Chapter 233 Far-reaching Impact

"Speak your mind."

Seeing the black-haired elder hesitating, Wanyang Holy Son did not blame him.

Now that he saw hope in catching up to the Thirteenth Peak Lord, meditating on a section of the Supreme Powerhouse's body would definitely give him some insights.

Then, with the foundation of his own Nine Yang Divine Vein, stepping into the Seventh Order within a hundred years was no joke.

As for the Eighth Order beyond the Seventh Order, Wanyang Holy Son had not yet considered it; the Eighth Order was still too far away for him.

mental will index, Internal World, Physical Body and Soul Perfection, and so on—none of these were met.

Now, Wanyang Holy Son's gaze was entirely focused on the Seventh Order. As long as he could step into the Seventh Order, he would be considered to have narrowed the gap with the Thirteenth Peak Lord.

"Rest assured, no bad news can shake my state of mind right now."

Seeing that the black-haired elder was still hesitating, Wanyang Holy Son said calmly.

Having hope, Wanyang Holy Son felt that his mental will had also improved.

The so-called living through long years and tempering the mental will essentially meant experiencing great ups and downs.

The crisis of life and death was also like this.

Upon learning that the Thirteenth Peak Lord had stepped into the Seventh Order, Wanyang Holy Son was once in despair, even risking his life to come inside a star to Cultivate in seclusion.

This was the 'fall'.

And now, learning that there was a Supreme Powerhouse's body to meditate on—

With the hope of catching up to the Thirteenth Peak Lord in the future, this was the 'rise'.

Great ups and downs, great falls and rises.

It was just like that.

"It is bad news related to the Thirteenth Peak Lord."

The black-haired elder tentatively said, knowing how desperately Wanyang Holy Son wanted to catch up to the Thirteenth Peak Lord.

But the news he had just learned was somewhat too cruel for Wanyang Holy Son.

"The Thirteenth Peak Lord?"

Wanyang Holy Son's expression turned slightly cautious.

Bad news related to the Thirteenth Peak Lord?

Could it be that the other party had already stepped into the Seventh-Order General-level Peak?

This indeed wasn't good news.

In such a short time, to leap from the Early Stage of the Seventh-Order General level to the General-level Peak—he truly was the Thirteenth Peak Lord whom he wanted to chase after.

At this rate, a hundred years later, wouldn't the Thirteenth Peak Lord have hopes of stepping into the Seventh-Order Marquis level?

By then, even if everything went smoothly for him, he would only be at the early Seventh Order, and the gap with the Thirteenth Peak Lord would still be huge.

Thinking of this, Wanyang Holy Son couldn't help feeling some pressure.

"I received news that the Thirteenth Peak Lord, he… seems to have stepped into the Eighth Order?"

The black-haired elder mustered up his courage and spoke out the news he had just received.

Even if he didn't say it, as long as Wanyang Holy Son's consciousness connected to the virtual network, he would still find out.

"The Thirteenth Peak Lord stepped into the Eighth Order. What did you say? Which order did he step into?"

Wanyang Holy Son was still pondering how to advance toward the Seventh-Order Marquis level as soon as possible after stepping into the Seventh Order a hundred years later. Hearing the black-haired elder's words, he almost thought he was hallucinating.

Eighth Order?

The Thirteenth Peak Lord stepped into the Eighth Order?

Wanyang Holy Son's mind was a complete mess.

It wasn't until the black-haired elder repeated it several times that Wanyang Holy Son barely recovered.

"Where did this matter spread from?"

Wanyang Holy Son's first reaction was disbelief.

From the Seventh Order to the Eighth Order was a major Bottleneck and a major shackles.

If before his seclusion, the Thirteenth Peak Lord was already at the Seventh-Order King-level Peak—

Breaking through to the Eighth Order now would still be considered normal.

But the Thirteenth Peak Lord had clearly just stepped into the Seventh Order not long ago.

In such a short time, to successively cross the three thresholds of mental will, Internal World, and Physical Body and Soul Perfection?

Is he even human?

