Chapter 642: Which Two Peak Heavenly Venerables Are Fighting? (The winner list for Black Myth will be announced later)
Spirit Prison Celestial Venerable's two eyes contained two deep spirit prisons, which were the Chaos power paths evolved by Spirit Prison Celestial Venerable.
In terms of direct attacks, Spirit Prison Celestial Venerable was not considered very strong, but when it came to suppressing and trapping enemies, among the dozens of Peak Heavenly Venerables from the Six Ancient Kingdoms this time, Spirit Prison Celestial Venerable could definitely rank in the top three.
As long as it was not a top-tier Peak Heavenly Venerable, anyone who fell into his eye-prison would be trapped for at least several days to dozens of days.
Facing a top-tier Peak Heavenly Venerable? Spirit Prison Celestial Venerable would not easily take Experts of this level into his eyes.
First, he could not trap them for long.
Second, it would scatter most of his focus to suppress them.
It would outweigh the gains.
There was nothing wrong with this either. After all, among the dozens of Peak Heavenly Venerables from the Six Ancient Kingdoms this time, not many could truly be called top-tier Peak Heavenly Venerables, only numbering around ten or twenty in total.
The vast majority were still normal Peak Heavenly Venerables.
Guanglie Celestial could divide into thirty-three Clones, with each single Clone being equivalent to a relatively strong Peak Heavenly Venerable. Yet, if he encountered Spirit Prison Celestial Venerable, he would still be suppressed and trapped for a period of time.
In fact, not only would Spirit Prison Celestial Venerable not easily make a move against any top-tier Peak Heavenly Venerable,
nor was it possible for other top-tier Peak Heavenly Venerables to fight upon meeting, even for a core heavenly pillar of a treasure land.
Now that the many Experts had just entered the treasure land, there were still many ownerless core heavenly pillars. Even if top-tier Peak Heavenly Venerables encountered each other, one of them would eventually withdraw and look for a new core heavenly pillar.
As for fighting to the death over this? Unless it reached the Late Stage of the competition where basically all core heavenly pillars had owners, top-tier Peak Heavenly Venerables would not let loose and make a move to determine the outcome.
"My… eyes?"
Spirit Prison Celestial Venerable let out a miserable scream as his right eye exploded. This was equivalent to the Chaos power path he had evolved being damaged, which had a huge impact on him.
Swish, swish.
Deep within the dense spacetime fluctuations, Lin Yuan slowly walked out and glanced at Spirit Prison Celestial Venerable, who was covering his right eye.
Inside the right eye-prison of Spirit Prison Celestial Venerable, spacetime had almost condensed into substance. The moment Lin Yuan sank deep into it, he proactively unfolded the Divine Ability "World". The thirty-three thousand three hundred and thirty-three Blazing Sun Seeds within his body formed a grand cycle, projecting onto the external Universe and transforming into thirty-three thousand three hundred and thirty-three blazing suns.
In one fell swoop, they blew open Spirit Prison Celestial Venerable's right eye-prison.
"This Spirit Prison Celestial Venerable truly lives up to his reputation," Lin Yuan thought to himself.
If the Blazing Sun Seeds within his body had not formed a grand cycle, then falling into the opponent's spirit prison at this moment would have resulted in him being suppressed for at least several days or even ten days.
"Milky Way Heavenly Lord, you possess the strength of a top-tier Peak Heavenly Venerable?"
Spirit Prison Celestial Venerable's figure trembled slightly before quickly calming down.
His right eye had exploded, but he still had his left eye, and his Foundation remained. He quickly stabilized himself.
An expert capable of breaking the spirit prison in his eyes like this could only possibly be a top-tier Peak Heavenly Venerable.
Furthermore, it was the kind of top-tier Peak Heavenly Venerable who excelled in slaughter and combat.
Spirit Prison Celestial Venerable's reluctance to take top-tier Peak Heavenly Venerables into his eyes was also due to this concern.
The Chaos evolutionary paths of top-tier Peak Heavenly Venerables encompassed everything. In case he encountered one with heaven-shaking killing power, it was entirely possible for them to shatter the spirit prison from within.
Right now, Lin Yuan was exactly like that.
The expressions of the other Peak Heavenly Venerables from the Great Spirit Ancient Kingdom around them changed slightly.
Top-tier Peak Heavenly Venerable?
Had Milky Way Heavenly Lord not just stepped into the Heavenly Venerable level?
"You flatter me." Lin Yuan quietly looked at Spirit Prison Celestial Venerable.
