Two Realms High Martial Arts: Gathering the Heavens to Become a Great Luo Immortal

Chapter 461 Return to Dasheng, Yuan An's Path to Advancement

Li Xijun's figure merged into the void, completely disappearing from this star field that was being turned upside down by the aftershocks of the battle.

However, the shock and aftershocks he left behind were like a boulder thrown into a still, deep pool, the ripples spreading at faster-than-light speed to every corner of the known star field, and stirring up a monstrous wave in the hearts of those at the top of the pyramid.

Blood Abyss Mirror Realm, a virtual communication space.

The six projections, representing emperor-level beings from top powers other than the human race, fell into a deathly silence.

The entire process of Li Xijun slaying the Blood Kun, from severing cause and effect to the cascading of the Milky Way, to the final sword strike, and the bizarre scene of the Blood Kun's essence being mysteriously devoured and his aura surging, was all witnessed by them.

Every scene was like a heavy hammer, striking their hearts hard.

"Dead—dead—" Sea Emperor Bonis was the first to break the silence, causing a slight ripple in the previously subdued atmosphere.

His voice had lost its usual elegance and calculation, replaced only by pure horror and bewilderment. "The Blood Kun—was really killed—right before our eyes—by just three sword strikes?"

Solaken of the Spirit Crystal Clan, his cold, mechanical voice trembling uncontrollably: "--Combat data recording complete--Analysis result: Target Li Xijun's overall combat strength estimate--Unable to be precisely calculated--"

Far exceeding the existing database's standard template for the mid-stage Martial Saint level—

The God-King Otto's face was filled with unprecedented terror. "The first sword severed cause and effect, destroying its home turf. The second sword stirred up the galaxy, directly shattering its desperate attack and severely wounding it. The third sword—what exactly is that?"

"That's the power a Martial Saint should possess? — This is clearly a sight only a True Immortal could glimpse! How could he possibly be at the mid-stage of Martial Saint—"

The three lords of the Crimson Abyss reacted most directly.

The spectral image of Groom, the King of Gluttony, trembled, conveying a mix of fear and lingering dread: "This was terrifying—I need to retreat to the deepest part of the abyss and hide—"

The Lord of Deceit, Xisorn, spoke in a shrill voice filled with panic: "His growth rate—mid-stage Martial Saint in seven years—killing the Blood Kun as easily as wiping out an ant in the Vajra Realm—give him a few more years."

More than ten years? By the time he consolidates his mid-stage cultivation, or even—strikes the late stage?

Baal, the Demon of Destruction, remained silent for a moment before uttering a hoarse, low voice that sent a chill down the spines of all beings: "He will come—to slaughter us all—just as he slaughtered the Blood Kun. The Cyclops King might be able to stop him, but we—cannot."

"The Demon of Destruction is right!" Sea Emperor Bonis's voice suddenly rose, "Everyone! Haven't you seen clearly...? This is no longer a simple power struggle, this is a survival crisis!"

"Li Xijun, this new human saint, his growth trajectory completely defies common sense, and his path is unfathomable. He harbors undisguised killing intent towards us 'alien' emperors; Xue Kun is just the first!"

"Today he can slay the Blood Kun with three sword strikes. In ten or twenty years, when his cultivation advances further, perhaps even reaching the late stage of Martial Saint—who among us can stop him then? Our world, our people, what will they have to withstand a single sword strike from him!"

The God-King Otto spoke in a similarly cold voice: "This child has become a major threat, no, a harbinger of annihilation. In a one-on-one fight, no one can defeat him. Even if we join forces—if we cannot do so before he fully matures—"

After a moment of silence, the Spirit Crystal Clan member Solaken seconded the proposal: "Logical deduction complete. Based on the target's growth rate and threat level, the survival probability-maximizing solution is: immediately form a stable alliance, share intelligence and resources, and formulate a joint encirclement and suppression plan."

"Objective: Before Li Xijun advances to the late stage of Martial Saint, or before his strength undergoes another qualitative change, kill him at all costs."

The three lords of the Crimson Abyss exchanged glances. The Lord of Deceit, Xisorn, spoke with a sinister tone: "An alliance—okay. But how will the benefits be distributed? How will the risks be shared? After killing Li Xijun, how will the human race's legacy be divided? We can't be like Blood Kun, only thinking of taking it all for ourselves."

"The specific terms can be discussed in detail," God-King Otto said in a deep voice, "but the primary principle must be established: we must form a united front against Li Xijun and the human race."

"agree."

I second that.

"Logic passed."

