Chapter 551: The First Demi-God in History! The Seven-Colored Realm Sea (6K)
Each of the Eight Perfect Star Techniques required a different amount of time to cultivate, and he also had to erase the many Ninefold Star Techniques he had previously practiced, such as 'True Interpretation of Earthly Vein' and 'Myriad Shadows in the Void'.
In the end, under twenty times time acceleration, Li Yuan spent nearly six years, equivalent to three and a half months in the outside world, to finally cultivate all eight Perfect Star Techniques to the fifth-stage pinnacle.
During this period, Li Yuan also made a trip to the Multiverse Merchant Guild to retrieve the treasures on the second list.
Each of the Eight Perfect Star Techniques was created by a Divine Emperor with utmost dedication, and their might was boundless.
The first technique, 'Law Heaven Earth', was essentially a divine power eruption technique, capable of increasing divine might by dozens of times in an instant, and even at the Divine King level, its power was limitless.
The second technique, 'Void True Interpretation', was the strongest auxiliary Star Technique for comprehending Spatial Laws, and cultivating it would make it much easier to reach the Divine King level.
The third technique, 'Spatial Source Body', was a secret technique for creating clones.
The fourth technique, 'Chaos Treasure Body', was a protective Star Technique, and it was extremely difficult to even enter its initial stages, requiring at least a Nine-Star Vein to begin cultivation. This was because only a Nine-Star Vein Divine Body could withstand such tempering, and cultivating it to the pinnacle could make the physical body as strong as an Imperial Armament. Li Yuan had currently cultivated it to the fifth stage, making his divine body as sturdy as an Ethereal Treasure.
The fifth technique, 'Nine Heavens Feather', was a technique for evasion, and it was said that with a single movement, one could traverse nine layers of heaven.
The sixth technique, 'Heavenly Abyss Eye', was a probing secret technique, capable of perceiving the secrets of heaven and earth, and observing the true nature of all things. It was created by the Xin Meng Divine Emperor.
The seventh technique, 'Ten Thousand Stars River', was created by the Perception Star Divine Emperor, and it was a higher-level derivation of the Ninefold Star Technique 'Heavenly River'. Cultivating it to the pinnacle would allow one to cultivate the 'Universe's Myriad Stars', and with the emergence of the stars, it could suppress the Chaos Universe, and its might was boundless.
The eighth technique, 'Boundary Armament', was a wondrous technique, not created by the three Divine Emperors of the Chaos Divine Court, but obtained by the Chaos Divine Emperor from the outside world.
Its purpose was to use the strong cultivator's body as a 'nurturing ground for armaments', allowing powerful treasures to be nourished within the cultivator's body. Through long-term nurturing, the treasure would eventually become a part of the cultivator's body, achieving absolute unity of heart and mind.
In essence, it was an even higher-level 'Origin Divine Armament Technique'.
"Origin Divine Armaments, even Divine Emperors would usually only help Celestial Gods to refine them. It's extremely difficult to refine Origin Divine Armaments of the Divine King level," Li Yuan thought to himself, "But by cultivating 'Boundary Armament', the cultivator's body becomes the nurturing ground, and even legendary Imperial Armaments can, through constant nurturing, eventually reach the level of perfect unity of heart and mind."
Li Yuan had just cultivated 'Boundary Armament' to the fifth stage, and could only nurture a single True Artifact.
Cultivating it to the sixth stage would allow him to nurture a Heavenly Treasure.
At the seventh stage, he could nurture a Divine King Armament.
Upon reaching the eighth stage, he could nurture three Divine King Armaments.
...
"Once I become a True God, I'll cultivate 'Boundary Armament' to the seventh stage and start nurturing the Silver Moon Divine Spear," Li Yuan's heart was filled with anticipation, "A Divine King Armament is terrifying... but if it's an Origin Divine Armament of the Divine King level, its might would be boundless."
The Eight Perfect Star Techniques, when used in combination, would undoubtedly grant Li Yuan unimaginable combat power when he becomes a Celestial God and Divine King in the future.
