Chapter 535: The Secret of the Perfect Nine-Star Vein! "Universal Body Art" (7K)



"You don't want to?" The Fifth Chamber Lord was taken aback.

This was something he had never expected.

In his mind, this was a matter with only benefits and no drawbacks. After all, even if the inheritance failed, he himself wouldn't be harmed, so Li Yuan should have no reason to refuse.

"Chamber Lord," he said.

"I don't want to deceive you," Li Yuan said in a low voice. "If I were to accept that supreme treasure, I'm afraid I would disappoint you."

"Even if it fails, it doesn't matter," the Fifth Chamber Lord frowned. "If it succeeds, even if you don't become a Divine King in the future, you might still become the strongest True God in history."

In the Fifth Chamber Lord's opinion, if Li Yuan wasn't even willing to try, then there was no hope at all.

"Chamber Lord," Li Yuan said, but his heart was filled with caution.

"I'm not afraid of failure," Li Yuan shook his head. "But I'm not from this world's life and destiny. I was sent here by my elders to kill some powerful beings from the Dao Courts. This is a trial mission for me."

Li Yuan decided to tell the truth.

During the trial mission, there was no requirement that he couldn't reveal his origins.

"You're from another world?" The Fifth Chamber Lord's pupils constricted. This was indeed beyond his imagination.

But he quickly organized his thoughts.

"Yes!"

"I was overthinking it before," the Fifth Chamber Lord sighed. "The birth of a powerful being requires the right environment, and the same goes for a super genius. In the past, when the Divine Realm was at its peak, it was difficult to produce a peerless tyrant like you, let alone in the current era?"

"It's not strange that you're from another world."

"According to the records left by the Life God King, in the dark depths of the universe beyond the Divine Realm, there are other Divine Realm worlds." The Fifth Chamber Lord looked at Li Yuan. "The Immortal Ancestors also came from another world... Your elders have the ability to send you here... They must be formidable beings beyond our imagination."

"Your elders should be the enemies of the Immortal Ancestors in the dark depths of the universe," the Fifth Chamber Lord speculated.

"I don't know about that," Li Yuan shook his head.

Li Yuan truly didn't know.

Although he was a genius, he was only at the Demigod level, far from the Heavenly Deity level. How could he possibly have access to such secrets? It was likely that only after becoming a Divine King would one be qualified to know.

"No, that's not right."

"You're a genius from another Divine Realm. Even if you have to return eventually," the Fifth Chamber Lord suddenly realized. "Can't you return after becoming a God?"

The Fifth Chamber Lord's eyes lit up with anticipation.

"According to my elders' orders, if I want to return to my homeland, I cannot break through to become a God in this world," Li Yuan said.

After a hundred years in the Pantheon, interacting with numerous True Gods and Chamber Lords, he had developed a deep respect for this power.

He fought for survival and struggled to control his own destiny.

Deep down, Li Yuan felt a sense of pity.

Facing the supreme treasure left behind by the Life God King, he could have obtained the treasure and left without a care. But Li Yuan resisted the temptation in his heart.

"The Life God King had special means, even after death, the Immortal Ancestors couldn't invade. His strength is simply unimaginable. Even if he's not as powerful as a Divine Emperor, he's still very close," Li Yuan thought to himself. "Especially in enlightening Heavenly Deities to become the Life Tree and then opening the Life Spring Realm, it's truly unheard of."

"In the Chaos Divine Court, among thousands of Divine Kings, there are also experts in life transformation techniques. Those with immortal bodies that can reach 'Immortal Flesh' are all heirs to top-tier divine beast bloodlines. But not one of them can compare to him..."

The Life Transformation Path and the Life God King were indeed unique.

"Looking at the history of my homeland's Divine Realm, over the long years, tens of thousands of Divine Kings and numerous Divine Emperors have been born. Perhaps only the Dragon Ancestor can rival him," Li Yuan guessed.

The Dragon Ancestor was a Divine Emperor who created the Divine Dragon Clan.

