Chapter 435: Stepping into Eleven-Tier

The River of Time surges mightily.

Flowing from the ancient past toward the distant future.

It seems eternal and unchanging.

Even the most astonishingly talented life-forms, as long as they have not made the Ultimate leap…

At most, they can only stir up a corner of the river's spray, ultimately perishing as the River of Time withers.

On the shore.

Towering figures appear one after another, carefully observing every detail around the River of Time.

During the period when a Tier 11 life charges towards the Ultimate, external forces cannot stop it.

However, once the Breakthrough is complete and they successfully step into the Twelfth Order…

They are bound to "Go Ashore".

This is also an opportunity for the Supreme Powerhouses of the Zerg and the Heaven Wing Clan.

Ultimate Existences who have just entered the Twelfth Order are undoubtedly at their weakest.

Even with the protection of the Nine Supreme Experts of Human Civilization, a sudden sneak attack by them can still cause a significant impact.

The Supreme Powerhouses of the Zerg, Heaven Wing Clan, and others do not expect to kill that Supreme Powerhouse of Human Civilization, but at least they can injure the other party.

In this way, their pressure later on will be much lighter.

Launching a sneak attack while a Twelfth Order Life is "Going Ashore" constitutes a feud of obstructing one's Dao, and it is bound to be irreconcilable.

Therefore.

Under normal circumstances, no Supreme Powerhouse standing on the shore would easily do this.

Mainly because even an Ultimate who has just stepped into the Twelfth Order is not so easy to kill; their essence of life has undergone the Ultimate leap, making it very difficult for them to truly die.

And once it fails, it will establish a mortal enemy that is fundamentally irreconcilable for themselves and the forces behind them.

The magnitude of this hidden danger is even related to the end of the cosmic era in the future, where numerous Twelfth Order Lives "strive to cross" to resist the Destruction Power of the Great Annihilation.

However, this kind of impact holds little meaning for the Zerg and the Heaven Wing Clan.

Human Civilization and they inherently share an irreconcilable hatred.

Even if they did not make a move, the hatred between the two sides would not disappear.

If a Tier 11 life of Perfection in the Zerg or the Heaven Wing Clan successfully steps into the Twelfth Order and carries out "Going Ashore", the Nine Supreme Experts of Human Civilization would probably seize the opportunity to strike without hesitation.

In the struggles between groups, there is never such a thing as the strong bullying the weak.

In the current Cosmic Starry Sky among all clans, the most critical reason why Supreme Powerhouses rarely enter the fray themselves is that if everyone enters the fray, it is equivalent to none entering.

Moreover, if the intensity of the war is too high, it will also affect the development of the forces of various Peak Groups.

That is why the current balance is maintained.

If there were a chance to eradicate other group forces in one fell swoop, there would probably be no hesitation at all.

"Wait."

"We will just watch from the shore."

"Once that Eleven-Tier Evolver of humanity 'Goes Ashore', you must not hold back."

The many Supreme Powerhouses of the Zerg, Heaven Wing Clan, and others glanced at each other, while also remaining vigilant against the traces of the Nine Supreme Experts of Human Civilization.

Since they could think of 'sniping' on the shore of the River of Time, the Supreme Powerhouses of Human Civilization certainly had precautions in place as well.

What both sides are currently competing on is their respective strength and foundations.

Milky Way Star Territory.

Deep within the spatial layers.

Lin Yuan did his utmost to guide the endless Chaotic Void Origin into his body.

His Physical Body, Soul, and Internal World began to skyrocket frantically as if they had consumed a potent tonic.

Especially the Internal World, which began to experience a 'feeling of fullness' twenty seconds after enduring the infusion of the Chaotic Void Origin.

Along with this 'feeling of fullness', a certain sensation of breaking through the limits of shackles also welled up in his heart.

That was why Lin Yuan did not stop absorbing the Chaotic Void Origin.

Thirty seconds.

The 'feeling of fullness' intensified further.

