Mu Xing Country Lord: The Final Key! (6K-Character Mega Chapter)

On Purple Thorn Island.

Countless palaces dot the land and mountains, and everything appears peaceful and serene. However, when the gates of one of the mansions open and a figure clad in Golden Armor emerges, a turbulent undercurrent suddenly stirs within the once tranquil Purple Thorn Island.

"Look, King Xuanyuan is flying towards the square in front of the Island Lord's Palace again." Two immortal Demon Race were in a palace, their eyes fixed on Lin Yan flying in the distance, not daring to miss any detail. Their mission was to monitor all of Lin Yan's movements.

Their expressions only began to relax when they saw Lin Yan's figure enter the Fountain Water Curtain on the left side of the square in front of the Island Lord's Palace.

They quickly recorded details such as time, location, and facial expressions, producing an extremely detailed report.

"More than two thousand years ago, King Xuanyuan defeated Venerable Zi Ya and King Fei Jing, once again shocking the universe and increasing the threat to the race. The race asked us to keep a close watch on King Xuanyuan... But since then, he has been cultivating in seclusion on Purple Thorn Island, going to the Inheritance Land every once in a while, and he seems to be very comfortable."

The three-headed, black-feathered Demon Race shook his head and sighed, "With the talent of this human, King Xuanyuan, becoming Universe Venerable is almost inevitable. More than two thousand years ago, he already possessed the powerful combat strength of Universe Venerable level, crushing Venerable Zi Ya and King Fei Jing... Immortals are that strong. Once he enters the ranks of Universe Venerable, he will almost certainly become the Universe Overlord!"

"What can we do? Looking at all the major powers in the universe, everyone knows that our Demon Race, along with the Zerg and the Mechanical race, all want to kill King Xuanyuan. How could King Xuanyuan not know that?" The rat-like Demon Race, whose fur was like gray-black steel needles, stared at the Fountain Water Curtain with his Golden Eyes. "Back in the Secret Realm Land, he managed to escape from Venerable Wan Feng. Now he's hiding on Purple Thorn Island. Even if Universe Overlord were to make a move, it would be suicide!"

"It seems that the plan to eliminate this human genius before he grows up is bound to fail."

Since the news that King Xuanyuan almost killed Venerable Zi Ya and King Fei Jing and then escaped from Venerable Wan Feng spread throughout the Glory World, it not only caused an uproar among countless inheritors on Purple Thorn Island, but also reached various forces in the universe, attracting the attention of many Super Existence.

King Fei Jing is arrogant, which makes many of the inheritors dissatisfied with him, but his strength is beyond doubt. Venerable Zi Ya is even more of Universe Venerable. Such solid achievements have shocked all forces and proved the strength of King Xuanyuan.

A genius is just a genius; he is not a true strongman.

And King Xuanyuan is already a powerful being! He will become even more powerful in the future, and it will not be difficult for him to become a hegemon who dominates the universe.

The Thunder Beast God publicly bestowed treasures as a reward.

The Universe Venerable of the human race are all willing to take the initiative to befriend them, and the desire of the Demon Race, the Mechanical race, and the Zerg to eliminate this powerful pillar of humanity's future has become even more urgent.

However, Lin Yan remained on Purple Thorn Island and could not find any flaws. They could only watch helplessly as this human King Xuanyuan got closer and closer to becoming Universe Venerable.

"However, the King Daohe has taken some action. The two extraordinary geniuses of the human race... even if it comes at a great cost, we cannot allow them to grow unchecked."

"It was understandable that King Xuanyuan withstood the assassination attempt by Venerable Zhong Mei, but King Daohe, who is only World Master, actually survived the assassination attempt by relying on his Clone Talent. In order to eliminate them, the major clans suffered heavy losses but failed to achieve any results. It is infuriating and lamentable."

"Alas, how fortunate is the human race to have two exceptionally brilliant figures emerge in the same era?"

The two immortal Demon Race kept an eye on the plaza in front of the Island Lord's Palace in the distance, while exchanging sighs, feeling extremely troubled by these two unparalleled geniuses.

Suddenly--

"Look, the King Xuanyuan has come out."

"This must be the 1237th time that King Xuanyuan has gone to the Inheritance Land to receive the inheritance."

