Chapter 334 Shen Ji: You cleared it without even pausing?

Galaxy Main Star.

Only three days had passed, and Lin Yuan's Internal World had recovered to nearly two hundred million miles in radius.

The mighty World Power, mixed with the power of over two billion spatial layers, would cause even ordinary Tier 10 powerhouses to feel fear.

"The space of the Main Universe is stable, and countless spatial layers are likewise exceptionally solid," Lin Yuan thought to himself.

In the World of Gods, Lin Yuan could easily carve out a stable Martial World between various spatial layers to serve as a place of Ascension for all martial arts deities.

However, in the Main Universe, Lin Yuan could not do so; the space of the Main Universe was far too stable. Wanting to forcefully carve out a world was something even Tier 10 powerhouses could not accomplish, requiring at least Eleven-Tier.

Moreover, worlds carved out by Eleven-Tier powerhouses could not last long. If not maintained, they would gradually be restored by the Main Universe's instinctive repairing ability.

Unless one reached the level of Supreme Powerhouse and possessed the strength to create permanent spatial rifts, trying to carve out a stable Martial World in the Main Universe was practically a fairy tale.

"However, over the past few days, the hottest topic in Human Civilization should be the Martial Dao Evolution Path."

Lin Yuan connected his consciousness to the Virtual Network, and the headlines of all major media outlets in Human Civilization were about the Martial Dao Evolution Path.

Before the martial arts Rank 9 Chapter was uploaded, when it was merely an Eighth Order evolution path, even if it topped the Annan Star Alliance leaderboard, it still belonged to a small-scale evolution path as far as the entire Human Civilization was concerned.

Annan Star Alliance?

It was merely one of the countless star alliances within the territory of Human Civilization.

No matter how Heaven-Defying the soaring speed of the Martial Dao Evolution Path was, the vast majority of Evolvers and citizens of Human Civilization had still never heard of it.

But when the Rank 9 Martial Dao Evolution Path stepped into the Southern Star Region evolution leaderboard in one fell swoop, it could be considered as completely breaking out of the circle.

There were many, many regions like the Annan Star Alliance in the Human Alliance, but star regions?

There were only five major star regions in the entire Human Civilization.

The star-region-level evolution leaderboard was watched by countless Human Evolvers every day.

A change on the Southern Star Region evolution leaderboard, even if it was the fifty-third place, or even the one-hundredth place, would trigger discussions at the level of the entire Human Civilization.

"This is also a good thing."

"With the Martial Dao Evolution Path breaking out of the circle, the number of Evolvers cultivating the Martial Dao Evolution Path—"

Lin Yuan's expression was pleasant, and at the same time, he opened the quantity information of the Evolvers of the Martial Dao Evolution Path.

The regulation of Human Civilization was that every citizen who became an Evolver needed to go to the local Evolver Association to register.

Back then, Lin Yuan had also registered at the Evolver Association of Canglan Star.

Through the detailed information of each Evolver after registration, the number of each martial arts Evolver at various ranks was then calculated.

"Rank 1 Chapter: 695.63412 billion."

"Rank 2 Chapter: 92.543 billion."

"third stage: 196.5 million."

"Rank 4 Chapter: 54.2 million."

"Rank 5 Chapter: 8.12 million."

"Rank 6 Chapter: 980,000."

"Rank 7 Chapter: 2,673."

"Rank 8 Chapter: 0."

Lin Yuan glanced at the relevant data and nodded slightly.

It could be seen that between the Rank 2 Chapter and third stage, there was a huge drop in the number of practitioners.

This was not because the probability of breaking through from martial arts Rank 2 to martial arts Rank 3 was too low, but rather because at least a large majority of the current quantities of the Rank 1 Chapter and Rank 2 Chapter had been added in the past few days.

The Martial Dao Evolution Path ranked fifty-third on the star-region-level evolution leaderboard.

With such massive exposure facing all humanity, countless citizens chose to Cultivate martial arts.

Moreover, the Rank 1 Chapter to Rank 2 Chapter of martial arts could completely be accelerated through a certain method, which belonged to the accumulation of energy.

As for Rank 2 to Rank 3, it was much more difficult.

"Cultivating along a stable evolutionary path indeed has very high efficiency and speed," Lin Yuan nodded slightly.

How many years had it been since the Martial Dao Evolution Path was uploaded?

The time passed in the Main World was only a hundred years, yet more than two thousand martial arts Rank 7s had been born.

You must know, the time it took Lin Yuan back then to carve out the Rank 1 Chapter to Rank 7 Chapter of martial arts, counting the years spent shuttling through worlds, was a thousand years.

Of course, Lin Yuan also knew that Evolvers who could Cultivate to martial arts Rank 7 within a hundred years were basically high-tier Evolvers switching their paths.

Many Rank 6 and Rank 7 Evolvers had seen the potential of the Martial Dao Evolution Path very early on, paying a huge price to abandon their original evolution paths and choose martial arts.

High-tier Evolvers recultivating martial arts could make rapid progress in the early and Middle Stages due to their mastery of the essence of power and the essence of rules, without needing any extra comprehension at all.

