Chapter 1593: Chapter 704: Golden Turbulence! Top-Tier Divine Guard

“Can’t leave?” Elder Huo Qu frowned. “In the Divine Palace, as long as you follow the water flow and pass through the Space Spring, you should be able to leave.”

“Judging by the time, you haven’t been in the Divine Palace for long, right?” Elder Huo Qu asked, puzzled.

“Correct.” Li Yuan nodded. “But as soon as I entered, I encountered the Golden Wind Turbulence and got trapped deep within it… I can’t break free right now, only drifting along.”

“Golden Wind Turbulence?” Elder Huo Qu was instantly shocked.

Though he had never been to the Divine Palace, Chaos Mansion had collected a lot of information about it over the years, so Elder Huo Qu was quite knowledgeable about it.

“Golden Wind Turbulence, so rare, you encountered it right when you entered? Really unlucky.” Elder Huo Qu couldn’t help but shake his head.

Li Yuan also gave a helpless smile.

Indeed, unlucky.

“However, there’s no immediate danger to life.” Li Yuan said.

“Here’s what I’ll do; I will send a message to the twelve Candidate Elders to see who can lend a hand,” Elder Huo Qu said. “If you break free from the Golden Wind Turbulence, send me a message immediately.”

“No need.” Li Yuan shook his head. “Elder Huo Qu… Most other Candidate Elders have their own matters to attend to, even if they come, it would be only two or three at most.”

“If they come, they might still not be able to save me.”

“And if they get stuck, it would be my fault.” Li Yuan resolutely refused him. “The Immortal Court might send powerful attackers, but they don’t have Seventh-rank Quasi-Saints… At most, some Sixth-rank Quasi-Saints may come, which I believe I can handle.”

Below the Emperor Realm, achieving Seventh-rank Quasi-Saint indicates true combat power matching the Emperor Realm, extremely hard to come by.

In the entire Eighth Dark Domain, according to public information, right now, only Purple Fire God King has appeared… Though there were past prodigies equal to the Purple Fire God King, they are either gone or have achieved the Emperor Realm.

The Immortal Court’s forces, while powerful, have many Sixth-rank Quasi-Saints… But below the Emperor Realm, they have no Seventh-rank Quasi-Saints.

To Li Yuan, once he enters the God King Realm, his combat power will soar… As long as he doesn’t encounter a Seventh-rank Quasi-Saint, he has no fear.

“Alright.”

“If you need further assistance, send me a message.” Elder Huo Qu said.

…

As time passed, the battle at the Hundred Divine Wheels spread wider, but what truly amazed people about Li Yuan was his unbelievably brief cultivation years that made hearts skip.

In terms of strength? Fifth-rank Quasi-Saints are indeed formidable… But across the Immortal Heaven and Earth, they’re not that noticeable.

In the eyes of Sixth-rank Quasi-Saints and Seventh-rank Quasi-Saints, Li Yuan posed no threat.

Inside the Divine Palace.

Countless densely packed passages stretch, each one tens of millions of kilometers wide, with lengths beyond measure… Extending endlessly.

Numerous passages interconnect like a giant labyrinth.

And in these passages, countless torrents move at super high speed… These torrents are extremely unique and tough, each drop containing formidable might.

At this moment.

A current, emanating endless Golden Light, was rampaging through the passage at an incredibly fearsome speed, where it went, the existing torrents were all violently stirred, then crashed hard against the walls of the passage.

At the very center of this Golden Light Turbulence, numerous golden liquids roiled, like a massive vortex.

A figure was desperately struggling to stabilize their posture within… Also trying hard to resist the erosion from these golden liquids.

“Little Tomb!”

“Think of something quickly.” Li Yuan transmitted in a low voice. “If this continues, in ten or so days, my Divine Body will completely collapse, and my Divine Power will be depleted.”

Once it comes to that.

Certain death!

“Delay and wait for changes, seek opportunities.” Little Tomb said.

“You speak so easily, isn’t this waiting for death? Counting on luck?” Li Yuan couldn’t help but say.

“No choice.”

“It’s down to luck, your luck is too bad.” Little Tomb shook his head helplessly. “Just entered the Divine Palace and fell into Golden Wind Turbulence… I hadn’t even heard of it before.”

“Luckily.”

“You acquired the Myriad Phenomena Armor beforehand, raising your Material Defense to an exceptionally strong level; your Divine Body is also resilient enough, otherwise… You wouldn’t have lasted even half a day.” Little Tomb said.

Li Yuan sighed inwardly.

Indeed difficult!

The Divine Palace is like a giant labyrinth, countless passages, with no one able to explore its entirety… In the information Li Yuan knows, the Divine Palace’s many passages seem to change position through special spacetime fluctuations.

Therefore!

In the Divine Palace, recording one’s location is meaningless.

The dangers in the Divine Palace, firstly from encountering Divine Guards, secondly from encountering various ‘turbulences’, like Golden Wind Turbulence, Fire Wind Turbulence, etc., and thirdly from the Divine Palace Killing Formation.

The first two are purely dangerous.

