 Chapter 2242: At Most One-Third Will Die

Tianlong laughed somewhat maniacally. After swallowing the Dragon Pearl, his aura began to rise rapidly.

In an instant, he broke through from half-step Supreme to full Supreme.

The return of the Dragon Pearl allowed his power to be restored.

A huge rule world appeared, fundamentally different from a Saint Lord's rule world.

A Saint Lord's rule world is constructed from their own rule power.

A Supreme's rule world requires the integration of origin power. Lin Moyu is from the great world, so if he becomes a Supreme, his origin power would come from the great world.

Tianlong's origin power comes from the dragon race.

Of course, this isn't necessarily the case. If there are other ways to obtain origin power, one can also become a Supreme.

Dragon roars echoed from within the rule world, becoming stronger and more real.

Tianlong laughed excitedly, "How many years has it been? This old dragon has finally returned to the Supreme realm!"

Lin Moyu also congratulated him, "Congratulations on returning to Supreme."

Tianlong was in an extremely good mood, laughing loudly, "The origin of the Black Blood Great World is very special and cannot be absorbed. Forcibly absorbing it would only lead to contamination and eventually assimilation."

"You think those guys stirred up the Black Blood Calamity to destroy the human race? You're mistaken. What they really want is to contaminate the great world's origin."

"As long as they contaminate the great world's origin, the Black Blood Great World can assimilate the great world, ultimately replacing it and becoming a new Black Blood Great World!"

"I know you have questions, but don't ask. The origin of the Black Blood Great World is terrifying. I can't speak of it, I can't!"

Tianlong seemed somewhat deranged in his laughter, perhaps due to excessive excitement.

He ultimately didn't truly lose his sanity. There were some things that absolutely could not be said, and he wouldn't mention them.

Lin Moyu now fully understood the essence of the matter, but unfortunately, he couldn't think of a solution on his own. He could only continue to seek help from Tianlong, "Then what about methods to stop it?"

Tianlong had said earlier that nothing in the world is unstoppable. Now that he understood the essence, Lin Moyu just needed a method.

Tianlong said, "It's simple, just destroy the origin."

Lin Moyu said, "The Black Blood Great World has placed the world origin in different spacetimes. I've already destroyed one, but for the remaining few, I'm powerless."

Tianlong laughed, "You may not have a way, but I do! I said before, if you bring back the Dragon Pearl, I can make a move for you once."

"For Antares' sake, I'll increase my promise a bit more."

With several pops, three dragon scales below Tianlong's neck flew out, transforming into three palm-sized divine dragons that landed in Lin Moyu's hand.

Tianlong said, "Take these. They contain my origin power. Each divine dragon can consume one origin crystal."

"The origin of the Black Blood Great World is dangerous. You can't touch it or absorb it."

Lin Moyu didn't stand on ceremony and accepted them straightforwardly, "Thank you, Tianlong. Besides this, are there any other methods?"

Tianlong said, "Of course there are. Don't you have the Four Battlegrounds? In each battleground, there's an origin divine beast. They were nurtured by your great world's origin power into cosmic giant beasts. They have ways to deal with the polluted blood."

Lin Moyu immediately thought of the huge Vermilion Bird in the core of the Vermilion Bird Battleground, and the egg in its belly.

It's said that the Vermilion Bird possesses the ability of nirvana. The Vermilion Bird in the battleground has existed for countless years, always maintaining the same state, showing no signs of undergoing nirvana.

Hearing Tianlong's words, Lin Moyu finally understood the origin of the Vermilion Bird, "So they're origin divine beasts nurtured by the great world. They're not dead yet?"

Tianlong said, "As long as the great world doesn't perish, they won't die. However, when the great world was severely injured, they were also heavily wounded and have been in slumber ever since."

"You can try to awaken the Vermilion Bird. It's the most special among the four origin divine beasts, possessing the ability of nirvana. Perhaps it can be revived."

"But even if it can't be revived, it doesn't matter. The origin of the Black Blood Great World is no longer sufficient. You've destroyed one portion yourself, and I'll help you deal with three more."

"Even if they can launch the Black Blood Calamity, I'm afraid it won't do much to the human race. At most, it might submerge one-third of the human race's star regions, or even less."

Tianlong spoke as if it were a matter of course, but Lin Moyu felt his scalp tingle as he listened.

One-third of the human race's star regions - how many people would that be?

Ten trillion? Or a hundred trillion?

This level of loss is something the human race cannot bear.

Lin Moyu naturally wouldn't let such a thing happen. He said to Tianlong, "I'll go back and deal with the Black Blood Great World first. Once I've taken care of them, I'll go retrieve the third Dragon Pearl for you."

Tianlong smiled and said, "Go on then. I believe you can handle it."

Lin Moyu nodded, spread his Wings of the Dead, opened a space gate, and turned to leave.

After Lin Moyu left, Tianlong muttered to himself, "Perhaps the great world can still be saved."

"But even if it perishes, so what? Even if the great world is destroyed, this old dragon won't die."

His form became illusory, coiled around the great tree, emitting light. The sound of water could be heard around him.

The projection of the boundary sea appeared in space. Tianlong's consciousness left the great world and appeared above the boundary sea.

The great world came into his view, and at the same time, he saw the Battle Realm in the distance.

The Battle Realm was drifting towards the great world. In another 1,200 years, the two would collide.

Tianlong muttered to himself, "That world looks a bit small. If it plunders the origin of the great world, it could grow quite a bit larger."

"At worst, this old dragon can move house and stay in that world."

"It's just that finding Dragon Pearls might be difficult."

"I hope that little fellow doesn't disappoint this dragon."

Tianlong had confidence in himself. Even if the great world were destroyed, he could still live well.

So there was no way Shengguang could persuade him.

Lin Moyu returned at the fastest speed. Along the way, he began to consider which origin crystals to destroy.

Should it be the two that run through the human race's star regions, or the three in the dark void?

If the Black Blood Calamity is viewed as a formation, then each origin crystal is a node of the formation.

If the appropriate nodes are destroyed, perhaps the Black Blood Calamity could be prevented.

But Lin Moyu didn't understand the formations of the Black Blood Great World. He didn't know if there were connections between the origin crystals, or if nodes were even necessary.

He thought of what Tianlong had said - the power of the Black Blood Calamity would be greatly reduced, but not eliminated.

In other words, no matter which nodes he destroyed, the Black Blood Calamity would still occur in the end.

Lin Moyu thought for a moment and knew what he should do. He couldn't gamble on probabilities, so he would deal with the three origin crystals closest to the human race.

Re-entering the dark void between the Vermilion Bird and White Tiger regions, he quickly found the location of the polluted blood.

The origin crystal was enveloped by the polluted blood, completely invisible.

Previously, using Other Shore Realm corpses to clear the way, he had blown up a large amount of polluted blood to see the origin crystal.

Lin Moyu took out one divine dragon and placed it on the polluted blood.

The two were in different spacetimes and didn't collide.

Then the divine dragon suddenly grew larger, instantly becoming over 10,000 meters long, transforming into a majestic divine dragon.

With a resounding dragon roar, the divine dragon breathed dragon breath towards the polluted blood.

The dragon breath contained a trace of Tianlong's origin power, evolving into infinite flames that ignored spacetime limitations and directly burned the polluted blood.

Lin Moyu immediately sealed off his soul. When the polluted blood burned, the stench instantly increased a hundredfold, enough to kill a Divine Lord. He couldn't withstand it at all.

The dragon breath quickly burned away the polluted blood, revealing the origin crystal.

The divine dragon roared and charged forward, swallowing the origin crystal in one bite.
