Chapter 467: Six Great Powers! The Apex Battle

Chapter 467: Six Great Powers! The Apex Battle

The figures emerging from the crimson mist were all top thirty experts on the Ranking Chart.

Each one had, at some point, displayed the power of a Void Deity Apex.

Their common trait was that they were all world-class geniuses not recorded in the initial intelligence of Perception Star City.

"Six of you working together, Moonblade, it seems you all know each other?" Li Yuan said calmly.

From the demeanor of the six, it was clear they had gradually encountered each other while hunting Liu Bing and had developed a strong mutual trust.

Such a team was incredibly formidable.

During the battle with the HeavenlySovereign Demigod and the Cloud Linked Demigod, Li Yuan had sensed other Demigods entering the formation's range. However, with his full attention on the battle and the formation partially obscuring his perception, he hadn't realized the arrival of such a terrifying group.

But even if he had known, Li Yuan would still have chosen to slay the HeavenlySovereign Demigod.

Six world-class Demigods? Li Yuan was not the least bit afraid.

"Xu Yuan, stop asking what you already know," the dirty girl grinned, revealing her teeth. "It seems you and Liu Bing are a team?"

"I just asked those fleeing Demigods if it was the Cloud Linked Demigod and the HeavenlySovereign Demigod who were blocking you?"

"In such a short time, the two of you could actually force the Cloud Linked Demigod and the HeavenlySovereign Demigod to teleport away. That's quite impressive."

"But the six of us are in a different league from those two fools."

"Even if you are powerful, you are no match for the six of us."

"Hand over the Ancestral Realm Token, and we'll let you go," Moonblade stared at Li Yuan. "This way, you can still seize the next Ancestral Realm Token. Otherwise, don't blame us for being ruthless."

Li Yuan and Liu Bing exchanged a glance.

From Moonblade's words, it seemed he was unaware that the HeavenlySovereign Demigod had already been slain?

That made sense!

The Ancestral Realm Ranking was fixed, and unless someone witnessed a Demigod's death firsthand, they wouldn't know.

The formation had also blocked Li Yuan and Liu Bing's sensing range, preventing Moonblade and Yu Ting from seeing Li Yuan kill the HeavenlySovereign Demigod.

In other words, the six top-tier Demigods before him were unaware of Li Yuan's true strength.

"Moonblade, from your tone, it seems the other five listen to you?" Li Yuan said, his mind racing with speculations.

Were the six from the same faction?

To cultivate so many top-tier geniuses simultaneously… it was impossible for them to be a hidden power in this world.

"Xu Yuan, you talk too much."

"One word, hand over the Ancestral Realm Token, and you'll be safe," the dirty girl stared at Li Yuan.

"The Ancestral Realm Token is in my hands. Have you even asked me? What if I don't hand it over?" Liu Bing sneered.

"Liu Bing, the Sacred Blood Sky Serpent bloodline is indeed formidable, and your escape technique is unparalleled, but that's only if you're not trapped," the dirty girl smiled. "Now that you're trapped, do you really think you can escape?"

"Hmph!"

Liu Bing scoffed, "I really want to see if you can take the Ancestral Realm Token from me."

Liu Bing was very affectionate with Xu Yuan.

But towards outsiders, she was cold and distant, like an iceberg.

"Enough talk."

"Moonblade!"

"Either you let us pass, or you die!" Li Yuan's cold gaze swept over Moonblade, CloudPainter, Yu Ting, and the others.

Rumble!

Yellow dragons emerged from Li Yuan's body. The Nine Dragons Mystic Armor, as a top-tier Void Deity artifact, had been pushed to its limits by Li Yuan. Combined with the Heaven and Earth River Domain, each dragon was incredibly powerful.

In reality, the nine dragons were just embellishments.

The truly formidable force was the vast, earth-colored energy stream that surged out, like a river, fiercely impacting all directions.

"Ice, when the time comes, just escape."

The moment Li Yuan unleashed the Heaven and Earth River Domain, his voice resonated in Liu Bing's mind, "I'll hold them off."

"Big Brother, no, I can also be of use," Liu Bing responded.

"Don't worry," Li Yuan transmitted, smiling. "You've seen my strength before. Just six… it's a good opportunity to hone my gun technique."

"Even if I can't win, escaping shouldn't be a problem."

"But if you stay here, more people will come, like Ning Chi, Jing Kui, Dong Pan, the Madman, and others… then I really won't be able to hold them off."

"HeavenlySovereign is already dead. I'll tie up another batch."

