Inside the ck gate was a vast expanse of space.
"Is this a contained space?" Lin Yuan looked around cautiously.
The ck wasn''trge, yet the space within the gate was so expansive. Lin Yuan didn''t find this surprising. It was just a deeper application of space rules.
Lin Yuan''s internal world spanned more than two hundred million miles, yet it was contained within a sea of qi the size of a fist. It was a simr principle.
"The suppression in this space is incredibly strong," Lin Yuan thought to himself, shocked.
The pressure here far surpassed that of the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm, to the point where Lin Yuan couldn''t even merge with the spatialyers.
"There."
Lin Yuan looked ahead and saw a narrow path made of ck stones, surrounded by a vast white area.
"The only safe way forward is along this ck stone path," Lin Yuan thought as his forehead twitched. The white areas filled him with an instinctive fear, while the narrow ck stone path offered a sense of safety."What?"
"I can''t go back?"
Lin Yuan turned to look and found that the gate behind him had already disappeared.
There was only one path ahead for Lin Yuan now—continuing forward.
"Oh well."
"At worst, I''ll lose this Primordial Spirit."
"It''s not something I can''t ept."
After pondering for a moment, Lin Yuan began walking along the ck stone path.
Lin Yuan had already informed the Wisdom Goddess about this ck, so the three goddesses were likely aware of it by now.
If the three goddesses knew, then Supreme Xia Qin and other ultimate beings must also be aware.
Given that Supreme Xia Qin hadn''t specifically warned him, it indicated that this ck probably wasn''t overly dangerous.
The ck was rted to an ancient event where countless treasures fell into the universe, and since human civilization had inherited key treasures from that event, Supreme Xia Qin should have a good understanding of the ck.
The fact that Supreme Xia Qin didn''t warn Lin Yuan suggested that there was no insurmountable danger here.
Time passed.
In the blink of an eye, half an hour had gone by.
"Hm?"
"I can feel the fluctuations of other rules fading, while only the rules of life and death are bing clearer?" Lin Yuan noticed the change around him.
"Rules of life and death? Could this ce be rted to the Samsara of Life and Death Rule?"
Many spections crossed Lin Yuan''s mind, but they were just that—spections. The only way to find out was to keep moving forward.
At the Xiayou Evolution Tower.
Supreme Xia Qin seemed to sense something, lifting his head slightly to look toward a specific area.
If Lin Yuan were present, he would have realized that the area Supreme Xia Qin was looking at was the star domain where the ck was located.
"That little guy has entered," Supreme Xia Qin said with a smile.
Buzz.
A figure quickly condensed beside him—it was Supreme Yu Die.
"That inheritance star must be a remnant from that ancient event. We''ve been unaware of it for so many years, and that little guy just stumbled upon it. It''s luck," Supreme Yu Die smiled faintly.
The ck''s aura was entirely concealed, even to the point where Supreme beings wouldn''t notice it unless they were within a certain proximity.
Otherwise, with the perception of Supreme beings, who could see across millions and billions of light-years and scan the entire universe, they wouldn''t have taken so long to find it.
Some treasures hide themselves. If you don''t get close, you won''t notice anything unusual.
In fact, some treasures are so well-hidden that even if you do get close, you might not notice anything unless you meet specific conditions.
For example, Lin Yuan''s mysterious gourd—if it weren''t for his mastery of the physical divine ability "Blood Rebirth," he might never have figured out its use.
"The inheritance star contains various paths of pir-level fusion rules. Only Tenth Rank beings can enter. If that little guy can pass three or four of these paths, he might be able to break through to the Eleventh Rank," Supreme Xia Qin said.
"Pass three or four paths?" Supreme Yu Die pondered for a moment.
Normally, a Tenth Rank evolver only needs to pass one path to reach the Eleventh Rank, but considering Lin Yuan''s impressive track record, it wasn''t impossible for him to pass three or four.
"But I wonder what level of fusion rule paths this inheritance star contains?"
Supreme Xia Qin murmured to himself.
ording to the highest secrets held by human civilization, inheritance stars that came from outside the universe also had different levels of quality.
The higher the level of fusion rule paths contained within, the more precious the inheritance star, but the more difficult it was to pass.
However, to know the level of the fusion rule paths, one must first sessfully pass a path.
If you don''t pass it, even a Supreme being wouldn''t be able to know.
Supreme beings could destroy the ck, but if the inheritance star sensed an unstoppable threat, it would initiate self-destruction.
Inside the ck gate.
In the vast space, Lin Yuan walked step by step along the narrow ck stone path.
He didn''t know how much time had passed.
Eventually, Lin Yuan arrived at a ck altar.
"Here..."
Lin Yuan stopped and began to carefully sense his surroundings.
He could no longer perceive the fluctuations of other rules. Only the rules of life and death had be incredibly clear.
Theck of other rule fluctuations meant that Lin Yuan couldn''t rely on the power of those rules.
