High-Level Martial Era

Chapter 1557: Chapter 691: Hitting a Brick Wall

“The enemy is in the shadows, they must have detected our presence through some special means.”

The Dong Mang God King transmitted, “These raiding teams usually have considerable strength, with various means working in concert… We are likely not their match, so let’s try to escape from here first.”

Were we to prepare in advance and set up formations, the advantage would be significant.

Additionally, the inquiry abilities of some cultivation systems are extremely strong… In the face of life-and-death challenges outside, direct combat ability is important, but it’s not everything.

“Whoosh!”

The originally smoothly sailing warship suddenly exploded with brilliant light, and its escape speed sharply increased, surpassing light speed in the blink of an eye.

In Immortal Heaven and Earth, the rules of heaven and earth are completely different from cosmic space-time. Though the strong cannot perform Void Shifting, reaching light speed is not difficult.

“Buzz~”

A layer of hazy starlight diffused on the warship’s surface, enhancing the warship’s escape speed even further.

“Have we been discovered?”

“Quick! Suppress them!”

“Their perception is quite formidable.” The five strong individuals secretly approaching got anxious immediately; they had originally planned to get closer before launching an attack, but now they had to act.

“Boom!” “Boom!”

“Boom!”

Millions of kilometers around shook violently, as if the space had become a rising and falling tide, resembling a vast ocean, and the warship piloted by the Dong Mang God King turned into a small boat tossed amidst the storm.

“Stay here.”

“I’ve been stationed in this part of the starry sky for a long time, it’s like my home star domain. How can I let you escape?” A cold voice resounded through the vast starry sky: “Stop, you still have a chance to survive, otherwise, don’t blame me for being ruthless.”

Rumbling waves of space crashed against the Dong Mang God King’s warship, drastically reducing its speed.

Obviously.

This is an extremely special domain technique.

Whoosh!

The warship of the Dong Mang God King disappeared, and Li Yuan and the Dong Mang God King emerged at the same time, both emanating a strong life breath, easily withstanding the impact of the spatial waves.

“There are five of them.” Li Yuan’s gaze swept around, already perceiving the void space within a million kilometers where figures stood, each with an extraordinary aura.

The most striking was the figure in a purple robe, the one who had stirred up the space waves.

Eight towering figures exuding intense energy surrounded him… Just from their energy, it was clear that they weren’t truly living beings.

“Quasi-Saint puppets?” Li Yuan was secretly shocked and transmitted, “Little Tomb, help me observe what level those eight puppets are at.”

Currently, Little Tomb is merely a Cosmic Realm Holy Spirit Body, with mediocre external perception abilities, requiring Li Yuan to actively communicate.

“They are Third Rank Quasi-Saint level.”

“They were exchanged from the Immortal Divine Hall. They excel in Sealing Techniques.”

“These eight quasi-Saint puppets, if they join forces and perfectly execute a formation, even a Fourth Rank Quasi-Saint would struggle to withstand them,” Little Tomb marveled, “Li Yuan, you’re in trouble, be careful.”

Li Yuan’s heart sank.

To exchange for eight quasi-Saint puppets, the opposing party must have significant Immortal Merit… If they have much Immortal Merit, their strength won’t be weak.

“Senior brother, which faction are they from? Can you tell?” Li Yuan transmitted his inquiry.

Although he had received intelligence from the Jue Xing Divine Emperor, most of it was about the Emperor Realm, with little on Eighth Rank cultivators… After all, most Eighth Rank cultivators aren’t worth the attention of the Jue Xing Divine Emperor.

“They are from the Red Lotus Mansion, led by Mo Yue Quasi-Saint, who has certain renown in Tianluo Star City,” the Dong Mang God King said deeply, “We are in trouble.”

Red Lotus Mansion? Li Yuan was stirred.

Red Lotus Mansion is one of the top ten Divine Mansions in Tianluo Star City, its power no less than the Chaos Mansion, founded by a highly powerful Red Lotus Divine Emperor… The key is, most members of the Red Lotus Mansion aren’t powerhouses of the Eighth Dark Domain, but come from the Sixty-third Dark Domain.

This is quite common too.

Just like strong individuals from the Abyss Divine Court who venture into Immortal Heaven and Earth, they won’t linger in Tianluo Star City, Immortal Spirit Star City, or Heaven-reaching Star City.

Many major forces of the Eighth Dark Domain, if they don’t get along with the three Dominators of this Dark Domain, will head to star cities established by Dominators of other Dark Domains.

“So it’s ’Mo Yue Quasi-Saint’ from the Red Lotus Mansion, I’ve heard much of the name.” Though trapped in the domain, the Dong Mang God King remained courteous, “We are members of the Chaos Mansion, I am Dong Mang, and this is the Heart Origin God King. I hope you can grant us the favor of letting us go.”

Clearly, with the situation uncertain, the Dong Mang God King was reluctant to engage.

“Dong Mang? I’ve heard of him, but never seen him. He’s a contemporary quasi-Saint.” The five quasi-Saints exchanged transmissions among themselves.

Though the Dong Mang God King claims to have ventured in Immortal Heaven and Earth for a long time, he has only been at it for hundreds of thousands of years, which still makes him a ’newcomer’ compared to most quasi-Saints in Immortal Heaven and Earth.

After all, many quasi-Saints have been adventuring for billions of years.

“He has the strength of a Fourth Rank Quasi-Saint.”

