"Come. I'll use fifty percent this time." Yue Chuntao said, and a thick moonlight barrier appeared before her.
Yun Lintian turned toward Tian Yuhan and said. "You two retreat first and tell everyone to stay away from this place."
Tian Yuhan didn't say anything and took Ning Yue away from the mountain.
"Don't hold back. Let me see the legendary Heaven Piercing Sword Art." Yue Chuntao said with a serious expression.
Yun Lintian nodded firmly as he decided to use the ultimate move, Rending Heaven, directly.
He tightened his grip on the Heaven Piercing Sword, and his aura gradually surged. Clouds of dust arose, slowly forming into a vortex as he pointed the sword toward the sky.
Immediately, the sharp blade emitted a golden light, shooting into the sky like a golden pillar. The clouds stirred, and everyone in the secret land could feel a terrifying sword intent brewing in the air.
"Go." Yun Lintian uttered and swung the sword down. The golden pillar cut through the sky and descended toward Yue Chuntao, creating a golden curtain to blind everyone.
Yue Chuntao's eyes narrowed slightly. She pushed the barrier forward to meet the incoming golden sword fearlessly.
BOOOM—
The entire space trembled violently, and countless spatial rifts could be seen all over the place. The forest around the mountain was directly blown away, razing to the ground.
The commotion lasted a full minute until everything returned to its original state. The golden curtain gradually faded away along with the dust clouds.
Yun Lintian panted heavily as he stared at the moonlight barrier.
At this moment, a few cracks could be seen in the barrier. They were deep but not enough to break the barrier completely. This meant his ultimate attack was useless in front of a peak Divine Emperor.
"Although your sword intent is still weak, it's more than enough to threaten any Divine Sovereigns." Yue Chuntao dispersed the barrier and said. "The Heaven Piercing Sword Art is really exaggerated as it was recorded. I couldn't imagine how powerful Senior Sword God was in the past."
In the far distance, Tian Yuhan looked at the scene with a solemn expression. It was as he had expected; Yun Lintian with a sword was several times stronger. With this attack, she was certain that no one in the Divine Sovereign Realm could survive.
She brought Ning Yue over and said. "You didn't use the bloodline power."
Yun Lintian released the sword, letting it fly on its own, and said. "The bloodline power could indeed increase my strength, but I need to burn the blood origin to achieve it. It would take a long time to recover here. Furthermore, it would still be useless against a top Divine Emperor."
"Anyway, I roughly understand my current strength now. Thank you for helping me." Yun Lintian said sincerely.
"Wait until you reach the Divine King Realm. You should be able to use the bloodline power without burdening yourself much." Yue Chuntao said.
"What you've inside your body comes from the blood origin. It's the purest source of one's bloodline. The higher realm you reach, the stronger your bloodline becomes. But it also means a higher energy consumption."
"The Divine King Realm is the threshold of the divinity. Any divine practitioner in the world is not considered a true divine practitioner until they reach the Divine King Realm. It starts with creating a foundation, strengthening a spirit and Divine Core, going through tribulation, and entering a transforming process. The first five realms in the Divine Profound Realm are just a process of becoming a true divinity."
She paused briefly and said further. "Only when you become a Divine King can you control your power well. Both bloodline and a high-level profound art."
"I see." Yun Lintian nodded slowly. He felt as if he was listening to Hongyue's teachings at this moment.
Thinking of this, Yun Lintian looked at the tightly shut gate in his mind. He tried to push it open, but it didn't even budge an inch. Unfortunately, he still couldn't contact the Land of Beyond Heaven.
"I'll continue practicing now." Yun Lintian didn't want to waste time further. He built a simple hut and started practicing directly.
Seeing this, Yue Chuntao and the other two glanced at each other and went away.
***
While Yun Lintian was practicing, the Land of Beyond Heaven underwent another transformation. Yun Lintian's entry to the Divine Origin Realm caused a significant increase in the heaven and earth aura, including all eight elements, here.
Hongyue looked at the dark sky that was about to rain with a hint of surprise. "It seems he didn't slack off over there."
Standing on the side, Lauya looked at the lush green, towering tree in the distance with a hint of surprise. "The tree has grown a lot. He must have reached the Divine Origin Realm now."
"That's fast." Madam Leisure was surprised.
One had to know that Yun Lintian didn't obtain any relics even now. Theoretically, his progress should be very slow. It wasn't even been a year since he left for the Divine Realm, but he had already reached the Divine Origin Realm. This speed was faster than any heavenly genius she had seen.
"Seniors, when could he contact us?" Yun Qianxue, who was training inside the Land of Beyond Heaven, asked.
"He must at least step into the Divine King Realm," Lauya answered. "It should be a few years unless he discovers another relic."
Yun Qianxue was disappointed to hear this. While Yun Lintian's progress was fast, it was still far away from the Divine King Realm. This meant she wouldn't be able to see him for a long time.
"Hmm?" Suddenly, Lauya caught something. Her figure flashed and reappeared under the towering Tree of Life.
She gently touched the tree and closed her eyes. A moment later, she opened her eyes and said in surprise. "The World Tree? How could it still be alive?"
"The World Tree?" Madam Leisure came over and happened to hear it. She hurriedly asked. "What do you mean?"
Lauya thought for a moment and said. "The Tree of Life told me there's the World Tree on My King's side."
"What!? How is it possible?" Madam Leisure's face changed drastically.
The World Tree was originally a heavenly treasure in the Primordial Era and was rumored to be destroyed in the Primordial God War… How could it appear beside Yun Lintian?
