Chapter 519: The Impact! A Succession of Divine Kings

Chapter 519: The Impact! A Succession of Divine Kings

The first seven styles of the "Illusory Mind Divine Canon" were all techniques below the Divine King level, designed to unleash both soul and physical attacks simultaneously.

In essence, they primarily utilize the manipulation of spatial laws, integrating the intricacies of other fundamental laws.

Many Source Mars Demigods were reluctant to choose this Divine King secret technique, mostly because their understanding of the Soul Path was not high enough, making it difficult even to get started.

What about Li Yuan? His proficiency in soul techniques was extremely high. The soul technique "Dark Abyss" he cultivated was quite similar to the "Black Hole Heart" soul technique in the first style of the "Illusory Mind Divine Canon."

Moreover, Li Yuan's understanding of spatial laws had reached an extremely high level.

In just over a year, Li Yuan had thoroughly comprehended the first style of the "Illusory Mind Divine Canon."

This was his first application after initially mastering the secret technique.

"Black Hole Heart, break for me!" Li Yuan's eyes were fixed on his opponent, and multiple star techniques erupted to their limits. Whether it was speed or strength, everything was unleashed to the extreme.

That spear beam was like a true black hole, ready to devour and tear apart everything in its path.

Black holes are terrifying celestial bodies in the universe, swallowing everything, even light cannot escape, and time flows are distorted. It is the ultimate manifestation of the manipulation of the 'world direction' of spatial laws.

In the dark regions of the universe, black holes are common dangers, and even a Heavenly Deity can barely escape.

But the most terrifying black holes, even a Sky God Monarch, would be completely annihilated if they fell into one.

The first style of the "Illusory Mind Divine Canon" is a crude imitation of a black hole, but its power is extremely frightening.

The spear beam was silent, yet it annihilated everything in its path.

"Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle!"

The domain summoned by the guardian had not completely dissipated, and as Li Yuan slowly but firmly broke through layer after layer, it directly pointed at the guardian.

The countless yellowish-brown streams of energy were even swallowed by the embryonic black hole.

"Boom, boom, boom!" The guardian felt his consciousness plunging into the abyss, and his consciousness erupted with dazzling bursts of light, trying to break free from the multiple bindings and regain consciousness.

However, he was caught off guard by such a terrifying soul technique and had no time to regain his senses. "Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle!" That terrifying spear beam finally pierced through the guardian's domain, traveling over a thousand kilometers, and directly struck the guardian's body... The guardian hadn't even regained consciousness when his body was directly annihilated...

The guardian was defeated!

"What a weak guardian, his body is too frail, probably only slightly stronger than me before I cultivated the 'Law Heaven Mimics Earth' technique," Li Yuan exclaimed in surprise at the sight.

He had just sensed the aura emanating from the guardian and thought that he would need to attack the guardian dozens or even hundreds of times to defeat the opponent.

Li Yuan had already prepared for the possibility of failure in this battle.

Unexpectedly, he succeeded on the first attempt.

Boom! In the vast hall, a brilliant light burst forth, and countless golden lotuses emerged from the ground, resembling a grand ceremony. Countless mists appeared, and the slender guardian materialized in the void.

"Congratulations, Li Yuan Shenzi." The guardian said with utmost respect, "You are the 364th person in the history of the Divine Court to pass the eleventh level of the Sourcefire Realm."

"The most recent million years?" Li Yuan thought to himself.

In other words, among all the Heavenly Deities in the Divine Court, no one in the Demigod realm had surpassed his achievements.

"I was just lucky." Li Yuan smiled, "My physical attacks are not strong enough."

"Indeed, among the 364 successful cultivators, your physical abilities are relatively weak, even considered the weakest." The guardian smiled, "But in terms of soul attack strength, you are absolutely among the top ten, or even the top five. Most of the Ten-star Vein prodigies are inferior to you in soul attacks."

"Soul techniques are also a part of one's strength."

"I believe that Li Yuan Shenzi, being so young, will become even stronger in the future." The guardian said respectfully.

