Chapter 267: Invincible Lin Yuan (Seeking Subscriptions)

In the Seventh Heavenly Realm, silence reigned.

All the Supreme Transcendent Kings, whether born in the Three Thousand Dao States Era or the Prehistoric Era, stopped fighting.

Instinctively, they looked towards the figure that, with absolute dominance and power, tore through the barrier between the Seventh and Eighth Heavenly Realms.

In the Spirit Realm's Nine Heavenly Realms, there are two ways to ascend from one realm to another.

One is to follow the fixed entrance between each realm, although these entrances are fraught with dangers such as endless storms and thunder tribulations.

The other is to directly tear through the barriers between realms, but this isn't easy.

Even for Supreme Transcendent Kings, breaking through the barriers between realms requires significant effort, especially for higher realms.

In this Heavenly Ascension Battle, the Supreme Transcendent Kings of the Three Thousand Dao States Era chose the simplest path: using the entrance to the Eighth Heavenly Realm.

Attempting to forcefully tear through the barrier between the Seventh and Eighth Heavenly Realms would take at least several days and nights, giving the Supreme Transcendent Kings from the Prehistoric Era time to prepare, making it no different from starting at the entrance.

But just now...

How long did it take for that sudden figure to tear through the barrier between the Sixth and Seventh Heavenly Realms? A breath? A moment?

And it seemed that this figure not only tore through the barrier between the Sixth and Seventh Heavenly Realms but also shattered the barriers of the five lower realms without pause.

This strength was terrifying. Even the strongest among the Supreme Transcendent Kings, like the Heavenly Kings and Transcendent Kings, felt a tremor in their hearts.

Moreover, the moment that figure appeared, an invisible field of terror covered a tenth of the Seventh Heavenly Realm, enveloping all the Supreme Transcendent Kings.

Compared to the shock felt by the other Supreme Transcendent Kings, Lingxu, the Transcendent King, felt almost suffocated. Just by approaching that figure, the higher-level Powers of Creation within him fell silent, let alone the ordinary Powers of Creation.

"Who... who are you?"

"Which era's powerhouse are you?"

Lingxu, the Transcendent King, asked tremblingly. As a Supreme Transcendent King from the Prehistoric Era, Lingxu knew that the Spirit Realm had experienced countless eras over countless millennia.

The Prehistoric Era? The Three Thousand Dao States Era was just the most recent of the two eras.

Before these two eras, there were even more ancient and unfathomable epochs.

"Who am I?"

"Weren't you just trying to sneak attack me?"

Lin Yuan glanced at Lingxu, speaking calmly.

With the Taiji Divine Spirit shattered by Lingxu's Power of Great Annihilation, even though Lin Yuan voluntarily dispersed it, it was indeed due to Lingxu.

The moment the Taiji Divine Spirit was attacked, Lin Yuan's true body left the Martial Temple, heading straight to the Ninth Heavenly Realm, following the shortest path through the wonders, phenomena, and barriers between realms to arrive here.

"Sneak attack me?"

Lingxu, the Transcendent King, was slightly stunned.

Then his face showed an incredulous expression.

Was that Martial Ancestor who had just appeared this person?

Lingxu, the Transcendent King, found it hard to believe. Indeed, Martial Ancestor was very powerful, almost on par with the Heavenly Kings and Transcendent Kings.

But that's it.

In a one-on-one situation, even without a sneak attack, Lingxu, the Transcendent King, was confident he could suppress Martial Ancestor.

The reason for the sneak attack was to quickly end the battle, to eliminate Martial Ancestor as an unstable factor as quickly as possible.

For Lingxu, the Transcendent King, who had lived through countless ages, sneaking or not sneaking was of little consequence.

Other Supreme Transcendent Kings around were also closely observing Lin Yuan.

There was no way around it; Lin Yuan's appearance was too terrifying. Even the Heavenly Realm's barriers were like thin paper before him.

It was simply unbelievable.

"Martial Ancestor, is he Martial Ancestor?"

"How is that possible? Wait, their auras are similar. It might actually be the same person."

Many Supreme Transcendent Kings, especially those from the Three Thousand Dao States Era, were initially dumbfounded, but upon closer inspection, they found similarities between the Martial Ancestor they were familiar with and the one before them in terms of aura.

This similarity was fundamental, as they both wielded the same Powers of Creation and possessed a power similar to the world's power in the Spirit Realm.

The difference was that the previous Martial Ancestor controlled the power of a single world. If it was a Dao State in the mortal realm, the power he released casually would be equivalent to the Three Thousand Dao States.

"It's impossible. How can you be so strong? Even if it's a clone, the difference between you and the true body shouldn't be this great."

Lingxu, the Transcendent King, murmured to himself, expressing the doubts in the hearts of all the Supreme Transcendent Kings.

The disparity in strength between the two Martial Ancestors before and after was too great. Even though they knew such a powerhouse wouldn't lie, Lingxu, the Transcendent King, still couldn't believe it.

"You don't need to know that."

Lin Yuan shook his head slightly.

Under normal circumstances, Lin Yuan's Taiji Divine Spirit was not much weaker than his true body.

However, the mysterious gourd brought about a tenfold increase in Lin Yuan's true body and the world within it.

What does a tenfold increase mean? With the world within his body expanding from 6.8 million square kilometers to 70 million, the enhancement of the world's power was not just a hundredfold—it was much more.

Relying on his immense inner world, Lin Yuan could crush his way straight into the Seventh Heavenly Realm.

Of course, besides his physical body and inner world, the divine ability "Enhancement" that Lin Yuan possessed also widened the gap between his true body and his Taiji Divine Spirit.

"Enhancement" was a physical body divine ability. Although it could boost the soul, mind, and will, its foundation was still in the physical body. The Taiji Divine Spirit, as a mere projection of the soul, couldn't use this divine ability.

However, the "Enhancement" divine ability had side effects, so Lin Yuan wouldn't use this trump card unless absolutely necessary.

Hum.

Lin Yuan's mind moved slightly.

The terrifying power of the world crushed towards Lingxu, the Transcendent King, directly in the Seventh Heavenly Realm.

Lingxu, the Transcendent King's, physical body was directly reduced to powder, and the higher-level Power of Creation—Power of Annihilation—condensed into a sphere, falling into Lin Yuan's hands.

The other six types of ordinary Powers of Creation were also absorbed by Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan attached great importance to these Powers of Creation, especially the higher-level ones. Bringing them back to the main world would transform them into high-level cosmic forces, greatly benefiting his Ninth-Rank Dao Path.

Swish.

After Lingxu, the Transcendent King's, physical body was shattered,

a illusory soul flew out. As most of the methods used by the Supreme Transcendent Kings in the cultivation system were aimed at the soul, battles between Supreme Transcendent Kings rarely ended in death, mainly because Supreme Transcendent Kings would abandon their physical bodies.

As long as they were willing to flee with their soul, they could mostly escape.

"Too terrifying." Lingxu, the Transcendent King's, soul trembled. Just now, under the crushing force of the power of the world, he almost couldn't escape with his soul intact.

"This Martial Ancestor is definitely not simple. He must be one of those terrifying existences from the earliest eras." Lingxu, the Transcendent King's, soul tore through the void and fled towards the entrance to the Eighth Heavenly Realm.

"You think you can escape?"

Lin Yuan's figure disappeared from the spot.

