Chapter 818: Void Realm Life! The Curtain Falls

"Alliance Leader, what are you doing?" The Starry Sky God Emperor's expression changed.

Having watched the battle from close range for so long, he knew the terrifying strength of the Abyss Demon Lord all too well. Even though Li Li Li Yuan possessed the combat power of a peak Overlord, he was absolutely no match for the Demon Lord; he would likely be wiped out with a casual wave of the opponent's hand.

Yet, the miracles Li Li Li Yuan had created in the past gave him a glimmer of hope.

"The Alliance Leader is no impulsive fool," the Starry Sky God Emperor thought to himself. "Perhaps he has some way to defeat the Abyss Demon Lord."

In the Starry Sky God Emperor's heart, Li Li Li Yuan's talent was absolutely inconceivable. Given enough time, he was destined to be an invincible existence.

Boom!

Li Li Li Yuan crossed the galaxy and appeared in a corner of the Universe Realm, gazing from afar at the Abyss Demon Lord and the projection of the Eternal Divine Palace in the center of the battlefield.

After such a long and intense battle.

Whether it was the Eternal Divine Palace projection or the Abyss Demon Lord, their auras were far weaker than they had been at the start. Although they were still maintaining their exchange of material attacks, the power of their strikes had plummeted significantly, barely qualifying as Sovereign-level anymore.

Li Li Li Yuan's appearance immediately drew the attention of both sides.

"Li Li Li Yuan? Why have you come over? Didn't I say I hadn't notified you yet?" The Heart Dream God Emperor's weary voice held a trace of surprise and even more anxiety.

According to their plan.

They had to wait for the Abyss Demon Lord's strength to drop below the Sovereign level before Li Li Li Yuan could join the battle—and right now, although the Abyss Demon Lord's strength had been sharply reduced, he was still not someone Li Li Li Yuan could contend with.

"Senior Heart Dream, rest assured," Li Li Li Yuan said calmly. "Since I dared to come, I naturally have confidence. Too many have fallen; the Starry Sky God Emperor cannot fall again. We must leave some sparks for the Universe Realm."

The Heart Dream God Emperor was stunned.

Sparks?

He instantly understood Li Li Li Yuan's meaning. The Starry Sky God Emperor was the last God Emperor of the Universe Realm. Once he died, the countless God Kings born over the long ages of the Heart Dream Universe Realm would have nowhere left to anchor their true bodies—even if they survived this sacrificial catastrophe, a large number of God Kings would quickly perish.

These ancient God Kings were the cornerstone of a Universe Realm.

Just like this sacrificial catastrophe; if not for the tens of thousands of ancient God Kings who had awakened and sacrificed their true lifespans to maintain the "Origin Locking Array," they would never have lasted until now.

"Demigod Demigod Demigod Xinyu?"

"You have actually appeared?" The Abyss Demon Lord's eyes lit up completely. After such a long, bloody battle and being stalled by the Heart Dream God Emperor for so long, he had given up all hope of killing Li Li Li Yuan.

He had only been thinking of defeating the Heart Dream God Emperor, destroying the Universe Realm, and blocking Li Li Li Yuan from descending into the Abyss Sacrificial Sea.

He hadn't expected.

That at the very last moment, Li Li Li Yuan would actually show himself!!

"As long as I can kill you, everything will be worth it." The Abyss Demon Lord was immediately tempted; the primary goal of this battle was to kill Li Li Li Yuan.

Killing Li Li Li Yuan was the only way to eliminate the greatest hidden danger.

Boom!

The Abyss Demon Lord moved directly. An arm suddenly condensed out of thin air on his body, reaching out to sweep across the void. It radiated a dark red light, the massive hand spanning hundreds of millions of miles of space-time, shattering all the cyan air currents in its path as it descended to suppress Li Li Li Yuan.

He was attempting to capture Li Li Li Yuan directly!

Even at such an ultra-long distance, the attack was still at the Sovereign level.

"Li Li Li Yuan, be careful!" the Heart Dream God Emperor transmitted, simultaneously mobilizing his power to try and block the Abyss Demon Lord's terrifying hand.

The Abyss Demon Lord did not use his Emperor Blade, clearly intending to capture and suppress Li Li Li Yuan alive.

"Senior Heart Dream, no need!"

Li Li Li Yuan transmitted back. Facing the Abyss Demon Lord's terrifying attack, Li Li Li Yuan did not retreat but instead advanced, transforming into a stream of light as he soared into the sky.

His aura was weak, but his momentum was quite astonishing.

