Chapter 322: Law Oath!
The arena in the hall was very large.
But the running speed of these hundreds of silver-armored warriors all exceeded the speed of sound, and in a very short time, they had already charged to close range with fierce momentum.
Separated by hundreds of meters, with Li Yuan's eyesight, he could even clearly see the tiny pores on the faces of these silver-armored warriors... except for the sound of the earth trembling faintly.
There was not even the sound of breathing.
"Suppress!"
Li Yuan's heart moved, and immediately, within a radius of over a hundred meters, fine airflows appeared out of thin air. The two great Profound Meaning comprehensions combined, and then integrated with Heaven-Flying level Source power. The resulting airflow was like sharp blades.
"Poof~" "Poof!" Countless airflows, containing astonishing power, frantically cut through those silver-armored warriors, causing these warriors to either have their arms cut off, their bodies torn apart, or their heads cut off directly.
They fell one after another!
Subsequently, the bodies of these silver-armored warriors turned into countless silver liquid, re-integrating into the arena floor.
However.
At the edge of the arena, more silver liquid rose up, re-condensing to form silver-armored warriors, which then whistled and killed Li Yuan again.
Like waves upon waves, they charged at Li Yuan endlessly.
"These silver-armored warriors all have the strength of high-level Source martial artists." Li Yuan thought to himself: "However, they can't even break through my Profound Meaning domain."
In the blink of an eye, over five hundred silver-armored warriors had been completely shredded by Li Yuan's domain.
Suddenly.
"Second fold!" A cold voice sounded in Li Yuan's mind; it was the voice of Venerable Qiu Bing.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The number of silver-armored warriors appearing at the edge of the arena was even greater, and their running speed was also significantly faster.
"Their strength has generally improved, approaching top-level Source martial artists?" Li Yuan frowned.
But this increase in strength did not have much impact. Relying on his Profound Meaning domain, Li Yuan could still sweep through them, and not a single silver-armored warrior could get within fifty meters of Li Yuan.
"Third-fold trial." The cold voice sounded again.
"Poof!" "Whoosh~" The power of the Profound Meaning domain was astonishing, able to kill the newly condensed silver-armored warriors one by one, but it was clearly more strenuous than before.
"If it were an ordinary Heaven-Flying martial artist, wanting to withstand the siege of so many top-level Source martial artists, they would have to peel a layer of skin even if they didn't die." Li Yuan thought to himself.
But facing the obstruction of the domain, these warriors still couldn't get close to Li Yuan.
The last silver-armored warrior rushed to about twenty meters away from Li Yuan before being strangled by the Profound Meaning domain.
By this time, let alone using weapons, Li Yuan hadn't even moved his body.
"Fourth-fold trial!"
The strength of the silver-armored warriors in the fourth-fold trial suddenly soared by a large margin. The countless Profound Meaning airflows like blades cutting on them could only cut small wounds.
"Heaven-Flying level body?" A trace of coldness flashed in Li Yuan's eyes, and a weapon appeared in his palm.
Boom!
Li Yuan finally moved, swinging his long spear, whistling as he attacked those silver-armored warriors.
"Poof!" "Boom!" "Boom!" These silver-armored warriors had killing intent soaring to the sky, surging toward Li Yuan like a tide, and then spear beams flashed past, and their bodies were swiftly torn apart.
With one sweep of the spear, patches of silver-armored warriors fell.
"Too weak." Li Yuan couldn't help but shake his head. He hadn't even unleashed his two strongest Star Arts; after all, he had to save Source power. Now he was purely relying on the eruption of his long spear and skills.
Without unleashing Star Arts, the power of Li Yuan's spear technique was enough to rival level 33.
Fifth-fold trial!
Sixth-fold trial... Li Yuan kept slaughtering at an astonishing speed, not giving these silver-armored warriors a chance to stack their numbers at all.
Inner layer of the mothership, in a very deep area.
Here, there was a huge light screen projection, and what was revealed in the projection was exactly the scene of Li Yuan accepting the ten-fold trial.
"Master, what do you think of him?" The huge black flying snake phantom said respectfully: "His killing speed is astonishing. Now that he has killed to the sixth fold, he hasn't even unleashed his body-refining Star Art... He has every hope of rushing through the ten-fold trial."
"Hope is not great." A gentle voice sounded: "If his Source power is sufficient, he will definitely be able to pass."
"But he is ultimately a Source martial artist, and there is an upper limit to Source power storage. The stronger the Star Art power, the more Source power is consumed during the battle... there are gains and losses."
