Chapter 387 Towering Tianshan
Chapter 387 Towering Tianshan (Seeking Subscriptions)
On the azure and clear surface of the lake.
A four-armed man stood quietly there. He was only one meter sixty-seven tall, but his formless aura was vast and unfathomable. In particular, his four arms vaguely gave off a sense of being out of tune with the surrounding heaven and earth.
"Four-Armed Divine King."
"Four-Armed Divine King."
"Four-Armed Divine King."
On the shore of the lake, dozens of figures shouted in low voices, their tones brimming with fanaticism.
Two hundred years ago, the strength of the Four-Armed Divine King was already far superior to theirs.
Now, another two hundred years had passed, and the gap would only become even greater and more distant.
"Is the Heavenly Gate about to open?"
The four-armed man, the Four-Armed Divine King, slowly opened his eyes, his gaze deep as he calmly spoke.
"According to the time of this Two-Dimensional World, the Heavenly Gate will open in another two months." The leading figure on the shore immediately said.
The Heavenly Gate opens once every ten thousand years. This is the greatest grand event of this Two-Dimensional World, and countless Experts will go to observe it at that time.
Before the descent of the ten thousand races experts, only Witch Emperor-level Experts were qualified to fight for a quota to enter the Heavenly Gate, and Witch Ancestor-level Experts could guarantee that they could walk before the Heavenly Gate.
As for now, with the intervention of the ten thousand races experts, the threshold was naturally raised infinitely.
"Understood."
"One day later, we will set off for Tianshan."
The Four-Armed Divine King said slowly.
Tianshan is the known tallest towering mountain in this Two-Dimensional World. Every time the Heavenly Gate opens, it appears on Tianshan. Over time, it gained the name 'Tianshan'.
"Yes."
Dozens of figures on the shore immediately nodded.
"Four-Armed Divine King, we—" The leading figure suddenly hesitated a bit.
"Rest assured, you have handled so many trivial matters for me in this Two-Dimensional World. This time, as long as I can leave, I will have a Supreme Powerhouse make a move to compensate for your fundamental losses as much as possible."
The Four-Armed Divine King looked at the numerous figures on the shore.
These figures were all powerful special life forms, and placed in the Cosmic Starry Sky, they were ancient gods running rampant over a region.
"Thank you, Four-Armed Divine King."
"Then I will trouble the Four-Armed Divine King."
"It is our honor to handle trivial matters for the Four-Armed Divine King."
Dozens of figures breathed a slight sigh of relief in their hearts. Fundamental losses could not be recovered, but they could be compensated.
As long as a Supreme Powerhouse made a move, under the condition of paying a price, they could completely reduce their losses to a minimum.
Of course, the reason why the Supreme Powerhouse was willing to make a move was because the Four-Armed Divine King would bring all the various rare items in the Two-Dimensional World out, and these rare items also had their contributions.
"With the strength of the Four-Armed Divine King, who in this Two-Dimensional World can rival him?" The leading figure spoke.
The remaining figures agreed one after another.
Although they were all Eleven-Tier special life forms, they knew they had no hope of getting out, and first of all, they could not compete with the Four-Armed Divine King before them.
As for giving up this opening of the Heavenly Gate and waiting for the next Heavenly Gate? That was a matter among the nine strongest Experts, and had nothing to do with these slightly mediocre special life forms.
And the current nine strongest Experts of the Two-Dimensional World had similar statuses to each other, and would not submit to any party, even if they were the same special life forms, it was impossible.
"Alright."
"You guys go down and prepare first."
The Four-Armed Divine King spoke, and the dozens of figures on the shore quickly turned and left.
Suddenly, on the wide lake surface, only the Four-Armed Divine King was left alone.
"Over the past two hundred years, I have excavated the power potential of the Ultimate weapon integrated into my body as much as possible. In terms of combat power, I estimate that I already stand at the upper limit of this Two-Dimensional World."
The Four-Armed Divine King thought silently in his heart.