"Hm? Demigod Demigod Demigod Xinyu, he?" Sovereign Senior Senior Senior Dongfang Ji outside the Universe Realm was stunned: "So bold?"

"Taking the initiative to fight?" The Heart Dream God Emperor was startled.

"The Alliance Leader, could he actually be able to fight a Sovereign?" The Starry Sky God Emperor was even more dumbfounded. That was a dignified Sovereign-level existence.

For a God King to possess strength comparable to an Overlord was already inconceivable.

From the Overlord level to the Sovereign level, the gap was far greater than from peak Emperor level to Overlord level; it was almost insurmountable—

A Sovereign represented an ultimate end to cultivation, theoretically no longer bound by time, and could be called a half-step transcendence.

Could a God King really contend with one?

"Courting death!"

"Once I capture your true body, all the effort will have been worth it," the Abyss Demon Lord thought. "At that time, through this true body, I can completely wipe out all your true bodies across various space-times and kill you thoroughly."

The world darkened!

A single hand covered the sky!

Just as the two sides were about to collide, "Hm?" The Abyss Demon Lord suddenly felt a faint tremor. He immediately sensed something was wrong: "No!"

Li Li Li Yuan, who had previously possessed a heaven-shaking momentum, changed instantly.

He was no longer in human form; his figure became extremely ethereal and massive, as if he had transformed into a vast, illusory world in an instant.

Like a world!

It also resembled a great turtle, simply resting there in the void, and his aura was so scorching, illusory, and ethereal, giving one an endless sense of unreality.

"What is this?" A sense of unease flashed through the Abyss Demon Lord's heart: "Forget it, I'll just suppress him directly."

Boom!

The Abyss Demon Lord's massive palm struck down, but it easily passed through that vast, massive world. The two sides seemed to be in different space-time layers, with absolutely no contact.

"Not a material form."

"It's a Void Realm form." The Abyss Demon Lord's expression changed drastically, and he instantly realized: "It's a Void Realm life! No, it's very likely a Void Realm life—how is this possible! How could a cosmic cultivator cultivate into a Void Realm life?"

Over the long ages.

As an Abyss Demon Lord, although he had never encountered a Void Realm life, some terrifying aspects of them had been mentioned in secret intelligence passed down through the Abyss.

The greatest characteristic of a Void Realm life was that it existed on the other side of the material world, composed of Void Realm soul power, and was basically unaffected by material attacks.

"The Abyss Demon Lord's attack, it failed?" Sovereign Jing gazed from afar, his heart shaken.

"It passed straight through the Alliance Leader? That was an attack of Sovereign-level magnitude, this?" God Emperor Starry Sky was filled with confusion.

The Void Realm is the heaven and earth where the soul resides; it is an extension of true matter.

In God Emperor Starry Sky's mind, there simply existed no life that could independently survive in the Void Realm; he had no knowledge of the existence of Void Realm life.

"Void Realm life?" A flash of excitement crossed God Emperor Heart-Dream.

Even Sovereign Jing was not entirely clear, but God Emperor Heart-Dream was all too familiar with this, especially when he watched closely the vast world Li Li Li Yuan had transformed into, which resembled a great turtle; his heart felt an even greater shock: "A Realm Demon? It doesn't quite look like one, but it already possesses a trace of a Realm Demon's embryonic form."

"This is one of the most ultimate Void Realm lifeforms below the Eternal level."

"Li Li Li Yuan, he actually cultivated this supreme art?" God Emperor Heart-Dream felt it was somewhat inconceivable, yet he was filled with even more excitement:

"Good! Good! There is hope."

"No wonder he dared to charge up here."

"The Void Realm Body, its material defense is indeed nearly invincible." Li Li Li Yuan felt quite emotional in his heart; what had appeared at this moment was merely this one Void Realm true body of his.

Of course, this move did not ignore material attacks.

If the enemy's material attack were terrifying enough, it could still affect the Void Realm and subsequently harm Li Li Li Yuan—unfortunately, this Abyss Demon Lord had a very weak influence on Li Li Li Yuan.

"I must rely on the Void Realm true body first." Li Li Li Yuan secretly thought.

Although the Heart-Weapon Dao had broken through, making the power of the Primordial Intent a cut above, Li Li Li Yuan still understood that in terms of material attacks and close-quarters combat, he was still a large cut below the Sovereign level.

Start a war directly? That would be courting death!

His greatest advantage was this true body that had cultivated into the Void Realm Body.

"Unfortunately, time is too short. My will and Heart-Weapon Dao broke through one after another, and I directly succeeded in forming the Void Realm Body, but I didn't have enough time to cultivate 'Realm Demon'." Li Li Li Yuan sighed inwardly.