"Hehe—then let's work together—first eliminate the biggest threat—"

An unprecedented sense of crisis overwhelmed the suspicion, hatred, and conflicts of interest that had accumulated between them over the years.

The terrifying strength and growth rate displayed by Li Xijun are like a sword of Damocles hanging over the heads of all non-human emperor-level beings.

A loose and dangerous alliance with the ultimate goal of killing Li Xijun quickly reached a fundamental consensus in the "Blood Abyss Mirror Realm," a place filled with fear and determination.

In the depths of the endless ocean within the human realm, lies the place where the Water Saint cultivates in seclusion.

The azure water element, like a gentle mother, surrounds a palace entirely made of transparent crystal.

At the heart of the palace, Alicia, the Water Saint, dressed in a long, light blue gown, gazes towards the Blood Kun mythological world.

"The Blood Kun—has truly perished."

Her face was filled with an incredible mix of emotions.

Several years ago, in the Blood God World, Li Xijun was just a "little guy" at the Great Vajra Realm. Although his talent was amazing and attracted her attention, he still needed the protection of a Martial Saint like her.

Blood Kun shattered his indestructible golden body with a single strike from a distance.

At that time, although she admired Li Xijun's potential, she also secretly sighed that the path to genius was full of twists and turns, and that it would take countless hardships to truly grow up, not to mention that taking revenge on an existence like Xue Kun was probably an unattainable thing.

however--

"How much time has passed?" Alicia calculated the time, her shock deepening. "Only a few years..."

'

"He went from the Great Vajra Realm to the mid-stage Martial Saint—surpassing me—"

"From being severely injured by the Blood Kun's attack to killing it with three sword strikes—"

"This can no longer be described as 'genius'—is this—the tide of the times, the destiny of heaven?"

She sensed the lingering, oppressive primordial Dao aura in the distance and sighed softly. Her sigh contained a mix of emotion, relief, and a vague worry about the future.

Li Xijun's rise was too rapid, so rapid that it disrupted the existing balance.

The fall of the Blood Kun is a great scourge removed from humanity, but it will inevitably arouse extreme vigilance and counterattack from other alien emperors.

The next part of the star field is unlikely to be peaceful.

The Wind Saint stroked his beard and repeated in a low voice, "Only three swords were used—Cause and Effect, Galaxy, and Primordial Beginning—interlocking and deadly at every step—clean and efficient, without the slightest hesitation."

The scene depicts himself joining forces with Yan Sheng to venture deep into the Blood Sea and engage in a fierce battle with the Blood Kun.

At that time, with the support of the Blood Sea and the origin of the world, the Blood Kun had amazing recovery ability and almost inexhaustible power.

Even when these two mid-stage Martial Saints joined forces, they were helpless against him.

Today, Li Xijun broke in alone, and from breaking through the barrier to killing, it only took a short while.

Under the three swords, Xue Kun's home ground was destroyed, and its desperate attack was crushed like dry leaves. In the end, its body and soul were destroyed, leaving not even a trace behind.

In comparison, the difference is obvious; the gap is enormous!

"His combat strength has probably far exceeded that of a typical mid-stage Martial Saint. The intent contained in that final sword strike even made this old man feel a slight tremor—it was the prototype of a higher level of cultivation."

"In this star field today, apart from the unfathomable Cyclops King who has not made a move for a long time—"

Feng Sheng slowly exhaled, his tone resolute, "Li Xijun... my Ren Zun's Abyss Saint is undisputed—the second in the Star Domain."

If this assessment were to spread, it would be enough to shake the entire star system once again.

Second in the star system!

This means that among the known and active top experts, Li Xijun has reached the pinnacle, second only to that legendary late-stage Martial Saint monster!

Human factions, Seven Star Base, Core Planet, Virtual Network—

News of a terrifying war breaking out in the Blood Kun Myth World and the suspected fall of a Martial Saint-level being spread like wildfire through various channels.

"My God! An extraordinary energy reaction has been detected in the direction of the Blood Kun Mythical World, causing chaos at the rule level! This is definitely a deathmatch at the Martial Saint level!"

"Breaking news! It appears that Lord Yuan Sheng Li Xijun has traveled alone to the Blood Kun Mythical World!"

"The energy reaction has subsided—one aura has completely vanished—that was—the aura of a fallen being, Blood Kun, it's very likely dead!"

"Only a few years? Lord Yuan Sheng is already able to slay the Blood Kun? That was a ferocious beast that even the Wind Saint and the Flame Saint couldn't defeat together!"

"The star field is about to change; perhaps... this is the true sign of the rise of our human race!"

