    ## Chapter 428: Threat! Three Months Expired

    When Li Yuan fought against the Star Cicada Demigod, he was severely injured, both arms were even shattered.

    However, under the ‘All-Things Divine Body’ state, his source power was as strong as a Demigod, his vitality was extremely strong, and with the passage of time, his physical injuries quickly recovered.

    By the time he arrived at the Nine Sounds Tower, he had already recovered completely.

    Only the consumption of Source Power was enormous, and it would take a long time to refine the Heavenly Source Power and make it his own.

    Above the clouds of the Nine Sounds Tower, there was another building, the ‘Divine Sound Tower’. Under normal circumstances, only Gods were qualified to come here.

    Like Jiang Shan, although he possessed the combat power of a Demigod, he couldn’t come here either.

    However, the Nine Sounds True God specifically ordered that Li Yuan could come here, but he couldn’t bring anyone else.

    Outside the Divine Sound Tower.

    “Master Xu Yuan.” Chian Huan Demigod, dressed in a purple robe, greeted him with a slight smile.

    As a follower of the Nine Sounds True God, she knew from the Nine Sounds True God’s orders that Li Yuan held a very high position in the Nine Sounds True God’s heart, so she naturally dared not neglect him.

    “Chian Huan Demigod.” Li Yuan nodded slightly.

    “This way, please.” Chian Huan Demigod smiled: “I have already prepared most of the treasures you need.”

    “Hmm.” Li Yuan nodded.

    Just then.

    “Tower Master! Tower Master!” A stream of light cut through the clouds, and a burly man with broad shoulders and a thick waist came running.

    He was about to speak when he saw Li Yuan standing beside him, his eyes widened: “Xu Yuan? You are here?”

    Li Yuan couldn’t help but smile.

    “What do you call him? Call him Master Xu Yuan.” Chian Huan Demigod frowned.

    “Yes!” The burly man hurriedly responded, and then respectfully said: “Master Xu Yuan, I greet you.”

    “It’s alright.” Li Yuan said.

    “What’s the matter?” Chian Huan Demigod frowned. She knew that the man wouldn’t have come to disturb her suddenly if there wasn’t something important.

    The burly man glanced at Li Yuan before looking at Chian Huan Demigod, as if he was transmitting a message through voice transmission.

    Just a second later, Chian Huan Demigod’s face changed again, she waved her hand, and the burly man quickly retreated.

    “Master Xu Yuan, were you just assassinated by a God?” Chian Huan Demigod couldn’t help asking: “My subordinate said someone saw you personally blocking the attack of a Law Treasure… and revealing earth-shattering power.”

    “I was indeed assassinated just now.” Li Yuan nodded. Seeing that the news traveled so quickly, he wasn’t surprised.

    The Nine Sounds Tower could do such a large business, naturally, its news channels were incredible.

    “Heavenly Flight level, being able to block a Law Treasure with your own power is simply terrifying. Law Treasure can absolutely kill most Demigod Extreme Powerhouses.” Chian Huan Demigod sighed: “Many Demigod Extreme Powerhouses may not be able to withstand it.”

    After receiving the news, Chian Huan Demigod was indeed a little shocked.

    On the other hand, she knew that Li Yuan and the Nine Sounds True God should have a good relationship. The more outstanding Li Yuan was, the better it would be for the entire Nine Sounds Tower in the future.

    “You flatter me.”

    Li Yuan shook his head: “I only blocked part of the power, and then a Demigod came to annihilate the Law Treasure… otherwise, I would have died.”

    Li Yuan had a good understanding of himself. In the past few months after entering the Star Awakening Continent, although his gun technique had broken through, his foundation was at a huge disadvantage compared to other Demigod Extreme Powerhouses, which was insurmountable.

    In terms of direct combat strength, his current strength was almost equal to that of most Demigod Extreme Powerhouses.

    However, his greatest advantage was his spiritual will, which far surpassed that of Demigod Extreme Powerhouses.

