Lawful Tyrant

Chapter 379 The Duke's Inner World!
"What...is going on?"

Xing Lianhou stared blankly at the scene before him, feeling utterly bewildered.

Lin Qing... actually killed Cangliu Hou with just his willpower secret technique?

Although Zangliu Hou's strength is at the bottom among the eternal beings, and his inner world is only the most basic and ordinary world structure, unable to expand and transform, his world will must also be very ordinary among the eternal beings.

But at least it exists forever!

He was just killed on the spot by a higher chaotic being?
Even those unparalleled geniuses in history, who, as advanced chaotic beings, could rival eternal beings, were already ridiculously strong.

It would be incredibly difficult to defeat them, let alone kill them with a single thought!
This is an absolutely mind-blowing miracle!

"What happened?"

The Flame-Devouring Python, which had been completely frozen, suddenly shuddered. As the ice on its body shattered, the frozen space-time returned to normal, and it regained its freedom, looking around somewhat blankly.

An invisible chill was instantly expelled from the body of the Flame-Devouring Python, which immediately transformed into two Saints in black robes and golden masks, their eyes gloomy as they looked at Lin Qing.

"Damn..."

Her strength was reduced by nearly 80%, so she naturally couldn't seal the Flame-Devouring Python anymore!

After all, she originally had to exert all her strength and sacrifice herself to seal the Flame-Devouring Python. Now that she only has 20% of her strength left, how could she possibly subdue the Flame-Devouring Python, which is of similar strength?
At the same time, a blurry figure hidden deep within time and space suddenly appeared.

It was none other than the third black-robed saint.

The five saints stared at Lin Qing with grim expressions, realizing that they had been exposed. Moreover, under the suppression of this illusory world of will, they were unable to maintain their state of hiding in space and time with all their might, and there was always a slight flaw when they were hiding.

"Little Red, do it!"

Xinglian Hou also understood that now was not the time to ask questions, so he immediately sent a telepathic message to the Devouring Flame Python, and at the same time, he and his clone attacked fiercely once again!

The moment the Flame-Devouring Python regained its freedom, it immediately lashed out with its enormous, pillar-like tail, a full 10 billion miles long, which swept directly toward Marquis Jueyuan!
"No!"

Marquis Jueyuan's face turned deathly pale, and a look of despair involuntarily surfaced in his eyes.

The mind and will of the chaotic being is the world will of the inner world. However, the world structure he explored was not very sophisticated, so his inner world was not much larger than the initial state. His mind and will were only slightly stronger than that of Cangliuhou. Moreover, he had not learned any secret techniques of will!
Under the suppression of this terrifying secret technique of will, he could only exert about 10% of his strength!
He was already somewhat weak and unable to withstand the Devouring Flame Python, and now that he was so weak, how could he possibly survive when facing the Devouring Flame Python in its full strength?

"boom!"

The Devouring Flame Python's tail swept across, shattering the colossal body of the Marquis of Absolute Distance, which was hundreds of millions of miles tall. Then, the Devouring Flame Python opened its mouth and spewed out a blazing, dark blue flame, completely reducing the Marquis of Absolute Distance to nothingness.

The world within the body of the Marquis of Jueyuan also collapsed and dissipated.

In the blink of an eye, another eternal powerhouse has fallen.

The Star Refining Marquis's clone also manipulated the domain formed by billions of starlight, frantically binding the three black-robed saints, while simultaneously unleashing endless chaotic star power to launch a fierce attack.

The three black-robed saints could only barely hold on. Originally, each of them was much stronger than Xing Lianhou, but at this moment, even the two saints with the largest inner world could only exert 20% of their strength, barely matching Xing Lianhou.

The other two saints only had 10-20% of their strength left, making them even weaker than Xing Lianhou, so it was naturally extremely difficult for them to resist!

Xinglianhou also knew that even with the blessing of the Holy Star Origin, he was no match for the Devouring Flame Python, so he only focused on restraining it to prevent the enemy from escaping.

"boom!!"

The Flame-Devouring Python lashed its tail again, sweeping across the area with intensely blazing flames.

A terrifying power erupted, causing spacetime to distort and shift, and with the surging of various forces, the world descended into chaos.

half an hour.

The space-time that had been turned into a dead end finally returned to normal. A ray of light shot out, broke through the air, and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.

"Unfortunately, one of them still got away."

Standing atop the Flame-Devouring Python, Xinglian Hou said with some regret, "This black-robed saint is indeed extremely powerful. He managed to escape even when he only had two or three tenths of his strength left..."

"It doesn't matter, since they all still have clones alive, it was impossible to kill them completely anyway," Lin Qing said.

For eternal beings, treasures or secret techniques that can create clones are no longer rare; anyone who wants to can create clones.