"The foundation is cast."
"In the history of the universe."
"Even the Demon God King, or some other Ten-Star Vein Divine Kings, their foundation in cultivating Perfect Star Techniques would absolutely surpass mine," Li Yuan was clear on this point.
The Divine Emperors had created numerous Perfect Star Techniques, but only a few, such as 'Law Heaven Earth' and 'Void True Interpretation', were widely practiced and cultivated among Celestial Gods and Divine Kings throughout history.
After all, even the Nine-Star Vein powerhouses in the Chaos Divine Court would usually only cultivate 1-2 Perfect Star Techniques.
As for other Divine Court powers, even Nine-Star Vein Divine Kings would typically only cultivate a single Perfect Star Technique.
Perfect Star Techniques like 'Ten Thousand Stars River' and 'Boundary Armament', which leaned towards auxiliary functions, could be said to be extremely rare, with hardly any strong cultivators in the entire Divine Domain cultivating them over millions of years.
As for 'Spatial Source Body', many cultivators desired to practice it, but those who met the cultivation requirements were few and far between.
"Everything is cast."
"It's time to go." Li Yuan stood up and flew out of the Time Abyss directly.
This cultivation period wasn't long, and the required Heart Dream Coins were basically negligible to Li Yuan.
Flying in the void...
"Before leaving Source Mars, I should attempt the Nine Heavens Palace and Source Fire Realm once more," Li Yuan thought to himself, "Then I'll take a stroll through the Dao Treasure Mountain."
There were three trial grounds on Source Mars: Dreamheart Path, Source Fire Realm, and Nine Heavens Palace.
Among them, Li Yuan had already conquered the highest twelfth level of Dreamheart Path, so there was no need to challenge it again.
However, he hadn't returned to challenge the Source Fire Realm and Nine Heavens Palace since completing the Imperial Origin Realm task.
"Once I become an Ethereal God, I won't be able to return to Source Mars, so I won't have the chance to challenge them again," Li Yuan transformed into a stream of light.
After passing through a Teleportation Array, he arrived at the location of the Nine Heavens Palace.
Here, just like in the past, numerous Silver Robe and Gold Robe Demi-Gods had gathered.
"Greetings, Purple Robe Divine Son."
"Greetings, Li Yuan Divine Son," many of the Gold Robe Demi-Gods quickly recognized Li Yuan.
Although he hadn't appeared in public for decades, Li Yuan's fame on Source Mars remained immense.
Li Yuan is widely acknowledged as the first Demi-God of Source Mars. Even in recent decades, despite the emergence of numerous exceptional talents on Source Mars, no one has been able to shake his position.
"Hmm," Li Yuan nodded slightly, and with a flash of light, he entered the Nine Heavens Palace.
Quickly, news of Li Yuan's challenge at the Nine Heavens Palace spread like a hurricane across Source Mars, immediately attracting many members from the planet. After all, the last time Li Yuan ventured into the Nine Heavens Palace was over eighty years ago when he first arrived on Source Mars.
More than eighty years have passed, especially with Li Yuan remaining inactive for the last three decades. Everyone was naturally curious about his growth and the level he had reached.
"What do you think, can Li Yuan's Divine Son reach the how many realm?"
"I don't know!"
"I estimate he can make it to the twelfth realm."
"Hmm, the twelfth realm is already the limit for True Gods. The chances of breaking through the thirteenth realm are slim." The Silver Robe Demi-Gods and Golden Robe Demi-Gods were all filled with anticipation.
Even several Purple Robe Demi-Gods rushed over.
Their eyes fell on the giant stele in front of the Nine Heavens Palace, and they saw the rankings rapidly changing.
Eleventh realm!
Twelfth realm!
Thirteenth realm!
...
"What?"
"How long has it been?"
"So fast, he's already broken through the thirteenth realm?" This group of Source Mars Demi-Gods was completely shocked.
