High-Level Martial Era - Chapter 1273 - 588: Success
Chapter 1273: Chapter 588: Success
The starry sky is vast. Phenomena such as stellar explosions, planetary fragments, space tides, and battles between powerful beings cause violent fluctuations. To many True Gods and even Heavenly Gods, these fluctuations, after being transmitted over great distances, gradually dissipate.
However, in truth, many fluctuations and messages can persist in the starry sky for millions of years.
Yet, the longer the time passed, the harder it becomes to analyze the truth from countless chaotic messages.
Typically, ordinary Heavenly Gods cannot achieve this.
But Li Yuan, having cultivated the “Eye of Heavenly Mysterious,” has now reached a preliminary level of peering and analytical ability.
As time passed, approximately an hour later.
“War.”
“Seeking assistance…”
“Treasure… Ice Abyss eruption… battles at the Heavenly God level.” Li Yuan muttered, gradually analyzing information not mentioned in the many intelligence reports.
Combining with the known information, Li Yuan gained a deeper understanding of the entire Ice Water Creek.
“For the Wandao Divine Court, the entire Ice Water Creek, the Ice Abyss is the most important. Over long ages, a vast amount of exotic treasures continuously flew out from the Ice Abyss, so a batch of Heavenly Gods has been permanently stationed here, leading a large number of True Gods to garrison this place,” Li Yuan thought, “but the Ice Abyss is also the most dangerous. It seems to nurture some terrifying existence deep within, or perhaps a certain Star Beast group?”
According to the void messages Li Yuan captured, in the past several thousand years, the Ice Water Creek erupted in at least ten battles at the Heavenly God level.
“Why not directly penetrate the depths of the Ice Abyss and completely suppress it?” Li Yuan felt puzzled.
Logically, with the power of the Wandao Divine Court, sweeping through a perilous spot inside the Divine Realm shouldn’t be very difficult.
“Treasures emerge.”
“They might fly from the Ice Abyss to various regions of the Ice Water Creek… Therefore, the Wandao Divine Court stations Divine beings here, both to be vigilant of whatever exists deep within the Ice Abyss and to search for treasures across the area,” Li Yuan pondered, “The number of Heavenly Gods stationed here should be around 10 to 20.”
Each Heavenly God guards an ice palace, responsible for an area, manipulating the detection array, and managing a large number of True Gods.
The True Gods patrol the various places.
“Over the long ages, each Heavenly God’s palace is shrouded by a lot of formations, and the Heavenly Gods hidden inside experience a significant power surge.” Li Yuan slightly frowned, “Even for me, it’s challenging to quietly and silently kill them.”
For instance, an ordinary Heavenly God at the third rank, with the aid of Great Stone Star’s might, even if Mo Lian Divine Monarch wants to take them down, it would require a lot of effort… so much time that it would be enough for the ordinary Heavenly God to send messages to the Chaos Divine Court.
Perhaps Mo Lian Divine Monarch could manage to kill them before Chaos Divine Court arrives to rescue… but at minimum, it would expose their presence, causing the Chaos Divine Court to bear resentment.
Therefore, Divine Monarchs do not lightly slaughter ordinary Heavenly Gods… not because they can’t, but due to fear of the top-level forces backing ordinary Heavenly Gods.
Now, Li Yuan is in the same predicament.
“The best would be to silently kill the ’Green Demon Heavenly God,’” Li Yuan thought, “And then quietly slip away, making it so that even the Wandao Divine Court won’t know who the culprit is.”
Once exposed.
If the Wandao Divine Court becomes outraged, even if the Divine Kings don’t act, they can still dispatch a large number of Heavenly Gods and even Divine Monarchs, from across all the Star Domains under the Wandao Divine Court’s command, to surround and block Li Yuan… making his escape extremely difficult.
This is also why Li Yuan is reluctant to engage in Causality Inquiry… lines of causality connect each other, and when one side peeks, the other side might also sense it.
Even though the Green Demon Heavenly God is far inferior to Li Yuan in strength, being a Heavenly God, they might sense something, drastically raising their alertness.
“I also don’t know.”
“Among the Heavenly Gods guarding the Ice Water Creek, is there a Divine Monarch?” Li Yuan continually thought.
Even with the Chaos Divine Court’s intelligence department’s capabilities, finding out that ’Green Demon Heavenly God’ is in Ice Water Creek, cost them a huge price, only because Li Yuan’s status is high enough for them to specially do so.
But to fully understand the Wandao Divine Court’s personnel deployment in Ice Water Creek?
