Chapter 270: Where is He?
Chapter 270: Where is He? (Please Subscribe)
Outside the passage, countless Supreme Sage Kings, including the Chaos Rebel Sage King, were stunned.
They had expected that after Wu Zu defeated the first layer opponent with a single move, he would have to struggle and clash with the subsequent layers of opponents.
But they never imagined that for Wu Zu, the first layer opponent was just the beginning.
The second layer, the third layer...all of them were pierced through with a single strike.
How was this possible?
Could it be that the strength of all the opponents in the first, second, and third layers was the same? After some thought, the Sage Kings knew that this was impossible.
The only possibility was that Wu Zu was too strong.
Just like the Chaos Rebel Sage King, a Supreme Sage King, who could easily defeat any Tribulation Transcending Sage King with a single move, whether they were at the initial or peak stage.
"Oh heavens, that's the Dragon Progenitor, the true dragon ancestor of the Spirit Realm, born since the inception of the Spirit Realm and disappeared into the endless ages," exclaimed a Supreme Sage King upon seeing Wu Zu's seventh-layer opponent, a million-zhang long true dragon with golden dragon horns, exuding a noble aura.
The True Dragon Progenitor was the ancestor of all life in the Spirit Realm that possessed the true dragon bloodline. It was said that the Dragon Progenitor intentionally infused its bloodline into the bodies of countless beings.
Thus, even though the Dragon Progenitor had disappeared countless millennia ago, the true dragon bloodline still flowed through the realms.
One of the Three Thousand Dao Domains, the Nine Jiang Domain, was a 'Dragon Rising Land', having given birth to a Tribulation Transcending Dragon King.
Of course, compared to the True Dragon Progenitor, that Dragon King was insignificant. If they were to meet, the Dragon King wouldn't even need to make a move; he would be instantly suppressed by the innate difference in their bloodlines.
The Dragon Progenitor was too famous, its bloodline flowing through the Spirit Realm, never fading from history, so it was no surprise that the Supreme Sage Kings recognized it at first glance.
In fact, the strength of the Dragon Progenitor was indeed fearsome, ranking as the seventh strongest life form in the Spirit Realm, guarding the ninth layer of the passage.
In other words, according to the Spirit Realm's judgment, the Dragon Progenitor was the fourth strongest life form to have ever existed in the Spirit Realm.
However, the supposedly invincible True Dragon Progenitor was nothing before Lin Yuan. With a single punch, Lin Yuan pierced through the dragon's body, the residual force of his punch shattering the rest of its colossal frame.
The Sage Kings fell silent.
The Chaos Rebel Sage King stared blankly.
"That's the Heavenly Phoenix Progenitor. I never expected the Heavenly Phoenix Progenitor to be slightly stronger than the Dragon Progenitor, residing in the third layer," remarked a Sage King as Lin Yuan proceeded to the eighth layer, sparking discussions among the onlooking Supreme Sage Kings.
Similar to the True Dragon Progenitor, the Heavenly Phoenix Progenitor was a powerful life form born at the inception of the Spirit Realm, and it too had infused its bloodline into countless beings.
Throughout the Three Thousand Dao Domains, there were numerous phoenix nests, nurturing and giving birth to life forms with the phoenix bloodline.
Although the Heavenly Phoenix Progenitor sparked discussions among the Supreme Sage Kings, they couldn't help but sigh inwardly when they recalled the fate of the True Dragon Progenitor.
As expected, facing the mighty Heavenly Phoenix Progenitor, Lin Yuan threw a single punch, ripping apart its phoenix body and proceeding to the ninth layer.
Soon, he reached the tenth layer.
At this layer, all the Supreme Sage Kings, including the Chaos Rebel Sage King who had already fallen into self-doubt, were shocked.
The tenth layer.
It was the final layer before the passage to the Ninth Heaven.
It was also the layer where the imprint of the strongest life form to have ever existed in the Spirit Realm resided.
To pass this layer, one must defeat the strongest life form since the inception of the Spirit Realm.
How difficult was that?
This wasn't about being the strongest in an era or a millennium.
It was about being the strongest since the birth of the Spirit Realm.
One could speculate that the strongest life form in the history of the Spirit Realm would have an insurmountable gap in strength compared to the second and third strongest.
"I wonder what kind of being the strongest life form in the history of the Spirit Realm is?" the Supreme Sage Kings wondered aloud as they fixed their gaze on the tenth layer.
"Is it a member of the Human Race?"
"Probably not. Look at the seventh, eighth, and ninth layers. None of those life forms are from the Human Race. Compared to inherently powerful races like the Dragon and Phoenix Clans, the Human Race doesn't have any advantages."
The Supreme Sage Kings voiced their opinions.
If it weren't for the passage of countless eras and the disappearance of powerful bloodlines, the rulers of the recent eras might not have been from the Human Race.
"It's probably a life form that emerged during the inception of the heavens and the earth, similar to the Dragon and Phoenix Clans," one Sage King speculated, earning nods of agreement from the others.
As the Supreme Sage Kings discussed, a figure emerged from the clouds and mist of the tenth layer of the passage.
