Creating Heavenly Laws

Chapter 232

"Speak."

Seeing the hesitant demeanor of the black-haired elder, the Prince of Wan Yang did not blame him.

Now that he saw hope in catching up with the Thirteenth Peak Master, comprehending the body of a powerful being would definitely resonate with him.

Then, with the help of his own Nine Yang Divine Veins, crossing into the Seventh Rank within a hundred years was not a joke.

As for the Eighth Rank after the Seventh, the Prince of Wan Yang had not considered it yet; the Eighth Rank was still too far for him.

Spiritual will index, inner world, physical and soul perfection, none were fulfilled.

Now the Prince of Wan Yang's gaze was entirely focused on the Seventh Rank. As long as he could step into the Seventh Rank, he would have narrowed the gap with the Thirteenth Peak Master.

"Don't worry, there's no bad news now that can shake my mood."

Seeing the black-haired elder still hesitating, the Prince of Wan Yang said calmly.

What is called living through long years and tempering one's mental strength is essentially experiencing great ups and downs.

The peril of life and death is no exception.

Upon learning that the Thirteenth Peak Master had reached the Seventh Rank, the Prince of Wan Yang was once in despair, even risking his life to practice in seclusion within the star.

This was the 'down'.

But now, learning that it was possible to comprehend the body of a powerful being, and having hope of catching up with the Thirteenth Peak Master, this was the 'up'.

Great ups and downs, great downs and ups.

It's just that.

"It's bad news related to the Thirteenth Peak Master."

The black-haired elder cautiously said, well aware of how much the Prince of Wan Yang desired to catch up with the Thirteenth Peak Master.

But the news he just learned was, for the Prince of Wan Yang, somewhat too cruel.

"The Thirteenth Peak Master?"

The Prince of Wan Yang's expression became slightly more solemn.

Bad news related to the Thirteenth Peak Master? Could it be that he has already reached the peak of the Seventh Rank?

This was indeed not good news.

In such a short time, from the early stage of the Seventh Rank to the peak, truly worthy of being the Thirteenth Peak Master he wanted to catch up to.

At this rate, a hundred years later, wouldn't the Thirteenth Peak Master have a chance to reach the rank of King in the Seventh Rank?

Even then, if everything went smoothly for him, he would only be at the early stage of the Seventh Rank, and the gap with the Thirteenth Peak Master would still be considerable.

Thinking of this, the Prince of Wan Yang couldn't help but feel some pressure.

"I received news that the Thirteenth Peak Master... seems to have reached the Eighth Rank."

The black-haired elder gathered courage and spoke out the news he had just received.

Even if he didn't say it, as long as the Prince of Wan Yang's consciousness was connected to the virtual network, he could still find out.

"The Thirteenth Peak Master reached the Eighth Rank. What did you say? At which Rank did he reach?"

The Prince of Wan Yang was still contemplating how to quickly advance towards the King level of the Seventh Rank a hundred years later. Upon hearing the words of the black-haired elder, he almost thought he was hallucinating.

Eighth Rank?

The Thirteenth Peak Master reached the Eighth Rank?

The Prince of Wan Yang's mind went blank.

It wasn't until the black-haired elder repeated it several times that the Prince of Wan Yang barely recovered.

"Where did this news come from?"

The Prince of Wan Yang's first reaction was disbelief.

From the Seventh to the Eighth Rank was a major bottleneck.

If, before he went into seclusion, the Thirteenth Peak Master had already reached the peak of the Seventh Rank King level, then breaking through to the Eighth Rank now would be considered normal.

But the Thirteenth Peak Master had clearly just crossed into the Seventh Rank not long ago.

In such a short time, crossing three major thresholds of spiritual will index, inner world, and physical and soul perfection? Was he still human?

Was he still human?!

"Your Highness, this news came from the Red Kun Main Star. On the central continent of the main star, there was a fluctuation of Qi indicating a breakthrough from the Seventh to the Eighth Rank, and only the Thirteenth Peak Master met the conditions for such a breakthrough."

The black-haired elder spoke truthfully.

"Indeed, there is a possibility of misinformation."

The Prince of Wan Yang immediately inquired.

He really didn't want to believe that the Thirteenth Peak Master had already reached the Eighth Rank.

This made his previous behavior of risking his life in seclusion seem ridiculous.

To catch up with the Thirteenth Peak Master? With what?

"There is indeed a possibility of misinformation."

The black-haired elder thought for a moment and nodded.

"Your Highness, if the Thirteenth Peak Master really breaks through to the Eighth Rank, the Red Kun Lineage will soon issue a statement, and everything will be clear then."

The black-haired elder said.

"Then we'll wait."

The Prince of Wan Yang remained silent for a moment before speaking.

"Good."

"We'll wait."

The black-haired elder nodded.

Red Kun Main Star.

Thirteenth Peak.

Lin Yuan sat cross-legged.

