Lin Yan was completely immersed in his cultivation insights, forgetting the passage of time.

With the acceleration a thousandfold, time passed by in "epochs". Because of the Time Acceleration and the simultaneous comprehension of the five Path of the Beast God, Lin Yan visited the Inheritance Land very frequently. When he was studying the Fourth Layer of the Path of the Beast God, he hardly ever left the Inheritance Land.

Only a few decades have passed in real time, yet Lin Yan has already fully comprehended the first five levels of the Five Great Beast Gods Paths!

This is because Lin Yan only devoted a small portion of his energy to the Path of the Beast God, while focusing more on studying the Space-Time Fusion Law, the creation of secret techniques, and the cultivation of the two great secret arts.

It wasn't until he began to comprehend the sixth level of the Path of the Beast God, whose laws were more profound and complex, that his progress slowed down. Research and comprehension required more time, and the frequency of his visits to the Inheritance Land decreased, from once every two or three months to once every two or three years.

Over this long period of time, Lin Yan's foundation became more and more solid, and he became more and more adept at Creation Secret Technique.

At the level of top experts, the difference in divine power is negligible. What they value more is a Supreme Treasure that suits them and a powerful secret technique!

Secret techniques are a key factor in determining their strength.

Besides "The Universe Primordial Chaos", Lin Yan successively deduced several other secret techniques to their ultimate limit, which can be called the "Strongest Secret Technique". Lin Yan named them "Universe Origin", "Universe Annihilation" and "Black Hole Tide" respectively.

The first two are respectively embodied in the different Conception of the birth and Destruction of the universe, while the latter is derived from the "Black Hole Force Field" and is a kind of range-type secret technique. When combined with the Domain Supreme Treasure "Sword River Luo", its power is endless.

Limited by its Law Comprehension, although it cannot compare to the Strongest Secret Technique at the level of the Lord of the Universe, the power it unleashes surpasses many Ultimate Secret Techniques of the Lord of the Universe.

And to get to this point...

Creating more secret techniques at the same level would not be of much benefit to Lin Yan. Apart from breaking through to the level of the Lord of the Universe and breaking through the foundation of laws again, the only possibility for him to further enhance the power of secret techniques is to transform them into fusion techniques to form a fusion technique with even greater power!

The reason why Tier 5 Universe Master like the Chaos City Lord and Lord Peng Gong can exert their strength by a level above top universe lords like the Lord of Ice Peak is that they have created their own Integrated Strongest Secret Technique!

But this is equivalent to the secret technique achievement of the Chaos City Lord! Even a super strong person like the Star River Master the Northern Frontier Alliance, although he created and Integrated Strongest Secret Technique, still has the suspicion of taking shortcuts and being too rigid. Even if Lin Yan's foundation in laws is weaker and it is much simpler, it is still extremely difficult.

He could only immerse himself in it at all times, refining and perfecting the secret technique.

During this long period, only the Green Line Devouring Worm clone would occasionally be active on the Original Star, and Lin Yan's life was extremely peaceful.

The Virtual Universe is an independent dimension belonging to the Great Axe Founder.

Surrounded by an endless Dark Starry Sky, before the floating temple, the Chaos City Lord and the Great Axe Founder sat facing each other.

"Ever since Lin Yan collected all the 'Sword River Luo,' he has been in seclusion for so long. With the Time Palace at his disposal, who knows how much he will have improved when he emerges from seclusion next time," the Chaos City Lord said with a smile.

"Haha, I've seen Lin Yan's file." Giant Axe laughed. "At the World Lord level, he had several long periods of secluded cultivation."

"After 1600 years in the Outer Domain Battlefield, I emerged from seclusion and killed the King Fatefall, proving that I possessed the Invincible Feng Wang. After more than 8000 years in the Ancestor God Secret Realm, I emerged from seclusion and defeated Venerable Zi Ya and King Fei Jing, proving that I possessed the strength of Universe Venerable. Later, I cultivated in seclusion for nearly 90,000 years. After emerging from seclusion, I killed a Venerable with a single axe, defeated the Evil Wing Cult Master, and even crossed two levels to defeat the Lord Tian Lang the Demon Race's Heavenly Wolf!"