    In today’s battle, if it had been another Demigod Extreme Powerhouse, they might have been directly killed by soul.

    “Haha, no need to be modest.”

    “A Demigod assassination, and using a Law Treasure… you are only Heavenly Flight level, you can be proud of yourself for surviving.” Chian Huan Demigod smiled: “If I hadn’t witnessed your feat of breaking through the Nine Sounds World, I wouldn’t believe this news.”

    Li Yuan smiled and stopped arguing.

    Soon, Chian Huan Demigod led Li Yuan into a quiet room in the Divine Sound Tower.

    “Master Xu Yuan.”

    “These are the treasures you asked me to buy. Most of them have been purchased, but a few are still not available.” Chian Huan Demigod said: “You can check them now.”

    Chian Huan Demigod waved her hand, handing Li Yuan several storage treasures.

    “Hmm.” Li Yuan didn’t dare to be careless, his mind moved, and he had already taken the several storage treasures into the Ancient God Palace.

    “Sister, check it carefully.” Li Yuan transmitted through voice transmission.

    Although Li Yuan knew the information about the treasures he needed, he had never actually seen too many treasures… When it came to appraising treasures, Gu You was naturally more skilled.

    After a while.

    “They are basically all right.” Gu You transmitted through voice transmission: “The treasures needed for the complete cultivation of the ‘All-Things Divine Body’ and the ‘Earth Star Vein True Explanation’ to the fourth stage have all been collected.”

    “But the treasures needed for the complete cultivation of the ‘Heaven and Earth River’ and the ‘Sky Wind Star Vein True Explanation’ to the fourth stage have only been collected for the most part. About 20% are still missing.”

    “The treasures needed for the ‘Myriad Shadows Void’ to be cultivated to the third stage are sufficient, and the treasures needed for the fourth stage are still about 30% missing. This is the specific list…” Gu You directly sent Li Yuan a list.

    The list marked the various missing treasures and the approximate prices of the purchased treasures in the God Realm.

    This made Li Yuan know exactly what was going on.

    “Okay.”

    “Chian Huan Demigod, these treasures are all what I need.” Li Yuan smiled: “Please give me a total price, I’ll take them all.”

    Previously, Li Yuan had already left a 3000 Fang Divine Crystal deposit.

    “Haha, good, Master Xu Yuan is indeed generous.” Chian Huan Demigod smiled: “I won’t ask for a high price, just give me another 1000 Fang Divine Crystal and that’s enough.”

    “4000 Fang Divine Crystal?” Li Yuan was stunned, shaking his head: “Chian Huan Demigod, just take the normal price, there’s no need to deliberately give me a discount. If you all do this, how can your Nine Sounds Tower stay open?”

    Li Yuan knew very well that a Nine-fold Star Technique, from the third stage to the extreme of the fourth stage, if various treasures were used to speed up the cultivation, it would cost anywhere from hundreds of Fang Divine Crystals to thousands of Fang Divine Crystals.

    For auxiliary cultivation Star Techniques like the ‘Earth Star Vein True Explanation’, fewer treasures were needed.

    And for the ‘All-Things Divine Body’, from the third stage to the extreme of the fourth stage, Li Yuan estimated it would cost nearly two thousand Fang Divine Crystal.

    These five Nine-fold Star Techniques.

    Even if three of them were missing some treasures… the total value far exceeded four thousand Fang Divine Crystal.

    “Alright.”

    “Chian Huan Demigod, just 5000 Fang Divine Crystal.” Li Yuan thought for a moment: “I’ll remember this favor.”

    “But you also have to pay for the cost of acquiring so many treasures… I can’t let you lose money, otherwise, I won’t want you to help me buy treasures next time.”

    “Hu!” Li Yuan flipped his palm, handed over a storage treasure containing two thousand Fang Divine Crystal, and it flew towards Chian Huan Demigod.

    Seeing how serious Li Yuan was, Chian Huan Demigod smiled helplessly and accepted the two thousand Fang Divine Crystal.

    The two chatted for a while before Li Yuan took his leave.

