Chapter 4843: Racing Against Time
Stepping off the divine road, he arrived before the eighty first divine hall.
From past experience, this hall would surely change again, though he did not yet know how; faintly, Lin Moyu even felt a trace of anticipation.
Out of a total of ninety nine halls, he had already cleared eighty percent.
The remaining halls would be harder, but he was confident he could pass them all.
The number of his Dao heart Worlds had already reached one thousand five hundred.
His body and soul once more felt faint pressure, so Lin Moyu held back and did not continue evolving more.
His body and soul could still grow; he had seen a million worlds before, so his mere fifteen hundred were nothing worth mentioning.
At the gate of the eighty first hall, Lin Moyu stopped.
“There is no sealing formation.”
Without a sealing formation, there was no Primordial Savage Fiend inside, and thus no battle awaiting him.
Even so, he could clearly sense a very powerful array operating within the hall.
Stepping inside, Lin Moyu saw a sky full of stars, countless points of light hanging in the void.
“Truly beautiful a perfect Dao heart.”
He recognized that this patch of void was, in fact, a single Dao heart.
Every star was a Dao heart World, yet these were not real; they had been evolved from a grand formation.
The one who arranged this array was surely Nine Heavens Divine Lord.
By this method, the Divine Lord was showing him what a perfect Dao heart should look like.
Only after Lin Moyu entered did the array truly begin to operate.
Countless stars flickered and then vanished, leaving only a small portion still shining: precisely three thousand.
“Three thousand.
“That number is meaningful.”
Three thousand stars, each evolving a Dao heart World.
Lin Moyu understood the Divine Lord’s intent.
He was being told to use his Dao heart Worlds to fill the stars; each of his worlds would fill a single star.
And three thousand Dao heart Worlds should be close to his current limit perhaps even slightly beyond it.
The Divine Lord knew exactly how strong his body and soul were and where his limit lay; he clearly intended to use this method to push Lin Moyu’s Dao heart Worlds to the edge of that limit.
Originally, Lin Moyu had not wanted to go that far; he preferred to leave some margin.
But with Nine Heavens Divine Lord setting this request, he could only comply.
Dao heart radiance burst from his body, within which countless worlds rose and fell, some quickly solidifying.
Within those evolving worlds, there were rules, Great Daos, paths for cultivation and ascension.
The Dao heart Worlds transformed from illusory to real, all at a single thought.
As he evolved them, Lin Moyu sent each existing world into a star.
The void trembled and the array swayed, and suddenly he realized that some of his Dao heart Worlds could not merge into the stars.
Out of his fifteen hundred worlds, half successfully filled stars, causing them to shine with deep, unfathomable light.
But several hundred were rejected and failed to fit.
Studying these failed worlds, he swiftly identified the cause.
“So my Dao heart Worlds are not strong enough.”
All those that failed to merge were ones he had only recently evolved.
They were too weak lacking rules, not yet suitable for cultivation.
The grand array in the hall demanded extremely high standards from any Dao heart World it accepted.
Fortunately, these weak worlds held few living beings.
With a thought, he transferred those sparse populations into other, stronger worlds, then allowed the inferior Dao heart Worlds to vanish into nothing.
If they were not strong enough, there was no point in keeping them; he would simply evolve new ones.
He acted cleanly, without hesitation.
Discarding all the weak worlds and evolving stronger ones would indeed cost him time, and stronger worlds would place far more pressure on his body and soul for the same number.
But he knew this was necessary.
World after world took shape, perfected and solidified.
Everything in the Dao heart Worlds lay in his hands.
At a thought, he could let a million years pass within a world, allowing life to flourish and evolve, or he could destroy a world entirely and erase all existence.
Every aspect of the Dao heart Worlds moved with his will.
Once each world was perfectly evolved, he sent it into a waiting star.
Three thousand stars were gradually filled and lit up with brilliant radiance.
The overlapping colors were dazzling beyond words, and the entire hall was suffused with the power of heaven and earth.
Lin Moyu felt that once a Dao heart World was fully solidified, it was nearly indistinguishable from a normal world; what he was doing was akin to opening up worlds.
Over a hundred years, two thousand nine hundred stars were lit, leaving only the last hundred unfilled.
At this point, he could sense his body and soul pressed to their limit, barely able to bear the existing load.
If he failed to evolve enough worlds, the array would not be filled and he could not pass this hall.
“My body and soul should still be able to get a bit stronger.
“Even if I go beyond some limits, I should not collapse instantly.”
“Even if I do collapse, it will not be immediate.
“There will be a process and if I can fill the formation and obtain the reward before my body and soul shatter, the reward might strengthen them enough to carry more worlds.”
This was a gamble, and he knew he had no choice.
The result would be success or failure, but he could still control the process.
Condensing the final hundred Dao heart Worlds required precision.
Solidifying them was not difficult; the problem was that going beyond his limit meant his body and soul were bound to break.
That collapse would not be instant; there would be a window, and that window was his opportunity.
Evolving the worlds one by one would never work.
A brief calculation gave him the answer: he had to evolve all hundred at once.
Only then could the process be compressed to the shortest possible span, making it as safe as it could be.
He first prepared a hundred illusory Dao heart Worlds.
No matter how many illusory worlds there were, they exerted no pressure on him.
He carefully laid out rules and Great Daos within each one, then began solidifying them all at once.
A dull grunt escaped him as a massive pressure crashed down on both body and soul, and even his consciousness wavered.
With a low shout, he forcibly cleared his mind.
The hundred worlds moved from illusion to reality together, pushing his body and soul past their limit.
Cracks split his flesh, and the same fissures tore through his soul.
This was the unavoidable price of going beyond his limits.
All he could do now was focus completely, stay conscious, and solidify the worlds as fast as possible to pass this hall’s trial.
At the same time, his protective radiance fed back into his body and soul, forcibly holding them together and slowing the rate of collapse.
Lin Moyu was racing against time; every breath was priceless.
If he wasted even a single heartbeat, it might mean complete annihilation.
He was long since used to death and felt no fear before it even if this time it was the true end.
With death brushing against him, he maintained perfect clarity; his mind was sharper and stronger than ever.
His will surged like a blazing obsession, and the speed at which the hundred worlds solidified was terrifying.
Dao heart radiance enveloped him, illuminating the entire hall.
Yet even so, his body and soul continued to splinter, as though the rate of collapse might outstrip the rate of solidification.
“This will not do I will not make it.”
In the heart of the formation, he looked toward the grand array in the hall.
Two thousand nine hundred stars glittered, each containing a Dao heart World.
“I see.
“To solidify worlds, I need more than my will I need theirs.”
“Formation, activate!”
