Chapter 775: Endless Stairway

As a Legendary Lord, even though the true body was in the future, separated by hundreds of Great Destruction Cycles, the towering crimson figure still sensed that Lin Yuan's timeline had not yet converged.

In other words, Lin Yuan was not yet a Lord?

Not a Lord? Yet he appeared in the Myriad Dimensions Time-Space, which only Lords could enter?

When ordinary Time Lifeforms entered the Myriad Dimensions Time-Space, they were basically brought along by other Lords.

But the aura displayed by Lin Yuan was not much weaker than the Lords around him who had touched the threshold of Legendary Lords.

"Not a Lord, how could he possess such strength?"

Numerous thoughts surged through the towering crimson figure's mind, suspecting whether Lin Yuan was a backup plan left in the past by some old fellow who was also at the Legendary tier.

Time Lords could change the past, but they feared the backlash generated by changing the past.

As for Legendary Lords, they were already capable of changing the past on a larger scale, and their ability to withstand the backlash had also been greatly enhanced.

This was also the reason why the towering crimson figure dared to make a move in this time-space; as long as it didn't completely kill multiple Lords, the magnitude of the changed past wouldn't be too great, and it could completely bear it.

"Interesting." The towering crimson figure stared at Lin Yuan and smiled, saying, "Who are you?"

In the progression of the original timeline, the Blood Sea Lord was severely wounded because of this incident, yet even after hundreds of Great Destruction Cycles, he still stepped into the Legendary tier.

He was still quite heavily affected.

Therefore, the towering crimson figure's strike this time was precisely to change the past and eliminate the hidden dangers brought by this period of time.

It just didn't expect to encounter such a pleasant surprise.

Discovering the arrangements of another Legendary Lord.

"Who is he?" Hearing this, the Blood Sea Lord was inwardly startled.

Even when facing the Heavenly Time Lord, the towering crimson figure couldn't be bothered to say an extra word, yet it specifically asked Lin Yuan such a question?

Seeing this attitude, the Blood Sea Lord naturally realized that Lin Yuan's background was immense, and it was highly likely that he was also related to a Legendary Lord.

The other Time Lords also thought of this point; someone who could make a Legendary Lord look sideways could only be a Legendary Lord.

"I don't know him." The Blood Sea Lord immediately sent a voice transmission to the towering crimson figure.

Among the many Time Lords present, he basically knew all of them, except for a few who had hidden their identities and weren't recognized.

Lin Yuan was one of them.

"Mhm."

The towering crimson figure did not say much more, keeping its gaze still fixed on Lin Yuan.

It had some conjectures about Lin Yuan's identity, estimating that it was also the means of some Legendary Lord.

Otherwise, wanting to rival Lords who had touched the Legendary threshold with a non-Lord body—how could a normal Time Lifeform possibly achieve that?

Lin Yuan looked at the towering crimson figure; the other party hadn't answered his question, but instead asked "Who is he?"

"You answer me first," Lin Yuan said.

Time Lifeforms could observe future timelines, but they would be subject to many influences, especially concerning intelligence related to transcendence.

"Whether there are Lords who have transcended in the future, don't you know yourself?" The towering crimson figure sneered.

Revealing information about the future, especially information related to transcendent existences, would cause far-reaching impacts, far greater than killing a few Lords.

The towering crimson figure naturally wouldn't speak of it.

Moreover, in the eyes of the towering crimson figure, Lin Yuan was most likely also related to a Legendary Lord, and asking these questions was undoubtedly setting a trap for it.

Which Time Lifeform that had experienced that era didn't know about that period of time which made all Lords, and even all Legendary Lords, utterly despair?

That was the greatest tribulation in the history of the entire endless dimensions.

Of course, this matter involved transcendence and was not within the observable range of the timeline.

At least all the Lords in the current time-space did not know that they were about to face a dark and desperate period at the Lord level that they could not resist.

"Sneaking around, let me see which 'old fellow' you really are!"

The towering crimson figure couldn't be bothered to continue probing. Its remaining time to stay in this time-space was limited, with only three or four breaths left, and it needed to clear obstacles for its past self as soon as possible.

Rumble.

The mighty, boundless crimson canopy swept over once again, surging towards Lin Yuan.

The simplest way to figure out Lin Yuan's background was to attack him; as long as he faced the threat of life and death, the mastermind behind him would naturally show up.

The crimson canopy permeated through layers of time-space, cutting off all possibilities of escape for Lin Yuan.

Wanting to survive under the sweeping crimson canopy meant one could only forcibly resist this crimson power.

And resisting it head-on… the Heavenly Time Lord earlier had already provided the answer. As powerful as the Heavenly Time Lord of the second-tier limit was, under the inundation of the crimson canopy, he didn't even last for a few breaths.

