Chapter 531

Heiyu Life Spring Realm, at the very high part of the Life Tree, nearly a hundred massive palaces were built here.

These were for True Gods or Hall Masters to live in.

Of course, it didn't mean that so many True Gods lived here; it was just a 'disguise' to make people unable to figure out how many True Gods were stationed in each Life Spring Realm.

After all, although the Ten Thousand Gods Hall was extremely united, such a massive force... would always have some spies.

Whoosh!

Li Yuan, dressed in black, descended from the void and arrived at the palace covered by countless Life Tree leaves.

"Hall Master Qixing."

"God General Qixing." Two True Gods, both extremely burly, nearly three meters tall, and with extremely similar appearances, greeted Li Yuan with smiles.

"Brother Yihong, Brother Yiming!" Li Yuan greeted with a smile.

These two True Gods were a pair of twin brothers, and their temperaments were extremely forthright... It was extremely rare for twin brothers to become True Gods together.

In the entire Ten Thousand Gods Hall, this was the only case now.

"Hall Master Qixing, you saved my younger brother last time, and we have always wanted to thank you properly, but you have always been participating in battles to protect the realms in the major Life Spring Realms, and we have never had the chance." True God Yihong grinned: "This time, you finally rotated to my Heiyu Life Spring Realm, so you must give us a chance to thank you."

"Good!" Li Yuan revealed a smile and agreed to them.

He knew the general character of the powerhouses in the Ten Thousand Gods Hall. Perhaps it was because the high probability of falling in battle after battle, or perhaps it was because they knew that True God was the peak of cultivation... which made their characters relatively straightforward.

Like this kind of invitation, if Li Yuan didn't accept it, it would make the two brothers feel uncomfortable.

A hundred years of time, participating in battles time and time again, and communicating with many Ten Thousand Gods Hall powerhouses.

It also made Li Yuan integrate into this environment.

"Haha, let's go." True God Yiming revealed a smile: "God General Qixing, my elder brother got some Nine-River Star Pulp from 'Jiuqu Star' this time, which is extremely rare."

"Oh? Then I must taste it." Li Yuan smiled.

The three of them went directly into True God Yiming's palace and drank openly.

Nine-River Star Pulp was indeed delicious!

Inside the palace, there were no servants or the like.

To ensure secrecy, like True God residences, powerhouses below the True God level were generally not allowed to come.

After three rounds of drinking.

"Hall Master Qixing, I admire you the most. In my heart, you are second only to Hall Master Siewu." True God Yihong said in a low voice: "Even those Elder Hall Masters are not as good as you."

"Elder brother, speak carefully." True God Yiming said hurriedly.

"Shut up."

"What is there not to dare to say?" True God Yihong sneered: "I don't believe Hall Master Qixing will go and report us. Hall Master Qixing is not that kind of person."

True God Yiming was helpless and bowed to Li Yuan: "God General, my elder brother is drunk. I hope the God General will forgive him."

"No matter." Li Yuan waved his hand.

"Hall Master Qixing, I am not drunk." True God Yihong's eyes were faintly red: "In our Ten Thousand Gods Hall, there are quite a few Hall Master-level powerhouses, but only a few are truly willing to participate in battles for a long time. Most stay in the Life Divine Realm, under the pretext of guarding the Divine Realm... But there are so many powerhouses in the Divine Realm, where is the need for so many Hall Masters?"

"If they were all scattered in the many Life Spring Realms to participate in battles, they would definitely make the Dao Court's assassination army suffer heavy losses."

"Instead of being so passive as they are now."

Li Yuan sighed in his heart. After a hundred years of war, he also had a deeper understanding of the situation between the Ten Thousand Gods Hall and the Dao Court.

He faintly felt that the hostile relationship between the two camps was not as simple as imagined.

There seemed to be some tacit understanding.

The Ten Thousand Gods Hall had never counterattacked with full force, and many Hall Masters and True Gods were only supporting... The Dao Court had also never used all its power to press the border, only sending a large number of Celestial Immortals and True Immortals to harass.

Both sides seemed to be avoiding a decisive battle.

It was just that, in the eyes of powerhouses like True God Yihong, the highest level of the Ten Thousand Gods Hall was a bit weak.

After all, they had always been passively defending.

"The Elder Hall Masters should have their considerations." Li Yuan said.

"God General." True God Yiming sighed via transmission: "Actually, we understand the logic, it's just... in that battle where you saved me last time, our hometown prefecture city was destroyed."

Li Yuan immediately thought of the last battle.

A large city was destroyed, affecting nearly a hundred thousand miles, with tens of billions of casualties... It turned out to be the hometown of True God Yihong and True God Yiming.

