Chapter 636: Slash, Slash, Slash!
“I’m definitely interested,” Lin Yuan said.
Exploring and claiming new prime treasure lands, even the most prestigious ones, is a rare opportunity for any Sovereign. Among the six ancient nations, the total number of first-class treasure lands combined is only a few hundred. These hundreds of first-class treasure lands are the result of accumulation over countless years. An ordinary Sovereign might not even witness the birth of a first-class treasure land from birth to reaching the thirteenth rank.
“Hahaha.”
Emperor Lieryang of the Lieryang Ancient Nation smiled. As an emperor, he needed to balance various factions. But when it came to true benefits, he would always prioritize his own family first. That's why he was the first to meet Lin Yuan and suppress the waiting Sovereigns outside.
“However, while I have the authority to decide who represents the ancient nation in the competition, I still need to see some of your strength,” Emperor Lieryang said, looking at Lin Yuan. “Otherwise, other Sovereigns might not be convinced.”
“Of course.”
Lin Yuan nodded. Indeed, any Sovereign participating in the competition for a new treasure land would gain something. But the greatest rewards go to those who secure the treasure land. If a slot is forced in, leading to the failure in securing the treasure land and losing to other ancient nations, even the emperor might not be able to suppress the dissent. Factional disputes must come second to the interests of the ancient nation, which is the rule in the Lieryang Ancient Nation.
“Hmm?”
Emperor Lieryang looked at Lin Yuan, somewhat surprised. He could sense Lin Yuan’s confidence.
“Normally, a Sovereign participating in the competition for a treasure land should at least reach the threshold of an Apex Sovereign. Are you confident?” Emperor Lieryang’s tone was slightly more solemn.
Lin Yuan’s Ancestral Bloodline had been cultivated to an unprecedented level of Sovereign. According to the potential of the Ancestral Bloodline, if he reaches his peak, he will surpass even the Apex Sovereigns. But that’s contingent on reaching his peak. For example, the core members of the Great Sovereign tier, without reaching their peak, cannot be considered invincible.
“I’ll do my best,” Lin Yuan said.
The Apex Sovereigns of the six ancient nations are equivalent to the supreme great sages of the chaotic void. Before Lin Yuan’s comprehension of the laws of time and space broke through to the ninth realm, he could already slightly contend with these supreme great sages. After reaching the ninth realm in the comprehension of time and space, he continued to comprehend the thirteenth-rank Heaven Void Cauldron, as well as the source world’s comprehension of Lieryang and Xuan Yin. Lin Yuan’s true strength, compared to when he faced the supreme great sage Hunxiao, had grown by a significant margin.
“Do your best.”
Emperor Lieryang nodded. “I’ll let those Sovereigns in and announce that you’ve been included in the competition for the treasure land. If other Sovereigns have strong objections, I’ll select an Apex Sovereign to face you.”
“You just need to hold your ground for a bit, proving you have the strength of an Apex Sovereign, and there won’t be any problems.”
Emperor Lieryang looked at Lin Yuan.
“Understood.”
Lin Yuan nodded. In the Lieryang Ancient Nation, the imperial clan could certainly gain resource allocation, but the prerequisite is not being too weak; otherwise, it would be a waste of resources.
“Then I’ll let them in.”
Emperor Lieryang glanced outside the great hall.
Soon, a series of powerful auras entered, all being Sovereigns of the Lieryang Ancient Nation. Many had been in seclusion for years but now emerged due to the birth of a new first-class treasure land.
“Emperor.”
The Sovereigns bowed slightly in respect, their gazes inadvertently landing on Lin Yuan.
“Galaxy?”
“He’s the core member of the imperial clan who has cultivated the bloodline to the Sovereign level?”
“Emperor met him first, so I guess one of the twelve slots is already reserved for him.”
The Sovereigns stared at Lin Yuan, their thoughts fluctuating. There were only twelve slots for the competition for the treasure land, and Lin Yuan taking one meant one less for them.
“I’ll introduce him.” Emperor Lieryang smiled. “This is Galaxy, the first core member of the imperial clan to reach the Sovereign level in the Lieryang Ancient Nation.”
After introducing Lin Yuan, Emperor Lieryang began to introduce the other Sovereigns. In fact, there was no need for introductions; with their reputations, Lin Yuan could at least sense their auras and identify each Sovereign. At the moment, over thirty Sovereigns stood in the great hall, twenty of whom had the strength of Apex Sovereigns, and the remaining ten were also close to the level of Apex Sovereigns.
Of course, this didn’t mean that the Lieryang Ancient Nation had more Apex Sovereigns than ordinary Sovereigns, but rather that the Sovereigns present here were the most elite.
Lin Yuan nodded at each Sovereign in turn.
Among the Sovereigns, the three acknowledged strongest were Chiyang Sovereign, Hengyang Sovereign, and Guanglie Sovereign.
These three Heavenly Respects are all at the peak of their power, their evolved chaotic force paths being incomparably strong, their might shaking the six ancient kingdoms.
