Chapter 622: Second-Tier Supreme Learning

Li Yuan, holding the Silver Moon Divine Spear, thrust the spear out the next moment. A terrifying killing intent erupted from his body. Such terrifying killing intent was absolutely enough to make any top Divine Monarch change color, and even cause their spirit to be dazed, making their strength unable to be fully exerted.

Where the spear tip reached.

Space seemed to stagnate.

The mystery of this spear was no longer about traveling through space, but faintly transcending space.

Faintly transcending above the normal heaven and earth.

At this moment, Li Yuan's consciousness was completely immersed in the beauty of this move, silently savoring it... When executing this move, he seemed to have transformed into an ancient ferocious beast, his heart spirit becoming extremely pure, with only endless killing intent remaining in his heart.

Void world power, divine power... naturally combined and erupted, causing the power of this spear to reach an unfathomable level.

This was the seventh style of the "Heart Illusion Divine Canon"—Killing Intent!

This move was also the strongest style of the "Heart Illusion Divine Canon" at the Heavenly God stage, a true God King-level move.

The sixth style, 'Heart's Direction', represented the initial combination of void world power and matter, i. e., the combination of soul and matter... but this was only the entry level.

The seventh style was essentially an extension of the sixth style, representing a further combination of soul and matter.

The seventh style, 'Killing Intent', in addition to the laws and mysteries it contained, was essentially the pursuit of an extreme 'heart spirit state'.

In this state, every move and every style of Li Yuan was dominated by endless killing intent, requiring an extremely powerful will to pierce through everything, making the heart spirit extremely pure, and the power of the move would naturally skyrocket to a terrifying level.

"Killing intent? In this state, my strength is indeed terrifying." Li Yuan closed his eyes gently.

The accumulation of nearly two hundred years before the Ten Thousand Saint Stone Wall.

First comprehending 'Void and Reality of Space', and in the last sixty years, Li Yuan's comprehension of 'Space Cutting' became deeper, and he constantly polished his heart spirit will, although he still hadn't crossed into the God King-level will, it had improved significantly... Combining many aspects, it was no surprise that Li Yuan finally comprehended the seventh style of the "Heart Illusion Divine Canon".

"Little guy."

"Your talent and comprehension are indeed extraordinary." Grave Elder's voice sounded abruptly: "Cultivating for less than a thousand years, you have actually been able to comprehend a true God King move. This move is considered quite good even among space God Kings, barely qualifying as a second-tier supreme learning."

"Quite good even among space God Kings?" Li Yuan was stunned.

"The God King realm can be divided into two major levels, called Space God Kings and Dao-Opening God Kings." Grave Elder laughed: "Space God Kings refer to those who have only comprehended the complete laws of space... Dao-Opening God Kings are also very easy to understand, meaning God Kings who have truly opened their own Dao."

"Can't all God Kings open their own Dao?" Li Yuan was puzzled.

In his understanding, God Kings seemed to be able to open their own Dao... like the God King statues left at the Chaos Divine Court headquarters, all of them had opened paths.

"Naturally not."

"You feel they all can because the Heart Dream Universe and the vast regions around it all follow the 'Star God Cultivation System'. This system has extremely high requirements for Dao comprehension, requiring one to first comprehend the laws of space before being able to break through to the God King realm."

"Therefore, all who become God Kings are astonishing in comprehension and can be called heroes. Ninety-nine percent of God Kings, as long as they spend a certain amount of time, can ultimately Open the Dao." Grave Elder said: "But the universe is vast. Like the 'Star Beast Emperors' of the Eighth Rank born in the dark zones, they have experienced too little polishing, and Opening the Dao is much more difficult for them than for God Kings. Ten Star Beast Emperors would find it hard to have one Open the Dao."

"There are also some cultivation systems, such as the 'Reincarnation River Cultivation System', the 'Heavenly Witch Cultivation System', the 'Immortal Soul Cultivation System', and the 'Life Puppets' refined by God Emperors, etc... their difficulty in reaching the Eighth Rank is much lower, and they don't need to comprehend the laws of space at all, but the vast majority stop at the initial Eighth Rank level."

Li Yuan was shocked.

