The Passage of Time

In the void.

"Ah!!! You bastard!"

The eyes of Venerable Zi Ya and King Fei Jing were filled with shock and anger.

They couldn't believe that the human King Xuanyuan, who had been forced to flee eight thousand years ago, had returned and completely defeated them head-on. He even had Split Spirit body Annihilation under the attack and was injured instantly.

The situation of Venerable Zi Ya was relatively good, but King Fei Jing was in a more tragic state. He was facing the "Celestial Origin Wheel," which was comparable to the power of High-class Supreme Treasure. As a result, even with the protection of the Supreme Treasure Armor, 1.6% of his divine body was still Annihilation!

This is incredible!

Eight thousand years is far too short a time for them, so how could the King Xuanyuan have progressed so quickly?

One of them is Universe Venerable, and the other is Defying Heaven Special Lifeform with two thousand times the Life Gene Level. How could they possibly lose to a human King level Immortal?

"So weak." Lin Yan, standing in the distant void, had a frighteningly sharp gaze. "You couldn't even withstand a single move from me, yet you dare to say I'm doomed today. I truly admire your courage!"

After eight thousand years of refinement and accumulation, his self-created secret techniques were able to defeat the 2000th opponent set up by the Primordial Ancestor, reaching the level of Ultimate Technique! His powerful will rivals that of Universe Overlord, and his psychic weapons can unleash the power of High-class Supreme Treasure!

Although his Law Comprehension and his divine body are somewhat inferior to those of Universe Venerable, they complement each other, and he is close to Intermediate Universe Venerable!

"Arrogant humans!" King Fei Jing roared through gritted teeth, his face contorted with rage.

"King Xuanyuan! I will remember this grudge." A cold glint flashed in Venerable Zi Ya's eyes, and he immediately transformed into a stream of light, attempting to escape.

Aside from his heaven-defying Talent Secret Method, King Fei Jing's offensive capabilities are average. However, with his powerful divine body and defensive Supreme Treasure, he is strong enough to withstand ordinary Universe Venerable. Even King Fei Jing was injured by the human King Xuanyuan's psychic weapon attack, which clearly shows that his strength is far above his own.

Continuing the fight will only bring harm, not benefit.

"Trying to escape? Not so easy!" Lin Yan grinned.

"Azure Star River!"

"Law Domain!"

"Fusion - Azure Star River Domain!"

He activated the top-tier Domain Supreme Treasure "Azure Star River" with his burning divine power. The divine power consumed seemed to be free, and instantly the surrounding 30 million kilometers were completely immersed in the vast star river.

"That wretched King Xuanyuan!"

"You forced me to do this... My divine body is much larger than yours. At worst, we'll fight a war of attrition. Hmph, I'll see if your tiny divine body can withstand this kind of strain!" King Fei Jing was trapped in the "Azure Star River Domain" and faced numerous obstacles, yet he appeared quite insane.

"You're welcome to try!" Lin Yan didn't even glance at him.

It must be said that King Fei Jing's plan was not wrong. If he were really Human Immortal God, he would die even faster if he tried to kill King Fei Jing!

Is Lin Yan truly Human Immortal God?

To wage a war of attrition is an unreasonable demand! He'd like to see how many lives the King Fei Jing has to last against him!

Boom!

The phantom of Giant Axe, radiating endless black light, enveloped the world. Both Venerable Zi Ya and King Fei Jing, who witnessed this scene once again, felt a chill run down their spines.

"Swallowing Heaven Devouring Earth!"

The King Fei Jing roared and swung his claws. Even the resistance of the Azure Star River Domain could not stop this claw. A huge blood-red Claw Shadow condensed in the surrounding Universe Space, as if it were a real thing.

"Wing Slicing Imperial Blade— " Venerable Zi Ya's six pairs of black wings transformed into layers upon layers of jet-black blade light!

"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"

Impact after impact!

Lin Yan stood coldly in the void, exchanging blows with Venerable Zi Ya and King Fei Jing. This was the Mental Master; no close combat was required, and everything was under control.

The speed of the telekinetic Supreme Treasure was extremely fast. Even Lin Yan, who possessed the Void Wings, could not dodge it, let alone the two trapped inside the treasure's domain. These two originally powerful figures were completely suppressed and beaten. Every time the axe light swept past, they had no way to dodge!

