“I felt that the Galaxy Master was hiding his true strength at that time,” the ultimate being from the Robber Clan outside the cabin spoke.
That’s why they withdrew from the encirclement to kill the Galaxy Master and secretly sent clansmen to convey messages to him.
“Exactly, exactly, your intuition has always been accurate over the many Cosmic Eras,” the ultimate being from the Robber Clan inside the cabin immediately agreed.
When encirclement proved ineffective, any twelfth-layer being that participated in the encirclement would inevitably be held accountable once the Galaxy Master reached the twelfth layer.
Of course, with the strength of the Robber Clan, they naturally did not fear the retribution from ordinary peak Path Splitting Realm beings, but it would be troublesome, and at the very least, it would mean humbling themselves for countless years to come.
…
All over the universe, many eleventh-layer beings also sensed something was amiss.
“Is this… the disturbance of a battle at the twelfth layer?”
“Who among the twelfth-layer beings are fighting?”
“My heavens… how long has it been since the ultimate twelfth-layer beings have actually made a move?”
…
One after another, the eleventh-layer beings looked shocked; they could not see the specific scene, but just through the aftermath of the skirmish and the resulting space-time disturbance, they could judge that both sides in the battle had reached the twelfth layer.
Although shocked, most of the eleventh-layer beings were not scared since their own clans also had ultimate beings and were not intimidated.
Yet, for those from powerful clans, their hearts trembled uneasily.
The skirmish at the twelfth-layer level could destroy large swathes of Stellar Secret Realms with just a slight aftermath.
If their clan happened to be unlucky, they might very well face extinction.
Since the universe was born, how few were the number of clans extinct due to skirmishes at the twelfth-layer level?
From that heaven-fallen legacy of countless treasures that came from outside the universe, many ultimate twelfth-layer beings clashed violently, leading to a mass extinction of life throughout the universe.
It was only after that event that human civilization found the opportunity to rise.
And now, the sudden emergence of a skirmish at the twelfth-layer level was causing panic among many eleventh-layer beings.
…
In front of the space-time black hole.
The countenance of the Tianyu Clan’s ancestor was ugly.
The fact that his punch was repelled by the Galaxy Master not only surprised other ultimate twelfth-layer beings, leading to a reassessment of the Galaxy Master’s capabilities,
but for him, the Tianyu Clan ancestor, it was an extreme disgrace.
Indeed.
The Galaxy Master truly possessed the offensive capabilities of the twelfth layer.
But ultimately, he was just an eleventh-layer being.
For him, an ultimate twelfth-layer being, to be repelled by the Galaxy Master in such a manner?
After today, he, the Tianyu Clan ancestor, would be hung on the pillar of shame, and any mention of the Galaxy Master would have him as a contrast.
“Very well!”
“Galaxy Master, you have thoroughly enraged me.”
The aura of the ultimate being of the Tianyu Clan soared rapidly while simultaneously his will began to condense.
Lin Yuan’s methods of spiritual will attacks may be strange, but if he is prepared, the threat would be much diminished.
At the very least, his spirit and will would not be completely restrained.
From the brief exchange just now, the Tianyu Clan’s ancestor also confirmed something.
That is, the Galaxy Master’s direct offensive capability did indeed reach the twelfth layer, but it was merely at the threshold of the twelfth layer.
He, having stepped into the twelfth layer for over a trillion years, had long stabilized at this level, and once he went all out, the Galaxy Master would likely find it difficult to block.
Although their collective scheme from the group of ultimate twelfth-layer beings had utterly failed, the Tianyu Clan ancestor, at the very least, wanted to regain his own dignity.
Killing the avatar of the Galaxy Master could slightly wash away his own disgrace.
As for whether it would completely offend the Galaxy Master?
They had already stood against the Galaxy Master by initiating the encirclement.
No matter what they did now, the Galaxy Master would definitely seek retribution in the future.
So the ultimate being of the Tianyu Clan could not care less now.
“Tianyu Chen has truly become enraged.”
“Indeed, if I were him, repelled by the Galaxy Master in such a way, I would feel the same.”
