Chapter 628: Darkness Domain! Bronze Coffin

Three billion years? Li Yuan held his breath.

The entire Heart Dream Universe has only been born for a little over two billion years... this is an incredibly long period of time.

Suddenly.

"Xiao Mu, listening to you, since the birth of the Heart Dream Universe, I am the first to pass the test?" Li Yuan realized and pointed to the little fat dog beside him: "But why did this... Wuliang say 'another one here to die' before?"

Listening to Wuliang's meaning, there should be more than just himself who reached the third level.

Theoretically, if one can pass the second level, breaking through the third level shouldn't be that difficult... of the three tests, the second level is actually the most difficult.

"The tests deep in Beichen Star are actually divided into two types." The gray-robed little fatty 'Xiao Mu' said directly: "The first type of test was left by Brother Beihe, and the difficulty is lower. As long as one passes the test, one can become Brother Beihe's direct disciple... and the gatekeeper at that time was also Wuliang, and many Heavenly Gods were directly swallowed by it."

Li Yuan suddenly realized and looked at the little fat dog again.

Looking cute now, but actually a terrifying creature!

"Supreme Beihe's direct disciple, why haven't I heard of it?" Li Yuan couldn't help but ask.

By rights, it should have spread long ago.

"The Honghe Universe was destroyed, and the Honghe Universe Alliance fell apart, but it didn't completely dissipate... after all, the Honghe Universe Alliance was once the strongest hegemon of the 'Eighth Darkness Domain', and there were many universes attached to the Honghe Universe Alliance." Xiao Mu said: "After the Honghe Universe welcomed the cycle, many powerhouses from those affiliated universes also came to break into Beichen Star, trying to obtain what Brother Beihe left behind."

"Many of the first-generation powerhouses of the Heart Dream Universe also came."

Li Yuan listened.

To this day, universes like the Salang Universe, Zhenji Universe, and Ziwu Universe are still eating the legacy of the 'Honghe Universe Alliance'... not to mention when the Honghe Universe was first destroyed.

"And the result?" Li Yuan was curious.

"The three direct disciple spots were obtained by three great powerhouses respectively." Xiao Mu said: "Two of them eventually became Divine Emperors, and the other died at the Divine King realm... since then, Beichen Star has been completely controlled by me, and I can focus on choosing my partner."

"Two became Divine Emperors?" Li Yuan was stunned.

This probability is truly high.

"Hmm, one is the 'Abyssal Divine Emperor' who established the Abyssal Divine Court, otherwise, why do you think he has so many 'Beichen Tokens' in his hands?" Xiao Mu shook his head.

Li Yuan was surprised in his heart.

It turns out that the Abyssal Divine Emperor is actually Supreme Beihe's direct disciple. This is definitely a great secret.

"The other Divine Emperor came from the 'Qing Tian Luo Universe Alliance' and is the 'Yunyue Divine Emperor' in the Qing Tian Luo Universe Alliance." Xiao Mu shook his head.

Qing Tian Luo Universe Alliance? Yunyue Divine Emperor? Li Yuan was very unfamiliar with them and silently noted them down.

"Speaking of which, it's also sigh-inducing. After Brother Beihe and Supreme Supreme Hong Ying died, the rise of the Immortal Court was within my expectations, but I didn't expect that it would be that guy 'Qing Tian Luo' who rose, and actually established a huge universe alliance force, contending with the Immortal Court." Xiao Mu sighed: "Became the new hegemon of the Eighth Darkness Domain."

"Immortal Court?" Li Yuan was stunned. When he descended to the Lingmu Universe in the past, the behind-the-scenes person was the Immortal Court.

The one who fought with Master Awakened Star Divine Emperor in the end also came from the Immortal Court.

"Xiao Mu."

"What is the 'Eighth Darkness Domain' you speak of?" Li Yuan asked with some hesitation: "And what is the Qing Tian Luo Universe Alliance?"

