Chapter 574: Unveiling the Fiery Sun

Chapter 574: Unveiling the Fiery Sun

Deep within his bloodline, a complete divine ability mark took form.

Hazy and indistinct.

Brilliant and intertwined.

Lin Yuan observed it carefully, taking in the sensations it evoked.

In a daze, he found himself in a world shrouded in endless darkness.

There was not a hint of light, only coldness and deathly silence.

And then...

Somewhere in this world.

A spark suddenly ignited.

The appearance of this spark broke the eternal silence.

For the first time, the concept of light entered this world.

And with it, heat.

The spark grew into a flame, spreading light and warmth.

A brand new world was born.

Eventually, the flame transformed into a fiery sun, hanging eternally in the sky.

Where the light shone, his domain was established.

Lin Yuan sat quietly with his legs crossed, but his mind was far from calm.

Even after he stopped contemplating the divine ability mark, the scenes he witnessed kept replaying in his mind.

Who would have thought that the physical divine ability he awakened would have such grand ambitions? On the surface, it seemed like a mere scene of a fiery sun appearing in endless darkness.

But in truth, as the light of that sun spread, an entire world was created.

Creating a world? For Lin Yuan, that was not a difficult task. However, the world brought forth by this fiery sun was of an incredibly high caliber, seemingly using the 'template' of the source world he currently inhabited.

Creating a source world? The vastness of the source world was immeasurable, even more mysterious than the chaotic void. To create such a world was almost an impossible feat.

"The power of a thirteenth-order temporal lifeform is truly terrifying."

Lin Yuan's thoughts turned inward as he marveled at the revelation.

The creator of the Infinite Void, a thirteenth-order temporal lifeform, intended to use this foundational legacy to nurture a universe within the body that rivaled the chaotic void.

And the physical divine ability that Lin Yuan had awakened originated from the Fiery Sun Ancestor, a thirteenth-order temporal lifeform, whose ultimate goal was to create a vast world like the source world.

"Thirteenth-order temporal lifeforms essentially occupy a dimensional space. Their perspective transcends the dimension they inhabit, and they yearn to explore and dominate more dimensions."

Lin Yuan pondered silently.

Dimension was a broad concept, encompassing a scope far greater than that of the chaotic void or the source world.

Both the chaotic void and the source world were merely parts of a dimensional space.

"My current self is far from that of a thirteenth-order temporal lifeform."

Lin Yuan shook his head slightly. Although twelfth and thirteenth orders were only one step apart, the difference was akin to that between a person in a painting and one outside of it.

"This physical divine ability..."

Lin Yuan continued to examine the divine ability mark, pondering for a moment. "Let's call it 'Unveiling the Fiery Sun'."

In fact, neither the first nor the current seventh physical divine ability had specific names. Lin Yuan named them based on their effects.

The seventh physical divine ability was, in essence, a fiery sun hanging high, illuminating all under its light as its domain.

Hence, Lin Yuan named it 'Unveiling the Fiery Sun'.

"Fiery Sun."

With a slight stir of Lin Yuan's consciousness, a spark formed in front of him.

This spark emanated an indistinct aura, and the surrounding space-time began to transform and assimilate rapidly under its influence.

If Lin Yuan were to continuously channel energy into this spark, sustaining its burning and spreading, it would theoretically evolve into a second eternal fiery sun.

Illuminating the vast ancient kingdoms.

Of course, this was just a theory. Firstly, Lin Yuan did not have nearly enough energy to support such an endeavor.

Secondly, even if he did, allowing this spark to evolve unchecked would undoubtedly attract the attention of the true eternal fiery sun hanging in the sky.

"Unveiling the heavens?" Lin Yuan regarded the slowly burning spark. "With my current realm and strength, it's impossible for me to create a world like the source world. But with the help of this awakened physical divine ability, have I indirectly achieved it?"

Creating a world required replacing the rules and avenues of the heavens and earth with one's own.

Whether it was the rules of the chaotic void or those of the source world, their vastness was beyond measure. For Lin Yuan to even consider creating such a world with his understanding of the rules was nothing but a pipe dream.

"This is the power of a divine ability."

Lin Yuan's expression was filled with emotion. Even without fully grasping or comprehending it, he could still use and manifest it.

In simpler terms, it was similar to when he was at the first stage and displayed a technique that required a complete understanding of spatial rules.

Of course, forcibly manifesting such a technique without truly understanding the spatial rules resulted in a rigid and inflexible display.

