477: Ultimately, is it really that difficult?

The teleportation channel Lie Yang took Lin Chen into was of a very high level, capable of ultra-long-distance teleportation.

Furthermore, this distance would directly break through the barrier of the dimensional crystal walls of the Six-Dimensional World.

Half an hour later.

Lin Chen and the others appeared on a planet with extremely dense Spiritual Qi.

Before their eyes was a magnificent and overbearing fiery-red grand hall.

The teleportation formation was right in the center of the hall.

Inside the hall, there were also over a dozen Peak Ancestor Realm members of the Giant Strength Ant Clan standing guard.

Upon seeing Lie Yang's figure appear in the teleportation formation, they all came forward and bowed respectfully.

"Greetings, Envoy Lie Yang!"

Lie Yang was in a very good mood today.

He waved his hand slightly and said:

"Activate the teleportation formation to the Ancestral Star."

Hearing this, the dozen or so Ancestor Realm experts respectfully withdrew.

The Ancestral Star of the Giant Strength Fire Ant Clan was a Tenth-Level Life Planet.

Not just anyone could go there.

Ordinary beings had no chance at all.

Even Lie Yang had to make preparations in advance, contacting the Ancestral Star before activating the teleportation channel to return.

Because this Ancestral Star was the core territory of the Giant Strength Fire Ant Clan.

This was also to prevent infiltration by the Guixu Clan... Lin Chen also took this time to sense this Ninth-Level Life Planet.

A Ninth-Level Life Planet could be considered the highest-level life planet that ordinary beings could come into contact with.

It was also the place closest to the ruling class of the Heavenly Palace.

As far as Lin Chen knew, within a Star Domain, there were only about a hundred Ninth-Level Life Planets.

As for Tenth-Level Life Planets, they were even rarer; one might only appear across a dozen Star Domains... With a single thought, Lin Chen's true spirit radiated outward.

Upon arriving in the Six-Dimensional World, that terrifying suppression appeared once again.

The sensing range of his true spirit and his teleportation distance were both suppressed by a thousandfold!

Here, Lin Chen's true spirit perception was only 10 billion light-years in diameter.

While his teleportation distance was 30 billion light-years.

This was still thanks to his Origin True One Great Dao, which had significantly enhanced his space-time abilities.

Otherwise, his teleportation distance would have been even lower... but even within this range of 10 billion light-years...

Lin Chen sensed the auras of at least ten thousand Half-step God Venerable level beings!

There were also over a hundred existences with auras as terrifying as Lie Yang's!

There were even a few existences in this city with obscure auras that filled his heart with dread... Instantly, Lin Chen understood the power of a Ninth-Level Life Planet.

One must know that the diameter of a Ninth-Level Life Planet was at least a trillion light-years!

He was currently in a giant city.

How many such giant cities were there on this planet?

There must be at least ten thousand of them... At this rate, there would be over a hundred million Half-step God Venerable Realm beings!

And this was only a single Ninth-Level Life Planet.

In the entire Heavenly Palace Realm, calculating by 100 Ninth-Level Life Planets per Star Domain...

...that would mean there are trillions of Half-step God Venerable Realm beings!

And this wasn't even including Level 8, Level 7... and other such life planets.

A massive wave of shock surged in Lin Chen's heart.

He had originally thought that by breaking through to Half-step God Venerable, he could be considered a powerhouse in the Heavenly Palace Realm.

But now he realized he was still just one member among the vast torrent of martial arts... The Heavenly Palace Realm was only a low-level Six-Dimensional World.

What about the Guixu Realm then?

In the Guixu Realm, even Level 1 Life Planets had God Venerable Realm experts!

At this moment, Lin Chen understood how vast the gap between the two worlds was.

At the same time, he understood that saying even better.

In the Six-Dimensional World, the Ancestor Realm is just the starting point!

Even a Half-step God Venerable has only taken a small step... The path is long and difficult!

"Lin Chen, the teleportation formation is activated. Let's go."

Lin Chen pulled back his thoughts and followed Lie Yang to another grand hall.

Buzz—

The moment he stepped into the teleportation formation...

...Lin Chen and Lie Yang's figures disappeared.

This teleportation formation was even more Advanced than the previous one.

Lin Chen only felt a flash of light and shadow before his eyes, and he had already reached his destination.

As soon as he appeared, he felt a powerful aura sweep over him.

"Lin Chen, don't resist. This is an Elder performing a routine identity check."

An Elder?

Lin Chen was slightly startled.

