Chapter 566: God

Boom!

Ye Li unleashed his magical power, and the Creation Bell flew out from his Purple Palace. Divine patterns manifested one after another, emitting a mighty toll that reverberated as sound waves swept outward.

Bang!

Amidst the roaring thunder, half a mountain was sheared flat by the bell toll. The Creation Bell struck heavily onto one of the Primordial beasts.

Roar!

That Primordial beast shattered into countless motes with a resounding burst of light, dispersing into overwhelming primordial energy. Another Primordial beast stood frozen in place, apparently stunned by Ye Li’s blow.

Li Ruoyu and Dao Sovereign Qingyuan were equally stunned.

"Brother Li, with your strength this immense, why did you even need us?" Li Ruoyu complained.

"…"

Ye Li himself was momentarily bewildered.

He hadn’t expected the sheer, fearsome power unleashed by combining his cultivation with the Creation Bell!

"Then watch me perform."

Dong!

Ye Li channeled his magic power. Divine patterns flowed across the surface of the Creation Bell as it abruptly ensnared the other Primordial beast. Ye Li himself rushed to slaughter the defeated one.

"The Great Grasp of Innate Qi!"

Ye Li extended his hand, then clenched it as though pulling the entire world into his palm. When his hand retracted, a Primordial Dan had materialized at its center.

"Tsk tsk…" Li Ruoyu clicked his tongue in fervent praise.

Beside him, Dao Sovereign Qingyuan watched, dumbstruck.

Ye Li could subjugate two Primordial beasts single-handedly— creatures even three Five Tribulations Dao Sovereigns struggled against? And he’d done so almost instantly.

"Far too easy."

Holding the Primordial Dan, Ye Li lightly tapped the Creation Bell with his palm. A devastating sound wave erupted, grinding the beast trapped within to fine powder, leaving only a floating Primordial Dan.

He withdrew his magic treasure and collected the Primordial Dans.

Holding the Primordial Dan in hand, overwhelming primordial energy surged within his grasp, rivaling that of a peak Five Tribulations Dao Sovereign.

"Here."

Ye Li casually tossed one Primordial Dan toward Li Ruoyu and instructed, "You alone can’t refine this one Primordial Dan. Share it between the two of you."

His Divine Sense surged into the Primordial Dan, probing its mysteries.

Boom!

Instantly, a vast surge of primordial energy flooded into Ye Li’s physical form from the Dan. His body bulged like an inflated ball, startling him into immediately activating the Book of Changes to forcibly quell the raging energy.

Moments later.

Ye Li had finished fully refining the Primordial Dan.

He felt his primordial qi surging wildly, creating an unusual sense of oppression against his physical body and primordial spirit.

"Hold off on refining it for now," Ye Li said with a slight frown.

"Why?"

Li Ruoyu looked puzzled.

"This Primordial Dan contains the essence source of primordial qi. Refining it will oppress both your essence and spirit, making them incompatible," Ye Li explained, a flash of insight appearing in his eyes.

He seemed to understand the reason behind the Dao Clan’s aging.

Members of the Dao Clan possessed exceptionally vast magical power—a natural gift.

But everything has its drawbacks.

While Heaven bestowed talent for mastering primordial qi, it also rendered their physical bodies and primordial spirits incapable of harmonizing like ordinary cultivators.

On the cultivation path, essence, energy, and spirit must coexist in balance.

Any imbalance, prolonged over time, would inevitably bring calamitous consequences.

"As one of the Three Ancient Clans, the Dao Clan must possess individuals surpassing even the Hall Master of the Reincarnation Hall. Yet they still sought the Hall Master’s weakness through Heaven’s Secret Pavilion—clearly, they harbor fear."

Ye Li pondered deeply.

The Dao Clan suffered a fundamental flaw.

Perhaps.

All Three Ancient Clans shared this fragility.

"If we can’t refine it, isn’t it wasted?" Dao Sovereign Qingyuan lamented.

"Not at all,"

Ye Li replied. "This Primordial Dan is a supreme spiritual elixir. During combat, if your magic depletes, a single breath of it will restore you instantly."

"Sensible point,"

Li Ruoyu chuckled.

"These Primordial beasts are immensely powerful, likely nurtured over eons. Some might even reach Heavenly Venerate level," Ye Li remarked solemnly.

"Let’s move."

Having unraveled the mystery of the Primordial beasts, he lost interest.

He led Li Ruoyu and Dao Sovereign Qingyuan deeper into the realm.

Mountains hung inverted, illusory as reflected flowers in water and moonlit ripples.