The Divine Palace Killing Formation is both a danger and a test.

“With my strength, if I encounter turbulence on the way forward, there’s hope to avoid it in advance.” Li Yuan frowned in thought.

But having just entered and encountered Golden Wind Turbulence.

No escape.

“I can only drag this out.” Li Yuan gritted his teeth to hold on, vigorously activating the Myriad Phenomena Armor… Layers of strange light waves continuously charged outwards, weakening the external erosion.

The turbulence, besides the extraordinarily strong impact from the central vortex,

also has the corrosion power of countless golden liquids… They cannot affect the Myriad Phenomena Armor, but their corrosion is comprehensive, even silently, slowly permeating every part of Li Yuan’s Divine Body.

This is an application of spacetime power.

Top-level powerhouses understand more: merely holding off on the surface with Material Defense is inadequate, many peculiar attacks are simultaneous inside and out.

“Li Yuan, don’t be too pessimistic.”

“As long as you hold on, there’s an opportunity…” Little Tomb laughed again, “Sending you specifically to the Divine Palace wasn’t without reason, it’s based on some evidence.”

“But still, you must first survive, and endure.”

Little Tomb spoke mysteriously.

Li Yuan had no other choice, he could only grit his teeth and hang on.

Day by day passed… and in the blink of an eye, six days had gone by.

“Rumble~”

This golden turbulence kept moving at extreme speed. After all this time, Li Yuan couldn’t figure out how long he had been moving forward. Occasionally, the turbulence could soar to a hundred times the speed of light, and at times the speed would sharply drop to less than the speed of light… there was no pattern to it at all.

Suddenly.

“Hmm!” Li Yuan was shocked, through layers of golden light obstacles, he saw it from afar.

“What is that?”

Li Yuan’s perception ability was incredibly sharp, even though his whole body was wrapped in golden turbulence… he sensed something in the far-off passage.

A towering figure was looming there.

It was nearly ten million kilometers tall, and it seemed to be crouching, like an ancient ferocious beast, covered in golden fur, with a face resembling a tiger or leopard. Its massive body almost occupied the entire passage… a vast amount of water flow was forced to stream through narrow gaps.

The terrifying impact contained in countless water streams was enough to make many in the Emperor Realm change color, yet it didn’t affect the creature in the slightest.

It was just like a gentle breeze brushing across its face.

“Divine Guard.”

“And it’s the top-tier Golden Armor Divine Guard.” Li Yuan instantly understood what he had encountered.

Over these six days, as he moved with the golden wind turbulence, Li Yuan encountered several Divine Guards, but their strengths were quite ordinary, and he faced no interference.

But a Golden Armor Divine Guard? It was the first time Li Yuan had seen one.

“How did I encounter a Golden Armor Divine Guard?” Li Yuan found it a bit unbelievable.

The Golden Armor Divine Guards were rare.

As the top-tier guards, their strength far surpassed any Sixth Rank Quasi-Saint and could absolutely match an Emperor Realm existence, representing the top danger of the Hundred Gods Palace.

Foreign Quasi-Saints almost never encountered a Golden Armor Divine Guard, but if they did, it represented extreme danger.

“Conceal your aura.”

“Hope it can be avoided.” Li Yuan made every effort to conceal his aura, even to the point where his body became somewhat blurred, hoping not to be detected by the Golden Armor Divine Guard.

Currently trapped in the golden wind turbulence, he couldn’t break free.

If he were to be targeted by the Golden Armor Divine Guard, it would likely mean a dead end.

Whoosh!

The golden wind turbulence continued to approach, swiftly reaching the side of the Golden Armor Divine Guard, which remained crouched, asleep, as if nothing could disturb it.

“Whoosh!”

Just as Li Yuan thought the turbulence was about to pass through the Golden Armor Divine Guard, leaving him temporarily safe.

Suddenly!

“Buzz~” The crouched Golden Armor Divine Guard abruptly opened its eyes, its gaze filled with endless coldness as it looked at the golden turbulence brushing past its massive body.

This single glance.

Also made Li Yuan’s heart skip a beat, he felt a piercing chill envelop his heart.

The next instant.

“Boom!” The Golden Armor Divine Guard suddenly extended a gigantic terrifying palm, fiercely striking towards Li Yuan, the palm containing overwhelming might.

“Not good!” Li Yuan’s face changed slightly.

But it was too late to dodge.

Rumble~

As simply as squashing a mosquito, that terrifying palm instantly penetrated the golden turbulence, followed by a fierce strike at Li Yuan in the core area of the turbulence.

In one encounter.

Li Yuan was struck flying out of the golden turbulence, at this moment, the restraining power of the golden turbulence couldn’t constrain the terrifying giant palm.

Thud~ Thud!

Li Yuan’s divine body further fragmented layer by layer, if not for the Myriad Phenomena Armor’s protection, his divine body might have exploded and vanished, the disparity in strength was simply too vast.

“Near the peak of the Emperor Realm, this Divine Guard is too terrifying.” Li Yuan was quite shaken in his heart.

This punch involuntarily reminded him of the Abyss Divine Emperor.
