Chapter 543

"What is going on?"

"These Heavenly Immortals?" The various True God battle formations that were still valiantly killing the enemy stopped in horror upon seeing this scene.

Because, after the Dao Court army collapsed, the over ten thousand Heavenly Immortals who were closest to them and had been pursued the most tightly had their primordial spirits explode almost instantly.

Their primordial spirit origins were now like nutrients.

Guided by wisps of the Immortal Register's spiritual essence, they converged and merged, actually forming clusters of even more massive primordial spirit origins.

And the primordial spirits of Heavenly Immortals even further away continued to explode.

Accompanied by the addition of more Heavenly Immortals' primordial spirit origins, these seven massive primordial spirit origins were still expanding rapidly.

And waves of terrifying will were being born from the seven primordial spirit origins.

This eerie scene horrified all the True Gods of the Ten Thousand Gods Hall.

"In an extremely short time, about twenty-one thousand Heavenly Immortals have died?"

"These Heavenly Immortals seem to have truly died."

"Each cluster of primordial spirit origin is formed by the convergence of about three thousand Heavenly Immortals?"

"This must be the Dao Court's hidden trump card." Hall Master Sivu, Hall Master Mohai, and the others were battle-hardened and immediately made a judgment.

In the entire Dao Court, over endless years, how many Heavenly Immortals had been born in total? Only about one hundred thousand.

But this move before them consumed over twenty thousand Heavenly Immortals in a single use.

How many times could the entire Dao Court withstand this?

It must be known that in the recent collapse of the Dao Court army, over four thousand Heavenly Immortals had been killed by Li Yuan, and adding those killed by other True God battle formations, the total casualties had already exceeded ten thousand.

Now, another twenty thousand-plus were lost... the entire Dao Court army had already suffered over thirty thousand Heavenly Immortal casualties.

... "This?"

"They?"

"Could it be that the Immortal Register's spiritual essence can turn our primordial spirits into nutrients at any time?"

"It's the aura of the Dao Ancestors!"

"The Dao Ancestors are descending, but this is taking the lives of us Heavenly Immortals!" Those Heavenly Immortals who were still fleeing madly also looked at this scene in terror.

As Heavenly Immortals, they knew that once they entered the Immortal Register, their life and death were no longer their own, but such a terrifying scene still exceeded their imagination.

For a time, these Heavenly Immortals felt a chill and were even more bewildered.

Could it be, just as True God Sivu said, that so-called Immortal cultivation is truly just being a pure slave? One that can be sacrificed at any time?

This was something many Heavenly Immortals found hard to accept in their hearts.

It sounds slow, but in reality, the moment Li Yuan saw the strange change occur, he had already stepped across the void and charged toward the massive primordial spirit origin cluster closest to him.

"Kill!"

Continuously killing thousands of Heavenly Immortals allowed the surging killing intent that had accumulated in Li Yuan's heart for several years to be continuously vented.

Li Yuan did not even notice that within the Killing Crystal in his Mind Void, drops of Killing Tears had become completely full and had leaked from the inside into his Mind Void, faintly influencing his mind.

This was simply incredible; after all, how powerful was Li Yuan's will?

Yet he was invisibly influenced, which shows the special power contained in these "Killing Tears."

Under this special influence, Li Yuan's battle intent climbed continuously; the more he killed, the more excited he became, making him want to erupt even more crazily.

"My spear technique is not strong enough!"

"Not fast enough!"

"If it were fast enough, how could these Heavenly Immortals escape? I would have killed them all long ago." Li Yuan's heart was filled with an impulse, as if something was about to gush out and erupt.

"Die!"

Li Yuan's killing intent soared to the heavens. Knowing that those seven massive primordial spirit origins posed a huge threat, the long spear in his hand still thrust straight forward.

Whoosh!

The divine spear pierced through the void like a dragon, the space around the spear body seeming to twist, and a dazzling light appeared.

