Chapter 440: Tuoba Ancient God’s Confidence

"This should probably be considered the riverbed, right?"

Lin Yuan observed his surroundings; the more powerful a being's essence of life, the heavier its weight within the River of Time.

It would sink deeper into the River of Time.

And now Lin Yuan was already at the bottom of the River of Time, which was the location of the riverbed.

This could already be considered the deepest part of the River of Time, where there was nothing left to sink further.

"So many lives."

Lin Yuan looked out, and innumerable points of light floated within the River of Time, with each point of light representing a life. Majestic points of life light rose, fell, and drifted with the currents within the River of Time.

Almost all life points of light were unable to revive their consciousness. Wanting to revive consciousness within the River of Time and realize that one was located within the River of Time could only be achieved by thoroughly comprehending the Time Rule.

And comprehending the Time Rule could basically only be done by Eleven-Tier.

"There are some 'small fish', and also a few 'big fish'." Lin Yuan continuously observed while stretching his muscles and bones within the long river.

The more colossal the body shape, the clearer the line of sight within the River of Time, allowing one to see further.

Those lives that had just comprehended the Time Rule could only see a few dozen meters around them within the River of Time, and any further would become blurry.

"I'll try moving against the current."

Lin Yuan's heart stirred, and he began walking against the River of Time towards the direction of the past.

After comprehending the Time Rule, one possessed the ability to move against the current.

But generally, no Eleven-Tier would do this, because it had no meaning at all.

Comprehending the Time Rule could indeed achieve moving against the current, but for an Eleven-Tier life, this kind of action was also extremely exhausting.

After all, it was going against the trend within the River of Time.

When a Supreme Powerhouse specifically went against the current, it was to resurrect beings who died in the past.

An Eleven-Tier life moving against the current? With the essence of life of an Eleven-Tier, it simply could not withstand the backlash of resurrecting beings who died in the past. Even if it merely resurrected a sixth-order life, it would instantly be crushed into nothingness by the mighty River of Time.

"Hmm?"

Lin Yuan trekked step by step along the source of the River of Time and finally stopped.

"This point of life light, it's gray?" Lin Yuan looked at a point of life light in front of him.

A point of light that was gray and no longer flowed along the River of Time was a life that had died in the past.

"With my current essence of life, I should be able to withstand the backlash of forcibly pulling up this point of life light and placing it at the latest time node."

Lin Yuan thought to himself.

This was the 'resurrection' method.

Lin Yuan's essence of life was too powerful; he could already manage to resurrect sixth-order lives that died in the past. Placed among the myriad races of the Cosmic Starry Sky, this was completely a fantasy.

Since ancient times, resurrection was a method possessed only by the Twelfth Order Ultimate. Furthermore, no matter how much of a Prodigy an Eleven-Tier life was, it could not withstand the backlash of resurrection.

"Resurrect a seventh-order life." Lin Yuan cast his gaze once more towards a slightly larger gray point of light in the distance.

Resurrecting this gray point of light already brought some pressure to Lin Yuan's feelings. He could resurrect it, but he would be heavily injured under the backlash of the River of Time.

"Continue upstream against the current."

Lin Yuan tried with considerable interest. For an Eleven-Tier life to move against the current in the River of Time was extremely laborious, but to Lin Yuan, it was very simple. The surging and turbulent water of the River of Time was at most just a bit of resistance.

"Is this the River of Time?"

An Eleven-Tier life who had just comprehended the Time Rule not long ago looked around with full exhilaration.

Comprehending the Time Rule belonged to the second tier among Eleven-Tier beings; it was no longer a newly-promoted Eleven-Tier.

"Too vast."

"Such a vast River of Time, how on earth can one break free?"

In this Eleven-Tier life's heart, there was both excitement and despair.

Being able to step into the Eleven-Tier basically meant harboring extravagant hopes of charging towards the Ultimate.

But right now, this vast River of Time made all Eleven-Tier lives realize

just how slim the possibility of ultimately stepping into the Twelfth Order was for themselves.

What was mapped within the River of Time was the essence of life, allowing one to clearly perceive the gap between oneself and the entire River of Time.

Right now, this Eleven-Tier life felt it extremely laborious even to slightly go against the River of Time, let alone shake off the River of Time.

Suddenly.

Right at this moment.

This Eleven-Tier life that had just stepped into the second tier abruptly felt a terrifying undercurrent surging from the bottom of the River of Time.

The Eleven-Tier life was battered dizzy by this undercurrent and took a long time to recover its wits.

"What on earth happened, that undercurrent—"

The Eleven-Tier life was full of confusion and tried hard to look towards the river bottom.

With his essence of life, he could clearly see a few dozen meters around him, but any further would become incomparably blurry.

"That is?"

The Eleven-Tier life looked as far as possible into the depths of the river bottom, vaguely seeing a colossal monster occupying the entire riverbed, trekking against the River of Time towards the source.

