Gifting the Sacred Heaven Dao Fire Art, Using His Body as a Furnace to Refine a Natal Dragon Crystal!

The ancient city fell silent.

Silence was Cambridge Bridge tonight.

At that moment, the members of the city's many factions had all witnessed Great Saint Ao Xu's fall with their own eyes.

He was a royal Great Saint who could have founded a Dao lineage!

And just like that, the curtain fell on him in desolation!

Great Saints of the Primordial Imperial Clans were generally stronger in battle than their human counterparts.

Judging by the terrifying presence Great Saint Ao Xu had displayed earlier, he had undoubtedly seemed to have a seventy-thirty advantage over Li Nantian!

But what no one expected was that the supposed seventy-thirty split meant Li Nantian needed three moves, and Great Saint Ao Xu split apart in seven seconds.

"Lord Li Nantian has always kept his mountains and rivers hidden, acting low-key in his daily life. Who would have thought he was a Great Saint!"

An elder of an influential family took a deep breath, his white beard trembling. He could barely conceal the shock in his heart.

And Li Nantian was no ordinary Great Saint.

Someone capable of wiping out Ancient Saint Ao Xu in the space of a breath had surely reached a terrifying level of strength beyond imagination.

"He killed a Great Saint of a Primordial Imperial Clan just like that. The Longevity Li Family truly lives up to its name!"

A middle-aged man whose bearing was as deep and still as an abyss and as towering as a mountain sighed softly, his gaze full of emotion.

The Li Lineage had stood in the Primordial Dao Domain for endless ages, glorious and resplendent beyond measure. As for the extent of its hidden foundations, no one knew.

As the most mysterious Immortal Clan in the Primordial Dao Domain, it had shown signs of securing its place as the foremost family over the past epoch.

Fearing neither the Great Void Dragon Court nor the consequences, it had forcefully wiped out a Great Saint and a royal crown prince. Perhaps only the Li Lineage dared do such a thing.

"A Great Saint-level natal dragon crystal can't be measured in value. If it were put up for auction, it would only be traded for other treasures!"

The ruler of a dynasty watched with a burning gaze, but he only dared admire it quietly from afar, not daring to harbor any improper thoughts.

Great Saint Ao Xu had just provided the best example.

Even if it were traded for other treasures, few would dare openly offend the Great Void Dragon Court. It would be unwise indeed.

"Thoughtful of you."

Li Xunyuan nodded slightly and pocketed Great Saint Ao Xu's natal dragon crystal.

His Innate Chaos Dao Body required enormous resources to break through, and a Great Saint's dragon crystal was just what he needed.

Buzz!

After accepting the dragon crystal, Li Xunyuan flicked a finger.

A dazzling streak of divine light shot from his fingertip, piercing toward the space between Li Nantian's brows.

Li Nantian frowned but made no move to defend himself, allowing the divine light to enter his sea of consciousness.

Then a vast, profound body of information about a sacred art slowly unfolded.

Ancient characters, deep and brilliant as a starry sky, came together to form a perfect scroll painting of space and time.

"This is..." Li Nantian's expression trembled as ripples spread through his heart.

Li Xunyuan smiled faintly. "The Sacred Heaven Dao Fire Art is a superior sacred-tier divine ability. This divine son won't take your things for nothing. Accept it!"

A sacred-tier divine ability!

Cultivators throughout Heaven-Subduing Ancient City cried out in astonishment, their eyes brimming with envy.

Sacred-tier divine abilities, also called sacred-Dao divine abilities, were the finest divine abilities and secret arts aside from emperor-Dao immortal arts and Supreme methods!

Such a supreme secret art could serve as a nation-guarding treasure in the ancient kingdoms and dynasties outside!

Yet the Li Lineage's divine son had casually given one away. That was the difference!

Overjoyed, Li Nantian immediately bowed in respectful thanks. "Nantian thanks the divine son for his reward!"

Even for members of the Li Lineage, cultivating a sacred-tier divine ability was no easy matter. Exchanging for one required a vast number of merit points.

This divine ability happened to complement his azure-gold sacred flame, making it an exceptionally rare treasure!

The Sacred Heaven Dao Fire Art ranked among the superior sacred-tier divine abilities in the Li Lineage's Immortal Pavilion.

Exchanging for it cost three hundred million merit points, equivalent to three years of his salary!

Li Nantian had wanted this sacred art for a long time.

But he had recently been busy managing affairs in the ancient city and couldn't spare the time to return to the Li Lineage. Today, his dream had come true ahead of schedule.

