Chapter 689: Wait a Moment

“Therefore, the Lord of Wu Mountain did not require the challengers to defeat them; that is simply impossible,”

said the Golden Figure.

Even those blessed Eternal Children would be suppressed and beaten when facing just one of the figures in these three giant paintings, let alone three?

Especially the last one, who was drawn by the Lord of Wu Mountain using the Lord of Heavenly Light as a prototype.

The Lord of Heavenly Light was not only the most powerful Eternal Lord of this world, but also the most mysterious Eternal Lord.

No one knew the past of the Lord of Heavenly Light; they only knew that when the Lord of Heavenly Light first appeared, he was already an Eternal Lord. Strictly speaking, the other Eternal Lords, including the Lord of Wu Mountain, had all received favors from the Lord of Heavenly Light.

Even The Dao of Runes was passed down by the Lord of Heavenly Light; the other Eternal Lords were not the creators of The Dao of Runes.

“Can I use any means?”

Lin Yuan thought for a moment and asked.

“Of course.”

“No matter what means you use, as long as it stems from your own strength, entering the entrance at the Central Heaven counts as passing the trial.”

The Golden Figure said, “There are no restrictions whatsoever.”

“Alright.”

Lin Yuan nodded slightly.

“You can listen to my advice, or you can choose not to,”

the Golden Figure added. In his view, Lin Yuan's only hope of passing the trial was to completely transcend the Space-Time Fusion Rule.

But this was merely a suggestion; the Golden Figure could not force Lin Yuan to follow it.

“Mm.”

Lin Yuan looked at the three giant paintings. “Can I give it a try now?”

“You can.”

The Golden Figure was not surprised.

Putting aside whether he could pass the obstruction, previous challengers would always try to fight the Experts in the giant paintings at the first opportunity.

After all, these three giant paintings were considered by the Lord of Wu Mountain to be the limit of the Three Realms of Leisure. Even if one was not their match, it was still an opportunity to witness them.

In any case, there would be no danger.

“Go ahead.”

The Golden Figure looked at Lin Yuan. “When you get within ten million miles of the entrance, the Expert from the first giant painting will step out. Within one million miles, the Expert from the second giant painting will step out. Within one hundred thousand miles, the Expert from the third giant painting will step out.”

Simply put, the closer you get to the entrance, the greater the obstruction. Especially within one hundred thousand miles of the entrance, the Experts from all three giant paintings will act to stop you.

“Alright.”

Lin Yuan immediately flew toward the Central Heaven.

The closer he got, the more he could feel the vast and incredible nature of the giant paintings.

“The Experts in these three giant paintings were all drawn by the Lord of Wu Mountain, meaning they were created out of thin air?” Lin Yuan was slightly amazed. At least, the Six Ancestors of the First Source World did not possess such means.

Of course, every Thirteenth Order lifeform excelled in different aspects. The Lord of Wu Mountain excelled in the Dao of Painting, which was essentially creation from the Void Realm.

As for offensive power, perhaps he was slightly inferior compared to other Eternal Lords?

Soon.

Lin Yuan arrived at a distance of ten million miles from the entrance.

Whoosh.

As the first giant painting unfurled, ripples suddenly rose across it, the surface of the painting resembling the surface of water.

The golden-armored youth seemed to come alive. His hands moved, and he took a direct step forward, walking out of the giant painting.

“You are the 3,635th challenger.”

The golden-armored youth looked lazily at Lin Yuan, shook his head, and said, “But it looks like you won't even be able to get past me.”

Only by reaching within one million miles of the entrance would the Expert in the second giant painting step out.

During this time, the golden-armored youth would prevent Lin Yuan from approaching.

“Let's try.”

Lin Yuan's expression turned slightly solemn. This was the first time he had encountered an Expert comparable to the Abyssal Dragon.

“Hahaha.”

The golden-armored youth burst into laughter. The aura around him suddenly began to skyrocket, and billions of runes began to emerge across every part of his golden armor, causing the surrounding space-time to solidify and compress.

“This kind of Dao of Runes?”

Lin Yuan observed closely. The golden-armored youth's application of The Dao of Runes absolutely surpassed any rune Legacy Lin Yuan had obtained. The terrifying aura nearly crushed space-time into a particle state.

“Suppress.”

The golden-armored youth raised his right hand and pressed it down toward Lin Yuan.

The surrounding space-time instantly transformed into individual runes, enveloping Lin Yuan in an instant. An ordinary Expert of the third realm of Leisure would be rendered completely immobile at this moment, then suppressed ruthlessly.

Indeed, an ordinary Expert of the third realm of Leisure did not even have the strength to block the golden-armored youth's first move, let alone break through.

“Explaining space-time through runes?”

A strange look flashed in Lin Yuan's eyes. He took a step back, easily dodging the golden-armored youth's grab.

For a thousand years, Lin Yuan had been constantly comprehending the operation of the First Source World's Origin. His Space-Time Fusion Rule was close to its limit. Even if there was no hope of entering the entrance, blocking this move from the golden-armored youth was more than enough.

“Hmm?”

The golden-armored youth was slightly startled, clearly not expecting Lin Yuan to be so 'slippery'.

“Your comprehension of space-time is not bad,” the golden-armored youth praised, then said calmly, “but it is still far from enough.”

Rumble…

In an instant, the surroundings were filled with golden runes.

The runes interwove and flowed, faintly forming a massive golden cage.

“This move?”

Lin Yuan's expression turned slightly solemn. Even with his own space-time comprehension, trying to break free from this golden cage would take quite some effort, and during that time, the golden-armored youth's next attack would have already landed.

