Chapter 698 Starting Point
"laugh--"

Hearing Lin Zheyu's words, the Sky-Splitting Beast sneered again.

"I got it through my own talent and hard work. Hahahaha, it's really ridiculous."

The sky-splitting beast looked up and down at Lin Zheyu with its deep eyes.

Lin Zheyu frowned slightly, and energy surged in his body, covering up all his breath.

Facing those dark and deep eyes, he had a long-lost feeling, as if all his disguises had been seen through and his secrets were exposed.

"Three hundred years... or four hundred years... or five hundred years..."

"I can't see it clearly, but it's definitely no more than a thousand years old."

"Interesting. In less than a thousand years, he was able to grow from an ordinary human cultivator in a small world to his current level. Haha!"

"You're telling me that this is all due to your own hard work and talent?"

"What a joke!"

"No matter how great one's talent is, it is impossible for him to have your strength in just a few hundred years."

"Unless, the blood flowing in your body is one of the rare bloodlines among the human race."

The Sky-Splitting Beast looked at Lin Zheyu with a smile: "Obviously, you are not. What flows in your body is just the most ordinary human blood."

"So, I'm very curious, what kind of treasure do you have that can allow you to have such an amazing growth rate in this small world?"

"In less than a thousand years, with the most ordinary human bloodline, he grew from an ordinary mortal to a spiritual transformation realm cultivator..."

“Zizizizi, this is extremely rare among the major human forces in the Chaos. It requires an unimaginable accumulation of resources and treasures to be possible.”

The Sky-Splitting Beast looked at Lin Zheyu with great interest, as if he was looking at an interesting toy.

Although Lin Zheyu hid very well, he was unable to hide from the perception of the Sky-Splitting Beast which controlled the power of time and space.

The moment it saw Lin Zheyu for the first time, the Sky-Splitting Beast sensed the youthful aura emanating from Lin Zheyu's true spirit, which showed little signs of aging.

Lin Zheyu: "..."

Lin Zheyu frowned slightly. He glanced at Tianjizi beside him and found that Tianjizi was also looking at him.

After hearing the words of the Sky-Splitting Beast, Tianjizi's eyes couldn't help but move slightly. He looked at Lin Zheyu, and no one knew what he was thinking.

"so……"

"I'm curious, how did you do it?"

The Sky-Splitting Beast continued, "How about this? Hand over the secrets or treasures you have, and I will save your life, or even give you a great opportunity!"

“This opportunity is extremely rare.”

"If I spread the word, the countless forces and races in the Chaos will probably fight to the death for this opportunity."

Before Lin Zheyu could reply.

Suddenly, a voice came from the void: "Silence!"

Tianjizi was seen clasping his hands together and pressing suddenly towards the void in front of him. Countless spiritual seals shot out from his hands and sank into the golden river swirling outside the terrifying abyss.

In an instant, the golden river glowed brightly and transformed into powerful golden chains that instantly wrapped around the terrifying abyss tightly.

The phantom of the giant beast that split the sky glanced at Tianjizi with disdain, and its figure disappeared with a puff.

"Fellow Daoist, please do not listen to their instigation!"

"This beast is a ferocious giant from the chaos, and it is definitely not easy to deal with!"

"Once you have truly handed over the treasures on your body and have nothing to rely on, you will be completely at the mercy of others and your life will no longer be in your own hands!"

Tianjizi looked at Lin Zheyu and spoke in a low, serious voice.

He didn't dare let the Sky-Splitting Beast continue speaking.

Having guarded the depths of the forbidden land for tens of thousands of years, Tianjizi knew very well how terrifying the Sky-Splitting Beast was.

To be honest, if such a terrifying existence extended an olive branch to him, Tianjizi himself would not be able to help but be moved.

But unfortunately, the olive branch extended by the Sky-Splitting Beast was not to him, but to Lin Zheyu beside him.

Even though it was just the first time we met.

But when facing Lin Zheyu, Tianjizi felt that he was unfathomable.

This person's strength is definitely not inferior to his own!

It was already almost impossible to suppress the giant sky-splitting beast. If there was another strong man of Lin Zheyu's level to help in this world.

Then, they would have no hope at all!
"Don't worry, I won't be bewitched by it."

"Besides, I don't have the powerful secrets or treasures that the Sky-Splitting Beast mentioned."

"If there is, I really can't help but be moved."

Lin Zheyu smiled.

Whether Tianjizi believes it or not, he will not admit that he is hiding a powerful secret.

Let them guess.

Anyway, with Tianjizi's strength, he can no longer pose a threat to me.

The biggest threat now comes from Chaos Warriors such as Lawrence and the Sky-Splitting Beast.

His secret had been exposed, and now it had finally caught the attention of these guys.

Although this was already anticipated when his strength was exposed.

However, Lin Zheyu still felt tremendous pressure.

"Then I'll feel relieved."

