This, instead, completely caught the Xuanyuan Supreme, Xia Qin Supreme off guard.
“Galaxy Master…”
The gaze of the Yu Clan Ultimate was deep, looking towards the Time River space, locking eyes with the Tianyu Chen standing on the shore.
The other twelve-tier Ultimates felt the same, realizing the severity of the situation, that the Galaxy Master was simply not someone they could besiege.
“Hmm?”
The expression of the Insect Queen slightly changed.
The other twelve-tier Ultimates did likewise.
Immediately after, under the watchful eyes of several twelve-tier Ultimates, Tianyu Chen was forcibly pulled into the Time River by a hand reaching out from beneath it.
“What?”
The twelve-tier Ultimates disappeared, reappearing at the riverbanks of the Time River, watching the surging river intently and gravely.
“That hand?”
“It’s the Galaxy Master.”
“The Galaxy Master is merely a life from within the river; how could it possibly have the strength to drag us, the twelve-tier beings, down?”
The twelve-tier Ultimates were in disbelief. The space of the Time River was where the essence of life was fundamentally reflected. To drag a twelve-tier life form here? How strong must one’s life essence be?
“How could it not be possible?”
“Don’t forget the scene just now when the Galaxy Master was suppressing Tianyu Chen.”
The Yu Clan Ultimate spoke up.
As these words were spoken.
Many twelve-tier Ultimates immediately came to a realization.
Indeed.
The scene where an eleven-tier dominates a twelve-tier had already occurred.
A life from within the Time River dragging a life from the riverbank was also not utterly impossible.
“Tianyu Chen…this time, you are going to suffer a major setback.”
The Prison Tribe Ultimate murmured.
At this moment, every single twelve-tier Ultimate had appeared on the banks of the Time River.
Yet, not one twelve-tier Ultimate was willing to step forward, to enter the Time River to rescue Tianyu Chen.
Even the other Ultimates of the Tianyu Clan just stood by the shore quietly, without any intention to rescue?
To rescue?
How to rescue?
Twelve-tier life forms naturally repel the Time River; a twelve-tier life form daring to enter the Time River would first have to face the price of significant erosion of their life essence.
Whoosh.
Just as many twelve-tier Ultimates were staring at the Time River.
The previously calm river surface suddenly began to ripple.
The ripples continued to grow, becoming more and more intense, eventually forming waves, as if there were two prehistoric behemoths entangled beneath the water.
…
“Get lost!!!”
Inside the Time River, Tianyu Chen, feeling his life essence weakening continuously, became frightened and angry, and struggled to fight back.
Lin Yuan, however, was nonchalant; he could feel the Time River’s influence and suppression on Tianyu Chen. At the moment, he only needed to keep this twelve-tier life form at bay.
If it exceeded a certain time limit, the other party would face the risk of their life essence regressing.
“Ahhhhhh!!”
Tianyu Chen’s eyes were bloodshot, and his twenty-four pairs of wings flapped behind him.
Without a sound, two pairs of wings began to collapse.
Boom.
The strength of Tianyu Chen surged tremendously; with a single motion, he repelled Lin Yuan and then directly burst out of the Time River, fleeing towards the shore in panic.
“He’s out?”
“Tianyu Chen has come out.”
Many twelve-tier beings on the shore sighed with relief upon seeing this.
They also noticed Tianyu Chen’s weakened breath and the fact that his twenty-four pairs of wings had become twenty-two, but all that mattered was that he escaped the Time River.
“Let’s go.”
The other ancestors of the Tianyu Clan quickly caught Tianyu Chen and then disappeared in a flash, returning to the territory of the Tianyu Clan.
…
“What a pity…”
Below the Time River, Lin Yuan watched Tianyu Chen escape, feeling a slight regret.
In the Main Universe, even if Lin Yuan were to deploy his true form and activate those supreme Path Splitting Realm weapons, he would have absolutely no chance of slaying an ultimate being of the Twelfth rank.
Even if the Taiji Primordial Spirit brandished a Twelfth rank weapon and slashed out hundreds of thousands of times, it would probably only cause some minor injuries to Tianyu Chen.
And over time, other alert Twelfth rank ultimates would intervene to stop him.
But inside the Time River?
There, Tianyu Chen might truly face the possibility of falling.
Yet there remained a significant gap between the lifeforce essence of Lin Yuan and Tianyu Chen, even if the latter was using ninety percent of his attention to resist the erosion from the entire Time River.
