High Martial Arts Era

Chapter 801 Chaos in the Sacrificial Realm (5K)

Among the three sub-saintly techniques that Li Yuan cultivated—"Nightmare Realm," "Burning Heart," and "Hundred Paths Sacred Body"—"Hundred Paths Sacred Body" was the least profound in terms of its own, but it was also relatively easy to learn.

Easy to learn does not mean it is insignificant.

On the contrary, for Li Yuan now, this supreme skill of a near-sage is the most useful.

“The difficulty of cultivating the Nightmare of the Realm is too high. My true body has taken eight hundred years to transform into a ‘Virtual Realm Body’ with the help of the Virtual Realm Diagram, let alone transform into a Nightmare of the Realm.” Li Yuan thought to himself, “As for the Burning Heart, I have only just entered the door. Even if I have stepped into the second step of the Heart-Weapon Dao, I can’t even think about cultivating to the second level without opening up the Dao of Myriad Things.”

no way!
"Burning Heart" originates from the Dao of Heart and Weapon, the Dao of World, and the Dao of All Things... With the support of the Dao of World, the Dao of Heart and Weapon, and the Primal Intent, Li Yuan was already quite good to have entered the first level of cultivation. However, it would be extremely difficult to continue cultivating to the second level.

And actually.

After realizing that the four top-tier eternal paths had not reached the limit of the inner universe, Li Yuan attempted to open up a fifth top-tier eternal path. The most promising ones were the path of all things and the path of time and space... After all, the path of the world and the path of all spirits, which were the highest achievements of Li Yuan, were related to the mysteries of all things and the operation of time and space.

The nine supreme eternal paths are not completely independent, but are interconnected.

But the reality is.

Even with the assistance of numerous rare treasures and external objects, and even in a strange place like the Dao Diagram Space... it would be extremely difficult for Li Yuan to open up another top-tier eternal Dao.

“Every life form is unique in its soul and body. Through repeated experiences and transformations, it eventually develops its own unique talents.” Li Yuan thought to himself, “No life can be an all-rounder.”

"My greatest talent lies in the Dao of the World, followed by the Dao of Mind and Artifacts, the Dao of Myriad Spirits... and only then does the Dao of Great Destruction come into play." Li Yuan was well aware of this.

The Path of Mind and Vessel is the most mysterious and unpredictable, making progress the most difficult. This path is even referred to as the "Void Realm Cultivator," which gives a glimpse into its difficulty.

Li Yuan's progress in the World Dao is far beyond what other eternal Daos can match.

It took only eight hundred years for the Great Destruction Path to break through and take the second step, which was already beyond Li Yuan's expectations.

As for the other eternal paths?
The fact that Li Yuan had never developed the Dao of All Things, the Dao of Chaos, the Dao of Time and Space, etc., during his rapid growth in the past already indicated that he did not have enough talent in these top-tier eternal Daos.

We can only wait and see.

"Whether it's the Dao of All Things, the Dao of Time and Space, or the Dao of Chaos, the Dao of Destiny, etc... I have been accumulating knowledge slowly all along, and one day I will open it up." Li Yuan looked on calmly.

He didn't expect all the Eternal Paths he opened up to reach the fourth step, that would be too incredible... He just wanted to try to see if he could form a more perfect Inner Universe, and then form a stronger 'Primordial Realm'.

This is his purpose.

Pursuing the limits of the inner universe is also pursuing the limits of one's own path.

"Taking the second step of the Great Destruction Path has made my primordial intent stronger." Li Yuan silently felt the evolution of the origin of the inner universe: "Most importantly, I can still cultivate the second level of the Hundred Paths Sacred Body."

The third step of the World Dao, the second step of the Myriad Spirits Dao, the second step of the Great Destruction Dao, and the Primordial Realm... all laid the foundation for Li Yuan to cultivate the second level of the Hundred Dao Sacred Body Refining Method.

"Once success is achieved."

"The strength of my divine body will surpass that of a low-grade imperial weapon." A hint of anticipation flickered in Li Yuan's eyes.

Imperial weapons are weapons used by those at the Emperor Realm... and the power that a cultivator's body can unleash, surpassing that of an ordinary imperial weapon, is terrifying.

The most direct result is that Li Yuan's physical defense will skyrocket to an alarming level.

Even the physical defense boost from a top-grade imperial weapon armor cannot compare to the transformation of the divine body itself... Furthermore, a powerful divine body will also give birth to a stronger soul origin.

By then, Li Yuan believed that his vitality would be comparable to that of the rulers.

