Chapter 303: Another Tremor from the Myriad Worlds Gate (End of Chapter)
"Where is the enemy?"
Xiolan was perplexed. How could that massive figure behind him, stirring through layers upon layers of space, remain unseen?
The chase between Xiolan and the colossal figure had not been subtle, even with the vast distance and different spatial layers, the disturbance in their wake could still be felt.
This was why Xiolan feared unforeseen variables.
"Galaxy Master Lin, the 'Mado' Pursuer chasing me is powerful, nearing the ninth-stage million fold realm. Even if we join forces, we won't be able to withstand him," Xiolan said hastily.
The only reason he had managed to escape 'Mado' Pursuer until now was due to his unique evolutionary path and his mastery of a secret escape art.
But Lin Yuan did not possess these advantages.
Once the 'Mado' Pursuer fixed its gaze on him, the consequences would be unthinkable.
"Galaxy Master Lin, please stay away from us at all costs," Xiolan reminded once more.
Although it had been five years since the news of Lin Yuan's slaying of the three-headed alien 'Olifan' spread, 'Olifan' was merely a ninth-stage myriad fold realm expert who had opened up a mere twenty thousand fold space layer. This was nothing compared to the 'Mado' Pursuer, who had opened up over nine hundred thousand fold space layers.
"It's fine, head towards me," Lin Yuan transmitted his voice through the black disc.
"You want me to go to you?" Xiolan immediately realized.
Lin Yuan hadn't missed the formidable 'Mado' Pursuer due to oversight, but because he had his own trump card.
Although Xiolan didn't know how Lin Yuan planned to counter the Pursuer, who was nearly at the million fold realm, his time spent with Galaxy Master Lin had given him insight into the other's character.
Xiolan was clear about Galaxy Master Lin's personality – he was definitely not the type to be arrogant and conceited.
Since Galaxy Master Lin was asking him to come over, he must be confident in dealing with the 'Mado' Pursuer.
"Alright," Xiolan didn't hesitate and started changing his direction to approach Lin Yuan.
"Galaxy Master Lin, while that 'Mado' Pursuer was distracted, I took a treasure that he had been guarding for a long time," Xiolan explained the whole story as he drew closer to Lin Yuan.
The 'Mado' Pursuer was the offspring of a powerful ancient god from the depths of the cosmic starry space.
That ancient god had not participated in the universal race war, and the 'Mado' Pursuer didn't hold much grudge against humanity.
The 'Mado' Pursuer had been chasing Xiolan for so long purely because he had been enraged by him.
And indeed, the treasure was no ordinary item; although it might not be a ten-star wonder, it was close.
Whoosh.
Lin Yuan and Xiolan successfully reunited.
Soon after, the massive 'Mado' Pursuer also arrived in pursuit.
"Galaxy Master Lin!" The 'Mado' Pursuer quickly recognized Lin Yuan. There was no way he could have missed the fame of Galaxy Master Lin, even the strongest beings had heard of him.
"Mado Pursuer." Lin Yuan's tone was calm. "The Xuanhuang Secret Realm is full of opportunities. If you spent as much time pursuing them as you have chasing us, you might have found your next opportunity by now."
"Galaxy Master Lin, are you going to blatantly favor your clansman like this?" The 'Mado' Pursuer felt annoyed. "Even if it's for your sake, Galaxy Master Lin, I won't hand over that treasure today."
Normally, the 'Mado' Pursuer would have been happy to give Galaxy Master Lin face.
With Lin Yuan's potential, it was almost certain that he would reach the ninth-stage thousand fold realm in the future. Offending such a formidable future powerhouse was not something the 'Mado' Pursuer would do lightly.
There was no room for reconciliation between the Insect Tribe, the Celestial Feather Tribe, and humanity, but he, the 'Mado' Pursuer, didn't have any direct grudge with humanity or Galaxy Master Lin.
In the cosmic starry space, it was always good to have more friends than enemies.
But now, the 'Mado' Pursuer couldn't swallow this grudge.
"If that's the case, then let's begin," Lin Yuan said directly.
Rumble rumble.
The two instantly entered deeper into the layers of space and engaged in battle.
Not far away.
Xiolan cautiously sensed the terrifying fluctuations emanating from the depths of the spatial layers.
"Has Galaxy Master Lin clashed with the 'Mado' Pursuer?" Xiolan mumbled to himself. "And this battle doesn't seem one-sided?"
Xiolan dared not approach the area where Lin Yuan and the 'Mado' Pursuer were fighting, but he could gauge the overall situation from the fluctuations caused by their battle.
Xiolan's eyes were somewhat dull as he thought about Galaxy Master Lin's incredible growth. He still remembered how, not long ago, he had escorted Galaxy Master Lin to his home planet.
Back then, Galaxy Master Lin had just entered the ninth stage and seemed ignorant of many things. Yet, in the blink of an eye, he had reached a level where he could rival the 'Mado' Pursuer?
