Chapter 443: One Man Blocks the Road, Countless Races Halt (End of Preview)
Whoosh!
Xiah Qin, the pinnacle being of mankind, gazed upon the super-large battlefield and waved his right hand. Nearly two hundred 11th-tier powerhouses plummeted like shooting stars toward the periphery of the battlefield.
The other eight human pinnacle beings did the same, sending a large number of 11th-tier powerhouses from the Human Civilization Alliance hurtling into the fringes of the massive battlefield.
Right after.
The top forces of various peak races began sending their 11th-tier experts into the periphery of the super-large battlefield.
"Xiah Qin, has that human, 'Blood Rain,' entered as well?" The pinnacle being from the Star Alliance inquired through a sound transmission.
Not long ago, a temporal fluctuation that seemed to challenge the ultimate limits emanated from the domain of Human Civilization. Many foreign pinnacle beings speculated that the perpetrator might be that human, Blood Rain.
Based on Blood Rain's performance within the two-dimensional world, even if he had relied on a treasure to exhibit such extraordinarily overwhelming combat power, his own realm should at least be at the perfect 11th tier.
He was probably even closer to the 12th tier than the Four Divine Kings.
Hence, the foreign pinnacle beings made such a conjecture.
But it was merely a conjecture; no one could be sure if it was Blood Rain or not.
"You'll know soon enough," Xiah Qin casually replied. He wasn't about to divulge any information about Lin Yuan.
"Hehe."
The pinnacle being from the Star Alliance fell silent. If Human Civilization had Blood Rain, then why wouldn't his Star Alliance have an existence of the same caliber? The Four Divine Kings had been trampled by Blood Rain in the two-dimensional world, but the environment there was unique. This super-large battlefield didn't possess such peculiarities.
It wouldn't be easy to defeat the experts from the Star Alliance in this super-large battlefield.
To wash away their prior shame, the several pinnacle beings of the Star Alliance had prepared numerous backup plans.
Super-large Battlefield.
Periphery Region.
Lin Yuan quickly stabilized his descent and slowly landed on the ground.
"Is this the periphery of the super-large battlefield?"
Lin Yuan looked around. As far as his eyes could see, there were ancient trees towering into the sky, lush and verdant with no end in sight.
Each of these ancient trees exuded a surging vitality. If not for the temporal suppression of the battlefield, they might have been able to transform into true living beings in the main universe.
"There are a total of three 11th-tier powerhouses from the Human Civilization Alliance who fell into this area?"
Lin Yuan followed his causal perception to ascertain the number of 11th-tier experts from the Human Civilization Alliance in this region.
There were a total of 333 peripheral regions in the super-large battlefield, and in each of these regions, there were only four 11th-tier powerhouses from the Human Civilization Alliance. This could be considered rather unfortunate.
With such a small number of 11th-tier experts from the Human Civilization Alliance, they would undoubtedly face suppression and targeting from other races when competing for the temporal path leading to the core region.
Of course.
All of this was based on one premise.
That Lin Yuan wasn't present.
"Where is the temporal path?"
Lin Yuan carefully sensed his surroundings. In each of the 333 peripheral regions, there was a temporal path located somewhere within.
Moreover, this temporal path was easily discoverable; one merely needed to perceive the temporal fluctuations to locate it.
"The temporal suppression here is formidable; it's challenging to perform long-distance spatial movement."
Lin Yuan mused to himself.
This was the reason why only one temporal path was left in each of the 333 peripheral regions.
Unable to utilize spatial movement, even a perfect 11th-tier powerhouse would have to fly from the periphery to the core region. By the time they arrived, the war in the super-large battlefield would probably be over.
Only by traversing the temporal path could one reach the core region in the shortest time and participate in the competition and battles among the twelve peak race forces.
"However, with my comprehension of the sixth level of temporal laws, I should still be able to perform spatial movement, though I won't be able to match the strides of a billion light-years like in the outside world."
Lin Yuan attempted it briefly before arriving at a conclusion.
If even he couldn't do it, then those 11th-tier powerhouses would have no choice but to fly slowly.
"First, I need to reach that temporal path."
Lin Yuan took a step forward, and his figure vanished from his original spot.
At the same time.
In the peripheral region where Lin Yuan had descended.
Numerous foreign 11th-tier powerhouses began to survey their surroundings.
"In this region, my Star Alliance has a total of 53 11th-tier experts. We've got this in the bag."
A being with a gigantic rocky body smiled as he perceived the causal relationship.
With tens of thousands of 11th-tier powerhouses descending upon the 333 peripheral regions, on average, there were about 200 11th-tier experts in each region.
