Chapter 536: Infinity Void
Chapter 536: Infinity Void
In the chaotic void, chaos energy drifted aimlessly.
A vast continent of chaos sped through the vastness, traversing vast distances as it made its way towards a predetermined destination.
On the Chaos Continent, Lin Yuan's eyes remained calm as he clearly sensed the rapidly increasing distance between himself and his true body.
If it weren't for his breakthrough to the twelfth tier and the surge in his mental will, he wouldn't have been able to maintain this avatar at this moment.
"My comprehension of spacetime has reached the peak of the seventh level. The limit of the range of my avatar is now thousands of times greater than before I reached the twelfth tier, which is more than enough."
Lin Yuan thought to himself.
To avoid the impending aftermath of the battle between the two Chaos Saints, the Ancient Clarity Chaos Continent began its migration soon after the Thousand Treasures Convention ended.
Lin Yuan's avatar remained on the Ancient Clarity Chaos Continent, serving as an 'anchor'.
According to Lin Yuan's expectations, the new homeland for human civilization after the Great Universe Destruction would likely be near the Ancient Clarity Chaos Continent.
Firstly, being close to a Chaos Continent meant that safety was guaranteed.
Secondly, the Ancient Sage was known for his benevolence and stable temperament; otherwise, he wouldn't have announced that the original region would become a battleground for the two Saints.
After the Great Universe Destruction, stability was of utmost importance for the new homeland of human civilization.
The beings of the universe, having just entered the Chaotic Void, needed a peaceful environment to adapt.
"Let's take a look."
Lin Yuan walked out of the inn and into the trading area of Mingchuan City.
"Brother Galaxy, come and take a look at our shop. We just got a new batch of goods that are perfect for enjoyment."
"What's the point of enjoyment, Brother Galaxy? You'd be better off buying a decent weapon with that money. Our shop has the best selection of weapons."
As Lin Yuan walked, several twelfth-tier Path-Opening life forms greeted him proactively.
Although it was just an avatar, the aura Lin Yuan exuded was that of a Path-Opening pinnacle, which was enough to intimidate most Path-Opening life forms.
In the Chaotic Void, life forms at the twelfth-tier Path-Opening were qualified to roam freely, but those who reached the pinnacle of Path-Opening were few, and those at the Mastery tier were even rarer.
As for Chaos Saints? They were colossally powerful beings who ruled over entire regions and were far beyond the reach of ordinary Path-Opening life forms.
Many Path-Opening life forms naturally sought friendship with Lin Yuan's avatar, which possessed the strength of a Path-Opening pinnacle. After all, having more friends meant having more options.
Lin Yuan smiled and greeted them along the way, soon arriving at a grand palace.
"You've arrived, Galaxy." A middle-aged man with thick wings stepped forward to welcome him.
"Brother Wanqu," Lin Yuan walked over and asked, "Any news on the fragment worlds I requested? Do you have anything suitable?"
Fragment worlds referred to the 'fragment meteors' that orbited the Ancient Clarity Chaos Continent. With a little modification, they could become comfortable dwellings, hence the name 'fragment worlds'.
"Hahaha, it's not easy to find a fragment world that meets your requirements, Brother Galaxy. It needs to be large enough and free from any radiation." Wanqu, the middle-aged man with thick wings, shook his head.
These 'fragment meteors' were formed by the attraction of various materials from the Chaotic Void to the Chaos Continent.
The sources of these materials were complex, and many of them emitted radiation.
While twelfth-tier Path-Opening life forms could easily ignore such radiation, it was a different story for weaker life forms.
For life forms at the eighth or ninth tier, or even the first or second tier, living under the influence of such radiation for extended periods wasn't ideal.
"That's why I've come to Brother Wanqu," Lin Yuan said with a smile.
Wanqu the Master was one of the disciples of the Ancient Sage, specifically in charge of the fragment meteors surrounding the Ancient Clarity Chaos Continent.
"Since you've put it that way, Brother Galaxy, I'll make sure to take care of it properly." Wanqu the Master looked at Lin Yuan and shook his head helplessly.
In fact, other Path-Opening life forms saw Lin Yuan as a Path-Opening pinnacle, but a powerful being like Wanqu the Master had already determined that Lin Yuan was a Mastery-tier life form.
After all, he could tell that the Lin Yuan before him was not the true body but merely an avatar.
For an avatar to possess the aura and strength of a Path-Opening pinnacle, there was no doubt that the true body had reached the Mastery tier.
It was because of this that Wanqu the Master addressed Lin Yuan as a brother, for as a disciple of the Ancient Sage, he wouldn't have paid attention to a mere Path-Opening pinnacle.
"Actually, there are a few fragment worlds that meet your requirements, Brother Galaxy."
Wanqu the Master raised his hand, and miniature 'fragment meteors' appeared before Lin Yuan. These were miniaturized versions of the fragment meteors orbiting the Ancient Clarity Chaos Continent.
"These?"
"I'm interested," Lin Yuan said, his eyes gleaming with curiosity. "How many Chaos Stones are we talking about?"
