With a loud shout from Lin You, hundreds of phantom clones almost simultaneously erupted with the power of rules.

Amidst a fierce tremor, countless twisted plants shot up from the ground.

They forcibly transformed the entire periphery of the Magma Zone into a bizarre forest.

Inside, vines entangled and thorns densely spread, instantly killing tens of thousands of species, completely blocking the retreat of the five people from the Primordial Evil Realm.

The people from the Primordial Evil Realm were shocked to their core.

They simply couldn’t comprehend why Lin You possessed such terrifying abilities.

They dared not hold back any longer and unleashed all their trump cards.

Especially the leader, who possessed nine Divine Fragments, seeing the raging, frenzied vines assault once again, gritted his teeth, and immediately took out a Golden Scroll, tearing it open.

"Boom!"

Vast golden light descended from the sky, transforming into a warrior’s phantom that fiercely landed upon the man.

This was a powerful scroll he had treasured for decades, granting him the ability to temporarily become as if possessed by the War God of the Dwarf Race.

However, the effect was somewhat weaker, only forcibly raising his power by half a level and granting immunity to all negative states.

He originally intended to use it for survival when ascending to Tier Eleven while being pursued, but unexpectedly, he was compelled to use it in this place.

Despite feeling unwilling in his heart, he still erupted with all the power of rules within his body.

With a lift of his arm, sword lights filled the sky, converging with the offensive of the other four, colliding fiercely with Lin You’s phantom clones’ vast attacks, exploding in mid-air, causing the entire space to cave in instantly.

The terrifying might transformed into boundless waves sweeping around, shaking the ground into cracks, magma surged, and giant pillars of fire shot into the sky.

It was like a world apocalypse.

Even Lin You’s Void Space was shattered, losing its sealing effect.

At the center of the explosion, the five from the Primordial Evil Realm were sent flying, bleeding heavily.

The leader and the Demon Lord with him triggered the life-preserving effects on their equipment, one instantly restored to peak state, while the other gained a blood shield, stubbornly resisting this nearly Tier Eleven-level terrifying force.

The other three weren’t so fortunate.

Their life-preserving methods were directly crushed by the formidable attack, as numerous thorns and vines burst forth, wrapping from all directions onto their bloodied bodies.

"Go!"

The two exchanged a glance, unable to care for them.

Seizing the moment the Void Space broke, they slashed open the space and vanished into the void.

"Puff!"

The sound of flesh being pierced echoed.

The three, deprived of any ability to resist, were suddenly exploded internally by numerous Wooden Thorns, transforming into clusters of blood mist in the air, without even having time to scream.

[Killed Tier Ten Lords from an Alternate Plane, gained 6.7 billion Magic Energy.]

[Killed Tier Ten Lords from an Alternate Plane, gained 11.5 billion Magic Energy.]

[Killed Tier Ten Lords from an Alternate Plane, gained 8 billion Magic Energy.]

Three cold voices sounded in Lin You’s mind, as three Tier Ten Lords possessing eight Divine Fragments were directly slain!

Lin You panted heavily, looking at the three clusters of blood mist and the place where the two had fled, his chest heaving violently.

Just now, in order to keep those guys on the opposite side from leaving, he had almost used all the power of rules within him without reservation.

As expected, their life-preserving methods were so strong that they could withstand the joint strike of him and his over a hundred phantom clones.

Indeed, just like old kings with years of experience.

However, the result left him very pleasantly surprised, even excited.

Because according to his expectations, the opponents were strong, certainly having numerous escape methods, and managing to unexpectedly kill one or two would have been very good.

Yet unexpectedly, they ended up killing three.

This was thanks to the unique environment here, allowing his Phantom Walker skill’s effect to be maximized.

Looking at the three Seven-Colored Divine Fragments slowly emerging from the blood mist, he hesitated not a bit, instantly teleporting into the air, trembling as he collected all the fragments.

After all these battles and efforts, he finally gathered all the necessary conditions for upgrading to Tier Eleven, the excitement palpable.

Now, if he wished, he could ascend to Tier Eleven at any time.

Being just one step away from the highest point on the continent, Emperor Level!

Of course.

He was not foolish enough to upgrade immediately.

Especially after realizing the harshness of Tier Eleven from the previous elderly king’s experience, he deeply understood the brutality of Tier Eleven.

So, before that, he had to accumulate more Rule Fragments.

Otherwise, recklessly ascending without sufficient strength would only make him fodder for other Tier Eleven upgrades.

"First refresh the camp here and be ready to clear out the demons."

Safely securing the Divine Fragments, Lin You immediately teleported back into the team, starting to recover promptly.

Recently, the commotion here was huge, unsure if it would attract more people over, so it’s better to quickly clear out the demons and obtain the Flame Pearl, then leave.

...

Elsewhere.

In a wasteland thousands of kilometers away.

The two from the Primordial Evil Realm, who fled via teleportation, traversed through space, appearing here.

