Chapter 620 Profound Emperor

Outside the Xuanhuang Universe.

The minds of the numerous Chaotic Venerables were in turmoil, and it took them a good while to recover.

"Just now, did a Peerless Great Saint go in?"

"Forming the Void with a single thought and operating in place of the rules of the Chaos Void—that must be a Peerless Great Saint. Only a Peerless Great Saint can form new Void rule Daos within a single thought."

"A Peerless Great Saint…"

The Chaotic Venerables conversed and discussed quickly. The foundation of a Peerless Great Saint's Chaos-evolution power path was thick and heavy enough to bear the numerous rule Daos of the Chaos Void, which was why they could form new rule Daos.

Being able to become a Peerless Great Saint made strength secondary.

It further meant that the path one walked upon was broad enough.

Although it was said that the Myriad Daos led to the same destination through different paths, and there was no distinction of high or low among Daos…

Yet a muddy path compared to a heavenly Dao…

Even if both could reach the end, the processes were worlds apart.

Simply put, for a Chaotic Great Saint wanting to become a Peerless Great Saint, it had nothing to do with Aptitude and talent.

What mattered was whether the power path walked was thick, heavy, and broad.

Why did the Eye of Myriad Laws immediately believe that Lin Yuan could become a Peerless Great Saint when it perceived that the evolutionary path Lin Yuan had it spread originated from a branch of his own evolutionary path?

It was because the Martial Dao Evolution path could branch out into so many branches during the Dao Realm stage, and these branches still had the potential to reach the Chaos Realm.

One could imagine just how broad and heavy the Martial Dao Evolution path itself must be.

With such an evolutionary path, as long as it grew smoothly, becoming a Peerless Great Saint could be said to be inevitable.

"Were there two Peerless Great Saints who came just now?"

"Two Peerless Great Saints?"

The Chaotic Venerables communicated rapidly. A Venerable had caught a fleeting glimpse earlier, seeing two blurred figures arriving instantaneously from distant time and space.

Sky Vault Great Sage and Jade Kirin Great Sage had never thought of entering the Xuanhuang Universe quietly.

As Peerless Great Saints, they should roam across the Chaos Void freely; how could they act sneakily?

Therefore, they hadn't concealed themselves at all. Even so, under the coercion of the Peerless Great Saints, most Chaotic Venerables couldn't even raise their heads; only a few Venerables caught sight of their blurred figures.

"Both Peerless Great Saints entered this Acquired Universe?"

"It seems this Acquired Universe truly has a great background."

"Whether it has a great background or not, I do not care. It has nothing to do with me anyway."

"Indeed, but that Galactic Great Saint is going to have a miserable time."

The numerous Chaotic Venerables suddenly thought of the situation inside the Xuanhuang Universe.

Ever since he suppressed the eight Chaotic Great Saints including Black Obsidian Great Saint and Great Saint Kuang Man, this Acquired Universe had been completely monopolized by Galactic Great Saint.

Given the combat power displayed by Galactic Great Saint, other Chaotic Great Saints didn't dare to enter at all. As for the Chaos Venerables originally inside?

Galactic Great Saint hadn't driven them out, but these Chaos Venerables knew their limits and only dared to wander around the outer regions of the Xuanhuang Universe.

Simply put, this Acquired Universe had become the back garden of Galactic Great Saint.

But now, the arrival of the two Peerless Great Saints completely shattered this situation.

Galactic Great Saint was very strong, and the Domain world he condensed could force many rule Daos to yield and retreat. However, as evaluated by several Chaotic Great Saints, Galactic Great Saint ultimately had not reached the level of a Peerless Great Saint.

Under such circumstances, with the two Peerless Great Saints going in, the fate of Galactic Great Saint inside the Universe could be foreseen.

If he was lucky, those two Peerless Great Saints were in a good mood, and he might come out alive, but the harvest from this trip inside the Universe would definitely have to be handed over.

