Chapter 266
🕑 Added 2024-08-22 04:00:01 +0000 UTCThe Seventh Heaven was silent.
All the Supreme Immortal King who were fighting, whether born in the epoch of the Three Thousand Dao States or the prehistoric era, all stopped.
Instinctively, they looked at the figure that had torn through the barrier from the Seventh Heaven to the Eighth Heaven with absolute dominance and power.
In the Nine Heavens of the Spirit Realm, from the First Heaven to the Second Heaven, the Second Heaven to the Third Heaven... from the Seventh Heaven to the Eighth Heaven... there are two ways to ascend.
One is to follow the fixed entrance between each heaven to enter the next.
However, at these fixed entrances, there are various tribulations, such as the Endless Wind Tribulation, the Ninefold Thunder Tribulation, and so on.
The other way is to directly tear through the barrier between the heavens to ascend.
But—
The barriers between the heavens are not easily torn.
Even for a Supreme Immortal King, tearing the barrier from the First Heaven to the Second Heaven takes considerable effort and is far less convenient than entering through the fixed entrance.
Moreover, each barrier between the heavens is more solid than the last. A normal Supreme Immortal King might manage to tear through from the First Heaven to the Second Heaven with some effort.
But the barrier from the Second Heaven to the Third Heaven would require the full strength of a Supreme Immortal King.
As for the barrier from the Third Heaven to the Fourth Heaven? Ordinary Supreme Immortal King are powerless.
In this Battle to Ascend Heaven, the reason the Opening Heaven Immortal King and the Great Immortal King of the Three Thousand Dao States epoch chose the entrance to the Eighth Heaven is because it is the simplest.
As for forcibly tearing through the barrier from the Seventh Heaven to the Eighth Heaven, even with more than twenty Supreme Immortal King working together, it would take at least several days and nights.
By that time, the Supreme Immortal King of the prehistoric era in the Eighth Heaven would have long noticed and would be waiting above the barrier, ready to fight, making it no different from starting the battle at the entrance.
It would take the combined effort of more than twenty Supreme Immortal King, including the Opening Heaven Immortal King and the Great Immortal King, several days and nights to barely tear through the barrier from the Seventh Heaven to the Eighth Heaven.
The barrier from the Sixth Heaven to the Seventh Heaven, though not as tough as the former, would still require the full effort of more than twenty Supreme Immortal King, taking at least half a day or even a day or two to tear through.
But just now.
The figure that suddenly appeared tore through the barrier from the Sixth Heaven to the Seventh Heaven in what time? A single breath? Or an instant?
Moreover, this figure seemed to have torn through not just the barrier from the Sixth Heaven to the Seventh Heaven, but the barriers of the five heavens below, without pausing for an instant.
Such power was terrifying. Even the strongest Supreme Immortal King like the Opening Heaven Immortal King and the Great Immortal King felt a chill.
Additionally, the moment that figure appeared, an invisible and terrifying field of blood energy covered one-tenth of the Seventh Heaven, enveloping all the Supreme Immortal King.
Compared to the shock of the other Supreme Immortal King, the Lingxu Immortal King was nearly suffocated. Just being close to that figure made the high-level creation force within him fall silent, not to mention the other six ordinary creation forces.
"Who... who are you?"
"Which epoch are you from?"
The Lingxu Immortal King asked, his voice trembling. As a Supreme Immortal King of the prehistoric era, he knew that the Spirit Realm had gone through countless epochs.
The prehistoric era? The epoch of the Three Thousand Dao States? These were just the two most recent epochs.
Before these two epochs, there were even more ancient and unfathomable epochs.
"Who am I?"
"Weren't you the one who ambushed me earlier?"
Lin Yuan glanced at the Lingxu Immortal King, his tone calm.
The Tai Chi primordial spirit had dissipated under the Lingxu Immortal King's Third Realm Great Destruction Force, partly due to Lin Yuan dispersing it himself, but it was indeed because of the Lingxu Immortal King.
The moment the Tai Chi primordial spirit was ambushed, Lin Yuan's true body had left the Martial Temple, heading straight to the Nine Heavens, following the principle of the shortest distance between two points, tearing through one wonder, anomaly, and heavenly barrier after another to arrive here.
"Ambushed you?"
The Lingxu Immortal King was slightly stunned.
Then his face showed an expression of disbelief.
The Martial Ancestor from earlier was this person? The Lingxu Immortal King found it hard to believe. The Martial Ancestor's strength was indeed formidable, almost surpassing the Opening Heaven Immortal King and the Great Immortal King.
But that was all.
One on one, even without an ambush, the Lingxu Immortal King was confident he could suppress the Martial Ancestor.
