Chapter 626
"This? What is the master doing?" A look of horror appeared in the purple giant beast's eyes: "Splitting the divine body, splitting the divine heart? Doing it voluntarily, how dangerous is that?"
When a normal True God ascends to a Heavenly God, where would there be a splitting of the divine heart? Usually, they only imprint complete law marks onto the divine heart.
However, at such a critical moment of breakthrough, the purple giant beast dared not disturb him, but with its vision, it could not see through what Li Yuan was trying to do.
... Deep within the North Star.
"Li Yuan?" Old Man Mu had also been observing Li Yuan, and he was still wondering why Li Yuan hadn't broken through after sitting quietly for a year.
Suddenly, he saw Li Yuan's divine body explode, and his life aura was constantly transforming.
"Is this? Trying to break through to Heavenly God? But?" Old Man Mu was surprised and uncertain; he also couldn't see through it.
However.
Old Man Mu could confirm that although Li Yuan's divine body and divine heart were shattering at this moment, his life was not in danger, and his life aura was instead becoming unprecedentedly intense.
"Could it be that this is the breakthrough method for the Perfect Ten-Star Pulse?" Old Man Mu wondered to himself, guessing.
He did not disturb Li Yuan.
The Beihe Supreme set the rules... if Li Yuan really died because of the breakthrough, then even if Old Man Mu felt pity, he would never take the initiative to save him.
A breakthrough in a major realm is a fundamental breakthrough of life.
Therefore, whether it is Li Yuan's true body or his source body, they must break through at the same time... there is no situation where one body breaks through to Heavenly God while the other remains in the True God realm.
At this moment, although Li Yuan's true body and source body were far apart.
The breakthrough movements were exactly the same.
Especially after realizing the Heart of Eternity and ascending the purple mountain, Li Yuan had already thought very clearly about his path ahead.
"12,960!"
"This is the minimum requirement for a life star when a star pulse operates... In the vast universe, according to the Heart-Dream God Emperor's research, the largest and most perfect Universe Realm born of heaven and earth only gives birth to 12,960 star regions." Many thoughts flashed through Li Yuan's mind: "Although there are only dozens of star regions within the Ancient Universe Realm, it actually has the potential to give birth to the largest Universe Realm... it's just that as a refined object, it cannot fully exert this potential."
Truly perceiving the origin of the Ancient Universe Realm, Li Yuan understood that the magic of this Imperial Weapon was simply unimaginable.
Perceiving it, studying it.
Coupled with his own insights, it indeed allowed Li Yuan to fully understand his path.
"My wish is to skip the internal heaven and earth at the Heavenly God realm and open up an 'Internal Universe Realm' in one go, and it must reach the 'Perfect Foundation'." Li Yuan's true body's divine body and divine heart seemed to be shattered, but they did not scatter; in reality, they were faintly forming a perfect framework in the void.
Just like a brilliant, eternal scroll.
Li Yuan's soul merged into his divine body, and at the same time attached itself to those pieces of his divine body and divine heart.
Splitting without being destroyed.
Forming a void of its own.
"Second step, condense the godhead." Li Yuan perceived every part of his divine body, and suddenly 12,960 divine heart fragments bloomed with dazzling light at the same time, as if they were burning to their heart's content.
"Rumble~"
The complete laws of Earth merged into each divine heart fragment, causing these fragments to constantly transform.
Godhead!
It must be condensed with complete law mysteries, promoted from the divine heart... but, to first split the divine heart into 12,960 parts, and then transform this massive amount of divine heart simultaneously? What kind of crazy move is this, equivalent to giving birth to 12,960 small godheads at the same time?
I'm afraid there has never been such a breakthrough throughout history.
Yet Li Yuan was doing exactly that.
"So strenuous." Li Yuan frowned, gritting his teeth to hold on.
Fortunately, his will was extremely powerful, powerful enough to rival a God King... only then could he maintain the transformation of so many divine heart fragments simultaneously.
If it were any other True God, even those 'Ten-Star Pulse True Gods' in history, I'm afraid they would have fallen directly at the first step.
"No wonder the Heart-Dream God Emperor required one to possess God King-level will to succeed." A thought flashed through Li Yuan's mind: "Without such a strong will, there would be no hope of reaching this step."
Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, three days had gone by.
Rumble~
As each divine heart fragment was imprinted with complete law marks and completely transformed into a godhead... the power of these godheads seemed to be much weaker than normal Heavenly God godheads.
But!!
There were simply too many of them, a full 12,960... gathered together, the terrifying aura they emitted far surpassed that of a top-tier Heavenly God.
"It's time for the next step." Li Yuan's heart moved: "Condense! Reorganize! Godhead framework."
Swish swish swish~
I saw that the original split divine body and godheads simultaneously emitted rays of light, connecting with each other, and quickly showed signs of reorganization, while Li Yuan's life aura was also constantly skyrocketing.
