Chapter 528: The Realm of Great Strength! Another Divine Realm (7K)
No one could have imagined that the Grand Dao Court's Heavenly King, leading hundreds of True Immortals, would be slaughtered by a Void Deity in such a short time.
It was truly horrifying.
"Well done!"
"Brother Seven-Star might become the Hall Master." Yan Chongxu, Qinghong, and Fukang, all Void Deities, were thrilled.
Killing a Heaven Immortal! Even in the Ten Thousand Springs Void, if they could defeat a Heaven Immortal, it would be a great victory.
They didn't understand how Li Yuan had broken through the 'Nine Heavens Star Array' in one move, but the facts were right before them.
What Li Yuan could do was more important than anything else.
It also gave them hope to survive, although they had already prepared for death and were unafraid.
But if there was a chance to live, who would want to die?
...
"Quick!"
"Qingxuan, Fengrui, remove the Void Seal!" Changyun Heaven Immortal knew that if he relied solely on flight, even with the Void Flying Boat, it would be impossible to escape the pursuit of this terrifying demon god.
Li Yuan's speed was too fast. Had they seen how quickly Grand Dao Heaven King was defeated and killed in just two moves? The revealed gun technique was terrifying.
So, Changyun Heaven Immortal thought of a way to survive - remove the Void Seal and activate the Void Flying Boat, buying them some time.
"The Void Seal is broken? But that terrifying demon hasn't caught up yet," Changyun Heaven Immortal thought with a glimmer of hope.
He was just about to activate the Void Flying Boat to escape.
In the next instant!
"Boom~" Another wave of invisible energy swept through, causing the space within a radius of tens of thousands of kilometers to solidify once more.
The Void Seal!
The recently broken Void Seal had formed again.
"What? No!!!" Changyun Heaven Immortal's heart sank with despair as his divine perception sensed Li Yuan rapidly approaching.
He was just about to activate the Void Flying Boat to escape.
In the next moment!
"Boom~" A boundless energy surged, and the space within a radius of tens of thousands of kilometers solidified once more.
The Void Seal!
The recently broken Void Seal had formed again.
"How is this possible? He doesn't have that kind of special Void Flying Boat. How did he do it? Did he rely on his own abilities?" Changyun Heaven Immortal was both anxious and shocked.
Before this battle, he hadn't taken Li Yuan seriously. In his eyes, Li Yuan was just a Void Deity, how powerful could he be?
But now, he was proven wrong.
Wrong! Incredibly wrong!
"The Void Seal?"
"I have profound insights into the five aspects of Spatial Laws, mainly the two aspects of space cutting and world creation," Li Yuan said, his eyes cold as he stared at the Void Flying Boat. "I haven't fully comprehended the 'Eternal Domain,' so I can't perform Void Teleportation or break the Void Seal."
"But by combining the world creation and eternal domain aspects, I can easily create the 'Void Seal' technique."
"Without Void Teleportation, you won't escape me either," Li Yuan declared with murderous intent, his giant-like body towering over the stars, his aura overwhelming.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The Void Flying Boat suddenly burst into countless golden lights, waves of golden energy surging towards Li Yuan.
"Chi!" Li Yuan's hand cannon roared, its length expanding to hundreds of kilometers, its terrifying gun light piercing through the void, its might unmatched.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Countless golden lights exploded, and the massive hand cannon viciously struck the giant Void Flying Boat, causing it to tremble.
Cracks appeared on the surface of the boat, and its speed decreased significantly.
Although these Void Flying Boats had powerful functions, they were not magical treasures, and their self-protection capabilities were relatively weaker.
"Even with weaker defense, this is a boat personally refined by the Dao Ancestor himself," Changyun Heaven Immortal still held onto a sliver of hope. "As long as I seal the boat and defend with all my strength, I might be able to buy some time."
"The Dao Court's army is rushing here at full speed."
"As long as we hold out until the army arrives, with over a hundred Heaven Immortals forming an array, not to mention a single Void Deity, even the Hall Master of the Ten Thousand Dao Hall won't escape death," Changyun Heaven Immortal gritted his teeth.
He continued to defend with all his might.