"He has over 100,000 inheritance opportunities, which he can squander at will. King Xuanyuan has been cultivating for such a short time, yet his Law Comprehension has progressed at an alarming rate. Now that he has received so many inheritances, he will probably break through to the Universe Venerable very soon."

Both immortal inheritors of the Demon Race kept their eyes fixed on Lin Yan in the distance, observing and recording everything. For the intelligence department, as long as there are enough information samples, many seemingly unrelated small details may be able to deduce some important information.

Lin Yan back to his residence.

He could guess that on the current Purple Thorn Island, there must be many inheritors who had received orders from various forces in the universe to monitor him, but he didn't care about it.

As long as he is on Purple Thorn Island, unless the Universe's Strongest comes in person, no one can pose any threat to him. However, given his current situation, the possibility of the Universe's Strongest appearing is almost negligible.

The Demon Race, the Mechanical race, and the Zerg all have the Universe's Strongest, but if they were to personally descend upon the Ancestor God Cult to do such a thing, it would almost mean that they would become completely hostile to the Ancestor God Cult, the number one power in the universe, which is impossible.

The only option would be to enlist the help of some of the Universe's Strongest Lone Walker in the universe, but the price to pay would be no less than that of a Peak Supreme Treasure.

Even the most powerful beings in the universe possess extremely rare treasures. Lin Yan isn't even a Universe Venerable yet, so who would pay such a price? Let alone whether he can become a Universe Lord in the future, even if he can, it's a very distant future. There's no need to worry about it now.

"Since gaining access to the Inheritance Land, I have been able to freely choose to accept any of the 'Eight Great Beast God Inheritances.' In the past two thousand years... I feel that in another two or three years, I will be able to perfect the first three levels of the Eight Great Beast God Paths!"

"Hopefully, we can find an opportunity to break through to the level of Universe Venerable in the future."

Lin Yan silently looked forward to it.

The Beast God Inheritance is divided into eight types: the fusion of "metal and space", the fusion of "wood and space", and the fusion of "light and time". Each type is further divided into seven levels.

He had long since fully comprehended the eight Origin Law, and his understanding of the laws of metal, wood, and water was sufficient for the cultivation of the seventh level of the Beast God Inheritance. However, before he had fully comprehended the Space Law and Time Law, he could only fully comprehend the first three levels of the Beast God Inheritance.

The fusion of Mu Kong, the fusion of time, the special talents of the Green Line Devouring Worm and the original body, have long been achieved.

The other six are much more difficult, but Lin Yan has a solid foundation, the blessing of Immortal Primordial Spirit, and thousands of inheritances in this Inheritance Land, so his cultivation speed is also very fast. After 2100 years... he is almost at the limit of the lower level of the Universe Venerable.

Of course, the Fusion Law are secondary.

Most importantly... Lin Yan needs to find the key to becoming Universe Venerable within it.

Time passes.

Even after Lin Yan raised Eight Great Beast God Paths to the third level of perfection, he still couldn't find that feeling of breaking through the bottleneck.

He was not impatient at all. After cultivating in seclusion for over a hundred years, he quietly left Purple Thorn Island, the center of all the storms, and returned to the Human territory.

Let's look at the universe and nature from a more ordinary perspective.

Go and feel the storm, feel the lightning, feel the light, feel the civilization nurtured by the flames, feel the vitality sprouting from the soil, feel the Laws of Cosmic Operation contained in a blade of grass, a ferocious beast, and a river.

His soul grew ever closer to the universe and the stars.

I also increasingly felt that the wall I was facing was unbreakable.

Within the vast and magnificent divine kingdom, there lies a massive island. At the center of the island stands a Life Tree, radiating boundless vitality. Above this colossal divine tree floats a pale green planet shrouded in a thin mist.

Mothership Planet.

Land, mountains, oceans, vegetation... every place subtly contains the Laws of Cosmic Operation, as if a Life Planet is interpreting these Laws of Cosmic Operation.

On a grassland.

A gentle breeze swept by, causing the grass to droop low, softly caressing the bodies of Mu Xing Country Lord and Lin Yan.

