Chapter 653

"Whoosh!"

An ancient mirror appeared before King Xinjie. Within the mirror, divine mist permeated, rosy light surged, and chaos churned like a sea, as if evolving into a vast world, filled with eerie and miraculous power.

The next instant, brilliance erupted from the mirror!

That vast world seemed to descend from another universe, instantly shrouding a radius of ten million kilometers, simultaneously enveloping King Chenmo, King Hongjiu, King Yinhong, and King Yinghuan.

The world grew dim.

Billions of strands of rosy light shot out, as if forged from the patterns of the Dao of Laws. From within the light, vast demonic sounds spread, filled with holiness, as if billions of living beings were chanting and praying, containing a strange power... each striking toward the four God Kings, causing their minds to tremble.

"Cheap tricks. King Xinjie is right in front."

"King Xinjie has moved behind us."

"No, in my perception, why are there two of her?" The four God Kings exchanged words, and immediately, their hearts were filled with terror, realizing they had fallen for the opponent's special technique.

They seemed to have fallen into a special world.

"This is the Heart Realm. It looks real, but it is actually a Void Realm shrouding our souls," King Chenmo said coldly, seeing through it. "That divine mirror just now must be the 'Dao Weapon' most compatible with her. To bring such a precious treasure, this must be her final resort."

"As long as we break this Heart Realm, we can kill her."

"Slay her and seize her Dao Weapon. From now on, even if King Xinjie reappears, her strength will be greatly diminished."

If a God King's weapon only contains complete spatial laws, it can only be considered low-grade. Only those containing extremely strong Great Dao sources and engraved with Eternal Dao patterns that transcend the laws of heaven and earth can be called high-grade God King weapons.

Every three-step God King, after reaching the limit of their own Dao, will attempt to collect a vast amount of rare treasures, using their inner world as a furnace and their own Dao as the source to forge the 'High-Grade God King Weapon' most suitable for themselves.

Such a weapon, in the hands of others, might only be an ordinary high-grade God King weapon.

But in the hands of its original owner, it is a true Dao Weapon with terrifying, peerless power.

"Anhai! Use your domain to suppress her Heart Realm," King Chenmo transmitted via soul.

"Understood."

King Anhai had been maintaining his Cave Heaven Domain, controlling the overall situation and observing King Xinjie's movements from the outside, so he had not been shrouded by the mirror's radiance.

In his perception.

At this moment, the area where the four God Kings were trapped was very strange, having transcended material reality and faintly integrated the power of the Void Realm... Reality and illusion were intertwined. King Anhai's domain could penetrate it, but could not control it.

Clearly, as a three-step God King on the path of the soul, although King Xinjie's material combat was average, her application of Void Realm power had reached an unfathomable level.

"Suppress! Cave Heaven Light!" King Anhai thought to himself.

In an instant, the Cave Heaven Domain that had originally shrouded the vast void began to shrink rapidly, as if a great universe were collapsing. Countless materials converged, and thousands of divine rays intertwined to form a single point.

It seemed to be a singularity—infinitesimally small, yet infinitely heavy.

This was one of King Anhai's lethal ultimate moves: when spread out, the domain shrouded everything like a sea; when attacking, the Cave Heaven converged into one, with endless sharpness.

"Rumble!"

This singularity fell into the distorted Heart Realm space like a giant boulder falling into water, instantly stirring up waves. It was not enough to break the Heart Realm space... but it could provide guidance for King Chenmo and the others.

"Reality and illusion are intertwined; the key is at this point."

"Attack!" King Hongjiu maintained her fate deduction and instantly locked onto a point in the void. "Follow my guidance."

"Understood!"

"Good!"

"Attack!" King Chenmo, King Yinhong, and King Yinghuan were already prepared. The life-and-death battles of long years and the God King-level consciousness processing speed meant they did not hesitate in the slightest.

"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" "Whoosh!"

Billions of rays of treasure light shone as numerous God King weapons bloomed with radiance, each triggering their own Dao laws. The heavens and earth roared violently as they attacked the same point... The combined attack of the five God Kings was peerless in power.

Several consecutive attacks!

With a boom!

This distorted void was torn apart, and the four God Kings broke out of the Heart Realm space. Immediately following, a dazzling blade light slashed out—it was King Chenmo, who had unleashed his full power the moment he broke through the Heart Realm space.

