High Martial Arts Era

Chapter 723 Si Wu and Li Yuan

"An envoy from the Supreme Star City of Cold Journey?" Emperor Yunyue's expression darkened slightly. "Did the Supreme Star City mention anything about this?"

“He didn’t say.” The spirit of the formation said, “However, based on a lot of past intelligence, I speculate that it is for the upcoming Abyss Sea Sacrifice trip.”

"Most likely, they want the strong in my Tianluo Star City to obey the orders of Hanxing Supreme Star City."

As the spirit of the Star City formation, it controls all the secret information of Tianluo Star City, and with its powerful calculation ability, it can make predictions about a large number of things.

This speculation has nothing to do with cause and effect or fate; it relies purely on a powerful intelligence database.

"Abyss Sea Sacrifice?" Emperor Yunyue fell into deep thought: "It should be. For a long time before, my Tianluoyu Alliance was nominally affiliated with the Hanxing Supreme camp, but we rarely participated in the conflicts of the Supreme camp. This time, I'm afraid we can't avoid it."

Just like in the Eighth Dark Domain, where the three rulers are constantly vying for power, most of the Emperor-level beings from the many universes in the Dark Domain will choose to join one side.

Even if it's only in name.

Looking at the vast universe, the same principle applies. The five supreme beings possess overwhelming power, not only almost unifying their own dark domains but also exerting a significant influence on other dark domains.

Like Tianluoyu Alliance.

Nominally, they belong to the Hanxing Supreme faction... Of course, Hanxing Supreme is not a strongman of the Eighth Dark Domain, and his control over the Tianluoyu Alliance is almost zero.

None of these are as effective as the Tianluoyu Alliance's control over the Chaos Divine Court.

Even so... unless absolutely necessary, the Tianluo Alliance will not easily offend Supreme Hanxing and his core members.

"Report back to Supreme Star City that our Tianluoyu Alliance will receive you on time," said the Cloud Moon God Emperor. "In addition, send a message to the other elders, as well as the peak Emperor Realm members who are planning to participate in the battle. When the time comes, everyone who can come should come... Also, call the Purple Flame Quasi-Saint and the Qianfeng Quasi-Saint."

"Yes," the spirit of the formation replied.

……

The Eighth Dark Domain now comprises over three hundred universes. Over the long course of time, most of these universes have been in constant cycles of reincarnation, being reborn time and time again.

Each cycle of rebirth strengthens the origin of the universe, and the life forms it gives birth to are often even stronger.

Therefore, over countless years, it is not difficult for most universes to produce an Emperor-level being.

Once an Emperor-level being is born in a realm, it can generally remain stable.

However, occasionally some universes will be completely destroyed due to various special circumstances, but more often, new universes will be born under the operation of the universe's rules.

The Spiritwood Universe is a newly born universe.

Because it is new, it is weak... New universes like this are often the most vulnerable to complete destruction.

At this moment, in a region within the universe.

This vast star city is known as the Myriad Springs Void, and it contains a large number of 'Trees of Life'.

This is where the Pantheon is located.

"These thousands of years."

"The entire world is getting better and better, and more star fields are returning to normal."

"The evil forces that were corrupted within the origin of the Nine Thousand Realms are gradually receding."

"Some of the former desolate star regions are also recovering."

"It seems that the Celestial Court forces from other realms are truly about to retreat completely."

"It's rather strange. Back then, when the Seven Great Dao Ancestors perished and the Nine Thousand Realms were completely conquered by us, the Immortal Courts of the Other Realms were trying to make a comeback. Now, the pressure on us is increasing, and we are almost unable to bear it, but they have retreated again."

"I don't know what happened, but it's a good thing nonetheless." Three figures exuding the aura of gods walked in the void, looking down at the 'Fountain of Life' below.

A great many lives are multiplying within it.

Among these three people, two of them were Si Wu and Pang Ming... The peaceful scene before them brought smiles to their faces.

"It's a pity that Dong Que and the others won't be able to see this scene," Pang Ming sighed.

