Chapter 4136: Transcenders Within Heaven and Earth

Transcendence this word was not unfamiliar to Lin Moyu. In the Myriad Spirits Pavilion, he had encountered transcendents, known as Saint Spirit Realm experts. “Saint Spirit Realm” was just a local term; Lin Moyu preferred the word “transcender.” The final step for an Eternal if successful was also transcendence.

Transcendence means surpassing this world, breaking free from it, transcending on the levels of power, soul, and life none can be lacking. The filth power before him, so pure it surpassed all limits, made Lin Moyu think of transcendence. In his perception, this filth power had already surpassed the Great Dao power of this world. It carried a source like attribute, somewhat akin to chaotic energy. Lin Moyu couldn’t help but speculate: had a transcender intervened here?

If so, was it a transcender born within this world, or one from outside? If it was an internal transcender, who could it be, and how had they left their mark? If it was an outsider, how did they evade the Candle Dragon?

The tunnel he was traveling now bore clear signs of artificial construction, not a natural formation. Lin Moyu could be sure it wasn’t the work of the Beast Emperors. The tunnel contained a strange power that eternally maintained its structure, unchanged for countless years. To create such a tunnel beneath the Great Wilderness without being discovered was beyond even the Eternals.

He grew more certain of his guess this was the work of someone beyond Eternity, likely a transcender. Even if not a true transcender, it had to be a half step transcender, like the Kunlun Emperor. Following the filth power for several days, Lin Moyu moved cautiously, not daring to go too fast or touch the filth directly. Facing the unknown, he maintained utmost vigilance.

After several days, he felt himself drawing closer to his destination. On the seventh day, he finally reached the end of the tunnel a massive cavern. Here, all the filth power converged, forming a lake in the cavern’s center. Not only his own tunnel, but eight others fed into the cavern, all pouring filth power into the central lake.

The lake boiled like a cauldron, space around it twisting, countless spatial rifts opening and closing, with faint traces of chaos beyond. These rifts led beyond this world, connecting to chaos itself.

Lin Moyu’s pupils contracted sharply even he, always calm, felt his heart race. This wasn’t just boiling, but another round of refinement and purification. The power, already pure to the extreme and beyond the Great Dao, was being refined again. The resulting energy nearly exceeded the world’s limits, and the aura it emitted confirmed for Lin Moyu that it had truly surpassed the Great Dao of this world.

Purely in terms of power, this filth even surpassed his World Ending Palm. His palm gathered all Great Dao power, condensing it into Dao source energy a path of unification and integration. But this filth power was raised to the extreme, surpassing the Dao entirely. Which was stronger was hard to say, but Lin Moyu knew he could not achieve this himself.

Above the cavern, another formation was operating, channeling this thrice refined filth power upward. Lin Moyu looked but saw no filth pool at this level, even the Beast Emperors couldn’t contain such power. He examined the cavern carefully and found no other exit; this was the end. Above the cavern must be the true core of the Great Wilderness, the main node of the entire formation. Only by reaching it could he learn the truth.

But for now, he couldn’t go up. After coming so far, he was unwilling to give up. His only option was to try to modify the formation at the cavern’s top, using it as a passageway.

The formation didn’t look complex, and in fact, it wasn’t. At first, Lin Moyu thought the refining formations were natural, but the more he studied, the more he realized they were not they were artificially constructed to mimic natural formations. Lin Moyu had done similar things himself, which showed the other party’s formation skills were at least equal to his own. Judging by the formation, Lin Moyu was more than eighty percent certain it was the work of a transcender from within this world perhaps one of the eight original Great Daos from the formation of the Origin Land.

He studied the formation, searching for flaws. The transcender who built it was surely not here now otherwise, Lin Moyu would have been discovered long ago.

Years passed as he worked.

Meanwhile, in the Hengduan Mountains, the Eternals continued to watch the projected images. In the images, a great battle was raging. Tun Yuan and the Soulless Beast, after slaughtering many Dao Wild Beasts, quickly retreated and vanished. Since being outmaneuvered years ago, their partnership had only grown stronger they were now like close comrades in arms. After a few months of recovery, they struck again, no longer trying to outsmart the Beast Emperors, realizing their intellect was no greater. They began guerrilla tactics hit and run, never lingering.

This approach worked: Tun Yuan could heal by killing Dao Wild Beasts, and the Soulless Beast could recover by purifying them. Their wounds healed quickly, and the souls of the beasts they killed were all devoured, leaving the pools full of bodies but no souls to animate them. The number of Dao Wild Beasts plummeted, while Tun Yuan and the Soulless Beast grew ever stronger.

Now it was the Beast Emperors’ turn to panic. Repeated attempts to trap Tun Yuan and the Soulless Beast failed. Separated, they were weak; together, they were formidable, causing immense trouble for the Dao Wild Beasts.

Previously, the pools drained by the Soulless Beast were hard to restore. The Dao Wild Beasts helping with restoration had all been killed in ambushes, and in recent years, several more pools were purified. Sometimes, the Soulless Beast would only half purify a pool, then circle back to finish the job. As its strength grew, its purification became even faster and harder to defend against.

Now, of the 108 pools, three were dried up, and nine were purified. The Beast Emperors dared not restore them, for fear they’d just be drained again. The Eternals watching found it both amusing and exasperating these two were more troublesome than all of them combined. If things continued, the Dao Wild Beasts were in real trouble.

Deep beneath the true core of the Great Wilderness, Lin Moyu finally began to modify the formation.
