Chapter 187: The Second Red Kun Star Lord, the Convening of the Star Alliance Conference

Chapter 187: The Second Red Kun Star Lord, the Convening of the Star Alliance Conference (Seeking Subscriptions)

Wanyang Holy Son was somewhat dazed.

He almost thought he had misheard.

But at his level, it was simply impossible to mishear.

The black-haired elder had indeed said 'It is the Thirteenth Peak Lord who has stepped into the Seventh-Order.'

There was no doubt about this.

Therefore, Wanyang Holy Son could only think, could the black-haired elder have said it wrong?

For example, did he say an extra word 'Three', and it was actually the Tenth Peak Lord who stepped into the Seventh-Order?

"Your Highness, when I first received this news, I also felt it was absurd, but after verification, confirmed it many times, it is indeed this result."

The black-haired elder said cautiously.

He knew very well how much Wanyang Holy Son desired to battle the Thirteenth Peak Lord. The impact of that challenge at the fifth-order limit on Wanyang Holy Son was too great.

All along, Wanyang Holy Son had been sailing smoothly, possessing the 'Nine Yang Divine Vein', coupled with the cultivation of the Wan Yang Star Master.

It allowed Wanyang Holy Son to lead contemporary Evolvers by an unknown margin.

However.

On that arena.

The Thirteenth Peak Lord shattered Wanyang Holy Son's confidence with three slaps.

That crushing battle caused Wanyang Holy Son to admit defeat and directly enter seclusion to Breakthrough to the sixth-order.

Compared to other Evolvers, Wanyang Holy Son's 'Nine Yang Divine Vein' would undergo a transformation after stepping into the sixth-order, which other sixth-order Evolvers did not possess.

Precisely because of this.

Knowing full well that Lin Yuan's strength was terrifying, and that the combat power displayed at the fifth-order limit would only become even more terrifying after breaking through to the sixth-order,

Wanyang Holy Son still confidently initiated a challenge application.

It was just that Lin Yuan's multiple rejections left Wanyang Holy Son somewhat puzzled.

But now.

Wanyang Holy Son remained silent.

His consciousness began connecting to the virtual network.

Soon, he saw the announcement issued by the Chi Kun lineage.

Beneath the announcement, there were countless messages from Evolvers, all expressing shock over the Thirteenth Peak Lord stepping into the seventh-order.

Wanyang Holy Son carefully read the announcement.

After reading it over several more times, he sat back down.

"Thirteenth Peak Lord."

Wanyang Holy Son's gaze was complex.

He did not doubt the authenticity of the announcement.

Such an announcement issued by the Chi Kun lineage possessed extremely high authority; it had been confirmed multiple times and finally authorized by the Star Lord before being published.

Since the Chi Kun lineage dared to issue this announcement and it had not been changed for so long,

It meant that the Peak Lord who stepped into the seventh-order was definitely the Thirteenth Peak Lord.

With the status of the Red Kun Star Lord, there was no need to lie about this; who stepped into the seventh-order would easily be seen afterwards.

"How could it be so fast?"

Wanyang Holy Son was somewhat dazed. Stepping into the seventh-order wasn't something one could do just by wanting to; it required sufficient accumulation and one's own foundation.

Wanyang Holy Son considered his foundational accumulation to be sufficient, but attempting to impact the seventh-order Realm would still take at least ten or even decades.

This was still because after Wanyang Holy Son was born, he was sealed into the 'Wanyang True Crystal' and then thrown into a star to slumber for nearly a hundred years.

Equivalent to those hundred years, Wanyang Holy Son was in a state of cultivation at all times.

It was just that all those cultivations were transformed into foundation, waiting to be gradually released after Wanyang Holy Son stepped into the sixth-order.

"I actually still wanted to challenge him?"

Wanyang Holy Son wore a somewhat mocking smile. He had previously wondered why the Thirteenth Peak Lord repeatedly rejected his applications.

Could it be out of fear?

Now it seemed that the Thirteenth Peak Lord probably felt that accepting the challenge was bullying him.

"Your Highness, are… are you alright?"

The black-haired elder asked tentatively, deeply worried that with Wanyang Holy Son's pride, he might become utterly demoralized because of this.

"Don't worry about me."

Wanyang Holy Son shook his head.

Looking at the black-haired elder, he said, "Go apply to the teacher for a piece of 'Wanyang True Crystal'; I want to enter the interior of the star to Cultivate again."

The temperature inside a star is countless times that of its surface. With his Physique, Wanyang Holy Son could manage to stay on the surface of a star for a period of time.

But if he dared to enter the interior of a star, that would be seeking death.

However,

Since he could not endure the high temperature inside the star on his own, he could borrow external objects,

For example, the 'Wanyang True Crystal', a fire-type rare treasure of this kind, which could help Wanyang Holy Son go deep into the star.

With the terrifying heat and flames inside the star, even with the buffering and isolation of the Wanyang True Crystal, Wanyang Holy Son would still endure endless pain, and the slightest carelessness would turn him to ashes.

When Wanyang Holy Son was just born, being sealed into the 'Wanyang True Crystal' and thrown into the interior of a star was because the Wan Yang Star Master used other means.