The next moment,

beside Lingxu, the Transcendent King's, soul, a hand reached out and grabbed.

"Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!"

Lingxu, the Transcendent King's, soul emitted a sharp scream, then was caught by Lin Yuan, who directly began to probe his soul, soon refining it into the purest soul power.

Eighth Heavenly Realm.

Inside a winding palace, within a certain side hall.

A man with a face similar to Lingxu, the Transcendent King, opened his eyes.

As a Supreme Transcendent King who had survived from the Prehistoric Era, Lingxu, the Transcendent King, had many life-saving methods. Even if his true body perished, he could still "resurrect" in this already prepared body.

However, at this moment, Lingxu, the Transcendent King, showed no joy at his resurrection. His gaze was worried, tinged with unease.

"That Martial Ancestor is too terrifying. I've already cultivated the Power of Annihilation to the Third Rank, supplemented by the six other types of ordinary Powers of Creation at the Third Rank. But in front of that Martial Ancestor, I couldn't even struggle."

Lingxu, the Transcendent King, shivered.

After countless ages, from the Prehistoric Era to the present, he finally felt the breath of death.

It was a complete death.

"With Martial Ancestor's strength, he'll probably enter the Eighth Heavenly Realm soon," Lingxu, the Transcendent King, steadied himself. "I need to inform the Chaos-Reversal Transcendent Kings about this."

In the Prehistoric Era, although Lingxu, the Transcendent King, was outstanding among the Supreme Transcendent Kings, he wasn't the strongest. The true strongest Transcendent Kings of the Prehistoric Era were the Chaos-Reversal Transcendent Kings who led Lingxu, the Transcendent King, and others to rule the Eighth Heavenly Realm together. These Supreme Transcendent Kings mastered several advanced Powers of Creation and had all cultivated to the Third Rank, making their strength immeasurable.

Of course, in Lingxu, the Transcendent King's, view, even if the strongest Transcendent Kings were combined, they were far from a match for that Martial Ancestor. At least he could still resist the Chaos-Reversal Transcendent Kings for a while, but the Martial Ancestor made him not even dare to think of rebellion.

But now Lingxu, the Transcendent King, had no other choice. With the Martial Ancestor about to enter the Eighth Heavenly Realm, the only ones he could rely on were the Chaos-Reversal Transcendent Kings.

"The Chaos-Reversal Transcendent Kings have been researching the entrance to the Ninth Heavenly Realm for so many years. Perhaps they've developed some kind of technique that can withstand that Martial Ancestor," Lingxu, the Transcendent King, said. He had experienced the Martial Ancestor's strength and didn't harbor hopes that the Chaos-Reversal Transcendent Kings could repel or defeat him. As long as they could barely hold him off, it would be a blessing from the heavens.

After Lin Yuan probed Lingxu, the Transcendent King's, soul, he learned many secrets about the Eighth Heavenly Realm and the Prehistoric Era.

"So the group of Supreme Transcendent Kings from the Prehistoric Era, led by the Chaos-Reversal Transcendent Kings, comprehended four advanced Powers of Creation, all cultivated to the Third Rank." "After the end of the Prehistoric Era, the Chaos-Reversal Transcendent Kings led a group of Supreme Transcendent Kings to ascend to the Eighth Heavenly Realm and have been attempting to reach the Ninth Heavenly Realm, but they haven't succeeded yet," Lin Yuan pondered.

The Chaos-Reversal Transcendent Kings comprehended four advanced Powers of Creation and cultivated them to the Third Rank, a feat Lin Yuan couldn't match. Although Lin Yuan had also comprehended four advanced Powers of Creation, they were all at the First Rank. However, Lin Yuan also possessed a world within his body spanning 70 million square kilometers. Relying on this immense inner world, Lin Yuan didn't regard the Chaos-Reversal Transcendent Kings highly.

"So much time has passed, and they still haven't reached the Ninth Heavenly Realm?" Lin Yuan was very interested in the Chaos-Reversal Transcendent Kings. They probably possessed one or two types of Powers of Creation that Lin Yuan hadn't comprehended.

"Them?" Lin Yuan looked towards the battlefield, observing the other Supreme Transcendent Kings.

"Run!"

"Hurry back to the Eighth Heavenly Realm."

The Supreme Transcendent Kings of the Prehistoric Era fled without hesitation towards the entrance of the Eighth Heavenly Realm.

What a joke.

Now, if they don't escape, are they waiting to follow in Lingxu's footsteps?

Although they didn't know Lin Yuan's exact strength, just based on his ability to kill Lingxu, they were far from a match for him.

As for joining forces to resist, when the gap in strength reaches a certain level, numerical advantage ceases to be an advantage, unless it's a tactic like the 'Insect Swarm' used in the main world.

Otherwise, in front of Lin Yuan, dozens of Supreme Transcendent Kings would probably be like toys, easily manipulated.

Lin Yuan didn't stop these Supreme Transcendent Kings from fleeing.

Mainly because there was no need. The Eighth Heavenly Realm was right above them. Where could these Supreme Transcendent Kings escape to?

At one moment, within the Seventh Heavenly Realm, only Lin Yuan and more than twenty Transcendent Kings such as the Sky-Opening Transcendent King and the Supreme Transcendent King remained.

"Martial Ancestor."

After a moment, the Sky-Opening Transcendent King summoned up the courage to approach Lin Yuan and tentatively spoke.

"Sky-Opening." Lin Yuan smiled slightly, actively concealing his aura, and casually greeted him.

Over the past three hundred years, Lin Yuan had gotten along quite well with the Sky-Opening Transcendent King, the Supreme Transcendent King, and others. At this moment, he had no intention of intimidating them with his strength.

Lin Yuan's response eased the Sky-Opening Transcendent King's anxiety slightly. At least Lin Yuan spoke to him as if they were on the same side.

He didn't need to be as fearful as the Supreme Transcendent Kings from the Prehistoric Era.

"Martial Ancestor, what kind of Power of Creation do you actually wield?" The Supreme Transcendent King, unable to resist his curiosity, also approached and asked.

Lin Yuan's displayed power was too terrifying. If he didn't have certain features rumored to be above those of Transcendent Kings, they almost all thought Lin Yuan had already taken that step.

"What kind of Power of Creation?" Lin Yuan shook his head. "It should be 'Power of the World'?"

The Power of the World born from the world within the body was a force distinct from the Power of Creation and the Power of the Universe, relying on the creation of the inner world.

There's no need for enlightenment, just opening up the inner world is enough to wield it.

Chapter 268: Five Hundred Years (Subscribe)

"Power of the World?"

The Sky-Opening Transcendent King, the Supreme Transcendent King, and other Supreme Transcendent Kings exchanged glances. They had never heard of this type of Power of Creation.

But since Martial Ancestor said so, this power must exist.

"Let's go."

"Go to the Eighth Heavenly Realm and take a look."

After Lin Yuan finished speaking, he headed towards the entrance of the Eighth Heavenly Realm.

At this moment, the entrance to the Eighth Heavenly Realm was deserted, with no Supreme Transcendent Kings from the Prehistoric Era guarding it, just wisps of phantom power drifting about.

That was the calamity from the Seventh Heavenly Realm to the Eighth Heavenly Realm, a natural phenomenon within the Nine Heavens, even if destroyed, it would recover.

Just like the barrier between the heavens that Lin Yuan tore open, it was also rapidly recovering now.

"Let's go directly through the entrance."

