Lawful Tyrant

Chapter 362 Sweep!

"boom!!"

With a deafening roar, this vast illusory world immediately and without pause crushed the consciousness of hundreds of geniuses!
In an instant, each aura weakened, and the soul collapsed, leaving only the body to drift helplessly in the deep space before being expelled from this cosmic starry sky.

In just a moment, more than 500 geniuses were eliminated!

Even the twenty-odd geniuses who were still alive were all greatly weakened, struggling to resist the oppression of the illusory world while staring incredulously at its source—

Lin Qing!

"What...what is this? Could it be a secret technique of willpower?"

"To annihilate over 90% of geniuses in an instant?"

"This secret technique of willpower... could it be the legendary Great Extinction of the Illusory World?"

"Isn't the Great Extinction of the Illusory World from the Realm of Kings still around? Where did this freak come from..."

"I heard that a genius who is suspected of possessing the Illusory World Extinction technique has emerged in Star Refining State of the Frozen Empire. Could it be this guy?"

All the super geniuses stared at Lin Qing in shock.

They have a superior cultivation environment and extremely outstanding talent. Some of them even have avatars of the main god. It is easy for them to comprehend the rules of spacetime. It is not difficult for them to become advanced chaotic beings in 38 million years.

But a will powerful enough to influence the flow of time and space is not so simple!

The vast majority of advanced chaotic beings only break through after a long period of time, having observed the river of time for countless years, and then experiencing a moment of great emotion, wisdom, or opportunity!
This has little to do with talent or comprehension of the rules.

Of these super geniuses who have cultivated for less than 38 million years, the vast majority naturally do not possess such willpower.

In addition, most willpower techniques are not very useful against those at the same level, and only have a suppressive effect on those at a lower level. It is difficult to kill them directly. These geniuses are focused on comprehending the rules, cultivating divine skills and supreme secret techniques, so they naturally have no time to learn any willpower techniques.

Therefore, in just a moment, the vast majority of super geniuses were killed!

Even some geniuses who created divine combination skills and cultivated supreme secret techniques were unable to unleash their full power before their consciousness was directly annihilated!
"There are still more than twenty people alive?"

Lin Qing was somewhat surprised, "They all possess the will to influence the river of time and space? That's quite impressive..."

Since he didn't know anyone anyway, he was too lazy to waste any more words. He immediately waved his hand, and thousands upon thousands of cold, divine weapons flew out, transforming into an endless field of light that illuminated all directions, suppressing space and time, and strangling everything in their path.

In the 60,000 years of accelerated time, the supreme secret technique "Endless Divine Light" has also been cultivated to its current limit.

At this moment, with the application of this technique, seven more of the remaining twenty-odd geniuses were killed by this domain secret technique.

These seven people were already relatively weak, and were further suppressed by the Illusionary World Annihilation Technique, only able to exert two or three tenths of their strength. Naturally, they could not resist the power of this supreme secret technique.

"boom!!"

A dazzling golden light erupted, instantly condensing into a colossal hand tens of thousands of kilometers long, larger than many planets. The hand caused spacetime to surge and collapse continuously, slamming towards the dozen or so geniuses.

Under the dual constraints of willpower oppression and domain restriction, these surviving geniuses were unable to unleash their full potential.

Even if they are super geniuses, it is already remarkable that they have become advanced chaotic beings in a mere 30 million years. They simply do not have enough time to create perfect divine skills. At most, they can only rely on abundant treasures and resources to cultivate supreme secret techniques.

But how could someone who only knows the supreme secret technique possibly withstand Lin Qing?

With just one slap, only that one genius survived.

The black-haired, girl-like super genius gritted her teeth, her entire being appearing and disappearing as if turning into nothingness, her body flowing with a strange golden-red luster, causing time and space to freeze.

"This guy's pretty strong?"

Lin Qing raised an eyebrow slightly, realizing that this girl must have cultivated two supreme secret techniques, and that these techniques, combined with her bloodline talent, made her even stronger than the peak experts of ordinary chaotic beings.