Forty seconds.

The 'feeling of fullness' reached a certain limit.

Fifty seconds.

The 'feeling of fullness' vanished with a boom.

At the same time.

The Internal World, which was originally 233 million li in radius, seemed to tear through a layer of thin paper, and its area skyrocketed crazily once again.

2.3 billion li.

3.3 billion li.

4.3 billion li.

11 billion li.

When the Chaotic Void Origin infusion reached the 300th second.

Lin Yuan's Internal World had already reached a radius of 600 billion li.

The vast World Power fed back into his Physical Body and Soul, coupled with the continuous absorption of the Chaotic Void Origin; Lin Yuan's strength had improved by an unknown amount compared to before his Breakthrough.

Very quickly.

The 333 seconds came to an end.

The crack spanning hundreds of light-years in the sky quickly began to heal.

The aura of the Chaotic Void Origin also rapidly receded.

"According to normal circumstances, when a Tier 11 life of Perfection charges towards the Ultimate, at this moment they would make the Ultimate leap, utilizing the gap where the Chaotic Void Origin descends and the Universe's Dao Rules yield, to step into that critical step."

Lin Yuan thought to himself inwardly.

When the Chaotic Void Origin descends, the various rule restrictions within the Universe will naturally disappear and yield temporarily; this is also the best period for a Tier 11 life of Perfection to charge towards the Ultimate.

Once this opportunity is lost, wanting to charge towards the Ultimate again is almost impossible to achieve.

Any life-form charging towards the Ultimate means completely shaking off the restrictions of the Universe; under such circumstances, the Universe will naturally try its best to stop it.

Becoming a Supreme Powerhouse and shaking off the shackles of the River of Time means that it is possible to take everything absorbed from within the Universe completely out.

"However, I don't need to do so."

Lin Yuan shook his head slightly; he still had one more opportunity to trigger the infusion of the Chaotic Void Origin.

Although with Lin Yuan's foundation, he could completely bypass Eleven-Tier right now and charge towards the Ultimate, the risk was still too great.

Lin Yuan still had plenty of room for improvement. Not to mention comprehending the legendary Chaos Rules, the deeper the foundation accumulated in Eleven-Tier, the greater the heights for charging into the Twelfth Order.

"My Internal World has now reached a radius of 800 billion li—"

Lin Yuan's consciousness descended into the Internal World. Compared with the Internal World, which was only a little over 200 million li in radius before the Breakthrough, today's Internal World had undergone Reinforcement by an unknown multiple.

"I haven't completely absorbed 99% of the Chaotic Void Origin power; instead, I've accumulated it deep within the Internal World."

Lin Yuan wore a thoughtful expression.

Tearing open a crack of hundreds of light-years and welcoming the descent of the Chaotic Void Origin, the commotion of Lin Yuan breaking through to Tier 10 was not the least bit smaller than a Tier 11 charging towards the Ultimate.

The Chaotic Void Origin ultimately endured was not the least bit less than a Tier 11 charging towards the Ultimate.

When the Eleven-Tier level charges towards the Ultimate, once successful, the Internal World evolves into an internal Universe, and the essence of life undergoes an Ultimate transformation. Ultimately, the size of the internal Universe will reach anywhere from tens of thousands of light-years to 100,000 light-years.

However, Lin Yuan's Internal World stopped at a radius of 600 billion li precisely because the vast majority of the Chaotic Void Origin power had not been completely absorbed.

Because Lin Yuan did not undergo life transformation—when an Eleven-Tier charges towards the Ultimate and completes the life transformation, it will rapidly absorb the accumulated Chaotic Void Origin.

But Lin Yuan did not undergo the Ultimate transformation, so those Chaotic Void Origins still remained immersed deep within the Internal World.

"This is fine too; they have all transformed into my foundation. When I truly charge towards the Ultimate, the final size of my Internal World will probably exceed the range of tens of thousands of light-years to 100,000 light-years."