Bad luck? It would be like how Galactic Great Saint treated Black Obsidian Great Saint and Great Saint Kuang Man—suppressed by the two Peerless Great Saints and exchanged with a 'ransom'.

If his luck was even worse and he incurred the disgust of the two Peerless Great Saints, it was estimated there might even be the consequence of direct death.

The height at which Peerless Great Saints stood was too high; they didn't care too much about 'ransom'.

In a distant Void Domain.

Great Saint Kuang Man had seen many friends, but not a single one was willing to step forward to help him negotiate with Galactic Great Saint.

Just at this moment.

Great Saint Kuang Man received a piece of news.

"Two Peerless Great Saints also entered that Acquired Universe?"

Hearing this, Great Saint Kuang Man's expression did not show joy, but shock instead.

One of his main battle physical bodies was in the hands of Galactic Great Saint in the Xuanhuang Universe, so he naturally paid close attention to the intelligence of that region and learned of the arrival of the two Peerless Great Saints at the first instance.

"Things have become troublesome."

Great Saint Kuang Man furrowed his brows tightly. Although exchanging back his main battle Physical Body from Lin Yuan's hands would require a huge price, at least those costs were already determined.

For instance, he, Great Saint Kuang Man, only needed to gather one billion chaos stones to redeem his main battle Physical Body.

This was a promise made by Galactic Great Saint.

Such powerful Experts generally would not break their word.

But now that two more Peerless Great Saints had appeared? It was beyond Great Saint Kuang Man's control.

The two Peerless Great Saints had entered the Acquired Universe, so Galactic Great Saint should be suppressed. In other words, the main battle physical bodies of these Chaotic Great Saints were equivalent to falling into the hands of the two Peerless Great Saints.

Galactic Great Saint was willing to exchange their main battle physical bodies for one billion chaos stones, which did not mean the two Peerless Great Saints would do the same.

"Galactic Great Saint, you must escape!"

Great Saint Kuang Man looked far away at the Xuanhuang Universe and thought to himself.

For some reason, at this moment he actually hoped that Galactic Great Saint, who had suppressed his main battle Physical Body, could escape from the hands of those two Peerless Great Saints.

Not only Great Saint Kuang Man, but Black Obsidian Great Saint and Celestial Fortune Great Saint were also somewhat uneasy; the entry of Peerless Great Saints made the situation complicated.

Originally, they only needed to hand over the corresponding amount of chaos stones to steadily redeem their main battle physical bodies.

But now? Heaven knew what other price would need to be paid.

"Two Peerless Great Saints?"

Dual Source Great Saint, who had already arrived at another Void Domain, froze slightly before feeling a sense of relief.

"Galactic Great Saint, it seems I still have to thank you."

Dual Source Great Saint thought to himself.

If not for Galactic Great Saint, he would still be exploring inside the Xuanhuang Universe at this moment.

At this time, with two Peerless Great Saints coming in, what could be his ending as Dual Source?

Fighting for his life, Dual Source Great Saint had barely managed to escape from Lin Yuan's hands.

But facing Peerless Great Saints? No matter how he fought for his life, he couldn't escape.

By then, his fate would definitely be much more miserable than now.

"That Galactic Great Saint actually managed to hold on in Grand Sage Hunxiao's hands for so long? Extraordinary."

"It is estimated that Grand Sage Hunxiao was unwilling to pay a price and wanted to suppress Galactic Great Saint without loss."

"Even so, it is already very rare. Galactic Great Saint doesn't even have Chaos-evolution power."

Several special entities like the broken long saber, the ancient altar spirit, and the Eye of Myriad Laws were also observing the situation inside the Xuanhuang Universe.

The 'Forming the Void with a single thought' at the level of a Peerless Great Saint could form a completely independent Void world, which special entities like them could not forcibly infiltrate and observe.

But relying on the faintly transmitted time-space fluctuations, they could deduce many things.