"Alright, I won’t waste words." The Emperor of the Leryang Ancient Kingdom looked at the numerous Heavenly Respects. "This time, with the appearance of the first-class treasure land, our Leryang Ancient Kingdom will have twelve participants in the competition. I don’t care about the other eleven spots, but the Galaxy must take one."
"Do any of you have objections?"
The Emperor of the Leryang Ancient Kingdom directly asked.
As soon as he spoke, the grand hall fell silent. The Heavenly Respects looked at each other, then they all turned to look at Chiyang Heavenly Respect, Hengyang Heavenly Respect, and Guanglie Heavenly Respect.
The Emperor’s request was not excessive; they originally thought he would arrange a few more imperial clans to participate.
Among the imperial clans, there were also Heavenly Respects, but here, the term Heavenly Respect referred to those who had comprehended the chaotic force path.
"Not good," Chiyang Heavenly Respect suddenly spoke up. "Galaxy’s potential is indeed worth cultivating," Chiyang Heavenly Respect glanced at Lin Yuan, "but to compete for the first-class treasure land, it relies on strength. Each Heavenly Respect participating in the competition must not be a liability."
"I can promise that if we secure this first-class treasure land, I will allocate additional treasures and rarities to Galaxy. However, to secure the treasure land, one must prove their worth with sufficient strength."
Chiyang Heavenly Respect finally looked at the Emperor of the Leryang Ancient Kingdom, "I hope the Emperor prioritizes the kingdom’s interests."
"Hmm."
The Emperor of the Leryang Ancient Kingdom nodded and immediately looked at Lin Yuan, "Galaxy, what do you think?"
If Lin Yuan had not been confident in his own strength just now, the Emperor of the Leryang Ancient Kingdom would have surely found numerous reasons to refuse Chiyang Heavenly Respect.
"Then let’s follow Chiyang Heavenly Respect’s suggestion."
Lin Yuan said.
As soon as he spoke, the Heavenly Respects in the grand hall were taken aback.
They were surprised by his easy agreement. Chiyang Heavenly Respect also glanced at Lin Yuan a few more times. He had thought the Emperor would find some excuse to brush him off.
He didn’t expect this much confidence from Galaxy Heavenly Respect.
Although Galaxy Heavenly Respect had previously left behind the extremely cold Heavenly Respect and the Beiyin Heavenly Respect, that was in the Black Jade Nest, where the kingdom’s teleportation array was right next to the battlefield.
Galaxy Heavenly Respect’s success in leaving those two Heavenly Respects was not just due to his strength but also due to the intimidation of the Leryang Ancient Kingdom’s Heavenly Respects.
If those two Heavenly Respects had no fear, they might not necessarily defeat Lin Yuan, but they could at least retreat unscathed.
"My requirements are not high. I just need Galaxy Heavenly Respect to hold his own against Honglian for a hundred breaths."
Chiyang Heavenly Respect said. To withstand a hundred breaths against Honglian, a seasoned peak Heavenly Respect, one would need the strength of a peak Heavenly Respect.
"Alright."
Lin Yuan nodded. He also wanted to gauge the strength of the Leryang Ancient Kingdom’s peak Heavenly Respects. Unlike the supreme sages of the chaotic void, peak Heavenly Respects’ chaotic force paths had all reached the third level.
"The sparring between Galaxy and Honglian will take place in the capital’s Heavenly Respect-level spacetime."
The Emperor of the Leryang Ancient Kingdom said. The so-called capital’s Heavenly Respect-level spacetime was a stable spacetime opened by the power of the Leryang capital, sufficient to withstand a battle at the Heavenly Respect level.
A sparring between peak Heavenly Respects, if unleashed, could devastate an entire domain, so to minimize the impact, it must take place in the corresponding spacetime. In a spacetime with extremely stable rules.
Suddenly, figures appeared, the Emperor of the Leryang Ancient Kingdom and the ancient Heavenly Respects.
Lin Yuan and Honglian Heavenly Respect stood in the center of the spacetime, facing each other from a distance.
"Honglian Heavenly Respect, the chaotic force path you have evolved is ‘Crimson Lotus Fire.’ This flame is extremely terrifying, almost able to bypass most defenses and directly incinerate the soul and flesh."
Lin Yuan’s mind flashed with information about Honglian Heavenly Respect. In a certain ancient kingdom battle, Honglian Heavenly Respect had incinerated six Heavenly Respects of the opposing kingdom into nothing, thus firmly establishing his reputation as a peak Heavenly Respect.
"Galaxy Heavenly Respect." Honglian Heavenly Respect looked at Lin Yuan from afar, "Concerning the competition for the first-class treasure land, I will not hold back."
If it were just an ordinary sparring, Honglian Heavenly Respect would definitely consider the imperial clan’s face, but this sparring was about securing the spot for the competition for the first-class treasure land.
"I won’t hold back either." Lin Yuan’s expression was equally serious.
"Alright." Honglian Heavenly Respect nodded, his mind slightly stirring, "Ignite."
Rustle.
A red flame resembling a lotus began to burn on Lin Yuan’s physical body. This flame, formless and intangible, was impossible to block.