But those means could not be cast a second time, so now, even with the protection of the 'Wanyang True Crystal', Wanyang Holy Son would still have to bear life risks entering the interior of the star.

"Your Highness… This… this… this…"

The black-haired elder hesitated somewhat.

"Do as I say."

Wanyang Holy Son's gaze was firm.

So what if the Thirteenth Peak Lord stepped into the seventh-order?

Give him five or ten years of bitter cultivation inside the star, and he could similarly step into the seventh-order.

At that time, he, Wanyang Holy Son, would once again initiate a challenge to the Thirteenth Peak Lord.

Crimson Kun Main Star.

Deep within the Thirteenth Mountain Peak Main Hall.

Lin Yuan sat cross-legged, his consciousness connecting to the Virtual World.

Personal space.

Lin Yuan's figure appeared out of thin air.

After strength synchronization, in the Virtual World, Lin Yuan's Physical Body and Soul likewise reached the seventh-order level.

And there was no difference from reality; deep within the Dantian and Qi Sea, a small Taiji world was slowly operating.

"Simulate the starry sky environment."

At Lin Yuan's slight thought, his surroundings began to change.

A stellar system appeared. In the distance, a huge star radiated light and heat, while twelve planets revolved around the star.

"Hu."

Lin Yuan withdrew his gaze.

For seventh-order Evolvers, only under the Cosmic Starry Sky could they completely let go, while ordinary planets were instead shackles.

Of course, the Alien Race Battlefield, calculated in light-years, could likewise accommodate the stretching of seventh-order or even Eighth-Order Evolvers.

Rumble.

Lin Yuan slightly operated his World Power, raising his right hand and striking a blow remotely towards a planet in the distance.

Rumble.

The mighty force continuously propagated along the vacuum, space faintly distorting, and soon a planet ten million kilometers away was pierced through with a bang by this force, turning into countless planetary fragments shooting out in all directions.

"A casual strike can shatter a star."

A smile appeared on Lin Yuan's face.

Although sixth-order Evolvers were known as Falling Stars, to truly shatter a star required going all out and delivering at least several blows to pierce through a planet.

As for someone like Lin Yuan, turning a planet into countless fragments, it was estimated that only Peak sixth-order Evolvers could achieve it.

Yet Lin Yuan had only delivered a casual strike, without even mobilizing rule comprehension, relying solely on the blessing of World Power to strike out that blow.

"World Power is too perverted."

Lin Yuan sighed slightly. Having World Power blessing versus not having World Power blessing were two completely different situations.

"My Internal World right now is only ten miles in radius, and the World Power derived from it already has such might. If it reaches the standard of a true Eighth-Order Evolver, with an Internal World of a hundred miles in radius, wouldn't it—"

Lin Yuan's expression was quite expectant.

Of course,

Lin Yuan also understood.

Even if the small Internal World grew to a hundred miles in radius, it would still be difficult to contend with true Eighth-Order Evolvers.

After all, what Eighth-Order Evolvers possessed was not just an Internal World; their Physical Body, Soul, comprehension of rules, and so on all crushed seventh-order Evolvers in an all-round way.

"To step into the eighth-order, the first thing is to open up the Internal World. I have already achieved this, so there is no need to worry."

Lin Yuan disconnected from the Virtual World and returned to reality.

Opening up the Internal World in advance brought enormous benefits to Lin Yuan.

Combat power was secondary; what was more important was——

Through observing the operation of the small Internal World, Lin Yuan could gain a deeper comprehension of rules.

Although the small Internal World was far inferior to the Cosmic Starry Sky of the Main World, and even far worse than the five worlds Lin Yuan had previously shuttled through,

It was still a complete world after all.

Even a mosquito is a life no matter how small.

"As for the second point, it requires a sufficiently firm mental will to face the 'Heart Demon Tribulation' when breaking through to the eighth-order."

Lin Yuan fell into deep thought.

Unlike strength, mental will is very difficult to measure.

Perhaps the mental will of some ordinary Mortals is even stronger than that of sixth or seventh-order Evolvers.

"Take it slow, no rush," Lin Yuan thought to himself. For the many Evolvers in the Main World, the method to elevate their own mental will was simply to live.

Only by living through long years, living for thousands and tens of thousands of years, experiencing various emotions, witnessing close relatives and friends passing away before one's eyes, and so on,

would the mental will slowly grow, ultimately reaching a degree sufficient to resist the 'Heart Demon Tribulation'.

"The time and years I experienced while shuttling through worlds should also be tempering my mental will?"

Lin Yuan was in a good mood.

Human Civilization border territory.

Several terrifying wills penetrated and descended.

"What is going on?"

"Didn't they say back then that the Thirteenth Peak Lord's Aptitude was only slightly stronger than other Peak lords? Only a few years have passed, and he has stepped into the seventh-order? Is this called being slightly stronger?"

The leading consciousness emitted a massive mental fluctuation and roared.

Spending less than two years to go from early sixth-order to stepping into seventh-order—with such talent, if he continued to grow for another several hundred or thousand years, where would that leave them?