Si Wu's expression darkened slightly.

More than 40,000 years have passed, and of the elder hall masters who fought alongside the seven Dao Ancestors back then, only he and Pang Ming remain.

After all, a true god can only live for 30,000 years.

Even though the shackles have been broken, of that group of elder hall masters from back then, only he and Pang Ming ultimately entered the Heavenly God Realm.

I've lived to this day.

"Tens of thousands of years have passed, and I wonder how the Seven Star Brothers are doing," said Pang Tian, ​​the God of Heaven. "I wonder if they have become God Kings."

“With his talent, he should have a chance to reach the level of the God of Life,” said the God of the Fifth Heaven.

“Two venerable ancestors.” The black-clad youth standing beside them couldn’t help but say, “Senior Seven Stars is indeed a legendary figure in the history of our Pantheon, but no matter how monstrous he is, he couldn’t possibly become a God-King so quickly.”

"Becoming a God-King is not so easy," said the young man in black.

“Longjin, you don’t understand,” Si Wutianshen smiled. “If you have the chance to meet the Seven Stars in the future, you will understand.”

"Ah."

"I will definitely strive to cultivate into a God King." The black-clad youth 'Long Jin' said in a low voice, "I will go to the world where Senior Seven Stars is located, not only to thank Senior Seven Stars in person, but also to challenge him."

The Five Heavenly Gods and the Giant Heavenly God exchanged a glance and couldn't help but smile helplessly.

The young man in black is the most monstrous genius born in the Pantheon over the past tens of thousands of years. Not only does he possess the Nine Star Vein, but his talent in the laws is also astonishing.

He cultivated for over ten thousand years and became a celestial being.

In terms of strength, the young man in black is now the strongest in the Pantheon, even stronger than the Five Heavenly Gods and the Pangtian God.

His near-invincible talent within his realm also shaped his personality.

He both admired and yearned to rival the legendary 'Seven Demigods' from the history of the Pantheon.

suddenly!

With a whoosh, two special spatial fluctuations instantly traversed an incredibly vast distance and arrived before the Five Heavenly Gods, the Pang Heavenly God, and the Longjin Heavenly God.

"Who?" The Heavenly God Longjin's face was cold. With a thought, a wave of Dao intent spread out, instantly covering an area of ​​one million kilometers in radius.

Suppress everything.

As a fourth-tier Celestial God, he was extremely confident in this world.

But this time.

Faced with these two unusual spacetime fluctuations, his suppression methods failed... Two phantom figures appeared out of thin air in front of them.

One of them, dressed in green, had a cold expression and an ethereal aura. He was an immortal being. Even though he did not contain any magical power, his aura alone was enough to suffocate the three celestial gods.

The other person was wearing black armor and had a much weaker aura, but he had a smile on his face.

"They are merely projections of consciousness."

"They pose no threat to us."

"These two seem to be terrifying beings, possibly at the level of God-Kings."

"That figure in blue robes must be very strong as well." Longjin Heavenly God, Pangming Heavenly God, and Siwu Heavenly God all reacted instantly.

The true forms of the two illusory figures before us could perhaps be annihilated with a single thought.

but!

This is the Spiritwood Universe, the Myriad Springs Void; they are not afraid of each other.

"May I ask who you two are?" Si Wutian asked, bowing slightly.

"Black Stone God King, these three should be the three leaders of the native inhabitants of the Spiritwood Universe." The figure in blue said indifferently.

His cold gaze swept over Si Wutian and the other two.

As an Emperor Realm expert, how precious is his time in the universe? He would never have descended with his consciousness projection if the Immortal Emperor had not personally given the order.

"Thank you for your trouble, Celestial Ancestor Qingxian," Black Stone God King said with a smile.

Although the Chaos Divine Court and the Immortal Court were at odds and even somewhat hostile, now that they had made peace on the surface, he naturally wouldn't give the Azure Immortal Ancestor a hard time.

The other party was ultimately an Emperor Realm expert.

"Three."