"That's true."

"You are only at the Heavenly God realm and have only cultivated for less than a thousand years. It's normal that you haven't left your home universe and don't know the vastness of the universe." Xiao Mu said: "Your strength has now reached the Eighth Rank level, so you are qualified to understand the truth of the universe... of course, you come from the Chaos Divine Court, and when you go back, you should be able to understand these secrets."

"Do you know... how big this vast universe is? How many universes are there?"

Li Yuan was stunned and shook his head.

He only knew the concept of the universe... but how vast the universe was, he truly didn't know.

"The universe is vast and boundless."

"Just the core territory of the Heart Dream Universe where a large number of 'Life Star Domains' were born is over ten billion light-years... if you add the vast time and space influenced by the universe origin, it is nearly a hundred billion light-years." Xiao Mu said: "Like Beichen Star, it belongs to the edge of the Heart Dream Universe."

Li Yuan nodded slightly.

The universe is divided into core areas and areas influenced by the origin.

Therefore, Divine Kings from other universes can reach Beichen Star, and their strength is not greatly affected... if it were the core area of a universe, even if Divine Kings from other universes could enter, their strength would be greatly suppressed.

"Different universes are separated by vast distances, and normal Heavenly Gods find it difficult to shuttle through them in their entire lives."

"Like the Heart Dream Universe, Zhenji Universe, Qing Tian Luo Universe, Ziwu Universe, etc... they are separated by vast distances, and only Eighth Rank powerhouses can cross them." Xiao Mu said solemnly: "Only with Eighth Rank strength and control of the complete Laws of Space does one have the minimum qualification to roam the dark areas of the universe."

"Only the Eighth Rank is qualified to be called a 'Universe Powerhouse'."

"Even so, the universes I mentioned just now, combined with more than three hundred universes around them... form a 'Darkness Domain', which is called the 'Eighth Darkness Domain' in the vast universe." Xiao Mu said.

"Eighth Darkness Domain? More than three hundred universes?" Li Yuan was shocked. The vastness of the universe indeed exceeded his understanding.

"Of course."

"Different universes are very different. Some weak universes may not have even produced a single Divine Emperor and are easily invaded, or even the entire universe falls into great extinction." Xiao Mu said: "Powerful universes, like the Heart Dream Universe, now have more than twenty Divine Emperors and are considered extremely strong. I estimate they can rank in the top ten in the current Eighth Darkness Domain, but unfortunately, they are divided into many forces."

"Some extremely powerful universes, like the former Honghe Universe, after billions of years of development, had hundreds of Divine Emperors coexisting, and even two Supreme Divine Emperors sitting in command. It was the undisputed 'largest force' in the Eighth Darkness Domain." Xiao Mu talked eloquently.

Hundreds of Divine Emperors coexisting?

Li Yuan was secretly shocked. The Chaos Divine Court had three Divine Emperors sitting in command, and it was already famous, with many rare treasures and a deep foundation... Li Yuan dared not imagine how strong a force with hundreds of Divine Emperors coexisting would be.

It's just a pity.

Such a powerful force ultimately perished in the flow of time.

"In the era of the Honghe Universe, the entire Eighth Darkness Domain almost surrendered." Xiao Mu sighed: "Even the 'Immortal Court' was only protecting itself... no one dared to defy the orders of the two Supremes."

Li Yuan was stunned and hesitated: "Xiao Mu, if other universes didn't obey the orders, could the Supremes still kill their way into the universe and completely kill the Divine Emperors inside?"

"Naturally not."

"Just like a Divine King who can use the power of their home star domain to fear no Divine Emperor." Xiao Mu's voice was childish: "Supreme Divine Emperors can indeed withstand the pressure of a foreign universe origin and descend... but facing a local Divine Emperor, they cannot win."

"However!"

