Chapter 400 Wu Yuan Falls (Second Update, Please Vote for Monthly Tickets)
"The first to manifest was the mystery of space, then the mystery of time, and now it's even a combination of time and space in battle." Pu Guang Immortal muttered to himself, "Truly an incredible monster."
"His sword technique's power is also very peculiar. Clearly, he's still lacking in reaching the level of Heavenly Immortals, yet he can sweep through my formations." Pu Guang Immortal shook his head slightly. "Is this the power of time and space?"
His formations, theoretically, could trap a Heavenly Immortal for a short while.
This was enough to illustrate the peculiarity of Wu Yuan's sword technique.
"By rights, such a peerless monster shouldn't be offended."
"But, since I've offended him, what can he do to me? Can he kill me?" A trace of disdain flashed in Pu Guang Immortal's eyes.
If there hadn't been previous grievances, letting go of a low-grade immortal weapon wouldn't have been a big deal.
But before this.
Pu Guang Immortal was already holding a lot of anger.
"Clearly, I paid a big price, asking him to help me complete the next task as the Road Master. He didn't want to, which is fine, but he deliberately humiliated me with a price tag of ten million divine crystals." Pu Guang Immortal snorted.
And then.
Just now, when he was striving for the treasure, he had suppressed the three Heavenly Immortals with all his might. He was about to get the treasure, but he was interrupted by Wu Yuan.
Would he retreat again?
On the path of cultivation, one should respect the strong and not easily offend monstrous geniuses.
But it didn't mean one should bow down blindly like a dog!
"In the Time-Space Island, he definitely can't kill my true self."
Pu Guang Immortal wasn't afraid at all. "He's from the Taiyuan Divine Court lineage, but I'm the core of the Immortal Court, and we come from different great realms. What can he do to me?"
"He already dislikes me. Otherwise, why humiliate me before? Today's enmity will only make him dislike me more." Pu Guang Immortal also didn't want to fight to the death with those three Heavenly Immortals.
He chose to leave quickly.
Not to mention Wu Yuan's displayed talent, just having a certain hope of becoming a monarch, the immortal path was long, and who knew the final outcome.
Even if he truly became a monarch, so what?
In the future, when he returned to the Immortal Court to undergo tribulation, even if he were a monstrous Time Monarch, he wouldn't dare to kill his true self at the headquarters of the Immortal Court.
...
"This immortal weapon should be worth two thousand divine crystals, not bad." Wu Yuan flew through the cracks in the ice layer, feeling quite pleased.
Is two thousand divine crystals little?
It's not much to say it's little, but it's also not much to say it's a lot when it comes to refining one's own flying sword, it's just a drop in the bucket.
But it's also quite a lot.
Chapter 400 Wu Yuan Falls (Second Update, Please Vote for Monthly Tickets)
Ordinary Heavenly Immortals, if they don't venture recklessly and survive for millions or even tens of millions of years, most of them may not even accumulate a million divine crystals.
Like Pu Guang Immortal, who can produce hundreds of thousands of divine crystals in one go just to complete a Road Master-level task, it's because he is a peerless genius, ranking at the top in the entire Time-Space Island, and the Immortal Court has bestowed many treasures upon him.
It's not because Pu Guang Immortal himself is particularly adept at seizing wealth.
A low-grade immortal weapon alone is enough to drive ordinary immortals crazy.
Even causing Heavenly Immortals to fight each other.
Because their wealth is accumulated slowly through countless cycles of life and death struggles over long ages.
The chance to obtain hundreds of thousands or even millions of divine crystals in one go? Most Heavenly Immortals can't even dream of it.
Sometimes.
Heavenly Immortals, driven by anger, would fight fiercely for treasures worth only a hundred divine crystals.
So what if they fall? Only their avatars die.
Like this time, he offended Nie Zhen and became enemies with Pu Guang Immortal.
Wu Yuan was equally indifferent.
"Cultivators fight each other in the long years of cultivation, and it's inevitable that they will accumulate a lot of grudges." Wu Yuan shook his head slightly. "Afraid of making enemies? Not willing to compete for treasures when encountering them? Just keep avoiding?"
"If you're so timid, why bother cultivating?"
In fact, Pu Guang Immortal's reaction was within Wu Yuan's expectations.
If the other party could still swallow this anger, that would be strange.
...
Several hours later, in a corner of the core area of the iceberg, Wu Yuan suddenly stopped, looking at the crack in the ice layer millions of miles away.
There, there was a space vortex with a diameter of about ten thousand miles.
"I finally found a space vortex. Hopefully, it can teleport me to the edge of the iceberg domain." Wu Yuan muttered to himself.
Whoosh!
He rushed into the vortex with a movement, feeling a slight spatial fluctuation, and the surroundings changed.
He had arrived in another world.
Then, with an invisible force acting on him, Wu Yuan plummeted rapidly.
He quickly fell onto a vast ice field.
"Teleported to another iceberg?" Wu Yuan shook his head slightly. "I can only continue to search for space vortices."
This was a completely new iceberg.
Wu Yuan casually found a path and continued to explore towards the core area of this iceberg.
This is the Iceberg Domain.
Passing through the spatial channels at the core of the iceberg repeatedly, with enough attempts, sooner or later, one would be able to teleport out.
But there's no fixed pattern, it all depends on luck.
With good luck, one could leave in just ten days or half a month, but with bad luck, it might take a hundred years or more.
...
As time passed, Wu Yuan's true body continued to cultivate quietly, silently practicing the three major combat techniques of the "Space-Time Secret Book".
Meanwhile, his avatar wandered through the icebergs in the Iceberg Domain, attempting to break out, but failing time and time again.
Wu Yuan wasn't too anxious.
Going to the Black Demon Blood Cave, in a sense, was a way to temper himself.
And while wandering through the Iceberg Domain, Wu Yuan would also encounter other strong practitioners.
Normally, unless a treasure appeared, most encounters ended peacefully.
But occasionally, some Heavenly Immortals or even Immortals, upon encountering Wu Yuan, would try to attack him.
Wu Yuan wouldn't hesitate to fight back, sometimes winning, defeating, or even killing some enemies.
Kill or be killed, such is the way of the world.
However, unless it was for a treasure, Wu Yuan wouldn't actively attack other cultivators.
But sometimes, when encountering powerful Heavenly Immortals, Wu Yuan would also desperately flee for his life.
In a direct confrontation, any Heavenly Immortal could defeat Wu Yuan.
In short, in the large-scale battles involving immortal treasures that Heavenly Immortals participated in, Wu Yuan could only try to pick up the pieces.
But through these repeated encounters and battles, and even meeting some imprint reporters from the Time-Space Island, Wu Yuan's prowess, such as the "Moonlight Shadow" and the "Space-Time Nine Swords," gradually spread.
Naturally, this also made his reputation grow.
It's not just on the Time-Space Island, even among the nine major forces in the Dao Realm, some factions have recorded that there is a peerless genius Heavenly Immortal proficient in the laws of space and time, often wandering in the Snowlight Mist Realm.
Each battle and confrontation allowed Wu Yuan to grow faster through tempering.
Eight years had passed in the blink of an eye.
...
In the Space-Time Immortal Realm.
In a tavern of the Taiyuan Tower, with clear skies outside, the maids continuously presented various delicacies.
A figure in silver armor was leisurely eating the dishes in front of her, seemingly insatiable.
"You still love food as much as ever," Wu Yuan chuckled. He only occasionally tasted a bite or two, and had been drinking immortal wine all along.
Compared to food, he preferred fine wine.
"Among all the beauty in the world, only food cannot be abandoned," Zuo Haiyue smiled faintly, wiping her mouth.
"I've sent you messages before, but you never replied. Have you left the Time-Space Corridor this time?" Wu Yuan asked with a smile.
"Yeah."
"Just came out," Zuo Haiyue nodded. "But, based on the information I know, I'm afraid your gains aren't as great as mine... Your space-time techniques are too dominant and powerful."
"Now, in terms of direct combat, even if you're not as good as me, you're probably not far behind," Zuo Haiyue sighed. "Besides, you have many other auxiliary means."
Wu Yuan shook his head and smiled, but didn't explain further.
The martial arts left by the Space-Time Dao Lord were indeed dominant.
Like the spatial law, he had just deduced it to the true meaning of the third level, and the time law had not even condensed the true meaning yet. But when combined and displayed, the power erupted was extremely terrifying.
These pieces of news had already spread throughout the Time-Space Island during these years of adventure.
But Wu Yuan wasn't surprised. The fusion of intermediate laws with a hint of higher-level law aura was already terrifying enough.
Let alone the fusion of higher-level laws? Naturally, the power would be extraordinary.
Moreover, according to what Wu Yuan knew, the combination of time and space might have already touched upon the legendary origin of the Dao...
"You're coming out so late, your gains must be considerable," Wu Yuan smiled.
"I did gain something."
Zuo Haiyue nodded, then changed the subject, "I heard about your conflict with Nie Zhen. You don't need to worry too much. His future is destined to be a Star Lord, and he's from a different realm than you, so naturally, he won't truly fear you."
"I don't need to care about him either," Wu Yuan laughed.
Different temperaments would naturally lead to differences and conflicts even if they initially got along. But they hadn't reached the point of truly wanting each other's lives yet.
...
After meeting with Zuo Haiyue, neither side asked about the other's plans. Both were peerless geniuses with their own cultivation plans.
Time flew by.
After nine years of wandering in the Iceberg Domain, Wu Yuan's avatar had collected treasures worth tens of thousands of god crystals.
Finally, he was able to leave.
Immediately, Wu Yuan started walking in higher dimensions, speeding up as he ventured through the Snowlight Mist Realm.
