Chapter 330: Lin Yuan and Hun Yi
Chapter 330: Lin Yuan and Hun Yi (End of Chapter)
Before Lin Yuan's ninth shuttle, he casually mentioned to Xi Lan that his elders were on their way, in an attempt to give her some hope.
It wasn't entirely a lie. The term 'elder' implied a being capable of opposing Hun Yi. As long as Lin Yuan safely made it through the ninth shuttle and his strength surged, he himself would become an 'elder'.
Even without the aid of a divine rank, Lin Yuan expected that the thousand years spent shuttling through worlds would allow him to cultivate to the ninth tier with ten million layers of the Qi Refining realm.
With an internal world spanning over 100 million li, even if there was a gap between him and Hun Yi in terms of space layer development, his overall strength would still be on par.
Moreover, the actual gains from this shuttle far exceeded Lin Yuan's expectations before he began.
"Internal world."
Lin Yuan observed his own internal world.
The return of his mental will had no effect on the size of his internal world. After all, he needed to absorb all the liquid from the mysterious gourd before it could recover to its previous size of nearly 200 million li.
However, the depth of his internal world, or the space layers, was expanding at a terrifying rate – million layers, ten million layers...
To open space layers, one needed to comprehend the profound nature of space. With Lin Yuan's current understanding, he could restore his space layers to 2.31 billion layers in a short period of time.
"Let's go out."
Lin Yuan looked up. With his current mastery over space layers, he could easily see the outside world, despite the isolation of Xi Lan's internal world.
"Go out?"
Xi Lan was bewildered. Did Lin Yuan's 'elder' arrive?
But Xi Lan didn't sense the approach of any ninth-tier powerhouse? Although there were many ninth-tier exotic tribes watching from a distance, their revealed auras didn't seem like they could hold off Hun Yi?
The next moment, right before Xi Lan's eyes, Lin Yuan's figure disappeared from where he stood.
"Did Galaxy Master leave?"
Xi Lan was taken aback by this turn of events.
Without his permission, Galaxy Master had left his internal world? As the opener of this internal world, Xi Lan was like a god within it, capable of controlling all its power. Even a ninth-tier powerhouse like Hun Yi, who had opened over 30 million space layers, would be trapped within Xi Lan's internal world if he didn't agree to let them leave.
The only way out without Xi Lan's consent would be to forcibly shatter the internal world.
As for leaving quietly? Perhaps a tenth or eleventh-tier powerhouse could achieve that, as their understanding of the nature of space had reached an unimaginable level, allowing them to ignore the existence of the internal world's opener.
But how did Lin Yuan do it? Xi Lan couldn't comprehend it, nor could he figure it out. However, he soon realized something.
Galaxy Master had left, and outside, the strongest ninth-tier expert of the Tianyu Tribe, Hun Yi, was in pursuit.
Without Xi Lan's protection, Galaxy Master would likely be captured by Hun Yi in an instant.
"This is bad."
Xi Lan's consciousness avatar in his internal world dissipated.
Outside.
Xi Lan was using various escape techniques from the evolution path of the void, slipping through the gaps between space layers to escape Hun Yi as much as possible.
Just then—
Whoosh!
Lin Yuan's figure suddenly appeared beside Xi Lan.
Hun Yi, who was in hot pursuit, paused for a moment before breaking into joyful laughter.
If Lin Yuan continued to hide in Xi Lan's internal world, he might have been able to prolong his life for a little while longer under Hun Yi's relentless chase.
But for him to come out voluntarily? Moreover, Lin Yuan didn't continue to flee after leaving, but instead stood there quietly.
Whoosh!
Xi Lan, who had escaped to a distant place, also returned to Lin Yuan's side.
"Galaxy Master," Xi Lan said gravely. He could keenly sense that in the moment they stopped, Hun Yi seized the opportunity to completely seal off all the surrounding space layers.
In other words, Xi Lan and Galaxy Master were now like turtles in a jar, at Hun Yi's mercy.
At the same time.
The numerous ninth-tier exotic tribes who had been watching from a distance also noticed that Galaxy Master had appeared voluntarily and showed no intention of escaping.
"Has Galaxy Master given up all hope? Does he not even want to try to escape?"
"It seems so. He should have done this a long time ago. With Hun Yi in pursuit, any human evolutionist of the same level in the vicinity would be doomed no matter how they tried to escape. It's just a waste of time."
"Yes, if he had self-destructed his clone at the start of the chase, he might have been able to reconstitute half of his second clone by now."
The ninth-tier exotic tribes discussed amongst themselves, with no intention of leaving. It was a rare opportunity to witness the fall of a human civilization's genius, even if it was just a clone.