Each newly born 'micro-godhead' merged into one of the divine body fragments, immediately giving these fragments a 'spirit', full of spirituality.
Divine godheads and divine body fragments fused.
Causing the aura emitted by Li Yuan's whole body to constantly skyrocket.
"Absorb." Li Yuan frantically devoured the heaven and earth source power from the outside world, and at the same time took out the 'massive amount of divine crystals' he had prepared long ago, causing these divine body fragments to begin their transformation.
From the previous True God level, they were rapidly transforming toward the Heavenly God level.
Not long after.
Li Yuan's divine body was completely reorganized, composed of 12,960 parts; even though most of his True God divine power had not yet been converted into Heavenly God divine power, his terrifying aura had already far surpassed that of a top-tier Heavenly God.
"Convert!"
"The power of divine energy is a hundred times greater than before." Li Yuan felt the newborn divine energy flowing within his body.
Vast and endless!
In terms of pure divine power, I'm afraid it already rivals many powerful God Kings... Looking at the entire Heart-Dream Universe Realm, among the hundreds of contemporary God Kings, over ninety percent are 'Nine-Star Pulse'.
It can be said.
Once the divine power is completely transformed, Li Yuan's divine body will truly be able to rival a God King.
Of course, it is only the divine body that is equivalent... the most powerful thing about God Kings is their 'Dao'; those Path-Opening God Kings have strength far beyond what Li Yuan can imagine.
"The divine heart turns into a godhead, the divine body and divine power are promoted... there is only one last step left before becoming a true Heavenly God." Li Yuan muttered to himself, a trace of determination in his eyes.
Opening heaven and earth within.
"Boom..."
Whether it was his true body or his source body, his body trembled violently, and his aura changed drastically... within his body, in those micro-godheads, the past 'divine heart worlds' had completely collapsed, turning into countless energy sources surging wildly.
A piece of chaos.
Inside every godhead was a piece of chaos...
"Open!" A cold and seemingly supreme voice sounded within the pieces of chaos.
Swish!
A dazzling light streaked across, as if opening heaven and earth... countless energies intertwined within each godhead, rapidly gathering to form planets, while constantly expanding outward.
This is a real starry sky.
Such expansion requires massive amounts of energy... although heaven and earth provide assistance during a major life breakthrough, the energy supply always has an upper limit; it is impossible to provide unlimited supply for a single lifeform.
"One person becomes all star regions."
"This is the Heart-Dream God Emperor's concept... opening heaven and earth within, no matter how strong the foundation is, it is always just one piece of heaven and earth." Li Yuan's consciousness controlled everything: "Only by opening 12,960 pieces of heaven and earth at the same time."
One piece of heaven and earth is one starry sky.
"Boom!"
Whether it was Li Yuan's true body or his source body, a channel was born out of thin air in different micro-godheads, and this channel came from the 'Ancient Universe Realm'... as an Imperial Weapon-level 'micro-Universe Realm'.
One of its powers is to ignore void barriers and supply energy directly.
Rumble~ In an instant, all the godheads inside Li Yuan's two divine bodies boiled, continuing to expand frantically.
Absorbing energy, constantly expanding... pieces of real starry sky were constantly being born and growing.
"Why did the Heart-Dream God Emperor insist on recognizing the 'Ancient Universe Realm' as master?"
"For one, only a strong will can maintain the transformation of 12,960 micro-divine hearts simultaneously... for another, only by obtaining the help of the Ancient Universe Realm can one maintain the simultaneous opening of 12,960 pieces of heaven and earth."
Crossing from True God to Heavenly God and opening heaven and earth within takes a very long time.
Even with the gifts of heaven and earth.
Even with the help of the Ancient Universe Realm, it still took Li Yuan more than ten days to complete the opening of heaven and earth within all the godheads of his two divine bodies.
Inside each godhead, there were many planets born, but they were still extremely desolate... if he wanted them to give birth to life naturally, it would be extremely difficult, requiring Li Yuan to go and point them out one by one.
The requirements for law comprehension are extremely high.
But there are other shortcuts, which is to directly move life from the outside world into these starry skies... but Li Yuan didn't have this idea for the time being.
After all, although a Heavenly God's 'internal heaven and earth' can support life, the world is not stable and has many defects.
Many Heavenly Gods often conduct many experiments within their own internal heaven and earth, which is very dangerous.
Generally speaking, only the 'internal heaven and earth' of God Kings is perfect enough to support billions of lives.
... Everything seemed to quiet down.
"The aura of these godheads of mine is relatively weak... after all, they are only evolved from about one ten-thousandth of the 'Ten-Star Pulse Divine Heart'." Li Yuan's will was already very exhausted.