"However, passing the ninth fold shouldn't be difficult." The gentle voice said: "Later, in the inner layer, if he spends a bit more time, he can also come to see me."
"Only 20 years old, the Qixing Civilization shouldn't be particularly strong, and the cultivation he received isn't considered good, yet he can combine the two great Profound Meanings of Earth and Wind to this extent... he is very monstrous."
"Clearly only second-rank, yet he can cultivate so many powerful Star Arts, it must be an ultimate body-refining technique, which shows that his star pulse talent is also extremely high, and his potential is astonishing... Overall, his talent is so high that whether it was me or the six deities under my command, none of us could compare to him when we were young." The gentle voice said.
"Congratulations, Master, you have finally waited for a suitable candidate." The black flying snake phantom said respectfully.
"Don't congratulate me yet."
"So what if he is monstrous? It also depends on his final choice." The gentle voice said slowly: "If he is unwilling, the more monstrous he is, the greater the threat he poses to me."
"This subordinate understands."
"If he makes the wrong choice, then, instead, he must be eradicated as soon as possible." The black flying snake phantom said.
"Oh, the eighth-fold trial is about to begin."
Alien God area, trial ground.
"Boom!"
"Boom!" "Boom!" Those silver warriors whistled, and the auras they exuded were already extremely powerful, even beginning to draw upon the power of heaven and earth.
Powerful!
Every silver warrior had combat power that had reached the Heaven-Flying level. Li Yuan's Profound Meaning domain surged, but it could no longer cause much damage to them, only serving to bind them, slowing down their speed and making it harder for them to surround him.
"Passing the six-fold trial, I am already qualified to become a personal disciple of the Alien God." Li Yuan's eyes were cold: "However, it's only the eighth-fold trial, and they are all Heaven-Flying level? Is the difficulty this high?"
He was only 20 years old; logically speaking, the difficulty of his trial should be a large margin lower than Xue Yan's.
"Whoosh!"
Li Yuan's figure flickered, and he turned into five meters tall on the spot. A violent aura dissipated, and he finally unleashed the ultimate body-refining technique 'Myriad Things Divine Body'.
"Poof!" "Whoosh!" "Boom~" Li Yuan's speed and strength soared instantly, his figure was like a ghost, and the power of his spear technique also soared from the previous level 33 to the level 35.
Wherever the long spear reached, silver-armored warriors fell to the ground, and not one could block Li Yuan's spear.
It was just that the Source power, which had been consumed slowly before, was now being consumed ten times faster.
"Kill! Kill! Kill! I must kill at the fastest speed." Li Yuan was worried about long nights bringing many dreams.
Unleashing Star Arts was indeed terrifying in strength, but compared to true Heaven-Flying martial artists, what Li Yuan lacked was a 'Source Core'. In terms of Source power recovery speed and storage, he was far inferior.
Precisely because of this, in the past, when Li Yuan fought with many Heaven-Flying powerhouses, he always pursued quick battles.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Li Yuan, erupting with the Myriad Things Divine Body, was extremely brutal, directly sweeping through these silver-armored warriors whose combat power had reached the Heaven-Flying level.
In the ninth-fold trial, the strength of the silver-armored warriors did not increase again, but their skills were clearly more sophisticated.
"《Nine Shadows Clone》!" Li Yuan unleashed his final trump card without hesitation.
Swish! Swish! Swish! Nine Li Yuans flickered in the void, forming nine dazzling threads.
The killing speed soared again.
The consumption of Source power was even more astonishing.
"Recover! Recover quickly!" The six star pulses in Li Yuan's body operated, frantically absorbing the power from the outside world, striving to convert it into his own Source power.
The stronger the star pulses, not only could they store more Source power, but the faster they could recover Source power.
... A quarter of an hour later.
Accompanied by the last silver-armored warrior falling to the ground.
Turning into silver liquid and merging into the arena, Li Yuan woke up from this extreme crazy slaughter.
"Wiped out?" Li Yuan thought to himself, the entire arena had become completely quiet.
"My Source power, only less than one-tenth left?" Li Yuan felt a lingering fear in his heart.
The silver-armored warriors in the final ninth-fold and tenth-fold trials were too powerful, estimated to have strength close to level 32. Each one required Li Yuan to attack with full force to kill... Fortunately, these silver-armored warriors seemed to have low intelligence and did not truly coordinate their attacks.
Otherwise, I'm afraid Li Yuan would have exhausted his Source power before killing them all.
Hum~
A large amount of light gathered, forming the burly figure with a single horn. His eyes carried a trace of surprise: "Spirit Spear, you actually passed? Unleashing so many Star Arts and fighting with full force for so long, your Source power could actually sustain it."