He hurried towards the spacetime coordinates of the Black Demon Blood Cave.
Although the Snowlight Mist Realm was dangerous, for Wu Yuan, who mastered both time and space, neither the Outer Domain nor the Inner Domain were too difficult to traverse.
It was smooth sailing.
Until he entered the core area of the Snowlight Mist Realm and encountered a perilous area called the "Ice Spiral Valley," Wu Yuan finally suffered a major setback.
His avatar.
Had fallen!
...
Space-Time Immortal Realm, Celestial Court Pavilion.
Here, it's a place where practitioners of the Celestial Court often communicate in the immortal realm.
However, the number of Celestial Court practitioners leaving marks in the Space-Time Island is not many, usually only around a hundred thousand, not considered dominant.
In one of the halls of the Celestial Court Pavilion, six people are seated, including Senior Immortal Puguang and Goddess Ciyue.
"Haha, Daoist Miyun, this cup is to you," Senior Immortal Puguang raised his cup, quite excitedly, "This time, you really helped us vent our anger."
"We are all of the same lineage of the Celestial Court, naturally, we work together. What I did is nothing," a middle-aged man in a black robe said lightly, "That Sword of Ming looks down on you, that's looking down on my Celestial Court lineage."
"This time, with the emergence of treasures in the Ice Spiral Valley, that Sword of Ming is not sensible, so I helped him be sensible," the middle-aged man in the black robe said lightly.
"That Sword of Ming."
"Relying on dual cultivation of time and space, becoming so arrogant after only a few hundred years of cultivation. Little did he know about the strength of Daoist Miyun," the Goddess Ciyue's voice remained gentle, smiling, "Daoist Miyun, also excels in spatial laws, has comprehended the true realm of laws."
"Yes."
"Just in terms of spatial attainments, Daoist Miyun is probably not inferior to that Sword of Ming, even stronger," everyone echoed.
"But only killing his avatar, not his true self," the middle-aged man in the black robe said lightly with a smile, "Come, let's drink."
"Cheers."
...
Space-Time Island, inside Wu Yuan's palace.
"Really didn't expect."
"One avatar being killed, actually attracted so much attention. This news, indeed can't be kept hidden," Wu Yuan shook his head slightly, sitting cross-legged on a jade platform.
Just now.
He had already received messages from many friends like Zuo Haiyue, Nangong Meng, Hua Zhu, and Kou Lei, asking about the situation.
Wu Yuan replied one by one.
Only then did things calm down.
"However, this Miyun is really powerful enough, truly deserving the title of the strongest of the Celestial Court lineage in the Space-Time Island," Wu Yuan recalled the battle he experienced two hours ago.
The Ice Spiral Valley is one of the famous dangerous places in the core area of the Snowlight Mist Realm.
Many Celestial beings often venture into the core area, with no lack of those above the seventh level of Celestial (Star Lord).
Just like in the Space-Time Island, there are many top-notch practitioners leaving their marks there.
Wu Yuan's strength is not bad in the Inner Domain, but in the core area, he is at the bottom.
With the emergence of a treasure worth tens of thousands of god crystals, it attracted many powerful Celestial beings.
And Wu Yuan happened to be not far away.
In this commotion, it was Senior God Miyun who showed his power, single-handedly resisting many powerful Celestial beings, and even killing several Celestial avatars.
In the end, Wu Yuan tried to seize the treasure amidst the chaos.
But unexpectedly, Senior God Miyun displayed a special combat technique, a fusion of the Gold Law and the True Realm Law, possessing both attack and restraint abilities, directly restraining Wu Yuan's agility.
Afterward.
Just one slash!
Tearing through millions of miles of void, directly annihilating Wu Yuan's avatar.
"Miyun's understanding of the Dao surpasses me by a large margin, probably not even at the bottom among the Star Lords, and his power is also much higher than mine," Wu Yuan shook his head slightly.
The power gap is too large.
That Senior God Miyun is truly capable of unleashing the power of the Celestial Seventh Level. To be killed by him with just one slash?
Wu Yuan is not surprised.
"As one walks by the river, one is bound to get one's shoes wet," Wu Yuan, after this battle, also understands the gap between him and the top-notch practitioners of the Space-Time Island.
The top-notch practitioners of the Space-Time Island, about ten of them, all have a Dao understanding at the level of Star Lords.
"However."
"When I step into the realm of Senior Immortals, the gap in strength between him and me will be much smaller," Wu Yuan calmed down.
He began to use the "Splitting Divine Pill" to try to cultivate a new avatar as much as possible within his Purple Mansion.
With the avatar fallen, even with the assistance of the divine pill, it would take ten years.
This time, he also lost many treasures worth nearly a hundred thousand god crystals.
...
In the battle of the Ice Spiral Valley, the various factions of the Space-Time Island, who secretly watched and laughed, are no longer few, but Wu Yuan doesn't care at all.
Ten years later.
Wu Yuan's avatar cultivation is completed, and he is again sent to the Snowlight Mist Realm. This time, it only took a month to enter the core area.
But the final outcome is the same — fallen!
And the fall was silent and silent. This time, he encountered a death trap, powerless to resist, and died directly.
Another ten years.
Wu Yuan cultivated his avatar for the third time and ventured into the Snowlight Mist Realm again. This time it took three years and experienced many hardships.
But in the end, he managed to reach the coordinates of the Black Demon Blood Cave in the core area.
It's a calm void, with only the howling wind.
Occasionally, some large ice residues float from one side of the void towards a distant ice mountain.
"There's no sign of the Black Demon Blood Cave here?" Wu Yuan scanned the void, puzzled.
Suddenly.
Crack! A huge crack seemed to tear open in the void in front of him, followed by an invisible force enveloping Wu Yuan.
In an instant, he was sucked into the crack.
The crack merged, and the void returned to calm.

(End of this chapter)
Chapter 401: Breakthrough, Twelfth Layer of Yuan Shen (Two more votes are needed)
This is an endless dark void, all around is darkness, and there is no end in sight.
In the center of the void is a vast and boundless black mountain range.
The mountains undulate, with heights of at least billions of miles, and as for the length? It far exceeds Wu Yuan's rough perception range.
Vast and endless!
Wu Yuan is standing at the foot of this seemingly vast world-like black mountain range, where there is a palace.
He stands in front of the palace, not daring to move rashly.
"What a strange world, is this the Black Demon Blood Cave? The lair of the legendary Black Demon Sovereign?" Wu Yuan thought to himself.
Just now, Wu Yuan had just sensed something in the void, and was then moved away by a terrifying force, landing in this world.
The reason why Wu Yuan confirmed this:
Firstly, the space-time coordinates were correct.
Secondly, he had previously seen the Black Demon Sovereign sitting on a black mountain range while accepting the "Black Demon Blood Sacrifice," and the mountain range in front of him was extremely similar.
Suddenly.
Buzz~ A figure in a black robe condenses not far in front of Wu Yuan.
He stands there, with a vague and domineering aura.
Although the figure appears slightly illusory, standing there makes Wu Yuan instinctively tremble.
"Elder." Wu Yuan bows respectfully.
"No need to call me elder, just call me Great Demon." The figure in the black robe is indifferent, his voice cold. "I am the spirit of the artifacts created by the Sovereign, more accurately, the spirit of the Black Demon Blood Cave... responsible for verifying countless cultivators who come here."
"Only those who pass can obtain the treasures left by the Sovereign."
Wu Yuan listens quietly.
"The Sovereign has left many space-time coordinates, all of which can enter the Black Demon Cave. However, among the cultivators who entered from the space-time coordinates ranked second in terms of danger, you are the only Earth Immortal so far." The figure in the black robe glances at Wu Yuan.
Wu Yuan is speechless.
Indeed, there are very few Earth Immortals in the inner domain of the Snowlight Mist Realm, and the core area is even more dangerous.
Forget about Earth Immortals, even after venturing for dozens of years and experiencing hundreds of battles, encounters with Senior Immortals are rare.
In fact, more than ninety percent of those who venture into the core area are Senior Immortals from the nine major forces of the Dao Realm.
"I can sense a trace of the aura of the Black Demon Pillar on you. You can find your way here, indicating that you also meet the basic requirements of the Black Demon Pillar."
"With your strength as an Earth Immortal, and your young age, your talent is probably extremely high."
The figure in the black robe looks down at Wu Yuan, his face showing no emotion. "In theory, you are eligible to undergo the Sovereign's test."
Wu Yuan's heart moves, in theory?
What if it's not in theory?
"But!"
"Why did you come as an avatar? And why didn't you even bring the Black Demon Pillar?" The figure in the black robe shakes his head coldly.
Wu Yuan is puzzled.
Is it necessary to bring the Black Demon Pillar? There was no mention of that in the information left by the Black Demon Sovereign.
"The Sovereign didn't say it, so you can't think for yourself?" The figure in the black robe sneers, as if seeing through Wu Yuan's thoughts. "Moreover, can the true treasures left by the Sovereign be obtained with just an avatar?"
"Remember."
"Your main body must bring the Black Demon Pillar to be eligible to enter the interior of the Black Demon Blood Cave..." The figure in the black robe looks down at Wu Yuan. "So, your avatar is not qualified!"
Not qualified?
Wu Yuan is stunned, not qualified, why did you move me here if I'm not qualified?
"No qualification, intruding into the Black Demon Blood Cave, is a capital crime!" The figure in the black robe's eyes are cold, suddenly pointing towards Wu Yuan from a distance.
Capital crime?
Wu Yuan is suddenly shocked, just about to speak: "Elde..."
Swish!
A terrifying stream of light seemed to appear out of nowhere.
Instantly emanating from the fingertips of the figure in black robes, it completely pierced through Wu Yuan's avatar.
