Chapter 1690 Anchor Point
Martial arts are an acquired path, and originally did not exist in the universe.

Initially, martial arts began with honing one's strength and tempering one's muscles and bones.

This great path must be honed and comprehended through constant life-and-death struggles.

At this moment, Li Yanchu was locked in a life-or-death battle with the Heavenly Profound Saint King, which perfectly matched his state of mind.

His martial arts have made a breakthrough, and his aura has become increasingly powerful, domineering, and fierce. Tianxuan Saint King was immediately defeated.

However, before the two had even decided who would win, a powerful figure arrived aboard a large ship.

Li Yanchu glanced around and spotted several Holy Kings.

One of them was the Heavenly Martial Saint King at the ferry. Li Yanchu had killed someone at the ferry to save Lin Yuan, thus incurring the Heavenly Martial Saint King's enmity.

Seeing Li Yanchu fighting with Tianxuan Saint King, Tianwu Saint King shouted, "Brother Tianxuan, why don't we join forces and get rid of this scourge?"

Tianxuan Saint King originally intended to suppress Li Yanchu with his own methods, and he had also heard that Li Yanchu possessed the origin of the universe.

However, with the outcome uncertain, he could no longer delay and immediately said, "These rebels are wreaking havoc beyond our borders and plotting evil. I urge my fellow Daoists to join me in capturing them!"

Upon hearing this, the Heavenly Martial Saint King laughed loudly, leaped from the ship, and charged towards Li Yanchu.

Facing the two Holy Kings, Li Yanchu suddenly felt immense pressure.

Not only that, two more figures broke through the air, each wielding the Great Dao of Wind and the Great Dao of Taiji respectively.

These two were no weaker than Tianwu and Tianxuan. With the four of them attacking, Li Yanchu was no match for them.

The Holy King of Heavenly Principles asked, "He has a deep grudge against you, fellow Daoist. I wonder if there is some other hidden reason?"

The Heavenly Profound Saint King said in a deep voice, "He is the one who escaped from the Earthly Immortal Realm that day. If we don't kill him, he will become a disaster sooner or later."

Heavenly Principle Saint King suddenly realized, "So it was him. This boy went to the Holy Realm, truly harboring wolfish ambitions."

Immediately, the Heavenly Principle Saint King activated the Great Dao of Wind, and countless gales transformed into divine blades that slashed towards Li Yanchu's body, forcing Li Yanchu to retreat repeatedly.

Li Yanchu asked, "Were you involved in the harvesting of the Earthly Immortal Realm that day?"

The Holy King of Heavenly Justice said, "That's right, what can you do to me? Do you intend to avenge these lowly people from the lower realms?"

Hao Yu Zhenwang, who was activating the Taiji Dao, laughed and said, "I was here that day, but today I will let you die knowing why."

These were all Saint Kings who had stormed into the Immortal Realm and reaped great rewards that day, and they now surrounded Li Yanchu.

Li Yanchu glanced at the four Holy Kings and shook his head, saying, "Even if you don't kill those Pangu Gods, I might not let them go."

"However, since you four are like this today, I will definitely visit you another day and cut off your heads one by one."

As Li Yanchu finished speaking, the four Holy Kings unconsciously felt a chill, but they quickly calmed down.

Tianxuan Saint King sneered: "The cultivators who came up from the lower realms haven't been beaten up, and they're really arrogant. Do you know what kind of place this is? How can we tolerate your wild behavior here?"

He raised his hand and unleashed a Yin-Yang Dao attack, but Li Yanchu activated the Killing Dao, directly shattering his divine power.

Then Li Yanchu activated his martial arts, creating countless clones to fight out!
Upon seeing this, True King Haoyu immediately used the Taiji Dao to trap Li Yanchu, causing the surrounding space-time to collapse and plunge into boundless darkness.

In his view, an immortal being at the end of his rope is nothing to fear.

However, at the very moment the two great paths came into contact, Li Yanchu's power suddenly surged. He forcefully broke through the Taiji Great Path with an extremely domineering attitude, tearing through the void and killing his way out.

This allowed him to break through the encirclement of the four Holy Kings and successfully escape.

Hao Yu Zhenwang was immediately embarrassed. The four Holy Kings had joined forces to allow him to break through through his own defenses.

"Where do you think you're going, you traitors!"

Haoyu Zhenwang shouted and immediately activated his supernatural powers to give chase.

Li Yanchu immediately took out a large ship, piloted the Abyss Ship, and fled the place at lightning speed.

Today, he fought against the Heavenly Profound Saint King. Although he eventually gained the upper hand by comprehending the martial arts, the outcome was still uncertain, and no one knew what tricks the Heavenly Profound Saint King had up his sleeve.

Unfortunately, we will not see the result of this battle today.

Li Yanchu abducted the four Holy Kings in an attempt to escape their pursuit and then seek revenge later.

However, these four Holy Kings were using their full divine powers, and their speed in catching up was astonishing.

