Chapter 4045: The World of Wild Beasts
"They're much stronger than in the Soul Void."
Lin Moyu compared the Dao Wild Beasts here to those in the Soul Void. Ordinary Dao Wild Beasts here were indeed a bit stronger than Great Dao Lords, but not by much. Usually, four or five Great Dao Lords could surround and kill a Dao Wild Beast. But according to Shengxin, Dao Wild Beasts here were only slightly weaker than Great Dao Lords, and it would take at least a hundred Great Dao Lords to kill one. Compared to those in the Soul Void, they were much stronger.
As for Dao Wild Beast Kings, in the Soul Void, you didn't even need a Great Dao Lord to act just a few top tier World Lords, like World Lord Mu Sha, who had the support of world power, could surround and kill a Dao Wild Beast King. World Lords like Mu Sha were not actually a match for a Great Dao Lord in a direct fight. But here, the Dao Wild Beast Kings were even stronger than Great Dao Lords; it would take several Great Dao Lords to bring one down.
Shengxin explained, "Whether a Dao Wild Beast has a physical body makes a huge difference in strength, and only here on the Heaven and Earth Battlefield can they display their full power. There have been cases where Dao Wild Beasts entered a world, but once they leave the Origin Ancestral Land, their strength drops dramatically."
Lin Moyu said, "In my world, a senior once entered a wasteland in the world's mist and encountered a Dao Wild Beast."
"I'm curious since there are Great Dao Lords guarding here, why can't the Dao Wild Beasts escape?"
Shengxin corrected him, "It's not that they escape, but that they're exiled. There was once a massive riot here Dao Wild Beasts invaded en masse, and something happened on the inner battlefield. That battle brought more than a hundred Dao Wild Beast Kings and even a Wild Beast Emperor. We fought desperately and almost couldn't hold out. Fortunately, Lord Candle Dragon intervened just in time, barely holding the line. The void shattered, and some Dao Wild Beasts were exiled by Lord Candle Dragon, leaving the Origin Ancestral Land, and their whereabouts became unknown. One Origin Mountain was exiled along with them, and after leaving the Heaven and Earth Battlefield, it probably became a continent. The senior you mentioned likely encountered those exiled beasts."
Lin Moyu wasn't surprised Shengxin knew about the Candle Dragon after all, as a Great Dao Lord who spent half her time in the Origin Ancestral Land, she'd naturally know of the Candle Dragon's existence. What surprised him was that the Candle Dragon actually intervened.
"The Candle Dragon intervened? If he's that powerful, why do Great Dao Lords still need to guard this place? With his strength, couldn't he handle it alone?"
Shengxin shook her head. "Lord Candle Dragon is strong, but he has rules to follow. That time, he was forced to act, and after that, he slept for ten thousand years."
"No wonder!" Lin Moyu realized the cost one intervention meant ten thousand years of slumber, so he couldn't act often.
Lin Moyu continued, "What happened on the eternal side of the inner battlefield?"
Shengxin shook her head. "I don't really know. Lord Candle Dragon said there was an accident, but didn't give details. Later, another eternal being arrived and forced the Wild Beast Emperor back; otherwise, we couldn't have held out. The Wild Beast Emperor has eternal level combat power not much weaker, but still something Great Dao Lords can't withstand."
As they spoke, they left the plain and reached the very edge of the formation, three million li from the Dao Lord Hall. Beyond the formation was a world of dazzling light, appearing beautiful but hiding chaos within.
Lin Moyu felt a strong urge to leave the formation and explore, as if the ultimate truth of this world lay out there.
Shengxin bowed toward the formation. "Grandpa Battle Sovereign, Shengxin is here to see you!"
As she spoke, the formation glowed, and a phantom appeared a formation spirit?
Lin Moyu hadn't expected this formation to have a spirit, but upon closer inspection, realized it wasn't an ordinary formation spirit. The phantom solidified into an old man with white hair but a vigorous spirit, clad in heavy armor and carrying a massive blade an extraordinary sight.
Shengxin introduced, "This is Grandpa Battle Sovereign. Grandpa, this is Lin Moyu, a newly advanced Great Dao Lord."
The Battle Sovereign looked at Lin Moyu, eyes full of approval. "Such a young Great Dao Lord I've never seen one before. Young man, you have a bright future."
Lin Moyu replied humbly, "You flatter me, senior."
Shengxin added, "Lin Moyu isn't just young he's also very strong. He could defeat Great Dao Lords even when he was still just a Dao Lord."
The Battle Sovereign raised his eyebrows, even more pleased. "Able to fight above your level? Excellent! We need more talents like you."
Shengxin asked, "Can we go outside now?"
The Battle Sovereign glanced beyond the formation, his eyes flashing. "There are two hours until the next filth tide. You can stay outside for at most one hour."
Shengxin replied, "Alright, we won't go far, just look around and come right back."
The Battle Sovereign said, "I'll open the formation, but you must return on time don't make Grandpa worry."
Shengxin smiled sweetly, "Don't worry, Grandpa, I'll be back soon."
At this moment, Shengxin seemed like a well behaved granddaughter, nothing like a Great Dao Lord. The Battle Sovereign looked at her with the affection of a grandfather for his granddaughter. Lin Moyu found it odd to see a Great Dao Lord act so gently, and guessed their relationship was special.
The Battle Sovereign opened the formation, revealing a passage. To Lin Moyu, this formation was nothing he could leave anytime if he wanted. But as a newcomer, he didn't want to break the rules.
Shengxin led Lin Moyu through the passage and out of the formation. The Battle Sovereign repeated his instructions, and Shengxin agreed to everything.
Once outside, the passage closed behind them, and Lin Moyu felt as if he'd entered another world. It was hard to believe this was still part of the Origin Ancestral Land. Beyond the formation, everything was dazzling and colorful, but inside, it was all gray and gloomy, with thick clouds overhead. The light was real, but all in the clouds, which flashed with multicolored lightning, painting the world in shifting hues.
Here, Lin Moyu sensed an intense concentration of Great Dao power, as if standing right next to a Great Dao. But the power was chaotic and filthy. This was where all the filth of the Great Daos gathered a massive Dao garbage dump, filled with the impurities of countless Daos. Because of this, the Dao power here was thick but dirty and unusable for cultivation. This was why Dao Wild Beasts, creatures full of curses and filth, were born here.
Shengxin said, "Daoist Lin, take a good look. We can't go far, and must return in an hour."
Lin Moyu asked, "How did you know I wanted to come out here?"
Shengxin replied, "Every new Great Dao Lord is curious about the Dao Wild Beasts' territory and wants to come see it."
Lin Moyu asked, "The Battle Sovereign doesn't seem like an ordinary formation spirit."
A trace of sadness flashed in Shengxin's eyes. "He was my grandfather. Later, he became the formation spirit."
