Chapter 247: The Unbeatables of the Eighth Tier
Chapter 247: The Unbeatables of the Eighth Tier (Please Subscribe)
In a distant alien battlefield, designated B520, the Taiyin Primordial Spirit stood motionless, gazing at the permanent spatial rift that stretched a staggering ten thousand meters wide.
"The rate at which I accumulate boundary-breaking energy here is significantly faster than in the smaller battlefields," Lin Yuan mused. "It seems like the size of the rift, rather than the number of them, is the key factor influencing the accumulation process."
His mind raced with thoughts. He had attempted to boost the amplification effect by sending the Taiyin and Taiyang Primordial Spirits to different small-scale alien battlefields and positioning them near permanent spatial rifts. However, it had barely made a difference.
But now, near this medium-sized alien battlefield's massive rift, Lin Yuan could distinctly feel a difference.
"Initially, the Gate of Myriad Worlds accumulates boundary-breaking energy at a rate of one strand in three hundred and thirty-three days. The spatial rifts in the small alien battlefields increased that rate to one strand in two hundred and ninety days."
"And now..." Lin Yuan closed his eyes to confirm his findings once more.
"It's one strand in two hundred days!" A smile spread across Lin Yuan's face. With this rate, he could accumulate two strands in a little over a year. It was almost double the initial accumulation speed.
"I currently have seventeen strands of boundary-breaking energy," Lin Yuan thought to himself. Theoretically, this amount could support seventeen uninterrupted shuttle trips.
However, that was just the most basic form of shuttle travel, which was random in nature.
When Lin Yuan's strength had been weaker, even random shuttle trips had offered him significant benefits. Back then, his lack of power meant that he had a long way to go to reach the upper limits, and the endless dimensions and infinite universes meant that even a random trip would likely bring him to a world that could aid his growth.
But now... Now that Lin Yuan had reached the eighth tier of evolution, a large number of worlds offered him very limited benefits, even if he shuttled to them.
For example, if he were to shuttle to the worlds he had visited during his third or fourth trips, he might not even be able to regain his peak strength, let alone break free from the shackles and restrictions of those worlds.
The most crucial factor was—
After Lin Yuan's seventh shuttle trip, which he had undertaken to overcome his heart demon tribulation, he had come to a conclusion.
The duration of Lin Yuan's stay in a world after shuttling was directly related to the level of that world. In simpler terms, the higher the level of the world, the longer Lin Yuan could stay, and vice versa.
Soon, the Taiyin Primordial Spirit found an optimal position near the ten-thousand-meter-wide permanent spatial rift. This position maximized the accumulation of boundary-breaking energy, ultimately increasing the rate to one strand in one hundred and ninety-eight days.
"As for my internal world..." Lin Yuan sensed the Taiyin World within his Qi sea dantian.
Upon reaching the eighth tier, even his primordial spirits could create internal worlds.
The Taiyang Primordial Spirit had created the 'Taiyang World', a world filled with flames, while the Taiyin Primordial Spirit had birthed the 'Taiyin World'.
However, due to various influences, there were differences in the internal worlds created by Lin Yuan's physical body, the Taiyang Primordial Spirit, and the Taiyin Primordial Spirit.
Lin Yuan's physical body simultaneously controlled the Taiyin, Taiyang, and Taiji, with perfect and complete rules. His internal world currently spanned over seventy thousand li, and with the blessing and transformation of the mysterious gourd's liquid, it had explosively expanded to a massive two million li in size.
The Taiyang Primordial Spirit, having comprehended the Taiyang rules, had an internal world that reached forty thousand li in size, placing it at the pinnacle of the eighth tier.
As for the Taiyin Primordial Spirit's current internal world, it only spanned twenty thousand li. It was foreseeable that once Lin Yuan comprehended the Taiyin rules, the 'Taiyin World' would also reach a size of forty thousand li.
"It's a pity that the liquid in that gourd only affects flesh-and-blood life forms and has no effect on energy life forms," the Taiyin Primordial Spirit shook her head slightly.
The vast cosmos gave birth to countless life forms, and while flesh-and-blood life was the mainstream, it was not the only type. Beyond it existed energy life forms—beings without flesh, whose essence was comprised of souls and other ethereal powers. Lin Yuan's two primordial spirits fell strictly into this category.
Compared to flesh-and-blood life, energy life forms possessed numerous advantages, such as immunity to most physical attacks.
Within human civilization, certain unique bloodlines and techniques could temporarily transform physical bodies into energy forms.
However, compared to true energy life forms, these were not even on the same level.
"From now on, this primordial spirit of mine will remain stationed here," Lin Yuan said, glancing around.
He had specifically chosen this medium-sized alien battlefield not only because it met the requirement of a permanent spatial rift but also because it rarely witnessed intense warfare.
This pleased Lin Yuan, as intense battles could potentially lead to a repeat of what had happened in the small alien battlefield—a mass exodus of human evolutionaries.
