Chapter 724
🕑 Added 2025-11-20 05:00:04 +0000 UTCThe Demon God didn’t care about what Lin Yuan said, but it instinctively sensed the abnormal change in Lin Yuan’s strength.
Just a few thousand years ago, it had battled Lin Yuan.
Back then, even if Lin Yuan wasn’t struggling, it certainly wasn’t easy for him to block its attacks.
But now?
A strike executed with full seriousness was brushed off like nothing?
Though the Demon God had no spiritual will, it possessed instinct—and that instinct now warned it that something was wrong.
“How is this possible?”
“That giant tail from the Demon God—it was pure power, and yet it was blocked this easily…”
Outside the source world, the thirteen Eternal Lords were also watching closely, their hearts filled with disbelief.
They acknowledged Lin Yuan’s strength, but the level of defense he was currently showing was simply terrifying. Among the Eternal Lords, only a few, those specialized in defense, could manage something like this.
“So this is Milky Way’s trump card—he must’ve cultivated some defensive inheritance or secret technique that lets him block the Demon God’s attacks so easily.”
The Lord of Black Void speculated, his expression thoughtful.
To withstand such a focused blow with ease essentially meant Lin Yuan stood in a naturally invincible position.
With defense like that, even standing still and letting the Demon God attack him probably wouldn’t do much. And even if it did break through, so what?
The strike’s power would be heavily diminished after piercing Lin Yuan’s defense, making it far less threatening.
Besides, based on their previous battle, Lin Yuan’s regenerative ability was monstrous. Back then, he’d taken a heavy hit from the Demon God—but recovered in an instant.
Terrifying recovery.
Now paired with terrifying defense—
It basically meant the Demon God couldn’t do anything to Lin Yuan.
“So that’s what’s going on.”
The Lord of Wu Shan suddenly understood, inwardly impressed. “He’s not even an Eternal Lord, yet his defense has reached this level. Just how did Milky Way train?”
“Anyone with a guaranteed future must be fundamentally different from the rest of us.”
The Lord Immeasurable smiled.
“My turn, then.”
Lin Yuan looked at the Demon God. He had intentionally taken its full-force strike to see whether his defense could be breached.
From the looks of it, he didn’t need to worry. Even if the Demon God gave everything it had, it would, at most, barely crack his defenses—
And that crack would be healed instantly by his Rebirth from a Drop of Blood divine power.
Whooosh—
Endless Chaos Tai Chi energy converged before Lin Yuan, forming a black-and-white yin-yang iron staff.
Gripping the staff, Lin Yuan swung it heavily toward the Demon God.
If this were a typical battle, Lin Yuan would’ve used the Chaos Tai Chi Diagram to suppress the Demon God, weakening it as much as possible.
But now he just wanted to test his true strength—where he stood compared to other time beings.
So he chose the most direct approach.
If the Chaos Tai Chi Sword represented ultimate lethality, capable of cutting through anything—
Then the Chaos Tai Chi Staff represented pure, absolute domination—its strength lying in overwhelming area destruction.
After each strike, everything in the area would be completely obliterated and collapse.
Boom—!
The staff, radiating boundless power, slammed into the Demon God’s body. Even as it resisted with all its might, the tiniest particles of its body were still being pulverized. The formless Tai Chi force surged in, clashing with the endless demonic energy inside, both sides dissolving into one another—causing the Demon God’s form to grow unstable.
Huff—!
The Demon God staggered back several steps, then inhaled sharply.
At once, the vast demonic energy across the source world was sucked into its body. With this support, its form stabilized again, and it expelled the invading Chaos Tai Chi force.
“Hm?” Lin Yuan noticed this behavior.
In truth, whether now or before, the Demon God was not in its strongest state.
Its strongest form would only be achieved after retrieving all the demonic energy spread across the world—only then, with all that power gathered, would it reach its true peak.
“I wonder what its strongest form is like…” Lin Yuan was curious. As the dark demon body of a time lord, even without a spiritual will, even using clumsy methods—it should still be stronger than an ordinary time being.
After all, the Lord of Heavenly Radiance’s Light Form was enough to tie down thirteen Eternal Lords.
Even if its dark form was weaker, it couldn’t be by much.
“Let’s continue.” Lin Yuan swung the Chaos Tai Chi Staff again at the Demon God.
Every strike looked simple—but it displayed supreme mastery over the Dao of space and time. With each swing, space-time was frozen, and the Demon God couldn’t even dodge—only take the hit.
Boom!
Boom!!
BOOM!!!
Each time Lin Yuan struck, the Demon God was forced back several steps. Even with the endless demonic energy of the source world supporting it, the Demon God was beginning to falter. Each blow dimmed its form further.
ROAR!!!
