Let you simulate life, but you change fate every time?! Chapter 1137 593: Eighth Life: Gathering of the Strong, Demigod Level Entities

With a resolute shake of his head, the aged elder adamantly refused the bald man's overture.

Each of them held the esteemed rank of a Tier Nine Immortal, far surpassing the might of an Immortal Emperor of Attainment.

Their combined strength was such that even a Tier Nine Immortal could be subdued and vanquished within moments.

Yet, despite Lu Yuan's unassuming demeanor, a profound sense of dread emanated from him, stirring deep within the elder's heart.

An ingrained instinct, sharpened by countless brushes with peril, conveyed a stark warning.

Should they dare to engage Lu Yuan carelessly, a calamitous end awaited them!

"Immortal Emperor, these individuals..."

Observing the retreating figures of the withered elder and his companions, the Celestial Secret Daoist's face drained of all color, yet a wave of relief washed over him.

The sheer might of those beings was so overwhelming that even from a considerable distance, he felt an oppressive suffocation.

Lu Yuan's presence had evidently deterred them from immediate action.

Were he to face them alone, their mere pressure would suffice to obliterate him.

"These entities hail from disparate world planes, and their arrival within the Divine Domain signifies a significant shift in circumstances here."

"I am bound for the Divine Domain's core and cannot offer protection. If you depart now, there may still be an opportunity for you."

Lu Yuan cast a detached glance towards the Celestial Secret Daoist as he spoke these words.

Upon hearing this counsel.

The Celestial Secret Daoist's expression shifted, and he fell into a pensive silence.

Lu Yuan's assessment was indeed accurate.

With the convergence of such formidable powers, the Supreme Origin Divine Realm presented a danger far exceeding his prior comprehension.

Furthermore, only those of at least Tier Nine Immortal or Immortal Emperor caliber could tread these grounds.

He, however, was merely at the Half-Step Immortal Emperor Cultivation; remaining here would likely seal his fate within less than half a day.

After a prolonged pause.

He clenched his jaw, as if a momentous decision had been reached.

"My life force wanes, and even a return to the Holy Realm offers little hope of longevity. Only within the Divine Domain do I stand a sliver of a chance."

"But rest assured, Immortal Emperor, I shall not be a burden to you."

The Celestial Secret Daoist declared with resolute conviction, his voice heavy with unspoken trials.

"Since you possess such foresight, let us proceed on our journey."

Witnessing this resolve, Lu Yuan offered no further words and led the Celestial Secret Daoist directly into the heart of the Divine Domain.

The very instant they crossed its threshold.

Within the unseen expanse.

Lu Yuan felt an immense, unparalleled power descend from the heavens, pressing down upon him, causing his body to falter and significantly diminishing his cultivation.

"Is this the suppression levied by the Divine Law?"

A subtle shift in Lu Yuan's expression betrayed his recognition of this formidable pressure, which he estimated reduced his power by no less than thirty percent.

The Divine Law encountered earlier, emanating from a residual void rift, was merely a faint wisp compared to the pervasive power of the laws within the Divine Domain.

It was a disparity in kind, not degree.

And the further one ventured towards the Divine Domain's core, the more potent the oppressive effect of the Divine Law grew.

In its depths, even a Tier Nine Immortal could be rendered as helpless as a common mortal!

"This sacred ground was once the very place where the Supreme Origin Saint Master ascended to divinity. Vestiges of countless Divine Laws now hold sway, suppressing any who trespass here."

"However, the Supreme Origin Saint Master has long since passed, and the Divine Laws here have begun to wane, unable to contain overwhelming force."

Lu Yuan pondered aloud.

To a Tenth Rank Main God, such as the God of Illusion, these lingering Divine Law remnants would pose no significant obstacle.

Yet, this Divine Domain had been consecrated as the Supreme Origin Saint Master's Divine Country, imbued with his Original Divine Format.

Should beings like the God of Illusion attempt a direct descent.

The intrinsically incomplete Original Divine Format would inevitably shatter under the strain of such immense Divine Power.

This very reason

compelled the God of Illusion and his ilk to proceed with measured caution, utilizing figures like Immortal Emperor Nanli to vie for dominion over this Original Divine Format!

"Possessing the Supreme Chaos Law, I can seize this opportune moment to absorb and integrate these Divine Law energies."

A flicker of insight ignited in Lu Yuan's eyes as he promptly unleashed his Origin Magical Power.

Subsequently.

