Chapter 1397: Supporting Yourself

Recently, the Three Realms God Domain had become extremely famous. However, many God Domains still did not regard it as a true opponent—at most, they saw it as a faction with some potential.

Who would have thought that the Token Core would end up being taken first by the Three Realms God Domain? This left everyone completely dumbfounded. The Third-Grade God Domains had been wary of one another, tense and on guard, only to realize in the end that it had been snatched away by someone else altogether—it felt as though all their efforts had been wasted.

“Damn it! To think it was taken by a mere First-Grade God Domain! And now… they’ve taken the token and fled to the Mortal Realm!”

The first to charge over were naturally the more powerful Sacred Peak God Domain and Myriad Heavens God Domain, arriving almost simultaneously. The two great enemies locked eyes with each other, their gazes filled with intense killing intent.

But with the Token Core no longer in their hands, no matter how overwhelming their killing intent was, they could not start fighting. Moreover, the Token Core was no longer in the Three Realms God Domain either—their attention could only shift to the region where the token now was—

The Mortal Realm!

One by one, their eyes turned icy cold. After exchanging a glance, they all rushed toward the Mortal Realm. Since the Token Core was no longer here, there was no need to stay—what mattered now was killing Yi Tianyun.

The Token Core was the key. Destroying his faction would not grant them even the slightest benefit regarding the Token Core.

Thus, the Domain Lords who rushed over immediately turned and charged toward Yi Tianyun’s location without pausing. Logically speaking, once one obtained the Token Core, the best place to hide was within one’s own territory.

Leaving one’s own domain and staying outside was the act of a fool. As long as one endured for a month, everything would be deemed successful.

Therefore, losses were to be expected. Yet Yi Tianyun had chosen to leave his own God Domain—an extremely reckless decision in their eyes, utterly brainless.

If it were them, they would have immediately retreated to their own territory and defended it to the death, slaughtering any invader without mercy!

Soon, vast armies surged toward Yi Tianyun. Meanwhile, Yi Tianyun calmly observed the situation in this region. He had released many pets as scouts, using them as eyes to monitor the surroundings.

Since the distance was not far, information could be relayed quickly, allowing him to know exactly what was happening. Fortunately, none of them attacked the Three Realms God Domain—instead, they were all coming straight for him.

“So… they’re all coming,”

Yi Tianyun’s gaze turned cold. He was clad in jet-black armor—the Evil Heaven Monarch Set—and tightly gripped the Stellar Divine Spear in his hand. The divine imprints on it flickered as everything had already been prepared.

Before long, the first to tear through space and arrive was the Domain Lord of Sacred Peak God Domain, followed closely by the Domain Lord of Myriad Heavens God Domain. These two peak Domain Lords possessed identical cultivation levels—both at the late stage of Mid-Level Heavenly Venerable, just one step away from the Upper-Level Heavenly Venerable realm.

Breaking through to Upper-Level Heavenly Venerable was no easy task. Reaching the late Mid-Level Heavenly Venerable stage was already extraordinarily defiant of heaven—especially in the Outer God Domain, where it placed them at the absolute pinnacle.

Whoosh!

The moment the Domain Lord of Myriad Heavens God Domain appeared, he wasted no time and immediately attacked Yi Tianyun. Cold light flashed in his hands—upon closer inspection, they were actually claw-shaped weapons!

It was rare for cultivators to use claw-type weapons, let alone Heavenly Venerable–grade spirit treasures. This surprised Yi Tianyun greatly.

However, he had no time to dwell on it. He instantly unleashed his Frenzied Damage Mode, activating his strongest power to block the Domain Lord’s attack.

The power erupting from the Domain Lord of Myriad Heavens surged to its absolute peak. The space of the Mortal Realm was relatively fragile—wherever he passed, the void was torn apart, everything shattering into fragments!

“Hand over the Token Core!”

Cold light flashed in the Domain Lord’s eyes as he viciously slashed toward Yi Tianyun.

“Heaven-Slaying Divine Art — Water and Fire Revolving Spear!”

Water and fire attributes overlapped simultaneously. What should have been mutually repulsive forces fused together instead, erupting into terrifying power within the Stellar Divine Spear. Added to that was the overwhelmingly tyrannical strength of the Dragon God bloodline—one sweeping strike shattered the void!

Boom!

The two exchanged a single move, detonating a massive swath of shattered space. Both were forced backward—astonishingly, it was a draw!

“As expected of the Domain Lord of Myriad Heavens… your strength really is formidable,” Yi Tianyun said, feeling a numbness in his hands. The opponent’s claw weapon had raked fiercely across his spear, leaving several deep gouges on the Stellar Divine Spear.

