Chapter 757: The First Approach to the Second Stage
Chapter 757: The First Approach to the Second Stage
"Entering the Immortal Path?"
The many figures in front of the Bronze Immortal Palace showed no signs of surprise.
In the late Primordial Era, three Immortal Emperors led numerous Immortal Kings and Mortal Immortals in breaking into the Immortal Path.
They intentionally left behind the Bronze Immortal Palace, not only to ensure the stability of the Vast Chaos Source World but also to guide new Mortal Immortals into the Immortal Path.
Connecting the world at the end of the Immortal Path with the Vast Chaos Source World was as difficult as ascending to the heavens, and each additional Mortal Immortal increased the chances of success.
Twenty thousand years ago, Lin Yuan had pushed through numerous Forbidden Zones, revealing his strength as a Godless Sovereign.
At that time, the figures in the Bronze Immortal Palace were still unsure if Lin Yuan had become a Mortal Immortal.
However, eight thousand years ago, Lin Yuan took the initiative to seek them out and almost broke through the Bronze Immortal Palace.
Undeniably proving that he had surpassed the level of Mortal Immortals.
The figures in the Bronze Immortal Palace then asked Lin Yuan if he had entered the Immortal Path.
The response was simply that there was no rush.
"The Immortal Path."
Lin Yuan's gaze turned distant as he looked into the depths of time and space.
Now that he had absorbed the Immortal Substance to its limits, there was little point in staying in the Vast Chaos Source World.
Instead, he could explore the Immortal Path that had attracted countless Mortal Immortals, Immortal Kings, and even Immortal Emperors.
The fact that so many Time Beings were drawn to it one after another indicated that the Immortal Path's value went far beyond just transforming the Vast Chaos Source World into an unprecedented cultivation sanctuary.
It undoubtedly held an irreplaceable role for Time Beings as well.
"Time lines related to the Immortal Path become obscure and distorted, making them difficult to observe."
Lin Yuan thought to himself, over the past twenty thousand years, he had tried to view the time lines related to the Immortal Path on more than one occasion.
The information he obtained was not comprehensive.
However, even with incomplete information, Lin Yuan's heart raced.
The world at the end of the Immortal Path was a significant opportunity for Time Lords.
"Lord Tianyuan, the Bronze Immortal Palace seals the entrance to the Immortal Path. To enter, one needs the power of a Mortal Immortal to break through," the leading figure in front of the Bronze Immortal Palace said in a low voice.
This was the prerequisite threshold for entering the Immortal Path.
Without the strength of a Mortal Immortal, even if one found the Bronze Immortal Palace and discovered the entrance to the Immortal Path, there was nothing they could do.
In fact, even if one was not a Mortal Immortal, entering the Immortal Path would not be of much help in connecting the world at the end of the Immortal Path.
"I know," Lin Yuan nodded.
He had already learned most of the information about entering the Immortal Path.
Before coming here, he had made extensive preparations in the Vast Chaos Source World, ensuring that the human race would not be besieged by other races in his absence.
Over the past twenty thousand years, with Lin Yuan's deliberate cultivation, the human race has not produced another Celestial Emperor, but there are many exceptional Quasi-Emperors comparable to Emperors."
Additionally, Lin Yuan had already eliminated many other races and Forbidden Zones several times, and those Supreme Monarchs who held grudges against the human race were all dead.
The human race's position in the Vast Chaos Source World was unshakable, and even with Lin Yuan's departure, there would not be much change.
In short, the current human race, even without Lin Yuan, could overlook the Vast Chaos Source World.
"Hmm."
The many figures in front of the Bronze Immortal Palace stepped aside.
A loud rumbling sound echoed as the Bronze Immortal Palace began to tremble and slowly moved in another direction.
In the place where the Bronze Immortal Palace originally stood, one could vaguely see a distorted void.
This was the entrance that connected to the Immortal Path.
In the late Primordial Era, the three Immortal Emperors observed the past and future.
