Chapter 748: Lin Yuan and Grey Ancestor

This time when making a move, Lin Yuan's mindset was extremely relaxed. With the blessing of Lords Authority, it was very difficult for Grey Ancestor, a Second Stage Time Lifeform, to peer into his traces and tracks.

Meanwhile, he watched Grey Ancestor's schemes and layouts from afar with detached indifference.

"This move will allow me to witness the methods of a true Second Stage Time Lifeform."

Lin Yuan looked forward to it quite a bit.

Although his foundation in all aspects was abundant and profound, he was ultimately a newcomer to the Thirteenth Order, no matter how many future timelines he had observed.

He still needed to engage in real combat.

Observing future timelines put Lin Yuan in an absolute 'God's Perspective'.

He could not directly feel the oppression brought by the enemy.

"This Grey Ancestor is quite suitable to act as my whetstone."

Lin Yuan thought to himself.

"Who are you?"

Grey Ancestor was also observing Lin Yuan with a solemn and grave expression.

He had not detected the scene of Lin Yuan's appearance within the future timelines he observed.

In other words, this suddenly appearing mysterious Time Lifeform surpassed even himself in terms of timeline concealment.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been completely unaware.

"Where on earth did this Expert pop out from?"

Grey Ancestor also felt it was tricky. If he hadn't confirmed that Lin Yuan's timeline had yet to be sealed off, the other party would at most be just like him—a Second Stage Time Lifeform.

At this moment, he didn't dare continue standing here.

Facing a Time Lifeform of the same Realm, Grey Ancestor still had some confidence.

Compared to the confrontation between Lin Yuan and Grey Ancestor.

The various Time Lifeform watching from afar felt stormy waves churning in their hearts.

"This, this, this—"

"What is going on? Who on earth are those two?"

"I haven't seen these two from the future timelines."

"Second Stage Time Lifeform, these two have a high probability of being Second Stage Time Lifeform."

"How is this possible? A mere tianhe heart actually attracted two Second Stage Time Lifeform?"

The numerous watching Time Lifeform communicated rapidly. If Lin Yuan and Grey Ancestor did not show themselves, they might have continued to be kept in the dark.

But since they had appeared, the many blurred and distorted timelines gradually became clear.

Coupled with the various Time Lifeform perceiving the difficulty of directly viewing the timelines of Lin Yuan and Grey Ancestor.

They immediately deduced a lot.

"The tianhe heart gestated this time is extraordinary."

"I have already contacted the 'Mother of Snail Realm'."

The 'Mother of Snail Realm' was one of the Second Stage Time Lifeform in this vast dimensional gap region.

Many Time Lifeform of the Heavenly River Dimension had good relations with the 'Mother of Snail Realm'. Seeing two unfamiliar Second Stage Time Lifeform appear at this moment, they definitely notified the 'Mother of Snail Realm' at the first instance.

"The Mother of Snail Realm said she has already noticed this place and told us not to approach."

A Time Lifeform said.

Other Time Lifeform nodded.

Facing the confrontation between the suspected two Second Stage Time Lifeform, they would not approach at all to try any scavenging methods.

The Second Stage Time Lifeform's grasp and peeping into future timelines could suppress these First Realm Time Lifeform.

Just as many thoughts had just surfaced in their minds, the Second Stage Time Lifeform had already perceived the specific future.

At that time, the two Second Stage Time Lifeform would very likely pause their confrontation and instead attack them to clear the field.

"Fortunately, Galaxy appeared in time."

Mo Xu Lord's heart settled. Even with the runic jade that could suppress Tai Xu Master.

But facing a Second Stage Time Lifeform, defeat and death were only a matter of time, which did not hold much meaning.

Just now when Grey Ancestor appeared, the aura displayed had already faintly suppressed the runic jade domain; this was the proof.

"Galaxy."

Mo Xu Lord looked at Lin Yuan beside him. In the Chaos Void, he couldn't feel it.

It was just that here, in order to contend against Grey Ancestor, Lin Yuan actively revealed a trace of his aura. Even without targeting him, Mo Xu Lord still bore immense pressure.

Placed in the eyes of other Time Lifeform, this pressure might be nothing; after all, the Second Stage was inherently much stronger than the First Realm.

But Mo Xu Lord knew that Lin Yuan had only just stepped into the Thirteenth Order not long ago. How long had passed, and his strength had already improved to this extent?

The pressure stemmed not only from the Physical Body and Soul, but also from the level of mind and thinking, as well as shock.

"The Chaos Void also found a Second Stage Time Lifeform?"

Tai Xu Master looked at Lin Yuan standing beside Mo Xu Lord, his expression revealing astonishment.

"Did they deliberately not tell me, or…"

Tai Xu Master glanced at Grey Ancestor, who was draped in a grey robe.

If he had known earlier that contending for the tianhe heart this time required facing a Second Stage Time Lifeform.

He would definitely not have agreed so easily to the transaction with Grey Ancestor.