"My condolences." Li Yuan transmitted.

"The matter has already happened, it's just that my elder brother still finds it hard to accept. My sister-in-law and nephew, and... forget it, I just hope the God General won't blame my elder brother." True God Yiming transmitted.

"Rest assured." Li Yuan said.

Not long after.

Li Yuan left True God Yiming's palace, walking in the void, overlooking the many small palaces below. He arrived at his own residence palace.

"War!"

"The Dao Court army's assassination attempts, although unable to cause a devastating blow to the Ten Thousand Gods Hall, have also caused endless casualties." Li Yuan sighed: "There are too many like True God Yiming."

Over the past hundred years, traveling through many worlds and participating in hundreds of battles, large and small, Li Yuan had seen too much.

A single battle between Celestial Immortals and True Gods would affect tens of billions or even more people, causing them to fall.

Countless casualties!

"The Life Spring Realms have been gradually collapsing, making the situation of the Ten Thousand Gods Hall increasingly worse. This is also the reason why General Hall Master Siewu and the others are increasingly conservative." Li Yuan sighed: "If this continues, I'm afraid that in another few million years, the Ten Thousand Gods Hall will be completely defeated and destroyed."

Over the past hundred years, Li Yuan's permissions within the Ten Thousand Gods Hall had become higher and higher, and he had also queried more information.

For example—Life Spring Realm.

Just like humans, after childhood, youth, adolescence, and middle age, they will eventually move toward death. The world is the same.

The Life Tree of the Wanquan Void is transformed from the origin of Celestial Gods... but it also has a day of destruction in the end.

The earliest Life Spring Realms numbered over nine thousand, which is why they dared to call themselves 'Ten Thousand Springs'.

But in this era, only over 4,300 remain.

And in Li Yuan's query, the closer to the recent era, the more Life Spring Realms that decayed and were destroyed.

"I'm afraid these Life Spring Realms have collectively entered the aging period." Li Yuan sighed: "The glimmer of hope sought by the Life God King might end in failure."

In a hundred years, getting to know one True God friend after another, Li Yuan's heart had basically integrated into the 'Ten Thousand Gods Hall', and he had shifted from the mentality of cooperation and completing trial missions to doing his best to help the Ten Thousand Gods Hall.

For the Life God King, Li Yuan felt extreme reverence in his heart.

This was indeed an incredible powerhouse.

It's just!

"I don't belong to this world after all."

"If I can break through to True God in this realm and reach the Celestial God level of strength, perhaps there is still hope to help the Ten Thousand Gods Hall win the war." Li Yuan sighed in his heart: "However... I must return to my hometown Divine Realm."

To return to his hometown Divine Realm, he must be at the Half-God realm and cannot break through in this realm.

In his hometown Divine Realm, there are many elders, relatives, and friends... They are more important to Li Yuan.

"I am just a passerby after all."

"Before I leave, I will also do my best to save more people, so as to have no regrets in my heart." Li Yuan sighed.

Whoosh!

Li Yuan flew into his palace, sat cross-legged, and with a thought, he sensed the 'Killing Crystal' in his spiritual void world.

"This Killing Tear already has forty-seven drops." Li Yuan thought to himself: "It seems to be more than half full. If I continue to kill like this, it will take at most a few more decades to complete the trial mission."

Completing the trial mission in less than two hundred years is not short, but it is not very long either.

In the history of the Chaos Divine Court, the longest time to successfully complete a trial mission was over four hundred years.

Immediately, Li Yuan stopped thinking about it and calmed down to cultivate, with many profound mysteries of secret techniques and absolute arts appearing in his mind.

"This world, the Dao Extinction Era."

"Comprehending the basic Laws and Great Daos is indeed much harder." Earth-yellow light appeared around Li Yuan: "In a hundred years, I have only pushed the Earth Law to the Ninth-Stage level, and the progress is increasingly slow."

"The Wind Law is even more trapped at the Eighth-Stage perfection level."

This speed of progress, if placed on the True Gods of this world or the ordinary members of Yuanhuo Star, would be called amazing... but for Li Yuan, it was a bit slow.

"The Space Law, on the other hand."

"Although comprehension is still extremely difficult, I can still sense the complete origin of the Space Law." Li Yuan thought to himself: "It seems that the power of 'Dao Extinction' formed by the Pseudo-Heavenly Dao cannot cause any defects in the operation of the Space Law."

Just thinking about it, Li Yuan also felt it was very normal.

Li Yuan knew very well the terror of the origin of the Space Law... It is the cornerstone of all operations in the vast heaven and earth.

