The consciousness of the Red Kun Star Lord was vast. In just an instant, he watched all the challenge videos of Lin Yuan in recent times.
"My disciple..."
The Red Kun Star Lord was uncertain and amazed.
"Has he started the transformation of soul integration?"
Others, including the twelve peak masters, thought that Lin Yuan's rapid progress was due to the guidance of the Red Kun Star Lord. However, the Red Kun Star Lord knew his own affairs and had hardly given any guidance to Lin Yuan.
Upon learning that Lin Yuan had reached the fifth rank, the Red Kun Star Lord abandoned the initial training plan for Lin Yuan. He planned to show Lin Yuan a 'Rule Crystal' first, let him comprehend it, and see the effect.
But now?
While he was waiting for Lin Yuan's feedback on the 'Rule Crystal,' Lin Yuan had already completed the fifth rank, started the transformation of soul integration, and was about to enter the sixth rank.
"At least eighty percent, no, at least ninety percent, maybe ninety-five percent."
Although the Red Kun Star Lord only observed Lin Yuan through the virtual world, with his insight, he could roughly estimate the level Lin Yuan had reached.
Through Lin Yuan's battles with other evolutionists of the same level, he was almost certain that Lin Yuan's soul integration transformation had reached at least ninety-five percent.
"Looks like you're in a good mood lately."
While the Red Kun Star Lord was lost in thought, the man in white robes playing chess across from him glanced at him surprisingly.
Knowing the Red Kun Star Lord well, the man in white robes was sure that he would not miss the chance to mock him after hearing about the defeat of his disciple by Lin Yuan.
"Hahaha."
"My disciple is not someone your disciple can compare to. Crying and complaining to you? Hahaha."
The Red Kun Star Lord burst into laughter as soon as he realized, taking the opportunity to taunt his friend once again.
"You, I thought you've changed."
The man in white robes was somewhat helpless. However, he had also watched the battle videos between his disciple and Lin Yuan. The Red Kun Star Lord's disciple indeed overwhelmed his own disciple, and there was no doubt about that.
"Where did you pick up such an excellent disciple on which life-bearing planet?"
The man in white robes couldn't help but ask.
The Thirteenth Peak Master of the Red Kun lineage claimed that he was discovered by the Red Kun Star Lord during his travels in the universe.
Of course, this claim had low credibility. Nevertheless, since it was said by the Red Kun Star Lord himself, the man in white robes, even if he didn't believe it, had to continue the conversation along this line.
"It's a secret."
The Red Kun Star Lord smiled mysteriously. "When my disciple enters the sixth rank, you'll find out, won't you?"
"You old man, playing mysterious with me."
The man in white robes made a jest and didn't inquire further.
He naturally knew that thousands of years ago, one of the new disciples of the Red Kun Star Lord had died due to identity exposure, falling victim to an assassination by foreign tribes. Because of this incident, the Red Kun Star Lord directly descended to the battlefield of the foreign tribes, engaging in a frenzied massacre for a while before returning to the Red Kun Main Star.
In the virtual world, in the arena area, every time it was approaching Lin Yuan's daily challenge time, countless spectators would arrive in advance, full of anticipation, waiting for the battle to begin.
It's worth noting that Lin Yuan not only had the aura of the Thirteenth Peak Master of the Red Kun lineage, but in the previous dozens or even hundreds of battles, he had displayed nearly overwhelming strength, attracting a large number of fans.
These fans were not limited to the Red Kun Star Domain and its surrounding areas; they came from distant regions of other human civilizations.
So, the identity of the Thirteenth Peak Master didn't have much impact on these fans; they valued Lin Yuan's fighting style and strength more.
In one of the private boxes, Hei Yu Mo, the Seventh-Rank Evolutionist of the Black Prison Family, sat in his seat.
Beside Hei Yu Mo, there were other figures, evidently his friends.
"How about it? The strength of the Thirteenth Peak Master of my Red Kun Star Domain is not bad, right?" Hei Yu Mo said casually.
"Indeed, we've heard that the Red Kun Star Lord is quite adept at teaching disciples. Now, seeing it for ourselves, it's well-deserved reputation," the figure sitting to the right of Hei Yu Mo nodded.
"Have you guys noticed that the strength of this Thirteenth Peak Master improves a bit after each arena battle? He is using other evolutionists of the same level as stepping stones to ascend to the sixth rank," said a figure on the left.
He had carefully watched every battle of the Thirteenth Peak Master.
"If it weren't for this, why would so many people come to watch? The popularity of the arena where the Thirteenth Peak Master is located far exceeds that of the sixth-rank arena," Hei Yu Mo said, pausing for a moment before continuing.
"Throughout the history of our human civilization, those evolutionists who can comprehend breakthroughs through continuous battles are without exception outstanding top talents."
"The potential of the Thirteenth Peak Master is completely immeasurable."
Hei Yu Mo spoke up.
"Indeed."
"But how the future will unfold..."
"Who can know for sure?"
Several figures next to each other glanced at each other.
Potential and strength were entirely different concepts.
They could recognize the potential of the Thirteenth Peak Master, and others, including those hostile foreign tribes, could naturally recognize it too.
"The future."
"Indeed, no one knows what the future holds."
"Even the most top-notch 'divination' masters, predicting the future, can only envision it; it's not unchangeable."
Hei Yu Mo lowered his head to overlook the arena below, lost in thought.
At the Central Continent Manor, outside the main building, Lin Yuan, with his parents and sister, rarely gathered together, having dinner.
Given Lin Yuan's strength, he had long reached the Nascent Opening stage, capable of devouring the energy present in the universe at all times to replenish consumption.
However, the tradition of having dinner was unnecessary to abandon. Eating dinner not only involved consuming food but also communicated and strengthened the bond with family.
"I'm full."
Lin Yi swiftly finished the food in her bowl, stood up with a swoosh, and was about to return to her room.
"Hold on."
Mother Lu Qiong frowned.
"Why are you in such a hurry after finishing your meal? Where do you want to go?"
Lu Qiong asked directly.
"I want to go watch the Thirteenth Peak Master's arena battles."
Lin Yi said confidently.
Although she was only a pre-ranked evolutionist, she had already obtained the access rights to the virtual world, allowing her to enter the arena area and watch the clashes between two evolutionists.
Recently, the hottest topic in the Red Kun Star Domain's arena area was undoubtedly the Thirteenth Peak Master of the Red Kun lineage personally entering the arena to challenge various evolutionists.
"Thirteenth Peak Master, huh?"
Lu Qiong nodded without paying much attention.
She had also heard of the Thirteenth Peak Master, who was the pride of the entire Red Kun Star Domain.
"Brother, I've told you several times, let's go watch the Thirteenth Peak Master's arena battles together. Thirteenth Peak Master is amazing. Learn from him, and you might become stronger."
Lin Yi looked at Lin Yuan and couldn't help but speak.
She was one of the first 'iron fans' who started following the Thirteenth Peak Master, often promoting him among friends. However, when she tried to introduce the Thirteenth Peak Master to her brother, she encountered resistance.
Lin Yi found that her brother seemed uninterested in the Thirteenth Peak Master.
This disappointed her a bit. While Lin Yuan was undoubtedly a genius compared to ordinary people, when compared to the Thirteenth Peak Master, he appeared quite ordinary.
Although Lin Yuan wasn't interested, Lin Yi continued to make an effort.
