Chapter 618: Surviving (6k)
Liu Bing's crossing into the Heavenly God realm caused quite a stir.
Not only was it eye-catching on Fengyan Star, but this news was also rapidly transmitted to the intelligence departments of many major factions in the Divine Domain through many dark lines.
After all, looking at the Divine Domain, the number of nine-star pulse powerhouses born in each era is just that many, theoretically all have God King potential, naturally worth paying attention to.
"Heavenly Ice? Actually crossed into the Heavenly God realm so quickly? I remember she and God Monarch Xinyuan were quite close."
"Hmm, in rumors, she seems to be God Monarch Xinyuan's 'sworn sister'."
"I checked the intelligence, this Heavenly Ice True God has only been cultivating for a few hundred years, could it be another peerless monster?"
"She should be a Saint Blood Heavenly Snake, possessing top-tier divine beast bloodline, and receiving key cultivation, it is also normal to become a Heavenly God so quickly... later on, the cultivation speed will likely slow down." The intelligence departments of all major factions in the Divine Domain were exchanging and paying attention.
"In rumors, she is a disciple of God King Fengyan, and with such a foundation, it shouldn't be difficult for her to become a God Monarch in the future."
"I'm afraid it will take ten thousand years."
"Let's keep paying attention for now." The attention of all major factions was limited to this.
This little matter was not worth reporting to the God Kings.
Only one faction was an exception.
... Abyss Divine Court territory, Snow Night Star Domain, a place of extreme mystery, this is the forbidden land of the Snow Night Star Domain, even Heavenly Gods dare not come here easily.
"Heavenly God?"
"This Heavenly Ice, her cultivation speed is quite fast." God King Snow Night received the news transmitted by the Divine Court's intelligence department.
As the true mastermind behind the extinction of the Heavenly Snake Clan, he had been paying attention to Li Yuan and Liu Bing.
Especially Liu Bing, this was his target.
"According to my deduction, Heavenly Ice Heavenly God and Heavenly Green must have a relationship, but the other half of the token is not on her right now." God King Snow Night's body was like a vast continent of ice and snow.
Hanging in this starry sky.
Snow fell all year round.
"According to common sense, crossing into the Heavenly God realm, if God King Heavenly Green truly left anything behind, it should have been handed to her." God King Snow Night's eyes, which were much larger than stars, revealed coldness: "Before, Heavenly Ice was in the True God realm... in the Divine Domain, it was not easy for me to take action."
He had long sensed that behind Liu Bing, there seemed to be another terrifying existence paying attention.
"Now that she has crossed into the Heavenly God realm, she might leave the range of the Divine Domain and head to the dark zones to roam... by then, it will be my opportunity."
Within the range affected by the universe origin, time and space are relatively normal, and once a God King takes action, it is easy to be detected, leaving behind 'traces'.
But outside the range affected by the origin... everything is incomparably chaotic, even if a God Emperor came in person, it would be difficult to see through everything.
"Wait."
"At least, God Monarch Xinyuan is about to fall, this Heavenly Ice has lost a great backer, and the threat to me is much smaller." God King Snow Night pondered.
Li Yuan's rapid rise not only shocked countless Heavenly Gods in the Divine Domain, but also made the God Kings of all major factions look sideways and attach importance to him.
Otherwise, why would the two major Divine Courts join forces to want to eradicate him?
"Now, it depends on when this Heavenly Ice leaves the Divine Domain." God King Snow Night thought to himself.
On Fengyan Star, Liu Bing's breakthrough movement lasted for several days before completely dissipating.
At this time, the many Heavenly Gods on Fengyan Star had all rushed to Liu Bing's mansion to pay a visit.
"Congratulations, Heavenly Ice Heavenly God."
"Crossing into the Heavenly God realm, from now on, you have a lifespan of 300,000 years."
"With Heavenly Ice Heavenly God's talent, you will definitely be able to achieve God Monarch in the future, and even become a top-tier God Monarch." The many Heavenly Gods spoke one after another, all very polite, and even some weaker Heavenly Gods were a bit flattering.
No way.
Strength determines status.
With Liu Bing's strength, she possessed Heavenly God combat power before breaking through, and now that she had broken through, she was at least a second-tier or third-tier Heavenly God.
And in the foreseeable future, she would grow rapidly.
"Thank you all." Liu Bing didn't put on airs, it was just that there was not much joy on her face.
Suddenly.
"God Monarch Huoye is here."
"Pay respects to God Monarch." More than ten Heavenly Gods gave way, and a black-robed youth figure came to Liu Bing.