Like God Kings and God Emperors opening up paths, they basically have to use the Space Law as a foundation.

Precisely because of this, in a hundred years.

Li Yuan still put most of his energy into the Space Law... Even if comprehension was more difficult, it still brought his Space Law level to the Ninth-Stage perfection.

Now, Li Yuan is only one step away from the Tenth-Stage of the Space Law!

And this step is like a natural chasm.

It has trapped Li Yuan for more than ten years, and he sees no possibility of any breakthrough.

Next, he doesn't know how long he will be trapped.

"Celestial Gods comprehending the basic Laws and Great Daos is the Tenth-Stage level." Li Yuan sighed: "If my Space Law can enter the Tenth-Stage, although I cannot use this to become a Celestial God... at least in terms of Law realm, it is equivalent to those newly promoted Celestial Gods."

To become a Celestial God, one must comprehend a basic Great Dao to be able to condense a Godhead.

With Tenth-Stage Space Law comprehension, one cannot achieve Celestial God status.

After cultivating for a while longer.

Li Yuan suddenly stood up, the Silver Moon Divine Spear appeared in his hand, and he began to perform spear techniques.

He didn't use any magic power, just like when he was a teenager practicing spear in the martial arts room.

Sweep!

Lift!

Angry chop!

……The most basic spear moves, now in Li Yuan's hands, already had a taste of simplicity, and in every move, it seemed to contain infinite Dao rhyme.

Occasionally, a spear would streak across the void, and the speed of the divine spear would suddenly surge, instantly tearing the space and revealing visible 'space cracks', before the space would merge again.

If other True Gods saw this scene, they would definitely be dumbfounded.

After all, Li Yuan was performing spear techniques at this moment without using any Star Art Yuan Force, relying purely on the power of Law moves.

If he erupted with full force, how strong would it be?

"Last time, when I fought that Celestial Lord Shi Ming, this killing move hadn't been perfected yet." Li Yuan thought to himself: "Even Celestial Lords have been dispatched. It seems the Dao Court's killing intent toward me is getting heavier."

……

In the void outside the Heiyu Life Spring Realm, a massive warship was hiding here. The warship was pitch black, its aura completely restrained, as if it had completely integrated into the starry sky.

Inside the warship, thirteen figures were standing. Leading them was a white-robed figure with blue eyes. He was very tall and emitted waves of inexplicable fluctuations, making the twelve Celestial Immortals around him extremely respectful.

In front of them was a huge star map, on which many light spots were flickering.

"Is the mission clear?"

"The target is these areas of the Heiyu Life Spring Realm. Slaughter all the practitioners within them and destroy all those treasure lands." The white-robed figure said softly.

"Yes, Celestial Lord!" The twelve ordinary Celestial Immortals said respectfully.

This assassination war was brought by the Celestial Lord himself, and they also felt extremely excited.

The status of every Celestial Lord in the Dao Court is extremely high.

"Go." The blue-eyed Celestial Lord in white waved his hand: "Remember, everything must be done according to the plan, and you must not be reckless."

Boom~ The warship cabin door opened, and the twelve Celestial Immortals rushed out of the warship directly. Following that, they each summoned their void flying boats, and then the flying boats rippled, tearing the void and disappearing into the endless darkness.

Only the blue-eyed Celestial Lord in white remained in the warship.

He waved his hand again.

!.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Five more figures appeared in the warship, and their auras were quite special.

"Shi Ming, has the bait been released?" An old man in black said in a hoarse voice.

"Senior Senior Tong Lian, everything is according to your instructions." The blue-eyed Celestial Lord in white said respectfully.

If the twelve Celestial Immortals just now saw this scene, they would probably be dumbfounded.

After all, Celestial Lord Shi Ming already had an extremely high status in their hearts, ranking second among the commanding Celestial Lords of the Hongguang Dao Court, and his status was close to that of a Celestial Emperor.

Who was it that could make him call them senior?

I'm afraid it was an extremely ancient figure of the Dao Court.

"For a hundred years, that 'Qixing Void God' has been active in nearly a hundred Life Spring Realms in this area, constantly intercepting and killing our powerhouses. Up to now, forty-two Celestial Immortals have been killed by him." Celestial Lord Senior Tong Lian, the old man in black, said coldly: "He has made monstrous contributions to the Ten Thousand Gods Hall. According to the intelligence we have gathered, he has now been authorized as a 'First-Class God General of the Ten Thousand Gods Army', with a status second only to those Elder Hall Masters."

"The most important point."

"After repeated confirmation, it is certain that he has special means to plunder the 'Immortal Register's spiritual light' after killing Immortals."

