Chapter 587: Your Majesty is Undefeated, But What Am I?
Chapter 587: Your Majesty is Undefeated, But What Am I?
"What power!"
Not far away, Chi Jue's eyes narrowed.
He was still wondering why Lin Yuan hadn't joined forces with him against the Spirit God King when he witnessed this astonishing attack.
"Is Galaxy Majestic's strength comparable to a core royal at its peak growth? Or is Galaxy Majestic himself a core royal who has reached the peak of growth?"
Chi Jue's heart was filled with doubt and uncertainty.
Lin Yuan's attack had proven his strength, and even if Chi Jue went all out, he wouldn't be able to match this strike.
In theory, a typical Majestic could rival a core royal at its peak growth, even without relying on the power of their ancestral bloodline.
But that was just theory.
Such Majestics were even rarer than Majestics of the heavens.
Core royals who had reached their peak growth relied on the power of their ancestral bloodline to attain that level. It was unimaginable for a typical Majestic to achieve the same.
Therefore, Chi Jue was more inclined to believe that Lin Yuan was a core royal who had reached the peak of growth.
Moreover, the technique Lin Yuan had just displayed was clearly the Blazing Sun World, an innate ability of the Blazing Sun Divine Body.
"Is he a core royal from my Blazing Sun Ancient Country who's been traveling abroad?" Chi Jue wondered silently.
The Blazing Sun Ancient Country had existed for countless ages, and some of its core royals, in their pursuit of further advancement, sought to break free from the shackles that prevented them from transcending into Majestics of the Heavens.
Often, they chose to travel and explore other ancient countries, hoping to find new resources and insights.
The resources and traditions of the Blazing Sun Ancient Country could only take them so far, so they sought to borrow the strength and knowledge of other ancient countries.
Of course, such core royals were extremely rare. Core royals themselves were scarce, and those who had reached their peak and chose to travel the world were even rarer.
"Galaxy."
The Spirit God King stared at Lin Yuan, his mind in turmoil.
He, too, had come to the same speculation as Chi Jue—that Lin Yuan was a core royal from the Blazing Sun Ancient Country who had reached his peak and was now traveling the world.
It was just a coincidence that he had passed through the Green Burn Domain, arrived just as the Spiritual Majesty was waging war, and witnessed the Spirit God King reveal his full power.
"What luck I have," the Spirit God King thought with a sense of helplessness. If just one of these coincidences hadn't aligned, he wouldn't be in this situation.
He could only blame his bad luck.
"This complicates things."
The Spirit God King gazed at Lin Yuan. If Lin Yuan was indeed a core royal who had reached his peak, just like him, then his plan to invade the Green Burn Domain was essentially doomed to failure.
It wasn't just a matter of failure; now, he had to worry about the Purple Dream Domain being invaded by the Green Burn Domain. After all, in addition to Lin Yuan, there was also Chi Jue, and Chi Jue, though not at his peak, was far beyond what a peak Majestic could match. At the moment, there was no one in the Purple Dream Domain who could hold Chi Jue back.
"Is Galaxy also a core royal from my ancient country? And not just any core royal, but one who has reached the peak?"
In the distance, the Majestics of the Green Burn Domain looked at each other in astonishment. They, too, could sense the power of Lin Yuan's previous attack, and with their keen insight as Majestics, they immediately arrived at a similar speculation.
After all, only this speculation made sense and could explain what they were witnessing.
"Green Burn, I never expected you to have such fortune," a peak Majestic commented as he looked at Green Burn Marquis.
As for the master-disciple relationship between Green Burn Marquis and Lin Yuan? It was probably a case of this peak core royal from the Blazing Sun Ancient Country hiding his identity as he traveled the world, and perhaps he had made some agreement with Green Burn Marquis to temporarily reside in Green Burn City.
"Me?" Green Burn Marquis blinked, feeling a bit unsure himself.
"Even since I reached my peak, I've never had the chance to cross paths with other peak core royals from ancient countries."
The Spirit God King fixed his gaze on Lin Yuan, a hint of battle intent flickering in his eyes. At this moment, he had set aside the outcome of the war and only wanted to engage in a good fight with Lin Yuan, this peak core royal from the Blazing Sun Ancient Country.
Initially, the Spirit God King hadn't been interested in this low-intensity war, and he wouldn't have come if not for the Spiritual Majesty.
Now that he had encountered an opponent of equal standing, with the war already decided, the Spirit God King yearned to clash with Lin Yuan.
His previous battle with Chi Jue couldn't even be considered a warm-up compared to the overwhelming might Lin Yuan had displayed when he unleashed the Blazing Sun Divine Body.
"Galaxy, take this strike from me."
The Spirit God King extended his right hand, and a silver longsword appeared in his grip. With a casual slash, he sent a faint beam of light toward Lin Yuan.
The extremely subtle sword light tore through the chaos of time, space, and the void as it sped toward Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan stood still, his Blazing Sun Divine Body operating on its own. The closer the sword light came, the more intense the scorching heat became, forming layer upon layer of time and space.
Sizzle!
The collision between the sword light and the scorching heat sent ripples in all directions, sweeping across billions of miles.
This strike from the Spirit God King was a full-powered attack, and even its aftermath forced Chi Jue, who was watching from a distance, to retreat.
"Is this what a battle between peak core royals looks like?"
Chi Jue's expression turned solemn. He, too, had sparred with peak core royals from the Blazing Sun Ancient Country, but those were amicable exchanges between members of the same clan, and they naturally wouldn't go all out.
