Chapter 568: True God Realm (6k)

There are two major requirements for breaking through from the Void God realm to the True God realm.

The first is that the inner space must evolve to its current extreme, and the second is that the corresponding basic laws must reach the eighth-stage perfection.

When Li Yuan broke through from the Half-God realm to the Void God realm, he used the laws of earth as the core. Now, breaking through to the True God realm, he naturally still used the laws of earth as the core.

With his comprehension of the laws of earth having reached the ninth-stage mid-rank, it was very easy to break through.

"Divine Fire, condense the Divine Heart." Li Yuan's inner space was undergoing astonishing changes.

Boom!

The entire inner space collapsed rapidly, shrinking toward the Divine Fire at the very center.

Massive amounts of energy and matter, like torrents, rolled and impacted the Divine Fire at the center.

"Rumble!" The originally scorching Divine Fire rapidly converged and intertwined with the energy after the inner space collapsed, constantly compressing and compressing, and gradually combining with the profundities of the laws of earth.

Finally, a brilliant Divine Heart was born within Li Yuan's body.

The moment the Divine Heart was born.

"Rumble~" On this vast land, a huge and endless world phantom suddenly appeared in the void above Li Yuan's head, a full hundred million kilometers in size.

That's right!

A hundred million kilometers!

The world phantom had Li Yuan as its core. Following that, above the world phantom, a super-large earth-yellow airflow vortex appeared, blooming with a boundless aura, as if the Dao origin had descended... No, this was the origin descending.

The origin of the laws of earth, across endless time and space, descended directly at this moment.

Even if they were in different universes, within the entire universe, the laws of origin were the same.

"Hum~~" Strands of earth-law airflow containing origin power instantly permeated every part of the world phantom through the super-large vortex... causing the world phantom to gradually become real at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Rumble~" This terrifying movement caused the vast land to tremble slightly.

"This?"

"The world phantom evolving into reality is the process of breaking through from the Void God realm to the True God realm, but this world is too vast," Luli, wearing black battle armor, appeared. He also looked up at this scene, somewhat incredulous. "How powerful must this Divine Heart be?"

As a puppet, he had stayed here since his birth, but he had also been endowed with some basic common sense.

In his cognition, breaking through from the Void God realm to the True God realm could not possibly have such a huge movement.

"The world phantom has a maximum diameter of about 129 million kilometers." The giant purple beast was also watching. It could easily judge the size of the world phantom. "To be precise, it should be 129.6 million kilometers. It is truly incredible."

"As expected of the legendary perfect Ten-Star Vein." The giant purple beast sighed inwardly.

As far as it knew.

Like Nine-Star Vein strong practitioners, the 'world phantom' formed when breaking through from the Void God realm to the True God realm was only about a million kilometers in size... Even for a Ten-Star Vein, the maximum diameter of the world phantom formed was only a little over ten million kilometers.

And Li Yuan?

The movement was too big.

"Opening up a world within the Divine Heart, with such a vast world, the Divine Heart will also be powerful to the extreme, and the divine body formed will also be destined to be extremely strong," the giant purple beast sighed secretly.

It just watched quietly and did not disturb Li Yuan.

The Divine Heart condensed... the world phantom was actually a projection of the world within the Divine Heart.

Accompanied by the massive origin airflow transmitted by the origin of the laws of earth, that massive energy also caused the world within Li Yuan's body to expand crazily.

It was as if heaven and earth were being opened.

The Divine Heart underwent a drastic change. A vast world was truly born within the Divine Heart—land, deserts, wilderness, oceans... It was just that if one observed carefully, one would find that the entire world was still somewhat floating and was in a state of deathly silence, vaguely somewhat unreal.

"The Void God realm is the inner space containing Divine Fire."

"The True God realm is opening up a world within the Divine Heart, but this world is still only partially real and is in the process of evolution, unable to truly breed life. Only by breaking through to the Heavenly God realm can it truly transform into an inner world, no different from the real world," Li Yuan revealed a smile.

Even though the Divine Heart world was very desolate, Li Yuan's heart was still filled with excitement.

Because this was a world he completely controlled!

Such a vast world was unprecedented, at least in the Divine Court classics Li Yuan had checked.

"The world of the Divine Heart is the foundation of the Divine Heart."

"My divine body will also transform." Li Yuan was excited. "Once the world stabilizes and the divine body completely transforms, the strength of my divine body will be enough to rival most Divine Monarchs."

Breaking through from the Void God realm to the True God realm, the divine body will transform to a thousand times what it was before.