"This is the seventh image of the 'Mother Ancestor Chaos Stele'." With a wave of his sleeve, the Mu Xing Country Lord caused a seed buried in the soil to quickly take root and sprout, growing into a towering tree at an almost frenzied pace.

This great tree is lush and translucent, reaching straight into the sky. It has countless emerald-like leaves, but if you look closely, you will find that each leaf is subtly connected. 101 leaves can be a hundred times more varied in formation than 100 leaves. Each branch seems to form an incomparably complex Military Formation, containing mysterious and unpredictable laws.

Looking at the entire towering tree, one can see endless variations.

As Lin Yan observed the towering tree, he felt that its profound foundation and extraordinary comprehension, coupled with the blessing of the Immortal Primordial Spirit, made all the infinite mysteries seem to be revealed and analyzed in his eyes.

At the same time, the three profound mysteries of teleportation, Strangulation, and sealing appeared in his mind. Law Threads of World Power emerged from his fingertips, drawing out threads of law and revealing Law Secret Patterns. However, at the crucial moment, these Law Secret Patterns could not connect and intertwine, ultimately forming three incomplete Secret Pattern Diagram.

"I can roughly understand the path that the teacher described in the 'Mother Ancestor Chaos Stele'. I can see through each leaf and each branch, but if I look at the whole thing, I can't see it clearly."

Lin Yan said softly, "The complete Space Law... it's really too difficult to take this final step."

"I've heard that over the years, you've visited many of the clan's most powerful figures and exchanged insights about the laws with them?" The Mu Xing Country Lord looked at his most beloved disciple with eyes as bright as stars.

"Yes, teacher." Lin Yan nodded. "Many of them believed that I would quickly become Universe Venerable, and they were generous in giving me their guidance. I have gained a lot from it, but only I know that I have really encountered difficulties."

To be honest, he never expected things to turn out this way.

Throughout human history, exceptional geniuses like Venerable Shi Huo and Ke Di, who emerge only once every tens of millions of epochs, have all reached the Peak Feng Wang, except for those who perished prematurely. Nearly a third of them have even entered the ranks of Universe Venerable.

Take Venerable Shi Huo as an example. At the World Lord peak, he could kill King-level Immortal. After breaking through to become an Immortal, he directly became Invincible Feng Wang. After hundreds of thousands of years, he became Universe Venerable.

Because of these examples, countless powerful figures believed that Lin Yan would inevitably become Universe Venerable, and that it wouldn't be too far off in the future. Lin Yan himself also thought so.

However... he overlooked one important issue.

Everyone else progresses along the path of "World Master - Immortal - Venerable," but Lin Yan must comprehend the complete Space Law or Time Law at the World Lord level, otherwise he will never be able to break through to Immortal!

The World Lord level is the easiest level to comprehend the laws of nature. It is uniquely endowed because the World Power is special, allowing consciousness to enter the Universe Origin place and merge with the endless earth. Possessing the World Power... gives one the opportunity to possess all kinds of laws!

Once one steps into the Immortal God, the energy level changes, granting them greater immortal power, but they can no longer merge their consciousness with the earth, making it more difficult to comprehend the laws.

The advantages of World Lord level make many ambitious people unwilling to rush into becoming Immortal God. They want to comprehend more laws at the World Lord level so that they can have a very strong foundation after entering the Immortal God.

This is the benefit of the World Power. If Lin Yan were not the World Master, it would be much more difficult for him to have his current Law Comprehension. However, the improvement of his energy level to "Immortal Divine Power" naturally has its corresponding benefits.

The body is transformed into Immortal Divine Body by the Law Ocean, and the consciousness is rooted in Immortal Divine Power and infected by the Universe Origin, making it naturally easier to break through to the level of Universe Venerable.

But Lin Yan is the World Master.

To achieve the same goal, he would need a much longer time or a stronger Origin Law Comprehension. He vaguely sensed that it might take him millions, tens of millions, or even longer to break through.

In the eyes of powerful figures like the Chaos City Lord, this was certainly worthwhile.

The Universe Evolution is an incredibly long process. Even if the time to become Universe Venerable is delayed by hundreds of millions of years, so what? The benefits of a top-tier Origin Supreme Treasure can increase Lin Yan's efficiency in drawing upon the energy of the Law Ocean of the Universe Origin place by a million times in the future. It is truly inexhaustible!

