Chapter 1258 Getting Stronger
Meanwhile, on the battlefield of the human race's territory.
A colossal planetary fortress stands in the dim starry sky, with massive black vortexes swallowing all light.
"BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!"
These are five enormous wormholes, all created by a powerful being, through which numerous spaceships can be seen moving in and out.
Large fleets of demons, insects, gods, destroyers, and prisoners emerged from different wormholes and eventually converged in the massive fortress.
A somber atmosphere had already filled the air.
"The intensity of the war has increased!"
"This time I'm going to devour even more humans; their flesh and blood are incredibly delicious."
"I've missed it for a long time."
In the starry sky, several terrifying figures converged together.
Their aura was powerful, far surpassing that of the Sovereigns. Strands of the power of the Great Dao surrounded them like surging waves. If they hadn't been restrained, the surrounding starry sky would have been torn into countless streams of particles.
A burly man shrouded in endless crimson light and clad in blood-red armor spoke:
"The human race has suffered heavy losses this time, and it will probably take a long time to recover."
"If it weren't for the secret assistance of the Dragon Clan and the Crystal Clan, more than one Supreme Being would have perished. If the Lord of the Void Abyss and the Lord of the Heavenly Ruins were to fall as well, the strength of the human race would be greatly weakened."
"Destroying the entire human race would be much easier."
A man radiating dazzling golden light, clad in golden armor, and with a dignified face sneered:
"As long as the human race loses its Primordial Lord, it cannot be considered a peak race at all."
"He is currently being hunted down by the ancient ancestors of our clans and won't live much longer."
"We must also take this opportunity to conquer more of the human race's territory at the lowest possible cost, before they can react."
One of them, shrouded in exquisite silver armor and surrounded by the power of the Void Dao, was a supreme being from the Celestial Race who said:
"This operation is commanded by me, the Lord of Void Origin."
"War has broken out, let's move out now!"
Upon hearing his command, the supreme rulers of other races harbored some resentment.
Especially the supreme leader of the demon race, who muttered to himself:
"This overall command should be held by our demon race, how can we let your celestial race take it?"
"It's a pity that the Lord of Zhenming was killed by the Lord of Taichu. He should have been in command this time."
"But he probably won't live much longer."
"Based on my speculation, this is the first clash, and the human race will definitely unleash an astonishing counterattack."
"The Lord of Time and Space, the Lord of Immortality, and the Lord of Deep Space—these three might kill our commander with earth-shattering force."
……
In the following time, Lin Qi went to the Yan Academy to observe the chaotic artifact—the Five-Colored Chaos Stone!
This is a chaotic artifact containing the laws of the Five Elements, and it is one of the most precious of all chaotic artifacts.
Its original owner was the Primordial Lord, and it was a chaotic wonder extracted from the other party's supreme treasure.
It can help the invincible ruler comprehend the Five Elements Laws together.
He has now mastered the Law of Metal and can quickly comprehend the laws of the Five Elements through the Five-Colored Chaos Stone.
Many invincible rulers are like this; through observation, they can not only comprehend the Five Elements Law, but also create a chain reaction, accelerating their comprehension of other laws.
Therefore, Lin Qi also chose to come and observe the Five-Colored Chaos Stone. Very few martial artists were able to come here to observe it.
Meanwhile, Lin Qi's understanding of the Law of Fire was rapidly improving as he observed.
Insights arise in his mind every moment, and he is also rapidly gaining a deeper understanding of the profound mysteries.
I make progress every day.
While he was cultivating, he was also secretly observing the situation on the battlefield.
Their original policy was to continuously expand, and over hundreds of thousands of years, they had expanded from the original 108 star systems to 115 star systems.
However, the situation is dangerous now, so we have no choice but to shrink our defenses.
They directly migrated all the planets in these territories back to the original 108 star system.
The entire defensive line contracted, turning the vacated star field into a battleground and forming a defensive posture.
Faced with the siege of the five tribes, all they need to do now is defend themselves.
