Chapter 494: Battle of the True Gods (Extra update, please vote for monthly tickets)

Several hours later.

The already shattered Yan Hong Star, with its massive amount of stellar fragments, was still constantly colliding with one another. Each collision produced astonishing aftershocks, with large quantities of rubble and core magma flowing about.

About sixty thousand kilometers away, the starry sky here was also affected.

However, it was completely unable to affect the towering figure over a hundred meters tall in the void.

Li Yuan and Liu Bing were nowhere to be seen.

"God-child Li Yuan, you should just hide inside the cave-heaven treasure," True God Senior Lie Qing transmitted his voice: "Wait until True God God God Chiyan enters the formation's range, then you come out."

"Understood," Li Yuan responded. He and Liu Bing were already hiding inside the Ancient God Palace.

They dared not hide in the distant void.

Before the powerful perception of a True God, Li Yuan and Liu Bing's soul auras could not be hidden.

Therefore, at this moment, the Ancient God Palace had transformed into dust, hiding in the gaps of True God Senior Lie Qing's armor.

In this way, under the shroud of True God Senior Lie Qing's powerful aura, True God God God Chiyan could not immediately detect the existence of the Ancient God Palace, let alone know that Li Yuan and Liu Bing were hiding inside.

As for those formation artifacts? They were inanimate objects; as long as they didn't erupt, it would be very difficult for a True God to detect them.

Moreover, this was, after all, a formation treasure refined by Heavenly God Qing Hong. If it were easily detected by True God God God Chiyan, that would be a joke.

Suddenly.

"God God Chiyan is here," True God Senior Lie Qing transmitted to Li Yuan.

Boom! True God Senior Lie Qing had already stood up directly, gazing at the distant void, only to see a stream of flame light descending at extreme speed.

It finally stopped tens of thousands of kilometers away. He wore fire-red armor, and long spears appeared beside him.

A full nine fire-red long spears circled behind him, just like a huge ring of fire light.

The momentum was monstrous.

"Senior Lie Qing!!" True God God God Chiyan roared angrily: "As a True God, bullying the small with your size, you are truly too shameless."

This voice, through spatial fluctuations, instantly transmitted to a radius of over a hundred thousand kilometers.

"I am not bullying the small with my size," True God Senior Lie Qing laughed thunderously: "I have just gained something from my recent cultivation and wanted to come find you for a spar. I haven't killed any of the Void Gods under your command."

"As for those Demigods? They would all die out in a thousand years anyway, so what does it matter if one or two hundred die? I'm helping you save some resources; you should be thanking me."

Whoosh!

True God Senior Lie Qing waved his hand, and the two Void Gods felt the world spinning, only to be thrown far away, landing over a thousand kilometers away. Their previously blocked six senses were also restored.

"Progenitor?"

"Is it a True God who came to save us?" The two Void Gods had just recovered their perception when they noticed the figure emitting a terrifying aura in the distant void.

"Leave this place!" True God God God Chiyan transmitted his voice.

"Yes."

"Hurry and go." The two Void Gods hurriedly transformed into streams of light, quickly moving away from this area.

They knew that the two great True Gods were about to engage in a life-and-death struggle.

"Sister Senior Gu You, is it him?" Li Yuan, inside the Ancient God Palace, was also making his final observations.

Although he had confirmed through much intelligence that True God God God Chiyan was the 'Void God God God Chiyan' from ten thousand years ago, he still had to be cautious.

"It is him!!"

"It is him!" Senior Gu You's voice carried a trace of hatred: "In that great battle back then, it was he who severely injured the True Phoenix."

"Even if he has become a True God, I can recognize him at a glance."

"Good, then there is no mistake," Li Yuan nodded, his heart no longer burdened in the slightest.

In the starry sky, after the two Void Gods had gone far away.

"Gained something from cultivation?"

True God God God Chiyan's eyes were cold: "Senior Lie Qing, then let me see how much you, this old fellow who is about to die, have progressed in this thousand years."

Boom!

True God God God Chiyan suddenly erupted with dazzling flame light and moved directly.

Like a God of Fire!

True Gods condense a Divine Heart; what their bodies are no longer matters. Once various Star Arts are cultivated to the 'Sixth Rank', once unleashed, their power reaches a terrifying level.

