Chapter 446

"The spiritual nourishment obtained from hunting a Void God Dragon Beast is indeed far superior to that of a Demigod." Li Yuan thought to himself, "And, just as I expected, it also broke the so-called life shackles."

When slaying the first Tier-Two alien, Flying-level alien, and Demigod alien, there were similar notifications.

They also helped Li Yuan's spiritual awakening cap break through bottlenecks one after another.

"Last time I slew a Demigod alien, the shackle of my 75% spiritual awakening cap was broken." Li Yuan pondered, "Then, the cap bottleneck broken this time should be 100%."

"Meaning, as long as my soul is powerful enough, theoretically, can my spiritual awakening cap be raised all the way to 125%?" Li Yuan concluded.

It was just too difficult!

Hunting Void Gods was not very difficult for Li Yuan, so he had not been in a hurry for the past few months.

The key was the soul level.

Thinking of this, Li Yuan looked at the Divine Palace panel again:

——

【Life layer: level 47.3 (Tier-Four)】

Soul: level 55

Willpower: level 59

Spiritual awakening degree: 90% (current cap 90%)

"After I stepped into the Demigod realm, as my body grew stronger, my body nourished my soul, and my soul has been growing rapidly; in less than half a year, it grew from level 50 to 55." Li Yuan pondered silently, "Next, when my Origin Force cultivation reaches level 49.9... I estimate my soul can grow further, but I fear it will be very difficult to reach the True God level."

Among millions of Demigod powerhouses, it is hard to find even one whose soul reaches the Void God level.

Within the genius-packed Divine Fire Hall, only a few hundred people have souls that reached the Void God level... This was also the reason why Li Yuan's soul attacks were invincible during the Ranking Battle.

But even among these hundreds of peerless geniuses, soul cultivation is generally only at the initial Void God stage... like Demigod Yan Dong, Demigod Dong Pan, and others, perhaps their soul cultivation reached the mid-stage Void God level, but it is very hard to be stronger.

"In terms of soul willpower, Jing Kui might be close to me, but he should already be inferior to me." Li Yuan pondered, "The body is the carrier of the soul; Demigods nourishing the soul all have limits."

Just as it is hard for Origin Martial Artists to evolve into Demigod-level souls, and hard for Flying-level to evolve into Void God-level souls.

Li Yuan had gone through many hardships to achieve them one after another.

It also made his soul willpower stronger and stronger.

By now, less than half a year after stepping into the Demigod realm, he had already left the Demigod geniuses of the same tier far behind.

Li Yuan's current goal is to have his soul reach the True God level while in the Demigod realm.

"Judging from the experience from the eighth star pulse to the ninth star pulse, if I want to awaken the tenth star pulse as a Demigod, even if I can use a large amount of Juexing God Pills, one spiritual guidance might not be enough." Li Yuan pondered, "Not to mention the spiritual awakening cap reaching 125%, just to raise the cap to 100%, I fear my soul cultivation would need to reach level 58 or even 60."

One can imagine the difficulty.

Even with the great help of the Mental Divine Palace, Li Yuan must exert all his strength to have hope of meeting the requirements.

"One step at a time."

"Those few Demigod nine-star pulse powerhouses in the history of the Sky Snake race cultivated for hundreds of years in the Demigod stage; the weakest had level 57 strength, and the strongest even possessed strength close to a True God." Li Yuan thought to himself, "I definitely have hope of being stronger than them."

Levels 55 and 56 belong to the peak Void God level.

Levels 57 and 58 are the limit Void God level.

It is almost impossible for a Demigod to possess limit Void God strength... like Jing Kui, who is a personal disciple of a Heavenly God and belongs to the top tier among eight-star pulse Demigods, but after cultivating for many years, he only recently possessed level 55 strength.

And nine-star pulse Demigods, after hundreds of years of hidden cultivation and accumulation, can at least rival the limit Void God level.

"Star Arts are powerful, and law comprehension must also be extremely high." Li Yuan thought to himself, "Only then can I make up for the basic gap with normal limit Void God powerhouses."

"Compared to those nine-star pulse Demigods in history, I am still very immature." Li Yuan thought as he waved his hand to put away the Void God Dragon Crystal and the many treasures left behind by this Dragon Beast.

He probed slightly.

"The treasures left behind by this Dragon Beast are estimated to be less than ten thousand square Divine Crystals." Li Yuan muttered to himself, "Clearly a mid-stage Void God powerhouse, yet so poor."

Normal Void God powerhouses, even initial-stage Void God powerhouses, generally possess wealth and treasures worth ten or twenty thousand square Divine Crystals.

"Still need to save up more Divine Crystals."

"When I leave, Senior Jiang Yuan will definitely give me a portion of rare treasures." Li Yuan thought to himself, "I must also find a way to obtain a large quantity of ordinary treasures."

Having seen the token left behind by Alliance Leader Dongfang—

Li Yuan knew very well in his heart that Alliance Leader Dongfang had gone to the Divine Realm and his return to the Mortal Realm was remote; Principal Fang Hai had to guard the civilization and could not go to attempt the Nine Mountains World... then only he remained.

