Back then, when receiving the inheritance at the Immortal Divine Hall, Li Yuan chose "Burning Heart" from the four Sub-Saintâs Ultimate Skills, but he was already curious and eager for "Magic Cliff Melody" at that time.
Now, itâs finally in his hands.
Although he only got the upper half, with Li Yuanâs Eternal Dao Realm, itâs enough for a short time.
"âMagic Cliff Melodyâ was created by the Sub-Saint âDemon Cliff Emperorâ in the history of the Eighth Dark Domain."
"Itâs the strongest ultimate skill of the Void lineage, originating from Heart Artifact Dao, World Dao, and Space-Time Dao, forming the incredible âDemon Cliff Dream Realmâ. When cultivated to the extreme, even a Sub-Saint can easily sink into oblivion and die unknowingly..." Information about this Sub-Saintâs ultimate skill surfaced in Li Yuanâs mind.
The reason for learning this ultimate skill is that it fits Li Yuanâs Eternal Dao relatively well, and it can compensate for the shortcomings of the "World Nightmare" ultimate skill.
"My Void True Body, once incarnated as a Realm Nightmare, isnât truly a Realm Nightmare Beast. Except for the gifted ultimate skill âNightmare Destructionâ, everything else requires me to devise soul techniques myself." Li Yuan thought to himself.
"Magic Cliff Melody" better compensates for the shortcomings.
Li Yuanâs achievements in the Heart Artifact Dao arenât considered too high, even with the aid of Original Realm. Using other true bodies to perform "Magic Cliff Melody" would probably only slightly impact Dominators!
But if performed by the Void True Body, the might will increase tenfold or even hundredfold.
Of course, the premise is to learn it.
"Comprehending a Sub-Saintâs ultimate skill like "Magic Cliff Melody" requires enough time. There are only over six hundred years left until the Abyssal Sea Sacrifice, and I havenât yet developed the Space-Time Dao. Comprehending the First Layer isnât difficult, but understanding the Second Layer might be quite challenging." Li Yuan silently contemplated.
"Magic Cliff Melody" consists of six layers, the upper half being the first three layers.
...
"World Sword" was created by a Sub-Saint powerhouse âEast Ming Sub-Saintâ that Li Yuan has never heard of. Itâs based on World Dao, Destruction Dao, and All Things Path. Every move represents an extreme of material slaying, with endless might. When cultivated to the extreme, it can forcibly destroy masterless Cosmic Realms.
"This ultimate skill seems like a Sword Saint, but the mysteries of the Eternal Dao are interconnected." Li Yuan thought to himself: "Once I develop the All Things Path, it will be extremely suitable for me."
Material slaying techniques were also what Li Yuan lacked in the past.
It can be said.
These two Sub-Saint ultimate skills compensate for some of Li Yuanâs weaknesses, making him more comprehensive and terrifying... Sub-Saint ultimate skills can also provide guidance for deducing his Eternal Dao.
"Now!"
"Imperial weapons, ultimate skills, secret techniques, external cultivation environment, I lack none." Li Yuanâs eyes were calm: "Abyss? Do you think you can influence me by prematurely initiating the Abyssal Sea Sacrifice?"
Softly closed his eyes.
Li Yuan continued to deduce the mysteries of the Eternal Dao, while also allocating some energy to research the newly acquired two Sub-Saint ultimate skills.
...
Time passed, the Abyss and Immortal Divine Hall continuously tried to win over Dominators or conduct betrayals... but none could affect Li Yuan anymore.
In the blink of an eye, five hundred years passed.
Mohe Star Domain, East Pole Star.
As the homeland star domain of the current leader of the Divine Realm, Mohe Star Domain gradually became as renowned as Ziwei Star Region.
East Pole Star, being the core of Mohe Star Domain, has undergone astonishing changes compared to a thousand years ago, especially since Li Yuan spent years in seclusion in Mohe Star Domain... East Pole Star has now become immensely large, where many contemporary Divine Kings would frequently reside, and the number of Heavenly Deities has increased.
