Chapter 4648: Don't Block Me, Or I'll Kill You
After recalling Xiao Peng, Lin Moyu entered the Fire Sea alone.
The flames of the Eastern Extreme wrapped around him like snakes, but Lin Moyu walked leisurely through the fire, letting the flames burn freely.
His powerful body naturally emitted a protective aura, forming an invisible shield that blocked the flames. The fire of the East did not harm Lin Moyu in any way.
His arrival was like a splash of cold water in boiling oil an immediate chain reaction.
The fire raged, seemingly sentient, determined to burn Lin Moyu to ash.
The fire's intensity continued to increase, but no matter how strong it became, it could do nothing to him.
The Fire Sea didn't give up, continually growing stronger as if there was no end.
Lin Moyu heard countless furious roars many beings were hurtling toward him. Not even the Fire Sea could hide his presence.
"Heaven and Earth rules, you're being naughty again," Lin Moyu murmured with thinly veiled disdain.
This extreme reaction was in part because the world's rules were meddling.
Others had entered the Fire Sea before, and there was always a response, but never this intense.
Many lifeforms lived in the Fire Sea. Normally, they never left its bounds, but now, driven by hatred, they rushed at Lin Moyu.
None got close: the hidden Shadow Bug Queen killed them all, turning them into corpses drifting through the flames.
Unable to use the cause seeking ring, Lin Moyu randomly picked a direction and advanced, usually checking the stone tower for a reaction.
The Fire Sea was vast, and his method was a bit like looking for a needle in a haystack. But with enough speed, he would soon turn over the whole ocean and eventually find the needle.
This slow approach wasted time but worked, and Lin Moyu had patience.
Each place he passed became littered with corpses, the Shadow Bug Queen hiding in time and space and killing everything that attacked.
Walking on corpses, Lin Moyu searched for the hidden tunnel in the sea of fire.
The flames became even wilder, and their power kept increasing enough now to incinerate even a powerful full realm expert to ash.
Yet to Lin Moyu it still meant nothing; he didn't even feel hot.
On the fifth day inside the Fire Sea, a strong aura rushed his way.
"A quasi Sovereign finally shows up," Lin Moyu commented though he didn't even bother to look.
But, the Shadow Bug Queen came first.
The quasi Sovereign, still with some independent thought despite the great calamity's influence and with the fiery temper common in the East, his reason was fraying.
"Stop!" yelled the newcomer.
But, a moment later, he screamed instead as the Shadow Bug Queen struck: so fierce, he had to run for his life instead of fighting.
If he didn't run, he'd die.
He only had time to yell once and then flee faster than he arrived.
The Bug Queen didn't chase, continuing to execute Lin Moyu's command: guard the surroundings, kill any enemy who came close, no exceptions.
Lin Moyu was a death mark, a dazzling star wherever he went, he was the center of attention. But to appreciate the star's beauty was to pay the price of life. The Shadow Bug Queen was that deadly red line. Get close and you died.
A few days later, Lin Moyu didn't even remember how many he'd killed, nor did he care.
He reckoned he'd covered about a tenth of the whole Fire Sea.
Even with the worst luck, it'd only take a hundred or so days to search it all.
As for luck being the world's enemy, luck was always as bad as could be.
The Fire Sea suddenly erupted again, this time differently.
Countless screams and angry howls those previously killed by the Shadow Bug Queen instantly turned to red ashes, all streaming to a single spot.
The whole Fire Sea transformed into a giant portal as the red ash converged in one place.
At the same time, a host of Fire Sea creatures appeared there, blanketed in the red ash from their dead. The ash gathered into a thick layer on their bodies, and as they compressed together, they fused into a gigantic red beast wreathed in flames.
The beast's aura was not inferior to a Sovereign's, perhaps stronger than the previous quasi Sovereign.
"It's said that the Fire Sea holds billions of lifeforms. Most are scattered, but when they gather, they become the Fire Beast, bearing Sovereign might it's true," Lin Moyu muttered.
The beast resembled the ancient Desolate Fire Beast though not nearly as strong.
Chaos Child remarked, "The Fire Sea is said to be formed from the Desolate Fire Beast's remains. This beast looks a bit like the original, but with much weaker power."
Lin Moyu remembered the Desolate Fire Beast it ranked ninth in the ancient era, and any in the top ten were terrifyingly strong, often stronger than Sovereigns.
Now, this newly formed beast merely resembled it in form, not in power.
The Shadow Bug Queen struck, thousand legs like blades, hacking through time and space to attack from countless angles at once.
The Fire Beast roared, flames surging but it could do nothing against the Queen, whose attacks were from another layer of time.
Blades pierced the beast's body, shattering half of it.
The rest exploded, as space time tore its body apart, pieces thrown into different eras and unable to recombine.
"It was just a mishmash of corpses unstable by nature. Its Sovereign aura was just a shell. That's why the Queen could kill it so easily," Lin Moyu chuckled, unimpressed.
If the real Desolate Fire Beast were present, things would be different.
When the beast died, countless Fire Sea beings also perished, and resentment soared.
In the distance, blinding light flared; a sun rose from the Fire Sea, then another and another, until there were nine across the sky.
The Quasi Sovereign of Nine Suns Lin Moyu was not impressed.
He'd defeated this one before in the ancient wilds what could he do now?
Even with his power boosted by the Fire Sea, he still could not withstand the Shadow Bug Queen.
The nine suns blazed. The Nine Suns Quasi Sovereign appeared among them, glaring coldly at Lin Moyu: "It's you!"
Lin Moyu grinned, "I have business here. When I'm done, I'll go. If you block me, I'll kill you!"
