Chapter 671: Chapter 10 Mysterious Black Planet (5000 words, please subscribe)
Beneath the desolate cosmic starry skies,
Lin Yuan solemnly sized up the distant black planet.
Although the slap he had just delivered was restrained, using only a negligible fraction of his strength,
it was sufficient to obliterate a high-level life planet, and even a star, was bound to be knocked away.
But why hadn’t the black planet moved at all?
Not only had it not moved, but it also seemed as if it hadn’t been affected in the least.
This was indeed inconceivable.
Lin Yuan began to gradually increase his own power,
continuously probing the black life planet.
Still, there was no effect.
Even when Lin Yuan ramped up his power to the extent of a hundred million spatial layers,
Seeing this, Lin Yuan stopped probing directly.
He was confident he could perfectly conceal the energy fluctuations of a hundred million spatial layers,
but any further increase and Lin Yuan wasn’t sure he could keep it under wraps, possibly catching the attention of other Ninth Rank Evolvers passing by.
It could even be detected by the surveillance bureaus of human civilization.
“This planet has a significant history.” Lin Yuan felt his heart rate escalate.
The force of a hundred million spatial layers typically represented the upper limit of power for the Main Universe’s Ninth Rank strongest, especially since Lin Yuan’s inner world was considerably larger than those of his Ninth Rank peers.
But against this black planet, it was hardly effective.
This made Lin Yuan realize that the rarity of the black planet was even beyond his expectations.
“Descend to take a look?”
Lin Yuan gazed at the black life planet.
Theoretically, with Lin Yuan’s strength, he would hardly encounter any danger within the territory of human civilization.
Even black holes were mere playthings to him, posing no threat whatsoever.
But this black planet gave Lin Yuan an unsettled feeling.
To block Lin Yuan’s hundred-million-layer strength strike so effortlessly, it was already comparable to some minor secret realms.
“It’s just a Primordial Spirit anyway.”
After a moment of contemplation, Lin Yuan placed all the treasures he carried into a certain spatial layer.
Then he hid a drop of his essence blood in another location.
That way, even if he faced an extreme situation where his Taiyang Divine Spirit perished on the black planet,
the Blood Rebirth would allow him to swiftly return to the outside world, ensuring none of the Xuanhuang Crystals and other treasures taken from the Xuanhuang Secret Realm would be lost.
Having made all the preparations,
Lin Yuan began to slowly approach the black planet.
As Lin Yuan drew closer, he faintly sensed the alteration of space-time.
The seemingly less than a million li-sized black planet abruptly loomed large before him.
“To contain such profound application of the Space Rules?” Lin Yuan was shocked internally, as these spatial maneuvers were beyond his capabilities.
“Time is changing, too?” Lin Yuan also perceived a difference in the flow of time.
However, compared to the flow of time outside, the difference wasn’t significant, perhaps because Lin Yuan had not yet entered the key area within the planet.
Lin Yuan finally descended onto the black planet.
The surroundings were filled with black rocks, interspersed with some ancient architectural complexes, all abandoned. Lin Yuan took a careful look around but didn’t find any valuable information.
Lin Yuan arrived at the center of the planet.
There lay an ancient black valley.
A mysterious and ancient aura began to permeate the air.
Walking into the valley, Lin Yuan discovered that within it stood twelve massive black doors.
The doors were shut tight, their surfaces etched with complicated patterns.
Lin Yuan looked at the pattern on the first black door to his left.
a subtle message entered Lin Yuan’s mind.
“Grasp the Life and Death Samsara Rule to enter.”
“Hmm?” Lin Yuan’s expression turned serious.
The Life and Death Samsara Rule? It was one of the Fusion Rules, born from the fusion of the Life Rule and the Death Rule.
The Life Rule was one of the pillar rules of the universe, and the Death Rule was another.
The fusion of two pillar rules, upon reaching success and grasping the Life and Death Samsara Rule, would immediately confer Tenth Rank Summit combat power.
That is, Grade A Tier 10.
“Tenth Rank Summit is the requirement to enter this black door?” Lin Yuan frowned.
He then looked at the second black door on his left.
After a moment, another subtle message entered his mind.
“Grasp the Great Destruction Rule to enter.”
“The Great Destruction Rule?” Lin Yuan sighed in his heart.
This, too, was a Fusion Rule, and one particularly adept at killing, created by merging two pillar rules oriented towards destruction.
Grasping such a Fusion Rule would mean being Grade A Tier 10, and among the strong within that group.
Lin Yuan continued to examine the remaining ten black doors.
Without exception, the condition for entering these doors was to grasp a particular Fusion Rule.
“Even as a Grade A Tier 10, that’s only the threshold for entering the black doors, as for whether or not one can truly enter depends on the specific Fusion Rule grasped,” Lin Yuan thought to himself.
Undoubtedly, the Fusion Rules corresponding to the twelve black doors were all extremely high-grade, and grasping them would certainly allow one to become a Grade A Tier 10.
But not all Grade A Tier 10 strong individuals might have grasped one of these twelve Fusion Rules.
“Forcing my way in won’t work…”
After another look, Lin Yuan observed that since the information on the black doors indicated that entering required grasping the corresponding Fusion Rule,
one could infer that without grasping it, entry would be impossible. Given that such rules targeted Grade A Tier 10, Lin Yuan’s current strength still fell short.
Lin Yuan could best someone like Tower Master Nalan, a Grade A Tier 10, because their contest was solely about the understanding of the Rule of Time.
If they were to go all out, allowing the use of various methods, Lin Yuan would definitely not be able to defeat Tower Master Nalan.
