Chapter 612: My Name is ‘Galaxy’
The vast and boundless space-time forcefully supplanted the Xuanhuang Universe, enveloping the nine Chaotic Great Saints within it like insects trapped in amber, placing them under immense pressure every single moment.
The numerous rules and Daos operating within the Xuanhuang Universe all retreated and yielded. That eternal blazing sun positioned at the center of space-time claimed everywhere its sunlight shone as its Domain.
"The rules and Daos of this Acquired Universe exert far more pressure than those in the Chaos Void outside. Now that the rules and Daos inside this Universe are retreating, it would definitely be the same if this happened in the Chaos Void."
Great Saint Kuang Man stabilized his form, unable to believe it. "Is this Void Creation with a Thought, which only a Peerless Great Saint can achieve? Where the surrounding Space-Time Rules wherever one stands are defined by oneself?"
"No, the Dao rules are merely retreating and yielding; it hasn't reached the level of defining his own rules. He's not a Peerless Great Saint."
Great Saint Kuang Man swallowed hard.
The strength Lin Yuan was displaying right now, even if he wasn't a Peerless Great Saint, was far beyond theirs.
At least Great Saint Kuang Man knew he was no match for him; there was no need to even fight.
"How is he so strong?"
Dual Source Great Saint was equally shocked. Earlier, outside the Xuanhuang Universe, he had used a lethal move to stall Lin Yuan for a split second, allowing him to be the first to enter the Xuanhuang Universe.
At that time, Lin Yuan had indeed brought some pressure upon Dual Source Great Saint.
But that was merely the pressure faced when dealing with an opponent on the same tier.
And now? Was this an opponent on the same tier?
"If you all wish to live…"
Lin Yuan stood there, looking down at each of the Chaotic Great Saints, and said in a calm tone, "Then swear an oath to leave this Universe immediately, and do not come near it for ten thousand cosmic eras."
Except for Shadow Demon Great Saint and Nine Phoenix Great Saint, Lin Yuan had no significant grudges with the other Chaotic Great Saints. As long as they did not remain in the Xuanhuang Universe, Lin Yuan didn't mind letting them off once.
Mainly, it was impossible to eradicate them completely. These Chaotic Great Saints all possessed numerous life-saving means; even if they died in this Universe, they would revive in other secret locations.
In fact, they wouldn't even need to revive.
"Leave this Universe immediately?"
The Black Obsidian Domain maintained by Black Obsidian Great Saint could only extend ten thousand miles around his body. With a grim face, he looked at Lin Yuan: "Not just leave this palace, but directly leave this Universe?"
Given the strength Lin Yuan was currently unleashing, Black Obsidian Great Saint no longer intended to fight head-on. If possible, he wanted to give up that dark palace and head to other regions to search for treasures and Opportunities.
Since this Universe could nurture a rare treasure at the level of a Peerless Great Saint, it could nurture a second and a third.
Even if he couldn't obtain treasures at the Peerless Great Saint level, he should at least get treasures at the Chaotic Great Saint level. Otherwise, wouldn't his trip be in vain?
To reach the vicinity of this Universe in the shortest possible time, Black Obsidian Great Saint had paid a heavy price.
"Isn't Your Excellency's appetite a bit too large? You aren't a Peerless Great Saint, yet you want to act like one?" Dual Source Great Saint also stared at Lin Yuan.
The space-time formed with Lin Yuan as the center indeed exerted immense suppression, far surpassing Black Obsidian Great Saint's Black Obsidian Domain.
If Dual Source Great Saint were alone, he certainly wouldn't say this, because he indeed lacked the means to withstand the space-time suppression from all around.
However, besides Dual Source Great Saint, there were eight other Chaotic Great Saints present, two of whom were powerful Great Saints.
If the nine Chaotic Great Saints joined forces, even if they couldn't defeat Lin Yuan, they could at least contend with him.