It was here that they discovered traces of the Immortal Path, the very source of Immortal Substance in the world.
Before this, powerful beings like Immortal Emperors could draw upon Immortal Substance, but they could not pinpoint its origin.
Lin Yuan quietly gazed at the distorted void.
Then, he extended his hand.
And slapped forward.
The heavens roared, and the Dao twisted.
This casual slap from Lin Yuan, even with his restrained power, unleashed a might comparable to a peak Mortal Immortal, almost reaching the level of an Immortal King.
From where Lin Yuan stood, time and space rapidly annihilated, as if recreating the heavens and earth.
Lin Yuan's breaking of the Immortal Path's entrance was unconcealed, and the terrifying might rippled, quickly affecting the entire Vast Chaos Source World.
"This kind of might?"
In a hidden corner of the Vast Chaos Source World, a disheveled man suddenly looked up at the sky, "The Immortal Path, this is the aura of the Immortal Path being broken open. Is there another Mortal Immortal entering the Immortal Path?"
The disturbance caused by the breaking of the Immortal Path was felt more intensely by stronger beings, especially those at the Celestial Emperor level. They could sense the Immortal Substance, and naturally, they could also detect the fluctuations from its source.
"Who is it? Is it the Celestial Emperor Tianyuan?" the disheveled man wondered to himself. Twenty thousand years ago, Celestial Emperor Tianyuan dominated the current era, and he had once felt a faint aura of this contemporary Celestial Emperor from afar.
But he never expected that person to be a Mortal Immortal.
"A Mortal Immortal..."
The disheveled man sighed in his heart. The years he had experienced were immeasurable, dating back to the Primordial Era, yet he still hadn't grasped the opportunity to ascend to the Mortal Immortal level.
To become a Mortal Immortal, the greatest hurdle is breaking through the Time Loop.
The Godless Sovereigns absorb vast amounts of immortal substances, extending their lifespans immeasurably, living through one lifetime after another, all in preparation for breaking through the Time Loop.
"A Mortal Immortal has emerged in the Vast Chaos Source World?"
"It's the Tianyuan Emperor, he's breaking through the Immortal Path."
The various Supremes of the Vast Chaos Source World felt a profound sense of awe, sensing something extraordinary.
The living Supremes, who generally held no hostility towards humans and had all met Lin Yuan, immediately realized that the one breaking through the Immortal Path was indeed the Tianyuan Emperor.
"This is terrifying."
"Fortunately, I've never taken action against humans."
"Who would've thought that the Tianyuan Emperor would become a Mortal Immortal?"
The Supremes' thoughts were in turmoil, recalling how twenty thousand years ago, the Tianyuan Emperor had forcefully pushed through all obstacles. They had also judged him to be a Godless Sovereign.
As for Mortal Immortals?
Godless Sovereigns could match Mortal Immortals to a certain extent, but they were ultimately not Mortal Immortals.
Even if some Supremes speculated that the Tianyuan Emperor might have reached the level of a Mortal Immortal, it was just speculation, never confirmed.
Outside the Tianyuan Imperial Palace.
Dozens of figures trapped before the palace also sensed the terrifying fluctuations emanating from the breakthrough of the Immortal Path.
"Has the Tianyuan Emperor already become a Mortal Immortal?"
The black-haired youth felt a profound sense of awe, having just experienced his inability to take even the first step of the thirty-three steps outside the Imperial Palace.
Now, discovering that the Tianyuan Emperor, whom he regarded as his goal, had surpassed the Emperor's Domain, caused the youth's heart, which had barely calmed down, to stir once more.
Not only the black-haired youth but also the other dozens of figures on the field felt a similar sensation.
These figures were Quasi-Emperors born in the past twenty thousand years, either with unique physiques or powerful bloodlines, capable of rivaling ordinary Supremes.
To them, the Emperor Realm was something they could aspire to reach, a goal within their grasp.
But a Mortal Immortal?
Countless Emperors had emerged throughout history, but how many had ultimately become Mortal Immortals?