"Boom~" As Li Yuan's thoughts moved, the Heaven River Domain surged, countless earth-yellow lights binding the boat, reducing its speed to less than a tenth of its original.
But even with the domain, he couldn't directly break the boat and kill Changyun Heaven Immortal hiding inside.
...
"Quick, escape!" Li Yuan's eyes were cold. "Do you think you can survive by hiding in the boat?"
Without hesitation, Li Yuan gripped his hand cannon and raised it high, as if holding a giant club, and then slammed it down onto the boat below.
Smashing was always the most powerful in terms of raw might, although its penetration power was much weaker.
The Secret Art of the Great Strength Realm!
Li Yuan's primary focus was on the 'Illusory Heart God Canon,' but the 'Ten Thousand Dao Miscellaneous Studies' by the Star God Emperor contained many secret techniques and arts of the God King, some created by the Star God Emperor himself, and some collected from other God Kings.
At the same time, there are quite a few secret techniques and methods within the Heart Realm Divine King’s lineage.
Therefore, as Li Yuan continuously cultivates, he also refers to numerous powerful secret techniques and ultimate arts.
Even with just a slight understanding, the profundity of Li Yuan’s law comprehension and the Divine King’s ultimate arts allows him to unleash extremely terrifying power once he uses them.
The ultimate art, Great Strength Dao, was created by the Great Strength Divine King based on the Law of Earth and the Spatial Law, after which he opened the ‘Path of Strength’.
Its essence is the perfect mobilization of one’s entire strength, Source Energy, and weapons, allowing various forces to combine nearly perfectly, unleashing full power without any reserve.
This ultimate art is actually unsuitable for normal combat, as life-and-death battles require the control of strength to avoid giving the opponent an opening.
However, it is best suited for attacking targets with no resistance, such as warships, fortresses, Cavern Treasuries, and other ‘turtle shells’.
Boom!
The silver moon divine spear, containing a trace of the Divine King’s ultimate art’s profundity, crashed down on the warship with an incomparably terrifying force.
“The last blow only caused slight cracks on the warship. To completely destroy it…” The Changyun Heaven Immortal spared no effort, pouring his magical power into every part of the warship to strengthen its defenses.
But the moment the warship touched the divine spear, his expression changed: “No! How is this possible!”
Through the warship, the Changyun Heaven Immortal sensed the terrifying force contained within the spearhead, something unimaginably powerful.
Such a terrifying force, if faced by a strong opponent, would likely cause them to dodge, unwilling to confront it head-on.
But now, the warship was heavily restrained and couldn’t avoid the blow, leaving it to endure it directly.
Strong! Terrifyingly strong!
Pang! The void warship first showed numerous cracks at the point of impact, began to cave in, and countless fragments of the warship flew away.
Then, with a crack, the entire warship snapped in half.
Broken!
“What?”
“One blow, and the void warship was shattered?”
“This! This much power.” Everyone was stunned; Li Yuan’s displayed strength consistently exceeded their imagination.
Yes, Li Yuan’s strength just now was strong, but it didn’t seem to be this level of strength.
Even if the Palace Lords of the Myriad Deities Hall were to come, they shouldn’t be able to do this in one move.
Whoosh!
This fierce blow, through the slight residual force that penetrated the warship, severely injured the Changyun Heaven Immortal, who turned into a stream of light and tried to continue fleeing for his life.
“Die!”
Li Yuan’s eyes were cold, and with a single thrust, he overpowered and blasted away the numerous magical treasures hastily summoned by the Changyun Heaven Immortal, then pierced through his body.
The body exploded, turning into a mist of blood, and the soul essence was directly annihilated.
The Changyun Heaven Immortal, dead!
This scene sent shivers down everyone’s spine. The once mighty ‘Heaven Immortals,’ who presided over a realm, were as weak as chickens before this mysterious Void Deity.
“Killing Heaven Immortals is like killing chickens.”
“Perhaps only the top ten Palace Lords could do this.” Yan Chong, Fu Kang, and the other Void Deities held their breath.
Huff!
After slaying the Changyun Heaven Immortal, Li Yuan did not hesitate, and with a howl, he charged toward the warship belonging to the Fengrui Heaven Immortal.
In the end.
