Chapter 365: The Demigod's Fall

Chapter 365: The Demigod's Fall

It should be noted that the three Demigods had only just advanced to their new level.

As 40th-level Demigods, their combat Star Arts had yet to reach the fourth-tier limit. Therefore, the Origin Energy Bodies formed by the Source Energy Array was stronger than their own power.

Otherwise, even a Demigod like Sang Qiu, wielding the Divine Bow, would not be able to unleash the power of a 43rd-level expert.

The key was the Source Energy Array.

However, the Origin Energy Body had a fatal weakness compared to their true bodies; its defense was not strong enough.

Even so, the power of Li Yuan's Gun Technique chilled the three Demigods to the bone.

"Retreat!" Sang Qiu's urgent telepathic message echoed, "His attacks are at least 44th-level, maybe even 45th-level!"

From 42nd to 44th level, they were all mid-level Demigods, but the difference in strength was evident.

"You can't kill Li Yuan."

"We can retreat, but we must take the Divine Artifact with us. It's our foundation." Su Ha'er's true body manipulated the Sacred Artifact Chain.

"Whoosh!"

As his Origin Energy Body dissipated, the silver Divine Chain, like a streak of silver light, continued to dart through the air, attempting to escape the Celestial River's range.

"Take it." Li Yuan extended a hand, instantly summoning the formidable power of the Heavens and Earth, forming a terrifying giant palm that directly grasped one end of the silver Divine Chain in midair.

"Roar~"

"Roar~"

Two Golden Dragons roared, almost simultaneously striking the silver chain, completely shattering the last trace of Demigod Source Energy within it... The Divine Artifact lost its ability to resist.

"Take it."

Li Yuan pulled hard, and a light flashed behind him as he retrieved the Sacred Artifact Chain.

He stored it in the Cavern Treasure 'Divine Palace'. When Li Yuan had time, he could slowly break the mental imprint within and refine it.

"You suppressed him so quickly?" Pu Yang's Origin Energy Body was shocked, sprinting to escape.

He had already fled some distance and was about to leave the Celestial River's range.

"Kill." After suppressing the Divine Artifact, Li Yuan charged towards Pu Yang's Origin Energy Body.

Nine shadow clones intertwined, like nine ghostly apparitions, flashing towards him in a lightning-fast assault.

Within Li Yuan's domain, his strength and speed were enhanced from all directions, while the enemy was completely suppressed.

In an instant, Li Yuan caught up.

"His Gun Technique has advanced, but killing me won't be easy." Pu Yang still had confidence.

In their previous close combat, Pu Yang had held an absolute advantage, but Li Yuan's agile Gun Technique and strong defense had caused his Saber Technique to fail repeatedly.

This time, Pu Yang's Origin Energy Body swung his Saber again, attempting to block Li Yuan.

"Whoosh~"

Li Yuan's Gun Technique completely transformed, with nine Li Yuan clones intertwining their gun rays to form a web, leaving Pu Yang's Origin Energy Body flustered.

Each of Li Yuan's shadow clones possessed three-tenths of his true body's combat power, but they lacked the boost of a Divine Artifact.

The key was still the power of the Gun Technique, which was ferocious and violent.

It was fundamentally different from his previous Gun Technique.

The first and second forms of 'Domain Cloud Spear' underwent a qualitative change in power.

"Boom~ Boom~ Boom~" After more than ten lightning-fast exchanges, Pu Yang's Origin Energy Body retreated step by step, and his Saber was hurled away.

"Annihilate." Li Yuan's killing intent soared, and nine gun rays, each with a Golden Dragon, formed a surging, overwhelming river that covered the sky and earth, striking Pu Yang's Origin Energy Body.

In an instant, it was blasted into dust.

"What?"

"So powerful?" Su Ha'er and Sang Qiu were both shocked. Li Yuan's burst of strength was terrifying.

Even with a breakthrough in cultivation, he shouldn't be this strong.

But they didn't know that Li Yuan had initially hidden some of his strength when he first fought them, only displaying the Universal Divine Body and Celestial River Star Techniques.

Even then, they deemed him no weaker than Fang Hai in his prime.

If Li Yuan had used 'Nine Shadow Clone' back then, his strength would have been even more terrifying, and he could have easily withstood their siege.

After a sudden enlightenment, the True Intention of Earth transformed into Law.

Li Yuan not only directly comprehended the second form of 'Domain Cloud Spear', but the Celestial River Domain and the Divine Artifact Nine Dragon Holomail also surged in power... giving Li Yuan absolute confidence in defeating them.

Naturally, he unleashed his full power!

"Suppress!" Li Yuan manipulated his domain, instantly suppressing the thrown Saber, and took it into his Cavern Treasure.

"Die."

Li Yuan sheathed his saber, his speed undiminished, and directly charged towards the edge of the Source Energy Array, where he sensed the true body of a Demigod—Pu Yang.