If they had known earlier that the Thirteenth Peak Lord possessed such talent, their several major ethnic groups would have tried to strangle him in the cradle no matter the cost.

Paying a price now was much better than paying a price on the Alien Race Battlefield in the future.

"I don't know either! Who on earth determined the Thirteenth Peak Lord's talent and Aptitude back then? They must be heavily punished!"

The second consciousness immediately spoke in a stern tone, looking as if it was determined to pursue the matter to the end.

"Actually, you can't blame those below. The Thirteenth Peak Lord kept too low a profile. Apart from starting to challenge fifth-order Evolvers across major Star Domains near his Breakthrough to the sixth-order, who knew the background of the Thirteenth Peak Lord?"

The third consciousness couldn't help but say.

This was also a fact. For a Genius Evolver like Wanyang Holy Son, his various data had long spread across numerous Star Domains.

But what about the Thirteenth Peak Lord?

"Things have come to this; saying these is meaningless. What should we do now?"

The fourth consciousness emitted mental fluctuations.

"What to do?"

"What can we do now?"

The consciousness that had roared first felt somewhat helpless.

Now that the Thirteenth Peak Lord had already stepped into the seventh-order, wanting to assassinate him through curse-killing methods was simply unrealistic.

And even if he were cursed to death, given the talent currently displayed by the Thirteenth Peak Lord, a Supreme Powerhouse would probably immediately take action to resurrect him without even needing to wait.

"Indeed."

"No chance."

"The Thirteenth Peak Lord is too cautious. After stepping into the sixth-order, he has been staying on the Crimson Kun Main Star and simply never comes out."

"Right."

"If he doesn't come out, what can we do?"

Several consciousnesses communicated continuously, their tones very helpless.

"Perhaps, a few thousand years later, on the battlefield opened up between us and the Human Race, a second Red Kun Star Lord will appear. Who knows how many of our clansmen will die then."

The initial consciousness was silent for a moment.

"The second Red Kun Star Lord?"

The other consciousnesses trembled slightly in their minds.

The Red Kun Star Lord was an existence nearly invincible among Eighth-Order Evolvers.

Even in the Medium Alien Battlefield, the Red Kun Star Lord was enough to run amok. Its true form, the Star Sea Roaming Kun, was completely unscrupulous, having devoured countless Eighth-Order Evolvers of other alien races.

Only the high and aloft ninth-order alien races could make the Red Kun Star Lord feel a bit wary.

Crimson Kun Main Star.

Lin Yuan was about to continue cultivating.

Right at this moment,

The smart assistant's voice suddenly sounded.

"Master, the Star Alliance Conference is about to be convened. Will you participate?"

"The Star Alliance Conference?" Lin Yuan was slightly stunned.

Information regarding the Star Alliance Conference flashed rapidly through his mind.

The Star Alliance Conference, also known as the 'Annan Star Alliance Conference',

was a once-in-a-century grand event of the Annan Star Alliance.

The Annan Star Alliance was a massive Alliance composed of hundreds of Star Domains.

Internal relations were intricate and complex, and the division of interests among numerous Star Domains could simply not be resolved in a short time.

Therefore, the Star Alliance Conference came into being.

The purpose of the Star Alliance Conference was to resolve the many internal conflicts within the Annan Star Alliance. As for why the Three Goddesses did not intervene? The Three Goddesses were absolutely impartial, but some matters could not be resolved by impartiality; instead, they would cause even greater hidden dangers.

In addition, the Star Alliance Conference would also alter all policies within the Star Alliance to better suit citizens' habits.

And the Chi Kun Star Region was a powerful star region within the Annan Star Alliance.

That was why the smart assistant asked Lin Yuan whether he would participate in the Star Alliance Conference.

Of course,

Not just anyone could participate in the Star Alliance Conference.

At this level involving the decision-making of a star region, one had to be at least a Six-Level Citizen to have the qualification and right to intervene.

Shortly before Lin Yuan carried out his fifth shuttle, he had accumulated enough merits to promote to a Six-Level Citizen, and casually raised his citizen Rank to level six.

Thus, he possessed the qualification to participate in the Star Alliance Conference.

A Six-Level Citizen only reached the threshold to participate in the Star Alliance Conference,

possessing the right to vote, whereas a Seven-Level Citizen would automatically become a 'Parliamentarian' of the Annan Star Alliance, possessing true decision-making power.

"The Star Alliance Conference?"

Lin Yuan thought about it. He had never been very interested in such activities, unless the Star Alliance Conference was too important.

It could determine the situation and status of hundreds of Star Domains, and Lin Yuan had also reached the threshold of participating in the Star Alliance Conference; otherwise, the smart assistant probably wouldn't have reminded him specially.

"I know."

Lin Yuan nodded and dismissed the smart assistant.

"Should I participate or not?"

Lin Yuan pondered in his heart.

"Forget it."

Lin Yuan shook his head slightly.

No matter how important the Star Alliance Conference was, it held little meaning for him.

With this time, wouldn't it be much better to comprehend the rules more and refine the subsequent seventh-order chapter of the Martial Dao Evolution Path?
