The Dumbfounded Venerable Was in Tears!
The Ancestor God Secret Realm, the Feng Tian Domain.
In the void, a crystal palace transformed into a purple stream of light and flew through the air, heading deeper into the void.
"Although we have reached the Feng Tian Domain, it will still take a long time to reach the Initial Star." Lin Yan sat on the throne in the Palace of Lingguang Purple Qi, gazing at the void outside.
Although he knew the exact coordinates of the Initial Star, it was already close to the Core Land of the Feng Tian Domain. Even the Universe Overlord wouldn't dare to teleport directly like that, so Lin Yan certainly wouldn't dare either. At most, he could only travel to the inner perimeter and then fly slowly to the rest of the way on his own.
The time spent on this alone is estimated to be over several decades.
"Let's use this time to let the Xue Qiao Clone handle the challenge matters... Anyway, as long as we are in the Ancestor God Secret Realm, we can connect to the Glory World. 10.91 million challenge letters, even if the stake is 1 Glory Points, can give me more than 100,000 inheritance opportunities."
Lin Yan pursed his lips.
He possesses exceptional talent in the laws of Time Fusion Law and Mu Kong Fusion Law, while his abilities in the other six are relatively ordinary. While it's true that he could surpass most of the inheritors of Purple Thorn Island, it's unrealistic to expect him to fully comprehend them.
However, as long as one obtains these numerous opportunities for inheritance, the superiority of external cultivation resources is enough to make up for this deficiency.
"Master, we have received an email from King Li Shuo," Wind Queen reminded him.
"Hmm?" Lin Yan opened the email.
"Has the King Fei Jing revealed my identity as the 'Heavenly Demon King'?" Lin Yan raised an eyebrow. "Besides this, he hasn't mentioned a word of other information. It seems he's still not giving up on the Supreme Treasure I possess."
He shook his head and smiled, not taking it to heart.
For Lin Yan, his strength was close to that of an ordinary Universe Venerable. Whether his identity as the "Heavenly Demon King" was exposed or not had no impact. As for Supreme Treasure... he had Soul Supreme Treasure and Top-tier Supreme Treasure Palace. Unless he encountered a powerhouse above the level of Universe Overlord, escaping would not be difficult.
Whether Lin Yan's situation is dangerous or not, the information from a few Ordinary Supreme Treasure will not have much impact.
"These inheritors are constantly indulging in self-deception within the Glory World. Now I'm giving you this opportunity; let's see if you can seize it." A sharp glint flashed in Lin Yan's eyes.
In the universe, fame must be matched by strength.
If they don't submit, just beat them until they do.
Glory World, Open-air Plaza.
Since the King Fei Jing revealed the secret, these inheritors have begun to study various information about the "Heavenly Demon King".
"According to the records, the Heavenly Demon King appeared on the Outer Domain Battlefield shortly after the news that 'King Xuanyuan is the human Lin Yan' was spread. At first, it was thought that he only had the strength of Feng Wang Limit expert, but he made three moves in the Illusion Moon Sacred Tower... demonstrating the Invincible Feng Wang, killing the Demon Race Ghost Mound King. Since then, he has not appeared again..."
"Judging from the combat power shown in the battle video, the Heavenly Demon King has a very high level of skill in fusing the Mu Kong with the Path of the Beast God. His swordsmanship is absolutely exquisite."
"Could King Fei Jing said be true? Have we all fallen into King Xuanyuan's trap?"
These inheritors, who used to be so cheerful, are no longer happy.
Assuming they knew this beforehand, or even just suspected it, the number of inheritors willing to challenge King Xuanyuan would not have exceeded ten thousand.
Each Glory Points is hard-earned, and the inheritors cherish it greatly.
"Whether it's true or false, now that King Xuanyuan has accepted the challenge, we'll soon find out. It's no use regretting it now!"
"No matter what, we have cultivated on Purple Thorn Island for a long time. Even if the Heavenly Demon King really is him, he may be relying on Supreme Treasure. We may not necessarily lose."
"Fight! I refuse to believe I can't win!"
The die is cast; even if you want to withdraw now, your Glory Points will be deducted.
They all stand at the very top of the King level Immortal ranks, and are all unparalleled geniuses from all over the universe. Naturally, they are all proud and still believe that they have the strength to win.
Glory World, Battle World.
In the endless snowstorm.
Lin Yan was clad in golden armor, his boots treading on the snow. In his hand was only an ancient, dark blue -Black Battle Saber, all of which were simulated in the Battle World of Glory World, and their strength was similar to some weapons commonly used by King level Immortal warriors.