Having been taken into the opponent's right eye-prison, Lin Yuan could only go all out. Otherwise, if he remained trapped inside, the losses would definitely be even greater.
"Even if you stepped into the Heavenly Venerable realm with the Ancestral Bloodline, I don't believe your strength could improve so quickly."
Spirit Prison Celestial Venerable stared at Lin Yuan, a vortex faintly spinning in the depths of his left eye.
For a moment, the rules of heaven and earth were changing, and a deep prison took shape, resembling as if the spirit prison within Spirit Prison Celestial Venerable's left eye had been transferred to the outside world.
When dealing with enemies of different levels, Spirit Prison Celestial Venerable had different methods. Facing ordinary Peak Heavenly Venerables? Just taking them directly into the eye-prison would suffice.
But when facing a top-tier Peak Heavenly Venerable of the same level, he had to be much more cautious, first probing with the eye-prison and only taking them in after confirming that the opponent had no means to destroy the Foundation of the spirit prison.
"It seems they think I used external force?"
Lin Yuan understood clearly in his heart that the means by which he blew open the spirit prison clearly reached the top-tier Peak Heavenly Venerable level, but this did not mean Lin Yuan himself was a top-tier Peak Heavenly Venerable.
Perhaps some external force had been used?
With his right eye blown open, Spirit Prison Celestial Venerable could be said to have suffered heavy losses, and he definitely would not let Lin Yuan go easily.
"Very well, let me witness the strength of a top-tier Peak Heavenly Venerable."
Observing the changing heaven and earth around him, Lin Yuan noted that top-tier Peak Heavenly Venerables were already close to the Invincible Great Saint in the Chaos Void. Lin Yuan was somewhat interested in such an opponent.
Previously blowing open the spirit prison was entirely because Spirit Prison Celestial Venerable underestimated the enemy, and Lin Yuan had also taken a shortcut.
Rumble.
The next moment.
Two completely different spacetimes began to collide violently. Spirit Prison Celestial Venerable's left eye-prison and the Cosmic Power outside Lin Yuan's body continuously intertwined, their terrifying might causing large areas of spacetime to annihilate.
"Spirit Prison has been driven to true fury."
Not far away, the Great Spirit Peak Heavenly Venerables who were planning to refine the core heavenly pillar immediately retreated far away.
The Heavenly Venerables of the Six Ancient Kingdoms were divided into four tiers.
From weakest to strongest, they were—
Ordinary Heavenly Venerables.
Peak Heavenly Venerables.
Top-tier Peak Heavenly Venerables.
And Strongest Celestial Venerables like Celestial Venerable Fu Xu.
The Chaos power paths evolved by top-tier Peak Heavenly Venerables were much stronger than those of ordinary Heavenly Venerables and Peak Heavenly Venerables, resulting in a huge difference in combat power.
As for Strongest Celestial Venerables like Celestial Venerable Fu Xu? In reality, there was no essential gap between them and top-tier Peak Heavenly Venerables; the Chaos power paths they evolved were basically at the same level.
The reason Celestial Venerable Fu Xu stood one tier above top-tier Peak Heavenly Venerables was because he had successfully cultivated a certain supreme Legacy passed down by the ancestors.
The Thirteenth Order ancestors of the Six Ancient Kingdoms all left behind relevant supreme legacies in their family treasuries. Many Heavenly Venerables would try to Cultivate them, but those who could truly succeed in mastering them were exceedingly rare.
Cultivating and successfully mastering them were two different matters.
"Is this the strength of a top-tier Peak Heavenly Venerable?"
Several Peak Heavenly Venerables of the Great Spirit Ancient Kingdom looked at each other, inevitably feeling apprehensive.
The aftermath of the might erupted from the collision between Lin Yuan and Spirit Prison Celestial Venerable was almost equivalent to Peak Heavenly Venerables like them going all out.
"Milky Way Heavenly Lord should be a top-tier Peak Heavenly Venerable."
Several Great Spirit Peak Heavenly Venerables observed silently and made a judgment in their hearts.
Spirit Prison Celestial Venerable suspected that Lin Yuan had borrowed external force to blow open his right eye-prison, and these Peak Heavenly Venerables naturally had similar speculations.
After all, Lin Yuan's rise was too fast. Even possessing the Heavenly Venerable level ancestral Bloodline, didn't growth and excavation require time?
But after this kind of collision before their eyes, although Spirit Prison Celestial Venerable had lost his right eye, his strength as a top-tier Peak Heavenly Venerable was still there, yet he was still unable to suppress Milky Way Heavenly Lord by even a fraction.
