Chapter 706: It’s My Turn
The Secret World
Several sect leaders and numerous high-ranking officials looked at Lin Yuan with a mix of surprise.
A way to deal with the Demon God?
The Demon God possesses the power of a Thirteenth-Rank Eternal Sovereign.
Only an Eternal Sovereign of the same rank can stand against the Demon God.
Even the current Secret World, which has resisted the Demon God's frenzied attacks, has only managed to do so by relying on the fallback plans left by the Eternal Sovereigns.
At its core, it is still the Eternal Sovereigns and the Demon God in a deadlock.
This resistance is not a true confrontation.
With the resources required to activate and maintain the Eternal Treasures, they can only delay the inevitable.
Once these resources are exhausted, the consequences are clear.
But Lin Yuan claims there is another way to deal with the Demon God?
"Lord Galaxy, please tell us what to do."
The sect leaders hesitated for only a moment before choosing to trust Lin Yuan.
Over the past ten thousand years, Lin Yuan's actions have earned their trust.
"Give me all the resources used to activate the Eternal Treasures," Lin Yuan said.
The infinite particle worlds he has created are now 99% complete.
The remaining 10% will be difficult to achieve in a short time.
After all, most of the 'demons' with any power in this source world have already been hunted down by Lin Yuan.
This is the key reason why the Demon God is so enraged.
As for absorbing and consuming demonic energy?
It's far too slow.
Moreover, with the Demon God already present, a single thought can control vast amounts of demonic energy, making it impossible for Lin Yuan to absorb and consume it.
Trapped in the Secret World, with the Demon God outside, even the worst-case scenario of taking several centuries to complete the final 10% seems unlikely.
Given Lin Yuan's strength, if he dares to leave the Secret World, he will immediately become the Demon God's primary target.
There will be no time to continue hunting other 'demons.'
After much consideration, Lin Yuan's only hope to fully open his infinite particle worlds is to use the last reserves of the major Eternal Sects.
Rather than consuming these resources to resist the Demon God's continuous attacks, it would be better to give them to Lin Yuan to complete his infinite particle worlds.
Once the particle worlds are fully developed, Lin Yuan's strength will surge, and he will have a good chance of standing against the Demon God.
This way, the Secret World can avoid being breached.
This is the best solution Lin Yuan can think of, benefiting both him and the major Eternal Sects.
Based on the Demon God's current offensive methods, Lin Yuan is confident that once his particle worlds are complete, he can stand against the Demon God.
"Lord Galaxy wants all the reserves?" The sect leader of the Eternity's Endlessness Sect was taken aback.
The other sect leaders also looked serious.
These reserves are their only hope of resisting the Demon God.
Although they will be exhausted in a million or ten million years, it buys enough time for the elites of the major Eternal Sects to evacuate.
Handing everything to Lin Yuan?
If Lin Yuan fails to stop the Demon God, the Secret World will be breached in an instant.
"Indeed."
Lin Yuan nodded.
In fact, besides the reserves of the Eternal Sects, there are other ways to complete the final 10%.
For example, using the Gate of Multiverse to transport resources.
Through the Gate of Multiverse, Lin Yuan could supply himself from start to finish in creating the infinite particle worlds.
The cost is too high, and Lin Yuan cannot bear it.
But just for the final 10%, he can grit his teeth and accept it.
However, involving boundary-breaking source power, it's best to save where possible.
"Lord Galaxy, are you confident?"
The sect leader of the Eternity's Endlessness Sect cautiously asked.
"I think there won't be any problems."
Lin Yuan glanced at the Demon God outside.
If the infinite particle worlds are fully developed, with the strength he will have, stopping the Demon God should be no issue.
The other sect leaders exchanged glances.
This Secret World is a creation of the Eternal Sovereigns.
Even with their power, they could not hold off the Demon God for a million or ten million years.
Yet Lin Yuan says there won't be any problems?
"Since that's the case, these six Eternal Founts will be given to Lord Galaxy."
The sect leader of the Eternity's Endlessness Sect's expression flickered, but he finally spoke solemnly.
The other sect leaders behind him hesitated but ultimately remained silent.
For the Eternal Sects, a million or ten million years is no different from ten or eight years.
Rather than watch the Secret World be destroyed by the Demon God, it's better to place their hopes on Lin Yuan.
After all, the current situation has surpassed the predictions of the Eternal Sovereigns before the great change.
No Eternal Sovereign foresaw the current state of affairs.
Thus, the sect leaders are also at a loss, unsure of how to proceed.
A mysterious Flux Ripple rippled through the Secret World.
Then, six Eternal Founts, resembling suns, emerged from the deepest part of the Secret World.
