If given a choice, Lord Zhuo He would prefer not to conflict with Lin Yuan.
But this is a struggle for transcendence, involving hope for transcendence.
It's not just about Lin Yuan, even entities like Fantian Lord, Lord Haotian, who have survived over three hundred million calamities.
Lord Zhuo He dares to take action and fight.
"Hmm?"
"Lord Zhuo He, do you intend to strike at me?"
Lin Yuan also sensed Lord Zhuo He's killing intent, stopped his climbing, and observed his opponent.
For Lin Yuan, this scene was anticipated and not surprising.
With his climbing speed, he was destined to catch up with the leading Legendary Lords ahead.
Most Legendary Lords might refrain from acting, as having one more or less Lin Yuan doesn't enhance their hope for transcendence.
But a few Legendary Lords, especially those ranked among the front ones.
Will absolutely not willingly give up the chance for transcendence. "Galaxy Lord, if you switch to another jade staircase, consider it a favor from me, treasure? Rare finds are at your request, as long as I can provide them."
Lord Zhuo He said earnestly: "But if you insist on continuing to climb this jade staircase, don't blame me for fighting desperately."
Lord Zhuo He fixed his gaze on Lin Yuan as he spoke.
"Switch to another jade staircase?"
Lin Yuan chuckled, "Why not directly ask me to give up this path of transcendence?"
Thirty-three thousand three hundred and thirty-three jade staircases scattered across endless dimensions, global Legendary Lords climbed in succession, obtaining various intelligence about the jade staircases. One point is that a lord can only climb one jade staircase at a time.
In other words, if Lin Yuan withdrew from climbing this jade staircase and chose another, he'd have to start from scratch.
A slow step, slow every step.
Originally, Lin Yuan was already slightly behind the first batch of Legendary Lords.
Choosing a new jade staircase?
Even though Lin Yuan's climbing speed could still catch up with the Legendary Lords ahead, starting over wasn't necessary.
Isn't it possible that the other jade staircases have no Legendary Lords?
Involving hope for transcendence, those Legendary Lords would surely make choices akin to Lord Zhuo He's.
Would still strike against Lin Yuan.
"In that case."
Lord Zhuo He's figure suddenly exploded, transforming into a vast and mighty turbid river.
Lord Zhuo He's true form is an immense turbid river of endless dimensional realms, born 'spirit' at the limit of Second Layer, capable of challenging true time-life forms.
In terms of foundational mass, Lord Zhuo He is hundreds and thousands of times that of other beings at the same tier.
"Milky way Lord, let me see if your reputation matches your strength."
Lord Zhuo He's voice reverberated within the vast turbid river, its terrifying aura pressing against all archaic paths and time.
"That's…"
"Lord Zhuo He has made his move."
"Indeed, Milky way Lord's climbing speed is too fast, sooner or later, destined to collide with Lord Zhuo He."
"Hahaha, it's uncertain if the Galaxy Lord can continue to climb."
From below the jade staircase, many Legendary Lords noticed the change and stared from a distance at Lin Yuan and Lord Zhuo He's position.
These Legendary Lords held not great hope for transcendence, but seeing Galaxy Lord and Lord Zhuo He clash, they became intrigued.
Lin Yuan ascended step by step, with each Legendary Lord below lowering their heads in deference, now eager to witness Lin Yuan's true strength.
"Fight, fight."
"The more time you waste, the greater the gap I'll be able to widen."
Above the jade staircases, a shadow of dark aura glanced below, not lingering to watch but continuing to climb.
That was the Dark Star Lord, no weaker than Lord Zhuo He, possibly even stronger.
Originally, the Dark Star Lord led Lord Zhuo He by a margin but still felt unsure.
No assurance of remaining in the lead.
But now.
Lord Zhuo He, who was closely behind him, clashed with the Milky way Lord, aligning with the Dark Star Lord's interests.
Whether it was the Milky way Lord or Lord Zhuo He, both were extremely strong.
For such beings to determine victory? It can't be done quickly.
"What an intriguing life form?"
Lin Yuan observed the vast turbid river and nodded slightly, "It's said that within the turbid river, all causalities are isolated and suppressed; today, I see it for myself."
"Galaxy Lord, you still have a chance to turn back now."
Lord Zhuo He's voice echoed continuously.
"No need."
Lin Yuan shook his head, while raising his right hand, Tai Yi, Tai Chu, Tai Shi, Tai Su, the four "Tai' forces intertwined and collided.
"Suppress."
Seeing this, Lord Zhuo He, without hesitation, unleashed the mighty force of the turbid river, crushing towards Lin Yuan.