"The Hundred Paths Sacred Body." Li Yuan began to devote most of his true body to comprehending the body-refining method of the Hundred Paths Sacred Body.

In the past, Li Yuan had already conducted many comprehension and deduction experiments. Although these experiments were conducted out of thin air and had many flaws, Li Yuan's previous experience in deduction was still of great help when he actually tried to cultivate.

……

Just over ten years later.

Li Yuan's deduction of the "Hundred Paths Sacred Body" body-refining method had reached a new level. With sufficient confidence, he stayed in the forbidden space-time of the Ink River Star Region as a true body and truly tried to cultivate it.

"Boom!" The space trembled.

Li Yuan's divine body circulated, and his divine spark released its power. A magnificent and boundless pressure enveloped the entire starry sky. Every drop of flesh and blood was like a small world. As the world circulated, divine patterns appeared, shining brightly across the vast world, undergoing a rapid transformation.

"The transformation is too slow."

“If I cultivate to the second level, I can be considered to have achieved minor success in the Holy Body.” Li Yuan frowned slightly. “Such a powerful transformation of the divine body would take hundreds of thousands of years if I relied solely on myself… Even with the help of the Eternal Crystal, it would probably still take tens of thousands of years.”

"If we want to go even faster, we'll need to use some rare and precious treasures."

Most unique skills, especially those related to divine bodies, can be mastered by the strong themselves, but it usually takes an extremely long time.

Eternal Crystals, as the essence of the universe's energy, can assist in the cultivation of any ultimate technique, greatly saving cultivation time.

However, in terms of efficacy, Eternal Crystal is naturally inferior to some specific rare treasures.

If Li Yuan were an ordinary Emperor Realm cultivator with insufficient wealth, he would probably prefer to spend more time... But now that the opening of the Abyss Sacrifice Realm is drawing ever closer, time is precious, so Li Yuan naturally did not hesitate to begin using various channels to obtain the resources he needed.

"chaos……"

"The Supreme Ruler of Heaven..."

"Brother Yunyue, I think..." Li Yuan directly sent a message to the Chaos God Emperor, the Tongtian God Emperor, and the Yunyue God Emperor.

As time passed, with the help of the Cloud Moon God Emperor and the others, and after spending more than 40 billion Eternal Crystals, Li Yuan collected all the rare treasures he needed in less than three months.

"So expensive!"

“These rare treasures can only help two true bodies transform quickly,” Li Yuan thought to himself. “If all nine true bodies were to transform simultaneously, it would require nearly two hundred billion Eternal Crystals.”

Even Li Yuan doesn't have that much wealth yet.

"For now, let's focus on cultivating the two true bodies to ensure they are ready for battle, in case of any unforeseen circumstances." Li Yuan's thinking was very clear: "The other true bodies can be cultivated slowly with the help of the Eternal Crystal."

There are still four thousand years until the opening of the Abyss Sacrifice Realm, and two true bodies have not yet escaped from the Yuqiu and Hongying Supreme Halls, so Li Yuan is not in a hurry.

"However, there's a reason why it's expensive."

"My divine body is transforming at a speed that is more than a thousand times faster than relying solely on my own cultivation." A large number of treasures emitting strange fluctuations floated around Li Yuan.

There are crystals as big as small mountains, black lake water like a lake, purple and green bamboo...

His divine body was like a giant gluttonous beast, constantly devouring and absorbing the essence of these rare treasures to strengthen itself, which in turn caused his divine body to continuously transform.

……

Dreamland of the Universe, Southern Punishment Starfield.

Rumble~~ In the vast void, there are floating temples, with streams of flame flowing endlessly between them. The endless streams of flame are dazzling and illuminate the whole world, as if they are going to light up the entire starry river. At the highest point of this continuous palace complex is a black palace.

The palace faces the starry sky and looks magnificent. At this moment, on both sides of the hall, figures exuding powerful auras are sitting cross-legged.

They were all gods!
Looking around, there were nearly a hundred celestial beings, each a top-tier expert in their own star field, yet they were all incredibly respectful.

At the far end of the palace, on the throne, sat a woman dressed in black, exuding an aura of destruction.

suddenly.

A spatial fluctuation swept by, and a figure in a green robe appeared out of thin air. Nearly a hundred celestial beings on both sides of the hall turned their heads to look at the figure in the green robe.

He remained expressionless and bowed slightly, saying, "Lord Li Shu, I have spoken with Lord Dong Yu, and he is still unwilling to back down. Moreover, it seems that the Abyss Divine Court has also provided substantial support and intends to form an alliance with me for a battle."

