Outside the supermassive battlefield.
The peak twelfth-level beings were also paying close attention to every development within the battlefield.
"Hahaha! The first powerhouse to reach the core battlefield is from our Celestial Feather Clan!"
"Being the first to arrive doesn't guarantee an advantage."
"The core battlefield is vast; there isn't much difference between being the first or the last to arrive."
The twelfth-level beings discussed amongst themselves.
The core battlefield was the true stage of this supermassive battlefield, and only eleventh-level powerhouses who entered it could be considered participants in this clash between the pinnacle cosmic groups.
"Hmm? The Galaxy Lord of the Human Civilization?"
"Why didn't he enter the spacetime passage and instead chose to sit there?"
"Something's not right. How has the Galaxy Lord's strength increased so drastically?"
As Lin Yuan began his slaughter of the eleventh-level beings from other races, the expressions of the twelfth-level beings gradually changed.
It wasn't because the eleventh-level beings Lin Yuan had killed were particularly important, but because this newly advanced Galaxy Lord exhibited such formidable strength.
"Your Human Civilization has paid a hefty price to nurture this Galaxy Lord."
"I presume it exhausted a significant amount of origin energy from the 'illusory realm,' right? Otherwise, how could the Galaxy Lord have attained such profound spacetime comprehension in such a short time?"
"Hmph, the spacetime origin energy replicated by the illusory realm is still different from the natural spacetime origin energy of the universe. Are you not afraid of destabilizing his foundation by forcing his growth like this?"
The twelfth-level beings sneered, and the entire supermassive battlefield, in a strict sense, was a colossal twelfth-level weapon capable of blocking the perceptions of the most powerful beings.
After all, at their level of existence, even a fleeting malicious or murderous intent could influence the eleventh-level powerhouses.
To ensure relative fairness in the supermassive battlefield, the most powerful beings were unable to directly extend their perceptions into the battlefield.
However, even without probing with their perceptions, the twelfth-level beings could vaguely sense that the Galaxy Lord's comprehension of spacetime was not to be underestimated.
The various pinnacle cosmic groups had carefully gathered information about the Galaxy Lord.
He had only recently advanced to the eleventh-level, yet he possessed such terrifying spacetime comprehension. There was only one explanation for this.
The Human Civilization must have created a 'world beyond' specifically for the Galaxy Lord, replicated the rules of the universe's starry sky using the 'illusory realm,' and finally slowed down the flow of time, allowing the Galaxy Lord to spend an extended period in that 'world beyond.'
"Is that so?"
The ancient power, Gu Li, coldly huffed and secretly transmitted to the butterfly power, "Yu Die, did you really do that?"
"It's best to comprehend spacetime fluctuations within the universe comprehensively. For a genius like the Galaxy Lord, using the illusory realm might be more detrimental than beneficial."
Gu Li also felt that this approach was somewhat inappropriate.
With Lin Yuan's displayed talent and aptitude, there was no need to rush things in such a manner.
"I've never used the illusory realm for the Galaxy Lord." Yu Die immediately denied through secret transmission, "The illusory realm is our clan's treasure, and although I refine and safeguard it, you all know that I can't use it without your knowledge."
"You didn't use it?"
Gu Li and the other powerful beings exchanged glances.
If the illusory realm hadn't been used to replicate spacetime origin energy for the Galaxy Lord to comprehend, how had he achieved such a level of spacetime comprehension?
Virtual World.
Personal Space.
Lin Yuan sat in a recliner, savoring the fine wine before him.
During his cultivation breaks, Lin Yuan often came to the virtual world to relax.
With Lin Yuan's vast mental will, it was effortless for him to multitask, allocating a tiny fraction of his mental will to descend upon the virtual world and enjoy himself.
"This is insane, too insane."
Seated in a recliner opposite Lin Yuan was Nalanhui, the vice-tower master, his face unable to conceal his astonishment.
Information about the supermassive battlefield was constantly circulating among the eleventh-level powerhouses, including Lin Yuan's slaying of the Jail Clan's Ming Chui and the massive rock creature.
Since their true selves were still alive, they had no reason to conceal their encounters.
In particular, Ming Chui of the Jail Clan went out of his way to downplay the fact that he had lost an ultimate weapon, even going so far as to exaggerate the Galaxy Lord's prowess.
After all, it would seem more reasonable that he had lost an ultimate weapon to someone as formidable as the Galaxy Lord, wouldn't it?
"Have you entered the core battlefield yet?" Lin Yuan asked casually.
"I've been lucky. The edge region I descended upon had more than thirty eleventh-level powerhouses from the Human Civilization Alliance." Nalanhui replied.
With over thirty eleventh-level powerhouses from the Human Civilization Alliance working together, they could monopolize a portion of the spacetime road's quota.
All the eleventh-level powerhouses from the Human Civilization Alliance in that region would be able to enter the core battlefield safely.
This was the advantage of unity.
In Lin Yuan's region, the massive rock creature and dozens of other unique lifeforms had intended to do the same, even temporarily driving away Ming Chui of the Jail Clan, who possessed an ultimate weapon.
For example, the Insect Clan's 'Insect Swarm Tactics' are based on this principle.
