Chapter 3875: When the Snipe and the Clam Fight
The firebirds looked fierce, but in Lin Moyu's eyes, they were nothing special. With a casual wave, the power of death swept up the flames, transforming into a gray dragon that devoured all the incoming firebirds. After one strike, the sea of fire quieted down and stopped attacking Lin Moyu, as if acknowledging his presence.
Lin Moyu examined this sea of fire. The area was vast, burning brightly within the world mist, driving away the surrounding fog. The fire spread to both sides, stretching as far as the eye could see. Rising above the sea of fire, he finally saw the full picture: the flames formed a massive ring, and at the center of the ring was a world. The world's barrier reflected multicolored light within the flames, and fire constantly seeped into the barrier.
"So this is refining a world?"
In Lin Moyu's eyes, the sea of fire was refining an entire world. This world felt lifeless to him; there were likely few, if any, living beings inside. Lin Moyu approached the world's barrier and touched it, carefully sensing the situation within. The world was extremely quiet and just as hot inside. The refining process was nearly complete this world was finished.
Suddenly, a message came memories from the world itself. Lin Moyu saw a world that wasn't strong, with only three Dao Lords inside. One day, they faced a terrifying enemy: a giant bird cloaked in flames. It killed the three Dao Lords, then enveloped the entire world in fire. The world became a sea of fire, its living beings nearly wiped out. The flames then began to erode the world, intent on refining it. This world was still in its spirit nurturing stage; its world will had not awakened, so there would be no Grudge Fruit of All Living Beings, allowing the attacker to act without restraint. The world's beings were nearly all dead, and the world fell silent, awaiting destruction. The refining process was long, lasting over ten thousand years.
Lin Moyu returned to the flames, feeling their pulsing. This fire wasn't from the Fire Great Dao, but a special flame similar to the World Burning Fire, though much weaker.
"At this rate, it'll take at least another five thousand years to finish refining this world. The efficiency is really low."
"The struggles between worlds are truly chaotic. The weak get bullied no doubt about it."
A world with only three Dao Lords was far too weak in Lin Moyu's eyes; being preyed upon was natural. The world is just that cruel.
He didn't plan to stay long and was about to leave when he suddenly turned to look into the distance. A firebird was speeding toward him from afar billions of miles away, but already locked onto him.
Lin Moyu narrowed his eyes. "Cause and effect."
He noticed lines of cause and effect emerging from his body, extending toward the firebird. This meant there was karmic entanglement between him and the firebird. But this was his first time seeing it, so why the karmic tie?
Lin Moyu only had a superficial grasp of the Cause and Effect Great Dao; now, relying on the Myriad Worlds' Cause and Effect Dao, he could see a little. The Cause and Effect Great Dao doesn't lie if it wasn't him, then the Origin Continent must have karma with it.
Searching his memories, Lin Moyu recalled the Origin Catastrophe, when the Heavenly God Realm and Black Blood Realm invaded and brought their minions. He found a moment in his memories: a group of strong beings from the Blazing Fire Realm, adept at controlling flames, had once turned large swathes of the Origin Continent into scorched earth, burning countless lives. But there weren't many from the Blazing Fire Realm, and they were quickly wiped out, so there wasn't much record of them.
"That must be it this firebird is from the Blazing Fire Realm, which is why there's karma."
"In that case, let's resolve this karma now, and test the strength of the undead servants. The World Burning Fire can also have a real feast."
As Lin Moyu thought this, the surrounding sea of fire boiled, the temperature soaring as if its master had arrived, and the fire's power surged dramatically. Pillars of fire shot up, surrounding Lin Moyu. The distant giant firebird was rapidly approaching, its Origin Dao Lord aura sweeping through the void.
Lin Moyu was unconcerned. In the midst of the fire sea, his body glowed faintly the Domain passive spell was active, radiating a subtle origin aura. At this moment, Lin Moyu was like a black hole, absorbing all attacks. The damage was distributed across the Myriad Worlds' Great Daos and billions of undead servants, so each one bore only a tiny fraction. The terrifying heat of the fire sea was nothing to Lin Moyu not even enough to warm his hands.
He was about to act when the void twisted and a giant net suddenly appeared, flashing across the void and instantly ensnaring the firebird. The firebird shrieked, and the net tightened rapidly, binding it firmly. No matter how the firebird struggled, the net only grew tighter.
This firebird was an Origin Dao Lord, yet it was caught by a net.
Lin Moyu observed and realized this net wasn't a magical treasure but a spell. The net contained a power that could corrode the firebird's flames.
"This isn't a treasure it's a spell!"
He quickly looked up and, activating the Eye of the Undead, saw a dazzling soul flame. A hoarse laugh echoed in the void, and a giant spider appeared in his vision. The spider was over ten thousand miles across, and it was the one that had spun the net to trap the firebird.
Lin Moyu was slightly startled the giant spider had clearly been hiding here for a long time, and he hadn't noticed at all. It was here to hunt the firebird, and Lin Moyu, an unremarkable bystander, was simply ignored by the spider.
The firebird's cries grew more desperate and shrill, its flames growing more vivid. The net binding it began to weaken as it struggled to break free. The giant spider spat more webs, layering them to restrain the firebird. The firebird's flames turned from bright red to deep crimson, growing even stronger, and the surrounding fire sea suddenly flowed toward the firebird like a river. In an instant, the flames encircling the world vanished, all absorbed by the firebird.
With the flames reclaimed, the firebird's aura peaked, its deep red fire nearly black, its power now several times greater than before. The spiderwebs were rapidly burning away, and the firebird stared at the spider with hateful eyes.
Boom!
The spiderwebs shattered, and the firebird, shrieking in fury, charged at the spider. The spider raised its legs, its whole body emitting a chilling black light, and the two clashed.
"That must be its natal fire. When refining a world, the firebird's own power is weakened."
"The spider's webs forced the firebird to stop refining the world and defend itself, ruining thousands of years of effort."
"The spider's goal isn't just to ruin the firebird's refinement, but to kill the firebird as well."
Lin Moyu quickly assessed the situation, then pulled out some sunflower seeds and sat back to watch. A battle between Origin Dao Lords was unfolding before his eyes how could he miss such a spectacle?
As for why they were fighting, it didn't matter. He'd deal with it after the fight.
When the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman profits so there was no need for him to rush.
