Five Hundred Years!
Time passed, and more than a month had gone by since Lin Xiao left Earth.
The secret chamber for cultivation.
Lin Yan sat cross-legged, eyes closed and motionless. In front of him floated a pale Golden Battle Armor, about eight meters tall, radiating a gentle Divine Radiance.
Suddenly--
Boom!
The golden Divine Radiance became dazzling and icy cold, with endless light flowing and changing in the empty cultivation chamber, naturally exuding a heavy aura.
Lin Yan slowly opened his eyes, stood up, his gaze slightly narrowed as he stared at the pale Golden Battle Armor.
Call!
The pale Golden Battle Armor seemed to be summoned by an incredibly strong force, instantly transforming into a golden stream of light that rushed directly into Lin Yan's body. After entering, it transformed into countless golden threads that merged into every part of Lin Yan's body, completely fusing with his muscles and internal organs.
"Heavenly Heart Armor, Condense!" he shouted in a low voice.
Immediately, a layer of gold began to rapidly condense on his body, quickly spreading throughout his entire body, while a set of Light Golden Armor appeared on Lin Yan's skin.
The streamlined armor was full of fluidity, radiating a shimmering glow like stars.
"Clang!"
Amidst the resounding metallic clangs, Lin Yan's golden armor rang out, emitting countless golden rays, shimmering and dazzling. Golden boots automatically appeared on his feet, a Golden Mask appeared on his face, and a helmet appeared on his head.
He stretched out his right hand and grasped an ancient sword that was entirely golden in the air. One side of the sword was engraved with the sun, moon and stars, while the other side was engraved with mountains, rivers and plants. It exuded a terrifying and sharp aura.
For a moment, Lin Yan resembled an ancient deity, his golden armor radiating light, and his Golden Ancient Sword also shining brilliantly.
"A very good defensive artifact." Lin Yan nodded in satisfaction.
He can gain superhuman strength by using the life of "Parasitism" Immortal Plant Lifeform, but relying solely on the Plant Lifeform armor is not enough.
For example, the Green Line Devouring Worm, now known as the Immortal Mo Yun Vine, can transform into the Mo Yun Battle Suit, which can withstand extremely strong Material Attack. However, even if the Mo Yun Battle Suit is shattered, it can still "Undying Body" and be completely restored. The Green Line Devouring Worm's body, on the other hand, is not strong enough to withstand an Immortal level attack and will be killed instantly.
Even if the clone can be resurrected, this situation should be avoided as much as possible.
While Lin Yan was indeed somewhat envious of the Yan God Clan Battle Armor, which could withstand 90% of Soul Attack and Material Attack and also grant super strength, he was neither a member of the Yan Shen Clan nor had he cultivated the "Nine Tribulations Scripture," so he naturally could not meet the stringent integration requirements for Soldier Armor such as soldier General Armor.
In this case, "Heavenly Heart Armor" would be a good choice.
"With the 'Heavenly Heart Armor' reducing Material Attack by 50%, plus the Plant Lifeform Battle Suit, my strength will be even more formidable after the Life and Death Hone of my World Master era," Lin Yan pondered to himself. "However, this is ultimately just a temporary measure. If I truly want to deal with even stronger opponents, powerful treasures are indispensable!"
According to the rules of the Virtual Universe Company, once a race reaches the World Lord level, it must undergo Life and Death Hone. At that time, the race will no longer be able to rely on a top-tier Universe Overlord to protect its safety, as it is at the Domain Lord level. It will have to rely more on its own strength.
Lin Yan decided to have the Green Line Devouring Worm Clone use the Black Phoenix Armor. Once the Green Line Devouring Worm reaches the World Lord peak, and with the addition of Plant Lifeform, it should be able to activate the first form, reducing Material Attack to one percent and Soul Attack to one-tenth. How powerful would its defensive capabilities be?
It seems that even if one encounters any danger, one can remain fearless, using it as one's greatest trump card for survival.
Lin Yan himself will make do for now, but once he has the opportunity to obtain another precious treasure, he will undoubtedly possess equally formidable combat power.
A thought struck him, "At least from the original story, I know that the 'Purple Bell King' of the Mechanical race has a treasured Purple Bell that he has kept secret all along!"
