518: Sorry, today's update will be delayed (please don't stay up late to wait!)

"This, this is..."

The people at the Tea Banquet were all greatly shaken, sensing the special aura of the top-grade spiritual universal substance.

They could tell from the crystal-clear substance that it should be a spiritual substance.

But it was unlike any spiritual universal substance they had ever seen.

It was a feeling they couldn't describe at all.

This substance held immense attraction for them.

"This is a top-grade spiritual universal substance."

Lin Yang smiled at Ziyun, confirming his guess.

"Indeed!"

Ziyun was instantly greatly shocked.

The people at the Tea Banquet also suppressed the attraction, turned to look at Your Excellency Lin Yang, and exclaimed, "Your Excellency Lin Yang, this, this is a top-grade spiritual universal substance?!"

They had only read about top-grade spiritual universal substances in the records of their predecessors.

The shock the actual item brought them was far more intense than what was described in the records.

Kong Shan Yu stared at it unblinkingly, his entire attention and spirit drawn to this top-grade spiritual universal substance.

Lin Yang nodded, looking at Kong Shan Yu: "Your Excellency Kong Shan Yu, try to see if you can use this top-grade spiritual universal substance to break through the final step!"

"This..." Kong Shan Yu swallowed, cautiously and softly saying, "Is that really possible? Can I use this top-grade spiritual substance?"

"Why not?" Lin Yang smiled.

Kong Shan Yu hesitated. Although he yearned for it greatly, he still shook his head and said, "No, this is too precious, I can't use it! I'll slowly look for other opportunities!"

"Your Excellency Kong Shan Yu, no matter how precious something is, it must be used to realize its proper value."

Lin Yang looked at him and said seriously:

"You are only one step away from breaking through to the Breaking Universe Realm. With your spatial attribute power, once you break through, you will be considered a strong individual among Old Ancestor, and our chances of winning against those Alien Race Old Ancestors will be greater."

"What it means to have one more Old Ancestor level combat power, I shouldn't need to say."

"So, Your Excellency Kong Shan Yu, please don't decline any further. Become an Old Ancestor as soon as possible. When the Alien Race attacks, we will be able to deal with them more easily."

"This..." Kong Shan Yu was still somewhat hesitant.

This favor was too great; he was a little worried he couldn't repay it.

Seeing his expression, the people at the Tea Banquet, who were very familiar with his character, exchanged glances and said:

"Old Kong, Your Excellency Lin Yang is right. At this critical juncture, having one more Old Ancestor is indeed crucial. Don't hesitate any longer. As for the favor, once you become an Old Ancestor, are you afraid there won't be a chance to repay it?"

"That's right, Old Kong, although you are only one step away from the Old Ancestor Realm, you know very well how big that gap is and how many years you've spent. Now, don't refuse Your Excellency Lin Yang's kind intentions."

Ziyun also persuaded him from the side.

Listening to their words, Kong Shan Yu was silent for a moment, then gritted his teeth and nodded heavily, saying, "Since that's the case, Your Excellency Lin Yang, I will no longer decline! I will remember this favor!!"

He had a feeling that by utilizing this top-grade spiritual universal substance, he would definitely be able to successfully take that final step and enter the Old Ancestor Realm!

"Haha, what's with all this talk of favors? As long as you feel this item is useful to you, that's enough!" Lin Yang laughed.

"It's useful!" Kong Shan Yu said directly, "I feel I can definitely break through this time!"

With that, he bowed solemnly to Lin Yang, then his gaze swept over Ziyun and the others present at the Tea Banquet, saying:

"Everyone, I have a strong premonition that this top-grade spiritual universal substance is enough to help me enter the Breaking Universe Realm. I need to go into seclusion for some time. From now on, I'll leave the matters of the War Alliance to you all!"

"Go into seclusion quickly! We'll be waiting for you to become an Old Ancestor!" The people at the Tea Banquet were all very happy for Kong Shan Yu.

Not just because the War Alliance would gain another powerful Old Ancestor level existence.

But more so because they had watched over each other and been friends throughout these long years.

Now that Kong Shan Yu finally had a chance to break through, as old friends, they were also very happy for him.

