Chapter 630 Milky Way Heavenly Lord

Northern Yin Celestial Venerable and Ji Han Heavenly Venerable were two ancient Celestial Venerables of the Profound Yin Ancient Kingdom.

Compared to other Celestial Venerables, their mental will was somewhat lacking.

That was why they were so eager for the rare black jade produced by the Black Jade Nest.

Taking advantage of the rotation of the Black Jade Nest's guardian this time, they planned to sneak in at all risks.

In fact, it could not be considered much of a risk. For this operation, Northern Yin Celestial Venerable had made sufficient preparations.

Although the new guardian, Galaxy Great Venerable, was much stronger than other Limit Core Royal Family members, he had ultimately not stepped into the Heavenly Venerable level.

Naturally, he was not as difficult to deal with as the previous guardian, Chiyang Heavenly Venerate.

Moreover, Northern Yin Celestial Venerable had watched the combat footage of this Galaxy Great Venerable many times.

He considered himself very familiar with this newly emerged Blazing Sun Ancient Kingdom royal member.

Even if they encountered extreme circumstances and were discovered right after sneaking in,

they could easily retreat unscathed without exposing any information related to their identities.

Thus, even if the Blazing Sun Ancient Kingdom investigated afterwards, as long as there was no substantive evidence, the matter would ultimately fizzle out.

"Ten breaths."

"At most ten breaths. No matter how much black jade we get, we must withdraw immediately."

Northern Yin Celestial Venerable successfully sneaked into the Black Jade Nest and instructed Ji Han Heavenly Venerable.

Ten breaths was precisely the time it took to teleport from the Blazing Sun Ancient Kingdom capital to the Black Jade Nest.

Simply put, starting from the moment they sneaked in, reinforcements from the Blazing Sun Ancient Kingdom capital would arrive in ten breaths at the earliest.

The two Celestial Venerables were not worried about Galaxy Great Venerable, but the reinforcements from the Blazing Sun Ancient Kingdom capital? They were still rather wary of them.

"Understood."

Ji Han Heavenly Venerable nodded.

Since they dared to sneak into such a first-tier treasure land, they naturally had to base everything on the worst-case scenario.

With the strength of the two Celestial Venerables, they wouldn't likely be discovered the moment they sneaked in.

But as long as this possibility existed, they had to formulate plans based on this premise.

Whoosh.

Only a tenth of a breath later, the two Celestial Venerables completely sneaked into the Black Jade Nest.

And they quickly approached the area where the Black Jade Nest nurtured black jade.

Deep within the Black Jade Nest.

Lin Yuan was refining the black jade. Wisps of black jade power were slowly and resolutely tempering his mental will.

"Hmm?"

Lin Yuan's heart suddenly stirred as he looked in a certain direction.

"Two auras have sneaked in?"

Lin Yuan thought to himself. The two sneaking auras he discovered did not rely on the grand array of the Black Jade Nest.

Rather, it was purely relying on Lin Yuan's own perception and the semi-operational state of his Divine Ability 'World'.

Ever since the Black Jade Nest was about to enter its maturity period, Lin Yuan had grown cautious, constantly keeping his Divine Ability 'World' in a semi-operational state.

Powerful Celestial Venerables like Chiyang Heavenly Venerate did not hesitate to completely offend four or five other Celestial Venerables to obtain the chance to guard the Black Jade Nest.

How much more so for Celestial Venerables of other Ancient Kingdoms?

The stronger one's strength was, the more they valued their own mental will.

This was also the reason why the Black Jade Nest was listed as a first-tier treasure land.

Rare treasures that directly enhanced mental will were extremely rare and scarce even across the Six Ancient Kingdoms, enough to provoke competition among Celestial Venerables.

"They should be two Celestial Venerables, Celestial Venerables of the Profound Yin Ancient Kingdom?"

Lin Yuan gazed down from afar at those two rapidly approaching auras.

Ji Han Heavenly Venerable and Northern Yin Celestial Venerable were fully prepared, believing they could pull the wool over everyone's eyes and evade the detection of the Black Jade Nest's grand array.

In fact, that was indeed the case.

The grand array of the Black Jade Nest did not detect the auras of these two Celestial Venerables.

Of course, this was also because Ji Han Heavenly Venerable and Northern Yin Celestial Venerable had not made a move.