For instance, the fusion rule "Spatial Disintegration," which Lin Yuan hadprehended, was abination of the space rule and the gold rule.
But in this space, the power of that fusion rule would be greatly weakened because he couldn''t sense the space rule or the gold rule.
He could only rely on his mastery of the "Spatial Disintegration" fusion rule.
"But where do I go now?"
Lin Yuan studied the altar before him.
After waiting cautiously for a while and seeing no change, he stepped onto the altar.
As soon as Lin Yuan stepped onto the altar, it began to tremble slightly.
Buzz.
Arge amount of ck light quickly gathered, condensing into a stern-faced man in a ck robe.
"Who are you?" Lin Yuan looked at the man in the ck robe with a serious expression.
"Greetings."
"I am the spirit of this altar. I''m here to test you."
"If you pass, you''ll receive the final reward of this fusion rule path."
The ck-robed man spoke calmly as he looked at Lin Yuan.
"Spirit of the altar?"
Lin Yuan quickly understood the ck-robed man''s "role," simr to Shen Ji, the human-shaped stone statue in the Devil Jade Space, or the six-armed figure in the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm.
"May I ask, Senior, what is the final reward?" Lin Yuan immediately inquired.
"You''ll find out once you pass," the ck-robed man shook his head. "Only those who pass the test will know what the final reward is, but I can give you a hint—the final reward is rted to the Samsara of Life and Death Rule."
"I see."
Lin Yuan seemed to understand, though inwardly he was a bit exasperated.
Of course, he could guess that the final reward was rted to the Samsara of Life and Death Rule.
Would the final reward on a path that requires the Samsara of Life and Death Rule be something rted to the Great Destruction Rule instead?
"What is the test?" Lin Yuan asked again.
"The test is about your mastery of the Samsara of Life and Death Rule," the ck-robed man said sinctly.
"You''ve probably already noticed that in this space, only the fluctuations of the life and death rules are present, while the other rules cannot be sensed."
The ck-robed man exined.
"Yes."
Lin Yuan nodded.
Simply put, the most powerful rule Lin Yuan could use right now was the Samsara of Life and Death Rule.
"Now."
The ck-robed man waved his hand, and several dozen ck stone walls descended, standing in the distance.
The ck stone walls were arranged in a sequence from front to back.
"The Samsara of Life and Death Rule is a rule of ughter, and the test of this rule is based on the level of destruction you can cause."
"Now, I want you to fully activate the Samsara of Life and Death Rule and attack these ck stone walls. The more walls you prate, the greater your chance of passing the test."
The ck-robed man didn''t waste words and spoke directly.
"Fully activate?"
Lin Yuan asked for rification.
"That''s right."
"Fully activate."
"Let me see the limits of your destructive power."
The ck-robed man nced at Lin Yuan, seemingly puzzled by why he would ask such a question.
"Don''t worry. I can tell that you''ve only recently mastered the Samsara of Life and Death Rule."
"In this situation, even if you fully activate the Samsara of Life and Death Rule, it will be challenging just to prate the first ck stone wall, let alone all of them."
The ck-robed man patiently exined.
Although he had already estimated the scope of destruction Lin Yuan''s Samsara of Life and Death Rule could cause, he still needed Lin Yuan to take the test to confirm it.
"Very well."
Lin Yuan nodded.
Sinceprehending the Samsara of Life and Death Rule, he had never fully unleashed it.
Even in the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm, he had only used it sparingly, stopping as soon as he noticed its impact on the secret realm.
"Begin."
The ck-robed man fell silent after speaking.
From the moment Lin Yuan used a trace of the Samsara of Life and Death Rule to open the outer gate and enter, the ck-robed man had already made a rough assessment of Lin Yuan''s mastery of the rule.
"Samsara of Life and Death."
Lin Yuan raised his right hand and extended his index finger, carefully pointing toward the row of ck stone walls.
The ck-robed man initially maintained a neutral expression, but his demeanor suddenly changed dramatically. He looked at Lin Yuan''s simple point with disbelief.
"What?"
The ck-robed man''s pupils contracted sharply.
In the next instant—
The power of the Samsara of Life and Death Rule instantly prated through billions ofyers of space, tearing open a hole. The ck stone walls were crushed without resistance.
Even after shattering all the ck stone walls, the force continued to extend far beyond, piercing through the entire space and pushing even deeper.
It wasn''t until a faint, obscure vibration was felt that everything calmed down.
Even so, the gray area that the force had prated was still distorted and disintegrating under the endless cycle of the Samsara of Life and Death.
At the Xiayou Evolution Tower.
Supreme Xia Qin and Supreme Yu Die continued to observe the ck while casually chatting.
At that moment—
A peculiar look appeared on Supreme Xia Qin''s face.
He then carefully observed the ck from countless light-years away.
Momentster—
Supreme Xia Qin narrowed his eyes and spoke:
"Yu Die."
"Did you notice that the inheritance star..."
"...seemed to tremble just now?"
