Chapter 617

Lin Yuan frowned slightly upon hearing that.
It was entirely normal for the emergence of the Mysterious Emperor Universe to attract a large number of Chaos Venerables and even several Chaos Great Saints.
But Supreme Saints?
First of all, compared to Chaos Great Saints, Supreme Saints were far fewer in number.
Scattered across the Chaos Void, the probability of a Supreme Saint happening to be near a newly emerged postnatal universe was almost negligible.
Saints like Heiyao and Dual-Source had managed to rush over only because they happened to be within the ten thousand Void Domains around the emerging universe.
That was the only way they could afford the price of being teleported by the Eye of Ten Thousand Laws and the ancient altar spirit. Any farther, and the cost would have skyrocketed.
Within ten thousand Void Domains, there might be eight or nine Chaos Great Saints.
As for Supreme Saints, even within a hundred thousand or a million Void Domains, you’d rarely find even one.
Most Supreme Saints secluded themselves in mysterious, hidden places within the Chaos Void, rarely interacting with the outside world.
And for a Supreme Saint, they could create a postnatal universe on their own—unless they knew for certain that this universe was created by the Mysterious Sovereign.
Otherwise, they wouldn't bother showing up in person.
Yet according to the Eye of Ten Thousand Laws, two Supreme Saints were arriving outside the Mysterious Emperor Universe?
Two Supreme Saints?
At the same time?
"Don’t be surprised. These two have a grudge with that brat Mysterious Sovereign."
The Eye of Ten Thousand Laws shook his head slightly.
"When Mysterious Sovereign attempted to reach the thirteenth rank and it became clear after ten thousand cosmic eras that he wouldn’t succeed, it was these two who pushed for the decline of his lineage."
"So that’s how it is."
Lin Yuan understood.
Though he didn't know the full details of the Mysterious Sovereign’s dominance across the Chaos Void, it was obvious that he had been extremely overbearing.
Would someone who referred to himself as 'His Majesty' be anything but?
Naturally, being domineering meant making many enemies—enemies who didn’t dare act while he was alive, but who stirred trouble once he failed to break free of the time cycle.
The same thing likely happened to the Devil Jade Tower, which rapidly declined after its master attempted the thirteenth rank.
Of course, every Saint would arrange things for their subordinates before attempting the breakthrough, so rather than being destroyed, it's more accurate to say they chose to vanish into the flow of time.
"What do these two Supreme Saints intend to do? Wipe out the Mysterious Emperor Universe completely?" Lin Yuan asked.
"More or less," the Eye of Ten Thousand Laws nodded.
"I didn’t expect that even after over thirty million cosmic eras, Hun Xiao and Yu Lin still haven’t let go."
Supreme Saint Hun Xiao and Supreme Saint Yu Lin.
Those were the names of the two, long forgotten by history.
Only special beings like the Eye of Ten Thousand Laws, who had witnessed the past and present of the Chaos Void, would still know their identities.
"What should I do?"
Lin Yuan asked immediately.
Though he could suppress powerful Saints like Dual-Source and Heiyao, that didn’t mean he was equal to a Supreme Saint.
Lin Yuan’s ability to dominate was due to his nearly flawless capabilities—domain suppression, offense, and other means—that completely countered Chaos Great Saints.
But facing a Supreme Saint? He had no confidence.
In that case, he naturally wouldn’t choose to fight head-on.
"Where exactly are you in the Mysterious Emperor Universe?"
"As long as you can get out in ten breaths, I can send you away before Hun Xiao and Yu Lin arrive."
The Eye of Ten Thousand Laws said.
The Mysterious Emperor Universe was filled with rules laid down by the Mysterious Sovereign. Beings like the Eye of Ten Thousand Laws wouldn’t easily enter—it could at most observe from the outside.
"Ten breaths?" Lin Yuan frowned. "I’m in the deepest part of the universe. I can’t get out in ten breaths."
Let alone ten, even a hundred or a thousand breaths wouldn’t be enough. It had taken him months just to reach the tomb at the deepest point after entering.
"You can’t get out?"
The Eye of Ten Thousand Laws looked at him. "Still in the deepest part?"
Even he felt the situation becoming tricky. "What did you gain inside the Mysterious Emperor Universe?"
