Chapter 680: The Great Demon's Assault
Chapter 680: The Great Demon's Assault
Lin Yuan held a position at the Azure Cloud Academy, primarily responsible for organizing ancient texts and jade slips. This position was typically reserved for the elders who had served the Holy Sect for many years and earned sufficient merit, but who now had physical ailments due to their age. Despite his youth, Lin Yuan had been affected by the corrupting Aura, a dark energy that can erode the mind, and with the sect leader’s approval, he smoothly secured his position.
In truth, Lin Yuan had already earned significant merit for the Holy Sect by informing his senior disciples about the impending demonic influence, which helped the sect avoid substantial losses. While restoring his strength, Lin Yuan focused on studying the physical body, as the body he had acquired in this world held immense potential, similar to the descendants of the thirteen Stages' direct lineage.
The potential of this body was unfathomable. In the first Origin World, the six ancient nations had the bloodlines of the six Ancestors, but this lineage was incredibly thin, almost nonexistent. However, in this Origin World, the potential of the physical body was terrifyingly high.
"Before the Great Change, the cultivation system of this Origin World was based on Runes. Runes were used to represent everything in the world, including the Great Laws and rules."
Lin Yuan observed the jade slips left behind before the Great Change, his expression deep in thought. The Great Laws and Rules were originally intangible, invisible and intangible to ordinary people. Even cultivators could only sense them. However, Runes were tangible, and through these tangible Runes, the intangible Great Laws and Rules were represented. Therefore, before the Great Change, the number of cultivators in this world was terrifyingly large.
The foundation of strong cultivators was vast, making the emergence of even stronger beings more likely. Before the Great Change, the Azure Cloud Holy Sect was a colossal power in this domain, guarded by three realms of Freedom cultivators.
Even the first Realm of Freedom, which was equivalent to the Great Chaotic Saints of the Chaotic Void, had been surpassed by the Great Change and subsequent demonic assaults. The strongest combatants of the Azure Cloud Holy Sect were now at the peak of the Sixth Realm of Immortality, which was also the peak of the Chaotic Realm.
With the protection of the Azure Cloud Holy Sect’s great defensive array, they could barely maintain the defensive strength of the three Realms of Freedom. This was the reason the Azure Cloud Holy Sect could still withstand the continuous demonic Assaults.
"After the Great Change, the corruptingaura spread, and the Great Laws and Rules became obscure. Even with the Rune inheritance, it was difficult to perfectly represent the vague Great Laws and Rules."
Lin Yuan sensed the deep and heavy aura of power permeating the world, his eyes suddenly brightening. "Runes?"
The threads of aura in Lin Yuan’s palm intertwined, and in an instant, the character 'Gold' formed.
This 'Gold' was the text of this world, fundamentally a Rune of Gold, perfectly representing all of the Rules of Gold.
"Wonderful, Wonderful, Wonderful!"
Lin Yuan’s spirit was invigorated. The Runes, essentially, were the Chaos Secret Patterns recorded in the treasuries of the six ancient nations of the first Origin World. These Chaos Secret Patterns were left behind by the Ancestors, and even Lin Yuan, below the Ancestors, found it difficult to replicate them.
However, the Rune inheritance of this world could imprint everything in the world, transforming the intangible into the tangible. This greatly reduced the difficulty of comprehension, making it infinitely useful.
"With Runes as the foundation, I now understand how to sustain the infinite Void World."
Lin Yuan’s thoughts raced. The true body of the first Origin World was attempting to emulate the Deep Dragon, creating vast worlds within each particle. The Deep Dragon, with a foundation and essence surpassing Lin Yuan, relied on a world of particles akin to infinite sand.
If Lin Yuan could successfully emulate this, creating a world of infinite sand particles, and then restructure it with the inheritance of the Infinite Void, his ultimate strength would be unimaginable.
At the very least, it would far surpass his current strength.
"That Deep Dragon could simultaneously maintain a world of infinite sand particles, relying on its innate talent as the first life to be born, a talent granted by the Origin World."
"But I lack such talent, so I can only rely on mental strength to maintain the creation of the Particle World. Mental strength is limited, while the world of infinite Sand particles is boundless."
Lin Yuan thought quickly, and the appearance of the Rune inheritance now gave him hope in maintaining a world of infinite Sand particles.
By imprinting the Runes of the Great Laws and Rules on the surface of each Particle World, he could stabilize the Particle World, ultimately deriving an infinite world of Sand particles.
"Currently, this method seems the simplest and most hopeful."
Lin Yuan mused to himself. The true body of the first Origin World had repeatedly deduced, but had not found a better method, either because it could not be sustained for long, or because the risks were too great.