His appearance was extremely handsome, just that two purple curved horns grew on his forehead.
"God Monarch." Liu Bing bowed.
"Follow me." God Monarch Huoye smiled.
"Yes." Liu Bing nodded, her gaze sweeping over the other Heavenly Gods: "Everyone, I will go first."
Immediately, Liu Bing followed God Monarch Huoye and quickly entered the forbidden land deep inside Fengyan Star.
"God Monarch Huoye came, could it be a summons from the God King?"
"Definitely."
"God Monarch Huoye is a disciple of the God King... it seems the rumors are true, Heavenly Ice Heavenly God is indeed a disciple of the God King." The many Heavenly Gods exchanged views, and didn't disperse immediately.
In the forbidden land.
Liu Bing and God Monarch Huoye went deep one after another.
"Little Junior Sister, congratulations on breaking through to become a Heavenly God." God Monarch Huoye smiled: "In terms of cultivation speed, you are much faster than me."
"I just relied on bloodline advantage."
Liu Bing was very polite: "If I didn't have the bloodline advantage, if you gave me ten thousand years, I might not have become a Heavenly God."
"Bloodline is an advantage, but it is also a shackle, who among those who can become nine-star pulses relies purely on bloodline? Junior Sister, no need to be humble." God Monarch Huoye smiled.
Liu Bing nodded, not arguing anymore.
"Junior Sister."
"I once proposed that we become dao companions, at that time Junior Sister pushed it off with cultivation as an excuse." God Monarch Huoye smiled: "Now that Junior Sister has crossed into the Heavenly God realm, you no longer have lifespan worries, would you be willing to consider it again?"
Liu Bing frowned slightly, and said directly: "Senior Brother, Master's place of retreat has arrived."
After saying this.
Liu Bing's speed accelerated sharply, flashing into the palace not far away, leaving behind a stunned God Monarch Huoye.
"Didn't refuse?"
"That means there is hope?" God Monarch Huoye was secretly happy: "If I can become dao companions with Heavenly Ice Junior Sister... it will be of great benefit to consolidating my power and status under Master."
He had served by God King Fengyan's side for a long time, and knew very well how much God King Fengyan doted on Liu Bing.
... Inside the palace.
"Pay respects to Master." Liu Bing bowed respectfully, for God King Fengyan, she still respected her extremely highly.
The other party had indeed spent effort to point out and cultivate her.
Being able to cross into the Heavenly God realm so quickly was inseparable from God King Fengyan's efforts.
"Little Ice, crossing into the Heavenly God realm so quickly, even removing the influence of bloodline, among the many disciples under my sect, you can rank in the top three." God King Fengyan looked down at Liu Bing: "Next, what are your plans? Continue to cultivate in seclusion, or?"
"Disciple is prepared to return to the Divine Court headquarters first, then return to my hometown 'Mohe Star Domain'." Liu Bing said solemnly.
"Hmm."
"It seems you already know about your eldest brother 'God Monarch Xinyuan'." God King Fengyan sighed softly: "My condolences."
Li Yuan's matter had long spread, God King Fengyan naturally knew.
However, she didn't know that Li Yuan had cultivated the incarnation technique.
"Disciple believes in Big Brother, he will definitely be able to overcome the danger." Liu Bing said in a low voice.
She always refused to believe that Li Yuan would truly fall.
"Perhaps." God King Fengyan was noncommittal, changing the subject: "That Xinhuo Divine Country was just established not long ago, occupying a vast territory... when God Monarch Xinyuan was there, everything was worry-free, but now that he is not there, I'm afraid the Abyss Divine Court will carry out a counterattack, have you considered it?"
Liu Bing fell into silence.
She might be stubborn in her words, but in her heart, she also knew clearly... Master, who is a God King, is not optimistic about Li Yuan, and the possibility of Li Yuan returning alive is likely extremely low.
She must consider the entire Xinhuo Divine Country first.
Not to mention anything else, once God Monarch Molian returns from Beichen Star, he will likely rush back... the Abyss Divine Court might also send God Monarch powerhouses to support.
What about the Xinhuo Divine Country side?
Heavenly Gods seem many, but Heavenly God Daomo is in seclusion, and now there isn't even a fourth-tier Heavenly God.
Besides, once there is no relationship with Li Yuan as a foundation, Heavenly God Daomo might not necessarily be willing to come back.
"You also know."
"Before, your Senior Brother Huoye mentioned to me before, wanting to become dao companions with you." God King Fengyan looked down at Liu Bing: "Now that you have become a Heavenly God, you two are also suitable."
