Chapter 457: The Twelfth-Tier Entrance
Chapter 457: The Twelfth-Tier Entrance (End of Chapter)
After activating his divine ability 'World', Lin Yuan could only maintain it for six seconds.
Within these six seconds, Lin Yuan decided to attempt to kill the strongest eleventh-tier Insectoid.
The main reason for this was the deep-seated hatred between the Human Civilization and the Insectoids.
Back when Lin Yuan was still weak and inexperienced, he had faced several assassination attempts.
Most of these plots had originated from the Insectoids.
Given these circumstances, the target of his attack would naturally be an Insectoid.
"Galaxy Starlord!"
The strongest eleventh-tier Insectoid emitted a sharp cry, and an invisible wave of soul energy swept out in all directions.
However, as these soul waves came into contact with Lin Yuan, they seemed to sink into a quagmire, becoming sluggish and ineffective.
In the eyes of the strongest eleventh-tier Insectoid, Lin Yuan's right hand, which was pressing down on her, seemed to grow larger and larger, and the terrifying pressure it exerted gave her the illusion that she was facing an all-powerful being.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
Just then, the Nightmare Realm above the head of the strongest eleventh-tier Insectoid suddenly emitted a hazy glow.
This hazy light was completely different from the radiance that the Insectoid had emitted earlier. It was filled with an illusory aura that made everything seem like a dream.
Even Lin Yuan's mind was briefly captivated by this illusion for an instant, but the next moment, he broke free with his powerful mental will.
"Hmm?"
"What a strong mental will?"
A slightly surprised voice echoed, and Lin Yuan looked up to see a phantom figure slowly emerging from the Nightmare Realm.
Although this figure was extremely ethereal, it gave Lin Yuan a sense of utter realism, reminiscent of a supreme being like Yu Die.
"Is this the Ultimate Twelfth-Tier?"
Lin Yuan's figure vanished, and he reappeared in the air above the altar.
Although he had known that killing the strongest eleventh-tier Insectoid would trigger the backup plan of the Twelfth-Tier Ultimate trapped within the clan's heirloom, he hadn't expected it to be a phantom projection.
Even if this phantom was just an avatar of the Ultimate, it was not something the current Lin Yuan could handle.
Moreover, the clan's heirloom was still in the hands of the Insectoid Ultimate, and if the avatar were to wield it, the destructive power it could unleash would be immense, perhaps falling just short of a million points.
"Hahaha, Wan Hua, as the mighty Ultimate that you are, appearing to bully a little kid is a bit unsavory, don't you think?" Within the altar, a ring on Xuanyuan You's right hand also shone with a brilliant light.
A figure of a man took form, his gaze fixed on the racial Ultimate that had emerged from the Nightmare Realm.
"It's Xuanyuan, the Supreme Expert," Lin Yuan thought as he looked at the man's figure.
Of the nine Supreme Experts of Human Civilization, Lin Yuan was most familiar with Xia Qin, the Supreme Expert, as he belonged to the Xia Yu Evolution Tower.
Although Lin Yuan had not interacted much with Xuanyuan, he knew that Xuanyuan was the first Supreme Expert to be born in Human Civilization.
He was also the Supreme Expert who had endured the most pressure and made the greatest sacrifices among the nine Supreme Experts of Human Civilization.
It was common knowledge that Human Civilization had obtained the Final Opportunity, a shower of countless heirloom treasures from beyond the universe.
When Human Civilization was still weak and fledgling, the Twelfth-Tier Ultimates of the universe naturally had no interest in them.
However, when Human Civilization produced its first Supreme Expert, these Twelfth-Tier Ultimates naturally turned their attention to them, exposing the Final Opportunity.
Human Civilization and the newly ascended Xuanyuan became the focus of the entire universe.
The Twelfth-Tier Ultimates lurked in the shadows, ready to pounce, and there was always a possibility of them ganging up on Human Civilization to plunder the Final Opportunity.
