Chapter 788: Magic Heart Lake! Hundreds of Millions of Powerhouses (5k)
The outside world was constantly disturbed, but Li Yuan did not pay much mind. He traveled at high speed with Sovereign Master Qing Qi and did not encounter any obstacles again.
In just over a day, they had arrived outside the Magic Heart Lake.
Hum~ Li Yuan and Sovereign Master Qing Qi passed through the water area, the surrounding water flow dissipated, and the two entered a void heaven and earth.
"The water flow of the Ancient Ruins Sea is isolated?" Li Yuan scanned with his gaze.
"Brother Xinyuan, look, that is the Magic Heart Lake." Sovereign Master Qing Qi slowed down and pointed toward the distant void.
"Magic Heart Lake?" Li Yuan stood in the void and looked into the distance.
According to the intelligence Li Yuan understood, the Ancient Ruins Sea was originally like a boundless ocean, with only unmeasurable water areas. No one could clearly say where the end of the Ancient Ruins Sea was.
After all, the legendary "Eternal Road" was in the deep reaches of the Ancient Ruins Sea, which was full of danger. Successive Supremes had gone deep into it and never returned.
But at this moment, the boundless water flow of the Ancient Ruins Sea was faintly obstructed by invisible power, forming a huge void heaven and earth here. If observed from a higher dimension, this void heaven and earth was like a huge hollow sphere... And in the center of this void heaven and earth, a huge lake was suspended.
The lake water was black, flowing grandly. It was not too vast, just like a wave in the boundless ocean compared to the Ancient Ruins Sea.
But the aura it radiated was incomparably vast, and the pressure it brought was also extremely strong.
"The summoning sensation produced by my soul is deep within this Magic Heart Lake." Li Yuan's heart stirred.
Ever since he descended into the Changhe Ancient Ruins, he had been able to feel an invisible pressure shrouding his heart, giving him a huge sense of danger, a situation other powerhouses had not encountered.
Besides that, Li Yuan had always felt that deep in the Changhe Ancient Ruins, something seemed to be summoning him.
Now, he had not found the reason for the invisible pressure that brought the sense of danger.
But at least, Li Yuan had arrived at the source of the summoning sensation.
"Islands?" Li Yuan faintly saw islands emerging in the grand black lake water, appearing and disappearing under the impact of the lake water.
And on the islands, there seemed to be quite a few powerhouse figures.
"Hmm."
"More accurately, they are reefs." Sovereign Master Qing Qi said solemnly: "The lake water of the Magic Heart Lake is incomparably dangerous, naturally containing Void Realm force, which will continuously produce illusions to confuse practitioners. The longer one stays in the lake water, the more terrifying the illusions encountered."
"Even a Sovereign, if they dare to go deep into the lake water directly, will have the disaster of getting lost if they stay too long, or even have their consciousness collapse and fall completely."
"The Magic Heart Lake is named for this."
"On the other hand, in the Magic Heart Lake, there are also many special lives called 'Magic Spirits.' They merge with the lake water. Their intelligence is extremely low, basically only having killing instincts, but their strength is extremely terrifying..."
"Only the reefs are relatively safe. There is no lake water on the reefs, and the Magic Spirits generally won't set foot on the reefs either." Sovereign Master Qing Qi said.
Li Yuan listened on the side.
Previously, he had roughly understood these messages, but there was still a difference between intelligence and seeing it with his own eyes.
"If you want to enter the deep reaches of the Magic Heart Lake, you must constantly move forward along the reefs until you reach the Wanxin Island." Sovereign Master Qing Qi continued: "Passing through Wanxin Island, you will reach the true core of the Magic Heart Lake—the Eternal Divine Palace! That legendary Saint-level weapon."
Li Yuan's eyes brightened. He had come to the Changhe Ancient Ruins precisely for the Eternal Divine Palace.
"Let's go. With our strength, we can ignore most of the dangers of the Magic Heart Lake. We can quickly reach Wanxin Island." Sovereign Master Qing Qi smiled.
"Okay." Li Yuan nodded.
The two major dangers of the Magic Heart Lake, like the "Void Realm illusions" contained in the lake water, were actually of very little threat to them, who had pioneered the Heart-Artifact Dao.
As for the Magic Spirits? The two of them, one a genuine Sovereign and the other with combat power close to a Sovereign, could ignore them unless a sky-covering number of Magic Spirits gathered.
This is strength!
So-called dangerous places and predicaments... to the powerful, they are all like walking on flat ground.
Whoosh! Whoosh! The two transformed into streams of light and passed through the void, arriving at the edge of the Magic Heart Lake not long after.
On a huge dark red reef, the lake water constantly slapped the stone shore. There were as many as dozens of low-tier Quasi-Saints squatting on the reef.
They were all staring at the black lake water.
"The Magic Heart Lake produces many special treasures. Some can assist in comprehending the Heart-Artifact Dao, some can be refined into Heart-Artifact Dao Emperor-level weapons, and others can quickly restore soul injuries... As long as you wait here, occasionally, the lake water will wash some rare treasures onto the shore." These low-tier Quasi-Saints all thought this way.
