Chapter 450: The Slaughter! The Shocking of the Elite
Chapter 450: The Slaughter! The Shocking of the Elite
"A Demigod, how is it possible to have the strength of a Demigod peak? How profound must one's understanding of the Laws be?" The purple dragon beast roared in anger and surprise.
During their previous encounter, the human Demigod's strength had left him in awe, with his domain, movement techniques, and various other aspects completely suppressing him. It was only when they clashed head-on that their strengths seemed somewhat equal.
But at that time, the purple dragon beast wasn't afraid, after all, a Demigod's ability to protect themselves was far superior.
Now? The opponent's offensive power was far too overwhelming.
"A weapon? Is it that long spear? But I sense it's only a Demigod-level artifact, not a True Divine Artifact." The purple dragon beast couldn't understand this, and he didn't want to think further.
If they fought again, there would be a risk to his life.
"Run for your life! Otherwise, there's a real possibility of dying here." The purple dragon beast quickly retreated, intending to flee.
"Haha, there's no need for the Silver Moon Divine Spear to display the sixth move of the Boundary Cloud Spear. My attack power is only at the 54th-rank level." Li Yuan's eyes lit up slightly, "Once unleashed, it's indeed a significant increase, enough to rival a 55th-rank, which is considered the bottom line of a Demigod peak."
A 55th-rank Demigod was not only a step stronger in power compared to a 54th-rank, but the intricacies of their techniques would also leap from the initial stage of the eighth level to the middle stage, making their overall strength significantly more formidable.
Normally, a Demigod with seven-star veins, after cultivating the ninth level of the body refinement technique, could unleash power comparable to a 51st-rank Demigod.
Therefore, Demigod Sons like Yan Dong, with their understanding of techniques rivaling the peak of Demigods, could possess the strength of a 54th-rank.
These exceptional Demigods made up for their lack of understanding of the Laws with their profound comprehension of techniques.
As for Li Yuan?
Being a Demigod with nine-star veins, after reaching the pinnacle of his Origin Power Star Technique cultivation, when he unleashed the Ten Thousand Things Divine Body and the Heaven and Earth River, his strength was already comparable to a 54th-rank Demigod.
This formidable power foundation was just one of the advantages of having nine-star veins.
With multiple ninth-rank Star Techniques, a Demigod with nine-star veins would become extremely formidable in all aspects.
Taking Li Yuan as an example, when he wielded the Silver Moon Divine Spear, it seemed like his attack only reached the 55th-rank level. But with the Ten Thousand Shadows Void, his threat level was far greater than any other Demigod peak.
"Trying to escape?"
Whoosh!
Li Yuan's illusory bodies intertwined, and with a single flash, he covered hundreds of kilometers, once again closing in on the purple dragon beast with his domain suppression. The beast couldn't escape even if it wanted to.
Immediately, Li Yuan's long spear unleashed a barrage of attacks.
The might of these attacks far surpassed their initial clash.
"How can he have so many illusory bodies? How can he maintain so many real illusory bodies? I can't distinguish them at all. Even other dragon beasts that cultivate the Law of Wind for their illusory bodies can't achieve this." The purple dragon beast was anxious, desperately trying to block the attacks with its hooves.
Boom! Boom!
The Silver Moon Spear weaved through the void like a silver serpent.
Li Yuan's dozens of illusory bodies simultaneously executed spear techniques, intertwining countless spear shadows, making it impossible for the beast to dodge the real spear. Almost every thrust caused significant damage.
In the blink of an eye...
The purple dragon beast was covered in wounds, its massive body marred by deep gashes, and even its skull had been blasted apart. The beast desperately tried to heal its body.
A Demigod's soul was fused with divine fire.
Even if its body was completely destroyed, a Demigod wouldn't directly perish, but the injuries would affect the circulation of Origin Power, power outbursts, and more.
For example, Star Techniques derived their power from the corresponding star veins within the body. If the body was injured, the star veins would also be affected.
