Chapter 645: End of the Heavenly River! Exposed

"'Eternal Heart Awl' is more suitable for me than 'Heart World'?" Li Yuan understood in his heart, and he didn't deny this point.

In terms of mobilizing the power of the soul void and applying the power of the void, 'Eternal Heart Awl' is indeed more brilliant.

After all, this was the strongest supreme technique created by a peak God Emperor who opened the 'Path of Heart-Artifact' to the fourth step. Naturally, it is not something God King Heart-World can compare to.

Although he had only contemplated 'Eternal Heart Awl' for a few decades, Li Yuan had gained the most from its mobilization and operation of the 'Void Power' within the Mental True World... Compared to it, Li Yuan's past soul attacks were indeed much rougher.

"However."

"Li Yuan, I believe you have also noticed the shortcomings of 'Eternal Heart Awl'." Xiao Mu continued to transmit.

"Hmm, the consumption of Void Power is huge." Li Yuan nodded.

Just this one attack, although the power was extremely strong, consumed nearly one-tenth of his Void Power. This is a very terrifying thing.

It must be known that like Li Yuan's past soul attacks, affecting hundreds or thousands of powerhouses, if the consumption of Void Power were so terrifying, how could he bear it?

Void Power is like divine power. After excessive consumption, recovery also requires a very long time.

"Hmm."

"The so-called Heart-Artifact, the most core point is to turn the 'Mental True World' into a 'Mental Small Universe', and at the same time make the Mental Small Universe like a weapon." Xiao Mu said: "In this way, every attack is an attack pushing the entire Mental Small Universe, with absolute power, but also huge consumption."

"However."

"This is also because you are only a Heavenly God. Once your Inner Universe evolves to the extreme and you become a God King, your God Body will be a hundred times stronger, and your Mental True World will transform again. Casting this move again will be much easier." Xiao Mu said.

Li Yuan nodded slightly.

This move belongs to 'Third-Rank supreme techniques'. If he had cast it when he first entered Beichen Star, I am afraid that after casting it once, his Void Power would have been exhausted.

"Mental Small Universe?" Li Yuan suddenly had a thought: "The Heart-Dream God Realm opened by the Heart-Dream God Emperor?"

"Correct!"

"In your Universe, the contemporary era has only seen the Heart-Dream God Emperor open a 'Mental Small Universe', which can also be called a 'Void Universe', containing unimaginable mysteries. Other God Emperors, even the Abyss God Emperor and the Chaos God Emperor, cannot do it." Xiao Mu sighed: "Of course, I haven't truly come into contact with the path opened by the Heart-Dream God Emperor, I just suspect it should be somewhat different from the core of the Path of Heart-Artifact."

Li Yuan listened quietly.

"The Path of Heart-Artifact also has two paths. One is like 'Eternal Heart Awl', where the universe is like an awl, like a sword, like a spear, one move breaking ten thousand laws, striving to break all illusions and pierce all souls." Xiao Mu said: "The other is to make the 'Universe like the sea', containing all souls, making all souls sink."

Li Yuan immediately understood. In essence, this is the path of direct soul destruction and material destruction after sinking into illusions.

Each has its pros and cons.

It is not a matter of who is right and who is wrong.

"I can see that you are a calm and decisive person in your bones." Xiao Mu said: "Including why your teacher bestowed this God King weapon spear upon you? The killing Dao mysteries contained within it are probably because your teacher has the same view as me."

"Killing! The most taboo is a variety of tricks."

"One-hit kill is the best."

"This is also the reason why I let you cultivate 'Eternal Heart Awl'. Otherwise, I would have let you cultivate 'Heart Universe Reincarnation', which is an Emperor-level supreme technique quite similar to 'Heart World', just more profound." Xiao Mu said.

Li Yuan realized, and his heart basically agreed with Xiao Mu's idea.

"Xiao Mu."

"Can I try to cultivate the 'Heart Universe Reincarnation' you just mentioned?" Li Yuan asked curiously via sound transmission.

