"Thud! Thud! Thud!!!"
Lin Yuan's heart beat slowly, each pulsation sending blood to his limbs and throughout his body.
For a powerhouse at Lin Yuan's level, the heart was more than just a simple organ.
It gathered a vast amount of energy, and the so-called 'beats'... were not quite accurate, more like 'throbs'.
It was the origin of the physical body, the foundation of the physique.
The Martial Ancestor Golden Body, that Lin Yuan had cultivated strictly according to human standards, became increasingly solid with every throb of the deep-seated information or 'imprint' within his bloodline.
Until it was fully formed.
An indescribably complex Divine Ability Imprint was born, boiling all the bloodline power throughout his body.
With the newly born Divine Ability Imprint, Lin Yuan seemed to see the very beginning of the Tianqing World's creation, even scenes before its birth, like an epic unfolding.
The construction of the most minute aspects of the world, any change, all poured into Lin Yuan's mind.
"The birth of a world?"
Lin Yuan watched, utterly fascinated.
In the Main Universe, Eighth Layer Evolvers created Inner Worlds within themselves.
But this creation wholly relied on the spatial-temporal structure of the Main Universe.
It was akin to establishing an incredibly similar world on the 'template' of the Main Universe.
Subsequently, Evolvers who understood the Rule of Time, wielding space and time, considered their Inner Worlds 'independent' and 'complete'.
But no matter how 'independent' or 'complete,' they originated from the Main Universe.
It's like a baby born from its mother, detached from the womb, yet everything about it comes from the mother.
And to create a complete world from nothing, without relying on any 'mother'...
Even an Eleventh-Rank Life couldn't do it; perhaps only a Supreme Being would have hope to achieve this.
Creation is the most difficult.
But now, as Lin Yuan watched the condensation of the Divine Ability Imprint at the deepest part of his bloodline, he faintly saw the process of a world being born from nothing.
[Your insight is against the heavens, observing the birthmark of the world, your understanding of the essence of the world elevates...]
Lin Yuan was absorbed in observation.
The Divine Ability Imprint within the depths of the bloodline contracted, and a stream of information emerged from it.
"My fifth Physical Body Divine Ability..."
Lin Yuan's spirit shook, and he immediately began to observe the information flowing out from the Divine Ability Imprint.
Compared to the four previous Divine Ability Imprints Lin Yuan had manifested, the one that had now condensed revealed the most grandeur by far, even involving scenes from before the Tianqing World's inception.
These were scenarios that Lin Yuan, as the 'Heavenly Tao' of the Tianqing World, couldn't trace back to, but they appeared in his mind after the Physical Body Divine Ability was consolidated.
"Physical Body Divine Ability—'World'!"
Lin Yuan quickly understood his fifth Physical Body Divine Ability.
This Divine Ability's might was immensely powerful; once deployed, with Lin Yuan at the center, it would form a world as large as his Inner World.
Simply put, this Divine Ability could transform Lin Yuan's Inner World into an Outer World for a short time.
It wasn't a mere shadow of a world or the force of a world; it was an actual world enveloping everything, with Lin Yuan as the master of the world, he could easily control the entire Origin Power of the world, and any move he made would be amplified tenfold or a hundredfold.
The enemies, on the other hand, would be suppressed by the world itself, their speeds plummeting, their strength dropping drastically, weakened in every aspect.
"This is outrageous, truly outrageous."
Even with high expectations for this Physical Body Divine Ability, thinking it might become his strongest, Lin Yuan was still inexplicably shocked after learning of the Divine Ability 'World' and its details.
Because this Divine Ability was simply defying heaven.
As everyone knows, when are the combat powers of Main Universe's Eighth Layer or higher powerhouses at their strongest?
By triggering Forbidden Secret Techniques?
By wielding powerful weapons?
It's when they are within their own Inner Worlds; that's when their combat power is at its peak.
In an Inner World, one can command the tremendous force of the world itself, achieving home-ground suppression.
The Inner World of an Eighth Rank being is such that even Ninth Rank and Tenth Rank beings wouldn't dare to enter lightly.
Even with the might of a Tenth Rank, within an Eighth Rank's Inner World, the vast Origin Power of the world cannot be suppressed, but what if the Eighth Rank being detonates their Inner World?
The terrifying explosion of the world's power is fully capable of severely injuring a Tenth Rank being.
An Eighth Rank injuring a Tenth Rank—such a preposterous thing would normally be considered absurd, but if a Tenth Rank being entered an Eighth Rank's Inner World, it becomes quite possible.
The home-ground advantage of an Inner World is strong but somewhat useless.
Unless there's imposing disparity in strength, it's nearly impossible to ensnare an enemy within one's Inner World.
You have your Inner World; so do I.
Just need to similarly awaken the power of the Inner World, neutralize each other, and you can resist being drawn in.
It's like two magnets with the same polarity, even if one magnet is many times larger than the other, they repel each other due to same polarity, and under normal circumstances, they can't stick together.
And when Eighth Rank powerhouses or Ninth Rank powerhouses engage in battle, it's usually by crushing the external parts of one's Inner World; as for crushing from the inside?
Everyone's not a fool; how could they easily enter another's Inner World?
But Lin Yuan's newly born 'World' Divine Ability could instantly condense an Outer World.
No matter if you're willing to enter or not, it directly places the surroundings under the domain of its own world, turning any place into a home-ground favorable to oneself.
Of course, the Divine Ability 'World' isn't without its drawbacks; it doesn't last long, probably only about six seconds.
