Will, Breakthrough! Three Lives Flower!
"This ancient being called 'Mo Kui' is truly terrifying."
Lin Yan shook his head inwardly. "Although it has perished through countless Reincarnation Era, the trace of will contained in this Soul Supreme Treasure is probably still something that only the will of the Universe's Strongest can barely resist."
If it weren't for his My Heart is Limitless " state of mind, even he would have been greatly affected by this Will Impact and wouldn't have been able to regain his senses in a short time.
This reminded him of the simple words that had affected his state of mind when he saw the inscription on the front of the secret stone tablet in the blue-green secret chamber.
If we really have to compare...
Those powerful individuals who comprehended the direction of "Chaos Thunder" all saw the possibility of Saint-Level, and their strength should be above that of "Mo Kui." However, Mo Kui is a super strong individual who excels at Soul Enslavement, and in terms of the use of will, he surpasses the former.
"Let's refine this Supreme Treasure first." Lin Yan touched the Black Sphere with his right hand, but his senses were as if he had not touched any physical object. A wisp of divine power quickly seeped into it.
Generally speaking, Supreme Treasure at the peak level and below can easily be recognized by a master, while the conditions for recognizing a master for the Ultimate Supreme Treasure are much more stringent.
Most of them require a certain level of willpower, but the degree of requirement varies. The conditions for recognizing a master can reveal the value of some treasures, but it is not absolute.
Normally, the Ultimate Supreme Treasure only requires the "peak will of the universe master" to be a supreme treasure. However, if it is a supreme treasure, it must have the will of the Universe's Strongest, such as the Origin Core of the "Ni Yi Chao" and the "Jun Tian Flame Armor".
Even more outrageous... there are the "source" of the Chaos Golden Wings and the Star Tower, which require willpower that is two whole levels stronger than one's own strength.
"Whoosh!"
The Black Sphere instantly transformed into a black stream of light, rushing directly into his body. At the same time, a surge of ancient information flooded into Lin Yan's mind.
After sensing the situation for a moment, Lin Yan immediately activated his divine power.
Call--
The Black Sphere in the center of the chest immediately emitted countless black threads from its many holes. These black threads emitted a faint black light and instantly merged into every bit of divine power in the body, faintly condensing into strange marks.
"As expected of Soul Supreme Treasure at the Void True God Level." Lin Yan's eyes revealed joy. "With such a treasure guarding the soul, even if the Primogenitor Teacher personally launched Soul Attack before being suppressed, it should be easy to block it."
The Primordial Ancestor was incredibly powerful and extremely skilled in Soul Attack. Even the Universe's Strongest divine bodies usually needed to have Ultimate Supreme Treasure to protect their souls in order to escape from the Primordial Ancestor.
As for the Lord of the Universe... even with a powerful consciousness and Ultimate Supreme Treasure guarding his soul, he would still be doomed.
Soul Supreme Treasure almost 100% effective at protecting souls, but there is a limit to this. If this limit is exceeded, the protection of the Soul Supreme Treasure will be easily torn apart by Soul Attack.
The ultimate value of Void True God Level Soul Supreme Treasure... is absolutely far beyond the reach of Universe's Strongest!
"And this Split Spirit body's defensive effect... the Ni Yi Chao... it's truly an incredibly powerful protective Supreme Treasure!" Lin Yan couldn't contain his excitement.
In defense, normally the first step is to use weapons to block; if that fails, the only option is to rely on armor to weaken the defense.
Just as some Supreme Treasure Armor have the effect of weakening Soul Attack, a very small number of Soul Supreme Treasure have the effect of weakening Material Attack.
These Soul Supreme Treasure are extremely precious and rare.
Lin Yan obtained more than 20 Peak Soul Supreme Treasure from the treasures of Jie Fanzi and True Lord Zhendan, none of which possessed this effect, which speaks volumes.
However, among the strongest treasures opened each time the Original Star was opened, a very small number of such treasures have appeared, such as the "Heavenly Illusion Divine Mountain" obtained by the Lord of Illusion Sea of Illusion Moon Race.
