High Martial Arts Era

Chapter 753 Commander Cang Er (5K)

Li Yuan was quite amazed and even more incredulous at the sudden burst of power from the mysterious red-armored guard, because the strength he displayed was simply too great.

Even the Abyss lineage's supreme ruler, who used Abyss Blood, was directly overwhelmed.

The profound heritage of the Immortal Temple is evident.

And the other side.

"Damn it! Damn it!" The Abyss God Emperor's eyes were filled with rage. He knew that there was no hope of capturing Li Yuan today... If a Divine Guard Commander insisted on protecting Li Yuan, theoretically he could even withstand the killing blows of a Supreme Being.

"I remember you."

"Your unleashing of such power is merely a borrowing of the might of the immortal world. Your true strength is far inferior to mine," the Abyss God Emperor roared in a low voice.

"But this is the Immortal Realm, and one of the forbidden areas under the jurisdiction of the Immortal Temple." The Crimson-Armored Guard coldly replied through telepathy, "Here, if I so desire, even the supreme beings among the universe's cultivators must restrain their power, let alone you?"

"I will not suppress you, but I hope you will not test my patience." The Crimson Armored Guard stared at the Abyss God Emperor and transmitted his voice.

As a divine guardian.

His every move must comply with the temple's rules. He can make his own decisions within the rules, but he must never cross the line.

Forcibly suppressing the ruler of the Abyss lineage? He would find it very difficult to do.

The Abyss God Emperor also stared intently at him.

"very good."

"In the future, you may also descend upon the abyss. When that time comes, I will let you experience my methods." The Abyss God Emperor gritted his teeth and transmitted his voice. In the end, he did not make a move, but only dared to utter harsh words.

Just as powerful beings born from the abyss occasionally enter the Temple of Immortals, the guardians of the Temple of Immortals also continuously infiltrate other eternal ruins over the long years.

In the abyss, the divine guards cannot draw upon the power of the immortal world.

"abyss?"

“You are indeed powerful in the Abyss,” the Crimson Armored Guard coldly transmitted, “but I am the commander of the Guards. As long as I wish, I will never have to descend into the Abyss.”

Ordinary Divine Guardians must take turns going to other Eternal Ruins to carry out various tasks.

However, as the commander of the Divine Guard, there is no mandatory requirement.

The Abyss God Emperor grew increasingly furious, yet he felt somewhat helpless... In terms of his own strength, he far surpassed his opponent, but here, he could only be suppressed and beaten.

"The source of the heart?"

"Hmph!" The Abyss God Emperor glanced at Li Yuan from afar.

boom!
The Abyss God Emperor suddenly turned and left, instantly tearing through the void at a terrifying speed.

With one step, one can traverse an extremely long stretch of void.

As he passed by the floating city, he quickly put away the Purple Crow God Emperor and quietly placed him into his own cave world.

Seemingly sensing the end of the great battle, the Supreme Star City formation, which had been activated, slowly retracted, and countless rays of light subsided, returning to calm.

Meanwhile, on the Star City continent, numerous collapsed palaces and shattered landmasses began to recover and be restored under the influence of strange forces.

Many strongholds of powerful individuals have formations with this function. They have been destroyed countless times after numerous battles, but they always eventually return to their original state.

In the void.

Only that warship remained, along with the Crimson Armored Guards whose auras were gradually receding and returning to normal, and Li Yuan, who was hiding in the distance.

call!
Li Yuan moved swiftly and arrived in front of the Crimson Armored Guard, respectfully bowing and saying, "Thank you for your help, senior."

"There's no need to call me senior." The Crimson Armored Guard smiled, appearing very amiable, completely unlike the coldness he displayed during his fierce battle with the Abyss God Emperor.

This also made Li Yuan feel much more relaxed.

Judging from their attitude, the other party was acting in good faith.

“I witnessed your clash with Yun Jing just now. You should have reached the peak of the Emperor Realm. Although you are a bit weaker than me, you are still on the same level.” The Crimson Armored Guard laughed. “When the strength is equal, it is customary to address each other by name.”

“I am one of the commanders of the Divine Guard of the Second Immortal Temple. You may call me Cang Er.”

"Cang Er? Commander of the Divine Guards?" Li Yuan was secretly shocked. Just now, the Commander of the Divine Guards and the Abyss God Emperor communicated through telepathy, so Li Yuan was unaware of the messages they exchanged.

Among the information he knew, there were mentions of the commanders of the Immortal Temple's guards, each of whom held high positions of power and were extremely mysterious, making it very difficult to meet them.

Generally, only those who hold a six-star or seven-star Immortal Token have a chance to meet the Divine Guard Commander.

did not expect.

This time, it was actually a commander of the Divine Guard who took the initiative to come and see him.

