Void God Hall
The deepest part of the Primal Star's central region.
Space was warped to an incredible degree here. To the naked eye, the scenery ahead looked like a crumpled ball of paper, folded over itself in layer upon layer of bizarre shapes and colors. An ordinary Universe Master who came here would not even be able to tell which way was which, much less venture deeper.
Chaos City Lord led Qin Yuan and the others through this warped space for a full three hours before they finally reached their destination.
It was a hall.
No, calling it a "hall" was far too understated. It was more like a towering city that had grown out of the void, built entirely from a dark silver material Qin Yuan had never seen before. Its surface was engraved with densely packed law patterns. Those patterns were not static; they flowed slowly, as though alive.
The hall's gates stood ten thousand zhang tall. Four ancient characters radiating a faint golden glow were carved above them-
Void God Hall.
Six figures stood silently in the square before the hall's gates, as though they had been waiting for a long time.
At their head was a middle-aged man in pitch-black battle armor, with a sinister face. His eyes were an eerie, deep green, their vertical pupils radiating a chilling light that could seize one's soul. A faint blood-colored mist lingered around him: an aura of slaughter condensed after devouring countless living beings.
The Lord of Sky Wolf-the Demon Race's second-strongest expert, a sixth-order peak Universe Master!
On either side of him stood two beings with powerful auras. One was a humanoid member of the Machine Race, made entirely of silver-white metal and wielding a massive energy battle saber-the Lord of Silver Blades, a fifth-order Universe Master of the Machine Race. The other was a woman surrounded by countless tiny insect silhouettes-the Lord of Mother Emperor, a fifth-order Universe Master of the Zerg.
Besides them, there were two fourth-order Universe Masters, one from the Demon Race and the other from the Prison Race.
Each of the five followers was a powerhouse capable of holding their own. Together with the Lord of Sky Wolf himself, the six of them could sweep aside any single force on the Primal Star.
"You finally came," the Lord of Sky Wolf said, his voice deep like the growl of a beast. "Chaos City Lord, you certainly know how to keep your composure. You made me wait here for three whole days."
Chaos City Lord stepped forward, and a phantom image of the Thousand Treasure River appeared around him. The light of more than a thousand Supreme Treasures intertwined into a brilliant river of stars, its might astonishing.
"Sky Wolf, the Void Hall is an inheritance left behind by a predecessor of the Human Race. It has nothing to do with your Demon Race. What do you intend by guarding this place?"
"A predecessor of the Human Race?" The Lord of Sky Wolf sneered. "The Void God King lived in ancient times, who knows how many eras ago. When did he become a predecessor of your Human Race? Chaos, your skin is as thick as ever."
His gaze passed over Chaos City Lord and fell on Qin Yuan. A greedy light flashed in his eyes.
"This brat is the one who obtained the Void God King's inheritance, isn't he? The Lord of Stars fought him and said he had already touched the threshold of Time-Space Fusion. Tsk, tsk. A newly ascended Universe Master can actually wield power of that level... the Void God King's inheritance truly lives up to its name."
Qin Yuan met the Lord of Sky Wolf's gaze, his expression calm.
"You want the Void God King's inheritance?"
"Obviously." The Lord of Sky Wolf licked his lips. "Time-Space Fusion is a supreme technique only a True God can master. If I can obtain the Void God King's complete inheritance, my breakthrough to True God will be just around the corner, and I might even advance further! Brat, if you know what's good for you, open the Void Hall's gates obediently, and I can spare your life."
"Spare my life?" Qin Yuan laughed. "Lord of Sky Wolf, you seem to have gotten one thing wrong."
"What?"
Qin Yuan's aura erupted! Divine power at a Gene Level of 2,700 times poured out like an erupting volcano, its golden light dyeing the space for thousands of kilometers around him a brilliant gold!
"It's not a question of whether you'll spare my life-" Qin Yuan stepped forward, charging at the Lord of Sky Wolf like a streak of golden lightning. "It's whether you can leave here alive today!"
"Seeking death!"
The Lord of Sky Wolf flew into a rage and curled his right hand. A blood-colored battle saber condensed from pure devouring power appeared in his palm. With a thunderous shout, he slashed, sending a blood-colored blade light cascading down like a heavenly river. Carrying the terrifying might to devour all things, it cleaved down at Qin Yuan's head!
"Star River Domain-activate!"
Qin Yuan activated his Peak Domain Supreme Treasure. Endless starlight burst out around him, enveloping everything for thousands of kilometers. Suppressed by the Star River Domain, the blood-colored blade light abruptly lost thirty percent of its speed, and its might was considerably weakened.
"Time-Space-Return to the Ruins!"
Qin Yuan formed a seal with his right hand, and the hazy gray palm print gathered once more. But this time, infused with divine power at a Gene Level of 2,700 times, Return to the Ruins was more than twice as powerful as before!
The hazy gray palm print collided with the blood-colored blade light.
There was no earth-shaking explosion, no dazzling flash. Like ice and snow meeting the blazing sun, the blood-colored blade light rapidly melted away and crumbled under the erosion of the hazy gray palm print, returning to nothingness.
The Lord of Sky Wolf's pupils contracted sharply.
"Time-Space Fusion... it really is Time-Space Fusion!" His voice held shock, but even more greed. "Good! Good! Good! An inheritance like this is worth my personal intervention!"
"Sky Wolf Palace-descend!"
With a thunderous shout, he summoned a massive, pitch-black palace from the sky, enclosing his entire body. The Sky Wolf Palace was a Flying Palace-type Peak Supreme Treasure with astonishing defensive power. With its support, the Lord of Sky Wolf's defenses reached a terrifying level. An ordinary sixth-order Universe Master's attacks could not even graze him.
"You think you'll be safe hiding in your turtle shell?" Qin Yuan sneered.
He formed seals with both hands at once, the Time Law and Space Law intertwining madly in his palms.
"System, redeem 'Law Comprehension Acceleration (10 eras),' and apply it to the Time Law!"
[1,000 points deducted. Current points: 4,400.] ['Law Comprehension Acceleration (10 eras)' has taken effect. Duration: 6 minutes in real time.]
Boom!
A vast flood of insights surged into Qin Yuan's mind, and his understanding of the Time Law rose wildly. His comprehension of the Time Law, which had only been at the proficient level, rapidly advanced toward a higher level under the acceleration of ten eras!
"Time-Absolute Stop!"
Qin Yuan pointed a finger. This strike incorporated the deeper level of the Time Law he had just comprehended. It was not an ordinary Time Stop, but the higher-level Absolute Stop! Under this strike, even the operation of a Peak Supreme Treasure like the Sky Wolf Palace briefly stalled!
A look of horror finally appeared on the Lord of Sky Wolf's face.
"You-"
Before he could finish, Qin Yuan's next attack had already arrived.
"Time-Space-Return to the Ruins: Break!"
The hazy gray palm print gathered once more, but this time it contained an indescribable quality. It was a qualitative change produced by a deeper fusion of the Time Law and Space Law!
The palm print landed on the Sky Wolf Palace.
Crack-
A tiny crack appeared on the surface of the Peak Flying Palace Supreme Treasure!
The Lord of Sky Wolf's face turned ashen in an instant.
"Impossible! The Sky Wolf Palace is a Peak Supreme Treasure. How could it be broken by a Universe Master?"
Qin Yuan did not answer. Instead, he formed another seal, and a second palm strike of Return to the Ruins: Break was already poised to strike!
