Chapter 478 Lin Yuan and Demon Abyss Ancestor

After Lin Yuan's space-time comprehension stepped into the Space-Time Sevenfold Realm, as long as he was still within the range of space-time he could perceive, he could condense an Incarnation at any location.

The Space-Time Sixfold Realm allowed Lin Yuan to arrive instantly wherever his mind reached.

The "instant" here still required time.

It was merely exceptionally brief.

However, the Space-Time Sevenfold Realm allowed Lin Yuan to achieve simultaneous arrival.

This was undoubtedly much stronger than the Space-Time Sixfold Realm. Crossing in the Space-Time Sixfold Realm required traversing specific distances.

There might be blockades in the middle; for example, certain perilous space-time lands could not be crossed by relying on space-time shuttle travel.

But the Space-Time Sevenfold Realm was different. No matter how many perilous mazes separated them, as long as it was still within the space-time range Lin Yuan could perceive, he could arrive directly.

The space-time range Lin Yuan could perceive nowadays was roughly equivalent to the size of dozens of Immortal Realms.

The Immortal Realm was vast and boundless, equivalent to one-percent of the Main Universe's territory. Dozens of Immortal Realms were already equivalent to more than half of the Main Universe.

In other words, if he returned to the Main Universe, Lin Yuan could appear at any position in most of the Main Universe's territory with just a single thought.

Even if he used his two Primordial Spirits as "anchor points" to guard the key nodes of the Main Universe respectively, he could completely achieve instantaneous appearance at all positions within the Main Universe range.

The only drawback was that what descended was only an Incarnation.

However, with Lin Yuan's current rule comprehension and mental will strength, even if it was just an Incarnation, the combat power it could unleash far exceeded a Demon Lord.

And at necessary moments, he could completely use the "Incarnation" as coordinates for his true main body to descend.

Just now, Lin Yuan was guiding the many Martial Dao cultivators of the Spirit Realm into the Immortal Realm using space-time channels as a medium when he perceived the peeping of the Demon Abyss Ancestor.

Thus, he simply came over to see the Demon Abyss Ancestor.

In fact, even if the Demon Abyss Ancestor did not peep, Lin Yuan intended to come and see this Dominator of the Demon Abyss, a Twelfth Order existence.

"Martial Dao Ancestor?"

The Demon Abyss Ancestor had a solemn expression. He carefully observed Lin Yuan in front of him, discovering that the other party seemed not to be in this space-time, and what was conversing with him was only an image and a projection.

"I have never heard of you." The Demon Abyss Ancestor's tone was doubtful.

Although he was in deep slumber most of the time, with Lin Yuan's strength, he would inevitably have left traces in the distant past.

But in reality, the Demon Abyss Ancestor had never heard of the name Martial Dao Ancestor.

"It doesn't matter if you haven't heard of it now; just remember it from now on," Lin Yuan said.

In fact, over the past several hundred years, driven by the Taiyin Primordial Spirit, Martial Dao had also been spreading.

But the commotion was too small; even most forces in the Xuantian Immortal Domain had never heard of it.

Let alone the high-and-mighty Demon Abyss Ancestor.

Hearing this, the Demon Abyss Ancestor was silent for a moment and asked, "I wonder what brings the Martial Dao Ancestor here this time?"

"There are indeed two matters," Lin Yuan nodded and said.

This was also his main purpose for descending to see the Demon Abyss Ancestor.

"Please speak." The Demon Abyss Ancestor looked at Lin Yuan.

With his level, no one had ever dared to make requests of him like this.

But the space-time attainments displayed by Lin Yuan caused the Demon Abyss Ancestor to feel immense pressure.

"Since I am the Martial Dao Ancestor, naturally I walk the path of Martial Dao, and I have also cultivated some Disciples and followers. In the future, they will walk in the Immortal Realm."

Lin Yuan sighed, "I hope the Demon Abyss Ancestor will not make a move against those weak Disciples and followers of mine, nor actively suppress and strangle the Martial Dao cultivation system."