And this was the result of the towering crimson figure intentionally trying to capture him alive; if it had the purpose of completely killing him, it probably wouldn't even take a single breath.

Capturing alive and killing were completely different matters.

Even with overwhelming strength, wanting to capture someone alive took a lot of time.

Buzz buzz buzz~ The Domain formed by the Universe outside Lin Yuan's body roared, shattering inch by inch. Clearly, it was far from enough to withstand the crimson power.

In the blink of an eye, Lin Yuan was mostly submerged by the crimson canopy, his entire figure tottering.

"Why hasn't he actively annihilated his main combat Physical Body yet?" The surrounding group of Time Lords watched in utter shock.

Given the Heavenly Time Lord as a precedent, facing the towering crimson figure, if one tried to resist head-on, there was a high possibility of being directly suppressed and captured alive.

This price was much heavier than actively annihilating the Physical Body.

"Let me see who is standing behind you, or rather, who your future really is!"

The towering crimson figure stared at Lin Yuan. Only two breaths remained until the final time it could linger in this time-space.

"I am indeed no match for a Legendary Lord."

Under the erosion of the crimson canopy's power, Lin Yuan sighed inwardly.

However, he was not worried; his Taiji Primordial Spirit had clear differences from the main combat Physical Bodies of other Lords.

The Taiji Primordial Spirit was essentially not a Physical Body, but a Primordial Spirit physique. Although transformed into a flesh-and-blood body, its essence remained illusory Primordial Spirit power.

As for the Primordial Spirit power, as long as Lin Yuan's mental will was annihilated, the Primordial Spirit power would naturally be annihilated, and there would be no possibility of being permanently captured alive.

Lin Yuan didn't even need to specifically annihilate the Taiji Primordial Spirit; he just needed to disperse his mental will, and the Taiji Primordial Spirit would fall into an irreversible annihilation.

"However, this trip has already earned enough."

Lin Yuan looked at the towering crimson figure overlooking him. "It's just that before dispersing my mental will, I might as well try summoning my Future Self."

Through comprehending the scene of the Blood Sea Lord summoning his Future Self just now, although Lin Yuan was not a true Time Lord, he was still able to try summoning his own true Future Self.

However, limited by his strength and Realm, Lin Yuan certainly couldn't do what the Blood Sea Lord did—summoning a Future Self from hundreds of Great Destruction Cycles later.

At most, it would be a Future Self from a few million years later.

A few million years later… The timeline a few million years later observed by Lin Yuan was basically extremely blurry. What he himself was actually doing a few million years later, Lin Yuan had no certainty.

Lin Yuan had also observed the future timelines of other Time Lifeforms; some periods were extremely blurry, but not to the extent of remaining extremely blurry all the way after a few million years.

It was just that after a few million years, the endless dimensions basically no longer had any information related to him, and even the Chaos Void had disappeared, as if it had never appeared at all.

Precisely because of this.

Lin Yuan asked the towering crimson figure whether there were Lords who transcended in that time-space, or whether things related to transcendence had happened.

After all, the other party came from the true future.

"Begin."

Lin Yuan's mind began to spread along the timeline towards the future. Vaguely, with Lin Yuan as the center, the timelines in all directions began to become chaotic.

"Hm?"

"Is he also summoning his own Future Self?"

Seeing this, the various Time Lords immediately knew Lin Yuan's purpose.

Just like the Blood Sea Lord, he was also summoning his Future Self.

"Judging by the attitude of the Blood Sea Lord's Future Self just now, this person's future is probably also a Legendary Lord. With both futures being Legendary Lords, are they going to fight and clash in the current time-space?"

Many Time Lords felt their minds shake, their expressions full of anticipation.

A Legendary Lord making a move was already extremely rare; two Legendary Lords fighting? Or future Legendary Lords fighting in the present time-space?

Probably wouldn't happen once in several Great Destruction Cycles or dozens of Great Destruction Cycles.

"Also summoning the future?"

The Blood Sea Lord's expression also changed. He looked at the towering crimson figure behind him, and seeing that it had no reaction, he immediately relaxed.

With a Future Self who had already stepped into the Legendary tier present, even if Lin Yuan was also a Legendary Lord in the future, he couldn't do anything to him.

Whoosh!

The timeline twisted and blurred.

Behind Lin Yuan, one blurry illusion after another emerged.

"Which old fellow is it?"

The towering crimson figure observed carefully. Its strike earlier was precisely to force out the existence behind Lin Yuan.

It wanted to see clearly which Legendary Lord's layout it was.

Yet the next moment.

The towering crimson figure saw a scene deeply branded in the depths of its Soul.

Accompanied by the flashing of blurry illusions, steps of the White Jade Stairway emerged behind Lin Yuan.

The White Jade Stairway was illusory yet real, a certain scene from the future. But the moment it appeared, it began to affect the current time-space, and everything it touched around it, including the power of the crimson canopy, began to irreversibly turn into nothingness.

