Chapter 646: The Threefold Realm Descends from the Heavens
Chapter 646: The Threefold Realm Descends from the Heavens
For a being of the Twelfth Tier, a thousand years was but a fleeting moment.
The Milky Chaos Continent had grown increasingly prosperous, and it was not uncommon for Great Saints to visit Lin Yuan and exchange insights on the chaotic paths they had cultivated. Lin Yuan held these exchanges in high regard, as they offered him a deeper understanding of the fundamental principles of the universe.
Deep within the Milky Chaos Continent, Lin Yuan sat cross-legged, his eyes closed. Threads of chaotic energy continuously formed intricate patterns before him, only to dissipate moments later. This cycle repeated endlessly, as if there were no end to it.
"Chaos rules."
Lin Yuan immersed himself in the chaotic energy, his mind focused on comprehending the intricate patterns. The chaotic patterns before him were the essence of the First World's ancient nation, the Thirteenth Ancestor, who had used supreme powers to condense the fundamental threads of chaos.
This was the core of what Lin Yuan sought to understand.
"Ah, so this is it."
After an indeterminate amount of time, Lin Yuan silently opened his eyes. The chaotic patterns before him became clear and complete.
If a Heavenly Venerable from the Ancient Sun Nation were to observe, they would find this chaotic pattern nearly identical to the twenty-eighth chaotic pattern of their lineage. The Thirteenth Ancestor of the Ancient Sun Nation had left behind eighty-one chaotic patterns, each representing a different realm of chaos. The first eight patterns represented the First Realm of Chaos, while the ninth to twenty-seventh patterns represented the Second Realm. The twenty-eighth pattern was the gateway to the Third Realm of Chaos.
By briefly manifesting the twenty-eighth pattern, Lin Yuan had fully transcended to the Third realm of chaos.
"Chaos evolves all things."
Lin Yuan's eyes sparkled with vigor. With his comprehension of chaos reaching the third realm, his understanding of the essence of all things became more profound.
"The fundamental structure of the chaotic void, the evolution of chaos, is like the turning of the cosmic page, every detail revealed."
"All things will return to chaos once more."
Lin Yuan's gaze was deep and contemplative as he looked into the vast chaotic void. At this moment, his realm seemed to elevate infinitely, as if he could see the countless universes within the chaotic void, each cycle of creation and destruction, until one day, the entire chaotic void would collapse and reform into chaos, just like the natural cycles of the universe.
"Not just the chaotic void, the Source World is the same."
Lin Yuan mused to himself, though he held no real concern. The cycles of creation and destruction for entities like the chaotic Void and the Source world were so long that even the lifetimes of World-Transcending Saints were but a grain of sand in the vast expanse of"Third realm of chaos rules."
A smile played across Lin Yuan's face. A thousand years of arduous cultivation had brought him closer to the third realm of chaos, just as he had anticipated.
The chaotic patterns had greatly aided his comprehension of the chaos rules, almost like a shortcut, no, more than a shortcut, it was a direct path.
This was the legacy of the Thirteenth Ancestor of the Six Ancient Nations, a nurturing of the lesser beings.
Even in the vast expanse of the chaotic void, where the birth of a World-Transcending Saint took tens of thousands or even millions of cosmic ages, the Six Ancient Nations had their own share of such beings. Even the Great Ancient Nation of the Subdued Heavens had more than one such being.
Like the Heavenly Venerable of the Subdued Heavens, who was a World-Transcending Saint in the chaotic void, and the Great Ancient Nation of the Subdued Heavens had more than one such powerhouse.
It wasn't that the life in the chaotic void was inferior to the source world, but the Thirteenth-tier beings of the two dimensions treated their lesser counterparts differently.
The Thirteenth Ancestors of the source world were deeply invested, almost to the point of breaking their hearts.
In the chaotic void, the Thirteenth-tier beings were more like wild spirits, left to their own devices. If the Thirteenth-tier beings of the chaotic void were to leave behind numerous legacies and opportunities like 'possession,' Lin Yuan believed the chaotic void would birth its own World-Transcending Saints.
"My strength."
Lin Yuan took a moment to carefully sense it.
Reaching the third realm of chaos rules had not drastically increased his direct power, but the indirect boost was immeasurable.
First, the evolution of the Chaos Taiji path was now evident. Lin Yuan could clearly feel the massive cosmic Egg within him, nearing the completion of the Chaos Taiji path. It was a matter of years, perhaps even less.
"Ten years."
