High Martial Arts Era

Chapter 540 The Secret of the Source Seed
In the vast universe, the source of all operations is the laws of space. The origin of the laws of space is even more majestic and vast, beyond the reach of life.

The seven basic laws are all derived from the operation of the laws of space in the heaven and earth, and are extremely important.

In the past, Li Yuan had a very high talent in the two basic laws of earth and wind. As for the five basic laws of gold, wood, fire, water, and thunder? Although he had some understanding of them, his level of understanding was not high, and he was only at the seventh level so far.

Li Yuan had never thought about focusing his energy on these five basic laws. After all, life was limited.

Unless they reach a bottleneck, strong people will always strive to achieve perfection in a certain point.

"But once the source force space was integrated into the source seed." Li Yuan was shocked: "My perception of the seven laws has increased significantly."

Li Yuan understood it after a little bit of perception.

Now, my talents in gold, wood, fire, water and thunder are probably comparable to my previous talents in the two major laws of wind and earth.

As for the two great talents of wind and earth? That's even more terrifying.

"Great!"

"When I return to my home universe and comprehend the seven laws, my speed of comprehension will probably be much faster than it is now." Li Yuan sighed in his heart.

suddenly.

Buzz~ An invisible wave swept past, and a large face formed on one wall of the hall. It spoke directly: "Seven-star Demigod, congratulations, you have successfully merged the source seed."

"Thank you, Tree Spirit." Li Yuan thanked, and then said worriedly: "I'm afraid your essence has been consumed greatly."

During these eight years, Li Yuan was very clear about the contributions made by the World Tree.

Moreover, with his extremely high understanding of the laws of space, Li Yuan could sense a hint of decadence from the World Tree.

"It doesn't matter."

"It only consumed about 50% of my original essence. Give me about 10,000 years to recover." The tree spirit said, "The original essence is only a very small part of my body's energy."

"Will it affect your lifespan?" Li Yuan couldn't help but ask.

Just like when a practitioner’s divine power is exhausted, he can just start practicing again.

The original essence is like the 'life essence' of a practitioner. Let alone 50%, even consuming 10% will have a great impact, and may even affect one's own understanding and lifespan.

“Haha, there are some effects, but it’s okay.” The tree spirit said calmly: “Even if I can’t breed source seeds, I can only last for a million years at most.”

"If it doesn't work."

"What's the difference between me living another 800,000 years and living another million years?" The tree spirit said calmly.

Li Yuan felt heavy in his heart.

As the spirit of the world tree, the tree spirit has its own independent consciousness. In Li Yuan's subconscious mind, he regards the other party as a real life.

This favor is too great.

"Seven-Star Demigod, let me tell you in detail about the source seed." said the tree spirit.

"Okay." Li Yuan listened carefully.

"The Source Seed is a treasure that the Life God King got by chance from a relic of the Eternal Realm in the past." The tree spirit said, "It is the 'Life Treasure'. With the help of the Source Seed, the Life God King was able to rise so quickly and even eventually open up the 'Path of Life'."

Li Yuan was secretly shocked. It turned out that the source seed also came from the ruins of the Eternal Realm.

“My five essential essences can only help it awaken initially and allow you to refine it initially.” said the tree spirit.

"Preliminary refining? That means I haven't really refined it yet?" Li Yuan was surprised.

"Haha."

"Really refined?" Shu Ling sighed, "The Life God King back then was probably as powerful as many God Emperors, but he never completely refined it, let alone you?"

"The source seed is only temporarily integrated into your body."

"If you die, the source seed will return to its original state and be born again from your body." The tree spirit said: "Back then, when the God King of Life passed away, this source seed condensed again from its origin."

"As for how to completely refine the source seed? You have to slowly explore it yourself."

Li Yuan nodded slightly, and also felt that this source was really powerful.

It is worthy of being left in the ruins of the Eternal Realm.

The tree spirit continued, "According to the experience of the Life God King, as your life level changes, the power of the source seed will become stronger and stronger."

“In the demigod realm, your comprehension of the laws will make your comprehension of the seven basic laws extremely strong.

"In the Void God Realm, the Nine Lotus Divine Fire will increase your mana recovery speed and space..."

"True God Realm, God's Heart Inner Armor..."

"God Realm, Cosmic Lotus..."

……

The tree spirit explained to Li Yuan the functions of the 'source seeds' one by one, which opened Li Yuan's eyes and shocked him.

"In short, the source seed may not look like some extremely powerful magic weapon that can quickly improve your combat effectiveness." The tree spirit said, "but it is an extremely powerful auxiliary treasure. As your strength increases, it can help you control some terrible methods, which are more terrible than those perfect astrology... The Life God King once suspected that this might be the 'Guardian Treasure' left by the Eternal Realm to the younger generation."

Li Yuan was speechless.

Eternal Realm? Too far away.

My vision is high enough, but the two people who I have come into contact with who are suspected to be in the eternal realm are the God King of Life and the God Emperor of Heart and Dream.

And they are all only indirect contacts.