A swirling vortex of ethereal, grey Chaos Qi materialized from his being, enveloping him and radiating outwards in all directions.

Relentlessly, it began to erode and assimilate the residual Divine Law power permeating this realm.

In its nascent stages.

The expansion of this Chaos Qi progressed at a glacial pace, akin to a snail's crawl, almost impossibly slow.

But as Lu Yuan successfully refined substantial amounts of energy and Divine Law, the Chaos Qi cloaking him grew progressively more dense and formidable.

Ultimately.

The Chaos Qi surged with astonishing velocity, transforming into a vortex akin to a black hole, capable of consuming all in its path.

Wherever its influence extended, it transmuted everything into pure origin energy!

Despite the Divine Law's inhibitory effect, the formation of Chaos Qi, even though born from the Supreme Law's might, still found its spread somewhat restricted.

No matter how much effort Lu Yuan invested, his influence was confined to a mere ten-mile radius.

Yet, this pace proved more than adequate for Lu Yuan's objectives.

As the Chaos Qi assimilated a substantial volume of Divine Law power, the immortal divine patterns embedded within his physical form grew notably clearer and more intricate.

What began as singular threads evolved into hundreds, weaving together.

These interwoven immortal divine patterns coalesced into ancient runes, causing a dramatic surge in Lu Yuan's physical strength.

This enhancement, coupled with his personal power, represented a significant leap from his previous state!

"This is promising; at this rate, I might just transform the Immortal Immortal Body into the Eternal Divine Body within a few short years," Lu Yuan mused.

The Eternal Divine Body, he knew, was incorruptible and eternal, capable of enduring even the collapse of the heavens and the sinking of the Ten Thousand Realms.

It could even offer a degree of resistance against the encroachment of the Dark Origin!

This implied.

Once Lu Yuan successfully condensed the Eternal Divine Body, he would achieve an unassailable state of invincibility, capable of confronting Dark Deities even amidst utter darkness without faltering!

Especially as he accumulated sufficient Eternal Divine Patterns, the stifling influence of the Divine Law in this domain lessened considerably.

Lu Yuan felt an immense sense of liberation, as if a great burden had been lifted!

In stark contrast, the Celestial Secret Daoist, weighed down by the Divine Law's suppression, appeared pale and struggled with each movement, finding every step a laborious effort.

"Your cultivation is insufficient; this is your boundary, and you cannot venture further," Lu Yuan stated.

"To push beyond risks having your physical body pulverized into dust by the Divine Law before you can find any true opportunity."

Lu Yuan offered this counsel with a shake of his head.

"Thank you, Immortal Emperor, for your wise counsel," the Celestial Secret Daoist responded.

Acknowledging his limitations, the Celestial Secret Daoist ceased pushing his limits and took his leave of Lu Yuan, opting to remain in the outer regions to seek out fortune-altering chances.

After parting ways with the Celestial Secret Daoist, Lu Yuan wasted no time and continued his journey toward the heart of the Divine Domain.

In the subsequent days.

Beyond his travels, he dedicated his free moments to refining the pervasive Divine Law that permeated the world.

As time marched on.

The Eternal Divine Patterns within him grew progressively more complex and profound, imbuing him with an aura of immortal divinity.

His power ascended to heights even he couldn't fully quantify, leaving Lu Yuan himself uncertain of his complete combat capabilities.

However, a subtle intuition arose.

He surmised that if faced with figures like Immortal Emperor Nanli, he might not even require his Lifebound Immortal Soldier, potentially crushing them with his physical prowess alone!

Furthermore.

Along his path, Lu Yuan crossed ways with numerous powerful individuals at the immortal level hailing from disparate world planes.

These formidable beings represented a variety of races, including Attained Immortal Emperors from the Human Race, as well as other immortal-tier existences from the Ghost, Demon, and Dragon Races.

Their shared characteristic was an immensely terrifying power.

A select few, who had attained the Demigod Realm, were capable of completely disregarding the Divine Law's suppression in this territory.

Having already ignited the Divine Fire, their physical bodies had transformed into the Eternal Divine Body, their every breath stirring tides of Law.

Their mere presence exuded a formidable pressure that could convulse the very heavens, instilling dread in many Tier Nine Immortals!

When compared to Tenth Rank Main Gods.

Their sole deficiency was an inadequate Authority of Law, preventing them from achieving that final, crucial step.

Should they acquire the Original Divine Format, it was plausible they could transcend instantly, evolving into true Eternal Deities!
