Chapter 511: Behind Lin Yuan

One of Lin Yuan's Incarnations was stationed long-term in the Venerable Gu Ming Chaos Continent, where Twelfth Order Experts gathered, having precise classifications for the Pilgrimage Realm Peak strength.

The Internal World of a Pilgrimage Realm Peak ranged from 1.5 million light-years to 2 million light-years.

Although Lin Yuan's current Internal World was only 500,000 light-years, his comprehension of rules far surpassed that of a Pilgrimage Realm Peak, especially regarding Chaos Rules, which was a comprehension that even those in the Peak Sovereign Realm desperately yearned for.

Taken altogether, Lin Yuan's current combat power already slightly exceeded that of a Pilgrimage Realm Peak.

"Next is the Ultimate Leap." Lin Yuan's expression was slightly solemn.

Impacting the Ultimate was divided into two stages.

The first was enduring the infusion of the Chaotic Void Origin; this was a benefit, a bestowal from the Chaos Void.

The second was the Ultimate Leap, at which point one had to face the backlash from the River of Time and the Universe itself; this was the true difficult barrier.

Many Eleven-Tier Perfection beings were extremely terrified of impacting the Ultimate precisely because of the Ultimate Leap.

"The Ultimate… Leap!"

Lin Yuan did not hesitate. Within ten breaths after the infusion of the Chaotic Void Origin concluded, he had to perform the Ultimate Leap.

"Hum, hum, hum!"

The next moment.

Lin Yuan's aura suddenly vanished.

This was a complete disappearance, vanishing entirely from anywhere within this Universe.

Even the associated Karma vanished along with it.

"The Galaxy Star Master has begun the Ultimate Leap."

The moment Lin Yuan's aura completely disappeared, Human Civilization's Nine Supreme Experts immediately reacted.

The Ultimate Leap involved leaping everything about oneself out of the River of Time, pursuing the transformation of one's life essence. During this process, any aura and Karma would also leap out of the River of Time together.

"Lin Yuan, you must succeed."

Supreme Being Xia Qin thought silently to himself. Having watched Lin Yuan grow from the eighth tier to the present, he had developed quite an emotional attachment. No matter what aspect was considered—even casting aside the influential factors of Human Civilization—Supreme Being Xia Qin genuinely hoped Lin Yuan would successfully impact the Ultimate.

"The Galaxy Star Master will definitely step into the Twelfth Order."

Supreme Being Xuan Yuan looked toward the other eight Supreme Powerhouses and said solemnly, "With the foundation of the Galaxy Star Master, if even he cannot step into the Twelfth Order, I cannot think of anyone else who can, and how could the rest of us have stepped into the Twelfth Order?"

"Indeed."

"The Galaxy Star Master will certainly be able to step into the Twelfth Order."

One Supreme Powerhouse of Human Civilization after another nodded and spoke, all of them holding immense confidence in Lin Yuan.

"My good Disciple." On the Crimson Kun Main Star, Red Kun Star Lord similarly faintly sensed the fluctuations in spacetime, deducing that it was Lin Yuan impacting the Ultimate.

"You must not run into any trouble." Red Kun Star Lord was very nervous. Although he was only at the ninth tier, he also knew that there was no such thing as a guaranteed success when impacting the Ultimate.

No matter how powerful an Eleven-Tier being was, there was still a possibility of failure.

Red Kun Star Lord valued Lin Yuan his young Disciple very much. Compared to Supreme Being Xia Qin, Red Kun Star Lord had watched the other party grow step by step since Lin Yuan was at the fifth tier.

Although the time from taking Lin Yuan in until now was not long, Red Kun Star Lord treated Lin Yuan with no difference from a blood relative.

Within Human Civilization, Disciples were family, and teachers were also family, their relationships even closer than those of biological relatives.

"Galaxy Star Master, you must absolutely not succeed in impacting the Ultimate. If you succeed, what will the rest of us do?" The Twelve-Order Ultimates of numerous Peak Groups harbored different thoughts, yet they shared one common idea.

That was absolutely not hoping that the Galaxy Star Master would smoothly step into the Ultimate.

"Galaxy Star Master, you must die, dying under the backlash of the River of Time."

