High-Level Martial Era - Chapter 818

Chapter 818: Chapter 427 Threat! Three Months are Up_2
 

Auxiliary Star Techniques like the “True Solution of the Earth Star Vein” require fewer treasures.

And for abilities like the “All Things Divine Body,” Li Yuan estimated that he would need nearly two thousand Fangshen Crystals to cultivate from the Third Rank to the peak of the Fourth Rank.

Five schools with Nine Layer Star Technique.

Even if three of the Star Techniques are lacking some treasures… adding them all together, it definitely exceeds four thousand Fangshen Crystals.

“Let’s settle it this way.”

“A Pseudo-God of Illusions, for 5000 Fangshen Crystals,” Li Yuan pondered for a moment and then said, “I’ll remember this favor in my heart.”

“But you also have costs in acquiring so many treasures… I can’t let you make a loss; otherwise, next time I won’t feel comfortable asking you to help me purchase treasures again.”

Whoosh! Li Yuan flipped his hand and passed a Storage Treasure, containing two thousand Fangshen Crystals, to the Pseudo-God of Illusions.

Seeing Li Yuan’s seriousness, the Pseudo-God of Illusions could not help but give a wry smile and nodded, accepting the two thousand Fangshen Crystals.

After chatting for a while, Li Yuan bid farewell.

Standing on the pavilion, the Pseudo-God of Illusions watched Li Yuan vanish into the clouds with a sigh in his heart: “Trying to owe a favor from this Mr. Xu Yuan is indeed difficult.”

As a Peak Pseudo-God, she didn’t care about one or two thousand crystals; if possible, she would even gladly give them all to Li Yuan for free.

But clearly, Li Yuan did not want to owe her too much.

“Flying Heaven Level, yet capable of unleashing the power of a Demigod at its limit.” The Pseudo-God of Illusions pondered internally: “Could it be that Xu Yuan’s Law Comprehension has reached the standard of the ‘Law Will’ at the Eighth Stage?”

“No matter what.”

“Our Abyss Country has indeed produced an incredible genius,” the Pseudo-God of Illusions thought quietly: “But it’s unknown which True God is behind the assassination attempt on Li Yuan that even the Divine deities are willing to risk their lives.”

“It’s probably an enemy of the King.”

Without a doubt.

To employ a mighty Pseudo-God for an assassination, the one behind it must be extraordinary…

…

Above the Yuan Country Capital, within the Imperial Palace.

“Demigod at its limit?”

Jiang Yuan True God, looking at the information and the Combat Image delivered by the Shadow Pseudo-God, thought: “And to be unaffected by a soul attack from a Peak Pseudo-God?”

“My little junior brother is even more powerful than I imagined,” thought Jiang Yuan True God to himself.

He is quite the entity, looking across the entire Jue Xing Continent, there is no True God who dares to claim to be stronger than him.

Even the Heavenly Divines are quite polite to him, almost all have acknowledged that he is the most likely candidate from the Jue Xing Continent to Ascend to Heavenly God.

His vision is extremely high, and his ambition is equally vast, unwilling to be confined to this world.

“Every strength has its reasons.”

“Although Xu Yuan is of Eight Star Veins, after all, he’s at the Flying Heaven Level, and his Spear Technique is at the Initial Rank of Pseudo-God level… True Divine Instrument? No! At most, he uses Top-Grade Virtual Divine Artifact.” Jiang Yuan True God analyzed quickly: “Either, he has an exceptionally special Secret Treasure for protection.”

“Or, his Star Technique is particularly powerful, and he should have cultivated more than one Nine Layer Star Technique.”

Jiang Yuan True God speculated a little and then became certain of his conjecture in his heart.

“Nine Layer Star Techniques, it’s not easy to find ones that fit him, and yet, he could practice several, indeed not unworthy of being an unparalleled genius from the Chaos Divine Court,” Jiang Yuan True God thought.

Instantly.

A trace of murderous intent flickered in the eyes of Jiang Yuan True God: “Hmph! You dare to come to my lair and attempt an assassination? Truly audacious!”

Whoosh!

With a thought, Jiang Yuan True God left the Temple and arrived in seconds at the location where the battle had occurred.

A mess.

A massive crater tens of kilometers in diameter, the previously tidy streets, bustling with many shops, have all turned to nothingness… if not for the Formation that envelops the Royal Capital, the scope of destruction would have been far greater.

“Halt!”

“Reverse! Sense!” Jiang Yuan True God stood in the void, with even a significant number of the Yuan Country’s Forbidden Army around, none could detect his presence.

As if he were in a different layer of space.

Whoosh~ An invisible fluctuation enveloped the area, and Jiang Yuan True God’s gaze became misty as his vision completely changed… in his eyes, the surrounding scenes were rapidly shifting.

As if time was reversing.

The flow of time was retracing!

Of course, this scene was only visible to Jiang Yuan True God, those Demigods nearby had no clue whatsoever.

This spell, extremely difficult to cast, requires a True God with a high comprehension of Space Law, or to be a Heavenly God to perform… and can only trace back a period of time at most.

The longer one wants to trace back, the harder it becomes.

For someone like Jiang Yuan True God, he can at most trace back a local area within a couple of days… and that’s without interference from other powerful beings distorting the space.

If some powerful beings intentionally disrupt the spatial waves, tracing back becomes even more challenging.

However.

Li Yuan, Shadow Pseudo-God, Xing Chan Pseudo-God, in their battle, though appearing fierce, only caused slight ripples in the space, naturally not affecting Jiang Yuan True God’s ability to cast this spell.

“Whoosh~whoosh~whoosh~” Along with the casting of the spell, Jiang Yuan True God’s understanding of the cause and consequence of this battle became increasingly clear.

Much clearer than a mere combat image.

“This Pseudo-God, his strength should be at the Peak of Pseudo-God,” Jiang Yuan True God’s gaze turned icy: “The Law he is proficient in is…”

Whoosh~

Ten small, fist-sized red Crystal Stone orbs materialized before Jiang Yuan True God, followed by the orbs changing aura continuously, eventually stabilizing… If Li Yuan and Shadow Pseudo-God were here, they would be shocked to discover that the soul aura of the Pseudo-God they encountered was identical to the aura emitted by these ten orbs.

Simulating soul aura!!

Appearance can change, attire can change, even combat weapons and moves can change… but the soul aura is almost immutable.

To trace the conspirator behind the scenes, Jiang Yuan True God’s first step is to figure out who the assassin is.

Before long.

A woman dressed in a light and soft purple gauze dress, seemingly like mist, appeared: “My King.”