The top-tier divine beasts of the Divine Dragon Clan, like the Heavenly Serpent Clan, could only reach the True God level. But why did the Divine Dragon Clan have such great power, far surpassing other divine beast clans? It was not only because of the Dragon Ancestor but also the strength of the Divine Dragon Clan itself.

The Dragon Ancestor alone created dozens of top-tier divine beast bloodlines, collectively known as the 'Dragon Clan'.

One could imagine the Dragon Ancestor's achievements in life transformation.

"The Life God King, such a supreme existence."

"The treasure he left behind must be extraordinary."

"If I don't say anything and successfully obtain this treasure, then leave..." Li Yuan shook his head inwardly.

Li Yuan loved treasures, and he yearned to reach the pinnacle of cultivation... But a powerhouse must have principles.

To destroy the last hope of countless generations of powerhouses in the Pantheon for his own sake? This was something Li Yuan didn't want to do.

...

The Fifth Chamber Lord's last shred of hope was extinguished.

"Chamber Lord," Li Yuan said.

"Although I can't stay here for long, before I leave, I will do my best to slay more powerhouses from the Dao Courts," Li Yuan said.

The Fifth Chamber Lord's eyes flickered as if deep in thought.

"Chamber Lord," Li Yuan said, but his heart was on guard.

Although he respected the powerhouses of the Pantheon and the Fifth Chamber Lord, Li Yuan wouldn't entrust his life to anyone.

He had the ability to protect himself, and if the Fifth Chamber Lord turned against him, Li Yuan had his own means of survival.

After a while, the Fifth Chamber Lord said, "Brother Seven Stars, you have treated me with sincerity, and I have treated the Pantheon with sincerity. So, the Pantheon will also treat you with sincerity."

"You don't want to accept the supreme treasure left by the Life God King."

"But the contributions you've made are still worthy of the position of 'Elder Hall Master' in the Pantheon." The Fifth Chamber Lord looked at Li Yuan. "Then, according to the rules, you can choose one of the 39 Divine Kings' inheritances to accept."

"That shouldn't be a problem," the Fifth Chamber Lord managed a smile.

"No problem," Li Yuan also smiled. "Then I'll choose the Life God King."

Li Yuan had just briefly learned about the inheritances of the 39 Divine Kings in the Pantheon. Whether it was their paths or ultimate arts, there were similar ones in the Chaos Divine Court.

Only the Life God King was the most unique.

"Okay," the Fifth Chamber Lord pointed to one of the 39 Divine King inheritance halls. "That's the Life God King's inheritance hall. Go ahead."

"However, the Life God King's inheritance is the most unique, and there are some trials. How much you can gain depends on you."

"Thank you, Chamber Lord," Li Yuan said.

"No need to thank me. This is what you deserve for your contributions."

"The Fifth Chamber Lord spoke, 'Go.'"

Whoosh! Li Yuan transformed into a streak of light and flew into the inheritance hall, leaving the Fifth Chamber Lord alone.

He stood there for a long time.

"Such a peerless tyrant," he muttered.

"His temperament is also admirable..." The Fifth Chamber Lord thought to himself, "I'm just taking a gamble."

"And if you're wrong?" The aged voice asked.

"Could it be worse than not taking the gamble at all?" The Fifth Chamber Lord, instead, revealed a trace of calmness and smiled, "Divine Tree, do you really think that within a million years, there will be another peerless tyrant born to rival the Seven Star Brother?"

The aged voice fell silent.

It was unrealistic to expect one to appear within less than a million years when none had been born for such a long time.

"No matter what choice the Seven Star Brother ultimately makes, it's not his fault. I accept it," the Fifth Chamber Lord said slowly, "If I'm wrong, then it's my mistake."

"At least..."

"I won't let the Immortal Ancestor succeed completely," the Fifth Chamber Lord's eyes flashed with determination.

...

Whoosh! Li Yuan flew into the hall.

