Chapter 466: Overwhelming Dominance and Deadly Strikes

Chapter 466: Overwhelming Dominance and Deadly Strikes

Lian Yun, the Demigod, had previously fought against Ning Chi, another Demigod, and although he was defeated, his attacking prowess was not far behind. After all, his specialty was material attacks.

But now, how does he compare to Li Yuan?

Absolutely no contest!

"Xu Yuan's attacks are incredibly powerful, almost reaching the limits of a Void Deity," Lian Yun, the Demigod, thought in awe.

He knew Xu Yuan possessed formidable strength, but he never imagined it would be on such a level.

"Is Xu Yuan really this strong?" Tian Yu, the Demigod, who was still fiercely attacking Liu Bing, was also stunned.

But his reaction was swift.

He knew that if Li Yuan defeated Lian Yun, he would be in a dire situation.

"Roar~" The two Red Dragons that had been chasing and besieging Liu Bing let out a roar and swooped down from two directions, charging towards Li Yuan.

Boom!

Tian Yu, the Demigod, moved swiftly, brandishing a double-bladed weapon as he rushed forward with astonishing speed.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Two dazzling blades of light flashed, sharp and ferocious.

"Get lost!" Li Yuan, in a fit of rage, merely glanced at the two Red Dragons.

Boom!

A vast Heavenly and Earth River Domain appeared, covering a radius of over a hundred kilometers, all under Li Yuan's control. The crimson clouds dispersed, further intensifying Li Yuan's imposing aura.

"Huff!" After manifesting his domain, Li Yuan's silver moon divine lance spun rapidly, emitting a terrifying spinning force that seemed to distort space itself.

His might was truly awe-inspiring!

"Puff~" "Puff~"

Two lance rays of light flashed, each causing the void to tremble slightly. Two dazzling 'Space Scars' appeared in the void, their speed and power skyrocketing to a terrifying degree, directly piercing through the two Red Dragons' heads.

"Boom~" Like a withered tree succumbing to a raging storm, the two Red Dragons, whose strength was nearly at the apex of a Void Deity, crumbled under the might of the array's energy.

In terms of offense, these two Red Dragons were formidable.

However, when it came to survival and defense, the array's energy was naturally inferior to that of genuine cultivator.

Annihilated!

"Boom~" As the lance rays of light flashed by, Li Yuan's silver moon long spear resembled a roaring serpent.

The spear moved like lightning!

After clashing with the blade light nine times in the blink of an eye, Li Yuan disregarded the surrounding array's pressure and struck Tian Yu, sending him flying with a mouthful of blood.

He was no match at all!

Combining the three fundamental laws, especially with the Spatial Law as its core, Li Yuan's spear technique possessed formidable power, capable of leaving lance scars in the spatial layer and even tearing through space.

Simultaneously, his spear technique was incredibly swift.

The speed of his attacks was unparalleled across the entire Ancestral Realm battlefield.

Of course, Li Yuan's actual spear skill wasn't this high, as he had yet to comprehend the eighth style of the 'Domain Cloud Spear'.

The immense might he displayed was largely due to the power of the Primal Divine Armament.

The Primal Divine Armaments used by Demigods could, at most, be 'Void Deity-grade'.

So-called Void Deity-grade divine artifacts primarily served to amplify the power of Void Deities.

After all, the essence of Void Deity-grade Primal Divine Armaments inherently had a lower limit compared to True God-grade artifacts.

Once the intricacies of one's techniques reached the True God level, the amplifying effect of Void Deity-grade Primal Divine Armaments would significantly diminish.

Every divine artifact had its power limit.

"Other Demigods lack sufficient Essence Energy, but in my hands, the Silver Moon Divine Lance's power is nearly maximized," Li Yuan declared as he charged towards Tian Yu, the Demigod, with his spear.

Lian Yun, the Demigod, also roared as he swung his battle sword in response.

A one-versus-two battle ensued!

The clash shook the heavens and the earth.

Even without employing soul attacks or the 'Ten Thousand Shadows Void', Li Yuan effortlessly suppressed the two Demigods, continuously worsening their injuries.

"Retreat!"

"Let's escape!" Tian Yu and Lian Yun, both Demigods, finally realized Li Yuan's terrifying strength and hastily retreated.

Tian Yu, the Demigod, desperately manipulated the array, attempting to affect Li Yuan, but to no avail.

This crude array could confuse and trap Liu Bing, but it couldn't hold Li Yuan; it merely affected his perception range.

"Xu Yuan, we'll let you have Liu Bing. Spare us, and we'll give you the Ancestral Realm Token," Lian Yun pleaded repeatedly, utterly terrified by Li Yuan's ferocious attacks.

"Xu Yuan."

"We're all humans. Liu Bing is from the Sky Serpent Clan. Why are you helping her?" Tian Yu, the Demigod, quickly added, "We'll give you the Ancestral Realm Token and won't contest it with you. What do you say? We can help you capture Liu Bing."

