High Martial Arts Era

Chapter 738 Starry Sky Continent
Dreamland of the Universe, Ink River Starfield.

The Kunli Galaxy, as a galaxy directly connected to the mortal realm of Beiqiu, holds an unquestionable position. Although Li Yuancheng has only been a god-king for a few thousand years, the entire galaxy is much more prosperous than before and has gradually become one of the top galaxies in the Mohe Star Region.

Within this galaxy spanning thousands of light-years, there exists a region with a diameter of hundreds of light-years, which is an absolute forbidden zone.

No one is allowed to enter.

Or rather, even if a god wanted to fly in, he would quickly get lost and then mysteriously fly out from another direction.

The higher-ups of the star field all knew that this forbidden area was the cultivation ground of the great Heart Source God King.

today.

Deep within the forbidden zone of the starry sky, in the darkness, sat a colossal figure spanning millions of kilometers, his eyes closed, his aura powerful and overwhelming, pressing down on the entire starry sky.

Suddenly, whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! The starry sky trembled... and five more majestic and vast figures appeared one after another, each hundreds of millions of kilometers high.

The mere dissipation of its aura caused the entire starry sky to freeze in absolute stillness.

It was as if it were the majesty of an emperor.

However, whether it was the initial figure or the five newly appeared figures, the soul aura they exuded was the same.

"Haha, it's still more comfortable to be back in the universe, especially in my hometown." The six 'Li Yuan's' smiled at the same time.

These are the five true forms of him who returned to his hometown.

As Li Yuan spent more and more time cultivating, he understood why the God-Kings and Emperor-level beings he had seen all possessed such enormous bodies.

“That is their true form,” Li Yuan thought to himself. “Especially those who comprehend the direction of life, like Senior Brother Dongmang, whose true form is tens of millions of kilometers tall.”

"And my five true bodies cultivate the 'Hundred Paths Sacred Body' body refining method, their divine bodies are stronger than many Emperor Realm experts... They are not subject to any spacetime suppression and can easily reach heights of hundreds of millions of kilometers in the universe." Li Yuan's gaze swept across the endless starry sky.

At an altitude of hundreds of millions of kilometers, it is the most comfortable true form.

Of course, the size of the divine body is arbitrary; it can shrink to the height of a normal person, or even, if desired, become a light-year in size, though its combat power will drastically decrease.

“In the Immortal Realm, the layers of spacetime suppress it, which is indeed very restrictive.” Deep down, Li Yuan disliked the environment of the Immortal Realm.

There are too many restrictions.

Whoosh! Whoosh! With a wave of his hand, Li Yuan sent out a large amount of strange light that landed directly in the palms of the five returning true bodies, which then began to refine them.

It was the 'King Soul Source Liquid' that he had purchased.

Each true form requires 50 portions at a time.

“One set costs 20 cubic meters of Eternal Crystals. Adding the true bodies at the Divine Court headquarters, the seven true bodies would consume 350 sets at a time.” Li Yuan thought to himself, “That’s equivalent to 7000 million cubic meters of Eternal Crystals.”

The duration of the King's Soul Source Liquid is only a thousand years.

It can be said that even at the peak of the Emperor Realm, most people cannot afford such a luxury in their cultivation... while Li Yuan is only at the God King Realm.

"Once I reach the Emperor Realm, my divine body and soul will become even stronger, and I'm afraid the effects of the King Soul Source Liquid will be greatly reduced." Li Yuan muttered to himself, "At that time, I will have to use the Emperor Soul Source Liquid."

but.

Although the price paid was high, the effect was also incredibly amazing... As the strange power contained in the King Soul Source Liquid permeated every corner of the divine body, it then permeated the soul.

It was quickly absorbed by the divine body and soul.

"Boom!" Li Yuan immediately sensed the countless strange mysteries contained in these King Soul Source Liquids, as well as the sudden surge in his mental processing speed.

Every moment.

His deductions are far more effective than anything he's done before.

“After I entered the God King Realm, my divine body nurtured my soul, and the speed of my thinking increased dramatically... But for the past thousand years, most of my true bodies have stayed in the Immortal World.” Li Yuan thought to himself, “Only two of my true bodies have been using the King Soul Source Liquid to cultivate.”