"Who said that in war, there is only one way to win head-on?" Xiao Mu shook his head: "The Dao of a Supreme is already strong to an unimaginable level... they can completely push the rapid operation of a universe origin, accelerating the decline of a universe tenfold or even a hundredfold."

"A normal universe can generally exist for tens of billions of years."

"If a Supreme intervenes, perhaps it will welcome the cycle in a hundred million years... when the universe cycles, all life inside naturally perishes, and Divine Emperors can't escape either." Xiao Mu said: "The two Supremes have personally destroyed two universes, and only then did they forge their invincible reputation."

"And only then could all the universes surrender completely and be willing to become affiliated forces of the 'Honghe Universe Alliance'."

Li Yuan was dazed as he listened.

The power of a Supreme was a bit too exaggerated.

"Of course, this move is not invincible." Xiao Mu said: "First, it takes a long time, calculated in 'hundreds of millions of years'."

"Second, if there is an extremely powerful Divine Emperor guarding it, it can also be resisted... like the 'Immortal Court Universe' where the Immortal Court headquarters is located, there is an extremely powerful Emperor realm being, so it was blocked." Xiao Mu said.

"The Heart Dream Universe has multiplied to this day, and the Abyssal Divine Emperor, Chaos Divine Emperor, Heart Dream Divine Emperor... should all be able to do it."

Li Yuan suddenly realized.

So that's how it is.

"Xiao Mu, you just said that the 'Qing Tian Luo Universe Alliance' and the Immortal Court are the current hegemon forces of the Eighth Darkness Domain." Li Yuan was curious: "Could it be that they have also produced Supreme Divine Emperors?"

"Probably not." Xiao Mu shook his head: "Are Supremes so easy to be born? Looking at the vast universe, in the same era, there are very few who can be honored as Supremes."

"They are the true Emperors among Emperors! Truly one step away from eternity."

"Seventh Rank powerhouses can only survive and be carefree within their home universe... they cannot leave the core area of the universe too far and are easily lost."

"Eighth Rank powerhouses are qualified to leave the universe and roam everywhere in a darkness domain, known as 'Universe Powerhouses'. After cultivating the Avatar Technique, this realm is extremely difficult to perish in... but they still have the trouble of lifespan, at most ten million years."

"Ninth Rank, no matter which cultivation system, can be honored as 'Emperor Realm'. Reaching this level, the difference in cultivation systems is not big... they are true super powerhouses of the universe. Although they still only have 'ten million years of lifespan', they walk on the river of time, and the erosion of time on them is almost zero. Unless they encounter special circumstances, it is normal to be active in the universe for billions of years."

"And Supremes."

"Under normal circumstances, they are no longer troubled by time, and even if they appear in the world for a long time, they can still exist for a long time." Xiao Mu said in a low voice: "Except for the calamity of the universe cycle... there is almost nothing that can cause a Supreme to perish."

"Precisely because of this, even without going through 'Eternal Ruins', Supremes can easily reach other darkness domains, easily travel across the universe, and exhaust everything to search for eternal opportunities."

Li Yuan listened.

Listening to it now, although a Supreme Divine Emperor is also a 'Divine Emperor', they have far surpassed other Emperor realm powerhouses.

Even their lifespan has broken free from the shackles of 'ten million years', and they can be completely called 'half-step eternal'.

"I chose you."

"It is also because you have the potential to become a Supreme." Xiao Mu's eyes were faintly shining: "Perfect Ten-Star Pulse... and when you crossed into the Heavenly God realm, you directly evolved an 'Inner Universe', although it is only a prototype, it can be called incredible."

"In terms of foundation, even Brother Beihe was far inferior to you when he was a Heavenly God."

"Brother Beihe didn't have Divine King level will when he was in the True God realm, and he was only a normal 'Perfect Ten-Star Pulse' when he crossed into the Heavenly God realm." Xiao Mu sighed.

"Supreme Beihe was also a 'Perfect Ten-Star Pulse'?" Li Yuan was surprised.