"If you become dao companions, you can inherit the position of Country Lord of the Xinhuo Divine Country."
"Your Senior Brother Huoye, just happens to be able to help you guard the Xinhuo Divine Country, what do you think?" God King Fengyan asked: "In the future, when you become a God Monarch, you two Senior and Junior siblings, can be considered a beautiful story."
"Master."
Liu Bing said decisively: "Right now, Big Brother is in danger, I am worried about this, and I have no intention of love... as for the position of Country Lord of the Xinhuo Divine Country, it will always be Big Brother's, even if Big Brother truly fell, it should be succeeded by my other elder 'True God Dongji', it's not my turn."
"As for the safety of the Xinhuo Divine Country, disciple will have her own ways." Liu Bing said in a low voice: "If Master has no other matters, disciple will take her leave first."
After saying this, Liu Bing prepared to stand up.
"You little girl, if you don't want to, you don't want to, why be so reactive?" God King Fengyan smiled helplessly, waving her hand.
An invisible force pressed down on Liu Bing, making it difficult for her to move.
"Your Senior Brother Huoye proposed it to me, I thought you two had already discussed it privately, since you don't want to, then forget it, Master won't force you." God King Fengyan smiled.
Liu Bing was stunned, instantly understanding that it was her own misunderstanding.
"Hope Master forgives me." Liu Bing said in a low voice.
"It is Master who blamed you wrongly, what crime do you have?" God King Fengyan waved her hand again, and a pair of divine claws emitting hazy brilliance fell slowly, coming to Liu Bing.
Immediately after, another set of battle armor engraved with complex secret patterns appeared, colorful and dazzling.
"I said before, when you become a Heavenly God, I will give you a congratulatory gift."
"This pair of divine claws, is a set of God King weapons refined by Master in her spare time, consider it a congratulatory gift for you, take it." God King Fengyan doted: "As for the other set of battle armor, it is also a God King-level battle armor... consider it Master's compensation for blaming you wrongly."
"Master, I?" Liu Bing was choked with emotions for a moment.
How could she not understand, this was Master finding a reason to bestow treasures upon her.
God Kings live for ten million years, while Heavenly Gods only live for several hundred thousand years... so, God Kings mostly accept many disciples.
Even if they are so-called personal disciples, unless they can become 'top-tier God Monarchs', they might not necessarily be valued.
Looking at the entire Chaos Divine Court, those who can be bestowed a God King weapon are already remarkable.
Being able to be bestowed two God King weapons? Very rare.
"Thank you, Master." Liu Bing said gratefully, she understood that she also needed these treasures.
Two God King weapons would greatly enhance her own strength.
"I have lived in seclusion for many years, right now, under my sect, there is only one God Monarch, your Senior Brother Huoye." God King Fengyan said: "Other God Monarchs... it is not convenient to dispatch them, the matter of the Xinhuo Divine Country, you have to solve it yourself." "Yes, this little matter, it won't trouble Master." Liu Bing said in a low voice.
Looking at the Chaos Divine Court, on average, a God King has three or four God Monarchs under their command all year round.
Plus some God Kings are lazy to cultivate disciples.
This leads to many God Kings having only one or two God Monarchs under their command, or even not a single God Monarch... having God Monarchs under their command, for God Kings, is still useful when dealing with some small matters.
On the other hand, like God King Dongmang, who is the leader of an Imperial Palace, has very many God Monarchs under his command.
... Whoosh!
Liu Bing flew out of God King Fengyan's place of retreat.
"Junior Sister, I..." God King Huoye had been waiting outside, seeing this, he quickly flew up.
"Senior Brother."
"No need to say anymore." Liu Bing said coldly: "I keep in mind the guidance and leading feelings Senior Brother had for me before, if Senior Brother has anything to ask me for help in the future, you can send me a message... but if you mention the matter of dao companions again, then we won't even have the friendship of fellow disciples."
!
Whoosh! Liu Bing soared into the sky, disappearing into the night sky.
Leaving behind a stunned God King Huoye.
"Looks like, there's really no chance." God King Huoye was quite helpless.
Only a few days later.
Liu Bing stepped onto the road back to the Chaos Divine Court, on the way, a flash of joy crossed her face, and a strand of heart power entered the Heart Dream Divine World.
Heart Dream Divine World, a chat room.
Liu Bing, in white clothes, with her dress fluttering, appeared out of thin air, and saw Li Yuan, who was calm, at a glance.
She flew directly to Li Yuan, quite nervous: "Big Brother, are you okay?"