The Eye already knew that Lin Yuan had inherited the Mysterious Sovereign’s legacy and assumed his gains must be significant.
"A lot."
Lin Yuan nodded.
But “A lot” was an understatement—he had taken nearly everything: countless treasures, rare items, even the Mysterious Sovereign’s personal life-bound weapons.
"If it's only ‘A lot,’ then I suggest you hand over everything you obtained from the Mysterious Emperor Universe. I’ll speak to Yu Lin and Hun Xiao—they’ll likely let you go."
The Eye of Ten Thousand Laws said. Even though Lin Yuan inherited the Sovereign’s legacy, he wasn’t technically part of that era’s lineage.
No matter how deep their hatred for the Mysterious Emperor Lineage ran, if Lin Yuan took the initiative to yield everything...
Yu Lin and Hun Xiao probably wouldn’t push things too far.
After all, the Eye of Ten Thousand Laws was tied to a thirteenth-rank time lifeform. Supreme Saints feared drawing attention from such entities—even if he couldn’t directly act, his presence was a deterrent.
"Hand over everything?"
Lin Yuan frowned deeply.
His gains were immense. Giving them up?
He wasn’t willing.
"If you truly don’t want to hand them over..."
The Eye saw his hesitation and added, "Then I’ll step in directly. But if you don’t show any goodwill, Yu Lin and Hun Xiao may not listen to me."
To a Supreme Saint, someone like the Eye of Ten Thousand Laws was a presence to be wary of—but not to be feared.
After all, the Eye couldn’t act directly, and Supreme Saints stood at the very peak of the Chaos Void.
They wouldn’t provoke him lightly, fearing the attention of the time lifeform behind him—but the Eye also couldn’t force them to do anything.
"Then I’ll leave it to you."
Lin Yuan looked at the Eye of Ten Thousand Laws and spoke solemnly.
"Sigh... I’ll try, but I can’t promise they’ll listen."
The Eye said directly.
In all the long eras past, he had formed good relations with many Supreme Saints. But asking someone to oppose not one, but two ancient Supreme Saints from over thirty million cosmic eras ago?
That was no easy task.
And it was already too late.
Yu Lin and Hun Xiao hadn’t dared to act while the Mysterious Sovereign lived—but that didn’t mean they were weak.
In fact, among Supreme Saints, they were considered powerful.
To endure so many eras under the near-invincible Mysterious Sovereign’s pressure was not something just any Supreme Saint could do.
Outside the Mysterious Emperor Universe—
Two figures silently appeared.
They stood quietly as the laws of time and space around them withdrew, replaced by their own domain rules.
The surrounding Chaos Venerables trembled under the pressure, pale with fear.
"Mysterious Emperor Universe?"
"This is the universe Mysterious Sovereign created... it’s been so long since I felt this aura..."
The figure on the left wore jade armor. His gaze was ancient and solemn as he looked at the universe’s entrance. His voice spread through space-time, affecting every creature that heard it—twisting their minds, as if compelling them to submit.
"If we erase this Mysterious Emperor Universe, there won’t be much of Mysterious Sovereign’s legacy left in the Chaos Void. Our inner fears will fade—and then we can attempt the thirteenth rank."
The other figure spoke.
They were Supreme Saint Yu Lin and Supreme Saint Hun Xiao.
"To attempt the thirteenth rank, the time cycle we face won’t just be unknown trials—it will target our psychological weaknesses."
Yu Lin said quietly.
To these two Supreme Saints, the Mysterious Sovereign had become a kind of inner demon.
For over thirty million cosmic eras, their drive to annihilate the Mysterious Emperor Lineage stemmed partly from hatred—
And partly from wanting to erase all traces of Mysterious Sovereign, thus removing their psychological shackles.
Only then could they improve their chances of surviving the time cycle.
"Let’s go. Let’s see what Mysterious Sovereign left behind."
Hun Xiao glanced at Yu Lin and stepped into the Mysterious Emperor Universe.
Yu Lin followed closely behind.
Rumble—
The moment the two entered, they were suppressed by the universe’s rules—but in mere moments, that suppression, drawn from the universe’s origin, was completely neutralized.
"Mysterious Sovereign, this is merely a universe you left behind. After forty million cosmic eras, its space-time has already begun to collapse. It can no longer restrain us."
Hun Xiao said calmly.