"I am the 'Black Stone God King' from the Chaos God Court." The Black Stone God King laughed, "This is the Azure Immortal Saint Ancestor from the Celestial Court, an Emperor Realm being... He is the mastermind behind the attempts to infiltrate your Spirit Wood Universe for hundreds of millions of years."

"He is also one of the highest-ranking members of the Celestial Court."

The Blackrock God-King spoke casually.

However, the expressions of Si Wutian, Longjintian, and Pangtiantian had all changed, their eyes fixed on Qingxian Saint Ancestor, revealing an undisguised killing intent.

The mastermind behind it all?

The culprit who wants to destroy the entire universe? The instigator who turned star fields into dead zones?
Yet, a sense of powerlessness arose in the hearts of the three of them. Emperor Realm? They were also gods, according to the many ancient texts and messages left by the God of Life.

They also understood what the concepts of God Emperor and Emperor Realm meant.

Those are beings that surpass even the God-King... In the entire history of the Spiritwood Universe, there has never been such a great being.

"Hate me?"

"You want to kill me?" The Azure Immortal Ancestor's expression remained indifferent, showing neither joy nor sorrow.

Let alone the hatred of three gods, even the hatred of three thousand or thirty thousand gods would hardly stir a ripple in his heart.

“This time, I am here on behalf of the Chaos Divine Court.” The Black Stone God-King could naturally sense the emotional fluctuations of the three gods, and solemnly said, “The main purpose is to inform you.”

"After consultation with the leaders of my Chaos Divine Court, the Chaos God Emperor and the Lord of the Heart Source Palace," the Black Stone God King paused, "and the highest leader of the Celestial Court, the Celestial Emperor, it has been decided that the Celestial Court will abandon its invasion of the Spirit Wood Universe, and the Azure Immortal Ancestor will soon withdraw the last trace of its corrosive power."

"from now on."

"Your Spiritwood Universe will be protected by my Chaos Divine Court, so you will have nothing to worry about. Before long, the entire Universe will return to normal." The Five Heavenly Gods, the Golden Heavenly God, and the Great Heavenly God were all stunned.

Did the Celestial Court abandon its invasion?

Protected by the Chaos Divine Court?
They weren't stupid; they immediately understood why the Celestial Court's power to erode the origins of the Nine Thousand Realms had been waning for the past few thousand years.

It's likely that the Chaos Divine Court was behind it all.

"Black Stone God King".

"Now that I've delivered the message, I'm leaving," said the Azure Immortal Ancestor coldly. His phantom vanished with a bang, leaving only the phantom of the Black Stone God King.

The Blackrock God-King smiled helplessly.

He has no way to control an Emperor Realm expert.

"This Black Stone God... Senior Black Stone," Si Wutian God hurriedly inquired, "What exactly is going on? Who are the Chaos God Emperor, the Heart Source Palace Master, and the Immortal Emperor?"

He was filled with excitement and joy, for they were finally about to escape the invasion of the Celestial Court.

It was also filled with doubt and fear.

Why would these legendary, great beings pay attention to the Spiritwood Universe? And what will the Chaos Divine Court's attitude be?

"You must be the Five Heavenly Gods," the Black Stone God King laughed. "Before I came, the Palace Master of Heart Source Palace specifically instructed me to do so."

“Yes.” Si Wutian nodded, his doubts growing.

"The Chaos God Emperor was the founder of my Chaos God Court," the Black Stone God King patiently explained. "The Immortal Emperor was also an Emperor-level being."

"Both of them are super beings in the Emperor Realm, and they are absolutely at the pinnacle in the entire Dark Domain."

"And the Lord of the Heart Source Palace... is a peerless god-king whose fame is renowned throughout the vast universe. In terms of reputation, he is in no way inferior to the Chaos God Emperor and the Immortal Emperor." The Black Stone God King laughed, "The fact that your Spirit Wood Universe was able to escape the crisis of invasion this time is also one of the conditions for the reconciliation between the Lord of the Heart Source Palace and the Immortal Emperor."

