Chapter 908: Chapter 461: Void Trace! Towering Above All Rivals

Battle after battle, each a fierce struggle, and combatting one top demi-god after another, Li Yuan’s fame kept spreading throughout the Ancestral Realm.

After all, although communication via messages was not possible within the Ancestral Realm, the demi-gods constantly observed changes to the Ancestor Realm List.

Whenever powerhouses from the same faction encountered each other, they would definitely exchange intelligence, all of which made Li Yuan’s reputation grow even larger.

“Xu Yuan!”

“Xu Yuan has taken first place on the points list.”

“He has consecutively defeated top demi-god powerhouses such as Kuang Fu, Hua Zhongyun, and Ao Ming.”

In the Ancestral Realm, previously unchallenged top talents like Ning Chi, Jing Kui, Lianyun Semi-Divine, Moon Blade, and others were already aware of Li Yuan’s terrifying strength.

Almost all of them now considered Li Yuan as their ‘number one enemy’.

“Xu Yuan, years have passed, and I didn’t expect that in the battle of the Ancestral Realm, you would become the biggest threat to my obtaining the Ancestral Realm Order.” Jing Kui, walking across a vast lake, revealed a smile: “Interesting, very interesting!”

“However, even if I have to clash with you, it has to wait until the end. First, I need to find a way to seize the Ancestral Realm Order from the likes of Ning Chi and Moon Blade.”

…

“Xu Yuan? Even Kuang Fu is not your match and was directly defeated by you?”

“According to what Kuang Fu said, your Spear Technique should be quite ordinary.” A languid young man in white clothes walked across the land, sensing the changes in the Ancestral Realm Order, his eyes shining with light: “Could it really be a Nine Star Pulse?”

“This humble Jue Xing Continent, how could it produce a Nine Star Pulse in this generation?”

“Even with the assistance of Jue Xing Divine Pills, it should be extremely difficult.”

“A Nine Star Pulse is terrifying! But a Nine Star Pulse that has only cultivated for a few decades is still not a concern.”

The young man in white is Ning Chi.

He is recognized as the strongest among the nine great masters sent by the Chaos Divine Court.

Even among the tens of thousands of Golden Garment Members of the Divine Court Headquarters, his strength is at the forefront.

“First in points.”

“I’ve lost it, but I must strive to take it back.” Ning Chi transformed into a streak of light and zoomed away.

He appeared leisurely but was, in fact, very eager to seize first place.

…

“My brother has reached the top first?” Liu Bing revealed a smile.

Ever since she condensed the True Intention of Space, she had spent a lot of time comprehending True God level Techniques, reducing the number of enemies she killed and thus being overtaken in the points ranking one after another.

Now, even Moon Blade, who was previously below her in ranking, had surpassed her.

But Liu Bing didn’t care too much about it.

“Ancestral Realm Order!”

“To truly seize the Ancestral Realm Order, and even gain an advantage in the core of the Ancestral Realm, relying just on flying and Escaping Techniques is not enough.” Liu Bing thought to herself: “I must exert all my strength to combine the Law Integration of Wind and Space and comprehend a True God level secret technique.”

…

In the northern part of the Ancestral Realm, there lies an ice plain where two talented demi-gods are engaged in a fierce battle.

“Fools!”

“A bunch of fools.”

“To actually be consecutively defeated by a native demi-god. Dao Ying, Yu Ting, Hua Zhongyun, they’re all fools.” The dirty girl was annoyed in her heart.

The knife light in her hand was like moonlight, bright and beautiful, which didn’t match her dirty clothes at all.

With one strike, she sent the opposing Dong Pan Semi-Divine flying backward.

“Kid, your Law Comprehension isn’t bad.”

“It’s just a pity that your weapon and foundation are too weak. Just admit defeat already.” The dirty girl urged.

“Moon Blade? What kind of monster suddenly popped up? Her Sword Technique is so strong, completely surpassing my Hammer Technique.” Dong Pan Semi-Divine became increasingly frightened as he fought: “And her Star Technique is also terrifying. She’s also completely surpassed me in strength. Could she be an Eight Star Veins demi-god?”

“How could this battle of the Ancestral Realm produce so many mysterious talents?”

Since his Law Comprehension has broken through to Eighth Rank Perfection (True God Initial Rank), Dong Pan Semi-Divine felt full of pride. After continuous battles, his ranking rose higher and higher.

Now, he was very close to the top ten.

Unexpectedly, he encountered this mysterious powerhouse ‘Moon Blade’.

The strength she displayed was simply staggering.