Among the 200 11th-tier powerhouses, there were representatives from the alliance of the twelve peak race forces, and the Star Alliance had 23 11th-tier experts, exceeding the average number. They were highly likely to occupy a favorable position.
With the joint efforts of 53 11th-tier experts from the Star Alliance, it was highly probable that they would all enter the temporal path and reach the core region.
At that time, the influence of the Star Alliance in the core region would increase, and it might even affect the final outcome of the battle.
In another barren land.
A figure clad in pitch-black armor stood silently.
"In this region, my Jail Clan only has twelve 11th-tier experts?" This figure from the Jail Clan opened his mouth to reveal a smile. "But with me here, my clan will take twelve out of the hundred slots on the temporal path."
This Jail Clan expert was at the fifth level of the 11th tier and held an ultimate weapon in his hand.
Among the tens of thousands of 11th-tier experts from the twelve peak race forces, only a few hundred to a thousand were qualified to possess ultimate weapons.
Spread across the 330 peripheral regions, there might only be one or two experts of this caliber in each region.
Thus, the Jail Clan expert was extremely confident. With his ultimate weapon, he believed that he stood at the pinnacle of the tens of thousands of 11th-tier experts, and only those who also possessed ultimate weapons could pose a threat to him.
"Where is the temporal path?"
The Jail Clan expert sensed his surroundings for a moment before ascertaining the location of the temporal path. He then soared into the sky and flew in a certain direction.
In the super-large battlefield, the temporal suppression was heavy. Even a perfect 11th-tier expert at the fifth level of temporal laws couldn't rely on their own power to perform spatial movement.
Hence, the only way to reach the temporal path was by flying.
In another hilly area.
An enormous hive descended.
"This peripheral region..."
This hive belonged to the Insect Clan, and after observing her surroundings, the Insect Clan expert quickly began to gather her insect warriors.
Within her hive, countless insect warriors had already been bred, and in less than a moment, tens of thousands of 11th-tier insect warriors emerged, filling the area around the hive.
These 11th-tier insect warriors only possessed strength at the threshold of the 11th tier. In a one-on-one battle, they wouldn't even be able to defeat an 11th-tier expert at the first level.
But what they lacked in strength, they made up for in numbers.
Tens of thousands of 11th-tier insect warriors charged forward in a swarm, and even an 11th-tier expert at the fourth or fifth level would have to expend some effort to deal with them.
Moreover, these tens of thousands of insect warriors were merely the initial brood of this hive. As time passed, she could breed even more powerful insect warriors, surpassing the threshold of the 11th tier.
Before a massive temporal maze.
Lin Yuan's figure came to a stop.
"It seems I'm the first one to arrive."
This arrangement was designed to prevent certain 11th-tier powerhouses from having an advantage by being closer to the temporal path and thus reaching it unimpeded.
With his comprehension of the sixth level of temporal laws, Lin Yuan could perform spatial movement even in this super-large battlefield, so he naturally arrived first.
"This temporal maze..." Lin Yuan observed his surroundings briefly.
Before each temporal path stood a temporal maze.
One would have to overcome this temporal maze to truly arrive before the temporal path.
"Too easy."
Lin Yuan took a step forward, effortlessly bypassing the temporal maze and appearing before the temporal path.
Outside the super-large battlefield.
Numerous 12th-tier powerhouses were also observing the various peripheral regions.
"Hmm?"
"How is the Human Civilization's Galaxy Star Master able to perform spatial movement within the battlefield?"
Soon, one of the peak beings noticed this anomaly, a hint of surprise flashing across their face.
According to the standards they had set for this super-large battlefield, it was basically impossible for an 11th-tier life form to perform spatial movement on their own.
"It seems that the Human Civilization has put in a lot of effort for this Galaxy Star Master, bestowing upon him a spatial treasure that can forcibly shift him."
A mother emperor from the Insect Clan coldly smiled, glancing at the few peak beings of the Human Civilization.
Within the super-large battlefield, no 11th-tier powerhouse, not even those at the perfect 11th tier, could perform spatial movement on their own.
However, by relying on a certain spatial treasure, one could break this limitation.
But such spatial treasures were exceedingly rare, especially for them to be effective in the hands of a newly advanced 11th-tier powerhouse.
Any treasure, upon reaching a certain level, would require the user to meet certain standards before it could be utilized.
For example, to refine an ultimate weapon, one would need to have at least a fifth-level comprehension of temporal laws. The same was true for activating a spatial treasure that could forcibly shift its user.
To bypass or lower these standards, the treasure itself would have to be exceedingly precious.
"What business does the Insect Clan have meddling in the affairs of my Human Civilization?"
Xiah Qin, the peak being, glanced at the mother emperor, responding nonchalantly.
