Chapter 502: It's Your Fault! I've Met Li Yuan Divine Son (9K) (Part 1)





Wanlong City, a bustling metropolis, had numerous majestic temples floating in the sky.

These temples were concealed by arrays, shrouded in clouds and mist.

Inside one of the grand temples, a massive white-furred beast with a tail longer than half its body lay sprawled out, fast asleep.

When deities were alone, they often preferred to reveal their true forms, feeling unconstrained.

"Ancestor! Ancestor!" A hurried voice suddenly sounded beside the beast, and a white-robed figure materialized.

"What is it?" A deep voice resonated within the temple, but the white-furred beast kept its eyes closed.

"Ancestor, Jinxin Ethereal Immortal just sent a message, saying he encountered an external threat and hopes for your help," the white-robed figure said. "He also mentioned that if the threat is eliminated, he can offer you 300,000 square divine crystals as a gift."

"Ancestor, should we help him?" The white-robed figure asked eagerly.

Ethereal Immortals at their peak would normally possess wealth of around one million square divine crystals, accumulated over thousands of years.

Thirty thousand square divine crystals were enough to attract an Ethereal Immortal at their peak to risk their life.

"You fool! What did you say to him, and what did you get in return?" The deep voice carried a hint of coldness.

"Ancestor, me?" The white-robed figure was startled, wondering how the Ancestor knew.

"Stupid!"

"If there's truly an external threat, Jinxin would have sent a message to the Garrison Army in the Kunli Star System long ago. Why come to me?" The deep voice continued, "He probably secretly ambushed passing Ethereal Immortals, but got into trouble and couldn't capture them. Now he's afraid to report to the Garrison Army, so he came to me?"

"Ambushing passing Ethereal Immortals?" The white-robed figure was shocked. How did the Ancestor know?

Jinxin had only been around for a hundred years, and his actions were always extremely secretive.

"In Wanlong City, what don't I know?" The deep voice asked, "Did you just deliver the message, or did you participate in the ambush?"

"No, Ancestor, I dare not," the white-robed figure replied hastily.

"Pass on the message, no one is allowed to participate in the battle... If you get involved now, it's like asking for death." The white-furred beast said coldly, "If that Golden-furred one can suppress them, it's his ability. If he can't, then the True Immortal backing him should be on his way."

"A True Immortal?" The white-robed figure was even more surprised.

"Fool!" The white-furred beast finally opened its eyes, and they shone with a golden light, chillingly cold. "Without a True Immortal backing him, how dare a peak Ethereal Immortal like the Golden-furred one act so arrogantly? And to ambush passing Ethereal Immortals?"

"Hmph!"

"Every time the Garrison Array is activated, it's under his control. How can he erase the activation records? The core of the array isn't completely under his control," the white-furred beast said in a deep voice.

"If the True Immortal behind this arrives, all participants will likely be eliminated."

"Ancestor, can we hide on the planet and be spared?" The white-robed figure was already scared.

The power of True Immortals far surpassed that of Ethereal Immortals.

Even Ethereal Immortals at their peak would find it difficult to withstand a single attack from a True Immortal.

"Don't be afraid!"

"Ancestor, I'm a silver-robed member of the Divine Court," the white-furred beast said coldly. "As long as I don't participate, the several True Immortals in the Kunli Star System will still give me some face."

"In any case, if you don't participate, just say I'm in closed-door cultivation," the white-furred beast instructed.

"Yes, Ancestor," the white-robed figure replied.

...

In the starry sky, a vast area spanning tens of thousands of miles was enveloped by a massive array.

"Star Master, what's the news? Will Wanlong City's Ancestor come to help us?"

"He's an Ethereal Immortal at his peak."

"He's also a silver-robed member of the Divine Court, so he must have many treasures."

"If he's willing to help us, we can definitely capture them," the other Ethereal Immortal soldiers messaged the golden-robed man.

Wanlong City was a second-tier planet and the core of numerous surrounding planets primarily because of the 'Wanlong Ethereal Immortal'.