If Mysterious Sovereign were still alive, they wouldn't dare enter.
But now that he was caught in the time cycle, and the universe operated only by instinct—it couldn’t possibly stop them.
In the deepest part of the Mysterious Emperor Universe—
Lin Yuan appeared, while countless avatars rushed toward him from all corners.
"Senior."
He released the spirit of the tomb. "Can you still merge the tomb into space-time like before I arrived, before it manifested?"
"That kind of merging can only be done by His Majesty himself."
The tomb spirit shook his head. "Now that you've come, inherited everything, and the tomb is yours, it can't merge back."
"Why? What’s happened?"
The spirit also sensed Lin Yuan’s anxious tone.
"His Majesty’s two enemies, Hun Xiao and Yu Lin, have arrived," Lin Yuan said immediately.
"Those two?" The tomb spirit’s expression shifted.
As a creation of the Mysterious Sovereign, it inherited part of his memories and knew of the two Supreme Saints.
"Before attempting the thirteenth rank, His Majesty specifically hunted them down, destroyed thirty-nine of their bodies, and only stopped when their karma vanished. I can’t believe they survived."
The tomb spirit said.
"Is there another exit from this universe?" Lin Yuan asked.
"I’m just the spirit of the tomb, not of the universe..." the spirit replied helplessly.
Rumble—
Suddenly—
Lin Yuan’s expression shifted.
He could feel two distinct auras, different from the rest of the universe, quickly dominating the surrounding space-time and spreading across more than half of it.
Unlike other Saints who blended into the universe’s aura upon entering, these two stood above it—replacing its very rules and principles.
Whoosh.
Lin Yuan instantly retracted the tomb spirit and began contacting the Eye of Ten Thousand Laws.
Before long—
Yu Lin and Hun Xiao arrived at the deepest part of the universe.
"So, a remnant of Mysterious Sovereign."
Yu Lin glanced at Lin Yuan and immediately sensed the aura of Mysterious Sovereign’s evolver path on him.
From the moment they entered, only ten breaths had passed. The universe’s suppression had no effect on them.
"Honored Saints."
Lin Yuan spoke, surrounding himself with a miniature universe to resist their pressure.
"Interesting."
Hun Xiao looked down at him and smiled. "So many eras later... you’re the strongest remnant we’ve seen."
Buzz!
At that moment—
A giant eye formed from the laws of the void.
"Hun Xiao, Yu Lin."
The Eye of Ten Thousand Laws gazed at the two Supreme Saints.
He had not wanted to enter the Mysterious Emperor Universe—but that didn’t mean he couldn’t.
"Eye of Ten Thousand Laws?"
"What are you doing here?"
Hun Xiao was surprised. While others might not know their grudge with the Mysterious Lineage, the Eye certainly did. What was he doing here now?
"Lin Yuan is tied to the Myriad Dao Pavilion by karma. Will you let him go?"
The Eye spoke. "He can swear an oath—never to involve himself in anything related to the Mysterious Lineage again."
"Let him go?"
Hun Xiao looked at the Eye with a calm expression. "You really want to meddle in everything, don’t you?"
"Other things can be negotiated. This cannot."
Yu Lin said directly.
Though Lin Yuan wasn’t a Supreme Saint, his strength was at the peak of Chaos Great Saints. Letting him go would be a serious risk.
"Not only will we not let him go—we’ll hunt down all of his true bodies and avatars."
Hun Xiao added.
It was precisely because the Mysterious Sovereign hadn’t erased them completely that they were able to later take revenge on his lineage.
Now, Hun Xiao would not repeat that mistake.
"Hunt down all my bodies and avatars?"
Lin Yuan’s expression changed slightly.
Originally, if worst came to worst, he had planned to hand over the treasures.
After all, with his growth speed, Hun Xiao and Yu Lin would only be temporary caretakers.
Once he reached the Chaos Realm and gained near-invincible strength, he could easily reclaim them.
But to be hunted across all forms?
"You really plan to go that far?" the Eye of Ten Thousand Laws hadn’t expected them to be so ruthless.

Thanks for the chapter!
Dream
If they had let him go he would have just left them alone, but now he's just going to kill these two fuckers when he becomes strong enough... With his ability to go between worlds they can't get rid of him... These two who have survived for eras are going to die because they underestimated someone.
