High Martial Arts Era

Chapter 777 Breaking the Rules of the Universe! The Domain of Fallen Saints

The purple-clad woman 'Zijing' and the blood-robed, burly figure 'Yan', both standing on the jade platform, immediately looked at the floating projection in the center.

As for the other shrunk scenes? They didn't pay much attention to them and simply ignored them.

The two of them knew that the three of them were jointly responsible for many selections in the Nine Districts of the Heavenly Realm. They usually took charge of their own area and would only call on each other when there was a major event.

Now, at this crucial moment when all the universes are opening up, Kim Gu summoned them here, so it must be something important.

They also hoped to encounter some incredible and extraordinary beings, which would greatly benefit them.

"Ok?"

"Four top-tier eternal paths? A God-King realm cultivator, with less than ten thousand years of cultivation? How is that possible!"

"Can it unleash peak Emperor-level combat power? But the level of each Eternal Path seems to be not high."

"This has exceeded the limits of the universe's rules." The woman in purple and the figure in blood robes, through the projection and related information, quickly developed the same curiosity as Jin Jiu.

how did you do that?
"This shouldn't be the case!"

“Low-level Quasi-Saints are completely different from high-level Quasi-Saints.” The purple-clad girl’s voice was melodious. “High-level Quasi-Saints have already opened up their inner universe. As the Eternal Dao continues to evolve, their inner universe will also grow stronger, so it will be much easier for them to carry other Eternal Daos.”

"Moreover, high-level Quasi-Saints generally have one or more Eternal Paths that have reached the fourth step and have condensed to form the core of the Inner Universe... Even if the Eternal Paths they open up later cannot be integrated into the origin of the Universe, resulting in slow progress, they will still have very little impact on the Inner Universe."

“But low-level Quasi-Saints don’t have a core in their inner world… Anyone who opens up the Eternal Path must integrate into the origin of the universe.”

"Therefore, three top-tier eternal paths are generally the limit for a low-level quasi-saint, and that's only for those peerless geniuses who are rare in the universe."

"It must be a perfect foundation, plus some special opportunities."

"Four top-tier eternal paths, how did he, a low-level quasi-saint, manage to do that?" The woman in purple frowned. "Under the operation of the universe's origin, even the rules probably wouldn't allow it."

"Ok!"

"This has broken the rules governing the universe." The figure in the blood-red robe, 'Yan,' nodded emphatically. "There must be a special reason."

For many cultivators in the universe, even the supreme beings, the shock they felt upon learning that Li Yuan, at the God-King Realm, had opened up four top-tier eternal paths would ultimately be attributed to Li Yuan's unparalleled talent.

But how many unparalleled geniuses have Jin Jiu and the woman in purple seen? They know very well where the limits of the universe lie.

For example, in the realm of celestial beings, the lifespan limit is 30 years.

Below the Supreme Being level, the true lifespan limit is 1000 million years!

When the universe cycles and changes, even the supreme beings will perish, and hiding in any corner of the universe is useless... These are the operating rules of the vast universe.

Breaking through it is virtually impossible!

Quasi-Saints, for example, merely use the special environment of the Eternal Ruins to essentially leave the sphere of influence of the universe's rules, thus indirectly extending their lifespan... but this is a trick, not breaking the operation of the universe's rules.

same.

A low-level Quasi-Saint can open up to three top-tier Eternal Paths. Although this is not a universally acknowledged ironclad rule, it is, in a mysterious way, a limitation imposed by the vast universe on the life it nurtures.

For countless years, Jin Jiu, the woman in purple, and the figure in blood robes have monitored everything, but they have never found anyone who could break this restriction.

All three were staring at the projection on the light screen, deep in thought.

for a long time.

“The mysteries of each of his Eternal Daos are very low.” The blood-robed figure said slowly, “There are only three possibilities for him to be able to unleash the peak combat power of the Emperor Realm. First, he may have used some incredible treasures, such as Eternal Dao weapons, but according to the records of the universe, he did not use any transcendent weapons, so this situation can be ruled out.”

"Secondly, his fundamental strength is extremely strong. For example, his divine power and divine body are comparable to those of a ruler, which can compensate for the weakness of the Dao..."

Kim Gu and the woman in purple listened attentively.

The universe is vast, and there are some incredible methods, such as the unique skills created by the supreme beings. Their power is even greater than that of the sub-saints. Once mastered, it is not impossible for a god-king to have a divine body and divine power comparable to a ruler.

Of course, it is extremely difficult for a God-King to master the supreme techniques of a supreme being.

"Thirdly, his true level of the Eternal Dao is far stronger than what he actually reveals." The blood-robed figure solemnly said, "Perhaps he has already achieved the initial fusion of three Daos, or even the initial fusion of four Daos... In this way, the power of the Dao Fusion is enough to increase the power of each of his Eternal Daos by a hundred or a thousand times. With their combined strength, it is not surprising that he has the strength of the peak Emperor Realm."