"Greed leads to indigestion."

"Supreme techniques? I have plenty here, but let's talk about it after you open the Path of Heart-Artifact." Xiao Mu hummed: "You have only mastered the first move of 'Eternal Heart Awl', 'Heart Awl'. The second move, 'Void and Reality Intertwined', is the core. Only then can your Heart Awl power soar. Once you open a path in the future and master the second move, threatening the life of a Third-Step God King will not be an extravagance." Xiao Mu shook his head: "Now? This move of yours can only slightly threaten a First-Step path-opening God King."

Li Yuan grinned.

Being a Heavenly God and being able to threaten the life of a First-Step path-opening God King is already enough to be proud of.

Whoosh!

While communicating with Xiao Mu in his heart, Li Yuan's hands had never been idle. He was frantically exploring the Water Demon's corpse.

"Found it." Li Yuan's eyes lit up. His palms suddenly pulled out of the Water Demon's corpse, splashing a large amount of blue blood.

In Li Yuan's palm was a crystal-clear blue sphere, and the sphere was still emitting strange life fluctuations.

"Destroy!" Li Yuan's heart moved, and a powerful divine power surged out, finally completely annihilating the life fluctuations within the blue crystal sphere.

Up to this point, this Water Demon was completely destroyed.

"Whoosh!" Li Yuan waved his hand and directly collected the Water Demon's corpse into his Inner Universe.

Just now, Li Yuan tried to collect the Water Demon's corpse into his Inner Universe, but he hadn't succeeded because he hadn't 'completely killed' it.

"With this life crystal core, if you don't annihilate that bit of life light, if you leave the corpse here, it won't be long before this Water Demon 'comes back to life'." Xiao Mu's voice sounded: "Of course, by then it will be the consciousness of another Water Demon."

"This life crystal core, plus the Water Demon's corpse, can also be worth dozens of Eternal Crystals." Li Yuan smiled: "Hurry up and slip away."

Whoosh!

Li Yuan turned into a stream of light and frantically rushed toward the distance.

A while later.

Boom—! Above the void, the water flow that had just calmed down suddenly burst, and immediately following, a huge figure descended. It opened its bloody mouth and directly enveloped Li Yuan.

It was as if it wanted to swallow Li Yuan in one bite.

Hum~ The mouth opened, and an invisible imprisonment descended. The space within hundreds of thousands of miles instantly shattered layer by layer... It was not trying to swallow Li Yuan, but to swallow this heaven and earth.

"Path of Cave Heaven? A path-opening Water Demon? Actually able to evade my perception." Li Yuan was shocked and angry, but also reacted instantly.

The origin of Beichen Star contains the mysteries of the two high-tier Eternal Paths of 'Life' and 'Cave Heaven'.

It gestates companion lives that also contemplate these two paths.

To be precise, these companion lives do not rely on themselves to open a path. Their essence is just a kind of evolution of the power of the origin of Beichen Star, rather than 'life' in the true sense.

"Kill!"

Li Yuan's reaction was also extremely fast. In an instant, his figure swayed and he became ten thousand kilometers tall.

Perfect star art—'Law of Heaven and Earth'.

After cultivating this body-refining star art to the Eighth Rank extreme, the changes of the God Body were all at will. As long as the divine power was enough to support it, let alone ten thousand kilometers, even ten million kilometers or a hundred million kilometers would be easy.

And it would not affect his flexibility at all.

"Heaven and Earth as One!" Li Yuan's heart moved, and he directly cast the domain-type supreme technique among the four great Emperor-level supreme techniques he cultivated, 'Heaven and Earth as One'.

Why did he cultivate in seclusion for decades after comprehending the Spatial Law before entering the Inner Domain? It was to contemplate the four great Emperor-level supreme techniques.

Except for 'Undying Body' which was still being contemplated.

Like 'Heaven and Earth as One', 'Eternal Heart Awl', 'Calamity Destruction', Li Yuan had already comprehended the first move.

