 Chapter 3154: Has That Person Really Returned?

In the deep void, Lord Wentian slowly opened his eyes.

Before him sat several Great Dao realm powerhouses.

They were hidden in darkness, their outlines barely visible.

Someone asked, "After so many years, are you satisfied with this candidate?"

A trace of complexity appeared on Lord Wentian's face, "Hard to say."

Someone laughed, "There's something you find hard to say? Is that little fellow very special?"

Lord Wentian nodded, "Very special."

"Tell us, how special?"

Lord Wentian thought for a moment before speaking, "He's only third-level Dao Venerable, but has eighth-level Dao Venerable combat power."

Just this one sentence made the Great Dao realm beings take notice.

They had seen many geniuses who could fight above their level, including themselves. They had all once been extraordinary geniuses.

If not geniuses, how could they become Great Dao realm and survive that prehistoric great battle?

Third-level Dao Venerables who could fight fourth-level weren't rare. They had even seen those who could fight fifth-level. Even those who could fight sixth-level appeared a few times each era.

But someone like this, a third-level Dao Venerable who could fight eighth-level, that was a bit abnormal.

Their gazes lit up from the darkness, looking at Lord Wentian, indicating for him to continue.

Lord Wentian continued, "I looked at his techniques. There was one technique that made me feel strange."

"What technique?" they asked in unison.

Lord Wentian's voice became low, "I don't know what technique it was, but in that technique, the Gates of Hell appeared."

Hiss!

The words "Gates of Hell" echoed in their minds. The Great Dao realm beings all drew in sharp breaths.

Someone's voice became heavy, "Do you think that person has returned?"

Lord Wentian shook his head, "Hard to say. He only used that technique once. I didn't see it very clearly."

"If that person has really returned, it would be good for us."

"Indeed it would be good, but you and I both know how difficult it is for that person to return. It's almost impossible."

"Almost impossible doesn't mean completely impossible. There's always a glimmer of hope among the myriad realms."

"But even if that person has really returned, they might not be that person anymore. Perhaps just an inheritor."

"Let's watch. No rush, there's still time."

"There's another little fellow worth paying attention to."

The void grew darker, gradually swallowed by darkness. The Great Dao realm beings once again vanished into the darkness.

Lin Moyu vibrated his Wings of Time, flying towards the Scarlet Blood Dao.

He first passed by the Purple Lightning Dao. As he got closer to the Purple Lightning Dao, his perception of it became clearer.

The Purple Lightning Dao had indeed shattered, but it wasn't completely destroyed. There was still possibility for recovery.

Lin Moyu believed that those Great Dao realm beings outside the Origin Continent must have ways to restore the Purple Lightning Dao.

But for some reason, they hadn't done so.

As for what reason, only they knew. But it could be certain that it wasn't a small matter. Those Great Dao realm beings must be planning something.

The Purple Lightning Dao was incredibly huge. Lin Moyu estimated it wasn't much smaller than the Origin Continent.

The Dao was usually illusory, but once it manifested physically, it could be so large.

Even those fragments, the small ones had diameters of tens of thousands of li.

The larger ones had diameters of hundreds of thousands of li.

The largest could reach millions of li.

If these Dao fragments could shatter even more severely, into pieces smaller than dust, they would form Great Dao crystals.

Great Dao crystals could help him cultivate quickly.

"If I could refine these fragments, could I actively refine Great Dao crystals?"

Lin Moyu suddenly had an unorthodox idea.

But it was just a thought. He was still far too weak.

The vast power in the Dao fragments, even shattered, was incomparable to him.

It was better not to have such unrealistic thoughts.

If in the future he became Great Dao realm, it wouldn't be impossible to try.

However, by then Great Dao crystals would probably be useless.

"This Purple Lightning Dao, why does its power aura seem a bit like the Lightning Purple-Striped Tiger clan's power?"

Lin Moyu felt it was strange.

He sensed that the power aura in the Purple Lightning Dao was very similar to the Purple Striped Origin in the Lightning Purple-Striped Tiger ancestral land.

Almost subconsciously, Lin Moyu took out that Origin Purple Cloud.

As soon as the Origin Purple Cloud appeared, it immediately emitted a rumble. The previously silent Dao suddenly began to shake, along with the entire space.

Endless lightning suddenly burst forth from the shattered Dao.

Lin Moyu was startled and immediately put away the Origin Purple Cloud.

As the Origin Purple Cloud disappeared, the Purple Lightning Dao instantly calmed down.

Looking at the motionless Purple Lightning Dao, Lin Moyu muttered to himself, "It seems I wasn't wrong. The Purple Striped Origin is indeed related to the Purple Lightning Dao."

"The Purple Lightning Dao shattered here, but its origin is still intact, and no longer here."

"If one wanted to repair the Purple Lightning Dao, just bringing the Purple Striped Origin from the Lightning Purple-Striped Tiger ancestral land here could restore it considerably."

"Then reassembling those shattered fragments, perhaps the Dao could be fully restored."

"But I can't do that!"

If he restored the Purple Lightning Dao, he would be disrupting several Great Dao realm beings' plans, while also offending the entire Lightning Purple-Striped Tiger clan.

For the sake of an unnecessary Dao, this price wasn't worth it.

The Wings of Time continued to vibrate, gradually leaving the Purple Lightning Dao behind.

Getting closer to the Scarlet Blood Dao, Lin Moyu could already smell blood. At the same time, a slight feeling of disgust arose in his soul.

The disgust wasn't as strong as when facing Outer Gods. Although the Origin Continent's Dao viewed the Blood Rat Realm as enemies, they weren't as hostile as towards Outer Gods.

Even if Lin Moyu didn't take action against the Scarlet Blood Dao now, there wouldn't be any impact.

The Scarlet Blood Dao wasn't as quiet as the Purple Lightning Dao. Blood qi permeated the Dao, constantly emitting slight vibrations.

Lin Moyu activated Undead Eye from far away. In an instant, he saw countless dense soul fires.

Most of the soul fires were concentrated on the Dao, about half.

The other half were distributed on various Dao fragments.

Each fragment floated in space, extremely far apart from each other. The shortest distance was tens of thousands of li, the longest hundreds of thousands to millions of li.

Through Undead Eye, Lin Moyu could roughly see their strength.

Most blood rats were third-level Dao Venerable.

From fourth-level Dao Venerable upwards, the number decreased greatly with each level increase.

By seventh-level Dao Venerable, there were fewer than five hundred.

There were only about five eighth-level Dao Venerable blood rat generals.

But even with only five, if they attacked together, Lin Moyu knew it wouldn't be easy to withstand.

"These are living beings now. If they're living beings, there will be corpses. With corpses, things will be easier!"

A slight smile appeared at the corners of Lin Moyu's mouth. The killing intent in his heart had begun to boil.

He turned and flew towards another side.

Lin Moyu didn't directly enter the Dao, but planned to clear from the outermost area, not letting any escape.

Roughly estimating, there were tens of millions of blood rats here, far more than he had seen in the ancient battlefield.

But numbers meant nothing to Lin Moyu.

In terms of numbers, the undead army had never feared anyone.

Lin Moyu flew for a full day, arriving at the outermost area of the Scarlet Blood Dao.

There was a fragment here, not very large, about ten thousand li in diameter.

A blood rat troop was stationed on it, only a thousand in number, not very strong. Their strongest leader was only fourth-level Dao Venerable.

Lin Moyu's mind moved, and the Dragon Cavalry corps attacked. In silence, they swallowed this fragment.
