Chapter 560

In the territory of the Abyss Divine Court, within a vast expanse of starry sky, stood a colossal palace. The palace was pitch-black, surrounded by countless crimson flames.

In the void surrounding the million-kilometer-tall palace, there were stars orbiting it. These stars were white, black, green... multicolored. Each star was over ten thousand kilometers in size, totaling three thousand six hundred stars.

These stars orbiting the central palace were clearly a formidable defensive formation.

Hum~ The space vibrated slightly, and a tall figure appeared out of thin air on the steps in front of the palace.

Under the starry sky, there was silence.

The black-robed figure had a face covered in black scales and possessed three eyes. He wore a wide black robe that fluttered in the wind, emitting a rather peculiar aura.

"Clang!"

The black-robed figure suddenly knelt on one knee, his knee colliding with the ground like metal striking metal. He said in a low voice, "Guyuan, pays respects to the Chenmo God King."

If an outsider were to see this scene, they would instantly understand that this black-robed figure was the renowned 'God Monarch Guyuan' of the current Abyss Divine Court, a figure of immense strength.

"Guyuan."

The crimson flames surrounding the palace suddenly vibrated, forming streams of fiery air. An ancient, distant voice emanated from the depths of the palace: "I just checked; did you invite the True God Jiuying to help you?"

"Yes." God Monarch Guyuan was stunned for a moment, then immediately recalled some rumors within the Divine Court and nodded. "I was ordered to hunt down the remnants of the Heavenly Snake Clan. A Sacred Blood Heavenly Snake appeared in the Mohe Star Domain... Since that Sacred Blood Heavenly Snake originated from a mortal domain, I requested True God Jiuying to go and hunt it down."

"After all, in the current Divine Court, True God Jiuying is one of the top True Gods," God Monarch Guyuan said.

"Jiuying is dead!" The ancient voice carried a hint of coldness. "My disciple is dead!"

Boom!

God Monarch Guyuan's mind exploded. As expected!

Within the Abyss Divine Court, there had long been rumors that True God Jiuying had joined the command of a God King, but which God King it was had always been a mystery. This was a secret that would not be easily leaked... just as in the Chaos Divine Court, some peerless geniuses would also hide the news of their apprenticeship to a God King.

All of this was to avoid assassination by hostile forces.

Only now did God Monarch Guyuan realize that True God Jiuying was actually a disciple of the Chenmo God King... and the Chenmo God King was an extremely ancient God King.

The crucial point was, True God Jiuying was actually dead?

"Dead? That shouldn't be." God Monarch Guyuan couldn't help but say, "In that Beiqiu mortal domain, not even a Heavenly God has been born. With True God Jiuying's strength, how could he die?"

He felt puzzled.

"Regardless of the reason, I have confirmed this matter through the threads of causality." The voice from the depths of the palace was indifferent. "Jiuying had the potential of a God King, yet he died at the True God realm... This is not only a loss for the Jiuying clan but also a loss for my Abyss Divine Court."

God Monarch Guyuan was speechless.

Potential of a God King?

Theoretically, all Nine-Star Pulse powerhouses have the potential of a God King, but how many can actually become God Kings in the end?

"You were also acting under orders, so I will not hold you responsible." The voice from the depths of the palace was indifferent. "But you must do your best to investigate... Our Abyss Divine Court's means of communication are far inferior to the Chaos Divine Court's, so Jiuying could not send a message to me before he died."

"However, I can confirm that Jiuying did not die in a natural hazard, but at the hands of an enemy."

"Threads of causality?" God Monarch Guyuan pondered in his heart.

Since True God Jiuying was dead, then naturally, 'causality' would also be generated between the killer and the Chenmo God King.

It was just that, currently, neither side knew the other's identity, and they had never met. The threads of causality were very faint, and they were separated by different spatial dimensions; therefore, even a powerful God King would find it difficult to track.

However, no matter how faint the threads of causality were, with the Chenmo God King's strength, he could still confirm the existence of this thread of causality.

"Rest assured, God King, I will do my best," God Monarch Guyuan said respectfully.

"As a God King, it is inconvenient for me to bully the weak." The voice from the depths of the palace boomed. "I will let Qing Qing Tian help you, and I allow you to mobilize many precious resources."

Whoosh~

An invisible power of time and space swept past.