Since Lin Yuan was unwilling to retreat, Lord Zhuo He naturally wouldn't hold back; suppressing Lin Yuan swiftly and catching up or even surpassing the Dark Star Lord was what mattered.
Buzzing~ The four "Tai' forces intertwined at Lin Yuan's fingertips, rapidly expanding outward.
Wherever the 'Tai' forces passed, everything perished, matter, non-matter, rules, cosmic paths, everything, succumbed to the inevitable eradication.
Except for the eternal jade staircase, everything perished quickly, including the mighty turbid river force.
"This is" Lord Zhuo He, once assured of his victory, underwent a dramatic change in expression, in mere moments, sensing his true hody the turbid river had been over seventy nercent annihilated The river, refined to its utmost, one drop can suppress ordinary lords, but under the four Tai' forces, it had no resistance whatsoever. "Galaxy Lord, cease immediately, I am willing to let you ascend! I am willing to let you ascend!"
Lord Zhuo He immediately shouted, his tone tinged with a trace of fear.
If he had known the Galaxy Lord was so powerful, he wouldn't dare to obstruct even with ten lives.
"Too late."
Lin Yuan looked on calmly as the vast Turbid River was obliterated. In less than half a breath, all of the river's waters vanished into dust, as if they had never existed.
Lin Yuan looked up to see that Lord Zhuo He, who once blocked the stairs ahead, had already vanished.
"With my current strength, going all out, a Legendary Lord like Lord Zhuo He, who has crossed 250 million tribulations, is far from being my match."
Lin Yuan thought to himself, assessing his own strength.
To quickly conclude the battle and focus all his mind on climbing the White Jade Staircase,
Lin Yuan did not hold back at all, going all out from the start, directly utilizing the power of four of the "Innate Five Greats" he had comprehended.
The result was evident; Lord Zhuo He stood no chance against him.
Of course, being able to end the battle so swiftly was partly due to Lin Yuan's strength.
On the other hand, it was because on the White Jade Staircase, many of Lord Zhuo He's life-preserving techniques could not be used.
The White Jade Staircase, transcending all, even the will of the Supreme Rule Dao cannot interfere. On the staircase, there are only two directions to move: up and down.
Going up? It requires enduring increasing pressure and twist force,
and also realizing the direction of one's Chaotic Origin Dao's transformation.
Lord Zhuo He naturally couldn't flee upward.
As for going down?
The downward path was already blocked by Lin Yuan.
So…
Lord Zhuo He could only bear the full might unleashed by Lin Yuan.
Outside, if Lord Zhuo He found himself no match for Lin Yuan, he could still evade, he could still flee.
But on the White Jade Staircase, he had to bear it head-on.
This was the main reason for the quick end to the battle.
If it weren't on the White Jade Staircase, even if Lin Yuan could crush Lord Zhuo He, it would likely have taken some time.
"Brought quite a few weapons and arms."
Lin Yuan checked the spoils left after Lord Zhuo He's obliteration.
"Involving transcendence, it's nothing like the opportunities of Wanwei."
Lin Yuan gently shook his head.
The lords rarely carry important treasures and weapons when heading to Wanwei.
Don't find yourself with only a few opportunities while your main battle body perishes, ending up with neither blessings nor troops. But on the White Jade Staircase?
The White Jade Staircase is undoubtedly far more dangerous than Wanwei.
Yet the opportunities are countless times greater, offering hope for transcendence.
In this circumstance, Legendary Lords climbing the White Jade Staircase naturally strive to enhance their strength to the utmost, seizing the chance to transcend.
If treasures and weapons are lost, replacements can be found.
But such an opportunity for transcendence? Once missed, who knows if it will ever appear again.
Weighing the importance, Legendary Lords naturally understand the significance.
Somewhere in the infinite dimensional worlds.
"Galaxy Lord, how is the Galaxy Lord so powerful? Even Lord Haotian, Fantian Lord, they couldn't possibly…" Lord Zhuo He was incredulous. Lord Haotian, Fantian Lord, and other Legendary Lords who have crossed over 300 million tribulations are undoubtedly the most powerful in the current space-time realm.
But compared to Lin Yuan….
Lord Zhuo He easily discerned that the pressure Lin Yuan exerted far surpassed that of Lord Haotian and Fantian Lord.
Even if Lord Zhuo He considered himself not a match for Lord Haotian and other Legendary Lords, he shouldn't be utterly powerless?
Even with the special environment of the White Jade Staircase, how is it possible that he can't even last a single breath?
"Who spread the word that the Milky way Lord's strength lies in the
future…" Lord Zhuo He felt anger and unwillingness in his heart.