One blade strike, divine light surging, as if it could completely cleave a Divine Domain.

"Clang!"

The collision of divine artifacts roared, as if ten thousand spirits were weeping. The heavens and earth shifted, and a divine mirror manifested, though its aura had greatly diminished, and there was a visible crack in the center.

The divine mirror contained a Void Realm, with a vast universe living with countless real Void Realm lifeforms.

The strike just now had also caused the great universe within the divine mirror to suffer heavy damage, annihilating countless Void Realm lifeforms.

The weeping sound came from the lifeforms nurtured within the divine mirror.

Whoosh! Behind the divine mirror, that purple triangular prism crystal reappeared, its aura still sharp and vast.

"Anhai." King Xinjie's heart turned cold to the extreme.

If not for King Anhai suppressing from the outside... the power of her Dao Weapon would have been enough to trap the four God Kings for a long time.

Unfortunately, under the combined internal and external attacks.

Plus King Hongjiu constantly deducing with all her might, her ultimate move had actually been pierced through by the combined efforts of the four God Kings.

This was the terror of a God King joint attack. A God King usually only excels in one Dao... If King Xinjie encountered any one of the five God Kings alone, for example, if she encountered King Chenmo alone, although she would not be a match head-on, she could completely toy with the opponent and then calmly retreat.

But if multiple God Kings joined forces and coordinated with each other, the strength they erupted with would skyrocket by a large margin.

At this moment, her ultimate move was broken, and her Dao Weapon was damaged.

"The Dao Weapon needs time to recover," King Xinjie waved her hand to put away the divine mirror, the crack in which was already rapidly healing. "Next, it will only be more difficult. It is time to fight for my life."

Boom!

King Xinjie no longer retreated; instead, her main body erupted with thousands of purple auspicious rays, taking the initiative to kill toward the four God Kings.

"Kill!"

"She actually dares to take the initiative to fight."

"Destroy her!" King Chenmo roared, and the other God Kings followed suit. Terrifying attacks erupted—some were Cave Heaven Light, some were battle blades, some were great seals—all slamming into King Xinjie's body.

But to their astonishment.

"Crack!"

"Crack~" The cracks in King Xinjie's crystal main body not only did not increase, but were instead closing at an astonishing speed. Her whole body became increasingly brilliant and dazzling, fighting harder as she went.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh! Rays of purple light bloomed from King Xinjie's main body, like sharp swords, piercing through the star shadows and striking directly at the different God Kings.

At this moment.

The material killing power displayed by King Xinjie had actually approached that of King Chenmo. Even trapped under the heavy constraints of the Cave Heaven Domain, she could still withstand the siege of the four God Kings.

Powerful and peerless.

"How is this possible? She was clearly severely injured just a moment ago; how could she suddenly become so strong?"

"Doesn't she excel in the Soul Dao?"

"How could her material attacks be so strong?" King Chenmo, King Yinghuan, and the others all felt shocked.

Unless it was a top-tier Eternal Dao.

Otherwise, like ordinary Eternal Daos or high-tier Eternal Daos... there would always be obvious flaws.

Like King Chenmo, although he was a three-step God King known for his ferocity and killing power, the domain secret technique he created was not as good as that of the two-step God King, 'King Anhai.'

"No need to panic."

"King Xinjie must be in a special state." King Hongjiu's eyes had countless complex secret patterns emerging.

Her eyes were like a world.

Massive amounts of secret patterns intertwined in her eye-world, like the pages of a heavenly book turning, weaving together to form various possible futures.

She was deducing at high speed.

So-called deduction is to observe the traces of the past, gather the footprints of the present, and view the scenes of the future.

"What King Xinjie is using is some kind of innate secret technique."

"It should be related to her life form. As long as we block her killing power for a period of time, she will fall into a weakened state," King Hongjiu concluded, while telling the other four God Kings.

Immediately, King Chenmo and the others felt at ease, continuing their siege and killing, not giving King Xinjie any hope of escape.

Only a moment later.

"Hum~"

Like a mournful cry, King Xinjie, who had been as imposing as a sea, suddenly weakened... Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle~ Her crystalline main body split into countless lines in an instant, at a terrifying speed ten times faster than before.

Dense and heart-trembling.

King Xinjie's life aura also weakened to the extreme, like a candle in the wind or a lamp in the rain, with the possibility of extinguishing at any moment.