Although it was called a hall, it was actually a 'tree hollow' within the World Tree, with irregular walls on all sides displaying tree patterns and emitting an endless ancient aura, along with a rich life force.

"The inheritance of the Life God King?" Li Yuan looked around, but the entire hall was empty.

Suddenly—

Buzz! The entrance of the tree hollow suddenly shot out a large amount of light, instantly sealing it completely.

"Hmm?" Li Yuan was startled, feeling the surrounding space subtly sealed. Even with the Void Walker's 'Void Teleportation' skill, escape seemed impossible.

Space seals varied in strength; some were so powerful that even Divine Kings couldn't teleport through them.

Before Li Yuan could react—

Boom! An invisible pressure descended, permeating every corner of the hall and instantly enveloping Li Yuan from all sides, leaving him nowhere to escape.

This pressure was very unique.

"Resist," Li Yuan tried his best, but he found that conventional methods of using divine power and Soul Illusion World were useless against this pressure.

In an instant, Li Yuan involuntarily revealed the radiance of his star pulse.

"Buzz!" The Nine Star Lineage glowed, spreading along Li Yuan's limbs and bones, making it obvious to outside observers. This divine radiance seemed to have an invisible magic that easily blocked this special pressure.

Boom! This unique pressure continued to intensify.

...

Within the World Tree, in a special space unknown to Li Yuan and the Fifth Chamber Lord, two blurry figures were observing Li Yuan, who was enduring the special pressure in the tree hollow.

"Nine Star Lineage?" One of the figures, emitting a faint green glow, asked, "Tree Spirit, is this the peerless genius you spoke of, one rarely seen in a long time?"

He was sensing Li Yuan's aura.

"Yes!" The aged voice spoke, "Heirloom Space, this kid is named 'Seven Star', and he's the most peerless tyrant born in the Pantheon of Gods for a long time. He's also recognized by the various Elder Hall Masters as the most promising candidate to obtain the Life God King's inheritance."

"The most peerless genius?" The green figure scoffed, "The Nine Star Lineage is indeed good, but if it were in the era when the master was alive, this would only be the minimum standard for joining the master's disciples."

"Only you would consider him a treasure," the green figure hummed.

The Tree Spirit remained silent.

Among the 39 Divine King inheritances, the Life God King's inheritance was the most special. The inheritance right didn't belong to him or the various Elder Hall Masters of the Pantheon of Gods, but to this 'Heirloom Space' master.

This Heirloom Space master was left behind by the Life God King.

After a moment of silence, the green figure sighed, "I don't blame you either. In the current Sourceless Power World, it's already difficult to give birth to a Nine Star Lineage. We can't ask for more."

"The master back then had a Ten Star Lineage..."

"Hmm? Something's wrong!" The green figure's eyes flashed with surprise, "This little guy is not normal! How can he be so powerful?"

"What's wrong?" The Tree Spirit beside him was taken aback.

In his impression, over a long period of time, occasionally, there were geniuses from the Pantheon of Gods who came to take the Life God King's inheritance test, and this Heirloom Space master would look down on them.

For him to say 'not bad' was already a good evaluation.

But for him to say 'powerful' was a first!

"His star pulse isn't a normal Nine Star Lineage," the Heirloom Space master's voice trembled with shock, "How is this possible?"

"I want to see where his star pulse limit is!"

...

Inside the inheritance hall.

"It should be some kind of special test?" Li Yuan suddenly had a guess, "No wonder the Fifth Chamber Lord said that obtaining the Life God King's inheritance depends entirely on one's own strength."

"Does that mean the stronger one's overall performance and potential, the greater the chance of obtaining a stronger inheritance?"

"Is this test to examine my star pulse level?"

Buzz! Li Yuan began to consciously manipulate his star pulse.

In his Life Star Realm, not only was the Nine Star Lineage gradually blooming, but the countless 'Unbound Life Stars' were also starting to release a certain radiance under Li Yuan's conscious influence.

After a century in this world.

Affected by the imperfect operation of the Great Dao, Li Yuan's Law Enlightenment progressed slowly.

