Chapter 470: One Thought to Subdue the Ten Directions! Ancestral Realm Core



"This Moon Saber, truly worthy of being the strongest among this group, not only did she regain consciousness the fastest, but her escape was also the quickest."

As Li Yuan just waved his hand to retrieve the treasure left by Hua Zhong Yun, he sensed the actions of the Moon Saber Demigod.

She escaped too fast.

Even faster than her knife technique.

If the Moon Saber Demigod hadn't used the Ancestral Realm Token to flee, Li Yuan would have dealt with her next... Although using the same moves against the same powerful opponent would gradually weaken in effect.

However, Li Yuan was also confident that he could defeat her before she could fully defend herself.

But since the opponent decisively chose to escape, Li Yuan could do nothing.

Such are the rules of the Ancestral Realm.

"Little Bing, let's go. It's time to eliminate the next one." Li Yuan transmitted his voice and transformed into a stream of light, flying towards Yu Ting, who held a battle spear.

Yu Ting was still immersed in the Soul Illusion.

Boom! Li Yuan and Liu Bing transformed into streams of light, swiftly approaching Yu Ting. The two of them attacked simultaneously, unleashing a ferocious assault that bombarded Yu Ting's body. In just two seconds, they extinguished his life force.

Yu Ting, dead!

This was the terror of Soul Attacks.

If the gap between opponents was significant, even without the ability to directly annihilate the soul, they could still trap their opponent in layers of illusions and then utilize material attacks to eliminate them.

Thus, among the six top-tier Demigods, only the Eagle Blade Demigod and Wu Qing Demigod remained alive.

Li Yuan and Liu Bing had consecutively killed three top-tier Demigods, and it had taken them a long time.

Buzz!

The Eagle Blade Demigod and Wu Qing Demigod, almost one after the other, regained consciousness and became alert.

Their eyes were filled with terror.

"How long have we been trapped in the Soul Illusion?"

"Where are the others?"

"Are they all dead?"

They were shocked by the experiences they had just gone through.

Too terrifying.

In the same tier, one side's soul attack could trap the other for so long, and the distance to direct soul annihilation seemed not far.

Thinking of Li Yuan's terrifying speed, domains, and material attacks... The two of them had no desire to fight.

"Escape!"

"Let's just activate the Ancestral Realm Token and leave." As they regained consciousness, they immediately activated their tokens and vanished.

The void finally quieted down.

"Big brother, they are indeed very decisive." Liu Bing spoke softly.

"Their escape was indeed swift." Li Yuan nodded, "They must have been prepared. Unless we could make them fall into the Soul Illusion instantly... We couldn't stop them from escaping, as they just needed a moment to activate their tokens."

If it were in the outside world, Li Yuan's strength might have allowed him to slaughter them all.

But within the Ancestral Realm...

Being able to kill three Demigods was already an impressive feat.

"Little Bing, let's go." Li Yuan spoke softly, "Although we don't need to create more karma, there's no need to continue."

"Okay." Liu Bing agreed, "Big brother, get on my back, let's go."

Boom! Liu Bing's body expanded slightly, while Li Yuan returned to his normal height and landed on Liu Bing's back.

Whoosh! Liu Bing's wings unfurled, and she transformed into a radiant green light, her speed rapidly increasing as she burst out of the already dimming red cloud mist array.

Without the guidance of the Heavenly Sovereign Demigod, the array's power had weakened, and it couldn't stop Liu Bing.

"Liu Bing and Li Yuan have flown out of the array."

"What about the Moon Saber, Yu Ting, and the other six? None of them came out, were they all defeated?"

Some of the Eastern Abyss Holy Land Demigods, who had survived Li Yuan's previous attacks, were still observing from a distance, their hearts filled with fear.

The array continued to envelop the area.

Therefore, they couldn't see the battle between Li Yuan, the Moon Saber, the CloudPainter, Yu Ting, and others, but they could sense the tremors in the earth.

However, from the outcome, they realized that all eight top-tier Demigods who dared to charge into the red cloud mist had been defeated...

Thinking about Li Yuan's terrifying speed, domains, and material attacks, none of them had the desire to fight.

"Escape!"

"Let's just activate the Ancestral Realm Token and leave." As they regained consciousness, they immediately activated their tokens and vanished.

The void finally quieted down.

"Big brother, they are indeed very decisive." Liu Bing spoke softly.