"She is about to perish."

"The Heart Realm is about to fall." King Chenmo and King Anhai both showed joy on their faces.

After fighting for so long, they finally saw the dawn of slaying King Xinjie.

"So that's it."

"Her main body is her Godhead." King Hongjiu had been deducing for a long time; with rosy light and Dao patterns intertwined around her, she suddenly realized this point. "Her Godhead is actually fused with her divine body? What a unique divine body; I didn't know about it before."

This was a point King Xinjie had never exposed in the past.

After all, in the long years, although King Xinjie had encountered great calamities, they were all in Eternal ruins, clashing with other Dark Domain powerhouses.

Clashing with powerhouses from the Xinmeng Universe Realm and falling into such a desperate situation? This was the first time.

But at this moment, King Hongjiu deduced it bit by bit from the battle scenes between the two sides.

"The power of the Void Realm is completely exhausted." King Xinjie's heart also sank to the bottom.

She was originally a 'crystal' that awakened spiritual light and embarked on the path of cultivation, naturally excelling in material defense.

Later, she pioneered the Heart Realm Dao. The first and second steps were only soul-based attack methods... until she took the third step, which finally made her understand 'the mutual generation of void and reality.'

Void Realm power and divine power are inherently capable of mutual transformation.

She combined this method with her own unique divine body and finally created the 'Undying Light' method... Once erupted, the combination of Void Realm power and divine power would cause her divine body's power to skyrocket, subsequently causing her material attacks to skyrocket... but the price was that the consumption of Void Realm power would skyrocket tenfold or a hundredfold.

"What a pity!"

"The transformation of Void Realm power into material divine power has too much loss; it takes ten parts of ability to transform one part. If my 'Heart Realm Dao' could go one step further, it would be enough to annihilate them," a thought flashed through King Xinjie's mind.

But she knew this was simply wishful thinking.

To deduce an ordinary Eternal Dao to the third step was already very lucky... To want to take the fourth step? It was as difficult as ascending to heaven.

Do you not see how many God Kings are trapped at the second step?

"Kill!"

King Yinhong roared, spitting out a great seal once more.

The great seal transformed into a landscape of mountains and rivers, containing a true dragon, with images of phoenixes, Kunpeng soaring and striking the sky... ten thousand beasts galloping, and rosy light like a vast sea surging toward King Xinjie, intending to completely suppress and kill her.

"Is this true body going to fall?" King Xinjie's heart darkened. Her divine body had already suffered heavy damage, her Godhead was covered in cracks, and both her divine power and Void Realm power were exhausted to the limit.

With such attacks, if they hit a few more times, she would surely perish.

"No!"

"It's over!" In the Xinmeng Divine Realm, King Master Dongmang, King Anguang, and King Fengyue all showed anxious expressions.

It was not just them.

At this moment, individuals like King Heishi, King Hunhai, King Huang Long, and King Fengyan had all received the news and rushed over.

It was just that they could not help.

Although King Anguang and King Fengyue were rushing over with all their might, gathering together would cause a greater disturbance, so they had been far apart before... and this battle had been too fast.

The joint attack of the five God Kings was indeed not something King Xinjie could withstand alone.

Suddenly.

"What is that?" King Heishi showed a trace of shock.

...... In the Star Sea.

When that great seal struck six times in a row, causing King Xinjie's main body to fly backward continuously, and was about to strike for the seventh time.

"Boom!"

Very suddenly, an extremely strong aura erupted, and countless star shadows appeared. These star shadows were accompanied by rays of golden light, surging over with an incomparably domineering aura, boundless and violent, with peerless momentum, crushing the Cave Heaven Domain that had originally shrouded the heavens and earth.

World Domain!

The low-grade God King weapon 'Golden Sea Pearl'!

The perfect star technique 'Ten Thousand Star Sea'... The superposition of the three reached a level of terrifying power that was unfathomable.

The speed of that great seal immediately plummeted.

The previous instant.

King Xinjie's heart was filled with despair, as she had weakened to the extreme and had no strength left.

The next moment, she felt strands of starlight surrounding her. Compared to King Anhai's starlight, these were more powerful, vigorous, and vast... The key was that they no longer had aggression or pressure.

Instead, they protected her like layers of shields.

