Chapter 685: Holy Ancestor! Sovereign

Swish! Swish! The God Kings of the Abyss Divine Court present, such as God King Chenmo, God King Mohai, God King Hongjiu, and others, turned to look at God King Xueye simultaneously.

In reality, they had long been curious.

Logically, the God Emperors had an agreement, so within the Divine Domain, the God Kings were very restrained.

Ordinary Celestials, even if they obtained some opportunities, such as top-tier God King weapons, God King inheritance, or some rare treasures, it was very difficult to attract God Kings to take action... After all, every God King could open a Dao, and even a 'first-step Dao-opening God King', looking at the vast number of eighth-level cultivators in the universe, belonged to the stronger ones.

It was hard to look down on the treasures of seventh-level cultivators.

What kind of treasure could make God King Xueye ignore the Imperial Agreement, ignore God King Xinyuan's threat, and even pay a great price to invite six God Kings...

Even treasures worth a hundred thousand Eternal Crystals would not be enough.

"Moyun."

"This involves my cultivation secret, and I have already made an Eternal Oath, so I cannot leak it." God King Xueye said in a low voice. "This time, I know Brother Mohai, Brother Hongjiu, and the others have suffered great losses... I will compensate for half of the losses."

With this, God King Hongjiu, God King Lieyan, and the others' expressions softened.

Normally, they were invited by God King Xueye to participate in the great battle, and they suffered damage themselves... Under the premise that God King Xueye had provided as much information as possible, they could have ignored it.

God King Xueye's willingness to compensate for half the losses was something they could accept.

The only one who still had a cold face was God King Mohai... What he cared about was not the loss, but the combat power of the lost true self.

This meant.

In the upcoming Abyss Gate, his true self must participate in the battle.

Otherwise, the Abyss God Emperor would definitely be dissatisfied, and he would likely end up like God King Can Jian, with no good outcome... Although God King Can Jian was temporarily fine.

But God King Mohai and God King Moyun both knew that the Abyss God Emperor was just looking for a suitable opportunity to use God King Can Jian one last time.

For God Emperors, so-called 'killing', the best way was not direct killing, but maximizing efficiency.

"You can't say anything at all?" God King Moyun frowned.

"I can't say." God King Xueye shook his head. "Moyun, you must understand, my loss is the greatest... I've said enough, I'm leaving."

Whoosh!

God King Xueye's avatar projection dissipated directly. The other God Kings saw this and left one after another, finally leaving only God King Moyun and God King Mohai.

"Moyun."

"It seems we all have to risk our lives this time." God King Mohai said in a low voice: "Participating in the battle with my true self, life and death are unpredictable."

"Life and death are on the line, perhaps this is our opportunity to become Emperors." God King Moyun said calmly. He had long ago decided that his true self would participate in the battle.

By now, he had completely thought it through.

"Yes."

"Becoming an Emperor... crossing from the third step to the fourth step, once successful, one can directly become an Emperor." God King Mohai's eyes also had a trace of longing.

Becoming an Emperor was not completely related to strength.

Although they were only God King peak strength, in terms of realm, they were already very close to becoming Emperors... one could say they were only a line away.

But this step was a natural chasm.

"However, God King Xinyuan's growth is too fast, the threat is truly great." God King Mohai sighed lightly: "It seems my Xinmeng Universe Realm is about to give birth to another God King invincible existence."

"God King invincible? That's not something for us to worry about; that's for the God Emperor to worry about." God King Moyun smiled: "Like Xueye, he must have a great secret... But since he doesn't want to say, let it be."

"Even the God Emperor doesn't care."

"Why do we care so much?" God King Moyun said softly: "Going to the Abyss Gate, I don't know if we can survive."

"We will." God King Mohai's eyes had a trace of longing.

Abyss Divine Court territory, a very ordinary star domain, where there were layers of massive arrays guarding it, making it difficult for outsiders to probe.

