Chapter 390: Those Who Cross This Line Shall Die (Seeking Subscription)

"The Heavenly Gate, the Heavenly Gate has appeared."

"So, this is the Heavenly Gate. I feel like the entire two-dimensional world is trembling."

"I now believe that through the Heavenly Gate, we can truly leave this world."

On the mountainside, numerous powerful beings from various clans were excited, their eyes fixed on the sky above the mountain peak.

At this moment, amidst the surging force of space, a Heavenly Gate over ten meters high gradually took shape from virtuality to reality.

"The Heavenly Gate?"

The Four Divine Kings' expressions were solemn. Even though they considered themselves invincible in the two-dimensional world, they couldn't help but feel nervous now.

The Heavenly Gate was crucial for them to leave. While other powerful beings could stay within the two-dimensional world at the cost of losing some of their spiritual will, for the Four Divine Kings, the loss would be not only a portion of their spiritual will but also a supremely powerful weapon.

Even for the strongest, obtaining a weapon perfectly suited to them wasn't an easy task, let alone for someone like the Four Divine Kings.

If they were to lose this supremely powerful weapon in the two-dimensional world, it would likely take them until they became the strongest to acquire another one.

But how long would that take? And even becoming the strongest, the ultimate, the Four Divine Kings were not entirely certain.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have waited until now.

"This time, I must be the one to enter the Heavenly Gate!" The Four Divine Kings' expression was fierce, and there was a mysterious force circulating between their four arms.

"So, that's the Heavenly Gate?"

From afar, Lin Yuan was also observing the Heavenly Gate. "Such a tremendous spatial fluctuation!"

Lin Yuan was amazed. The spatial fluctuations emitted by the silver mirror were like the light of fireflies compared to the moonlight of the Heavenly Gate before his eyes.

The two were completely different levels.

"To leave this two-dimensional world, we can only rely on the Heavenly Gate."

Lin Yuan thought to himself that it was absolutely impossible to cause such a huge spatial force fluctuation with personal power alone.

Outside the scroll.

Just at the moment when the Heavenly Gate was gradually manifesting.

Dozens of mighty beings stood ready. In their estimation, if the Heavenly Gate was a passage connecting the two-dimensional world to the main universe, then when the Heavenly Gate appeared, the two-dimensional world separated by the 'blank paper' would establish a connection channel with the main universe.

By then, they mighty beings could better observe the true nature of the 'blank paper'.

They might even interfere with the two-dimensional world.

For example, forcibly 'rescuing' the powerful beings trapped within it?

With the blank paper blocking them, the mighty beings couldn't affect the interior of the two-dimensional world.

But if there was a connection in between, with the methods of the mighty beings, they could totally 'rescue' them.

However.

After a moment.

The mighty beings outside the scroll became uneasy.

"What's going on?"

"Why is the Heavenly Gate manifesting inside, but there's no change outside?"

"According to the reports of our clansmen, when the Heavenly Gate manifests, there should be a massive spatial force fluctuation, which is exactly the characteristic of establishing a spatial channel. Why is there no response from the outside world now?"

The mighty beings were puzzled.

According to the normal situation of spatial channels, when there was a spatial fluctuation on one side, there would be a corresponding one on the other side, otherwise, how could the two be connected?

"Has something unexpected happened?"

"Let's wait a little longer. Maybe because the Heavenly Gate hasn't fully manifested yet, it hasn't affected the outside world temporarily."

"Yes, let's continue to wait. When the Heavenly Gate is fully formed, it should be about time."

The mighty beings looked at each other and patiently waited again.

They had lived through long ages, and patience was the least they lacked.

At the peak of the Tian Mountain.

Just as the Heavenly Gate was gradually manifesting.

The Four Divine Kings and the other five eleven-tier perfect legendary beings rushed towards the Heavenly Gate.

Boom!

Terrifying sound waves reverberated in all directions.

In just an instant, the Four Divine Kings and the other five eleven-tier perfect beings engaged in hundreds of moves.

"Let's deal with the Four Divine Kings first."

The skinny old man glanced at the other four and quickly joined forces, pressing towards the Four Divine Kings.

In their eyes, the threat posed by the Four Divine Kings was too great. If they were left until the end, they would only be able to pick up the fruits of victory.

"Wanna deal with me first?"

"You guys are worthy?"

The Four Divine Kings laughed wildly, their four arms swinging, and a thick aura of blood spread.

Rip!

The Four Divine Kings' four arms were extremely agile. With a gentle thrust, they landed on the chest of a three-meter-tall burly man.

This three-meter-tall burly man was also an eleven-tier perfect legendary being. His face changed drastically, and his figure began to retreat violently until he stopped a hundred meters away.

Swoosh.

The three-meter-tall burly man vanished and reappeared on the battlefield, fighting alongside the Four Divine Kings.

Buzzing.

Accompanying the fierce battle between the Four Divine Kings and the skinny old man and the other five strong beings, the terrifying aftermath of their attacks almost plowed through the entire peak of Tian Mountain.

"They're too strong."

"Why are the Four Divine Kings so powerful?"

On the mountaintop, over a hundred level eleven experts who had originally intended to approach the Heavenly Gate to take advantage of the situation dared not come any closer upon witnessing the commotion caused by the Four Divine Kings and the other five strong beings.

Anyone who dared approach the Heavenly Gate now would become a target of the attacks from the Four Divine Kings and those five beings, almost guaranteeing certain death. Even with defensive treasures, they wouldn't survive.

"Damn it!"

Near the center of the mountaintop, the rear blessings of the Prison Clan held a blood-colored long knife, his face full of reluctance.

He was one of the few powerful beings on the field who dared to carry treasures. However, he didn't directly carry the treasure. His blood-colored long knife was kept in a wooden box, and outsiders didn't know what was inside.

Originally, the rear blessings had planned to shine with the blood-colored long knife as they approached the Heavenly Gate, but now they couldn't even get close to the battlefield where the Four Divine Kings were fighting.

Below the mountaintop.

The hundreds of thousands of powerful beings from various clans were incredibly shocked as they watched the battle between the Four Divine Kings and the other five strong beings.

"To be able to display such strength in this two-dimensional world, the Four Divine Kings are truly abnormal!"

"Thank goodness I came down from the mountaintop early. Otherwise, under their residual attacks, even if I didn't die, I'd be seriously injured."

"Ah, it seems like I won't have a chance to enter the Heavenly Gate. The Four Divine Kings and those five strong beings have already monopolized the six openings of the Heavenly Gate. I can't possibly live seventy thousand years in this two-dimensional world."

As they watched the battle, despair surged in the hearts of the powerful beings. Some even directly annihilated their avatars. After all, sooner or later, they would experience a fundamental loss, so they might as well face it now.

On the side of human civilization.

Evolutionists like Xuan Yuan Dao were also watching the battle under the Heavenly Gate with trembling hearts.

"Lord Bloodrain, should we give up this opportunity to enter the Heavenly Gate?" Xuan Yuan Dao couldn't help but ask. The scene of the Four Divine Kings and other strong beings fighting truly frightened her.

"Let's wait and see," Lin Yuan casually replied.

So far, the Four Divine Kings had not yet used that supremely powerful weapon.

The battle between the six strong beings looked extremely fierce, but neither side had truly exerted their full strength.

The five level eleven perfect legendary beings led by the skinny old man had not yet used any treasures either.

Under the Heavenly Gate.

"Whoosh! Whoosh!"

The six figures were fiercely battling.

"The Heavenly Gate is about to manifest."

"The four of you, hold him off while I go check the Heavenly Gate."

The skinny old man quickly disengaged from the battle, intending to head towards the Heavenly Gate.

According to the information within the two-dimensional world, after the Heavenly Gate opened, only the life forms standing in front of the gate first could attempt to push it. This meant that it wasn't directly related to strength. Even if the individual strength of the Four Divine Kings was the strongest, as long as they didn't stand in front of the gate, it was possible for the skinny old man to enter the Heavenly Gate.

"Are you daring to do this?"

The Four Divine Kings went crazy.

Between his four arms, a hazy light suddenly lit up, and a soul-shaking aura instantly covered the entire mountaintop.

"The Four Divine Kings have used that supremely powerful weapon."

