 Chapter 2243: Stealing the Bird's Egg

Lin Moyu could sense that the divine dragon contained Tianlong's origin power.

Although the origin power wasn't strong, its purity was very high, containing a vast and majestic aura.

The origin crystal of the Black Blood Great World also contained origin power, but it was more sinister and terrifying, exuding an aura of decay.

The two types of origin power were completely different and collided with each other.

The divine dragon's body rapidly expanded, starting to inflate dramatically.

Lin Moyu instinctively retreated over ten thousand miles, watching from afar.

The divine dragon didn't explode. After its body expanded to a certain degree, it suddenly shrank like a deflating balloon.

As it shrank, its body began to dissolve, finally disappearing completely.

The origin crystal of the Black Blood Great World was also gone, having perished together with the divine dragon.

"So this is the result of origin powers clashing."

Lin Moyu couldn't help but sigh. Back then, the great world had also fought like this, using origin power to resist, and ended up severely injured.

The Black Blood Great World was even more shattered, breaking apart on the spot.

It seemed like the great world had won, but the result was actually mutual destruction.

After dealing with one origin crystal, Lin Moyu headed to the next area of dark void to deal with the other two origin crystals.

Tianlong's power was very strong. Lin Moyu felt that the origin power within it was not just at the ordinary Supreme level.

He thought Tianlong might possibly be a Heavenly Sovereign, or at least at the peak of Supreme realm.

When all the Dragon Pearls were retrieved, it was hard to say how powerful Tianlong would become.

Lin Moyu worked tirelessly, resolving the origin crystals of the Black Blood Great World at the fastest speed.

In this way, the arrangements the Black Blood Great World had made over many years were directly dismantled by more than half.

Lin Moyu didn't know where the remnants of the Black Blood Great World were hiding, but he could imagine they must be furious now.

All their hard work and arrangements over so many years were so easily destroyed - how could they not be angry?

"You only have yourselves to blame for emerging earlier."

"If you hadn't shown yourselves, we might not have thought of you."

Lin Moyu muttered to himself as he returned to the human race's star region and contacted the Human Emperor Network, briefly explaining what he had done.

The Black Blood Calamity hadn't been completely resolved yet, so he still needed to continue.

The Human Emperor's voice came through, "A large number of cultivators have already headed to the Four Battlegrounds. They will search for the Black Blood Great World's location first. Be careful yourself, the Vermilion Bird is not easy to approach."

Lin Moyu said, "I'll be careful."

In the past, some people had tried to approach the Vermilion Bird, hoping to obtain the egg under its belly, but they were all burned to ashes by the Vermilion Bird's fire.

The Vermilion Bird's fire contained the origin of the great world. Not just ordinary cultivators, even Saint Lords couldn't withstand it.

Lin Moyu also didn't know if he would succeed on this trip, but he had to at least try.

With the space gate, travel became extremely convenient, much faster than transmission arrays.

In just half a day, Lin Moyu had already arrived at the core area of the Vermilion Bird Battleground.

Thinking of how he had almost gotten lost here before, Lin Moyu couldn't help but smile self-mockingly.

Looking back now, he was so weak then, but his experiences were incredibly rich.

At that time, Zhu Qiwu had taken good care of him, but now he was so busy he didn't even have a chance to have tea with him.

Since he started cultivating, even his closed-door cultivation time was carefully calculated. He truly hadn't stopped for a moment.

"Born to toil!"

With self-mockery, he arrived at the area where the Vermilion Bird was located and felt the omnipresent heat.

The Vermilion Bird's flames continuously emitted heat, hotter than even stars.

It not only scorched the flesh but also burned the soul.

There were many cosmic beasts here, mostly at the Divine Lord realm. They absorbed the heat but didn't dare to get too close.

Lin Moyu's knowledge was now different from before, far surpassing the former Zhu Qiwu.

The Vermilion Bird contained origin power, which was released along with the flames. This power was beneficial to the cosmic beasts.