"Now is a critical moment. We should unite as one and fight against the invasion of these chaotic demons."

Tianjizi exhaled lightly, as if he believed Lin Zheyu's words, and said with a smile.

"Yes."

Lin Zheyu nodded, glanced around and asked, "Where is the trouble you mentioned earlier?"

When he first met Tianjizi, he asked Tianjizi about the situation in the forbidden land.

Tianjizi told him that the forbidden land was very troublesome now, and then brought him here.

Speaking of this, Tianjizi's face instantly became solemn.

"Daoyou has also seen the layers of restrictions and methods set up in the terrifying abyss."

"These are the means we have been deploying for thousands of years to prevent the Sky-Splitting Beast from escaping from its suppression."

"But as time passed, the Sky-Splitting Beast became more powerful, and gradually adapted to the rules of this world."

"The restrictions and methods we set up can no longer suppress the other party."

"Now, the many methods that were previously deployed have been broken one by one. Only the methods set up by the Palm Buddha Kingdom and my Tiandao Sect can still play a role."

“But it won’t last long.”

"The energy released by the Sky-Splitting Beast is increasing. As you can see, it is now able to condense into a powerful phantom."

"..."

While Tianjizi was controlling the restrictions outside the terrifying abyss to prevent the giant sky-splitting beast from appearing again to cause trouble, he was explaining the current situation to Lin Zheyu.

Although he was unable to suppress the Sky-Splitting Beast for a long time, Tianjizi was still able to prevent it from showing up and causing trouble in a short period of time.

"At the current speed, how long will it take for the Sky-Splitting Beast to completely escape?"

Lin Zheyu asked.

This is the most important.

The time it takes for the Sky-Splitting Beast to escape is equivalent to the time he can use to improve his strength.

If the time is too short, the Sky-Splitting Beast will be able to escape completely in no time.

Well, Lin Zheyu might have to really think about what the Sky-Splitting Beast just said.

"I don't know the exact time, but it will definitely not exceed a thousand years!"

Tianjizi said with a serious expression.

He is not like Lin Zheyu, who has been practicing for less than three hundred years.

Tianjizi has been practicing for tens of thousands of years, and often goes into seclusion for thousands of years at a time.

A thousand years passed in a flash for a cultivator like him, and he could do nothing about it.

A thousand years?
Upon hearing this, Lin Zheyu couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, there is still enough time to improve my strength.

Even if we discount the thousand years, there is still hundreds of years of buffer time.

All in all, Lin Zheyu has been practicing for less than three hundred years.

Hundreds of years can be considered an extremely long time for him.

With the help of source power, Lin Zheyu's strength was able to undergo several transformations and improvements.

of course,

The premise is,
Lin Zheyu was able to find a way to break the shackles of the first level of the Spiritual Transformation Realm.

Or, because of his special soul, he would not be trapped in the first level of the Spiritual Transformation Realm and unable to continue to improve like other creatures in the small world. Otherwise, it would be difficult for Lin Zheyu's strength to improve much in a thousand years.

"After a thousand years, I still haven't reached the point of complete despair."

Lin Zheyu pondered for a moment and looked at Tianjizi.

"Fellow Daoist, you have been stranded in the forbidden land for tens of thousands of years, in order to find the opportunity to become the master of the world, right?"

"I wonder if you have found the way to become the master of the world?" Lin Zheyu asked.

From the moment he met Tianjizi, he had been secretly probing Tianjizi's condition.

But no matter how Lin Zheyu explored, he did not find anything different on his body.

Tianjizi's strength is indeed strong. As he expected, he has been promoted to the Lingbian level.

He broke through to the spiritual transformation realm through his own strength and is not a cultivator of the Hedao realm.

But other than that, there is nothing special.

Lin Zheyu's real body has been in the depths of the extraterritorial battlefield and has been in contact with the will of heaven for such a long time that his perception of the power of heaven is extremely keen.

He did not sense any trace of the aura of heaven from Tianjizi.

Even if there is, it comes from the strong power of heaven's favor on him.

"I am a person of dull talent. I have used the power of my sect and spent tens of thousands of years in the depths of the forbidden land, but I still have not been able to find the fate of the master of the world."

"Ugh……"

Tianjizi sighed deeply, and a trace of loneliness flashed in his eyes.

He is a child of destiny, with extremely amazing talent and comprehension, and is a rare cultivation genius that is hard to come by in a million years.

The entire Tiandao Sect has high hopes for Tianjizi.

His master, the previous generation Tianjizi, also placed his last hope on him.

However, Tianjizi failed...

As time goes by, he has changed from a young man full of confidence and incomparable self-confidence to an old man who is gradually feeling desperate and full of frustration.

Although his appearance was still young, Tianjizi's heart was gradually becoming old and decadent.

"Where are the other fellow Taoists?"

"Almost all the leaders of the top ten most powerful sects are in the forbidden area. Is it possible that no one of them succeeded?"

