“Milky Way Saint, are you not going to come out and meet us?”
The terrifying voice rippled through spacetime, and in that moment, every living being on the Milky Way Chaos Continent heard it in their ears.
In fact, not just the Milky Way Chaos Continent—vast stretches of surrounding void were enveloped by the voice. As a Supreme Saint, the emaciated figure’s shout had spread incredibly far.
The bald man beside him remained calm and said nothing.
Although Milky Way Saint wasn’t yet a Supreme Saint, based on his performance in the Mysterious Emperor Universe, he was likely close.
While the two Supreme Saints didn’t fear him, they also wouldn’t carelessly enter the Milky Way Chaos Continent.
The continent was Milky Way Saint’s domain, established by him. Within it, he could exert even greater power, while outsiders would be suppressed.
With such a clear advantage for Lin Yuan, the bald man naturally wouldn’t step in lightly.
In their eyes, Milky Way Saint was still just a Chaos Great Saint. They were Supreme Saints, and more importantly, followers of Supreme Saint Rahu.
Rahu Saint was on the verge of sweeping through the Chaos Void and proving himself invincible. As his subordinates, their status far surpassed that of ordinary Saints. There was no need to be overly courteous with Milky Way Saint.
Invincible Supreme Saints were exceedingly rare across eras of the Chaos Void—but once one appeared, they reigned absolutely supreme.
Neither His Majesty Mysterious Sovereign nor the Lord of Devil Jade Tower cared much about other Saints after becoming Invincible Supreme Saints.
“Who’s demanding that Milky Way Saint come out?”
“A Supreme Saint—this kind of temporal suppression could only come from one.”
“A Supreme Saint wants to see Milky Way Saint?”
On the Milky Way Chaos Continent, countless powerful beings looked toward the source of the voice. Many peak Chaos-level powerhouses clearly sensed the spatial-temporal suppression and deduced that a Supreme Saint had arrived.
Even without feeling the pressure, many had guessed as much.
After all, who else but a Supreme Saint would dare speak to Milky Way Saint like that?
Everyone knew Milky Way Saint had the power to suppress other Chaos Saints—Dual-Source Saint and Heiyao Saint were prime examples.
“Those two youngsters?”
Far in the distance, several special entities projected their consciousness, observing the two Supreme Saints—the emaciated one and the bald one—from afar.
In the minds of many such entities, Lin Yuan was likely among the top five, if not top three, Invincible Supreme Saints in the history of the Chaos Void—so naturally, they paid close attention to him.
Especially after he recently evolved the Chaos Power Path and engraved it into the Chaos Void itself. That feat alone implied he had reached, or even become, an Invincible Supreme Saint.
“Those two likely have some connection to Rahu.”
“Rahu, huh? If nothing unexpected happened, he’s probably mastered that inheritance and gained the power of an Invincible Supreme Saint. Too bad... this era has Milky Way Saint.”
One of the special entities’ consciousnesses gently shook its head.
Normally, in the Chaos Void, a Supreme Saint who mastered a certain thirteenth-rank inheritance would be considered to have Invincible Supreme Saint strength.
But having Invincible Supreme Saint strength and truly becoming one were different things. Only one Invincible Supreme Saint could exist per era. Even if ten Saints with that strength emerged at once, only one might be recognized—and most likely, none.
To become Invincible, all other Supreme Saints must yield in heart and mind. But ten Saints of equal standing and power? None would submit.
Thus, even if one had the power, without achieving unquestioned supremacy, they couldn’t become an Invincible Supreme Saint.
“Then again, Rahu has profound foundations. Milky Way Saint has terrifying potential, but in an era where Rahu exists, his path to becoming Invincible Supreme Saint may not be smooth.”
Another special consciousness commented. While they acknowledged Milky Way Saint’s potential, they also recognized Rahu Saint’s strength.
Both Saints clearly possessed Invincible-level strength—but whether Milky Way could surpass Rahu remained to be seen.
“Let’s just watch.”
“Those two kids probably don’t know how strong Milky Way Saint really is. Could be interesting—maybe Milky Way and Rahu will cross paths sooner than expected.”
The special consciousnesses were quite entertained. Across the endless eras of the universe, Saints with Invincible-level strength were extraordinarily rare. And now, two had appeared in one era.
Naturally, they were intrigued.
For them, amusement over the ages was rare. Watching two such beings clash was definitely one of their few pleasures.
Deep within the Milky Way Chaos Continent.
Lin Yuan was in seclusion, cultivating. The supreme inheritances given to him by the Ancestors of the source world required immense time and effort to comprehend.