In just over a dozen moves, she managed to push him, who was best at Defense, to the brink of being unable to resist.

“I refuse to believe it.” Dong Pan Semi-Divine clenched his teeth, swinging the double hammers, his momentum towering, and charged violently again.

But Dong Pan Semi-Divine’s struggle was destined to be futile.

After another mere ten moves or so, ‘Dong Pan Semi-Divine’, who had just reached the Pseudo-God Peak baseline, was forced to use the Boundary Order to escape with his life.

Dong Pan Semi-Divine did not know.

Moon Blade is recognized as the strongest among the seven ‘Thousand Stars Members’ sent by the Wandao Divine Court.

Peace returned to the ice plain.

“Seven Star Veins, and yet such high Law Comprehension?” The dirty girl muttered to herself: “This Jue Xing Continent truly deserves to be the secluded land of that great existence, making even the Starry Sky Ancient City dare not pursue it. Indeed, it has a profound foundation.”

“I have traveled through six small worlds, and this one can be regarded as the strongest one.”

“However.”

“My true opponents are still Xu Yuan, as well as Ning Chi and Liu Bing, these two fellows.” The dirty girl glanced at the Ancestor Realm List.

She was aware of her companion’s strength; Xu Yuan’s ability to fight and win against two proved his prowess.

Ning Chi? She had crossed swords with him once.

And Liu Bing?

“In the Divine Realm, I heard that the Heavenly Serpent Clan was wiped out. I didn’t expect to see a top divine beast like the Holy Blood Heavenly Serpent here.” The dirty girl’s eyes glittered: “A top divine beast, able to reach the True God Limit in just a few hundred years, must not be underestimated.”

Whoosh!

The dirty girl vanished in the blink of an eye to the edge of the world.

…

“First in the Ancestral Realm!”

“First on the Ancestral Realm List!”

“Xu Yuan Semi-Divine is a strong warrior of our Abyss Country.” On the Jue Xing Continent, countless people were paying attention to the Ancestral Realm Order.

The moment Li Yuan ascended to the top, numerous powerhouses in Abyss Country utterly erupted in excitement.

“Xu Yuan’s points are continuously rising. He started off in the forties, then moved up to the teens, and toward the later stages, his ranking kept on climbing!!”

“In the later stages, every top demi-god in the top ten is tough to deal with, but Xu Yuan still managed to climb up by defeating other warriors.”

“That’s right! Every time he defeats one, he can seize half of the opponent’s points, naturally causing his total points to skyrocket.”

“Lianyun Semi-Divine is ranked in the nineties, not bad, but still too far behind Xu Yuan Semi-Divine.”

Even though the Ancestor Realm Battle has not ended, and Li Yuan is only temporarily in first place, with the points contest merely at the ‘First Stage’.

Yet, this is an unprecedented honor for Abyss Country.

…

In Jue Xing Ancient City, countless Pseudo-Gods and True Gods are also paying attention.

“First place!”

“Among the top ten, our Jue Xing Ancient City has two, both ranked within the top five,” Chi Yang True God revealed a smile, yet also felt puzzled: “But where did the other prodigies in the top ten come from?”

“Xu Yuan, to actually climb to the top?” Piaoxia True God and Xinghuan True God were both somewhat dazed, finding it hard to believe: “How many years has Xu Yuan been a Semi-Divine?”

The two of them taught Xu Yuan for years and never anticipated Li Yuan’s strength would advance this quickly.

“Could it be that Xu Yuan really might Ascend to Heavenly God?” Piaoxia True God couldn’t help but say.

“First place in the Ancestor Realm Battle, it’s extremely difficult to Ascend to Heavenly God,” Xinghuan True God stated resoundingly: “How about someone who acquired first place in the Ancestor Realm Battle at over forty years old? The probability of Ascending to Heavenly God is greatly increased.”

Taking first place at six hundred years old and at fifty are naturally two different concepts.

…

Reaching the top of the points leaderboard has caused a stir in the outside world, and though Li Yuan is also pleased, he does not get overly excited.

First in points? In his view, it is only to be expected.

It is simply the completion of the goal set before entering the Ancestral Realm.

What Li Yuan pursues now is to achieve breakthroughs in his Spear Technique and Soul Secret Technique.

Time continues to pass, day by day.

Li Yuan is still engaging with one powerful Semi-Divine after another.

As Sui Ningchi, Moon Blade, and others continuously burst forth in power, the peerless talents from Chaos Divine Court and Wandao Divine Court no longer held back, making the Ancestor Realm Battle even more dangerous.