As long as we persevere until the Lord of the Void Abyss and the Lord of the Heavenly Ruins recover, until the Lord of the Primordial Beginning returns, and even until other invincible rulers break through and become the new supreme beings.
The intensity of the battlefield quickly escalated, with the figures of celestial deities frequently appearing on the battlefield, and titled, venerable, and top-tier deities all taking action.
Jiang Tao and Jiang Miaoyin were among them.
During the war, various high-tech weapons were also unleashed, all prepared for this moment.
After the battle began, countless martial artists at the first, second, third, and fourth realms of the universe perished.
Even the gods were not spared.
Every day, a large number of martial artists are dying, at a rate several times faster than before.
Soon, even supreme and top-tier deities joined the battle.
The intensity is even increasing, with the alien alliance directly breaking the unspoken rules and allowing the Overlord to take the field.
The Human Alliance has also made arrangements for the Overlord.
Furthermore, all the rulers—ordinary rulers, top-tier rulers, peak rulers, and invincible rulers—made their moves.
The intensity was directly increased, and several invincible rulers made their moves at the same time. Each of them had been in seclusion for tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of years, preparing to break through and become the supreme ruler.
They caught the alien alliance off guard.
A large number of rulers perished, and at the same time, the supreme beings of the alien races also made their move.
Meanwhile, the three most powerful supreme beings—the Lord of Deep Space, the Lord of Immortality, and the Lord of Time and Space—who were already prepared, made their moves simultaneously, taking the lead.
A fierce battle ensued with the Supreme Alliance of the alien races, and countless meteorites and stars were obliterated on the entire battlefield.
The war lasted for several years.
The final outcome was the killing of the Xuanming Lord of the Celestial Clan.
The Five Races Alliance's commander-in-chief, Lord Xuyuan, was caught off guard by the three strongest supreme beings of the human race.
In particular, the Spear of Destruction wielded by the Master of the Deep Space Academy is one of the most destructive treasures among all the treasures.
He successfully killed the Lord of Void.
The opponent is not considered weak among the supreme beings; in fact, he is on the same level as the Lord of Time and Space and the Lord of Immortality.
Now that he has fallen, he immediately intimidated the supreme beings of the other five races, creating a tremendous deterrent effect.
As a result, none of the supreme beings were willing to exert their full strength, fearing that the Lord of the Deep Space Academy might suddenly unleash his power and use the supreme treasure, the Spear of Destruction, to kill them.
Compared to destroying humanity, their lives are clearly more important.
Thus, a stalemate was formed with the supreme beings of their human race. Occasionally, they would exchange blows, but only to a limited extent, without ever truly engaging in combat.
The strongest ancient sovereigns of the five races are either asleep or hunting down the Primordial Lord.
At the highest levels on the battlefield, most are at the same level, and even a new commander-in-chief cannot win over the masses, resulting in each supreme leader having their own ideas.
Finally, they adopted the strategy of "boiling the frog in lukewarm water," forcing the celestial deities under their command to intervene.
By continuously escalating the intensity of war, more and more celestial deities and rulers have fallen.
Slowly weaken the supreme power.
Once their strength weakens, they will pounce on them like wolves and devour the Deep Space Academy Master and the others.
So now it's all about time.
Lin Qi cultivated in the Primordial Holy Land, and from time to time he heard about the situation on the battlefield from Xiaotian and other people.
Most importantly, the teachers in the Deep Space Institute's small group also frequently report on the latest situation.
The human race is currently racing against time.
The Lord of the Void Abyss and the Lord of the Heavenly Ruins need time to recover, and the other invincible rulers also need time to break through.
It is said that the teachers, the Master of the Deep Space Academy, and even the Primordial Lord, obtained a lot of rare resources in the Abyss Labyrinth, which can help the Invincible Overlord break through.
In particular, breakthroughs in the soul and will.
This is the biggest bottleneck between ruler and supreme.
Humanity has many invincible rulers, but they are all stuck at this step.
If they could use rare and precious materials to break through the limitations of their soul and will, a new supreme being would be born among their human race.
Therefore, on this battlefield, a group of invincible overlords made their move once and then returned.