Heavenly Feather Dust's gaze was gloomy. Because of Lin Yuan, he had fallen into the River of Time for quite some time, and coupled with the shattering of two pairs of wings, his hope of surviving the great destruction of the Universe had plummeted drastically.

At this moment, he most hoped that Lin Yuan would fail in impacting the Ultimate.

Because if Lin Yuan successfully stepped into the Twelfth Order, then he, Heavenly Feather Dust, would forever lose any hope of revenge.

How could he take revenge? He couldn't do anything against the Galaxy Star Master when he wasn't yet at the Twelfth Order, let alone a Galaxy Star Master who had already stepped into the Twelfth Order?

By then, if he didn't hide from the Galaxy Star Master, he would likely become the first Twelve-Order Ultimate in this Universe to perish.

In a trance.

Lin Yuan looked around.

"Is this above the River of Time?"

Lin Yuan surveyed his surroundings. Below was a mighty, surging river, with towering figures standing steadfastly along its banks.

"That is me over there?"

Lin Yuan looked downward. Directly beneath his current position, under the River of Time, a colossal entity was curled up below—it was precisely the projection of himself located within the River of Time.

During the Ultimate Leap, his core life essence imprint and mental will would leap out of the River of Time, facing the backlash of the River of Time and the Universe.

"Those Twelfth Order beings cannot perceive me."

Lin Yuan's expression was thoughtful.

At this moment, although he was situated above the River of Time, he was on a completely different plane. This was also the reason why Tier 11 life could not be stopped during the Ultimate Leap.

"The backlash… has arrived."

With a thought in Lin Yuan's mind, streams of backlash instantly surged over.

These backlashes came from the River of Time and were not even limited to this tributary; boundless backlash pressed down entirely upon Lin Yuan.

"Hmm?"

Lin Yuan was startled in his heart.

It was not because he could not withstand the backlash.

Rather, the backlash was far too weak. Let alone affecting Lin Yuan, it couldn't even shake him slightly.

The backlash originating from the River of Time was mighty and vast, resembling a great river rushing toward the ocean, while Lin Yuan was like an unshakeable Divine Stone.

No matter how the backlash battered him, Lin Yuan met it with complete calmness.

"That's right. My foundation is stronger than those Eleven-Tier Perfection beings by more than tens of millions of times! Even they have a possibility of succeeding in the Ultimate Leap; if I were affected when facing this backlash, how could those Eleven-Tier Perfection beings possibly succeed? They would have been directly crushed to pieces."

Lin Yuan thought to himself.

He could easily resist and overcome the backlash directly originating from the River of Time and the Universe.

However, besides facing the direct backlash, the Ultimate Leap also involved indirect backlash, similar to the Heart Demon Tribulation encountered when going from the seventh tier to the eighth tier.

One of the requirements for an Eleven-Tier Perfection being to impact the Ultimate was that their mental will index must reach ten million points.

Why was there such a requirement? It was because only a mental will index exceeding ten million points could possibly endure the Heart Demon Tribulation of the Ultimate Leap.

"Swish, swish."

An ethereal and mysterious power descended. This power came from the distant main trunk of the River of Time—that is, the River of Time traversing the Chaos Void.

"Where is this?"

Lin Yuan only felt an unprecedented chill descend. At his level, it stood to reason that he would no longer feel heat or cold, but at this moment, it was deeply shocking, and his very bones were trembling.

"Is this the Heart Demon World of the Ultimate Leap?"

Lin Yuan looked around. Everything within his field of vision was a world of ice and snow.

"There are no rules, I cannot even sense the Chaos Rules, and my innate Divine Ability… are they all gone?" Lin Yuan thought silently to himself.

If not for the continued existence of his memories, he would have even felt that he was just an ordinary person, and everything he experienced in the Main Universe was nothing more than a fleeting dream.

"I just need to endure."

"As long as I endure, it will be fine."

Lin Yuan had collected a lot of intelligence data on the Ultimate Leap and was well aware of how to get through the Heart Demon World once trapped inside.

That was to tough it out.

As for how long to endure?

There was no set rule.

Time within the Heart Demon World was not consistent with the outside world.

A hundred or a thousand cosmic eras might pass in the Heart Demon World, while only a mere instant passed in the outside world.

"Walk along in this direction."

Lin Yuan randomly chose a direction and began to walk.

