Chapter 596: Heart World Like a Prison! The Curtain Falls (6k)

"How can this Li Yuan's soul attack be this heaven-defying? In one thought, he made a thousand Celestial Gods, including six Divine Monarchs, all sink into consciousness?" Divine Monarch Gongfu was in disbelief: "Even I had to split three-tenths of my mental effort to resist?"

"With such a large-scale attack, how much Void Realm power must be consumed?"

One must know that Divine Monarch Gongfu, as a top-tier Divine Monarch, had practiced for a long time, and his soul will had long been honed to be extremely powerful, and he possessed top-grade Celestial God artifacts to guard his soul.

Even so, under such a terrifying soul attack, he could only exert seven-tenths of his strength.

One could imagine the other Celestial Gods, who had absolutely no ability to resist.

Divine Monarch Gongfu fundamentally didn't know.

Back then, when he was only in the Void God realm, Li Yuan's research on soul profundity had already reached an astonishing level, not even inferior to many Celestial Gods... Later, when he stepped into the True God realm, the continuous improvement of his soul will alone caused Li Yuan's comprehension of the Heart Spirit Void Realm, soul, and many other aspects to soar.

Over these years, besides comprehending laws, Li Yuan also made his research on all things and all paths increasingly deep.

Especially the improvement of spatial laws caused Li Yuan's Heart Spirit Void Realm to constantly transform and grow, and his Source Body had been splitting a small portion of his mental effort to study and ponder the "Heart World."

Finally, with the help of the Myriad God Mirror.

Not long ago, Li Yuan barely displayed the second stage of the "Heart World." Since then, he had the confidence to go deep into the Myriad Dao Divine Court's sphere of influence, so he began to take action.

"Heart World," divided into three major levels.

The first level "Heaven and Earth Seal," belonged to the Celestial God-level move.

The second level "True World Starry," was already an entry-level Divine King-level move.

The third level "Heart Sea Boundless," belonged to the Eternal Dao ultimate move, which was the ultimate move of Divine King Xinjie that traversed the Divine Domain, making Divine Kings of all parties vigilant.

"Just like among Divine Kings, very few are skilled in soul killing moves."

"Top-tier Divine Monarchs are the same. Most top-tier Divine Monarchs comprehend Divine King-level material moves." Li Yuan's eyes were cold, feeling the silence of the void in all four directions: "Among Celestial Gods, those who control Divine King-level soul moves, looking at the entire Divine Domain, in the contemporary era, only 'Divine Monarch Brother Lu Ming' is one."

Divine Monarch Brother Lu Ming, holding the "Falling Star Bow," with one arrow, even a Divine Monarch had the possibility of losing his life.

Ordinary Celestial Gods? They were even more certain to die!

The soul killing move that Divine Monarch Brother Lu Ming was skilled in was single-target damage, making Divine Monarchs of all parties terrified.

"In the contemporary era, below the Divine King level, I am the second one to control a Divine King-level soul move." Li Yuan thought to himself: "'Heart World,' what it excels at is large-scale attacks. One thought of the heart can become a prison world."

Li Yuan, wanting to kill a Celestial God directly with his soul, was very difficult.

But similarly, Divine Monarch Brother Lu Ming wanting to make a thousand Celestial Gods sink into consciousness at once like Li Yuan? It was equally difficult to do.

"Such a super large-scale soul attack, my consumption of Void Realm power is also astonishing. I can't display it too many times, I must seize the time." Li Yuan's eyes were cold.

Just like displaying powerful material moves, it required consuming a huge amount of divine power.

Displaying a Divine King-level soul move, the burden on the Heart Spirit Void Realm was also astonishing... It was impossible to continue indefinitely.

"All sink."

"Only one Gongfu?" Li Yuan glanced at Divine Monarch Gongfu, who was ten million kilometers away and hating to the point of madness. He didn't care at all.

One Celestial God battle array after another was like they were asleep.

