Chapter 4033: Crushing
The true battle began. Now that Lin Moyu's true spirit imprint was gone, the world will had lost the ability to control his life and death. If the imprint had remained, the world will could have killed him through it, forcing him to die over and over as long as it wasn't completely destroyed. Everything done before, including planting the karmic fruit, was to make the world will personally crush that true spirit imprint. Now that it was done, it was time to send the world will on its way.
Origin energy surged as Lin Moyu's cultivation rapidly soared. For the world will this pitiful being whom he had schemed against so deeply Lin Moyu gave it enough respect. He did not summon his undead servants to gang up, nor did he use the statues left by the Celestial Civilization. He wanted to use his own full power to give his opponent a worthy end.
His realm kept rising, in both the real and virtual worlds, and in a blink, Lin Moyu reached the peak of the Dao Lord realm. An Yuyan's beautiful eyes widened at this moment, Lin Moyu was no weaker than herself. She even wondered if he had rejoined the Great Dao and become a Great Dao Lord again.
But the next moment, her eyes nearly popped out. Lin Moyu's aura rose again, breaking through the Dao Lord realm. Though he had no Dao, at this moment, An Yuyan clearly sensed Lin Moyu's cultivation had surpassed her own. To surpass her realm meant reaching the final step.
"He… has taken that step?" An Yuyan could hardly believe it, nor dared to think further.
In both worlds, Lin Moyu's body and soul broke through simultaneously.
"Great Dao World Ending Palm!"
In both worlds, he struck out with the same palm. The power used differed: in the real world, he used half his strength; in the Soul Void, only thirty percent. The world will in the real world was a bit stronger, so he used more force. In the Soul Void, he was careful not to accidentally destroy the whole world with a single blow.
As the Great Dao World Ending Palm appeared, the power of ten thousand Daos gathered. On the Origin Continent and the Outer Great Dao, every cultivator felt as if their own cultivation and realm were being drawn away, merging into that palm.
The world will also punched out, meeting the palm head on. Its fist shattered like tofu, and amid its unwilling roar, the World Ending Palm smashed its body and scattered its will, utterly annihilating it. The palm print then vanished into the world's depths.
Only then did everyone feel their power returning.
"What a terrifying palm!"
"So this is Lin Moyu's true strength?"
"Even the world will couldn't withstand that palm has Lin Moyu already become a legendary Great Dao Lord?"
"Maybe, but I think even a Great Dao Lord might not survive that palm."
Their shock turned to fear, then to submission. Even Dao Lords didn't dare oppose Lin Moyu anymore. Someone with endless schemes, overwhelming dominance, and unfathomable strength facing such a being, it was best to behave.
In the Soul Void, the thirty percent strength World Ending Palm also shattered the world will. The palm quickly dissipated, and Lin Moyu sensed the karma he had accidentally killed a few people, but thankfully not too many. He didn't care about a bit of karmic backlash; his body and soul both shattered and were reborn in purple light.
The aftereffects of the World Ending Palm were unchanged he still had to die once. After rebirth, Lin Moyu's consciousness fully returned to the Soul Void. He bowed to An Yuyan, "Senior, my business here is done. Thank you for your help."
An Yuyan smiled, "No need to be so polite, Lin Daoist. I gained a lot myself and saw things I never imagined. Just now, Lin Daoist…"
Lin Moyu replied, "You mean my realm just now, right?"
An Yuyan nodded. "If I'm not mistaken, you surpassed the Dao Lord realm."
Lin Moyu said, "With the Origin Technique, I did briefly surpass the Dao Lord realm. As you know, that's the final step. I only barely touched the edge, not even half a step."
"Strictly speaking, I only brushed against it and only for a moment."
An Yuyan asked, "Do you know what that realm is?"
Lin Moyu shook his head. "I don't. But I once discussed it with the Discernment Beast, who called it 'transcendence.'"
"Transcendence…" An Yuyan murmured. "Does that mean transcending this world?"
Lin Moyu said, "That's one way to put it, but to know for sure, you have to experience it yourself. It's an indescribable realm."
No one could truly describe transcendence. Even the Myriad Spirits Pavilion's inheritance had no description of the Saint Spirit Realm. To surpass one's own world, you could only do so according to that world's rules.
An Yuyan said, "It seems you have hope of breaking through that last step."
Lin Moyu shook his head. "It's difficult. From what I know, that step is extremely hard. I can only keep searching."
An Yuyan knew that step was hard, and didn't dwell on it. "What do you plan to do with this world?"
Lin Moyu replied, "This world will become mine. After so much planning, I have to gain something."
She didn't ask for details. "Then I'll take my leave. If you need anything, contact me."
"Take care, Senior!"
As she left, An Yuyan's manner changed. She called herself "Yuyan," signaling a closer relationship and recognizing Lin Moyu as her peer. After that palm strike, she felt even she would have trouble withstanding it.
After An Yuyan left, Lin Moyu turned his attention to the Origin Continent. The world will there had been destroyed; for a new one to be born would take at least ten million years. Now, with his true spirit imprint gone, the world considered Lin Moyu an outsider. But since he'd lived there so long, the transition would take a year or three. After that, the world would treat him as a foreigner, possibly drawing hostility from other beings.
Lin Moyu needed to finish his business before then. In the past, this would have been troublesome only the Soul Seizing Technique could solve it. But now, with the Myriad Spirits Secret Art, he had a better way.
He released the stolen true spirit imprints, letting them return to the world. Then he found the world's origin core, split off a wisp of soul, and used the Spirit Nurturing Technique to nurture a new world spirit.
…
As An Yuyan left, her expression was complex. She had truly seen things that opened her eyes someone breaking through the Dao King realm. After leaving, she stopped and looked into the void. "Human Sovereign, please show yourself."
With a soft laugh, the Human Sovereign appeared. "Greetings, Daoist Yuyan."
She asked, "Why are you here?"
He replied, "Don't you know?"
Her expression changed. "What are you planning?"