Now, the runes of this world unexpectedly fit perfectly with Lin Yuan’s creation of his own particle universe.
"It’s not by chance. The Rune Inheritance naturally aligns with any cultivation system, reinforcing the Great Path rules and even nurturing the cultivator in return. It’s simply a perfect auxiliary technique."
Lin Yuan thought to himself.
"I’ll start by attempting to create a particle universe in this world."
Lin Yuan had made his decision. First, this physical body had enough potential to accommodate the creation of a particle universe.
Even if he failed midway, Lin Yuan had already set up revival methods, allowing him to start anew.
Furthermore, by creating a particle universe from the weakest to the Strongest, Lin Yuan could better understand the workings of each particle universe, greatly benefiting his True Body’s cultivation.
As for the current drastic changes in the world, with the pervasive demonic aura and the deteriorating cultivation environment, even with the Rune Inheritance, it was quite challenging to feel the Great Path rules. This was true for other strong Cultivators, but Lin Yuan, with his Heaven-defying Comprehension, could still smoothly cultivate the Rune Inheritance as long as the Great Path rules remained.
Even if the Great Path rules of this source world were completely suppressed by the demonic aura, Lin Yuan could still sense the Great Path rules from other dimensions. The demonic aura was limited to this source world, having a minimal impact on Lin Yuan.
"However, I wonder what kind of physical body prowess will ultimately be conceived with the potential of this source world’s body?"
Lin Yuan suddenly felt a sense of anticipation.
The first source world’s physical Body had low potential, and its Ancestral Bloodline concentration didn’t even come close to the Royal Lineage. The final height it reached was entirely due to Lin Yuan’s own cultivation.
But this source world? The physical Body Lin Yuan had descended into could be considered a direct descendant of a Thirteenth-Stage Time Life.
In the Six Ancient Kingdoms, this was undoubtedly the strongest bloodline, surpassing even the core royal lineages.
The current core Royal lineages of the Six Ancient Kingdoms were far from being direct descendants of the Ancestor, merely having a higher concentration of Ancestral bloodline.
True direct descendants of the Ancestor were extremely rare. At the Ancestor’s level, the restrictions on conceiving true direct descendants were too great.
While the Ancestor could easily have descendants, true direct descendants were much harder to come by.
Lin Yuan entered his second Year at the Azure Cloud Academy.
His physical body had been completely transformed onto the Martial Path, and he began to cultivate the fundamental power deep within his bloodline, starting to conceive new physical body prowess.
"At least it will take over ten thousand years to conceive."
Lin Yuan determined, based on the previous rules for conceiving physical body prowess.
The longer the conception time, the greater the Potential and power of the physical Body Prowess. For instance, the previous physical body prowess ‘Blazing Heaven’ took several thousand years to conceive.
And this physical body prowess, with a conception time directly exceeding ten thousand years?
Lin Yuan couldn’t help but feel anticipation.
"What exactly happened in this source World? What is the Great Change of the Heavens and Earth? And why did the physical bodies of all living Beings become so terrifying after the Great Change?" Lin Yuan’s mind was filled with questions.
To enhance the potential of his own physical body wasn’t difficult for Lin Yuan, but to simultaneously enhance the physical body potential of all Living Beings in a source world was as difficult as ascending to the heavens, even for a Thirteenth-Stage Time Life.
Especially, the increase in physical body potential before and after the Great Change was enormous.
"These thoughts are too far-reaching now."
Lin Yuan’s thoughts converged. With his current strength not yet fully restored, knowing the truth of this source world wouldn’t serve much purpose.
When he returned to his peak, many secrets would become clear even without asking.
Name: Chen Tong (Lin Yuan)
Identity: Master of the Gate of Myriad Worlds
Bound Talent: Heaven-defying Comprehension
Prowess: Bloodline Revival
Prowess: Blazing Heaven
Prowess: Conceiving (Ongoing)
Current Status: Consciousness Arrival
Remaining Residency Time: Unlimited
"Without time restrictions, I still have much time left."
Lin Yuan understood.
After crossing the Twelfth Stage, as long as the host didn’t completely die, he could essentially stay indefinitely.
Lin Yuan entered his Fourth Year at the Azure Cloud Academy.
The entire Azure Cloud Holy Mountain began to tremble slightly.
The Azure Cloud Holy Mountain, the seat of the Azure Cloud Holy Sect, had been refined by generations of the Holy Sect’s strong cultivators and was no longer a simple mountain but an incredibly powerful Holy Weapon.
