“No matter how strong the Galaxy Star Master is, could he possibly wipe us all out?”

The three guardian secret techniques of the Profound Emperor lineage—

encompassing attack, defense, and escape, seemingly flawless, but the premise is being able to master it.

But mastering it? Is it really that easy?

All things in the world vaguely maintain a certain stable balance;

special life forms possess terrifying talents yet have extremely low reproductive capabilities,

and those one-of-a-kind special life forms lack reproductive capabilities entirely.

The countless citizens of Human Civilization have an average Aptitude that ranks at the very bottom among the major Peak Groups,

yet their reproductive capability can be described as Heaven-Defying.

This is a certain balance.

Or rather, a 'restriction'.

Secret techniques are the same; each of the three guardian secret techniques of the Profound Emperor lineage can be considered incredible.

However, wanting to master them, or rather to get started, is far more difficult than imagined.

If Lin Yuan were a Tier 11 life who had comprehended the complete Space Rules and Time Rule, mastering the secret technique so quickly could barely be explained.

After all, standing on high makes one's vision broad; with a high Realm, learning anything is fast.

But Lin Yuan is only at Tier 9. A Tier 9 life spent just a few years mastering the first stage of the "Mystic Yellow Strike"?

"This little guy's true experiential aura of years does not exceed four thousand years, and he has opened up so many spatial layers. Now?"

The Six-Armed Figure fell into silence.

According to Lin Yuan's current cultivation speed, at most five thousand years would be needed to Cultivate the "Mystic Yellow Strike" to the third stage.

By then, any casual strike from Lin Yuan would unleash a blow four times his own limit of power,

and make this state 'permanent'.

"In my Profound Emperor lineage, back when Your Majesty was still around, the fastest speed to Cultivate the "Mystic Yellow Strike" to the third stage was seven thousand three hundred and ninety-four years, and that person was even a Tier 11 life."

The Six-Armed Figure thought to himself,

a Tier 9 life cultivating secret techniques even faster than a Tier 11 life? This was something he never expected.

Tier 9 and Tier 11 lives can hardly be considered the same species anymore;

the gap between the two is like a natural chasm. The essence that a Tier 11 life sees through at a glance might not be seen through by a Tier 9 life even in ten thousand years.

"Not necessarily."

"Successfully cultivating the first stage this smoothly does not guarantee that the subsequent second and third stages will be just as smooth."

The Six-Armed Figure let out a soft sigh of relief and suddenly laughed out loud, "What am I worrying about? Naturally, the more exaggerated the talent and Aptitude of Your Majesty's successor, the better. If it's not exaggerated, how can he catch up to Your Majesty's footsteps?"

The Six-Armed Figure shook his head slightly. At this point, he couldn't be bothered to figure out why Lin Yuan's speed in cultivating secret techniques was so fast, because it was meaningless.

Just at this moment,

the countless spatial layers outside the Profound Yellow Secret Realm suddenly began to ripple.

"Hmm?"

"Those Twelve-Order Life forms are trying to lock onto the Secret Realm's location again?"

The Six-Armed Figure glanced sideways and sneered, "Even if Your Majesty has disappeared for dozens of Universe epochs, for you Twelfth Order beings who have never experienced a complete Universe annihilation to try and break through Your Majesty's methods is nothing more than a fool's daydream."

Deep within the boundless spatial layers,

several Experts with massive bodies stood proudly.

Just by standing there, they made numerous spatial layers yield, forming a Domain entirely belonging to themselves. Within this Domain, space and time were mere playthings that could be manipulated at will.

"Where on earth is this Profound Yellow Secret Realm? I am becoming more and more curious about the former master of this Secret Realm, that 'Your Majesty'."

The voice of an entity with twenty-four pairs of wings on its back was magnificent, its tone tinged with curiosity.

"What now? We still haven't locked onto the Secret Realm's location." Another behemoth tens of millions of miles in size spoke. Its voice spread along with space and time, disrupting the space-time of this region.

"What else can we do? Go back from wherever you came!" The third towering figure turned around, took a step, and disappeared into the distance.

"Hmph!" The second towering figure's expression was calm. Every time the Profound Yellow Secret Realm opened, Supreme Powerhouses would come to try and lock onto its coordinates.

But without exception, they all failed.

Reaching the level of Supreme Powerhouses, the vast majority of Treasures, weapons, and secret techniques in the world were of little use to them, but the Profound Yellow Secret Realm right now was different.

Not to mention anything else, just this concealment method alone startled many Supreme Powerhouses.

Furthermore, every Supreme Powerhouse shared a common thought: the Secret Realm must contain a great secret or a great Treasure Trove.

Otherwise, why go through all the trouble to hide the Profound Yellow Secret Realm? What for?

Before long,

the several Supreme Powerhouses standing here all vanished, and this space-time returned to stability once again.

