Chapter 772: Trap

Chapter 772: Trap

Just as Lin Yuan's true Physical Body was refining the Seven Gods Treasure Tree, his Taiji Primordial Spirit was also continuously exploring the depths of the Myriad Dimensions Time-Space.

The deep regions of the Myriad Dimensions Time-Space were vast and boundless, and any Time Lord who dared to enter here had to be at least a Second-Level Lord who had undergone two to three hundred million tribulations.

As for going further up? There was no lack of Second-Level Peak Time Lords who had begun undergoing the final 8,000 tribulations.

Whoosh!

A Time Lord was carefully investigating a certain region.

He was named Lord Huangfeng, having just finished undergoing the 1,000,001,002nd tribulation out of the 1.008 billion tribulations, belonging to the Time Lords who had touched the threshold of Legendary Lords.

"During the last Undergoing Tribulation, I almost failed." Lord Huangfeng observed his surroundings: "If I can reap great rewards within this Myriad Dimensions Time-Space this time, I will have certainty for the next tribulation."

The path of transcendence known as 'Infinite Tribulation' was the most hopeful among the three paths of transcendence, and the number of Time Lords who chose this path of transcendence was also the greatest.

Compared to 'Infinite Origin', 'Infinite Tribulation' could provide timely feedback; for every tribulation passed, one's strength would increase by a fraction.

Therefore.

Unless they had special advantages on the other two paths of transcendence, most Time Lords chose 'Infinite Tribulation' as their path of transcendence.

"I heard that the last few dozen tribulations of the 1.008 billion tribulations in 'Infinite Tribulation' are particularly difficult, and physical reality's strength and methods are useless."

Lord Huangfeng thought silently in his heart.

The tribulations he had undergone so far could all be considered standard, allowing him to use his own methods and strength.

Therefore, the harvests within the Myriad Dimensions Time-Space could assist him in Undergoing Tribulation.

"It is said that the final stage of 330 million tribulations is simply unimaginable, and one doesn't even know how to complete it."

Lord Huangfeng sighed. Such a despairing path of transcendence was actually the most hopeful one to achieve among the three paths of transcendence.

"Hmm?"

"What is that?"

Just at this moment, Lord Huangfeng, who was cautiously investigating, suddenly changed his expression and looked at a Mountain Peak not far away.

This Mountain Peak looked ordinary, but vaguely, a mysterious Qi was permeating it.

"A supreme treasure. This is a supreme treasure deep within the Myriad Dimensions Time-Space."

Lord Huangfeng immediately made this deduction, his heart filled with wild joy.

Immediately afterwards, he cautiously approached the Mountain Peak.

To be cautious, Lord Huangfeng still condensed an Incarnation to enter the Mountain Peak.

Inside the Myriad Dimensions Time-Space, the timeline was hazy and unable to be viewed, so he could only rely on the Incarnation to scout the path.

Of course, some Time Lords would specially hire some Time Lifeforms to use for scouting paths.

But Lord Huangfeng did not do so.

"So many rare treasures."

Through the perspective of the Incarnation, Lord Huangfeng 'saw' that there were a large number of treasures inside the Mountain Peak.

Any random rare treasure had the value of hundreds of thousands of catties of time sand.

"These rare treasures are shrouded by a Restriction, and my Incarnation's strength is too weak to break the Restriction."

Lord Huangfeng frowned. He carefully observed his surroundings once more, especially the Mountain Peak in front of him. After thinking about it repeatedly, he decided to go in personally.

If he hesitated for a bit longer and other Lords discovered it, the rare treasures inside the Mountain Peak might not all belong to Lord Huangfeng.

The moment Lord Huangfeng entered the Mountain Peak.

Swish swish~ A wave of darkness swept over, enveloping Lord Huangfeng within.

"It's a trap?"

Lord Huangfeng's heart skipped a beat. When he first discovered the Mountain Peak, he had considered whether it was a trap, but in the end, he still failed to suppress his greed.

The darkness spread, and Lord Huangfeng only felt suppressed in all aspects.

"Do not obliterate this main combat Physical Body for the time being."

Lord Huangfeng observed his surroundings. The stronger an expert was, the greater the cost of refining a main combat Physical Body.

After all, the strength of the main combat Physical Body was not much weaker than the true Physical Body. How many resources and rare treasures would it take to pile this up?

Therefore, unless there was no vitality left, not a single Lord would be willing to give up a main combat Physical Body.

Lin Yuan's requirement for himself was also to directly obliterate the Taiji Primordial Spirit when encountering Legendary Lords.

In other words, as long as the enemy was not a Legendary Lord, there was no need to give up so hastily.

Lord Huangfeng was the same at this moment. Even though he clearly knew he had fallen into a trap and ambush, he still intended to observe the situation first.

