Chapter 579: Reward
Chapter 579: Reward
The blazing sun's power surged forth, a natural occurrence as Lin Yuan slightly stimulated his Blazing Sun Divine Body, causing the formation of a Blazing Sun World that suppressed the countless war machines of the Purple Dream Domain, rendering them immobile.
This was the terrifying boost brought about by over 30,000 Blazing Sun Seeds to his Blazing Sun Divine Body.
Buzz...
Under Lin Yuan's watchful gaze, the war machines of the Purple Dream Domain began to fall into an irreversible state of self-destruction, one after another.
"What a pity."
Lin Yuan knew at a glance that he was powerless to stop this self-destruction.
Even the lowest-grade, Grade C war machines were unique, each imbued with Chaos Secret Patterns that were top secrets of their respective Ancient Countries.
Thus, each war machine was engraved with a self-destruct Secret Pattern. Should it fall out of control, it would immediately self-destruct to prevent its capture by the enemy.
If it weren't destroyed, and the enemy were to decipher and replicate the Chaos Secret Patterns within, they would be able to produce identical war machines.
This was something the Ancient Countries could never allow.
Previously, when Lin Yuan saw Leigo, the Great Revered, attacking the Grade B Intermediate war machine, he immediately stopped him, fearing that Leigo's methods would trigger the self-destruct Secret Pattern within.
"Even though they've self-destructed, the residual materials are still valuable."
Lin Yuan watched as the war machines crumbled before him.
The creation of these war machines not only required the engraving of corresponding Chaos Secret Patterns but also the use of rare and valuable materials.
After all, they needed to withstand the combined might of hundreds or even thousands of Dominator Realm cultivators and amplify their power. Weaker materials would simply disintegrate under the strain, unable to deliver a blow threatening to the Great Revered.
"These residual materials, along with the merits earned from defeating the enemy, should be substantial. They'll allow me to obtain numerous cultivation resources."
Lin Yuan was in high spirits.
He also spared a glance at Leigo, the Great Revered, who had fled deep into the Purple Dream Domain.
Leigo's strength far surpassed that of the Nine Xuan Venerables of the Chaos Void.
While Lin Yuan could forcibly kill him, it would undoubtedly lead to a lengthy pursuit.
Venturing deep into the heart of the Purple Dream Domain would introduce many variables, and if multiple Peak Great Revereds or even Heavenly Venerables joined the fray, escaping unscathed would be challenging.
Thus, Lin Yuan never intended to pursue Leigo.
"My strength is still too weak."
"If I could fully cultivate the second layer of the Infinite Void and attain near-invincibility among Great Revereds, I'd have the confidence to defeat Leigo."
Lin Yuan secretly thought to himself.
As an enemy Great Revered, killing Leigo would undoubtedly earn him substantial merits.
Even if Leigo had a life-saving measure and couldn't be completely annihilated, it would still take time for him to recover his full strength.
It was highly likely that he wouldn't be able to participate in the upcoming war.
All of these would count toward Lin Yuan's merits.
During wartime, killing an enemy Great Revered's true body was no easy feat, as they rarely found themselves alone.
Thus, the rewards for such an accomplishment would be substantial.
Swish...
After confirming that Leigo wouldn't dare return, Lin Yuan flipped his hand, and the Grade B Intermediate war machine appeared, landing not far away.
To ensure the war machine's safety, Lin Yuan had kept it with him until now.
"Great Revered."
"Thank you, Great Revered, for your assistance."
From within the war machine, the one-horned man, Luo Peng, and the other Peak Dominator Realm rulers flew out, expressing their gratitude to Lin Yuan.
At this moment, they also realized that if it weren't for Lin Yuan, they would have likely perished under Leigo's attack.
"It's nothing."
Lin Yuan shook his head. "The enemy has been routed. You can clean up the battlefield now."
All the war machines of the Purple Dream Domain had self-destructed, and the countless Dominator Realm cultivators within had become Lin Yuan's prisoners of war.
Regarding these captives, the various Ancient Countries had an unspoken agreement to handle them through a 'ransom' system after the war.
Thus, Lin Yuan didn't mistreat them but merely confined them to a corner of his internal universe.
"Yes."
"Yes."
"Great Revered's might cowed Leigo, the Great Revered, into a hasty retreat."
At this moment, the one-horned man, Luo Peng, and the other Peak Dominators couldn't help but sing Lin Yuan's praises.
Although they had been inside the war machine and taken away by Lin Yuan, they were still roughly aware of what had transpired through the communication between their clones.
"Defeating Leigo isn't a big deal. The outcome of the war depends on the battle at the core defense line."
Lin Yuan shook his head, having a clear understanding of his own capabilities.
Compared to this war involving dozens of Great Domains, his influence was negligible.
"But you still secured a victory for this section of the defense line."
Luo Peng, the one-horned man, quickly added.
"All of you may leave now."
After speaking, Lin Yuan's figure disappeared from view.
After Lin Yuan left,
Luo Peng, the one-horned man, and the other Peak Dominators raised their heads.
"I thought we'd have to fight hard, but I never expected it to end so quickly." One of the Peak Dominators sighed.
"It's all because of Galaxy, the Great Revered," Luo Peng said.
"Yes, it's because of him."