"This time, he has been cultivating in seclusion for over ten million years. Chaos, I think your senior brother is about to be surpassed by your junior brother." Giant Axe chuckled sarcastically.

They had high expectations for Lin Yan for a long time, and now everyone knows that it is only a matter of time before Lin Yan surpasses the Chaos City Lord and becomes the second strongest person in the human race.

"Junior Brother Lin Yan's talent is indeed terrifying. Not to mention me, even our teacher said that in terms of talent and opportunities, he was far inferior to Lin Yan back then." The Chaos City Lord shook his head and laughed. "If Lin Yan defeated the Lord Tian Lang back then, it was because he relied on the Strongest Talent Secret Method. But the Lord Fu Mo' intervention that time was enough to prove that... even without relying on the Strongest Talent Secret Method bestowed by the Primordial Universe, his strength is still extremely powerful."

" Among the Myriad Races and numerous Universe Overlord in the universe, it's already quite impressive to create Ultimate Secret Technique. Those capable of pushing secret techniques to their ultimate limit are few and far between."

"Lin Yan achieved this in at most a few hundred thousand years. Even though his combat strength is slightly weaker, his status as the 'Lord of All Things' still places him in the category of top-tier universe lords by other super powers. It's truly undeniable that he deserves to be admired," the Chaos City Lord exclaimed.

"Yes, his cultivation time is too short, and what he lacks most is cultivation and comprehension." The Great Axe Founder nodded. "I heard from the Primordial Ancestor that Lin Yan has been researching fusion techniques for a long time. His Path of Space-Time is almost perfect, and his Dao of Time-Space Fusion is almost at the level of a universe master. In addition, there is news from Purple Thorn Island that Lin Yan also entered the list of seventh-level inheritors thousands of years ago. Even if the last level is the most difficult, tens of thousands of years in the Primordial Universe should be enough."

"Different paths can learn from each other... who knows, he might just break through to become the Lord of the Universe. For such a prodigy with extraordinary talent, the longer the time, the better."

"The title of Universe Venerable is just the beginning. He is subject to too many constraints. No matter how much he improves, it will only mean having more methods. He is still not enough to surpass the Tier 4 peak. When he becomes the Lord of the Universe... that will be the time when he truly shines." The Chaos City Lord laughed.

The Great Axe Founder nodded slightly, then suddenly asked, "How is your precious disciple Luo Feng doing now?"

Aside from Lin Yan, Luo Feng is also a genius they value highly. However, the former is already a strong person who should be treated equally, while the latter's potential has not yet been fully realized.

However, the fact that Luo Feng did not suffer any losses when he encountered the two well-known Universe Overlord, Palace Lord Qi Xue and Venerable Bei Feng, shows that he also has a lot of secrets. For example, his immortal stage divine body is stronger than that of the Universe Venerable, and he also has a defensive Supreme Treasure of at least the High-class Supreme Treasure level to protect him!

Whatever his Special Encounters may be, they all demonstrate his great potential, suggesting that he has the potential to become another pillar-like Super Existence for the human race.

"Ever since he went to the Original Star, he must have realized his own inadequacy, so he has been cultivating and comprehending in seclusion, probably trying to break through to the Universe Venerable." The Chaos City Lord shook his head. "With his Law Comprehension, it will be difficult for him to make any progress at the Immortal level. Although he can withstand the attack of the Universe Overlord, his combat strength is still much inferior."

"For an immortal to achieve this is already incredibly remarkable," the Great Axe Founder laughed.

While the Great Axe Founder and the Chaos City Lord were delighted, the other Three Great Peak Races couldn't help but feel anxious.

They had all experienced the era when the Primordial Ancestor was invincible in the Cosmic Sea. When the Primordial Ancestor was still alive, they could only bow their heads. Now, seeing another terrifying genius with infinite potential emerge in the human race, they naturally wanted to eliminate him. However, Lin Yan did not give them such an opportunity.

A silent, ancient starry sky, as if frozen, exuded an oppressive atmosphere.

The four enormous phantoms, formed from the four thoughts, were located in three different directions.

The enormous silver-white snake head and the strange beast covered in a serrated shell were in the same location.

A stunningly beautiful, slender figure appeared in another location.

