Chapter 1188: Chapter 562 Battle of the Heavenly Divine

Whoosh! Li Yuan waved his hand, and a beast-shaped combat armor resembling a golden sculpture appeared in his palm, perfect and radiating an incredibly fierce aura.

“What is this?” Dongfang Ji, having comprehended the Law of Metal, sensed the uniqueness of this beast-shaped combat armor with just one glance.

“Alliance Hierarch, after you ascended to True God, I never had the chance to gift you something as a congratulations.” Li Yuan smiled, “This item is called the ’Golden Demon Armor’, which I obtained after slaying that True God Pigeon Hawk. It should suit you quite well, consider it my belated gift.”

“This Golden Demon Armor?” Dongfang Ji swept with his divine sense and perceived the many mysteries contained within the Golden Demon Armor.

After all, Li Yuan had severed ownership, and Dongfang Ji, possessing True God Limit strength, found it easy to inspect a Heavenly God Artifact.

“This armor is at least a top-grade Heavenly God Artifact.” Dongfang Ji thought in surprise.

He was, after all, a powerful True God and had apprenticed under Blood Feather Divine Monarch, who bestowed a low-grade Heavenly God Artifact for protection.

Hence, his vision was high, and with a slight sense, he judged the preciousness of the Golden Demon Armor.

Such a powerful armor, even his mentor ’Blood Feather Divine Monarch’, could not easily produce it.

“Li Yuan, I can’t accept such a treasure.” Dongfang Ji immediately shook his head.

With his temperament, he would have accepted an ordinary treasure.

“Alliance Hierarch, this combat armor is useless to me, it must be a strong person who comprehends the Law of Metal, the most suitable.” Li Yuan hurriedly explained.

“Soon you will become a True God, and by then your strength will certainly be stronger, whether it’s cultivating star techniques or other aspects, a large number of treasures are needed.” Dongfang Ji said, “This Golden Demon Armor, even if you don’t use it, you can entirely trade it with other strong ones for needed treasures.”

“Alliance Hierarch, what I need for cultivation, I do not lack this treasure.” Li Yuan explained.

“No!”

“There are rumors you are a disciple of a Divine King, but even as a disciple of a Divine King, or even a Divine Emperor, they won’t bestow you vast treasures, most of the wealth and treasure accumulation is up to your own efforts.” Dongfang Ji looked at Li Yuan, “If you had the strength of a Divine Monarch or the legendary ’Invincible Heavenly God’, I could accept it, but you don’t yet.”

“It is more important for your growth.”

“And I, I haven’t even comprehended the Law of Metal fully, and cannot fully unleash the might of the Golden Demon Armor.” Dongfang Ji shook his head, “It’s unnecessary to use such a precious treasure.”

“But…” Li Yuan still wanted to continue.

If he sold this Golden Demon Armor, he could indeed exchange it for tremendous resources… When Li Yuan becomes a True God in the future, cultivating the Perfect Star Skill to the Seventh Rank also indeed requires vast resources.

But in Li Yuan’s view, there is no need to rush these things.

And Li Yuan indeed wanted to help Dongfang Ji, thinking of him immediately when acquiring the Golden Demon Armor.

“Li Yuan.”

“I understand you want to help me, actually, when you last gave me ten billion Heart Dream Coins, the help was significant.” Dongfang Ji said, “As your strength continues to increase, you will continuously help me invisibly… but the prerequisite for everything is, it must not affect your cultivation.”

“You should understand.”

“I am confident in achieving Heavenly Divine, but achieving Divine King… the probability is very, very low.” Dongfang Ji looked at Li Yuan, “Your current strength has already surpassed mine, your path is more important.”

“You need not persuade me further.” Dongfang Ji said solemnly.

Li Yuan sighed inwardly and said no more.

He understood Dongfang Ji’s personality, once a decision is made, it is almost unchangeable.

And Li Yuan also understood, in Dongfang Ji’s heart, he had a great hope for achieving Divine King, and in the journey of cultivation, every opportunity is important… such a treasure indeed plays a crucial role for him now.

“Alliance Hierarch.”

“If you won’t take the Golden Demon Armor, you must accept these treasures.” Li Yuan waved his hand again, and several more Heavenly God Artifacts flew out, all of which were low-grade Heavenly God Artifacts.