This terrifying flame aura was the external manifestation of True God God God Chiyan unleashing his body-refining Star Art.

"Haha, come on!" True God Senior Lie Qing's massive body also instantly transformed to a thousand meters tall, his armor thick and endless, and a huge battle blade appeared in his hand, dazzling beyond compare.

Rumble~~

Wisps of earthy-yellow airflow were born; this was True God Senior Lie Qing's signature skill—Domain.

Drawing on the power of the Law Origin and pouring in endless Source Power, only then was this massive domain formed.

Whoosh~

The moment the domain was formed, the speck of dust transformed from the Ancient God Palace quickly moved in the opposite direction.

Under the cover of the domain's powerful fluctuations, it was difficult for a True God to detect it, and True God Senior Lie Qing was also helping the Ancient God Palace move away.

"Battle of the True Gods."

"If they engage in close-quarters combat, I won't dare to come out later. Once I emerge, the mere aftershocks of close combat would likely severely injure me," Li Yuan was very clear about this point: "Or even kill me directly."

Once a Void God limit powerhouse steps into the True God realm, their realm improves by a large margin, their Source Power increases dozens of times, and they further improve various Star Arts... their overall strength increases by over a thousand times; this is no empty talk.

The further one goes, the harder it is to fight across major tiers.

Only a few seconds later.

"Boom!" True God God God Chiyan, like a God of Fire, saw his speed soar, stepping on the void, causing space to constantly tremble, quickly approaching True God Senior Lie Qing.

He directly grasped one of the nine flame long spears behind him and, separated by nearly ten thousand kilometers, threw it out directly.

"Boom!!!"

This flame long spear's speed soared to a terrifying level, piercing through nearly ten thousand kilometers of starry sky in less than a second. Wherever the spear went, space instantly tore open shocking spatial rifts.

Why do True Gods not fear spatial rifts? Because with every gesture, they can already tear space.

"Rumble~" Wherever the spear light went, the domain, like a gaseous star, was instantly pierced through.

It struck True God Senior Lie Qing directly.

"All old tricks." True God Senior Lie Qing took a step forward, his aura suddenly surging, layers of earthy-yellow law secret patterns appearing on the blade, intertwining with each other, causing the battle blade's aura to suddenly surge.

"Boom!"

A dazzling blade light swept across the heavens and earth, as if tearing the heavens and earth apart, causing a huge spatial rift to appear in the starry sky.

"Puff~~"

The battle blade swept across the heavens and earth, directly knocking that long spear flying back. Countless flame streams annihilated layer by layer, and the terrifying aftershocks produced by the collision impacted a radius of several thousand kilometers.

Fortunately, this was a battle in the starry sky.

If it were on a planet, it would be enough to quickly destroy a planet.

"Whoosh!"

True God Senior Lie Qing had just slashed away the first long spear when the second flame long spear came whistling over.

The third flame long spear, the fourth...

One after another.

The nine flame long spears, like nine stars in a row, under True God God God Chiyan's manipulation, were all shot out within a second, bombarding the area where True God Senior Lie Qing was located.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!..."

True God Senior Lie Qing did not dodge at all, holding his battle blade, slashing out terrifying blade lights, directly resisting the flame long spears head-on.

When the first six long spears came, True God Senior Lie Qing could still barely resist.

But the continuous collisions were too terrifying for him; the last three flame long spears actually blasted him out over a thousand kilometers... his body even suffered certain injuries.

Hum~ True God Senior Lie Qing's Divine Heart surged within, and Source Power frantically repaired his body's injuries.

"God God Chiyan, I took your 'Nine Chi Spears' head-on, and the power is nothing more than this," True God Senior Lie Qing's voice thundered.

"Why didn't you dodge?" True God God God Chiyan frowned, the nine flame long spears already flying and circulating around his body.

The explosive flight speed of a divine artifact is far higher than the flight speed of a powerhouse.

"Dodge?" True God Senior Lie Qing suddenly revealed a ferocious smile: "If I dodged, how could I lure you in?"

True God God God Chiyan's pupils shrank slightly, feeling a sense of unease in his heart, and he just wanted to retreat.

"Want to leave now? Too late!"

"Formation!!" True God Senior Lie Qing's heart stirred, directly activating the formation that shrouded the thirty-thousand-kilometer void.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Only to see nine dazzling rays of light rising into the sky from the four directions of the area where the two great True Gods were fighting, and a large number of formation bases and formation disks were activated. In just a few seconds, the thirty-thousand-kilometer radius was shrouded in the formation.

