Chapter 673

The fate of the two Supreme Saints left countless powerhouses on the Milky Way Chaos Continent in confusion.

The nearby Venerables, who had been cautiously observing from the Void Domains, were just as stunned.

Supreme Saints personally arriving at the Milky Way Chaos Continent, shouting for the Milky Way Saint to come out and face them—though a bit arrogant—was still in line with their lofty status.

The Milky Way Saint’s strength was indeed terrifying, having swept through Chaos Great Saints without equal. But based on his performance in the Mysterious Emperor Universe, he still seemed a step short of a true Supreme Saint.

And yet now?

Because Lin Yuan made his move with the intent to establish his dominance, the scene of the two Supreme Saints being annihilated wasn’t obscured. Strong cultivators at the Dominance stage could see most of it, and even Venerables had a clear view.

Countless powerhouses watched helplessly as the two terrifyingly powerful Supreme Saints were utterly obliterated under the blazing radiance of the Milky Way Saint's Sunborn Genesis form.

There was no struggle.

No resistance.

They dissolved like snow under the sun, without the slightest suspense.

How was this possible?

Could Supreme Saints really be this weak?

Or was the Milky Way Saint simply too strong?

But no matter how strong he was, could he really reach the point of killing Supreme Saints like squashing ants?

Many Venerables felt this was absurd. The Supreme Saints, once held in awe as peerless rulers of the Chaos Void, were now revealed to be so fragile?

“Were those two really Supreme Saints?”

“They were. I’ve heard of their reputation.”

“Just how powerful is the Milky Way Saint?!”

After a brief silence, the crowd of powerhouses erupted into chaos.

At the same time, the scene of the Milky Way Saint crushing the two Supreme Saints quickly spread through the Venerables’ network.

Battles between Supreme Saints in the vast Chaos Void were already rare—much less one-sided massacres like this. Two Supreme Saints crushed without resistance?

In the largest city of the Milky Way Chaos Continent—

Xuanyuan, one of the nine Strongest Ones of human civilization, exchanged glances with the others.

“Milky Way’s strength…” Xuanyuan murmured as if in a dream. When the two Supreme Saints had arrived, he had been terrified, afraid Lin Yuan would suffer in front of them.

Who could have guessed the Supreme Saints would be so utterly powerless?

“Terrifying…”

The Void God Strongest One was still in disbelief. From the beginning, in their home universe, he had known of Lin Yuan’s terrifying talent.

And indeed, Lin Yuan had led all of human civilization through the Great Collapse, established a foothold in the Chaos Void, and now opened up the Milky Way Chaos Continent—making humanity the undisputed overlords of tens of thousands of nearby Void Domains.

But now? The way those two Supreme Saints had been erased like bubbles made the Void God Strongest One feel dazed.

They were Supreme Saints.

The apex powerhouses of countless universe eras in the Chaos Void.

And yet the Milky Way Saint destroyed them.

“Has Milky Way already stepped into Rank Thirteen?”

Yu Die, another Strongest One, couldn’t help but ask. Such an effortless kill of Supreme Saints, in her view, went beyond the capabilities of any Supreme Saint.

“Probably not yet.”

“To step into Rank Thirteen would definitely cause a heaven-shaking phenomenon.”

Xia Qin, another Strongest One, pondered and added, “Even so, Milky Way’s strength likely already surpasses Rank Twelve.”

The other Strongest Ones nodded in agreement, feeling both awe and excitement.

Lin Yuan was from human civilization. The stronger he became, the more humanity would benefit.

In a dark secret realm—

A bald man suddenly opened his real body’s eyes wide.

“This…”

He couldn’t believe it. His mind was replaying the moment when the Milky Way Saint transformed into the eternal blazing sun, illuminating all of creation—his heart trembling uncontrollably.

“So strong… too strong…”

He swallowed hard. Even when facing Rahu Saint, he had never felt such suffocating pressure.

Rahu was indeed powerful, especially after mastering that Rank Thirteen inheritance. But even then, the bald man had felt he could at least struggle and resist.

