Chapter 780

"Yes, I obey the Supreme's command." Sovereign An Lu, Sovereign Master Lian Fu, and Sovereign Wu Tian all immediately stepped forward and said respectfully.

Under the command of Supreme Han Xing, there were seven Sovereigns.

Each Sovereign had multiple true bodies, and those with many true bodies even had nine... but there were actually not many who stayed in the Changhe Ancient Ruins for a long time.

Eternal Relics like the Changhe Ancient Ruins, the Immortal World, the Abyss, and the Heavenly Demon Mountain all had relatively stable environments, among which the Immortal World was the most stable and safe.

Because of this, these Eternal Relics had gathered a large number of low-rank quasi-saints and Emperor-level powerhouses from the universe over the long years; this was their paradise for extending their lives.

But on the other hand, precisely because the environments of these Eternal Relics were relatively stable, most places with the hope of giving birth to treasures had long been excavated, making it difficult to attract top-tier powerhouses.

Instead, Eternal Relics like the Reincarnation Lake, the Ancient Heavenly Court, and the Azure Heavens, which were extremely chaotic and could pose fatal dangers at any time, were more attractive to peak Emperor-level powerhouses and Sovereigns.

Danger often represents great treasure.

Chaos even more represents that the heavy treasures contained in these Eternal Relics could be born at any time.

Therefore, most Sovereigns in the universe focused their energy on Eternal Relics that seemed to be ranked lower and were chaotic and disorderly.

Low-rank quasi-saints, with no hope of breaking through, were mostly satisfied if they could live stably in an Eternal Relic for hundreds of millions of years or longer.

But Sovereigns, who were only one step away from achieving the Supreme level, how could they not yearn for a breakthrough?

Stability was not their pursuit.

Stepping into the Supreme level, and even ultimately transcending, was their unchanging obsession.

"Go." Supreme Han Xing waved his hand.

He did not order other Sovereigns to rush to the Changhe Ancient Ruins... even rushing from within the universe to the Changhe Ancient Ruins took time.

By the time other Sovereigns arrived at the Changhe Ancient Ruins to intercept Li Yuan, Li Yuan would have already entered the Demon Heart Lake, and the opportunity would have long since passed.

As for asking Sovereigns from other major forces to take action?

Supreme Han Xing was even more worried that the news would leak... After all, his binding power over other Sovereigns was very small; who knew if someone would take the initiative to send a message to curry favor with Li Yuan?

Sweeping his gaze over the seven Sovereigns under his command, Supreme Han Xing felt cold in his heart and pondered silently: "Xin Meng, I'm afraid you didn't expect that even if you used your means to make me temporarily unable to enter the Changhe Ancient Ruins again, I could still sense the location of Quasi-Saint Brother Brother Xinyuan."

"Brother Brother Xinyuan!"

"I hope you like the gift I've prepared for you."

Supreme Han Xing's incarnation dissipated, and the other Sovereigns also dispersed, leaving only Sovereign An Lu, Sovereign Master Lian Fu, and Sovereign Wu Tian.

At this moment, the three of them had received the message from Supreme Han Xing, and by comparing it with the map of the Ancient Ruins Sea, they were able to confirm Li Yuan's location.

"Such a fast movement speed."

"This Brother Brother Xinyuan's forward speed is likely not inferior to a Sovereign's." After a slight comparison, the three Sovereigns noticed the swiftness of Li Yuan's forward speed.

They were unaware of Sovereign Master Qing Qi's existence.

Or rather, to this day, there was no intelligence indicating that Li Yuan was together with Sovereign Master Qing Qi... but just from Li Yuan's forward speed, the three Sovereigns felt it was tricky.

"An Lu, Master Lian Fu."

"According to Quasi-Saint Brother Brother Xinyuan's forward speed, he will likely arrive at the Heart Demon Lake in about ten days... and it will take me twenty days to arrive even if I rush with all my might." Sovereign Wu Tian said softly: "If you want to intercept and kill him, it mainly depends on the two of you."

"Wu Tian, we understand the situation; Master Lian Fu and I will do our best." Sovereign An Lu said solemnly.

In terms of status, Sovereign An Lu was recognized as the number one among the seven Sovereigns, but he was quite respectful toward Sovereign Wu Tian.

Because Sovereign An Lu knew the special status of the other party; Sovereign Wu Tian also came from the Han Xing Universe, but was not a disciple of the Supreme.

In a sense, Sovereign Wu Tian and Supreme Han Xing were powerhouses born in the same era in the universe, and the two had fought for a long time for control of the universe.