"Realm Demon" could be called one of the top-tier sub-saint supreme arts of the Void Realm lineage; if cultivated to the extreme, it could almost sweep away all sub-saints.

It was just that the difficulty of even cultivating the entry-level was extremely high.

Over these years, Li Li Li Yuan had been pondering the first transformation of "Realm Demon," and in countless deductions, he had already broken through and understood countless bottlenecks.

Especially after the Heart-Weapon Dao breakthrough, it left him with no more confusion regarding the first transformation.

It could be said that as long as Li Li Li Yuan were given some time, he would be able to quickly cultivate the first transformation and truly transform this body into a "Realm Demon."

That would be a true "Void Realm lifeform."

However, the time given to Li Li Li Yuan was too short, so for now, he had only just initially entered the gate, causing his own body to manifest a few characteristics of a Realm Demon.

But even a few characteristics of a Realm Demon were terrifying enough.

"The six transformations of 'Realm Nightmare,' the first three transformations belong to the sub-saint level."

"If the first transformation is cultivated, it belongs to the eighth-tier sub-saint; if the second transformation is cultivated, it belongs to the ninth-tier sub-saint; if the third transformation is cultivated, it belongs to the tenth-tier sub-saint." Many mysteries of this supreme art surfaced in Li Li Li Yuan's heart.

The most important point was that once each transformation was successfully achieved, it could be called invincible among the same tier.

If the first transformation were cultivated, even a Master would have to change color when facing Li Li Li Yuan's soul attack; if they didn't die, they would still be under great suppression.

If the second transformation were cultivated, it would be enough to threaten the life of a Sovereign.

If the third transformation were cultivated, except for a very small number of Sovereigns with heaven-defying soul defense, all other Sovereigns would undoubtedly die when facing his soul attack.

This is a Realm Demon!

It is one of the most perfect and powerful Void Realm lifeforms nurtured by the endless space-time.

"Void Realm Body? It is indeed special enough." The Abyss Demon Lord let out an angry low roar: "I indeed cannot hurt you, and even less can I capture you, but you also cannot affect me."

"I only need to defeat God Emperor Heart-Dream."

The Void Realm Body represents the strongest soul defense and material defense.

At the same time, it also represents the weakest material attack.

At this moment, Li Li Li Yuan's Void Realm true body could not even reach the Emperor level with its material attacks; I fear even a fourth-tier sub-saint could easily block them.

"Abyss Demon Lord."

"If you were a true Sovereign, my Void Realm true body, having not even cultivated the first transformation of 'Realm Demon,' would certainly not be able to threaten you." Li Li Li Yuan transformed into a vast, dreamlike world.

"However, you are ultimately just a portion of consciousness separated by the Abyss Demon Lord, possessing only a fraction of soul power."

"For such a long time."

"You and God Emperor Heart-Dream have been consuming soul power continuously, and the laws of the universe are also oppressing you from the dark; you can barely even control this battle body, and the strength you are erupting can only barely be counted as Sovereign-level—can your soul power still reach the Master level?" Li Li Li Yuan's cold voice caused the Abyss Demon Lord's expression to change.

This was his greatest weakness.

That's right!

The power he controlled was still at the Sovereign level, but his original soul power had long since sharply declined, and now he was only barely controlling this battle body.

"Nightmare!"

"Extinguish!!" Li Li Li Yuan directly unleashed the innate supreme move of the Realm Demon; even though it was just the fur of the supreme move because he had just entered the gate, and even though he could barely unleash it.

However, this was ultimately one of the supreme moves of the most powerful Void Realm lifeforms.

Boom!

That vast, illusory "embryonic form of the Dream Universe," resembling a great turtle, instantly boiled, as if it were burning, and a scorching, endless aura erupted.

The Realm Demon's supreme art "Demon Extinction" was quite similar to the sub-saint supreme art "Extreme Extinction," but it did not cause as much damage to oneself; if a true Realm Demon unleashed it, the damage to itself would be very small, only consuming some Void Realm power.

But Li Li Li Yuan had after all just entered the gate and had not yet transformed into a true "Realm Demon," therefore, forcibly unleashing this move meant paying the price with his own life.

In an instant.

Hum~ The vast space-time seemed to become illusory and unpredictable, and faintly, an illusory space-time enveloped everything, separating all things and all spirits.

"Hmm?"

The Abyss Demon Lord sensed something amiss, feeling only that his consciousness seemed to have fallen into an endless illusory world, unable to break free at all.