"Breaking through the thirteenth realm represents a level of Law comprehension that has reached the True Deity level."
"Could it be that Li Yuan has comprehended a Law Dao?"
It is common knowledge that on Source Mars today, Shi Qing, who is ranked second in the Nine Heavens Palace, has only broken through the eleventh realm... One can imagine how big the gap is.
Many people couldn't help but look at Shi Qing, who had rushed over.
"Is the gap that big? Just over thirty years." Shi Qing sighed inwardly. Even though he had long given up on competing with Li Yuan, seeing this scene still left him with a sense of sigh and emotion.
In the Demi-God Realm, reaching the True Deity level of Law comprehension is much rarer than having a Nine Star Vein.
...
Deep within the Nine Heavens Palace.
"Congratulations to Li Yuan's Divine Son for breaking through the fourteenth realm." The Gatekeeper who had just been defeated by Li Yuan smiled and said, "In the history of the Divine Court, the number of Demi-Gods who have broken through the fourteenth realm is also extremely small, less than a hundred."
Li Yuan nodded slightly.
Breaking through the fourteenth realm of the Nine Heavens Palace represents the ability to comprehend the second-tier combat secret techniques and ultimate skills of True Deities.
In the entire history of the Chaos Divine Court, there was still a group of Demi-Gods who achieved this.
Although Li Yuan's Star Vein reached the ultimate realm in the Spirit Tree Universe after more than three hundred years, his Law comprehension had indeed slowed down significantly... If he had been cultivating in his home universe all this time, not only would his Spatial Law have reached the Tenth Stage, but he would also have a chance to enter the Tenth Stage level in the two fundamental Laws of Wind and Earth.
However, compared to the immense achievements in his Star Vein, Li Yuan didn't pay much attention to the Law comprehension that had been delayed for hundreds of years.
"Li Yuan's Divine Son."
"Breaking through the fourteenth realm, the reward is 100 billion Heart Dream Coins." The Gatekeeper smiled.
Li Yuan has already received a reminder from the Heart Dream Realm that 100 billion more Heart Dream Coins have been added to his account.
"If a Demi-God can break through the fifteenth realm, the reward will be 1 trillion Heart Dream Coins."
"1 trillion?" Li Yuan's heart flashed with surprise. Many True Deities probably couldn't offer such a fortune.
"In history, has anyone broken through?" Li Yuan couldn't help but ask.
"No!" The Gatekeeper smiled and said, "The fifteenth realm of the Nine Heavens Palace... Usually, one needs to reach the Eleventh Stage of Spatial Law to have a chance to break through. Most True Deities can't pass this realm."
"I'll give it a try." Li Yuan smiled and turned into a flash of light, heading towards the higher realm. Since he was here, he naturally wanted to give it a shot.
The result.
Li Yuan suffered a crushing defeat and was defeated in just two moves.
...
A flash of light passed by.
Li Yuan descended from the Nine Heavens Palace, and his gaze swept across the highest ranking on the distant stele. His ranking was fixed at the thirteenth realm.
"Congratulations, Li Yuan!" Shi Qing couldn't help but exclaim, "Breaking through the thirteenth realm, you've reached the pinnacle of all Demi-Gods in the history of Source Mars."
"Thank you." Li Yuan smiled.
Just like how the Dreamheart Path shows a maximum of ten layers, the Nine Heavens Palace also has a similar restriction... No matter how monstrously talented one is, in publicly known information, the maximum is breaking through the thirteenth realm.
...
Soon, Li Yuan entered the Source Fire Realm through another channel that only he could access.
He immediately started challenging the twelfth layer.
The Nine Heavens Palace only tests Law comprehension, so Li Yuan can only be considered among the top geniuses in history... But the Source Fire Realm tests actual combat power.
Li Yuan's current strength is so formidable that he doesn't even bother to use soul secret techniques or Law Heaven Earth. With just the Nine Heavens Feather and the terrifying defense of his Chaos Treasure Body, he swept through all the Gatekeeper Puppets.