The defensive grand array could not detect them, but under the shroud of Lin Yuan's Divine Ability 'World', everything was completely exposed.

"We've arrived. Ahead is the area where the black jade is nurtured."

Ji Han Heavenly Venerable and Northern Yin Celestial Venerable felt slightly invigorated, especially Northern Yin Celestial Venerable. From the time they sneaked in until now, the grand array of the Black Jade Nest had not shown any abnormal fluctuations.

He estimated that Galaxy Great Venerable hadn't discovered them at all.

"Two breaths have already passed. Three breaths are for evacuation, leaving us with only five breaths to harvest the black jade."

Northern Yin Celestial Venerable glanced at Ji Han Heavenly Venerable.

Ji Han Heavenly Venerable immediately nodded.

Having cultivated to the Heavenly Venerable Realm, they naturally would not lose their minds in front of treasures; everything would be carried out according to the formulated plan.

Swish.

The next moment.

The two Celestial Venerables entered the area where the black jade was nurtured.

Large patches of deep, pitch-black jade came into view, and Ji Han Heavenly Venerable and Northern Yin Celestial Venerable forcefully suppressed their joy.

"Take everything away, even the immature black jade."

Northern Yin Celestial Venerable said quickly.

The rare black jade nurtured by the Black Jade Nest would only be taken out when it was completely mature, and then circulated outward.

But that did not mean immature black jade was completely ineffective; it was just that its tempering of mental will wasn't as great as mature black jade.

Now, as plunderers, Ji Han Heavenly Venerable and Northern Yin Celestial Venerable naturally didn't care whether the black jade was mature or not. As long as it appeared before their eyes and could be taken, they would take all of it.

However,

when the power of the two Celestial Venerables enveloped the black jade, they discovered that layers of spacetime barriers were faintly condensing around all the black jade.

"What is going on?"

Northern Yin Celestial Venerable frowned. He could sense that these layers of spacetime barriers did not come from the power of the Black Jade Nest's defensive grand array.

"Northern Yin, what should we do now? I can't take them away."

Ji Han Heavenly Venerable asked quickly. The spacetime barriers covering the vast patches of black jade gave him a helpless feeling, completely unable to be broken through.

"What should we do?"

Northern Yin Celestial Venerable pondered inwardly. Suddenly, his expression changed as he looked toward the higher direction, seeing a man walk out from the void, quietly overlooking the two Celestial Venerables.

The lofty ancient Celestial Venerables, under the gaze of this young man, were like two ants.

"Galaxy Great Venerable?"

Northern Yin Celestial Venerable immediately recognized the identity of this young man: it was precisely the guardian of this Black Jade Nest, Galaxy Great Venerable.

"We've been discovered?"

Ji Han Heavenly Venerable's expression was solemn. With Galaxy Great Venerable personally arriving, coupled with the fact that the surrounding black jade was entirely protected, it was very easy to deduce this conclusion.

"This Galaxy Great Venerable guarded against us long ago?"

Ji Han Heavenly Venerable thought to himself, while looking at Northern Yin Celestial Venerable, wanting to know what to do next.

"Let's go."

Although Northern Yin Celestial Venerable felt somewhat unwilling, he knew that in the current situation, retreating immediately was the best choice.

If they didn't retreat, they wouldn't be able to take the black jade away in a short time, and staying behind was completely meaningless.

Hum!

Northern Yin Celestial Venerable's mind stirred slightly. Since they had already been discovered, there was no need to completely restrain their auras anymore. As long as they didn't expose their signature killing moves, they wouldn't need to hold back anything.

Whoosh!

Spacetime began to boil. Northern Yin Celestial Venerable intended to forcibly pierce through the spacetime channel between this place and the outside world, thereby withdrawing.

However,

the power of the grand array surged, and Northern Yin Celestial Venerable's method of piercing through spacetime was instantly suppressed.

"Galaxy Great Venerable?"

Northern Yin Celestial Venerable looked at Lin Yuan. "You still want to keep us here?"

Northern Yin Celestial Venerable frowned without paying it much heed, then flew outward without hesitation.

Since he couldn't pierce through the spacetime channel to quickly retreat, he would simply fly out directly.

