Chapter 4678: In Need of More Worlds
The Primal Techniques (Tianchu Arts) were far more complex than imagined, touching every facet of a world, down to every minute detail.
They are a natural product of a world's evolution, participating in the process at every stage until they finally emerge as independent arts.
Lin Moyu now wished to do the reverse before his Yu Shen Heaven gave birth to its own Primal Technique, he would use his special status to create one himself.
A Primal Technique is equal in level to its world, but Lin Moyu aimed to make his creation surpass even the world itself.
Naturally, the difficulty is immense!
Having mastered more than a hundred Primal Techniques and seen the unique and common points between different worlds, Lin Moyu developed a deep understanding. His own Primal Technique had started to take shape, but so far, it was only a rough draft, far from truly usable.
He realized clearly that his Primal Technique still needed much work. To perfect it, he had to observe the changes in different worlds, seeking out their details to refine his creation.
He could observe Yu Shen Heaven, but that was not enough.
He could also try to observe the Chaos Ancient Wasteland, but at this stage, the realm's rules had already blocked him out.
Only when a Supreme appeared and refined the world, removing his "public enemy" status, would he be able to observe it freely.
And even those two worlds were insufficient he needed more, just as he needed all those various Primal Techniques.
Lin Moyu now had a goal.
The Chaos Ancient Wasteland, as the last radiance of many worlds, naturally attracted the remnants of destroyed worlds, pulling them ever closer and forming spatial channels.
Previously, these channels were hard to find, but after the eruption of the tribulation, they began to reveal themselves, one by one.
If he could discover these spatial channels, he could travel to other worlds even if only to see ruined remains, it would be worthwhile.
All the more so, since he intended to seek out those fragments specifically of worlds above seven cycles.
By refining these and merging a portion of their power into Yu Shen Heaven before Yu Shen Heaven had fully set he could strengthen it to the limit.
In the past, such a feat would have been nearly impossible; even if some remaining power was absorbed, it would not have been enough to substantially strengthen Yu Shen Heaven.
But now, using the foundation of the Primal Techniques, he could absorb and refine much more, integrating it into his world.
As he researched the Primal Techniques, a complete plan was formed.
This plan was the opportunity Emperor Azure Break had left for him the reason for giving him over a hundred Primal Techniques was so that, after comprehending them, one could absorb the power of world remnants.
Emperor Azure Break had never imagined that Lin Moyu would have a world of his own to nurture.
Coming back to himself, Lin Moyu swept his gaze across the void. A light spot appeared between his brows, glowing like a third eye and shooting out countless illusory rays.
The light pierced space and vanished, and Lin Moyu's presence changed. He seemed to stand above the world, looking down upon all creation.
At that moment, even if not transcending the world, he was on the same tier as it.
The Chaos Gem gasped in astonishment. "What's happening?"
What happened to Lin Moyu was beyond the Chaos Gem's understanding he could not fathom it at all.
He muttered, "Master's state… seems familiar."
The Chaos Gem probed his enormous memory for any similar situation, not noticing that beneath Lin Moyu, the little Peng was already trembling, eyes filled with terror.
This was not terror born of strength, but of a difference in the very levels of life itself Lin Moyu's aura inspired such dread that Little Peng did not dare to move, as if a slave facing its master, not even daring to glance up.
After a while, the Chaos Gem suddenly clapped. "I remember it's the Primal Technique!"
He recalled that some Supremes, when employing the Primal Technique to alter world laws, exhibited a similar aura.
He had only ever seen it from a distance before; now, feeling it up close, he hadn't immediately made the connection.
To achieve such a state, one had to master the Primal Technique to the extreme a feat not many Supremes could claim.
But Lin Moyu had already reached this level.
He wondered, "Odd Master hasn't refined the Chaos Ancient Wasteland, so why use the Primal Technique here?"
Even the Chaos Gem did not quite understand, for all his knowledge, he was not gifted at critical thinking.
Lin Moyu's brow glowed, his gaze sweeping in all directions, taking in everything for several breaths before withdrawing the Primal Technique and returning everything to normal.
Only then did the Chaos Gem ask, "Master, why did you use the Primal Technique?"
Lin Moyu answered, "It's not necessary to have refined a world in order to draw on the Primal Technique. I didn't change any rules I just wanted to see at what stage the tribulation had reached."
The Chaos Gem replied, "The tribulation broke out about twenty years ago; it's now in full swing."
He explained that the tribulation had three stages: accumulation, eruption, and aftermath. They'd now reached the explosion phase, the most dangerous period.
During this phase, most living beings would perish.
If luck was good, maybe half would die; bad luck meant 90% dead or even complete annihilation.
By leveraging his understanding of the Primal Technique, Lin Moyu forcibly peered into the Chaos Ancient Wasteland and witnessed the ravages of the tribulation.
Suddenly, great swathes of black clouds gathered in the void, and countless bolts of lightning thundered down at Lin Moyu.
He snorted, lashed out with his fists, and shattered the lightning, tearing the clouds apart.
This retribution was the world's rules punishing him for forcing an observation.
But such a punishment was trivial to Lin Moyu since he had not crossed any grave lines, the penalty was not serious.
The Chaos Gem asked, "What else did you see?"
Lin Moyu said, "Not too much. The laws responded quickly and cut off my view, but it seems chaos is everywhere outside."
The Chaos Gem replied calmly, "Pretty much blood flows like rivers, and domains are collapsing every moment. Countless lives die each second."
He spoke with a flat tone he'd seen too much of this, and nothing surprised him anymore.
At that moment, another formless power descended. Lin Moyu felt malice from the world's rules another attack.
But within that attack, he sensed an additional trace, someone hiding behind the world's rules not unseen by him.
He realized: by forcibly observing the world, he'd exposed his position.
Along with the earlier punishment, this time, someone guided the world's rules: the deeply hidden Hun Tian Huang Long had attacked again.
The world's law came as invisible force. This time, it was not hostile, but the Hidden Spirit Pearl suddenly cracked with a soft noise!