"Their escape was indeed swift." Li Yuan nodded, "They must have been prepared. Unless we could make them fall into the Soul Illusion instantly... We couldn't stop them from escaping, as they just needed a moment to activate their tokens."

Whoosh! Liu Bing's wings unfurled, and she transformed into a radiant green light, her speed rapidly increasing as she burst out of the already dimming red cloud mist array.

Without the guidance of the Heavenly Sovereign Demigod, the array's power had weakened, and it couldn't stop Liu Bing.

"Liu Bing and Li Yuan have flown out of the array."

"Liu Bing and Li Yuan have flown out of the array."

"What about the Moon Saber, Yu Ting, and the other six? None of them came out, were they all defeated?"

Some of the Eastern Abyss Holy Land Demigonic Breakfast:

The eleven Heaven Deities' consciousness descended upon this place.

For the Heaven Deities, it was a simple matter to perceive the entire Ancestral Realm... Even with the influence of the array, the Heaven Deities could roughly see the battle between Li Yuan, the Moon Saber, the CloudPainter, Yu Ting, and others.

"It should be the Illusory Domain."

"How is it possible for Xu Yuan to have created a Mind Illusionary Realm? He's still so young."

"I know he has a formidable Soul Will, but he's only a Demi-God. How could he possibly create a Mind Illusionary Realm?" The Dragon River Heaven Deity and the Northern Heaven Deity felt it was inconceivable.

Mind Illusionary Realms were not uncommon; every True God possessed one.

But for a True God to possess one and a Demi-God to create one were two entirely different concepts, much like how the Seven Star Vein Source Martialists and the Seven Star Vein Demi-Gods held completely different meanings.

Upon further thought, when they considered Li Yuan's suspected Nine Star Vein and his short cultivation period, various thoughts and even a hint of murderous intent emerged in the hearts of these Heaven Deities.

The threat was too great.

Under normal circumstances, Heaven Deities would absolutely look down upon Demi-Gods, as not even one Heaven Deity had emerged from the billions of Demi-Gods... But now, they all felt threatened.

If anyone were to say that Li Yuan couldn't become a Heaven Deity, the Heaven Deities present would not believe it.

In the billions of years on this Celestial Star Continent, there had probably never been a Demi-God more monstrous than Xu Yuan.

"Vast Wanderer, Qing Hong."

Dong Jun suddenly spoke, "It seems that Xu Yuan and Liu Bing are acquainted and have an extremely close relationship. Liu Bing even allowed Xu Yuan to ride her... We had no idea about this relationship, and your two families have kept it well hidden."

The Vast Wanderer Heaven Deity and the Qing Hong Heaven Deity furrowed their brows simultaneously.

They could all hear the hidden meaning in Dong Jun's words.

"Dong Jun, it's the younger generation's freedom to interact with each other. Do I need to ask about every little thing? I know Xu Yuan killed your Eastern Abyss Sacred Land Demi-God, and you hold a grudge against him." The Vast Wanderer Heaven Deity said indifferently.

"But the Ancestral Realm rules are what they are."

"If you have the ability, go cause trouble for the Overseer. No one's stopping you." The Vast Wanderer Heaven Deity glanced at him.

Dong Jun was momentarily stunned.

Cause trouble for the Overseer? How dare he?

"Hmph!" Dong Jun humphed and said no more.

Suddenly,

"This Xu Yuan, he's quite kind to my Green Mist Holy Land's team, sparing them from slaughter." The Moon Xia Heaven Deity suddenly smiled.

All the Heaven Deities witnessed this clearly.

Within the Ancestral Realm, not long after Li Yuan and Liu Bing left the grand formation, they encountered another team of over a hundred Demi-Gods.

It was the Green Mist Holy Land's team.

But with just a thought from Li Yuan, nearly two hundred Demi-Gods were plunged into an illusory realm... Yet, he didn't slaughter them.

Time passed.

Not only the Green Mist Holy Land's team, but also the Southern River Holy Land, Dragon River Holy Land, Light Frost Holy Land... Whether it was powerful Demi-Gods working together or large numbers of Demi-Gods forming a grand team,

Whenever they encountered,

Li Yuan and Liu Bing would either directly avoid them with their speed or be plunged into an illusory realm by Li Yuan's soul attack.

But there was no more slaughter.

Only the Demi-Gods from two forces remained—Evergreen Ancient City and Eastern Abyss Sacred Land!!

Once these two forces' Demi-Gods were recognized by Li Yuan,

Whenever they encountered them, they were all killed, leaving none alive.