"The efficiency of deducing the eternal path has always been relatively low."

"Now, I can finally cultivate to my heart's content." Li Yuan smiled. "Most importantly, my main body can deduce the Dao of Myriad Spirits with the highest efficiency."

Wow~
With a thought, lotus flowers appeared around Li Yuan's true form, instantly forming a cosmic lotus flower that covered hundreds of millions of kilometers.

follow closely.

A large amount of life materials emerged... The materials sent back a thousand years ago were only for the use of the two true bodies, and the life materials can only exert their maximum effect by using the cosmic lotus to perform myriad spirit analysis.

"Unfortunately."

“The Cosmic Lotus has not yet evolved into a higher form; otherwise, the efficiency of deducing the Dao of Myriad Spirits would be even higher,” Li Yuan thought to himself. “But it is sufficient for now.”

At least.

Throughout his cultivation, Li Yuan has not yet encountered an insurmountable bottleneck in his deduction of the Myriad Spirits Dao.

"Barring any unforeseen circumstances."

“According to the plan, the seven true bodies will need to cultivate in seclusion for the next few thousand years.” Li Yuan thought to himself, “Once the true bodies in the Immortal World retrieve the treasures left behind in the small tomb… if there are no other important matters, we must return to the Heart Dream Universe.”

"Until the Abyss Sea Sacrifice begins."

Although the difficulty of cultivating the Eternal Path increases tenfold or even a hundredfold with each subsequent step, otherwise, there wouldn't be so many fifth-order and sixth-order Quasi-Saints who are stuck at the final step and unable to become Emperors.

but!

From a young martial artist on Earth to the person he is today, widely recognized as the number one genius of the contemporary era in the 81st Dark Domain of the entire universe... Li Yuan only spent five thousand years.

now!

With a mental processing speed comparable to that of an Emperor Realm cultivator, coupled with a vast amount of resources, and the joint deduction by multiple true forms... how about another five thousand years of secluded cultivation?
How far will his strength improve?
"Do your best."

"Leave the rest to fate." Li Yuan gently closed his eyes and began to fully deduce the Eternal Dao.

The Seven True Forms.

The main body is fully engaged in deducing the Dao of Myriad Spirits, while some of the true bodies are deducing the Dao of the World, some are deducing the Dao of Great Destruction, and some are deducing the Dao of Heart and Artifact.

This is what makes the powerful who opened up the Path of Ten Thousand Spirits so special.

The nine true forms make the deduction efficiency of the Wanlingdao experts far exceed that of other experts... especially experts like Li Yuan who have opened up multiple top-level eternal paths. The combined effect is far greater than one plus one.

……

When Li Yuan's seven true bodies were simultaneously in seclusion in the Mohe Star Region and the Divine Court Headquarters.

day to day.

His two true forms in the Immortal Realm continued their journey, getting closer and closer to their destination, the 'Star City Tomb Sea'.

In a dim, empty space.

There is a floating continent... There are very few life-bearing planets in the immortal world. Most of them are in the form of continents. A star system can easily reach hundreds of millions of kilometers or even more. The number of life that it can support is naturally astonishing.

This continent also has oceans, mountains, and lakes, and has given birth to a brilliant civilization.

but!

Since when, this continent, spanning hundreds of millions of kilometers, has been eroded by an invisible force, causing all life born on the continent to gradually become bloodthirsty and murderous from birth.

They continued to kill each other.

In the endless wilderness, two supreme forces on the continent are engaged in a great battle. Countless lives are constantly being lost, and the power of the battle spreads in all directions, causing the earth to tear apart and mountains to collapse. Armies composed of illusory gods and true gods are rising up one after another, fighting madly.

This is a war that is sweeping across the entire continent.

One side called itself the 'Heavenly Alliance', while the other called itself the 'Holy Race'. The two sides fought fiercely... In the center of this vast battlefield, the highest leaders of the two forces were also engaged in a peak duel, causing many true gods to retreat far away.

