Chapter 288
🕑 Added 2024-09-13 04:00:01 +0000 UTC"Spatial rules?"
"Mastered the complete spatial rules?"
This ninth-rank powerhouse of the Tianyu Clan stared at Lin Yuan with a look of astonishment.
Even the six-winged elder could guess and sense it in the end, so he naturally could see it as well.
The only possibility for the Milky Way Star Lord to instantly dispel the silver-white cube containing complete spatial rules was absolute control over space.
One thought creates space.
And this can only be achieved by mastering the complete spatial rules.
"Not even a hundred years old, and already comprehended the complete spatial rules?"
The ninth-rank powerhouse of the Tianyu Clan was somewhat stunned. The name of the Milky Way Star Lord had also spread among their ranks. Comprehending three types of advanced cosmic power almost guaranteed reaching the ninth rank.
It's important to know that all of their ninth-rank powerhouses had to go through countless difficulties to reach this level.
Originally, this ninth-rank powerhouse of the Tianyu Clan thought Lin Yuan's achievements had some luck involved. After all, comprehending cosmic power does have random factors.
Cosmic power cannot be replicated, simulated, nor does it have a specific path.
Some brilliant powerhouses might not comprehend cosmic power in their entire lifetime at the eighth rank, while some relatively mediocre eighth ranks might stumble upon a cosmic power.
But now, with the Milky Way Star Lord comprehending the complete spatial rules, it was different.
While comprehending cosmic power might involve randomness and luck, comprehending the complete spatial rules could only be achieved through one's own effort.
Moreover, among all the races in the cosmic starry sky, those who could comprehend the complete spatial rules at the eighth rank were extremely rare, far fewer than the number of ninth or tenth-rank powerhouses.
"This is troublesome." The ninth-rank powerhouse of the Tianyu Clan frowned. A being who had comprehended the complete spatial rules was far more troublesome than an eighth-rank invincible.
With a higher understanding of space, a being who had comprehended the complete spatial rules could easily toy with a group of eighth-rank invincibles, banishing them to the depths of the void through layers of space.
Moreover, the Milky Way Star Lord had not only comprehended the complete spatial rules.
"We must win this war."
The ninth-rank powerhouse of the Tianyu Clan immediately began contacting their powerhouses.
"Soranth, you hold a ninth-rank defensive treasure, come over here." Using himself as a coordinate, the ninth-rank powerhouse summoned a Tianyu Clan powerhouse from their homeland star domain.
Soranth, one of the top ten geniuses of the current era in the Tianyu Clan, had a fifty percent chance of reaching the ninth rank.
He had comprehended an advanced cosmic power within just ten thousand years and had deeply explored his bloodline, mastering three bloodline talents.
The ninth-rank powerhouse of the Tianyu Clan did not expect Soranth to defeat the Milky Way Star Lord. He only needed to hold off or distract part of the Milky Way Star Lord's attention.
As long as the Milky Way Star Lord could not unrestrainedly attack the eighth-rank invincibles of the Tianyu Clan, they still had a chance to win this war.
On the side of human civilization.
In the layers of space, a ninth-rank evolver also looked at Lin Yuan in shock.
His name was 'Xilan,' the ninth-rank evolver stationed in this battlefield for human civilization.
"He actually comprehended the complete spatial rules?"
'Xilan' blinked. Back when he comprehended the complete spatial rules, it took him several thousand years.
These thousands of years were after he had already reached the ninth rank.
'Xilan,' being at a high level, found it much easier to comprehend the spatial rules than an eighth-rank evolver.
"This little guy..."
'Xilan' didn't know how to describe it for a moment.
To become a ninth rank, one must be a prodigy of their time, but now compared to the Milky Way Star Lord, he felt like he had wasted all those years.
"The Milky Way Star Lord's talent and aptitude far exceed the rumors. Such a treasure must be protected."
'Xilan' immediately focused, preventing the ninth-rank powerhouses of the Tianyu Clan from making desperate moves.
Even if the Milky Way Star Lord was just an avatar now, there were ways to influence the main body through the avatar.
In 'Xilan's' heart, the importance of the Milky Way Star Lord now outweighed the victory or defeat of the war.
The war with the Tianyu Clan could be lost, but the Milky Way Star Lord must not be harmed. If necessary, he would break the unspoken rules to ensure the Milky Way Star Lord's safety.
In the center of the battlefield.
Lin Yuan was inventorying the spatial bracelet of the six-winged elder.
"So poor."
Lin Yuan shook his head slightly. There were no valuable treasures in the bracelet, totaling roughly the value of a few thousand universe crystals.
This was normal. Any eighth-rank invincible who dared to come to the battlefield was prepared for death and naturally wouldn't carry precious treasures on them.
"However, this spatial treasure should be quite valuable." Lin Yuan glanced at the silver-white cube nearby.
This treasure was the trump card the Tianyu Clan used for this war, to prevent human civilization from deploying ninth-rank treasures.
