Chapter 690: Dao Creation Yin and Yang
The trial space shook, and countless runes rapidly condensed.
Unprecedented auras intertwined, and large swathes of space-time and Devilish Qi were annihilating.
Yet it was still struggling to resist.
"What happened?"
Inside the space, the expression of the Golden Figure changed drastically.
As the 'spirit' of the trial space, it knew very well the pressure the entire trial space was facing at this moment.
It was on the verge of collapsing.
It could collapse at any time.
But how could this be?
The trial space was created by the great Lord of Wu Mountain.
As an Eternal Lord, the space he created, even if done casually,
could not be shaken by lifeforms at the level of the Three Realms of Leisure.
This was a gap in 'quality'.
"Source Demon?"
"A group of Source Demons?"
The Golden Figure could only associate this in the direction of Source Demons, speculating that it might be a siege by a group of Source Demons.
But in a flash of thought, it negated this possibility; Source Demons were indeed very strong, surpassing the Eternal Child.
Yet wanting to shake this trial space? The strength of Source Demons originated from the source of the Demon Disaster, belonging to an innate strength.
And given the secrecy of this trial space and the space-time essence it involved, Source Demons simply could not find it.
Even if they could find it, it was impossible to shake it.
As for Demon Gods?
Demon Gods needed to suppress those few Eternal Sects in the Central Heaven.
They simply had no energy, nor any need, to come over and destroy this trial space.
You must know that since the Lord of Wu Mountain saw the advent of the 'Demon' disaster in advance, the trial spaces he created were naturally far more than just this one.
Lin Yuan had only explored for a few hundred to a thousand years before discovering this trial space.
There was indeed an element of luck, but it wasn't entirely due to luck; rather, the number of trial spaces was truly quite substantial.
Aside from the Lord of Wu Mountain, other Eternal Lords also had their own arrangements.
The essence of the trial space was a 'transit' space leading to the ultimate Legacy destination left behind by the Lord of Wu Mountain.
There were many such 'transit' spaces in this Origin World, and the purpose was to screen practitioners who met the trial threshold as much as possible.
Destroying one 'transit' space had almost no impact on the arrangements of the Lord of Wu Mountain.
Because the Legacy was still there, and other 'transit' trial spaces were also still there.
Therefore.
Even if the Demon Gods abandoned the Eternal Sects in the Central Heaven, they would not deliberately come to destroy this trial space.
"As expected of a space created by an Eternal Lord."
Compared to the panic of the Golden Figure, Lin Yuan was somewhat amazed.
His true Physical Body used this Solar Nascent Soul as a 'dao marker' and wanted to directly descend, but was blocked by the boundless runes outside the trial space.
Actually, it couldn't be said to be blocked.
If Lin Yuan's true body really intended to forcefully squeeze in, he could indeed do it.
However, the consequence would be the complete collapse of this trial space.
This did not match Lin Yuan's purpose.
His true Physical Body coming in person was to obtain the Legacy left by the Lord of Wu Mountain,
instead of destroying this trial space.
"The energy fluctuations involved in this trial space are around the Third Realm of Leisure, probably casually created by the Lord of Wu Mountain, yet it can reach this degree?"
Lin Yuan thought to himself.
His true Physical Body was countless times stronger than the Third Realm of Leisure,
yet it was still unable to smoothly squeeze in.
One could imagine that the rule operation involved in the trial space itself was extremely high.
"Runes?"
Lin Yuan glanced at the countless runes surrounding the trial space. Each rune looked small in power individually, but gathered together, they erupted with might surpassing themselves by ten thousand, one hundred thousand, or a million times.
"Lord of Wu Mountain."
Lin Yuan grew even more expectant toward the Legacy left by this Eternal Lord.
"Little fellow, this trial space probably cannot be preserved."
The Golden Figure turned to look at Lin Yuan and said with a solemn expression, "While you still have the ability now, immediately annihilate this Physical Body of yours."
Although the Golden Figure did not believe that Source Demons could lock onto this trial space,
right now it could only make the worst plans.
And being killed by a demon, even if it was just a Clone being killed,
the mental will would also be eroded by Devilish Qi, and all remaining true bodies would perish.
Therefore, facing an unstoppable demon, the best method was to directly annihilate the Physical Body to avoid contact with the demon.
This was also the reason why the Golden Figure asked Lin Yuan to actively annihilate his Physical Body.
At least he could still survive.
"Annihilate the Physical Body?"
Lin Yuan looked at the Golden Figure.
"Rest assured, if this trial space is destroyed, there are other trial spaces. Going straight in this direction, you will find the next trial space."
The Golden Figure spoke.
The Lord of Wu Mountain had opened up many trial spaces; even if one collapsed, it would not affect the overall arrangement.
With Lin Yuan's Aptitude and talent, there was a faint hope of transcending the Space-Time Fusion Rule and passing the trials left by the Lord of Wu Mountain, making him the hope among the practitioners of this world.
Naturally, the Golden Figure wanted to protect such a sapling.