When he communicated with Master God Emperor Master Juexing back then, Li Yuan had initially learned of the vastness of the universe and knew there were other cultivation systems... but he hadn't expected the difference to be so large.

"Opening the Dao for Eighth Rank powerhouses? It's not that easy."

"Even if they are lucky enough to Open the Dao, the vast majority only open very ordinary Daos, and the hope of becoming a Ninth Rank Emperor realm is very slim." Grave Elder sighed with emotion: "And like the Star God Cultivation System, although the requirements for breaking through are extremely harsh, making the number of God Kings born extremely small... but every God King has very strong strength, and some top-tier ones can completely defeat a hundred with one, and the probability of giving birth to God Emperors is even higher."

Li Yuan listened.

The probability of giving birth to God Emperors is higher? This was only relative. Like the Chaos Divine Court, which had given birth to thousands of God Kings in history, only one had ultimately become a God Emperor.

"Grave Elder, what do you mean by second-tier supreme learning just now?" Li Yuan couldn't help but ask.

Was this a division of strength among God Kings?

"Space God Kings, although they have all comprehended the complete laws of space, the laws are only the foundation of comprehension... how much power they can exert depends on application. The power of the supreme learning moves executed by Space God Kings is heaven and earth apart." Grave Elder laughed: "Therefore, in the vast universe, the mysteries of the moves of Space God Kings are roughly divided into first-tier supreme learning, second-tier supreme learning, and third-tier supreme learning."

"Like the top Divine Monarchs on the North Star now, the God King moves they comprehend are basically 'first-tier supreme learning'."

Li Yuan suddenly understood.

He thought of before, when he executed the 'sixth style, Heart's Direction', the power was extraordinary. In terms of pure mystery, it was already close to the God King-level moves of many top Divine Monarchs.

Looking at it now, the sixth style of the "Heart Illusion Divine Canon" seemed to be a Heavenly God move, but as a material-soul fusion supreme learning, it was actually close to the 'first-tier supreme learning' created by Space God Kings.

"Second-tier supreme learning is a relatively common level of moves for Space God Kings. Generally, only God Kings can comprehend and create them. It is extremely difficult for Heavenly Gods to comprehend such moves." Grave Elder said: "Your spear technique has now approached this level."

Li Yuan nodded slightly.

This move of his originated from the "Heart Illusion Divine Canon" and already contained a sliver of the Heart Illusion Dao's mystery... The Heart Illusion Dao was recognized as the strongest path opened by a God King in the Heart Dream Universe to date.

It was not surprising that the seventh style, 'Killing Intent', was so powerful.

"And like third-tier supreme learning, if a Space God King can create it, it generally represents that they have already explored the prototype of a path, and they are very close to Opening the Dao." Grave Elder sighed with emotion: "In very ancient times, Space God Kings... were not considered Quasi-Saints."

"Only Eighth Rank existences who have Opened the Dao can be respectfully called Quasi-Saints."

"This is also the reason why it is difficult for Heavenly Gods in the Star God Cultivation System to truly rival God Kings." Grave Elder laughed: "After all, almost all God Kings have Opened the Dao... In fact, if invincible Heavenly Gods encounter Eighth Rank powerhouses of other cultivation systems, they have the power to fight."

Li Yuan sighed inwardly. The difference between Eighth Rank powerhouses was also very large... thinking carefully, the strength of Dao-Opening God Kings was likely far beyond that of Space God Kings.

"Kid."

"Work hard!"

"You still have five years... I can perceive that this move of yours should be a path of soul-matter fusion, which is very extraordinary." Grave Elder said: "Being able to comprehend it proves that you are also extremely strong on the soul path."

"Perhaps, you can really survive the Reincarnation Tribulation."

"Thank you for the reminder, Grave Elder." Li Yuan said respectfully.

"Hmm."

"However, I still have to advise you, if you are really a True God... becoming a Heavenly God as soon as possible is the right path." Grave Elder's voice disappeared.

Li Yuan sighed inwardly.

Become a Heavenly God? Although his strength had improved greatly over these years, if he were to face Divine Monarch Fei Qian Yu of this level again, relying on the newly comprehended 'seventh style, Killing Intent', even if he still couldn't win, he could at least easily block the other party... but ascend Purple Mountain? It was still difficult to do.

"Will!"

