Chapter 649: Lin Yuan and the Celestial Reverends

Having evolved the Chaotic Taiji Path, Lin Yuan was certain that his strength had completely surpassed the Peerless Great Saint.

However, whether he had reached the Invincible Great Saint level, he still wasn't sure.

The gap in strength between a Peerless Great Saint and an Invincible Great Saint was too vast.

Back then, Your Majesty Xuan Huang could easily chase Peerless Great Saints like Sky Vault Great Sage and Jade Kirin Great Sage into a dead end with nowhere to run or hide, ultimately forcing them into Reincarnation.

Even among the Six Ancient Kingdoms of the Origin World, the strongest Celestials benchmarked against the Invincible Great Saint, such as Experts like Celestial Venerable Fu Xu, stood far above the Peak Heavenly Venerable.

Before Celestial Venerable Fu Xu, Lin Yuan didn't even have a chance to fight back; he could only take a passive beating, and the power and methods mastered by the other party completely exceeded the scope of what Lin Yuan could cope with.

Therefore, Lin Yuan was very curious about his current strength: was he approaching the Invincible Great Saint, or had he completely stepped into the Invincible Great Saint level?

"Want to know how strong you are?"

Hearing this, the Red-Clothed Girl's mouth twitched slightly.

If she didn't clearly know Lin Yuan's personality and that this Infinite Void inheritor had just undergone a massive transformation, she would have doubted the authenticity of these words.

"Alright."

The Red-Clothed Girl nodded and immediately flipped her hand.

Suddenly, the jade gourd trembled slightly, and a piece of eternal fine gold hundreds of meters in size flew out, floating in front of Lin Yuan.

"Piercing through this piece of eternal fine gold roughly means possessing the strength of the fifth layer of the Infinite Void."

The Red-Clothed Girl spoke.

The Infinite Void had a total of seven layers, where the seventh layer was a theoretical level, while the fifth layer—normally, upon cultivating this Thirteenth Order Legacy to the fifth layer, one would possess the strength to roam the Chaos Void and become an Invincible Great Saint.

As for the sixth layer? Throughout history, very, very few Infinite Void cultivators had reached the sixth layer.

"Pierce through?"

Lin Yuan looked at the eternal fine gold in front of him.

The threshold for the second layer of the Infinite Void required leaving a trace of more than ten centimeters on the eternal fine gold.

Meanwhile, the fifth layer required piercing through a piece of eternal fine gold hundreds of meters wide; the gap during this process was indeed immense.

Whoosh.

The Cosmic Power within his body circulated, and the mighty black and white Taiji diagram loomed faintly.

The hundred-meter-wide eternal fine gold in front of Lin Yuan rapidly twisted and dissolved; in just a single breath, the entire piece of eternal fine gold was pierced through, and the remaining part continued to disintegrate.

"This kind of might?"

The Red-Clothed Girl took a deep breath. She barely felt any fluctuations of might, yet the eternal fine gold had been pierced through; this was a manifestation of power being completely restrained.

In other words, Lin Yuan had not yet used his full strength.

Once he unleashed a full-powered attack, it would be difficult to restrain all his might so perfectly.

"Your internal Universe has already reached the level of the fifth layer of the Infinite Void—no, it should be close to the sixth layer. Your strength has completely stepped into the Invincible Great Saint Domain."

The Red-Clothed Girl said hurriedly, while looking at the pierced eternal fine gold with some heartache.

The eternal fine gold was left behind by the founder of the Infinite Void; every bit used was a bit less. Usually, the Red-Clothed Girl would take out at most a piece one or two meters in size. If Lin Yuan's strength weren't so terrifying, she wouldn't have taken out such a large piece at all.

"Invincible Great Saint?"

Lin Yuan's heart settled.

At the same time, he thought of Your Majesty Xuan Huang and the Moyu Tower Master.

Ever since his Home Universe was incomparably weak, he had known these two peerless Experts, and now he had finally reached the level of strength they possessed.

Of course, Your Majesty Xuan Huang ultimately broke free from the time loop by force, and his strength already exceeded the Twelfth Order limit, falling outside the range of normal levels.

"What do you plan to do next?"

The Red-Clothed Girl took back the eternal fine gold and asked with considerable curiosity.

"First, finish cultivating the third layer of the Infinite Void."