At worst, even if they lost in the end, Dual Source Great Saint believed he had the confidence to escape.
No matter how strong Lin Yuan was, he was ultimately not a Peerless Great Saint.
"Indeed."
Great Saint Kuang Man glanced at Dual Source Great Saint and Black Obsidian Great Saint, then also stared at Lin Yuan. "This dark palace can be yielded to you, but demanding us to leave immediately is a bit excessive."
Great Saint Kuang Man had been severely fleeced by the Eye of Myriad Laws and was still feeling the sting, making him equally unwilling to give up.
Ordinary Great Saints like Celestial Fortune Great Saint and Nine Phoenix Great Saint hesitated slightly. Unlike Dual Source Great Saint and Great Saint Kuang Man, under the suppression of the surrounding space-time, they truly felt a risk of perishing.
The three powerful Great Saints dared to say this because they had confidence in their life-preserving capabilities, but what about the six of them?
Although having their Physical Bodies fall right now would not mean complete death, using life-saving means to Cultivate back to Peak strength would require paying a considerable price.
"Only if the nine of us join forces can we protect ourselves," Dual Source Great Saint immediately sent a voice transmission to the six Chaotic Great Saints.
Although the strength of these six Chaotic Great Saints was inferior to theirs, if a fight truly broke out, the six of them could more or less draw away a portion of Lin Yuan's energy.
This way, the pressure on the three powerful Great Saints would also be lighter.
"If we yield, it is equivalent to giving up this Universe. I can share a piece of intelligence with you all: the creator of this Universe was a Peerless Great Saint approaching an Invincible Great Saint, possessing strength so formidable it is unthinkable."
"The Universe he left behind contains numerous rare treasures, and what we see now is merely the beginning. Are you truly willing to give up just like this?"
To get the six Chaotic Great Saints onto his side, Dual Source Great Saint did not hesitate to reveal the intelligence he knew.
"A Peerless Great Saint approaching an Invincible Great Saint?"
Celestial Fortune Great Saint's pupils shrank slightly. He well understood the significance of an Invincible Great Saint. In the boundless Chaos Void, an era permitted only one Invincible Great Saint, and in fact, most eras had no Invincible Great Saint at all.
What kind of existences were Peerless Great Saints? To make them genuinely acknowledge someone, that person must possess absolute overwhelming strength, instilling a feeling of hopeless matchlessness in other Peerless Great Saints before a universally recognized Invincible Great Saint could emerge.
Invincible Great Saints were far too rare, and Peerless Great Saints approaching an Invincible Great Saint were likewise not many; at the very least, their strength needed to stand above other Peerless Great Saints of the same tier.
Originally, Celestial Fortune Great Saint and the other Chaotic Great Saints thought the creator of this Acquired Universe was just a normal Peerless Great Saint, but a Peerless Great Saint approaching an Invincible Great Saint?
The thoughts of Nine Phoenix Great Saint, Shadow Demon Great Saint, and the other Chaotic Great Saints underwent a change as well.
An Acquired Universe left behind by a Peerless Great Saint approaching an Invincible Great Saint might only appear once in countless tens of thousands of cosmic eras.
For newly ascended Great Saints like them, encountering an Acquired Universe of this level was absolutely an Opportunity that could be sought but not guaranteed. If they gave up this time, they might never get another chance in the future.
Thinking of this, Celestial Fortune Great Saint and the other Chaotic Great Saints came to a decision in their hearts.
First, the value of this Universe was even higher than they had anticipated.
Second, since Dual Source Great Saint dared to pull them into confronting Lin Yuan, he must have a degree of confidence.
If he had no backing or reliance, Dual Source Great Saint wouldn't be doing this.
In just a split second, the gazes of the six Chaotic Great Saints turned firm.
They also refused to believe that with the combined strength of nine Chaotic Great Saints, they still couldn't contend with Lin Yuan!
"What happened?"