The White Jade Stairway spread upwards step by step, endless, without beginning or end. It seemed to lead to the highest place of the endless dimensions.

"Hm?"

Including the Blood Sea Lord, all the Time Lords were puzzled. As Lords wandering the endless dimensions, what kind of place had they not seen? But as for this White Jade Stairway that led to an unknown destination, let alone seeing it, they had never even heard of it.

"This is the fourth."

Compared to the puzzlement and doubt of the other Time Lords, the towering crimson figure widened its eyes, its expression full of absurdity and disbelief.

"Your Excellency does not need to continue summoning."

The towering crimson figure immediately spoke up, panic appearing on its face: "Revealing a crucial future scene in the current time-space… this, this will incur an irresistible backlash! There's really no need, really no need."

"What do you mean?"

Lin Yuan was also observing the endless stairway behind him. These endless steps gave him a sense of deja vu.

Meanwhile.

The timeline continued to become chaotic, and the steps of the White Jade Stairway continued to spread upwards, finally showing a different scene at some extremely high place.

Within this picture, not only did the White Jade Stairway exist, but a figure also appeared.

This figure had their back turned to all the Time Lords, slowly walking up the steps.

The White Jade Stairway was endless, without beginning or end. A sense of desolation permeated around this figure, as if he was the only one in the vast, boundless world.

"Is it him?"

The towering crimson figure's mind went blank, far more unbelievable than seeing the steps of the White Jade Stairway just now.

The chaotic timeline spread, and the figure slowly walking up the steps seemed to notice something.

The right foot that was about to step onto the next step paused slightly.

Then, with a wave of a sleeve.

The originally chaotic timeline instantly collapsed completely, rapidly spreading towards the current time-space.

The crimson canopy power exerted by the towering crimson figure began to disintegrate without any suspense, and an invisible aura arrived in an instant, directly wiping the towering crimson figure out of thin air.

This scene left the many surrounding Time Lords unable to react for a long time.

A dignified Legendary Lord, even a Legendary Lord from a future time-space, was just wiped out of thin air like that?

Who on earth was that figure slowly walking up the steps? What Realm and strength were they at? What relationship did they have with Lin Yuan? Or could it be Lin Yuan's Future Self?

To be able to so easily wipe out a Legendary Lord—even among Legendary Lords in the third stage of the Infinite Tribulation, they must be extremely powerful, right? Would they even surpass Myriad Dimensions Lords?

The invisible aura continued to spread.

"No, no." The Blood Sea Lord watched this scene in terror and despair.

Because he lost the protection of the towering crimson figure, the direction the invisible aura spread next was precisely towards him.

Swish swish.

The Blood Sea Lord's mental consciousness fluctuations were instantly annihilated.

Along with the Void Spirit Lord and Imperial Armor Lord behind him, it was the same; their mental will fluctuations were directly annihilated.

The invisible aura did not cause any injuries to the physical bodies of the three Lords, but their mental wills were forcibly wiped out.

"This is…?"

The scalp of the many Time Lords watching from the surroundings tingled, looking at this scene with trembling minds.

It was too shocking.

Even a Legendary Lord couldn't so easily wipe out the mental will of a second-tier limit Lord, right?

Not to mention that the Blood Sea Lord's Future Self had also stepped into the Legendary tier just now?

In the time-space over three hundred Great Destruction Cycles later.

The Blood Sea Lord suddenly opened his eyes. His Incarnation that had descended to the past was forcibly annihilated, and his true body naturally knew it at the first moment.

"I didn't expect it to be that existence, it was that existence."

The Blood Sea Lord's mind trembled. "I've never heard that that existence had ever been to the Myriad Dimensions Time-Space, I've simply never heard of it!"

In his heart, the Blood Sea Lord actually had an answer.

That existence had indeed been to the Myriad Dimensions Time-Space, but this matter hadn't spread out.

In the timeline he had originally experienced, under normal development circumstances, the past of that existence would not summon its Future Self.

Because of his own interference, it caused the past of that existence to summon its Future Self, leading to even greater variables.

"My luck…"

The Blood Sea Lord's expression was despairing, because an invisible aura from the past time-space had already crossed hundreds of Great Destruction Cycles of years, descended into this time-space, and was blanketing toward him.

The next instant.

The Blood Sea Lord's true body was annihilated.

At the same time.

The invisible aura continued to spread across one timeline after another.

The Blood Sea Lord of the past, the Blood Sea Lord of the present, the Blood Sea Lord of the future, the weak Blood Sea Lord, the powerful Blood Sea Lord, countless Blood Sea Lords, Blood Sea Lords of all time periods—all of them were annihilated at the same time.

On the endless White Jade Stairway, a figure shook his sleeve, glanced down, and continued walking up the steps.