Both Si Wutian and Pang Tian were quite shocked by what they heard.

It sounds like a deal between several great beings.

“That’s not right.” Longjin Heavenly God couldn’t help but say, “Senior Black Stone, according to you, this Heart Source Palace Master is only a God King. How could he possibly converse with two peak beings in the Emperor Realm?”

"Haha."

"The Lord of Heart Source Palace is indeed only a God King, but among the countless God Kings in the vast universe, he stands at the very peak and is comparable to an Emperor Realm being." The Black Stone God King laughed, "Most importantly, the Lord of Heart Source Palace has only cultivated for a few thousand years."

He is widely recognized as the greatest genius in the universe today.

“He is naturally qualified to be ranked alongside the Chaos God Emperor and the Immortal Emperor.” The Black Stone God King smiled and said, “By the way, the reason why the Heart Source Palace Master helped you is because he once roamed the Spirit Wood Universe… At that time, he used the alias ‘Seven Stars’.”

Si Wu and Pang Ming were stunned.

Seven stars?

Back then, that genius demigod from another land who single-handedly saved the entire Pantheon and gave hope to their universe... became the legendary God-King in just a few thousand years?
Or is he capable of rivaling a peerless god-king at the Emperor Realm?
This! What kind of talent is this?
"Seven Stars? Heart Source? You really haven't forgotten?" Scenes from tens of thousands of years ago flashed through Si Wutian's mind.

That was the decisive battle he fought alongside Li Yuan back then.

Together we will sweep away the nine thousand realms.

And the scene of seeing Li Yuan off... Back then, Li Yuan had said that he would find a way to help the Spirit Wood Universe completely get rid of the crisis.

Has it really been achieved?
The Heavenly God Longjin, standing to the side, was not only shocked but also somewhat apprehensive. Not long ago, he had even considered challenging the 'Seven Star Senior'.

"Si Wu".

"The Heart Source Palace Master has instructed that some basic inheritances from my Chaos Divine Court will be sent here so that your Spirit Wood Universe can grow stronger more quickly and give birth to a God King or even a God Emperor belonging to your universe." The Black Stone God King smiled and said, "In addition, this is the Heart Source Palace Master's 'Karma Token,' which you can send a message to the Heart Source Palace Master directly."

call!
Black Stone God King waved his hand, and instantly a large amount of invisible fluctuations condensed, forming a phantom crystal, which landed in front of the Five Heavenly Gods.

Si Wutian reached out and took it, immediately feeling waves of invisible energy enveloping him.

Somewhere.

It was as if a subtle connection had been established with an existence in the endless distance of time and space.

"Thank you, Senior Xie Heishi."

"Please also convey my gratitude to Palace Master Xinyuan. I will never forget the kindness you have shown to my Spirit Wood Universe." Si Wutian said respectfully. He did not send a message to Li Yuan, as he knew that the friendship from back then had changed.

The two sides are no longer equal.

Only by recognizing our own shortcomings and lowering our expectations can this friendship continue.

"Yes, I will pass it on." Black Stone God King nodded, knowing that Li Yuan valued the Five Heavenly Gods the most.

soon.

The Black Stone God-King's avatar dissipated.

……

Within the Dream Realm of the Heart, in the Palace of Awakening Stars.

"After hundreds of years, the eroding power of the Celestial Court has finally completely withdrawn from the Spiritwood Universe." One of Li Yuan's true forms has long been stationed here.

His gaze was fixed on the distance, as if he were seeing everything happening in the Spirit Wood Universe through endless, distant time and space.

As an existence comparable to the Emperor Realm, he could sense the presence of the Five Heavenly Gods through the unseen cause and effect.

"To resolve the crisis in the Spiritwood Universe."

"This can be considered settling a karmic debt," Li Yuan thought to himself.

He has been cultivating himself all the way, and he has done all the things that have been kind to him and all the promises he made.

Li Yuan will repay the debts of gratitude and karma once he has sufficient strength.

This applies to Dongfang Ji, Fang Hai, and others.

