…
Central Continent Manor, outside the main building.
Lin Yuan was having dinner with his rarely gathered family.
With Lin Yuan’s strength, he had already reached the Stage of Abstention from Grain and could constantly devour the energy present in the universe to replenish what he used up.
However, the tradition of dinner was not one to be discarded, as it was not just about eating food but also about bonding and communicating with family.
“I’m full.”
Lin Yi quickly finished the food in her bowl, stood up with a swoosh, and was about to head back to her room.
“Stop right there.”
Mother Lu Qiong frowned.
“Why are you rushing through dinner? What do you want to do?”
Lu Qiong directly asked.
“I want to go…to watch Peak Master Shisan’s arena battle.”
Lin Yi assertively said.
Although she was just an unranked Evolver, she had access to the virtual world and could enter the arena area to watch the confrontation between two Evolvers.
And lately, the hottest event in the Chikun Star Domain arena area was undoubtedly the personal appearance of Red Kun Lineage’s Peak Master Shisan, challenging various Evolvers.
“Peak Master Shisan…”
Lu Qiong nodded, not paying too much attention.
She too had heard of Peak Master Shisan, the pride of the entire Chikun Star Domain.
“Brother, I’ve told you many times to come watch Peak Master Shisan’s arena battles with me.”
“Peak Master Shisan is very powerful, you could learn a lot from him and maybe even get stronger.”
Lin Yi looked at Lin Yuan, unable to hold back her words.
She had been one of the first ‘die-hard fans’ to follow Peak Master Shisan’s challenge initiations and often promoted him amongst her friends.
But when it came to ‘selling’ Peak Master Shisan to her own brother, she faced resistance.
Lin Yi found that her brother seemed to have little interest in Peak Master Shisan.
This was disappointing for Lin Yi; Lin Yuan was also an evolutionary genius of Canglan Star, a once-in-tens-of-thousands-of-years talent, but that depended on who he’s compared to.
Compared to ordinary people, Lin Yuan was a genius, no doubt.
But compared to Peak Master Shisan, he was just exceedingly ordinary.
Although Lin Yuan was disinterested, Lin Yi was still trying hard.
She frequently invited Lin Yuan to join her in watching Peak Master Shisan’s arena battles.
But each time when the battle was about to begin, Lin Yuan would leave with various excuses.
It was almost as if he was deliberately acting against her.
“I have to meet a friend; you go watch it.”
Lin Yuan casually found an excuse, brushing it off.
“Alright then.”
Lin Yi felt disappointed for a while but soon got excited again.
Because she could watch Peak Master Shisan’s arena battle again in a short while.
…
Virtual World, arena area.
Lin Yuan appeared in the arena.
Suddenly, terrifying cheers came from all directions.
“Why are there so many people this time?”
Lin Yuan was somewhat surprised; although the audience was always sizable when he fought with other Evolvers, it was far less than now.
“Is it because of my opponent this time?”
Lin Yuan thought to himself, guessing the reason.
“Wanyang Lineage…Holy Son?”
Lin Yuan glanced at the opponent’s information.
The Wanyang Lineage was the absolute ruler of the Wanyang Star Domain, and their power even slightly surpassed that of the Chikun Lineage.
As for the Holy Son of the Wanyang Lineage, his status was by no means inferior to the current Lin Yuan.
It was said that this Wanyang Holy Son, with his special physique, had received intensive training from the Wanyang Star Lord, unimaginably deep in resources.
…
On the arena, the space transformed.
Lin Yuan arrived at a desolate planet.
Another figure appeared across from him, dressed in a long robe and looking quite ordinary.
“Red Kun Lineage’s Peak Master Shisan, I didn’t expect that before stepping into the Sixth Rank, I could still confront an Evolver from the Red Kun Lineage…”
The Wanyang Holy Son smiled, emanating a gentle and warm aura.
The Wanyang Lineage was the ultimate Fire System lineage, and the Chikun Lineage also leaned towards the Fire System, but placed more emphasis on space.
The essence of Chikun Star Lord’s Starry Sky Wanderer Kun was indeed a life form of space rules, Chikun Star Lord pursued both fire and space.
“Me too.”
Lin Yuan’s expression was grave.
Though they hadn’t fought yet, he felt a certain pressure from the Wanyang Holy Son, something he had never experienced before.
“Well then.”
“Let’s begin.”
Wanyang Holy Son restrained his smile.