"Congratulations to Li Yuan's Divine Son for receiving a reward of 100 billion Heart Dream Coins."
"You've become the ninth Demi-God in the history of our Chaos Divine Court to break through the twelfth layer of the Source Fire Realm." The eighteen Gatekeeper Puppets were all thrilled and delighted.
"Moreover, Li Yuan's Divine Son defeated us without even using Law Heaven Earth."
"In the entire history of the Divine Court, this is probably the strongest Demi-God ever." The leading Gatekeeper sighed, "In the entire Divine Domain, even the Divine Kings of past generations, and the legendary Divine Emperors, at the Demi-God Realm, probably didn't have strength surpassing yours."
"As guardians of the Source Fire Realm, they stood watch over the endless years."
The Demigods born in the Chaos Divine Court were stronger, and naturally, they were happier.
"The first Demigod in history?" Li Yuan's heart revealed a smile, having cultivated for over four hundred years.
Finally, he stood at the peak, surpassing countless Demigods in history.
No one could surpass him anymore.
At least, in the Demigod Realm, he had already reached the highest peak.
"The pinnacle of genius."
"The strongest foundation in history." Li Yuan's mind flashed with various thoughts, "But a Demigod is still just a Demigod... I still have a long way to go."
"The path of cultivation!"
"As Master Jue Xing Shen Di said... On this endless path of eternity, to be able to call Master and the various Divine Emperors as 'fellow cultivators' is a longing and expectation."
It was a longing for the peak of cultivation.
...
As Li Yuan left the Source Fire Realm and headed towards the Dao Treasure Mountain, news spread. Although it was extremely confidential, even the Celestial Gods were not qualified to know.
However, the highest-level Divine Kings had already received the Source Fire God's blessing.
"This little junior, truly a monstrous talent, not only transforming into a Ten Star Vein, but also having such profound insights into the Laws. He's truly formidable." Dong Mang Divine King marveled, "Among Master's disciples, he's probably the first to have broken through the twelfth layer of the Source Fire Realm."
"In the Demigod Realm, he has reached the pinnacle!"
"In the future, if he becomes a Celestial God, how powerful will he be?" Dong Mang Divine King was filled with anticipation, "If this junior brother is like the Illusory Heart Divine King, he might forge an unimaginable path."
"Perhaps, he could dominate a Divine Domain for an era."
Dominating a Divine Domain for an era meant that his combat power in the Divine King Realm was truly unmatched.
Ordinary Ten Star Vein Divine Kings couldn't achieve this.
Because it required not only an extremely powerful Divine Body but also a strong enough path.
...
The numerous Divine Kings in the Chaos Divine Court secretly communicated with each other.
"No wonder he's a disciple of a Divine Emperor."
"A Demigod with such terrifying strength must be a Ten Star Vein."
"Indeed, only a Ten Star Vein Demigod with insights into Celestial-level Laws can break through the twelfth layer of the Source Fire Realm."
"The future leader of the Perceiving Star Imperial Palace." The Divine Kings of the three Imperial Palaces marveled.
Internally, the Divine Kings of the three Imperial Palaces competed fiercely.
However, externally, the Divine Kings of the three Imperial Palaces were extremely united... Most of them didn't believe that Li Yuan could become a Divine Emperor, as over the long years, countless Divine Kings in the Chaos Divine Court had perished, and only one Divine Emperor had emerged.
But at least, these Divine Kings acknowledged that as long as Li Yuan didn't fall, he was destined to become a Divine King, and he would be an extremely powerful one.
...
The Dao Treasure Mountain was a treasure trove on Source Mars, gathering the treasures left behind by numerous Divine Kings and Celestial Gods throughout the history of the Chaos Divine Court.
Those with fate would obtain them.
All official members of Source Mars were allowed to reach this place, but no matter how many treasures they discovered, they could only take one item.
Therefore, most members of Source Mars would only come here when preparing to leave.
