Chapter 612: My name is 'Galaxy'
Chapter 612: My name is 'Galaxy'
The vast and boundless cosmic space forcibly replaced the Xuanhuang Universe, enveloping nine Chaos Great Sages within it, like insects trapped in amber, enduring immense pressure at every moment.
The numerous fundamental laws and principles of the Xuanhuang Universe all retreated, giving way to the eternal blazing sun that spanned the center of the cosmic space, where its light illuminated the entire realm.
"The fundamental laws and principles of this post-natural universe are far more oppressive than those of the outer chaos void. Now that the laws within the universe have retreated, it’s likely the same in the chaos void."
The Wild Chaos Great Sage steadied himself, disbelief in his voice, "Could this be the power of a World-Transcending Great Sage, who can create a universe with a single thought, where the surrounding cosmic laws and principles are defined by him?"
"No, it’s just that the fundamental laws and principles are retreating, not being redefined. He’s not a World-Transcending Great Sage," the Wild Chaos Great Sage swallowed hard.
Even if Lin Yuan wasn’t a World-Transcending Great Sage, his strength far surpassed theirs.
At the very least, the Wild Chaos Great Sage admitted he wasn’t a match and saw no need for a confrontation.
"How can he be so strong?"
The Dual Source Great Sage was equally stunned. Previously, outside the Xuanhuang Universe, he had managed to hold Lin Yuan back with a killing move, allowing him to be the first to enter the Xuanhuang Universe.
At that time, Lin Yuan had indeed put some pressure on the Dual Source Great Sage.
But it was just the pressure one would face against an opponent of the same level.
And now? Was this an opponent of the same level?
"Everyone, if you want to live..."
Lin Yuan stood there, looking down at the Chaos Great Sages with a calm tone, "then swear an oath and immediately leave this universe, not to approach it for ten thousand cosmic eras."
Apart from the Shadow Demon Great Sage and the Nine Phoenix Great Sage, Lin Yuan had no significant grudges with the other Chaos Great Sages. As long as they didn’t stay in the Xuanhuang Universe, he didn’t mind letting them go once.
Mainly because it was impossible to completely eliminate them; these Chaos Great Sages had numerous means to protect their lives. Even if they died in this universe, they would resurrect in other hidden places.
They might not even need to resurrect.
"Leave this universe immediately?"
The Obsidian Great Sage, who could only maintain his Obsidian Domain for a few thousand miles around him, looked at Lin Yuan with a grim expression, "Not just leave this palace, but the entire universe?"
Given Lin Yuan’s current burst of power, the Obsidian Great Sage no longer planned to resist. If possible, he would leave the dark palace and search for treasures and opportunities in other areas.
Since this universe could nurture a World-Transcending Great Sage-level treasure, it could nurture a second or third one.
Even if they couldn’t obtain a World-Transcending Great Sage-level treasure, they should at least obtain a Chaos Great Sage-level one; otherwise, it would be a wasted trip.
The Obsidian Great Sage had also paid a significant price to reach this universe in the shortest time possible.
"Isn’t your ambition too great? Not being a World-Transcending Great Sage, yet wanting to do what only they can do?" the Dual Source Great Sage also stared at Lin Yuan.
The spatial domain centered around Lin Yuan indeed exerted immense pressure, far exceeding the Obsidian Great Sage’s Obsidian Domain.
If it were just the Dual Source Great Sage, he wouldn’t have said anything, as he indeed lacked the means to resist the surrounding spatial pressure.
But now, apart from the Dual Source Great Sage, there were eight other Chaos Great Sages, two of whom were formidable.
If the nine Chaos Great Sages joined forces, they might not defeat Lin Yuan, but they could certainly put up a fight.
At worst, even if they lost, the Dual Source Great Sage was confident he could escape.
No matter how strong Lin Yuan was, he ultimately wasn’t a World-Transcending Great Sage.
"You’re right."
The Wild Chaos Great Sage glanced at the Dual Source Great Sage and the Obsidian Great Sage, also staring at Lin Yuan, "I can let you have this dark palace, but asking us to leave the universe immediately is too much."
The Wild Chaos Great Sage had been severely injured by the Eye of Ten Thousand Laws and was now feeling the pain, unwilling to give up.
The Tianlu Great Sage, the Nine Phoenix Great Sage, and other ordinary Great Sages hesitated. Unlike the Dual Source Great Sage and the Wild Chaos Great Sage, they genuinely felt the risk of falling under the pressure of the surrounding space.
The three formidable Great Sages dared to speak like this because they were confident in their survival, but what about the other six?
While their current physical destruction wouldn’t mean total death, re-attaining peak strength through life-saving means would come at a significant cost.
