Chapter 289: Unleased Fury
Chapter 289: Unleased Fury (End of Chapter)
"Spatial rules?"
"Mastery over complete spatial rules?"
The Ninth-Tier expert from the Celestial Feather Clan stared at Lin Yuan, his eyes filled with astonishment.
Even the six-winged elder had eventually guessed as much, and this new development was clear to him as well.
For Galaxy Prime to instantly dismiss the silver-white cube containing the complete spatial rules, the only explanation was absolute control over space itself.
With a single thought, he could shape space.
And this was something only possible with mastery over the complete spatial rules.
"Not even a hundred years old, and he's comprehended the complete spatial rules?"
The Ninth-Tier Celestial Feather Clan expert was stunned. The name Galaxy Prime was known even among their Ninth Tier, as one who had comprehended three types of higher cosmic powers, almost certainly destined for the Ninth Tier.
It must be known that each of them, the Ninth-Tier experts, had endured countless trials and tribulations to reach this level.
Initially, this Ninth-Tier member of the Celestial Feather Clan had thought that Lin Yuan's current achievements were partly due to luck. After all, comprehending cosmic powers did involve a certain degree of randomness.
Cosmic powers couldn't be replicated or simulated, and there was no concrete path to their mastery.
Some exceptionally brilliant and talented individuals might spend their entire lives as Eighth-Tier cultivators without ever grasping a cosmic power, while others, who were relatively mediocre Eighth-Tier cultivators, might stumble upon a cosmic power simply by choosing a random direction to pursue.
But now, with Galaxy Prime having comprehended the complete spatial rules, things were different.
While there might be an element of luck in comprehending a cosmic power, mastering the complete spatial rules relied solely on one's own abilities.
Furthermore, among the countless races in the universe, very few could comprehend the complete spatial rules at the Eighth Tier, and they were far rarer than Ninth or Tenth-Tier cultivators.
"This complicates matters." The Ninth-Tier Celestial Feather Clan expert frowned. A being who had comprehended the complete spatial rules was far more troublesome than an Eighth-Tier invincible.
With a higher-level understanding of space, such a being could easily toy with a group of Eighth-Tier invincibles, using layer upon layer of spatial barriers to exile them to the depths of the void.
Moreover, Galaxy Prime had not only comprehended the complete spatial rules.
"We must win this war at all costs."
The Ninth-Tier Celestial Feather Clan expert immediately began contacting other powerful members of his clan.
"Solante, you possess a Ninth-Tier defensive treasure. Come to me at once." Using himself as a coordinate, the Ninth-Tier expert summoned another powerful member of the Celestial Feather Clan from their ancestral star domain.
Solante was one of the top ten geniuses of the current era in the Celestial Feather Clan, with a fifty percent chance of reaching the Ninth Tier.
In merely ten thousand years, he had comprehended a higher cosmic power and deeply explored his bloodline, mastering three bloodline talents.
The Ninth-Tier expert didn't expect Solante to defeat Galaxy Prime, but as long as he could hold him back or distract him, that would be enough.
As long as Galaxy Prime couldn't act with impunity against the Eighth-Tier invincibles of the Celestial Feather Clan, they still had a chance of winning this war.
On the side of the Human Civilization.
Within the layers of space, a Ninth-Tier Evolver examined Lin Yuan with equal astonishment.
His name was 'Xilan', and he was the Ninth-Tier cultivator stationed at this battlefield by the Human Civilization.
"He's actually comprehended the complete spatial rules?"
Xilan blinked, recalling how he had spent several thousand years after reaching the Ninth Tier to comprehend the complete spatial rules.
And here was Galaxy Prime, having achieved the same feat at such a young age.
From his lofty position, Xilan could sense that comprehending spatial rules was far easier for a Ninth-Tier cultivator than for an Eighth-Tier one.
"This kid…"
Xilan was at a loss for words.
All Ninth-Tier cultivators were peerless geniuses of their generation, but compared to Galaxy Prime, Xilan felt that his own cultivation years had been wasted.
