High-Level Martial Era - Chapter 902

Chapter 902: Chapter 458 Li Yuan and Yu Ting
 

(Explanation for Liu Bing at the end of the previous chapter)

“Having stepped into the Semi-Divine Realm for over seven years now, it’s been more than six years since I’ve condensed the True Intention of Space.” Li Yuan revealed a smile: “I’ve finally brought all three Laws of the Great Dao to Eighth Stage level.”

If counting from when he truly began to comprehend the Mysteries of the Universe with the Fifth Stage Skill, Li Yuan has been delving into the universe’s mysteries for just over twenty years.

During his time adventuring in the Lonely Cloud World, Li Yuan’s Law of Earth was the first to cross into the Eighth Stage level.

The Wind Law, on the other hand, was a bit slower in terms of comprehension.

“However, over these years, my fastest progress has been in the Space Law.” Li Yuan glanced at the Divine Palace panel from the corner of his eye.

——

[Skill Realm: True Intention of Space (Eighth Stage Intermediate Rank), Law of Earth (Eighth Stage Initial Rank), Wind Law (Eighth Stage Initial Rank), True Meaning of Fire (Sixth Stage Perfection)…]

…

In just over six years, he had advanced the True Intention of Space from Eighth Stage Initial Rank to Eighth Stage Intermediate Rank… Moreover, Li Yuan’s True Intention of Space had been at Eighth Stage Intermediate Rank for nearly a year now, a pace that was absolutely astonishing.

If this were made known, it would certainly leave countless True Gods slack-jawed in disbelief.

After all, Li Yuan did not possess bloodline power enhancements like the Holy Blood Heavenly Serpent or the Five-clawed Golden Dragon; he was merely an ordinary life form.

With bloodline power, comprehension directly permeates with the passage of time, and until the bloodline reaches its limit, there is virtually no bottleneck.

Whether it’s a Space Dao Body or techniques like the Void True Understanding, they only increase the compatibility with the Origin of the Law; ultimately, the cultivator still has to comprehend it step by step.

There is a fundamental difference between the two.

“In terms of comprehension speed for the Basic Laws, I am nowhere near Little Ice.”

“But when it comes to the comprehension of the Space Law, even top-level Divine Beasts like Little Ice, whose bloodline powers fully erupted after becoming Semi-Divine, probably can’t catch up with me.” Li Yuan wore a smile.

Comparing cultivation speed with top Divine Beasts, nine out of ten Heavenly Divine beings are inferior.

Take Jiang Yuan, for instance, who possesses extraordinary talent and many fortuitous encounters; he still spent ten thousand years to barely reach the True God Limit level.

What about the Holy Blood Heavenly Serpent, the Five-clawed Golden Dragon, and the like? Even without cultivating, they could gain True God Limit strength in at most a millennium.

Such is the terrifying aspect of bloodline power, something other people can only envy.

Any truly ambitious top-level Divine Beast would not slack off because of this; instead, they would cultivate even more diligently, striving to lay a more perfect foundation. This is because the pinnacle of a bloodline’s potential is the ‘True God Limit’; beyond that, one must tread the path alone.

Top Divine Beasts must also cultivate diligently to have a chance to Ascend to Heavenly God.

“However, months have passed, and I still haven’t encountered Little Ice.” Li Yuan thought silently.

The Ancestral Realm is too vast.

Even if Li Yuan were to travel in a straight line at full speed, it would still take two days to cross the Ancestral Realm.

Moreover, it’s unrealistic to maintain the ‘Void Travel’ state continuously, as it consumes Origin Power too rapidly; even someone with Origin Power as strong as Li Yuan cannot sustain it.

Usually, Li Yuan would fly normally, only bursting forth at critical moments.

This was also why Li Yuan had yet to encounter any first-tier demi-gods so far.

“With the breakthrough of the Wind Law, I no longer have any weaknesses.”

“In the short term, it’s difficult for the three major Laws to undergo any qualitative change.” A glint appeared in Li Yuan’s eyes: “What I need to do now is to continue seeking other demi-gods to hone my Spear Technique.”

Law Integration and then the comprehension of Combat Secret Skills have always been where Li Yuan falls short compared to other top-level demi-gods.

No choice, Li Yuan’s comprehension speed for the Laws is just too fast.