In the end, Supreme Han Xing broke through, and only then did Sovereign Wu Tian choose to submit, which also gave Sovereign Wu Tian a rather transcendent status.

"His movement speed is too fast."

"If we intercept him outside the Heart Demon Lake, if we are not careful, he might break through our obstruction; after all, according to intelligence, Quasi-Saint Brother Brother Xinyuan is accustomed to multiple true bodies acting in concert." Sovereign Master Lian Fu's voice was melodious; she wore a purple gauze dress that was faintly visible.

And on her arms, thighs, and even that patch of snow-white skin, a large number of illusory fire-red Dao patterns swept across, full of charm.

"We must stop him." Sovereign An Lu said in a low voice.

Pondering for a moment.

"Judging from his direction of movement... Three Flame Mountain should be the place he must pass through." Sovereign An Lu said softly: "We will block him right here."

"Even if he has multiple true bodies acting in concert, the special environment of Three Flame Mountain will make it difficult for him to break through our obstruction." Sovereign An Lu said.

"Three Flame Mountain?"

"It will only take us one day to rush there, enough for us to wait in ambush calmly." Sovereign Master Lian Fu approved of this plan.

Days passed one by one, and Li Yuan followed Sovereign Master Qing Qi, maintaining a super-high-speed journey, with no danger along the way.

Even if they encountered some universe practitioners or Ancient Spirits, Sovereign Master Qing Qi could easily avoid them.

Gradually.

Li Yuan also noticed that in the Changhe Ancient Ruins, the number of peak Emperor-level powerhouses or Ancient Spirits was still quite large, and he had encountered more than one along the way.

But at the Sovereign level, the number was much smaller.

"Sovereigns are really rare; having traveled for so long, I haven't even encountered a single practitioner Sovereign." Li Yuan said with quite a bit of emotion.

"This is natural."

Sovereign Master Qing Qi smiled upon hearing this: "At the peak Emperor level, like your Xin Meng Universe, there are currently several... adding up the entire Eighth Dark Domain, there are as many as dozens."

"Adding up the eighty-one Dark Domains, how many must there be? Especially since the peak Emperors cultivated by several Supremes are even more numerous."

"With so many peak Emperor true bodies scattered, roaming various Eternal Relics, it is naturally easy to encounter them." Sovereign Master Qing Qi said.

Li Yuan nodded slightly; looking at the vast universe, the number of powerhouses at the peak Emperor level was still quite large, and ordinary Emperors were even more numerous.

"And like Sovereigns."

"In your Eighth Dark Domain, there are only three publicly known ones!" Sovereign Master Qing Qi smiled slightly: "The Immortal World only has 211 star cities... plus the fact that Sovereigns are accustomed to roaming those more chaotic Eternal Relics, it is natural that they are rarely encountered."

Li Yuan's heart stirred; publicly known?

Listening to Sovereign Master Qing Qi's meaning, were there still unknown Sovereign powerhouses in the Eighth Dark Domain?

"What? You didn't know?" A hint of playfulness appeared on Sovereign Master Qing Qi's face: "Could it be that you really think Xin Meng is just an ordinary Emperor?"

Li Yuan was speechless and had no way to refute!

Sovereign Master Qing Qi did not dwell on this topic, changing the subject: "Even for the native life forms born in various Eternal Relics, it is easy to reach the peak Emperor level, but it is extremely difficult to reach the Sovereign level... Look at how many ordinary Emperor-level White Ancient Spirits there are in the Ancient Spirit clan?"

"Like the Black Ancient Spirits, their numbers are also extremely large."

"But how many Ancient Spirits have reached the Sovereign or Supreme level?" Sovereign Master Qing Qi shook her head and said: "In terms of potential and comprehension alone, the native life forms of these Eternal Relics are much weaker than us universe practitioners... they just have long lifespans and large numbers."

Sovereign Master Qing Qi seemed to look down on the native life forms of the Eternal Relics.

Li Yuan was not surprised; universe practitioners, especially powerhouses who walked out of the universe... all rose from weakness, and their experiences were all so miraculous.

Naturally, they were all extremely proud.

The potential and comprehension of internal universe life forms that can become Emperors are top-notch, and the probability of breaking through is also extremely high... while for White Ancient Spirits, out of one hundred thousand Emperor-level White Ancient Spirits, one might not even be able to give birth to a single Bai Guling Sovereign.

Like Supreme Ancient Spirits, they seem numerous, but that is accumulated gradually over endless long years... while in the universe, more than one Supreme can be born in every generation, which shows the gap in potential between the two.

In terms of combat power, among the same rank, universe practitioners generally also have an absolute advantage.