No one knew the price Xuanyuan had paid to lead Human Civilization through those trying times. Finally, with the birth of the second, third, and fourth Supreme Experts, the situation for Human Civilization improved significantly.
"Mother Empress Wan Hua."
Lin Yuan's eyes fell on the figure that had emerged from the Nightmare Realm.
Among the various Mother Empresses of the Insectoids, Wan Hua was also the oldest and most powerful. She was the one who had personally refined the Nightmare Realm, the clan's heirloom.
"Mother Empress."
The strongest eleventh-tier Insectoid bowed to Wan Hua. Normally, the backup plan within the Nightmare Realm would only be triggered when she truly faced a life-threatening situation.
The fact that Wan Hua had appeared now meant that she had indeed been in mortal danger just now.
"Could Galaxy Starlord really have killed me despite the clan's heirloom?" The strongest eleventh-tier Insectoid asked, incredulous. Wan Hua's appearance could only mean that she had sensed this danger.
"Xuanyuan, you intervened as well?" Wan Hua smiled faintly, and her invisible soul energy affected all life forms. All the eleventh-tier powerhouses of the Human Civilization Alliance present began to fall under her enchanting spell involuntarily.
"Hmph."
Xuanyuan, the Supreme Expert, let out a cold snort, and his voice resonated in the minds of all the eleventh-tier powerhouses.
"Also, you say that I'm bullying Galaxy Starlord, and that's fine, but to call Galaxy Starlord a little kid? Are you underestimating him a bit too much?"
Wan Hua glanced at Galaxy Starlord and said meaningfully, "Galaxy Starlord's mental will is probably already at the Twelfth-Tier level, isn't it?"
"And he's still a little kid?"
Lin Yuan's face remained unchanged as he heard these words.
He had just broken free from Wan Hua's soul influence moments ago, relying on his formidable mental will.
Wan Hua had probably sensed something amiss as well.
"What? Galaxy Starlord's mental will is already at the Twelfth-Tier level?" The strongest eleventh-tier Insectoid looked at Lin Yuan in shock.
Compared to the improvement of the physical body and soul, enhancing one's mental will was the most challenging, especially after reaching the million-point mark. Each increment in mental willpower required a tremendous price.
But Galaxy Starlord?
"Twelfth-tier mental will?" The other strongest eleventh-tiers were equally astonished.
After the Insectoid's Mother Empress, Wan Hua, appeared, the duration of Lin Yuan's divine ability, 'World', came to an end. They could leave whenever they wanted now.
However, now that Mother Empress Wan Hua was present, these strongest eleventh-tiers didn't want to leave anymore.
They had originally intended to witness the confrontation between the Insectoid's Mother Empress and the pinnacle powerhouse of Human Civilization, but they never expected to hear such intelligence.
Galaxy Starlord possessed a twelfth-tier mental will?
"No wonder I felt as if I was facing an Ultimate when facing him," the strongest eleventh-tier member of the Jie Clan thought silently.
Even the Jie Clan, which had endured countless tribulations, had never managed to elevate their mental will to the twelfth tier at the eleventh-tier stage. It was just too difficult.
"Hahaha, so what if my Human Civilization's peerless genius has a twelfth-tier mental will?"
Xuanyuan You, the Supreme Expert, said nonchalantly. Having a twelfth-tier mental will meant that the pinnacle-level mental pollution had no effect on Lin Yuan anymore.
In other words, Lin Yuan had truly grown into a formidable force, and the twelfth-tier Ultimates could, at most, only kill Lin Yuan's clones without affecting his true self.
"If I'm not mistaken, Galaxy Starlord doesn't seem to possess any Ultimate foundation, does he?" Mother Empress Wan Hua continued, "The Yu Clan attempted to weaken Galaxy Starlord's life essence with the Balancing Scales, but it seemed to have no effect. His life essence is far denser than the eleventh-tier limit."
