Lin Yuan looked at the avatar before him.
Though the avatar shared the sa mind and will as his true body, its strength was far inferior. Why?
First, because only a small portion of his ntal will was invested in the avatar.
Second, the avatar’s body was casually ford, incapable of unleashing Lin Yuan’s true power.
In comparison, a clone was far stronger, as its physical form was carefully cultivated and powerful enough.
Whether in the Chaos Void, the First Source World, or the Second Source World, cultivators placed great importance on clones—especially battle-oriented ones.
Losing a battle clone ant wasting countless years of effort.
And now—
The avatar Lin Yuan had casually ford hadn't gone through any cultivation.
Yet, thanks to his mastery of the Tao of Runes, its power had undergone a qualitative transformation, reaching a level close to Abyss Dragon.
"Even just this avatar of mine should be comparable to the eternal children in the Second Source World, right?" Lin Yuan marveled.
What were the eternal children?
They were beings nurtured with full force by major Eternal sects, even gaining the personal attention of Eternal Lords before finally being brought into existence.
Their strength far surpassed the strongest Heavenly Sovereigns in the First Source World.
The Master of Wu Shan, using his own Path of Painting, had drawn three masterpieces. The power of the beings within the first two barely reached the threshold of Abyss Dragon.
And now Lin Yuan’s casually created avatar had already reached that level of power?
"My true body’s strength?"
Lin Yuan sensed the changes within himself.
His deepened understanding of the Tao of Runes allowed him to wield it far more flawlessly. If the Thirteenth-Rank inheritance Infinite Void rely enhanced his inner universe...
Then his current mastery of the Tao of Runes elevated every aspect of himself—not just his internal universe, but his physical body, soul, ntal will—everything.
"And this is just my initial insight into that inheritance."
Lin Yuan centered his thoughts. The inheritance created by the Lord of Heavenly Radiance focused primarily on the understanding of runes.
According to the Lord of Heavenly Radiance, the inheritance was divided into five levels. Upon grasping the fifth level, one could use rune power within the ti loop.
Right now, Lin Yuan had only fully understood the first level.
Of course, Heavenly Radiance had admitted that for most cultivators, reaching the fifth level was unrealistic—it was a level of insight akin to the Eternal Lords.
But even reaching the third or fourth levels was enough to help one break through the ti loop. The understanding of runes at that level, even if not directly usable, could still be partially leveraged.
"Unfortunately, even now, I’m still far from the strength of Thirteenth-Rank ti lifeforms."
Lin Yuan pondered. What made Thirteenth-Rank ti lifeforms truly powerful was their ability to glimpse future tilines.
Their decisions based on future possibilities outweighed raw power.
Even without that ability, Lin Yuan was no match for a Thirteenth-Rank lifeform.
"Take it step by step."
"With this inheritance, my chances of breaking the ti loop have increased significantly."
Lin Yuan was in good spirits. The Lord of Heavenly Radiance had thought it unrealistic for cultivators to reach the fifth level of the inheritance—
—but that applied to other cultivators.
Lin Yuan was not one of them.
With his Unrivaled Insight, if he truly put his mind to it...
Even if he couldn’t guarantee reaching the fifth level, his chances were still considerable.
Insight on par with Eternal Lords? Lin Yuan wasn’t incapable—it was just a matter of how much ti and effort he was willing to spend.
At the edge of the Chaos Void—
A rift connecting to the dinsion beyond.
A massive eye stared from afar.
It was the Eye of Ten Thousand Laws.
"This dinsional rift..." The Eye of Ten Thousand Laws studied it closely.
The Chaos Void wasn’t flawless. Even with countless ti lifeforms nding it, dinsional rifts would still appear along its borders.
These rifts connected to the interdinsional gaps—spaces outside any known dinsion.
These gaps were full of peril, but also brimming with opportunity.
This particular rift connected to a gap that contained a certain resource the Eye of Ten Thousand Laws needed.
To obtain it, the Eye of Ten Thousand Laws had called in favors and sent over ten Supre Saints.
Whoosh!
At that mont—
A figure condensed into a silver-robed elder.
"Senior Ten Thousand Laws."
The silver-robed elder was known as Supre Saint Fengzhu, a Supre Saint who had once received protection from the Pavilion of Ten Thousand Laws in his youth, owing the Eye of Ten Thousand Laws a favor.
"Well?" the Eye of Ten Thousand Laws asked, looking at Fengzhu.
"The native lifeforms outside that rift, on the small continent, are incredibly troubleso. Taking that Law-Source Fruit will be extrely difficult," Fengzhu said honestly.
The Law-Source Fruit was a rare dinsional treasure that drifted in the interdinsional gaps, absorbing fragnts of "law" from any dinsion it neared.
Thus, the fruit itself contained the core laws of multiple dinsions.
This treasure could greatly replenish the power of the Eye of Ten Thousand Laws.
Of course, such fruit usually grew near dinsional lifeforms.
These beings, born in the gaps between dinsions, were naturally powerful.
What’s more, outside the dinsion, even Supre Saints from the Chaos Void could only fight with limited strength.
They couldn’t rely on the power of the Chaos Void.
So, even though the Eye of Ten Thousand Laws had gathered over ten Supre Saints to retrieve the fruit—
—they were still t with fierce resistance.
"If you can retrieve the Law-Source Fruit, I will reward you handsoly," the Eye of Ten Thousand Laws said to Fengzhu.
"If Senior Ten Thousand Laws says so, I will do my utmost," Fengzhu nodded.
