Chapter 1295 - 40: Weighing the Demon God
Chapter 1295: Chapter 40: Weighing the Demon God
The second source world.
In the center of the world, four or five towering Source Demons were fleeing, engulfed in incomparably dark and profound Demonic Qi.
As Source Demons, second only to the Demon God, since the demon catastrophe descended, such a disgraceful scene had never occurred, especially not with four or five Source Demons at once?
Even when facing a strike from the Eternal Sect, the multitude of Source Demons would merely choose to temporarily avoid the sharp edge and retreat voluntarily. As for fleeing?
Rustle.
At this moment.
Above the four or five Source Demons, a young man appeared quietly.
"Where can you escape to?"
Lin Yuan overlooked the four or five Source Demons.
A stretch of the hand.
Time and space were scooped up.
The four or five Source Demons appeared in Lin Yuan’s palm like four or five ants.
Instantly, they were ground countless times by the Yin Yang Taiji Great Grinding Disc, transforming into the most pure essence and flowing into Lin Yuan’s most microscopic particle world within.
The pure essence the four or five Source Demons turned into could be described as vast, and in an instant, more than trillions of particle worlds were opened, and Lin Yuan’s aura invisibly rose a notch.
"Now the Source Demons in the central world are all hiding, hard to catch."
After Lin Yuan smoothly refined the four or five Source Demons, he sighed inwardly.
Ten thousand years ago, Lin Yuan reached a deal with the powers of the Eternal Sect, promising to help them deal with the Source Demons.
Since then, Lin Yuan began hunting those Source Demons from the edge regions of the world.
In this source world, most of the Source Demons were gathered in the central world, but a small portion remained in the four corners of the world.
Lin Yuan’s initial targets were these Source Demons in the four corners of the world.
Nine thousand years ago.
The Source Demons in the four corners of the world were almost completely hunted by Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan’s target naturally shifted to the central world.
There, more than ninety percent of the Source Demons were concentrated.
And compared to the scattered Source Demons in the corners, encountering a group in the central world happened at least more frequently.
Eight thousand years ago, three tenths of the Source Demons in the central world were hunted by Lin Yuan, and these Source Demons also realized something was amiss.
Though Source Demons lacked thought and consciousness, they possessed instinct, and upon noticing the significant decrease in their companions, some Source Demons started to hide.
Until now.
Besides the endless Demonic Qi, the terrifying aura of Source Demons in the central world was rarely seen, as they all hid away.
Source Demons originated from Demonic Qi, and with Demonic Qi pervasive throughout the world, if a Source Demon earnestly hid within it, even Lin Yuan couldn’t extensively pinpoint and discover them.
He could only probe bit by bit.
"In these ten thousand years of hunting, the particle worlds I have established occupy ninety-nine percent of my body."
Lin Yuan felt the mighty aura within his body and couldn’t help but nod in satisfaction.
The body contained limitless Constant Sand particles; wanting to open a world within each particle required establishing infinite Constant Sand particle worlds.
What is Constant Sand? Infinite in meaning.
Infinite Constant Sand particle world signifies an endless number of particle worlds.
These particle worlds rely on runes to operate, practicing the inheritance of the "Infinite Void".
It can be said that each particle world compares to the internal universe of a peerless Great Saint.
"Among the Chaos Void, the first source world, and the second source world’s three true bodies, the strongest must be this one."
Lin Yuan mused silently in his heart.
Purely in terms of power, even if combining the true bodies of the Chaos Void and the first source world, then enhancing them tenfold, they would not match the true body of the second source world.
Close to completing the opening of infinite Constant Sand particle worlds, Lin Yuan felt that he now had the capacity to contend with a thirteenth-level time life form.
"So far, there’s been no major problem with opening particle worlds; once it’s thoroughly completed, it can be spread to the other two true bodies."
Lin Yuan pondered secretly.
Establishing a world from a particle—doing it once or twice might be simple, but opening infinite Constant Sand particle worlds? If a mistake occurs, it could mean the collapse of the true body.
Therefore, Lin Yuan is currently only attempting it on the third true body.
Only when this true body completely walks this path, confirming no hidden dangers or doubts, will it be generalized on the other two true bodies.
As for whether it would waste time?
Lin Yuan, who has already completed the infinite Constant Sand particle worlds once, wouldn’t need much time to do it again.
The current constraint on Lin Yuan’s speed in opening particle worlds is resources.
And now, in the Chaos Void and the first source world, the two true bodies are already gathering a large amount of resources. As long as the third true body succeeds, the completion of infinite Constant Sand particle worlds on the other two true bodies can be realized in a short time.
"In these ten thousand years, besides continuously hunting Source Demons, I comprehended all the rune inheritances of the Eternal Sect, absorbing and digesting the paths taken by the Eternal Lords; otherwise, it would be impossible to open particle worlds so rapidly."
Lin Yuan nodded slightly, the operation of the infinite Constant Sand particle worlds within his body required the support of the Rune Dao.
Opening more particle worlds demands a higher understanding of the Rune Dao, otherwise maintaining the current ninety-nine percent infinite Constant Sand particle worlds would have been impossible with Lin Yuan’s rune comprehension from ten thousand years ago.
"Runes..."
Lin Yuan thought of the inheritance created by the Lord of Heaven Light.
This inheritance aids in breaking through to the thirteenth level, consisting of five stages.
Ten thousand years ago, Lin Yuan had cultivated to the fourth stage.
Now, millennia later, Lin Yuan had already entered the fifth stage long ago.