The darkness converged, forming three vague figures that looked at Lord Huangfeng.

"Lord Huangfeng."

The leading vague figure spoke: "Stop struggling. With your strength, you cannot struggle your way out."

"Hmph."

"This time, I, Huangfeng, have fallen for it."

Lord Huangfeng let out a cold snort and swept his eyes around: "It's just that you have a lot of nerve, actually daring to carry such weapons into the Myriad Dimensions Time-Space. Aren't you afraid of ending up with nothing for all your trouble?"

With Lord Huangfeng's strength, he naturally discovered that the dark Domain suppressing him was a Lord-grade weapon, and an extremely powerful Lord-grade weapon at that.

Otherwise, he would not have been so easily suppressed.

The Myriad Dimensions Time-Space was fraught with danger, and Lords who came in would not carry too many overly precious weapons and treasures to prevent excessive losses.

"That won't require your concern."

The leading dark vague figure shook his head.

"Speak, what conditions do you need?"

Lord Huangfeng did not talk nonsense and said directly.

He could see that the strength of the three dark vague figures all surpassed his own, and they were probably very close to being Legendary Lords.

Such Experts, and three of them at that, coupled with the suppression of the dark Domain, Lord Huangfeng knew full well that he had no hope of escaping.

"Five million catties of time sand."

"As long as you hand over five million catties of time sand, we will let you out."

The leading dark vague figure said.

"Five million catties of time sand?"

Lord Huangfeng's expression was ugly. The harvests he had gained from entering and exploring this time added together were only worth a little over two million catties of time sand.

But the other party actually wanted him to produce five million catties of time sand?

"What we want is not much."

The leading dark vague figure looked at Lord Huangfeng: "Refining this main combat Physical Body of yours cost at least eight million catties of time sand, plus the time required for refining before and after—"

"Then five million catties of time sand it is."

Lord Huangfeng was silent for a moment and nodded.

"In addition, we have one more requirement."

The leading dark vague figure suddenly said.

"Speak."

Lord Huangfeng frowned, still not refuting.

"You must swear in the name of your path of transcendence not to disclose any information about us."

The leading dark figure said.

"No problem."

Lord Huangfeng said.

This matter was not difficult to accomplish. Even if the dark figures did not mention it, he would not spread it out.

The pit he stepped into—if other Lords didn't step into it, it wouldn't bring much benefit to Lord Huangfeng anyway.

Very quickly.

Both sides completed the transaction.

Of course, the transaction was completed in the outside world.

As for inside the Myriad Dimensions Time-Space? Lord Huangfeng did not carry many treasures or rare items on him; whatever had the slightest value had already been sent out.

This was also the reason why the three dark figures did not directly take action, but instead took the initiative to trade.

Lord Huangfeng's most valuable asset was his main combat Physical Body, and the main combat Physical Body could be obliterated with a single thought.

If the three dark figures had taken action directly, the actual harvest would not have been large.

After Lord Huangfeng left.

That Mountain Peak that trapped him vanished out of thin air.

"Exactly which three Lords are they? Lords with such strength are not many." Lord Huangfeng quickly moved away, a succession of thoughts flashing through his mind.

A secluded space.

Three dark figures appeared.

The darkness dispersed, revealing three Time Lords.

The leading figure had bright red hair, and his Qi was muddy and viscous, continuously eroding the surrounding time and space.

As for the other two Time Lords, one was covered in scales all over, and the other had an illusory figure that did not look like a physical entity.

"Hahaha, another five million catties of time sand acquired."

A smile appeared on the face of the scale-covered Time Lord, obviously in a good mood.

Five million catties of time sand could not be considered a small number even for Lords below the Legendary level.

"That Lord Huangfeng is not very strong. Demanding five million catties of time sand is already the limit. If we asked for any more, it might force the other party to perish together."

The illusory-figured Time Lord on the right said.

"Understood."

The scale-covered Time Lord nodded, then sighed with emotion: "Only in this Myriad Dimensions Time-Space can we do something like this."

If it were in the outside world, Time Lords observing various future timelines would definitely not fall into traps so easily.

Within the Myriad Dimensions Time-Space, time was limited, coupled with many other competing Lords of the same level. Under numerous conditions, their ambushing actions yielded great harvests.

"With our strength, matched with the weapons we carry, unless a Legendary Lord appears, who could be our match?"

The scale-covered Time Lord spoke with a confident tone.

Carrying powerful weapons would indeed greatly increase the risks borne.

But the benefits were equally obvious.

For Lords, wielding a powerful weapon provided too great an enhancement to combat power.

"Besides, even if we encounter a Legendary Lord, with Big Brother here, we aren't afraid." The scale-covered Time Lord looked at the leading red-haired figure.

Time Lords could observe the past and future, and could similarly travel to the past and future.

