Chapter 446: Turn of the Palm
Chapter 446: Turn of the Palm (Subscription Request)
As the greatest genius in the history of human civilization, Lin Yuan knew many powerful beings.
Numerous powerful beings from other races yearned to forge connections with the Galaxy Master. It wasn't just because of the potential of human civilization, but also Lin Yuan's own potential.
With the cultivation speed Lin Yuan had displayed, he was the most promising candidate of this era to reach the ultimate stage and step into the Eleventh Tier of existence.
The Galaxy Master was undoubtedly among those with such potential.
Who wouldn't want to be on good terms with a future Twelfth Tier ultimate life form? Why did the ancient god Si Zhong hold such an esteemed position in the universe, to the extent that even peak races were reluctant to push him too hard?
Wasn't it because this ancient god had once 'sponsored' a life form who had not yet reached the Twelfth Tier?
While Lin Yuan knew quite a few powerful beings, there were very few he could call acquaintances, especially among other races.
Lin Yuan's gaze turned towards two powerful beings engaged in a fierce battle a million miles away.
One side belonged to the Insectoid race, and the other to the Jailer race.
Both were forces of peak races. Although the Insectoid race only had four individuals, three of them were Insectoid Queens who had summoned countless Eleventh Tier Insectoid warriors. These warriors fought fearlessly, relentlessly entangling the five Jailer individuals.
Despite the Jailer race having greater numbers, the Insectoids were pressing them back with sheer momentum.
"Ancient God Tuoba."
Lin Yuan's eyes fell on one particular figure among the Insectoids, who was concealed within the masses of Insectoid warriors, adding pressure on the besieged Jailers.
It was indeed Ancient God Tuoba.
Lin Yuan had a strong impression of this ancient god of the stars.
Initially, Ancient God Tuoba had taken away a strand of his friend Fang Qing's mental will and used it to 'blackmail' Lin Yuan, attempting to obtain resources to reach the ultimate stage.
Later, in the Two-dimensional World, Lin Yuan had taken the opportunity to kill Ancient God Tuoba once, but it had only been a clone.
Now, not long after entering the core region of the battlefield, he had encountered this ancient god of the stars once again.
"What a coincidence. I guess it's time to kill you again."
A smile appeared on Lin Yuan's face.
Although there was absolutely no chance of Ancient God Tuoba's 'blackmail' succeeding, the very fact that he had dared to threaten Lin Yuan left a bad taste in his mouth. Now that they had met again, Lin Yuan naturally wouldn't let him go.
Moreover, Ancient God Tuoba belonged to the Insectoid Grand Alliance, which was hostile to the Human Civilization Alliance.
Even without Ancient God Tuoba's involvement, Lin Yuan would have happily crushed them.
In the sky above a desolate mountain range, the rules of space-time fluctuated wildly. The five Eleventh Tier Jailer individuals furrowed their brows as they fought and killed the endless waves of Insectoid warriors while also enduring the soul attacks from the three Insectoid Queens.
And then there was Ancient God Tuoba's sneak attacks.
"These insects are really annoying."
"Big brother, let's just use the ultimate weapon."
One of the Jailers with two horns on his head transmitted his voice.
"Use the ultimate weapon?"
The leading Jailer hesitated slightly.
The ultimate weapon was a super weapon, a trump card.
It couldn't be used lightly, and the cost of activating it was enormous.
However, the current situation was at a stalemate, and it would be pointless to continue like this. They had to use the ultimate weapon to break free from the encirclement of the Insectoid warriors.
"Tuoba, they're about to use their ultimate weapon," one of the Insectoid Queens seemed to sense something and immediately transmitted her voice to Ancient God Tuoba.
"I know," Ancient God Tuoba replied, his expression solemn as he prepared to use the ultimate weapon in his possession.
As he waited for the right moment, Ancient God Tuoba's thoughts raced, "How is the Galaxy Master so strong? He actually managed to kill Meng Chui?"
Regret filled Ancient God Tuoba's heart at that moment.
Initially, he had thought that with his own strength, coupled with the ultimate weapon bestowed by the Insectoids, his survival on the battlefield would be guaranteed.
However, he hadn't expected that the various peak races would pull out all the stops for the sake of dominating this super-large-scale battlefield. The commander of the Insectoid Grand Alliance on the battlefield definitely had the ability to suppress ordinary Eleventh Tier beings with ultimate weapons.
The Insectoid Queens hadn't mentioned this to Ancient God Tuoba before he entered the battlefield.
Compared to the Insectoids, Ancient God Tuoba was an outsider, and thus, he was kept in the dark about many confidential matters.
In a way, it wasn't surprising that some battlefield secrets were hidden from Ancient God Tuoba.
Even if the intensity of the war on the super-large-scale battlefield far exceeded expectations, Ancient God Tuoba's own strength, coupled with the ultimate weapon, still gave him a high chance of survival.
