In a certain region of the vast dinsional rift—
A terrifying rift stretched across space, its destination unknown. Every mont, it released an eerie aura that eroded the surrounding dinsional gap, like the gaping maw of an abyss, devouring all it could.
Far from the rift, clusters of dinsional spaces drifted. Yet, under the rift’s constant pull, these dinsions were slowly inching toward it.
It was clear that once they got close enough, they’d be completely devoured.
“I’ve arrived.”
Lin Yuan’s figure appeared nearby, gazing from afar at that devouring, world-swallowing rift.
“So the final tribulation of my 3.602 billion tribulations in phase one is to seal this rift completely?”
He thought to himself.
Ever since he reached the Third Realm and beca a Ti Lord ten thousand years ago—
Lin Yuan had poured most of his focus into the path of Endless Tribulations.
The path of Infinite Origin was too vague—no one knew where the source of ti lay. Perfect Ti-Life relied too heavily on fate, and Lin Yuan didn’t like gambling his life.
After much consideration, only Endless Tribulations among the three paths seed reliable.
Even if it held great danger, that was only near the end of the path.
The early and mid stages were relatively safe, and every tribulation granted real, tangible power.
This was the feedback of the Infinite Dinsional Multiverse itself. Even for soone as powerful as Lin Yuan, while a single tribulation—or ten or a hundred—might seem insignificant...
After tens of thousands, millions, or billions of tribulations, the cumulative effect was substantial.
Once Lin Yuan had confird his path, and understood the difficulty level of the trials ahead through the first few dozen tribulations—
He started to accelerate, opening dozens or even hundreds of tribulations at once.
Then sent out incarnations to complete them.
This was how Lin Yuan had managed to complete 3.602 billion tribulations in just ten thousand years.
Otherwise, if he faced them one by one, forget ten thousand years—he wouldn’t be done even after millions or billions of years.
Of course—
Only Lin Yuan dared to undertake so many tribulations at once.
First, his strength was overwhelming—tribulations from the first phase of Endless Tribulations posed no challenge to him.
Second, he had boundary-breaking source energy as a safety net. If he ever encountered sothing truly difficult, he could brute-force his way through.
And in fact, over the past ten thousand years and 3.602 billion tribulations, Lin Yuan had never once used his boundary-breaking source energy.
He passed all of them with his own strength.
“Tribulations from the second phase will require more caution.”
As he observed the terrifying rift ahead, Lin Yuan was already planning ahead.
Tribulations in the first phase were mostly about achieving certain goals, which was why he dared to tackle many at once.
But second-phase tribulations? There was a small chance they could drag Lin Yuan’s consciousness into a unique world—a kind of spiritual trial—where he’d have to complete a challenge in that space.
Similar to the ti loop worlds required to beco a ti-lifeform.
If he encountered one of those, he might not be able to split his attention across multiple tribulations.
“My current strength…”
He felt the vast power within him, imnse as dinsional realms themselves. A smile surfaced on his face.
The accumulated gains from 3.602 billion tribulations were indeed impressive.
Combined with his own cultivation, the founding of the fourth of the Innate Five Tai—Tai Su—and further exploration of the Source World…
His strength had skyrocketed. Compared to ten thousand years ago, he was exponentially more powerful.
“I wonder how I’d fare against a Legendary Lord who’s passed three hundred million tribulations?”
He was curious.
Ten thousand years ago, the Violet-Light Legendary Lord could still exchange a few blows with him.
But now? The Purple Light Lord was no longer a match. With his illusory true body, Lin Yuan had an innate advantage, and just the ripple of any random attack could severely injure—or even kill—him.
“Too bad I haven’t had the chance to spar with a true three-hundred-million-tribulation Legendary Lord.”
He shook his head slightly, sowhat regretful.
Despite his terrifying strength, Lin Yuan hadn’t lived long enough.
He’d yet to et a single Legendary Lord who’d truly completed three hundred million tribulations.
At that level, one was nearly at the end of the path of transcendence. The Lord of Return to Ruin had been in that realm.
Such Legendary Lords often slumbered for entire Great Extinction Cycles, and their locations defied spatial definitions—often drifting through ancient pasts or distant futures.
Unless so world-shaking event occurred in the present tiline, they wouldn’t return.
“But… the fifth Tai…”
In the depths of Lin Yuan’s eyes, four intertwining forces flickered—Tai Yi, Tai Chu, Tai Shi, and Tai Su.
The four Innate Tai energies were weaving together, trying to give birth to a fifth Tai.
“One step at a ti.”
“I have plenty of ti.”
He collected his thoughts and continued observing the terrifying rift.
“According to the pattern of how the Supre Dao of Rules assigns tribulations, the very existence of this rift violates the natural order of the Infinite Dinsional Multiverse,” Lin Yuan thought. “A source of all-devouring power—even dinsional realms aren’t exempt? Definitely an opposing force.”
If such a rift were left unchecked, and the Supre Dao of Rules didn’t intervene, the consequences could be catastrophic.
“A regular Ti Lord at the first stage would probably have to pay a massive price to seal this. Might even need to call for help. No wonder this counts as the final tribulation of phase one.”
Lin Yuan smiled faintly. “But for , it’s simple.”
After a brief period of observation, Lin Yuan had basically figured out the nature of the rift—ti to seal it.
Whoosh!
The next mont—
He appeared near the edge of the terrifying rift.
The powerful suction it emitted couldn’t shake Lin Yuan at all.
With his arrival—
Waves of will suddenly echoed from deep within the rift.
“If you don’t want to die, get lost,” the will said coldly and cruelly. “Before you, many like you ca to seal . I devoured them all.”
“Oh?”
Lin Yuan’s eyes flickered.