Once activated, it can reduce Material Attack to one-tenth of their original strength. The Lord of Illusion Sea was fortunate enough to obtain this treasure, which resulted in many super strong individuals vying for it. As a result, the Illusion Moon Race was wiped out, and the Heavenly Illusion Divine Mountain fell into the hands of the Zerg.
The reduction may seem limited, but... the effect of this reduction is cumulative with the Warframe!
For example, some top-tier armor pieces can be weakened to one ten-thousandth of their original value. When combined, they can be weakened to one millionth of their original value!
However, the Heavenly Illusion Divine Mountain was ultimately just Peak Supreme Treasure, while the "Ni Yi Chao" that Lin Yan obtained was Void True God Level! After being activated, it could actually reduce Material Attack to one-thousandth of their original value!
"This combined divine body defense effect is almost comparable to the innate ability of the Special Lifeform 'Yin Tuo'," Lin Yan sighed inwardly.
Yin Tuo's strength is only at the Tier 4 peak, yet he is known as "the Undying Yin Tuo"! This is because he has a special feature... any Material Attack that enters his divine body can be directly weakened to one ten-thousandth, which, combined with the Supreme Treasure Armor, makes him incredibly terrifying.
Lin Yan's [Ancient Phoenix Robe] is already weakened by 100,000 times. Adding the Ni Yi Chao, it's equivalent to being weakened to one hundred millionth!
In addition, he also possesses the Water Fire Lotus and the Black Hole Sacred Body. In terms of Material Defense capabilities, Yin Tuo is far inferior to him.
"With this Ni Yi Chao, wouldn't we be fearless against neither Soul Attack nor Material Attack?" Lin Yan's eyes gleamed, and after a moment's thought, he shook his head.
"That's not necessarily true. The Ni Yi Chao has a very high tolerance limit, but the Ancient Phoenix Robe's tolerance limit is not enough."
"I can't withstand the attacks of powerful beings like the True Master Shenyan and the Lord Hai yet. I need to wait until I break through to the Universe Lord level and obtain the Ultimate Supreme Treasure Armor before I will be truly invincible! At that time... only the perilous environments of the Three great forbidden zones can threaten me."
It should be noted that the stronger the attack power, the worse the armor's damage reduction will be. What could be reduced to one ten-thousandth may only be reduced to one-thousandth or one-hundredth if the enemy's attack power is strong. This will naturally increase the danger level.
The Ancient Phoenix Robe is indeed powerful at the level of a universe master, but if it were to fight against the Universe's Strongest, the opponent's attack power would inevitably exceed the limit, causing the defensive effect to be greatly reduced.
"I've already encountered a heaven-defying Supreme Treasure like the Ni Yi Chao, so acquiring an Ultimate Supreme Treasure Armor is really not a difficult task," Lin Yan said with utmost confidence. "Once I break through to the Universe Lord level, I'll focus on this aspect."
After obtaining the [Ni Yi Chao], Lin Yan had no more opportunities and was too lazy to search for it again. Anyway, he would have plenty of time in the future. After breaking through to the Universe Master level, he could arrange for many Green Line Devouring Worm clone to roam the Three great forbidden zones.
He began his secluded cultivation within this special stone palace.
"Although I am Universe Venerable, my mastery of the Secret Pattern Diagram Flow is already the Universe Master's Limit. In this respect... whether or not I break through, there is no essential difference."
"The Lord of the Universe created Tier 6 peak secret technique, which is unprecedented in the Cosmic Sea, but many geniuses on the Origin Continent have done so. Some even created Ordinary Tier 8 Secret Technique when they were Lords of the Universe!"
"My current cultivation conditions are limited. If I can break through this bottleneck... once I obtain a high-level inheritance, I will definitely not lose to those peerless geniuses from the Origin Continent."
Lin Yan said silently.
He needs to hone his Will Polished to the level of a true god before he can unlock the Panwang Mountain Inheritance and even break through to become a master of the universe. In the years to come, Lin Yan is focused on creating Tier 6 peak secret technique, which is more of a test for himself.
As time went by and he grew stronger, becoming the Lord of the Universe or the Universe's Strongest was no longer his goal. Lin Yan's gaze had long since turned to the truly peerless geniuses of the Origin Continent... They were revered by countless powerful figures, worthy of Saint-Level, and even standing at the very peak, becoming god-kings!
