Chapter 769: Fire Kun Supreme? Ancient Ruins (6k)

Compared to the treasures worth 15 billion Eternal Crystals, what Li Yuan wanted to know more in his heart was why this Ancient Spirit tribe would keep ambushing him.

According to common sense, a team with his strength shouldn't be ambushed continuously.

"The reason?"

In the distant void, a trace of hesitation flashed in the eyes of the Black Ancient Spirit named Huoluo, and then it said in a low voice: "Fine, I won't hide it from you. Actually, Xinyuan Quasi-Saint, you probably have some guesses in your heart."

"It's the attraction," Huoluo said solemnly.

Attraction? Li Yuan was thoughtful.

And the Juexing God Emperor and the Starry Sky God Emperor on the side both showed confusion.

"I think you all know that if our Ancient Spirit race kills you cosmic practitioners and devours your divine bodies and souls, we will get many benefits, pushing our origin to evolve and allowing us to cross into a higher level," Huoluo looked at Li Yuan.

"Hmm," Li Yuan nodded.

This was also the root cause of the endless years of fighting between the Ancient Spirit race and cosmic practitioners, and in the foreseeable future, it could not be solved.

Cosmic powerhouses wanted the treasures collected by the Ancient Spirits.

The Ancient Spirit race wanted the lives of cosmic powerhouses.

There was no right or wrong, strength was respected, and the winner took all.

"Normally speaking, the more powerful the cosmic practitioner, the greater the benefit to us if we kill them," Huoluo said. "But you are completely different. In terms of realm, although your strength is strong, you are only a low-rank Quasi-Saint. Logically speaking, an Emperor Realm Ancient Spirit wouldn't get any benefits from killing you."

Li Yuan listened.

Ancient Spirits killing cosmic powerhouses could evolve, which sounded good, but in reality, it wasn't that easy. The advantages of Ancient Spirits were similar to the Divine Guards of the Immortal Temple, possessing incomparably long lifespans. As long as their own heart and will did not collapse, they could live forever.

After all, within the Eternal Ruins, cosmic rules did not exist and were not bound by the River of Time.

But the disadvantages of the Ancient Spirit race were also obvious, that was, they only had one true body, and they couldn't cultivate multiple true bodies.

Even, they couldn't use Emperor Weapons.

Under normal circumstances, the targets of Emperor Realm Ancient Spirits were generally existences who had opened up the Eternal Dao to the fourth step, that is, Emperor Realm powerhouses. Low-rank Quasi-Saints? They were too lazy to bother.

"But in reality."

"Whether it's the Emperor Realm White Ancient Spirits under my command, or me, as long as we get close to you within a certain range, we will feel an irrepressible desire to devour... You are like a supreme delicacy attracting us," Huoluo revealed this secret.

"As a Black Ancient Spirit, I can barely control my desires."

"But like the White Ancient Spirits, most of them are accustomed to acting on instinct. Unless you erupt with strength enough to threaten their lives, otherwise, they will all be unable to help but come to attack you," Huoluo said solemnly.

In fact.

Huoluo still hid some information.

For example, the guidance of fate in the dark told it that as long as it killed and devoured Li Yuan's true body, it would have a great hope of crossing into the Sovereign level.

However.

Just based on the information it revealed, Li Yuan, the Juexing God Emperor, and the Starry Sky God Emperor were plunged into long-lasting unease and confusion.

"Xinyuan Quasi-Saint, these are treasures worth 15 billion Eternal Crystals, please count them," Huoluo continued.

Whoosh!

Huoluo flipped its palm, and several cave magic treasures flew over instantly. The two sides were quite far apart, so these treasures flew in the water area for a while before flying in front of Li Yuan.

Li Yuan reached out and grabbed them, his palm growing rapidly, grabbing several cave magic treasures at the same time.

With a thought, he investigated them. Among them were several medium-grade Emperor Weapons, as well as many precious treasures produced in the Ancient Ruins of the Changhe.

The total value of these treasures, even if not quite 15 billion Eternal Crystals, was not much different.

"Xinyuan Quasi-Saint, I have expressed my sincerity, I believe that with your status, you will also keep your promise," Huoluo stared at Li Yuan.

It was also gambling!

As an Ancient Spirit, it didn't deduce the Eternal Dao. Its strength came from the endowment of the power of the Ancient Ruins of the Changhe.

Therefore, these Emperor Weapons were of little use to it. They were spoils of war from killing other cosmic practitioners. The biggest advantage of Emperor Weapons was just that they were tough enough.

Even for Black Ancient Spirits, when fighting, they relied more on themselves and instinct.

Li Yuan stared at Huoluo and suddenly smiled: "I naturally keep my promise."