This was the Xueye Star Domain.

It was also God King Xueye's home star domain... As the only God King expert in the star domain, he was supreme here, and a single word could determine the fate of countless lives.

But now, he was extremely troubled.

"The treasure, lost."

"Even the only token fragment I had is lost." God King Xueye's only true self was in the deepest part of a planet: "Plotting for so many years, only to fail."

"Moreover, the matter has become so big, that God King Xinyuan, even if he doesn't understand the token, will likely report it to the Chaos Divine Court's God Emperor." God King Xueye thought to himself.

With a God Emperor's vision, it was possible to see the clues.

"I must report to the Holy Ancestor." God King Xueye knew he had no way out, his mind moved, and he used a special communication treasure.

Transmitting to a very distant space-time.

That was another space-time dimension... After a long time, there was a response: "Xueye, how did the matter go?"

"Reporting to the Holy Ancestor, I failed."

"I didn't get the token fragment... and the one I had is also lost." God King Xueye said helplessly: "I hope the Holy Ancestor will forgive me."

"Trash!"

The Holy Ancestor's voice carried coldness and anger: "What exactly is the situation, how could your token be lost?"

In the distant space-time.

That was a vast world, also with many star domains... although far less vast and prosperous than the Xinmeng Universe Realm, it was ultimately a universe realm.

In the source land of the universe realm, time was gathered, and a tall green figure sat cross-legged.

His aura was ethereal.

His life aura was as vast as the tide... and the time around him seemed to be frozen, the passage of time seeming to have no meaning to him.

However.

In his majestic aura, the Eternal Dao shrouded heaven and earth, but it was mixed with a trace of mysterious fluctuations, and these fluctuations were filled with deathly aura.

It was just very weak, and even existences of the same level would not be able to detect most of it.

"It's God King Xinyuan."

"I followed your instructions and tried not to provoke a war, so I invited..." God King Xueye quickly told the cause and effect: "I also used the authority you bestowed on the broken token to confirm the location of the other broken token... but God King Xinyuan didn't know what method he used, he actually dodged my probe."

"A battle."

"He relied on an Imperial Weapon to exert God King perfection strength, slaughtering our seven God Kings, and even God King Mohai died in battle." God King Xueye said hurriedly.

"Imperial Weapon? What Imperial Weapon? According to your judgment, how does his strength compare to God King Xueyan?" The tall green figure asked.

"The Imperial Weapon is shaped like a divine spear. I can only feel the Imperial might, but I cannot confirm what level of Imperial Weapon it is." God King Xueye transmitted: "According to the judgment of the God Kings of my Abyss Divine Court... God King Xinyuan's strength should be a notch stronger than God King Xueyan."

"Stronger than God King Xueyan?" The tall green figure pondered: "God King Xinyuan?"

He also knew something about the Xinmeng Universe Realm.

God King Xinyuan, he also knew, and not long ago, he had communicated with another Holy Ancestor... The other party was a peerless monster with hope of reaching the Emperor level!

And had multiple God Emperors as backers.

The tall green figure knew that things were troublesome... wanting to seize it directly from the other party's hands by force was almost impossible.

"Holy Ancestor."

"I'm just worried, will the three God Emperors of the Chaos Divine Court see the clues?" God King Xueye was quite worried: "Will the news leak?"

What he worried about most.

Was that the Abyss God Emperor would know he had defected to the Holy Ancestor... One must know, although God Kings could theoretically protect themselves, the God Kings of the Abyss Divine Court all walked the Abyss path, and their relationship with the Abyss God Emperor was very special.

If the Abyss God Emperor wanted to kill them, he had more ways.

Moreover!

Every God King, once approaching the lifespan limit, if they wanted to survive, they had to defect to a God Emperor and entrust themselves to the other party's universe realm space-time.

"This is not something you need to consider. Rest assured, the Abyss God Emperor will not know." The tall green figure transmitted coldly: "You, immediately go and contact God King Xinyuan."