Even though Wu Yuan practices both time and space, he couldn't react even the slightest against such a terrifying attack.
In an instant.
Wu Yuan's avatar completely dispersed, turning into nothingness.
"Earth Immortal?"
"An exceptional talent?"
"Hmph! Coming here with just an avatar, seeking luck while fearing death, and still wanting to venture into the Black Demon Blood Cave?" A hint of resentment flashed in the eyes of the figure in black robes. "The treasures left by the master may rot rather than be casually passed down."
He doesn't care whether one is a genius or not.
As long as they don't meet the requirements set by the Black Demon Sovereign before his death, he will kill them all.
...
In the Time and Space Island,
Inside the Palace of the Qi Refining Avatar.
"Qualified in theory, but not in practice? My avatar was killed?" Wu Yuan opens his eyes, furrowing his brows slightly.
If he wasn't qualified, why move my avatar into the Black Demon Blood Cave?
They could have just expelled him.
But the result was direct annihilation.
"It's no wonder he caused so many disasters in the Dao Realm, to the point where even the Dao Lords had to personally intervene to kill him. His actions are indeed domineering." Wu Yuan's eyebrows twitched.
He had seen many reports about the Black Demon Sovereign.
He knew the opponent's style.
"Demanding my main body to carry the Black Demon Pillar?" Wu Yuan thought to himself, "Is it true or false?"
"If the avatar perishes, it perishes, but the main body?" Wu Yuan furrowed his brows slightly.
For ordinary Earth Immortals and Senior Immortals, the loss of an avatar is a big deal. After all, their lifespans are limited, and conventional refining would take tens of thousands of years. Immortal life pills are extremely expensive, with pills like the Splitting Divine Life Pill valued at tens of thousands of divine crystals.
The Cataclysm Divine Life Pill is even worth a hundred thousand divine crystals.
As for Divine Life Pills at the Celestial Immortal level? They are valued at a million divine crystals, so most Celestial Immortals are unwilling to buy them.
Celestial Immortals would rather spend ten thousand years slowly nurturing them.
For Wu Yuan, even if his avatar perishes in each adventure, he can still afford this cost.
Only the main body matters!
If the main body dies, it means the end of the Qi Refining lineage.
Therefore, whether the main body should carry the Black Demon Pillar is a question worth considering, as the level of danger is extremely high.
Just as he was contemplating.
"Hmm?" Wu Yuan suddenly noticed, looking ahead involuntarily.
"Master."
Chapter 401 Breakthrough, Twelfth Layer of Divine Soul (Second Update Asking for Monthly Votes)
Xing Yue had flown over in haste and said, "Just now, a command was issued from the Time and Space Island, assigning you, Master, a Dao Lord-level task."
As she spoke, Xing Yue waved her hand directly, and a huge screen appeared, displaying a large amount of text.
Dao Lord-level Task: Exploration
Exploration: The true body enters the Snow Light Mist Realm, reaches the core area, enters the Black Demon Blood Cave, and returns alive.
Reward: One thousand Time-Space Points.
Task Background: The Black Demon Blood Cave was established by a very powerful sovereign, Black Demon, in the early years of the Dao Realm...
Note: Completion is required within this cycle of space-time tasks, with 792 years remaining.
"Assigned to me?" Wu Yuan stared at the screen in astonishment.
It's rare for the Time and Space Island to assign tasks without the consent of imprint journalists.
As far as Wu Yuan knew, many imprint journalists had spent tens of thousands of years on the Time and Space Island, performing hundreds of tasks, but not all of them had encountered a space-time task.
And yet.
Wu Yuan, in his first task cycle (a thousand years), encountered an assigned task in less than three hundred years?
And it's at the Dao Lord level.
"As I expected, the Time and Space Island has been secretly monitoring me?" Wu Yuan thought, "Or rather, nothing that happens in the Dao Realm can escape the Time and Space Island's notice."
For a Dao Lord who controls time and space.
Having these means was within Wu Yuan's expectations.
"According to what the deity said in the last Space-Time Corridor, many opportunities in the Dao Realm were left by the Dao Lord. The fact that the Black Demon Blood Cave hasn't been destroyed is also allowed by the Dao Lord..." Wu Yuan pondered, "Now, with the space-time task arranged like this, at least there shouldn't be any safety issues."
Space-time tasks cannot assign tasks that are certain death.
There's always a glimmer of hope.
"However, should my main body go to the core area of the Snow Light Mist Realm?" Wu Yuan shook his head slightly, feeling it was not quite right.
Previously, there had been several consecutive deaths of his avatars.
Even though he had cultivated the first part of the Originating Divine Sacrifice, his main body could only erupt with the power of a Triple-Heaven Immortal when carrying the Black Demon Pillar.
But Wu Yuan's strength in direct combat as a Qi Refining avatar was only at the level of approaching a Double-Heaven Immortal.
After all, the combat techniques Wu Yuan controlled, such as the Time-Space Nine Swords and Moonlight Shadow, were only comparable to those of a Fifth or Sixth-Heaven Immortal, not even reaching the level of a Star Lord (Seventh-Heaven Immortal).
Every three levels in the Nine Heavens, there's a qualitative change.
"Still nearly eight hundred years."
"In such a long time, it's enough for me to step into the Immortal Realm." Wu Yuan had already made up his mind, "It's better to wait until I reach the Immortal Realm before letting my main body carry the Black Demon Pillar and enter the Black Demon Blood Cave."
After reaching the Immortal Realm.
Every aspect of his foundation would be stronger, and even if his understanding of the Dao no longer improved, Wu Yuan believed his strength would increase significantly.
Moreover, until now, Wu Yuan had only cultivated for over six hundred years.
In another few hundred years?
No one could predict how far Wu Yuan's strength would increase.
"If my main body goes on this adventure, it's indeed dangerous, but many great opportunities require my main body to take risks in order to have a chance to obtain them."
"Going on this adventure is not just to complete the space-time task, but also for the treasure of the Black Demon Sovereign," Wu Yuan's eyes gleamed. "If I can obtain the treasure of a sovereign, it will enhance my hope of becoming the strongest genius and eventually achieving the status of a sovereign."
Yes!
Venturing out as my main body is indeed dangerous, but many great opportunities require me to take the risk in order to have a chance to obtain them.
The path of cultivation is by no means easy.
"Now."
"I'll first cultivate another avatar," Wu Yuan contemplated while refining his Qi.
At the same time, he exerted a bit of mental effort to cultivate the avatar, using Immortal Pills and his Purple Mansion, starting the process of nurturing the avatar once again.
Ten years later, the avatar was successfully cultivated again.
As Wu Yuan already had a Dao Lord-level task assigned, he couldn't accept any new space-time tasks.
His avatar embarked once again on the journey to explore the Snow Light Mist Realm, despite experiencing several deaths in the past.
Wu Yuan didn't consider the loss of treasures as the main loss, but the loss of Immortal Pills and his portable treasures, which amounted to over a hundred thousand divine crystals.
This is the nature of adventurous exploration; it's never smooth sailing.
For many powerful cultivators, consecutive battles resulting in the death of avatars are possible if luck is not on their side.
Meanwhile, Wu Yuan began to undergo the second "Space-Time Inheritance."
Two hundred years had passed since he last underwent the inheritance.
...As time passed, year after year.
Wu Yuan's avatar did not venture into the core area of the Snow Light Mist Realm but explored various dangerous places within the inner domain.
There were few Star Lords in the inner domain, and not many Heavenly Immortals above the Fourth Level.
With Wu Yuan's mastery of time and space, he could barely defend himself in direct combat against Heavenly Immortals.
However, he could generally ensure his own safety.
At the same time, he gradually accumulated experience through battles and encounters with powerful cultivators, which honed his swordsmanship, agility, and understanding of time and space.
In each battle, Wu Yuan's reputation grew.
Nearly forty years had passed in the blink of an eye.
Wu Yuan's age had unknowingly reached seven hundred years.
...Wu Yuan's main body continued to cultivate in seclusion on the Time and Space Island, steadily improving his overall strength.
And in the Immortal Land, within the trial ground opened by the Temple of Creation.
"The Law of Time."
"The Law of Thunder, the Law of Fire."
Wu Yuan's body-refining avatar looked up at one of the huge original source stone walls, engraved with countless Dao patterns.
The thunder beasts depicted on the stone wall were locked in combat, emitting a violent and murderous aura, oppressing the hearts of onlookers.
If the first image Wu Yuan's body-refining avatar initially comprehended showed a thunder beast lying peacefully on the ground, it evoked a sense of tranquility and relaxation.
But now.
This image displayed on the stone wall had completely shifted from one extreme to another.
The two were completely opposite.
"The first image I comprehended was based on the Law of Life, which includes a part of the higher laws of space, earth, and wood," Wu Yuan silently pondered. "It contained very little about the mysteries of time, thunder, and fire."
"But now, this image portrays the dominance of the Laws of Time, Thunder, and Fire. The combination of these three seems to contain another kind of profound fluctuation."
A kind of subtle opposition to the Law of Life, yet a mutual inclusion forming a mysterious law.
In the past, Wu Yuan didn't understand.
But after practicing in the Temple of Creation for more than three hundred years, Wu Yuan's body-refining avatar had inadvertently reached the Fifth Level of True Meaning in the path of life.
Through deliberate contemplation over time, Wu Yuan had achieved considerable proficiency in the Laws of Thunder and Fire.
But the most significant progress was in the Law of Time!
The improvement was astonishing.
Combining many factors, Wu Yuan's comprehension of these three hundred and sixty-five images of the original source had already surpassed his previous level by far.
Over the past three hundred years, Wu Yuan would enter the Creation Tower every few years and battle with the guardian of the ninth floor.
