Chapter 777: Strong! Sovereign Appears (5k)

Since the battle with Huoluo, traveling in the Void River for several months, there had been no Ancient Spirit interception, making Li Yuan almost forget that he would cause the Ancient Spirits' desire to devour.

"Since there were no more Ancient Spirits encountered, it's highly likely that the Heart Dream God Emperor helped secretly," Li Yuan thought to himself. "It's possible that some Ancient Spirit Sovereign or even a Supreme Ancient Spirit issued an order."

Being able to make a large number of Ancient Spirits along the way "disappear" was definitely an order issued by a Black Ancient Spirit with a very high status.

Otherwise, even a Supreme among cosmic practitioners couldn't command so many Ancient Spirits.

As for how the Heart Dream God Emperor did it, Li Yuan didn't care.

"But now encountering three Black Ancient Spirits, there are two possibilities," many thoughts flashed through Li Yuan's mind: "First, I have left the 'safe area' promised by the Heart Dream God Emperor, and on the road ahead, the Ancient Spirits I encounter will all come to ambush me."

"But this possibility is low. After all, I haven't even entered the Ancient Ruin Seas, and there is still a distance to reach Demon Heart Lake."

"Second, I am still in the safe area, but the birth of the Ancient Ruins disrupted the Heart Dream God Emperor's arrangements, attracting a large number of Ancient Spirits from nearby to head to the Ancient Ruins, and they happened to meet me," Li Yuan thought to himself.

These Ancient Spirits might have received orders not to go out hunting temporarily, but they themselves didn't know of Li Yuan's existence.

They appeared now, likely just rushing to the Ancient Ruins and happened to meet Li Yuan.

"According to what Huoluo said, my attraction to Ancient Spirits is huge... Once we meet, even if a high-level Ancient Spirit really issued an order, I'm afraid these Ancient Spirits will find it difficult to suppress the desire in their hearts," Li Yuan thought quickly.

No matter which situation it was.

It only meant one thing... the journey to Demon Heart Lake would no longer be calm, and anything could happen.

"Go!"

Li Yuan turned into a stream of light and fled quickly, trying to avoid the water mansion palace led by the three Black Ancient Spirits.

"Want to flee?"

"Such a fast speed, is this a low-rank Quasi-Saint? Even an Emperor Realm powerhouse wouldn't have such a fast flight speed."

"Don't think about fleeing, obediently become our food." Harsh voices transmitted through space, obviously Li Yuan's flight speed surprised them.

After all, there was no Emperor prestige on Li Yuan.

Boom~ The water mansion's movement speed was even more astonishing, far exceeding Li Yuan, which also made the distance between the two sides closer and closer.

"Haha! Competing with us Ancient Spirits in speed in the Ancient Ruins of the Changhe?"

"Truly ridiculous." Harsh voices sounded again, continuously transmitting to Li Yuan's mind, trying to interfere with Li Yuan.

Li Yuan frowned slightly. In terms of head-on combat strength, he was superior to the Starry Sky God Emperor.

But in terms of flight speed and time-space shuttle means, he was indeed inferior to the Starry Sky God Emperor... and at this moment, he was also inferior to the three Black Ancient Spirits who occupied the home-field advantage.

Moreover, the water mansion, as the companion treasure of the Black Ancient Spirit, was also truly formidable.

"You three!" Li Yuan suddenly shouted sharply: "So bold and reckless, aren't you afraid of being punished? Get lost!"

Under a roar.

That water mansion palace seemed to be frightened, and its speed instantly plummeted by a large margin.

"Did I guess right?" Li Yuan's heart stirred. He was also gambling, gambling that these Black Ancient Spirits had really received similar orders.

On the water mansion palace, the three Black Ancient Spirits, who were still fierce just now, were all startled when they heard Li Yuan's transmission and roar.

"Weina, Taifeng, the situation is not good. This cosmic practitioner seems to know the order of the Supreme Ancient Spirit," one Black Ancient Spirit said in a low voice. "Should we... give up the pursuit?"

"It's possible that the Supreme Ancient Spirit issued the order because of this cosmic practitioner."

The three Black Ancient Spirits were rushing to the Ancient Ruins after sensing the birth of the Ancient Ruins... On the way, they sensed Li Yuan's existence.

Facing the desire to devour from the soul, the three of them could no longer suppress it, so they decided to take action.

But Li Yuan's shout instantly woke them up, making them instantly think of the Supreme Ancient Spirit's order... No ambushing cosmic practitioners in the near future.

"Give up?"

"But! Yanxiong, the guidance of fate in the dark is telling me that if I can kill and devour this practitioner... I will definitely be able to cross into the Sovereign level," the Black Ancient Spirit named Weina, who had a shocking scar on its face, had a struggle in its eyes.

"He isn't even in the Emperor Realm, how strong can his strength be? As long as we charge up, he will definitely die," Weina roared.

"Sovereign?" Another Black Ancient Spirit named Taifeng also had endless longing in its eyes.

As Black Ancient Spirits, as long as they passed the juvenile period, they would be peak Emperor Realm powerhouses when they reached adulthood.

But after that, wanting to cross into the Sovereign level was too difficult.