"Want to exhaust all your strength to kill me? I want to see who kills whom." Li Yuan had an unconcealable killing intent in his heart.

The operating law of the universe was the survival of the fittest, so Li Yuan didn't feel that the Myriad Dao Divine Court wanting to kill him was wrong.

Plus, it was his own provocation first.

Therefore, even when he had the opportunity to kill Divine Monarch Qingsha, Li Yuan let the opponent go.

Even just a moment ago, if Divine Monarch Gongfu had chosen to back down, Li Yuan still wouldn't have displayed his killing move.

However!

The Myriad Dao Divine Court's repeated hunting and forcing finally made Li Yuan decide.

His principle of conduct had always been very simple.

Distinguish between kindness and resentment.

Those who want to kill me, I will pay them back a hundred or a thousand times.

"I am now only revealing talent not inferior to a Ten-Star Pulse, and I have already had the Abyss Divine Court's assassination, followed by the Myriad Dao Divine Court taking the opportunity to exhaust all its strength to strangle me... and there are many Divine Courts spying in the dark." Li Yuan had a ferocity in his bones, or rather, every super powerhouse, once they went crazy, was incomparably cruel.

"Then let's kill!"

"In the Divine Domain, don't talk about reason, only recognize truth. Kill until countless Celestial Gods are terrified when they hear my name, kill until all Divine Court powers, when they see me, have to weigh the price of provoking me."

Hu! Hu! The spear light streaked across the sky, like poisonous snakes taking lives, sweeping away one Celestial God battle array after another, and then directly annihilating the Celestial Gods inside.

Crazy killing!

"Die! Die! Die! In one round, a full nineteen Celestial Gods fell."

"No!" Ten million kilometers away, Divine Monarch Gongfu, who was originally recovering his divine power, was shocked and angry. He was the only one who had resisted Li Yuan's soul invasion and had not had his consciousness sunk.

(End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 597 =====

Li Yuan, having slaughtered one Heavenly God battle formation, unleashed the Nine Heavens Feathers, his figure ghostly as he lunged toward that Heavenly God battle formation.

His flight speed easily broke the speed of light.

He rapidly closed in on another Heavenly God battle formation.

"Whoosh!" Once again, a spear strike slashed across the heavens and earth, its radiance dazzling, as if piercing through a vast world. Wherever the spear light reached, the Heavenly God battle formation collapsed with a boom, revealing the large number of Heavenly Gods inside.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!" The divine spear swept across, and the bodies of one Heavenly God after another exploded, then immediately annihilated.

Die! Die! Die! In a single encounter, a full nineteen Heavenly Gods fell.

"This!"

"The Heavenly God battle formation, destroyed in an instant?"

"Madman! Li Yuan, you're mad!" Divine Lord Gongfu was rushing over at top speed, but although his speed far exceeded Li Yuan's, they were separated by ten million kilometers, and under the full suppression of layers of starlight, it would take at least ten seconds to arrive.

Therefore, when he saw the scene of Li Yuan's outburst again, his anger flared, and he transmitted furiously: "Li Yuan, how dare you!"

He had originally thought that Li Yuan was taking the opportunity to reveal his strength to intimidate their side and escape.

Or perhaps to capture a batch of Heavenly Gods to use as bargaining chips.

He never expected that once Li Yuan erupted, he would begin the slaughter without the slightest hesitation.

He hadn't stopped after slaughtering one Heavenly God battle formation.

He was going to follow up by slaughtering a second one?

This was clearly a crazed slaughter; how could he dare?

Moreover, the incredibly resilient Heavenly God battle formation hadn't even been able to withstand a single spear strike from Li Yuan before being destroyed? If destroying one was luck or coincidence, then two in a row?

That meant something completely different.

One must know, for an ordinary Divine Lord to break a Heavenly God battle formation, even if the opponent didn't resist and they went all out, it would generally take three to five moves.