Conversely, breaking through from the True God realm to the Heavenly God realm, the divine body will only become a hundred times stronger.

In the Void God realm, Li Yuan, with his perfect Ten-Star Vein, had a divine body strength comparable to an Eight-Star True God body.

Now breaking through to the True God realm, becoming a thousand times stronger, his divine body would be enough to rival a Nine-Star Heavenly God body.

Looking across the entire Divine Domain, Nine-Star Heavenly God bodies were already top-tier among Heavenly Gods.

Time passed.

The giant purple beast and Luli had been paying attention to Li Yuan's breakthrough. The world phantom of over a hundred million kilometers took a long time to condense into reality before slowly dissipating.

When the Divine Heart world transformed to the extreme.

The world operated, absorbing a strand of mysterious power between heaven and earth through the world origin, giving birth to extremely pure divine power... which also caused Li Yuan's divine body to undergo a drastic transformation.

"The effect of the source seed is still there." Li Yuan sensed it carefully.

Although the Nine Lotus Divine Fire had dissipated, the mysterious power from the source seed had completely merged into the Divine Heart.

It could be said.

Possessing such a vast Divine Heart world, Li Yuan's speed of recovering divine power was already astonishing, and with the help of the source seed, his speed of recovering divine power would naturally be even more terrifying.

Nearly a day passed. Li Yuan was still sitting cross-legged on the wilderness, but the surroundings were like a sinkhole with a diameter of ten thousand kilometers, caused by the aftermath of the power manifested during his breakthrough.

"True God realm!"

"The Divine Heart world, divine body, and divine power have all transformed and succeeded." Li Yuan felt the surging power within his body.

Although he was still in the True God realm.

But except for the fact that the Divine Heart world could not evolve into reality like an inner world, in all other aspects, Li Yuan's divine body was completely comparable to a Nine-Star Heavenly God.

"Like the Demon Lotus Divine Monarch of the Mohe Star Region, or the 'Blood Feather Divine Monarch' who was the master of Alliance Leader Dongfang, or that Ancient Source Divine Monarch, etc." Li Yuan thought to himself. "Looking across the entire Divine Domain, the strength of the Divine Monarchs standing at the peak of Heavenly Gods varies, but their divine bodies are basically 'Nine-Star Heavenly God bodies'."

Among the Heavenly Gods of various major forces in the Divine Domain, there were batches of Nine-Star Veins, but not a single Ten-Star Vein.

"My divine body is already equivalent to that of Divine Monarchs."

"And, Divine Monarchs generally only cultivate one or two perfect Star Arts," Li Yuan thought to himself. "Once I cultivate all eight perfect Star Arts to the seventh-rank extreme."

"In terms of power and Star Arts, I will instead suppress all Divine Monarchs."

This was the terror of the perfect Ten-Star Vein.

Although he had just broken through to the True God realm, as long as Li Yuan was given enough time, he would be able to surpass all Heavenly Gods in terms of foundation.

"However, the premise is to cultivate the Star Arts to the seventh-rank extreme."

"And, I am currently only at the True God realm. In terms of law comprehension, I still have a huge gap with those Divine Monarchs." Li Yuan had self-awareness.

His talent was high enough.

But his cultivation years were too short.

Divine Monarchs were not only powerful in divine body strength, but their comprehension of the laws of space had also reached the eleventh stage, and most of the unique moves they created were close to the God King level... Some of those Divine Monarchs could even comprehend one or two God King-level moves.

That was the top-tier Divine Monarch.

"Compared to Divine Monarchs, I still have many shortcomings, not only is my laws of space only at the tenth-stage level, but I haven't even comprehended any single basic law." Li Yuan was very calm.

"Green Sky Heavenly God!"

"Ancient Source Divine Monarch!"

"Take it slow." A trace of killing intent flashed in Li Yuan's eyes. These were all his targets for killing.

Relying on his super-strong divine body, Li Yuan estimated that he already had the strength of a third-rank Heavenly God, which was already stronger than Heavenly God Xia Hao who had just broken through.

"After completing the trial of the Sovereign Hall, I can also command a large number of Heavenly Gods," Li Yuan thought to himself. "By then, a large number of Heavenly Gods will drive the Cloud Light Realm City together, and the entire city can be fully catalyzed. In the Divine Domain, most places can be visited."

By then, as long as God Kings didn't appear, Li Yuan would have the confidence to protect himself.

"Wait for a few more years of cultivation."