She would often invite Lin Yuan to watch the Thirteenth Peak Master's arena battles together.
But every time the match approached, Lin Yuan would find various excuses to leave.
It seemed like he was specifically opposing her.
"Meeting a friend, you can go watch."
Lin Yuan casually found an excuse and replied.
"Alright."
Lin Yi was disappointed for a while, but then she became excited.
Because she could watch the Thirteenth Peak Master's arena battles again later.
In the virtual world, in the arena area, Lin Yuan appeared on the battlefield.
Suddenly, terrifying cheers came from all directions.
"Why are there so many people this time?"
Lin Yuan was somewhat surprised. While there were usually many spectators when he sparred with other evolutionists, the current crowd far exceeded the norm.
"Is it because of my opponent this time?"
Lin Yuan speculated about the reason.
"Son of the Holy Family of Wanyang One Line?"
Lin Yuan glanced at the opponent's information.
The Wanyang One Line was the absolute ruler of the Wanyang Star Domain. The power and strength of the Wanyang One Line were slightly superior to the Red Kun One Line.
As for the Son of the Holy Family of Wanyang, his status was not inferior to Lin Yuan's current position.
It was said that this Wanyang Son, with a special physique, received the wholehearted cultivation of the Wanyang Star Lord and possessed incredible profound heritage.
On the arena, spatial changes occurred.
Lin Yuan arrived on a desolate planet.
On the opposite side, another figure appeared, dressed in a long gown, looking ordinary.
"Thirteenth Peak Master of the Red Kun One Line, I didn't expect that I could still have a match with an evolutionist from the Red Kun One Line before stepping into the sixth stage."
The Son of the Holy Family of Wanyang showed a smile, emitting a warm and gentle aura.
The Wanyang One Line was an extreme fire-element lineage, while the Red Kun One Line also leaned towards the fire element but emphasized space aspects more.
The main body, the Star Sea Roaming Kun of the Red Kun Star Lord, was originally a spatial rule life, combining both fire and spatial attributes.
"So am I."
Lin Yuan's expression became serious.
Although they hadn't fought yet, he sensed a hint of pressure from the Son of the Holy Family of Wanyang, which was unprecedented.
"Since that's the case."
"Let's begin."
The Son of the Holy Family of Wanyang restrained his smile.
As soon as he spoke, two terrifying auras collided.
After more than ten minutes.
Lin Yuan's figure was burned into nothingness by the omnipresent 'Wanyang True Fire.'
"He lost? The Thirteenth Peak Master lost?"
"It seems that the Son of Wanyang is stronger."
"Of course, do you guys know the origin of the Son of Wanyang?"
"The Son of Wanyang possesses the rare 'Nine Yang Divine Veins' of our human race. After birth, he was taken away by the Wanyang Star Lord."
"Wanyang Star Lord paid a great price to seal the Son of Wanyang into the 'Wanfire Crystal' and then threw it into the core of a star."
"For the next hundred years, the Son of Wanyang constantly absorbed the terrifying heat energy within the stellar core."
"When the Son of Wanyang broke the seal, he directly reached the strength of the fifth stage."
"The Son of Wanyang doesn't need to cultivate at all. With the terrifying hot energy in his body, he can crush everything."
Countless spectators began to discuss intensely.
The foundation of the Son of Wanyang is something that normal evolutionists cannot possess.
The 'Nine Yang Divine Veins' is already rare. Evolutionists with such a physique can steadily reach the sixth stage at least.
Moreover, nurtured within the stellar core for a hundred years, the unsealed Son of Wanyang, how strong could he be?
"The pure power of the fire element, devastating and terrifying."
Lin Yuan appeared in his personal space, repeatedly recalling the battle just now.
With a wave of his hand, the Son of Wanyang seemed like a star falling to the earth. Even though Lin Yuan practiced both the Taiyin and Taiyang paths, granting him significant resistance to the scorching heat of the fire element, he still couldn't hold on for long under such extreme power.
However, Lin Yuan, although defeated, had no trace of discouragement.
Firstly, he did not use all his means against the Son of Wanyang.
For example, the Yin and Yang Spirits did not come into play.
If Lin Yuan unleashed the Yang Spirit and walked the Yin Spirit path, his strength would have increased several times.
However, doing so might expose the fact that he was practicing the martial path of evolution.
Although the path of evolution within the vast sea of human civilization had numerous methods to condense a 'doppelganger,' most of them were only possible at the sixth or seventh stage.
As for below the sixth stage, condensing a 'doppelganger' was extremely rare.
Moreover, the Yin and Yang Spirits were not physical entities.
Therefore, it's better not to use the Yin and Yang Spirits if not necessary.
Of course, once Lin Yuan advances to the sixth stage, the Yin and Yang Spirits almost solidify, and as long as they don't appear simultaneously, there shouldn't be any major issues.
Secondly, facing a powerful opponent, Lin Yuan couldn't be happier.
At least in this battle, the insights Lin Yuan gained from the Son of Wanyang far surpassed those from previous evolutionists.
"Wanyang Unity."
Lin Yuan muttered to himself in a low voice.
This was the secret technique used by the Son of Wanyang just now. Without this secret technique, Lin Yuan could have persisted for a longer period.
On the outskirts of the human civilization territory.
Several terrifying wills pierced through.
"What should we do?"
"The Thirteenth Disciple recruited by the Red Kun Star Lord has terrifying potential. We absolutely cannot let him continue to grow."
The first will emitted mental fluctuations, showing signs of anxiety.
Initially, when they learned about the Thirteenth Peak Master, they thought he just had slightly better aptitude and might surpass the sixth stage in the future.
But now it seems, it's not just 'slightly better'? If not stopped, there might be another god of war on the battlefield against the alien races.
"What can we do about it?"
"We don't even know the true identity of the Thirteenth Peak Master."
The second will expressed a sense of helplessness in its mental fluctuations.
He also wanted to stop the Thirteenth Peak Master in advance, but Red Kun Star Lord had learned a lesson once and, this time, kept the identity of the Thirteenth Peak Master completely confidential.
"General Panyong, if you have any ideas, you can say it directly. Even if our tribes can't provide direct help, we will certainly offer support."
The third will emitted mental fluctuations, asking the one who spoke first.
"Yes, General Panyong, we can contribute our strength, and we have individuals to offer assistance. We will definitely not stand idly by."
The last will also spoke up.
"Since you say so, I won't beat around the bush," General Panyong said.
Immediately, a screen appeared in the void.
On it were displayed rows of text, showing the names and appearances of ten evolutionists.
"These ten evolutionists are the ones our tribe has deduced, based on various information, to be the most likely identities of the Thirteenth Peak Master," General Panyong said.
The other consciousnesses looked at the screen one after another.
The ten evolutionists on the screen are all members of the Red Kun lineage.
Among them, the last one is unmistakably a three-eyed man.
As for the first nine, they are evolutionists who have performed outstandingly in the past few assessments conducted by the Red Kun Star Lord, mainly focusing on the Red Striped evolutionists.
"General Panyong, just showing us this list isn't very useful."
"Right, most of these evolutionists are hidden on the Red Kun Main Star. How do we act?"
"Even if we recklessly kill one, the others will definitely be alerted, making it even more challenging."
The remaining consciousnesses frowned, expressing some confusion.
"No need for you to take action."
General Panyong's tone remained unchanged.
