Lawful Tyrant

Chapter 407 Breaking Through the Primordial Era
Deep within the territory of the early Yuan Dynasty.

It can be seen that there are more than 100,000 enormous and majestic temples floating in the endless starry sky. Each temple is trillions of miles high and exudes an astonishing aura.

In the center, surrounded by numerous temples, floats a silver-white pyramid that is over ten trillion miles high.

Lin Qing, dressed in a white robe, stood quietly on the platform at the top of the pyramid, gazing at the distant starry sky.

In his eyes, time and space could no longer form an obstacle. Through the intricate layers of time and space, one could see that a world barrier, like a massive portal, was hidden in the deepest part of this space-time.

—This is the time-space node for entering the Primordial Divine Kingdom, but it has been occupied by the time-space fortress set up by the Primordial Divine Kingdom.

Only by breaking through this gateway-like world barrier can one enter the spacetime fortress world behind it, and then breach the fortress to truly penetrate the Primordial Divine Kingdom.

"Uncle Master."

Suddenly, a phantom materialized before their eyes, revealing itself to be the incarnation of the Ape King.

"Most of the eternal beings of the nine great empires of my Heavenly Light faction, as well as most of the eternal beings of my Heavenly Light Divine Kingdom, have already assembled."

The Ape Master said, "We have gathered exactly 108,000 eternal beings and 380 trillion advanced chaotic beings, which is just enough to form the highest standard 'Lord of the Stars' battle formation. As for the eternal peak beings, following my uncle's instructions, we did not gather many of them. Most of them are stationed in those key spacetime fortresses."

Lin Qing nodded slightly and said, "The role of a peak Eternal Realm expert is to preside over and guide. With you and me leading this battle formation, we are well capable of breaking through the spacetime fortress of the Primordial Divine Kingdom."

“My master is no longer afraid of those eternal beings in the Primordial Divine Kingdom,” Ape Master said, shaking his head.

“Then I have no choice but to run away.” Lin Qing chuckled. “Besides, I can’t break through this world barrier by myself, nor can I breach the spacetime fortress where the three Duke-level powerhouses and the hundred thousand eternal beings are stationed.”

Ape Master immediately said, "If it weren't for our Martial Uncle, none of us would dare to attack the Primordial Divine Kingdom."

Lin Qing shook his head slightly and didn't say anything, but said, "In addition, give the order that after entering the Primordial Divine Kingdom, no indiscriminate slaughter is allowed. Only those who serve in the army and those who are eternal beings should be killed. Let some innocent low-level chaotic beings go."

“That’s natural. My uncle and grandmaster both have compassion for the weak and vulnerable.” Ape Master said respectfully, “Grandmaster has always demanded the same of us.”

Lin Qing hummed in agreement and nodded slightly.

The cosmic origins of the three factions are roughly two-thirds or three-thirds located on the living beings and life-bearing stars of each empire. In particular, life-bearing stars are the source of the life and death of all living beings. The origins contained in first-class stars and holy stars account for more than ninety percent of these two-thirds or three-thirds of the cosmic origins.

The remaining 70-80% of the universe's origin is concentrated in the various wonders within the divine realm, with living beings making up less than one-tenth of that.

Especially the weaker beings, whose combined absorption of the cosmic origin might not even equal that of an eternal being.

and so……

While slaughtering all living beings may indeed yield more of the universe's essence, even if all are slaughtered, the gains would only be less than 10%.

Even a being as compassionate as King Guang, who sympathizes with the weak, would not allow his disciples to wantonly slaughter those innocent and vulnerable.

Lin Qing's choice to kill the military advisors and eternal beings, and then destroy all the first-class stars and eternal holy stars in the enemy territory, was already enough to obtain more than 90% of the enemy camp's cosmic origin.

Countless weak void beings and star beings have no idea why the war is happening. They are not even qualified to participate in the war. Their lifespans are limited, and they are just innocent victims caught in the crossfire of war.

"Reporting to Your Highness, Temple No. 10447 is ready."

"Ninth Prince, Temple No. 18887 is ready..."

One by one, eternal beings materialized and came to report, while streams of power resonated and strengthened the silver-white pyramid where Lin Qing was located.

The 'Lord of All Stars' battle formation is based on the Star Temple, which is ruled by 108,000 eternal beings.

As the master of all the stars in the heavens—the one who controls the formation—he uses his natal eternal treasure to suppress the formation's core and guide the power of the stars.

