Chapter 426: Assassination! Li Li Li Yuan

Ever since meeting the True God of Nine Sounds, Li Li Li Yuan had established a connection with the Nine Sounds Pavilion and had even exchanged some words with its master, the "Void Illusion True God."

During these two-plus months in the Royal Capital.

Aside from his daily cultivation, Li Li Li Yuan had been asking the Void Illusion True God to purchase various treasures, all of which were needed for his upcoming cultivation of Star Arts.

Li Li Li Yuan had thought this through very clearly.

In the future, once he awakened his Nine Star Veins and broke through to become a Demigod, as a Nine Star Veins cultivator, his Source Power would rapidly climb to level 42 or even 43. Coupled with Source Power entering his body... he would quickly meet the requirements for cultivating Tier 4, Ninth-Layer Star Arts.

Therefore, rather than begging to purchase them later, it was better to prepare now.

The Nine Sounds Pavilion, besides being a place of pleasure, also conducted business in buying and selling all kinds of treasures. Its various channels and influence were astonishing, far exceeding ordinary shops.

Most importantly, given Li Li Li Yuan's identity, the Void Illusion True God would never dare to cheat him.

"I didn't expect it would take the Nine Sounds Pavilion over a month just to acquire the Void Illusion Rare Stone," Li Li Li Yuan thought to himself.

Among the five Star Arts he cultivated, only "Nine Shadow Clones" was a Seventh-Layer Star Art. Although its power was decent, it was far from comparable to the Ninth-Layer Star Art "Ten Thousand Shadow Void." Li Li Li Yuan had long wanted to replace it.

And the key treasure needed to cultivate "Ten Thousand Shadow Void" was the Void Illusion Rare Stone.

Back in the Seven Star Civilization, Li Li Li Yuan had once asked Senior Senior Senior Dongfang Ji about it, but the other party couldn't produce it.

It wasn't until today.

Through the Nine Sounds Pavilion, Li Li Li Yuan finally had the opportunity to obtain it.

"Fortunately."

"The Star Awakening Continent was once part of the Divine Domain, and various inheritances have not been lost," Li Li Li Yuan smiled. "The names of the vast majority of treasures are the same as those in the Divine Domain, which saves me a lot of trouble."

If the treasure names were different, even if such treasures existed on the Star Awakening Continent, Li Li Li Yuan might not have been able to buy them.

*Whoosh! *

Li Li Li Yuan flew out of the Divine Fire Palace, following the street, heading straight toward the Nine Sounds Pavilion.

"Young Master Xu Li Li Yuan, heading out again?" The two Demigod commanders at the entrance bowed to Li Li Li Yuan.

"Mm." Li Li Li Yuan nodded casually.

Li Li Li Yuan had just flown a few dozen kilometers out of the Divine Fire Palace.

A Demigod wearing white robes seemed to have just flown out from a cave dwelling. He kept his head slightly lowered, as if pondering something, and flew straight toward Li Li Li Yuan's direction.

"A Demigod? Level 46?" Li Li Li Yuan glanced at him casually and didn't take it to heart.

For so long, Li Li Li Yuan had occasionally traveled through the city like this and had never encountered danger. Naturally, his vigilance wouldn't be that high, nor would he pay much attention to the occasional Demigod flying through the streets.

Like now, within a ten-kilometer radius of Li Li Li Yuan, there were quite a few Demigods flying about.

Li Li Li Yuan simply assumed that the destination of this white-robed Demigod just happened to overlap with his own flight path.

After all, according to the Void God Shaxi and Zha Zha Jiang Shan, as long as Li Li Li Yuan did not leave the Royal Capital of the Li Li Yuan Kingdom, there would basically be no danger.

*Whoosh! Whoosh! *

The distance between the two closed rapidly, from the original five or six kilometers to one kilometer in the blink of an eye.

One kilometer, for the level of a Void God, was already incredibly close.

Even for a Demigod powerhouse, this was a very dangerous signal.

Li Li Li Yuan subconsciously took another look at the other party.

"Hm? Something's wrong!" A flash of vigilance crossed Li Li Li Yuan's mind. "I clearly prepared to turn and slightly shifted my direction, yet his flight trajectory also changed slightly in an instant... Could he be coming for me?"

But this reaction seemed a bit late.