"Reasonably, my comprehension of the laws of space is already very high, and over these years of polishing myself, my heart spirit has been constantly transforming. Now that I have comprehended the seventh style... what else do I need to do?" Li Yuan frowned slightly.

He felt a bottleneck.

It was as if, no matter how hard he tried, it was difficult to overcome.

It was like building a house. If the foundation was only a few dozen square meters, even if the foundation was solid, it would be difficult to build a skyscraper... The foundation must not only be solid but also large enough to carry it.

Li Yuan's divine body, relative to God Kings, was still somewhat weak.

Trapped in a bottleneck, Li Yuan still had no slackening. Both his source body and true self were constantly cultivating diligently.

Only one year later.

"The first Five-World Void Stone has been born?" Li Yuan's source body opened his eyes.

He received news from Winter Mang God King, the content was very simple: 'The first Five-World Void Stone has been born and was ultimately seized by Divine Monarch Mo Hu of the Starry Sky Divine Court.'

The North Star had been open for nearly two hundred years, and it was not surprising that a Five-World Void Stone had been born.

According to the records of the Chaos Divine Court, starting from a hundred years, the Five-World Void Stones would be born one after another. This time was already considered late.

But the acquirer made Li Yuan feel surprised.

"Divine Monarch Mo Hu, is it her? Being able to cultivate to become a Divine Monarch with an Eight Star Pulse indeed has its merits." Li Yuan sighed inwardly.

Among the hundreds of Divine Monarchs in the Heart Dream Universe, the vast majority were Nine Star Pulse Heavenly Gods... After all, the divine body and star techniques were more powerful, and the inner heaven and earth were perfect, giving Nine Star Pulse Heavenly Gods a huge advantage.

However, this did not mean that there were no high-comprehension individuals among the massive number of Eight Star Pulse Heavenly Gods.

Looking at the Divine Realm, there were nearly ten people who had obtained the title of Divine Monarch with an Eight Star Pulse body in the current generation.

Divine Monarch Mo Hu was one of the outstanding ones.

In terms of strength, she was a notch weaker than top Divine Monarchs, but her law realm was extremely brilliant, and she had comprehended many God King-level moves. Her realm was likely not inferior to Divine Monarch Brother Ming Fang, but her divine body and star techniques were too weak, so she was only ranked over one hundred on the Heavenly God Ranking.

"So, it was that nine treasures were born at once in the treasure space? Finally, there were nine candidates for the treasure, and Divine Monarch Mo Hu was lucky enough to get the Five-World Void Stone?" Li Yuan also learned the detailed intelligence of this battle.

Divine Monarch Brother Ming Fang also participated in this battle and easily became one of the final nine treasure candidates... it was just a pity that he missed the Five-World Void Stone.

"Luck is sometimes indeed more important than strength." Li Yuan sighed inwardly: "This Divine Monarch Mo Hu, her realm was already high, her accumulation was so deep, and now she has obtained the Five-World Void Stone, perhaps she can really become a God King in one fell swoop."

Eight Star Pulse Heavenly Gods, as long as they comprehend the laws of space, can also become God Kings.

Under normal circumstances, a few God Kings would be born among the hundreds of Divine Monarchs in an era of the Divine Realm, and in an era when the North Star is open, with luck intertwined and powerhouses colliding and fighting, the number of God Kings born will be even greater.

"But this Divine Monarch Fei Qian Yu is killing more." Li Yuan's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness.

Over these two hundred years, more than ten Divine Monarchs have fallen at his hands, which can be said to have caused dissatisfaction among many major forces... but his strength is indeed terrifying.

Ten Star Pulse Heavenly God, indeed worthy of the name "Invincible Heavenly God".

... The disturbances in the outside world only caused Li Yuan to pay a little attention.

"Hmm? The laws of wind have also been comprehended and broken through unknowingly?" Li Yuan was not surprised.

After all, he was originally very close to comprehending the laws of wind, and after cultivating diligently for several hundred years... it was normal to break through the last sliver of bottleneck along with the constant breakthroughs in the laws of space.

Comprehending the laws of wind no longer had much impact on Li Yuan now.

In the blink of an eye, the 200-year period expired.

Suddenly.

