Chapter 449: Return! The Pinnacle of Demigod
Chapter 449: Return! The Pinnacle of Demigod
The Primal Divine Armament is an exceptionally unique category of weaponry. At first glance, it appears no different from a regular divine artifact.
The key lies within its origin.
It is typically crafted by a Heaven God who has observed a cultivator's soul essence and cultivation path, creating a 'personalized weapon' exclusively for them.
The goal is to achieve a perfect fit.
"A Demigod can only wield an Illusory Divine Armament at its strongest." Li Yuan held the silver divine spear in his hand, "Take my Darkstar Divine Spear, for example. It was forged by Gu You and Qiu Bing, and it suits me better than most top-grade Illusory Divine Armaments."
However, when compared to this Primal Divine Armament, the Darkstar Divine Spear falls short in power when executing the same techniques.
It's similar to some powerful secret techniques and arts.
In the hands of their creators, these techniques often possess the greatest might. Why? Because they perfectly align with their users.
Later learners will always fall slightly short.
"If I were to use other divine artifacts, I'd need to nurture them for a period." Li Yuan sighed to himself, "But this Primal Divine Armament requires no such nurturing."
Holding it made Li Yuan feel comfortable, as if he had already fought alongside it for thousands of years, their hearts understanding each other.
"A fine weapon." Li Yuan casually swung the spear, and with a slight movement of the spear shaft, it seemed as if the void itself was trembling.
This was something the Darkstar Divine Spear couldn't achieve.
"Put away the weapon."
The silver-haired elder smiled and said, "Alright, you'll receive all the benefits of a Golden Robe Member."
"Now it's your turn to choose. Do you want to return to your hometown, or continue with the Purple Robe Member's task?"
"I'll continue," Li Yuan replied without hesitation.
"Hmm." The silver-haired elder wasn't surprised, "With your strength, completing the Purple Robe Member's task shouldn't be difficult, but you should still be cautious... The Ancestral Realm War on the Perception Star Continent is not as simple as you imagine."
Li Yuan seemed to be deep in thought.
The first thing that came to Li Yuan's mind was the Perception Star Pill.
This rare item, which aids in awakening star veins, was not mentioned in any of the divine realm information he had access to.
"Do you want to leave now or stay here longer?" the silver-haired elder asked. "The flow of time here is the same as on the Perception Star Continent."
"You've already spent a year and a half here." The silver-haired elder spoke.
"Elder, I'd like to stay in the Star Technique space for a little longer, if possible," Li Yuan asked eagerly.
The tranquil chamber provided an unparalleled sense of peace for the soul, making it an excellent place for cultivation.
"It's up to you."
"Just don't wander into other Star Pillar spaces without permission." The silver-haired elder added, "Also, calculate the time carefully. If you miss this Ancestral Realm War... If you want to complete the Purple Robe Member's task again, you'll have to wait another five hundred years."
"After you complete the Purple Robe Member's task, you'll receive another treasure... Its value will exceed your imagination."
"I'll be on my way."
"If you want to leave, just call out," the Purple Robe Elder said, turning around with his hands behind his back. He slowly walked away and soon disappeared into one of the Star Pillars.
Li Yuan watched him leave.
"The Purple Robe Member's task? A treasure beyond my imagination? What could it be?" Li Yuan was curious, and he secretly made a determination.
"There are five more years until the Ancestral Realm War."
"I've already cultivated my Origin Power and Star Techniques to their peak," Li Yuan said with determination. "Next, I'll continue to comprehend the laws and refine my spear techniques."
His understanding of the laws had greatly improved, but it had not yet been transformed into strength.
His spear techniques were only at the intermediate level of a Demigod.
"Hua!" Li Yuan put away his spear and directly entered the Star Technique Pillar, then sat cross-legged in the tranquil chamber, devoting himself to unraveling the mysteries of the Boundary Cloud Spear, attempting to combine the three fundamental laws into one.
...
Time passed.
In the blink of an eye, a year had gone by.