The skinny old man, who had originally intended to approach the Heavenly Gate, immediately retreated.

His previous behavior was clearly to provoke the Four Divine Kings, forcing them to use their supremely powerful weapon prematurely.

If the Four Divine Kings held on a little longer and allowed the skinny old man to approach the Heavenly Gate, the other four eleven-tier perfect legendary beings would probably not sit idly by.

Boom!

A terrifying aura suddenly exploded, and the skinny old man and the other five strong beings immediately activated their treasures.

For a moment, the intensity of the battle under the Heavenly Gate escalated once again, and the terrifying aftermath almost evaporated the height of the mountaintop.

"Hahaha, you five trash think you can deal with me by teaming up?"

The Four Divine Kings swung their four arms, and each of their attacks shook the aura of the skinny old man and the other five eleven-tier perfect legendary beings.

"So powerful?"

The skinny old man's face was grim, but he didn't back down.

With the Heavenly Gate right in front of him, he was unwilling to give up unless absolutely necessary.

Now that the Four Divine Kings had the upper hand in a one-on-five battle, it didn't mean they would definitely win.

Boom!

The aura of the skinny old man and the other five strong beings rose again, resisting the Four Divine Kings' frantic attacks.

"Let's go."

"We can't stay here any longer."

"Hurry!"

The level eleven strong beings standing on the mountaintop began to sprint towards the mountainside one after another.

They had a feeling that if they stayed here any longer, they would be in mortal danger.

"Lord Bloodrain, let's go too."

Xuan Yuan Dao's tone was urgent. Their ability to withstand the pressure emitted by the Four Divine Kings and others was originally relying on Lin Yuan's protection.

Most human evolutionists didn't even have the qualifications to stand on the mountaintop. Now that the battle between the Four Divine Kings and the other five strong beings had escalated, if they didn't leave, they would be courting death.

"Leave? Why should we leave?"

Lin Yuan shook his head slightly, his gaze still fixed on the partially manifested Heavenly Gate. "I originally thought that a refined supreme weapon would unleash great power in this world, but it seems not."

"What do you mean?" Xuan Yuan Dao was a little confused. At this point, why did Lord Bloodrain, not wanting to avoid the aftermath, still talk about the power of the supreme weapon?

However.

Before Xuan Yuan Dao could recover, Lin Yuan, standing in front of her, took a leisurely step and disappeared on the spot.

Under the Heavenly Gate, the Four Divine Kings and the skinny old man and other strong beings who were previously fiercely battling suddenly felt their scalps explode, as if facing some life-and-death crisis, a great fear arose in their hearts, and they began to retreat without hesitation in all directions.

Rumble!

A figure crossed over their original positions and appeared in front of the almost manifested Heavenly Gate.

This figure, with his back facing the Four Divine Kings and the other six strong beings, raised his right hand and lightly drew a line behind him.

Only to see a constantly oscillating black aura enveloping half of the mountaintop, with the Four Divine Kings and the other six strong beings outside this black aura.

At this moment, Lin Yuan glanced at the Four Divine Kings and the other strong beings.

"Those who cross this line shall die!"

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 391: How Can This Line Move on Its Own? (Please subscribe)

Before the Heavenly Gate, Lin Yuan approached to observe, with less than half a meter between them.

Behind him, a black aura thread seemed substantial, keeping the Four Divine Kings and other eleven-tier perfect legendary beings outside.

This scene was extremely shocking. Even such superpowers as the Four Divine Kings had uncertain expressions at the moment, not daring to cross the line on their own.

Below the mountaintop.

Tens of thousands of strong beings from various races widened their eyes.

In the scene they witnessed, the Four Divine Kings and the other six strong beings were originally fiercely battling each other.

But the next moment, they all stopped and retreated, then a figure appeared in front of the Heavenly Gate.

Drawing a line with a wave of his hand, he left the words "Death to those who cross this line."

What was most unbelievable was that the Four Divine Kings and the other six strong beings really didn't cross that thin line?

They allowed the suddenly appearing figure to stand in front of the Heavenly Gate?

"What's happening now?"

"Why aren't the Four Divine Kings fighting?"

"That figure appearing in front of the Heavenly Gate is that mysterious strongman from the Blood Rain Ancient Country two hundred years ago, from the human civilization. Did he suddenly make a move and intimidate the Four Divine Kings?"

"So domineering, death to those who cross this line? He doesn't seem to regard the Four Divine Kings at all?"

The strong beings from various races quickly discussed.

They were currently on the mountainside and couldn't feel the fluctuations in aura on the mountaintop, so they could only judge by the reactions of the Four Divine Kings and the other strong beings.

On the mountaintop.

Many level eleven strong beings who had not yet left were incredibly shocked as they looked at Lin Yuan.

"So powerful."

"This human civilization's 'Blood Rain' is so strong?"

"As soon as he made a move, the Four Divine Kings dared not continue?"

The level eleven strong beings leaned closer, sensing more, thus finding it even more unbelievable.

They originally thought that with the Four Divine Kings, who had refined supreme weapons, was the strongest among all the strong beings.

Even the five eleven-tier perfect legendary beings, such as the skinny old man, needed to join forces to barely contend.

But now, Lin Yuan suddenly appeared? It should be noted that the outside world's assessment of Lin Yuan was only at the level of the nine great powers.

However, there was still a considerable gap between him and the Four Divine Kings and the other six strong beings.

"Lord Bloodrain..."

On the side of the human civilization's evolutionists, Xuan Yuan Dao and the other evolutionists were somewhat bewildered.

Over a month ago, when they learned that Lin Yuan was also from the human civilization, they were exceptionally surprised.

Based on the strength Lin Yuan had displayed two hundred years ago, even if he was not as strong as the Four Divine Kings, he had the strength to compete for the second, third, or fourth opening of the Heavenly Gate.

As for the first opening of the Heavenly Gate? To be honest, Xuan Yuan Dao never hoped for it. Coming with Lin Yuan was just to see what the Heavenly Gate looked like.

After all, she was very clear about the strength of the Four Divine Kings. Even if she joined forces with the skinny old man and others to resist the Four Divine Kings, the final entry into the Heavenly Gate probably had nothing to do with Lin Yuan.

So—

From the beginning, Xuan Yuan Dao didn't think this opening of the Heavenly Gate had anything to do with human evolutionists.

This was a competition among those special prehistoric powerful beings.

Beyond the picture scroll.

Many supreme beings were also closely watching the scenes on the summit of the Heavenly Mountain.

They couldn't peek into the scenes inside the two-dimensional world, but they could watch the memories shared by the myriad powerful beings in the Heavenly Mountain.

"The Four Divine Kings are indeed very strong."

"The entry quota for this opening of the Heavenly Gate should belong to the Four Divine Kings."

"Indeed the unique beings in the universe, the treasures of the Starry Sky Grand Alliance."

The supreme beings carefully deduced the outcome of the battle through the shared memories, and there were no surprises.

Originally, they knew that the Four Divine Kings were probably the final winners, after all, compared to other powerful beings, refining a supreme weapon that perfectly suited oneself gave them a huge advantage.

The forces behind the powerful beings also considered killing the Four Divine Kings in advance, but the result was that the Tianyu Tribe was pierced and eliminated early.

However.

Just as the supreme beings continued to observe.

They were stunned. Through the memories, they saw Lin Yuan appearing and forcing the Four Divine Kings and the other six strong beings to retreat.

"This?"

"This is a human civilization evolutionist?"

"Why is he so powerful? Surpassing even the combined strength of the Four Divine Kings?"

The supreme beings showed surprise. As twelve-tier ultimate beings, even the Four Divine Kings were not much in their eyes, at most just a little guy with potential to become ultimate.

What surprised the supreme beings was the unexpected variable in the situation.

There was actually a stronger being than the Four Divine Kings? And this strongman was from the human civilization?

"Hmm?"

A supreme being from the Starry Sky Grand Alliance frowned tightly. He was watching the Four Divine Kings' memory images, so he knew more about Lin Yuan's aura.

"Hmph!"

"No wonder you, Xia Qin, didn't want to cooperate with me."

"You humans are really hiding deeply."

