529: Humans, they hide too deep! This is a shame! (66k, monthly ticket subscription required)

Lin Yang also became a little excited.

If Tea Banquet could also come, then the chances of success would be much greater.

However, he immediately thought of another problem:

"Assuming I can bring Your Excellency Tea Banquet, if that Old Ancestor Yuan Chen suddenly attacks when Your Excellency Tea Banquet is not present, and we are also engaged in a great battle, then the Ten Thousand Realms Universe will have no power to defend itself!"

He couldn't let the Ten Thousand Realms Universe fall into crisis because of the battle here.

In response, Ziyun said:

"You can rest assured about this. If Your Excellency Lin Yang can truly travel freely between both sides and bring Tea Banquet, then a few of us can gather our strength to project back. If Old Man Tea Banquet can come, we won't lack the small amount of power from our projections, and our projections can also hold back Old Devil Yuan Chen."

When they came over previously, they hadn't left any power projections in the Ten Thousand Realms Universe.

On one hand, it was to fully assist Lin Yang against the enemy, and on the other hand, it was because they were unsure if projections could be maintained across two Universe Zones.

Therefore, to be safe, no projections were left there at all.

But if Lin Yang could truly travel freely between both sides, then condensing projections back would be no problem.

The power of Tea Banquet alone was enough to compensate for the power consumed by their condensed projections.

As for the question of whether projections could be maintained across both sides, Ziyun also offered a solution in advance:

"If the projections cannot be maintained, then one of us can just go back. Even if two of us go back, Old Man Tea Banquet alone can compensate, so there's no need to worry about Old Devil Yuan Chen suddenly attacking."

"Yes, if the projections cannot be maintained across both sides, then I will go back. My power is the weakest and might not play a crucial role here, but going back to hold off Old Devil Yuan Chen is feasible," Autumn Eaves also added.

Seeing this, Lin Yang said no more and immediately declared: "Since that's the case, then, Master, Director Song, and several Excellencies, please wait a moment. I'll go try and be right back!"

Bai Pang Old Man and Song Qingfeng were still a bit unclear about the meaning of Lin Yang and Ziyun's conversation, but they didn't ask further.

Lin Yang took a decisive step, mobilizing the power of the "World" to directly expand to the barrier in the Unknown Space, then stepped out, arriving before the barrier.

"The power of the World is indeed too strong, but it can only be used now. If I encounter an existence above an Old Ancestor, I cannot easily mobilize the World's power, otherwise, being discovered would be a huge problem!"

Lin Yang sighed, then once again mobilized the World's power, covering himself to attempt crossing this barrier.

Buzz.

A strange sensation, like passing through a water curtain, came, and Lin Yang had already successfully crossed the barrier, returning to the Wan Jie Universe Region.

"This... it actually worked?"

Feeling that he had returned to the Wan Jie Universe Region, Lin Yang himself was stunned for a moment.

This was simply too smooth!

"World, what kind of existence are you, after all?"

Lin Yang was very curious.

But now was clearly not a good time for curiosity.

He suppressed the urge to repeatedly try and test if the "World" had other uses, and with another step, he returned to the Human War Alliance.

Inside the ancient building.

Tea Banquet was sitting cross-legged.

Of course, this was just his projection.

His true body was in the Time-Space Turbulence Zone.

With his strength, he couldn't gain even a tiny bit of improvement in the universe, but he could still gain a little insight in the Time-Space Turbulence Zone.

So normally, he only projected himself into the universe to easily detect anomalies, while his true body stayed in the Time-Space Turbulence Zone year-round.

The moment Lin Yang appeared, Tea Banquet's projection suddenly opened his eyes, looking at Lin Yang with extreme astonishment:

"Your Excellency Lin Yang?? You... didn't you return to the Ten Thousand Universes??"

Tea Banquet was momentarily confused.

The barrier deep in the Unknown Space required at least an existence above an Old Ancestor to cross.

Lin Yang had crossed that barrier by borrowing the power of the strange Stone Statue at the time.

But now he had actually returned, which greatly shocked him!

It had only been two or three days since he left!

"Your Excellency Tea Banquet, I unexpectedly gained a little special improvement, so I now possess the ability to cross that barrier."

Lin Yang briefly explained, then brought up Ziyun and their suggestions.

Tea Banquet's mood finally calmed down a bit, then he exclaimed in admiration:

"Your Excellency Lin Yang, your ability to freely cross the barrier is truly a delightful surprise!"

After Lin Yang and the others left, he had mentally prepared himself not to see Ziyun and the others again for many years.

But he didn't expect the surprise to come so quickly!