Divine Lord Gongfu did not know that this was the effect of the "Eye of Heavenly Serenity"... while it didn't seem to directly increase combat power, it possessed unfathomable abilities in investigation, deduction, peeking into fate and karma, and even the direction of timelines.

Perfect Star Techniques each had their own unique aspects.

And the "Eye of Heavenly Serenity," like the "Chaos Precious Body," was a passive Star Technique with extremely low divine power consumption.

However, Divine Lord Gongfu didn't understand how Li Yuan did it, but that didn't stop him from feeling anxious.

"Divine Lord Li Yuan, I admit you won this battle!" Divine Lord Gongfu transmitted repeatedly: "You have already slaughtered over fifty Heavenly Gods; that should be enough to vent your anger."

"It is also enough to make you famous throughout all parts of the Divine Domain."

"If you continue to slaughter, you will thoroughly enrage my Myriad Dao Divine Court, and when that time comes, the God Kings will likely descend directly." Divine Lord Gongfu said urgently: "Stop now."

Divine Lord Gongfu was indeed anxious.

The death of a few Heavenly Gods, or a few dozen, didn't actually affect the foundation of the Myriad Dao Divine Court... after all, the foundation of a Divine Court was the supreme God Emperors, followed by the numerous God Kings.

Heavenly Gods? They were born and died in batches; the impact wasn't significant.

However, the thousands of Heavenly Gods present had all come to participate in the battle in response to a call. If the casualties were too heavy, it would affect the reputation of the entire Divine Court... As the executor of this operation, Divine Lord Gongfu could foresee that he would be severely punished.

"Hahaha!"

"Gongfu! Thoroughly enrage the Myriad Dao Divine Court? God Kings descending?" A trace of madness showed in Li Yuan's icy eyes: "I gave you all a chance. If you had cleared the path early on, I wouldn't have erupted."

"Since you forced me to erupt, then bear the consequences!"

"If your Myriad Dao Divine Court wants to come and kill me, then come and kill me!" Li Yuan's voice resounded through the heavens and earth, appearing incomparably mad: "I want to see which God King is willing to descend."

"At worst, a life for a life!"

"Fire Phoenix, Xuan Yang, all of you, move and kill!" Li Yuan let out a heaven-shaking roar.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Whoosh! The spear light swept across the long sky like venomous snakes claiming lives, destroying one Heavenly God battle formation after another, and immediately annihilating the Heavenly Gods inside.

Crazed slaughter!

"Kill! Exhilarating! Exhilarating! Haha, it's been a long time since I've slaughtered so exhilaratingly." Fire Phoenix was incredibly excited, her wings spread, and the vast flames blotted out the sky and sun.

"Don't try to capture them."

"We can't contain the Heavenly God battle formations at all. According to the Domain Lord's orders, attack directly; kill as many as we can." Inside the Cloud Light Realm City, Heavenly God Xuan Yang, Heavenly God Ice Nether, and the other powerhouses were equally excited.

Just a moment ago, their hearts had been filled with despair!

In the blink of an eye, the situation had turned around; the Domain Lord had actually unleashed an incredible killing move, causing a thousand Heavenly Gods to sink into consciousness in one fell swoop?

What kind of killing move was this?

Neither Li Yuan, nor Fire Phoenix, nor the Cloud Light Realm City went to capture them... A Heavenly God battle formation was like a vast world, and the individual Heavenly Gods were even more so; their divine bodies had spirits and would instinctively resist all sealing methods.

Compared to slaughter.

Capture efficiency was much slower... capturing alive had always been more difficult than killing directly.

"Boom, boom, boom~"

"Whoosh, whoosh!" One Heavenly God battle formation after another was destroyed under the crazed attacks of Li Yuan, Fire Phoenix, and the others.

Li Yuan's efficiency was the most terrifying; in just a few seconds, five Heavenly God battle formations were destroyed.

Over a hundred Heavenly Gods had already lost their lives.

