Chapter 1358 - 28: Breaking the Time Loop

...

"Only two months left until my lifespan limit."

"I have to use that method."

Lin Yuan withdrew his gaze from the dark blue deep sea.

Twenty years ago, Lin Yuan had searched almost the entire land, yet still could not find the position of the Da Feng Emperor. He had speculated that perhaps the Emperor wasn’t hiding on land at all.

Searching the deep sea wasn’t realistic either. Even if he started over, with a full hundred and fifty years, it was far from possible to explore every part of the deep sea.

Back then, Lin Yuan was already contemplating other ways.

To comprehend the endless deep sea, or the entire world, in a short time.

It’s not impossible, but it requires incredibly powerful spiritual power.

As long as one’s spiritual power is strong enough, in a single thought, it can envelop the entire world.

But this is almost impossible to achieve.

Spiritual power needs to be nurtured by a physical body, and given this world’s suppression on the flesh, it’s impossible to generate that level of spiritual power.

This is due to the limitations of the world, or rather, the limitations of the supreme rules.

Lin Yuan couldn’t break them.

However.

Lin Yuan couldn’t enhance his physical body.

But he could replace his physical body.

If Lin Yuan’s flesh wasn’t this current body of flesh and blood, but this world...

At Lin Yuan’s level, the view of the physical body as a vessel had long surpassed being confined to flesh and blood.

All things in the world can become spiritual, and the body can be all sorts of bizarre forms, with the world itself being a kind of body.

Lin Yuan simply needed to replace the world’s consciousness with his own spiritual will.

However.

Replacing the world consciousness is extremely dangerous.

Especially in this world with extremely strict rules, Lin Yuan’s spiritual will could very likely be counterattacked by the world consciousness and be utterly obliterated during the replacement.

Even if successful in the end, it wouldn’t last long.

But Lin Yuan didn’t need it to last long, just a single breath would suffice.

With Lin Yuan’s level, as long as he completely replaces the world consciousness, his spiritual power will rise without limit, reaching a level easily covering every part of the world.

Then, as long as the Da Feng Emperor remains in this world, he can be easily targeted.

By relying on the massively increased spiritual power after replacing the world, even with the isolation of the Original Divine Gold, it can forcibly pierce through to kill him.

"Let’s do it this way."

Lin Yuan had made a decision in his heart.

If the final replacement fails, he’ll directly utilize the World-Breaking Origin Force to kill him.

With the strength of Lin Yuan’s spiritual power, even if the replacement fails and suffers the world consciousness’s backlash.

He can still hold on for a few moments, enough to activate the World-Breaking Origin Force to ’clear the level’.

Of course.

Lin Yuan hopes to succeed in replacing the world consciousness.

Not only to save four million World-Breaking Origin Force.

But also to account for the past hundred and fifty years.

If he has to rely on the World-Breaking Origin Force to break through the time cycle in the end, why didn’t he use it as soon as he descended?

"Find for the last two months."

Lin Yuan didn’t plan to immediately replace the world consciousness.

Whether successful or failed in replacing the world consciousness, he certainly wouldn’t survive.

It should naturally be reserved for the last moment.

As for now?

He can still try to continue searching.

Although the chances are slim.

He has to try.

...

Time passed.

In the blink of an eye, two months had gone by.

Lin Yuan sat cross-legged atop a mountain peak.

He could clearly feel that his physical body was infinitely nearing its limit.

In one more hour, he would completely die of old age.

"It’s time!"

Lin Yuan took a deep breath, his spiritual power suddenly ignited.

After igniting, his spiritual power soared infinitely, vaguely piercing through the clouds, reaching above the sky.

Losing the control of the spiritual conscious, Lin Yuan’s body was aging at a visible pace.

Previously, Lin Yuan was able to maintain a youthful appearance due to his powerful spiritual power control.

Now, with all spiritual power leaving the body, the latter naturally couldn’t sustain its previous state.

Rumble.

As Lin Yuan’s spiritual power continuously rose, merging deeply into the world.

The originally slow-operating world consciousness began to gradually awaken.

"Replacing the heart of Heaven with one’s own."

Lin Yuan’s vast spiritual power continuously intertwined and operated, numerous runes emerged, merging toward the world consciousness.

Regarding the replacement of world consciousness, Lin Yuan had already experienced it during his earliest few traversals, when he descended into Tianqing World in the Boundless Void.

He had considerable experience.

Buzz buzz buzz ~ Lin Yuan’s spiritual power continuously merged into the world consciousness, the latter fiercely struggled, but still couldn’t resist.

Lin Yuan’s replacement of the world consciousness was too sudden, the world consciousness had no preparation at all, coupled with burning all spiritual power in a desperate attempt, resulting in a great enhancement.

Finally, at a certain moment.

Lin Yuan’s spiritual power completely replaced the world consciousness.

"This is..."

After replacing the world consciousness, Lin Yuan’s spiritual power began to increase boundlessly.

Since descending into this world, compared to his original body, Lin Yuan’s spiritual power was exceedingly weak.

But this was due to the limitations of the physical body, the feeble physical body simply couldn’t endure overly powerful spiritual power.

Now that Lin Yuan’s body is replaced with this world, the strength of a world certainly far exceeds that of an individual body. Even if it still falls short of the true power of Lin Yuan’s body outside, it can still to some extent unleash the might of true spiritual power.

Whish ~ With the support of the entire world, Lin Yuan’s spiritual power surged without limit, sweeping across the entire world effortlessly.

The Central Plains, ninety-nine provinces, numerous small countries, tribes, and all were under Lin Yuan’s spiritual power.

In the past, Lin Yuan spent eighty years to survey these regions, but now it happened in an instant.

Whoosh!

The terrifying spiritual power continued to spread, covering toward the endless deep sea.

Quickly.

The endless deep sea was also under Lin Yuan’s control.

Within the deep sea, massive sea beasts seemed to sense something. After being swept by the spiritual power, they became terrified, trembling.

"There it is..."

Lin Yuan gazed toward a certain spot on the ocean floor of the endless deep sea, the deepest part nearly untouched by any signs of life.

At this moment, at the bottom of this deep sea, a pitch-black coffin lay there.

Rumble~

The terrifying spiritual power swept over, Original Divine Gold isolating everything, but it couldn’t block the spiritual power after taking the world as a body, the invisible force swept through, soon penetrating the Original Divine Gold, covering the figure lying inside.

"What is this?"

The Da Feng Emperor, who had been sleeping, seemed to sense something and abruptly opened his eyes.

"Die!"

Without any hesitation, Lin Yuan prompted spiritual power to utterly obliterate the Da Feng Emperor within the coffin.

At the moment of the Da Feng Emperor’s death.

The whole world fell into a certain stagnation.

Lin Yuan pondered, his spiritual will returning to his body.

Now his physical body was already extremely aged, but it wasn’t dead yet, with less than an hour to his lifespan limit.

Lin Yuan stood up, looking at the world around him.

From the edge of the world, everything material began to collapse and disintegrate.

As if everything was like an illusion that would ultimately dissipate completely.

"I broke through the time cycle."

Lin Yuan looked up to the sky.

In the depths of his mind, he already knew that he had passed the test of the time cycle.
