Chapter 3788: Getting Annoyed
As the red light dissipated, Redstone Emperor departed, and Little Python flew back from afar.
Earlier, it had been forcibly driven away by Redstone Emperor, who didn't allow it to approach.
If not for Lin Moyu's presence, a second-tier soul virtual beast like Little Python might have been killed with a single slap by Redstone Emperor.
To emperors, virtual beasts were insignificant creatures that could be killed at will they held no rights or protection.
Little Python was clever enough to stay far away when ordered, waiting patiently in the distance.
Upon returning, Little Python asked softly, "Master, has Redstone Emperor left?"
Lin Moyu nodded. "Do you have any thoughts about him?"
Little Python shook its head quickly. "No thoughts none at all."
Lin Moyu replied, "Good. Let's stick to the original route and leave Redstone Great Spirit Domain as quickly as possible."
He didn't share his conversation with Redstone Emperor with Little Python it wasn't necessary for it to know. The less it knew, the safer it would be.
Little Python understood its limits and refrained from asking further questions despite its curiosity.
---
Reflecting on his exchange with Redstone Emperor, Lin Moyu thought about soul pearls. He felt fortunate that he hadn't refined them earlier avoiding potential harm.
Soul pearls being described as "poisonous" was clearly an indication of their unusual nature.
The trading market established by Human Sovereign and World Tree Emperor involved releasing large quantities of soul pearls surely with ulterior motives.
---
Half a day later, Lin Moyu and Little Python finally exited Redstone Great Spirit Domain entering the vast vacuum zone beyond.
Both let out a sigh of relief simultaneously.
Little Python remarked, "We're finally out I don't know why, but I always felt stifled in Redstone Great Spirit Domain."
Lin Moyu chuckled. "You actually noticed the pressure?"
Little Python explained, "I don't fully understand but I could feel something uncomfortable."
Lin Moyu clarified, "That wasn't just discomfort it was genuine pressure. Redstone Emperor is merging Small Spirit Domains creating invisible forces that converge toward the center of the domain that's what caused your feeling of oppression."
Little Python shook its head. "I don't know why he's doing that."
Lin Moyu teased, "Want me to send you back to ask him directly?"
Terrified, Little Python shook its head frantically. "No need no need I'd rather live longer!"
---
Glancing at the Undying Flame in his left hand, Lin Moyu saw that the sentient material burning within it was finally about to melt completely.
"Let's move forward a bit we need space for the upcoming Great Dao tribulation," he said.
Little Python obeyed flying swiftly away from Redstone Great Spirit Domain.
---
As the sentient material fully melted, it reassembled within the Undying Flame and Soul Void began rippling like ocean waves.
Lin Moyu smiled knowingly. "It really is connected to space."
The sentient material had formed a virtual-illusory realm resembling an egg-shaped spatial labyrinth which Lin Moyu had suspected was related to Space Great Dao.
Now his theory was confirmed.
---
As spatial distortions intensified, large cracks began appearing and energy from reality surged through them.
Tribulation clouds descended suddenly as an invisible force swept across Soul Void restoring calm instantly.
Thunder roared and before the elemental lich could fully form a terrifying power descended absorbing it into the dimensional rift.
This power was irresistible and Lin Moyu felt insignificant before it a true manifestation of Great Dao strength.
---
A fissure appeared in Soul Void and those familiar eyes returned.
They glanced at Lin Moyu briefly their gaze tinged with annoyance.
Lin Moyu understood they were irritated by him and warning him simultaneously.
Summoning reverse-heaven-level elemental liches repeatedly had triggered tribulations over and over forcing this entity to intervene constantly without rest.
Apologizing with a smile, Lin Moyu signaled Little Python to retreat further to ensure safety during what promised to be an unusually intense tribulation.
---
The elemental lich hadn't fully formed before being drawn into the tribulation clouds which churned violently with lightning snakes and thunderclaps.
The entire space flickered with thunderous light as bolts struck relentlessly at the incomplete elemental lich within.
Watching nervously even Lin Moyu couldn't help but worry for its survival.
---
Suddenly, Little Python exclaimed, "Master! Look!"
Lin Moyu looked up to see a vague shadow emerging above the tribulation clouds.
Though blurry the shadow became clearer with each lightning strike.
It resembled an oversized doll and Lin Moyu gasped inwardly: "It's the elemental lich it's using the tribulation to temper itself."
Shivering slightly, Little Python muttered, "What kind of monster is this?"
Lin Moyu smacked its head lightly. "It's not a monster it's my summoned lich."
Realizing its mistake, Little Python quickly corrected itself: "Not a monster it's your reverse-heaven creation a lich worthy of you!"
---
Under relentless lightning strikes the elemental lich's shadow projected across space its massive doll-like form rapidly solidifying.
Its semi-real body appeared crystalline as if containing infinite dimensions within.
Far from being destroyed the lightning seemed to aid its completion.
---
After lightning came fire the tribulation flames engulfed the elemental lich transforming its semi-real body into transparent crystal-like perfection.
Within this crystalline form a faint trace of Space Great Dao emerged a fundamental difference from Lin Moyu's projected Dao understanding.
While Lin Moyu grasped only projections the elemental lich replicated Space Great Dao itself a distinction as vast as heaven and earth.
---
Following fire came annihilation winds which swept through Soul Void with destructive force.
Sensing danger Lin Moyu and Little Python retreated even further to avoid harm.
Meanwhile the elemental lich stood unmoved amidst these winds.
Closer inspection revealed spatial cracks forming around it which absorbed these winds entirely before releasing them harmlessly behind it.
---
Witnessing annihilation winds previously during Thunder Dao Person's trials and later in Beast Abyss Lin Moyu noted how much stronger they were now.
As these winds reached their peak they gradually weakened and Lin Moyu felt uneasy again:
"Retreat further," he urged instinctively.
Despite being millions of miles away from the elemental lich he still sensed danger looming.
He suspected annihilation winds weren't the final stage.
---
Moments later the winds subsided and the third tribulation phase concluded successfully.
Suddenly the sound of water echoed as endless streams emerged from within dark tribulation clouds.
The fourth phase began a water-based tribulation known as Soul-Corroding Water.
Recognizing this ominous liquid immediately Lin Moyu whispered grimly: "Soul-Corroding Water."
Created by combining soul, water, and curse Daos it was an extremely potent and malicious substance once refined by three powerful cultivators working together.
But here it wasn't artificially crafted it emerged naturally through Dao evolution making it far deadlier.
Seeing this fourth phase unfold any relief Lin Moyu had felt vanished entirely.
