Chapter 557: Master Hall? Treasure Map Guidance

"Holy Spirit." The golden battle-armored man who looked like a Sun God looked at the top of the palace, his voice carrying a trace of respect: "The Heavenly God puppets in the puppet star, did they transmit back the combat scene?"

Other Heavenly Gods were curious.

"Yes."

"According to the orders left by the Great Master, you have the qualification to view it," the voice in the palace was gentle: "Take a look."

Hum~

Invisible power gathered, and a scene was formed in front of more than a hundred Heavenly Gods. Six Heavenly God puppets were besieging a True God, only to see the black-armored youth suddenly turn into a ten-thousand-meter giant, sweeping away the six Heavenly God puppets with one move.

Then, the black-armored youth's speed was shockingly fast. Even if the six Heavenly God puppets fled for their lives, they were still instantly caught up by him.

Then it was the domain unleashed by the black-armored youth.

Starlight shrouding ninety thousand kilometers of starry sky, suppressing everything, causing the speed of every Heavenly God puppet to plummet.

As for the other Heavenly Snake, although its strength was not bad, it was far inferior to the black-armored youth.

Finally, the six Heavenly God puppets were captured, losing contact.

The scene ended.

"What a powerful spear technique, what a strong domain," the golden battle-armored youth marveled: "That Heavenly Snake also seems to be a nine-star True God, but it is clearly only strong in power, very stupid in terms of technique, and only controls one or two Heavenly God moves, far inferior to this black-armored youth."

"Mm."

"This black-armored youth's spear technique, domain, and speed are all Heavenly God-level standards in all aspects. He should already have Heavenly God first-rank strength," the gray-robed old man said slowly: "His power feels not strong to me, he should only be an eight-star True God body... but his realm is very high."

"But the spear technique he unleashed did not perfectly trigger any kind of Great Dao Law."

"I suspect that his Space Law has reached the tenth-stage level," the gray-robed old man said.

"What?"

"Space Law tenth stage?"

"How is it possible!"

"A True God." The Heavenly Gods on the black thrones all revealed expressions of surprise, and the golden battle-armored man and the iceberg-like woman on the golden thrones were also the same.

Space Law tenth stage was a realm that most Heavenly Gods present had not reached.

Comprehending the seven basic laws was also the tenth-stage level.

In terms of absolute might, that is, in terms of attack power, the gap with Space Law tenth stage was not big.

But in terms of some auxiliary means, basic laws were far inferior.

"Wu, are you sure?" the golden battle-armored man said in a low voice.

As the supreme leader of the Hundred Clans, although there were many Heavenly Gods in this world, not many were truly worthy of his attention.

Only the iceberg-like woman and the gray-robed old man were worth it.

And the gray-robed old man was more ancient, and he had returned alive from the 'Master Hall' when he was at the True God Realm. Perhaps his frontal strength was not as good as his, but his eye for talent was more poisonous than his.

"Ninety percent certainty," the gray-robed old man said: "His domain is so terrifying, he probably comprehended 'Space Law World'."

The golden battle-armored man understood.

The gray-robed old man was a top-tier Heavenly God who had completely comprehended the Space Law 'World.'

Since it was the same path comprehended, the judgment should not be wrong.

"Interesting," the golden battle-armored man said with a smile: "The external ones who descended this time not only have three rare nine-star True Gods, but actually also have an eight-star True God whose law realm is so high. It is truly interesting."

The golden battle-armored man, naturally, identified Li Yuan as an eight-star True God.

After all, for them, nine-star pulse experts were already incomparably rare. There was not one in the current generation, and even their three major Heavenly God leaders were not nine-star pulse experts.

Like in the Divine Domain's largest faction, the Chaos Divine Court, there were many means left by God Emperor Juexing, making the probability of nine-star pulse birth far exceed other major factions, and the nine-star experts among Heavenly Gods did not exceed one percent.

Not to mention a ten-star pulse? For this closed world, that was purely a legend, never born.

"His realm is so high, and with a nine-star True God assisting, it is very difficult to trap him in other places," the gray-robed old man said slowly.

The golden battle-armored man nodded slightly and fell into deep thought.

Not long after.