Li Yuan knew how lucky and rare it was to achieve a 'Perfect Ten-Star Pulse'... how did Supreme Beihe do it?

"Naturally."

"One step fast, every step fast. The Star God cultivation system is known as the strongest cultivation system in the universe... but if you don't build the strongest foundation, it is too difficult to ascend to Supreme." Xiao Mu shook his head: "Of course, when I met Brother Beihe, he was already in the Divine King realm, so I don't know how he achieved the Perfect Ten-Star Pulse."

"Of course."

"Supremes don't necessarily require a 'Perfect Ten-Star Pulse'. Like Supreme Supreme Hong Ying, he was just a normal Ten-Star Pulse... I explored the universe with Brother, and met Supremes of other cultivation systems. Some Supremes had very shallow cultivation foundations in their early stages."

"It can only be said that the evolution of the universe has a glimmer of life."

"The stronger the foundation, the higher the probability of becoming a Divine Emperor or even a Supreme." Xiao Mu said.

Li Yuan nodded slightly, just like many Nine-Star Pulses stop at the Heavenly God realm... but there are also many Eight-Star Pulses that finally cross into the Divine King realm.

Foundation is only a part.

Although he has achieved a 'Cosmic Divine Body', he still cannot be slack in the future.

"Your foundation is perfect, and your comprehension and mindset are extremely high. Even without my help, the probability of becoming a Divine Emperor is extremely high. With my help, the hope of becoming a Supreme is very great." Xiao Mu said solemnly: "Only when you become a Supreme can you help me."

"Help?" Li Yuan was stunned.

Remembering what Xiao Mu said just now, he wanted to explore the truth... could it be that he wanted himself to help with this?

However, only a Supreme can help? What exactly is the truth?

"What do you want me to help with?" Li Yuan asked repeatedly, even Supreme Beihe couldn't do it.

Perhaps it involves some terrifying calamity, so Li Yuan was naturally cautious.

"It makes no sense for you to know now, it is actually harmful to you." Xiao Mu said: "When you have the strength comparable to a Divine Emperor and are qualified to open the 'coffin', you will naturally know."

"Coffin?" Li Yuan's heart became more and more confused.

"Look at the Ten Thousand Saints Stone Wall." Xiao Mu turned around and pointed to the 'Ten Thousand Saints Stone Wall' in the distance.

The next moment.

"Crack~" The Ten Thousand Saints Stone Wall actually split open from the middle, revealing a huge darkness... it was a dim starry sky.

In the starry sky, a bronze coffin with a strange style and peculiar appearance was floating... it floated there quietly, not knowing where it came from.

Around the coffin, there were huge chains connected to it, protruding from the dark void... the chains were covered in rust, not knowing how many ancient years they had experienced.

"Boom!" Li Yuan's heart trembled. When his gaze fell on the bronze coffin, he only felt a terrifying fluctuation sweeping over, and countless distracting thoughts arose in the depths of his soul.

Slaughter! Evil desire! Lust! Indifference!

Countless thoughts rose up.

Even with Li Yuan's powerful will, it was difficult to suppress, and his heart seemed to be swallowed by endless darkness... Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle~ On the surface of Li Yuan's divine body, countless 'black air currents' grew uncontrollably, and these air currents further began to erode his flesh and blood.

"Wake up!"

"Wake up!" With a childish shout, Li Yuan's faintly lost consciousness instantly recovered, only to find that the Ten Thousand Saints Stone Wall had returned to normal.

The bronze coffin he had just seen was like a dream.

Only the evil air currents flowing on his divine body were still reminding Li Yuan that everything just now was not a dream.

"Me? Suppress." Li Yuan's consciousness was clear, and with a thought, he immediately mobilized his powerful divine power to rapidly suppress and refine these strange air currents that had appeared out of thin air.

A long time later.