As hard as ascending to the heaven!
…
After considering all possibilities, Li Yuan stored away the Xuan Yang Heavenly God, concealed his own aura, and flew towards the depths of the Ice Water Creek… flying and void shifting would cause space to ripple.
However, the former causes small ripples, while the latter causes large ripples.
Someone like Li Yuan with his level of strength, even maintaining a speed of tens of thousands of kilometers per second, would cause very small spatial ripples.
“Detection array.”
“Evade.” Li Yuan was very cautious, already vaguely sensing the presence of several detection arrays.
He evaded them one by one.
As time elapsed, Li Yuan crossed several icy rivers and passed by many towering ice mountains over ten million kilometers high… if Xuan Yang Heavenly God were present, they might have been detected already.
After flying for several days, Li Yuan slowly came to a stop, as the slight vibration due to his flight gradually dissipated.
He looked down at the starry sky.
“That should be Ice Mountain No. 341,” Li Yuan gazed at the distant starry sky and an ice mountain.
With Li Yuan’s current eyesight, even tens of billions of kilometers apart, he could see it clearly.
“A Heavenly God is guarding there, its presence unclear,” Li Yuan faintly sensed, “In-depth intervention would surely lead to a great battle, so I can only find a way to lure them out.”
Only two hours later.
In an inconspicuous ice mountain, there was an ordinary palace.
“Master,” a True God, about a hundred meters tall and covered in fur like a giant white bear, reverently said.
His eyes were full of respect and a trace of bewilderment.
“Tell me everything you know about the Ice Water Creek,” Li Yuan, engulfed in a black robe, said in a low voice.
With Li Yuan’s current strength, infiltrating a Heavenly God’s stronghold is difficult, but slipping into these True God’s bases and quietly confusing these True Gods is an easy task.
“Yes, the Ice Water Creek…” Like a big white bear, the True God quickly relayed the information he knew to Li Yuan.
At the moment, under Li Yuan’s illusionary realm, his consciousness saw Li Yuan as his absolutely loyal master.
He spoke without reservation.
Soon after.
“Now, send a message to the guarding Heavenly God,” Li Yuan softly instructed, “saying you suspectedly discovered traces of a treasure… ask him to come over.”
“Yes.” The White Bear True God respectfully agreed.
…
Deep within Ice Mountain No. 341, inside a magnificent palace, the depths of the hall showcased a lavish scene.
A large number of beautiful attendants danced within, each one could be described as enchanting, some seemed barely dressed yet more enticing, some were warm and bold, and some were fully covered but revealed their exquisite figures.
One word! Temptation!
Seemingly clothed yet bare, compared to being fully exposed, it was even more tantalizing.
“Hehe.” The Green Demon Heavenly God, robed in black, was utterly at ease, swirling wine in his glass, watching a group of enchantresses below.
“A toast to the Heavenly God.”
“Congratulations to the Heavenly God,” a group of True God powerhouse flattered, raising their wine, a large number of True Gods stationed here rotated… during breaks, these True Gods gathered in the ice palace.
Today, the Green Demon Heavenly God hosted a banquet for them.
“Hmm, all of you work hard, if another treasured relic is discovered, I have more rewards.” Qing Mo Heavenly God said with a smile.
His good mood was also because he recently found an Ice Abyss Treasure, presented it to his assigned Divine Monarch, and was rewarded with many treasures.
There was a hint of malevolence in his eyes: looking at these alluring figures: “Come here.”
These beautiful women all trembled in their hearts, but their faces piled up with smiles as they came to serve beside Qing Mo Heavenly God.
“My lord, are you comfortable?” Two women knelt down, opening their small cherry mouths…
Another woman used the peaks of her chest to massage Qing Mo Heavenly God’s arms and shoulders…
This scene made many True Gods below secretly sigh.
These dancers, at the very least, were in the Void God Realm and even a few were at the True God level… now they were extremely humble.
“The strong should be like this.” Qing Mo Heavenly God felt very comfortable: “Coming to this Ice Water Creek was the right choice.”
“Though it seems the authority is smaller here, there’s not much danger.”
“Unlike staying in the Mohe Star Domain, always worried.” Qing Mo Heavenly God thought to himself: “My Law Comprehension is still progressing, within tens of thousands more years, I have hope to reach Heavenly God Third Rank.”
“By then, my status will be higher.”
As an Eight Star Veins Heavenly God, his power easily reached Heavenly God Second Rank.
But going from Second Rank to Third Rank is much harder.
However, Qing Mo Heavenly God was exceptionally young among Heavenly Gods, still full of confidence.