He immediately became serious, and images of the future slowly surfaced in his eyes.

The colossal hand that blotted out the starry sky moved with a roar, but it repeatedly disappeared into the depths of time and space, failing to strike the girl.

"This method..."

The girl's expression changed slightly, as if she had vaguely guessed something. She quickly used her secret technique to protect herself, and at the same time, the flow of time on her body accelerated sharply as she rushed towards Lin Qing.

The flow of time in Lin Qing's location also slowed down significantly.

"Oh?"

Lin Qing's expression remained calm, and then he vanished completely.

"A being from the future?" The girl gritted her teeth. "As expected, a cultivator of future rules!"

The mystery of the future body allows one to escape into the future, only to reappear when the present and the future meet. It is arguably the most powerful time-space mystery for survival.

Once you escape into the future, other cultivators of the rules have no way to do anything about it.

To break this trick—

Either they are cultivators of future rules, who use future vision to find the future line where the other party is located, and then use the same future body to enter the same future line.

Either seize the moment when the present and the future meet, and capture the instant when the other party descends from the future into the present, and suppress or kill them.

Either you overwhelmingly defeat them, leaving them with no hope of escape in any future path, causing their entire future to collapse and be annihilated.

But she clearly couldn't do the first and third points.

The second method?
She had absolutely no confidence either!

"Damn it, if I could stop time, maybe I would still have a chance..."

The girl gritted her teeth, knowing that her chances of winning were slim, but she was unwilling to give up.

If time could be frozen, she could freeze the space-time around the opponent the moment they appeared, and perhaps even have a chance to kill them.

at this time--

"Boom boom boom boom——!!"

One after another, enormous and majestic hands suddenly erupted from the depths of spacetime, causing spacetime to collapse and seemingly suppressing everything. They appeared at the same moment, and their powers even overlapped completely, causing the power of dozens of giant hands to merge together and crash down on her!
"This is……"

For a moment, the girl's eyes went blank, and then she was completely engulfed by the terrifying power of the dozens of giant hands that had converged and merged together!
When all was quiet, the girl's figure had completely vanished.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Qing also descended from nothingness into reality.

In this tranquil universe, he was now all alone.

"This 'True Self Return to Oneness' secret technique, which uses the mystery of the 'future body,' is indeed terrifying..."

Lin Qing was secretly amazed.

The terrifying secret technique "Cosmic Body Seal," which transcends the highest level, can be divided into four parts—

The basic body-refining method is "Cosmic Body"; the "Eye of Heavenly Punishment" is based on the mysteries of future vision; the "Return to One True Self" is based on the mysteries of future body; and the "Entering the Heart of Myriad Calamities" is based on the mysteries of descending into the future.

The "Cosmic Body" technique and the divine skill of the World God can be combined perfectly to amplify the ultimate power of the World God several times over.

What he just used was "Return to Oneness with the True Self".

The person in the future can travel to a point in the future where everything is still.

He will only arrive in reality when real time passes and meets this future point in time.

The power of his dozens of consecutive palm strikes was all concentrated at the same point in time, three seconds later. Then, by using the secret technique of "Returning to Oneness of the True Self," he concentrated these dozens of palm strikes at the same point in time. When the present and the future meet, the power of these dozens of palm strikes can be unleashed simultaneously!

This is like a normal attack, with attacks erupting one after another. For cultivators of the current rules who are subject to time acceleration, it is not difficult to defend against.

But what if dozens of attacks erupt simultaneously in an instant?
This is like a group of powerful individuals with a shared understanding joining forces to launch a combined attack—it's completely different!

Moreover, this is just a normal use of the mysterious 'future body'.

"True Self Returns to Oneness" can even allow multiple attacks to overlap and merge together, resulting in a qualitative change!

Just now, Lin Qing used the "True Self Returns to One" secret technique, combining the power of dozens of palm strikes to easily kill this girl!

