Chapter 646: Third Realm, Heavenly Pillar Descending from the Sky

For Twelve-Order Life, a thousand years of time passed in the blink of an eye.

The Milky Way Chaos Continent became increasingly prosperous, and Experts at the Chaotic Great Saint level even frequently visited Lin Yuan.

Chaotic Great Saints would occasionally communicate with each other and verify the Chaos paths they had evolved, which Lin Yuan also valued quite a bit.

Although the power paths evolved based on Chaos had strengths and weaknesses, in essence they were all part of the Dao. By observing other Chaos evolution paths, Lin Yuan was also making up for his own comprehension of the Dao.

Deep within the Milky Way Chaos Continent.

Lin Yuan sat cross-legged.

Before him, wisps of Chaos Qi continuously formed mystery diagrams, which quickly dissipated after lasting for a moment.

After dissipating, they would condense again, repeating in an endless cycle as if there were no end.

"Chaos Rules."

Lin Yuan immersed himself in circulating Chaos Qi, placing a portion of his mind on comprehending the Chaotic Mystery Diagram.

The Chaotic Mystery Diagram was condensed by the Thirteenth Order First Ancestor of the Blazing Sun Ancient Kingdom in the Origin World using a great Divine Ability to gather the essence of the Chaos Rules, containing the fundamental context of the Chaos Rules.

It was a primary object of comprehension for Lin Yuan.

"I see."

How much time had passed was unknown.

Lin Yuan silently opened his eyes. Deep within his gaze, Chaos aura was brewing, and the mystery diagram composed of Chaos Qi in front of him quickly became complete and clear.

If a Celestial Venerable of the Blazing Sun Ancient Kingdom were watching nearby, they would discover that this Chaotic Mystery Diagram was nearly identical to the twenty-eighth Chaotic Mystery Diagram.

There were a total of eighty-one Chaotic Mystery Diagrams passed down by the Fiery Sun First Ancestor.

Among them, the mystery diagrams representing the First Realm of Chaos were the first eight.

The mystery diagrams representing the Second Stage of Chaos were from the ninth mystery diagram to the twenty-seventh mystery diagram.

The twenty-eighth Chaotic Mystery Diagram belonged to the Third Realm Realm of Chaos.

Lin Yuan briefly replicated the twenty-eighth Chaotic Mystery Diagram at this moment, meaning that his comprehension of the Chaos Rules had completely stepped into the Third Realm.

"Chaos evolves all things."

Lin Yuan was full of vigor. After his Chaos comprehension reached the Third Realm, he had a clearer understanding of the essence of all things.

The basic structure of the Chaos Void and the process of Chaos evolution were as clear as viewing lines on the palm of one's hand to Lin Yuan, appearing in every detail.

"All things will eventually return to Chaos once again."

Lin Yuan's gaze was profound as he looked toward the vast Chaos Void.

At this moment, Lin Yuan's Realm was infinitely elevated, as if he saw the operation of countless hundreds of millions of cosmic eras in the Chaos Void, and one day, the entire Chaos Void would experience a great destruction just like a naturally born Universe.

Everything in the Chaos Void would transform back into Chaos.

"Not only the Chaos Void, but the Origin World is also like this."

Lin Yuan thought to himself. Of course, he had no worries about this; existences of such volume as the Chaos Void and Origin World had destruction cycles that were far too long—so long that the years experienced by a Peerless Great Saint were merely a drop in the ocean to them.

"Chaos Rules Third Realm"

A smile appeared on Lin Yuan's face. A thousand years of arduous cultivation allowing his comprehension of the Chaos Rules to advance further was not beyond his expectations.

The help of the Chaotic Mystery Diagram in comprehending the Chaos Rules was truly too great, practically equivalent to taking a shortcut—no, it was even more convenient than taking a shortcut.

This was also the feedback given to their descendants and all living beings by the Thirteenth Order First Ancestors of the Six Ancient Kingdoms in that Origin World.

An Invincible Great Saint, who was difficult to be born even once in hundreds of thousands or millions of cosmic eras in the Chaos Void, existed in every era among the Six Ancient Kingdoms. Even for the Da Fu Ancient Kingdom, there was more than one such Celestial Venerable.