If you want to go further, you must hold yourself to the same standards as them!
In the original story, Luo Feng relied on the law patterns of the three Iceberg Law Patterns guidance and drew upon 360 secret manuals of swords to comprehend Tier 6 peak secret technique when he was Universe Venerable.
Lin Yan has no Law Patterns, nor any of those secret texts.
However, he has the blessing of Immortal Primordial Spirit, which can greatly promote the speed of cultivation, a series of Secret Pattern Diagram in the secret chamber of the True Lord Zhendan, and Jie Fanzi's "Water Fire Origin"!
Although it still seemed too insignificant compared to the Law Patterns, which encompassed all mysteries, Lin Yan firmly believed that he could do it!
This is the fighting spirit that he has always been striving for!
It is the heart of a strongman that belongs to him.
"It's no problem for me."
"I was able to create the Ultimate Secret Technique 'Heaven Splitting Earth Shattering' when I World Master, and successfully break through to the Universe Venerable Universe Overlord level. Now I can do even better." Lin Yan's gaze was firm.
Years passed.
Relying on the Time Palace, every year in the outside world is like a thousand years to him. The Xue Qiao Clone endures the Will Impact in the area of Black Patterned Stone Pillar with Time Flow Rate of 3200 times, tempering his will.
Lin Yan devoted most of his energy to studying secret techniques, hoping to take it a step further, while a small portion of his energy was spent comprehending the secret patterns in the "Ni Yi Chao"... The combination of these two things made him feel more relaxed.
With his mastery of secret techniques, he could easily comprehend the Third Form Secret Patterns from ordinary Ultimate Supreme Treasure. However, the [Ni Yi Chao] is Soul Enslavement Secret Art, and there is a fundamental difference between the two. Lin Yan's foundation in this area is average, so it is naturally much more difficult for him.
Fortunately, he follows the Secret Pattern Diagram Flow, which makes it easier for him to comprehend the runes.
"The universe is composed of elementary particles..."
"Elementary particles combine to form living beings... The structure of these miniature Secret Pattern Diagram is truly profound." Lin Yan pondered the runes in the Ni Yi Chao, and couldn't help but marvel at them.
He comprehended the second layer of the secret runes in the Ni Yi Chao. Once he unleashed this Soul Ultimate Supreme Treasure, his mastery in this area would be comparable to that of the most powerful cosmic lord among the Zerg Mother Queen, the "Lord Qiu Ling." He then continued to comprehend the Third Form Secret Patterns.
One hundred years, two hundred years, three hundred years...
The Black Patterned Stone Pillar Space.
The towering Black Patterned Stone Pillar stretched as far as the eye could see, piercing into the depths of endless clouds and mist, constantly radiating an inexhaustible Will Impact, as if a massive army of millions of blood-stained black-armored soldiers were charging and roaring.
At the location of Black Patterned Stone Pillar No. 14.
During the journey back to the Primordial Universe, Lin Yan considered that almost all the powerful beings in the Black Patterned Stone Pillar Space were around the No. 2 Black Pattern Stone Pillar, which was inconvenient in some situations. Therefore, he specially moved the Xue Qiao Clone to the No. 14 location, where no powerful beings could be seen around.
Call!
A rock deep in the canyon suddenly transformed into a ferocious beast with two hideous heads and blood-red scales all over its body.
The Blood Hound slowly flew towards the Black Patterned Stone Pillar, its Will Impact impacting Lin Yan's will like a surging tide.
"Roar..."
The Blood Hound roared and continued its advance toward the Black Patterned Stone Pillar, relentlessly pushing its limits.
Its massive divine body began to tremble, and blood began to seep from its head, eyes, and hooves. Its blood-red scales tore open, and blood gushed out, as if its divine body was on the verge of collapse. But this was merely a reaction to the agonizing pain of its soul being torn apart.
Gradually...
Souls are beginning to crumble, Life Imprint are being destroyed, yet they are forcibly condensed by an invisible Will and Consciousness.
"Soon."
"So close!"
Lin Yan's will roared!
