High-Level Martial Era - Chapter 1055

Chapter 1055: Chapter 516: The First Demigod of Source Fire Star (Requesting Monthly Tickets at the Beginning of the Month)
 

Source Fire Realm, vast and endless like a forge of flames, is divided into ten layers.

Each layer contains numerous combat spaces, housing a large number of combat puppets, providing ample opportunity for Source Fire Star demigods to explore and refine themselves.

Due to the previous attempt having reached the Seventh Layer and ultimately failing at the Eighth Layer.

Therefore, Li Yuan need not start from the bottom this time, but can directly challenge the Eighth Layer.

The combat space of the Eighth Layer is boundless, with dozens of puppets of distinct auras, playing with one another.

As god-level puppets, though they are not true life forms, they possess consciousness. Over the long years, they can feel boredom and monotony, naturally seeking some enjoyment. Some puppet consciousnesses, after enduring countless years, even become so weary of this existence that thoughts of ‘suicide’ arise.

The puppets of the Eighth Layer are even more prone to boredom compared to those of the previous layers.

Because, only a few Source Fire Star members can reach this layer.

Usually, only Purple Garment members and the top-tier Golden Garment members can get here.

“Someone is coming.”

“Quick, prepare for battle.”

“It’s been a very long time since a Source Fire Star member arrived.” These combat puppets simultaneously received an alert from the Source Fire Realm managers, and they sensed the aura from afar.

Whoosh! A Black Garment figure flew down into this massive hall spanning thousands of kilometers.

“It is Li Yuan, Divine Son.”

“So, it is Li Yuan, Divine Son. Long time no see.”

“It’s been fifty years since the last meeting.” These combat puppets showed smiles.

Fifty years ago, Li Yuan first ventured into the Source Fire Realm, and it was in this combat space that he was defeated by them jointly.

“How have you all been these years?” Li Yuan also smiled as they were old acquaintances.

These combat puppets are mainly divided into four types.

Vajra Puppets, resembling humanoid giants, standing a thousand meters tall, like a mighty mountain. They excel in strength, their material attacks are strongest, and their physical defenses are exceedingly robust.

Blood Shadow Puppets, about a hundred meters high, resembling mantises, entirely blood-colored, with six sharp claws, are natural-born warriors, speed is their forte.

Illusion Demon Puppets, their forms uncertain and illusionary, the smallest, with average material attacks and material defenses, but excel in soul attacks.

The above three types are all susceptible to combatants’ soul attacks, in short, as long as the soul attack is strong, any of these three puppet types can be effortlessly swept away.

Except for the last type—White Ape Puppets.

They absorb advantages of Vajra and Blood Shadow Puppets, their overall strength most terrifying. They cannot deploy soul attacks but are invulnerable to any soul attack.

When nine White Ape Puppets join forces, their combined strength is quite frightening.

“Oh?” One White Ape Puppet smiled: “Judging from Li Yuan Divine Son’s demeanor, it seems his strength has grown significantly, with such confidence, could he possibly have the assurance to defeat us nine brothers?”

The last time when attempting the Eighth Layer, Li Yuan swept away the three types of puppets with soul attacks but was defeated by them.

“Why not try and see?” Li Yuan smiled and flipped his hand, holding the Silver Moon Divine Spear.

In the Source Fire Realm, apart from Law Treasures, puppets, and other external items, other divine treasures, and such can be used… Source Fire Realm tests the true combat power of its members.

Li Yuan is able to use treasures like the Silver Moon Divine Spear and the Dream Realm Stone.

“Confident.”

“Join forces!”

“Li Yuan Divine Son, be careful.” The thirty-six puppets in this hall instantly showed interest.

They moved directly.

Swish! Swish! Swish! Nine Blood Shadow Puppets with terrifying speed, like nine streaks of blood light, rushed towards Li Yuan.

“Buzz~”

“Buzz~” Nine Illusion Demon Puppets simultaneously launched soul attacks, completely enveloping Li Yuan… Even though Li Yuan had defeated them previously with soul attacks, as puppets, they each displayed their strongest moves.