Against Lin Yuan, he hadn’t even had the thought of resisting.

“That Milky Way Saint…”

Just then, a thin figure descended as a projection, sitting in front of the bald man.

The two were close allies, otherwise they wouldn’t have served Rahu Saint together.

“How could such a powerful being exist in the Chaos Void?” the bald man asked the thin figure in disbelief.

“I don’t know either,” the thin figure shook his head, still bewildered.

“But the Milky Way Saint only destroyed our main battle bodies. He didn’t attack our other avatars. I think… we might be safe,” the thin figure exhaled slightly.

“Mm.”

The bald man nodded. Since the Milky Way Saint had instantly wiped out all of Nine Phoenix and Shadowfiend’s survival methods, he clearly excelled at karmic curse techniques. A being like that could easily lock onto all their karmic roots.

If he chose to hunt them down one by one, with his strength, they wouldn’t stand a chance.

Their only hope of survival would be to abandon everything and reincarnate together.

But even for Supreme Saints, reincarnation carried risks. If it failed, they would fall into endless cycles of rebirth—worse than being trapped in a time loop.

“So what do we do now? What about Rahu Saint?” the thin figure asked.

“Milky Way Saint is far too strong. I don’t think Rahu will blame us,” said the bald man. “But we should still meet him and explain in person.”

“True.”

The thin figure nodded.

They were only serving Rahu, not his slaves—they had the right to choose.

Even Invincible Supreme Saints wouldn’t easily force a Supreme Saint too harshly.

In a towering palace at the deepest point of time and space—

A gray misty figure sat atop the highest throne.

“Milky Way Saint?”

This was Rahu Saint. He was murmuring to himself, watching the scene outside the Milky Way Chaos Continent unfold.

The command token he had sent had been crushed, so his projection had descended and witnessed Lin Yuan’s strike.

“How many Rank Thirteen inheritances has he mastered?” Rahu Saint couldn’t believe it. Though it was just a glimpse, he sensed that during the destruction of his avatar, at least three or four types of Rank Thirteen power were involved.

For example, the omnipresent temporal suppression, and the blazing sun that was Milky Way Saint’s transformed form.

All bore power above Rank Twelve—clearly stemming from Rank Thirteen inheritances.

“Three or four types? And not only mastered, but perfectly fused?” Rahu Saint couldn’t understand.

Even mastering one Rank Thirteen inheritance made it harder to learn a second. Rank Thirteen power was beyond what Rank Twelve beings could withstand—how could one handle multiple?

Whoosh!

At that moment—

The bald man and the thin figure appeared inside the palace.

“Great Saint.”

They bowed slightly.

“No need to speak. I already know.”

Rahu Saint looked down at the two Supreme Saints. “That Milky Way Saint… you don’t need to concern yourselves with him anymore.”

“Yes.”

The two replied immediately. Even if Rahu had ordered them to deal with the Milky Way Saint, they would’ve refused. What a joke—fight him? That was suicide.

“Rahu Saint… just how powerful is he?” the bald man cautiously asked. They only knew Milky Way Saint was powerful, but not how powerful exactly.

Rahu’s strength far surpassed theirs, so he likely saw more clearly.

“He’s… very strong. Far beyond my ability to contend with,” Rahu Saint said after a moment of silence.

Though it was just a brief look through an avatar—and he hadn’t even glimpsed Milky Way Saint’s full power—Rahu clearly understood that he wasn’t a match.

Even though it was just a projection, they shared one soul. And in that moment, he felt as if the entire Chaos Void had collapsed upon him.

He had the distinct sense that, whether it was his avatar or his true body, the result would have been the same—completely obliterated under the light of the Sunborn Genesis.

“…”

Rahu’s frankness left the bald man and thin figure speechless.

They too had felt the difference in pressure between Rahu and the Milky Way Saint.

But Rahu’s straightforward admission shocked them further.

This meant the gap in strength wasn’t small—it was massive. So vast that Rahu didn’t even consider fighting back.