They were genuinely afraid.

But Li Yuan remained unmoved, his long spear dancing within the domain, creating phantasmal lance rays of light that forced the two top-tier Demigods to retreat step by step.

These two were in grave danger of perishing!

"Defend!"

"Block him together!" Tian Yu and Lian Yun, both Demigods, fought desperately, unwilling to activate the Realm Token and teleport away. They defended with all their might, hoping for a glimmer of survival.

"Big brother!"

"He's too formidable," exclaimed Liu Bing, not far away, as she focused on healing her injuries.

She, too, was astonished. Even with her bloodline enhancement and astonishing growth rate, she still couldn't match Li Yuan.

Li Yuan's strength had increased at an even more astonishing rate than hers.

...

"How is Xu Yuan's strength so formidable? He's on a whole different level compared to Lian Yun," someone remarked.

"A Demigod's soul attack can annihilate over two hundred Void Deity-level Demigods?"

"His spear technique is extraordinary. I feel it's even stronger than before, reaching a whole new level," another person commented.

"His attacks are among the strongest, even among 56th-level Void Deities. They're nearly at the Void Deity limit," the group of Celestial Deities exclaimed in awe.

How many years had it been!

In the Ancestral Realm battles, it had been ages since such a dazzling and powerful Demigod had appeared, at least not in the last several hundred thousand years.

And Xu Yuan, who had achieved this, was merely in his early forties.

His future was limitless.

"Xu Yuan is indeed formidable, and his progress is much faster than we imagined," Tai You and Zhuang Hong, both Celestial Deities, were extremely pleased.

"My little junior disciple," Jiang Yuan, the Celestial Deity, thought to himself, "Even with a Nine Star Vein, such a cultivation speed is somewhat abnormal."

A Nine Star Vein indicated a strong foundation in Essence Energy and powerful Star Techniques.

But to unleash extraordinary strength, one also needed to comprehend the laws and their secrets.

Essence Energy, Star Techniques, and the comprehension of laws were equally crucial.

"Xu Yuan is indeed powerful, but what is he up to?" Dong Jun asked in a low voice, a hint of anger in his tone. "Tai You, he didn't face the siege of your Eastern Shadow Holy Land's experts. Why did he soul-annihilate so many elite Demigods from your Eastern Shadow Holy Land?"

Dong Jun wasn't truly concerned about the hundreds of deceased Demigods.

In the probability of hundreds of Demigods, for a few to ascend to True Gods is already an incredible feat.

Even a Sacred Blood Sky Serpent would find it difficult to make a Celestial Deity truly take them seriously. After all, the top-tier Divine Beast bloodline only grows to the apex of the Void Deity.

The path to becoming a Celestial Deity is not an easy one.

However, Li Yuan's actions made him feel extremely embarrassed.

"Dong Jun, calm down. These are the rules of the Ancestral Realm battle," Vast Wanderer Celestial Deity said indifferently. "Xu Yuan is just a Demigod, a group of little guys fighting. Life and death battles rely solely on their abilities. Do you think it's unfair?"

Dong Jun let out a cold snort.

"Vast Wanderer, Azure Rainbow, do Xu Yuan and Liu Bing know each other?" North Recovery Celestial Deity suddenly asked. "Otherwise, why is Xu Yuan's killing intent so heavy, and why isn't he attacking Liu Bing, who possesses the Ancestral Realm Token?"

These Celestial Deities had long sensed that something was amiss.

Xu Yuan's strength was indeed formidable and dazzling, but his behavior seemed somewhat odd.

Azure Rainbow Celestial Deity and Vast Wanderer Celestial Deity exchanged a glance, and a possible explanation flashed through their minds.

But before the two Celestial Deities could speak—

"Moonblade, Yu Ting, and Dao Ying are almost here," South River Celestial Deity said. "They're already approaching the range of the formation."

The Celestial Deities surveyed the battlefield, clearly seeing the positions of all the Demigods.

"HeavenlySovereign is in danger," Moon Glow Celestial Deity suddenly said. "Xu Yuan has erupted!"

The Celestial Deities all looked on intently.

...

Within the Ancestral Realm, shrouded by countless crimson clouds and mist, was the formation.

After Liu Bing seized the opportunity to catch her breath, her Essence Energy swiftly recovered, and as soon as her combat strength returned, she immediately transformed into a streak of light and joined the battlefield.

Liu Bing's arrival worsened the situation for HeavenlySovereign Demigod and Lianyun Demigod.

Although Liu Bing's frontal combat strength was slightly weaker than theirs, she was still at the apex of the Void Deity level, and her bizarre and unpredictable moves made it almost impossible to defend against.

The two sides clashed and clashed again.

"That's enough!"

"HeavenlySovereign Demigod's injuries are already severe enough," Li Yuan's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness.

Why didn't he use soul attack on them from the start? It was to keep them from knowing the power of his trump card, hoping for a lucky break.

After all, Li Yuan wasn't confident he could directly kill these two world-class genius Demigods.