Is he even human?!

"Your Highness, this news was transmitted from the Crimson Kun Main Star. On the central continent of the main star, there was a fluctuation of aura from the Seventh Order breaking through to the Eighth Order, and only the Thirteenth Peak Lord meets the conditions for a Seventh-Order Breakthrough to the Eighth Order."

The black-haired elder said truthfully.

"Since that's the case."

"Could it be a false rumor?"

Wanyang Holy Son immediately asked.

He really didn't want to believe that the Thirteenth Peak Lord had already stepped into the Eighth Order.

This made his previous behavior of risking his life in seclusion look extremely ridiculous.

Still chase after the Thirteenth Peak Lord?

What is there to chase him with?

"There is indeed the possibility of a false rumor."

The black-haired elder thought for a moment and nodded.

"Your Highness, if the Thirteenth Peak Lord really breaks through to the Eighth Order, the Chi Kun lineage will soon issue an announcement, and everything will be clear by then."

The black-haired elder said.

"Then we will wait."

Wanyang Holy Son was silent for a moment and spoke.

"Alright."

"Let's wait."

The black-haired elder nodded.

Crimson Kun Main Star.

Thirteen Mountain Peaks.

Lin Yuan sat cross-legged.

At this moment, his aura was incomparably profound and distant, resembling a celestial body, beginning to affect the surroundings.

An Eighth-Order Evolver, after undergoing ultimate transformation in Physical Body and Soul, coupled with the opening of the Internal World, if they did not restrain their aura, indeed made no difference from those cosmic celestial bodies.

"Is this the Eighth Order?"

Lin Yuan carefully felt the brand-new power within his body.

Although back in the Seventh Order, relying on his massive Internal World, Lin Yuan could crush most of the Eighth Order.

But that was merely a crushing of power. The profundity of the Realm was something Lin Yuan only came to experience now.

The greatest trump card of an Eighth-Order Evolver was the Internal World, but that did not mean Eighth-Order Evolvers only had the Internal World as a means.

"The Cultivation of the Eighth Order is mainly divided into four stages: the first stage is the Early Stage, the second stage is the Middle Stage, the third stage is the Late Stage, and the fourth stage is the Perfection."

Lin Yuan knew very well how to walk the path ahead.

In fact, the Eighth Order still had a fifth stage.

That was the Eighth Order Invincibles.

Essence-wise, the Eighth Order Invincibles were still in the fourth stage.

The Eighth Order Invincibles Evolvers, such as Red Kun Star Lord, Golden Dragon Star Lord, Wan Yang Star Master, and so on, had mastered a certain power that surpassed the Eighth Order.

With the help of this power, the Eighth Order Invincibles could crush all Eighth-Order Evolvers.

Of course, among the Eighth Order Invincibles, there were subtle differences in strength, but in a one-on-one fight, one party was basically unable to defeat the other.

This was also why such Experts were called Eighth Order Invincibles.

Unless a Ninth-Order powerhouse made a move, otherwise the Eighth Order Invincibles would remain in an invincible position.

Even when facing a siege by a group of Eighth Order Invincibles, they could easily withdraw unscathed.

"As an Eighth Order Invincibles, the power that Teacher has mastered, which surpasses the Eighth Order, should be related to the Star Sea Roaming Kun."

Lin Yuan thought to himself.

Every Eighth Order Invincibles was unique; it was impossible for them to master completely identical powers.

Lin Yuan felt his own changes a bit, then stood up and walked out of the grand hall.

Outside the grand hall, Red Kun Star Lord and Great Peak Lord had been waiting for a long time.

When Lin Yuan broke through, Red Kun Star Lord was the first to know, followed by Great Peak Lord.

"My good disciple, you've already stepped into the Eighth Order?" Red Kun Star Lord carefully looked at Lin Yuan and shook his head slightly, saying: "When Teacher stepped into the Eighth Order back then, think about how many years it took? Eight thousand years? Or ten thousand years?"