He had ambushed only to resolve the battle quickly, to eliminate the unstable factor of the Martial Ancestor as soon as possible.
For the Lingxu Immortal King, having lived through long ages, he no longer cared about ambushing or not.
The other Supreme Immortal King around were also closely watching Lin Yuan.
They couldn't help it. Lin Yuan's way of appearing was too frightening. To him, even the strong barriers between the heavens were like thin paper.
It was simply incredible.
"Martial Ancestor, is he really the Martial Ancestor?"
"How is that possible? No, their auras are similar, it could indeed be the same person."
Many Supreme Immortal King, especially those of the Three Thousand Dao States epoch, were initially dumbfounded, but after careful sensing, they vaguely found that the Martial Ancestor they knew indeed had a similar aura to this figure.
The similarity was essential, stemming from mastering the same creation force and that vast power resembling the world force of the Spirit Realm.
The difference was that the former Martial Ancestor, if his world force was akin to a Dao State in the lower realm, now, the world force casually released by the Martial Ancestor was as vast as the Three Thousand Dao States.
"Impossible, how could you be so strong? Even if it's a clone or incarnation, the gap with the true body can't be this big."
The Lingxu Immortal King muttered, voicing the doubts of all the Supreme Immortal King.
The difference in strength between the former and current Martial Ancestor was too vast. Even knowing such a strong figure wouldn't lie, the Lingxu Immortal King still couldn't believe it.
"That's something you don't need to know."
Lin Yuan shook his head slightly.
Under normal circumstances, Lin Yuan's Tai Chi primordial spirit was not much weaker than his true body.
But the mysterious gourd had brought a tenfold increase to his true body's internal world and physical body.
What does a tenfold increase mean? His internal world expanded from 6.8 million miles in radius to nearly 70 million miles. The enhancement in world force was beyond hundreds of times. It was by relying on his vast internal world that Lin Yuan could crush his way directly to the Seventh Heaven.
Of course, besides his physical body and internal world, Lin Yuan's mastery of the divine ability 'Enhancement' also widened the gap between his true body and the Tai Chi primordial spirit.
'Enhancement' was a physical divine ability. Although it could enhance the soul, mind, and will, its foundation was the physical body. The Tai Chi primordial spirit, being only a primordial spirit, couldn't use this divine ability.
However, the 'Enhancement' divine ability had side effects, and Lin Yuan wouldn't use this trump card unless absolutely necessary.
Buzz.
Lin Yuan's thoughts moved.
The terrifying world force, following the space of the Seventh Heaven, directly crushed the Lingxu Immortal King.
The Lingxu Immortal King's body turned to dust. The high-level creation force—Destruction Force, condensed into a ball, falling into Lin Yuan's hand.
The other ordinary creation forces were also absorbed by Lin Yuan.
These creation forces, especially the high-level creation forces, were extremely valuable to Lin Yuan. Bringing them back to the main world would transform them into high-level cosmic forces, greatly benefiting his path to the ninth rank.
Swoosh.
After the Lingxu Immortal King's body was crushed.
A phantom-like soul escaped. As a Supreme Immortal King in the immortal cultivation system, most of his means were centered on the soul. Battles between Supreme Immortal King rarely resulted in death, because at most, they would abandon their bodies.
As long as they were willing to escape with their soul, they could usually get away.
"Too terrifying," the Lingxu Immortal King's soul shuddered. Under the crushing world force just now, he barely managed to escape with his soul.
"This Martial Ancestor, his origins must be extraordinary, definitely one of those terrifying beings from the earliest epochs." The Lingxu Immortal King's soul tore through the void, fleeing towards the entrance of the Eighth Heaven.
"You think you can escape?"
Lin Yuan's figure disappeared from his original spot.
The next moment.
Beside the Lingxu Immortal King's soul, a hand reached out.
"Ahhhh!!"
The Lingxu Immortal King's soul let out a sharp cry, then was caught by Lin Yuan, directly undergoing soul search, and then refined into the purest soul power.
The Eighth Heaven.
In a winding palace, within a side hall.
A man who looked strikingly similar to the Lingxu Immortal King opened his eyes.
As a Supreme Immortal King and one who had survived from the prehistoric era, the Lingxu Immortal King had many life-saving means. Even if his true body and soul perished, he could still 'revive' in this prepared body.
But at this moment, the Lingxu Immortal King felt no joy in reviving. His eyes showed worry and unease.
"That Martial Ancestor is too terrifying. I have already cultivated the Destruction Force to the Third Realm, supplemented by six other Third Realm ordinary creation forces, yet I couldn't even struggle before him."
