The Lord Jingyan, dressed in a white robe with skin as white as jade, stood on a massive rock with his eyes closed. The one-eyed phantom behind him faintly glowed, constantly resisting the Will Impact. He was much closer to the Black-Veined Stone Pillar; a typical Universe Master would likely be overwhelmed and fall into a state of unconsciousness.

"Hmm?" The Lord Jingyan sensed a slight fluctuation in the silent space-time and immediately turned his head to look.

In the distance, a figure darted past him, rapidly advancing deeper into the Black-Veined Stone Pillar. Finally, to his utter astonishment, he saw that this being, whose aura was merely that of Universe Master, was actually staying in a place where powerful beings whose will had reached the "limit of the Universe Supreme Being" resided!

"This is human?" The Lord Jingyan frowned slightly, then after a brief examination, a glint of light flashed in his eyes, but he quickly concealed it, muttering to himself, "The Lord of Heavenly Heart? Is this the very interesting little fellow from the Primal Universe that the Demon Eye mentioned?"

Its voice appeared calm, but in reality, it contained a deep sense of shock!

"Without being tempered by this Black-Veined Stone Pillar, his will has already reached this level? And according to the Demon Eye, this guy only recently broke through to the Universe Master?"

Thinking of this, a surge of jealousy burned within the Lord Jingyan. A strange killing intent began to brew within its heart!

Long before he, the Lord Jingyan, became the "Universe Master," his childhood family and friends had long since died of old age. In the nearly three Reincarnation Era reincarnation, the Universe Master of the Shenyan Race were of the same race and at the same level. Due to their personalities and other factors, they naturally formed some small groups. Of course, where there are groups, there are bound to be competitors, and the Lord Moyan was its most formidable competitor within the Shenyan Race!

The relationship between the Lord Jingyan and the Lord Moyan is extremely complex, and they can be considered quite close, though unfortunately, this relationship is negative. Their competition Reincarnation Era... Both are among the most powerful Universe Master within the Shenyan Race. Even more coincidentally, they are both Universe Master follow the Soul Path Lord Moyan. Sharing the same path isn't scary; the weaker one is the one who suffers! Even with the Supreme Treasure of the "Mirror of Pure Light," the Lord Jingyan's strength is still overshadowed by the Lord Moyan.

Therefore, the Lord Jingyan naturally paid extra attention to a powerful figure whom even the Lord Moyan valued highly! Especially after discovering that this genius possessed such terrifying talent, his fear of the Lord Moyan instantly transformed into killing intent towards Lu Yan'an. In short, the entire Universe Ocean would not allow such a genius to appear!

"That area probably has a time flow rate of 9800 times, right? In that case, this guy has almost reached the pinnacle on the path of the strongest will?"

Whoosh!

A white light swiftly shot through the air, heading directly towards Lu Yan'an.

"It is the Lord Jingyan."

"How did the Lord Jingyan fly to where that newcomer is? Hiss! How could that newcomer possibly be there? The flow of time and the Will Impact in that place are probably unbearable even for the strongest ordinary beings, right?"

"This human is in trouble."

Other Universe Master noticed this scene and observed it secretly, but none of them intervened.

However, to everyone's surprise, the Lord Jingyan stopped shortly after advancing towards Lu Yan'an and began to desperately resist the Will Impact!

"Hahaha, the Lord Jingyan is in an awkward position! With its willpower, it can only reach a maximum of 3000 times the speed of time flow; any stronger and it won't be able to withstand it!"

"It's really funny! I was just about to cause trouble for them, but I underestimated my own willpower and was stopped by the environment."

Everyone had gathered together to watch the drama unfold, but the current situation is just too dramatic! A fifth-tier Universe Master wanted to cause trouble for a newcomer but was stopped by the environment. Could there be anything more hilarious?

