As a True God, the life origin is the āDivine Heartā.
Upon reaching the True God Realm, even if parts like the head, heart, arms, etc., are destroyed, it is not a problem. Divine Power can quickly recover them... Even if the entire body is completely annihilated, as long as the Divine Heart remains, it can all be swiftly restored.
Itās practically an Undying Body!
Only the Divine Heart, if it shatters, will cause the Divine Heart World to collapse, and that is genuine demise.
"The Divine Body I have refined is comparable to that of the Divine Monarchs, but the sturdiness of my Divine Heart is far inferior to their āDivine Rankā." Li Yuan was very clear on this point.
The Transformation of the Divine Heart into Divine Rank.
Essentially, it is the might conferred by the world once one fully masters a Law of the Great Dao, making it incomparably solid... This is what allows, within the Heavenly God Divine Rank, the metamorphosis into āInner Heaven and Earthā.
The core of the Divine King is still the Divine Rank, but it is nurtured by the Complete Space Law, and its might is extraordinary.
"Resist!"
"Strive, to higher places." Li Yuan continued to proceed silently, striving to withstand that invisible pressure.
Swish swish swish~ More purple light converged onto Li Yuan.
It even caused Li Yuan to feel a āpain sensationā, and this pain did not stem from the soul, nor the Divine Body, but from the life origin... as if the life origin was being pressed to the point of collapse.
"The Life God King Inheritance mentioned that the āLife Pathā he pioneered could directly strip away the āLife Markā of numerous powerful beings, which could be termed āLife Strippingā, a special means transcending soul attacks and material attacks." A thought flashed through Li Yuanās heart: "Could the pressure of this purple light be a similar method?"
This Life Stripping.
Does not target the Divine Body or soul, yet can cause one to die silently and thoroughly.
It is an āEternal Daoā surpassing heaven and earth.
Time passed by.
The further he went, the more Li Yuanās soul will could endure, but the Divine Body could no longer hold up, and his whole person became shaky... A vast ocean-like fatigue surged relentlessly in his heart.
Until a certain moment.
It seemed that Li Yuan truly reached his limit, or perhaps it was a kind of protection within the trial.
Buzz~
Li Yuan could no longer hold on, and his vision instinctively went black, as though he was fainting, crashing forward...
When he regained consciousness again.
"Me?" Li Yuanās awareness recovered, only to suddenly realize that he was standing again at the foot of the towering mountain.
The previous sense of Divine Body exhaustion had disappeared without a trace.
"Failed?"
"Couldnāt make it to the top?" Li Yuan muttered to himself. In the final stage of the climb, his consciousness was wholly absorbed in withstanding that fatigue, having no idea how high he had climbed.
Suddenly.
"Li Yuan, congratulations." A voice with a hint of laughter rang out, and a giant purple beast had already flown down beside Li Yuan: "You successfully got through two-thirds of it?"
"Pity I didnāt reach the top." Li Yuan shook his head, though he still harbored some desire in his heart.
"Haha, reach the top?"
"You are already impressive. The place where you failed finally is at an altitude of 860,000 kilometers from the ground." The purple giant beast laughed: "Youāve just become True God Realm and far surpassed the previous thirty-five candidates."
Li Yuan nodded calmly.
"You seem not excited at all, nor joyous." said the purple giant beast.
"My Divine Body is so strong that surpassing them is as it should be." Li Yuan shook his head.
This was not Li Yuanās arrogance, but what he believed in his heart it should be.
"Indeed, your soul will is strong." The purple giant beast sincerely exclaimed: "Your Divine Body just recently transformed. It will be easy to finally reach the Heavenly God Limit after continuing to nourish your soul. The purple mountainās soul pressure and illusionary realm assault, you should be able to withstand."
"But."
"Your true difficulty lies in the life origin pressure." The purple giant beast laughed: "You failed on this aspect as well."
"Indeed." Li Yuan nodded. At the moment of failure, his soul will could still resist completely.
But the life origin couldnāt endure it.
"Your Divine Heart is strong, but speaking only of resistance against the purple mountain, it is only slightly stronger than the previous two Ten-Star Meridian candidates." The purple giant beast said: "They havenāt truly unleashed the potential of Perfect Ten Star Veins yet."
"Please guide me, Holy Spirit." Li Yuan inquired hastily.
The Holy Spirit would not speak without target.
"Their Law Comprehension is higher than yours. Even though the Divine Heart World has transformed into Inner Heaven and Earth, through reconstruction, it has become stronger." The purple giant beast frankly said: "The stronger your Divine Heart World, the stronger your life origin will be naturally, then you will have the hope to reach the summit."
"Construct the Divine Heart World? Make the Divine Heart World stronger?" Li Yuan already understood the path he needed to take next.
Only by strengthening the life origin.
Could he hope to reach the summit of this purple mountain and fully control the Ancient Universe.
"Holy Spirit."
"Heart Dream God Emperor, why must it be required for the candidate to control the āAncient Universeā in the True God Realm?" Li Yuan was puzzled: "Isnāt it possible at the Heavenly God Realm?"
In Li Yuanās opinion, if the previous candidates could challenge in the Heavenly God Realm, most would likely have the hope to reach the summit.
The foundation is different, and the ability to withstand is entirely different.
"I donāt know either."
"I just act on the orders of my master." The purple giant beast shook its head: "But I know one thing, master crafted the āAncient Universeā, even though it utilized treasures left by Hong Ying God Emperor, somewhat of a clever usage... But looking across the entire Divine Realm, only the master could achieve this level."
"Even Chaos God Emperor, Starry Sky God Emperor, Abyss Divine Emperor... absolutely couldnāt craft it." The purple giant beast solemnly said: "The Ancient Universe is a supreme treasure of great use to even the Divine Emperors."