However, when the disparity in strength is too great, having more numbers doesn't make much of a difference.
"That's good then."
Lin Yuan nodded slightly.
"By the way,"
"I heard about something."
Nalan, the vice-tower master, said in a low voice as if he had just remembered something: "The strongest eleventh-level beings from the Insect Clan, the Celestial Feather Clan, and others who have entered the battlefield plan to join forces to surround and kill you."
The strength Lin Yuan had displayed made the eleventh-level beings from the Insect Clan, the Celestial Feather Clan, and other groups feel threatened, which is why they had the idea of ganging up on him.
"Surround and kill me?"
Lin Yuan's interest was piqued.
This was exactly what he wanted.
When he was slaughtering the massive rock creature, Ming Chui of the Jail Clan, and other eleventh-level beings from different races, Lin Yuan had intentionally suppressed his strength for this very moment.
If he had shown his full power and crushed all the eleventh-level beings from the other races, even Ming Chui, who possessed an ultimate weapon, wouldn't have lasted more than a few breaths.
How could those strongest eleventh-level beings from the Insect Clan and Celestial Feather Clan have the courage to come and surround him then?
They would have run for their lives.
"Yes."
"You must be careful."
Nalan's expression turned solemn as he spoke.
Even though he knew about Lin Yuan's impressive feats, facing the strongest eleventh-level beings from the various peak cosmic groups still made him hope that Lin Yuan would be as cautious as possible.
Those strongest eleventh-level beings weren't just relying on themselves; they most likely had backup from the ultimate beings supporting them from behind the scenes. The Celestial Feather Clan's Tianyu Meng had even brought their clan's heirloom weapon into the battlefield.
The power of a clan's heirloom weapon far surpassed that of an ultimate weapon. Over countless eons, a peak cosmic group would have collected and crafted countless ultimate weapons, and perhaps only a dozen or so could be considered clan heirlooms.
For example, a few hundred years ago, the extreme light from beyond the universe served as the main material for crafting ultimate weapons. A complete beam of that light could probably create seven or eight ultimate weapons.
However, for a clan's heirloom weapon? Even with the opportunity that descended from beyond the universe, which was obtained by the human civilization, the number of weapons that could be considered clan heirlooms would not exceed ten.
The other peak cosmic groups would have even fewer.
"Understood."
Lin Yuan nodded.
While Lin Yuan was confident, he wasn't foolish. He naturally understood the terrifying power of a clan's heirloom weapon.
Super Massive Battlefield.
Core Region Battlefield.
Using the spacetime road, Lin Yuan arrived at this place.
"The spacetime suppression here has increased significantly."
Lin Yuan looked around, taking in the endless world before him.
"With my current level of spacetime comprehension, the maximum distance I can teleport is probably a few light-years, but the cost is enormous."
Lin Yuan thought to himself.
While taking a step that covered a few light-years was considered slow, this was a super massive battlefield carefully crafted by the pinnacle beings, and under the spacetime suppression, the eleventh-level powerhouses could only travel by flying.
Although Lin Yuan could still perform spatial teleportation, his consumption of energy had started to increase significantly.
With his comprehension of the sixth level of spacetime, he could forcibly manipulate the spatial rules of the super massive battlefield, but Lin Yuan was not a pinnacle being. Even if he had the means to manipulate it, he lacked the corresponding foundational power to do so.
"I guess I'll fly slowly too."
Lin Yuan abandoned the idea of continuing to teleport.
There was no need to waste too much energy on this.
It would be most beneficial to save his energy for when he encountered enemies and then use spatial teleportation to chase and kill them.
"Currently, the eleventh-level powerhouses from the Human Civilization Alliance have chosen to establish their war base in that direction."
As the highest commander of the Human Civilization Alliance in this battlefield, Lin Yuan was privy to many top-secret pieces of information, including the location of the war base.
The war base was the main camp of a peak cosmic group established in this super massive battlefield.
The war base was not just crucial for this battle but would also serve as the foundation for expansion in subsequent wars.
"Let's head to the war base first." Lin Yuan changed his direction and flew toward a certain location.
Time passed.
In the blink of an eye, several days went by.
Lin Yuan flew swiftly, his vast senses spreading out from him and covering a radius of hundreds of thousands of miles.
In this super massive battlefield, the heavy spacetime suppression not only restricted spatial teleportation but also limited the range of one's senses.
If he were in the universe, Lin Yuan's senses could cover hundreds of light-years in an instant, but in this super massive battlefield, it could only slowly spread out to a hundred thousand or even a million miles.
"Hmm? There's a battle happening a million miles away?"
Lin Yuan seemed to have sensed something, and his gaze shifted to the right front.
Although the core region battlefield was vast, it was still possible for strong beings from different cosmic groups to encounter each other from time to time.
When these strong beings met, if their respective cosmic groups were enemies, a battle would inevitably ensue.
"Let's go take a look."
Lin Yuan's heart stirred, and he headed toward the source of the battle.
Soon.
Lin Yuan clearly sensed the two parties that were engaged in battle.
"Nine eleventh-level beings, five against four?"
Lin Yuan's eyebrows rose slightly, "And one of them is a familiar person?"
