Chapter 300: Anger

Shanhai Realm.

From the outside, the vast Void Sanctuary occupies only tens of thousands of li within the Void Sea, resembling an egg-shaped ellipsoid, constantly absorbing boundless primordial energy from the Void Sea to sustain its countless lifeforms.

After Shanhai Realm formed its own independent spacetime, even a Void Sovereign could not locate it unless they possessed sufficient understanding of spacetime; even if they found it, they could not enter unless they could manipulate spacetime.

Suddenly, a figure wrapped entirely in bandages appeared abruptly outside Shanhai Realm.

"Shanhai Realm… actually managed to form an independent spacetime…"

The Ancestor of Spacetime Island surveyed the sanctuary hidden deep within spacetime, his conviction growing stronger that the Level-3 civilization behind Shanhai Realm was no ordinary force.

A Level-2.9 civilization could break free from this spacetime and form an independent one by relying on its world's primordial essence, transformed through spacetime rules.

This is already the highest spatial structure within the universe; beyond it lies only a true miniature universe that has transcended the cosmos.

Yet Shanhai Realm's world primordial structure was plainly ordinary—yet it still achieved independent spacetime, clearly making it extraordinary.

"Still, even if independent, it remains spacetime within the universe…"

The Ancestor of Spacetime Island took a step forward; as spacetime twisted and warped around him, he silently traversed spacetime and slipped into Shanhai Realm.

…

At the peak of the towering, immense Buzhou Mountain within Shanhai Realm.

The Blood Cauldron King's avatar sat cross-legged, meditating alongside his original body to comprehend the extraordinarily complex and obscure will technique, "Illusory World Annihilation," to pass the trial as soon as possible.

He was not in a hurry to gather materials for forging his Life-Weapon; the top-tier life-based materials from the Void Sea had already been collected, and the rest could only be obtained through the Cosmic Star Patrol Alliance's channels—but he still needed sufficient points.

His current points were still far short; unless he could kill all Four Emperors and Seven Generals, his points would certainly be insufficient.

Yet the Four Emperors were already near the strength of Chaos Sons, and the Seven Generals were not far behind.

Even with the Blood Cauldron King's avatar's strength, it was insufficiently compatible with the Life-Weapon Silent Vacuum, and he could not pre-empt the technique; relying solely on combined divine arts, he could barely match the strength of the 21st Layer of the Star Abyss—nowhere near his original body.

This level of strength surpassed some among the Four Emperors and Seven Generals, but only slightly.

Moreover, these Void Pirates' power was immense, a major scourge of the Void Sea, with the shadow of the Chaos System's Primordial Deity behind them.

Before gaining sufficient strength, he dared not act rashly.

If his current strength could resolve this, Yuan Huang and the other Chaos Sons would have acted long ago.

The most crucial matter remains this will technique and the trial.

Suddenly—

"Hmm?"

As the sanctuary's master, even the avatar remained its master; yet now he sensed an transcendent aura abruptly appearing within Shanhai Realm.

"Could it be… a Transcendent?" Lin Qing's eyes flickered.

After Shanhai Realm broke free from spacetime, Void Divine Officials could not infiltrate; only true Transcendents who mastered spacetime could slip in unnoticed.

The next instant, the Ancestor of Spacetime Island appeared midair, smiling at him: "Young friend, hasn't it been over a hundred thousand years since we last met?"

"So it's the Ancestor of Spacetime Island."

Lin Qing spoke: "Ancestor, what brings you here? Why not send a message through the Second Cosmic Network, but instead manifest an avatar directly?"

"There is a pressing matter," said the Ancestor of Spacetime Island. "Young friend, are you aware that recently two Chaos Sons and two Star Gods with seven-colored divine cores have perished in the Void Sea?"

"Of course I know," Lin Qing replied, already sensing the Ancestor's intent. "Say what you wish to say plainly."

"Do you know that this unknown Chaos Son hails from a Transcendent-level civilization?"

The Ancestor of Spacetime Island said: "And with such strength, he is undoubtedly a top genius within his civilization, holding an exalted status. His goal is the Chaos God, and he has no interest in allying with any Chaos Sons in our Void Sea—he intends to eliminate anyone who might interfere with his passage through the Chaos God trial, including you."

"Oh?" Lin Qing nodded slowly. "Have you met him?"

"He nearly killed my disciple Torai, so I had contact with him."

The Ancestor of Spacetime Island sighed: "His strength is terrifying. As a Chaos Son, he has already reached the universe's upper limit—spacetime domains cannot touch him."