Although Ancient God Tuoba was only at the fifth level of the Eleventh Tier, he had brought his true body instead of a clone, making him much stronger than his clone would have been. Moreover, some of his trump cards were estimated to rival even a perfect Eleventh Tier being.
However, the Galaxy Master's strength was simply too terrifying.
Ancient God Tuoba had no doubt that if the Galaxy Master encountered him on the battlefield, he wouldn't hesitate to make a move.
"I am here with my true body, and I cannot afford to take any risks. Once I reach the Insectoid Grand Alliance's war base, I will hide there and not come out," Ancient God Tuoba made up his mind. His life was the most important thing.
In fact, when he had learned of the Galaxy Master's strength, Ancient God Tuoba had considered withdrawing from the super-large-scale battlefield.
However, once one entered the battlefield, there was no turning back. Unless one waited for specific milestones in the progression of the war, there was simply no possibility of withdrawing midway.
Hum!
A terrifying fluctuation emerged from the Jailer side as the leading Jailer produced a 'pagoda' weapon. Golden light began to spread in all directions.
"Rise!"
Ancient God Tuoba also quickly activated his gray 'bell', an ultimate defensive weapon that also possessed suppressive abilities.
Just as the auras of the two ultimate weapons were about to collide...
The fluctuations of space-time suddenly disappeared.
A young man appeared in the sky above the two sides, his sleeves fluttering. A dark yellow energy field descended, suppressing the ultimate weapons of the Jailers and Ancient God Tuoba in an instant.
"What is that?"
The five Jailer individuals looked up at the young man, their eyes widening as they recognized him. "It's the Galaxy Master!"
"We're in trouble now."
The five Jailer individuals tensed up.
They were naturally well aware of the Galaxy Master's achievements on the battlefield, having heard of how he had killed Meng Chui, who possessed an ultimate weapon. The Galaxy Master now stood at the pinnacle of the battlefield, towering over tens of thousands of Eleventh Tier beings.
"The Galaxy Master?"
The four Insectoid Queens' expressions turned ugly. The Human Civilization and the Insectoids were already hostile to each other, and the Galaxy Master's sudden appearance left no doubt as to his intentions.
"Run!"
Three of the Insectoid Queens didn't hesitate to abandon the countless Insectoid warriors as they transformed into beams of light and fled into the distance.
In the eyes of the countless Eleventh Tier Insectoids, unless they were among the very strongest, there was absolutely no thought of resisting the Galaxy Master.
"The Galaxy Master?"
Ancient God Tuoba, who was activating his bell-shaped ultimate weapon, felt his heart fill with chaos.
The core region of the battlefield was vast, and even though Ancient God Tuoba now knew of the Galaxy Master's strength, he believed that as long as he hid in the war base, he could keep his life intact.
Lin Yuan glanced at the three fleeing Insectoid Queens, his mind stirring as the dark yellow energy field crushed down, enveloping them. Two of the queens exploded instantly, while the remaining one shimmered with a faint crystalline glow.
"A supreme weapon?" Lin Yuan took a second glance.
With his current strength, very few Eleventh Tier beings could withstand his passive means of attack, the dark yellow energy field.
Rumble, rumble, rumble!
Like a vast ocean, the dark yellow energy field engulfed Ancient God Tuoba, who was also attempting to flee.
The bell-shaped supreme weapon's aura spread, momentarily resisting the dark yellow energy field, but Tuoba's heart sank.
According to the Insectoid Queens' assessment of the Galaxy Master's power, if one was enveloped by his dark yellow energy field, escape was highly unlikely.
"Galaxy Master, your grudge with the Insectoids is none of our business. Do as you please with them, we're leaving." The five Jailer individuals seized the opportunity to flee as well.
"You're staying too." Lin Yuan spared them a glance, with no intention of letting the Jailers go.
After all, they possessed a supreme weapon, and he couldn't afford to let them escape.
Swish, swish, swish!
The dark yellow energy field, as solid as reality itself, suppressed and immobilized the three supreme weapons.
"Galaxy Master, do you think you can wear us down?" The five Jailer individuals were a mix of shock and fury, their movements hindered within the energy field as if they were wading through mud.
Supreme weapons were indestructible, and the only way to defeat an Eleventh Tier being wielding one was to exhaust them.
To wear them out until they could no longer activate their supreme weapon.
"We'll see about that." Lin Yuan, if he utilized his full strength, could easily exhaust the Insectoids and the Jailers.
But there was no need for that.
Since they were already trapped, their lives were in his hands, and there was no benefit in revealing more of his capabilities.
Time passed.
In the blink of an eye, over an hour had gone by.
Ancient God Tuoba was struggling to hold on.
