Chapter 301: You're Not Newly Entered into the Ninth Stage?
Chapter 301: You're Not Newly Entered into the Ninth Stage? (End of Chapter)
The three-headed alien planned to make a move against the Galaxy Starlord, and there were three main reasons for this decision.
First, the Galaxy Starlord had only recently advanced into the ninth stage. How strong could he truly be?
The alien, a powerful existence at the Ninth Stage Myriad Realm, believed that even if the Galaxy Starlord possessed extraordinary talent and beauty, the most he could achieve was to fail to kill his opponent. He was confident in his ability to retreat unscathed.
The Insectoid Federation and the Human Federation were already bitter enemies. Whether or not he made a move against the Galaxy Starlord, the enmity between them would remain unchanged. Since he had the chance to kill him, he would not hesitate.
Second, this was the Xuanhuang Secret Realm. Most of the powerful beings who entered this secret realm were likely to be projections, and the Galaxy Starlord was no exception.
Since it was a projection, it was unlikely to carry any trump cards or treasures. If the three-headed alien had encountered the true body of the Galaxy Starlord, he would probably not have acted so rashly.
Given the Galaxy Starlord's talent and endowment, the Human Federation must have left numerous backup plans in place. But being merely at the Ninth Stage, what could he do to withstand the backlash of a peak tribe's countermeasures?
However, in the Xuanhuang Secret Realm, and with the knowledge that it was likely a projection, the three-headed alien believed he had a good chance of success.
Third, there was the reward offered by the Insectoids. They were willing to go to great lengths to slow down the growth of the Galaxy Starlord.
On another note, Lin Yuan easily defeated the hundred-meter-tall bear and casually took the 'Xuanhuang' crystal.
The bear was only at the initial stages of the ninth stage, and its core 'Xuanhuang' crystal was the size of a thumb, worth no more than thousands of universe crystals.
But Lin Yuan didn't mind the small gain. It was like getting something for nothing.
"This trip into the 'Xuanhuang' Secret Realm is profitable, regardless of whether or not I can figure out the 'calling sensation'," Lin Yuan thought joyfully.
These were all sources of wealth and power.
Just as Lin Yuan was about to merge with the spatial layers and continue on his journey.
Buzz.
Black mist began to permeate the area from all directions, shrouding the countless spatial layers. It gradually condensed into a black cage that encompassed over twenty thousand spatial layers, with Lin Yuan at its center.
"Oh?"
Lin Yuan's expression changed slightly.
"Is it an alien?"
With a slight movement of his mind, Lin Yuan also entered the spatial layers.
While the indigenous life forms of the Xuanhuang Secret Realm were powerful, their attack methods were rather rigid and lacked the subtlety of this black mist that sought to trap him.
"Galaxy Starlord!"
Just as the black mist solidified into a cage, a three-headed alien stepped forward with a smile on his face. "Who would've thought that I would encounter the famous Galaxy Starlord here?"
"It's you?"
"Olifan!"
Lin Yuan had originally planned to escape the black cage first.
The black cage encompassed over twenty thousand spatial layers, and for a Ninth Stage powerhouse whose spatial layers were less than that number, breaking free wouldn't be easy.
However, Lin Yuan had opened up forty-three thousand spatial layers, far surpassing the depth of the black cage.
Thus, escaping the cage was a simple task.
But when Lin Yuan saw who was attacking him, he had other ideas.
The three-headed alien was named 'Olifan', a somewhat renowned Ninth Stage powerhouse from the Insectoid Federation. He had opened up twenty-six thousand spatial layers.
Based on the number of spatial layers alone, Lin Yuan could easily overpower Olifan.
Not to mention Lin Yuan's true strength; with his inner world spanning over a hundred million li, his actual power rivaled that of powerhouses with hundreds of thousands of spatial layers.
And facing Olifan, this executioner from the Insectoid Federation who had slain countless human evolvers on the grand alien battlefield, Lin Yuan also harbored murderous intentions.
The main reasons were that Olifan had taken the initiative to approach him, his strength was far inferior to Lin Yuan's, and there were no other Ninth Stage powerhouses from the Insectoid Federation nearby to provide support.
"Die."
The three-headed alien didn't waste any time with words, believing that he had the advantage. The faster he could kill the Galaxy Starlord, the better, to prevent any unforeseen complications.
Rumble.
The black mist that permeated the area began to contract, and the three-headed alien's body dispersed, merging with the surrounding black cage and becoming one with the space itself.
This was the three-headed alien's ultimate move, utilizing his racial talent to completely merge with the space around him.
He wasn't merely entering the various spatial layers; he was becoming one with them.
"Galaxy Starlord, don't blame me," the three-headed alien said with a smile, anticipating the moment when the black mist would crush the Galaxy Starlord into dust.
Killing a human genius, even if it was just a projection, would bring great satisfaction to the three-headed alien.
However.
The next moment.