Buzz!
The aftermath continued to spread further, causing the Majestics who were watching from a distance to tremble.
"Is this the power of a peak core royal?"
"No wonder they can go toe-to-toe with Majestics of the Heavens for a few moves."
"These Grand Venerables couldn't help but think to themselves, between Heaven Lords, limit-breaking core royals are the strongest. This is the basic understanding among the various ancient countries.
"Is that enough to block me?"
The Spirit God King held a silver long knife and looked at Lin Yuan, who hadn't moved at all, before slashing out again.
The sword light that burst forth from this slash split into two, then four, and finally eight.
In the blink of an eye, the space around the Spirit God King was filled with countless silver sword lights.
"Rise!"
The endless silver sword lights formed a grand formation, engulfing Lin Yuan.
"Let's switch it up. These tricks won't do anything to me."
Seeing this, Lin Yuan gently flicked his sleeve.
The Blazing Sun Divine Body activated once more, and the terrifying Blazing Sun World contracted, causing the endless silver sword light formation to quickly dissipate.
"Hmph!"
The Spirit God King sheathed his silver long knife, and a vortex appeared in his eyes as a soul-shaking, mind-blowing assault descended.
"A mental attack?"
Lin Yuan immediately became aware, but his mental will was entirely hidden within the depths of his internal universe.
At this moment, Lin Yuan's internal universe was more vast than ever before, with the Blazing Sun Source sitting at its center and the universe's spacetime endlessly expanding thanks to the modification by the 《Infinite Void》.
The Spirit God King's full-powered mental will assault was diluted and dispersed the moment it entered Lin Yuan's internal universe.
"This guy..." The Spirit God King frowned. His mental assault hadn't just failed to shake Lin Yuan's will, he wasn't even sure if it had any effect at all.
"Since that's the case..."
The Spirit God King didn't want to continue testing Lin Yuan's strength, as the previous two attacks were meant to gauge his true power.
After all, the Spirit God King was facing an opponent of the same level, a limit-breaking core royal, so he had to be cautious.
"Next, I'll use my strongest killing move."
Before the Spirit God King could finish speaking, his body vanished from sight.
In its place appeared countless 'spirits'.
What are spirits?
Spirits are a special kind of energy that exists within all things. The founder of the Grand Spirit Ancient Country is the source of all spirits in the world.
The founder of the Blazing Sun Ancient Country is the eternal blazing sun high above, looked up to by all living beings.
On the other hand, the founder of the Grand Spirit Ancient Country is the source of the spirits within all things, existing among them.
"Hahaha, I can sense the abundant spirits within you. Become one with me!"
The voice of the Spirit God King faintly echoed as he transformed into the spirits of the world, even gaining control over the spirits within all things.
"Hmm?"
Lin Yuan furrowed his brows slightly.
He could sense that the Spirit God King was nearby, but he couldn't pinpoint his exact location.
At the same time, Lin Yuan also felt the energy within his body beginning to stir.
"Is this the ability of the Grand Spirit Ancient Country to control the spirits of all things?"
Lin Yuan secretly thought to himself. He had, of course, heard of the abilities and methods of the Grand Spirit Ancient Country, which had been at war with the Blazing Sun Ancient Country for countless years.
However, with Lin Yuan's perfect mastery over his physical body, it would be impossible for a Grand Spirit Ancient Country Grand Venerable to control the spirits within him.
But the Spirit God King's ability broke through those shackles and once again influenced the spirits within Lin Yuan's body.
Of course, it was just an influence, far from control.
Even so, Lin Yuan felt his internal energy becoming chaotic, and his mind began to grow restless.
"Forget it, I'm done playing with you."
Lin Yuan wanted to see the abilities of a Grand Spirit Ancient Country core royal, but he had lost interest at this point.
Rumble rumble!
With a slight movement of Lin Yuan's mind, his physical body's divine ability, 'World', was unleashed.
The formless world descended, merging with the Blazing Sun World, and for a moment, Lin Yuan's control over the surrounding spacetime became unbelievably precise.
The power of the 'World' divine ability depended on one's internal universe.
And at this moment, Lin Yuan's internal universe...
Buzz buzz buzz!
Lin Yuan stood there like an eternal blazing sun, his light shining upon all things within his domain. The countless spirit lights seemed to be forced out, gathering and reassembling to form the figure of the Spirit God King.
"Me?"
The Spirit God King looked confused. His move of transforming into spirits was supposed to be very tricky to deal with, and even Heaven Lords would have to spend some effort to counter it.
But Lin Yuan?
He had forced him out of his spirit form with ease?
How was that possible?
"So this is the ability of a Grand Spirit core royal?"
Lin Yuan looked at the Spirit God King, his physical body's 'World' divine ability exerting terrifying suppression, leaving the Spirit God King unable to resist in the slightest as his physical body, soul, mental will, and consciousness began to crumble bit by bit.
"What kind of power is this?"
"Impossible!?"
The Spirit God King couldn't believe it. He struggled with all his might, but to no avail. He could only watch as he slowly dissipated.
"I've reached my limit, unmatched among Grand Venerables. How can this be? How is this possible?"
The Spirit God King stared at Lin Yuan, his expression filled with disbelief.
In this source world, among the various ancient countries, a core royal that had reached its limit was equivalent to an unmatched Grand Venerable.
This was an iron law, common sense.
"Unmatched among Grand Venerables?"
Lin Yuan retracted his 'World' divine ability, his gaze calm.
You are unmatched among Grand Venerables.
Then what am I?