This is quite awkward for Lin Yan right now.

Not long after joining the Ancestor God Cult, he thoroughly comprehended the three major categories of Space Law and Time Law. During the eight thousand years of the Initial Star, he studied and comprehended many secret manuals and created two Ultimate Techniques. During the 2200 years on Purple Thorn Island, he comprehended the first three levels of the Eight Great Beast God Paths. After returning to the Human territory, he spent tens of thousands of years wandering around, occasionally visiting those Universe Venerable to exchange Law Comprehension and draw nourishment from their paths.

With Lin Yan's strength and potential, he had long since entered the circle of Universe Venerable and made friends with many Universe Venerable. Even those powerful Universe Venerable were willing to befriend him as an equal.

More than 20,000 years!

From the time he encountered the bottleneck until now, more than 20,000 years have passed. His accumulation is so profound that Lin Yan confident that as long as he comprehends either time or space, his attainments in the Law Comprehension and secret techniques will easily surpass those of the strong who have cultivated at this level for countless years.

If he can't take that step, he'll have to remain silent, possessing a powerful Law Comprehension, his consciousness gradually waiting for the opportunity to break through through the influence of the Universe Origin.

"Do you regret your decision back then?" asked the Mu Xing Country Lord.

"No regrets." Lin Yan shook his head.

Although he knew that if he couldn't break through soon, he would be left behind by Luo Feng, he had experienced too much in his years of cultivation and had seen through many things. His will and state of mind had reached a terrifying level, and his heart was naturally firm and unshakable.

Even if it takes tens of millions of years, or even if this Peak Supreme Treasure's Origin Core prevents him from breaking through, he will only strengthen his resolve, seek that glimmer of hope, and fight until the last moment of his life.

So what if we're surpassed?

He just didn't want to lose, but he was never a sore loser.

What will enable him to go further is a strong inner strength, not temporary gains or losses.

"I am very happy." The Mu Xing Country Lord looked at Lin Yan and said softly, "Back in Chaos City, I was happy that you passed the Tenth Layer. I was happy that you mastered the first level of 'The Primordial Beginning' at the Cosmic level. I am happy to see you become the King Xuanyuan, who makes the vast universe tremble."

"I have witnessed your growth firsthand, seen you become a true strongman, with the heart and power of a strongman. I have watched you grow from a naive little fellow into my most proud disciple."

"Lin Yan, unleash your ultimate technique and let me see just how far you've come in these twenty thousand years." The Mu Xing Country Lord's eyes were filled with pride, and there was a hint of inquiry in his bright eyes.

Over the years, what incredible power has he acquired?

This piqued her curiosity.

"Yes."

Lin Yan said respectfully.

His hands were covered with hideous, jet-black gauntlets, and a Heaven-Covering Hand suddenly appeared, revealing a huge Black Pagoda phantom containing an incredibly powerful tearing and twisting force as well as illusionary attacks.

"Hmm." The Mu Xing Country Lord smiled slightly.

At this point, Lin Yan had developed the "Eighteen Hells" technique to its fullest extent. Whether it was a strike, a grab, a punch, or a shield, he could perfectly unleash its power.

Call!

Within the Mothership Planet, there were faint, flowing patterns in the space. These patterns flowed continuously into the surrounding space, making it seem as if the space around Lin Yan formed its own unique spacetime, no matter how he used his ultimate techniques.

"Whoosh!"

The Bronze Compass spun, and the phantom of Giant Axe appeared. The space within the Mothership Planet trembled continuously, and a black axe light filled the heavens and earth!

The Heaven Splitting Earth Shattering!

"Was it created based on my 'Cosmic Creation' and incorporating the essence of the Great Axe Chaos Stele?" The Mu Xing Country Lord could see the foundation of this ultimate technique at a glance, and he was even more satisfied.

Both techniques are Ultimate Technique!

Moreover, these are all Ultimate Technique foundations in the laws, which is very difficult. For example, if Lin Yan were to deduce the original "Great Annihilation Sword" to its ultimate form, the difficulty would be much, much less, and the power would also be much less.

But Lin Yan's situation wasn't over yet.