If observed from the outside, all space became hazy and unpredictable.

"What's going on?"

"The Progenitor?" The two Void Gods of the Immortal Ruins Civilization who had just escaped tens of thousands of kilometers away were both shocked: "Is this a trap?"

"When was this formation laid down?" These two Void Gods didn't know the existence of the formation at all.

"Could the True God be in danger?" Both Void Gods were extremely terrified, but they didn't dare to stay at all, continuing to fly away.

They knew that if they stayed here, they would only distract True God God God Chiyan.

Inside the great formation.

"Formation?"

"Spatial formation? Isolating space, forming a world of its own?" True God God God Chiyan felt slightly surprised in his heart, but he wasn't too panicked.

He had long anticipated that True God Senior Lie Qing dared to come and kill, so he must have made preparations, and the formation was also within his judgment.

And a formation laid down in such a short time usually wouldn't be too strong.

"As long as I hold on for a while, once we start fighting, it will affect the stability of the formation space, and there is definitely hope to find the flaws in the formation and rush out," True God God God Chiyan decided in his heart.

His judgment was also correct.

Like the two-layered formation laid down by Liu Bing, it only barely shrouded a vast area and was not very perfect.

Being able to be laid down quickly was its advantage.

The nests of some major forces, or the nests of powerhouses, were all eight-layered or even ten-layered formations superimposed, winning by quantity; only in this way could space be stabilized to the greatest extent.

Otherwise, with the strength of a True God, under violent attacks, given enough time, they could completely shake the foundation of the formation directly.

"Suppressed my divine sense range?" True God God God Chiyan's eyes were cold, and he immediately shouted: "Senior Lie Qing, do you think you can kill me by relying on this formation?"

Boom!

True God God God Chiyan no longer took the initiative to attack, but instead used his divine sense to perceive the operation of the surrounding formation, trying to figure out the flaws.

So-called formations are all the utilization of the operation of all things in heaven and earth; as long as one finds the inherent laws, one can break the formation.

"Trapped."

"This Heaven and Earth Inversion Formation, making space stable and confusing the direction of divine sense, is indeed powerful," True God Senior Lie Qing transmitted to the distance: "God-child Li Yuan, you must be fast."

"Otherwise, given time, I'm afraid he will find the flaws in the formation."

"Understood," Li Yuan responded.

Boom!

True God Senior Lie Qing had already killed True God God God Chiyan again. With one movement, a dazzling rainbow light swept past, the blade light's power endless.

Forcing True God God God Chiyan to resist with all his might.

In this way, he couldn't devote himself to comprehending the formation.

Suddenly.

"Whoosh~" A powerful divine sense fluctuation swept past, immediately causing True God God God Chiyan to be vigilant: "True God-level divine sense? There is another True God? How is that possible!"

He was shocked in his heart.

True God God God Chiyan had never seen Li Yuan before, so naturally, he didn't know Li Yuan's soul aura.

"Haha, God God Chiyan, the things that shock you are still to come? Die!" True God Senior Lie Qing laughed.

Rumble~

The two great True Gods fought with all their might, the heavens collapsing and the earth cracking, and spatial rifts appeared in the void.

A large number of spatial rifts constantly healed and constantly split open.

Over ten thousand kilometers away from the range where the two great True Gods were fighting, which was the edge of the formation, Li Yuan and Liu Bing had already flown out of the Ancient God Palace.

"Trapped."

"It's time to act." Li Yuan's divine sense shrouded most of the formation's range, also perceiving the battle scene between the two great True Gods.

Although he would be detected by True God God God Chiyan under the sweep of his divine sense, Li Yuan didn't care at this moment.

In fact, from the perspective of the safety of the Seven Star Civilization, Li Yuan should have charged directly into the Immortal Ruins Civilization... slaughtering the Demigods and Void Gods of the Immortal Ruins Civilization first, before coming to try and hunt True God God God Chiyan.

Then, even if he failed, the low and middle-level combat power of the Immortal Ruins Civilization would be greatly damaged, and the threat to the Seven Star Civilization would be much smaller.

But Li Yuan's primary target had always been True God God God Chiyan.