The defensive grand array of the Black Jade Nest primarily defended against external attacks. As for internal defense?

At least it couldn't stop Experts like Northern Yin Celestial Venerable.

"Suppress."

Seeing this scene, Lin Yuan completely unleashed his Divine Ability 'World'.

Swish, swish, swish.

The mighty external Universe dispersed like an ocean, instantly filling every inch of spacetime inside the Black Jade Nest.

"This is?"

Ji Han Heavenly Venerable's expression changed drastically. He clearly sensed that he was suppressed in all aspects, making even flying extremely difficult.

Under this kind of suppression, let alone withdrawing from the Black Jade Nest in three breaths, even thirty or three hundred breaths would make it impossible to achieve.

"Not good."

Northern Yin Celestial Venerable's expression was ugly. Through the omnipresent Domain suppression, he realized that Galaxy Great Venerable's strength was far beyond estimation, and he had even stepped into the Heavenly Venerable level.

"Don't hold back anymore."

Northern Yin Celestial Venerable began to use all his life-saving methods without hesitation.

An invisible, terrifying supreme yin aura permeated the surroundings, trying to resist the suppression of the external Universe. At this moment, Northern Yin Celestial Venerable did not hold back at all, even if it meant exposing his true identity for this.

As a Celestial Venerable of the Profound Yin Ancient Kingdom, making a move against the Blazing Sun Ancient Kingdom's first-tier treasure land without authorization broke the unwritten rules between the two Ancient Kingdoms.

Once word got out, he would definitely be punished by the Profound Yin Ancient Kingdom, but no matter the punishment, it would be much lighter than losing this Physical Body.

And right now,

Northern Yin Celestial Venerable had a feeling that if he didn't fight with his life on the line, he would simply be unable to break free from the external Universe's suppression. If things dragged on until reinforcements from the Blazing Sun Ancient Kingdom arrived, there would even be the possibility of being captured alive and suppressed.

For a Heavenly Venerable level expert to secretly break the unwritten rules and make a move, the Profound Yin Ancient Kingdom, for the sake of face, would definitely punish him, but they wouldn't punish him too heavily since he was one of their own after all.

But if he were captured alive and suppressed, the Profound Yin Ancient Kingdom would lose face completely, and there would be no upper limit to his punishment.

Rumble.

Northern Yin Celestial Venerable began to burn his physical Origin, wanting to break the surrounding spacetime suppression, but found it had little effect. The rolling power of suppression crushed over like a millstone.

Unmatched.

Unstoppable.

Northern Yin Celestial Venerable was shocked inwardly.

"Galaxy Great Venerable."

Northern Yin Celestial Venerable shifted his gaze to look at Lin Yuan, who was overlooking him, and suddenly spoke: "Perhaps I should call you… Milky Way Heavenly Lord?"

Given the scale of the Blazing Sun Ancient Kingdom, for a Heavenly Venerable level expert to be born, although extremely rare, was not too incredible.

After all, the Blazing Sun Ancient Kingdom had a large batch of Great Venerable Peak Experts who were only a step away from the Heavenly Venerable Realm and could break through at any time.

But Lin Yuan?

Lin Yuan was a core royal family member recognized by the Blazing Sun Ancient Kingdom.

To become a Heavenly Venerable with the identity of a core royal family member, how could the significance be the same as other newly born Celestial Venerables?

"Milky Way Heavenly Lord?"

Not far away, Ji Han Heavenly Venerable also looked at Lin Yuan, a monstrous storm churning in his heart. The saying that the core royal families of the major Ancient Kingdoms could not cross the Heavenly Venerable shackles had been broken by Lin Yuan?

Lin Yuan overlooked Northern Yin Celestial Venerable and Ji Han Heavenly Venerable without speaking.

Revealing Heavenly Venerable level strength was something Lin Yuan had planned long ago.

Moreover, with his previous strength surpassing ordinary Limit Core Royal Family members, Lin Yuan stepping into the Heavenly Venerable level was not considered hard to believe.

Whether it was the emperor of the Blazing Sun Ancient Kingdom or Crimson Treasure King, they were all looking forward to Lin Yuan breaking the royal family's Heavenly Venerable shackles.

"I concede defeat this time."

Northern Yin Celestial Venerable took a deep look at Lin Yuan, and immediately his Physical Body and Soul began to perish.

