Chapter 511: Behind Lin Yuan
Chapter 511: Behind Lin Yuan (End of Chapter)
Lin Yuan had an incarnation constantly residing in the ancient and chaotic continent of Guming, where there was a gathering of twelfth-tier powerhouses. They had a precise division of peak strength at the Dao-Breaking Realm.
The inner world of those at the peak of the Dao-Breaking Realm spanned a distance of one million five hundred thousand light-years to two million light-years.
Currently, Lin Yuan's inner world was only five hundred thousand light-years, but his understanding of the rules, especially the chaotic rules, far surpassed those at the peak of the Dao-Breaking Realm. This was a level of comprehension that even those at the peak of the Dominion Realm desperately craved.
All things considered, Lin Yuan's current battle prowess had slightly surpassed those at the peak of the Dao-Breaking Realm.
"The final leap is next," Lin Yuan said, his expression turning slightly solemn.
The assault on the ultimate stage was divided into two phases.
The first was enduring the infusion of the Chaos Void origin. This was a blessing, a gift from the Chaos Void itself.
The second was the ultimate leap, during which one had to face the backlash of the River of Time and the universe itself. This was the true challenge.
Countless perfect eleventh-tier cultivators feared this final leap in their journey to the ultimate stage.
"The Ultimate Leap!"
Without hesitation, Lin Yuan began. Within ten breaths after the infusion of the Chaos Void origin ended, he had to make the ultimate leap.
Buzz!
The next moment, Lin Yuan's aura suddenly vanished.
He disappeared completely from this universe, leaving no trace of his existence anywhere.
Even his karma seemed to have faded away with him.
"Galaxy Master has begun his ultimate leap."
In the instant Lin Yuan's aura disappeared, the nine strongest beings of human civilization immediately realized what was happening.
The ultimate leap involved pulling one's entire being out of the River of Time, seeking a transformative shift in the essence of life. During this process, any aura or karma would be pulled out of the River of Time.
"Lin Yuan, you must succeed," Xia Qin, one of the strongest beings, thought to himself. He had watched Lin Yuan grow from the eighth tier to where he was now, and he felt a deep connection. Regardless of any other factors, including the impact on human civilization, Xia Qin sincerely hoped that Lin Yuan would succeed in his ultimate leap.
"Galaxy Master will definitely enter the twelfth tier," Xuanyuan, another powerful being, said solemnly to the other eight powerhouses. "With Galaxy Master's foundation, if he can't enter the twelfth tier, I can't think of anyone else who could. How did we even enter the twelfth tier then?"
"Indeed," the others agreed.
"Galaxy Master will surely enter the twelfth tier," they asserted confidently, expressing their unwavering faith in Lin Yuan.
"My dear disciple," Chi Kun, the master of Chi Kun Star, felt the ripples in space-time and deduced that Lin Yuan was making his ultimate leap.
"Nothing must go wrong," Chi Kun anxiously thought. Although he was only a ninth-tier cultivator, he knew that there was no guarantee of success when attempting the ultimate leap.
Even the most powerful eleventh-tier cultivators could fail.
Chi Kun held Lin Yuan, his little disciple, in high regard. Unlike Xia Qin, Chi Kun had watched over Lin Yuan since he was at the fifth tier, witnessing his growth every step of the way.
Although the time since he had taken Lin Yuan as his disciple was not long, Chi Kun treated Lin Yuan no differently than family.
In human civilization, a disciple was family, and a master was also family—their bond often even surpassing that of blood relatives.
"Galaxy Master, you absolutely must not succeed in your ultimate leap. If you do, what will become of us?" The twelfth-tier powerhouses from the various peak races had differing thoughts, but they all shared one common desire—they did not want Galaxy Master to smoothly enter the ultimate stage.
"Galaxy Master, you must die. Perish under the backlash of the River of Time," Tian Yuchen said, his eyes dark and vengeful. He had spent a significant amount of time in the River of Time due to Lin Yuan, and two pairs of his wings had been shattered. His hope of surviving the cosmic great destruction had diminished greatly.
At this moment, he desperately wanted Lin Yuan to fail in his ultimate leap.
If Lin Yuan successfully entered the twelfth tier, Tian Yuchen would forever lose any chance of taking revenge.
How could he take revenge? Even when Lin Yuan was not yet a twelfth-tier cultivator, Tian Yuchen couldn't do anything to him. How much more impossible would it be now if Lin Yuan became a twelfth-tier powerhouse?
If he didn't hide from Galaxy Master then, he feared he would become the first twelfth-tier powerhouse to fall in this universe.
In a daze, Lin Yuan looked around.
"Is this above the River of Time?" Lin Yuan surveyed his surroundings. Below him was a majestic river, and on its banks stood towering silhouettes.
"Is that me down there?" Lin Yuan looked downward. Directly below him, in the River of Time, was a massive being curled up—it was his own reflection in the River of Time.
During the ultimate leap, the core of his life essence imprint and his spiritual will would be pulled out of the River of Time, facing the backlash of both the River of Time and the universe.
"The twelfth-tier powerhouses can't detect me," Lin Yuan mused, his expression thoughtful.
At this moment, although he was above the River of Time, he was also on another plane of existence. This was why eleventh-tier beings could not be stopped during their ultimate leap.
"Here comes the backlash," Lin Yuan thought, and instantly, wave after wave of backlash rushed towards him.
This backlash came from the River of Time, not just from this branch but from endless sources. It all bore down on Lin Yuan.
"Hmm?" Lin Yuan was surprised, but not because he couldn't withstand the backlash.
Rather, the backlash was too weak. It couldn't affect Lin Yuan at all, not even slightly.
The backlash from the River of Time was immense, like a mighty river flowing into the ocean, but Lin Yuan was like an unyielding, immovable divine stone.