Only when Zangliu Hou was annihilated at the level of consciousness by him can he be considered truly dead.

"That's natural."

With a wave of his hand, Xing Lianhou moved the belongings of the group over, and then laughed, "But the inner worlds of these people all need to be re-evolved, their supreme secret techniques need to be rebuilt, and one of them even lost an eternal treasure. A lot of treasures were spent in the process, and the losses were extremely heavy."

Lin Qing understood what he meant.

The method of creating clones can only reshape life, but the inner world must be rebuilt. If a new world structure is created, it must also be re-evolved. The supreme secret technique must also be rebuilt.

For an eternal being, the cost of reopening the inner world is manageable, but the cost of evolving the world and rebuilding the supreme secret technique is much greater.

Of course, the biggest cost would be to reforge an eternal treasure.

Artifacts and treasures are the most powerful essence of the cosmic divine system and have great potential. Eternal treasures are even more powerful than supreme secret techniques, so the cost of losing an eternal treasure is unimaginable!

"did not expect……"

Xing Lianhou couldn't help but look at Lin Qing, and said with some emotion, "The helper that Mr. Lin Qing mentioned is your own clone? Or is it a chaotic creature clone at the Eternal level?"

"Yes." Lin nodded lightly.

That's easy to guess.

Only a chaotic creature's clone could possibly reach a higher realm than its original body, since chaotic creatures don't need to comprehend spacetime; they only need to grow naturally.

If it is a normal clone, and the clone can cultivate to the eternal level, it must have mastered the complete rules of spacetime. Logically speaking, the main body should also be able to achieve eternity.

"Mr. Lin Qing is truly incredible."

Xinglian Hou sighed softly, "With just the body of a high-level chaotic being, to kill Cangliu Hou with a single thought, I wouldn't even dare to dream of it..."

"It's mainly because of my clones." Lin Qing shook her head slightly: "I can't do this with my own strength alone, and even among the eternal beings, Cangliu Hou is considered to be at the bottom."

Xing Lianhou immediately shook his head and said, "Isn't your clone also part of your own strength?" Lin smiled and didn't say anything.

If it were merely a clone of the Mind Walker, it would indeed be impossible for him to kill Cangliuhou with a single thought, mainly because his consciousness intensity had also transformed to the eternal level.

It's important to know that his transformed consciousness is even stronger than that of the Mind Walker's clone!
As a chaotic being of the mind type, the Mind Walker clone already had a great advantage in mental will, but 34 million years later, his mental will was even stronger!
This incidates that……

Thirty-four million years later, he would certainly not be an ordinary eternal being like the Marquis of Cangliu. At the very least, his inner world must be enormous to possess such a spiritual will.

With such mental fortitude, coupled with the astonishing amplification brought by the Mind Walker, he was able to kill Cangliuhou in a single thought.

"The Marquis of Cangliu is also unlucky."

Xinglianhou sighed, "Although he is relatively weak and has not yet figured out a stronger internal world structure, his ability to protect himself is still quite strong. It's just that he encountered someone like you who is good at willpower secrets. Otherwise, even a peak Eternal Realm expert could not kill him."

"An Eternal Peak expert?" Lin Qing shook his head. "If it were an Eternal Peak expert who, like me, was skilled in the secret arts of will, I could easily kill him."

Even with his current mental willpower, plus the boost from being a Mind Walker, he is still no match for a peak Eternal Realm expert.

—He tried it in the long river of time.

Even with his mental will, he could only penetrate to a depth of about 30% of the river of time and space.

The peak of eternal power means that the inner world of an expert has expanded to a diameter of 38 billion kilometers, and their mental will is enough to completely penetrate the river of time and space!

In other words, even with the amplification of his will after receiving the Mind Walker buff, he only reached about 30% of the level of a peak Eternal Realm expert.

As for the eternal existence of someone like the Marquis of Zangliu, who is at the very bottom?

It is estimated that its mental and physical will cannot even penetrate half a percent of the depth of the river of time and space!
Otherwise, even if Cangliuhou hadn't learned the secret art of resisting will attacks, he wouldn't have had his consciousness directly annihilated by Lin Qing.

This shows that the difference in the strength of their mental will is more than tenfold!

"Too."

Xinglianhou sighed, "That black-robed saint who escaped still had two or three tenths of his strength in front of you. His inner world is probably close to perfection. If he were a true peak Eternal Realm expert, he would already have a perfect world within him. If he had cultivated a secret technique of willpower, even your secret technique of willpower might not be able to affect him..."

"Perfect World?" Lin Qing seemed to be thinking.

“Yes, a truly perfect world,” said Xing Lianhou. “An inner world with a diameter of 38 billion kilometers, theoretically, as long as one creates a cosmic operating method to open up the universe, one can ascend to the ultimate existence in one step.”