Mother Empress Wan Hua paused briefly before continuing, "With such dense life essence, if he truly unleashes the power of an Ultimate foundation, even the strongest eleventh-tiers of the various clans, wielding their clan's heirloom weapons, would not be able to withstand it."
The strongest eleventh-tiers present were utterly stunned.
Galaxy Starlord hadn't unleashed the power of an Ultimate foundation? Ten years ago, Galaxy Starlord annihilated tens of thousands of eleventh-tiers with just a wave of his hand, relying solely on his own power?
And just now, their group of over ten strongest eleventh-tiers could only barely hold on against Galaxy Starlord with the aid of their clan's heirloom weapons. Was that also due to Galaxy Starlord's own strength?
"Are you saying that Galaxy Starlord can kill me without relying on external power, even with my clan's heirloom weapon?"
The strongest eleventh-tier Insectoid was frightened. She instinctively wanted to refute this statement, but the one who had spoken was none other than the Insectoid's supreme ruler, Mother Empress Wan Hua.
This strongest eleventh-tier, no matter how bold she was, dared not question Mother Empress Wan Hua's words.
Lin Yuan stood in the air above the altar, silently listening to Mother Empress Wan Hua's words.
"Although twelfth-tier Ultimates cannot directly probe the secrets within my physical body and soul, they can still deduce a lot about me through indirect observation."
This was unavoidable. Unless Lin Yuan refrained from taking action, it was almost inevitable that some of his secrets would be uncovered by the pinnacle powerhouses of the various peak clans.
Once again, he reiterated, "I have already grown into a formidable force. Even if some of my secrets are exposed, it doesn't matter. What can the peak powerhouses of those peak clans do to me?"
"So what if my Human Civilization's peerless genius possesses such talent?" Xuanyuan You, the Supreme Expert, remained unperturbed, although he was secretly astonished as well.
He had only found out later that the Yu Clan had tried to weaken Lin Yuan's life essence with the Balancing Scales.
When he saw that Lin Yuan's strength was virtually unaffected, he had also guessed that Galaxy Starlord might have relied solely on himself.
Xuanyuan You's words left Mother Empress Wan Hua silent.
The other strongest eleventh-tiers were filled with mixed emotions.
Was this a matter of talent? What kind of monster was Galaxy Starlord?
With Galaxy Starlord around, they felt like mere wastes in comparison.
"Alright."
"Wan Hua, there's no need to say more."
"What now? Do we proceed with the final battle ahead of schedule or continue to let the youngsters fight it out?"
Xuanyuan You, the Supreme Expert, spoke up directly.
The so-called "final battle ahead of schedule" referred to the formal involvement of twelfth-tier treasures or means.
Of course, the treasures and means mentioned here did not refer to a battle between twelfth-tier Ultimates, but rather the escalation of the war with the addition of more ultimate-level treasures.
The permanent spatial fissures on those large battlefields were caused by attacks of power exceeding a million points, which was the result of the final battle.
However, the final battle usually occurred during the latter stages of a large-scale war. As for the current situation, the intensity of the large-scale war was typically low during the first ten to twenty years.
But due to the emergence of Galaxy Starlord, the development of the war had taken a bizarre turn. The various clans joined forces ahead of schedule, and because Galaxy Starlord possessed the ability to kill the strongest eleventh-tier Insectoid, it triggered the backup plan of Mother Empress Wan Hua within the Nightmare Realm.
"The final battle ahead of schedule?"
Mother Empress Wan Hua smiled faintly, "There's no need for that. The Insectoid clan has decided to withdraw from this war."
If they continued to fight, the twelfth-tier forces would undoubtedly intercept them.
As for those below the twelfth tier, it was evident from Galaxy Starlord's displayed strength that the strongest eleventh-tiers, even with their clan's heirloom weapons or Ultimate foundations, were no match for him.
Once the battle truly escalated, if Human Civilization allowed Galaxy Starlord to unleash the power of an Ultimate foundation, the strongest eleventh-tiers of the various peak clans would be crushed by Galaxy Starlord.
