Chapter 412: World
Chapter 412: World (End of Trial)
Thump! Thump! Thump!!!
Lin Yuan's heart beat slowly, each pulse transporting blood to every part of his body.
For a powerful being like Lin Yuan, the heart was more than just an organ.
It was a repository of immense energy, and the term 'beat' didn't quite capture its nature; it was more like a 'breathing' of life force.
It was the very root of his physical existence, the foundation of his corporeal form.
The Martial Ancestor Golden Body that Lin Yuan had cultivated was an embodiment of the pinnacle of human potential, and the information or 'imprint' at the deepest level of his bloodline was becoming increasingly solidified with each pulse of his heart.
Until it was completely formed.
Buzz!!!
An indescribably complex divine ability imprint was born, causing the power of his bloodline to boil throughout his body.
With the aid of this newly born divine ability imprint, Lin Yuan seemed to witness the very birth of the Azure World and even glimpse scenes from before its creation, like an epic tale unfolding in his mind.
The intricate structure of the world in its most minute details, any change, flooded into Lin Yuan's consciousness.
"The birth of a world?"
Lin Yuan was entranced by the spectacle.
In the Main Universe, eighth-rank evolvers created their internal worlds.
But this act of creation was merely a replication of the Main Universe's spatial structure.
It was akin to building a world that was almost identical to the 'template' of the Main Universe.
Later, when evolvers comprehended the rules of time and controlled spacetime, their internal worlds could be considered 'independent' and 'complete'.
However, no matter how 'independent' or 'complete', these worlds were still derived from the Main Universe.
It was like a newborn infant who had been separated from its mother's womb, yet everything about the child originated from the mother's body.
To create a complete world from nothing, without relying on any 'mother body', was something even eleventh-rank beings couldn't achieve. Only the strongest beings might have a chance at such a feat.
Replication was easy.
True creation was the hardest.
However, as Lin Yuan observed the condensation of the divine ability imprint in the depths of his bloodline, he faintly witnessed the process of a world's birth from nothingness.
[*Your comprehension ability defies the heavens. By observing the imprint of the world's birth, your understanding of the world's essence has improved.*]
Lin Yuan was immersed in this observation, unaware of how much time had passed.
The divine ability imprint in the depths of his bloodline contracted, and strands of information flowed out from it.
"My fifth physical body divine ability," Lin Yuan's heart stirred, and he immediately began to decipher the information emanating from the divine ability imprint.
Compared to the four divine ability imprints he had acquired before, the manifestation of this fifth imprint was undoubtedly the most profound, as it delved into scenes from before the birth of the Azure World.
These were scenes that Lin Yuan, as the 'Tao' of the Azure World, couldn't retrospect, yet they appeared in his mind after the condensation of this physical body divine ability.
"Physical Body Divine Ability – World!"
Lin Yuan soon understood the nature of his fifth physical body divine ability.
This ability was extraordinarily powerful. Once unleashed, a world the size of Lin Yuan's internal world would form around him.
In simple terms, this ability could temporarily transform Lin Yuan's internal world into an external, tangible world.
It wasn't a world projection or an exertion of world power, but a true manifestation of a world enveloping him. As the master of this world, Lin Yuan could easily manipulate the origin power of the entire world, amplifying his attacks tenfold or even a hundredfold.
Meanwhile, his enemies would be suppressed by the very nature of this world, causing their speed and strength to plummet, weakening them across the board.
"This is absurd, truly absurd," Lin Yuan exclaimed.
Even though he had high expectations for this physical body divine ability and believed it might become his strongest one, the revelations he gained about the 'World' ability still shocked him.
Because this ability was utterly heaven-defying.
As everyone knew, the strongest fighters in the Main Universe, eighth-rank and above, were at their most powerful when they…
Employed forbidden secret arts?
Wielded powerful weapons?
No.
None of the above.
They were at their strongest when they were within their internal worlds.