Li Yuan felt that his cultivation had reached its current peak, and continuing further would yield diminishing returns.
"I should return to the Perception Star Continent. Besides cultivation, I can also complete some trials and accumulate more treasures." Li Yuan thought to himself.
Without hesitation, Li Yuan's heart moved, and he emerged from the Star Technique Pillar.
But this time, there was no silver-haired elder waiting in the divine palace.
"Elder, I want to return and continue my mission," Li Yuan announced.
The next moment,
A hum~
An invisible wave enveloped Li Yuan, mysterious and vast. As space and time changed, Li Yuan disappeared within the grand divine palace.
...
The Dragon Blood Realm, vast and expansive, within an unremarkable mountain canyon.
Hua!
Li Yuan appeared out of thin air.
"Hmm? You're back already? What kind of divine ability is this? Even after I've condensed the True Intent of Space, I still can't detect any traces." Li Yuan marveled.
Then,
Li Yuan sensed that in his spiritual world, next to the Soul Palace, there was still a golden token.
With a slight perception, Li Yuan received a message from the token: "If the Purple Robe Member's task is completed, you can return to the Eternity Palace. If not, you will be directly sent back to your hometown world."
The Return Token!
"So, this is a life-saving item?" Li Yuan's eyes lit up.
If he encountered an insurmountable danger, activating the Return Token might be something even a True God couldn't stop.
Li Yuan wasn't sure if a Heaven God could stop it.
"However, if I use the Return Token before completing the Ancestral Realm War, it will be considered a failure of the Purple Robe Member's task." Li Yuan thought to himself, "So, this can only be used as a last resort."
Hua! Li Yuan looked up at the four directions of the mountain range.
He was back at the same spot he had left two and a half years ago. After condensing the True Intent of Space, Li Yuan's perception abilities became even more astonishing, allowing him to easily observe situations over ten thousand kilometers away.
Spiritual probing was the most detailed method, but its range was limited.
On the other hand, spatial perception was less precise and not entirely accurate, but its advantage lay in its vast range.
"Now that I'm back, those two Soul Lanterns should have been relit." Li Yuan looked into the void, "Jiang Yuan, my senior brother, should already know."
"If he wants to find me, he'll come to me."
"I wonder what Senior Brother Jiang Yuan will think when he finds out how quickly I've grasped the True Intent of Space," Li Yuan said with a slight smile.
Whoosh! Li Yuan soared into the sky, his figure flashing as he easily surpassed a speed of 50 kilometers per second... and this wasn't even Li Yuan's full power.
Speed alone!
At Li Yuan's full power, most peak Demigod-level experts couldn't match him.
After more than two years of secluded cultivation in the Eternity Palace, Li Yuan's strength had undergone a tremendous transformation.
"First, I'll complete the trial mission in the Dragon Blood Realm," Li Yuan thought to himself as he vanished into the horizon.
...
Deep within the Law Enforcement Divine Palace in Awakening Star City, a message was conveyed to Jiang Yuan: "The Soul Lantern of Xu Yuan, the Holy Son, has ignited again. Based on its approximate location, Xu Yuan should currently be within the Dragon Blood Realm."
Jiang Yuan opened his eyes, a thought crossing his mind: "The Soul Lantern has ignited? Could he have returned?"
"Alright, I understand," Jiang Yuan replied via divine message.
Jiang Yuan had intended to activate the communication artifact left by Li Yuan to inquire about him.
But after some consideration, Jiang Yuan decided against it.
"If there's anything urgent, Xu Yuan will surely send me a message. As long as he returns alive, that's all that matters," Jiang Yuan thought.
Xu Yuan's rapid growth had made Jiang Yuan increasingly attentive.
However, deep down, Jiang Yuan still believed in the principle of 'the strong grow stronger.'
"I should focus on my own cultivation first," Jiang Yuan said as he gently closed his eyes. "I've nearly grasped the will of the Spatial Law and even created the ultimate combat technique of the Heaven God... yet, I still can't comprehend the ultimate path of the Fire Law."