"One of our experts skilled in cursing is willing to sacrifice a thousand years of lifespan to perform the curse technique."
General Panyong spoke.
The curse technique involves a special application of the rules of cause and effect. Mastering the rules of cause and effect is extremely difficult, let alone deriving related techniques from them. Moreover, the curse technique has significant limitations; it requires the caster to be at least two realms apart, and each use consumes a vast amount of lifespan.
Unless absolutely necessary, no powerful individual would willingly use the curse technique.
Of course, using the curse technique is far more versatile than outright assassination. Regardless of the distance, as long as there is a connected cause and effect, it can be used directly.
"A curse?"
"A good method."
"Directly cursing them, these ten evolutionists won't even have time to react."
"Exactly, the Thirteenth Peak Master is currently only at the fifth stage. Before he advances to the sixth stage, using a seventh-stage curse practitioner should be enough."
"If we wait for him to reach the sixth stage, attempting a curse would require an eighth-stage curse practitioner to pay a huge price, and success isn't guaranteed."
After discussing among themselves for a while, several consciousnesses agreed to General Panyong's plan.
Given the potential displayed by the Thirteenth Peak Master, it's best to eliminate him before reaching the sixth stage.
Once at the sixth stage, with numerous life-saving methods available, even if an eighth-stage curse practitioner is willing to sacrifice thousands of years of lifespan, it might not guarantee success.
"I need your contributions."
General Panyong immediately began negotiating transactions with the other consciousnesses.
Half a day later.
In this starry sky, subtle spatial fluctuations ripple.
A humanoid creature covered in scales emerges.
"This is the 'Medium.'"
General Panyong's thoughts move, and ten items appear.
These ten items come from the ten evolutionists on the list. General Panyong dispatched people to collect them from the planets where these evolutionists lived.
Having had contact with these ten evolutionists, there are remnants of their auras.
Although the art of curse killing is mysterious and unpredictable, it requires the use of a 'Medium.'
From cause to effect.
From effect to cause.
"Panyong, remember your promise."
The humanoid creature covered in scales stares at General Panyong for a moment, then swallows the ten 'Mediums' in one gulp.
Buzz!
Invisible ripples spread out.
The humanoid creature covered in scales seems to be affected by some kind of backlash and starts to collapse.
"Alright."
General Panyong nods slightly.
"Don't worry, after you die, your tribe will be treated well."
General Panyong looks at the gradually collapsing humanoid figure and speaks.
For the humanoid creature covered in scales, the remaining thousand years of lifespan are far from enough to make further progress.
"Now."
"Let's wait."
General Panyong looks at the other wills.
Exchanging the remaining thousand years of lifespan from a rare seventh-tier curse-killing expert for the lives of ten fourth and fifth-tier individuals is undoubtedly a significant loss.
However, as long as one of these ten individuals is the Thirteenth Peak Master, it's a profit, not just a profit but a huge one.
Red Kun Main Star.
The three-eyed man finishes his cultivation.
"Hmph."
"Fool."
The three-eyed man glances down.
Seeing Fang Qing hastily leaving, it's evident that he has something to do.
The three-eyed man finds Fang Qing very displeasing, not just because Fang Qing was only a Silver Stripe initially but also because Fang Qing expended a lot of favors within the sect for his friend 'Lin Yuan.'
Hence, Fang Qing has a good image in the Red Kun lineage.
"True strong individuals are solitary; they don't need friends. If you need friends, it only shows your inadequacy."
The three-eyed man's gaze is firm.
"I..."
The three-eyed man breathes out lightly, about to get up.
Just at this moment, an invisible fluctuation descends.
"Don't!!!"
The three-eyed man widens his eyes, the bloodline on his forehead opening.
But it's meaningless; with the spread of the fluctuation, the three-eyed man's soul rapidly extinguishes.
At the same time, on the Red Kun Main Star, the other nine evolutionists inexplicably die.
In the virtual world, in a personal space, Fang Qing sits in front of Lin Yuan, his face full of anger.
"Despicable outsiders, actually using the curse-killing technique." Fang Qing mentions the mysterious deaths of the three-eyed man and the other nine evolutionists.
This matter is not a secret on the Red Kun Main Star. It gradually subsided only after the Thirteenth Peak Master's judgment and determination that the curse-killing technique came from outsiders.
"Curse-killing technique?"
Lin Yuan's mind stirs. As the Thirteenth Peak Master, he naturally knows about this mysterious and unpredictable method.
The curse-killing technique is a special application of the rules of cause and effect, even more profound than soul attacks.
Of course, the use of the curse-killing technique comes with significant costs. It is effective only if spanning two major realms, and each use requires the consumption of a hundred years of lifespan.
"Outsiders using the curse-killing technique, what are they up to?"
Lin Yuan has a speculation in mind but still asks.
"Others say that the outsiders saw the Thirteenth Peak Master's performance in the arena, and this time, they cursed these ten evolutionists, looking for the Thirteenth Peak Master."
Fang Qing lowers his voice.
"I see."
Lin Yuan nods.
At this moment, he is somewhat relieved that he did not expose his identity.
If, previously, due to the suppression from Black Prison Claws, Lin Yuan couldn't help but reveal his identity, even if he safely hid back on the Red Kun Main Star, the exposure of the identity of 'Lin Yuan' would allow the outsiders to locate him.
Lin Yuan has lived on the Canglan Star for so many years, and he cannot guarantee that he hasn't left behind any 'medium.'
If the 'medium' is found by the outsiders, Lin Yuan is unsure if he can survive the curse-killing technique. Although, as a disciple of the Red Kun Star Lord, he might have means to block the fatal technique of causality, there's a chance it might not work.
"Keep a low profile. Still, need to stay low-key."
Lin Yuan silently thinks.
Fortunately, he restrained himself from exposing his identity when facing the suppression from Black Prison Claws.
"That three-eyed man."
Lin Yuan feels that this three-eyed man probably took the calamity for him.
In the Seven Stars Cave World, there are three Red Stripes, over a hundred Gold Stripes, and over a million Silver Stripes. Among them, the three-eyed man is most likely the one who resembles the Thirteenth Peak Master the most.
After all, the other two Red Stripes have too distinctive features. The silver-haired woman, Silver Spirit, excels in spatial attacks, and the three-meter-tall bruiser specializes in strength attacks. They don't resemble the Thirteenth Peak Master much.
As for the Gold Stripes and Silver Stripes below, there are too many; it's impossible to determine.
Only the three-eyed man among the Red Stripes.
"I wonder if the Thirteenth Peak Master is in trouble."
Fang Qing's tone suddenly becomes low. Since the outsiders dared to use the curse-killing technique, they must have a certain degree of assurance. Killing from an infinite distance using the curse-killing technique requires paying a huge price.
"We'll know tomorrow."
Lin Yuan consoles.
"True."
Fang Qing is slightly surprised.
The Thirteenth Peak Master challenges various evolutionists in the arena every morning and afternoon. If the Thirteenth Peak Master is unharmed, he will surely appear tomorrow.
"Hope everything is fine."
Fang Qing whispers.
If the Thirteenth Peak Master were to meet the same fate as a thousand years ago, dying at the hands of the outsiders, the Red Kun Star Lord might resort to some crazy actions.
The next day.
In the virtual world.
In the arena area.
Inside a private box.
Several figures gather here.
"Whether the Thirteenth Peak Master has been cursed or not will be clear now."