It was the same technique, over and over again.

However, there was no doubt that it would crush those of the same level.

"With my current strength, if I exert this divine ability with all my might, I should be able to maintain the 'Fiery Sun' for about three seconds."

Lin Yuan thought to himself, "But within those three seconds, not even a Grand尊-level powerhouse would be able to withstand it. A Grand尊 at the peak of their power would perish, and perhaps only a Heavenly尊 would have a chance to survive."

The divine ability 'Unveiling the Fiery Sun' was evidently comparable to a secret art of the thirteenth stage.

However, limited by Lin Yuan's strength and foundation, he could not unleash the full power of this secret art.

Even so, it was still capable of allowing a Dominator-level lifeform to slay a Grand尊 at the peak of their power.

The gap between Dominator and Grand尊 was as vast as the heavens and earth. Even the core royal families of the ancient kingdoms could only hope for a Dominator to challenge a Grand尊.

As for slaying a Grand尊, especially one at the peak?

Even Lin Yuan, with his countless advantages, only dared to consider himself capable of slaying a Grand尊 at the peak after reaching the pinnacle of the Dominator realm and mastering various means, such as perfecting his cultivation of the Infinite Void.

And now? Lin Yuan's actual combat strength was merely close to the peak of Grand尊.

"With the power of this physical divine ability, as long as I step into the Chaotic Realm, basically no Grand尊 or Heavenly尊 will be able to stand against me."

"This is a mighty ability indeed." Lin Yuan's eyes sparkled with excitement. "Even in the Chaotic Void, the mighty Saints would be no match for me with this power."

The Great Lords of this source world were akin to the尊者 in the Chaotic Void, and the Heavenly Saints were equivalent to the mighty Saints.

However, this ability was not without its drawbacks. Its immense consumption made it challenging for Lin Yuan to control perfectly. In a one-on-one or even a group battle, Lin Yuan would be fearless, but if his opponents took turns attacking during the interval of this ability's activation, it would be a slight headache.

"Regardless, this ability is undoubtedly the most powerful card I have right now. Even the so-called pure killing technique, 'Tear Heaven,' pales in comparison."

Lin Yuan's spirits were high.

The 'Tear Heaven' technique was a single, powerful attack, while 'Fiery Sun Creation' could be sustained for a period, making it a significantly enhanced version of the 'World' technique.

Of course, the intricacies involved in the 'Fiery Sun Creation' far surpassed those of the 'World' technique.

Up to this point, Lin Yuan had only considered the might of the 'Fiery Sun Creation'. In reality, this technique leaned more toward 'creation' and 'opening'.

As for destruction? That was merely one aspect of it.

【Name: Yu Yan (Lin Yuan)】

【Identity: Myriad Worlds' Gate Master】

【Bound Talent: Heaven-Defying Comprehension】

【Techniques: Blood Rebirth, Move Mountain, Enhancement, Elemental Body, World, Tear Heaven, Fiery Sun Creation】

【Current State: Consciousness Descended】

【Remaining Time: None】

Lin Yuan glanced at the seventh technique that had just 'updated' in the lower left of his vision.

"The top priority now is to comprehend this divine mark."

Lin Yuan calmed himself. Only by comprehending this divine mark could he bring it back to the Chaotic Void and share it with his true self, divine souls, and other incarnations.

Of course, by 'comprehend' here, he didn't mean understanding the true nature of 'Fiery Sun Creation', as that would be too difficult for him.

Instead, he only needed to comprehend the divine mark that contained this technique.

It was like a high-tech product; one only needed to perfectly replicate each component to reassemble it.

As for understanding the function and effect of each component, that could be left for future research.

"I mustn't die before I comprehend it."

Lin Yuan thought to himself.

His current physical body was the vessel for the 'Fiery Sun Creation' technique. If it died, the technique's imprint would dissipate, and before he comprehended it, it would be as if he had lost this technique entirely.

This was a price Lin Yuan was unwilling to pay.

As for choosing to traverse to two completely identical lives again, Lin Yuan was unsure if he could continue to awaken the 'Fiery Sun Creation' technique.

Moreover, choosing to traverse and descend again meant that Lin Yuan would have to start over.

All the time and effort he had invested previously would be wasted.

"With my current strength, as long as I'm cautious, it should be difficult for me to die."

Lin Yuan was confident. In the past thousand years, his true self and main incarnation had mostly been cultivating in seclusion, but his two divine soul incarnations had basically traveled throughout the nearby grand domains, setting up backup plans for self-preservation.

