High-Level Martial Era - Chapter 1003

Chapter 1003: Chapter 501: You Forced My Hand, Divine Son Li Yuan (9K)
 

Wanlong Star, a rather bustling city, had numerous towering temples suspended in its void.

These temples were entirely concealed by formations, shrouded in mist.

Inside one enormous temple, a colossal white-haired Exotic Beast over a thousand meters long, with a tail half the size of its body, was sprawled within, snoring loudly.

The Divines, when alone, mostly prefer revealing their True Body, feeling completely unrestrained.

“Ancestor! Ancestor!” A hurried voice suddenly rang beside the Exotic Beast, followed by the condensation of a white-robed Phantom.

“What’s the matter?” A deep voice came from the temple, but the white-haired Exotic Beast kept its eyes shut.

“Ancestor, Jin Xin Pseudo-God just sent word that they are facing external invasion and hoped for your assistance.” The white-robed Phantom quickly continued, “He also said that if the invaders are eradicated, he could offer you 300,000 Fangshen Crystals as a gift.”

“Ancestor, shall we help him?” The white-robed Phantom asked swiftly.

A Pseudo-God Limit expert normally possesses wealth around one million Fangshen Crystals.

Three hundred thousand Fangshen Crystals are enough to entice a Pseudo-God Limit expert to risk their all.

“Fool! How much benefit did you receive for speaking on his behalf?” The deep voice carried a hint of coldness.

“Ancestor, me?” The white-robed Phantom’s heart trembled. How did the Ancestor know?

“Idiotic!”

“If they’d truly encountered external invasion, Jin Xin would have had time to contact the Guardian Army of the Kunli Star System before messaging you. Why would he come to me?” The deep voice growled, “Most likely, he secretly ambushed a passing Pseudo-God, hit a hard target he couldn’t suppress, and dared not report to the Guardian Army out of fear of exposure. That’s why he’s asking me.”

“Ambushed a passing Pseudo-God?” The white-robed Phantom was inwardly shocked. The Ancestor knows even this?

Jin Xin Pseudo-God only arrived a hundred years ago, yet every move he makes is always extremely covert.

“There’s nothing on Wanlong Star I don’t know.” The deep voice stated, “Aside from relaying the message, were you involved?”

“No, Ancestor. I would never dare.” The white-robed Phantom hastily replied.

“Pass down the word: No one is allowed to intervene… Getting involved now is courting death.” The white-haired Exotic Beast said coldly, “If that golden-haired fool can suppress the situation, that’s his skill. If he cannot… the True God backing him should make a move soon.”

“True God?” The white-robed Phantom’s shock deepened.

“Fool!” The white-haired Exotic Beast finally opened its eyes, their golden glow icy and piercing. “Without a True God backing him, would a Pseudo-God at Peak level like the golden-haired one dare act so brazenly? Even ambush passing Pseudo-Gods?”

“Hmph!”

“Every activation of the Guardian Formation is recorded. What basis does he have for erasing those activation logs?” The white-haired Exotic Beast said deeply.

“If a True God secretly descends, all involved participants will likely face annihilation.”

“Ancestor, can we be spared just by staying hidden on the planet?” The white-robed Phantom was already terrified.

The strength of a True God vastly exceeds that of a Pseudo-God.

Even a Pseudo-God Limit expert struggles to endure a single strike from a True God.

“No fear!”

“I, the Ancestor, am at least a Silver Garment member of the Divine Court.” The white-haired Exotic Beast said coldly, “As long as we don’t interfere, the few True Gods in the Kunli Star System will have to show some respect… Slaying me would only provoke an investigation by the Divine Court.”

“In summary, stay out of it. Just say I’m in secluded cultivation.” The white-haired Exotic Beast instructed.

“Understood.” The white-robed Phantom swiftly complied.

…

Within the boundless void shrouded by grand formations in the Starry Sky.

“Star Master, what’s the situation? Is the old man from Wanlong willing to assist us?”

“He’s a Pseudo-God Limit expert, after all.”

“Also a Silver Garment member of the Divine Court, holding a high status with surely plenty of treasures.”

“If he agrees to help us, there’s no doubt the enemies can be subdued.” The other Pseudo-God soldiers repeatedly messaged the golden-robed Star Master.

Wanlong Star’s designation as a Second Level planet and its status as the core of surrounding planets primarily came down to ‘Wanlong Pseudo-God.’

Within the Chaos Divine Court, members below the Heavenly Divine are divided into four classes.

Demigods are ranked by talent.

But Pseudo-Gods and True Gods are mostly ranked by strength—Black Garment and Silver Garment are typically Pseudo-Gods.

Golden Garment and Purple Garment, on the other hand, are generally True Gods.

Silver Garment members may seem insignificant at the Chaos Divine Court Headquarters but are extremely rare within the Kunli Star System.

“Stop asking.”

“The message from Wanlong Star came back. They won’t assist, claiming an invasion and advising us to contact the Guardian Army instead.” Even the eyes of the golden-robed Star Master were bloodshot.

“What?”

“Contact the Guardian Army?” The Pseudo-Gods listening felt like coughing blood. How could they dare do that?

“Star Master, what now?”

“There are only two Thunder Fire Divine Dragons left. If this goes on, that blade-wielding Pseudo-God will rush here soon.” These Pseudo-Gods were growing increasingly anxious.

They had no choice, as under Li Yuan’s Domain, the ferocity of Zhuang Long Pseudo-God was utterly unmatched.

Even with the Formation’s accumulated Might generating another Thunder Fire Divine Dragon, it still got slaughtered down to two remaining.

“True God, come quickly.” Alone inside a temple, the golden-robed Star Master was also extremely worried.

But he understood full well that the Divine Realm was indeed vast, and that traversing endless Starry Sky through Transmission Arrays required time.

If the distance between the two locations spanned a billion light-years, could one arrive instantly? How could that be possible? Even the Divine King couldn’t manage it!

The farther the distance, the longer the transmission would take.

The higher the grade of the Transmission Array, the less time consumed… This was part of the terrifying strength of the Starry Sky Divine Court.

Even spanning different Star Domains, one could arrive within an extremely short timeframe through the Starry Sky Ancient City.

“The Star System Transmission Array transmits approximately 100 light-years per second.” The golden-robed Star Master calculated internally, “From Blood Talisman Star to here, it’s about 4,000 light-years.”

Which means the True God will take at least 40 seconds to arrive!!

40 seconds might not sound long.

But in battles between Pseudo-God levels, even a single second is enough for dozens or hundreds of exchanges.
