Chapter 644
🕑 Added 2025-09-01 04:00:04 +0000 UTC"How do you use the golden mist?"
The surrounding Ultimate Heavenly Sovereigns immediately lit up with interest.
Ever since entering the treasure land, the Sovereigns had focused mainly on searching for core Sky Pillars.
But during this time, each of them had gathered some golden mist to varying degrees.
These golden mists were clearly rare treasures connected to the treasure land’s essence.
Being a newly born treasure land, the rare treasures it produced had never been seen in the Six Ancient Kingdoms before. No one knew their exact effects, so they could only explore through trial and error.
"Those golden mists..."
Lin Yuan was very curious as well. His external universe could examine every detail within a hundred billion miles, and he had collected quite a bit of golden mist by now.
"Golden mist contains the power of temporal origin. Whatever you do, don’t touch it with your soul or mind—otherwise, you may be forcibly pulled into a time cycle."
Red Flame Heavenly Sovereign warned sternly.
Ultimate Heavenly Sovereigns had fully perfected their realms. With a single thought, they could attempt to break through to Rank Thirteen, triggering the time cycle.
But they had been deliberately suppressing that impulse—avoiding the descent of the time cycle.
However, once someone used their soul or will to interact with the golden mist, even if they were suppressing the impulse, it would force them to attempt a breakthrough.
"Time cycle?"
Hong Lian and the others were visibly unsettled.
While most Ultimate Heavenly Sovereigns did plan to attempt the breakthrough to Rank Thirteen eventually, that was something to be done only when they had truly reached their limit.
As for now? Many of them still intended to wait.
"Being forced into the time cycle early?"
Lin Yuan, standing nearby, was stirred by this information.
The others were affected because their realms were already perfected.
But Lin Yuan?
His true realm was still at the Dominance stage—far from being ready to break through to Chaos, let alone approaching Rank Thirteen.
Even if he used his soul or mind to touch the golden mist, it likely wouldn’t trigger a time cycle—his realm simply wasn’t high enough.
"Still, good thing I didn’t try it earlier."
Lin Yuan thought to himself. Even if he didn’t need to worry about being pulled into a time cycle, who knew if there were other hidden dangers?
"As for how to use the golden mist, the best method discovered so far is to slowly absorb it through the physical body."
"The golden mist gradually transforms the body, creating a time-based physique."
Red Flame Heavenly Sovereign continued.
This conclusion had only been reached after repeated experiments by the Liyang Empire—and it had cost one Sovereign an early plunge into the time cycle.
"Absorb with the body, and it may become a time-based physique?"
After that—
Red Flame Heavenly Sovereign offered a few more cautions before falling silent.
"I’ll wait a bit longer before absorbing the golden mist."
Lin Yuan thought it over and decided not to start just yet.
He had the golden mist already. He could absorb it anytime. Better to wait and see what happens when others try first, then evaluate how best to proceed.
Also, from Red Flame's explanation, the golden mist could only be absorbed slowly by the body. But how much was needed to complete the transformation into that special physique? No one knew.
Chaos Void.
Ever since the Milky Way Great Saint had established his continent, experts from thousands, tens of thousands, and even hundreds of thousands of void regions nearby had begun arriving.
This was to be expected. A Chaos Great Saint’s fame would naturally attract many Chaos-stage Venerables—each with their own intentions.
Some came simply to witness the famed Chaos Great Saint.
Some hoped to follow him.
Others, knowing they couldn’t draw his attention, sought to network with the other Sovereigns gathering here.
"That’s the Chaos Continent founded by the Milky Way Great Saint."
In a silver spaceship, an elderly man with white hair and beard looked at the towering continent in the distance and spoke to the young men and women beside him.
"Milky Way Great Saint?"
The youths also looked toward the distant Milky Way Chaos Continent. "Master, what’s so special about this Milky Way Great Saint? Why move the whole sect here?"
This elderly man was a peak Chaos-stage Venerable. He had previously opened his own Chaos Continent and founded a sect.
He had followed several Chaos Great Saints in the past, but left each time. Now, however, he intended to permanently settle his entire sect on the Milky Way Chaos Continent.
"The Milky Way Great Saint isn’t just any Chaos Great Saint."
The old man smiled.
"In that postnatal universe, he completely crushed Heiyao and Savage Saints. Even if he isn’t at the level of a Supreme Saint, he’s not far off."
"Not far from a Supreme Saint?"
The young men and women were stunned. Even with the same intelligence, experts of different levels drew very different conclusions.