Unlike the rare items within the Two-Dimensional World, his supreme weapon was brought over from the outside world.
And this produced an essential difference from the ten thousand races experts holding rare items.
That was, the supreme weapon of the Four-Armed Divine King had been refined.
The remaining ten thousand races experts obtained rare items, even if the power of this rare item was no less than the supreme weapon of the Four-Armed Divine King, they could not refine it and could only display the lowest power.
Within the Two-Dimensional World, many methods of the ten thousand races experts could not be exerted, and they were unable to refine rare items.
But the supreme weapon of the Four-Armed Divine King had already been refined in the outside world.
Even though he fell into the Two-Dimensional World and many powers of the supreme weapon were suppressed, the Four-Armed Divine King was able to achieve harmony of mind and action with the refined supreme weapon, and slowly develop more power of this supreme weapon.
Moreover, this supreme weapon was completely suitable for the Four-Armed Divine King, and could perfectly exert his highest combat power.
"This opening of the Heavenly Gate, I will definitely be able to leave."
The Four-Armed Divine King was full of confidence. As an Eleven-Tier Perfection legendary life form, he was originally one of the strongest among the many ten thousand races experts who descended this time, plus he carried a supreme weapon.
With such a huge advantage in hand, if he still couldn't leave, the Four-Armed Divine King didn't think such a possibility existed.
Inside a volcano, before the boiling magma.
Sitting cross-legged was a Slim Old Man, his figure resembling a ball of boiling flame. The surrounding temperature continuously soared, and the stone walls even began to fuse.
"Almost there."
"It has already reached a limit."
The Slim Old Man let out a slight breath, and the nearby temperature began to drop rapidly. "It's time to head to Tianshan to take a look."
The Slim Old Man's eyes narrowed slightly. "This opening of the Heavenly Gate, the only ones who can contend with me are those few old fellows. The Four-Armed Divine King counts as one; he brought a true supreme weapon in, which is indeed hard to deal with."
The Slim Old Man touched his chin, falling into deep thought.
Normally speaking, Eleven-Tier lives were not qualified to hold supreme weapons, and this was even true for Eleven-Tier Perfection legendary lives.
Even for Peak Groups, a supreme weapon was considered a foundation. If an Eleven-Tier life held a supreme weapon, it was very likely to attract a Supreme Powerhouse to make a move and plunder it.
Although a Supreme Powerhouse disdained bullying the weak with strength, if there was sufficient interest, they wouldn't mind doing so.
Unless this supreme weapon originated from the bestowal of another Supreme Powerhouse.
The Four-Armed Divine King was extremely valued in the Starry Sky Alliance and was cultivated as the next Ultimate Existence, which was why he was bestowed with a supreme weapon.
"It's just that in this Two-Dimensional World, even if a supreme weapon is refined, how much power of this supreme weapon can be excavated? When the time comes, a few of us old fellows will join forces to solve the Four-Armed Divine King first, and that will be it."
The Slim Old Man thought to himself.
In terms of pure combat power, the Four-Armed Divine King was definitely stronger than him, and even among all the ten thousand races experts who descended this time, the Four-Armed Divine King was most likely the strongest one.
But strongest did not mean invincible.
As long as he wasn't invincible, the Four-Armed Divine King could possibly be resolved and suppressed.
At least in the eyes of the Slim Old Man, the Four-Armed Divine King posed the greatest threat, and by then he would definitely become his target of attack.
It could be foreseen that at the peak of Tianshan, the Four-Armed Divine King would become the target of joint attacks by the crowd.
Without solving the Four-Armed Divine King first, an Eleven-Tier Perfection legendary life like the Slim Old Man would not dare to go all out at all.
"Forget it."
"This time it happens to be a good chance to discuss with those old friends how to deal with the Four-Armed Divine King."
A smile appeared on the Slim Old Man's face. Except for those few Eleven-Tier Perfection legendary lives of the same level, he didn't put any ten thousand races experts in his eyes at all.