After marveling, Tea Banquet immediately said:

"Ziyun's suggestion is very good. Since your opponent there has an additional Old Ancestor of the third level, almost at the limit, then I shall go!"

Since Lin Yang could now cross the barrier at any time, there was no need to worry too much about other things. He only needed to leave this one projection here.

In an instant, Tea Banquet's true body arrived, asking Lin Yang to take him across the barrier.

Soon, they crossed the barrier again.

Lin Yang immediately asked:

"How is it, Your Excellency Tea Banquet, can you still sense your projection in the Ten Thousand Realms Universe?"

Tea Banquet frowned for a moment before saying: "I can sense it, but the perception is a bit blurry. However, it's only a bit blurry, and there's no extra consumption."

"Still able to sense the projection? That's excellent!" Lin Yang was also pleasantly surprised.

"Yes, although the perception is quite blurry, I can still transmit signals." Tea Banquet also smiled and nodded.

"Then let's go back immediately. I'll send Ziyun and their projections to the Ten Thousand Realms Universe again to see if they can also maintain their projections!"

Lin Yang said, taking Tea Banquet outside Blue Star to meet Ziyun and the others.

"Old Man Tea, you've come. This means Your Excellency Lin Yang can indeed cross that barrier at any time?"

Seeing Tea Banquet's true body arrive, Ziyun and the others were all very excited.

"Haha, yes, I can even sense my projection in the War Alliance!" Tea Banquet also laughed heartily.

This feeling was very strange.

"Come, come, Your Excellency Lin Yang, send our projections back and see if our projections can be maintained!" Ziyun and the others all condensed their projections.

Lin Yang became a transporter, taking their projections back again.

Suddenly.

"Your Excellency Lin Yang, it's not working, our projections are about to dissipate immediately!"

The moment they arrived in the Ten Thousand Realms Universe, Ziyun and the others all felt it simultaneously; their projections could not be maintained.

The very next second after Ziyun's projection finished speaking, the projections of several people simultaneously dissipated completely.

"This..."

Lin Yang and Tea Banquet's projections looked at each other.

"Your Excellency Lin Yang, you should go back first and ask their true bodies how they feel!" Tea Banquet's projection said.

"Alright!"

Lin Yang said nothing more and immediately returned.

Then, he discovered that after crossing the barrier twice back and forth, the World's power seemed to have been consumed somewhat.

This startled Lin Yang.

"It seems that crossing the barrier consumes a lot of the World's power. I can't travel back and forth casually anymore. If this thing goes dormant again, I won't be able to find any power to replenish it."

Lin Yang wanted to estimate the consumption of traveling, but he couldn't specifically sense how much was consumed, so he had to return to Blue Star first.

"Your Excellency Lin Yang, our projections cannot be maintained across two Universe Zones."

The moment Lin Yang returned, Ziyun and the others all expressed their feelings.

"We just discussed it and believe that currently, only a projection of an Old Ancestor at the third level can temporarily be maintained across two Universe Zones."

"Even a projection of a newly breakthrough third level might not be able to maintain for too long. As for Old Man Tea's projection still being maintained, it's entirely due to his profound accumulation."

"However, Old Man Tea also said that he felt some strain when speaking to you with his projection just now, which would accelerate consumption. Clearly, maintaining a projection across two Universe Zones is not that simple."

"Therefore, once there is a situation in the Ten Thousand Realms Universe that requires Old Man Tea's projection to act, Old Man Tea's projection also cannot be maintained for too long, and you might still need to send us back in time."

These words made Lin Yang sigh: "I also felt a significant consumption of power when I just crossed the barrier. It seems I can't travel back and forth casually either. So now we need to discuss a strategy: should Your Excellency Tea Banquet continue to stay here, or should I send one or two of you back first? I'm afraid that once a great battle begins, I won't have the chance to send you back."

"Ah? Your Excellency Lin Yang, is your consumption for crossing the barrier also very great?"

Ziyun and the others were also surprised.

"Yes." Lin Yang nodded, then smiled: "But I think we should also be content. The current situation is far better than we imagined, and it's understandable that maintaining projections across Universe Zones has some limitations."

"That's true, haha. In that case, let's send Autumn Eaves back. With Old Man Tea's projection there, plus Autumn Eaves, even if Old Devil Yuan Chen takes the opportunity to cause trouble, they can hold him off for a long time." Ziyun said.

"Alright!"

Lin Yang once again sent Autumn Eaves back.

After another round trip, he felt that the World's power had clearly been consumed quite a bit again.

"I can probably travel a few more round trips..."

Lin Yang felt this, but didn't dwell on it.

Because a few round trips were enough!