These six Eternal Founts have been sustaining multiple defensive Eternal Treasures, holding back the Demon God's repeated attacks.
Lin Yuan gazed at the six Eternal Sources, each radiating a powerful aura.
The Eternal Sources, condensed from the power of Eternal Sovereigns, were capable of fully unleashing the might of Eternal Treasures.
"I only need five."
Lin Yuan didn’t hesitate. With each attack from the fiend gods, the energy within the six Eternal Sources diminished.
Based on his estimates, four Eternal Sources would be enough to push him through the final tenth of his progress.
He requested an extra one to ensure absolute success.
"Very well."
The head of the Eternal Boundless Sect nodded. Since he intended to fully support Lin Yuan, he wouldn’t bat an eye even if Lin Yuan took all six Eternal Sources.
With a flick of his right hand, five of the six floating Eternal Sources vanished, absorbed into Lin Yuan’s body.
In an instant, the five Eternal Sources provided a sea of energy, allowing Lin Yuan to rapidly form new worlds within his body from the remaining particles.
Boom!
As the five Eternal Sources disappeared, the power of the Eternal Treasures defending the Hidden World plummeted.
Even with one Eternal Source still supplying energy, it couldn’t match the efficiency of six.
"Trouble."
The head of the Eternal Boundless Sect’s expression changed drastically. He hadn’t anticipated this.
He had assumed that the six Eternal Sources would sustain the Hidden World for millions or tens of millions of years. One Eternal Source alone could support it for several hundred thousand years.
But with the loss of the other five, maintaining the numerous Eternal Treasures with just one source would be extremely difficult.
"Hmm?"
Lin Yuan also noticed the change in the Eternal Treasures.
"Don’t worry."
Lin Yuan glanced at the sect leaders. Since he had taken five Eternal Sources, he wouldn’t leave them hanging.
Even with the remaining tenth of particles rapidly forming new worlds, it didn’t prevent him from taking action.
"I’ll handle it from here."
With a single step, Lin Yuan vanished from his spot.
Before the sect leaders and other high-ranking members could react, a towering figure appeared in the outer world.
Lin Yuan stood calmly beside the Hidden World, which, created by the Eternal Sovereigns, only reached his ankles.
An invisible field spread out, forming barriers that intercepted the fiend gods’ attacks.
"What?"
"Lord Galaxy has gone out?"
The sect leaders were bewildered. Lin Yuan had claimed to have a way to deal with the fiend gods, and his request for the Eternal Sources suggested he had obtained a powerful Eternal Treasure.
The sect leaders had assumed that the Eternal Sources were needed to activate this treasure, which was why they had placed their hopes on him.
A sufficiently powerful Eternal Treasure, with the support of the Eternal Sources, might have a slim chance of resisting the fiend gods.
But now, Lin Yuan was facing the fiend gods himself?
Though Lin Yuan’s figure was immense and his aura vast, the enemies were fiend gods, beings on par with Thirteenth Rank Eternal Sovereigns.
Hiss, hiss, hiss—black energy streams landed on the barrier Lin Yuan had formed.
This attack, driven by the fiend gods’ innate ability to erode with dark energy, was difficult for even defensive Eternal Treasures to withstand for long. Only the Black Void Sovereign’s method, using black hole vortices to devour and decompose, could counter it.
Thus, the barrier Lin Yuan had formed from his external universe began to disintegrate and erode, creating large holes.
However, the depth of Lin Yuan’s internal universe allowed him to instantly repair any damage.
This created a temporary balance between the black energy streams and Lin Yuan’s cosmic barrier.
Under the sky, the fiend god, which had been relentlessly attacking and expressing its primal fury, suddenly paused, its hollow eyes fixing on Lin Yuan.
Since the fiend disaster began, all Eternal Sovereigns had been trapped, making the fiend gods invincible in this world. Even the Hidden World, a last resort created by the combined efforts of the Eternal Sovereigns, was just a hard shell, passively enduring attacks.
But this towering figure was the first to withstand a single blow from the fiend god without retreating.
"What?"
"Lord Galaxy is holding them off?"
Inside the Hidden World, the sect leaders were shocked. They could see that Lin Yuan was blocking the black energy streams without the aid of any Eternal Treasure.
The cosmic barrier outside his body, which was quickly disintegrating and eroding, clearly wasn’t an Eternal Treasure. While black energy could corrode Eternal Treasures, their defenses could at least hold for a while.
To be corroded so quickly?
Only Lin Yuan could employ such means.
After being corroded, he quickly recovered, continuing to confront the black aura head-on.
"Lord Galaxy, you actually managed to withstand a direct blow from a Demon God?"
All the powerful beings in the Hidden World found it hard to believe.
