Chapter 656: The Demon Shadow and the End of Nine Phoenix
Chapter 656: The Demon Shadow and the End of Nine Phoenix
With Lin Yuan’s profound foundation, the transition from the Sovereign Realm to the Chaos Realm was a seamless and effortless process.
The reason for his delay until now was simply to maximize his growth in all aspects, ensuring that the leap to the Chaos Realm would yield the greatest possible enhancement.
"Let’s break through directly."
Without hesitation, Lin Yuan began the transformation and enhancement of his life essence at the peak of his current state.
Boom!
Lin Yuan’s mental willpower surged, as if breaking through a long-standing bottleneck—
His physical body and soul willpower began to rapidly ascend.
The miniature universe within him also underwent a swift transformation.
Everything within him was undergoing a significant enhancement.
In previous breakthroughs, such as when he mastered the third level of the Infinite Void and harnessed the power of chaos, his enhancements had been focused on specific aspects.
But now—
Lin Yuan was experiencing a comprehensive elevation.
This elevation was not just a step from the Sovereign Realm to the Chaos Realm, but a direct leap to the pinnacle of the Chaos Realm, bypassing the intermediate stages.
Lin Yuan had already harnessed the power of chaos, and his entrance into the Chaos Realm was at its peak, requiring no further refinement or cultivation.
Swish splash.
The miniature universe within him expanded boundlessly, its fundamental laws and space-time drawing closer to perfection, edging toward the realm of chaos.
The jade gourd trembled, and the red-clothed girl stood beside him, observing the transformation of his inner universe from a distance.
"Finally, I’ve crossed into the Chaos Realm."
The red-clothed girl let out a deep breath.
If Lin Yuan hadn’t made this leap, she would have doubted her own understanding.
Which Sovereign Realm powerhouse could punch through such a massive block of eternal essence metal and possess the might of an invincible great saint?
The red-clothed girl, who had watched Lin Yuan’s growth from the twelfth rank to this point, was acutely aware of his rapid advancement and his combat prowess at each level.
"To possess the might of an invincible great saint at the Sovereign Realm is one thing, but in the Chaos Realm, how much stronger would he be?"
Even the well-versed red-clothed girl couldn’t help but feel a sense of anticipation. In the realm of chaos, despite the lack of direct confrontation, there was a clear distinction of strength.
The other invincible great saints were a mystery to the red-clothed girl, but the inheritors of the Infinite Void cultivation. Normally, mastering the fifth level of the Infinite Void grants the might of an invincible great saint.
And mastering the sixth level, while still an invincible great saint, would undoubtedly be far stronger than the fifth.
"If nothing goes wrong, this should be the mightiest of the Infinite Void lineage, right?"
The red-clothed girl silently agreed, sensing that Lin Yuan’s inner universe had reached the level of the sixth layer of the Infinite Void.
In reality, Lin Yuan’s cultivation of the Infinite Void remained at the third level, with the fourth and fifth layers still ahead.
The potential for growth was immense.
"Those unformed special lands?"
The red-clothed girl’s gaze drifted to certain nodes within the inner universe, the roots of the special lands Lin Yuan had cultivated, now smaller versions of these special lands.
"Time beings often create these special lands, occasionally casting a glance over them, but not out of boredom."
The red-clothed girl silently pondered.
From the vantage point of the time being, the matters below the thirteenth rank were of little concern, even the leglegacy they left behind was of little importance, but they held a peculiar interest in the many special lands.
The red-clothed girl was certain, if any special land were to be utterly destroyed, it would surely draw the attention, if not the direct intervention, of the time being.
Deep within the galaxy of chaos.
Lin Yuan sat cross-legged, this breakthrough, unlike his previous ascension into the Sovereign Realm, was incredibly serene, causing almost no significant disturbance.
The transformation of his life essence and the enhancement in all aspects were completed silently.
"Is this the Chaos Realm?"
Lin Yuan opened his eyes, the chaos void in his vision had transformed once more. The essence of space-time and the operation of the great law were fully comprehended.
The elevation of his life essence made everything in his vision feel refreshed and renewed, as if he had ascended from a small hill to a peak ten thousand meters high, with a panoramic view of the lesser mountains.
"The chaos void."
Lin Yuan gazed at the vast world that nurtured countless lives. Even for the world’s greatest saints, the chaos void was boundless, vast beyond imagination, a lifetime of exploration would be insufficient.
But now, Lin Yuan could faintly sense the boundaries, though their exact location was still unknown, they undoubtedly existed.
"Too vast."
This was Lin Yuan’s first time experiencing the chaos void so clearly.
"Hmm?"
Lin Yuan’s gaze drifted to some nodes within the chaos void, where traces of other realms were faintly discernible.
"Those nodes, they are the special lands, right?"
Lin Yuan’s expression was contemplative. "The time beings deliberately created these special lands, occasionally casting a glance, to address the flaws and vulnerabilities of the chaos void."
