Chapter 4114: I Respect Your Choice
From Burial Dao Valley to the War Emperor's location was a million li, yet Lin Moyu extended his formation to within a thousand li of the battlefield in less than ten days. He cast divine runes on himself and An Yuyan, concealing them both. His formation then spread to the left and right, running almost parallel to the formation cluster around the War Emperor.
By doing this, Lin Moyu essentially added another layer outside the existing formation cluster. The original cluster was the result of tens of thousands of years of effort by the Great Dao Lords. It had weathered countless storms, patched and reinforced until it became stable and powerful. There were over ten thousand formations, large and small, layered together in a complex web. But in Lin Moyu's eyes, this cluster was crude almost laughable. The skills of those who set it up varied; the formations' strength and coordination were inconsistent, with many flaws. Its only advantage was that it was easy to repair, so even if the Formation Dao Lord was absent, others could maintain it.
Lin Moyu's new formation was far stronger and more profound. If damaged, it would be difficult for anyone but himself even the Formation Dao Lord to repair. Each formation cluster had its own advantages, but Lin Moyu considered his the clear winner. After all, one shouldn't settle for less just because something is difficult; that would kill ambition.
An Yuyan watched as Lin Moyu set up formation after formation, witnessing each one take shape from nothing. During this time, a filth tide arrived, followed by a wave of Dao Wild Beasts. Lin Moyu didn't activate his formation, acting as if it didn't exist. The original battlefield's Dao Lords repelled the beast tide, which was much smaller than before a result of the Soulless Beast's work.
Three months later, Lin Moyu's formation was complete: a massive network stretching millions of li. Once activated, it would be like a high wall, blocking the Dao Wild Beasts. The Dao Lords' defensive line was pushed forward by a thousand li. But Lin Moyu hadn't done this for the Dao Lords, but for the War Emperor.
His new formation, while structurally different, intentionally mimicked some aspects of the old one for the War Emperor's sake.
"It's time to act!" Lin Moyu said quietly, heading to where the Lord of Curses was hiding.
He called out, "Senior War Emperor, please open the door. I need to come in."
A great door slowly opened, and the War Emperor's voice came from within: "Come in." He didn't show himself both Lin Moyu and An Yuyan knew that if he did, Lin Moyu would spot the flaw. They entered, but didn't leave the formation. Lin Moyu took out the Origin Pill, crushed it with his soul power, and scattered it into the formation. Most of it landed where the Lord of Curses' sub soul was hidden.
The War Emperor's voice, now filled with anger, rang out: "What are you doing!"
He was forced to appear not by choice, but by the Origin Pill. Even as a formation spirit, he couldn't resist the power of yin yang origin and heaven's fortune.
The Origin Pill, refined by the Candle Dragon, turned to powder and stuck to the War Emperor, making him glow. Lin Moyu smiled, "Should I call you War Emperor, or Lord of Curses?"
The War Emperor's expression changed dramatically. "What nonsense are you talking!"
His tone was stern, but Lin Moyu and An Yuyan could hear the shock and fear beneath it.
Lin Moyu said, "Stop pretending. I've come this far do you really think you can keep up the act?"
The War Emperor fell silent; with Lin Moyu's words, there was no point pretending. His expression changed, the kindly look vanishing, replaced by a ferocious face and eyes glowing red.
Lin Moyu said, "That's more like it. The mighty Lord of Curses, parasitizing a formation spirit how shameful."
The Lord of Curses snorted, "How did you find me?"
Lin Moyu smiled, "I have my ways, no need to explain. The real question is: what are you going to do? You have two options: first, go into dormancy voluntarily I promise to spare you, so you'll have a chance to return someday. That's the path of life. Second, resist, and I'll force you into dormancy then, once I become Eternal, I'll find a way to shatter your Curse Dao and kill you for good. Choose."
He gave the Lord of Curses a final ultimatum.
The Lord of Curses stared coldly at Lin Moyu, sneering as he raised his hand. Instantly, the formation showed the Dao Lord Hall, where the Dao Lords were unaware of the danger and went about their business drinking tea, discussing Dao, playing chess, or cultivating. The hall and its surroundings were covered in formations.
Another image appeared: the formation clusters on the battlefield.
The Lord of Curses said, "All these formations are under my control. If you dare lay a hand on me, I'll detonate them all. The Dao Lords may not die, but they'll be gravely injured, and countless formations will be destroyed. Can you bear that responsibility?"
He showed another scene: Saint Heart refining pills, surrounded by eight cauldrons, each with its own formation.
The Lord of Curses sneered, "If I blow those formations, your little girlfriend will die."
At this, the Lord of Curses' expression changed. His body twisted, and he growled, "Get back! It's not your turn to speak." Parasitizing the War Emperor, he suppressed the War Emperor's will, but when Saint Heart was threatened, the War Emperor struggled fiercely. Unfortunately, he couldn't win, and the Lord of Curses instantly regained control. But by doing this, he revealed his choice to Lin Moyu he was using the battlefield formations and Saint Heart as hostages.
That sealed his fate.
"In that case !"
With a thought, Lin Moyu activated the Origin Pill. Brilliant light erupted from the Lord of Curses, freezing him in place. Not just his body his will was sealed by the Origin Pill, severing his link to the formation.
"You… what have you done!" The Lord of Curses was finally afraid he never imagined Lin Moyu had so many tricks. To sever a formation spirit from its formation he'd never even heard of such a thing.
Lin Moyu smiled, "I respect your choice."
The Origin Pill shone even brighter, and the powder on the sub soul and the formation spirit resonated, linking together. The Origin Pill's powder drew the Lord of Curses' will out of the War Emperor and sent it back to the soul void.