Human civilization valued geniuses greatly, and most of the time, they were protected at all costs. Even on exotic battlefields, there would be high-level evolutionists paying special attention to them.
However, in the Xuanhuang Secret Realm, things were different. The Secret Realm had a unique origin, prohibiting the entry of tenth-tier and above powerhouses, and even the strongest beings were unable to peer into it.
Here, geniuses of human civilization had to face countless dangers on their own.
Like now, Galaxy Master was facing the pursuit of Hun Yi.
"The critical moment is near," said Masado the Walker, his tension rising as he raised his right hand. A vortex in the shape of a black hole slowly rotated in his palm.
This life-saving trump card was a gift from Masado's ancient god ancestor, containing a portion of the essence of the time rule.
Masado's ancient god ancestor was incredibly ancient and had long since comprehended the complete time rule. Even so, he had paid a hefty price to create this life-saving trump card.
It couldn't be helped.
Compared to the reproductive capabilities of human civilization.
Most of the ancient gods in the depths of the cosmic universe were of special origin, their innate talents terrifyingly strong, but their reproductive capabilities were pitifully weak. Some unique beings were even completely devoid of reproductive capabilities, solitary in the vast universe with no kin.
Thus, Masado's ancient god ancestor greatly valued this descendant and was willing to pay a price to create this life-saving trump card for him.
Deep in the cosmic universe.
Masado's true body immediately informed his ancestor of the events transpiring within the Xuanhuang Secret Realm.
"Has Galaxy Master revealed himself?" The ancient god ancestor's body was massive, his very presence affecting the time and space around him. He stroked his chin and said, "Wait until Galaxy Master is at the brink of life and death, then activate the 'Time Black Hole' I gave you."
"Do you understand?"
"Do not hesitate in the slightest."
The ancient god ancestor reminded, aware that their intervention would be too late if Galaxy Master was killed by Hun Yi.
If they had acted earlier, before Galaxy Master had lost all hope, their gesture would not have carried as much weight.
"I understand, Ancestor."
"I am ready."
Masado nodded. Although he didn't know why his ancestor valued Galaxy Master so much that he was willing to offend the Tianyu Tribe, he trusted in his ancestor's judgment.
Over the long years, his ancestor had navigated skillfully between the peak tribes, not as a strongest being, but with unparalleled insight. He had even 'sponsored' two strongest beings before they rose to prominence.
"Hahaha, Galaxy Master, it seems you are aware of your fate.
With countless space layers already under his control, Hun Yi could easily shift Lin Yuan into his internal world with a mere thought.
So, at this moment, Hun Yi examined Lin Yuan with a playful gaze, having chased him for nearly three years, and feeling quite irritated.
He wanted to thoroughly humiliate the Galaxy Master.
Hun Yi was also aware that the Galaxy Master could self-destruct his clone at any moment, and he knew there was no way he could bring the Galaxy Master back to his tribe alive.
"Galaxy Master, you still refuse to self-destruct even now. It seems you're quite resentful?" Hun Yi said with a smile.
He also knew that the Galaxy Master possessed extraordinary talent and would have no difficulty reaching the tenth tier, and might even surpass him one day.
But so what? At least for now, he, Hun Yi, could easily crush the Galaxy Master.
"Hun Yi," Lin Yuan looked directly at Hun Yi and shook his head. "You are too weak now."
"Too weak?" Hun Yi was taken aback for a moment, then laughed, "Do you want to vent some frustration before you die?"
Even a tenth-tier expert would not call him weak. To have opened over thirty million space layers as a ninth-tier was an achievement not just anyone could accomplish.
"I don't even have the interest to talk to you," Lin Yuan sighed.
Initially, he had intended to mock Hun Yi after completing the shuttling, but now, the gap between them was too vast, and he didn't even feel like bothering.
"You don't want to talk to me?" Hun Yi sneered, about to respond.
The next moment—
Hun Yi's expression changed drastically.
In an instant, the space layers he occupied were forcibly expelled by an almost violent power, and a trace of fear appeared on Hun Yi's face.
In less than a breath, he lost all control over the surrounding space layers, and all the space layers he sensed were occupied by a new power, a power that encompassed far more than thirty million layers.
"You?"
Hun Yi broke out in a cold sweat as he looked at Lin Yuan, incredulous. That new power was coming from the Galaxy Master, whom he had thought he had all figured out.
"Die," Lin Yuan said calmly, and with a turn of his thoughts, infinite space layers pressed down.
"How is this possible?" Fear welled up within Hun Yi, and he immediately self-destructed his clone without hesitation.
If he didn't self-destruct now, Hun Yi felt that he would be captured alive by the Galaxy Master.
