Chapter 1295: Ten Lives Heavenly Bead

Yi Tianyun’s displayed power was practically on par with a late-stage God Monarch. In particular, his speed was even more astonishing than that of a half-step Heavenly Venerable. With the two of them joining forces, weren’t they essentially unbeatable?

That Sealing Formation was impressive, but it was far too restrictive. Yi Tianyun’s speed alone allowed him to instantly kill a large swath of enemies.

Just a moment ago, those two factions had deployed a Sealing Formation that reached half-step Heavenly Venerable strength. Yet compared to a genuine half-step Heavenly Venerable, they still fell short.

Merely in terms of agility, the gap was huge. Anyone inside the encirclement was at a disadvantage. If a half-step Heavenly Venerable flanked them from behind, they’d be wiped out.

Once the surrounding cultivators departed, Demon Lord Liuli flew over, eyeing Yi Tianyun up and down with disbelief in her beautiful eyes. Though the truth was plainly before her, it was still difficult to accept.

Yi Tianyun was clearly only at the Heaven Monarchs realm, yet he had just unleashed power equivalent to the God Monarchs level, perhaps not far off from her own, and his speed was even greater than hers.

Unless she went all out, she was honestly slower than Yi Tianyun by quite a margin; there was no comparing the two.

“Your cultivation… how is this possible? A-aren’t you a Heaven Monarch?” she asked in shock.

“Yes, I’m a Heaven Monarch. Domain Lord, can’t you sense that?” Yi Tianyun replied with a faint smile.

“The aura you’re giving off is indeed that of a Heaven Monarch… There really isn’t any shift, it’s not a God Monarch’s aura at all. But the power you just showed has already surpassed the Heaven Monarchs level, way beyond anything a Heaven Monarch can display.” Demon Lord Liuli was still astonished. It completely defied her common sense.

“Maybe it has something to do with the martial arts I cultivate,” Yi Tianyun explained with a grin.

“Then what’s your actual cultivation level?” Demon Lord Liuli pressed.

“Probably peak Heaven Monarchs. Just a little more effort, and I’ll be able to break through to the God Monarchs realm,” Yi Tianyun said.

Of course, “a little more effort” wasn’t a lie; as soon as he condensed his third planet, he could immediately advance. Even without that, he was close to a breakthrough anyway.

“Peak Heaven Monarchs already?” Demon Lord Liuli exclaimed. “But didn’t you just break into the Heaven Monarchs realm recently? How did you get to peak so fast? In practically no time at all, you’re already at the peak.”

The last time Yi Tianyun had mentioned leaving to break through, it truly hadn’t been that long. Even if several years had passed, that was barely the blink of an eye to them.

And yet in the span of only a few years, going from First Level Heaven Monarchs to peak Heaven Monarchs was enough to leave her flabbergasted. Even someone of her experience was rendered speechless by such speed.

Other cultivators might spend decades to ascend even a single minor realm. After all, a Heaven Monarch’s lifespan was huge, easily tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years.

Now, here was Yi Tianyun, taking only a few short years to reach the peak. It stunned Demon Lord Liuli, who thought she had seen it all.

“Well, I cultivated for a while and just happened to break through,” Yi Tianyun said sheepishly, scratching his head.

“You just… casually broke through? What kind of answer is that?” Demon Lord Liuli was at a loss. Other people struggled for their lives to break through, yet for him, it seemed as simple as snapping his fingers, completely unimaginable.

“Ahem, let’s not dwell on that. Domain Lord, what do you say now about me traveling with you? I’d guess I won’t be slowing you down, right?” Yi Tianyun asked with a smile.

“If that is slowing me down, then everyone would be slowing me down.” Demon Lord Liuli looked him over. “Why didn’t you say anything earlier? I thought you’d only just advanced to First Level Heaven Monarchs.”

“You never asked. If you didn’t ask, how could I volunteer that info? Was I supposed to greet you with ‘Oh, by the way, I’m already at the peak?’ Besides, you told me to focus on comprehending the Illusory Metal Power, so there wasn’t a chance to talk,” Yi Tianyun said helplessly, spreading his hands.

“That’s true. I never expected you to be so strong. Looks like the two of us can fight side by side. I’d been thinking about summoning some Elders to help, but it seems even they might be no match for you,” Demon Lord Liuli sighed. It was just too frightening.

The power he’d shown earlier sent chills through her. She had never encountered such a brutal Heaven Monarch before. Not long ago, she had regarded him as a younger generation, yet the strength he’d now displayed was comparable to her own; their standings were almost the same.

“Domain Lord, what exactly did you get your hands on? They kept chasing you non-stop.” Yi Tianyun asked. He’d just arrived and seen her under siege, but didn’t know what had happened.

“Let’s go hide over there for a bit.” Demon Lord Liuli led him to one side, then took out a small sphere with the character “八” (eight) inscribed on it. She turned it over in her hand, noting some divine inscriptions, but they were too profound for her to understand.

“So this is the treasure you obtained?” Yi Tianyun examined the sphere closely. Activating his Eye of Investigation, he saw:

Ten Lives Heavenly Bead: Divided into ten beads in total. When gathered, they form a Heavenly Venerable Spirit Treasure. Separately, each bead functions as a high-grade Heavenly Dao artifact. Its power is remarkable and can unleash extreme penetrating force. Each bead contains a different form of Illusory Metal Power.

Unexpectedly, this item turned out to be a Heavenly Venerable Spirit Treasure, though only when all ten beads were combined. When taken alone, it was merely a high-grade Heavenly Dao weapon. Even then, one still couldn’t properly utilize it, as it was already under someone else’s ownership. At best, you could use it like a brick and hurl it at someone.

“Yes, this is the treasure I picked up. I’ve no idea what it’s for,” Demon Lord Liuli said solemnly. “But it looks extremely important, maybe it’s the key to the sixth level!”

“A key to the sixth level? You couldn’t get there before?” Yi Tianyun asked in confusion.

“Correct. The entrance to the sixth level is sealed shut. Anyway, just the fifth level alone is big enough to wander in for a while, there are plenty of treasures here, if you can find them,” Demon Lord Liuli said, scanning the surroundings.

Compared to the fourth level, the fifth level was a vast forest. These trees were formed by Illusory Metal Power, but they weren’t as vicious as the bamboo on the fourth level; they didn’t launch repeated attacks. They really did just stand there like normal trees, posing no threat.

“In that case, let’s head over to the pathway leading to the sixth level and try it out. Let’s see if we can get in,” Yi Tianyun suggested after some thought. Staying here had little value; it’d be better to check the sixth level.

“Yes, that was exactly my plan. We’ll head there right now!” Demon Lord Liuli nodded and led Yi Tianyun forward at once.
