Chapter 304: Chaos-Colored Divine Seed

Sky Eye Sea.

Deep within the massive crack above the firmament, endless energy storms brew at all times; from afar, it looks like a giant eye gazing down upon this sea below, hence the name Sky Eye Sea.

A man with black skin and a single horn was flying slowly above the Sky Eye Sea, simultaneously watching the Sky Eye above, seemingly waiting for treasures to spew forth from it.

Those Void Sovereigns searching for treasures in the Sky Eye Sea, upon seeing him, all withdrew in awe, daring not to compete for the spoils in the slightest.

After all, this Child of Chaos from the Sacred Land of the Time Island, "Torei," was hailed as the peak powerhouse of the Void Sea!

Yet they did not know that at this moment, this Child of Chaos felt somewhat worried in his heart.

"Why did my Master specifically send me to the Sky Eye Sea to seek treasures?"

The black-skinned man with a single horn frowned. "Could it be to lure out that Lin Qing?"

He knew that his Master and that Jin Jia Child of Chaos had joined forces; his Master had even helped that person eliminate another Child of Chaos and several Star Gods with seven-colored Divine Seeds.

Now, only the Child of Chaos from the Pantheon and Lin Qing remained as threats.

But the Child of Chaos from the Pantheon was of average strength, merely at the peak of the Twenty-First Layer of the Yu Xingyuan, far inferior even to him; in terms of threat, he was nowhere near the Lord of the Mountain and Sea Realm, whose potential was astonishing.

"But relying solely on Lin Qing's strength, he shouldn't be able to deal with me..."

The black-skinned man with a single horn found it hard to understand. "Lin Qing's strength back then was only at the Twenty-First Layer of the Yu Xingyuan; even with the inheritance of secret arts from a Level Three Civilization, he couldn't be much stronger than me, right..."

He only knew that the Origin-level secret arts of a Level Three Civilization were extremely powerful, but he had never heard of an inheritance as unimaginable as the Supreme Secret Arts.

Yet he did not know that at this moment, not far from him, a figure was hiding deep within distorted space-time, quietly observing him.

"Torei, the former strongest Child of Chaos, slightly stronger than the Yuan Emperor, considered quite good even among those at the Twenty-Second Layer of the Yu Xingyuan..."

Lin Qing narrowed his eyes, silently calculating and simulating in his mind. "My Divine Artifacts are in the Mountain and Sea Realm; relying solely on my own strength, I am slightly inferior to Torei. However, I possess the Supreme Secret Art 'Infinite Divine Light,' which is enough to kill him, though it will be troublesome..."

A Void Divine Servant, if possessing genes at the universe's limit combined with a Supreme Secret Art, can reach the universe's upper limit of the Twenty-Fourth Layer of the Yu Xingyuan!

Yet he was not a Void Divine Servant, so the domain manifested by the Supreme Secret Art 'Infinite Divine Light' only possessed the strength of the Twenty-Third Layer of the Yu Xingyuan.

A domain at this level could not directly crush a powerhouse like Torei.

There was no help for it; domains were inherently good at suppression and group battles, but not at offensive killing.

If it were an offensive-killing type of Supreme Secret Art, perhaps one strike would be enough to annihilate Torei.

"But... I still have the Illusory World Great Extinction!"

Lin Qing gazed at the distant Torei, a flash of cold light passing through his eyes; simultaneously, his mind shifted—

"Boom!"

In an instant, a boundless illusory world suddenly descended into reality, directly enveloping the distant Torei, beginning to seal and suppress his consciousness!

At the same time, accompanied by an incredibly terrifying aura suddenly erupting, brilliant and dazzling beams flew out from within Lin Qing's body; they were clearly transformed from Divine Artifacts, scattering instantly, causing space-time itself to subtly stagnate and solidify!

Torei felt as if he had fallen into a boundless illusory world; his control and perception of the energy within his body instantly became extremely difficult and arduous.

Even though his willpower was only a hair's breadth away from the 'True Transformation' level of the universe's upper limit, he still could not break free from the bonds of this world at this moment!

In just an instant, he felt that even if he exerted all his strength, he could probably exert no more than ten percent of his power.

At the same time, an invisible pressure of space-time descended; the terrifying domain power suppressed space-time, and his already meager remaining strength could not even move a finger at this moment!

He even felt that if he were any weaker, he would probably be crushed to death on the spot by this terrifying domain!

Not only was the energy within his body almost completely stagnant, but his innate Chaos Divine Artifact set, which constantly protected him, was also struggling to sustain itself.

In the blink of an eye, he had become a lamb awaiting slaughter.

"Who is it?"

The black-skinned man with a single horn's eyes were filled with incredulity and disbelief. "Without even revealing himself, relying solely on a domain and consciousness attack, he has completely stripped me of my ability to resist? Lin Qing? How is that possible?!"

Then, he saw a figure emerging from within the distorted space-time appear before his eyes.