"For this fragment world, it's 180,000 Chaos Stones. The other one is 170,000," Wanqu immediately replied, eager to make a deal.
"That's too expensive," Lin Yuan shook his head, his expression unwavering.
Lin Yuan had already discussed finding a new home for human civilization with the nine strongest beings. The budget for this endeavor, to be funded by the treasury of human civilization, was set between 120,000 and 150,000 Chaos Stones.
"Too expensive?" Wanqu raised an eyebrow, clearly intrigued.
"Yes, it is a bit steep. But these fragment worlds are free from any radiation and are ideal for nurturing new life and civilizations," Wanqu explained, justifying the price.
"If it's too pricey, I can look for other options," Wanqu offered, his tone friendly and accommodating.
Even though the transaction didn't go through, Wanqu still valued the potential partnership and didn't take offense at Lin Yuan's hesitation.
"I appreciate your help, Brother Wanqu," Lin Yuan said, acknowledging his efforts.
The search for a new home for human civilization wasn't urgent. There was still a significant amount of time before the Main Universe completely succumbed to the Great Destruction. Lin Yuan could afford to wait for a more suitable 'fragment world' to present itself.
After all, a transaction involving hundreds of thousands of Chaos Stones was no small matter. It would require emptying the coffers of human civilization, so it was only natural to proceed with caution.
Main Universe:
Lin Yuan sat cross-legged, his surroundings warping as space-time collapsed. The myriad rules seemed to bow before him, causing the area around him to transform into a 'black hole' devoid of any functioning rules.
"Three hundred years of cultivation," Lin Yuan murmured as he opened his eyes, his gaze sharp and focused. Those three centuries had allowed him to reach the pinnacle of the seventh level in the domain of space-time fusion rules.
He was now just a hair's breadth away from the eighth level of space-time.
Additionally, his mental will had also improved significantly.
Of course, the most notable enhancement was within his internal universe.
Two hundred and ninety years ago, Lin Yuan had successfully refined the Jade Gourd and obtained the inheritance contained within—
'Infinite Void'.
This inheritance was created by a thirteenth-tier temporal life form specifically for strengthening one's internal universe foundation. It consisted of seven layers.
In theory, upon reaching the seventh layer, one's internal universe would evolve into a behemoth comparable to the Chaos Void, capable of sweeping away all obstacles.
However, the seventh layer of 'Infinite Void' was merely a theoretical realm. Even the founder of the Jade Gourd, the thirteenth-tier temporal life form, had not attained it and could only speculate about its existence.
Nonetheless, this inheritance was extraordinarily powerful. Just by mastering the first layer, one's internal universe would reach the level of a Chaos Honored One.
"First layer, complete," Lin Yuan whispered, sensing the ominous fluctuations within his internal universe.
After nearly three centuries of diligent cultivation, Lin Yuan had finally achieved the first layer of 'Infinite Void'.
"Now, your internal universe is indistinguishable from that of a Chaos existence," the red-clad girl said as she appeared within his internal universe, her eyes taking in the vast expanse that spanned nearly 200 million light-years.
'Infinite Universe' was an extremely demanding technique, requiring a high level of cultivation from its practitioners. Typically, one would need to reach the Mastery tier and possess a profound foundation to even attempt it.
Even for those who had attained the Mastery tier, mastering the first layer would demand an immense amount of effort and time.
The red-clad girl had intended to remind Lin Yuan not to be overconfident, as merely reaching the first layer of 'Infinite Void' fell far short of the threshold to roam the Chaos Void.
However, upon remembering that Lin Yuan was still at the Path-Opening tier, she found herself at a loss for words.
For someone at the Path-Opening tier to attain the first layer of 'Infinite Void' and possess an internal universe comparable to a Chaos existence? Even with the memories imparted by the founder of the Jade Gourd, the red-clad girl had never heard of such a feat.
"My current strength still pales in comparison to a true Chaos Honored One," Lin Yuan assessed, his gaze unwavering as he scrutinized himself.
Merely matching a Chaos Honored One's internal universe wasn't enough to claim parity with them. After all, the capabilities of a Chaos Honored One extended far beyond their internal universe.
"I'm probably slightly stronger than the Chaos Dragon Beast from the Ancient Chaos Continent of Gu Ming," Lin Yuan mused, his eyes narrowing as he made his estimation.
The Chaos Dragon Beast from the Ancient Chaos Continent of Gu Ming was a wonder born from the Chaos Void, with traces of temporal bloodline flowing within its veins.
That was why it could rival a true Chaos Honored One even while being at the pinnacle of the Mastery tier.
The Chaos Dragon Beast owed its success to its innate advantages, whereas Lin Yuan had relied solely on his accumulation of foundations.
In reality, Lin Yuan's true potential far surpassed that of the Chaos Dragon Beast.
While the Chaos Dragon Beast had reached the pinnacle of the Mastery tier, Lin Yuan was only at the pinnacle of the Path-Opening tier.
The fact that he could already surpass the Chaos Dragon Beast at this stage indicated that once he stepped into the Mastery tier, his strength would undergo another profound transformation, possibly placing him among the strongest of Chaos Honored Ones.
