Chapter 1279: Heaven Rank and Demiplane

Lin Yun no longer cared about the Rodney Family’s matters, neither did he go look for a place to heal. Instead, he sent a message to Faleau before going to Agalon’s mountain.

He would have died if Agalon hadn’t made a move. Powerhouses above the 5th Rank of the Heaven realm were too frightening, he simply couldn’t resist.

His injuries weren’t too bad, but his strength would be reduced for a couple days.

He arrived at that ordinary mountain once again. The s.p.a.ce was the same as before, the kilometer from the bottom of the mountain to the top was still stretching infinitely.

Lin Yun summoned the projection of his Demiplane, which started automatically resisting the changes in the surrounding laws. The projected laws covered a few meters around Lin Yun and forcibly restored the laws to their original state. A few minutes later, Lin Yun effortlessly reached the top of the mountain.

Agalon was sitting on a deck chair, gazing at the sky. There was no cloud above him, in fact, the sky wasn’t even blue, it looked like a starry night sky.

Lin Yun wasn’t surprised by this strange scene. With a slight alteration of the s.p.a.ce, the summit’s s.p.a.ce and the sky’s s.p.a.ce were folded together to completely reduce the atmosphere’s interference against starlight, it was as if they were looking at the starry sky from the void.

Lin Yun quickly walked the few meters separating him from Agalon before respectfully bowing.

“Thank you for your help, Sir Agalon.”

These were his genuine feelings. Agalon was a lot more different from what had been recorded in history books, he was a lot more worthy of respect than what the book made him seem.

He spent years researching the truth about Noscent’s future destruction. He wouldn’t have died so early on if not for the huge amount of time and energy spent in that endeavor. Surpa.s.sing the Heaven Rank and igniting G.o.dfire was an inevitable matter. Maybe the disaster that befell Agalon and the Starry Sky College was linked to the things Agalon was researching.

‘He unhesitantly backed me up because he had the feeling that I might know some things about the future. He even wants to entrust the Starry Sky College to me, helped me grow stronger and helped me with comprehending the laws. He gave me tips on the development and comprehension of a Natural Demiplane, everything he does is for the sake of preventing that future disaster…

‘This time, he didn’t even hesitate to make a move. He is definitely worthy of respect…’

Lin Yun had a heavy heart. There were many things he couldn’t say, because speaking about these matters might change the future and he simply didn’t know if these changes would be for better or for worse.

Agalon only sensed that he was destined to fall in a disaster ten years later, that it was his fate. But Lin Yun knew that Agalon would set foot on the starry sky battlefield’s path after that disaster occurred, only to never return.

Lin Yun could see from Agalon’s peaceful appearance that the latter didn’t feel that his future death was unacceptable, in fact, he wasn’t trying to prevent it.

Lin Yun inwardly sighed and remained silent about these matters, he didn’t try to warn Agalon not to step on the starry sky battlefield. This would be useless and might even backfire and convince him that the most important clues were in the starry sky battlefield. After the disaster occurred, he would inevitably rush there without looking back.

‘It’s a matter of strength. I’ll be able to change this tragic conclusion as long as I’m powerful enough, we will see then…’

After hesitating for a bit, Lin Yun made up his mind. He would do his best to increase his strength and develop his Natural Demiplane. He would prevent Agalon’s fall ten years later, and he might even be able to prevent that disaster.

Agalon saw Lin Yun’s complicated expression and softly sighed. He couldn’t know what Lin Yun was actually worried about, in fact, he thought that Lin Yun had suffered a blow after experiencing the power of a 6th Rank Heaven Mage.

“Mafa, now you should know the difference in power between you and a Heaven Mage that surpa.s.ses the 5th Rank?”

Lin Yun nodded with a casual expression, “It’s a difference in quality, it’s not something that could be emulated with mana or spells.”

Agalon nodded, “There are records of the battles between deities of the distant Mythological Era, the most important one is the battle between the Sea G.o.d and the Volcanic G.o.d.

“The Sea G.o.d’s mana was boundless, his mana pool was as big as the Endless Sea. When it came to mana, no other G.o.d could compare. Even the ruler of the G.o.ds, the G.o.dking, couldn’t compare in that regard.

“As for the Volcanic G.o.d, his territory had been located in the volcanic region in the southern part of the continent, bordering the Sea G.o.d’s territory. They were constantly at odds and never stopped fighting. A war between the Sea G.o.d and the Volcanic G.o.d ended up happening during the era of wars, but the outcome was unexpected.

“The Volcanic G.o.d was one of the lesser deities ranked below the 60th rank while the Sea G.o.d was ranked above 20th rank.

