 Chapter 2279: A Sudden Impulse, The Time Has Come

Seeing You Yi's tombstone again, Lin Moyu could now imagine the situation of the great battle back then.

The Netherworld Legion was deployed, with each legion being a battle realm like the Netherworld Swamp.

You Yi was one of them, commanding the First Army Group.

In the end, he was defeated, and even the battle realm was severely damaged, unable to fight again.

His enemies, those ape-like beings, pursued and killed into the Netherworld Swamp, until You Yi sacrificed his soul to lay down a curse, preserving the Netherworld Swamp.

Otherwise, this battle realm would likely have been completely destroyed.

Years later, Lin Moyu came here again, carefully examining the condition of the battle realm.

He now possessed a complete battle realm, and comparing the two, he could see that the Netherworld Swamp was already seven or eight-tenths destroyed.

That it could be preserved for so many years was already a miracle. The existence of the Yellow Earth Desert was due to its power leaking out.

Now standing at a higher position, he overturned his previous judgment and understood the root of the matter.

"It seems this battle realm can no longer be repaired."

"Might as well make use of the waste and refine it into a world crystal, it can still serve some purpose."

Lin Moyu muttered to himself, preparing to use the World-Burning Fire to refine the entire world.

Just as the World-Burning Fire appeared, Lin Moyu suddenly withdrew it.

He placed his hand on You Yi's tombstone, sensing an unusual aura from it.

This was a karmic thread, faint yet ever-present.

Lin Moyu took out the Karma Gourd and activated it. A thin mist sprayed out from the Karma Gourd.

In the mist, a karmic thread was revealed.

The karmic thread extended beyond the Netherworld Swamp, its destination unknown.

More mist sprayed out from the Karma Gourd, wrapping around the karmic thread, revealing the entire thread.

Lin Moyu followed the karmic thread out of the Netherworld Swamp. The thread ran through the entire swamp, flying into the depths of space.

This was one of the uses of the Karma Gourd - to reveal karma.

The karmic thread was very long, spanning thousands of light-years. Lin Moyu followed it, traversing thousands of light-years.

Finally, Lin Moyu reached the end of the karmic thread.

"A broken world!"

Lin Moyu's eyes lit up with joy. At the end of the karmic thread, he saw a broken world.

This world was hidden in darkness, its aura contained. If not for the karmic thread, Lin Moyu would have had difficulty finding it.

Without a doubt, this broken world was once the world of those ape-like beings.

This world had been destroyed in the ancient war. Although You Yi's First Army Group was defeated when the Netherworld Legion attacked them, the other army groups were not.

"This is an unexpected gain."

Although this world was broken, it could still be refined into a world crystal.

Lin Moyu stepped into it with a smile.

This was a world covered in forests, where the beings resembling apes naturally lived in such an environment.

Lin Moyu sensed an aura completely different from the great world, belonging to another world.

However, it was already riddled with holes, broken in the great war of the past.

Lin Moyu didn't bother to explore this world. The World-Burning Fire directly exploded, sweeping through the entire world.

The world rumbled and shook, the great trees in the forest collapsed amid the tremors, and cries of terror rang out.

There were still living beings in this world, but they were not strong, most not even reaching the True God realm.

The world had been beaten to ruins. Even if they survived, no powerful beings would emerge again.

It was like the great world, where Supremes could no longer appear, for the same reason.

There were living beings but no master, the origin was shattered, completely unable to resist the refinement of the World-Burning Fire.

Those remaining living beings could only die helplessly. For them, this was a natural disaster, and they could not possibly understand the nature of the World-Burning Fire.

The world continuously shrank, finally turning into a world crystal.

This was the ninth world crystal Lin Moyu had obtained. Lin Moyu didn't even know the name of this world before destroying it.

As the world was destroyed, the karmic thread also broke. Lin Moyu didn't linger, returning once again to the Netherworld Swamp.

The World-Burning Fire burned again, beginning to refine the Netherworld Swamp.

In the Yellow Earth Desert, wild sand flew and rolled.

All the monster beings inside met their final end.

The Netherworld Swamp was also boiling, countless white bones rushing out from the swamp, like warriors forming ranks in the sky.

You Yi's tombstone was also glowing brightly, a shadowy figure in armor bursting out from the tombstone, coming to the forefront of the battle formation.

You Yi's shadow was also broken, the army behind him reduced to broken bones, but their fighting spirit was still strong.

Lin Moyu bowed to You Yi's shadow, "Your battle has ended. Leave the rest to me!"

You Yi's shadow looked into the distance, finally looking up at the sky, seeing the World-Burning Fire.

He seemed to realize something and slightly nodded to Lin Moyu.

Then, at his command, all the broken bones rushed towards their own tombstones.

The broken bones crashed into the tombstones like rain, shattering to pieces.

Under the rain-like impacts, cracks appeared on the tombstone. Finally, You Yi also crashed into his own tombstone.

With a boom, the tombstone shattered. Lin Moyu's eyes suddenly narrowed.

In the center of the tombstone, a rule god stone appeared.

"For the master!"

You Yi's voice rang out in the air, the voice ethereal, his last words.

This was his war trophy, preserved until now, to be presented to his master.

Rule god stones only have two sources. One is from Heavenly Venerables; their rule worlds can produce rule god stones, though production is difficult and quantities are extremely small.

The other is from the great world, naturally produced, with even fewer in number.

Rule god stones have many uses and are extremely precious due to their scarcity.

Clearly, he had discovered this rule god stone back then and engaged in a great battle for it.

Although he was ultimately defeated, he still managed to snatch the rule god stone.

If it were before, Lin Moyu would not have been able to touch the rule god stone; touching it once would have meant death.

Now Lin Moyu was already at the Other Shore realm, with all his law powers elevated. He was now qualified to touch the rule god stone.

Rule power surged as he reached out to take the rule god stone. The entire process was smooth, without any danger.

Holding the rule god stone, Lin Moyu couldn't help but sigh, "What a pity, your master is no longer here."

You Yi was loyal enough to think of his master even at the moment of his death.

But alas, the vicissitudes of life are hard to predict.

Who could have imagined that the great world would evolve into its current state!

The Netherworld Swamp was refined after one day, disappearing from space along with the Yellow Earth Desert.

Lin Moyu obtained the tenth world crystal. All ten world crystals were wrapped by the World Tree, forming a star, shining brightly in his soul world.

Looking at the ten world crystals in his soul world, Lin Moyu suddenly had an impulse, "It's time to construct the rule world."

Once this thought arose, it began to grow rapidly, impossible to suppress.

At his current level, his soul would often produce some strange sensations, giving him premonitions about the future.

Lin Moyu's soul was extremely sensitive, his spiritual perception incredibly powerful, giving him premonitions about dangers and the future.

These premonitions were usually very accurate in most cases.

Now he had a sudden impulse, feeling that the conditions were ripe and he could now construct his rule world.

A space gate opened, and Lin Moyu stepped into it, disappearing.