Even the vast and chaotic void is not truly perfect; it still has some flaws. These flaws, though not fatal, the void, do exist. Over millions and billions of cosmic eras, the flaws of the chaotic void do not affect its operation. However, if the timeline is extended by trillions, the flaws accumulate, gradually growing larger and eventually pushing the entire chaotic void towards destruction.
Therefore, to maintain the eternal operation of the chaotic void, the Thirteenth-Stage Time Beings have taken action to create special realms, suppressing key nodes to eliminate hidden dangers. This not only benefits the chaotic void but also enhances the foundations of the Thirteenth-Stage Time Beings in certain aspects.
Lin Yuan thought to himself that even a supreme being, let alone an invincible Great Saint, cannot shake the special realms. Beings below the Thirteenth Stage, even if they wanted to destroy these realms, could not do so. However, with Lin Yuan’s terrifying strength and the activation of the Thirteenth-Stage Celestial Cauldron, the power unleashed was unimaginable, and the special realm was instantly destroyed.
But from this perspective, the Thirteenth Stage is not invincible either. At least, the future timelines they see are not comprehensive. If they truly foresaw all timelines, I would not have had the chance to destroy that special realm.
Lin Yuan’s thoughts spread. The Red-Clothed Child had him fuse with the source material, which was indeed correct.
"Let’s go for a stroll."
After carefully sensing his changes, Lin Yuan slowly rose.
Buzz!
In an instant, Lin Yuan left the Milky Void Continent, appearing thousands of void domains away.
Another step, and thousands of void domains were left behind.
Even a Chaotic Great Saint would need considerable time to traverse a void domain,, taking years, decades, or centuries.
Traversing thousands of void domains would take tens of thousands of years, if not more.
The speed of an absolute Great Saint was faster, but at most, it would only reduce the time by a few times.
But for Lin Yuan, each step covered thousands or tens of thousands of void domains, his speed was incomparably fast.
"Hm?"
After taking three or four steps, Lin Yuan suddenly stopped, looking in a certain direction.
At that position, Lin Yuan sensed two causal sources related to himself.
"Nine Phoenix, if you want to die, don’t drag me along."
In the fierce collision of black and red forces, the Shadow Demon Great Saint angrily looked at the entangled Nine Phoenix Great Saint.
Ever since the Milky Great Saint killed his and Nine Phoenix’s main battle body in the Primal Universe, the Shadow Demon GreatSaint realized the Milky Great Saint was very displeased with him.
To be precise, the Milky Great Saint was dissatisfied with both of them. Otherwise, why not accept the conditions proposed by the two Great Saints and directly strike?
Though he did not know the reason, offending a Milky Great Saint, the Shadow Demon Great Saint was naturally extremely fearful.
However, at that moment, the Nine Phoenix Great Saint continued to entangle him, even actively releasing her aura.
From that moment, the Shadow Demon Great Saint realized that the Nine Phoenix Great Saint was seeking death, wanting to attract the attention of the Milky Great Saint and thus be pursued.
Because of this, the ShadowDemon Great Saint chose to flee far from the Primal Universe, using the temporal vortexes of the Chaotic Void to briefly traverse vast void domains. Now, he was nearly a hundred thousand void domains away from the Primal Universe.
Only then did the Shadow Demon Great Saint feel a sense of security.
Even a Chaotic Great Saint, let alone an absolute Great Saint, would need a considerable amount of time to traverse a hundred thousand void domains.
"Nine Phoenix, I know you want to attract the Milky Great Saint, but it’s clear he hasn’t pursued you." The Shadow Demon Great Saint said.
"Whether the Milky Great Saint pursues or not, I will continue to entangle you." The Nine Phoenix Great Saint’s will was resolute.
Earlier, outside the Primal Universe, he saw the hope of reaching the Thirteenth Stage. The Nine Phoenix Great Saint then stopped fighting the Shadow Demon, for if he could reach the Thirteenth Stage, his brother, sister, and many clan members could be revived.
Killing the Shadow DemonGreatSaint would not revive his clan, but reaching the Thirteenth Stage could.
After weighing the options, the Nine Phoenix Great Saint prioritized the Primal Universe.
"Meaningless." The Shadow Demon Great Saint coldly looked at the Nine Phoenix Great Saint: "I am a Great Saint, and you are a Great Saint. What good does entangling me do? Even a Milky Great Saint, at most, can only kill my main battle body. To completely kill me is impossible."
Every Chaotic Great Saint secretly laid out countless contingencies. To thoroughly kill a Chaotic Great Saint, even an ordinary Invincible Great Saint could not do it.
The Shadow Demon Great Saint’s fear of the Milky Great Saint’s malice was entirely due to the concern of becoming a rat on the street.
The chaotic energy of the cosmos swirled around, and Lin Yuan appeared, his gaze deep and contemplative as he observed the struggle between the Shadow Demon Great Sage and the Nine Phoenix Great Sage.