"Yanxiao! You've actually reached the level of a Celestial God? How is that possible! You've only cultivated for a little over ten thousand years! How could you cultivate so quickly?" The towering figure clad in dazzling blood-red battle armor roared angrily, "How did you break through?"

This figure in blood-red armor originally had eight arms, but now six of them have been severed.

"What? Is that strange?" The valiant young man, holding a huge divine sword, sneered, "Demon God, your Eight-Armed Heavenly God Technique has been broken by me, and your nine clones have all been destroyed by me... In this battle, you will surely die."

"After this battle!"

"The entire demon race will be wiped out, and peace will be restored to the continent," the valiant young man said coldly.

"Dream on!" roared the Crimson Armored God, a crimson light suddenly emanating from between his brows as he unleashed a furious growl: "Warriors of the Holy Race! Kill! Kill! Kill!"

"Kill all the enemies!"

"kill!"

In an instant, the massive number of Void Gods and True Gods on the Holy Race side went completely berserk, charging fearlessly towards the powerful figures on the Heavenly Mansion Alliance side.

"kill!"

"Ten thousand waters shake heaven and earth." The valiant god named Yanxiao uttered in a deep voice, and endless streams of water appeared around him, accompanied by his sword light, slashing towards the demon god in a mighty and powerful manner.

Despite his best efforts to resist, the Demon God was still forced to retreat in defeat... He had been a god for tens of thousands of years, yet he could not defeat the newly ascended Yanxiao God.

Bang!
With a flash of sword light, the Demon God's body exploded. By the time his divine power gathered again, his life force had been reduced by more than 80%.

Death is not far away.

"Demon God, you deserve to die." The Heavenly God Yanxiao's eyes were cold, and an endless desire arose in his heart... Generations of strong people on the continent have struggled for countless years.

Keep resisting!

Struggling on and on!

Finally, the day has come when the continent will be freed from the rule of the demons.

at this time--

"Rumble~" Above the continent, endless dark red light appeared, and a majestic and endless black figure emerged.

With a single step, he arrived at the center of the battlefield from the edge of the void, and the terrifying aura he exuded made the entire world seem to freeze.

That destructive aura seemed to slow down the thought processes of all cultivators on the battlefield, except for the two celestial beings.

"What is this?" The Heavenly God Yanxiao trembled in his heart.

so horrible.

This person seemed to be countless times more powerful than the powerful beings described in the supreme divine inheritances he had obtained... Just looking at the other person, he felt endless darkness eroding his soul.

This is absolutely an incredible being. "Holy Ancestor." The Demon God was extremely excited and knelt down on the ground with a thud. This scene instantly made the Heavenly God Yanxiao's mood plummet.

The once formidable Allied Forces of Talent were now in despair.

Holy Ancestor?

That legendary, peerless powerhouse who created the Holy Race and ruled the entire continent countless ages ago is still alive? How could his lifespan be so long?

"Useless!" The black-clad figure glanced at the Demon God.

hum~
An invisible force spread, and in an instant, the Demon God's body was annihilated, and he died.

The Heavenly God Yanxiao was utterly desperate... A single glance could cause a god to fall? What kind of power is this?
"how?"

"Yanxiao, don't you remember your master?" The black-clad figure looked down at the Heavenly God Yanxiao, his tone suddenly changing: "You've forgotten your master so quickly?"

The Heavenly God Yanxiao stared wide-eyed.

Master?

Who was this mysterious master who had been guiding him and helping him avoid danger time and time again?
"Master, you?" Yanxiao Heavenly God clung to the last glimmer of hope in his heart.

"Without my guidance, do you think you could be like the chosen one, obtaining so many opportunities and surviving one life-or-death ordeal after another?" The black figure laughed: "I want you to live, so you can live... I need you to become a god."

"So, you've become a god."

"I nurtured this continent, and you are the 164th rebellious god born under my guidance." The black figure looked down at the God of the Sky and revealed a smile: "You are also the ninth rebellious god who was ultimately able to force me to show myself."

"My good disciple, you haven't disappointed your master," the black-clad figure said leisurely.

The Heavenly God Yanxiao understood.

