Chapter 142: Unity of Myriad Suns
Chapter 142: Unity of Myriad Suns (Subscription Requested)
The consciousness of the Red Kunlun Star Master was vast and immense. In just an instant, he had watched all of Lin Yuan's challenge videos from the recent days.
"My disciple..."
The Red Kunlun Star Master was filled with surprise and doubt.
"Has he started the Soul Fusion Transformation?"
The others, including the twelve peak masters, assumed that Lin Yuan's rapid cultivation progress was due to the guidance of the Red Kunlun Star Master.
However, the Red Kunlun Star Master himself knew the truth. He had barely provided any guidance to Lin Yuan.
When he learned that Lin Yuan had entered the Fifth Stage, the Red Kunlun Star Master abandoned the initial cultivation plan he had devised for Lin Yuan.
He had intended to first show Lin Yuan a 'Rule Crystal' and let him gain some insights before deciding on the next course of action.
But now?
Before he could even get feedback from Lin Yuan about his insights into the 'Rule Crystal', the young man had already completed the Fifth Stage and was about to undergo the Soul Fusion Transformation to step into the Sixth Stage?
"Eighty percent, no... at least ninety percent, or even ninety-five percent."
Although the Red Kunlun Star Master was observing Lin Yuan through the virtual world, with his keen eyes, he could roughly gauge Lin Yuan's current level.
By watching Lin Yuan's battles with other evolvers at the same level, he could almost certainly conclude that Lin Yuan's Soul Fusion Transformation had reached at least ninety-five percent completion.
"You seem to be in a good mood lately."
As the Red Kunlun Star Master sank into his thoughts, the man in white robes sitting opposite him, playing chess, glanced at him and said in surprise.
Knowing the Red Kunlun Star Master as he did, he expected the latter to gloat and mock him after learning that his junior disciple had surpassed his own.
"Hahahahaha!"
"My disciple is far beyond comparison with yours. Has he come crying to you? Hahahahaha!"
The Red Kunlun Star Master caught on and burst into laughter.
Although he knew that he might have underestimated Lin Yuan's true talent once again, he didn't care. It was a rare opportunity to get one up on his friend, and he wasn't going to let it pass.
"You old fox, I thought you had changed."
The man in white robes sighed in exasperation. However, he, too, had watched the battle videos of his disciple against Lin Yuan. There was no denying that the Red Kunlun Star Master's disciple completely outclassed his own.
"Where exactly did you find such an outstanding disciple in the universe?"
The man in white robes couldn't help but ask.
The Red Kunlun lineage's thirteen peak masters publicly claimed that the Red Kunlun Star Master had discovered Lin Yuan while traveling through the universe and visiting a certain planet.
Of course, this explanation wasn't very convincing, but since it came from the Red Kunlun Star Master himself, the man in white robes had no choice but to play along and ask further.
"That's a secret," the Red Kunlun Star Master said mysteriously with a smile. "Once my disciple steps into the Sixth Stage, you'll know."
"You old fox, still keeping secrets from me."
The man in white robes teased him and didn't press the matter further.
He was well aware that, many years ago, a new disciple of the Red Kunlun Star Master had been assassinated by a foreign race because his identity had been exposed.
Because of this incident, the Red Kunlun Star Master had descended upon the battlefield of the foreign race and unleashed a frenzy of slaughter before returning to the Red Kunlun main star.
Virtual World.
Colosseum Region.
Every time Lin Yuan's daily challenge time drew near, countless viewers would arrive early, filled with anticipation for the upcoming battle.
It was not just because Lin Yuan possessed the backing of being one of the thirteen peak masters of the Red Kunlun lineage, but also because in the dozens and hundreds of previous battles, he had displayed a dominating strength that attracted a large fan base.
These fans were not limited to the Red Kunlun Star Domain and its surrounding star domains but came from other distant regions of human civilization.
Therefore, the title of being one of the thirteen peak masters held little weight for this group of fans. What they valued more was Lin Yuan's battle style and strength.
Private Box.
Within one of the private boxes, Hei Yu Mo, the Seventh Stage evolver known as the 'Stabilizing Needle of the Black Prison Family', sat in his seat.
Beside Hei Yu Mo were other figures, apparently his friends.
"What do you think? The strength of the Thirteenth Peak Master of the Red Kunlun Star Domain is quite something, isn't it?" Hei Yu Mo said casually.
"Indeed, we've long heard that the Red Kunlun Star Master is excellent at guiding disciples, and now it seems his reputation is well-deserved," the first figure sitting to Hei Yu Mo's right nodded and said.
"Have you noticed that the Thirteenth Peak Master's strength improves with each battle on the Colosseum? He's using his fellow evolvers of the same level as stepping stones to ascend to the Sixth Stage," the figure on his left said.
He had been intently watching every battle of the Thirteenth Peak Master.