The supreme being from the Starry Sky Grand Alliance glanced at Xia Qin, the supreme being, with some dissatisfaction, and said in a low voice.

At this moment, he finally understood why Xia Qin, the supreme being, had such a perfunctory attitude before.

Because the human civilization didn't need to rely on the Four Divine Kings to enter the Heavenly Gate at all.

Although the Four Divine Kings and the other strong beings didn't directly confront Lin Yuan, through sensing, it could be inferred that his strength was much stronger than theirs, to be precise, much stronger.

In this opening of the Heavenly Gate, the most likely candidate to enter the Heavenly Gate had changed from the Four Divine Kings to Lin Yuan.

"Hahaha."

Xia Qin, the supreme being, smiled.

For the past two hundred years, he hadn't asked Lin Yuan about his strength in detail, feeling that it would add pressure.

Anyway, whether he asked or not, Lin Yuan's strength wouldn't be affected.

Xia Qin, the supreme being, felt that it was better to let Lin Yuan unleash his potential.

"At least a Witch Ancestor in the Thirty-Fifth Realm."

Xia Qin, the Supreme Being, judged in his heart that Lin Yuan easily forced the Four Divine Kings and the other six strong beings to retreat, and those six were all at the level of Witch Ancestor realms thirty and thirty-one.

Just being two or three realms stronger wouldn't achieve this.

"How can this human civilization be so lucky?" Far away, several ancestors of the Tianyu Clan exchanged glances, feeling a bit sour inside.

Their Tianyu Clan had been eliminated from the beginning of the descent. At this moment, when the Heavenly Gate opened, those strong ones from the Tianyu Clan didn't even bother to come over.

"The performance of this human civilization's strong one in the two-dimensional world is not even comparable to the Four Divine Kings. His prospects for reaching the ultimate are probably not small."

The Mother Empresses of the Insect Race were quite worried. Human civilization and the Insect Race were absolute enemies, with no possibility of reconciliation.

While there might be a chance for cooperation between the Starry Sky Grand Alliance and human civilization, the Insect Race and human civilization? Even if they didn't fight on sight, cooperation was impossible.

In the eyes of the Mother Empresses of the Insect Race, if human civilization were to produce another supreme being in the future, the pressure they would face would increase significantly.

At the summit of the Heavenly Mountain.

The Four Divine Kings, the skinny old man, and the other six strong beings had serious expressions.

They were closest to Lin Yuan and were well aware of the kind of opponent they were facing.

"How can he be so much stronger than me?" The Four Divine Kings' heart surged like a stormy sea.

For over three hundred years, he hadn't spent a single day without cultivating, constantly exploring the supreme weapon integrated into his body.

Originally, he thought he was invincible in this two-dimensional world. Even against eleven-tier perfect legendary beings like the skinny old man, the Four Divine Kings were confident they could handle it.

But Lin Yuan?

At this moment, terrifying waves of fear surged in the Four Divine Kings' mind.

He had a feeling that he absolutely couldn't defeat the other party.

And even if he forcefully made a move, there was a real possibility of life and death danger.

"What should we do now?" Not far away, the skinny old man glanced at the Four Divine Kings.

Originally, they were enemies with the Four Divine Kings, but when faced with an even stronger enemy, they didn't hesitate to join forces.

"What to do?" The Four Divine Kings also hesitated.

The skinny old man's intention was clear.

Should they six join forces to test Lin Yuan?

Or should they just leave?

"Let's leave." The Four Divine Kings deeply looked at Lin Yuan and slowly retreated towards the mountainside.

He truly sensed a sense of life and death danger from Lin Yuan, so he decided to simply give up this opportunity to enter the Heavenly Gate.

For the Four Divine Kings, it wasn't worth risking their lives to compete for this opportunity to enter the Heavenly Gate. As long as they survived, there would still be a chance to enter the Heavenly Gate next time.

As for why they had fought against the skinny old man and the others before? It was simply because the Four Divine Kings felt no pressure and were confident they could defeat the five strong beings including the skinny old man.

But now?

The Four Divine Kings had no confidence at all and even had a chance of failure here. They naturally knew how to choose.

"Leave?" The five strong beings including the skinny old man saw the actions of the Four Divine Kings, exchanged glances, and also began to retreat.

Even dealing with the Four Divine Kings was extremely difficult for them, so facing Lin Yuan, who made the Four Divine Kings not dare to make a move, they knew the outcome without even fighting.

"I didn't expect that the one entering the Heavenly Gate this time would actually not be any of us." The skinny old man felt heavy in his heart, and his face showed a sense of regret.

The proactive retreat of the Four Divine Kings and the other six strong beings caused tremors in the hearts of many observing strong beings from various races.

To retreat without fighting was the behavior of the weak.

But were the Four Divine Kings weak?

How could that be possible?

Even the aura they emitted forced ninety-nine percent of the strong beings from various races to retreat from the mountainside range.

Yet now?

The Four Divine Kings and the other six were actively leaving, giving up the opportunity to enter the Heavenly Gate.

The only possibility was that the human 'Blood Rain' standing in front of the Heavenly Gate at this moment surpassed the limit that the Four Divine Kings and the other six strong beings could handle.

It made the Four Divine Kings not even consider trying to test him.

"So we're just leaving like this?"

Before the Heavenly Gate, most of Lin Yuan's attention was focused on it, but he still kept an eye on the Four Divine Kings and the other six strong beings.

"The Heavenly Gate is right here, and they don't even want to test it?"

Lin Yuan was slightly surprised. The phrase "cross this line and you die" just now was completely meant to provoke the Four Divine Kings and the other six strong beings. After all, these six strong beings had many "treasures" on them.

Other strong beings from various races didn't dare to carry "treasures" with them for fear of being looted, but the Four Divine Kings, the skinny old man, and the other eleven-tier perfect beings naturally had no such concerns.

In fact, to maintain their combat power, these six strong beings carried many treasures with them.

Therefore, from start to finish, Lin Yuan never thought of letting go of these six strong beings.

But if he directly attacked them outside the painting, there were many supreme beings watching. The Four Divine Kings belonged to the Starry Sky Grand Alliance, and their relationship with human civilization wasn't particularly bad.

If he just killed them without asking questions, it would inevitably look bad.

Killing Tuoba Ancient God and other special beings was just that—killing them. The hope for these special beings to reach the ultimate was very small.

But the Four Divine Kings? Lin Yuan knew that the Four Divine Kings were treasures of the Starry Sky Grand Alliance, and their status was not inferior to his own in human civilization.

So Lin Yuan had made the move just now, drawing a line to provoke the Four Divine Kings and the other six strong beings.

As long as they were provoked to cross the line and confront Lin Yuan, just like the skinny old man and the other five strong beings had confronted the Four Divine Kings just now, Lin Yuan would have reasons to kill them and take away their treasures.

I said whoever crosses the line dies. You all crossed the line, so it wouldn't be excessive for me to kill you, right?

However, Lin Yuan didn't expect the Four Divine Kings and the other six strong beings to be so hesitant.

"Was it the aura I released just now that scared them?"

Lin Yuan reflected on himself and probably understood the reason.

"Forget it, I won't pretend anymore."

Lin Yuan sighed, too lazy to care about appearances.

In the next moment, the "black line" that had originally encircled most of the mountaintop suddenly began to expand.

Almost in an instant, it enclosed the Four Divine Kings, the skinny old man, and the other six strong beings inside.

"Hmm?"

The Four Divine Kings were originally planning to leave the mountaintop and get away from Lin Yuan. But then they found that the black line drawn by Lin Yuan began to expand rapidly. Before they could react, they were already within the range enclosed by the black line.

"This line... How can it move?"

The Four Divine Kings were bewildered.

The skinny old man and the other five strong beings far away also hadn't reacted.

They were trying to get away from Lin Yuan, so how did they end up inside the black line now?

"You?"

The Four Divine Kings and the other strong beings immediately realized something and turned their heads to look at Lin Yuan in front of the Heavenly Gate.

"Alright, since you all crossed the line, don't blame me for taking action."

Lin Yuan turned around slowly, his gaze calm, and said slowly.

"If you want to fight, don't look for reasons."