Although it was only the first move, the mysteries it contained could be called the extreme of Third-Rank supreme techniques, infinitely close to the moves of many First-Step path-opening God Kings.

In Li Yuan's palm, a sphere emitting golden light emerged, and endless golden light diffused.

Domain-type low-grade God King weapon—Golden Sea Pearl!

This was obtained from a top-tier God King of the Ziwu Universe. In Li Yuan's hands, it finally exploded with its power.

Between heaven and earth, countless star phantoms that seemed to be materialized were born. This is the perfect star art—'Ten Thousand Star River'.

At this moment.

Based on Emperor-level supreme techniques, casting perfect star arts through God King weapons, the combination of the three made this vast heaven and earth completely controlled by Li Yuan.

The power was even more terrifying, surpassing this Water Demon.

Crack~

Instantly, this Water Demon's 'Swallowing Heaven' imprisonment was shattered, and instead, it suffered heavy constraints.

"So strong?"

"Is it a Second-Step path-opening God King? But in my perception, he clearly hasn't opened a path." This Water Demon was shocked and angry, wanting to retreat into the water area.

"Emperor-level supreme technique—Eternal Heart Awl!"

"Destroy!"

In the moment the domain suppressed, Li Yuan cast another Emperor-level supreme technique, 'Eternal Heart Awl'.

Hum~ In the center of Li Yuan's Mental True World, a special long shuttle was circling. This was the only soul-attacking God King weapon Li Yuan obtained, 'Soul-Splitting Shuttle'. He had already temporarily refined it into a 'Heart-Artifact'.

At this moment, accompanied by Li Yuan casting the supreme technique, in an instant, massive amounts of Void power gathered, instantly attaching to the Soul-Splitting Shuttle, causing its power to soar. Even, a small amount of Li Yuan's divine power was transforming.

The next moment, the Soul-Splitting Shuttle directly descended!

When they first entered the North Star in the early days, the God Kings of the Chaos Divine Court had entered the Endless Abyss more than once, hoping to find the source of the treasures emerging, but without exception, they all perished.

The Soul-Splitting Shuttle stabbed directly from the illusion.

This Water Demon only felt its own consciousness tremble, its soul as if it had been stabbed hard by a sharp object.

So painful!

Pain!

"Boom—" Under this blow, it actually caused this Water Demon's consciousness to collapse instantly.

Its eyes dimmed.

Its huge body also became motionless in an instant.

Fallen.

"It died just like that?" Li Yuan, who was preparing to continue material attacks, couldn't help but be stunned.

He also hadn't expected that one of his soul attacks would directly destroy an Eighth Rank existence?

It was too easy.

"Hahaha."

"Sure enough, this First-Step path-opening Water Demon was directly destroyed by your soul." Xiao Mu's voice sounded.

"Is 'Eternal Heart Awl' so strong? I have only mastered the first move, and I can destroy a First-Step path-opening God King?" Li Yuan couldn't help but say.

Although he knew 'Eternal Heart Awl' was powerful and had cultivated it himself, this was the first time he had cast it.

The power indeed exceeded Li Yuan's imagination.

"Wrong!"

"This Water Demon, although it has the Dao comprehension of a First-Step path-opening God King, its means are far too inferior." Xiao Mu said: "In terms of soul will, it is even further behind. It is not a true life after all. In terms of will, it is only at the Seventh Rank extreme and has not comprehended the Heart of Eternity."

Li Yuan realized.

He had heard Xiao Mu say that in the vast universe, there are many powerhouses whose life level reaches the Eighth Rank, and their souls also step into the Eighth Rank, but their will stays at the Seventh Rank for a long time.

"You comprehend the Heart of Eternity. Even if you hide in the Undying Heaven and Earth in the future, you will probably only live for tens of millions of years more before you have to die." Xiao Mu said: "And the God Kings of the Star God cultivation system, which one's soul will is not extremely strong? It is not something it can compare to."

