Chapter 329
Before Lin Yuan attempted his ninth transmigration, he mentioned that a senior was on the way to give Xi Lan hope. This wasn't entirely fabricated since the term 'senior' implied someone capable of opposing Huny.
As long as Lin Yuan safely passed his ninth transmigration and significantly increased his power, he himself would become that 'senior.'
In Lin Yuan's initial expectations before transmigration, even without the aid of divinity, he could potentially cultivate to the ninth rank and ten million space layers within the thousand years of transmigration.
With his inner world's vast size of over a 100M miles, he might still match Huny in overall strength despite any gaps in space layer development.
Moreover, the actual gains from this transmigration far exceeded Lin Yuan's pre-transmigration expectations.
"Inner world."
Lin Yuan also observed his inner world.
Upon returning, his inner world's size hadn't changed, as it required fully absorbing the liquid from the mysterious gourd to restore it to nearly 200M miles. However, the depth of the inner world, or the space layers, expanded at a terrifying speed, reaching millions and tens of millions of layers.
Developing space layers required profound understanding of spatial essence. With Lin Yuan's current comprehension, he could rapidly restore to 2.331 billion layers.
"Let's go outside."Lin Yuan glanced up, and with his mastery over space layers, he could easily see the outside world, even if isolated within Xi Lan's inner world.
"Go outside?"
Xi Lan was confused. Could it be that Lin Yuan's 'senior' had arrived? Yet, Xi Lan sensed no approaching aura of a ninth-rank powerhouse. Although many ninth-rank aliens were observing from a distance, their auras didn't seem capable of restraining Huny.
In the next moment, under Xi Lan's watchful eyes, Lin Yuan's figure vanished from the original spot.
"Has the Milky Way Star Lord gone out?"
Seeing this, Xi Lan was taken aback. In his inner world, without his permission, how could the Milky Way Star Lord have left?
Xi Lan, as the creator of his inner world, was akin to a god within it, controlling all its power.
Even a ninth-rank like Huny, with over 30 million space layers, would need to shatter the inner world to escape if Xi Lan disapproved. Leaving silently?
Perhaps a tenth or eleventh-rank could, as their understanding of spatial essence was unfathomable, bypassing Xi Lan's control.
But how did Lin Yuan leave? Xi Lan was baffled but quickly realized the Milky Way Star Lord had left, and Huny was hunting outside. Without Xi Lan helping Lin Yuan escape, he would be captured instantly by Huny.
"Not good."
Xi Lan's consciousness dissipated within the inner world.
Outside, Xi Lan was evading Huny using various void evolution techniques, slipping through the gaps between space layers.
Suddenly—
Swoosh.
Lin Yuan appeared beside Xi Lan.
Huny, who was in pursuit, was momentarily stunned, then overjoyed. If Lin Yuan had stayed in Xi Lan's inner world, he might have survived a bit longer under Huny's pursuit. But now, coming out and standing still?
Swoosh.
Xi Lan, who had fled far away, returned to Lin Yuan's side.
"Milky Way Star Lord." Xi Lan's expression was grave. He could keenly sense that the moment they stopped, Huny had seized the opportunity to completely lock all surrounding space layers. Now, Xi Lan and the Milky Way Star Lord were like fish in a barrel, at Huny's mercy.
Simultaneously, many ninth-rank aliens watching from afar noticed the Milky Way Star Lord revealing himself without any intention of escaping.
"Has the Milky Way Star Lord given up hope, not even trying to escape?"
"It seems so. He should have known earlier that escaping Huny's pursuit was futile if no same-tier human evolvers were nearby, just a waste of time."
"Yes, if he had self-destructed his clone at the start, by now he might have half-consolidated his second clone."
The ninth-rank aliens continued to discuss, still unwilling to disperse. Witnessing the fall of a peerless genius from human civilization, even just a clone, was a rare event. Human civilization cherished their geniuses, often heavily protecting them.
Even in alien battlefields, high-ranking evolvers would specifically watch over them. But in the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm, no tenth-rank or higher could enter, not even the strongest ones could spy.
Here, human civilization's geniuses faced many dangers alone, like now, with the Milky Way Star Lord against Huny's pursuit.
"It's almost the critical moment." Deep within the space layers, Maduo Walker also grew tense, raising his right hand as a vortex resembling a black hole slowly rotated.
This life-saving trump card came from his Ancient God ancestor, containing part of the essence of time rules. His Ancient God ancestor was immensely old, having long comprehended the complete time rules.
Even so, creating this life-saving trump card came at a significant cost. Compared to human civilization's reproductive abilities, those Ancient Gods in the depths of the universe were mostly born as special beings.
Their innate talents were terrifyingly strong, but their reproductive abilities were exceedingly weak. Some unique life forms couldn't reproduce at all, having no kin across the vast universe.
Thus, Maduo Walker's Ancient God ancestor highly valued this descendant, willing to pay the price to create this trump card.
In the deep space of the universe, Maduo Walker's true body immediately informed the ancestor of the situation in the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm.
"The Milky Way Star Lord revealed himself?" The Ancient God ancestor's massive body affected surrounding time and space as he stroked his chin, saying, "When the Milky Way Star Lord is on the brink of life and death, activate the 'Time Black Hole' I gave you."
"I understand"
"Don't hesitate for a moment."
