Comprehension Ability: Creating and teaching the Dao in various worlds

Chapter 348: Chapter 9: The Ambitious Tianqing Alliance Leader (Happy New Year)_2

“The root of the void has been completely absorbed…”

Lin Yuan ceased his enlightenment, feeling quite pleased.

“There’s also the Fiendgod Gaze, such soul attack techniques, with their own evil and chaotic Origin Source…”

Lin Yuan thought of another ability of the Ancestral Demon Tree.

However, this ability wasn’t as important to Lin Yuan as he had imagined; in terms of soul attack techniques, the Human Civilization of the Main World didn’t know how many they had collected.

There were many stronger than the Fiendgod Gaze.

...
“Demon World…”

Lin Yuan’s expression became slightly solemn as he began to comprehend the ultimate ability of the Ancestral Demon Tree.

It was the talent to consume the Demon Tree’s Origin Source to, in a short time, condense a massive force of demonic power and refine an illusory Demon World.

This kind of illusory Demon World shared a mysteriously similar function with the inner worlds of Eighth Layer powerhouses.

Due to its inherent nature, the Ancestral Demon Tree could not create its own inner world; the pure force of demons was too extreme. Nonetheless, with its talent, it could achieve something similar.

“This talent involves the profound mysteries of space…”

Varieties of core spatial models emerged in Lin Yuan’s mind; spatial-talent secret techniques invariably revolved around spatial models.

The ability of the Demon World to condense an illusory Demon World undoubtedly contained the essence of Space Rules.

…

“Take it slowly.”

“The Demon World is the ace talent of the Ancestral Demon Tree. Even that Foreign Evil God only knew how to use it without understanding its essence.”

“Even with my Against-Heaven’s Understanding, to fully comprehend such a talent would require a great deal of time.”

Lin Yuan contemplated for a while and found his progress somewhat slow, but he wasn’t disappointed.

How long had it been since he started?

“I wonder what rating the Seventh Rank Chapter of the Martial Arts Evolution System will get from the Goddess of Wisdom…”

Lin Yuan was somewhat expectant.

Lin Yuan’s refinement of the Seventh Rank Chapter had already reached the Marquis stage. There were still five hundred years left in this world he had traveled to before returning to the Main World.

Before returning to the Main World, there should be no problem in completely developing the Seventh Rank Chapter.

The Seventh Rank Chapter of the Martial Arts Evolution System contained many of Lin Yuan’s painstaking efforts, starting with the creation of the inner world.

Although Lin Yuan would not annotate in the Seventh Rank Chapter of Martial Arts Evolution System the possibility of opening an inner world during this phase,

with the computational power of the Goddess of Wisdom and the other two goddesses, they should be able to deduce it.

Indeed, like Lin Yuan, opening an inner world at the Seventh Rank would be subject to many restrictions, yet the multitude of restrictions couldn’t obscure the precious possibility.

For an Evolver, being able to open an inner world at the Seventh Rank is undeniably a groundbreaking benefit.

There’s no need to mention combat power; even if the inner world opened is only a few miles wide, one could almost certainly sweep other Seventh Rank Evolvers.

And observing the natural operation of the inner world greatly assists Evolvers as well.

Besides the inner world, Lin Yuan has now incorporated the abilities of many Evil Gods into the Seventh Rank Chapter, making Seventh Stage Martial Tao Evolvers equipped to face various difficulties.

…

From the inner to the outer areas of the Black Mist Mountain Range.

The Divine Ape King, the Giant Elephant King, and the King of Azure Birds were patrolling nearby.

“The master is too kind…”

“To actually tell us not to lay hands on those ant-like humans…”

The Divine Ape King, Giant Elephant King, and King of Azure Birds had long been parasitized by seeds of the demon kind, absolutely loyal to Lin Yuan, with no improper thoughts or ideas.

“Indeed, with the master’s strength, he could easily take over half of the Tianqing World, not to mention unifying it. Yet he stays in the Black Mist Mountain Range…”

The Divine Ape King sighed.

The Giant Elephant King and King of Azure Birds nodded in agreement.

As hosts to the demon seeds, even though they acted exactly like the original Demon Beast Kings, they had a certain innate inclination toward aggression and slaughter.

This instinct came from the Ancestral Demon Tree, which as a Foreign Evil God, delighted most in slaughter and invasion.

“Alright.”

“Don’t talk about this kind of thing anymore.”

“If the master hears it, punishment is unavoidable.”

After some thought, the Giant Elephant King warned.