"Dong Jun, Northern Heaven." The Moon Xia Heaven Deity smiled, "I've figured it out. Xu Yuan is indeed kind... But you two forces have also angered him."

"Slaughtering them."

"How ruthless!"

Dong Jun, the Northern Heaven Deity, and the Si Kun Heaven Deity all had unsightly expressions, yet they were helpless.

At this moment in the Ancestral Realm, with Li Yuan's strength, he was absolutely invincible! Just as the Moonblade Demi-God had believed, even if thousands of other Demi-Gods came together, they would probably only face slaughter.

...

If the news of Xu Yuan and Liu Bing joining forces to defeat and kill the eight top-tier Demi-Gods hadn't spread,

What followed immediately after was Li Yuan revealing his terrifying soul attack, causing the entire Ancestral Realm to boil with excitement.

It was too frightening.

Regardless of the strength of the opponent, whether it was Jiang Shan's level, Bai Feng Xia Ju's level, or even the Dong Pan Demi-God's level of world-class geniuses... Without exception, under Li Yuan's soul attack, they all fell into an illusory realm.

The most shocking thing,

Was when Li Yuan encountered the Evergreen Ancient City's team and instantly killed over a hundred Demi-Gods... It was terrifying to the extreme.

"Xu Yuan!!"

"His soul attack is too heaven-defying, it's simply unmatched. Even a Demi-God at the Ethereal Deity Level couldn't withstand it."

"The others were also annihilated with a single thought."

"I heard from a Demi-God of the Eastern Abyss Sacred Land that Moonblade, CloudPainter, Yu Ting, and the other five were defeated by Xu Yuan alone."

A large amount of information was being frantically spread.

His reputation was forged!

If it was previously the first on the ranking, it only made his fame more prominent, and his strength was considered to have the potential to rank first in the Ancestral Realm War... After this series of battles and clashes,

Xu Yuan's reputation soared to a terrifying level.

Suddenly,

"Ning Chi and the Madman just teamed up against Xu Yuan, but they were still defeated by Xu Yuan. This time, Xu Yuan crushed them with his material attack... He's absolutely invincible." Another explosive piece of news spread.

There was no more dispute.

All the Demi-Gods, all the teams, at this moment, gave up the competition for the first Ancestral Realm Token.

There was not a shred of hope.

Such a Demi-God!

His flying speed was second only to the Sacred Blood Sky Serpent Liu Bing, and Liu Bing was his teammate.

His material attack was unparalleled in the Ancestral Realm War.

His soul attack was equally so.

He was also skilled in domains and illusory bodies... He was almost a perfect Demi-God, without any flaws.

Undisputed Strongest! Far surpassing all Demigods from the Ancestral Realm War!

...

In the Ancestral Realm, on a solitary mountain.

The mountain was rather desolate.

Li Yuan and Liu Bing were meditating at the summit, silently recovering their Source Power and Soul Power.

No one dared to pursue them anymore.

"Big brother, why did you let Ning Chi and Madman go just now?" Liu Bing asked through sound transmission.

She was well aware of her brother's temperament.

The more they fought on equal footing, the less likely he would hold back, and when it was time to strike, he would do so without hesitation.

But in the recent battle with Ning Chi and Madman, he allowed them to retreat safely after their defeat.

"Because they are Gold Robe members of the Chaos Divine Court," Li Yuan replied through sound transmission.

Liu Bing stared at him with widened eyes.

"The ones we killed earlier, Yu Ting, Zhan Xing, and their teammates, are all Thousand Star members of the Ten Thousand Dao Divine Court," Li Yuan continued through soul transmission.

Li Yuan had already suspected this earlier.

After obtaining the treasures left behind by CloudPainter, Yu Ting, and the others, Li Yuan quickly gathered related intelligence, verifying some of his suspicions.

Additionally, according to Li Yuan's knowledge, Ning Chi and Madman had previously fought against Yu Ting and Dao Ying... Therefore, Li Yuan boldly guessed that Ning Chi and the others probably didn't belong to the Ten Thousand Dao Divine Court but were from another major power.

Li Yuan still remembered the fleeting look of surprise in Ning Chi's eyes when he asked about their identity.

In the end, Ning Chi voluntarily confessed his identity during the sound transmission conversation, and Li Yuan let them go.

"We will eventually go to the Chaos Divine Court," Li Yuan transmitted, "Although killing them wouldn't be a big deal, there's also no great benefit. Their master or elders might be powerful figures within the Divine Court."