For example, Celestial Venerable Fu Xu was equivalent to the combat power of an Invincible Great Saint in the Chaos Void, and in the Da Fu Ancient Kingdom, Experts like Celestial Venerable Fu Xu definitely still existed.

It was not to say that the living beings of the Chaos Void were inferior to the Origin World, but rather that the Thirteenth Order Lifeforms of the two dimensional worlds had different attitudes toward lower-level lifeforms.

The Thirteenth Order First Ancestors of the Origin World valued them relatively more, and it could even be said they worried about them endlessly.

Meanwhile, the Thirteen Step Time Life in the Chaos Void practically treated them with a laissez-faire attitude.

If the various Thirteen Step Time Life in the Chaos Void also left behind numerous Legacies and granted many opportunities like 'possession', it was believed that the Chaos Void would also give birth to one Invincible Great Saint after another.

"My strength."

Lin Yuan carefully sensed it for a moment.

His comprehension of the Chaos Rules had reached the Third Realm.

For Lin Yuan's direct strength enhancement, it was not too large or exaggerated.

However, the indirect enhancement was immeasurable.

First was the evolution of the Chaotic Taiji Path. At this moment, Lin Yuan clearly sensed that the giant egg nurtured in his inner Universe was basically within ten years away from completely evolving the Chaotic Taiji Path.

"Ten years."

Lin Yuan's mind was excited. The Chaotic Taiji Path was the path he had chosen since he was in the Second Order, which could be described as the ultimate Dao fruit of his entire cultivation journey.

This Dao fruit did not disappoint Lin Yuan. While other Great Saints and Venerables only needed the First Realm of Chaos to evolve their chaotic power paths, the Chaotic Taiji Path required reaching the threshold of evolution only at the Peak of the Second Stage of Chaos.

This was still because Lin Yuan's Comprehension Ability was Heaven-Defying. If it were changed to other Experts, they would probably have to wait until their Chaos comprehension reached the Third Realm before starting to evolve.

Chaos Rules Third Realm? And only then start evolving the chaotic power path?

For a Chaotic Great Saint, this was not a good thing.

Because the Third Realm of Chaos was too difficult to reach, and before the chaotic power path had been evolved, no matter how high the rule comprehension was, it was only equivalent to a Peak Venerable.

Even in the Six Ancient Kingdoms where rule comprehension was easier, generally only top Peak Heavenly Venerables could comprehend the Chaos Rules to the Third Realm.

And without evolving the chaotic power path, one was not even a Venerable; the transition in the middle was too difficult.

It was just that Lin Yuan, although he had not evolved a rule path with Chaos, had far too sufficient Foundations in other aspects, making up for the gap in the chaotic evolution power path between him and other Great Saints and Celestial Venerables.

The Third Realm of Chaos, besides greatly accelerating the evolution of the Chaotic Taiji Path, had far-reaching impacts in other aspects as well, such as the time to step into the Chaos Realm. Currently, what restricted Lin Yuan from breaking through to the Chaos Realm was that various aspects had not yet grown to their limits.

Such as Physical Body Breakthrough, Soul, inner Universe, and so on.

And Chaos nurtures all things; the Third Realm Chaos Rules allowed Lin Yuan to rapidly improve in all aspects.

In addition, it also helped with the cultivation of the third layer of Infinite Void. With a higher-level comprehension of the Chaos Rules regarding the basic structure of the Universe, it would also become much easier and smoother.

Origin World, within the treasured land.

Lin Yuan's true body and physical self had not been searching for the core heavenly pillars of the treasured land.

Over a thousand years, seventy to eighty Peak Heavenly Venerable level Experts from the Six Ancient Kingdoms had continuously searched, and basically all the core heavenly pillars had been searched and refined.

Currently, the rankings of the major Ancient Kingdoms in refining the core heavenly pillars are as follows——

Da Fu Ancient Kingdom: Seventy-two.

Barbaric Ancient Kingdom: Fifty-four.

Blazing Sun Ancient Kingdom: Fifty-two.

Great Spirit Ancient Kingdom: Forty-five.