The others nodded in agreement. Without Lin Yuan, they might have been able to withstand the enemy's assault, but they would have had to pay a steep price, and some war machines might have even self-destructed.
Lin Yuan returned to the rear of the defensive line and observed the intense battles taking place in the core defensive zone, where peak Grand Lords clashed in a dazzling display of power.
Half a day passed, and the peak Grand Lords on both sides began to gradually cease their hostilities. The war had just started, and the powerful Grand Lords were mostly testing each other's strengths, not yet unleashing their full capabilities.
It was rare for a decisive victory to be achieved so quickly, as in the case of Lin Yuan and Lei Ge Grand Lord.
After a moment, Lin Yuan prepared to continue his study of the war machines.
Suddenly, Qing Fen Hou appeared before him, his avatar descending upon the battlefield.
"Galaxy," Qing Fen Hou greeted Lin Yuan with a warm smile, feeling immense pride in his disciple's accomplishments.
Lin Yuan's impressive display of strength had brought honor to him among the peak Grand Lords, many of whom were unmatched in battle but lacked the ability to nurture such talented disciples.
"His Highness Red Pine wishes to see you," Qing Fen Hou said, getting straight to the point of his visit.
"His Highness Red Pine wants to see me?" Lin Yuan asked, slightly surprised. "Red Pine" was the title of a royal duke, and they preferred to be addressed as "Your Highness" by others.
"Indeed," Qing Fen Hou nodded. "Rest assured, it's good news."
He explained, "By defeating Lei Ge Grand Lord, you have boosted the morale of our side, even if it wasn't directly on the core defensive line. His Highness Red Pine is very pleased."
"His Highness Red Pine is pleased," Qing Fen Hou continued, looking at Lin Yuan. "If you have any requests, now is the time to make them. Even if he doesn't agree, there won't be any repercussions, but if he does, it will be a great opportunity for you."
"Is that so?" Lin Yuan blinked, intrigued by the prospect.
"When His Highness is happy, he's more likely to be accommodating," Qing Fen Hou said, his understanding of Red Pine's character evident.
"I'll take you to him now," he added, and without further ado, he and Lin Yuan began traversing the void together.
After just a few dozen void traversals, they arrived at a small floating city in the sky. The city wasn't particularly large, spanning only tens of billions of miles, akin to a small cave mansion.
Qing Fen Hou led Lin Yuan to a pavilion within the small city.
"Your Highness, Galaxy is here," Qing Fen Hou announced.
"Come in," a gentle voice replied from within.
Lin Yuan followed Qing Fen Hou into the pavilion and saw Red Pine seated in the center. As a Grand Lord himself, Red Pine's aura was far more oppressive than that of Qing Fen Hou, and even far surpassed that of Hong Ye Grand Lord.
"Galaxy, please take a seat," Red Pine said, his smile warm and devoid of any aristocratic airs.
Lin Yuan sat down.
"I'm delighted by your performance on the battlefield," Red Pine said, beaming. "Now, tell me, what would you like as a reward?"
Qing Fen Hou remained silent and still, standing by.
"A reward?" Lin Yuan asked. He had already been informed by Qing Fen Hou that this was an opportunity to make a bold request, and even if it wasn't granted, there would be no negative consequences.
"What should I ask for?" Lin Yuan wondered, his mind racing with possibilities.
Resources? There were plenty of ways to acquire those, so it didn't seem like the best use of this opportunity.
"Your Highness," Lin Yuan said after a moment's thought, "I wish to study the Grade A war machines."
Thus far, Lin Yuan had only been exposed to Grade B war machines. These were already incredibly powerful, but Grade A war machines were on an entirely different level and could only be found on the core defensive line.
Even if Lin Yuan went to the core defensive line, the overseers there were all peak Grand Lords, and he wouldn't be able to study the war machines as freely as he had in the Dingqi Seventh Defensive Zone.
Moreover, even with Qing Fen Hou's covert assistance, it would be difficult to keep it a secret from Red Pine.
"Study Grade A war machines?" Qing Fen Hou's expression changed slightly upon hearing Lin Yuan's request. He hadn't expected his disciple to be so bold.
Grade A war machines could accommodate thousands to tens of thousands of peak Dominator experts, and their attacks could threaten even peak Grand Lords. These war machines were capable of turning the tide of a local war, and even Qing Fen Hou himself didn't have the qualifications to approach them without permission.
In Qing Fen Hou's opinion, Lin Yuan's request was unlikely to be granted. Even if Red Pine was in a good mood, Grade A war machines represented the foundation of the Ancient Nation, and Red Pine was well aware of their significance.
If Lin Yuan had asked for a precious treasure, Qing Fen Hou believed Red Pine would have agreed, but Grade A war machines were a different matter. If Red Pine agreed to this request, he would also be taking on a certain amount of risk.
Should the secrets of the war machine's Chaos Patterns be leaked in the future, Red Pine would bear the brunt of the blame.
"Grade A war machines?" Red Pine raised an eyebrow, then shook his head. "You certainly know how to make demands."
Lin Yuan realized that the importance of Grade A war machines was even greater than he had initially estimated upon hearing Red Pine's response.
"But who am I to deny you when you've brought me so much joy?" Red Pine smiled at Lin Yuan. "Since you wish to study Grade A war machines, you may study all the Grade A war machines deployed in this war."