If the Martial Dao cultivation system wanted to exist for a long time in the Immortal Realm, besides needing dissemination at the grass-roots level, more importantly, it was the attitude of Twelfth Order existences like the Demon Abyss Ancestor.

If the Demon Abyss Ancestor loathed the Martial Dao cultivation system, even if one day the Martial Dao cultivation system spread across the Thirty-Three Immortal Realms of the Immortal Realm, it was destined to perish.

Of course, this was established on the premise that Lin Yuan did not make a move.

"The Martial Dao cultivation system."

The Demon Abyss Ancestor's gaze was deep and abstruse. After pondering for a long time, he said, "I will not make a move."

With his status, position, and strength, even if Lin Yuan hadn't said this, he would disdain making a move against the weak.

In the past battles between Immortals and Demons time and time again, it was all done by monsters casually condensed by the Demon Abyss Ancestor. As for the Demon Abyss Ancestor himself, he had never made a move.

"Another matter," Lin Yuan smiled slightly and continued, "I heard that the Immortal Realm Source Land contains the manifestation of the most fundamental rules of the Immortal Realm, so I plan to go to the Immortal Realm Source Land for a look."

As soon as these words were spoken.

The Demon Abyss Ancestor narrowed his eyes.

"I do not understand the Martial Dao Ancestor's meaning. The Immortal Realm Source Land is not the Demon Abyss."

The Demon Abyss Ancestor's meaning was very clear: the Immortal Realm Source Land was the territory of the Immortal Path Ancestor, and Lin Yuan should go and ask the Immortal Path Ancestor instead.

"Hahaha," Lin Yuan laughed and said, "All Immortals of the Immortal Realm, as well as the monsters of the Demon Abyss, all think that the Immortal Path Ancestor and the Demon Abyss Ancestor are hostile, and the battle between Immortals and Demons stems from this."

"However, the Immortal Path Ancestor and the Demon Abyss Ancestor should share the same consciousness? Asking you is no different from asking the Immortal Path Ancestor, right?"

Lin Yuan looked at the Demon Abyss Ancestor.

It had to be said that the Demon Abyss Ancestor and the Immortal Path Ancestor were very different. Even those Twelfth Order Ultimates in the Main Universe might not be able to see that the two were originally one entity.

It was only after his space-time comprehension reached the Space-Time Sevenfold Realm that Lin Yuan, through the clues of the space-time Domain and the space-time structure of the Immortal Realm and Demon Abyss, finally concluded that the so-called Immortal Realm had only one Ultimate Existence from beginning to end.

As for the Immortal Path Ancestor and the Demon Abyss Ancestor, they were merely two sides of the same coin.

"You actually saw through it." No expression could be seen on the Demon Abyss Ancestor's face.

Since Lin Yuan had stated it so clearly, there was no need for him to continue disguising.

"By fluke," Lin Yuan smiled and said.

In fact, even without stepping into the Space-Time Sevenfold Realm, Lin Yuan already had suspicions about these two Ultimates, the Demon Abyss Ancestor and the Immortal Path Ancestor.

Unlike all living beings in the Immortal Realm, Lin Yuan came from the Main Universe, which had numerous Supreme Powerhouses, and he knew clearly just how difficult it was to give birth to a Twelve-Order Life.

Yet in the Immortal Realm, there were two Twelfth Order Ultimates?

If it were just like this, Lin Yuan wouldn't think too much about it. With the volume of the Immortal Realm, accommodating two Twelfth Order beings was more than enough.

But the paths taken by these two Twelfth Order existences were completely opposite. In fact, it wasn't just completely opposite; those Immortals and monsters faintly had a sense of complementarity.

All monsters were extremely eager to devour the flesh and blood of Immortals. In fact, Immortals could also devour Devilish Qi, but Devilish Qi had high corrosiveness, and if Immortals devoured monsters, they were easily demonized.

But no matter what, the fact that Immortals and monsters could be complementary had already caused Lin Yuan to generate many associations.