But they were all metal attributes.

“All Heavenly God Artifacts? All quite nice, just right for me, comprehending the mysteries of the law within can also enhance my efficiency in comprehending the Law of Metal.” Dongfang Ji smiled, “Alright, I’ll take them.”

He only had one low-grade Heavenly God Artifact, which was granted by Blood Feather Divine Monarch.

Now, with several more, refining them all would significantly boost his strength.

And Dongfang Ji understood, these low-grade Heavenly God Artifacts were a generous gift to a True God, but to Li Yuan, who already possessed Heavenly Divine strength, they affected nothing, and if not accepted, would seem unreasonable.

“Low-grade Heavenly God Artifacts are suitable for the Alliance Hierarch to use for now.” Li Yuan felt slightly relieved to see Dongfang Ji accept them, thinking, “When the Dongfang Alliance Leader becomes a Heavenly God, more lavish gifts must be prepared.”

…

The exchange between Li Yuan and Dongfang Ji did not last long, and soon Li Yuan led Dongfang Ji back into Cloud Light Realm City.

Bang~

Cloud Light Realm City maintained its thousand-mile size, with clouds swirling on the surface, flying through this void again.

“Brother, what should we do next? Where should we go?” Liu Bing couldn’t help but ask, “Each Space Sphere Realm has no clue at all.”

Previously, Li Yuan reached here by traversing many Space Sphere Realms through the causality line with Dongfang Ji.

“Xiao Bing, didn’t you notice?” Li Yuan said, “The space vortexes in each Space Sphere Realm, though different in size and number… the strength of illusionary invasion is different.”

Dongfang Ji was still somewhat puzzled.

However, Liu Bing’s eyes lit up instantly, comprehending: “Brother, you mean, the weaker the illusionary invasion of a Space Sphere Realm, the farther it is from the core of this dangerous place?”

“Hmm?” Li Yuan nodded, “I suspect the core of this dangerous place contains some special treasure… the Space Sphere Realms are just the surface… but this place is unimaginably dangerous, it’s not our turn to delve deep for treasure yet.”

“We must make haste.”

“As long as we keep moving away from the core of danger, the hope of escaping danger should increase.” Li Yuan said.

Li Yuan wasn’t too worried, as the space vortexes hardly threatened him while piloting Cloud Light Realm City.

Time passed.

Li Yuan, with Liu Bing and Dongfang Ji, continuously searched for the rotational nodes of the Space Sphere Realms, entering other Space Sphere Realms… Once inside, they would pause to sense the strength of illusionary invasion.

If they encountered stronger illusionary invasion, they would retreat to the previous Space Sphere Realm.

If the space invasion was weaker, they would continue to find even weaker space invasions.

And so it went.

Day after day passed, in the blink of an eye, another six days went by, and Li Yuan and the others had already traversed over a hundred space sphere realms… The intensity of the illusionary realm assaults here no longer had any impact on Liu Bing and Dongfang Ji.

“Big brother, at this rate, it won’t be long before we can escape,” Liu Bing said with joy.

Li Yuan nodded.

Swoosh! The Silver Moon Divine Spear swept through the heavens and earth as Cloud Light Realm City traversed to a new space sphere realm.

Just landed.

“True God Tian Bing? True God East Pole? I never expected you to arrive here as well; what luck,” a deep voice resounded through space waves, echoing in this void.

Inside Cloud Light Realm City, the faces of Li Yuan, Liu Bing, and Dongfang Ji changed.

“It’s Xia Hao,” Liu Bing quickly said.

“It’s the aura of a Heavenly God! He’s actually broken through to become a Heavenly God,” Dongfang Ji’s complexion changed dramatically.

Previously, Liu Bing and Dongfang Ji had encountered Xia Hao, but at that time, Xia Hao was still a True God. In terms of power, he was inferior to True God Pigeon Hawk, only comparable to Liu Bing. Therefore, after a clash, Xia Hao saw no hope for victory and parted ways.

They never imagined that the other party had now ascended to Heavenly God.

“Nine Stars Heavenly God?” Li Yuan’s face was also somber.

Nine Stars True God and Nine Stars Heavenly God are two different concepts, even if the technique’s intricacy and Star Technique remain unchanged… Just the transformation of the divine body is enough to increase power a hundredfold.

