Chapter 659

Li Yuan unleashed the Cosmic Lotus and immediately touched the deepest origin, which contained endless mysterious Dao patterns.

It was like a vast world, yet it also seemed to contain the secrets of all living things.

"World Dao!"

"Myriad Spirit Dao, the mysteries of two Eternal Daos combined with each other... it is actually so profound, truly extraordinary." Li Yuan sighed to himself, but at the same time, he also noticed: "But the two Eternal Daos seem to be not perfectly combined..."

The two Eternal Daos are not fused into one, but rather seem like two puzzle pieces joined together... yet even this combination has flaws.

It is not perfect.

This made Li Yuan feel a trace of discomfort whenever he unleashed the Cosmic Lotus... it was as if he were wielding a sharp "broken sword"; although sharp and capable of killing enemies, it was ultimately incomplete.

"A broken sword... could it be that the Cosmic Lotus has a more advanced form?" Li Yuan immediately thought of a possibility.

At the same time, he also thought of the "Godhead Inner Armor," which was divided into two forms: the God Heart Inner Armor and the Godhead Inner Armor.

At the True God Realm, the God Heart Inner Armor was only a high-grade Heavenly Divine Artifact.

At the Heavenly God Realm, the Godhead Inner Armor directly transformed into a high-grade God King weapon... the gap between the two was shockingly large.

What if the Cosmic Lotus also had two forms?

"Just the first form is already so powerful that it is nearly an Imperial Weapon, and the mysteries of the Dao are comparable to many Imperial Weapons." Li Yuan was secretly shocked: "If it goes a step further, how strong would it be?"

Li Yuan dared not imagine.

Could it be that the Cosmic Lotus could rival an Imperial Weapon at the level of Beichen Star in the future? Or be even more powerful?

It is a pity that no more information was left in the Source Seed, and based on what Li Yuan knows now, it is only a guess.

Even if the Cosmic Lotus could be stronger, as for how to reach a higher form, Li Yuan knows nothing.

Does it require a stronger Dao-opening power? Or for him to step into the Imperial Realm? Or does it require some additional special materials?

"No rush."

"When my strength is greater, no matter how mysterious and powerful the Source Seed is, many secrets will eventually be revealed." Li Yuan thought secretly.

However, although the Source Seed is magical, it has the same flaw as the Godhead Inner Armor.

That is, it originates from the Source Seed... and the Source Seed has already merged into Li Yuan's true self's godhead.

Therefore, it cannot leave Li Yuan's true self's divine body.

If he wants to completely unleash the power of the Cosmic Lotus, then Li Yuan's true self must take the field.

"It seems that among my three true selves, the true self is destined to be the strongest." Li Yuan thought secretly: "But when the time comes to be necessary,"

"What harm is there in the true self appearing?" Li Yuan is quite calm now that he has reached this level.

God Kings are all cautious and do not easily carry heavy treasures, for fear of falling outside and losing their treasures.

But no matter how cautious.

In some extremely important battles and actions, one must still go all out... and in Li Yuan's view, the upcoming God King war is worth going all out for.

If this battle is successful, it will be enough to severely damage the Abyss Divine Court, deter the entire Divine Domain, and forge his own prestige.

If this opportunity is missed, I don't know how long it will take to find another opportunity to severely damage the Abyss Divine Court.

Whoosh!

Li Yuan waved his hand and immediately scattered some life materials from his true self's hands.

They landed in the purple lotuses released by the Cosmic Lotus.

"Analyze!"

Li Yuan maintained the operation of the Cosmic Lotus, and the "life essence" of various materials immediately appeared before Li Yuan... everything was revealed without doubt.

Swish, swish, swish~ More materials were analyzed by Li Yuan, but the speed was much slower.

He even encountered difficulties.

"The Cosmic Lotus can easily analyze many materials below the True God level... but it is much harder to analyze Heavenly God-level materials." Li Yuan noticed this point: "Is it because my comprehension of the Cosmic Lotus's origin is not deep enough?"

If his comprehension of the origin is not deep enough, he cannot bring the power of the Cosmic Lotus to its limit.

"Moreover, what is being analyzed now are only dead objects, materials dismantled from many corpses." Li Yuan thought secretly: "The mysteries of all living things, besides matter, also include the soul."

"Chaos Continent."

Li Yuan's gaze swept over, and with the help of his own authority and the Cosmic Lotus, he landed on the vast continent below the Three Imperial Palaces... This continent is where the headquarters of the Chaos Divine Court is located, and many descendants of God King bloodlines, Heavenly God families, and a large number of Divine Court cultivators are gathered on this continent.