With his strength, he could easily withstand the immense power of the stars; the power of the stars alone could suppress some ultimate beings or top-tier dukes.

Before long, the 108,000 Star Temples were ready.

Accompanied by the resonance of 108,000 stars, the vast power of the stars also descended.

Lin Qing glanced at the various temples and said:

"The time has come! Let us attack Yuan Chu!"

"Attack the Yuan Dynasty!"

As Lin Qing's voice resounded throughout the endless starry sky, the power of the Lord of Stars contained in his voice alone instantly shattered the endless space-time where this starry sky was located!

Deep within the shattered spacetime turbulence, a world barrier, as vast as a portal spanning billions of miles, can be seen.

"Certainly."

Lin casually stretched out his hand and grabbed at it, completely repelling the vast spatial turbulence and storm, leaving only the chaotic void layer and that portal-like world barrier.

The power of endless stars surged and gathered, continuously empowering his body.

Although this vast and unparalleled power can only be applied to him and cannot be used to unleash divine skills, it is far stronger than his own power. As long as he has enough strength, he can unleash the immense power of this endless star power!
"break."

Lin Qing struck out with a palm from a distance, and endless light immediately condensed into a majestic giant palm. It was as if a heavenly tribulation of destruction had descended out of thin air, swirling around the giant palm, and instantly completely drawing upon the boundless power of the stars!

With his strength, he could easily control the power of the endless stars!
"Boom--!"

The colossal hand, hundreds of millions of miles long, carrying a vast power as immense as the collapse of the universe, slammed down on the enormous world barrier.

In just a moment, the world barrier collapsed deeply, and countless cracks appeared on the entire barrier.

"horrible……"

The eternal beings in the Temple of Stars couldn't help but tremble at the sight.

The strength of a world barrier can be judged by its size, and the world barrier of the Primordial Divine Kingdom's space-time fortress is so enormous that even ordinary ultimate beings might not be able to shake it in the slightest!
After this prince invoked the power of the stars, he almost shattered the world barrier with a single palm strike.

Clearly, one person alone has fully unleashed the power of these endless stars!
"boom!!"

Another terrifying blow struck the world barrier that was on the verge of collapse, instantly shattering the entire barrier!
As the world barrier dissipates, a spacetime fortress world composed of 100,000 mountains and rivers is revealed.

It is evident that the 100,000 continuous mountain ranges are all composed of countless peaks, which are also formed by 100,000 eternal beings in battle formation.

Among them, the three most majestic peaks seem to support the entire world, and each of the three peaks is occupied by a figure.

These were none other than the three powerful dukes of the Primordial Divine Kingdom—Duke Yu, Duke Weiyuan, and Duke Fenxin!

The main war avatars of Yu Gong and Wei Yuan Gong have clearly been reshaped.

However, the two of them were noticeably weaker than before. Some world treasures cannot be replenished at any time. Even if they reforged their natal treasures, their strength was not as good as before.

"Lord Yu, the Chaos Treasure bestowed upon you by the God of the Realm is now in my hands. Do you still wish to resist?"

Lin Qing's voice resounded throughout the world of the Time-Space Fortress, and the immense power of the stars caused the entire world to tremble slightly.

The world suppression of the Time-Space Fortress has little effect on a Duke-level powerhouse; it only reduces his strength by one or two tenths.

At the same time, a vast and boundless illusory world descended into reality, enveloping the entire spacetime fortress world and beginning to suppress all living beings within the 100,000 mountains and rivers!
"Humph!"

Yu Gong snorted coldly, and Fen Xin Gong and Wei Yuan Gong also had icy eyes.

At this moment, the mental will of the three powerful dukes, which governed the eternal existence of the 100,000 mountains and rivers and countless advanced chaotic beings, united their minds and unleashed an immense and overwhelming will that soared into the sky.

Under the suppression of this vast illusory world, it was actually weaker than countless wills, barely managing to reduce the aura of the many living beings in the Hundred Thousand Mountains and Rivers by one or two tenths.

"Oh?" Lin Qing remained calm.

His inner world was already vast, his mental will was extremely strong, and with the amplification of his mental traveler clone, his will was much stronger than that of an ordinary duke.

However, compared to the immense will gathered from the ten thousand mountains and rivers of the other party, he was somewhat lacking.