Swish~ A green-robed figure flew over from a star in the far distance. The speed of this green-robed figure was terrifying, as if it had surpassed the speed of light... In the blink of an eye, he flew in front of the palace.

"Great God King." The green-robed figure bowed respectfully, his eyes filled with reverence.

"Qing Qing Tian."

"Go with Guyuan to find the real killer." The palace voice was indifferent. "Guyuan, Qing Qing Tian, I hope you will not disappoint me."

"Yes." Both God Monarchs bowed respectfully.

Hum~

The power of space swept past, and the two God Monarchs had already been teleported out of this special starry sky.

In the starry sky, on an ordinary planet, the two God Monarchs appeared out of thin air.

"Jiuying is dead. Doesn't that mean my set of Heavenly Divine Artifacts, the 'Black Light Realm Tower', is also lost?" God Monarch Guyuan felt a pang of heartache.

Although he was a noble God Monarch with astonishing wealth, among the treasures and divine artifacts he had accumulated over long years, that set of Heavenly Divine Artifacts belonged to the top tier. This time, it had only been lent to True God Jiuying.

He hadn't expected this.

This loan had led to such trouble.

"Who is the killer?"

"True God Qing Tian Bing? True God Xia Hao?" Various possibilities flashed through True God Guyuan's mind.

According to the intelligence he possessed, in the Beiqiu mortal domain, these were the only two who could threaten True God Jiuying.

As for other True Gods? Unless they stepped into the Heavenly God realm, it would be difficult to kill True God Jiuying.

"Qing Qing Tian, what do you plan to do?" God Monarch Guyuan looked at the other party.

"The killer is currently in the Beiqiu mortal domain, and we cannot enter," God Monarch Qing Qing Tian said calmly. "But he will eventually come to the Divine Domain... From the Beiqiu mortal domain to the Divine Domain, he will only descend into the Mohe Star Domain."

"At that time, the God King will easily be able to confirm the killer through the threads of causality."

"I am now heading to the Mohe Star Domain. Once the killer is confirmed, I will take action immediately," God Monarch Qing Qing Tian said. "That is the territory of Molian. At the necessary moment, I will also invite Molian to take action together."

"Yes, good." God Monarch Guyuan nodded. "Then I will go with you."

"On the way, we will completely exterminate the threat of True God Qing Tian Bing."

Li Yuan was unaware of the turmoil within the Abyss Divine Court.

He and Liu Bing were traveling through the starry mountain range, where dangers occasionally revealed themselves.

Spatial vortices, invisible winds, or some 'Star Beasts' bred by the starry mountain range itself.

Many dangers posed a certain threat to Liu Bing's level, but for Li Yuan, they could be easily overcome.

While on the road.

Li Yuan was also investigating the large amount of treasure left behind by True God Jiuying... Many storage magic treasures had seals, and even with Li Yuan's strength, it took him quite a while to completely break them.

"Little Bing, the treasures left behind by this Jiuying are quite numerous." Li Yuan smiled and sent a soul message.

"Oh? Big Brother, have you cracked them all?" Liu Bing immediately became interested.

"Yes, those rare materials, elixirs, and True Divine Artifacts aside, they add up to a value of only tens of billions of Heart Dream Coins," Li Yuan said casually.

Tens of billions of Heart Dream Coins were an astonishing fortune for ordinary peak True God powerhouses, enough to make them green with envy.

But for the current Li Yuan? He didn't care much.

"There are twenty-six low-grade Heavenly Divine Artifacts, but they are all very average. It would be good if they added up to a value of over three hundred billion Heart Dream Coins," Li Yuan shook his head and said.

There was a very large difference between Heavenly Divine Artifacts.

The worst Heavenly Divine Artifacts could even be bought for hundreds of millions of Heart Dream Coins, only one level stronger than True Divine Artifacts like the 'Ancient God Palace'... They were considered heavy treasures for ordinary True Gods.

Normal low-grade Heavenly Divine Artifacts were worth about ten billion Heart Dream Coins and were usually used by peak True God powerhouses or some newly promoted Heavenly Gods.

Like mid-grade Heavenly Divine Artifacts, most contained the complete origin of the Law Dao, and their value would soar sharply, worth at least hundreds of billions of Heart Dream Coins. These were the weapons generally used by Heavenly God powerhouses.

"The mid-grade Heavenly Divine Artifact used by this True God Jiuying is actually a set," Li Yuan said.

"A set?" Liu Bing was stunned.