Lin Yuan's spirit was invigorated. The Chaos Taiji path was the ultimate manifestation of his cultivation, the path he had chosen at the Second Tier.
The Dao Fruit did not disappoint Lin Yuan. While other Great Saints and Grand Respects only needed to reach the first level of the Chaos Realm to evolve the Chaos Force, Lin Yuan, with his Heaven-defying Comprehension, had to reach the peak of the second level of the Chaos Realm to begin the evolution.
For others, it would likely take reaching the third level of the Chaos Realm to start the evolution of the Chaos Force. This was not a good thing for the Great Saints, as the third level of the Chaos Realm was incredibly difficult to reach. Before evolving the Chaos Force, even the peak of the Venerable Realm was equivalent to the third level of the Chaos Realm.
Even in the six ancient kingdoms, where the rules of the universe were easier to comprehend, only the peak Celestial Venerables could reach the third level of the Chaos Realm.
Without the evolution of the Chaos Force, even the Grand Respects found the transition too challenging.
For Lin Yuan, the lack of the Chaos evolution was offset by his superior innate potential, bridging the gap between him and the other Great Saints and Celestial Venerables.
At the third level of the Chaos Realm, the evolution of the Taiji Dao of Chaos was significantly accelerated. This also had a profound impact on other aspects, such as the time it took to enter the Chaos Realm. Currently, Lin Yuan's breakthrough to the Chaos Realm was constrained by his physical body, soul, and inner universe, all of which were rapidly advancing.
Furthermore, the third layer of the Infinite Void cultivation method also provided assistance. With a higher understanding of the fundamental Chaos rules, his cultivation became easier and more efficient.
In the Source world, within the treasured land, Lin Yuan’s true self, the Venerable, had not searched for the core celestial pillars.
Over a thousand years, the peak Celestial Venerables of the six ancient kingdoms had been continuously searching. They had already refined and refined the core celestial pillars.
Currently, the rankings of the core celestial pillars refined by the ancient kingdoms were as follows:
- Da Fu Ancient Kingdom: 72 pillars
- Manru Ancient Kingdom: 54 Pillars
- Lie Yang Ancient Kingdom: 52 pillars
- Da Ling Ancient Kingdom: 45 pillars
- Lei Ting Ancient Kingdom: 38 pillars
- Xuan Yin Ancient Kingdom: 38 pillars
The ranking of the core celestial pillars, with Da Fu Ancient Kingdom at the undisputed top.
This was not unexpected by the many peak Celestial Venerables. When the Fu Xian Celestials of the Da Fu Ancient Kingdom made their move, the other ancient kingdoms’ peak Celestial Venerables would generally step back.
Even these peak Celestial Venerables carried the latent power of their respective ancient kingdoms, but they would not easily deploy it.
"This Manhuang Ancient Kingdom," Lin Yuan's expression was slightly surprised. The peak Celestials of the Manhuang Ancient Kingdom were fighting tooth and nail for the core celestial pillars, to the point where even the Chi Yan Celestial Venerable had yielded a few times.
The peak Celestials of the Manhuang Ancient Kingdom only stepped back when facing the Fu Xian Celestial Venerable.
Against the peak Celestials of the other ancient kingdoms, they were all ready to fight to the death.
“However, this first-class treasured land has more than three hundred core celestial pillars?”
Lin Yuan’s expression turned slightly serious. Based on the information he had gathered, the number of core celestial pillars in a first-class treasured land was usually between one hundred and two hundred.
More than three hundred? Very few known first-class treasured lands had over three hundred core celestial pillars at their peak, only six did.
“Three hundred core celestial pillars. This treasured land must also have a giant core celestial pillar fused with the fabric of space and time.”
Lin Yuan thought to himselfThisThis was a conclusion drawn from the six treasured lands where each had once revealed a giant core. A giant core was far superior to a regular one, with one equivalent to ten regular cores.
However, unlike regular cores, a giant core was deeply embedded in the treasured land, making it nearly undetectable. Only after refining all the cores would a giant core reveal itself, and the entire treasured land would be affected.
“A giant core is crucial, not just for its value equivalent to ten regular cores, but alsofor defending it would be much easier.”
Lin Yuan thought to himself. Each of the six ancient kingdoms held dozens of core celestial pillars, but only twelve peak Celestials. How could twelve peak celestials defend dozens of core celestial pillars?
A Celestial Venerable could instantly arrive at a refined core, but if multiple cores were under attack simultaneously, which one to choose?
A giant core, once refined, would be equivalent to defending ten regular cores.