But Li Yuan was also puzzled. The other party said that his strength was equal to his own?
Just now, the opponent was able to easily suppress the Abyss God Emperor, who is a ruler-level powerhouse, far surpassing himself.

"I imagine you have many questions, but Jin Yuan should have already told you the general situation," Commander Cang Er said with a smile. "The God Lord has been waiting for a long time. Let's get going. I will answer your questions along the way."

"The God Lord?" Li Yuan was startled.

Who is this person?

In the information he knew, only the Commander of the Divine Guard was mentioned, and he had never heard of any God Lord in the Immortal Temple. Could it be a higher level existence than the Commander of the Divine Guard?
A moment!

Li Yuan realized that he was probably about to come into contact with some of the deeper secrets of the Immortal Temple.

"Then we'll follow the commander's orders and get going," Li Yuan said.

Boom~
The warship's hatch opened, and the Crimson Armored Guard and Li Yuan shrank in size and stepped into the warship, before the hatch closed.

call!
The warship transformed into a streak of light, soaring into the sky at an incredible speed before disappearing swiftly into the starry sky.

……

The battle between the two rulers was so intense that it had already alarmed a large number of low-level quasi-saints and emperors who were venturing around the Star City Tomb Sea.

Many powerful individuals even abandoned their continued adventures and instead wanted to come to the Honghe Supreme Star City continent to observe.

But this battle came quickly and went quickly. Soon, the Supreme Star City continent returned to normal, but it also sparked debate among many powerful figures.

"A clash of supreme rulers?"

"The battlefield seems to be deep within the continent of Honghe Supreme Star City... Honghe Supreme Star City has only been in the Star City Tomb Sea for over two billion years, so it is absolutely well preserved. Logically speaking, even if the Sovereigns were to fight there, they should be suppressed."

"Could they all be powerful figures from Honghe Supreme Star City? Aren't they subject to the suppression of the Supreme Star City's formation?" Many powerful figures realized the key point.

"The battle between the rulers... Looking across the vast universe, there are only so many rulers."

"Who will it be?"

Why were they fighting?

"It's estimated that the treasures on the outskirts of Honghe Supreme Star City were looted for some supreme treasure, but a large number of treasures in the core area are still sealed by the magic array." Many powerful figures discussed among themselves, and some even continued to fly towards the mainland of Honghe Supreme Star City, unwilling to give up.

Let's see if we can find any hidden treasures.

Although the powerful individuals who ventured into the Star City Tomb Sea were generally not very strong, there were still quite a few of them, and they came from different major forces... The clash between the rulers was a major event, and information about this battle was naturally relayed back to their respective forces by many powerful individuals.

"What? A clash between rulers? Which two rulers?"

"On the Honghe Supreme Star City continent? Why would they clash there? And they don't seem to be under any suppression."

"To have such authority in Honghe Supreme Star City, there are very few in the entire universe. He must be a powerful figure from the Eighth Dark Domain."

"Immortal Emperor? Cloud Scenery God Emperor? Cloud Moon God Emperor? Heavenly Luo Ruler? Heavenly Ruler?" Leaders of various major forces in the Immortal World were all pondering.

The two supreme beings of Honghe Supreme Star City came from the Eighth Dark Domain back then, so their suspects were naturally the top experts of the Eighth Dark Domain.

"A clash at the level of a ruler? Could it be Yun Jing?" The Cloud Moon God Emperor quickly received the news. As a fellow disciple of a supreme being, he knew that the Abyss God Emperor had this authority.

As for the Immortal Emperor and the Heavenly Ruler, although their strength is at this level, they do not have this authority.

"Who is the other ruler?"

"Could it be that there are other rulers I don't know who also have extremely high authority in Honghe Supreme Star City?" Emperor Yunyue wondered to himself.

Other powerful individuals were also confused.

However, time has been short, and neither the Abyss God Emperor nor the Purple Crow God Emperor has yet relayed news of the battle, so no one has suspected Li Yuan yet.

……

As news of the Dominator War erupting in the Star City Tomb Sea spread...

Li Yuan was on the warship, communicating with Commander Cang Er.

"Commander Cang'er, you just said that your strength is at the same level as mine? What do you mean?" Li Yuan couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Hahaha."

"Quasi-Saint Xinyuan, you saw that I seemed to easily suppress God Emperor Yunjing, and you think I am the ruler?" Commander Cang'er laughed. Li Yuan nodded.

“The Divine Guards of the Immortal Temple are not as strong as you think.” Cang Er laughed: “Ordinary Divine Guards are either at the threshold of the Emperor Realm or at the level of an ordinary Emperor Realm... and even a Divine Guard Commander like myself is only at the peak of the Emperor Realm.”

"Hmm, compared to the Chaos God Emperor of your Chaos Divine Court, he's probably a bit weaker."

