Chapter 505: Dragged into the River of Time
Chapter 505: Dragged into the River of Time (End of Chapter)
"I felt that the Galaxy Master was hiding his strength back then." Finally, a member of the Jie Clan outside the wooden house spoke up.
That was why they had decided to withdraw from the pursuit and secretly send a message to the Galaxy Master.
"Yes, yes, your instincts have always been sharp throughout the countless universe eras." The Jie Clan elder inside the house immediately agreed.
If their attempts to stop the Galaxy Master proved futile, any Twelfth Realm beings who participated in the pursuit would undoubtedly face retribution once the Galaxy Master reached the Twelfth Realm.
While the Jie Clan was not afraid of retribution from a typical Peak Dao-Breaking Realm expert, it would still be troublesome. At the very least, they would have to keep a low profile for the foreseeable future.
Across the universe, many Eleventh Realm beings also sensed the anomaly.
"Is that the battle fluctuation of Twelfth Realm beings?"
"Which Twelfth Realm entities are fighting?"
"It's been so long since the Twelfth Realm Ultimates last made a move, I wonder who they are?"
One by one, the Eleventh Realm beings were astonished. Although they couldn't witness the actual battle, the aftershocks of the clash and the resulting spatial fluctuations were enough to determine that both combatants had reached the Twelfth Realm.
While the majority of Eleventh Realm beings were shocked, those from powerful clans with Ultimate beings were not afraid.
However, the Eleventh Realm beings from formidable clans all felt their hearts tremble with unease.
A battle between Twelfth Realm entities could easily destroy a large star field secret realm with just a slight ripple of its aftermath.
If they were unlucky, their clans might even face annihilation.
Since the birth of the universe, how many clans had perished due to battles between Twelfth Realm beings? Countless treasures and legacies had descended from beyond the universe, causing the Twelfth Realm Ultimates to clash and resulting in a life-extinction event on a universal scale.
It was only after that catastrophe that human civilization had risen.
And now, the sudden battle between Twelfth Realm entities filled many Eleventh Realm beings with terror.
In front of the spacetime black hole, the Divine Feather Clan's progenitor wore an ugly expression.
The fact that a single punch from him had been repelled by the Galaxy Master not only shocked the other Twelfth Realm Ultimates but also forced them to reevaluate the Galaxy Master's strength.
However, for the Divine Feather Clan's progenitor, it was a matter of extreme embarrassment.
Indeed, the Galaxy Master possessed offensive capabilities on par with the Twelfth Realm.
But ultimately, he was still an Eleventh Realm being.
And here he was, a proud Twelfth Realm Ultimate, being pushed back by the Galaxy Master?
After today, he, the progenitor of the Divine Feather Clan, would be ridiculed and shamed. In any conversation mentioning the Galaxy Master, his name would be brought up as a foil.
"Very well!"
"Galaxy Master, you have truly enraged me."
The aura of the Divine Feather Ultimate surged as he began to constrict his spiritual will.
While Lin Yuan's spiritual will attack was bizarre, if one were prepared for it, its threat level would decrease significantly.
At the very least, one's spiritual will wouldn't be completely restrained.
Through the brief exchange earlier, the Divine Feather Clan's progenitor had confirmed one thing.
While the Galaxy Master's offensive capabilities had indeed reached the Twelfth Realm, they were only at the threshold.
Having entered the Twelfth Realm countless billions of years ago, the Divine Feather Clan's progenitor had long since stabilized at this level. If he went all out, the Galaxy Master would likely find it difficult to withstand his might.
Although their plot against the Galaxy Master had failed miserably, the Divine Feather Clan's progenitor wanted to, at the very least, salvage his dignity.
Killing this incarnation of the Galaxy Master would slightly redeem his shame.
As for whether it would offend the Galaxy Master?
They had already offended him by ganging up on him. No matter what they did now, the Galaxy Master would seek retribution in the future.
Thus, the Divine Feather Ultimate no longer held anything back.
"Tian Yuchen is truly furious."
"I would be too if I were in his position."
The surrounding Twelfth Realm Ultimates were unsurprised by this turn of events.
Anyone in the Divine Feather progenitor's position would feel the same rage.
"This time, he's truly lost all face."
"Regardless, this incarnation of the Galaxy Master must die."
"Let Tian Yuchen make his move. The nine peak experts of human civilization are almost here. We'll hold them off."
The Twelfth Realm Ultimates communicated with each other, and their goal had shifted from completely annihilating the Galaxy Master to, at the very least, hindering his advancement toward the Ultimate Realm, or, if possible, destroying this clone of his.
Rumble!
The next moment, the nine peak experts of human civilization arrived.
"Xuanyuan, your human civilization is truly lucky to have given birth to a freak like the Galaxy Master."
"We've decided to kill this clone of the Galaxy Master. You should leave now."
"Indeed, it's just a clone."
The Twelfth Realm beings from various foreign clans blocked the nine peak experts of human civilization, resulting in a standoff.
"Hmph."
Xuanyuan, the human civilization's peak expert, didn't bother with words and immediately took action.
In an instant, dozens of Twelfth Realm powerhouses clashed, shattering the region surrounding the spacetime black hole for tens of thousands to millions of light-years.
"Galaxy Master, die!"
The Divine Feather Clan's progenitor, Tian Yuchen, had his aura boiling. No longer underestimating Lin Yuan, he unleashed his attack, utilizing his vast life essence and absolute power advantage to crush his opponent.
Lin Yuan easily dodged and threw another punch, only to find that Tian Yuchen showed no signs of retreating. Even with the use of the secret art, Abyssal Eye, he could only pull on a portion of Tian Yuchen's spiritual will.