He could only watch as the black axe light descended time and time again, causing his divine body to be continuously consumed!

Glory World, Open-air Plaza.

When Luo Feng appeared out of thin air, he immediately attracted the attention of countless inheritors in the open-air square.

"Look, it's the King Daohe."

"King Daohe is still alive? It is said that King Xuanyuan started fighting the Northern Frontier Alliance because of King Daohe."

"It has long been rumored that King Daohe is the human genius Luo Feng... If the rumors are true, it is not surprising that King Xuanyuan would do this, since he and Luo Feng are close friends who rose to prominence in the same year's Genius Battle."

Luo Feng was somewhat bewildered by their stares. He had been on Purple Thorn Island for nearly a thousand years, and even after the challenges subsided and he entered the Glory World, only a small number of inheritors would notice him. He had never been surrounded by them as if they had seen a rare treasure before.

From their conversation, Luo Feng gleaned some information.

Is the King Xuanyuan fighting against the Northern Frontier Alliance?

Lin Yan?

"Blade River." In a corner of the open-air plaza, King Chaman shouted.

Luo Feng quickly walked towards the Hong Alliance Group.

"What happened?" Luo Feng walked directly to King Chaman's table and sat down, asking.

"Blade River, I heard you were being hunted by King Fei Jing and had nowhere to escape, so you were trapped in the Nine Nether Vortex?" King Chaman shut out the surrounding sounds and then whispered among himself.

Luo Feng was immediately startled.

He had just fallen into the dangerous Nine Nether Vortex, and the news had already spread. Could it be that the message was sent by the King Fei Jing?

"I was trapped in that Nine Nether Vortex and ended up in a dangerous place where teleportation and Divine Kingdom Teleportation are impossible. I am still struggling. My teacher said that if I really can't escape the pursuit, the only option is to Reverse Space-Time to be resurrected," Luo Feng said in a low voice.

This dangerous place is indeed a desperate situation, full of powerful figures, but the claim of Reverse Space-Time is a lie, because he has not yet been assassinated due to the influence of the time-space reversal, and his Clone Talent has not yet been exposed.

However, Luo Feng dared not die here, as he was carrying the core crystal of the Star Tower, which he absolutely could not afford to lose.

"Tell me quickly what's going on. What's the story behind the battle between King Xuanyuan and the Northern Frontier Alliance?" Luo Feng pressed.

"That's how it is," King Chaman said. "Right after you were chased by King Fei Jing and trapped in the Nine Nether Vortex, King Xuanyuan actually went directly to the outside of the Nine Nether Space-Time and started fighting with Venerable Zi Ya and King Fei Jing!"

"What?" Luo Feng stared in shock.

When he encountered King Fei Jing, he was meeting Lin Yan in the Virtual Universe. He hurriedly logged off, and Lin Yan ended up rushing directly to the Nine Nether Space-Time because of this.

Lin Yan did indeed know that he was searching for the World Tree in the Nine Nether Space-Time.

Luo Feng felt a surge of emotion, but also a touch of worry.

Venerable Zi Ya and King Fei Jing are both powerful individuals with the combat strength of Universe Venerable. King Fei Jing is especially known for his tracking and pursuit. It would be very dangerous for Lin Yan to encounter them.

Chaman, on the contrary, showed excitement. "No one could have imagined the outcome of this battle!"

"Venerable Zi Ya is Universe Venerable, King Fei Jing is ranked among the top ten among hundreds of millions of immortal inheritors. Both of them are extremely powerful! Yet, King Xuanyuan defeated them both by fighting against one of them. This is simply unbelievable!"

"They were almost killed by King Xuanyuan, and it was only at the critical moment that King Fei Jing summoned Venerable Wan Feng of the Northern Frontier Alliance of the Ancestor God Cult Sect, which saved their lives." King Chaman was full of amazement.

"Defeated the Universe Venerable, almost killed him?"

Luo Feng was immediately shocked.

Among the immortal inheritors of the Ancestor God Cult, there are indeed some powerful individuals with such achievements, but they are almost all Special Lifeform among the most extraordinary beings in the universe! Only with divine bodies comparable to Universe Venerable and heaven-defying Talent Secret Method can they accomplish such feats!