Everyone present felt a chill in their hearts.

They all knew the significance of the 'Immortal Register's spiritual light' being plundered; it was simply catastrophic.

Compared to this, the fall of dozens of Celestial Immortals was a trivial matter.

"Qixing Void God is the number one threat to our Hongguang Dao Court and even the seven great Dao Courts. For a hundred years, Celestial Emperor Huodou has been ordering an investigation..." Celestial Lord Senior Tong Lian said coldly: "He is still staying at the Void God realm now. Although the specific reason is unclear... but this is indeed a good opportunity for us. Once he becomes a True God, he will inevitably be the second Siewu."

Everyone couldn't help but nod. Siewu? That was an existence none of them wanted to face.

"I will do my best." Celestial Lord Shi Ming tried hard to perform.

"Last time, Shi Ming led a team to set a trap, which ended in failure." Another Celestial Lord in purple robes smiled: "Senior Senior Tong Lian is the number one Celestial Lord of our Hongguang Dao Court, famous for ten million years. This time, with you taking action personally, you will definitely be able to capture and kill him in one fell swoop."

Celestial Lord Shi Ming couldn't help but glance at the Celestial Lord in purple robes.

Did he have to say that previous sentence? It was clearly trying to undermine him.

"Shi Ming's failure last time is excusable." Celestial Lord Senior Tong Lian said slowly: "But this time, we are six great Celestial Lords joining forces."

Such a lineup, if spoken out, would be enough to make heaven and earth tremble... There are too few Celestial Lords in the Dao Court.

Since the Pseudo-Heavenly Dao shrouded heaven and earth, over the long years, Divine Dao cultivators have found it increasingly difficult to comprehend the Dao, and not a single Celestial God has been born, and the number of True Gods born has also become fewer and fewer.

But in terms of the total number of powerhouses, the total number of 'True Gods' born on the Ten Thousand Gods Hall side is more than a hundred times that of Celestial Immortals.

It's just!

The lifespan of True Gods is too short, and they die in batches... while Celestial Immortals are known as having the same lifespan as heaven and earth, which is also bragging, but living for ten million years is very normal.

But even so, the number of 'Celestial Lords' born among Celestial Immortals is extremely small.

Like the Hongguang Dao Court, it has only given birth to over twenty Celestial Lords over the long years... Sending out six Celestial Lords at once is something that hasn't happened in many years.

Especially this time, even Celestial Lord Senior Tong Lian came.

"We used very special means, three thousand Celestial Immortals forming an array, using secret treasures, to basically lock onto his aura, which is located in the Heiyu Life Spring Realm area. He should be rotating to this world." Celestial Lord Senior Tong Lian said.

"Paying such a high price."

"I hope."

"Before the Dao Ancestors return, get this done." Celestial Lord Senior Tong Lian's gaze swept over the five Celestial Lords: "I hope you all won't let the Dao Ancestor down."

"Yes!"

The six great Celestial Lords waited patiently.

As long as the Celestial Immortals responsible for being the 'bait' send news, they will immediately use the 'Void Talisman' bestowed by the Dao Ancestor to tear the void and teleport over.

……

Hongguang Dao Court, within the Heavenly Realm.

"Privately using 'Heavenly Luck Deduction', if the Dao Ancestor returns, I'm afraid he will punish me severely." Celestial Emperor Huodou sat on the towering throne, his brows tightly furrowed, and there was a trace of anger in his eyes: "It's all the fault of that bunch of idiots in the Celestial Lord Hall."

"If they had set out earlier, how could there be so many problems?"

A hundred years ago.

Celestial Emperor Huodou went to discuss with many Celestial Lords for the first time.

However, although those Celestial Lords attached importance to it, they only attached importance to it verbally, and no one was willing to take action.

After all, these Celestial Lords have high status, and how many are willing to take risks deep into the Wanquan Void?

The Dao Ancestor's decree must be produced.

Forced, Celestial Emperor Huodou could only report to the Dao Ancestor, only to find... the Dao Ancestor had already left the Nine Thousand Realms and was not in the Dao Court at all.

Not only the Hongguang Dao Court, but after Celestial Emperor Huodou inquired about the Celestial Emperors of the other six great Dao Courts, he learned.

The other six Dao Ancestors were also not there.

This also made Celestial Emperor Huodou helpless... The seven great Dao Ancestors would occasionally disappear, which is a secret only known to the Celestial Emperors of each Dao Court.

The matter of killing the 'Qixing Void God' was dragged on.

Actually, it wasn't considered dragging on. Celestial Emperor Huodou also tried to send more Celestial Immortals to participate in the war, and several Celestial Lords participated in the war at his repeated requests.