    Standing on the tower, Chian Huan Demigod watched Li Yuan enter the clouds, sighing in her heart: “It’s really hard to make this Master Xu Yuan owe me a favor.”

    As a Demigod Peak powerhouse, a thousand or two Fang Divine Crystals didn’t matter to her. If possible, she would even give them all to Li Yuan for free.

    But it was clear that Li Yuan didn’t want to owe her too much.

    “Heavenly Flight level can erupt with Demigod Extreme power.” Chian Huan Demigod thought to herself: “Could it be that Xu Yuan’s Law comprehension has reached the level of the eighth stage ‘Law Will’?”

    “No matter what.”

    “Our Yuan Nation has indeed produced an incredible genius.” Chian Huan Demigod thought to herself: “But, a Demigod risked his life to assassinate Li Yuan… I wonder which True God is behind the scenes.”

    “It must be the National Master’s enemy.”

    There was no doubt.

    Someone who could drive a powerful Demigod to assassinate with their life was definitely extraordinary…

    Above the Yuan Nation Capital, in the Imperial Palace.

    “Demigod Extreme power?”

    Jiang Yuan True God looked at the intelligence and battle images transmitted by the Shadow Demigod: “And, he is unaffected by the soul attack of a Demigod Peak?”

    “My junior brother is even more powerful than I expected.” Jiang Yuan True God thought to himself.

    What kind of existence was he? Looking at the entire Star Awakening Continent, no True God dared to say that he was stronger than him.

    Even the Heavenly Gods treated him with courtesy, almost certain that he was the most likely person to become a Heavenly God in the Star Awakening Continent.

    His vision was extremely high, and his ambition was even greater. He was not content with being confined to this world.

    “All power has its source.”

    “Xu Yuan is an Eight-Star Vein, but after all, he is Heavenly Flight level, his gun technique is only at the Demigod initial level… Divine Artifact? No! He can at most use a top-grade Demigod Artifact.” Jiang Yuan True God quickly analyzed: “Either he has a very special treasure protecting him, which allows him to survive against a Law Treasure.”

    “Or, his Star Technique is exceptionally powerful, stronger than normal Eight-Star Veins. He should have cultivated more than one Nine-fold Star Technique.”

    After a little deduction, Jiang Yuan True God didn’t delve into it further, instead, he was certain of some guesses in his heart.

    “Nine-fold Star Technique, it’s not easy to find a matching one, if he can cultivate several, then he is indeed a peerless genius from the Chaos Divine Court.” Jiang Yuan True God pondered.

    Then.

    A trace of killing intent flashed in Jiang Yuan True God’s eyes: “Hmph! He dares to come to my old nest to assassinate? He is indeed bold!”

    “Hu!”

    With a thought, Jiang Yuan True God left the temple, and within a few seconds, he arrived at the place where the battle erupted.

    A mess.

    A huge crater with a diameter of more than ten kilometers, the previously neat streets, the bustling shops, all turned into nothingness… if the formation that shrouded the capital city hadn’t suppressed it, the range of destruction would have been far greater than it was now.

    “Set!”

    “Reverse! Sense!” Jiang Yuan True God stood in the void. Even though there were many Royal Capital guards guarding him, no one could sense his presence.

    The two were as if they were in different spatial layers.

    “Hua la~” An invisible ripple enveloped the area, Jiang Yuan True God’s eyes became hazy, his vision completely changed… In his eyes, the surrounding scene was changing rapidly.

    As if time was going backward.

    Time Rewinding!

    Of course, only Jiang Yuan True God could see this scene, the Demigods beside him didn’t notice anything.

    This spell was extremely difficult to perform, either it required a True God with extremely high comprehension of space laws, or it required reaching the Heavenly God level to perform… and it could only rewind the recent past.

    The further back in time you wanted to rewind and investigate, the more difficult it would be.

    Like Jiang Yuan True God, he could only rewind a small area for a day or two at most… and this was without other powerhouses interfering with space.