With Northern Yin Celestial Venerable's strength, he could completely support himself for a while longer under the suppression of Lin Yuan's external Universe.

After all, Lin Yuan was not in his true body at the moment, but rather his Taiyin Primordial Spirit, and his strength had not yet reached the level where he could easily crush a Celestial Venerable.

But every moment it dragged on, the Blazing Sun Ancient Kingdom's reinforcements could arrive at any time.

Once the reinforcements that arrived were those Peak Heavenly Venerables of the Blazing Sun Ancient Kingdom, Northern Yin might not even be able to self-destruct his Soul.

Under this circumstance, to be safe, Northern Yin Celestial Venerable still chose to abandon this main battle Physical Body.

"Northern Yin."

Ji Han Heavenly Venerable saw this scene and remained silent.

Why Northern Yin Celestial Venerable took the initiative to perish his Physical Body was also very clear to Ji Han Heavenly Venerable.

"Let's try again."

Blood red faintly appeared in Ji Han Heavenly Venerable's eyes, and a chill that froze spacetime permeated his body, but facing the external Universe power emitted by Lin Yuan, it all rapidly dissipated.

"Forget it."

Approaching ten breaths, Ji Han Heavenly Venerable also felt that resistance was hopeless, and he couldn't escape in a short time anyway.

He also began to perish his Physical Body and Soul.

Soon,

the physical bodies and Souls of the two ancient Celestial Venerables were completely obliterated.

Lin Yuan watched quietly without stopping them.

In fact, he couldn't stop them anyway. Let alone that he was only a Taiyin Primordial Spirit right now.

Even if his true body were here, it would still be very difficult to prevent a Heavenly Venerable level expert from actively perishing their Physical Body.

In the Chaos Void, Lin Yuan suppressed Black Obsidian Great Saint, Great Saint Kuang Man, and other Chaotic Great Saints because these Great Saints were unwilling to perish their main battle physical bodies.

That was why they could be successfully suppressed.

The Great Saints in the Chaos Void had no distinction of Ancient Kingdoms. When they were suppressed and captured, it could only be said that their skills were inferior. Being able to redeem their physical bodies, they naturally chose to redeem them.

But in this Origin World? Heavenly Venerables basically all pledged allegiance to the Six Ancient Kingdoms, and being captured by a hostile Ancient Kingdom was a very serious consequence.

The same applied to Experts with higher status.

For example, in the previous war between the Azure Ember Domain and the Purple Dream Domain, King Lingwei and Spirit God King similarly took the initiative to perish their physical bodies and Souls, rather than being captured by Lin Yuan at the cost of losing their main battle physical bodies.

"This is considered acceptable."

Lin Yuan was quite satisfied in his heart. Forcing a Heavenly Venerable level expert to actively perish their Physical Body and Soul was simply too difficult to achieve.

On the battlefield, even if a Heavenly Venerable level expert was suppressed by Lin Yuan, other Celestial Venerables would soon come to support them. The suppressed Celestial Venerable only needed to hold out for a while, far from reaching the extent of perishing body and Soul.

Unless one could sweep away all enemies with their own strength, but that was too difficult, and the major Ancient Kingdoms would trigger their foundational trump cards.

It was precisely in this Black Jade Nest, where the identities of Northern Yin Celestial Venerable and Ji Han Heavenly Venerable could not see the light of day, coupled with the Blazing Sun Ancient Kingdom Experts who could arrive to support at any time, that made these two Heavenly Venerable level Experts make such a choice.

"Hmm?"

Lin Yuan looked toward the location where the two Celestial Venerables perished.

Several weapons, armaments, and world secret treasures all fell down.

"I've long wanted to witness the secret method legacies of the Profound Yin Ancient Kingdom."

Lin Yuan's eyes lit up. The path he walked was the path of Taiji, and Taiji was further divided into Taiyang and Taiyin. Although Taiyang and Blazing Sun, Taiyin and Profound Yin were not the same thing,

they could still be used as references after all. The many Blazing Sun legacies of the Blazing Sun Ancient Kingdom had played a huge role in Lin Yuan's path of Taiyang.

Therefore, Lin Yuan was very looking forward to the many Profound Yin legacies of the Profound Yin Ancient Kingdom.