One Chaos Venerable after another, attracted by the space-time fluctuations, rushed over. Before even getting close, they saw the distant space-time seemingly severed, with Dual Source Great Saint, Black Obsidian Great Saint, and the other Chaotic Great Saints all trapped inside.
"Are the nine Great Saints fighting each other?"
"Tsk tsk, this kind of space-time restriction technique was never displayed outside before."
"Makes sense. That space-time fluctuation definitely meant a supreme treasure emerged; these Great Saints are bound to fight over it."
Numerous Chaos Venerables watched from afar. With nine Great Saints present, they harbored no thoughts toward the emerging supreme treasure, but they were curious about which Great Saint would ultimately claim it.
"It seems none of you are willing to step back."
Lin Yuan looked at the nine Chaotic Great Saints and said with a slight smile, "Since that's the case, stay then."
*Whoosh!*
The space-time in all directions began to contract rapidly. The external Universe formed by the Divine Ability 'World' could theoretically expand to a trillion light-years.
However, that was the ultimate range of the external Universe. The more it contracted, the more concentrated its power became, and the greater the pressure it exerted on enemies.
"With such strength, Your Excellency, might I know your name?" Dual Source Great Saint transformed back into a blue-gray light, as the surrounding space-time continuously shattered and reformed.
At these words, the other eight Great Saints immediately looked toward Lin Yuan.
Although Lin Yuan was extremely domineering, they had to admit his strength was indeed formidable; otherwise, it wouldn't have forced Dual Source Great Saint, Black Obsidian Great Saint, and the others to join forces to resist.
"My name?" Lin Yuan smiled faintly. "My name is 'Galaxy'."
*Boom!*
The majestic space-time swept over like crashing waves. The nine Chaotic Great Saints were like solitary boats on the sea, under constant risk of capsizing beneath the relentless waves.
When he first left his Universe, to Cultivate safely, Lin Yuan had to keep a low profile; otherwise, Venerable Gu Ming alone would have been enough to threaten him at the time, as well as the Human Civilization.
But now?
Lin Yuan's combat power had nearly reached invincibility among Chaotic Great Saints, enough to roam the Chaos Void freely. At this point, there was naturally no need to keep a low profile, nor any reason to do so.
"Galaxy?"
"Galactic Great Saint?"
Dual Source Great Saint pondered with a frown; he had never heard of this title before.
There were two possibilities for this.
First, Lin Yuan had simply made up a title.
Second, the era Lin Yuan originated from was far more ancient than he imagined, such that not only were his methods not passed down, but even his name had been eroded by the endless passage of time.
Dual Source Great Saint leaned toward the latter.
With Lin Yuan's strength, there was no need to fabricate lies; an expert of his level would disdain lying.
*Whish!*
While Dual Source Great Saint was deep in thought, the ubiquitous and majestic space-time surged violently onto him.
"Dual Source Fusion, Tear!"
Dual Source Great Saint faced him as if confronting a ultimate nemesis, directly employing his strongest technique—the ultimate blow resulting from the Fusion of the paths he walked.
This technique consumed quite a bit of Dual Source Great Saint's Origin. Unless absolutely necessary, he wouldn't use it. But to contend with Lin Yuan and remain in this Universe, Dual Source Great Saint held back nothing.
*Riiiip.*
Terrifying space-time rifts were continuously torn open. Dual Source Great Saint ripped through layer upon layer of space-time, seeking to draw closer to Lin Yuan.
Only by approaching Lin Yuan could he threaten him.
However, after just a moment, Dual Source Great Saint discovered to his horror that for every layer of space-time he tore apart, ten or a hundred new layers of space-time instantly rushed in to fill the void.
This gave Dual Source Great Saint a sense of powerlessness, as if an ant looking up at the sky. Though the physical distance to Lin Yuan was short, the intervening space-time was an unknown number of hundreds of millions of light-years.
