Chapter 4610: Tianyu Daoist
A crisp sword cry echoed across the heavens, and Lin Mohan raced after, sword in hand.
Once she'd made up her mind, Lin Mohan wouldn't hesitate. Her sword path was always about advancing fearlessly no matter what or who blocked her way, she would strike.
Even if facing a former Supreme, her sword would not waver.
The undead minions opened a path through the throngs of monsters, reaching the center of the lake.
The Divine Lotus at the lake's heart shuddered, seemingly sensing threat, humming loudly.
Huge waves rose in the lake, forming walls of water; on these walls appeared countless eyes, and from the walls emerged fists, striking toward Lin Moyu.
The force behind these blows was immense, sending monsters and undead flying; in terms of momentum alone, it matched a Sovereign.
Sovereigns from Chaos Ancient Wilds couldn't use their full power here. At best, they were just a bit stronger than peak Chaos Realm cultivators.
But this enemy's punch truly seemed to possess Sovereign might. Neither Lin Mohan nor Purple Star Sovereign could block it.
Lin Moyu, however, took it in stride. He swung the Calamity Scepter, which rapidly enlarged and smashed down.
The seemingly mighty fist instantly shattered, as frail as tofu.
Lin Mohan's eyes shone. "The Calamity Scepter really is amazing."
Lin Moyu asked, "I'd like to ask you later how much you know about the Calamity Scepter."
Lin Mohan replied, "Nothing to ask about. It's simple. The Calamity Scepter is powerful, but even Calamity Daoist couldn't refine it when he got it he said it wasn't meant to be his. Seems it was destined for you."
What Lin Moyu knew matched Lin Mohan's account: Calamity Sovereign, upon gaining the Calamity Scepter, tried to refine it but failed.
After Destiny Sovereign's divination, it was revealed Calamity Scepter was not meant for Calamity Sovereign, at least not then.
There was a rightful owner. Later, in battle with "Dao," the Scepter injured Dao and was itself shattered.
Yet in truth, the Scepter didn't break from Dao's strike it self destructed.
It was too strong for the world to bear, so it had to split itself to fit the realm.
Lin Moyu's blow shattered the fist, then smashed the water walls as well, advancing toward the lotus.
He asked, "What was Calamity Sovereign's name before he got the Calamity Scepter?"
His fame stemmed from the Scepter, but before that his title was Tianyu.
Lin Mohan said, "He was called Tianyu Daoist."
Tianyu?
Lin Moyu instinctively asked, "Was he skilled in the Dao of Time?"
In cultivation, "Yu" means time. If Calamity Sovereign took his Dao for his name, that made sense.
Lin Mohan answered, "Yes, he specialized in the Dao of Time he also cultivated Space Dao, but less so."
"Looks like the small world was moved away by him," Lin Moyu concluded. The small world's removal was marked by bursts of time and space power.
The power spread across domains, finding the source continent inside, then linking the big world to the small.
He peeled the small world from the domain a process defying the Ancient Wilds' laws, triggering backlash.
Calamity Sovereign had to hide from Dao, so he operated in secret, careful not to use overwhelming force.
Thus, the process of moving the small world was slow, only finishing after a long time.
Now, the small world must be inside Calamity Sovereign's own domain. Finding it would be exceedingly difficult.
But Calamity Sovereign hoping to use it to control Lin Moyu was wishful thinking.
The divine lotus at the lake's heart vibrated more intensely. Several times it formed into giant figures to block Lin Moyu, but each was smashed aside by the Calamity Scepter.
In moments, Lin Moyu and Lin Mohan reached its side. The lotus glowed, and a tiny figure took shape inside the light.
The figure, intricate and powerful, but its eyes seemed to lack true spirit.
Lin Moyu said, "Good thing we got here early. If we'd come even a few centuries later, he'd be fully awake. It's up to you now Sis, use your Dao heart as a sword and cleave him."
Lin Mohan frowned, "I can feel his strength it's immense."
Even at only a bit over twenty percent of his consciousness, it was that of a Supreme far greater than any Sovereign.
Lin Moyu had claimed ninety percent confidence, but now things looked tougher.
Lin Moyu replied, "No worries he won't be stronger than you."
On the Calamity Scepter, Balance Gems shone, enveloping both the undead and the lotus.
Previously, only broad targeting was possible, but now Lin Moyu could select targets for perfect balance the Supreme's gathered consciousness was matched against tens of thousands of undead minions.
The undead surged in power, while the Supreme's aura dropped.
Although the overall soul strength stayed the same, the power it could output was now completely suppressed less than Lin Mohan's.
The undead, saturated with the Supreme's might, began to break and shatter, unable to withstand the force.
"Supreme's consciousness is truly overwhelming," Lin Moyu noted.
He summoned more undead to share the burden.
He said, "Sis, it's your turn!"
Lin Mohan understood. She closed her eyes and sent her soul forth, transformed into a sword, and struck the lotus.
"Impudence!"
Suddenly, an angry voice rang out from the void the Supreme's consciousness, under attack, reacted instinctively.
As master of this world, being attacked was intolerable.
His rebuke sounded as heavenly thunder, crashing down yet Lin Mohan's soul sword never wavered, only growing fiercer and slashing downward.
Lin Moyu smiled; he knew Lin Mohan's Dao heart would never falter before such a threat.
This was only the Supreme's fragmented mind; even at full strength, Lin Mohan would draw her sword.
Her soul sword, imbued with supreme sword intent and unwavering Dao heart, struck the lotus again and again.
The lotus instantly flared with a world shaking light; beams transformed into arrows, piercing the void.
Then, the lotus ignited with blazing fire, and Lin Mohan's sword was also enveloped in soul flame.
This was a grueling contest Lin Mohan had to devour and assimilate the opponent, while the Supreme strove instinctively to absorb Lin Mohan's soul.
To possess Lin Mohan was his last shot; otherwise, all his effort would go to someone else.
As a former Supreme, his intent was just as steely as Lin Mohan's, making the struggle fierce.
Success was far from guaranteed without Lin Moyu's help, Lin Mohan couldn't have even reached this point.
Now, Lin Moyu withdrew his aid, and her success rate dropped below ten percent.
Lin Moyu's palm burst into flame, the Worldburning Fire gently falling onto the lotus. Instantly, screams echoed, and the entire realm shook violently.