Within the Chaos Divine Court, members were divided into four ranks below the Sky Deities.

Demigods were ranked based on their innate talent.

As for Ethereal Immortals and True Immortals, most were ranked based on their strength. Black-robed members and silver-robed members were usually Ethereal Immortals.

Golden-robed members and purple-robed members were generally True Immortals.

Although silver-robed members were insignificant at the Chaos Divine Court headquarters, they were extremely rare in the Kunli Star System.

"Stop calling."

"Wanlong City has sent a message saying they don't want to come. They said that since we're facing an invasion, we should just send a message to the Garrison Army," the golden-robed man said, his eyes also turning red.

"What?"

"Send a message to the Garrison Army?" These Ethereal Immortals felt like vomiting blood. How dare they send a message?

"Star Master, what should we do?"

"There are only two Thunder Fire Dragons left, and it won't be long before the sword-wielding Ethereal Immortal arrives," the Ethereal Immortals said anxiously.

There was no choice; with Li Yuan's domain enhancement, Zhuang Long fought ferociously.

Even with the array's power condensed, creating another Thunder Fire Dragon, it was still killed, leaving only two.

"True Immortal, please come quickly," the golden-robed man, who was alone, said anxiously.

But he also knew that the Divine Realm was vast, and teleportation arrays required time to cross the endless starry sky.

If two places were separated by billions of light-years, how could they arrive instantly? It was impossible! The farther the distance, the longer the teleportation took.

The higher-level the teleportation array, the less time it took, but the more difficult it was to set up... This was the terrifying aspect of the Starlight Divine Court.

Even if they were in different star systems, they could still reach each other within a very short time through the Starlight Ancient City.

"The galaxy teleportation array can transmit a distance of approximately 100 light-years in one second," the golden-robed man thought. "From the Blood Star, it's about 4,000 light-years away."

In other words, it would take at least 40 seconds for a True Immortal to arrive!

Forty seconds didn't seem like a long time.

But for Ethereal Immortals, a single second was enough for dozens or even hundreds of exchanges.

"Hiyah!"

"Black Radiance Dragon!" Zhuang Long, who was originally entangled with two Thunder Fire Dragons, suddenly burst into action. His four saber lights swept across horizontally.

Finally, he unleashed his ultimate move!

"Although this move hasn't reached the level of a True Immortal, the alternating rhythm already carries the essence of a True Immortal-level secret art," Zhuang Long, the Ethereal Immortal, said ferociously.

The surrounding space twisted and shattered, and four dazzling saber lights resembled four black divine dragons roaring, causing faint cracks to appear in the surrounding void, indicating the power was already very close to the True Immortal level.

With a might surpassing his previous display of sword techniques, the two Thunder Fire Dragons had no time to evade and were sliced apart by the twin blades of light. Their massive bodies began to crumble and collapse under the onslaught.

In just one exchange, the two Thunder Fire Dragons were directly executed by Zhuang Long.

"Impressive secret art," Li Yuan marveled. "The profound integration of the Law of Fire and Spatial Law has reached near-True God levels, akin to the standards of the Ancestral Realm."

This level of swordplay was already at the pinnacle among Ethereal Immortals.

"I wonder how old this Zhuang Long is. If he's not even two thousand years old, he has the potential to reach the True Immortal stage," Li Yuan commented.

Li Yuan remained relaxed, only assisting Zhuang Long from behind with his domain.

Whoosh!

"Brother Xu Yuan, capture him!" Zhuang Long, his body like a blazing fire, soared into the sky, ignoring the overwhelming thunderous light and lightning, and charged towards one of the temples.

Both Li Yuan and Zhuang Long had a clear view of the scene.

The massive array's cornerstone, these twelve temples... especially this central temple, Li Yuan's True Immortal-level divine perception allowed him to silently infiltrate their interiors, though he couldn't do so without a trace.

He could roughly sense that these temples housed Ethereal Immortals.

