Somewhere in the vast dimensional rift.
A terrifying crack stretches across, its destination unknown. Every moment, it emits an inexplicable aura that assimilates the space in the dimensional rift, like a giant abyssal mouth devouring everything it
can.
Far from this terrifying crack, there are dimensional spaces, yet under the continuous suction of the crack, these dimensional spaces slowly move towards it.
It can be foreseen that once the dimensional spaces approach the crack, they will be completely consumed without hesitation.
"It's here."
Lin Yuan's figure appears nearby, gazing from afar at the crack that devours the universe.
"Is the target of my last trial in the first phase of thirty-six billion two thousand tribulations to completely seal this crack?"
Lin Yuan thought to himself.
Since entering the Third Realm and becoming a Time Lord ten thousand years ago.
Most of Lin Yuan's energy and focus have been dedicated to the path of transcendence known as 'Infinite Tribulations.'
'Infinite Origin' has an unclear goal, as no one knows the source of time, and 'Perfect Time Being' relies too much on fate. Lin Yuan is
unwilling to gamble his destiny.
After much consideration, only 'Infinite Tribulations' seem relatively reliable among the three paths of transcendence.
Even though there may be significant risks when the road nears its
end, the early and mid-stages are quite safe, and each tribulation successfully overcome leads to a real and tangible increase in strength.
This is the feedback from the endless dimensional realm, even for someone as strong as Lin Yuan. One tribulation, ten tribulations, a hundred tribulations may not make much difference.
But the cumulative enhancements from completing ten thousand, millions, billions of tribulations are still quite substantial.
Once the objective was clear, and capable of completing the initial dozens of tribulations, and understanding the difficulty ahead.
Lin Yuan then gradually unleashed himself and started multiple hundreds of tribulations simultaneously.
Then, he sent avatars to complete them.
This is the reason Lin Yuan was able to complete thirty-six billion two thousand tribulations in just ten thousand years.
If he were to go through each tribulation individually, not even ten thousand, a hundred thousand, a million, or a billion years would be enough to pass thirty-six billion two thousand tribulations.
Of course.
Only Lin Yuan dared to simultaneously activate dozens to hundreds of tribulations.
Firstly, his strength is strong enough that the trials in the first phase of 'Infinite Tribulations' pose no difficulty for him.
Secondly, he has the 'World-Breaking Origin Force' as a safety net, even if he encounters a particularly tricky tribulation, the 'World-Breaking Origin Force' can be spent to forcibly pass.
And the facts show that in ten thousand years, Lin Yuan has never used the World-Breaking Origin Force for thirty-six billion two thousand tribulations.
He mainly relied on his own strength to overcome them.
"In the second stage of tribulations, more caution is needed."
Lin Yuan watched the terrifying crack in the distance, while planning in his mind.
In the first stage of tribulations, the goal was essentially to complete a specific target, so Lin Yuan dared to activate multiple tribulations simultaneously.
But the second stage of tribulations? There's a small chance that Lin Yuan's mental will might be dragged into a special world, requiring him to pass tests within this special world.
Similar to entering the time cycle world to become a time being.
Once such tribulations are encountered, Lin Yuan might not be able to divide his attention to manage other tribulations concurrently.
"My current strength…"
Lin Yuan felt the immense force within him, akin to dimensional
spaces, a smile emerging on his face.
The increase brought by thirty-six billion two thousand tribulations is
indeed impressive.
Moreover, combined with Lin Yuan's own cultivation, creation of the fourth Tai "Tai Su' in the 'Innate Five Great, and subsequent
exploration of the origin world.
His strength soared, far surpassing his power ten thousand years ago.
"I wonder how my strength compares to a Legendary Lord who has undergone three billion tribulations?"
Lin Yuan was quite curious.
Ten thousand years ago, the Purple Light Legendary Lord could exchange some moves with him. Discover more novels at novèlfire.net
But now? The Purple Light Legendary Lord is simply not his match, and Lin Yuan's virtual true form ensures he stands inherently undefeated. As for other offensive maneuvers, even a slight ripple is enough to nearly annihilate the Purple Light Legendary Lord.
"It's a pity there's no real Legendary Lord who has undergone three
billion tribulations to spar with me…"
Lin Yuan shook his head slightly, feeling a sense of regret. Although his power is fearsome, his experience over the years remains
too short.
