Chapter 588 Visitors from the Capital

Lin Yuan stood in the Void Realm, quietly watching the Physical Body and Primordial Spirit of Spirit God King collapse and disintegrate.

Then, he casually collected the numerous weapons and treasures left behind by this royal family member of the Great Spirit Ancient Kingdom.

"The royal family of the Great Spirit Ancient Kingdom possesses bizarre and troublesome methods, especially that ability to transform into a 'Spirit' just now. Even a Heavenly Venerable would probably find it a headache for a while."

Lin Yuan sighed inwardly.

Transforming into a 'Spirit' means merging into the 'Spirit' and becoming a 'Spirit'.

And since 'Spirit' exists among all things, as long as Spirit God King's move is not faced by a Heavenly Venerable…

He is basically invincible.

"Unfortunately, it happens to be countered by me."

Lin Yuan thought to himself. Spirit God King transformed into a 'Spirit' and merged into all things.

However, Lin Yuan's Physical Body Divine Ability "World" forms an external Universe centered around himself.

Within the shroud of the external Universe, he can control everything.

In fact, relying solely on the control power of the external Universe, even if he could suppress Spirit God King who had become a 'Spirit' and merged into the 'Spirit', it would still be very difficult to force him out.

The duration of the external Universe is limited.

However, after Lin Yuan's internal Universe fused with and devoured the Blazing Sun Source, wherever the external Universe shrouded was equivalent to the Blazing Sun Creation of the Heavens.

Within this range, Lin Yuan's control over the surrounding space-time and all things reached near perfection, which is why he could easily force Spirit God King out of the state of merging into the 'Spirit'.

Using the internal Universe as a Foundation, the combination of the Divine Ability "World" and the Divine Ability "Blazing Sun Creation of the Heavens" made Lin Yuan's methods far too terrifying.

This was merely a blessing to the Divine Ability "World".

The internal Universe fused with and devoured the "Blazing Sun Source", and the enhancement of his own heritage and Foundation was likewise immeasurable.

Furthermore, with the internal Universe concealing it, unless Lin Yuan went all out and operated the Divine Ability "World", he would basically not expose means like "Blazing Sun Creation of the Heavens" which had a great connection to the Fiery Sun First Ancestor.

"Hmm?"

After putting away the numerous weapons, arms, and treasures left behind by Spirit God King, Lin Yuan glanced over them casually.

Among the numerous weapons and arms, that silver long blade was the most eye-catching, and it was also Spirit God King's main battle weapon.

"Heavenly Venerable level weapon?"

At a glance, Lin Yuan saw through the tier of this weapon. The Heavenly Venerables of this Origin World corresponded to the "Great Saints" of the Chaos Void.

"Not bad."

Lin Yuan was slightly satisfied. Although he did not use blades, a Heavenly Venerable level weapon could easily be traded away for other resources of the same tier.

This silver long blade could be regarded by Spirit God King as his main battle weapon, so even among Heavenly Venerable level weapons, it was considered top-notch.

Aside from the silver long blade, there was also a Heavenly Venerable level armor, as well as several other weapons and arms. As for rare treasures, what Spirit God King carried on him was exceptionally abundant.

"The core royal family of this Origin World is truly wealthy."

Lin Yuan felt pleased in his mind. He could also guess that these weapons, treasures, and rare items were probably the majority of Spirit God King's net worth.

Normally speaking, participating in the war between the two Ancient Kingdoms—even if it was just a local war—the Great Venerables participating below would not carry precious weapons and treasures on their bodies.

After all, the variables in war were too great. In case they fell, everything would fall into the enemy's hands.

However, Spirit God King? As a Limit Core Royal Family member who had grown to the limit, Spirit God King had never expected that he would die.

Among the many possibilities deduced by Spirit God King, the worst result was that Azure Ember Domain also had a Limit Core Royal Family stationed here, fighting desperately with Spirit God King until both sides reached a stalemate.

No matter which possible outcome it was, Spirit God King had never anticipated that anything would happen to him.

This was also very normal. A Limit Core Royal Family member grown to the limit was invincible among Great Venerables, unless they encountered a Heavenly Venerable!

Otherwise, it would be very, very difficult for them to die and fall. And a Heavenly Venerable?