The Ancient God ancestor reminded, as acting too late would waste the effort if the Milky Way Star Lord was killed by Huny. Acting too early, the Milky Way Star Lord wouldn't feel desperate, making the assistance less impactful.
"Understood, ancestor."
"I'm ready at all times."
Maduo Walker nodded. Although he didn't understand why the ancestor valued the Milky Way Star Lord so much, willing to offend the Tianyu Clan, the ancestor had long navigated among several top clans, thriving due to his insight. Even two strongest ones had been aided by him before their rise.
"Hahaha, Milky Way Star Lord, seems you know your fate."
Huny quickly sealed the surrounding space layers, relaxing as he faced the calm Lin Yuan. In the space he locked, even a same-tier human couldn't help. He could easily move Lin Yuan into his inner world.
Now, Huny, ready to humiliate the Milky Way Star Lord, didn't kill immediately. He knew the Milky Way Star Lord could self-destruct his clone in a moment, so he savored the situation.
"Milky Way Star Lord, still not self-destructing? Still defiant?" Huny mocked.
Knowing the Milky Way Star Lord's talent could surpass him one day, Huny didn't care now, as he could crush him.
"Huny." Lin Yuan looked at Huny, shaking his head, "You're too weak now."
"Too weak?" Huny laughed, thinking Lin Yuan vented before death.
Even tenth-rank experts wouldn't call him weak. To reach over 30 million space layers at ninth rank wasn't common.
"I don't even want to talk to you." Lin Yuan sighed.
Initially, he thought of mocking Huny after transmigration, but now, their gap was so vast, he lost interest.
"No interest in talking?!" Huny chuckled, about to respond.
Next moment, Huny's expression changed dramatically.
In an instant, the space layers he controlled were forcibly expelled by a near-brutal force. Fear crossed his face.
Within a breath, he lost control over all surrounding space layers, which were now occupied by a power far exceeding his 30 million layers.
"You?" Huny sweated coldly, staring at Lin Yuan in disbelief as that power came from the Milky Way Star Lord.
"Die." Lin Yuan's expression was calm, and with a thought, countless space layers pressed down.
"How?" Huny felt immense fear, immediately self-destructing his clone.
If he didn't, he felt he'd be captured by the Milky Way Star Lord, and if taken back to human territory, he'd face a real death through curse-killing techniques or memory poisons.
In the Tianyu Clan's territory, Huny's true body opened his eyes, filled with disbelief.
"What happened?"
"How could the Milky Way Star Lord have such power?"
"I sensed he occupied far more than 30 million layers. No, at least 100 million layers. Otherwise, he couldn't suppress me with space layers alone?"
Huny couldn't believe it. 100 million layers? Even in Tianyu Clan's history, no ninth-rank life could reach such a level.
In the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm, Xi Lan, initially in despair, watched Huny forced to self-destruct by Lin Yuan and was stunned.
What happened?
What just happened?
Xi Lan's mind was blank.
"Milky Way Star Lord." Xi Lan instinctively looked at Lin Yuan, knowing Huny's self-destruction was related to him.
"The Milky Way Star Lord occupied all surrounding space layers?" Xi Lan sensed the overwhelming space layers under Lin Yuan's control, feeling pressure far beyond Huny's pursuit.
"It's over."
"Huny is dealt with."
Lin Yuan summoned Huny's space ring into his hand.
"Dealt with?"
Xi Lan felt like dreaming. He had imagined many scenarios: both dying by Huny's hands, Lin Yuan's 'senior' arriving, a friendly ninth-rank alien intervening, or a terrifying native life form appearing to distract Huny. But he never thought Lin Yuan would force Huny's self-destruction so effortlessly.
Far away, the observing ninth-rank aliens were equally shocked.
"Huny self-destructed?"
"What happened? Why self-destruct?"
"Of course, it's the Milky Way Star Lord. All nearby space layers are under his control. His power far surpasses Huny, forcing self-destruction."
The watching ninth-rank aliens buzzed with discussion, not expecting such a turn of events. The seemingly dominant Huny was forced to self-destruct, while the Milky Way Star Lord showed near-unbelievable power.
In the deep space of the universe, Maduo Walker's true body was stunned, witnessing the scene in the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm.
"What happened?"
"Did you use the 'Time Black Hole' I gave you?"
The nearby Ancient God ancestor immediately asked, expecting Huny to shame and quickly kill the Milky Way Star Lord. At that moment, Maduo Walker was supposed to use the 'Time Black Hole' to trap Huny and save the Milky Way Star Lord, earning his favor.
"No." Maduo Walker, silent for a moment, replied.
"No?" The Ancient God ancestor, annoyed, said, "Why not use the 'Time Black Hole'? Was it too precious?"
"Foolish!"
"I can create more such items, but missing the Milky Way Star Lord's favor after this realm, will you have another chance?"
The Ancient God ancestor, frustrated, scolded Maduo Walker.
"Ancestor," Maduo Walker shrunk back, "I intended to use it."
"Then why didn't you?" The Ancient God ancestor raised his voice, ready to scold further.
"Because Huny died, killed by the Milky Way Star Lord." Maduo Walker, regaining composure, said, "I didn't have time."
"The Milky Way Star Lord killed Huny?"
The Ancient God ancestor fell silent, staring at Maduo Walker, filled with uncertainty.
