Chapter 611

"His move can be even stronger?" Li Yuan heard this and felt somewhat incredulous in his heart.

The sword strike the opponent had just deployed was absolutely beyond the scope of a top God Monarch, truly reaching the threshold of a God King.

Only someone like himself, whose material defense could be called the peak of Heavenly Gods, could easily withstand it, and that was only because the Silver Moon Divine Spear had offset a large amount of the impact first.

If he had hard-carried it directly with his divine body, the damage to Li Yuan's divine heart would have been even more severe.

If it were some top God Monarch with weak material defense, I am afraid they would be annihilated in just a few strikes.

The power of the opponent's move could actually be even stronger?

But Li Yuan had no time to think, as God Monarch Qian Yu's divine sword had already thrust out again.

"Puff!" "Puff!"

Eerie and unpredictable sword lights suddenly lit up; the sword was like light, passing like a shadow, simply immeasurable.

They struck at Li Yuan.

"Bad!"

"This sword technique?" Li Yuan's expression changed drastically, and he finally understood the profoundness of the opponent's sword technique.

Fast!

Too fast!

At this moment, the speed of God Monarch Qian Yu's divine sword was several times faster than his previous move, simply fast to an incredible degree.

Li Yuan's spear technique also changed accordingly, turning from the violent and fierce "Pierce Heaven Style" to something eerie and tricky.

The divine spear was like a spirit snake, accompanied by strands of starlight blessing, its speed also soaring, desperately trying to block those strands of sword light.

It was precisely the fourth style of the "Heart Illusion Divine Canon"—the Eerie Shadow Style.

This was the style best suited for dealing with group attacks, and it was also a defensive move. Li Yuan had always believed that after he comprehended the "Space of the World," relying on this move would be enough to withstand any siege by Heavenly Gods... but only now did Li Yuan understand that he was wrong.

Wrong to an outrageous degree!

"Bang!" "Bang!"

"Clang! Clang! Clang!" The divine sword and divine spear clashed like lightning in the void, with terrifying momentum.

Sword light danced!

It broke through the defense of the Silver Moon Divine Spear time and time again!

God Monarch Qian Yu's sword technique was too terrifying; combined with his God King weapon and super-strong divine power, the terrifying speed he erupted with was simply not something Li Yuan could withstand... He was crushed by Li Yuan almost the instant they engaged.

Whoosh!

A strand of sword light broke through Li Yuan's weapon defense, and the sharp sword blade grazed Li Yuan's chest.

Without the obstruction of the Silver Moon Divine Spear, all the power contained in God Monarch Qian Yu's sword strike impacted Li Yuan's body completely... The sword light passed through the battle armor, causing Li Yuan's divine body to tremble involuntarily, and a tiny crack appeared.

A terrifying attack that reached the God King threshold, even through God King battle armor, was enough to damage a divine artifact.

On Li Yuan's divine heart, dozens of cracks suddenly appeared... and his entire body was constantly blasted backward by the force.

"Escape!"

"Hurry and escape!" Li Yuan fled desperately, a trace of madness in his eyes: "If we keep battling like this, in at most a hundred strikes, my divine heart will collapse and I will perish."

Li Yuan was getting closer and closer to the teleportation array.

But God Monarch Qian Yu was faster.

Whoosh! Another strand of sword light bypassed the obstruction of the Silver Moon Divine Spear and struck Li Yuan's waist and abdomen, again causing a clear change in Li Yuan's aura.

"Haha, it really is effective," God Monarch Qian Yu smiled.

He, as a Ten-Star Pulse, was destined to be an existence capable of becoming a God King... He had already comprehended the four major directions of space and could control the complete Laws of Space at any time.

In terms of law comprehension, he was even slightly higher than God Monarch Ming Fang, God Monarch Candle Nether, and the others.

The reason he had comprehended fewer God King-level moves than God Monarch Ming Fang was purely because he had not practiced for long enough... After all, whether it was comprehending laws or researching ultimate moves and secret techniques, time was required.