But his eyes were very bright, full of anticipation.
"Each godhead is not as good as a real Heavenly God godhead, but they are all seeds of the future... the last step."
"Body as the universe."
"Ten thousand gods into one!" Li Yuan's heart moved, and his powerful soul will manipulated all the godheads... just like the source power that once operated the Zhou Tian.
At this moment, his powerful will penetrated every godhead, and his majestic divine power operated within his body, forcibly connecting every godhead starry sky... strange streams of light appeared within the different godhead starry skies.
These streams of light were channels.
The moment all the godheads were completely penetrated...
Bang! Li Yuan's divine body shook again.
"Swish swish swish~" In the center of his divine body, a large amount of divine power condensed again, finally forming a very special godhead.
This godhead was connected to all the micro-godheads... but heaven and earth had not been opened inside it.
"Central godhead, like the source of heaven and earth."
"Also like the core of the divine body."
"Surpassing the other 12,960 micro-godheads." Li Yuan smiled, sensing his body: "Commanding all the micro-godheads."
The concept of this central godhead.
Was formed by Li Yuan actively condensing it during the breakthrough process, combining his own insights with what the Heart-Dream God Emperor left behind and his contemplation of the Ancient Universe Realm framework.
When the central godhead was formed, it immediately formed an extremely profound connection with the other 12,960 micro-godheads.
Li Yuan also felt that his originally powerful divine body had become even more stable.
Truly having a sense of perfection.
"The Ancient Universe Realm is missing a core."
"The Heart-Dream God Emperor was not a Perfect Ten-Star Pulse after all... his concept, although a step ahead of the Beihe Supreme, was ultimately a step behind my own." Li Yuan believed in his own judgment: "My divine body, in a sense, is no longer a 'Perfect Ten-Star Pulse Divine Body'."
"But should be called—Cosmic Divine Body!"
"The 'Cosmic Divine Body' cultivated by the Life God King no longer has much meaning for me."
Because, compared to the Perfect Ten-Star Pulse Divine Body, Li Yuan's divine body had gone a step further, truly reaching the realm of perfection.
Of course, Li Yuan had only taken the first step... to truly evolve the starry skies within each micro-godhead into something as vast as a star region, and to make his divine body truly like a perfect Universe Realm, Li Yuan still needed to become further powerful.
After becoming a God King or even a God Emperor, he would need to expand step by step.
"In terms of divine power, I am only a hundred times stronger than before... but in terms of divine power reserves, it is much more than in the past!" Li Yuan sighed inwardly: "My soul is also transforming rapidly, having already entered the God King level... and I'm afraid it will continue to grow at high speed for a period of time."
"My will will also become stronger under the nourishment of my divine body."
The Perfect Ten-Star Pulse is the limit for divine power, so Li Yuan couldn't be more powerful.
But whether it is divine power reserves or divine power recovery speed, Li Yuan estimated that he was likely more than ten times that of other 'Perfect Ten-Star Pulse Heavenly Gods'.
In a sense, as a Heavenly God, Li Yuan's divine body was more powerful and terrifying than most God Kings... approaching a 'Ten-Star Pulse God King Body'.
After all, not every 'Perfect Ten-Star Pulse' breaks through with God King-level will.
And not everyone has a 'Treasure of World Building' like the Ancient Universe Realm to learn from.
"Regardless."
"I have finally crossed into the Heavenly God realm." Li Yuan took a long breath, feeling heroic for a moment.
"Heavenly God."
"From today on, as long as my true body stays in the Imperial Palace, no one can kill me through karmic curses." Li Yuan thought to himself.
Even if a God Emperor made a move, it would be impossible to kill a God King through karma across a vast distance of time and space.
"Crossing into the Heavenly God realm is just the beginning."
"My strength will still usher in a period of high-speed growth."
"I can now cultivate the eight great perfect star arts to the highest 'Eighth Rank'." After the breakthrough, Li Yuan felt the shackles of the eight great perfect star arts disappear.
The star art star marks that were difficult to bear before now felt extremely easy.
Although perfect star arts have a theoretical 'Ninth Rank', almost no God Emperor would cultivate them to the ninth rank... after all, perfect star arts are all evolved from other eternal Daos.
Star arts are essentially a very powerful unique skill.
God Emperors, what kind of realm are they in? Most would create unique skills most suitable for themselves based on their own paths.
Perfect star arts have no meaning to God Emperors.
"Although my realm has improved a lot, let alone comparing with God Emperors, I am still far behind even the space God Kings... Creating my own unique skills? It's still a bit early for me." Li Yuan pondered.
"For now, cultivating the eight great perfect star arts to the eighth rank is enough to make my strength skyrocket by another large margin."
Whoosh!
Li Yuan's true body took a step and flew down to the purple mountain, arriving in front of the purple giant beast.