“Of course, the power of the source seed varies from person to person. What I said is only the experience of the God of Life. You have a perfect ten-star vein, and you have entered the "Cosmic Divine Body" at the semi-god level. Your foundation is stronger than that of the God of Life.” The tree spirit said: “In your hands, the power of the source seed may surpass that of the God of Life.”

"Back then, the God King of Life was able to force the Immortal Ancestor to retreat because he relied on the power of the Source Seed to isolate the entire universe, causing the 'universe collapse' and forcing the Immortal Ancestor to retreat." The tree spirit sighed.

"The universe is collapsing?" Li Yuan was puzzled.

"What is the universe?" Li Yuan had never heard of it.

"A large number of star regions were created from a huge source, and this is the universe." The tree spirit said, "What you call the 'divine domain' is a universe."

“The universe is vast.”

"A place where immortal masters gather, like the Immortal Ancestor, might call itself the 'Immortal Realm', and the witch system might call itself the 'Witch Realm'." The tree spirit said, "There are many more."

"I understand." Li Yuan nodded.

It turns out that a vast divine domain, or a world like the heaven and earth, are collectively called the universe.

"Galaxy, star field, universe." Li Yuan thought to himself, "I don't know how many universes there are in this vast universe."

The universe is so vast.

Like in the divine realm of Li Yuan’s hometown, it is normal for a divine court to have a territory spanning tens or even hundreds of billions of light years...but the dark areas of the universe outside the divine realm are even more vast.

Before coming to this world, Li Yuan had never heard of other universes.

It can be seen how far apart different universes are.

"Tree spirit, can I go out?" Li Yuan asked.

This time, during the Emperor Origin Realm mission, he not only succeeded in perfecting the Ten Star Veins, but also obtained the inheritance of the God of Life.

For Li Yuan, it was perfect enough.

As long as he returns to his hometown, he can quickly become a virtual god, and then with a little adaptation he can become a true god...but it will take some time for Li Yuan to become a celestial god.

"Okay, are you ready to return home?" asked the tree spirit.

"Yes." Li Yuan nodded.

"Hmm." The tree spirit hesitated and said, "Right now, the Pantheon is fighting the Dao Court army. I still hope that you can help the Pantheon before returning home."

"The Pantheon and the Dao Court are at war?" Li Yuan was shocked.

"Ok!"

"When you go to see Palace Master Si Wu and the others, you will learn the details." The tree spirit said, "I will let you out now."

"Okay." Li Yuan nodded, feeling a little anxious.

……

Whoosh!
As soon as Li Yuan flew out of the World Tree, a figure emitting a powerful and domineering aura flew over from a distance.

It was the Lord of the Demon Sea Palace.

He had rushed back from the frontline after receiving a message from the World Tree. "Master of the Demon Sea Palace." Li Yuanlian flew forward to greet him.

"Brother Qixing." The Lord of the Demon Sea Palace spoke in a loud voice, with a hint of joy on his face: "You finally came out of seclusion, that's great, but have you completed the inheritance of the God of Life?"

As the elder hall master, the Demon Sea Hall Master knows many secrets.

"finished."

"I just found out about the outbreak of the war. The Holy Tree Spirit didn't tell me before." Li Yuan asked seriously, "What's the situation?"

"The Holy Tree Spirit is probably afraid that you will be distracted, and it is useless to tell you before." The Lord of the Demon Sea said solemnly: "The current battle situation is indeed very serious. More than 60 of our life springs have been completely destroyed."

"The Fountain of Life was completely destroyed?" Li Yuan was shocked.

The foundation of the Pantheon is the Fountain of Life.

Once destroyed, it means that life can no longer reproduce.

What Daoting is doing is to dig out the roots.

"Originally in the Wanquan Void, the Dao Court had at most a hundred celestial beings forming a formation." The Lord of the Demon Sea Palace said, "And my Pantheon can also have a hundred true gods forming a formation, and then be led by us, the elder palace masters, and we are completely capable of suppressing them."

"Especially the Fifth Palace Master. If he were to command the Hundred Gods Formation, his strength would be close to that of a god."

Li Yuan couldn't help but nodded.

True gods can also form formations, but it is difficult for them to operate as smoothly as the formations formed by immortals.

However, the realm of the 'Elder Palace Master' of the Pantheon is generally higher than that of the Daoting Tianjun, and can make up for the gap in the formation.

Plus the true God’s vitality is even stronger.

“But five years ago, the origin of the World Tree weakened, causing the power of the Wanquan Void Origin to be damaged… Dao Court was able to form a complete Nine Heavens Star Formation, led by the top Heavenly Monarch, and was able to rival the formation led by the Fifth Chief Palace Master.” The Lord of the Demon Sea sighed, “There are nine such formations in Dao Court.”

"In terms of the number of formations, they have an absolute advantage."

"We are losing ground one after another." The Lord of the Demon Sea Palace sighed.

Li Yuan's heart sank when he heard this.

in this case.

Is the current dire situation of the Pantheon due to the fact that he took over the 'Source Seed'?