“From now on, you no longer need to follow me. Do whatever you wish.”

Rahu looked at the two Supreme Saints and sighed internally, then spoke.

He had originally planned to sweep through the Chaos Void and earn the title of Invincible Supreme Saint, so he had gathered followers to rule a vast swath of the void.

Every Invincible Supreme Saint built their own power base and had many followers.

But now?

Rahu knew his plan was no longer possible.

With the Milky Way Saint present, even if he reached the strength of a typical Invincible Supreme Saint, he could never be one—because he wasn’t Milky Way Saint’s match.

“Yes.”

The bald man and the thin figure exchanged glances, offering no objection.

As Supreme Saints, they had followed Rahu in hopes that he would become an Invincible Supreme Saint.

Now that hope was gone, they had no reason to continue following him.

Rahu watched them vanish.

Afterward, he summoned and dismissed several other Supreme Saints he had recruited. In the end, he completely sealed his palace.

“In the boundless Chaos Void, no matter how strong one becomes, it’s only temporary. Only by stepping into Rank Thirteen, becoming a time-being, can one gain true freedom.”

Rahu was calm. He was now ready to attempt the breakthrough to Rank Thirteen.

He had already reached the peak in all aspects—realm, strength, comprehension of Rank Thirteen power, and so on.

If not for wanting to leave a name in the Chaos Void as an Invincible Supreme Saint, he would have tried long ago.

In a twisted space-time—

Several special existences watched the distant Milky Way Chaos Continent.

“This Milky Way Saint isn’t just one of the top ten, top five, or top three Invincible Supreme Saints in Chaos Void history.”

The broken two-piece longblade emitted a thought. “He’s the strongest Invincible Supreme Saint. Even the earliest primordial beings born from Chaos Void itself couldn’t be his match.”

Its tone was filled with awe. From their close observation, they saw more of Lin Yuan’s depth. Though the killing of two Supreme Saints seemed casual, the level of power involved was staggering to them.

“The strongest Invincible Supreme Saint…”

The other special existences sighed in amazement. The primordial beings born with Chaos Void were products of its creation and held unimaginable power.

And yet even they couldn’t match Milky Way Saint?

Even these ancient beings found it unbelievable.

“How did he cultivate this way?”

The spirit of an ancient altar questioned—it defied all logic.

“Milky Way Saint…” the Eye of Ten Thousand Laws was filled with delight.

It had high hopes for Lin Yuan, but it hadn’t expected him to grow this powerful—the strongest Invincible Supreme Saint in Chaos Void history?

As time passed—

The battle outside the Milky Way Chaos Continent spread at an incredible pace.

Chaos Great Saints and even Supreme Saints saw the footage.

“So strong.”

“No match at all.”

“I’m not a match either.”

“How do we resist? Milky Way Saint probably didn’t even go all out in that fight.”

After watching the footage, many ancient Supreme Saints gave up even the idea of challenging him—they simply admitted defeat.

As Supreme Saints, they had a clear sense of power. If someone was just a bit stronger, they’d still put up a fight. But the gap between them and Milky Way Saint wasn’t “a bit”—it was vast.

“Milky Way Saint is this era’s Invincible Supreme Saint.”

“Indeed. A truly undisputed Invincible Supreme Saint.”

One Supreme Saint voiced this thought. Though not all agreed openly, none objected.

Who dared object?

And for Supreme Saints, silence was agreement.

In the depths of the Milky Way Chaos Continent—

Lin Yuan could also feel the ripple effect of his strike. He was now being publicly acknowledged as this era’s Invincible Supreme Saint.

“Invincible Supreme Saint?”

Lin Yuan had a strange expression. The Invincible Supreme Saints of Chaos Void history had all gone through countless brutal battles, forcing other Supreme Saints to submit before earning the title.

And yet he was being called one after a single move?

“But with my current strength, I doubt any spirit from any special realm would dare oppose me.”

Lin Yuan’s thoughts drifted, recalling the blurry future timelines he had seen under the blessing of the Heavenly Void Cauldron.