Afterward, the group looked at Lin Yang again, and Tea Banquet couldn't help but say:

"Your Excellency Lin Yang, the top-grade spiritual universal substance is truly extraordinary; it's almost as if it's not the same type of thing as other grades of spiritual substances."

"I even feel that the power within it can help me cultivate and improve. The special substances that sometimes appear in the Time-Space Turbulence Zone don't give me the same feeling and strong desire as that top-grade spiritual universal substance."

Saying that, he looked at Ziyun and the others: "You all should have this feeling too, right?"

"Indeed!"

Ziyun and the others nodded:

"Although we can still use high-grade spiritual universal substances, that top-grade spiritual universal substance feels like something of a higher level, almost beyond the scope of spiritual substances."

Lin Yang couldn't help but be surprised: "Your Excellency Tea Banquet, you are an existence at the third level of the Breaking Universe Realm. Do you also feel that the top-grade spiritual universal substance is of great use to you?"

According to Ziyun's previous explanation, once one reached the third level of the Breaking Universe Realm, they could no longer improve within the universe.

Spiritual universal substances would also basically be useless.

Either leave the universe and enter the Time-Space Turbulence Zone, groping forward in the Endless Spacetime.

Or guard the connection zone of the Time-Space Turbulence Zone, waiting for special substance resources that occasionally appear.

But the top-grade spiritual universal substance could actually still be of great use to an existence at this level?

Tea Banquet nodded: "Yes, I feel that the top-grade spiritual universal substance is of great use to me! Purely in terms of its attractive power to me, many substances emerging from the Time-Space Turbulence Zone simply cannot compare!"

"Oh... it seems the use of top-grade spiritual universal substance is far beyond our imagination," Lin Yang said.

He was also secretly amazed.

If that were the case, wouldn't enough top-grade spiritual universal substances be able to directly cultivate the strongest third-level Breaking Universe Realm existences?!

Of course, this thought merely flashed through his mind.

The fact that the System could only give him three opportunities to fuse top-grade spiritual universal substances indicated that this quality of spiritual universal substance was indeed quite precious.

It should be very difficult to obtain many top-grade spiritual universal substances.

It was probably unrealistic to pile up a powerful third-level Breaking Universe Realm Old Ancestor with a large amount of top-grade spiritual universal substances.

Thinking of this, Lin Yang asked the System: "Are there only those three opportunities to fuse top-grade spiritual universal substances? Can I get additional opportunities if I pay?"

"Host, you can exchange for other opportunities by paying, but the price is very high. This System does not highly recommend you do so."

The System replied, then added:

"Of course, at least for now, this System does not highly recommend you do so, because currently, exchanging for one opportunity to fuse a top-grade spiritual universal substance requires at least ten billion national treasure value. However, if your strength greatly improves, this price will decrease accordingly. Exchanging then would be more cost-effective."

"Oh..." Lin Yang immediately stopped asking questions.

The price was indeed very expensive.

Moreover, he didn't necessarily need more top-grade spiritual universal substances for now.

It wouldn't be too late to consider exchanging when he reached the third level of the Breaking Universe Realm.

Save where you can!

Then, he thought for a moment and took out the remaining half of the top-grade spiritual universal substance from when Shang Chengfeng was treated, handing it to Tea Banquet:

"Your Excellency Tea Banquet, here is half a portion. Why don't you absorb it and see how much it can improve you? It would also provide us with some data."

"Eh?!"

The people at the Tea Banquet immediately widened their eyes again!

"Your... Your Excellency Lin Yang, you actually have other top-grade spiritual universal substances?"

Everyone was stunned again!

Such an exceptionally precious item, and Lin Yang actually had more than one?

"Cough cough, actually there are only three portions in total. This one is what was left over from treating Chengfeng's soul injury back then. I just gave one portion to Your Excellency Kong Shan Yu, and I'm keeping the last one for myself to use when I break through to the Breaking Universe Realm."

Lin Yang said.

The item was precious and rare, but he had already planned that the remaining portion would not be given to anyone else.

"So that's it, Your Excellency Lin Yang actually used top-grade spiritual universal substance to heal Chengfeng's injuries back then, no wonder his injuries recovered so quickly!"