At this moment, the seven massive primordial spirit origins were already condensing crazily.

Massive amounts of Heaven and Earth Origin Power converged, forming figures exuding terrifying auras.

"Get lost!"

That massive figure covered in lightning erupted with an angry roar. Feeling a huge threat, even though his physical body had not completely condensed, he still slapped out with both palms fiercely, like two massive bolts of lightning, attempting to block this spear from Li Yuan.

"Rumble~"

A collision that shook the heavens and shattered the earth.

The tip of the Phantom Moon Divine Spear instantly pierced through both arms, annihilating the countless bolts of lightning, and then fiercely stabbed into that towering lightning figure.

Even though the lightning figure tried his best to resist, his body was still pierced directly by this spear, and the towering figure was sent flying backward with a bang.

"Haha!"

"Worthy of being the peerless monster handpicked by the Immortal Ancestor; truly formidable." The massive hole in the chest of the towering lightning figure was continuously closing: "When my body was not fully formed, I was completely no match for you."

"However, you can hurt me, but you cannot kill me."

"Now, you are dead." The lightning figure's aura was monstrous; his body had completely condensed, looking just like an ancient and powerful god.

Not just him.

The other six massive primordial spirit origins had also, in the blink of an eye, drawn upon the vast Heaven and Earth Origin Power, condensing into towering figures.

The seven towering figures all had vast auras, their every movement appearing natural and secretly aligning with the fluctuations of the Great Dao.

This was a sign of having comprehended a Law Great Dao.

The identities of these seven powerhouses who had descended were already obvious — the seven Dao Ancestors.

"Dao Ancestors? Are you Lightning Dao Ancestor? Are you Jin Luo Dao Ancestor? Hongguang Dao Ancestor?" Li Yuan identified the identities of the seven Dao Ancestors.

Each Dao Ancestor personally controlled a fundamental Great Dao and was the supreme leader of the Dao Court.

Over endless years, it was because of the existence of the seven Dao Ancestors that the Ten Thousand Gods Hall had never truly been able to invade the land of the Nine Thousand Realms.

"Seven-Star!"

"We seven Dao Ancestors have never descended into the Ten Thousand Springs Void; this is the first time." Dao Ancestor Hongguang's avatar exuded endless green light, his cold voice causing the void to tremble: "You are indeed a peerless monster, but today, you shall die."

The seven Dao Ancestors, as part of the Heavenly Dao, could not leave the lands shrouded by the Heavenly Dao in their true bodies.

Therefore, they had never set foot in the Ten Thousand Springs Void; after all, this void contained another origin.

They had descended at this moment at the cost of the lives of a large number of Heavenly Immortals, forming avatars that had briefly condensed.

If it were in the past, before the World Tree origin had weakened, the number of Heavenly Immortals required for them to condense such an avatar would have been three times higher.

Even so, the duration of an avatar would not be very long.

This was also the reason why, over the long years, they had never used this move to descend.

"Shoo!"

Dao Ancestor Hongguang turned into a streak of green light; it was as if a gust of wind appeared between heaven and earth, his palms like heavenly blades, whistling as they slashed toward Li Yuan.

This palm blade carried the complete intent of the Wind Great Dao, and its power was simply horrifying.

Li Yuan's eyes remained cold; he did not retreat in the slightest, choosing instead to meet force with force.

The long spear in his hand slashed out fiercely.

Boom! The Phantom Moon Divine Spear expanded rapidly, like a massive heavenly pillar, sweeping across majestically.

"Boom!"

Another terrifying collision.

The massive divine spear, appearing both real and illusory, collided with the palm blade that tore through the heavens; both sides were shaken simultaneously, and both Dao Ancestor Hongguang's avatar and Li Yuan were sent flying backward at the same time.

Hum~ The terrifying aftermath generated by the clash vibrated and spread in all directions, causing many True God battle formations to feel immense pressure and couldn't help but retreat repeatedly... the aftermath of the battle alone faintly exceeded the bearing capacity of these True God battle formations.