"The Li Lineage's divine son isn't just peerlessly handsome, he's so powerful and generous too. I love him, I love him!"

The young women who had arrived later in the ancient city all fell in love with Li Xunyuan at first sight, expressing their admiration without the slightest restraint.

"Such should a beloved be: never parted until our hair turns white. If you ask when lovesickness shall end, only when we meet again..."

A princess of an ancient kingdom murmured lovestruck words, her gaze never leaving Li Xunyuan from beginning to end.

He had killed Crown Prince Ao Xing, who had opened nine Life Palaces, with a single move!

Even the heaven's chosen who likewise possessed nine Life Palaces felt a profound sense of helplessness at that moment and were deeply wary.

The gap between them and the Li Lineage's divine son was simply too great!

Whether in status, strength, or appearance, the gulf was like a heavenly chasm, impossible to cross.

Perhaps only the true leaders of the ancient royal clans, longevity families, and ancient dynasties could contend with him!

"I don't much like crowded places. Lead the way!" Li Xunyuan ordered.

The women around him looked ready to strip him and eat him up, making Li Xunyuan uncomfortable all over.

"Divine son, please follow me."

Li Nantian nodded respectfully, then led Li Xunyuan and his two companions away to the Star-Picking Pavilion, an area under the Li Lineage's control!

There was no need to worry about safety here. With the Li Lineage's many experts standing guard, their divine son's safety was assured.

[Congratulations, host. The sign-in location has been activated. Would you like to sign in?]

In the Star-Picking Pavilion of Heaven-Subduing Ancient City, the system's notification sounded in Li Xunyuan's mind.

"Sign in!" Li Xunyuan said.

[Congratulations, host. Sign-in successful. Divine abilities obtained: Step Straight into the Azure Clouds, Boundless Strength!]

[Step Straight into the Azure Clouds: ignores all formations, restrictions, seals, and the like. Grants immunity to all tangible and intangible control. No one can control the host.]

[Boundless Strength: strength is inexhaustible. The stronger the physique, the greater the strength. The physical limit of every realm can be easily surpassed. There is no upper limit and no end!]

"These two divine abilities look pretty impressive. They aren't as outrageous as the previous one!"

Li Xunyuan offered a rare word of praise. The Throw Oneself into Another's Arms divine ability he had received from his last sign-in was such a bizarre skill.

It had nearly crowned him with the title of "pervert"!

Compared with that divine ability, even the coronavirus from his awakened memories of his past life couldn't crown him as well!

Li Xunyuan seriously suspected that if he designated himself as the target of Throw Oneself into Another's Arms, he would surely throw himself into the other person's hands.

Fortunately, he hadn't stubbornly used it again that day, or he would have lost a great deal of face!

A lifetime's good name could easily have been ruined!

"Better to arrive at the right time than early. I can use the dragon crystal to make a breakthrough in the Life Palace Realm."

Li Xunyuan smiled faintly.

The Boundless Strength divine ability he had obtained from this sign-in was a perfect match for his Innate Chaos Sacred Body Dao Embryo.

The stronger his physique, the greater his strength, and he could easily surpass the physical limit. It was practically tailor-made for him!

Buzz!

Light flashed in Li Xunyuan's hand as he took out the dragon crystal.

A miniature white true dragon swam incessantly within the crystal, letting out deafening roars.

"Hmph! You're nothing but a dead, ownerless object. This divine son shall suppress you!"

Li Xunyuan snorted coldly and activated his Innate Chaos Sacred Body Dao Embryo. A chaotic immortal apparition flickered into view behind him.

Six mysterious phenomena also emerged, naturally evolving into a whole world, bearing a supreme presence that suppressed everything!

Refining a mere natal dragon crystal was simple. It posed no difficulty for him.

Using his body as a furnace and the supreme chaotic immortal apparition as the Dao fire of heaven and earth, he forcibly refined Great Saint Ao Xu's natal dragon crystal.

Although Li Xunyuan could not completely refine and absorb a Great Saint-level dragon crystal,

he could use it again and again until it was completely exhausted.

As Li Xunyuan refined the dragon crystal, his presence rose steadily!

Rumble!

Endless tribulation clouds suddenly filled the sky. Pavilions and palaces, along with humanoid heavenly tribulations, appeared deep within the clouds, creating an immense spectacle!

"That's where the Star-Picking Pavilion is, in the area controlled by the Li Lineage. Could the Li Lineage's divine son have caused this phenomenon of heaven and earth?"