"Only by joining forces can we protect ourselves." The Dual Source Great Sage immediately transmitted a message to the six Chaos Great Sages.
Although these six Chaos Great Sages were weaker than them, they could still divert some of Lin Yuan’s attention during a battle.
Thus, the pressure on the three mighty Great Sages would be significantly lighter.
"If we retreat, it would be the same as abandoning this universe. I can reveal a piece of intelligence to you: the creator of this universe is an almost invincible Great Sage, whose power is beyond imagination."
"The treasures and rarities left behind in his universe are just the beginning. Are you willing to give up so easily?"
To get the six Chaos Great sages on his side, the Dual-Source Great Sage was willing to share the intelligence he possessed.
"An almost invincible Great Sage?"
Heaven's Favor Great Sage's pupils narrowed slightly. He knew the significance of an invincible Great Sage—only one could exist in the entire boundless chaos, and in fact, most eras didn't even have one.
What kind of existence was an almost invincible Great Sage? To make others acknowledge and truly respect him, his power had to be absolutely overwhelming, making other Great Sages feel a sense of despair and inability to compete, leading to the recognition of a universally acknowledged invincible Great Sage.
Invincible Great Sages were exceedingly rare, and even almost invincible Great Sages were not common. At the very least, their power had to surpass that of other Great Sages of the same level.
Originally, Heaven's Favor Great Sage and the other Chaos great sages thought that the creator of this universe was just a normal Great Sage. But an almost invincible Great Sage?
Nine-Phoenix Great Sage and Shadow Demon Great Sage, among the other Chaos great sages, also changed their minds.
A universe created by an almost invincible Great Sage might only appear once in millions of cosmic eras.
For these newly ascended Great Sages, encountering such a universe was an extremely rare and precious opportunity. If they gave up this time, they might never have this chance again.
With this thought, Heaven's Favor Great Sage and the other Chaos great sages made their decision.
First, the value of this universe exceeded their expectations.
Second, since the Dual-Source Great Sage dared to involve them in the conflict against Lin Yuan, he must have had some confidence.
If he didn’t have a solid reason, the Dual-Source Great Sage wouldn’t have done this.
In just a moment, the eyes of the six Chaos great sages became resolute.
They didn’t believe that nine Chaos great sages working together couldn’t contend with Lin Yuan.
"What’s happening?"
Chaos Venerables, attracted by the spatial fluctuations, rushed over. Even before they got close, they saw the distant space-time as if it had been torn apart, with the Dual-Source Great Sage, Black Obsidian Great Sage, and the others all trapped inside.
"Are the nine Great Sages starting to fight?"
"Tsk tsk, that kind of spatial confinement technique wasn’t used before."
"Indeed, that spatial fluctuation must be due to a great treasure appearing. These Great Sages are definitely going to fight over it."
The numerous Chaos Venerables watched from a distance. With nine Great Sages present, they had no interest in the great treasure, but they were curious which Great Sage would ultimately claim it.
"Looks like none of you are willing to back down."
Lin Yuan looked at the nine Chaos great sages and said with a smile, "If so, then stay."
Whoosh!
The space-time in all directions began to rapidly contract. The external universe formed by the 'World' technique theoretically could expand to trillions of light-years.
But that was the limit of the external universe. The smaller it became, the more concentrated its power, and the greater the pressure on the enemies.
"With such strength, may I ask your name?" The Dual-Source Great Sage transformed into a greenish-gray light, with the surrounding space-time constantly fragmenting and reassembling.
Upon hearing this, the other eight Great Sages immediately looked at Lin Yuan.
Although Lin Yuan was extremely overbearing, they had to admit that his strength was indeed formidable. Otherwise, the Dual-Source Great Sage and Black Obsidian Great Sage wouldn’t have been forced to unite to resist him.
"Name?" Lin Yuan smiled faintly. "My name is 'Galaxy.'"
Boom!
Vast space-time surged like a tidal wave, and the nine Chaos great sages felt like isolated boats in the ocean, at constant risk of capsizing under the relentless waves.
When he first emerged from the universe, to ensure his safe cultivation, Lin Yuan had to be low-profile. Otherwise, just the Ancient Venerable Ming alone would have been enough to threaten him and the human civilization.
But now?
Lin Yuan's combat power was nearly at the level of an invincible Chaos Great Sage, capable of traversing the chaotic void. At this point, there was no need to be low-profile anymore.
"Galaxy?"
"Galaxy Great Sage?"
The Dual-Source Great Sage furrowed his brow, thinking. He had never heard of this name before.
This left two possibilities.
One, Lin Yuan had made up a name on the spot.