Li Yuan understood.

God Kings are all very terrifying... Like the Chaos God Court, why do they give newly promoted God Kings 10,000 Eternal Crystals?

Wealth far exceeding most Eighth Rank powerhouses in the universe.

The core reason is that God Kings are all destined to open a path and destined to become powerhouses among the Eighth Rank, so giving 10,000 Eternal Crystals is naturally not much.

"On the other hand."

"Li Yuan, it is not that 'Eternal Heart Awl' is strong, it is that you are strong enough." Xiao Mu's voice sounded: "You also underestimate yourself."

"The Emperor-level supreme techniques I chose for you are indeed not wrong, and the path I chose for you is not wrong... You have great potential in the Path of Heart-Artifact."

"Four great supreme techniques."

"'Eternal Heart Awl' should be the most suitable for you." Xiao Mu said: "Far more suitable for you than the 'Heart World' you cultivated before."

(End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 646 =====

At this moment, his gaze pierced through the illusions, spotting that silver-armored figure continuously plummeting within the mist.

"Hmm? Who is this? Such an unfamiliar soul aura; how have I never seen it before?"

"To actually come to the Endless Abyss?" The figure in the crimson battle armor was stunned for a moment.

For God King-level powerhouses, changing one's appearance and physique is too easy, so they are accustomed to sensing soul auras or causal fluctuations.

A soul aura is very difficult to disguise.

"No."

"There are no causal lines between us, and I have never seen... this attire, is it God King Brother Xinyuan?" The figure in the crimson battle armor recognized him in an instant, a flash of killing intent crossing his eyes: "What incredible audacity!"

"Having just become a God King, I thought your true body would always hide in the surface layer of the North Star. I didn't expect you to actually dare to rush into the inner domain."

"Courting death."

"Haha, the Divine Emperor even asked us to prepare to ignite a God King war outside the North Star... Now it seems I will be the one to get there first; this is a great merit." The figure in the crimson battle armor revealed a hint of desire: "I'd also like to see what exactly this treasure is that even the Abyss Divine Emperor covets."

Swoosh!

The figure in the crimson battle armor instantly rushed out from the shelter of the giant rock, making no attempt to hide, and charged directly toward Li Yuan's location: "That guy Yuqiu is also nearby; if things go wrong, he might discover God King Brother Xinyuan too... I must be fast."

"A quick battle to resolve it."

The figure in the crimson battle armor didn't take Li Yuan to heart at all. A newly promoted God King, how strong could he be?

"The further down I go, the more violent the water current impact becomes, and the speed is getting faster and faster."

"I'm afraid that even if God Monarch Ganyu came, once slightly affected by the water current, he would die instantly." Li Yuan muttered to himself, becoming increasingly careful to avoid it.

He must not be smashed to death by the water current before even reaching the bottom of the abyss; that would be a complete joke.

Suddenly.

"Hmm?" Li Yuan turned his head abruptly. Having been maintaining his domain, he instantly sensed a powerful existence not far away, who had already rushed into his domain range and was charging at high speed.

The figure in crimson battle armor had a massive physique.

Those two eyes were like two stars, brilliantly and endlessly staring at Li Yuan with killing intent.

"God King Lieyan of the Abyss Divine Court?" Li Yuan recognized him instantly.

He already knew all the intelligence on the God Kings of the major forces in the Divine Domain... Li Yuan knew the intelligence on the nine God Kings of the Abyss Divine Court within the North Star by heart.

Li Yuan also didn't expect to run into one here.

God King Lieyan, belonging to the Abyss Divine Court, was a rock lifeform who attained the Dao and eventually became a God King, successfully opening up the "Rock Fire Dao." Although this Dao is only an ordinary Eternal Dao, it was derived from the Law of Earth and the Law of Fire, making his frontal combat quite impressive, and his material defense was also extremely outstanding.