Hum!

Silently, a large number of demigods, Void Gods, and True Gods on the continent, totaling over a thousand, were selected by Li Yuan and simultaneously moved into his palace.

This is the authority possessed by a God King.

"Observe." Li Yuan operated the Cosmic Lotus to observe these cultivators.

"After stepping into the fifth rank, life has some essential changes, the soul is more powerful, the divine machine is stronger, and even the life imprint enters the River of Time?" Li Yuan noticed this point: "If one wants to resurrect life at the Void God level and above, the difficulty is completely different from resurrecting life below the Void God level."

Li Yuan did not understand this in the past.

But by observing through the Cosmic Lotus, Li Yuan could initially conclude that if a God Emperor wanted to resurrect countless lives below the Void God level, he could probably resurrect them with a wave of his hand... but to resurrect a Void God or above, the cost of resurrecting one is very high.

"How is that possible?" God King Chenmo and God King Anhai could not believe it. Fighting until now, they considered their survival to be of little concern.

"A God Emperor cannot resurrect a God King... I'm afraid that after life steps from the seventh rank to the eighth rank, there will be some essential changes again." Li Yuan kept observing.

"The more powerful one is, the more complex the essence of life, and the soul structure is even more special; every life's soul is unique."

"All life has a life origin... and all have flaws."

"If I want to annihilate these cultivators before me, besides material annihilation and soul annihilation... there seems to be a third way." Li Yuan felt some mysteries.

That is "Life Deprivation!"

Insight into the weaknesses in the life origin of these cultivators... just like the collapse of a building, perhaps only one brick needs to be removed.

Annihilating life is the same.

As long as one finds a flaw in their life origin and targets it from a higher level, with a flick of a finger, one can cause their life origin to collapse, and they will naturally fall directly.

However, it is also very difficult to achieve this step.

"Life Deprivation."

"No wonder in the stories told by Xiaomu, some Myriad Spirit Dao powerhouses in history could annihilate many God Kings and even God Emperors silently." Li Yuan thought secretly: "They could even change the 'life origin structure' of enemies, thereby enslaving and controlling the other party, or causing the enemy's divine body to riot."

"When carrying out some massacres, a Myriad Spirit Dao powerhouse could cause countless lives in a star domain to fall simultaneously with a flick of a finger, without hurting anything nearby, turning the entire star domain into a dead zone." Although Li Yuan has only just begun to comprehend it, he has already initially felt the uniqueness of the Myriad Spirit Dao.

In short, this is a very terrifying Eternal Dao.

Frontal combat is not considered strong, but it can make one's own divine body extremely powerful, and various insidious means will also make enemies fearful.

"Not enough!"

"The mysteries of life are endless... the number of demigods, Void Gods, and True Gods before me is too small, and the types are too monotonous." Li Yuan shook his head secretly.

With a thought.

The over a thousand cultivators moved into the palace by Li Yuan disappeared simultaneously... From beginning to end, they were under the shroud of Li Yuan's Heart Realm and had no idea what had happened.

"I want to analyze all living things."

"I must have more materials, more life, and it is best to have different races, different levels, and even different life forms..." A burst of longing arose in Li Yuan's heart.

This is a thirst for the Great Dao.

Beichen Star, the core of Yinhai City.

Inside Yinhai Palace.

Li Yuan's source body had long since rushed back here and was sitting cross-legged on a golden throne, quietly comprehending the Dao and Law contained in the golden throne.

Beside him stood the phantom of Xiaomu, who looked like a little fatty.

"Myriad Spirit Analysis?"

"This! This Source Seed actually has such a miraculous effect?" Xiaomu was stunned as he listened to Li Yuan describe the mysteries of the Cosmic Lotus and the Source Seed: "What kind of treasure is this?"

"Could it be from the depths of the River Ruins?"

"But the Life God King you mentioned, even if his strength reached the threshold of the Imperial Realm... it is impossible for him to go deep into the River Domain, at most wandering in the peripheral areas? How could he obtain such a heavy treasure?" Xiaomu couldn't help but say: "Li Yuan, the value of this treasure of yours is probably higher than Beichen Star."

Li Yuan listened quietly.

This was about the same as what he had guessed in his heart... the power currently displayed by the Source Seed was still far from Beichen Star.

However, who dares to say that this is the limit of the Source Seed?

"Myriad Spirit Analysis."

"According to what you said, its efficacy is even more advanced than the God Emperor's 'Myriad Spirit Insight'." Xiaomu sighed with emotion.