He gazed into the distance and saw a rock monster that looked like it had a ferocious dragon's head.
The rock monster stared at Lin Yan in the distance, its eyes flashing with ferocity. "King Xuanyuan! Your little tricks may fool others, but they can't fool me! Remember my title! After this battle, all the inheritors of Purple Thorn Island will know that it was I, King Yuanqi... who bestowed upon you a crushing defeat in the Battle World!"
"Enough with the nonsense." Lin Yan glanced at him indifferently. "I rarely remember the names of my defeated opponents; there's no need for that."
"Is that so?" As a terrifying aura soared into the sky, the rock monster roared, "Then I will tear you apart completely!"
"One cut."
Lin Yan said softly.
Boom!
His entire body's aura surged dramatically.
"A divine body with 100,000 times the World Lord Power." He sensed his powerful divine body in the virtual world. "Once I use the Divine Body Amplitude Secret Method and Divine Power Burning, it will be several times stronger than my real-world limit."
His Divine Body Amplitude reached 50 times, making him absolutely top-tier among all the immortal inheritors on Purple Thorn Island.
Lin Yan has not yet become an immortal. Even with all his methods, the power he can wield is still inferior to that of an ordinary Peak Feng Wang Immortal Divine Body. This feeling... makes him have an even stronger desire to break through.
"Laugh!"
A dazzling blue light streaked across the sky.
Beautiful and ethereal.
"No!" The huge pupils of the ferocious dragon-headed rock monster were filled with disbelief and rage. He could not believe that, under the same conditions of divine body and treasures, he was so vulnerable in front of King Xuanyuan. This strike was an unparalleled strike!
Boom!
His divine body was completely Annihilation and he was kicked out of the Battle World.
"It's so easy." Lin Yan stood in the wind and snow, his left hand gently stroking his War Blade.
Compared to barely reaching the threshold of "Peak Ultimate Skill" two thousand years ago, he has now not only barely reached the Fourth Layer level of the Beast God Artistic Conception, but his secret techniques have also evolved to the point where they can be called "super Peak Ultimate Skill".
This first opponent was only of average ability among the Third Level Inheritor. There was a huge gap in terms of Law Comprehension, the Divine Body Amplitude, and secret techniques. Naturally, he had no power to resist.
Wow!
A figure has reappeared in the Battle World.
The second battle begins!
The battle continued.
However, the open-air plaza of the Glory World was in an uproar. Lin Yan's battle record could be seen by the other Alien Race inheritors simply by looking at the Black Book. On the Third Level Inheritor list, it was clearly written that he had won and lost.
"3112 wins and 0 losses".
All the inheritors were going crazy watching the battle record soar like a rocket, with the record jumping up every few seconds.
"A monster, a true monster! This King Xuanyuan is too strong, how could he be this strong? He has fought over 3,000 battles so far and has never been defeated. This is Battle World, under the same conditions without any external assistance, and he can only use the Fusion Law, yet he is still so strong. This, this is simply..."
"Who would have thought that he was hiding such a skill under the guise of the 'Heavenly Demon King'? I even think that his Path of the Wood Beast God is even stronger than his usual 'Path of Space-Time'. It's laughable how everyone questioned him when he first came to the Ancestor God Cult!"
"No wonder he was able to unlock the three great treasures, no wonder he received special treatment from the Ancestor God Cult. King Xuanyuan was hiding his true strength so well!"
These inheritors felt that their worldview had been refreshed.
"The tens of millions of inheritors who challenged him this time should just admit defeat. He must have made a fortune in Glory Points this time. As far as I know, a large number of inheritors couldn't even withstand a single strike from him. He's too strong, just too strong."
"Stop talking, just give away the Glory Points. Even King Xuluo lost, I'm completely convinced. King Xuanyuan's strength is definitely among the top 100 of the hundreds of millions of Immortal Inheritors on Purple Thorn Island, and he can stand at the very top of the Third Level Inheritor in the Battle World!"
"Top 100? Do you remember who exposed the identity of the Heavenly Demon King? The attitude of the King Fei Jing was very irritable at the time. I suspect that even he suffered a loss at the hands of the King Xuanyuan."
"The King Fei Jing is Special Lifeform with Life Gene Level 2000 times higher, that's impossible."
"If King Xuanyuan is this strong in the Battle World, how could he lack Supreme Treasure in reality? Everyone witnessed that the assassination attempt by Venerable Zhong Mei failed."