From initially failing after just a few moves to now being able to persist for over a dozen moves.
"When I fully comprehend the Laws of Time and Space, my strength will greatly increase. My swordsmanship and skill level will be close to that of a Seventh-Level Heavenly Immortal," Wu Yuan's body-refining avatar contemplated.
The two avatars now only shared a common understanding of the Dao.
Memories, combat techniques, and so on had not yet merged.
Therefore, Wu Yuan's body-refining avatar was unaware of many combat techniques in the "Space-Time Codex" and could only utilize time and space in a relatively simple manner.
If Wu Yuan's body-refining avatar knew about combat techniques like the "Sword of Space-Time" and "Moonlight Shadow," his chances of passing the ninth floor of the Creation Tower would increase significantly.
Unfortunately, the body-refining avatar did not possess this knowledge.
"It's just a step away," Wu Yuan's body-refining avatar had long realized. "My accumulation in the path of life is already very deep."
Deep down, Wu Yuan's body-refining avatar had a premonition.
If he could break through the profound combination of the Laws of Time, Thunder, and Fire, coupled with the accumulation in the path of life, he might truly comprehend the essence of the original source images.
But it was incredibly difficult.
"Less than fifty years left until the end of the four-hundred-year trial period," Wu Yuan frowned slightly. "Can I succeed?"
There was no great certainty.
The more Wu Yuan's body-refining avatar comprehended, the more he felt the difficulty of the original Tao, and the more he understood the difficulty of the ninth floor of the Creation Tower.
"Even if I fail, I have no regrets giving it my all," Wu Yuan's heart remained as steadfast as a glacier.
Even though failure was highly probable, even if he reached the ultimate despair, Wu Yuan would not choose to give up. He would only strive with all his might.
Suddenly.
"Hmm?" A hint of shock flashed in Wu Yuan's body-refining avatar's eyes.
Because, just in the blink of an eye, he faintly sensed the presence of his Qi-refining avatar.
"The primordial spirit of the Qi-refining avatar."
"It's rapidly growing, seemingly about to break through the barrier of the Immortal Land. Has it broken through some kind of bottleneck?" Wu Yuan's body-refining avatar was slightly startled.
He was well aware.
The primordial spirit of the Qi-refining avatar was an extreme primordial spirit, extraordinary.
... Wu Yuan's body-refining avatar's perception was not wrong.
After experiencing hundreds of years of contemplation on the Black Tower in the "Primordial Spirit" stage, the spirit of the Qi-refining avatar had already reached the limit of the Primordial Spirit realm.
Now, it had finally broken free from its shackles.
Inside the palace of Wu Yuan's spacetime island.
"The splitting realm of the divine soul! Multiple primordial spirits!" Wu Yuan's Qi-refining avatar sat cross-legged, silently sensing.
At this moment.
In the upper dantian palace within Wu Yuan's body, the primordial spirit condensed from the original source of the divine soul was undergoing an extremely intense transformation.
Strands of radiance blossomed.
The huge body of the primordial spirit was gradually tearing apart, forming one after another shadow of primordial spirit.
Each additional shadow of the primordial spirit caused Wu Yuan to feel a painful sensation of tearing his soul apart.
This kind of pain was difficult for ordinary heavenly immortals to endure, and would make their hearts tremble, but Wu Yuan endured it with gritted teeth.
"The first split."
"The second split." Wu Yuan directly performed the secret technique of splitting the divine soul, cutting out one after another primordial spirit origin from the original source of the divine soul.
These primordial spirit origins, even after being completely cut off, were still a part of Wu Yuan's divine soul, but they faintly stood independently.
"The third split."
...
"The sixth split."
...
"The eighth split." Continuously splitting and cutting the primordial spirit origin eight times, even Wu Yuan's consciousness felt dizzy, instinctively feeling like he wanted to fall asleep.
"Hmm?"
"It can still split?" Wu Yuan couldn't help but be surprised. For ordinary cultivators, when the divine soul crosses from the primordial spirit stage to the splitting realm, it is the Ninth-Level Primordial Spirit.
Like Wu Yuan, he split out eight paths, plus the original primordial spirit, making a total of nine paths.
But now.
Wu Yuan could clearly perceive that his primordial spirit origin was still vigorous, as if it could split even more.
"Continue!"
Wu Yuan gritted his teeth and continued to perform the secret technique, splitting the primordial spirit origin. In this way, he split out two more paths of primordial spirit origin.
With each additional split, Wu Yuan found it difficult to maintain himself.
This was a pain from the depths of his soul, terrifying countless times more than some so-called tortures in the mortal world!
"It can still split."
"Give it to me, split!" Wu Yuan roared lowly in his heart, and suddenly, the still formidable primordial spirit origin split out another path of primordial spirit origin.
In total, he split out eleven paths, plus the original one, making twelve paths of primordial spirit origin.
Hum!
The kind of intense pain swept through his mind, so intense that even the isolation of his senses couldn't diminish it in the slightest, causing the weakened Wu Yuan to instantly fall into a deep sleep.
During the time when Wu Yuan was unaware.
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" In the instant when the eleventh primordial spirit origin split, the twelve primordial spirit origins faintly produced a special reaction, instinctively forming a circle.
Soon, each of them began to change, forming the appearance of Wu Yuan.
These primordial spirits had just been born and were still relatively weak, so it should take a long time for them to recover to their peak.
But in the moment when the twelve primordial spirits converged into one, the hovering Black Tower suddenly burst into endless brilliance.
Enveloping the upper dantian palace.
Also shrouding Wu Yuan's twelve primordial spirits, making each primordial spirit origin feel warm and quickly grow and recover.
"Master, such a powerful primordial spirit."
"This! This!" Xingyue stood not far from the palace, dumbfounded, looking at the faint mysterious fluctuations surrounding Wu Yuan's body.
The aura was unparalleled.
At this moment, because Wu Yuan had fallen into a deep sleep and was unable to control himself, coupled with the recent breakthrough, the aura of his divine soul erupted completely unreservedly.
This shocked Xingyue.
"The old masters I served, even if they had the cultivation base of a heavenly immortal, their primordial spirits were far inferior to the master's!" Xingyue couldn't understand.
Unlike the insight into the Way, heavenly immortals could possibly have insights comparable to monarchs.
But the primordial spirit, closely related to mana cultivation, usually wouldn't exceed much.
Normally, an earthly immortal having a primordial spirit comparable to a heavenly immortal was already terrifying, let alone surpassing a heavenly immortal.
"Still ascending, strengthening."
"Approaching the level of a heavenly immortal, monstrous, bizarre." Xingyue couldn't understand it and hesitated for a moment.
She chose to report upwards.
This was her duty.
...
In the sky above the spacetime island, in an area where ordinary marks could not be seen, there stood a purple palace, which was said to be a palace, but inside, a vast world had been opened up.
The entire world was covered with layers of purple flames, the flames filled the sky, faintly causing terrifying cracks to appear in space.
As if space didn't exist.
Obviously, these flames, with their terrifying power, could affect dimensions of extremely high dimensions, causing multiple-dimensional spaces to intertwine.
In the endless purple flames, bathed a figure in a purple battle armor with closed eyes, her face extremely beautiful, emitting a holy and gentle aura.
She was the Monarch of Lan Yan.
She seemed to be in a deep sleep.
Suddenly.
"Hmm? An earthly immortal possessing a primordial spirit surpassing a heavenly immortal? And still getting stronger?" The practicing Monarch of Lan Yan received this message.
She seemed to be lost in thought, then suddenly opened her eyes, her gaze no longer as gentle as before, but rather cold.
In one glance.
She pierced through layers of space and saw what was happening in one of the palaces on the spacetime island.
"As expected."
"Is it the Extreme Primordial Spirit? No, why does it feel to me even stronger than the Extreme Primordial Spirit?" A hint of shock flashed in the eyes of the Monarch of Lan Yan.
She was a direct subordinate of the Lord of Spacetime and was highly valued.
Over the long years, the Lord of Spacetime rarely appeared in person, and it was she and a few other monarchs who took turns guarding the spacetime island.
These monarchs, most of them were also leaders of the nine major forces under the Lord of Spacetime.
So, their vision was extremely high, often not limited to the spacetime Dao realm, and they were clear about some information in the vast river of time and space.
The Extreme Primordial Spirit was already extremely rare.
Most of the monarchs in the vast river of time and space had difficulty transforming their divine souls to the level of the Extreme Primordial Spirit, let alone surpassing it.
"Is it the Sword Resonance?"
"That little guy, actually carrying such a secret?" The Monarch of Lan Yan, in a single thought, already understood many of Wu Yuan's deeds on the spacetime island over the past few hundred years.
"Mastering both time and space?"
"From the Supreme Origin Divine Court, with such combat strength, I'm afraid he could almost break through the 100th floor of the Four-Star Tower." The Monarch of Lan Yan quickly drew a conclusion.
She was shocked in her heart: "Which monarch's disciple from the Lord's lineage is this little guy after all?"
"In the history of my spacetime Dao realm, there has never been such a monstrous talent."

Chapter 402 Saint Forbidden Technique (Second update, seeking monthly votes)
When Wu Yuan came with the spacetime warship that year, one of her avatars welcomed him at the entrance of the spacetime island. Because of Wu Yuan's status as a Lord's imprint bearer, she took a few more glances.
However, at that time, she didn't pay too much attention.
She didn't deliberately collect information about Wu Yuan.
After all, during her long years of presiding over the spacetime island, she had seen many naturally born Lord's imprint bearers, most of whom performed well, but none were too extraordinary.
The so-called geniuses and monstrously talented individuals were perceived differently by different strong individuals.
