Chapter 4840: Suppression and Slaughter
The solidified Dao heart World became the core of the array, and the Nine Heavens Slaughter Formation’s power surged, more than ten times stronger than before.
Hurricane winds howled through the formation, laced with crackling thunder.
The rules and Great Daos within the Dao heart World were magnified a hundredfold by the Nine Heavens Slaughter Formation and turned into terrifying attacks.
Under that overwhelming assault, the mighty Primordial Savage Fiend was forced back again and again, instantly pushed into a disadvantage.
The raging winds shredded its armor, and countless bolts of lightning appeared out of nowhere, like electric serpents burrowing into its body to destroy it from within.
In moments, its flesh split open, black blood spraying everywhere, only to be ground into dust by the winds.
The fiend roared crazily, but its voice was swallowed by the storm; the overbearing presence it had wielded earlier was gone.
It struggled within the cyclone, but no matter how it thrashed, it could not break free.
The winds were both blade and net, binding and killing at once, leaving it no chance.
This was Lin Moyu’s first time using a solid Dao heart World as the formation core, and the array’s might exceeded all expectations.
Right now, he was using only a single Dao heart World to pin down the fiend.
If he used several more, would it not become outright crushing?
"No that is too simple."
"Though I have comprehended the Dao heart Worlds, mine have only just begun to evolve; there is still a long road before they reach their peak."
"Previously, Nine Heavens Divine Lord used powerful Dao heart Worlds to seal a fiend and still could not truly suppress it.
"There is no way this thing will be killed so easily by me."
He noticed something off.
He was not as strong as he seemed, and his opponent was not as weak as it appeared.
Instead of letting his guard down, he summoned another Dao heart World and used it as the core of a defensive formation.
If offense failed, then defense came first; he remained cautious.
"Heh.
"To think you would be so careful you really are a bit like that old bastard."
The low, shrill laughter cut through the storm, tinged with genuine surprise.
Lin Moyu’s brows knit.
Something felt wrong; the fiend’s words did not match its apparent situation.
Its voice sounded again.
"I was planning to give you a fatal blow.
"I did not expect you to sense it beforehand.
"Your sense for danger is just like the old bastard’s troublesome."
"No matter.
"You are going to die either way."
The void twisted.
The black blood that had flown from the fiend’s body, which should have been turned to dust by the Nine Heavens Slaughter Formation, suddenly reappeared.
They had not become dust at all only disguised themselves in some special way, fooling both the array and Lin Moyu.
The blood rapidly transformed, and in an instant became countless miniature fiends.
Small in size, but not in aura.
For a short time, these blood born bodies could wield nearly the same strength as the original.
In a blink, hundreds and thousands of attacks rained toward Lin Moyu, slamming into his defensive formation.
The Dao heart World serving as the core began to crack, and the array, along with the entire world, buckled under the onslaught, collapsing rapidly.
Lin Moyu’s fingers darted; several more Dao heart Worlds appeared and merged into the formation as additional foundations.
Their arrival stabilized the crumbling defense.
"The Dao heart Worlds really are powerful.
"With them, I now stand in an unshakable position."
"In that case let us see if you can be killed."
Just as the thought formed, a roar thundered through the void.
A dreadful aura materialized and swept outward in all directions.
Lin Moyu grunted, his body jolting as if struck by a hammer, staggering backward.
The fiend’s aura spiked upward, and its body swelled even larger as a second head sprouted from its shoulders.
It laughed wildly.
"This is this seat’s true form.
"I was only toying with you before."
"You really thought you could kill me with such a shabby formation?
"Even that old bastard cannot take me down so easily."
Lin Moyu could feel its combat strength surging yet again.
"So this is your so called strongest form?
"Laughable."
Unmoved, he shot back a contemptuous line, then tapped his fingers.
Several worlds unfolded and sank into the Nine Heavens Slaughter Formation.
At this moment, the Nine Heavens Slaughter Formation held one powerful Dao heart World as its core and four more as supporting foundations.
Its power multiplied by geometric leaps.
The winds grew even fiercer.
The fiend, barely finished showing off its strongest shape, was suppressed again in less than two breaths.
The Nine Heavens Slaughter Formation swept across the hall, and the blood spawned clones were once again reduced to ash.
Though they could strike with power close to the original body, their defenses were much weaker.
Lin Moyu could not be sure if they were truly gone, so, just in case, runes flowed at his fingertips while Dao heart radiance coiled around them, and another formation took shape.
Once more, he used a solid Dao heart World as the core and four more as foundations.
He named this formation the Shattered Void Array.
It could twist space and break it apart no matter how solid the local space was, it would still be affected.
If any of that blood remained, it had to be hidden in the spatial layers.
Even if the Shattered Void Array could not annihilate it outright, it could force it out.
The array roared to life, and space began to twist and contort as if countless giant hands were kneading it.
The divine hall’s space was a world unto itself, extremely solid; the Shattered Void Array could not break it, only warp it.
Soon, fine threads of blood emerged from the void.
The fiend’s blood had indeed survived, lurking in the depths of space like parasites, hard to detect and harder to kill.
Now that they had surfaced, Lin Moyu’s will moved, and the Shattered Void Array tore at the hidden layers.
Though space itself did not shatter, the parasite like blood was wiped out completely.
A shriek echoed through the hall, and the fiend roared in fury.
Eyes bloomed all over its body, each one glaring at Lin Moyu with murderous rage.
It struggled madly, its immense power making the Nine Heavens Slaughter Formation shudder.
Inside the array, all five Dao heart Worlds groaned under the strain.
Dao heart radiance surged from Lin Moyu, stabilizing the Nine Heavens Slaughter Formation.
"There is no need to look at me like that.
"You can barely protect yourself why bother with those clones?"
"Unless..."
A realization flashed in his mind.
The fiend was terrifyingly strong and had survived here for countless years; its intelligence clearly was not low.
It almost certainly had its share of hidden tricks.
Moreover, no matter how badly wounded it was, it healed in an instant.
Every time it slammed into the Nine Heavens Slaughter Formation, it inflicted enormous strain on the array and the Dao heart Worlds within.
"This thing is playing a war of attrition.
"When I forced out the bloodlines hidden in the surrounding void, it panicked its killing intent spiked."
"Those bloodlines are its accumulated strength.
"As long as enough remains, it can keep restoring itself until I die of exhaustion."
"It has probably fought Nine Heavens Divine Lord before and knows both the strengths and weaknesses of Dao heart arrays.
"It understands that it cannot break the formation directly, so it chose this approach instead."
"In that case..."
Cold resolve sharpened his gaze.
Ten Dao heart Worlds shot forth, each one acting as the core of a Shattered Void Array.
Weaker than before, but more than enough to scour out the hidden blood.
At the same time, two more Dao heart Worlds merged into the Nine Heavens Slaughter Formation.
Killing intent burned in Lin Moyu’s heart.
"Suppress and kill."