At this moment, his aura was profound, like a celestial body, beginning to influence the surroundings.

An Eighth Rank evolver, after undergoing extreme transformation of the body and soul, coupled with the opening of the inner world, if not restrained, would indeed be no different from those celestial bodies.

"So this is the Eighth Rank?"

Lin Yuan carefully sensed the new power within him.

Although at the Seventh Rank, relying on his vast inner world, Lin Yuan could overpower most Eighth Rank evolvers.

But that was only in terms of strength; the subtleties of realm, Lin Yuan now truly felt.

The greatest trump card of an Eighth Rank evolver was the inner world, but this didn't mean that an Eighth Rank evolver only relied on the inner world.

"The cultivation of the Eighth Rank is mainly divided into four stages: the initial stage, the middle stage, the later stage, and the extreme stage."

Lin Yuan was very clear about how to proceed on the path ahead.

In fact, there was a fifth stage of the Eighth Rank.

That would be the Invincible Eighth Rank.

Essentially, the Invincible Eighth Rank was still within the fourth stage.

Evolvers at the Invincible Eighth Rank, such as the Red Kun Star Lord, the Golden Dragon Star Lord, the Wan Yang Star Lord, etc., had mastered a power that surpassed the Eighth Rank.

With this power, the Invincible Eighth Rankers can crush any Eighth Rank Evolver.

Of course, there are subtle differences in strength among the Invincible Eighth Rankers, but in one-on-one combat, it is nearly impossible for one to defeat another.

This is why such strong individuals are called Invincible Eighth Rankers.

Unless a Ninth Rank steps in, the Invincible Eighth Rankers are essentially unbeatable.

Even if faced with a group of Invincible Eighth Rankers, they can easily retreat unscathed.

"Teacher, being an Invincible Eighth Ranker, has a power that surpasses the Eighth Rank. It should be related to the Star-sea kun" Lin Yuan thought to himself.

Each Invincible Eighth Ranker is unique, and it is impossible for them to possess exactly the same power.

Lin Yuan felt the changes in himself slightly before standing up and walking out of the grand hall.

Outside the hall, the Red Kun Star Lord and the Grand Peak Lord had been waiting for a long time.

The Red Kun Star Lord was the first to notice the disturbance caused by Lin Yuan's breakthrough, followed by the Grand Peak Lord.

"My dear disciple, have you already stepped into the Eighth Rank?"

The Red Kun Star Lord carefully examined Lin Yuan and shook his head slightly, saying:

"How many years did it take for me to step into the Eighth Rank? Eight thousand years? Or was it ten thousand years?"

As a special life form with peak bloodline, the Star-sea Kun is born with an internal world, so stepping into the Eighth Rank was much easier for the Red Kun Star Lord compared to human evolvers.

"Teacher, I have been at the Seventh Rank for nearly a hundred thousand years. Compared to my junior brother, I feel like these years have been wasted," the Grand Peak Lord said, slightly aggrieved.

Although he had long known that comparing himself to a monstrous talent like his junior brother was futile, seeing his junior brother step into the Eighth Rank so easily still made his heart ache.

However, despite what he said, the Grand Peak Lord felt fortunate that he had stepped into the Eighth Rank earlier. Otherwise, wouldn't he be surpassed by his junior brother?

"Teacher, Senior Brother," Lin Yuan said, smiling at the Red Kun Star Lord and the Grand Peak Lord.

"Junior Brother, how do you feel now?" the Grand Peak Lord asked.

"Very special," Lin Yuan replied, squinting his eyes as he sensed his surroundings.

"How about we clash with our world power? That way, you'll become more familiar with the power of the Eighth Rank," the Grand Peak Lord eagerly suggested.

When he had just stepped into the Eighth Rank, the Red Kun Star Lord had given him an unforgettable impression with his world power.

Although it had greatly helped him master his own world power, the experience was extraordinarily memorable.

"Clash with world power?" The Red Kun Star Lord glanced at the Grand Peak Lord but said nothing.

"Okay," Lin Yuan nodded.

In fact, before breaking into the Seventh Rank, he had already opened up his internal world at the peak of the Sixth Rank, but he had never fought other Eighth Rank evolvers since then.

Now that his senior brother volunteered to be his sparring partner, Lin Yuan naturally did not refuse.

"Junior Brother, be careful. Although I haven't been in the Eighth Rank for long, I am still more familiar with it than you," the Grand Peak Lord reminded, understanding that this might be his last chance to be on equal footing with his junior brother. With his junior brother's talent, he would soon be left far behind.

Rumble.

The Grand Peak Lord activated his world power, an invisible force spreading out. Even when suppressed, this terrifying power could easily crush Sixth and Seventh Rank evolvers.

"Hmm?"

As the Grand Peak Lord's world power enveloped Lin Yuan, he felt as if he was trying to cover a black hole.

Rumble.

A force far exceeding the limits of the Grand Peak Lord's world power spread out from Lin Yuan, radiating in all directions.