For ordinary Celestials, having the potential to become a Star Lord would be considered extraordinary; for Star Lords, having a glimmer of hope to become a Sovereign would be considered monstrously talented.
As for Sovereign-level beings.
At least stepping into the ranks of the strongest geniuses with a certain hope of becoming a Sovereign would be considered monstrously talented.
The vast majority of major realms do not have such supreme beings as spacetime Lords.
So, although the spacetime Dao realm is not vast, it is quite special, producing geniuses and strong individuals that surpass those of ordinary major realms over endless ages.
Even the true strongest geniuses have been born.
Not to mention those who only meet the standards of different age groups, there are even more of them.
Obviously, judging by the current performance of Wu Yuan's Qi Refining Self, even among the ranks of the strongest geniuses, he stands out.
"Having extremely high talent in spatial laws is one thing… but temporal laws?" The Monarch of Lan Yan pondered silently.
She, as a Spatial Monarch.
In ordinary major realms, Spatial Monarchs are rare, but there is more than one Spatial Monarch within the spacetime Dao realm.
And following the spacetime Lord, the Monarch of Lan Yan has a lot of information and knows many secrets about this aspect.
Like the Extreme Realm Spirit, it is very difficult to be born in the Body Refining lineage because Body Refiners are naturally not good at soul cultivation.
And in the Qi Refining lineage, if you have a heaven-defying spirit, it will give Qi Refiners astonishing talent in spatial laws.
But it's limited to spatial talent.
"To have such high talent in temporal laws? It's truly bizarre, this cannot be explained by just having an Extreme Realm Spirit." The Monarch of Lan Yan shook her head slightly.
Under normal circumstances, one would gradually come into contact with the mysteries of time after crossing the heavenly tribulation.
Temporal laws are very mysterious and special.
Temporal Monarchs are even rarer. Like the spacetime Lord, they preach in all directions, guiding countless cultivators to comprehend the two supreme laws of space and time.
But to this day, there has never been a Temporal Monarch in the spacetime Dao realm.
"Hmm?"
"I completely cannot see through him?" The Monarch of Lan Yan attempted to pry and deduce Wu Yuan's past.
But she found that Wu Yuan's past was like a mist.
She could only vaguely deduce all of Wu Yuan's experiences on the spacetime island, and could only confirm that Wu Yuan came from the Qing Ling Major Realm.
As for anything further back? She could no longer pry.
"Even ordinary Celestials cannot withstand my prying. The difficulty of deducing his past is comparable to deducing that of a Star Lord?" The Monarch of Lan Yan became increasingly astonished.
The difficulty of deducing the past is related not only to the strength of the one being deduced but also to some fortuitous encounters.
Chapter 402 Saint Prohibition Technique (Second update, seeking monthly votes)
Even in the mundane world, if it involves the existence of a Lord, the difficulty of deducing will skyrocket.
"This Ming Sword still has other major secrets." The Monarch of Lan Yan whispered, "From the Qing Ling Major Realm? Oh, so he's from the Northern Solitude lineage."
She had understood a thing or two from some information in the spacetime sanctuary.
Wu Yuan comes from the Northern Solitude lineage, which is not a big secret, but it's limited to some small circles within the Taiyuan Divine Court.
"Northern Solitude."
"Can it produce such monstrously talented disciples?" The Monarch of Lan Yan shook her head slightly. She wasn't very familiar with the Northern Solitude Monarch; they had only seen each other from afar a few times.
After all, when the Northern Solitude Monarch rose to power, she had not yet become a Sovereign.
Suddenly.
Boom! A majestic aura suddenly descended, shrouding the entire flame world, causing a hint of astonishment to flash in the Monarch of Lan Yan's eyes.
"Lan Yan." A deep voice rang out, seeming to echo everywhere in the world.
"Space." The Monarch of Lan Yan bowed slightly.
"Ming Sword has been given special attention and is undergoing the second step of inheritance. Don't disturb him. Let him go through everything on his own, understood?" The deep voice said.
"Yes."
The Monarch of Lan Yan was slightly surprised. The second step of inheritance? This Ming Sword hasn't even been in the Dao Realm for a thousand years.
But then she understood. A talent like this, although not necessarily unparalleled in the universe, should at least catch the eye of a Lord.
Boom~ The majestic fluctuation quickly dissipated.
"A Lord? Inheritance?" The Monarch of Lan Yan's eyes flashed with a complex expression. "When will I have a chance to advance again?"
Then, she closed her eyes and once again bathed in the heavy purple flames.
...
"Following the plan, no need to interfere?" Star Moon in the palace on the spacetime island received the message and was secretly surprised. "Or is it that the master has already been noticed by the higher-ups?"
But she was ultimately just a spirit and was unaware of some secrets.
"Master." Star Moon looked towards Wu Yuan not far away.
On the jade platform.
The majestic aura emanating from Wu Yuan was still rising, already reaching the threshold level of a Celestial.
Then, this rate of increase gradually slowed down.
And Wu Yuan still didn't wake up.
As if he had slept for a long time.
For hundreds of years, this was a rare passive sleepiness that Wu Yuan had fallen into due to exhaustion, and he only slowly woke up.
"Has the Splitting Consciousness succeeded?" Wu Yuan noticed his own state, unprecedentedly good.
The soul was robust.
In the upper Dantian palace, the twelve Dao Yuan Gods all had Wu Yuan's appearance, vaguely gathering together to form the origin of the soul.
"I slept for half a month?"
"Each of the twelve Dao Yuan Gods is much stronger than the original soul before the breakthrough?" Wu Yuan was astonished.
Under normal circumstances, when a cultivator's soul reaches the stage of splitting consciousness from the Yuan God realm, it will be weak for a long time and take a while to recover.
But himself?
Not only was he not weak, but he also stabilized and strengthened rapidly.
"Is it because of the Extreme Realm Spirit, or because of the Black Tower? Or both?" Wu Yuan pondered, but couldn't figure it out for a while.
In short.
With twelve Dao Yuan Gods, he has three more than the 'Nine Dao Yuan Gods' of ordinary Celestials, and each Dao Yuan God is many times stronger.
Before the breakthrough, although Wu Yuan was at the 'peak of Yuan Gods', as an Extreme Realm Spirit, his soul was slightly stronger than that of ordinary Celestials.
Now? Wu Yuan's soul origin surged rapidly.
"I should have reached the level of Celestial now. With a single thought, my consciousness should integrate into a higher-dimensional space." Wu Yuan quickly made a judgment, both surprised and delighted.
Celestial!
Like countless peerless talents, their combat power might be comparable to the fifth or sixth level of Celestials, or even a few who rival Star Lords.
But in terms of soul strength, for Celestials to match Celestials? Almost impossible!
Yet Wu Yuan achieved it today.
"My soul is still growing?" Wu Yuan quickly discovered, with just a little attempt, that contemplating the Black Tower still caused each Dao Yuan to continue to grow.
Although the growth was slow.
But as long as he improved day by day, over time, there would still be remarkable progress.
"Sensory." Wu Yuan began to explore the methods after the breakthrough of the Dao Yuan.
Manipulating treasures became easier, he could control more powerful treasures, practice stronger soul techniques... His sensory perception range widened...
"Put aside practicing treasure techniques for now, no hurry." Wu Yuan knew in his heart.
Quickly.
Wu Yuan's consciousness penetrated from the most superficial material spatial layer to the spatial fragment layer. Countless spatial fragments collided within, causing countless spatial fluctuations.
"Such clear spatial perception."
"The origin of spatial laws." Wu Yuan faintly sensed that in the vast world, there were vast and unpredictable fluctuations.
It was what could be sensed after condensing the true meaning of space.
But in the past, the sensing was much more vague. Now, it was clear hundreds of times over.
"No wonder."
"Like Brother Changhong, it took him thousands of years to barely deduce a mid-level law to the first stage, and he was considered no less than Brother Jianghuan." Wu Yuan thought to himself. "Brother Jianghuan has understood the laws of stars."
Mid-level laws, from the first stage of the Dao to understanding one law, the difference was tens of thousands of times.
And Jianghuan only spent a hundred times more time.
Understanding one law, the difficulty increased exponentially as one progressed, and there was also the influence of 'Path Transformation'.
"Yet both were considered to be at the same level of talent." Wu Yuan pondered silently.
Why?
Because the soul of Celestials usually reached the stage of 'Splitting Consciousness', far surpassing the Yuan Gods of Earth Immortals, the speed of comprehending the mysteries of the Dao was much faster.
Cultivators, as long as they did not choose to condense a divine body, did not merge with the source of the Dao.
So, many peerless talents in history mostly reached the stage of Celestials or even Star Lords, close to the limit of their lifespan.
Like many peerless talents, once they became Immortals, they could directly become Star Lords or even Star Sovereigns, possessing almost eternal lifespan, but they would also be subject to the constraints of the Dao.
The gains and losses were hard to say.
"Hmm?" Wu Yuan sensed the fluctuations in the spatial fragment layer and suddenly felt as if his consciousness had crossed a certain boundary.
Stepping across the vast and mighty flow of spatial fragments, he arrived in another layer of heaven and earth, where there were countless threads crisscrossing.
Not knowing where they came from, nor where they led.
It was incredibly dim.
"Space Turbulence Layer." Wu Yuan suddenly realized that this was a higher-dimensional space. Normally, only Star Lords could enter.
"My understanding of the Dao is not enough to support me entering the Space Turbulence Layer, but my consciousness, comparable to Celestials, has already sensed it first."
"Space turbulence..."
Countless threads, in the darkness, were beautiful and splendid yet full of danger.
Suddenly.
"Time?" Wu Yuan perceived it, unlike the scene he saw when he followed his predecessors into the Space Turbulence Layer in the past.