"There's only two hours left. Your chances of entering the Ancestral Realm Core are high," Li Yuan said earnestly.

Li Yuan was telling the truth.

Fighting three to five top-tier Demigods, Li Yuan had some confidence… but against ten or twenty? He would be overwhelmed.

Liu Bing gritted her teeth, but reason told her that escaping first was the right move.

Though it seemed slow, the exchange between Li Yuan and Liu Bing was instantaneous.

"Boom!"

"Rumble!" The terrifying Heaven and Earth River Domain surged towards the six top-tier Demigods, its power overwhelming, causing them all to feel an intense pressure.

"Such a powerful domain," Moonblade's expression changed.

"So strong?" The muscular man and the young man in the starry robe also changed their expressions.

"Xu Yuan's domain is even stronger than before."

"Has his strength broken through again?" CloudPainter, Knife Eagle, and Yu Ting, who had previously fought Li Yuan, were even more surprised.

They knew Li Yuan's domain was already very strong, but it had become even more powerful.

What they didn't know was that Li Yuan's breakthrough in gun technique was a fundamental breakthrough in the integration of three laws… a realm breakthrough that naturally made his domain, escape technique, and other aspects even stronger.

"One thought."

"Painting World, Open!" The exquisite woman 'CloudPainter' moved, her white, jade-like palms spreading out, instantly creating a series of illusory scenes around them.

The illusions were incredibly realistic.

In an instant, the world where the eight great powers—Li Yuan, Liu Bing, Moonblade, and the others—were located, unfolded like a beautiful scroll.

This Painting World could influence space, thereby affecting Li Yuan's domain. The power of Li Yuan's Heaven and Earth River Domain visibly diminished.

"Hmm?"

"Secret technique of the Spatial Domain? Indeed formidable!" Li Yuan thought.

This was the second time he had fought CloudPainter, and he was well aware of her unique abilities.

Li Yuan knew that below the True Deity level, domains were generally 'Material Domains.'

But as cultivation progressed, domains often fell into three categories.

One was the Material Domain, like the Heaven and Earth River, which was performed in normal space with matter as its foundation. When its power was at its peak, it could sweep everything away, but it had to follow the laws of real matter. Most experts had this type of domain.

There are three types of domains. One is the Illusory Domain, like the 'Dreamstone' that Li Yuan is refining. When cultivated to the extreme, it can reach a vast expanse of a hundred million miles, and with a single thought, one can surpass the speed of light. However, it is illusory and only influences the minds of countless living beings, making it difficult to affect reality.

The last type is the Spatial Domain Realm.

The 'Painting Realm' that Huazhong Yun is displaying belongs to the Spatial Domain Realm. It is a part of the Spatial Law, capable of influencing the Illusory Domain and the Material Domain... It is completely integrated into the space.

Of course, the 'Painting Realm' that Huazhong Yun is displaying hasn't reached the level of influencing the Illusory Domain, but it has already penetrated the Spatial Realm, allowing it to coexist with Li Yuan's 'Heavens and Earth River Domain'. This prevents Li Yuan's domain from erasing the existence of the Painting Realm, and it can also actively erupt, colliding and dissipating with Li Yuan's domain.

The Ancestral Realm Battle continues.

As Li Yuan fights with one top-notch Demigod after another, he finds that Huazhong Yun's domain techniques are the most unique he has ever seen.

"Divine Lotus!"

As soon as Huazhong Yun unleashes her domain, Yu Ting also takes action. Lotus flowers bloom in the void, emitting radiant light, clashing madly with the Heavens and Earth River Domain.

For a moment, Huazhong Yun and Yu Ting, working together, manage to hold their own against Li Yuan in terms of domains.

"The world is vast."

"Everyone has different methods. Even if I'm a Ninth Rank Domain Star Technique user, some top-notch Demigods working together can be just as formidable as me." Li Yuan thought to himself, never daring to underestimate any opponent.

Although the domain hasn't achieved victory, Li Yuan doesn't waver.

When fighting these top-notch Demigods, the domain is only an auxiliary method. He still has to rely on the spear in his hands to battle.

Boom! Li Yuan unleashes the 'Void Traverse', his speed skyrocketing to a terrifying level as he charges straight towards the Eagle Blade Demigod.

Whoosh! Liu Bing quickly follows, intending to break out of the encirclement by following Li Yuan's path.

"Make your move!" The Moon Saber finally gives the order.

Boom! The burly man and the Star Robe youth beside him move simultaneously.

The Star Robe youth waves his hand, and a massive moon appears behind him. As the moon blossoms, it shoots out dazzling starlight.