To this day, he has never met a true Legendary Lord of the three
billion tribulations.
Legendary Lords who have undergone three billion tribulations have
almost seen the end of the transcendence road, and the Returning
Ruins Lord is at this level.
Such Legendary Lords, even a mere retreat or slumber, spans entire cycles of cataclysm, and their presence can no longer be defined by spatial dimensions; they are likely roaming in a distant past or future. Unless a significant event occurs in the present time-space, it's impossible to lure these lords back.
"But the Innate Fifth Tai…"
Deep within Lin Yuan's eyes, four interweaving powers subtly exist:
Tai Yi, Tai Chu, Tai Shi, Tai Su.
The four 'Innate Tai' are intertwining, intending to give birth to the
fifth 'Tai.'
"Take it slow."
"I still have plenty of time."
Lin Yuan contained his thoughts, continuing to observe the terrifying
crack in the distance.
"According to the Supreme Rule Dao's will in descending tribulations,
the existence of this crack opposes the endless dimensional realm's operation." Lin Yuan thought: "The source that devours everything? Even dimensional spaces are not exempt? Indeed, it stands in opposition to the endless dimensional realm."
If this terrifying crack is left unchecked, and the Supreme Rule Dao's will doesn't intervene, the consequences could be extremely dire.
"For an ordinary Time Lord of the first stage, sealing this rift might require a significant sacrifice, perhaps even calling upon friends. No wonder it's considered the final calamity of the first phase."
Lin Yuan smiled slightly: "Yet for me, it's still quite simple.
After observing the rift for a brief moment, Lin Yuan had understood enough to proceed with the sealing.
Whoosh!
The very next moment.
Lin Yuan appeared near the terrifying rift.
The frightening pull from the rift couldn't shake Lin Yuan in the slightest.
With Lin Yuan's arrival.
From the depths of the terrifying rift, waves of will suddenly emanated.
"If you don't want to die, scram." These waves of will were laced with a cold, ruthless tone: "Before you, many like you have tried to seal me, yet I've devoured them all."
"Oh?"
Lin Yuan was slightly moved.
The existence of a will in the depths of the terrifying rift wasn't unexpected.
But according to the other party, there had been Lords here before attempting a sealing, only to fail?
"It seems the first stage of the 'Endless Calamity' isn't guaranteed to be overcome." Lin Yuan thought to himself.
The first phase consists of 3.6 billion and two thousand calamities, usually manageable with caution, but mishaps occur, and some Lords don't succeed.
Lords who failed to seal the terrifying rift naturally met a singular fate. That is, they were erased by the will of the Supreme Rule Dao.
"What about you? Do you wish to be devoured by me as well?" The will from the depths of the rift asked with growing interest upon seeing Lin Yuan remain.
These words were meant to lure Lin Yuan closer, for the devouring of such powerful lifeforms could nourish it.
"I believe you won't be able to devour me."
Lin Yuan stepped forward again, approaching the very edge of the terrifying rift.
"Hahahaha, fool."
The will from the depths of the rift burst into laughter, and the nearby suction surged dramatically, even space-time itself rushed toward the
rift.
"Taiyi." With a fleeting thought, Lin Yuan summoned a wisp of Taiyi Power, transforming it into chains that began to cover the terrifying rift.
To ensure a swift resolution without prolonging the ordeal, Lin Yuan intended to seal the rift at full speed without holding back.
Buzzz~ The seemingly inconspicuous Taiyi Power, as it stretched over the terrifying rift, grew larger and thicker, obscuring the sky and rapidly ensnaring the rift.
"What a terrifying method, you must be the strongest among those who seek to seal me." The will from the depth conveyed its sentiment again: "Yet, merely with these, you cannot seal me."
"Tai Chu." With another subtle thought, Lin Yuan gathered Tai Chu
power, continuing to weave them into chains to cover the terrifying rift.
Taiyi and Taichu, as the forefront of the "Innate Five Great," rapidly formed two fundamentally different chains, instantly encompassing and enveloping the entire terrifying rift.
Given Lin Yuan's current strength, even a casual display of these two powers was terrifying to the extreme, thoroughly severing the pervasive suction in the surrounding space-time.
Zzzzz!!!
The chains formed by Taiyi and Taichu Power imprisoned the terrifying rift, instantly beginning to refine and seal it.
An intangible aura permeated the confinement of the chains, causing the terrifying rift to continuously collapse upon contact with the combined power of these two forces.