Based on the experience from the previous six treasure lands, the giant treasure core could appear anywhere within the treasure land, whether in the central area or the peripheral regions.
Lin Yuan silently pondered this in his mind while carefully sensing the spatial fluctuations around him.
Once a giant core pillar emerges, the anomalies it causes cannot be concealed. As soon as they are detected, one can rush over immediately.
In the blazing sun kingdom, within the independent space.
"The first giant core pillar, there’s little chance I can refine it for our Blazing Sun Ancient Kingdom."
The Crimson Flame Exalted Heaven's tone was calm, "So there's no need to worry too much about it."
The other peak Exalted Heavens did not contradict him much upon hearing this.
First, the treasure land’s vastness means the giant core pillar could appear anywhere. Second, the Crimson Flame Exalted Heaven had already displayed his mastery over space and time. From one side of the treasure land to the other, he only needed a single breath.
In other words, as soon as the giant core pillar appeared, the Crimson Flame Exalted Heaven would only need a single breath to arrive.
Such terrifying speed was unmatched by any other peak Exalted Heavens, and with the Crimson Flame Exalted Heaven taking the lead in refining the first giant core pillar, the other ancient kingdoms had little chance.
"Our goal is the second and third giant core pillars."
The Crimson Flame Exalted Heaven said.
Normally, a treasure land that nurtures over three hundred core pillars would produce three giant core pillars.
The previous six treasure lands were like this, each having three giant treasure land core pillars.
With the Crimson Flame Exalted Heaven's strength, there was no issue in claiming the first giant core pillar. But to claim the second one? That would be difficult.
Once the Crimson Flame Exalted Heaven competed for the second giant core pillar, the first one he claimed would inevitably be attacked by other ancient kingdoms' peak Exalted Heavens.
"Understood."
Lin Yuan nodded.
So far, within this treasure land, the Crimson Flame Exalted Heaven remained uncontested as the strongest.
Not only in this treasure land, but throughout the history of the six ancient kingdoms, among the lives below the Ancestors, the Crimson Flame Exalted Heaven’s strength could be considered among the strongest.
Thus, the first giant corepillar was already tacitly given to the Crimson FlameExaltedHeaven by the Crimson Flame Exalted Heaven.
Within the treasure land, Lin Yuan casually practiced in a valley.
Since the Crimson Flame Exalted Heaven, as the leader of the Blazing Sun Ancient Kingdom’s treasure land campaign, had already given up on the first giant corepillar, Lin Yuan naturally followed suit.
Moreover, Lin Yuan found the Crimson Flame Exalted Heaven’s reasoning quite sound. There was no need to clash with the Crimson Flame Exalted Heaven to the death. With only half the time passed, it was not yet the most intense period of competition. There was still plenty of time to wait and observe.
Time slowly passed.
On one particular day, the space and time within the treasure land trembled slightly.
A strange fluctuation instantly swept across all directions.
"Is this the aura of a giant core pillar emerging?"
The peak Exalted Heavens were immediately alarmed. This fluctuation originated from the treasure land itself, not from the clash of powerful beings. Given the current situation, only the emergence of a giant core pillar could cause such a disturbance.
"Hmph!"
"The Blazing Sun Ancient Kingdom, Thunder Ancient Kingdom, and Profound Yin Ancient Kingdom have all given up on the first giant corepillar, but our Savage Ancient Kingdom will compete. How powerful is the Crimson Flame Exalted Heaven?"
A majestic figure flipped his hand, and a heart composed entirely of spatial power appeared before him. With each beat of this heart, threads of spatial power were stirred.
"Go."
This majestic figure spurred the spatial heart, tearing through layers of space and time, heading toward the location where the giant core pillar emerged.
"Giant corepillar? I won’t let it be just for the Crimson FlameExaltedHeaven."
The Spirit Prison Exalted Heaven’s gaze was deep at this moment, his eyes fully darkened, his aura becoming even more profound. The instant he sensed the strange fluctuation, his figure vanished.
At the same time,
The other peak Exalted Heavens also rushed toward the location of the giant corepillar. Even if they did not intend to compete, they were prepared to watch from afar, knowing the Crimson Flame Exalted Heaven would definitely make a move.
"This?"
Lin Yuan also sensed this strange fluctuation. Compared to the powerful beings of other ancient kingdoms,, the strange fluctuation, his perception was even stronger and clearer, this point, as if it were right before his eyes.
In fact, it was exactly so.
The current location of the giant corepillar’s emergence was right next to him, the distance between them no more than a few hundred meters, almost side by side.