Someone whom even Lie Yang called an Elder must be at least a powerhouse at the God Emperor level!

Thus, Lin Chen waited quietly for a moment.

After a long while?

A voice carrying a hint of the vicissitudes of time rang out.

"Kid Lie Yang, is he the human you mentioned?"

"I've checked; there's nothing wrong with him..."

"To be able to condense a primal origin body in a resource-poor place like the Lower Realm, you are quite good, little fellow."

Buzz—

An elderly man of the Giant Strength Fire Ant Clan, dressed in a black robe, appeared.

"Lin Chen, this is Elder Qing Yan, a Peak God Emperor powerhouse, specifically responsible for guarding the Ancestral Star's teleportation channel."

Peak God Emperor?

Lin Chen's heart jolted, and he immediately spoke respectfully.

"Junior Lin Chen greets Elder Qing Yan."

Qing Yan, dressed in the black robe, waved his hand slightly; he didn't have the slightest air of a Peak God Emperor powerhouse.

He said with a smile:

"Little fellow, since you've joined our Giant Strength Fire Ant lineage, you're one of our own from now on. There's no need for formalities."

"Our Giant Strength Fire Ant Clan doesn't care for those old-fashioned rules."

"Remember, here, strength is king!"

Lin Chen nodded with a smile.

He liked this kind of environment.

Qing Yan stared at Lin Chen, and a strange look suddenly flashed in his eyes.

"Little fellow, what grade is your Great Dao?"

Hmm?

Lin Chen was slightly stunned.

Could his Origin True One Great Dao have been discovered?

He hadn't shown even a shred of his Great Dao's aura... The Origin True One Great Dao was too Heaven-Defying.

He didn't want to expose it before he had truly grown strong.

Although the Giant Strength Fire Ant lineage seemed safe for now.

But the more it was like this, the more careful he had to be.

This martial arts world was always a world that devoured people without leaving even the bones... With a thought...

Lin Chen began to derive through the Origin True One Great Dao.

He derived an Ultimate-grade Great Dao.

Ultimate corresponded to a Four-Star Divine Venerable!

"Elder Qing Yan, my Great Dao-Grade is at the Ultimate level."

Lin Chen said calmly, without his face turning red or his heart racing.

At his level, it was very simple to hide his inner thoughts.

Even if the opponent was a Peak God Emperor, they couldn't pry into them at all.

But unexpectedly, the moment Lin Chen stated his Great Dao-Grade...

...Lie Yang and Qing Yan both cried out in surprise at the same time.

"What!"

"Lin Chen, is your Great Dao really at the Ultimate level?"

Lin Chen was startled.

After seeing that Elder Qing Yan and Lie Yang meant no harm...

...he slowly released a sliver of the Great Dao he had just derived.

Buzz—

A space-time ripple flashed by.

Lie Yang's eyes widened, looking at Lin Chen in disbelief.

Even Elder Qing Yan's face turned flushed.

"This... it's even of the Great Dao of Space-Time attribute!"

"It really is Ultimate!"

"Good! Excellent! Hahahaha..."

"Lie Yang, you kid have truly performed a great service this time!"

Lin Chen slightly restrained his aura; he was currently in a state of complete bewilderment.

Is an Ultimate Level Great Dao that hard?

It was a good thing he hadn't derived a supreme-grade Great Dao... By now, Lie Yang had also snapped out of it.

His expression was extremely excited.

"Lin Chen, you've really given me a huge surprise."

"Do you know? Among the three—true spirit, Physical Body, and Great Dao—the hardest grade to improve is the Great Dao!"

"Our Giant Strength Fire Ant lineage, although our physical talent is Heaven-Defying and we can reach the Ultimate level upon reaching adulthood..."

"...it is far, far too difficult for our Great Dao to reach the Ultimate level."

"Even though our clan is extremely compatible with the Daos of Fire and Strength, it is just as difficult."

"In our clan, those who can become Four-Star Divine Venerables number less than a hundred."

"Most are Two-Star or Three-Star Divine Venerables..."

So few?

Lin Chen finally understood why they were so shocked.

It turned out he had overestimated these great clans before... "Fortunately, little fellow, you still have a chance to improve the star level of your primal origin body."

"Lie Yang, take him to the Legacy Grounds to receive the inheritance of an Ultimate level True Spirit Treasure Technique."

"Then take him to the treasury to exchange for Physical Body precious medicine."

"His primal origin body has just taken shape and the Fusion degree is very low; he can still improve the grades of his true spirit and Physical Body. Any later and it won't be possible..."