"Internal universe."
Lin Yuan's thoughts stirred, and he channeled the power of his internal universe, causing it to spread out towards the starry void in all directions.
Rumble!
A vast expanse of the starry sky turned into nothingness, a display of strength far surpassing the pinnacle of the Path-Opening realm.
The next moment, the consciousness of the universe's origin descended, encircling Lin Yuan several times before slowly retreating.
"The consciousness of the universe's origin didn't suppress me?" Lin Yuan's eyes narrowed as he considered the situation. He had been prepared to retreat into the Primordial Secret Realm if his actions had drawn the suppressing force of the universe's origin.
However, contrary to his expectations, the consciousness of the universe's origin did not carry out the anticipated suppression.
"Is it because the cost of suppressing me is too high?" Lin Yuan wondered silently.
The consciousness of the universe's origin was devoid of personal emotions, and its actions were always driven by the well-being of the universe as a whole.
The rule prohibiting power surpassing the pinnacle of the Path-Opening realm existed because such strength could cause irreparable damage to the universe.
Therefore, this ironclad law was in place.
But what about Lin Yuan? The destruction he had just caused far exceeded the capabilities of the Path-Opening realm's pinnacle, and upon its descent, the consciousness of the universe's origin had sensed and determined Lin Yuan's true strength.
To suppress Lin Yuan in his current state would be an immense challenge, even for the consciousness of the universe's origin, and the expenditure of its origin power would be enormous.
Thus, it ultimately chose to retreat.
The consciousness of the universe's origin weighed the pros and cons and concluded that the cost of suppressing Lin Yuan far outweighed the benefits.
"In my current state, as long as I don't directly attack the origin of the universe, I can act without restraint in this universe." Lin Yuan's thoughts turned to this realization.
Of course, Lin Yuan was also aware that the tolerance of the universe's origin consciousness towards him was limited.
There was a threshold, and if he crossed a certain bottom line, even if it meant incurring a devastating cost, the consciousness of the universe's origin would still take action against him.
"I wonder what would happen if I chose to leave this universe now?" Lin Yuan suddenly pondered.
With the amount of energy and resources he had consumed from this universe, if he were to permanently depart and sever all ties with it, it would undoubtedly provoke a significant response from the consciousness of the universe's origin.
Lin Yuan speculated that this was the bottom line for the consciousness of the universe's origin.
"Never mind, I won't try it." Lin Yuan shook his head.
If he chose to leave the universe at this moment, he would undoubtedly face the full force of the consciousness of the universe's origin in its prime.
However, if he waited until after the Great Universe Destruction, when the consciousness of the universe's origin was about to fall asleep, the intensity of its resistance and suppression would be much weaker.
Jie Clan Domain
Land of the Unknown
In front of an ordinary-looking wooden house, an ultimate being of the Jie Clan emerged and suddenly looked towards a certain direction. "That's... a power surpassing the pinnacle of the Path-Opening realm?"
This unassuming wooden house was a secret treasure left by the mother clan of the Jie Clan. Not only could it withstand the Great Universe Destruction, but it also had the ability to observe various auras within the universe.
Just now, the two ultimate beings of the Jie Clan had clearly sensed an aura far surpassing the pinnacle of the Path-Opening realm.
"Is it the aura of a Galaxy Supreme, a Galaxy Supreme displaying strength beyond the pinnacle of the Path-Opening realm?" The ultimate being inside the wooden house asked, puzzled.
The ultimate being outside the wooden house was equally confused.
They had no doubt that the Galaxy Supremes possessed strength surpassing the pinnacle of the Path-Opening realm. Even their casual incarnations possessed the power of the Path-Opening realm's pinnacle, and their true bodies had undoubtedly entered the Dominator realm.
The reason they didn't display their Dominator realm strength was simply due to the suppression of the universe.
But just now, had Galaxy Prime exhibited Dominator realm power?
Didn't he fear being suppressed by the consciousness of the universe's origin?
They, who had endured from the previous universe era to the current one, would be suppressed by the consciousness of the universe's origin if they displayed strength beyond the pinnacle of the Path-Opening realm.
And Lin Yuan, as a life born in this universe era, should be treated similarly. If he unleashed power surpassing the pinnacle of the Path-Opening realm, he would also attract the suppressing force of the universe's origin.
Being suppressed by the consciousness of the universe's origin was not a pleasant experience.
"Hmm?"
"The consciousness of the universe's origin didn't take action? It retreated instead?"
Immediately, the two ultimate beings of the Jie Clan widened their eyes. Through the perception of the wooden house, they confirmed that the consciousness of the universe's origin had indeed descended upon the area where the Galaxy Supreme had unleashed his power.
However, there were no signs of any suppressing fluctuations, and the consciousness of the universe's origin ultimately did not carry out any actions, choosing to retreat instead.
"The consciousness of the universe's origin retreated voluntarily?"
The ultimate being outside the wooden house was stunned, and his heart trembled involuntarily.