In the Heart Demon World, he was like a mortal, devoid of any Divine Ability or power.

He did not know how much time had passed.

A faint, indistinct voice crossed spacetime and entered Lin Yuan's ears.

"Martial Ancestor."

"Martial Ancestor?"

"Martial Ancestor!"

"Martial Ancestor!!"

"That's right, I am the Martial Ancestor, the Martial Dao Ancestor of the heavens."

Lin Yuan stopped in his tracks and listened carefully. "These voices should be emitted by those living beings who Cultivate the Martial Dao Evolution Path."

"So this is the true significance of spreading the Martial Dao Evolution Path."

Lin Yuan's expression was thoughtful.

Using all martial arts cultivators as an 'anchor' prevented oneself from becoming lost and falling.

The greater the number of martial arts cultivators, the heavier the 'anchor', and the better one could maintain oneself.

"Keep walking."

Lin Yuan no longer knew how long he had walked, but he knew that he had to keep going until the Heart Demon World collapsed and he reached the end of the Heart Demon World.

Very quickly.

Lin Yuan crossed the world of ice and snow and arrived at a boundless wasteland.

Lin Yuan continued walking, walking incessantly without any pause.

The greatest danger in the Heart Demon World of the Ultimate Leap was losing oneself and falling. After all, one needed to spend a massive amount of time here without any power or Divine Ability, making it very easy for a Tier 11 life to develop doubts about itself and consequently stop its steps.

And once he stopped, it meant the failure of the Ultimate Leap.

"Ice and snow, wasteland, volcanoes… Whatever other tribulations there are, come quickly." The calls of countless martial arts cultivators echoed by Lin Yuan's ears at every moment, coupled with his forty million points of mental will, leaving him with no tendency to fall or become lost.

Facing the layers of hardships within the Heart Demon World, Lin Yuan responded calmly, without stirring up any ripples.

"How long have I spent in this Heart Demon World? It should be far more than a single cosmic era, right?"

Lin Yuan's thought-processing speed was incomparably slow. Here, he was a mortal, and his thought-processing speed was likewise the same, making it impossible to determine the rate of time flow.

Time flowed on.

Ten cosmic eras? A hundred cosmic eras? A thousand cosmic eras?

Lin Yuan had no idea how much time had passed, until he once again arrived within a scorching desert.

He no longer remembered how many deserts he had passed through. All the deserts were the same, with yellow sand filling the sky and stretching out boundlessly.

"Hmm?"

Lin Yuan's expression stirred. At the end of the desert, a faint light door stood erect there.

"Is that the end? The end of the Heart Demon World!"

Lin Yuan was extremely certain in his heart, striding toward the light door.

The flying yellow sand tried to block Lin Yuan, but it had no effect whatsoever.

Until Lin Yuan arrived within ten meters of the light door.

Standing here, he could already faintly sense the fluctuations of the rules.

"It is over."

Lin Yuan's mind and will were unprecedentedly calm. He tilted his head slightly and looked behind him.

The desert filled with flying yellow sand seemed to ripple, river waters surged, and a River of Time flowing from the distant past into the future emerged.

And at this moment.

Behind Lin Yuan, from far to near, figure after figure appeared.

There was a young Buddhist Disciple in cloth shoes and monk robes, entering the secular world yet transcending it.

There was a young Celestial Master wearing Taoist robes, descending the mountain to purge demons for sixty years.

There was an emperor boiling rivers and refining the Five Sacred Mountains, his heavenly might resplendent and majestic.

There was a Demon Lord sending out his Yang Spirit and walking with his Yin Spirit, descending upon the Five Regions once more.

There was a thin man hiding within the clouds and mist, sitting and observing the Central Plains.

There was a towering demonic tree propping up the heavens and standing upon the earth.

There was the Martial Ancestor ascending to the heavens.

Someone stepped into the Ocean of Light, with stars falling like rain into the mortal world.

There was a figure comprehending the Dao in the Void Realm, with thoughts reaching everywhere.

There was a majestic man spiritually wandering across hundreds of millions of worlds, with the Dao and rules all originating from Chaos.

Figure after figure went from far to near, quietly stopping behind Lin Yuan.

"So this is the Twelfth Order?"

A smile appeared on Lin Yuan's face as he turned around and strode into the light door.