“At least Heavenly God Second Rank strength, possibly even Heavenly God Third Rank strength,” Li Yuan instantly concluded.

In that instant.

“Buzz~” An invisible soul wave instantly descended, attempting to invade the trio.

With a thought, Li Yuan activated the Dream Realm Stone and easily repelled it.

However, a trace of confusion flashed across Liu Bing and Dongfang Ji’s eyes before they quickly regained clarity.

“His soul attack has become significantly stronger,” Liu Bing’s complexion changed slightly. During their last encounter, the opponent’s soul attack had no effect on her.

“Oh?”

“A minor Eight Stars True God, yet such strong soul defense?” A hint of surprise came through the deep voice: “Interesting.”

Boom!

A majestic figure in a green robe far in the void suddenly moved, and his speed was incredible.

Even amidst chaotic void, his flight speed swiftly broke through fifty thousand kilometers per second.

If in the outside starry sky, he might have hope of reaching sub-light speed.

Light speed is an extreme under the operation of the rules of the universe… Generally, after accelerating for a period, Heavenly Gods have hope of reaching sub-light speed, which is ninety percent of light speed.

Further reaches? To achieve light speed? Extremely difficult.

As powerful as a Divine Monarch, whether it’s flight speed or weapon burst speed, truly reaching light speed is extremely hard.

“Heavenly God Xia Hao,” Li Yuan’s voice was low, reverberating through the skies: “We are all in danger now; I don’t want to fight you. How about we each find our own way out?”

“Haha, laughable.”

“You don’t want to fight me? That’s because you’re going to die,” Xia Hao Heavenly God sneered: “Hand over all the treasures you carry, especially the investigation treasure, and I’ll spare your lives.”

He also saw that Li Yuan and others had broken through the space sphere realm, firmly believing that Li Yuan and the others had special secret treasures in their possession.

Otherwise, how could they break through the space sphere realm?

“True Gods can break through space sphere realms with investigation treasures; it must be incredibly precious,” Xia Hao Heavenly God thought to himself, greed overcoming him: “If it falls into my hands, the effect will surely be more astounding.”

“Investigation treasure?” Li Yuan instantly understood Xia Hao Heavenly God’s intentions.

“I don’t have any,” Li Yuan’s voice was low: “Xia Hao Heavenly God, if you cease your actions now, I can let bygones be bygones… But if you insist on fighting, then it will be a battle to the death.”

“A battle to the death?”

“Haha, a few True Gods, you think you deserve to talk about a battle to the death with me?” Xia Hao Heavenly God sneered viciously, as he instantly unleashed Perfect Star Skill, causing his divine body aura to skyrocket.

Speed even faster.

Even though Li Yuan was controlling Cloud Light Realm City and constantly retreating, Cloud Light Realm City is not an Escape Technique Secret Treasure; how could its movement speed possibly match the opponent?

Swoosh!

A dazzling sword light swept through the heavens and earth, shattering space, and magnificently swept toward Cloud Light Realm City.

“Rise!”

Clenching his teeth, Li Yuan also instantly unleashed Fatian Xiangdi, and his divine power might rocketed, with vast divine power madly pouring into Cloud Light Realm City, causing the city’s brilliance to surge and mist to disperse.

“Boom!”

The sword light descended as if opening heaven and earth, fiercely striking Cloud Light Realm City.

Rumbling!

Cloud Light Realm City fiercely shook, instantly diminishing the sword light’s might by over ninety percent, transmitting only a tiny portion of might to Li Yuan, Liu Bing, and Dongfang Ji.

Even so, causing the three’s divine bodies to tremble.

Li Yuan’s divine body was the weakest but the most solid, easily enduring.

“Blocked it? This city secret treasure has such strong defense,” Xia Hao Heavenly God was slightly shocked, then his eyes turned fervent: “True Gods defending with it, able to withstand my attack? A remarkable treasure indeed!”

He knew the terror of his attack, and if a Heavenly God threshold expert were struck by one sword, they would perish.

Yet the three True Gods hidden in the city could easily block it?

At least a top-grade Heavenly God Artifact.

“Suppress!” Xia Hao Heavenly God suddenly extended his large hand, which instantly expanded to ten thousand miles, covering heaven and earth, and forcefully slammed down.