Li Yuan seemed to be deep in thought.

It sounds like the Divine Guard Commander's strength isn't particularly strong. After all, looking at the vast universe, the number of peak Emperor Realm experts born in each generation of the eighty-one Dark Domains is still quite considerable.

“But the divine guards of my Immortal Temple all possess special privileges. When necessary, they can draw upon the power of the Immortal World to drastically increase their strength,” Commander Cang Er said. “Any divine guard, when unleashed, is no less than a peak Emperor Realm expert.”

"As for a commander like me, if I were to unleash my full power without restraint, I could overpower a ruler, and even against a supreme being, I could withstand their attacks."

Li Yuan was deeply shocked by what he heard.

Can you withstand the supreme being?

"We are the guardians of the Immortal Realm, so naturally we have special privileges," Commander Cang Er said frankly. "The Star City Tomb Sea is one of the forbidden areas of the Immortal Realm, where the Divine Guards can use all their power."

Li Yuan suddenly realized, "So that's how it is."

"Thank you so much, Commander," Li Yuan said gratefully. "If it weren't for your rescue, I'm afraid I would have been in great trouble."

“If I hadn’t asked you to come out of the Hongying Supreme Hall, you wouldn’t have been attacked and killed by Yun Jing.” Commander Cang Er had a mocking smile on his face.

Li Yuan was taken aback.

"Besides."

“I can sense that there are also a batch of peak Emperor Realm puppets hidden in your cave treasure. Once they are unleashed, they should be enough to protect you.” Commander Cang Er looked at Li Yuan.

Li Yuan was increasingly alarmed. Even the Abyss God Emperor hadn't been able to see through his nine imperial guards, yet the other party had easily discerned them.

The commander of the divine guards of this immortal temple is truly unfathomable.

Cang Er claimed to have only the strength of the peak Emperor Realm, but judging from his various actions, how could Li Yuan dare to regard him as a peak Emperor Realm expert?
“In any case, it was the Commander who saved me, and I will always remember that,” Li Yuan said. “But I wonder, what brings the Commander here to see me? And who is this Divine Lord? Why have I never heard of him before?”

"Haha."

“You naturally have no idea of ​​the existence of the God Lords.” Commander Cang Er smiled and said, “There are only three God Lords in the entire Immortal World, and each of them has an extremely high status.”

"The one who wants to see you is the lord of my Second Temple."

"The God Lord is extremely powerful. Once he unleashes his power, he can easily annihilate the Sovereign and overpower the Supreme. However, the God Lord rarely takes action and spends most of his time in slumber."

"The last time the God Lord awoke was billions of years ago. Under normal circumstances, only the Supreme Being is qualified to see the God Lord... Therefore, the existence of the God Lord is a great secret in the vast universe."

"Remember, even if you know of the God Lord, you must never reveal his existence," Commander Cang'er solemnly said.
Li Yuan was shocked to hear this.

Each Immortal Temple has only one God-King? Who can overpower the Supreme Being?

In an instant, Li Yuan deduced that the reason why the supreme beings of all ages were unwilling to set foot in the immortal realm was probably because they feared the mysterious and powerful god-lord that Cang Er had mentioned.

The three supreme deities should be the highest level of the Immortal Temple.

"Then why does the God Lord want to see me?" Li Yuan asked, puzzled.

"Because of your talent and strength," Commander Cang Er said frankly, "With the body of a God-King, you have cultivated for less than ten thousand years and have been able to open up three top-tier eternal paths. In terms of talent, looking at the entire history of the universe, you are absolutely top-notch."

Li Yuan was speechless.

Three? I've already opened up four top-tier eternal paths?
However, during battles, Li Yuan used his Primal Intent to control the eruption of Eternal Daos, and his Heart-Weapon Dao was extremely restrained, making it very difficult to detect when not used for soul attacks.

Cang Er didn't notice, and Li Yuan wasn't surprised.

“Of course, talent alone is not enough to make the God Lord take the initiative to see you,” Cang Er said. “Another reason is that the Abyss Sea Sacrifice is about to begin.”

"Abyss Sea Sacrifice?" Li Yuan was completely puzzled.

"The specifics will be explained to you when you meet the God Lord." Cang Er looked at Li Yuan: "You can also think about what you want?"

"The Immortal Temple has always adhered to the principle of equal exchange. If we ask you to do something, we will naturally offer something of equal value in return. A top-grade imperial weapon? A supreme-level martial arts technique? Or other rare treasures?" Cang Er smiled and said, "By the way, many of the temple's special treasures are not on the exchange list. Only the God Lord is qualified to take them out."

"So, you can think about it carefully."

"Thank you for the reminder, Commander." Li Yuan nodded and made a note of it.

