Catastrophic necromancer

Chapter 4104: Rest in Dormancy

The Lord of Curses burned his own soul, his phantom appearing atop the Curse Dao, forcibly blasting An Yuyan and the Sword Emperor away. His hatred for Lin Moyu was so deep that he was willing to burn his soul just to kill him.

Lin Moyu showed no panic. As the Curse Dao descended upon him, the Catastrophic Scepter appeared in his hand, and his body grew enormous. The Catastrophic Scepter also enlarged, and Lin Moyu swung it down like swatting a fly.

With a bang, the Curse Dao was smashed to pieces, and the Lord of Curses let out a sky shaking, miserable scream.

“What kind of treasure is that?!”

The Human Emperor and Sword Emperor had the same thought they could not imagine that Lin Moyu still had such a trump card. A treasure that could directly shatter a Great Dao had never been seen before. The Sword Emperor instinctively thought of the green robed elder, wondering, “Could this also be a treasure given by the Supreme?” In his understanding, only the Supreme could do such a thing.

The Great Dao was destroyed, but fortunately it was only a projection the true body was unharmed.

The Lord of Curses, screaming, retreated back into the blood sea. This time, he was heavily wounded, his aura dropping to less than a tenth of his peak. With only this much power left, he had no chance to escape. Even if he wanted to fight to the death, he couldn’t.

He let out a bitter laugh before falling into dormancy. “I’ve lost… lost again.”

“Billions of years ago I lost to the Beast Emperor, and now, billions of years later, I lose to you, a mere nobody.”

“But I won’t give up. When I return, I’ll take that final step and crush you to dust. If I must be dormant, you won’t have it easy. I lay a curse upon you: may you never attain the Dao!”

He uttered his final curse, his soul igniting, and the blood sea collapsed. Endless curses ignored space and formations, descending upon Lin Moyu along the laws of heaven and earth.

The Lord of Curses had always coveted Lin Moyu’s body, so he had never struck him too hard, for fear of damaging what he hoped would become his own vessel. But now, with his own dormancy inevitable, he no longer cared and would not let Lin Moyu off easily.

As the curse descended, Lin Moyu only smiled, lightly waving the Catastrophic Scepter.

“A curse is just another form of element.”

He spoke words only he could hear, and the elemental gem on the Catastrophic Scepter shone. All the curses reversed direction and were absorbed into the elemental gem, vanishing without a trace.

“You…”

The Lord of Curses was utterly despairing. Even his final curse had failed. It was as if, ever since becoming the Lord of Curses, he had been bound to failure.

Lin Moyu said, “Rest in dormancy. Perhaps you’ll have a chance to revive in the future.”

The formation continued grinding away at the blood sea. Lin Moyu delivered the final World Ending Palm, sending the Lord of Curses on his way.

The great battle was finally over. With a wave, Lin Moyu dismissed all formations. With a roar, Chengdao Cliff shook violently. Without the support of the formations, Chengdao Cliff finally collapsed. If the will of the Lord of Slaughter had remained, the cliff might have stayed intact. But now that the will had been destroyed by the Human Emperor, the collapse was inevitable. From now on, Chengdao Cliff would no longer exist on the battlefield unless the Lord of Slaughter returned to restore it himself.

Lin Moyu said, “Thank you, Human Emperor. Here is what I promised you please accept it.”

He handed the Spirit Control Technique to the Human Emperor, who checked it and, after confirming its authenticity, smiled with delight. “Daoist Lin, you keep your word. If you need anything in the future, just call on me.” With that, he turned and left, clearly eager to study the Spirit Control Technique. With his talent, he would likely master it in ten thousand years and then try to take his final step. Whether he would succeed depended on himself.

Lin Moyu looked at the Sword Emperor. “Sword Emperor, why not head to the Hengduan Mountains first? I have some things to handle here and will come find you to send you back.”

The Sword Emperor nodded, “Alright, I’ll wait for you there.” Then he turned and left. After seeing the Catastrophic Scepter, the Sword Emperor had new suspicions about Lin Moyu, and his attitude improved considerably. He suspected Lin Moyu’s relationship with the green robed elder was extraordinary otherwise, why would he risk his own Dao to help Lin Moyu block the Curse Dao at the last moment?

With the one who had always been watching him finally dealt with, Lin Moyu let out a long sigh of relief. After so much planning, he could finally relax.

Looking at the slightly pale An Yuyan, he asked, “Daoist Yuyan, are you free? How about a walk with me?”

An Yuyan smiled sweetly, “Of course.”

With the heavy burden lifted, they could finally relax a little. The two of them left Chengdao Cliff, heading toward the Ten Million Origin Mountains. Lin Moyu sighed, sharing stories with An Yuyan tales of his battles with the Lord of Curses and other matters.

He mentioned the Lord of Slaughter. When the Lord of Slaughter’s will appeared earlier, Lin Moyu was struck by how identical it was to the Woodkill Realm Lord. The Woodkill Realm Lord also cultivated the Slaughter Dao, so it was almost certain he was the reincarnation of the Lord of Slaughter.

An Yuyan was surprised. “So the Human Emperor knew the Woodkill Realm Lord was the reincarnation of the Lord of Slaughter?”

Lin Moyu replied, “I noticed the Human Emperor’s expression at the time though he didn’t show much, there was a difference, so he definitely knew. To be precise, the Human Emperor didn’t know at first, but after meeting the Woodkill Realm Lord, he figured it out and killed him.”

“From this, we can infer that the Lord of Slaughter’s dormancy back then was probably related to the Human Emperor. So the Human Emperor doesn’t want the Lord of Slaughter to return to the Dao at least not before he takes his final step.”

An Yuyan said, “I don’t know the Human Emperor well, but I can imagine what kind of person he is. He’d definitely do something like that.”

Lin Moyu said, “No need to dwell on the specifics. Everyone is just striving for their own final step whatever they do is understandable. Like the Lord of Curses, who cursed a thousand worlds and left countless beings in pain for billions of years, and didn’t care at all.”

“Karma accumulated, and this time I used it as a weapon against him.”

“Daoist Yuyan, you should understand every action has consequences, so it’s important to consider the results.”

An Yuyan clearly agreed. “Indeed. If one day the Lord of Slaughter reappears and blocks the Human Emperor’s final step, that would be normal too.”

Lin Moyu chuckled, “If that really happens, it’ll be interesting.”

Eternal existences go dormant and reincarnate, and their reincarnations may not be limited to just one. Maybe not as many as the Lord of Curses’ thirty nine avatars, but a few backup plans are normal.

…

In the Dao Lord Hall, all was silent. This battle had shattered everyone’s worldview. Although they hadn’t seen the whole process, they had seen and heard the outcome.

The Lord of Curses was forced into dormancy, and Lin Moyu had won a Great Dao Lord had defeated an Eternal. Such an unbelievable thing had really happened before their eyes.

They suddenly realized that Eternals might not be so invincible after all.