Li Yanchu used many supernatural abilities in succession, but he was unable to avoid them.

Li Yanchu's heart sank immediately.

The chaotic star sea holds many secrets, and this place is extremely dangerous; even the Holy King needs to be careful when crossing it.

At this moment, Li Yanchu plunged headlong into the chaotic star sea. Upon seeing this, the other Saint Kings were alarmed. If they plunged into this place, their Dao techniques would inevitably dissolve, and their Great Dao would eventually collapse, leading to their untimely death.

The Heavenly Profound Saint King shouted, "Guard the Chaotic Star Sea, I refuse to believe he won't show himself."

Li Yanchu was indeed severely injured at this moment. He had just shaken his blood and qi to gain greater strength, but unfortunately, this battle still could not achieve a fair result.

He traversed the chaotic sea of ​​stars, his speed unconsciously slowing down, and the power within his body was constantly disintegrating.

Li Yanchu activated the Primordial Chaos Dao to resist, but the Primordial Chaos Dao within him was also constantly disintegrating.

However, Hongmeng is the highest level among the innate Dao, and it can withstand the attack for a short time.

At this moment, Li Yanchu sensed that the Holy Kings outside the Chaotic Star Sea were watching him intently, preparing to deliver a thunderous blow when he appeared.

Gradually, he traveled slower and slower, and the Primordial Dao on his body was constantly collapsing.

Li Yanchu tried two different paths: the path of slaughter and the path of martial arts.

However, these two Great Daos also faced great difficulties when confronted with the chaotic sea of ​​stars, and dissipated even faster.

"If I keep running like this, I'll be obliterated by this chaotic starry sea even without them chasing me."

Li Yanchu decided not to continue running for his life, but instead decided to go up and fight for his life.

Suddenly, the cosmic origin within him trembled slightly.

Li Yanchu frowned slightly. He really didn't want to use the origin of the universe unless absolutely necessary.

Last time, he used the origin of the universe to force Ye Ziyan and the other person back, which made Li Yanchu feel that this origin of the universe seemed to have an owner.
This was a rather terrifying thing, and he tried his best to sever this connection.

However, given the critical situation, Li Yanchu had no choice but to take a gamble. How bad could the outcome be?

At worst, I'll just die and my spirit will dissipate.

Li Yanchu then activated the origin of the universe. This origin of the universe itself has no offensive or defensive properties. It is the most core evolution of the universe, which is the prototype of a universe.

After Li Yanchu invoked it, the origin of the universe emitted a hazy light.

It itself would not perish in the chaotic star sea, but it still could not stop the speed at which the Daoist magic on Li Yanchu's body collapsed.

At this moment, Li Yanchu felt somewhat relieved. Since the last hope had been extinguished, he gathered all his thoughts and prepared to show himself for battle.

However, when he broke through the sea and rushed out, he found that the sea was calm and there was no one there.

"Strange, where are Tianxuan and the others?" Li Yanchu frowned, on high alert, but found no trace of Tianxuan and the others.

Moreover, he had a vague feeling in his heart, looked up into the distance, and then his gaze sharpened: "This is the aura of the human world."

He had just left the outer realms and was still quite far from the human world, so he shouldn't have been able to sense this aura. Yet, the aura was incredibly strong, just like when he had just left the border of the Three Realms and entered the Chaotic Star Sea!
Since he couldn't find Tianxuan and the others, Li Yanchu stopped thinking about it and tried his best to fly towards the place he sensed.

As Li Yanchu traveled through the world, he actually saw the outline of the human realm universe.

"Impossible! I was clearly near the outer realm just now, how could I suddenly be here?"

Li Yanchu was somewhat puzzled, and his gaze suddenly fell on the origin of the universe that he was holding in his hands.

"Could it be that the origin of this universe has formed some kind of connection with this chaotic sea of ​​stars?"

Li Yanchu was completely baffled. He flew forward with a skeptical attitude, leaving the chaotic star sea and arriving at the edge of the Three Realms Universe!

There was a rich and dense Primordial Qi there. Li Yanchu had the experience from last time and knew that he could only return to the Three Realms by passing through the Primordial Qi.

However, his original ship was destroyed, and he even destroyed his sword, the "Karma-Slaying Blade," during a previous battle.

Having already arrived here, Li Yanchu no longer hesitated and directly entered the Primordial Qi.

This time, without a large ship, his speed was extremely slow. In just a short while, Li Yanchu felt as if he had been frozen in place, and it was even difficult for him to take a step.

Li Yanchu took a few more steps, and gradually, he felt his thoughts were about to freeze.

"Damn it, without a special magic weapon, it's impossible to move an inch in this Primordial Qi. The resistance is just too great." Li Yanchu's heart sank.

He stood frozen there for half a day without taking another step.

Just then, the origin of the universe trembled slightly, and an aura enveloped Li Yanchu. Li Yanchu suddenly felt that the pressure on his body had disappeared, and he could hardly feel it anymore.