“Moreover, the Volcanic G.o.d’s territory was a few dozen times smaller than the Sea G.o.d’s.

“But their first actual war ended with the Sea G.o.d’s heart beating for the last time. The Volcanic G.o.d’s power pierced through the terrifying plane-destroying magic power and ended the Sea G.o.d’s life.”

Lin Yun was faintly startled and recalled reading something like this in the records of the G.o.ds, but it was just a story which no one paid attention to. Could there be something hidden in the story?

“This was a battle which changed the path of Noscent’s development. From that point on, all of Noscent’s lifeforms stopped focusing on pure magic power and started focusing on the gap in quality.

“The era of huge bodies and tsunami-like attacks ended. That concept became common sense since the start of the Nesser Dynasty and no one questioned it.

“And the origin of this change was the fall of a powerful G.o.d. In our current era, the gap between each rank is a qualitative gap. In a battle between an Expert Swordsman and a Sword Saint, the Sword Saint would only need to use a tenth of their power to easily slice their opponent.

“This is the essence of rank suppression. It is the same for the Heaven Rank. The first three ranks of the Heaven Realm are just a foundation for law comprehension and usage of law power. The Extraordinary Power they can release is several dozen times stronger than what an Archmage can release. This is a qualitative pressure and has nothing to do with quant.i.ty.

“At the 4th Rank, one would start making use of their Demiplane. Demiplanes would stabilize upon the weight of the laws, they would become even more perfect and start influencing the surroundings.”

Lin Yun suddenly understood. His Demiplane could help him resist the transformed spatial law on the way to the summit by altering laws themselves. By projecting the laws, he was able to remain unaffected.

“At the 5th Rank, Heaven Mages can start using the power of their Demiplanes. It’s also when the strength of Heaven Rank powerhouses quickly rise. The power of a Demiplane far exceeds the power of a mage.

“We possess Natural Demiplanes, and thus, we are bound to be far stronger than other mages. This is because the laws of Natural Demiplanes aren’t limited to the laws a mage comprehended, nor to the extent of their comprehension.

“The laws of Natural Demiplanes evolve alongside the Natural Demiplanes. This is a fact, the law power of Natural Demiplanes are more comprehensive and powerful, whether it is in regard to quality or quant.i.ty, they far exceed Heaven Mages’ Demiplanes.

“This is what you should focus on, you’ll easily be hundred times more powerful than a mage of the same rank by using your Natural Demiplane. By comprehending all kinds of laws, you’ll be even more powerful when battling.

“Right now, you can only use the Natural Demiplane for defensive purposes. If you could make perfect use of a developed Natural Demiplane, you wouldn’t have been injured when facing the ancestor of the Rodney Family.

“But the fact that you survived as a 3rd Rank Heaven Mage is already pretty good.

“I’ll now train you in the use of Natural Demiplanes.”

Agalon spent an entire day imparting knowledge to Lin Yun. That knowledge was Agalon’s own experiences, every step of his stumbling path, his successes, his mistakes, his reflections. This allowed him to find a correct path.

As for Lin Yun, he didn’t have a great understanding of these matters. He knew what an ordinary Heaven Rank powerhouse needed to pay attention to, but he had been fumbling his way forward when it came to what was best for someone with a Natural Demiplane.

This was due to the fact that the powerhouses who obtained a Natural Demiplane could be counted on one’s hands. Not only were they all different, there was no clear records regarding Natural Demiplanes. After all, one had to have a Natural Demiplane to study Natural Demiplanes.

Lin Yun benefited a lot from that day. He had a very intuitive understanding of his Natural Demiplane and now had a direction to work on. Moreover, his decision to focus on developing his Natural Demiplane had actually been a very sensible choice. He had focused on the growth of his Natural Demiplane all along and it was even more perfect than Agalon’s had been at the same rank, it was also far more developed.

The next day, Lin Yun’s injuries recovered thanks to his healing potions and he was close to making a full recovery.

At that time, Agalon suddenly said, “I’ll take you to a place.”

He didn’t wait for Lin Yun’s answer and gently reached out in front of him. A faint ripple appeared and a stable Planar Path was formed.

The fluctuations coming from the Planar Path were very weak. Even if Lin Yun stood next to it, he couldn’t sense any powerful spatial fluctuations. It was even more stable than a Planar Path opened by a large-scale array.

Lin Yun was about to say something, but ended up remaining silent and followed Agalon into the Planar Path.

They walked through the Planar Path before quickly reaching its exit. They appeared in a desolate world with no sky above their heads, as if the void was directly exposed. From time to time, meteorites could be seen falling down from the sky.