"Yes, it's true that Special Lifeform forms are extraordinary, but King Xuanyuan is even more extraordinary. King Fei Jing may not be his match."
Although the inheritors of various races in the universe cherished their Glory Points and were unwilling to accept it, the facts were right in front of them, and it was too late for regrets.
After this battle, Lin Yan could be considered to have completely conquered the countless inheritors on Purple Thorn Island.
In terms of talent, opportunities, and strength, he is an unattainable figure. Even in the most unfavorable Battle World for King Xuanyuan, he still won every battle, personally defeating one inheritor after another, and reaching the pinnacle of the Third Level Inheritor. Who can disagree with him?
These repeated shocks led them to develop a blind faith in King Xuanyuan, believing him to be omnipotent.
The Virtual Universe, the mountainside of Thunder Island is almost boundless.
In front of the Palace Cluster of True Yan Venerable, three figures were sitting there, drinking and chatting.
King Tong Nan picked up his wine cup, took a small sip, and then looked at True Yan Venerable and asked, "Zhen Yan, why do you seem a bit strange today?"
"Yes, Zhen Yan, you've just broken through to the Universe Venerable, and you've also received the Beast God Inheritance Token from your clan and entered the Ancestor God Cult. You're riding high right now, so why are you so hesitant to speak today? It's not like you at all," the Longyu King, clad in azure armor, teased.
They had known each other for millions of years, sharing life and death, and were Zhen Yan friends. They knew Zhen Yan very well, and could tell he had something on his mind just by looking at him.
"Alas, you don't know..." True Yan Venerable sighed, "This matter is related to Lin Yan."
"Lin Yan?" King Tong Nan was slightly taken aback. "Haven't you been with the Ancestor God Cult all this time? How did you get involved with Lin Yan?"
"Do you remember when we went to the Illusion Moon Sacred Tower last time?" True Yan Venerable scratched the back of his head, looking somewhat embarrassed. "The Heavenly Demon King we encountered back then was Lin Yan!"
"What?"
"How... how is this possible?"
Both King Tong Nan and Longyu King showed expressions of astonishment.
The Heavenly Demon King, who killed the Demon King of the Demon Race Ghost Mound King, naturally left a deep impression on them. In addition to his astonishing strength, he only touched the opponent's hand when they fought. It is said that he also saved the King Meng Sui in the Illusion Moon Sacred Tower. His mysterious identity arouses curiosity.
But... Lin Yan?
True Yan Venerable was not surprised by their appearance; in fact, he was the most shocked of all.
It's true what they say, "The gossip has backfired on me."
Who would have thought that after being dormant in Chaos City for billions of years, the first powerful enemy he encountered in his first encounter would be Lin Yan? And he hadn't even fought him before!
He was initially pleased with himself for breaking through to the Universe Venerable realm, thinking that at least he had broken through to the Venerable realm before Lin Yan, thus saving face a little. He never expected that something like this would happen.
Lin Yan, who has cultivated for four thousand years, began to attack me. I was defeated?
The dumbfounded Venerable One felt ashamed.
"Didn't you say that the sword technique used by the Heavenly Demon King contained the Path of the Beast God? But Lin Yan doesn't cultivate the Path of the Beast God at all," said King Tong Nan.
"Before this, I couldn't believe it either." True Yan Venerable smiled bitterly and recounted the whole story, from the Treasure Land to the assassination attempt by the Universe Venerable, and finally to the large-scale battle in the Glory World.
"He must have used Supreme Treasure to conceal his life force and deceive all of us!" True Yan Venerable shook his head. "To date, he has fought more than 200,000 battles in the Glory World and has never lost a single one."
"For so many years, Lin Yan has kept a low profile because of the threat from the Alien Race. Only now do I realize that his dazzling aura in the past was just the tip of the Iceberg." He couldn't help but sigh.
King Tong Nan and Longyu King exchanged a glance, then burst out laughing at the same time.
"Doesn't that mean that Zhen Yan, your breakthrough to the Universe Venerable realm was all because of Lin Yan?" King Tong Nan smiled.
True Yan Venerable Zhenyan blushed. "That is indeed the case."
He had originally planned to express his gratitude when he met the Heavenly Demon King, but he never expected it to be such a cunning bastard as Lin Yan.
Thanks? Tear it away, that's it!
"My own precious disciple is still the most considerate. At least he won't hide his identity and use me as practice." True Yan Venerable Zhenyan was moved to tears. "However, it seems that Luo Feng has turned off the Virtual Universe reception for a while. He even left me an auto-reply email saying that he is in seclusion for cultivation."