Having lived through countless cosmic eras, the rewards offered by the Eye of Ten Thousand Laws could tempt even Supre Saints.
Just then—
Buzz~
A faint ripple slowly spread from outside the dinsional rift.
The rift, which had been stabilized, began to shrink.
"This isn’t good."
"It’s a dinsional tide."
The Eye of Ten Thousand Laws’ expression changed slightly.
Dinsional rifts in the Chaos Void couldn’t remain open indefinitely.
They responded to external environntal changes—sotis stabilizing, sotis vanishing.
Now, a dinsional tide had arisen in the interdinsional gap, affecting the current rift, which was about to close completely.
"This is troubleso."
Fengzhu’s face darkened.
Once this rift closed and healed, it was uncertain when it might reopen again.
Ten thousand cosmic eras?
A hundred thousand?
Any of those were possible.
By then, Fengzhu might have already attempted a breakthrough to the Thirteenth Rank.
Compared to Fengzhu, the Eye of Ten Thousand Laws was just as anxious.
No matter how long the wait, the Eye of Ten Thousand Laws could endure.
But it couldn’t guarantee the Law-Source Fruit would still be there when the rift reopened.
The fruit drifted across dinsions. Miss this chance, and it might vanish forever.
"The rift, even if healing, will take ti—about three days before it completely closes."
The Eye of Ten Thousand Laws observed carefully, then looked to Fengzhu. "As long as the fruit is retrieved within three days, it’s enough."
"Three days?"
Fengzhu understood what the Eye of Ten Thousand Laws ant.
"Impossible."
He shook his head. "We’ve only explored the outskirts of that small continent. Just getting past the outer dinsional lifeforms is hard enough. To reach the core region, retrieve the Law-Source Fruit, and retreat safely in three days? I can’t do it."
Fengzhu spoke plainly.
It wasn’t about the cost.
It was simply impossible.
"I understand."
The Eye of Ten Thousand Laws fell silent for a while. He knew that retrieving the fruit within three days wasn’t reasonable.
"Law-Source Fruit..."
He looked again at the shrinking rift. It was visibly closing.
"Forget it."
He made up his mind.
In a desolate patch of void—
Lin Yuan’s true body sat cross-legged, drifting with the currents of chaotic energy.
Just then—
Power of space-ti gathered, forming a massive eye.
"The Eye of Ten Thousand Laws?"
Lin Yuan glanced at it and said casually, "What do you want?"
The two shared a deep karmic tie, so it wasn’t surprising that the Eye ca looking for him.
"Milky Way Great Saint."
The Eye of Ten Thousand Laws lowered its tone, unlike the way it spoke to Fengzhu.
"There’s sothing I need your help with."
"Speak."
Lin Yuan looked at the eye.
Monts later—
"You want to go outside that dinsional rift and retrieve the Law-Source Fruit?" Lin Yuan understood its intent.
"Yes."
"That fruit is extrely important to ."
The Eye of Ten Thousand Laws nodded.
Retrieving the fruit within three days was an impossible task for any Supre Saint.
After much thought, the Eye realized Lin Yuan was the only one who might succeed.
Not long ago, Lin Yuan had revealed his power and was recognized by beings like the Eye of Ten Thousand Laws as the strongest Invincible Supre Saint in history.
"You should think carefully."
Lin Yuan looked calmly at the Eye. "You once spread a martial evolution path for in exchange for a future favor."
"You’re sure you want to use that favor on this?"
The Eye of Ten Thousand Laws fell into deep thought again.
The most valuable use of that favor was to wait until Lin Yuan reached the Thirteenth Rank.
But who could say for sure that Lin Yuan would reach it? Many Invincible Supre Saints had appeared in history—very few ever beca ti lifeforms.
And this Law-Source Fruit was vital.
Miss it now, and it would be gone forever.
"Milky Way Great Saint, I’m sure."
The Eye finally answered seriously.
"Alright."
Lin Yuan nodded.
Then asked, "What’s the situation outside that dinsional rift?"
"It’s dangerous. Even a normal Invincible Supre Saint would struggle to retrieve the fruit in three days," the Eye answered honestly.
He didn’t dare conceal anything.
"Any Thirteenth-Rank presences?"
Lin Yuan rephrased his question.
"Thirteenth Rank?" The Eye of Ten Thousand Laws was startled.
"No."
He imdiately answered.
What a joke.
If a Thirteenth-Rank presence guarded the fruit, he wouldn’t even consider it.
Besides—
Any Thirteenth-Rank presence near the Chaos Void would imdiately attract the attention of the ti lifeforms within.
"Absolutely not."
The Eye assured Lin Yuan.
He thought Lin Yuan was worried he was being sent to his death.
"Got it."
Lin Yuan nodded. "I’ll send an avatar into the rift to retrieve the fruit for you."
"Thank you, Milky Way..."
The Eye was about to express gratitude—
Then froze.
An... an avatar?
"Milky Way Great Saint, that rift is extrely dangerous. Can just an avatar really handle it?" the Eye asked cautiously.
He deeply respected Lin Yuan’s strength.
Believed him to be the strongest Invincible Supre Saint in history.
But just one avatar?
"It’s enough." Lin Yuan gave the Eye a sideways glance.
Right now, even his avatar could fight at a level close to Abyss Dragon. All the Invincible Supre Saints in the Chaos Void combined probably couldn’t defeat one of his avatars.
And his true body was still observing everything.
Lin Yuan was quite curious—given his current strength, unless a Thirteenth-Rank ti lifeform appeared, who could possibly stop him?
Even in the mysterious interdinsional gaps—was there truly anyone who could match him?