…
The surrounding ultimate twelfth-layer beings, seeing the situation, were not surprised.
Anybody in the Tianyu Clan ancestor’s position would be furious.
“This time, the disgrace is truly brought home.”
“Regardless, this incarnation of the Galaxy Master must die.”
“Let Tianyu Chen act; the nine supremes of human civilization are on their way, we will stop them.”
The ultimate twelfth-layer beings communicated with one another, and at this moment, their objective had shifted—from completely killing the Galaxy Master, at the very least affecting the Galaxy Master’s push for ultimate… down to leaving behind the Galaxy Master’s incarnation.
Boom, boom, boom.
The next moment.
The nine supremes of human civilization arrived.
“Xuanyuan, your human civilization is indeed lucky to have birthed a prodigy like the Galaxy Master.”
“We are determined to kill this incarnation of the Galaxy Master, you better go back quickly.”
“Indeed, it’s just an incarnation.”
The many alien twelfth-layer beings blocked the nine supremes of human civilization, facing off against one another.
“Humph.”
The Xuanyuan Supreme was too lazy to waste words and directly made a move.
At that moment.
Dozens of twelfth-layer-level powerhouses battled together, fracturing the region within tens to hundreds of thousands of light-years around the space-time black hole.
…
“Galaxy Master, die!”
The aura of Tianyu Clan’s ancestor Tianyu Chen boiled over, and now he was no longer underestimating Lin Yuan. With a strike that utilized both the immense essence of life and the absolute advantage of power, he came crashing down.
Lin Yuan evaded effortlessly, striking out with another punch, finding that Tianyu Chen did not budge an inch. Even when deploying the secret technique, Abyssal Eye, he could only partially draw upon the opponent’s will.
This made Tianyu Chen, the ultimate twelfth-layer being, capable of exerting only part of his strength.
Such a secret technique, if Lin Yuan were to step into the twelfth layer, Tianyu Chen probably wouldn’t dare to face it and would instead turn tail and run. But Lin Yuan was not at the twelfth layer.
Mere eleventh-layer existence, even if Tianyu Chen could not exert his full strength, Lin Yuan could not trouble him either.
“It’s just a Primordial Spirit, still too weak,” Lin Yuan inwardly sighed. At this moment, he surpassed Tianyu Chen in both rule comprehension and spiritual will as a twelfth-layer being.
But the gap in life essence was making it difficult for Lin Yuan at every step.
Of course, what was difficult for Lin Yuan was that his attacks couldn’t affect Tianyu Chen.
As for whether Tianyu Chen could hit him? Naturally, the answer was no.
The comprehension of the Seventh Realm of space-time allowed Lin Yuan, as an Innate being, to stand on an invincible ground. Even if it was just an incarnation of the Primordial Spirit.
This is also the reason why Lin Yuan, despite fully understanding the ultimate beings of the alien race’s twelfth-layer designs on him, still sent out many avatars to wander the universe.
“I simply can’t touch the Galaxy Master.”
On the other hand, after several probes, Tianyu Chen reached a conclusion.
That is, his attacks could not land on the Galaxy Master at all.
Even though the Galaxy Master’s attacks couldn’t breach his defenses, continuing this deadlock wasn’t a solution.
As a twelfth-layer powerhouse himself, clashing with an eleventh-layer being—or rather, an avatar of an eleventh-layer being—for so long without being able to defeat them?
Tianyu Chen himself felt he was losing face.
“No more fighting.”
Tianyu Chen took a deep breath, realizing that persevering in this deadlock would only result in further loss of face.
“Let’s go.”
Tianyu Chen intended to turn around and leave.
He didn’t care about the twelfth-layer ultimate beings who were currently engaged in battle with the nine mightiest human warriors.
“Trying to leave?”
Lin Yuan sensed Tianyu Chen’s thoughts.
The next moment.
Another figure appeared from a different direction.
It was Lin Yuan’s Taiyin Divine Spirit.
With a single step, the Taiyin Divine Spirit arrived alongside the Taiyang Divine Spirit.
Immediately after, Taiyin and Taiyang merged into one.