These figures are naturally transformed from the outsiders. The virtual world network cannot completely isolate the outsiders. Some adept at disguise can perfectly mimic the aura of humans and, with the correct identity, smoothly enter the virtual world.
"As long as the Thirteenth Peak Master doesn't appear today, there is a high probability that he has been cursed."
Several figures look at each other, eagerly watching the arena below.
For this attempt to curse the Thirteenth Peak Master, they have paid a much higher price than the attempt to assassinate the Red Kun Star Lord a thousand years ago.
Assassinating that disciple only required the sacrifice of some sixth-order experts.
However, this time, they directly sacrificed a seven-order pinnacle expert skilled in the curse-killing technique, paying a millennium of lifespan.
It's crucial to note that a seven-order pinnacle expert skilled in the curse-killing technique is even rarer than an eighth-order expert.
If it weren't for this expert voluntarily offering to sacrifice, they wouldn't be able to command such a sacrifice from someone of this caliber.
"Thirteenth Peak Master."
"You must die."
"If you don't die, wouldn't our sacrifices be in vain?"
Several members of the outsider faction quickly think, staring intently at the arena below.
Soon.
A figure appears on the arena.
That is the opponent of the Thirteenth Peak Master.
"To this point, he should've..."
Several members of the outsider faction show signs of joy in their hearts.
However, the next moment.
The figure of the Thirteenth Peak Master appears on the other side of the arena.
Silence.
The private box falls into silence.
Several members of the outsider faction have unpleasant expressions, staring fixedly at the figure of the Thirteenth Peak Master below.
"Did the curse-killing fail?"
"Is the Thirteenth Peak Master still alive?"
"It's over."
Several members of the outsider faction take a deep breath, bitterness appearing on their faces.
"Let's go."
"No need to watch anymore."
"Let's go back and report."
Several members of the outsider faction disconnect from the virtual world.
When they saw the figure of the Thirteenth Peak Master, they realized that they couldn't stop the rise of the Thirteenth Peak Master.
With what can they stop him?
Try cursing again?
Not to mention whether they can find another willing seven-order pinnacle expert to cooperate.
Even if they find one, what then?
How to choose the target?
The ten evolutionists they had selected earlier were considered the most likely targets for the Thirteenth Peak Master.
Now that they have failed, they need to choose from a much larger pool of evolutionists.
The possibility of another failed curse-killing attempt is far higher than the first.
Virtual world.
Personal space.
Lin Yuan closed his eyes.
Through challenging evolutionists taking different paths of evolution,
Lin Yuan's proficiency in the martial path of evolution continuously improved.
"Someone wants to visit me?"
Lin Yuan glanced at the visiting list.
Since being suppressed by Hei Yu Zhan,
Few people have specifically come to visit him.
Even though Fang Qing appeared and resolved the situation where Cang Lan Star's trade was cut off.
But Lin Yuan, as a person, was still included in many "blacklists."
Too arrogant, too good at causing trouble.
Offending Hei Yu Zhan today, who knows who he will offend tomorrow.
"Mr. Lin, I am Director Shi Cai from the Huiyin Group."
A man with a hooked nose said with a smile.
"Hello."
Lin Yuan nodded.
"We hope that Mr. Lin can take the lead and help us contact Lord Fang Qing."
The man with the hooked nose stated his purpose.
"Mr. Lin, rest assured, our Huiyin Group will surely express our gratitude afterward."
The man with the hooked nose promised.
"No need."
"I can't promise this matter."
Lin Yuan shook his head and declined.
These people want to get to know Fang Qing through him?
"If that's the case."
"Then excuse us."
The man with the hooked nose maintained a smile.
He directly exited Lin Yuan's personal space.
When he returned to reality, a hint of gloom appeared on the man with the hooked nose's face.
"Don't even consider your current situation?"
"Still so arrogant."
The man with the hooked nose sneered.
In his view, Lin Yuan is currently living so comfortably only because of Lord Fang Qing.
Not taking advantage of Lord Fang Qing's current emphasis on friendship to make more connections with other forces is a complete waste of resources.
"Just wait."
"I'll see what your fate will be in the future."
The man with the hooked nose sat in his seat, thinking, can Lord Fang Qing protect you for a lifetime?
In the future, when you lose the protection of Lord Fang Qing, how will you face the Black Prison Family?
Central Mainland Manor.
Training ground in the main building basement.
Lin Yuan sat cross-legged.
In front of him, a crimson "stone" was placed.
Under his extraordinary comprehension, watching the inspiration emanating from the crimson "stone," combined with the gains from sparring with many evolutionists, he rapidly perfected the martial path of evolution and improved the efficiency of soul fusion and transformation.
Until reaching a certain critical point.
He didn't know how long passed.
One hour.
Ten hours.
Or a day.
Lin Yuan quietly opened his eyes.
"I"
Lin Yuan only felt that his whole body, more precisely, from the depths of his soul, exuded a sense of 'fulfillment.'
"Soul fusion."
Lin Yuan immediately began to sense the degree of his own soul fusion and transformation.
After a moment.
A smile appeared on Lin Yuan's face.
Because in this world, the degree of his soul fusion and transformation has unexpectedly reached —
One hundred percent.
End of the two updates with eight thousand words.
Tomorrow, stepping into the Sixth Order.
"Is the soul fusion already at one hundred percent?" Lin Yuan's mind was joyful.
As early as when that sense of 'fulfillment' emerged from the depths of his soul, Lin Yuan had speculations in this regard.
Now, with confirmation, his mood was naturally good.
"My current strength."
Lin Yuan closed his eyes slightly, carefully sensing himself.
Compared to not reaching one hundred percent soul fusion, Lin Yuan hardly underwent any changes.
His physique, strength, speed, and everything else had almost no difference.
But Lin Yuan had a feeling of absolute control.
For instance, with the same strand of strength, before reaching one hundred percent soul fusion and transformation, Lin Yuan could only use it to destroy a city.
But now, Lin Yuan could use it to destroy ten or a hundred cities.
"No wonder people say, as long as the soul fusion reaches one hundred percent, stepping into the Sixth Order is as simple as eating and drinking, with no risk at all." Lin Yuan looked enlightened.
Previously, he was somewhat puzzled about it. Even when breaking through from one stage to another, there should be some risks, right? How come reaching the Sixth Order from the Fifth Order has no risks?
It turned out that when the soul completely fused with its fundamental evolution path, the evolutionist, in terms of realm, had already entered the Sixth Order. With a foundation in the Sixth Order realm, stepping into the Sixth Order naturally became easy, and the control power of a Sixth Order evolutionist made the breakthrough exceptionally simple.
"There's also... martial arts." Lin Yuan's gaze became slightly fervent.
Using martial arts as his fundamental evolution path, Lin Yuan, at this moment, was like a fusion of himself with martial arts.
"I am martial arts." Lin Yuan connected to the virtual world with his consciousness.
Entering a dedicated training ground, the surrounding space automatically simulated, forming an environment like a small asteroid.
Standing above the asteroid, Lin Yuan lowered his head, raised his right hand, and threw a punch towards the asteroid below.
Rumble.
A terrifying pressure erupted.
Only at the location where Lin Yuan punched on the surface of the asteroid, there appeared a punch mark several tens of kilometers in size.