He had already become the actual leader of the Seven Star Civilization and naturally should shoulder the responsibilities of a leader.

"Before returning to the Seven Star Civilization—"

"Must obtain enough treasures, a large number of ordinary divine artifacts, semi-divine artifacts, and even True Divine Artifacts, Awakening Pills, etc." Li Yuan had many ideas in his heart.

This was also the reason he accepted the 'Dragon Blood Realm' trial mission.

Hoo!

"Leave this place first."

"Battles of this level cause the power of heaven and earth to fluctuate, and the range of influence is large; perhaps other Void God-level Dragon Beasts will come." Li Yuan transformed into a stream of light, rapidly rushing out of the clouds and mist, then disappearing at the end of the world.

Half an hour later.

"Boom!"

An extremely massive Void God Dragon Beast descended.

It was similar in form to the previously fallen Void God Dragon Beast, resembling a Divine Ox, only its whole body was covered in black scales, its body was even more massive, and it possessed a pair of huge wings.

After probing the traces in this area slightly—

"Ah! Mu Li Luo, my brother, who exactly killed you? Who!!" This Void God-level Dragon Beast erupted with bursts of low roars, its eyes full of rage.

The previous Void God Dragon Beast had not lied to Li Yuan.

It did indeed have some life-and-death brothers, but these Void God Dragon Beasts were all powerful figures in the Dragon Blood Realm, mostly commanding vast territories; if there was no major event, they lived separated from each other... Therefore, even if it asked for help immediately, it took a long time for this peak Void God Dragon Beast to arrive.

And Li Yuan had long since disappeared without a trace.

"Damn it!"

"Roar~" The Black-Winged Dragon Beast erupted with a heaven-shaking roar.

It did not hesitate to send a message to more Void God Dragon Beasts: "Warning! A powerful human Demigod has appeared in the range of the Xing Jia Beast Kingdom, skilled in soul attacks and domain binding... My good brother Mu Li Luo has died; must be careful."

Before dying, Void God Mu Li Luo had transmitted Li Yuan's many messages to this Black-Winged Dragon Beast.

As a peak Void God powerhouse, the Black-Winged Dragon Beast had more extensive friendships and knew many powerful existences in this area.

When external powerhouses descend into the Blood Dragon Realm to hunt Dragon Beasts, the Dragon Beasts are not stupid and naturally form alliances to resist together, or even counter-hunt.

Every fall of a Void God-level Dragon Beast would alert other Void God Dragon Beasts in the vicinity.

This was also one of the reasons why various factions dared not wantonly slay Void God Dragon Beasts.

Too much slaughter would trigger a true major war.

Soon.

"Er Se, I already know; I have already sent a message to the Demigods under my command."

"My good brother, I also know; I feel regret for the fall of Mu Li Luo." One peak Void God powerhouse after another replied to the Black-Winged Dragon Beast.

As a race possessing True Gods and a large number of Void Gods, the Dragon Beasts also had extremely high intelligence.

Long years had also formed a certain civilization inheritance for them; although far inferior to the outside world, it was very easy to refine some storage treasures, ordinary divine artifacts, communication treasures, etc.

"Among the nine major factions from beyond the heavens, the one closest to our area is the Juexing Ancient City branch."

"Such a powerful human Demigod will definitely not be an unknown person." Soon, other Dragon Beasts put forward ideas: "I suspect this is a human Demigod genius from Juexing Ancient City."

"Hmm, it's possible."

"In the past, powerful human Demigods have also appeared in Juexing Ancient City."

Li Yuan knew nothing about the subsequent impact of his slaying a Void God Dragon Beast.

He flew dozens of kilometers every second.

Several hours later, he had already flown hundreds of thousands of kilometers away; although he encountered several blood mist areas along the way, he did not enter them again.

"According to the intelligence from True God Mou Zhuo—"

"These Dragon Beasts communicate with each other; once a Void God Dragon Beast is slain in a certain area, it will alert other Void God Dragon Beasts in this area." Li Yuan slowly landed in a mountain range: "If there is too much slaughter in one area, it might even cause a True God-level Dragon Beast to appear."

"For safety's sake, it is best not to continue slaughtering in this area for a short time."

"Having flown for so long, it should be safe for now."

"Use this Origin Force infusion first." Li Yuan's mind stirred, and he entered the Ancient God Palace.

... Hoo! Li Yuan appeared out of thin air in the Ancient God Palace.

"Little brother, you can now slay a mid-stage Void God in a frontal battle." Gu You, in white clothes, marveled.

"It was just a Dragon Beast; if it were a mid-stage Void God powerhouse with a powerful civilization inheritance, it would be very hard to kill." Li Yuan shook his head.

"No need to be humble." Gu You smiled, "The nine-star pulse is indeed powerful; multiple combat Nine-Layer Star Arts cooperate with each other, making your strength powerful in all aspects, almost without any weaknesses."

"Sister, I am preparing to go into seclusion to cultivate."