Lin Yuan said. He had been cultivating the third layer for a long time. Evolving the Chaotic Taiji Path and completing the ultimate transformation of his internal Universe had also greatly promoted the cultivation of this Thirteenth Order Legacy.

"The third layer of the Infinite Void?"

The Red-Clothed Girl stared fixedly at Lin Yuan, suddenly realizing that this inheritor had not yet mastered the third layer of the Infinite Void.

Without mastering the third layer, he already possessed such strength. Once he mastered the third layer, what layer would he be comparable to? The sixth layer?

After chatting a few more words with the Red-Clothed Girl,

Lin Yuan set about cultivating the third layer of the Infinite Void with all his might.

The cultivation of this Thirteenth Order Legacy was essentially the modification and reorganization of the microscopic particles in his internal Universe. Under the control of the Chaotic Taiji Path, this modification and reorganization became much easier.

Coupled with the fact that Lin Yuan had already cultivated the third layer of the Infinite Void to more than half,

Therefore,

In just a year or two,

Lin Yuan's internal Universe ushered in another transformation.

At the infinite microscopic level, the structure of the internal Universe was becoming increasingly complete and perfect.

"The third layer is complete."

Lin Yuan opened his eyes, overlooking his vast internal Universe.

Not to mention how stable the spacetime Dao rules of this Universe were, just looking at its diameter, after experiencing two consecutive transformations—first evolving the Chaotic Taiji Path, and then mastering the third layer of the Infinite Void—

Lin Yuan's internal Universe had reached five million trillion light-years.

Five million trillion light-years far exceeded the natural Universes nurtured by the Chaos Void; even among Peerless Great Saints, having an internal Universe of this size was extremely rare.

This was still under the premise that Lin Yuan's internal Universe was not specialized in size and area.

"My current strength, estimated among Invincible Great Saints, should also be considered strong?"

Lin Yuan thought to himself. The Chaos Void was not like the Origin World; the Invincible Great Saints here were isolated and could not be directly compared.

"Continue cultivating."

Lin Yuan took out the Thirteenth Order weapon, the Heavenly Void Cauldron, comprehending the endless rules and Dao contained within it. At the same time, his Physical Body, Soul, and internal Universe continued to improve until they reached their growth limit.

By then, it would be the time for Lin Yuan to step into the Chaos Realm.

Origin World.

Within the treasured land.

Lin Yuan opened his eyes, simultaneously feeling his skyrocketing strength.

Evolving the path of chaotic power and mastering the third layer of the Infinite Void also brought a huge boost to the true body in this Origin World.

"The spacetime suppression within this treasured land can no longer restrict me."

Lin Yuan observed the surrounding spacetime.

A newly born treasured land, connected to the Origin World's Origin, would generate extremely strong spacetime suppression. This suppression not only drastically reduced the detection range of Heavenly Venerable level Experts, but also plummeted the distance of spacetime shuttle.

For a top Peak Heavenly Venerable to cross the entire treasured land purely relying on their own strength would take quite a bit of time. Only the strongest Celestials like Celestial Venerable Fu Xu could cross the treasured land within a single breath.

But now,

Lin Yuan had already perceived that the spacetime suppression of this treasured land could not hold him down. In other words, Lin Yuan could also do what Celestial Venerable Fu Xu did: cross the entire treasured land within a single breath.

Or even faster.

"Celestial Venerable Fu Xu?"

Lin Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, looking in one direction.

That was the location where the first Giant Core Heavenly Pillar was born. At that time, Lin Yuan happened to be right next to it, holding the opportunity to refine the Giant Core Heavenly Pillar first.

However, this opportunity was taken away by Celestial Venerable Fu Xu, who arrived later.

At that time, in front of Celestial Venerable Fu Xu, Lin Yuan didn't even have the ability to resist; he was directly slapped flying.

Blazing Sun Capital, independent space.

"Everyone, next we will have to compete head-on for the Core Heavenly Pillars with Experts from other Ancient Kingdoms."

Chiyan Celestial said with a solemn expression.

Having entered the treasured land for over a thousand years, the ownerless Core Heavenly Pillars had basically been refined by Experts from various Ancient Kingdoms.