"Such crude moves."

"His physical strength is very strong, far exceeding an eight-star True God, probably not far from a nine-star True God, but clearly controlling a complete fundamental Great Dao, yet his moves are probably not even as good as many newly ascended Heavenly Gods. Truly strange."

How high was Li Yuan's vision now? He made a judgment instantly: "It's as if they are just fighting using the instinct of the complete Great Dao."

The comprehensive strength of these Dao Ancestor avatars seemed to be on par with his own.

Neither reached the threshold of a Heavenly God.

The so-called Heavenly God threshold is the strength of a newly ascended seven-star Heavenly God without using any star techniques.

"I also don't know the strength of the other Dao Ancestor avatars." Many thoughts flashed through Li Yuan's mind, and he transmitted his voice: "General Hall Master, retreat quickly."

There was no need for Li Yuan to remind them.

Upon seeing Li Yuan and Dao Ancestor Hongguang clash head-on, only to end up evenly matched.

"Withdraw!" Hall Master Sivu and other high-level members of the Ten Thousand Gods Hall had already sensed something was wrong.

After all, Li Yuan was only one person.

And there were seven Dao Ancestors.

Hall Master Sivu immediately issued an order: "True God battle formations led by ordinary Hall Masters, return to Cangxue City immediately."

Now, the Dao Court army on the front line of the battlefield was nearly wiped out, the rest had already fled far away, and most True God battle formations were not fast enough, so the effect of pursuing and killing was already minimal.

Among True Gods, the weakest six-star True God has divine power a hundred times that of a 57.9-level Void God.

However, as long as a large number of True Gods could return to Cangxue City, relying on the formations laid out by the Life Tree, ten thousand True Gods defending firmly should be able to withstand even if a real Heavenly God were to invade.

Do not consider victory without first considering defeat.

The moment he sensed the situation was not right, Hall Master Sivu decided to preserve the fruits of victory.

In Hall Master Sivu's view, the results of this battle were already extremely great; not only were a large number of ordinary Heavenly Immortals killed, but most importantly, more than half of the Heavenly Monarchs of the seven Dao Courts were killed... even if Li Yuan were to leave in the future and the Dao Court army were to make a comeback, it would be difficult to assemble so many top-tier great formations again.

It was just that the premise of all this.

Was that the Ten Thousand Gods Hall army could retreat safely.

"Immediately!"

"Re-assemble the formation! Counterattack!" While the seven Dao Ancestors sent messages to the remaining Heavenly Monarchs, ordering them to begin reorganizing the Dao Court army and prepare for a counterattack.

On the other side, the seven Dao Ancestor avatars all rushed forward, all charging toward Li Yuan.

Their primary goal for descending was to kill Li Yuan.

"Chi! Chi! Chi!"

Countless vines were born out of thin air in the void, attacking Li Yuan crazily. It was seen that "Heavenly Wood Dao Ancestor," who controlled the Wood Law, unleashed a powerful spell; those countless vines made it difficult for the Chaos Heaven and Earth Domain to suppress them, binding and crushing him heavily.

Causing Li Yuan's speed to plummet.

"Go!" Dao Ancestor Jin Luo moved with a bang; he himself was like a massive battle blade, turning into a dazzling golden light and slashing toward Li Yuan.

"Kill!" Li Yuan's aura was also like a rainbow, fearless, his eyes turning red: "If they all come to besiege me, it will give the other True Gods time to retreat."

The great battle erupted instantly.

The seven Dao Ancestors besieged Li Yuan alone simultaneously; this terrifying scene caused the True Gods and Heavenly Immortals of both sides to tremble and be shocked.

They only saw waves of terrifying Dao fluctuations spreading, followed by the combination of monstrous flames and water currents, like water-fire dragons, crazily entangling that towering True God battle formation.

Bolts of lightning.