He shook his head slowly, looking at Lin Qing: "He agreed to one condition: if my disciple abandons the Chaos God trial, he will cease targeting him. I immediately thought of you, so I pleaded on your behalf as well—if you abandon the Chaos God trial, he will naturally leave you alone."

As he spoke, the Ancestor extended his hand, and a five-star contract floated gently toward Lin Qing.

"Young friend, if you sign this contract, you may henceforth walk the Void Sea in peace."

He spoke sincerely: "The path to the Chaos God is inherently illusory and unreachable. With your talent and civilization's foundation, even if you abandon this path, you will surely transcend the universe someday."

Lin Qing stared at the contract, fell silent for a moment, then suddenly laughed.

"What? Do you find something amiss, young friend?" The Ancestor of Spacetime Island regarded Lin Qing.

"Laughable. Laughable indeed."

Lin Qing shook his head slightly. "I never thought the Ancestor of the Sacred Spacetime Island would be so despicable and shameless."

"What?" The Ancestor's eyes shifted sharply.

"Last time you used your direct disciple to scheme against me, I tolerated it once."

Lin Qing's gaze turned icy as he mocked: "Now you come again? Do you truly think I have a gentle disposition? Hmm?"

At the Chaos God Council, Torai had declared he would henceforth remain secluded in his home civilization—yet he was attacked again, clearly because the Ancestor of Spacetime Island ordered him to leave!

When the other Chaos Son died, his master, the Ancestor of Tianyuan Throne, could not arrive in time—why could the Ancestor of Spacetime Island arrive in time?

Clearly, the Ancestor of Spacetime Island was using his disciple as bait!

Now, Lin Qing did not even need to think—he knew the Ancestor must have reached some agreement with that Immortal-level Chaos Son.

And now he dares deceive him here—how could he not be furious?

"Hmm?"

The Ancestor of Spacetime Island's eyes turned dangerously cold. His voice dripped with icy menace: "Young friend, have you lost your wits? How dare you speak to me so boldly? I advise you to choose your words carefully—if you accept my terms, I shall still treat you as a young friend. What do you say?"

As he spoke, the spacetime around him trembled faintly, as if suppressing an endless, towering tidal wave, ready to erupt at any moment.

"Young friend… hahaha…"

Lin Qing sneered, refusing to waste more words—he swept his sleeve, scoffing: "Get out, old immortal!"

As he spoke, the entire Shanhai Realm shuddered violently with his rage; boundless world energy and spacetime power descended and erupted, expelling the Ancestor of Spacetime Island outright.

The Ancestor of the Time-Space Island's expression changed slightly; before he could do anything, he was driven out of the Shanhai Realm!

In an instant, accompanied by changes in time and space, the Ancestor of the Time-Space Island appeared outside the Shanhai Realm, with layers of time-space power entangling boundless world power, completely sealing off the entire Shanhai Realm.

Even if the Ancestor of the Time-Space Island unfolded his time-space domain, penetrating it would still be difficult.

"This damned junior..."

The Ancestor of the Time-Space Island stared fixedly at the Shanhai Realm, his eyes filled with rage.

How many years had passed?

Since he opened the Time-Space Island Sacred Land, no one had ever dared to be so presumptuous toward him!

Yet this little fellow, born less than three hundred thousand years ago, actually dared to treat him this way?

Even with the best state of mind, having been praised to the clouds by countless people for countless years, he had long developed the habit of looking down on others; him voluntarily lowering his head to make peace was already the limit, so how could he allow himself to be insulted like this?

"Good... relying on an independent time-space, you plan to hide in your hometown?"

The Ancestor of the Time-Space Island stared coldly at the Shanhai Realm, "Then never come out!"

He reached out, and immediately a glass-like, spire-shaped domain divine artifact flew out, growing to several hundred kilometers in size, flying above the Shanhai Realm, then radiating boundless light, releasing a vast domain that overlapped with his time-space domain, covering the entire Shanhai Realm.

If an independent time-space is completely sealed, he indeed cannot enter, but the Lord of the Shanhai Realm is not a transcendent one; even trapped by his domain divine artifact, he cannot break free.

"Let's see where you can run to."

The Ancestor of the Time-Space Island's eyes were filled with coldness. "Even the time-space teleportation methods available only to Level Three civilizations cannot be used anymore. I will turn your Shanhai Realm into a death zone; let's see how you will achieve the status of a Chaos God??"

Moreover, he could sense over ninety-nine percent of the Void Sea at all times; as soon as Lin Qing appeared, he could naturally descend with a manifestation and strike!

Immediately, the Ancestor of the Time-Space Island sent a message to that Jin Jia youth:

"The Lord of the Shanhai Realm is indeed arrogant, but I have completely sealed off the world where he resides for you, young friend. If he dares to come out, he will die just the same."