Lin Yuan glanced around.

Previously, the Taiji Avatar was ambushed by Lingxu Transcendent King, and Lin Yuan's true body was pressed for time, so he had to charge through aggressively. But now, there was no need for that.

The entrance was right in front of them, they could just go straight through.

The calamity from the Seventh to the Eighth Heavenly Realm was similar to a soul illusion, akin to the Trials of the Heart and Mind, but much stronger.

But with many Supreme Transcendent Kings present, after experiencing countless years, their mental strength, even without deliberate cultivation, was strong enough to easily pass through.

Although Lin Yuan's experience was relatively short-lived, his mental strength index, honed by the bodies of the strongest, combined with the vast inner world, made him stronger than the Supreme Transcendent Kings present.

Huff.

Lin Yuan easily arrived at the Eighth Heavenly Realm.

The environment here was similar to the Seventh Heavenly Realm.

The only difference was a faint mysterious aura pervading the air, emanating from the Ninth Heavenly Realm above.

There are people beyond people, heavens beyond heavens, and heavenly beings above the nine heavens.

This was the ancient legend in the spiritual realm about the Ninth Heavenly Realm.

The so-called heavenly beings, according to the speculations of many Supreme Transcendent Kings, might be an invincible powerhouse, overlooking the vast spiritual realm from the Ninth Heavenly Realm.

The Supreme Transcendent Kings from the Prehistoric Era and the Three Thousand Daoist States were so eager to enter the Ninth Heavenly Realm because they hoped to receive guidance from that invincible powerhouse.

"Is this the Eighth Heavenly Realm?"

"It's indeed extraordinary, different from the Seventh Heavenly Realm."

The Sky-Opening Transcendent King, the Supreme Transcendent King, and other Supreme Transcendent Kings followed along.

This was their first time ascending to the Eighth Heavenly Realm. In previous battles to ascend, they were all repelled by Lingxu Transcendent King. Now, following Lin Yuan, they finally fulfilled their long-standing wish.

"The Ninth Heavenly Realm?"

Lin Yuan looked up.

Compared to the barrier of the Eighth Heavenly Realm in front of them, the barrier of the Ninth Heavenly Realm faintly emitted a golden color. Even Lin Yuan wasn't confident he could break it.

Or rather, he could tear it apart with confidence, but it would require a lot of time because once damaged, the barrier between the Ninth Heavens would quickly recover.

Lin Yuan's tearing speed would have to be much faster than the barrier's recovery speed.

"Let's go to the entrance of the Ninth Heavenly Realm."

Lin Yuan made up his mind. After probing Lingxu Transcendent King's soul, Lin Yuan was very familiar with the Eighth Heavenly Realm, so he flew straight towards the entrance to the Ninth Heavenly Realm.

Entrance to the Ninth Heavenly Realm.

Dozens of figures stood there.

These dozens of figures were the most powerful Supreme Transcendent Kings from the Prehistoric Era, each of them having at least cultivated some form of high-level Power of Creation to the third realm.

Most of them had mastered two or more high-level Powers of Creation to the third realm. Lingxu Transcendent King had oppressed the Supreme Transcendent Kings from the Three Thousand Daoist States, making it hard for them to breathe.

But among these Supreme Transcendent Kings, they were basically at the bottom.

In the Prehistoric Era, after experiencing a complete era, coupled with the long years of the Three Thousand Daoist States, the number of Supreme Transcendent Kings far exceeded that of the nascent Three Thousand Daoist States, and they were much stronger.

Swoosh swoosh swoosh.

Lin Yuan appeared not far away.

The Sky-Opening Transcendent King, the Supreme Transcendent King, and other Supreme Transcendent Kings also followed behind Lin Yuan.

"So many powerhouses?"

The Sky-Opening Transcendent King's scalp tingled a bit. At this moment, they realized how ridiculous their battles to ascend to the heavens had been.

Among the many Supreme Transcendent Kings standing at the entrance to the Ninth Heavenly Realm, just a few of them could easily suppress their twenty-plus Supreme Transcendent Kings.

At this moment, even the Supreme Transcendent King was nervous. If Lin Yuan wasn't standing in front of them, they probably would have thought of escaping.

Among the many Supreme Transcendent Kings from the Prehistoric Era, the one at the forefront was tall and exuded a chaotic and disorderly aura. He stood at the forefront of all the Transcendent Kings, obviously the leader of the powerful Supreme Transcendent Kings from the Prehistoric Era.

"Rebellious Transcendent King."

Lin Yuan's gaze was calm.

After probing Lingxu Transcendent King's soul, Lin Yuan naturally understood that Rebellious Transcendent King was the strongest Transcendent King of the Prehistoric Era.

"Martial Ancestor."

Rebellious Transcendent King turned around and looked at Lin Yuan solemnly. "Lingxu has already told me."

"Your strength, Martial Ancestor, far surpasses mine."

"Whatever you want, just say it, and I'll agree."

Rebellious Transcendent King said calmly, seemingly voluntarily submitting, which was not embarrassing at all.

In fact, it was true. Lingxu Transcendent King had already shown the scene that occurred in the Seventh Heavenly Realm to Rebellious Transcendent King and other Supreme Transcendent Kings from the Prehistoric Era.

Including Rebellious Transcendent King, all the Supreme Transcendent Kings from the Prehistoric Era admitted that they couldn't achieve what Martial Ancestor did.

Even in Rebellious Transcendent King's many speculations, even if all of them joined forces, they would only be able to barely hold on for a while against Martial Ancestor before eventually being defeated.

Since he already knew the outcome, Rebellious Transcendent King naturally wouldn't resist and voluntarily surrendered.

"Oh?"

Lin Yuan glanced at Rebellious Transcendent King.

This was good; it saved him some effort.

"Split your soul and let me probe it," Lin Yuan said directly.

He didn't choose to directly probe, which was also a response to Rebellious Transcendent King's proactive cooperation.

Probing a split soul was no different from probing it after directly suppressing it, but it was better for Rebellious Transcendent King's dignity.

"No problem."

Rebellious Transcendent King decisively split off a part of his soul.

This part of his soul contained all his memories. Lin Yuan only needed to probe this soul to know everything he wanted to know.

Hum.

Lin Yuan took Rebellious Transcendent King's partial soul.

Within a few breaths, he finished probing.

"So that's how it is."

Lin Yuan had some enlightenment.

In Rebellious Transcendent King's memories lay the reason for the end of the Prehistoric Era.

At the end of the Prehistoric Era, a treasure fell from the Ninth Heaven.

This treasure led to a massive battle among the many powerful Supreme Transcendent Kings of the Prehistoric Era.

That battle plunged the spiritual realm into what seemed like doomsday, with even Transcendent Kings in the Tribulation Period falling in large numbers.

In the end, as the victor, Rebellious Transcendent King obtained the treasure and led many of his subordinates into the Eighth Heavenly Realm.

After the Prehistoric Era, the spiritual realm experienced a long period of recovery and gradually entered the next era.

The Three Thousand Daoist States.

Until today, the Three Thousand Daoist States were still in the early stages, not even comparable to a fraction of the time experienced by the Prehistoric Era.

"Give me the treasure," Lin Yuan said to Rebellious Transcendent King.

In the Prehistoric Era, Rebellious Transcendent King was only one of the strongest.

There were several other Supreme Transcendent Kings comparable to him, capable of risking battles with peers, initiating battles among Supreme Transcendent Kings.