"Tell him."

"You are willing to spend 1 million Eternal Crystals to exchange for the two token fragments."

"1 million Eternal Crystals." God King Xueye was shocked.

All his wealth and treasures combined were far less than 1 million Eternal Crystals.

"Go immediately!"

Within the Xinmeng Universe Realm.

Swish! Swish!

Li Yuan took Liu Bing and performed ultra-high-speed void movements, rushing toward the Chaos Divine Court direction. The outcome of this battle was enough to satisfy him.

While communicating with the many divine courts of the Chaos Divine Court in the Xinmeng Divine Realm, Li Yuan also divided his mind to constantly probe the treasures left behind by the seven God Kings.

"Sea Spirit Pearl?"

"This divine artifact is special, actually able to turn one's divine body into a blood river, and the resilience of the divine body becomes equivalent to a top-tier God King weapon?" Li Yuan sighed inwardly.

This treasure was similar to a battle armor, but more magical than ordinary battle armor.

It was a pity that it had little use for Li Yuan... Cultivating both 《Chaos Precious Body》 and 《Undying Body》 made Li Yuan's divine body and divine grid resilience even higher than this river of blood.

Once Li Yuan stepped into the God King realm, this Sea Spirit Pearl would be even more useless.

"This is a secret treasure combining the Life Dao and the Slaughter Dao." Li Yuan thought to himself: "Perhaps, I can let my senior brother take a look... If he doesn't need it, I'll sell it for Eternal Crystals."

Li Yuan estimated that this Sea Spirit Pearl should be able to exchange for over 200,000 Eternal Crystals.

It couldn't compare to the most top-tier God King weapons, but it was still extraordinary.

As for the treasures of the other God Kings? Li Yuan probed slightly, and initially estimated that all of them combined likely weren't worth 50,000 or 60,000 Eternal Crystals.

This was the norm.

Most God Kings venturing outside, if there was a danger of falling, besides carrying some weapons, would not carry extra treasures.

"God King Xueye's treasures." Li Yuan's main energy was still placed on the items left behind by God King Xueye.

Suddenly.

"Palace Master Xinyuan, I am God King Xueye." A voice rang out in the depths of Li Yuan's soul.

It was a causal transmission.

"Xueye, what is it?" Li Yuan said coldly: "Are you trying to threaten me?"

"Palace Master Xinyuan is joking." God King Xueye was no longer arrogant, his voice carrying a trace of humility: "Your strength is heaven-shaking, how would I dare to threaten you? This time, targeting Celestial Qing Tian Bing was my mistake... I was also forced, I hope you can forgive me."

"I also paid the price."

God King Xueye's attitude made Li Yuan feel surprised, but even more vigilant.

Although he had exerted super combat power... but what kind of existence was a God King? Even if they feared him in their hearts, there was no need to be so humble.

"Xueye, speak if you have something to say." Li Yuan said coldly.

"Very well."

"Then I will speak directly. I want to exchange back the two 'Age Demon Star token fragments'." God King Xueye said 'sincerely': "I won't hide it from you, these two token fragments have no use for Palace Master Xinyuan; they are broken... but they are very important to me."

"I am willing to pay 500,000 Eternal Crystals." God King Xueye said solemnly: "How about it?"

"500,000 Eternal Crystals? You are truly willing, and wealthy enough." Li Yuan sneered: "But do you think I will exchange?"

"Palace Master Xinyuan."

"I have been completely honest. You can take the token and ask your Chaos Divine Court's God Emperor... This thing is indeed useless to you." God King Xueye said hurriedly: "You exchange useless things for 500,000 Eternal Crystals, it is very cost-effective. If you have any other conditions, just say them."

God King Xueye truly wanted to reach an agreement with Li Yuan.

Although the Holy Ancestor gave him a limit of 1 million Eternal Crystals... that was the bottom line. If he offered the highest price at the beginning, there would be no room for maneuver.