Heaven Lotus Supreme calmly watched Lin Yuan.
With the power of the Crimson Lotus Inferno, ordinary Supreme Beings couldn’t withstand it for long.
"As long as Galaxy Supreme concedes, I will immediately withdraw the Crimson Lotus Inferno."
Heaven Lotus Supreme thought to himself that Lin Yuan wasn’t an enemy, so he naturally had no intention of seriously injuring him.
"Is this the Crimson Lotus Inferno?" Lin Yuan felt his physical body, soul, and the universe within him burning under the red lotus flames.
Lin Yuan hadn’t even noticed when the flames appeared. The space-time around him hadn’t sensed the burning; the flames had directly ignited on his physical body, soul, and the universe within him.
"Just like an itch." Lin Yuan thought to himself.
Though the Crimson Lotus Inferno was strange, to burn his physical body, soul, and the universe within him to the point of threatening his essence would likely take millions or even billions of years of continuous burning.
Lin Yuan’s foundation was too profound. Even if the Crimson Lotus Inferno burned within his universe, it posed no real threat to him.
The essence he lost to the burning was even restored faster.
"Indeed, the means of Heaven Lotus Supreme are extraordinary," Lin Yuan remarked with a slight admiration.
Although the power wasn’t great, the bizarre ability that appeared out of nowhere surprised Lin Yuan. If it had been a different method that could threaten him, it would have been a real problem.
"What?"
Heaven Lotus Supreme was taken aback when he saw Lin Yuan remain unaffected by the Crimson Lotus Inferno, calmly conversing with him.
Other Supreme Beings, when faced with the sudden appearance of the Crimson Lotus Inferno, either exerted their full strength to disperse it or began to retreat. But Lin Yuan just let the Crimson Lotus Inferno burn?
"Galaxy Supreme, you don’t care about the burning of the Crimson Lotus Inferno?"
The other Supreme Beings watching from afar all showed some changes in their expressions. Even the strongest of them—Crimson Blaze Supreme, Eternal Sun Supreme, and Fierceflame Supreme—faced with the bizarre Crimson Lotus Inferno, were quite troubled, expending considerable effort to dispel it.
But Lin Yuan?
He didn’t care at all about the burning of the Crimson Lotus Inferno.
"How deep must the foundation of this Galaxy Supreme be to remain unaffected by the Crimson Lotus Inferno?" Crimsonblaze Supreme thought to himself.
He originally had a rather low opinion of Lin Yuan. Even at the core of the Supreme Beings, he wouldn’t have been a match for them until he reached his limit.
"Heaven Lotus Supreme, it’s my turn."
Lin Yuan smiled slightly, raised his right hand, and with the power of space-time as a blade and the force of his inner universe as the source, he slashed at Heaven Lotus Supreme.
Lin Yuan’s comprehension of space-time had reached the Ninth Level. This level of comprehension, among the peak Supreme Beings, wasn’t overly outstanding, but the power of his inner universe made his attack’s power surge by an unknown multiple.
It was like two identical blades, made of the same material and equally sharp.
One was driven by a hundred pounds of force, while the other was driven by a hundred tons of force.
The power difference was naturally vast.
Lin Yuan was like this, with a profound foundation, making every move of his capable of achieving the effect of overwhelming power with skill.
"This?"
Heaven Lotus Supreme’s pupils contracted as Lin Yuan’s slash cut through layers of space-time, heading straight for him.
Slash!
Heaven Lotus Supreme couldn’t dodge in time, and his right hand was struck by Lin Yuan’s spatial blade.
Whoosh!
Heaven Lotus Supreme’s entire body turned into a series of Crimson Lotus Infernos, eventually reforming his shape. He looked down at his right hand, where a faint scar appeared, containing the overwhelming power of space-time, eroding his physical body and soul.
"This move, though not a chaotic evolutionary force, why is the power so great?" Heaven Lotus Supreme couldn’t believe it, just a regular application of space-time rules, yet the final power was beyond what he expected.
"Is it the ancestral bloodline of the Supreme Beings?"
Heaven Lotus Supreme looked at Lin Yuan with a grave expression. The same level of rule comprehension, but the power Lin Yuan unleashed far exceeded the former, which could only be achieved with the power of the ancestral bloodline of the Supreme Beings.
"Blocked?"
Lin Yuan looked at Heaven Lotus Supreme. "Indeed, not so easy to deal with."
"Fiery Sun."
Deep within Lin Yuan’s eyes, two fiery suns faintly appeared. His physical body transformed into a blazing sun, and the surrounding space-time distorted under its radiance, forming a world of the Fiery Sun.
"Slash, slash, slash!"
Lin Yuan activated his ‘World’ technique, and in an instant, he unleashed thirty-three slashes.
Whoosh!
Completely composed of the power of space-time, the three hundred and thirty spatial blades contained overwhelming power, slashing toward the distant Heaven Lotus Supreme, who was still suppressing the residual power of space-time within his right hand.
"This?"
Heaven Lotus Supreme was completely dumbfounded.
