"The Kun Race."
Li Chunjun's figure materialized outside the Great World.
This Great World resembled that of the Immortal God Race—not particularly vast, but entirely occupied by the Kun Race.
According to legend, the Kun Race's bloodline traced back to the innate divine being, the Divine Kun.
In that era, before the Human Race's influence had spread across the starry sky, the Divine Kun led his people to settle in this Great World.
As time passed, the Human Race's territory expanded, inevitably bringing them into contact with the Kun Race.
Ultimately, the Kun Race's innate divine being was refined into an Immortal Artifact-level biological warship by the Immortal Alliance Leader, the Supreme Lawbringer, to serve as his personal vessel. This marked the beginning of the Kun Race's decline.
Yet for various reasons, the Human Race never completely eradicated the Kun Race.
Today, the Kun Race had flourished once more. They boasted not only numerous Ninth-Tier Kun but also four Quasi-Tenth-Tier Great Kun.
Each of these four Great Kun resembled a continent suspended in the Heavenly Vault, their colossal forms blotting out the sun and moon.
The Ninth-Tier Kun were equally awe-inspiring in size.
When they soared through the skies in massive formations, they created a spectacle unmatched in the Cosmos—a sight so magnificent that even Li Chunjun, who had come to this world, couldn't resist lingering for a moment to admire it.
Alas, this magnificent spectacle, a true wonder of the cosmos, would become a thing of the past after today.
"Eliminating the Ninth-Tier and Quasi-Tenth-Tier Great Kun in this group should raise my Life Level to 47," Li Chunjun calculated.
Yes, not Level 46, but Level 47.
He had been traveling for over a decade now.
Thanks to the Starry Sky Group's unparalleled void transmission technology, his travel efficiency was astonishingly high.
Moreover, among the thousands of foreign races, while many had only one Quasi-Tenth-Tier powerhouse, a significant number possessed two, three, or even four or five such elites.
After all, compared to the Human Race, some foreign races were naturally gifted and more easily cultivated to the Quasi-Tenth-Tier.
These two factors combined had accelerated his Life Level progression far beyond his initial expectations.
"Level 47... the Great Unification Realm..."
With this thought, Li Chunjun soared forward, charging directly toward the swarm of Great Kun.
His target was none other than the leading Quasi-Tenth-Tier Great Kun.
As he charged, Xing Wu and Yuan Yin, two of the world's top powerhouses, watched with eyes gleaming with anticipation.
"Even after witnessing Dao Venerable Li's divine might in the Great World countless times over the past decade, each sight remains profoundly awe-inspiring," Xing Wu remarked with a hint of awe.
"We, as Dao Venerables, sometimes encounter exceptionally talented Quasi-Tenth-Tier cultivators who provoke us and then flee into the Great World. Unable to manifest our Avatars there, we can only watch helplessly as they grow old and die. Yet Dao Venerable Li's void great dao allows him to perfectly conceal his aura, allowing him to enter the Great World without suffering any backlash."
"Mere trifles," Supreme Origin Sovereign dismissed. He cared little for Li Chunjun's ability to freely enter and exit the Great World; his true interest lay in the void great dao itself.
"Have you gleaned any insights?"
"Some. The void great dao seems akin to a composite great dao. I've detected traces of both the great dao of the void and the great dao of destruction within it," Xing Wu replied.
Supreme Origin Sovereign glanced at him. "You're correct. I've already tasked disciples skilled in the Void and Destruction with probing this power. With the Enlightenment Divine Tree's enhancement, they've made progress."
"They've touched the void great dao?" Xing Wu exclaimed in surprise.
The Starry Sky Group's efficiency was truly astonishing.
"Not so fast," Supreme Origin Sovereign said, shaking his head. "Let alone the void great dao, they haven't even truly touched the Void Law."
He pondered briefly. "We can only say they've progressed from grasping the Great Void Destruction Sword Intent to mastering the Void Sword Momentum."
"Sword Momentum."
This already represented a preliminary application of the power of law.
"If they have Sword Momentum, why not the Void Law?"
"That's the peculiar nature of the Void Law—it's exceptionally adept at concealing itself."
Supreme Origin Sovereign sighed. "We know the void great dao exists, and they've even developed the Void Sword Momentum, yet we can never grasp the core of this power. Not even the Void Law can touch it. It's as if this law simply doesn't exist. Truly astonishing."
"Theoretically, transitioning from Sword Momentum to the Void Law shouldn't be difficult. But considering the Void Law's unique nature, this outcome isn't surprising. As long as we continue observing, we'll soon reach the Void Law level. Once we touch that level, achieving the void great dao will be just one step away," Xing Wu said.
Supreme Origin Sovereign nodded.
He was about to speak when his expression suddenly shifted slightly.
Xing Wu immediately noticed the change. "What's wrong?"
"The Supreme Research Institute wants the Starry Sky Group to deploy a group of dao harmonization foreign races to the Kun Realm to test the limits of Li Chunjun's power," Supreme Origin Sovereign said.
"The Supreme Research Institute? Why would Ling Hui suddenly make this decision?"
"It was the Tian Wen Supreme Powerhouse." Supreme Origin Sovereign's expression turned grave. "This supreme powerhouse personally requested it from the Rotating Supremes."
"The Tian Wen Supreme Powerhouse?!" Xing Wu exclaimed, startled. "Isn't that supreme powerhouse deep within the great dao river? Why has he suddenly returned? And how did we not receive any advance notice?"
"We cannot refuse the demands of a supreme powerhouse," Supreme Origin Sovereign said, pausing. "Moreover, the reincarnated body of Supreme Powerhouse Gui Ling from the False God Hall seems to have emerged as well."