Once Northern Branch Rock and the others were dealt with, there would be no need to travel back and forth multiple times.

It wasn't until Lin Yang had sent Autumn Eaves back and returned again that Bai Pang Old Man found another opportunity to inquire.

When he learned that Lin Yang could now freely travel between the two Universe Zones, he was also startled.

Lin Yang thought for a moment, then said somewhat seriously: "Master, and several Excellencies, I beg you to keep the matter of my crossing the barrier a secret. Do not spread it further. I'm afraid it might cause some unnecessary trouble!"

"Understood!"

Tea Banquet and the others immediately nodded.

Bai Pang Old Man and Song Qingfeng naturally also nodded repeatedly and asked no further questions.

Afterward, Lin Yang originally intended to return to Blue Star to prepare, but then a cold shout descended from the distant sky:

"Hmph, Lin Yang, it really is you, this little bastard, who has returned!"

"Northern Branch Rock!!"

In an instant, Lin Yang's eyes turned cold as he looked over.

The next moment, Northern Branch Rock's projection appeared before everyone, sweeping over the people present one by one, then his expression changed, and he looked at Tea Banquet and the others with solemnity, finally staring coldly at Lin Yang:

"No wonder you dared to come back. It seems you've made some formidable friends, and no wonder you were able to kill Zhai Lin and the others."

Although Tea Banquet and the others had concealed their aura, they were still Old Ancestor-level powerhouses, and Northern Branch Rock could still vaguely sense some things.

Especially with the corpses of Zhai Lin and the others still lying there, murderous intent also welled up in his eyes.

"Even if you, this little bastard, have brought some powerful figures this time, you will still die!"

Then, Northern Branch Rock still spoke coldly.

His intent to kill Lin Yang had also persisted for a hundred years.

Lin Yang didn't want to wait.

The moment he learned of Lin Yang's return, he also didn't want to wait, so he instantly sent his projection over to investigate the situation.

After speaking to Lin Yang, he turned to look at Tea Banquet and the others:

"And to all of you, this old man doesn't care who you are or where you come from, but this old man advises you not to easily get involved in this muddy water, otherwise, you will bear the consequences!"

He could sense that Tea Banquet and the others were mostly Old Ancestor-level existences, and although he was equally puzzled and shocked as to where Lin Yang had brought these unfamiliar Old Ancestors from.

But he didn't take it too seriously.

After all, a teammate who was an Old Ancestor of the third level, almost at the limit, gave him too much confidence.

A few more ordinary Old Ancestors wouldn't affect the overall situation much.

If it were a hundred years ago, he definitely wouldn't dare to say such a thing so easily, but now it's different.

As for the threats from Northern Branch Rock and others, Tea Banquet only uttered one word:

"Scram!"

Rumble!

As the word "scram" left his lips, a powerful force instantly slammed into Northern Branch Rock's projection.

Crack, crack.

Northern Branch Rock's projection was instantly forced to dissipate.

"You... who are you?"

Northern Branch Rock was instantly alarmed!

A single force was about to completely shatter his projection; this was definitely not an ordinary Old Ancestor!

"The one who will kill you!"

Tea Banquet spoke again, his gaze deep.

They had all come to assist Lin Yang, and they had no intention of saying anything more to Lin Yang's enemies.

Right or wrong, it was not within their consideration.

As long as it was Lin Yang's enemy, it was their target for this attack!

"Good, good! How arrogant! Then this old man wants to see how you all will kill this old man!!!"

Northern Branch Rock laughed in extreme anger, then voluntarily dispersed his rapidly shattering projection.

In thousands of years, he had never suffered such a provocation, which made Northern Branch Rock's true body in the Time-Space Turbulence Zone instantly step out and arrive in Yu Xia Universe.

Immediately following him were the other seven Old Ancestors!

The eight of them advanced and retreated together.

They all harbored the same killing intent towards Lin Yang!

After all, the Silver-haired woman had fought all eight of them alone back then.

This had long since planted a deep killing intent towards Lin Yang in their hearts.

Seeing this, Lin Yang raised an eyebrow at the White Fatty Old Man:

"Master, you see? You told me to be patient, but these old geezers, knowing I'm back, couldn't wait a single second!"

The White Fatty Old Man smiled helplessly: "Alas, I still underestimated their killing intent towards you!"

"Master, you and Director Song, please retreat for now. I'll deal with these old fogeys."

Lin Yang added.

He could now feel that the White Fatty Old Man was at the Ling Tong Realm level.

Although some of his methods were a bit mysterious and unpredictable, not quite like what a Ling Tong Realm practitioner could possess, he was still a bit short of being an Old Ancestor.

