    ## Chapter 427: Survival

    In the Stellaluna Divine Scheme.

    If Li Yuan had a Divine Puppet close at hand, or Divine Guards protecting him, then the assassin would have abandoned the attempt due to the strength of the guards, or directly detonated themselves in a desperate gambit.

    If Li Yuan was alone, they would have tried to kill him with two secret treasures. If the secret treasure attack failed, they would have tried to kill him with their own strength.

    However!

    The Stellaluna Divine being missed two points. First, Li Yuan’s strength was far stronger than they imagined.

    Second, the Jiang Yuan Divine being, in addition to giving Li Yuan the Divine Puppet, had also secretly arranged for an extremely powerful Divine being, the ‘Magic Shadow Divine being’ to secretly protect Li Yuan, as a double protection.

    Previously, the Magic Shadow Divine being had been hiding in the shadows. The Stellaluna Divine being hadn’t even noticed it.

    “A Heavenly Flight warrior, yet you can unleash such terrifying strength. What an astonishingly gifted genius. No wonder such a powerful Divine being was secretly protecting you. No wonder the King wanted to kill you. If he didn’t kill you, he would be afraid to sleep soundly.”

    “No matter what, I’ve done my best.”

    “I hope this desperate attack can kill Xu Yuan.”

    “I hope the Black Blade Divine being can protect my family.” In the moment of self-detonation, feeling the loss of control over his body, the powerful soul of a Divine being caused the Stellaluna Divine being to pause for a moment. In the final moments of his life, he still had many thoughts flashing through his mind.

    Unfortunately, he was destined not to see the outcome.

    …“Boom!” That powerful soul attack directly invaded Li Yuan’s Spiritual Realm.

    This soul fluctuation, like a sharp cone, rammed towards the core of Li Yuan’s soul with unparalleled force.

    The Stellaluna Divine being knew that Li Yuan had entered the Nine Sounds Realm and that his soul will was stronger than most demigods.

    But based on the fact that Li Yuan was just a Heavenly Flight warrior, and that he had spent a very long time entering the Nine Sounds Realm… the Stellaluna Divine being judged that Li Yuan’s soul will should only be equivalent to the threshold of a Divine being.

    Normally, the Stellaluna Divine being’s judgment was correct.

    But Li Yuan had been cultivating the ‘Heart Illusion Six Realms’ for the past two months. Although he had not yet reached the first realm’s perfection, his will had already made some progress, reaching level 55.

    In terms of the strength of his will, Li Yuan was already approaching many peak Divine being strongmen.

    Coupled with his soul that was almost a Divine being’s, Li Yuan’s soul will was comparable to that of a normal Divine being.

    Moreover.

    Li Yuan also had the ‘Thousand Heart Lotus Platform’ guarding his soul. This was a top-grade Divine Artifact, prepared for Li Yuan’s Heavenly Flight demigod stage by the Ancient Torch Divine being.

    “A soul attack?”

    “A peak Divine being’s soul attack, wanting to shake me? What a joke.” Li Yuan instantly sensed it.

    It can be said that when facing Divine being strongmen, what Li Yuan feared the least was their use of soul attacks.

    “Whoosh!”

    Inside Li Yuan’s Spiritual Realm, the Thousand Heart Lotus Platform operated, layer upon layer of lotus leaves turning, easily weakening over 70% of the power of this soul attack.

    The remaining part of the power, impacting Li Yuan’s spiritual will, although it caused his soul to tremble slightly, was still blocked.

    It can be said that most peak Divine being’s soul attacks, let alone killing Li Yuan, would be very difficult even to influence him.

    But for Li Yuan, the biggest impact was not the soul attack, but—the self-detonation!

    A Divine being self-detonation, the power unleashed has little to do with their understanding of the laws, only the remaining Source Power in their body. It is a moment where they completely unleash the Source Power they have cultivated throughout their lives.

    Infinite power!

    It seems slow, but the moment Li Yuan blocked the soul attack, the overwhelming torrent of energy was already impacting in all directions.

    The first to be hit was the Magic Shadow Divine being.

    “Self-detonation?”

    “Bad! I can withstand it, but Xu Yuan is already seriously injured. Even the aftershocks will probably be unbearable.” The Magic Shadow Divine being had a thought in his mind. His mission was to protect Xu Yuan.

    The Divine sword in his hand transformed, and he still fiercely slashed towards the torrent of fire energy. The two instantly engaged in a terrifying collision, annihilating a large amount of the impact’s power.

    “Rumble!”

    Following that, the Magic Shadow Divine being’s body rapidly enlarged, like a giant. A large amount of black mist crazily dispersed in all directions, instantly engulfing a vast area, including Li Yuan.

    Attempting to protect Li Yuan.

    The self-detonation impact was too fast. In a hurry, he first used his weapon to expend as much power as possible, then deployed a large-scale domain, the only method the Magic Shadow Divine being could think of to protect Li Yuan.

    “Rumble!”

    But the impact of a peak Divine being self-detonation was terrifying. Although the Magic Shadow Divine being was only hit in one direction, and he was doing his utmost to resist,

    Facing the terrifying torrent of fire, layer after layer of black mist instantly began to dissipate and dissolve.

    The overwhelming torrent of fire finally swept in all directions, also impacting Li Yuan.

    “Divine Puppet.”

    “Block it for me.”

    Li Yuan gritted his teeth. You see, he had been enduring the attack of the law secret treasure the whole time, and hadn’t been able to transfer it into the Divine Palace. Now this impact was coming too fast.

    Fortunately! Just like the Stellaluna Divine being moved to rush out the moment they attacked, Li Yuan had also been trying his best to move his Divine Puppet outside… at the moment the Stellaluna Divine being self-detonated.

    The Divine Puppet finally appeared.

