High-Level Martial Era - Chapter 1322

Chapter 1322: Chapter 604: Causality Heart Crystal

Beichen Star, in an unremarkable wasteland.

A massive corpse, resembling a giant snake, over ten kilometers long, crashed down with a boom. Its body surface bore countless cracks, and it immediately collapsed, turning into countless streams of energy particles.

Whew!

A gray-robed youth emerged from the snake’s remains, his eyes indifferent, slightly furrowing his brow: “A king? Just the combat strength of a Divine Monarch, and the treasures accumulated are only this much.”

He was very dissatisfied.

“Moreover, it’s much as the intelligence said.”

“Slaying three so-called overlords and then this king, none of them were willing to submit, preferring to die rather than surrender?” The gray-robed youth shook his head silently: “These indigenous beings of Beichen Star, despite having average soul will, are so stubborn?”

Over the long ages, most treasures born on the surface of Beichen Star have been collected by the indigenous life forms.

“It appears that understanding the intelligence on Beichen Star’s ‘indigenous beings’ is not going to be easy.” The gray-robed youth thought to himself.

He prepared numerous plans, one of which involved quickly obtaining the intelligence of most indigenous life forms’ locations, to facilitate sequential hunting.

Only in this way can treasures be accumulated most efficiently.

Eventually, when there’s an opportunity, he will venture into various ‘treasure spaces’ to seize treasures.

Unexpectedly, he failed.

“Forget it!”

“Let’s first complete another task.” The gray-robed youth flipped his palm, revealing a dark purple crystal, which emitted a hazy glow, quite mysterious.

Inside the crystal, there was an enchanting ‘blood-red thread,’ as if it were an extremely precious object that would instinctively cause the common Heavenly Gods to tremble.

“Causality Heart Crystal?”

“Just this thing is worth a low-grade God King weapon?” The gray-robed youth thought.

Crack~

Without hesitation, he crushed it.

The dark purple crystal shattered instantly, followed by the internal blood-red thread flying out, blending into the void.

The next instant, the gray-robed youth faintly sensed a subtle connection forming between him and the other end on this boundless land… it’s the causality line.

“No wonder this is the creation of someone who established the ‘Fate Path,’ a treasure painstakingly refined.” The gray-robed youth marveled in his heart: “Beichen Star is the residence of the Divine Emperor; can this causality heart crystal break the restrictions?”

Of course, the gray-robed youth also understood that this was because Beichen Star had long been abandoned, with its internal formations heavily damaged.

At its peak time, even the causality heart crystal might have been ineffectual.

“However.”

“It’s really far.”

“According to my vague perception, getting there might take more than two years.” The gray-robed youth felt somewhat helpless: “It seems we’ve been nearly teleported to opposite ends of the star.”

No choice!

Within Beichen Star, space is entirely suppressed, and even someone as powerful as him can only fly at a speed of just over 100,000 kilometers per second.

“But, time waits for no one.”

“This guy named ‘Li Yuan,’ who reached such power after merely hundreds of years of cultivation, must have a talent not inferior to mine. If delayed, he might grow stronger, making him harder to kill.”

“Moreover, the causality heart crystal is only effective for about 100,000 years.” The gray-robed youth made a decision: “I’ll deal with him first.”

“Along the way, if there are other opportunities, I’ll seize treasures as well.”

“Hopefully, I can encounter transmission arrays, which might save time.”

Swish!

The gray-robed youth turned into a stream of light, quickly heading toward Li Yuan along the causality line.

…

Qian Yu Divine Monarch used the causality heart crystal, but Li Yuan was completely unaware, after all, it was a God King-level treasure.

It was specially refined by God Kings for sensing assassinations; if a Divine Monarch like him sensed it, it would be a joke.

On the boundless land.

Li Yuan had been aimlessly wandering, occasionally exchanging with other Divine Monarchs from the Chaos Divine Court.

However, all of them had descended not long ago.

For now, none had found any transmission arrays, and naturally, no one could determine their own position.

The mountain and river landscapes, along with transmission array locations on Beichen Star, were in continuous change, so the past ‘map intelligence’ was not very useful.

As time passed, more than ten days flew by in a blink.

Li Yuan hadn’t yet found a ‘transmission array,’ but instead found quite a few indigenous life forms.

In a scorching lava lake.

“Swish!”

A dazzling spear light flashed, striking a massive figure burning with intense flames, sending it flying again, crashing heavily back into the lava lake.

Swish, swish, swish~ Numerous starlights, like ropes, entwined and firmly bound the figure.

“Submit, or die!” Li Yuan looked down upon the figure: “I will spare your life if you tell me the intelligence you know.”

“Dream on!”

“Outsider, I will never submit; Beichen life forms only fall in battle.” The massive fiery figure struggled fiercely, roaring in anger.

Only, his rage seemed quite laughable in front of Li Yuan.

“Let’s try again.” Li Yuan summoned the Heart Realm, making the figure’s consciousness sink.

After a long while.

“What a pity.” Li Yuan shook his head helplessly, wielding the divine spear in his hand, this time without mercy, instantly piercing through the massive fiery figure’s body, turning its divine body into nothingness.

Exterminate!

The fiery lake quickly became quiet, with many treasures rising and being collected by Li Yuan into the storage magical treasure.

“This fiery life is the weakest indigenous being I’ve encountered these days, merely Heavenly God Second Rank strength.” Li Yuan thought to himself: “Yet still unable to make it submit?”