Finally, confirming Lin You wasn’t pursuing, they stopped, collapsing onto the ground behind a huge rock, leaning against it and panting heavily.

"Miscalculated, didn’t expect his power to be this strong," the man said with lingering fear.

"Old Wu and the other two are probably in grave danger," the Demon Lord’s eyes were filled with terror.

"Rumor says that guy has ten very formidable species under his command, but now it seems his power is actually the most terrifying; we’ve underestimated him!"

"What should we do then? Should we report this matter up the ranks?"

"Of course, we must. Killing three Tier Ten of ours, there’s no way we can let this go easily, especially since he’s from the Primordial Realm; we cannot let him continue to grow!"

Now, Lin You’s name is soaring high among the Tier Ten in various realms; many people already know his identity.

Not to mention, his arch-nemesis from the Primordial Evil Realm.

They’ve long investigated Lin You thoroughly, even not missing the precise location of his duchy.

"That guy’s power is beyond what we can handle anymore. After we return, let’s report this up; surely, those Tier Eleven will be very interested," the man’s eyes began to gleam with strange light.

"Indeed," the Demon Lord nodded in agreement, "Gaining three rule fragments at once, with that guy’s ability, he surely won’t be content with Tier Ten; once he dares to ascend to Tier Eleven, that’s when he’ll meet his end!"

"Right, let him jump around for a while longer."

Saying that, the two stood up again, heading towards the space entrance, vanishing in the vast void in an instant.

And at that moment.

In the magma zone, Lin You had already, relying on the Phantom Walker skill, along with the Plant Army, purged all demons in the lava area, grandly reaching the edge of the lava pool.

"Cyan Rattan, it’s up to you."

Lin You said to Cyan Rattan beside him.

The Flame Pearl was located at the center of the lava pool. With his current spiritual strength, he couldn’t manipulate objects from such a distance.

Hence, he could only rely on Cyan Rattan, whose constitution had "long arms," to handle it.

Upon hearing this, Cyan Rattan hesitated not, a vine instantly shot out, gliding above the surging lava surface, and wrapped the Flame Pearl over.

The next second.

With a bang, the entire lava pool began to surge frantically.

Even the surrounding ground cracked open with gigantic fissures, spewing out lava and flames, turning the whole magma zone into a sea of fire in an instant.

Following that.

A red heatwave surged into the sky, straight into the clouds.

In no time, the red clouds formed a splendid spectacle within the demon space, echoing with the black light beam on the other side of the basin.

Two of the Ten Great Primordial Forces were now unleashed, causing the lords inside the space to stir again.

"Quick! Just over there, hurry and check it out!"

"I already sensed that power!"

"We must seize the treasure this time!"

Cries rang out, accompanied by increasingly powerful auras, rapidly approaching from afar.

Lin You, momentarily stunned by the scene before him, quickly snapped back to reality.

"Let’s go, leave here first and then talk."

With that, he summoned all species back, vanished on the spot with instant teleportation.

After several evasions, finally shook off the inquiries of those lords, reaching high altitude a thousand miles away.

Only then did he take out the Flame Pearl he just acquired to examine its information.

[Demon Core (Special): A core condensed by Demon Power, one of the Ten Great Primordial Forces; destroy all forces to locate the position of the Space Core.]

Another of the Ten Great Primordial Forces.

The previous Sword of the Dead was the undead type’s Death Force.

This Flame Pearl was the demon type’s Demon Core.

Seems like these Ten Great Primordial Forces, supposedly represent the original powers of ten species races respectively, were the most primordial forces at the birth of the Realm.

Wonder if the plant type’s original force would have any extra effect on him?

Lin You pondered silently.

Unexpectedly.

His Origin Universe’s World Tree suddenly reacted at this moment.

Before the Demon Core in his hand dissipated and transformed into rule fragments, an immense suction came, directly absorbing the Demon Core into the Origin Universe, turning it into a stream of light merging into the World Tree.

???

Lin You was momentarily dumbfounded.

Couldn’t recover from this sudden change for a while.

"Damn!"

Finally, he snapped out of it, explicitly uttering a curse.

Hurriedly calmed his mind entering the Origin Universe, but the Demon Core had long vanished without a trace, causing him immediate uncertainty and speculation.

He recalled the first time such a situation occurred was when he mistakenly placed the plant type’s complete divine format into the Origin Universe, swallowing even the Chaos Treasure altogether.

Could it be.

The value of these original forces is comparable to complete divine format and Chaos Treasure!?

In shock, Lin You immediately checked for changes in the Origin Universe carefully, ultimately discovering something astounding.

The Time Law Skill had strengthened again!

[Time Law (Active): Creates a Time Domain within a 1.2 meter perimeter, freely altering the time flow speed; each second consumes 10% of the Power of Rule, unaffected by skills outside the Time Law, effect enhances as the Origin Space elevates, time multiplier: 1.2 times]