Inside the Profound Yellow Secret Realm,

Lin Yuan circulated the "Mystic Yellow Strike" and found that his speed in refining the Secret Realm core had greatly increased, instantly feeling delighted in his heart.

Among the three guardian secret techniques of the Profound Emperor lineage, categorizing the "Mystic Yellow Strike" as an attack secret technique is not very accurate; it is more like a 'passive' secret technique that can be applied to any aspect.

Take right now, for instance. Lin Yuan used the "Mystic Yellow Strike" to accelerate his speed in refining the Secret Realm core, and refining the Secret Realm core has nothing to do with attacking at all.

"Is this the feeling of control?"

As Lin Yuan's progress in refining the Secret Realm core grew, his control over the Secret Realm increased accordingly.

Now Lin Yuan could clearly sense every detail of the outer region of the Profound Yellow Secret Realm—those Tier 9 alien beings hidden in certain corners, the communications among these Tier 9 alien beings, and so on.

None of it could escape Lin Yuan's perception.

Of course, the outer region here refers to the outer periphery of the continent where outsiders like them descended.

As for the other two continents, they would come under complete control as Lin Yuan continuously refined the Secret Realm core.

"These Tier 9 alien beings… If I wanted to kill them now, I could do so at any time." Lin Yuan's heart skipped a beat.

Inside the Profound Yellow Secret Realm, all outsiders would be suppressed; being unable to teleport was only one aspect, as perception would also plummet drastically.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, as long as a Tier 9 alien being wasn't too high-profile and honestly hid in some corner, there wouldn't be any danger.

"Forget it, I'd better act a bit more ordinary." Lin Yuan ultimately gave up this tempting idea.

The matter of him controlling the Profound Yellow Secret Realm and becoming its new master must not leave any traces whatsoever.

Accurately grasping the location of every Tier 9 alien being and hunting them down? This was no longer just a matter of strength.

The Six-Armed Figure had long since informed Lin Yuan that every time the Profound Yellow Secret Realm opened, it would attract the attention of Supreme Powerhouses.

Under such circumstances, it was best to keep a low profile. If Lin Yuan could become a Supreme Powerhouse in the future, so what if he openly declared himself the master of the Profound Yellow Secret Realm?

"According to the current refining speed, in about another five years, I will be able to completely refine it."

Lin Yuan continued to look at the Secret Realm core before him. Without the aid of the "Mystic Yellow Strike", refining the Secret Realm core would take at least twenty years.

With the aid of the "Mystic Yellow Strike", the time consumed was greatly reduced.

In fact, how much time it took to refine the Secret Realm core had little significance to Lin Yuan.

Having become the successor of Your Majesty 'Profound Emperor' and starting to refine the Secret Realm core, Lin Yuan possessed the 'permission' to enter the Profound Yellow Secret Realm at any time.

There was no need to wait until the Profound Yellow Secret Realm opened to enter.

As long as Lin Yuan moved his mind, he could use the Profound Yellow Mark to enter the Profound Yellow Secret Realm.

"However, I cannot actively attack those Tier 9 alien beings. But next, the Tier 9 Evolvers of Human Civilization within the Secret Realm will clear out and expel all hostile Tier 9 alien beings. At that time, it will be fine for me to strike."

Lin Yuan thought silently in his heart.

With Human Civilization serving as a cover, as long as Lin Yuan was a bit careful, he shouldn't expose anything.

As for displaying some combat power beyond common sense? Compared to the entire Profound Yellow Secret Realm, what did that even count for?

In fact, with Lin Yuan's current talent and Aptitude, such as being the number one Genius Evolver in the history of Human Civilization, it didn't actually make the alien Supreme Powerhouses pay too much attention to him.

To the alien Supreme Powerhouses, as long as Lin Yuan did not step into the Twelfth Order, he was just a 'wretch' in the Time River, destined one day to face the limit of his Lifespan and approach old age and death.

Galaxy Main Star.

Lin Yuan was fully comprehending the "Mystic Yellow Strike".

Among the three guardian secret techniques of the Xuanhuang Lineage, the "Profound Yellow Body" required a large amount of profound yellow crystal and could not be successfully cultivated for the time being.

The "Space-Time Step" was an escape secret technique, but Lin Yuan currently had no pressure. His true physical body was stationed at the Galaxy Main Star, within the territory of Human Civilization and under the gazes of Supreme Powerhouses; it was no exaggeration to say he was absolutely safe.

The Taiyin Primordial Spirit was currently at Battlefield B0001, absorbing the Boundary-Breaking Source Power overflowing from the permanent space crack. No one knew the true identity of Lin Yuan's Taiyin Primordial Spirit.

Moreover, with the strength of the Taiyin Primordial Spirit hiding on a Medium Alien Battlefield, it couldn't be safer.