*BOOM! *

The white-robed Demigod's speed erupted in that instant, rushing toward Li Li Li Yuan like lightning.

Before his speed erupted, a nearly transparent crystal and a fiery red crystal sphere had already appeared in his palm.

*Snap~*

*Snap~* Both crystals shattered directly. The moment the first nearly transparent crystal shattered, it emitted a strange power that caused the surrounding void to begin condensing layer by layer.

And the moment the other fiery red sphere shattered, a heart-trembling scarlet flame radiated from within it.

"*BOOM! ~*" The violent flame power, the moment the space condensed, converged into one, crazily invading Li Li Li Yuan like a fire dragon.

The power was terrifying.

"Not good."

"Something's happening."

"It's a Law Secret Treasure." Whether it was the two Demigod guards of the Divine Fire Palace or some Demigod powerhouses passing by, they all sensed the abnormality in the distance, and their expressions couldn't help but change.

Demigods had sufficient insight; they judged almost instantly that this was the power of a Law Secret Treasure.

It was a terrifying power belonging to the Void God level.

"It's an assassination, aimed at Young Master Xu Li Li Yuan."

"Any Law Secret Treasure has power reaching the Void God level. To kill Young Master Xu Li Li Yuan, a Sky-Flying level, would probably take only one encounter." The two Demigod commanders, separated by dozens of kilometers, felt a chill and some panic. "He can't block it. Even a peak Demigod powerhouse has a very high probability of falling when facing an attack of this level."

It was too fast.

Let alone the fact that these two Demigods had no time to save him, even if they had the strength, they wouldn't be able to save him in time.

The two of them instinctively began sending messages for reinforcements.

"*Rumble~*" The array restrictions of the Royal Capital high in the void had already sensed the drastic change in the Heaven and Earth Source Power below and immediately began to trigger, but it would take time.

The most critical point was that this void was condensing layer by layer, causing the operation of the Source Power array in this area to produce a slight sense of sluggishness.

Perhaps it was only a second's difference, but that second was the difference between life and death.

It could be said.

In this instant, the defensive power of the Li Li Yuan Kingdom Royal Capital's array could not save Li Li Li Yuan; he had to rely on himself.

"It's an assassination!"

"It's an explosive space-type secret treasure, one that freezes spatial fluctuations." Gu You's voice also rang out anxiously in an instant. "Li Li Li Yuan! Run! Influenced by this spatial secret treasure, whether I want to move you into the Ancient God Palace or you want to take any treasure out of your storage artifact, it will take time."

The communication between the two was via divine sense, which was extremely fast.

"I understand." Li Li Li Yuan already understood his situation. Whether it was taking out a Void God puppet or escaping into the Ancient God Palace... under the influence of the spatial secret treasure, it was too late.

Even taking out those two Law Secret Treasures would become slow.

Because the other party used a space-type Law Secret Treasure, which was extremely rare, and the abilities they contained were usually incredibly bizarre.

The ability of this spatial secret treasure was to freeze the surrounding space.

"If I could condense the Intent of Space, I could instantly restore this area to normal, but my insight is not enough yet." Many thoughts flashed through Li Li Li Yuan's mind. "I can only fight for my life."

"Must block it."

*BOOM! *

In fact, Li Li Li Yuan, having sensed the abnormality, had already begun to erupt the moment the other party's two secret treasures were deployed.

He had to use his life-saving means and fight with all his might.

Li Li Li Yuan's body instantly grew to ten meters tall, becoming incredibly burly, his life aura surging violently, and he was immediately completely wrapped in heavy, earthy-yellow battle armor.

Ninth-Layer Star Art "Myriad Things Divine Body"!

"*ROAR~* *ROAR~* *ROAR~*" Nine yellow dragons roared out, and under the infusion of surging Source Power, they erupted violently, followed by a hazy earthy-yellow airflow that centered on Li Li Li Yuan and impacted in all directions.

Divine Artifact Nine Dragon Profound Armor!

Ninth-Layer Star Art "Heaven and Earth River"!

"Nine Shadow Clones!" *Swish! Swish! Swish! * In the vast domain, nine Li Yuans appeared simultaneously, each holding a dark red divine spear.

Dark Star Divine Spear.