Lin Yuan thought to himself.

Furthermore, because Lin Yuan accumulated a large amount of Chaotic Void Origin this time, leading to a massive enhancement in his foundation, when he truly charges towards the Ultimate, the Chaos Void's judgment of Lin Yuan will increase, the crack torn open will be even broader, and the infused Chaotic Void Origin will reach an unimaginable degree.

"Is my Internal World now still called a world?"

Lin Yuan overlooked the Internal World with a radius of 600 billion li. The endless Chaos Void infusion was constantly making the Internal World undergo transformation, opening up more spatial layers, and so on.

"It is between an Internal World and an internal Universe."

Lin Yuan thought silently in his heart. His current Internal World far surpassed the conventional meaning of an Internal World, yet it was still inferior to the internal Universe of a Supreme Powerhouse.

"My strength after the Breakthrough?"

"Hmm?"

Lin Yuan began to sense carefully.

His Physical Body and Soul had improved by more than a hundredfold compared to before the Breakthrough.

The most crucial thing was still the Internal World, vast with a radius of 600 billion li. You must know that the Internal Worlds of other Tier 11 lives, depending on the level of their group's Bloodline, were only around ten million li to tens of millions of li in radius.

And Lin Yuan?

Directly 600 billion li in radius?

Ordinary Tier 11 lives were as weak as ants in front of Lin Yuan.

According to Lin Yuan's previous classification standards, if the combat power of an Eleven-Tier of Perfection was described as ten.

Then Lin Yuan's combat power before the Breakthrough was roughly around one hundred.

But now, Lin Yuan, who had already stepped into Eleven-Tier, had combat power exceeding ten thousand.

Ten thousand and one hundred looked like just a hundredfold increase, but it wasn't calculated like that in reality. One hundred Experts with a combat power of one hundred joining forces would be crushed by an expert with a combat power of ten thousand.

Let alone one hundred, even a thousand or ten thousand, when facing an existence with a combat power of ten thousand, the outcome would still be the same, with zero ability to resist.

Simply put, with Lin Yuan's combat power at this moment, he could completely be considered a standalone tier between Eleven-Tier and Twelfth Order.

The gap between Eleven-Tier and Twelfth Order was like a natural chasm.

But the gap between Eleven-Tier and Lin Yuan was also about the same as a natural chasm.

Even a legendary Tier 11 life of Perfection holding a supreme weapon would, in front of Lin Yuan, at most rely on the supreme weapon itself to barely preserve a single life.

Moreover, if this supreme weapon was not of the defensive type, but rather of the offensive type, it probably wouldn't even be able to preserve its life.

"Nowadays, the only ones who can truly pose a threat to me are probably the Twelfth Order, right."

Lin Yuan thought to himself, while simultaneously raising his head to look towards a certain region.

"All Nine Supreme Experts have come."

Lin Yuan vaguely sensed nine vast auras.

Before breaking through, Lin Yuan was completely unable to perceive whether Supreme Powerhouses had descended; it was only after receiving notice from Supreme Being Xia Qin that he began to proceed with the Breakthrough.

But now, the enhancement of Realm strength, coupled with his mastery of space and time, allowed Lin Yuan to vaguely lock onto the auras of the Supreme Powerhouses.

Of course, this was because the Nine Supreme Experts of Human Civilization were all Incarnations, and they did not deliberately conceal their auras.

"It's time to go and meet the Supreme Experts."

Lin Yuan got up, walked out from deep within the spatial layers, and headed towards the Nine Supreme Experts of Human Civilization.

Without the Nine Supreme Experts, Lin Yuan's Breakthrough this time would have long since made all clans of the Universe aware, and those alien Supreme Powerhouses would definitely have intervened.

Ever since the birth of the Universe, any Tier 11 life of Perfection before charging towards the Ultimate would seek out a certain Supreme Powerhouse to act as their backing.