"Galaxy Prime's talent and aptitude far exceed the rumors. We must protect this treasure at all costs."
Xilan immediately snapped to attention, wary of any desperate moves by the Celestial Feather Clan's Ninth-Tier expert.
Even if Galaxy Prime was currently only a clone, there were still ways to affect the original body through the clone.
In Xilan's mind, the safety of Galaxy Prime took precedence over winning the war.
They could afford to lose this battle against the Celestial Feather Clan, but they absolutely could not let any harm come to Galaxy Prime. If necessary, they would break the unspoken rules and ensure his safety.
In the center of the battlefield.
Lin Yuan was inspecting the six-winged elder's spatial ring.
"How poor."
Lin Yuan shook his head slightly. There weren't any valuable treasures within the ring, and the total worth of the items was probably equivalent to only a few thousand universe crystals.
This was quite normal, as any Eighth-Tier invincible who dared to step onto the battlefield was prepared for death and thus wouldn't carry precious treasures with them.
"But this spatial treasure should be quite valuable." Lin Yuan glanced at the silver-white cube beside him.
This treasure was the Celestial Feather Clan's trump card for this war, meant to counter any Ninth-Tier treasures the Human Civilization might deploy.
And now, it had fallen into Lin Yuan's hands.
Just then.
A Celestial Feather Clan expert with eight pairs of wings on his back and clad in purple armor appeared on the battlefield, riding the waves of spatial fluctuations.
"I am Solante, and I shall be your opponent, Galaxy Prime." With Solante's arrival, the previously panicked Eighth-Tier invincibles of the Celestial Feather Clan calmed down slightly.
Solante was one of the ten strongest geniuses of the Celestial Feather Clan below the Ninth Tier, far surpassing the previous six-winged elder in strength.
Moreover, the purple armor he wore emanated profound auras, clearly a Ninth-Tier defensive treasure.
With Solante's strength, coupled with a Ninth-Tier defensive treasure, even if Galaxy Prime had comprehended the complete spatial rules, it wouldn't be easy to deal with him.
The six-winged elder had fallen so easily because his spatial treasure was completely countered!
Before this, who could have known that Galaxy Prime had comprehended the complete spatial rules?
If the six-winged elder had known, he definitely wouldn't have used the silver-white cube.
On the battlefield, Lin Yuan looked at Solante with his eight pairs of wings.
"A Ninth-Tier defensive treasure?" Lin Yuan's eyes lit up. This was indeed a valuable item, worth no less than the spatial treasure, and it was a weapon crafted with the heart's blood of a Ninth-Tier cultivator.
"Galaxy Prime."
Solante felt a tremendous amount of pressure. "I possess the Eight-Winged talent and am one of the ten strongest Eighth-Tier cultivators of the Celestial Feather Clan. I've mastered three bloodline talents, and now, with this Ninth-Tier treasure, I believe I have the ability to kill an Eighth-Tier invincible."
Solante's confidence gradually returned as his thoughts raced.
So what if Galaxy Prime was powerful? His goal wasn't to defeat Galaxy Prime, but simply to stall him.
"Make your move."
"Otherwise, you won't have another chance."
Lin Yuan appraised Solante and spoke.
His willingness to let Solante make the first move wasn't out of arrogance but rather a desire to witness the techniques he had mastered, to see if they could be incorporated into his own martial arts cultivation system.
The phrase 'battle-hardened' described Lin Yuan perfectly—he had heaven-defying comprehension abilities, and even his enemies could become stepping stones on his path to greater strength.
"Very well."
Solante's thoughts stirred, and with him as the center, endless thunderbolts appeared in all directions, stretching for hundreds of thousands of miles.
The thunderbolts moved swiftly, penetrating through the layers of space, most of them forming a defensive barrier around him, while a small portion rushed towards Galaxy Prime.