As for the Solar Nascent Soul, it had now become half-master of the Profound Yellow Secret Realm. To a certain extent, even Supreme Powerhouses could do nothing against it.

Temporarily, there was no need for the "Space-Time Step".

"As expected of the three guardian secret techniques of the Xuanhuang Lineage. With my current speed of comprehension, cultivating them to Perfection is estimated to take several decades."

Lin Yuan's expression was filled with amazement; naturally, he did not know that even for a Tier 11 life, cultivating this secret technique to the third stage would take more than seven thousand years.

As for fully mastering the fourth stage? That simply couldn't be done without tens of thousands of years.

"However, if I can step into Tier 10 within ten years, I suppose cultivating it to Perfection won't take much time, right?" Lin Yuan thought to himself.

The Heaven-Defying Comprehension possessed by Lin Yuan completely depended on his current standing height. The Heaven-Defying Comprehension at Tier 9 and the Heaven-Defying Comprehension at Tier 10 were completely different concepts.

When Lin Yuan was at Tier 9, it would take him decades or even centuries to Cultivate Mystic Yellow Strike to Perfection. Upon reaching Tier 10, it was estimated that it would only take a few years or even a few months.

If he reached Eleven-Tier, he feared that cultivating Mystic Yellow Strike to Perfection would be calculated in days, right?

"Take it slow."

"I still have plenty of time."

Fragments of Mystic Yellow Strike surfaced in Lin Yuan's mind, and he continued to immerse himself in cultivation.

Time passed.

In the blink of an eye, four years passed.

On another continent of the Profound Yellow Secret Realm, Lin Yuan's figure appeared out of thin air, and countless indigenous lives below were completely oblivious to his presence.

"At most, only one year is left before I can completely refine the Secret Realm core." A smile appeared on Lin Yuan's face, even though he was in the Profound Yellow Secret Realm without any time limits.

He didn't need to be like other Tier 9 alien races who had to leave when the time came, or else they would be 'obliterated' by the Secret Realm itself.

However, refining the Secret Realm core earlier was naturally a good thing.

"These past four years, the second stage of Mystic Yellow Strike is almost completed." Lin Yuan shook his head slightly, somewhat dissatisfied.

In reality, such cultivation efficiency was already exceptionally astonishing, and could even be described as terrifying.

It was estimated that throughout the history of the Xuanhuang Lineage, there had never been a successor who cultivated this secret technique to the second stage in less than ten years.

Did they really think that casually striking with three times one's own limit of power was like cabbages by the roadside, something that could be easily mastered?

But for Lin Yuan, it was still a bit slow, though it was merely a secret technique.

"Hmm?"

"Human Civilization's Tier 9 Evolvers have already begun blockading the outer areas?" Lin Yuan raised his head to take a look, his gaze piercing through layers of Void Realm and falling onto another continent.

Ever since Lin Yuan demonstrated absolute strength and killed the strongest Tier 9 of the Heaven Wing Clan, Hun Yi, Human Civilization's Tier 9 Evolvers, led by Doco, had been plotting a plan to clear out other hostile Tier 9 alien races.

After all, such an opportunity was rare. Being in the Profound Yellow Secret Realm, high-level battle power could not intervene, and the human side happened to produce a freakish anomaly like Lin Yuan.

Naturally, such an opportunity had to be seized.

"Those Tier 9 alien races probably won't just surrender without a fight." Lin Yuan speculated inwardly.

The clearance plan of Human Civilization's Tier 9 Evolvers was naturally to completely resolve those hostile alien races, or at the very least drive them into the inner areas and wait for the Secret Realm's opening time to end.

Any Tier 9 alien race not located in the outer areas would be 'obliterated' by the Secret Realm.

As for lives located in the outer areas, they would be repelled out by the Secret Realm itself.

Therefore—

For those hostile Tier 9 alien races, no matter how much they didn't want to face Lin Yuan, they would definitely rise up in resistance. After all, the final result was death either way.

"I just don't know if they will invest more." Lin Yuan estimated in his heart.

The scheme of Human Civilization's Tier 9 Evolvers on this side must have been detected by those Tier 9 alien races.

Since they could detect it, they would inevitably have some countermeasures.

The Tier 9 Experts who entered the Profound Yellow Secret Realm could only go out after a hundred years when the Secret Realm closed.

But during this period, Experts from the outside could still come in. Through communication with the Tier 9 Experts inside the Secret Realm, they could completely send in some special treasures.

Or they could simply invite some powerful special Tier 9s to help.

Every time the Profound Yellow Secret Realm opened, it would certainly attract a large number of Tier 9 lives to come in, but not every Tier 9 expert would participate.

Virtual World.

Personal space.

Dozens of human Tier 9 tens-of-millions-of-layers Realm Evolvers all gathered here.

"The Galaxy Star Master is here."