Whoosh.

Lin Yuan directly transformed into an eternal blazing sun. As the Solar Nascent Soul, executing this type of killer move possessed immense power.

At the same time,

the Divine Ability 'World' instantly activated.

The golden cage began to shake, then shattered with a bang. In the next moment, the golden-armored youth's next strike blasted forward.

Without the restraint of the golden cage, Lin Yuan successfully integrated into space-time and dodged it.

“I have never seen this kind of method before?”

The golden-armored youth was slightly surprised. Since the descent of the Demon Disaster, over the long years, he had seen many challengers, but it was his first time seeing someone like Lin Yuan, who could Incarnate as a blazing sun and possess such an extremely domineering transformation and distortion of space-time.

“Interesting, very interesting.”

“But strength is the Foundation of everything.”

The golden-armored youth continued to attack, golden runes filling space-time.

From start to finish, ever since the golden-armored youth took action, Lin Yuan had been at a disadvantage.

Let alone breaking through, even holding his ground in front of the golden-armored youth was quite difficult.

“For this descent, all resources were prioritized for my true self. The Cultivation of my two great Primordial Spirits was indeed neglected.”

Lin Yuan thought to himself.

Whether it was the Taiyin Primordial Spirit or the Solar Nascent Soul, neither had opened up particle worlds, nor had they consumed much resources to Cultivate their Physical Body's internal Universe.

Although the Infinite Void had been kept up with, Cultivating this Legacy to the fifth layer only made one comparable to a normal Invincible Great Saint or Strongest Celestial Venerable.

Which is the third realm of Leisure in this Origin World.

As for the golden-armored youth, he was an existence that surpassed even the Eternal Children.

Under such circumstances, it was already quite rare for Lin Yuan's Solar Nascent Soul to hold out for so long against the golden-armored youth.

Under the full-force attacks of the golden-armored youth, Experts of the third realm of Leisure—namely, Invincible Great Saints and Strongest Celestial Venerables—simply could not hold out and would quickly be suppressed.

“Chaos Taiyang power.”

Lin Yuan transformed into a blazing sun once more. As the Solar Nascent Soul, he was pure Taiyang and could not draw upon the Taiyin Dao. Therefore, his path of Chaos evolution was not a perfect Chaos Taiji, but a singular Chaos Taiyang.

The blazing sun burned, incinerating heaven and earth. The space-time in all directions rapidly transformed, all becoming his domain.

For a time, even the space-time of golden runes invisibly emanated by the golden-armored youth was forced to recede.

“This move?”

The golden-armored youth rarely stopped his attacks. After observing closely for a moment, he nodded in praise. “Rare indeed. Although this kind of Chaos evolution path power is extreme, its might is truly immense.”

This Origin World used runes as a Foundation to perceive all things, while also comprehending Great Dao rules and the path of Chaos evolution power.

In the eyes of the golden-armored youth, even a singular Chaos Taiyang power was sufficiently stunning.

“With the path you walk, Cultivating to the limit should allow you to reach the level of an Eternal Child,” the golden-armored youth's tone gradually turned cold, “but you are still far from it now.”

“Go back and continue to Cultivate for hundreds of millions of years before coming back.”

With a wave of his hand, the golden-armored youth unleashed a vast sweep of endless golden runes, their grand power instantly crushing Lin Yuan's external Universe.

Boom!

Lin Yuan was instantly knocked back ten million miles, his aura only settling down after several breaths.

As Lin Yuan left the range of ten million miles, the golden-armored youth turned around and stepped back inside the giant painting.

The golden runes dissipated, and everything returned to normal.

Only Lin Yuan stood there, his expression lost in thought.

“Relying solely on a Solar Nascent Soul that hasn't been nurtured at all is indeed very difficult to pass the trial.”

Lin Yuan came to a conclusion. Just the golden-armored youth of the first giant painting could repel him, let alone the second and third giant paintings.

“How is it? How does it feel?”

The Golden Figure appeared beside him, a hint of amazement showing in his eyes as he looked at Lin Yuan.

In fact, the strength Lin Yuan displayed when fighting the golden-armored youth just now had already exceeded the Golden Figure's expectations, almost approaching the level of a normal Eternal Child.

“It's still better to follow my advice. Relying on frontal strength, you have no hope of passing the trial. Only by completely transcending the Space-Time Fusion Rule is it possible.”

said the Golden Figure.

In truth, completely transcending the Space-Time Rule was considered a clever shortcut to pass the trial. After all, without directly engaging the Experts in the three giant paintings, one would enter the entrance purely through a supreme comprehension of space-time.

But the Lord of Wu Mountain did not forbid this method, and the Golden Figure was merely suggesting the direction in which Lin Yuan was most likely to pass the trial.

“Completely transcending the Space-Time Fusion Rule comprehension is too slow.”

Lin Yuan spoke truthfully.

He indeed felt that this method was too slow.

He didn't know if it would take a thousand years or ten thousand years.

“Too slow?”

The Golden Figure was slightly stunned.

As long as there was hope, what did even trillions or quadrillions of years matter?

“I still have means that I haven't used yet.”

Lin Yuan looked at the Golden Figure and said, “Wait a moment.”

Deep within the Qingyun Institute on the Qingyun Sacred Mountain,

Lin Yuan opened his eyes, slowly stood up, and then took a step forward.

Space-time was instantly torn apart as his terrifying Physical Body strength and the vast aura of his internal Universe pierced through everything.

Outside the trial space, around that valley, runes lit up one after another, and space-time expanded as if resisting the intrusion of some incredible existence.

The entire trial space shook.

shaking uncontrollably.
