High-Level Martial Era - Chapter 1007

Chapter 1007: Chapter 501: You Forced Me! Met Li Yuan, the Divine Son (9K)_5
 

“I…”

“No!” The stationed Void Gods were utterly stunned, especially the Golden-haired Void God. His eyes widened in disbelief, unable to fathom that after all he had done for the other side, this was the end he met.

In an instant, his soul was annihilated.

Thus, all twelve stationed Void Gods met their deaths.

“Kill!” Zhuang Long Void God, knowing his life hung by a thread, erupted with all his might. His body transformed into a towering figure several hundred meters tall, wielding four massive curved blades, each strike unleashing terrifying arcs of blade light in an attempt to fend off the overwhelming tide of blood surging toward him.

“Even in death.”

“I will die fighting.” Zhuang Long Void God’s heart roared, fully aware of his slim chances of survival today.

The gap between a Void God and a True God was simply too vast.

“Struggle? A mere Void God, perish!” Zhuang Long Void God’s eyes turned frigid.

The distance between him and Li Yuan was merely over a hundred kilometers, yet the towering tide of blood was already upon him.

And then, in that exact moment.

Hiss~

An invisible ripple swept through the air. The instant Blood Sigil True God’s sealed space activated, it was already pierced through by Li Yuan.

In terms of Space Law Comprehension, Li Yuan’s mastery was superior.

The next moment, a small cyan serpent coiled itself around Li Yuan’s right arm. Its eyes glimmered with an intense killing intent.

Meanwhile, an irregular red stone surfaced in the palm of his left hand, emanating an unfathomable aura.

“I didn’t want to get involved in this.” Li Yuan sighed inwardly and commanded in a low tone, “Little Ice, act now!”

A surge of Li Yuan’s soul aura erupted fully, activating the “Dream Realm Stone” in its entirety. Without hesitation, he released the True God-level Soul Secret Technique, the “Black Soul Abyss”!

This was his most potent Soul Killing Move.

A year had passed. Li Yuan’s Soul Realm had reached its limit, with no further breakthroughs possible. Yet, his research on Soul Secret Techniques had reached new heights.

He had grown stronger than when he had slain the Chi Yan True God.

Buzz~~~!

A terrifying soul wave descended in an instant, enveloping the Blood Sigil True God… Though Blood Sigil True God’s soul defense was slightly stronger than that of Chi Yan True God, he still succumbed immediately.

“No! It’s a True God-level Secret Technique.” The thought barely crossed Blood Sigil True God’s mind.

A flash of confusion swept across his gaze as his soul consciousness plunged into a boundless dark abyss.

Whoosh, whoosh~ As his soul consciousness sank, the might of the blood tide controlled by Blood Sigil True God diminished drastically.

“Boom!”

The resounding clash between blade light and the blood tide echoed. Zhuang Long Void God was struck by the blood tide, sent flying backward, feeling his Divine Body tremble violently.

“I’m only injured?”

“Was it Brother Xu Yuan’s soul attack? Did he trap Blood Sigil True God?” Zhuang Long Void God was staggered. “What kind of soul attack is this powerful? Is he truly just a Void God?”

He knew full well that if Blood Sigil True God’s consciousness hadn’t been subdued, this strike would have left him either dead or gravely wounded.

But the scene that followed, was one Zhuang Long Void God would never forget for the rest of his life.

In that moment when the overwhelming blood tide surged forward.

“Go!”

Out from the Ancient Divine Palace stepped Liu Bing, holding a floating cyan leaf before her. This leaf shimmered with an exquisite verdant glow, exuding a potent aura of life.

The instant it appeared, it seemed as though the entire world lost its color.

Immediately after, the cyan leaf shattered.

Whoosh~

As it fractured, an invisible ripple burst forth from the cyan leaf, dissolving the incoming layers of the blood tide into nothingness. The ripple surged straight toward Blood Sigil True God.

The fallen-consciousness Blood Sigil True God had no means to mount any resistance… That ripple swept through him effortlessly.

Space twisted, crumbled!

Blood Sigil True God’s body began to break apart layer by layer… In the midst of the harrowing pain of his soul being torn apart, Blood Sigil True God regained consciousness, terror blazing in his eyes.

Li Yuan made no further soul attacks—it wasn’t necessary anymore.

“No!” Blood Sigil True God tried to struggle but was completely enveloped by the invisible ripple.

Despite his utmost efforts, he couldn’t alter the outcome in the slightest. The space surrounding him fractured like glass, piece by piece, and his body disintegrated along with it until nothing remained!

An eerie silence fell!

Blood Sigil True God, dead!

In this part of the void, only Li Yuan and Zhuang Long Void God remained.

Whoosh! With a wave of his hand, Li Yuan sent Little Ice back into the Ancient Divine Palace.

“This…?” Zhuang Long Void God trembled in shock, feeling as though everything before him was surreal.

Just moments ago, Li Yuan’s overwhelming soul attack had shattered all expectations.

Immediately after, a Semi-Divine Flying Serpent had appeared and used a strange leaf to directly slay a True God?

