High-Level Martial Era

Chapter 1238: Chapter 577: Battle of the Divine Monarchs

“All power? Arrogant! Come face my sword first!” Ancient Origin Divine Monarch roared.

After breaking through the Cloud Light Realm, even though the surrounding space was still sealed, his flying speed and Ancient Origin Divine Monarch’s had already surpassed the speed of light, crossing hundreds of thousands of kilometers in an instant.

They were very close to the Cloud Light Realm City.

“Boom~”

Ancient Origin Divine Monarch spread his palms, each wearing black gloves containing endless profound secret runes.

His palms reached into the void, the might surged, and a pair of giant hands appeared in the sky, palm centers radiating endless destructive energy, while the black river surrounding him swirled, encircling the giant palms, with overwhelming power striking directly.

Buzz~ As the power of the palms operated, the region about to be impacted was faintly confined, with vast abyssal scenes emerging, the abyssal imagery and Cloud Light Realm City overlapping.

It seemed as if, after this strike, the entire starry sky would be utterly destroyed.

“Abyss Palm?”

“According to the intel, Ancient Origin Divine Monarch has nearly comprehended the Space Law, and also merged completely with the Law of Earth and Law of Fire, which allowed him to create this exceptionally strong Absolute Skill ’Abyss Palm’.” Li Yuan looked up at those massive hands comparable to the Cloud Light Realm City, “Combined with his pair of top-grade Heavenly God Artifact gloves and the Nine Layer Star Technique ’River of Darkness’, the power unleashed is indeed astonishing.”

“With that palm, if ordinary Heavenly Gods don’t form a formation, even ten of them together would be annihilated.”

This is a Divine Monarch, based on the Nine Stars Celestial Divine Body.

Law Absolute Skill, Divine Artifacts, and various other aspects are nearly at the Heavenly God level, hence they are called ’Heavenly Divine Monarch’.

As for God King Weapons? Most Heavenly Gods aren’t qualified to possess such precious treasures.

“What is that?”

“No!” The giant palm radiating destructive energy came, causing all beings on East Pole Star to be stunned.

Even though Ancient Origin Divine Monarch’s attack wasn’t specifically targeting them, it still made them feel piercing cold.

As if they were about to die in the next moment.

“Buzz~” Layers of seven-colored glow flowed, like a vast ocean, instantly sweeping over a broad area, not only covering the Cloud Light Realm City but also completely enveloping East Pole Star.

Within the seven-colored glow, phantasms of stars appeared one by one.

Every area on East Pole Star was completely covered by this seven-colored glow, flowing into every crevice like water, enveloping every resident.

“Collect!” Li Yuan too had deployed Fatian Xiangdi, transforming into a ten thousand-zhang tall incarnation, his heart moved, and the domain operated, collecting all life on East Pole Star into the Cave Heaven Treasure.

Engagement at Divine Monarch level up close, even a slight touch would result in the annihilation of East Pole Star.

“Bang! Bang! Bang!” The abyss illusion formed at the center of Abyss Palm had already collided with Li Yuan’s seven-colored Realm Sea.

As if two worlds were colliding.

“Even if you also have Nine Stars Vein Celestial God and have just stepped into the Heavenly God Realm, how strong can the domain be?” Ancient Origin Divine Monarch was full of confidence, yet in the next instant, he noticed the resilient seven-colored ocean.

Truly unbelievable.

Bear in mind, this abyss illusion was formed by fully manipulating Domain Star Technique, also complemented by a top-grade Heavenly God Secret Treasure…

However—

Outside Cloud Light Realm City, layers of starlight interwove, the abyssal illusion formed by Ancient Origin Divine Monarch slightly gained the upper hand.

“Such a strong domain?” Ancient Origin Divine Monarch couldn’t believe it, staring at Li Yuan, “He, a newly ascended Heavenly God, has such a strong domain?”

“I couldn’t gain the upper hand?” Li Yuan also felt unsatisfied, then immediately relieved, “Indeed, my Law Realm is far too low, and I haven’t yet trained ’Myriad Stars River’ to the seventh rank extreme.”

Li Yuan believed.

If he trained ’Myriad Stars River’ to the seventh rank extreme, he should be able to gain the upper hand in this domain battle.