"Unwilling to back down? That's for the best." The woman in black on the throne spoke in an icy voice: "What I'm hoping for is that he won't back down."

The woman on the throne was none other than Li Yuan's personally taught disciple, 'Li Shu'.

She was Li Yuan's personal disciple before he went to the Immortal World. She had extraordinary talent and potential. She had already achieved the strength of a Divine Lord in just a thousand years. Later, as Li Yuan's strength and status rose, her status also rose accordingly.

Especially after numerous god emperors submitted, alliances were established, and the major divine courts were unified, her status soared even further, and even the god kings dared not neglect her.

Li Shu did not disappoint this expectation. In just a few thousand years, he had already ranked among the top 100 on the 'Gods Ranking' of the Heart Source Universe.

"go!"

"This star field is mine to take from the Chaos Divine Court." Li Shu took a step forward and arrived in the outer starry sky: "The Abyss Divine Court? They have no other choice but to retreat."

these years.

After the establishment of the new alliance, only two major forces remained in the entire Xinmeng Universe: the new alliance led by Li Yuan and the Abyss God Emperor led by the Abyss God Emperor.

Although the highest levels of both sides have maintained restraint and no major war has broken out, in some star fields where no god-king has yet been born, the true gods and celestial gods of the two major forces have already engaged in bloody clashes and battles, vying for these territories.

Both sides' top officials were indifferent to these clashes and battles, regarding them as a way to hone the younger generation.

"Let's go!" "Let's follow the Divine Lord and charge forward."

"Start the war!" The nearly one hundred gods in the hall were quite excited. Soon after, with Li Shu using void teleportation, they marched in a mighty force to 'East Jade Star' in the Southern Punishment Star Region.

This is the core of the Eastern Jade Divine Kingdom, and also the lair of the strongest being in the Southern Punishment Star Region, the 'Eastern Jade Divine Lord'.

"coming."

On Dongyu Star, over a hundred celestial beings, including Dongyu Divine Lord, instantly sensed the vast aura that appeared out of nowhere tens of millions of kilometers away.

"The war is about to begin."

"bring it on."

"These bastards have been relentlessly aggressive, almost completely occupying the entire Divine Realm, yet they still refuse to give up." A hint of anger shone in the eyes of these Abyss Gods.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! A group of celestial beings instantly left Dongyu Star, and then gathered around the outer perimeter of Dongyu Star to form one towering battle formation after another, each millions of kilometers high.

The thirty-six celestial gods joined forces, and in the blink of an eye, a three-god battle formation was formed. Their powerful aura swept across the entire world, causing even the starry river to tremble.

"That is?"

"Is it a god?"

"It is the King!" Countless lives on Dongyu Star looked up at the starry sky and saw the three enormous and majestic figures. Their terrifying aura made countless lives tremble.

"Li Shu! Others may fear you, but I, Dong Yu, am not." Dong Yu, the Divine Lord, commanded the Heavenly God Battle Formation, brandishing his massive twin swords. His powerful voice echoed through the starry sky, rippled through the space.

"Li Shu?"

"That legendary peerless god?" The illusory gods and mortals on Dongyu Star did not know, but the hundreds of true gods trembled in their hearts. Over the years, Li Shu had roamed all corners of the divine realm, killing countless people, and countless powerful figures had died under her spear.

These are extremely famous, and the true gods know this.

"Just you?"

"The Heavenly God Battle Formation?" Li Shu's eyes turned cold. He took a step forward, causing the space to tremble, as if he had teleported, and had already arrived above Dongyu Star.

The other gods who followed could only watch from afar.

They had all received orders from Li Shu that they did not need to participate in this battle; they could simply observe.

Whoosh! A black spear appeared in Li Shu's hand. With a swing of the spear, the shaft instantly expanded to a million kilometers in length and thrust straight out.

A black spear light pierced the sky and earth.

fast!
too fast!
As the spear's light swept past, the entire protective formation of Dongyu Star completely collapsed and disintegrated.

"What? How is that possible?"

"Breaked with a single shot? How can she be so strong?"

"They're much stronger than described in the intelligence. This is only in the top 100 of the Heavenly God Ranking? They're definitely in the top ten!" The Dongyu Divine Lord and his group, who were originally full of fighting spirit, were suddenly terrified.

They originally intended to use the formation to engage in a fierce battle.

"escape."

"Hurry up and go." Dongyu Shenjun and the others had the idea of ​​retreating and tried to escape.

"Escape now? Too late!"

Li Shu's voice was filled with boundless killing intent, and the mighty spear light ripped through the endless starry sky, the destructive aura making these gods feel a tightness in their chests.

