Chapter 359: Stepping into the Tenth Tier
Chapter 359: Stepping into the Tenth Tier (End of Volume, Please Subscribe)
While waiting, the two Paramount Beings began to chat casually.
"I wonder how big of a rift Galaxy Primordial, as the first human civilization, will tear open when he receives the infusion of Chaotic Void Origin at the ninth tier," Wondered the Paramount Butterfly Being, her curiosity getting the better of her.
Even though she had witnessed countless eleventh-tier beings challenging the ultimate stage and receiving the infusion of Chaotic Void Origin, this was an unprecedented event for a ninth-tier being.
"Typically, a ninth-tier being breaking through to the tenth tier would tear open a rift spanning a million li, allowing for the infusion of origin power," replied the Paramount Xia Qin being.
"However, Galaxy Primordial has cultivated over two hundred million layers of his internal world, requiring an infusion of origin power twenty times greater than a normal ninth-tier being. Moreover, the origin power of the Chaotic Void far surpasses that of the universe, so the final rift he tears open will likely span thousands of millions of li," he speculated.
Whether it was the infusion of universal origin power or Chaotic Void origin power, the essence remained the same—to fill the body of an Evolver with origin power. The more origin power their internal world could contain, the larger the rift that would be torn open by the overflowing origin power.
"More or less," nodded the Paramount Butterfly Being.
Although they had never witnessed a ninth-tier being receiving an infusion of Chaotic Void origin power, they could estimate its scale based on the infusion of universal origin power into a typical ninth-tier Evolver.
Usually, the quality of Chaotic Void origin power was a hundred times greater than that of universal origin power. If Galaxy Primordial tore open a rift spanning thousands of millions of li, the amount of Chaotic Void origin power pouring into him would be ten times more than that of a regular ninth-tier Evolver, even before considering the difference in quality.
The benefits Galaxy Primordial would gain from this process would be thousands of times greater than those of an ordinary ninth-tier Evolver breaking through to the tenth tier.
Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, eighteen or nineteen years had gone by.
In the Galaxy Dominion…
Lin Yuan quietly opened his eyes.
"My metamorphosis has reached its peak," Lin Yuan assessed, sensing that his internal world, physical body, soul, and even his mental will had all subtly reached a certain limit.
To progress further, he would have to break free from his shackles and step into the tenth tier.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
Two figures appeared beside him—his solar and lunar primordial spirits.
Buzz!
With a slight fluctuation of his consciousness, Lin Yuan's two primordial spirits began to employ the secret art, *Illusory and Real*, transforming once again from physical bodies into spiritual ones.
This secret art, created by the master of the Demon Jade Tower, allowed life forms to freely shift between illusory and physical states, a truly remarkable ability.
Up until now, Lin Yuan had maintained his two primordial spirits in physical form. Only through physical bodies could they fully unleash the power of his several bodily secret arts.
As for spiritual bodies, while they did possess the advantage of being able to disperse and reform with a drop of blood, their capabilities weren't too far off from those of spiritual bodies.
Furthermore, Lin Yuan's several bodily secret arts made the benefits of maintaining physical bodies far outweigh those of spiritual bodies.
But now...
For the sake of a stable breakthrough...
Lin Yuan decided to return his two primordial spirits to their original state.
Even though his two primordial spirits had transformed back into spiritual bodies, the size of his internal world did not decrease to a mere tens of millions of li in area.
The effect of the mysterious gourd was not something that could be undone by a change from physical to spiritual form.
"Let's begin the breakthrough," Lin Yuan said, reintegrating his two primordial spirits into his physical body. At this moment, within his body, there were three internal worlds, each spanning over two hundred million li.
"Let's go," Lin Yuan murmured, his figure disappearing as he ventured into the deeper layers of space.
"Hmm?"
"That little guy is about to start his breakthrough."
The two Paramount Beings, who had been keeping a constant watch on the Galaxy Dominion, immediately noticed Lin Yuan's aura disappearing from the Galaxy Dominion and reappearing in the deeper layers of space.
"Let's begin as well."
"Isolating time and space."
The Paramount Xia Qin Being and the Paramount Butterfly Being exchanged a glance before taking action.