Lin Yuan retracted his right hand, gazing at the distorted void that had been completely torn apart.
An irregular void passage appeared, connecting to a mysterious spacetime, the very entrance to the Immortal Path.
"I'll go in first."
Lin Yuan looked at the entrance to the Immortal Path, scanned the numerous figures before the Bronze Immortal Palace, and took a step forward, disappearing from sight.
"Has Lord Tianyuan entered?"
The Bronze Immortal Palace slowly returned to its original position, and the figures standing outside the palace felt a sense of awe.
In the twenty thousand years since the Tianyuan Emperor revealed his true strength, he had left an indelible impression on the hearts of these figures.
Inside the entrance to the Immortal Path.
An intangible aura permeated the area, and any trace of it was enough to severely injure or even annihilate an Emperor-level powerhouse.
"Is this the Immortal Path?"
Lin Yuan observed his surroundings. Where he stood, the spacetime in all directions was incredibly stable, and the approaching intangible aura became incredibly docile.
"The great destruction force of this Source World?"
Lin Yuan pondered, realizing that the intangible aura surrounding him was indeed the great destruction force.
This level of great destruction force typically only appeared in dimensional spaces on the verge of great destruction.
When the time of great destruction arrived, the sweeping force would annihilate all things and beings, and even Time Beings could only retreat from the dimensional space to avoid it.
If a Time Being were to forcibly remain in the dimensional space, they would not withstand the force and their physical body would collapse and be destroyed.
"This Source World hasn't reached great destruction, yet it's filled with such a powerful great destruction force?"
Lin Yuan's expression turned contemplative, wondering if this was the unique aspect of the Immortal Path's depths, the very goal that Time Beings sought to explore?
"Great Destruction Force"
Lin Yuan observed the strands of great destruction force.
Countless insights flashed through his mind.
[Your comprehension is heaven-defying. Observing the great destruction force enhances your understanding of the Chaos Origin Annihilation Dao.]
[Your comprehension is heaven-defying. Observing the great destruction force, you grasp the Chaos Origin Annihilation Dao.]
The Chaos Origin Annihilation Dao is one of the fundamental Origin Paths of the Endless Dimensional Realm, far surpassing the Chaos Origin Yang and Yin Daos.
This is an extreme, destructive Origin Path that influences the annihilation of dimensional spaces.
Lin Yuan had already accumulated profound knowledge about the Chaos Origin Annihilation Dao, and the inherent great destruction of the Chaos Void could be considered a prototype of dimensional space annihilation.
After transcending to the Thirteenth Rank and becoming a Time Being, Lin Yuan increasingly felt the vastness of the Chaos Origin Annihilation Dao.
Now, entering the Immortal Path and experiencing the great destruction force up close, his insights were triggered, leading to a qualitative change, and he grasped the Chaos Origin Annihilation Dao, as was only natural.
The Chaos Origin Annihilation Dao is an insight of the Thirteenth Rank's Second Stage, comparable to the Chaos Origin Tai Chi Dao.
Of course, the Chaos Origin Annihilation Dao is an Origin Path that inherently exists within the Endless Dimensional Realm, while the Chaos Origin Tai Chi Dao is an Origin Path that Lin Yuan opened up himself.
This is also the reason why Lin Yuan was the first to comprehend the Chaos Origin Annihilation Dao. With the complete Great Annihilation Power as a reference, it was naturally much easier than exploring in the dark and creating something from nothing like the Chaos Origin Tai Chi Dao.
But no matter how easy it was, it was still a Thirteenth Rank Second Stage method.
"I never expected that entering the Immortal Path would have this benefit."
A smile appeared on Lin Yuan's face. Undoubtedly, the Chaos Origin Annihilation Dao was a Thirteenth Rank Second Stage method.
After comprehending this Origin Path, Lin Yuan's strength increased once again.
"Is this considered my first Second Stage method?" Lin Yuan thought to himself.