It should be known that in daily life, the several divine artifacts Li Li Li Yuan used were shrunk and carried on his person, precisely to avoid the critical moment where he wouldn't have time to take them out of his storage artifact.

Li Li Li Yuan, erupting with full force, had nine figures, each appearing real, with monstrous momentum. Under the convergence of endless surging airflows, a miniature star seemed to appear in the center of the street, with nine dragons surging.

"KILL!"

Nine long spears, one real and eight false, nine Li Yuans erupted simultaneously, unleashing their strongest spear techniques, and collided with that world-destroying flame power.

... *Whoosh~* While the white-robed youth deployed the two secret treasures at close range, he was also trying his best to draw the Void God Star Cicada out of his cave-dwelling artifact.

It was just that the spatial secret treasure had an influence on Li Li Li Yuan, causing Li Li Li Yuan to be unable to even take out his Void God-level puppet, leaving him to face the battle alone.

Likewise, this spatial secret treasure also had a certain influence on the Void God Star Cicada; he also needed to spend some time to rush out of the cave-dwelling artifact.

"This Xu Li Li Yuan is a genius highly valued by the Li Li Yuan Kingdom. They must value him immensely and definitely have life-saving items."

"If I appear directly, perhaps in that instant, he will hide in a cave-dwelling artifact or instantly take out some life-saving items, such as a Void God puppet... that would be troublesome. I don't have enough time." The Void God Star Cicada had considered many plans.

"No matter how many treasures he has or how high his talent is, one point cannot change: he is only at the Sky-Flying level, and the strength he can erupt with is limited."

"The first goal is to make him unable to take out his life-saving items. This is the function of the spatial secret treasure... This spatial secret treasure was bestowed by a True God and has astonishing value."

"Then, order the Demigod to simultaneously deploy the fire-type Law Secret Treasure. With power reaching the Void God level, killing a Sky-Flying level is easy."

"The two great secret treasures, logically, are enough to annihilate him."

"As for myself, it will be the same as a conventional assassination... If the first two fail, it will be the final struggle, with me launching soul attacks and physical attacks." The Void God Star Cicada had considered many possibilities.

!.

In fact.

His means had worked, making Li Li Li Yuan unable to escape or take out his life-saving items in the first instance, leaving him only to face the battle.

But the only thing the Void God Star Cicada miscalculated was Li Li Li Yuan's strength!!

"What is that?" The Void God Star Cicada sensed the outside world with his divine sense. The moment before rushing out of the cave-dwelling artifact, he sensed Li Li Li Yuan's instantaneous eruption, and a look of disbelief appeared in his eyes: "How is that possible!!"

On the streets of the Royal Capital.

"*BOOM! *"

The Heaven and Earth River, combined with the nine great yellow dragons, had power even stronger than before after Li Li Li Yuan's insight into the Law of Earth broke through, but facing that violent, endless flame divine dragon, it still collapsed directly.

Then.

Li Li Li Yuan, deploying multiple Star Arts and divine artifacts, erupted with his full strength, facing the violent flame divine dragon that was killing him.

"*BANG! * *BANG! * *BANG! *" The eight clones were destroyed almost instantly. These shadow clones only had a small portion of Li Li Li Yuan's strength, and this deceptive effect was useless against the flame divine dragon.

The flame divine dragon had already surged toward Li Li Li Yuan in a mighty manner.

However, through the two means of the domain and shadow clones, the power of the flame divine dragon was slightly weakened.

"*Rumble~*"

The flame divine dragon's incredibly scorching power, containing unbelievable might, caused even the space to ripple slightly, directly impacting in front of Li Li Li Yuan.

The impact of a Void God-level secret treasure usually causes peak Demigod powerhouses to fall directly.

"*BOOM! * *BOOM! * *BOOM! *" Almost like lightning, the flame divine dragon collided with Li Li Li Yuan three times.

The first collision, the terrifying aftermath impacted in all directions, making Li Li Li Yuan feel as if a world was crushing down. The long spear in his hand almost flew out of his grip, he vomited blood, and his whole body flew backward.

The second collision, Li Li Li Yuan's muscles and bones were already shattered layer by layer, and his whole body almost became a bloody mess.

The third collision, Li Li Li Yuan's two arms exploded directly, and under the terrifying impact, his internal organs were shattering layer by layer.

After three collisions with the flame divine dragon, Li Li Li Yuan's body was already half-ruined.

