Chapter 302
Chapter 302
"Where is the enemy?"
Xi Lan was a bit confused. The enormous figure behind him, with such a massive body disturbing multiple layers of space, couldn't be seen?
The chase between Xi Lan and the enormous figure, without restraining their aura, could still be felt even from a great distance and in different layers of space.
This was also why Xi Lan was worried about unexpected changes.
"Milky Way Star Lord, the 'Maduo' walker chasing me is immensely powerful, close to the ninth-rank million-layer realm. Even if we join forces, we cannot compete."
Xi Lan quickly said.
The fact that he had managed to escape from the 'Maduo' walker was entirely due to his unique evolutionary path and mastering a secret escape method.
But Lin Yuan did not have such means.
Once targeted by the 'Maduo' walker, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Milky Way Star Lord, please do not come near us."Xi Lan reminded once again.
Although there had been news five years ago about Lin Yuan killing the three-headed alien 'Olyphant', 'Olyphant' was only a ninth-rank ten thousand-layer realm strongman, having opened only a little over twenty thousand layers of space. He was not on the same level as the 'Maduo' walker who had opened over ninety thousand layers of space.
"It doesn't matter, come towards me."
Lin Yuan communicated through the black disc.
"Come over there?"
Xi Lan immediately realized.
Lin Yuan hadn't missed seeing the ferocious 'Maduo' walker, but had his own confidence.
Although Xi Lan didn't know what Lin Yuan had to counter the 'Maduo' walker, who was close to the million-layer realm, he understood the Milky Way Star Lord's personality from the time they spent together — absolutely not a reckless evolver.
Since the Milky Way Star Lord had asked him to come over, he must have a way to deal with the 'Maduo' walker.
"Alright."
Without hesitation, Xi Lan started to turn towards Lin Yuan.
"Milky Way Star Lord, while the 'Maduo' walker wasn't paying attention, I took a treasure he had been guarding for a long time."
As he approached Lin Yuan, Xi Lan explained the situation clearly.
The 'Maduo' walker was the offspring of a powerful ancient god in the depths of the cosmic starry sky.
That ancient god did not participate in the cosmic race wars, and the 'Maduo' walker had no significant hatred towards human civilization.
The 'Maduo' walker had been chasing Xi Lan for so long, purely out of anger.
Moreover, the treasure was indeed extraordinary, even if it wasn't at the level of a ten-star rare treasure, it was close.
Swoosh.
Lin Yuan and Xi Lan successfully met.
Following closely was the massive 'Maduo' walker.
"Milky Way Star Lord!" The 'Maduo' walker quickly recognized Lin Yuan. There was no way not to; the Milky Way Star Lord was too dazzling and famous, even the strongest ones had heard of him.
"'Maduo' walker," Lin Yuan's tone was calm, "There are countless opportunities in the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm. With the time you spend chasing, you could have already found another opportunity."
"Milky Way Star Lord, are you so biased towards your people?" The 'Maduo' walker was annoyed, "But if you don't hand over that treasure today, I won't even give you, Milky Way Star Lord, any face."
Under normal circumstances, the 'Maduo' walker would be very willing to give face to the Milky Way Star Lord.
With the potential of the Milky Way Star Lord, reaching the ninth-rank ten million-layer realm in the future was almost certain. Offending such a terrifying future strongman, the 'Maduo' walker wasn't stupid.
The Insect Race and the Tianyu Race had no room for reconciliation with human civilization, but the 'Maduo' walker had no significant direct enmity with humans or the Milky Way Star Lord.
In the cosmic starry sky, having more friends meant more paths.
But now, the 'Maduo' walker couldn't swallow this anger.
"If that's the case, then let's fight." Lin Yuan said directly.
Boom.
In an instant, the two entered deeper layers of space and started fighting.
Not far away.
Xi Lan cautiously sensed the terrifying fluctuations coming from the deeper layers of space.
"The Milky Way Star Lord is fighting with the 'Maduo' walker?" Xi Lan murmured, "And the fighting fluctuations, he's not immediately defeated?"
Xi Lan didn't dare to approach the space layer where Lin Yuan and the 'Maduo' walker were fighting, but from the fluctuations caused by their battle, he could roughly judge the situation.