Whether it’s Jing Kui, Semi-Divine Lianyun, or others who have comprehended True God level Combat Secret Skills, haven’t they all spent decades or even hundreds of years?

How long has it been since Li Yuan stepped into the Semi-Divine Realm?

“Previously, most of my time was spent on cultivation.” Li Yuan thought silently: “Half a year has passed, and the remaining participants should all be relatively strong. By defeating them, the Points I can obtain should be quite substantial.”

“Moreover.”

“I also need to find some formidable semi-gods.” Li Yuan was quite expectant in his heart.

Although the vast majority of semi-gods have neither the Origin Power nor Star Techniques to match him.

But those participants whose combat techniques have reached the Pseudo-God Peak or Pseudo-God Limit level are indeed numerous.

Whoosh!

Without a sound, Li Yuan left the area.

…

In the blink of an eye, roughly half a month had passed since the breakthrough of the Wind Law; upon a vast, desolate plain.

The fierce wind howled!

Li Yuan concealed his breath, flying through the void, his gaze sweeping over a huge dragon-shaped corpse left on the ground below.

A fallen demi-god.

“It should be a demi-god of the Divine Dragon Clan.” Li Yuan thought to himself: “Did it fail to escape?”

The Divine Dragon Clan is an extremely vast and terrifying group in the Divine Realm, one that could be considered next to the Human Race as one of the top major clans… Among this clan’s top Divine Beasts, such as ‘Five-clawed Golden Dragon’ and ‘Mystic Jade Yellow Dragon’, share the same potential as the Holy Blood Heavenly Serpent when it comes to bloodline potential.

The most formidable aspect of the Divine Dragon Clan is their extremely strong ability to proliferate and assimilate other races. Pure-blooded dragons can reproduce with most Alien Races, resulting in offspring that all manifest characteristics of the Divine Dragon Clan.

Consequently, these ‘Mixed-blood dragons’ become part of the Divine Dragon Clan.

This terrifying ability to proliferate and assimilate is unmatched by other Divine Beast Clans.

Numbers are important!

Like the Human Race, whose individuals largely possess weak bloodlines, but filled with Spirituality, there would inevitably be terrifying beings born that shake the Divine Realm.

“However, in this world, the Divine Dragon Clan seems to be at a disadvantage compared to the Heavenly Serpent Clan.” Li Yuan pondered silently: “I haven’t heard of the emergence of any top-level Divine Dragon bloodlines.”

Suddenly.

“Hm?” Li Yuan abruptly turned his head to look into the depths of the void, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes: “Such intense fluctuations of heaven and earth.”

“Could it be that top-contenders ranked in the top hundred are in combat?”

According to Li Yuan’s senses, this battle should be about ten thousand kilometers away… With such a distance, the intensity of the fluctuations indicated that the battle must be extremely fierce.

Whiz!

Li Yuan instantly used Void Travel, boosting his speed to 200 kilometers per second, and after only a few dozen seconds, he was close.

However.

As Li Yuan approached, the battle was evidently over.

Among the collapsed mountain ranges, a terrifying slash of saber light flashed past, splitting a demigod who couldn’t dodge in time into two halves, with the aftermath of the saber light causing the earth to shake violently.

Dead.

“So weak! A single soul attack from me caused him to be hit directly, not even having a chance to initiate teleportation,” a cold voice echoed in the void, coming from a demigod of the Human Race wielding a combat saber.

He was clad in black armor, with a face around thirty years old, strong and powerful arms, and what was most striking were his eyes, sharp as an eagle’s.

Captivating.

Apart from him, not far behind stood a young man in green clothing, with handsome features and a natural aristocratic air, his robes fluttering as if he were not here to participate in the battle, but more as if he were on an outing.

Amidst the collapsed mountain ranges, numerous demigod corpses could subtly be seen, belonging to the Human Race and Beast Clan alike.

“Rank twenty-eight on the points board, Dao Ying?” Li Yuan’s gaze swept over the man in black armor.

From the aura fluctuations emitted by the opponent’s furious slash, Li Yuan captured the relevant information.

Being ranked twenty-eight was enough to prove his terrifying strength, even though it might not reach Pseudo-God Peak, it was estimated to be very close.