Monsters originated from the Demon Abyss Ancestor, and Immortals walked the Immortal Dao cultivation path passed down by the Immortal Path Ancestor.

Monsters and Immortals being complementary meant that the Demon Abyss Ancestor and the Immortal Path Ancestor were also in a complementary relationship. Were Twelfth Order existences all the Ultimate and unique ones of their respective evolutionary paths?

Complementary?

There was only one possibility, and that was that these two Twelfth Order beings had an extremely deep connection, or were simply the exact same person.

"If you want to enter the Source Land, you must also agree to one request of mine," the Demon Abyss Ancestor looked at Lin Yuan and said.

"What request?" A smile appeared on Lin Yuan's face.

Unless it was absolutely necessary, Lin Yuan was still somewhat reluctant to fall out too badly with the Demon Abyss Ancestor.

After all, Lin Yuan's time staying in this world was limited. Unless he could solve the Demon Abyss Ancestor once and for all, he was still prepared to coexist in a "peaceful" manner as much as possible.

"I can perceive that you have not stepped into the Dao Ancestor Realm," the Demon Abyss Ancestor said, "Not a Dao Ancestor, yet possessing such space-time attainments, so I want to spar with you."

"Spar?" Lin Yuan nodded, "No problem."

The Demon Abyss Ancestor wanted to spar with him, probably intending to figure out in what exact form Lin Yuan existed.

Relying solely on perception and peeping, the Demon Abyss Ancestor could not lock onto Lin Yuan's specific location, but if he directly made a move, he would probably completely break ties with Lin Yuan.

Therefore, he wanted to test the waters in the form of sparring.

Lin Yuan was also very happy about this. Up until now, he had never fought against a Twelfth Order Ultimate.

On the super-large battlefield, Lin Yuan swept and crushed all directions, but what he dealt with were Eleventh Order Experts holding Twelfth Order weapons.

As for Twelfth Order Experts themselves? He had only had an instantaneous contact with that Myriad Transformation Mother Empress of the Zerg race, but it was immediately isolated by Supreme Being Xuan Yuan.

"Where do you plan to spar?" the Demon Abyss Ancestor asked.

The Demon Abyss was the territory of the Demon Abyss Ancestor. Here, the Demon Abyss Ancestor's strength would receive a large degree of blessing, which was why he asked this question.

Since it was a sparring match, it meant they weren't enemies, so they should be as fair as possible.

If they were enemies, the Demon Abyss Ancestor naturally wouldn't give up any advantage and wouldn't show any courtesy.

"Right here," Lin Yuan glanced around and said.

"Are you sure?" the Demon Abyss Ancestor asked.

Sparring on his home turf, was this Martial Dao Ancestor so confident?

"Sure," Lin Yuan smiled and said.

Although the Demon Abyss Ancestor was a Twelfth Order Ultimate, he fundamentally did not know the height of the Space-Time Sevenfold Realm.

Actually, this was normal. Although the Immortal Realm was barely at the same level as the Main Universe, outside the Main Universe, there was the Chaos Void, where many Twelfth Order Sovereign Realm and even Twelfth Order Chaos Realm Experts existed.

Their understanding of Realms far exceeded that of the Demon Abyss Ancestor.

If it were a Twelfth Order Proving Dao Realm expert of the Chaos Void, upon discovering that Lin Yuan's space-time comprehension had reached the Space-Time Sevenfold Realm, they would not have any thoughts of sparring at all.

In the center of the Demon Abyss, vast and empty, Lin Yuan and the Demon Abyss Ancestor faced each other from afar.

"Make your move."

"As long as you can attack me, you win."

Lin Yuan smiled and looked at the Demon Abyss Ancestor.

The Demon Abyss Ancestor's body shrank to about ten meters, and dark, profound auras drifted around his body, constantly devouring the Devilish Qi from all directions like a black hole.

"Could this Martial Dao Ancestor think that I can't touch him at all?" The Demon Abyss Ancestor gazed at Lin Yuan and thought to himself.

Yes.