"Senior, you have misunderstood."
Lin Yuan immediately reacted, realizing that the commotion of his true Physical Body's descent had caused the 'spirit' of the trial space before him to feel a sense of crisis, thinking that a powerful Source Demon was attacking.
"Misunderstood?"
The Golden Figure looked at Lin Yuan.
At this moment, it also realized something was amiss.
The shaking of the trial space was not only perceptible to it, but Lin Yuan, as the challenger, could also feel it,
yet there was no shock, panic, or other expressions on his face.
"It is my true Physical Body that has arrived."
Lin Yuan said, "My true Physical Body intends to descend directly, saving Senior the trouble of moving back and forth."
As soon as these words were spoken,
the Golden Figure instantly fell into silence.
The one who shook the trial space just now and made it precarious was not a 'demon', but the Lin Yuan in front of it?
A practitioner?
The Golden Figure didn't react for a moment.
A practitioner… could be this powerful?
"If Senior doesn't believe it, my true Physical Body is right outside."
Lin Yuan said immediately.
Forcefully descending would cause the trial space to collapse.
Therefore, Lin Yuan still intended to enter through normal means.
"Wait a moment."
The Golden Figure steadied its mind.
Although Lin Yuan's words were preposterous, right now, as Lin Yuan finished speaking,
the commotion of the forceful squeeze from outside quickly calmed down.
This made the Golden Figure feel that what Lin Yuan said might be true?
The next moment,
the Golden Figure disappeared in place,
appearing above the external valley.
The Golden Figure looked around and found a young man standing quietly there.
The young man's appearance was identical to Lin Yuan inside the space, but their auras differed too much.
With the help of the trial space's perception power, the Golden Figure vaguely sensed the terror of the young man before it,
as if billions of vast worlds were gestating within his body.
"Senior."
Lin Yuan's true Physical Body looked at the Golden Figure and greeted it with a smile.
"You?"
The Golden Figure took a deep breath.
The moment it saw Lin Yuan's true Physical Body,
it knew that the Lin Yuan outside and the Lin Yuan inside the space belonged to the same lifeform, and the two were connected by Karma.
"Don't resist, I will take you in."
Thoughts turning thousands of times, the Golden Figure fell silent for a moment before finally speaking.
"Alright."
Lin Yuan nodded.
Hum.
A wave of space-time swept across.
Lin Yuan was directly moved into the trial space.
The Solar Nascent Soul glanced at the true Physical Body and melted into it as a stream of scorching power.
"How can it be so strong?"
The Golden Figure, on the other hand, was repeatedly observing Lin Yuan.
First of all, Lin Yuan was not a 'demon', but a normal practitioner.
Practitioners and 'demons' had significant differences, much like clear water and ink.
If a practitioner absorbed Devilish Qi, it was equivalent to falling into demonic corruption—that was like dropping ink into clear water, which was also very easy to distinguish.
And in the vision of the Golden Figure, Lin Yuan's aura was pure. Aside from being unfathomably heavy, it had no relation to 'demons' whatsoever.
This was also the reason why the Golden Figure brought Lin Yuan's true Physical Body into the trial space.
After realizing that the vibration and shaking of the trial space came from Lin Yuan's true Physical Body,
bringing Lin Yuan's true Physical Body in was to repeatedly confirm Lin Yuan's identity as a practitioner.
Otherwise, if it were a demon—such a powerful 'demon' smoothly entering the trial space—it would not be as simple as destroying a single trial space.
Rather, the Legacy of the Lord of Wu Mountain would be affected, and even this layout would directly fall through.
"Which Eternal Child are you?"
The Golden Figure was silent for a moment before finally unable to help asking.
The so-called Eternal Child was the strongest successor of the Eternal Sect forces, and also the object painstakingly cultivated by the Eternal Lord.
The strength of an Eternal Child approached the limit of the Three Realms of Leisure, and even some extremely prodigious Eternal Children had reached the limit of the Three Realms of Leisure, not weaker than the Experts in the first two giant paintings of this trial space.
"Eternal Child?"
"I am not an Eternal Child."
Lin Yuan looked at the Golden Figure and said.
There was no need to lie about this; Lin Yuan had not yet mastered any rune Dao Legacy of any Eternal Sect, nor could he disguise himself as an Eternal Child.
"Not an Eternal Child."
The Golden Figure did not feel surprised.
It had just asked casually a moment ago and didn't actually think Lin Yuan was an Eternal Child.
If an Eternal Sect had given birth to such a prodigious Eternal Child, how could he possibly appear outside this trial space?
The various Eternal Lords left behind successive arrangements to counter the situation after the advent of the 'Demon' disaster.
And as the direct lineage of an Eternal Lord within the Eternal Sect forces, there would certainly be more complete Legacies available for selection.
Even if it also encompassed the Legacy of the Lord of Wu Mountain, the trial space entered would not be here.
"Senior, I will go try again."
Lin Yuan looked at the Golden Figure and said immediately.