"If not for this, why would so many people come to watch? The popularity of the Thirteenth Peak Master's Colosseum exceeds that of the Sixth Stage battles by far," Hei Yu Mo said, pausing for a moment before continuing.
"Throughout history, the evolvers of our human civilization who have been able to gain insights and break through their limits through continuous battles have all been exceptionally brilliant top geniuses."
"The potential of the Thirteenth Peak Master is truly immeasurable."
Hei Yu Mo spoke, and the others agreed.
"Indeed."
"But what about the future?"
"Who can know?"
The figures beside him exchanged glances.
Potential and strength were two different concepts.
They could recognize the Thirteenth Peak Master's potential, but so could others, including the hostile foreign races.
"The future..."
"Indeed, no one knows what the future holds."
"Even the predictions of the top 'Divination' masters are just imaginary futures that are not set in stone."
Hei Yu Mo lowered his head, gazing down at the Colosseum below, lost in thought.
Central Continent Estate, Outside the Main Building.
Lin Yuan was having dinner with his parents and sister, a rare occasion for them to be together.
With Lin Yuan's current strength, he had long reached the stage of fasting, where he could constantly devour the energy present in the universe to replenish his consumption.
However, there was no need to give up the custom of dinner. Dinner was not just about eating; it was also about spending time with family and fostering emotional connections.
"I'm full."
Lin Yuan's sister, Lin Yi, quickly finished the food in her bowl, stood up, and was about to rush back to her room.
"Hold on."
Their mother, Lu Qiong, frowned.
"Why are you in such a hurry to finish your dinner? What are you planning to do?"
Lu Qiong asked directly.
"I want to watch the Thirteenth Peak Master's Colosseum battle," Lin Yi said defiantly.
Although she was only an unranked evolver, she had been granted access to the virtual world and could enter the Colosseum region to watch evolvers battle each other.
And recently, the hottest topic in the Red Kunlun Star Domain's Colosseum region was the Thirteenth Peak Master personally taking on various evolvers in challenges.
"The Thirteenth Peak Master, huh?"
Lu Qiong nodded, not paying much attention to it.
She, too, had heard of the Thirteenth Peak Master, the pride of the entire Red Kunlun Star Domain.
"Brother, I've asked you several times already. Let's go watch the Thirteenth Peak Master's battle together," Lin Yi said to Lin Yuan.
"The Thirteenth Peak Master is amazing. You should learn from him; maybe you'll become stronger, too.
Lin Yi looked at Lin Yuan and couldn't help but speak up, "Brother, the Thirteenth Peak Master is so amazing. Why aren't you interested in him at all?"
She was one of the earliest 'die-hard fans' of the Thirteenth Peak Master, often promoting him to her friends. However, when it came to persuading her brother, Lin Yuan, to join her fandom, she faced obstacles.
Lin Yi noticed that her brother seemed utterly disinterested in the Thirteenth Peak Master, which left her feeling a little disappointed. While Lin Yuan was indeed an evolutionary genius, a talent that only appeared once in several hundred millennia in the Canglan Star, his brilliance paled in comparison to others.
Compared to ordinary people, Lin Yuan was undoubtedly a genius. But when measured against the Thirteenth Peak Master, he was as ordinary as they came.
Despite her brother's lack of enthusiasm, Lin Yi persisted in her efforts. She often invited Lin Yuan to join her in watching the Thirteenth Peak Master's arena matches. Yet, every time a match was about to start, Lin Yuan would make excuses to leave, as if deliberately going against her wishes.
"I have to meet a good friend. You go ahead," Lin Yuan casually brushed her off with another excuse.
"Okay," Lin Yi pouted in disappointment, but her spirits quickly lifted at the thought of the upcoming match. Soon, she would get to see the Thirteenth Peak Master in action once more.
Virtual World, Arena Region.
Lin Yuan appeared in the arena, and immediately, deafening cheers erupted from all directions.
"Why are there so many people this time?" Lin Yuan was surprised, as the number of spectators far exceeded those of his previous matches.
"Could it be because of my opponent this time?" Lin Yuan wondered, guessing the reason for the increased attention.
"The Holy Son of the Myriad Suns Lineage?" Lin Yuan glanced at the information about his opponent.
The Myriad Suns Lineage was the absolute ruler of the Myriad Suns Star Domain, and their influence and power even surpassed that of the Red Kunlun Lineage slightly. As for the Holy Son of the Myriad Suns, his status and position were no less than that of Lin Yuan himself.
It was said that this Holy Son possessed a unique body constitution and was being meticulously groomed by the Myriad Suns Star Master. His foundation was unimaginably robust and profound.
In the arena, space distorted, and Lin Yuan found himself on a desolate planet. Across from him appeared a figure dressed in a long robe, looking ordinary.
"I never expected that before I enter the Sixth Stage, I would have the opportunity to face an evolver from the Red Kunlun Lineage," the Holy Son of the Myriad Suns said with a smile, exuding a warm aura.