Although the Fengrui Heaven Immortal led three hundred True Immortals in a desperate defense, he was still directly swept away and killed by Li Yuan.
But taking advantage of this opportunity, the warship commanded by the Qingxuan Heaven Immortal also escaped from Li Yuan’s spatial seal, and with a slight tremor in the void, it had already used spatial movement to flee.
Li Yuan let them go.
If he were to reveal some more trump cards, such as ‘Void Walker,’ Li Yuan had the confidence to pursue and kill them.
However, with the entire world’s secrets still unclear, Li Yuan naturally wouldn’t easily expose himself.
The escape of one Heaven Immortal wasn’t a big deal.
“At least I’ve got a void warship. Things will be much simpler from now on.” Li Yuan thought to himself.
In fact, Li Yuan already had a void warship.
Before entering the Imperial Source Realm, he had spent a large amount of Dreamstones to purchase numerous life-saving items, including void warships. Not only were they of higher grade, but he had three of them.
However, given Li Yuan’s current identity as a ‘Changyun World grown Void Deity,’ he naturally couldn’t casually take out such valuable treasures.
Otherwise, once he entered the Ten Thousand Springs Void, the higher-ups of the Myriad Deities Hall might become even more suspicious.
“Now that I’ve seized a void warship, using it later won’t seem out of place.” Li Yuan thought to himself.
…
In the void, far from the previous battlefield.
Buzz The spatial tremor.
A void warship appeared out of nowhere, precisely the one commanded by the Qingxuan Heaven Immortal with his three hundred True Immortals.
Only now did the Qingxuan Heaven Immortal let out a sigh of relief.
The hundreds of True Immortals also secretly rejoiced; that demon god had given them immense pressure earlier.
“Dead!”
“Guangxing, Changyun, and Fengrui are all dead, and this army’s morale is heavily damaged.” The Qingxuan Heaven Immortal thought to himself, “This mysterious demon god is too terrifying.”
He completely swept them away!
“Fortunately, I survived. May the Heavenly Dao protect me.” The Qingxuan Heaven Immortal thought, “But how can I avoid responsibility?”
Such a crushing defeat, even if he wasn’t the commander of this battle, as the only surviving Heaven Immortal, he would naturally be held accountable.
“I must find a way to shift the blame onto them.” The Qingxuan Heaven Immortal thought quickly.
“First, I’ll go and regroup with the main army.” The Qingxuan Heaven Immortal thought.
“The Immortal Register’s spiritual light has vanished. This demon god is so powerful; a Void Deity has the strength of a Palace Lord of the Myriad Deities Hall. He must be involved.”
“Anyway, I don’t have the ability to deal with it. I’ll leave it to the Heavenly Emperor and Dao Ancestor.”
…
The void where the battle took place had thoroughly quieted down.
Li Yuan waved his hand to collect the numerous treasures left behind by the Heaven and True Immortals. With a slight probe of his divine perception, he disregarded them…
On one hand, the magical treasures of Immortal Path cultivators are mostly for long-range attacks, while although divine path powerhouses also have some long-range means, they primarily focus on close combat. Thus, there are natural differences in the crafting methods of the two cultivation systems’ magical treasures, making them generally unusable directly.
In the second place, how many treasures and wealth did Li Yuan possess? None that he cared for.
The only thing of value was the intact Void Flying Boat he had taken from Feng Rui, the Heaven Immortal.
"Recognize your master." Li Yuan's power surged, quickly permeating every part of the Void Flying Boat.
Huff! Huff!
Yan Chongxu, the Void Deity, and Qinghong, the Void Deity, had already transformed into streams of light and arrived.
"Seven Stars..." Yan Chongxu hesitated, unsure whether to address him as a brother or a senior.
On the path of cultivation, strength was revered.
Li Yuan had displayed a level of power that far surpassed theirs.
"It's fine, we can continue with the previous address." Li Yuan smiled, feeling a great affinity for these powerful beings from the Pantheon of Gods.
"Haha, in that case, I'll boldly call you 'Seven Stars, my brother.'" Yan Chongxu smiled, "And please don't call me senior anymore, I can't bear it. Just call me by my name directly."
Li Yuan nodded.