This is the terrifying aspect of techniques that transcend the level of supreme secret arts. Even a single technique within them is clearly superior to a supreme secret art!

"The True Self Returns to Oneness is only a minor achievement; to achieve true mastery, one must even achieve the Great Mastery of the Cosmic Body Tribulation..."

Lin Qing increasingly understood why cultivating the terrifying secret technique "Cosmic Calamity Body," which transcends the highest level, was enough to make one invincible.

next moment--

"All other test-takers have been eliminated, and the successor to the Royal Pearl has been confirmed."

Suddenly, the voice of the Emperor of Qiongguang echoed through the cosmos.

Lin Qing felt the space-time shift before his eyes, and he reappeared in the square in front of the temple. The gazes of many geniuses, a group of eternal beings, and even two ultimate beings were all on him.

The Emperor of Qiongguang stood above him and said in a gentle tone, "Come up."

Then he turned and walked into the temple.

"Yes, Emperor."

Lin Qing didn't say much and immediately followed, leaving a group of people standing silently in place.

"Where did he come from? One person wiped out more than 500 people?"

"He's only cultivated for less than 38 million years, is that monstrous?"

"He's too monstrous! It's like I've stumbled upon the personal disciples of three divine kingdom rulers!"

"The Great Extinction of the Illusory World? I heard that a genius in the Frozen Empire has appeared who seems to have mastered the Great Extinction of the Illusory World. Could it be him?"

"I found out. It seems he and Lord Xiaoying have a grudge against each other, and they both joined Lord Xinglian's military."

"Everyone, please refrain from spreading rumors. Lord Xiaoying is from the Myriad Seas Divine Kingdom. Since the two have a grudge, let Lord Xiaoying suffer a loss."

"That's natural. It's a good thing that so many countries in our Tianguang region have such geniuses."

……

……

The temple was dimly lit, as empty as the starry sky, with the greatest light source being the two bright pearls that shone with endless light.

Lin Qing followed Emperor Qiongguang into the temple and looked up at the two bright pearls that resembled stars.

"Lin Qing, this is the Glorious King Pearl."

Emperor Qiongguang turned slightly, looked at Lin Qing, and said with a half-smile, "It seems you will soon become my junior brother or even senior brother."

"Your Majesty?" Lin Qing wasn't surprised that the other party recognized him.

"You have already obtained the Glorious King Pearl, which is the test your master gave you. You only need the Fleeting Spirit Flower and the minor completion of the Cosmic Calamity Body Technique."

Emperor Qiongguang casually said, "With your current strength, I think it's only a matter of time. Soon, Master will accept you as a disciple. Then you'll be my junior brother. If you can pass Master's third test and become a personal disciple, I'll have to call you senior brother."

Lin Qing suddenly realized.

It seems that Emperor Qiongguang is a disciple of His Majesty King Guang.

"The Brilliant King Pearl will take a while to fully form. I can chat with you for a bit."

Within the space-time surrounding the Celestial Emperor, the flow of time naturally slowed down, even decreasing to one thirty-eight thousandth of a second.

At such a slow flow of time, the magnificent royal pearl would probably take shape within ten minutes or so.

Lin Qing sensed the difference in the flow of time inside and outside, and said softly, "Your Majesty has some impressive skills. You can actually reduce your own flow of time to this extent?"

While cultivators who adhere to the current rules can alter spacetime more significantly with increasing strength, the difficulty of influencing their own spacetime also increases as their life level rises.

Overall, the change in one's own time flow rate is at most 380 times.

And this Emperor Qiongguang actually reached 38,000 times.
"With the help of the power of this magnificent temple, I could only achieve a maximum of 380 times on my own."

Emperor Qiongguang smiled and shook his head slightly, "This magnificent temple resonates with the origin of the Heavenly Light Divine Kingdom, and inherently contains immense power."

Lin Qing suddenly realized.