“The other, Heart Origin God King? Never heard of him! Probably a newly emerged Eighth Rank cultivator.” The black figure’s voice was hoarse, “Not worth worrying about.”

In the Eighth Dark Domain, Li Yuan’s fame is not small.

But to other Dark Domain powerhouses, he is quite unfamiliar… After all, Li Yuan had never been to Immortal Heaven and Earth before.

“The Chaos Mansion isn’t to be trifled with… but we aren’t afraid.”

“Destroy them.”

“A Fourth Rank Quasi-Saint, it’s not difficult to eliminate him.” Mo Yue Quasi-Saint’s eyes were cold, his voice resonating in the minds of his four companions.

In Immortal Heaven and Earth, the true bodies of most quasi-Saints are already in a state of slumber, almost like ’dying men,’ many of whom do not pose any threats.

Furthermore, as forces of the same level, why would they fear the Chaos Mansion?

“Hmph!”

“Dong Mang God King.” A black figure, seemingly composed of countless particles, said coldly, “Fine, in respect for the Chaos Mansion… You two hand over all your treasures and swear an eternal oath not to pursue today’s karma again, and we will let you go.”

Li Yuan and Dong Mang God King’s expressions changed.

Hand over all treasures? And take an eternal oath? This is treating them like lambs to the slaughter!

“Everyone, don’t go too far.” Dong Mang God King’s expression also darkened.

“Too far?” Mo Yue Quasi-Saint, dressed in a purple robe, said indifferently, “Then you can all die, killing you means the treasures will be ours!”

Before the voice fell.

Buzz~ The space within ten thousand miles of Fang Yuan trembled violently, incredibly sharp ’Space Blades’ appeared, slashing towards Li Yuan and Dong Mang God King.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The eight quasi-saint puppets beside Mo Yue Quasi-Saint moved simultaneously, rushing in with a howl.

“Annihilate!”

“Kill!” The other four quasi-saints each used their methods, waves of eternal Dao aura erupted… auroras, blazing flames across the sky, combat sabers…

Their attacks were not weakened in this chaotic space; instead, they were somewhat enhanced.

“Really going to fight?”

“Junior Brother, I’ve already called for support from the quasi-saints of Chaos Mansion, we hold on, and rescue will arrive soon.” There was a hint of madness in Dong Mang God King’s eyes.

For ordinary looting teams, the reputation of Chaos Mansion was enough to deter them.

But the other party, clearly not afraid of Chaos Mansion.

“Senior Brother.”

“Since they want to kill us, then let’s have a good fight.” Li Yuan exuded an astonishing fighting spirit, stepping out, a cold voice echoed through the heavens and the earth, “Domain? Ridiculous.”

“Suppress for me!”

A cold voice echoed through the heavens and the earth.

Boom!

Li Yuan’s body instantly grew towering, and then, he emitted dazzling starlight from his whole body, surging in all directions. Phantom stars blossomed, as if opening up the heavens and earth, the cosmos evolving, bursting forth with grandiose power.

If he doesn’t act, so be it.

Once he acts, Li Yuan displayed the secret treasure ’World River’, though its might was not on par with the Cosmic Lotus, it far exceeded most domain-type top-grade God King weapons.

Using World River to perform the Emperor Realm’s ultimate skill ’Heaven and Earth Unification’, plus the Perfect Star Skill ’Myriad Star River’.

“Rumble~”

The World Domain operated, endless starlight surged freely, smashing the incoming space blades as if they were dry weeds.

Where the star phantoms reached.

The originally tidal-like spatial fluctuations were directly crushed, becoming quiet… In the blink of an eye, the void within ten million kilometers of Fang Yuan transformed into a vast world of starlight.

This was merely Li Yuan’s true body in action.

He performed the second style of ’Heaven and Earth Unification’, ’Realm Destruction’. He was the world… the domain was him, and its might was simply awe-inspiring.

Mo Yue Quasi-Saint’s domain was directly suppressed by Li Yuan.

And the other four quasi-saints, as well as the eight quasi-saint puppets, were also trapped in the infinite starlight, and their flying speed sharply decreased.

“Boom!”

“Tear~” The attacks launched by the four quasi-saints were heavily weakened by the starlight, and their might kept declining.

However.

Such powerful obstruction, those strands of starlight were also converged by Li Yuan’s divine power… weak.

ening these quasi-saints’ attacks, also made Li Yuan’s divine power rapidly consume.

“Junior Brother’s domain is truly formidable.”

“Even without that lotus treasure, he can still overpower Mo Yue Quasi-Saint.” Dong Mang God King praised, he too stepped out, instantly transforming into an endless towering figure.

Wearing an armor seemingly like ice, snowflakes drifting down, as if an ancient ice and snow war god.

At this moment.

The attacks of the four quasi-saints had already reached Dong Mang God King’s presence.

“Kill!” Dong Mang God King wielded a bronze battle spear, which emitted an endless vast aura, thrusting forward with a bang, and unleashing overwhelming power.

“Boom!”

With one spear thrust, under the cover of the boundless starlight, as if piercing through this realm’s space, all attacks from the four quasi-saints, whether streams of light or blades, were blasted apart.

Fierce beyond measure.

“Not good.”

“Such a strong domain?”

“And that Dong Mang is much stronger than the intelligence suggested.” The faces of Mo Yue Quasi-Saint and the others changed.