If the previous treatment was equal, then now, he was treating Li Yuan with even higher respect.

"However!"

"There's one thing I must remind you, Li Yuan Shenzi." The guardian said, "My body is set at the Early Void Deity level... Therefore, once my consciousness is overwhelmed, I cannot withstand your attack."

"I possess Early True Deity strength because of my understanding of laws and my Heavenly Deity level."

"When fighting with you and other True Gods, their techniques may not be as profound, but their divine bodies are extremely powerful, and they won't be defeated by a single attack from you." The guardian explained, "In future battles with True Gods, be cautious. They can endure your attacks dozens or even hundreds of times with their bodies, but if they regain consciousness even once, they may severely injure or even kill you."

"Thank you for the reminder." Li Yuan said.

Strength is multifaceted, encompassing close combat, physical defense, speed, soul techniques, domains, and more.

The most exceptional Demigods rely on their profound understanding of laws to unleash True God-level combat power, often excelling in offensive capabilities. However, in terms of vitality, even those who have cultivated the 'Law Heaven Mimics Earth' technique are far weaker than True Gods.

"Li Yuan Shenzi, do you still wish to challenge the twelfth level?" The guardian asked with a smile, "In the history of the Divine Court, only eight Demigods have passed the twelfth level of the Sourcefire Realm."

"Among those eight, one became a Supreme Divine Emperor, and six of the other seven became Divine Kings."

"The guardian of the pass spoke,"

The God Emperor he referred to was naturally the Star God Emperor.

"I shall challenge it!" Li Yuan declared resolutely.

After that, Li Yuan faced the guardian once again... but this time, he suffered a crushing defeat.

In this battle, under the influence of Li Yuan's invisible soul attack, the guardian was still greatly affected, and his strength was less than three-tenths of its full potential... But even with this three-tenths strength, it was still incredibly formidable.

The guardian's specialty was claw techniques!

Under the domain's shroud, a single claw strike seemed capable of tearing apart the heavens, and it dealt Li Yuan a severe blow, forcing him to concede defeat immediately.

Just one clash made it clear to Li Yuan.

The guardian at the twelfth level had the strength of a mid-tier True God, and his soul defense was astonishing... Even with only three-tenths of his material attack power remaining, Li Yuan was still unable to withstand it.

Li Yuan's material prowess had only just reached the level of a True God.

...

Huff! Li Yuan flew out of a passageway in the Sourcefire Realm, immediately attracting a large number of figures flying towards him.

"He's Li Yuan!"

"He's too monstrous to have passed the tenth level of the Sourcefire Realm!"

"If he's willing, he could probably easily pass the twelfth level of the Nine Heavens Palace as well."

"They say he's only been in the Sourcefire Star for a few decades, and his progress is astonishing."

"With such talent, he might become a great God King in the future." The numerous Sourcefire Star members who witnessed Li Yuan's passage through the tenth level of the Sourcefire Realm were all whispering among themselves.

Passing the ninth level of the Sourcefire Realm was relatively common, with one appearing every few hundred years.

But passing the tenth level was rare.

The key point was that Li Yuan was still so young.

"Congratulations, Brother Li Yuan."

"Congratulations."

"Brother Li Yuan, I'm from the Star Palace lineage of the Star God Emperor..."

"Brother Li Yuan, I'm from the Ink River Star Domain..." Many golden-robed Demigods and a few purple-robed Demigods who had rushed over came forward to offer their congratulations, hoping to get to know Li Yuan.

Li Yuan had spent these past few decades in the Sourcefire Realm in secluded cultivation, rarely interacting with others.

In the eyes of these Sourcefire Star members, Li Yuan's current achievements were so high that they feared he would soon ascend to godhood... Once he became a god, it would be difficult to befriend him.

These Sourcefire Star geniuses were only arrogant towards ordinary Demigods and Void Deities; they were usually quite enthusiastic towards those of the same level.

If they could make friends in the Sourcefire Star, it would be greatly beneficial for their future adventures in the dark regions of the universe or the establishment of their godly kingdoms.

Li Yuan politely responded to each of them.