These special entities had experienced cosmic eras one after another and had very high discernment; they could draw many conclusions through subtle details.

At this very moment.

The entire Xuanhuang Universe completely solidified.

This solidification was not only the solidification of space, but also the solidification of time.

If the Xuanhuang Universe before was a pool of constantly flowing living water…

Then the Xuanhuang Universe at this moment had changed from living water to a solid.

Numerous power fluctuations, auras, and rules all vanished without a trace, unable to be transmitted even a fraction.

"This is?"

The expressions of special entities like the broken long saber and the ancient altar spirit suddenly changed, and the same thought involuntarily surged in their hearts.

"Profound Emperor?"

A robust and majestic man stood out of thin air without a trace of aura emanating from him.

But ever since he appeared, the entire Xuanhuang Universe began to undergo inexplicable changes, and the rule Daos began to boil. The rule Daos originally suppressed by Sky Vault Great Sage and Jade Kirin Great Sage began to rapidly counter-suppress.

Compared to the changes in the Xuanhuang Universe…

Sky Vault Great Sage and Jade Kirin Great Sage didn't care at all. The gazes of the two Peerless Great Saints stared fixedly at the robust and majestic man, as if they were seeing some incredible scene, as if someone who absolutely should not appear had suddenly appeared.

"Profound Emperor?"

"Did you not break through to the Thirteenth Order?"

Sky Vault Great Sage faced a formidable enemy, his tone trembling.

He was very certain that the robust and majestic man before him was definitely not some imprinted consciousness or the like, but Profound Emperor himself—an Invincible Great Saint who possessed the strength to sweep across other Peerless Great Saints over thirty million cosmic eras ago.

Years ago, before Profound Emperor broke through to the Thirteenth Order, in order to erase hidden dangers, he deliberately hunted down a batch of Peerless Great Saints, and he and Jade Kirin were among them.

In the end, with no other choice, Grand Sage Hunxiao and Jade Kirin chose Reincarnation, thus escaping Profound Emperor's hunt.

One could reincarnate at the Chaos Realm, and a Great Saint at the Perfection of the Chaos Realm could retain a portion of memories after Reincarnation, while a Peerless Great Saint would retain even more memories.

However.

Even if all memories were retained, so what? After Reincarnation, it was definitely the weakest period for every Great Saint. Reincarnating into the lives of those powerful clans was fine, but if one reincarnated into a weak clan, it would be very dangerous.

Moreover, Reincarnation in the Chaos Realm—whether ordinary Venerables or Peerless Great Saints—was completely random, and one could not choose the target of Reincarnation.

In the vast Chaos Void, among the various natural Universes and Secret Realms, weak and feeble clan lives occupied ninety-nine percent, while those powerful clans were only a tiny minority.

In other words, unless one's luck was truly Heaven-Defying, even as a Peerless Great Saint, the target of Reincarnation would likely have a very low starting point.

With a low starting point, even possessing partial memories, if one happened to be in some desperate or perilous situation, it would still be very difficult to survive.

Once the reincarnated body died, a second Reincarnation would take place, and the memories retained in the second Reincarnation would become negligible, making the hope of finally returning to a Great Saint even dimmer.

Reaching the level of Chaotic Great Saints, especially Peerless Great Saints, their paths were very broad and heavy, and they had the hope of becoming a Time Lifeform. Unless it was an absolute last resort, they would never choose Reincarnation.

"Have you stepped into the Thirteenth Order?"

The Jade Kirin Great Sage beside him was shocked in his heart. The first thought when Profound Emperor broke free from the time loop was that he had stepped into the Thirteenth Order.

"Not right."

"You have not stepped into the Thirteenth Order. The birth of every Time Lifeform will cause vibrations at the time-space level of the Chaos Void, and we would definitely know."

Jade Kirin Great Sage was extremely terrified in his heart, but still barely maintained basic sanity.

When lives in the Chaos Void stepped from the Eleven-Tier to the Twelfth Order, they would endure the infusion of the Chaotic Void Origin.