He sighed, “But the Perfect World is too difficult to achieve. Even if we spend a great deal of effort to push many supreme secret techniques to their limits, and even cultivate eternal treasures, our strength is still not as good as that of a true eternal being. This is the difference between the inner world and the outer world.”

Lin Qing couldn't help but ask curiously, "How big is the world inside the Marquis's body?"

"Me?" Marquis Xinglian sighed, "I'm only three billion kilometers in diameter."

"Three billion kilometers?" Lin Qing was astonished.

If he remembered correctly, the initial form of the inner world of a newly awakened eternal being was usually one billion kilometers in diameter.

That is, the size of the inner world of someone like the eternally existing Zangliuhou.

If a suitable and more powerful world-building method is deduced, the inner world can continue to evolve and expand.

Xing Lianhou was quite famous, but his inner world was only 3 billion kilometers in diameter, which was such a huge gap compared to the perfect world.
"It is far too difficult to create a perfect world with the abilities of living beings alone."

Xinglianhou sighed, "Moreover, if there is even the slightest error in the world's structure, it could lead to the world's collapse, and even cause immediate loss of consciousness and death. Therefore... without sufficient confidence and without enough world treasures, who would dare to try it casually?"

He shook his head and said, "As for the Perfect World, only those who possess the bloodline of the first generation of chaotic beings have a sliver of hope..."

"The memories of the first generation of bloodline inheritance?" Lin Qing nodded slightly, understanding what Xing Lianhou meant.

The first and second generation bloodlines of the chaotic beings are identical in terms of genetic strength, both reaching a maximum of 999 times the cosmic standard.

However, the value of the first generation bloodline is thousands or even tens of thousands of times that of the second generation bloodline!
Why is that?
The key lies in the inherited memories hidden within the first generation of bloodline, possessing the experience and talent to use chaos to evolve into a perfect world, which is also an innate ability of chaotic creatures!
After obtaining the first bloodline, humans can use it to improve the structure of their internal world and evolve to create a larger world.

Therefore, only those eternal powerhouses who possess the bloodline of the first generation of chaotic beings have a chance to reach the pinnacle.

"Unfortunately, the original bloodline of chaotic creatures is too precious."

Marquis Xinglian sighed, "I don't know how many years it will take to accumulate enough to buy a piece of the first generation bloodline."

Lin Qing suddenly realized.

Indeed, in the Chaos Trading Company, the cheapest first-generation bloodline of a Chaos creature costs at least 30 billion points, and the most expensive can even cost several hundred billion points, and there's no guarantee it's suitable.

It's important to understand that for an eternal being to attempt to transform into an eternal treasure, the cost is only a few billion points, but it would already bankrupt them.

Although Xinglian Hou was much wealthier than ordinary eternal beings because of the Devouring Flame Python, he still couldn't come up with hundreds of billions or even trillions of points.

“The treasures that involve the inner world are all extremely precious and cannot be coveted by ordinary eternal beings.”

Xinglianhou shook his head and said, "Therefore, most of the peak Eternal experts also have extremely powerful backgrounds. The vast majority are either direct disciples of the ultimate beings or blood relatives of the ultimate beings."

Lin Qing felt secretly fortunate.

If it weren't for His Majesty the King of Light, he probably wouldn't have had the opportunity to obtain the second-generation bloodline of the Chaos Lord.

I wonder what's so special about the Chaos Lord's bloodline.
"correct."

Lin Qing suddenly asked with some curiosity, "Eternal Peak experts possess perfect inner worlds, but what about Duke-level experts? Duke-level experts haven't opened up their inner universes either, right? Can a perfect inner world be further improved?"

“Theoretically, it is possible,” said Xing Lianhou. “The so-called perfection is only the limit of the normal internal world, but this is merely a perfect world based on spacetime rules, the limit of spacetime rules.”

He looked at Lin Qing, "And the Duke's inner world is a world formed by two spacetime rules, such as the present rules and the past rules! Such an inner world can easily break through the limits!"

"Two kinds of spacetime rules?"

Lin Qing's mind was buzzing.

“That’s right.” Xing Lianhou sighed, “You must know that whether it’s the original universe or the small universe of a third-level civilization, they are all real universes containing the three spacetime rules of past, present, and future. Or rather… the real spacetime rules inherently contain three spacetime rules! Therefore, if the inner world is based on two spacetime rules, it will be even more powerful. In fact, the powerful world within the body that has broken through limits could rival the inner universe of an ultimate being!”

Lin Qing took a deep breath and couldn't help but ask, "Isn't it said that... the two spacetime rules will affect each other, making it difficult to cultivate at the same time?"