Unless the ancestors of the ancient countries, those 13th-rank time lifeforms, took action themselves, it would be almost impossible to completely kill Lin Yuan.

Fiery Sun Ancient Country, Red Pine Domain.

This grand domain was the fief of the royal family, Red Pine King, and he was in charge of defending against Lingwei King's invasion.

Similar to Lingwei King, Red Pine King had become a king due to his royal identity, and his strength was comparable to the peak of the Great Lord realm.

However, unlike Lingwei King, Red Pine King had modest ambitions and little desire to become the emperor of the ancient country.

In the royal city, Qing Fen Hou's incarnation stood before a man with a casual demeanor.

"Your Highness, I'm worried that Lingwei King will seek help from his younger brother."

Qing Fen Hou expressed his concern.

Lingwei King's younger brother was a Great Lord with a core royal bloodline.

Who could stand against such an existence if they joined the battlefield?

At the Great Lord realm, the core royal bloodline was so powerful that it could sweep through those of the same rank. If they reached the extreme of the Great Lord realm, they could even contend with the Heavenly Saints.

Moreover, unlike regular Heavenly Saints, core royals were ultimately at the Great Lord realm, so even if they took action, they wouldn't significantly escalate the war's intensity.

"That fellow Lingwei King might indeed do that to become emperor."

Red Pine King's expression was casual, but his tone turned slightly solemn.

If Qing Fen Hou were breached, the king in charge of commanding the war would undoubtedly bear responsibility.

"Leave this matter to me."

Red Pine King looked at Qing Fen Hou and spoke.

"Yes."

Qing Fen Hou breathed a slight sigh of relief.

With Red Pine King's involvement, they would likely be able to invite a Great Lord from the core royal family to counter Lingwei King's younger brother.

"Let me think."

Red Pine King's thoughts stirred, and an incarnation immediately condensed in the distant capital.

As a member of the ancient country's royal family, he usually had to stay in his fief but could return to the capital at any time.

Soon, Red Pine King arrived at a vast mansion.

"Sixth Brother."

Red Pine King waited outside.

His sixth brother was a core royal and usually spent his time comprehending the ancestor's bloodline, rarely involving himself in other matters.

The core royals had an almost perfect concentration of ancestor bloodlines, and even becoming an emperor would not enhance their bloodline much. Thus, most core royals had little interest in the imperial position.

Becoming an emperor brought power and influence, but it also meant being bogged down by countless trivial matters.

The doors of the mansion swung open with a rustle.

An elderly servant-like figure emerged and bowed to the Red Pine King, saying, "Your Highness, please come in."

The Red Pine King immediately entered and, within the pavilion in the cave mansion, met with his sixth brother.

The Red Pine King's sixth brother was a tall man, and at that moment, he was sitting with his legs crossed, with a subtle profound aura circulating within him.

"Sixth brother, I feel you've gotten even stronger. Could it be that you're about to break free from the constraints of a Zenith Noble and step into the Zenith Noble realm?" The Red Pine King immediately began to flatter him.

He had come this time with a request, so naturally, he chose to speak pleasing words.

"Zenith Noble?" The tall man shook his head. "We royals, our success or failure depends on our bloodline. It almost eliminates the possibility of entering the Zenith Noble realm."

Of course, the core royals who truly cultivated to the extreme of Grand Noble were not afraid of Zenith Noble level powerhouses. They even relied on the many foundations of the ancient countries to make those Zenith Nobles extremely wary.

"So, what brings you here?"

The tall man looked at the Red Pine King. He knew his younger brother's character very well, and if he wasn't here for a request, he definitely wouldn't be speaking like this.

"Sixth brother, you know I was bored staying in the imperial city, so I asked for a fief. I was still quite carefree outside, but that Ling Wei King actually wants to invade our ancient country's territory to become emperor."

The Red Pine King continued, "As it happens, my fief is nearby, so I automatically became the commander-in-chief to resist the invasion of Ling Wei King."

"If it were just Ling Wei King, I wouldn't be afraid, but it's Ling Wei King's younger brother..."

The Red Pine King said up to this point, his face bitter as he looked at the tall man, "Sixth brother, I'm no match for them."

"I see."

The tall man nodded. "You want me to help you?"

"Yes."

The Red Pine King immediately nodded. "The only one I can ask is my sixth brother. As for the others, even if they're willing to help, they'll definitely take advantage and ask for a hefty price."

