"Heart Origin."
"Today, you survived my strike with the Emperor Array, with Heart Dream and Jue Xing protecting you." The Five Elements Divine Wheel at the end of the void vanished, and the will of the Abyss Divine Emperor retracted.
"May you always be so fortunate." These were the last words of the Abyss Divine Emperor.
He disappeared completely.
But the words of the Abyss Divine Emperor caused an uproar among the gathered God Kings.
"Emperor Array?"
"There is an Emperor Array on Beichen Star. Could it be that Heart Origin God Kingās explosion of such power is due to the Emperor Array of Beichen Star? No wonder!"
"I was curious why a newly advanced God King would have such incredible power, enough to suppress Perfect God Kings. So thatās why."
"The Emperor Array is ultimately an aid; having such power means Heart Origin God King isnāt weak himself." Many thoughts arose in the minds of these God Kings.
No matter how.
This earth-shattering battle ended as an Imperial War, enough to shock the entire cosmos and be sung about for ages.
..."Heart Origin." Black Stone God King flew forward.
"Junior Brother, what happened exactly?" Dong Mang God King also approached.
Other God Kings of the Chaos Divine Court gathered too, curious.
"My Master, Heart Dream God Emperor, and the Abyss Divine Emperor reached an agreement." Li Yuan said briefly, "I returned the Five Elements Divine Wheel, considered bowing to save the Abyss Divine Emperorās face... And the Abyss Divine Emperor promised not to attack me again."
"So thatās it." Many God Kings understood.
"Itās good not to be continuously hunted by the Abyss Divine Emperor, it would have a huge impact on your cultivation." Dong Mang God King smiled, "Bowing to a God Emperor isnāt shameful, itās rather your honor."
"Indeed."
"To survive a strike from a God Emperor, even using an Emperor Array, is enough to boast for a lifetime." Black Stone God King and Hun Hai God King commented.
In their view, achieving such an agreement in the end was the best outcome for Li Yuan and the Chaos Divine Court.
In reality, Li Yuan only revealed a part of the content.
That was what he could disclose outside.
In fact, the agreement between Heart Dream God Emperor and Abyss Divine Emperor had two parts.
Firstly, the Abyss Divine Emperor would not attack Li Yuan again; otherwise, the Heart Dream God Emperor would always interfere with the Abyss Divine Emperor.
Secondly, the Abyss Divine Emperor exchanged the Five Elements Divine Wheel back for āone million square Eternal Crystals.ā
Not to mention the entire agreement, it was essentially to save the face of the āAbyss Divine Emperor.ā
..."Speaking of which, this battle was a great victory for our Chaos Divine Court." Black Stone God King laughed, "Killing so many strong beings from the Abyss Divine Court, the gains are already immense."
"Indeed."
"Ordinarily, itās incredibly difficult to kill even a God Kingās true body."
"Especially Demon Cloud God King; all five incarnations perished... Many dangerous and treasured lands occupied by the Abyss Divine Court must be given up this time." The God Kings discussed, still filled with fighting spirit.
Though no God King from the Abyss Divine Court fell.
At least, in the short term, at the God King level, the Abyss Divine Court was unprecedentedly weakened, requiring them to yield many good places they occupied in the past.
Strength decides everything.
"What a pity."
"Heart Origin, you lost a true body; retraining one will take considerable time, greatly impacting your cultivation." Heart Realm God King sighed.
"Itās fine." Li Yuan smiled, "The God Emperor has bestowed a Secret Treasure, I will cultivate it swiftly."
"Thatās good." Dong Mang God King nodded.
"Everyone, letās return to the Divine Court Headquarters first." Li Yuan said, "Weāll discuss what to do next later."
"Alright."
"Return!" The God Kings of the Chaos Divine Court quickly tore through space, heading towards the Chaos Star Domain.
And throughout.
Jue Xing Divine Emperor, Heart Dream God Emperor... did not communicate with these God Kings, instead hiding within the Time River.
Though substantial gains were made, the initial joy Li Yuan felt at destroying the Abyss Divine Courtās army dissipated considerably.