The eyes of the Four Divine Kings gradually became frantic. Even with their mental processing speed, they realized that Lin Yuan had never intended to let them go.

Hum.

The four arms of the Four Divine Kings emitted light, and the momentum they erupted with was even greater than when they fought the skinny old man and the other five strong beings just now.

Whoosh.

Lin Yuan silently appeared in front of the Four Divine Kings, gently pressing his right hand down.

There was no fierce collision, not even a ripple of force spread out. It seemed like a gentle touch, but the four arms of the Four Divine Kings began to twist and deform faintly, as if all their limbs were crumbling into pieces. The whole person flew out and smashed fiercely on the edge of the mountaintop.

"The supreme weapon is truly well-deserved."

Lin Yuan nodded slightly. If it wasn't for a protective force bursting out from within the Four Divine Kings' four arms just now, the entire person might have been obliterated by his palm.

Even so, the current Four Divine Kings had basically lost sixty percent of their combat power.

"Go."

Seeing this, the skinny old man and the other five strong beings were originally planning to see if they could join forces with the Four Divine Kings. But seeing the latter being heavily injured by Lin Yuan, they didn't dare to stay any longer and fled in different directions.

"Can you escape?"

Lin Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, and a terrifying aura erupted from his body, spreading the dense power of blood and energy in all directions.

Wherever the blood and energy covered, the air became thick, and the skinny old man and the other five strong beings felt as if they were carrying a huge mountain, moving as slowly as tortoises.

In the two-dimensional world, suppressing and transcending all extraordinary powers, so-called domains and worlds simply couldn't exist.

The blood and energy field that Lin Yuan displayed at this moment wasn't a domain or a world, but a natural force field produced when his blood and energy physique reached a certain level of strength.

Just like in the universe, the larger the celestial body, the naturally larger its influence range. This was purely a physical rule, and it also applied in this two-dimensional world.

"Ah ah ah?"

The skinny old man suddenly turned around because Lin Yuan had appeared behind him.

"I have defensive treasures, you can't kill me." The skinny old man didn't continue to flee but stopped to meet Lin Yuan's attack.

The Four Divine Kings had completely suitable supreme weapons refined for themselves, so they looked down on the defensive treasures in the two-dimensional world.

Because in the eyes of the Four Divine Kings, with their strength, they would never need to use those defensive treasures.

But the skinny old man was different. He wore two defensive treasures and believed that even if Lin Yuan's strength was stronger, it would be difficult for him to kill him.

However.

Lin Yuan once again struck with his palm.

Chi.

The terrifying force penetrated the skinny old man's two defensive treasures, and in the end, only one-ten-thousandth of the force landed on him.

But even one-ten-thousandth was something the skinny old man couldn't withstand. In an instant, most of the skinny old man's internal organs were shattered, and he lost all resistance.

Hoo!

Lin Yuan instantly appeared behind the third strong being, and once again, a palm strike.

The fourth, a palm strike.

The fifth, a palm strike.

The observing strong beings from various races were shocked and speechless when they saw this one-sided slaughter. If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn't have believed that even legendary beings as strong as the Four Divine Kings and the skinny old man could be slaughtered like this.

Except for the supreme beings, who else could do this?

In the depths of the two-dimensional world.

This place couldn't even be considered part of the two-dimensional world anymore; it was a more concealed layer of space.

On a vast land, a man only half a meter tall lay leisurely on a chair, his eyes squinted.

In front of him was a huge scroll.

Inside the scroll, misty clouds seemed to contain a vast real world.

The man who was originally half a meter tall was sleeping, but suddenly something disturbed him. He opened his eyes, glanced at the huge scroll in front of him.

"Breaking thirty layers of world limits successively in over three hundred years, did I hit the jackpot this time?" The man half a meter tall showed surprise in his eyes and observed carefully.

"No, this talent is too monstrous. I want to see more."

The man half a meter tall pondered for a moment. "Let's continue observing for another ten thousand years and see how far you can go."

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 392: Pushing the Sky Gate (Seeking Subscription)

In the vast expanse of the universe, the expressions of the mighty beings changed.

Everything that happened at the peak of Tian Mountain in the two-dimensional world was known to them the moment it occurred.

The Four Divine Kings, the thin old man, and other legendary level-11 complete beings were severely wounded and on the brink of death as soon as they came into contact with the human "Blood Rain."

The two sides were simply not on the same level. In front of the latter, the former didn't even have the ability to resist.

Even though they possessed defensive artifacts, in the two-dimensional world, these artifacts could only exert minimal power and couldn't withstand Lin Yuan's attacks.

"Xia Qin, have your Human Evolutionists stop." The strongest of the Starry Sky Alliance couldn't sit still.

The Four Divine Kings were the most likely candidates in the Starry Sky Alliance to reach the ultimate level-11 stage of life. If they were to die so easily in the two-dimensional world, losing a part of their fundamental will, it would take who knows how long to make up for it.

It was even highly likely that they couldn't make up for it at all, leading to a decrease in the hope of reaching the ultimate level.

"Xia Qin, let's talk." The strongest of the Yu Clan immediately transmitted, two of the five complete level-11 legendary beings were from the Yu Clan.

Even for peak clans, complete level-11 legendary beings were rare, ranking in the ultimate backup sequence, and it would take who knows how long for one to emerge.

Although it was said that only their avatars fell in the two-dimensional world, the fundamental loss meant a decrease in the possibility of reaching the ultimate level, which wasn't much different from complete annihilation.

The possibility of successfully reaching the ultimate level was already slim, and now with this additional setback, attempting to reach the ultimate level was no different from seeking death.

"Oh?"

Xia Qin glanced at the other ultimate beings who kept transmitting to him.

"We agreed long ago not to interfere with the actions of our people in the two-dimensional world. It's hard for me to do anything when you approach me like this." Xia Qin said calmly.

"I'm willing to pay," immediately responded the strongest of the Starry Sky Alliance.

In the end, the Starry Sky Alliance paid a price that satisfied Xia Qin.

"So, let me ask first," Xia Qin glanced at the strongest of the Yu Clan.

"My clan is also willing to pay," said the strongest of the Yu Clan with a heavy heart, his tone stiff.

Virtual World.

Lin Yuan stood in the personal world of the strongest, looking at Xia Qin, who sat high on the throne.

"The strongest asked me not to kill the Four Divine Kings and the others for now." Lin Yuan thought to himself, faintly guessing that Xia Qin might be making deals with other ultimate existences.

After a moment.

A smile appeared on Xia Qin's face as he sat high on the throne.

"Hahaha."

"Now those old guys will suffer a bit," Xia Qin spoke, sounding quite pleased.

"Suffer?" Lin Yuan looked towards Xia Qin.

"Yes," Xia Qin nodded, "They shouldn't expect to save their people without paying a price."

With that said, Xia Qin looked at Lin Yuan satisfactorily, "You don't need to kill the Four Divine Kings and the others. I'll give you eighty percent of the price they paid."

"Alright," Lin Yuan agreed immediately.

Xia Qin only spared the Four Divine Kings and the thin old man, but didn't mention sparing their artifacts.

Lin Yuan could have taken all the artifacts possessed by the Four Divine Kings and the thin old man, then spared their lives.

"By the way, the ultimate weapon integrated into the Four Divine Kings' bodies doesn't need to be forcibly extracted," Xia Qin added, "The Starry Sky Alliance promised to exchange it for two ultimate weapons."

"Understood," Lin Yuan nodded.

For Lin Yuan, the ultimate weapon of the Four Divine Kings was no different from ordinary artifacts.

Exchanging one for two was definitely a big profit.

Two-dimensional World.

On the mountaintop.

Lin Yuan's aura enveloped the entire mountaintop. The Four Divine Kings, the thin old man, and the other six powerful beings had completely lost their ability to resist.

The numerous powerful beings below the mountaintop were in an uproar.

Lin Yuan's displayed strength was simply too terrifying, far surpassing the gap between the Four Divine Kings and other level-10 and level-11 beings.

"Why doesn't this 'Blood Rain' of the human civilization continue to act?"

"Nonsense, it must be the ultimate existence behind the Four Divine Kings, who found the strongest of the human civilization to negotiate." 