"Luo Feng earned the title of 'King Daohe' at the World Lord level. Even the Chaos City Lord personally told me that this is a top secret and must not be revealed to outsiders. He will surely be able to stir up Great Wind in the Ancestor God Cult in the future."
True Yan Venerable secretly looked forward to it.
When Lin Yan's news reached the major Super Power, the powerful figures were equally bewildered.
Normally, they might not encounter a single piece of news worth alarming even after cultivating in seclusion for tens of millions of epochs. But ever since the emergence of the King Xuanyuan, the intelligence departments of various forces have been working non-stop, wishing they could have no days off and enjoy the "blessing of 996" ahead of time.
It vibrates the universe every day; this must be a cosmic vibration device!
Within the Demon Race territory.
A gigantic, two-headed serpentine shadow crouched before the Heavenly Wolf Hall, its voice echoing throughout the space and time. "The Ancestor God Cult has sent word to our clan's inheritors that the human King Xuanyuan has fought tens of millions of battles, and has now fought over 200,000 battles without ever being defeated. The Heavenly Demon King who killed our clan's Ghost Mound King was none other than him in disguise."
"Compared to countless peerless geniuses of various races, the human King Xuanyuan is also so heaven-defying in terms of the Beast God Inheritance." The Lord Tian Lang's green eyes revealed killing intent. "His Law Comprehension is probably very, very close to that of Universe Venerable."
"What should we do?" the giant snake shadow asked.
"The Venerable Zhao Shi is dead, and the Ancestor God Cult's attitude is so resolute, what else can we do?" The Lord Tian Lang's eyes flashed with cunning. "We passed on the news that he was the Heavenly Demon King to the Evil Wing Cult Master of the 'Crown King Serpent of the Stars' Clan. Hasn't he been looking for the murderer who killed his son? We've helped him find him."
The Lord Tian Lang is currently unable to carry out his plan to cause trouble for Lin Yan within the Ancestor God Cult, but he can still create obstacles for Lin Yan. The Evil Wing Cult Master is Universe Overlord, ruthless and protective of his own, and has a lot of resources at his disposal, which is beneficial to resolving the plan of the human King Xuanyuan.
"Yes," the giant snake shadow replied respectfully.
He was then directly teleported out of this space-time by the Lord Tian Lang.
"King Xuanyuan".
The Lord Tian Lang stood Heavenly Wolf Hall, his killing intent palpable. He sensed that the human King Xuanyuan was becoming an increasingly formidable threat. "Whether it Path of Space-Time or the Path of the Beast God, he has such profound attainments. This human's talent will surely make him a super strong figure among the human race in the future, and he may even become the Lord of the Universe."
"He is still immortal, but that's still a long way off. He can't stay in the Ancestor God Cult and the Human territory forever."
"Wait, if I get the chance, I will personally descend to completely eliminate this major threat to the future of the Demon Race!"
Neither the Zerg, the Demon Race, nor the Mechanical race took any other measures; they simply raised their assessment of Lin Yan's threat level once again.
But he was ultimately just an immortal, far from being a master of the universe, and naturally not worth the enormous costs incurred by the major clans to assassinate him at the hands of the Ancestor God Cult Sect.
Meanwhile, Lin Yan was advancing towards the "Initial Star" while fighting in the Glory World. These countless battles were against unparalleled geniuses from various races in the universe, which gave him more insights into the fusion of Mu Kong with the Path of the Beast God. He was getting closer and closer to the third level of perfection.
The Green Line Devouring Worm Clone continuously digested the lessons learned from these battles and conducted further research.
"Boom!"
In the Battle World, even the starry sky seemed to have been cut into pieces of paper. Lin Yan looked at the surging aftershocks of divine power in the distance, and the cyan- Black Battle Saber in his hand disappeared instantly.
It took him nearly thirty years to finally end a total of ten million battles.
With Lin Yan's Divine Body Amplitude, Law Comprehension, and secret techniques, he is simply invincible among the Third Level Inheritor! There are indeed some immortal inheritors who can surpass him, after all, there are several heaven-defying geniuses who have created Ultimate Secret Technique, but they have already reached the third level of perfection and are listed as Fourth Level Inheritor.
Lin Yan disappeared from the Glory World.
After thirty years, Palace of Lingguang Purple Qi is about to reach its destination. They can even feel the temperature difference. Even though there is still a long distance between them, the temperature here is enough to vaporize a Cosmic level expert!
"The Initial Star has arrived!"