Even before descending into this Source World, Lin Yuan was already capable of rivaling a Thirteenth Rank Second Stage Time Being.
However, this rivalry was entirely due to his profound foundation, far surpassing the accumulation of a First Stage.
As for his methods, they were still at the First Stage level.
"Let's continue."
Lin Yuan didn't linger and headed deeper into the Immortal Path.
The Immortal Kings and Mortal Immortals who entered the Immortal Path in ancient times should have already explored close to the end of the path by now.
This could be seen from the faint traces of their auras left behind; they belonged to Mortal Immortals and Immortal Kings from the distant past.
In the Immortal Path filled with Great Annihilation Power, ordinary Time Beings would inevitably be affected and need to constantly resist the Great Annihilation Power.
However, for Lin Yuan, who had already comprehended the Chaos Origin Annihilation Dao, the Great Annihilation Power was like water to a fish, not only causing no harm but also serving as a source of assistance.
At the end of the Immortal Path.
Here, a hazy world was filled with strands of Great Annihilation Power.
And in the distance, there was a completely new world condensed from an aura that opposed the Great Annihilation Power.
This world seemed illusory and was clearly not fully developed, but even so, the hints it revealed captivated the Mortal Immortals.
However.
The closer one approached this illusory world, the more they would encounter the sweeping Great Annihilation Power. Even Immortal Kings couldn't stay too close for an extended period.
"Marvelous!" A white-haired Immortal King was immersed in observing the illusory world, and beside him sat two figures, both of whom were powerful Immortal Kings.
"It's a pity that if we could enter that illusory world to contemplate, it would be of greater help to us." The Immortal King on the left spoke softly, his eyes filled with longing.
"Enter? Even an Immortal Emperor couldn't go in."
The Immortal King on the right shook his head. The illusory world was protected by the Vast Chaos Source World's Origin, and even an Immortal Emperor wouldn't dare to confront it directly.
"Hmm?" Just then, the white-haired Immortal King's expression changed as he looked towards the beginning of the Immortal Path, "A Mortal Immortal has entered."
Upon hearing this, the other two Immortal Kings also looked in that direction.
Having resided in the Immortal Path for countless years, they were intimately familiar with every change in its aura.
No detail could escape their notice.
"The Immortal Path is filled with the Great Annihilation Aura, and the new Mortal Immortal might not be able to adapt. Should we send someone to bring them over?" The Immortal King on the left suggested.
The new Mortal Immortal from the Vast Chaos Source World was like a junior to them, so the three Immortal Kings paid close attention.
"I'll go."
A Mortal Immortal stepped forward from a short distance away.
After residing in the Immortal Path for so many years, he had already comprehended a method to resist the Great Annihilation Power. Facing the endless Great Annihilation Power, he was much more composed than the new Mortal Immortal.
"Hmm."
The white-haired Immortal King in the middle was about to nod.
Suddenly, his expression changed.
His gaze fixed on the direction where the Immortal Path began.
The Immortal Kings on either side also noticed something.
Their expressions revealed disbelief.
"Immortal King, should I go now?"
The Mortal Immortal who had stepped forward was preparing to head towards the beginning of the Immortal Path.
"No need."
The white-haired Immortal King remained silent for a few breaths before shaking his head.
"No need?"
The Mortal Immortal was puzzled.
Was he not going to receive the new Mortal Immortal?
Was he going to let him endure the endless Great Annihilation Power and come here alone?
Could this be a test?
The Mortal Immortal's thoughts turned, considering this possibility.
"He's already here."
The white-haired Immortal King stood up, facing the direction where the Immortal Path began.
"Here?"
The Mortal Immortal who had stepped forward was astonished.
The next moment, under the watchful eyes of the Mortal Immortals and Immortal Kings.
At the beginning of the Immortal Path, shrouded in endless Great Annihilation Power, a figure approached. The Great Annihilation Power, capable of eroding a Mortal Immortal's physical body, gracefully intertwined and collided on the surface of this figure.