What does some gain matter?
The direction of the entire Divine Realmās situation is decided by the Divine Emperor... just like the army led by Demon Cloud God King was destroyed, but the Abyss Divine Emperor didnāt even intervene.
Clearly, the life and death of God Kings wasnāt important to the Divine Emperor.
Moreover, facing the Abyss Divine Emperorās attack... the Origin Body perished instantly, the True Body was near death, which deeply shocked Li Yuan.
"Emperor Realm."
"In terms of power, with the Cosmic Lotus, Iām close to the Perfection Level of God Kings." Li Yuan silently thought, "With the help of the great array, Iāve surpassed Perfect God Kings... In theory, in terms of power levels, Iām very close to the Emperor Realm."
But itās just theory.
In front of a true Divine Emperor, Iām insignificant.
"Even if I stepped into the God King Realm now, with an increase in the Divine Body, my strength compared to a true Divine Emperor would still be far off." Li Yuan thought, "Let alone comparing with the Abyss Divine Emperor."
This battle seemed like Heart Dream God Emperor suppressed the Abyss Divine Emperor.
But from the final conversation, in terms of absolute strength, the Abyss Dominator, Abyss Divine Emperor still seemed stronger, just that Heart Dream God Emperorās state was more special, making him wary.
"Pure strength is no longer that important before the Emperor Realm."
"I must strengthen my own Eternal Dao."
"Eventually... I will have the confidence to confront the Abyss Divine Emperor on my own." Li Yuan silently vowed.
In his Inner Universe Origin.
Buzz~
Strange forces intermingled, quickly nurturing the fallen āOrigin Body.ā
...
In the depths of Abyss Star, a blood-robed figure sat cross-legged in a blood-red lake.
Suddenly.
Whoosh~ A massive Five Elements Divine Wheel appeared out of thin air, glowing with radiance, while a strong will materialized and a blurry figure emerged.
"Five Elements Divine Wheel?" Demon Cloud God King felt excited, then respectfully bowed, "God Emperor."
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Two figures emitting strong auras appeared out of nowhere, surprisingly the Demon Sea God King and Broken Sword God King.
"God Emperor." Demon Sea God King and Broken Sword God King also respectfully bowed, their eyes subtly filled with fervor.
At the same time, they noticed the Five Elements Divine Wheel afar.
"Demon Cloud, retrieve the Five Elements Divine Wheel." The Abyss Divine Emperorās voice was icy, "This is a weapon I forged, I donāt want you to lose it again."
"Yes." Demon Cloud God King felt somewhat ashamed.
Having the God Emperor act to retrieve the treasure was a form of disgrace.
"The fault in this battle doesnāt lie with you; the Heart Origin God King could suppress you all... simply due to the environment of Beichen Star." The Abyss Divine Emperorās voice was indifferent, "Though you died, it wasnāt without value, but rather confirmed some of my suspicions."
"Heart Origin God King, in terms of talent, is indeed the first in the history of the Heart Dream Universe, likely to reach my level in the future." The Abyss Divine Emperor said slowly.
Demon Cloud God King, Demon Sea God King, Broken Sword God King listened with complex emotions.
This was spoken by the Abyss Divine Emperor himself.
Crossing from God King to Divine Emperor... is an extremely difficult step, yet according to the Abyss Divine Emperor, Li Yuan will likely find it much easier to cross.
"God Emperor."
"Given Heart Origin God King poses such a threat, why not eliminate him?" Demon Cloud God King couldnāt help but ask.
"The best opportunity has passed, Star Domain Master, cannot be killed." The Abyss Divine Emperor said indifferently, "Secondly... his talent doesnāt equal having that much time."
The three God Kings were taken aback.
Time?
Rationally speaking, the Heart Dream Universe has only existed for over twenty billion years, still a long way from the Intermediate Rank.
"I came to see you."
"Because the Abyss Gate is about to open." The Abyss Divine Emperorās gaze swept over the three, "You are the three most powerful Eighth Rank beings among the territories Iāve commanded in this universe realm."
"Would you be willing to enter the Abyss Gate?"