Lin Moyu's arrival didn't attract anyone's attention. The cosmic beasts here had grown lazy, almost abandoning their territorial instincts. If you didn't provoke them, they wouldn't provoke you.

Lin Moyu turned into a stream of light and flew towards the Vermilion Bird.

As the distance decreased, the heat began to rise sharply.

Soon the heat exceeded the Divine Lord realm, reaching a level that could harm those in the Other Shore Realm.

The Undying Golden Body activated, covering his body surface with a layer of undying flames, with golden light flickering like stars within.

The Undying Golden Body blocked the heat, and at the same time, flames suddenly ignited outside his soul world, starting to roast his soul.

Anyone approaching the Vermilion Bird would have their soul subjected to the burning of flames.

Fortunately, Lin Moyu's soul world was strong enough to temporarily withstand the Vermilion Bird's flames without issue.

When the distance was reduced to ten thousand miles, the intensity of the flame burning increased again, reaching the Saint Lord level.

Before setting out, the Human Emperor had mentioned that the limit a Saint Lord could reach was ten thousand miles.

Going any further would be dangerous.

Lin Moyu had his rule world to maintain his form, coupled with a Saint Lord level soul. Standing here, he could barely withstand it.

As for his flesh body with the Undying Golden Body, the pressure was relatively much less.

If he continued to approach, there would indeed be danger.

From ten thousand miles away, Lin Moyu could clearly sense that the Vermilion Bird was in deep slumber.

It had no consciousness and couldn't communicate.

He tried calling out with his soul, but even the call was burned by the flames, unable to transmit over.

"I must get closer!"

Lin Moyu pondered ways in his mind.

To get closer, he would need to be at least at the half-step Supreme level, or possess origin power.

"Half-step Supreme, origin power..."

Lin Moyu had a sudden idea, "I can try the Origin Spell."

After reaching the Other Shore Realm, Lin Moyu didn't know where his limit was.

Origin Spell: Gather Power!

With a thought, an aura of origin power rose from his body.

His aura immediately awakened many cosmic beasts. One by one, they looked towards Lin Moyu, the origin power highly attractive to them.

But when they saw Lin Moyu's position clearly, they all backed down.

That was an area they couldn't approach; getting close meant death.

The fact that Lin Moyu could stand there meant his strength was terrifying.

Cosmic beasts might not have brains, but their instincts told them not to seek death.

Lin Moyu's realm began to rise rapidly, getting stronger and stronger.

From the early stage of the Other Shore Realm, he quickly rose to the middle stage, then to the late stage.

At the late stage of the Other Shore Realm, which is the Saint Lord level, one begins to construct their own rule world.

Lin Moyu didn't construct his own rule world, but his power had truly reached this level.

It was a very strange feeling. He clearly didn't have a rule world, yet possessed the power of a Saint Lord.

One could only say that there are countless paths in the world's Dao, perhaps reaching Saint Lord doesn't necessarily require a rule world.

Lin Moyu had no time to ponder this question for now. He was still continuously drawing power, raising his realm further.

Soon, he touched upon the power of an even higher level - the Supreme realm.

However, it was just initial contact, seeing some of the mysteries of the Supreme realm. This level, not quite Supreme but higher than Saint Lord, is called half-step Supreme.

The moment he reached half-step Supreme, Lin Moyu knew he had reached his limit state and couldn't improve further.

He didn't waste even 0.01 seconds, directly crossing over ten thousand miles to charge towards the Vermilion Bird.

Raging flames instantly ignited on his body, the flames scorching his flesh and soul.

Lin Moyu ignored it all, rushing to the Vermilion Bird's side in one breath.

Just as he was about to reach out and touch the Vermilion Bird, his soul sent a warning that he couldn't do this, it would be dangerous.

Lin Moyu immediately withdrew his hand and turned to look at the Vermilion Bird egg under its belly.