As the battle continued, the purple beast's ability to defend weakened, and its recovery speed couldn't keep up with the damage.
"No!"
"No!" The purple beast roared in agony.
"Respected human, spare me! I'll offer you all my treasures, and I can also provide information about other dragon beasts." The purple beast was desperate.
Indeed, he was in a hurry.
He wasn't unfamiliar with the strength of Demigod peaks, be they human or dragon beasts; he had encountered them before.
But he had never met someone so perverted.
Although the attacks were only at the 55th-rank level, the combination of ultra-fast flight speed, powerful domain, and numerous illusory bodies... the threat level was at least ten times greater than that of other Demigod peak powerhouses.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The spear shadows shifted and transformed.
Li Yuan didn't care about the beast's pleas; he continued his relentless assault. In his eyes, this purple dragon beast was just a stupid, slow target... posing no threat to him.
The two continued their fierce battle... or rather, a one-sided attack.
"No!" The purple dragon beast had completely lost hope, and it wailed in pain.
Boom!!! The purple dragon beast chose to self-destruct, unleashing a perfect combination of its soul, willpower, and Origin Power core.
Self-Destruction!
Li Yuan's figure became blurry, and his entire being seemed to merge with the void, flowing like a beam of light as he fled hundreds of kilometers... only to be pursued by the terrifying aftermath of the self-destruction.
Boom! The terrifying impact force passed through the void and struck Li Yuan's body.
However, at such a distance, the shockwave's power had diminished significantly.
Combined with the dual weakening from the domain and battle armor, the residual impact was minimal and couldn't inflict any harm on Li Yuan.
"The Void True Interpretation is indeed infinitely powerful."
Li Yuan endured the self-detonation impact, a smile involuntarily appearing on his lips.
As the tenth level of the Star Technique, "Void True Interpretation" possessed three formidable abilities.
First, it greatly enhanced Li Yuan's affinity with the origin of the Spatial Law, which was its core function.
Second, it augmented Li Yuan's ability to wield the mysteries of space, but the effect wasn't too noticeable.
Third, it granted him the "Void Walk" state, in which Li Yuan's Origin Power consumption would surge, but his entire being would enter a state akin to the ninth level of the Escape Star Technique, "Heavenly Feather," where his flight speed would reach terrifying heights.
"Without using 'Void Walk,' my flight speed already surpasses most Demigod peak experts," Li Yuan thought. "But once I activate it, I fear even most Demigod peak experts won't be able to catch up to me."
This was the terror of the tenth level of the Star Technique.
Just the side effect of enhanced escape ability was on par with the ninth level of an Escape Star Technique.
Of course, activating it consumed a massive amount of Origin Power... Li Yuan was only at the 49.9th level, and even with the support of the Nine Star Veins, he couldn't maintain so many powerful Star Techniques for an extended period.
"With all my strength, in terms of escape speed, among those at the same rank, except for top-tier wind-attributed divine beasts like Little Bing, no one should be able to catch up to me," Li Yuan thought.
He quickly collected the remnants of the purple dragon beast's treasures and took the dragon crystal, which had shrunk significantly.
Whoosh! Li Yuan vanished in an instant, disappearing at the edge of the void.
...
Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, several months had gone by.
Li Yuan traversed the Dragon Blood Realm, constantly hunting Demigod-rank dragon beasts.
Even though he was being cautious, he would only kill one Demigod-rank dragon beast after traveling several million kilometers. Still, this had caused a stir among the dragon beasts in this region.
First, although the Dragon Blood Realm was vast, the number of Demigod-rank dragon beasts was limited. In a short period, dozens of them had fallen in one area, all by the same person, which was astonishing.
Second, the news of Li Yuan, a human Demigod, bursting out with Demigod peak strength, was too eye-catching, causing the information to spread even faster.
...
Huff! Li Yuan flew in the void, gazing down at the vast earth below and sensing the more distant lands.
"It's time to find my next prey."
