Chapter 753: Tianyuan, Come Out and Face Your Death
Immortal Substance, also known as Longevity Substance, was a special type of matter that the Emperor-level powerhouses in this Source World greatly desired.
Besides enabling them to transform their bodies to the extreme, more importantly, it could prolong their lifespan.
It was said that in the distant past, when Immortal Substance was extremely rich, numerous Godless Sovereigns emerged, powerful enough to shake the Mortal Immortals.
Inside the Tianyuan Imperial Palace.
Lin Yuan sat cross-legged, his eyes filled with astonishment as he gazed at the tangible strand of Immortal Substance before him.
It took Lin Yuan more than a day's effort to condense this strand of Immortal Substance.
But it was still more than what the Tianyuan Emperor had accumulated in two million years.
The Immortal Substance condensed by generations of Emperors over several lifetimes was estimated to be less than this single strand before him.
In Lin Yuan's vision, the strand of Immortal Substance was composed of countless microscopic particles.
Each particle was woven from thirty-three fundamental units, forming a stable form.
Countless such microscopic particles constituted this strand of Immortal Substance.
"Astonishing."
Lin Yuan was amazed, deeply moved by this strand of Immortal Substance.
The thirty-three fundamental units were intertwined, creating an extremely stable balance.
"Absorbing Immortal Substance will transform one's body and soul's fundamental composition into this particle form, and I wonder how much stronger it will be compared to the original physique."
Lin Yuan pondered silently.
At the same time, numerous pieces of information flashed through his mind.
In the distant past, when Immortal Substance was abundant, Godless Sovereigns powerful enough to challenge the Mortal Immortals were born.
Mortal Immortals, the equivalent of Thirteenth Rank Time Beings.
Godless Sovereigns, however, remained at the Twelfth Rank.
How could a Twelfth Rank being challenge a Thirteenth Rank?
Lin Yuan couldn't fathom how other beings could achieve this, aside from himself.
But in this Source World, Lin Yuan saw a possibility.
It was the Immortal Substance.
As long as one absorbed and devoured enough Immortal Substance, even while remaining at the Twelfth Rank, their body and soul would transform towards the Time Being realm.
Finally, as long as their cultivated Dao or heritage reached the threshold, the scene of Godless Sovereigns challenging Mortal Immortals would indeed occur.
"This Source World?"
Lin Yuan's eyes lit up.
He realized the greatest value this Source World held for him.
Immortal Substance.
The essence of this special substance was truly extraordinary.
Moreover, it had almost no hidden dangers or side effects on the transformation of life.
Even without enduring the Time Loop, absorbing enough Immortal Substance could forcefully enhance one's body and soul to near the Time Being realm.
"If I lay the foundation of my body and soul with this Immortal Substance and then restore my strength to the Thirteenth Rank, what level of power will I attain?"
Lin Yuan's spirit soared.
At that time, his body and physique would be perfect and flawless. He would only need to comprehend the Chaos Taiji Origin Dao to step into the Thirteenth Rank Second Stage.
At the Thirteenth Rank Second Stage, with Lin Yuan's profound background and the basic particle form transformed by the Immortal Substance, he estimated that he could even match ordinary Time Lords in combat.
"Continue."
Lin Yuan's thoughts converged, and he allocated half of his mental power to continue condensing Immortal Substance from the heavens and earth.
The other half of his mental power began refining the newly condensed Immortal Substance.
As the Immortal Substance merged, Lin Yuan instantly felt his most basic particle form begin to change, transforming from the simplest single-particle form to the thirty-three fundamental units form.
Thirty-three fundamental units composed a particle, and this particle's stability far surpassed the previous ones.
"First, I'll explore the path of refining Immortal Substance with this body, and if there are truly no hidden dangers, I'll replicate it to my other three True Body Honored Ones."
Lin Yuan felt the surging energy within his body, while his mind quickly contemplated.
The transformation of the Immortal Substance on one's body and soul's fundamental particles was akin to forced guidance.
As long as Lin Yuan comprehended the underlying principles, he could replicate it to his other True Bodies even without the Immortal Substance's forced guidance.
Time passed.
In the blink of an eye, ten years had gone by.
Lin Yuan remained cross-legged in the Tianyuan Imperial Palace, almost indistinguishable from ten years ago.
However, fundamentally, Lin Yuan had undergone earth-shattering changes. Over the past ten years, he had continuously condensed strands of Immortal Substance, and under the baptism of a vast amount of Immortal Substance, one-tenth of Lin Yuan's body, physique, and soul had completely transformed into the Immortal Substance form.
"What is my strength now?"
Lin Yuan slowly stood up and began walking around the Imperial Palace.
This was Lin Yuan's first time taking the initiative to stand up in ten years.