Thunder Ancient Kingdom: Thirty-eight.

Dark Yin Ancient Kingdom: Thirty-eight.

Among the rankings of the various Ancient Kingdoms in refining the core heavenly pillars, the Da Fu Ancient Kingdom was undisputed first.

This did not exceed the expectations of the many Peak Heavenly Venerables. With Celestial Venerable Fu Xu of the Da Fu Ancient Kingdom making a move, the top Peak Heavenly Venerables of other Ancient Kingdoms would basically concede.

Even though these top Peak Heavenly Venerables carried the foundational lethal weapons of their respective Ancient Kingdoms, they would not easily use them.

"This Barbaric Ancient Kingdom"

Lin Yuan's expression was slightly surprised. The Peak Heavenly Venerables of the Barbaric Ancient Kingdom were completely risking their lives in competing for the core heavenly pillars, to the extent that Chiyan Celestial had actively conceded a few times.

The top Peak Heavenly Venerables of the Barbaric Ancient Kingdom would only slightly concede when encountering Celestial Venerable Fu Xu.

And when facing top Peak Heavenly Venerables from other Ancient Kingdoms? They always adopted a posture of perishing together.

"However, the number of core heavenly pillars in this first-class treasured land actually exceeds three hundred?"

Lin Yuan's expression was slightly solemn. According to the information learned before coming, the number of cores in a normal first-class treasured land was roughly between one hundred and two hundred.

Three hundred?

Very, very few. Among currently known first-class treasured lands, there were only six whose number of treasured land cores reached over three hundred when they were first born.

"Three hundred core heavenly pillars… In this treasured land, there should also be Giant Core Heavenly Pillars completely integrated into space and time."

Lin Yuan thought to himself. This was also a conclusion drawn from those six treasured lands; giant treasured land cores had appeared in all six of those treasured lands back then.

A giant treasured land core far exceeded an ordinary treasured land core. One giant treasured land core was equivalent to ten ordinary treasured land cores.

However, unlike ordinary treasured land cores, the giant treasured land core completely integrated into the space and time within the treasured land, and no matter how one investigated, it could not be discovered. It would only emerge after all the treasured land cores were refined.

Moreover, the commotion of a giant treasured land core emerging was huge, and the entire treasured land would be affected.

"The giant treasured land core is very important. Not only is it equivalent to ten ordinary treasured land cores, but it will also be much easier to guard."

Lin Yuan thought to himself. Currently, each major Ancient Kingdom occupied dozens of treasured land core heavenly pillars, but there were only twelve Peak Heavenly Venerables. How could twelve Peak Heavenly Venerables guard dozens of core heavenly pillars?

Although the Heavenly Venerable who refined the heavenly pillar could instantly descend beside the refined heavenly pillar, if multiple refined heavenly pillars were simultaneously attacked by other Experts, which one should they choose to descend to?

As for the Giant Core Heavenly Pillar, once refined, it was equivalent to guarding ten core heavenly pillars with the difficulty of guarding a single core heavenly pillar.

"According to the experience of the previous six treasured lands, the giant treasured land core might appear in any location of the treasured land. Central area? Edge area? Both are possible."

Lin Yuan thought silently in his heart, while carefully sensing the surrounding space-time fluctuations.

Once the Giant Core Heavenly Pillar emerged, the resulting anomaly could not be concealed. As long as it was detected, one could rush over at the first moment.

Blazing Sun Ancient Kingdom capital, independent space.

"The first Giant Core Heavenly Pillar—it is unlikely that our Blazing Sun Ancient Kingdom will refine it."

Chiyan Celestial said in a calm tone, "Therefore, there is no need to care too much about it."

The other Peak Heavenly Venerables hearing this did not refute it too much.

Firstly, the space and time within the treasured land were vast, and the Giant Core Heavenly Pillar could appear anywhere.

In terms of traveling speed, among the seventy to eighty Peak Heavenly Venerables of the Six Ancient Kingdoms currently, absolutely no one could surpass Celestial Venerable Fu Xu of the Da Fu Ancient Kingdom.