"Alright, that's all for now. Go and meditate quietly for a while. I'll call you when we get to the Immortal Temple." Cang Er sat down cross-legged and began to meditate.

Seeing this, Li Yuan also sat down cross-legged and began to meditate and ponder.

The events of the past few days have indeed been thrilling. First, there was the breakthrough in willpower, then the opening of the Heart-Weapon Dao, and then the attack by the Abyss God Emperor.

It also witnessed a fierce battle at the level of the rulers, and the power was truly terrifying. Even in the immortal world suppressed by time and space, it had such destructive power... If it were in the universe, countless star systems would probably have been annihilated.

……

The Second Immortal Temple, at the highest point of that majestic and endless temple, amidst crimson clouds.

In the magnificent ancient temple, a golden throne floats, upon which sits a figure in a golden robe with an indistinct face, seemingly eternal.

"Reporting to the Divine Lord," the avatar of Commander Cang Er said respectfully, "I have received the Quasi-Saint Xin Yuan and am on my way back."

He did not mention the Abyss God Emperor's obstruction.

This is a trivial matter that is not worth mentioning to the Lord.

"Received it? Why was it delayed for a hundred years?" The golden-robed figure's voice boomed.

“He has been cultivating in seclusion in the core area of ​​Honghe Supreme Star City. I did not want to disturb his cultivation, so I waited. Although it took some time, we finally saw him make a breakthrough.” Cang Er said excitedly, “I have basically confirmed that his strength has reached the peak of the Emperor Realm.”

He knew perfectly well that this was the message the God wanted.

At the same time, through rhetoric, he transformed his mistake of wasting a century into a merit of foresight.

"Peak Emperor Realm? Is that confirmed?"

As Cang Er expected, the golden-robed god's voice revealed a hint of surprise: "He has cultivated for less than ten thousand years and is only at the God King realm. Why is he so strong? Even if he has reached the third step limit in multiple Eternal Paths, his overall strength should only be able to barely reach the peak of the Emperor realm. Judging from the years of cultivation, his progress in the Eternal Path could not have been so fast."

"I haven't inquired about the specific reasons yet, but his strength should be genuine," Cang Er said solemnly. "In the evolution of the universe, there are always some miracles."

“Perhaps, this Quasi-Saint of the Heart Source is a miracle.” Cang Er praised, “Most importantly, he will become your lucky general, God Lord. Perhaps, in the future, he will truly reach the level of a Hundred Paths Emperor.”

The golden-robed deity sat high on his throne, tapping his fingers on the armrest, seemingly deep in thought.

A good while.

"Ah."

“When he arrives, I will personally verify it.” The golden-robed deity said slowly, “Cang’er, if what you say is true and you ultimately succeed, you will be credited with the greatest merit, and I will remember it.”

"It is all thanks to the guidance of the Divine Lord that my Second Temple has become increasingly powerful," Cang Er said respectfully.

……

On the immortal temple warship that repeatedly travels through time and space at supersonic speeds.

"Why would the Abyss God Emperor be guarding this place? It's obvious he's confirmed that my true body is in the Supreme Hall?" Li Yuan pondered to himself, "Could it be that some powerful figure discovered my whereabouts?"

"But why was the message only sent to the Abyss God Emperor, and why are there no powerful figures from the Cold Journey Supreme Star City gathering outside?"

of course.

If a large number of powerful figures from the Cold Journey Supreme Star City were to gather today, Li Yuan would not be worried at all... After all, even if the Dark Furnace Sovereign, the Feather Sovereign, and the Lotus Talisman Sovereign were to descend.

They also cannot enter the core area of ​​Honghe Supreme Star City.

Li Yuan will only become more composed.

Unable to figure it out, Li Yuan decided to stop thinking about it for the time being.

"Originally, the plan was to unleash my full power during the Abyss Sea Sacrifice," Li Yuan thought to himself. "I didn't expect the Abyss God Emperor to force me to reveal my true strength."

"God King Realm, peak Emperor Realm strength... that must have frightened him."

Li Yuan knew very well that even the most monstrous geniuses in the history of the universe, such as Emperor Baidao in his youth, were probably no more than this before they entered the Emperor Realm.

Normally speaking, for a low-level Quasi-Saint, reaching the threshold of the peak Emperor Realm is a limit, almost insurmountable.

Even someone like the Supreme Northern River, who also possessed a perfect ten-star pulse, was not as strong as he was now at his peak strength in the God-King realm.

"but me."

“At the God-King Realm, my strength can continue to improve. Of the four top-tier Eternal Paths, only the World Path has reached the second step.” Li Yuan pondered silently: “If in the future, all four of my top-tier Eternal Paths will reach the third step.”

"And even open up a new supreme eternal path."

"What level will my strength reach? Will I still be considered a God-King by then?" Li Yuan fell into deep thought.