"Seven Stars, you..." Qinghong, the Void Deity, was about to ask.
"Let's enter the battle ship first." Li Yuan said, "This Dao Court battle ship is of a higher grade. Now that I'm the 'Hell of Endless Torment's Sin', I'm likely already completely locked onto by the Dao Court. There's no need to ride on your battle ship anymore, Yan Chongxu. Let's first escape at the fastest speed."
"Otherwise, if the Dao Court's main army arrives, it will become very troublesome." Li Yuan added.
The previous conversation with Yan Chongxu, the Void Deity, also made Li Yuan realize the true strength of the Radiant Dao Court.
The ones currently chasing them could only be considered 'appetizers'.
The strongest force of the Radiant Dao Court, aside from the supreme 'Dao Ancestor', was the 'Heaven Immortal Legion'.
This was a war legion composed entirely of Heaven Immortals, with terrifying power. Even the Radiant Dao Court had only established three such legions.
"Yes!"
"This kind of battle ship is also the highest-grade Void Flying Boat in the Dao Court. As long as we ride it, the Dao Court's army won't be able to catch up in a short time." Yan Chongxu nodded, "Let's retreat first."
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
This group of powerful beings from the Pantheon of Gods was filled with doubts, but they could only temporarily endure them. They transformed into streams of light and entered the battle ship.
Following closely, the Void Flying Boat, under Li Yuan's control, utilized Void Teleportation, tearing through the void and departing.
...
In the void, a battle ship sped forward, carrying over a hundred beings with powerful auras, all of them Heaven Immortals.
A total of 103 Heaven Immortals.
They were the second group dispatched from the Heavenly Realm after receiving the Heavenly Emperor's command.
Leading them was Qu Chen, the Heaven Immortal, who served as the 'Guardian General of the Realm'. His power was immense, and his status was only second to that of the Heavenly Emperor.
If not for his exceptional status, he wouldn't have been able to command so many Heaven Immortals.
They were tearing through the void in their Void Flying Boat when they received a transmission from Qingxuan, the Heaven Immortal.
"What?"
"Three Heaven Immortals died? About seven hundred True Immortals perished, including Guangxing, the Heavenly King, and Feng Rui, the Heaven Immortal?" The group was stunned by the news.
"Changyun, the Heaven Immortal, is dead, and we don't really care much since we're not that close to him anyway."
But Guangxing and Feng Rui were well-known to them.
Feng Rui, in particular, was one of the 'Twelve Heaven Immortals of the Radiant Palace', almost like a close attendant to the Dao Ancestor, with a high status despite not being exceptionally powerful.
"He's dead too?"
They all watched the transmission from Qingxuan, the Heaven Immortal, and saw the mighty demon with overwhelming aura and unparalleled spear skills.
"The Pantheon of Gods has gained another powerful existence." Qu Chen spoke coldly, "These few idiots from Qingxuan, they're not Void Deities, they're clearly True Gods."
"True Gods?"
"Not Void Deities?" The other Heaven Immortals were confused, "If he's a True God, the Heavenly Dao should have given a warning."
"Look at his spear skills, how profound are they? He can even use Void Seal, and with such a high level of cultivation, he could have broken through to become a True God in one go. Why would he intentionally stay at the Void Deity realm? To show off his high talent?" Qu Chen shook his head, "There's only one possibility: the Pantheon of Gods has developed a very special method that allows True Gods to evade the detection of the Heavenly Dao."
"Evade the detection of the Heavenly Dao?"
"This!" The group of Heaven Immortals was shocked. They, of course, knew the gravity of this matter.
One of the reasons why powerful beings from the Pantheon of Gods had been hiding in the Ten Thousand Springs Void was because True Gods would be detected by the Heavenly Dao the moment they entered the Dao Court's territory.
But if True Gods could hide their auras and infiltrate the Dao Court's territory... even though the Dao Ancestor was powerful, they would still need to find them to kill them.
"For now, it's just my speculation."
"Let's catch up and capture them all, then everything will become clear." Qu Chen spoke in a deep voice.
"Yes."
"With a hundred of us Heaven Immortals working together, we can even defeat the Pantheon of Gods."
Boom!