"Supreme Powerhouse Gui Ling? Didn't he already obtain the complete void great dao cultivation method from Li Chunjun? Why...?"
"Perhaps they've discovered something that needs to be verified through Li Chunjun."
Supreme Origin Sovereign spoke with a mix of envy and resignation. "Thirteen dao harmonization beings—if even one of them possesses a Dao Venerable who counters my Dao, facing this lineup would put my life at risk. What a grand scheme."
Xing Wu agreed, "I thought the Ultimate Powerhouses would take longer to return from the great dao river and begin their actions against him. By then, we should have gathered enough resources. I never expected... they would move so quickly."
Supreme Origin Sovereign watched the figure in the Void, who had already annihilated the Quasi-Tenth-Tier Great Kun and pierced through the encirclement of Ninth-Tier Great Kuns.
The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind it.
The progenitor divine being, currently wreaking havoc in the Great Kun Realm, likely never imagined that he would soon become the target of other Ultimate Powerhouses.
Lost in thought, the Supreme Sovereign seemed to receive an urgent prompting and immediately ceased hesitating.
Positioned outside the Great Kun Realm, his true body actively provided coordinates. Within the expanding range of the great dao light net, a vortex began to rapidly expand, resembling a black hole from another dimension. In the blink of an eye, it had grown to hundreds of miles in diameter.
Li Chunjun, who was charging toward a second Kun Swarm led by a Quasi-Tenth-Tier Great Kun, immediately sensed the disturbance in the great dao light net.
Over the past decade, Li Chunjun had relentlessly hunted Foreign Races. Though each race was impoverished, their sheer numbers made up for it.
Even assuming a Ninth-Tier Foreign Race's wealth at ten billion and a Quasi-Tenth-Tier's at three hundred billion, his accumulated fortune had still reached several hundred trillion.
He converted all these resources into Dao Pills through the Creation Fortune Merchant Guild.
The astonishing cultivation speed granted by his Life Level, combined with millions of Dao Pills, had allowed him to achieve profound mastery not only over the twenty-three great daos he had already mastered, but also over the remaining twenty-six, bringing them to the very edge of dao unification.
In a sense, he was already capable of breaking through to the Great Unification Realm—evolving the great dao light net and carving out his own Great World.
Thus, he immediately sensed the disturbance in the great dao light net.
He could even sense the number of beings being transmitted.
"So, they're finally making their move?"
Li Chunjun quietly sensed the number of beings being transmitted.
Dao unification: Thirteen Venerables.
This was a far greater force than the previous assault, which had consisted of a god above gods and the Progenitor of All Demons.
Beyond the Thirteen Venerables of dao unification, Li Chunjun sensed a familiar presence.
This familiarity stemmed from a resonance at the level of the great dao of the soul—the instinctive tremor of a lower-tier soul dao entity facing a higher-tier one.
"Supreme Powerhouse Gui Ling? No, it's Gui Ling's reincarnated body! Wait, besides Gui Ling, there's another individual whose disturbance of the great dao light net... surpasses the combined influence of the Thirteen Venerables and Gui Ling's reincarnated body..."
An Ultimate Powerhouse!
The true body of an Ultimate Powerhouse!
Finally, an Ultimate Powerhouse had lost patience and was about to strike.
Yet Li Chunjun remained utterly calm.
He had long anticipated this moment.
Multiple sources had warned him that the Human Race would never easily relinquish their hold on an innate divine being like himself—especially a progenitor divine being who had pioneered a new Dao.
"Let me see, then, what an Ultimate Powerhouse truly possesses... Hmm?"
Just as Li Chunjun resolved to confront the Ultimate Powerhouse's true body head-on, the auras of both Ultimate Powerhouses vanished simultaneously.
They hadn't vanished entirely; they had merely concealed themselves.
Though their concealment techniques were remarkably advanced, the forty-nine great daos resonated and sensed each other, forming the great dao light net.
Li Chunjun had already elevated all forty-nine great daos to the point of dao unification. With these unified forces operating in harmony, even the mightiest Ultimate Powerhouses couldn't truly evade his perception when they approached his vicinity.
In Li Chunjun's eyes, the two Ultimate Powerhouses' actions seemed utterly redundant.
After a moment's contemplation, he understood their motives: "They still can't gauge my true capabilities. They want to witness my methods firsthand during my battle with the Thirteen Venerables? Then let them have their wish."
Channeling his Mind Power, Li Chunjun's movements remained swift. He quickly reached the second Kun Swarm in the Great Kun Realm and slew the Quasi-Tenth-Tier Great Kun leading the group.
At that moment, he feigned finally sensing something, abruptly soaring into the sky and fleeing the battlefield at maximum speed.
Almost as soon as he broke free from the battlefield, the entire Great Kun Realm began to tremble violently.
It was as if thirteen blazing suns were about to shatter the atmosphere and plunge toward the earth, as on an ordinary planet.
The cataclysmic scene defied description, making the apocalypse seem tame by comparison.
"Their true bodies can't enter the Great Kun Realm, but to deal with me, they must act in their true forms. So, they're combining their power to destroy the entire realm?"
Li Chunjun quickly grasped the dao unification beings' plan.
However, glancing back at the awe-inspiring sight of the Kun roaming the Heavenly Vault...
Though he had slain the two Quasi-Tenth-Tier Great Kun leaders and annihilated numerous Ninth-Tier Great Kun during his escape, he had no intention of destroying this world.
By now, he had already soared into the sky, hurtling toward the outer reaches of the Great World.
Sensing his emergence, the Thirteen Venerables swiftly formed an encirclement, instantly trapping him within their formation.