By suppressing these temples, the array would naturally be broken.

... In the face of Zhuang Long's outburst, the twelve garrison Ethereal Immortals were thoroughly terrified.

"In just one exchange, he annihilated two Thunder Fire Dragons."

"Why didn't he display such formidable power before?"

"We can't hold him back."

"Star Master, without the Thunder Fire Dragons, we're no match. This guy is an absolute powerhouse among Ethereal Immortals." They hurriedly communicated.

Just then, the other eleven Ethereal Immortals, through the temples, witnessed the same scene.

The central temple, the array's core hub, suddenly opened its doors.

Whoosh! The golden-robed figure soared into the sky, rushing out of the array.

The golden-haired Ethereal Immortal was the first to flee!!

"Damn it!"

"The Star Master escaped?"

"We should flee too." The other Ethereal Immortals panicked, immediately taking flight.

Boom! Zhuang Long arrived at the first temple, his speed reaching nearly two hundred kilometers per hour, as he unleashed his divine perception and charged towards the Ethereal Immortal who had just escaped.

"Surrender or be captured!" Zhuang Long roared, extending his large hand.

"Spare me! Spare me!" This Ethereal Immortal, only at the middle stage, was terrified, too scared to resist.

Whoosh!

Zhuang Long's large hand reached out, the surrounding lightning layers vanishing as he grabbed the Ethereal Immortal.

"Lu Feng has been captured."

"Run! That sword-wielding Ethereal Immortal can't catch us all."

"Our temples are already spaced thousands of kilometers apart." The other Ethereal Immortals, seeing this, fled with even greater desperation.

Their flight speeds were exceptionally fast, each heading in different directions, further triggering the array's lightning to conceal their figures.

Indeed, as they had anticipated.

Zhuang Long's strength was formidable, but he was still just an Ethereal Immortal. It was impossible for him to capture them all simultaneously.

"If we don't capture them, they'll escape the array's range." Zhuang Long frowned, communicating: "Brother Xu Yuan, focus on capturing two. I'll do my best to subdue the rest."

"Huff!" Li Yuan's powerful divine perception suddenly surged, unabashedly sweeping through the eight directions... directly striking the fleeing Ethereal Immortal's mental world.

Utterly overwhelming!

If Dreamstone were used with full force, even a True Immortal might succumb to Li Yuan's soul attack... let alone these middle-stage and peak Ethereal Immortals? Even without Li Yuan employing any soul secret arts.

Merely with his True Immortal-level divine perception, he shook their mental worlds, giving them a sense of soul disintegration.

Their minds wavered, control over their bodies rapidly declining, and their speed naturally diminished.

"Stay put, and you might live," Li Yuan's voice thundered in their minds: "If you continue to flee, once we suppress you, there will be no mercy!"

This terrifying divine perception outburst was also sensed by Zhuang Long, leaving him in awe.

It was common knowledge that among Ethereal Immortals, Li Yuan was at the pinnacle.

He had always sought a soul breakthrough to the True Immortal level, but to no avail.

For an Ethereal Immortal to possess a True Immortal-level soul was a rarity. Among the million Ethereal Immortals in the Great Stone Divine Kingdom, those who achieved it were few and far between, each renowned for their prowess.

"This Brother Xu Yuan."

"I've never heard of him before, but his domain is formidable, and his soul is even more terrifying... Yet, his character is worthy of friendship." Zhuang Long's thoughts raced.

Boom!

Zhuang Long's heart was shaken, but his actions were swift. Like lightning, he swiftly moved under Li Yuan's divine perception guidance, capturing the Ethereal Immortal.

"Captured! I've captured them!" Zhuang Long exclaimed, securing the Ethereal Immortals.

Under Li Yuan's powerful divine perception, these Ethereal Immortals trembled, their abilities diminished to a fraction, too scared to resist.