Among the countless threads of space turbulence, there were faint mysterious fluctuations accompanying them, interweaving without leaving.
That was—time.
"The origin of time..." Wu Yuan's soul faintly sensed that mysterious and unpredictable fluctuation.
Formless, yet seemingly everywhere.
"How is this possible!"
Wu Yuan's eyes held a hint of disbelief: "I'm still a distance away from condensing the true meaning of time, yet I can sense the source of time?"
This was almost impossible!
But at this moment, it happened.
"Opportunity!"
"This is the true great opportunity brought by the extreme realm divine soul." Wu Yuan quickly realized this.
Compared to before the breakthrough.
Wu Yuan's clarity in sensing the laws of space and time surpassed by countless times.
All thanks to the extreme realm divine soul.
"Although the higher the comprehension level, the deeper the influence of the 'Path Transformation' will be on me, the power of the divine soul will still allow me to soar in understanding and deducing the mysteries of space and time to a terrifying level." Wu Yuan's eyes shone.
For other peerless geniuses to have such a powerful divine soul like Wu Yuan's, they must become Immortals, relying on the source of the Dao for nurturing. But once they become Immortals, they would lose in other aspects.
But Wu Yuan.
His innate talent was already superb, possessing a divine soul at the Celestial level, coupled with the conditions for comprehension of the laws of Celestials that were not completely affected by the Path Transformation.
What an extraordinary advantage it would be?
"Space Lord? Time Lord?" Such encounters gave Wu Yuan enough ambition and confidence.
Space Lords were rare.
Time Lords were extremely rare, but Wu Yuan still saw a glimmer of hope for success, with a million years ahead of him...
But to talk about surpassing Lords, Wu Yuan didn't dare to fantasize too much yet.
Because!
He knew too little about that level. According to his knowledge, in the vast river of time and space, there were many worlds, and territories occupied by divine courts alone involved at least thousands of worlds.
Lords naturally weren't in short supply.
But an existence surpassing Lords? That would be an existence that could be called 'supreme' throughout the entire river of time and space.
"Rome wasn't built in a day."
"With such strong talent in the aspect of time and space as my qi refining avatar, and with such good conditions as the Time-Space Island, I must seize it." Wu Yuan thought to himself.
On the path of Immortality, one must set lofty goals.
Now, Wu Yuan's goal was to become the strongest genius, to directly become a Lord, or even... to surpass!
...
"Aura refining avatar." After Wu Yuan's qi refining avatar had basically figured out many wonderful uses of the extreme realm divine soul, he also sensed the existence of the aura refining avatar.
In a mysterious and unpredictable place.
"I can sense it, which means to some extent, I have broken through the isolation of the immortal realm. It's just that I'm still a bit away from integrating memories with the two avatars." Wu Yuan's qi refining avatar shook his head.
Then he stopped thinking too much and continued to cultivate silently.
The efficiency of comprehension and deduction now was many times higher than before.
Only encountering some bottlenecks would slow down his progress or even trap him.
...
A year later in the blink of an eye.
A figure in white robes flew down from the teleportation array in the Time-Space Island, quickly returning to the palace.
It was Wu Yuan's law avatar, with a smile on his face: "After rushing around, I finally made it back."
Swoosh!
The law avatar entered the palace and merged directly with the main body.
"The law avatar has been exploring outside for decades, but only obtained less than a hundred thousand divine crystals worth of treasures?" Wu Yuan shook his head slightly.
In fact, this efficiency was already remarkable.
Still, Wu Yuan relied on the special nature of time and space to make his treasure hunting efficiency close to that of ordinary Star Lords.
Even so, if you counted the previous few times the law avatar fell, overall, these decades were still at a loss.
"Law avatar, grow." With a thought, Wu Yuan returned to his purple mansion's law avatar and began to practice again.
The law avatar was difficult to break through independently.
Wu Yuan let the law avatar return.
Firstly, to return the treasures obtained over the past few decades.
Secondly, because of the breakthrough in divine soul, naturally, the body of the law avatar needed to be rebuilt, which would greatly enhance the divine soul contained within the law avatar.
Time passed.
As Wu Yuan pondered the Dao, he also reconstructed the law avatar.
"The law avatar I've re-forged now has a divine soul that's no less than that of a true Immortal. Even compared to the divine soul of a Celestial-level law avatar, it's slightly stronger." Wu Yuan was quite expectant.
Because most Celestials breakthrough with second or third grade Immortal Foundations.
Without a solid foundation, their law avatars naturally wouldn't be flawless, unlike Wu Yuan's law avatar.
"A stronger divine soul will unleash a more powerful force from the law avatar." Wu Yuan began to exchange for more suitable treasures for the law avatar in the Time-Space Palace.
Three years passed.
Wu Yuan's reconstructed law avatar once again descended to the Snowlight Mist Realm through the time-space teleportation array, continuing to venture and explore.
However.
In the short term, there were no suitable opponents who could force Wu Yuan to use his full strength.
So, no one knew about this transformation of his.
...
The entire Time-Space Island remained eternal and unchanged, just like it had for billions of years.
One day.
In the Time-Space Wonderland, in a hall of the Taiyuan Tower, several figures had gathered.
"Mingjian is here."
"Mingjian." The people in the hall looked towards the newcomers with smiles and nods.
"Nangong, Dongfan, Xiangdao." Wu Yuan smiled and nodded at each of them.
Of the three people in front of him, besides Nangong Meng, the other two young-looking Dongfan and Xiangdao were also mark bearers of Lords.
They were also among the elites Wu Yuan had befriended in the Taiyuan Shrine over the hundreds of years in the Time-Space Island, with relatively good personalities and relationships.
"Please sit." Nangong Meng smiled.
Everyone sat down.
"As per the rules, let's exchange some of the intelligence we've gathered in recent years." Nangong Meng smiled, and Wu Yuan and the others were not polite either.
They each waved their hands, and virtual immortal scrolls appeared in front of them, which they could read at will.
After exchanging some of the latest intelligence, they began to chat among themselves.
They were all elites of the Taiyuan Shrine in the Time-Space Island, and sometimes they had to relax and communicate with peers to avoid burdens.
Suddenly.
"Hmm?"
Xiangdao's eyes flashed with a hint of astonishment: "Everyone, I just obtained a segment of battle footage, you all can take a look."
"Oh?"
"What footage?" Wu Yuan, Nangong Meng, and the others were suddenly curious.
As a mark bearer of Lords, Xiangdao's strength as a top god was comparable to that of a Quadruple Celestial, so whatever surprised him was likely extraordinary.
Whoosh!
Without saying much, Xiangdao waved his hand and a light curtain projection appeared, and everyone couldn't help but look over.
"Hmm, Haiyue?" Wu Yuan's pupils contracted slightly as he immediately recognized one of the combatants.
"It's Zhuo Haiyue."
"It's her." Both Nangong Meng and Dongfan recognized her as well. Zhuo Haiyue had reached the 100th floor of the Three Star Tower, so her reputation was naturally enormous.
In the projection,
it was a vast icy wilderness.
Numerous powerful individuals were either fighting or fleeing on the vast wilderness.
Among them, there was a figure in silver armor also fleeing.
It was Zhuo Haiyue.
And suddenly, three immensely powerful Celestials abandoned their opponents and joined forces to kill Zhuo Haiyue.
These three Celestials were terrifyingly powerful, being among the top elites on the entire wilderness and had reached the Celestial level.
Two of them had astonishing speed, while the other excelled in restraint.
They quickly forced Zhuo Haiyue into a dead end.
Although Zhuo Haiyue's comprehension of the Dao was astonishing and she was close to the level of a Star Lord, as a Earth Immortal, her magic power was too weak, and her direct combat strength was not as good as that of a Celestial.
"Is she going to fall?" Wu Yuan frowned slightly.
And then.
"Boom!"
Zhuo Haiyue hovered in the void, her expression cold and her killing intent soaring. Suddenly, terrifying thunderous lights appeared around her, causing her life force to skyrocket, and countless blade lights floating around her instantly recombined.
Whoosh!
Dozens of terrifying thunderous blade lights tore through hundreds of thousands of miles of void, as if they were about to tear space apart.
"Pfft!" "Pfft!"
Two of the Celestials who had reached the Celestial level were instantly blasted away, with one of them even torn in half.
"Tear!" The overwhelming thunder lights swept through again, tearing apart another Celestial who was fleeing in panic.
The two Celestials fled in panic.
However, Zhuo Haiyue's eruption was relentless. She relentlessly pursued them and managed to kill another Celestial before finally stopping.
Then, she swiftly left.
The footage ended.
And in the hall of the Time-Space Wonderland, there was silence. Wu Yuan, Dongfan, Nangong Meng, and Xiangdao were all somewhat shocked.
After a while,
"Amazing." Dongfan couldn't help but say, "With such strength, she's probably on par with a Triple Celestial."
"Are her moves more profound? It's hard to say."
"Yeah, judging from the battle footage alone, we can't see the profound level, only roughly judge the power."
"A Earth Immortal unleashing the power of a Triple Celestial? Everyone here felt it was somewhat unbelievable.
The difference in magic power between Earth Immortals and Celestials was simply immeasurable.
"Unless she has the Dao comprehension of a Star Lord." Nangong Meng shook her head, "But hasn't she only been cultivating for less than a thousand years?"
A thousand years, the Dao comprehension of a Star Lord?
This is unheard of.
"Perhaps, she used some special treasures," Wu Yuan suddenly said.
"Yeah, that's likely."
"Some treasures have incredible power."
"But it doesn't seem like it. Her techniques are very smooth, as if they come from her own magic power."
"Some treasures can affect oneself." The people exchanged their opinions, each holding different views.