Blade lights like golden lightning caused the space to shatter layer by layer... and those overwhelming green vines covered and obscured all of this, making it impossible for the outside world to see the battle scene clearly.

But clearly.

The battle situation was extremely tragic.

"Seven Dao Ancestors descended, besieging one person simultaneously?"

"Brother Seven-Star, can you withstand it?"

"This!" All the True Gods trembled. In such a tragic scene of slaughter, any aftermath was enough to annihilate ordinary True Gods; almost no one dared to participate in the battle, as it was completely not on the same level.

Except for those nine figures.

"Quick!"

"Join forces to share some of Brother Seven-Star's pressure."

"Risk our lives to save Brother Seven-Star!" Hall Master Sivu and the other eight Elder Hall Masters, the moment they ordered the army to retreat, led their True God battle formations and charged toward the area where Li Yuan and the seven Dao Ancestors were.

They knew they were far from being a match for the Dao Ancestors.

But to let Li Yuan be besieged by the seven Dao Ancestors? These Elder Hall Masters could not do it.

However, just as they were preparing to rescue him.

"Retreat quickly!"

"No need to come save me! Leave quickly!" Li Yuan's urgent voice had already sounded in the minds of these Elder Hall Masters.

Just at this moment.

!.

"Break!" A cold voice resounded through the long sky!

Whoosh!

A dazzling spear light streaked across heaven and earth, this spear light traversing the void; the terrifying bindings composed of countless vines and water-fire dragons were actually completely pierced by this terrifying spear.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" Several more eerie and unpredictable spear shadows streaked across; Dao Ancestor Hongguang and Dao Ancestor Jin Luo were blasted backward repeatedly.

Whoosh!

An illusion shuttled out from the space that was constantly shattering and closing, holding a divine spear, standing tall in the void.

It was none other than Li Yuan.

The besieging momentum of the seven Dao Ancestors had actually been broken directly by him.

"Dao Ancestors? Just Great Dao puppets with empty names." Li Yuan held the long spear, his voice low: "You haven't comprehended the Great Dao Laws at all; you have just been endowed with power by the Great Dao Laws."

"You cannot kill me." Li Yuan stared at the seven Dao Ancestors; having fought for only a moment, he had basically grasped the essence of these Dao Ancestors.

The seven Dao Ancestor avatars looked at each other, their expressions incomparably ugly.

Indeed!

In essence, they were all just "lucky ones" chosen by the Immortal Register; the so-called controlling the Great Dao was a joke from the start... if it weren't for this, how could they not have comprehended any Heavenly God moves?

If they were within the range shrouded by the Heavenly Dao, relying on the power of the Heavenly Dao, they could even kill Heavenly Gods.

But outside the Heavenly Dao, it was difficult to mobilize the power of the Heavenly Dao, and many drawbacks appeared.

At this moment, any one of the seven Dao Ancestor avatars was crushing Li Yuan in terms of pure power.

But Li Yuan's spear technique moves were too profound and unpredictable; those were true Heavenly God moves, and over several hundred years... Li Yuan had long since mastered more Heavenly God moves.

Even if most of them could not even be counted as "Heavenly God First Tier."

But group-attack spear techniques, defensive moves, area-of-effect force-unloading moves... the moves were complex and varied.

Not enough to kill the enemy, but the ability to save one's life in various complex environments was far beyond the past.

"Good!"

"Brother Seven-Star, formidable." Hall Master Mohai, Hall Master Xicheng, and the True Gods further away were all inspired upon seeing this scene.

"There is no hope of killing Seven-Star!" The seven Dao Ancestors were shocked by Li Yuan's strength, yet they knew time was urgent.

Not much time was left for them.

"Execute the second plan."

"Kill as many True Gods of the Ten Thousand Gods Hall as possible."

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The seven Dao Ancestors did not hesitate, scattering with a bang, actually ignoring Li Yuan, and simultaneously turning into seven streaks of light, charging toward those True God battle formations that were retreating.

