High-Level Martial Era

Chapter 1721: Chapter 751: Yun Jing, Aren’t You Leaving Yet?

“Little Tomb, can we still open the Beihai Supreme Hall in time?” Li Yuan was communicating with Little Tomb’s soul.

Faced with the Abyss Divine Emperor’s murderous attack, Li Yuan did not fear excessively. Firstly, his surge in power had given him enough confidence to confront it.

Secondly, his trump cards were sufficient.

“There’s no time; I need enough time to use the Dao Seal Secret Technique to open the Supreme Hall’s door… Meanwhile, the gate of the Hong Ying Supreme Hall is already closed,” Little Tomb quickly transmitted. “Don’t hesitate, summon Yun Yu and the others out.”

“Though your body compares to an Emperor Weapon, with your strength surge it only barely reaches the Emperor Realm Peak level… To truly engage in close combat with a Dominator, you risk being killed in just a few moves.”

Being able to withstand a Dominator’s single domain attack is remarkable, but Li Yuan’s current strength is still insufficient for close combat with the Abyss Divine Emperor.

That would be underestimating a Dominator’s might too greatly.

Unless it’s an existence like the Chaos God Emperor, infinitely close to Dominator level… Otherwise, a normal Emperor Realm Peak would be desperately fleeing from a Dominator.

“This is the only way.” Li Yuan frowned slightly.

The nine Great Emperor Guards, each in the Emperor Realm, united, can indeed tie down a Dominator—a major trump card.

A trump card must be hidden and squeezed tightly. Only when the enemy is unaware can it deliver a fatal blow at the critical moment.

Li Yuan didn’t expect to be forced to use the nine Great Emperor Guards so soon.

Actually, if Li Yuan hadn’t developed the Heart Device Dao, optimally concealing the aura of the nine Great Emperor Guards in the Grotto Heaven World… Under normal circumstances, without a top-level Emperor Weapon like the Ancient Universe, it would be impossible to hide the aura of nine Great Emperor Guards in front of a Dominator.

A close-following Emperor Puppet is difficult to conceal from other superpower experts, but Li Yuan can achieve this himself.

“What a pity, without the Ancient Universe,” Li Yuan thought to himself. “Otherwise, relying on the Ancient Universe to escape, there’s hope to flee from the Abyss Divine Emperor.”

Without the Ancient Universe, Li Yuan’s escape ability is significantly weakened.

“Yun Yu, Yun Xin, prepare to act,” Li Yuan directly transmitted, while he also focused intently on the Abyss Divine Emperor, ready to unleash his defense.

It also takes a moment for the Emperor Guards to emerge from the Grotto Heaven World.

Of course, Li Yuan didn’t believe the Abyss Divine Emperor could utterly annihilate him with a single strike… As the black Combat Saber was already manifesting in the Abyss Divine Emperor’s palm.

As a dark saber light emerged.

Suddenly.

“Boom…”

The void vibrated, and the vast space-time controlled by the Abyss Divine Emperor was instantly torn apart, followed by the sudden appearance of an enormous warship.

The warship traversed the heavens and earth, with an aura as ancient as eternity.

“Buzz~” A figure in red armor flew out of the warship, his towering form spanning over tens of millions of kilometers, not inferior to Li Yuan, with cold divine eyes.

No sign of any Eternal Dao aura, yet exuding an incredible might as if the embodiment of the entire world, an invincible essence.

“Yun Jing, depart swiftly,” the red-armored figure’s voice was cold, echoing throughout the endless void.

“An Immortal Divine Hall’s Divine Guard, you dare to obstruct me?” A fleeting coldness passed through the Abyss Divine Emperor’s eyes, his Combat Saber not slowing in the slightest.

The saber slashed directly at Li Yuan.

This saber’s might far exceeded the previous palm! The destructive aura caused Li Yuan’s heart to pound.

Others dare not offend the Immortal Divine Hall, but this did not include the Abyss Divine Emperor, as he was a powerful figure of the Abyss Lineage, without establishing the Abyss Demon Cave within the Immortal Heaven and Earth.

No desire, naturally no needs, thus no fear.

“Hoo!”

Seeing this, the red-armored figure said nothing, directly raising a hand, sweeping at the Abyss Divine Emperor with a giant palm, the power soaring as if shattering the ancient Qing Tian.

“Hmm?”

“Something’s not right!” The Abyss Divine Emperor felt a shock in his heart, sensing something amiss. This palm came first, breaking through the void layers, directly blocking his Combat Saber’s strike.

Then!

Withstanding his full-force blow, reversing everything, counter-slicing at him… This palm contained no Eternal Dao aura, yet its might was overwhelmingly strong, seeming to nullify all Dao and techniques.

“Bang!”

A terrifying blow, the giant palm smashed through heavens and earth, an earth-shattering dynamic collision, its aftermath causing countless palaces on the Supreme Star City Continent to collapse, even creating visible horrific fissures across the continent.

Most tragic of all was the Abyss Divine Emperor.

The palm came too quickly; taking the hit head-on, his imposing body was sent flying backward, enveloping blood mist scattered, with numerous fine cracks appearing even on his black robe, and stunning cracks on the Divine Body.

This level of injury left him incredulous.

His black robe was crafted with utmost effort, a Top Grade Emperor Weapon, though not reaching Top Level Emperor Weapon class, its material defense was undoubtedly strong.

Yet it was damaged?

This palm’s might far surpassed him.

“You’re not a regular Divine Guard of the Immortal Divine Hall…” The Abyss Divine Emperor attempted to speak, but before he could say more.

“Still haven’t left?” The red-armored Divine Guard coldly raised another palm, seeming intent on obliterating the Abyss Divine Emperor.

At this moment!