The power of this punch mark penetrated more than half of the asteroid. The remaining force caused earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanic eruptions on the surface, ultimately causing the asteroid to disintegrate into countless meteorite fragments flying in all directions.
"Am I now infinitely close to a Sixth Order evolutionist? Maybe even considered a weakened version of the Sixth Order?" Lin Yuan breathed out lightly, his spirits high.
Although the size of the asteroid was not comparable to a normal life-bearing planet, the effect caused by Lin Yuan's full-force punch was tremendous.
"Indeed, there is hardly any difference from a Sixth Order Falling Star."
"At least, I've almost reached the Sixth Order threshold, barely belonging to the same level."
"Logically, even if the soul fusion reaches one hundred percent, depending on the different evolution paths, there may be differences in the enhancement of the evolutionist's strength."
"Someone like me, directly causing a surge in strength to the level of the Sixth Order threshold, is also extremely rare, or perhaps incredibly unique?"
Lin Yuan disconnected from the virtual world, returned to reality, and thought to himself.
After all, Lin Yuan is not yet at the Sixth Order. When the breakthrough happens, the body and soul will undergo a substantial transformation, and the strength will increase significantly, possibly reaching a stronger level within the Sixth Order.
"Martial arts evolution path."
Lin Yuan's mind settled slightly. At this moment, his soul was perfectly aligned with the martial arts evolution path, and with every movement, the true essence of this evolution path manifested.
It was precisely due to this state of integration with the martial arts evolution path that Lin Yuan could disintegrate a small asteroid with a single punch, unleashing a maximum power that far exceeded a Fifth Order evolutionist.
"The Red Spirit Fluid will arrive in a few days, and when it does, I can step into the Sixth Order."
Lin Yuan thought.
Breaking through from the Fifth Order to the Sixth Order requires a significant transformation of both the body and soul, and naturally, it requires a large amount of pure energy.
Although the universe is filled with infinite energy, that energy is chaotic and has a low concentration. How long would it take to absorb the cosmic energy slowly to break through to the Sixth Order?
The Red Spirit Fluid, as an exclusive resource of the Red Kun lineage, is the most suitable for accumulating energy for self-use, making it perfect for breaking through to the Sixth Order.
"When I reach the Sixth Order, revealing my identity should make many forces not dare to believe, right?"
Lin Yuan didn't need to think to know that his true identity, when revealed, would cause a great stir in the Red Kun Star Domain and might even spread to other star domains.
A Sixth Order evolutionist under a hundred years old, unlike the Son of the Eternal Sun, who enjoyed the full support of the Eternal Sun Lord shortly after birth.
Lin Yuan's breakthrough to the Sixth Order was entirely based on his own aptitude and talent.
A few years ago, he was still a Fourth Order evolutionist participating in the Seven-Star Cave trial.
From the Fourth Order to the Sixth Order, it took only a few years?
Looking at the vast human civilization, there weren't many geniuses born in the last hundred thousand years who could achieve such a cultivation speed.
"A Sixth Order evolutionist undergoes a fundamental transformation of life essence. Spending some time, they can integrate their life imprint into the cosmic space. Thus, even if they fall in the future, they can rely on this life imprint to be 'resurrected' by the strongest of the human race."
Why, when reaching the Sixth Order, can one reveal their identity without fear of assassination by alien races?
As long as the alien race is willing to pay a sufficient price, not to mention the Sixth Order, even the Seventh Order may not be able to resist.
The reason is that reaching the Sixth Order already qualifies for 'resurrection'.
Below the Sixth Order, the essence of life is too weak to leave an imprint. If you die, you really die.
Alien races are unwilling to assassinate evolutionists below the Sixth Order because even if they pay a huge price to assassinate a genius evolutionist, there is a possibility of being 'resurrected' afterward.
"This is clearly a loss-making deal."
"Of course, even for human civilization, 'resurrecting' an evolutionist comes with significant pressure."
Many Sixth and Seventh Order evolutionists, even if they could be 'resurrected,' might choose not to be.
"A few days before the Red Spirit Fluid arrives, I can finish the remaining challenge applications."
Lin Yuan glanced at the many evolutionists he had applied to fight in the arena.
Anyway, there's nothing else to do now, and battling these genius evolutionists from the human domain is also a kind of gain.
Especially the Son of the Eternal Sun, after losing to him once, Lin Yuan applied for another match a few days later, and the opponent agreed.
The next day.
At the same time as before.
The area around the arena where Lin Yuan was about to appear gathered a large number of spectators.
"Why is the Thirteenth Peak Master sparring with the Son of the Eternal Sun again?"
"Weren't they just fighting recently? There's a big gap in strength between the two."
"Right, does the Thirteenth Peak Master enjoy being defeated?"
Around the arena, countless spectators were discussing.
Although they liked watching the Thirteenth Peak Master's arena battles, it was to see him crush and dominate opponents, not to be crushed and dominated.
Especially some spectators from the Red Kun Star Domain were somewhat reluctant to continue watching.
Witnessing their 'idol' being burned into nothingness by the Son of the Eternal Sun was a kind of torture.
"Hahaha, Son, keep it up, continue to crush your opponent."
"Just a defeated subordinate, not a match for our Son."
"People from the Red Kun Star Domain, you will see next, the strength of our Son, crushing everything."
Compared to the subdued atmosphere among the spectators from the Red Kun Star Domain, the audience from the Eternal Sun Star Domain was extremely excited.
In any case, the Thirteenth Peak Master's status and position in the Red Kun Star Domain were quite high. Even if he lost to the Son of the Eternal Sun once, if he could lose again, it would still be a gratifying thing.
"What are you proud of?"
"People from the Eternal Sun Star Domain have no manners."
"The Son of the Eternal Sun is strong, but the Thirteenth Peak Master is not weak. Is it necessary to say such things?"
Although the spectators from the Red Kun Star Domain felt aggrieved, they didn't know how to respond. The strength was the foundation of everything, and the battle between the Thirteenth Peak Master and the Son of the Eternal Sun was indeed not in the former's favor.
This fact hadn't changed, and they didn't know how to refute those spectators from the Eternal Sun Star Domain. It was like being treated as inferior.
On the east side of the arena.
Lin Yi and a few good friends sat together, waiting for the match to begin.
"Big brother stood me up again."
Lin Yi looked around and found that Lin Yuan hadn't arrived yet. Her face suddenly turned gloomy.
"Yi Yi, I heard that your big brother is also an evolutionary genius and has won the championship in the arena competition on your planet?" A girl with twin ponytails sitting beside Lin Yi asked curiously.
She comes from another planet and met Lin Yi in the virtual world.
"Yeah."
Lin Yi, upon hearing this, had a smug expression on her face.
She looked down at the arena, thinking about the Thirteenth Peak Master who was about to appear, and shook her head, saying, "But compared to the Thirteenth Peak Master, my brother is far behind."
Not only far behind but also unwilling to come and watch Lin Yi's performance, thinking that Lin Yuan was just hanging out with some friends.
"There aren't many evolutionists who can compare with the Thirteenth Peak Master."
Another girl next to them spoke, showing obvious admiration for the Thirteenth Peak Master.
Arena.
This time, the simulated environment was a desolate planet, several times larger than the Canglan Star, sufficient for two Fifth-Order ultimate evolutionists to battle.
Whoosh.
Lin Yuan's figure appeared on a mountain top.
Not long after, on another distant mountain top, the Son of the Eternal Sun appeared.