However.
All parties are very clear that on East Pole Star, the highest status doesnât belong to the Divine Kings but to the âSeven Star Civilization lineageâ.
Firewood Hall still serves as the gathering place for Seven Star Civilizationâs high-level members, where most of the civilizationâs Heavenly Gods are, such as Dongfang Ji and Fang Hai.
Today, in Firewood Hall.
"Liu Bing, congratulations." Dongfang Ji said with a smile.
"Aunt Liu, congratulations." Li Shu, dressed in a sharp black garment, also smiled and said, "This is the congratulatory gift I prepared for Aunt Liu."
"Okay, thank you then." Liu Bing accepted with a smile: "Compared to you, my cultivation speed is indeed much slower. Iâve only just achieved the Divine Monarch level now."
Liu Bingâs appearance hasnât changed much from the past, yet her aura has grown stronger.
"Li Shu is specially chosen by Li Yuan as a disciple and is a rare peerless genius in the Divine Realm for millions of years. Naturally, her cultivation speed is fast." Dongfang Ji smiled and said: "You managed to deduce the Space Law to the Eleventh Layer and reached the Divine Monarch level within a few thousand years, which is truly rare."
Liu Bing nodded slightly.
After thousands of years of devoted cultivation and with Li Yuanâs help through various treasures, she finally reached the Divine Monarch level... If she utilizes the exotic treasures gifted by Li Yuan, she can fully unleash the extreme power of a Divine Monarch.
Compared to her, Dongfang Jiâs cultivation speed was slightly slower, but he was close to reaching the Divine Monarch level as well.
"Iâve only reached the Divine Monarch level now." Li Shu quickly said.
"You little girl, do you think I know nothing?" Liu Bing smiled and shook her head: "You are a peerless Divine Monarch, ranked in the top three on the Heavenly God List, and Iâm afraid you arenât far from comprehending the complete Space Law."
Li Shu smiled.
Her cultivation speed is truly terrifying, with unparalleled talent and Li Yuanâs gifts. If she wished, she could become a God King in just ten to twenty thousand years.
However.
Li Shu never considered her talent high, considering her master is too formidable, having stood at the peak of the vast universe in a brief, awe-inspiring era, second only to a few legendary Cultivation Supremes.
Compared to Li Yuan, she is too ordinary.
She greatly worships her master and naturally sets him as her goal... Therefore, becoming a God King was never Li Shuâs desire, her goal is to break through in the Heavenly God Realm.
"The earlier one breaks through the path, the greater the chance of entering the Emperor Realm in the future." These were the words Li Yuan had spoken to her back in the day.
Becoming a Divine Emperor was her true goal.
In Li Shuâs eyes, only by achieving the status of a Divine Emperor could she barely qualify to call herself a âHeart Origin Masterâs Discipleâ.
"Li Yuan seems to have gone into closed cultivation for a few hundred years again, hasnât he?" Dongfang Ji suddenly said.
"Yes." Liu Bing nodded, "Not long after the calamity of the Sacrificial Realm, my brother sent a message once, saying that if there was nothing important, there was no need to disturb him... A few hundred years is probably very short for the level of a Divine Emperor."
"Divine Emperors are said to go into closed cultivation for tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years as a matter of course," Liu Bing said.
Dongfang Ji and Li Shu couldnât help but nod, knowing that they were also Heavenly Gods. It was quite normal for them to go into concealed cultivation for a few hundred years at a time.
In todayâs Divine Realm, everything is completely unified, and nothing poses any threat to their safety, so thereâs naturally no major incident that would disturb Li Yuan.
...
In the Mohe Star Domain, within the forbidden land space-time.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Li Yuan held his two fingers together in a sword pointing gesture, thrusting them forward, and in an instant, invisible sword lights birthed from Li Yuanâs fingertips, piercing through the void. These sword lights were not overly dazzling, nor did they carry a destructive aura. They seemed rather ordinary, yet were imbued with immensely terrifying power.