"Exactly, even if the avatars of other special beings die in this two-dimensional world, the Starry Sky Alliance wouldn't bother, but the Four Divine Kings are different. They are the Starry Sky Alliance's best hope to become ultimate beings."

The powerful beings of various races sighed in their hearts, looking at Lin Yuan standing in the center of the mountain peak, their souls trembling.

If it wasn't certain that only level-11 and below beings would fall in this two-dimensional world, they would even suspect if Lin Yuan was truly an ultimate being.

If he wasn't an ultimate being, how could he cultivate so much faster than the Four Divine Kings in this dimension that suppressed everything?

The difference between just one or two realms could be understood, and even three or four realms could be reluctantly accepted.

But the disparity between Lin Yuan and the Four Divine Kings must be at least ten or twenty realms, right? Many people believed that he was an ultimate being.

At the center of the mountain peak.

Lin Yuan opened his eyes and looked at the Four Divine Kings, the thin old man, and the other six powerful beings, saying, "Hand over all your artifacts, and you can leave."

"Hand over the artifacts?" The Four Divine Kings and the other five glanced at each other, feeling a bit relieved.

Although it pained them to hand over the artifacts, at least this avatar was saved.

"The ultimate weapon integrated into my body." The Four Divine Kings spoke softly.

"You can keep it." Lin Yuan glanced at them.

This was also specifically instructed by Xia Qin, the ultimate being.

The ultimate weapon inside the Four Divine Kings' bodies didn't mean much to Lin Yuan.

Soon after, the six powerful beings handed over all their spare artifacts.

The Four Divine Kings had four artifacts, and the thin old man had five, while the other four had a total of eighteen.

In just this battle, Lin Yuan gained twenty-seven artifacts. Adding to the artifacts he had collected over the past three hundred years, the number of artifacts on him exceeded thirty.

This didn't include the price paid by the ultimate beings outside to buy the lives of the Four Divine Kings and the other six powerful beings from Lin Yuan.

In short, if Lin Yuan could successfully leave this two-dimensional world, the harvest would be unprecedented, possessing wealth that even ten lifetimes of level-11 beings couldn't accumulate.

After storing all the artifacts in the space of the mirror, Lin Yuan voluntarily suppressed his aura, and the blood and energy force field enveloping the entire mountain peak gradually dissipated.

"You may leave."

Turning around, Lin Yuan stood in front of the Sky Gate again.

From attacking the Four Divine Kings and the other six to completely suppressing them, and receiving instructions from Xia Qin, in fact, not much time had passed.

Even now, the Sky Gate in front of him hadn't completely materialized.

"Are you an ultimate being?" Before leaving, the Four Divine Kings suddenly asked.

If Lin Yuan was an ultimate being, then they could feel slightly better. Being defeated by an ultimate being couldn't be considered a humiliation.

"An ultimate being?" Lin Yuan shook his head. "I'm not."

He wasn't just not an ultimate being; he wasn't even a level-11 life form.

Not an ultimate being. The Four Divine Kings fell into silence. With Lin Yuan's strength, he probably wouldn't stoop to lying. He was likely a reclusive level-11 evolutionary being of the human civilization.

"I'll remember this battle forever." Before leaving, the Four Divine Kings gave Lin Yuan a deep look.

From birth until now, the Four Divine Kings had never suffered such a crushing defeat, and with such certainty. 

Swoosh.

The Four Divine Kings swiftly departed.

Lin Yuan's injuries had mostly healed, reaching about sixty to seventy percent recovery. For a level-30 witch ancestor, as long as the brain and heart weren't shattered, injuries to other organs could quickly heal.

"We're leaving too."

The thin old man and the other five powerful beings also quickly departed.

For a moment, only Lin Yuan remained at the peak of Tian Mountain.

Technically, at the edge of the peak, there were still humans like Xuan Yuan Duo and other evolutionary beings.

Apart from them, all the powerful beings from various races, even those level-11 beings, withdrew from the peak, only daring to watch from afar at the foot of the mountain.

"He's too powerful."

Yuzhou Huozhu stood in a corner near the peak, looking at Lin Yuan standing in front of the Sky Gate, feeling an overwhelming sense of despair.

Originally, he thought that with the mysteries of his Blood Blade, he could try to seize the opportunity to enter the Sky Gate when it opened this time.

But reality had dealt him a harsh blow.

Not to mention others, just the Four Divine Kings and the thin old man alone could crush him, let alone Lin Yuan, who emerged and overwhelmed even those powerful beings.

"Blood Rain, your strength is unexpectedly formidable?"

On the human side, Xuan Yuan Duo and other evolutionary beings were bewildered, feeling that the surprise had come too suddenly.

How come Lin Yuan did nothing, yet he stood in front of the Sky Gate, waiting to enter once it completely materialized?

"Why hasn't the Galaxy Lord arrived yet?"

Among the level-11 evolutionary beings, Deputy Tower Lord Nalan settled his mind and began to look around the mountainside, trying to find the Galaxy Lord.

"Is this the Sky Gate?"

Compared to the awe of many powerful beings, Lin Yuan returned to the Sky Gate.

At this moment, the Sky Gate had basically completely materialized. The mysterious and intricate patterns, along with the faint pressure, made Lin Yuan's expression solemn.

Although the feeling the Sky Gate gave him was far from that of the Gate of the Myriad Realms, it was still stronger than Xia Qin's.

Not long ago, Lin Yuan had witnessed Xia Qin's intervention, reversing the flow of time to resurrect past lives.

As time passed.

Finally, at a certain moment.

The Sky Gate completely materialized.

Boom!

The moment the Sky Gate materialized.

A terrifying pressure spread in all directions.

"Hmm?"

Lin Yuan furrowed his brows slightly.

He felt that something was amiss.

With his strength, he could naturally easily withstand this pressure.

But because Lin Yuan was a level-50 witch ancestor, this pressure had already exceeded the limit of what an ordinary level-20 witch ancestor could bear.

If every time the Sky Gate opened, there was this kind of pressure, how could the witch emperors and witch ancestors from those indigenous civilizations enter the Sky Gate in the past?

"Let's push open the Sky Gate first."

Lin Yuan gathered his thoughts. After the Sky Gate completely materialized, all he needed to do was push it open to enter.

This was also the 'step' that indigenous powerhouses needed to take before entering the Sky Gate when it opened in the past.

With this in mind, Lin Yuan raised his hands, pressed them against the Sky Gate, and then pushed with force.

"Hmm?"

After several breaths.

Lin Yuan's expression changed slightly.

He couldn't push the Sky Gate?

(End of this chapter)

"Can't push it?"

Lin Yuan frowned.

Although the force he used to push the Sky Gate wasn't his full strength, Lin Yuan's power was undeniable. He was a Level-50 Witch Ancestor! Even if he only used a tenth or a hundredth of his strength, it would be enough to crush and defeat the Four Divine Kings and other level-11 legendary beings.

But now, he couldn't push the Sky Gate at all?

"There's a problem."

Lin Yuan stopped and carefully observed the Sky Gate in front of him.

The force he had just used was countless times stronger than what the indigenous Witch Emperors and Witch Ancestors might have used in the past, yet it couldn't budge the Sky Gate even a bit.

So how did the indigenous Witch Emperors and Witch Ancestors open and enter the Sky Gate in the past?

After pondering for a moment, Lin Yuan decided to try pushing the Sky Gate again.

Placing his palms flat against the gate, Lin Yuan closed his eyes calmly.

"Open for me."

The previously calm Lin Yuan suddenly opened his eyes, and a terrifying aura burst forth. The air around him seemed to solidify, and the overwhelming power surged like a vast ocean. The entire mountaintop trembled as if it could collapse at any moment under Lin Yuan's erupting momentum.

This was the first time Lin Yuan had gone all out in two hundred years.

Since reaching the Level-20 Witch Ancestor realm, he hadn't had a worthy opponent to face. 

Boom!

The terrifying aura continued to boil like scorching lava.

Below the mountaintop, the many powerful beings from various races couldn't control their trembling souls as they watched.

Compared to the power Lin Yuan displayed just now against the Four Divine Kings, the difference was like heaven and earth.

"What kind of power is this?"

