Chapter 4047: Dao Wild Beasts Should Not Have Existed
Filth tides erupt periodically, each lasting several days sometimes longer, sometimes shorter. Dao Wild Beasts come after a filth tide, but the scale varies. Sometimes only a few hundred show up, which is nothing. Other times, a massive horde follows the tide. No one can predict if a beast tide will happen, so every time a filth tide erupts, all Great Dao Lords mobilize just in case.
Outside the formation, the flowing lights grew ever brighter these lights were all the result of Great Dao impurities. The more dazzling the lights, the more filth and impurities there were. The formation filtered the clouds, removing the oppressive aura and leaving only the essence. But in Lin Moyu's eyes, what was blocked by the formation was actually the most important information. That's why he wanted to leave the formation and probe the true source.
When the filth and impurities reached their limit, nothing remained outside the formation but chaotic, flowing light. Shengxin's expression grew grave. "The filth tide is coming."
Lin Moyu had never seen a filth tide, but he could sense that when something reaches its extreme, there must be a reaction. Either things reverse at the extreme, or there's a complete outburst, unleashing all accumulated power. The filth tide was the latter when filth piled up to its limit, it surged forth in a wave.
In an instant, the dazzling lights vanished, all color turning to black as a tsunami of darkness crashed forward. Wave after wave of filth battered the formation, making it roar, and countless Origin Mountains inside the formation hummed in response. The Origin Mountains underwent strange changes some rose, some sank, some expanded outward, others contracted. Their changes triggered shifts in the formations carved on them, which then began to deform and collapse.
"Suppress!"
With a roar, the Battle Sovereign appeared in the void, splitting into thousands of avatars at every corner of the formation. Each Battle Sovereign drew the heavy blade on his back and stabbed it into the formation. Instantly, the battered formation stabilized, and the turmoil in the Origin Mountains subsided. All the formations on the Origin Mountains activated, linking with others to unleash immense power, resisting the filth tide and stabilizing the battlefield.
The Heaven and Earth Battlefield is vast, and the filth tide targets the entire area, not just one spot. There are thousands of formations across the battlefield, all needed to withstand the tide.
Shengxin explained, "Without Grandpa Battle Sovereign overseeing the formations, every filth tide would cause several to collapse. Filth would pour in through those breaches, polluting the battlefield. The Origin Mountains would be affected, causing even more formations to collapse, leading to a vicious cycle. After the filth tide, Dao Wild Beasts would rush in through the gaps, making our defense much harder."
Lin Moyu was puzzled. "With so many formations, and each so powerful, shouldn't some have developed formation spirits?"
Shengxin replied, "There have been formation spirits more than one but it's useless. Filth tides can corrupt even formation spirits." Even formation spirits couldn't withstand the filth truly terrifying.
Shengxin continued, "Later, Grandpa Battle Sovereign became the formation spirit, merging with the formations. Since then, it's been much harder for the filth tide to break through. With his help, even if a beast tide follows, we can handle it much more easily." Watching the Battle Sovereign's countless avatars control the formations, making the battlefield ironclad, Lin Moyu had to admit it was impressive.
Still, to Lin Moyu, neither the filth tide nor the formations were anything special. No matter how strong the filth tide, it couldn't threaten a Great Dao Lord. The real threat would come from the Dao Wild Beasts afterward. On the surface, it seemed the filth tide was just paving the way for the beasts.
But Lin Moyu saw something deeper. At the very center of the filth tide, tiny points of light were born. The filth tide was dirty, chaotic, and the filthiest thing in the world. Yet the lights born from it felt pure to Lin Moyu. He immediately thought of the souls of Dao Wild Beasts their souls are extremely pure, the opposite of their filthy bodies.
Lin Moyu muttered, "So the filth tide is the source of Dao Wild Beasts' birth."
Shengxin was startled. "Daoist Lin, how do you know that?"
Lin Moyu replied, "I saw it. The souls of Dao Wild Beasts are born from the filth tide, though their bodies must form elsewhere."
Shengxin frowned. "Souls?" She clearly hadn't seen the lights in the filth tide her soul realm wasn't high enough. Still, she chose to trust Lin Moyu. "An eternal once said that in the deepest part of the Wild Beast Ancestral Land, there are pools of Dao filth, and Dao Wild Beasts are born from them. As for the souls you mention, I haven't seen them."
Lin Moyu now understood the entire process: pure souls are born from the filth tide, bodies form from the pools of Dao filth, and together they make a Dao Wild Beast. Their chaotic, filthy, cursed bodies need pure souls to control them two extremes, perfectly combined, just like his own Immortality Great Dao. And because their souls are so pure, they instinctively yearn for the Great Daos in the Origin Ancestral Land.
Dao Wild Beasts are the ultimate extreme products of a world with no master, things that shouldn't exist. Lin Moyu also thought of the Soul Devouring Spirits. "Dao impurities create Dao Wild Beasts; the world's own filth creates Soul Devouring Spirits. One gnaws at the Great Dao, the other devours living beings. How interesting. So what exactly are the Heaven and Earth Spirit Demons?"
Lin Moyu felt he was close to unraveling the world's final secret.
The filth tide crashed against the formation in waves, but with the Battle Sovereign in control, the formation held firm. In the distance, powerful auras approached Great Dao Lords arriving. After the filth tide, Dao Wild Beasts would surely come, the only question was how many. Their job was to clear out the beasts.
Shengxin said, "Let's hope there isn't a beast tide."
Lin Moyu asked, "Are beast tides really that terrible?"
Shengxin replied, "It depends. A small tide is just a thousand or two Dao Wild Beasts and a few Dao Wild Beast Kings we can handle that. A big tide is trouble; people will get hurt. The kind of massive riot we had before has only happened a few times in history."
The God of Light and Lord of Darkness arrived too it was the duty of all Great Dao Lords, so they had to come. But they kept their distance from Lin Moyu. He didn't care about them they were just clowns compared to the Lord of Curses.
Suddenly, a voice sounded in Lin Moyu's soul. "Daoist Lin, may I have a word?"
