Chapter 710 Prey? Hunter! (6K)

"A Quasi-Saint of the Heart Source? Are you sure it's him?"

"We, thousands of Quasi-Saints, have been searching for him for over two thousand years, and no one has found him. Yet we've stumbled upon him? How lucky are we?" The two Quasi-Saints traveling with us were somewhat incredulous.

"It's him! It's definitely him!"

“As you should know, I have fought with him before and am very familiar with his soul aura.” Quasi-Saint Xu Yao gritted his teeth and said, “There is no mistake, it is him… He just appeared out of thin air, he must have just come out of some divine palace.”

"It seems that the reason we haven't been able to find him for over two thousand years is just as the Quasi-Saints of Planet had guessed: he must have been in a divine palace all along."

Back then, he was forced to use the Time-Space Treasure by the combined forces of Li Yuan and Di Kun, and even now, Quasi-Saint Xu Yao still feels heartache.

After the Qingxian Saint Ancestor and the Yushan Saint Ancestor issued the kill order, many Quasi-Saints from Immortal Spirit Star City rushed over... After Quasi-Saint Xuyao ​​returned his own spacetime treasures to Star City, this true form returned again.

He longed for revenge.

"If you come out of the shrine alive, wouldn't you have obtained a treasure?"

"Not to mention other treasures, the imperial weapon that Quasi-Saint Xinyuan carries with him is already very precious." Quasi-Saint Xuyao's words made the two Quasi-Saints beside him excited.

Being able to accompany Quasi-Saint Xu Yao on this mission, both of them are also fifth-order Quasi-Saints.

“Zhenyun, Lingqi…we need to be careful.” Quasi-Saint Xuyao ​​said in a low voice, “Given the growth rate of Quasi-Saint Xinyuan, who hasn’t been seen for over two thousand years, his strength has probably improved again. We should send a message to the other Quasi-Saints.”

Although he longed for revenge, Xu Yao was very cautious.

But he just finished speaking.

"He escaped."

“Xin Yuan has escaped… Xu Yao, stop guessing, let’s hurry and chase after him, don’t let him get away.” Zhen Yun Quasi-Saint and Ling Qi Quasi-Saint said in unison.

Boom! Boom! In an instant, the two of them transformed into two streaks of light, rushing towards the direction Li Yuan had fled.

"Escape?"

"Even Xinyuan doesn't dare to fight us?" When it was Xu Yao's turn to be stunned, a doubt flashed through his mind: "Could it be that I guessed wrong, and Xinyuan's strength hasn't improved much in the past two thousand years?"

"It seems I was being too cautious."

"That's true. With normal cultivation, let alone two thousand years, even two hundred thousand years, how much change could there be?"

Without further hesitation, Xu Yao, the Quasi-Saint, also transformed into a stream of light and gave chase.

"Xinyuan, don't run away!" Quasi-Saint Xu Yao soared into the sky, continuously transmitting his voice: "Hand over all the treasures, and I'll give you a quick death."

……

The three Quasi-Saints were in hot pursuit, while Li Yuan was frantically fleeing ahead with a 'panic' expression, but in reality, he was quite calm.

"As soon as I came out, I ran into three Quasi-Saints from the Celestial Court, one of whom was an old acquaintance."

"Looking across the entire Hundred Gods Palace, how many Quasi-Saints from the Celestial Court must there be? And many more are probably guarding the Divine Wheel Sea," Li Yuan thought to himself.

There are three routes to enter the Palace of a Hundred Gods. The most common is the spatial vortex beneath the Hundred Divine Wheels. The other two routes are located in the Sea of ​​Divine Wheels and are more dangerous...

However, once you leave the Hundred Gods Palace, there are many exits. As long as you enter any of the spatial springs, you will randomly appear in various places in the Divine Wheel Sea.

Therefore, if we want to be absolutely sure of stopping Li Yuan, we must also send a large number of Quasi-Saints to patrol the Divine Wheel Sea... The total number of Quasi-Saints must be astonishing.

"The Celestial Court paid such a high price to kill two of my true forms. How could I let you down?" A cold glint flashed in the depths of Li Yuan's eyes.

If the Celestial Court stops provoking him, Li Yuan won't bother deliberately causing trouble for them.

As time passed and he entered the God King realm, Li Yuan's vision broadened, and he no longer cared about some things from the past.

However, the Celestial Court has targeted him time and time again. Even a clay figure has some temper, let alone Li Yuan.

"I am afraid!"