The Lingxu Immortal King was terrified.
After living through the long ages from the prehistoric era to now, he finally felt the breath of death.
Complete death.
"With the Martial Ancestor's strength, he will soon enter the Eighth Heaven," the Lingxu Immortal King composed himself.
"I must inform the Chaos Immortal King and the others."
In the prehistoric era, although the Lingxu Immortal King was a top-tier Supreme Immortal King, he wasn't the strongest.
The truly strongest immortal King were the Chaos Immortal King who led them into the Eighth Heaven.
These Supreme Immortal King had mastered several high-level creation forces, all cultivated to the Third Realm, their strength immeasurable.
Of course.
In the Lingxu Immortal King's view, even combining the strength of the Chaos Immortal King wouldn't be enough to face the Martial Ancestor.
At least in front of the Chaos Immortal King, he could still contend for a while, but the Martial Ancestor didn't even allow him to have the thought of resistance.
But now the Lingxu Immortal King had no choice. With the Martial Ancestor about to enter the Eighth Heaven, his only reliance was the Chaos Immortal King.
"The Chaos Immortal King has been studying the Ninth Heaven for so many years, maybe he has discovered some killing move that can block the Martial Ancestor."
Having felt the Martial Ancestor's strength, the Lingxu Immortal King didn't hope for the Chaos Immortal King to repel or defeat him.
He would be grateful if he could just barely hold him off.
After searching the Lingxu Immortal King's soul, Lin Yuan learned many secrets about the Eighth Heaven and the prehistoric era.
"So, the Supreme Immortal Kings of the prehistoric era were led by the Chaos Immortal King, who has comprehended four high-level creation forces, all cultivated to the Third Realm."
"After the end of the prehistoric era, the Chaos Immortal King led a group of Supreme Immortal King to the Eighth Heaven, always trying to ascend to the Ninth Heaven but never succeeding."
Lin Yuan pondered.
The Chaos Immortal King comprehended four high-level creation forces and cultivated them to the Third Realm, which was beyond Lin Yuan.
Although Lin Yuan also comprehended four high-level creation forces, they were only at the First Realm.
But Lin Yuan also mastered an internal world spanning seventy million miles. With such a vast internal world, he didn't consider the Chaos Immortal King a threat.
"It's been so long, and they haven't ascended to the Ninth Heaven?" Lin Yuan was very interested in the Chaos Immortal King. The forces he mastered probably included one or two that Lin Yuan had yet to comprehend.
"What about them?"
Lin Yuan looked towards the battlefield, at the other Supreme Immortal King.
"Run."
"Quickly return to the Eighth Heaven."
The Supreme Immortal King of the prehistoric era fled towards the entrance of the Eighth Heaven without hesitation.
What a joke.
If they didn't run now, were they waiting to follow the Lingxu Immortal King's fate? Although they didn't know Lin Yuan's exact strength, his method of killing the Lingxu Immortal King was far beyond their ability to handle.
As for joining forces to resist, when the strength gap reaches a certain level, numbers are no longer an advantage, unless it's the 'insect swarm tactic' from the main world.
Otherwise, dozens of Supreme Immortal King would be like toys before Lin Yuan, to be played with at will.
Lin Yuan didn't stop the massive escape of these Supreme Immortal King.
Mainly because it wasn't necessary. The next level was the Eighth Heaven, where could they run to?
For a time.
The Seventh Heaven was left with only Lin Yuan and the Opening Heaven Immortal King, the Great Immortal King, and the other more than twenty immortal King.
"Martial Ancestor."
After a moment, the Opening Heaven Immortal King mustered his courage, approached Lin Yuan, and tentatively spoke.
"Opening Heaven." Lin Yuan smiled slightly, restraining his aura and greeting casually.
In the three hundred years, Lin Yuan had a pleasant relationship with the Opening Heaven Immortal King, the Great Immortal King, and the other Supreme Immortal King, and he didn't plan to oppress them with his strength now.
Lin Yuan's response made the Opening Heaven Immortal King slightly relieved. At least with Lin Yuan speaking this way, he considered him one of his own.
He didn't have to fear like the Supreme Immortal Kings of the prehistoric era.
"Martial Ancestor, what kind of creation force did you master?" The Great Immortal King came closer, unable to suppress his curiosity.
Lin Yuan's revealed strength was too terrifying. If not for lacking certain features of the legends beyond the immortal King, they would have thought Lin Yuan had already taken that step.
"What kind of creation force?"
"It should be considered the 'world force'?"
The world force born from the internal world was entirely different from creation force and cosmic force. By opening the internal world, one could master it without comprehension.