A hundred years ago, the White Fatty Old Man had protected him at the cost of his life.

This time, it was his turn to protect his Master from being affected by the great battle!

Seeing this, the White Fatty Old Man was also a bit moved: "Good, good, my dear disciple, then you shall protect your Master. Let your Master see the strength of my precious disciple, but you must be very careful!"

His tone was also very emotional.

In just a hundred years, his precious disciple had grown to the point where he could, in turn, protect his Master. This made the White Fatty Old Man both relieved and happy.

Northern Branch Rock and the other eight arrived together, standing outside Blue Star.

Killing intent locked onto Lin Yang and Tea Banquet and the others.

Director Song had sent out several messages the moment Northern Branch Rock's projection arrived.

In an instant, several Old Ancestors from their faction also arrived immediately.

There were six in total, including two female Old Ancestors.

At this point, outside Blue Star, besides Lin Yang, who had not yet advanced to Old Ancestor but possessed Old Ancestor combat power, the two sides had a total of nineteen Old Ancestors standing in the void, their power intimidating the Ten Thousand Universes.

Such a huge commotion instantly attracted the attention of all races and forces in the Ten Thousand Universes.

When they saw nineteen Old Ancestors standing outside Blue Star, everyone who could remotely see the situation was stunned into silence!

Although there were many Old Ancestors in the Ten Thousand Universes, never before had so many Old Ancestors gathered at once.

And the two sides were in a life-and-death struggle.

This instantly shook the entire Ten Thousand Universes!

"That young man among the Old Ancestors is Lin Yang, isn't he? A hundred years ago, he was ambushed at the Source Star entrance, barely escaped, and hasn't reappeared in these hundred years. Now he's back."

Some Foreign race Old Ancestors conversed remotely.

"It's him. The five Old Ancestors next to him are very unfamiliar. When did humanity gain five more Old Ancestors who seem very extraordinary?"

"I don't know, but if they start a war now, wouldn't it give the Mingye Clan and the Lingyou Clan an opportunity?"

"Heh heh, they are already in a life-and-death struggle, this great battle is inevitable. As for giving an opportunity, it's unavoidable, but the few Old Ancestors of the Neutral Faction haven't appeared, they should be guarding against the Old Ancestors of the Lingyou Clan and the Mingye Clan."

"Alas, the Human Race is truly the well-deserved number one race. Even with internal strife to this extent, they can still spare a few Neutral Faction Old Ancestors to guard against outsiders."

"..."

Some Foreign race Old Ancestors looked on with envy.

After all, apart from the Human Race, no other Foreign race possessed so many Old Ancestor powerhouses.

"Lin Yang, die!"

After the Old Ancestors gathered, Northern Branch Rock was the first to attack, directly targeting Lin Yang.

The other seven did not move, apparently wanting Northern Branch Rock to make the first move, to provoke Tea Banquet and the others to protect Lin Yang, and to test the strength of these unfamiliar Old Ancestors.

"Northern Branch Rock, your opponents are us!"

However, Tea Banquet and the others also did not make a move.

Instead, two female Old Ancestors from Song Qingfeng's faction directly went up to intercept Northern Branch Rock.

This was, of course, also a tactic.

Although Lin Yang also wanted to personally deal with Northern Branch Rock, this old undying one was a third-tier Old Ancestor, and he was still temporarily lacking some power.

And these two female Old Ancestors were both second-tier Old Ancestors.

The two of them would hold back Northern Branch Rock, while the remaining four Old Ancestors from their own faction would each deal with another stronger third-tier Old Ancestor.

The remaining six on Northern Branch Rock's side, including that nearly ultimate guy, would have to be handled by Tea Banquet and his group.

"Meng Yuwan."

"Hua Qianyu."

Northern Branch Rock snorted angrily at the sight:

"Get out of my way!"

Among the Old Ancestors of Song Qingfeng's faction, these two were the most troublesome.

He also disliked fighting these two female Old Ancestors the most.

Because his power was slightly restrained by these two female Old Ancestors.

However, even if he didn't want to fight, he was forced to.

As long as he made a move, no matter when he attacked, he would be targeted by these two.

"Heh heh, Northern Branch Rock, speaking of which, it's been nearly a thousand years since we've had a proper fight. Let us two see if you've made any progress."

Meng Yuwan said with a beaming smile, and with a tacit understanding with Hua Qianyu, she intercepted Northern Branch Rock.

Northern Branch Rock snorted again in anger, gave Lin Yang a cold glance, then soared into the sky, heading towards outer space.

It wasn't that he didn't want to take the opportunity to destroy Blue Star, but at their level, only by fighting in outer space could they have sufficient power to call upon.