Even with soul invasion, sinking their consciousness, it was impossible to search for usable information from the souls of these native lifeforms.

“According to the intelligence, these native lifeforms were all born in a forbidden area known as the ‘Life Sea’.”

“Is there a restriction planted in their souls? Or what’s the reason?” Li Yuan wondered in his heart.

Whoosh!

Li Yuan continued moving forward… although he hadn’t found the location of the transmission array or obtained any truly meaningful ‘treasured relic’.

However, just the over ten native lifeforms he had been slaughtering along the way brought Li Yuan treasures worth trillions of Heart Dream Coins.

Yet, the strongest native lifeform Li Yuan encountered was only the initially met ‘Purple Dragon King’.

Subsequently, he did not encounter any stronger ones.

“According to intelligence, among native lifeforms, there should be those with the strength of a Divine Monarch or even a Top Divine Monarch.” Li Yuan thought secretly.

In the blink of an eye, several days passed.

A flash of light suddenly appeared in Li Yuan’s eyes while flying: “An Dao Divine Monarch, have you found the transmission array?”

…

In the Heart Dream Divine Realm, inside a special palace.

Dozens of figures gathered here, including Li Yuan, An Dao Divine Monarch, Ming Fang Divine Monarch, Blood Feather Divine Monarch, etc., all were present.

Aside from the forty Divine Monarch incarnations, there were also two Divine King incarnations on the throne at the end of the palace.

At this moment, everyone was looking at An Dao Divine Monarch.

“Just now.”

“I have found a transmission array, numbered 3561.” An Dao Divine Monarch said in a low voice: “According to the information I obtained from the transmission array, there are supposedly 9999 transmission arrays opened in this Beichen Residence.”

“Everyone holds a Heavenly God Token and has one chance each day, can choose to go to any specific numbered transmission array area or can randomly transmit.” An Dao Divine Monarch said: “This is the information I received.”

Immediately.

“Only 9999 transmission arrays?”

“By convention, all transmission arrays would generally be distributed evenly, meaning that flying between different transmission arrays would take at least more than twenty days?”

“Only one transmission opportunity per day?” many Divine Monarchs began to exchange comments with each other.

Li Yuan pondered silently as well.

Historically, the number of transmission arrays varies each time Beichen Residence opens, reaching up to hundreds of thousands or as few as several hundred… For most Divine Monarchs, the fewer the number of transmission arrays, the more dangerous it is.

After all, when encountering strong enemies, if close to a transmission array, one can escape into it and choose to transmit to other areas or directly escape Beichen Star… 9999 transmission arrays.

It sounds like a lot.

But scattered over the surface of Beichen Star, which is a light-year in diameter, it is actually quite insignificant.

“No wonder I haven’t encountered a transmission array for so long.” Li Yuan shook his head slightly.

…

Two days later, in the Heart Dream Divine Realm.

“I sensed the aura of a ‘treasure space’.” Blood Feather Divine Monarch said with a gleam in his eyes, his tone deep: “Judging by the fluctuations, it is likely to be a God King level treasure.”

“Treasure space?”

“For so long, this is the first time a strong person from Chaos Divine Court has encountered a treasure space, right?”

“That’s good.”

“Unfortunately, without knowing the exact location, it’s impossible to rush over.” Many Divine Monarchs had regrets in their hearts.

Li Yuan listened as well.

On Beichen Star, treasures are mainly of two kinds, one being the many natural treasures born on the surface of Beichen Star, mostly obtained by native lifeforms.

Therefore, the external Heavenly Gods mostly opt to hunt down native lifeforms.

The other is the ‘treasure space’.

This is the target all external Heavenly Gods pursue… the real treasured relics like God King Weapons and Five Realms Void Stones are only born within the treasure space.

Two days later.

“That treasure is a ‘Seven Flower Fruit’. I failed and it was taken by a Divine Monarch from Abyss Divine Court.” Blood Feather Divine Monarch shook his head and said: “Here is the intelligence on all the forces’ Divine Monarchs I encountered during this battle, take a look.”

Whoosh!

Blood Feather Divine Monarch waved his hand, quickly sharing the battle scenes he experienced, along with descriptions and text, delivering them to Li Yuan and others.

…

As time passed day by day.

In succession, strong individuals from Chaos Divine Court continuously discovered transmission arrays or encountered treasure spaces… By exchanging intelligence, all Chaos Divine Court strongmen gained more understanding of Beichen Star.

This is the advantage of having a powerful force, the exchange of intelligence far surpasses that of a lone ranger.

Li Yuan continued to watch and proceed carefully.

In a boundless lake.

“Whoosh!” Li Yuan landed gently, his gaze dark and observing in all directions.

“Is it really just my bad luck?”

“For so long, with my inquiry abilities, I’ve found neither a transmission array nor encountered even one native lifeform with the strength of a Divine Monarch?” Li Yuan shook his head slightly in frustration.

Luck is very treasured in exploring various dangerous and treasure lands.

Of course, Li Yuan still remained patient; the opening of Beichen Star lasts a thousand years… and less than two months have passed so far.

Suddenly.

An overwhelming energy aura suddenly swept through the boundless land at an incredible speed, reaching to where Li Yuan was.

“Hmm?”

“Is it a treasure space channel?” Li Yuan’s eyes lit up: “Finally encountered one.”