My own turbulent, wonderful, and struggling life... it seems that everything was designed by my master.

Do not!
He is not the master, he is the mastermind behind the scenes, the 'Ancestor of the Demon Clan'.

"Demon Ancestor, what is your purpose in doing this?" Yanxiao Heavenly God suppressed his fear and stared intently at the towering black figure.

"I want you to start a war." The black figure laughed. "I need hatred to fill the entire continent, I need blood to stain this land."

"At this moment, you must be filled with despair and hatred!"

"Mountains of corpses and seas of blood, slaughtering each other... Only after harvesting the souls of all your illusory gods and true bodies can your souls contain enough negative emotions to be contributed to the will of the abyss, only then will you have some value," the black figure laughed.

now.

All the top experts on the Tianfu Alliance side had grown extremely cold-hearted... They had vaguely realized that the entire world was merely a chessboard for the other side.

"Do you understand everything?"

"Then let's get going." The black figure laughed. With a wave of his hand, the world turned upside down, and in an instant, thousands of true gods and hundreds of thousands of illusory gods on the distant mountains and rivers turned into nothingness.

"No!"

The eyes of the Heavenly God Yanxiao instantly turned red.

Many of those who died were his friends, several of his wives, and his two children... all of whom died in an instant.

His heart was filled with boundless hatred!
But there is nothing you can do!

Because an invisible force had already imprisoned him, rendering him unable to move, and he couldn't even close his eyes; he had to keep them wide open to watch everything unfold.

"Ha ha!"

"Hate me! Hate me! The more you hate me, the better." The black figure smiled and said, "My good disciple, you bear the destiny of the entire continent. The more you hate me, the better. Just watch, I will slowly destroy everything you have, and finally kill you."

"That way, you can create the greatest value for me."

"Kill the next batch." The black-clad figure raised his hand and pointed towards another mountain range.

at this time--

hum~
In the vision of the Heavenly God Yanxiao, at the end of the void, a figure in green robes appeared out of thin air. His aura was ordinary, yet it possessed an indescribable charm.

What shocked the Heavenly God Yanxiao the most was...

The moment the figure in green appeared, the Demon Ancestor, who had been leisurely, changed his expression and tried to flee for his life.

"Want to escape now?"

"Don't you think it's too late?" The figure in green smiled, and as soon as he smiled, the Demon Ancestor's towering figure exploded.

Then it was completely annihilated.

Demon Ancestor, die!

The terrifying pressure that had enveloped the entire world completely dissipated, leaving the Heavenly God Yanxiao and countless powerful figures of the Heavenly Mansion Alliance astonished.

What did they see?
The Demon Ancestor, who possessed incredible power and could easily bind gods, actually perished directly in front of this mysterious blue-robed expert.
This?
What exactly is this thing?
"Thank you, senior. Your supernatural powers are boundless." Yanxiao Heavenly God felt his restraints dissipate. He suppressed his grief over the deaths of his wife and children and quickly knelt down: "Saving the entire continent is a great deed."

"Thank you, senior." Countless powerful figures from the Tianfu Alliance immediately knelt down in a dense mass.

"Merit?" Li Yuan couldn't help but laugh.

Having cultivated for so long, Li Yuan understands very well that Heaven and Earth are impartial, allowing you to kill or show mercy as you please... as long as you do not violate the order of the universe, the universe will not restrain you.

"Unfortunately, I went to save another continent and arrived a little late. I couldn't save your wife and children." Li Yuan looked at the God of Yanxiao.

With Li Yuan's skill, he was able to glimpse and trace back all of the past of the Heavenly God Yanxiao with just one glance.

They also know everything that has happened on this star continent over the past millions or even tens of millions of years.

The source of everything!
They were all from the same abyssal creature that had just died. Although it was only a fifth-order quasi-saint, it brought a long and devastating catastrophe to more than ten star continents in this remote starry sky.

"Other continents?"

"Beyond heaven and earth, are there other continents?" Many thoughts flashed through the mind of the Heavenly God Yanxiao, but he still respectfully said, "We are already extremely grateful that you came. May we ask how you are addressed?"