However, the vast majority of Time Lords only traveled to the past. As for the future? There were too many variables in the future, and it did not help much with transcendence; Lords who excelled in future-related methods were very rare.

And the red-haired Time Lord was most adept at future lethal moves.

In terms of future attainment, he had even foreseen that after 362 Great Destruction Cycles, he would become a Legendary Lord.

This was also the reason why the three of them dared to enter the Myriad Dimensions Time-Space carrying weapons.

Lords below the Legendary level were not their match, and Legendary Lords? Even if they truly encountered one, they had the ability to resist.

"Right, if Big Brother is really pushed to the limit, at worst we can summon his Future Self after becoming a Legendary Lord. Who could block that?" said the illusory-figured Time Lord.

Lords of the present time and space could travel to the past, thereby changing the past.

As for Lords of the future time and space, traveling to the present time and space was equivalent to their past.

Lords could basically all see their own Future Self, but it didn't hold much meaning.

Even for Time Lords, the future they could see had limits: after one Great Destruction Cycle, after ten Great Destruction Cycles, after a hundred Great Destruction Cycles…

In the even more distant future, it was difficult for Time Lords to touch upon it.

And a Future Self within this range? How much stronger could they be than the Lords of the present time and space?

Coupled with the fact that a Future Self attacking the present time and space would suffer suppression, they basically wouldn't be much stronger than the Lords of the present time and space.

Only a Future Self that had achieved a major Realm leap could resist the suppression and be useful when attacking the present time and space.

Yet how many Great Destruction Cycles later would a Future Self that achieved a major Realm leap be?

Most Time Lords simply could not see such a distant Future Self, let alone sense and summon them.

"Alright, it's time to leave."

At this moment, the red-haired Time Lord spoke.

They set up traps here, and after every success, they would change locations, and the image of the trap would also be changed.

This time it was a Mountain Peak, next time it would be a lake, and the time after that would be a barren hill.

Deep within the Myriad Dimensions Time-Space, the basis for judging whether a supreme treasure existed was not the image, but the Qi. As long as mysterious Qi was being emitted, there was a possibility that a supreme treasure was concealed inside.

In the blink of an eye, another century passed.

Lin Yuan's Taiji Primordial Spirit continuously explored the depths of the Myriad Dimensions Time-Space.

"There."

Lin Yuan suddenly looked in one direction, where the Qi was boiling, and it seemed multiple Time Lords were clashing.

Swish!

Lin Yuan immediately rushed over toward that side.

However.

By the time Lin Yuan arrived, he discovered that the slaughter had basically already ended.

"Those who dare to approach are enemies with me." A tall Time Lord with a pair of gray curved horns emitted a terrifying Qi that permeated in all directions, causing more than a dozen Time Lords to retreat in defeat.

Behind this gray-horned Time Lord was an azure lake, with mysterious Qi flowing through it; a slight observation revealed that a supreme treasure existed within.

"I didn't expect it to actually be this Lord."

Lin Yuan looked at the gray-horned Time Lord and instantly gave up the thought of contending for it.

This Lord was named Heavenly Time Lord. More than a dozen Great Destruction Cycles ago, he had already passed the final tenth tribulation of the 1.008 billion tribulations, and now he was probably already attempting the final three tribulations.

Lin Yuan glanced around; more than a dozen Lords who had touched the threshold of Legendary Lords stood unmoving.

Clearly, before Lin Yuan arrived, Heavenly Time Lord had fought a battle with more than a dozen Lords at the threshold of Legendary Lords, and having gained the upper hand, obtained the qualification to occupy the azure lake behind him.

"I came too late."

Lin Yuan sighed in his heart, having no thoughts about the azure lake behind Heavenly Time Lord.

Making a move at this time meant needing to face Heavenly Time Lord alone, and Lin Yuan had no confidence in that.

Heavenly Time Lord had suppressed more than a dozen Lords approaching the threshold of Legendary Lords single-handedly, already proving his strength.

Lin Yuan had no intention of challenging him.

"Hmph!"

Seeing that no other Lords were approaching, Heavenly Time Lord, who had a pair of gray double horns, let out a cold snort and turned around to approach the azure lake behind him.

"This kind of Qi."

Heavenly Time Lord's gaze was quite yearning as he rapidly approached the azure lake.

The next moment.

The moment Heavenly Time Lord came into contact with the azure lake, his figure vanished without a trace.

"Heavenly Time Lord went in?"

"Alas, who knows what kind of supreme treasure is inside."

The more than a dozen defeated Time Lords in the distance conversed with one another.

However, due to dreading Heavenly Time Lord's strength, not a single Lord dared to approach at this time.

"Eh?"

A trace of astonishment appeared in Lin Yuan's gaze. Vaguely, he perceived that the instant Heavenly Time Lord vanished, a trace of darkness circulated within the azure lake.