"Li Yuan, you're the hottest topic right now," said Blood Universe, a Demigod who had approached, with a smile. "A Sourcefire Star's first Demigod in so many tens of thousands of years."

Li Yuan smiled.

The first Demigod of the Sourcefire Star? Perhaps this title was not insignificant to countless Void Deities and True Gods.

But for Li Yuan, this was just a small goal.

"Compared to the countless top geniuses in the history of the Sourcefire Star, I'm only one of 364, and I'm far from being the strongest," Li Yuan sighed inwardly. "Moreover, genius does not equate to true strength."

"Only by becoming a Celestial God can one truly enter the ranks of the super-powerful."

"Only by becoming a God King can one dominate the Divine Realm." Li Yuan silently recited to himself, "One day, I, too, shall reach such heights."

Leaving his hometown in the mortal realm, Li Yuan arrived in the vast Divine Realm.

Li Yuan carried the hopes of countless people from his hometown, and he had his own pursuits and dreams.

The pinnacle of cultivation!

To battle countless powerful beings.

To witness the wonders of this vast universe.

Becoming the first Demigod of the Sourcefire Star was just a small step on the long road of becoming a powerful being.

...

Outside the Sourcefire Star, in a majestic temple, five Celestial God managers were staring at the light screen in front of them, utterly stunned by the message sent by the Sourcefire God.

"He passed the eleventh level of the Sourcefire Realm?"

"The 364th in history?"

"How could he pass it at such a young age? Could it be that he relied on his soul power?" The five Celestial Gods looked at each other in disbelief.

They were already amazed by Li Yuan's passage through the tenth level of the Sourcefire Realm.

But passing the eleventh level was beyond their imagination.

"We can't view the battle footage from the eleventh and twelfth levels of the Sourcefire Realm," said Ling Wei, the Celestial God, in a deep voice. "But the result is accurate... Li Yuan has passed the eleventh level of the Sourcefire Realm, so you should immediately send a message to the various God Kings in the Star Court."

These five managers of the Sourcefire Star each represented different major factions.

Their task was to select geniuses from various departments.

The most important task was to continuously screen top-tier geniuses for the higher-ups in the Divine Court.

If someone passed the tenth level of the Sourcefire Realm, like Zi Peng, their information would be sent to the various God Kings... But whether the God Kings would read it would depend on their time and interest.

After all, geniuses like Zi Peng were born on average once every ten thousand years, and in the long life of a God King, they would encounter at least hundreds of such individuals in their lifetime, so they might not take on disciples.

But if someone passed the eleventh level of the Sourcefire Realm, they must immediately notify the various God Kings.

Moreover, based on past experience, such an extraordinary genius would definitely be accepted as a personal disciple by the God Kings.

The God Kings did not pay attention to ordinary geniuses.

Chapter: The Divine King's Offer

For an exceptional genius, the Divine Kings were all vying to take him as their disciple.

"Pass on the message."

"Yes, I must not delay." These Heaven Deities knew that Li Yuan had two Divine Kings backing him... But reporting the news was the rule.

If not reported, it would be considered negligence.

How the Divine Kings fought was unrelated to the five Heaven Deities managing the Heavens.

...

The Three Emperor Palace was covered in icy snow.

"Hmm!"

"A message from the Source Mars?" A colossal figure opened his eyes, receiving the message.

"He's passed the 11th layer of the Source Fire Realm?"

"This little junior brother has made such rapid progress, his innate talent for Spatial Laws is truly high." Winter Brilliance Divine King sighed inwardly: "The Space Star Emperor has indeed granted him a gift... It remains to be seen if he has the hope of awakening the Ten-Star Meridian."

In Winter Brilliance Divine King's view, Li Yuan's pursuit of the Demi-God realm left only the Ten-Star Meridian.

...

In the Three Emperor Palace, within a vast world, countless crystals floated in the void, forming an absolute 'Regular Palace'.

The entire palace stood at a height of a million kilometers, its beauty unparalleled.

At the palace's core...