Perhaps realizing that his every move was being watched, the Lord Jingyan let out a cold snort and then manipulated his Spiritual Force to spread outwards. Seeing this, the surrounding powerful figures no longer cared about staying to watch the show and immediately flew away from the area. After all, the Shenyan Race was simply too powerful, and unless absolutely necessary, no one would be willing to make enemies of the Shenyan Race's powerful members just to watch the spectacle.

After driving away all the powerful figures around him, the Lord Jingyan began to coldly stare at Lu Yan'an in the distance.

"Think you can rest easy just by hiding near that Black-Veined Stone Pillar? You underestimate me! Although my willpower isn't strong enough, a strong person's strength isn't solely based on willpower!"

Immediately, the Lord Jingyan activated the protective effect of Soul-type Supreme Treasure, and despite the Will Impact of the Black-Veined Stone Pillar's will, rapidly moved towards Lu Yan'an...

Just as Lu Yan'an sat cross-legged, preparing to feel the Will Impact, he suddenly saw a white light flying towards him from afar.

"Hmm?" Lu Yan'an looked closely and immediately frowned slightly. "The Lord Jingyan?"

The white light maintained a speed a hundred times that of light as it rapidly approached. After a moment, it slowed down, traced a curve, and fell onto the giant rock where Lu Yan'an was. This giant rock was enormous, and Lu Yan'an and the Lord Jingyan looked as tiny as two ants on Earth.

"Logically speaking, if the Lord Jingyan was tempering its will in a time flow region of about 2400 times, there's no way it could have come here. What's going on?" Looking at the figure gradually descending onto the meteorite, Lu Yan'an was also full of doubt.

Suddenly, his Spiritual Force detected that there seemed to be an invisible wall around the Lord Jingyan, blocking the Will Impact surging from all directions.

"Judging from this, the Lord Jingyan was able to come here thanks to the effects of Soul-type Supreme Treasure, right?" Lu Yan'an thought to himself.

"Human!" A cold voice rang out, and the white-clad figure walked forward step by step, each step seemingly covering hundreds of thousands of kilometers, leaving behind a trail of afterimages.

"Lord Jingyan the Shenyan Race, what business do you have with me?" Lu Yan'an finally stood up, looking at the white-robed figure in the distance with a relaxed and leisurely air, and said with a half-smile, "And with such difficulty?"

"Hmph!" Sensing the sarcasm in Lu Yan'an's words, the Lord Jingyan snorted coldly, then continued to slowly approach step by step. "I heard you have a good relationship with the Lord Moyan?"

"Good relationship? So this is how your Shenyan Race defines a good relationship? If that's the case, then my relationship with the Lord Moyan is indeed very good!" Lu Yan'an recalled his somewhat anticlimactic encounter with the Lord Moyan, which even involved a fight. If that counts as a good relationship, then Lu Yan'an would accept it!

"If that's the case, then I'll test your mettle. I want to see why that Demon Eye guy values you so much!" The Lord Jingyan continued to advance indifferently, the distance between him and Lu Yan'an constantly shrinking. His voice traveled to Lu Yan'an through the hazy blue light.

"Just say you want to fight? Why bother with such lame excuses?" Lu Yan'an laughed. The Lord Jingyan' extremely self-centered words successfully ignited Lu Yan'an's anger! After all, this was a region with a time flow rate 9800 times faster than the Black-Veined Stone Pillar. Lu Yan'an had reached this place entirely through his own willpower and cultivation level. Would he be afraid of someone who cheated by relying on Soul-type Supreme Treasure?

Fear? Fear is no joke! Although his soul Spiritual Force has not yet undergone transformation, his Heaven Soul has guarded his will. Even if his attack power is insufficient, his defense is secure! This Lord Jingyan is not a ruthless person like Star Lord Beichi, whose will and soul methods have reached the Void Level. Even if he really confronts it, there is no threat to his life in any way!

"Just a mere human newcomer!" the Lord Jingyan said coldly. "Then... let me test you!"

Deep down, the Lord Jingyan was very arrogant and extremely jealous of Lu Yan'an's talent! Coupled with the competition with the Lord Moyan, all these emotions instantly turned into killing intent!