"If my law comprehension improves slightly, I will be able to compete with Divine Monarchs," Li Yuan's heart was also filled with anticipation. "And by then, my source body will also be the same as my main body."

"Two main bodies."

"Even if one truly dies in battle, the other main body can recover again, haha!" Li Yuan's heart had a trace of excitement. "One of the main bodies will hide in the Juexing Imperial Palace. Even if a God Emperor descends, they might not be able to kill me as easily as before through cause and effect."

He had been cautious before because if a God Emperor wanted to kill him, he had no way to deal with it.

But as his strength became stronger and stronger, Li Yuan understood that after entering the Divine Domain for many years, he finally had a trace of confidence to protect himself.

"One day."

"I, Li Yuan, without relying on anyone, must be able to stand in the Divine Domain without fearing any existence."

After breaking through to the True God realm, Li Yuan did not rush to fight Luli.

Instead, he studied and pondered the 'Silver Moon Divine Spear'.

"I have many treasures in my hands—Cloud Light Realm City, Black Light Realm Tower, Seven-Colored Realm Sea, Dream Realm Stone—which can all unleash extremely powerful might now, but other Divine Monarchs also have treasures of the same level," Li Yuan understood this point.

These treasures were all Heavenly Divine Artifact level and had very, very little use for God Kings.

Only the Silver Moon Divine Spear!

As a God King weapon, if it fell into the hands of some fourth-rank Heavenly God strong practitioners, they would be able to not fear Divine Monarchs at all.

This was the terror of a God King weapon.

"Master Juexing placed three layers of restrictions on the Silver Moon Divine Spear. I broke one layer when I was in the Void God realm. Now that I have broken through to the True God realm, although my law comprehension hasn't improved much, with my powerful divine power, I should be able to break the second layer of restrictions," Li Yuan sensed the Silver Moon Divine Spear.

Rumble~ The surging divine power from the Divine Heart world was constantly pouring into the interior of the divine spear.

Hum~

The large number of Dao pattern restrictions placed by God Emperor Juexing were constantly melting under the impact of the divine power, and the aura exuded by the divine spear was becoming more and more powerful.

Time passed in the blink of an eye, and three days passed.

"The second layer of restrictions is this difficult to break?" Li Yuan was secretly startled. "Looking at it now, wanting to break the third layer of restrictions, I'm afraid I'll have to break through to the Heavenly God realm to have hope."

After completely breaking the second layer of restrictions.

After Li Yuan's attempt, the third layer of restrictions was completely unshakable... But the Silver Moon Divine Spear, which had only unlocked the second layer of sealing, already made Li Yuan feel the strength of the might it contained.

It was much more powerful than the other treasures he possessed.

"God King weapon! 'Silver Moon Divine Spear' is definitely not an ordinary God King weapon." Li Yuan held the Silver Moon Divine Spear after unsealing it and felt the power and strength of its origin.

Swish!

Li Yuan only stabbed forward lightly, causing the stable space within the Sovereign Hall to tremble slightly, and a hole visible to the naked eye appeared... One had to know that when Li Yuan and Luli fought last time, no spatial cracks appeared at all.

"In the Divine Domain, some 'God King weapons' in the hands of Divine Monarchs, without any seals, probably have might and profundity equivalent to my Silver Moon Divine Spear," Li Yuan muttered to himself. "If the seal on the Dao source of the divine spear is completely unlocked, how powerful will the might be?"

But Li Yuan only thought about it. The more powerful a magic treasure was, the harder it was to control... If it were the complete form of the Silver Moon Divine Spear, he might not be able to catalyze it now.

Ordinary Heavenly Gods who obtained God King weapons found it difficult to catalyze them.

"Without the Silver Moon Divine Spear, my attack is barely at the third-rank Heavenly God level," Li Yuan's eyes brightened. "Once I use it, I'm afraid I can rival a fourth-rank Heavenly God."

The might of the Silver Moon Divine Spear after unlocking the second layer of sealing was much stronger than Li Yuan had expected.

Of course, it was still far from being able to compare to Divine Monarchs. Compared to fourth-rank Heavenly God strong practitioners, Divine Monarchs were an all-around transcendence.

"Take it slow."

"Just as the teacher said, give me a certain amount of time, and I am destined to be incomparably powerful, but for now, I still cannot expose the secret of the 'perfect Ten-Star Vein'," Li Yuan was clear about this point.

If the outside world knew that he had the combat power of a fourth-rank Heavenly God just after breaking through to the True God realm, let alone God Kings, I'm afraid even those God Emperors wouldn't be able to sit still.