He felt it, felt himself constantly approaching that limit, about to enter a completely new realm!
The Blood Hound's body was almost twisted, its scales torn, and it looked incredibly miserable, yet it still struggled to slowly move forward.
"Break for me!!!" Lin Yan's will roared.
Boom!
It was as if the world had just been created and all things were reviving!
An incomparably powerful will, as if breaking free of shackles, suddenly emanated from the Blood Hound.
"It's a success."
"Hahaha... I succeeded!" Lin Yan cheered with joy. After a long period of tempering, his will had finally undergone its ultimate transformation.
The Blood Hound rushed toward the Black Patterned Stone Pillar, once again challenging its new limits, and the Time Flow Rate around it also increased rapidly.
"12,000 times!"
Lin Yan could sense that when his will entered the True God level, it reached its limit at Time Flow Rate of 12,000 times.
"When you're in a state of extreme tension, you can't focus on training. Now that your willpower has been broken through, you should stop in this area for the time being."
His mind instantly became serene and boundless. His Xue Qiao Clone perched on a giant rock, and the oppressive will around him gradually faded away.
After achieving a breakthrough in his willpower, Lin Yan did not choose to leave immediately, but instead devoted all his energy to Creation Secret Technique.
"Splash..."
Lin Yan sat cross-legged, his eyes fixed on the void. Vast divine power surged within the void, complex Secret Pattern Diagram continuously appeared, and countless secret techniques were born from them.
"No, that's not the feeling."
"No."
At this moment, Lin Yan completely forgot about the Panwang Mountain Inheritance, his life and passion were fully ignited, all his wisdom was unleashed, and after his will underwent a transformation, he clearly felt many inspirations surging into his mind, and the speed of his deduction and thinking was greatly improved.
"Water, fire, lightning..."
"Birth..."
"Annihilation..."
"Thunder..."
He didn't know how long he had been studying, but during this long period of study, Lin Yan had become extremely familiar with the mysteries of the Water Law, Law of Fire, Lightning Law. Unconsciously, he could even easily create a perfect Tier 5 peak secret technique based on a single Basic Laws.
However, deep in Lin Yan's heart, there was a vague feeling, and this feeling grew stronger with analysis and comprehension, but it was difficult to break through and it kept brewing.
And at the highest point of Flame Water Lake.
"Frozen Lake Thunder Fire..." The Green Line Devouring Worm clone was entrenched in the Peak Palace Supreme Treasure, its nine pairs of golden pupils staring intently at the endless blue flames containing thunder outside.
As the Water Law, Law of Fire, Law of Thunder are further analyzed, a special feeling is gleaned from the blue flames, as if this simple blue flame contains a unique charm.
Nine years have passed in the blink of an eye.
Lin Yan was completely immersed in creation... Suddenly he closed his eyes, and the endless divine power surrounding him dissipated, the Secret Pattern Diagram in the void vanished, and everything returned to calm.
In his mind, endless sword shadows instantly appeared. These were the sword techniques he had created over this long period of time. His mind was like a bright mirror, reflecting the endless sword shadows one by one.
"I saw it."
"That... is a new realm." Lin Yan had a slight smile on his lips, as if he were dreaming or waking up, as if he was dreaming of something very happy. He slowly opened his eyes again.
His eyes gleamed with astonishing light as he silently rose, holding the Xuanyuan Sword.
Whoosh—
Suddenly, a sword light, as ethereal as a dream, appeared in mid-air. The sword light was fast and light, drifting freely, and full of spiritual charm.
A stunning display of sword light swept down.
A beautiful blue lotus flower appeared in the void, and the surroundings instantly became endlessly cold, as if it were a raging blue fire or a sculpture of profound ice.
Those seemingly beautiful flowers actually concealed deadly danger; each petal, crackling with lightning, bloomed outwards.
The swirling, cold light, the abundant blue radiance, and the extreme sharpness shattered the void in an instant!
"Water and fire are its bones, thunder and lightning are its form."
"This sword strike—will be called 'Three Lives Flower'." Lin Yan chuckled softly.
The laughter was filled with boundless joy, like a dragon emerging from the abyss, about to soar into the Nine Heavens!