He then asked curiously, "Your Majesty, the timing of the formation of this Radiant King Pearl is so coincidental. I just arrived at the Radiant Temple, and the selection process just began? Could it be...?"

"Yes, I've been waiting for you." Emperor Qiongguang smiled. "These two royal pearls were originally a test arranged for you by your master, so how could I allow others to covet them?"

He casually said, "These two magnificent royal pearls were about to take shape a million years ago, but my master ordered me to suppress the power of chaos to prevent them from absorbing the essence of chaos, just in time for your arrival."

Lin Qing then realized that it was indeed true.

He just wanted to see when the Glorious King Pearl would be formed and whether it could be used in time for the Star Refining Army's elite selection trials.

He never expected that the Brilliant King Pearl would be formed so soon after he arrived at the place. Such a coincidence naturally aroused his suspicion.

“Master said that with your strength, if you were to search for the King Pearl within 38 million years, apart from the three great divine kingdoms, no other genius who has cultivated for no more than 38 million years would be your match.”

The Emperor of Qiongguang sighed softly, "Now it seems so. The Great Extinction of the Illusory World is indeed terrifying, as expected of the creation of that future world god."

Lin nodded slightly.

The secret arts of will created by other ultimate beings have little effect; even on lower levels, they only have a suppressive effect.

Only in "The Great Extinction of the Illusory World" would even those at the same level experience a dramatic drop in strength, which is incredibly defying the heavens.

Actually, I envy you.

Emperor Qiongguang sighed, "Among Master's personal disciples, none of them cultivate the future rules, and only three of his nominal disciples do."

He looked at Lin Qing and said, "Master clearly values ​​you highly. Before you even became a disciple, he taught you the 'Cosmic Body Tribulation Technique' and gave you the Brilliant King Pearl and the Fleeting Spirit Flower as rewards for your test. Master only gives you such treatment when he takes on personal disciples."

Lin Qing could also sense this.

The test that the King of Light put on him was far too difficult, clearly much more so than the personal disciples of other ultimate beings.

But the rewards are also incredibly high.

Whether it's the Cosmic Body, the Glorious King Pearl, or the second-generation bloodline of the Burning Universe Lord obtained from the first trial, they are all treasures that could drive eternal beings mad.

Even the ultimate beings might not be willing to bestow such a treasure upon their personal disciples, let alone use it as a test.

"The third test may be difficult, but I hope you will do your best to pass it." Emperor Qiongguang looked at Lin Qing with a serious expression.

"Yes, I will do my best," Lin Qing nodded.

"Furthermore, once you achieve eternity, if you encounter people from the Primordial Divine Kingdom and the Myriad Seas Divine Kingdom, feel free to attack them without hesitation," said Emperor Qiongguang. "If you can kill them, that would be best. If you can't kill them, take their treasures and make them suffer as much as possible."

"This..." Lin Qing said in surprise, "Weren't the three great divine kingdoms founded by the three leaders of the King Realm? Even if the population needs to be reduced, it shouldn't be like this..."

He thought that although the three great kingdoms were at war, it was mainly to reduce the population burden. In reality, the higher-ups would not fight to the death, but instead agreed on how much population to eliminate through the war.

"Oh?"

Emperor Qiongguang smiled and asked, "Where did you learn that?"

"In the book," Lin Qing said.

“Those are all for ordinary Kings.” Emperor Qiongguang shook his head slightly. “How could someone as compassionate as Master be willing to trample on life through war? If the goal is to reduce the population, wouldn’t it be easier to just use the rules of the universe to limit it? Even if crises can temper people, there’s no need to do it through war.”

Lin Qing was taken aback upon hearing this and said, "Then why..."

"As for the truth..."

Emperor Qiongguang remained silent for a moment, then snorted coldly, "Those two old bastards from the Primordial Divine Kingdom and the Myriad Seas Divine Kingdom are nothing but two traitors!"

"Traitor?" Lin Qing exclaimed in surprise.