Lin Yuan raised his right hand and gently grabbed at the space in front of him.
This grab wasn't limited to the main space but encompassed all the spatial layers, drawing every bit of the black mist into his palm.
Olifan, who had merged with the black mist, thought he had the upper hand, but he now found himself within Lin Yuan's grasp as well.
"This is—" The three-headed alien's expression changed drastically, and he tried to escape into the deeper spatial layers. However, he realized that no matter which layer he fled to, he would still have to face Lin Yuan's grasp.
"You're not newly entered into the Ninth Stage?" The three-headed alien was filled with disbelief and regret, only managing to utter those words before Lin Yuan's right hand clenched tightly, reducing all the black mist and the three-headed alien himself to nothingness.
A Ninth Stage Myriad Realm three-headed alien had perished.
"With this strength, you dared to come and kill me?" Lin Yuan shook his head.
If the three-headed alien had fled the moment he saw Lin Yuan, he might have survived, as Lin Yuan didn't want to cause too much of a commotion in the Xuanhuang Secret Realm.
But since he had taken the initiative to attack, Lin Yuan didn't hold back.
"Let's see what's in the spatial ring," Lin Yuan said as he took the spatial ring from the three-headed alien.
When he crushed the three-headed alien, Lin Yuan had intentionally left a bit of leeway to ensure that he didn't destroy the spatial ring in the process.
If the spatial ring were to shatter, the treasures within would be randomly scattered across the countless spatial layers, and while Lin Yuan could find them all, it would be a waste of time.
"How poor. At the Ninth Stage Myriad Realm, you only have two Ninth Stage secret treasures?"
"And a few 'Xuanhuang' crystals that add up to just over two hundred thousand universe crystals?"
Lin Yuan scanned the contents briefly and sighed inwardly.
However, he understood that entering the Xuanhuang Secret Realm was dangerous, and no one could guarantee their safe return. Naturally, one wouldn't carry too many treasures with them.
Just like Lin Yuan, aside from the three Ninth Stage secret treasures, he didn't bring any other valuables. His most precious items, like the Origin Essence Metal, would be kept with his true body for safety.
The three-headed alien's target was likely the inner or even the core area of the Xuanhuang Secret Realm. The fact that he didn't have many 'Xuanhuang' crystals was understandable, as he probably hadn't actively sought out indigenous life forms in the outer regions to kill.
"Let's continue."
Lin Yuan once again delved deeper into the spatial layers, following the increasingly clear 'calling sensation' towards the core region of the Xuanhuang Secret Realm.
In a distant desolate star field.
The true body of the three-headed alien powerhouse emerged from a star.
But based on the numerous spatial layers he had just fled to, only to be easily sealed off by the Galaxy Starlord, it was clear that the number of layers the Galaxy Starlord had opened far exceeded his own.
It must be known that the three-headed alien had entered the Ninth Stage dozens of millennia ago. As for the Galaxy Starlord, had it been more than a decade?
"How freakishly powerful is that Galaxy Starlord?" The three-headed alien's heart trembled as he thought of how the Galaxy Starlord had not only swept through other Eighth Stage undefeatable beings with an absolutely undefeatable stance but had also made tremendous progress in his battle prowess upon entering the Ninth Stage.
"Galaxy Starlord!"
The three-headed alien was filled with unwillingness, thinking that if he had known the Galaxy Starlord possessed such strength, he would never have taken the initiative to come knocking.
"This is going to be a big loss."
The three-headed alien, Olifan, took a deep breath. The death of his clone wasn't considered a significant loss to him, and as for the two Ninth Stage secret treasures his clone carried, he could accept their loss as well.
With Olifan's strength, it would take at most several decades to condense another clone, and it would take another one or two decades to raise the clone's strength to a level close to his true body.
Both together would take around a hundred years.
A hundred years was but a blink of an eye for a Ninth Stage powerhouse in the vastness of their lifespan.
But now, it was the opening of the Xuanhuang Secret Realm.
And the Xuanhuang Secret Realm only opened for a hundred years before closing again.
In other words, the loss of this clone meant that Olifan had lost his chance with this opening of the Xuanhuang Secret Realm.
Unless he was willing to enter the Xuanhuang Secret Realm with his true body.
But Olifan didn't have the guts to do that. If a clone died, it died, and he could always condense another.
But if his true body died, then it was a permanent death. Olifan's tribe was only a powerful one, and they had no peak expert to revive him.
Who knew when they would be able to revive him, if ever?
"Xuanhuang Secret Realm..."
Olifan's heart bled as he thought about how he had originally planned to make a killing during this opening of the Xuanhuang Secret Realm. With his strength, as long as he stayed away from the core region and kept his distance from the few key positions in the inner region, he would be mostly safe.
As long as he didn't die, he would be able to leave the Xuanhuang Secret Realm with treasures worth tens of millions, if not hundreds of millions, of universe crystals.
