178: Chapter 178 Slaying the Extraordinary, Changes in the System Panel

Standing to the side, Uncle Jiang's pupils dilated sharply the moment he saw Lin Yuan take action.

As an expert at the Ninth Level of the Profound Mystery Realm, he saw through all of Lin Yuan's methods in an instant.

"It's actually a Space-type Profound Mystery! That's one of the top three most powerful mysteries, yet he actually comprehended it while still in the Mortal Realm?"

"And this is...? Slaughter Domain!!! One of the hardest to comprehend and most powerful domains!"

"And... this, this, this... is this a Divine Ability? Such an invincible aura! Yes, it must be a Divine Ability. Back when I followed the Alliance Leader to battle across the starry sky, I was fortunate enough to see a prominent figure use one. It was this exact feeling, but it was nowhere near as imposing as the Divine Ability this young man is using..."

"My Eldest Miss! Just where did you find such a monster? He looks like he's not even twenty yet, right? Why the hell would she still marry the Young Master of Sirius? That would be brainless!!!"

"No! I must save him no matter what later. He cannot die! His talent is heaven-defying, and the Eldest Miss likes him. Even if it means going to war with the Sirius Alliance, it's worth it!"

Uncle Jiang's expression shifted uncertainly, but no one was paying attention to him right now; everyone was focused on the two people fighting.

Lin Yuan also hadn't expected that simply assuming a combat stance would conquer this proud expert of the Ninth Level of the Profound Mystery Realm...

Even his attitude had undergone a 180-degree turn in an instant...

...

Just then,

Lin Yuan's large silver palm print collided with Old Liu's palm.

Boom!!

With a loud bang, Old Liu staggered back several steps. His internal organs shook, and his pupils gradually dilated.

"How is this possible!? I am a powerhouse at the Mystic Realm Second Level! How can a mere Quasi-Transcendent contend with me? This is absolutely impossible!!!"

Old Liu looked at his palm in disbelief and let out a furious roar.

"I already said, there's nothing special about Transcendents. Now, die!"

Lin Yuan's longsword was coated with the Profound Mystery Dimensional Slash. He teleported over and slashed; Old Liu hurriedly pulled out a silver rod to block repeatedly.

The two exchanged dozens of blows in an instant. Old Liu grew more alarmed as they fought. He was at the Mystic Realm Second Level with a combat power exceeding 3 cores, so how was he being suppressed by a Quasi-Transcendent?

What he didn't know was that with the boost from the Slaughter Domain and his Divine Ability, Lin Yuan's combat power was already close to 30 billion.

After entering the Transcendent stage, combat power used a new unit: the 'Core.' It represented the power to shatter a star's core. Lin Yuan's 30 billion combat power was already equivalent to 3 cores.

Combined with the boost from his Profound Mystery Secret Technique and the suppression effect of his domain, it was only natural for him to suppress his opponent.

...

While the two were clashing, Hua Hongfeng finally arrived and hurried to Mu Qianqian's side.

"Eldest Miss, this old servant is late. Are you alright?" Hua Hongfeng asked hurriedly.

But Mu Qianqian was staring tensely at the sky, having no time to pay him any attention.

This time, Hua Hongfeng carefully observed the battlefield and was immediately struck with shock. It was actually Lin Yuan fighting an old man at the Mystic Realm Second Level.

The old man's strength was far greater than his own before he was injured. To think Lin Yuan could fight such a battle—it seemed he had still vastly underestimated Lin Yuan.

He had even dared to question him like that before; he was truly courting death. How could such a powerhouse allow him to be so insolent? It was a massive favor that the other party hadn't killed him...

...

After exchanging dozens of blows with Old Liu, Lin Yuan was basically familiar with Transcendent power. It wasn't much after all, so it was time to end this.

"Carefree Break!"

With a low shout in his heart, Lin Yuan's divine sense became like a spike, piercing directly into Old Liu's Sea of Consciousness and tearing through his divine sense.

"Ah!!"

Old Liu cried out in pain, involuntarily clutching his head. The intense pain coming from his soul was unbearable.