"Myriad Spirit Insight?" Li Yuan looked puzzled.

"Yes."

"Li Yuan, do you still remember the four Eternal Daos I planned for you?" Xiaomu said.

"I remember." Li Yuan nodded.

"In the cultivation plan I made for you, the four top-tier Eternal Daos you need to open up—World Dao, Myriad Spirit Dao, Heart Vessel Dao, and Great Destruction Dao—should have increasing difficulty in opening up." Xiaomu said: "Like the World Dao, opening it up so easily, although it exceeded my expectations, is still normal when combined with your own cultivation conditions."

Li Yuan nodded; Xiaomu indeed hadn't expected the mystery of his inner universe before.

"But on the other hand."

"Among the four Imperial Realm peerless techniques, you have made the slowest progress in 'Indestructible Body' and the fastest progress in 'Eternal Heart Awl'; even the progress in 'Tribulation Destruction' seems faster than 'Indestructible Body.' I still believe you will open up the Myriad Spirit Dao first?" Xiaomu revealed a mysterious smile.

Li Yuan shook his head.

This was also a point he had been confused about before.

"The inner universe is constantly evolving and perfecting, and in at most a thousand years, it will reach the stage of 'the universe giving birth to all living things'." Xiaomu laughed: "At that time, life will naturally be born in your inner universe, and through the origin of the universe, you will perform 'Myriad Spirit Insight.' Just studying the mysteries of life within the universe will be much easier than it is now."

"The inner universe has such a miraculous effect?" Li Yuan was surprised.

"Three thousand Eternal Daos are difficult to distinguish from one another, and they are all related." Xiaomu said: "God Emperors can comprehend many Eternal Daos through the magic of the inner universe, but their inner universe origins have limits, making it difficult for them to achieve great success in more Eternal Daos."

Li Yuan suddenly realized.

"You were born with an inner universe, and it is the most perfect and powerful inner universe. This is also the reason why I am certain you have hope of opening up multiple top-tier Eternal Daos." Xiaomu sighed: "I just didn't expect that the Source Seed you obtained, the Cosmic Lotus, is even more powerful than 'Myriad Spirit Insight'."

"However."

"When you deduce the Myriad Spirit Dao in the future, you can completely combine the two." Xiaomu said: "Myriad Spirit Insight has a larger range, covering the entire inner universe, and should be more conducive to observing the dynamics of countless lives. You can observe living things and then observe their soul fluctuations."

"And once the Cosmic Lotus is unleashed, it consumes a huge amount of your divine power, and its range is small, making it more conducive to observing dead objects." Xiaomu analyzed: "The Myriad Spirit Dao includes the Life Dao and the Death Dao... between life and death lies the ultimate end of all living things."

After Xiaomu's analysis, Li Yuan had a clearer understanding of how to open up the Myriad Spirit Dao.

And Li Yuan's true self once again sought out God King Master Dongmang.

"You need life materials of all known life races in the entire Divine Domain, plant life, flesh-and-blood life, energy organisms, Void life... and it's best to have living things? Various soul materials?" God King Master Dongmang was surprised.

The list Li Yuan gave was simply too complex.

"Are you preparing to open up the Life Dao again? Or the Myriad Spirit Dao?" God King Master Dongmang realized this instantly.

It must be known that he himself also walks the Life Dao, and his eye for it is sufficient.

"Myriad Spirit Dao." Li Yuan said frankly.

"But haven't you already opened up the World Dao? You still want to be distracted by others? Is there enough time?" God King Master Dongmang felt confused.

In his view, a top-tier Eternal Dao is already incomparably difficult, and for a powerhouse to be able to open one and deduce it to the fourth step within a limited time is already as difficult as ascending to heaven.

Li Yuan still wants to be distracted?

"Senior Brother, I have my own reasons." Li Yuan laughed; it was very difficult to explain too much involving the Source Seed and the perfect ten star pulses.

If people knew that he had opened up an "inner universe" at the Heavenly God Realm, the shock would only be greater.

"Fine."

"I will handle it. I will pass the order to the many departments of the Divine Court." God King Master Dongmang saw this and stopped asking: "I will let them collect them within the entire Divine Domain... Your research on the mysteries of all living things is estimated to require a huge quantity. This is a long-term process. Those Void Gods only have a lifespan of 5,000 years, and demigods only have a lifespan of 1,000 years."

"Well, I will let them open up 10,000 small worlds on the Chaos Continent to facilitate the raising of billions of races. You can just go and pick them if you need them." God King Master Dongmang said: "If you need life materials, I will let them cut and collect them in batches..."

