Chapter 3931: Half a Step Forward?
A vast and boundless power surged forth, and Lin Moyu felt as if he had merged with this entire world; within the vacuum zone, all the myriad Great Daos were under his control. He had changed from a mere observer into a controller, and this shift in identity left Lin Moyu astonished.
"Is this eternity?"
The thought flashed through his mind, but immediately, a more definite realization surged up from deep within his soul, shattering his earlier notion.
He murmured to himself, "No, this is not eternity."
The Great Dao Beast King appeared before him, and without a second thought, Lin Moyu punched out. Myriad Daos rang in unison, and all the dazzling Great Daos in the vacuum zone erupted with this punch. The power of the Daos converged, forming an unimaginably terrifying fist far larger than anything before.
Ten million miles? Hundreds of millions? Far more than that. The fist was at least ten billion miles across, and as it blasted out, it seemed capable of obliterating everything.
Before this punch, the mighty Great Dao Beast King seemed utterly insignificant. Under the punch, the powerful beast king was annihilated, its soul reduced to dust and vanishing without a trace. The punch swept through the vacuum, shaking the very fabric of space, as if the Daos themselves were cheering.
Wherever the punch passed, everything was reversed.
With this single punch, all hundred billion undead servants were wiped out none survived.
Lin Moyu was stunned by his own punch; he couldn't describe it in words. The reach of the fist seemed endless.
"This definitely isn't eternity…"
Again, this thought surfaced from deep within his soul, and immediately afterward, his soul shattered. He couldn't withstand the backlash from that punch, and his soul quickly disintegrated into dust, drifting into the void.
A flash of purple light gathered the dust back together, and Lin Moyu's soul reformed within the purple light. But as soon as it was reborn, it shattered again. The backlash still lingered, refusing to dissipate.
The cycle of rebirth continued again and again, five times in all until the backlash was finally exhausted.
After reviving, Lin Moyu immediately took out a few spirit flowers. Little Python beneath him was on the verge of death, its body mostly destroyed, hanging on by a thread. It hadn't taken the full force of the punch just a tiny aftershock so surviving was already lucky.
He wrapped Little Python in spirit flowers to heal it.
Lin Moyu was speechless: his hundred billion undead army had been wiped out just like that. Normally, undead servants could be revived, but under that punch, even revival failed. That punch erased them completely, leaving no chance, even nullifying the usual spell effects.
Of the nine hundred billion undead servants he'd brought, he lost one hundred billion at once one ninth of his forces. Lin Moyu felt heartache, but also a surge of excitement.
"What was that realm just now? How could that punch be so powerful?"
"A Great Dao Beast King, on par with a Great Dao Lord, was instantly killed."
"So, even someone like the God of Light could be killed in a single blow. Even an eternal like the Human Sovereign would have trouble blocking it."
"That realm just now wasn't eternity so what was it?"
If it wasn't eternity, it had to be something higher the level that eternals have always pursued, the 'final step.'
But thinking about it, it seemed impossible.
Lin Moyu recalled the experience in detail, not missing a single point. At that moment, he had gathered the power of all his undead servants and Elemental Liches, and even drew upon a force from afar power from the myriad Daos in the Myriad Worlds, which crossed time and space in an instant.
The "Gather Power" origin secret art could not only gather summoned beings, but also the Myriad Worlds themselves, treating them as part of him.
Lin Moyu realized that this was possible because many Great Daos in the Myriad Worlds had merged with the Elemental Liches. The three forces combined, pushing his power to the utmost.
When he hit the bottleneck, it really felt like he broke through some barrier, and everything changed. In that instant, he truly transformed from observer to controller.
At that moment, he clearly felt the Daos roaring, as if celebrating for him. But the barrier wasn't completely broken.
Looking back, Lin Moyu realized he had only broken through halfway.
He hadn't fully shattered the barrier. If that's the case…
Lin Moyu came to a conclusion: at that moment, he was in the same realm as the owner of the Ferry of Calamity half a step beyond the final threshold.
As the Discernment Beast (Tianting Beast) had said, among all eternals in the world, only that one had managed to take half a step on the path to the final breakthrough. All the others either stagnated or failed.
The Human Sovereign had struggled for countless years but never managed even half a step. The Lord of Curses had tried and failed, falling silent for countless years in hopes of trying again.
The final step was incredibly difficult, yet Lin Moyu, with a single origin secret art, managed to take half a step. Although his soul ultimately collapsed from the backlash, at least he had glimpsed the storm beyond that threshold.
Such an insight was extremely precious, and if there's a first time, there can be a second.
A bold idea arose in Lin Moyu's heart: he wanted to experience that level again, to enjoy the feeling of all Daos resonating and everything under his control.
"The power and wonder of origin secret arts I've only used the tip of the iceberg."
"Origin secret arts aren't just for attacking; they can be used in other ways."
"If I'm right, this is an opportunity that no one else could have."
"If my undead servants increased severalfold, and the Myriad Worlds grew stronger, could I break through the barrier completely and instantly step into that level, wielding its power?"
In theory, it should be possible. Even if it only lasted an instant, as just now, being able to unleash a single strike at that level would be enough to kill even eternals.
They say eternals can't die, only fall into dormancy. Lin Moyu used to think so too, but now he had another idea.
If he could enter the Origin Land and destroy the Daos within, could eternals die as well?
There are no absolutes in the world; with enough strength, the impossible becomes possible.
That's how miracles are made!
Lin Moyu smiled his idea was bold, but absolutely worth trying. Maybe, just maybe, it could really work. If he could do that, what would eternals amount to?
He set aside these thoughts and looked ahead.
Where his punch had passed, the vacuum zone was still recovering. That punch had drained all the Daos from a hundred billion miles of vacuum, and some of the power lingered, so it would take time for the Daos to recover.
In the void, a brilliant light shone.
Born from the convergence of Dao impurities, Great Dao Beasts have the filthiest bodies and the purest souls. After the Great Dao Beast King's death, it left behind a beautiful clump of beast essence.