The Son of the Eternal Sun had a calm expression, radiating a warm and gentle aura.
"Thirteenth Peak Master."
The Son of the Eternal Sun looked towards Lin Yuan in the distance, inevitably feeling puzzled.
Not long ago, this Thirteenth Peak Master had just fought with him. He should be aware of the considerable gap in strength between them. Why was he intending to challenge him again?
It's known that the stronger one is, the more they care about face. Losing to the Son of the Eternal Sun once was not enough; he wanted to lose a second time?
"This Thirteenth Peak Master seems to get stronger after each battle. Could it be that he sees me as a whetstone?"
A smile appeared on the Son of the Eternal Sun's face.
A whetstone? That usually happens when the strengths are similar or comparable. What kind of honing effect can I achieve by going all out and ending the battle in the shortest time possible?
A few minutes later.
The match began.
Lin Yuan and the Son of the Eternal Sun stared at each other.
"Thirteenth Peak Master, be careful this time."
The Son of the Eternal Sun's mind slightly moved, and a hot aura began to permeate.
"You too."
Lin Yuan smiled slightly.
His figure disappeared from the original location.
"Huh?"
The Son of the Eternal Sun was surprised.
He didn't even notice when Lin Yuan disappeared completely?
"How did the speed become so fast?"
The Son of the Eternal Sun's face changed slightly.
At this moment, the Son of the Eternal Sun could only vaguely sense that Lin Yuan still existed on the arena, but he couldn't lock onto his exact position.
"Relying solely on speed won't be enough to defeat me."
The Son of the Eternal Sun snorted coldly and instantly released his 'Eternal Sun Domain.'
In an instant.
With the Son of the Eternal Sun at the center.
An area of several miles, dozens of miles, and even hundreds of miles in radius, was completely filled with terrifying heat.
"Eternal Sun. Unity!"
The Son of the Eternal Sun seemed to transform into a 'star,' continuously condensing mini-stars in the domain, releasing infinite heat, and then exploding.
Since he couldn't locate Lin Yuan's position, he decided to directly destroy the entire area.
In any case, Lin Yuan must be within this area.
Hum.
Just then.
A figure appeared a kilometer away from the Son of the Eternal Sun.
It was Lin Yuan.
Facing the scorching heat around him.
Lin Yuan showed no signs of retreat. He extended his right hand and slapped towards the Son of the Eternal Sun.
Boom.
A terrifying force enveloped the surroundings.
It came into contact with the Eternal Sun Domain and the secret technique 'Eternal Sun Unity.'
But what astonished the Son of the Eternal Sun was that the force unleashed by Lin Yuan's slap instantly pierced through the Eternal Sun Domain.
"Not good."
The Son of the Eternal Sun's expression changed drastically, and his figure began to retreat.
However, Lin Yuan took another step and appeared a hundred meters away from the Son of the Eternal Sun, continuing to slap.
Boom, rumble.
The air was torn apart. Lin Yuan's attack was too fierce. Although it was just a simple slap, it subtly covered the surroundings, encompassing every position. The Son of the Eternal Sun couldn't even dodge.
Hiss.
The Son of the Eternal Sun could only grit his teeth and forcibly withstand Lin Yuan's slap.
The next moment.
The Son of the Eternal Sun's figure exploded.
Whoosh!
Countless scorching flames gathered.
Several miles away, the figure of the Son of the Eternal Sun condensed again.
"My Eternal Sun Unyielding Body."
The Son of the Eternal Sun looked incredulous. The combination of the Nine Yang Divine Veins, the Eternal Sun True Crystal, and the infinite power from the depths of the stars allowed the Son of the Eternal Sun to cultivate the Eternal Sun Unyielding Body.
The Eternal Sun Unyielding Body allowed the flesh to momentarily energize, similar to the 'Thunder God's' incarnation of thunder. However, the Eternal Sun Unyielding Body was more profound and advanced.
Possessing the effect of a substitute death.
If it weren't for the Eternal Sun Unyielding Body, the Son of the Eternal Sun would have died directly from Lin Yuan's slap just now, unable to survive.
"I concede."
The Son of the Eternal Sun immediately applied for surrender without hesitation. Although he hadn't died yet, the Eternal Sun Unyielding Body could still act as a substitute for death several times.
However, witnessing the terrifying strength displayed by Lin Yuan, the Son of the Eternal Sun didn't want to continue wasting time.
Even if he dragged it out with the Eternal Sun Unyielding Body, what would be the result? It would only be continuing to endure a few more slaps, with no face or dignity left.
"You should be able to step into the Sixth Stage at any time."
"Until we meet again in the Sixth Stage."
The Son of the Eternal Sun looked deeply at Lin Yuan and disappeared.
The difference in strength between Lin Yuan and the Son of the Eternal Sun was too significant, and the only possibility was that Lin Yuan's soul had fully transformed.
"I won just like that?"
Lin Yuan also felt that he had won too easily. Taking the path of martial arts evolution as the fundamental route, achieving a 100% conversion in soul integration had greatly enhanced his strength.
"What's going on?"
Lin Yuan looked around.
He found that everything had quieted down.
On the viewing platform of the arena, countless spectators, whether from the Red Kun Star Territory, the Eternal Sun Star Territory, or other 'neutral' spectators from different star territories, were all stunned and had their mouths wide open at this moment.
Just a few breaths passed.
Around the arena, countless spectators gradually reacted, erupting into deafening cheers.
This cheering was like a tsunami, especially among the spectators from the Red Kun Star Territory, nearly causing a riot.
"What just happened?"
"The Son of the Eternal Sun voluntarily conceded to the Thirteenth Peak Lord with just two slaps?"
"That's the Son of the Eternal Sun! What happened? Did they arrange this in advance?"
"Forget about arranging. Didn't you see the two slaps the Thirteenth Peak Lord delivered, directly shattering the Son of the Eternal Sun's body? Although we don't know what method the Son of the Eternal Sun used to survive, it's clear that he is no match for the Thirteenth Peak Lord."
"What happened? Wasn't the Thirteenth Peak Lord unable to defeat the Son of the Eternal Sun before? How come now, in just a few days, there's a reversal in strength?"
"It's terrifying! The Thirteenth Peak Lord must be formidable, reaching at least the Sixth Stage threshold."
"Just now, those people from the Eternal Sun Star Territory were shouting about their defeated subordinate. What are they going to say now?"
Countless discussions erupted.
If it were just the defeat of the Son of the Eternal Sun, it wouldn't have caused such a huge reaction. There were countless geniuses in human civilization, and while the Son of the Eternal Sun was undoubtedly at the top, he was far from invincible.
However, it was the Thirteenth Peak Lord who defeated the Son of the Eternal Sun shortly after losing to the Son in a previous match.
Such a stark contrast, coupled with the ease with which the Thirteenth Peak Lord defeated the Son of the Eternal Sun, ignited the emotions of countless spectators.
"Wow, the Thirteenth Peak Lord is amazing."
Lin Yi also stood up excitedly.
"So terrifying! That's the Son of the Eternal Sun, and he was crushed directly." Lin Yi's friends beside her expressed amazement.
"Of course."
Lin Yi suddenly thought of her brother again.
"If my brother could learn from the Thirteenth Peak Lord, that would be great."
Lin Yi sighed. It wasn't that she despised Lin Yuan, but rather, after so long, Lin Yuan hadn't accompanied her to watch the Thirteenth Peak Lord's matches, showing no interest in such powerful figures.