But Zhuo Haiyue's battle indeed shocked everyone.
Shortly after, the people finished their exchange and went their separate ways.
...
"Really impressive."
"Triple Celestial? I'm afraid my main body would need to carry the Origin Pillar and the Lifelong Sword to unleash such power, perhaps still falling short," Wu Yuan thought to himself.
And in the battle footage,
Zhuo Haiyue appeared to be just a law body.
"I won't think about it anymore."
"In this vast world, whether man-made or due to the operation of the heavens and earth, there will always be special treasures. Just like the Dark Demon Lord having a series of treasures like the Dark Demon Pillar, perhaps other Lords and even supreme beings may possess some heavy treasures," Wu Yuan shook his head slightly.
The more you understand, the more awe-inspiring the vast river of time and space becomes.
"At present."
"What I need to do is still to condense the true meaning of time as soon as possible." The vast majority of Wu Yuan's energy in refining his Qi Avatar was devoted to comprehending the laws of time.
After sending a message to Zhuo Haiyue, offering congratulations,
Soon,
Zhuo Haiyue replied: "The situation forced me to fight."
Wu Yuan smiled and didn't communicate further with Zhuo Haiyue, continuing his own cultivation.
...
In the vast world within the purple palace in the sky above the Time-Space Island.
"What? The Sacred Forbidden Technique?"
"Kong, you said this little girl is involved with a true saint?" Lord Lanyan, having received the news as well, was equally shocked.
There were many mark bearers on the Time-Space Island.
Minor matters couldn't disturb him, but changes in Wu Yuan's divine soul and Zhuo Haiyue's eruption of celestial power as a terrestrial immortal were very special occurrences.
She would be aware of them.
"Yeah."
"The Sacred Forbidden Technique is difficult to use. Ordinary Lords can hardly know about it, let alone detect it. If it weren't for this being the Dao Realm, I wouldn't have noticed it either," the deep voice continued, "She's also from the Taiyuan Divine Court."
"However, she's different from Mingjian. This little girl isn't good at time and space, so just send her away safely."
"Don't disturb the existence behind her," the deep voice said.
"Understood," Lord Lanyan solemnly replied.
...
In Zhuo Haiyue's battle during the time-space mission, she erupted with tremendous power. And in the short time afterward, she fought successively, and her power didn't diminish.
This proved that it was her own strength, not relying on treasures.
This truly ignited the entire Time-Space Island and even many forces in the Dao Realm were aware of it.
Quickly,
Zhuo Haiyue's fame overshadowed Mingjian's growing reputation, faintly becoming recognized as the 'number one genius of the Time-Space Island.'
Regardless of what treasures she used, strength is still strength.
A terrestrial immortal is already so terrifying. Once she becomes a celestial immortal, how powerful will she become? And she hasn't even cultivated for a thousand years.
The rumors from the outside world.
Regarding Zhuo Haiyue, it seems to have no effect whatsoever, as for Wu Yuan? He doesn't care about any competition for genius reputation.
In the blink of an eye, nearly ten years have passed.
In the Inner Domain of the Snowlight Mist Realm.
This is an endless icy continent, with towering mountains standing on it.
There are no traces of any living beings.
"The Frozen Mountains." A figure in white robes flies among the icebergs.
These icebergs are not huge, far from comparing to the icebergs in the Ice Mountain Region.
The figure in white robes is none other than Wu Yuan's law body, which has been exploring the Snowlight Mist Realm for these years.
Suddenly,
Wu Yuan stopped.
Boom! A powerful energy fluctuation suddenly swept over, impacting the farther reaches of the heavens and earth.
"Treasure appearing? After searching for so long, I finally encountered a good treasure, and it seems not far from me," Wu Yuan felt delighted.
He quickly rushed towards the source of the energy fluctuation.
Just over a dozen breaths later.
"Yeah, it's him!" A hint of surprise flashed in Wu Yuan's eyes.
Because he vaguely sensed that millions of miles away, the bursts of energy fluctuations caused by the appearance of the treasure were still erupting, and there were some life breaths, including a somewhat familiar celestial immortal divine soul aura.
"Very good, it should be him."
"It really is, a stroke of luck." Wu Yuan smiled.

The Frozen Mountains, within the inner domain of the Snowlight Mist Realm, is a moderately dangerous place where not many treasures are unearthed, but occasionally some valuable ones appear.
Therefore, cultivators who venture here mainly consist of celestial immortals.
There are very few celestial immortals, and occasionally one might encounter one.
Swoosh!
"It should be him, really!" Wu Yuan, who cultivates both time and space, how keen is his perception of spatial fluctuations? After his divine soul breakthrough, his sensing ability has undergone a qualitative change.
And the person he sensed was none other than the Six Tribulations Celestial Immortal—Zhuo Hao—who he encountered during his first lord-level time and space mission!
Back then,
In order to snatch the Primordial God Pillar from Zhuo Hao, Wu Yuan took the risk of using the True Meaning of Life to assassinate him from a higher-dimensional space.
In that battle, Wu Yuan exposed the True Meaning of Life and never regretted it.
The Primordial God Pillar was worth it.
Zhuo Hao's divine soul only perished, but in Wu Yuan's view, he has always been a hidden danger. However, Wu Yuan couldn't find him.
He could only let things be.
Unexpectedly, hundreds of years passed.
He actually encountered him again in the Snowlight Mist Realm?
"A celestial immortal, under normal circumstances, takes tens of thousands of years to cultivate a law body. To quickly cultivate a law body, it would take a 100,000 God Crystal Apotheosis Dan." Thoughts fluctuated in Wu Yuan's mind. "He's only a Six Tribulations Celestial Immortal... he shouldn't have that many treasures."
"But, maybe he can possess treasures like the Primordial God Pillar, perhaps he's quite wealthy, or perhaps he has other backgrounds."
"Normally speaking, would a Six Tribulations Celestial Immortal dare to use his true self to enter the Snowlight Mist Realm?" Wu Yuan speculated. "There's a fifty percent chance it's his true self."
They've been far apart and have never fought.
It's impossible to confirm completely.
But for Wu Yuan, it's also something he can't afford to miss. If he can resolve the opponent's true self, it would eliminate a hidden danger.
"It's a pity."
"Although the danger level of the Frozen Mountains isn't high, it's similar to the Snow Demon Cave in that it suppresses spatial fluctuations and prevents entry into the Spatial Fragment Layer." Wu Yuan sighed inwardly.
This is the norm in the Snowlight Mist Realm.
In the core area, spatial fluctuations are completely suppressed, and in the inner domain, most dangerous places also suppress spatial fluctuations.
"If I could comprehend the True Meaning of Space to the seventh level (the level of a Star Lord), I could enter the spatial turbulence layer and travel freely throughout the entire Snowlight Mist Realm." Wu Yuan muttered to himself.
But unfortunately, it's extremely difficult. After leaning heavily toward the laws of time, Wu Yuan has still been stuck at the third level of spatial True Meaning and unable to break through.
Hoo!
Wu Yuan suppressed his breath, and his speed quickly soared to the speed of light.
He flew over countless icebergs hundreds of millions of miles high, heading towards the source of the energy eruption.
...
"Treasure appearing, it's very close to us!"
"Hurry."
...
"This is our chance. Such a strong fluctuation, even if it's not an immortal treasure, it's probably of the same level."
"Let's go kill it."
... Cultivators in the nearby area sensed the fluctuation and crazily rushed over.
Among them, two cultivators.
"Haozhuo, let's go, charge over there," a purple-robed god's eyes lit up. "With such a treasure, it's probably worth several thousand God Crystals."
"Yeah, let's kill over."
The black-robed immortal exuded a faint murderous intent, his aura awe-inspiring. "We're a Six Tribulations Celestial Immortal and a Five Tribulations Celestial God. As long as we don't encounter celestial immortals, we can take them down."
"Let's go kill them."
The black-robed celestial immortal is none other than Zhuo Hao.
But hundreds of years ago, fearing revenge after his battle with Wu Yuan, he changed his name and identity after leaving his old nest.
At the same time, guided by the coordinates left by the Black Demon Lord, he came to the Snowlight Mist Realm. After arriving, he found that it was extremely dangerous.
It's very dangerous for his true self to venture here.
But he had no choice.
To continue waiting and slowly refine his law body? It would take tens of thousands of years, and he couldn't afford to wait.
"I can only fight with all my might!"
"My true self is here, stronger than my law body. If I'm forced to the brink, I'll activate the Black Demon Star, even facing ordinary celestial immortals, I still have the power to fight." Zhuo Hao Immortal also has quite some confidence.
"Wealth and danger go hand in hand."
"In the Snowlight Mist Realm for a thousand years, with luck, one can gather tens of thousands of God Crystals." He thought so.
To snatch a large number of godly crystal treasures in a short time, how can one not take risks?
...
Before getting close, Wu Yuan already sensed more than a dozen life auras gathering.
And the energy fluctuations didn't diminish at all, as if a melee was underway.
Soon, Wu Yuan saw it completely.
The area where the treasure appeared was a barren land with a width of over a million miles.
The barren land was surrounded by several mountains.
There were three or four teams around the barren land, totaling nearly twenty celestial immortals and celestial gods, most of whom were celestial immortals.
However, most cultivators did not participate in the battle, but waited on the sidelines, among them those truly engaged in the fierce battle.
There were three figures.
One was a black-armored celestial god, his aura extremely violent and towering, with eight arms and holding four silver long spears. His spear technique was fierce, as if piercing through the void with every casual strike, leaving behind long-lasting spear marks in the void.
He dared to fight two against one without any fear.
And the other side in the battle was a celestial god and a celestial immortal, joining forces to fight the black-armored celestial god, faintly gaining the upper hand.
