Chapter 821: Demon Lord Resolution! 660 Years!
"Beishan, don't joke."
"The Sacred Meteor Domain has incomplete universe rules, and the creatures born have generally much weaker talent. How is that possible?"
"Sacred Sea Level genius?"
"This is something that has never happened before. Even the ten or so Sub-Saints who rose before are far from reaching such a standard; at most, they can be considered 'Universe Level'." The five newly awakened Demon Lords spoke one after another, their voices filled with a trace of disbelief.
What kind of long years have they experienced?
Since the opening of the universe, they have seen every Sub-Saint who has risen, they have detailed information on every Supreme, and they have many ancient records left by the Abyss opener—this makes their vision extremely high.
So-called geniuses are also divided into levels.
Like in the history of the universe, those who were comparable to the peak Emperor Realm level while in the God King Realm were already considered first-class geniuses, but it was also difficult for these Abyss Demon Lords to look at them. In their hearts, those geniuses could barely be considered "Universe Level" geniuses.
Universe-level geniuses mostly end up as Sovereigns or Supremes, and only a very few can reach the Sub-Saint level.
A level higher than Universe-level geniuses is the "Sacred Sea Level," which is a higher level, representing talent that comprehensively surpasses all cultivators born in the universe.
The two words "Sacred Sea" are extremely special.
It also means that there is no doubt that the other party will achieve Sub-Saint, and there is a very small probability of achieving the supreme Eternal in the future!!
"I didn't quite believe it before either," Demon Lord Beishan said slowly. "But this time, my consciousness descended into the universe and fought with him—I have to believe it."
"Consciousness descended into the universe?"
"Such a huge price? Could it be that you were defeated?"
"No wonder you want to wake us up, Beishan. Your origin consciousness must have suffered quite a bit of damage." The other five Demon Lords immediately realized the seriousness of the problem. They knew very well the great price of a Demon Lord's consciousness descending into the universe.
Not only is the Abyss origin consumed hugely, but their Demon Lord consciousness will also suffer permanent damage.
"Everyone."
"This is all the detailed information I have collected about 'Quasi-Saint Brother Xinyuan,' as well as many images. Take a look." Demon Lord Beishan waved his hand.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
A large amount of light flowed, and countless messages appeared in the minds of the five Demon Lords. At the same time, in front of the six great Demon Lords, projection light screens appeared, showing the scene of Li Yuan and God Emperor Yun Jing fighting, and the scene where he and Demon Lord Beishan perished together in the end.
Time passed second by second.
The five Demon Lords viewed the data, all thinking quietly.
"What a terrifying growth speed."
"In terms of the profundity of the Dao, in just a few thousand years, he was able to reach the level of a ninth-rank Quasi-Saint. This kind of cultivation speed is incredible even in the entire Sacred Sea."
"His divine body is also terrifying."
"This is the Sacred Meteor Domain. This kind of Eternal Dao progress speed, logically speaking, shouldn't be—too fast. Could it be that he already has more than one Eternal Dao that has reached the fourth step?"
"He is actually still a Void Realm life? He is a universe life, with matter as the foundation, and has not reached the Sub-Saint level. How could he cultivate into a Void Realm life?"
"Unreasonable."
"Even with the help of the Eternal God Palace, it shouldn't be like this—the Eternal God Palace hasn't just cultivated one high-stage imprint holder, and which one of them could be so special?"
"Indeed, he can be called a monster." The five Demon Lords were deeply shocked by Li Yuan's growth speed. In endless years, there had never been any universe cultivator who could be like this.
But immediately.
They raised their own confusion: how could a universe cultivator's Eternal Dao progress so fast?
You must know!
For every top-tier Eternal Dao, the further back you go, the slower the deduction and cultivation speed is, and there is even the possibility of deduction errors, especially the difficulty of taking the fourth step from the third step—but the Dao realm Li Yuan displayed was completely not inferior to a Sovereign's.
In a few thousand years, multiple top-tier Eternal Daos reached the fourth step? This is simply too unbelievable.
Normally, having such a level in a million years is already very amazing.
"I thought of a possibility," the only female Demon Lord said suddenly.
"What?"
"Xuezhu, what possibility?"
"You once followed the Master back then, your vision is the highest among us." Including Demon Lord Beishan, all the Demon Lords looked at that female Demon Lord.
Most of their six great Demon Lords were born after the Abyss was opened. They were granted authority and power by the Abyss opener, so they knew very little about the level of the Abyss opener.
Only Demon Lord Xuezhu had followed the Abyss opener very early on.
"The Master once said," Demon Lord Xuezhu said slowly: "Normal cultivators all open up the Eternal Dao first, deduce the Eternal Dao step by step to the fourth step, find the parts that do not need to be compatible between top-tier Eternal Daos—then slowly deduce the intersection, and finally merge the Daos!"
"Merging two top-tier Eternal Daos is the limit of a Quasi-Saint, which is what universe cultivators call a Supreme."
"Merging three top-tier Eternal Daos is a Sub-Saint, who can initially transcend the River of Time and possess a few Eternal characteristics."
"However, the more powerful the Eternal Dao is, the more perfect oneself is, and the harder it is to merge the Daos," Demon Lord Xuezhu said. "Especially universe creatures, who lack Eternal guidance, and the path of cultivation is difficult."
The other Demon Lords could not help but nod.
Endless years, since the opening of the universe, over ten trillion years have passed, and only ten or so Sub-Saints have been born in total, each of whom can be called a brilliant talent.
"But the Master said, there is another path."
"That is to merge the Daos early," Demon Lord Xuezhu said solemnly. "In the earliest stage of cultivation, if one can open up enough top-tier Eternal Daos and make them combine with each other—the difficulty of merging the Daos is much lower."