The most prevalent rumor about the Galaxy Lord was about his future strength.
And future strength implies not being strong in the present.
But from the looks of it now.
This is called not being strong?
"The White Jade Staircase isolates everything; here, not even the future can interfere. The Milky way Lord relies on his own strength, not the future…"
Lord Zhuo He quickly thought, realizing that not even the will of the Supreme Rule Dao can interfere, let alone the future self.
"Had better quickly choose another White Jade Staircase." Lord Zhuo He collected his thoughts and immediately dispatched another main battle body to climb a different White Jade Staircase.
"If I had known, I wouldn't have obstructed the Milky way Lord."
Lord Zhuo He felt considerable regret in his heart.
If he hadn't obstructed the Galaxy Lord, he would still be among the top three on a certain White Jade Staircase, which is far better than starting anew.
And if Lord Zhuo He hadn't obstructed, the first-place Dark Star Lord would have likely taken over the task, leaving Lord Zhuo He in second place.
On the endless White Jade Staircase.
The Legendary Lords were left dumbfounded.
The confrontation between the Galaxy Lord and Lord Zhuo He attracted the attention of many Legendary Lords below.
Initially, these Legendary Lords had high expectations for this battle.
The Galaxy Lord aside, Lord Zhuo He had crossed 250 million tribulations.
Such an existence rarely engages in combat.
Regarding the outcome of the clash between Galaxy and Zhuo He, opinions among the Legendary Lords were divided.
But the final result left all Legendary Lords in disbelief.
It wasn't that no Legendary Lord predicted the Galaxy Lord would win.
But the battle concluded too swiftly.
Was Lord Zhuo He truly so feeble before the Milky way Lord?
"Lord Zhuo He's strength?"
"It's not about Lord Zhuo He's strength, it's that the Galaxy Lord is too strong." "Indeed, even when Lord Zhuo He's true form appeared, he was still obliterated by the Galaxy Lord. Such strength… such strength…" Some Legendary Lords felt a shiver in their hearts. The stronger they were, the more they could sense the terror exuded by the Milk way Lord. That was absolute domination, a terrifying strength that crushed someone like Lord Zhuo He, who has faced 250 million tribulations.
"Fortunately, I yielded my place before the Galaxy Lord caught up; otherwise, I'd have had to start all over again." Most Legendary Lords felt immense relief, and many who had reluctantly made way felt justified. In hindsight, how wise had their actions been?
High above the White Jade Staircase.
The Dark Star Lord, who had been climbing with all his might,
suddenly turned back.
"What is this?"
The Dark Star Lord was shaken to the core, especially witnessing the repeated obliteration of Lord Zhuo He's true form, leaving his heart with an indescribable shock.
"This Galaxy Lord, his strength is definitely beyond Lord Haotian and Fantian Lord!"
Compared to the Legendary Lords watching from below, the Dark Star Lord deduced more, directly comparing Lin Yuan to Lord Haotian and Fantian Lord.
The conclusion left his heart trembling. Surpassing Lord Haotian and Fantian Lord?
"This Milk way, was he truly not a Legendary Lord over a hundred thousand years ago?"
The Dark Star Lord's mind was full of swirling thoughts and emotions.
Over a hundred thousand years ago, he wasn't even a Legendary Lord. And now, he surpasses Lord Haotian and Fantian Lord?
…
Time passed by.
After resolving matters with Lord Zhuo He, Lin Yuan continued his climb up the White Jade Staircase.
Barely half a day later.
Lin Yuan saw a Legendary Lord with a dark aura ahead.
"Dark Star Lord?"
Lin Yuan paused, looking toward the Dark Star Lord.
Among the many Legendary Lords on this White Jade Staircase, the Dark Star Lord was definitely the most powerful.
Even Lord Zhuo He was slightly inferior.
The Dark Star Lord managed to be at the forefront of this White Jade Staircase not only because he was the first to step up but also because of his inherent strength.
"Do you also intend to block me?"
Lin Yuan looked at the Dark Star Lord and said calmly.
"Block you?"
The Dark Star Lord's heart trembled. He immediately forced a smile and said, "How could I dare block someone with your strength, Milky way Lord?"
Even when it comes to transcendence, where any Legendary Lord would fight with everything they have, it's only worth it if there's hope.
Facing the Galaxy Lord with Lord Zhuo He as a lesson, what could the Dark Star Lord use to obstruct him? "Galaxy Lord, you go ahead." The Dark Star Lord immediately stepped aside.
Lin Yuan glanced at the Dark Star Lord and continued his ascent of the White Jade Staircase.