"Too terrifying."
"As expected of the most dazzling genius in the history of our human civilization."
Xiolan swallowed his saliva. Back on the alien battlefield, he had been thinking about how to protect Lin Yuan from being assassinated by the ninth-stage strongman from the Celestial Feather Tribe.
Yet now, it was Lin Yuan's turn to protect him?
Their roles had reversed, and the interval between these two states was extremely short.
Deep within the layers of space.
Lin Yuan and the 'Mado' Pursuer faced each other across dozens of spatial layers.
"Galaxy Master Lin, I didn't expect your strength to be so formidable. You almost managed to heavily injure me?" The 'Mado' Pursuer stared at Lin Yuan intently, his heart trembling.
Earlier, when he and Galaxy Master Lin had delved deeper into the layers of space and clashed, the 'Mado' Pursuer had felt an unfathomable force piercing through his body.
If it weren't for his awakened 'Ancient God' talent and his timely retreat, he might have suffered serious injuries.
Talent?
Secret art?
Treasure?
Or something else?
The 'Mado' Pursuer was filled with doubt and confusion.
Initially, he had thought that he could suppress Galaxy Master Lin. Even if Lin Yuan might surpass him in the future, the 'Mado' Pursuer believed that he was still stronger than Lin Yuan at the moment.
But after their brief exchange, the 'Mado' Pursuer immediately concluded that he couldn't handle Galaxy Master Lin.
Not only could he not overpower Lin Yuan, but if he continued to stay, there was also a risk of being caught off guard and suffering a defeat.
"What a pity."
Lin Yuan's expression was calm, but he felt a bit of regret.
In terms of space layer cultivation, Lin Yuan was inferior to the 'Mado' Pursuer.
However, the world within Lin Yuan's body was vast – over a hundred million square li in size. When it erupted with power, it could surpass the might of a million fold space layer.
Fortunately, the 'Mado' Pursuer was cautious and hadn't lost his rationality despite his anger. He didn't completely underestimate Lin Yuan.
Otherwise, based on their previous contact, Lin Yuan was confident that he could make the Pursuer pay a hefty price.
"Galaxy Master Lin, let's end this matter here," the 'Mado' Pursuer immediately backed down. He understood that with the strength Lin Yuan had just displayed, he had no hope of obtaining that treasure.
"Let me give you a heads-up. The Celestial Feather Tribe's 'Huny' is searching for you everywhere, intending to kill this clone of yours to avenge his loss on the battlefield."
"'Huny' is the most powerful ninth-stage lifeform of the Celestial Feather Tribe in this era. He has opened up over thirty million fold space layers. Although you are strong, if you encounter 'Huny', you won't even be able to escape," the 'Mado' Pursuer immediately added, proactively offering a piece of secret intelligence to ease the tension between them.
Since he had confirmed that he had no chance with that treasure, there was no point in offending Galaxy Master Lin to the point of no return.
After all, he couldn't catch up.
The more spatial layers one opened, the more layers one could instantly occupy, appearing in an instant between countless layers of space.
While Lin Yuan's frontal assault prowess exceeded that of a million-layer spatial powerhouse, he fell short in other aspects.
Normally, by relying on certain special secret arts and treasures, life forms with lower spatial layers could potentially escape the pursuit of those with higher layers.
For example, Xiolan had just barely escaped from the clutches of Mado Walker.
However, it was impossible for a lower spatial layer life form to pursue a higher one, regardless of strength.
The chase between ninth-stage powerhouses through the layers of space had nothing to do with speed.
"Huny of the Celestial Feather Tribe?" Lin Yuan's expression turned slightly solemn as he recalled Mado Walker's warning.
Typically, a ninth-stage powerhouse would only need to open up a thousand-fold space layer to meet the threshold for challenging the tenth stage, but Huny had derived and opened up over thirty million-fold layers of space, making his strength absolutely superior to that of other ninth-stage powerhouses. Huny was undoubtedly one of the strongest among the numerous ninth-stage powerhouses who had entered the Xuanhuang Secret Realm this time.
"However, it won't be easy for Huny to find me in this vast Xuanhuang Secret Realm."
Lin Yuan shook his head slightly. While he was no match for Huny, this formidable ninth-stage powerhouse of the Celestial Feather Tribe couldn't pinpoint Lin Yuan's location directly.
Deep within the layers of space...
Mado Walker, who had already departed, still felt a lingering sense of dread.
"I should've known better. I should've just given up on that treasure as soon as I realized Galaxy Master Lin's strength." Mado Walker began to reflect on his actions.
His ancient god ancestor wasn't the strongest among the ancient gods, but he led a very comfortable life, maintaining good relations with all the major races.
His secret was simple – he didn't offend anyone.
But now, Mado Walker had offended Galaxy Master Lin.
"At least the intelligence I provided should help make up for it a little," Mado Walker sighed in relief.