If he had unleashed everything from the start, he might have scared HeavenlySovereign Demigod and Lianyun Demigod into using their Realm Tokens to teleport away.

But now, after such a long battle, their injuries had accumulated, and they were already badly wounded.

Their Essence Energy consumption was immense, and they had reached the 'kill line'.

"Buzz~"

An invisible soul fluctuation instantly erupted from Li Yuan's body, directly surging into the bodies of Lianyun Demigod and HeavenlySovereign Demigod.

Soul Secret Art, Soul Mind! Although he hadn't yet cultivated the True God Level Soul Secret Art, after several months, Li Yuan's soul attack was even more terrifying than when he fought Dao Ying and Yu Ting... The key was that HeavenlySovereign Demigod and Lianyun Demigod didn't have any soul-type primordial divine armaments for defense.

In an instant, a look of bewilderment flashed through the eyes of HeavenlySovereign Demigod and Lianyun Demigod, and their movements slowed down significantly.

They had been hit! Taking advantage of their weakness, he aimed to take their lives!

"Xiao Bing!" Li Yuan's voice exploded in Liu Bing's mind.

Boom!

Liu Bing charged towards HeavenlySovereign Demigod, her wings slicing through the void with breathtaking beauty.

"Roar~! Roar~!" Within the domain, the nine yellow dragons combined their attacks, their power almost reaching the apex of the Void Deity.

"Whoosh! Whoosh!" Li Yuan's long spear whistled, its might and speed seemingly enhanced, stabbing like lightning.

Before, HeavenlySovereign Demigod could block with his weapon, but now, under the soul attack, he was unable to defend and could only take the blows.

One spear after another!

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!" Even though HeavenlySovereign Demigod wore top-grade Void Deity battle armor and cultivated the Nine Refinements Long Sky Star Technique, he was still just a Demigod.

Under the fierce onslaught of Li Yuan and Liu Bing, HeavenlySovereign Demigod, already heavily injured, couldn't withstand the impact of Li Yuan's frenzied spear.

Each blow was enough to severely wound him, and after just four strikes of the divine spear, his body was already on the verge of collapse.

His Essence Core shattered!

His soul was instantly annihilated!

But Li Yuan relentlessly stabbed thirteen times, causing HeavenlySovereign Demigod's divine battle armor to disintegrate, his body completely annihilated.

The first Demigod of Longqing Ancient City, HeavenlySovereign Demigod, was dead.

HeavenlySovereign Demigod was the first truly deceased Demigod with the strength of the apex of the Void Deity in the Ancestral Realm battle so far.

Even Ning Chi and Moonblade had defeated Demigods of this caliber, but due to the rules of the Ancestral Realm battle, killing them was out of the question.

After all, strong individuals could activate their Realm Tokens and leave with just a thought.

But now, Li Yuan had done it!

As HeavenlySovereign Demigod died, the formation he had been controlling rapidly weakened, and the crimson clouds and mist began to dissipate.

"Huh?" Lianyun Demigod finally regained consciousness from the continuous illusions and witnessed this horrifying scene.

It had only been a short time since the two Demigods joined forces against their enemies, and now, HeavenlySovereign Demigod had been directly killed by Xu Yuan?

This realization sent a chill down Lianyun Demigod's spine.

Li Yuan's gaze, filled with murderous intent, fell upon Lianyun Demigod.

In this year of the Ancestral Realm battle, Li Yuan rarely harbored such strong killing intent towards anyone. He truly wanted to kill Lianyun Demigod and HeavenlySovereign Demigod.

"Die!" Li Yuan's eyes flashed with determination as he simultaneously launched a soul attack, attempting to plunge Lianyun Demigod back into the illusions.

But Lianyun Demigod suddenly disappeared.

As soon as he regained consciousness and witnessed HeavenlySovereign Demigod's death, Lianyun Demigod realized he had to leave.

If he didn't leave the Ancestral Realm now, his life was undoubtedly at stake! Although the Ancestral Realm Token was valuable, one had to stay alive to enjoy its benefits... Lianyun Demigod was decisive, and he fled without hesitation.

Only by staying alive could one possess everything.

"He ran away," Liu Bing said helplessly.

If not for Lianyun Demigod's attack, HeavenlySovereign Demigod alone wouldn't have been able to do anything to her.

But before Li Yuan and Liu Bing could exchange more words—

"Hmm? Something's not right," Li Yuan's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness.

The next moment—

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" Figures exuding powerful auras emerged from the dissipating crimson clouds and mist, forming a formation that surrounded Li Yuan and Liu Bing.

"They're here."

"Xu Yuan and Liu Bing are here."

"They're surrounded."

"They can't escape." Figures appeared, led by a dirty girl with a bloodstained blade.

Among the other five, three were familiar to Li Yuan, former opponents.

"Dao Ying, Yu Ting, and Cloud in Picture, a group of defeated foes," Li Yuan said coldly.