Boom! Boom! Nine Vajra Puppets, and nine White Ape Puppets all rushed over roaring.

Once they burst into action, each of these god-level puppets was incredibly terrifying, all barely possessing the limit of Pseudo-God level strength.

“Hoo!”

Li Yuan stood at the same place, taking a step forward and directly activated “Fatian Xiangdi,” his body began to swell rapidly, under the operation of Star Vein Star Skill, blood, muscles, bones, Origin Power, and other strengths were all surging.

In a blink, he reached a height of three thousand meters, like a towering mountain, exuding immense, endless aura.

In front of Li Yuan, even the Vajra Puppets seemed very small, and the other puppets appeared like little spots.

“Suppress!”

“Heaven and Earth River! Starlight Long River!” Li Yuan felt the gushing Origin Power within his body and directly deployed domain techniques.

Nine Layer Star Technique “Heaven and Earth River!”

God King Domain Secret Skill “Chaos Heaven and Earth” First Realm ‘Starlight Long River.’

With Li Yuan’s comprehension of ‘Space World,’ in more than a year, by somewhat diversifying his focus and cooperating with various treasures, he had acquired entry-level understanding of “Chaos Heaven and Earth,” a God King level secret skill.

The two moves combined.

“Boom!” Endless earthy yellow mist surged, the mist almost materialized, flickering with endless starlight, like the galaxy falling to dust from nine heavens, a drop of ‘water’ could kill a demigod… The endless ‘river water’ converged, with awesome might.

Instantly swept away the thirty-six puppets before him.

They had no chance to resist.

Eighth Layer, conquered!

These dozens of puppets gaped in disbelief.

“No need to deploy soul attacks.”

“Just with material domain, easily swept through the Eighth Layer.” Li Yuan smiled, directly flying to the higher Ninth Layer.

Fifty years have passed, Li Yuan’s strength indeed transformed dramatically.

Not only his law comprehension surged, mastering various combat secret skills.

After training in “Fatian Xiangdi,” his Origin Power’s might surged… When combined in deployment, even just using domains easily swept through Pseudo-God level limits.

…

Source Fire Realm Ninth Layer, guarded by thirty-six puppets here, whose overall strength is ten times stronger than the Eighth Layer.

However, they couldn’t stop even Xue Yu Semi-Divine, so how could they stop Li Yuan?

In terms of law comprehension, Li Yuan could almost rival the True God Limit, equivalent to the Twelve Realms of Nine Heavens Palace.

Still relying only on domain techniques, he swept through the thirty-six puppets of the Ninth Level.

The battle ended.

Li Yuan retracted his domain techniques.

“Congratulations, Divine Son Li Yuan.”

“Breaking through the Ninth Level so effortlessly, such strength in combat already makes you the top Demigod of Source Fire Star.”

“Officially at the summit.”

“Looking across the entire Divine Realm, with thousands of Star Domains and billions of Star Systems… among countless Demigods nowadays, perhaps none are stronger than you.” The thirty-six puppets were extremely excited.

Guarding the Source Fire Realm, what they most anticipated was for more members of the Source Fire Realm to defeat them.

The more people defeated them, the stronger the Chaos Divine Court became.

“The number one Demigod of the current age in the Divine Realm?” Li Yuan smiled as he had already received the message from the Source Fire God.

Already arrived at

Chaos Divine Court, known as the greatest force in the Divine Realm… Becoming the top Demigod of the Chaos Divine Court grants eligibility to contest as the number one Demigod of the Divine Realm.

However.

That is just the top of the current Demigods.

Li Yuan’s goals are not limited to this.

“Having passed the Ninth Level of the Source Fire Realm, you have reached the ultimate Pseudo-God Level. Going further to the Tenth Level, once passed, means possessing True God threshold combat power,” said the leading White Ape Puppet with a smile. “Throughout the Divine Court, such a peerless genius only emerges once every ten thousand years.”

“I wonder if Divine Son Li Yuan wishes to continue?”

Li Yuan nodded slightly.

In the history of Source Fire Star, the most recent person to pass the Tenth Level of the Source Fire Realm was the ‘Purple Roc Demigod.’