"Stop!"

"Senior Brother." Li Yuan said helplessly with a smile: "I only need to observe, so it doesn't matter if they live in small worlds... but there is no need to specifically kill and collect life materials."

Although Li Yuan is decisive in killing, he is not a bloodthirsty killer; he only kills those he believes should be killed in his heart.

"Haha, good." God King Master Dongmang laughed and did not force it.

"By the way, Senior Brother, do I need to pay extra Eternal Crystals for collecting so many materials?" Li Yuan asked.

"No need."

"This is a 'special action' of the Divine Court to study the billions of races in the Divine Domain and consolidate the foundation of the Divine Court's life materials. What does it have to do with you?" God King Master Dongmang laughed: "As for the few materials you take occasionally... they are free within the God King quota."

Li Yuan was speechless.

"When you become the leader of the Imperial Palace, you can do similar things." God King Master Dongmang said: "Remember, within the scope allowed by the rules, spend the Divine Court's resources to handle your own affairs... Life is limited, focus on cultivation, and try not to be distracted by these trivial matters."

"The God Emperor opened the Divine Court, and we joined the Divine Court... ultimately not to make the Divine Court stronger, but to make ourselves stronger."

"Well." Li Yuan nodded.

If he had to rely on himself to collect materials from billions of races, even if he had world-shaking supernatural powers, he would waste a lot of time... but it would be much easier to let the tens of thousands of Heavenly Gods and the vast number of True Gods of the Chaos Divine Court handle it.

It is good to just sit back and enjoy the fruits of others' labor.

This is also one of the reasons why powerhouses want to build huge forces.

"In addition, if you want to study the mysteries of life, besides studying the billions of ordinary race lives in the Divine Domain... there is another path."

"Please guide me, Senior Brother." Li Yuan said repeatedly.

His Senior Brother has cultivated for more than 8.2 million years and has reached the peak of the three steps in the Life Dao, and his vision and knowledge are also extremely high.

"Go and collect 'life materials' of seventh-rank life, and even eighth-rank life and ninth-rank life." God King Master Dongmang said solemnly: "Besides the Star God cultivation system, you can also collect life materials from other cultivation systems."

"Eighth-rank life, ninth-rank life?" Li Yuan was stunned.

That represents the level of God Kings and God Emperors. Where can one collect them?

As for other cultivation systems? They are even harder to find, and there are none in the entire Divine Domain.

"Billions of races are all evolved and bred by heaven and earth, and they are the cornerstone of studying the mysteries of all living things, but it is not enough." God King Master Dongmang continued: "And powerful life, like the life material of an Imperial Realm powerhouse, is how rare? It contains the ultimate mysteries of their cultivation. If you can successfully dissect it, it will greatly improve your comprehension of the mysteries of life."

"One portion is worth billions of portions of ordinary life."

"But how to find the life materials of the Imperial Realm?" Li Yuan couldn't help but say.

In the entire Divine Domain, there are only a few Imperial Realm powerhouses.

"Haha, it is naturally very difficult to collect them within the Divine Domain." God King Master Dongmang smiled: "But if it is in Eternal Ruins, such as the Immortal Heaven and Earth, it will be much easier."

"There, powerhouses from many universes in the Dark Domain are gathered, as well as countless powerhouses from history... Powerhouses collect life materials after killing native life in the Eternal Ruins."

"On the other hand, many powerhouses will also sell their own 'life materials'."

"Sell their own life materials?" Li Yuan was stunned.

Listening to it, it is almost the same as mortals selling blood to make money.

But for cultivators, selling life materials easily exposes their own weaknesses and means.

It is even easier to be targeted by enemies.

"For cultivation resources, for greater strength, what won't they do?" God King Master Dongmang sighed: "In short, in the Eternal Ruins, powerhouses gather, and they have even specifically built cities. All kinds of rare treasures will be richer than you imagine."

Li Yuan nodded, feeling an increasing longing to go to the Immortal Heaven and Earth.

"Junior Brother."

"Here." God King Master Dongmang waved his hand, and a storage treasure flew out and landed in front of Li Yuan.

"This is?" Li Yuan felt confused in his heart. With a thought of his divine sense, he probed it and immediately felt the powerful "corpses" floating in the storage magic treasure, arranged and classified clearly.

The quantity was shockingly large.

There were over 10,000 complete corpse materials, including all kinds of strange lives... and there were even more incomplete and damaged ones.