Under the pretext of an invasion by a hostile ancient country, it wouldn't be difficult for him, the Red Pine King, to seek aid in the name of the royal family and invite a core royal at the Grand Noble realm to take action.

However, taking action comes at a price. The core royals at the Grand Noble realm would require compensation.

This was an unspoken rule in the ancient countries.

"Since you've said so much, I'll help you when the time comes."

The tall man sighed and said helplessly, "But I'll only take action if Ling Wei King's younger brother makes a move. Otherwise, I won't budge."

"That's natural."

"Ling Wei King is nothing without his younger brother's support."

The Red Pine King immediately added.

In the city of Qing Fen.

Lin Yuan's true body was cultivating and comprehending in the Fen Tian Institute, while he left an avatar outside to communicate with the other Grand Nobles.

Each Grand Noble had evolved a power unique to themselves from the chaos, and this held great significance for Lin Yuan's reference.

If it were usual times, the Grand Nobles would be stationed in their respective areas, and Lin Yuan wouldn't have had the opportunity to communicate with them even if he wanted to.

But now? With the imminent invasion of the Purple Dream Realm, nearly twenty Grand Nobles had gathered in the city of Qing Fen, allowing Lin Yuan to communicate with them at any time.

In fact, it wasn't so much Lin Yuan communicating with these Grand Nobles, but rather the Grand Nobles interacting with each other, with Lin Yuan quietly observing and listening from the side.

Whoosh!

Two streams of Chaotic Fire clashed, one displaying two colors—a reddish-orange and a bluish-green—while the other was filled with a sharp meaning.

It resembled a Chaotic Fire Axe, cleaving through everything.

The next moment.

The Chaotic Fire filled with sharp meaning retreated.

"Brother Hong Ye, with the path you've walked by combining Chaotic Fire and Chaotic Life, you'll probably become a Zenith Noble soon."

The Fire Axe Grand Noble looked at Hong Ye Grand Noble with a slight sense of emotion.

He, too, was a Grand Noble at the peak, and the Chaotic Fire path he took focused on annihilation, using Chaotic Fire as a giant axe to destroy everything.

Undoubtedly, the Fire Axe Grand Noble was a Grand Noble at the peak skilled in killing.

However, when the Fire Axe Grand Noble sparred with Hong Ye Grand Noble earlier, he was put in a difficult position by Hong Ye Grand Noble's use of both Chaotic Fire and Chaotic Life.

In the end, he could only admit defeat.

"Hahaha, Brother Fire Axe, you're just joking. Zenith Noble? I don't even know where my path to Zenith Noble lies at the moment."

Hong Ye Grand Noble shook his head and said, "Also, we're just sparring, and I can't use my true killing techniques. This is a bit unfair to you, Brother Fire Axe."

After Hong Ye Grand Noble finished speaking.

The Fire Axe Grand Noble's expression improved significantly.

"I can't use my killing techniques, and neither did you, Brother Hong Ye. Losing is losing."

The Fire Axe Grand Noble said with equanimity.

The other Grand Nobles in the audience also occasionally sparred and communicated.

However, most of the Grand Nobles' attention was focused on Hong Ye Grand Noble and Fire Axe Grand Noble.

After all, these two Grand Nobles were both at the peak of their realm.

Lin Yuan sat in the corner, quietly observing the collisions between the Grand Nobles.

【Your comprehension is heaven-defying. By observing the fluctuations of Chaotic Fire, your understanding of the Chaotic Fire path has improved.】

Most of the Grand Nobles in the arena walked the path of Chaotic Fire, with occasional glimpses of other paths, but Lin Yuan still focused on comprehending the Chaotic Fire path.

Just at that moment.

Hong Ye Grand Noble, who had just finished sparring with Fire Axe Grand Noble, suddenly turned his gaze to Lin Yuan.

"Yu Yan."

Hong Ye Grand Noble spoke warmly.

The other Grand Nobles also looked over.

"Grand Noble Hong Ye." Lin Yuan immediately responded.

"You've also entered the Grand Noble realm for some time. Have you thought of a title for yourself?" Hong Ye Grand Noble asked with interest.

Generally, Grand Nobles would give themselves a title.

For example, Hong Ye Grand Noble's real name was definitely not Hong Ye.

The same was true for Qing Fen Grand Noble.

"A title, huh."

Lin Yuan thought for a moment before finally speaking, "Then I shall be called Galaxy."