And now it had fallen into Lin Yuan's hands.
At this moment.
A Tianyu Clan powerhouse with eight pairs of wings and wearing purple armor appeared on the battlefield, following the spatial ripples.
"My name is Soranth. Milky Way Star Lord, your opponent is me." As soon as Soranth appeared, the originally panicked eighth-rank invincibles of the Tianyu Clan calmed down slightly.
Soranth was one of the top ten geniuses of the Tianyu Clan below the ninth rank, far surpassing the previous six-winged elder in strength.
Moreover, the purple armor Soranth wore emitted deep, fluctuating auras, clearly a ninth-rank defensive treasure.
With Soranth's strength and a ninth-rank defensive treasure, even though the Milky Way Star Lord had comprehended the complete spatial rules, dealing with him wouldn't be easy.
Why did the six-winged elder fall so easily to the Milky Way Star Lord? It was entirely because that spatial treasure was utterly countered!
Who knew beforehand that the Milky Way Star Lord had comprehended the complete spatial rules?
If the six-winged elder had known, he would never have used that silver-white cube.
On the battlefield, Lin Yuan looked at the eight-winged Soranth.
"A ninth-rank defensive treasure?" Lin Yuan's eyes brightened slightly. This was a good item, no less valuable than the spatial treasure, a weapon crafted by a ninth-rank powerhouse.
"Milky Way Star Lord."
Soranth felt immense pressure.
'I have eight-wing qualifications, one of the top ten eighth-rank powerhouses of the Tianyu Clan, mastering three bloodline talents, and now holding a ninth-rank treasure, I feel I have the power to kill an eighth-rank invincible...'
Soranth's thoughts spun, gradually regaining confidence.
No matter how powerful the Milky Way Star Lord was, so what? His goal wasn't to defeat the Milky Way Star Lord.
Holding him off! That's enough!
"Make your move."
"Otherwise, you won't have a chance later."
Lin Yuan glanced at Soranth and said.
Allowing the opponent to attack first wasn't out of arrogance but a desire to see what techniques the opponent had and to see if they could be integrated into his martial arts system.
Getting stronger through battles described someone like Lin Yuan, who had unrivaled insight. Even enemies could become his nourishment.
"Alright."
Soranth's mind moved slightly, and endless thunder appeared within a radius of hundreds of millions of miles around him.
The thunder moved extremely fast, penetrating through layers of space, mighty and vast. Most of the thunder formed a thunder defense barrier around him.
A small portion of the thunder struck towards the Milky Way Star Lord.
With the previous six-winged elder as a warning, Soranth focused mainly on defense, not expecting his attack to affect the Milky Way Star Lord.
"Good use of thunder rules." Lin Yuan nodded slightly.
Thunder rules, while not fundamental rules, were excellent for killing power.
"Go."
Lin Yuan activated the power of destruction, entangling with Soranth's thunder power.
The two forces were in a stalemate. Although Lin Yuan had the upper hand, it was clear that he couldn't take down Soranth in a short time based on the collision.
With the ninth-rank defensive treasure, the Milky Way Star Lord's attacks couldn't injure Soranth.
"I... I've held off the Milky Way Star Lord?"
Soranth felt joy and worked even harder.
"Finally restricted the Milky Way Star Lord." The ninth-rank powerhouse of the Tianyu Clan also watched, "But the Milky Way Star Lord's growth speed will surely become a major threat to our clan."
The ninth-rank powerhouse's gaze was grim. The current Milky Way Star Lord could already influence the outcome of a medium-sized battlefield.
In the future, once fully grown, wouldn't he influence large-scale battlefields?
"Hahaha, as expected of one of our top ten eighth-rank geniuses. What can the Milky Way Star Lord do?"
"But the Milky Way Star Lord is still too strong, suppressing Soranth. If it weren't for that ninth-rank treasure..."
"Regardless, at least we don't have to face the Milky Way Star Lord ourselves."
One by one, the eighth-rank invincibles of the Tianyu Clan breathed a sigh of relief and began to converse.
"That's enough."
After entangling with Soranth for a while, Lin Yuan finally shattered his soul with a slightly superior soul attack.
With Soranth dead, the ninth-rank defensive treasure naturally fell into Lin Yuan's hands.
"What!?"
"I didn't expect the Milky Way Star Lord to be proficient in soul attacks too.."
The ninth-rank powerhouse of the Tianyu Clan pondered for a moment and then contacted his clan, "Balach, you hold a ninth-rank soul defensive treasure, come to the battlefield."
Balach was also one of the top ten eighth-rank powerhouses of the current era in the Tianyu Clan. In terms of combat strength, he was even stronger than Soranth.
Even Soranth could hold off the Milky Way Star Lord for so long. With a ninth-rank soul defensive treasure, Balach, specifically targeting the Milky Way Star Lord, should be able to fully entangle him.
Giving the Tianyu Clan more time in the war.
"Milky Way Star Lord."
Balach, burly and unlike the slender members of the Tianyu Clan, exuded an extremely terrifying aura.