Hiding his strength.

Was all for this moment of eruption!

"Boom!" An irregular fire-red stone appeared in Li Yuan's palm.

As soon as this stone appeared, Li Yuan's aura and pressure suddenly began to surge.

"This? Red Stone?" Liu Bing, who was on the side, was shocked. At this moment, she had an illusion that Li Yuan's terrifying aura seemed to be much stronger than the two great True Gods in the fierce battle.

"True God-level soul, and then comprehending the essence of all things in the Void Realm, the source power of the Dream Realm Stone I can mobilize is much stronger," Li Yuan felt the power he controlled.

During the Battle of the Ancestral Realm, he could only mobilize a trace of the Dream Realm Stone's power.

But now, the power he could mobilize was already quite considerable.

This was a soul-type Dao treasure that even Heavenly Gods would value immensely... having been in Li Yuan's hands for so long.

Today, it could finally be said to have truly bloomed with a trace of light.

"Suppress!" Li Yuan mobilized the Dream Realm Stone and directly unleashed a soul secret technique he had specifically cultivated over the past year—"Abyss of Black Illusion."

This soul secret technique, when cultivated to the extreme, was nearly at the God King level and was created by a Heavenly God who was extremely skilled in soul attacks.

Li Yuan had now only cultivated it to the second layer.

The range shrouded by his divine sense was the range of his soul attacks.

"Boom!"

The terrifying soul fluctuation instantly crossed over ten thousand kilometers, invading True God God God Chiyan.

"Hmm?"

True God God God Chiyan, in the midst of the fierce battle, suddenly felt everything before his eyes disappear; he couldn't see True God Senior Lie Qing, nor could he perceive anything around him.

He only felt as if he had fallen into an endless dark abyss.

In the abyss, layers of terrifying illusions constantly appeared, trying their best to pull him deeper into this abyss.

"Soul attack?"

"What a terrifying soul attack! Wake up! Wake up!" True God God God Chiyan roared in his heart, trying his best to make himself wake up.

Long years of cultivation had allowed his soul will to reach the mid-stage True God level.

But having always been in the mortal domain, he didn't have any True God-level soul secret treasures, and he hadn't cared much about it before.

After all, in the mortal domain, no powerhouse could threaten him in terms of the soul.

However, although Li Yuan's soul had only just stepped into the True God realm, his will was at the peak of the True God realm... his attainment on the path of the soul was also at the peak True God level.

Most importantly, it was the Dream Realm Stone!!

The only thing that could be called a weakness was that Li Yuan's cultivation time was too short; the "Abyss of Black Souls" was exquisite, but overall, the soul abyss Li Yuan had formed was still relatively rough.

Even so, the strength of Li Yuan's soul attack was definitely top-tier among countless True Gods.

Therefore, in just an instant, True God God God Chiyan sank, his eyes becoming blank and lifeless.

Whoosh!

The moment True God God God Chiyan's consciousness sank, the speed of the nine flame long spears circulating around him plummeted.

"What?"

"What kind of terrifying soul attack is this, to be able to make God God Chiyan sink directly?" True God Senior Lie Qing's shock was beyond words.

He finally understood what Li Yuan's trump card was.

It wasn't the formation; the formation only made it impossible for True God God God Chiyan to escape.

It was the soul attack.

"Kill!" True God Senior Lie Qing's heart was shocked, but his movements were not slow at all, his battle blade frantically slashing towards True God God God Chiyan.

Bang!

In the situation where True God God God Chiyan had no power to resist, that terrifying blade light, with unrivaled impact, slashed onto True God God God Chiyan, causing the flame light on his body to immediately dissipate quite a bit.

Divine light radiated from True God God God Chiyan's body surface.

It was a True God-level battle armor!

"Slash again!" True God Senior Lie Qing continued to unleash his strongest attack, the blade light sweeping across the long sky, slashing down fiercely once more.

Take advantage of your illness to take your life.

"Rumble~"

His massive domain, those wisps of earthy-yellow airflow, all whistled, impacting True God God God Chiyan, wanting to cause more damage to True God God God Chiyan.

True God God God Chiyan, whose consciousness was sinking, had extremely weak perception of the outside world; he only felt that he had fallen into an endless abyss.

All perception of the outside world was distorted.

However, he was very clear in his heart that if he did not wake up as soon as possible, he would surely die.