Now, he has already taken the second step on the Rock Fire Dao, and it is clear that he possesses the upper-grade God King weapon, the "Crimson Rock Blade."

In terms of strength, he should be about the same as God King Fengyue and the others, with stronger defense, if only lacking in speed, domain, and other auxiliary means.

"The killing intent is soaring; does he want to kill me?" Li Yuan's heart stirred, but he wasn't surprised.

Just as God King Dongmang said, once his tracks were exposed, I'm afraid the God Kings of the Abyss Divine Court would all go crazy and come to hunt him down.

God King Lieyan already belongs to the easier ones among the nine God Kings of the Abyss Divine Court.

If God King Chenmo or God King Mohai came, that would be trouble... In the Abyss Divine Court, those who can open up a three-step Eternal Dao may not necessarily use "Demon" as their title, but those who can use "Demon" as their title are, without exception, all those who have opened up a three-step Eternal Dao.

"Bind!" Li Yuan's heart stirred, starlight swirling as he attempted to suppress God King Lieyan.

"Get lost!" A roar of anger.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~ Centered on God King Lieyan, fire lotuses bloomed instantly within a radius of millions of kilometers. Fire lotuses born from the void bloomed in layers, pressing toward Li Yuan.

"Haha, little brat Brother Xinyuan."

"My Dao, although not good at domains, is not something a newly promoted Space God King like you can compare to." God King Lieyan's voice was arrogant: "Little brat Brother Xinyuan, don't get burned directly by my fire lotuses..."

But his voice stopped abruptly.

Just as those countless fire lotuses were born, centered on Li Yuan, strands of golden light bloomed, and the God King weapon, the Golden Sea Pearl, dispersed.

Following closely, Li Yuan directly cast "Heaven and Earth as One"!

Then combined with "Ten Thousand Star Rivers."

The three combined, causing Li Yuan's domain's control over space to surge, waves of starlight crashing like a tide, causing those fire lotuses to instantly annihilate.

It was completely one-sided.

Directly pressing toward God King Lieyan.

God King Lieyan also tried to erupt his domain again, but the few fire lotuses that were born were annihilated once more.

The pressure of the domain with flowing starlight caused his speed to drop sharply.

At this moment.

"Haha, Lieyan, your Dao is just as you said, truly mediocre, actually being suppressed in terms of domain by a newly promoted God King, you really lose face for us old-school God Kings." Another sharp voice rang out.

"Tsk tsk, God King Brother Xinyuan, you really have guts, actually daring to come to the inner domain, I admire you."

Another figure with a powerful aura appeared at the end of the void, but he did not break into the battle area between Li Yuan and God King Lieyan, only watching from afar.

"Yuqiu! Get lost to the side!" God King Lieyan was furious upon hearing this, staring even more fixedly at Li Yuan: "Little brat Brother Xinyuan, do you think you can win just because your domain is strong? You are dead."

"Lieyan." Li Yuan said coldly: "If you have the ability, come and kill me, don't just be a keyboard warrior."

At the same time, Li Yuan also vigilantly looked at the figure at the end of the void.

God King Yuqiu? He is a God King of the North Return Divine Court, his strength is also quite impressive, and he is also a two-step God King.

Li Yuan dared not guarantee that the other party would definitely not be tempted.

"Fine, I'll send you to your death right now." God King Lieyan roared.

Boom!

God King Lieyan's figure suddenly surged, turning into a towering giant ten thousand kilometers high, and his speed surged even more, actually soaring to twice the speed of light... The impact of the domain on him was also greatly weakened.

His speed far exceeded Li Yuan's.

He pounced like lightning.

"Erupting a secret technique? Such fast speed, worthy of being a two-step God King." Li Yuan belittled the other party with his mouth, but his heart was quite amazed.

Whoosh!

In Li Yuan's palm, a Silver Moon Divine Spear appeared. The divine spear flashed, turning into a dazzling stream of light and thrusting straight out.

PS: Guaranteed two-in-one.