"The commission income over these years…" Lin Yuan glanced at his account balance, which was roughly over nine million cosmic crystals.

These were cosmic crystals, not civilization coins, nor Universe coins, but cosmic crystals universally used by the numerous races across the entire Universe.

Normally speaking, the net worth of an Eighth Order powerhouse was between several thousand cubic cosmic crystals to ten thousand cubic cosmic crystals.

Lin Yuan's commission income over these twenty or thirty years was equivalent to earning the net worth that over a thousand Eighth Order powerhouses could save up in most of their lives while just lying down.

"Nine million cubic cosmic crystals, of which four million cubic cosmic crystals are the income of these past few days. The pricing of the Rank 9 Chapter is five trillion civilization coins, equivalent to five cubic cosmic crystals."

"The four million cubic cosmic crystals in commission income mean total sales are roughly twelve million cubic cosmic crystals, which equals the Rank 9 Chapter being purchased two to three million times these past few days."

Lin Yuan was somewhat surprised. There were still many wealthy people in Human Civilization, and the means by which those high-tier Evolvers earned wealth were terrifying.

"Nearly ten million cubic cosmic crystals in commission income will only increase more and more in the future." Lin Yuan increasingly realized the money-making speed of the founder of a high-tier evolution path.

Although the process of carving out an evolution path was difficult, once it succeeded, it would be a chicken that laid golden eggs.

cosmic crystals were the universal currency of the myriad races in the starry sky.

Even if they couldn't compare to Human Civilization Merit Points, as long as the quantity was sufficient, they could already be used to purchase the vast majority of cosmic rare treasures and items.

"However, commission income is secondary."

Lin Yuan exited the income interface of the Martial Dao Evolution Path and cast his gaze toward the starry sky.

"With so many Evolvers cultivating the Martial Dao Evolution Path, the assistance I receive when I make my Ultimate leap in the future will definitely not be small."

Lin Yuan's thoughts churned.

Human Civilization constantly expanded its territory and waged wars against other alien races mainly to acquire more territory and raise the population base as much as possible.

Once the population base was large, not only would the number of Evolver geniuses born increase, but they could also try cultivating numerous evolution paths, increasing the foundational probability for the Eleven-Tier Peak existences of that evolution path to impact the Supreme Powerhouse realm.

Among the several Peak civilizations, Human Civilization had the most Supreme Powerhouses, reaching a full nine, which was also related to the massive human population.

Those unique special life forms could easily Cultivate to Eleven-Tier, but they dared not impact the Supreme Powerhouse realm precisely because they had zero certainty.

That was why there were many Ancient Gods deep in the starry sky who constantly spread evolution path roads formed by their own characteristic information, such as the Ancient God evolution path circulating within Human Civilization.

It was to make preparations for impacting that step.

Profound Yellow Secret Realm.

Lin Yuan galloped wantonly within the numerous spatial layers.

"We are about to reach the core area."

Lin Yuan felt the sense of calling and knew that he was very close to the core area.

"There is probably about half a month left."

Lin Yuan calculated the time, and anticipation grew stronger in his heart.

As he continuously approached, that sense of calling became clearer and clearer.

"Your Majesty Xuanhuang?"

Lin Yuan translated the calling voice into the characters of Human Civilization, "Could it be that Your Majesty of the Profound Yellow Secret Realm?"

The Majesty of the Profound Yellow Secret Realm, according to the information collected by Human Civilization over so many years, should be the former Dominator of the Profound Yellow Secret Realm.

It was likewise an existence at the level of a Supreme Powerhouse.

"A sense of calling related to a Supreme Powerhouse."

As Lin Yuan was pondering, his expression suddenly changed slightly.

"Over there?"

Lin Yuan sensed that a covert aura was dormant in that area.

"Boom!"

A million-zhang-sized Zerg Hive took flight and frantically fled into the distance.

"The Zerg?"

A smile appeared on Lin Yuan's face.

Along this way, those Tier 9 alien races had been hiding from him; he didn't expect to accidentally encounter a Zerg.

The Profound Yellow Secret Realm was vast and boundless.

Compared to the entire Secret Realm, the route Lin Yuan was on was far too insignificant, so running into a Tier 9 Zerg was completely a pleasant surprise.

"Stay."

Lin Yuan raised his right hand, and the power of two hundred million spatial layers spread out.

That Zerg Hive had also comprehended nearly thirty million spatial layers, but in front of Lin Yuan, it was obviously not enough.

"Galaxy Star Master!"

That Zerg Hive's tone was filled with grief and indignation, emitting rich mental fluctuations.

Then, it directly self-detonated, and its huge body blew apart.

"So decisive?"

Lin Yuan shook his head slightly.

Zerg Hives had huge bodies, and losing a Clone cost far more than small-sized Tier 9s like Xi Lan.

"Is it because it knows I have a share of memory poison in my hands?"

Lin Yuan deduced the reason.

Other Tier 9 alien races worried that Lin Yuan would capture them alive and then bring them back to human territory, utilizing the methods of those powerhouses in Human Civilization.

But the Zerg indeed knew that Lin Yuan didn't need to do that at all.