There was a purple crystal pillar with a three-pronged shape, emitting a unique aura. Intricate and complex patterns were engraved on its surface, making its aura even more vast and mysterious.

If countless Void Deities and True Immortals were here, just a glance at it might cause their consciousness to sink into oblivion.

"Cultivation for a hundred years."

"Such a powerful soul attack? Even the guardian of the 12th layer had their consciousness influenced and suppressed by 70%?" This purple crystal emitted wave after wave of powerful vibrations: "According to the Chaos Emperor's settings, the guardian of the 12th layer of the Source Fire Realm, their soul defense can reach the peak of the True Immortal level."

As a Divine King, he could directly access Li Yuan's battle footage from the Source Fire Realm.

"His soul has definitely reached the True Immortal level... He cultivates the ultimate technique of the Illusion Heart Divine King."

"A raw jade!"

"This is an exceptional raw jade." The surface of the purple crystal pillar glowed with dazzling light, its emotions seemingly stirred.

...

In the past, even after Li Yuan passed through the 12th layer of the Heart Dream Realm, most Divine Kings didn't know, or perhaps they didn't pay much attention.

The soul's path is incredibly difficult, mere soul cultivation won't make one a Divine King... This is a consensus among Divine Kings.

But with Li Yuan passing through the 11th layer of the Source Fire Realm, and additionally, the 12th layer of the Heart Dream Realm... That was too dazzling.

In a short time, many Divine Kings took notice.

...

Source Mars, Li Yuan's mansion.

"My soul attack still needs more power."

"If my soul cultivation were stronger, it could directly sink the guardian of the 12th layer. Then, I'd get 100 billion Heart Dream Coins." Li Yuan sighed inwardly.

Passing the 10th layer of the Source Fire Realm earned 1 billion Heart Dream Coins.

Passing the 11th layer earned 10 billion Heart Dream Coins.

In short, Li Yuan passing the 11th layer of the Source Fire Realm earned him over 110 billion Heart Dream Coins... His wealth returned to its previous peak.

The 12th layer of the Source Fire Realm, if passed, would reward 100 billion Heart Dream Coins.

"But my divine body has reached its limit. To strengthen my soul attack further, the difficulty is no less than comprehending the second technique of the Illusion Divine Canon." Li Yuan sighed inwardly.

The second technique of the Illusion Divine Canon was already a Heaven Deity level technique.

Indeed.

"Hmm?" A hint of surprise flashed in Li Yuan's eyes. His consciousness, hidden within the Heart Dream Realm, instantly became clear.

...

Heart Dream Realm.

Li Yuan's palace residence.

"What's this?" Li Yuan's conscious avatar opened his eyes, looking at a spot not far from the palace.

A figure clad in black battle armor appeared out of thin air, its aura vast. Its single eye seemed to contain a faint smile.

Even in the Heart Dream Realm, this sight made Li Yuan's heart tremble.

"Greetings, Divine King." Li Yuan reacted swiftly.

Without the permission of the palace owner, the sudden appearance of this figure meant it was a Divine King.

"You're a smart one." The black-armored figure's voice rumbled with a hint of laughter: "Don't worry, I'm from the Chaos Divine Palace lineage, the 'Dark Light Divine King'. Li Yuan, do you wish to become my disciple and receive my personal guidance?"

"Become your disciple?" Li Yuan was taken aback.

A Divine King offering to take a disciple, and a personal one at that?

Before Li Yuan could respond...

"Dark Light, you sly one." A cold voice interrupted: "Li Yuan belongs to the Star Emperor Palace lineage. How dare you come to take a disciple without our permission?"

Countless lights converged, forming a purple three-pronged pillar that emitted a bizarre aura.

"Another Divine King? What a curious life form." Li Yuan was startled, quickly bowing: "Li Yuan greets the Divine King."

"Li Yuan!"

"I'm from the Star Emperor Palace lineage, the 'Soul Realm Divine King'." The purple three-pronged pillar vibrated: "Among the many Divine Kings in the Divine Court, I've reached the highest soul cultivation. Will you accept me as your disciple?"
