"The Milky Way Star Lord is paying attention to us?"
The hearts of the eighth-Rank invincibles on the human side were certain.
For a battlefield like B0001, every moment would be under the watch of ninth-Rank or even tenth-Rank evolvers from the human side.
But these observations were just that—observations.
To maintain the intensity of the war, even if the human side was greatly defeated, the ninth and tenth-Rank evolvers would not intervene.
The same was true for the Tianyu Clan; there would be designated ninth and tenth-Rank experts watching here.
The wins and losses on a medium-sized battlefield had little to do with the ninth Rank, as they would not personally interfere with the battle.
But the attention of the Milky Way Star Lord…
The Milky Way Star Lord was not ninth Rank; his attention was a real boost for the human side.
With the strength of the Milky Way Star Lord, once involved, it would definitely have the effect of turning the tide.
"Where is the Milky Way Star Lord?"
"When did the Milky Way Star Lord arrive at the battlefield? How did I not know?"
"Nonsense, the Milky Way Star Lord is our human side's stabilizing force; only the Baiyun Star Lord probably knows his whereabouts."
Dozens of eighth-Rank invincibles whispered, visibly relaxed.
Until today, the Baiyun Star Lord had never disclosed information about the Milky Way Star Lord, making them almost think there was a problem with the invitation.
"Even if the Milky Way Star Lord is here, we should not let our guard down."
The Baiyun Star Lord glanced at the many eighth-Rank invincible evolvers and reminded them.
The Milky Way Star Lord was a trump card, a killing weapon.
But not everything could be pinned on the Milky Way Star Lord.
If in this war, the human side was crushed from the beginning by the Tianyu Clan.
Then no matter how strong the Milky Way Star Lord was, it would be useless, right? Could he alone fight against all the eighth-Rank invincibles of the Tianyu Clan in this battlefield?
After reminding the eighth-Rank invincible evolvers, the Baiyun Star Lord thought to himself: "I wonder where the Milky Way Star Lord is now."
In fact, he knew very little about the Milky Way Star Lord, only receiving a message from him two years ago.
Saying he had arrived and would act at a critical moment.
As for more, there was nothing.
The Baiyun Star Lord did not dare to disturb Lin Yuan.
On the other side of the B0001 battlefield.
The invincible eighth-Rank members of the Tianyu Clan stood in the void.
The leader was an old man with six pairs of wings behind him, his eyes cold and his aura terrifying.
Within the Tianyu Clan, the ranks were clear, and future potential and height were determined almost from birth.
Those with one pair of wings were mediocre, reaching at most first or second Rank in their life.
With two pairs of wings, their future achievements were at least third Rank.
Three pairs of wings, their potential would not be lower than the fifth Rank.
Four pairs of wings had the hope of reaching the seventh Rank.
The wings of the Tianyu Clan contained many incredible abilities, with methods akin to some special life forms' innate talents.
It was precisely because of this that the Tianyu Clan could rank among the peak groups in the universe. In terms of population, the Tianyu Clan was far less than human civilization.
In terms of average level, the Tianyu Clan was also far inferior to the Insect Race.
The Insect Race's numbers were actually very few, most being mass-produced insect warriors.
Each Insect Race hive was a war machine, as long as there were enough resources, they were truly invincible at the same Rank.
"Leader, the number of eighth-Rank invincibles on the human side has not increased," a five-winged Tianyu Clan member said in a low voice.
"Oh?"
The leader with six wings raised an eyebrow.
"It seems human civilization has other cards up their sleeve," the six-winged elder said.
The Tianyu Clan had fought human civilization for many years, knowing the latter would not be unprepared.
Even though the Tianyu Clan took advantage of human civilization's distractions, launching a comprehensive attack when they couldn't provide timely support.
But if they truly believed they had no chance of winning, they would certainly retreat to avoid more losses.
After all, the outcome of a mere medium-sized battlefield didn't matter much to human civilization's overall strength.
Since the human side dared to take the initiative, it meant they had a key trump card, strong enough to make them believe they wouldn't necessarily lose.
"Indeed, according to our clan's think tank analysis of this war, human civilization's behavior now has three possibilities."