Among the three Foreign Demigods, Pu Yang was the strongest, and Li Yuan naturally wanted to kill him the most.

"We can't hold him back!"

"His strength is probably not inferior to a 45th level, reaching the pinnacle of a Demigod." Su Ha'er urgently communicated through sound transmission, "Run!"

Perhaps Li Yuan's offensive capabilities were not yet on par with a 45th-level expert, but his domain and shadow clone techniques made his intimidation no less than that of a peak Demigod.

"Run!" Sang Qiu, the Demigod, had a sudden thought and put away her divine bow. Her Origin Energy body directly dissipated.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! The three Foreign Demigods fled in a panic, choosing to escape through three of the array's foundation points.

"Seal!" Pu Yang, the Demigod, moved his thoughts, and the Origin Energy array that originally covered dozens of kilometers surged with dark clouds, attempting to block Li Yuan's advance.

In their desperation to survive, the three Demigods didn't even bother to retract their Source Energy Array, leaving behind three divine artifacts and seventy-two demi-sacred artifacts at the original location.

As long as the array delayed Li Yuan for a moment, they could each escape over a hundred kilometers and then conceal their presence, hoping to save their lives.

"A Source Energy Array without a master, do you think you can stop me?"

"You three, how naive. Sensing the three Demigods' auras, Li Yuan carried his domain and charged towards the edge of the array. With a furious shout, he commanded, "Open for me!"

The spear's radiance blossomed, and the Nine Dragons converged, simultaneously assaulting the array in one direction.

Boom!

The incredibly resilient Source Energy Array was instantly torn apart by Li Yuan, causing the heavens and earth to change color. Li Yuan, with his awe-inspiring aura, directly charged towards Pu Yang, the Demigod, who had not yet escaped far.

"What?" Pu Yang's pupils constricted slightly. He desperately wanted to survive, but his foundation was inferior to Li Yuan's, and his cultivation level was also lower. He hadn't even mastered any teleportation techniques... How could he possibly escape Li Yuan?

With a swift movement, Li Yuan had already accelerated to ten kilometers per second.

In terms of flight speed alone, Li Yuan was already approaching the level of many peak Demigods, far surpassing Pu Yang.

Within just seven or eight seconds, Li Yuan had caught up.

"Li Yuan, spare my life, I surrender," Pu Yang communicated, while also taking out a demi-sacred artifact saber, attempting a final resistance.

"Die." Li Yuan's eyes blazed with determination, and an invisible soul vibration, like a flood, violently assaulted Pu Yang.

Boom!

A terrifying collision of souls.

Soul Secret Technique, Mind Soul!

When facing the Origin Energy bodies, due to the distance, Li Yuan couldn't use his soul secret technique. But now, being close enough, he could.

Pu Yang and the other two were newly advanced Demigods. After their bodies underwent transformation, they relied on treasures bestowed by the Eastern Demon Deity to rapidly enhance their souls. However, their willpower had not yet broken through.

In short, their soul defense was almost at the bottom among Demigods.

Li Yuan's soul attack, however, could be considered top-notch among Demigods. Under the overwhelming pressure, Pu Yang's mind wavered, and his eyes became dazed.

"Wake up."

Pu Yang, the Demigod, struggled with all his might, and his eyes instantly regained clarity.

He was just about to use his saber technique to resist.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"

Li Yuan's nine shadow clones attacked, like divine dragons tearing through the sky, causing the void to tremble. Their might was terrifying, directly suppressing Pu Yang's final resistance. He was thrown into the air.

Blood splattered.

The demi-sacred artifact saber he had just drawn was blasted away again.

"Does he have a protective body?" Li Yuan sensed the other's strong vitality, which could withstand his attack.

"Boom, boom!" Two more rounds of violent attacks followed, and Pu Yang's body was completely annihilated without any resistance.

Pu Yang, the Demigod, died!

Without the support of the Source Energy Array, the three Foreign Demigods were merely newly advanced Demigods... Even Pu Yang, who had crossed the threshold of the law, had a combat power equivalent to a 41st level, which was not enough to contend with Li Yuan.

Whoosh! Li Yuan waved his hand, collecting the treasures left by Pu Yang, and then transformed into a stream of light, rushing towards Su Ha'er, the Demigod, who had escaped nearly a hundred kilometers away.

At the same time.

"Little Ice! There's a Foreign Demigod who has fled in your direction. Her current coordinates are... Her flight speed is... Her flight direction is..." Li Yuan transmitted his soul's message to Liu Bing.

The three Demigods were solely focused on escaping, each running in different directions. Even with Li Yuan's strength, he couldn't stop them all.

However.

Liu Bing was on her way, and with the precise location and speed, there was still a chance to intercept her.

Whoosh! Li Yuan's flight speed far surpassed Su Ha'er's.