    If there were powerhouses deliberately disrupting the spatial fluctuations, the rewind spell would be even more difficult.

    However.

    Li Yuan, Shadow Demigod, Star Cicada Demigod, their battle seemed fierce, but only caused a few ripples in space, naturally, it couldn’t affect Jiang Yuan True God’s performance of this spell.

    “Hua~ Hua~ Hua~” As the spell was cast, Jiang Yuan True God’s understanding of the cause and effect of this battle became clearer and clearer.

    This was much clearer than simply watching the images.

    “This Demigod should be Demigod Peak.” Jiang Yuan True God’s eyes were cold: “His specialized Law is…”

    “Hua la~”

    Ten fist-sized, fiery red crystal spheres appeared in front of Jiang Yuan True God. Then, the auras of these spheres constantly changed, finally stabilizing… If Li Yuan and Shadow Demigod were here, they would be shocked to discover that the soul aura emitted by the Demigod they encountered was exactly the same as the aura emitted by these ten spheres.

    Simulating Soul Aura!!

    Appearance can change, clothes can change, even combat weapons and moves can change… but soul aura is almost impossible to change.

    Jiang Yuan True God wanted to track down the person behind it, first, he had to find out who the assassin was.

    Not long after.

    A woman wearing a soft purple gauze dress like clouds appeared: “National Master.”

    “Nine Sounds, I need you to help me with something.” Jiang Yuan True God pointed at the ten crystal spheres and said: “Find out who the owner of this soul aura is! First check the Black Blade True God, Yue Chi True God… their eight True Gods’ subordinates, check them in order.”

    Jiang Yuan True God had many enemies, but hatred also had its level.

    Logically, without a life-or-death grudge, there was no reason to directly assassinate Li Yuan, a junior.

    “This is the assassin’s soul aura who assassinated Xu Yuan. The assassin is dead, isn’t he?” Nine Sounds Demigod was surprised.

    She already knew that Li Yuan had been assassinated.

    “Don’t ask too much, go and investigate. Use the intelligence network of the Star Awakening Ancient City, I will arrange for it, the sooner the better.” Jiang Yuan True God said.

    “Yes.” Nine Sounds Demigod nodded.

    She understood that Jiang Yuan True God valued Li Yuan very much. Now that Li Yuan had nearly died, Jiang Yuan True God was absolutely furious.

    East Sea, Black Blade Island.

    The highest point of the imperial city, inside the majestic palace, the Black Blade True God sat on the high throne.

    Around his throne, countless black mists were diffusing. If you looked closely, it wasn’t mist, but countless tiny black blades, densely packed, floating like mist.

    Suddenly.

    “Hmm?” Black Blade True God opened his eyes, a trace of seriousness flashed in his eyes: “Star Cicada’s soul lamp, extinguished?”

    His subordinate Demigods had all lit soul lamps. Unless in extremely special circumstances, the soul lamp being extinguished basically only had one possibility – death.

    “Star Cicada went to assassinate Xu Yuan. Judging by the time, he should have done it.” Black Blade True God had a hint of expectation: “I specifically gave him a space treasure, a Heavenly Flight level. He should be able to kill him.”

    “If he succeeds in killing him, it will be a major problem averted.”

    Thinking of this.

    Black Blade True God immediately sent a message, using the intelligence network of the East You Holy Land to find out the result of the assassination.

    Although the news of Li Yuan being assassinated spread in a very short time, it was very far from the East Region to the East Sea, and the analysis and transmission of intelligence naturally took time.

    After half a day.

    Black Blade True God received a message from the Holy Land intelligence network: “The peerless genius ‘Xu Yuan’ of the East Region Yuan Nation was assassinated by a Demigod. Li Yuan suspected of breaking out Demigod Extreme power, survived… The assassin died on the spot, the assassin’s identity has not yet been found.”

    Inside the palace.

    “Waste!” Black Blade True God was furious: “Absolutely a waste. A Demigod Peak, couldn’t even kill a Heavenly Flight!! A complete waste.”