Many top masters ranked within the top fifty, top thirty, began to join forces in groups of three, even five.

As the Ancestor Realm Battle continues to this point, most of the top hundred, top thousand masters, are already just trying to maintain their rankings.

However…

None of this has any impact on Li Yuan, to say nothing of mere talents ranked in the dozens joining forces.

Even if the top ten talents banded together, he could leave whenever he wished.

He remains as domineering as ever, relishing in the combat that hones his Spear Technique.

There are less than three days left until the end of the ‘First Stage’ of the Ancestor Realm Battle…

On a desolate plain.

Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!

Streaks of flowing light zipped across the Vast Sky, quick as lightning, mist-like, striking down one powerful Ancestor Realm creature after another.

Li Yuan continued to try out his moves and numerous ideas, not caring about the points acquired at this point.

Practicing the spear!

Has become a habit of his.

Even though now, in deriving secret techniques, there is no need to practice the spear, as it is purely about combining the Mysteries of the Law, Li Yuan still maintains this habit.

With the spear in hand, it purifies his heart, keeping his mind focused.

Time ticks away, every minute, every second.

“Boom!”

Li Yuan thrusts with his spear once more, its power contained within, yet wrapped around the spear tip were the mysteries of Wind, Earth, and Space – three grand laws. Each law’s mystery is not extremely strong, but when combined, they possess terrifying power.

“Whoosh!”

In an instant, in Vast Sky filled with Spear Light, the dazzling illumination instantly subdued, forming a thread.

This thread shot through the void, leaving behind in the vacuum a discernible, enduring ‘Void Trace’ visible to the naked eye, extending over a thousand kilometers before the trace of void finally dimmed and dispersed.

“Hahaha!”

“Leaving a trace in the void, a strike reaching thousands of miles.” Li Yuan’s eyes brightened, feeling a sense of exhilaration in his heart.

“This Boundary Cloud Spear’s Seventh Move, ‘Void Trace,’ I have finally mastered it.” Li Yuan’s eyes shone brightly: “With ‘Space Cutting’ as the core, absolutely concentrated, an absolutely offensive technique.”

For many years.

Li Yuan has been continually interpreting and comprehending the three grand laws, also continually seeking to combine these laws… Three years of struggles in the Lonely Cloud World, countless life and death battles within the Ancestral Realm, all furthering his Spear Technique.

Just that…

Combining laws to create stronger Combat Secret Skills is extremely difficult… For example, his seven years of Comprehension into the True Intention of Space reaching Intermediate Rank Eight Stage, and yet still not having a breakthrough.

The path must be walked by oneself.

“Be it called Comprehension or Law Compatibility,” Li Yuan realized, jubilant and excited, and he understood why he had been stuck at a bottleneck: “They only help me walk faster.”

“But this path has always been mine to walk.”

“In these seven years, my Law Comprehension has advanced more than many Pseudo-Gods advance in thousands of years.”

“I have experienced hundreds of life-and-death battles.”

“I have pondered countless times in madness.”

“Accumulation!”

“A towering building has never been built out of thin air.” Li Yuan gained new insight: “No matter how great the talent, without thousands of trials by fire, even if one cultivates quickly for a time, eventually, they will be trapped in bottlenecks.”

Whoosh!

His spear struck again, this strike brimming with Origin Power release, the vacuum once more trembled, as if heaven and earth were to be pierced by this spear.

“Boundary Cloud Spear’s Seventh Move, can be considered Pseudo-God Level spear technique (High Rank Eighth Stage), not reaching True God level.” Li Yuan calmed down internally: “Compared with Jing Kui, Ao Feng, Dao Ying, and other unparalleled Semi-Divines, it is still a level weaker.”

“However, it is enough.”

Previously, due to a large gap in spear technique moves, Li Yuan relied on a stronger Origin Power, multiple Nine Layer Star Techniques, and Soul Attacks… A comprehensive strength to be considered first.

Purely discussing offensive power, the previous Li Yuan, even when wielding an Origin Divine Artifact, was only comparable to Dao Ying.

And deploying multiple Nine Layer Star Techniques consumed a huge amount of Origin Power.

Thus, when facing multiple opponents, Li Yuan often hesitated, making it difficult to win in battle.

But now?

A breakthrough in spear technique represents a fundamental enhancement.

“Discussing pure offense, I’m probably also regarded as number one in the Ancestor Realm Battle now.” Li Yuan had absolute confidence.

“Looking over the entire battlefield of the Ancestor Realm, there should be no one who can match me.”
