293: Chapter 293 The Divine Realm

As they spoke, Li Daoxuan charged toward his opponent.

The opponent's figure was exceptionally large, as it was condensed from Nine Heavens Divine Thunder.

The moment Li Daoxuan drew near, he felt his entire body go numb from the electricity.

Of course, with his body having already reached the level of a Medium Grade Divine Artifact, he wouldn't suffer any real harm.

He swung the two divine swords in his hands toward the opponent's head.

The opponent quickly tilted its head to dodge Li Daoxuan's attack before lashing out with a kick.

Li Daoxuan had no time to dodge and was sent flying by the kick.

At this moment, Li Daoxuan realized the gap between them was quite large; he couldn't even withstand a single kick from the opponent.

However, this only ignited his Battle Intent; he could fully engage in combat with the opponent to hone his combat strength.

Thinking of this, Li Daoxuan quickly stood up and charged at the figure again.

The figure didn't dodge at all, as it possessed no consciousness, only the instinct for battle.

Just as Li Daoxuan's divine sword was about to strike its body, it reached out two fingers and pinched the divine sword.

The corners of Li Daoxuan's mouth curled slightly; what he wanted was exactly the opponent's arrogance.

The two divine swords, Taixuan and Dadao, had already reached the High Grade Divine Artifact Rank. They weren't something a giant condensed from Nine Heavens Divine Thunder could block. For it to instinctively try to block with its fingers—wasn't that just foolish?

Swish!

Sure enough, in an instant, the giant's fingers were sliced off, and its body weakened significantly.

Its Aura also diminished slightly, and Li Daoxuan knew this was his chance.

He struck out with several more sword strikes, all landing on the burly man's body, carving out chunk after chunk from the opponent.

The opponent's strength was also slowly weakening, much to Li Daoxuan's delight.

Quickly dodging the opponent's lightning attacks, he moved directly behind the burly man and swung his sword at its neck.

Swish!

The giant's head was severed, and its body slowly began to turn illusory.

However, very quickly, a large amount of Nine Heavens Divine Thunder gathered again, slowly repairing the giant's body.

Li Daoxuan naturally wouldn't let this opportunity slip. His two divine swords continuously hacked at the opponent; the energy sliced off was either absorbed by himself or by the two divine swords, Dadao and Taixuan.

Their Ranks grew rapidly, soon reaching the Peak of High Grade Divine Artifact, and Li Daoxuan's Physical Body strength was also about to Breakthrough to High Grade Divine Artifact.

Right at that moment, the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder suddenly dispersed, and the giant dissipated into mid-air.

Li Daoxuan stared blankly at the spot where the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder had vanished and suddenly cursed, "Damn it, you old bastard! Why couldn't you hold on a bit longer? My Physical Body was just about to Breakthrough to the High Grade Divine Artifact level!"

However, no matter how much he cursed, the Divine Tribulation acted as if it hadn't heard a thing and did not reappear.

The youth below couldn't help but curl his lip. He couldn't understand why the Divine Tribulation was like this, failing to cause any harm to Li Daoxuan.

Li Daoxuan shook his head helplessly. A large amount of resources appeared in his hands, and with the Great Ocean Boundless Sutra operating, he achieved a Breakthrough to the Divine Lord Realm in an instant.

However, this Realm was very unstable, as if it might drop at any moment.

But Li Daoxuan didn't care and continued to absorb the resources in his hands. Soon, his cultivation stabilized.

This speed of Breakthrough left the youth below dumbfounded. Just as he was about to say something, Li Daoxuan vanished from the spot.

The youth murmured, "Could this kid be the Child of Luck for this world? Otherwise, how could he improve so fast? Forget it, I won't think about it. I'd better guard my Heaven-Reaching Tower properly."

As his voice fell, his figure also vanished, and the interior of the Heaven-Reaching Tower returned to its original state.

...

This was a boundless continent where Divine Power was dense and a faint pressure filled the heavens and earth.

This was the legendary Divine Realm, the place where gods resided.

In an oasis within a desert, a youth sat cross-legged inside a pool measuring three square kilometers.

The water from the pool flowed continuously into his body, slowly stabilizing the cultivation he had just broken through.

Outside the pool was a wasteland; not even a ghost of a shadow could be seen.

After an unknown amount of time, the youth in the pool suddenly opened his eyes and looked outward.

His massive Divine Sense swept outward, but he didn't discover a single living person.

This turned out to be an oasis of about a thousand square kilometers. There were many architectural ruins in the oasis, but no one lived there.

Looking at the pool he was in, there was plenty of Divine Liquid, but the pool itself was dilapidated.

Not far away, there was also a broken stone stele with the words 'Ascension Pool' written on it.

It seemed this was an abandoned Ascension Pool. But with so much Divine Liquid in it, why would this place be abandoned?

Unable to figure it out, the youth took a step and arrived outside the pool.

He soon found some ancient texts, which recorded a large number of Cultivation Techniques and Divine Ability combat methods.

However, they were tossed in the ruins like trash, looking somewhat desolate.

The youth accepted them all, collecting all these techniques and texts.

A jade pendant appeared in his mind, rapidly deducing the Great Ocean Boundless Sutra.

The grade of the Great Ocean Boundless Sutra also slowly rose, soon becoming a God King level Cultivate technique.

This youth was none other than Li Daoxuan. As he continued to comprehend the techniques, his cultivation also began to rise slowly.

Because he had absorbed too much energy in the pool earlier, as the Great Ocean Boundless Sutra improved, his cultivation also began to increase.

Soon, his cultivation broke through all the way to the Peak of the Divine Lord Realm, but upon reaching this Realm, he forcibly suppressed it.

Looking into the distance, he collected everything useful here and even discovered a small Divine Stone vein.

Without hesitation, he plunged his hand into it, frantically absorbing the Divine Power from the Divine Stone mine.

However, all this absorbed energy was stored within his body; he did not choose to Breakthrough on the spot.

Becoming a God King was good, of course, but he wanted to become a supreme Divine Venerable—the very Peak of the Divine Realm.

If he broke through now, it would be even more difficult to reach the Divine Venerable Realm later.

Taking a deep breath, he forcibly suppressed the urge to Breakthrough and then flew toward the distance.

Desolation, utter desolation. Throughout the desert, besides the oasis he had first appeared in, everywhere else was a wasteland without even a tiny oasis.

By this time, Li Daoxuan had been out of that oasis for ten years, yet in those ten years, he had discovered nothing.

If it weren't for the faint Divine Power radiating here, Li Qingquan would have doubted whether this was the Divine Realm.

"What kind of hellish place is this? Could it be some Forbidden Ground of the Divine Realm? If so, I'm way too unlucky."

Li Daoxuan looked around with a long face, and soon, a faint sound came from nearby.

He looked down toward a spot not far away; the sand layer rippled slightly, and a head appeared above the sand.

This person looked around for a moment, and after finding no one, quickly emerged into the desert.

Following that, one after another, members of the Human Race appeared in the desert, and before long, a hundred people had emerged.

The strongest among these hundred people was only at the Peak of the Heavenly God Realm. They looked around cautiously, as if there were something dangerous nearby.

After finding no danger, they stealthily moved toward a certain direction.

"Hurry up and keep up. As long as we can hunt that Monster, our clansmen can survive a bit longer."