In an instant, mysterious auras began to spread throughout the entire Galaxy Domain and even into the dozens of neighboring domains.
Within this vast region, time and space were temporarily isolated, so even if a huge commotion occurred, outsiders would only sense an anomaly without being able to pinpoint the exact location.
In the depths of the layers of space...
Lin Yuan sat cross-legged.
When his metamorphosis had reached its peak, a certain urge had welled up within him.
An urge to break free from his shackles and shatter the bottleneck.
Rumble...
As Lin Yuan released the suppression, he unleashed his full power against the bottleneck.
The outer universe seemed to sense something.
A terrifying rift tore through the countless layers of space, and a massive amount of origin power from beyond the universe, from the Chaotic Void, began to pour frantically into Lin Yuan.
Whoosh!
The endless Chaotic Void origin power poured in as if it were free.
Typically, a ninth-tier Evolver breaking through to the tenth tier would only require a small amount of origin power to be infused.
After all, the internal world of a ninth-tier Evolver challenging the tenth tier would only span a million li in area, and the number of layers of space they had cultivated would only amount to a million as well.
How much origin power could such a small amount of space hold?
Some special ninth-tier Evolvers might have cultivated several tens of millions of layers of space, requiring a slightly larger amount of origin power.
But even that was extremely limited.
At most, they would tear open a rift spanning two or three million li for the infusion of origin power.
But what about Lin Yuan?
Just the observable size of his internal world exceeded two hundred million li in area. Compared to a normal Evolver with an internal world spanning a million li, how much more origin power could Lin Yuan's internal world contain? Tens of thousands of times more? Hundreds of thousands?
Moreover, his internal world, spanning over two hundred million li in area, had cultivated over two billion layers of space.
The combination of these two factors meant that the amount of origin power Lin Yuan could ultimately contain was thousands of times, even millions of times, more than that of a normal ninth-tier Evolver.
It was like comparing a fishbowl to a lake—both might hold water, but the quantity of water they could contain was inherently different.
Rip!
The rift that penetrated through countless layers of space, allowing the Chaotic Void origin power to pour in, had only just begun to form, yet it already spanned over a hundred million li. As time passed, the amount of origin power Lin Yuan could contain continued to grow.
The size of the rift was rapidly expanding.
One light-year.
Two light-years.
Five light-years.
Normally, when a ninth-tier Evolver challenged the tenth tier, they would only need to hide in the deeper layers of space, and the disturbance they caused wouldn't be too great. Moreover, the rift they tore open would only span a million or a few million li.
The amount of origin power Lin Yuan needed was too immense.
Even though the quality of Chaotic Void origin power far surpassed that of the universe, a hundredfold, the rift that formed still swiftly spanned ten light-years.
The energy fluctuations that erupted during this process far exceeded the commotion caused by a ninth-tier Evolver breaking through to the tenth tier, and even surpassed that of a tenth-tier Evolver reaching the eleventh tier.
"What's going on?"
"Has a rift been torn in the universe?"
"Is Chaotic Void origin power pouring in?"
At the same time, deep within the universe, eleventh-tier beings became aware of the phenomenon.
As the universe's space was completely torn asunder, connecting to the outer Chaotic Void, if the breach had been brief or less intense, it might not have drawn such a significant reaction.
But a rift spanning over ten light-years, coupled with the vast release of Chaotic Void origin power, was enough to attract the attention of eleventh-tier beings and ancient gods, even if they were separated by vast distances.
After all, Chaotic Void origin power was the very essence that eleventh-tier beings craved when they challenged the ultimate stage. Many of these powerful beings yearned for such an opportunity.
"Is there a being challenging the ultimate stage?"
"Which eleventh-tier peak being has chosen this moment to attempt the ultimate breakthrough?"
"No, I've witnessed eleventh-tier beings challenging the ultimate stage before, and the commotion was much greater than this."
"Yes, the infusion of Chaotic Void origin power is just one phenomenon. There should be a more grandiose manifestation of power."
Many ancient gods communicated with each other, some of whom had been in a deep slumber, maintaining a massive time-speed differential with the outside world.
But even they were awakened by the influx of Chaotic Void origin power, canceling their time-speed manipulation to sense the foreign presence from beyond the universe.