This allowed the Divine Feather Ultimate to only exhibit a fraction of his true strength.
If Lin Yuan had been a Twelfth Realm being, Tian Yuchen might not have dared to resist and would have turned to flee. But Lin Yuan was not a Twelfth Realm entity.
However, the gap in their life essences made Lin Yuan's path a difficult one.
Of course, Lin Yuan's challenge was that his attacks couldn't affect Tian Yuchen.
As for whether Tian Yuchen could strike him? The answer was naturally no.
Lin Yuan's Seventh Layer of Time-Space Sense placed him at an innate advantage, even as just a spiritual will incarnation.
This was also why Lin Yuan, despite being aware of the twelfth-tier Ultimates' schemes against him, still sent out numerous incarnations to roam the universe.
"I can't even touch the Galaxy Master."
On the other side, Tian Yuchen came to a conclusion after several attempts to engage Lin Yuan.
His attacks couldn't land on the Galaxy Master at all.
Although the Galaxy Master's attacks couldn't break through his defenses either, this stalemate was not a desirable situation.
As a twelfth-tier powerhouse, he was fighting an eleventh-tier life, or rather, a clone of an eleventh-tier life. And yet, after such a long time, he still couldn't defeat his opponent? Tian Yuchen felt his reputation hanging by a thread.
"Forget this."
Tian Yuchen took a deep breath. If he continued this stalemate, he would only lose more face.
"Let's go."
Tian Yuchen decided to turn and leave.
He didn't bother with the twelve-tier Ultimates who were currently locked in battle with the nine peak experts of human civilization.
"You want to leave?"
Lin Yuan sensed Tian Yuchen's intention.
The next moment, a figure appeared from another direction.
It was Lin Yuan's Taiyin spiritual will.
The Taiyin spiritual will took a step forward and stood beside the Yang spiritual will.
Then, the two spiritual wills merged into one.
Yang and Taiyin, originally part of Lin Yuan's Taiji spiritual will.
Due to the peculiarities of the martial arts evolution system, they had split into two separate spiritual wills.
As separate entities, their strength was diminished, but they could handle different tasks simultaneously.
With the fusion of the Taiyin and Yang spiritual wills, they became the Taiji spiritual will once more.
Lin Yuan's aura quietly surged.
His inner world rapidly expanded, reaching a size of five light-years in radius.
In theory, the combat power of the Taiji spiritual will was on par with that of Lin Yuan's true body.
However, Lin Yuan's true body had absorbed too many benefits, especially the two consecrations from the Chaos Void Origin.
This resulted in his inner world reaching a staggering eleven light-years in radius.
"Sever!"
The Taiyin spiritual will that had arrived not only merged with the Yang spiritual will to become the Taiji spiritual will, enhancing its fundamental strength, but it also brought with it several twelfth-tier weapons.
The combination of these factors caused the combat power of the Taiji spiritual will to soar to unprecedented levels.
Buzz!
A silver-white battle blade tore through time and space, slicing into Tian Yuchen's body.
"What?!"
Tian Yuchen's expression changed drastically. This strike penetrated his defensive battle armor, leaving a faint crack in his physical body, soul, and inner world.
Although this faint crack healed instantly, Lin Yuan's second strike was already upon him.
In the span of a single breath, hundreds of strikes landed on Tian Yuchen.
The faint crack was constantly torn open and then healed.
"This isn't good."
Tian Yuchen felt a sense of foreboding.
While the hundreds of strikes didn't affect him much, what about thousands or tens of thousands? If he were fighting another twelfth-tier being, Tian Yuchen wouldn't be concerned, as the worst that could happen would be an exchange of injuries.
But this was Lin Yuan.
He, Tian Yuchen, couldn't even touch Lin Yuan.
In other words, he was currently just taking a beating.
An exchange of injuries?
That was out of the question.
Tian Yuchen exhaled slowly and gave Lin Yuan a deep, final glance before his figure gradually became illusory and then disappeared.
On the shore of the vast river of time.
Tian Yuchen's majestic figure appeared.
The greatest characteristic of a twelfth-tier life, compared to an eleventh-tier one, was its freedom from the constraints of the river of time, allowing it to reside permanently on the shore.
Therefore, the simplest way to defend against the Galaxy Master's attacks was to enter the river of time and stand on its shore.
No matter how powerful the Galaxy Master's offensive abilities were, as long as he didn't transcend the twelfth-tier, he couldn't threaten those on the shore, much like how a being within a painting couldn't touch anything outside of it.
"Galaxy Master!"
Tian Yuchen spoke with emphasis on each word, feeling the utmost humiliation.
To be forced into the river of time by a mere eleventh-tier life was an unprecedented disgrace.
"A full-scale war, we must engage in a full-scale war and do everything to prevent the Galaxy Master from smoothly reaching the Ultimate Realm."
Tian Yuchen gazed down at the tranquil river of time, his mind made up.
While it was impossible to stop the Galaxy Master from reaching the Ultimate Realm, they could influence his journey by waging a full-scale war against human civilization.
Since the enmity between them couldn't be resolved, Tian Yuchen no longer cared about the consequences of a full-scale war.
With this thought in mind, Tian Yuchen was about to use the river of time as a 'transit' to return to the Divine Feather Clan's territory and discuss their next move with the other twelfth-tier Ultimates of his clan.
Additionally, he planned to contact other peak clan forces to jointly besiege human civilization.
Suddenly.
Just at that moment.
The previously calm river of time began to stir, creating ripples on its surface.
Immediately after.
A slender and powerful right hand silently emerged from the river of time.
It grabbed Tian Yuchen's ankle.
Then.
As Tian Yuchen looked on in terror.
He was pulled down.