It should be known that after comprehending the fourth form of "Boundary Cloud Spear," and relying on many powerful Star Arts and divine artifacts, Li Li Li Yuan's frontal combat power had completely surpassed the peak of Demigods and entered the limit level of Demigods.

The Myriad Things Divine Body and Nine Dragon Profound Armor were both extremely good at defense... however, they still couldn't block the violent impact of a Law Secret Treasure.

"*ROAR~*"

Although the flame divine dragon's power had faded by more than half.

It still contained terrifying power and roared as it killed him again.

"Not good." Li Li Li Yuan's expression was solemn; he was already seriously injured.

Once the power of a Law Secret Treasure fully erupts, it can even annihilate a Demigod limit, and it wasn't something he, a Sky-Flying level, could fully withstand.

Just at this moment.

"*SHING! *"

In the void between Li Li Li Yuan and the flame divine dragon, a nearly transparent divine sword appeared out of thin air.

"This?" Li Li Li Yuan's pupils shrank slightly; he felt a terrifying threat from this divine sword.

It was as if as long as the other party exerted a little force, he would definitely die.

"*WHOOSH! *"

The divine sword moved suddenly, and the space was cut like a mirror surface. The incredibly violent flame divine dragon was directly split into two halves, followed by heavy annihilation.

The flame divine dragon, which had previously had monstrous momentum, was annihilated in an instant.

"This?"

"I survived? Who is this?" Li Li Li Yuan had already seen clearly that the person holding the divine sword was a blurry figure, as if hidden in another space.

A God!

At least a peak Void God powerhouse.

"From the moment I was attacked to erupting to block the impact of the Law Secret Treasure, less than 0.3 seconds have passed... Even if the surrounding Void Gods sensed it, they couldn't have arrived so quickly." Many thoughts flashed through Li Li Li Yuan's mind. "Unless... this Void God has been guarding by my side all along, they couldn't have arrived so quickly."

Up to now, influenced by the spatial secret treasure, even the Royal Capital's protective array had not descended.

"A God?"

"Arrived so quickly?" The Void God Star Cicada finally rushed out of the cave-dwelling artifact, his eyes full of shock: "Damn it! Damn it! A Sky-Flying level, how could he withstand several impacts of a Law Secret Treasure? This Xu Li Li Yuan definitely has Demigod limit strength."

Sky-Flying level, erupting with Demigod limit strength? What kind of monstrous genius is this?

But the Void God Star Cicada had no time to think more.

Because—

"*WHOOSH! *" That blurry-figured God had already held the nearly transparent divine sword and attacked.

If placed in another dimension, the divine sword would appear hazy, its form eerily unpredictable.

"Puff~" Before the sword even arrived, the invisible ripples radiating from the blade alone caused the white-robed demigod's body to turn into dust and vanish.

The sword light lunged straight at the Star Cicada Void God.

"Perish!"

"Soul attack!" The Star Cicada Void God gritted his teeth, knowing that material annihilation of Li Li Li Yuan was already difficult, so his gaze fell directly onto Li Li Li Yuan.

Hum~ An invisible soul ripple descended.

This was a long-premeditated, all-out strike from a peak Void God powerhouse who was quite proficient in the Dao of the soul.

This kind of close-range soul attack could not be blocked even by a True God; Li Li Li Yuan could only endure it himself.

At the same instant.

"A Heaven-Flying level, no matter how powerful his soul will is, his soul cannot possibly be at the Void God level. He must have a very strong will... I don't seek to directly destroy his soul, only to make him lose focus for an instant."

"That will be enough."

"Enough to kill him." The Star Cicada Void God looked up, sensing the divine sword descending, a trace of madness in his eyes: "All of you go to hell! Explode! Explode! Explode for me!"

Boom—

The heavens and earth shook. The gray-robed Star Cicada Void God's entire body instantly erupted with endless flames, turning into a massive fireball, followed by an explosion like a miniature star!! The terrifying power surged in all directions! A radius of several hundred kilometers was within the attack range.

Sacrificial Divine Fire! Self-detonation!

This was a deity's final resort, using life as the price, and usually their most powerful move.

From the moment the Star Cicada Void God entered the capital of the Li Li Yuan Kingdom, he had never intended to leave alive.