But even so, he had already comprehended five major God King moves.

"Absolute Nether" was his strongest material attack move!

But the "Shadow Passing" he was deploying now was his fastest sword technique, pursuing extreme speed; in terms of power, it was actually significantly weaker than "Absolute Nether."

Facing different enemies, one must use different moves.

If he were facing God Monarch Ming Fang, with God Monarch Ming Fang's methods, even if God Monarch Qian Yu deployed "Shadow Passing," it would be perfectly blocked... so it would be better to deploy "Absolute Nether" instead.

But against Li Yuan?

"My feeling was correct. God Monarch Brother Brother Xinyuan, your law comprehension is actually not very high; I am afraid it does not even reach the peak of Heavenly Gods," God Monarch Qian Yu laughed via telepathy.

When God Monarch Qian Yu deployed "Absolute Nether," Li Yuan could still barely keep up with the speed of the opponent's sword technique, and the Silver Moon Divine Spear could block the opponent's divine sword time and time again.

But facing "Shadow Passing," Li Yuan's weakness of having an insufficiently high-level spear technique was exposed; even if Li Yuan exhausted his full strength, he could not defend perfectly.

He was broken through by God Monarch Qian Yu's spear technique defense time and time again, causing the divine sword to strike his divine body directly.

As a result, the damage to Li Yuan's divine body and divine heart naturally soared.

In the Heart Dream Divine Realm, within that special divine hall, the many God Monarchs of the Chaos Divine Court all held their breath and watched the light screen projection.

Everyone was shocked by the strength God Monarch Qian Yu had erupted with.

"Junior Brother."

"Do you have the confidence to hold out until the teleportation array?" God King Master Master Dongmang's voice suddenly rang out in the mind of Li Yuan's avatar.

"I do," Li Yuan responded.

"This God Monarch Qian Yu has a certain probability of specifically hunting you down through a causal secret treasure; of course, it cannot be fully confirmed yet," God King Master Master Dongmang replied via telepathy: "It is just that the probability of you encountering him is extremely, extremely low, yet you encountered him only a year or so after entering North Star, which is why I suspect this."

"Causal secret treasure? Doesn't North Star isolate causality?" Li Yuan was surprised.

"The rules of North Star are only formed by the array laid down by God Emperor Beihe, but even God Emperor Beihe has perished, not to mention that North Star's operation has encountered many problems... naturally, there are ways to circumvent it, though the price paid is extremely high," God King Master Master Dongmang said: "Therefore, even if you escape into the teleportation array and use it to flee, it is very dangerous."

"Unless... you flee North Star directly, and God King Black Stone is there to receive you outside, then you would naturally be absolutely safe," God King Master Master Dongmang replied via telepathy.

"Flee North Star directly?" A trace of unwillingness flashed in Li Yuan's eyes.

Although he had gained some harvest from this descent into North Star, it was far from reaching the expectations in his heart, and he naturally did not want to leave just like this.

"If you are unwilling to flee North Star, then gamble. Gamble that he has no causal connection with you," God King Master Master Dongmang replied via telepathy: "If you lose the gamble, this clone of yours will perish, and the treasures will be lost. How to choose, you decide for yourself."

"Gamble?"

"Then I will gamble," Li Yuan made the decision instantly. When adventuring outside, where is there no danger?

In any case, he was not carrying the Source Seed, so even if the clone died in battle, the loss was barely acceptable to him.

Moreover, there was a reason Li Yuan was willing to gamble: God Monarch Qian Yu had no past grudges with him, and they were not from the same universe, so logically, it was difficult to involve causal lines.

God King Master Master Dongmang nodded and said no more.

On the vast earth, two 100,000-zhang-tall towering figures were battling crazily.

To be precise, it was Li Yuan fleeing for his life.

God Monarch Qian Yu held the divine sword, incomparably fierce, and the divine sword changed between black and white, sometimes the sword light was like a dreamlike shadow, sometimes like black thunder... even if Li Yuan blocked desperately, he was still struck in the divine body time and time again.