Once Tianyu Chen started fighting desperately, Lin Yuan couldn’t even manage to hold him back.
…
Although he hadn’t managed to fully retain Tianyu Chen, he had still achieved what Lin Yuan had anticipated.
Because the injuries sustained by Tianyu Chen were almost indescribable in terms of their difficulty to heal.
Not to mention the erosion of his lifeforce essence during his fall into the Time River, but solely the act of shattering his two pairs of wings in his final effort to break free from the Time River.
That move likely cost Tianyu Chen an irreversible price.
The power core of the Tianyu Clan lies in their wings at their back, and this is true even for Twelfth rank beings.
Though shattering one’s wings can temporarily bring about a drastic increase in strength, it inevitably leads to an almost permanent decline and weakening in power afterward.
As a Twelfth rank lifeform, Tianyu Chen might be confident in restoring his shattered wings, but it could take billions upon billions of years.
And before then, he would probably not even dare to show his face.
The once 22-winged ultimate being of the Tianyu Clan, their strength might now be estimated to rank at the very bottom among Twelfth rank beings.
…
“Hm?”
This chapt𝓮r is updat𝒆d by ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom.
“These Twelfth ranks haven’t left?”
Hiding beneath the river water, Lin Yuan saw that the many Twelfth rank ultimates were still watching the waters of the Time River intently.
However, Lin Yuan clearly noticed that the positions where these Twelfth rank ultimates now stood were a considerable distance from the Time River compared to before.
Before today, these Twelfth rank ultimates stood on the riverbank, looking down upon the Time River.
As if they were looking up at the ‘big fish’ occasionally leaping out of the water.
But now, it no longer counted as the riverbank.
“Are they all guarding against me?”
Lin Yuan sighed, without feeling surprised.
The main reason he was able to drag Tianyu Chen into the Time River was the element of surprise.
Tianyu Chen had never anticipated such a drag from beneath the Time River.
Which resulted in his current predicament.
But such a tactic could at most be used only once.
Now that these Twelfth rank ultimates were on guard, constantly vigilant of Lin Yuan below the Time River, it was no longer possible to replicate the feat.
Firstly, the distance was too far; Lin Yuan would probably have to expose half of his body to reach the Twelfth rank ultimates standing there now.
Secondly, with these guarded Twelfth rank ultimates ready to react at a moment’s notice and considering the gap in the lifeforce essence, it would be very difficult for Lin Yuan to drag them down again.
“However, such means are no longer needed.”
Lin Yuan shook his head slightly; if he successfully reached the ultimate level as planned, he would soon stand beside those Twelfth rank ultimates on the riverbank, without the need to hide beneath the water and launch surprise attacks.
…
On the banks of the Time River.
The Twelfth rank ultimates stood a good distance away from the water.
“The injuries sustained by Tianyu Chen will likely not be fully recovered by the end of this Cosmic Era.”
“Yes, the erosion of the lifeforce essence by the waters of the Time River is too severe for us Twelfth ranks to bear.”
“The substantial losses of the Tianyu Clan could affect their situation after the cosmic cataclysm…”
The many Twelfth rank ultimates conversed, for any Twelfth rank lifeform, the cosmic cataclysm is akin to passing through the gates of hell.
Without reaching the pinnacle of the Path Splitting Realm, there’s only a fifty percent or even smaller chance of survival.
And with Tianyu Chen’s current state, there’s little hope of improving his strength before the cosmic cataclysm, let alone returning to the peak of his powers.
Under such circumstances, the likelihood of Tianyu Chen enduring the cosmic cataclysm is estimated at just twenty to thirty percent, or perhaps even lower.
The stronger the being in the Path Splitting Realm, the higher the probability of enduring the cosmic cataclysm, with those at the pinnacle of the Path Splitting Realm expected to safely navigate through it.
Why then, do current Twelfth rank ultimates refrain from engaging in mortal combat with each other?
One reason is that it’s very difficult to truly determine a victor among ultimates; mortal combat lacks meaning.
And what if a victor is decided? Killing a thousand enemies at the cost of eight hundred of one’s own means that by inflicting a severe injury on the enemy, with everyone being of the Twelfth rank and fighting back desperately, one would inevitably sustain injuries as well.
This could impact one’s condition and fighting ability when facing the cosmic cataclysm in the future.
Failure to navigate through the cosmic cataclysm means complete death and ruin for any Twelfth rank ultimate, with no possibility of avoiding that fate.