"Human 'Blood Rain' just subdued the Four Divine Kings without even using his full strength."

"The Four Divine Kings and six other level-11 legendary beings not only got crushed by a human, but they didn't even reveal their true abilities?"

The shock among the powerful beings from various races was unimaginable.

If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn't have believed that within this two-dimensional world that suppressed and limited everything, there could be someone who could elevate their strength to this level.

And it was an evolutionary human at that?

"Still can't push it?"

Before the Sky Gate, even after Lin Yuan had gone all out, the gate remained unmoved.

"With the power I just unleashed, I could pierce even this Tian Mountain under my feet. How can't I open this gate?"

Lin Yuan felt absurd.

If the Sky Gate was really this hard to push open, then how did the indigenous Witch Emperors and Witch Ancestors explain their ability to open it in the past?

Could it be that this Sky Gate treated different beings differently?

Even if there were different standards, Lin Yuan's current strength should meet the threshold, shouldn't it?

"I don't believe that with my current power, I can't push open a mere gate."

Lin Yuan's expression became solemn. With all his conventional methods almost exhausted, he could only resort to desperate measures.

Galactic Master.

Lin Yuan sat cross-legged, experiencing everything happening in the two-dimensional world just like his real self outside.

"Telekinesis. Strengthen!"

Lin Yuan murmured softly. In an instant, the mark of the 'strengthen' telekinesis, deep within his flesh, suddenly began to spread and envelop everything—his flesh, soul, and everything else.

In the two-dimensional world, all extraordinary abilities were suppressed, but telekinesis of the flesh was still usable.

Therefore, while the sun god in the two-dimensional world couldn't activate any flesh telekinesis, the real self outside the two-dimensional world could.

Once activated, the 'strengthen' telekinesis would enhance everything about Lin Yuan tenfold—his flesh, soul, mind, willpower, everything.

And while the sun god in the two-dimensional world couldn't directly enhance his strength, his mind and will could still be strengthened.

In other words, once Lin Yuan's real self activated the 'strengthen' telekinesis, the mind and will of the sun god in the two-dimensional world would be enhanced tenfold.

Although mind and will couldn't directly enhance strength, they could better control power, thus unleashing even greater strength.

Why were level-11 beings able to rise and grow faster than level-9 or level-10 beings?

Their level was one aspect, but their powerful mind and will were another.

Therefore—

The skyrocketing of Lin Yuan's mind and will had a significant impact on his strength.

Boom!

Accompanied by Lin Yuan's mind and will soaring tenfold, the flames of blood and energy that seemed to burn all over Lin Yuan's body in front of the Sky Gate now had an even more terrifying aura lingering around them.

At this moment, the many powerful beings watching from the mountainside were completely speechless with shock.

Lin Yuan now seemed more majestic and grandiose than the mountain under his feet. It was as if he was breaking free from the shackles of the two-dimensional world and about to escape.

After a moment.

The aura emanating from Lin Yuan gradually subsided.

Even after activating the 'strengthen' telekinesis of his flesh, he still couldn't budge the Sky Gate, let alone push it open.

After using the 'strengthen' telekinesis of his flesh, Lin Yuan would experience a temporary weakness.

But the powerful beings on the mountainside couldn't see it. The so-called weakness was just Lin Yuan temporarily dropping from the Level-50 Witch Ancestor realm to the Level-45 Witch Ancestor realm.

And for those powerful beings, there was no difference between the two.

As for his real self outside the two-dimensional world, his sun god wasn't in any danger either.

"Still can't push it?"

Lin Yuan remained silent, looking at the Sky Gate in front of him, frowning in contemplation.

If he couldn't push open the gate even after using all his methods, then which powerful being in this two-dimensional world could?

"At my Level-50 Witch Ancestor realm, equivalent to Level 60 or 70 for other powerful beings, plus the enhancement from the 'strengthen' telekinesis of my flesh, my current strength should be comparable to a Level 90 to Level 100 Witch Ancestor."

Lin Yuan thought to himself as he looked at the Sky Gate in front of him.

Below the mountaintop.

The many powerful beings finally recovered from their shock.

Soon, they realized something.

That was, the gate in front of Lin Yuan still hadn't been pushed open?

"What does this mean?"

"With the strength of human 'Blood Rain', he can't push open the gate?"

"It's impossible. If even 'Blood Rain' can't push it open, how did those Witch Emperors enter the gate in the past?"

All the powerful beings were in an uproar. Although most of them had nothing to do with entering the gate, seeing the gate that had been seen as the hope of leaving the two-dimensional world for over three hundred years almost impossible to open now, they couldn't help but feel a sense of desolation.

If the gate couldn't be opened, then what was the point

"Let's wait and see."

"Perhaps there will be some other changes."

Numerous powerhouses continued to observe the distant huge 'scroll'.

Even though the powerhouses of the Starry Sky Alliance wanted to cancel the transaction with the powerhouse Xia Qin, they had already sent out the treasures, so there was nothing more to regret.

With the strength of human civilization, wanting to retrieve those treasures was basically hopeless unless they started a full-scale war.

Even if they started a full-scale war, it would be a case of killing eight hundred enemies while losing a thousand, utterly meaningless.

In the two-dimensional world, Lin Yuan stood before the Heavenly Gate, choosing not to continue trying.

Even activating his fleshly Mystic Art 'Strengthen' couldn't shake the Heavenly Gate; any further attempts would be futile.

"Could this Heavenly Gate be targeting me?"

Chapter 393: Eons Ago (8000 Words, Please Subscribe)

"Can't push it?"

Lin Yuan frowned.

Even though he wasn't exerting all his strength to push the Heavenly Gate, Lin Yuan's power was formidable. He was at the 50th realm of Shaman Ancestor, and a perfect one at that. Even using just a fraction of his power could easily crush and defeat legends like the Four God Kings and other level 11 peak legendary beings.

And yet, he couldn't budge the Heavenly Gate?

"There's a problem."

Lin Yuan stopped and carefully observed the Heavenly Gate in front of him.

The force he just exerted, even though it was unknown how many times greater than that of the native Shaman Emperors and Shaman Ancestors, still couldn't shake the Heavenly Gate in the slightest.

So how did the native Shaman Emperors and Shaman Ancestors manage to push open the Heavenly Gate and enter it in the past?

Lin Yuan's thoughts wandered, and after pondering for a moment, he decided to try pushing the Heavenly Gate again.

With his palms flat on the Heavenly Gate, Lin Yuan calmed his mind and gently closed his eyes.

"Open for me."

Originally calm, Lin Yuan suddenly opened his eyes, and a terrifying aura burst forth, causing the air around him to almost solidify in all directions. The dense aura of blood and qi surged like an ocean, and the entire mountaintop seemed on the verge of collapse under Lin Yuan's erupting momentum.

Full force.

This was the first time Lin Yuan had gone all out in the past two hundred years since reaching the 20th realm of the Shaman Ancestor. Since crossing that threshold, Lin Yuan hadn't unleashed his full power because there was simply no opponent that made him take notice.

Boom!

The terrifying blood and qi boiled like scorching magma.

Under the mountaintop, the many powerful beings from various races watching were unable to control their trembling souls.

At this moment, Lin Yuan's burst of aura, compared to his recent battle with the Four God Kings, was like the difference between heaven and earth. It was hard to say how much more terrifying it was than the latter.

"What kind of power is this?"

"Humanity's 'Blood Rain' just subdued the Four God Kings without even using his full strength."

"The Four God Kings, among other level 11 peak beings, not only were overwhelmed by the human powerhouse, but they didn't even reveal their true abilities?"

The shock in the minds of the powerful beings from various races can be imagined.

If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn't have believed that there could be a powerhouse in this two-dimensional world, where everything was suppressed and everything was reduced, who could elevate their strength to such a level. And it was a human evolver at that?

"Still can't push it?"

Before the Heavenly Gate, Lin Yuan had already exerted his full strength, but this Heavenly Gate still remained unmoved.

"With the power I'm currently unleashing, even this Heavenly Mountain beneath my feet could be pierced through. Yet, I still can't open this Heavenly Gate?"

Lin Yuan felt a bit absurd.

If the Heavenly Gate was truly so difficult to push open, then how did the native Shaman Emperors and Shaman Ancestors in the past explain it?