"Go ahead."
The Golden Figure nodded.
At the same time, anticipation welled up in its heart.
With the strength Lin Yuan had just displayed, the first two of the three giant paintings definitely could not stop him.
As for the third one? It probably couldn't stop him either, but the Expert in the third giant painting was modeled after the Lord of Heavenly Light, and was the most powerful and perfect one among all the lifeforms painted by the Lord of Wu Mountain.
It was just unknown how they compared in strength to the present Lin Yuan.
Indeed, what the Golden Figure looked forward to was whether the Expert in the third giant painting or Lin Yuan was stronger.
There was no longer any doubt about Lin Yuan passing the trial; even if the Experts in all three giant paintings came out together, it was impossible to stop Lin Yuan.
If even Lin Yuan could not pass the trial, then no practitioner in this world could pass it.
But being unable to stop him didn't mean they were weaker than Lin Yuan.
Ten million miles away from the entrance of the Central Heaven.
Lin Yuan stepped in once more.
However, compared to stepping in for the first time,
Lin Yuan at this moment was no longer the Solar Nascent Soul,
but his true Physical Body.
Swish.
The first giant painting was like flowing water, stirring up slight ripples.
The Golden-armored Youth strode out from within the picture.
"It's you again?"
The Golden-armored Youth glanced at Lin Yuan. "I said, right now you are far—"
Before the Golden-armored Youth finished speaking, his expression changed slightly.
Obviously, he also noticed that Lin Yuan now was different from the Lin Yuan just a moment ago.
"You—"
The Golden-armored Youth's eyes faintly bloomed with golden light as he carefully sized up Lin Yuan: "Interesting, I actually sensed danger from you?"
The Golden-armored Youth found it hard to believe. As a lifeform at the limit of the Three Realms of Leisure created by the Lord of Wu Mountain, the Golden-armored Youth had no shortcomings in any aspect, especially in combat where he could sense the slightest crisis.
"Now I am my true Physical Body."
Lin Yuan said, looking at the Golden-armored Youth: "Next, I will make a full-strength Move once."
In order to obtain the Legacy of the Lord of Wu Mountain as soon as possible, Lin Yuan had no intention of fighting three hundred rounds with the Experts inside the three giant paintings to comprehend the essence of their Move.
These three giant paintings were all painted by the Lord of Wu Mountain; obtaining the Legacy left by the Lord of Wu Mountain was far more efficient than contemplating the giant paintings.
"Come on."
There was not the slightest contempt on the Golden-armored Youth's face.
In an instant, boundless golden runes emerged from all directions, forming a huge barrier.
After sensing danger from Lin Yuan, the Golden-armored Youth had no intention of attacking proactively at all, taking full defense as his primary focus.
The significance of his existence was to block any challenger from approaching the central entrance.
As for taking the initiative to attack Lin Yuan earlier, it was merely because he felt the opponent did not pose a very big threat to life.
With no threat, the Golden-armored Youth felt Lin Yuan couldn't possibly cross him to approach the entrance, so he just attacked to play around.
Lin Yuan stepped through the void and stood quietly, watching the Golden-armored Youth who was acting as if facing a formidable enemy.
Right at this moment,
Lin Yuan raised his right hand, his five fingers clutching into the void, and a trace of snowy white light appeared in his palm, rapidly expanding and spreading to evolve into a slender sword light.
Lin Yuan's left hand was the same scene, except the snowy white sword light all turned into pitch-black sword light.
The pitch-black sword light and the snowy white sword light together formed a Yin-Yang Taiji diagram.
Immediately afterward, the Yin-Yang Taiji diagram transformed into a Yin-Yang Taiji sword.
Chaotic Yin-Yang Taiji did not only have the form of the Taiji diagram; rather, it could evolve everything within Lin Yuan's cognition.
It's just that usually the Chaotic Yin-Yang Taiji diagram excelled at suppression, which was why Lin Yuan used it most often, whereas the Chaotic Yin-Yang Taiji sword excelled at offense and attack.
Holding the Chaotic Yin-Yang Taiji sword, Lin Yuan gently slashed toward the Golden-armored Youth.
Dao creation and transformation of Yin and Yang.
Amidst a patch of Grandmist Chaos resembling the initial creation of heaven and earth, a flash of black and white sword light flickered and vanished.
The boundless golden runes fully condensed by the Golden-armored Youth were all severed.
Along with him, the Golden-armored Youth was slashed into two halves, his aura collapsing as he returned to the painting.
The black and white sword light continued to slash forward.
In the second giant painting, that incomparably charming woman walked out of the picture, only for a sword mark to appear vertically down the center of her brow. Her form disintegrated, and she returned to the giant painting.
The third giant painting.
"Who knows the awakening from the great dream; an eon passes in a single slumber."
The man in white stepped languidly out of the giant painting and said in a lazy tone, "You are the ninth challenger to reach my place."
Before the man in white finished speaking, he saw a heaven-opening sword light slashing towards him.