Outside the Twelve Ancient Kingdoms.
A secluded force.
Within the Two-Dimensional World, the Twelve Ancient Kingdoms were just the forces with the largest scale.
Outside the Twelve Ancient Kingdoms, there were still many secluded forces. In terms of foundation, these forces were not below the Twelve Ancient Kingdoms, and they were all established by a certain Witch Ancestor.
For a long time, these forces had lived in seclusion and were not interested in outside information and intelligence.
Rumble.
Just at this moment.
Deep within this secluded force.
A terrifying aura soared, and the massive blood and Qi power oscillated.
"Witch Ancestor."
"I have finally become a Witch Ancestor."
A middle-aged man with an excited expression walked out.
His name was Yan Fu, and he was the strongest expert of this secluded force. After arduous Cultivation, he finally stepped into the Witch Ancestor Realm.
In the Two-Dimensional World, for indigenous life to Cultivate to a Witch Ancestor was harder than ascending to heaven. In the past, every time the Heavenly Gate opened, most of it was contested by those Witch Emperors.
As for a Witch Ancestor? As long as a Witch Ancestor could be born, the quota to enter the Heavenly Gate could basically be confirmed.
"Right before the opening of the Heavenly Gate, I stepped into the Witch Ancestor Realm."
"What the ancestors failed to achieve, let me complete it."
Yan Fu's mind surged with emotion.
For the life in the Two-Dimensional World, entering the Heavenly Gate was the Ultimate goal and Ultimate dream.
But even a Witch Ancestor was not necessarily able to enter the Heavenly Gate.
The Heavenly Gate opens once every ten thousand years, but a Witch Ancestor's Lifespan is at most only two to three thousand years. Therefore, wanting to enter the Heavenly Gate, even as strong as a Witch Ancestor, also depended on luck.
That Witch Ancestor from Yan Fu's ancestry did not have this luck. Eight hundred years after the last Heavenly Gate had just opened, he became a Witch Ancestor, which directly cut off all hope of entering the Heavenly Gate.
Deep within the Cosmic Starry Sky.
A mysterious and distant "scroll" slowly unfurled.
Dozens of Supreme Powerhouses wore solemn expressions as they carefully observed the "white paper" in the distance.
Within the Two-Dimensional World, there were still two months left before the Heavenly Gate opened, but in the Main Universe, it was merely a matter of a little over ten hours later.
The time flow rate between the Two-Dimensional World and the Main Universe was inconsistent, reaching a ratio of one hundred to one.
"Heavenly Gate."
"This opening of the Heavenly Gate might just be an opportunity for us to peer into the essence of this 'white paper'."
"Indeed, if the Heavenly Gate is truly the channel connecting the inside of the 'white paper' to the outside world, then at the exact moment of its opening, we can completely use this to discover some of the secrets of the 'white paper'."
"It might even help us refine this 'white paper'."
One Supreme Powerhouse and Ultimate Existence after another waited solemnly.
Two years had passed, and they still knew nothing about this "white paper," so they placed all their hopes on the upcoming opening of the Heavenly Gate.
"Yu Die, has the Void Realm Heaven and Earth been prepared?" Supreme Being Xia Qin looked toward Supreme Being Yu Die beside him.
"Rest assured, once the Heavenly Gate opens, as long as the Two-Dimensional World within the white paper leaks the slightest trace of aura, it will be captured by the Void Realm Heaven and Earth. By then, the similarity of the replicated Two-Dimensional World will be even higher."
Supreme Being Yu Die nodded. Her Supreme Powerhouse evolution path came from the "Void Realm Heaven and Earth," so she could naturally master the "Void Realm Heaven and Earth."
"That's good."
Supreme Being Xia Qin said.
"I wonder what Realm that little fellow has reached in Cultivate by now?" Supreme Being Xia Qin suddenly thought.
The "little fellow" in his mouth naturally referred to Lin Yuan.