"No matter how high the Celestial Court's expectations were, they couldn't have imagined my current strength. After all, if I hadn't reached the God-King realm and had only just stepped into the second stage of the World Dao, my current strength in direct combat wouldn't even be comparable to a sixth-tier Quasi-Saint." Li Yuan thought to himself, "But in reality? If I unleash my full power, it will only scare away a large number of Quasi-Saints from the Celestial Court..."

"Take it easy."

"First, attract them all... then unleash your full power and slaughter them all." Li Yuan's eyes were icy: "Those Quasi-Saints who dare to come to the Divine Wheel Sea to hunt me down should at least be fourth-order Quasi-Saints. Even if they don't carry any treasures, the value of a normal God-King weapon is generally not low."

Having previously purchased imperial weapons and a large amount of auxiliary cultivation resources, Li Yuan has essentially exhausted all the resources he has accumulated since becoming a Celestial God.

He had very few Eternal Crystals left on his body.

However, the body-refining method of the "Hundred Paths Sacred Body" that Li Yuan is about to cultivate requires a large number of rare treasures, and Li Yuan is currently lacking treasures and eternal crystals.

Perfect, we can make up for it by taking it from the powerful figures of the Celestial Court.

Whoosh!
Li Yuan flew forward at a speed that was just slightly faster than that of Zhenyun Quasi-Saint, the fastest of the three Quasi-Saints.

Zhenyun Quasi-Saint and the others immediately became anxious.

"I can't fly as fast as him."

"His strength has improved; at least his flight speed is faster than the intelligence reports. The rate of improvement is truly frightening," Quasi-Saint Xu Yao concluded.

“At this rate, we won’t be able to catch up. Once he escapes to some spatial spring and leaves the Hundred Gods Palace, it will be troublesome to find him again… Someone has to be able to stop him,” Ling Qi, a Quasi-Saint, said hurriedly.

"Quickly, send a message to the other Quasi-Saints to confirm his location and intercept him in front of them."

"Send a message." Quasi-Saint Xu Yao and Quasi-Saint Zhen Yun did not hesitate to send a message. They really wanted to capture Li Yuan on their own, which would be a great achievement and they would be directly awarded an imperial weapon by the higher-ups.

But seeing that they couldn't catch up, they naturally had to settle for second best.

As those who reported, they had already done a great service.

……

"A Quasi-Saint of the Heart Source has been discovered?"

"quick!"

"His location coordinates have been sent by Quasi-Saint Xu Yao and the others. Go and surround him immediately!"

"Go! Chase after them!" Within a very short time, the more than a thousand Quasi-Saints within the Hundred Gods Palace of the Celestial Court received the news and immediately sprang into action...

Over the long years, the passageways of the Palace of a Hundred Gods may change continuously, but only on a time scale of a hundred years.

For a short period of time, the locations of many passageways within the Palace of a Hundred Gods were fixed. Therefore, when the great saints of the Celestial Court communicated with each other, they all knew the location of each passageway and communicated with each other.

In just a few seconds, they all located Li Yuan's position.

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!
A large number of quasi-saints from the Celestial Court quickly arrived along the various passages, intending to surround and block Li Yuan.

soon.

"Quasi-Saint Xinyuan is there! Charge! Suppress him!" Two more Quasi-Saints rushed through a passage, their auras extremely powerful, and charged towards Li Yuan.

"two?"

"Unidentifiable. Judging from its flight speed and life force, it should be a fifth-tier Quasi-Saint." Li Yuan glanced around. "It poses no threat to me; I could probably kill it in one or two moves."

boom!
Li Yuan's flight speed suddenly increased dramatically, transforming into a streak of light as he narrowly escaped the obstruction of the two Quasi-Saints.

"Damn it!"

"He was actually hiding his true strength just now?"

"Such a fast flight speed! It's at least 30% faster than before. Such a flight speed is top-notch even among fifth-tier quasi-saints." Quasi-saint Zhenyun and the others, as well as the two quasi-saints who had just arrived, were all somewhat shocked by this scene.

"Hahaha!"

As Li Yuan fled, his mocking voice echoed through the passage through spatial fluctuations: "Fools of the Celestial Court? You think you can catch me? You're dreaming."

"asshole!"

"Quickly! Spread the message and block him from other directions!" Quasi-Saint Xu Yao and Quasi-Saint Zhen Yun were becoming increasingly furious.

Immediately, the five quasi-saints spread the latest information.

……"What?"

"A Quasi-Saint of Heart Source flying at such a speed? His strength has indeed improved."

"Quickly, at least ten fifth-tier quasi-saints should join forces to directly guard the spatial springs along the way and prevent him from escaping in." In the distant Immortal Court headquarters, both the Azure Immortal Saint Ancestor and the Feather Mountain Saint Ancestor received the news and immediately issued the order.