Not many knew that Huny of the Celestial Feather Tribe was searching for Galaxy Master Lin, and Mado Walker was one of the few who did thanks to his connection with his ancient god ancestor.
Huny had promised a reward to anyone who could provide information on Galaxy Master Lin's whereabouts.
However, Mado Walker wasn't thinking about the reward at the moment. All he wanted was to somehow improve Galaxy Master Lin's impression of him, even if it couldn't be positive, at least not negative.
After Mado Walker left...
Lin Yuan returned to Xiolan's side.
"It's fine now. We're safe," Lin Yuan said with a smile.
"Did Mado Walker leave?" Xiolan asked, unable to hide his curiosity.
"Yes," Lin Yuan nodded.
"Galaxy Master Lin, your strength..." Xiolan was still shaken, despite having some idea of Lin Yuan's capabilities.
Mado Walker's temperament was far more impulsive and hot-headed than that of his ancient god ancestor.
The only way to make Mado Walker back down was to teach him a painful lesson, to make him think twice about continuing the pursuit.
And the fact that Lin Yuan had achieved this meant that his strength surpassed that of Mado Walker.
Mado Walker had opened up over ninety thousand-fold layers of space, nearing the million-fold realm of the ninth stage, yet Lin Yuan was stronger than him?
Xiolan's perception of the world seemed to shatter at this realization.
He had been at the ninth stage for almost a million years, and the layers of space he had opened numbered only slightly over sixty thousand-fold. His strength was far inferior to that of Mado Walker.
Yet now, Lin Yuan, who had only recently reached the ninth stage, had already surpassed Mado Walker?
"Let's not talk about that anymore," Lin Yuan said.
"We should change locations."
Lin Yuan led Xiolan deeper into the layers of space.
Several days later, the two finally stopped.
"Mado Walker said that Huny of the Celestial Feather Tribe is looking for me," Lin Yuan stated directly.
"Huny?" Xiolan's face changed slightly at the mention of the name.
He had come to greatly fear this strongest ninth-stage powerhouse of the Celestial Feather Tribe.
On the large alien battlefield, Huny's display of power had been awe-inspiring. With his tens of millions of layers of space, he had easily suppressed dozens of ninth-stage powerhouses in the thousand-fold realm.
The fact that such a formidable being was now searching for Lin Yuan's whereabouts was disturbing.
Xiolan's expression turned grim.
"How shameless!" he exclaimed.
While Lin Yuan had indeed caused the Celestial Feather Tribe to lose face on the battlefield, it was unthinkable that they would deploy such a powerful expert in retaliation.
"We must be extra cautious from now on," Xiolan said, steeling himself.
"Of course," Lin Yuan agreed.
Even without Huny, he would have been extremely careful in the Xuanhuang Secret Realm.
"By the way," Lin Yuan continued, "tell me about that opportunity place that made Mado Walker so furious." He was a little curious.
Mado Walker usually tried to emulate his ancestor, the ancient god who was adept at navigating complex relationships and rarely offended any faction. For him to throw caution to the wind and relentlessly pursue Xiolan, he must have been truly enraged.
"Hahaha!"
Xiolan's face lit up with a smile at Lin Yuan's question.
"That opportunity place belonged to a follower of 'His Majesty'," Xiolan explained without hesitation.
When it came to Lin Yuan, he had no secrets.
If not for Lin Yuan, he would still be on the run from Mado Walker, and his clone might have already perished.
"'His Majesty'?" Lin Yuan asked, nodding in encouragement.
Within the Xuanhuang Secret Realm, the term 'His Majesty' had appeared in many opportunity places.
Most of the treasures in these opportunity places belonged to followers of this great 'His Majesty'.
"This follower had a mysterious background. He accidentally stumbled into a dimensional rift and fell into our dimension, only to be saved by 'His Majesty'," Xiolan explained in a slightly awed tone.
The concept of dimensional rifts wasn't a closely guarded secret.
Dimensions were a higher concept that transcended the rules of space. Even twelfth-stage life forms, ultimate beings, and those who had reached the end of their cultivation paths couldn't break through dimensions.
However, there was a minuscule chance that a rift could form between dimensions, and if one could survive entering such a rift, they might find themselves in another dimension.
But this chance was minuscule, so minuscule that even ultimate beings couldn't detect the existence of dimensional rifts, and these rifts would heal themselves within a few breaths.
"According to the owner of that opportunity place, this item was his most precious treasure," Xiolan continued, extending his right hand.
A black sphere appeared before them, floating in the air and slowly rotating while emitting a mysterious aura.
"But I've studied it for a long time and haven't found anything special about it," Xiolan said, a puzzled look on his face.
"Hmm?" Lin Yuan had only been mildly curious up to this point.
However, the moment the black sphere appeared, his expression turned solemn.
At that same moment...
The majestic Myriad Worlds Gate deep within his mind began to tremble slightly.