“Xinyuan!” Li Yuan uttered two words.

“Senior Xinyuan, this junior has remembered,” said the Heavenly God Yanxiao, though he did not understand the meaning of those two words.

"Ah."

“Your luck is extraordinary, and your opportunities are also remarkable.” Li Yuan smiled and said, “Don’t listen to the bewitching words of that abyss demon just now… Although he created your growth, you also need to be strong enough yourself to overcome those tribulations.”

“There were at least eight or ten thousand cultivators who were secretly guided by him, but only a hundred or so eventually became gods.”

"And you are the best among them."

“You have the potential to reach the God-King realm,” Li Yuan said. “Work hard, and perhaps you will be able to leave this world in the future.”

Talking!

Whoosh! Li Yuan pointed at the Heavenly God Yanxiao in the distance, and a large amount of information flooded into the Heavenly God Yanxiao's mind.

Even with the immense strength of the Heavenly God Yanxiao's soul, he felt as if his brain was about to explode.

quite a while.

He had just finished processing all the information.

"The Immortal Realm? So the world is this vast. Above the gods are God-Kings? Only the Dao-Opening God-King can be called a Quasi-Saint?" The Heavenly God Yanxiao's eyes were filled with shock: "Above that is the Emperor Realm? And the Demon Ancestor is a fifth-order Quasi-Saint 'Abyss Lifeform,' from outside the Immortal Realm..."

He finally understood the vastness of heaven and earth.

"The continent we are on is just a star continent. Only by cultivating to become a God King can we escape the continent?" The Heavenly God Yanxiao understood everything.

When he looked again, Li Yuan was nowhere to be seen.

"The source of the heart?"

"If one day I am able to transcend the continent, I will definitely go to the outer heavens to find the figure of Senior Xinyuan again," the Heavenly God Yanxiao thought to himself.

Quickly.

He suppressed his grief, swept his gaze over the vast number of powerful members of the Holy Race, and gave the order: "Kill them all! Revenge!"

"Kill!" The powerful figures of the Heavenly Mansion Alliance roared with overwhelming force.

……

Li Yuan appeared out of thin air from outside the void.

"Sixteen star continents, behind which were two abyssal beings. I killed them all, and they only gave me 2 immortal merits." Li Yuan shook his head slightly and said, "They're really stingy."

"Haha."

"Li Yuan, don't you know what your strength is now?" Xiao Mu laughed: "You should know that those Emperor Realm cultivators who kill weak Abyss beings sometimes don't even get a single Immortal Merit."

"The Temple of Immortality has very strict control over Immortal Merit. Giving you 2 Immortal Merit is not bad."

"Speak of it."

“You were quite kind to that kid just now,” Xiao Mu said. “He has good talent and perseverance, but unfortunately… he is a native life form of the Immortal World, and his future prospects are bleak. Even if he can become a God King, he will probably be captured by other Star City powerhouses and become their servant.”

"In the Immortal World, suppressed by the Eternal Dao, it is almost impossible for native life forms to achieve great things, even if they become Emperors... it won't be much better."

“The future is unpredictable, and he can only rely on himself.” Li Yuan said frankly, “I helped him out because I was feeling a bit sentimental, and it reminded me of the past in the Spirit Wood Universe.”

Xiao Mu nodded in agreement.

He knew very well that although Li Yuan didn't like meddling in other people's business and wasn't the kind of saint who wanted to save everything, he was kind at heart.

Moreover.

Now they are about to arrive at the Star City Tomb Sea. In this remote starry sky, they discover that several abyssal beings are secretly manipulating some star continents, constantly harvesting the souls of native lives to sacrifice to the abyss... Li Yuan naturally eliminates them as soon as possible.

Why not slay abyssal beings and gain some immortal merit?
"We should reach Star City Cemetery in about two more hours," Xiao Mu said. "Let's go and keep going."

Li Yuan nodded and was just about to set off.

suddenly.

He stopped, turned sharply to look at the distant starry sky, and said softly, "An Emperor-level life form from the Abyss? It hasn't been long, but they've arrived incredibly quickly."