This was real, head-on combat.
If not a top-tier Peak Heavenly Venerable, what was he?
Rumble ~ The head-on collision between the two top-tier Peak Heavenly Venerables continuously spread their might toward the surrounding heaven and earth.
"That is… top-tier Peak Heavenly Venerables fighting?"
A top-tier Peak Heavenly Venerable from the Thunder Ancient Kingdom had just refined a core heavenly pillar when he looked up in a certain direction, secretly wondering: "As soon as we entered the treasure land, top-tier Peak Heavenly Venerables are already exchanging blows?"
Except for Da Fu Ancient Kingdom, among the other five Ancient Kingdoms, top-tier Peak Heavenly Venerables were basically the upper limit of combat power. Such existences would not easily make a move even if they encountered each other during the Early Stage of competing for the treasure land.
"One of the top-tier Peak Heavenly Venerables is Spirit Prison Celestial Venerable, but who is the other one?"
The top-tier Peak Heavenly Venerable of the Thunder Ancient Kingdom gazed into the distance, pondering in his heart.
"Forget it, no matter who it is, the harder they fight, the better. That way I can take the opportunity to refine more core heavenly pillars."
This top-tier Peak Heavenly Venerable immediately flew in another direction to search for a new core heavenly pillar.
Meanwhile.
Peak Heavenly Venerables everywhere in the treasure land likewise felt the fierce battle between the top-tier Peak Heavenly Venerables.
"Is that Spirit Prison Celestial Venerable?"
"Did Spirit Prison Celestial Venerable run into an enemy? They are already fighting so quickly?"
"Who is the top-tier Peak Heavenly Venerable fighting Spirit Prison Celestial Venerable? I have never sensed the aura he is exhibiting before."
"However, this might is scorching and vigorous, which should belong to a top-tier Peak Heavenly Venerable from the Blazing Sun Ancient Kingdom. But none of the three top-tier Peak Heavenly Venerables dispatched by the Blazing Sun Ancient Kingdom this time—Chiyan Celestial, Hengyang Celestial, or Guanglie Celestial—look like this."
Many Peak Heavenly Venerables and even top-tier Peak Heavenly Venerables also divided their focus to pay attention. Of course, they did not pay too much heed and still mainly focused on frantically searching for the core of the heavenly pillars everywhere.
"Spirit Prison Eternal!"
Spirit Prison Celestial Venerable's right eye was hollow while his left eye was endlessly deep, and the surrounding heaven and earth faintly began to spin and distort.
This move was considered one of his ultimate killing moves, specially prepared for other top-tier Peak Heavenly Venerables, yet it was now being used on Lin Yuan.
"What is this?"
Lin Yuan's expression turned slightly solemn. The numerous Blazing Sun Seeds within his body began to glow. Within the heaven and earth shrouded by his external Universe, rounds of blazing suns rose, and in the blink of an eye, thirty-three thousand three hundred and thirty-three blazing suns spanned across the void.
As for the hundred-plus Blazing Sun Seeds condensed through subsequent continuous comprehension that could not merge into the grand cycle, Lin Yuan did not project them out.
Swish, swish.
Rounds of blazing suns hung high.
This was also the first time Lin Yuan had fully driven the Divine Ability "World" in front of outsiders. When he was previously trapped deep within the right eye-prison, there were no other Experts watching around him.
"It's this move again?"
Spirit Prison Celestial Venerable's expression was ferocious. His right eye had been blown open by this kind of continuous power of the blazing sun.
As rounds of blazing suns drifted up and down, the spirit prison heaven and earth released by Spirit Prison Celestial Venerable began to melt rapidly, collapsing sixty percent of its area in the blink of an eye.
"This kind of method has never been used by any of the many top-tier Peak Heavenly Venerables born in the history of the Blazing Sun Ancient Kingdom!" Spirit Prison Celestial Venerable felt strained while also finding it somewhat hard to believe.
At this moment, he had already confirmed that the method with which Lin Yuan blew open his right eye did not come from external force, but rather originated from his own strength.
"Spirit Prison Celestial Venerable, are you still not running?"
Rounds of blazing suns hovered around Lin Yuan's body, and he himself transformed into an even larger blazing sun, illuminating the surrounding Universe.
"Run?"
Spirit Prison Celestial Venerable felt suffocated in his heart, but he also knew that he truly should run. If this continued, he would have to pay a price if he wanted to leave later.
