Chapter 1026: Chapter 30: New Home, New Era (End of this volume, request for monthly passes)

“They’re fleeing?”

Lin Yuan gazed into the distance.

The black ship and the Suspended Island were darting through the Void, exuding an air of frantic escape.

“These insignificant beings, are they plunderers stationed outside the universe?”

Lin Yuan’s thoughts moved with incredible speed, immediately deducing their origins.

Guarding outside the universe for no apparent reason, only to panic and flee upon seeing him emerge—what else could they be but plunderers?

“Return.”

Lin Yuan’s mind stirred slightly; the Divine Ability ‘World’ began its operation.

In an instant, two million light-years in radius, centered on Lin Yuan, transformed entirely into an external cosmos.

…

Aboard the black ship, Bloodshade Sovereign only began to relax after they had traveled more than ten million light-years away.

“We’ve survived.” A faint smile appeared on Bloodshade Sovereign’s face. He glanced behind him, and even at such an extensive distance, he could vaguely see that towering figure.

“At this range, even if he wanted to pursue, it’d be too late.”

Bloodshade Sovereign had yet to finish his thought.

Suddenly, from every direction, an entirely new spacetime descended.

In this fleeting moment.

Bloodshade Sovereign vaguely heard a voice by his ear.

“Return.”

…

When Bloodshade Sovereign regained consciousness, he was already back within the familiar Void, precisely the spot outside the universe he’d been guarding moments ago.

“Damn it.”

Bloodshade Sovereign’s spirits instantly sank to rock bottom. He swept his gaze around and shockingly discovered that Serpent Demon Sovereign was likewise nearby.

Both sovereign-level powerhouses had escaped in completely opposite directions, only to be transported back nearly simultaneously. Such a feat, Bloodshade Sovereign had only witnessed among certain Venerables.

Except… a Venerable?

No matter how inconceivable it seemed, Bloodshade Sovereign couldn’t help but associate the towering giant with a Chaos Venerable, even though this immense figure had emerged from within the universe—a place theoretically capable of producing figures at most peak Path Splitting Realm.

“Bloodshade…”

Not far away, Serpent Demon Sovereign’s face was etched with fear, clearly realizing something as well.

“Were the two of you intending to plunder me?” Just then, a voice sounded nearby.

Serpent Demon Sovereign and Bloodshade Sovereign abruptly looked over, spotting a figure standing not far away. This figure’s aura was invisible, leaving the two utterly incapable of detecting it until now.

“Master!”

Bloodshade Sovereign immediately reacted and addressed Lin Yuan respectfully, “I was merely passing by here, with absolutely no intention of plundering.”

“Me too,” Serpent Demon Sovereign quickly added.

By now, how could they not understand that the figure nearby was precisely the towering giant who had just emerged from within the universe?

In the Chaos Void, survival is the rule of the strong, and neither Bloodshade Sovereign nor Serpent Demon Sovereign could indulge their doubts and confusion when faced with a being like Lin Yuan, capable of crushing them effortlessly. Respect was instinctive.

“Passing through?”

“No intention of plundering?”

Lin Yuan said indifferently, clearly disbelieving their claims. The Chaos Void was boundless. Two sovereign-level powerhouses conveniently stationed outside a universe on the verge of destruction—passing through?

“Look at me.”

Lin Yuan directed his gaze at Serpent Demon Sovereign and Bloodshade Sovereign.

The two sovereigns followed Lin Yuan’s voice and looked up, only to meet a pair of incomparably profound eyes, seemingly connecting to an endless abyss.

Mind Will Secret Skills—Abyssal Eye.

Hum, hum, hum.

Bloodshade Sovereign and Serpent Demon Sovereign’s minds and wills were struck, beginning to uncontrollably fall into descent.

With Lin Yuan’s strength, he could have outright pulverized the two sovereigns the moment he activated the Divine Ability ‘World.’

But he ultimately chose capture instead and had been aiming precisely for this moment.

Using the Mind Will Secret Skills “Abyssal Eye,” he drove their minds into descent before seizing the opportunity to initiate Soul Search on the two sovereigns.

This was the simplest method. Direct Soul Search was far too challenging, as sovereigns were no fools—they’d resist furiously, and even if unsuccessful, they’d unhesitatingly self-detonate their physical forms.

They’d then rely on pre-arranged resurrection techniques to come back to life.

To any level of powerhouse, memory was the most sacred realm. Unless utterly desperate, no warrior would willingly allow someone to perform Soul Search.

“No—” Bloodshade Sovereign’s pupils suddenly turned crimson, his physical strength beginning to surge abnormally, managing to narrowly break free from Lin Yuan’s suppression and dart madly in the opposite direction.

“Disrupted my Soul Search?”

Lin Yuan inwardly sighed. He was, after all, still a Path Splitting Realm being. Even though many of his techniques had reached Chaos Realm levels, attempting to perform Soul Search on a sovereign at peak level?

It proved somewhat difficult.

“Forget it.”

Lin Yuan opted against continued efforts, instead extending his right hand. Across hundreds of light-years, he struck Bloodshade Sovereign remotely.

In one slap, Lin Yuan employed the full force of his physical capabilities and the power of his internal cosmos. The might far exceeded peak sovereign levels. Bloodshade Sovereign’s body erupted in countless flashes of crimson light, holding out for only an instant before completely shattering—his body and soul extinguished simultaneously.

Crash.

Beside him, Serpent Demon Sovereign had likewise barely regained consciousness, fleeing frantically in the opposite direction. No matter how daunting Lin Yuan might appear, he was unwilling to risk Soul Search.

The ability to perform Soul Search meant memories could be altered or tampered with—a fearsome technique every powerhouse remained deeply wary of.

Smack.

Lin Yuan struck again, and Serpent Demon Sovereign’s body and soul likewise began to dissipate.

The bodies and souls of both sovereigns dissolved over several breaths, transforming into the purest Origin Power, which Lin Yuan condensed and stored away.

“Master, spare us!”

From the black ship and the Suspended Island came cries for mercy—Bloodshade Sovereign’s and Serpent Demon Sovereign’s subordinates pleading desperately.