"Everyone, I want to directly ask the Holy Spirit to introduce this black-armored youth, as well as several other True Gods with great threats, into the 'Lost God Land.' Do you all agree?" the golden battle-armored man's gaze swept across the gray-robed old man, the iceberg-like woman, and the numerous Heavenly Gods again.

"Agree."

"Can!"

"Trap them to death directly." Numerous Heavenly Gods spoke one after another.

Lost God Land was a very special area in their world.

Inside, space overlapped and circulated, there were a large number of small worlds, and there was special power shrouding it, containing endless illusions. Even if a Heavenly God fell into it, they might not be able to break out.

The longer the time dragged on, the deeper they would fall into the illusion, and eventually, they might even lose themselves.

Hence it was called 'Lost God Land.'

In history, many powerful external ones fell into the Lost God Land and were eventually trapped to death inside.

"Holy Spirit." The golden battle-armored man said loudly: "I want to ask you to introduce them into the 'Lost God Land'."

"Fine, this is the power of your Hundred Clans meeting," the voice named 'Holy Spirit' said slowly: "However, Xuan Yang Heavenly God, I must also remind you that if they survive and break through the Lost God Land, they will directly enter the world where you live."

"Even very close to the Master Hall."

"If you fail to stop them in the end, once they break into the Master Hall, it will be difficult for you to kill them again," the Holy Spirit said.

As the 'Holy Spirit' left by the Great Master, it was the guide of this world.

It actually did not care at all whether external ones broke into the Master Hall, nor did it care about the life and death of the internal world's life... In its eyes, whether it was internal life or external ones, it was the same.

It did everything just to follow the rules left by the Great Master.

"Holy Spirit."

"I understand, it is just that with their team combination, relying on the many dangers on the periphery, there is no hope of killing them. They will eventually break into our world, and there will always be a battle," the golden battle-armored man said: "Lost God Land is already the place with the most hope of stopping them."

In the eyes of Xuan Yang Heavenly God, Wu Heavenly God, and the others, the biggest threat was not the three nine-star True Gods, but rather that 'eight-star True God' whose realm was extremely high.

"If we let them break in."

"We don't know at all from which dangerous place they will kill their way in," the golden battle-armored man said: "Better to lure them to one place."

"Wait for them outside the Lost God Land."

"If they don't break out of the Lost God Land, that's fine."

"If they break through, we will join forces to kill them all," the golden battle-armored man said.

Their plan was very simple.

Under the Great Master's order, with the Holy Spirit supervising, although they had over a hundred Heavenly Gods, they could not kill their way out at all and could only wait.

Rather than defending everywhere, it was better to lure them to one place.

Of course, there was also risk.

Lost God Land was very close to the most important place in their world, the 'Master Hall.'

There, it was the important place left by the Great Master before he left.

"Understood, I understand."

"I will do my best to guide you," the Holy Spirit said slowly. "But you must also understand that guidance does not guarantee success... In any case, you must prepare for failure."

"If we fail."

"According to the orders left by the Sovereign, before they pass through the Starry Sky Mountain Range, I can relay their movements to you."

Deep within that black lake on the Puppet Star, the palace was originally empty, save for a single massive crimson disc engraved with countless complex secret patterns on its surface.

The six Celestial Puppets were not permitted to be stationed inside the palace; they only stayed outside.

Suddenly.

Hum~

An invisible spatial ripple swept past. Inside the palace, beside the crimson disc, a piece of metal appeared out of thin air, silently.

Several hundred thousand kilometers away from the Puppet Star.

"Big Brother, these Celestial Puppets cannot be refined at all." Liu Bing's expression was solemn.

"Hmm, I've noticed that too."

"Inside these Celestial Puppets, there is no source at all, only energy storage spaces," Li Yuan said in a low voice. "Their control cores are not within their bodies, so although we can capture them, we have no way to refine them."

Under normal circumstances, powerful puppets are similar to high-stage weapons; they all have a source within them.

Only by possessing a source can they slowly absorb the heaven and earth Yuan force from the outside world for combat and slaughter.

If there is no source, they cannot automatically recover energy and must rely on external supply.

Once captured and the source is refined, one can naturally obtain control over the Celestial Puppet.

But now.

The four Celestial Puppets could not be refined by Li Yuan and his sister, so they could not inquire about the corresponding information.