Whoosh!

Li Yuan flipped his palm, and a beast shape resembling a golden eagle appeared in his palm. It had incomparably sharp claws, and its aura was vast and incomparably beautiful. At first glance, it looked like a real divine beast... In an instant, it completely attracted Liu Bing.

Beautiful!

And full of wildness!

But if one observed carefully, one would find that this was not a divine beast, but a complete battle armor that could cover the whole body, composed of a large number of components.

"This is? A Heavenly Divine Artifact set?" Liu Bing's vision was also extremely high.

"Yes." Li Yuan nodded. "It is named 'Golden Demon God Armor', composed of one hundred and thirty-six Heavenly Divine Artifacts."

"One hundred and thirty-six pieces?" Liu Bing was astonished.

That was too exaggerated.

So many divine artifacts, and they actually formed a divine artifact set?

"Don't be too surprised. One hundred and thirty of them are low-grade Heavenly Divine Artifacts, and only six are mid-grade Heavenly Divine Artifacts... Used individually, their power is also quite good, but only when fully assembled as one can they be considered to have endless power," Li Yuan said. "This should have been specially refined for True God Jiuying by a God King."

"It can protect the body, accelerate flight, be used for battle and killing, and can weaken soul attacks to a certain extent... In short, it provides all-around enhancement," Li Yuan said. "This set of 'Golden Demon God Armor' is enough to make True God Jiuying's strength soar by a large margin."

"But he still died at your hands, Big Brother," Liu Bing couldn't help but laugh.

"Big Brother." Liu Bing asked curiously, "How much is this Golden Demon God Armor worth?"

"Value?"

"If dismantled and sold separately, it would be good to have two or three trillion Heart Dream Coins," Li Yuan pondered. "But if sold as a whole... the value could probably exceed ten trillion Heart Dream Coins, enough to make many Third-Tier Heavenly Gods, and even Fourth-Tier Heavenly God powerhouses, tempted."

"Ten trillion Heart Dream Coins?" Liu Bing held her breath. Even though she had obtained a God King's inheritance, this was still a huge fortune.

Li Yuan, however, was very calm.

Transactions between Heavenly God powerhouses were often calculated in 'trillions of Heart Dream Coins'.

Many heavy treasures were even hard to buy with Heart Dream Coins, such as the 'Space Star Emperor Fruit' in his own hands, the value of which was immeasurable.

"It's just a pity."

"Although this Golden Demon God Armor is good, it's not of much use to us," Li Yuan smiled. "For both of us, it's very difficult to unleash its power."

This set of Heavenly Divine Artifacts contained the complete Dao patterns of the Metal Law... It was best used by a Heavenly God who had comprehended the Metal Law.

"Alliance Leader Dongfang also comprehends the Metal Law," Li Yuan thought to himself. "Perhaps it could be suitable for Alliance Leader Dongfang."

Ordinary Heavenly Divine Artifacts could be sold if they were sold.

But for a nearly perfect Heavenly Divine Artifact set like the 'Golden Demon God Armor', once sold, it would not be easy to buy back.

Although the overall value of the Golden Demon God Armor was close to a 'high-grade Heavenly Divine Artifact', it was not of much help to him, so Li Yuan could not be called excited.

The other set of secret treasures he had harvested, the secret treasure composed of the eighteen black towers, was what truly made Li Yuan happy.

"Black Light Realm Tower?" Inside Li Yuan's body space.

Eighteen black towers stood tall, with a faint connection between them. Even without any divine power injected, just by floating there, they made the surrounding space faintly distorted.

Li Yuan had initially imprinted his life mark on the eighteen black towers.

A large amount of information about this set of divine artifacts was constantly pouring into Li Yuan's mind.

"This set of secret treasures is the biggest harvest from killing True God Jiuying," Li Yuan thought to himself. "Fortunately, this True God Jiuying's comprehension of the Space Law 'World' was not high enough."

"He could only unleash a small amount of the power of this 'Black Light Realm Tower'... If he could have unleashed the second level, I'm afraid that even if I took out the Cloud Light Realm City, I might not have been able to block it," Li Yuan sighed inwardly.

Only after recognizing the master could Li Yuan feel the terror of this set of secret treasures.

Any single black tower was a 'high-grade Heavenly Divine Artifact', and the eighteen black towers combined were even more terrifying... approaching the level of a top-grade Heavenly Divine Artifact.