A terrifyingly incomparable soul power, like a sharp blade, pierced directly into his original soul, leaving him unable to struggle at all.

Eternal Dao Weapon—Void Transformation Map!

When Li Li Li Yuan's true body succeeded in forming the Void Realm Body and initially entered the gate of "Realm Demon," he was finally able to use this Eternal Dao Weapon.

One must know, as a living treasure bestowed upon Li Li Li Yuan, this "Saint Heart Seal Bearer," by the Eternal God Palace, this Eternal Dao Weapon's main body was a "top-tier Emperor Weapon," and it also contained a wisp of true Eternal Dao Rhyme; although its greatest role was to assist Li Li Li Yuan in cultivating "Realm Demon."

But from one aspect, it also clarified that it was one of the Eternal Dao Weapons most suitable for "Realm Demon."

At this moment!

When Li Li Li Yuan's Void Realm true body paid the price with its life and unleashed a killing supreme art through an Eternal Dao Weapon, it also caused the power of this move to reach an inconceivable level.

"Boom!"

That terrifying soul blade swept away all soul obstacles like a hot knife through butter; although the Abyss Demon Lord tried his best to block it, operating his own original soul in an attempt to stop it.

But!

After a long, bloody battle, the soul of this battle body was already a large cut weaker than it was at the beginning; facing this violent soul attack, it was like a forest fire facing a torrential downpour; although he struggled with all his might, it was ultimately of no avail.

In the blink of an eye!

"Hum~" The Abyss Demon Lord's remaining original soul was completely annihilated.

Boom!

Having lost the support of his original soul, that vast and towering Abyss battle body also rapidly disintegrated under the operation of the universe's laws.

Not far away, the originally awe-inspiring "Abyss Altar" also rapidly became dim.

Everything quieted down.

In the void, a huge and incomparable Dao map was slowly revealed, along with several powerful Emperor Weapons left behind by the Abyss Demon Lord—

#

"Won?"

"The Alliance Leader! With just one move, in one encounter, he directly annihilated the Abyss Demon Lord, who was powerful beyond compare and whose frontal combat strength could still rival a Sovereign?" God Emperor Starry Sky was somewhat dazed.

With his strength and vision, he could not see through how Li Li Li Yuan had done it, only feeling that this scene was too inconceivable.

That was a Sovereign-level existence!

Even if Li Li Li Yuan paid the price of his life, it was ultimately just one true body—this move was simply too heaven-defying.

Ah!

The void shook, and Li Li Li Yuan's other six true bodies appeared, his face also filled with excitement.

"Won?"

"Finally, I have killed this Abyss Demon Lord." Li Li Li Yuan's god body was also trembling slightly, filled with irrepressible excitement.

Even though he had expected it, only until he truly killed the Abyss Demon Lord did the tight string in Li Li Li Yuan's heart finally relax completely.

Finally, he had won.

In Li Li Li Yuan's plan, if he had paid the price with the life of his Void Realm true body and still failed to kill him completely, he should have at least severely wounded the opponent, and the strength he could erupt would definitely be a large cut weaker.

By then, the six true bodies would have had to appear and attempt to annihilate him with material attacks; if it had reached that step, the outcome would have been hard to predict.

Fortunately!

His own Void Realm true body had successfully perished together with the Abyss Demon Lord.

Losing one Void Realm true body was nothing to Li Li Li Yuan; as long as the Void Transformation Map was there, he could spend some time to nurture a new true body and cultivate it.

"We won!"

"The Abyss Demon Lord is dead; this catastrophe of the sacrificial world has finally passed." God Emperor Heart-Dream's voice rang out, his voice filled with exhaustion.

Unlike God Emperor Starry Sky, God Emperor Heart-Dream had already faintly guessed the reason for Li Li Li Yuan's success.

If the opponent were a normal Sovereign, Li Li Li Yuan's move would likely have caused only slight damage to the opponent's soul—but regardless, this battle was a success.

"To be able to have such power."

"It should also have a connection to that mysterious Dao map." God Emperor Heart-Dream also sensed the existence of the Void Realm Map; this was definitely a terrifying Emperor Weapon.

And it was very likely a supreme treasure of the Void Realm lineage.

However.

God Emperor Heart-Dream was no longer willing to investigate further; after this catastrophe of the sacrificial world, Li Li Li Yuan had erupted one after another, his strength had broken through rapidly, and his trump cards were endless, which had already made him understand completely.

It was time to let go.

Moreover, his own situation no longer allowed him to continue controlling everything.