Zhuang Long Void God, who had lived for over a thousand years and encountered numerous True Gods—and even glimpsed Heavenly Divine beings—had never seen such a heaven-defying and terrifying treasure.

A Semi-Divine being wielding a treasure capable of slaying a True God with a single strike?

What kind of treasure was this?

“Brother Xu Yuan, you… you killed a True God?” Zhuang Long Void God swallowed hard, unable to resist asking, “What exactly is your identity? Are you a powerful member of the Wandao Divine Court?”

Zhuang Long Void God was now certain that Li Yuan hailed from an extraordinary background.

“Brother Zhuang Long, focus on figuring out how to clear your own name.” Li Yuan shook his head and sighed.

Inside, Li Yuan lamented his loss.

A slaughter treasure of this magnitude—Liu Bing had only two, while Li Yuan himself possessed just one… All meant to be used for life-preserving purposes.

Although he had suspected Blood Sigil True God’s true identity, he hadn’t wanted to escalate the confrontation… But the other side struck first without hesitation.

Left with no choice, Li Yuan decisively retaliated, daring not to hesitate even for an instant.

Hesitation when facing a True God was a death sentence!

“It seems Little Ice had quite the fortuitous encounter on the Jue Xing Continent,” Li Yuan mused, countless thoughts racing through his mind. “Could it be treasures left behind by the Sky Blue God King?”

Among Liu Bing’s two treasures, one could slay a True God Peak expert with a single thought, slightly weaker than Li Yuan’s own life-preserving artifact.

The survival artifact given to Li Yuan by Senior Xing was said to be capable of annihilating anyone below a Heavenly Divine in one strike.

Even so, treasures capable of slaying a True God Peak expert were exceedingly rare and precious, to the point where even Heavenly Divines often couldn’t refine such items.

Whew!

Li Yuan waved his hand, gathering all the treasures left behind by Blood Sigil True God and the other Void Gods. Zhuang Long Void God did not object.

These spoils of war rightfully belonged to Li Yuan.

“Brother Xu Yuan.”

“If you’re a powerful figure from another great faction, I suggest you leave quickly.” Zhuang Long Void God said hastily, “Although the Blood Sigil True God attacked first… he was nonetheless a Guardian General of the Divine Court and definitely a member of their Golden Garment ranks. With his death, the regional branch of the Divine Court will already be aware and will surely dispatch supreme powerhouses to investigate, at least a True God Peak powerhouse.”

“Even if he was at fault, there’s now no evidence to support it, and you’ll be in grave trouble,” Zhuang Long warned.

“Brother Zhuang Long, you’re quite kind.” Li Yuan laughed. “You’re not worried?”

“At least I’m a Silver Garment member of the Divine Court, and my teacher is a Golden Garment True God.” Zhuang Long shook his head. “As long as the matter is investigated thoroughly, my life won’t be in danger.”

“Well then, let’s wait. I trust the Chaos Divine Court will handle the matter impartially.” Li Yuan chuckled.

Zhuang Long was taken aback.

He wasn’t foolish. How could he not realize that Li Yuan was likely also a member of the Chaos Divine Court?

“Could Brother Xu Yuan possibly be a Golden Garment member from the headquarters?” Zhuang Long asked cautiously.

“Why do you think that?” Li Yuan smiled.

“Golden Garment Semi-Divines from the Chaos Divine Court Headquarters,” Zhuang Long explained, “some directly become True Gods upon their breakthroughs, while others linger for a while in the Void God Realm but retain their Golden Garment status… Eventually, they almost all ascend to become True Gods.”

“Why not a Purple Garment?” Li Yuan teased.

“Brother Xu Yuan, please don’t joke.” Zhuang Long shook his head. “A Purple Garment Semi-Divine, upon ascending, would at minimum become a True God Middle Rank powerhouse, while some might even immediately reach True God Peak.”

Li Yuan nodded in acknowledgment.

Indeed, under normal circumstances, Purple Garment Semi-Divines seldom linger within the Void God Realm.

The two waited patiently in the void.

Not long after.

Whoosh!

A massive Transmission Array in the distant void suddenly erupted with a brilliant light, followed by the emergence of two figures radiating overwhelming pressure.

True Gods!

And two exceptionally powerful True Gods!

Whoosh! Whoosh! The divine senses of the two True Gods swept across the void, appearing instantly before Li Yuan and Zhuang Long Void God.

“Teacher! Nie Hu True God!” Zhuang Long exclaimed joyously, bowing respectfully.

“Nie Hu True God.” Li Yuan cupped his hands in greeting toward Nie Hu True God.

Then, Li Yuan turned and nodded toward the black-robed True God. “Hong Kai True God.”

“Li Yuan? I didn’t expect to find you here.” Nie Hu True God’s eyes lit up. “Haha, excellent! Truly excellent!”

“Li Yuan?” Hong Kai True God, Zhuang Long’s teacher, displayed a look of surprise and saluted with a smile. “I greet you, Divine Son Li Yuan.”

“Divine Son Li Yuan?” Zhuang Long’s eyes widened. “You’re a Divine Son? But aren’t you a Void God?”

“Zhuang Long, have you paid your respects to Divine Son Li Yuan?” Hong Kai True God reprimanded sternly.
