Chapter 183: The Main World's Spatial Rift, The Myriad Worlds Gate Trembles
Chapter 183: The Main World's Spatial Rift, The Myriad Worlds Gate Trembles (Endorsement Requested)
"An eighth-tier soul-defending treasure."
Lin Yuan's eyes gleamed with a hint of fervor.
Among all treasures, soul-defending items were undoubtedly the most precious.
The soul, which carries the true spirit of life, is of utmost importance. For high-level evolvers, the destruction of the physical body does not equate to death. However, any damage to the soul can directly affect the true spirit.
Undoubtedly, the most valuable item among Ouyin's possessions was this soul-defending treasure.
In fact, Lin Yuan had encountered soul-defending treasures before. The grand prize from the Canglan Star Arena included a soul-defensing treasure, but it was only third or fourth-tier—a far cry from the eighth-tier one left by Ouyin.
"It's shaped like a droplet?" Lin Yuan took out the soul-defending treasure. It resembled a thumb-sized droplet of sky-blue liquid, with subtle cracks running across its surface upon closer inspection.
"Elder Ouyin had an eighth-tier armor for physical defense and an eighth-tier water droplet for soul protection, yet he still perished under a soul attack from Hei YuanQingyu," Lin Yuan mused. "Even this soul droplet was almost pierced."
Soul-defending treasures didn't guarantee absolute protection. Even an eighth-tier soul-defending treasure had its limits. If a soul attack exceeded this threshold, it could penetrate the treasure and directly harm the soul.
"Could Qingyu Hei Yuan already possess the ability to break through eighth-tier soul-defending treasures when she was at the eighth tier herself?" Lin Yuan wondered.
The 'eighth-tier' prefix on the soul-defending treasure indicated that it could resist most soul attacks of the same tier.
"Those alien races..." Lin Yuan shook his head slightly. In the war between the Human Civilization Alliance and the alien races, the humans held the advantage, but it was merely that—an advantage. Numerous powerful humans still fell in battle.
Qingyu Hei Yuan belonged to the powerful Hei Yuan tribe, and the casualties on the human side would only increase if they faced peak tribes like the Insect Tribe.
"This droplet is cracked," Lin Yuan noted as he caressed the sky-blue droplet.
Even in its damaged state, it was still an eighth-tier soul-defending treasure. If Lin Yuan wished, he could easily exchange it for four or five eighth-tier armors. Most likely, Elder Ouyin had spent a significant portion of his wealth to acquire this defensive droplet.
"I should find a teacher and ask if it can be repaired," Lin Yuan thought to himself. Since it was broken, it could be fixed, but only someone as powerful as the Chi Qiu Star Master would be able to repair an eighth-tier soul-defending treasure.
As for whether it would expose the fact that he had obtained Elder Ouyin's inheritance—even if it did, so what? Ouyin had perished over a million years ago, and he had been a solitary evolver. Who would dare say anything about Lin Yuan, one of the thirteen peak masters of the Chi Qiu lineage?
Moreover, his teacher, the Chi Qiu Star Master, was a powerhouse from a million years ago, comparable to Qingyu Hei Yuan. He probably wouldn't be interested in a broken soul droplet either.
"Special Life Bloodline Elixir."
Lin Yuan held up a transparent test tube containing a viscous purple liquid.
This type of special life bloodline evolution elixir was useless to individual evolvers, but it could be implanted into offspring to create a powerful family of evolvers.
This was far superior to the families left behind by sixth-tier Fallen Stars. The special life bloodline essence was purer, increasing the likelihood and potential of bloodline awakening in future generations.
"I can also use this bloodline evolution elixir to create a powerful family of evolvers as a force to cultivate in the future," Lin Yuan contemplated.
Even if he didn't want to create his own family of evolvers, Lin Yuan could easily sell it whenever he wanted. After all, special lives were rare, and this bloodline essence, extracted from countless special lives, would only become scarcer in the future.
Aside from the treasures and wealth left by the eighth-tier evolver, Ouyin, Lin Yuan had also gained a significant haul from defeating those powerful members of the Hei Yuan tribe.
However, compared to Ouyin's possessions, their loot was meager. Those Hei Yuan tribe members had undoubtedly left most of their treasures and wealth back home, bringing only the weapons and armor necessary for combat.
"Uploading battle and kill videos."
Lin Yuan uploaded the footage of him defeating the five Hei Yuan tribe members to the Freedom Goddess. This served as crucial evidence for the Freedom Goddess to determine the distribution of merit points. The video recording function was provided by the three goddesses, ensuring authenticity and preventing tampering or deception.
The video included his perspective, preventing him from claiming kills of fellow human evolvers as alien kills.