He still had to hide for a few years.

"The Silver Moon Divine Spear, as a God King weapon, cannot be easily exposed either. It also belongs to a trump card," Li Yuan pondered what he should do next.

"It's time to go and defeat Luli." Li Yuan opened his eyes, stood up directly, and flew into the 'black arena' that was a million kilometers across not far away.

Whoosh!

Just as he entered the arena, Luli, not far away, flew over. He stared at Li Yuan with a solemn expression: "Candidate, you have finally broken through to the True God realm."

"Mm." Li Yuan nodded. "Are you going to admit defeat voluntarily, or should I beat you until you admit defeat?"

"I cannot admit defeat. Although you have broken through to the True God realm and your divine body has transformed, your Star Arts have not been cultivated to the extreme, and your law comprehension hasn't improved much in such a short time," Luli snorted coldly. "Wanting to win against me is not that easy."

As a puppet, it was impossible for him to admit defeat.

"Is that so?"

Li Yuan grinned, stepped across hundreds of thousands of kilometers, his figure swayed, and he transformed into a ten-thousand-zhang giant. A trace of a profound spear shadow had already appeared, whistling as it stabbed toward Luli.

"So fast!" Luli's expression changed.

Compared to the last battle, the speed of Li Yuan's spear technique was much faster and fiercely outrageous.

"Block!" Luli also transformed into a ten-thousand-zhang giant. The dark golden long staff in his hand soared, like a pillar of heaven, and smashed toward the huge long spear that was stabbing over.

"Bang~"

Li Yuan's spear was fast and fierce. It was a head-on impact, directly smashing Luli back again and again. Every step Luli took in the void caused the void to tremble.

"Your spear technique has actually become stronger again?" Luli was shocked. "It's only been less than five years! How can the progress be so fast?"

He didn't know.

Since breaking through to the Void God realm, Li Yuan hadn't comprehended laws much. In fact, to be precise, during the hundreds of years in the Lingmu Universe, Li Yuan hadn't been able to comprehend the profundities of laws with the highest efficiency... These four-plus years were the time Li Yuan had spent after the tempering of the Lingmu Universe, with his main body and source body comprehending and cultivating without any distractions.

And with the blessing of the source seed.

It could be said that Li Yuan's efficiency in comprehending laws was countless times that of most Heavenly Gods... Although only four years had passed, there had been a clear improvement.

"My strength is even stronger than you imagine," Li Yuan laughed.

He held the divine spear and killed his way up again.

Li Yuan only used the "Nine Heavens Feathers" and "Law of Heaven and Earth" and didn't use other Star Arts... In terms of power burst, he was still a notch weaker than Luli. After all, Li Yuan's "Law of Heaven and Earth" was only at the sixth rank.

But Li Yuan's movement speed was already far beyond Luli's.

The profundity of his spear technique was even far beyond the opponent's.

"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!" The divine spear and the long staff collided again and again, and the movement was terrifyingly large.

The two sides seemed to be fighting evenly, but Luli's pressure was getting greater and greater.

He was trying his best to block.

Because Li Yuan's spear technique was too fast and fierce, one spear after another, continuous and endless. As the battle progressed, he was gradually trapped in Li Yuan's battle rhythm.

The rhythm of the battle between the two sides was completely controlled by Li Yuan.

Yes!

Control!

The law of space 'World Direction' was originally the best at control. Now that Li Yuan was fully devoted to the battle, he completely treated this battle as a tempering of his spear technique... The more they fought, the more uncomfortable Luli felt.

"Just broke through to the True God realm, and he's this difficult to deal with?"

"The previous thirty-five candidates, even the two Ten-Star Vein strong practitioners, had broken through to the True God realm for a long time before defeating me," Luli felt aggrieved.

Every time he swung his staff, he felt that his moves were being predicted and easily blocked by Li Yuan's long spear.

"He is toying with me."

"He clearly could defeat me, but he is toying with me here." Luli completely confirmed this point.

He couldn't help but roar in anger.

But Li Yuan remained very calm and continued to exert pressure on him, completely treating him as a whetstone.

A long time later.

Boom! Another spear stabbed out. This time, Luli's speed was a large notch slower, and he was directly hit in the chest by this spear, then blasted backward and fell heavily to the ground.

"I lost." Luli said in a low voice. There was no loss on his face, but a trace of relief: "I've had enough, finally don't have to fight anymore."

"Why didn't you block this spear?" Li Yuan couldn't help but ask.

"My stored energy is exhausted," Luli shook his head. "So according to the rules, I lost."