In terms of law comprehension, Jiang Yuan had reached the level of a Heaven God centuries ago.
To become a Heaven God, one must comprehend the ultimate path of a single law. As the direct disciple of the Heaven God An Chi, Jiang Yuan naturally focused on the Fire Law.
The final step of comprehending the Fire Law had stumped Jiang Yuan for thousands of years.
...
Dragon Blood Realm.
Above a vast lake, a giant figure, approximately a hundred meters tall and clad in black battle armor, was engaged in a terrifying clash with an enormous dragon beast.
Boom! A mighty earth-yellow energy wave engulfed the entire area, its formidable power causing the lake water to ripple and vanish for hundreds of kilometers in all directions.
Countless tons of soil from the lake bed were simultaneously churned up, shaking violently.
And this was merely the suppression of the domain; the strands of raging earth-yellow energy that fell upon the purple dragon beast were like scraping, unable to break through its defenses.
Whoosh!
The black-armored giant clenched his fist, his massive body moving with lightning speed. The punch seemed to envelop the surrounding space, carrying a terrifying force.
"A Demigod?"
"Where did such a powerful Demigod come from?" the purple dragon beast roared in its heart. It swiftly swung its hooves and claws, like a pillar of heaven, slamming into the fist.
The two collided instantly!!!
Boom!!!
The fist and hooves clashed, and the center of the collision seemed to distort space. The terrifying aftermath instantly rippled in all directions, causing the ground of the lake to continuously shake for thousands of kilometers... countless creatures within the lake perished in an instant.
Even some Demigod-level dragon beasts, in their panic, failed to escape the combat range and met their demise.
When deities battle, the heavens and earth tremble.
Boom!
The intense clash was a direct confrontation, with each of their movements covering seventy to eighty kilometers and the impact force spreading for thousands of kilometers, causing the vast lake to shake continuously.
Suddenly, the purple dragon beast swung its hooves and claws, sending the black-armored giant flying backward for hundreds of kilometers before he slammed into the lake, causing a massive splash.
"Without using weapons or soul attacks, it's indeed challenging to win against a level 54 dragon beast purely through brute force," Li Yuan said excitedly as he stared at the purple dragon beast. "But it's definitely thrilling."
This kind of frenzied battle was Li Yuan's way of honing his combat skills.
Practical combat was crucial for quickly identifying one's weaknesses.
"Quickly leave!" the purple dragon beast roared. "You're only at the Demigod realm, and the fact that you can fight me shows your immense strength. But you can't possibly kill me."
"Is that so?"
"The sharpening is over; it's time to send you on your way," Li Yuan said with a grin, and a silver spear instantly appeared in his hand—the Silver Moon Divine Spear.
This was the name Li Yuan had given to his Primal Divine Armament.
"What?" The purple dragon beast felt a sense of unease, sensing a deadly threat from the seemingly ordinary silver spear.
Whoosh!
Li Yuan instantly created dozens of afterimages, their intertwining movements making it impossible for the purple dragon beast to discern the real Li Yuan, who now stood at its side with the spear.
"What? What kind of movement technique is this?" The purple dragon beast was completely baffled, unable to distinguish even a single afterimage.
How could it know that after grasping the True Intent of Space, Li Yuan's Ten Thousand Shadows Void ability had become even more terrifying?
"Sand Shadow!" Li Yuan swung the spear, and the tip of the spear left a clear trail in the sky, as if carving a mark in the void.
The sixth technique of the Boundary Cloud Spear, Sand Shadow! Among the countless real and fake spear techniques, this was the most powerful shadow, fleeting like a phantom.
Whoosh! The spear's radiance was terrifying as it easily tore through the purple dragon beast's abdominal scale defense, creating a massive wound from which blood gushed forth.
"How is this possible!"
"What kind of spear technique is this? Is this the Demigod level?" The purple dragon beast was completely baffled, its eyes filled with fear.
"What kind of monster is this?"