That familiar aura and appearance made him freeze completely.

"Lin... Lin Qing?"

Torei was utterly shocked in his heart; at the same time, he desperately called out to the Ancestor of the Time Island through his thoughts: "Master, save me!"

At this moment, a time mark that had long been left on him suddenly erupted with a shocking fluctuation; a rift in space-time slowly opened as a result.

In the blink of an eye, the true body of the Ancestor of the Time Island could descend through this rift in space-time!

But, it was already too late.

In an instant, Lin Qing had transformed into a wisp of dark light of extinction, silently passing through Torei's defenseless body, completely annihilating him; at the same time, a five-colored Divine Seed flew out, its aura completely enveloping Torei.

"No..."

Torei's unwilling consciousness then dissipated.

Lin Qing paid no further attention; he had no patience to deal with Torei's Chaos Divine Artifact set, which was crumbling along with its master, nor did he bother to collect Torei's remains. He simply retracted the Divine Seed that was undergoing a frenzied transformation, then turned into a gray, wild wind, directly vanishing into the depths of distorted space-time.

Everything had happened in the blink of an eye.

Only after Lin Qing had vanished into space-time, completely gone without a trace, did the rift in space-time fully open; from within it flew the Ancestor of the Time Island and that Jin Jia youth.

"Damn it..."

The Ancestor of the Time Island looked around with a grim expression, but could find no trace of Lin Qing; he only discovered that his disciple had been completely annihilated.

He did not pursue either; after all, with the same space-time domain concealment, unless he arrived in person and kept watch constantly, he would lose track. But the opponent had already fled to who knows where; how could he be found?

"Your disciple was killed in an instant?"

The Jin Jia youth frowned. "He couldn't even last the time it took to open the rift in space-time?"

"How is that possible?" The Ancestor of the Time Island frowned tightly. "According to what Your Highness said, even if that Lin Qing possesses a domain-type Supreme Secret Art, with strength enough to crush my disciple, he still shouldn't be able to annihilate him instantly. His own strength is only at the Twenty-First Layer of the Yu Xingyuan, right?"

"Does this even need asking?"

The Jin Jia youth spoke with a cold face: "He must possess other means, such as soul attacks? Or some kind of offensive-killing type Supreme Secret Art!"

"Two Supreme Secret Arts..." The Ancestor of the Time Island couldn't help but take a deep breath.

As the Ancestor of a Sacred Land, he didn't even possess a single Origin-level secret art, let alone the legendary Supreme Secret Arts; yet this Lin Qing actually had two Supreme Secret Arts?

This made him once again feel regret in his heart; perhaps... offending this Lin Qing was truly a wrong choice?

But he could no longer turn back.

"This Lin Qing is indeed extraordinary."

The Jin Jia youth spoke in a heavy voice: "Born in the True Universe with only a dilapidated Primordial Realm inheritance, never even visiting a good treasure land, with ordinary resources, yet he managed to cultivate two Supreme Secret Arts. Truly baffling. I suppose I am just unlucky..."

He had never even considered that the other Secret Art was not a Supreme Secret Art, but an even more terrifying Will Secret Art created by the Future World God!

After all, Will Secret Arts were rare to begin with, and this one created by the Future World God was so difficult that not many in the various Level Three Civilizations had succeeded in cultivating it!

So he simply never thought in that direction.

"Your Highness?"

The Time-Space Island Ancestor also sensed that this Highness seemed to harbor some regret, causing his heart to jump in alarm. Could it be that this Highness intended to give up?

Although he did not understand Level Three Civilizations, according to his thinking, with so many Void Seas in the universe, if one Lin Qing had emerged from this Void Sea, they could simply switch to another Void Sea, could they not?

So he was also very worried.

"I know that this Lin Qing must be killed."

The Jin Jia youth took a deep breath. "It is nothing. Even with two Supreme Secret Arts, this Lin Qing is still no match for me. I can still deal with him; it is just a pity, that is all."

Actually, there was another sentence in his heart.

If he were not temporarily unable to return to the Immortal Realm and could only become a Chaos God in this Void Sea, he would definitely choose to turn enemies into friends with Lin Qing and become a Chaos God in another Void Sea.

But now, that was impossible.

"It is indeed a pity."

The Time-Space Island Ancestor secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "However, such a person as an enemy must be eliminated as soon as possible."

"Eliminating him now is best," the Jin Jia youth said in a heavy voice. "This Lin Qing now possesses a Chaos-colored Divine Core. Perhaps his luck is simply very good, and perhaps he has already nearly gathered the materials for forging. Once he forges his Life-Bound Divine Artifact, as long as he cowers in his Home World, killing him will become somewhat difficult for me."

The Time-Space Island Ancestor understood his meaning.

As the Master of the Secret Realm, he would have the support of the World Origin within his Home World.

Once supported by the World Origin, his own strength could rise by one level. If his strength was originally at the twenty-third layer of the Yu Xingyuan, it could be raised to the universe's upper limit!