The huge oval Black Sphere is also in a separate location.

"As you all probably know, the Black Sphere spoke up. "We previously spread information about the little guy named Lin Yan from the human race protected by that Giant Axe throughout the universe, just to make all the major superpowers wary of him, so that we could obtain all the information about him."

"However, Lin Yan's rise to power was too rapid. Very few people had come into contact with him and could not discern his divine power aura. Moreover, the appearance of a strong person can change at will, so it is difficult to obtain accurate information. Some of the information that was transmitted was verified to be from some unknown reclusive universe lords who had nothing to do with Lin Yan at all."

"Judging from the information we have obtained so far, Lin Yan has never appeared on the Original Star in the past tens of thousands of years. The only place where he has been seen is the Purple Thorn Island of the Ancestor God Cult Sect... But that is the core of the Ancestor God Cult, the domain controlled by the Five-Colored Aurora Lake, the Ultimate Supreme Treasure! Even if we go there in person, without considering the cost of offending the Ancestor God Cult Sect, we cannot kill a top-level universe master in the heart of the Ancestor God Cult Sect."

The other three illusory figures fell silent at this moment.

There is an energy limit in the Primordial Universe. The Tier 6 peak is already the limit. The Universe's Strongest can only exert this level at most. With this kind of strength, it is completely possible to kill the third-tier peak in one move. This is even if the third-tier peak uses secret techniques to resist with all its might.

However, even for those at the fourth rank or the Tier 4 peak, it still takes some effort.

It was impossible to kill Lin Yan on Purple Thorn Island, and apart from Purple Thorn Island, there was absolutely no information about Lin Yan, let alone an opportunity to make a move.

"This situation is somewhat expected," the vaguely slender figure spoke, her voice filled with endless allure. "Giant Axe has dealt with us for countless years; how could he not guess our plans?"

"As long as Lin Yan stays in places like Purple Thorn Island or Chaos City in the Initial Universe, no one can kill him. So even with the Original Star opening up, he remains completely still and continues to cultivate and comprehend with care."

"Over the years, he has reached the seventh level in the Beast God Inheritance, not to mention the Path of Space-Time and Space... He could step into the realm of the Universe Lord at any time. Once he breaks through, he might be even more terrifying than the Chaos City Lord, who is considered the most promising candidate to become the Universe's Strongest!"

The silver-white snake head hesitated slightly. "Perhaps we can start with 'Earth'! That's Lin Yan's hometown, and it has some special features."

"Our Demon Race has carefully investigated some clues, and the possibility we have come to is... This is a race that, like the Yan Shen Clan, was born under the guidance of the Mountain Master. However, the former's talent lies in the body, and the Yan Di, the Lord of the Universe, was born early on, so it has a great reputation. The Earth lineage's talent lies in the soul, and it has only now produced a powerful expert, so few people know about it."

"If we're targeting Earth, perhaps there's some chance."

As more powerful beings venture into the universe, Earth is no longer a secret to these Three Great Peak Races, and has long been within the sights of these Universe's Strongest.

Strongest Battle rarely involve families, but that refers to battles within human groups! As for killings between groups, they are extremely brutal, with the ultimate goal of completely destroying and eliminating the opposing group, and the means used are naturally ruthless!

"That's not advisable." The Zerg Empress shook her head. "Earth is a vital territory for the human race, with extremely strong defenses. It should also have stable Divine Kingdom Passage connecting to the Original Secret Realm and other places. Anyone below the level of a Universe Lord who goes there will surely die. Even if a Universe Lord is dispatched, there is still a chance of being trapped."

"The risks are high, but there's not much to gain. Even if we shatter the Earth and kill all of humanity, the Giant Axe can still Reverse Space-Time and restore everything. We can't let ourselves do such a pointless thing. We'd be ridiculed if word got out in the Cosmic Sea."

The Four Great Peak Races eliminate each other's geniuses; this is a naturally formed, underlying rule.

For any genius from any of the four races, this is an inevitable ordeal; overcoming it will make them a powerful being... Of course, under normal circumstances, the Universe's Strongest will not personally intervene.