    “Roar!”

    The giant Divine Puppet, resembling a spider, instantly spread its eight legs. Two legs stood on the ground, like a mountain, blocking in front of Li Yuan.

    The other six legs instantly slashed out a series of dazzling sword lights, desperately resisting the fire impact.

    “Boom!”

    The terrifying shock wave finally arrived, first hitting the Divine Puppet’s sword light, then, after being weakened layer by layer, it hit the giant body of the Divine Puppet again.

    The self-detonation power of the Stellaluna Divine being was almost at the Divine being’s limit. Even after being weakened layer by layer, it was still close to the power of a peak Divine being.

    “Boom!”

    Although the Divine Puppet was doing its best to resist, it still struggled to stand. Its huge body flew backwards in a messy way, slamming into Li Yuan’s body.

    “Boom!”

    Li Yuan’s body trembled violently from the impact of the Divine Puppet. The small part of his body that had just recovered was cracked again.

    Blood and water flowed, bones broke, and a lot of blood flowed from his ears, nose, and mouth, extremely frightening.

    Fortunately.

    The Divine Puppet had weakened the vast majority of the self-detonation impact, leaving only a small part of the remaining power.

    Li Yuan, with difficulty, blocked the last of the shockwave’s aftermath.

    He and the Divine Puppet finally stood firmly.

    “So terrifying.”

    “I’m alive?” Li Yuan felt a surge of excitement. After such a terrifying assassination, he survived.

    If his strength had been weaker.

    If the Divine Puppet had come out of the storage treasure a little later.

    If the mysterious Divine being hadn’t arrived in time… In short, if any one of these factors had been slightly different, he would have perished today.

    “Rumble!”

    The fire impact in other directions was still being transmitted to all sides, causing the earth to shake violently, causing massive buildings to collapse.

    The extremely tough rocks on the ground were also cracked by the shockwave. Countless fragments of stone splashed around.

    An incredibly tragic scene.

    Normally.

    The self-detonation of a peak Divine being would be enough to engulf a range of thousands of kilometers.

    However, this is the King’s Capital of the Yuan Kingdom, and countless Source Power formations are spread throughout every area. Any building has array restrictions, which can greatly weaken the aftershocks of the energy impact.

    At the same time.

    The capital’s void formation has been completely activated. Streaks of crimson light descended, surging from all directions to weaken the aftershocks of the self-detonation impact.

    In the end, the self-detonation only affected a range of ten kilometers before gradually restoring peace.

    Whew!

    Li Yuan thought to himself, storing the giant Divine Puppet in front of him back into the storage treasure.

    Divine Puppets are not easy to refine and are extremely valuable. Many civilizations have relied on them to survive for millions of years. This object has been instrumental in their survival.

    To casually display such a treasure?

    Such a valuable treasure would easily attract the greed of some Divine beings.

    Moreover, such a trump card.

    If it is always in plain sight, it loses its effectiveness as a trump card.

    If the enemy wants to make a move, they can easily plan a countermeasure.

    The unknown is the most terrifying.

    “Thank you, senior, for saving me.” Li Yuan bowed and thanked the Divine being as soon as his body recovered slightly. Without this Divine being’s rescue, he would have died.

    Li Yuan’s heart was naturally filled with gratitude.

    “It wasn’t me who saved you.”

    “You saved yourself.” The Magic Shadow Divine being’s voice was hoarse: “A Heavenly Flight warrior… able to unleash the power of a demigod’s limit. I have never heard of such a thing.”

    The Magic Shadow Divine being was quite astonished by the strength Li Yuan had displayed.

    “Also, if you really want to thank someone, thank the King.” The Magic Shadow Divine being said in a low voice: “I am protecting you on the King’s orders. Because I didn’t want to tell you the truth beforehand, lest you become complacent, I haven’t shown myself before…

    “Therefore, I was further away from you, and I couldn’t arrive instantly when I saved you.” The Magic Shadow Divine being explained patiently: “However, the moment I showed myself, the assassin knew they didn’t have time. If they had continued to delay, the Source Power formation would have descended, and they probably wouldn’t even have been able to self-detonate. They would have been captured alive.”

    Li Yuan nodded slightly. There is no absolute guarantee with any protective measure.

    It’s all about reacting to each situation.

    “I will report to the King and find out as soon as possible who is behind this assassin. I think he will give you an explanation, and maybe even compensation. After all, you were attacked, and it’s highly likely related to your identity.” The Magic Shadow Divine being said: “Now I must leave.”

    Whew!

    The Magic Shadow Divine being’s figure became increasingly blurred, like flowing water, and quickly disappeared from Li Yuan’s senses.

    “Leaving? He probably hasn’t actually left. He’s probably hiding again?”

    “But, this Divine being’s hiding skills, even Sister Gu You couldn’t detect him?” Li Yuan sighed, his eyes scanning in all directions.

    Immediately, Li Yuan turned into a stream of light and quickly flew into the clouds towards the Nine Sounds Building.

    For a long time.

    Those watching the battle from all directions on this street finally began to whisper to each other. Such a great battle was a rare sight for many Heavenly Flight warriors and even Divine beings.

    Some bystanders were even killed by the self-detonation shockwave.

    “So strong?”

    “In the end, it seemed to be a fierce battle between two Divine beings, but Xu Yuan, a Heavenly Flight warrior, was able to survive such a terrifying self-detonation shockwave?”

    “Can Heavenly Flight warriors be this strong? Able to withstand the attack of a law secret treasure without dying?” Many of those watching recognized Xu Yuan, and they all had their own scales to weigh him on.

    Not long after.

    The news of Li Yuan being assassinated by a Divine being, and his suspected display of a demigod’s limit strength, spread throughout the Yuan King’s Capital at an astonishing speed.
