Chapter 726
🕑 Added 2025-11-22 05:00:07 +0000 UTCUp to now, the Chaos Void had housed seven Thirteenth Rank Time Beings.
With this new one about to break through the Time Loop, that number would soon become eight.
“Come to think of it, the reason this Saint Rahu can break through the Time Loop… is actually because of me,” Lin Yuan thought to himself.
The being about to transcend the Time Loop at this very moment—was none other than Saint Rahu.
Some time ago, Lin Yuan had already sensed Rahu’s trend toward breaking through the Time Loop.
It was something only he could discern through the perception of his Lord’s Authority—no other Time Being could have done so.
And Rahu’s smooth breakthrough was directly tied to witnessing Lin Yuan’s terrifying power in action.
Because of that, Rahu had let go of his obsession with proving his “Invincible” title. His mind shifted; his obsession dissolved.
Of course, while obsession did influence one’s chance of breaking through the Time Loop, it wasn’t everything.
Ultimately, it depended on whether one could pass the final trial within the cycle.
The moment the Time Loop region began to tremble, the seven Time Beings within the Chaos Void all sensed it.
“A new Thirteenth Rank Time Being… has emerged in our Chaos Void?”
“Hahaha, what a good thing! I thought it would be Milky Way.”
Smiles appeared on their faces. Time Beings born in the same Chaos Void were destined to become natural allies once they entered the dimensional gaps after the Great Destruction.
The more of them there were, the better.
Mo Xu Jun and the other six had all left inheritances behind, hoping to nurture future Thirteenth Rank beings.
“The new Time Being’s name is Rahu? I’ve observed him before—his chance of breaking the Time Loop was very low. I didn’t expect him to actually succeed.”
Mo Xu Jun spoke with a sigh. He had scattered seven inheritances of his own, awakening every so often to check if any extraordinary Great Saints had arisen in the Chaos Void.
He had noticed Saint Rahu, but at that time, Rahu had shown nothing remarkable. His chances of becoming a Time Being had been slim.
In theory, every being had the potential to break the Time Loop. But since the Chaos Void’s birth, only seven—Mo Xu Jun and his peers—had truly succeeded.
“At this time, the birth of a new Thirteenth Rank will help us greatly in our coming struggle with the Taixu Dimension.”
A serpentine Time Being with a human face spoke up.
In the Celestial River Dimension, the Heart of Celestial River was about to be born. The Time Beings of the Taixu Dimension had long since arrived and now stood in a standoff against the seven Time Beings of the Chaos Void.
Both sides were watching future timelines, searching for even the smallest advantage to secure the Heart of Celestial River.
At such a moment, the birth of another Time Being in the Chaos Void, even a newly ascended one—would still help lessen the pressure.
After all, the nine Time Beings of the Taixu Dimension were not to be underestimated.
“Indeed.”
Mo Xu Jun nodded.
Originally, it was seven Time Beings from the Chaos Void versus nine from the Taixu Dimension.
Now it would be eight against nine, a smaller gap.
“One of the Taixu Time Beings needs the Heart of Celestial River to temper and repair his body. That’s the real reason they want it.”
Mo Xu Jun pondered silently.
Over the years, they had learned the truth:
The Heart of Celestial River wasn’t just a treasure that allowed one to sense the operation of the Celestial River Dimension’s Dao of Laws—it was also a rare artifact capable of refining the body itself.
It was particularly beneficial to Time Beings who followed the path of water.
One of the Taixu Time Beings had suffered an irreversible flaw in his physical cultivation and urgently needed the Heart of Celestial River to repair it. Hence, the conflict.
As the Time Loop rapidly collapsed, a figure stepped out from within.
“All things through the ages—seas change to mulberry fields, and in the end, all turns to emptiness.”
Rahu appeared at the highest point of the Chaos Void, overlooking the endless beings below. His expression showed rare delight.
“I, Rahu, have finally broken through the Time Loop.”
At that moment, Rahu’s heart was filled with emotion. Before his attempt to step into the Thirteenth Rank, he had held little hope.
How many Invincible Supreme Saints had there been since the beginning of time? Yet how many had become Time Beings?
Even with the strength of an Invincible Supreme Saint, he hadn’t swept through the Chaos Void as those legendary Saints once had. His chances of becoming a Time Being had seemed nonexistent.
But Rahu had reached his limit—he had mastered a Thirteenth Rank inheritance. The only path left was forward.
Whoosh—
As he broke through the Time Loop, his very essence began to transform. He inhaled, and at once, the entire Chaos Void quaked.
The Source of the Void opened wide, and boundless origin energy poured down upon Rahu.
Every time someone in the Chaos Void comprehended the Laws of Time and advanced in realm, it triggered a baptism of source energy.