"Are these Divine Lords about to wake up?" Li Yuan thought to himself, sensing the consciousness struggle of those six Divine Lords.

In reality, being able to make these Divine Lords sink into consciousness for several seconds was already because Li Yuan had spared no effort in using his Void Realm power to continuously cast "Heart Realm"... In life-and-death battles between powerhouses, victory or defeat was often decided in an extremely short time.

However, Divine Lords had strong life forces; even if they stood still, with Li Yuan's material attacks, it would take quite a while to kill them... so he didn't rush to attack those Divine Lords.

He focused specifically on the Heavenly God battle formations.

Li Yuan's sudden outburst and slaughter... not only enraged Divine Lord Gongfu, but also caused the God Kings of all sides watching the battle in the high-level space-time to be either angry or amazed and moved.

Among the high-level Myriad Dao Divine Court side.

"This?"

"How is this possible!" God King Yu Chen was incredulous: "How many years has he been cultivating, and his soul attacks can actually reach such a level? Could it be that he possesses a soul-attack type God King weapon?"

"That shouldn't be." "Even with a God King-level weapon, one must have sufficient insight to unleash sufficiently powerful might."

"This growth speed is completely unreasonable."

"Over a hundred Heavenly Gods have already fallen, and if the slaughter continues like this, only more Heavenly Gods will die." The God Kings of the Myriad Dao Divine Court all felt angry and helpless.

In a single battle, hundreds of Heavenly Gods were to fall?

How long had it been since that happened?

The key was that it was caused by one person.

"What should we do?"

"Let him slaughter?" Many God Kings of the Myriad Dao Divine Court were sensing the attitude of God King Blood Flame.

At this moment, these God Kings were all prepared to strike.

"Blood Flame, should we strike?" God King Yu Chen transmitted repeatedly: "This Li Yuan has only been cultivating for a few hundred years, yet he has already grown to such a level; there is a 99% probability he will become a God King in the future... Once he becomes a God King, with his temperament, I fear..."

At this moment, God King Yu Chen seemed to have forgotten that God King Chen Mo had said similar words to him not long ago.

Read every word carefully!

"Strike?"

"Yu Chen, do you want to strike first?" God King Blood Flame said faintly.

God King Yu Chen immediately fell silent.

In reality, the God Kings of the Myriad Dao Divine Court had already sensed that extremely powerful life forms were lurking in the void... they were the God Kings of the Chaos Divine Court.

Clearly, after such a long time, the God Kings of the Chaos Divine Court had already secretly arrived in their true bodies, prepared to meet the battle.

Even if God King Blood Flame was the number one God King of the current Divine Domain... the Chaos Divine Court had the largest number of God Kings.

The Myriad Dao Divine Court and the Abyss Divine Court combined... could only barely match the number of God Kings in the Chaos Divine Court.

Once a war started, the consequences would be unpredictable.

"A few Heavenly Gods dying, even if all these thousand-plus Heavenly Gods die, what does it count for?" God King Blood Flame was very calm: "Generation after generation of Heavenly Gods die, but how many God Kings can be born?"

"Since the God Emperors have established the rules, then let us not easily break them."

"Then just give up like this? Let him slaughter?" God King Yu Chen felt unwilling.

This operation was ordered by him.

And the situation developing to this point had already caused him to lose all face.

"Wu Qing, I remember you and Master Master Dongmang have a good relationship, right." God King Blood Flame said softly.

"Yes."

"Go and talk."

The God Kings of the Myriad Dao Divine Court were angry, while the God Kings of the Chaos Divine Court were surprised and joyful.

Just a moment ago, Li Yuan and his subordinates had been passively taking hits, and Li Yuan even looked like he was about to be smashed into a sealing divine artifact, making them anxious... but then Li Yuan suddenly erupted.

This outburst could be described as earth-shattering.

"Impressive!" God King Black Ruo sighed sincerely: "So, Li Yuan's most powerful aspect isn't material defense, but soul methods."

"It is definitely a God King-level soul move."