However, in terms of Ultimate Art Heritage and awakening Life Stars, the impact was minimal.

For a hundred years, Li Yuan had been working hard to awaken his Life Stars.

Although he hadn't reached the Ten Star Lineage, the number of 'Unbound Life Stars' in his Life Star Realm had already exceeded ten million... This was an inconceivable number.

Up to this day.

Along with the explosive increase in Life Stars, even with Li Yuan's strong soul will, it was challenging to bear such a staggering number of Life Stars... He found that the speed of awakening Life Stars was also decreasing.

In fact, during his continuous cultivation, Li Yuan had already begun to suspect if the transition from Nine Star Lineage to Ten Star Lineage was truly that difficult.

(End of Chapter)Action: Li Yuan, a powerful being with a ten-star lineage, is being tested by the Life God King. Despite being only around 200 years old, Li Yuan's soul cultivation and willpower are impressive, surpassing most ten-star demi-gods.

Believing in the power of awakening life stars, Li Yuan endures the unique pressure, aided by the countless unbound life stars in his Life Star Realm. The pressure, meant to gauge his star pulse potential, is withstood, surprising the Tree Spirit.

The Heirloom Keeper reveals that Li Yuan might be a 'Perfect Nine-Star Lineage', a concept even many Divine Emperors may not grasp, and speculates that he could be the first to achieve the legendary 'Perfect Ten-Star Lineage'.

A mysterious red sphere appears, showcasing Li Yuan's spatial control and hinting at more tests to come.

~Buzz~

A scarlet sphere suddenly unleashed a radiant glow, instantly enveloping all directions, including Li Yuan.

Boom! An invisible wave descended, instantly infiltrating Li Yuan's Soul Illusion World.

"An illusion?"

"Break it!" Li Yuan's soul consciousness was exceptionally powerful, easily breaking through this layer of illusion.

But after breaking through one layer, another layer of illusion followed.

It was as if they were endless.

"Break it!" Li Yuan put in his utmost effort, continuously breaking through layer after layer of illusions.

Although there were numerous illusions, according to Li Yuan's perception, they were too easy to break through.

The only issue was their sheer number!

...

Within the special space of the World Tree.

Two blurry figures continued their observation.

"Heirloom Keeper, what stage has he reached?" The Tree Spirit was curious, "I recall that the previous Demi-God heirlooms only reached the third stage at most."

"Don't compare him to those trash and the Ten Star Demi-Gods," the Heirloom Keeper shook his head. "That would be an insult to him."

The Tree Spirit was speechless.

"Haha, impressive!"

"How can his soul will be so strong? How can his soul cultivation be so high?" The Heirloom Keeper exclaimed in amazement. "Even the illusions of the fifth stage were easily overcome?"

"Could he possibly pass the sixth stage?"

"He's just a Demi-God, and he seems to have only cultivated for over two hundred years. How can his soul will be so strong?" The Heirloom Keeper felt it was unbelievable.

A moment later.

"He passed the ninth stage?"

"This! Even among the Limitless True God Powerhouses, there are only a few who can achieve this." The Heirloom Keeper was thoroughly shocked.

...

Subsequently, the Heirloom Keeper manipulated the 'Heirloom Space' and began to probe Li Yuan's understanding of the Principles.

This inspection continued to astonish him.

"In terms of the Fundamental Law Dao, he's quite ordinary, far inferior to other Ten Star Lineage geniuses."

"But his understanding of the Space Principle is almost at the tenth stage? He's truly a Tyrant!" The Heirloom Keeper sighed.

"I understand now!"

"No wonder his Star Lineage is so strong, with such a high understanding of the Space Principle and an otherworldly soul will... how can his Star Lineage not be powerful?"

"Tree Spirit."

"Tell me," the Heirloom Keeper suddenly looked at the Tree Spirit. "Can such a Tyrant really be cultivated by those fools in the Pantheon of Gods?"

"Even if it was the Divine Domain in the past."