He quietly went into seclusion to cultivate and strive to break through to the highest level.
Time passed slowly, and Lin Qi silently comprehended the Law of Fire.
The first true meaning, the second true meaning, the third true meaning, the fourth true meaning...
Unbeknownst to him, he had already grasped the fifth true meaning.
In the 3th year since the start of the total war, he successfully comprehended the Law of Fire.
He was already quite adept at dealing with the impact of the cosmic will, and quickly gained recognition, mastering the complete laws of fire.
The number of laws mastered has reached five.
After mastering the Law of Fire, Lin Qi could clearly feel that his strength had increased significantly.
Although the transformation brought about by mastering the laws of time was not significant.
But he felt a sense of surprise.
On the high platform of the Court of Derivation, a wondrous object of chaos, the Five-Colored Chaos Stone.
A tall, handsome figure dressed in a black robe sat cross-legged on the high platform.
He was Lin Qi, and five-colored secret patterns appeared on his body.
The patterns of the five laws emerged, especially the crimson cosmic power that surrounded him, slowly merging with the power of destruction, making the crimson even clearer.
The air became scorching hot, and the entire power of destruction underwent another transformation.
Lin Qi felt the Law of Fire merging into his body, and every cell seemed to be burning, radiating high temperature. He had a desire to burn everything to ashes.
His power increased dramatically once again.
[You have passed the test of the universe's will and successfully mastered the Law of Fire. Template fusion rate +1%]
[Template: Erlang Shen - Yang Jian]
[Integration rate: 90% → 91%]
……
A message popped up on the panel, indicating that his template integration accuracy had increased to 91%.
For each rule mastered, the fusion rate can be increased by 1%.
So once he masters all the laws, that's 96% integration.
So, to increase the fusion rate to 100%
One needs to break through to become the supreme being. Even after reaching that level, it's uncertain whether the transformation and awakening will significantly improve one's abilities.
However, it's pointless to discuss these things now.
He is now practically the strongest among the invincible overlords.
However, he is not strong enough yet. He needs the ability to annihilate the supreme beings, the power to help humanity turn the tide of battle.
Actually, he was somewhat looking forward to 100% fusion, because he felt that this would satisfy a certain condition and give him the power to control the golden remnant banner.
He already had a vague guess in his mind.
If the Golden Banner is indeed the mythical artifact he suspects it to be, once he gains control of it, his combat power will instantly surge, potentially surpassing even the Primordial Lord.
He left the Yanfa Court and returned to Tianhai Residence.
Turn on your smart device and relax for a bit.
He quickly browsed the battlefield section of the Holy Land's official website, which contained various information about the battlefield.
He quickly made a video call, projecting a large blue screen.
Xiaotian's cold and stern face appeared on the other side.
"Master, have you finished your cultivation?"
Lin Qi nodded and said, "Not bad, you've made a breakthrough in your understanding of the laws. Take a break."
After listening, Xiaotian exclaimed, "As expected of the master, truly amazing!" Then he began to recount the situation on the battlefield.
The battlefield was divided into very large areas, but this was not a problem for the Overlords, as they possessed wormhole teleportation technology and could easily teleport to any part of the battlefield.
Therefore, the alien races also understood that there was no benefit in being scattered, so the star gods and rulers of the two alliances all gathered on one battlefield.
That is, the main battlefield, where the most star gods and rulers gather.
There was even a supreme standoff, a situation never seen before.
“Master, we launched a full-scale attack at the beginning, with a large number of invincible overlords clearing the way.”
"The two of us, the Crimson Yama Overlord and I, were also among them, and we both have a record of killing alien overlords."
"Some gods were unlucky and were caught in the crossfire of our attack, and were killed and perished."
"I have to say, fighting against the Overlord is really exhilarating, but occasionally you can get caught in the crossfire of the top Overlord's moves."
"There are also soul attacks, which are impossible to defend against."
"If it weren't for the precious soul treasure you gave me, I might have already perished."
"Of course, it would be great if I had a powerful armor, which would greatly improve my safety."
