Chapter 703: Weighing the Demon God

Second Source World.

In the Central Heaven, four or five towering Source Demons were fleeing, swept by incomparably dark and profound Devilish Qi.

As Source Demons second only to Demon Gods, since the descent of the Demon Disaster, such a pathetic scene had never appeared before, let alone four or five Source Demons together?

Even when facing a Legacy-backed strike from an Eternal Sect, the many Source Demons would only choose to temporarily avoid the sharp edge and actively retreat. As for fleeing in panic?

Swish, swish.

At this very moment.

Above the four or five Source Demons, a young man silently appeared.

"Where can you escape to?"

Lin Yuan overlooked the four or five Source Demons.

With a reach of his hand.

Space and time were scooped up.

The four or five Source Demons appeared in Lin Yuan's palm like four or five ants.

Immediately afterwards, they were instantly crushed hundreds of millions of times by the Yin and Yang Great Millstone, turning into the purest Qi and surging into the most microscopic particle worlds within Lin Yuan's body.

The pure Qi transformed from the four or five Source Demons could be described as massive. In an instant, over trillions of particle worlds were opened up, and Lin Yuan's Qi invisibly rose by a notch.

"Now the Source Demons in the Central Heaven have all gone into hiding, making them hard to catch."

After smoothly refining the four or five Source Demons, Lin Yuan sighed inwardly.

Ten thousand years ago, Lin Yuan reached an agreement with the Eternal Sect forces, promising to help them deal with the Source Demons.

Since then, Lin Yuan began hunting those Source Demons from the border regions of heaven and earth.

In this Origin World, most of the Source Demons gathered in the Central Heaven, but a small portion of Source Demons were located in the four directions of heaven and earth.

Lin Yuan's initial target was these Source Demons located in the four directions of heaven and earth.

Nine thousand years ago.

The Source Demons in the four directions of heaven and earth were hunted to extinction by Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan's target then naturally turned towards the Central Heaven.

Over ninety percent of the Source Demons gathered there.

Moreover, compared to the Source Demons scattered in the four directions, the Source Demons in the Central Heaven—not to mention finding a whole group upon discovery—at least had a much higher encounter frequency.

Eight thousand years ago, thirty percent of the Source Demons in the Central Heaven were hunted by Lin Yuan, and these Source Demons also realized something was wrong.

Although Source Demons lacked conscious thought, they possessed instincts. After noticing a drastic decrease in the number of companions, some Source Demons began to hide.

Until now.

In the Central Heaven, apart from endless Devilish Qi, the figures of the terrifyingly auraed Source Demons were basically nowhere to be seen; they had all hidden themselves away.

Source Demons originated from Devilish Qi, and Devilish Qi filled the world. Once a Source Demon wholeheartedly hid within the Devilish Qi, even Lin Yuan had no way to lock onto and discover them on a large scale.

He could only investigate little by little.

"In ten thousand years of hunting, the particle worlds I have opened up already occupy ninety-nine percent of my entire body."

Feeling the vast and mighty Qi within his body, Lin Yuan couldn't help but nod in satisfaction.

The Physical Body contained infinite Ganges-sand particles. To open up a world within every single particle meant needing to open up an infinite Ganges-sand number of particle worlds.

What is meant by Ganges-sand? It means endless.

Infinite Ganges-sand particle worlds meant endless particle worlds.

These particle worlds were maintained in operation by runes, while cultivating the Infinite Void Legacy.

It could be said that every single particle world was comparable to the internal Universe of a Peerless Great Saint.

"Among the three true physical bodies of the Chaos Void, the First Source World, and the Second Source World, the strongest is definitely this one."

Lin Yuan thought silently in his heart.

Purely in terms of strength, even if the true Physical Body of the Chaos Void and the true Physical Body of the First Source World were combined and enhanced by dozens of times, they still couldn't compare to the true Physical Body of the Second Source World.

Lin Yuan, who was close to finishing opening up the infinite Ganges-sand particle worlds, felt that he even had the ability to shake head-on a Thirteenth Order Time Lifeform.