"I have a ninth-rank soul defensive treasure. Your soul attacks are useless against me."
Balach was more talking to himself than Lin Yuan, boosting his confidence.
Half an hour later.
Lin Yuan and Balach fought for a long time, eventually crushing him on a physical level.
With Balach's death, the ninth-rank soul defensive treasure naturally fell into Lin Yuan's hands.
"The Milky Way Star Lord's physical attacks are also terrifying?" The ninth-rank powerhouse of the Tianyu Clan fell into deep thought.
"Azura, you carry..."
The ninth-rank powerhouse continued to contact his clan, dispatching another one of the top ten eighth-rank geniuses.
Two or three hours passed quickly.
Six of the top ten geniuses of the Tianyu Clan had already fallen at Lin Yuan's hands.
These six eighth-rank invincible geniuses, each carrying a ninth-rank treasure specifically targeting the Milky Way Star Lord, all eventually died difficultly to him.
"Something's wrong."
The ninth-rank powerhouse of the Tianyu Clan narrowed his eyes.
The eighth-rank genius of the Tianyu Clan were holding a ninth-rank treasure, how could they be killed by the Milky Way Star Lord every time?
If it happened once or twice, it could be a coincidence.
But this situation happening six times in a row?
"Is this Milky Way Star Lord deliberately hiding his strength?"
The ninth-rank powerhouse of the Tianyu Clan came to his senses.
"Is he shamelessly trying to stole our ninth-rank treasures?"
Anger surged within him. For the Tianyu Clan's overall foundation, seven or eight ninth-rank treasures weren't much.
But for an individual, even a ninth-rank powerhouse like him, seven or eight ninth-rank treasures exceeded his entire net worth.
And now, all these treasures, enough to make an ordinary ninth-rank powerhouse envious, had been given to the Milky Way Star Lord?
"Stop sending people to entangle the Milky Way Star Lord. Abandon the B0001 battlefield and retreat with full force." At this moment, a voice rang in the ninth-rank powerhouse's ear.
"The think tank of our clan..." The ninth-rank powerhouse's expression changed slightly.
The voice came from a member of the Tianyu Clan's think tank.
For the think tank to make such a decision, there was only one possibility.
In their analysis and predictions, the Tianyu Clan no longer had any chance of winning the war.
"Milky Way Star Lord."
The ninth-rank powerhouse of the Tianyu Clan looked again at the Milky Way Star Lord.
At the start of the war, the think tank's prediction was an eighty percent chance of victory.
But now, directly retreating meant acknowledging defeat.
The only difference during this time was the addition of the Milky Way Star Lord to the battlefield.
"Everyone, retreat."
The ninth-rank powerhouse of the Tianyu Clan immediately issued his command.
On a medium-sized battlefield, ninth-rank powerhouses were not allowed to intervene in the war directly.
They could only give retreat orders, which was still within the rules.
On the battlefield, the eighth-rank invincibles of the Tianyu Clan, watching their geniuses fall to the Milky Way Star Lord, felt a surge of unwillingness.
"If we had one more ninth-rank treasure, we could have held out a bit longer."
"Indeed, I saw the Milky Way Star Lord struggling to cope."
"Just a little more."
The eighth-rank invincibles whispered their opinions.
Suddenlyβ
A cold voice echoed in their ears.
"Retreat immediately!"
The command shocked the eighth-rank invincibles.
They recognized the voice, belonging to the ninth-rank powerhouse overseeing the war for the Tianyu Clan!
"Retreat."
"We are all retreating?"
"Does our clan think we have no chance of winning?"
Although puzzled, the eighth-rank invincibles adhered strictly to orders, especially from their ninth-rank powerhouse.
In an instant.
The eighth-rank invincibles began retreating frantically.
High in the sky.
Lin Yuan waited for a moment but didn't see another Tianyu Clan powerhouse with a ninth-rank treasure.
At the same time, he noticed the frenzied retreat of the eighth-rank invincibles.
"Hmm?"
"Have they realized?"
Lin Yuan sighed inwardly. Since the Tianyu Clan sent the second genius with a ninth-rank treasure.
Lin Yuan had an idea to deliberately suppress his strength, leading the Tianyu Clan to believe they had a chance to hold him off.
Thus, they would send one powerhouse after another with ninth-rank treasures.
Just pretending for a while, wasting half an hour, could yield a treasure worth tens of thousands of universe crystals.
This deal was too lucrative.
But unfortunately.
The Tianyu Clan's reaction was swift.
Upon realizing something was wrong, they abandoned the war and ordered all the eighth-rank invincibles to retreat.
"In that case..."
Lin Yuan looked at the fleeing eighth-rank invincibles of the Tianyu Clan.
"Let the massacre begin!"

Thx for translating. One of the worst chapters by far, guy's ninth rank yet he's so idiotic as to send 6 of the best eighth rank talents' clones of his species to death, with all of them having ninth rank equivalent treasures?
