Chapter 647 Evolving the Chaotic Taiji Path

"This Giant Core Heavenly Pillar is right next to me?"

Lin Yuan looked closely at a Heavenly Pillar that was ten times more majestic than the other Heavenly Pillars, rapidly manifesting from illusion. His heart was quite unsettled.

The entire spacetime treasured land was incomparably vast, and the Giant Core Heavenly Pillar could appear in any position. Yet, it appeared right next to Lin Yuan? Such a probability was practically the same as picking up a certain Thirteenth Order Legacy while walking down the road.

"What should I do?"

Looking at the Giant Core Heavenly Pillar before him, Lin Yuan thought for only an instant before making a decision.

Refine.

Hum!

Lin Yuan circulated his external Universe and immediately began refining it.

Blazing Sun Ancient Kingdom Capital, independent space.

Chiyan Celestial looked at Lin Yuan dumbfounded, "You are saying that the Giant Core Heavenly Pillar is right next to you?"

"Right."

Lin Yuan nodded.

The remaining Peak Heavenly Venerables were also somewhat dazed. They had just been wondering where the Giant Core Heavenly Pillar would appear, yet it turned out to be so close to the Milky Way Heavenly Lord.

"I have already begun refining it."

Lin Yuan said immediately.

"Right."

"Refine it right now."

"I am already rushing over with all my strength."

Chiyan Celestial's expression was solemn.

Originally, he had already given up the thought of competing for the first Giant Core Heavenly Pillar, feeling that there was no need to fight to the death with Celestial Venerable Fu Xu.

But that was built on the premise that Celestial Venerable Fu Xu was the first to arrive at the Giant Core Heavenly Pillar and refine it first.

Forcing the Giant Core Heavenly Pillar away from Celestial Venerable Fu Xu's hands would cost too much, and whether it could actually be seized in the end was another matter entirely.

Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, Chiyan Celestial chose to give up, which was also the most rational choice.

But now?

The Giant Core Heavenly Pillar had appeared right next to Lin Yuan.

In other words, Lin Yuan was the first expert to come into contact with the Giant Core Heavenly Pillar. Under such circumstances, Chiyan Celestial chose to compete for this Giant Core Heavenly Pillar without almost any hesitation.

There was no other way.

This Giant Core Heavenly Pillar was practically delivered to them.

If Chiyan Celestial gave up again, he would be too timid and indecisive.

"Three breaths. Using special methods, I can arrive at your location within three breaths. You only need to hold on for two breaths."

Chiyan Celestial said solemnly.

The foundational lethal weapon he brought out from the Blazing Sun Ancient Kingdom, once used, could completely protect that Giant Core treasured land.

By then, if Celestial Venerable Fu Xu still wanted to forcibly refine the Giant Core treasured land, he would have to pay a certain price. Under such circumstances, as long as Celestial Venerable Fu Xu was rational, he could completely choose to go and compete for the next born Giant Core Heavenly Pillar.

"I'll do my best."

Lin Yuan nodded.

Celestial Venerable Fu Xu could arrive within one breath, while Chiyan Celestial could arrive within three breaths.

That meant Lin Yuan needed to block Celestial Venerable Fu Xu for two breaths.

Actually, it could not really be called blocking; as long as he stalled Celestial Venerable Fu Xu for two breaths to prevent him from refining the Giant Core Heavenly Pillar, it would be enough.

In front of the Giant Core Heavenly Pillar.

Lin Yuan used only a tenth of a breath to successfully refine it.

For a moment, Lin Yuan felt once again that the suppression of this treasured land's spacetime upon him had decreased by a large margin.

At the same time, with the help of this Giant Core Heavenly Pillar, his many Incarnations could also descend instantly.

"Hmm?"

Lin Yuan's expression changed slightly as he saw ripples beginning to spread in the spacetime not far away, and a man wearing dark-colored robes walked out.

"Celestial Venerable Fu Xu?"

Lin Yuan's expression was solemn. This man wearing dark-colored robes was precisely Celestial Venerable Fu Xu, an existence comparable to the Moyu Tower Master.

"How could he be so fast?"

Lin Yuan felt pressure. Only a tenth of a breath had passed, and Celestial Venerable Fu Xu had already arrived?

There were two possible reasons for this.