Judging from the life aura, Li Yuan could judge that these life materials were at least at the Heavenly God level.

Many of them were even at the God King level.

There were even three portions of life materials that were "blood," but the terrifying aura made people tremble.

Three drops of blood floated in the void.

"This?" Under Li Yuan's observation, he held his breath.

He only felt that the time and space around these three drops of blood were nearly static, and no matter how the light of time flowed, it seemed difficult to leave any trace on the surface of these three drops of blood.

Strands of brilliance flowed on the surface of the three drops of blood, beautiful and magnificent.

"Imperial Realm blood?" Li Yuan said in shock.

"Yes."

"For millions of years, I have been collecting various life materials. Most of them were consumed in my research, and this is the remaining part." God King Master Dongmang said: "I originally collected nine portions of Imperial blood, and only three portions remain."

"Today, I will give them all to you, Junior Brother." God King Master Dongmang smiled.

"Senior Brother, this gift is too valuable." Li Yuan couldn't help but say, although he didn't know the value of these life materials for the time being.

But just the three drops of Imperial blood were absolutely worth a lot.

"Without you."

"I would have had to throw away the Giansheng Indestructible Fruit in my hand, and that true self would have had to die in battle. You even brought me the antidote." God King Master Dongmang said.

"It is only right for me to help Senior Brother. How much has Senior Brother helped me along the way?" Li Yuan said repeatedly.

Towards God King Master Dongmang, Li Yuan was full of gratitude in his heart.

Named as Senior Brother, he is actually half a master.

"Take what Senior Brother gives you." God King Master Dongmang laughed: "I have reached the three-step limit of the Life Dao. These life materials have little use for me. To cross the last step, I can only rely on myself..."

"I hope they can play a role in your hands." God King Master Dongmang shook his head and said: "If you don't accept them, I will be angry."

Li Yuan was helpless and could only accept them.

"That's right."

"We are fellow disciples, don't be too distant." God King Master Dongmang smiled again.

Not long after.

Li Yuan left God King Master Dongmang's palace.

"My Junior Brother."

"He is clearly still just a Heavenly God, first opening the World Dao, and now wants to study the Myriad Spirit Dao?" God King Master Dongmang thought secretly: "This cultivation path... I simply don't understand it."

"In terms of talent and comprehension."

"Looking at the entire universe, he is probably in the most top-tier category." God King Master Dongmang thought to himself: "I don't know how far he can go in the future."

After returning to his palace.

"Senior Brother really gave me a great gift." Li Yuan thought, and with a thought, he unleashed the Cosmic Lotus.

He began to analyze the life materials gifted by God King Master Dongmang... but they were all at least Heavenly God-level materials.

The analysis speed was very slow, and Li Yuan found it even harder to understand.

Studying the mysteries of all living things and analyzing the essence of life... this is destined to be a long and arduous process that requires enough patience.

And as Li Yuan continued to comprehend the golden throne and began the analysis and cultivation of the "Myriad Spirit Dao."

Abyss Divine Court headquarters, Abyss Star.

"God Emperor, let us decide for ourselves whether to continue the war." God King King Moyun's gaze swept over God King Chenmo and the others.

"The Purple Crow Universe has been abandoned."

"Let's give up too."

"Relying solely on us to win against the Chaos Divine Court is too difficult... and there is simply no hope of killing God King Brother Xinyuan."

"Give up." The many God Kings of the Abyss Divine Court quickly made a decision.

Give up this God King war.

"Retreat."

"Let's go." The God Kings of the Abyss Divine Court, who were originally hiding in the space near Beichen Star, began to leave one by one.

This sign was also noticed by God Kings of other major forces.

"The Abyss Divine Court has retreated?"

"Are they giving up the war?"

"Probably."

"God King Brother Xinyuan is so powerful, so what if he carries heavy treasures? So what if he must come out of the Beichen Star passage? Which God King has the confidence to kill him?"

"And his cultivation time is short, who is willing to really offend him?" God Kings of various major forces were not surprised.

In such a situation, if the Abyss Divine Court still wanted to fight to the death with the Chaos Divine Court, that would be stupid.

But soon, as the God Kings of the Abyss Divine Court left one by one... another sign was also noticed by people.

"The Chaos Divine Court did not retreat, but instead, more God Kings have descended to guard outside Beichen Star."

"This?"

"What's going on?"

"Could it be that the Abyss Divine Court is going to give up the war, but the Chaos Divine Court is preparing to start a war?" God Kings of various major forces were in an uproar, but they were also excited.

"How will the Abyss Divine Court respond?"