The Demon God let out a thunderous roar, and the surrounding demonic energy suddenly exploded, unleashing a terrifying shockwave that surged toward Lin Yuan.
“A new technique?”
Lin Yuan’s eyes lit up. This was something he hadn’t seen before—clearly a hidden move from the Demon God.
Unfortunately—
With the third-level Tao of Chaos Tai Chi, paired with the support of infinite particle worlds inside him, the Chaos Tai Chi Staff he conjured was pure, unreasonable dominance. The explosion of demonic energy couldn’t shake it at all.
He swung the Chaos Tai Chi Staff again, smashing it into the Demon God.
ROAR!!
The Demon God resisted fiercely, unleashing many previously unseen abilities—some of which were likely innate talents of the dark demon body.
But—
Against Lin Yuan’s staff strikes, all resistance was futile. At most, they could delay the inevitable. In the end, the Chaos Tai Chi Staff still swept through everything.
ROAR! ROAR! ROAR!!
The Demon God kept retreating under the onslaught. The Chaos Tai Chi Staff slammed down again and again, breaking apart its demonic body, tearing flesh from bone—but it also inhaled massive amounts of demonic energy to recover rapidly.
Hidden World.
The sect masters and many high elders all stared, eyes wide.
Their vision couldn’t compare to that of the Eternal Lords, so at the start of the fight, they didn’t see much difference. It seemed like a back-and-forth brawl, just like the last time.
But as time passed, and Lin Yuan’s relentless staff strikes forced the Demon God to keep retreating—with all of its counterattacks smashed aside—
Even an idiot could now see how the battle was going.
Lin Yuan was crushing the Demon God, without suspense—leaving it with no room to fight back.
“How is Lord Milky Way this strong?!”
“After thousands of years, there’s still no world-changing phenomenon—he hasn’t even become an Eternal Lord.”
“He’s not an Eternal Lord, but he’s crushing the Demon God?!”
The sect masters and high elders nearly thought they were hallucinating.
If not for the undeniable fluctuations of real demonic energy, and the Eternal Treasures confirming what they were seeing, they would never believe this.
Clearly, the Demon God couldn’t stand up to Lord Milky Way’s attacks. It was barely hanging on by inhaling demonic energy again and again—otherwise, it would've already fallen.
But how?
Wasn’t the Demon God supposed to rival the Eternal Lords?
Outside the source world, the Eternal Lords watching the battle also fell into silence.
At first, they thought Lin Yuan had made a breakthrough in defense—thus provoking the Demon God.
But now?
This wasn’t just a breakthrough in defense.
To suppress the Demon God so utterly, leaving it unable to fight back—this was an all-around breakthrough.
The thirteen Eternal Lords saw it clearly: every swing of Lin Yuan’s staff contained profound Dao laws. And that black-and-white yin-yang iron staff was itself a manifestation of some extreme and powerful law.
“This is terrifying… how could Milky Way’s strength increase this much? If I were in the Demon God’s place, I wouldn’t be able to resist either…”
“Same here.”
“Every strike from Milky Way suppresses all Dao of space-time. How do you fight back? With what?”
“With this level of power, Milky Way could end the demon scourge right now—the Demon God simply can’t withstand him.”
The Eternal Lords exchanged shocked looks.
Among the thirteen of them, fewer than six could confidently contend with Lin Yuan in his current state.
That might not sound too bad.
But—
Milky Way wasn’t even an Eternal Lord.
He was still, in essence, a Path-Clearing-level being.
A lifeform beneath the Eternal Lord level was displaying Eternal Lord power—and even suppressing ordinary Eternal Lords.
This… this…
None of them even knew how to describe Lin Yuan anymore.
They had spoken often with the Lord of Heavenly Radiance before—and from their chats, they’d heard about the strange and wondrous beings found in the mysterious dimensional gaps.
But even the most extraordinary beings paled in comparison to Lin Yuan now.
“Milky Way…”
The Lord Immeasurable looked at the image of Lin Yuan smashing the Demon God again and again, his expression complicated.
He could achieve the same outcome—but how many countless ages had it taken him to reach this point? And he had done it as an Eternal Lord.
Inside the source world.
Under Lin Yuan’s relentless attacks, the Demon God’s body suddenly exploded—dissolving into boundless demonic energy and merging back into the world.
“It fled?” Lin Yuan held the Chaos Tai Chi Staff, thoughtful.
Until the very end, the Demon God never revealed its strongest form—never absorbed all the demonic energy across the world to fight him at full strength.
Instead, it actively dispersed its form, returning to the formless demonic energy to avoid further confrontation.
“Forget it.”
Lin Yuan shook his head and didn’t pursue.
From this battle with the Demon God, he had already gauged the true extent of his power.