Sure enough, Dao-grade weapons were still far inferior to Heavenly Venerable spirit treasures. In a head-on clash, he was definitely at a disadvantage.

At the same time, Yi Tianyun clearly realized that there was still a significant gap between himself and a Mid-Level Heavenly Venerable. Even with full power unleashed, barely achieving a draw was enough to show just how terrifying his opponent was.

The key point was that the Domain Lord of Myriad Heavens had exploded with most of his strength right from the start, without any hesitation. Unlike before, he did not hold back just because Yi Tianyun was at the Divine Monarch level.

He had gone all out, intending to instantly kill Yi Tianyun and seize the Token Core. Yet not only did he fail—he was instead blasted backward.

Yi Tianyun was surprised, but the Domain Lord was even more shocked. His original plan had been to eliminate Yi Tianyun at the fastest possible speed, seize the Token Core, and prevent any complications.

Who would have thought that something he was certain he could take would be blocked by a Divine Monarch?

“How can a Divine Monarch be this strong?!” The Domain Lord of Myriad Heavens was utterly shaken. He had thought Yi Tianyun was merely a Divine Monarch with exceptional luck who had happened to obtain the Token Core. Now, it seemed he had been completely wrong.

Beside them, the Domain Lord of Sacred Peak God Domain was equally stunned. Turning toward the Domain Lord of Myriad Heavens, he asked in disbelief, “Aren’t you working together with him?”

“Who’s working with him?!” the Domain Lord of Myriad Heavens roared furiously. “We have never allied with the Three Realms God Domain! They are absolutely not being supported by us behind the scenes!”

“If it’s not you supporting them, then who is?” the Domain Lord of Sacred Peak asked.

He could see no sign of lying in the Domain Lord’s expression—which meant this was the truth.

If that was the case, then all the Heavenly Venerables he had sent out had died at the hands of some unknown force… or perhaps at the hands of this bizarre Divine Monarch standing before him.

“You ask me? Then who should I ask?” the Domain Lord of Myriad Heavens snapped.

“Ask me,” Yi Tianyun said with a smile from the side. “I can answer you.”

“Then who is supporting you?!” the Domain Lord of Myriad Heavens almost laughed in anger.

“I support myself,” Yi Tianyun replied with an answer that made them want to cough up blood. “Any problem with that?”

It sounded like he hadn’t answered at all—but that was the truth. From start to finish, he had carried everything on his own.

Whether in the past or now, it had always been the same.

“Are you playing with us?!”

The two Domain Lords—Domain Lord Wantian and Domain Lord Shengfeng—erupted in rage and attacked Yi Tianyun simultaneously. With a wave of their hands, their Heavenly Venerable spirit treasures burst forth—each of them wielding two Heavenly Venerable–grade treasures.

One was a low-grade Heavenly Venerable spirit treasure, the other a mid-grade one—an almost standard configuration. Yet the difference in power was enormous, fully unleashing their strength to the extreme.

Domain Lord Shengfeng’s Heavenly Venerable spirit treasure was extremely brutal: a small Sacred Peak. He hurled it toward Yi Tianyun, and the tiny peak instantly expanded into an enormous Sacred Mountain, like a massive planet, crashing down toward him.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Layer after layer of space shattered under the impact of the gigantic Sacred Peak as it pressed toward Yi Tianyun, attempting to grind him into dust inch by inch. This was merely the power of a low-grade Heavenly Venerable spirit treasure, yet in his hands it erupted with terrifying might.

This was the difference brought by cultivation strength—even a low-grade Heavenly Venerable treasure could unleash dreadful power.

Domain Lord Wantian attacked as well, still favoring close combat. His other Heavenly Venerable spirit treasure turned out to be a pair of wings. Once equipped, his body transformed into a streak of light, tearing through space toward Yi Tianyun. In the blink of an eye, he was already in front of him—so fast it was beyond belief!

This speed utterly eclipsed Yi Tianyun’s previous limits, surpassing them by a wide margin. It was the result of terrifying cultivation combined with a heaven-defying treasure effect—Extreme Speed Assault!

“So fast… way too fast!”

Yi Tianyun could barely track it with his eyes. It was the first time he had ever witnessed such speed. The Slaughter God Heavenly Venerable could also unleash astonishing speed, but his power had been suppressed and he was severely injured, so Yi Tianyun had never truly experienced the might of a Mid-Heavenly Venerable.

As for Upper Heavenly Venerables—there was no need to mention them. He had never felt that level at all.