"Real?"

"No! This is still an illusion! It's still an illusion!"

"How can there be such a realistic illusion?" True God God God Chiyan was extremely anxious in his heart.

"Soul! Burn and annihilate!" True God God God Chiyan tried his best to stimulate his soul defense secret technique.

Over long years, even if he didn't care much about soul defense, he still tried his best to cultivate a soul defense secret technique.

He was struggling with all his might.

Finally!

"Bang!" True God God God Chiyan's soul consciousness blasted open that massive abyss, perceiving everything in the outside world.

He also noticed his own danger.

"Bang!" A fierce blade light slashed down heavily, knocking his entire person flying backward again.

Even with the protection of the True God-level battle armor.

That terrifying impact, time and time again, impacted his Divine Heart through the battle armor and flesh, still causing huge damage to his Divine Heart.

A large number of cracks had already appeared on his Divine Heart.

"What kind of soul attack is this, to make me sink for so long?" True God God God Chiyan was full of fear in his heart.

The severe damage to his Divine Heart caused the operation of his Source Power to become slow, and his strength began to be affected.

Bang!

True God God God Chiyan had just manipulated the flame long spears to resist True God Senior Lie Qing's violent blade light.

"Hum~" Another terrifying soul fluctuation descended, causing True God God God Chiyan to sink again.

"Sure enough! It's about the same as I expected," Li Yuan's divine sense had been observing: "Although my soul has only just stepped into the True God realm, with the help of the Dream Realm Stone, it is enough to make the soul attack reach an extremely strong level."

If Li Yuan were to break through to become a True God now, his material attacks would also become extremely powerful.

But for the time being, the material path was far inferior to the soul path.

"Under the continuous consumption of True God Senior Lie Qing, before he can completely resist my soul attack, his Divine Heart will definitely collapse first."

"God God Chiyan is dead for sure."

If Li Yuan were facing True God God God Chiyan alone, his material attacks wouldn't be able to cause much damage to True God God God Chiyan at all.

Direct soul annihilation? Li Yuan couldn't do it for the time being.

Only soul attacks at the Heavenly God level could directly annihilate the soul of a True God.

But with True God Senior Lie Qing, the situation was completely different.

Inside the formation.

"God God Chiyan, you are finished," True God Senior Lie Qing was both shocked and excited.

He also didn't expect that there would really be hope to kill True God God God Chiyan.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Under the suppression of Li Yuan's soul attack, he almost completely crushed the opponent, wisps of blade light frantically pouring onto True God God God Chiyan, causing True God God God Chiyan's Divine Heart to constantly wear out.

True God God God Chiyan wanted to escape.

But his soul consciousness sank time and time again; even if his waking speed was getting faster and faster, where could he escape to?

This radius of tens of thousands of kilometers was completely shrouded by the formation.

He couldn't escape even if he wanted to.

For a full half-minute, True God God God Chiyan was almost always being beaten passively.

His life had also reached its end!

"Tell me! Tell me!"

"Who is the other True God skilled in soul attacks? Who is it?" True God God God Chiyan roared in despair.

He was extremely desperate.

If he had known in advance that there was such a person skilled in soul attacks, he definitely wouldn't have come, and would have likely hidden very far away.

"No need to ask, go to hell!" True God Senior Lie Qing's voice was cold.

How could Li Yuan appear?

Before True God God God Chiyan died, it was entirely possible for him to leak Li Yuan's information.

Whoosh~

Another blade light swept across the long sky, landing on True God God God Chiyan's body, causing him to be unable to bear it any longer.

Snap~ The Divine Heart within his body completely shattered, and his massive body instantly began to dissipate.

Only the soul could remain for a short time.

But the endless darkness had already begun to drown his consciousness.

"No!! No!" True God God God Chiyan's soul fluctuation was dissipating rapidly; facing death, he was still full of unwillingness.

"God God Chiyan!"

"The one who killed you is me, Li Yuan!" A soul fluctuation was transmitted to True God God God Chiyan's remaining soul fluctuation.

"Li Yuan?" True God God God Chiyan's last wisp of consciousness was shocked, and even more filled with endless fear.

Rumble~

A soul fluctuation swept over, like a huge roller, having completely crushed and annihilated True God God God Chiyan's soul.

True God God God Chiyan, dead!