But now, all that was gone.
Time passed.
In the blink of an eye, five years went by.
"I'm about to enter the inner region."
Within the layers of space, Lin Yuan cautiously hurried on his journey.
The Xuanhuang Secret Realm was boundless, with the outer region being the smallest, and the inner region being much larger.
As for the core region? No strong being had ever truly grasped the full extent of the core region.
"Teacher obtained the Xuanhuang evolution path in a certain place within the inner region back then," Lin Yuan thought to himself.
Within the Xuanhuang Secret Realm, Eighth Stage undefeatables, though they had the qualifications to enter, had a difficult time surviving.
The weakest indigenous lifeforms within the realm were comparable to those who had just entered the Ninth Stage, which meant that Eighth Stage undefeatables would find themselves in a situation where they couldn't defeat anyone.
If they encountered an indigenous lifeform that was slightly stronger, they wouldn't even be able to escape.
And this was without considering the threats posed by other alien strong beings.
In the main universe's main space, numerous Ninth Stage powerhouses were constrained by the several peak tribes and were unable to act rashly.
But in the Xuanhuang Secret Realm, there were no such restrictions. Ninth Stage powerhouses encountering Eighth Stage undefeatables would usually result in the latter's swift demise, especially if they were from different factions.
Even faced with all these threats, there were still countless Eighth Stage undefeatables pouring into the Xuanhuang Secret Realm.
After all, the worst that could happen was the death of a clone, but if one managed to gain something, it would be a quantum leap in their foundation.
Lin Yuan glanced at the location where Teacher Chi Kun Starlord had obtained the Xuanhuang evolution path back then.
If it weren't for this 'calling sensation' coming from the core region, Lin Yuan would probably have gone to check it out to see if he could discover any information related to the 'Xuanhuang' Secret Realm.
But now that the 'calling sensation' was so strong, Lin Yuan naturally prioritized following it.
Swoosh!
Lin Yuan continued on his journey at a swift pace.
Just then, a surge of energy erupted from the yellowish-brown mountains in the distance.
This surge of energy was so vast that it affected an area spanning billions of li.
"Is there a treasure appearing?"
Lin Yuan immediately understood what was happening.
Within the Xuanhuang Secret Realm, there were many treasures and precious artifacts hidden in various locations, also known as 'opportunity grounds'.
When these treasures and artifacts appeared, they would trigger heavenly phenomena.
Other strong beings would sense this phenomenon and rush over, naturally aiming to reach the location of the treasure as quickly as possible.
"Stay away from it."
Lin Yuan was clear about his position and purpose.
In terms of strength, his upper limit was close to that of a Ninth Stage powerhouse with a million heavy realms, but he knew that he would likely lose if he encountered a true powerhouse at that level.
Not to mention a Ninth Stage powerhouse with a thousand million heavy realms.
With the opening of the Xuanhuang Secret Realm, there weren't many Ninth Stage powerhouses with a thousand million heavy realms who had entered, but there were definitely quite a few, all seeking their breakthrough opportunity.
And the opportunity ground in that direction, based on the heavenly phenomenon it had triggered, would give rise to a treasure of at least the ten-star universe wonder level.
It would undoubtedly attract numerous Ninth Stage powerhouses with a million or thousand million heavy realms to compete for it.
As expected, before long, Lin Yuan sensed terrifying fluctuations coming from the direction of the yellowish-brown mountains.
The aftershocks of the battle rippled through thousands of millions of layers of space, an endless onslaught.
"There's probably a Ninth Stage powerhouse with close to a thousand million heavy realms making a move," Lin Yuan thought to himself.
A Ninth Stage powerhouse with a thousand million heavy realms could instantaneously affect a thousand million layers of space with their battle, and their destructive power was terrifying. As long as you were within those thousand million layers of space, you couldn't escape their attacks or slaughter.
"It has nothing to do with me anyway."
Lin Yuan continued on his way towards the core region.
The appearance of an opportunity ground of this scale in the inner region was not only not a bad thing for Lin Yuan but also a good thing.
At the very least, it attracted the attention of many Ninth Stage powerhouses with a million or thousand million heavy realms.
Lin Yuan's journey ahead would be much smoother, and the probability of encountering alien strong beings that he couldn't handle would be greatly reduced.
Galaxy Main Planet.
Lin Yuan slowly opened his eyes.
"Everything is going smoothly in the Xuanhuang Secret Realm so far," Lin Yuan thought to himself. The Sun Primordial Spirit had merged with the layers of space and was rapidly making its way towards the core region.
However, due to the vastness of the inner region, it would take at least a decade or two to cross such a large area without the aid of instant spatial movement.
"Now that I think about it, I've never challenged the Black Tower's third level since entering the Ninth Stage," Lin Yuan's heart stirred as he immediately split off a strand of consciousness and descended into the Demon Jade Space through the Demon Jade imprint.
