Chapter 5280 A Dead End
Xiao Yan then examined the second memory.
"Shattered stars endure countless tribulations, only to rise again after destruction."
The second memory is even more suffocating; the scene shifts to a giant, vibrant star.
A primordial god stood proudly, his gaze resolute, his aura imposing.
However, the next moment, he raised his giant hand, gathered all his strength, and slammed it hard against the top of his head!
Shattered Stars...
He shattered his ancestral star and embarked on the path of cultivation anew.
This is indeed a good way to continuously improve oneself, and what is needed is the courage to start over again and again.
"It took me a hundred Star Shatterings to break through to the Ancient Realm. Compared to the number of Star Shatterings I had done before, it's nothing."
However, Xiao Yan understood that his breakthrough to the Ancestral Realm was all thanks to the power of the Emperor's Heart he obtained when he broke through to the fifth level.
Once one shatters an Ancestral Realm Star, it will take a considerable amount of time and effort to break through again.
Similarly, this second memory is not suitable for him either.
Although they weren't suitable, these memories were providing Xiao Yan with ideas on how to cultivate next.
The third and final memory is the most tragic and the most insane.
A space completely distorted and torn apart by the power of the raging stars.
The figure of a primordial god was faintly visible within it. He was like a runaway black hole, recklessly devouring the destructive energy torrents generated by the forced detonation of several surrounding stars, an energy capable of annihilating everything!
His body was like an inflated balloon, his skin cracking inch by inch, and his golden blood was evaporated by terrifying energy before it could even flow out.
Muscle fibers snapped with a groan, and bones cracked with a teeth-grinding sound.
His seven orifices spewed forth tangible energy flames, and his entire body resembled a super celestial body about to explode.
He wasn't unaware of the limits; rather, he was deliberately pushing them beyond them!
He was actively guiding this energy, which was enough to kill him instantly, to impact the invisible ancient barrier within his body.
"Not enough...not enough! Give me—break!!!"
The screams of the souls seemed insignificant in the energy storm.
He squeezed out the last bit of his willpower, even deliberately detonating a portion of his own essence to generate a stronger suction force, drawing more destructive energy into his body.
In an instant, his body erupted with a light more dazzling than the explosion of the surrounding stars, like the singularity at the beginning of the universe.
My vision was swallowed by white light, and my memory came to an abrupt end, leaving endless suspense.
Did he succeed? Or did he turn into cosmic dust in that ultimate brilliance?
This memory offered no answers, only leaving behind a reckless, death-defying, and madly determined will, deeply imprinted in Xiao Yan's soul.
Returning from the three memories, Xiao Yan took a deep breath. Although the Primordial God Clan possessed powerful bloodlines, without exception, their cultivation was also a matter of facing death to live.
Only in this way can we gain a sliver of hope.
Only after seeing the memories of these three original gods did Xiao Yan realize the gap between them.
His former avatar was the King of the Primal Gods, the son of King Zhuo, and possessed the royal lineage of the Primal God race.
Based on the foundation of the Colossal Primordial God, he comprehended the Colossal True Form, another form of the Colossal Primordial God, and was able to break through to the Ancestral Realm.
The rest of the Primal Gods all cultivated using the most extreme and cruel methods, even disregarding their own lives, in order to have a chance to break through.
"How about it? Can we find a solution?" Ye Beijing tilted her head, her eyes curiously scrutinizing Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan shook his head.
"All three memories are illusions. Only true Primordial Gods can cultivate them. If I were like them, I would face a nine-out-of-ten chance of death, with the disadvantages outweighing the advantages, and there would be no hope at all."
This is the result Xiao Yan saw. He has extremely high comprehension, so he understands even more clearly that the path of the Primordial God is not a path that can be forcibly followed.
If the path is blocked, forcibly attempting to breach the ancient realm will only lead to failure and a dead end.
Xiao Yan did not tell Ye Beijing that his original god clone might still exist. The Extinction Division was extremely mysterious, and he had to be vigilant at all times.
"There's really no way around it. A clone is still a clone; it can't be integrated into the original body, and it is indeed a problem."
Xiao Yan murmured, "Although the Evil Lord's Life Shaping Technique is powerful, it still has its drawbacks."
His cultivation speed was already quite fast, and he was even heading towards the peak. However, for some reason, Xiao Yan felt that even though he had broken through to the fifth level, he would have almost no chance of winning if he were to fight Ye Beijing.
"It seems it's truly time to say goodbye. Before I depart, could you please grant me one request, Miss Ye?"
Xiao Yan clasped his hands in a respectful gesture, showing respect to Ye Beijing despite having rejected him multiple times.
Deep down, Xiao Yan truly regarded Ye Beijing as a senior.
"Although we are not husband and wife in reality, we are quite compatible and we are all family. There's no need to be so polite," Ye Beijing said with a smile. Xiao Yan smiled awkwardly and didn't say anything more.
"I would like to have a match with Miss Ye to see how strong I am now," Xiao Yan said, then clasped his hands in a fist salute once more.
"Want to fight me? Of course. I will suppress my strength to the fifth level and fight you. If we can fight to a draw, then the opponent, the Void Lord, will be more than a match for me."
Ye Beijing smiled and nodded in agreement, while Xiao Yan looked at her seriously.
"If I don't suppress it, am I not even qualified to fight?" Xiao Yan asked.
"The higher the level, the more strengths each person has within the same realm. There is no absolute power, but the premise remains the same: within the same realm," Ye Beijing replied to Xiao Yan.
"Of course, what I think doesn't apply to you. Your Excellency's power allows you to transcend levels."
"But compared to me, if I don't suppress him, my lord really has no chance of winning."
Ye Beijing didn't hide anything from Xiao Yan; what was needed now was the truth, to make Xiao Yan realize his own shortcomings.
Because of his encounter with Ye Beijing, he was essentially wondering if he would have the strength to fight if he were to actually meet the true form of the Void Lord.
"We don't need to fight here, as it will result in losses. Sparring is not a way to exert our full strength and is different from a real battle, so we can't really fight each other."
Ye Beijing shook his head, indicating that sparring was useless. A real battle must be fought with all one's might, not with the restraints of sparring.
"Through the Jade, one can enter the arena of the Chaos God War. It is no different from the real one, but it is not the real one, so the battle can be restored to a more realistic state."
"I'll contact 'One' right away and have it make arrangements."
After Ye Beijing finished speaking, the precious jade appeared in her palm. She transmitted her voice, but received no reply for a long time.
"Tch, it must be in seclusion, it's ignoring me." Ye Beijing puffed out her cheeks, looking rather cute.
"Perhaps she's angry because Miss Ye spoke too impulsively earlier. Let me try."
Xiao Yan made his point clear beforehand, so that he would have an explanation if "Yi" responded to him immediately later.