"Could it be that you are not a six-star pulse, but a seven-star pulse?" Venerable Qiu Bing asked curiously: "Even if it were a seven-star pulse, according to common sense, it might not be able to pass the ten-fold trial."
Li Yuan couldn't help but smile.
Seven-star pulse?
He was indeed only a six-star pulse, but each star pulse was extremely strong, and he had three 'perfect star pulses'. In terms of Source power recovery speed alone, I'm afraid many seven-star pulses were not as good as him.
Like the deity Gu Ju, he was a seven-star pulse, but he only had two nine-fold star pulses.
"Senior, does this count as passing the trial?" Li Yuan asked.
"Naturally it counts."
"The ten-fold trial left behind by the Heavenly Snake deity never thought that anyone could pass the trial." Venerable Qiu Bing said: "After all, your civilizations are too weak, it's hard to even give birth to a seven-star pulse, what kind of peerless genius could be born?"
Li Yuan was speechless, listening to Venerable Qiu Bing, it seemed that a seven-star pulse didn't count for much.
But thinking about the other party's identity, he was relieved.
A seven-star pulse was a legend to many civilizations in this dimensional domain, and many Demigods found it hard to encounter one in their lifetime... because Demigods could only live for a thousand years.
And deities could live for five thousand years. They were stronger and had higher horizons, and what they could come into contact with far exceeded Demigods... Awakening a seven-star pulse was indeed an extremely strong talent for deities, but it was by no means unreachable.
"Like that little guy named Xue Yan before, who almost passed the seven-fold trial, he was actually quite good." Venerable Qiu Bing smiled: "Of course, he is far inferior to you."
"In terms of skill level, he is not much weaker than you, it's just that his Star Arts are far inferior to yours."
"Plus he is older than you, so the difficulty of the trial is higher." Venerable Qiu Bing said: "The one named Yu Jinghe from earlier was very reluctant to pass the six-fold trial."
Li Yuan couldn't help but nod, already noticing the change in Venerable Qiu Bing's attitude toward him.
Before, he didn't reveal this information at all.
"Before going to the inner layer core, you must first accept the Alien God inheritance." Venerable Qiu Bing looked at Li Yuan: "You chose the Wind-type Alien God."
Whoosh!
Venerable Qiu Bing pointed not far from the arena, and the surrounding space was trembling faintly.
Clatter~ A large amount of light gathered, condensing to form a cyan-robed phantom. His expression was quite cold, exuding an inexplicable aura, making Li Yuan feel a trace of pressure.
"Wind-type Alien God?" Li Yuan held his breath, recognizing the other party at a glance.
This cyan-robed phantom looked exactly the same as that towering statue outside.
"Hmm?" The cyan-robed phantom looked at Venerable Qiu Bing, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he quickly returned to normal.
"I am just a spiritual imprint left behind by the Wind-type deity." The cyan-robed phantom looked at Li Yuan: "According to the Alien God Envoy, you are qualified to become my personal disciple and obtain the many treasures I left behind... but you should know that I have already fallen."
"In fact, whether or not to accept a personal disciple doesn't mean much to me." The cyan-robed phantom said: "I left this inheritance, which is the request of the Venerable Lord, and also my last wish."
Li Yuan listened.
The 'Venerable Lord' in the mouth of the Wind-type Alien God should be the Heavenly Snake deity.
"I wonder what requirements you have, Senior?" Li Yuan asked.
"If you become a named disciple, there are no requirements. I will give you a gift of treasures, and you can choose one seven-fold Star Art from the Star Arts I left behind." The cyan-robed phantom said.
"If you become an inner-sect disciple, I will give you a more valuable gift. You can choose one from the Star Arts I left behind, and I will give you a 'Deity Meditation Method'." The cyan-robed phantom said: "But you must promise that after you become a deity in the future, if there is a chance, you must go to my hometown 'Frost Wind Star', find a suitable life form to be an inner-sect disciple, and do your best to teach them to become a Demigod."
"Frost Wind Star?" A trace of doubt appeared in Li Yuan's eyes.
Where is this? Never heard of it!
You must know that with Li Yuan's authority, he had contact with many alien civilizations around the Qixing Civilization... but he had never heard of Frost Wind Star or Frost Wind Planet.
"Senior, what if I can't find Frost Wind Star?" Li Yuan couldn't help but say.
"It has been less than ten thousand years, the possibility of my hometown being destroyed is also very low..." The cyan-robed phantom pondered: "If you really can't find it then, it won't count as you breaking your promise."