"In countless eons, there are only a few who can compare to him at the Demigod Realm."

"To achieve the Perfect Nine Star Lineage so quickly, it's definitely not just a matter of talent. He must have other extraordinary opportunities!"

The Tree Spirit felt pressured under the Heirloom Keeper's gaze.

He had originally planned with the Fifth Chamber Lord to deceive the Heirloom Keeper and not reveal the truth.

But now it seems...

Li Yuan is such a Tyrant that even the Heirloom Keeper doesn't believe the Pantheon of Gods could cultivate such a being... this defies common sense.

Even the top talents need the best external environment to fulfill their potential.

"He's indeed not a native of Ten Thousand Springs Void, but from another Divine Domain," the Tree Spirit reluctantly said. "But he's definitely not an enemy; he should be from the Immortal Ancestor..."

The Tree Spirit quickly explained Li Yuan's situation.

"Enough."

"In fact, the master back then held a glimmer of hope," the Heirloom Keeper revealed a smile. "With such a Tyrant, even if he's from another world, as long as he's not from the Immortal Ancestor's camp, it's enough."

"That little guy from the Fifth Chamber, his talent isn't high enough, but his ideas are similar to mine."

"Heirloom Keeper, you must not reveal the truth to the Ten Star Demi-God." The Tree Spirit insisted, "If you tell him, with his character, he might not be willing to accept the heritage."

"Rest assured."

"I don't bother with these matters."

"I've waited long enough in countless eons," the Heirloom Keeper's eyes gleamed. "As long as I can restore the brilliance of the master's ultimate art, I'll be satisfied."

...

Within the Heritage Hall chamber.

"Star Lineage, soul will, understanding of the Principles... all aspects of the inspection have been conducted," Li Yuan wondered silently. "Isn't it over yet? This Life God King heritage is too cautious."

"Could it be that all the powerhouses who came to receive the Life God King heritage were like this?" Li Yuan felt a hint of doubt.

Suddenly.

Whoosh~ Li Yuan's surroundings transformed again, becoming endless darkness, as if boundless and borderless.

Within this darkness, countless crystal-like droplets gradually emerged, each emitting an enigmatic aura and flickering with countless specks of light.

"What's this?" Li Yuan was perplexed.

Could this be another test?

"Ten Star Demi-God." A gentle voice resonated in Li Yuan's mind. "You are the strongest Demi-God to have ever entered the Life God King Heritage Hall since its establishment."

"You have the qualifications to come into contact with the Life God King's ultimate art, a door of extraordinary wonder."

"This ultimate art is called 'Universal Body Art', and its secrets are hidden within these 'Star Body Diagrams'."

"I hope you can achieve success." The gentle voice faded.

Boom! An invisible wave passed by, and a vast amount of information flooded into Li Yuan's mind, all of it related to the 'Universal Body Art', enigmatic and unfathomable.

"I, the Life God King 'Qiao'."

"I was fortunate to witness the Eternal Realm Relics, explore Life Evolution, study the operation of countless stars in the Divine Domain, and gain enlightenment... thus stepping onto the 'Eternal Life Path'."

"According to the Eternal Realm Relics, there are three thousand Eternal Paths, and numerous cultivation systems... there's the Ancient God System, the Immortal Dao Primordial System, the Immortal Dao Fusion System, the Shaman System... and the founder of the Star Deity Cultivation System is a Ten Star Lineage at its peak, with the Star Lineage as the foundation of the universe. Therefore, I created the 'Universal Body Art'. If one day, I can truly embody the universe, I can surpass the 'Body Universe' level and attain eternity through the flesh..."

"Unfortunately."

"In the end, I failed to achieve my goal, only creating the first three layers, and the fourth layer is still in its initial form."

"If I were a Perfect Ten Star Lineage, if I had a few more million years, perhaps I could succeed..."

"..."

More information flooded into Li Yuan's mind.

"This cultivation method?" Li Yuan was thoroughly astounded.

...