"So, we meet again here?" Lin Yuan mused, his thoughts drifting.
After leaving the Xuanhuang Universe, Lin Yuan had encountered the Nine Phoenix Great Sage and the Shadow Demon Great Sage once more, their relentless pursuit and conflict continuing unabated.
At the time, Lin Yuan had harbored the intent to hunt them down, but ultimately decided against it. The Xuanhuang Universe had been a fruitful journey for him, culminating in the acquisition of the Celestial Void Cauldron, a thirteenth-rank weapon. However, he didn't want to escalate the situation further.
Moreover, even if he pursued and killed the Shadow Demon Great Sage and the Nine Phoenix Great Sage, they wouldn't truly die. They could still revive through their life-preserving techniques, making the effort somewhat futile.
So, Lin Yuan had let the matter rest at the time. But now, with his step into the chaotic realm, his strength still fell short of the half-step to the thirteenth rank, the Xuan Emperor. However, the Nine Phoenix Great Sage and the Shadow Demon Great Sage, while not absolute great sages, were newly ascended great sages. The Xuan Emperor, capable of completely slaying an absolute great sage, could attempt to thoroughly kill the Nine Phoenix Great Sage and the Shadow Demon Great Sage, these newly ascended great sages.
"Very well, let's settle this karmic debt then."
With a step, Lin Yuan vanished from the spot. The black and red energies collided, the surrounding space and time distorting, an overwhelming pressure collapsing upon them.
"Who is it?"
The Shadow Demon Great Sage's face was filled with panic, the pressure surpassing even the Galactic Great Sage's at the time. The Nine Phoenix Great Sage's expression was one of vigil, his gaze locking onto the point.
"The Galactic Great Sage?"
The Shadow Demon Great Sage felt suffocated, sensing no connection to the Galactic Great Sage's karmic threads.
"The Galactic Great Sage?"
Compared to the Shadow Demon Great Sage, the Nine Phoenix Great Sage was less terrified. At least in the hands of the Galactic Great Sage, neither she nor the Shadow Demon could escape.
"The Galactic Great Sage, I don't know when I offended you, but I'm willing to make amends, to pay any price to rectify my wrongs."
The Shadow Demon Great Sage immediately responded, though the destruction of this physical form wouldn't mean true death, the continuous struggle was meaningless, and the enmity with a being as powerful as the Galactic Great Sage made the Shadow Demon Great Sage feel cornered.
"Make amends?"
Lin Yuan looked at the Shadow Demon Great Sage, a faint smile playing on his lips. "No need."
In the next moment, the Shadow Demon Great Sage's vision began to blur, and in that instant, he sensed all the complete severance of all karmic connections, including those life-preserving techniques.
"Am I about to die completely?"
The Shadow Demon Great Sage's mind was suddenly filled with this thought, and he began to struggle, trying to break free a sliver of his will to 'reincarnate.' But in the heartbeat, his entire will shattered, and all his karmic connections, along with his physical form and soul, vanished.
"CompletelyLin Yuan nodded slightly, his full effort had locked onto the Shadow Demon Great Sage, severing all karmic connections and extinguishing them.
"Shadow Demon."
The Nine Phoenix Great Sage, standing beside, looked at her with a faint expression. The Shadow Demon Great Sage's demise didn't surprise her.
Given the Galactic Great Sage's display of power in the Xuanhuang Universe, the death of these two ordinary great sages was normal.
But what stunned the Nine Phoenix Great Sage was the complete absence of any karmic threads after the Shadow Demon Great Sage's death. As long as there was a karmic connection, she would have sensed it. Karmic threads could be obscured or blurred, but as long as they existed, they could be felt.
But now, the Nine Phoenix Great Sage could feel the Shadow Demon Great Sage's karmic threads had decisively vanished, leaving no trace.
There were only two possibilities.
One, the Shadow Demon Great Sage had fallen completely.
Two, the Shadow Demon Great Sage had abandoned everything to reincarnate.
"The Galactic Great Sage, the Shadow Demon..."
The Nine Phoenix Great Sage, without a hint of fear, turned to look at Lin Yuan.
"Dead, dead. Hahahaha, dead is good, dead is good!"
The Nine Phoenix Great Sage erupted into a maniacal laughter, a scene she had dreamed of now unfolding before her eyes.
"Thank you, Galactic Great Sage."
The Nine Phoenix Great Sage's expression gradually calmed, a hint of tranquility and relief in her eyes. "Now, the Galactic Great Sage need not intervene."
As she spoke, the Nine Phoenix Great Sage began to burn, her physical form, soul, and will all igniting.
Not only her true self, but everything connected to her karmic threads, including her life-preserving techniques, began to burn.
"Brother, Sister, I'm coming to join you."
In the flames of infinite life, the Nine Phoenix Great Sage walked the path of complete destruction.