"Purple Bell King is only at the Peak Feng Wang strength, so this treasure should be easy for him to obtain. He regards it as his biggest secret and has always been extremely cautious. He would never have imagined that anyone would know that he possesses such a treasure. This is my chance."
Lin Yan's eyes brightened slightly. "While the 'Magic Sound Fire God Bell' is certainly not suitable for me to use and cannot unleash its true power, as long as it is integrated into my body, it can withstand more than 90% of Soul Attack and Material Attack. This alone is very valuable to me!"
Even though it's still a long time before he actually steps into the Outer Domain Battlefield, he always plans carefully before acting, so he will naturally think and plan ahead, making good use of the various abilities and information he has, so as to formulate the best plan for himself.
"I'm really looking forward to it." Lin Yan smiled, then closed his eyes again and sat cross-legged.
That bloody and terrifying battlefield between clans is a nightmare for many, but for him, it will be a crucial process for him to transform from a genius into a strongman, so why would he be afraid?
The vast universe is Myriad Races, bizarre and wonderful treasures, and endless super-powerful beings. Battles and slaughter, bones and thrones, all unfold the curtain of heaven and earth, together weaving the true main theme of this Primordial Universe.
That was the life he had always wanted!
We should... forge ahead bravely.
After Lin Yan refined the "Heavenly Heart Armor" himself, he also specially prepared weapons and armor for the Green Line Devouring Worm Clone.
As for King Zhenyu, he had spent many years in the Outer Domain Battlefield, experiencing countless battles and killing numerous Alien Race powerhouses. Therefore, among the treasures he left behind, there were quite a few unprocessed weapons and armor.
The body structure of the Green Line Devouring Worm is quite Special Lifeform.
Its pale silver, streamlined scales are incredibly dense and hard, giving it absolute strong defense. The three pairs of eyes on its head are filled with highly evolved photoreceptors that act as super-sensory retinas, giving it absolute detection capabilities. The four pairs of silver wings on its back, like blades, give it absolute agility and speed!
Whether it's the Blade Wings, the sharp claws in its mouth, or the claws on the edges of its forelimbs, they are all extremely lethal. The most terrifying of all are its pair of forelimbs, which are like War Blade, making it a pure killing machine!
But this is not its final evolved form. What is even more undeniable is that its talent and abilities in the soul are even more terrifying.
Therefore... its physical strength alone is enough to far surpass those many weapons and armors.
However, the current Green Line Devouring Worm is only at the Domain Lord level, but it has the strength to be granted the Marquis by possessing the Plant Lifeform. In the future, it is foreseeable that it will be facing great treasures and Supreme Treasure, so it will naturally not be possible to continue as before.
Previously, Lin Yan had only given it the telekinetic weapon "Divine Weapon Blade" to ensure its strongest combat power. Now that it has begun to study the Path of the Beast God and is exploring the Cosmic Secret Realm, it is a good opportunity to make up for the Green Line Devouring Worm's shortcomings through this harvest.
With the help of the Intelligent life form Bai Ze, Lin Yan selected a set of armor from among them. It was said to be used by a powerful Demon Race Feng Wang expert, and its reduction effect was also 50%. However, its limit of endurance was much lower than that of the "Heavenly Heart Armor", so it was only worth less than 2 billion Hun Yuan Unit.
There were also two slender War Blade, forged from a blend of expensive G-grade metals, each worth approximately 100 million Hun Yuan Unit. These blades were directly integrated into the forelimbs of the Green Line Devouring Worm, and even the claws on the edges of the forelimbs were found to have a pair of claw sheaths.
They were armed to the extreme!
From then on, the Green Line Devouring Worm once again returned to the Biting Star Belt of the Lingdi Secret Realm in the Mu Xing Universe Country through the Divine Kingdom Teleportation, seeking to make good use of the remaining two opportunities at the Domain Lord level.
Speaking of which, the three fortuitous opportunities at the Cosmic level that brought Lin Yan wealth of hundreds of billions of Hun Yuan Unit have already made him extremely happy.
Lin Yan had only hoped to find a treasure of comparable value among the four opportunities available to him at the Domain Lord level, and he felt the chances were slim.
Unexpectedly, these were just two fortuitous opportunities: the "inheritance of Sacrifice Secret Pattern" and the "Treasure of the Mountain Sea Realm Lord." Both were major encounters whose value could only be measured as "Supreme Treasure"!