It was too uncomfortable.

Being suppressed throughout for so long, but limited by orders, he, as a puppet, couldn't voluntarily admit defeat.

Now, he could finally be relieved.

"I..." Li Yuan still wanted to ask.

"If you have any questions, go ask the Holy Spirit," Luli shook his head and turned into a golden light, rapidly merging into the arena and disappearing.

It was as if talking to Li Yuan for one more sentence would bring bad luck.

Li Yuan was helpless. He turned and flew down to the side of the giant purple beast, which had been watching from the sidelines.

"Li Yuan, congratulations on passing the first trial."

"From now on, you are the Master of the Ancient Universe Realm," the giant purple beast laughed. "The hundred races of the Ancient Universe Realm, as well as those True Gods and Heavenly Gods, will all obey your orders."

"Mm." Li Yuan nodded and asked: "Holy Spirit, becoming this Master of the Ancient Universe Realm, does that mean I can take the treasures within the Ancient Universe Realm at will?"

Breaking through to the True God realm.

Next, wanting to cultivate all eight perfect Star Arts to the seventh-rank extreme would require a large amount of resources and wealth.

Li Yuan had many treasures on him, but most were what he needed himself.

Naturally, Li Yuan set his sights on the treasures within the Ancient Universe Realm.

"No."

"You are still only a leader in name," the giant purple beast's mouth twitched. "Just like you serving as the commander of a country, you can't just put the national treasury into your own pocket at will... Those True Gods and Heavenly Gods follow you and fight for you, so you can't just take away their treasures at will either."

Li Yuan was speechless. This was indeed the truth.

But calculating it this way, besides getting a large number of Heavenly God followers, this so-called Master of the Ancient Universe Realm was left with only a name?

"Of course."

"This is because you only passed the first trial," the giant purple beast pointed to the high mountain in the distance. "Do you see it? The second trial requires you to walk from the foot of the mountain."

"If you can walk one-third or two-thirds of the way, you will be given a gift."

"If you can walk the whole way and reach the top, it means you have completely mastered the Ancient Universe Realm. Then, all the treasures in the Ancient Universe Realm can be disposed of by you," the giant purple beast said solemnly.

Li Yuan's eyes brightened.

"Don't think it's easy," the giant purple beast said. "None of the previous thirty-five candidates were able to reach the top of the mountain."

"Even those few Ten-Star Vein candidates couldn't?" Li Yuan revealed a look of surprise.

"Mm."

The giant purple beast nodded: "To become a candidate, each one is a person of outstanding talent. Several of them cultivated in the True God realm for thousands of years and finally walked two-thirds of the way... But none of them could truly succeed."

Li Yuan's heart no longer had the ease from before.

The previous candidates, those few Ten-Star Vein geniuses, if they cultivated for thousands of years, even if their divine bodies were a notch weaker... I'm afraid their strength was not inferior to his.

And none of them succeeded?

"Your potential is stronger than previous candidates, but you are still too young, and your cultivation years are too short," the giant purple beast said. "Forget about reaching the top; it will be very difficult for you to even pass two-thirds."

"Is that so?" Li Yuan laughed. He was calm on the surface, but he was unconvinced in his heart.

As a peerless genius like him, how could he think he was inferior to others?

Whoosh!

Li Yuan moved his body, and his speed easily reached sub-light speed, rapidly approaching that towering high mountain.

The mountain was about a million kilometers high, shrouded in countless clouds and mist, and exuded a dazzling purple light.

When Li Yuan approached the mountain, he felt an invisible force enveloping him, causing his speed to slow down involuntarily.

He slowed down.

"Restriction!"

"The surroundings of this mountain have been placed with an extremely powerful restriction. The closer you get, the more difficult it becomes to even fly," Li Yuan was completely suppressed.

When he arrived on the road circling the high mountain, he happened to land in front of the mountain road.

Here, he couldn't even fly.

This mountain road was a series of steps, constantly extending upward.

"Must walk up step by step?" Li Yuan looked up and couldn't see what was at the top of the mountain at all.

Here, his divine sense was completely suppressed within his body.

Such means also made Li Yuan secretly startled. After all, he was now at the Heavenly God strength.

"Go." Li Yuan stepped onto the mountain road steps immediately.

When his left foot stepped onto the first step, Li Yuan felt a force eroding his whole body.

"Is it soul invasion?"

"It doesn't seem to be entirely." Li Yuan immediately realized that this invisible force was not only targeting the soul but also targeting the divine body.