Merge the Daos early?
"Xuezhu."
"What the Master said is indeed correct. If one can start merging the Daos early, then it will be easier to impact the Eternal in the future, but the cultivation difficulty in the early stage is actually higher."
Demon Lord Beishan shook his head directly: "First, like Quasi-Saints, most find it difficult to bear too many Eternal Daos. It is good enough to luckily open up two top-tier Eternal Daos; how is it possible to open up even more—second, if the Eternal Dao realm is too low, cultivators have a very shallow understanding of it. How can they merge the Daos?"
"Starting to merge the Daos early, the difficulty of merging the Daos is actually ten or a hundred times harder than merging the Daos when a single Eternal Dao reaches the fourth step."
The other Abyss Demon Lords could not help but nod.
This path, although the final achievement seems high, the cultivation conditions are more harsh, and it is simply not something that ordinary cultivators can choose. If they chose it, the final probability is to waste years and fail to become a Supreme.
"Indeed difficult."
"Therefore, in endless years, among the geniuses born in the universe, there has never been one," Demon Lord Xuezhu said softly. "But don't you think that Quasi-Saint Brother Xinyuan's growth process is very similar?"
"His strength improvement speed is too exaggerated."
"We all feel that it is incredible to deduce multiple Eternal Daos to the fourth step in such a short time, but if we change the angle—what if the four Eternal Daos he opened up are only at the second or third step level, and he only performed preliminary merging? Thus erupting with amazing power?"
"Is it more reasonable?"
"I know, merging four top-tier Eternal Daos—is indeed too incredible," Demon Lord Xuezhu said solemnly. "But perhaps, he has more talent in merging Daos?"
A silence.
Demon Lord Beishan and the others all fell into a long silence.
It was not that they had not thought about the possibility of Li Yuan merging the Daos—it was just that merging four top-tier Eternal Daos was a path that countless Sub-Saints were pursuing, yet all found it difficult to succeed.
Not to mention a Quasi-Saint who had been cultivating for a few thousand years? This kind of thinking was simply too crazy.
A long time passed.
"Xuezhu," Demon Lord Beishan's voice was hoarse, and he said slowly: "If your guess is true, doesn't that mean that as long as he is given a certain amount of time, Quasi-Saint Brother Xinyuan is destined to grow into the most top-tier kind of Sub-Saint?"
Sub-Saints are also different.
Merging three top-tier Eternal Daos is a Sub-Saint.
Merging four top-tier Eternal Daos is also a Sub-Saint—but the strength of the latter far exceeds the former, and the latter is the one truly hopeful of impacting the Eternal.
And achieving such a supreme Sub-Saint, the hardest part is not opening up the fourth Eternal Dao to the fourth step, but merging the Daos.
"That's right."
"If my guess is true," Demon Lord Xuezhu took a deep breath and said slowly: "When the place of origin of the universe is about to reach the 'Origin Tribulation,' the Immortal Heaven and Earth will not let go of this opportunity and will definitely go all out to help him. This is a great disaster for our Abyss."
Immediately, several Demon Lords became quiet again. The so-called Origin Tribulation refers to when the Abyss Sacrificial Sea opens.
In reality, the Abyss Will does not want to open the Abyss Sacrificial Sea—it is just that, even as powerful as the Abyss opener, having occupied the initiative in the Eternal War back then, it cannot completely control the operation of the universe's origin.
The great power of the universe and the power of the Eternal River are beyond the imagination of cultivators.
Eternal existences can only mobilize some authority.
"If he is allowed to cultivate for another three thousand years, it is indeed a disaster," Demon Lord Beishan said. "This is also the reason why my consciousness had to descend into the universe. I wanted to kill him in advance, or at least destroy his home Universe Realm—unfortunately, I failed."
"After this battle, he is probably even more hostile to our Abyss."
All the Demon Lords knew that Demon Lord Beishan's choice was not wrong.
But having failed, he had to bear a greater backlash.
Reconciliation? The hope is slim—and in the Abyss's dictionary, there is no word for reconciliation. Strangling all threats is the Abyss's code of conduct.
"I woke you up."
"I was thinking, whether to use the authority of our six great Demon Lords and consume a portion of the Abyss's origin power to make this Origin Tribulation happen in advance?" Demon Lord Beishan said. "If it happens in advance, Quasi-Saint Brother Xinyuan's strength will not have reached the tenth-rank level, and at least it can be delayed for a long time."
"This is a way."
"We can also make the Abyss lineage experts obstruct him layer by layer! We can also make our consciousness descend into the place of the universe's origin and join forces to block him—the hope of him reaching the Abyss Sea will be much smaller." Many Demon Lords' eyes lit up.
If nothing is done, and they wait for the Abyss Sacrificial Sea to open when the universe operates in a few thousand years, Li Yuan's strength might go even further.
Even if it only reaches the Supreme threshold level, it will be a nightmare.
"Xuezhu, this needs to be done by you," Demon Lord Beishan looked at Demon Lord Xuezhu, who was emitting endless seduction: "You hold the highest authority."
"Do you all agree?" Demon Lord Xuezhu said softly.
"Agree!"
"Agree!"
"Agree!"
"Agree!" The other four Demon Lords spoke one after another.
"Good!"
Demon Lord Xuezhu closed her eyes gently, as if communicating with some existence. After a long time, she opened her eyes again: "I have already communicated with the Abyss Will. It can push the Abyss Sacrificial Sea to open in advance—but the operation of the universe also has its laws. The Abyss Will cannot completely control it and can only influence it slightly. Therefore, the earliest opening time."