That treasure was evidently crucial.

"This is the treasure."

Rebellious Transcendent King hesitated for a moment before handing over the treasure.

After probing Rebellious Transcendent King's partial soul, Lin Yuan's understanding of the treasure was no less than his, and there was no need to hide anything.

The treasure Rebellious Transcendent King gave to Lin Yuan was an irregular stone, faintly emitting mysterious power, with a primordial aura permeating it.

"This stone contains a kind of Power of Creation that surpasses high-level Powers of Creation. As long as one can comprehend it, even if they cannot take that step, they can still advance significantly in the realm of Supreme Transcendent Kings," Rebellious Transcendent King explained softly, looking at the irregular stone in Lin Yuan's hand.

"Unfortunately, after so many years, I've never comprehended it. Even though I've been close to the Ninth Heavenly Realm, I've never sensed anything."

Rebellious Transcendent King's tone carried an inexplicable sentiment.

The mysterious aura emanating from the Ninth Heavenly Realm was similar to that of the stone. Rebellious Transcendent King believed that being near the Ninth Heavenly Realm for a long time would help him comprehend the stone.

But after so many years, Rebellious Transcendent King's comprehension of the stone remained stagnant, and he gained nothing from the mysterious Power of Creation that surpassed high-level Powers of Creation.

That was also the reason why he decisively handed over the stone. Rebellious Transcendent King felt that even if he was given another era, or even ten eras, he would almost never comprehend the Power of Creation within the stone.

"A Power of Creation that surpasses high-level Powers of Creation?" Lin Yuan carefully observed the irregular stone.

Compared to Rebellious Transcendent King's limited cognition, Lin Yuan, coming from the Main World, understood the essence of cosmic power. He knew that surpassing high-level cosmic power was a power that only Ninth Evolutionaries could master.

Lin Yuan carefully observed the irregular stone.

[Your comprehension is extraordinary, observing the mysterious origin, and your mastery of its power is deepening.]

"The mysterious origin," Lin Yuan pondered.

One thing was certain: the aura contained within this irregular stone indeed surpassed that of high-level Powers of Creation.

After observing for a while, if it were any other high-level Power of Creation, there would at least be some gain. But facing this irregularly shaped stone, there was still no harvest.

Of course, the "no harvest" here meant the gains were too small to be perceived.

"The Ninth Heavenly Realm."

Lin Yuan put away the irregular stone and looked up at the entrance to the Ninth Heavenly Realm in the distance.

Compared to the entrances of the previous eight heavens, the entrance to the Ninth Heavenly Realm was incredibly spacious, as if welcoming all the Supreme Transcendent Kings.

However, having probed Rebellious Transcendent King's memories, Lin Yuan knew that the tribulation leading to the Ninth Heavenly Realm was terrifying.

Inside the entrance to the Ninth Heavenly Realm lay the life imprints of the ten strongest Supreme Transcendent Kings in the history of the spiritual realm.

In other words, to enter the Ninth Heavenly Realm, one must defeat the ten strongest Supreme Transcendent Kings since the birth of the spiritual realm.

Actually, describing them as the ten strongest Supreme Transcendent Kings was somewhat inaccurate.

It should be the ten strongest lives.

Because perhaps some of the Supreme Transcendent Kings had already taken a half step beyond.

The Prehistoric Era, the Three Thousand Daoist States.

These were just the two most recent eras.

Before these two eras, there were even older eras.

No one knew when the spiritual realm was born, and although the Supreme Transcendent Kings coexisted with the spiritual realm, it didn't mean they couldn't die.

Not to mention the end of the Prehistoric Era, which saw the death of a large number of Supreme Transcendent Kings.

"With Martial Ancestor's strength, you can completely challenge the entrance to the Ninth Heavenly Realm," Rebellious Transcendent King said softly.

He had tried to challenge it, but couldn't even defeat the life imprint of the first Supreme Transcendent King. He was almost crushed and had to retreat reluctantly.

"Do you want to see me challenge it?" Lin Yuan glanced at Rebellious Transcendent King. "No rush."

Even Lin Yuan wouldn't underestimate the ten strongest lives in the history of the spiritual realm.

It wasn't about an era or a epoch, but since the birth of the spiritual realm.

Lin Yuan would indeed challenge the entrance to the Ninth Heavenly Realm, but not now. He would attempt it when his strength reached its peak.

Currently, although Lin Yuan surpassed Rebellious Transcendent King and other strongest Transcendent Kings of an era, he was far from reaching his own limit.

The green liquid in the mysterious gourd could still continue to absorb.

The eighth level of the martial evolution system had not been fully opened up.

The complete Core Space Model has not been comprehended.

The cultivation of Tai Chi Power has also not reached the Triple Realm.

The remaining several major high-level Powers of Creation, along with numerous ordinary Powers of Creation, are only at the First Realm.

Then there's the irregular stone obtained from Rebellious Transcendent King, containing a mysterious Power of Creation that surpasses even the Super Powers of Creation.

Just because Rebellious Transcendent King couldn't comprehend it doesn't mean Lin Yuan can't; it's just a matter of how much time it will take.

Lin Yuan's maximum potential is still far away.

And this time, Lin Yuan's maximum stay is over nine hundred years, but only over four hundred years have passed.

Before understanding what unexpected events might occur upon entering the entrance to the Ninth Heavenly Realm, Lin Yuan naturally won't easily go in.

Rebellious Transcendent King retreated soon after entering because he faced the first life imprint.

That's why he had room to turn back.

Lin Yuan isn't sure if, upon failing to enter deeper life imprints, he could still retreat.

In such a scenario, Lin Yuan naturally prioritizes caution.

Other Supreme Transcendent Kings crave to ascend to the Ninth Heavenly Realm because they want to take that step forward.

Lin Yuan doesn't have this desire; with many perfected evolution paths in the main world, Lin Yuan has many directions to reach the Ninth Rank.

What he needs to do now is calmly spend the remaining time and turn it into gains to bring back to the main world.

"Oh, right."

"All of your Powers of Creation, give me a strand each," Lin Yuan commanded, scanning Rebellious Transcendent King and other Supreme Transcendent Kings of the Prehistoric Era.

"Yes."

Rebellious Transcendent King hesitated for a moment; although he didn't know what Lin Yuan needed so many Powers of Creation for, he didn't dare to ask too much and obediently gave a strand of his mastered Power of Creation.

"Not bad, not bad."

Lin Yuan looked at the dozens of additional strands of Powers of Creation, including several high-level Powers of Creation he had never seen before, feeling quite satisfied.

Like this, Lin Yuan's true body remained stationed in front of the entrance to the Ninth Heavenly Realm, once again entering seclusion to comprehend the Dao.

Time passed.

Five hundred years flew by like flowing water.

Chapter 269: The Strongest Life Form Since the Birth of the Spirit Realm (Seeking Subscriptions)

Xiaoyao City, Lin Family Residence.

Lin Yuan sat facing Lin Jianping and Shen Zhen, eating spiritual meals and chatting.

Over the past five hundred years, the fame of Martial Ancestor had spread throughout the Three Thousand Dao States, even the strongest Transcendent King of the prehistoric era, Rebellious Transcendent King, had willingly submitted.

However, very few people knew that Martial Ancestor's parents, a result intentionally suppressed by Lin Yuan.