"Haven't seen them before."
"That black-armored celestial god should be a Six Tribulations Celestial God, with strength close to the first level of celestial immortality." Wu Yuan made a judgment, his gaze falling on the other side: "Five Tribulations Celestial God? Six Tribulations Celestial Immortal?"
The Six Tribulations Celestial Immortal was none other than Zhuo Hao Immortal.
At this moment, the purple-robed Five Tribulations Celestial God, holding nine war knives, fought madly, facing off against the black-armored celestial god.
Zhuo Hao Immortal stood in the distance, constantly casting powerful spells, either assisting in binding or attacking.
Two against one, they held the upper hand.
And in the center of the battlefield, within the spontaneously generated spatial vortex, was the emerging treasure, a huge crystal emitting a rich aura of heaven and earth.
"They're all at the level of Five Tribulations or Six Tribulations, it's really difficult to snatch treasures."
"In a one-on-one fight, we're not opponents."
"The treasure hasn't fully appeared yet, there's still a chance, let's wait and see." Many onlooking celestial immortals and celestial gods mostly had limited strength, generally at the level of Three Tribulations or Four Tribulations.
This is also normal.
For the vast majority of celestial immortals, reaching the level of Three Tribulations with diligent cultivation is not too difficult, but what about being stronger? It depends on talent and opportunity.
So, in ordinary dangerous situations like the Snowlight Mist Realm, celestial immortals are the main participants.
Naturally.
With their strength, they dare not interfere in clashes near the level of celestial immortality, they can kill them in a few rounds.
Unless!
These ordinary celestial immortals can accumulate to a certain extent, such as hundreds of them, and simultaneously erupt with attacks, even celestial immortals would have to retreat.
Suddenly.
Some onlooking celestial immortals and celestial gods sensed Wu Yuan's presence and couldn't help but turn their heads to look.
"Earth Immortal?"
"An Earth Immortal, dares to interfere? But I feel a bit dangerous."
"Probably not ordinary." These celestial immortals and celestial gods were first surprised, but then they didn't pay too much attention.
Earth Immortals, generally speaking, are rare to have the strength of a First or Second Tribulations Celestial Immortal, and are considered talented individuals.
Stronger? They've basically never encountered them.
But in the next moment.
Boom!
Just as Wu Yuan approached, he suddenly dashed out, heading straight for the three great celestial immortals and celestial gods who were battling.
"What?"
"What's that?" Suddenly, all the celestial immortals and celestial gods who were watching from afar and trying to figure out what was happening were shocked.
What did they see?
Instantaneous burst of speed—speed of light!
"It's the Time-Space Sword Immortal, it's him." Finally, someone recognized Wu Yuan.
In the Snowlight Mist Realm, Wu Yuan often changed his appearance and clothing.
So, although there were rumors about him and Zhuo Haiyue spreading among the major powers in the time-space realm, most people wouldn't recognize them the first time they saw them.
Except when they made their move.
Once they erupted, their strength couldn't be concealed. And looking across the entire time-space realm, how many Earth Immortals could erupt with such strength?
Not a single one!!
Among the billions of Earth Immortals in the entire time-space island, including the time-space realm, only he and Zhuo Haiyue could erupt with the strength of a Five Tribulations Celestial Immortal or higher.
At least according to public information.
So, when Wu Yuan erupted, he was immediately recognized.
"Time-Space Sword Immortal!"
"It's him."
"The monstrous existence of the Time-Space Island." The celestial immortals and celestial gods were suddenly in an uproar. Even though they were not at the core of the nine powers of the realm, they had all heard of Wu Yuan's legend over the years of adventuring in the Snowlight Mist Realm.
Zhuo Haiyue, also known as the "Thunder Saber Immortal."
Wu Yuan, also known as the "Time-Space Sword Immortal," named after their fierce combat techniques.
There's no wrong name, only wrong nickname.
... "Boom!" The sky and earth changed color.
From appearing to approaching and erupting, Wu Yuan's movements were almost seamless.
He had already killed towards the center of the wasteland.
"Swoosh!" A hazy spatial domain appeared, covering an area of tens of thousands of miles, pressing down on the three great celestial immortals and celestial gods.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Nine immortal swords appeared, surrounding Wu Yuan's body, instantly turning into layers of sword light threads that circulated endlessly, forming a powerful and unparalleled time-space sword domain.
Tens of thousands of miles? In an instant.
"Not good."
"It's the Time-Space Sword Immortal."
"He's coming." The three great celestial immortals and celestial gods who were originally in the midst of battle were a bit confused. Wu Yuan's attack came too swiftly.
Moreover!
They never expected to clash with the peerless monster known throughout the entire realm—the Time-Space Earth Immortal.
"It's him, he's the Time-Space Earth Immortal?" Especially Zhuo Hao Immortal.
He sensed Wu Yuan's aura and his face changed instantly.
This was a person he never wanted to encounter again in his life.
Moreover!
He was very sure that the person who attacked him back then was using the life essence technique, but now he was renowned for his mastery of the time-space law throughout the entire realm?
What kind of monster was this?
Deep down, Zhuo Hao Immortal had a premonition that the other party's sudden attack, the target, was likely to be himself.
In the blink of an eye.
Zhuo Hao Immortal had only one thought—escape!
Without hesitation, he retreated violently to the side where the purple-armored celestial god and the black-armored celestial god were fighting, and his speed soared to the extreme.
He wanted to use the two celestial gods to delay Wu Yuan.
"Escape?" The black-armored celestial god was stunned.
"Haozhuo? Are you running away?" The purple-robed celestial god was even more astonished. In his opinion, although Wu Yuan was fierce, he still had the power to fight.
The two celestial gods didn't have time to think.
Boom!
Wu Yuan, with his mighty sword formation, had already crossed tens of thousands of miles, charging straight towards Zhuo Hao Immortal.
But it also meant that he was heading towards the two celestial gods at the same time.
"Swoosh~" Four silver long spears danced, their spear aura spanning tens of thousands of miles of void, piercing straight towards Wu Yuan.
"Swoosh!" "Swoosh!" The purple-robed celestial god instinctively swung his war blade, intending to block Wu Yuan's path.
At this moment.
The celestial immortals and celestial gods around the ice field were all watching from afar, witnessing this scene, even Zhuo Hao Immortal, who was fleeing.
"That black-armored celestial god has the strength close to that of a Celestial Immortal, coupled with the full eruption of a Five Tribulations Celestial Immortal, which is comparable to a Six Tribulations Celestial Immortal. It should be easy to stop this Time-Space Sword Immortal for a while..." Zhuo Hao Immortal thought so.
Then, he looked incredulous.
All the celestial immortals and celestial gods watching were also stunned.
"Kill!"
Only to see Wu Yuan's cold eyes, he pointed from afar, and the sword domain instantly changed. Six immortal swords streaked across the sky, attacking, and the flow of time began to change rapidly.
Twice the speed of light! Three times the speed of light!
Four times the speed of light!
"Puff!" "Puff!" Three immortal swords slashed past, the terrifying power instantly sweeping the purple-robed celestial god, causing his body to explode, immediately falling into the sword domain, torn apart by layers of sword energy.
"Pong!"
"Clang!" "Clang!" The black-armored celestial god was even stronger, but facing three powerful immortal swords, he could only barely defend himself, being blasted backward.
Under the erosion of the terrifying sword light, his life force diminished rapidly.
It was unstoppable.
"I have the strength close to that of a Celestial Immortal. According to the information, my frontal combat strength should be comparable to that of the Time-Space Sword Immortal, yet I was almost crushed?" The black-armored celestial god was shocked.
"The strength of this Time-Space Sword Immortal has definitely reached the level of a Celestial Immortal."
"An Earth Immortal, erupting with the strength of a Celestial Immortal?" He found it hard to believe.
The information about Zhuo Haiyue's strength was temporarily only known in the Time-Space Island and had not spread among the nine powers of the realm.
The black-armored celestial god was even more unaware.
Over the past few decades, Wu Yuan had made great strides in both time and space laws, naturally increasing the power of the Time-Space Nine Swords.
Without relying on the Origin God Pillar, his Avatar could erupt with the strength of a Celestial Immortal.
This scene also shocked many celestial immortals and celestial gods who were watching.
"His strength has become even stronger?"
"Escape! We must escape." Zhuo Hao Immortal felt anxious. He frantically fled, realizing that the two celestial gods couldn't stop Wu Yuan.
"Friend, please stay." Wu Yuan's voice carried a hint of a smile, echoing through the heavens and earth.
Boom!
The speed of time around Wu Yuan changed, his speed was strangely faster, several times faster than Zhuo Hao Immortal.
Making it impossible for him to escape.
"Kill!" Wu Yuan's voice carried a smile, but his eyes were incredibly cold. Only nine immortal swords were activated, erupting instantly, sweeping past.
"Just now, three swords defeated a Six Tribulations Celestial Immortal, not to mention nine now?" Zhuo Hao Immortal's pupils contracted slightly.
The celestial gods, due to their use of Heavenly Tier Source Arts, had a burst ability that surpassed that of celestial immortals in the short term.
Zhuo Hao Immortal understood that he had no choice.
Boom!
A roughly hundred-foot-tall, pitch-black sphere appeared behind Zhuo Hao Immortal, resembling a miniature star.
The black sphere emitted an endless violent and bloody aura.
It, and Zhuo Hao Immortal, seemed to be one.
The moment the black sphere appeared, Zhuo Hao Immortal's life force began to soar, almost instantly reaching the level of a Celestial Immortal.
"This is... the Black Demon Star?" Wu Yuan's eyes flickered with light.
This was a treasure from the lineage of the Black Demon Sovereign, even more advanced than the Black Demon Pillar!