A Demon God was on par with a Thirteenth Rank Eternal Lord.
If Lin Yuan could withstand a blow from a Demon God, did that mean he could withstand a blow from an Eternal Lord? And he wasn't even an Eternal Lord himself. How was this even possible?
"The power is immense; I had to use my full strength to block it." Lin Yuan's expression was slightly grave as he looked at the cosmic barrier around his body, which kept disintegrating and recovering.
Ever since he had restored his peak strength, he hadn't fully exerted himself in battle. The only time he did was in the trial space created by the Lord of Wu Mountain, where he unleashed a full-strength strike using the Chaos Taiji Dao.
But that was just one full-strength move, not a full-out fight. Now, Lin Yuan was using his full strength, even revealing his true form.
Compared to that time in the trial space, Lin Yuan's strength had grown exponentially.
"So, this is the Demon God's power?" Lin Yuan looked at the Demon God, trying to buy time.
Currently, five Eternal Sources were being refined, and at every moment, numerous particle worlds were being created. Lin Yuan's strength was rapidly increasing, and he naturally intended to drag the fight out until the creation of the particle worlds was complete.
Only then would his strength reach its peak, giving him the confidence to face the Demon God.
As for now?
From that one blow, Lin Yuan knew he wasn't the Demon God's match.
Of course, not being the Demon God's match didn't mean he couldn't defend himself. With his current means, if he focused on defense, the Demon God would find it difficult to harm him in the short term.
Boom!
The Demon God sized up Lin Yuan for a moment before a dark point condensed at the tip of his forehead.
It shot toward Lin Yuan.
"Hmm?" Lin Yuan frowned.
He wanted to buy time until he had completely created the particle worlds.
However, the Demon God wasn't a normal being; it only had instincts and wouldn't waste words with Lin Yuan.
The brief pause earlier was merely due to the Demon God's surprise at Lin Yuan's existence.
"Swish—"
The dark point penetrated the cosmic barrier and struck Lin Yuan.
Compared to the corrosive black aura, the dark point from the Demon God's horn was purely offensive.
The cosmic barrier didn't even get a chance to recover before it was pierced.
Lin Yuan took a few steps back, a wound appearing on his chest, but it was quickly healing.
Fleshly Divine Art—Dripping Blood Rebirth.
This life-saving technique hadn't been useful for a long time.
"Thank goodness I got an extra Eternal Source," Lin Yuan thought to himself as he blocked the Demon God's dark point.
That blow nearly pierced his flesh, necessitating the use of a recovery technique.
With the Eternal Source, the Dripping Blood Rebirth could continue indefinitely, unless Lin Yuan's entire body was instantaneously destroyed, he wouldn't die.
Lin Yuan looked at the Demon God again.
Boom!
The Demon God's black tail behind him twitched, like the collapse of heaven and earth, and swung toward Lin Yuan.
Earlier, in the Hidden World, the Demon God's tail had been the most powerful, causing the entire Hidden World to tremble slightly with each strike.
"Thud!" The immense force struck Lin Yuan's body.
Lin Yuan condensed his cosmic barrier to the highest defense, but even so, he could clearly feel the impact on his flesh. Cracks appeared on the surface of each particle world.
However, with the Dripping Blood Rebirth in action, all the cracks quickly healed and disappeared.
"Lord Galaxy..."
All the powerful beings in the Hidden World were immensely shocked.
If blocking one blow from the Demon God could be considered a fluke, then now, Lord Galaxy blocking three consecutive blows—blows that were meant to destroy the Hidden World—left the leaders of the sects in awe.
"Swish, swish, swish~"
"Boom, boom, boom!!"
"Thud, thud, thud!!!"
Next, the Demon God launched a new round of attacks, starting with the black aura, followed by the dark point, and finally the tail strike, all landing on Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan did his best to defend, trying to deflect the force, and adopted a purely defensive stance, resisting the Demon God's attacks one by one.
While attacking, the Demon God also looked down at Lin Yuan with a hint of interest in its hollow eyes.
Compared to the turtle-shell-like Hidden World, Lin Yuan was clearly more interesting. At least, when blocking his attacks, there was a varied feedback in terms of injury.
Time passed.
No one knew how long it had been.
Just as the Demon God's tail was about to strike Lin Yuan again,
A giant hand suddenly grabbed the Demon God's tail.
At the same time, Lin Yuan, who had been defending, slowly stood up.
"Are you done yet?"
Lin Yuan's giant hand tightened around the tail, easily suppressing the overwhelming resistance. His aura was completely different from before, as if countless infinite worlds were resonating in unison. Then, he pulled the tail backward with great force.
"It's my turn now!"