The same applies to Jiang Yuan and others.

Back in the Spirit Wood Universe, Li Yuan received the blessing of the Life God King and was able to awaken the perfect ten-star veins. He once promised to completely save the Spirit Wood Universe, and now he has enough strength.

We should certainly put it into practice.

“In normal universe timeline, only four thousand years have passed.” Li Yuan thought to himself, “Forty thousand years have passed in the Spirit Wood Universe… Qingxian Saint Ancestor really went to great lengths to obtain this Universe Heart.”

The flow of time within each of the various universes varies, but the difference is usually small, generally not exceeding one percent.

Such a unique phenomenon is the flow of time in the Spirit Wood Universe.

It was all caused by human intervention... As a newly formed universe, its origin was too weak, and crucially, it didn't even have a single Emperor-level being.

Meanwhile, the Azure Immortal Ancestor used a special treasure bestowed by the Immortal Emperor to erode and accelerate the aging of the Spirit Wood Universe, attempting to force it into the cycle of reincarnation as soon as possible.

His ultimate goal was that 'Heart of the Universe'.

"Now, everything is back to normal."

"Once the origin of the Spirit Wood Universe is completely stabilized, the flow of time throughout the entire universe should return to normal," Li Yuan thought to himself.

“However, if the Azure Immortal Ancestor truly obtains the Heart of the Universe, he should be able to create another small universe.” Li Yuan thought to himself, “Then the number of small universes in the Immortal Court will increase to 14.”

The Celestial Court possesses an extremely vast universe, no less than the Dream Universe.

There are also 13 minor universes, all of which were continuously opened up by the numerous imperial realms of the Celestial Court, with each containing anywhere from several hundred to over a thousand star fields.

They all belong to the weakest category of universes, yet they can still nurture a large number of life forms and rare treasures.

Over the long years, the power of the Celestial Court has continued to grow stronger.

"According to what Xiaomu said."

"The Immortal Emperor obtained the Book of Immortals from the ancient Heavenly Court... This is a very strange and powerful treasure." Li Yuan pondered, "And according to the spirit of the Emperor's Divine Palace, if one can become a 'Heavenly General' with the help of the Book of Immortals, one can possess strength surpassing that of a ruler?"

"Could it be."

"Is ordering his subordinates to create one universe after another the path for an Immortal Emperor to become a Heavenly General of the Ancient Heavenly Court?" Li Yuan wondered to himself.

He didn't pay much attention to the Immortal Emperor.

The other party may have a plan, but at least for now, they pose no threat to me. Even if they become a heavenly general, it has nothing to do with me.

"When I am strong enough."

"Whatever their plans are, whether they're from the Heavenly Court or not, they won't affect me in the slightest," Li Yuan thought to himself.

"Continue practicing."

"In a little longer, the seven true bodies in the Immortal World should all be able to grasp the basics of body refining techniques." Li Yuan gently closed his eyes: "Then I will be able to return to the Heart Dream Universe."

……

When Li Yuan felt joy at the complete safety of the Lingmu Universe.

Outside the Star City Teleportation Array in the Immortal World, Tianluo Star City.

The Cloud Moon God Emperor was waiting here with nearly twenty Emperor Realm experts and two low-level Quasi-Saints, including the Chaos God Emperor.

"An envoy from Supreme Star City?"

"Chaos, do you know why the Supreme Star City sent an envoy here, and why they summoned us all?" A red-robed Emperor-level expert standing next to the Chaos God Emperor said softly.

“Even you, Honglian, don’t know, how would I know?” Chaos God Emperor shook his head and said.

The red-robed Emperor Realm expert is none other than the Red Lotus God Emperor, the leader of the Red Lotus Palace. He is also a peak Emperor Realm expert and has a great reputation in Tianluo Star City.

"I suspect it's related to the Abyss Sea Sacrifice. Even those two little guys, Zi Huo and Qian Feng, have come," said the Crimson Lotus God Emperor.

Suddenly, his expression brightened: "They're here."