In truth, Xiah Qin was also puzzled. He didn't recall bestowing upon Lin Yuan a spatial treasure that could forcibly shift him.
Xiah Qin had considered giving Lin Yuan such a treasure, but Lin Yuan had refused.
"Could he have obtained some unique spatial treasure in the two-dimensional world?" Xiah Qin speculated, knowing that Lin Yuan had acquired many wondrous items in the two-dimensional world. He didn't pry further, as those were Lin Yuan's personal gains.
The super-large battlefield was filled with temporal disruptions, making it difficult even for 12th-tier peak beings to perceive all spatial fluctuations.
Thus, the peak beings of the twelve peak races couldn't determine if Lin Yuan's spatial movement ability was derived from his own power or from a spatial treasure.
However, based on Lin Yuan's initial performance as an 11th-tier powerhouse, they subconsciously assumed that he must be relying on a unique spatial treasure to achieve all this.
Even Xiah Qin held this belief.
Although he had witnessed Lin Yuan's advancement to the 11th tier, Xiah Qin never imagined that this Galaxy Star Master had already reached the sixth level of comprehension in temporal laws, a level comparable to peak beings.
"Bestowing such a spatial treasure upon a newly advanced 11th-tier powerhouse is like pouring water into a sieve," the Insect Clan's mother emperor remarked coldly.
Within the super-large battlefield, it was difficult for 11th-tier powerhouses at the fifth or sixth level to perish, especially if they wielded an ultimate weapon.
However, Lin Yuan was merely a newly advanced 11th-tier powerhouse. No matter how monstrous his talent, without the refinement of an ultimate weapon, there was a possibility of his death.
Should he die, even if it was just one of his avatars, that unique spatial treasure would be lost.
If it fell into the hands of a peak being from another race, it would be challenging for the Human Civilization to retrieve it.
"The temporal path."
Lin Yuan stood before the temporal path.
Now, he could enter it at any time and proceed to the core region.
However...
Lin Yuan glanced back.
It would be a waste to head to the core region directly.
Moreover, there were several 11th-tier powerhouses from the Human Civilization Alliance behind him.
If Lin Yuan proceeded to the core region now, those 11th-tier powerhouses from the Human Civilization Alliance would likely be left stranded in the peripheral region.
With this thought, Lin Yuan sat down cross-legged, blocking the temporal path as he quietly waited for the arrival of other foreign 11th-tier powerhouses.
Time passed.
In the blink of an eye, half a day went by.
Before the temporal path, the temporal maze began to churn, as if numerous powerhouses were clashing within it.
"Hahahaha!"
"So what if you have an ultimate weapon, Meng Chui? With your strength, how many strikes can you unleash with it?" A massive rocky being laughed loudly as he strode out of the temporal maze, looking proud.
Meng Chui was the 11th-tier powerhouse from the Jail Clan, holding an ultimate weapon in his hand.
Whoosh!
The next moment, a figure clad in black armor, Meng Chui, also burst out of the temporal maze. He coldly glanced at the giant rocky being but said nothing.
With over fifty 11th-tier experts from the Star Alliance in this region, there was no need to clash with them relentlessly.
After all, there were a hundred slots to enter the temporal path, which was more than enough.
"Hmm?"
Upon exiting the temporal maze, the massive rocky being immediately noticed Lin Yuan sitting cross-legged before the temporal path.
"The Galaxy Star Master?"
The rocky being immediately recognized him.
There was no way anyone could mistake the Galaxy Star Master, especially after his advancement to the 11th tier, which had made him famous among the myriad races of the Star Alliance.
"The Galaxy Star Master?"
Meng Chui from the Jail Clan also looked toward Lin Yuan, a confused expression on his face.
They had rushed toward the temporal path without any delay, especially during the clashes within the temporal maze.
Yet, they hadn't seen the Galaxy Star Master at all during that time.
Now, the Galaxy Star Master was sitting right here?
Didn't that imply that he had arrived long before they even started entering the temporal maze?
Otherwise, how could they have missed seeing him? Meng Chui was perplexed. Given the Galaxy Star Master's strength as a newly advanced 11th-tier powerhouse, why had he arrived so much earlier than them?
Furthermore, the Galaxy Star Master had arrived but hadn't entered the temporal path. Instead, he sat before it. Any cultivator who had reached the 11th tier would have their thoughts racing. Meng Chui immediately sensed that something was amiss and refrained from making any hasty moves.
Just as the massive rocky being and Meng Chui were filled with doubt.
Lin Yuan finally opened his eyes, looking at the numerous foreign 11th-tier powerhouses who had yet to emerge from the temporal maze, and said with a smile, "You're finally here."
