Using the Divine Crystals as energy directly for storage, this method is indeed astonishingly efficient.
It ensures that the Void Ship can always travel at maximum speed.
The only downside, is the cost!
"Iâm not lacking in many things, but I do have plenty of Divine Crystals," Li Yuan mused to himself.
Before entering the Emperor Origin Realm, Li Yuan exchanged âten billion Fangshen Crystalsâ with Heart Dream Coins.
This was to prepare for unforeseen needs during the Emperor Origin Realm tasks.
These are not treasures worth ten billion Fangshen Crystals, but real, genuine Divine Crystals... Li Yuan believed that even a True God Limit Expert couldnât easily bring out such an amount at any moment.
At that time, Li Yuan thought that even if he fell into a âworld without Origin Power,â relying solely on these Divine Crystals should sustain him for several hundred years.
"Want to catch up with me?"
"According to what Yan Chong the Pseudo-God said, in the Dao Court, besides the Taoist Ancestor, there shouldnât be anyone who can rely on their own power to control Void Shifting," Li Yuan pondered.
Using oneâs own Void Shifting is comparable to a Transmission Array, with efficiency more than a hundred times that of a Void Ship.
"If we are both using Void Ships, I can bombard them with Divine Crystals, and I donât believe the Dao Courtâs army can catch up," Li Yuan thought to himself. "If they still manage to catch up, then Iâll have to use the Void Walker."
The Void Walker, for the current Li Yuan, still remained a crucial trump card, not to be exposed easily.
Boom!
After Li Yuan invested a large amount of Divine Crystals, the Void Ship continued to fly at maximum speed, repeatedly activating the Void Shifting Formation.
...
In the vast void, far from the warship Li Yuan was controlling.
The team of Heavenly Immortals led by Chang Yun repeatedly tore through the void to travel.
"The distance between us hasnât shortened at all." Chang Yun instantly understood: "Theyâre also constantly tearing through the void? They know weâre pursuing them?"
"Hmph!"
"Iâd like to see how much energy your Void Ship has stored," Chang Yun said confidently. "We are carrying ten Void Ships with us; once the stored energy in one is exhausted, we can quickly switch to the next one."
"Yes!"
"Based on past experiences, these Pantheon lurking troops mostly have rather basic Void Ships, which are likely not as advanced as ours."
"Even if they killed Feng Rui Immortal and obtained a Void Ship, it wonât sustain them for long," the other Heavenly Immortals laughed, feeling quite relaxed.
Time passed.
Fifteen minutes, an hour, two hours... nearly a day later.
All the Heavenly Immortals on this warship had quieted down.
They had replaced all ten Void Ships once over, and the âreserve energyâ of the ten ships had been entirely consumed, but through the âHeavenly Realm Mysterious Lightâ sensing, they found that the distance between them still hadnât narrowed at all.
Furthermore, they had put a large amount of âImmortal Crystalsâ into the storage room of the Void Ship, consuming a significant amount of their own mana as well... still unable to narrow the distance.
Immortal Crystals are actually just Divine Crystals, only called by a different name.
Chang Yun felt a burning sensation on his face.
Because, during the third replacement of a ship, Chang Yun had confidently claimed, "These fools from the Pantheon are definitely consuming their own energy treasures, but they wonât last long."
During the sixth replacement, he was saying, "Itâs soon, the opponent is definitely nearing their limit."
Unexpectedly.
They chased to the point of exhaustion, yet the distance to catching up was still a long way off.
"Give up."
"Our Mana is nearly all consumed; I do not wish to take out more Immortal Crystals."
"Yes, give up, pursuing like this, even if we catch up, our Mana will be depleted, and we might not win either."
"Itâs not a battle-worthy fault." One after another, the Heavenly Immortals spoke up.
They were nominally subordinates of Chang Yun, but in reality, their positions were quite close to each other.
In such war tasks, they were unwilling to consume too many of their own treasures.
Seeing this, Chang Yun had no choice but to stop the warship. If he insisted on pursuing, he could only bring out treasures alone to make up for the energy shortfall, which he naturally didnât want to do.
The main issue was, they saw no hope.
If they pursued for another half a day, they would be reaching the outskirts of the Myriad Spring Void.
"Damn it!"
"It must be because of that mysterious Demon God," Chang Yun said in a low voice. "Otherwise, relying only on a lurking troop, it would be impossible to last this long. Who exactly is that mysterious Demon God? We must find out."
The Heavenly Immortals nodded, feeling a sense of threat.
"Letâs report back to the Heavenly Emperor."
...
In the Hongguang Dao Court, in the Heavenly Realm, within that supreme Heavenly Palace, there is a majestic throne.
A black-robed emperor sits on the throne, overlooking the countless palaces within the Heavenly Palace.
Below him, were numerous Heavenly Court legions, quietly waiting and ready to set out for battle at any time.
He was the Heavenly Emperor of the Hongguang Dao Court, the âFire-Dou Heavenly Emperor,â second only to the Hongguang Taoist Ancestor.
"Failed to pursue and kill? How could that be? With the Heavenly Realm Mysterious Light locking down the position, and over a hundred Heavenly Immortals pursuing, they still couldnât catch up?" Fire-Dou Heavenly Emperor found it hard to believe.
After receiving a report from Feng Rui Immortal, he immediately ordered the activation of the âHeavenly Realm Mysterious Light.â
At that time, Li Yuan had not yet revealed his strength, yet he dispatched a hundred Heavenly Immortals to pursue, clearly showing great importance.
Yet it still failed.
Suddenly.
Whoosh! A streak of light descended from the void, arriving before the Heavenly Emperorâs throne, bowing slightly in salute: "Reporting to the Heavenly Emperor, thereâs an important matter to report."
"Immortal Register Heavenly Monarch, please speak." The Fire-Dou Heavenly Emperor felt a hint of foreboding in his heart.
The Immortal Register Heavenly Monarch, responsible for overseeing the âImmortal Ascension Recordâ, held the most honorable position under the Heavenly Emperor.
"Reporting to the Heavenly Emperor."
"Feng Rui Immortal, Chang Yun Immortal, the Vast Action Heavenly King, along with the seven hundred True Immortals who just died... the âImmortal Book Spiritual Lightâ contained within their Primordial Spirits did not return after their deaths," the Immortal Register Heavenly Monarch said in a low voice. "The Immortal Ascension Record has issued a warning."