Li Yuan nodded slightly; this promise could be considered.
This required him to do it after becoming a deity. He was only second-rank now, and he was still far from becoming a deity.
Moreover, it was not mandatory.
"Senior, what about a personal disciple?" Li Yuan asked.
"If you want to become a personal disciple, you need to promise me that after becoming a deity, you will go to Frost Wind Star, protect it for a thousand years, and teach ten Demigod disciples, or teach a deity." The cyan-robed phantom looked at Li Yuan, a trace of expectation in his eyes: "Then, you can get all my Star Art legacies, a heavy gift, a Deity Meditation Method, and a 'Spiritual Imprint'."
Hearing this.
Li Yuan finally understood why Venerable Qiu Bing had reminded him early on to be cautious about wanting to become a personal disciple of an Alien God.
There is no free lunch in the world.
This condition was too harsh.
Protect for a thousand years? How long had he lived in total? You must know that a fifth-rank deity could only live for five thousand years.
As for teaching a deity? That was even more of a fantasy. Even if he became powerful in the future, he would still need a life form on Frost Wind Star with extremely high talent... Deities were not so easy to be born.
"Senior, can you let me see the Star Arts you left behind?" Li Yuan asked directly.
"Yes." The cyan-robed phantom nodded and waved his hand, forming a light screen phantom beside him.
On it were many Star Art names and introductions.
"Nine-fold Star Art 《True Explanation of Heavenly Wind Star Pulse》: The first six folds can improve the practitioner's compatibility with the Law of Wind, and it is the strongest in the Dimensional River..."
"Seven-fold Star Art 《Illusion Body Myriad Light》..."
"Seven-fold Star Art..."
There were dozens of Star Arts, among which one was a nine-fold Star Art, four were seven-fold Star Arts, and the rest were five-fold and six-fold Star Arts.
"Nine-fold Star Art 《True Explanation of Heavenly Wind Star Pulse》!" Li Yuan's eyes lit up, and he noticed this Star Art at a glance.
From the name to the introduction behind it, Li Yuan immediately judged that this should be the 'ultimate auxiliary Star Art' of the Wind lineage, and it should be at the same level as 《True Explanation of Earth Star Pulse》.
That's it!
Li Yuan was already tempted.
"Young man, are you willing to become my personal disciple?" The Wind-type Alien God had expectation in his eyes.
He knew that Li Yuan had passed the ten-fold trial; such a peerless genius was hard to come by.
"Senior, a thousand years is too long." Li Yuan shook his head: "The junior is willing to become your inner-sect disciple."
The treatment of a personal disciple was indeed very good, but the requirements were too harsh, and Li Yuan chose to give up after a little thought.
All the Star Arts left behind? Only that one ultimate Star Art attracted him.
The deity's spiritual imprint? Could it compare to the Martial God inheritance?
A heavy gift? Could it surpass the legacy left to him by the deity Gu Ju?
If Li Yuan's talent were worse and he were born in a weaker civilization, and he hadn't obtained the inheritance of the deity Gu Ju... perhaps he would have agreed.
But Li Yuan's external cultivation conditions were already extremely good, and the entire legacy of this Wind-type Alien God was just icing on the cake.
The cost-effectiveness was too low.
"Alright." A trace of disappointment flashed in the cyan-robed phantom's eyes.
But he also understood that for a peerless genius like Li Yuan, it was almost impossible to agree to such harsh requirements.
However, he was only a spiritual imprint left behind by the Wind-type Alien God, and he had to obey the orders left behind by the Wind-type Alien God.
"Alien God Envoy." The cyan-robed phantom looked at Venerable Qiu Bing on the side.
"Spirit Spear, words are not enough; you must swear an oath to the Great Dao Law and make a Law Oath." Venerable Qiu Bing smiled: "Only then can the Alien God be convinced."
"Law Oath?" Li Yuan felt puzzled.
"Powerhouse cultivation is all about comprehending the Law Great Dao, and the Law Great Dao also has a source will. Every powerhouse who comprehends the Great Dao is like a child of the Law Great Dao..." Venerable Qiu Bing smiled: "Swearing an oath to the Great Dao Law will be constrained by the Great Dao."
"Of course, the premise is that the swearer must step into the threshold of the Law and ignite the divine fire with the Law Great Dao... only then will the oath take effect."
"Ordinary mortals swearing an oath is of no use." Venerable Qiu Bing said: "Like you now, you haven't stepped into the threshold of the Law, and there is no constraint... But if one day you become a deity, you will naturally feel the constraint of the oath in the dark."