Whoosh!

Li Yuan waved his hand, the other true body put away the World Domain and also stopped the continuous soul attacks. The Starry Sky God Emperor and the Juexing God Emperor also put away their means.

"Leave quickly."

"Go." The many Emperor Realm White Ancient Spirits who had fallen into deep sleep immediately recovered their clarity. Their bodies, which originally felt the pressure of a world, also became relaxed. Immediately, dozens of White Ancient Spirits turned into streams of light and fled towards the distance in panic.

Only a moment later.

The many White Ancient Spirits surrounded Huoluo, each kneeling on the ground to show submission.

"A bunch of trash! Still needing me to save you," Huoluo roared in a low voice, making the many White Ancient Spirits even more respectful, not daring to lift their heads at all.

After saying that.

Huoluo lifted its head again and looked at Li Yuan from afar: "Xinyuan Quasi-Saint, in my territory, I won't hunt you down again, but once you leave my territory, other Black Ancient Spirits might not be as easy to talk to as I am. I will take my leave."

Immediately~ Clatter~

Beneath Huoluo, a huge palace was born out of thin air. The palace aura was vast, and then it and the many Emperor Realm White Ancient Spirits dived into it.

Rumble~ The palace moved, and the water flow along the way had no obstacles at all, making the palace's speed faster and faster, even a notch faster than the Starry Sky God Emperor's normal flight speed, and it quickly headed towards the deeper part of the Void River.

Not long after, this palace disappeared from the sensing range of Li Yuan and his companions, and this vast water area also quieted down.

"This Black Ancient Spirit retreated quite decisively," Li Yuan transmitted. "Xiaomu, you say, is the information this Black Ancient Spirit said true or false?"

Xiaomu's incarnation of the Universe Realm Holy Spirit had been following the main battle true body.

"It's highly likely to be true, otherwise it's difficult to explain the reason," Xiaomu transmitted. "Huoluo is willing to tell you, probably because it doesn't want to offend you, worrying that you will be ambushed later and hold a grudge against it."

Li Yuan was startled.

A Black Ancient Spirit, not wanting to offend him?

"Li Yuan, don't belittle yourself. Throughout the history of the universe, as long as a low-rank Quasi-Saint can erupt with peak Emperor Realm combat power, as long as they don't fall midway, the weakest will achieve the Sovereign level, and most will eventually achieve the Supreme level, or even surpass the Supreme level," Xiaomu said solemnly. "So, when the news of your battle with the Abyss Sovereign spread, many Emperor Realm powerhouses in the Heart Dream Universe Realm were willing to submit."

"Similarly!"

"These powerhouses in the Eternal Ruins, although trapped in one place, leading to limitations in their horizons, their long lifespans make up for this. Not to mention anything else... once you cross into the Emperor Realm in the future, replicating the feat of Brother Beihe sweeping across the Ancient Spirit Ruin Realm back then is not a difficult task."

"This Huoluo also knows that you have multiple true bodies, so naturally it worries that you will retaliate against it in the future, so it's possible it wants to explain clearly to you in advance," Xiaomu said.

Li Yuan nodded slightly. If this Huoluo had the ability to kill him, it probably wouldn't be soft-hearted.

But since it couldn't kill him, resolving the grudge became the most normal choice.

"You told me to stop just now, did you think it was difficult to kill it?" Li Yuan asked again via transmission.

The reason he was willing to stop and negotiate was also Xiaomu's suggestion.

Otherwise, according to Li Yuan's own temperament, he would definitely try to see if he could kill this Black Ancient Spirit directly, or at least chase it for a while. How could he be willing to negotiate directly?

"Hmm."

"Black Ancient Spirits have extremely strong self-preservation abilities. It can have so many Emperor Realm White Ancient Spirits as subordinates, it must have a water mansion to protect it... The palace that appeared at the end is the Ancient Spirit Water Mansion, and the power of the Water Mansion is extremely strong," Xiaomu explained. "If you want to kill it, relying only on you and the Starry Sky God Emperor won't work."

"After all, your sustained combat power is not enough, and the Starry Sky God Emperor's consumption is also huge... and your soul attack has little effect on Black Ancient Spirits."

Li Yuan pondered.

Indeed, his material attack seemed terrifying, but in the "Burning Heart" state, the consumption of the power of the Void Realm was too astonishing.

If they really fought for a long time, the hope of killing the opponent was very slim.

"At least all nine Emperor Realm puppets must come out, and even then, success cannot be fully guaranteed."

"This is your trump card, are you willing to expose it now?" Xiaomu asked. "Once you expose it, even if you can really kill it, this Black Ancient Spirit will definitely spread the news before it dies."

Li Yuan shook his head gently.