In the next moment,

A silver light slashed diagonally. Lin Yuan held his sword with both hands and appeared behind Old Liu.

Two seconds later, half of Old Liu's body slid down along a smooth cut at his waist, and the two halves of the corpse crashed toward the ground.

"He's... dead. An expert at the Mystic Realm Second Level died just like that? This is terrifying!"

Hua Hongfeng's mouth hung open, his heart shocked to the extreme. A Quasi-Transcendent slaying a Transcendent—forget their Star Alliance, he hadn't even heard of such a monster before.

No matter how strong a Quasi-Transcendent was, they were still in the Mortal Realm. How could they compete with a Transcendent, who was at a higher life level? To even slay a Transcendent was simply unthinkable, yet Lin Yuan had actually done it...

Mu Qianqian looked at Lin Yuan with a face full of happiness. She knew Lin Yuan could do it. With such a monster of a talent, she didn't believe her father would disagree.

The three Martial Gods in the distance were even more shocked. Lin Yuan had actually killed a Transcendent; it was simply inconceivable...

"Lin Yuan is too strong! Is he still a Martial God? Could he have already advanced to the Transcendent stage?"

"Does it matter if he's advanced or not? What matters is that Lin Yuan just killed a Transcendent! With the power to kill a Transcendent, our Great Xia is going to rise!"

"That's right! The entire Blue Star will follow Lin Yuan's lead!"

...

After swallowing Old Liu's soul body, the ability points on the system panel immediately changed, and a new value appeared.

[transcendent points]: 2 points

"transcendent points? They should be a value similar to ability points after reaching the Transcendent stage. But my combat power can't be increased yet. It seems I must use Mortal Realm ability points to advance to Transcendent before I can continue using transcendent points to improve..."

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan shook his head helplessly and then turned his gaze toward Uncle Jiang.

At this moment, Uncle Jiang's eyes were wide, and his mouth was agape as he stared blankly at him...

"Now do you think I'm qualified to receive the approval of Qianqian's father?" Lin Yuan coldly questioned Uncle Jiang.

"Huh? Oh, yes, it's enough, absolutely enough. You are such a monster... no, 'monster' can no longer describe you. You're simply a freak. I'm convinced, completely convinced. Eldest Miss, your eyes are truly sharp!"

Uncle Jiang suddenly snapped out of his shock and spoke with admiration.

"Uncle Jiang, what are you saying? Lin Yuan and I are truly in love. I didn't like him because of his talent," Mu Qianqian said unpleasantly.

"Right, right, right, look at my mouth, I misspoke. Eldest Miss, come back to the Star Alliance with me first. I will report this to the Alliance Leader. I believe he will agree to your marriage."

"Uncle Jiang, can we take Lin Yuan back with us?" Mu Qianqian asked.

Uncle Jiang pondered for a moment and shook his head.

"Eldest Miss, he cannot go back with us yet. First is his strength; despite his heaven-defying talent, he is not a Transcendent yet, and his future achievements are uncertain. The Alliance Leader won't immediately agree to your matter."

"Furthermore, he killed someone from the Sirius Alliance. If he goes back with us, with the skills of that Celestial Master from the Sirius Alliance, he will definitely be able to observe that Lin Yuan was the killer. If Lin Yuan is in our Haoyue Star Alliance, it will inevitably cause suspicion between the two sides. The other party might not go to war with us, but they will certainly force you to marry."

"However, if Lin Yuan stays on this Indigenous Planet, far away from our Star Alliance, the other party won't be able to observe anything. Instead, it will be safer. We can also use various excuses to delay the wedding date and buy more time for Lin Yuan to rise."

"Once he can surpass the Young Master of Sirius in all aspects, I believe the Alliance Leader will agree to you being together. At that time, even if it means going to war with the Sirius Alliance, I don't think the Alliance Leader would object."

"This... but I don't want to be apart from Lin Yuan," Mu Qianqian's eyes immediately brimmed with tears.

"Sigh... young people..."

Uncle Jiang shook his head with a smile and walked to the side...