As a special life form with a Peak bloodline, the Star Sea Roaming Kun naturally possessed an Internal World, so it was much easier for Red Kun Star Lord to step into the Eighth Order than for Human Evolvers.

"Teacher, I stayed in the Seventh Order for nearly one hundred thousand years. Compared to Junior Brother, I feel like all these years were lived in vain."

Great Peak Lord said with a slight grievance.

Although he had long known that comparing himself to a Prodigy like Junior Brother was completely asking for hardship,

but seeing Junior Brother step into the Eighth Order so easily, Senior Brother couldn't help feeling a pang of bitterness in his heart.

Although Great Peak Lord said that, in his heart he still felt fortunate that he had stepped into the Eighth Order a step earlier.

Otherwise, wouldn't he have been surpassed by Junior Brother?

"Teacher, Senior Brother."

Lin Yuan looked toward Red Kun Star Lord and Great Peak Lord, smiling and saying.

"Junior Brother, how do you feel right now?" Great Peak Lord asked.

"Very special." Lin Yuan squinted his eyes to feel it.

"Why don't the two of us collide with World Power? This will make you more familiar with the power of the Eighth-Order level." Senior Brother said eagerly, itching to try.

When he had just stepped into the Eighth Order, Red Kun Star Lord had used the power of the Internal World to leave an incomparably 'deep' impression on him.

Although it was indeed of great help in mastering his own World Power, the taste of it was unusually unforgettable.

"World Power collision?"

Red Kun Star Lord glanced at Great Peak Lord and didn't speak.

"Alright."

Lin Yuan nodded.

Come to think of it, back at the sixth-order Peak, just before breaking into the Seventh Order, he had already opened up his Internal World, but he had never fought against other Eighth-Order Evolvers until now.

Now that Senior Brother was actively acting as a sparring partner, Lin Yuan naturally wouldn't refuse.

"Junior Brother, you must be careful. Although I also stepped into the Eighth Order not long ago, I am after all more familiar with it than you for a period of time."

Senior Brother reminded, understanding that this might be the last opportunity for him and Junior Brother to be evenly matched. After a while, with Junior Brother's Aptitude, he would definitely leave him far behind.

Rumble.

With a slight movement of Great Peak Lord's mind, invisible World Power shrouded outward. The terrifying World Power, even when suppressed and restrained, could easily crush sixth-order and seventh-order Evolvers.

"Hmm?"

Great Peak Lord urged his World Power to cover Lin Yuan, but felt as if he were covering a black hole.

Rumble.

A power far exceeding the limit of Great Peak Lord's World Power took Lin Yuan as the center and spread in all directions.

"Me?"

Great Peak Lord's expression changed. He felt that this power was boundless, and his own World Power was simply defeated in utter collapse.

The two were simply not on the same level.

"Stop, stop, stop."

Great Peak Lord hurriedly shouted.

"This kind of World Power?"

Great Peak Lord could hardly believe it. He recognized that the power which crushed his World Power was also World Power, but it was far too much stronger than his own World Power.

Even though it wasn't as oppressive as the pressure Red Kun Star Lord brought him, it still far surpassed other Eighth-Order Evolvers.

"Junior Brother, just how vast is your Internal World?"

Senior Brother swallowed hard. The strength of World Power depended on the foundation of the Internal World.

Lin Yuan's World Power was far stronger than his, which could only mean that his own Internal World was far inferior to the other party's.

But hadn't Lin Yuan just broken through?

For a moment, Great Peak Lord couldn't figure it out.

He could only attribute it to truly deserving to be Junior Brother.

"Alright, your Junior Brother has already held back with all his might." Red Kun Star Lord shook his head and said from the side.

Before stepping into the Eighth Order, Lin Yuan's Internal World already exceeded one hundred thousand miles in radius, and now Lin Yuan's Internal World exceeded at least two hundred thousand miles.

Sparring with Great Peak Lord, whose Internal World was less than two hundred miles, if Lin Yuan didn't hold back, the former would probably be suppressed in an instant.

"Held back with all his might?"

"Can holding back also be done with all one's might?"

