Yuan’s Ascension

Chapter 1161: Mythic-tier Star (2)

While Wu Yuan’s deductions within the Dream World had given him ever-greater insights into Spacetime, rivaling those Perennial powerhouses, his cultivation time was ultimately limited. Thus, he had yet to develop many eternal ultimate techniques.

To be frank, Wu Yuan’s qi refiner self had only created one soul class eternal ultimate technique so far — the Myriad Rebirths Tribulation.

Of course, he had comprehended numerous ultimate techniques and cultivated many more eternal ultimate techniques, such as River Ring, Heavenrend, Psyche Radiance, Psyche Annihilation, and others.

However, the techniques of others would always belong to others. They could only serve as a reference, never truly transforming into one’s own.

To create my own Dao, I must develop more eternal ultimate techniques that are truly mine. Wu Yuan pondered silently.

Only self-created techniques could be perfectly mastered. For an eternal powerhouse to break through, they must forge a path uniquely their own.

I should gather some intelligence first. With a thought, Wu Yuan’s pupils grew dark and unfathomable. Invisible fluctuations began to infiltrate the Sword Dragon King.

In an instant, the Sword Dragon King, which had been struggling frantically within the River Ring, suddenly grew calm as if hypnotized. In truth, it had fallen into the Myriad Rebirths Tribulation.

Compared to fourth-stage Overlord powerhouses from the external world, the beast kings within the Xuanhuang Cosmiris seem to have much weaker spirit and soul resistance. Wu Yuan mused.

In terms of soul strength, they were comparable, all at the limits of sempiternal lifeforms. But the beast kings of the Xuanhuang Cosmiris lacked soul-type secret artifacts for protection. Moreover, their experiences were often limited, leaving their spirit and will relatively untempered.

I see. So the opportunities on this star are… Wu Yuan swiftly breached the defenses of the Sword Dragon King’s spirit world, obtaining a wealth of information.

Wu Yuan now largely grasped the current situation within the Xuanhuang Cosmiris.

…

Whoosh! Overlord Jiang Meng recalled her five ether bodies and immediately flew to Wu Yuan’s side, gazing at him with utmost reverence.

Rumors were one thing, but witnessing his power firsthand had left a profound impact. A fourth-stage Overlord, whom she had considered invincible, was subdued with a mere wave of the hand and now lay in a deep slumber. What incredible power could accomplish such a feat?

Overlord Ming Jian is likely using illusions to extract information. Overlord Jiang Meng mused silently. However, obtaining intelligence directly from the beast king will prove challenging. An early-stage Sovereign beast would have been far more susceptible.

She had considered this approach herself, capturing numerous beasts in recent days, but most attempts had failed. Only a handful of extremely weak, early-stage Sovereign beasts had succumbed to her influence. Yet what valuable information could such lowly creatures at the very bottom of the hierarchy possibly possess?

This guardian beast king is, after all, a fourth-stage Overlord. Even if Overlord Ming Jian excels in soul class techniques, success would be difficult. And even if successful, it would likely take many days. She silently observed Wu Yuan in the distance.

I hope Overlord Ming Jian succeeds. Perhaps then, he might offer me some guidance. She dared not hope that Wu Yuan would help her seize opportunities, only that he might point her in the right direction.

Suddenly, Wu Yuan’s eyes flew open. With a wave of his hand, a flicker of struggle passed through the Sword Dragon King’s eyes before they dimmed.

It was dead!

Compared to physical destruction, Wu Yuan’s mana body was far more adept at spirit and soul attacks. A blade ray flashed, and the Sword Dragon King’s skull split open. An enormous purple crystal fell into Wu Yuan’s palm.

This scene made Overlord Jiang Meng’s heart race even faster. To slay a fourth-stage Overlord with a mere thought?

“Overlord Jiang Meng.” Wu Yuan finally turned to look at her, a smile playing on his lips.

“Overlord Ming Jian, thank you for saving my life,” Overlord Jiang Meng said respectfully.

“It’s nothing. I should be thanking you,” Wu Yuan replied with a gentle smile.

“Me?” Overlord Jiang Meng was taken aback.

“If not for you, finding this Sword Dragon King might have taken me an extra quarter hour,” Wu Yuan explained. “Extracting information from it would have been even more troublesome.”

An extra quarter hour? Overlord Jiang Meng felt a flush of embarrassment.

Suddenly, as if realizing something, her eyes widened. “Overlord Ming Jian, in such a short time, you’ve already obtained intelligence from this guardian beast king?