However, the fifth stage is exceptionally profound, essentially equivalent to the Lord of Heaven Light’s most fundamental understanding of runes.
Even for Lin Yuan, it remains yet to be fully comprehended.
If the fourth stage allows everything seen and felt to be runes, all usable for me...
Then the fifth level of this inheritance is that with a thought, runes are formed.
In short, cultivators who comprehend this level have mastered runes beyond the limitations of form and formlessness.
As long as they think, they can gather runes.
"No wonder the Lord of Heaven Light is confident that comprehending this inheritance will significantly increase the hope of becoming the Eternal Lord. Now it seems, it’s far more than just significant?"
Lin Yuan shook his head slightly.
With a thought, runes are formed, which means even in a time loop, the power of the runes can be used effortlessly, akin to having a machine gun with infinite bullets in the Stone Age.
Doesn’t that make one invincible?
"However, for beings below the thirteenth level, comprehending this inheritance... is extremely difficult."
Lin Yuan shook his head slightly.
Even Eternal Lords are mostly stuck at the fourth level.
Lin Yuan, having gathered all rune inheritances from this Fang Yuan World and possessing Against-Heaven’s Understanding, spent tens of thousands of years, yet has not fully comprehended the fifth level. It can be imagined how difficult it is for beings below the Eternal Lord to understand this inheritance compared to becoming an Eternal Lord.
At least a significant portion of the Eternal Lords have not fully comprehended this inheritance.
"But I’m close."
Lin Yuan’s thoughts gathered, then he took a step forward and disappeared from his place.
...
Secret World.
Lin Yuan appeared.
The Secret World was originally the stronghold jointly established by the major forces of the Eternal Sect as a last retreat.
However, as Lin Yuan continued to hunt the Source Demons, causing the number of Source Demons in the center of the world to plummet, the Secret World no longer needs to defend against them.
Now, the Secret World has begun to open to the outside, and disciples of various Eternal Sects have started to explore various parts of the outside world.
"Lord Galaxy."
The Sect Master of the Eternal Infinite Sect and others immediately greeted Lin Yuan with respect.
Ten thousand years ago, after Lin Yuan displayed the power of a single sword.
The sect masters of several Eternal Sects realized that the pressure they would face in the future might be greatly reduced.
But what all the sect leaders did not expect was that in just ten thousand years, the situation between the cultivators and ’demons’ at the world’s center completely reversed.
Ten thousand years ago, Source Demons would attack the Secret World every now and then.
But ten thousand years later, not a single Source Demon could be seen in the world’s center.
Whenever a Source Demon appears, it would be quickly suppressed by Lin Yuan.
Because of Lin Yuan.
The current major Eternal Sects feel an unprecedented ease.
If not for the endless demonic qi still permeating the outside, they might even think they have returned to the time before the great change in the world.
"Lord Galaxy, the demonic qi fluctuation detected by the Eternal Treasure..." the Sect Master of the Eternal Infinite Sect probed.
"Indeed, there were a few Source Demons, and they’ve been dealt with."
Lin Yuan nodded.
He could accurately lock onto the position of the four or five Source Demons he just hunted, mainly relying on the Eternal Treasure specifically used by the Eternal Sect to observe the four directions of the world.
This Eternal Treasure was specifically refined by Eternal Lords before the great change in the world, capable of detecting subtle demonic qi fluctuations.
Originally, such Eternal Treasures were used to defend against Source Demon attacks. The gathering of Source Demons would inevitably cause demonic qi fluctuations, and detecting them through the Eternal Treasure was equivalent to having a defense.
However, since Lin Yuan began hunting Source Demons, these Eternal Treasures meant for defense have been used to chase down the Source Demons instead.
"Are there any other special demonic qi fluctuations?"
Lin Yuan inquired proactively. He has opened up ninety-nine percent of the Infinite Constant Sand Particle World, with just a tiny bit left to complete it entirely.
"Not at the moment."
The Sect Master of the Eternal Infinite Sect’s tone was complex.
The terrifying Source Demons seemed like mere chicks to Lin Yuan.
"But there’s one more thing that needs to be told to Lord Galaxy."
The Sect Master of the Eternal Infinite Sect spoke solemnly, "Recently, the Eternal Treasure observed that all the demonic qi in this world is gathering in a certain fluctuation."
Even Source Demons can only attract a portion of the demonic qi at most.
But all the demonic qi gathering in fluctuation?
"Do you mean the Demon God?"
Lin Yuan’s tone was calm.
"Yes."
"The Demon God spends most of the time asleep, but due to Lord Galaxy’s hunting, the significant decrease in Source Demon numbers might have already alerted the Demon God..."
The Sect Master of the Eternal Infinite Sect looked grave.
Since the world’s great change, the Demon God only acted once.
That was at the beginning of the world’s great change. After that, the Demon God was either asleep or occasionally woke to overlook the major Eternal Sects, then continued to sleep.
"Yes."
"I understand."
Lin Yuan nodded.
Hunting Source Demons and alarming the Demon God is an inevitable situation.
Even if Lin Yuan slows down the pace of hunting Source Demons, as long as the number of Source Demons drops to a certain extent, it will still draw the Demon God’s attention.
Lin Yuan clasped his hands behind his back, his gaze passed through the Secret World, looking at the vast demonic qi at the world’s center.
His gaze contained a hint of expectation.
To measure the power of a thirteenth level Demon God with the Infinite Constant Sand Particle World.