That was the combined will of three great dukes, hundreds of peak Eternal experts, nearly 100,000 Eternal beings, and countless high-level Chaos beings—more than ten times stronger than the previous large legion.

Even if they cannot truly unite as one, they are not something he can easily crush.

"Lin Qing, do you think your Illusionary World Annihilation technique is still effective?"

Yu Gong's eyes were cold, and his deep voice resounded throughout the world: "That is a treasure bestowed upon me by the current World God. Only I can use it. Do you think it will be of any use to you?" After Yu Gong's suicide, the top-tier Chaos Treasure bestowed by the current World God naturally fell into Lin Qing's hands.

However, the Chaos Treasure contained the techniques left behind by the current World God, which Lin Qing was unable to refine and use.

However, Lin didn't care.

The main function of this chaotic treasure is spacetime teleportation, which can be used for escape.

Since he already possessed the ability to travel in a phantom form, he naturally didn't care about this extraordinary treasure.

"Suffer to death."

Lin Qing didn't bother with any more words. He immediately transformed into a towering world god, hundreds of trillions of miles tall, and was subjected to endless heavenly punishments. He then drew upon the power of the stars and unleashed a powerful punch at Yu Gong!

Spacetime shattered, the world shook, and the chaotic void layer was rapidly distorted under this terrifying power!

"This power..."

Yu Gong's face was somber, and his body radiated boundless light. The infinite power of the terrain of the 100,000 mountains and rivers was also activated, and most of its power gathered on his body, shining on Lin Qing along with the boundless light.

The black-robed Burning Heart Duke and Unearth Duke also made their move at the same time, and the three of them almost drew upon the power of all the mountains and rivers.

"boom!!!"

The earth-shattering collision of power caused the entire Time-Space Fortress world to shake violently. If both sides had not been protected by the battle formation, this attack would have likely resulted in the deaths of everyone below the Duke level in the entire world!
However, thousands of those 100,000 mountains and rivers were still shattered, and in an instant, thousands of eternal beings and hundreds of millions of advanced chaotic beings turned into nothingness!
"Can't stop it..."

Upon seeing this, Lord Yu, Lord Fenxin, and Lord Weiyuan felt their hearts sink.

Both sides' battle formations were of the highest standard and unleashed their maximum power. Under such a relentless collision and bombardment, the protective power of the battle formations would be greatly weakened.

Once one side is in a weak position and cannot be perfectly protected in the battle formation, someone will inevitably be affected!

"Lin Qing's strength is indeed far, far greater than ours..."

Both Duke Weiyuan and Duke Fenxin couldn't help but tremble slightly. Neither of them had learned the inheritance of the World God, and they were only of ordinary Duke level strength. In addition, Duke Weiyuan had just reconstructed his main battle avatar, so his strength was 30% weaker than before.

Furthermore, Yu Gong lost three important treasures he possessed, as well as several key world treasures, leaving him with only half of his previous strength!
But they were three great dukes, and among the hundreds of thousands of eternal beings, there were also hundreds of peak eternal experts from the Primordial Divine Kingdom. They tried their best to select the elite, but they still couldn't defeat Lin Qing!
Lin Qing's side only has two dukes, and the 108,000 eternal beings are all ordinary eternal beings, whose quality is not as good as Yuan Chu's side.

However, the Yuan Chu side was actually at a disadvantage!
Clearly, Lin Qing's personal strength was too terrifying, enough to close the gap and even gain the upper hand!
"It's over..."

Yu Gong and the other two understood that the Heavenly Light Divine Kingdom must have foreseen the future and knew how much military strength would be sufficient to lead an army of this quality to attack.

The remaining military forces remained stationed in various locations to prevent the Wan Hai Divine Kingdom from finding any weaknesses.

"The True God of the Heart!"

Lin Qing attacked again, and with his mental will erupting once more, the power he unleashed was even more terrifying. He shattered thousands of mountains and rivers on the other side once more, and at the same time annihilated thousands of eternal beings and countless high-level chaotic beings!
Moreover, since the enemy had fewer people than last time, the power unleashed by the Ten Thousand Mountains and Rivers was also weaker, resulting in a greater number of casualties this time!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Despite repeated and devastating collisions, not a single member of the Temple of Stars perished, while the Ten Thousand Mountains suffered ever greater losses. As the power of the battle formation diminished, the losses became even greater with each subsequent clash!

After seventeen consecutive collisions—

"break!"