"Hedao?"

"God King Realm, Dao Integration?" Jin Jiu and the woman in purple were both taken aback upon hearing this, as this was a direction they had never dared to consider before.

After all, it's already incredible that a God-King can open up multiple Eternal Paths.

The three paths merge into one? That's something that even ninth-order quasi-saints and tenth-order quasi-saints dream of but can hardly achieve. How many quasi-saints have died in history?
As for the merging of the four paths into one, that's practically legendary!

Anyone who can unite the four paths and reach the ultimate goal... any one of them will have a status far superior to them.

Could it be that this little guy, who has cultivated for less than ten thousand years, has accomplished this?
"Unfortunately."

“The Dao Diagram Space is only used to assist cultivators in comprehending the Eternal Dao… Without the Dao Integration Diagram as proof, it is impossible to know whether a cultivator has integrated with the Dao.” Jin Jiu shook his head and said, “The Dao Integration Diagram cannot be revealed in the universe. Even within the Eternal Ruins, it can only display a small amount of power.”

The Dao Harmony Diagram is also bound by the rules of the universe.

Although the sixteen eternal relics exist independently outside the universe, they are rooted in the universe and are destined to be affected by the rules of the universe.

Whether or not it aligns with the Dao is no longer important.

"Even if he truly attained the Dao, it's nothing compared to breaking the rules of the universe." The blood-robed figure said in a low voice, "There must be a special reason why he has been able to cultivate safely until now... Jin Jiu, where does this cultivator come from?"

“Let me check…” Kim Gu’s fingertips flickered, and the book in front of him changed, quickly displaying a large amount of information.

And when you see the information in the book.

The three of them were stunned again.

“Heavenly Heart Domain…” the girl in purple murmured to herself, “If I remember correctly, it is a domain of fallen saints, which could be turned into ruins at any time.”

"The Domain of Fallen Saints?"

"Under the influence of the rules of the Holy Path, even spacetime teleportation is difficult, which means... even if we want to help him, there's nothing we can do."

“The Domain of Fallen Saints, no wonder. It’s not surprising that he broke the rules of the universe, since the rules of the universe are inherently incomplete.” The three exchanged views.

Some of the confusion that had arisen before now seems to have been answered.

In their view, some strange things were happening in the Domain of Fallen Saints.

Is it weird?

“This cosmic sphere must have been laid down by the supreme beings countless years ago, before the holy war that broke out in the Nine Regions of the Chaotic Heaven,” Jin Jiu said softly. “Zijing, Yan, what do you think we should do?”

“If he weren’t in the Domain of Sacred Fall, he would certainly deserve a reporting slot,” the woman in purple said softly. “But we can’t interfere there. What good would reporting it do? Our slots are very precious… I think if he passes the Sphere Test, you should make a record of him.”

"At the same time, try to give him some benefits through the universe."

"The rest depends on him alone," the woman in purple said.

"I think Zijing is right. He is somewhat special, but who knows how far he can go in the future? In the Domain of Fallen Saints, even if he does become a Quasi-Saint in the future... he will still find it difficult to roam freely." The blood-robed figure shook his head slightly. Clearly, he agreed with the purple-clad girl's suggestion.

"What a pity," Kim Gu sighed inwardly.

He thought he had found a big fish, but the situation turned out to be so tricky... leaving him feeling rather helpless.

……

Inside the ancient ruins, in the strange space where Li Yuan was located.

“These eternal Dao diagrams.” Li Yuan studied them with great eagerness. Compared to these Dao diagrams, even the Myriad Saints Stone Wall paled in comparison.

The interwoven Dao patterns in the Dao diagram truly contain the power that leads to the ultimate.

"How long has it been since?"

"I feel like I've gained something in just one hour?" Li Yuan sighed inwardly, finding it somewhat unbelievable.

How difficult is it to deduce the eternal way?

Many god-kings or god-emperors may not achieve anything even after ten thousand years of arduous cultivation... Li Yuan has been cultivating for so long, but he has never encountered an insurmountable bottleneck.

But to gain insights and understanding so quickly, as I have today, is something I have never experienced before.

"If all the God-Kings of the Chaos Divine Court could observe this Eternal Dao Diagram and cultivate, they would probably all be able to open up the top Eternal Dao, or even become Emperors..." This thought suddenly flashed through Li Yuan's mind.

Of course, Li Yuan also knew that this was impossible.

According to the Star God Emperor and the Starry Sky God Emperor, the Dao diagrams they observed were indeed profound, but they were far inferior to the Eternal Dao Diagram they had comprehended.

"I suppose only those who enter the core area of ​​this ancient ruin are qualified to view these nine Eternal Dao Diagrams," Li Yuan guessed to himself.

suddenly!

Whoosh! An invisible force suddenly appeared in this strange space, instantly startling Li Yuan, who was focused on his cultivation.