Xi Lan's eyes were somewhat dazed. The growth speed of the Milky Way Star Lord was too fast. He still remembered not long ago when he took the Milky Way Star Lord to his home planet.
At that time, the Milky Way Star Lord had just entered the ninth rank, looking clueless.
And now, he was already able to contend with the 'Maduo' walker?
"Too terrifying."
"As expected of the most brilliant genius in human civilization history."
Xi Lan swallowed. Back on the alien battlefield, he was thinking about how to protect Lin Yuan from being attacked by the ninth-rank strongman of the Tianyu Race.
Now, it was Lin Yuan's turn to protect him.
The roles had reversed in such a short time.
In the deeper layers of space.
Lin Yuan and the 'Maduo' walker faced each other across dozens of layers of space.
"Milky Way Star Lord, I didn't expect your strength to be so strong? Almost able to seriously injure me?" The 'Maduo' walker stared at Lin Yuan, feeling a bit trembled inside.
Just now, when they collided deeply within the layers of space, the 'Maduo' walker felt an incredible force penetrating him.
If not for his ancient god's innate talent and timely withdrawal, he might have been seriously injured.
Innate talent?
Secret method?
Treasure?
Or something else?
The 'Maduo' walker was uncertain.
Originally, he thought he could suppress the Milky Way Star Lord. Even if the other party could surpass him in the future, for now, he still believed he was stronger than the Milky Way Star Lord.
But after the clash, the 'Maduo' walker quickly concluded that he couldn't do anything to the Milky Way Star Lord.
Not only couldn't he do anything, but if he continued, he might get caught off guard by the Milky Way Star Lord.
"What a pity."
Lin Yuan's expression was calm, but he felt a bit regretful inside.
In terms of space layer opening, Lin Yuan wasn't as proficient as the 'Maduo' walker.
But Lin Yuan's internal world was vast, over a 100M miles in diameter. The explosive power surpassed the might of a million-layer realm.
However, the 'Maduo' walker was cautious. Despite his anger, he hadn't completely lost his reason and didn't underestimate Lin Yuan.
Otherwise, with their previous encounter, Lin Yuan was confident he could have inflicted significant damage.
"Milky Way Star Lord, let's end this here." The 'Maduo' walker immediately backed down. He realized with the strength Lin Yuan displayed, there was no hope of retrieving that treasure.
"I'll give you a heads up, the Tianyu Race's 'Huny' is searching everywhere for you, intending to kill this avatar of yours to avenge the battlefield defeat."
"'Huny' is the strongest ninth-rank being of the Tianyu Race, having opened over thirty million layers of space. Your strength is great, but against 'Huny', even escaping would be impossible."
The 'Maduo' walker said, actively providing a piece of secret information to ease the tension with the Milky Way Star Lord.
Since he confirmed he couldn't get the treasure, he didn't want to completely offend the Milky Way Star Lord.
After saying this, the 'Maduo' walker blended into deeper layers of space and flew in another direction.
Lin Yuan stood still, not chasing after him.
He mainly couldn't catch up.
The more layers of space one had opened, the more layers one could occupy in an instant, appearing across multiple layers in a single thought.
In direct combat, Lin Yuan could overpower a million-layer strongman, but in other aspects, he was inferior.
Typically, using some special secret methods and treasures, a lower-layer being might escape from a higher-layer being.
Like Xi Lan had just escaped from the 'Maduo' walker.
But a lower-layer being wanting to chase a higher-layer being... it just wasn't possible.
Ninth-rank beings' chases in space layers weren't directly related to speed.
"Tianyu Race's 'Huny'?" Lin Yuan pondered the 'Maduo' walker's reminder, looking slightly serious.
Normally, a ninth-rank being only needed to open ten million layers to reach the threshold for the tenth rank. But 'Huny' had opened up to thirty million layers.
His strength definitely surpassed typical ninth-rank beings, likely the strongest among the ninth-rank beings entering the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm this time.
"But the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm is so vast, finding me won't be easy."
Lin Yuan shook his head slightly. He wasn't 'Huny's' match, but this Tianyu Race's strongest ninth-rank also couldn't directly locate him.
In the deeper layers of space.
The 'Maduo' walker, who had gone far, still felt some fear.
"I got carried away."
"Had I known the Milky Way Star Lord was this strong, I should have given up on the treasure immediately." The 'Maduo' walker reflected.