Although they were some distance from Lin Yuan at the moment, in the eyes of the few Demon Beast Kings, the master was invincible. If the master wanted to know, there was nothing in the entire Black Mist Mountain Range that could be hidden from him.

…

“Eighth Layer….”

While cultivating enlightenment, Lin Yuan also pondered the path to the Eighth Layer.

For an evolver like Lin Yuan, who had long since created his own Inner World, the greatest challenge in advancing to the Eighth Layer was the Heart Demon Tribulation.

The Heart Demon Tribulation was unrelated to the flesh; it targeted the spirit will.

Therefore—

During the Heart Demon Tribulation, external forces were essentially useless; to successfully overcome it, one could only rely on oneself, on an indestructible spirit will.

However,

The concept of spirit will was very nebulous.

The strength of one’s spirit will was not necessarily linked to one’s power.

Of course, the stronger the evolver, the less likely their spirit will was to be weak.

But there had been natives on a barbaric wilderness planet within the Main World’s human civilization who possessed frighteningly high spirit will.

“According to the teacher’s words, the so-called Heart Demon is the condensed essence of the endless resentment and other negative energies of a world.”

“It’s related to the fundamental laws of the world and only appears when an evolver reaches a certain layer.”

Lin Yuan silently thought, recalling the details that the Chikun Star Lord had discussed regarding ‘Heart Demons.’

Normally, a Heart Demon is a phantom entity, even more ethereal than the soul or primordial spirit, so not even soul defense treasures can counter the Heart Demon.

When a Seventh-Rank Peak Evolver attempts to break through to the Eighth Layer, the Heart Demon Tribulation descends, leaving no possibility for turning back because the Heart Demon cannot be blocked, nor can you flee from it. As long as you are within the world, there is nowhere to hide.

“However, I have the Door to the Myriad Realms. Can I first traverse worlds, attempt to break through to the Eighth Layer, and face the Heart Demon Tribulation?”

“If I sense something amiss and find that I can’t withstand the Heart Demon Tribulation, then I’ll run, returning to the Main World.”

“Heart Demons couldn’t possibly have the ability to travel through the myriad realms, could they? To follow me back to the Main World?”

Lin Yuan considered a subtle strategy, which was to utilize his own advantage and attempt to face the Heart Demon Tribulation in different worlds.

…

Outside the world.

The endless demonic power of the Ancestral Demon Tree formed the Demon World, which was suddenly torn open by a rift.

Whoosh.

A figure burst forth from the crack, escaping while letting out bursts of wild laughter.

“Hahahaha, Foreign Evil God, with the World Sword protecting me, you cannot possibly kill me.”

The Tianqing Alliance Leader wielded the World Sword and moved away from the Ancestral Demon Tree.

“Damn it.”

The Ancestral Demon Tree could only watch helplessly as the Tianqing Alliance Leader escaped.

Originally, it had been suffering an Origin Source deficit, and now it had exerted itself using the extremely taxing ‘Demon World’ technique, coupled with the numerous wounds inflicted by the Tianqing Alliance Leader’s sword within the world.

The Ancestral Demon Tree, now incredibly weak, was utterly incapable of pursuing to kill the Tianqing Alliance Leader.

Or rather, even if the Ancestral Demon Tree had the strength to pursue, it would not, because it fundamentally couldn’t kill the Tianqing Alliance Leader.

…

Whoosh.

The Tianqing Alliance Leader transformed into a ray of light and returned to the side of the twelve Vice Alliance Hierarchs.

At the same time, the Ancestral Demon Tree slowly receded and vanished from everyone’s sight.

“Alliance Leader.”

“Alliance Leader, are you alright?”

“That Evil God didn’t hurt you, did it?”

The twelve Vice Alliance Hierarchs immediately asked with concern.

At this moment, the Tianqing Alliance Leader’s aura was somewhat weakened, but his eyes shone with unprecedented brightness.

This time, he risked his life and fought alone against the Ancestral Demon Tree. During their full-powered clash, he finally comprehended the true extent of the Ancestral Demon Tree’s weakness.

“Weakened.”

“That Foreign Evil God is currently in a weakened state.”

The Tianqing Alliance Leader’s heart raced; the weakness he perceived was not due to the use of a trump card, but rather, it predated that—it was already very weak.

“The opportunity for my Tianqing World… is coming…”

The Tianqing Alliance Leader looked towards the twelve Vice Alliance Hierarchs, his spirit agitated and filled with confidence.