"Great Demons, the Great Demons are attacking the mountain."
The countless disciples of the Azure Cloud Holy Sect trembled in their hearts. Demons were divided into four tiers: Demon Spirits, Great Demons, Source Demons, and Demon Gods.
The Demon Deity need not be considered; apart from showing traces at the beginning of the great cosmic change, they have not appeared since.
As for the Source Demons? They are extremely rare, and even if they do appear, they will be attracted by the major eternal sects.
The greatest threat to the Azure Cloud Holy Sect now is the Great Demons.
Even the Great Demons lack independent thought, akin to mindless undead, wandering between heaven and earth.
If a passing Great Demon happens to discover the Azure Cloud Holy Sect's anomaly, they will attempt an assault, known as the Great Demon Mountain Assault.
The Azure Cloud Holy Mountain is always shrouded by a Concealment Array, so a regular Demon cannot detect any anomalies. However, if a Great Demon is too close, they might notice something is amiss.
Of course, if the assault fails, the mindless Great Demon will retreat on its own, effectively preventing this Great Demon Mountain Assault.
During a Great Demon Mountain Assault, the Azure Cloud Holy Sect must not counterattack.
Otherwise, more Great Demons would be attracted, and even if the Azure Cloud Holy Sect is strong, they would be exhausted by the continuous assaults.
"Great Demon?"
Lin Yuan stands before the Azure Cloud Academy, gazing afar at the Azure Cloud Holy Mountain, where a towering figure stands.
This figure is enveloped in boundless demonic aura, which continuously converges and strikes the Azure Cloud Holy Mountain.
The Azure Cloud Holy Mountain trembles, shaken by the terrifying demonic aura collisions.
"This Great Demon, each attack reaches the peak of the Chaotic Realm and can emit boundless demonic aura. It is indeed hard to deal with."
Lin Yuan observes carefully. More importantly, the Great Demons are nearly indestructible, meaning that even if a peak Chaotic Realm expert intervenes, at most they can only suppress the Great Demon. To completely eliminate it is impossible.
In fact, not just Great Demons, any Demon is the same. Even if their demonic body is destroyed, the Demon itself will reemergeelsewhere.
TothoroughlyeliminateaDemon,onecanonlybecomeaDemononeself,then destroy the demon essence.
Since the great cosmic change, the reason for the emergence of those who have become Demons, besides the strength boost, is that only those who have become DemonscanthoroughlyeliminateaDemon.
Rumbling.
The Azure Cloud Holy Mountain sways.
In the Great Demon's vision, the AzureCloudMountainisjustanordinarygiantmountain. After attacking for a while with no other gains, this Great Demon shakes its head and strides away.
"The Great Demon has left?"
"We have resisted."
The numerous disciples of the Azure Cloud Holy Sect feel a slight relief.
EverytimeaGreatDemonassaultstheAzureCloudHolySect, it is a perilous situation. Any disciple, upon seeing the towering figure, feels an indescribable sense of oppression.
"Seems there is no intelligence."
Lin Yuan observes the Great Demon's departure, thinking to himself.
"If nothing goes wrong, the Azure Cloud HolySectcannotresistmanyGreatDemonassaults."
Lin Yuan thinks silently, despite not yet fully recovering his strength, his discernment remains. Lin Yuan can sense the 'weakness' the Azure Cloud Holy Mountain displays when resisting the Great Demon's attacks.
Elder Brother Li Qing's decision to become a Demon to try to save the Azure Cloud Holy Sect is not without reason. As the Elder Brother of the Holy Sect, Li Qing should be well aware of the current situation.
"The source of the great cosmic change is said to beinthe center of the world, where the demonic aura erupts. It is only temporarily restrained by those few eternal sects. The Great Demons the Azure Cloud Holy Sect faces are nothing compared to the center."
Lin Yuan thinks to himself.
"To thoroughly bring despair to a source world, it certainly isn't just a few Great Demons. Only a Demon Deity has the capability."
"I will continue my cultivation."
Lin Yuan returns to the Azure Cloud Academy, continuing to study the rune legacy and intends to merge with the Sand Particle World.
In recent years, besides recovering strength, Lin Yuan has invested all his remaining energy into this.
"Twelve particle worlds have been established now."
Lin Yuan closes his eyes, observing the twelve particles within his body, covered in complex runes,, containing vast worlds.
"Maintaining these twelve particle worlds does not require any effort from me. Using the rune legacy as a foundation to maintain the Sand Particle World is feasible."
Lin Yuan's spirit is slightly uplifted, then immediately thinks of the greatest challenge he faces.
"Great Demons."
