244: The inner perimeter has arrived!

Sui Xu Ancient City.

"They've set up camp!"

"They've also sensed that the Ten Thousand Races within the Forbidden Zone are on high alert."

"Setting up camp? Good! Setting up camp is good!"

"I've already memorized their location. As soon as we descend, I'm heading there immediately."

*Pfft*... Memorized their location? How could you memorize it?"

"Not to mention the entire Forbidden Zone is vast beyond imagination, making it impossible to identify positions."

"Just the fact that we're randomly teleported upon entry means it's all down to luck whether we run into them."

"Exactly, it's all a matter of luck."

"I hope my luck is good enough to drop me right on their position. When the time comes, I'll make that Lin Yan understand the consequences of wantonly slaughtering the Martial Artists of my Yao Race."

"General Du Qi! It's General Du Qi!" several reverent voices rang out.

"Haha, if Lin Yan runs into General Du Qi, he's absolutely dead meat!"

"Of course. This is one of our race's Four-Star Great Generals! A bona-fide high grade God Rank Martial Artist. Even if that Lin Yan can achieve godhood after the Inner Perimeter opens, he's destined to perish on the spot!"

Such voices echoed one after another among the Ten Thousand Races in the Inner Perimeter of the ancient city, coming from different races and directions, yet all carrying the same thirst and provocation.

Over the course of a month, as more and more Martial Artists of the Ten Thousand Races flooded in like a tide, these voices became increasingly dense.

Many God Rank Martial Artists stared intently at the scenes in the giant mirror, cold glints flashing in their eyes like long-starved beasts that had finally found their prey.

Human Race Supreme One—Lin Yan!

We are coming!

You! Are you ready?!

Under such circumstances, time reached the one-year mark since the opening of the Outer Perimeter.

In the Human Race area, many God Rank experts who had already gathered together slowly opened their solemn eyes.

Dozens of powerful, armored figures spoke in low voices.

"If we encounter the Supreme One, what shall we do?!"

A synchronized response echoed back.

"Protect him with our lives! Escort him away immediately!"

The voices fell.

Hum—!

Accompanied by a low, soul-shaking roar, the giant mirror spanning the vast starry sky suddenly rippled with a layer of flowing light so thick it was suffocating.

This flowing light was like a surging torrent, instantly sweeping across the entire starry sky and illuminating the surrounding endless darkness.

The hearts of the Martial Artists of the Ten Thousand Races in the ancient city jolted violently.

Boom—!

A world-shaking explosion rang out.

A dazzling light that seemed capable of tearing the heavens apart suddenly erupted from the mirror's surface.

This light spread as fast as lightning, and in the blink of an eye, it enveloped all God Rank Martial Artists below the Saint Rank within the entire ancient city.

For a moment, the ancient city was filled with all sorts of laughter.

Some of this laughter was wild and unrestrained, some full of confidence and arrogance, and some revealed traces of killing intent.

"Hahaha!" A burly Demon Race expert radiating a terrifying Aura threw his head back and laughed. "Central Forbidden Zone! This King has arrived!"

"Lin Yan of the Human Race, you'd better pray you don't run into me!" a black-robed Yao Race Martial Artist said sinisterly, a cruel glint flashing in his eyes.

Regardless of the sounds they made, those individuals vanished from the ancient city in an instant, as if they had never been there... right at the moment the Sui Xu Ancient City underwent its transformation.

Within the vast and boundless Sui Xu Forbidden Domain.

Rumble—!

A world-shaking roar that seemed ready to shatter the heavens rang out.

Whether they were in a Secret Realm, inside a city, or in the middle of a fight... in short, no matter where these Martial Artists of the Ten Thousand Races were or what they were doing, they all looked up in unison toward the thunder-rolling sky, thinking to themselves.

It's coming... the Inner Perimeter is opening... the God Ranks are descending... Especially those Martial Artists from the five top races who had been scared witless by Lin Yan recently; they were now so moved they had tears in their eyes.

"It's here! It's finally here!"

They muttered to themselves, their hearts full of joy.

Never mind the high grade God Rank Four-Star Great Generals, God Rank Invincible Five-Star Generals, and God King Six-Star Generals who possessed enough power to easily suppress or even erase Lin Yan.

The arrival of even a random fourth or fifth-grade God Rank Martial Artist of their own race would surely resolve their predicament immediately.

Thinking of this, they couldn't help but heave a long sigh of relief.

The days of unspeakable suffering were finally over. From now on, they would no longer have to live in constant fear!

As the five top races, when had they ever suffered such indignity!

Meanwhile.

On a vast land where the military banners of the Human Race fluttered, hundreds of millions of soldiers also looked up one after another.

Above in the sky, the many figures who had been sitting cross-legged also stood up together.

Particularly in the center of the Flame Guards, which had expanded to a full complement of two hundred during this period.

Lin Yan slowly opened his eyes, which were as deep as pool water, and tilted his head slightly to gaze at the dark Void Realm flickering with thunder.

Boom—!

This massive sound was like a roar from the world itself, deafening and causing the entire heaven and earth to tremble violently.

In that instant, a crisp "Crack—!" was heard, as if an indestructible shackle had completely shattered at that moment.

The spiritual energy between heaven and earth began to rage like a wild horse, forming surges of spiritual energy storms that swept in all directions.

The faces of the Flame Guards and Emperor-level Martial Artists who already possessed the foundation to achieve godhood instantly turned blood-red.

Even the black-gold robes on Lin Yan's body whipped wildly in the gale, snapping loudly as if trying to break free and fly into the sky.

"Ding!"

"Suppression cancelled. Host is about to achieve godhood and reach the appropriate cultivation!"

As the System prompt faded.

The first things to hit the ears were the hearty, thunderous roars coming from beside Lin Yan.

These roars were like bolts of thunder echoing endlessly through the empty world, manifesting the uncontrollable joy and excitement in everyone's hearts.

At the same time, the dark Void Realm that was already rumbling was now drowned out by the successive sounds of frantic cultivation Breakthroughs.

The sound was like ten thousand galloping horses or crashing waves, hitting the eardrums of the hundreds of millions of soldiers and the many Emperor Rank Martial Artists wave after wave.

However, the most startling thing was the heaven-toppling pressure that erupted from within Lin Yan's body.

This pressure was like a flood bursting through a dam, unstoppable, instantly blowing Fu Ying and the others away.

Having just completed their Breakthroughs and not yet had time to experience them, they were like fallen leaves in a gale, powerless to resist, only able to watch as they were tossed into the distance.

A series of rumbling explosions rang out.

The starlight permeating and flickering within Lin Yan's body flared up, so dazzling it was almost impossible to keep one's eyes open.

Those pinpricks of light began to move, align, and combine with an unimaginable speed and order.

Sometimes they clustered into bright nebulae, and sometimes they dispersed into brilliant bands of light.

Before long, a miniature version of a resplendent galaxy gradually took shape, surrounded by numerous points of starlight.

This galaxy was like the brightest pearl in the night sky, emitting a captivating radiance.

Next, a second galaxy appeared, then a third... with every additional galaxy, the Aura he radiated became several times more powerful.

Until a total of eight galaxies had appeared in succession!

"Ding!"

"cultivation release complete."

"Congratulations, Host, on completing your fourth life transition!"

At the very moment the System's voice fell, lightning flashed and thunder rolled in the dark-as-ink Void Realm of the Forbidden Zone, as if the end of the world had arrived.

One powerful Aura after another, enough to make one's heart tremble, permeated from the void, as figures with sky-toppling Auras slowly emerged.