"I feel that by transforming merely one-tenth of my physical body, my combat strength has entered the realm of Time Beings, surpassing even the rumored Godless Sovereign," Lin Yuan thought to himself.
The process of refining immortal substances was extremely rudimentary for past Emperors, even the strongest Godless Sovereign only managed a rough refinement.
But Lin Yuan, as a Time Being, inherently understood the intricacies of refinement.
Previous Emperors merely refined a little here and there, but Lin Yuan refined from the very foundation, bit by bit.
Thus, even with just one-tenth of his physical body transformed, he had already surpassed the Godless Sovereign.
"In fact, I am now no different from those Mortal Immortals," Lin Yuan thought to himself.
His physical body, soul, and consciousness had all transcended into the thirteenth rank, allowing him to freely observe the future timeline.
As for the Time Loop? It was a trial under the operation of the Supreme Rule.
One only needed to pass it once, and regardless of where they were in the universe, they wouldn't need to repeat it.
"There's also a vast room for improvement in terms of space."
Lin Yuan felt the transformation of his physical body by the immortal substance, and nine-tenths of the process was yet to be completed.
Moreover, the endless sand particle world within Lin Yuan was also limited to the particles in the one-tenth region that had completed the transformation.
"Boom—"
With a slight release of his aura, Lin Yuan caused the surrounding space-time to collapse, and the power of endless years flowed, causing even the origin rules of this Source World to retreat.
"Next, I'll continue to condense the immortal substance and, by the way, re-cultivate the Martial Dao Evolution Path."
Lin Yuan formulated his subsequent plan. At his current level, re-cultivating the Martial Dao Evolution Path was merely a thought away, and there was no period of weakness.
The reason for re-cultivating this path, apart from it being more suitable for evolution, was that Lin Yuan wanted to see what abilities this physical body would awaken.
Before descending into this Source World, Lin Yuan had observed numerous future timelines and finally chose the Tianyuan Emperor as his vessel.
Not only did the Tianyuan Emperor have the highest starting point, but he also possessed a unique physique.
The abilities nurtured by this physique would bring Lin Yuan surprises.
As for what these surprises were? In the future timelines, the abilities that would ultimately be nurtured had hundreds of possibilities.
And these were just from the timelines Lin Yuan could see; there were likely even more possibilities in the unseen timelines.
In most of these possibilities, the abilities that were ultimately nurtured were excellent and could provide significant assistance to Lin Yuan in his current stage.
"This weapon?"
Lin Yuan flipped his right hand, and a mirror appeared before him.
This mirror, named the Heavenly Origin Mirror, was an Imperial Armament forged by the Tianyuan Emperor with great effort. When fully restored, it could unleash the combat strength of an Emperor-level powerhouse.
Most Emperors would forge their own Imperial Armaments.
Firstly, because they could enhance their combat strength.
Secondly, even if the Emperor perished, the Imperial Armament could be passed down to their descendants, protecting their legacy.
Looking at the mirror, Lin Yuan thought of his own weapon, the Origin Bell.
It had hardly been of any use, and no matter how Lin Yuan tried to cultivate it, its growth rate couldn't keep up with his rapidly increasing strength.
"When I have time, I'll enhance the Origin Bell to the thirteenth rank," Lin Yuan thought to himself. With his strength and means, his most powerful offensive methods were his fists and feet.
As for weapons? Lin Yuan's most formidable weapon was himself.
However, it was undeniable that a suitable weapon could indeed enhance his combat strength and survival abilities.
Especially Lin Yuan's Origin Bell, which was best at defense, if it could be enhanced to the thirteenth rank, it would also provide some useful assistance.
Inside the Heavenly Origin Imperial Palace.
Apart from the current Celestial Emperor, Lin Yuan, there were also some followers guarding the palace.
The Tianyuan Emperor, aware of his limited lifespan, had dismissed most of his followers.
But some remained, unwilling to leave, wanting to be buried with the Emperor in this Imperial Palace.
"Your Majesty, that's the Emperor's aura!"
As Lin Yuan walked through the palace, many followers seemed to sense something, their faces filled with excitement.
They hadn't felt the Emperor's aura in hundreds of years, and if it weren't for the fact that the Heavenly Dao hadn't shown any unusual signs, they would have thought that the Tianyuan Emperor had already passed away.
When an Emperor perishes, their Dao collapses, triggering a series of external reactions, known as Heavenly Phenomena.
This was the basis for determining whether an Emperor had truly fallen.
In the Vast Chaos Source World, various taboo beings from different races awaited this heavenly phenomenon, eager to be the first to claim the Tianyuan Emperor's flesh and origin.
"Emperor, has the Emperor lived a third life?"
One of his followers couldn't help but speculate.
"A third life?"