On the battlefield, once a Heavenly Venerable level expert appeared, it meant that the intensity of the war had escalated completely.

And a lofty Heavenly Venerable would not go so far as to deal a fatal blow to a Limit Core Royal Family member like him.

After roughly glancing at the spoils of war.

Lin Yuan overlooked the battlefield below.

At this moment on the battlefield, the twenty or thirty Great Venerables of the Great Spirit Ancient Kingdom, whether newly advanced Great Venerables or Peak Great Venerables, all began to flee frantically.

It was obvious that they also knew the outcome of the battle between Lin Yuan and Spirit God King.

"Want to flee?"

Lin Yuan's thoughts moved slightly.

To deal with these ordinary Great Venerables, Lin Yuan naturally did not need to activate the Divine Ability "World" again.

Swish.

The Blazing Sun World Power swept past, and the twenty or thirty Great Venerables, like fish in water, were all scooped up and then suppressed.

"Galaxy!"

The twenty or thirty Great Venerables felt anxious and uneasy in their hearts.

"Rest assured, I won't kill you."

Lin Yuan said directly.

The most cost-effective way to handle these prisoners of war was not to kill them, but to have the Great Spirit Ancient Kingdom "ransom" them after the war ended.

Lin Yuan had no hatred towards these Great Venerable prisoners of war. Both sides simply had different stances, so naturally, there would be no actions like venting anger.

And even if they were killed, the opponents would not completely die; they could still be resurrected with the help of life-saving methods, merely losing a main battle Physical Body.

The significance wasn't very big.

Using these captives to exchange for a "ransom" from the Great Spirit Ancient Kingdom was what best aligned with Lin Yuan's interests.

The Great Venerables fought for the Great Spirit Ancient Kingdom. Now that they were captured, could the Great Spirit Ancient Kingdom possibly just watch and do nothing?

"King Lingwei?"

Lin Yuan's expression moved slightly as he looked towards an extremely distant place.

An aura was rapidly moving away from there.

Whoosh.

Lin Yuan's figure disappeared.

When he reappeared a moment later, he was already close to King Lingwei.

Compared to these Ancient Kingdom royal families who comprehended and excavated Bloodline Power, Lin Yuan was equally adept at comprehending rules, especially the Space-Time Fusion Rule, which had reached the eighth-layer realm long ago.

Previously, by continuously comprehending Chaos secret patterns and enhancing his comprehension of Chaos Rules, using the Chaos Rules as an anchor point, he similarly drove the comprehension of thousands of rules such as the Space-Time Fusion Rule.

Therefore, in terms of traveling and hunting down enemies, unless it was a royal family proficient in such methods, they simply couldn't shake off Lin Yuan.

"Galaxy, do you want to capture me?"

Sensing Lin Yuan's aura approaching, King Lingwei simply stopped fleeing and stood quietly in place.

"It's impossible."

King Lingwei shook his head, and immediately his Physical Body and Soul began to disintegrate.

Other Great Venerables could be captured and then ransomed back by the Great Spirit Ancient Kingdom.

But he, King Lingwei, could not do this.

This wasn't a matter of "ransom",

but rather, as a Great Spirit royal family member, becoming a prisoner of war of the Blazing Sun Ancient Kingdom?

That would be throwing away the face of the Great Spirit Ancient Kingdom.

Therefore.

Realizing that he could not escape, King Lingwei decisively chose to disintegrate this Physical Body.

Compared to losing all face after becoming a prisoner of war, King Lingwei would rather abandon this Physical Body.

Seeing this, Lin Yuan felt a slight pity in his heart, though he had also anticipated it.

The reason he didn't hold back against Spirit God King and directly killed him was also because he felt that the other party could not possibly be suppressed by him.

Upon realizing that he was no match for Lin Yuan, Spirit God King would surely choose to end his own life.

This was also the only thing an Ancient Kingdom royal family member could do.

"There are quite a lot of treasures indeed."

Lin Yuan continued to put away the treasures left behind by King Lingwei. Although they couldn't compare to Spirit God King's, they could still be considered wealthy among Great Venerables.

"This time making a move."