"Wind Thunder Chasing Sun!"

Accompanied by the sounds of wind and thunder, the Time Flow Rate around Lin Yan suddenly became disordered. His figure flashed away, turning into a black ray of light. Instantly, countless black lights, like shooting stars, appeared in the surrounding space, ethereal and unpredictable, moving with exquisite precision.

Such movement skills are far superior to even Lin Yan's previous combination of "Nine Heavens" and "Void Wings".

"This is the Path of the Beast God?" A hint of shock appeared in the eyes of the Mu Xing Country Lord. "Moreover, it is a unique escape technique formed by combining the Path of the Beast God of the Wind Beast God, the Thunder Beast God, and the Light Beast God."

Aside from some supreme beings of the Ancestor God Cult, only the Primordial Ancestor knew about Lin Yan's comprehension of the other Path of the Beast God. The Mu Xing Country Lord could see the mystery within, but it was hard to imagine how Lin Yan had managed to do so.

The Time faction considers time as the superior law, while lightning, wind, and light are inferior laws.

These four laws are all extremely adept at speed. Cultivators who are proficient in the Time Law often find them difficult to deal with because they are good at escaping.

Conversely, the five inferior laws of the spatial school are all mediocre in terms of speed. Only the Space Law has some merit, but it is still much inferior to the Time Law.

Lin Yan combined these three Path of the Beast God to create an escape technique that is naturally terrifying. If paired with Time Attribute Supreme Treasure Supreme Treasure wings and boots, the chance of survival in dangerous situations can be increased dozens of times!

The Mu Xing Country Lord was thinking.

"Sky Tearing Five Elements!"

Lin Yan gave a low shout.

Clang!

Suddenly, the finger joints of the Jun Tian Fist Armor extended into ferocious, blade-like thorns.

Lin Yan's right hand ripped open, and a huge Claw Shadow appeared in the void. The five claws were different and contained completely different laws of power. The shape was extremely strange, and a faint beast roar came out, as if the Beast God Hooves and Claws were trampling down.

Tear—

The solidified space was directly torn apart, creating five smooth cracks. The five cracks intersected at the center, and the void shattered inch by inch!

"The Sky Tearing Five Elements! The Five Great Beast Gods!" The Mu Xing Country Lord was utterly shocked.

He has mastered all Eight Great Beast God Paths, and has reached the highest peak below the Universe Venerable level in both. He has also created these two Ultimate Techniques, which are even more amazing than the previous two Ultimate Techniques!

"Is this all you've accomplished over these past 20,000 years?" The Mu Xing Country Lord was deeply shaken.

This is just too monstrous!

Unbelievable!

"Yes, teacher." Lin Yan nodded.

He sighed inwardly.

Since comprehending the Eight Great Beast God Paths on Purple Thorn Island, more than 12,000 years have passed. If it weren't for the blessing of the Immortal Primordial Spirit, even if Lin Yan studied for 120,000 years, he might not have been able to create two such powerful ultimate techniques.

Unfortunately... it's not enough.

That wasn't enough for him to find the opportunity to break through to the level of Universe Venerable.

Even at this level, there is still a long way to go before crossing that final step, which Lin Yan himself finds somewhat absurd.

The Mu Xing Country Lord hesitated for a moment, then finally uttered only two words: "Impressive."

Simple words always express the purest emotions.

"What did my father say?" Mu Xing Country Lord suddenly asked.

"My teacher told me to just continue my practice. Sometimes, stopping allows me to see even more beautiful scenery," Lin Yan replied.

"Stop what?" Mu Xing Country Lord was displeased. "Why didn't he stop himself back then?"

Lin Yan felt a little ashamed when he thought of the Primordial Ancestor who Permanently Suppressed by the Universe Origin.

"Life is about striving for progress; it's not time to stop yet." The Mu Xing Country Lord's eyes shone brightly. "Lin Yan, since the birth of the Primordial Universe, no World Master has been able to compare with you. But for those below the level of Universe Venerable, this is not the limit!"

"Hmm?" Lin Yan's eyes flickered slightly. "But..."

The Mu Xing Country Lord interrupted him directly, smiling as he said, "Go find him. He holds the final key to your breakthrough to the Universe Venerable!"