Of course, in most high-intensity battlefields, the human evolutionaries held the advantage and actively pursued the alien races.
In the Galaxy Main Star, Lin Yuan continued his secluded cultivation.
He had entrusted most of the trivial matters of the Main Star and the Galaxy Star Domain to his subordinates, with the Wisdom Goddess paying extra attention to them. Thus, everything was mostly under control.
After his physical body had turned to dust once more and he had returned to life with the help of the Fleshly Body Secret Art 'Rebirth from a Drop of Blood', Lin Yuan began to sense the changes in his physical body and internal world.
"The rate of improvement is getting slower," Lin Yuan noted, his expression thoughtful.
The first time he had absorbed that drop of reddish-orange liquid, his internal world had instantly doubled in size. However, with each subsequent absorption, the rate of improvement decreased.
Lin Yuan wasn't surprised by this turn of events. The fact that the liquid could forcibly increase the fundamental size of his internal world was already astonishing.
Moreover, he was currently absorbing only the first type of reddish-orange liquid; there were still six other colors of liquid waiting for him.
"My internal world has now reached two hundred and twenty thousand li in size, which is 3.1 times its initial size of seventy thousand li," Lin Yuan thought to himself.
The improvement rate was decreasing with each subsequent absorption.
Lin Yuan estimated that the first type of reddish-orange liquid would stop enhancing his physical body and internal world at a rate of 3.33 times the original.
At that point, he would completely absorb this type of liquid and move on to the next one—the orange-colored liquid.
"3.33 times..." Lin Yuan fell into deep thought. That number was very familiar to him.
One of the prerequisites to becoming an ordinary member of the Magic Jade Tower was to comprehend three thousand three hundred and thirty-three types of evolutionary paths.
Initially, the Gate of Myriad Worlds accumulated boundary-breaking energy at a rate of one strand in three hundred and thirty-three days.
Whether it was the Magic Jade Tower or the Gate of Myriad Worlds, their origins were shrouded in mystery, especially the latter, which could easily transport Lin Yuan to other dimensional worlds.
When he had been weaker, Lin Yuan hadn't thought much about it. But as his strength and understanding of spatial rules grew, he found this ability increasingly terrifying. Even the strongest beings, he suspected, would be unable to create passages to other dimensions and universes.
"Keep going..."
"Once I've completely absorbed this reddish-orange liquid, I'll see what enhancements the orange-yellow liquid brings."
Everything proceeded in an orderly fashion, and almost every day, Lin Yuan's strength would increase a notch.
Each expansion of his internal world by a li would provide a significant boost to an eighth-tier evoluter, let alone Lin Yuan's current rate of expansion, which far exceeded a li per day.
Months later.
The Galaxy Main Star welcomed a guest.
"Hahahaha! So, you are Chi Qiu's apprentice? Impressive." In the palace, Lin Yuan sat facing a man in a white robe and a bald head.
This bald man in a white robe exuded a sense of holy light in his every gesture, naturally eliciting a feeling of closeness and goodwill.
"White Light Star Master, I feel a bit embarrassed when you say that." Lin Yuan said with a smile.
The White Light Star Master before him was an old friend of Chi Qiu Star Master and a long-standing peak eighth-tier evoluter of human civilization.
Although White Light Star Master was not an unbeatable eighth-tier, his strength was absolutely at the pinnacle of the eighth tier.
In terms of comprehension of spatial rules, he was almost on par with Chi Qiu Star Master.
It was only because he had not comprehended a certain type of cosmic power that he fell short of Chi Qiu Star Master.
The essence of an unbeatable eighth-tier evoluter was still at the fourth stage of the eighth tier.
It was just that the cosmic power they comprehended caused their battle prowess to soar, surpassing the eighth tier and even giving them the ability to protect themselves against ninth-tier evoluters.
"Here is the Thunder Heart you wanted." The White Light Star Master looked at Lin Yuan with a beaming smile and then tossed out a clump of completely condensed thunder and lightning that resembled a beating heart.
Thunder Heart was an eight-star cosmic rarity and could even be considered an eight-star top-grade rarity.
Lin Yuan's internal world was expanding rapidly, and he needed this kind of cosmic rarity to perfect it. He had just learned from his teacher, Chi Qiu Star Master, that White Light Star Master had recently obtained this 'Thunder Heart,' so he took the initiative to contact him for a trade.
It just so happened that the White Light Star Master had recently returned from a certain alien battlefield and was passing through the Galaxy Star Domain, so he decided to deliver it personally.
"Thank you, White Light Star Master."
Lin Yuan immediately took out twelve thousand squares of cosmic crystal.
Thunder Heart, as an eight-star top-grade cosmic rarity, was usually priceless, and its value ranged from ten thousand to twenty thousand squares of cosmic crystal.
The fact that White Light Star Master was willing to trade it for twelve thousand squares of cosmic crystal clearly showed that he was giving Chi Qiu Star Master face.