Li Yuan was no exception.
However, when Li Yuan arrived at the Dao Treasure Mountain, his Divine Sense slightly released, causing the entire mountain to seem to boil, and countless treasures emitted brilliant light.
"So many treasures?"
"It's Li Yuan, no wonder!"
"I've come here several times, but I've never been able to activate the light of a treasure." The group of Demigods at the Dao Treasure Mountain were all dumbfounded.
Although the Dao Treasure Mountain was said to contain numerous treasures, in reality, most members of Source Mars would leave empty-handed.
Only a few could take treasures with them.
But what about Li Yuan?
"1,266 treasures?" Li Yuan was also surprised, as his Divine Sense sensed so many responses.
Looking back in history.
To cause such a huge stir at the Dao Treasure Mountain was indeed rare.
"I wonder what the conditions are to activate these treasures?" Li Yuan thought, "Could it be related to one's strength?"
"What a pity."
"So many treasures, it's truly tantalizing. If I could take them all and sell some, it should be enough to allow me to quickly cultivate my Eight Perfect Star Techniques to the Seventh Stage."
"In the end, I can only take one." Li Yuan closed his eyes.
He had obtained a brief introduction to these over a thousand treasures.
Most of them were Celestial-level artifacts, with a few Dao Treasures and some rare materials.
Finally, Li Yuan chose a Dao Treasure, 'Seven-Colored Realm Sea'.
Whoosh~
The power of invisible space spread, instantly isolating Li Yuan's area, preventing other Demigods from prying.
Whoosh~
A soaring beam of light appeared above Li Yuan, a vast river floating in the sky, emitting seven-colored glow. It seemed only a hundred kilometers long, but in reality, its power was infinite, like a vast and endless world.
It exuded an extremely terrifying aura.
"Me, an extraordinary Divine King."
"Seven-Colored Realm Sea, I discovered it in a strange land while wandering through the dark reaches of the universe. It's a domain-type Dao Treasure, and this river actually contains the power of a world. After slightly refining it, I turned it into an artifact, and only after recognizing its master... Once you can fully unleash its power, it will be stronger than most domain-type Celestial-level artifacts."
"A faint voice echoed in Li Yuan's mind, conveying a message left by the Fruitful Divine King when he bestowed this treasure.
Whoosh~
The vast Seven-Colored Realm Sea rapidly shrunk, eventually transforming into a thumb-sized droplet that landed in Li Yuan's palm.
Li Yuan reached out, quickly imprinting a life mark on its origin, and immediately, a flood of information surged into his mind.
'Amazing,' Li Yuan thought.
'It's no wonder it's a high-level Dao Treasure praised by even the Divine Kings.' Li Yuan felt delighted.
In reality, among the over a thousand treasures Li Yuan had acquired from the Dao Treasure Mountain, many were of comparable value to the Seven-Colored Realm Sea.
However, either the functions of these treasures overlapped with Li Yuan's existing possessions, or their usage was too challenging.
Only the Seven-Colored Realm Sea was quite suitable.
'The seven colors of the Seven-Colored Realm Sea represent the Seven Fundamental Laws, and its origin is engraved with complete secret patterns of the fundamental laws,' Li Yuan thought. 'Only by comprehending these laws thoroughly can I unleash its full power.'
This requirement was incredibly challenging.
Almost no Celestial Gods could achieve this... But after comprehending the complete Spatial Law, a Celestial God could gradually understand all the fundamental laws by giving birth to myriad paths.
However, most Divine Kings had better treasures, and they didn't need the Seven-Colored Realm Sea.
But for Li Yuan, this treasure was quite suitable.
'With my Source Auxiliary Celestial God realm, I have a good chance of comprehending the Seven Fundamental Laws,' Li Yuan thought. 'Then, I can perfectly control the Seven-Colored Realm Sea, and combined with my domain technique, the Ten Thousand Stars River, its domain strength might even rival the Divine Kings' domain abilities.'