From the Eleventh to the Twelfth Rank, and from the Twelfth to the Thirteenth—it was always the same.
Especially the latter, the transformation into a Time Being—half of the Chaos Void’s origin power would surge forth.
“What’s happening?”
“This phenomenon—it’s the sign of someone ascending to become a Thirteenth Rank Time Being!”
“To cause such a vast outpouring of source power—only a temporal ascension could do that!”
Countless Chaos Great Saints and Supreme Saints watched in awe.
If even one Invincible Supreme Saint was rare across ages, then a Time Being, was nearly unimaginable.
Since the birth of the Chaos Void, there had been tens of thousands of Invincible Supreme Saints.
But Time Beings?
Only seven.
Many Supreme Saints never saw even one Invincible Supreme Saint in their entire lives, let alone a Time Being.
“Who is it that has become a Time Being? The Milky Way Saint?”
Some Supreme Saints could not help but speculate.
After all, the Milky Way Saint was the current Invincible Supreme Saint—the one most likely to ascend.
“It’s not the Milky Way Saint. I share karmic ties with him, and I can tell—the one transforming right now is not Milky Way.”
One Supreme Saint spoke up. He had once visited the Milky Way Chaos Continent and met Lin Yuan personally, forming a karmic link. Through that bond, he could sense the truth.
“If not the Milky Way Saint, then perhaps some hidden ancient.”
“Most likely.”
“I wonder when the Milky Way Saint will ascend to the Thirteenth Rank.”
“Heh, even if he’s the strongest Invincible Supreme Saint in history, that doesn’t mean he can become a Time Being.”
“Exactly. The strongest Invincible Saint before him—did he become one?”
The Great Saints debated heatedly. Ever since Lin Yuan’s rise, his overwhelming presence had left them unable to breathe. Now that a new Time Being had appeared, they eagerly compared once again.
Wasn’t Milky Way supposed to be the strongest Invincible Supreme Saint in history?
Yet could he truly become a Time Being like this new one?
If not, then all that power was still fleeting—a being destined to sink eternally within the Time Loop.
“So this is what it means to be a Time Being…”
The newly ascended Rahu felt his power surge uncontrollably as torrents of source energy poured into him.
As his essence evolved, he lowered his gaze, faintly perceiving threads of time stretching outward before him.
“Still a little unfamiliar.”
Rahu found it difficult to clearly observe the timelines. He wasn’t surprised. A new Time Being, whose power hadn’t yet stabilized, could not immediately peer into the future.
It was like a newborn unable to walk or run—though such movement was instinctive, the strength to act still had to grow.
Rahu was the same. Observing timelines was an instinct of Time Beings, but even instincts required familiarity.
After a long while, the flow of source energy subsided.
Rahu didn’t immediately go into seclusion to digest it. Instead, his mind stirred, and he looked down toward the vast Chaos Void.
“Milky Way Saint…”
A thought arose within him—a strong desire to meet the Milky Way Saint.
Not out of malice or vengeance, but simple longing.
He knew clearly now—his smooth passage through the Time Loop had been due to Milky Way’s influence.
Had Milky Way not shattered his obsession with the “Invincible” title, he might never have endured the final trial within the Cycle.
If he hadn’t made it through, the longer he lingered, the lower his chances would’ve become.
“Now that I’m a Time Being, even a newly ascended one, I’ve no reason to fear a mere Twelfth Rank lifeform.”
Rahu felt confident. Even if his strength wasn’t yet stable, even if his control over timelines was clumsy, a Time Being was still a Time Being. Even a fraction of their power could crush an Invincible Supreme Saint. It was a difference in essence.
“There you are.”
Upon stepping into the Thirteenth Rank, Rahu’s comprehension of the Dao of Karma deepened. Using the karmic link between them, he quickly locked onto Milky Way’s position.
Of course, this was also because Lin Yuan had made no effort to conceal his karmic presence.
Whoosh—
In the next instant, Rahu vanished.
He appeared in a barren void.
“Milky Way.”
Rahu looked ahead.
Lin Yuan stood there with his hands behind his back, smiling faintly—as though he had long been waiting for him.
Rahu’s heart trembled. Confronting Lin Yuan directly, he could feel a vast, boundless power emanating from him—power even greater than his own as a Time Being.
He instinctively tried to peer into Lin Yuan’s future timeline—only to find not a blurred glimpse, but complete emptiness.
“Rahu, congratulations on becoming a Time Being.”
Lin Yuan smiled at him.
“You…”
For the first time, Rahu felt a trace of fear. He could tell Lin Yuan was not a Time Being, but how could someone not of time be this strong?
“There’s no need for comparison between us.”
Lin Yuan glanced at him.
“When you were not a Time Being, you saw me as the moon high above.
Now that you are one, you see me as the heavens themselves.”