Upon hearing this, the people at the Tea Banquet were all amazed again.

Although they had never asked Lin Yang how he treated Shang Chengfeng back then, they were all very curious.

Now, this question was completely answered.

Lin Yang himself possessed the Life attribute talent, coupled with the auxiliary healing of the top-grade spiritual universal substance.

It was no wonder that Shang Chengfeng recovered so quickly.

"Lin Yang, boy, you really are... I, Old Pan, have never admired anyone, but I admire you now!"

The chubby Old Man Pan Tian suddenly gave Lin Yang a thumbs up:

"To use such a precious top-grade spiritual universal substance to treat that boy Chengfeng when you weren't even familiar with him, if it were me, I probably wouldn't bear to!"

There were only three portions in total, and he used half a portion for Shang Chengfeng, and gave one portion to Kong Shan Yu.

The remaining half was given to Tea Banquet.

This meant that two portions were all spent on these outsiders!

Honestly, Pan Tian genuinely admired Lin Yang at this moment.

After all, not everyone could achieve Lin Yang's level.

Lin Yang smiled: "Chengfeng's sister saved me when I had just escaped and was unconscious in the universe. My treatment of Chengfeng is also to repay that kindness. Moreover, Chengfeng possesses an excellent Life attribute talent. Since I encountered him, I couldn't just watch him be buried."

"As for the item, no matter how precious, it's still the same saying: it must be used to show its value."

Pan Tian nodded: "No matter what, in short, I, this old man, admire you!"

Tea Banquet didn't say much, nor did he refuse the half portion of top-grade spiritual universal substance Lin Yang gave him.

Firstly, Lin Yang just said he hoped to know through him how much effect a portion of top-grade spiritual universal substance could have on an existence at his level.

Secondly, he truly couldn't resist the temptation that the top-grade spiritual universal substance brought him!

Therefore, Tea Banquet also immediately went into seclusion to cultivate and improve.

Ziyun and the others then left separately.

Lin Yang also continued to improve himself.

The reason he didn't give the half portion of top-grade spiritual universal substance to Shang Chengfeng to accelerate his breakthrough to the Spirit Realm.

Was because with Shang Chengfeng's talent and aptitude, breaking through to the Spirit Realm was a certainty, and it wouldn't take too long.

Compared to the little time saved by accelerating the breakthrough, giving it to Tea Banquet offered the highest cost-effectiveness.

It could allow Tea Banquet's strength to improve somewhat, and also obtain data on the effect of top-grade spiritual universal substance on third-level Breaking Universe Realm existences.

Especially, at Tea Banquet's level, even a slight improvement would create a greater advantage when facing other Old Ancestors of the same rank.

This would give them a greater advantage against the Alien Race Allied Forces' Old Ancestor, who was also at the third level... Time passed.

In the blink of an eye, another seven or eight years passed.

It had been almost twenty years since Lin Yang first broke through to the Ling Tong Realm and assisted Ziyun in killing Old Ancestor Bi Chi.

During these nearly twenty years, the Alien Race Allied Forces had not made any further moves.

But the more this was the case, the more vigilant Ziyun and the others became.

Kong Shan Yu, who had taken that top-grade spiritual universal substance to go into seclusion, had not yet emerged.

Tea Banquet, however, had provided Lin Yang and the others with some data three years ago after he used half a portion of the top-grade spiritual universal substance.

The improvement that half a portion of top-grade spiritual universal substance brought to Tea Banquet could not be simply calculated by strength intensity.

Because, utilizing the special nature of the top-grade spiritual universal substance, Tea Banquet's comprehension of spiritual divine abilities could deepen considerably.

This was an extremely significant effect!

Because it meant that with the help of the top-grade spiritual universal substance, one could better communicate with the power of heaven and earth.

This was a more valuable effect and a greater benefit than simply increasing power!

Simply absorbing the spiritual power within the top-grade spiritual substance to enhance one's strength would be the greatest waste!

This data also made Lin Yang and the others once again realize the immense utility of the top-grade spiritual universal substance.

At the same time, during these past seven or eight years, Lin Yang also visited Shang Qingluo, who was in hibernation.