"Leave a thread of hope for the future," Li Yuan added, "After all, they pose no threat to us."

Liu Bing nodded in agreement, "Big brother, you've thought it through."

...

In another region of the Ancestral Realm, about 100,000 kilometers away from Li Yuan and Liu Bing's location.

Two figures moved at a slow pace.

"He let us go?" Madman couldn't help but ask, "His strength is far greater than when I first fought him."

Madman was tall and muscular, gripping two massive hammers in his hands.

"It's terrifying!"

"The rumors about Moonblade, Yu Ting, and the others are true," Ning Chi said, no longer lazy but solemn, "Li Yuan did sweep them away, killing three of them, and the other three have already left the Ancestral Realm."

"How do you know?" Madman was taken aback.

"He transmitted this to me during our fight," Ning Chi explained.

"And you think he's lying?" Madman asked, unable to contain his disbelief.

"You call me stupid on regular days, but you don't believe me now?" Ning Chi glanced at Madman, "With Li Yuan's strength, do you think it's difficult for him to defeat Moonblade and the others? Why would he need to deceive us?"

Madman was dumbfounded.

"Li Yuan probably let us go because we're related to the Chaos Divine Court," Ning Chi whispered.

"How does he know?" Madman asked, surprised.

"Do you think everyone else is an idiot? These local Demigods will naturally have their suspicions," Ning Chi shook her head, "Moreover, I have a hunch that Li Yuan might also have a connection to our Chaos Divine Court."

"Impossible, he's just a local..." Madman trailed off, realizing something, "Unless... he's a core member from the outside?"

Ning Chi nodded in agreement.

They were both core members of the Chaos Divine Court and knew some secrets... Most of the Chaos Divine Court's Gold Robe members rose through the ranks from Black Robe, Silver Robe, and Gold Robe systems.

But there were a few exceptions.

"Remember the new Purple Robe member who entered this small realm before us?" Ning Chi asked quietly.

"You mean Dong Fang Ji?" Madman replied, "I've only met him once. Rumor has it that his Law talent is astonishing, and he directly became a disciple of a powerful overlord."

The Chaos Divine Court's territory was vast and expansive, with numerous Heaven Deities under its banner.

These overlords were the strongest among Heaven Deities and were considered overlords within the Divine Realm.

"The Divine Court headquarters has only a few dozen Purple Robe members," Madman sighed, "Either they are Nine-Star Meridians or the very best Eight-Star Meridians."

"So Dong Fang Ji is a Gold Robe member from the outside, but why did he come to our Divine Court?" Ning Chi asked.

Clearly, Ning Chi knew more secrets.

Madman had already realized this.

"You mean Li Yuan might be like Dong Fang Ji?" Madman asked.

"We can now descend upon this small realm," Ning Chi said, "Naturally, the strong figures of this small realm are under the control of that great existence in the Divine Court's history."

"Even if Li Yuan doesn't have a status now..."

"But if the Divine Court headquarters learns about Li Yuan's peerless genius, they might try to recruit him."

Madman nodded in deep agreement.

"What about us?" Madman asked.

"Wait," Ning Chi spread her hands, "If we can't compete with Li Yuan, how can we compete with other local Demigods?"

...

Soon after, at the solitary mountain.

"Big brother, I've received the guidance," Liu Bing showed a hint of joy, "Big brother, I'll wait for you at the core of the Ancestral Realm."

"Okay." Li Yuan nodded.

Silently and effortlessly, Liu Bing disappeared from the mountain.

"The soul resonance with Xiao Bing is becoming more and more blurred." Li Yuan thought to himself, "I can't sense the guidance of the Ancestral Realm Token's aura either."

Liu Bing disappeared.

All the Demigods in the Ancestral Realm knew that the first Ancestral Realm Token had already been claimed.

Everyone was waiting for the second Ancestral Realm Token to appear.

A moment later—

Hua!

A flash of light appeared in the heavens and earth, and thousands of Demigods in the Ancestral Realm 'saw' it.

A purple token exuding endless mysteries hovered in the air, appearing out of thin air on a mountain peak.

Beside the token, a man in black sat.

"Is it Xu Yuan?"

"The second Ancestral Realm Token has appeared next to Xu Yuan?" All the powerful Demigods saw it clearly.

For a moment, thousands of Demigods in the Ancestral Realm were unsure whether to feel annoyed or relieved.

There was only one thing.

Not a single Demigod had the thought of fighting for it... All of them had the same idea.

As the day passed, they hurried to compete for the next Ancestral Realm Token.