Lin Yan posed too great a threat, and the identity of the Universe Venerable was common knowledge, making him an isolated case. They were aware of this, and so was Giant Axe.

If they were hiding in Chaos City, they naturally wouldn't be able to make a move. If they were to appear in the Primordial Universe, being killed would only mean they were too weak. Once they reach the level of Universe Master, even the Universe's Strongest wouldn't easily take action, as the punishment from the universe is very severe.

As for the Universe's Strongest personally causing destruction, it wouldn't have much effect; their reputation is clearly not that worthless.

"So we're just going to watch Lin Yan become a master of the universe?" The silver-white snake head seemed unwilling.

"If Lin Yan appears, we will naturally have a way to deal with him, but if he doesn't appear, no one can do anything about it," the slender figure said. "But we have at least one piece of good news: he can only hide, hide in a place where we can't threaten him, until he cultivates into the Lord of the Universe."

"However, the transition from Universe Venerable to a Universe Lord is an extremely difficult hurdle. There are many Universe Overlord who have been stuck at this bottleneck for countless years. Lin Yan can only hide in a safe place to cultivate in seclusion, and cannot hone his growth in battle after battle. I'm afraid he will never become a Universe Lord in his lifetime!"

"Yes." The other three Universe's Strongest agreed with this.

If secluded cultivation were so effective, there wouldn't be any geniuses who were assassinated.

"I think that before Lin Yan breaks through to the level of the Lord of the Universe, he won't dare to expose his whereabouts in the Primordial Universe. Instead, he might secretly go to the Cosmic Sea to hone his skills," the Black Sphere said.

"The Cosmic Sea?" the beast shrouded in a serrated shell murmured. "Hmph, the Cosmic Sea cannot Divine Kingdom Teleportation, and it lacks the Dark Universe, making it indeed difficult to find. However, the possibility of its demise is actually greater."

"When the time comes, we will send the message to the two great Reincarnation Era. How can the Divine Eye Clan and the Skeleton Clan sit idly by and watch another 'Original' appear? With the help of some extreme environments, even the top universe masters may be able to kill him. Even the Giant Axe cannot protect him."

"Then let's continue to keep an eye on Purple Thorn Island." The Zerg Empress nodded. "If he disappears for an extended period, we should turn our attention to the Cosmic Sea."

The Universe's Strongest quickly discussed the matter, and then the four phantoms vanished into thin air.

At this time, Lin Yan was unaware that the Universe's Strongest all suspected he would secretly go to the Cosmic Sea, and he continued to study secret techniques and comprehend the laws.

He will definitely go to the Cosmic Sea.

But if he had to proceed with extreme caution even in the Primordial Universe, wouldn't venturing into the perilous Cosmic Sea be even more frustrating? This didn't align with his plans and goals.

Before that happens, all prying eyes should be cut off!

Time passes silently.

In reality, it's 12,000 years; in the Time Palace, it's 12 million years.

Call!

Before the majestic temple, Lin Yan finally opened his eyes.

His left eye faintly contained an endless vortex that seemed to devour everything, as if it were about to Destruction the world. His right eye, on the other hand, shone with a dazzling light, as if it were the Heaven Splitting Earth Shattering. But in the blink of an eye, all the strange phenomena disappeared, as if they had never existed.

On the majestic ancient tree.

The Green Line Devouring Worm and Blood Hound both reside on giant leaves. Over a long period of time, with the help of various treasures that enhance the Life Gene Level, their divine bodies have been elevated to nearly ten thousand times. With the final push from the Golden Framework, their divine bodies have reached a height of over ninety thousand kilometers.

All four physical bodies have reached the Perfect Gene Level!

The combat power of the clones is secondary; what matters most to Lin Yan is that the Green Line Devouring Worm has countless incarnations, providing him with endless divine power. The divine power stored in each clone is equivalent to that of his original self, so there is no need to worry about any loss of divine power.

"Nothing can threaten me anymore," Lin Yan said softly, gazing down at his vast divine kingdom.

"No matter who it is, no matter what methods they use, it's the same! Today, I can finally roam the universe freely!"

He stood up, smiled slightly, and his eyes were sharp as knives.

"Then let's fight!"

"You've been waiting for this for a long time, but the result... won't be what you hoped for!"
