Chapter 459: Li Yuan and Yu Ting
Chapter 459: Li Yuan and Yu Ting
(There is an explanation at the end of the previous chapter regarding Liu Bing)
"I've been at the threshold of Demi-God for over seven years, and it's been more than six years since I've been cultivating the True Intent of Space," Li Yuan smiled, "Finally, all three of my foundational laws have reached the eighth level."
If one were to count from when he truly began to comprehend the mysteries of the world at the fifth level of artistry, Li Yuan has been cultivating for over twenty years.
During his adventures in the Solitary Cloud World, Li Yuan's comprehension of the Earth Principle had already reached the eighth level.
As for the Law of Wind, his understanding was slightly slower.
"However, in these years, my fastest progress has been in the Spatial Law," Li Yuan glanced at the Divine Palace panel with his peripheral vision.
---
[Artistry Realm: True Intent of Space (Middle Eighth Level), Earth Principle (Initial Eighth Level), Law of Wind (Initial Eighth Level), Fire Essence (Perfect Sixth Level)...]
...
In just over six years, Li Yuan had advanced his True Intent of Space from the Initial Eighth Level to the Middle Eighth Level... In reality, it had been nearly a year since Li Yuan's True Intent of Space reached the Middle Eighth Level, and this speed was absolutely astonishing.
If this news got out, it would leave countless True Gods in awe.
After all, Li Yuan did not possess the bloodline power of the Holy Blood Sky Serpent or the Five Claws Golden Dragon. He was just an ordinary being.
Bloodlines were a direct path to enlightenment and improvement over time, and there were almost no bottlenecks before reaching the limit of one's bloodline potential.
Whether it was the so-called Spatial Dao Body or the Void True Explanation, they only increased one's affinity with the origin of the laws, and in the end, cultivators still had to comprehend them step by step.
There was an essential difference between the two.
"My comprehension speed of foundational laws is far inferior to Bing's."
"But when it comes to the comprehension of the Spatial Law, even a top-tier divine beast like Bing, with her bloodline power fully unleashed after becoming a Demi-God, would probably not be able to keep up with me," Li Yuan smiled.
When it came to cultivation speed, nine out of ten Heaven Gods would be outmatched by top-tier divine beasts.
Take Jiang Yuan, for example, with his exceptional talent and numerous fortuitous encounters, it took him ten thousand years to reach the True God limit.
As for the Holy Blood Sky Serpent and the Five Claws Golden Dragon? Even without cultivation, they could achieve True God limit strength within a thousand years at most.
This was the terror of bloodlines, something others could only envy.
But any top-tier divine beast with true ambition would never slack off because of this; instead, they would cultivate even harder to lay a more perfect foundation, because the peak of their bloodline was the 'True God limit', and the path beyond that... had to be walked alone.
Even top-tier divine beasts had to cultivate diligently to have a chance at becoming Heaven Gods.
"However, it's been several months, and I still haven't encountered Bing," Li Yuan thought to himself.
The Ancestral Realm was too vast.
Even with Li Yuan's full effort, flying in a straight line, it would still take two days to cross the Ancestral Realm.
Moreover, it was unrealistic to maintain the Void Traverse for an extended period; it consumed Origin Power too quickly, and even someone with Li Yuan's abundant Origin Power couldn't sustain it.
Usually, Li Yuan would fly normally and only burst into full-speed flight during critical moments.
This was also the reason why Li Yuan hadn't encountered any other Demi-Gods from the first echelon up until now.
"The Law of Wind has broken through."
"In a short time, it will be difficult for the three foundational laws to undergo a qualitative change," Li Yuan's eyes shone, "What I need to do now is to continue searching for other Demi-Gods to spar and hone my spear techniques."
Combining the laws and then comprehending combat secret techniques had always been Li Yuan's weakness compared to other top-tier Demi-Gods.
There was no way around it; Li Yuan's comprehension speed of the laws was just too fast.