"My fused force path can't even tear open the space-time near him?" Dual Source Great Saint was utterly shocked.
To contend with Lin Yuan, he had to be able to threaten him. Otherwise, how could he talk about contending? How could he talk about making Lin Yuan step back and allow them to stay in the Universe?
And now? Forget about threatening Lin Yuan; Dual Source Great Saint couldn't even get close to him. How could they fight this?
"When I fully fuse my two force paths, the power unleashed is enough to easily tear through the internal Universe of a Peak Chaotic Great Saint. Yet it can do nothing against this space-time. Just how deep is the foundation of the space-time condensed by this technique?"
Dual Source Great Saint tried several more times, and upon realizing it was still the same, his heart instantly sank halfway.
"Black Obsidian Void!"
Black Obsidian Great Saint's aura surged violently. The Black Obsidian Domain emitting endless darkness around him instantly grew even deeper and began attempting to forcefully expand under the space-time suppression.
'Black Obsidian Void' was a technique where Black Obsidian Great Saint burned his own Origin to sublimate the Black Obsidian Domain to its absolute extreme, an ability he likewise would never use unless forced to the brink.
After all, while burning one's Origin could bring an immense boost in strength, recovering it was equally difficult.
"Grow, grow, grow!"
Black Obsidian Great Saint fully operated his Black Obsidian Domain. After burning his Origin, the power of the Black Obsidian Domain rose drastically, which Black Obsidian Great Saint preferred to call 'Black Obsidian Void'.
However, as the majestic space-time rolled in from all directions, the Black Obsidian Void that Black Obsidian Great Saint exerted all his strength to deploy expanded by merely a ten-thousandth before being compressed back to its original size. Furthermore, as the space-time pressure grew ever stronger, it couldn't even maintain its original size and was shrinking rapidly.
"My Black Obsidian Void…"
Black Obsidian Great Saint was incredulous. This was a technique he reserved to deal with Dual Source Great Saint, yet under the space-time compression formed by Lin Yuan, forget contending—it couldn't even hold its ground.
"Dammit…"
Great Saint Kuang Man also wanted to strike at Lin Yuan, but in an instant, he was bound by the ubiquitous space-time, feeling as though he had immense strength with nowhere to apply it.
"Galactic Great Saint, if you have the ability, fight me in close combat!"
Great Saint Kuang Man roared at Lin Yuan. Close combat was what he excelled at most, and the force path of Chaos Evolution he walked was also oriented toward this aspect.
Originally, Great Saint Kuang Man had specifically Cultivated secret arts to deal with Great Saints skilled in Domains, but under the space-time suppression condensed by Lin Yuan, those secret arts produced no effect whatsoever.
"Close combat?"
Lin Yuan glanced at him. "You can't even get near me, yet you want to fight me in close combat?"
The Martial Dao Evolution path was likewise adept at close-quarters melee combat, but since he could suppress and handle enemies relying solely on his external Universe, Lin Yuan naturally couldn't be bothered to engage in close combat.
"Condense."
Lin Yuan looked toward Great Saint Kuang Man, and immediately the majestic space-time surged forward, suppressing Great Saint Kuang Man completely into immobility.
"This—"
Further away, Celestial Fortune Great Saint had originally intended to take the Opportunity to strike as well—not aiming to threaten Lin Yuan, but at least to draw away some of his focus.
However, when he saw that in just a moment, the three Great Saints—Dual Source Great Saint, Black Obsidian Great Saint, and Great Saint Kuang Man—were struggling to even move and swaying on the verge of collapse under the surrounding space-time pressure…
Celestial Fortune Great Saint's mind trembled uncontrollably.
*Swoosh!*
Instead of advancing, Celestial Fortune Great Saint retreated, fleeing frantically in the direction away from Lin Yuan.
As for the joint effort to confront Lin Yuan that Dual Source Great Saint had agreed upon with him earlier?
Confront?
Confront my ass!