With his limited stay in the Spirit Realm, Lin Yuan couldn't always protect Lin Jianping and Shen Zhen, so he could only try to keep them 'separated' from Martial Ancestor as much as possible.

"Changer, taste this spiritual meal," Shen Zhen smiled, and Lin Jianping beside him was also very interested.

After the three finished eating, Lin Yuan remained silent for a while before saying, "I may not be back for a long time."

With only a little over ten years left before the maximum stay, according to Lin Yuan's plan, this should be the last time he sees Lin Jianping and Shen Zhen.

"A long time?" Lin Jianping and Shen Zhen looked a little disappointed, but they had anticipated it. Lin Yuan was just too outstanding, overlooking the Three Thousand Dao States, hailed as the strongest of the era.

Such a great existence would surely have more important matters to attend to.

"Changer, you can rest assured to do your thing; we're both very satisfied with our current life," Lin Jianping said.

If it weren't for Lin Yuan, their Lin family would still be a small family in Xiaoyao City, nowhere near their current transcendent status.

"If you need help, go to Li Qing; she will arrange it," Lin Yuan nodded.

Leaving the Lin Family Residence, Lin Yuan walked on the streets of Xiaoyao City.

Five hundred years had passed, and Xiaoyao City had long become the most prosperous center of the Eastern Cloud Dao State.

The city had undergone dozens of expansions, covering an area of millions of square miles.

Every day, many True Immortals and even Half-Step Transcendent Kings came and went, and there were even traces of Transcendent Kings undergoing tribulations.

The Martial Dao cultivation system had also spread throughout the Three Thousand Dao States, not inferior to the Immortal Dao cultivation system.

In fact, in the dozens of Dao States centered around Xiaoyao City, the Martial Dao cultivation system could even overshadow the Immortal Dao cultivation system.

It could be said that the prosperity of the Martial Dao cultivation system had reached its peak, and even those Tribulation-Transcendent Kings and Transcendent Kings didn't dare to disturb it.

"My current strength has reached a certain limit," Lin Yuan thought to himself.

Over two hundred years ago, Lin Yuan had completely perfected the fourth stage of the Martial Dao Eight Stage Chapter.

With this, the Eight Stage Chapter was considered opened up. As for the subsequent Nine Stage Chapter, Lin Yuan had also begun to try to integrate the Tai Chi rules into the spatial rules, making some progress, and currently achieving about twenty to thirty percent integration.

In addition, Lin Yuan had already comprehended over five thousand five hundred core spatial models.

In five hundred years, Lin Yuan had comprehended over nine hundred core spatial models, much less efficient than the previous three hundred years when he comprehended over sixteen hundred core spatial models.

But it's worth noting that among the seven thousand seven hundred and eighty-two core spatial models, the further you go, the harder it gets to comprehend. Many Peak Eighth Rank Evolvers were stuck on a certain spatial model for thousands or tens of thousands of years.

Lin Yuan had comprehended nearly a thousand core spatial models in just five hundred years, almost without any bottlenecks, which could be described as abnormal.

"With over two thousand core spatial models left, I can completely master the complete spatial rules," Lin Yuan thought.

The spatial rules were the pillar rules of the main world, and many Ninth Rank powerhouses had yet to master them. Although in theory, Eighth Rankers could theoretically master the complete spatial rules.

But that was just theoretical.

In the long history of the universe of the main world, which Eighth Ranker had achieved such a theory?

Breaking through from the Eighth Rank to the Ninth Rank required the fusion of rules, but as the spatial rules were pillar rules, they didn't need to be completely mastered to be integrated.

At the Eighth Rank level, trying to comprehend the spatial rules, like trying to comprehend more cosmic powers, was an extremely time-consuming act, and it might delay the breakthrough to the Ninth Rank.

"Five thousand five hundred core spatial rules are enough to support a world with a radius of seven million five hundred thousand miles. Plus the thirteen-fold basic boost from absorbing the liquid in the mysterious gourd."

"Now the size of my internal world has exceeded ninety-seven million five hundred thousand square miles, close to a hundred million square miles."

The green liquid in the mysterious gourd was much harder to absorb than the previous three, and Lin Yuan had just absorbed about ninety-nine percent of it in five hundred years.

In theory, absorbing the previous four liquids in the mysterious gourd would increase the size of the internal world by a factor of thirteen point three two.

Now Lin Yuan had already reached thirteen times, so he was not far from completely absorbing the green liquid.

"The Power of Creation," Lin Yuan thought of the biggest gain from this journey.

Many of the previous gains could be achieved anywhere for Lin Yuan, not just in the Spirit Realm.

But the Power of Creation, only when the Spirit Realm loosened its suppression on such cosmic powers and with the cooperation of the Transcendent Kings, could Lin Yuan's understanding of the Power of Creation be said to have made rapid progress.

"So far, I have mastered twelve high-level Powers of Creation and over sixty ordinary Powers of Creation."

Actually, in the past three to four hundred years, Lin Yuan has basically given up on comprehending ordinary Powers of Creation.

This is because high-level Powers of Creation more or less encompass the essence of ordinary Powers of Creation. Understanding a certain high-level Power of Creation completely surpasses comprehending dozens of ordinary Powers of Creation.

"Twelve high-level Powers of Creation."

Lin Yuan's eyes were slightly heated, not focused on these twelve high-level Powers of Creation, but sensing the Power of Creation in his internal world that exuded the original aura.

This Power of Creation was precisely what Lin Yuan comprehended from the treasure he obtained from Rebellious Transcendent King when it fell from the Ninth Heavenly Layer.

The end of the prehistoric era was related to this treasure in the shape of a stone.

Rebellious Transcendent King speculated that this treasure contained a mysterious power surpassing high-level Powers of Creation. However, Rebellious Transcendent King spent who knows how much time, even occupying the Eighth Heavenly Layer, but didn't comprehend a bit of it.

"Primordial Power." Lin Yuan's heart was burning. With his extraordinary talent, it took him more than four hundred years to comprehend it from that treasure.

Lin Yuan named this type of Power of Creation as Primordial Power, symbolizing the initial power of all things.

Even the Primordial Power of the First Realm could suppress high-level Powers of Creation of the Third Realm. Even Lin Yuan was somewhat shocked by the power of this Power of Creation.

"Only over ten years of residency time left. It's time to venture into the Ninth Heavenly Layer." Lin Yuan made a decision in his heart, which was also the reason he bid farewell to his parents.

Even if he continued to cultivate for over a decade, it wouldn't be of much help to him. In that case, it was better to enter the legendary Ninth Heavenly Layer to take a look.

In the Hall of Martial Temples.

Lin Yuan sat on the main seat, while dozens of Martial Temple powerhouses stood respectfully below.

Over the past five hundred years, along with the previous three hundred years, under Lin Yuan's intentional cultivation, eight Seventh Realm cultivators had emerged in the Martial Dao cultivation system.

As for Li Qing, who was Lin Yuan's direct disciple in the mortal realm of Zhongtu, she had even opened up her own internal world and stepped into the Eighth Realm of Martial Dao.

"Martial Ancestor."

Dozens of Martial Temple powerhouses spoke fervently, bowing to Lin Yuan.

"For hundreds of years, Martial Dao cultivators have been emerging endlessly, and there have been frequent incidents of suppressing Immortal Dao cultivators. But from today onwards, you need to tone it down," Lin Yuan said calmly, sweeping his gaze over everyone.