Along their path lay shattered peaks, with remnants of magical combat lingering in the void—clear signs of past battles.

Boom!

After flying some distance, the sound of renewed conflict reached them.

The trio landed on a mountainside, gazing toward the battle.

Disciples of the Ancestral Dragon lineage clashed fiercely with those of the Luoshen Dynasty.

Two Dao Sovereigns fought with neither gaining ground.

It was Ying Ziyu and Bi’an.

Over a dozen Dao Sovereigns stood watching from both sides as the two fought.

Beneath them lay what seemed like an abyss.

Primordial energy gathered and dispersed like mist, vaguely resembling two immense, swaying petals.

Ye Li activated his Creation Divine Eyes, piercing through the energy mist to glimpse the Primordial Spirit Flower’s true form.

A gargantuan stem plunged into the abyss’s depths, layered petals overlapping as they rhythmically opened and closed, each movement devouring vast quantities of heaven and earth’s primordial energy.

Born purely of elemental force, it bore no trace of the Great Dao—a being of the same kind as primordial beasts.

Yet, the power contained within this single flower surpassed that of a primordial beast a hundredfold.

Crucially, within its petals, jade-like objects were gestating.

Primordial Qi.

The very essence of source energy.

"Fine treasures," Li Ruoyu murmured, his fingers itching with desire.

"Watch and wait," Ye Li stated lightly.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Both Ying Ziyu and Bi’an ranked among the elite Dao Sovereigns. Their clash unleashed unique abilities, revealing strengths nearly matched.

"Junior Sister Ying, that Primordial Spirit Flower shall be mine. Step aside, and I will owe you a favor?" Bi’an offered with a grin.

"Disappointing you, Daoist Brother, but this cannot be yielded," Ying Ziyu replied coolly.

"Hahaha…"

Laughter echoed as beams of immortal light descended from the sky. Members of the Immortal Palace of All Laws arrived. Their leader’s presence, immensely profound, slightly surpassed even Ying Ziyu and the others.

This was Battle Dao Sovereign, disciple of the Great Celestial Sovereign of Eternity.

"My Immortal Palace of All Laws also claims this prize. Cease your squabble. It belongs to me," Battle Dao Sovereign declared confidently.

"Daoist friend, did you neglect to rinse your mouth today?" Bi’an sneered coldly. "Such foul breath!"

"Bi’an, they say your dragon clan possesses mighty physiques. As the ninth-generation Bi’an, hailed as the dragon clan’s strongest genius in recent years… I’ll grant you the first strike." Battle Dao Sovereign clasped his hands behind his back.

"Arrogant fool," Bi’an retorted icily. "Do you imagine I fear you?"

"Senior sister, what is our course?" Within the Luoshen Dynasty faction, several Dao Sovereigns looked to Ying Ziyu.

"Wait," she answered.

"Just weaklings squabbling," Li Ruoyu scoffed derisively, turning to Ye Li. "Brother Li, won’t you step in?"

"In such a hurry for rebirth?" Ye Li rolled his eyes.

"……"

"This Primordial Spirit Flower. None of you are worthy, nor capable, of claiming it."

Just then.

A cold, supremely proud voice pierced the ears of all present.

From the heavens, two pillars of light descended. Within the radiance stood two figures, majestic as deities descending to the mortal world, their grace peerless.

All eyes followed the sound.

A man and a woman.

The man possessed stunning male beauty. Every gesture exuded an air of icy aloofness as he descended like an exiled immortal, surveying the world with the detached arrogance of one who regards mortals as beneath notice.

The woman’s beauty defied description.

She seemed the Creator’s most flawless masterpiece—not a single flaw could be found, her aura coldly elegant, radiating pride mirroring the man beside her, as if both were cast from the same mold.

Observing them, Ye Li felt he was gazing upon the Moon Goddess.

Their perfection was unnerving.

Even he felt a pang of inadequacy.

"I’ve never encountered these two outside," Ye Li’s mind stirred, his pupils tightening slightly. "Could they be of the Haotian lineage?"

Their cultivation levels were also at Five Tribulations Dao Sovereign, yet their auras distinctly surpassed Battle Dao Sovereign’s by a significant margin.

Their power was greater still.

"What identities do you claim, Daoist friends?" Battle Dao Sovereign demanded, brow furrowed.

Ying Ziyu and Bi’an also frowned deeply.

These newcomers bore ill intent.

The man’s thin lips pressed into a faint, haughty line as he gazed down at Battle Dao Sovereign and the others. His voice was devoid of warmth:

"You may address me as… God."