Back then, Shang Qingluo sacrificed Forbidden Power, and her Life force was extracted. Although a sliver of her vitality was ultimately preserved,

even with Your Excellency Lin Yang's current power of Life characteristics, he couldn't reverse Shang Qingluo's injuries.

The power level of that Forbidden Power was too strong, so Your Excellency Lin Yang could only nourish Shang Qingluo's body with Life force.

"What a pity. If I had been able to sense that special existence in my soul when the black mist appeared back then, perhaps I could have directly absorbed the power of that black mist."

Lin Yang sighed inwardly.

That special power within his soul could absorb the Forbidden Power of the black mist, but it could only directly absorb the black mist when it appeared and before it caused any damage.

However, Shang Qingluo's Life force had already been extracted, her body was already damaged, and the black mist had long since dissipated on its own. Now, he could only think of other solutions.

That special power in his soul couldn't heal injuries.

Although Shang Chengfeng was distressed, since even Your Excellency Lin Yang currently had no solution, he could only work harder to improve himself.

He hoped that one day he would become a powerful Life existence and personally save his older sister... On this day,

Your Excellency Lin Yang was condensing his spiritual power when a piercing alarm suddenly sounded from within the Human War Alliance.

At the same time, Your Excellency Lin Yang received a message from Tea Banquet:

"Your Excellency Lin Yang, the Alien Race Allied Forces have launched a massive invasion! Please come to the first battlefield for support immediately!"

Your Excellency Lin Yang stood up, a cold glint flashing in his eyes: "Have they finally made their move?"

After nearly twenty years of peace, the Alien Race finally couldn't resist making a move!

Whoosh.

The next instant, Your Excellency Lin Yang appeared on the battlefield.

Aside from Kong Shan Yu, who was still in seclusion, Tea Banquet and the others were already gathered here.

And the eleven Old Ancestors of the Alien Race had all appeared!

"It seems they are truly preparing for a decisive battle," Your Excellency Lin Yang murmured.

This formation was too grand.

All eleven Old Ancestor-level existences of the Alien Race were dispatched, clearly intending to kill Tea Banquet and the others in one fell swoop.

"Tea Banquet, your Human Race and we have fought for so many years. This time, let's bring it to a complete end."

Old Ancestor Yuan Chen, who was at the third level of the Breaking Universe Realm among the Alien Race, spoke faintly.

"I was just thinking the same thing!" Tea Banquet's gaze was equally profound.

"Where is Kong Shan Yu? If he's not here, I'm afraid you are no match for us." Old Ancestor Yuan Chen said, glancing at Your Excellency Lin Yang, "It seems this spatial spirit master has also improved considerably over the years."

"Yuan Chen, no need for more words. You've prepared for so many years, and today you've all come out. You must have prepared the means to kill us, so show them one by one," Tea Banquet said calmly.

"Haha, Tea Banquet, I must say, you are truly annoying yet also somewhat admirable."

Old Ancestor Yuan Chen looked at Tea Banquet, without the usual hostility of mortal enemies meeting. Instead, he spoke in a calm tone, as if reminiscing with an old friend:

"In this era of the entire Ten Thousand Realms Universe, only you and I have reached the third level. Your talent isn't dazzling, at least it's still inferior to mine, but you've managed to support the entire Human Race. If you and I weren't enemies, perhaps we could have joined forces to explore the Endless Spacetime."

"But unfortunately, one of us must die."

Old Ancestor Yuan Chen's words carried an indescribable emotion.

It seemed there was still a hint of mutual appreciation for Tea Banquet.

Your Excellency Lin Yang looked at Old Ancestor Yuan Chen's expression and could somewhat understand the guy's feelings.

After all, only two of them in this entire era had reached the same level.

It's lonely at the top.

Although they were enemies, having fought for so many years, they understood each other too well.

It was an appreciation for a strong opponent of the same realm.

Tea Banquet's expression was calm: "You are also a good opponent."

"Haha, merely good?"

Old Ancestor Yuan Chen chuckled, seemingly dissatisfied with this evaluation, then said:

"Then today, let's have one last exhilarating battle."