At this moment, most True God battle formations had not yet retreated into Cangxue City.

"Stay!" Seeing this, Li Yuan immediately became anxious.

Even while leading the True God battle formation, his speed was still extremely rapid, surpassing any one of the seven Dao Ancestors.

Even Dao Ancestor Hongguang and Dao Ancestor Lightning were far inferior to him in speed.

However!

No matter how strong Li Yuan's strength was, he could only block one Dao Ancestor avatar.

"Seven-Star, I will accompany you." Dao Ancestor Hongguang's palm was like a heavenly blade, slapping toward Li Yuan's long spear.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!" Li Yuan's killing intent surged, the Phantom Moon Divine Spear in his hand flickering uncertainly, like agile snakes.

Although Dao Ancestor Hongguang tried his best to resist, he was still continuously injured, and for a time, he was completely suppressed by Li Yuan.

"Seven-Star, it is useless for you to suppress me." Dao Ancestor Hongguang laughed, fearless of death.

The seven Dao Ancestor avatars could not kill Li Yuan, but their condensed physical bodies were like True God bodies, injured but not dead.

In a short time, they could not be killed by Li Yuan either.

The speed of the seven Dao Ancestors was not as fast as Li Yuan's, but it far exceeded other True God battle formations.

Except for Dao Ancestor Hongguang, who was blocked by Li Yuan, the other six Dao Ancestors quickly charged into the Ten Thousand Gods Hall army.

Bearing the brunt were Hall Master Sivu, Hall Master Mohai, and others.

"Sivu, die!" Dao Ancestor Jin Luo's body was like a blade of light, slashing down with a bang.

"Jin Luo?" Hall Master Sivu led the True God battle formation, holding a shield in one hand and waving a battle axe in the other, meeting Dao Ancestor Jin Luo.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The continuous blade light was violently endless, beating Hall Master Sivu into retreat step by step.

The gap in strength between the two sides was very obvious.

But Hall Master Sivu's movement technique and shield technique were extremely profound; even though he was blasted away time and time again and the battle formation was continuously damaged, he was never hit directly by the blade light... actually holding on for a short time.

This was also because of the powerful vitality of True Gods.

"Delay! Delay for a little longer, and more True God battle formations will have retreated to Cangxue City." True God Sivu thought very clearly.

It was just that!

The other Elder Hall Masters were far inferior to him in strength and realm; facing the Dao Ancestors' crazy attacks, they simply could not block them for too long.

"Whoosh!" Dao Ancestor Jitu stirred up a monstrous earthy-yellow airflow, submerging a True God battle formation.

In the blink of an eye.

This True God battle formation was destroyed, and the one hundred True Gods inside turned into white bones.

The Dao Ancestors' killing speed was extremely fast.

"Ah!"

"Kill!" "Join forces!" Many True God battle formations, seeing it was difficult to escape, attempted to join forces to resist, but the gap in strength between them was simply too great, and they were broken one by one in an instant.

Once they lost the protection of the great formation, in front of Dao Ancestors whose strength was nearly that of Heavenly Gods, the difference between ordinary six-star True Gods and Heavenly Immortals was not significant.

It was just a difference of holding on for one or two seconds longer.

In an extremely short time, over ten True God battle formations fell, and over a thousand True Gods were killed.

Watching these scenes, Li Yuan felt heartbroken.

Several hundred years of time!

The time spent in the Ten Thousand Springs Void was even longer than in the Seven-Star Civilization; in his heart, Li Yuan had long since truly regarded himself as a member of the Ten Thousand Gods Hall.

Li Yuan became increasingly crazy, his killing intent becoming increasingly intense.

His whole body was faintly exuding a baleful aura!

Fast!

The spear technique had to be faster! Li Yuan's heart was filled with endless longing and endless killing intent.

Even, he attempted to activate the life-saving object left to him by Senior Xing.

That black token engraved with a special exotic beast statue.