This further fueled Lin Yan's fighting spirit.
The Initial Universe, Chaos City.
In one of the Cultivation Residence in this ancient city, Lin Yan, dressed in black, sat cross-legged on the rooftop, just like many other ascetic cultivators.
"I have already comprehended the Fourth Diagram of the Universe Chaos Stele, the 'Twin Star Map,' and the fifth diagram, the 'Starry Sky Map.' Next is the sixth diagram, the 'Star River Map.' Once I comprehend it, my Law Comprehension will reach the Tongtian Bridge 18th Layer!"
Tongtian Bridge 18th Layer is already comparable to becoming King Rank, allowing one to become a permanent resident of Chaos City and establish a sect within Chaos City!
Theoretically speaking, once he becomes Permanent Resident of Chaos City, no one will interfere with him even if he doesn't undergo the Life and Death Hone at the World Lord level.
But this was precisely the prerequisite for the Chaos City Lord to allow him to undergo Life and Death Hone.
"In addition, to continue cultivating the Golden Framework, I also need to master the second level of the Primordial Beginning. These are all guarantees of my combat strength."
"Once everything goes smoothly with the Green Line Devouring Worm Clone, and I can activate the remaining two opportunities, I will be able to directly break through to the World Master, causing a true qualitative change in my strength!"
Given the Life Gene Level of his true self and his clones, and his achievements in the Amplitude Secret Method, once he reaches the World Lord peak, his strength will reach an unbelievable level.
Lin Yan, dressed in black, smiled, then stopped thinking about it and devoted himself to cultivation.
In August of the Huaxia Calendar, the Xue Qiao Clone began to formally comprehend the sixth diagram of the "Universe Chaos Stele". Whenever he comprehended the Chaos Stele or cultivated the "Golden Framework", he would ensure that all three bodies were in absolute safety and that his consciousness was completely immersed in it.
Occasionally, he would also try to comprehend the Space-Time Fusion Law contained in the seventh picture, the "Chaos" monster picture.
This fluctuation of law is different from any of the laws of metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, lightning, light, time, and space. It is extremely subtle even in the Universe Chaos Stele, and almost impossible to sense in the Primordial Universe. Lin Yan was very fortunate to have such Supreme Treasure as the Universe Chaos Stele and such a magical secret technique as the Black Hole Sacred Body, which allowed him to comprehend even a trace of it.
For Lin Yan, cultivation is naturally far less difficult than the Green Line Devouring Worm comprehending the Path of the Beast God. Firstly, it is too difficult, and secondly, he does not have the conditions that the Green Line Devouring Worm can comprehend the Beast God Carving at any time. So far, his level has not changed much and has little impact on his combat power.
However, whenever Lin Yan deciphers the "Chaos" monster diagram, it brings him a lot of inspiration.
The spirit and consciousness were drawn into the Universe Chaos Stele, which gave them more insights into their own path, thus enabling the cultivation of the Universe Chaos Stele, the "Primordial Beginning" and the Path of the Beast God to mutually promote each other.
In the Primordial Universe.
In the year 2418 of the Huaxia Calendar, Lin Xiao returned to Earth for the first time. More than 30 years have passed, and he has become a sixth-level Cosmic level being. His Star Eater Grass has also been cultivated to the peak of the Cosmic level. During this time, he joined the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance and carried out various mercenary missions, showing significant growth.
The Superhuman Bloodline itself is incredibly gifted. Although he cannot fuse with the "Light Web Crystal" like Lin Yan, thus having his talent modified and his consciousness arriving at the Origin Land ahead of time, Lin Yan has still used quite a few treasures on him, making his compatibility with the laws even stronger.
So these thirty-odd years have been enough for him to stand out and be noticed by the higher-ups of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance Ganwu Branch. He was recruited into a Special Elite Training Camp and will soon be heading to the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance All-Universe Headquarters.
If you perform well in the Training Camp, you will be eligible to enter the Core Layer.
However, unlike other forces, even if you enter the Core Layer, you are only on the outermost edge of the Core Layer. The Cosmic Mercenary Alliance has the highest degree of freedom. If the potential shown is noticed by the headquarters, you may be able to enter the core "Glory Secret Realm" directly.
