Chapter 1216: Chapter 28: Lin Yuan and Fu Xu Heavenly Venerate (Seeking Subscription)

“A giant core pillar?”

Lin Yuan looked at the towering pillar before him, his heart stirring with slight ripples.

The last time he was here, this giant core pillar had just been born.

At that time, he was both joyful and anxious, worried about being unable to protect the giant core pillar.

The truth was indeed so, even though he took no more than a tenth of a breath to refine the giant core pillar.

But afterwards, Fu Xu Venerate arrived, seizing it with just a slap.

And now.

Lin Yuan once again stood before this giant core pillar.

Unlike last time, this time Lin Yuan felt no anxiety or worry.

“Fu Xu Venerate.”

Lin Yuan quietly looked at the giant core pillar for a moment, then suddenly spoke: “Haven’t you seen enough?”

Wow!

As soon as he finished speaking.

A figure clothed in dark robes materialized.

It was indeed Fu Xu Venerate.

Lin Yuan glanced at Fu Xu Venerate without any surprise.

In fact, at the moment when Fu Yun Venerable died, Lin Yuan already sensed Fu Xu Venerate’s presence. From that moment, this strongest Venerate had been keenly observing him.

Later, many Peak Venerable fell to Lin Yuan, yet Fu Xu Venerate did not make a move.

Why did the last five top Peak Venerable, including Fu Yun Venerable, fight to the death without retreating? One reason was the dignity and face of Da Fu Ancient Country.

The other was likely Fu Xu Venerate’s secret command.

“Remarkable.”

Fu Xu Venerate looked at Lin Yuan seriously, his tone slightly in awe.

He indeed arrived early but didn’t engage.

The reason being, he wanted to see Lin Yuan’s power and techniques.

As for the eleven Da Fu Ancient Country Peak Venerable that fell? Only their main combat forms perished, not complete obliteration.

If using these eleven main combat forms as the price to probe Lin Yuan’s true capabilities is worthwhile for Fu Xu Venerate.

“Your power seems to arise from the chaotic power path you’ve developed? A path that surpasses the thirteenth-tier legacy? Remarkable, truly remarkable.”

Fu Xu Venerate wasn’t without gains, speaking rather unsteadily right now.

Normally, his status as the strongest Venerate is due to mastering one or several thirteenth-tier secret techniques.

As for the chaotic power path developed? It’s not primary, unable to compare to thirteenth-tier power.

But Lin Yuan reversed this.

Or rather, did not entirely reverse.

Fu Xu Venerate also noticed Lin Yuan cultivated a certain thirteenth-tier secret technique, but the enhancement it provided was not superior to the chaotic power path he developed.

“In the exploration of thirteenth-tier secret techniques, I am not as good as you.”

Lin Yuan smiled at Fu Xu Venerate.

Fu Xu Venerate, hearing this, remained silent.

“This giant core pillar was refined by me first. Fu Xu Venerate, you’ve had it for quite a while. Shouldn’t it be returned?”

Lin Yuan continued.

This time, his purpose here was to reclaim the giant core pillar.

Of course, if Fu Xu Venerate’s power is too overwhelming, beyond Lin Yuan’s capacity to handle, it is not necessary to retrieve it.

“Return it?”

Fu Xu Venerate remained silent.

If other top Peak Venerable said this to him, Fu Xu Venerate would not pay attention.

However, Lin Yuan?

Though he wasn’t certain precisely how strong Lin Yuan was, he knew for sure Lin Yuan was at the strongest Venerate level—even in facing Lin Yuan, Fu Xu Venerate felt a sense of pressure.

“Returning it is possible.”

Fu Xu Venerate stared at Lin Yuan, speaking up.

“As long as you, Galaxy Venerate, can take one of my strikes.”

Fu Xu Venerate said.

He didn’t wish to fight Lin Yuan to the death over a giant core pillar.

With the contested treasure land far from concluded, exhausting one’s cards would leave nothing to face the latent lethal weaponry of other Ancient Countries.

Hence, limiting it to one move.

“Okay.”

Lin Yuan slightly nodded.

Though he wished to engage Fu Xu Venerate, he knew now wasn’t the right time.

Given his cultivation speed, he could probably enhance his power further before the contest’s end, sweeping through this treasure land more assuredly.

As for now?

Lin Yuan came to see if he could reclaim the giant core pillar, though not necessary to pursue if unsuccessful.

…

At the same time.

Throughout the treasure land, various Peak Venerable similarly sensed the time-space fluctuations emanating from the giant core pillar held by Da Fu Ancient Country.

“What’s happening?”

“Why has fighting broken out there?”

Venerable from various Ancient Countries gazed distantly towards the giant core pillar’s location, perceiving a vast annihilation and collapse of time-space, with even the rules of the grand path transforming, deterring close approach.

This is the power exerted only when the Peak Venerables go on a killing spree.

“Who is it, who dares to make a move on the Giant Core Cosmic Pillar at this time?”

The Peak Venerables were puzzled; that Giant Core Cosmic Pillar has already been refined by Fu Xu Venerate, who can appear instantly. To make a move on the Giant Core Cosmic Pillar is equivalent to making a move on Fu Xu Venerate.

This is not something any Ancient Country could accomplish.

Even in the later stages of the battle for the treasure land, when all the Ancient Countries deployed their weapons, they planned to unite against Da Fu Ancient Country, hoping to capture the treasure land.

But now?

The Peak Venerables were somewhat bewildered, not knowing which Ancient Country was taking action.