"Looking at the countless Heavenly Gods in the Divine Domain, in the current generation, there are many who can comprehend God King-level material moves, but in terms of soul, only Lu Ming can compare to him." God King Yan Zhu sighed.

"The soul path is completely comparable to the entire material path. How difficult is it to reach a high level? Even for us, our attainments in the soul aspect are mostly not much deeper than his, right." God King Dark Light said.

"Remarkable."

These God Kings were all quite moved... For those at the Heavenly God realm who could comprehend God King-level material moves, they didn't care.

Because they could do it at the Heavenly God realm too; otherwise, how could they become God Kings?

But the soul path? During their Heavenly God stage, almost all of them were inferior to Li Yuan, so naturally, they admired him.

"If I'm not mistaken, this move should be a unique skill of the Heart Realm." God King Fire Illusion transmitted with a smile.

"It seems so."

"Heart Realm has been silent, he must be very proud in his heart." Many God Kings were smiling.

They had all completely relaxed.

With the strength Li Yuan had revealed, let alone the current siege of over a thousand Heavenly Gods... even if there were one or two thousand more, it wouldn't make much difference.

"I said long ago that Li Yuan's talent on the soul path is higher than his material path." God King Heart Realm said calmly: "There is a reason why the God Emperor chose him as a disciple."

"Yes!"

"As expected of a God Emperor, his vision is truly different; he already took a fancy to him when he was at the Demi-God realm." These God Kings were all boasting.

But in reality? Most God Emperor disciples couldn't become God Kings either.

"Soul path?"

"Little Junior Brother is truly impressive." God King Master Master Dongmang thought to himself: "No wonder he was valued by God Emperor Heart Dream."

Throughout the entire Divine Domain, the one with the highest achievements on the soul path was undoubtedly God Emperor Heart Dream.

"Material, soul... could it be that Little Junior Brother is really going to follow the path of God King Senior Senior Huanxin?" A thought flashed through God King Master Master Dongmang's mind, with a trace of worry and a trace of excitement.

Worry, because he knew how difficult the path of combining material and soul was; this was a terrifying path, and also the most difficult one. To this day, no one in the Divine Domain had been able to step into the Emperor realm along this path...

Excitement, because God King Master Master Dongmang knew very well that Li Yuan was a Ten-Star Pulse... Back then, God King Senior Senior Huanxin, with only an Eight-Star God Body, relied on this incredible Eternal Dao to stand at the peak of God Kings.

What about Li Yuan?

Once he reached that step.

"Perhaps, an incredible existence who is truly comparable to a God Emperor at the God King realm will really be born." God King Master Master Dongmang thought to himself: "That would be a legend of the entire universe."

However, God King Master Master Dongmang was just thinking about it for now.

Li Yuan was currently only just touching the edge of a God King on the soul path... he was still a long way from mastering the complete space laws, let alone opening up an Eternal Dao.

Suddenly.

"Master Master Dongmang, let's talk." A gentle voice suddenly rang in God King Master Master Dongmang's mind.

"Wu Qing?" God King Master Master Dongmang was startled, then nodded: "Fine, I'll give you face, let's talk. I'll have Li Yuan stop."

In the dim starry sky, layers of hazy starlight dispersed, shrouding a large number of sleeping Heavenly Gods.

The treasures left behind after the large number of Heavenly Gods fell were drifting continuously with the repeated clashes between Li Yuan and Divine Lord Gongfu.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

"Li Yuan, you truly deserve to die." Divine Lord Gongfu's eyes turned red, and sparing no cost, his palms bloomed, appearing like two worlds as he slapped at Li Yuan again and again.

His heart was dripping blood.

Fighting until now, over three hundred Heavenly Gods on the Myriad Dao Divine Court side had already fallen.

And the vast majority of the remaining Heavenly Gods had still not woken up.