Rumble~

The cracks in Li Yuan's divine body were intensifying, and a large amount of divine power was surging crazily from the divine heart world, attempting to repair them... but for the first time, the divine body's repair speed could not keep up with the damage speed.

Damage to the divine body was not just a matter of material defense falling again; it would also affect the divine body's operation, power eruption, and every other aspect, causing his own defensive ability to fall further.

The injury to the divine body was secondary.

The most critical thing was the damage to the divine heart... the number of cracks was increasing, and the divine heart, which had been round and flawless in the past, had become like a piece of porcelain covered in countless cracks and about to shatter in just a few seconds.

Li Yuan had already hard-taken 46 sword strikes!

This was simply a nightmare journey.

Swoosh!

Li Yuan finally rushed into the range of the teleportation array. While flying, he suddenly turned his head and glared fiercely at God Monarch Qian Yu.

The next instant.

Whoosh!

The vast teleportation array suddenly lit up, an invisible spatial fluctuation swept past, and Li Yuan disappeared without a trace.

Within the teleportation array, only God Monarch Qian Yu remained.

"This God Monarch Brother Brother Xinyuan."

"Even my material defense is probably only a notch stronger than his. A Nine-Star Pulse Heavenly God, actually able to cultivate to this level?" God Monarch Qian Yu's eyes were filled with killing intent: "I even deployed 'Shadow Passing,' yet after such a long time, I actually failed to kill him?"

The more this was the case, the heavier God Monarch Qian Yu's killing intent became.

Such a peerless genius, and he had only been cultivating for a few hundred years? He was destined to become a God King in the future... Having forged such a great enmity today, if he did not truly kill him, he would have no peace for the next ten million years.

"Thinking that by relying on the teleportation array, you can escape?"

"Naive!" God Monarch Qian Yu sneered.

Under normal circumstances, on North Star, after two powerhouses battled, if one fled for their life through a teleportation array, it would indeed be difficult for the other to track them... after all, there were a full 9,999 teleportation array numbers!!

However, God Monarch Qian Yu could sense Li Yuan's approximate position through causality.

"Teleportation array."

"So, my position is here; is this teleportation array number 612?" God Monarch Qian Yu was also seeing a teleportation array for the first time, and with a single thought, he understood all the wonders of the teleportation array.

He also understood his own position.

Combining this with all the map intelligence he had obtained regarding North Star, as well as Li Yuan's approximate causal position and causal distance, within one second, God Monarch Qian Yu had already reached a conclusion—Li Yuan's teleportation destination should be teleportation array number 8347.

"Fled far enough."

"Almost hid at the other end of North Star," God Monarch Qian Yu muttered to himself: "Unfortunately, I can also use the teleportation array."

Whoosh!

This teleportation array flashed with dazzling brilliance again, causing God Monarch Qian Yu to also disappear from where he stood.

At the other end of North Star.

Swoosh!

Li Yuan appeared out of thin air within a teleportation array. It was incomparably quiet here, and everything was silent.

"My divine body and divine heart are both damaged so severely?" Li Yuan sensed his own injuries and sighed secretly.

His divine body, whose sturdiness was comparable to a divine artifact, had already been damaged quite a bit, and his divine heart was even more severely damaged.

The more severely the divine body and divine heart were damaged, the slower they were to recover. If there were only one or two tiny injuries, they would recover in the blink of an eye... but with his current injuries? According to Li Yuan's estimation, even if he were a perfect Ten-Star Pulse, wanting to fully recover his divine heart would probably take several months.

This was also the reason why many powerhouses in the treasure space would leave when they saw the situation was not good, unwilling to battle crazily.

"Find a place to rest and recover well." Li Yuan had just had this thought flash through his mind.

Suddenly—

Li Yuan's expression changed, and his heart sank to the bottom.

Whoosh! He saw that within the teleportation array hall, 100,000 kilometers away, a gray-robed figure appeared out of thin air.

"God Monarch Brother Brother Xinyuan, long time no see!" God Monarch Qian Yu revealed a brilliant smile.