Two, Lin Yuan came from an era far more ancient than he imagined, where not only his techniques but even his name had been eroded by the passage of time.
Doubly Originated Great Sage leaned more towards the latter.
With Lin Yuan’s strength, there was no need for deliberate lies. Such a powerful being would not stoop to lying.
Whoosh!
Just as Doubly Originated Great Sage was deep in thought, a surging expanse of space-time surged towards him.
“Doubly Origin Fusion, Tear Apart!”
Doubly Originated Great Sage, facing a formidable opponent, immediately used his strongest technique, the ultimate attack after fusing his paths.
This technique was extremely draining on Doubly Originated Great Sage’s essence, and he would not use it unless absolutely necessary. However, to counter Lin Yuan and remain in this universe, he held nothing back.
Shred.
Terrifying spatial rifts continuously tore open as Doubly Originated Great Sage ripped through layers of space-time, attempting to get closer to Lin Yuan.
Only by getting close to Lin Yuan could he pose a threat to him.
But a moment later, Doubly Originated Great Sage was horrified to find that after tearing through each layer of space-time, ten or a hundred layers would immediately replenish it.
This left Doubly Originated Great Sage with a sense of powerlessness, like an ant gazing at the sky. Though the distance to Lin Yuan seemed close, the intervening space-time was countless light-years.
“How is it that my fused power path cannot tear through the space-time to get close to him?” Doubly Originated Great Sage was utterly shocked.
To counter Lin Yuan, he needed to pose a real threat. Otherwise, what was the point of countering? What was the point of making Lin Yuan retreat? Allowing them to remain in this universe?
But now? Not only could Doubly Originated Great Sage not threaten Lin Yuan, he couldn’t even get close. How could they fight under these circumstances?
“I’ve fused the two power paths and unleashed my full strength, enough to easily tear apart the internal universe of a peak Chaotically evolved Great Sage. Yet, I can do nothing to this space-time. Just how powerful is the space-time condensed by this technique?”
Doubly Originated Great Sage tried a few more times, but the result was the same. His heart sank.
“Black Obsidian Void!”
Black Obsidian Great Sage’s aura surged, the endless darkness of his Black Obsidian Domain deepened, and he began to forcefully expand it under the spatial pressure.
The Black Obsidian Void was a technique where Black Obsidian Great Sage burned his essence to elevate his Black Obsidian Domain to its utmost, a technique he would only use in the direst of circumstances.
After all, burning his essence could bring a tremendous boost in power, but it was also extremely difficult to recover.
“Expand!”
Black Obsidian Great Sage channeled all his energy into the Black Obsidian Domain, burning his essence, and the domain’s power greatly increased. He preferred to call it the ‘Black Obsidian Void.’
But the surging space-time from all directions quickly compressed Black Obsidian Great Sage’s Black Obsidian Void. It expanded only a fraction before being forced back to its original size, and the spatial pressure continued to increase, causing it to rapidly shrink.
“My Black Obsidian Void...”
Black Obsidian Great Sage was utterly dismayed. This was the technique he used to counter Doubly Originated Great Sage, but under Lin Yuan’s condensed spatial pressure, it couldn’t even resist, let alone counter.
“Damn it!”
Ferocious Great Sage also wanted to attack Lin Yuan, but he was instantly bound by the omnipresent spatial restraints, feeling his strength rendered useless.
“Galactic Great Sage, if you have the skill, come and fight me in close combat.”
Ferocious Great Sage roared at Lin Yuan, close combat being his forte, as his path of chaotic evolution specialized in this aspect.
Ferocious Great sage had specifically cultivated some secret techniques to counter Great Sages skilled in domains, but these techniques were completely ineffective under Lin Yuan’s condensed spatial pressure.
“Close combat?”
Lin Yuan glanced at him, “You can’t even get close to me, and you want to fight me in close combat?”
The martial evolution path also excelled in close combat, but now that he could suppress his enemies with the external universe, Lin Yuan naturally had no interest in close combat.
“Condense.”
Lin Yuan looked at Ferocious Great Sage, and the surging space-time immediately bound him tightly.
“This—”
In the distance, Tianlu Great Sage had also intended to take advantage of the situation, not to threaten Lin Yuan but at least to draw his attention.
But when he saw Doubly Originated Great Sage, Black Obsidian Great Sage, and Ferocious Great Sage, three Great Sages, struggling under the surging spatial pressure, barely able to move and on the verge of collapse, Tianlu Great sage’s heart trembled.
Whoosh!
Tianlu Great Sage did not advance but retreated, fleeing madly in the direction away from Lin Yuan.
As for the alliance he had just agreed upon with Doubly Originated Great Sage to counter Lin Yuan?
Counter?
Counter your mother.