    The roar echoed in the majestic temple, making the few Demigods in the temple tremble with fear.

    This news made Black Blade True God’s mood extremely bad.

    It was bad enough that the assassination failed.

    Li Yuan’s revealed strength made him even more annoyed.

    “According to the records of Xu Yuan in the Yuan Nation, he is not even forty years old? And he is already so powerful?” Black Blade True God felt troublesome, his eyes flickering: “If he cultivates normally, he will reach the Demigod Peak level in a thousand or two years.”

    “And he could be another Jiang Yuan.”

    “He can’t be killed.”

    “Such a monster, after experiencing this assassination, will definitely be heavily protected until he joins the Star Awakening Ancient City…” Black Blade True God shook his head, giving up the idea of assassinating him again.

    Too difficult.

    The first assassination was fine. If he assassinated again, the Star Awakening Ancient City would definitely not let it go.

    “Hmph!”

    “Jiang Yuan, this idiot, must be crazy now, trying to find out.” Black Blade True God sneered: “Go ahead and investigate, Star Cicada hasn’t made a move in nearly a thousand years, I don’t believe you can find out.”

    “Even if you really find out, what can you do about it?”

    Yes! Xu Yuan is a threat.

    “But as long as he doesn’t become a Heavenly God, he won’t threaten me.” Black Blade True God didn’t care at all.

    “Even if he eventually becomes a Heavenly God, I can just hide in the endless starry sky, you won’t be able to find me.”

    Time passed, and the news of this battle spread rapidly, even quickly spreading beyond the Yuan Nation, other major forces were also collecting this intelligence.

    After all, a Demigod Peak powerhouse had died because of this.

    The person who was assassinated was Xu Yuan, who had recently gained fame.

    The most important point was still the strength displayed by Li Yuan. It was extremely rare in the entire Star Awakening Continent at the Heavenly Flight level.

    “Heavenly Flight level, with such strength, and so young, his future is destined to be terrifying.”

    “No wonder he was assassinated, who would want him to grow up?”

    “If he grows up peacefully, he will be at least Demigod Peak, and even has a small chance of becoming a Heavenly God.” Many major forces paid real attention to Li Yuan, constantly collecting intelligence about him.

    Huanzhen Marquis Manor.

    “So powerful?” The palace-dressed woman, ‘Huanzhen Marquis’, was shocked, and then a sense of relief came over her: “Haha, it was good that I retreated back then. My son is still decisive and smart.”

    Sometimes, kneeling quickly is not necessarily a bad thing.

    Some intelligence about Li Yuan was even transmitted directly to the Star Awakening Ancient City, sparking a lot of debate.

    But these did not affect Li Yuan.

    Or rather, Jiang Yuan True God secretly protected him, preventing anyone with ulterior motives from contacting Li Yuan.

    Divine Fire Palace, the quiet room of the mansion.

    “Hu!”

    Li Yuan let out a long sigh, a smile appeared on his face: “Six days, I finally cultivated the ‘Myriad Shadows Void’ to the third stage limit.”

    “Indeed, the higher the Law comprehension, the faster the cultivation of the Star Technique.”

    On the first day back to the mansion from the Nine Sounds Tower, Li Yuan used some treasures he had already prepared to completely cleanse the third stage Star Marks in his Star Vein that belonged to the ‘Nine Shadow Split Body’.

    Then, he started cultivating the ‘Myriad Shadows Void’ from scratch.

    If it had been when Li Yuan first became Heavenly Flight level, it would have taken him several months to do this whole set… but now he was at a terrifyingly high level, his spiritual will was even stronger, and his perception of the Life Star was much clearer.

    In the end, it took him about eight days to cleanse the Star Technique Star Marks and cultivate the new Star Technique.

    At this point.

    The five Star Techniques that Li Yuan had cultivated were all Nine-fold Star Techniques.

    There were no more shortcomings.