“It was a fourth-stage Overlord!” Overlord Jiang Meng could scarcely believe it.

“Yes, I did. If it had been a true fourth-stage Overlord, I might not have succeeded,” Wu Yuan mused. “Still, it was quite resilient. It took me a full ten breaths.”

A full ten breaths to make the spirit world of a fourth-stage Overlord beast king succumb fully? Was this the true power of Overlord Ming Jian? Overlord Jiang Meng fell into stunned silence.

She felt as if her worldview forged from over tens of billions of years of existence was being entirely reshaped.

“Overlord Ming Jian, could you possibly help…” Overlord Jiang Meng couldn’t help but ask.

“I can’t help you. It would take too long,” Wu Yuan shook his head decisively. “Time is of the essence. I must hurry to find Overlord Wu Yuan so we can challenge the Mythic-tier Star together.”

Having already joined forces to battle against a Saint, there was little need to conceal that his two true selves were staunch allies.

Moreover, Wu Yuan had grown rather indifferent to it all. At his current level, he was practically invincible in the River of Universes dimension.

In the future, once he completed Dao Enlightenment, he was destined to become a True Saint swiftly. At that point, even a Dao Zenithel would find it extremely difficult to kill him.

So, it was best if the connection between his two true selves remained hidden. But if exposed? So be it!

“I was too presumptuous. Your own opportunities are naturally of utmost importance, Overlord Ming Jian,” Overlord Jiang Meng quickly shook her head, though a hint of disappointment lingered in her heart. She had only hoped for a small clue, some guidance.

However, this disappointment vanished as quickly as it had appeared. Overlord Jiang Meng understood that being saved by him was already her fortune.

“Therefore, you’ll have to explore this star’s treasure ground on your own. It would take too much time if I went with you,” Wu Yuan continued. Then, with a wave of his hand, the purple crystal in his palm flew towards Overlord Jiang Meng. “This crystal is the entrance token to this star’s treasure ground.”

A divine slip also emerged. “I’ve just obtained a bunch of information. Take your time to study it. It includes spacetime coordinates for the treasure ground,” Wu Yuan smiled. “Though the guardian beast king is dead, numerous dangers still lurk around. Be cautious. I must take my leave now.”

Whoosh! Before Overlord Jiang Meng could react, Wu Yuan’s mana body soared skyward, reaching tens of times the speed of light in the blink of an eye, swiftly plunging into a distant spacetime vortex.

Overlord Jiang Meng remained alone, stunned.

This? The entrance token for the treasure ground? Information? Overlord Jiang Meng stared blankly at the two items before her, finally realizing that Overlord Ming Jian had misunderstood her intention.

Taking a deep breath, Overlord Jiang Meng reached for the divine slip, examining its contents. A flood of information surged into her mind, quickly giving her a clear understanding.

So, the treasure ground is in that mountain range ten billion li away. When entering the second level while holding this Purple Radiance Stone, the guardian puppets will retreat… Overlord Jiang Meng muttered to herself.

Deep within the site, there’s a mid-grade Xiantian artifact? Her heart pounded with barely contained excitement.

A mid-grade Xiantian artifact! In her long years of cultivation and adventures, she had only managed to acquire a few low-grade Xiantian artifacts.

With this thought, Overlord Jiang Meng couldn’t help but glance towards the distance, where the vast, endless spacetime vortex no longer showed any trace of Wu Yuan’s mana body.

A mid-grade Xiantian artifact holds no allure for Overlord Ming Jian? Overlord Jiang Meng sighed inwardly. I suppose such treasures are likely insignificant to him.

The Xuanhuang Cosmiris would open for at most a hundred thousand years. One could easily be trapped in a single exploration site for tens of thousands of years.

The legendary Mythic-tier Star? I hope you succeed, Overlord Ming Jian. Overlord Jiang Meng thought to herself. I will remember this favor as long as I live.

Whoosh! Overlord Jiang Meng waved her hand, storing away the purple crystal and divine slip before heading towards the mountain range ten billion li away.

She had no intention of exploring other stars. It was pointless. For Overlord Jiang Meng, if she could obtain a mid-grade Xiantian artifact from this treasure site, it would be a tremendous gain.

In reality, most Overlords who participated in the Cosmiris would simply remain on the star where they landed. Ultimately, obtaining one or two Xiantian artifacts or treasures of equivalent value was enough to satisfy them.