"Galaxy Master, if you let me go, I'm willing to agree to any conditions." Ancient God Tuoba transmitted his voice, desperation seeping through.
He wanted to attempt the breakthrough to the ultimate stage, even if the odds were slim. What if he succeeded? He would ascend to the Twelfth Tier, shake the universe, and perhaps even become one of the rulers of a peak race.
But now, all of that seemed so distant.
"No need."
Lin Yuan shook his head. With his current strength, Ancient God Tuoba was of no use to him, and he didn't even bother to enslave him.
Half an hour later...
A determined look appeared on Ancient God Tuoba's face as he began to burn through all his resources, desperately trying to activate his bell-shaped supreme weapon to break free from the dark yellow energy field's restraints.
But it was all in vain. Eventually, the bell-shaped supreme weapon's aura faded, and under the omnipresent dark yellow energy field, Ancient God Tuoba turned to ashes.
The vast amount of vital energy and soul power, refined by the primal energy, transformed into the purest essence and was absorbed by Lin Yuan into his internal world.
"Dead?"
Lin Yuan put away the bell-shaped supreme weapon, glanced at it casually, and then stored it in his internal world.
"Hmm?"
Lin Yuan's eyebrows furrowed slightly.
At the moment of Ancient God Tuoba's death within the dark yellow energy field, Lin Yuan clearly sensed that the causal connection between them had disappeared.
There were only two possible explanations for this occurrence.
One, Ancient God Tuoba had a far deeper understanding of the rules of causality, allowing him to easily conceal his causal line.
But this possibility was almost non-existent. Understanding the rules was not something that happened overnight. Just a moment ago, Lin Yuan could easily sense Tuoba's causal line, and now he couldn't? In an instant, had Tuoba's comprehension of the rules of causality surpassed Lin Yuan's?
That was highly unrealistic.
The second possibility was that Ancient God Tuoba had been utterly annihilated.
With his death, all causality was erased, and it was natural for Lin Yuan to no longer sense their causal connection.
"So, this Ancient God Tuoba brought his true body into the battlefield?"
Lin Yuan was slightly surprised.
Only when the true body perished would all the clones simultaneously disappear, severing the causal line.
"Makes sense. It hasn't been long since the Two-dimensional World incident, and Ancient God Tuoba wouldn't have had the time to cultivate new clones. Additionally, with the protection of a supreme weapon, it's entirely possible for him to bring his true body into the battlefield."
Lin Yuan quickly figured it out.
While sending one's true body into the battlefield entailed great risk, it also presented opportunities. The true body was stronger than clones, and with numerous trump cards and backup plans, its explosive power far surpassed that of clones.
With his true body and a supreme weapon, Ancient God Tuoba's chances of survival were significantly improved.
"Indeed, it's his true body, and he has a lot of treasures with him."
Lin Yuan took a look at Ancient God Tuoba's spatial ring, which contained a plethora of resources and treasures.
Since Ancient God Tuoba had decided to bring his true body into the battlefield, he naturally brought along all his accumulated treasures. After all, if his true body perished, those treasures would be meaningless.
As a unique life form without the constraints of a race, Ancient God Tuoba had no offspring to pass his possessions to, so he kept everything with him.
"This is a windfall."
A smile appeared on Lin Yuan's face. Aside from the gains from defeating Ancient God Tuoba, the act of slaying a Fifth Rank Eleventh Tier powerhouse brought a substantial amount of merit points in the eyes of Human Civilization.
After Ancient God Tuoba's death...
The Insectoid Queen and the five Jailer individuals couldn't hold on any longer, and they perished one after the other within Lin Yuan's dark yellow energy field. Everything they had was transformed into the purest essence, becoming nourishment for Lin Yuan's cultivation of the *Xuan Huang Body*.
Collecting the two supreme weapons and taking stock of his gains, Lin Yuan felt a surge of emotion.
"Back then, when I faced Ancient God Tuoba, I could only rely on the deterrence of Human Civilization to pressure him. But in reality, he didn't put me in his eyes at all. Otherwise, he wouldn't have dared to 'blackmail' me."
"Ancient God Tuoba, as an Eleventh Tier ancient god, didn't spare me a second glance when I was only Ninth Tier. But now, even with a supreme weapon, he died by my hand. Killing him is no different from squashing an ant."
Lin Yuan thought to himself, "Power, this is what absolute power brings."
A strong desire to become stronger emerged within Lin Yuan. While he could kill Ancient God Tuoba now, he knew that Twelfth Tier powerhouses could easily do the same to him.
In the face of such supreme power, he was helpless, able only to hide within the Xuan Huang Secret Realm for protection.
"I must become a supreme powerhouse."
Lin Yuan's gaze hardened with determination. Only by attaining supreme power could he have the capital to roam this universe freely, no longer an ant in the eyes of the ultimate existences.