Drop— "Video authenticity and facts confirmed. After evaluation, this is worth five thousand merit points," the Freedom Goddess' cold, murderous voice announced.
"Five thousand merit points," Lin Yuan shook his head slightly.
Five thousand merit points seemed like a substantial amount. However, it wasn't even enough to advance from a first-class citizen to a third-class citizen.
To advance from a first-class to a second-class citizen required one thousand merit points, and to progress further to a third-class citizen required an additional five thousand merit points.
But these five thousand merit points were earned by defeating five sixth-tier aliens. Sixth-tier aliens were Fallen Stars, and he had defeated five of them.
"Focusing on evolution paths is still the most profitable," Lin Yuan thought to himself. While defeating the five Hei Yuan tribe members had been smooth, doing so repeatedly would eventually lead to trouble.
He who treads the river's edge will eventually slip and fall in. If Lin Yuan continued to rely on this method to earn merit points, disaster would inevitably strike.
Alien Battlefield C24763.
Lin Yuan's astral soul rode a spaceship, swiftly moving in a particular direction.
"Such delightful spatial fluctuations," Lin Yuan inhaled sharply, reveling in the ever-shifting spatial forces from all directions.
[Your comprehension is heaven-defying. Your understanding of spatial rules continues to deepen.]
[Your comprehension is heaven-defying. Your understanding of spatial rules continues to deepen.]
[Your comprehension is heaven-defying. Your understanding of spatial rules continues to deepen.]
Tai Yin's primordial spirit shared consciousness with Lin Yuan, and with her heaven-defying comprehension, she constantly deepened her understanding of spatial rules as they ventured into the alien battlefield.
"Haven't encountered any aliens so far," Lin Yuan glanced around and shook his head slightly.
This was the norm in alien battlefields. Except for certain special periods, one rarely encountered aliens.
To find aliens, one had to go to the battlefield's center, where the forces of humanity and the Hei Yuan tribe gathered, always on the brink of war.
Lin Yuan's recent encounter with several Hei Yuan tribe members right after entering the battlefield and his acquisition of an eighth-tier human evolver's inheritance were anomalies, bordering on great opportunities.
"That should be the location of the permanent spatial rift in this battlefield," Lin Yuan's gaze shifted as he sensed the turbulent spatial forces emanating from a particular direction.
"The Main World is nearly perfect, with a sturdy and almost indestructible spatial foundation. Even if one were to forcibly tear apart the fabric of space with their own understanding of spatial rules, the rift would quickly mend itself."
"As for the formation of a permanent spatial rift..."
Lin Yuan couldn't quite comprehend the reason behind the formation of such rifts and could only attribute it to the sheer power of the strongest beings.
"According to the information, there are guardians from both the Human Race and the Black Abyss Clan stationed near that permanent spatial rift. To get close and gain insight, one must obtain permission from either race."
This wouldn't be a problem for Lin Yuan; all he needed to do was reveal his identity as a member of the Human Race and he would be allowed to pass.
In fact, many evolvers who entered the Alien Battlefield did so with the intention of comprehending the spatial rules. The same was true for the Black Abyss Clan.
The vast majority of powerful evolvers lacked Lin Yuan's terrifying insight and could only progress by entering these dangerous places and attempting to gain a deeper understanding.
Red Kun Main Planet.
Lin Yuan sat with his legs crossed.
In front of him, strands of spatial force materialized and intertwined, forming a mysterious spatial model.
An indeterminate amount of time passed.
A tall tower-like spatial model took shape, and in an instant, the space around it stabilized as if anchored by the tower at its center.
"The nine hundred and thirty-eighth spatial model."
Lin Yuan opened his eyes, a smile spreading across his face.
Among the nine hundred and sixty-five basic spatial models, each one had a unique application.
For example, the tower-shaped spatial model that Lin Yuan had just condensed had the effect of suppressing space.
By applying this spatial model to the extreme, he could, with a wave of his hand, condense the space within a billion miles, prohibiting the use of various spatial powers such as instantaneous movement.
"Only twenty-seven basic spatial models left."
With a slight movement of his mind, Lin Yuan caused the tower-shaped spatial model to dissipate, and the surrounding space immediately returned to normal.
"At most, it will only take another month to thoroughly comprehend all the basic spatial models."
"By then, there will be no obstacles to opening the seventh stage of the Martial Dao, and I will be able to truly step into the seventh stage."
Lin Yuan was quite satisfied with his progress.
Of course, the reason he was able to comprehend these models so quickly was mainly due to Tai Yin's primordial spirit, which allowed him to gain an equal understanding of spatial rules while in the Alien Battlefield.