Even though Su Ha'er had burrowed into the earth, the Heavenly Earth Power he stirred up in his frantic escape wouldn't dissipate in a short time, making it impossible to evade Li Yuan.

Boom, boom! After chasing each other underground for over three hundred kilometers, Li Yuan finally caught up with Su Ha'er.

"He's caught up?" Su Ha'er's heart was filled with despair. "This Li Yuan, he's only at the Flying Sky Realm, but his strength is so terrifying. Even Puyang fell to him, and I'm even weaker... There's no hope at all."

"I shouldn't have come here."

"Kill Li Yuan? Li Yuan is clearly bait, luring us into a trap." Su Ha'er sighed inwardly.

But he also understood that even knowing it was a trap, they had to take the bait.

After all, losing three Archons would be a minor setback for the Demon Realm Civilization, but killing Li Yuan would be a significant gain.

Boom!

A raging torrent of earthy yellow energy, like a river, instantly engulfed Su Ha'er.

Nine Golden Dragons roared and rushed towards Su Ha'er, each with terrifying power, their strength almost matching Su Ha'er's... In other words, Li Yuan could directly kill Su Ha'er solely through his domain techniques.

"Just at the Flying Sky Realm, and his strength is so terrifying." Su Ha'er sighed inwardly, no longer struggling, as he looked at Li Yuan approaching through the layers of flowing light, "Li Yuan's future might be even more terrifying than Dongfang Ji. He's so young... Becoming a deity in the future will be a piece of cake for him."

"That stupid Eastern Demon."

"I'm going to die, but I pity my family and clan back home." Su Ha'er's eyes dimmed.

Being forced to come to the Seven Stars Civilization, and always following orders, was largely due to his close friends and family back home being held hostage.

In his original plan, he was confident he could cultivate to the peak of the Archon realm in the Seven Stars Plane, and even if he couldn't become a deity, he could still leave the Seven Stars Plane and enter the void between planes.

That way, he would have a chance to return home.

Unfortunately, all his plans had come to naught.

"Hmm?"

"He's not attacking me?" Su Ha'er suddenly felt the surrounding surging energy currents, which only bound him. The Golden Dragons encircled him but didn't launch an attack.

Li Yuan stood in the Celestial River, his aura majestic.

"I'll give you a chance to live." Li Yuan looked down at Su Ha'er.

"Live?" Su Ha'er was startled, then coldly said, "Li Yuan, don't try to deceive me. If you want to kill me, just do it. Now that I'm in the Seven Stars Plane, I'm not afraid to die."

"Not afraid to die?" Li Yuan smiled, "Are you really here in the Seven Stars Civilization of your own free will?"

"Of course," Su Ha'er said.

"I have a method to impose a restriction in your soul. If you betray me, I can easily kill you." Li Yuan said softly, "But if you follow my orders, I naturally won't kill you."

"Just a soul restriction?" Su Ha'er coldly laughed, "Is it Mind Soul Control? Do you really think I'm a fool, unaware of such methods?"

"Your soul realm is probably close to the False Deity Realm. You might have even cultivated the legendary Mind Soul Control technique. Do you think you can deceive me?" Su Ha'er said in a deep voice, "Li Yuan, don't even think about it."

Boom!

Su Ha'er's life force suddenly surged, like a flame erupting.

"Hmm? Self-destruct?" Li Yuan's face changed, and he quickly retreated.

Su Ha'er's body exploded, and the majestic Origin Energy within the Sea of Origin erupted in all directions... Under Li Yuan's domain suppression, the self-destruction only caused a small-scale impact, which didn't harm Li Yuan.

"These aliens are also quite fierce." Li Yuan thought, "To become a Flying Heaven Demonic Son, one must have a high vision. It's not easy to control a Archon's mind and soul. Usually, the other party has to be willing, and not resist at the beginning, for it to work." Li Yuan thought, "If I can control a Archon, it would be a great help."

"If the Seven Stars Civilization could have four or five more Archons, then it would be much easier to control the realm." Li Yuan thought, and with a wave of his hand, he collected all the treasures left by Su Ha'er.

Huff!

Li Yuan followed the underground path, heading in the direction where Sang Qiu, the female Archon, had fled.

It took Li Yuan nearly ten seconds to kill Puyang.

It took Li Yuan nearly a minute to kill Su Ha'er.

Sang Qiu had already escaped Li Yuan's perception range, which was why Li Yuan wasn't in a hurry to kill Su Ha'er.

"As for the last female Archon, I can only try to find her." Li Yuan thought, "But I'm mainly relying on Xiao Bing."

Huff!

After searching in the predicted direction for nearly two minutes, Li Yuan suddenly...

"Big Brother, I've caught that Archon." Xiao Bing's voice, filled with excitement, suddenly rang in Li Yuan's mind, "She wants to live."