But Lin Yan is different.

He was human! Before the Lord of the Universe, the limit of Life Gene Level is a hundred times! This means that his divine body foundation is at most similar to that of an ordinary Universe Venerable, while Venerable Zi Ya has mastered the complete Space Law and created Peak Ultimate Skill. How could he possibly be almost killed by a human immortal?

And then there's King Fei Jing... As everyone knows, he was absorbed into the "Northern Frontier Alliance," one of the super powers in the universe, long ago. He was given Supreme Treasure Armor and a set of treasure armor, making his defensive capabilities extremely strong. His Soul Attack Talent Secret Method is unparalleled in the universe. If I hadn't had Soul Supreme Treasure back then, I would probably have been killed instantly!

Lin Yan defeated them, but was he almost killed?

Luo Feng felt a little dizzy.

Lin Yan is indeed dangerous, but that danger is only apparent to others.

He originally thought he was very close to Lin Yan, and that as long as he broke through to immortality, he might even surpass him. But... Lin Yan was just too ruthless!

Just when others think they've seen Lin Yan's limit, they always suddenly realize that this guy has been keeping a low profile all along.

They've been keeping such a low profile.

"Venerable Wan Feng Outer Member of the Ancestor God Cult, and he was extremely powerful. What happened to him?" Luo Feng asked nervously.

The Outer Member of the Ancestor God Cult, apart from the Candidate Divine Envoy and Candidate Divine General, are powerful Beast God Inheritor have fully accepted the fifth level of inheritance or above. Luo Feng had heard of the reputation of Venerable Wan Feng. He was among the strongest of the High-class Universe Venerable, and was close to becoming Universe Overlord.

"Venerable Wan Feng appeared and saved King Fei Jing and Venerable Zi Ya, who were on the verge of death. Then he wanted to take the opportunity to kill this powerful genius of my human race and seize several Supreme Treasure from King Xuanyuan." King Chaman's face showed anger, then he laughed. "But King Xuanyuan is not only incredibly strong, but his ability to escape is also heaven-defying. With the help of a top-level Domain Supreme Treasure and amazing speed, he was able to escape back to Purple Thorn Island without even being able to catch up with Venerable Wan Feng."

"King Daohe, you didn't see the scene when this news first reached the Glory World. It was absolutely explosive, completely boiling over!"

King Chaman exclaimed excitedly, "Although King Xuanyuan didn't have the record of killing Universe Venerable like Bug Hunter King, everyone knows... that was not due to a lack of skill! He was able to escape from Venerable Wan Feng, something even Bug Hunter King might not have been able to do. So now everyone thinks that among the immortal inheritors of Purple Thorn Island, King Xuanyuan is at least on par with Bug Hunter King, or even surpasses him!"

Luo Feng's eyes brightened, and he was secretly amazed.

Everyone says he's not Special Lifeform, and that it's incredibly powerful for World Master to kill Feng Wang Limit. Lin Yan is also not Special Lifeform, and the shock he brought by almost killing Universe Venerable with his Immortal power is even greater.

No powerful divine body!

It's not because of any heaven-defying Talent Secret Method!

"Even today, he is still the target I must strive to catch up with!" Luo Feng's eyes were full of fighting spirit as he thought to himself, "Although I have recognized the Star Tower as my master, it is still a long way off before I can actually use it. I must find the most suitable Third Clone for myself, as this will directly determine whether I can close the gap between myself and Lin Yan!"

He knew in his heart that even though Lin Yan was so dazzling now, he still hadn't revealed his full potential.

At least Luo Feng knew that Lin Yan had a clone, but no one else knew this.

After learning about this, Luo Feng contacted Lin Yan in the Virtual Universe. Lin Yan also learned about Luo Feng's current situation and knew that he was fleeing for his life in a world behind the Nine Nether Vortex.

That was a dangerous place where even Universe Venerable would have difficulty surviving, yet Lin Yan felt relieved.

For Luo Feng, there was indeed no more suitable Third Clone than the Nine Nether Blood Sea. With his intelligence, now that he had entered that realm, he would surely discover its secrets.

It must be said that King Fei Jing did play a crucial role in this matter.