"Martial Ancestor is the strongest in the Three Thousand Dao States. Why should we tone it down when even the Tribulation-Transcendent Kings treat Martial Ancestor with such respect?" a young Seventh Realm martial artist asked softly.

Lin Yuan glanced at him.

This Seventh Realm martial artist had rare Martial Dao talent and was on the path of thunder, adept at comprehending the Path of Destruction Thunder in terms of attack.

"From today onwards, I won't return to the Three Thousand Dao States. You'll have to rely on yourselves from now on. If you don't tone it down, you'll suffer," Lin Yuan said indifferently.

With Li Qing, a Eighth Realm Martial Dao cultivator, sitting here, plus the power Lin Yuan left behind, even if he really disappeared, the Martial Dao cultivation system wouldn't have any problems for at least millions or tens of millions of years.

The reason Lin Yuan said this was to remind these Martial Temple powerhouses.

"Where is Martial Ancestor going?"

The faces of the other Martial Temple powerhouses changed. Martial Ancestor said he wouldn't return to the Three Thousand Dao States. What did that mean?

"In any case, take care of yourselves." Lin Yuan didn't explain much. Although he could reappear in the Spirit Realm by consuming ten strands of Boundary Breaking Source Force, he wouldn't do so unless it was absolutely necessary. Even if the Martial Temples were destroyed in the future, as long as the Martial Dao cultivation system continued to spread, Lin Yuan wouldn't bother to intervene.

The Eighth Heavenly Layer.

Rebellious Transcendent King, Primordial Transcendent King, and other Supreme Transcendent Kings gathered at the entrance to the Ninth Heavenly Layer.

"Martial Ancestor notified us to come here. What's the matter?"

"Could it be that he wants to venture into the Ninth Heavenly Layer?"

"Martial Ancestor's strength is extraordinary; he might indeed have the ability to enter the Ninth Heavenly Layer."

"The entrance to the Ninth Heavenly Layer contains the imprints of the ten strongest life forms since the birth of the Spirit Realm. Although Martial Ancestor is indeed powerful, compared to the strongest ten powerhouses in history..."

The Supreme Transcendent Kings whispered softly. The history of the Spirit Realm couldn't be traced, but in the early ancient eras, there were even terrifying existences born together with the heavens and earth.

Even if Martial Ancestor was extraordinary, compared to those powerhouses born with the heavens and earth, he might still pale in comparison.

At that moment,

Lin Yuan's figure appeared silently.

"Martial Ancestor."

"Martial Ancestor."

"Martial Ancestor."

Rebellious Transcendent King and other Supreme Transcendent Kings immediately stopped their exchanges and bowed slightly to Martial Ancestor.

"If you want to watch, just stay here and watch." Lin Yuan glanced at the many Supreme Transcendent Kings.

After saying this,

Lin Yuan disappeared from sight.

Appearing inside the entrance to the Ninth Heavenly Layer.

"Is Martial Ancestor really going to venture into the Ninth Heavenly Layer?"

"Hurry, this is something that might not even happen in an era."

"I wonder, which level of the Ninth Heavenly Layer Martial Ancestor can reach."

Many Supreme Transcendent Kings became excited and quickly started discussing.

The entrance passage to the Ninth Heavenly Layer is divided into ten levels.

Each level has a life imprint, totaling ten life imprints.

These ten life imprints come from the ten most powerful life forms since the birth of the Spirit Realm.

"Although I have the strength of the strongest Transcendent King of the prehistoric era, I have no power to resist against the first level life imprint. Can Martial Ancestor defeat the first level life imprint?"

Rebellious Transcendent King was somewhat hopeful.

Five hundred years ago, he faced Martial Ancestor and knew he was not a match, so he didn't resist and willingly submitted.

Rebellious Transcendent King only knew that Martial Ancestor was very strong, but how strong exactly was unknown to him. Now he could take advantage of Martial Ancestor venturing into the Ninth Heavenly Layer to see what kind of strength Martial Ancestor really had.

"First level life imprint."

As Lin Yuan entered the entrance passage, clouds and mist swirled around, quickly condensing into a humanoid figure.

This figure was wearing red armor and stood there as if the great sun of the Spirit Realm was shining, radiating endless light and heat.

Although the first level life imprint at the entrance to the Ninth Heavenly Layer was the weakest of the ten life imprints,

it was still one of the top ten existences among countless strong beings since the birth of the Spirit Realm.

Even someone like Rebellious Transcendent King, the strongest of an era, had no resistance against the other party and would be easily defeated and crushed.

"You."

The figure in red armor looked down at Lin Yuan. Revived by the life imprint, he only possessed the instinct to fight, with no emotions.

Outside the passage,

Rebellious Transcendent King and other Supreme Transcendent Kings widened their eyes.

From the battle between Martial Ancestor and the first level life imprint, one could almost see Martial Ancestor's true combat power.

"I wonder how many moves Martial Ancestor can hold on for." Rebellious Transcendent King observed carefully. In his view, what should come next would be a tug-of-war. Even if Martial Ancestor could win, it would be a narrow victory, and it was very likely that he wouldn't win at all.

Inside the entrance passage,

Lin Yuan also scrutinized his opponent.

"Don't recognize you." Lin Yuan shook his head slightly. Throughout the ages of the Spirit Realm, countless strong beings had vanished into history. Lin Yuan knew most about the era of the Three Thousand Dao Regions and had some knowledge of the prehistoric era, but he knew very little about the stronger beings from more distant eras.

"I've mastered all the manifested forces." Lin Yuan immediately felt a lack of interest, intending to end the battle quickly.

Boom.

Lin Yuan raised his right hand and pressed forward.

Terrifying world power surged out. The figure in red armor only resisted for an instant before being crushed by the immense world power.

With Lin Yuan's nearly hundred-million-mile-wide internal world, augmented by many manifested forces, his power had reached a terrifying level. He didn't even need any special techniques to overwhelm his opponents.

"What?"

"Is it over already?"

"Martial Ancestor is too strong."

Outside the passage, many Supreme Transcendent Kings were dumbfounded.

They had been speculating about how many moves Martial Ancestor could last before being defeated, but the reality was completely different. The tenth-ranked life form in the history of the Spirit Realm hadn't even lasted a single move against Martial Ancestor.

"Martial Ancestor." Rebellious Transcendent King couldn't believe it either. He had attempted to pass the first level and knew the terror of this life imprint. Yet, this powerful being transformed by the life imprint appeared as fragile as a baby before Martial Ancestor.

Inside the entrance passage, Lin Yuan pierced through the first level and quickly arrived at the second level.

Then came the third, fourth, and fifth levels.

These beings transformed by the life imprints were not limited to the human race; there were true dragons, heavenly winds, qilins, and many other terrifying creatures.

These beings completely surpassed Supreme Transcendent Kings, but before Lin Yuan, they were as fragile as ants, no different from the red-armored figure of the first level.

One move pierced through.

Soon,

Lin Yuan arrived at the tenth level.

The life form on this level was the strongest since the birth of the Spirit Realm, without exception.

Amidst the swirling mist, Lin Yuan stood waiting.

Before long, a tall figure emerged from the depths of the mist.

This tall figure had a youthful face, with boundless energy and blood coursing through his body, endless and unstoppable.

Chapter 270: Where Are They? (Subscribe Please)

Outside the passage,

Rebellious Transcendent King and many other Supreme Transcendent Kings were dumbfounded.

