Chapter 433: Breakthrough
Chapter 433: Breakthrough (End of Chapter)
Outside the Nine-Story Black Tower.
Lin Yuan approached with long strides.
After the Demon Jade Seal underwent its transformation, in addition to being able to sense the specific coordinates of this Demon Jade space, Lin Yuan also gained partial authority over it. For instance, he could easily appear anywhere within it if he wished.
However, in the past, whenever he descended upon the Demon Jade space, he would always walk to the Nine-Story Black Tower.
Lin Yuan had gotten used to this, so he strode over once more.
"You've become a Sequence member?" The stone statue in human form, Shen Ji, had been waiting for a long time. He looked at Lin Yuan with complicated eyes.
Even he had not expected Lin Yuan to become a Sequence member.
After all, the headquarters of the Demon Jade Tower had already collapsed, and the cornerstone that carried all the paths of Demon evolution had been destroyed.
In this situation, if one wanted to comprehend all the paths of Demon evolution, they could only do so by deducing them from the bodies of the twelve-story strong beings affiliated with the Demon Jade Tower.
But this was extremely difficult.
To comprehend all the paths of Demon evolution from the bodies of twelve-story strong beings? It might be possible if they were still alive, as they could then rein in their overwhelming pressure. But for those who had perished, even if only their remains were left, their intangible mental willpower pressure would still be released.
This mental willpower pressure might not mean much to other twelve-story beings, but to those below that tier, it was simply impossible to withstand.
If one couldn't even withstand it, how could they hope to comprehend all the paths of Demon evolution?
Therefore, even though the stone statue Shen Ji was aware of Lin Yuan's monstrous innate talent, he had never dared to hope that he could become a Sequence member.
After all, with the disappearance of the Demon Jade Tower's master, this path had essentially been cut off.
"I've had good luck," Lin Yuan said with a smile.
"Good luck?" The stone statue Shen Ji was left speechless.
Even during the Demon Jade Tower's heyday, Sequence members were extremely rare. In any given era, there were never more than a hundred Sequence members in the Demon Jade Tower.
Each and every Sequence member of the Demon Jade Tower had the potential to reach the twelve-story tier. How could they have relied solely on luck?
The personal disciples taken in by the master of the Demon Jade Tower were cultivated as the strongest beings, and even Sequence members had the potential to become the strongest.
Moreover, Lin Yuan's path to becoming a Sequence member of the Demon Jade Tower was indescribably more difficult than that of previous Sequence members. It was even more challenging than becoming the master's personal disciple.
"You were born in the wrong era," Shen Ji said with emotion after a long while.
If it were during the Demon Jade Tower's heyday, or even if it weren't its heyday but there was still a twelve-story strong being in residence, Lin Yuan would have received the full support of the Demon Jade Tower.
But now?
Even though Lin Yuan had forcibly become a Sequence member of the Demon Jade Tower, what he gained was far less than what he would have received in the past, and he didn't even have access to the various benefits and treatments that came with being a Sequence member.
"I think it's fine," Lin Yuan shook his head. He had already gained a lot of benefits from this Demon Jade space, and being in the Demon Jade Tower during its heyday might not necessarily have been a good thing.
"Let's get down to business," Shen Ji said, waving his right hand. A virtual light curtain appeared in front of Lin Yuan.
This was the reward for becoming a Sequence member.
Previously, when Lin Yuan became a core member of the Demon Jade Tower, he gained the right to choose a secret art from among many.
Now that he had become a Sequence member, he had more and even more valuable rewards to choose from.
"I'll leave it for later," Lin Yuan scanned the light curtain briefly before speaking.
He was about to step into the eleventh story, and the rewards on the light curtain weren't very helpful to him at the moment. It would be better to choose later, after he had stepped into the eleventh story, and base his choice on his needs then.
Currently, Lin Yuan wasn't sure how great the transformation would be after he stepped into the eleventh story, so he intended to wait and see first.
"No problem," Shen Ji nodded.
Now that Lin Yuan was a Sequence member, his authority over this Demon Jade space was only slightly lower than Shen Ji's.
"Do Sequence members have the authority to determine who can descend upon this space?" Lin Yuan inquired after sensing it carefully.
"Yes," Shen Ji replied, "You can restrict the identity, race, bloodline, and so on of those who descend upon this Demon Jade space."
The Demon Jade Tower had strict hierarchies, and to the high and mighty Sequence members, the future of ordinary members was but a matter of a word.
"Then I restrict it so that only lives from my human civilization can descend upon this Demon Jade space from now on," Lin Yuan said immediately.
Although, so far, no strong beings from other races had become ordinary members of the Demon Jade Tower and thus descended upon this space, it was necessary to take precautions. Those strong beings from other races were also trying to comprehend the paths of Demon evolution within their bodies.
If one looked at it from a long-term perspective, there was a possibility that they could become ordinary members of the Demon Jade Tower.
Therefore, Lin Yuan decided to cut off this possibility.