A smile appeared on Lin Yuan's face. The wealth carried by royal family members like Spirit God King and King Lingwei, as well as the rare treasures of dozens of Great Venerables…

As for those dozens of Great Venerables, although Lin Yuan had the idea of using them to exchange for a "ransom", he would definitely confiscate the numerous treasures and weapons they carried before using them for the exchange.

After taking a brief inventory, Lin Yuan found that he had already made a fortune.

What's more, aside from these spoils of war obtained from the enemy,

Lin Yuan could also use the merits obtained on the battlefield to exchange for treasures from Crimson Pine King.

And given Lin Yuan's performance just now, almost single-handedly turning the tide of the battle, just how massive would the merits he gained be?

Great Spirit Ancient Kingdom.

Inside a certain prince's mansion in the capital.

Deep within layers of Formation Restrictions, a white spar suddenly emitted a hazy light, followed by the condensation of a figure—it was precisely Spirit God King.

Resurrected with the help of a life-saving method, Spirit God King's aura was extremely weak.

However, compared to the weakness in his Physical Body and Soul, Spirit God King felt extremely terrible on the spiritual level right now.

"I actually died?"

"Fair and square, dying at the hands of a life form below a Heavenly Venerable?"

Spirit God King muttered to himself. He could sense that Lin Yuan was definitely not a Heavenly Venerable, and at most, he was just like him—a core royal family member of the Blazing Sun Ancient Kingdom grown to the limit.

A Limit Core Royal Family member grown to the limit had a combat power that could be called invincible among Great Venerables. Even facing a Limit Core Royal Family member of the same tier, while they might not win, it was very difficult for them to be defeated and killed, let alone being directly slain.

"Is it because… my Bloodline talent was countered by that Galaxy?"

Spirit God King began to review, scenes of battle flashing through his mind.

He had used his strongest killing move, merging into the 'Spirit' of all things, but in the end, that Galaxy didn't know what method he used to reach the ultimate control over the surrounding heaven, earth, and space-time, even being able to reversely control the 'Spirit' of all things.

This was also the key to Spirit God King's fall. After merging into the 'Spirit', Spirit God King was in a near-invincible position, but he also lost many other methods.

Coupled with the shock in his heart when he was forced out of the state of merging into the 'Spirit', he died so easily at the hands of Galaxy.

"If I hadn't used the killing move of transforming into a 'Spirit', I might have been able to hold out a little longer."

Spirit God King thought silently in his heart.

That's right.

It was just holding out a little longer.

Although Spirit God King noticed that he was countered by Galaxy, that final control power which was close to overriding everything—even if he hadn't transformed into a 'Spirit', his fate would have been no different from now.

At most, it would just be holding out a little longer.

And striving for evacuation time for those Great Venerables of the Great Spirit Ancient Kingdom?

"Galaxy… Could it be that the core royal family members of the Blazing Sun Ancient Kingdom have made progress in breaking through the Heavenly Venerable shackles? That's why that Galaxy possesses such combat power?"

Spirit God King steadied his mind and guessed inwardly.

Lin Yuan's strength was obviously somewhat abnormal, surpassing the Limit Core Royal Family by a huge margin, yet he had not stepped into the Heavenly Venerable level.

Therefore, Spirit God King had this suspicion and guess.

"This is also good."

"It shows that after core royal family members like us grow to the limit, there is no longer a dead end ahead; there is still the possibility of continuing to improve."

A fervent look appeared in Spirit God King's eyes. Compared to his own defeat, discovering that the path ahead could still be walked on would be of even greater help to Spirit God King.

Whoosh.

Lin Yuan put away King Lingwei's spoils of war, his figure disappeared, and he returned to the battlefield once again.

"Galaxy Senior." Crimson Jade King stepped forward excitedly at this moment, saying with a grateful expression: "I truly didn't expect Senior to pass by here and lend a hand. If not for Senior this time, dozens of surrounding large domains would probably have fallen."

"It's nothing." Lin Yuan looked at Crimson Jade King and immediately deduced the other party's intention.

Crimson Jade King must have regarded him as a core royal family member of the Blazing Sun Ancient Kingdom who had grown to the limit.

After all, Lin Yuan's strength was right there, coupled with the means he used, which included the Blazing Sun Divine Body.