No matter how the backlash washed over him, Lin Yuan remained calm and unaffected.
"Of course. My foundation is countless times stronger than those perfect eleventh-tier cultivators. If they even have a chance at a successful ultimate leap, then how could I be influenced by this backlash?
However, in addition to facing direct backlash, the Ultimate Leap also brought indirect backlash, similar to the Heart Demon Tribulation faced when advancing from the seventh tier to the eighth tier.
One of the requirements for a perfect eleventh-tier cultivator to assault the ultimate stage was to have a mental will index of over ten million points.
The reason for this requirement was that only with a mental will index exceeding ten million points would one have a chance of enduring the Heart Demon Tribulation during the Ultimate Leap.
Whoosh!
A mysterious power descended, originating from the distant main vein of the River of Time, which ran through the chaos of the void.
"Where am I?" Lin Yuan asked himself as he felt an unprecedented chill. Despite his level, he should not have been able to feel hot or cold, yet he was profoundly shaken, his bones trembling.
"Is this the world of Heart Demons during the Ultimate Leap?" Lin Yuan surveyed his surroundings, which consisted of an icy world of snow and ice.
"I can't sense any rules, not even the chaos rules, and my innate divine abilities are gone too?" Lin Yuan wondered silently.
If it weren't for his remaining memories, he would have thought himself an ordinary person, and all his experiences in the main universe would have seemed like a dream.
"I just need to endure."
"I'll keep going."
Lin Yuan had collected a lot of information about the Ultimate Leap and knew that once one was trapped in the world of Heart Demons, the only way was to endure.
How long would he have to endure? There was no clear answer.
Time in the world of Heart Demons did not flow at the same rate as the outside world.
Perhaps eons could pass in the Heart Demon World, while only a moment would have passed in the outside universe.
"I'll keep going in this direction."
Lin Yuan chose a random direction and started walking.
In the world of Heart Demons, he was like an ordinary mortal, devoid of any divine powers.
Time passed, and he didn't know how long he had been walking.
Then, a faint voice echoed through time and space, reaching Lin Yuan's ears.
"Martial Ancestor."
"Martial Ancestor?"
"Martial Ancestor!"
"Martial Ancestor!!"
"Yes, I am the Martial Ancestor, the founder of martial arts in all realms."
Lin Yuan paused and listened intently, "These voices must be coming from the lifeforms that practice the evolution path of martial arts."
"So this is the significance of spreading the evolution path of martial arts."
Lin Yuan's expression turned thoughtful.
By having all martial arts cultivators as 'anchors', he could prevent himself from falling into despair and losing his sense of self.
The more martial arts cultivators there were, the heavier the 'anchors' would be, and the better he could maintain his self-awareness.
"Keep going."
Lin Yuan had lost track of how long he had been walking, but he knew he had to continue, even if it took him eons, until he reached the end of the Heart Demon World.
Soon.
Lin Yuan crossed the icy world and arrived at an endless barren plain.
He kept walking without stopping.
The greatest danger of the Heart Demon World during the Ultimate Leap was the risk of losing oneself, as one had to spend a considerable amount of time here without any powers or divine abilities, and it was easy for eleventh-tier beings to doubt themselves and stop.
And once they stopped, it meant failure.
"Ice and snow, barren plains, volcanoes... Bring on the tribulations!" Lin Yuan heard the constant calls of countless martial arts cultivators in his ears, and with his four million mental willpower points, he had no tendency to fall into despair.
Lin Yuan calmly faced the tribulations in the Heart Demon World, causing not even a ripple.
"How long have I been in this Heart Demon World? It must be more than just one cosmic era, right?"
Lin Yuan's thoughts were incredibly slow, and here, he was as ordinary as could be, his thought processes included. He couldn't determine the flow of time.
Time passed.
Ten cosmic eras? A hundred? A thousand? Lin Yuan had no idea how long it had been, until he arrived at a scorching desert once more.
He had lost count of how many deserts he had crossed, and they all looked the same, with sand and dust filling the sky and stretching endlessly.
"Hmm?"
Lin Yuan's expression changed as he spotted a faint light gate standing at the end of the desert.
"Is that the end? The end of the Heart Demon World?"
Lin Yuan was certain, and he strode towards the light gate with confidence.
The flying sand and dust tried to stop him, but to no avail.
Until Lin Yuan was ten meters away from the light gate.
Standing there, he could faintly sense the fluctuations of rules.
"It's over."
Lin Yuan's mind was calmer than it had ever been, and he turned his head slightly to look back.
The desert, with its sand and dust, seemed to ripple, and a river appeared, with water flowing from the distant past into the future—the River of Time.
And at that moment.
Behind Lin Yuan, figures appeared one by one, approaching from the distance.
There was a young Buddhist monk with cloth shoes and a monk's robe, who entered the world but remained detached from it.
There was a young Celestial Master in a Daoist robe, who had descended the mountain to expel demons for sixty years.
There was an emperor who boiled rivers and refined mountains, his celestial might filling the heavens.
There was a Demon Sovereign who manifested his Yang God and Yin God, returning to the Five Realms.
There was a thin man hidden in the clouds, observing the Central Realm.
There was a majestic Demon Tree, towering over the heavens and the earth.
There was the Martial Ancestor, ascending to the heavens.
There was a figure stepping into the Ocean of Light, with stars falling like rain.
There was a silhouette in the void, attaining enlightenment, his thoughts reaching everywhere.
There was a majestic man traveling through billions of worlds, understanding that all Dao rules originated from chaos.
Figure after figure appeared, approaching from the distance and stopping behind Lin Yuan.
"So this is the twelfth tier?"
A smile appeared on Lin Yuan's face, and he turned and strode into the light gate.