Previously, when the Zerg sent out four Eighth Order Invincibles to encircle and annihilate the Galaxy Star Master, they had used a share of memory poison, which could completely destroy a powerhouse at the memory level, making it impossible to even resurrect from that kind of destruction.

With those four Eighth Order Invincibles perishing, the Zerg naturally knew that the memory poison had fallen into Lin Yuan's hands.

"The harvest is pretty good, roughly worth four million cubic cosmic crystals."

Lin Yuan nodded.

This Zerg had obviously harvested a lot in this Secret Realm.

But now it all went to Lin Yuan.

Galaxy Main Star.

Lin Yuan ended the day's cultivation.

"Right."

"I can take a trip to the Demon Jade Space and try the third-layer Black Tower."

A thought stirred in Lin Yuan's heart.

He was still quite moved by the rewards after clearing the Black Tower floors.

The chaos crystal obtained when clearing the second layer was still frequently observed by Lin Yuan, giving him some comprehension.

And secret art legacies like Void Interpretation and Illusory Reality came from the hands of the Moyu Tower Master.

"Let's go."

Lin Yuan sensed the Mo Yu Mark deep within his Soul.

A trace of mental will followed the mark and instantly descended into that Demon Jade Space.

"I haven't been here for a long time."

Lin Yuan looked at the grayish-white mist all around with some emotion.

The long time here counted the millennium spent in the World of Gods.

As for the time in the Main World, not too much had passed.

Swish.

Before long.

Lin Yuan arrived before that towering Nine-Layer Black Tower.

"You're here?"

The humanoid stone statue Shen Ji walked out and said with a smile, looking at Lin Yuan.

"Want to try the third layer again?"

The humanoid stone statue Shen Ji saw through Lin Yuan's purpose.

In fact, when Lin Yuan descended into the Demon Jade Space, other than trying to clear the third layer, there was nothing else he could do.

"Right."

Lin Yuan nodded.

In his previous several attempts at the third layer of the Black Tower, Lin Yuan had ended in failure, still a tremendously distant distance away from clearing the third layer.

But now?

Lin Yuan was full of confidence.

"Go on in."

The humanoid stone statue Shen Ji didn't talk nonsense, directly opening the entrance of the Black Tower and yielding a path.

Whoosh!

Lin Yuan walked directly inside.

Third layer of the Black Tower.

Every inch of space was filled with omnipresent pressure.

After Lin Yuan's many previous attempts, he already knew what the third layer of the Black Tower tested.

The first and second layers of the Black Tower tested resistance against invisible pressure, requiring the tester to fight against the pressure.

Instead, the pressure filled in the third layer was simply not something a challenger could resist.

The true test of the third layer required the challenger to occupy more spatial layers, thereby dodging the pressure coming from all directions.

Therefore, the key point of the third layer of the Black Tower was dodging.

"Last time I came to challenge this third layer of the Black Tower, I only carved out less than one hundred thousand spatial layers and in the end didn't even walk one percent of the journey."

Lin Yuan recalled the scenes from before in his mind.

According to his estimation, wanting to clear the third layer of the Black Tower required carving out at least nearly a hundred million spatial layers.

With nearly a hundred million spatial layers, it was estimated that among the myriad races of the Main Universe's starry sky, the strongest Tier 9 life forms of this era could not pass the third layer.

"However, for the current me—"

Lin Yuan instantly occupied layers upon layers of space and gently took a step forward.

Outside the Black Tower.

The humanoid stone statue Shen Ji was watching the picture of the third layer with great interest.

"Last time, this little fellow spent more than half an hour just finishing one percent of the journey. It probably dealt a considerable blow to him," the humanoid stone statue Shen Ji thought to himself.

Geniuses were all proud, especially a freakish Prodigy like Lin Yuan.

Even though he had explicitly told Lin Yuan that the standard for clearing the third layer was those special Tier 9s or simply Tier 10 life forms,

seeing how fragile he was like a piece of paper in the third layer of the Black Tower, it certainly wouldn't feel good in his heart.

"This time the little fellow dares to challenge the third layer again; he should have made a Breakthrough. Perhaps he can finish two percent or even five percent of the journey in the end?"

The humanoid stone statue Shen Ji thought to himself, having already defaulted to Lin Yuan having a major Breakthrough; otherwise, he wouldn't have made such a judgment.

Two percent or even five percent of the journey required a Tier 9 life form that had carved out at least nearly one million spatial layers to traverse.

The number of spatial layers Lin Yuan had previously carved out was still less than one hundred thousand.

"He truly deserves to be a Genius who comprehended dozens of kinds of Cosmic Power back in the Eighth Order. How long has it passed, and he has made such a big Breakthrough."

The humanoid stone statue Shen Ji watched with a smile.

Right at this moment, Lin Yuan in the picture gently stepped out.

Swish.

Lin Yuan directly disappeared in place.

"Hmm?"

Before the humanoid stone statue Shen Ji could react, he saw an extra figure appear in the end zone of the third layer.

It was precisely Lin Yuan.

"This?!"

The humanoid stone statue Shen Ji froze for a moment, somewhat dumbfounded.