Take Jing Kui and Lian Yun, for example; it took them decades, or even centuries, to comprehend True God-level combat secret techniques.
How long had it been since Li Yuan entered the Demi-God realm? "I've been in secluded cultivation for most of the time," Li Yuan thought, "It's been almost half a year, and the remaining participants should be the stronger ones. Defeating them should earn me more points."
"Moreover,"
"I also need to find some formidable Demi-Gods to spar with," Li Yuan was quite expectant.
Although the majority of Demi-Gods had Origin Power and Star Techniques far inferior to his,
There were still numerous participants whose understanding of techniques had reached the Demigod Apex and Demigod Limit levels.
Hoo!
Li Yuan quietly left the area without making a sound.
...
In the blink of an eye, about half a month after breaking through the Law of Wind, Li Yuan found himself above a desolate wasteland.
The howling wind blew as Li Yuan concealed his aura and flew in the void, his gaze sweeping past a massive dragon-shaped corpse below.
A deceased Demi-God.
"It's a Demi-God of the Divine Dragon Clan," Li Yuan muttered to himself, "Did it not escape?"
The Divine Dragon Clan was an extremely large and terrifying clan in the Divine Realm, second only to the Human Clan. Their top-tier divine beasts, like the Five Claws Golden Dragon and the Jade Yellow Dragon, had bloodline potential on par with the Holy Blood Sky Serpent.
The Divine Dragon Clan's most formidable aspect was their ability to reproduce and assimilate other races, as pure-blooded dragons could produce offspring with most other races, and these offspring would exhibit Divine Dragon Clan features.
Subsequently, these 'mixed-blood dragons' would become a part of the Divine Dragon Clan.
This terrifying ability to reproduce and assimilate was unmatched by other divine beast clans.
Numbers were crucial!
Take the Human Clan, for example; while their individual bloodlines were mostly weak, their intelligence and spirituality were exceptional. Out of countless individuals, terrifying beings that shook the Divine Realm were born.
"However, in this realm, the Divine Dragon Clan is slightly weaker than the Sky Serpent Clan," Li Yuan thought, "I haven't heard of any top-tier Divine Dragon bloodline births either."
Suddenly—
"Hmm?"
Li Yuan turned his head abruptly, looking into the depths of the void, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, "Such intense spatial fluctuations."
"Could it be that the top hundred experts are battling?"
"According to Li Yuan's perception, this battle should be taking place over ten thousand kilometers away... For the fluctuations of heaven and earth to be this intense from such a distance, the fight must be intense."
Whoosh!
Li Yuan unleashed Void Traverse, and his speed instantly soared to two hundred kilometers per second. Within just a few dozen seconds, he had drawn near.
However, as Li Yuan approached, it was clear that the battle had already concluded.
Amidst the collapsed mountain ranges, a terrifying blade light flashed, instantly cleaving a Demigod who hadn't had time to dodge into two halves. The aftermath of the blade light caused the earth to tremble violently.
Death.
"So weak! With just one soul attack, he fell directly into my trap, not even having time to activate his teleportation." A cold voice echoed through the void, belonging to a human Demigod wielding a battle blade.
He wore black armor, appeared to be in his thirties, and had strong, muscular arms. The most striking feature was his eyes, sharp as a hawk's.
Captivating.
Aside from him, not far away, a youth in blue stood with his back to Li Yuan. His handsome features exuded an innate nobility, as if he had come to play rather than fight.
Within the collapsed mountain ranges, there were also many Demigod corpses, both human and beast.
"Rank 28, Blade Falcon?" Li Yuan's gaze swept over the black-armored man.
From the aura fluctuations released by the man's furious slash, Li Yuan had captured the corresponding information.
Being ranked 28th was proof of his strength, even if it wasn't quite at the Void Deity Apex, it was probably very close.
"Blade Falcon is one of the geniuses who suddenly emerged during the Ancestral Realm Battle."