The Time-Space Island Ancestor pondered for a moment and said, "However, since that Lin Qing has mastered two great Supreme Secret Arts, does Your Highness still have confidence in killing him?"

"Of course."

The Jin Jia youth glanced at him and said in a calm voice: "Secret Arts are external forces; the World Origin cannot support them. The Supreme Secret Arts he casts outside are at the twenty-third layer of power, and they are the same within his Home World."

He paused and said, "That Lin Qing is currently only at the twenty-third layer of the Yu Xingyuan in terms of Domain and offensive killing power, while his own strength barely reaches the peak of the twenty-first layer of the Yu Xingyuan. Even with the support of his Home World's Origin, he is far inferior to me. Even if I am suppressed by his Domain, I can still kill him!"

The universe's upper limit, which is the baseline of the twenty-fourth layer of the Yu Xingyuan, just touches the threshold of the twenty-fourth layer.

And his own bloodline already surpasses the universe's limit. Not only does he cultivate Supreme Secret Arts, but crucially, his Life-Bound Divine Artifact is also a Half-Step Universe Supreme Treasure!

Therefore, he belongs to that comprehensive universe-limit level; only his Domain is weak.

And Lin Qing, comprehensively speaking, barely reaches the strength of the twenty-third layer of the Yu Xingyuan. How could he be a match?

"It is good that Your Highness has confidence."

The Time-Space Island Ancestor breathed a slight sigh of relief and immediately asked, "Does Your Highness mean that we should continue to ambush this Lin Qing at the Emperor of Yue?"

"No," the Jin Jia youth said coldly. "Go to the Mountain and Sea World."

"The Mountain and Sea World?" The Time-Space Island Ancestor was slightly stunned and said, "At this moment, I have already sealed the Mountain and Sea World. That Lin Qing cannot return via space-time transmission."

"Destroy the Mountain and Sea World first," the Jin Jia youth said coldly. "Does he not have a clone remaining in the Mountain and Sea World? If he is someone who cares for his home, seeing the Mountain and Sea World about to be destroyed, he will inevitably return to the Mountain and Sea World through his clone. If he does not return, then we will destroy the Mountain and Sea World!"

"Destroy the Mountain and Sea World?" The Time-Space Island Ancestor fell silent for a moment.

His plan had always been to kill Lin Qing first, wait until the Mountain and Sea World had no master, and then find a way to obtain the Primordial Realm inheritance of the Mountain and Sea World.

"Stop thinking about it. The Primordial Realm now only has the Great Vacuum Tomb remaining," the Jin Jia youth said indifferently. "With your ability, you cannot obtain the Great Vacuum Tomb."

"... Very well."

The Time-Space Island Ancestor took a deep breath and said, "However, that old thief Tianyuan Seat has not responded to me yet. It is hard to say whether he will intervene to help Lin Qing, so I can only find an opportunity to assist Your Highness."

The Jin Jia youth said in a calm voice, "As long as you can block that Tianyuan Seat Ancestor, it is enough. I alone am sufficient to kill that Lin Qing."

"Your Highness rest assured, I will do my utmost," the Time-Space Island Ancestor said, nodding.

In the endless sea hundreds of billions of li away.

In the hidden space-time, Lin Qing flew at extreme speed while sensing the Divine Core in his mind that had already completed its transformation.

His Divine Core transformed from five colors to six, then seven. Now, the seven colors merged into one, becoming a grayish Divine Core that was emitting a chaotic, indistinct, and ignorant aura.

This meant he was truly the Child of Chaos!

One of the conditions to become a Chaos God is this Chaos-colored Divine Core.

After he plants soul imprints on ten thousand life-type Void Stars and 380 life-type Main Stars, he can ascend to that unique Supreme Star and undergo the Chaos God trial!

Most importantly, he can now forge his set of Life-Bound Chaos Divine Artifacts!

"However, the artifact-forging materials I collected are all in the Mountain and Sea World, and that drop of Universe God's Blood is with my clone in the Misty Star Sea, yet the Mountain and Sea World has been completely sealed by the Time-Space Island Ancestor..."

Lin Qing frowned slightly. "I cannot return for now. Even if I use my current Space-Time Domain to approach secretly, I am definitely no match for the Time-Space Island Ancestor's avatar."

A Transcendent, even a single avatar, possesses strength at the universe-limit level, while the true body can even exceed the universe limit!

"If I want to return, I can only seek help from a Life-type Main God or the Tianyuan Seat Ancestor..." Lin Qing pondered silently.

He immediately used the Second Universe Network number of the Tianyuan Seat Ancestor obtained from the simulated future to begin contacting this most ancient Ancestor.

Currently, he was most confident in persuading this Tianyuan Seat Ancestor.

Just at this moment—

"Hm?"

Lin Qing's face changed slightly, and a trace of anger surfaced in his eyes. "They are going to make a move on the Mountain and Sea World?"