    “Normal Seven-Star Vein powerhouses generally awaken two to three Nine-fold Star Veins, and can cultivate three Nine-fold Star Techniques.” Li Yuan thought to himself: “Among the three Star Techniques they cultivate, there is usually an auxiliary cultivation Star Technique, used to comprehend the mysteries of the Law faster… The rest can be used to cultivate combat Nine-fold Star Techniques.”

    Like Gu Ju Demigod, he only had one Nine-fold Star Technique specifically for combat, the ‘All-Things Divine Body’.

    And Eight-Star Vein powerhouses normally could awaken three or four Nine-fold Star Veins.

    “This is also the reason why domain-type Nine-fold Star Techniques and escape-type Nine-fold Star Techniques are rare.” Li Yuan thought to himself.

    Fewer people cultivating them, naturally, fewer powerful Star Techniques would be researched.

    Super powerhouses would choose to cultivate Divine Body-type Star Techniques for their first Nine-fold Star Technique, followed by auxiliary cultivation Star Techniques.

    For aspects like domains and escape techniques, they usually cultivate seven-fold Star Techniques combined with treasures, which are naturally inferior in power to Nine-fold Star Techniques.

    “Shua!”

    “Shua!” “Shua!” Li Yuan’s mind moved, and dozens of Shadow Clones silently appeared in the quiet room.

    Each Shadow Clone had a real aura, ordinary Demigods couldn’t tell the difference between real and fake.

    “The ‘Myriad Shadows Void’ is indeed much stronger than the ‘Nine Shadow Split Body’.” Li Yuan thought to himself: “In the future, if it can be cultivated to the fourth stage limit, the gap will be even greater.”

    “Now.”

    “I have mastered three combat Nine-fold Star Techniques. When I enter the Demigod level, I will be able to cultivate another Star Technique.” Li Yuan smiled: “At that time, I will be able to further narrow the basic gap with the Demigod.”

    The benefits of having a powerful Star Vein were gradually becoming apparent.

    “Continue cultivating.” Li Yuan closed his eyes gently, pondering the gun technique.

    There were only two days left before he went to the Star Awakening Ancient City.

    Two days passed in a flash.

    “Xu Yuan, come to the Divine Fire Palace Hall quickly, prepare to depart.” Li Yuan received a transmission from Sha Xi Demigod.

    “Finally going to the Star Awakening Ancient City?” Li Yuan got up, a trace of expectation in his eyes.

    The Star Awakening Ancient City was the cultivation holy land of this world, with Heavenly Gods guarding it generation after generation.

    Although it couldn’t compare to the top powers in the God Realm, it was definitely comparable to powerful forces like the Sky Snake Clan.

    Li Yuan naturally had high expectations.

    After giving Ren Qing a few instructions.

    “Swoosh!” Li Yuan flew into the sky, left the mansion, and quickly arrived at a palace in the center of the Divine Fire Palace.

    When he entered the hall, there were already nearly twenty figures gathered inside, some were Heavenly Flight level, and some were Demigods.

    Many of them were familiar to Li Yuan, like Jiang Shan, Jiang Xuan, Bai Li Teng, and others were all there.

    But most of the others, Li Yuan didn’t know.

    “Xu Yuan is here.”

    “He is Xu Yuan? He doesn’t look special.” Many people were secretly observing Xu Yuan. Even if they hadn’t seen Li Yuan before, they had heard many rumors in the past few months.

    Naturally, a group of people automatically parted ways, assuming that Li Yuan should stand at the front.

    “Xu Yuan, come over here.” Jiang Shan, standing at the front, smiled.

    “Hmm.” Li Yuan didn’t hesitate. As the first on the Heavenly Flight List, he had the right to do so.

    “Brother Xu.” Jiang Xuan was quite excited.

    As time passed, people like Wu Bei Hong arrived one after another. Finally, when the number of people in the hall reached twenty-five,

    “Buzz~” An invisible ripple swept past, Sha Xi Demigod had already appeared at the highest point of the hall.

    He scanned everyone in the hall with his eyes, pausing slightly on Li Yuan before saying:

    “Everyone is here, let’s go!”