"For so many years, you for the Human Race, and I for the Alien Race Allied Forces, neither of us has ever gone all out, because neither could afford to lose."

"But today, I think we can fight with all our might."

Old Ancestor Yuan Chen stared at Tea Banquet:

"Your Human Race has produced that newly advanced spatial spirit master. We will not allow him to grow further under any circumstances. We must kill him, and you will surely protect him. I don't need to say more about all of this. After today, there will be no more Human Race."

"I can give you a chance to fight me!"

Tea Banquet also stared at Old Ancestor Yuan Chen: "Are you so confident you can destroy my Human Race?"

"Naturally!"

Old Ancestor Yuan Chen nodded:

"We have prepared for nearly twenty years for this; there will be no accidents."

"Is that so? Then let me see what methods you possess!" Tea Banquet said calmly.

"Are you sure you don't want to fight me first?"

Old Ancestor Yuan Chen looked at Tea Banquet:

"If we fight a decisive battle now, you will lose this last and only chance!"

"Heh heh, no need to waste time. I'm not curious about the upper limit of your strength!" Tea Banquet shook his head.

"Alas, that's truly a pity."

Old Ancestor Yuan Chen sighed, then his expression turned cold:

"Since that's the case, if you don't want to live longer, then so be it. Let's make our move!"

With that, Old Ancestor Yuan Chen waved his hand, and the Alien Race Old Ancestors behind him instantly erupted with aura, surrounding and attacking Zi Yun and the others.

He, however, still attacked Tea Banquet.

At the same time, a large number of Alien Race powerhouses and warships appeared above various Human Race planets, simultaneously commencing a massacre.

"Hahahaha, you Alien Race brats, I've waited for this day for too long! You've finally arrived!"

On a Human Race planet, facing the suddenly appearing Alien Race warships, the generals on that planet showed no panic. Instead, they revealed expressions of long-awaited anticipation.

Then, to the astonished expressions of the Alien Race, one Level 8 warship and one Level 9 warship ascended into the sky.

"You Human Race fellows, are you joking? With only two warships, you dare to speak such arrogant words?"

The Alien Race leader mocked aloud.

But, the next moment,

he couldn't laugh anymore.

The Level 8 and Level 9 warships fired one after another.

Boom boom boom.

Several energy weapons were fired.

A large number of Alien Race warships were instantly shot down.

They were even completely destroyed.

"This... what kind of power is this?"

All the Alien Race were stunned.

The power of the weapons on the Level 8 and Level 9 warships made their hearts tremble.

"This is the power to send you on your way!"

The Human Race general on that planet shouted.

Subsequently, the weapon Systems of the two warships locked onto the remaining Alien Race powerhouses and fired continuously.

Whether they were ordinary Gene Warriors or common extraordinary powerhouses,

under the attack of the Level 8 and Level 9 warship weapons, they were all instantly annihilated.

There were no exceptions.

In an instant, the Alien Race were greatly alarmed!

Then they prepared to flee.

Their warships simply couldn't withstand a single attack from the Human Race warships; the disparity was too great.

However, under the lock-on of the Level 8 and Level 9 warships, they had no chance to escape.

Soon, all the invading Alien Race on that planet, both individuals and warships, were completely annihilated!

Following that, the Level 8 warship stayed to guard the planet, while the Level 9 warship directly counter-invaded the Alien Race Universe Zone planets.

In just a few minutes, offense and defense were reversed.

The Human Race planets that should have been extensively massacred suffered almost no significant losses.

And the situation on this planet was also happening on other Human Race planets!

Yes, that's right.

Over these nearly twenty years, the Human War Alliance spared no expense to manufacture a large number of Level 8 and Level 9 warships, then secretly deployed them to Human Race planets.

Of course, not all Human Race planets could be covered.

However, thanks to the Alien Race Allied Forces' previous multiple invasions, the Human War Alliance had concentrated and transferred the Human Race from smaller planets to larger ones, and the Alien Race had not grown suspicious.

Therefore, this defense and counter-invasion proceeded incredibly smoothly.

When the Level 8 and Level 9 warships counter-invaded the Alien Race planets, the massacre began anew.