In the private box.
"Our junior apprentice brother..."
The twelve Peak Lords of the Red Kun lineage looked at each other.
Initially, they were puzzled about why their junior apprentice brother wanted to challenge the Son of the Eternal Sun. However, now, everyone understood.
"He's too abnormal."
This thought spontaneously appeared in the hearts of all the Peak Lords.
They knew part of their junior apprentice brother's true identity. Until now, he hadn't even reached a hundred years old.
But now, the strength displayed by their junior apprentice brother clearly indicated that his soul integration had reached perfection.
In other words, their junior apprentice brother could step into the Sixth Stage at any time.
Such a cultivation speed made the nine senior apprentices, who were still in the Sixth Stage, feel a bit embarrassed.
"We originally thought it would take decades, but unexpectedly, he can go back so soon." The thoughts in the hearts of the Peak Lords were becoming stranger, especially the eldest senior apprentice brother.
In order to befriend their junior apprentice brother, he had specifically sent out a clone to guard the Canglan Star, preventing the Black Prison Pincer Dog from jumping over the wall.
This clone, the eldest senior apprentice brother planned to stay until the junior apprentice brother stepped into the Sixth Stage. The eldest senior apprentice brother estimated that it would take at least several decades.
However, now it seemed that it might only take about a month.
"This is the top genius of our Human Alliance."
In another part of the stands, Zong Bai, Lu Xi Guang, and Cao Rong were in awe.
The most genius evolutionist they had seen was Lin Yuan.
During the team competition of the arena match, they were still on the same team as Lin Yuan.
In the end, Lin Yuan lived up to expectations and successfully won the championship.
However, compared to the Thirteenth Peak Lord on the arena, Lin Yuan was not in the same league.
"One of the future dominators of the Red Kun Star Territory." The Black Prison Pincer Dog was also watching. The current performance of the Thirteenth Peak Lord made him unable to look up. Perhaps in the future, when he ascended to the throne of the patriarch of the Black Prison Family, he would have the opportunity to meet this Thirteenth Peak Lord.
"Red Kun, you old guy, you really picked up a treasure."
In the crimson palace, a man in a white robe watched the arena competition. When he saw Lin Yuan shattering the Son of the Eternal Sun with two slaps, he was somewhat astonished.
"So quickly achieving complete soul integration, and after achieving perfect integration, gaining such a boost in strength. What kind of evolutionary path did you guide him through?"
The man in the white robe was well-versed and understood that achieving complete soul integration alone, leading to such a rapid increase in strength, indicated a perfect alignment of Lin Yuan with his fundamental evolutionary path, and that this evolutionary path had immense potential.
"You'll know when the time comes."
The Red Kun Star Lord's smile didn't change. In reality, he was also extremely curious. Lin Yuan's two slaps just now seemed to follow a different path than the Mystic Yellow Evolutionary Path. Could it be that he was also practicing other evolutionary paths?
"Red Kun, tell me the truth. How old is this disciple you've taken in? Is he over a hundred years old?."
The man in the white robe knew that the Red Kun Star Lord couldn't reveal the true identity of the Thirteenth Peak Lord, so he didn't ask about that. Instead, he inquired about the age.
Judging by age, one could roughly determine the talent of an evolutionist.
If the true age of the Thirteenth Peak Lord was already four or five hundred years, or even six hundred, then he would just be a normal talent.
If he was not yet a hundred years old.
Then...
It could only mean that the Red Kun Star Lord had truly acquired an unparalleled genius.
"Not yet a hundred."
The Red Kun Star Lord hesitated for a moment before speaking.
Not yet a hundred?
If Lin Yuan's information was correct.
He might not even be thirty?
The Red Kun Star Lord himself found it somewhat unbelievable. He had presided over the Red Kun Star Territory for nearly two hundred thousand years and had opened the Seven-Star Cave many times.
But a talented evolutionist like Lin Yuan was a first for him.
In the past, the Red Kun Star Lord had only heard rumors about such genius evolutionists. Never did he expect that this time, he would actually have one as his disciple.
"Really not yet a hundred years old?" The man in the white robe took a deep breath. "My disciple didn't lose unjustly."
The man in the white robe thought about his junior apprentice brother, who was humiliated by Lin Yuan not long ago.
"He's truly a monster," the man in the white robe couldn't help but say.
"No need to say that. After entering the Sixth Stage, there are more challenges waiting for him. In the early stages, our human civilization progressed smoothly, revealing terrifying talents. However, many evolutionists stalled at the Sixth or Seventh Stage, unable to advance further," Red Kun Star Lord said, shaking his head. "Don't have too high expectations for Little Thirteen; the higher you stand, the harder you fall."
"Are you still pretending at this point?" The man in the white robe rolled his eyes. The words were true, but it felt unpleasant to him.
"How about I trade you a hundred disciples for this one of yours?" the man in the white robe suggested.
"No trade," Red Kun Star Lord said without hesitation. "It's your move."
Several days later.
Central Continent Manor.
After finishing the last match, Lin Yuan came outside the manor.
"Mr. Lin, these are your items." A man in a black uniform stood outside the manor, and behind him was a several-meter-high box.
Ding—
With the identity authorization, Lin Yuan instructed the steward robot to carry the box to the underground training ground in the main building.
Passing by the lawn, Lin Yuan saw his parents chatting with his sister Lin Yi.
"Mom, Dad, you don't know how amazing the Thirteenth Peak Lord is. With just two slaps, he crushed the Son of the Eternal Sun. Do you know who the Son of the Eternal Sun is? He is undoubtedly the number one figure under the Sixth Stage in the entire Eternal Sun Star Region."
Lin Yi was excitedly sharing the glorious achievements of the Thirteenth Peak Lord with her parents.
"Amazing."
"Thirteenth Peak Lord is really amazing."
His parents nodded continuously. Even without Lin Yi's explanation, they had recently entered the virtual world, and this was the most talked-about topic.
"I wonder when our Canglan Star will produce someone like Thirteenth Peak Lord."
Mother Lu Qiong sighed.
"Mom, what are you thinking? That's the Thirteenth Peak Lord. In the Red Kun Star Region with over a million life planets, there's only one like him. It's already fortunate for Canglan Star to have my brother. Producing a Thirteenth Peak Lord? Absolutely impossible."
Lin Yi shook her head, explaining to Lu Qiong.
Although Lu Qiong was also an evolutionist, she didn't know much about the circle of evolutionists, only aware of how formidable the Thirteenth Peak Lord was.
But how formidable exactly, she had no idea. Therefore, she fantasized about whether Canglan Star could produce an evolutionist like the Thirteenth Peak Lord.
Lin Yi couldn't help but smile in her heart.
With Canglan Star being such a shallow pond, they wanted to produce a true dragon like the Thirteenth Peak Lord?
The main building's underground training ground.
Lin Yuan sat cross-legged, looking at the box in front of him.
Inside the box was the 'Red Spirit Liquid' that Lin Yuan had applied for.
To ensure a smooth breakthrough to the Sixth Stage, Lin Yuan had applied for a 'large basin' of Red Spirit Liquid this time.
"It's time to break through."
Lin Yuan steadied himself and made a decision.
Internally, the soul integration transformation had reached one hundred percent.
Externally, the 'large basin' of Red Spirit Liquid met all the requirements for consumption during the breakthrough.
