Chapter 83: Ten Thousand Years Ago and Ten Thousand Years Later

Above the clouds.

Lin Yuan faced thirty-five divine weapons all by himself.

Compared to the thirty-five divine weapons that towered like mountains, Lin Yuan appeared exceptionally tiny, resembling a speck of dust.

Yet even so, under the terrifying coercion of the divine weapons,

Lin Yuan still stood suspended in the air without showing the slightest trace of abnormality.

"Who is that?"

"He actually rushed in front of the divine weapons?"

"Is he courting death!?"

On the side of the thirty-five countries, the various emperors all furrowed their brows upon seeing this scene.

Even if one of the thirty-five divine weapons had devoured soldiers from their side just moments ago, it only caused them a momentary pang of heartache.

Instantly, they didn't care in the least.

Let alone devouring just thirty or fifty thousand soldiers, even if all the soldiers on their side were completely devoured, as long as the Reverse God Society could be completely crushed,

the various emperors would all feel it was worth it.

To the royal families of the thirty-five countries, soldiers were merely leeks; once a batch died, another batch would quickly grow in their place.

As long as their status could be maintained, everything else could be tolerated.

"It's the master of the Reverse God Society!"

"Is that the Emperor of Great Yan?"

"As expected, the Great Yan Dynasty has a deep relationship with the Reverse God Society, and the person behind the Reverse God Society might even be the Great Yan Dynasty."

"The Emperor of Great Yan… What does he want to do? Is he declaring war on the divine weapons?"

"However, did you notice that the State-Protecting Divine Weapon of the Great Yan Dynasty hasn't appeared?"

Countless people looked up at the firmament, including those inside the Five Mountains Battlefield and those outside of it.

The decisive battle between the thirty-five countries and the Reverse God Society attracted the attention of every entity in this world.

For instance, some secluded cultivators?

And even some divine weapon fragment consciousnesses.

The divine weapon war eight thousand years ago resulted in sixty-four divine weapons being shattered and falling into the four corners of heaven and earth.

Among these divine weapon fragments, some were unwilling to accept defeat, turning into Evil Weapons and emerging into the world to stir up winds and clouds.

There were also some divine weapon fragments that completely gave up, feeling that those thirty-six State-Protecting Divine Weapons were invincible, so they had been hiding all along.

In the eyes of most entities, what the Reverse God Society represented were precisely the losers of the past—the numerous Evil Weapons.

Yet now, the appearance of the Emperor of Great Yan undoubtedly surprised most entities.

Putting aside whether Lin Yuan could actually contend against the thirty-five divine weapons,

just his performance at this moment, ignoring the coercion of the thirty-five divine weapons,

was enough to show that the strength of this Emperor of Great Yan far exceeded the limits of the Human Race in this world.

One must know that even these Evil Weapons of theirs,

faced with the thirty-five divine weapons that had already completed their transformation, trembled with anxiety and wished they could burrow into a hole in the ground.

"Master… Can Master win?"

Inside the battlefield, the Splitting Sky Axe and many other Evil Weapons refined by Lin Yuan couldn't help thinking this.

They had once experienced Lin Yuan's strength up close; it was indeed incomparably powerful.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say it rivaled true divine weapons.

But right now, what Lin Yuan was facing was not just one divine weapon, but thirty-five divine weapons—and moreover, thirty-five divine weapons that had taken that final step.

Especially the boss, second, third, and fourth among them; eight thousand years ago, their strength already far surpassed that of the other divine weapons, let alone now?

Above the clouds.

Beneath the firmament.

The thirty-five divine weapons were evidently stunned for a moment.

Their massive mental fluctuations continuously swept across Lin Yuan.

Yet, bizarrely, all the mental fluctuations were entirely swallowed by a certain force as soon as they came within three feet of his body.

It was as if Lin Yuan himself was a 'black hole', capable of absorbing everything that approached.

"Interesting?"

"Are you really part of the Human Race?"