"The Black Light Realm Tower is a set of suppression divine artifacts," Li Yuan nodded slightly. "It contains two major secret arts, 'Black Light' and 'Suppress Realm', both of which have three levels."

"With 'Suppress Realm' as the core, one must fully comprehend the World of the Space Law to be able to trigger it to the third level. If the divine power is strong enough... under its suppression, even a Fourth-Tier Heavenly God powerhouse would find it difficult to break free," Li Yuan thought to himself. "This is definitely a treasure suitable for a top-tier Heavenly God."

Being able to fully comprehend the World of the Space Law meant that the Law comprehension had reached the 'eleventh level', which was generally something only Fourth-Tier Heavenly God powerhouses could do.

As for the 'Black Light' secret art.

It was an attack continuously fired by the eighteen black towers within the suppressed world. Its power was not too strong, but it had the advantage of being continuous, and it consumed very little divine power... It was also of great help.

"This set of 'Black Light Realm Tower' is of great help to me," Li Yuan was very satisfied. "It can perfectly cooperate with my domain... First, use the domain to entangle the enemy, making their escape speed slower, then slowly set up the Black Light Realm Tower to cut the space and completely trap the enemy, and finally kill them calmly."

"However, my Law comprehension is not enough, and my divine power is weak. The power I can unleash is not yet as good as True God Jiuying's."

"Wait until I step into the True God realm and rival the Nine-Star Heavenly God body, then cultivate the Law Heaven and Earth... when unleashed with full power, I should be able to trigger it to the third level," Li Yuan was also full of anticipation in his heart.

If Law comprehension is not enough, divine power will make up for it.

Killing True God Jiuying was a huge harvest for Li Yuan.

After stepping into the True God realm in the future, the treasures needed to cultivate the eight perfect star arts would all be settled.

"However, this is only a one-time opportunity."

"Peerless geniuses like True God Jiuying possess astonishing wealth. Even if I killed ten ordinary First-Tier Heavenly God powerhouses, I'm afraid it wouldn't equal one True God Jiuying," Li Yuan thought to himself. "But killing them is also difficult."

This time, if it weren't for the transformation of Li Yuan's soul attack, suppressing the opponent's soul, wanting to kill him would have been a dream.

"If someone could kill me."

"That would be a big harvest, not just many True Divine Artifacts, Heavenly Divine Artifacts, and Dao treasures," Li Yuan thought to himself. "Even God King weapons, and the 'Source Seed', a supreme treasure that even God Kings would be greedy and fanatical about."

Similarly, wanting to kill Li Yuan was also extremely difficult; he had many life-saving means.

When it truly came to the most dangerous moment, Li Yuan could even directly invite the God Emperor to descend... I'm afraid that even a God King would be stunned if they encountered that.

Li Yuan wanted to share some treasures with Liu Bing, but was directly refused by Liu Bing. She said it very simply: "Big Brother, the previous six Heavenly God puppets were already a great help to me. Unless I step into the Heavenly God realm, ordinary treasures are of no use to me."

Li Yuan then gave up.

The two continued to move forward together, actually walking deeper and deeper into this starry mountain range.

Two days passed.

Although they didn't encounter any life-and-death dangers, a super-large space-time vortex encountered by chance required Li Yuan to go all out to break free.

"Big Brother, something is wrong."

"According to the route we are taking, if we continue to go deeper, we are getting closer and closer to the 'Dominator Palace' guided by the star map before," Liu Bing couldn't help but say. "Could it be that Senior Dongfang went to that so-called Dominator Palace?"

"Hard to say."

"Following the causal induction, it shouldn't be wrong," Li Yuan's face was also quite solemn.

He didn't want to break into the Dominator Palace.

But alas!

Searching for Dongfang Ji all the way, the direction pointed by the threads of causality happened to be this route.

"Big Brother, what should we do?" Liu Bing looked at Li Yuan.

"Break in." Li Yuan said decisively.

If he didn't find a way to save Dongfang Ji and just gave up, leading to the other party's eventual death... Li Yuan would never be able to forgive himself in his life.

"But Little Bing, you should return along the original path," Li Yuan looked at Liu Bing. "The road ahead will be increasingly dangerous."

Li Yuan did not fear death.

But Liu Bing did not cultivate the clone technique; once she died, it would be a true death.

"No!"

