Chapter 4839: Dao Heart Worlds
Within Lin Moyu's Dao heart radiance, a hundred worlds had already solidified into reality.
These worlds were different from the Word God Heaven and Earth.
Though he was master of that realm, its origin did not lie with him.
The worlds in his Dao heart light, however, had been condensed bit by bit by himself, supported at their core by his own body and soul.
He named these worlds the Dao heart Worlds.
They existed because of him; if anything happened to him, the Dao heart Worlds would also collapse.
These were truly, completely, and utterly his, bound to him more closely than even the Word God Heaven and Earth.
The birth of each Dao heart World increased the burden on his body and soul.
The more complex and powerful a Dao heart World grew, the heavier that burden became.
Everything had two sides.
While they added weight, the Dao heart Worlds also brought astonishing benefits.
They could serve as formation foundations.
He had already done so before, and formations laid upon a Dao heart World were several times more powerful.
Back then, the Dao heart Worlds had not even fully solidified; once they did, the formations' power could rise further still.
Depending on the number and strength of such worlds, the power of a formation could increase tenfold, a hundredfold.
Lin Moyu divided his formations into tiers.
The weakest tier was composed purely of rune based arrays.
Of course, with his Formation Dao perfected, even such rune only formations were enough to suppress Primal Chaos apex powerhouses.
For someone like the Purple Gold Emperor, that weakest tier of array would suffice, even if he wielded a Primal Chaos Supreme Treasure.
Next came arrays whose foundations were condensed from Dao heart radiance.
These had already fully escaped the shackles of worldly rules and were capable of suppressing weaker Primordial Savage Fiends.
Above that were arrays based on Dao heart Worlds, which existed in two states: illusory and solid.
Illusory Dao heart Worlds were easy to evolve, requiring only a single thought.
Their existence caused no extra burden to his body and soul, and using them as foundations made his formations even stronger.
If he used a solid Dao heart World as the formation base, the result would be far more terrifying though he had not yet truly tested how far it could go.
He could, however, feel that a single solid Dao heart World as the array core was enough to increase a formation's power tenfold.
Once solidified, a Dao heart World became truly real.
Besides serving as a formation base, it also supplied him with immense force.
He could freely draw upon the power of the worlds within his Dao heart and unleash horrifying strength without changing his body or soul.
That sense of power was intoxicating.
With the power of a single world, he almost felt he could face a Primordial Savage Fiend head on using only his physical body.
Those Primal Chaos apex beings could be killed by his hand with ease.
His body and soul were already vastly beyond such experts; with Dao heart Worlds added on top, this level of feat was not difficult.
Now that he possessed a hundred Dao heart Worlds, if he mobilized all their power, the strength he could erupt with would be utterly terrifying though his body and soul would struggle to endure it, leaving him gravely wounded if not dead.
At other times, dying was no big deal; rebirth would simply restore him.
But here, he had a feeling that his rebirth might not work.
Thus, the key problem remained the strengthening of body and soul.
"Rebirth is not the true path.
"In the end, the solution must be to bring body and soul to a state of indestructibility that is the proper path."
He knew he could not lean too heavily on rebirth.
If it was ever restricted for some reason, he would have no retreat.
He walked the divine road and arrived before the seventy first divine hall.
Once more, the hall had changed.
A seven colored radiance fell from the heavens and wrapped the hall, transforming into a great formation.
Every ten halls, this hall would undergo some change Lin Moyu was already used to it.
He examined the seven colored array and found it was still a sealing formation, not substantially different in structure from those he had previously seen.
However, this one was stronger not by a small margin, but dozens of times.
The source of its strength lay in…
He looked up at the sky.
At the origin point of the seven colored light, a miniature, multicolored world shimmered.
Within this world, countless beings lived, its rules perfected, and Daos rose and fell within it.
"This is a Dao heart World and a strong one at that.
"With such a world as the array core, no wonder this sealing formation is so powerful."
"With a seal this strong, whatever is imprisoned inside must be extremely formidable."
He pressed his hand to the formation and peered into the hall.
There, the space within the hall stretched out into a boundless void.
Around it, multicolored radiance formed a cage.
Within that cage, a winged, dragon like Primordial Savage Fiend thrashed madly.
The sealing formation had not fully suppressed it; the creature repeatedly battered against it, yet the great formation held firm under its impacts.
Who knew how many years this had gone on?
Lin Moyu could feel the pent up rage and resentment gathering in the fiend's heart.
Sensing his gaze, the creature snapped its head up toward him.
Hundreds of black eyes blossomed on its body, firing out jagged black lances of light.
The lances struck the formation and sent showers of seven colored light cascading in all directions.
Lin Moyu's consciousness, which had merged into the array, shattered in an instant.
Though the fiend could not break the formation, it could still shake it.
"Truly powerful far stronger than the ones before."
A sealing formation built on a single Dao heart World as its core was already overwhelmingly strong, yet it could only keep this fiend trapped, not completely seal it.
If the prisoners were Primal Chaos apex experts, no matter how many, a single such array would suffice.
The seventy first hall's difficulty had risen sharply.
If he had not comprehended the Dao heart Worlds and solidified them, he would not be its match; the fiend might have killed him in an instant.
But now…
Lin Moyu parted the formation and stepped in.
The moment he entered, a furious roar shook the hall.
The sound was drenched in killing intent.
His soul trembled and nearly shattered; his body reeled under a dreadful impact.
The roar felt almost tangible, and bloody wounds opened across his flesh.
Only because his body and soul were fused as one did he survive; otherwise, this single roar would have been enough to kill him.
Any other Primal Chaos apex expert would have failed to live through it.
Even so, he temporarily lost control of his body.
He found himself frozen in place, his consciousness plunging into stillness.
Darkness flashed before his eyes, and the fiend was suddenly there, right in front of him.
"I will eat you."
The creature opened its maw, revealing pitch black fangs, and snapped down.
Its mouth was like an endless abyss; in comparison, Lin Moyu was no larger than a grain of dust.
With his last sliver of conscious thought, his Dao heart flared and divine radiance erupted.
"Dao heart, protect."
His silent roar shook the void.
The radiance of his Dao heart blasted forth, and within it a world emerged, smashing into the fiend like a titanic fist.
The Primordial Savage Fiend was knocked backward by the protective divine light, but the world within that light nearly collapsed.
For such a price, all he did was push it away.
As the light flowed, Lin Moyu regained control of his body.
His finger moved.
The Dao heart radiance, bearing a solidified world, fused with his runes and became the core of the Nine Heavens Slaughter Formation.
"Suppress and kill."
