High-Level Martial Era - Chapter 1000

Chapter 1000: Chapter 499: Trap! My Name is Gao Long
 

“I wish to teleport to Da Shi Star.” Li Yuan smiled and looked at the other party.

This was a humanoid Pseudo-God approximately six meters tall, clad in heavy black Combat Armor, with two arms, but also possessing a long tail emanating a rather powerful aura.

Li Yuan had already activated the Divine Palace’s Scouting Function.

Level 54! A Pseudo-God of Intermediate Rank.

However, a humanoid appearance did not necessarily signify belonging to the Human Race. After reaching the Void God Realm, Divine Beasts and other races could also employ transformation techniques to assume a human-like form.

The Human Race was the dominant race of the Divine Realm, enjoying the highest number of powerful figures and the most Overlord-level entities born across the long ages.

Thus, maintaining a humanoid appearance was a mainstream trend among the powerful beings of the Divine Realm.

Only during combat would powerful figures of other races reveal their True Body.

The True Body was necessary to unleash full strength.

“Da Shi Star? That’s the Royal Capital of our Great Stone Divine Country, an extraordinarily distant location.” The black-armored, long-tailed Pseudo-God’s eyes flickered with a trace of doubt. “Who are you? I am stationed here, and I have seen most Pseudo-Gods on nearby planets. Why haven’t I seen you before?”

As stationed guards, they had the authority to inquire about the origins of those using the Transmission Array.

“I am merely a Demigod from South Willow Star, who has remained in my hometown. By sheer luck, I broke through to become a Pseudo-God,” Li Yuan explained with a smile. “I heard that Da Shi Star is packed with strong figures and offers numerous opportunities for cultivation, so I wish to go there and broaden my horizons.”

South Willow Star was one of the many remote planets Li Yuan passed through before arriving at Wanlong Star.

This was the identity Li Yuan had meticulously fabricated.

There were two reasons for not directly presenting the Purple Garment Order.

First, in small places like Wanlong Star, most stationed Pseudo-Gods were not official members of the Chaos Divine Court and likely would not recognize the Purple Garment Order.

Second, presenting the Purple Garment Order would reveal his identity as a Purple Garment Semi-Divine. Such a status was extraordinarily rare, with one emerging only every few millennia across the Mohe Star Domain. It could lead to unexpected trouble.

After all, just as mortal civilizations planted spies and sent assassins to eliminate young prodigies of enemy civilizations, the same held true for the Divine Realm.

Various factions of the Chaos Divine Court and Divine Kingdoms planted a massive number of spies in enemy territories and would not hesitate to preemptively eliminate a Purple Garment Semi-Divine.

Therefore, Chaos Divine Court’s Purple Garment Semi-Divines mostly concealed their identities when moving outside.

“Although this is the Great Stone Divine Country’s territory, it is better to be cautious,” Li Yuan thought to himself. “If news leaks and I’m unlucky, it could attract the Green Demon Heavenly God.”

While the probability of a Heavenly God confronting him was extremely low, Li Yuan did not wish to take the risk.

As long as it wasn’t a Heavenly God, Li Yuan wasn’t too concerned.

“South Willow Star… I think there is such a planet,” the black-armored, long-tailed Pseudo-God nodded.

With so many surrounding planets near Wanlong Star, he couldn’t have visited all of them, nor could he discern every detail.

He was merely following protocol with his inquiries.

“Teleportation to Da Shi Star costs one hundred and twenty Fangshen Crystals.” The black-armored, long-tailed Pseudo-God stated, “The Star System Transmission Array activates once per month. You’re lucky; it will activate in six days. Pay the fee upfront.”

“One hundred and twenty Fangshen Crystals? So expensive?” Li Yuan showed a trace of distress on his face.

To maintain his disguise, his reaction had to be natural.

As a Pseudo-God from a remote area, it was only normal to feel distressed about such expenses.

“You think this is expensive? Do you have any idea how far Da Shi Star is?” The black-armored, long-tailed Pseudo-God shook his head. “It spans tens of Star Systems and millions of light years… If you find it too pricey, you can buy a wormhole Star Map and slowly navigate through the wormholes.

Estimate a hundred years—then you’ll probably arrive.”

“I’ll teleport, of course.” Li Yuan replied quickly.

Swiftly, Li Yuan took out one hundred and twenty Fangshen Crystals.

“Alright, head to the floating Temple over there to meditate.” The black-armored, long-tailed Pseudo-God instructed, “When the Transmission Array activation time arrives, I’ll notify you.”

Whoosh! The black-armored, long-tailed Pseudo-God tossed a token to Li Yuan.

Suddenly.

Whoosh! Another figure rapidly approached through the void, emitting a weaker aura; this was merely a Demigod heading straight for Wanlong Star.

“Presumptuous!”

“Who allowed you to barge in?” The black-armored, long-tailed Pseudo-God bellowed furiously, his voice reverberating through the void with spatial ripples, unleashing a terrifying aura that crushed down on the red-robed Demigod hundreds of kilometers away.

The terrifying suppression caused the red-robed Demigod’s face to change and his speed to sharply decrease.

“Senior, spare me! Spare me! I seek to teleport to Duo Jing Star.” The red-robed Demigod pleaded repeatedly.

“One Fangshen Crystal.” The black-armored, long-tailed Pseudo-God barked.

The red-robed Demigod immediately took out the crystal.

After pocketing the crystal, the black-armored, long-tailed Pseudo-God rebuked, “Go wait far off there. Observe the Transmission Array yourself. Once it activates, hurry over… Miss this activation, and you’ll have to pay the fee again for the next.”

“Yes, yes, senior, I understand.” The red-robed Demigod nodded rapidly like a pecking chick, bowing as he flew off into the distance.

“Ignorant little ones, probably without proper guidance from seniors.” The black-armored, long-tailed Pseudo-God shook his head.

Li Yuan realized that the other party’s attitude toward him was relatively lenient, likely because he was a Pseudo-God.

Holding the token, Li Yuan swiftly flew to the floating temple several thousand kilometers away.

“Pseudo-God Artifact?” Li Yuan assessed the temple’s level; it appeared to be a Magical Treasure.

“Senior, entry token.” A guarding Demigod at the entrance said.

“Here.” Li Yuan tossed out the token and entered the temple.

The temple’s interior was spacious.

“Three Pseudo-Gods already? Are all of them waiting for the Transmission Array?” Li Yuan’s gaze swept across the room and noticed three Pseudo-Gods within.
