Chapter 4658: The Road to the Forbidden Zone of Life
Azure Dragon's world is slowly collapsing, because back then Azure Dragon obtained a rare treasure, which caused the collapse of the world to happen extremely slowly, allowing this world to persist until now.
This slowness also made some rules within Azure Dragon's world extremely chaotic: some have collapsed, some are still holding on.
Beyond the world lies the Forbidden Zone of Life. After a world survives its first life or death tribulation, becoming a living world, it gains a special connection to the Forbidden Zone of Life.
For example, in the deepest part of the Chaotic Wilderness, the Primordial Vortex is such a connection.
The reason for this connection remains a mystery, but it is real.
Azure Dragon's world is the same it also contains a region associated with the Forbidden Zone of Life, imbued with its power.
Originally that region was patterned and predictable, but with the current chaotic rules, it has become unruly and lost its former order.
The power from the Forbidden Zone of Life manifests here as drifting fog, sometimes growing, sometimes shrinking, sometimes dispersing, sometimes gathering, changing extremely quickly and without warning, making it impossible to predict.
This terrifying power from the Forbidden Zone of Life possesses mind boggling destructive force; even Sovereigns who touch it will be injured.
For soul avatars like Sovereign September, it's almost instant death.
If she is here, she can hardly move and faces mortal danger at all times.
Massive numbers of undead soldiers poured in, exploring the space, but before flying far, they would encounter the fog and die on the spot.
Killed by the Forbidden Zone's power, they could only resurrect within the summoning world, unable to revive on site.
With their exploration blocked, Lin Moyu had to act personally.
He passed through the maze like caves deep underground to enter this deadly region.
Immediately, Lin Moyu sensed many different energies: some disorderly rules that hadn't collapsed, the familiar power of the Forbidden Zone of Life, and a soul aura from the Chaotic Wilderness.
"Sovereign September really is here," he confirmed, sensing that she had lingered for a long time her soul aura was dense.
Following the aura, she should have gone inside, though her fate was unclear.
"Let's just try it out first," he said.
He went to the edge of the fog to test it.
Having dealt with the Forbidden Zone of Life's power countless times, he was very familiar with it and boldly reached out to touch the mist. His hand came away with a few wounds, but unlike the undead soldiers, he did not disintegrate instantly.
"All those previous battles were not for nothing!"
Lin Moyu smiled his body had slowly adapted to the power of the Forbidden Zone of Life.
This adaptation worked here just as it did in the Primordial Vortex and in the Broken Azure world.
He sensed the mist "The power of the Forbidden Zone of Life is always the same."
Chaos Gem disagreed, "Of course it's the same, no matter how many worlds there are, there's only one Forbidden Zone of Life."
Lin Moyu shook his head, "I originally thought when the Forbidden Zone of Life came into a world, it would be influenced by that world's rules and change, just as the primordial qi is different in each world."
"But it turns out that's not the case Forbidden Zone of Life is not affected by world rules; its level is higher."
Chaos Gem said, "So that's what master thought. It's not strange; that possibility makes sense. But the Forbidden Zone of Life is special. It isn't influenced by anything wherever it appears, it remains unchanged."
Lin Moyu pondered, "Every living world contains power of the Forbidden Zone of Life, sometimes weak, sometimes strong. The weak can injure Sovereigns; the strong can kill them or even injure supreme beings."
Chaos Gem asked, "What are you thinking?"
Lin Moyu said, "If I'm not wrong, some supreme beings have tried to study the Forbidden Zone power within worlds."
Chaos Gem nodded, "Yes, the supreme beings who mastered the Primordial Art have all tried, but gained little."
But did they really gain nothing?
Even if they did, they wouldn't say, and Chaos Gem could only observe from the outside, unable to witness actual results.
Some insights can only belong to the discoverer, unsuitable for outsiders.
Lin Moyu said, "Looks like I was right: this road was made for supreme beings no one has succeeded in walking it yet."
"Heaven closes no door; worlds are the same. Supreme beings are already at the limit of a world. The next step is entering the Forbidden Zone."
Worlds absorb a portion of Forbidden Zone power and present it as fog weak at first, then stronger, forming steps for supremes to climb and eventually escape the world.
Some supreme beings have probably realized that too, yet through the ages none have succeeded…
Lin Moyu then mused, "You said those supremes who went to research the Forbidden Zone were all masters of the Primordial Art?"
Chaos Gem replied, "Yes. More precisely, only after mastering the Primordial Art did they try to study the Forbidden Zone's power."
"No exceptions?"
"There were a few who tried before mastering it, but they soon gave up."
Lin Moyu pressed, "And after they gave up, what did they do?"
Chaos Gem searched his vast memory, and after digging into ancient recollections, said, "After giving up, all of them sought out the Primordial Art. Not everyone could get it, though it depends on fate."
Lin Moyu's eyes glinted, "So there must be a connection between the Primordial Art and the Forbidden Zone. The Primordial Art and the world are at the same level. The world can coexist inside Forbidden Zone power, so perhaps the Art is the key to entering the Zone."
Chaos Gem said, "But what's the point? Plenty have learned the Primordial Art, but none survived entry into the Forbidden Zone."
Lin Moyu replied, "The path is there. Whether you can walk it depends on your own ability. But it's good just to know the direction."
As he spoke, he flew deep into the fog. The Forbidden Zone's power swept over him, but Lin Moyu emerged unscathed.
His voice rang out from within the mist, "Like me adapting to the Forbidden Zone's power, growing from weak to strong, step by step, in the end I'll reach the finish. Maybe the Primordial Art is the key, but maybe there's more than one path. Once I get the Art, I'll study it thoroughly and see if my path is correct!"
His voice brimmed with confidence in himself and in his strength.
Chaos Gem laughed, "Master, you can do it. You're the best."
Lin Moyu suddenly remarked, "Ever since our journey to the depths of the Ancient Wilderness, you seem to have changed."
Chaos Gem paused. "Did I? No, master, you must be mistaken!"
Lin Moyu was sure. "You've changed, but it doesn't matter as long as you are still you."
He emerged from the fog, pressing onward into the depths of the space.