Of course, such examples are not many.
In the year 2442 of the Huaxia Calendar, after 24 years of training, Lin Xiao was absorbed into the Core Layer and given the opportunity to cultivate in the Chaos City of the Initial Universe for thirty years, equivalent to 100 years in the Primordial Universe.
After truly stepping into the core of the human race, from the very first day he set foot in Chaos City, the name "Lin Yan" began to be heard constantly. Only then did he truly understand what kind of existence his father was among the billions of human races in this vast universe.
Someone even directed him to gaze at the Cultivation Residence of the Strongest Human Genius from afar. Even though he had been given prior notice and was mentally prepared, his expression was still quite interesting.
However, he never revealed any relationship with Lin Yan.
As Holy Land for cultivation, Chaos City must have spies from other Alien Race. However, with the Chaos City Lord present, they will not show any abnormalities. Lin Yan is already under much scrutiny, and if the Alien Race find out about their relationship, it will only increase the danger to Lin Xiao.
In the year 2542 of the Huaxia Calendar, Lin Xiao cultivated the "Cosmic Extreme Chaos Stele," taking the path of analyzing the essence of the Time Law. He became an apprentice of "King Xuan Jing," a Feng Wang expert in the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance who was close to Invincible Feng Wang. During his 30-year journey through Chaos City, he successfully crossed the sixth level of the Tongtian Bridge.
This was an extremely rare achievement for both the Virtual Universe Company and the Giant Axe Arena, and even more so for the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance. Ultimately, they achieved their goal and, with special permission from headquarters, successfully entered the core "Glory Secret Realm".
In the year 2564 of the Huaxia Calendar, Luo Feng, after cultivating in the Golden Horn Clan's habitat for 183 years, chose to leave, Earthling True Body as they returned to Earth.
In the year 2589 of the Huaxia Calendar, Luo Feng completed the Highest Points Mission at the Domain Lord level, stepped down Ganwu Universe Country Inspection Envoy, and applied to enter Chaos City for cultivation. The Virtual Universe Company approved his application.
In the year 2610 of the Huaxia Calendar, thanks to the unremitting efforts of Comrade Lin Yan, Wen Zhi'an gave birth to his second son, "Lin Du".
Compared to Lin Xiao's decisiveness, Lin Du's temperament is more gentle. Lin Yan doesn't have any opinion on this. Everyone has their own nature, and everyone's path is different. There is no need to force it.
However, as time went on, it was discovered that he showed a very strong interest and talent in "studying various strange substances in the universe".
Lin Yan gained a great deal from the Knowledge Repository of the Mu Xing Universe Country, particularly in the area of "alchemists." He found a vast amount of knowledge and classic texts. In order to correctly integrate his Law Comprehension into the toxins of the Green Line Devouring Worm and form a unique and ingenious secret technique, Lin Yan devoted a lot of energy to this aspect.
Although it might be a waste for Lin Du to take these unconventional paths given his talent, Lin Yan didn't care.
Actually, to be precise, Wen Zhi'an's situation is similar.
Her experiences from childhood had made her accustomed to this way of life, and even after absorbing the Spirit Marrow elves and undergoing a tremendous transformation in her talent, she still loved these things.
Interest is the best teacher.
In fact, Lin Yan had a deeper understanding of "pharmacists" and vaguely knew that the so-called "unorthodox" path was not because it was actually unorthodox, but because this path of cultivation was cut off.
Even the Primordial Universe will experience destruction time and time again over endless years. Some cultivation paths once flourished to their peak and produced extremely powerful individuals, but with time, they will also wither away. In fact, since the birth of this Primordial Universe, no one has ever walked through it.
Lin Yan felt that with him around, if they were to obtain the ancient inheritance of the Origin Continent in the future, this so-called "unorthodox path" might not be unable to lead to a new path to heaven.
In the year 2887 of the Huaxia Calendar, Lin Xiao returned to Earth.
Up to this point, in the past five hundred years in the Primordial Universe, Earth was in the early stages of the development of a cultivation civilization, undergoing rapid and dramatic changes.
Meanwhile, in that distant, ancient Chaos City, 150 years later, the Xue Qiao Clone still sat cross-legged on the rooftop, looking up at the Laws of Cosmic Operation manifested in some Space Rift high in the sky.