Streams of starlight power bolstered King Xinjie's main body, giving her a sense of safety.

"Bang!"

King Xinjie's main body collided with that mountain-and-river great seal, and under the bolstering of the domain, they were evenly matched.

"Xinjie, retreat, leave it to me," Li Yuan's familiar voice rang out.

"Xinyuan?" King Xinjie felt a warmth in her heart, showing excitement, and her main body flew backward.

Just now, under the pressure of the Cave Heaven Domain, her speed had plummeted.

At this moment, bolstered by the World Domain, it was pushing her from behind, helping her continuously accelerate.

"Xinyuan? Are you really still alive?" King Anhai was shocked and angry. He could not believe it; he was a two-step God King known for his domain.

But the domain clash had actually been crushed by Li Yuan?

"Want to leave?"

"Did you ask me?" King Chenmo roared, waving his battle blade. The blade light shook the void wherever it passed, also cutting through the obstruction of the World Domain and striking directly at King Xinjie.

"Boom!"

A terrifying sound, a fist sweeping across the heavens and earth.

Using his fist as a spear and his body as a weapon, Li Yuan's divine body was comparable to a God King weapon, peerless and brave.

The sound of weapons colliding shook the nine heavens, and waves of divine radiance impacted in all directions.

After pioneering the prototype of his Dao.

For the first time, Li Yuan revealed his super strength to the world. In one great collision, King Chenmo and Li Yuan both retreated backward.

"What?"

"King Chenmo actually didn't gain the upper hand?"

"This?"

"In just over a hundred years, King Xinyuan's strength has grown to this level?" This clash made King Hongjiu, King Yinghuan, King Yinhong, and others present tremble.

It also left the many God Kings of the Abyss Divine Court and Chaos Divine Court watching from behind in astonishment.

"This King Xinyuan has grown to this point? His domain suppresses King Anhai, and his head-on clash is not inferior to King Chenmo?" Even King Moyun, far away on Nine Yang Island, was shocked.

...... "This?"

"King Xinyuan?"

"Little Junior Brother?" King Master Dongmang, King Heishi, King Hunhai, and other existences were equally shocked and even more excited.

Especially King Fengyue and King Master Dongmang, who still remembered Li Yuan saying 'I have a sense of proportion' not long ago; the words still rang in their ears.

"With such strength, saving Xinjie is very certain," King Heishi could not help but say. "King Xinyuan... his progress is truly too fast."

Indeed fast!

It made the many God Kings of the Chaos Divine Court feel a bit dreamlike... How long has it been since he became a God King? And he already has the strength of a three-step God King?

"Could my Little Junior Brother have stepped into the God King realm? Otherwise, how could he compare to a three-step Dao-pioneering God King with the body of a Heavenly God?" King Master Dongmang was the most surprised in his heart.

The God Kings watching from all sides had different thoughts. In the Star Sea.

"Boom!" The World Domain continuously shook and dispersed, spreading over tens of millions of kilometers, completely crushing the Cave Heaven Domain.

It also suppressed the five God Kings.

"Chenmo, I have been waiting for this battle with you for a long time," Li Yuan said with a cold voice, a divine spear appearing in his hand as he looked down at the five God Kings.

The five God Kings also clearly saw the silver-armored figure walking out of the World Domain. He was surrounded by starlight, as if a great universe were upon him, and strands of law-based divine order connected with the star shadows.

Ten thousand stars revered him.

His aura was peerless.

"King Xinyuan, you have such strength in such a short time; you have actually pioneered a Dao," King Anhai said, hanging in the void and staring fixedly at Li Yuan. "What you pioneered must be the top-tier Eternal Dao, the 'World Dao', right?"

"What?"

"The legendary World Dao?"

"Top-tier Eternal Dao?"

"I must be seeing things." King Chenmo, King Hongjiu, and King Yinhong were all greatly shocked.

"There is no mistake. What I pioneered is the Star Dao," King Anhai said in a low voice.

King Chenmo and the others could not help but sink in their hearts, and the two great Divine Court powerhouses watching from behind were equally shocked.

That is a top-tier Eternal Dao!

Looking across the entire Universe Realm, with twelve Divine Courts and over two hundred contemporary God Kings, not a single one has been able to pioneer a top-tier Eternal Dao.

How long has King Xinyuan been a God King? And he has already pioneered it?

