Chapter 513: Who is Making Landfall?
Chapter 513: Who is Making Landfall? (End of Chapter)
"Alright, alright."
Xia Qin, the pinnacle being, wore a brilliant smile. Lin Yuan's reappearance before them indicated that he had successfully ascended to the twelfth tier.
But to hear it straight from Lin Yuan's mouth brought an unprecedented sense of relief to Xia Qin.
It had been over a million years, and finally, the tenth pinnacle being of human civilization was about to emerge?
No, that wasn't quite right.
Lin Yuan's existence went far beyond what could be described as a pinnacle being.
"Impressive, impressive," the Void God pinnacle being murmured. "Galaxy Master, you've only been an Evolver for a thousand years, and yet you've reached the ultimate stage. I wouldn't have dared to imagine such a thing in the past."
Setting aside Lin Yuan's formidable foundation, just the speed at which he ascended to the twelfth tier was enough to set countless precedents across the universe's epochs.
Moreover, the evolutionary path Lin Yuan had taken was one he had forged himself from scratch, making it infinitely more challenging than the stable paths to pinnacle beinghood taken by others.
"Not even eighth tier by the time I was a thousand years old," one of the human pinnacle beings sighed, sounding self-deprecating, but his expression was one of contentment.
After all, Lin Yuan was an Evolver of their human civilization.
"Just luck," Lin Yuan replied modestly.
"Strength is strength; there's no luck involved," Xuanyuan, the pinnacle being, said, shaking his head.
"Indeed. There's no need for you to be so humble, Galaxy Master. The fact is, we are far inferior to you," the Void God pinnacle being agreed, nodding.
"Galaxy Master, there is one thing I hope you will agree to," Gu Li, the pinnacle being, said, his gaze fixed on Lin Yuan as he spoke up.
"Please, go ahead," Lin Yuan replied, his expression turning slightly solemn.
"Galaxy Master, when you were at the eleventh tier, your strength was already at the twelfth-tier level. Now that you've reached the twelfth tier, what level of power have you attained?" Gu Li's eyes gleamed with a battle-hungry light.
Like Xia Qin, he had reached the pinnacle through the path of strength, and his battle prowess was nearly on par with Xia Qin's. Naturally, he was curious about Lin Yuan's true strength at this moment.
"Yes, what level of strength have you reached now, Galaxy Master?" the Void God pinnacle being asked, also eager to know.
Whether it was Gu Li or the Void God pinnacle being, their curiosity about Lin Yuan's current level had nothing to do with disagreement or resentment; they simply wanted to know what heights Lin Yuan had attained.
Since the birth of the universe, there had only been a few dozen twelfth-tier pinnacles, most of whom were unable to pose any threat to each other.
"Within this universe, it's roughly equivalent to the peak of the Path-Breaking Realm," Lin Yuan replied casually.
The Path-Breaking Realm's peak was due to the universe's suppression; if he were in the Chaotic Void, Lin Yuan could easily unleash the power of the Dominion Realm.
"Peak of the Path-Breaking Realm?"
"You've just reached the twelfth tier and you're already at the peak of the Path-Breaking Realm?"
Gu Li was astounded. Like the other twelfth-tier pinnacles, the nine pinnacle beings of human civilization also believed that Lin Yuan would swiftly attain the peak of the Path-Breaking Realm after reaching the twelfth tier.
But to have reached it immediately upon ascending?
Wasn't it supposed that newly ascended twelfth-tier pinnacles were at their weakest?
"We can spar if you'd like," Lin Yuan offered with a smile, not minding indulging the curiosity of the pinnacle beings of human civilization.
"Alright."
"Then I'll go first."
Gu Li was thrilled and said so directly.
Within the universe, there were only two twelfth-tier pinnacles at the peak of the Path-Breaking Realm, and they belonged to the Calamity Race.
However, these two beings had many restrictions on their actions. When they did act, it was always with the full force of their power, as they had to contend with the suppression of the universe's consciousness.
A Path-Breaking Realm pinnacle being at full power was not something Gu Li, in his right mind, would dare to provoke.
But Lin Yuan was also a pinnacle being of human civilization, and Gu Li felt that Lin Yuan wouldn't hold back too much against him.
"You first, or me?"
Lin Yuan asked with a nod.
"You go first," Gu Li said solemnly.
When facing a Path-Breaking Realm pinnacle, one would naturally focus on defense to truly experience the power of that realm.
"I'll only use my physical strength,"
Lin Yuan raised his right hand and casually pressed it towards Gu Li.
Rumble, rumble!
The terrifying power of Lin Yuan's physical body began to affect spacetime itself, causing Gu Li's scalp to tingle. He did his best to resist, trying to stop Lin Yuan's slowly descending right hand, but to no avail.
Gu Li then tried to escape, only to find that spacetime had already formed a cage around him. Lin Yuan's powerful physical body casually emanated its essence, which was enough to manipulate spacetime and form a domain unique to him.
Swish, swish!
As Lin Yuan's palm slowly pressed down, Gu Li felt as if the universe itself was collapsing and that his entire field of vision was filled with that descending palm.
"Stop, stop, stop!"
Gu Li immediately cried out.
He still had many trump cards he hadn't used, but if he were to use them, it wouldn't be a spar anymore, so Gu Li conceded.
"Galaxy Master, please stop now,"
The Void God pinnacle being quickly regained his composure and spoke up.