Inside Lin Yan's residence on Purple Thorn Island.

"It's a real pity that I couldn't kill those two guys. Otherwise, it would have been great if I could have killed a Universe Venerable before my breakthrough."

The outside was in complete chaos, but Lin Yan sat quietly brewing tea amidst the mountains and waters of the garden, utterly content.

He felt quite regretful that he had failed to kill King Fei Jing and Venerable Zi Ya.

There's nothing we can do about this... He's already reached his limit at the World Lord level, but he's still just World Lord level. To kill Universe Venerable, he still needs to rely on the endless Immortal Divine Power of the Emperor Demon Vine to wage a war of attrition. If it were someone else, it wouldn't matter, but with Lin Yan's reputation, it's certain that he'll attract other powerful figures.

However, after eight thousand years of secluded cultivation, being able to beat King Fei Jing and his group into a pulp this time did indeed make him feel pleased.

"Besides that, there's another good thing." Lin Yan checked the email sent by the Glory World System.

"King Xuanyuan, you are one of the best among the hundreds of millions of inheritors of the Ancestor God Cult Sect. You have proven your strength with your battle achievements, and because of your achievements... you have attracted the attention of the Beast God of our Ancestor God Cult! In the near future, the Thunder Beast God of the Eight Directions Beast Gods of our Ancestor God Cult Sect will personally appear on Purple Thorn Island to publicly bestow treasures upon you."

Lin Yan smiled slightly.

The Thunder Beast God publicly presided over the bestowal of treasures, a treatment usually reserved for the Bug Hunter King. Now that it was happening to him as well, he was not surprised.

Because a long time ago, the Two-Faced Ancestor God had already communicated with him on this matter, and as long as Lin Yan proved his strength and met the requirements of the Ancestor God Cult, he would be bestowed with treasures.

Furthermore, due to Lin Yan's request, the "Ordinary Supreme Treasure" under normal circumstances was replaced with the authority of the Inheritance Land. This means that after the bestowal, he can freely accept any of the Eight Great Beast God Inheritances in the Inheritance Land, as long as he has enough inheritance opportunities.

Lin Yan has had more than 100,000 such opportunities to pass on his knowledge.

"Once I fully comprehend the Eight Great Beast God Inheritances to the limit below the Universe Venerable level, I estimate that since the birth of the Primordial Universe, no one has accumulated such a profound foundation below the Universe Venerable. That should allow me to successfully break through," Lin Yan thought to himself.

Purple Thorn Island.

Inside the palace of King Fei Jing.

"Damn it, damn it, damn it!!" King Fei Jing roared as he gazed at the figure heading towards the Inheritance Land once again. The roar echoed throughout the mansion, but did not carry out.

"King Xuanyuan, one day I will kill you! I will definitely kill you!"

"It's you! You made me a laughingstock on Purple Thorn Island, you made me famous, you made me watch you receive the Supreme Treasure bestowed by the Thunder Beast God! Don't be so smug for too long. When I become Universe Venerable... I will make you kneel before me to atone for your sins!"

King Fei Jing gritted his teeth.

"But... can I really become Universe Venerable before him?" King Fei Jing trembled, and the black axe light reappeared in his mind. Those scenes, like a nightmare clinging to his bones, tightly entwined him.

"If Venerable Wan Feng hadn't arrived in time... I would have almost died at the hands of a human immortal."

"You just wait."

"Wait."

"One day, when I become the Universe Venerable, I will show you how foolish it is to lay a hand on a great Special Lifeform!" King Fei Jing's eyes were filled with madness. This was the closest he had ever come to death in his life, and he was determined to take revenge!

Once one reaches the level of Universe Venerable, other influencing factors will decrease accordingly, and the advantage of Special Lifeform in terms of divine bodies will become insurmountable!

Lin Yan was unaware of and didn't care about his daydreams. He quietly cultivated on Purple Thorn Island, constantly increasing his understanding of the "Eight Great Beast God Paths".

This may not affect his combat power for the time being, but the more he comprehends the Path of the Beast God, the deeper his understanding of the Space Law and Time Law will be, and the closer he will be to comprehending the complete Space Law and Time Law.

His life returned to normal.

Time flies.