The nine peak Emperor Realm puppets were treasures that even a trillion Eternal Crystals would be hard to exchange for... This level of treasure, even the Supreme Universe Alliance would be hard to exchange.

Unless in a desperate situation, Li Yuan would not expose them.

Only a hidden trump card could play a huge role at a critical moment.

"No matter what, you have already made a huge profit," Xiaomu said with emotion. "15 billion Eternal Crystals... If you had to roam the Ancient Ruins to harvest them yourself, you would have to work hard for a long time, and if you were unlucky, your true body would fall."

"It's just that the Ancient Spirits, as indigenous lifeforms, have harvested a large number of treasures born in the Ancient Ruins of the Changhe over long years," Xiaomu said. "Each one's wealth is astonishing. A Black Ancient Spirit, possessing treasures worth hundreds of billions of Eternal Crystals, is very normal."

Even the weakest type of Black Ancient Spirit, like Huoluo, had accumulated astonishing wealth, generally much richer than peak Emperor Realm powerhouses among cosmic practitioners.

When Li Yuan and Xiaomu were communicating secretly.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Both the Juexing God Emperor and the Starry Sky God Emperor flew to the side of Li Yuan's main battle true body.

"Congratulations, Alliance Leader, your strength has greatly improved," the Starry Sky God Emperor said quite excitedly, his face full of joy.

He only felt that his heart was somewhat dreamy.

Before, although he submitted to Li Yuan and even offered three drops of Abyss Blood, for him, it was a huge price to pay.

But subconsciously, he considered himself to be stronger than Li Yuan's current strength.

Before Li Yuan erupted with full force, the Starry Sky God Emperor just wanted to deepen their relationship through a life-and-death experience and pave the way for the future.

But who would have thought.

Li Yuan didn't erupt if he didn't want to, but once he did, it was earth-shattering, completely beyond his imagination, not only easily killing a large number of Emperor Realm White Ancient Spirits.

It even scared that Black Ancient Spirit into not wanting to come forward to fight and directly bowing its head.

"Disciple! Impressive!"

"In terms of material attack, even compared to Chaos, you probably aren't much inferior," the Juexing God Emperor laughed loudly. "With such strength, once you cross into the Emperor Realm, just the transformation of your divine body alone will give you the combat power to reach the Sovereign level."

"If the news spreads, I'm afraid the entire universe will be shocked again," the Juexing God Emperor sighed, full of pride.

Such a peerless monster was actually his disciple.

Li Yuan couldn't help but smile when he heard this. If his strength was comparable to a Sovereign after breaking through?

This was not an empty word.

In terms of divine body and divine power, the gap between the peak Emperor Realm and the Sovereign level was very small, generally comparable to the ten-star-pulse divine body level. Sovereigns would be stronger, but not by much. This was a limit of the Emperor Realm divine body.

And in terms of realm, Sovereigns had opened up an extra Eternal Dao to the fourth step, had more means, and the cooperation between them was more terrifying... but in terms of absolute power, there was not much improvement.

Therefore, the gap in strength between Sovereigns and peak Emperor Realm powerhouses was generally not that exaggerated and was not insurmountable.

In a sense, ten ordinary Emperor Realm powerhouses were hard to match one peak Emperor Realm powerhouse.

But if ten peak Emperor Realm powerhouses joined forces, facing a Sovereign, even if they were not a match, they could definitely contend for a long time.

And the gap between Sovereigns and Supremes would be even greater.

Because Supremes had an essential leap in the Eternal Dao, and their divine bodies would also leap to a major level, at least comparable to the 'perfect ten-star-pulse' level, plus more powerful Emperor Weapons... If it were a fair fight, Supremes could easily kill Sovereigns.

Like Li Yuan.

Once he broke through, after his divine body transformed! Not to mention anything else, just his divine body and divine power would be more terrifying than many newly promoted Supremes... It was incomparably normal to rival Sovereigns.

However.

Li Yuan knew that in Master Juexing's heart, he might think that he was very close to crossing into the Emperor Realm, but only he himself understood... there was still a long way to go before breaking through to become an Emperor.

"After all, it's still just the peak Emperor Realm level," Li Yuan smiled.

"Alliance Leader, don't be humble," the Starry Sky God Emperor shook his head. "Is the strength of a newly entered Eighth-Rank Quasi-Saint the same as that of a peak Eighth-Rank Quasi-Saint? The latter can easily defeat the former."

"Moreover."

"Alliance Leader, your soul attack is so terrifying, did you open up the Heart-Weapon Dao?" the Starry Sky God Emperor seemed unable to help but ask.

"Hmm," Li Yuan did not deny it. ===== CHAPTER 770 =====
