The towering and mighty man’s tone was calm.
No intimidating aura emanated.
If Lin Yuan hadn’t clearly sensed the complete disappearance of the causal traces of Great Saints Hunxiao and Jade Qilin, he might have thought this was just an ordinary lifeform.
“Annihilation?”
Lin Yuan thought about the last words of the Xuanhuang.
Before I vanish?
“Let’s discuss this last.”
The towering and mighty man waved his hand, and the time and space around them shifted, bringing them to a palace.
Lin Yuan glanced around and immediately noticed the two ancient symbols at the top of the palace.
Xuanhuang.
Although he didn’t know what the symbols meant, he understood them the moment he saw them.
“Xuan Huang Hall?”
“Is this the Xuan Huang Hall?”
Lin Yuan pondered, among the many areas on the animal hide map, the Xuan Huang Hall ranked just below the tomb.
However, the animal hide map described the Xuan Huang Hall as existing deep in time and space, making it very hard to find.
Whoosh!
Following the towering and mighty man into the Xuan Huang Hall, Lin Yuan paused in front of a jade table.
The towering and mighty man sat down to the side, smiling at Lin Yuan, “Please sit.”
“Yes.”
Lin Yuan obediently complied.
Without a doubt, the towering and mighty man before him was the strongest lifeform Lin Yuan had ever seen.
Whether in the Chaos Void or in the source world of the Fierce Sun Ancient Country, he was the strongest lifeform beneath the Thirteenth Step.
Even a Great Saint couldn’t resist being instantly slain, their life-saving means utterly cut off.
Lin Yuan had a feeling that if the towering and mighty man harbored any murderous intent towards him, all traces he left in this Chaos Void would likely be forcibly erased.
“I suppose you already know who I am,” the towering and mighty man said with a smile.
“Your Majesty,” Lin Yuan nodded.
The moment the towering and mighty man appeared, the Origin Source of the Xuanhuang Universe condensed into one.
Aside from the Xuanhuang, who personally created this Postnatal Universe, no one else could achieve this.
Moreover, Great Saints Hunxiao and Jade Qilin also recognized the identity of the towering and mighty man, fleeing without daring to resist, yet ultimately failing to escape.
“Hahaha.”
The towering and mighty man laughed, “In the era I belonged to, in terms of innate talent and growth speed, even the marvelous lifeforms birthed by the Chaos Void were far inferior to me.”
Saying this, he glanced at Lin Yuan and sighed slightly, “But compared to you, I was quite ordinary.”
The moment of re-entering the Xuanhuang Universe, all the events that occurred over more than three million Cosmic Eras in this Postnatal Universe flooded into the towering and mighty man’s mind.
Coupled with his current state, he could see many secrets on Lin Yuan’s body, such as his life level still being in the Master Realm and his unparalleled cosmic foundation.
“Your Majesty is anything but ordinary,” Lin Yuan said immediately.
To eliminate two Great Saints with just a lift of a hand, even Lin Yuan wouldn’t dare claim he could do the same after entering the Chaos Realm.
So far, Lin Yuan’s Chaos Yin-Yang Taiji had yet to take form, its potency unknown, leaving him uncertain.
“My current state is special, hence the ability to thoroughly slay Great Saints; normally, it wouldn’t be possible,” the towering and mighty man laughed, “When I was in the Master Realm, forget contending with Great Saints; even facing ordinary sovereigns, I could only flee in panic.”
Lin Yuan listened obediently.
In truth, the towering and mighty man’s implication was that he could preserve his life in the presence of sovereigns while in the Master Realm.
This was already rare, given that Lin Yuan’s extraordinary comprehension, descending upon numerous dimensional worlds, and mastering a Thirteenth Step inheritance had only barely achieved so much.
For other lifeforms, such an achievement was almost impossible to replicate.
“Special state?”
Lin Yuan looked at the towering and mighty man.
“Yes.”
“You should also be aware that I have long attempted to reach the Thirteenth Step, becoming trapped in a time loop,” the towering and mighty man said, “But now, I have broken free from the temporal loop’s restraints. This escape wasn’t a normal breakthrough but a forcible disengagement, hence it won’t last, and I will soon vanish.”
Lin Yuan listened.
He recalled how the Eye of Myriad Laws once told him that those stuck in the time loops at Twelfth Step perfection could indeed force their way out, as long as an anchor point was left in the outside world to be activated at a certain time.
The Twelfth Step perfectionists trapped in time loops could then lock onto the anchor point and forcibly break free from the time loop.
Yet, such actions were something hardly any Twelfth Step perfectionists would choose to do.
Firstly, the difficulty was too high; time loops were isolated from the Chaos Void, and possessing an external anchor didn’t guarantee escape. One required the power to shake the world of the time loop.
Generally, those Twelfth Step perfectionists possessed such power to hope for breaking through the time loop, negating the need for forcible escape.
Secondly, forcibly breaking out of the time loop defies the supreme laws of the Chaos Void’s operation. Even upon returning to the Chaos Void, one would perpetually suffer backlash from the entire Chaos Void.
Lifeforms below the Thirteenth Step can hardly withstand it for long and will eventually vanish entirely.
“Why did Your Majesty choose to escape the time loop?”
Lin Yuan couldn’t help but ask.
Clearly, the Xuanhuang Bead left to him by the Tomb Spirit was the anchor point the towering and mighty man placed outside.
Just crushing it allowed the towering and mighty man within the time loop world to lock onto it, thereby escaping.
Yet Lin Yuan couldn’t understand why the towering and mighty man would do such a thing.
The Tomb Spirit mentioned that after acquiring the Xuanhuang Bead, Lin Yuan could immediately crush it.