Compared to that blurry colossal monster, the Eleven-Tier life was like an ant.

"Such a massive body size, and also moving against the current, is it a Supreme Powerhouse?" This Eleven-Tier life was shocked in its heart, vaguely feeling something was wrong.

Didn't they say that Supreme Powerhouses have broken free from the shackles of the River of Time? Why are they still within the River of Time?

On the bank of the River of Time.

A towering figure vaguely sensed something and lowered his head to look down at the vast river water.

"Hmm?"

This towering figure was naturally a Twelfth Order Ultimate. He looked at the River of Time with slight confusion, feeling that the surging river water was much more turbulent than usual.

"What is the reason?"

The towering figure furrowed his brows slightly, yet didn't take any action.

The Twelfth Order shaking off the shackles of the River of Time did not mean controlling the River of Time.

In fact, the Twelfth Order's perception of things within the River of Time was very low, which could be seen from the fact that resurrecting beings who died in the past required using the life imprint as a 'coordinate'.

Most crucially, after the Twelfth Order broke free from the River of Time, if they touched the river water within the long river again, it would produce extremely great hidden dangers to their own Foundation and Dao, and there was even the possibility of ending up being shackled by the River of Time once more.

Supreme Powerhouses resurrecting lives that died in the past was also a touch of the river water; they were extremely cautious, releasing their touch the moment they contacted it.

"Did a problem occur with the time flow rate of a certain space?"

The towering figure speculated in his heart. The appearance of redundant churning within the River of Time had as its greatest possibility that the time flow rate of a certain region in the Main Universe differed from the surrounding mainstream time flow rate.

Different time flow rates manifested in the River of Time much like 'reefs'.

The larger the area covered by the time flow rate, and the more the time flow rate differed from the mainstream time flow rate, the larger the 'reef' would be, thereby affecting other areas of the River of Time and producing churning undercurrents.

"Which Ultimate's method is this?"

This towering figure thought casually in his heart. Such a large-scale time flow rate difference could only be achieved by the same level Twelfth Order.

Within the River of Time.

"With my current essence of life, I can at most resurrect seventh-order lives. Resurrecting eighth-order lives cannot withstand the backlash of the River of Time."

After multiple attempts, Lin Yuan came to a conclusion.

The backlash of the River of Time could only be resisted by relying on the essence of life; besides that, any external objects were useless.

"Right now, I can also be considered to possess certain characteristics of a Supreme Powerhouse." A smile appeared on Lin Yuan's face.

Although he couldn't compare with Supreme Powerhouses who could easily resurrect Eleven-Tier lives, Lin Yuan had at least accomplished things that only Supreme Powerhouses could do.

"Let's go back."

Lin Yuan began following the River of Time back to the current time node.

Being in a past time node for a long time would constantly be scoured by the River of Time. Under this circumstance, even though Lin Yuan could persist for a very long time, being at his own time node was the most comfortable.

Galaxy Main Star.

Lin Yuan's consciousness returned.

The numerous attempts within the River of Time gave Lin Yuan a more concrete grasp of himself.

At least up until now, all lives within the River of Time had an essence level far lower than his.

During the period of moving against the current, Lin Yuan had also seen those legendary Eleven-Tier Perfection lives from afar, but compared to himself, they couldn't even compare to his toe.

"There is still a huge gap with Supreme Powerhouses."

"Continue to Cultivate."

Lin Yuan withdrew his thoughts, just as he was about to comprehend the rules.

"Hmm?"

Lin Yuan's heart stirred, and a smile immediately emerged, "Those three supreme weapons have all been successfully refined."

Profound Yellow Secret Realm.

Lin Yuan's Solar Nascent Soul sat cross-legged.

Three weapons slowly floated up and down before him: a silver battle saber, a golden armor, and a dark cyan bead.

Respectively, they were the offensive supreme weapon, the material defense supreme weapon, and the Soul defense supreme weapon.

In Lin Yuan's initial plan, it would probably take several years to successfully refine these three supreme weapons.

But stepping into the Eleven-Tier caused Lin Yuan's all-around enhancement to skyrocket, causing the speed of refining the supreme weapons to soar, and in the end, it only took a few short months to refine these three supreme weapons.

"With these three supreme weapons, my current strength will once again achieve a massive enhancement."

Lin Yuan nodded slightly.

Re-evaluating by combat power.

The combat power of an ordinary Eleven-Tier Perfection was ten.

Lin Yuan's combat power after stepping into the Eleven-Tier was ten thousand.

Now that the two Pillar-level fusion rule had reached the seventh realm, coupled with the successful refinement of these three supreme weapons,

Lin Yuan's Ultimate upper limit combat power would likely reach tens of thousands or even one hundred thousand.

You must know that even the combat power threshold of a Twelfth Order Supreme Powerhouse was right around one million.

"If I deploy the Physical Body Divine Ability 'World' and directly detonate the world, the might in a short time might reach two hundred thousand or three hundred thousand?"

