Milky Way Great Saint.
The moment those four words were spoken, over a dozen Supreme Saints couldnât help but tremble inwardly.
Milky Way Great Saint?
The Milky Way Great Saint of this eraâthe Invincible Supreme Saint himself?
He was one of those who had seemingly appeared out of nowhere. Before displaying the might of an Invincible Supreme Saint, he had barely ever made a move.
Yet it took only one battleâjust oneâfor the Milky Way Great Saint to ascend to the ranks of those who could dominate the Chaos Void.
That single battle crushed all thought of rivalry; even Supreme Saints no longer dared to imagine competing with him.
Beyond the Milky Way Chaos Continent, two Supreme Saints had descended together.
But before the Milky Way Great Saint, they hadnât even been able to resistâthey had simply dissolved into nothing in an instant.
Who could stand against such a means?
And as that one-sided battle ended, more and more details began to surface.
For instance, it turned out that the two Supreme Saints werenât the only ones involvedâthere had also been an imprint left by âRahu Great Saint.â
Rahu Great Saint was a well-known Supreme Saint, said to have mastered a thirteenth-rank inheritance.
He possessed power equal to a conventional Invincible Supreme Saint.
Yet even he had melted away before the Milky Way Great Saintâlike snow beneath the sun.
It was utterly inconceivable.
There was another rumor.
Rahu Great Saint had originally planned to sweep across the Chaos Void and claim the title of âInvincible.â
But it was Lin Yuanâs strike that extinguished that ambition, driving him to immediately attempt a breakthrough to the thirteenth rank instead.
âThe Milky Way Great Saint⊠Senior Eye of Ten Thousand Laws actually managed to invite the Milky Way Great Saint?â
One of the Supreme Saints couldnât help but exclaim.
Since that battle, countless powerful beings had sought an audience with the Milky Way Great Saint.
Chaos Great Saints? Supreme Saints? Even special entities such as the Eye of Ten Thousand Laws.
Howeverâ
The Milky Way Great Saint seemed wholly uninterested in interacting with such beings, never once receiving a single one of them.
And with his level of strength, if he chose not to meet anyone, there was nothing even those special beings could do but quietly withdraw.
Those entities were bound by the rules set by the Time beingsâthey could not directly interfere. So, even when facing a Supreme Saint who could sweep the Chaos Void, they maintained humility.
Moreover, they could see far deeper than the Supreme Saints themselves, and many had deduced that Lin Yuan was not merely an Invincible Supreme Saintâhe was the strongest among all Invincible Supreme Saints born of the Chaos Void.
With such power, only a lunatic would dare to provoke him.
âSenior Eye of Ten Thousand Laws naturally has his own methods.â
Even Fengzhu Supreme Saint didnât know how the Eye of Ten Thousand Laws had managed to invite the Milky Way Great Saint.
But since the Eye of Ten Thousand Laws had said as much, it must have been true.
âHoweverâŠâ
Fengzhu Supreme Saint thought for a moment, then continued, âSenior Eye of Ten Thousand Laws said the Milky Way Great Saint will only be sending a single incarnation.â
âAn incarnation?â
The many Supreme Saints were stunned.
No matter how much they revered his strengthâjust an incarnation?
After all, an Invincible Supreme Saint was still only at the twelfth rank. How powerful could a casually condensed incarnation be?
It might not even rival a true Supreme Saint.
Even if the Milky Way Great Saint was immensely strong, wasnât it reckless to send only an incarnation to retrieve the Law Source Fruit within three days?
âIf the Milky Way Great Saint chose this, then he must have his reasons.â
Fengzhu Supreme Saint looked toward the gathered Supreme Saints and spoke.
He too had been shocked when he first heard the news.
But upon reflection, someone of the Milky Way Great Saintâs height surely had considerations beyond their comprehension.
How could beings like them possibly fathom his thoughts?
If he acted this way, he must have full confidence.
And given his status, if he had promised the Eye of Ten Thousand Laws to act, he would never do so half-heartedly. If he hadnât wanted to, he wouldâve simply refused.
âTrue enough.â
The Supreme Saints nodded, understanding dawning on their faces.
âYes, that makes sense.â
âI suspect the Milky Way Great Saint sent only an incarnation to scout the situation beyond the dimensional fissureâonce heâs confirmed thereâs no threat, his true body will descend to sweep through and claim the Law Source Fruit.â
Fengzhu Supreme Saint voiced his reasoning.
The dimensional fissure was riddled with dangerâeven an Invincible Supreme Saint couldnât guarantee leaving unscathed.
Given the Milky Way Great Saintâs cautious nature, it was only logical to send an incarnation first to verify safety before acting personally.
Upon hearing this, the other Supreme Saints nodded in agreement.
Indeed.
It all made perfect sense.
âWith the Milky Way Great Saintâs help, retrieving the Law Source Fruit within three days is nearly certain.â
Smiles spread across their faces.
Though they had come at the Eye of Ten Thousand Lawsâ request as a favor, if the mission succeeded, that entity would surely reward them handsomely.
At the level of Supreme Saints, most treasures of the Chaos Void had long since lost their value.
But whatever the Eye of Ten Thousand Laws offered would no doubt satisfy them.
âThis time, we might even get to witness the true power of the Milky Way Great Saint.â
One Supreme Saint said expectantly. In all of Chaos Voidâs history, among all Invincible Supreme Saints, none were as mysterious as the Milky Way Great Saintâhe had acted only a handful of times.
Suddenlyâ
At that very momentâ
The power of time and space converged, forming a figure not far from the dozen Supreme Saints.