Ever since he learned two hundred years ago that Lin Yuan was already at the terrifying Nineteenth Realm of the Witch Ancestor, Supreme Being Xia Qin had placed all the hopes of the Human Civilization Evolvers within the Two-Dimensional World on him.
There was no other way.
Two hundred years ago, aside from Lin Yuan, the strongest Evolver in Human Civilization was only at the Fourteenth Realm of the Witch Ancestor.
Just as Supreme Being Xia Qin's thoughts were turning,
a voice suddenly came over.
"Xia Qin, how is your consideration going?" That Supreme Powerhouse from the Starry Sky Alliance looked over and transmitted his voice secretly.
He was still unwilling to give up the strange items collected by the Human Civilization Evolvers. As long as they were brought out through the Four-Armed Divine King, the Starry Sky Alliance could take a heavy cut from them.
The Starry Sky Alliance and Human Civilization were not in a hostile relationship, so this Supreme Powerhouse who achieved the Ultimate state through the body of a special life form did not care too much that Human Civilization could ultimately benefit from it as well.
Besides, the cut taken by the Starry Sky Alliance reached sixty percent; the more benefits Human Civilization gained, the more the Starry Sky Alliance would receive.
"Let's wait and see." Supreme Being Xia Qin said with a smile.
If it weren't for Lin Yuan, he would probably have cooperated with the Starry Sky Alliance.
After all, bringing out those strange items from the Two-Dimensional World meant nothing to the group.
Even if the Starry Sky Alliance took a cut and Human Civilization could only obtain forty percent, it was still better than having nothing at all.
"Wait and see?" This Supreme Powerhouse of the Starry Sky Alliance looked at Supreme Being Xia Qin, "Do the Human Evolvers who fell into the Two-Dimensional World this time include an Eleven-Tier Perfection life?"
Two years ago, when Supreme Being Xia Qin replied with "Let me consider it further," this Supreme Powerhouse of the Starry Sky Alliance was only somewhat puzzled.
But now, the Heavenly Gate was about to open, yet Supreme Being Xia Qin still replied with "Let's wait and see." The Supreme Powerhouse of the Starry Sky Alliance was not a fool.
He immediately deduced two possibilities.
First, the Human Civilization Alliance had already cooperated with other factions and handed the task of bringing out the strange items to the cooperative faction.
Second, the Evolvers of Human Civilization who had fallen into the Two-Dimensional World had the confidence to contend for the strongest and were expected to secure a spot to enter the Heavenly Gate.
Compared to the first possibility, the Starry Sky Alliance Supreme Powerhouse leaned more toward the second possibility.
After all, up to now, he knew well which faction the Experts in the Two-Dimensional World who were expected to approach the Four-Armed Divine King came from.
It was difficult for Human Civilization to cooperate with the other party, and even if they did cooperate, the final cut would definitely be much higher than that of the Starry Sky Alliance.
Human Civilization had no need to discard the near and seek the far.
"Don't you all know about the Eleven-Tier Perfection Evolvers of our Human Civilization Alliance?" Supreme Being Xia Qin asked in return.
He did not mention Lin Yuan at all, nor did he reveal even the slightest bit of information.
In the Two-Dimensional World, the more high-profile one was, the more dangerous it was, because it was easy to become the target of a siege.
The Four-Armed Divine King was like this, but the Four-Armed Divine King had an Ultimate Weapon fused into his body, so even when facing a siege, he had the confidence to resist.
"We will know when the time comes."
The Starry Sky Alliance Supreme Powerhouse pondered for a moment and then stopped thinking about it.
Even if Human Civilization really had an Eleven-Tier Perfection Evolver fall into the Two-Dimensional World, it was impossible for them to be a match for the Four-Armed Divine King.
Even without the Four-Armed Divine King, it would still be difficult to compare with those other Eleven-Tier Perfection legendary life forms.
In terms of pure combat power, under the same tier, Human Civilization's Evolvers were basically at a disadvantage when facing powerful special life forms.