“Hm?”
He heard the voice from the outside world and frowned slightly.
“Those two?”
He glanced toward the distant void, where the two Supreme Saints stood. With a flash, he appeared in the skies above the Milky Way Chaos Continent.
“Milky Way Saint?”
The emaciated figure was stunned. Something felt off—the aura from Milky Way Saint was far too calm. So calm, in fact, that he couldn’t sense anything at all.
“This Milky Way Saint… is not simple.”
The bald man also sensed something. He stepped forward, standing beside the emaciated figure, expression growing grave.
He didn’t know why, but the distant Milky Way Saint gave him a similar feeling to Rahu.
“In the Mysterious Emperor Universe, even while being suppressed by Saint Yu Lin, Milky Way Saint was still hiding his true power?”
The bald man was stunned. He and the emaciated man had done thorough research before coming here.
“We were too reckless.”
He was beginning to regret it. Had they known how deeply Milky Way Saint was hiding his power, they would never have approached him in this manner—even to investigate the Shadowfiend and Nine Phoenix case.
“What do you want from me?”
Lin Yuan looked at the two Supreme Saints. Being interrupted during cultivation had naturally put him in a foul mood.
“Nothing much, really.”
The bald man glanced at his companion and spoke first. “Not long ago, we noticed that the karmic traces of Shadowfiend and Nine Phoenix had completely vanished, so we came to investigate and wanted to ask you about it.”
He smiled at Lin Yuan. “Seems it was all a misunderstanding.”
“It’s not a misunderstanding,” Lin Yuan shook his head. “I killed them.”
Even though Nine Phoenix had self-destructed, the root cause was still Lin Yuan.
“What?”
The emaciated man was dazed. They had only come to report back to Rahu Saint—not actually expecting to find the one who had truly erased Shadowfiend and Nine Phoenix.
Beside him, the bald man’s face turned grim. Although they had fulfilled Rahu’s request, he felt no relief.
Because Lin Yuan had admitted it outright—he had killed them. Completely. Even their karma was gone?
Such a feat was beyond even most Invincible Supreme Saints, yet Milky Way Saint had done it?
“Hahaha, well, if you were the one who did it, then that clears things up. We won’t disturb you further.”
The bald man spoke quickly, preparing to retreat.
The emaciated man followed suit, now aware of the gravity of the situation.
To utterly annihilate two Saints? Even newly ascended ones? It was still astounding.
“You’ve asked your questions—now it’s my turn.”
Lin Yuan looked at them as the surrounding spacetime grew heavy and oppressive. “You disturbed my cultivation. Take one strike. Survive, and you may leave.”
“Milky Way Saint…” the bald man’s face darkened. He could feel the pressure in spacetime and knew escape was impossible.
“Milky Way Saint, we serve under Rahu—”
The emaciated figure tried to speak. Among ancient existences, many knew how terrifying Rahu was.
Even if they didn’t know Rahu had mastered a thirteenth-rank inheritance, he was still close to Invincible Supreme Saint level.
But before they could finish—
Lin Yuan vanished. In his place, an eternal blazing sun appeared, looming over endless spacetime.
“No—!” the emaciated one felt his soul tremble in despair.
The bald man felt the same. Without hesitation, they crushed a token inscribed with the characters “Rahu”—a gift from Rahu Saint himself.
This was their final card. If they encountered danger while acting for Rahu, the token would summon a projection of his will.
Though it wouldn’t match Rahu’s true self in power, it was still vastly stronger than ordinary Supreme Saints, infused with Rahu’s mind and will.
Whoosh—
Sunlight poured in from all directions.
As the token shattered, a stream of energy gathered, forming a massive figure.
The figure was made entirely of gray mist, its aura penetrating deep into spacetime.
“What’s going on?”
As soon as the form took shape, Rahu Saint’s will descended. But before he could even comprehend the situation, he was already facing that blazing, eternal sun high above spacetime.
“What is—?”
His pupils constricted.
But before he could react, the blazing sun’s light engulfed the projection, causing it to collapse instantly—erasing both the projection and the two Supreme Saints behind it.
Not a trace remained.
Whoosh.
Lin Yuan’s figure returned. He stretched out a hand and gathered the spoils left by the two Supreme Saints. He recalled something the emaciated one had said earlier.
“Rahu Saint? Never heard of him.”
Lin Yuan didn’t care in the slightest. By destroying the main bodies of the two Saints, he’d made a statement—a warning to prevent future interruptions from others.
With that done, he vanished once again, returning to the depths of the Milky Way Chaos Continent to continue his cultivation.