“Dao Ying, one of the geniuses who suddenly emerged in the war of the Ancestral Realm,” Li Yuan thought.

“And the other one, why do I vaguely feel that he poses an even greater threat to me?” Li Yuan frowned.

Whoosh!

Li Yuan directly initiated Divine Palace Exploration.

“[Target Life Level 48.9, killing will yield Spirituality Nourishment]”

“[Target Life Level 48.9…]” Li Yuan received the inquiry result and was slightly startled.

Both are Eight Star Veins?

Since when have Eight Star Veins become so common? Where did these mysterious geniuses come from? A sense of wariness rose in Li Yuan’s heart.

From the remnants of the battlefield.

Li Yuan could deduce that these two powerhouses had encountered a demigod team and wiped them out.

At this stage in the Ancestral Realm war, it wasn’t rare for demigods to form teams of multiple individuals, even up to dozens.

Although joining forces in larger numbers meant lower efficiency in gaining points, it was advantageous for safety.

Suddenly.

“Friend, you’ve been here so long, do you still need to hide?” The young man in green suddenly looked up towards Li Yuan’s location, “Why not come over for a chat?”

His voice, powered by mighty Origin Power, reverberated through nearly a thousand kilometers of void in an instant.

Li Yuan was inwardly surprised, as he had thoroughly concealed his presence; to still be detected from such a distance was a first for him.

But in Li Yuan’s heart, there was no fear, but rather a trace of excitement; his figure moved, no longer concealed.

Woosh~ The seemingly empty void twisted, and Li Yuan, in black garments wielding a silver long spear, descended in the sky above the mountain range.

He was nearly two hundred kilometers away from the two powerful beings, facing them from afar.

“There’s another one?” Dao Ying, with eyes sharp as an eagle and a burly figure, immediately focused on Li Yuan.

That aggressive gaze seemed as if it would devour Li Yuan whole.

“Sir possesses an impressive art of concealing one’s aura, to have eluded my brother and me. Your comprehension of the Mysteries of Space must be extremely high,” the young man in green remained composed with a smile, “You must not be a nobody.”

“Jue Xing Xu Yuan,” Li Yuan stated indifferently, “May I ask who you are?”

Once they began to fight, his identity would be exposed too, so there was no need to hide it.

“The fifth-ranked Jue Xing Xu Yuan?” The armored powerhouse Dao Ying’s eyes lit up, a strong desire to battle surging within him, and turning to the young man in green, he directly said, “Yu Ting, defeating him would allow me to enter the top ten.”

Yu Ting?

Li Yuan’s mind stirred, recognizing who the young man in green was – the tenth-ranked Yu Ting?

These two, both Eight Star Veins, and yet they knew each other? How could they evade the intelligence inquiry of Jue Xing Ancient City?

In an instant, many thoughts flashed through Li Yuan’s mind, and he conjectured a possibility.

Could it be that they are not of this world?

…

In the void above the Ancestral Realm.

“Xu Yuan has actually encountered both Yu Ting and Dao Ying?” Many Heavenly Gods were following this battle closely.

“It looks like Xu Yuan is preparing to fight one against two.”

“That Yu Ting is among the top tier, very strong, and that Dao Ying is also formidable, a leading figure in the second tier… With the two of them teaming up, can Xu Yuan hold them off?” spoke Heavenly God Si Kun.

“From previous observations, Xu Yuan’s strengths lie in Domain and speed while being slightly weaker in head-on confrontations,” stated Heavenly God Qing Hong with a furrowed brow, “He should have no problem surviving, but I fear winning won’t be easy.”

“This Yu Ting and Dao Ying obviously know each other; they shouldn’t be from our world,” claimed Heavenly God Long Chuan.

“My friends, let’s just watch,” Heavenly God Jiang Yuan said with a smile.

He alone knew Li Yuan’s true strength.

…

Within the Ancestral Realm.

“Xu Yuan.”

“So it’s you. According to the information I have obtained, you have only cultivated for forty years? Truly a prodigy,” the young man in green, Yu Ting, revealed a smile, which appeared quite brilliant on his handsome face, “It’s just a pity that you heard my brother’s words. He wants to break into the top ten.”

“So… Die!”

Yu Ting suddenly transformed into a dazzling purple divine light, directly lunging towards Li Yuan.