"It should be a tenth-tier being who has comprehended the rules of time and is now attempting the eleventh tier."
One of the ancient gods speculated.
Since the dawn of the universe, never had there been a ninth-tier being who comprehended the rules of time.
But a tenth-tier being comprehending time? That had happened before.
When a tenth-tier being comprehends the rules of time, their internal world becomes fully independent, and upon challenging the eleventh tier, they, too, receive an infusion of Chaotic Void origin power.
"To comprehend the rules of time at the tenth tier would undoubtedly benefit one's future leap to the ultimate stage, wouldn't it?"
"I'm envious. Why didn't I linger at the tenth tier for a few more years? If I had comprehended the rules of time back then, I could have had another chance to receive the Chaotic Void origin power. What a missed opportunity."
"However, I can't seem to pinpoint the location of the rift. It's as if time and space have been isolated, giving me a false sense of its position."
"Hehe, it must be the doing of a Paramount Being, isolating time and space. If they hadn't intervened, there might have been hostile Paramount Beings trying to snuff out this evolution."
Deep within the universe, eleventh-tier beings and ancient gods engaged in lively discussions, a rare occurrence as they were usually in a state of slumber.
The Tianyu Tribe.
"The rift has formed within the domain of human civilization."
A Tianyu Tribe progenitor opened his eyes, gazing toward the direction of human civilization.
The eleventh-tier beings and ancient gods were completely shrouded by the isolation of time and space, unable to pinpoint the exact location of the rift that was continuously pouring in Chaotic Void origin power.
However, as ultimate beings, they could vaguely sense the general region where this was taking place.
This Tianyu Tribe progenitor was certain that it was within the domain of human civilization.
"Is human civilization about to gain another eleventh-tier being who comprehended the rules of time at the tenth tier?"
The other progenitors of the Tianyu Tribe turned their attention toward human civilization. For twelfth-tier beings, it was rare for them to pay attention to matters below the ultimate stage.
Some ultimate beings even neglected the affairs of their own clan.
Yet now, a being who comprehended the rules of time at the tenth tier had caught the attention of many ultimate beings.
At the very least, this being's chances of reaching the ultimate stage in the future were slightly higher than those of other eleventh-tier beings.
"The will of the universe's origin power seems to favor human civilization too much."
"Remember that time when countless treasures fell from the sky, granting human civilization those crucial ultimate treasures?"
"And now, there's this being who comprehended the rules of time at the tenth tier? Not to mention Galaxy Primordial?"
One by one, the ultimate beings pondered silently.
They contemplated taking action to snuff out this being who had comprehended the rules of time, but in the short term, they couldn't pinpoint the exact location, only knowing that it was within the domain of human civilization.
And the domain of human civilization was vast and expansive. It would take a significant amount of time for a Paramount Being to search inch by inch, not to mention that the ultimate beings of human civilization wouldn't allow foreign Paramount Beings to intrude and search as they pleased.
Lin Yuan's breakthrough attracted the attention of numerous eleventh-tier beings and ultimate beings.
However, even the ultimate beings assumed that it was a tenth-tier being breaking through to the eleventh tier.
It was just that this tenth-tier being had comprehended the rules of time and was receiving an early infusion of Chaotic Void origin power.
While this was somewhat unexpected, it wasn't entirely shocking as similar events had occurred in the past.
Within the Galaxy Domain...
The Paramount Xia Qin Being and the Paramount Butterfly Being stared at the depths of the spatial layers, where the rift had already reached twelve light-years, with endless Chaotic Void origin power pouring in.
The aura emanating from beyond the universe was profound and enigmatic.
The two Paramount Beings vaguely perceived the chaotic currents beyond the Chaotic Void, as if the origin power of the Chaotic Void was being poured out, cascading down and being absorbed by Lin Yuan.
The Chaotic Void origin power, enough to burst a ninth-tier or even a tenth-tier Evolver, entered Lin Yuan's body, seemingly disappearing into an abyss without causing any reaction.
Lin Yuan was like a black hole, ravenously absorbing the Chaotic Void origin power.
The Paramount Xia Qin Being and the Paramount Butterfly Being stood there, their expressions astonished, unable to move for a long time.
