Chapter 4849: Ancient Origins
Nine Heavens Divine Lord’s phantom manifested beside Lin Moyu.
"This space is called the Origin Realm."
"Origin Realm?"
Lin Moyu’s heart gave a tremor.
"Why does this place feel so familiar to ?"
The mont he heard those three words, it was as though so buried mory had been stirred.
The mory seed to co from the deepest instincts of his soul, or perhaps from so indescribable, boundless void.
For a while, his thoughts grew slightly chaotic.
The Divine Lord’s voice continued.
"This is the beginning of everything.
"The source and perhaps the end as well."
As he spoke, a faint point of light flickered into existence within the violet mist.
It brightened from dim to blindingly bright in half a breath, quickly becoming impossible to look at directly.
The light exploded.
The purple mist rolled and boiled in the blast, breaking into clumps large and small that all began to change, as if nurturing sothing within.
Soon, countless beings were born from the mist.
They ca in every conceivable form beasts, plants, spirits, and humans.
Without exception, they were unimaginably powerful.
They began fighting over the remaining violet mist, plunging into brutal slaughter.
The mist was finite.
They seized the unclaid portion and, by killing each other, could devour their opponents’ share as well.
The carnage was unspeakably intense.
Everyone fought as though staking their life, and there seed to be no end.
Watching as an observer, Lin Moyu muttered, "This is like raising Gu."
No one answered him.
The slaughter continued for a very long ti before finally reaching its end.
In the end, only two figures remained.
Having slain enough rivals and devoured enough purple mist, both had beco millions of tis stronger than when they were born.
Their strength was perfectly matched; neither could gain an edge.
They fought a great battle that lasted ages and still could not decide a winner.
Neither could kill the other.
"Primordial Savage.
"Nine Heavens Divine Lord."
Lin Moyu recognized them.
One was the Primordial Savage the ancestor of all such fiends.
The other was Nine Heavens Divine Lord.
Once the stalemate beca clear, they stopped their battle, but there was no reconciliation.
Both began seeking ways to kill the other.
The Primordial Savage employed so unknown thod and began splitting off descendants.
The rate of fission was terrifying, and in short order it possessed numberless offspring.
Thus, the Primordial Savage beca the Savage Ancestor the progenitor of all Primordial Savage Fiends.
Though the descendants were not as powerful as the original, the ancestor could gather their power, growing even stronger.
In this way, its strength would surpass that of the Divine Lord.
But Nine Heavens Divine Lord did not remain idle.
With a wave of his hand, his Dao heart light burned brilliantly.
Within that light, world after world unfolded, and array after array appeared and vanished.
Another war erupted.
Both sides unleashed their full might, and the battle again deadlocked.
One battle after another followed, without respite.
During these lulls, Lin Moyu often saw the Divine Lord sigh.
Whenever they paused, a faint pain would surface in his eyes.
Lin Moyu felt a strange resonance in his own heart.
He could sense that Nine Heavens Divine Lord was grieving for the beings within his Dao heart Worlds.
He used those worlds to weave his formations.
With every battle, the worlds were damaged, and the living beings within suffered catastrophe, dying in droves.
If the Dao heart Worlds lacked living beings, they could never reach their peak, and he could not contend with the Savage Ancestor.
So he had no choice but to continually evolve stronger worlds, even as he watched them collapse and their life be extinguished.
Gradually, his pain deepened.
A hint of guilt seed to flicker in him.
"This is going to give rise to a heart devil."
Lin Moyu frowned.
The Divine Lord’s Dao heart was perfect.
No external blow could shake it, so in theory he should never have developed a heart devil.
And yet here it was a heart devil born from within the Dao heart itself, from the Divine Lord’s own being.
A heart devil had to be resolved, and the longer it lingered, the worse it would beco.
Lin Moyu was sure that Nine Heavens Divine Lord had noticed his own problem and would inevitably take action.
Sure enough, the Divine Lord’s gaze hardened, filled with killing intent.
Not only killing intent, but ruthless resolve.
With soone like him, once he chose to be ruthless, it was never confined to his enemies he could be just as ruthless to himself.
He charged the Savage Ancestor in a frenzy, fighting as though throwing his life away.
This battle was entirely different from the ones before.
The Divine Lord no longer defended, only attacked, holding nothing back, like a man seeking mutual destruction.
The Savage Ancestor was forced onto the defensive, quickly falling behind.
Dao heart Worlds rose and fell throughout the Origin Realm; arrays crisscrossed the heavens.
Countless Primordial Savages were cut down more than half were slaughtered.
Nine Heavens Divine Lord no longer cared about the cost.
Previously, he had grieved for the innurable lives in his worlds, but this ti he seed to have made his decision: one of them had to die.
"Throwing himself into death to find new life.
"How ruthless.
"If the guess is right, he intends to use this slaughter to cut away his heart devil."
From the outside, Lin Moyu could see it clearly.
The only part he did not understand was this: even with such a formation, killing the Savage Ancestor outright would be extrely hard.
Let alone killing it would not be easy even to seal him.
"Their strength is too close.
"Neither can easily deal with the other.
"What will Nine Heavens Divine Lord do?"
The Divine Lord expanded his array to cover the entire Origin Realm and suddenly roared.
A million Dao heart Worlds erupted into flas.
Together with them, his Dao heart, his soul, and his body all began to burn.
"Sacrifice my body!
"Sacrifice my soul!
"Sacrifice my Dao heart!
"Sacrifice the billions of lives in my worlds!"
"Cut!"
He sacrificed everything his body, his soul, his Dao heart, and the countless beings within his worlds.
With that sacrifice, he gained the power needed to strike down the Savage Ancestor.
The resulting attack nearly shattered the Origin Realm itself.
Using all that he was, he forced the Primordial Savage to fall.
"You cannot kill .
"You will regret this!"
"You cannot kill .
"You will regret this!"
The Savage Ancestor’s screams echoed through the Origin Realm, reverberating for a million years.
Ti washes away all things.
At last, the screams faded.
With both of them dead, the violet mist reappeared.
Everything they had was born from the Origin Realm and now returned to it.
From whence it ca, to that it returned.
But Lin Moyu knew this was not the end.
Otherwise, there would be no Nine Heavens Divine Lord standing here now.
After who knew how many ages, a spark of light flared within the mist.
A tiny soul pierced through space and ti, arriving abruptly.
It began to absorb the purple mist and quickly grew stronger.
Realization struck Lin Moyu.
"So that is how it is!"
He understood.
This was Nine Heavens Divine Lord the reborn wisp of his soul.
More precisely, this was the Divine Lord’s heart devil.
After his heart devil had ford, he had cut it away, sealed it, and rged a sliver of his conscious soul into it, sending both into another tiline.
Then he sacrificed everything and perished with the Savage Ancestor, while that sliver of consciousness survived alongside the heart devil in a different ti.
After countless ages, that fragnt of soul returned together with the heart devil to the normal flow of ti and once more stepped into the Origin Realm.