"Quickly! Send this message back! Boost morale!"

Countless generals stationed on the frontiers, powerful cultivators in seclusion, and high-ranking members of various aristocratic families felt their blood boil and were filled with pride upon learning the truth.

Li Xijun, this legend of the human race, once again proved his strength in an unbelievable way, and also eliminated a major threat to the human race.

His image became even more towering, mysterious, and unattainable in the hearts of countless human warriors, like a true guardian deity and pioneer, illuminating the path of humanity's progress through the starry sea.

The starry sea is deep, and undercurrents are already stirring.

Li Xijun's three sword strikes slayed the Blood Kun, not only eliminating a formidable enemy but also completely disrupting the situation across the entire star field.

The old balance has been broken, and a new storm is quietly brewing amidst silent shocks and diverse schemes.

In the depths of the starry sea, the void stretches endlessly.

Li Xijun stepped out from the ripples, the golden blood and primordial Dao aura that had surged around him from absorbing the essence of the Blood Kun had all been contained within, returning to a state of perfect and flawless tranquility.

The clamor, shock, fear, and schemes in the distance were of no concern to him; instead, he focused on how to improve his own original dark laws.

The "Path of the Dharma Body" encompasses all things through the Great Luo Primordial Beginning, progressing rapidly. This time, after devouring the Blood Kun, its foundation has become even stronger.

However, the "original darkness of the universe" is also my foundation, and an indispensable link to achieving true immortality and even reaching the other shore.

Li Xijun's mind was as clear as a mirror, reflecting his own path.

"Therefore, if I wish to go into seclusion to study the Primal Darkness in depth and quickly improve my understanding of the Primal Darkness Laws, I must return to Dasheng."

This decision was not made on a whim.

The source material containing the ultimate secrets of the [Cosmic Darkness] was obtained from the Eastern Continent of the Great Sheng World.

The "will" of that world is also closely related to this supreme law of the end.

After Li Xijun thoroughly understood and comprehended everything about the [Cosmic Origin Darkness], he became even clearer that the core of the plan of the one who gathered all the extraordinary sources in the Great Sheng World was to deliberately place it in the [Cosmic Origin Darkness], a place in the Eastern Continent where gods could not be born and where it could not contain the source matter.

"His" game was originally about nurturing the gods of the Western Continent, or rather, the divine beings that carried the primordial essence, allowing them to grow and expand through struggle and fusion, until finally, at a certain critical point, the "God of Destiny," destined to obtain the [Cosmic Primal Darkness], would rule the entire planet.

"And that God of Destiny will then defeat the ancient pillars who thirst for the [Source Matter] on the planet, seizing the relevant Source Matter from within them as resources for himself or the [Cosmic Primordial Darkness]."

"Ultimately, 'He,' which lies dormant deep within the origin of the world and may have been born from the remnant will of a fallen ancient being or from the world's instincts, can truly 'awaken,' return, and even—complete some kind of ritual, successfully ascend to the realm of true immortals, or even take a step further, by using this perfect body that combines all primal substances, especially with 'Primordial Darkness' as its core, and its immense energy."

"Unfortunately, the [Cosmic Darkness] has fallen into my hands."

Li Xijun's lips curled into a cold smile. "Your game went awry from the very first move. Now, this 'unexpected' piece of yours will not only take away your most crucial 'general,' but also overturn your chessboard."

"On this journey, I will sweep away and seize these so-called 'pillars of the past,' along with the related source matter they guard or parasitize."

"It can both completely sever his means of resurrection and seize the fragments of laws contained within those source substances, propelling the [Cosmic Primordial Darkness] forward and deepening my understanding of these laws."

Having made up his mind, Li Xijun no longer hesitated.

As he began to communicate with his newborn, the Great Luo Imprint in his sea of ​​consciousness once again shone brightly.

This time, he felt as if he had passed through a layer of cold, sticky gel, and for the first time, he began to clearly feel a brief disruption in his sense of time and space.

The next moment, a familiar sense of filth and depravity came over him, and his Yang spirit clearly perceived a certain kind of madness that permeated the entire world.

Li Xijun was now almost completely certain of his previous predictions.

He stood high in the sky, atop the sea of ​​clouds, looking down at the eastern and western continents below. The two continents were now thriving, their human fortune as dazzling as a red dragon.

However, in contrast, the invisible barrier that shrouded the entire planet, which was intangible yet real and isolated the planet from the cold universe outside, was now covered with countless clearly visible, densely packed spiderweb-like cracks, as if it had been repeatedly struck by a tremendous force!