"Just say them?"

"Haha, very well!" Li Yuan sneered: "I need an Imperial Weapon... If you have an Imperial Weapon, I am willing to trade with you."

"Otherwise, don't dream about it."

Hum~

Li Yuan directly cut off the causal transmission.

Li Yuan was actually very surprised in his heart.

500,000 Eternal Crystals? Could a second-step God King afford that?

"Could it be that his backer is the Abyss God Emperor?" Li Yuan secretly doubted: "But if it were the Abyss God Emperor, if he truly wanted to plot for it, he could have taken action against Xiao Bing silently, and Xiao Bing would have had no power to resist."

A God King's action would easily leave traces.

But a God Emperor taking action against a Celestial, unless that Celestial had another God Emperor watching over them, everything could be completed silently.

"Moreover, he mentioned two?" Li Yuan's mouth revealed a smile, continuing to search the treasures left behind by God King Xueye.

A while later.

Finally, Li Yuan flipped his palm, and another Black Demon Tombstone fragment appeared in his palm... This fragment was slightly smaller, and one side of the fragment was also somewhat smooth and curved.

"Not two adjacent fragments?" Li Yuan tried to put the two fragments together, but failed.

"Moreover."

"I still can't refine this fragment, I can't get useful information, and the two fragments don't seem to be able to sense each other." Li Yuan frowned slightly.

Everything was still a mystery.

Quickly.

Li Yuan transmitted this matter to Xiao Mu.

"Two fragments?" Xiao Mu became interested, observing slightly: "They should be from the same source, they should belong to the same Black Demon Tombstone."

"Same one? Are you sure?" Li Yuan couldn't help but ask.

"Believe me."

"Brother Beihe obtained two complete ones in the Black Demon Corpse Realm, and I have seen many more in the Black Demon Corpse Realm, but I couldn't get my hands on them... Black Demon Tombstones have commonalities, but each one also has a different source aura." Xiao Mu said with certainty.

Suddenly.

"I seem to understand something."

"Your two Black Demon Tombstone fragments are both edge fragments, with no tombstone core." Xiao Mu said, seemingly thinking of something: "Brother Beihe's two complete ones had complete source auras... filled with death aura, but the tombstone itself gave people a sense of perfection."

"Tombstone core?" Li Yuan was puzzled.

"Back then, Brother Beihe obtained a complete Black Demon Tombstone, but after passing through the Black Demon Corpse Realm once, he found no clues about the bronze coffin, so he didn't continue to investigate... He also didn't break the Black Demon Tombstone." Xiao Mu said: "So, I am only guessing that the Black Demon Tombstone should have a core source, just like a divine artifact."

"After all, the Black Demon Corpse Realm itself is extremely dangerous, and even a Supreme would be embarrassed, so there is very little relevant information."

Li Yuan pondered.

Xiao Mu's analysis made sense.

If there was a tombstone core, then the other party locking onto his Black Demon Tombstone fragment... while he was completely unaware, was very reasonable.

"Xiao Mu, what should I do?" Li Yuan asked.

"Haha!"

"Don't do anything. Regardless of what God King Xueye has... you don't lack 500,000 Eternal Crystals, and the two Black Demon Tombstone fragments will be useful when you step into the God King realm, don't rush." Xiao Mu laughed.

Li Yuan nodded slightly.

Obviously, Xiao Mu knew the other uses of the Black Demon Tombstone fragments.

"If I asked my master directly, I fear my master might not even confirm this is a Black Demon Tombstone." Li Yuan thought to himself.

If he knew nothing.

He might truly be seduced by the price God King Xueye gave, and might even be willing to trade.

In the distant space-time.

"Failed?"

"Want an Imperial Weapon? This God King Xinyuan is truly greedy." The tall green figure's eyes flashed with coldness: "Damn it."

He had already received God King Xueye's transmission.

"Forget it."