They initially thought that after Martial Ancestor defeated the opponent on the first level with one move, he would need to engage in a struggle against successive opponents.

But for Martial Ancestor, the opponent on the first level was just a warm-up.

All the opponents on the second and third levels were pierced through with a single move.

How could this be possible?

Could it be that the strength of all the opponents on the first, second, and third levels was the same?

Many Transcendent Kings quickly realized that this was impossible.

The only possibility was that Martial Ancestor was too strong.

For example, even Transcendent Kings like Rebellious Transcendent King, when facing ordinary Transcendent Kings, whether they were beginners or at their peak, could defeat them with just one move.

"Oh my god, that's the Ancestor Dragon, the progenitor of all true dragons in the Spirit Realm, born since the opening of the Spirit Realm until disappearing into endless ages."

Some Supreme Transcendent Kings saw Martial Ancestor's opponent on the seventh level, a million-foot true dragon with golden horns emitting a noble aura.

The Ancestor Dragon was the ancestor of all beings with true dragon bloodlines in the Spirit Realm. It was said that the Ancestor Dragon intentionally infused its bloodline into all living beings.

Even though the Ancestor Dragon had disappeared for countless millennia, true dragon bloodlines still continued to exist.

In the Three Thousand Dao Regions, the Nine Rivers Region was a "Land of Dragon Prosperity," where a Dragon King in the Crossing Tribulation Realm was born.

Of course, that Dragon King couldn't compare to the Ancestor Dragon at all. When the former saw the latter, he didn't even need to make a move; he was completely suppressed by the innate gap in bloodline.

The Ancestor Dragon was too famous, and with its bloodline still circulating in the Spirit Realm, it hadn't disappeared into history. Therefore, many Supreme Transcendent Kings recognized it at first sight.

In fact, the Ancestor Dragon's strength was indeed terrifying, located on the seventh level of the entrance to the Ninth Heaven passage.

In other words, in the Spirit Realm's reckoning, the Ancestor Dragon was the fourth strongest life form since the birth of the Spirit Realm.

However, in the eyes of many Supreme Transcendent Kings, the mighty and invincible Ancestor Dragon was pierced through by Martial Ancestor's fist, shattering its body with the residual force.

Many Transcendent Kings fell silent.

Rebellious Transcendent King's gaze was dull.

"That's the Ancestor Phoenix. I didn't expect the Ancestor Phoenix to be even stronger than the Ancestor Dragon, located on the third level."

When Lin Yuan entered the eighth level, many Supreme Transcendent Kings once again focused their attention and began discussing the opponent on this level.

The Ancestor Phoenix was similar to the Ancestor Dragon, both being powerful beings born at the beginning of the Spirit Realm and infusing their bloodlines into all living beings.

Many places in the Three Thousand Dao Regions had Phoenix Nests, nurturing many lives with phoenix bloodlines.

Although the Ancestor Phoenix sparked discussions among many Supreme Transcendent Kings, they couldn't help but sigh inwardly when they thought about the fate of the Ancestor Dragon just now.

As expected,

Faced with the mighty Ancestor Phoenix, Lin Yuan once again punched, tearing apart the phoenix's body and entering the ninth level.

Soon,

He entered the tenth level.

At this level, all the Supreme Transcendent Kings, including Rebellious Transcendent King, who had already fallen into self-doubt, were suddenly shocked.

The tenth level.

It was the final level leading to the passage of the Ninth Heaven.

It was also where the life imprint of the strongest life form since the birth of the Spirit Realm was located.

The difficulty of passing this level was extremely high.

It wasn't the strongest life form of an era, nor of an epoch.

It was the strongest life form since the birth of the Spirit Realm.

It could be inferred that the strongest life form since the birth of the Spirit Realm would inevitably have a huge gap compared to the second and third strongest life forms.

"I wonder what the strongest life form since the birth of the Spirit Realm looks like?"

Many Supreme Transcendent Kings closely watched the tenth level while also conversing.

"Is it our human race?"

"It shouldn't be. Look at the seventh, eighth, and ninth levels. None of those life forms are from the human race. Compared to races like the Dragon and Phoenix, which are naturally powerful, our human race doesn't have any advantages."

The Supreme Transcendent Kings expressed their opinions.

If it weren't for the passage of time and the disappearance of those powerful ancestors with strong bloodlines, the rulers of the recent epochs might not have been human race Transcendent Kings.

"I guess it's similar to the Dragon and Phoenix, born from the beginning of heaven and earth, powerful beings."

One Transcendent King spoke, eliciting agreement from other Transcendent Kings.

While all the Supreme Transcendent Kings were conversing,

In the tenth level of the entrance passage, a figure emerged from the depths of the clouds.

This figure was humanoid, with sleeves fluttering. Just standing there, it emitted an incomparably terrifying aura, with blood energy circulating, covering the Three Thousand Dao Regions.

"Martial Ancestor. Is that Martial Ancestor?"

"The life imprint on the tenth level is actually Martial Ancestor?"

"Is Martial Ancestor... the strongest life form since the birth of the Spirit Realm?"

The Supreme Transcendent Kings on the field were instantly stirred up.

Since the birth of the Spirit Realm, the strongest life form—what a lofty title! It never even crossed their minds that this most powerful life form would be none other than Martial Ancestor, who lived in the same era as them.

"Indeed, easily piercing through the opponents on the first nine levels, Martial Ancestor."

Rebellious Transcendent King muttered to himself.

The opponents on the first nine levels were not even worthy adversaries for Martial Ancestor.

If Martial Ancestor isn't the strongest life form since the birth of the Spirit Realm, then who is?

"The strongest life form since the birth of the Spirit Realm? I never imagined I would have the honor to encounter such a formidable being."

"Yeah, surpassing the Ancestor Dragon and Ancestor Phoenix, Martial Ancestor is truly abnormal."

The Supreme Transcendent Kings were deeply impressed.

But then,

Many Supreme Transcendent Kings thought,

Martial Ancestor might be the strongest life form since the birth of the Spirit Realm, possessing unquestionable strength and killing power.

But could this kind of power defeat Martial Ancestor himself?

"It's unfair. There's simply no possibility of passing through this Ninth Heaven entrance."

"Yeah, it's not even possible to pass the first level, let alone the ten strongest life forms since the birth of the Spirit Realm."

"The strongest life form since the birth of the Spirit Realm has to fight against its own life imprint?"

"How can one win?"

All the Supreme Transcendent Kings began discussing.

The opponents formed by life imprints would not suffer any damage to their combat prowess. They could utilize all the abilities, talents, and techniques of their original selves.

This was why the Supreme Transcendent Kings reacted so strongly. For any powerful individual, defeating an enemy was feasible, but defeating oneself?

How could that be achieved?

Furthermore, the opponents formed by life imprints had no emotions, only combat instincts, making them even more formidable.

Of course, since both sides possessed identical abilities, it was almost impossible for either side to defeat the other.

"This Ninth Heaven is not intended for us to pass through at all," Rebellious Transcendent King sighed, looking at Martial Ancestor standing on the tenth level.

The tenth level.

Lin Yuan looked at the opponent on this level.

It was identical to himself in every way, with the same aura, blood energy fluctuations, and even a faint hint of the aura of the inner world.

The only difference was that the opponent's gaze was indifferent and cold, like that of a machine.

"This Spirit Realm..."