The first to bear the brunt was the Snow Feather Race.

Hundreds of Level 9 warships appeared above the Snow Feather Race's homeworld, carrying out a carpet-bombing annihilation of the Snow Feather Race's homeworld with absolute overwhelming firepower.

Except for the planet itself not being destroyed, there was no living creature left breathing on the entire Snow Feather Race homeworld.

Mountains were leveled, and oceans were filled.

Underground creatures and marine creatures were all killed.

Only a few Ling Tong Realm powerhouses barely managed to escape.

And this was merely the beginning of the Human War Alliance's counter-massacre against the Alien Race Allied Forces.

The Wan Jie Universe Region has over three thousand universes.

The Level 9 warships built by the Human War Alliance in these nearly twenty years numbered as many as twelve thousand.

On average, three Level 9 warships could be deployed in each universe.

For Alien Race universes with only a maximum Level 7 technological civilization,

three Level 9 warships were enough to destroy all civilizations within any universe.

Moreover, to ensure the efficiency of this Alien Race cleansing,

a large number of Level 8 warships also conducted secondary purges.

Aside from the escape of Ling Tong Realm powerhouses, it can be said that all Alien Race Universe Zone planets that joined the Alien Race Allied Forces were thoroughly annihilated, with every inch dug up.

On this day, all races in the Ten Thousand Realms Universe witnessed the power of the Human War Alliance, and it was forever etched into the history of the Ten Thousand Realms Universe.

In the First Universe Outer Battlefield.

The Alien Race Old Ancestors and Tea Banquet had just begun fighting.

They immediately received a large number of distress messages.

The content of each message filled these Alien Race Old Ancestors with horror!

Unknown-level warships of the Human War Alliance had simultaneously counter-invaded the major universes of the Alien Race Allied Forces and carried out massacres in a short period!

Except for Ling Tong Realm powerhouses, all others were killed!

"This, this..."

All eleven Alien Race Old Ancestors, including Old Ancestor Yuan Chen, received messages from their respective races stating that their races had been almost completely annihilated.

In an instant, everyone was stunned, their eyes bloodshot.

Old Ancestor Yuan Chen stared at the distress message repeatedly, seemingly unable to believe what he was seeing.

Then, he suddenly glared at Tea Banquet:

"You... where did you get those high-level warships?!"

He couldn't believe what the message said: except for some powerful Ling Tong Realm powerhouses, everyone else was instantly killed by the attacks of those Level 9 warships.

How could this be?!!!

"Heh heh, no comment!"

However, Tea Banquet merely chuckled softly, with no intention of telling him.

Old Ancestor Yuan Chen was stunned for a moment, then fell into boundless fury.

His race was practically annihilated.

This made him instantly unable to bear it.

"Old ghost Tea Banquet!

"I want you dead!"

"I want your Human Race to all die too!"

The next instant, Old Ancestor Yuan Chen erupted.

With their races almost annihilated, the foundation for these Old Ancestors to live instantly collapsed.

"You have high-level warships and annihilated our races, so we will annihilate you, and then destroy every single person of your Human Race one by one!"

Old Ancestor Yuan Chen's furious roar echoed through the sky.

His race being annihilated didn't matter.

They would just annihilate the Human Race!

"It's useless for you to annihilate our ordinary clansmen. As long as we are still alive, our races will one day grow strong again!"

As Old Ancestor Yuan Chen spoke, he also brought the other Old Ancestors back to their senses from the sudden immense shock.

Then, wisps of black mist directly emerged from several of them, rushing towards Zi Yun and the others.

"For my race, Zi Yun and the rest of you, die!!"

"Forbidden Power, you actually all sacrificed Forbidden Power?!"

Looking at the Alien Race Old Ancestors from whom black mist emerged, Zi Yun and the others were all stunned for a moment.

Then they instantly understood what the Alien Race's prepared methods over the years truly were!

"You, these years, you've been searching for a source of Forbidden Power that allows Old Ancestor-level existences to sacrifice themselves?!"

"Are you insane?"

Zi Yun and the others were astonished!

These Alien Race Old Ancestors were so mad and unscrupulous in their desire to kill them!