The starlight is like a lock, capable of restraining the heavens.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! The starlight moves at an astonishing speed, slicing through the void. An invisible pulling force seems to guide it, instantly landing on Li Yuan and Liu Bing, sharply reducing their speed, making it impossible for them to escape.

"The Binding Star Technique, 'Star and Moon Light'?" Li Yuan's pupils constrict slightly, surprised.

Star Techniques have various classifications: refining, body cultivation, domains, escape techniques, illusory bodies, and more. Top-notch geniuses, considering their future paths, mostly avoid the less popular Ninth Rank Star Techniques.

Binding Star Techniques? Few strong cultivators practice them, as Star Meridians are limited, and divine artifacts can easily replace them.

But similarly!

Once unleashed, these Ninth Rank Star Techniques are incredibly formidable. They are like a beam of light, with binding power far surpassing that of divine artifact chains, and impossible to escape.

"No wonder she dares to say that Bing can't escape."

"Yu Ting's domain, Huazhong Yun's Painting Realm, and Zhan Xing's Binding Star Technique... Together, they are indeed troublesome." Li Yuan realizes the strength of his opponents.

These six top-notch Demigods, each specializing in a different Star Technique, are far more threatening than six Demigods who only excel in body cultivation, charging head-on.

"Kill!" Yu Ting maintains her domain while swinging her saber, blocking Liu Bing's path.

Yu Ting's speed is astonishing, and her saber technique has completely transformed, flowing like a stream, completely entangling Liu Bing, who is restrained by the starlight.

Liu Bing's specialty is her escape technique speed.

Unfortunately, Zhan Xing's Star Technique completely counters her.

Boom! Boom! Boom! As the two sides clash like lightning, Liu Bing is completely entangled.

"Kill!" Eagle Blade's eyes gleam like an eagle's, transforming into a beam of light as he slashes the void, fiercely striking the figure charging towards him—Li Yuan.

"Get lost!"

Even though Li Yuan is pressured and bound by the starlight, his speed remains terrifying. His silver moon spear sweeps and slashes fiercely.

Bang! The spear slashes through the sky, colliding directly with the saber.

Eagle Blade's expression changes instantly.

He feels an overwhelming force approaching, causing him to involuntarily retreat, as Li Yuan suppresses him.

"So strong?"

"This impact is much stronger than our previous encounter." Eagle Blade finds it hard to believe, sending a sound transmission: "Be careful, Xu Yuan's strength is far beyond what the intelligence suggested."

Boom! The burly man, the Shaman Qeng Demigod, also steps forward, blocking Li Yuan's path. His weapon is an ancient bronze spear, emitting an ancient aura.

Whoosh! The spear tears through heaven and earth, slamming into Li Yuan.

"Go!"

Li Yuan's spear glows with spear shadows, clashing with the spear, sending the burly man flying again.

"Kill!" Huazhong Yun maintains her Painting Realm while her body transforms into four arms, each palm emitting a green glow. The four arms strike out, transforming into beams of light that charge towards Li Yuan.

Whoosh! Li Yuan, having just sent the Shaman Qeng Demigod flying, turns back and stabs with his spear, slightly twisting the spear tip.

As the spear tip clashes with the green palm, it erupts instantly, tearing through the palm. The beautiful girl's face changes slightly as she is drenched in blood.

Her head-on combat is much weaker, and she quickly retreats.

Meanwhile, Eagle Blade and Shaman Qeng take large strides to engage Li Yuan again, clashing fiercely. Only then do they manage to withstand Li Yuan's attacks.

"Too heaven-defying!"

"Has his head-on combat strength become so powerful?"

"Even with his domain advantage neutralized, he's still this terrifying?" These world-class geniuses from the Ten Thousand Dao Divine Court are stunned.

With Huazhong Yun, Eagle Blade, and Shaman Qeng, three top-notch Demigods working together, they are still suppressed by Li Yuan alone."

Li Yuan moves, and like lightning, he charges towards the Star Robe man, Zhan Xing.

Li Yuan has realized that the key to ensuring his and Liu Bing's escape is to defeat Zhan Xing, the user of the Binding Star Technique.

The Ninth Rank Star Technique, 'Star and Moon Light', poses an overwhelming binding threat, almost impossible to overcome.

"Xu Yuan."

"Your opponent is me." The dirty girl, who had been holding her saber, finally moves.

Clang! The saber in her embrace unsheathes, unleashing a vast blood light. It's as if she's slicing through the entire world, aiming at Li Yuan.