"Master." The purple giant beast said respectfully, full of anticipation.
"From now on, everything in the Ancient Universe Realm remains the same." Li Yuan said: "You will continue to guard this place."
The Ancient Universe Realm, besides having extraordinary effects on constructing internal heaven and earth... it itself also contains terrifying power.
But after a slight attempt, Li Yuan understood that he could only use a small portion of its power.
In terms of pure combat power, it wasn't much stronger than some other God King weapons.
There was no way, Li Yuan's realm was still too low, and he hadn't even fully comprehended the laws of space... rather than taking it away now.
It was better to leave it here first.
"Once I cultivate the 'Space Source Body' to the eighth rank, I will be able to cultivate a third true body." Li Yuan thought to himself: "At that time, I will let it guard the Ancient Universe Realm long-term."
"Yes, Master." The purple giant beast was very well-behaved, completely different from its attitude toward Li Yuan before.
"By the way, Holy Spirit." Li Yuan said: "Did the Heart-Dream God Emperor leave any instructions?"
"No."
"The old master only said that if one day, the master masters the 'Ancient Universe Realm', only then will he have truly reached his expectations, and when it is time to meet, we will naturally meet." The purple giant beast said respectfully.
Li Yuan nodded slightly.
In this very short time since the breakthrough.
Li Yuan's heart moved, and he had already investigated the entire Ancient Universe Realm, including the treasury and some treasure lands... there were many Heavenly God-level treasures, but there were few God King-level weapons, only a pitiful two.
And they were low-grade God King weapons... specifically left by the Heart-Dream God Emperor as a great opportunity for the 'Hundred Races of Life'.
Li Yuan naturally disdained to take them.
Or rather, with Li Yuan's current strength, low-grade God King weapons were already not enough.
After all, once Li Yuan cultivates the "Chaos Treasure Body" and "Law of Heaven and Earth" to the eighth rank, his own divine body will be like a terrifying God King weapon, with endless power... where would he need low-grade God King weapons?
"But in the treasury, there are quite a few rare treasures born from the Ancient Universe Realm over billions of years." Li Yuan nodded.
The Ancient Universe Realm, after all, has dozens of star regions, and the rare treasures born over endless years are very numerous.
Although most have been consumed by local lifeforms, and many rare treasures have rotted over the long years... there are still quite a few preserved and collected by the Holy Spirit.
Now, they all belong to Li Yuan.
"I am really poor right now."
"To cultivate star arts to the eighth rank, to exchange for more powerful weapons... well, I'll take them all first." Li Yuan muttered to himself.
He was not polite either.
With a wave of his hand, he had already emptied the rare treasures in the 'Treasury Space' located deep within the Supreme Hall.
After arranging everything in the Ancient Universe Realm.
Li Yuan's heart moved, and he had perfectly concealed his divine body aura.
It remained the same as before.
"Cosmic Divine Body, flawless and leakless; as long as I am willing, I can completely leak no life aura at all, and even some top-tier God Kings would find it difficult to detect my true life aura." Li Yuan was very satisfied.
The hundreds of years of effort and waiting to ascend the purple mountain were all worth it.
"Moreover, relying on my divine body, my ability to isolate my own karma in a single thought is probably not weaker than some God Kings." As time passed, Li Yuan felt more and more the power of this divine body.
He took a step.
Li Yuan instantly left the Ancient Universe Realm and returned directly to the Mohe Star Region.
Deep within the North Star, Li Yuan's source body, having finished the breakthrough, opened his eyes.
"Old Man Mu."
"The third test should begin." Li Yuan stood up, already holding the Silver Moon Divine Spear in his hand.
Calculating the time, the one-year deadline was very close.
"Li Yuan, are you sure?" Old Man Mu transmitted his voice.
"Sure." Li Yuan said loudly.
"Go, if you pass the third level, you will be able to come into contact with the true secrets of the North Star." Old Man Mu didn't say anything more, and he still didn't appear.
But in reality, he had observed Li Yuan's breakthrough scene the whole time.
Even though Li Yuan's source body had now concealed his divine body aura, Old Man Mu had clearly felt it just now, so he naturally knew how terrifying Li Yuan's divine body was... it was definitely far beyond a Ten-Star Pulse Heavenly God.
He naturally wouldn't stop him again.
"Swish~" The space vibrated slightly, and a space vortex appeared out of thin air within the palace, leading to an unfathomable place.
"Go!"
Li Yuan had crossed into the Heavenly God realm, and although he hadn't yet cultivated star arts to push his strength to the limit, he was still full of confidence.
Whoosh! He stepped into the space vortex.
When the surrounding scene condensed again, Li Yuan found that he was already on a starry island.
This island was very large, and the space was extremely stable.
"Another one here to die?" A low voice sounded.