"No problem."
"It seems, the news of me falling into the Earth Seam Abyss has completely spread." Li Yuan smiled.
"Hmm."
"When I was on Fengyan Star, even many ordinary Heavenly Gods already knew about this." Liu Bing nodded quickly: "No way, in the past hundred years, Big Brother, your fame in the Divine Domain has been too great, in terms of fame among Heavenly Gods, many low-key God Kings likely don't compare to you... ascending to the top five of the Heavenly God Ranking after cultivating for a few hundred years, this is something that has never happened in the history of the Divine Domain."
"My fame is one aspect." Li Yuan said indifferently: "In the dark, I'm afraid it's also the Abyss Divine Court and Ten Thousand Dao Divine Court pushing the waves, having paid such a great price, naturally they want to let the powerhouses of all factions know, to build their prestige."
"Big Brother, can you escape successfully?" Liu Bing asked quickly.
"Difficult." Li Yuan spat out one word.
Liu Bing, who had just relaxed a little, became nervous again.
"But no need to worry, I have no danger of losing my life." Li Yuan smiled, about the incarnation matter, it couldn't be leaked for the time being.
Liu Bing also relaxed in her heart.
"You crossing into the Heavenly God realm is a great happy event." Li Yuan smiled: "Actually didn't notify me, Big Brother."
This was also the reason Li Yuan took the initiative to find her.
"I knew Big Brother, your situation was critical, I didn't even dare to send a message to you, for fear of distracting you." Liu Bing explained quickly.
"Hmm."
"Although I have no danger of losing my life, I can't escape for a while." Li Yuan said: "The outside world doesn't know either."
"That Abyss Divine Court and Ten Thousand Dao Divine Court, I'm afraid they will be unfavorable to the Xinhuo Divine Country again."
"I am also pondering this matter." Liu Bing said.
"God King Dongmang has already promised to protect the Xinhuo Divine Country well." Li Yuan said: "After you return to the Mohe Star Domain, go find Fire Phoenix first, she will solve ordinary dangers... if Fire Phoenix can't solve it, then go seek an audience with God King Dongmang."
"Good." Liu Bing completely let go of her heart, she knew Li Yuan's special relationship with God King Dongmang.
"Additionally."
"Are you going to return to Juexing Continent?" Li Yuan asked, he knew Liu Bing was a disciple of God King Heavenly Green.
"Not in a hurry yet."
"Wait until I have cultivated all the many star techniques to the seventh-order limit." Liu Bing said.
"Fine." Li Yuan nodded.
Immediately.
Liu Bing received a reminder that she had received a transfer of '500 trillion Heart Dream Coins' from Li Yuan.
"This is? Big Brother?" Liu Bing was shocked.
This wealth, for her, was very astonishing, most God Monarchs likely couldn't take it out.
"Before, you were just a True God, couldn't let you develop a reliance." Li Yuan smiled: "Now that you have become a Heavenly God, you are enough to control this wealth... consider it a congratulatory gift from your Big Brother."
"What to do with them, you decide for yourself."
"When you become a God Monarch, Big Brother will prepare an extra gift for you." Li Yuan smiled.
"Thank you, Big Brother." Liu Bing said gratefully.
"Hmm." Li Yuan nodded, but he was secretly muttering in his heart: "Actually had to temporarily find Senior Brother Dongmang to borrow money."
That's right.
These 500 trillion Heart Dream Coins were borrowed by Li Yuan from God King Dongmang, temporarily from the Myriad Things Palace.
He would have to pay it back in the future.
However, with Li Yuan's current strength, he didn't care much about these Heart Dream Coins.
The outside world was noisy.
On Beichen Star, the Heavenly Gods of all major factions already knew that 'God Monarch Xinyuan had fallen into the Earth Seam Abyss', but none of them retreated, all continuing to fight for various treasures.
And in the deeper part of Beichen Star, deep in the Earth Seam Abyss, it was quite quiet.
"Little Ice actually crossed into the Heavenly God realm."
"Good thing." Li Yuan received this news and was also quite happy.
The greatest benefit of Liu Bing crossing into the Heavenly God realm was being able to travel smoothly between the Mohe Star Domain and the Beiqiu Mortal Domain.
As for the safety of the Xinhuo Divine Country itself, with God King Dongmang's promise, Li Yuan wasn't very worried.
"Humph."
"Abyss Divine Court? Ten Thousand Dao Divine Court? Clearly I haven't died yet, and you are spreading everywhere that I have fallen? Want me to die so much? If I truly died, wouldn't that let you have your wish?" Li Yuan's eyes were cold: "Just wait."