Li Yanchu's eyes narrowed, and he seized the opportunity to rush madly toward the Three Realms.

……

On the other side,
Several immortals, including the Heavenly Profound Saint King, used their terrifying divine senses to search for Li Yanchu's whereabouts, only to discover at the same time that Li Yanchu had vanished.

Tianxuan Saint King said in surprise, "Impossible. Even if he plunged into the chaotic star sea, he couldn't possibly disappear right under our noses."

But despite their extensive search, they were unable to find Li Yanchu.

Haoyu Zhenwang said in a deep voice, "In that case, there are only two possibilities."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's eyes turned to him.

Haoyu True King slowly said, "Either he encountered the dark currents in the chaotic star sea, which instantly dissolved him and shattered his Great Dao."

The chaotic star sea is extremely dangerous, which is also inseparable from the undercurrents within it.

After a pause, True King Haoyu continued, "There is another possibility: he encountered an anchor point."

The Chaotic Star Sea is a very strange sea area. If it weren't for some magical places, it wouldn't deter many people from going there.

No one knows how this sea area was formed. Inexplicable things often happen here, and some people may encounter anchor points in it.

Upon encountering this anchor point, you will be triggered to reach the incredible place known as the Chaotic Star Sea.

Some people will be transported back more than 10,000 years.

Some people will be transformed into the Great Dao.

Some people will be stripped of their cultivation.

Some people will be teleported to the vicinity of where they first entered the chaotic star sea, as if everything has been restored.

How exactly the anchor points are formed is unknown, nor is their function known; only these few rules are known to people.

As soon as Haoyu Zhenwang finished speaking, everyone's expressions turned somewhat grim.

If one encounters an undercurrent, that's one thing, but whoever encounters an undercurrent will immediately perish.

However, if they encounter an anchor point and Li Yanchu escapes again, it will be difficult to capture him.

Tianxuan Saint King said, “Everyone, last time we harvested the Earthly Immortal Realm, it was still an undeveloped universe with a huge undeveloped area. If he encounters the anchor point, he may very well escape back to the Three Realms. Why don’t we join forces to capture him and share the opportunities he has?”

The words of the Heavenly Profound Saint King were very encouraging. In the past, whenever he found such opportunities to make money, he would pull these people along to do it together.

Moreover, he was meticulous and extremely patient, and each time he made a move, the group plundered a considerable amount of wealth.

Haoyu Zhenwang said, "That's a backward universe. How many resources could it possibly have?"

Tianxuan Saint King said, "That is a very peculiar universe, consisting of three worlds. In addition to the two known worlds, there is another hidden world, belonging to an even more ancient era. When I descended last time, I found that it was almost about to revive."

As soon as the Heavenly Profound Saint King finished speaking, everyone's eyes lit up.

The revival of the ancient era means that the barren universe they perceive may very well hold unexpected treasures.

Haoyu Zhenwang laughed and said, "Since that's the case, what else is there to say? Let's join forces to explore this universe, hunt down this traitor, and plunder this universe whether he is here or not."

They hadn't paid much attention to this matter before, but now that they heard Tianxuan Saint King say this, and thinking about the huge wealth behind it, the others also chimed in.

Upon seeing this, the Heavenly Profound Saint King said, "In that case, let's go back and gather our forces, and set off immediately, the sooner the better."

Exploring a new universe naturally requires a lot of manpower; some mineral deposits need to be mined.

There are also some stars that need to be refined into stardust, and so on, the various resources are countless.

While it's possible to command the original natives, it's still more effective to manage them by bringing along one's own disciples and followers.

……

On the other side, Li Yanchu had already broken through the dense primordial energy and arrived at the edge of the Three Realms Universe.

Feeling the familiar avenue here, Li Yanchu looked at every blade of grass and every tree in the world and felt a sense of warmth.

"I'm back. At the brink of life and death, I never expected to return to the Three Realms."

Li Yanchu let out a long breath, feeling somewhat wistful.

He was seriously injured this time and needs to recuperate properly.

However, he had no time to heal his injuries and rushed to the Immortal Realm.

When Li Yanchu crossed the void of the universe and returned to the Immortal Realm, the scene before him made his heart tremble.

The imperial palace in the celestial realm had collapsed, and the once magnificent buildings and palaces were destroyed. The heavens themselves were shattered, leaving only broken fragments hanging in the sky. Everywhere was ruins and scorched earth.

"Impossible! I left behind so many resources and promoted the revival of the Great Dao. Who turned the Celestial Court in the mortal realm into this state?"

Li Yanchu felt as if her heart was being torn apart.

"Could it be that something from the ruins has broken out, or has a Saint King from beyond the realm already descended upon this place?"

Thinking about these possibilities, Li Yanchu felt her hands and feet turn cold.

He had never been afraid, even when he was on the verge of death.
But now he is genuinely afraid.