A saber-shaped divine weapon that seemed to have a true dragon stepping on a sparrow emitted mental fluctuations with a hint of curiosity.

For ten thousand years, in their eyes, the Human Race had always been food; now that a piece of food they couldn't even understand suddenly appeared, it was naturally a rare occurrence.

"Regardless of whether you are from the Human Race, I can sense that your Qi and blood are as vast as an ocean. Devouring you might allow me to advance further."

Another divine weapon emitted greedy mental fluctuations.

Boom!

A wave of divine weapon power descended silently.

Lin Yuan's gaze was calm. At this moment, just looking at the thirty-five divine weapons made him feel as though he were observing some essence of heaven and earth.

"Since everyone has arrived."

"Then all of you come in."

Lin Yuan raised his right hand.

That power of the divine weapon vanished into nothingness.

Not only that.

A terrifying aura suddenly erupted.

The Five Mountains Battlefield was vast and boundless, but at this moment, streams of aura burst forth from it, and a giant cage faintly took shape.

Ten years ago, in the first year that Lin Yuan walked the mortal world emulating the Ancient God, he successfully stepped into the Fourth Tier.

Stepping into the Fourth Tier with the rules and essence of this realm allowed Lin Yuan to have a deeper comprehension of heaven and earth.

At the same time, he faintly sensed that the State-Protecting Divine Weapons of the other thirty-five countries were also on the verge of a Breakthrough.

Lin Yuan had tried using Fourth-Tier strength to ambush those thirty-five divine weapons one by one.

But these divine weapons were all very cautious. With Lin Yuan's strength, if he were to strike forcefully, he could certainly suppress five or six of them quickly, but it would undoubtedly frighten away the remaining divine weapons.

To wipe them out in one go, Lin Yuan deduced the grand trend of the world, secretly guiding the war between the Reverse God Society and the thirty-five countries, and fixed the location of their decisive battle right here in the Five Mountains Battlefield.

The Five Mountains Battlefield was located at the central position of the Thirty-Six Kingdoms of the Central Plains and adjacent to rivers. Lin Yuan spent eight years walking through every corner of the Five Mountains Battlefield, laying out nodes one by one.

He forcefully refined the entire Five Mountains Battlefield into a certain furnace,

waiting only for the thirty-five divine weapons to gather here and devour the living beings of both sides,

so that he could guide the furnace to take shape, and subsequently—

suppress the thirty-five divine weapons.

Rumble.

A terrifying aura came from all directions. Lin Yuan had spent eight years, giving up Cultivate and Epiphany, putting all his energy into the Five Mountains Furnace.

At this moment, it suddenly erupted, and its might almost reached the Late Stage of the Fourth Tier. The circulation of its aura made the thirty-five divine weapons terrified.

"What is this?"

"Not good, let's go quickly."

Seeing this scene, the mental fluctuations of the thirty-five divine weapons trembled somewhat.

For ten thousand years, apart from that Ancient God, they had never feared anything; even in that divine weapon war eight thousand years ago, they were the final victors.

Only now.

Upon sensing the mighty and billowing aura coming from the entire Five Mountains Battlefield, all the divine weapons were scared.

Hum!!

Without even thinking, the thirty-five divine weapons directly fled in all directions.

On the ground.

All the entities who saw this scene were dumbfounded.

Before they could recover from the aura changes on the Five Mountains Battlefield,

they saw the high-and-mighty thirty-five divine weapons fleeing in all directions.

Everyone opened their eyes wide, unable to recover their senses for a long time.

So in the eyes of all living beings, even the high-and-mighty divine weapons would have a day when they fled.

"Impossible."

"Divine weapons are invincible."

"How could they run away?"

In the rear of the thirty-five countries, the emperors of the various dynasties were filled with sheer disbelief.

They had been waiting to kneel and welcome the descent of the divine weapons, yet now the divine weapons had all fled?

Since the divine weapons had fled, what should they do?

"You want to leave now?"

"It's too late."