"So far, no major problems have occurred in opening up the particle worlds. Once they are completely opened up, I can popularize it to the other two true physical bodies."

Lin Yuan thought to himself.

Opening up a world from a particle, one or two was very simple, but opening up to infinite Ganges-sand particle worlds? In case of any mistake, the consequence would be the collapse of the true Physical Body.

Therefore, Lin Yuan was currently only trying it on the third true Physical Body.

Only after this true Physical Body completely walked this path and confirmed that there were no hidden dangers or questions would he popularize it on the other two true physical bodies.

As for whether it would waste time?

Lin Yuan, who had already opened up the infinite Ganges-sand particle worlds once, wouldn't spend much time opening them up again.

Currently limiting Lin Yuan's speed in opening up particle worlds was resources.

Now, in the Chaos Void and the First Source World, the two true physical bodies were already collecting a large amount of resources. As long as the third true Physical Body succeeded, he could complete the opening of the infinite Ganges-sand particle worlds on the other two true physical bodies in a short time.

"In ten thousand years of time, besides constantly hunting Source Demons, I have comprehended the rune legacies of all Eternal Sects and absorbed and digested the Daos walked by those Eternal Lords; otherwise, it would have been impossible to open up the particle worlds so quickly."

Lin Yuan nodded slightly. The operation of the infinite Ganges-sand particle worlds within his body required the maintenance of the rune Dao.

The more particle worlds opened up, the higher his Comprehension Ability of the rune Dao had to be. Otherwise, based on Lin Yuan's rune comprehension from ten thousand years ago, it would be entirely impossible to maintain the current ninety-nine percent of infinite Ganges-sand particle worlds.

"Runes."

Lin Yuan thought of the Legacy created by the Lord of Heavenly Light.

This Legacy was helpful for making a Breakthrough to the Thirteenth Order, and had a total of five levels.

Ten thousand years ago, Lin Yuan had already cultivated to the fourth level.

Now, ten thousand years had passed, and Lin Yuan had long since stepped into the fifth level.

However, the fifth level was exceptionally profound, basically equivalent to the Lord of Heavenly Light's most essential understanding of runes.

Even for Lin Yuan, he had not yet completely comprehended it thoroughly.

If it could be said that what was seen and felt in the fourth level were all runes and could all be used by oneself,

then the fifth level of this Legacy was that runes formed upon a single thought.

In short, practitioners who comprehended this level had a mastery of runes that was no longer limited to tangible or intangible forms.

As long as a thought arose, runes could be gathered.

"No wonder the Lord of Heavenly Light was confident that as long as one thoroughly comprehended this Legacy, the hope of becoming an Eternal Lord would increase by a lot. Looking at it now, how is it just increasing by a lot?"

Lin Yuan shook his head slightly.

Runes forming upon a single thought—even placed within a time loop, one could easily mobilize the power of runes, equivalent to acquiring a machine gun with infinite bullets in the Stone Age.

"It's just that for lifeforms below the Thirteenth Order, thoroughly comprehending this Legacy is too difficult, far too difficult."

Lin Yuan shook his head slightly.

Even among Eternal Lords, most were trapped at the fourth level.

Lin Yuan gathered all rune legacies of this Origin World into himself, coupled with Heaven-Defying Comprehension, and after spending ten thousand years, he still hadn't completely comprehended the fifth level. One could imagine that for other lifeforms below the Eternal Lords, comprehending this Legacy was harder than becoming an Eternal Lord.

A large portion of Eternal Lords had not completely comprehended this Legacy.

"However, I am also close to it."

Lin Yuan reined in his thoughts, then took a step and disappeared in place.

Hidden World.

Lin Yuan's figure appeared.

The Hidden World was originally a lair jointly established by the various Eternal Sect forces, and it was also where the final retreat lay.

However, along with Lin Yuan's continuous hunting of Source Demons, which caused the number of Source Demons in the Central Heaven to plummet, the Hidden World no longer needed to resist Source Demons.