Meng Yuwan and Hua Qianyu also followed closely, and in an instant, they were battling in outer space.

Seeing that Northern Branch Rock was unexpectedly intercepted by the two female Old Ancestors and failed to provoke Tea Banquet and the others into action.

The remaining seven no longer probed and instantly surged with power, attacking one after another.

The nearly ultimate Old Ancestor and Tea Banquet also, under a unique subtle tacit understanding, simultaneously chose to attack each other.

Clearly, the perceptions of strong individuals were largely similar.

They could both sense that the other was the strongest in their respective camps.

Boom!

Boom!

The two exchanged a blow in an instant.

Neither side gained the upper hand.

And this single blow instantly shocked everyone!

"Oh my god, what the hell? This unfamiliar Old Ancestor can actually fight to a draw with Fang Jibai, who is almost at his limit?!"

All the powerhouses watching from afar were stunned in that instant!

One must know that Fang Jibai was the first third-tier Old Ancestor in this era who was about to reach his limit!

His strength was naturally beyond doubt!

But now, an unfamiliar Old Ancestor who appeared out of nowhere actually fought Fang Jibai to a draw.

This left many of the watching powerhouses bewildered.

The Human Race actually had two nearly ultimate Old Ancestors at the same time!

Some Foreign race Old Ancestors felt an inexplicable tremor in their hearts at this moment!

"Humans are simply too deeply hidden!"

Many Foreign race Old Ancestor powerhouses simultaneously had this thought!

Some Foreign race Old Ancestors were even more fortunate that they hadn't blindly joined the Mingye Clan and Lingyou Clan's camps before.

Otherwise, no matter who won or lost the internal war today, there wouldn't be much good fruit for them to eat!

Fang Jibai himself was also shocked, not having expected Tea Banquet to be so strong!

Although he had sensed that Tea Banquet was the strongest among the few, he had never thought that his strength would be on par with his own!

This made him narrow his eyes, revealing a hint of killing intent towards Tea Banquet.

An inexplicable Old Ancestor powerhouse, if not killed, would surely become a great hidden danger!

Tea Banquet also sensed Fang Jibai's killing intent towards him at the same instant, but he merely smiled slightly and beckoned to Fang Jibai.

At this moment, boundless fighting spirit also surged within him.

Previously, in the Ten Thousand Realms Universe, Old Ancestor Yuan Chen wanted to fight him during the decisive battle.

But at that time, he held back and did not engage in a great battle with Old Ancestor Yuan Chen.

Because he couldn't afford to lose then.

However, Tea Banquet's heart also yearned to encounter an evenly matched opponent for a great battle.

This could bring him more gains and insights, perhaps pushing him to a higher level.

Now, Fang Jibai was a suitable opponent.

Tea Banquet's somewhat provocative gesture also caused coldness to surge in Fang Jibai's eyes:

"No matter where you came from, since you stand on the opposite side of us, today, there is only death!"

Boom!

In the next instant, the two simultaneously charged at each other.

In an instant, outer space vibrated, and the stars shifted.

And this was merely the beginning of the shock to all the Old Ancestors in the Ten Thousand Universes.

They saw that Lin Yang actually actively confronted an Old Ancestor from Northern Branch Rock's faction, intending to fight him.

This scene directly stunned everyone again.

"Am I seeing things? That kid wants to deal with an Old Ancestor?"

An Foreign race Old Ancestor even rubbed his eyes, somewhat disbelieving what he saw.

Another Foreign race Old Ancestor also followed, saying:

"If this old man remembers correctly, this kid only just broke through to the Spirit Realm a hundred years ago. Now he wants to fight an Old Ancestor? Is he crazy?"

Not only were the Old Ancestor powerhouses watching stunned.

Even Yan Jiunie, the Old Ancestor whom Lin Yang confronted, was also momentarily stunned.

His intention in attacking Lin Yang was to draw out the other Old Ancestors around Lin Yang to act.

But, not only did those Old Ancestor powerhouses not intend to block him for Lin Yang.

Even Lin Yang himself showed no intention of dodging, but instead actively came forward to attack him.

This instantly made Yan Jiunie feel greatly provoked and insulted!

A kid who only broke through to the Spirit Realm a hundred years ago actually wanted to fight an Old Ancestor like him!

This was an insult to him!

"Lin Yang!!"

"You little bastard, you're looking for death!"

Yan Jiunie instantly became furious, slamming down with a palm, intending to instantly kill Lin Yang on the spot.

After all, Lin Yang didn't confront the attacks of the other Old Ancestors; instead, he only attacked him.

This made him feel too humiliated!

He had to slap Lin Yang to death to vent his anger!