Having witnessed the six-winged elder's defeat, Solante focused mainly on defense and didn't expect his attack to affect Galaxy Prime significantly.
"Go!"
Lin Yuan unleashed his Annihilation Power, intertwining it with Solante's thunderous might.
The two seemed to be locked in a stalemate, with Lin Yuan having the upper hand, but it was clear that he wouldn't be able to take down Solante quickly based on their collision.
With a Ninth-Tier defensive treasure, Galaxy Prime's attacks couldn't inflict any damage on Solante.
"I... I managed to hold back Galaxy Prime?" Solante rejoiced inwardly and redoubled his efforts.
"Finally, we've managed to hold back Galaxy Prime." The Ninth-Tier expert from the Celestial Feather Clan also noticed this, "But with Galaxy Prime's rate of growth, he will undoubtedly become a major threat to our clan in the future."
The Ninth-Tier Celestial Feather Clan expert's eyes narrowed. The current Galaxy Prime already had the ability to influence the outcome of a medium-scale battle.
What would happen when he fully matured? Could he influence large-scale battles as well?
"Hahaha, indeed, he is one of our clan's top ten Eighth-Tier geniuses. What can Galaxy Prime do even if he's strong?"
"But Galaxy Prime is too powerful. He's suppressing Solante, and if it weren't for that Ninth-Tier treasure..."
"Regardless, we don't have to face Galaxy Prime directly anymore."
The Eighth-Tier invincibles of the Celestial Feather Clan heaved a sigh of relief and began conversing among themselves.
"That's enough."
After engaging with Solante for a while, Lin Yuan finally shattered his opponent's soul with a slightly superior soul attack.
"A Ninth-Tier defensive treasure."
Upon Solante's death, the Ninth-Tier defensive treasure naturally fell into Lin Yuan's hands.
"Hmm?"
"I didn't expect Galaxy Prime to be proficient in soul attacks as well?"
The Ninth-Tier Celestial Feather Clan expert's expression turned pensive, and he immediately contacted his clan, "Balakh, you possess a Ninth-Tier soul-defensive treasure. Come to the battlefield at once."
Balakh was also one of the top ten geniuses of the Celestial Feather Clan in the current era, with slightly stronger frontal combat strength compared to Solante.
If Solante could hold back Galaxy Prime for so long, then Balakh, equipped with a Ninth-Tier soul-defensive treasure and specifically targeting Galaxy Prime, should be able to completely entangle him.
This would buy a significant amount of time for the Celestial Feather Clan in this war.
"Galaxy Prime."
Balakh had a sturdy build, a stark contrast to the normally slender physique of the Celestial Feather Clan members, but the aura he exuded was extremely terrifying.
"I possess a Ninth-Tier soul-defensive treasure, your soul attacks are useless against me."
Balakh was more reassuring himself than addressing Galaxy Prime.
Half an hour later.
After a prolonged battle, Lin Yuan finally crushed Balakh at the physical level.
Upon Balakh's death, the Ninth-Tier soul-defensive treasure also fell into Lin Yuan's hands.
"Galaxy Prime's physical attacks are also formidable?" The Ninth-Tier Celestial Feather Clan expert fell into deep thought.
"Ganuo, you bring..."
The Ninth-Tier Celestial Feather Clan expert continued to mobilize another one of the top ten geniuses within the clan, an Eighth-Tier lifeform.
Soon, two to three hours passed.
Six of the Celestial Feather Clan's top ten geniuses had perished at the hands of Galaxy Prime.
These six Eighth-Tier invincibles of the Celestial Feather Clan all held Ninth-Tier treasures specifically aimed at countering Galaxy Prime, and they had all died difficult deaths.
"Something's not right."
The Ninth-Tier Celestial Feather Clan expert narrowed his eyes.
Each time an Eighth-Tier genius of the Celestial Feather Clan, armed with a Ninth-Tier treasure, faced Galaxy Prime, they would lose by a slight margin.
If it had happened once or twice, it could have been a coincidence.