The Myriad Suns Lineage was known for their extreme fire-based abilities, while the Red Kunlun Lineage also favored fire but focused more on space manipulation. The Red Kunlun Star Master's true form, the Star Sea Kun Peng, was a space rule lifeform, and thus, the Red Kunlun Star Master excelled in both fire and space manipulation.
"I feel the same," Lin Yuan replied gravely.
Although they had not yet clashed, Lin Yuan sensed a subtle pressure from the Holy Son of the Myriad Suns, something he had not experienced with his previous opponents.
"Since that's the case..." The Holy Son of the Myriad Suns retracted his smile. "...let's begin."
As soon as he finished speaking, two terrifying auras collided.
Ten minutes later...
Lin Yuan's body was incinerated into nothingness by the omnipresent 'Myriad Suns True Fire'.
"He lost? The Thirteenth Peak Master lost?"
"It seems the Holy Son of the Myriad Suns is stronger after all."
"Of course. Do you know the background of the Holy Son of the Myriad Suns?"
"He's the rare 'Nine Suns Divine Vein' of our human race. After his birth, he was taken away by the Myriad Suns Star Master."
"The Myriad Suns Star Master went to great lengths to seal the Holy Son within the 'Myriad Fires True Crystal' and then threw it into the core of a star."
"For the next hundred years, the Holy Son constantly absorbed the terrifying scorching energy from within the star."
"Once he broke free from the seal, he instantly attained Fifth Stage strength."
"The Holy Son of the Myriad Suns doesn't need to cultivate. He can crush anyone with the terrifying energy raging within his body."
Countless spectators began discussing the match excitedly.
The Holy Son of the Myriad Suns possessed a foundation that was simply unattainable for ordinary evolvers.
The 'Nine Suns Divine Vein' was already an incredibly rare body constitution, and those with such a constitution were practically guaranteed to become Sixth Stage powerhouses.
Moreover, after being nurtured within the core of a star for a hundred years, it was no surprise that the Holy Son of the Myriad Suns was so formidable.
"Pure fire power, scorching the heavens and boiling the earth—indeed, it was terrifying," Lin Yuan muttered to himself in his personal space, replaying the battle in his mind.
The Holy Son of the Myriad Suns moved with the might of a falling star, and even though Lin Yuan practiced the Yin-Yang Sun-Moon Path, granting him greater resistance to fire-based attacks, he couldn't withstand such extreme power for long.
However...
Although Lin Yuan had lost, he didn't feel the slightest bit of dejection. Firstly, during the match, he hadn't used all his means. For instance, he hadn't deployed his Yin and Yang avatars. If he had unleashed them, his strength would have increased by several folds.
But doing so would have risked exposing the fact that he cultivated using a martial arts evolutionary path.
While it was true that among the myriad evolutionary paths of human civilization, there were some that allowed for the creation of 'avatars', they were exceedingly rare and usually only achievable by Sixth or Seventh Stage evolvers.
As for Sixth Stage and below, it was extremely uncommon to manifest something akin to an 'avatar'.
Furthermore, since the Yin and Yang avatars were not physical entities, it was best not to deploy them unless absolutely necessary.
Of course, once Lin Yuan reached the Sixth Stage, his Yin and Yang avatars would become almost tangible, and as long as he didn't manifest them simultaneously, there wouldn't be much of an issue.
Secondly, Lin Yuan was thrilled to face such a formidable opponent. At the very least, he had gained far more insight from this battle with the Holy Son of the Myriad Suns than he had from his previous opponents.
"Myriad Suns Convergence," Lin Yuan muttered to himself. That was the secret technique the Holy Son had used. If not for that technique, Lin Yuan believed he could have prolonged the battle further.
On the fringes of human civilization's territory.
Several terrifying wills pierced through the void.
"What should we do?"
"That disciple taken in by the Red Kunlun Star Master has terrifying potential. We absolutely cannot allow him to continue growing."
The first will exuded a sense of urgency. Initially, when they had learned about the Thirteenth Peak Master, they had assumed he merely possessed slightly better aptitude and might surpass the Sixth Stage in the future.
But now, it seemed their initial assessment had been far too conservative. If they didn't take action to stop him, another battle god would likely emerge on the interracial battlefield.
"What can we do? We don't even know the true identity of the Thirteenth Peak Master."
The second will expressed its powerlessness in the face of the situation. It, too, wanted to eliminate the Thirteenth Peak Master, but the Red Kunlun Star Master had been extremely cautious this time, keeping the Thirteenth Peak Master's identity a closely guarded secret.
"General Pan Yong, if you have any ideas, please speak up. We may not be able to help directly, but we will definitely provide support," the third will said, addressing the first will that had spoken.
"Yes, General Pan Yong, we will contribute whatever we can, be it strength or resources. We will not stand idly by," the last will added.