Great Peak Lord muttered inwardly, but knowing that Teacher wouldn't deceive him, his Junior Brother, even just entering the Eighth Order, far surpassed him in strength.

"Alright, my good disciple, you should first familiarize yourself with the Realm of the Eighth Order; we can talk about the rest later."

Red Kun Star Lord gave a word of admonition.

"Also, I will have people announce the matter of your Breakthrough to the Eighth Order."

Red Kun Star Lord said.

It was mainly because those old friends kept sending messages to confirm with him whether it was really the Thirteenth Peak Lord who had stepped into the Eighth Order.

"Thank you, Teacher."

Lin Yuan nodded and said.

The news of Lin Yuan stepping into the Eighth Order was soon officially confirmed through an announcement issued by the Chi Kun lineage.

There was mainly no need to conceal it. Human Civilization, as one of the most powerful Peak Groups, had 'resurrection' methods as its trump card.

When breaking through from the fifth order to the sixth order, the essence of life was not strong enough, which was why identity had to be concealed. After all, no matter how Genius a fifth-order Evolver was, they did not reach the conditions for being resurrected.

If they died, they were truly dead.

But at the Eighth Order—let alone how much price alien races would have to pay to assassinate an Eighth-Order Evolver, after all, most Eighth-Order Evolvers of Human Civilization had the 'Clone technique'.

Even if the assassination succeeded, a Supreme Powerhouse would turn around and resurrect them.

Resurrecting an Eighth-Order Evolver was not much of a consumption for a Supreme Powerhouse. Of course, at the level of a Supreme Powerhouse, no matter how small the consumption was, in the eyes of the lower-level Evolvers, it was a huge price.

The geniuses of those powerful groups had to be extremely cautious; their groups did not have Supreme Powerhouses holding the fort, and if they wanted to be resurrected, they could only beg the Peak Groups.

But whether the Supreme Powerhouse of the Peak Groups was willing to make a move to help resurrect you was another matter entirely.

"The Chi Kun lineage has issued an announcement; that person who broke through to the Eighth Order is indeed the Thirteenth Peak Lord."

"Oh my god, how old is the Thirteenth Peak Lord, and he's already at the Eighth Order?!"

"When I was as old as the Thirteenth Peak Lord, I was still playing around at the first and second orders."

Star alliances were shaken one after another. Originally, some people still felt that there might be some blunder; after all, without getting the announcement from the Chi Kun lineage, the one breaking through to the Eighth Order might not necessarily be the Thirteenth Peak Lord.

But now, it was basically nailed down.

Wanyang Star Region.

Wanyang Holy Son closely monitored the movements of the Chi Kun lineage.

Almost the instant the announcement was published, he already knew.

"Did the Thirteenth Peak Lord really step into the Eighth Order?"

Wanyang Holy Son thought silently in his heart.

Actually, during this period of waiting, he had already accepted most of it in his heart. Until he saw the announcement, he instead breathed a sigh of relief.

"Your Highness, are you alright?"

The black-haired elder beside him said with a concerned tone.

Even he was full of disbelief when learning that the Thirteenth Peak Lord had stepped into the Eighth Order.

Let alone Wanyang Holy Son, who had taken the Thirteenth Peak Lord as his goal?

"Your Highness, actually there is no need for you to chase after the Thirteenth Peak Lord. Sometimes those prodigies are simply unreasonable." The black-haired elder tried hard to comfort his Highness.

"I know."

Wanyang Holy Son sighed.

If the Thirteenth Peak Lord were still in the Seventh Order right now, even if it were the Seventh-Order King level—

Wanyang Holy Son would still feel immense pressure, but the Thirteenth Peak Lord had stepped into the Eighth Order.

Wanyang Holy Son suddenly felt the pressure on his shoulders lighten completely, because from now on, he had no reason at all to chase after the Thirteenth Peak Lord anymore.

Because he couldn't catch up.

Crimson Kun Main Star.

First Mountain Peak.

The newly promoted member Feng Yu looked at the announcement from the Chi Kun lineage before him and fell into silence.