And when stepping from the Twelfth Order to the Thirteenth Order, it was the same, and the vibration triggered far exceeded the former.

"That's right, you haven't stepped into the Thirteenth Order."

Sky Vault Great Sage also reacted. Looking at the robust and majestic man not far away, for over thirty million cosmic eras, this man had become their Heart Demon.

The two Peerless Great Saints did not dare to break through to the Thirteenth Order, and wanted to completely erase the traces of the Xuanhuang Lineage, also to dissipate the influence of the Heart Demon on themselves as much as possible.

"So many cosmic eras have passed, and you two trash are still the same."

A smile appeared on the face of the robust and majestic man, and he said to himself.

"Profound Emperor?"

Lin Yuan also looked at the robust and majestic man beside him, ripples constantly stirring in his heart.

Profound Emperor?

He was Profound Emperor?

The founder of the Xuanhuang Lineage?

A Peerless Great Saint who, although not an Invincible Great Saint, was not weak in the slightest compared to an Invincible Great Saint?

Lin Yuan's thoughts were in turmoil. Ever since stepping into the Ninth Tier and taking charge of the Profound Yellow Secret Realm, he had heard of Your Majesty Xuan Huang. Within his Home Universe, the Legacy of the Xuanhuang Lineage had also played a huge role for him.

And now, he actually got to see the real Your Majesty Xuan Huang?

"Crushing that bead will summon Your Majesty Xuan Huang?"

Lin Yuan's thoughts fluctuated, but an even greater doubt arose in his heart—

Since that was the case, why did the Mausoleum spirit tell him to try his best not to crush it?

The expressions of Sky Vault Great Sage and Jade Kirin Great Sage were unsightly. Although they were still terrified in their hearts, upon hearing Profound Emperor call them 'trash', their eyes actually became dazed, as if they had returned to over thirty million cosmic eras ago.

At that time, they were also Peerless Great Saints, who should have roamed across the Chaos Void freely and ultimately condensed everything to break through to the Thirteenth Order.

But in that era, the Prodigy Profound Emperor was born. Speaking of birth, Profound Emperor was merely an ant-like life nurtured by a natural Universe.

Speaking of Legacy, Profound Emperor had no elders to rely on whatsoever.

But such an ant rapidly grew to the Chaos Realm, the Perfection of the Chaos Realm, and a Peerless Great Saint!

Sky Vault Great Sage, Jade Kirin Great Sage, and many other Peerless Great Saints of that era basically lived under the shadow of Profound Emperor.

"Profound Emperor, over thirty million cosmic eras have passed. Jade Kirin and I have experienced one Reincarnation, returning to our Peak, and our strength is much stronger than before."

Sky Vault Great Sage's voice grew louder and louder, shaking time and space.

Jade Kirin Great Sage was the same, his gaze rapidly calming down.

"Is that so?"

The robust and majestic man smiled slightly, and then raised his right hand which had been clasped behind his back.

"Run!"

Like birds startled by a mere twang of a bow, Sky Vault Great Sage and Jade Kirin Great Sage fled toward the entrance without any hesitation. At this moment, the Xuanhuang Universe was fused as one; they could not tear open the surrounding space-time at all, and only by fleeing to the entrance would there be hope of getting out.

Inner Universe.

Inside the Mausoleum, the Mausoleum spirit sat there with a gloomy expression, softly murmuring: "Your Majesty."

"Even if thirty million cosmic eras couldn't break through the time loop and the hope of stepping into the Thirteenth Order would be extremely slim, no matter how slim, it is still hope. In the distant future, there might be variables."

"Even if there are no variables, falling into the time loop means still being alive. As long as one is alive, there is hope. There is hope!"

The Mausoleum spirit lowered its eyes, and crystalline tears faintly slid down.

"But why abandon this hope? Why abandon it?"

The Mausoleum spirit's body was trembling all over.