"What's that?" Li Yuan turned his head to look.

In the center of this space, which was originally empty, wisps of hazy golden threads were now gathering.

"Boom!" Countless golden threads, like a dream, eventually coalesced into a slightly hazy golden figure.

The aura is ethereal!

"Greetings, cosmic cultivator." The golden figure looked down at Li Yuan, his voice gentle yet seemingly emanating from beyond endless space and time.

"Senior." Li Yuan stood up and bowed respectfully.

He understood that the other party must be the mastermind behind this mysterious ancient ruins... After all, the operation of this ancient ruins is so ingenious, who would believe that there is no mastermind behind it?
"My name is Kim Gu, and I am in charge of this cosmic planet," the golden figure said slowly.

Li Yuan's heart stirred.

Is Yuqiu the name of this mysterious ancient ruin?

This cosmic sphere? Could there be other cosmic spheres? Li Yuan wondered to himself.

"The information I am about to tell you is not to be leaked." The golden figure looked down at Li Yuan: "Therefore, you must make an eternal vow not to leak this information."

"Yes," Li Yuan replied readily.

It's perfectly normal to only ask that information not be leaked.

Soon, Li Yuan made the corresponding eternal oath... The eternal oath will have less and less constraint on powerful Emperor Realm cultivators, but it will still have a certain constraint.

Even the most supreme ruler would not disobey unless absolutely necessary.

"You are exceptionally talented. Among the countless cultivators I have observed throughout my long years, you are absolutely top-tier. To achieve such accomplishments in less than ten thousand years of cultivation, you have easily reached the first advancement standard of the core area." The golden figure continued, "Logically, I should wait another thousand years to see if you can reach the second advancement standard... before I come to see you again."

"pity……"

“You were born in the Domain of Fallen Saints… which imposes many restrictions. Even if you reach the second advancement standard, I cannot bestow upon you more treasures and inheritances according to the rules of the supreme beings. Therefore, I simply came to see you directly,” the golden figure said slowly.

Li Yuan's heart stirred.

He understood. This sphere must have been created by the supreme beings. What are the supreme beings? Could it be the Eternal Ones who created so many eternal ruins?
at the same time!

According to the other party, the benefits of reaching the first promotion standard and the second promotion standard should be completely different.

"But my birth has limited me?" Li Yuan thought to himself, "The Domain of Saintly Fall, what does that mean? Saintly Fall... could it mean eternal fall?"

In the surviving records of many eternal relics, there is a common practice of referring to eternity as sacred, and a few even refer to it as 'immortal'.

For example, records from the ancient Heavenly Court refer to them as immortals.

"Born in the land of fallen saints, it is a calamity... but perhaps also your opportunity." The golden phantom looked at Li Yuan with a profound meaning: "Otherwise, you might not have achieved what you have today. Calamity and destiny go hand in hand, and how you seize them is up to you."

"The first benefit of your entry into the core area is that you will be able to comprehend 'a thousand years' in the Dao Diagram Space... However, the Holy Sea's spacetime layer is fractured, and you cannot receive the protective treasure. Therefore, I will make another adjustment so that you can comprehend 'two thousand years' in the Dao Diagram Space."

"This is a very good opportunity."

"The Eternal Dao Diagram, and even the highest beings paid a huge price for you quasi-saints to comprehend it..."

A flicker of excitement flashed in Li Yuan's eyes.

Two thousand years?
After his recent contemplation, Li Yuan clearly understood the benefits of comprehending the Eternal Dao Diagram... The original thousand-year comprehension time had been reduced to two thousand years, which would definitely allow him to make significant progress in the Eternal Dao.

Of course, the protective treasure the other party mentioned is probably quite extraordinary.

"To gain it is my fortune, to lose it is my fate... It is already a rare opportunity, there is no need to think too much about it." Li Yuan's heart quickly calmed down.

"The second benefit is that the ultimate skill is passed down." The golden phantom continued, "All cultivators who enter the core area of ​​the universe are qualified to receive a 'quasi-saint ultimate skill'... You should also know that there are different levels of quasi-saint ultimate skills."

"The weakest Quasi-Saints are those who have combined two top-tier Eternal Daos and one high-level Eternal Dao... The Quasi-Saint techniques they left behind are stronger than Supreme techniques, but often only by a limited margin."

“The more powerful Quasi-Saints are those who have combined three top-tier Eternal Daos into one. The ultimate techniques they left behind have immense power even against tenth-tier Quasi-Saints.”

"There are also some extremely terrifying sub-saint techniques, whose power is very close to that of supreme techniques."

“Logically, the unique skill you chose should be taught to you by me.” The golden phantom looked down at Li Yuan.

"But for the next two thousand years, you can continue to work hard... If you can eventually reach the second promotion standard, I can make an exception and allow you to choose any of the sub-sage's unique skills."