Li Yuan contemplated, "Through real combat, I can hone my spear techniques. The 56th-level dragon beast I encountered a few days ago, even though I couldn't kill it, it still allowed me to improve my spear skills."
"By continuing to fight and accumulate experience, one day, I'll surely comprehend the seventh move of 'Boundary Cloud Spear.'"
Understanding the laws and the intricacies of techniques were two different matters.
In terms of the level of understanding the laws, Li Yuan wasn't exceptionally high in earth, wind, or space... even though he had condensed the True Intent of Space, his pure spatial abilities were only equivalent to the initial stage of the eighth level (mid-level Demigod).
However, combat ultimate techniques and moves were the application of law comprehension.
By combining the understanding of the three laws, Li Yuan easily comprehended the sixth move of "Boundary Cloud Spear," a technique on par with Demigod peak experts.
"In terms of technique intricacies, I'm still a bit weaker compared to the Demi-God Sons," Li Yuan smiled. "But with my advantage in Origin Power and Star Techniques, even Jing Kui might not be my match."
If he could comprehend the seventh move of "Boundary Cloud Spear," Li Yuan would undoubtedly sweep through all opponents in the Ancestral Realm Battle.
But this was very difficult.
After all, the seventh move of "Boundary Cloud Spear" was already a technique on par with the highest level of Demigod experts.
"Hmm?"
"Senior Brother Jiang Yuan is looking for me?" Li Yuan wondered. "Is he finally calling for me?"
...
In the Perception Star City, the Divine Fire Palace, within Li Yuan's mansion.
In a special palace.
Whoosh! Numerous lights and shadows converged, forming Li Yuan's shadow, as the communication artifact he had left behind was activated.
Every member of the Divine Fire Palace who ventured outside would leave similar artifacts for crucial communication.
"Deputy City Lord, Crimson Sun True God," Li Yuan immediately spotted Jiang Yuan True God and the Crimson Sun True God, bowing respectfully.
"Are you well?" Jiang Yuan True God asked directly.
"I'm well," Li Yuan nodded.
"Li Yuan, I ask you, is it you who has been slaughtering Demigod-rank dragon beasts in the Dragon Blood Realm these past few months?" Crimson Sun True God couldn't help but ask.
Li Yuan was taken aback, then hesitated, "I've only killed less than forty Demigod-rank dragon beasts in these months... that shouldn't be too many, right?"
"Are you the one they're talking about?" Li Yuan couldn't help but ask.
After hearing this sentence, Jiang Yuan True God and Crimson Sun True God fell silent. Not too many?
Do they think Demigod-rank dragon beasts are cabbages? However, the two True Gods still found it hard to believe.
Is it really Li Yuan?
The information they had just received from the Dragon Blood Realm only suspected Li Yuan; they didn't dare to confirm it completely.
After all, in the last Demigod ranking battle, Li Yuan ranked 11th, relying on his powerful soul attack... but in terms of physical attack methods, Li Yuan was only at the level of the hundreds in the Divine Fire Palace.
But the intelligence they had received was that this human Demigod in the Dragon Blood Realm had achieved a physical attack power comparable to the Demigod level.
However, there weren't many Demigods from the Perception Star City currently in the Dragon Blood Realm.
That's why they had quickly asked Li Yuan.
Li Yuan's answer also left them speechless. Less than forty? According to their intelligence, that human Demigod had killed over twenty.
"Li Yuan, can your strength truly rival that of a Demigod peak?" Crimson Sun True God asked, unable to hold back.
"Yes," Li Yuan nodded.
There was no point in hiding this.
Jiang Yuan True God and Crimson Sun True God exchanged glances.
Even the highly regarded Jiang Yuan True God was, at this moment, somewhat shocked.
How much time had passed?
It had been less than three years since the last ranking battle.
"Li Yuan, stop the slaughter and return quickly," Crimson Sun True God said directly. "The dragon beast clan in the Dragon Blood Realm has secretly set up traps... according to our intelligence, even True God-rank dragon beasts are aware of your existence and want to kill you."
"That's why we hurried to ask you."