The other followers shook their heads slightly.
Although they too longed for the Tianyuan Emperor to live a third life, they knew that for an emperor-level powerhouse to live another life, they would have to break free from the shackles of their own lifespan.
Such a commotion would undoubtedly be significant. Millions of years ago, when the Tianyuan Emperor consumed the Immortal Elixir and lived a second life, the resulting upheaval was terrifying.
But now?
For hundreds of years, since the Tianyuan Emperor entered the depths of the Imperial Palace to seclude himself, there hadn't been any extraordinary phenomena.
Although the Tianyuan Emperor hadn't died, it was certain that he had no relation to living a third life.
The numerous followers were unaware that since Lin Yuan's arrival, he had already broken through the so-called lifetime limit.
In this Source World, for an Imperial-level powerhouse to achieve longevity, they must pass the temporal loop trial, only then could they maintain the eternity of their mind's will.
But Lin Yuan's mind will was that of a Time Life's mind will, and it had long been able to achieve eternity. Possessing the Tianyuan Emperor's flesh, it was only natural that he wouldn't be restricted by the lifespan limit.
"Emperor."
A few followers had eyes that subtly revealed a look of sorrow. After hundreds of years of seclusion without any aura being emitted, an aura was now emanating.
This small group of followers speculated if the Tianyuan Emperor had already reached the end of his lifespan. Was this aura a final burst of vitality before death?
Shadow Clan.
In the deepest part of their ancestral land, several barely surviving Supreme Elders of the Shadow Clan were growing impatient.
According to their speculation, the Tianyuan Emperor's lifespan should have reached its end ten years ago.
Yet, he had stubbornly endured until now, and there hadn't been any extraordinary phenomena of the Dao collapsing. In other words, was the Tianyuan Emperor still alive?
"That old fellow Tianyuan, could he really be living a third life?"
"Impossible. If he could live a third life, he would have done so long ago. Why wait until now?"
"It's probably just good luck, surviving for ten years. But I don't think he can hold on for much longer."
The Supreme Elders of the Shadow Clan quickly exchanged their thoughts.
"What should we do now?"
"Keep waiting?"
The Supreme Elders glanced at each other.
Since the Tianyuan Emperor had managed to endure ten years, it was possible he could survive another ten years or even a century.
Waiting indefinitely wasn't a viable option.
"Why don't we revive early and send that Tianyuan off on his final journey?"
One of the Supreme Elders spoke up, expressing his opinion.
They had all been immersed in the Netherworld, transforming their flesh into Netherworld bodies. Most of the time, they needed to remain asleep, staying awake to wait for the Tianyuan Emperor's passing would be challenging.
They could endure for ten or even a hundred years.
But for hundreds or thousands of years, it would be difficult.
"Forget it. Even if Tianyuan is still alive now, he must be nearing the end of his lifespan, and he won't be able to exert much strength. It won't be too dangerous for us to make our move."
The most ancient Supreme Elder of the Shadow Clan spoke slowly.
Whether it was an Emperor, Celestial Emperor, or a Supreme Elder, as they approached the end of their lifespan, their mind's will gradually collapsed and twisted. Even if their physical body remained unchanged, they couldn't exert much combat power.
"Then we'll make our move now."
The other Supreme Elders' voices were cold and cruel. Dividing the flesh of a dead emperor didn't seem as fulfilling as hunting down an elderly emperor.
Initially, they thought that the Tianyuan Emperor couldn't last for many years, which was why they were willing to wait.
But now it seemed that the Tianyuan Emperor could endure for ten years, which was beyond the patience of the Supreme Elders.
"Make your move."
The most ancient Supreme Elder nodded.
The next moment, in the deepest part of the Shadow Clan's ancestral land, several vast auras spread out, enveloping the location of the Tianyuan Imperial Palace.
When a Supreme Elder took action, even one barely surviving, the resulting phenomenon was extraordinary, immediately attracting the attention of numerous powerhouses.
The lords of the forbidden zones observed from afar, not immediately taking action. They wanted to use the Shadow Clan's Supreme Elders to test the Tianyuan Emperor's true state.
If it was all a bluff, they could still make their move later.
Outside the Tianyuan Imperial Palace.
Suddenly, the heavens darkened, and a terrifying pressure descended.
All the followers patrolling the Imperial Palace felt their scalps tingle. The pressure of a Supreme Elder was so intense that if it weren't for the formation and restrictions of the palace isolating it, they would have knelt down by now.
Even so.
All the followers were filled with fear and unease.
The sudden appearance of a Supreme Elder at this moment was definitely not a good sign.
"Tianyuan."
Just then, a deep and cold voice echoed in the ears of all the followers, sounding cruel and merciless, "Come out and accept your death!"