"Little guy, two hundred years are up." Grave Elder's voice sounded abruptly, startling Li Yuan from his cultivation.

"Grave Elder." Li Yuan stood up.

"You haven't Opened the Dao, so you must now break through the Reincarnation Tribulation." Grave Elder said in a low voice: "Reincarnation Tribulation... if you are not reborn in reincarnation, you will be extinguished in reincarnation. I hope you are prepared."

Li Yuan nodded slightly, his eyes filled with unprecedented determination.

These two hundred years, although his will had not yet broken through, his overall strength had improved by a large notch. Even compared to Ten Star Pulse Heavenly Gods, the gap was already very small.

Survive the Reincarnation Tribulation?

"Perhaps it is very difficult, but since it is just a trial aimed at Ten Star Pulse Heavenly Gods, then for me, it is definitely not without a chance of survival." Li Yuan muttered in his heart.

Li Yuan sat cross-legged, and as time passed, his heart became increasingly empty.

A quarter of an hour later.

Silently~ Hum! The scene around Li Yuan disappeared abruptly.

The Ten Thousand Saint Stone Wall disappeared, the towering palace disappeared... He was already placed in a dim void, with no boundaries detectable in any direction.

"Where is this?" Li Yuan was vigilant in his heart. Where had he arrived?

The next instant.

At the same time, an invisible fluctuation attacked, completely enveloping Li Yuan's soul and divine body.

"Illusion?" Li Yuan's attainments on the soul path were what they were, and he realized the situation instantly.

This illusion was extremely real and mysterious. If it were any other Divine Monarch, they would likely sink directly.

It was just that, after two hundred years of hard cultivation, Li Yuan's soul will had improved, especially his will, which was only a sliver away from crossing into the God King realm... and his comprehension of the laws of space was already extremely high.

These illusions seemed powerful, but they couldn't bewitch him at all.

"Break!" Li Yuan easily broke through this layer of illusion.

"Could it be that the Reincarnation Tribulation is just an illusion?" Li Yuan wondered secretly. Layer after layer of illusions continued to attack, all of which were easily broken by him.

But as time passed, these illusions became increasingly real and detailed.

Beauties from ten thousand races! Rare treasures from the heavens! The temptation of Great Dao cultivation! And the fear of threats from demons...

"Life and death, fear..." Li Yuan cultivated the "Heart Illusion Six Realms" and had long since seen through these, still able to break through easily.

His will was so powerful that it was almost unshakeable.

However!

This layer after layer of illusion attacks was endless, attacking from every dimension. Many illusions were no longer simply bewitching Li Yuan, but following Li Yuan's "heart".

To be a lifeform is to have desires.

Li Yuan's soul will was powerful, and although his research on the soul was deep, he also had desires... the desire for Great Dao cultivation was sometimes even more difficult to deal with than secular love.

Gradually, Li Yuan needed to spend more time to sort out his own heart spirit.

"These illusion attacks are already at the God King level. If it were in a life-and-death struggle, it would be enough to affect me, making it difficult for me to exert ten percent of my strength." Li Yuan sighed inwardly.

In the past, it was only him invading others with his soul; now, he finally tasted this feeling.

However, with Li Yuan going all out, he could still block it.

And the illusions became even more terrifying.

... "Illusion, actually can't affect him? He can maintain clarity throughout? This will is even more terrifying than two hundred years ago." Grave Elder was also observing in secret, sighing inwardly: "In terms of the strength of will, since the birth of the Heart Dream Universe, he is the strongest I have ever seen."

Perhaps, there were existences with stronger wills born in the Heart Dream Universe when they were Heavenly Gods, like the Heart Illusion God King, whose will must have been very terrifying at the Heavenly God stage.

But not all Heavenly Gods had the luck to come to the North Star, and not all Heavenly Gods dared to come here to accept the trial.

"Pity."

"Illusion is only the preliminary trial. If you can't even block the illusion, there's no need to activate the Reincarnation Stone." Grave Elder thought to himself: "Since that's the case, let's begin."

... In the darkness.

Another invisible fluctuation attacked.

"Hmm?" Li Yuan's consciousness sank instantly.

At this moment, it was not just his source body consciousness.

In the distant Chaos Divine Court, his true self's eyes also closed, and his consciousness sank directly as well.