Making an enemy of a First Realm Time Lifeform versus making an enemy of a Second Stage Time Lifeform.

Were completely different matters.

The price that needed to be paid for the latter far exceeded the former.

Even if this Second Stage Time Lifeform couldn't defeat Grey Ancestor.

But could he not deal with Grey Ancestor, yet couldn't deal with a group of First Realm Time Lifeform like them?

Even with the protection of the Great Void Dimension, preserving their lives wasn't much of a problem.

But with a Second Stage Time Lifeform plotting in secret, these Time Lifeform of the Great Void Dimension probably wouldn't dare enter the dimensional gap ever again.

Grey Ancestor looked at Lin Yuan from afar and spoke: "Your Excellency's methods of concealing your own timeline are quite formidable. Did you rely on some secret method Legacy, or external rare treasures?"

Not being a Time Lord, yet concealing one's own timeline to this extent.

Grey Ancestor naturally thought that Lin Yuan had relied on external forces.

The vast dimensional gap gave birth to and gestated countless rare treasures, among which were treasures that had the effect of concealing one's own timeline.

Of course, the value of this kind of treasure was extremely high, basically equivalent to the most precious category below Lords.

In addition, some secret method Legacies could also achieve similar effects.

Fights between Time Lifeform mainly relied on observing each other's timelines.

If one party's timeline could not be observed, or was very difficult to observe.

Then the advantages and disadvantages would be very obvious.

"However, I cannot observe your timeline, and you probably cannot observe much of mine either."

Grey Ancestor had a confident expression. As a veteran Second Stage Time Lifeform, he had also Cultivated some secret method Legacies that concealed his own timeline.

Lin Yuan did not speak.

Under the perspective of Lords Authority, the secret method Legacies that Grey Ancestor Cultivated to conceal his own timeline were practically non-existent.

"It's very hard to kill."

Lin Yuan observed timeline after timeline, gaining an understanding of Grey Ancestor's methods, and found that he couldn't kill the other party.

Even if he paid a huge price to leave behind this Physical Body, Grey Ancestor could still resurrect through life-preserving methods, and it couldn't even be considered 'resurrection' because it wasn't true death.

"I still have to rely on my true body to be certain."

Lin Yuan thought to himself. After stepping into the Thirteenth Order, the strength of the Taiji Primordial Spirit greatly increased, narrowing the gap with the true body. But when it came to true combat power, the true body was naturally the strongest.

Therefore, for the sake of caution, not long after the Taiji Primordial Spirit arrived, his true body also set off and came nearby.

"Your Excellency's target is also this tianhe heart? In that case, defeat me, and you can take the tianhe heart away."

Grey Ancestor was naturally unwilling to give up the tianhe heart.

He had traded with the many Time Lifeform of the Great Void Dimension, patiently waited for the tianhe heart to gestate, and had already paid the 'cost'.

Just a Second Stage Time Lifeform intervening was not enough to make him voluntarily give up.

"Endless Gloom!"

Grey Ancestor's thoughts slightly stirred. With himself as the center, layers of gloom began to spread and expand, covering and enveloping Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan didn't hesitate too much either, similarly unfolding his own domain.

Through the observation of future timelines, he knew that if he held back, he would definitely suffer.

The mere preliminary collision of the two massive auras produced a violent impact on the entire Heavenly River Dimension. Time and space continuously rose like waves, and the operation of the Origin Dao of the Heavenly River Dimension retreated rapidly.

"Let's go to the dimensional gap."

Lin Yuan glanced around, and his figure immediately headed outside the Heavenly River Dimension.

The combat between two Second Stage Time Lifeform levels was somewhat unbearable even for top dimensional spaces like the Heavenly River Dimension.

Grey Ancestor had no objections to this.

It wasn't out of mercy, but rather because the tianhe heart he wanted was also within the Heavenly River Dimension.

If his slaughter with Lin Yuan affected the final gestation of the tianhe heart.

That would not align with Grey Ancestor's interests.

If even the tianhe heart was gone, why would he bother fighting and slaughtering Lin Yuan here?

Rumble.

In a split second, the battlefield shifted from within the Heavenly River Dimension to the vast dimensional gap.

This caused the many Time Lifeform watching from afar to breathe a slight sigh of relief. After all, the Heavenly River Dimension was their territory, so naturally they wouldn't want any damage to occur.

The dimensional gap was vast and boundless.

The two massive auras continuously collided, and the scattered aftermath swept in all directions.

"Ever since I comprehended the Chaos Origin Gloom Dao, I haven't gone all out many times." Grey Ancestor's eyes were completely gloomy, as if connecting two bottomless abysses. "Come on, let me see your strength."

"Chaos Origin Gloom Dao?" Lin Yuan's expression was solemn. This Origin Dao was extremely special; in many future timelines, he had been suppressed by this Origin Dao multiple times.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Two completely different auras continuously collided, and the resulting aftermath annihilated all matter and illusion, bringing even the stagnant dimensional gap to 'boil'.