The five-winged Tianyu Clan expert continued: "First, the evolvers of human civilization have obtained a ninth-Rank or tenth-Rank secret treasure that can change the battlefield."
"Ninth-Rank, tenth-Rank secret treasure?" The six-winged elder shook his head slightly.
Normally, the eighth-Rank invincibles appearing on the battlefield, whether human evolvers or Tianyu Clan experts, wouldn't carry too precious treasures.
Eighth-Rank invincibles rarely die elsewhere, but on alien battlefields, especially ancient ones like B0001, the death rate was still high.
The environment of alien battlefields was special, and with many strong opponents, even eighth-Rank invincibles could easily fall.
If their avatars died, it was a significant loss, let alone if they carried important treasures—wouldn't that be catastrophic?
Ninth-Rank, tenth-Rank secret treasures? Their value was very high and could greatly enhance an eighth-Rank invincible's combat power, but if an eighth-Rank invincible with such a treasure died, it would fall into the enemy's hands.
So unless absolutely necessary, neither human evolvers nor Tianyu Clan experts would use such secret treasures.
However, since human civilization was at an absolute disadvantage this time, the Tianyu Clan think tank considered it possible.
After all, facing a huge gap in the number of eighth-Rank invincibles, only ninth-Rank, tenth-Rank secret treasures could hope to bridge it.
"If human civilization can use high-level secret treasures, why can't our Tianyu Clan?" The six-winged elder said calmly.
"Second, the human side has invited a group of eighth-Rank invincibles for support, but they are all hidden."
The five-winged Tianyu Clan expert continued.
"Meaningless." The six-winged elder's tone was indifferent.
In the face of absolute strength, there was no such thing as ambush or hidden attacks.
"Third."
The five-winged Tianyu Clan expert paused before saying slowly: "The Milky Way Star Lord may have been invited and arrived at this battlefield."
These words caused the six-winged elder to show a slightly serious expression.
Even he had heard of the Milky Way Star Lord's fame.
After all, he had broken the myth of eighth-Rank invincibility, killing two eighth-Rank invincibles with his bare hands without any external aid.
Although those two eighth-Rank invincibles were not from peak groups, eighth-Rank invincibles were still eighth-Rank invincibles.
In the six-winged elder's heart, with his strength, suppressing an eighth-Rank invincible was not a problem, but killing one required high-level secret treasures.
"The Milky Way Star Lord...is indeed a problem."
The six-winged elder thought, "But he cannot change the overall situation, merely restrain some of our eighth-Rank invincibles."
With the Milky Way Star Lord's strength not yet fully exposed, if he suddenly attacked them, it would indeed cause some Tianyu Clan eighth-Rank invincibles to die.
But now they were prepared for the Milky Way Star Lord's strength, knowing he could kill eighth-Rank invincibles, they would not suffer major losses with precautions.
At worst, they wouldn't confront the Milky Way Star Lord head-on, focusing on restraint. As long as human civilization was overall defeated, the Milky Way Star Lord wouldn't make waves.
Under the 30,000-meter-long permanent space rift.
Lin Yuan's Yang Spirit suddenly opened its eyes.
"Five strands of boundary-breaking source power in two years, it was worth coming here."
A smile appeared on Lin Yuan's face. This permanent space rift on the B0001 battlefield allowed the accumulation of universal source power to reach one strand every 150 days.
Basically, within half a year, he could accumulate a complete strand of boundary-breaking source power.
"Hmm?"
Lin Yuan glanced into the distance.
A wisp of Yin power gathered to form a figure.
It was Lin Yuan's Yin Spirit.
Determining that the permanent space rift on this battlefield increased the efficiency of accumulating boundary-breaking source power more than the medium-sized alien battlefield where the Yin Spirit was located.
Lin Yuan had the Yin Spirit leave that battlefield and come to B0001 to join the Yang Spirit.
No matter how many permanent space rifts Lin Yuan was under, only one could effectively absorb boundary-breaking source power.
"To be safe, combining the two Spirits into the Tai Chi Spirit should be enough."
Lin Yuan thought to himself, since he had promised the Baiyun Star Lord to deal with the Tianyu Clan experts, he had to ensure stability.
Combining the Yin and Yang into the Tai Chi Spirit, though not as powerful as his true self.