First, Celestial Venerable Fu Xu had hidden his strength, and his true methods were far from what he had displayed over the past thousand years.

Second, Celestial Venerable Fu Xu happened to be nearby as well, so his speed of arrival exceeded Lin Yuan's expectations.

"Your luck is quite good."

Celestial Venerable Fu Xu glanced at Lin Yuan and said with a smile.

At his speed, by the time he rushed to this Giant Core Heavenly Pillar, Lin Yuan had not only already arrived, but had also refined the Heavenly Pillar.

There was only one explanation.

That was that the Giant Core Heavenly Pillar simply appeared right next to Lin Yuan.

"But unfortunately, you met me."

Before Celestial Venerable Fu Xu's voice had even faded, the surrounding spacetime began to grow dim.

An aura where all things were void descended.

From arriving here to speaking his second sentence, not even a ten-thousandth of a breath had passed before Celestial Venerable Fu Xu directly attacked, without delaying even a bit of time.

"This?"

Lin Yuan furrowed his brows deeply. Under this dim and illusory power, his Divine Ability 'World' began to collapse and be obliterated.

"Scram."

Celestial Venerable Fu Xu slapped down with his right hand. Lin Yuan's expression changed drastically, his external Universe collapsed by more than half in an instant, and he himself was directly sent flying by the slap.

Swish.

Celestial Venerable Fu Xu took a step forward, stood beside the Giant Core Heavenly Pillar, and immediately began refining it. In the blink of an eye, he successfully purged Lin Yuan's mark and smoothly refined this Giant Core Heavenly Pillar.

"Celestial Venerable Fu Xu?"

Lin Yuan's expression was ugly. From the appearance of Celestial Venerable Fu Xu until now, only half a breath had passed.

"Is this the strength comparable to an Invincible Great Saint?"

Lin Yuan took a deep breath. Although he did not suffer any injuries, under Celestial Venerable Fu Xu's attack, he simply could not resist and could only be passively sent flying.

"The Thirteenth Order Legacy cultivated by Celestial Venerable Fu Xu should be related to time."

Through the brief exchange just now, Lin Yuan also deduced a lot. Facing Celestial Venerable Fu Xu's attack, his concept of time was completely disordered, and he had completely no thought of actively striking back or resisting.

He completely relied on his external Universe for passive defense.

"To be able to endure a strike from me without suffering much injury, you are not bad at all."

After successfully refining the Giant Core Heavenly Pillar, Celestial Venerable Fu Xu glanced at Lin Yuan and said with a hint of appreciation.

He knew very well the methods he used; in an instant, it could shield the enemy's perception of time, allowing them to take multiple blows from him completely unprepared.

Under such circumstances, Lin Yuan was only sent flying without suffering much injury. His defensive capability could already be considered terrifying, and it was rare even among top Peak Heavenly Venerables.

Swish.

Suddenly.

A trace of spacetime fluctuation emerged not far away.

A majestic figure appeared. He looked at the Giant Core Heavenly Pillar with a somewhat ugly expression.

"Celestial Venerable Fu Xu, you certainly arrived fast."

The majestic figure said in a deep voice. He had already rushed here fast enough—not even a single breath had passed—yet he still let Celestial Venerable Fu Xu arrive a step ahead.

"Your Barbaric Ancient Kingdom has indeed spent quite a bit of effort this time to compete for this treasured land."

Celestial Venerable Fu Xu smiled slightly.

"Hmph."

The majestic figure snorted coldly, and his figure disappeared.

If before he arrived, Celestial Venerable Fu Xu had not yet refined the Giant Core Heavenly Pillar, he would completely not mind fighting for it.

But now?

Celestial Venerable Fu Xu had refined the Giant Core Heavenly Pillar first, so there was no need to fight anymore.

Swish, swish, swish.

Next.

One figure after another appeared once again.

Looking from afar at the Giant Core Heavenly Pillar.

"Celestial Venerable Fu Xu has refined it."

"Just as expected, who can compete with Celestial Venerable Fu Xu for the first Giant Core Heavenly Pillar?"

"Sigh, let's just wait for the next one."

Peak Heavenly Venerables who rushed over conversed with one another and retreated successively.

"What a pity."

