Chapter 4599: Grand Sovereign's Limit
During the fourth cycle of self destruction, just as Lin Moyu anticipated, after fewer than five thousand deaths, his body and soul both reached the Grand Sovereign's limit.
If he could advance further, he would reach the level of a Supreme.
Once at that level, Lin Moyu could directly confront the 'Dao' even without the Disaster Scepter, he'd be able to fight.
However, his strength was just in body and soul. In the world, being strong isn't only about body and soul; there's also the Dao, and the legacy of creation itself.
That final step is extremely difficult the Grand Sovereign's limit isn't easily broken.
Lin Moyu felt the force in the Primordial Vortex, which belonged to the Life Restricted Zone, was no longer sufficient to help him break the barrier.
Once his body and soul hit the limit, his death times increased, and the Zone's power began to noticeably diminish.
Even so, as he kept undergoing rebirth, he could clearly feel his body and soul growing still stronger just as the Primal Chaos Stone said, this was a foundation for entering the Life Restricted Zone.
This wasn't about battle power but about a fundamental change, an ability to absorb and contain the Zone's energies.
He died several more times, and then his rebirths were again interrupted.
A vortex with a ten thousand meter diameter was no longer enough.
Lin Moyu realized he needed a stronger vortex the next step on the ladder to the Life Restricted Zone, a step he was now climbing faster and faster.
The Primal Chaos Stone was reliable, quickly finding a vortex ten times larger with a 100,000 meter diameter.
Lin Moyu entered again and, through continuous cycles, noticed something:
Initially, as the diameter from ten meters to a hundred increased, the power from the Life Restricted Zone increased proportionally.
Later, though, as each vortex's size increased, the strength from the Zone did not keep pace.
For example, this time, when he went from ten thousand to a hundred thousand meters, the diameter increased tenfold, but the Zone's strength only doubled.
The Stone explained: the world couldn't endlessly absorb energy from the Life Restricted Zone or it would shatter.
So there's an upper limit set by the rules of the world.
As vortices kept getting bigger, the increment of the Zone's force kept shrinking.
For example, the largest vortex was nearly 100,000 li over a hundred million meters but its energy concentration was less than thirty percent greater than the previous tier.
This is the world's limit; it can never absorb infinite power from the Zone, or it would collapse.
Lin Moyu felt this change himself; inside the 100,000 meter vortex, he needed only five thousand rebirths to fully adapt.
He moved on to a million meter vortex, continuing to adapt checking his remaining rebirths, he had plenty.
Each time he changed vortex, he took steady steps, never rushing.
Finally, reaching the largest vortex, he fully adapted to the Life Restricted Zone's force within.
At this point, both his body and soul truly reached the Grand Sovereign's maximum.
If he could go beyond, he might really break into Supreme tier.
Even if he failed, he'd be right alongside the 'Dao.'
Only now he couldn't find another suitable environment the Primordial Vortices are the only areas with Zone energy in the world.
To go further, Lin Moyu would need to actually enter the Life Restricted Zone.
But that was too dangerous 99% odds of never returning.
Lin Moyu wasn't afraid of danger, but he wasn't reckless either.
"Maybe there's one place…"
He remembered a shattered world linked by a time space passage the remains of a world, utterly dangerous and brimming with destructive force.
The Stone said: "Maybe, but probably not enough. Master, your body and soul are very strong."
"Their strength will drive further changes now that we're at the world's beginning, change is suppressed. Once you leave, the rules will activate and your realm will immediately advance."
"Not enough for Grand Sovereign, but reaching perfected Chaos realm should be certain, and you possess a domain, fitting world law."
Lin Moyu shook his head. "I'm not ready for Chaos realm perfection my domain isn't ready."
"Master, check how far your domain's evolved. Here, time is chaotic your world has already gone through a long period."
Lin Moyu realized he'd forgotten about time he had no idea how long he'd spent inside the Primordial Vortex.
There seemed to be an invisible force making him ignore the passage of time.
Plus, at the dawn of this world, time itself was in disarray.
He focused on his storage space and found something unusual.
Time had passed quickly the Five Realms were already perfected, which was not surprising since they were stronger from the outset.
Unexpectedly, the Great Thousand World, the Science Dao Realm, and the Myriad Wonders Realm all reached perfection too.
The remaining domain seeds had all become domains, rapidly approaching perfection.
At this pace, it wouldn't be long before all these domains were perfected.
His world felt like a movie on fast forward a time dilation effect showing time in his region moved quicker.
A day here was hundreds in the storage space.
And the same was true of the Chaos Wilds.
Lin Moyu asked, "What about the disaster?"
The Stone said: "Because of your rise in power, the progress of the calamity keeps accelerating; and here, time itself is off. I can't see details, but I sense the calamity is nearly ready to erupt."
"When you return to Chaos Wilds, be extra careful unexpected things can happen. I've seen many calamities and many calamity bound ones…"
Lin Moyu understood during calamity, the rules of the world interfere and change many minds.
Old enemies grow more hostile; old friends may become enemies for various reasons.
These changes come from the world, not from human will.
An inner voice urged him to bring his wives into the storage space, away from the disaster and out from this troubled world.
Now finished, Lin Moyu turned for home. "Let's go, we're heading back."
He produced the Calamity Boat and left the Primordial Vortex, choosing a direction at random.
No need to seek the way back any direction would return to the Wilds, and he needed to acclimate to the rules there.
The Stone said: "During your ordeal, I incidentally found something."
He offered him the dust from the Time Essence Stone: "Master, guess what this is."