"Big Brother, I want to follow you," Liu Bing gritted her teeth and said. "I can also play a certain role... Besides, we have already gone deep into the starry mountain range; if I return alone, I might not necessarily be able to break back alive."

Li Yuan was stunned, then sighed lightly: "Okay, then remember, if you encounter great danger, prioritize saving your life."

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The two continued to move forward, getting closer and closer to the 'Dominator Palace' described on the star map.

Deep in the Ancient Domain.

Inside the Hundred Clans Sacred Palace.

Three powerful Heavenly Gods sitting on golden thrones, as well as over a hundred other ordinary Heavenly Gods sitting on black thrones, were still waiting here.

"Xuanyang!"

"That Nine-Star True God who comprehended the Metal Law was killed by that Eight-Star True God holding a spear." High in the palace, the Holy Spirit's voice was very indifferent.

It observed every part of the Ancient Domain world and knew many things; Li Yuan, Liu Bing, True God Jiuying, and the others were completely unaware of it.

However, according to the operating rules of the Ancient Domain, it would only tell the Hundred Clans Heavenly Gods the result, and would not transmit the battle process.

The last time it could be transmitted back was because the 'Heavenly God Puppet' had transmitted it back; it was just there to play it.

"What?"

"Killed?"

"That Nine-Star True God should have had First-Tier Heavenly God strength, right? And he was killed by an Eight-Star True God?"

"What is the strength of this Eight-Star True God holding a spear?"

"Could it be that he has Second-Tier Heavenly God strength? A True God realm erupting with Second-Tier Heavenly God strength? How high must his Law comprehension be?" This group of Heavenly Gods was shocked.

Under normal circumstances, between an Eight-Star True God and a Nine-Star True God, the huge gap in divine bodies would make the star arts also have a gap... wanting to make up for this gap was extremely difficult.

"Holy Spirit, where is that Eight-Star True God now? Has he gone to the Land of Lost Gods?" Sitting at the highest point, the 'Heavenly God Xuanyang', who looked like a Sun God, had a powerful voice.

"Hmm?"

"Now, all True Gods who have broken into the deeper parts of the starry mountain range have received my guidance, and the direction they are traveling is the Land of Lost Gods," the Holy Spirit said. "Moreover, an Eight-Star True God has already fallen into the Land of Lost Gods."

"Fallen in?"

"It's easy to get in, but hard to get out."

"These True Gods, even if their combat power reaches the Heavenly God level, their cultivation years are short, and their tempering of the mind is far inferior to Heavenly Gods. Ordinary Heavenly Gods find it hard to break out of the Land of Lost Gods." These Heavenly Gods were still full of confidence in the Land of Lost Gods.

In the blink of an eye, another half a day passed.

Suddenly.

"In the Land of Lost Gods, an outsider has stepped into the Heavenly God realm," the Holy Spirit suddenly spoke. "Xuanyang, according to the orders left by the Great Dominator, you can set out."

"However, for the time being, you are only allowed to kill into the Ninth-Layer area of the starry mountain range," the Holy Spirit said.

"Stepped into Heavenly God?"

"This group of outsiders is indeed a bunch of idiots, daring to break through to become Heavenly Gods? Seeking death!" The Hundred Clans Sacred Palace instantly boiled over, and many Heavenly Gods showed excitement on their faces.

If no outsiders became Heavenly Gods, they could only wait, waiting for the enemy to enter their home world.

Once someone became a Heavenly God, they could leave their home world and kill into the starry mountain range outside.

"Quiet!" Heavenly God Xuanyang's voice was low, echoing in the divine palace, suppressing all sounds.

All the Heavenly Gods in the palace quieted down.

"Holy Spirit, can you tell us who has become a Heavenly God?" Heavenly God Xuanyang said in a low voice. "Is it that Eight-Star True God holding a spear?"

The Heavenly Gods present were all shocked. If that super-strong Eight-Star True God stepped into the Heavenly God realm... even if they joined forces, they might not necessarily win.

"Cannot be told," the Holy Spirit said.

The Heavenly Gods looked at each other.

But Heavenly God Xuanyang, as well as the gray-robed old man and the iceberg-like woman sitting on his sides, all stood up, and a wave of fighting intent dispersed.

"No matter who breaks through."

"We must kill all the outsiders in the Ninth-Layer starry mountain range area and never allow them to step into our world," Heavenly God Xuanyang said in a low voice. "Set out!"