With a single, majestic wave of the World God's palm, accompanied by the power of countless stars and various heavenly punishments, the eternal existence of the Hundred Thousand Mountains and Rivers became increasingly scarce.

At this moment, it seemed to have reached the critical point. The vast will of the remaining ten thousand or so eternal beings gathered together could no longer withstand the constant pressure of the illusory world. It was directly crushed and collapsed on the spot, and then its consciousness was annihilated on the spot by the Great Extinction of the Illusory World!

For a time, only three dukes from the Yuan Chu faction remained on the battlefield.

"Failed..."

Yu Gong murmured something and slowly closed his eyes.

Upon hearing this, both Wei Yuangong and Fen Xingong sighed.

Although they will not die, the fact that the war between the divine kingdoms was so thoroughly lost means that the Primordial God Emperor's hope of eventually becoming the master of the universe is very small.

Unless King Guang is a fool, or a peerless duke similar to Lin Qing appears under the command of the Primordial God Emperor, it can almost be declared that King Guang is destined to become the ruler of the universe in the King Realm!

What will be the fate of those who side with the Primordial God Emperor?
"Rumble--"

A terrifying force swept across, completely annihilating the main battle avatars of Wei Yuan Gong and Fen Xin Gong.

Yu Gong, too lazy to put up any more pointless resistance, simply gave up on the clone and it vanished on the spot.

Thus, the most powerful force of the Primordial Divine Kingdom was completely destroyed.

"All personnel... invade the Primordial Divine Kingdom, destroy all wonders, and report immediately any discovery of eternal existence."

At that moment, Lin Qing's voice resounded throughout the world.

The Temple of Stars immediately transformed into countless dazzling meteors, streaking across the sky of the Primordial God Kingdom along the entrance to the Time-Space Fortress world.

"The people of the Heavenly Light Divine Kingdom have invaded?"

Countless beings from the Primordial Divine Kingdom looked up in terror at the streaks of shooting stars in the sky, each radiating a terrifying aura.

but……

The stars streaked across the sky, paying no heed to the countless living beings, but heading straight for the nearest spectacle.

The various 'wonderful sights' within the divine realm are all divine lands transformed from the origin of the divine realm. They took countless billions of years to form and naturally contain an extremely vast cosmic origin.

Lin Qing used his future vision to locate the remaining tens of thousands of eternal beings in the Primordial God Kingdom. After casually unleashing the Illusionary World Extinction to massacre them, he confirmed that the Primordial God Kingdom had no power to resist. Only then did he lead his army to destroy one wonder after another, taking away some of the treasures nurtured within these wonders.

A vast amount of the universe's origin was absorbed and seized by the Heavenly Light Divine Kingdom, which then began to expand continuously.

This is the essence of the war between the divine kingdoms.

If Lord Yu were to conquer the Heavenly Light Divine Kingdom, he would probably want to completely destroy all living beings, stars, wonders, and so on within the Heavenly Light Divine Kingdom and its territory.

These were all formed after the Kings Realm absorbed the power of chaos. Moreover, the universe has a limit to its capacity. Only after destruction can the Kings Realm absorb more chaotic power to regenerate life, stars, wonders, and so on.

"Rumble--"

One by one, the wonders were destroyed and shattered, transforming into a vast amount of cosmic origin.

In just over a hundred years, many of the wonders of the Primordial Divine Kingdom were completely destroyed.

Lin Qing then began leading his army to attack the various treasure troves of the Primordial Divine Kingdom.

The Primordial God Emperor was definitely watching this scene from outside the universe, but his master was also watching. Since they had already come all this way, the more severe the blow to the Primordial God Kingdom, the better. Naturally, he would not show any mercy.

"The Primordial Palace?"

Soon, Lin Qing discovered the palace that the Primordial God Emperor used to seal and store treasures.

Although the sealing power protecting the Primordial Palace was set up by the Primordial God Emperor, and even the ultimate beings could not shake it, the Primordial God Emperor was not yet at the King Realm, and the origin of the divine kingdom was much weaker, so the sealing power had no follow-up support.

After fifteen years of relentless bombardment led by Lin Qing, the protective seal of the Primordial Palace was finally broken.

"Let's see what's there."

Lin Qing didn't stand on ceremony and directly entered the space-time inside the treasure hall.

The instant he entered the palace—

"Ok?"

At this moment, Lin Qing was both surprised and delighted to find that the Entropy Reverser seemed to have sensed something and suddenly activated on its own.