"These six Celestial Puppets act as one body, as if they possess a unified will. I had my suspicions before."

"Looking at it now, they should share a single 'Puppet Source'," Li Yuan said. "If my speculation is correct, that Puppet Source should be hidden deep within the lake."

"Hmm."

"The Puppet Source shouldn't be too far from them; otherwise, replenishing their energy would be too troublesome," Liu Bing agreed.

But immediately, a trace of hesitation flashed across her face: "Big Brother, that black lake is dangerously unpredictable. Do we really have to break in?"

"We must!" Li Yuan smiled. "When adventuring outside, how can there be no danger at all?"

"If we cannot find the Puppet Source, these four Celestial Puppets are completely worthless to us."

This was only one reason.

Another important reason was the guidance of fate in the dark.

It felt as if it would be wrong if Li Yuan did not do it.

"However, I will go in alone. Xiao Bing, you stay outside and keep watch," Li Yuan said.

If his true body were to fall, although he would lose many treasures, such as precious Yuan seeds, they would also be lost.

But with his Yuan body, his life would be secure, and he would have the capital to start over.

Liu Bing only had one life.

If possible, Li Yuan naturally did not want to let Liu Bing take the risk.

"Big Brother, I..." Liu Bing hurriedly spoke up.

"Listen to me," Li Yuan shook his head. "Xiao Bing, if I need support, I will naturally send you a message."

"Otherwise, if we both fall into danger, such as some terrifying formation, that would be the real trouble."

"Moreover, with my strength, the outer regions of this Ancient Domain should not be enough to threaten me," Li Yuan smiled. "When it truly comes to a critical moment, I can use some life-saving items to escape more easily."

Liu Bing calmed down, realizing that what Li Yuan said made sense.

Swoosh! Swoosh! The two turned into streams of light and arrived once again above the black lake, which was several thousand kilometers in diameter.

Just looking at the surface, one could not spy on the scene inside at all.

Boom!

With a thought, Li Yuan unleashed his domain. The perfect star technique 'Ten Thousand Star River' combined with the God King secret technique 'Chaos Heaven and Earth', causing starlight to bloom in layers. The power was astonishing, immediately causing the black lake water below to be parted.

"Such strong pressure." Li Yuan noticed the special nature of this black lake water.

It was far stronger than the pressure brought by the 'Black River' he had encountered before.

However, it was still held open by Li Yuan's domain, creating a massive starlight passage leading to the very depths.

"If I step into the True God realm and cultivate this star technique to the extreme, I should be able to easily annihilate these black liquids," Li Yuan thought to himself.

No matter how powerful a move or secret technique is, it requires sufficiently strong divine power to be unleashed.

"Entering." Li Yuan moved his body and followed the starlight passage opened by his domain into the depths of the lake.

After entering.

Li Yuan realized that the depth of this lake far exceeded his imagination. Ten thousand kilometers, twenty thousand kilometers... After traveling a full sixty thousand kilometers, Li Yuan's domain had already been submerged and covered by layers of black lake water.

"Hmm?" Li Yuan's heart stirred; he sensed two auras approaching.

His control over space was too strong.

Just like the previous battle, he had sensed the six Celestial Puppets before they emerged from the lake surface; it was the same now.

"It's that spear-wielding True God."

"He has broken in." The two Celestial Puppets hiding deep in the black lake water also discovered Li Yuan.

"Only the two of you left?" Li Yuan revealed a faint smile, and the Silver Moon Divine Spear appeared in his palm: "Then there's no need to leave."

"Kill!"

"Kill him." The two Celestial Puppets also gritted their teeth and charged up.

As puppets, although they possessed decent intelligence, their duty was to guard the palace.

They could not move far away.

If an enemy invaded, they had to face them head-on.

Puppet Star, above the massive lake.

"Big Brother." Liu Bing stood in the void, watching below with deep concern.

Suddenly, the lake water shook violently.

"Are they fighting?" Liu Bing was startled, but soon the black lake calmed down again.

Boom!

As the lake water shook, a black-armored figure suddenly flew into the sky and landed beside Liu Bing: "Xiao Bing."

"Big Brother, how did it go?" Liu Bing felt a sense of relief.