If Lin Yuan weren't a Limit Core Royal Family member, Crimson Jade King wouldn't believe it himself.

Lin Yuan did not deny this, after all, this could also explain his current strength.

"Galaxy Senior." Crimson Pine King also hurried over at this moment, saying in an ashamed tone: "I didn't know Senior's identity before, which is why I spoke like that. I hope Senior will forgive me, please forgive me!"

When Lin Yuan defeated Lei Ge Great Venerable, Crimson Pine King had personally summoned Lin Yuan, and the two had conversed for a few words.

In fact, Crimson Pine King's attitude at that time was all right, without showing any airs of a king at all. But thinking of Lin Yuan's identity, Crimson Pine King felt somewhat uneasy.

"There is no need to say this."

Lin Yuan didn't care much about it.

"What should we do next?"

"Invade the Purple Dream Domain?"

Lin Yuan glanced at the two royal Great Venerables and said casually.

Now, the Great Venerable level Experts of the Purple Dream Domain and the dozens of surrounding large domains had all been suppressed by Lin Yuan, making those dozens of enemy large domains equivalent to empty shells.

As long as Crimson Pine King was willing to attack, he would definitely not encounter much resistance.

"Invade the Purple Dream Domain?"

Crimson Pine King hesitated slightly, then shook his head and said: "Forget it. Spirit God King has fallen, and the Great Spirit Ancient Kingdom will definitely make a move. Invading the Purple Dream Domain now, even if we can capture it, it will be very difficult to hold onto it. There's no need for that."

Crimson Pine King did not have much ambition; he didn't seek merit, only to avoid making mistakes.

As long as he could protect the Azure Ember Domain, that would be enough.

"That works too."

Lin Yuan nodded.

Crimson Pine King's consideration was not without reason.

In the distance.

The twenty-odd Great Venerables looked at each other in dismay. The scene of Lin Yuan and Spirit God King fighting earlier had truly shocked them.

They had originally thought it would be a hearty and exhilarating slaughter, but as a result, Spirit God King didn't last long at all.

"The strength of Galaxy Senior…"

Fire Axe Great Venerable's expression was shocked, and Red Leaf Great Venerable beside him was no better.

Especially Red Leaf Great Venerable, whose relationship with Lin Yuan previously was quite good. He hadn't even thought of this newly advanced Great Venerable as a core royal family member grown to the limit.

Especially the strength Lin Yuan displayed just now—I'm afraid it wasn't just as simple as a core royal family member grown to the limit.

Azure Ember City.

Teleportation Formation area.

At this moment, the largest teleportation Formation suddenly lit up with light, and after dozens of breaths, several figures appeared.

Among these figures, the leader was a red-bearded old man, followed by three or four young men and women.

"That Spirit God King of the Great Spirit Ancient Kingdom has actually grown to the limit. Remarkable."

A young man spoke up. He glanced around and breathed a slight sigh of relief, "It seems we arrived in time."

Now Azure Ember City had no major problems, and the teleportation Formation was operating smoothly, indicating that Spirit God King had not yet made a move against Azure Ember City.

In this way, their trip wasn't in vain.

These few figures were reinforcements sent by the capital of the Blazing Sun Ancient Kingdom upon learning that Spirit God King's strength exceeded expectations.

The three or four young men were all royal family members at the Great Venerable realm, while the red-bearded old man leading them was a core royal family member grown to the limit.

Throughout the entire Blazing Sun Ancient Kingdom, core royal family members were few, and core royal family members grown to the limit were even fewer.

That the red-bearded old man could arrive so quickly was already considered placing extreme importance on the war between the Azure Ember Domain and the Purple Dream Domain.

"Hmm?"

The red-bearded old man's gaze held a trace of surprise as he looked distantly towards the battlefield.

"What's wrong?" The three or four young men watched the red-bearded old man standing in place without the slightest intention of rushing to the battlefield, and couldn't help feeling anxious in their hearts.

Although they didn't know what Crimson Jade King and Crimson Pine King relied on to hold off a Limit Core Royal Family member like Spirit God King for so long…

…it was obvious that the sooner they rushed over, the better.

"No need to worry."

The red-bearded old man glanced at the young men and said with a hint of confusion: "The war has already ended."