"Milky Way Heavenly Lord, you concealed your strength and crippled one of my spirit prisons in advance, otherwise how could I have fallen into a disadvantageous position?" Spirit Prison Celestial Venerable's remaining single eye looked at Lin Yuan, still somewhat unconvinced.
If the right eye-prison was still there, even if he couldn't defeat Milky Way Heavenly Lord, the two top-tier Peak Heavenly Venerables should have been unable to do anything to each other, rather than ending with him fleeing in defeat.
Two spirit prisons versus one spirit prison, for Spirit Prison Celestial Venerable, meant completely different levels of strength.
Of course, given the terrifying strength Lin Yuan had displayed at this moment, even if Spirit Prison Celestial Venerable's right eye was still there, it would be very difficult to do anything to him, at most resulting in a tie.
"Scram."
Lin Yuan looked down from above. With his current strength, forcibly keeping Spirit Prison Celestial Venerable was very difficult; even if he played all his trump cards, it would consume a massive amount of time with only a slim hope.
During this period, various variables would occur, such as other top-tier Peak Heavenly Venerables from the Great Spirit Ancient Kingdom coming to rescue him and so on.
Under such circumstances, it would lead to mutual attrition between the Blazing Sun Ancient Kingdom and the Great Spirit Ancient Kingdom, allowing the other four Ancient Kingdoms to reap the benefits. Lin Yuan naturally would not choose to do so.
Expelling Spirit Prison Celestial Venerable was enough.
In fact, if Spirit Prison Celestial Venerable had not been unwilling and wanted to determine Lin Yuan's true strength, the two of them would not have fought and killed each other at all.
"Let's go."
Spirit Prison Celestial Venerable felt suffocated in his heart, but he still maintained the remaining spirit prison heaven and earth and quickly fled.
Now, the spirit prison heaven and earth formed by his left eye, although small in coverage area, was immune to all laws. It quickly broke through the suppression of the external Universe outside Lin Yuan's body and escaped.
As for those few Peak Heavenly Venerables of the Great Spirit Ancient Kingdom from earlier, they had long since retreated far away.
The moment they sensed that things were going badly, they had also immediately evacuated.
Seeing this, Lin Yuan did not continue pursuing. Instead, he returned to the core heavenly pillar below and immediately began refining it.
"These heavenly pillars are the core of the treasure land. Refining the heavenly pillars allows one to control the treasure land to a certain extent?"
Accompanied by continuous refinement, Lin Yuan vaguely sensed the connection between this heavenly pillar and the treasure land.
In the independent space of the Blazing Sun capital,
Incarnations of twelve Peak Heavenly Venerables such as Chiyan Celestial and Guanglie Celestial had all gathered here in order to communicate and exchange information at any time.
The consciousnesses of the Incarnations and the true bodies were shared. Now that the twelve Heavenly Venerables were scattered across various parts of that newly born treasure land, their method of contacting each other relied on the twelve Incarnations present right now.
"Milky Way, why did fluctuations of top-tier Peak Heavenly Venerables fighting come from the core heavenly pillar you discovered?"
Chiyan Celestial immediately looked at Lin Yuan.
Hearing this, the gazes of the remaining Peak Heavenly Venerables also turned over. When two top-tier Peak Heavenly Venerables went all out and fought, more than half of the treasure land's range would perceive it. Even if they hadn't sensed it themselves, they would have learned about it from friends.
"Milky Way, exactly which top-tier Peak Heavenly Venerable is fighting that Spirit Prison?"
Guanglie Celestial was also somewhat curious, "I can sense that the aura and might of that top-tier Peak Heavenly Venerable are scorching and vigorous, with the aura of blazing suns flowing through them, but all twelve Heavenly Venerables of our Blazing Sun Ancient Kingdom are right here."
Hengyang Celestial also looked at Lin Yuan, a few speculations welling up in his heart, and a trace of strangeness surfaced in his gaze toward Lin Yuan.
"That Spirit Prison Celestial Venerable directly took me into his right eye-prison."
Lin Yuan did not hide it and stated truthfully: "I had no choice but to shatter that spirit prison. Then Spirit Prison Celestial Venerable exchanged blows and fought with me for a while before finally fleeing. Now, that core heavenly pillar has almost been refined by me."
As soon as these words were spoken,
the surroundings immediately fell into silence.
Even though the eleven Peak Heavenly Venerables had long harbored similar speculations in their hearts, hearing Lin Yuan admit it personally at this moment, they were still filled with utter disbelief.
Milky Way Heavenly Lord was not a Peak Heavenly Venerable? But a top-tier Peak Heavenly Venerable?