He had originally planned to wait for Gu Li to finish his spar before stepping forward to exchange a few moves with Lin Yuan himself.
But now, it seemed there was no need for him to subject himself to such humiliation.
"Peak of the Path-Breaking Realm... It's so terrifying?" Gu Li couldn't help but marvel as Lin Yuan retracted his hand.
Under that palm strike, Gu Li felt that even if he used his most powerful trump cards, he would still be injured. And that was just from a casual palm strike from Lin Yuan.
The true terror wasn't in the Peak of the Path-Breaking Realm, but in the Galaxy Master himself.
"Since the Galaxy Master has successfully entered the twelfth tier, we shall take our leave." Xuanyuan spoke up.
The nine pinnacle beings had originally intended to stay a while longer, as newly ascended twelfth-tier beings were often at their weakest.
If any other twelfth-tier beings took advantage of this moment to strike, it could spell trouble.
Hence, the presence of the nine pinnacle beings was meant to protect against any such attempts.
However, after witnessing Lin Yuan's display of power earlier, any thoughts of protection were immediately extinguished from the minds of Xuanyuan and the other pinnacle beings.
Protection?
Who was protecting whom?
Would they be protecting the Galaxy Master, or would he be the one protecting them?
"I'll pay you a visit soon." Lin Yuan nodded.
Now that he had transcended to the twelfth tier, he too had many matters to attend to.
"Mhm."
Xuanyuan looked at Lin Yuan, as if remembering something, and said, "Galaxy Master, now that you've entered the twelfth tier, you must quickly make landfall in the Time Riverine Space."
Once an eleventh-tier being successfully breaks through to the ultimate stage, their life essence transforms, allowing them to completely shake off the suppression of the Time River and directly enter the space where the Time River is located.
The next thing that every newly ascended twelfth-tier being must do is make landfall.
"Understood."
Lin Yuan replied.
Making landfall was also the first thing he intended to do, though the influence of the Time River was minimal on a newly transformed twelfth-tier being.
Nevertheless, the sooner he made landfall, the better.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
One after another, Xuanyuan and the eight other pinnacle beings departed.
In an instant, only Lin Yuan remained, standing tall under the starry sky.
"Hmm?"
Lin Yuan sensed countless gazes, as numerous twelfth-tier beings spied on him cautiously.
"The Calamity Race?"
Lin Yuan's eyes shifted towards the Calamity Race's domain. With his newfound elevation in life tier, he could now perceive more, and the vast amount of information emanating from an ordinary-looking wooden house there left him astonished.
"The origins of the Calamity Race are definitely not simple. Is that wooden house a treasure from the Chaos Realm?" Lin Yuan speculated in his mind.
"Congratulations, Galaxy Master, on your ascension to the twelfth tier." At that moment, a voice belonging to one of the Calamity Race's twelfth-tier beings rang out, carrying a blessing from across half the universe.
"Congratulations, Galaxy Master, on your entry into the twelfth tier." Another voice from a different Calamity Race twelfth-tier being joined in.
"Is that... reverence in their tone?" Lin Yuan detected a hint of reverence in the way the two Calamity Race twelfth-tier beings addressed him, which he found rather unbelievable.
After all, these two beings were also at the Peak of the Path-Breaking Realm, and even if they couldn't attack normally, they shouldn't be overly fearful of him.
Not to mention the wooden house, which was a treasure from the Chaos Realm?
"Galaxy Master, if you have the time, please feel free to visit us. We will answer any questions you may have," the Calamity Race's twelfth-tier being standing outside the wooden house promptly said.
"Sure."
Lin Yuan nodded, unconcerned about any potential traps.
Now that he had reached the twelfth tier, he had no equals in this universe, and even if he were to visit the Calamity Race's domain, he wouldn't go in person, merely sending an incarnation would suffice.
"It's time to make landfall."
With a slight stir of his consciousness, Lin Yuan entered the Time Riverine Space.
On the banks of the Time River.
Countless twelfth-tier beings stood, their attention fixed on the Time River.
Now that the Galaxy Master had successfully entered the twelfth tier, the next step would undoubtedly be to make landfall?
Unlike the pinnacle beings of human civilization, the twelfth-tier beings of other races couldn't directly assess Lin Yuan's strength, so they could only judge based on his landfall.
Within the Time River, all life forms manifested in their most essential forms, whether they were beneath or above the river.
The purer the life essence, the larger the form in the Time River.
"That's—"
Suddenly, one of the twelfth-tier beings from the Prison Race stared at the center of the Time River, his eyes filled with shock.
There stood a towering giant, slowly straightening his back. This giant was too massive, too tall. Even after standing up, his legs remained submerged in the Time River.
However, the river's waters only reached up to his thighs, and the width of his legs was enough to fill the entire riverbed.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
As the giant took a step forward, the riverbank trembled under his weight.
The giant's stature was so immense that the twelfth-tier beings on the shore only came up to his knees.
During landfall, a larger physical form indicated greater mass, and the entire riverbank shook as the giant took each step, the vibrations spreading along the Time River and reaching its tributaries in distant universes.
In an instant.
The tremors from the giant's movements in the Time River reverberated through its tributaries, which flowed through other universes.
Twelfth-tier beings in those universes felt the vibrations as well, and their minds were flooded with a tumultuous wave of thoughts:
"Who's making landfall?"