But for this to occur six times in a row?
"Is Galaxy Prime deliberately hiding his strength?"
The Ninth-Tier Celestial Feather Clan expert came to a realization.
"Is he trying to deceive us into offering our Ninth-Tier treasures? How despicable!"
Anger rose within the Ninth-Tier Celestial Feather Clan expert. While seven or eight Ninth-Tier treasures might not seem like much to the entire clan, for an individual, even for someone like him, a Ninth-Tier expert, it far exceeded his entire net worth.
And now, these treasures, enough to make a typical Ninth-Tier lifeform envious, had all been handed over to Galaxy Prime?
"There's no need to send more people to hold back Galaxy Prime. Abandon battlefield B0001 and retreat immediately." Just then, a voice echoed in the Ninth-Tier Celestial Feather Clan expert's ear.
"Our clan's think tank," the Ninth-Tier Celestial Feather Clan expert's expression changed slightly.
The voice he heard belonged to a member of the Celestial Feather Clan's think tank.
For the think tank to make such a decision, there could only be one possibility.
In the think tank's analysis and speculation, the Celestial Feather Clan no longer had any chance of winning this war.
"Galaxy Prime."
The Ninth-Tier Celestial Feather Clan expert turned his gaze towards Galaxy Prime once more.
At the start of the war, the think tank had predicted an eighty percent chance of victory for the Celestial Feather Clan.
But now, with the order to retreat, it was as good as admitting defeat.
The only difference between now and then was the presence of Galaxy Prime on the battlefield.
"Full retreat."
The Ninth-Tier Celestial Feather Clan expert immediately began issuing orders.
In a medium-scale battlefield, Ninth-Tier experts were not allowed to interfere with the war directly or personally. However, they were permitted to issue orders for retreat.
On the battlefield, numerous Eighth-Tier invincibles of the Celestial Feather Clan watched helplessly as their clan's geniuses perished one by one after engaging with Galaxy Prime. Unwillingness welled up within them.
"If I had a Ninth-Tier treasure, I should be able to hold on for a little longer."
"Indeed, I can see that Galaxy Prime is struggling to cope."
"Yes, it's just a matter of time."
The Eighth-Tier invincibles of the Celestial Feather Clan whispered among themselves, expressing their opinions.
Suddenly—
A cold voice rang out in the ears of all the Eighth-Tier invincibles.
"Full retreat!"
This order caused their expressions to change drastically.
They recognized the owner of this voice—it belonged to the Ninth-Tier Celestial Feather Clan expert overseeing this war!
"Retreat!"
"Are we all retreating?"
"Does our clan think we have no hope of winning?"
Although the Eighth-Tier invincibles were puzzled, they were on the battlefield, and obeying orders was an ironclad rule, especially when it came from a Ninth-Tier expert of their own clan.
In an instant.
The Eighth-Tier invincibles began to frantically retreat towards the rear.
High above.
Lin Yuan waited for a moment but didn't encounter another Celestial Feather Clan genius with a Ninth-Tier treasure.
At the same time, he sensed the Celestial Feather Clan's Eighth-Tier invincibles beginning their frantic escape.
"Hmm?"
"Have you noticed it too?"
Lin Yuan sighed inwardly. Ever since the Celestial Feather Clan sent their second genius with a Ninth-Tier treasure, he had a thought—to deliberately suppress his strength and give them the hope of holding him back.
This would prompt them to send more powerful experts with Ninth-Tier treasures.
By pretending for just a while and wasting half an hour or so, he could obtain a Ninth-Tier treasure worth hundreds of thousands of universe crystals.
This was a very profitable trade.
However, the Celestial Feather Clan was quick to react.
Upon realizing something was amiss, they chose to abandon the war and ordered all the Eighth-Tier invincibles to retreat.
"Since that's the case..."
Lin Yuan turned his gaze towards the fleeing Eighth-Tier invincibles of the Celestial Feather Clan.
"Then I shall begin my slaughter!"