The red-armored Divine Guard’s aura had grown unimaginably powerful, radiant beams of red light illuminating the entire Star River.

This aura was simply unbelievable, exceeding current Dominator level, causing Li Yuan to hold his breath.

“Not good!”

“Destruction!” The Abyss Divine Emperor’s face was heavy, not daring to hesitate any longer. Unable to care about the pain in his heart, he instantly activated a drop of strange black spirit blood within his Divine Body.

Hissing!

The spirit blood was activated! His life breath surged instantly, an endless blood mist coagulated again, and a massive amount of black flames spread in all directions.

His robe fluttered, with a surging wave of life bursting forth.

Amidst this strong life wave, an endless aura of destruction emerged, intertwining life and death, evolving infinitely.

As a Dominating Existence, traversing the cosmos, even when facing the Divine Guards of the Immortal Temple, he dared to fight.

“Slash!” The Abyss Divine Emperor roared angrily, a dazzling blade light emerged, slicing through the dark Star River, as if to annihilate the universe.

“What?”

“Is this a Dominator? The Fourth Step of the Great Destruction Dao?” Li Yuan gazed from afar, sensing the Dao and law contained within this slash.

That extreme destruction was beyond what he could currently achieve.

Li Yuan understood that compared to the Abyss Divine Emperor, his Spear Technique was still somewhat immature. This slash was more akin to ’Universe Destruction’. His ability to perform the third style of “Tribulation Destruction” was purely due to forcibly activating through his Original Realm.

To purely utilize the Great Destruction Dao, he still fell short.

Whoosh!

Facing the Abyss Divine Emperor’s onslaught, the palm strike of the Red Armor Divine Guard remained powerful, charging forward, colliding with the dark blade light meant to shatter eternity, moving hearts and shaking the entire Star River.

This was absolutely a clash at the Dominator level.

Even in the Eternal Relics, it was an extremely rare sight, a powerful dominator of the Abyss Road, Eternal Dao aura burning bright… while another came from the mysterious Immortal Temple, each move vast and open, containing no Dao or law.

Only the pure eruption of force.

Yet, the ultimate force could completely transcend the constraints of Dao and law, wherever the fists and palms reached, all Eternal Dao auras seemed destined for annihilation.

“Boom!”

The terrifying explosion caused a layer of misty blue light to surface on the Supreme Star City Continent’s crust—this being the highest Guardian Array of the Supreme Star City.

Faced with a Dominator-level clash, a Star City Continent wouldn’t withstand the residual shockwaves without activating the array, and would ultimately be obliterated.

Waves of aftershocks dissipated, making this place even more radiant in the starry sky.

It made the strong cultivators venturing in other star cities of the Star City Tomb Sea feel it too, involuntarily turning their heads to look over.

“What’s happening?”

“What terrifying fluctuations, who’s battling?”

“Probably a Dominator is fighting!”

“In the Honghe Supreme Star City… a Dominator-level battle? I’ve never witnessed it, quick, let’s go see.”

“A Dominator battle! Even if this true body perishes, seeing it firsthand is worth it.” Many strong individuals couldn’t resist heading over.

Of course, most of these powerful were Quasi-Saints, with few Emperor Realm, taking considerable time to witness the battle.

They merely hoped the clash of the two Dominators would last longer.

Years of cultivation, many Quasi-Saints’ strength hardly advanced, billions of years of practice…though unable to reach the peak of cultivation, witnessing the duel of two cosmos-shaking powerhouses was still worthwhile for them.

…

Above Honghe Supreme Star City.

“You are the Divine Guard Commander of the Immortal Temple.” The Abyss Divine Emperor managed to fend off the terrifying palm strike.

His aura remained formidable, surrounded by surging black flames, with none of the previous disheveled appearance.

He stared intently at the Red Armor Divine Guard, growling low, “According to the agreement between Immortal Heaven and Earth and the Abyss, you cannot intervene in battles of cosmic cultivators.”

He felt anger, almost capturing Li Yuan.

Unexpectedly, the Divine Guard of the Immortal Temple intervened, eons past…the Divine Guards rarely walked outside. Though they had near-endless lifespans, they also must abide by specific rules.

“Are you teaching me how to act?” The Red Armor Divine Guard’s voice was icy, “Remember, this is the Immortal Sky Pillar and falls within the forbidden zone.

“Yun Jing, you were once a holder of the Five-star Immortal Order, you know the rules.”

Boom~

The life breath of the Red Armor Divine Guard erupted again, soaring to inconceivable levels. Within an area of over a billion kilometers, the domain of the Abyss Divine Emperor was entirely suppressed and obliterated.

At this moment, the terrifying might of the Red Armor Divine Guard, made a flicker of fear appear in the eyes of the Abyss Divine Emperor, involuntarily retreating yet again.

This scene.

Also left Li Yuan utterly flabbergasted, he could feel the terrifying life aura of the Red Armor Divine Guard, yet he did not feel any sense of oppression, obviously because the Red Armor Divine Guard had deliberately restrained it, not targeting him.

“The Abyss Divine Emperor actually used Abyssal Spirit Blood to skyrocket his strength temporarily; it’s an exclusive technique for the powerhouses of the Abyss Lineage, only a handful of treasures and Absolute Skills can counter it.” Li Yuan’s mind flooded with thoughts, “Yet he was directly oppressed by this Red Armor Divine Guard’s aura?”

How powerful must this be?

Can a Divine Guard, once unleashing power, truly reach such levels?

At this juncture, Li Yuan gained a new understanding of the deterrent force of the Immortal Temple in Immortal Heaven and Earth…no wonder even Supremes avoid setting foot there.

With such a powerful single Guard.

What about an entire battalion of them? Even Supremes would likely be left in dread.
