Inner Universe.
The red-dressed girl stood beside the jade gourd, quietly observing the changes in the surrounding space-time.
As the spirit of the jade gourd, she could sense the slightest differences in the inner universe the moment Lin Yuan permitted it.
"The second layer is complete."
The red-dressed girl muttered to herself. The process of cultivating Infinite Void was akin to a subtle and gradual transformation of the inner universe, perfecting its microscopic structure.
The same fundamental particles, arranged differently, could unleash vastly different power.
"This second layer of Infinite Void... it's practically approaching the third layer already," she thought.
Under normal circumstances, the second layer of Infinite Void would only elevate the inner universe to the level of a Chaos Great Saint's. But now? This inner universe far surpassed that.
"What kind of opportunity did Master encounter to raise his inner universe to this level?"
She was deeply curious. Pushing beyond limits once you're already near perfection? Extremely difficult. Especially when Infinite Void had already mined the potential of the inner universe nearly to its limit.
Suddenly—
Lin Yuan’s conscious manifestation descended.
“Master,” the red-dressed girl leapt up and looked at Lin Yuan. “The universe has already completed its metamorphosis.”
“Mhm.”
Lin Yuan nodded and closed his eyes, quietly sensing the vast and endless inner universe.
It was like an unremarkable piece of carbon that had been restructured microscopically into a dazzling diamond.
His inner universe had undergone a similar transformation—its essence unchanged, yet its microscopic structure completely renewed.
“The universe’s upper limit has leapt forward tremendously.”
Lin Yuan immediately sensed a ravenous hunger rising from the very source of his inner universe.
“Feast away.”
He took out an enormous quantity of resources and allowed his universe to devour them freely.
Even though the journey through the Mysterious Emperor Universe wasn’t over, Lin Yuan had already profited immensely—feeding his inner universe to satisfaction wasn’t difficult at all.
Rumble—
With a massive influx of resources, the inner universe began expanding wildly once more.
A hundred billion light years.
Two hundred billion.
Five hundred billion.
Eight hundred billion.
It didn’t start slowing until it approached a trillion light years.
An inner universe spanning a trillion light years in scale already matched the naturally born universes birthed by the chaos void in size. For comparison, most Chaos-level cultivators had inner universes only several hundred billion light years in size.
But Lin Yuan’s inner universe was fundamentally different—it didn’t pursue sheer size, but density and quality.
Like tofu versus a silver needle.
In terms of size, tofu wins hands down.
But the silver needle can easily pierce the tofu.
The thirteen-stage inheritance Infinite Void similarly refined the microscopic structure of the inner universe, not its surface area.
“Hm?”
Lin Yuan looked toward the deepest part of his universe, where a blazing sun was roaring—its radiance blanketing the entire universe.
Only Lin Yuan could perceive this sun; it was entirely shielded from the red-dressed girl.
“The transformation of my inner universe has even caused the Sunborn Genesis to evolve further,” he thought.
It was clear that after completing the second layer of Infinite Void, the Sunborn Genesis had also grown significantly stronger.
“Of course. Since the Sunborn Genesis is now completely fused with the inner universe—part of it—its strength naturally rises when the universe itself evolves.”
Now, Lin Yuan’s inner universe contained two great thirteen-stage powers:
One was Infinite Void, and the other was Sunborn Genesis.
“My inner universe now, though only a trillion light years across, is strong enough to rival universes of tens or even hundreds of trillions of light years. That level is nearing the scale of a Supreme Saint’s universe.”
A smile spread across his face.
The sheer power of his inner universe at this moment made even him tremble. It was might that towered over any ordinary Chaos Great Saint.
He might still fall short of a Supreme Saint, but among the Chaos Great Saints, he could nearly sweep them all.
“Master, how does it feel now?” the red-dressed girl couldn’t help asking from the side.
“Excellent.” Lin Yuan’s smile deepened.
He felt more powerful than ever—so powerful that he even had the sense that if he went all-out, he might be able to break through the suppression of the Mysterious Emperor Universe itself.
Of course, even if that were true, he wouldn’t do it. It would be a waste of strength, and worse, it would cause the entire universe to collapse ahead of schedule.
There would be zero benefit to him.