"Everything went smoothly. There were no other dangers deep in the lake, only those two Celestial Puppets, which I have already captured and suppressed into my cave-heaven magic treasure," Li Yuan smiled. "Additionally, there is a palace deep in this lake, and the Puppet Source is placed within it."

Whoosh!

Li Yuan flipped his palm, and a crimson disc flew out. The surface of the disc was engraved with extremely complex law secret patterns.

At the same time, six holes could be vaguely seen on the disc, from which waves of powerful auras were transmitted.

"Xiao Bing, you refine this Puppet Source; you should be able to control those six Celestial Puppets then," Li Yuan said.

"No." Liu Bing shook her head repeatedly: "Big Brother, these Celestial Puppets were all captured by you; you should be the one to refine them."

"What's yours or mine?" Li Yuan smiled: "Are we still dividing things between us siblings? These are only the lowest-grade Celestial Puppets; they are of little help to me."

"But this Ancient Domain is mysterious and unpredictable; perhaps we will be separated. With the six Celestial Puppets helping you, I will feel much more at ease," Li Yuan said.

"Alright."

"Then Big Brother, if you need these Celestial Puppets, tell me anytime." Liu Bing stopped refusing.

She waved her hand, and a surge of divine power wrapped around her spiritual sense and poured into the crimson disc.

With Liu Bing's strength, it took her quite a while to completely refine this crimson disc.

"Big Brother, it's done," Liu Bing said hurriedly.

Li Yuan immediately waved his hand, and the six Celestial Puppets flew out. However, they no longer had their previous ferocity and struggle; instead, they were all very obedient, bowing respectfully to Liu Bing: "Master."

That is how puppets are.

Once the source is refined, they are completely controlled and absolutely loyal.

"This is my Big Brother; you must respect him even more than you respect me," Liu Bing immediately pointed at Li Yuan and said.

"Master's Big Brother." The six Celestial Puppets bowed respectfully again. They had all been suppressed and captured by Li Yuan, so they naturally understood Li Yuan's astonishing strength.

"Explain your origins clearly," Li Yuan inquired: "Who refined you? Why have you been on this star all this time?"

These Celestial Puppets naturally would not have been born naturally.

Although Li Yuan knew that the Ancient Domain was left behind by the 'Heart Dream God Emperor', he was extremely unfamiliar with everything inside.

"Reporting to Master's Big Brother," one of the Celestial Puppets said respectfully: "Regarding our refiner, we do not know. Our earliest memories only recall being sent to the Puppet Star from the 'Hundred Races Yang Shengdian' deep in the starry sky."

Li Yuan and Liu Bing looked at each other.

Deep in the starry sky? Hundred Races Yang Shengdian?

"As for our memories before entering the Puppet Star, they have all been erased."

"We were ordered to be stationed on the Puppet Star. The Puppet Star has self-repair capabilities; after the formation is broken, it will gradually recover... and we will kill all outsiders who dare to break the formation," the Celestial Puppet said: "We have been stationed here for millions of years."

"What is the Hundred Races Yang Shengdian?" Li Yuan asked.

"The Hundred Races Yang Shengdian..." The Celestial Puppet hesitated slightly: "We only know that the Puppet Star only operates on the periphery of the starry sky, and the further one goes into the depths of the starry sky, it seems that the Hundred Races live there."

"As for which hundred races specifically, we can no longer remember."

"How strong are these hundred races?" Li Yuan pressed.

"We only remember that there were dozens of Celestial Gods in the Hundred Races Yang Shengdian, many of whom could easily suppress the six of us," the Celestial Puppet said respectfully: "Of course, millions of years have passed; the Celestial Gods who sent us into the Puppet Star back then should all be dead by now."

Li Yuan and Liu Bing were both shocked.

It sounded like.

Deep in this Ancient Domain, there seemed to be a vast world where a large number of lives lived, and there were even many Celestial Gods... One must know that the birth of a Celestial God is very difficult.

The more closed the environment, the more so.

Like the North Hill Mortal Domain, only one Celestial God is born every hundred million years... The Juexing Continent has the inheritance of the Ancestral Realm, and each generation only has about ten Celestial Gods.

And in this Hundred Races Yang Shengdian, there could actually be dozens of Celestial Gods?