Now the Hidden World had begun to open up to the outside world, and many Disciples of the Eternal Sects had started exploring various places in the outside world.

"Lord Galaxy."

The Sect Leader of the Eternal Immeasurable Sect and others immediately bowed respectfully to Lin Yuan.

Ten thousand years ago, when Lin Yuan displayed the might of a single sword,

the Sect Masters of several Eternal Sects realized that the pressure they would face in the future might decrease a lot.

What none of the Sect's upper echelon expected was that in a mere ten thousand years, the situation between practitioners and 'demons' in the Central Heaven would completely reverse.

Ten thousand years ago, the Source Demons would attack the Hidden World every once in a while.

And ten thousand years later, not a single Source Demon could be seen in the Central Heaven.

Whenever a Source Demon appeared, in less than a moment Lin Yuan would rush over to suppress it.

Because of Lin Yuan.

The current few Eternal Sects actually felt an unprecedented sense of ease.

If it weren't for the endless Devilish Qi still filling the outside world, they would have even thought they had returned to the period before the great upheaval of heaven and earth.

"Lord Galaxy, that wave of Devilish Qi detected by the Eternal Treasure—" the Sect Leader of the Eternal Immeasurable Sect asked tentatively.

"It was indeed a few Source Demons; they have all been dealt with."

Lin Yuan nodded.

He was able to precisely lock onto the location of the four or five Source Demons hunted just now mainly by relying on the Eternal Treasure specially used by the Eternal Sect to observe the four directions of heaven and earth.

This was also specially refined by Eternal Lords before the great upheaval of heaven and earth, capable of detecting subtle fluctuations of Devilish Qi.

Originally, this type of Eternal Treasure was used to defend against the attacks of those Source Demons. When Source Demons gathered, it would inevitably cause fluctuations in Devilish Qi, and detecting them through the Eternal Treasure was equivalent to having precautions in place.

Yet ever since Lin Yuan started hunting Source Demons, these Eternal Treasures used as defensive countermeasures were instead used for hunting down Source Demons.

"Are there any other special Devilish Qi fluctuations?"

Lin Yuan took the initiative to ask. Now he had already opened up ninety-nine percent of the infinite Ganges-sand particle worlds, and was only short of the very last bit to completely finish opening them up.

"Temporarily none."

The Sect Leader of the Eternal Immeasurable Sect had a complex tone.

The boundlessly terrifying Source Demons, in Lin Yuan's mouth, seemed to have become little chicks.

"However, there is one more matter that needs to be told to Lord Galaxy."

The Sect Leader of the Eternal Immeasurable Sect said with a solemn tone, "Recently, the Eternal Treasure has observed that all the Devilish Qi in this heaven and earth is gathering with a certain fluctuation."

Even Source Demons could at most draw upon a portion of Devilish Qi.

And all Devilish Qi gathering and fluctuating?

"You mean a Demon God?"

Lin Yuan's tone was calm.

"Mm."

"Demon Gods are mostly asleep. It's just that due to Lord Galaxy's hunting, which caused a drastic reduction in the number of Source Demons, it might have already alarmed a Demon God—"

The Sect Leader of the Eternal Immeasurable Sect had a solemn expression.

Since the great upheaval of heaven and earth, a Demon God had only made a move once.

That was right at the beginning of the great upheaval. Ever since then, the Demon God was either sleeping, or occasionally waking up to overlook the several major Eternal Sects, and then continuing to sleep.

"Mm."

"I know."

Lin Yuan nodded.

Hunting Source Demons and disturbing a Demon God was an unavoidable matter.

Even if Lin Yuan slowed down the speed of hunting Source Demons, as long as the number of Source Demons dropped to a certain extent, it would still attract the gaze of a Demon God.

Lin Yuan carried his hands behind his back, his gaze passing through the Hidden World, looking towards the mighty Devilish Qi in the Central Heaven.

His expression faintly revealed anticipation.

To weigh up the might of a Thirteenth Order Demon God with the infinite Ganges-sand particle worlds.
