Dongfang Mo blinked, at a loss for words.
“What, are you afraid of being labeled a bully?” Lu Yun saw through his thoughts with a single glance.
“They’re all juniors and filled with youthful vigor. Their future is bright and limitless, it would be a pity to just kill them like that…” Dongfang Mo coughed dryly.
“Your junior brother, moi, is less than a thousand years old. Do you see me filled with youthful vigor?” Lu Yun asked with a half smile.
“You’re less than a thousand years old??” Dongfang Mo’s eyes shot wide open with incredulity. “What is your true cultivation level, junior brother?”
“My realm is Nihil World Sovereign, but my cultivation is only minor World Manifest. I’m a half step away from major World Manifest though,” Lu Yun responded.
“Monster!” Dongfang Mo grumbled. “No wonder your expression looked so weird when you called me senior brother.
“Since junior brother has expressed these sentiments, I will not go against the grain for the sake of being different. I will end what they’ve started. All of us are here to create a world of sequence anyway, so fighting over this world is inevitable.
“Since they destroy the foundations of my immortal dao, I will also destroy theirs!”
Myriadsea World was a world of pure sequence—various sequences intersected with each other. Infusion of great dao, any dao, would shape it into a corresponding world of sequence. There’d originally been no life here, but various powerhouses had transplanted life so it could reproduce and affect the sequences in the world with their inherent great dao.
Cultivators of other daos caused internal havoc with immortal dao, opportunistically suppressing and killing immortal dao geniuses. This was to sever the dao’s foundations and weaken it. Lu Yun was correct—continued yielding would ultimately bring about the death of immortal dao. There would be no other outcome.
If his speculations were correct, spirit dao had appeared after the death of immortal dao in Myriadsea World during the thirty-three loops.
……
“It’s wonderful that senior brother has made up his mind,” Lu Yun chuckled. He couldn’t kill the geniuses of other daos as they were possibly stronger than him. Dongfang Mo would have to kill them himself.
Myriadsea World was so vast and experts were too numerous to be counted. His Truecloud Nation was just fringe territory of an extremely impoverished region.
“But senior brother, I have a favor to ask of you,” Lu Yun asked awkwardly. “I am gravely injured and my primary body can’t leave the altar. Too much restrains me, so can you lend me one hundred and eight seeds?”
“No matter, I have plenty of these seeds.” Dongfang Mo waved a thousand seeds of the Immortal Myriadtree to Lu Yun’s replica. He’d collected countless numbers of them after all this time, but hadn’t dared to release them all at once to create multiple worlds of immortals.
Allowing the immortal dao to grow so quickly would result in backlash from the other daos. But he’d thought through things now. If he couldn’t establish a world of immortal dao sequence here, no one else would have Myriadsea World!
He would cut off all means of retreat and conduct a glorious undertaking!
Lu Yun raised cupped fists at Dongfang Mo and dismissed his golden warrior replica.
……
“Wait,” Dongfang Mo called out after Lu Yun left. Sweat beaded his forehead. “If I can see formula dao and sense how powerful it is, so can those other old fellows. With their shameless tendencies, they’ll rush to kill my junior brother!
“No!” He surged to his feet and prepared to rush off to Immortal Nation.
“Where is fellow daoist going?” came a merry voice as an elder in white robes arrived in the area. This was a world created by the crown of the Immortal Myriadtree, a most important place to immortal dao. However, the elder easily accessed the zone.
“So it’s Brother Tiger,” Dongfang Mo smiled after an imperceptible pause. “My junior brother has come from the worlds beyond to see me and I’m afraid that certain people will be moving against him. Please come with me to help my junior brother.”
“So he’s your junior brother,” the elder gently shook his head. “You mustn’t go, you can’t go. You need to just stay here.”
“I see.” Dongfang Mo nodded and materialized an ax in his hand without further ado, smashing it into the branches next to him.
“Hahahaha!” the monster spirit elder roared with laughter. “Dongfang Mo, are you threatening me with self harm?”
“No,” Dongfang Mo shook his head. “Since there is no hope for my immortal dao, I might as well destroy it.”
He swung again and chopped off a thick branch. When it separated from the main tree, it instantly vaporized into nothing. His ax then thudded into the tree’s trunk, aiming to chop down the tree that supported hundreds of worlds of immortals.
“Oh?” smiled the elder. “Has fellow daoist made up your mind to leave Myriadsea World?”
“No,” Dongfang Mo shook his head solemnly. “After cutting down the Immortal Myriadtree, I will immediately travel to Monster Spirit Valley and chop up that lotus of yours, then eliminate all of the monster spirits in Myriadsea World.”
“How dare you?!” shouted the elder. “Are you not afraid that I’ll overturn your Ruina Immortal Nation and destroy your worlds and immortals?!”
“There’s no need for you to do so. I’ll kill all of the immortals myself and then sever monster spirit dao and raze your monster spirits.”
Kaboom!
Another branch separated from the trunk and immediately detonated a close-by world of immortals that’d just formed.
“W-what?? Wait, stop, stop! We can talk this out, let’s talk about it!” The elder was the beholder of monster spirit dao and a powerhouse who’d created all of the monster spirit sequences in Myriadsea World. If Dongfang Mo made good on his threats, all of his efforts since time immemorial would be wasted.
“What is there to talk about? We’re meant to fight each other since we’ve all come here. I can’t fight all of you combined, so we might as well die together!”
BOOM!!
This time, Dongfang Mo’s strike cut down half of the tree.
The elder hastily clutched his hand and begged, “How about you and I go to Truecloud Nation right now and save your junior brother?” He seemed to be truly frightened out of his wits.
Dongfang Mo stopped with a sneer. “Why do you think I’d believe you? I’ve already given up, so all of you can save yourselves the trouble. After I destroy immortal dao myself, I’ll destroy the rest of you, starting with monster spirit dao!
“You can try to mob me, but as long as I’m alive, I can take any of you with me in self-detonation!” A crazed light glinted in Dongfang Mo’s eyes.
Fear finally knocked on the elder’s heart. He’d been pretending before, wanting to lure Dongfang Mo into his trap. But now, he really was afraid.

Of course Lu Yun’s senior brother turns out to be as crazy as him.