“Level up!”

Ding! Congratulations, player ‘Yi Tianyun’, you have successfully broken through to God Monarch Sixth Layer!

“Level up again!”

Ding! Congratulations, player ‘Yi Tianyun’, you have successfully broken through to God Monarch Seventh Layer!

Two consecutive level-ups in one breath. His base attributes skyrocketed, his aura surging to a brand-new peak. Yet even now, all he could see was still nothing more than an afterimage.

Even with the Kunpeng Bloodline fully unleashed, he still couldn’t compare—there was a vast gap.

“Slaying Heaven Divine Art — Illusory Earth Circulation!”

The power of Illusory Metal and earth fused together, forming an incomparably thick defensive layer around his body. Since he couldn’t escape or dodge, he chose to defend head-on.

Puchi!

The seemingly indestructible defense was pierced by the sharp claws, as easily as tearing through paper. This was the perfect combination of speed and claws. Yi Tianyun finally understood why Domain Lord Wantian used claw-type weapons—paired with such terrifying speed, they were truly invincible!

Close combat had always been the most lethal form of offense. Domain Lord Wantian’s melee strength was already overwhelming, and with the wings enhancing his speed, his advantage was brought to perfection.

Once he closed in, the battle was essentially over.

“It’s over!”

Domain Lord Wantian’s eyes shone with excitement—he was about to seize the token core. Domain Lord Shengfeng grew anxious on the side, but no matter how much he tried to accelerate, he simply couldn’t match that speed.

The experts of the Wantian Divine Domain behind them were delighted.

“He got close—victory!”

Closing the distance had always meant victory.

Puchi…

With a single tearing strike, even the terrifyingly tough Evil Heavenly Monarch Armor was ripped apart! Everything seemed like worthless scrap before that overwhelming power.

Yet as the claws continued to pierce through, numbers began flashing in Yi Tianyun’s mind!

“Upgrade Kunpeng Bloodline!”

Ding! Successfully consumed 5,000 Compressed Frenzy Points. Kunpeng Bloodline upgraded to Second Grade!

Second Grade Kunpeng Bloodline: speed increased from 100× to 300×!

Whoosh!

With Kunpeng Bloodline and Phoenix Bloodline stacked together, his speed instantly surged to a terrifying 500× boost! In theory, the Phoenix Bloodline alone could grant 500–600× speed.

However, its grade was somewhat low, and its effectiveness diminished at higher levels, leaving it at about a 500× boost. Even so, it was already astonishing. Just as the claws were about to strike him—

Yi Tianyun performed an emergency displacement, shifting backward by one meter in an instant. At the moment of explosive acceleration, he was actually slightly faster than Domain Lord Wantian!

Though it was only a tiny margin, faster was faster—and that alone meant he had the upper hand.

He narrowly avoided the fatal strike, though the residual force still tore into his body. Five deep gashes appeared across him. The Evil Heavenly Monarch Armor was shredded, and five deep wounds were carved into his flesh. The power was terrifying beyond words.

Had he been even a moment slower, he would have been torn into five pieces.

After dodging, he didn’t linger. He immediately retreated further back.

“What!?” Domain Lord Wantian was utterly shocked when he realized Yi Tianyun had evaded his attack.

At that moment, the Sacred Peak was descending. With no time to chase Yi Tianyun, Domain Lord Wantian swung his hand back and slammed into the mountain.

Boom!

The collision erupted violently. Yi Tianyun seized the chance to escape the area and finally caught his breath. The wounds on his body rapidly healed. His regenerative ability was astonishing—both Phoenix Bloodline and Dragon God Bloodline possessed incredible healing effects.

“Too strong… truly too strong…”

Yi Tianyun frowned as he looked at the five rapidly healing scars on his chest, a lingering fear in his heart.

He could tell—the opponent still wasn’t using his full strength. Even without going all out, he was already this terrifying. If Domain Lord Wantian fully unleashed his power, just how far would it reach?

Even after breaking through to God Monarch Seventh Layer, the gap remained enormous. Sometimes, raw combat power alone wasn’t enough—speed was just as crucial.

After all, in this world, speed reigns supreme. No matter how strong your attack, it’s useless if you can’t hit the target.

Frenzy Damage Mode only increased power—it didn’t enhance speed or defense. Speed still relied on the explosive activation of bloodlines. Without it, closing the distance was impossible.

This battle was the clearest proof. At God Monarch Seventh Layer, Yi Tianyun’s combat strength was already formidable—but against Domain Lord Wantian’s speed, he was nearly toyed with.