"Is this the combat power of a Second Stage Time Lifeform?"

"Too terrifying. If I got a little closer, the aftermath would probably injure me."

The observing Time Lifeform steadied their minds. Slaughter between two Second Stage Time Lifeform was not common at all.

Normally, Second Stage Time Lifeform rarely made a move. For instance, this time Grey Ancestor plotted for the tianhe heart; if Lin Yuan hadn't intervened, he probably would have acquired the tianhe heart silently.

"Hopefully Grey Ancestor can win."

Tai Xu Master was also paying close attention to the battlefield. Now that he had already offended Lin Yuan, he naturally hoped that Grey Ancestor could smoothly repel the latter.

Grey Ancestor obtaining the tianhe heart would complete the transaction between him and the Great Void Dimension, and the final benefits would also smoothly fall into his hands.

With the help of that benefit, Tai Xu Master's strength would increase by a notch, which could also be considered increasing a little bit of confidence when facing a Second Stage Time Lifeform.

"As expected of an Origin Dao." Lin Yuan felt the endless gloomy aura emitted by Grey Ancestor, which was the fundamental embodiment of the Chaos Origin Gloom Dao. Facing ordinary First Realm Time Lifeform, it was a complete sweep.

It was only because Lin Yuan relied on his own accumulated foundation without comprehending a Chaos Origin Dao that he managed to resist until now.

"Hmm?"

Lin Yuan looked at the surrounding world.

The gloomy aura pierced through time and space, forming a cage that suppressed Lin Yuan within it.

"Taste the flavor of my Gloom World."

Seeing Lin Yuan smoothly suppressed within his Gloom World, a smile bloomed on Grey Ancestor's face.

The Gloom World was a world condensed by Grey Ancestor using his own Origin Dao, and the rules within it were entirely formulated by him.

As strong as a Second Stage Time Lifeform was, once they fell into the Gloom World, they wouldn't be able to break free in a short time.

The move Gloom World was inherently for suppression, and what Grey Ancestor wanted was precisely this effect. Only by stalling Lin Yuan could he smoothly take away the tianhe heart.

Taking away the tianhe heart was also Grey Ancestor's ultimate goal.

As for Lin Yuan? Through the previous exchange, Grey Ancestor also realized that Lin Yuan's accumulated foundation was unimaginably profound.

Facing such a Time Lifeform, wanting to kill him only had two ways.

One was annihilation with absolute power.

And the 'absolute power' here had to at least reach the Third Realm Lord level.

Another was relying on long years to slowly wear him down.

Of these two ways, Grey Ancestor couldn't do the first, and couldn't be bothered to do the second.

"Rest assured, Your Excellency, as long as the tianhe heart is taken away, I will let you out."

Grey Ancestor looked down at Lin Yuan inside the Gloom World and spoke.

"Take away the tianhe heart? Do you think you can take it away?"

Lin Yuan suddenly said.

"What do you mean?"

Hearing this, Grey Ancestor froze slightly.

Without Lin Yuan, relying solely on those First Realm Time Lifeform in the Heavenly River Dimension, who could stop him?

As for the other Second Stage Time Lifeform in this area's dimensional gap? It would basically be too late for them to rush over.

As long as the tianhe heart was in his own hands, even if it left a few hidden dangers, Grey Ancestor could accept it.

With his strength, what could other Second Stage Time Lifeform do even if they knew that the tianhe heart with Lord-level potential was in his hands?

Of course, if possible, Grey Ancestor did not wish for news of him obtaining the tianhe heart to spread out.

But since it couldn't be kept secret anymore, Grey Ancestor didn't mind either.

"Suppressing me with the Gloom World, how much strength can you still display right now?"

Lin Yuan smiled slightly.

Deeply trapped in the Gloom World, Lin Yuan would naturally resist.

Struggling against it, Grey Ancestor could only allocate the majority of his strength to suppress him.

"Even if I can only display thirty to forty percent, no one can stop me."

Grey Ancestor's tone was calm. Thirty to forty percent of a Second Stage Time Lifeform's strength still surpassed a First Realm Time Lifeform by a large margin.

Furthermore, those First Realm Time Lifeform did not know that he, Grey Ancestor, now needed to allocate more than half of his strength to suppress Lin Yuan.

Under such circumstances, who would dare to block him?

"Let's see who dares to block me!"

Grey Ancestor didn't think much more and intended to return to the Heavenly River Dimension immediately.

Calculating the time, another dozen breaths or so would be when the tianhe heart was completely gestated.

Suddenly—

Grey Ancestor stopped and looked around.

At this moment, the surrounding time and space had already turned into a piece of Chaos.

Above the firmament, an incomparably huge face vaguely appeared, looking down at Grey Ancestor.

"This—"

Grey Ancestor's heart trembled. The enormity of this face was almost equivalent to one-percent of the Heavenly River Dimension, and the features of this face…

Were precisely Lin Yuan, who had been suppressed into the Gloom World by Grey Ancestor.