If this clone fell into the Galaxy Master's hands, and he was brought back to the human civilization's domain, with the use of curse-killing techniques or memory poisons, there was a chance that he, Hun Yi, would be completely annihilated.
In the Tianyu Tribe's domain.
Hun Yi's true body opened his eyes, revealing a perplexed expression.
"What happened?"
"How could that Galaxy Master possess such strength?"
"I can sense that the space layers he occupies far exceed thirty million layers. No, it's at least a hundred million layers, otherwise, how could I feel so powerless just from the space layers alone?"
Hun Yi was incredulous. A hundred million space layers? In the history of the Tianyu Tribe, no ninth-tier life had ever opened up that many space layers, not even those unique and special lives.
Within the Xuanhuang Secret Realm.
Xi Lan, who had been on the brink of despair, watched as Hun Yi was forced to self-destruct his clone in front of Lin Yuan, and he was completely bewildered.
What was going on?
What had happened?
Xi Lan's mind was in a muddle.
"Galaxy Master," Xi Lan instinctively looked towards Lin Yuan, who stood beside him.
Although he didn't know why Hun Yi had self-destructed, he was sure it had something to do with the Galaxy Master.
"Has the Galaxy Master occupied all the surrounding space layers?" Xi Lan also sensed the countless layers of space under Lin Yuan's control.
Although Xi Lan couldn't determine the exact number of space layers, the pressure he felt now was far greater than when Hun Yi had been chasing them.
"Alright."
"Hun Yi has been dealt with."
Lin Yuan waved his right hand, and Hun Yi's space ring fell into his palm.
"It's done?"
Xi Lan felt like he was dreaming. He had imagined countless possibilities, such as himself and Lin Yuan perishing at Hun Yi's hands, or Lin Yuan's 'elder' suddenly arriving.
Or perhaps a special ninth-tier expert from an alien tribe friendly to human civilization would step in to block Hun Yi.
Or maybe a terrifying native lifeform from the Secret Realm would appear and entangle Hun Yi.
He had considered numerous possibilities and speculations, but the one thing he hadn't expected was for Lin Yuan to force Hun Yi to self-destruct with a mere wave of his hand.
This was too unbelievable.
In the distance.
The many ninth-tier aliens who had been watching the spectacle also had their eyes wide open in shock.
"Hun Yi self-destructed?"
"What happened? Why did he self-destruct all of a sudden?"
"Nonsense, it's because of the Galaxy Master. All the nearby space layers have been occupied by the Galaxy Master, and his strength far surpasses Hun Yi's, forcing him to self-destruct."
All the ninth-tier aliens who had been spectating were in an uproar, none of them had anticipated such a dramatic turn of events. Hun Yi, who had held the upper hand, was forced to self-destruct, and the Galaxy Master, who had been at an absolute disadvantage, revealed an almost unimaginable level of power.
Deep within the cosmic universe.
Masado the Walker's true body was stunned. He had witnessed the events unfolding within the Xuanhuang Secret Realm, and it was precisely because of this that he was so bewildered.
"What happened?"
"Did you use the 'Time Black Hole' I gave you?"
The ancient god ancestor beside him immediately asked, speculating that the Galaxy Master's appearance would, at most, result in some humiliation for Hun Yi.
He wouldn't let the Galaxy Master live for too long.
This was where Masado, hiding nearby, became crucial. He had to use the 'Time Black Hole' at the critical moment to trap Hun Yi and save the Galaxy Master.
This was the plan the ancient god ancestor had devised. Through this incident, not only would Masado make amends with the Galaxy Master, but he would also gain the Galaxy Master's goodwill.
"No," Masado hesitated for a moment and then replied, "I didn't use it."
"You didn't use it?" The ancient god ancestor frowned, a hint of annoyance in his voice. "Why didn't you activate the 'Time Black Hole'? Do you think that life-saving trump card is too precious?"
"Foolish!"
"With that life-saving trump card, I, the ancient ancestor, could easily create a second or third one. But once you leave the Xuanhuang Secret Realm, will you still have the opportunity to gain the Galaxy Master's favor?"
The ancient god ancestor glared at Masado, disappointed.
"Ancestor," Masado lowered his head, "I was planning to use it."
"Then why didn't you?" The ancient god ancestor's tone rose, about to continue reprimanding him.
"Because Hun Yi is dead. He was directly killed by the Galaxy Master," Masado explained, a hint of resentment in his voice. "I didn't even have the chance to use it."
"The Galaxy Master killed Hun Yi?"
The ancient god ancestor fell silent, staring at Masado, unsure of what to make of the situation.