"Continue to surround and block the other quasi-saints."

……

Time passed second by second inside the Palace of a Hundred Gods.

"Xin Yuan, stay!" A woman in white, surrounded by halos of light, manipulated a large seal to block Li Yuan's path at the end of the passage.

The seal suddenly enlarged and blocked the road.

"Blocking me?"

"Get out of my way!" Li Yuan roared, flipping his palm to take out the Hundred Tribulations Spear. The vast imperial might spread out, the blood-red spear body rapidly enlarged, and countless Dao patterns flowed on the spear tip, as if a vast world had descended with a thunderous roar. Its speed was also extremely fast, directly striking the large seal.

"Boom!"

The seal was blasted backward by the spear, and then another dazzling spear light attacked the woman in white, frightening her into repeatedly maneuvering the seal back to defend.

"idiot!"

Li Yuan sneered, and with a thought, a vast domain descended, instantly slowing the speed of the large seal. Then, the spear light swept past the white-clad woman's body, and the terrifying impact penetrated her battle armor, causing her body to shatter layer by layer, resulting in severe injury.

Whoosh!
But Li Yuan seemed to be too late to kill her, and he dashed past the white-clad woman's obstruction and rushed into another fork in the road.

"What terrifying marksmanship."

"His strength is definitely at the top level of the fifth rank." The woman in white was filled with shock and lingering fear.

Although her strength was not as good as that of Quasi-Saints like Xu Yao, she was still barely at the level of a fifth-tier Quasi-Saint.

But he was suppressed in two moves?

This shows that the difference in their strength is quite obvious.

……

This news was quickly spread by the woman in white, further shocking the many quasi-saints who were pursuing them.

"Material attack has reached the top level of the fifth rank? When he fought against Quasi-Saint Xu Yao and the others, he was only powerful in terms of domain, and his material attack was not that scary. In just two thousand years, he has reached this level?"

"This growth rate is far too fast."

"Truly worthy of being called the Source of the Heart."

“His physical attacks are powerful, his flight speed is extremely fast, and he is skilled in domains... and don’t forget, he has two true bodies.” Many quasi-saints found this troublesome.

Inside the Palace of a Hundred Gods, the passageways are interconnected, and with such strength, it would be too difficult for them to completely block them.

"The fourteen sixth-order quasi-saints in the Hundred Gods Palace are on their way there."

"As long as a sixth-order quasi-saint arrives, he can be suppressed."

"The other Quasi-Saints should also immediately form teams and join forces; there is still hope of stopping them." Qingxian Saint Ancestor and Yushan Saint Ancestor quickly issued the order.

This time, the Celestial Court dispatched nearly two thousand Quasi-Saints, all of whom were powerful Quasi-Saints, with as many as eighteen reaching the sixth rank.

Four are stationed in the Sea of ​​Divine Wheel.

At this moment, there are fourteen sixth-tier quasi-saints in the Hundred Gods Palace, plus over a thousand fourth-tier and fifth-tier quasi-saints... This is an absolutely luxurious lineup, completely comparable to the quasi-saint combat power of the entire Chaos Palace.

At this moment, many sixth-order quasi-saints are rushing over.

...Not long after, a terrifying battle broke out behind a rather wide passage. The hazy starlight spread out, and the overwhelming barrage of weapons bombarded from afar, shattering countless starlight.

"Don't run away!"

"Xinyuan, give up."

“You have been completely cornered by us. Your domain is indeed powerful, but with more than thirty Quasi-Saints working together, we can easily destroy it.” One Quasi-Saint from the Celestial Court transmitted their voices.

Inside the passage, more than thirty Quasi-Saints were frantically attacking Li Yuan, engaging in close combat or ranged attacks, repeatedly blocking his path.

Further out on both sides of the passage, there were even more than ten Quasi-Saints who did not participate in the battle, but were specifically guarding the passage.

It can be described as foolproof.

Li Yuan, on the other hand, was like an insect trapped in a spider web; the more he struggled, the tighter he was bound, and the less room he had to move.

boom!
boom!
With each lightning-fast collision, Li Yuan desperately defended against the attacks with his divine spear, but a scene that left many quasi-saints of the Celestial Court dumbfounded unfolded... No matter how they attacked, it seemed they could hardly harm Li Yuan.

"Such strong physical defense?"

"I'm afraid it's comparable to a sixth-tier quasi-saint, but that's an exaggeration."

"No wonder he's so arrogant." These quasi-saints were all amazed. Even though Li Yuan was an enemy, they had to admit his strength.