The first Supreme Powerhouse of Human Civilization came about this way: seeking an Ultimate Existence, paying many prices, obtaining their protection, and finally successfully stepping into the Twelfth Order.

The River of Time surges mightily.

The many Supreme Powerhouses of the Zerg, Heaven Wing Clan, and others waited patiently.

In the distance, the towering figures of other Supreme Powerhouses were vague and indistinct.

The Twelfth Order Experts of the Zerg, Heaven Wing Clan, and others intended to snipe that newly-promoted Supreme Powerhouse of Human Civilization, while other Ultimate Existences were happy to watch the show.

"Hmm?"

"It's been so long, why is there not the slightest fluctuation in the River of Time?"

The Supreme Powerhouses of the Zerg and the Heaven Wing Clan frowned slightly; if this possibility appeared, there was only one reason.

That was that the Human Evolver who charged towards the Ultimate ultimately failed.

Failing to charge towards the Ultimate meant everything about oneself would be erased, naturally making it impossible to "Go Ashore".

"Failed?"

"That's right, how could charging towards the Ultimate be so simple."

"We were still too nervous."

The Ultimate Existences of the Zerg and the Heaven Wing Clan glanced at each other and breathed a slight sigh of relief.

If possible, they were also unwilling to snipe, because it would inevitably mean fighting to the death with the Nine Supreme Experts of Human Civilization.

Slaughter between Supreme Powerhouses and Ultimates mostly resulted in killing one thousand enemies while losing eight hundred of one's own, holding little major significance, especially since those madman Supreme Experts of Human Civilization, if truly driven to desperation, might resort to methods where both jade and common stones are burned together.

Therefore.

The current result.

Is undoubtedly the best.

That Evolver of Human Civilization who charged towards the Ultimate failed the charge.

It spared the Zerg and the Heaven Wing Clan an enemy, and there was no need to fight and slaughter with the Supreme Experts of Human Civilization—it was simply perfect.

The only thing that puzzled the Supreme Powerhouses of the Zerg and the Heaven Wing Clan was that the Evolver of Human Civilization who charged towards the Ultimate failed far too 'easily'.

With the foundation of Human Civilization, since they dared to let the other party charge towards the Ultimate, they definitely made numerous preparations. Even if they ultimately failed, it would surely stir up ripples or even spray in the River of Time.

Yet just now.

From beginning to end, none of the Supreme Powerhouses perceived any ripples on the River of Time.

This meant that that Human Evolver failed not long after starting to charge towards the Ultimate, which was why the River of Time remained so calm.

Although the Supreme Powerhouses of the Zerg, Heaven Wing Clan, and others were puzzled by this, they did not dwell on it. After all, triggering an infusion of Origin of that scale in the Chaos Void would inevitably lead to the Ultimate leap.

And if the Ultimate leap was successful, they would "Go Ashore".

Now that there was no "Going Ashore", it meant failure.

Although the Supreme Powerhouses of the Zerg and the Heaven Wing Clan were puzzled, they grasped the fundamental logical causality.

That was that the Evolver of Human Civilization who charged towards the Ultimate did not ultimately step into the Twelfth Order.

Otherwise, they would carry out "Going Ashore".

Without stepping into the Twelfth Order, the outcome would be complete demise.

Milky Way Star Territory.

The hearts of the Nine Supreme Experts of Human Civilization could not calm down for a long time.

They watched the crack in the Chaos Void quickly heal, not knowing what to say for a moment.

"This little fellow is too terrifying."

Gu Li Supreme Expert shook his head slightly. There were not many things that could frighten Supreme Powerhouses, but right now the Nine Supreme Experts of Human Civilization were clearly startled quite badly.

In fact, if other alien Supreme Powerhouses learned that what caused the commotion just now was merely Tier 10 charging towards Eleven-Tier, they would probably lose their composure directly.

"Human Civilization has birthed a remarkable existence."

This thought suddenly surged in the hearts of the remaining Supreme Experts.