âThe Milky Way Great Saint has arrived?â
Excitement surged in their hearts as they turned to look.
The figure was a young man with his hands clasped behind his back. Between his brows faintly revolved a Yin-Yang Tai Chi mark.
âThis is just one incarnation of the Milky Way Great Saint?â
The Supreme Saints were shaken. Even as a mere incarnation, the pressure he exuded was immenseâit came from his utter mastery of time and space.
âAs expected of the Milky Way Great Saint.â
Fengzhu Supreme Saint silently sighed in aweâhe had still underestimated him.
From his senses alone, he wasnât even sure he could defeat this incarnation.
In other words, the Milky Way Great Saintâs incarnation was equivalent to a Supreme Saint? In the entire history of the Chaos Void, such a thing had never been seen.
âThat fissure there?â
Lin Yuan took one step forward, appearing before the Supreme Saints, and spoke casually.
âYes.â
âThe Law Source Fruit Senior Eye of Ten Thousand Laws desires lies on a small continent beyond the fissureâŠâ
Fengzhu Supreme Saintâs heart tightened as he swiftly explained the situation.
He emphasized that the small continent was inhabited by native dimensional creaturesâbeings born strong, instinctively manipulating time and space. Combined with their home-field advantage, even Supreme Saints found them troublesome to face in large numbers.
âMilky Way Great Saint, our true bodies are stationed within. We can join you when needed.â
Fengzhu Supreme Saint added.
All their true bodies were currently on that small continent.
âUnderstood.â
Lin Yuan nodded.
He stepped forward againâ
And entered the dimensional fissure.
Elsewhereâ
The Eye of Ten Thousand Laws was watching the rift from afar.
âMilky Wayâs incarnation has arrived already? Such speed⊠he must have been nearby.â
The Eye of Ten Thousand Laws gazed at Lin Yuanâs incarnation.
âI canât even see through his incarnation anymoreâŠâ
It shook its head slowly.
Long ago, it had already lost the ability to perceive Lin Yuanâs true body.
Now, it couldnât even see through an incarnation.
Within its vision, even this single incarnation distorted the laws of time and space around it like a black hole.
âThat little fellow from back then⊠to think heâs grown to this level.â
The Eye of Ten Thousand Laws was filled with wonder. When it had first met Lin Yuan, he hadnât even reached the Chaos stage.
Most of the dimensional gap was shrouded in gloom.
Once Lin Yuanâs incarnation entered, he soon saw the small continent where the Law Source Fruit grew.
The landmass was roughly the size of a Void Domain, but since it lay outside the Chaos Void, the dimensional gapâs environment suppressed all laws and rules. Even Supreme Saints found it difficult to instantly cross the continent to seize the fruit.
âMilky Way Great Saint.â
âMilky Way Great Saint.â
The true bodies of several Supreme Saints gathered around.
âMilky Way Great Saint, the Law Source Fruit is right there.â
Fengzhu Supreme Saint gestured. Lin Yuan followed his gaze to the heart of the small continent, where a tree swayed gently.
Its bark was dark, faint ripples of law pulsing across its surface, and from its branches hung a single fist-sized fruit.
âThe Law Source Fruit.â
Lin Yuan understood immediately.
The fruit had absorbed the essence of laws from multiple dimensions, making it of immense value to beings like the Eye of Ten Thousand Laws, whose existence was rooted in the Way itself.
The so-called âlaws and principlesâ were the very breaths of evolutionary paths across dimensions.
âMilky Way Great Saint, the closer you get, the more dimensional creatures appear. Weâve only secured the outer perimeter for now,â Fengzhu Supreme Saint explained.
Lin Yuan observed the native creatures.
He had encountered similar beings before during his previous transmigrations through the Infinite Voidâweak variants, captured and brought into secret realms. Those were known as void creatures.
âNot bad.â
Lin Yuan nodded.
After just a few glances, he had gauged their strength.
They were indeed formidable.
Even a regular Invincible Supreme Saint might struggle to claim the Law Source Fruit within three days against such numbers.
âMilky Way Great Saint, what should we do now?â
Fengzhu Supreme Saint asked.
The rest of the Supreme Saints waited obediently.
Before this, they had followed Fengzhu Supreme Saintâs lead.
But now that the Milky Way Great Saint was here, his word was absolute.
âYou neednât do anything.â
Lin Yuan glanced at them lightly. âIâll handle it myself. Iâll take the Law Source Fruit directly.â
âUnderstood.â
Fengzhu Supreme Saint was inwardly stunned, but he chose to trust in Lin Yuanâs power.
âWhen will your true body descend, Milky Way Great Saint?â
He asked, excitement spreading among the others.
They too wanted to witness the arrival of his true self, to see him crush the native dimensional beings and seize the Law Source Fruit.
âMy true body?â
Lin Yuan smiled faintly. âThat wonât be necessary.â
In the next instantâ
Before the stunned eyes of the Supreme Saintsâ
Lin Yuan extended a hand.
Whoosh!
That palm expanded, vast as the heavens themselves, reaching toward the depths of the small continent.
Dimensional creatures roared and hurled themselves upward, but each vanished silently beneath the descending palm.
In a single moment, the tree bearing the Law Source Fruit, along with a large patch of land around its roots, was lifted away and brought before Lin Yuan.
âThatâll do.â
Lin Yuan smiled as he gazed at the tree in his hand.
The nearby Supreme Saints were utterly blank, their minds empty.
As they stared at Lin Yuanâcalmly examining the treeâ
A single thought surged up unbidden.
This⊠was just an incarnation?