In their internal worlds, they could freely harness the vast power of their worlds, exerting absolute home-field advantage.
The internal world of an eighth-rank being was so formidable that even ninth-rank or tenth-rank powerhouses wouldn't dare enter it lightly.
With a tenth-rank powerhouse's strength, one could withstand the oppressive power of an eighth-rank being's internal world, but what if that eighth-rank being triggered a self-destruct of their internal world?
The explosive power of a world would be enough to severely injure even a tenth-rank powerhouse.
An eighth-rank being grievously injuring a tenth-rank one was akin to a fairy tale, but if that tenth-rank powerhouse entered the eighth-rank being's internal world, such an outcome was entirely possible.
However.
While the home-field advantage of an internal world was strong, it was somewhat limited in its application.
Unless there was an overwhelming power gap between the two sides, it was almost impossible to force an enemy into one's internal world.
You may have your internal world, but so do I.
One could simply counter the attempt by activating their own internal world's power, causing a mutual cancellation and preventing the absorption.
It was like two magnets with the same polarity; even if one magnet was several times larger than the other, they would still repel each other due to their identical magnetic fields.
In battles between eighth-rank and ninth-rank powerhouses, the typical strategy was to crush the other's internal world from the outside. As for doing it from the inside?
No one in their right mind would willingly enter their opponent's internal world.
However, the 'World' ability that Lin Yuan had acquired could instantly condense an external world.
Whether one wanted to enter or not, this ability would envelop them in Lin Yuan's world, forcibly turning any location into a home field advantage.
Of course, the 'World' ability wasn't without its drawbacks. Its duration was short, lasting only about six seconds.
But that didn't diminish its heaven-defying nature. Six seconds was more than enough time to accomplish a lot of things.
What would happen if a similarly ranked opponent fell into another's internal world for six seconds?
Compared to the previous four physical body divine abilities, the 'World' ability was purely offensive in nature.
Once the external world took form, Lin Yuan would be unable to move, and he could only hope to defeat his enemies within the six-second duration of the ability.
On the other hand, even the 'Enhancement' ability had defensive applications; with its boost in speed, he could use it to escape dangerous situations.
"Nevertheless, I like it."
A smile appeared on Lin Yuan's face.
The 'World' ability was entirely dependent on his internal world. The external world it condensed was a reflection of the foundation of his internal world.
The stronger his internal world, the more formidable the external world that he could manifest.
And the internal world was Lin Yuan's forte; not only was its spatial depth impressive, but its sheer size was also more than twenty times that of a Main Universe peer of the same level.
This 'twenty times' referred to the diameter; if one were to calculate the volume, the difference would be even more staggering.
This particular physical body divine ability seemed tailor-made for Lin Yuan.
"The most powerful application of the 'World' ability is self-detonation."
Lin Yuan's thoughts wandered as he quickly analyzed the ability.
The external world lasted for six seconds, and if he couldn't defeat his opponent within the first five seconds, he could simply self-detonate in the sixth second.
Although the external world was a perfect replica of his internal world, it was ultimately not the same. It was a projection created by the 'World' ability, using his internal world as a 'template', and it only lasted for an instant.
The size and power were identical.
But they were not the same entity.
The self-detonation of the external world was not equivalent to the self-detonation of the internal world.
If Lin Yuan detonated the external world, he would suffer some backlash, but the cost would be far less than detonating his actual internal world.
Self-detonating the internal world was essentially a suicidal move.
Whereas, with the external world, he would only experience some backlash.
The difference was clear.
"With the foundation of my true body's internal world, if I were to self-detonate the external world, even a legendary eleventh-rank perfect being like the Four Divine Kings would undoubtedly perish."
Lin Yuan thought to himself, "As for me, I would only suffer some backlash?"
This was considering that Lin Yuan's true body was currently at the tenth rank. If he were to reach the eleventh rank and receive another infusion of Chaotic Void Origin, his internal world would experience a massive boost.
