Chapter 4128: Returning to a Filth Pool
"The grand drama begins!"
Lin Moyu smiled lightly, flicking his finger as a massive light screen appeared in the sky. During his three years in the Great Wilderness, he had set up several formations that could transmit real time information about the region. Combined with his undead servants scattered throughout, Lin Moyu could monitor everything happening in the Great Wilderness at any time.
Dealing with the Great Wilderness wasn't particularly difficult for him. Compared to the demon dragon races in the small world or the hundred clans in the great world, the Great Wilderness wasn't that challenging. The wild beasts were formidable, but his cultivation and power had grown so much that he no longer feared them.
Old Yin head and An Yuyan were already prepared, waiting to watch the show. The Lord of Power brought food and wine to join them. In several of the previously empty Eternal palaces, powerful auras began to appear. Three Eternals had returned after receiving the Lord of Power's message, though a few still couldn't be reached for now.
Now, with seven Eternals stationed in the Hengduan Mountains, combined with the mountain's formations, they could easily resist an equal number of Beast Emperors even a new beast army of tens of millions posed no threat. Back during the Great Catastrophe, the formations weren't as strong, but there were also seven Eternals present. At that time, facing seven Beast Emperors and a billion strong beast army, they were in dire straits. The Spirit Demon Clan had even threatened to side with the Beast Emperors, which would have spelled extinction for the cultivators. They had no choice but to compromise, and 621 Great Dao Lords perished a huge loss, as any one of them might have become an Eternal. It had taken all these years for the cultivators to barely recover.
If such a disaster happened again, it wouldn't be a repeat because now they had Lin Moyu. His personal strength and the formations he'd built gave them confidence. The Hengduan Mountains' formations were now so terrifying that even the Eternals dared not wander recklessly; if activated, even they would be in trouble.
On the projected screen, the wild beasts howled in unison, their roars echoing across the world, audible even in the distant Hengduan Mountains. The beasts were welcoming the return of their emperors. Each beast had its own filth pool, but all obeyed any Beast Emperor. The nine Beast Emperors were united, with no gaps between them. They had created the mutated beast together, but it was not a true Beast Emperor and lacked their command ability. Even at its strongest, the mutated beast could only muster a beast tide of ten million far less than the emperors.
On the screen, the nine Beast Emperors roared together, their voices scattering the Dao Cloud. Within the cloud, a strange beast appeared: the mutated beast, now fuller bodied, with flesh on its once skinny frame. Its four claws, similar to the Beast Emperors', still seemed oversized compared to its body, but smaller than before.
An Yuyan noticed, "Its claws seem to have shrunk a bit."
Lin Moyu replied, "Yes, they're still big, but much smaller than before. It's evolving. Once its claws match its body, its evolution will be complete." The mutated beast awoke to the chorus of beasts, responded with a soft cry, then went back to sleep. Strange power swirled around it, drawn from the Dao Cloud it could absorb the chaos within. As Lin Moyu had said, it was evolving, which explained its years of inactivity. Once its evolution finished, the wild beasts would launch their assault on the Origin Ancestral Land.
After their roar, the nine Beast Emperors moved out, the screen shifting to follow them Lin Moyu had set up enough formations to monitor nearly every corner. An Yuyan whispered, "Why didn't we destroy the royal pools while the Beast Emperors were gone?"
Lin Moyu answered, "I thought of that too. I spent three years in the Great Wilderness, fought the beasts, and entered the royal pools three times." He recounted some of his experiences. No one knew what he did during those years, and he hadn't explained after returning. An Yuyan had wanted to go, but Lin Moyu refused, which left her a bit unhappy. But he had tried everything she'd thought of and more.
In those three years, he didn't just set up surveillance formations; he fought many wild beasts and infiltrated the royal pools, trying to destroy the Beast Emperor bodies inside to prevent their revival. But he failed. The power in a royal pool was far greater than in ordinary pools; even the World Ending Palm was greatly weakened there. Not only did he fail to destroy the bodies, he was almost corrupted during their rebirth. After several attempts, he gave up but managed to set up a formation inside the royal pool. The formation wouldn't last long under the pool's filth, but it was enough for his purposes.
Now, as the Beast Emperors revived and left, Lin Moyu activated the formation. The screen showed the inside of a royal pool: after a Beast Emperor revived, the pool immediately began nurturing a new Beast Emperor body. The process was very fast at the current rate, a new body would be ready in less than ten days.
An Yuyan listened quietly, then said, "You did all that?"
Lin Moyu replied, "You have to try every idea. But now I know the Great Wilderness well it's not dangerous for me anymore." An Yuyan clearly didn't quite believe him, but said nothing more.
Lin Moyu continued, "Although a royal pool only nurtures one Beast Emperor body at a time, the speed is very fast never more than ten days. Truly killing a Beast Emperor is hard; the best way is to kill him within ten days of revival, before his soul can return to the pool. Otherwise, it takes a long time for him to revive again. That's all we know for now."
Old Yin head chuckled, "Knowing this much is already impressive. We've been here for years and don't know half as much as you."
The Lord of Power drank and said, "Knowing is one thing, but we still can't kill a Beast Emperor. If we can just drive them off, that's good enough." His words were honest, tinged with helplessness even Eternals had things they couldn't do.
Lin Moyu said, "Just because we couldn't before doesn't mean we never will. For now, let's watch the show."
On the screen, the nine Beast Emperors gathered and led the beast army away. They first arrived at a filth pool that the Soulless Beast had purified it looked completely different. The nine Beast Emperors, clearly angry, roared and plunged into the pool, churning the water violently. Under their assault, the pool changed the purification vanished, and it reverted to a filth pool, once again nurturing wild beasts.
An Yuyan murmured, "So it can be changed back after all."
Lin Moyu was also surprised he hadn't expected this.