…

“That Galaxy Venerate…”

Compared to the puzzled Thunderclap Ancient Country, Xuanyin Ancient Country, and Barbaric Wilderness Country’s powerful beings, the eleven Venerables of Da Fu Ancient Country watched the direction of the Giant Core Cosmic Pillar with lingering fears.

Their main bodies were completely crushed by Galaxy Venerate, the strength gap like a natural divide making the eleven Peak Venerables of Da Fu Ancient Country still unable to recover.

“Fu Yu, that Galaxy Venerate…” Fu Yun Venerable looked at Fu Yu Venerate, he was the first Peak Venerable to fall at the hands of Galaxy Venerate. Although he didn’t see much of Lin Yuan’s actions, just that moment before death made Fu Yun Venerable speculate.

“Galaxy Venerate should have crossed into the Strongest Venerable level.”

Fu Yu Venerate nodded after a moment of silence.

The so-called Strongest Venerate is the level where Fu Xu Venerate resides, which is the strongest level historically reached by Venerables from all the Ancient Countries.

The other Peak Venerables had no objections to Fu Yu Venerate’s words.

If not a Strongest Venerate, how could they so easily crush the eleven Peak Venerables?

If not a Strongest Venerate, how could it be that Fu Xu Venerate, who had arrived long ago, was unwilling to make a move?

If not a Strongest Venerate, how could they boldly invade Da Fu Ancient Country to claim the refined Giant Core Cosmic Pillar?

“Strongest Venerate…” Fu Yun Venerable took a deep breath.

Even in Da Fu Ancient Country, Strongest Venerates are extremely rare, with only a few in each era.

The vast majority of Venerables cannot even reach the Peak Venerable level, let alone the Strongest Venerate.

“Galaxy Venerate… is it because of the ancestral bloodline at the Venerate level?” Fu Dang Venerate quietly thought, and hearing Fu Yu Venerate say Lin Yuan crossed into the Strongest Venerate level, his resentment completely dissipated.

“Now, I just hope Fu Xu can fend off the Galaxy Venerate.”

Fu Yu Venerate sighed, looking towards the direction of the Giant Core Cosmic Pillar.

The other Peak Venerables did the same.

…

“Did Galaxy Venerate really go to the Giant Core Cosmic Pillar?” In another part of the treasure land, the Peak Venerables of Fierce Sun Ancient Country also looked towards the source of spatial fluctuations.

Originally in the independent space of the Fierce Sun capital, when they heard Lin Yuan wanted to reclaim the Giant Core Cosmic Pillar, although they chose to believe this young Galaxy Venerate, they still had doubts.

After all, it was too incredible.

A slight breakthrough?

Not weaker than Fu Xu Venerate?

What a joke.

Fu Xu Venerate is the Strongest Venerate, can a breakthrough to Strongest Venerate be that easy?

Still a slight breakthrough?

However, when they felt the battle fluctuations transmitted from the Giant Core Cosmic Pillar, they completely confirmed Lin Yuan’s words could be true.

“Galaxy Venerate… has he become the Strongest Venerate?”

Red Lotus Venerable still found it hard to believe. Before entering the treasure land, Galaxy Venerate once sparred with him, showing Peak Venerable prowess.

Yet in just a short thousand years within the treasure land, has he crossed into the Strongest Venerable directly?

…

In front of the Giant Core Cosmic Pillar.

Fu Xu Venerate’s gaze was deep, and all directions suddenly became illusionary, as if reality transformed into something ethereal.

“Suppress.”

Fu Xu Venerate’s expression turned solemn, he exerted his full power, raising his right hand to press against Lin Yuan.

As his right hand moved, heaven and earth, even the rules turned illusionary, ceasing to exist.

“Hmm?” Lin Yuan observed closely, the power of Yin-Yang Taiji swirling around his body, faintly forming a Tai Chi Diagram, slowly rotating.

As the right hand pressed down, the Tai Chi Diagram remained motionless, Lin Yuan’s expression changed slightly, he vaguely felt changes in time perception.

“Is it the means that affect the power of time?”

Lin Yuan thought to himself, when Fu Xu Venerate once slapped him away, he experienced this scene, having no chance to resist.

“But for me now…” Lin Yuan’s expression was calm.

This technique affecting beings’ perception of time is very terrifying, intangible and formless, sometimes it’s unknown when one is hit.

But it’s not without a solution.

If time is likened to a stream, then beings are like floating creatures on the stream, drifting with the flow, at its mercy.

But if a being is an immensely heavy stone sunk at the stream’s bottom, they naturally can ignore the stream’s pace, unaffected by its flow.

The current Lin Yuan, with his vast internal cosmos and unfathomable foundation, is equivalent to that stone sunk at the bottom, Fu Xu Venerate’s technique affecting time perception cannot shake him.

Swoosh.

Fu Xu Venerate withdrew his right hand, taking a deep look at Lin Yuan before turning to leave.

Though he did not unleash his full techniques, that previous move was indeed his full force, yet it still did not affect Lin Yuan in any way, Fu Xu Venerate realized he could hardly deal with Lin Yuan.

Unless he employed the foundational weaponry given by Da Fu Ancient Country.

But what he could employ, Lin Yuan could also employ.

If both sides use them, it equates to not using them.

Fu Xu Venerate did not wish to engage in such mutual destruction.

“Left?”

Lin Yuan watched Fu Xu Venerate turn and leave without much thought, directly beginning to refine the Giant Core Cosmic Pillar before him, and in an instant, the Giant Core Cosmic Pillar was refined smoothly by Lin Yuan once more.