This greatly accelerated Lin Yuan's progress in comprehending the nine hundred and sixty-five basic spatial models.
"Martial Dao's seventh stage..."
Lin Yuan was full of anticipation. In his estimation, the importance of this stage was unquestionable. Establishing one's own internal small world was the foundation.
And according to Lin Yuan's understanding of other evolutionary paths, the creation of an internal world would require at least a breakthrough to the eighth stage from the seventh.
As for establishing an internal small world during the sixth or seventh stage, there had only been a handful of cases in the Star Sea Calendar's history spanning over two million years, and each of those was an unrepeatable grand opportunity.
Alien Battlefield C24763.
"We've arrived."
Lin Yuan maneuvered his spaceship to a stop.
Not far away was a floating mountain range that stretched for tens of thousands of miles, emanating a terrifying aura.
As Lin Yuan approached, he released the aura of his battlefield pass.
Before long, a tall man clad in black armor flew down to meet him.
"Brother, what brings you to this battlefield? Are you planning to join the battle against those despicable Black Abyss Clan members?"
The armored man drew closer, his tone friendly and enthusiastic.
Since Lin Yuan could release the aura of a battlefield pass, it proved that he was a member of the Human Race. The alien races did not possess the means to imitate the aura of a pass, not even the most powerful peak clans.
"Are you planning to head to the center of the battlefield and give those Black Abyss scoundrels a good fight?"
The armored man's eyes lit up with excitement as he looked at Lin Yuan. "Rest assured, when the big battle breaks out, just stay behind me and you'll be safe."
Most of the human evolvers who came to the Alien Battlefield did so with the intention of fighting the alien races.
After all, there were too many benefits—by defeating an alien, one could acquire their treasures and also receive merit points determined by the Freedom Goddess.
As for comprehending the spatial rules, that was often just an afterthought.
"No, I'm planning to head to the permanent spatial rift to gain insight into the spatial rules."
Lin Yuan immediately stated his purpose.
It was evident that this armored man loved to fight the aliens, and now he was trying to recruit Lin Yuan to join him.
"I see."
A hint of disappointment flashed across the armored man's face.
"Then follow me."
The armored man turned and flew toward the floating mountain range behind him.
Lin Yuan followed closely behind.
Soon, the two of them entered the suspended mountain range.
"Half of the area around the permanent spatial rift is occupied by the Black Abyss Clan. Be extra cautious when you're there, and don't get too absorbed in your insights," the armored man warned.
In the Alien Battlefield, the clashes between the Human Race and the Black Abyss Clan were fierce, but they still maintained a degree of rationality, and there were certain areas where fighting was implicitly prohibited.
One such area was the vicinity of the permanent spatial rift.
Human evolvers or Black Abyss Clan members who ventured there did so for the purpose of comprehending the spatial rules.
Thus, over the past hundreds of thousands of years, an unspoken agreement had formed between the two races, and fighting was forbidden in that area.
If one sought to engage in battle, they could go to the central battlefield, where large numbers of powerful members from both races gathered and clashed.
However— This was only an unwritten rule.
It was not set in stone.
To believe that the area around the rift was a safe zone would be truly foolish.
That was why the armored man felt the need to give Lin Yuan this reminder.
"I understand."
Lin Yuan nodded.
He had made sufficient preparations before coming here.
"Good."
"Follow me."
The armored man led Lin Yuan to a teleportation area.
From there, they could immediately teleport to the vicinity of the permanent spatial rift.
Buzz! The teleportation process began, and Lin Yuan felt the surrounding spatial forces fluctuate violently.
When the turbulence finally calmed down, they had arrived at their destination.
"Over there?"
Lin Yuan looked up and saw a pitch-black 'rift' not too far away.
It was filled with a murky gray gas, and spatial forces churned within, causing the spatial rules to fluctuate constantly.
"That is the permanent spatial rift of this Alien Battlefield."
The armored man also looked in that direction and explained in a low voice, "This permanent spatial rift was created by a powerful weapon wielded by one of our Human evolvers, so it isn't very large."
"But in the larger Alien Battlefields, there are rifts created by the strongest beings themselves, and those can span tens of thousands, millions, or even billions of miles."
"It is said that rifts of that size often attract 'visitors from other realms', making them extremely dangerous."
As the armored man introduced the rift, he couldn't help but click his tongue in awe.
However, there was something the armored man didn't know.
At that very moment, Lin Yuan's heart was not calm.
As he gazed at the permanent spatial rift, only a dozen or so meters wide, something deep within his mind stirred.
The majestic and grand Myriad Worlds Gate actually trembled slightly.
