Devouring the Stars: Withdrawing Talents

Chapter 808 If you can't afford to offend them, can't you at least avoid them?
The Royal Palace of the Kingdom of Fanyu.

"You guys go down first!"

On his throne, looking down at the group of newly accepted disciples, King Yufan waved his hand.

For the God-King Yufan, his purpose in taking on disciples was more to deepen the understanding of cause and effect, and to comprehend the Great Dao of Cause and Effect through the entanglement of cause and effect between the two parties.

Most of these disciples were only at the Eternal True God realm. He only needed to provide them with some resources that he didn't need, and they could continuously comprehend the branches of the Great Dao of Cause and Effect.

In the Origin Continent, the relationship between master and disciple is no less than that of blood relatives, and the entanglement of cause and effect is imaginable.

King Yufan was in a good mood. Besides taking in a new batch of disciples, he never expected to obtain an Infinite Space Token within his own kingdom.

"Qingxi God King..."

"If I can't afford to mess with you, I'll just stay away from you!"

Recalling his previous encounter, King Yufan's gaze instantly turned cold. He simply couldn't muster any hatred for that powerful figure of unknown identity.

Firstly, the other party's identity is unknown; secondly, the other party is powerful enough to destroy his will in a single encounter, so their strength in reality must not be weak either.

However, while Yu Fan harbored resentment towards Qingxi God King, the attitude of Yingtian Realm clearly indicated that Qingxi God King had a very deep background.

King Yufan could only endure it. He had endured countless years, and now, it was just another person he couldn't afford to offend.

Long ago, the God King Yu Fan was also a Chaos Realm guest elder of the Thunder Ancient Kingdom. In that era, he was even a transcendent being of the Chaos Realm.

After becoming a god-king, in order not to serve those semi-out-of-control monarchs, God-King Yufan left the Thunder Kingdom and established the Fanyu Kingdom.

In two ancient kingdoms.

Many Chaos Realm retainers who break through to God King level choose to leave the two ancient kingdoms, some establishing their own kingdoms or forces.

Most of these departing god-kings believed they were strong enough to stand in this world, making them extremely difficult to destroy.

In particular, those at the second level of the God King realm are all overlords in the Origin Continent, and their goal is to break through to the Ultimate Realm.

At the very beginning.

Each of them wanted to break through to the ultimate realm on their own, since cultivating the Hunyuan bloodline had many hidden dangers.

However, reality loves to slap you in the face. As time went by, these second-level God Kings realized just how far away the ultimate God King realm was from them.

When the gap becomes too large, they will despair and take another path...

Get help from outside!

By drawing upon the bloodline of Hunyuan, we follow the path of bloodline.

Of the emperors of the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom, six cultivated using the Hunyuan bloodline. If we consider the previous lives of the emperors, there could even be seven emperors who had followed the same bloodline.

The emperors of the Thunder Kingdom all followed the Hunyuan bloodline route.

The fact that the royal families of both ancient kingdoms took this route shows that it was indeed a smooth road, and all the troubles of the Hunyuan bloodline could not overshadow its greatest advantage.

Significant improvement in strength!
One by one, powerful beings who were not royalty turned to cultivating the Hunyuan bloodline after hitting a bottleneck.

Although the Hunyuan bloodline and numerous auxiliary resources they obtained were far less than those of the emperors and monarchs of the two ancient kingdoms, they were still able to greatly improve their strength.

Yu Fan, the God King, only chose the path of the Primordial Bloodline when he could no longer advance in the first level of the God King realm, thus reaching the second level of the God King realm in one fell swoop.

"My strength is at the second level of the God King realm, which is equivalent to that of the Heavenly Kun King of the Food Kingdom."

On the throne, King Yufan pondered, "Above the King of Tiankun Kingdom, there is the Emperor of Guixu, and above that, there is the Queen of Fengdu."

"We can't take the risk. Otherwise, if our true body is destroyed by the powerful figure behind the opponent, even if we can reincarnate, the price we pay will be too high."

If one's true body is destroyed while cultivating the Hunyuan Bloodline, all the resources gained from the great price paid for it will be wasted.

This is the flaw in the cultivation path of the Hunyuan bloodline: a large amount of resources are concentrated in the physical body. Once the true body is destroyed, it's practically bankruptcy. Even if one can cultivate again using a resurrected vessel, one needs to accumulate resources all over again and cultivate the Hunyuan bloodline true body anew, making it impossible to recover peak strength in a short time.

suddenly……

The God King Yu Fan sensed something; he could feel hidden threads of cause and effect beginning to entangle him.

These causes and effects are faint, yet profound and hidden. Even he, who has mastered a branch of the Great Dao of Cause and Effect, finds it difficult to detect who these causal lines connect to.

Because he couldn't detect who was connecting, King Yufan was able to deduce the result.

"Even with my current level of understanding, I can't detect who these hidden causal lines are connected to. Could it be that some emperor or monarch has their eyes on me?"

Yu Fan, the God-King, was very flustered. He was a second-level God-King, and only those self-perfected ultimate-level life forms could perceive his causality.

Ultimate-level life forms are self-perfect and can isolate themselves from all causal observations, so he naturally cannot observe them.

Unexpected.

The temperature around the entire palace rose, and invisible crimson flames began to grow.

"Ok?"

The God-King Yu Fan's expression changed drastically. The rules governing the surrounding world shifted, becoming governed by fire, and the crimson flames spread around him...

A majestic fiery figure appeared.

His existence constantly distorted the mind and will of the God-King Yufan.

Di Yan looked at him coldly.

Just being stared at by the other party made the God-King Yufan feel as if he were being stung by a terrifying monster, as if it could shatter his true form at any moment.

"I have met the emperor."

The God-King Yu Fan trembled inwardly, but he quickly stood up and politely bowed, naturally recognizing the Emperor of the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom before him, "Emperor Yan".

"Do you know this person?" Di Yan asked coldly without uttering a single word.

Upon seeing a phantom materializing in mid-air, the Divine King Yufan immediately said, "Your Majesty, this person once destroyed one of my thoughts in the infinite space."

"Give me that memory!" Di Yan coldly commanded.

"what?"

King Yufan was taken aback for a moment, and subconsciously responded.

Di Yan's eyes suddenly turned much colder, and an invisible crimson flame instantly eroded the true form of the Yu Fan God King.

Instantly, the true form of the God King Yufan felt extreme pain, and his body was burned to a trance almost instantly, before it began to recover.

The terrifying flames deliberately restrained their power, burning the body of the God-King Yufan to the brink of destruction, yet without completely annihilating his true form.

"Your Majesty, I'll give it to you, I'll give it to you!"

The God-King Yufan immediately extracted that memory and gave it to Di Yan. Only after receiving what he wanted did Di Yan withdraw the crimson flames and quietly leave.

The reason why Emperor Yan did not directly destroy the Yu Fan God King was that he was not entirely confident that he could completely annihilate him and prevent him from reincarnating.

"That's really domineering!"

Only after the other party had completely left did the God-King Yu Fan realize with lingering fear that he had just left.

He had only hesitated for a moment, but unexpectedly he was subjected to physical torture.