"If you go against your original intention and fail to complete it, you will naturally suffer the backlash of the oath." Venerable Qiu Bing said.
Li Yuan was enlightened; there was actually such a means.
But listening to Senior Qiu, it seemed that only a deity making a Law Oath would be constrained.
"This is your oath text." Venerable Qiu Bing waved his hand, and a light screen formed in front of Li Yuan, on which were many strange characters.
What surprised Li Yuan was that although he didn't recognize these characters, it didn't hinder him from understanding their meaning.
"These are 'Heaven and Earth Characters', originating from the profound meaning of heaven and earth. As long as one's comprehension of heaven and earth reaches the level of Profound Meaning, one can understand them." Venerable Qiu Bing explained: "In the vast Dimensional River, Heaven and Earth Characters are the universal characters."
Li Yuan understood.
After reading this oath text twice and confirming it was correct, Li Yuan immediately spoke: "I, swear by the Law Great Dao, if I become an inner-sect disciple of the deity Sigurd, and receive his promised gift of treasures, after becoming a deity in the future..."
The oath was made.
But Li Yuan didn't feel any change in himself, and the cyan-robed phantom had already revealed a smile.
"The oath is complete. When you step into the threshold of the Law in the future, you will have a sense." Venerable Qiu Bing smiled: "Wait until you become a deity, and you will naturally be constrained."
"Hmm." Li Yuan nodded, and then bowed slightly to the cyan-robed figure: "Teacher."
"No need to salute." The cyan-robed phantom shook his head: "For one, I am not the real deity Sigurd, and for another, this is essentially just a transaction, only a nominal master-disciple relationship."
"I can only bless you, that you successfully ignite the divine fire in the future and achieve the status of a deity." The cyan-robed phantom looked at Li Yuan with complex eyes.
Immediately, his figure dissipated with a bang.
"Hmm?"
"Gone?" Li Yuan was stunned. He hadn't given him the things yet!!
"Don't worry, the treasures are transferred by me." Venerable Qiu Bing on the side smiled: "Becoming an inner-sect disciple, the gift presented to you is ten square Five-Element Divine Crystals."
"Ten square?" Li Yuan nodded slightly; that was worth 1 million Qixing points.
"In addition, you just saw the Star Arts of the Wind-type Alien God. Which one do you want?" Venerable Qiu Bing said.
"《True Explanation of Heavenly Wind Star Pulse》." Li Yuan said without hesitation.
"This is a nine-fold Star Art, and it is only an auxiliary Star Art." Venerable Qiu Bing's eyes flashed with surprise: "You have already cultivated an ultimate body-refining Star Art, and your talent in the Earth lineage should be higher. You could completely cultivate 《True Explanation of Earth Star Pulse》."
"This 《True Explanation of Heavenly Wind Star Pulse》. If you cannot cultivate it to great success, the effect is not as good as other six-fold Star Arts. Are you sure you want it?" Venerable Qiu Bing couldn't help but advise.
"I want it." Li Yuan nodded.
Other powerhouses might worry that their star pulses were not strong enough, but he wasn't afraid. Compared to the combat power provided by offensive Star Arts... this kind of auxiliary Star Art was more important, and skill comprehension was the foundation.
If there were no 《True Explanation of Earth Star Pulse》, he couldn't have progressed so fast in the Earth lineage.
"Fine." Venerable Qiu Bing saw this and stopped persuading him, waving his hand to reveal a thin storage treasure.
It flew toward Li Yuan.
Li Yuan reached out to accept it and sensed it with his spiritual sense. The storage treasure had not been claimed, and the internal space was not large.
Besides the ten square Five-Element Divine Crystals neatly placed, there were two crystal balls exuding mysterious fluctuations.
"Deity Meditation Method? Star Art?" Li Yuan sensed it a little and confirmed it was correct, joy surging in his heart.
He didn't need this Deity Meditation Method himself, and when he turned back, he could find ways to exchange it for other things he needed for cultivation.
It could be said.
After this trip, his harvest was already very large.
"Spirit Spear, are you going to the inner layer core area now, or later?" Venerable Qiu Bing asked.
"Is there any difference?" Li Yuan said.
"No difference." Venerable Qiu Bing shook his head: "The inner layer core area is left behind by the Heavenly Snake deity. Your talent and strength are already monstrous enough, there won't be any more trials... I just remind you one thing, it is also a choice."
"If you want to gain, you must pay." Venerable Qiu Bing looked at Li Yuan.