Chiyan Celestial shook his head slightly, then looked at Lin Yuan with a solemn expression: "However, it is not without gains. At least we are clear that the Thirteenth Order Legacy cultivated by Celestial Venerable Fu Xu is not just one; there is also one related to time."

Lin Yuan had already truthfully recounted the situation of Celestial Venerable Fu Xu's attack just now to Chiyan Celestial.

Just like Lin Yuan's deduction, Chiyan Celestial also concluded that Celestial Venerable Fu Xu had used a Thirteenth Order Legacy method related to time.

Otherwise, it wouldn't have caused Lin Yuan to not even have the thought of resisting.

You must know.

Top Peak Heavenly Venerables were indeed not matches for Celestial Venerable Fu Xu, but the gap between the two sides was not as large as imagined.

Especially Lin Yuan, whose foundation was unfathomably deep. At a critical moment, he could directly detonate his external Universe. Even if he dragged it out hard, he could drag it out for a few breaths to support himself until Chiyan Celestial arrived.

But in reality, Celestial Venerable Fu Xu simply did not give Lin Yuan the opportunity to unleash his full strength.

"Don't mind it; anyway, we didn't plan to seize the first Giant Core treasured land in the first place."

Chiyan Celestial comforted Lin Yuan with a few words.

Lin Yuan nodded and didn't say much else.

Chaos Void.

Deep within the Milky Way Chaos Continent.

Lin Yuan sat cross-legged and began to review the gap between himself and Experts like Celestial Venerable Fu Xu.

"Compared to these Experts who have achieved Realm Perfection and mastered more than one Thirteenth Order method, my advantages have been almost wiped out." Lin Yuan examined himself.

Speaking of Thirteenth Order methods, Lin Yuan had the Infinite Void Legacy, and the Divine Ability 'Blazing Sun Creation of the Heavens' counted as half. Combining the two was equivalent to two Thirteenth Order methods.

But Celestial Venerable Fu Xu had them too.

Celestial Venerable Fu Xu also had advantages that Lin Yuan lacked.

For example, the path of Chaos power evolution.

And Realm advantages, and so on.

And Experts like Celestial Venerable Fu Xu—there was more than one in the Da Fu Ancient Kingdom.

Even the other five Ancient Kingdoms, such as the Blazing Sun Ancient Kingdom and the Profound Yin Ancient Kingdom, had them.

It's just that such Experts had no other desires left and were basically preparing to charge toward that step. Even if a new first-class treasured land was born, it couldn't move them.

Celestial Venerable Fu Xu being able to come over was entirely because he happened to be idle with nothing to do.

"Take it slow; I still have plenty of room for improvement."

Lin Yuan reined in his thoughts and did not produce any feelings of frustration.

Next.

Lin Yuan continued to carry out his cultivation.

"Infinite Void." Lin Yuan focused on the cultivation of the third layer of this Thirteenth Order Legacy. He could feel that he was already very close to mastering the third layer and allowing his internal Universe to undergo a transformation.

Just at this moment——

Dong!

Dong!

Dong, dong, dong!

A low and powerful sound suddenly appeared.

Seeming to perceive something, Lin Yuan immediately stopped cultivating the Infinite Void, and his consciousness Incarnation came to the highest place of his internal Universe.

Here, Chaos Qi drifted, the essences of numerous Chaos Rules meandered, and a giant egg composed entirely of Chaos Qi floated quietly there.

Dong, dong, dong!

A low sound emanated from inside the giant egg, as if it was evolving and gestating something.

"My Chaotic Taiji Path is about to evolve?"

Lin Yuan carefully observed that giant egg.

As time passed.

Cracking sounds continuously appeared on the giant egg, and cracks surfaced on its surface. Finally, two forces that were distinct in black and white yet blended with each other evolved out along the cracks.

The black and white forces continuously blended, containing the ultimate Taiyin and Taiyang powers. A terrifying aura naturally spread outward from these black and white forces. As the aura spread, it instantly crushed layers of spacetime, and even large swaths of Chaos Qi were collapsing and being annihilated.

"What power is this?"

The Red-Clothed Girl, who was sleeping leaning against the jade gourd, woke up abruptly. Vaguely, she perceived a certain sense of oppression—an oppression that surpassed that of all previous cultivators of the Infinite Void Legacy.