"Who's the other one? Why do I feel a greater threat from him?" Li Yuan frowned.
Huff!
Li Yuan directly used Divine Palace Scanning.
"【Target's life level: 48.9, killing will grant spiritual nutrients】"
"【Target's life level: 48.9...】" Li Yuan received the scanning results, and his heart skipped a beat.
Two people, both with Eight-Star Veins?
When did Eight-Star Veins become so common? Where did these mysterious geniuses come from? Li Yuan's vigilance rose.
From the remnants of the battlefield, Li Yuan deduced that these two powerful beings had encountered a Demigod team and subsequently swept them away.
As the Ancestral Realm Battle continued, it was no longer unusual for Demigods to form teams of multiple people, even dozens.
With more people, the efficiency of earning points was lower, but it was safer.
Suddenly—
"Friend, you've been here for so long, and you're still hiding?" The youth in blue suddenly looked up in Li Yuan's direction: "Why not come over for a chat?"
His voice, carried by powerful source energy, instantly reverberated through the void for nearly a thousand kilometers.
Li Yuan was slightly surprised. He had concealed his aura to the best of his abilities, yet he was still detected from such a distance? This was a first.
But Li Yuan wasn't afraid; instead, he felt a tingle of excitement. With a slight movement, he no longer hid himself.
Whoosh~ The seemingly empty void twisted, and Li Yuan, clad in black and holding a silver spear, descended upon the mountains.
Nearly two hundred kilometers away, he faced the two powerful beings.
"There's another one?" Blade Falcon, with eyes as sharp as a hawk and a robust build, immediately fixed his gaze on Li Yuan.
His aggressive stare seemed to want to swallow Li Yuan whole.
"Your technique of concealing your powerful aura is formidable, and you've even managed to hide from my brother. Your understanding of the mysteries of the void must be extremely high." The youth in blue remained calm, smiling as he said, "You're probably not a nobody."
"I am Li Yuan from Perception Star." Li Yuan replied indifferently, "I don't know who you are."
Once they clashed, their identities would be revealed, so there was no need to hide.
"Li Yuan, ranked fifth in Perception Star?" Blade Falcon's eyes lit up, and a strong fighting intent surged in his gaze. He turned to the youth in blue and said directly, "Yu Ting, if I defeat him, I can also break into the top ten."
Yu Ting?
Li Yuan's heart skipped a beat as he realized who the youth in blue was—Yu Ting, ranked tenth.
These two, both with Eight-Star Veins, knew each other? And they could even evade the intelligence gathering of Perception Star City? Instantly, Li Yuan's mind raced with various thoughts, and he guessed at a possibility.
Could it be that they weren't from this world?
...
In the void above the Ancestral Realm.
"Li Yuan has encountered both Yu Ting and Blade Falcon." Numerous Heaven Gods were paying close attention to this battle.
"It seems like Li Yuan will be fighting two against one."
"That Yu Ting is from the first echelon, and he's very strong. Blade Falcon is also powerful, and among the second echelon, he's at the top... Can Li Yuan hold them off if they join forces?" Si Kun Heaven God asked.
"From what we've seen before, Li Yuan excels in domains and speed, but he's slightly weaker in direct combat." Qing Hong Heaven God frowned, "He should have no problem surviving, but I don't think he'll win."
"Yu Ting and Blade Falcon know each other, so they probably aren't from our world." Long Chuan Heaven God commented.
"Let's wait and see, everyone," Jiang Yuan Heaven God said with a smile.
Only he knew Li Yuan's true strength.
...
Within the Ancestral Realm.
"Li Yuan."
"So it's you. According to the information I've gathered, you've only cultivated for about forty years." Yu Ting, the youth in blue, smiled, and his handsome face seemed to glow, "It's a pity that you heard what my brother said. He also wants to break into the top ten."
"So... you should die!"
Yu Ting suddenly transformed into a dazzling purple divine light and charged towards Li Yuan.