This figure was humanoid, its sleeves billowing as it stood there, exuding an incredibly terrifying aura. Its blood essence flowed, covering the Three Thousand Dao Domains.
"Wu Zu...Is that Wu Zu?"
"The imprint of life in the tenth layer...is actually Wu Zu?"
"Is Wu Zu...the strongest life form to have ever existed in the Spirit Realm?"
The gathered Supreme Sage Kings erupted in astonishment.
What an incredible honor it was to be recognized as the strongest life form in the history of the Spirit Realm! They had never even considered that this strongest life form would be someone from their own era, Wu Zu.
"Makes sense. Easily piercing through the first nine layers...it could only be Wu Zu," the Chaos Rebel Sage King mumbled.
None of the opponents in the first nine layers could withstand a single punch from Wu Zu.
If Wu Zu wasn't the strongest life form in the history of the Spirit Realm, then who was?
"The strongest life form in the history of the Spirit Realm...I never thought I'd have the honor of witnessing such a powerful being," a Supreme Sage King said, awe-struck.
"Indeed, surpassing the Dragon and Phoenix Progenitors, Wu Zu is truly monstrous," another Sage King added, sharing their sentiment.
But then, the Supreme Sage Kings realized something.
If Wu Zu was the strongest life form in the history of the Spirit Realm, possessing unparalleled battle prowess and lethality, could he defeat himself?
"It's not fair. There's no way to pass through this Ninth Heaven passage," one of the Sage Kings remarked.
"Yes, if it's not the ten strongest life forms in the history of the Spirit Realm, one wouldn't even be able to get past the first layer," another Sage King agreed.
"Being the strongest life form in the Spirit Realm, but having to fight your own life imprint...how can you win?"
"How indeed?"
The Sage Kings discussed the dilemma.
The opponent created from the life imprint wouldn't suffer any damage, and it could use all the techniques, abilities, talents, and divine powers of the original owner. No wonder the Sage Kings were so shocked. For any strong expert, defeating an enemy might be possible, but defeating oneself? How does one do that?
Moreover, the opponent created from the life imprint had no emotions, only a combat instinct, making it even more troublesome.
Of course, since their techniques and abilities were identical, it was almost impossible for the life imprint to defeat Wu Zu, but it was equally improbable for Wu Zu to defeat his life imprint.
"This Ninth Heaven passage is basically impossible to pass," the Chaos Rebel Sage King sighed, gazing at Wu Zu standing in the tenth layer.
Tenth Layer.
Lin Yuan looked at his opponent.
It was identical to him in every way: the same aura, the same fluctuations of qi and blood, and even the subtle emanations of the world within their bodies.
The only difference was the look in his opponent's eyes—cold and indifferent, like a machine.
Lin Yuan stood there for a short while longer.
The 'Wu Zu' that had been condensed from his life imprint took the initiative to make a move.
These powerful beings condensed from life imprints had no emotions or thoughts, only one idea—to defeat Lin Yuan.
Boom!!
A terrifying aura directly penetrated through the entrances of the first nine layers, spreading and covering the Eighth Heaven.
"So strong?"
"Wu Zu barely used any strength to pass through the first eight layers."
The Supreme Sage Kings' scalps went numb, and they immediately began to resist with all their might.
In the tenth layer, Wu Zu and the 'Wu Zu' created from his life imprint fought, and even the aftermath of their battle, after passing through the weakening effects of the nine layers, still wreaked havoc on the Eighth Heaven.
One could well imagine that if the battlefield had been in the Tenth Layer instead, the entire Eighth Heaven might have been destroyed.
It might even affect the Seventh Heaven and the Sixth Heaven... This was simply unimaginable.
After all, even when the Primordial Epoch ended and the Chaos Rebel Sage King and other Supreme Sage Kings fought to the death, they only affected the surface of the Spirit Realm.
As for the Nine Heavens, not even the First Heaven was affected.
Boom, boom, boom! In the tenth layer battlefield, Lin Yuan and the 'Wu Zu' exchanged hundreds of moves in an instant.
Martial arts cultivation systems, various transformative powers, even that trace of primal power that surpassed higher-level transformative powers, the power of the internal world spanning nearly a hundred million li, and so on... Any means Lin Yuan possessed, his opponent had as well.
"This is troublesome," Lin Yuan frowned slightly.
His opponent, the 'Wu Zu', was strong, but also not so strong.
Lin Yuan felt that his opponent wasn't strong because he was a replication of himself, and who knew himself better than he knew his own self?
However, in this situation, the opponent 'Wu Zu' had no chance of defeating Lin Yuan, but it was also difficult for Lin Yuan to defeat his replication.
"It's a pity that my strength is still too low," Lin Yuan shook his head slightly.
There was also an upper limit to the life imprint replication of the Ninth Heaven entrance passage.
For example, it definitely couldn't replicate a complete invincible being.
But Lin Yuan's current strength was unable to compare to the entire Spirit Realm. His internal world, spanning nearly a hundred million li, was even inferior to a single grand domain within the Spirit Realm, so it was very easy to replicate everything about Lin Yuan.