The power of the external world that he could condense at that time, and the resulting explosion, was something Lin Yuan couldn't even imagine.
"This technique can only be used once."
Lin Yuan was well aware of the limitations. The size of his true body's internal world in the Main Universe was two hundred million li in diameter, and so, the external world would be of the same scale.
For an eleventh-rank powerhouse, once they understood the nature of this technique, they could simply stay more than two hundred million li away from Lin Yuan to avoid it.
The attack range of an eleventh-rank powerhouse was measured in light-years, so this distance was negligible for them.
Of course, it was easier said than done. Lin Yuan could conceal his presence and infiltrate within the two-hundred-million-li range of his opponent before activating the 'World' ability.
"The most important thing now is to thoroughly comprehend this divine ability imprint."
Lin Yuan's expression turned solemn.
Only by thoroughly understanding the divine ability imprint could he bring it back to the Main World and imprint it onto his true body's soul.
There was no need to mention how much this ability would enhance his combat power. Even if it delayed his understanding of the Time-Space Fusion Rule, he had to master this divine ability first.
He could comprehend the Time-Space Fusion Rule anywhere, be it the Main Universe or other traversed worlds.
However, the 'World' divine ability imprint could only be comprehended within this Martial Ancestor Golden Body.
Outside the Azure World.
In the boundless void.
The Black Devil Pavilion Master and his three friends were rapidly approaching the Azure World.
A vast and terrifying aura emanated from these four Outer Demons.
Along the way, even when they were far apart, their auras caused the other Outer Demons to tremble.
"It's the Black Devil Pavilion Master!"
"Besides the Black Devil Pavilion Master, there are three other equally powerful demons with him!"
"What's going on? Isn't the Black Devil Pavilion Master in seclusion?"
"Hehe, the Black Devil Pavilion Master must be heading to the Azure World. Two members of the Black Devil Pavilion died there previously."
Many Outer Demons gazed from afar, and the influence of the Black Devil Pavilion Master was indeed immense, striking fear into the hearts of countless Outer Demons. Moreover, the three demons accompanying the Black Devil Pavilion Master were no pushovers either.
"Black Devil, what secret does that world hold that makes you so cautious?"
"Indeed, what is it that requires us to join forces?"
"Black Devil, we'll follow your lead, but we can't afford to make a trip for nothing."
The three 'friends' of the Black Devil Pavilion Master chatted as they made their way toward the Azure World.
As Outer Demons, they were opportunists who wouldn't lift a finger without a reward. Expecting them to help the Black Devil Pavilion Master seek revenge without compensation was out of the question.
"Rest assured, the secret of that world is not insignificant. It can rapidly increase the power of the world's origin. As long as we take over that world, I'm willing to share this secret with you."
The Black Devil Pavilion Master glanced at the three 'friends' and continued, "Additionally, I can let you enter the void secret realm that I guard and explore the opportunities within together."
"Good."
"You're indeed generous, Black Devil."
"I'll definitely help you with this grudge."
The three Outer Demons were overjoyed upon hearing this.
The secrets of the Azure World aside, the void secret realm guarded by the Black Devil Pavilion Master was something they had their eyes on as well.
However, the Black Devil Pavilion Master held the 'key' to that secret realm, and without his guidance, they had no way of entering.
The Black Devil Pavilion Master remained silent and continued on his way toward the Azure World, not bothering to respond to their comments.
"And three equally powerful demons are with him!"
"What's going on? Isn't the Black Devil Pavilion Master in seclusion?"
"He must be heading to the Azure World. Two members of the Black Devil Pavilion died there."
The immense influence of the Black Devil Pavilion Master was undeniable, and the three demons accompanying him were no pushovers either.
"Black Devil, what secret does that world hold that makes you so cautious?"
"Indeed, what is it that requires us to join forces?"
"We'll follow your lead, but we expect a reward for our troubles." the three 'friends' of the Black Devil Pavilion Master said as they made their way toward the Azure World.
