Chapter 4109: The Sub Soul
With An Yuyan, Lin Moyu retraced his steps through the Land of Severed Daos, twisting and turning until they returned to the space where the Lord of Fate resided. Seeing the dense cracks, An Yuyan was clearly nervous she hadn't expected such a special space to exist within the Land of Severed Daos. Yet, she saw no one there.
Suddenly, Lin Moyu pulled her into a dark corner and whispered, "Conceal all your aura."
An Yuyan complied at once, and the two of them seemed to vanish; unless someone came very close, they would not be noticed.
Under An Yuyan's gaze, a crack suddenly widened and glowed, and waves of strange energy surged out. The aura grew more and more powerful, filling the entire space with heavy pressure. An Yuyan could hear her own heartbeat; for some reason, she felt nervous an emotion she hadn't experienced in countless years since her early cultivation days. Here, with Daos suppressed and power difficult to use, she felt as if she'd returned to the beginning of her path, and the emotion surfaced instinctively.
As she watched, a giant bird burst from the crack, letting out a sharp, grating cry. An Yuyan went on high alert she could sense the bird's terrifying power, and even outside the Land of Severed Daos, it seemed capable of killing her. Her heart raced and her breathing grew heavy. Such a thing could only happen here.
Lin Moyu signaled with his eyes not to worry, and under his gaze, An Yuyan gradually calmed down. After a while, another crack erupted with a powerful suction, trying to pull the bird away. The bird resisted for a while, but was eventually sucked away, leaving behind a mass of chaotic energy.
Lin Moyu whispered, "It's over."
An Yuyan exhaled deeply, visibly relaxing. "What was that?"
"Chaos creature," Lin Moyu replied.
An Yuyan gasped, "A chaos creature!"
She knew of chaos creatures, but had never seen one this was her first time, and she truly felt their power. She asked, "Why do chaos creatures come here?"
Lin Moyu explained, "This is where heaven and earth absorb chaotic power. Chaos creatures are just sucked in; they can't stay in this world and are sent back." With that, he stepped out of the darkness, and An Yuyan hurried to follow she dared not get lost here, as returning would be difficult.
Lin Moyu navigated the cracks and soon reached the area where the Lord of Fate resided. The Lord of Fate sat with eyes closed, seemingly comprehending something, and Lin Moyu did not disturb him. A peculiar aura flowed around the Lord of Fate, different from Great Dao power seemingly even higher. Lin Moyu smiled; the Lord of Fate had clearly made progress on his final step.
An Yuyan saw the Lord of Fate and was surprised. "There's someone here?"
She could tell he was an Eternal, but couldn't match him to any Dao. Here, with Daos suppressed, the Lord of Fate had little Dao aura.
Lin Moyu introduced him: "This is the Lord of Fate."
An Yuyan's expression shifted. "So it's him."
The Fate Dao was one of the original eight Great Daos, and the Lord of Fate was among the earliest to attain the Dao. He had gone dormant over his final step, and even now his Dao was still dormant.
Lin Moyu said, "The Lord of Fate has long since revived, but here, Daos are suppressed, so he seems dormant."
An Yuyan understood. "No wonder you had me check the Curse Dao earlier so Daos can't fully reveal if one is dormant. You came to the Lord of Fate to use the Fate Dao to find the Lord of Curses?"
Lin Moyu nodded. "Yes, though I don't know if he'll help."
At that moment, the Lord of Fate's aura fluctuated, and a voice sounded: "Daoist Lin, you seek the Lord of Curses?"
"Yes," Lin Moyu replied. "He escaped, and I can't find him with the Cause and Effect Dao, so I came to trouble you. May I ask, what is your relationship with him?"
The Lord of Fate answered calmly, "We are both among the original eight Great Daos, but his origin differs from ours he is not a true cultivator. He attained the Dao from the first drop of filthy blood in the world, evolving it into the Sea of Filthy Blood. His body and soul are filthy; we all kept our distance, lest his Dao taint us. Do you have a grudge with him?"
Lin Moyu was relieved by this answer. "After reviving, he schemed to take my body, but I turned the tables. We fought a great battle not long ago, and I destroyed his thirty nine avatars, but he used some method to escape. Now he's hiding, and I fear he'll retaliate against my friends, so I want to find him and force him into dormancy." He briefly recounted the events.
The Lord of Fate studied Lin Moyu. In this special environment, he couldn't see what was special about Lin Moyu's body. "It must be related to your Immortality Great Dao. His true body is the Sea of Filthy Blood, so he has many avatars scattered everywhere. For you to destroy thirty nine of them is already impressive." He glanced at An Yuyan, assuming Lin Moyu had succeeded with her help as the Lord of Cause and Effect.
He continued, "But you surely don't know that, besides the thirty nine blood sea avatars, he also has a sub soul."
"He attained the Dao from the first drop of filthy blood. When the filthy blood evolved into the Sea of Filthy Blood, a tiny bit was left, forming his sub soul. The sub soul is useless most of the time, but if his main soul is defeated and forced into dormancy, the sub soul is activated, regathers the blood energy of heaven and earth, and re evolves the Sea of Filthy Blood to revive him. I don't know how long the process takes, but it shouldn't be too long."
"Your worry is justified he is vengeful and has no bottom line. At his peak, he might care about his reputation, but now…"
"So I must trouble you," Lin Moyu said.
From the Lord of Fate's tone, Lin Moyu could tell he truly had the power to find the Lord of Curses. Of all Eternals, the two who understood everything in the world best were the Lord of Time and the Lord of Fate. The Lord of Time knows the past; the Lord of Fate knows the future. The Lord of Time is still influenced by the Spirit of Time, so the Lord of Fate may know even more.
The Lord of Fate said, "I'll do my best to find him. If I fail, don't blame me."
Lin Moyu smiled, "You jest. This is my request success or failure, I'll always remember your help."
The Lord of Fate chuckled, "Then let's begin."
His aura slowly rose, as if opening a special space. In the Origin Land, the dormant Fate Dao suddenly began to boil.