They guarded here naturally for the treasures.
For low-tier Quasi-Saints, their strength was too weak, and they didn't dare to go deep into the Magic Heart Lake's water to seek treasures, so they naturally could only adopt a stupid method—wait!
As long as they waited long enough, they would always have a harvest... Moreover, for them, as long as they could harvest one piece in ten thousand years, it would be tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of Eternal Crystals, so it was worth it.
Suddenly.
"Boom!" "Boom!" Two incomparably terrifying auras descended, followed by gliding across the heavens and earth. The invisible power produced by the astonishing speed set off heaven-toppling waves in the Magic Heart Lake, and the surging water flow swept toward the many low-tier Quasi-Saints on the reef.
"Retreat quickly."
"Don't get contaminated." The expressions of the many low-tier Quasi-Saints changed, and they didn't dare to be careless.
Although they wouldn't fall if they were contaminated by the lake water, no one could guarantee whether the lake water contained Magic Spirits. At this moment, they retreated one after another, all coming to the high ground of the reef.
They also couldn't help but look at the high sky.
"Who is it? Such a strong aura."
"They don't even land on the reef, daring to move forward directly along the reef route."
"The reef has invisible power to block the lake water. They are moving forward in the high sky... In reality, they are also moving forward in the Magic Heart Lake. It's extremely dangerous."
"Truly confident. Ordinary Emperor-level powerhouses wouldn't dare to do this either." The many low-tier Quasi-Saints communicated with each other, looking at the two figures in the distance, their eyes full of awe.
Complain?
In their view, such super powerhouses should act wantonly... In the world of practitioners, strength gives the right to speak.
That the other party didn't annihilate them all or plunder their treasures in one move could be called kind.
"One is an Emperor-level powerhouse! The other, only a low-tier Quasi-Saint? Such a powerful aura, and it's a low-tier Quasi-Saint?"
"How is that possible!"
"It seems to be Quasi-Saint Brother Xinyuan. Calculating the time... he and Sovereign Master Qing Qi should indeed have arrived at the Magic Heart Lake after traveling from Three Flames Mountain."
"So they rushed to the Magic Heart Lake."
"Quasi-Saint Brother Xinyuan, is it him? It is said his combat power is already close to a Sovereign."
"Everyone is saying he is the first God King in universe history." Many low-tier Quasi-Saints sighed secretly, their hearts full of admiration.
That's right!
For Li Yuan, who was also a low-tier Quasi-Saint but could rival a Sovereign... the vast majority of low-tier Quasi-Saints felt incomparably admiring, and even somewhat worshipful in their hearts.
"Quick, spread the news."
"Yes!"
"How important is Quasi-Saint Brother Xinyuan's whereabouts?" This group of low-tier Quasi-Saints immediately transmitted the news of Li Yuan appearing at the Magic Heart Lake to their respective major forces.
The battle of Three Flames Mountain had just passed, and Li Yuan was in the limelight. His whereabouts were indeed highly valued by all major forces in the universe.
Soon.
As Li Yuan and Sovereign Master Qing Qi crossed one reef after another, one must know that there were many powerhouses on each reef, and there was no lack of Emperor-level powerhouses... The news of Li Yuan arriving at the Magic Heart Lake spread rapidly, known to countless powerhouses.
Not long after.
Li Yuan and Sovereign Master Qing Qi had crossed over a hundred reefs and arrived at "Wanxin Island" deep in the Magic Heart Lake. It was called an island only because its area was huge, a thousand times that of an ordinary reef... The number of powerhouses gathered here was also the largest.
"So many people." Li Yuan's eyes narrowed. Looking around, there were probably tens of thousands gathered in various parts of the island.
Most were low-tier Quasi-Saints.
But there were also hundreds of Emperor-level powerhouses... It was very rare for so many powerhouses to gather in one ancient ruin.
"It's Quasi-Saint Brother Xinyuan, and the incomparably beautiful woman beside him should be Sovereign Master Qing Qi."
"Sovereign?"
"Quasi-Saint Brother Xinyuan's aura is truly special. I, a dignified Emperor-level powerhouse, feel I am far inferior to him." The many practitioners on the island looked from afar. Although some retreated, no one fled.
After all, these powerhouses had no grudges or conflicts of interest with Li Yuan and Sovereign Master Qing Qi.
When traversing the universe and major Eternal Relics, powerhouses between different forces rarely erupted into conflict if there were no grudges or conflicts of interest.
Having cultivated to such a level, those who were purely bloodthirsty were already a very small minority.
Most powerhouses killed with a purpose. Aimless slaughter would basically only bring bigger trouble to themselves.
Whoosh!
A purple stream of light glided through the void and quickly arrived before Li Yuan and Sovereign Master Qing Qi. When the figure condensed, it was a thin figure wearing purple robes. He had a smile on his face and bowed respectfully: "Greetings, Alliance Leader, and greetings, Sovereign Master Qing Qi."
"Who are you?" Sovereign Master Qing Qi's eyes flashed with a trace of doubt. ===== CHAPTER 789 =====