"Unfortunately, there are too many powerful figures on both sides of the battlefield now. Even if you kill your opponent, other rulers will take back their treasures."
"Obtaining a treasure is extremely difficult."
"I need to continue cultivating. In another 20,000 years, I can switch shifts and return to the holy land for secluded cultivation."
Lin Qi listened quietly to Xiaotian's ramblings and also learned about the situation on the battlefield from him.
On the battlefield now, the human race has stabilized the situation.
However, this is only temporary, as they are still lacking in high-level combat power when facing the siege of the Five Races Alliance at its peak.
The only good news is that the five tribes are not united, their hearts are not aligned, and they have not exerted their true power.
As long as the Supreme Being can hold on for now, their situation will continue to decline over time.
After all, the teacher, the head of the Deep Space Academy, has not fully recovered from his injuries yet.
If it were necessary to revive the Overlord, their injuries would most likely worsen.
Lynch then chatted with his other friends.
They are all still alive, and some have even acquired a considerable amount of spoils.
However, many people from galactic civilizations also perished in the war.
Many of them were not gods; when they fell, they truly died.
And there are quite a few like that.
There are even descendants of the Lin family.
The battlefield is a meat grinder, and for martial artists below the level of Star God, there is absolutely no room for error.
Moreover, the Supreme Being will not resurrect them unless someone is willing to pay a huge price.
And people like them would be cannon fodder on the battlefield.
However, as long as you survive, you can gain a lot of contribution points.
If you want to defy fate, you have to kill more alien races.
Humanity is facing a crisis of extinction and has begun to enforce conscription in many civilizations, so there is still a steady stream of warriors serving.
Their galactic civilization is the same.
Such wars also inflict enormous damage on the entire civilization.
Such wars will never stop.
If their human race were stronger, perhaps fewer warriors would have perished.
However, his most important task now is to continue observing the laws.
One hundred years later, having incorporated the Law of Fire into his gunplay and movement techniques, Lin Qi returned to the Yanfa Academy.
On the high platform, he gazed at the enormous object before him.
This is a five-colored boulder with a rough exterior, but every part of it is covered with secret patterns of five colors.
The power of the five laws was released from the boulder and flowed together perfectly.
Being able to observe five laws simultaneously, or even just observe the fusion of these laws, can help Lin Qi advance further in his cultivation.
Lin Qi has now mastered the laws of metal and fire, and his next goal is the law of wood.
This is what Senior Brother Kongming Dominator is best at.
The opponent has now collected all three powerful treasures, making him even stronger and officially entering the ranks of the peak rulers.
In the span of 30,000 years, they have successfully killed three rulers of alien races, achieving numerous military exploits.
You can choose to return and go into seclusion 50,000 years later, but Senior Brother Kongming probably won't choose to return because even if he goes into seclusion, his improvement won't be significant.
It would be better to stay on the battlefield and kill a few more alien rulers.
The Sovereign of Kongming specializes in the Law of Wood, and his body exudes a rich vitality.
The contents of "Kongming" came to Lin Qi's mind.
This is a secret technique created by the Sovereign of Kongming, in which he recorded his understanding of the laws of wood.
As Lin Qi tried to comprehend the Law of Wood, he felt his mind growing increasingly heavy.
The fog in my mind is getting heavier and heavier.
There was an invisible pressure that prevented him from easily comprehending the laws of wood.
The difficulty of understanding this has increased to another level.
If he, with the greatest comprehension among all races in the universe, spent 30,000 years to comprehend the Law of Fire, then it would take twice as long to comprehend the Law of Wood.
He then retrieved a large quantity of medicine from the source core—a rare and precious treasure—that could temporarily enhance his affinity for the Law of Wood and reduce the difficulty of comprehending it.
The contribution points required are not many, but if it requires continuous consumption, only the Invincible Overlord can afford it.
After all, other rulers are not like him; they all need millions of years to comprehend a single law.
However, they have long lifespans and don't necessarily need rare and precious materials; they simply rely on their lifespan to slowly endure the hardships.
Lynch had the same idea.
But the situation is different now.