The battle ship tore through the void, following the sensation of the 'Heavenly Realm Radiance', relentlessly pursuing their targets.
...
Inside the main cabin of the battle ship where Li Yuan and Yan Chongxu, the Void Deity, were, the survivors of the ordeal were all feeling relieved.
Li Yuan's thoughts turned to the Carnage Crystal in the Soul True Realm.
The recent carnage had caused a large amount of crimson aura to flow into the Carnage Crystal, becoming so dense that it formed into three drops of 'Carnage Tears', emitting a mysterious glow.
"When the crimson aura becomes dense to a certain extent, it transforms into liquid?" Li Yuan pondered, "Since the mission refers to this three-sided crystal as the Carnage Crystal, then I shall call this liquid the 'Carnage Tears'."
Tears born from carnage.
"There are three drops of Carnage Tears in total?"
"And there's a large amount of crimson aura that hasn't reached the requirement to form a new drop of Carnage Tears?" Li Yuan seemed deep in thought, "Could it be that killing a Heaven Immortal grants one drop of Carnage Tears?"
"But killing over seven hundred True Immortals doesn't grant a single drop of Carnage Tears."
Li Yuan was unsure how many Carnage Tears he needed to collect.
In any case, it was still insufficient for the trial mission's requirements.
"The Divine Court is well aware of my abilities, and with this Seven-Colored Mission, this trial mission probably won't be that easy." Li Yuan thought to himself.
He was also curious.
What was the mysterious power collected by the Carnage Crystal? Spiritual nourishment? It didn't seem likely!
Unable to figure it out, Li Yuan could only suppress his thoughts for now.
In the hall, Yan Chongxu remained silent for a long time before finally speaking up, "Are you truly a Void Deity? Not a True God? Your strength is so formidable that even if you're not as powerful as the Chamber Lords of the Pantheon of Gods, you're probably not far off."
Li Yuan replied, "I am indeed not a True God."
"Then what is your strength?" Qinghong Void Deity grew more puzzled, "How can you be so powerful? Your Law Enlightenment is extremely high, you should have already transcended into a True God."
Demigods needed to establish a solid foundation, so many peerless geniuses would linger for a long time, only breaking through once their Star Pulse reached its limit.
However, Void Deities, True Gods, and Celestial Gods rarely lingered in a specific realm. Most would transcend once their Law Enlightenment was sufficient.
"My highest realm is the Spatial Law." Li Yuan smiled, "It should be considered a ninth-tier advanced level."
For now, Li Yuan didn't want to reveal that he was a Demigod.
"Spatial Law?"
"Ninth-tier advanced level?"
"This!" The six powerful figures from the Pantheon of Gods were all slightly shocked. Through the previous battle, they knew that Li Yuan's Spatial Law was exceptionally strong.
But they never expected it to be this high.
"Ninth-tier advanced Law Enlightenment? And in the Spatial Law? You're almost like a legendary Celestial God." Yan Chongxu spoke in a low voice, looking at Li Yuan as if he were a monster, "Among the Chamber Lords of the Pantheon of Gods, only the top ten are stronger than you in Law Enlightenment. The rest might not even match you."
"This!!!"
"The Spatial Law has reached such a level, but the basic Laws aren't enough to become a True God? What a monster."
"I've read numerous scriptures, even in the distant ancient times, such a powerful being was rarely seen in the universe."
"As for this era?"
"The False Heavenly Dao shrouds all realms, the Ten Thousand Springs Void is in ruins, and the universe is almost on the brink of destruction... It's been a very long time since a monstrous being like you was born. Just in terms of talent, even the Fifth Chamber Lord might not be your match." Yan Chongxu spoke in a low voice, "Moreover, you cultivate alone, it's truly unbelievable! Unbelievable."
The others were also shocked by what they heard.
"The Fifth Chamber Lord?" Li Yuan asked.
"The Fifth Chamber Lord is the current overall Chamber Lord of the Pantheon of Gods, and the most powerful Chamber Lord." Qinghong Void Deity explained, admiration in her eyes, "The Fifth Chamber Lord is truly a noble and selfless figure. It's because of the Fifth Chamber Lord that the Pantheon of Gods has been able to maintain its position in the Ten Thousand Springs Void, holding the line against the Seven Great Dao Courts for over ten thousand years, and even gradually pushing them out of the Ten Thousand Springs Void."