Lin Yuan thought quickly in his heart. The Divine Ability 'World' was Lin Yuan's fifth Physical Body Divine Ability, belonging to a purely offensive Divine Ability.

It was also one of Lin Yuan's most powerful trump cards.

Even the might of a supreme weapon could not compare to the instantaneous might of the Divine Ability 'World' self-detonating.

It was not to say that the supreme weapon was no good, but rather that Lin Yuan could not fully unleash the upper limit of the supreme weapon. Normally, in the hands of the Twelfth Order, a supreme weapon could burst forth with might exceeding one million.

Swish swish.

Holding the silver battle saber, Lin Yuan gently slashed towards space.

A pitch-black crack emerged, faintly revealing the overlapping Void Realm layers outside.

With the supreme weapon initially refined, as long as Lin Yuan was willing, he could tear open the Profound Yellow Secret Realm at will.

Galaxy Main Star.

Lin Yuan tested the might of the supreme weapon, especially the offensive weapon, the silver battle saber, and was quite satisfied in his heart.

However, immediately afterwards, Lin Yuan continued to begin Cultivate.

Although the supreme weapon bestowed a massive enhancement to Lin Yuan's combat power, it was ultimately just an external object.

Lin Yuan hoped even more that he himself was powerful, and relying on supreme weapons meant he still couldn't compare to Supreme Powerhouses.

Time passed.

In the blink of an eye, four months passed.

"The super-large battlefield has opened."

Lin Yuan ended his Cultivate and looked towards the source of the spacetime fluctuations he sensed.

Ever since the super-large battlefield was opened, Lin Yuan felt the spacetime fluctuations emanating from over there at all times.

And just a moment ago, this wave of spacetime fluctuations abruptly subsided.

This meant that the spacetime of the super-large battlefield had already completely stabilized.

"The super-large battlefield."

Lin Yuan's mind stirred slightly. His Solar Nascent Soul stepped out and instantly headed towards the Xia You Evolution Tower.

The super-large battlefield was the highest-rule battlefield opened by the many Peak Groups up to the present. It was sufficient to endure brief clashes and contests of the Twelfth Order level, and could completely accommodate Tier 11 powerhouses holding supreme weapons to slaughter each other wantonly.

The super-large battlefield was completed.

Human Civilization began to summon Tier 11 Evolvers, taking the Evolution High Towers as the core to gather the vast majority of Tier 11 Evolvers.

Although the Nine Supreme Experts of Human Civilization were all clear on Lin Yuan's strength, which could crush Eleven-Tier Perfection,

they still made other preparations.

On the super-large battlefield, on the surface it looked like slaughter between Tier 11 powerhouses, but secretly it was collisions between Twelfth Order Ultimate Existences.

There were many supreme weapons, and even backup plans left behind by various Supreme Powerhouses and Ultimate Existences. Theoretically, Supreme Powerhouses were not allowed to personally step into the arena.

In reality, no one knew.

The so-called rules of the super-large battlefield were all personally formulated by the Supreme Powerhouses.

If things really flared up into a fierce battle, it was still possible for Supreme Powerhouse to make a move.

Of course, this possibility was very small. Most Supreme Powerhouses paid attention to face, and unless it was an absolute last resort, they would not break the rules they set themselves.

Within the Zerg territory.

Tuoba Ancient God and a group of Tier 11 ancient gods stepped out from a certain space of the Zerg.

"Tuoba, your Clone hasn't been Cultivate out yet to this day. Do you plan to enter the super-large Alien Race Battlefield with your main body's true form?" An ancient god beside him looked at Tuoba Ancient God and couldn't help speaking up.

The opening of the super-large battlefield was also exceptionally valued by the Zerg Grand Alliance. Not only did they order the many Tier 11 powerhouses within the Alliance to participate, but they also paid a heavy price to invite Eleven-Tier lone rangers everywhere.

Tuoba Ancient God was one of them.

Tuoba Ancient God had no thoughts of risking his life for the Zerg, but the Zerg gave simply too much.

So much that Tuoba Ancient God couldn't help dispatching his true main body.

Ever since Tuoba Ancient God's Clone perished at Lin Yuan's hands within the Two-Dimensional World,

over the past few centuries, Tuoba Ancient God's Clone had not been completely Cultivate out.

To be precise, Tuoba Ancient God had already condensed a Clone, but up until now, the Clone's combat power had a large gap compared to the main body's true form.

Condensing a Clone was easy, but condensing a Clone with strength close to the main body's true form required spending a massive amount of time, energy, and even resources.

Furthermore, because of the Two-Dimensional World, Tuoba Ancient God's mental will suffered permanent losses. Forcibly condensing a Clone again would also have a huge impact on his own strength.

"Rest assured, I know what I'm doing."

Tuoba Ancient God looked at the ancient god who reminded him and responded.

Since he dared to agree to the Zerg, he definitely had absolute certainty in his heart.
