Creating Heavenly Laws

Chapter 381

Boom! Boom! Boom!!!

Tuoba Ancient God was fleeing frantically, constantly under attack from Lin Yuan along the way.

Even with the protection of a defensive artifact, he was struggling to hold on.

Although Lin Yuan's strikes were blocked by the defensive artifact, with 99% of the force being absorbed, there was still a slight impact that penetrated through.

That "slight" impact was relative to the full force of Lin Yuan's attacks.

For Tuoba Ancient God, that minimal impact was enough to cause his internal organs to churn.

As the strikes accumulated, Tuoba Ancient God was gradually dragged into a state of severe injury.

"What kind of monster is this? Which eleventh-rank perfected lifeform from the universe is he?" Tuoba Ancient God felt deeply frustrated.

Facing Lin Yuan, he had no ability to resist at all. If it weren't for the protective defensive artifact, he would have been defeated long ago.

To have such power in just over a hundred years in this two-dimensional world, Tuoba Ancient God could only compare Lin Yuan to those legendary lifeforms at the pinnacle of the eleventh rank.

However, Tuoba Ancient God was puzzled. He had lived for eons, since the birth of the universe, and had heard of most powerful eleventh-rank lifeforms.

But Lin Yuan?

Tuoba Ancient God was only suspicious because, in the two-dimensional world, it was difficult to know the true identity of a cosmic figure unless they revealed it themselves.

The one ranked first, the "Divine King," was recognized due to his obvious external features and terrifying power.

As for the other powerful beings, they all came from various races and interacted with one another, making it hard to hide.

There were indeed some reclusive strong individuals from the myriad races who didn't concern themselves with worldly matters, but for someone like Lin Yuan, who had become this powerful without ever showing himself, it was extremely rare.

Behind Tuoba Ancient God, Lin Yuan followed closely.

"If it weren't for this two-dimensional world, I don't know how long it would have taken me to grow to the point where I could hunt down someone like Tuoba Ancient God," Lin Yuan thought to himself, feeling a little nostalgic. In this two-dimensional world, even an eleventh-rank peak lifeform was forcibly weakened.

This gave Lin Yuan the opportunity, in just over a hundred years, to surpass a special eleventh-rank lifeform like Tuoba Ancient God.

After all, anyone who could reach the eleventh rank was a peerless genius, far beyond the powerhouses from the other dimensions Lin Yuan had visited before.

"Now, it's time to end this."

Lin Yuan's gaze became slightly sharper.

Throughout the pursuit, every strike he landed on Tuoba Ancient God was gradually accumulating, with the residual force lurking deep inside Tuoba Ancient God's body.

Directly breaking through the defensive artifact to kill Tuoba Ancient God would take a lot of time.

But causing an internal explosion would be much faster.

From the very first strike on the defensive artifact, Lin Yuan had been preparing for this moment.

"Break."

Lin Yuan struck once more, his energy boiling over, and his blow pressed down on Tuoba Ancient God like an overturning heaven's seal.

"Again?"

Tuoba Ancient God's heart trembled. The residual energy from these attacks had already penetrated his defensive artifact and left him severely injured. Now, facing another strike from Lin Yuan, he instinctively felt fear.

"However, killing me completely is not going to be easy."

Tuoba Ancient God steadied himself. Though heavily injured, he was still alive. According to his current route, he only needed to endure for two more days.

Once he reached the base of the Stellar Alliance, he'd receive support from their powerful members and be much safer.

However—

Boom!

This strike landed on Tuoba Ancient God, hitting his defensive artifact.

The next moment, Tuoba Ancient God's expression changed drastically.

Lin Yuan's attack was similar to the previous ones, but under this blow, the residual force hidden within Tuoba Ancient God suddenly erupted.

In an instant, Tuoba Ancient God felt as though his insides were being torn apart.

"It's over."

Despair filled Tuoba Ancient God's heart.

Moments later, the accumulating force within him reached a peak, and his body exploded violently, sending blood splattering.

Tuoba Ancient God had lost everything.

Throughout it all, the thought of revenge against the one who had killed his clone never crossed Tuoba Ancient God's mind.

Revenge?

Without the aid of an artifact, that mysterious being from the myriad races had easily killed him in the two-dimensional world.

Tuoba Ancient God instinctively believed that in the vast universe, that mysterious being must also be an eleventh-rank perfected powerhouse.

Revenge against such a figure would be impossible unless he himself became an ultimate being.

Otherwise, there was no hope.

Meanwhile, as time passed, the news of the four special lifeforms killed by Lin Yuan, as well as Tuoba Ancient God and Pei Shen, began to spread. Videos of the battles, reconstructed from their memories, circulated among the myriad races' powerful individuals.

On a silent lake.

A man with four arms sat on the surface of the water.

"Divine King," murmured several figures standing respectfully on the shore.

In both the two-dimensional world and the outside universe, the mere presence of the Divine King filled even eleventh-rank beings with despair.

The Divine King was overwhelmingly powerful.

A century ago, the Tianyu race had poured all their power into the two-dimensional world, attempting to kill the Divine King early on.

But they had failed.

Not only had they failed, but the Tianyu race had almost been wiped out.

As a result, the Tianyu race in this two-dimensional world had been left in ruins, losing their chance to leave through the Heavenly Gate when it opened in two or three hundred years.

"The mysterious individual who killed Tuoba Ancient God, Pei Shen, and the other special lifeforms—those beings had already pledged allegiance to the Stellar Alliance," a tall man on the shore cautiously said.

"What? You want me to fight that mysterious figure?" The Divine King opened his eyes, his voice icy.

"This matter is over," he glanced at the figures on the shore, "That mysterious individual, based on the battle footage, is not much weaker than I am."

"Now that he has acquired both a defensive artifact and an offensive artifact, even if I fought him at full strength, I may not be able to kill him."

After a moment's pause, the Divine King added, "There are still two hundred years until the Heavenly Gate opens. During this time, I need to focus on my cultivation breakthrough. Do not disturb me with anything else."

"Yes," the figures on the shore responded, their hearts trembling.

Even the Divine King wasn't confident in defeating the mysterious figure?

"And one more thing," said the Divine King, "If you encounter that mysterious figure, make sure you run far away." With that warning, he closed his eyes again.

Deep inside a volcano, next to bubbling magma, an elderly man sat.

"Hmm?" The small old man pondered as he watched the battle footage of Lin Yuan. "I wonder which old friend this is?"

In the two-dimensional world, combat was vastly different from the main universe, making it difficult to identify someone based solely on their fighting style.

But the strength Lin Yuan had displayed was enough for the old man to conclude that Lin Yuan was also an eleventh-rank perfected lifeform, just like him.

"Oh well."

"It's been a while since I've gone out. Maybe I'll grab a few artifacts to play with."

The small old man made his decision and left the volcano.

Deep underground, after killing Tuoba Ancient God and the others, Lin Yuan didn't immediately return to the Luo Chuan base.

Instead, he hid here, counting his gains.

"This mirror?"

Lin Yuan flipped his right hand, and the silver mirror appeared.

The entire mirror was silver, with a mysterious aura flowing around it.

"What is this?"

Lin Yuan studied it carefully, his expression shifting slightly.