Li Yuan nodded slightly, it seemed that this Fifth Chamber Lord had quite a reputation.
Suddenly—
"Seven-star brother."
"I've already reported your deeds to Chamber Lord Pang Ming, and he's very pleased." Yan Chongxu continued, "He asked me to inquire if you're truly willing to join the Pantheon of Gods and contribute your strength to completely annihilate the False Heavenly Dao."
"I am willing." Li Yuan replied.
These words were half-truth and half-lie.
Li Yuan indeed disliked the actions of the Dao Courts, but he also had a favorable impression of the Pantheon of Gods. Moreover, the trial mission required him to kill a powerful figure from the Dao Courts... But Li Yuan couldn't bring himself to contribute everything to the Pantheon of Gods.
As for annihilating the False Heavenly Dao? Li Yuan was clear that he was just a passerby in this universe.
Everything was prioritized with his own safety first!
However, he could cooperate with the Pantheon of Gods.
"Good." Yan Chongxu showed a smile, "Chamber Lord Pang Ming is waiting for us at the edge of the Dao Court territory."
Obviously, True Gods wouldn't dare to venture deep into the Dao Court territory.
"Brother Yan Chongxu, what is the False Heavenly Dao?" Li Yuan asked.
This was what he was truly curious about.
"Seven-star brother has always lived in the Dao Court territory, and there are many things he doesn't know." Yan Chongxu spoke solemnly, "I'll tell you the truth about the universe."
"The truth?" Li Yuan was taken aback.
"In the ancient times, our entire universe was extremely prosperous, with numerous star domains." Yan Chongxu spoke in a low voice, "Each star domain was vast and endless, the universe was almost boundless, far beyond what it is now. There were countless life-bearing planets, giving birth to numerous powerful beings, not just Celestial Gods, but also legendary figures who completely mastered the Spatial Law, even God Kings..."
"God King, you might not understand, but you just need to know that the highest God Kings could destroy an entire universe, known as they could annihilate the Dao Ancestor with a single move."
Li Yuan listened.
God King? How could he not know about God Kings? He had seen quite a few God Kings.
"That was the most prosperous era of our Immortal Path!"
Yan Chongxu sighed, "At that time, we called the entire universe the Divine Realm."
The other Void Deities also listened, admiration in their eyes.
Divine Realm!
Li Yuan was shocked, this universe once had numerous Celestial Gods, and even God Kings? They actually called it the Divine Realm?
Impossible!
Compared to the Divine Realm he knew, this universe seemed much weaker. In the boundless starry sky, in the depths of the endless universe's darkness, there was indeed another Divine Realm. However, compared to the Divine Realm he was familiar with, this one seemed much smaller.
"The universe has changed greatly. We encountered a great calamity, war! Endless war! Countless star domains were turned into desolate realms, and numerous life-bearing planets were destroyed, with countless lives lost..." Yan Chongxu spoke solemnly.
"War? With whom?" Li Yuan was confused.
"The Immortal Ancestor." Yan Chongxu spoke solemnly.
Immortal Ancestor? Li Yuan was taken aback.
"This is just a term from the scriptures, I don't know if it refers to a powerful figure or a group of them. Perhaps the Chamber Lords know."
"We Void Deities only know that the final battle almost destroyed the Divine Realm. The last remaining God Kings and Celestial Gods opened up the Ten Thousand Springs Void, becoming the last hope for the lifeforms of this universe." Yan Chongxu smiled bitterly, shaking his head, "We only know that, the Divine Realm God Kings and Celestial Gods opened the Ten Thousand Springs Void, becoming the last hope for the lifeforms of this universe."
Li Yuan suddenly realized.
So, the Ten Thousand Springs Void was opened up by them.
"We thought there was still hope."
"But the False Heavenly Dao appeared." Yan Chongxu spoke, "After the False Heavenly Dao emerged, not a single Celestial God has been born since! This is the most desperate 'Age of Dao Extinction'!"
"The Great Dao cannot be comprehended! This is the most desperate 'Age of Dao Extinction'!"