His ancient god progenitor wasn't the strongest among ancient gods, but lived comfortably, maintaining good relationships with all major races.
That's how he avoided offending anyone.
But now, he had offended the Milky Way Star Lord.
"At least, I provided some valuable information, hopefully mending things somewhat." The 'Maduo' walker sighed with relief.
Not many strong beings knew about 'Huny' searching for the Milky Way Star Lord. The 'Maduo' walker knew because of his ancient god progenitor's connections.
'Huny' promised rewards for information on the Milky Way Star Lord's whereabouts.
But now, the 'Maduo' walker didn't care about the reward, only about mending his impression with the Milky Way Star Lord.
After the 'Maduo' walker retreated.
Lin Yuan returned to Xi Lan.
"Alright, it's safe now," Lin Yuan said with a smile.
"The 'Maduo' walker retreated?" Xi Lan couldn't help but ask.
"Yes." Lin Yuan nodded.
"Milky Way Star Lord, your strength..." Even with his expectations, Xi Lan was still shocked.
The 'Maduo' walker was impulsive, unlike his diplomatic ancient god progenitor.
For him to retreat, the Milky Way Star Lord's strength must have been superior.
The 'Maduo' walker had opened over 900 thousand layers, close to the ninth-rank million-layer realm. Lin Yuan was stronger, meaning...
Xi Lan felt his understanding of reality shatter.
He had been at the ninth rank for nearly a million years, having opened only over sixty thousand layers, far weaker than the 'Maduo' walker.
But now, Lin Yuan, who had only recently entered the ninth rank, was already stronger than the 'Maduo' walker?
"Let's not dwell on this."
"We should move to another place."
Lin Yuan led Xi Lan into deeper layers of space.
A few days later.
They finally stopped.
"The 'Maduo' walker said 'Huny' from the Tianyu Race is searching for me," Lin Yuan said directly.
"'Huny'?" Xi Lan's face changed slightly.
He was extremely wary and even fearful of the Tianyu Race's strongest ninth-rank.
On the large alien battlefield, 'Huny' had suppressed dozens of million-layer ninth-rank beings with his thirty million layers.
Such a strongman was now looking for Lin Yuan?
Xi Lan's face turned ugly.
How shameless.
Though Lin Yuan had embarrassed the Tianyu Race on the battlefield, this was too much.
"We must be very careful," Xi Lan said seriously after calming down.
"Of course," Lin Yuan replied.
Even without 'Huny', he would be cautious in the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm.
"By the way."
"Tell me about that opportunity place. What made the 'Maduo' walker so furious?" Lin Yuan asked, curious.
The 'Maduo' walker always tried to emulate his diplomatic ancient god progenitor, avoiding offending any faction.
For him to chase Xi Lan so relentlessly, he must have been truly angered.
"Hahaha."
Xi Lan laughed.
"That opportunity place was left by a follower of 'His Majesty'," Xi Lan explained.
He had no secrets from Lin Yuan.
Without Lin Yuan, he would still be chased by the 'Maduo' walker, possibly with his avatar already dead.
"'His Majesty'?"
Lin Yuan nodded, listening.
In the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm, many opportunity places mentioned 'His Majesty'.
Most treasures' owners were followers of the great 'His Majesty'.
"This follower had a mysterious origin, accidentally entering a dimensional gap, falling into our dimension, and being saved by 'His Majesty'."
Xi Lan spoke with some awe. The concept of dimensional gaps wasn't a secret.
Dimensional gaps transcended spatial rules. Even twelfth-rank beings, strongest ones, and ultimate path existences couldn't break through dimensions.
But occasionally, gaps between dimensions might form, allowing entry to another dimension if one survived.
However, this probability was extremely low, untraceable even by the strongest ones. And the gaps closed within a few breaths.
"The item I got is the most precious treasure of that opportunity place's owner."
Xi Lan stretched out his right hand, revealing a black sphere.
The black sphere floated, rotating slowly, emitting a mysterious aura.
"But after studying it for a long time, I couldn't find anything special about it," Xi Lan said, puzzled.
"Hah?"
Lin Yuan, initially just curious, became serious when the black sphere appeared.
Because simultaneously, the majestic 'Gate of Myriad Realms' deep in his mind began to tremble slightly.