Below the sixth-tier Quasi-Saint level, Li Yuan's displayed strength was top-notch, with powerful methods in all aspects.

"However, he's doomed."

"Ah."

"With more than fifty Quasi-Saints joining forces, including nearly twenty Fifth-Order Quasi-Saints, we completely suppressed them with a single combined attack."

"If it weren't for his superior skill in the field and his incredibly agile flight, we would have captured him long ago."

"But capturing him is only a matter of time." The dozens of Quasi-Saints of the Celestial Court felt that the overall situation was already settled, and as time went by, Li Yuan was already in grave danger.

boom!
Beside Li Yuan, another figure appeared out of thin air. World particles flowed like a river in his palm, followed by an explosion of countless world particles that transformed into layers of illusory worlds, enveloping all directions.

A moment!

The dozen or so Quasi-Saints who were pursuing them in close combat were completely enveloped by that vast and mighty boundary river.

"It's that sealed-off secret technique."

"His other true form has finally been revealed."

"Quickly, a coordinated attack!" Quasi-Saint Zhenyun transmitted his voice repeatedly. The other Quasi-Saints of the Celestial Court were also on high alert and reacted extremely quickly.

"Boom! Boom!"
The void river was also shaking violently, and it showed signs of destruction in less than a second.

"His sealing technique has also become stronger."

"It's a pipe dream to think that you can suppress more than ten of us Quasi-Saints in one go! Our combined attack is enough to cause the sealed space to collapse."

"He can't stop him."

After Li Yuan revealed his second true form, the Quasi-Saint of the Celestial Court was not surprised but delighted, which meant that Li Yuan had not left any backup plan... and the Void River was not enough to influence the battle.

"Wow~"

The Void River narrowed, releasing many Quasi-Saints, but they were still blasted apart by the overwhelming attacks of the Quasi-Saints... Li Yuan's two true forms were fully revealed.

"kill!"

"Suppress him!"

"Xin Yuan, give up resisting!" many quasi-saints from the Celestial Court shouted, convinced that Li Yuan had no stronger means left.

boom! boom! boom!
Suddenly, powerful auras began to emanate from both sides of the passage, followed by figures flying in from both sides... These were the Quasi-Saints of the Celestial Court who had arrived one after another.

The newly arrived Quasi-Saints of the Celestial Court numbered over sixty, a truly astonishing number.

"The Quasi-Saint Fengming has arrived."

"Guang Hong Quasi-Saint has also arrived." The other Quasi-Saints of the Celestial Court quickly recognized the two leaders as sixth-order Quasi-Saints.

The sixth-order quasi-saint has finally arrived.

"It's the source of the heart!"

"They haven't been captured yet?"

"Haha, let's capture Heart Source quickly before the planet arrives."

"His physical defense is so strong, I suspect he has another physical defense imperial weapon. If we capture him, we can each take one of the two imperial weapons."

"Alright." Fengming Quasi-Saint and Guanghong Quasi-Saint, who thought the great battle was over, suddenly brightened up and were instantly tempted.

He charged straight at Li Yuan.

……

"Damn it! If you're so capable, fight one-on-one. All your Celestial Court can do is rely on numbers." Li Yuan was still roaring angrily, struggling to defend himself.

"Haha, how naive."

“Even in a one-on-one fight, Guanghong and I can defeat you,” Fengming Quasi-Saint sneered, feeling a cat-and-mouse thrill.

He felt very pleased to have captured such a peerless genius.

But actually.

Despite appearing flustered and disheveled in the face of attacks from over a hundred quasi-saints, Li Yuan remained remarkably calm.

"almost."

"Two sixth-tier Quasi-Saints, more than thirty fifth-tier Quasi-Saints, and the rest are at least fourth-tier Quasi-Saints." Li Yuan silently calculated in his heart: "That's about enough, don't be greedy."

If it continues to be delayed...

If more sixth-order quasi-saints from the Celestial Court were to gather, Li Yuan wouldn't be absolutely certain of killing them... After all, his realm in the Dao debate was lower than that of these sixth-order quasi-saints.

At that time, accidents could easily happen.

Now? Perfect timing!
"town!"

"Void River!" The true form of Li Yuan, who was manipulating the River of Worlds, had only used one percent of his divine power until it finally erupted completely.

That berserk divine power, comparable to that of an Emperor, erupted completely.

boom!
The Void River, which had been shattered by the overwhelming attack, suddenly surged in power, and each world particle seemed to transform from a plastic ball into an iron ball.