He only needed one manifestation here to control this domain-type Chaos divine artifact; the consumption was extremely small.

Furthermore, this Chaos divine artifact had once been infused by him with countless treasures from beyond the universe, already possessing the foundation of a Universe Treasure.

Just one final push, and it could transform into a Universe Treasure.

However, the rare materials required for this step were absolute treasures beyond his wildest dreams; he did not dare to even think about them.

Shanhai Realm, the summit of Mount Buzhou.

Lin Qing stood on the summit, able to see the situation outside the Shanhai Realm through the world's origin.

However, his heart remained relatively calm.

"This old bastard..."

Lin Qing narrowed his eyes slightly. "Do you really think that by sealing off time and space, I cannot enter or exit?"

His true body and his Black Flame Clan manifestation are both in the Misty Star Sea right now!

That is the first mysterious place in the Void Sea, a place even the Ancestors of Sacred Lands cannot enter; as long as his manifestation hides there, unless the Great Nirvana arrives, no one can harm him!

He could completely create another manifestation to bring his true body and the Black Flame manifestation back.

He could also create another manifestation within the Misty Star Sea to send the Shanhai Realm manifestation over.

Although the Ancestor of the Time-Space Island would certainly watch the entire Void Sea constantly and descend to act as soon as he appeared, he already had a countermeasure.

If not for this, he naturally would not have torn up his face with the Ancestor of the Time-Space Island right now.

"Although I am safe for now, I still need strength..."

Lin Qing took a deep breath, maintaining the state of sealing the Shanhai Realm, restored some of the people who had discovered the Shanhai Realm's anomaly, and then continued to comprehend that incredibly profound Will Secret Art.

"Just a little more and I will enter the door..."

Tianyuan Seat Sacred Land, Chaos Hall.

"My Lord Mirror."

The Tianyuan Seat Ancestor, appearing as a gentle old man, quietly appeared inside the Chaos Hall, looked at the black-robed, white-haired woman within the hall, and spoke: "My rebellious disciple indeed acted against Lin Qing; he has already sealed off the Shanhai Realm."

My Lord Mirror turned her head slightly to look at him and said in a faint voice: "What? Little Tianyuan, are you starting to waver? Not knowing whether to befriend that Chaos Son from a Level Three civilization or to befriend Lin Qing?"

The Tianyuan Seat Ancestor fell silent for a moment, then said: "That foreign Chaos Son is indeed from a Level Three civilization, and his chances of achieving the status of a Chaos God are obviously much greater; if we befriend him, the path ahead will be easier..."

"Little Tianyuan, have you lost your calm too?" My Lord Mirror said faintly: "Although that person is from a Level Three civilization, his style of conduct is so cautious and careful, relying entirely on himself; obviously, his situation in his home civilization also has problems. Even if you help him, you may not get much return."

Hearing this, the Tianyuan Seat Ancestor fell silent for a long while before saying: "My Lord Mirror, I also thought of this point, but... can Lin Qing really become a Chaos God? Even if he has a fallen Primordial Realm behind him, we do not know when he will be able to help me; on the contrary, this foreign Chaos Son has more hope..."

Speaking here, he sighed.

"I will not disturb you; choose for yourself." My Lord Mirror said calmly: "You only have this last epoch's chance left; grasp it well, and do not let yourself regret it."

"Yes, My Lord Mirror." The Tianyuan Seat Ancestor nodded slowly.

The center of the Misty Star Sea.

On an island covered in blooming flowers, before that beautiful white wooden house, Lin Qing sat quietly in lotus position, lowering his eyes to comprehend.

Unknown how much time passed.

"Finally..."

Lin Qing slowly opened his eyes. "This Will Secret Art... I have finally entered the door."

This Will Secret Art was too profound and complex; merely comprehending its cultivation method was already incredibly difficult.

"Haha, it actually took thirteen thousand years..."

Lin Qing shook his head with a silent smile, then took a deep breath, and immediately shifted his mind: "Entropy Reverser, advance payment, Illusory World Great Extinction!"

The next moment, accompanied by a massive influx of mysterious information, his soul also began to undergo various strange changes silently.

This change was hidden and swift; in the blink of an eye, it was already over.

"It is done."

Lin Qing sensed his current soul and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

However, he glanced at the black-haired female Guardian, did not rush to speak, and instead began absorbing the fragrance of the Eternal Mist Flowers from the surroundings, starting to repay the debt of this Will Secret Art.

If he did not repay the debt now, once there were no more Eternal Mist Flowers, he would be unable to repay it later.