Taiyin and Taiyang were originally Lin Yuan’s united Taiji Divine Spirit.
However, due to the special nature of the Martial Arts Evolution System, they were split in two.
The Taiji Divine Spirit, divided into the two great Divine Spirits of Taiyin and Taiyang, had its strength reduced, but it was able to handle different matters at the same time.
…
As Taiyin and Taiyang merged, they transformed into the Taiji Divine Spirit.
Lin Yuan’s aura quietly surged.
The world within his body rapidly expanded, reaching a size of five light-years in diameter.
In theory, the combat power of the Taiji Divine Spirit should be on par with the true body.
But the true body had absorbed too many advantages, in particular the twice infusion from the Chaos Void Origin.
This caused the true body’s inner world to reach a staggering size of eleven light-years in diameter.
“Slash.”
The Taiyin Divine Spirit that had rushed over not only merged with the Taiyang Divine Spirit, becoming the Taiji Divine Spirit with significantly increased strength and foundation.
It also carried with it several twelfth-layer weapons.
The combination of all these factors caused the Taiji Divine Spirit’s combat power to reach an unprecedented level.
Humming sounds~
A silver-white war saber tore through time and space, landing on Tianyu Chen’s body.
“What?”
Tianyu Chen’s expression greatly changed. This slash, it penetrated his protective armor, creating a fine crack in his flesh, soul, and inner world.
Although the fine crack was instantly repaired, the next moment Lin Yuan’s second slash also descended.
In the span of a single breath.
Hundreds of slashes landed on Tianyu Chen’s body.
The fine crack was constantly being ripped open, then healed again.
“Not good.”
Tianyu Chen faintly sensed something ominous.
A few hundred slashes didn’t much affect him, but what about a few thousand? Or tens of thousands?
If it were a clash with another twelfth-layer being, Tianyu Chen would naturally not fear, even ready to exchange blow for blow.
But Lin Yuan?
He, Tianyu Chen, simply couldn’t touch Lin Yuan.
That is to say.
At the moment, Tianyu Chen was nothing but a punching bag.
Exchange blow for blow?
There was no such thing happening.
Tianyu Chen exhaled lightly, then gave Lin Yuan a deep glance, his figure gradually becoming illusory, and then disappeared.
…
The vast river of time.
On its banks.
Tianyu Chen’s towering figure appeared.
Compared to eleventh-layer beings, the most significant trait of twelfth-layer beings is their ability to break free from the shackles of the river of time and reside permanently on its banks.
Therefore.
To resist the Galaxy Master’s attacks, the simplest way is to enter the space of the river of time and stand on its banks.
No matter how powerful the attacks of the Galaxy Master, as long as they don’t surpass the twelfth-layer, they can’t threaten those on the banks, just as life within a painting cannot touch anything outside the canvas.
“Galaxy Master!”
Tianyu Chen pronounced each word with emphasis, as being forced into the space of the river of time by a mere eleventh-layer being was an unprecedented humiliation for him.
“All-out war. We must instigate an all-out war. We absolutely can’t let the Galaxy Master successfully push for the ultimate.”
Tianyu Chen, overlooking the tranquil river of time, made up his mind.
While it was impossible to prevent the Galaxy Master from reaching the ultimate, they could, however, use the outbreak of a full-scale war with human civilization to affect the Galaxy Master’s mentality as he pushes for the ultimate.
Since the hatred between both parties was irreconcilable, Tianyu Chen no longer cared about the consequences of a full-scale war.
With that thought.
Tianyu Chen was about to use the space of the river of time as a ‘transfer point’ to return to the Tianyu Clan’s territory to discuss strategies with other twelfth-layer ultimate beings of his race.
Moreover, Tianyu Chen planned to contact other peak clan powers to unite and attack human civilization collectively.
Suddenly.
At this moment.
The previously calm river of time, without any noise or indication, began to ripple slightly.
The next instant!
A long, powerful right hand suddenly reached out from the river of time.
It immediately grasped Tianyu Chen’s ankle.
Then.
With a swift pull downward.