According to Senior Xing, once this black token was unleashed, it was enough to annihilate any powerhouse below the Heavenly God level.

However!!

Exceeding Li Yuan's expectations, no matter how he stimulated it, this black token did not move at all.

"Could it be because of the heaven and earth of this realm?" Li Yuan could not care about thinking of other things.

He understood that today he could only rely on himself.

Rumble~ Li Yuan and Dao Ancestor Hongguang were fighting crazily.

"Hate?"

"Want to save others? Unfortunately, with your strength, you still can't do it." Dao Ancestor Hongguang sneered; he also longed to kill Li Yuan incomparably.

Suddenly.

In the void far away.

"Bang!"

The vines of Dao Ancestor Tianmu's avatar suddenly bound Hall Master Mohai's True God battle formation, followed by a streak of light that flashed past, and the head of this True God battle formation was already slashed off... the great formation collapsed with a bang, and the many True Gods inside immediately fled in panic.

"Destroy!"

Dao Ancestor Tianmu manipulated a large number of vines; each vine was like a large snake, all at the True God level, and the quantity was shockingly large, whistling past and killing one six-star True God after another.

Even though Hall Master Mohai struggled with all his might and unleashed many star techniques, he only held on for a little longer.

Hall Master Mohai, dead!

This was already the fourth Elder Hall Master to die in battle.

"Sivu, die." Dao Ancestor Tianmu charged toward Hall Master Sivu, attempting to join forces with Dao Ancestor Jin Luo.

Rumble~

Two Dao Ancestors joined forces to besiege him; any one of them was nearly a Heavenly God battle power. Even though Hall Master Sivu led a True God battle formation, he instantly fell into a desperate situation.

Whoosh!

"Not good!" Li Yuan felt extremely anxious in his heart, turning into a streak of light and charging crazily toward Hall Master Sivu.

"Block him."

"Kill Sivu!" It was not just Dao Ancestor Hongguang; even Dao Ancestor Jitu and "Liuying Dao Ancestor," who controlled the Water Great Dao, immediately charged over. They knew the importance of killing Hall Master Sivu.

Three Dao Ancestors joined forces, managing to entangle Li Yuan again for a short time.

... "Everyone, are you afraid of death?" Hall Master Sivu was incomparably calm; the True God battle god he led had already seen that most True God battle formations had already retreated into Cangxue City, and the city's formation had already been activated.

"Haha! General Hall Master, when have I, Tuo Tao, ever been afraid of death?"

"Fighting for tens of thousands of years, what is there to fear?"

"Our deaths have won a path of survival for more True Gods."

"Haha, what is there to fear in death? Being able to fight alongside the General Hall Master against the Dao Court's Dao Ancestors and die, I have no regrets in death." The True Gods within the battle formation all laughed loudly.

Hall Master Sivu also laughed.

The True Gods within the great formation he led were all deliberately chosen by him, all over twenty-five thousand years old.

"The origin of the Ten Thousand Springs Void is weakening rapidly. This is a once-in-a-thousand-years opportunity."

"Pass down the order."

"Mobilize all the Heavenly Immortals and True Immortals of the Dao Court to attack the Ten Thousand Springs Void."

"In this battle, our Seven Great Dao Courts will gather one hundred thousand Heavenly Immortals, and we must destroy the Ten Thousand Springs Void in one fell swoop."

(End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 539 =====

It was as if nine True God battle formations were born simultaneously.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The nine True God battle formations erupted, nine dazzling spear lights sweeping across the void, actually blasting the three Dao Ancestors away simultaneously.

Especially Dao Ancestor Hongguang's avatar; even his head and both arms were directly annihilated by this terrifying spear light.

"It's the Tenth-Stage Space Law!!"

"His Space Law 'World Direction' has broken through to the tenth stage." Dao Ancestor Hongguang's head grew back, his face full of horror, and there was even a trace of fear in his eyes: "Void self-formed, ten thousand phenomena grow."