“As for Heavenly God Fourth Rank? It might be very difficult in this lifetime.” Qing Mo Heavenly God muttered to himself.
To achieve Heavenly God Fourth Rank strength, he must master supreme moves of a Heavenly God, which is exceedingly difficult.
“Hmph!”
“Let it be.”
“With my talent, becoming a Heavenly God is already lucky, ought I to dream of ascending to Divine King?” Qing Mo Heavenly God shook his head: “If I don’t become a Divine King, what difference does it make to reach Heavenly God Third or Fourth Rank? After all, we all perish after three hundred thousand years.”
Many Heavenly Gods yearn for the path to Divine King, fighting to the death.
Yet there are also many Heavenly Gods, who after striving, ’recognize reality’ and choose to lay back and enjoy life.
“Decades have passed.”
“The Mohe Star Domain hasn’t seen much turmoil, Li Yuan didn’t even start a war.” Qing Mo Heavenly God muttered again to himself: “If I had known, I would have left later, losing less.”
Originally, he was worried about being involved, so he escaped at the first opportunity.
But upon calming down, Qing Mo Heavenly God felt that Li Yuan was unlikely to target him.
They seemed to have no animosity.
“Forget it.”
“Since I’m gone, thinking more is useless, better to enjoy well.” Qing Mo Heavenly God tilted his head back to drink fine wine.
After swallowing, he opened his mouth again.
The allure instantly understood his intention, and with laughter, offered her white bosom to his mouth.
Suddenly.
“Hmm?” In Qing Mo Heavenly God’s mind, a thought arose, and his eyes flashed with joy: “Another Ice Abyss Treasure?”
“Could it be, truly my Qing Mo’s lucky day?”
Without hesitation.
Whoosh~
With a thought, Qing Mo Heavenly God employed Void Shifting, reaching the area where the target True God was located.
…
On a desolate ice mountain.
Crash~ Qing Mo Heavenly God appeared out of thin air, immediately spotting the White Bear True God standing at the mountain’s base.
“White Fur True God, you sent me a message, where is the treasure you detected?” Qing Mo Heavenly God’s voice was sonorous, resonating through space, echoing across the ice mountain.
The next moment.
“Booming~” The once calm surrounding void suddenly shook violently, as if plunging into an abyss, forming its own world.
“Boom!”
A gigantic hand, struck down mercilessly.
“Oh no! It’s a trap!” Qing Mo Heavenly God’s face changed dramatically, he felt a destructive aura from the giant hand, filling him with endless fear, pleading repeatedly through transmission: “My lord, spare me! Spare me!”
Almost simultaneously.
“Divine Monarch, enemy attack! Enemy attack!” Qing Mo Heavenly God wanted to send a message for help.
Wandao Divine Court indeed had a Divine Monarch stationed at Ice Water Abyss.
But before he could complete the transmission… buzz, an invisible soul wave invaded, trapping Qing Mo Heavenly God in an illusionary realm, consciousness sinking.
In a nutshell… Qing Mo Heavenly God thought he was sending a message for help, whereas he was transmitting within an illusionary realm.
“Boom!”
The giant hand descended with a thunderous crash, striking heavily on Qing Mo Heavenly God’s Divine Body.
The change was too great, combined with being hit by a soul technique and remaining unconscious.
Qing Mo Heavenly God hadn’t the time to activate any Star Technique, even the Divine Artifact Battle Armor wasn’t triggered… under this formidable force, his Divine Body exploded instantly, torn apart, exposing the core Divine Rank directly.
His Divine Rank was covered with countless cracks, on the verge of collapsing.
“Sealing.”
Li Yuan grasped Qing Mo Heavenly God’s Divine Rank, his palm like a vast world restraining it, with countless Law Dao Patterns intertwining, entirely sealing the Divine Rank.
This left Qing Mo Heavenly God completely incapable of resisting.
With Li Yuan’s current strength, deploying multiple Star Techniques, even without using the Silver Moon Divine Spear, the material attack reached Heavenly God Fourth Rank, making it quite normal to capture a Heavenly God Second Rank under soul invasion with a single move.
“Success!” Li Yuan’s eyes shone brightly.
The reason for not killing immediately was Li Yuan’s concern… that Qing Mo Heavenly God might have left behind treasures like a Soul Lamp.
If he died, Wandao Divine Court would probably know at once.
“Go!”
Li Yuan waved his hand, storing the true god resembling a white bear into the Cave Heaven Treasure.
Taking a step, merging into the void, he departed rapidly.