The smell of various poisons and rust could be sensed within the rarefied air.

Understanding flashed in Lin Yun’s eyes, it was the Puppet Plane!

Agalon cast a five-meter-big protective spell, which also protected Lin Yun. After pausing in the air, Agalon immediately chose a direction and the both of them turned into a ray of light flas.h.i.+ng in the distance, their auras and figures hidden from sight.

After a few minutes, the gorgeous multi-colored lights covering their surroundings dissipated and they reappeared in the sky, not far from a steel city.

That steel city was many times bigger than the last one Lin Yun had seen. There were three kilometer-tall four-sided towers in the center of the steel city. The energy moving between the three towers was clearly visible and formed a several-dozen-meter-big energy sphere.

These three towers covered at least a hundred kilometers. If there was any sign of a falling meteorite, the devices within the three towers would calculate the trajectory of the meteorite before sending the energy sphere to intercept it.

Agalon looked at the steel city in the distance and gently pointed a finger, sending a rune flying into the steel city’s wall. Soon, a huge bat-like puppet with dozen-meter-long wings flew out of the steel city.

The puppet appeared to be infuriated as it flew over, seemingly shouting in anger. The shout created ripples which spread towards the surroundings and swept away the dust present in the air turning it into invisible splinters.

At that time, Lin Yun felt an irresistible gentle force pus.h.i.+ng him out of Agalon’s protective spell.

“Mafa, this is a Level 45 Puppet, its talent rune is Infrasound, it can use limited law power, and it doesn’t possess a Demiplane. This should make a good opponent for you, get rid of that guy.”

Lin Yun’s face turned green. A Level 45 Puppet could compare to a 5th Rank Heaven Mage. Even if its talent rune wasn’t outstanding, and it wasn’t as good as a 5th Rank Heaven Mage in battle, it wasn’t a huge difference.

Lin Yun clearly understood that he could get killed while fighting that puppet. Each rank was an exponential increase in power. It wasn’t that bad for the first three ranks since it was only a matter of increasing a mage’s strength and utilizing the laws. The 5th Rank was when mages started controlling the laws and their fighting strength doubled.

Lin Yun didn’t have time to think about this. That puppet immediately discovered him when he appeared in the air. He didn’t know what Agalon did, but that puppet acted like a beast whose den had been destroyed and pack killed. Only rage could be seen in its pair of crystal eyes.

The Book of Death appeared in his left hand while the Draconic Staff appeared in his right hand. The Book of Mantras and the Spell Wheel appeared at his sides while the Purple Dragon Incarnation transformed into a hundred-meter-tall purple dragon shadow holding a huge wheel shadow containing countless roaming law runes.

The shadow of a bronze scale appeared under his feet, holding the Spell Wheel and the Book of Mantras on both plates. In an instant, a several-dozen-meter-big Windfire gate and a huge wheel shadow of the same dimensions appeared at his sides.

Windfire’s fierce power and the Spell Wheel’s elemental storm converged into a terrifying flood of destruction which charged towards the bat-like puppet.

Lin Yun raised his Draconic Staff and a large amount of runes surged out of the wheel shadow behind him. Following Lin Yun’s rapid cast, a Law Runic Bomb condensed and flew towards the bat-like puppet.

The large bat puppet flapped its wings in response, the talent rune underneath its throat suddenly brightened as a silent shout came out of the bat’s mouth. That was a sound humans couldn’t hear, Lin Yun couldn’t hear the sound produced by the rune even as a Heaven Mage powerhouse.

Ripples came out of the mouth of the large bat puppet and swiftly expanded outward. These ripples went through the Windfire gate and the elemental storm without suffering any obstruction. Small vibrations appeared before the pure Windfire power shattered into wind power and fire power, before being broken down into minute elemental power.

The elemental storm filled with pure destruction also faced the same conclusion, it instantly collapsed after being hit by the infrasound and was dismantled into basic spells of the four elements..

Even the original impact power disappeared upon contact with the infrasound. After travelling half the distance, the attacks of the Spell Wheel and Book of Mantras were only able to raise the density of elemental power in the surroundings, they had no other effects.

The Law Runic Bomb he cast only flew 300 meters before exploding in the air. Its destructive power expanded over several dozen meters, before it collapsed into the most basic elemental forces.

Lin Yun’s heart missed a beat when he saw this scene. He used everything he had, yet the other side only had to roar to dismantle his power into the most basic elements, how could this be?

After one attack, the bat puppet flapped its wings and instantly disappeared, leaving an after-image at its original position over a kilometer away. It took less than a second for it to arrive before Lin Yun and swipe at his Fusion s.h.i.+eld with three ice-cold claws.