“Boom~”

Li Yuan’s seven-colored Realm Sea could block the abyss illusion’s erosion, but could not block the continuous pressure from the two sides of the void, coming from the pair of Abyss Giant Palms…

Yet layers of starlight hindered, causing the power of the Abyss Giant Palms to weaken considerably.

“Domain, ultimately it’s auxiliary.” Ancient Origin Divine Monarch was surprised by Li Yuan’s domain tactics, yet his eyes were still filled with killing intent: “Under the abyss, I will directly suppress you.”

Li Yuan remained calm.

He deployed the domain, one to collect the countless lives on East Pole Star, two to buy time for the Sword Demon Heavenly God.

“Formation rise!”

“Realm born!” The Sword Demon Heavenly God located at the core of Cloud Light Realm City spared no carelessness, commanding thirty-six Heavenly Gods; at this moment, finally urging the Guardian Array of Cloud Light Realm City to the extreme.

Hua! Hua! Hua! Hua!

Layers of silver curtains rose, like rivers, fully thirty-six giant rivers, interwoven to wrap Cloud Light Realm City completely.

Sealing space!

Locks of heaven and earth!

Block inquiry!

From afar, the Cloud Light Realm City at this moment resembles a gigantic silver water sphere with a diameter of over a million kilometers, beautiful and radiant.

“Boom!” “Boom!”

A pair of Abyss Giant Palms pressured in, breaking layers of space, turning into endless spatial particles flow, as if two massive world walls colliding, finally bombarding Cloud Light Realm City.

Buzz~

The many Heavenly Gods inside Cloud Light Realm City only felt the city slightly shaking.

“Indeed, it’s Ancient Origin Divine Monarch, the Abyss Palm is truly formidable, actually eroding one percent of the range of my city’s Guardian Array, even touching my city.” Li Yuan’s voice echoed across the void.

Ancient Origin Divine Monarch was stunned.

Because—

Under his seemingly overwhelming double palm strike, at the moment seemingly about to close, it was as though striking flesh palms against iron, fundamentally unable to shake… Even the silver river only slightly collapsed, but resisted.

Held firm!

“Suppress!”

“Collect!” Without hesitation, Ancient Origin Divine Monarch’s heart moved, and a gigantic tower appeared in the void, its base revealing a massive exit, releasing strands of black light, attempting to collect the entire Cloud Light Realm City.

According to common logic, many Heavenly Gods hide within some secret treasures to withstand attacks from superpowerful beings, but it’s easy for them to be suppressed.

But at this moment, what the Ancient Origin Divine Monarch was doing seemed like a child trying to move a thousand-pound boulder.

It was simply a futile effort.

“Hiss hiss hiss~” Streams of silver river water rolled, with a large amount of river water eroding the Abyss Giant Palm, causing its divine power to rapidly deplete.

“Qingtian, are you just watching?” The Ancient Origin Divine Monarch urgently transmitted.

“I thought you could handle it alone.” Qingtian Divine Monarch transmitted back, and as they exchanged words, he also took action again.

Wow!

A wisp of cyan blade light appeared, instantly tearing through the heavens and earth… If the Ancient Origin Divine Monarch’s attack was overwhelming, with an absolutely powerful assault crushing the opponent.

Then Qingtian Divine Monarch’s sword technique could be described in one word—fast!

Extremely fast!

Just like before, splitting open the Cloud Light Realm, leaving Li Yuan and others unable to respond in time… This blade was unleashed, bursting forth instantly, and by the time Li Yuan and the others reacted, the blade light had already struck the Cloud Light Realm City.

“Hiss hiss hiss!”

The blade light traversed a million kilometers, mighty and imposing, carrying a terrifying momentum, intent on crushing the Cloud Light Realm City.

In an instant, it forced a surge of silver rivers to envelop the blade light, with energies clashing wildly, also causing the Cloud Light Realm City to tremble.

“There’s a chance.” The Ancient Origin Divine Monarch’s eyes lit up.

Dealing with a city divine artifact, as long as it could be shaken, there was a chance to gradually erode, and then suppress it.

“The Cloud Light Realm City, when fully activated, can theoretically withstand the assault of a group of Divine Monarchs.” Li Yuan thought in his heart, “It’s just that the Sword Demon Heavenly God’s realm is slightly lacking.”

“To think its foundation was shaken.”