"Killing this cosmic practitioner is easy, but once the Supreme knows, what will be our end?" The most rational Yanxiong restrained the desire in its heart.

It also longed to devour Li Yuan incomparably, and fate was also guiding it. This seemed to be a great opportunity to cross into the Sovereign level.

However!

As the one with the longest lifespan among the three Black Ancient Spirits, it knew better the terror of the Supreme Ancient Spirit. Defying the other party's order, once known... in order to maintain its own majesty, the Supreme Ancient Spirit would chase them to the ends of the Ancient Ruins of the Changhe.

"Supreme Ancient Spirit?" Weina flashed a fierce light in its eyes: "Forget it, I don't believe that a little guy who isn't even in the Emperor Realm can have a connection with Fire Kun Supreme... Devour him as quickly as possible, who would know!"

"As long as I can cross into the Sovereign Realm, at worst, I'll just defect to other Supreme Ancient Spirits."

"Act," Weina roared. It had cultivated for less time than Yanxiong, but its strength was the most powerful among the three Ancient Spirits.

It relied on cruelty and madness.

Boom! Weina had a thought, and the water mansion palace, whose speed had slowed down, soared in speed again, continuing to kill towards Li Yuan.

"Yanxiong, we three brothers..." Taifeng transmitted.

"Taifeng, if you want to accompany Weina to go crazy, then go," Yanxiong roared, trying its best to restrain the last trace of desire in its heart.

Whoosh!

Instantly detaching from the water mansion, its huge body roared and turned into multiple silver lights, merging into the water flow, and quickly fled towards the distance.

It didn't want to provoke the punishment of the Supreme Ancient Spirit.

"Yanxiong..." Taifeng transmitted hurriedly.

"Don't call it, a coward," Weina, with a scar on its face, gritted its teeth and roared: "Once we devour that cosmic practitioner and cross into the Sovereign Realm... it will naturally understand how ridiculously wrong it was."

A trace of hesitation flashed in Taifeng's eyes.

But in just an instant, the desire to cross into the Sovereign Realm suppressed the fear in its heart. Most importantly, it also didn't believe that a low-rank Quasi-Saint could have a connection with a Supreme Ancient Spirit.

"My words scared away one Black Ancient Spirit? The other two Black Ancient Spirits still want to continue hunting me down?" Li Yuan's heart stirred.

Scaring away one was one.

After all, any Black Ancient Spirit was at least a peak Emperor Realm powerhouse, which was very difficult to deal with... Unless it was a last resort, Li Yuan didn't want to expose his trump card.

Only a moment later.

Even if Li Yuan tried his best to flee, he was still completely caught up by the water mansion that had merged into the water area, and the distance between the two sides was incomparably close.

"Water Prison Wave!" Weina didn't hesitate to manipulate the water mansion.

Swish~

The huge water mansion palace erupted instantly, and the ancient palace directly erupted with dazzling endless light, turning into dark red water waves all over the sky. In the blink of an eye, with the water mansion as the core, it formed a dark red water pattern tide covering a radius of ten million kilometers.

Like a super-large domain.

"Rumble~" Countless dark red water patterns, vast and mighty, continuously pressed towards Li Yuan, making Li Yuan's speed plummet continuously... At the same time, countless water patterns also tried to crush Li Yuan.

Li Yuan waved his hand and easily blocked the impact of the dark red water patterns.

"The domain of this water mansion is truly strong," Li Yuan's eyes were cold. "If my second true body appears and displays the World Domain, I guess I'm not a match, at most I can control a small area nearby."

Li Yuan's World Domain, displayed through the Original Intent, was extremely extraordinary in terms of Dao realm.

However, firstly, Li Yuan's divine body and divine power power were slightly inferior to the peak Emperor Realm Black Ancient Spirit, and secondly, Cold Flame Lake was only a medium-grade Emperor Weapon, which was difficult to compare with the Black Ancient Spirit's water mansion.

According to the intelligence Li Yuan knew, the Black Ancient Spirit's water mansion could be offensive and defensive. Although its value was not as good as a top-grade Emperor Weapon, it was far superior to an upper-grade Emperor Weapon.

Black Ancient Spirits only had one magic treasure, the water mansion, but it was worth multiple Emperor Weapons of practitioners.

Therefore, Li Yuan didn't erupt at all... He had to find an opportunity to be able to rush out of the encirclement or even suppress and kill the opponent.

However, Li Yuan was not anxious in his heart. If it really reached a dangerous moment, he would directly release the nine Emperor Realm puppets...

"Actually able to block my domain?"

"Be careful, this low-rank quasi-saint is no ordinary one; his strength is likely approaching the level of an eighth-rank quasi-saint." A sense of vigilance instantly rose in Wei Na's heart.

It was brutal and reckless, but it was by no means stupid.

It knew clearly that for a low-rank quasi-saint in the universe to be able to exert his strength to such a level was absolutely rare; those in the current generation capable of doing so could be counted on one's fingers.

"Attack!" Tai Feng also gave the order.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Inside the water mansion, the nearly one hundred Emperor-level Ancient Spirits, who had long been unable to suppress the yearning in their hearts, moved instantly upon receiving the command.