"Our only advantage is that we can quickly shuttle between different life spring realms, which is much faster than the warships' void movement. The Dao Court army dares not to split up, and can only attack the life spring realms one by one slowly." The Lord of the Demon Sea continued to introduce.

"The Dao Court army doesn't dare to attack the Life God Realm."

"All they can do is destroy the Tree of Life in every Fountain of Life Realm and then blast the entire world apart... Naturally, this will take a lot of time."

"Five years."

“We have only completely destroyed more than 60 life springs.” The Lord of the Demon Sea Palace said calmly: “We are also trying our best to delay. Although nearly a thousand true gods died in the battle, we also killed hundreds of celestial immortals.”

Time passes as both sides communicate.

Li Yuan became more and more familiar with the war situation between the Pantheon and the Dao Court, and he also basically knew about the damaged Fountain of Life and the true gods who died in the battle.

But the more he understood, the more uncomfortable Li Yuan felt.

Li Yuan had fought in the Wanquan Void for a hundred years, stationed in many life spring realms, and made many good friends as true gods.

But this war has continued to this day.

Among the more than sixty life springs that had been destroyed, more than ten were ones that Li Yuan had visited.

Among the nearly one thousand true gods who died, dozens were known to Li Yuan.

For example, the two brothers Yiming and Yihong, who had a good relationship at the time, both died in the battle.

In five years, more than sixty life springs were lost!
If this rate continues, the entire Pantheon's fountain of life will be completely destroyed in just a few hundred years.

"Seven Star Brothers."

“Don’t blame yourself for all this.” The Lord of the Demon Sea Palace said solemnly: “As long as you accept the inheritance of the Life God King, all this will naturally happen. It’s not all because of you.”

"Besides."

"You have inherited the legacy of the God of Life. You are the hope of my Pantheon."

"Over the long years, how many true gods have died in battle?"

"Even if you don't die in battle, you will die of old age sooner or later." The Lord of the Demon Sea Palace said calmly: "It is the honor of those who died in battle to kill some immortals before dying."

To the strong ones in the Pantheon.

Death is not terrible.

They even take it as an honor to die in battle.

“Now that you have succeeded, let alone the fact that we have lost nearly a thousand True Gods in this battle, even if all the True Gods of this generation die, it is still worth it.” The Lord of the Demon Sea said with emotion: “In fact, all of us Elder Lords know that you are a demigod.”

"You are so strong in the Demigod realm."

“Once he becomes a virtual god, or even a true god... I’m afraid even the Daoist Ancestor of Dao Court will not be able to defeat him.” There was a gleam in the eyes of the Lord of the Demon Sea.

That is the ray of hope.

Li Yuan forced a smile, but he felt pressure and self-blame in his heart.

It seems.

Except for the tree spirit and the fifth chief hall master, even the elder hall masters did not know that they came from another universe, nor did they know that they were about to leave.

this moment.

Facing the gaze of the Lord of the Demon Sea Palace, Li Yuan didn't dare to look him in the eye.

Li Yuan didn’t know what would happen once the true gods in the Pantheon knew the truth?

I'm afraid I'll be completely desperate.

At this moment, Li Yuan had only one thought in his mind - to do his best to win this battle.

"Master of the Demon Sea Palace."

"Take me to Huochen Life Spring Realm." Li Yuan said, "I want to meet the Fifth Chief Hall Master and join the battle."

Now, the Dao Court army is gathering at the Huochen Life Spring Realm.

"Okay!" The Lord of the Demon Sea Palace nodded.

Whoosh!Whoosh!
The two of them quickly passed through the "space channel" of the Life Spring Realm and rushed to the Huochen Life Spring Realm.

……

The Huochen Life Spring Realm, this once vast world, most of its areas have been torn apart, and many areas have even turned into dust.

Only the most core 'Fountain of Life' and the Tree of Life remain standing.

An extremely large city is guarded by the Fountain of Life and the Tree of Life. Many true gods gather in the city, guarding a large number of defensive formations.

Except for a few that were evacuated, most of the life in this world of the fountain of life has become extinct.

"Boom~"

The overwhelming Taoist army, with countless True Immortals and Celestial Immortals, are forming large-scale formations with overwhelming power. They launch long-range attacks again and again, bombarding the distant 'Huochen City'.

Constantly consuming the power of the Tree of Life.

Among them, nine huge formations are particularly large and dazzling.

"Si Wu, stop being a coward."

"Come out and fight if you can."

"You don't dare to come out and fight? Then I will kill another batch. Don't worry, I have captured enough. Just kill them in batches." A deafening voice came from one of the huge star-like formations, echoing between heaven and earth.

call!
I saw this huge star moving, and in an instant, hundreds of billions of figures appeared in the void. They were all bound and had expressions of panic on their faces. Most of them were first- and second-level life forms.

Puff! Puff! Puff!
Just a streak of light was emitted from the star formation, which wiped out hundreds of billions of people and turned them into ashes.

This scene made nearly ten thousand True Gods in "Huochen City" furious, but they could do nothing about it.