"Boom!" Countless world particles swirled and surged, unstoppable, instantly suppressing hundreds of high-speed flying god-king weapons.

Wow~
Within a radius of tens of millions of kilometers, countless world projections appeared, each containing astonishing binding force.

Whether they were participating in the battle or were quasi-saints observing from afar, without exception, they were all bound by the world projection that appeared out of nowhere.

Immediately afterwards, they were completely enveloped by the sweeping void river.

"what?"

"not good!"

"What kind of field is this? I can't fly anymore."

"What's going on?" The more than one hundred Quasi-Saints of the Celestial Court were almost all dumbfounded... Although the speed of a fifth-order Quasi-Saint was reduced by 90%, he could still fly.

Even a fourth-tier Quasi-Saint could hardly move under such terrifying pressure.

"It is the sealing domain of the Quasi-Saint of the Heart Source."

"How can he be so strong?" Even the previously composed Quasi-Saints Fengming and Guanghong were completely shocked. As sixth-order Quasi-Saints, their vision was extremely high.

"The space was completely sealed off."

"How can his domain technique cover such a vast area? In the Immortal Realm, a Quasi-Saint's domain technique usually only covers a million kilometers." Most of the Quasi-Saints panicked.

"The power is too strong."

"Even Qi Xiu's domain shouldn't be this strong," Feng Ming Quasi-Saint repeatedly transmitted his voice. "This Heart Source Quasi-Saint actually possesses such power?"

Qi Xiu is among the top ten sixth-tier quasi-saints in the Celestial Court, and is most skilled in domain sealing.

“We have already been separated.” Guang Hong, the Quasi-Saint, was also anxious: “Now, we are all in different sealed spaces and cannot support each other. Xin Yuan, the Quasi-Saint, can kill us one by one.”

"hurry up."

"Regardless of the reason, all Quasi-Saints, attack simultaneously and break through this sealing domain," Quasi-Saint Fengming transmitted repeatedly.

Li Yuan's sealing domain could only trap these quasi-saints and prevent them from joining forces and helping each other, but it could not prevent them from communicating... After all, these quasi-saints of the Celestial Court still had their true bodies outside.

"quick!"

"Joint attack!"

"Attack!" In an instant, an overwhelming barrage of attacks erupted from all directions of this vast void river, attempting to blast the entire river to its destruction.

The void river trembled continuously, but ultimately it held on.

"what?"

"this!"

"Even with over a hundred Quasi-Saints joining forces, we still can't break through?" Quasi-Saints Guanghong and Fengming were incredulous, while the other Quasi-Saints were even more shocked and panicked.

"This is the realm of the Emperor!" A hint of fear flashed in the eyes of Quasi-Saint Guang Hong.

He was right.

In terms of Dao level, Li Yuan is still a whole level below a normal Emperor Realm... but what he has created is the World Dao of his most proficient domain, and it also incorporates the mysteries of the Dao of Myriad Spirits.

While Lingdao's abilities still lag behind those of a sixth-tier Quasi-Saint, they are no longer as exaggerated.

At the same time, the ultimate skill "Unity of Heaven and Earth" that Li Yuan comprehended perfectly matched the River of the World, making up for this shortcoming once again... Most importantly, Li Yuan's divine body and divine power were at the true Emperor level.

The combination of these factors has made Li Yuan's domain so powerful that it can be considered a realm of divine power.

"Unleashing my full power, it's truly exhilarating." Li Yuan's true form manipulated the River of Worlds, transforming it into a vast and mighty boundary river.

Transform into the world! Suppress with all your might!
"In terms of power."

“My Void River has acquired a trace of the grandeur of Master Juexing’s ‘Ten Thousand Stars Domain’.” Li Yuan instantly recalled the scene of his master’s battle with the Abyss Ruler.

At the time, I thought that level of combat was unattainable, and that even a trace of its power could annihilate me.

Although we are still not as good as we are now, we have seen hope of getting closer.

"almost."

"Even if a hundred quasi-saints joined forces, it wouldn't be enough to shatter my Void River." Li Yuan's other true form held the Blood Calamity Spear, standing amidst countless flowing world particles.

Where the crimson spear tip touched, space seemed to ripple and separate.

Countless particles in the world seemed to be jumping and cheering.

"They can't break through my sealing domain."

"Then, let's all get going." Li Yuan murmured to himself, his eyes cold, and his powerful and boundless divine aura was no longer concealed.

boom!
Li Yuan took a step forward, easily passing through the sealed space formed by layers of world particles, and directly attacked Guang Hong Quasi-Saint, the strongest among the more than one hundred Quasi-Saints.