"Hou Ming."
Lin Yuan thought for a moment, then called the captain of the guard, Hou Ming.
"For the next period, as long as I haven't come out, no matter what happens, don't let anyone approach."
Lin Yuan instructed.
"Yes."
Captain Hou Ming respectfully replied.
Lin Yuan returned to the underground training ground.
"Let's begin."
Lin Yuan looked at the 'large basin' of Red Spirit Liquid in front of him and took a gentle breath.
Numerous Red Spirit Liquid evaporated into thin air, merging into Lin Yuan's body.
With the influx of massive and pure energy, Lin Yuan began to release control over his physical and spiritual soul.
Splash, splash.
The Red Spirit Liquid visibly decreased in quantity.
Meanwhile, Lin Yuan's physical and spiritual soul rapidly expanded.
Why are Sixth Stage evolutionists called Falling Star level? It's because their physical and spiritual souls reach an unimaginable stage. With every breath, they inhale and exhale cosmic energy, neutralizing various stellar radiations without relying on the internal environment of a planet.
For Sixth Stage evolutionists, mid-to-low-tier life planets already pose restrictions on them, like trapping a shark in a small pond.
The battlefield for Sixth Stage evolutionists is in the stars.
Humming.
As Lin Yuan's physical and spiritual soul continued to transform and ascend, it gradually began to affect the surroundings, forming the unique life magnetic field of a Sixth Stage evolutionist.
Of course, this influence couldn't be perceived by ordinary evolutionists, not even by those at the Fourth or Fifth Stage.
Only—
"Hmm?"
"Did Junior Apprentice Brother start the breakthrough?"
A bald man was strolling leisurely, seeming to sense something, and his gaze instantly turned towards the direction of the Central Continent.
"I'll guard Junior Apprentice Brother."
The bald man disappeared and instantly appeared on the outskirts of the Central Continent.
"Although the possibility is slim, at this time, if a group of Seventh Stage aliens comes to kill, I can completely hold them off. I'll buy time for Junior Apprentice Brother's breakthrough."
"If Eighth Stage aliens come, I also have enough time to escape with Junior Apprentice Brother."
The bald man thought to himself.
In theory, the aliens should not know Lin Yuan's true identity yet; otherwise, they would have sent powerful beings to kill him long ago.
On the other side of Canglan Star.
A Mo Shu tribe member, only 1.5 meters tall, lay on the bed.
Several strong men beside him were sweating profusely, massaging him.
"Use more strength. Did you guys skip dinner last night?"
"Use more strength. Let me tell you, as long as the massage feels comfortable, money is not an issue."
This Mo Shu tribe member was enjoying himself.
Suddenly.
The strong Mo Shu tribe member suddenly jolted.
"Hmm?"
The strong Mo Shu tribe member looked towards the direction of the Central Continent, his small eyes widening.
"Is he breaking through to the Sixth Stage?"
The strong Mo Shu tribe member stared in amazement.
He remembered that 'Lin Yuan,' whom he protected under the guidance of the Goddess of Wisdom, only had Fourth Stage strength, right?
How did he suddenly reach the Sixth Stage?
"How much time has passed?"
The strong Mo Shu tribe member almost thought time was chaotic, but after thinking it over, he confirmed that he had arrived on Canglan Star not long ago, not even a year.
"What a monster."
The strong Mo Shu tribe member blinked.
Even though he knew that 'Lin Yuan,' who could make the Goddess of Wisdom intervene and assign him as a bodyguard on this planet, was definitely not an ordinary person.
But in this short period, even crossing two major realms, it was too terrifying.
Central Continent Manor.
Main building's underground training ground.
"So, this is the Sixth Stage."
Lin Yuan slowly opened his eyes.
At this moment, he felt that everything in front of him had changed. The various cosmic energies pervading between heaven and earth were crystal clear in his eyes, especially the power of the sun and moon, which he could observe in detail, vividly present.
"Finally succeeded."
A smile appeared on Lin Yuan's face.
In the main world, whether it was human civilization or other alien civilizations, the Sixth Stage was a dividing point. It marked the boundary between planetary life and cosmic life.
Before the Sixth Stage, life was extremely fragile. Once leaving the planet without using other tools, survival was nearly impossible.
But at the Sixth Stage, the vast universe became more like home.
Swoosh.
Lin Yuan's figure disappeared.
The next moment.
Lin Yuan appeared outside of Canglan Star.
Under the deep and vast cosmic sky.
Lin Yuan took a deep breath.
The originally chaotic and restless cosmic energy behaved like a docile kitten, all drawn into his body.
"Canglan Star."
Lin Yuan turned his head and looked towards Canglan Star in the distance.
At this moment, the massive Canglan Star in front of him seemed sturdy on the surface but vulnerable internally. Even with the planetary defense system, as long as Lin Yuan wished, he could pierce through this star within a short period.
The lives of five billion citizens of Canglan Star were at the mercy of Lin Yuan's thoughts.
The planetary defense system could only delay Lin Yuan for a while; blocking him would be challenging.
"Hmm?"
Lin Yuan, as if discovering something, looked towards the left.
A bald man's figure appeared, "Little Junior Brother."
"Big Senior Brother?"
Lin Yuan immediately recognized this bald man as his Big Senior Brother.
Their auras were almost identical.
"And."
Lin Yuan's gaze shifted slightly, looking at another location.
A dwarf man, only 1.5 meters tall, appeared.
"Don't get too excited."
The dwarf man immediately spoke, "It's the Goddess of Wisdom who sent me here."
"Goddess of Wisdom."
Lin Yuan connected with the Goddess of Wisdom, nodded slightly after confirming.
"Is it really the Goddess of Wisdom?"
The bald man was somewhat surprised. When he protected Lin Yuan just now, he sensed the dwarf man's aura.
The two almost came to blows until the dwarf man, considering the bald man not an enemy, explained that he was commanded by the Goddess of Wisdom to come and protect 'Lin Yuan.'
Hearing this, although the bald man was skeptical, he stopped the idea of making a move. After all, he did not sense any killing intent from the dwarf man.
And during the time he protected Lin Yuan, the dwarf man never made a move. If the latter really had malicious intentions, he wouldn't wait until Lin Yuan broke through to the Sixth Stage to reveal himself.
"Mr. Lin is... the Thirteenth Peak Master of the Red Kun Lineage?"
The dwarf man carefully observed Lin Yuan and said in a low voice.
In fact, it wasn't difficult to guess. The Thirteenth Peak Master of the Red Kun Lineage breaking through to the Sixth Stage was a well-known fact. At this moment, Lin Yuan breaking through to the Sixth Stage easily led to the association between the two.
Moreover, Lin Yuan had a Seven-Stage powerhouse protecting him.
With such a background, it could only be the Red Kun Lineage.
"Thank you, Mr. Mo Shu, for protecting me during this time."
Lin Yuan immediately thanked as he learned from the Goddess of Wisdom.
"There's no need for that. I'm just following orders."
The dwarf man shook his head, "I was also curious about the identity of the Thirteenth Peak Master of the Red Kun Lineage, but I never thought that it would be 'Mr. Lin' I've been protecting."
The dwarf man looked astonished.
He had a premonition that, shortly, the entire Red Kun Star Domain, and even the surrounding star domains, would be shaken by the true identity of the Thirteenth Peak Master of the Red Kun Lineage.