A top-grade Heavenly God Artifact requires a high enough realm to exert perfect might.

Of course, at least the two Divine Monarchs before them couldn’t break through it.

“Bang!”

“Bang!” “Bang!” The Ancient Origin Divine Monarch and Qingtian Divine Monarch attacked with full force multiple times, but soon their expressions changed.

Because when they saw the city foundation being shaken and attempted to erode it, they found that this silver city, under the silver river, actually had layers of guardian formations, with flawless and perfect power, like an unbreakable piece of divine iron… they couldn’t erode it in the slightest.

Two Divine Monarchs! Fully erupted!

In their view, even facing a large group of Heavenly Gods teaming up, they could easily win, yet they couldn’t harm the enemy at all?

“This!! Could it be that there’s a Divine Monarch controlling the array?”

“Or is this city divine artifact a top-grade Heavenly God Artifact, and it has been almost perfectly activated inside?” The Ancient Origin Divine Monarch and Qingtian Divine Monarch found it unbelievable.

They indeed guessed correctly.

Even at the same level, artifacts have many classifications, each with its specialties… For example, the Cloud Light Realm City, as a city divine artifact, was meticulously crafted by a Divine King, excelling in defense.

This type of artifact is also the most precious and the hardest to forge.

Even though its might hasn’t been fully unleashed, it can still withstand attacks from the two of them.

“We can’t win.”

“Divine King, we can’t break through.” Qingtian Divine Monarch repeatedly transmitted through causal transmission.

“Two useless fools!” A cold voice echoed in the minds of Qingtian Divine Monarch and Ancient Origin Divine Monarch, from the shadowy Chen Mo God King.

He had been remotely observing the battle.

As an existence who mastered the complete Space Law, traversing vast star domains quickly was extremely difficult for them… but if there was a causal anchor point, merely having an awareness descend to explore and observe the battle was very easy.

“Trap them, don’t let them tear the void to escape.”

“I’ve ordered Mo Lian to come, he will arrive soon.” Chen Mo God King transmitted, “He excels at soul attacks and can help you.”

“Alright!”

“Trapping them is no problem.” Qingtian Divine Monarch and Ancient Origin Divine Monarch still believed they held the upper hand.

After all, they had been attacking all along, while Li Yuan and the others were merely defending with the city divine artifact.

But at this moment.

“Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!” Beyond the two Divine Monarchs in the dim void, suddenly space shattered, followed by the appearance of towering high towers.

Eighteen high towers on the surface, with endless mysterious secret runes flowing, emanating a vast and boundless aura.

They seemed to be part of space itself.

Silently.

“Hiss hiss hiss~” A thirty-million-kilometer void was directly sliced, cutting off Qingtian Divine Monarch, Ancient Origin Divine Monarch, and the central Cloud Light Realm City into an independent space.

“What is this?” Qingtian Divine Monarch’s expression changed.

“It’s my Black Light Realm Tower.” Ancient Origin Divine Monarch’s face turned ugly, “Li Yuan must have silently infiltrated while our domains clashed, trying to encircle us.”

The Boundary Light Black Tower was one of his most important artifacts, something Ancient Origin Divine Monarch naturally knew.

At this moment, he was extremely angry too, that the treasure he painstakingly obtained had become a weapon against him?

Wow! Wow! Wow!

The eighteen black towers stood tall, countless black lights interwoven, turning the millions of kilometers of space into a ’Dark World’.

“What should we do?” Qingtian Divine Monarch frowned.

“Don’t worry, Li Yuan dares not come out, with our strength, we can forcefully break through.” Ancient Origin Divine Monarch said lowly.

The Boundary Light Black Tower itself, combined with many top-grade Heavenly God Artifacts, could rival a top-grade Heavenly God Artifact, more like a formation, restricting the enemy’s movement… The spatial barrier between each tower is very weak, without other strong helpers, relying only on its power indeed cannot suppress a Divine Monarch-level powerhouse.

But at this moment.

“Aang!” A phoenix cry resounded through the void, a massive and imposing flaming divine bird flew out from the Cloud Light Realm City, fully on par with Ancient Origin Divine Monarch and Qingtian Divine Monarch.

“Time to close the net.” Li Yuan murmured to himself, a silver Divine Spear appearing in his palm, commanding, “Xuan Yang, Ice Ming, fight with me.”