For a long time, Li Yuan hadn't been forced to this extent.
Although he had long planned to break into the Earth Seam Abyss, breaking in actively and being forced to break in were two different concepts.
"And the Ziwu Universe! God Monarch Fei Qian Yu!" Li Yuan recited names one by one in his heart.
They were all on his revenge list.
His speed was getting faster and faster.
His speed was getting faster and faster.
All around was pitch black, with Li Yuan's insight he couldn't peek into the distance, just occasionally a wisp of cyan thunder light would be born.
Once encountering cyan thunder light, Li Yuan would exert his secret techniques and manipulate his domain, striving to avoid it... according to intelligence, even a God Monarch powerhouse would be seriously injured or even fall if bombarded by the thunder light.
But occasionally, dozens of thunder lights would be born simultaneously... Li Yuan was falling under the force, and could only move himself slightly, then he would collide with them.
Once hit!
It would also cause damage to his divine body... being attacked once was nothing, what if it continued a thousand times, ten thousand times?
Time passed, and day after day went by.
In the blink of an eye, more than six months had passed... the major factions in the outside world had long determined that Li Yuan had completely fallen.
Only some who possessed Li Yuan's tokens and were extremely close to Li Yuan knew that Li Yuan hadn't fallen yet.
However, the Chaos Divine Court high-level officials issued an order to strictly seal this news.
Deep in Beichen Star.
A place of mystery, where the void is twisted, filled with countless flames and cold currents, heat and cold intersecting, making their power reach a terrifying level.
And in the flames and cold currents, wisps of pink mist flowed
A terrifying silver figure, ten thousand zhang tall, fell violently at a shocking speed, smashing onto the ground with a boom, causing the vast land at the very bottom to tremble violently, tearing out countless cracks like mountain gullies.
This silver figure was tattered, with terrifying cracks visible to the naked eye on many parts of his divine body, blood flowing... and there were also many flames and cold currents circling all over his body.
"Hahaha!"
"Haha!" A somewhat manic voice sounded, emitted by the towering silver-armored figure; this voice contained endless madness and joy.
It was Li Yuan.
"Divine power consumption is over ninety percent! The divine body and divine heart are damaged to the point of collapse, and even the divine heart inner armor is mostly damaged... Haha, but I finally survived," Li Yuan roared continuously, venting the anger and madness in his heart over the past half year.
"Alive."
"Four calamities, I survived," Li Yuan's eyes were filled with killing intent: "Abyss Divine Court, Myriad Dao Divine Court, Ziwu Universe Realm... wait for me to kill my way back! Wait for me to kill my way back."
Although the source body fell, it could be re-cultivated by the true self.
But with many treasures carried, Li Yuan naturally did not want to abandon them, and it involved what the God Emperor left behind... he naturally struggled crazily all the way.
The first and second calamities were fine; Li Yuan easily withstood them.
But starting from the third calamity, it became dangerous, and the fourth calamity, the 'Fire-Cold Desire Calamity', made Li Yuan tremble in his heart.
Flames and cold currents intertwined, their power incredible, as if they were specifically designed to erode the divine body and battle armor.
Fortunately, this was God King-level battle armor, which could withstand it, but Li Yuan's divine body could not quite withstand it.
And this was secondary; the most difficult part of the fourth calamity was the word 'Desire'!
Those seemingly inconspicuous pink mists were constantly stirring people's inner hearts, and layer after layer of illusions struck... even with Li Yuan's strong soul will, he resisted extremely difficultly.
The six-month journey was like a nightmare.
Now, the nightmare had just ended.
"No wonder!"
"No wonder in history, only two invincible Heavenly Gods successfully survived the four calamities and stepped onto the test site," Li Yuan also had a sense of pride in his heart: "Haha, today, I, a mere True God, actually succeeded in surviving."
For a long time, Li Yuan finally calmed down completely.
"Surviving the four calamities is just the first step," Li Yuan stepped on the ground, observing the surroundings vigilantly: "Whether it is the Divine Court intelligence or what Senior Brother Suihuan said, they only said that this is the test of God Emperor Beihe, but what kind of test is it? I know nothing."
Only one point!
Being able to make two invincible Heavenly Gods fail, it was absolutely extremely dangerous.
Suddenly.
"Little guy, keep walking forward," a low voice suddenly sounded in Li Yuan's mind: "Within a quarter of an hour, if you can't reach the 'Myriad Saint Stone Wall'."
"Then you die!"