The longer the Mysterious Emperor Universe remained stable—even in a collapsing state—the more Mysterious Emperor Beasts it could spawn, providing the resources Lin Yuan needed to cultivate The Mysterious Emperor Body.
“It’s more than just excellent,” the red-dressed girl blinked. “With this second layer of Infinite Void complete, Master’s transformation of the inner universe surpasses all past inheritors—by a wide margin.”
Among all the previous cultivators of Infinite Void, there had been those who trained it to the third and even fourth layers.
But in terms of the second layer alone, none could compare to Lin Yuan.
“Other inheritors of Infinite Void?” Lin Yuan wasn’t surprised. The inheritance was incredibly ancient—he was hardly its first wielder.
Many had come before him, stretching back through endless time.
Whenever a prior inheritor died or attempted the thirteenth-stage breakthrough, the red-dressed girl would take the jade gourd and drift away, appearing randomly somewhere in the chaos void.
And since she wasn’t truly a living being, she could even enter into existing universes.
When Lin Yuan swept through the Milky Way Star Domain and found the jade gourd, it had already been resting in his home universe for several hundred universe epochs.
“Master is still only in the Dominance stage. There’s tons of room for your inner universe to grow,” the red-dressed girl continued.
First, it would undergo a qualitative leap when Lin Yuan stepped into the Chaos rank. Then again at the Chaos stage’s peak. Then another when he became a Supreme Saint.
And on top of that, each subsequent layer of Infinite Void—the third, fourth, fifth—would bring further transformations.
As for the seventh layer? That was only theoretical. Created by the original founder of Infinite Void, no inheritor had ever even glimpsed it.
“It would transform the inner universe into something comparable to the chaos void itself, but the gap between the sixth and seventh layer is just too massive.”
“Practically no one can reach it.”
She looked up at Lin Yuan.
Normally, even with the sixth layer completed, the inner universe would only be tens of thousands of times stronger than an average Supreme Saint’s.
Still a mere flicker of firelight next to the radiant moon that was the chaos void.
Going from “1” to “2” might be manageable. But jumping from “1” to “a million” or “a billion” in one go?
Almost impossible.
But Lin Yuan was different. With his current growth speed and his universe’s foundation, if he could reach the peak of the Chaos stage and master the sixth layer, his inner universe would far surpass the conventional definition of the sixth layer.
That would close the gap, increasing his chances of reaching the seventh.
“The seventh layer’s still far away,” Lin Yuan shook his head slightly, not giving it much thought.
Star Tear’s Fragment World.
Lin Yuan’s Yin soul sat cross-legged. The moment his true body completed the second layer of Infinite Void, the Yin soul’s inner universe naturally transformed as well.
When it came to universe restructuring, his true body and soul were fully synchronized.
He activated a wisp of inner universe power—and immediately felt the rules of the chaos void around him slowly retreating.
“They say Supreme Saints can form realms where all the laws are dictated by their own path... have I taken the first step toward that?”
He pondered.
Though Supreme Saints were still Chaos-level in theory, their chosen path granted them overwhelming potential—allowing them to override existing laws and establish their own.
The afterborn universes they created functioned under this principle. But building one required enormous effort to ensure its stability and long-term operation.
Lin Yuan quietly suppressed his aura, letting his gaze sweep across the countless humans in the fragment world—including the nine Strongest ones. Not a single one sensed his presence.
Let alone realized his true power had already surpassed most Chaos Great Saints.
Mysterious Emperor Universe.
After acclimating a bit, Lin Yuan began cultivating the third layer of Infinite Void.
The inheritance had seven layers—though more accurately, six. Each layer altered the inner universe’s microstructure in completely different ways.
The third layer focused on modifying the very source of space-time.
“This one’s going to take a while.”
He thought to himself.
But he wasn’t worried. Time was something he had in abundance. The ancient Great Saints, after living through hundreds or thousands of universe epochs, had mostly run out of things to pursue—so they turned to the thirteenth stage.
After all, Chaos Great Saints had no path forward unless their own path allowed for the leap to Supreme Saint.
As Lin Yuan cultivated the third layer of Infinite Void and continued advancing deeper into the Mysterious Emperor Universe—
Buzz!
A distinct space-time ripple echoed from afar, spreading across half the Mysterious Emperor Universe.
“That place?”
Lin Yuan looked toward the origin of the ripple, his expression shifting.
