Capítulo 1745: Chapter 765: The Might of the Absolute Skill (5K)

In the Immortal Heaven and Earth, within the Supreme Hong Ying Hall, soul pillars of purple stand as if eternally existent.

A figure clad in a Purple Garment, towering over millions of kilometers, sits cross-legged before one of the soul pillars. His eyes are tightly closed, his Soul Aura has descended to the utmost tranquility, naturally, it is Li Yuan.

Not far away, a phantom in a Golden Robe stands, observing Li Yuan intently.

“Heart Source Quasi-Saint,” thought Jin Yuan, “since the last time he forged the Heart Device Dao, he broke through the shackles of more than ten soul pillars in one stroke, then his consciousness slumbered within a soul pillar for several decades before he awakened.” “Now, he’s been asleep for over a hundred years again, who knows what he’s experiencing.”

Yet, over the long years, Jin Yuan possesses enough patience. Li Yuan’s growth pace has already filled him with immense surprise.

Suddenly.

Buzz~ Li Yuan, sitting cross-legged, opened his eyes, and his Life Breath suddenly erupted and soared; it was evident his consciousness had returned from the soul pillar.

“This time, I’ve actually crossed nearly a billion years? It’s truly incredible.” Li Yuan’s gaze held a trace of change.

This was the time experienced within the soul pillar, affecting his self-awareness.

After all, compared to Li Yuan’s own lifetime, this period was incredibly lengthy. Had it not been for his robust willpower, he might still risk a consciousness split.

“Ascending to God King, becoming an Emperor, traversing a realm, seeking joy and vengeance with abandon,” Li Yuan mused.

The protagonist of these memories spanned nearly a billion years, always growing within a small Cosmic Realm, where he alone reached the Emperor Realm.

In his youth, he was a peerless genius.

As he grew, he once protected a world, but in the end, the world was destroyed due to a war with the Alien Race’s invasion, and he was forced to flee. For revenge, his disposition completely changed; he stopped at nothing to become stronger.

Eventually, he achieved revenge, yet lost his motivation and goal.

During those years, his personality had twisted and become eccentric. Later, he learned that there were hopes in the Emperor Realm for reviving the deceased. To revive his lost family and friends, he pushed himself to the utmost, fell into demonic ways, and slaughtered many innocents.

Finally, he became an Emperor!

However, upon reaching this realm, he was shocked to realize that ordinary Emperor Realms can’t reverse time to resurrect. Reaching the Peak of Emperor Realm? He saw not a shred of hope.

He was utterly desperate!

And grew even more ferocious. In the entire Cosmic Realm, he alone was at the Emperor Realm, and everything was under his control, doing whatever he pleased; some actions could be described as madness!

Gradually, any potential God King Realm genius in the Cosmic Realm would be secretly controlled or killed by him.

This was an exceptionally unique experience.

After nearly a billion years, this eccentric being worthy of the title ‘Demon Emperor’ finally encountered a special treasure’s corrosion while exploring outside the Cosmic Realm, leading to the downfall of all his True Bodies.

Only then did Li Yuan wake up.

“Such a mad Emperor Realm, I’ve not encountered before,” Li Yuan mused, of the Emperor Realms he had met, some were indifferent, some loved slaughter, others pursued the Abyss Road, while some were deeply scheming.

But regardless, each had their own pursuits and obsessions.

Pure evil? Deriving pleasure from tormenting ordinary beings? Far too rare; typically, what existence does an Emperor Realm not disdain such actions?

“My willpower still isn’t strong enough; nearly a billion years passed, and I was subtly influenced by such emotions,” Li Yuan shook his head, “For now, I need to refine various distractions once again. Only when my heart is entirely serene can I reattempt this soul pillar.”

The soul pillars chosen by Li Yuan continuously increase in difficulty.

To overcome means to awaken fully from the immersion in that journey, to truly comprehend all from an observer’s perspective.

“My willpower now rivals that of ordinary Emperor Realms, but to thoroughly pass this test, the hope seems elusive,” Li Yuan pondered, “I must elevate my will to the second stage of Eternal Heart, ‘Immortal Heart.’

Achieving Immortal Heart is something many at the Peak of Emperor Realm and even some Dominators haven’t reached, its challenge imaginable.

However!

This obstacle can’t be bypassed.

“Jin Yuan said, to achieve Immortal Heart, one must face their obsessions calmly, to transcend and comprehend the obsessions themselves, to be unbound by them, keeping nothing but letting go of everything,” Li Yuan quietly contemplated.

Knowing is easy, doing is hard.

Though Li Yuan’s will is strong, and he has grown amidst countless trials with tenacity, he still hasn’t fully figured out how to make this leap.

“Then, through the soul pillars, I shall repeatedly gain insights and temper myself,” Li Yuan’s heart returned to tranquility, “With the passage of time, my will shall grow ever stronger; perhaps one day, I will suddenly comprehend and break through.”

The path of cultivation is never all smooth sailing.

When breakthroughs are hard to come by, persistence, accumulation, and unwavering dedication will eventually increase the hope of a future breakthrough.

“Hmm? The will hasn’t undergone Transformation.”

“Yet this consciousness returning to True God, merging with the Eight True Bodies’ consciousnesses from the hometown Cosmic Realm, surprisingly allowed me to break through a critical bottleneck.” A faint smile rose on Li Yuan’s lips: “The Heart Seal of the First Layer of ‘Burning Heart’ has finally been successfully condensed.”

…

In the time-space forbidden zone of the Mohe Star Domain within the Heart Dream Universe, Li Yuan’s seven True Bodies all sit cross-legged in the void.

Suddenly! The seven True Bodies simultaneously erupted waves of peculiar fluctuations, causing the oppressive aura they emitted to continuously escalate.

Not yet True Gods, yet more exaggeratedly terrifying than True Gods.

Buzz~ This pure Life Pressure dispersed, making the space-time of nearby dozens of light-years seem to collapse continuously, even faintly showing signs of tearing.