Eighth-Order Evolvers opened up their Internal World, narrowing the gap with special life forms, but it was only narrowing it.
Deep underground.
Lin Yuan sat cross-legged there. His aura was completely restrained, nearly merging with the surrounding soil, but within his Physical Body, every drop of blood was extremely viscous, and his flesh and internal organs were almost powerful to an unimaginable degree.
"The Fiftieth Realm of the Witch Ancestor."
Lin Yuan straightened his back slightly, and the sound of his bones colliding was actually like a roar, causing the surrounding air to distort.
"It's time to go out."
Lin Yuan slowly stood up and lightly threw a punch. The terrifying power pierced through dozens of miles, forming a wide channel between his current location and the ground.
"I wonder how my current strength compares to the Four-Armed Divine King who possesses an Ultimate Weapon?"
Lin Yuan thought to himself. In terms of Realm, he was certain that he was higher than the Four-Armed Divine King, but as for combat power, he was unclear, since the other party possessed a refined Ultimate Weapon.
No one knew what level of might could be unleashed in this Two-Dimensional World.
"Two hundred years of time… Ever since I stepped into the Fortieth Realm of the Witch Ancestor a hundred years ago, I felt that my progress was getting slower and slower. From the Fortieth Realm to the Fiftieth Realm, it took a full hundred years."
Lin Yuan sighed.
The closer one got to the limit, the greater the difficulty of advancing further.
"Never mind that."
"There are still two months until the Heavenly Gate opens."
"I can set off now."
Lin Yuan took a step forward, and a moment later, he appeared on the ground.
"This time, I will head to Tian Shan, check out the strength of other Experts, and if they are all far inferior to me, I will sweep straight through and enter the Heavenly Gate."
"If there is anyone with combat power close to mine, I will give up this opportunity to open the Heavenly Gate and wait for the next opening of the Heavenly Gate ten thousand years later."
Lin Yuan formulated a plan for himself. The longer the time, the stronger his strength would be. In terms of Realm improvement, Lin Yuan possessed Heaven-Defying Comprehension, and he didn't know how much higher he was compared to those ten thousand races experts. Even Eleven-Tier Perfection legendary life forms were far inferior to him.
Therefore, there was no need to risk his life fighting other Experts during this opening of the Heavenly Gate.
"Head straight to Tian Shan."
"There is no need to stay at the Luo Chuan Gathering Place or the capital of the Blood Rain Ancient Kingdom."
Lin Yuan determined a direction and walked forward with large strides.
Ever since stepping into the Twentieth Realm of the Witch Ancestor, Lin Yuan had rarely appeared at the Luo Chuan Gathering Place. Because his strength was too strong, a slight carelessness might bring heaven-shattering and earth-splitting impacts to the Luo Chuan Gathering Place.
As for the capital of the Blood Rain Ancient Kingdom, aside from taking a look in the very beginning years, Lin Yuan had basically never been back.
More than ten days later.
Lin Yuan was about to arrive at Tian Shan.
"Along this journey, I have already sensed the auras of quite a few ten thousand races experts."
Lin Yuan thought silently in his heart. The vast majority of the ten thousand races experts came in groups. Over the past two hundred years, powerful ten thousand races experts often hunted down other ten thousand races all around, so the ten thousand races experts who survived until now were all grouped together.
ten thousand races experts who did not group up were basically very confident, and with high probability, they were Tier 11 life.
Ever since the ten thousand races experts descended into this Two-Dimensional World, more than three hundred years had passed. Today, the ten thousand races experts still alive did not exceed two hundred thousand.
Out of those two hundred thousand, the number of Tier 11 powerhouses was only a little over two hundred, which had decreased by a third compared to the initial three hundred and odd.
A moment later.
Lin Yuan finally arrived at Tian Shan.
"Is that Tian Shan?"
Lin Yuan stopped his steps, gazed remotely at the towering high mountain in the distance, and his expression turned slightly solemn.