"Should I try the physical divine ability 'Enhancement'?"
Lin Yuan wondered secretly.
'Enhancement' was a divine ability Lin Yuan's current incarnation had awakened.
Once used, everything about him—his physical body, qi and blood, soul, spirit, and so on—would be enhanced tenfold.
Of course, it could only last for ten breaths, and Lin Yuan would also suffer a period of weakness afterward.
Ever since he awakened this divine ability, Lin Yuan had never tried it because there had been no need to. None of the opponents he had encountered had forced him to the point of using this divine ability.
Due to the side effects of the 'Enhancement' divine ability, it could only be used as a trump card.
"What if the other party also replicated the 'Enhancement' divine ability?" Lin Yuan looked at his opponent, the 'Wu Zu'.
Then, he suddenly burst out, shattering the opponent's right arm at the cost of his own left arm.
Swish.
The 'Bleeding Rebirth' physical divine ability operated on its own, and Lin Yuan's left arm quickly regenerated.
Lin Yuan looked at his opponent, the 'Wu Zu', and saw that his right arm was also regenerating rapidly.
"Bleeding Rebirth has also been replicated. I suppose 'Enhancement' has been replicated as well," Lin Yuan immediately understood.
He knew that once he used the 'Enhancement' divine ability, his opponent would probably also use the 'Enhancement' divine ability in an instant.
Although this divine ability had the effect of enhancing everything about himself tenfold, if they both enhanced themselves, it would be the same as not enhancing at all.
In the Eighth Heaven, at the entrance to the Ninth Heaven.
Although the aftermath of the battle between the two 'Wu Zus' affected the Eighth Heaven, the Supreme Sage Kings on the scene were all working together to resist, and they could still hold on for a while. None of them were willing to give up watching the battle in the tenth layer.
This was the battle between the strongest life forms since the birth of the Spirit Realm. Perhaps after today, there would never be another opportunity. All the Supreme Sage Kings wanted to watch it to the end, even if it meant sacrificing their physical bodies.
"Wu Zu doesn't seem to have the upper hand, but he doesn't have the disadvantage either. If this continues, the battle will only end in a stalemate," Chaos Rebel Sage King said in a low voice. Although the battle between the two Wu Zus was on a level too high for them to fully understand, they could still judge the most basic advantages and disadvantages.
"There's always someone stronger, and there's always a higher realm. There are heavenly beings in the Nine Heavens, but it seems like we can't even reach the Ninth Heaven. Even Wu Zu, the strongest life form in history, is having such a hard time. Who else can make it up there?"
A Supreme Sage King's voice was filled with disappointment, feeling that his pursuit of the Ninth Heaven was just an illusion.
"There's always someone stronger, and there's always a higher realm. There are heavenly beings in the Nine Heavens," Chaos Rebel Sage King said silently.
This saying had existed for an unknown length of time, and in the Three Thousand Dao Domains, it had even taken on another meaning.
That was, there were always stronger beings, and even Supreme Sage Kings were not invincible.
At this moment, it was quite fitting to use it here. Even the strongest life form in history, Wu Zu, was stopped at the tenth layer.
Even if Wu Zu passed through the tenth layer and entered the Ninth Heaven, he might encounter even stronger opponents.
Tenth Layer.
Lin Yuan was still fighting his opponent, the 'Wu Zu'.
"The only way to defeat him is to use a means that he cannot replicate," Lin Yuan's heart was calm, but his eyes shone with determination.
"Impossible to replicate."
Lin Yuan looked at his opponent, the 'Wu Zu', "You have everything I have, but can you have my comprehension?"
Lin Yuan's heaven-defying comprehension came from the Gate of Myriad Worlds, and the Gate of Myriad Worlds was a existence that surpassed invincible beings. The Spirit Realm couldn't even replicate invincible beings, let alone the Gate of Myriad Worlds?
[Your comprehension defies the heavens, and as you fight your opponent, you gradually realize his weaknesses.]
In an instant, the weaknesses of the opponent, the 'Wu Zu', appeared in Lin Yuan's realization.
"Primal Power."
Lin Yuan urged the power of his internal world and merged it with the primal power that surpassed higher-level transformative powers, turning it into a terrifying strike that instantly penetrated his opponent, the 'Wu Zu'.
With this, the battle ended.
The opponent, the 'Wu Zu', stood there blankly.
His internal world began to collapse, quickly crumbling under Lin Yuan's strike, and his physical body began to turn to dust.
Crackle, crackle.
The opponent in the tenth layer disappeared.
Lin Yuan took a step forward and disappeared into the tenth layer.
Ninth Heaven.
The clouds and mist surged.
Endless and boundless.
Lin Yuan stood alone on a mountaintop.
"They say there's always someone stronger, and there's always a higher realm. There are heavenly beings in the Nine Heavens," Lin Yuan looked around, and all living things were beneath his feet. Standing alone on the mountaintop, he looked down on the world, as if he were the only one in a vast expanse.
"But where are the heavenly beings?"
To be continued tomorrow.