Li Yuan revealed a speed not inferior to Zhuang Long, directly approaching the seemingly strongest, the golden-robed man. With a wave of his hand, he forcefully suppressed and captured him, placing him within the Ancient God Palace.

... Within the Ancient God Palace, the formless power of the world suppressed the golden-robed man, making him feel his energy was restrained, even his own divine flame was bound.

"I've been captured? It's over! It's truly over!" The golden-robed man's heart was filled with dread.

He knew his fate was sealed.

Even so, a glimmer of hope remained: "If a True Immortal receives my message, they should arrive soon."

Just then, another formless soul wave, stronger and more exquisite than the previous, instantly overwhelmed the golden-robed man.

"Tell me, why did you ambush and kill passing Ethereal Immortals?" Li Yuan directly asked: "Did no one ever discover you?

"Out of caution, I immediately asked the moment I suppressed him," Li Yuan said.

"We were ordered to target some of the weaker Void Deities who used the Teleportation Array," the golden-robed man replied with a lifeless expression.

"Ordered by whom?" Li Yuan's vigilance heightened.

Only an extraordinary powerhouse could command a Void Deity garrison.

"Ah! Ah! Ah!" The golden-robed man's face contorted in pain, his expression becoming extremely agonized?

Suddenly—

"Boom!" A destructive force erupted from the depths of his soul, sweeping through every corner of his being... His soul seemed on the verge of disintegration.

"Ah! Ah!" The golden-robed man's face twisted to its limit, as if his soul were being torn apart.

His soul was indeed being ripped apart.

"A restriction? Is this the work of your backer, and my questioning triggered his soul restriction?" Li Yuan was surprised.

Such a cautious backer.

It also proved that his backer had considerable expertise in soul matters... After all, the golden-robed man was already suppressed by Li Yuan's 'Ancient God Palace', yet his soul restriction still activated.

Even Li Yuan, if he wanted to set up such a restriction in a Void Deity's soul, would need to spend some time.

Fortunately, Li Yuan had bound the golden-robed man's Source Energy, Divine Flame, and soul, and this binding was also a form of protection... This soul restriction, though activated, didn't cause the golden-robed man's death.

It only resulted in a severe soul injury.

"We'll have to wait for his soul to recover a bit before questioning him with Soul Secret Arts," Li Yuan gave up on further interrogation.

...

In the outer starry sky, within the array.

Li Yuan tried to question the golden-robed man, but it took very little time, and it didn't delay him from capturing the other Void Deities... Li Yuan and Zhuang Long acted swiftly, dividing their efforts.

In less than twenty seconds, they had captured ten out of twelve Void Deities.

Zhuang Long captured six, while Li Yuan captured four.

They even managed to collect a large portion of the twelve Void Deity-level temples, and the vast array covering tens of thousands of miles, which enveloped the temples, was also quickly disintegrating, revealing the scenery in all directions.

At this moment—

A dazzling, endless light burst forth from a towering tower, hundreds of kilometers high and suspended in the starry sky, located about two thousand kilometers away.

The astonishing spatial fluctuation instantly spread across an area of several hundred thousand kilometers... Almost everyone with a slight understanding of the mysteries of space sensed it.

At this moment, both the native Void Deities of Wanlong Star and Li Yuan and Zhuang Long realized that a powerful being had used the Teleportation Array.

The next instant—

"Stop!" A booming voice echoed through the void, covering tens of thousands of kilometers in an instant.

"Boom!!! A crushing divine perception swept across two thousand kilometers, sweeping through the entire starry sky.

The overwhelming divine perception caused the two white-robed Void Deities in the early stage to turn pale... Too powerful!

Previously, when Li Yuan's divine perception erupted, it wasn't directed at them, so they couldn't sense the difference.

"Me?" Zhuang Long was shocked. "A True God-level soul? Could it be a True God?"

Bang! Li Yuan's powerful soul was like a spear piercing through the heavens, directly dispersing the overwhelming divine perception that rushed towards him.

He easily blocked it.

"Senior, we're just victims of the garrison's actions.