He wasn’t surprised that there was a will inside the rift.
But judging by what it said, other Lords had already attempted to seal it—and failed?
“So the first phase of Endless Tribulations isn’t guaranteed to be passable after all,” Lin Yuan mused.
While the 3.602 billion tribulations of phase one were generally survivable for cautious Lords, accidents could happen—so Lords did fail.
Those who tried to seal the rift and failed...
Their fate would be erasure by the will of the Supre Dao of Rules.
“So, do you want to be devoured too?” the rift’s will asked with amusent as Lin Yuan didn’t leave.
It was trying to lure Lin Yuan closer—devouring powerful lifeforms like him was a form of nourishnt.
“I don’t think you can devour .”
Lin Yuan took another step—he was now extrely close to the rift.
“Hahahaha, fool!”
The rift’s will laughed wildly. The surrounding suction force suddenly intensified, dragging space-ti toward the rift.
“Tai Yi,” Lin Yuan muttered.
A thread of Tai Yi energy erged, transforming into countless chains that surged toward the rift.
To end things quickly and not waste ti on this tribulation, Lin Yuan wasn’t holding back—he intended to seal it in one go.
Buzz—
The seemingly unremarkable Tai Yi energy expanded rapidly as it approached the rift, growing enormous, blotting out the sky as it coiled around the rift.
“Such terrifying thods… You’re the strongest of all who’ve tried to seal ,” the will said. “But just this won’t be enough.”
“Tai Chu,” Lin Yuan invoked again.
Tai Chu energy condensed, transforming into more chains and covering the rift.
Tai Yi and Tai Chu—the first two of the Innate Five Tai—ford two completely different types of chains that wrapped around the entire rift.
At Lin Yuan’s current level, even casually using these two forces was monstrously powerful. The suction pulling at the surrounding space was instantly neutralized.
Chi chi chi chi!!!
The Tai Yi and Tai Chu chains ford a prison, sealing the rift within and beginning the process of refining and sealing it.
Invisible energy filled the chain prison. Even the rift, when touching this energy, began to disintegrate.
“With this thod, at most you’ll—” The will initially wasn’t worried.
But before half a breath had passed—
A large part of the rift had already been annihilated.
“What is this power?!”
“No! You can’t seal —I can offer you a deal—”
The final word never ca.
There were no more willwaves.
Because the rift had been fully sealed, and the invisible energy had reached its depths, severely damaging the will itself.
“A deal? What could you possibly offer ?”
Lin Yuan was completely unmoved. After enduring 3.602 billion tribulations, he had a general understanding of entities like this will.
They were nothing more than “parasites” in the Infinite Dinsional Multiverse—flaws born of the Dao’s operation.
What could they offer that compared to the feedback from the infinite dinsions?
And going along with the will of the rift ant failing the tribulation—and being erased by the Supre Dao of Rules.
Lin Yuan knew exactly what to choose.
In the distant dinsional realms, the strong sensed their entire dinsion being drawn toward the rift—but they were powerless to stop it. Ti-lives below Rank 13 couldn’t even survive long outside their dinsions.
They had resigned themselves to watching their hos drift toward destruction.
But when Lin Yuan acted, they were stunned to see the rift they’d viewed as hopeless… vanish in an instant.
“Who was that great being who saved us?!”
Countless lives in the dinsional realms knelt in worship. They never saw who acted, but that didn’t stop their reverence.
“It’s over.”
In less than half a breath, the rift was gone.
The combined might of Tai Yi and Tai Chu had refined and destroyed it completely—no resistance at all.
Other Ti Lords might also be able to seal such a rift, but it would take them dozens or even hundreds of Great Extinction Cycles, struggling bit by bit with the will inside.
But Lin Yuan?
It was sheer dominance.
The next mont—
Boom—
Feedback from the Infinite Dinsional Multiverse surged into his body.
As the final tribulation of phase one, its difficulty far exceeded all previous ones—and so did the reward.
It took Lin Yuan dozens of breaths to fully absorb the feedback.
“Not bad.”
He nodded.
The power boost wasn’t imnse, but there were more tribulations ahead. Each one in phase two should provide feedback equal to or greater than this.
“Ti to return.”
Lin Yuan didn’t stay to examine anything further. Since even the Supre Dao of Rules had confird his success, there was no need.
“Hmm?”
“There’s more karma?”
He suddenly sensed sothing and looked toward the distant dinsional realms.
A thought was enough to reveal the source of the karma—
By sealing the rift, he’d saved those dinsional spaces from destruction. The countless beings inside, worshiping him, naturally created karmic ties.
Of course, this karma was one-sided—only Lin Yuan could sense it. The beings on the other end were unaware of his existence.
Chaos Void—
Lin Yuan sat cross-legged.
“Since phase one is done, it’s ti to begin phase two.”
He elevated his spiritual will and connected with the Supre Dao of Rules. Soon, he received the specific trial for his second phase.
“Simple enough.”
After scanning it, he saw it wasn’t difficult. He imdiately dispatched his Tai Chi Primordial Spirit to handle it.
Currently, the Tai Chi Primordial Spirit was no weaker than Lin Yuan’s true body. If split into Yin and Yang Primordial Spirits, it would be a bit weaker.
The Infinite Dinsional Multiverse was boundless.
Suddenly, strange ripples began to rise from deep within a certain ti-space.
They erged from nothing, yet carried supre authority—spreading in an instant, even perating the infinite dinsions.
“What’s going on?”
“What is this power?”
“It’s affecting the entire Infinite Dinsional Multiverse?!”
Ti Lords were stunned. Even so ancient, slumbering Legendary Lords were forced awake, incredulous at the mysterious energy that now engulfed the dinsional cosmos.