If they couldn't enter this Demon Jade space, even if the strong beings from other races became ordinary members of the Demon Jade Tower, it would be of no benefit to them.
It would be the same as wasting their efforts.
"Alright," Shen Ji closed his eyes, and soon opened them again.
Filtering the identities of those who descended upon this Demon Jade space was a simple task for him.
"Next, I want to try the seventh story," Lin Yuan said, raising his head to look at the Nine-Story Black Tower before him.
Only twelve-story strong beings had any hope of conquering the seventh story of the Black Tower.
If it were before his tenth shuttle attempt, Lin Yuan wouldn't have dared to think about it.
Sixth-level insight into the rules of space-time fusion? It was already difficult to get through the sixth story, let alone the seventh?
But now, Lin Yuan had reached the sixth level of insight into the rules of space-time fusion, firmly standing at the twelve-story tier.
In addition, his mental willpower had also entered the twelve-story tier.
With both aspects at the twelve-story tier, Lin Yuan believed that he could give the seventh story a try.
"The seventh story?" Shen Ji fell silent again, then stepped aside and watched as Lin Yuan entered the Nine-Story Black Tower.
Less than half an hour later.
Lin Yuan descended from the seventh story.
"It's still no good," Lin Yuan frowned.
To conquer the seventh story of the Black Tower, a twelve-story strong being would need to have reached the peak of the sixth level of insight into the rules of space-time fusion.
If one hadn't reached the twelve-story tier, they would need to have at least reached the seventh level of insight in the domain of space-time fusion to have a chance.
After all, although Lin Yuan had reached the twelve-story tier in terms of insight into space-time and mental willpower, he was not yet a twelve-story strong being. The requirements for him to conquer the seventh story were undoubtedly higher than for a normal twelve-story strong being.
"You walked two-thirds of the way?" Shen Ji, the stone statue, remained silent.
Although Lin Yuan had ultimately failed to conquer the seventh story, he had walked two-thirds of the way, which was simply inconceivable.
A mere ten-story life had walked two-thirds of the way through the seventh story, which only the strongest beings were expected to be able to do?
What kind of monster was this?
Thinking of how Lin Yuan had become a Sequence member at the ten-story tier, Shen Ji's mind finally calmed down.
"Mental willpower and insight into the rules of space-time fusion have both fully entered the twelve-story tier, especially in terms of mental willpower strength..." Shen Ji recalled the scenes of Lin Yuan venturing into the seventh story, and his heart was stirred once more.
The master of the Demon Jade Tower had experienced numerous adventures in his youth and had also reached the twelfth-story tier in certain aspects before advancing to the eleventh story.
But at that time, the master of the Demon Jade Tower was already at the eleventh tier.
And now, Lin Yuan is only at the tenth tier?
The difference between the tenth and eleventh tiers seems like just one level, but it's akin to an insurmountable gulf.
"What a pity." Lin Yuan took one last look at the majestic Nine-Story Black Tower and sighed.
"You still think it's a pity?" The stone statue, Shen Ji, twitched the corner of his mouth. Was it a pity that he couldn't get past the seventh story at the tenth tier?
"Then I'll take my leave."
Lin Yuan bid farewell to the human-shaped stone statue and disappeared from the Demon Jade space.
In an instant, only the stone statue, Shen Ji, was left standing alone in front of the Nine-Story Black Tower in the vast Demon Jade space.
"Master, with your means, you probably didn't expect that the Demon Jade Tower would still give birth to a Sequence member, did you?" Shen Ji muttered to himself for a while before falling back into a deep sleep.
Galaxy Main Star.
Lin Yuan sat with his legs crossed.
"First, I'll cultivate the Demon Jade Inevitable Body to perfection." Lin Yuan quickly took out a large number of resources.
Long before adjusting his state, Lin Yuan had purchased a large number of resources, preparing to step into the eleventh tier and making preparations for cultivating the Primordial Emperor's Body.
Now that he had obtained the tenth-story chapter of the Demon Jade Inevitable Body, he naturally intended to cultivate this body-refining technique to perfection.
When advancing to the eleventh tier and attracting the influx of Chaotic Void Origin, the stronger one's physical body, soul, and inner world were, the more Chaotic Void Origin they could withstand, and the more beneficial it would be for themselves.
Previously, Lin Yuan's physical body had already reached its peak, and no matter how many resources or secret techniques he used at the tenth tier, it would be difficult to improve even a bit.
However, the Demon Jade Inevitable Body still allowed his physical strength to continue to increase, and Lin Yuan naturally wanted to seize this opportunity.
After all, Lin Yuan had already reached perfection in the Demon Jade Inevitable Body, and with sufficient resources, it wouldn't take long to cultivate it to perfection.
Time passed.
In the blink of an eye, six months went by.
"Finally, I've reached the perfection of the tenth tier."
Lin Yuan sensed the black crystalline flesh and blood within his body, emanating a Primordial Yellow glow, and a terrifying surge of vital energy shook the layers of space.