Could it be that this Heavenly Gate treated different beings differently? The standard for pushing the Heavenly Gate for the beings from various races and for the native beings wasn't the same?

But even if there was a difference in standards, with Lin Yuan's current strength, he should have surpassed the standard threshold, right?

"I don't believe that with my current strength, I can't push open this Heavenly Gate."

Lin Yuan's expression was solemn. Under his full power now, he had almost exhausted all conventional means.

To continue to increase his strength, he could only resort to his last resort, the means he could only use in desperation.

The Milky Way Main Star.

Lin Yuan sat cross-legged. Everything happening in the two-dimensional world was no different from the experiences of his true self.

"Mystic Art: Strengthen!"

Lin Yuan whispered softly. In an instant, deep within his flesh, the imprint of the 'Strengthen' Mystic Art, which belonged to the category of fleshly Mystic Arts, began to spread and permeate, enveloping everything from flesh to soul and everything in between.

In the two-dimensional world, any extraordinary means were suppressed, and fleshly Mystic Arts were no exception.

So the sun god in the two-dimensional world couldn't activate any kind of fleshly Mystic Art.

But while the sun god couldn't activate fleshly Mystic Arts, the true self outside the two-dimensional world could.

Once the 'Strengthen' Mystic Art was activated, everything about Lin Yuan himself would be enhanced tenfold, including his flesh, soul, mind, and will.

And while the sun god in the two-dimensional world had his flesh and soul isolated, the mind and will were universal.

In other words, once Lin Yuan's true self activated the 'Strengthen' Mystic Art, the mind and will of the sun god in the two-dimensional world would be increased tenfold.

Although the mind and will couldn't directly enhance one's strength, they could perfect control over power, thereby unleashing even more powerful strength.

Among the powerful beings from various races, why were the level 11 beings rising in strength and growth rate far above those of the ninth and tenth ranks? Their realm was one aspect, and their powerful mind and will were another.

So—

The surge of Lin Yuan's mind and will had a significant impact on his strength.

Boom!

As Lin Yuan's mind and will surged tenfold, the faintly burning blood and qi flames all over him, standing in front of the Heavenly Gate, seemed to have an even more terrifying aura lingering around him.

At this moment, the many powerful beings watching from the mountainside were completely speechless with shock.

At this moment, Lin Yuan gave them the feeling that he was even more majestic and vast than the Heavenly Mountain beneath their feet, as if he were breaking free from many restrictions of the two-dimensional world and about to break free.

After a moment.

The aura emanating from Lin Yuan's body gradually subsided.

Even though he had used his fleshly Mystic Arts to 'strengthen', he still couldn't shake the Heavenly Gate in the slightest, let alone push it open.

After using his fleshly Mystic Arts to 'strengthen', Lin Yuan would experience a short period of weakness.

But the powerful beings from various races at the mountainside couldn't see it at all. What they saw as 'weakness' was simply Lin Yuan temporarily dropping from the 50th realm of Shaman Ancestor to the 45th realm. And for them, there was no difference between the two.

"No problem," Yan Fu steadied himself and walked up to the Heavenly Gate, pushing with all his strength.

A moment later,

"Sir, I can't push it," Yan Fu said cautiously.

"I understand," Lin Yuan nodded.

At the same time, he reached a conclusion.

There was no difference between the Celestial Masters and the indigenous life forms in pushing open the Heavenly Gate.

"Is it because of our arrival that the difficulty of pushing open the Heavenly Gate has skyrocketed?" Lin Yuan thought to himself.

Now this was the only possibility that made sense.

"How much has the difficulty of pushing open the Heavenly Gate skyrocketed? What kind of strength is needed to push it open?"

Thinking about this, Lin Yuan also felt a sense of frustration similar to other Celestial Masters. Not knowing the target, he suddenly felt a bit disheartened.

"Hmm?"

"Is there something wrong with my state of mind?"

Lin Yuan immediately noticed his change.

His originally rippling state of mind suddenly became calm.

"In just over three hundred years, I have reached the fifty realms of Celestial Masters. When the Heavenly Gate appears again next time, my strength will far surpass what it is now."

Lin Yuan's gaze faintly revealed sharpness.

"Even if the next opening of the Heavenly Gate doesn't work out, then the one after that, or the one after that. My comprehension is extraordinary. As long as I'm given time, the possibilities are endless."

Lin Yuan's state of mind was unprecedentedly firm.

As time passed,

The manifested Heavenly Gate began to slowly dissipate.

"The Heavenly Gate is dissipating again?"

"It seems that even someone as strong as Lord 'Blood Rain' couldn't enter the Heavenly Gate."

"What should we do now? Is it still necessary to stay in this two-dimensional world?"

Many Celestial Masters felt extremely hopeless.

"The Heavenly Gate is about to disappear."

Standing in front of the Heavenly Gate, Lin Yuan also noticed the change.

However, Lin Yuan didn't stop it; instead, he quietly watched as the Heavenly Gate completely disappeared.

"Continue practicing."

"Set a goal: in ten thousand years, by the next opening of the Heavenly Gate, I must at least cultivate to the realm of a hundred Celestial Masters."

Lin Yuan turned away without hesitation, leaving the summit of Mount Tianshan.

What Lin Yuan didn't know was that his inability to push open the Heavenly Gate had nothing to do with his own strength.

It was because, deep within the two-dimensional world, a mysterious entity wanted to observe his growth over the next ten thousand years.

So, this time, the Heavenly Gate that opened was directly sealed shut, and no life form could push it open to enter.

Even if Lin Yuan had immense strength, unless he could completely break through the limitations and suppression of the two-dimensional world, he couldn't push open the Heavenly Gate.

But breaking through the restrictions and suppression of the two-dimensional world was something even Celestial Masters couldn't achieve.

Although a twelfth-level Celestial Master could resist being sucked in by the 'blank paper,' once they fell in, they would still be suppressed. At most, they could display some extraordinary power like those miraculous objects, but that was all.

The distance to completely breaking through the limitations and suppression of the two-dimensional world was incredibly far.

At the gathering place of Luo River,

After leaving the summit of Mount Tianshan, Lin Yuan returned here.

"The difficulty of advancing further after reaching the fifty realms of Celestial Masters is far greater than before," Lin Yuan thought to himself.

This was also the goal he set for himself, which was why, before the next opening of the Heavenly Gate, he only aimed to cultivate to the realm of a hundred Celestial Masters.

In just over three hundred years, he had reached the fifty realms of Celestial Masters, but in the following ten thousand years, he had only advanced to the hundredth realm. This was because the room for improvement after the fifty realms was too small.

The difficulty from the fifty realms to the fifty-first realm was estimated to be greater than from the first realm to the fiftieth realm.

"Conventional seclusion doesn't have much effect," Lin Yuan thought.

"In fact, even if I can't push open the Heavenly Gate, I still have the possibility of escaping from the two-dimensional world," Lin Yuan sat cross-legged.

Even though no one, not even a twelfth-level Celestial Master, could fish people out through the 'blank paper,' Lin Yuan, with the 'Gate of Ten Thousand Realms,' or more accurately, with the physical shuttle of the Gate of Ten Thousand Realms, could leave this two-dimensional world. It was just a matter of consuming fifty threads of power to break through the realm.

The only problem with doing so was what would happen after the shuttle ended—would his Sun God return to the main universe and still appear in the two-dimensional world?

If it did, then the so-called physical shuttle would be meaningless because he would still be limited and suppressed by the two-dimensional world.

In addition, the shuttle method of the Gate of Ten Thousand Realms would also face this problem: whether he would return to the two-dimensional world after returning.

"Let's continue to observe," Lin Yuan narrowed his thoughts.

Unless absolutely necessary, Lin Yuan wouldn't easily use this method.

To directly disappear from within the two-dimensional world? Current indications showed that the blank paper squeezing into the universe likely had independent will.

At the very least, it was a similar existence to the Spirit of the Secret Realm in the Profound Yellow Secret Realm.

Otherwise, how could one explain why the difficulty of pushing open the Heavenly Gate changed after the arrival of Celestial Masters?