The three Outer Demons were opportunists who wouldn't lift a finger without incentive. Asking them to help the Black Devil Pavilion Master seek revenge without compensation was out of the question.
"Rest assured, the secret of that world is significant. It can rapidly increase the power of the world's origin. As long as we take over that world, I'm willing to share this secret with you," the Black Devil Pavilion Master replied, glancing at his three companions. "Additionally, I can let you enter the void secret realm that I guard, and we can explore the opportunities within together."
"Good."
"You're indeed generous, Black Devil."
"I'll definitely help you with this grudge."
The three Outer Demons were overjoyed at the prospect of exploring the void secret realm guarded by the Black Devil Pavilion Master, in addition to uncovering the secrets of the Azure World.
However, the Black Devil Pavilion Master held the 'key' to that secret realm, and without his guidance, they had no way of entering.
Inside the Martial Ancestor Golden Body, Lin Yuan sat with his legs crossed, immersing himself in the comprehension of the divine ability 'World'.
"Hmm?"
Lin Yuan's eyes narrowed as he sensed something. "The Black Devil Pavilion Master is approaching, and he's brought three other Outer Demons with him."
Thanks to the statue he obtained from the Black Devil Pavilion Master, Lin Yuan could easily lock onto the Pavilion Master's position through causal sensing. Thus, he had been aware of their movements ever since they started heading towards the Azure World.
"Perfect."
"I can test out the 'World' divine ability."
Lin Yuan was eager to try out his new ability and familiarize himself with its controls. Dealing with the Black Devil Pavilion Master and the three other powerful Outer Demons that accompanied him was merely an afterthought.
As for the risk of exposing the secret of the 'World' ability? Lin Yuan wasn't concerned. The powerful beings in the Main Universe had clones, so even if he used the 'World' ability, he might not be able to kill them completely, and his secret might be discovered.
But these four demons were different. According to Lin Yuan's causal sensing, they didn't seem to have any clones, so as long as he eliminated them thoroughly, there was no risk of exposing his new ability.
In the boundless void, numerous other Outer Demons were also keeping a close eye on the Black Devil Pavilion Master and his companions.
"The Black Devil Pavilion Master is truly cautious. He doesn't plan on getting close to the Azure World at all," one of them remarked.
"Of course, there's a great terror within the Azure World. Even 'Demon Eye' and 'Myriad Tentacles' couldn't escape. The Black Devil Pavilion Master isn't taking any chances," another added.
"Indeed, they can just attack from a distance. Once the Azure World is torn open, whatever is inside will be exposed," a third demon said.
The outcome, in the eyes of all the Outer Demons, seemed inevitable. With the combined might of four powerful demons, led by the Black Devil Pavilion Master, the Azure World didn't stand a chance.
"Let the attack begin. Show no mercy," the Black Devil Pavilion Master commanded, his eighteen arms brimming with terrifying energy.
With their combined strength, it would only take a moment to tear the Azure World apart. After all, the Black Devil Pavilion Master's statue alone had been enough to create a massive rift in the Azure World's barrier. Now that he was here in person, along with his three 'friends', destroying the Azure World was a certainty.
"Of course," the three Outer Demons agreed, and they immediately joined the assault.
They knew better than to hold back, even against seemingly weaker opponents. These were lessons learned from endless battles and slaughter.
However, the next moment, the four demons' expressions changed as they found themselves surrounded by a different world altogether.
The vast void had disappeared, and they were now enclosed in a new realm.
"What is this?!" the Black Devil Pavilion Master exclaimed, his face twisting in shock. He couldn't sense the boundless void anymore; it was as if they had been cut off from it entirely.
The three other Outer Demons shared his confusion.
But before they could react further, a torrent of world power descended upon them. Their physical bodies and souls trembled as they were overwhelmed, their consciousness plunging into darkness. Along with the surrounding space, they were pulled into the Azure World, helpless to resist.