"Now that the Ancient God Palace is exposed, I am manipulating the Origin to converge my aura, but if a Void God passes by, they might perceive clues during a spiritual sense sweep." Li Yuan said directly, "I will trouble you to be more vigilant; if there is a situation, send me a message."

"Good." Gu You nodded.

Hoo! Li Yuan drilled directly into the Divine Crystal Room, followed by an invisible force covering the Divine Crystal Room, isolating internal and external probing.

"Just left Juexing Ancient City, and going into seclusion again?" The young girl thought to herself, "And triggering law mysteries and the Ancient God Palace Origin, making it impossible for me to spy on him anymore... This little brother of mine likely still has big secrets."

She had had some guesses before; now it just further confirmed her thoughts.

Inside the Divine Crystal Room.

"Origin Force infusion." Li Yuan sat cross-legged, surrounded by rich Divine Crystal energy and a large number of Divine Crystals floating all around.

Boom!

Li Yuan had already triggered the large amount of golden mist floating on the second floor of the Mental Divine Palace.

"Swish~" This golden mist flew down rapidly and merged into the floor of the Mental Divine Palace, directly permeating every part of Li Yuan's body.

Suddenly—

Li Yuan's nine star pulses bloomed with light simultaneously, and the 'Life Fire Origin Pill' in the Origin Force space trembled, followed by beginning to frantically absorb the Divine Crystal energy from the outside world...

The Life Fire Origin Pill began another rapid growth.

"【Your life layer has been raised from level 47.3 to 47.4】"

"【Your life layer has been raised from level 47.4 to...】" The Life Fire Origin Pill continued to evolve, also making Li Yuan's Origin Force increasingly pure.

His internal organs, muscles, and blood all became more powerful.

In the blink of an eye, two days had passed.

Under the blessing of that strange golden mist, Li Yuan's life layer soared all the way, directly reaching level 49.8 before it completely dissipated.

"The effect of this Origin Force infusion was even better than I imagined, saving a lot of time; I thought it would stop at level 49.6." Li Yuan smiled.

Boom— Powerful Origin Force flowed within his body; such robust Origin Force was already infinitely close to a newly promoted Void God.

"The nine-star pulse is indeed miraculous."

"Origin Force exceeding level 1 or 2 might not seem like a big gap, but the closer one gets to the limit, the harder it is to improve." Li Yuan sighed to himself, "Stronger Origin Force, Star Arts a notch stronger, law comprehension a bit higher... eventually, it will cause a earth-shaking change in strength."

"If another Ranking Battle were held, even without relying on soul attacks, I would have hope of breaking into the top ten of the Divine Fire Hall." Li Yuan thought to himself, "Even Dong Pan would find it hard to win against me."

This was still under the condition that Li Yuan had not cultivated a sixth Star Art.

But Li Yuan's urgent pursuit of level 49.9 was not for the pursuit of strength improvement.

After all, even without the Origin Force infusion, under normal circumstances, two or three years would be enough for Li Yuan to cultivate to level 49.9.

"Continue!"

Li Yuan's mind stirred, and he continued to cultivate with a calm heart, absorbing the energy contained in the external Divine Crystals and tempering the 'Life Fire Origin Pill'.

Even cultivating with Divine Crystals, the cultivation speed was a hundred times slower than the Origin Force infusion.

And Li Yuan was very patient.

"Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle~" Deep within the Life Fire Origin Pill, as the Origin Pill continued to evolve and approach level 49.9... the 'fire seed' in the deepest part of the Origin Pill became increasingly powerful.

Over half a month later.

Finally.

"Boom!" Li Yuan felt the Life Fire Origin Pill tremble slightly; it had already been cultivated to a state of perfection and limit!

The Origin Force limit of the Demigod nine-star pulse had reached—

And in the instant the Life Fire Origin Pill reached its limit... the fire seed deep within the Origin Pill, which had already grown to a shocking degree, seemed to transcend a limit, and suddenly split into two... directly transforming into two fire seeds, one large and one small.

The smaller fire seed seemed as if it were about to extinguish at any moment, much weaker than the 'Life Fire' born when Li Yuan first broke through to become a Demigod.

"Sizzle~"

Suddenly, this weak fire seed passed through the thick barrier of the Origin Pill and arrived in the Origin Force space.

Floating there—

Hoo~ The light of the fire seed was weak, as if it were about to extinguish at any moment, yet it possessed a kind of extraordinary vitality, shining brightly, as if it contained the true meaning of the Dao of life.

"Second Fire Seed."

"Haha, finally done." Li Yuan felt a hint of excitement in his heart, "It is indeed as Alliance Leader Dongfang said; once a Demigod nine-star pulse cultivates to level 49.9, the 'fire seed' in the Life Fire Origin Pill is powerful to the limit, and it can split to give birth to a 'Second Fire Seed'."

"With the Second Fire Seed, entering the Eternal Hall again gives me hope of cultivating 'Perfect Star Arts'."

Why did Li Yuan insist on cultivating to level 49.9 before entering the Eternal Hall?

It was for the sake of giving birth to the 'Second Fire Seed'.