As soon as the words fell, freёwebnovel.com
two terrifying auras collided.
…
More than ten minutes later,
Lin Yuan’s form had been incinerated into nothingness by the omnipresent ‘Wanyang True Fire’.
“Lost? Did Peak Master Shisan lose?”
“It seems Wanyang Holy Son is a bit stronger.”
“Nonsense, do you know the background of Wanyang Holy Son?”
“Wanyang Holy Son, a rare ‘Nine Yang Divine Meridian’ of our Human Race, was taken away by Wanyang Star Lord after his birth.”
“Wanyang Star Lord paid a great price to seal Wanyang Holy Son into ‘Wanyang True Crystal’ and then threw him into the core of a star.”
“For the next hundred years, Wanyang Holy Son absorbed the terrifyingly intense energy of the star core every moment.”
“When Wanyang Holy Son broke the seal, he directly possessed the power of the Fifth Rank.”
“Wanyang Holy Son doesn’t need to cultivate; with the terrifyingly intense energy inside him, he can crush everything.”
…
The audience began a fervent discussion.
The background of Wanyang Holy Son was beyond what normal evolvers could possess.
The ‘Nine Yang Divine Meridian’ alone was already rare enough—a type of physique that made one a steady sixth rank seed.
Plus, being nurtured within the core of a star for a hundred years, how could the unsealed Wanyang Holy Son not be formidable?
…
“The pure power of the Fire System, burning the heavens and boiling the earth, is indeed terrifying.”
Lin Yuan appeared in his personal space, repeatedly recalling the battle that had just occurred.
With every move Wanyang Holy Son made, it was like a star falling to the world. Although Lin Yuan followed the Dao of Taiyin and Taiyang, which gave him considerable resistance to the scorching heat of the Fire System,
he still could not hold out for long under such extreme power.
However,
although Lin Yuan lost,
he didn’t feel the slightest bit discouraged.
First, he didn’t use all his means when he confronted Wanyang Holy Son.
For example, he didn’t deploy the Yin Spirit and Yang Spirit.
If Lin Yuan were to let out the Radiant Yang Spirit and Wandering Yin Spirit, his strength could at least surge multiple times.
However, doing so could potentially expose that he was practicing the Martial Path Evolutionary Path.
Although there are many evolutionary paths in the vast sea of human civilization that can condense an ‘Avatar,’
mostly, it’s at the sixth or seventh rank that one could do so.
As for below the sixth rank, managing to refine something similar to an ‘Avatar’
is extremely rare.
Moreover, the Yin Spirit and Yang Spirit are not physical.
Therefore, it would be best not to use the Yin Spirit and Yang Spirit if possible.
Of course, once Lin Yuan stepped into the sixth rank, Yin Spirit and Yang Spirit would nearly solidify into reality; as long as they don’t appear simultaneously, there wouldn’t be much of a problem.
…
Secondly, Lin Yuan was more than happy to face such a powerful opponent.
At least in this battle, the insights Lin Yuan gained from Wanyang Holy Son far exceeded those from other evolvers he had encountered before.
“Wanyang Same Heaven…”
Lin Yuan muttered to himself.
This was the secret technique used by Wanyang Holy Son just now; without it, Lin Yuan could have held on for a while longer.
…
At the edge of Human Civilization Territory.
Several terrifying wills penetrated through.
“What should we do?”
“The disciple number thirteen taken in by Chikun Star Lord has terrifying potential, absolutely cannot allow him to continue growing.”
The first will expressed mental fluctuations filled with urgency.
When they first heard of Peak Master Shisan, they thought he was just a bit more talented and might surpass the sixth rank in the future.
But now, it seems to be much more than ‘a bit’—if not stopped, there may be another god of slaughter in the battlefields of different races in the future.
“What can we do?”
“We don’t even know the true identity of Peak Master Shisan.”
The second will sent out mental fluctuations of helplessness.
He too wished to nip Peak Master Shisan in the bud… but Chikun Star Lord had learned from a past mistake, and this time the secrecy concerning Peak Master Shisan was taken to the extreme.
“General Pan Yong, if you have any ideas, feel free to speak out. Our several races, even if we can’t help, will definitely support…”
The third will sent out mental fluctuations, inquiring the original speaker.
“Yes, General Pan Yong, we have resources, we have manpower, we definitely won’t sit back and do nothing…”
The last will also spoke up.