...

In the sky above the Ancestral Realm.

"Haha, this Ancestral Realm Token appeared directly next to Xu Yuan. Is it luck, or did the Overseer secretly guide it?"

"It's hard to say."

"It seems Xu Yuan has disrupted the balance of the Ancestral Realm battlefield." Several Heaven Deities showed a smile.

Only Tai You Heaven Deity and Zhuang Hong Heaven Deity felt a bit helpless.

They had originally hoped that Li Yuan could help the Celestial Star City's powerful beings to obtain more Ancestral Realm Tokens... But now it seemed their plan had fallen through.

"It's fine."

"We were too greedy." Tai You Heaven Deity quickly regained his composure and said softly, "The Ancestral Realm War involves the layout of the Ancestor, and it's meant to select the most outstanding genius."

"Let everything unfold naturally."

"It's good that Xu Yuan got it early, preventing any more delays." Jiang Yuan Heaven Deity also spoke.

...

On that solitary mountain in the Ancestral Realm.

"The first one was given to Xiao Bing, probably randomly. Her point ranking is also very high." Li Yuan looked at the Ancestral Realm Token before him, feeling a hint of surprise.

"But this second one? Directly given to me?" In the depths of his mind, Li Yuan had a feeling that the second Ancestral Realm Token was intentionally given to him by the will behind the Ancestral Realm.

"Don't they want me to get involved in the later Ancestral Realm Token disputes?" A thought flashed through Li Yuan's mind.

After all, if Li Yuan was willing, he could easily obtain the previous six or seven Ancestral Realm Tokens and then hand them over to Jing Kui, Yue Shan, and the other Celestial Star City Demigods.

But doing so would probably go against the original intention of the Ancestral Realm War.

"Luck?"

"If one's strength is powerful enough, luck is useless." Li Yuan had a new understanding: "Even if a Demigod's luck is higher than mine, under the rules of the Ancestral Realm War, it's almost impossible for them to obtain the Ancestral Realm Token."

"But me."

"I can't go against the will behind the Ancestral Realm."

Li Yuan waved his hand and collected the Ancestral Realm Token.

Boom! Immediately, all the Demigods in the Ancestral Realm received guidance and knew the location and owner of the Ancestral Realm Token.

But no one came forward.

All the Demigods had already acknowledged that this Ancestral Realm Token belonged to Li Yuan.

One day later.

Vibrations filled the air as Li Yuan received a message from the depths of his mind. With a thought, he disappeared from the solitary mountain.

"That troublemaker finally left."

"Xu Yuan is gone, and that's great!"

"Finally, we can focus on competing for the third Ancestral Realm Token." All the Demigods breathed a sigh of relief.

Ning Chi, Ao Feng, and some of the top Demigods showed helplessness... Before joining the Ancestral Realm War, they all believed in their own strength to dominate the Ancestral Realm.

They never expected there would be a day when they had to wait for someone else to enter the core of the Ancestral Realm.

Xu Yuan!! All the participating Demigods remembered this name.

...

Hua!

Li Yuan only felt a slight tremor in the void, and he found himself in a mysterious place.

The surroundings were a dazzling starry sky, adorned with countless stars.

Li Yuan stood at the edge of a beautiful island, on a stone path.

With Li Yuan's spatial senses, the entire floating island wasn't very large, probably just a few dozen kilometers. But it had mountains, waterfalls, and many palaces that were partially hidden, creating a stunning sight.

"Hmm?" Li Yuan sensed something unusual. Under the suppression of an invisible force, he couldn't use his origin power.

He couldn't even sense the existence of the Wind Law or Earth Law, as if they were completely sealed.

He could only sense the existence of the Space Law's origin, but he couldn't manipulate it either...

At this moment, in this place, Li Yuan's perception ability was the only thing that made him different from an ordinary person.

"Where is this place? Is this the core of the Ancestral Realm? Where is Xiao Bing?" Numerous thoughts flashed through Li Yuan's mind.

Suddenly—

Huala!

Ripples in space and time appeared, and a woman in white walked out from the end of the stone path.

The woman in white had a smile on her face, exuding an invisible charm that made others feel captivated.

"Congratulations, you've passed the Ancestral Realm's test." The woman in white smiled and said, "This is the Divine Emperor's Island, the residence of the Divine Emperor... You are the third Demigod to reach the Divine Emperor's Island in three billion years."

"I hope you can become the first person to meet the Divine Emperor's requirements."