"Galaxy Star Master." Dozens of Tier 9 tens-of-millions-of-layers Realm Evolvers stood up one after another, looking toward a young man who appeared out of thin air.

Galaxy Star Master.

Which of the many Tier 9 Experts present wasn't a dominant figure in their own right? Even on the Alien Race Battlefield, they couldn't be considered weak, and some special Tier 9s even had a high hope of advancing to Tier 10.

But now, adding all of them together, or even adding all the Tier 9 Evolvers of this generation of Human Civilization together.

In front of the Galaxy Star Master.

They all appeared completely eclipsed.

"Galaxy Star Master." Doco greeted Lin Yuan.

Before Lin Yuan, he was the strongest Tier 9 of Human Civilization in this era, having opened up nearly forty million space layers.

But nowadays, Human Civilization's strongest Tier 9 naturally fell upon the Galaxy Star Master. If it were anyone else, Doco might have felt somewhat unconvinced.

But the Galaxy Star Master?

Having watched the 'video footage' of the Galaxy Star Master killing Hun Yi, how could Doco dare to have any unconvinced thoughts?

"Everyone, sit down." Lin Yuan wore a smile, casually sitting in the main seat.

"Galaxy Star Master, now the blockade ring in the outer areas of the Secret Realm has almost formed. Next, we might welcome the backlash from those Tier 9 alien races."

Doco immediately said: "At that time, I ask the Galaxy Star Master to make a move. Otherwise, relying on us, we won't be able to stop those Tier 9 alien races."

Human Civilization's Tier 9 Evolvers laid down a blockade line in the outer areas of the Profound Yellow Secret Realm, and those Tier 9 alien races simply did not dare to resist.

What was the reason?

Wasn't it out of fear of the Galaxy Star Master who might appear at any time?

Therefore, those Tier 9 alien races could only flee again and again, hiding again and again.

It's just that the outer area was the smallest region of the Profound Yellow Secret Realm. No matter how these Tier 9 alien races fled, there would eventually be a day when they were forced into a dead end.

That time would also be the moment when all Tier 9 alien races would rise up in resistance.

Among these Tier 9 alien races, including the Tier 9 alien races of the Zerg Grand Alliance and the Tier 9 alien races of the Heaven Wing Clan, if they weren't wary of the Galaxy Star Master, they would have already torn apart the blockade line set up by Human Civilization.

"No problem."

Lin Yuan nodded.

Killing those Tier 9 alien races was originally Lin Yuan's idea, let alone that in this encirclement and suppression, he could obtain ninety percent of the proceeds.

"Then I'll have to trouble the Galaxy Star Master at that time." A smile appeared on Doco's face.

"I wonder which area the Galaxy Star Master is in right now?" Doco seemed to think of something and asked tentatively.

"I am right in the outer area, and I can make a move at any time." Lin Yuan said casually.

In fact, he was still in the deepest part of the Profound Yellow Secret Realm, but with Lin Yuan's current control over the Secret Realm, he could appear in any position of the Secret Realm in a single thought.

Therefore, saying 'I can make a move at any time' was not boasting.

"That's good."

"With the Galaxy Star Master here, those alien races can just obediently wait for death."

"Hahaha, I've never felt so exhilarated before. Thank you, Galaxy Star Master."

One Tier 9 Evolver after another felt joyful.

In the past when the Secret Realm opened, Human Civilization's Tier 9 Evolvers would try their best to avoid those Tier 9 alien races. After all, killing inside the Secret Realm had little meaning; bringing the harvest out was the most important thing.

But now, Human Civilization's Tier 9 Evolvers were actively encircling and suppressing those Tier 9 alien races.

Although these Tier 9 alien races could not represent the groups behind them, or were even merely Clones, their morale had been fought out.

On the other side.

In a gloomy space.

Hundreds of wills descended. Human Civilization had the Virtual World for all Evolvers to communicate in real-time.

Although other alien races could not build a Virtual World similar to Human Civilization's, they had also opened up some spaces where information could be temporarily exchanged.

And the hundreds of wills that descended into this space at this moment were the Tier 9 alien races inside the Profound Yellow Secret Realm.

These alien races came from major groups and were basically powerhouses of hostile groups to Human Civilization.

As for those Tier 9 alien races without significant conflicts with Human Civilization, as well as some lone special life forms at Tier 9, they were not within the scope of Human Civilization's encirclement and suppression this time.

Compared to the laughter and cheers on Human Civilization's side, the atmosphere here appeared somewhat lifeless and gloomy.

All the Tier 9 alien races felt fear in their hearts. They had all watched the 'video' of the Galaxy Star Master killing Hun Yi. Facing the Galaxy Star Master, they simply did not think they had any chance of winning.

"What are you all worrying about?"

"Even if that Galaxy Star Master is strong, could he possibly kill us all?"

After a long while, the leading powerhouse frowned, looked around, and said.