"Everything is ready."
Lin Yuan glanced around, and the Sun Yuan God and Moon Yuan God had already arrived early.
As for the original large battlefield? Lin Yuan had long placed an incarnation there.
Before his tenth shuttle attempt, Lin Yuan's mental willpower was only at a conventional level, and the large exotic beast battlefield was full of dangers. It was necessary for his Yuan Gods to be present to ensure the long-term accumulation of boundary-breaking origin power.
As for his incarnation? It was too weak and couldn't handle the pressure of the large exotic beast battlefield.
But after the tenth shuttle attempt, Lin Yuan's mental willpower had been greatly enhanced, causing his incarnation's combat power to also reach the eleventh-story tier.
Even though it was still inferior to his two Yuan Gods, it was more than enough to deal with the dangers of the large exotic beast battlefield.
In most cases, there wouldn't be any battles at the eleventh-story tier on the large exotic beast battlefield.
"I can contact the peak experts now." Lin Yuan connected his consciousness to the virtual world and informed Xia Qin, the peak expert. Then, he took a step forward, leaving the Galaxy Main Star and heading toward a deep layer of space in a certain location of the Galaxy Star Master.
When breaking through to the eleventh tier and attracting the influx of Chaotic Void Origin, it was natural not to do it on the main star, as the impact would be too great. Even a slight ripple would cause the Galaxy Main Star to be reduced to ashes.
Just as Lin Yuan sat in the deep layer of space, making his final adjustments.
In the Galaxy Star Domain, incarnations of peak experts from the human civilization began to descend.
Xia Qin, the peak expert.
Yu Die, the peak expert.
Gu Li, the peak expert.
Xu Shen, the peak expert.
And so on, a total of nine peak experts' incarnations appeared.
Even Xia Qin's true body was paying attention to this place.
Through his incarnation as a beacon, Xia Qin's true body could descend at any time.
"He's finally starting his breakthrough." Xia Qin's expression was slightly excited. He was even more nervous than Lin Yuan himself. He had been waiting for Lin Yuan's news for the past few months.
"I've already set up a space-time path domain in dozens of nearby star domains."
Xu Shen, the peak expert, spoke up. He had profound insight into space, and his fundamental great path was also the path of space.
With Xu Shen's manipulation of space, the space-time path domain he set up would be difficult for even a group of peak experts to see through in a short period.
"We've put in a lot of effort for this little guy's breakthrough."
Gu Li, the peak expert, couldn't help but speak up as well. In the history of human civilization, aside from eleventh-tier experts challenging the ultimate realm, there had never been such attention paid to a cultivator.
However, Lin Yuan's displayed talent and aptitude were well worth the efforts of these nine peak experts.
Whether it was comprehending the space-time fusion rules at the tenth tier or having his mental willpower enter the peak expert realm, these were things that had never happened before in human civilization.
In the eyes of the nine peak experts, Lin Yuan's challenge of the eleventh tier was even more important than those eleventh-tier experts challenging the ultimate realm.
"I wasn't present when he broke through to the tenth tier, but now I can see what kind of commotion this young man will cause."
Another human peak expert spoke with great interest.
When Lin Yuan broke through to the tenth tier, he attracted an influx of Chaotic Void Origin, and although the scale was far inferior to challenging the ultimate realm, it was still an unprecedented occurrence.
The human peak experts who had missed it felt quite regretful.
"The commotion should be quite something."
Xia Qin, the peak expert, guessed, "Perhaps it will be close to challenging the ultimate realm?"
When Lin Yuan was at the tenth tier, he comprehended the space-time fusion rules, which greatly enhanced his inner world. Coupled with the transformation of his physical body and soul, the Chaotic Void Origin he could withstand would definitely far surpass that of a ninth-tier expert breaking through to the tenth tier.
"Close to the commotion of challenging the ultimate realm?"
The remaining few human peak experts looked at each other.
Could it be that Lin Yuan already possessed the foundation of an eleventh-tier perfect expert? How was that possible?
"Let's wait and see."
Yu Die, the peak expert, spoke up.
In the deep layer of space.
Lin Yuan sat with his legs crossed, and his two Yuan Gods had already returned to his body.
From reality to illusion, the inner worlds of the two Yuan Gods did not shrink to a size of a thousand miles. Instead, they still maintained a size of three hundred million miles, and the mysterious gourd's boost was still in effect.
Time slowly passed.
"Let's begin the breakthrough."
Lin Yuan's vital energy within his body was perfect and harmonious, and at the same time, he released the suppression on himself.
If he hadn't suppressed himself, Lin Yuan would have been forced to advance to the eleventh tier long ago when he comprehended a certain pillar-grade fusion rule at the second level.
As Lin Yuan completely released his suppression.
His life essence quickly advanced toward the eleventh tier.
The heavens and the void suddenly fell silent.
Immediately after—
Boom!!!