Lin Zheyu asked with a frown.

“None succeeded.”

"We have gathered our strength and spent thousands of years to successfully find a way to become the master of the world."

“However, no one succeeded.”

"It is too difficult to become the master of the world. The requirements for the cultivator's determination, character, understanding, strength, true spiritual potential, etc. have reached an astonishing level."

"If I were given another ten thousand years, I might still have a glimmer of hope for success."

"But there are no ifs..."

Tianjizi said helplessly.

He exhaled lightly, suppressed the complicated emotions in his heart, and looked up at Lin Zheyu.

"As mentioned before, the Sky-Splitting Beast is about to escape, but it is not the biggest trouble."

"The biggest trouble is that the hope of this world giving birth to the Lord of the World has been completely cut off!"

Tianjizi's eyes were solemn, and at this moment, his voice was a little hoarse.

"It's broken off?"

"How can this be!"

Lin Zheyu's pupils suddenly shrank and he couldn't help but exclaimed.

Becoming the master of the world is the last hope in this catastrophe.

It is also the last hope in the hearts of Qiankunzi and all the cultivators in the outside world.

But now, he actually heard from Tianjizi that his hope of becoming the master of the world was completely cut off.

How could he not be shocked!

"No wonder, no wonder..."

Lin Zheyu murmured to himself, and the despair that flashed in Qiankunzi's eyes before his death suddenly emerged in his mind.

No wonder Qiankunzi was so desperate after peeking into the future secrets.

Perhaps, Qiankunzi had already guessed something from the future secrets he had glimpsed.

Ouch!

Suddenly, a terrifying roar came from the terrifying abyss.

In the terrifying abyss, a pair of dark eyes suddenly emerged. There was a hint of teasing in the eyes. They looked at Lin Zheyu and Tianjizi outside through the restriction with great interest.

The Sky-Splitting Beast seemed to have guessed what the two were discussing.

"call--"

Tianjizi exhaled lightly, his mind moved slightly, and countless golden lights emerged on his body, turning into a huge golden compass.

He stretched out his index finger, and the golden compass suddenly shrank and gathered at the fingertips. In an instant, golden light shone brightly at the fingertips, like a concentrated scorching sun.

puff--

Tianjizi suddenly pointed his index finger towards the terrifying abyss. A brilliant golden light instantly burst out from his index finger, completely submerging the terrifying abyss.

Lin Zheyu stood quietly aside, with countless martial arts divine patterns flowing rapidly in the depths of his pupils.

When Tianjizi made his move, he saw the vast power of heaven in the void suddenly bless him.

This is why the power unleashed by Tianjizi is so strong that it can temporarily suppress the giant beast that splits the sky in the terrifying abyss.

"It seems that although Tianjizi failed to become the master of the world, he also gained other things."

Lin Zheyu pondered in his heart.

However, Tianjizi's use of the power of heaven is not without cost.

Lin Zheyu could feel that every time Tianjizi made a move, the aura would become noticeably weaker.

Moreover, it seems to be an attempt to minimize the backlash caused by borrowing the power of heaven.

After each attack, Tianjizi would completely remove any remaining Heavenly Dao aura from his body.

This is also the reason why the breath of Heaven that Lin Zheyu sensed from Tianjizi before was extremely weak.

"interesting!"

Lin Zheyu observed Tianjizi's attack process and an interesting look appeared on his face.

Tianjizi's research on the way of heaven was even deeper than he had imagined.

It seems that we should be able to gain a lot this time.

"It's just some small tricks that use the power of heaven. If you want, I can teach you."

Tianjizi withdrew his hand, saw Lin Zheyu looking at him, and said with a smile.

"Then I would like to thank you, fellow Taoist." Lin Zheyu thanked with a smile.

"Let's talk about what just happened."

Tianjizi let out a light breath and continued the previous topic.

"If you come a little earlier, not too long, just a few years earlier."

"At that time, the hope of becoming the master of the world had not been completely cut off."

"But now..."

Tianjizi sighed lightly and shook his head slightly.

He did not tease Lin Zheyu and continued:
"If you want to become the master of the world, you need to enter the deepest starting point of the forbidden land. The way of heaven was born from there, and that is also where the origin of the world is."

“But now, the starting point is blocked.”

"With the loosening of the suppression seal and the continuous devouring of the world's origin, the Sky-Splitting Beast is not only able to use stronger and stronger power, but can also call upon the power of the origin of this world."

"A few years ago, the Sky-Splitting Beast used its own power to pry open the origin of this world and set up a powerful blockade outside the starting point."

"Now, the starting point is no longer accessible."

Tianjizi's eyes were filled with solemnity, and in his solemnity there was a hint of imperceptible despair.

"The starting point?"

"Is that where you mean?"

Lin Zheyu frowned slightly and pointed to the mysterious void at the bottom of the terrifying abyss.

"That's right!"

Tianjizi confirmed his guess.