"Wow!"

Wherever the spear's light touched, space shattered layer by layer. Even though Dongyu Divine Lord tried his best to resist, the Heavenly God Battle Formation he commanded collapsed instantly, and more than ten Heavenly Gods were instantly affected and killed.

"Pfft~" Dongyu Divine Lord was also severely injured.

"A God-King level technique!"

"It must be a God-King level move!" Dongyu God-King roared in his heart. He had never expected that the other party would be able to comprehend a God-King level move after only a few thousand years of cultivation.

A divine weapon, combined with divine-king level techniques—this is already the limit of a normal god's power!
Just as Li Shu was about to take action and kill Dongyu Shenjun completely.

at this time--

A very faint fluctuation emanated from the endless starry sky and instantly swept outwards from the endless sea of ​​stars.

but!

The gods, at least those who had comprehended a complete law, and most of them even had a profound understanding of the laws of space, all sensed this fluctuation... a tremor originating from the very source of the entire divine realm.

"what happened?"

"This fluctuation seems to... originate from the origin of the divine realm."

"It is heaven and earth themselves."

"What's going on? It seems like the whole world is gripped by fear." Hundreds of gods from both sides, including Li Shu and Dongyu Divine Lord, trembled in their hearts and instinctively felt boundless fear.

This sense of fear is not because they are afraid of anything.

Rather, it was a kind of ominous warning from fate, as if a great terror was about to descend, about to sweep across the entire world and destroy everything.

"What on earth happened? This feeling of fear!" Li Shu was deeply shaken; she was the one who felt it most profoundly among everyone present.

Subconsciously.

She stopped attacking... Compared to the immense threat emanating from the darkness, killing Dongyu Shenjun and the others was a trivial matter.

At the same time, she couldn't help but send a message to her master.

call!
Silently, a figure in green appeared beside Li Shu. When he appeared, everything in the world seemed to lose its luster, and time seemed to stand still.

He was like the ultimate truth of the universe, representing the only one.

The hundreds of gods on both sides held their breath and stared at the figure in blue, their hearts trembling with awe and instinctively feeling a sense of worship.

"Master." Li Shu bowed excitedly.

The word "Master" sent a shiver down the spines of all the gods on both sides, who realized who the newcomer was: the supreme being of heaven and earth who had stood at the pinnacle of the divine realm and had once commanded the submission of all emperors.

"Hmm." Li Yuan nodded slightly and looked at his disciple.

"Master, what's wrong with this fluctuation?" Li Shu couldn't help but ask.

“Something big has happened.” Li Yuan’s voice was calm, his gaze distant, as if he could see a scene beyond endless space and time: “This is no longer something you can interfere with. Go back to the Ziwei Star Region first.”

"Yes." Li Shu didn't dare to ask any more questions.

Nearly a hundred gods belonging to the alliance also bowed respectfully. They were all extremely excited. Being able to meet the legendary Lord of the Alliance today was definitely something to brag about.

"As for you?" Li Yuan's gaze swept over Dongyu Divine Lord and the others, and with just one glance, their souls felt as if they were about to split apart.

call!
An invisible wave teleported the group of gods out of this star field and sent Li Shu and the others directly back to the 'Ziwei Star Field' where the Chaos Divine Court headquarters was located.

In this starry sky, only Li Yuan remained.

"Sacrifice realm?"

"I didn't expect you to be so daring, Yun Jing," Li Yuan muttered to himself, his eyes filled with endless killing intent.

Even the gods could sense it, let alone Li Yuan.
Having reached Li Yuan's level, he could resonate with the origin of the universe. At this moment, he could sense the messages transmitted by the origin of the universe: 'Danger,' 'Danger,' 'Source of danger'... The entire universe seemed to be facing the crisis of annihilation!
If left unchecked, the entire universe will be plunged into annihilation.

The origin of the universe is incredibly powerful, yet in reality, it is quite weak because it has no consciousness; it is merely a collection of rules at work. Without a powerful Emperor-level being in charge, it wouldn't be too difficult for the Supreme Beings to destroy a region of the universe.

Even without consciousness, when faced with the danger of annihilation, its instinct will cause it to call for help from the powerful life forms it has nurtured.

Li Yuan is one of the most powerful life forms he has conceived within the perception of the origin of the universe.

"The source of danger is in the Abyss Star Region." Li Yuan could clearly sense it, and with a thought, he quickly headed towards the Abyss Star Region.

It's not just Li Yuan.

At this moment, all the God Emperors in the entire Dream Universe have sensed the dramatic change in the origin of the universe.
