Chapter 440
Chapter 440
Tuoba Ancient God’s confidence stemmed from a strongest weapon temporarily loaned to him by the Insect Race.
As an eleventh-rank being of the fifth tier, Tuoba Ancient God had comprehended the spacetime fifth stage, granting him the ability to begin refining a strongest weapon.
To bolster their presence in the supermassive battlefield, the Insect Race had decided to loan out some of their treasured strongest weapons from their vault. These loans, however, came with the condition of eventual return.
This particular strongest weapon was Tuoba Ancient God’s greatest assurance.
In the time chamber constructed by the Insect Race, Tuoba Ancient God spent thousands of years successfully beginning the refinement process for the weapon.
With the strongest weapon in hand, Tuoba Ancient God felt confident enough to deploy his true body and accept the Insect Race’s invitation. After all, he believed that as long as he wielded the strongest weapon, he was invincible—unless faced with a twelfth-rank being.
Even other eleventh-rank perfected legendary beings wielding strongest weapons could, at most, suppress or drive him away. Killing him outright was another matter entirely.
In the countless eons since the universe’s creation, there had never been a case of an eleventh-rank being wielding a strongest weapon dying at the hands of another eleventh rank.
"You’re confident?" The ancient god who had advised caution fell silent for a moment.
"A strongest weapon is indeed powerful, but your avatar in the two-dimensional world also wielded one, and it still perished."
"The two-dimensional world is not the same as the universe battlefield," Tuoba Ancient God frowned.
"In the two-dimensional world, the power of strongest weapons was suppressed. Otherwise, that human, ‘Blood Rain,’ would never have been able to kill me."
Hearing this, the advising ancient god said no more. His role was only to caution Tuoba Ancient God; whether the advice was heeded was not his concern.
Indeed, strongest weapons offered unparalleled protection, but there were no absolutes. Entering the supermassive battlefield in his true body was undeniably risky.
Watching the advising ancient god depart, Tuoba Ancient God refocused on the strongest weapon within him.
"As long as I assist the Insect Race in gaining an advantage in the supermassive battlefield, I will obtain the treasure I seek. With it, I can not only repair the root damage to my mental will but also take a step further, reaching the perfection of the eleventh rank."
A hint of longing emerged in Tuoba Ancient God’s heart.
Not every eleventh-rank being could achieve perfection. While the fifth tier could technically attempt the ultimate breakthrough, the chances of success were slim. Reaching perfection first was undoubtedly the safer route.
This opportunity was unique. Without the opening of the supermassive battlefield, the Insect Race would never have released the treasure. Tuoba Ancient God understood that this might be a once-in-a-lifetime chance.
It was this realization that prompted him to risk deploying his true body and accepting the Insect Race’s offer.
"Even without my help, the Insect Race has a good chance of securing an advantage on the battlefield," Tuoba Ancient God thought. As one of the universe’s peak races, the Insect Race’s foundation was unmatched. In the two-dimensional world, their ability to nurture insect warriors had been severely suppressed, reducing their presence. ȒαNÓ₿Èṧ
But on the universe battlefield? That was the Insect Race’s domain, where they could freely produce powerful insect warriors—even preparing countless legions in advance to bring into the fray.
Tuoba Ancient God even believed he could play a minimal role in the battlefield and still acquire the treasure he coveted.
"If I encounter that human ‘Blood Rain’ again, I’ll withdraw immediately," Tuoba Ancient God resolved. He had no interest in revenge.
To him, ‘Blood Rain’ was most likely a perfected eleventh-rank evolver from human civilization. In the supermassive battlefield, ‘Blood Rain’ would undoubtedly wield a strongest weapon. Although Tuoba Ancient God could ensure his survival, there was no point in clashing.
"I’ve also heard that the Milky Way Star Lord has entered the eleventh rank," Tuoba Ancient God’s thoughts shifted. The current situation could largely be attributed to the Milky Way Star Lord.
"That’s the Milky Way Star Lord."
"The Milky Way Star Lord is here too."
Lin Yuan’s arrival immediately drew attention from the gathered eleventh-rank evolvers, many of whom had seen him at the recent gathering.
"Milky Way Star Lord," Vice Tower Master Nalan approached, greeting Lin Yuan warmly.
"Do you recognize many of these evolvers?" Nalan asked, pulling Lin Yuan aside.
"Not really," Lin Yuan admitted. As eleventh-rank evolvers, most were prominent figures within human civilization and had hosted their own celebrations upon advancing.
"These evolvers were secretly cultivated by the strongest ones," Nalan explained, having recently learned this himself.
"I see," Lin Yuan nodded, scanning the crowd. He could faintly sense the presence of strongest weapons within some of them.
In human civilization, any fifth-tier eleventh-rank evolver was typically equipped with a strongest weapon. These, too, were loans that had to be returned after leaving the supermassive battlefield.
Xia Qin had once offered Lin Yuan a strongest weapon, but he declined. He already possessed several and felt that providing another to a deserving evolver would be more beneficial.
As time passed, more evolvers approached to greet Lin Yuan. Being part of the Xiayou Evolution Tower naturally fostered camaraderie.
A month later...
With a hum, an imposing figure appeared, emanating the overwhelming pressure of a strongest one.
"A strongest one."
All the gathered eleventh-rank evolvers stood and turned to Xia Qin.
"The time has come," Xia Qin announced, his gaze sweeping over the group.
"I need not emphasize the importance of the supermassive battlefield."
He paused briefly before continuing, "Now, I will make the assignments."
Xia Qin’s tone was calm but commanding.
"All evolvers of the Xiayou Evolution Tower will follow the command of one individual on the battlefield."
This directive was essential for maximizing effectiveness in interstellar wars, even for eleventh-rank beings.
"The Milky Way Star Lord."
Xia Qin’s words were steady as his gaze fell on Lin Yuan, seated in the corner.
The room fell silent. The gathered eleventh-rank evolvers looked in astonishment at the newly advanced Milky Way Star Lord.