Lin Yuan shook his head slightly. Although he hadn't actively integrated his own life imprint into the Spirit Realm, as long as one existed and had intervened in the Spirit Realm to a certain extent, their strength would be automatically recorded by the Spirit Realm as a life imprint.

As Lin Yuan stood there,

The 'Martial Ancestor' condensed from the life imprint made the first move.

These formidable beings formed by life imprints had no emotions or thoughts; their only goal was to defeat Lin Yuan.

Boom!

A terrifying aura directly pierced through the entrance of the first nine levels, spreading towards the Eighth Heaven.

"So powerful?"

"Martial Ancestor breezed through the first eight levels without using much effort."

The Supreme Transcendent Kings felt their scalps tingling and immediately began to exert all their strength.

The Martial Ancestor and the 'Martial Ancestor' on the tenth level merely exchanging blows resulted in shockwaves that, even after passing through the nine levels, still felt like the collapse of heaven and earth when they reached the Eighth Heaven.

One can imagine,

If the battlefield were not on the tenth level but on the Eighth Heaven, the entire Eighth Heaven would probably be destroyed.

It might even affect the Seventh Heaven and the Sixth Heaven.

This is simply unimaginable.

It's worth noting that even at the end of the prehistoric era, when Supreme Transcendent Kings and other transcendent beings fought to the death, their battles merely affected the surface of the Spirit Realm.

As for the Ninth Heaven, not even the First Heaven was affected.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

In the battlefield on the tenth level, Lin Yuan and the 'Martial Ancestor' exchanged blows hundreds of times in an instant.

Whether it was the martial arts cultivation system, various powers of creation, or even the primal power surpassing the higher powers of creation, as well as the power of the inner world extending for nearly a billion miles—anything Lin Yuan possessed, the opponent had it all.

"This is troublesome," Lin Yuan furrowed his brow slightly.

The opponent 'Martial Ancestor' was strong and not strong at the same time.

Lin Yuan felt it wasn't strong because the opponent was a replication of himself, and who in the world understood him better than himself?

But in this situation, the opponent 'Martial Ancestor' had no chance of defeating Lin Yuan, yet Lin Yuan found it difficult to defeat the opponent.

"Unfortunately, my strength is still too low," Lin Yuan shook his head slightly.

There is a limit to the replication of life imprints at the entrance of the Ninth Heaven.

For example, it is definitely impossible to replicate a complete powerhouse.

It's just that Lin Yuan's current strength cannot be compared to the entire Spirit Realm. With an inner world extending for nearly a billion miles, it's not even comparable to a domain in the Spirit Realm. So, replicating everything about Lin Yuan was relatively easy.

"Should I try the physical divine ability 'Enhancement'?"

Lin Yuan secretly pondered.

The physical divine ability 'Enhancement' was the divine ability awakened by the physical body Lin Yuan descended with this time.

Once activated, everything about oneself, including physical body, energy, soul, and mind, would be increased tenfold.

Of course, it could only last for ten breaths, after which Lin Yuan would experience a period of weakness.

Since the side effects of 'Enhancement' made it a last resort, Lin Yuan had never tried it since awakening this divine ability. Because there was no need—none of the opponents he encountered had ever forced him to the point of needing to use this divine ability.

Due to the side effects of 'Enhancement,' this divine ability could only be used as a last-ditch effort.

"What if the opponent has also replicated 'Enhancement'?" Lin Yuan looked at the opponent 'Martial Ancestor.'

Then, suddenly erupting, at the cost of his left arm, Lin Yuan shattered the opponent's right arm.

Swish.

The physical divine ability 'Blood Rebirth' activated automatically, and Lin Yuan's left arm quickly recovered.

Lin Yuan looked at the opponent 'Martial Ancestor' and found that the opponent's right arm was also rapidly recovering.

"Drip Rebirth is also replicated, I'm sure 'Enhancement' is also replicated," Lin Yuan immediately understood.

Knowing that once he used the divine ability 'Enhancement,' the opponent would probably use the 'Enhancement' divine ability in an instant.

Although this divine ability had the effect of amplifying everything by ten times, if everyone was amplified, it was equivalent to no one being amplified.

The entrance to the Ninth Heaven, on the Eighth Heaven.

Although the two 'Martial Ancestors' fought fiercely, causing shockwaves to ripple through the Eighth Heaven, the field was filled with Supreme Transcendent Kings who were able to support each other, so they could hold on for a while longer and were unwilling to give up watching the battle on the tenth level.

The battle of the strongest life form since the birth of the Spirit Realm might not happen again after today, so all the Supreme Transcendent Kings, even at the risk of their lives, wanted to see it through.

"Although Lord Martial Ancestor is not at a disadvantage, he is not at an advantage either. If this continues, the situation will only become deadlocked," whispered the Martial Ancestor of Disorder. Although the battle between the two Martial Ancestors was at a high level, the basic advantages and disadvantages could still be discerned.

"There are always better people outside of people, better days outside of days. However, this Ninth Heaven is simply unreachable. Even Martial Ancestor, the strongest life form in history, struggles so much. Who else can ascend?" Some Supreme Transcendent Kings sounded disheartened, feeling that their pursuit of the Ninth Heaven was nothing but a fantasy.

"There are always better people outside of people, better days outside of days," the Martial Ancestor of Disorder fell silent.

This phrase had been circulating for who knows how long, and it even had other meanings in the three thousand Dao Provinces.

That is, there are always stronger people outside of the strong. Even Supreme Transcendent Kings are not invincible.

And at this moment, it seemed appropriate to use it here. Even the strongest life form in history, Martial Ancestor, was blocked on the tenth level.

Even if Martial Ancestor broke through the tenth level and entered the Ninth Heaven, he might encounter even stronger opponents.

The tenth level.

Lin Yuan continued to fight against the opponent 'Martial Ancestor.'

"The only way to defeat the opponent is to use means that cannot be replicated," Lin Yuan's mind was calm, but his eyes were shining.

"Cannot be replicated."

Lin Yuan looked at the opponent 'Martial Ancestor,' "You have everything of mine, but can you have my insight?"

Lin Yuan's extraordinary insight came from the Door of the Myriad Realms, and the Door of the Myriad Realms transcended even the strongest beings. Even the Spirit Realm could not replicate the strongest beings, let alone replicate the Door of the Myriad Realms?

[Your extraordinary insight, combined with the battle against the opponent, gradually reveals the opponent's weaknesses]

In an instant, many flaws of the opponent Martial Ancestor appeared in Lin Yuan's realization.

"Primal Power."

Lin Yuan mobilized the power of the world, merging it with the primal power that surpassed the higher powers of creation, forming a terrifying blow that instantly pierced through the opponent 'Martial Ancestor.'

With this, the battle ended.

The opponent Martial Ancestor stood dumbfounded in place.

His inner world began to collapse, rapidly collapsing under Lin Yuan's blow, and his flesh began to turn into dust.

Crash.

The opponent on the tenth level disappeared.

Lin Yuan took a step forward and disappeared into the tenth level.

The Ninth Heaven.

The sea of clouds churned.

Boundless.

Lin Yuan stood alone on the mountaintop.

"People always say there are better people outside of people, better days outside of days, and even on the Ninth Heaven, there are heavenly beings."

Lin Yuan surveyed the surroundings, with all living beings under his feet, standing alone on the mountaintop, overlooking the world, as if he were the only one.

"But where are the people?"