But it also surpassed the strength of a newly entered ninth-Rank expert. After mastering the complete space rules, Lin Yuan's strength had greatly increased, and so did the Spirits.
Complete space rules, combined with dozens of cosmic powers, meant a dimensional strike against other eighth-Rank invincibles.
"For the past two years, I've been comprehending fusion rules, combining space rules with Tai Chi rules and other cosmic powers, making significant progress. I can now use the new power of fusion rules."
Lin Yuan thought silently.
There were two benefits to this.
First, the power of fusion rules, even if not fully integrated, far exceeded single means.
Second, the fusion of cosmic power with space rules formed a new power, completely covering up Lin Yuan's mastery of dozens of cosmic powers.
At most, people would think his fused power was abnormally strong.
But in this aspect, unless they captured Lin Yuan for detailed study, they wouldn't reach any useful conclusions.
"Has the war not started yet?"
Lin Yuan glanced at the central position of the battlefield, where human civilization and the Tianyu Clan were confronting each other.
"It's about time to go."
Lin Yuan stood up; on an alien battlefield, teleportation was difficult, so he had to go early.
As for delaying the absorption of boundary-breaking source power? He didn't mind that little time.
As long as he successfully dealt with the Tianyu Clan, Lin Yuan would have plenty of time to absorb boundary-breaking source power here.
The Milky Way main star.
Lin Yuan sat cross-legged.
In front of him floated a crystalline, irregular shard.
If an eighth-Rank or even ninth-Rank evolver were here, they would notice the shard contained many rule auras.
Various rules flickered, perfectly merging together, then separating, repeating endlessly.
"This Chaos Crystal is truly wonderful, how can it perfectly merge so many rules..."
Lin Yuan was captivated.
The Chaos Crystal was the name of this crystalline, irregular shard.
It was a treasure Lin Yuan carefully selected from the reward pool of the humanoid statue Sheng Ji after passing the second floor of the Black Tower.
The origin of this Chaos Crystal was a mysterious place the Devil Jade Tower master accidentally found, always in a chaotic state, with many rules constantly merging and separating.
The Chaos Crystal replicated that scene, with gold, wood, water, fire, earth, light, thunder, yin, cold, life, space, even time—rules merging and separating.
After watching the reward pools for the second and third floors for a long time, Lin Yuan chose this Chaos Crystal on Sheng Ji's advice.
Watching and understanding this Chaos Crystal greatly helped Lin Yuan's upcoming fusion of Tai Chi rules and cosmic powers with space rules.
Ordinary evolvers, even eighth or ninth-Rank ones, would find it hard to comprehend much from this crystal.
But Lin Yuan, with his Unrivaled Insight, found the crystal's effects far beyond imagination.
In just two years, Lin Yuan's progress in rule fusion went from one-tenth to half.
Thanks to this Chaos Crystal.
In the Spirit Realm, Lin Yuan spent centuries to complete the first tenth of the fusion rule Rank.
"You have Unrivaled Insight, comprehending the mysterious crystal deepens your understanding of fusion rules..."
"You have Unrivaled Insight, comprehending the mysterious crystal deepens your understanding of fusion rules..."
"You have Unrivaled Insight, comprehending the mysterious crystal deepens your understanding of fusion rules..."
Lin Yuan focused most of his energy on comprehending the Chaos Crystal.
Choosing this crystal was not only to guide his fusion of rules but also because Lin Yuan sensed that even when he reached the ninth or tenth Rank.
This Chaos Crystal would still be highly effective.
After all, the rules merging in the Chaos Crystal included not only space rules and ordinary rules but also life and time rules.
Time rules, mastered by tenth or even eleventh-Rank experts, could grant near-immortality.
"How wonderful."
"Integrating space rules leads to such changes." Lin Yuan raised his right hand, intertwining strands of space power and Tai Chi power, slowly merging them.
When the fusion reached halfway, it suddenly shattered, returning to space and Tai Chi power.
However, Lin Yuan was not disappointed. Through brief fusion, he had no bottlenecks on the path ahead.
"And other cosmic powers."
Lin Yuan was about to try each one.
Suddenly.
Lin Yuan's expression changed slightly.
"Hmm!"
He looked up in a certain direction.