Additionally, another significant advantage of the Seven-Colored Realm Sea as a Dao Treasure was that—Li Yuan could use it even at the Demigod Realm.
'For offensive weapons, I have the Divine King-level secret treasure, the Silver Moon Divine Spear.'
'For domain techniques, I have the Seven-Colored Realm Sea.'
'For soul techniques, I have the Dream Realm Stone, which will suffice for now.'
'For armor, after returning from the Immortal Burial Ancient Domain, I'll go to the Fiery Star Domain to retrieve the Ten Thousand Dragons Divine Armor.' Li Yuan thought, 'And I'll use Heart Dream Coins to purchase some True Artifacts.'
'That's enough.'
'Even compared to many with deep cultivation, my combat treasures are not inferior. They will suffice for a long time,' Li Yuan thought with satisfaction.
...
With everything prepared, Li Yuan sent a message to the Ling Wei Celestial God and quietly left Source Mars.
Whoosh!
Flying out of the Star Gate, Li Yuan arrived in the starry sky outside Source Mars, a vast and boundless Chaos Continent below.
},
{
"tool_name": "Celestial God",
"tool_action": "waiting"
}
]
Not far away, a Celestial God with a powerful aura was waiting.
'Blade Demon Celestial God,' Li Yuan flew forward.
The newcomer was none other than the Blade Demon Celestial God who had escorted Li Yuan from the Black River Star Domain to the Purple Star Domain.
'Junior Brother, we meet again,' the Blade Demon Celestial God smiled. 'Congratulations, Junior Brother. Soon, you will ignite the Divine Flame, achieve godhood, and fulfill the Master's command. I've come to escort you.'
'It's a bother,' Li Yuan said.
After leaving Source Mars, Li Yuan naturally informed Winter Blaze Divine King, who sent a message asking Li Yuan to meet him.
'Follow me,' the Blade Demon Celestial God said with a smile. With a thought, his Celestial power spread out, enveloping Li Yuan, and together they entered the Perception Star Imperial Palace.
This was Li Yuan's first time entering the Perception Star Imperial Palace, which was filled with countless towering palaces.
At a glance, there were over ten thousand of them.
Li Yuan understood that each palace represented a Celestial God.
The Chaos Divine Court had an expansive domain, and even in the Black River Star Domain, where they only occupied part of the 'Great Stone Divine Nation,' there were two Celestial Gods.
And in the completely occupied Eight Hundred Star Domain, without internal strife, the Celestial Gods had accumulated over time, and their numbers had grown.
There were also many Celestial Gods who didn't want to rule over domains, choosing instead to stay in the Divine Court headquarters for secluded cultivation.
Throughout the entire Chaos Divine Court, the number of Celestial Gods was in the tens of thousands.
The two arrived inside a palace, and as the space transformed, the interior revealed a vast world.
Within this world, apart from the towering figure of Winter Blaze Divine King, there was another figure emitting endless flames, but their appearance was blurred, making it difficult to discern their true features.
'Such a formidable aura, another Divine King?' Li Yuan wondered, unafraid.
Li Yuan's perception ability was now nearly on par with a Celestial God, and he could sense the strength of Divine King auras.
Compared to the 'Perception Star Divine Emperor' he had encountered before and the Divine Emperor he had witnessed in action, the auras of the two Divine Kings before him were noticeably weaker.
'Senior Brother, I've brought Li Yuan,' the Blade Demon Celestial God said respectfully.
'Senior Brother,' Li Yuan also greeted respectfully.
'Hmm,' Winter Blaze Divine King's voice rumbled. He slowly rose to a half-seated position and said in a deep voice, 'Junior Brother, this is Flame Illusion Divine King.'
'Flame Illusion Divine King?' Li Yuan was slightly surprised.
'Li Yuan, is this our first meeting?' Flame Illusion Divine King's voice was pleasant. 'I haven't seen you before, but now, as you're about to achieve godhood and roam the divine realms, I should give you a gift.'