Clearly, the old man had gleaned the Milky Way Great Saint’s true potential from the available information.
In a far-off region of space-time—
Three silent figures stood, their mere presence forcing the nearby chaos laws and Great Dao to retreat.
"The Milky Way Great Saint, as the only one to leave the Mysterious Emperor Universe alive at the peak of the Chaos stage, may have gained some of the Mysterious Sovereign’s legacy."
The leading figure spoke.
All three were Supreme Saints—and exceedingly ancient ones. They knew of the Mysterious Sovereign’s existence.
The Mysterious Sovereign had torn himself from the time cycle, slain five other Supreme Saints, and left many others in a panic.
These were Supreme Saints.
Throughout the history of the Chaos Void, there had been occasional battles between Supreme Saints, resulting in the destruction of a battle body.
But such a fall usually didn’t mean death—the true body remained alive.
Completely killing a Supreme Saint—destroying all avatars and true bodies and erasing all life-saving methods—was almost impossible. Not even an Invincible Supreme Saint could do it.
"This Chaos Continent required at least ninth-level space-time comprehension to establish."
The Supreme Saint on the right spoke.
"Ninth-level space-time comprehension? Even if he isn’t a Supreme Saint, we wouldn’t be able to do anything to him."
He continued.
Very few Chaos Great Saints ever reached ninth-level space-time comprehension. They were rarer than Supreme Saints themselves.
Such a being, even if they couldn’t defeat a Supreme Saint, could always escape unscathed.
"Indeed."
The third Supreme Saint shook his head.
Originally, they had planned to find the Milky Way Great Saint and ask about what had happened in the Mysterious Emperor Universe.
But now—
There was no need.
If they couldn’t overpower him, even if they asked, they’d never hear the truth.
"Forget it."
"Better not make an enemy."
The lead Supreme Saint thought carefully and made his decision.
If the Milky Way Great Saint were just an ordinary Chaos Great Saint, they’d handle him however they pleased.
But now?
He had the power to stand against them. Until they knew whether he had inherited anything from the Mysterious Sovereign, they would not take risks.
If they were wrong, and he hadn’t gained much of anything, then they would have just created a new enemy.
Supreme Saints were always cautious when dealing with peers. Take Hun Xiao and Yu Lin, for example—they had waited until the Mysterious Sovereign attempted Rank Thirteen before retaliating against his lineage.
"Let’s go."
The three Supreme Saints gave the distant Chaos Continent one last glance before vanishing.
"They’ve left?"
Deep within the Milky Way Chaos Continent, Lin Yuan glanced toward the direction in which the three Supreme Saints had disappeared.
Those three only knew that Lin Yuan had reached ninth-level space-time comprehension—they didn’t know his current combat power. Even among Supreme Saints, he was one of the strongest.
With his perception, he had sensed them the moment they approached.
"My current strength has already been surpassed by my body in the Source World."
Lin Yuan thought silently. Ever since the Source World true body formed the Great Liyang Cycle, its combat power had surpassed that of the Chaos Void true body for the first time.
It couldn’t be helped. The Source World true body had inherited the complete legacy of the Liyang Ancestor—a Rank Thirteen time-lifeform—and merged it with the Rank Thirteen legacy of the Chaos Void.
Meanwhile, the Chaos Void true body couldn’t form the Liyang Seed and thus couldn’t gain the same boost.
"If I can complete the third layer of ‘Infinite Void,’ the gap between the two true bodies might be narrowed—or even erased."
Lin Yuan considered.
The Rank Thirteen legacy Infinite Void, once its third layer was mastered, would greatly enhance both true bodies.
But the Chaos Void true body would benefit even more.
Its internal universe had a deeper foundation than the Source World true body.
Universes with different starting points would receive different levels of enhancement from mastering the third layer of Infinite Void.
"Or I could simply break through to the Chaos stage."
The disparity in foundational strength meant that breaking through to Chaos would yield different levels of improvement.
Clearly, the Chaos Void true body would benefit more.
"Step by step. I still have a long way to go."
Compared to other Saints and Sovereigns who had reached their limits, Lin Yuan was still far from his own.
It wasn’t just Infinite Void or advancing to the Chaos stage. Developing the power of Chaos Tai Chi would also bring tremendous gains.
Moreover, the various supreme techniques passed down from the Liyang Ancestor—the Rank Thirteen legacies—had yet to be studied.
And so—
Time quietly passed.
A thousand years went by in the blink of an eye.