“Charge!” Li Yuan said in a low voice as he continued towards the Tenth Level.

…

Outside the Source Fire Realm, a giant stele was already shining brightly, and the hundreds of Demigods gathered there clearly saw the changes in the names on it.

The highest name had changed from Xue Yu to ‘Li Yuan.’

“Has he passed the Ninth Level?”

“He actually passed!”

“Li Yuan has ascended to the top? How many years has it been? He is only just over a hundred years old now.”

“Just over a hundred years old, passed the Ninth Level of the Source Fire Realm? And is ranked first?”

“This!!”

“Even Semi-God Shi Qing, though young, is actually close to three hundred years old.” This group of Source Fire Star members was in an uproar.

Among the Three Great Trial Lands, Li Yuan had long been number one on the Heart Dream Road.

And now, he has once again ascended to the top of the Source Fire Realm… and that is without having challenged the Nine Heavens Palace.

Once he challenges it, he is likely to be first as well.

“The new number one Demigod of Source Fire Star?”

“Undisputed!”

“Don’t forget, Divine Son Li Yuan hasn’t come out yet. He is probably still challenging the Tenth Level.”

“Still challenging? Could he, like the Purple Roc, break through the Tenth Level in one go?” All these Source Fire Star members kept their eyes on the stele.

Meanwhile.

The news about Li Yuan ‘passing the Ninth Level, ranking first in the Source Fire Realm, and challenging the Tenth Level’ was spreading rapidly on Source Fire Star.

…

Source Fire Star, inside a quiet chamber within a massive estate.

“Attempting to awaken a Perfect Star Vein is truly difficult.” Ning Chi sat cross-legged within the Meditation Array.

He was frowning in thought: “I painstakingly completed the ‘Returning Heart Task,’ obtained the ‘Returning Heart Divine Technique,’ and after paying a huge price to cultivate it, I only managed to awaken one more Nine Layer Star Vein, yet still couldn’t awaken a Perfect Star Vein.”

“I tried everything from the Jue Xing Continent’s ‘Jue Xing Divine Pill’, Awakening Star Sacred Fruit, Returning Heavenly Divine Technique… yet still couldn’t succeed. Is awakening this Perfect Star Skill really so hard?” Ning Chi was extremely frustrated: “Could it really require me to establish a Spiritual Void Realm?”

“But even Purple Roc and Xue Yu couldn’t achieve that, how could I possibly succeed?”

Ning Chi, as a Purple Garment Demigod, represented one of the top among the tens of thousands of Eight Star Veins Demigods on Source Fire Star.

He had already awakened five Nine Layer Star Veins.

But even so, awakening a Perfect Star Vein remained incredibly difficult.

“No way!”

“If it really doesn’t work, I’ll have to challenge the ‘Returning Heart’s Desire Sea’ to further develop my Soul Will.” Ning Chi gritted his teeth.

Having finally advanced to a Purple Garment Demigod, he couldn’t accept not being able to cultivate the Perfect Star Skill.

Suddenly.

“Hmm? Ji Ning is messaging me?” A trace of doubt flashed across Ning Chi’s heart; this was a Golden Garment Demigod from the same Star Domain as him, with whom he had a good relationship.

He immediately checked the message, and then widened his eyes: “Li Yuan has already passed the Ninth Level of the Source Fire Realm? And is currently battling the Tenth Level, and quite some time has already passed?”

“This monster.”

“Could he really break through the Tenth Level?” Ning Chi’s figure moved and he left his estate, flying towards the Source Fire Realm.

…

Within another massive estate.

“Li Yuan, passed the Ninth Level?” Blood Shadow Demigod’s eyes widened too: “And ranked above me?”

He instantly recalled how he had encouraged Li Yuan over a year ago, hoping the latter wouldn’t be surpassed by Shi Qing… and in the blink of an eye, he had already surpassed him.

“Is he really so strong?”

Blood Shadow Demigod also rushed towards the Source Fire Realm.

At this moment, many Demigods of Source Fire Star who had received the news all wanted to witness this themselves.

They all wanted to know if Li Yuan could pass the Tenth Level of the Source Fire Realm.