Everything returned to normal... but what shocked Li Yuan was that just suppressing and wearing down these dark air currents consumed more than 10% of his divine power reserve.

You must know, his divine power was far stronger than that of a Nine-Star Divine King body.

"Xiao Mu? What exactly is that bronze coffin?" Li Yuan looked at the calm Xiao Mu.

Too terrifying!

His strength was comparable to a Space Divine King... but even Divine Kings couldn't look directly at the coffin? Even the strongest Emperor Weapon couldn't do that.

"This is the truth I want to explore."

"Remember what I said? I am the Spirit of the Tomb." Xiao Mu turned to look at Li Yuan: "I came from that bronze coffin... but I can't remember many past events, only fragments of memory remain."

"Brother Beihe, when he was in the Divine King realm, his strength was comparable to the Emperor realm... he found the bronze coffin in an eternal ruin, and that's how I came to be."

"Later."

"Brother Beihe once opened the bronze coffin... and almost perished." Xiao Mu shook his head: "Until Brother Beihe completely passed away, he never found the truth I wanted."

"Your strength is still far behind."

"You can't even look directly at it, and you will be polluted by the bronze coffin... take it slow." Xiao Mu said in a low voice: "The bronze coffin is sealed in the Ten Thousand Saints Stone Wall. The Ten Thousand Saints Stone Wall is a very special treasure, and its aura will not leak out."

Li Yuan nodded, and many conjectures arose in his heart.

He didn't know either.

Which one was more terrifying, this bronze coffin or the Eternal Divine Palace? The Eternal Divine Palace also left a deep impression on Li Yuan.

He also roughly understood what 'Xiao Mu' wanted, which was to wait until he had Supreme strength to explore the truth of this 'bronze coffin'.

Actually.

After seeing the bronze coffin, even if Xiao Mu didn't say it, Li Yuan had endless curiosity in his heart.

"Xiao Mu."

"You just said that our vast area is called the Eighth Darkness Domain, which means there are other darkness domains?" Li Yuan asked suddenly.

"Hmm."

"Brother Beihe knew of a total of 'eighty-one darkness domains'."

"The distances between different universes are vast, called 'dark areas' by countless lifeforms, but in reality, there are still countless substances. Under the operation of the universe, various harsh dangerous places were born, and some special lifeforms were born."

"Like star beasts, they also belong to special lifeforms. Some extremely powerful special lifeforms are born as Eighth Rank or even Ninth Rank." Xiao Mu said.

"Born Emperor Realm?" Li Yuan's eyes widened.

It is difficult for a universe with countless lifeforms to produce an Emperor Realm being... but some lifeforms can be born as Emperor Realm beings?

"Hmm."

"The universe operates with endless mysteries. Some natural lifeforms are born as Dao-Opening beings. It is indeed hard for lifeforms within a universe to imagine, but it is true." Xiao Mu said: "Of course, natural Emperor Realm lifeforms are also extremely rare. Even Brother Beihe only encountered a few."

"This is the internal operation of the darkness domain."

"Between different darkness domains, it is absolute darkness, with no matter and no energy... even Divine Emperors, drifting in the endless darkness, would find it difficult to reach another darkness domain in hundreds of millions of years." Xiao Mu said: "Under normal circumstances, one must go through some eternal ruins for different darkness domains to communicate with each other."

"Some eternal ruins can connect many darkness domains at the same time, allowing powerhouses from many darkness domains to communicate with each other... which also brought about various slaughters and disputes."

"Brother Beihe once took me to visit sixty-three other darkness domains... of course, eighty-one darkness domains are not the limit of the universe."

"The universe is vast, and no one has explored its limits to this day, not even Supremes. Perhaps in the depths of the extremely distant darkness, there are other darkness domains... but in the known universe territory, there are a total of eighty-one darkness domains." Xiao Mu said solemnly: "Other darkness domains have all kinds of cultivation systems, many Divine Emperors, and there are Supremes."