Penetrating the void.
The starry sky shattered.
In sheer might, it was even scarier than the material attack Li Yuan had used with the top-level Emperor Weapon five hundred years ago.
Fortunately, this forbidden land space-time was perfectly covered by the âHeavenly Net Tribulation Realmâ, so even supreme level moves could not affect the outside world.
"Iâve finally mastered the first sword perfectly." Li Yuan was quite satisfied. Over these hundreds of years, he had been contemplating and studying the two Sub-Saintâs Ultimate Skills.
âDemon Cliff Songâ was more challenging at the entry level and progressed more slowly.
In comparison, âWorld Swordâ was much easier. The âWorld Swordâ was divided into six forms, each without any special names, simply called âFirst Swordâ, âSecond Swordâ, âThird Swordâ, and so on, unadorned but unquestionably mighty... Based on Li Yuanâs achievements in the World Dao and Destruction Dao, he easily mastered the First Sword, and as time passed, he became more proficient, and the might with which he wielded the first sword grew stronger.
Until today.
He finally mastered the First Sword perfectly.
And at this moment.
"Weng~" Silently, centered around Li Yuan, a grand and vast Eternal Dao Intent suddenly manifested, countless strange phenomena appeared in the surrounding void, mountains, rivers, deserts, vegetation, stars... countless entities in the universe were reflected beneath him.
As if sitting on the other side of a world.
Simultaneously, fundamental Law fluctuations of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Wind, Thunder... began to emerge, flowing through countless entities.
The birth and evolution of all things!
Only after mastering the âWorld First Swordâ did Li Yuan belatedly realize that in his continuous deduction and study of the Sub-Saintâs Ultimate Skill âWorld Swordâ.
He had silently broken through the shackles and pioneered the fifth Eternal Dao â All Things Path.
"Very good."
"I thought that reaching the third step in the Myriad Spirit Dao five hundred years ago was already quite fortunate." A faint smile appeared on Li Yuanâs lips.
Indeed.
Over a decade ago, Li Yuanâs Myriad Spirit Dao finally broke through a bottleneck and took the third step... Yet over these hundreds of years of concealed cultivation, there seemed to be no hope of breakthrough in either the All Things Path or the Space-Time Path.
He thought the two-thousand-year limit of the Dao Map Space was about to arrive with no great hope.
No one expected that there would be a breakthrough today.
"All Things Path."
"I have pioneered five of the nine top Eternal Dao paths." Li Yuan gently closed his eyes, "World Dao, Myriad Spirit Dao, Great Destruction Dao, Heart Device Dao, All Things Path..."
Perhaps!
Those in the Emperor Realm are Sub-Saints, because their inner universe evolution is more perfect, more powerful, and their cultivation years longer, easily pioneering more top Eternal Dao paths.
But can one in the God King Realm pioneer so many Eternal Dao paths?
Li Yuan was sure that this was probably the first time since the cosmos was born.
"The mysteries of all things." Li Yuanâs gaze deepened; he had observed the mysteries throughout the Cosmic Realm. Everything was under his control; the pioneering of the All Things Path, even if only taking the first step, gave him a different insight into the mysteries and evolution of all matters in the universe.
"Letâs try it!"
"See what changes the Original Realm may have." Li Yuan gently closed his eyes, revealing the vast âinner universeâ within his Divine Heart.
Origin Land!
World Dao, Myriad Spirit Dao, Great Destruction Dao, and Heart Device Dao... The mysteries of the four Eternal Daos intertwined, seemingly independent yet subtly forming a grand and vast Dao Rhythm Conception.
This was the Original Realm.
It originated from the four Eternal Dao Intents but also transcended beyond them.
And at this time, under Li Yuanâs guidance.
Swish~ Another Eternal Dao Intent descended, it was the weakest, but as a top Eternal Dao, it equally represented an extremity of the Dao, an evolutionary direction of the universe.