"Xueye, you don't need to intervene in this matter for now, continue to cultivate with peace of mind." The tall green figure transmitted coldly.

"Yes." God King Xueye said.

The communication between the two was cut off.

Pondering for a moment.

The tall green figure closed his eyes, and with a thought, his true self in another vast space-time had already taken action.

This was in another space-time dimension.

It was two dimensions from the normal universe.

Here, it was one of the eternal relics, the 'Undying World'... endless gloomy starry seas, with one vast continent after another.

There were countless powerful and bloody brutal native lives here!

There were also many experts from various dark domains venturing and adventuring, establishing one massive star city after another as 'safe strongholds'.

In the deep space-time of the Undying World.

On a completely dark vast continent, swish~ a green-robed phantom condensed and formed. He stepped across the void, and along the way, a dark creature noticed his existence.

"Roar!"

"Ang!"

"Kill!"

"Roar~" Roars rose one after another on the dark continent, countless bloody eyes staring at the figure in the void, filled with slaughter and desire to devour.

"Abyss creature."

"This demon cave... is truly uncomfortable." The green-robed phantom frowned slightly. Although he had stepped onto the Abyss path, he considered himself far more noble than these abyss creatures.

Moving forward all the way.

Unimpeded, even some abyss creatures with terrifying auras far exceeding God Kings did not dare to block, taking the initiative to move aside.

Until the depths of the continent.

Here, there was an ancient temple. On the temple walls, countless strange blood flowed—destruction, slaughter, devouring, life... strange fluctuations intertwined, weird and unpredictable.

The temple stood there like an abyss, wanting to devour everything.

"Sovereign Youwu." The green-robed phantom bowed slightly, his voice transmitting to the depths of the palace.

"Yushan." A low voice transmitted from the depths of the temple.

"The token the Sovereign asked me to collect has encountered trouble." The green-robed phantom said: "Nine tokens, the other seven were very smooth, but the last two..."

Quickly, the green-robed phantom told the cause and effect.

And also told Li Yuan's detailed intelligence.

"God King Xinyuan?"

"Cultivating for only two thousand years, and has God King perfection strength? The Xinmeng Universe Realm has actually given birth to another peerless monster. It is worthy of being a universe realm that has successively given birth to two Supremes, truly with endless potential." The low voice carried a trace of emotion: "Beichen Star? If I remember correctly, that was the Dao field of Supreme Beihe back then."

"Could it be a disciple of Supreme Beihe? Supreme Beihe, once slaughtered one Abyss Ancestral Land after another until they were wiped out." The low voice said.

"He should also have a certain relationship with Xinmeng." The green-robed phantom said.

"Yes."

"God Emperor Xinmeng is an existence who opened the 'Dream Universe' and has a special connection with the Eternal Divine Palace... In the vast universe, there are not many who can make me fear, and he is one." The low voice said slowly.

The green-robed phantom listened.

For billions of years, many experts in the dark domains of the vast universe knew the terrifying aspects of God Emperor Xinmeng. His frontal combat strength was not strong.

However, no one knew where his ultimate means were.

Just like this time, if the Abyss God Emperor hadn't erupted, who would have known he possessed such heaven-defying means as 'Purifying World Universe Flame'?

"Star God cultivation system is the strongest divine body system, with huge potential." The low voice said: "This Black Demon Tombstone, I had already gathered most of it, leaving only the last nine fragments..."

"What a pity."

"Should I give up?" The green-robed figure asked.

"Take it slow, don't be too anxious."

"This God King Xinyuan, he will eventually come to the Undying World. By then, I will have my own way to deal with him... Hehe, just a God King, no matter how heaven-defying his strength is, he is at most at the threshold of a God Emperor. As long as I invade and control one of his true selves and capture him, I can force him to trade." The low voice laughed.

"Moreover."

"The Abyss Gate is about to open. Those eighth-level cultivators under your command, have you considered whether to trade with me?"