Time passed.

Li Yuan and Liu Bing asked repeatedly, but these Celestial Puppets could no longer provide more information.

Whoosh!

Under Liu Bing's command, the six Celestial Puppets turned into streams of light and quickly shrank, entering the crimson disc.

Inside the crimson disc, there was a source that allowed the six Celestial Puppets to slowly replenish their energy.

Liu Bing waved her hand and put it away: "Big Brother, what should we do now? It sounds like everything in the outer regions of this Ancient Domain, like those many treasures, were probably created by the natives deep in the Ancient Domain."

"This Puppet Star is clearly a hunting star. If it weren't for our strong strength, if a regular True God had come, having finally broken the external formation, they would likely have been slaughtered by the six Celestial Puppets rushing out."

Li Yuan nodded slightly.

The water in the Ancient Domain was indeed deeper than he had imagined.

"But whether it was over ten thousand years ago or this time, no God has ever discovered the native life of the Ancient Domain," Li Yuan said: "This shows that the native life is likely subject to some kind of restriction and cannot leave the area where they live."

"At the very least, the Ancient Domain native life should not be able to reach the outer regions of the Ancient Domain," Li Yuan analyzed.

Liu Bing could not help but nod.

"Celestial Gods! And that's not to mention that they can give birth to a group of Celestial Gods; perhaps there are God Monarch-level powerhouses," Li Yuan said: "It is even possible that there are God Kings."

"After all, the Celestial Puppets only saw dozens of Celestial Gods; it does not mean that the Ancient Domain natives only have dozens of Celestial Gods," Li Yuan said.

This was the Ancient Domain left behind by the Heart Dream God Emperor. If there really were a God King sitting in command, Li Yuan would not feel too surprised.

That is the oldest existence in the God Domain! He is the first God Emperor of the God Domain, and is even honored by many powerhouses as the 'Eternal God Emperor'.

What means he has is something Li Yuan cannot fathom now.

God King? Liu Bing heard this, but her heart was startled.

In the God Domain, on average, one God King is born for every tens of thousands of Celestial Gods... If the natives deep in the Ancient Domain can produce large groups of Celestial Gods generation after generation, it is not impossible for a God King to be born in some era.

If there really were a God King, they would have no power to resist.

"Therefore, caution is paramount."

"We cannot rush into the depths," Li Yuan said: "Once we find Senior Dongfang, we will withdraw... If we really want to venture deeper, it won't be too late to come back when I become a True God and have stronger strength."

Once he becomes a True God, the mere increase of his divine body and divine power by a thousand times would be enough to cause Li Yuan's strength to soar by a large margin.

"Hmm, alright." Liu Bing also knew Li Yuan's special nature.

He had such strength in the Void God realm; once he became a True God, what would that be like?

"Additionally."

"In the palace deep in the Puppet Star, I also found a star map, which contains quite a bit of information. Xiao Bing, take a look and see if it's true?" Li Yuan flipped his palm, and a piece of special metal appeared in his palm.

It was only the size of a palm, but it was engraved with many special patterns, emitting a mysterious aura.

If one carefully sensed it with spiritual sense, one could sense a large amount of information from it... It was a star map guide and a small amount of information.

"This is... a star map of the outer regions of the Ancient Domain? Some areas even have names marked," Liu Bing sensed it slightly, probed the information, and revealed a look of surprise: "Big Brother, some of the areas on this star map correspond one-to-one with the places I've been roaming for the past few months."

"Hmm."

"So the star map markings recorded on it are true?" Li Yuan thought thoughtfully: "If we follow the guidance of this star map, there is a precious treasure land deep in this Ancient Domain called the 'Sovereign Palace'?"

"Hidden with treasures left behind by the Great Sovereign?"

What is the Sovereign Palace? Who is the Great Sovereign?

There was no explanation on this treasure map.

"Big Brother, I suspect this is false information deliberately left behind by the Ancient Domain natives," Liu Bing hesitated: "They want to lure us to the depths of the Ancient Domain so they can kill us."

PS: My wife is giving birth, and I am currently at the hospital.

Updates over the next few days may not be stable. If I have time, I will write; if not, I will have to wait until the situation stabilizes before updating. I hope you understand!