"Such a method, at most, will only allow me to-" The will from the depth initially felt there was nothing noteworthy.
But in just half a moment.
The intangible aura extinguished half of the terrifying rift.
"What kind of method is this?"
"No, you can't seal me. I can offer you benefits…"
The last word remained unfinished, as no further sound or will
emanated.
For the entire terrifying rift had been completely isolated and sealed, the intangible aura even penetrated the deepest parts of the rift,
heavily wounding that will.
"Benefits, what benefits could you offer me?"
Lin Yuan was unfazed, through enduring the 3.6 billion and two thousand calamities, he had gained an understanding of entities similar to the will within rift depths.
They were nothing more than 'parasitic worms' in the infinite dimensions, remnants of a malfunctioning Dao operation.
Could the benefits they offer surpass the feedback from the infinite
dimensions?
Furthermore, bypassing the will in the rift depths would mean Lin Yuan's failure, provoking the Supreme Rule Dao to personally
obliterate him.
Lin Yuan naturally knew the choice he had to make. From afar, in the numerous dimensional spaces, strong entities sensed their home dimensions moving toward the terrifying rift but found themselves helpless. Without the power of a stage thirteen Time Lifeform, they couldn't survive long after leaving their dimensions.
Originally, these strong beings could only wait desperately as their home dimensions edged closer to being entirely consumed by the rift. But as Lin Yuan took action, they stood dumbstruck as the rift they
had deemed hopeless was rapidly vanishing. Updates are released by novel-fire.net
"Which great being has saved us…"
The beings within each dimensional space worshipped fervently, never witnessing who intervened, yet they revered and admired the
unseen savior.
"It's over."
Within just half a breath, the terrifying rift completely vanished.
The sweeping refining power of Taiyi and Taichu did not allow the terrifying rift any resistance.
Other Time Lords, even if they could seal the terrifying rift, would have to spend countless ages, enduring possibly tens or hundreds of great destructive cycles, inching their way to seal the will in the rift
depths.
But for Lin Yuan, resolving everything in less than half a breath, it was
an absolute display of overwhelming power.
In the following moment.
Boom-
The feedback from the infinite dimensions poured into Lin Yuan's
body.
As the final calamity of the first stage, its difficulty far surpassed the previous billions of calamities, naturally leading to a greater feedback
intensity.
It took Lin Yuan dozens of breaths to conclude the feedback state.
"Not bad."
Lin Yuan nodded slightly.
Although the power gain was modest, there was still more to follow.
The second stage's calamities should provide feedback no less
significant than this one after each trial.
"Time to head back."
Lin Yuan didn't bother checking anything further; he turned and left.
With even the Supreme Rule Dao confirming Lin Yuan's passage
through the trial, there was no need to verify anything.
"Hmm?"
"Many new causes and effects?"
Suddenly, Lin Yuan felt stirred, looking toward the distant dimensional spaces. With a thought, he immediately identified the source of these causes and effects.
By sealing and resolving the terrifying rift, he had spared these dimensional spaces from destruction, leading countless beings within to worship and, as a result, naturally forming a web of causal ties.
Of course, these causal connections were one-sided; only Lin Yuan could perceive them, while the other beings were unaware of Lin
Yuan's existence.
…
Chaos Void.
Lin Yuan sat cross-legged.
"With the first stage's trials concluded, it's time to begin the second
stage."
Lin Yuan enhanced his spiritual will, contacting the will of the Supreme Rule Dao, soon receiving the specifics of his second stage
trial.
"Quite simple."
Lin Yuan glanced over it, finding it manageable and promptly sent the
Taiji Primordial Spirit to fulfill it.
The power of the Taiji Primordial Spirit was now in no way inferior to
Lin Yuan's true self, though when divided into Taiyin Primordial Spirit and Taiyang Divine Spirit, it was slightly weaker.
In the boundless vastness of the infinite dimensions. Suddenly, ripples of strange energy surfaced in a distant time-space.
This energy emerged from nowhere, supreme yet immediate, rapidly
spreading and penetrating the infinite dimensions.
"What's happening?"
"What is this power?"
"It can actually affect the infinite dimensions?" Time Lords expressed disbelief, and some ancient Legendary Lords were forcefully awakened, incredulously sensing the peculiar power waves permeating nearly the entire dimensional reality.