He indeed could not lock onto Lin Yuan's specific location coordinates.

But being unable to lock onto specific location coordinates did not mean he couldn't attack him.

It was like a complex anthill; people outside really couldn't lock onto the position of an ant inside.

Not knowing where this ant was in the anthill.

But wanting to deal with this ant didn't necessarily require finding out where this ant was.

One only needed to destroy this anthill completely, and the ants inside would naturally die without a doubt.

This was the thought of the Demon Abyss Ancestor. Since he couldn't lock onto Lin Yuan's position, he would destroy all space-time he could perceive.

"Your Excellency, be careful." The Demon Abyss Ancestor raised his hand, and mighty Devilish Qi surged, instantly collapsing a large range of space-time.

As a Twelfth Order existence, every move of the Demon Abyss Ancestor could affect the surrounding space-time, just like a fish in the water; casual tail-wagging could raise layers of ripples.

Swish.

The terrifying space-time shock instantly dissipated in all directions. Lin Yuan, as the target of the space-time shock, was also enveloped within it, and endless Devilish Qi completely covered Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan stood quietly there without moving. All the Devilish Qi passed through his body as if passing through the Void Realm, and then surged backward.

After the Devilish Qi covered him, Lin Yuan was still standing there. If not for the surrounding oscillating space-time, it was as if nothing had happened at all.

"It didn't cause any impact at all?" The Demon Abyss Ancestor felt pressure.

The strike he just unleashed, although just a test, specifically tested the breadth on the space-time level.

In the Demon Abyss Ancestor's view, even if he couldn't do anything to Lin Yuan, he could at least slightly affect him, such as the residual aftermath slightly lifting Lin Yuan's hemline, etc.

But now it seemed.

The strike he unleashed was probably incomparably far away from Lin Yuan's true position.

"This move is not bad," Lin Yuan nodded and evaluated.

Facing the strike of a Twelfth Order Ultimate Existence head-on was a rare experience even for Lin Yuan.

The Space-Time Sevenfold Realm put Lin Yuan in an absolutely safe state, which was why he could observe that strike of the Demon Abyss Ancestor just now more meticulously.

"Not bad?"

The Demon Abyss Ancestor took a deep breath, and immediately the entire Demon Abyss began to contract, "Then take a look at this move of mine."

Rumble.

All directions.

Up, down, left, and right.

Countless layers of space-time were like solidifying. Lin Yuan was like an insect inside amber. Following that, at the edge of space-time, tiny cracks appeared one after another.

The cracks rapidly spread, diffused, and split, filling everything in front of him in the blink of an eye.

The next moment.

The surrounding space-time shattered like broken glass, and large areas of dark space-time fissures emerged. That was the scenery outside the Immortal Realm. This strike of the Demon Abyss Ancestor had already torn open all spatial layers of the Immortal Realm, creating a huge gap connecting to the outside of the Immortal Realm.

"Hmm?"

The Demon Abyss Ancestor looked towards Lin Yuan's previous position again, discovering that Lin Yuan was still standing there. The space-time filled with a grand destructive aura was shattered, yet it did not affect him by a fraction.

This scene shocked the Demon Abyss Ancestor immensely.

"I have completely penetrated the space-time of the Immortal Realm, yet I still haven't been able to affect the Martial Dao Ancestor in the slightest?" The Demon Abyss Ancestor immediately confirmed one point, "The space-time where this Martial Dao Ancestor is located has probably transcended the Immortal Realm. Even if the Immortal Realm is destroyed, it cannot cause any containment to him."

"The power of the Demon Abyss Ancestor's move is indeed much stronger than the previous one," Lin Yuan immediately praised, "It is almost approaching me. Would the Demon Abyss Ancestor like to continue trying?"

Actually, this move of the Demon Abyss Ancestor was still a very long distance away from Lin Yuan's specific space-time position, but he still had to encourage the Demon Abyss Ancestor.

"No need."

"I truly cannot touch the Martial Dao Ancestor."

The Demon Abyss Ancestor was silent for a moment and immediately spoke.