Therefore,

To directly use the Gate of Ten Thousand Realms to escape the two-dimensional world, even if it was just a temporary escape, would surely attract the attention of the entity within the two-dimensional world.

To easily break free from the suppression and limitations of the two-dimensional world was something even a twelfth-level Celestial Master couldn't do. If Lin Yuan did so, it would be too conspicuous.

For Lin Yuan, the worst-case scenario would be abandoning this Sun God. Even if it caused defects in the path of martial evolution, it could be compensated for with his extraordinary comprehension.

Even if it couldn't be compensated for, since Lin Yuan could open up the path of martial evolution, he could also open up paths equal to or better than other paths of martial evolution, simply by switching to other paths.

Given Lin Yuan's current position in human civilization, starting over would be much easier than before.

After pondering for a moment,

Lin Yuan's mind returned to his cultivation.

"When I activate the 'Enhancement' divine ability, my willpower significantly increases, leading to a substantial increase in my control over strength, thus allowing me to glimpse more of the essence of this world," Lin Yuan thought to himself.

"If there's a chance next time, I might as well activate the 'Enhancement' divine ability more often."

The biggest risk of the 'Enhancement' divine ability was that it would lead to a brief period of weakness after activation.

However, if it was ensured to be in a safe enough environment, it could also be used as a means of cultivation.

The strong willpower not only had great benefits for Lin Yuan's comprehension of the essence of power in this two-dimensional world but also significantly improved the efficiency of his external true body sensing various rules. In short, it was an all-around enhancement.

As for the subsequent period of weakness, it was only a weakness in strength; it didn't affect his understanding of the rules and the power they brought.

Xia You Evolution Tower.

Xia Qin, the formidable presence, looked at Lin Yuan and asked with concern, "Really can't push open the Heavenly Gate?"

The inability to push open the Heavenly Gate had become a recognized fact among the Celestial Masters. Even the formidable human "Blood Rain," who could take on the Four Divine Kings, couldn't budge it. This practically spelled the death sentence for all Celestial Masters within the two-dimensional world.

However, Xia Qin, a Celestial Master himself, still wanted to understand more about the situation.

"Can't push it open," Lin Yuan nodded.

There was no need to lie or hide the truth from a Celestial Master.

"This is troublesome," Xia Qin frowned slightly.

If the Heavenly Gate couldn't be pushed open, it meant that Lin Yuan couldn't actively leave the two-dimensional world. And outside the scroll, they Celestial Masters had no way to influence the two-dimensional world, essentially trapping them in a dead end.

Although some Celestial Masters proposed waiting to see if there would be any changes after the next opening of the Heavenly Gate, Xia Qin remained deeply concerned.

"What's your plan now?" Xia Qin asked.

"I'll continue to cultivate and wait for the next opening of the Heavenly Gate," Lin Yuan replied calmly.

"Good," Xia Qin nodded. He could sense that Lin Yuan's mindset remained unaffected, which was quite remarkable.

Many strong individuals could face adversity without giving up, but to remain unyielding even in dire situations was exceptionally difficult.

It was undoubtedly the most significant period of advancement in strength for Celestial Masters in the three hundred years since their arrival in the two-dimensional world. They had already reached the bottleneck of the world's restrictions.

Even after another ten thousand years, the advancement in their strength probably wouldn't be as significant as the first three hundred years.

Reaching a higher level from the current position was easier said than done.

"Don't worry, I've discussed it with other Celestial Masters," Xia Qin said solemnly. "If all else fails, I'll use the inherent power to see if we can forcefully tear through that blank paper."

Since the entry of the "blank paper" into the universe, Xia Qin and the other Celestial Masters had been cautiously testing without resorting to extreme measures.

This was partly because they were afraid of triggering more changes in the blank paper and partly to avoid damaging it as much as possible.

However, now that many probing methods were useless, they were left with no choice but to resort to force.

"Thank you, Celestial Master," Lin Yuan said.

The inherent power of human civilization certainly couldn't be used lightly, especially when facing the unknown blank paper. But Lin Yuan was too important to human civilization. Xia Qin and the other nine Celestial Masters didn't want to see Lin Yuan's incarnation perish in the two-dimensional world, leading to fundamental losses.

Leaving Xia Qin's personal world,

Lin Yuan's main body continued to sense the fluctuations of the rules.

"I've occupied ten of the twelve guiding spaces on the Black Planet," Lin Yuan thought to himself. In the past two to three years, he had successively comprehended three more fusion rules at the pillar level.

For Lin Yuan's current level, comprehending fusion rules at the pillar level was simple; the difficulty lay in cultivating these fusion rules to higher realms.

Lin Yuan's first comprehension, the Rule of Life and Death, was still stuck at the second realm. Even with the assistance of the guiding spaces on the Black Planet, the distance to the third realm was still quite far.

"I'm still too greedy," Lin Yuan shook his head slightly, forgetting that he was only at the tenth level.

The ultimate goal of a tenth-level strong individual was probably to comprehend a fusion rule at the pillar level, ranking it as an A-grade.

However, what Lin Yuan had comprehended, the so-called fusion rules at the pillar level, were effortlessly achieved by him, and the fusion rules he comprehended were all powerful fusion rules formed by the fusion of three or more pillar rules.

Virtual world.

Nalan, the deputy tower master, found Lin Yuan.

"Galactic Lord, you should really go to Mount Tianshan," Nalan couldn't help but say.

When the Heavenly Gate opened on the summit of Mount Tianshan, Nalan searched for Lin Yuan among many Celestial Masters but couldn't find him.

So he thought Lin Yuan probably hadn't gone to Mount Tianshan.

It was quite normal.

Not all Celestial Masters would go to Mount Tianshan.

For example, the Celestial Masters of the Heavenly Feather Clan basically didn't go to Mount Tianshan.

And some Celestial Masters who knew they had no hope of entering the Heavenly Gate wouldn't go either.

In Nalan's view, Lin Yuan probably belonged to the latter category. Moreover, as the strongest genius in human civilization's history, if he appeared on Mount Tianshan, it would probably attract the attention of other Celestial Masters, causing unnecessary trouble.

"Our human civilization's 'Blood Rain' went on a killing spree on the summit of Mount Tianshan, crushing powerful special beings like the Four Divine Kings into the ground," Nalan sighed with emotion. To this day, the scenes from the summit of Mount Tianshan still flashed in his mind.

It was just too domineering.

Could the evolutionary beings of human civilization really be so dominant in front of those unique special beings?

"Yeah," Lin Yuan nodded.

He didn't explain too much.

With only a tenth-level body, defeating the Four Divine Kings and other perfected special beings would definitely make the Zerg and the Heavenly Feather Clan extremely restless if the news got out.

Instead of causing trouble, it was better to keep it quiet, which was also the advice given by Xia Qin and the other Celestial Masters.

Until there was enough strength, lying low was the best choice.

It wasn't that human civilization couldn't protect him, but it would save a lot of trouble.

It's not that human civilization couldn't offer protection; it just avoided unnecessary trouble. Human civilization had also risen after enduring long periods of lying low.

"I wonder which evolutionary being of our human civilization 'Blood Rain' is and if I qualify to meet them," Nalan, the deputy tower master, said with a hint of anticipation. He was also an eleventh-level evolutionary being, but he dared not harbor any arrogance in front of 'Blood Rain.'

"Meet 'Blood Rain'?" Lin Yuan glanced at Nalan, but said nothing.

In the two-dimensional world, after a brief seclusion, Lin Yuan actively left the gathering place in Luochuan and began to traverse every corner of the two-dimensional world.

After reaching the fifty stages of the Witch Ancestor, mere seclusion had little effect on strength enhancement.

What Lin Yuan needed to do was to walk through every place in the two-dimensional world, observe the essence of the world from different perspectives, continually break through the limitations of the world, and continue to enhance his own strength.

As time passed, Lin Yuan never appeared again, traversing every stage of the Twelve Ancient Nations, and finally left the territorial boundaries of the Twelve Ancient Nations, exploring the broader desolate areas.

The peaks of mountains.

The depths of the wilderness.

The depths of the sea.

Lin Yuan passed through and left, like an observer independent of the world.

Time flowed like water, and unknowingly, ten thousand years had passed.