"Then our transaction is complete."
The White Light Star Master accepted the cosmic crystal and glanced at Lin Yuan once more, "Now, which path do you intend to take? Are you going to comprehend a type of cosmic power and become an unbeatable eighth-tier?"
"Unbeatable eighth-tier?"
"That's too difficult." Lin Yuan was slightly taken aback and shook his head.
Whether it was human civilization or other peak races, or powerful and ordinary races, they all had unbeatable eighth-tier evoluters.
But so far, no race had figured out a specific method to become an unbeatable eighth-tier.
Every unbeatable eighth-tier was unique, and the cosmic power they comprehended was also different.
"It's true that becoming an unbeatable eighth-tier is difficult."
"Many eighth-tier evoluters don't comprehend a type of cosmic power even after ascending to the ninth tier."
The White Light Star Master nodded.
Using human civilization as an example, it would take an estimate of thousands of eighth-tier evoluters to produce a single unbeatable eighth-tier.
Becoming an unbeatable eighth-tier also required a great deal of luck.
"However, what's difficult for other evoluters may not be the case for you..."
A strange look appeared on the White Light Star Master's face as he thought about Lin Yuan's talent and aptitude, which were absolutely the most terrifying he had ever seen.
Reaching the eighth tier before the age of a hundred was already remarkable.
But on top of that, Lin Yuan had single-handedly purged the Galaxy Star Domain, eliminating powerful special life forms and solitary alien travelers? To accomplish this, one would need at least the battle prowess of an eighth-tier peak.
This was simply a monster.
The White Light Star Master didn't know how else to describe Lin Yuan.
But one thing was certain.
What others considered an unbeatable eighth-tier.
For Lin Yuan, it might just be a matter of time.
After seeing the White Light Star Master off.
Lin Yuan fell into deep thought.
Lately, he had also been pondering how to become an unbeatable eighth-tier.
But he hadn't come up with any conclusions. Every unbeatable eighth-tier had grasped their cosmic power through coincidence and serendipity, and their path couldn't be replicated.
If Lin Yuan wanted to become an unbeatable eighth-tier, he had to comprehend a type of cosmic power himself.
But that was no simple task.
"Let's take it slow."
"There's no need to set my sights on becoming an unbeatable eighth-tier."
"It would be great if I can become an unbeatable eighth-tier, but if I can't, I'll just aim for the ninth tier directly."
Lin Yuan's thoughts were clear.
Even though an unbeatable eighth-tier was strong, they could only protect themselves against ninth-tier evoluters. Clearly, the former was far inferior to the latter.
Moreover.
Just because Lin Yuan couldn't comprehend a type of cosmic power didn't mean he couldn't become an unbeatable eighth-tier.
According to Lin Yuan's estimation, he only needed to expand his internal world to a size of several million li, and even without relying on cosmic power, his true battle prowess would not be any weaker than that of an unbeatable eighth-tier.
Outside the Galaxy Star Domain.
On a desolate planet.
There were five figures standing silently.
These five figures had completely concealed their auras, but faintly, they resonated with the surrounding starry sky universe, revealing themselves to be five unbeatable eighth-tiers.
Buzz.
A consciousness projection descended.
A giant insect nest illusion that was larger than the planet appeared faintly.
"Your Excellency."
The five unbeatable eighth-tiers bowed slightly upon seeing the insect nest illusion.
As unbeatable eighth-tiers, they didn't need to be so respectful even when facing a ninth-tier evoluter, because they all had the means to protect themselves against ninth-tier evoluters.
But the insect nest illusion before them belonged to a great existence of the Insect Race that transcended the ninth tier.
"Your target this time is the Galaxy Star Master, that peerless genius of human civilization."
The insect nest illusion released a spiritual wave as its gaze swept across the five unbeatable eighth-tiers.
There was an unspoken agreement among the several peak races that, whether on the battlefield or elsewhere, they would try their best not to deploy ninth-tier and above evoluters.
Even when it came to assassinating the Galaxy Star Master, a peerless genius of human civilization, they wouldn't break this agreement.
Previously, the Insect Race had taken the initiative to break this agreement because of that ultimate-level body that had drifted in from outside the world, containing an evolution path with no end in sight.
It held the potential to produce a supreme being (Queen Mother)
for the Insect Race.
That was why the Insect Race had flipped the table.
But the Galaxy Star Master? While he was indeed a peerless genius of human civilization, the chances of him becoming a supreme being were slim.
For the Insect Race, assassinating the Galaxy Star Master was merely a way to reduce potential losses in future battles.
"Your Excellency, the Galaxy Star Master has just entered the eighth tier. Even if he possesses the battle prowess of an unbeatable eighth-tier, any one of us is enough to deal with him. Is there a need for the five of us to join forces?"
The eighth-tier evoluter on the far left asked.
"Just entered the eighth tier?"
The insect nest illusion glanced at this eighth-tier evoluter, a hint of ridicule in its eyes.