Now, wanting to continue refining more Core Heavenly Pillars meant snatching those already-refined Core Heavenly Pillars from the hands of other Ancient Kingdoms.

"Good."

"No problem."

"Chiyan, who do you plan to strike first?"

The various Peak Heavenly Venerables nodded. They had long been prepared. The first thousand years of entering the treasured land? That was just a warm-up, and competition among Ancient Kingdom Experts was just a friendly contest ending before real harm was done.

The five hundred years after the thousand years would see the intensity of the competition escalate rapidly, and the final five hundred years would be the most intense period of contention. By then, top Peak Heavenly Venerables would go all out, and all kinds of foundational ultimate weapons of the Ancient Kingdoms would be unleashed.

"Hmm."

Chiyan Celestial nodded, suddenly looking at Lin Yuan, and asked gently, "Milky Way, what do you think?"

As one of the only four top Peak Heavenly Venerables of the Blazing Sun Ancient Kingdom this time, Milky Way Heavenly Lord was still highly valued by Chiyan Celestial.

"What do I think?"

Lin Yuan was slightly stunned, and after pondering, said, "Can we wait a little longer?"

"Wait a little longer?"

Chiyan Celestial was puzzled.

The rest of the Peak Heavenly Venerables were also somewhat surprised.

Why wait a little longer?

"I plan to—"

Lin Yuan grinned and said, "Take back that Giant Core Heavenly Pillar!"

Giant Core Heavenly Pillar.

The Peak Heavenly Venerables of Da Fu Ancient Kingdom sat cross-legged.

The importance of the Giant Core Heavenly Pillar was too high. Even if it was refined by Celestial Venerable Fu Xu, other Experts from Da Fu Ancient Kingdom would still send a main combat Physical Body to guard it at all times in case of any variables.

"Hahahaha, in this treasured land contention, the Core Heavenly Pillars occupied and refined by our Da Fu Ancient Kingdom have reached seventy-two. Plus this Giant Core Heavenly Pillar, there are a total of eighty-two."

"We are nearly thirty ahead of the second-place Barbaric Ancient Kingdom."

The numerous Peak Heavenly Venerables of Da Fu Ancient Kingdom were very relaxed. Now, Da Fu Ancient Kingdom already held an absolute advantage. Even if the two subsequently born Giant Core Heavenly Pillars both fell into the hands of another Ancient Kingdom, in terms of the number of Core Heavenly Pillars refined and occupied, they still couldn't surpass Da Fu Ancient Kingdom.

Furthermore, the probability of two Giant Core Heavenly Pillars falling into the same Ancient Kingdom's hands was too low. Even Da Fu Ancient Kingdom wasn't certain, let alone other Ancient Kingdoms.

"It's all thanks to Celestial Venerable Fu Xu. If not for Celestial Venerable Fu Xu, this Giant Core Heavenly Pillar would probably have fallen into the hands of the Blazing Sun Ancient Kingdom."

"Indeed, that Milky Way Heavenly Lord of the Blazing Sun Ancient Kingdom was too lucky; the Giant Core Heavenly Pillar descended right beside him. If not for Celestial Venerable Fu Xu's peerless strength—"

"Tsk tsk, what's the use of being lucky? Wasn't he still slapped flying by Celestial Venerable Fu Xu?"

The Peak Heavenly Venerables of Da Fu Ancient Kingdom chatted casually. As the oldest Ancient Kingdom, when facing Experts of the same level from other Ancient Kingdoms, they all had a faint sense of condescending superiority, even when facing existences like Milky Way Heavenly Lord, who was the first to excavate the Ancestor Bloodline to the Heavenly Venerable level.

What of an Ancestor Bloodline at the Heavenly Venerable level?

Right at this moment—

A young man appeared near this Giant Core Heavenly Pillar.

Faintly emerging between the brows of this young man was a Taiji diagram mark interlaced with black and white, and the black and white Qi slowly rotated, appearing just like that in plain sight within the field of vision of all the guarding Peak Heavenly Venerables of Da Fu Ancient Kingdom.

He stood there quietly, without any words or actions.

Yet it made the minds of the many Da Fu Ancient Kingdom Peak Heavenly Venerables tremble. Regardless of their strength—whether top Peak Heavenly Venerables or ordinary Peak Heavenly Venerables—their states of mind became unstable and they felt suffocated.