He couldn't afford to cultivate slowly; he had to become stronger in the shortest amount of time, comprehend more profound mysteries, and integrate them into the ultimate techniques.
When things got to the most dangerous point, he had no choice but to take action.
With the power of the Heavenly Eye, it is enough to kill a Supreme Being, and it might even help relieve the pressure on the human race.
With that in mind, he quickly immersed himself in comprehending the Law of Wood.
Having consumed the corresponding rare and precious herbs, his affinity for the Law of Wood increased, much like the haze in his mind was dispelled.
This took him seven days to master the Law of Wood, twice as long as the Law of Fire.
Just as he had guessed, it would take at least 6 years to fully comprehend the Law of Wood.
It's unknown what the situation will be like for the human race at that time.
After a moment's thought, he cleared his mind of the distracting thoughts.
……
Time passed slowly, and 20,000 years went by.
Many rulers began to change hands and return to their respective powers.
Among them, the Star Gods change their ranks every ten thousand years, and the Rulers change their ranks every fifty thousand years.
Fifty thousand years is enough time for many things to happen.
First, the human race began to lose ground and had to continue to shrink its defenses, while a large number of celestial gods and even overlords perished in the process.
Meanwhile, other races from the Human Alliance also came to help.
As members of the alliance, they also need to contribute when humanity is in danger.
Not only will it require the dispatch of celestial deities and rulers, but even the supreme beings will need to intervene.
However, other powerful races do not have many supreme beings, at most only one or two.
There aren't many supreme beings who can help, and they certainly wouldn't go all out.
However, it's sufficient for the human race.
It was able to withstand the alliance of the five races.
……
At the same time, all the life-bearing planets in the Tanai Starfield migrated to other starfields.
The entire star-scale combat field is currently located in a giant mechanical base that is even larger than a planet.
In a spacious, secluded chamber, two supreme beings are conversing.
One of the men was an elderly man with white hair and a weathered face, wearing a long white robe.
The other person wore a chaotic-colored robe, had a handsome face, and heterochromatic eyes.
The two were none other than the Lord of the Deep Space Academy and the Lord of Immortality.
They sat in specially designed metal chairs, savoring their wine.
The ancient, aged-looking being slowly spoke:
"Deep Space, the situation is now very unfavorable for us."
"The Lord of Time and Space and the others have gone back to recover. They need to resurrect the fallen gods and rulers."
"This resurrection will also have a significant backlash against them, further weakening their strength."
“In the recent battle with several supreme beings from other races, I clearly felt that they were constantly testing and wearing down our strength.”
"Right now, it's just the two of us holding on, and our injuries just won't heal."
"We can't hold out for much longer."
The head of the Deep Space Academy nodded in agreement. Although they were drinking, it was not ordinary wine, but wine made from a large amount of rare and precious materials.
It has the effect of restoring the damage to the body, but even such a precious wine cannot cure them completely.
The damage they suffered will not be easy to recover from, especially the erosion caused by the power of the Great Dao, which will take time to heal.
Ordinary attacks simply cannot break through their defenses.
The head of the Deep Space Academy said calmly:
"I can hold on for a while longer, but not too long."
"If we continue fighting like this, we will all be weakened, and the probability of us dying will increase significantly."
"The current situation no longer supports the fall of another supreme being."
"To change the situation, a new supreme being must be born!"
"The Eternal Soul Water we brought back from the Abyss Labyrinth might be able to help some of our seniors successfully break through their souls and become supreme beings."
"As long as one person makes a breakthrough, we've all gained something."
The Immortal Lord nodded and said, "I think it's very likely."
"But the birth of a supreme being is not enough; the risk of falling is also extremely high."
"We will still get weaker over time."
"Therefore, it would be best to join forces with the Dragon Clan and the Crystal Clan."
"Only in this way can our human race overcome this crisis of extinction."
Upon hearing this, the Master of the Deep Space Academy, clad in a robe of chaotic hues, put down his wine cup, frowned, and said:
"Join forces with the Dragon Clan and the Crystal Clan?"
"This is too difficult!"