Over the past thousand years, Celestial Venerable Fu Xu had already displayed his space-time attainments. From one side of the treasured land to the other, Celestial Venerable Fu Xu only needed a single breath.

That is to say, as long as the Giant Core Heavenly Pillar appeared, Celestial Venerable Fu Xu could descend within a single breath.

With such a terrifying speed, no top Peak Heavenly Venerable could compare. And under the circumstance that Celestial Venerable Fu Xu took the lead in refining the Giant Core Heavenly Pillar, the other Ancient Kingdoms basically had no opportunity.

"Our target is the second and third Giant Core Heavenly Pillars."

Chiyan Celestial said.

Normally speaking, a treasured land that nurtured over three hundred treasured land cores would give birth to three giant cores.

The previous six treasured lands were precisely like this, each possessing three giant treasured land cores.

With the strength of Celestial Venerable Fu Xu, occupying the first giant treasured land core was not a problem at all, but wanting to occupy the second? That would be very difficult.

Once Celestial Venerable Fu Xu went to compete for the second giant treasured land core, the first giant treasured land core he occupied would inevitably be attacked by top Peak Heavenly Venerables from other Ancient Kingdoms.

"Understood."

Lin Yuan nodded.

Up to now, within this treasured land, Celestial Venerable Fu Xu's strength was still undisputedly the strongest.

In fact, not only in this treasured land, but in the history of the Six Ancient Kingdoms, among lives below the First Ancestor, Celestial Venerable Fu Xu's strength could be called the absolute strongest small handful.

Therefore, Chiyan Celestial had already tacitly conceded the first Giant Core Heavenly Pillar to Celestial Venerable Fu Xu.

Within the treasured land, Lin Yuan casually hid in a valley to Cultivate.

As the leader of this Blazing Sun Ancient Kingdom operation to contend for the treasured land, since Chiyan Celestial had already given up the contention for the first Giant Core Heavenly Pillar, Lin Yuan would naturally comply.

Moreover, Lin Yuan felt that Chiyan Celestial made a lot of sense; there was no need to fight to the death with Celestial Venerable Fu Xu. Now only half of the time had passed, and it had not yet reached the most intense period of contention. He could completely wait a bit longer and see.

Time slowly passed.

Just on a certain day.

The space and time within the treasured land trembled slightly.

A strange fluctuation instantly swept across all directions.

"This aura—is it the Giant Core Heavenly Pillar emerging?"

Peak Heavenly Venerables were immediately startled. This fluctuation originated from the treasured land itself and could not be caused by Experts fighting. Under the current circumstances, only the Giant Core Heavenly Pillar could cause such a commotion.

"Humph!"

"Blazing Sun Ancient Kingdom, Thunder Ancient Kingdom, and Dark Yin Ancient Kingdom have all given up contesting the first Giant Core Heavenly Pillar, but my Barbaric Ancient Kingdom wants to contend for it. So what if that Celestial Venerable Fu Xu is strong?"

A towering figure flipped his hand, and a heart composed entirely of space-time power appeared before him. Every beat of the heart stirred up wisps of space-time power.

"Let's go."

This towering figure urged this space-time heart, tearing through layers of space and time, and headed toward the location where the Giant Core Heavenly Pillar emerged.

"Giant Core Heavenly Pillar? It might not necessarily be… I am from the Great Spirit Ancient Kingdom."

Spirit Prison Celestial Venerable's gaze was profound. At this moment, his eyes were fully restored, and his aura became increasingly profound and distant. The instant he sensed the strange fluctuation, his figure disappeared.

At the same time.

One Peak Heavenly Venerable after another also headed toward the location of the Giant Core Heavenly Pillar at the same time. Even if they did not plan to contend, they prepared to watch from afar; after all, Celestial Venerable Fu Xu would definitely make a move.

"This?"

Lin Yuan also sensed this strange fluctuation. Compared to the Experts of other Ancient Kingdoms, his perception of the strange fluctuation was much stronger and clearer, just as if it were right in front of his eyes.

In fact, it was indeed so.

The location where the Giant Core Heavenly Pillar appeared at this moment was right beside him, with a distance of no more than a few hundred meters between the two, almost sticking together.