"As expected of King Anhai," Li Yuan was not surprised. When powerhouses pioneer an Eternal Dao, if it leans toward deduction or soul-based methods, it is often more secretive and will not be directly exposed.

But those leaning toward slaughter have very obvious characteristic auras.

As long as they are used, they will inevitably be revealed.

He was using the 'World Domain', and it was not much different from taking the first step of a true World Dao... It was only natural for King Anhai to recognize it.

"Pioneered a top-tier Eternal Dao?"

"He has only taken the first step, and the World Dao leans toward domain control," King Chenmo said with cold eyes and a vast aura, still standing like an insurmountable cosmic celestial body under the pressure of the World Domain. "Xinyuan, can you alone block the joint efforts of our five God Kings? You cannot protect King Xinjie; today, you will all die."

"Your attacks can compare to King Chenmo, but what about material defense?" King Yinghuan said with a half-smile.

His figure overlapped, appearing both real and illusory, as if he were in different space-time heavens and earth.

"Five God Kings?" Li Yuan sneered. "What a grand formation. Unfortunately, not even one peak God King among you; too weak."

After refining the Silver Throne, within the influence range of the Beichen Star's origin, Li Yuan's strength was not necessarily invincible.

At the very least, he could be called undefeated.

"You have a big mouth, Xinyuan. Let's see your strength," King Hongjiu smiled. "Xinjie has already been severely injured and has no power to fight again in the short term. I am very curious: do you really have the confidence to block the five of us alone?"

Although Li Yuan displayed super strength, the five God Kings were still full of confidence.

For no other reason!

This was a conviction forged over long years.

"Give you a hundred thousand years, and perhaps you could snatch the title of 'Number One on the God King Ranking' from King Xueyan," King Yinhong said with a cold expression. "But today, you must die. Your first battle after pioneering a Dao will be your fall; truly pathetic."

"Is that so?"

Li Yuan smiled, a very cold smile. "Many people have said similar things to me. The last one who said that to me was named Lie Yan, and the one before that was named Qian Yu."

The five God Kings' expressions turned gloomy.

They did not speak further.

Because King Hongjiu had already finished her deduction and was simultaneously commanding several God Kings to launch an attack.

"Kill!" King Chenmo waved his battle blade, his killing intent reaching the heavens, the blade light pointing directly at Li Yuan.

As a three-step God King who had also pioneered a Dao of slaughter, his strength was unquestionable.

"Heaven-Reaching Seal." King Yinhong spat out the great seal, which expanded rapidly, with all phenomena of the heavens dispersing, as if intending to evolve into a great world.

"Cave Heaven Undying." King Anhai spread starlight around him, bolstering King Yinhong's great seal.

Immediately.

The ultimate moves of the two God Kings combined, causing the surrounding World Domain to continuously retreat, actually forming its own world, repelling Li Yuan's domain pressure and causing King Chenmo's strength to skyrocket.

"Multiple shadows become real." King Yinghuan instantly manifested nine figures, each appearing illusory yet seemingly real.

Only the divine sword in his hand released light, sharp and peerless, piercing through the heavens and earth as it struck.

In an instant, the five God Kings completely erupted.

"Haha."

"My first battle after pioneering a Dao can be sacrificed with the blood of Abyss God Kings. Very good," Li Yuan's smile was cruel.

A silver divine spear tore through the heavens and earth, and Li Yuan used his divine weapon once more.

Silver Moon Divine Spear!

With this spear strike, the heavens and earth trembled, and the endless starlight contained within the World Domain boiled, with billions of rays of light intertwining and circling the divine spear, intending to pierce through the nine heavens.

"Clang!"

"Whoosh!"

One spear strike pierced through all phenomena of the heavens and earth, its sharpness endless, directly slamming into the divine artifacts of the five God Kings, causing layers of starlight to explode, its power truly infinite.

Fighting five against one, Li Yuan's divine might was peerless, not falling behind in the slightest. Instead, under the eruption of the World Domain, King Yinhong and King Anhai retreated one after another, and the domain world they had combined to form showed signs of collapsing.

This scene shocked the five God Kings and left the God Kings of the Chaos Divine Court and the Divine Groups watching from behind in astonishment.

What kind of strength is this?

"Has he really only been cultivating for a little over a thousand years?" This was a thought that arose in the minds of many God Kings.