Because Li Yuan was still continuously casting "Heart Realm." Under the coverage of the Heart Realm, besides the seven Divine Lords, only less than ten Heavenly Gods with extremely strong soul willpower had woken up.

However!

Even if they woke up, so what? Like Divine Lord Qiu Yi and Divine Lord Black Radiance, even if they tried their best to adapt to Li Yuan's soul moves... they still had to expend over 70% of their mental energy to resist.

Otherwise, their consciousness would sink again.

This was the terror of soul killing moves; even if one side managed to resist with all their might and barely kept their consciousness clear, their combat performance would be greatly affected.

Added to Li Yuan's domain suppression... it could be said that except for Divine Lord Gongfu who still maintained 70% of his strength, the strength displayed by the other six Divine Lords could only be considered as powerful Heavenly God Fourth-Stage.

"Kill!" Li Yuan's divine spear thrust out, the spear light dazzling, meeting Divine Lord Gongfu in battle.

The two sides clashed again and again.

Even if Divine Lord Gongfu's strength was affected, in terms of material attacks, he was still much stronger than Li Yuan.

It was just that his divine power consumption was huge, and he didn't dare to recklessly unleash his strongest unique moves, so he could only suppress Li Yuan; wanting to completely delay Li Yuan was difficult.

"Swoosh!"

A wisp of spear light suddenly slashed across hundreds of thousands of kilometers, destroying a Heavenly God battle formation; the remaining power of the spear light even killed two Heavenly Gods with weak divine bodies.

"Haha, kill on!"

"Gongfu." Li Yuan laughed wildly and wantonly: "You can't kill me, and you can't stop me. As long as we continue to fight, I can destroy a Heavenly God battle formation every now and then; the number of Heavenly Gods I slaughter will only be more."

Divine Lord Gongfu felt angry in his heart, but also somewhat helpless.

There was no way!

Li Yuan's material defense was too terrifying; he could completely withstand his attacks and slaughter again and again... If it weren't for his desperate delay, I fear the number of fallen Heavenly Gods wouldn't be over three hundred.

But at least six hundred.

As for the other six Divine Lords? They were fighting for their lives just to delay Fire Phoenix and the Cloud Light Realm City.

Suddenly.

"Little Junior Brother has slaughtered enough in this battle; the Myriad Dao Divine Court has already made concessions. Let it end here." A voice rang in Li Yuan's mind: "When you return to the Emperor Palace, the Divine Court will compensate you."

"Senior Brother?" Li Yuan quickly calmed down.

It was the karmic transmission of God King Master Master Dongmang.

"Good." Li Yuan already understood that it must be that the highest levels of the two Divine Courts had reached a reconciliation.

Listening to Senior Brother's meaning, was it that the Myriad Dao Divine Court was making concessions in exchange for him stopping the slaughter?

In reality, even if it continued, it would be difficult for Li Yuan to slaughter too many more... having crazily cast "Heart Realm" again and again, his Void Realm power had already been consumed by over 80%.

Swoosh!

Li Yuan retreated violently, and Divine Lord Gongfu in the distance was also startled for a moment; he didn't continue to pursue and kill, but stopped.

Clearly, he had also received a transmission from his side's God King.

"Stop." Li Yuan transmitted to Fire Phoenix, Heavenly God Xuan Yang, and the others.

Quickly.

Everyone stopped fighting, and the entire starry sky quieted down.

And as Li Yuan stopped casting "Heart Realm," the Heavenly Gods whose consciousness had been sinking also woke up one by one.

"What happened to me?"

"Did Lan Mu die?"

"We seemed to have fallen into an illusion just now; was it a soul killing move? That illusion was too realistic, everything was exact, which instead blinded my memory, making my real memories blurry and causing me to treat real experiences as a dream?" These Heavenly Gods woke up and also quickly realized everything they had experienced.

And when they sensed that over three hundred Heavenly Gods had fallen... it made their hearts tremble and shocked them even more.

The look in their eyes when they looked at Li Yuan was not just fear, but endless terror.