But the Wanquan Void is vast, with thousands of Life Spring Realms. How difficult is it to assassinate a Hall Master?

Until the last ten years or so, as more and more Celestial Immortals fell, and even Celestial Lord Shi Ming finally bumped into the 'Qixing Void God' but failed to succeed, the Dao Court Celestial Lords reached a consensus with Celestial Emperor Huodou and decided to use 'Heavenly Luck Deduction'.

This is a 'Forbidden Technique of the Immortal Book' that the Dao Ancestor strictly ordered not to be used unless absolutely necessary.

"Celestial Lords need to sit in various places, and there are not many who can be mobilized."

"Heavenly Luck Deduction, temporarily lock onto the position of the Qixing Void God." Celestial Emperor Huodou prayed silently in his heart: "With six great Celestial Lords taking action, and even 'Celestial Lord Senior Tong Lian', we will definitely succeed in one fell swoop."

If successful, when the Dao Ancestor returns, he will still have a chance to survive.

If it fails? Celestial Emperor Huodou simply didn't dare to think.

"It's not easy to be a Celestial Emperor!" Celestial Emperor Huodou finally experienced the bitterness of his predecessor.

Suddenly.

Celestial Emperor Huodou received the news—the operation has begun.

"Must succeed in one fell swoop." Celestial Emperor Huodou thought to himself.

……

Li Yuan had been cultivating in the palace, when suddenly he received a message from a garrison in the Heiyu Life Spring Realm: "True Immortals are attacking, requesting support."

But Li Yuan only glanced at it and didn't care.

There were many such requests for support, and they were generally ordinary True Gods riding void flying boats to support, so it was not Li Yuan's turn to take action at all.

After all.

If Li Yuan had to participate in battles for even such tasks, he wouldn't have much time to cultivate.

Secondly, this was also a tempering for Void Gods and ordinary True Gods.

The most important point was that Hall Master-level powerhouses like Li Yuan hiding their tracks could form a deterrent to the Celestial Immortals lurking in the dark, making them afraid to act easily.

"God General Qixing, I will go to support." True God Yiming transmitted.

This was just a small mission, and Li Yuan didn't care at all.

But just a moment later.

"Bad!"

"It's a trap! A trap! There are more than ten Celestial Immortals!" Suddenly, an emergency message from True God Yiming came again: "The coordinate position is..."

"God General Qixing, requesting support! I hope you can save my younger brother." True God Yihong's message also followed closely.

"Hmm?"

In the palace, Li Yuan, who was still leisurely practicing spear, had his eyes suddenly freeze: "More than ten Celestial Immortals? Are they trying to ambush a True God?"

Without hesitation!

Whoosh! A black puppet appeared beside Li Yuan.

It was the 'Void Walker' that Celestial God Xia Feng had given to Li Yuan.

In terms of strength, this Void Walker was only at the True God Initial Tier level, but it possessed the 'Void Displacement' ability that Li Yuan did not yet possess.

"Master." The Void Walker transmitted.

"Transmit coordinates." Li Yuan directly transmitted the space coordinates to the Void Walker.

Because the direction of comprehending the Laws was different, even though Li Yuan's Space Law was at the Ninth-Stage perfection, he was still a little short of performing Void Displacement.

But he was already not far off, so he used the Void Walker without hesitation. The situation was urgent, and using a few trump cards didn't matter.

If he used the void flying boat, just the 'energy accumulation' would take half a day... Under the siege of more than ten Celestial Immortals, True God Yiming couldn't hold on for long.

Must be fast!

Whoosh!

The Void Walker took Li Yuan and instantly disappeared from the palace.

The space vibrated slightly.

"Master, we have arrived!" The Void Walker had already brought Li Yuan to a world that looked like ruins.

"The Void Walker is indeed faster." Li Yuan thought to himself.

Just like the teleportation speed of a teleportation array has fast and slow.

The difference between a True God peak who comprehends the 'Space No-Interval Domain', a Celestial God, and a God King who comprehends the Space Law when performing Void Displacement is naturally huge.

The 'Void Displacement' performed by the Void Walker is only the most basic, with a maximum of 0.1 light-years per jump, up to ten jumps per second, but because the energy contained in the body is limited, it can only continue to jump for at most one minute before it must stop and rest.

But even so, in life-and-death combat, it is far superior to a void flying boat.

"Hmm?"

"Damn it." As soon as Li Yuan descended, he sensed in all directions, and endless killing intent surged in his heart.

The large city that had over ten billion people recorded on the map intelligence had now turned into endless ruins.