"What?"

The Grand Peak Lord's face changed. He sensed an immense and boundless power that rendered his world power utterly powerless.

The two forces were not even on the same level.

"Stop, stop, stop."

The Grand Peak Lord quickly called out.

"This kind of world power?"

The Grand Peak Lord couldn't believe it. He recognized the force that had overwhelmed his world power as world power, but it was far stronger than his.

Even though it didn't exert as much pressure as the Red Kun Star Lord's, it far surpassed other Eighth Rank evolvers.

"Junior Brother, how vast is your internal world?" The Grand Peak Lord swallowed hard. The strength of world power depends on the foundation of one's internal world.

Lin Yuan's world power was far stronger than his, indicating that his internal world was vastly superior.

But hadn't Lin Yuan just broken through?

The Grand Peak Lord couldn't comprehend it and could only attribute it to his monstrous junior brother.

"Alright, your junior brother was already holding back," the Red Kun Star Lord said, shaking his head.

Before stepping into the Eighth Rank, Lin Yuan's internal world already exceeded one hundred thousand miles in radius. Now, it was at least over two hundred thousand miles.

If Lin Yuan didn't hold back during a spar with the Grand Peak Lord, the latter would be instantly suppressed.

"Holding back?"

"He was still fucking holding back!?"

The Grand Peak Lord muttered to himself but knew the teacher wouldn't lie. Even as a new Eighth Ranker, his junior brother's strength far exceeded his.

"Alright, my dear disciple, first get familiar with the Eighth Rank's realm. We'll talk about other things later," the Red Kun Star Lord advised.

"Also, I will have someone announce your breakthrough to the Eighth Rank," the Red Kun Star Lord said.

He mainly needed to confirm this to old friends who kept messaging him, asking if it was true that the Thirteenth Peak Lord had broken into the Eighth Rank.

"Thank you, Teacher," Lin Yuan said, nodding.

News of Lin Yuan's breakthrough to the Eighth Rank was soon officially confirmed by an announcement from the Red Kun Lineage.

There was no need to conceal it. As one of the most powerful peak races, human civilization has a method of 'resurrection' as a trump card.

When breaking through from the Fifth Rank to the Sixth Rank, the essence of life is not strong enough, so one must hide their identity. After all, no matter how talented a Fifth Rank Evolver is, they do not meet the criteria for resurrection.

If they die, they are truly dead.

But at the Eighth Rank, not to mention the cost for foreign races to assassinate an Eighth Ranker, most Eighth Rank Evolvers in human civilization have the technique of creating a clone.

Even if an assassination is successful, the strongest ones will bring them back to life.

Resurrecting an Eighth Ranker is not a major expense for the strongest, though for the strongest ones, even the smallest expense is a significant cost for lower-rank evolvers.

The geniuses of those powerful races must be cautious because their races do not have the strongest ones to ensure their resurrection. They have to seek help from peak races for resurrection.

But whether the strongest ones from peak races are willing to help is another matter.

"The Red Kun Lineage has announced that the one who broke through to the Eighth Rank is indeed the Thirteenth Peak Lord."

"My heavens, how old is the Thirteenth Peak Lord? And he's already at the Eighth Rank?"

"When I was the same age as the Thirteenth Peak Lord, I was still playing around at the First and Second Ranks."

The entire star alliances were shaken. Some had wondered if there might be a mistake since there had been no official announcement from the Red Kun Lineage, so the one who broke through might not be the Thirteenth Peak Lord.

But now, it is confirmed.

Wan Yang Star Domain.

The Prince of Wan Yang was closely monitoring the Red Kun Lineage.

He knew almost instantly when the announcement was made.

"So it's true that the Thirteenth Peak Lord has broken into the Eighth Rank?"

The Prince of Wan Yang thought silently.

During the wait, he had already accepted most of the possibility. Seeing the announcement, he actually felt relieved.

"Your Highness, are you alright?" a black-haired elder beside him asked with concern.

Even he was full of disbelief when he learned that the Thirteenth Peak Lord had broken into the Eighth Rank.

How much more so for the Prince of Wan Yang, who had set the Thirteenth Peak Lord as his goal?

"Your Highness, there's no need for you to chase after the Thirteenth Peak Lord. Sometimes these prodigies are beyond reason," the black-haired elder tried to comfort his lord.

"I understand," the Prince of Wan Yang sighed.

If the Thirteenth Peak Lord were still at the Seventh Rank, even at the king level of the Seventh Rank, the Prince of Wan Yang would feel immense pressure.

But now that the Thirteenth Peak Lord had stepped into the Eighth Rank, the Prince of Wan Yang suddenly felt the pressure lift, because from now on, there was no point in chasing the Thirteenth Peak Lord.

He couldn't catch up.

Red Kun Main Star.

First Peak.

The newly joined member Feng Yu looked at the announcement from the Red Kun Lineage and fell into silence.