A smile appeared on Lin Yuan's face.

If it had been just now, the moment Lin Yuan appeared,

and the thirty-five divine weapons had directly chosen to return to heaven and earth, they might have been able to escape before the Five Mountains Furnace completely sealed heaven and earth.

But in Lin Yuan's deduction, this possibility was close to zero.

After all, as far as returning to heaven and earth was concerned, for the divine weapons, it was almost equivalent to being recast in the furnace.

Their consciousness and memories would be completely washed away and worn out by heaven and earth, which was only slightly better than complete death.

These divine weapons had just taken that step and finished transforming, without having enjoyed anything yet. How could they choose such an extreme method just because they encountered a person they couldn't see through?

The facts were exactly as Lin Yuan had anticipated.

Even when sensing that something was amiss, not a single one of the thirty-five divine weapons chose to return to heaven and earth.

"Rise!"

Lin Yuan's mind stirred once more.

The mighty and billowing Taiji Field rapidly expanded.

After breaking through to the Fourth Tier, Lin Yuan's Taiji Field gained another massive enhancement.

The Dao of Taiji was not just about Taiyin and Taiyang; taking Taiyin and Taiyang as its core, it accommodated all Daos in the world.

This was also the reason why Lin Yuan could still obtain enhancements by comprehending the rule essences within other Evil Weapons.

"Break!"

Among the thirty-five divine weapons, that tower-shaped divine weapon suddenly stopped.

Red light blazed intensely, resembling a great sun instantly bursting forth with all its light and heat.

The Void Realm boiled, and the sky for hundreds of li seemed to be boiled instantly. Mist-like wisps enveloped the entire Five Mountains Battlefield like clouds and fog.

The temperature within a radius of hundreds of li rose. Even for a Blood Refinement Martial Saint, the air breathed in through their nose and mouth seemed to have turned into burning charcoal, unbearably scorching!

The terrifying heat exploded, and in an instant, it actually scattered a section of the furnace's form within several li around it.

"Water."

Seeing this, Lin Yuan extended his hand once more, and the river water outside the Five Mountains Battlefield was immediately guided over.

A large amount of river water was evaporated, quickly blocking the scorching heat of that tower-shaped divine weapon.

"Not good."

Seeing this, that tower-shaped divine weapon felt its thoughts grow heavy.

Because at this moment, the auras from the countless nodes of the Five Mountains Battlefield completely merged together.

Endless light and shadow, spiritual auras, and the power of heaven and earth crisscrossed and intertwined. Outlining each other, a Taiji Furnace exhibiting black and white colors

suddenly took shape.

The thirty-five divine weapons were no exception.

They were all entirely enveloped within the Taiji Furnace.

The Taiji Furnace hung beneath the firmament, standing a full hundred li tall like a behemoth straddling across the sky.

Rumbling sounds continuously came from inside the furnace; clearly, the thirty-five divine weapons had not given up and were still struggling.

However, as time passed, this struggle grew weaker and weaker.

"The thirty-six divine weapons have all entered my urn."

Lin Yuan took a step forward and sat at the top of the furnace.

Immediately after, a sun moon spear flew out, actively entering the furnace.

The thirty-six divine weapons emerged from heaven and earth together. For the convenience of comprehension, Lin Yuan directly put the sun moon spear in as well.

"Next is suppression and comprehension."

Lin Yuan sat cross-legged, his mind calm and steady.

"The divine weapons have been suppressed?"

On the ground, everyone who saw this scene—whether human or the consciousness of Evil Weapons—fell into an indescribable shock.

Ten thousand years ago.

There was an Ancient God walking the world, sacrificing mountains and rivers and merging the four seas to forge a hundred weapons. For ten thousand towering years, all living beings bowed their heads.

Ten thousand years later.

There was a young emperor sitting high in the firmament, boiling rivers and refining the Five Mountains, suppressing thirty-six weapons. With brilliant heavenly might, ten thousand spirits looked up in awe.
