"Abyss Gate?" Demon Cloud God King and Demon Sea God King both showed a hint of confusion.

Only Broken Sword God King showed a hint of surprise, as if he understood something. Evidently, he was the only one who had heard of the Abyss Gate.

"Abyss Gate."

"It is a mysterious place within the 'Abyss' of the Eternal Relics, that emerges only after the Abyss has accumulated energy over eons." Abyss Divine Emperor slowly explained, "You should know, among the numerous Eternal Relics, there are indeed many peculiar places."

"Mm."

"I've heard that similar places exist in the Immortal Heaven and Earth and the Long River Ruins." Demon Cloud God King and Demon Sea God King nodded in succession.

Abyss Gate? They had not heard of it.

But each of the sixteen Eternal Relics is brimming with great secrets. Their true forms often venture into the Eternal Relics, so they know of some places.

"Abyss Gate."

"It is the most unique place within the Abyss, rare even in the vast cosmos." Abyss Divine Emperor said, "You may have a lifespan of millions of years, but encountering it in this life is indeed a stroke of opportunity and fate."

All three God Kings listened attentively.

"Divine Emperor," Demon Cloud God King couldn't help but ask, "According to what you say, can all powerful entities from the various Dark Domains enter?"

The various Dark Domains find it extremely difficult to directly reach one another.

However, any Eternal Relic is very special, existing in a unique space-time, not belonging to any Time River, not even influenced by the Eternal River, and can connect to any Dark Domain... extremely mysterious.

"Mm."

"The Abyss has a profound impact, and similar 'Abyss Dominators' like me are not few in the vast cosmos." Abyss Divine Emperor slowly said, "Other Abyss Dominators should be able to deduce the imminent opening of the Abyss Gate."

The three God Kings glanced at each other.

"Divine Emperor, can only contemporary powerful entities enter? What about the powerful entities within the Eternal Relics?" Demon Sea God King asked respectfully.

In terms of strength, the three of them are considered top among over two hundred God Kings in the Divine Realm, especially Broken Sword God King who dominates an era.

However, compared to countless God Kings in the history of Heart Dream Universe Realm, and countless God Kings in the universe's history, they are not as dazzling.

Many historical God Kings.

As time passes, they may not be able to manifest in normal cosmic space-time... but can still live in Eternal Relics, even fight within them.

"They cannot enter."

"Only contemporary powerful entities who are recognized by the Eternal River can." Abyss Divine Emperor stated, "That's why I chose you."

"Go, you have the opportunity to progress to the Fourth Step of the Eternal Dao."

"But it's extremely dangerous."

"The cultivation on the Abyss Road... is accompanied by death." Abyss Divine Emperor said calmly, "Among the extreme special dangers of the Abyss Gate, such as 'Abyssal Reflection' and 'Void Soulfire'... all could completely annihilate you."

"I won't force you."

"Whether to go or not, is up to you." Abyss Divine Emperor gently closed his eyes, "I'll return in a while, tell me your answer."

Buzz~

The vague figure of Abyss Divine Emperor vanished, evidently slipping into the Time River... As a Divine Emperor, he can contain his own timeline, unwilling to waste any time under the pressure of lifespan.

"Shall we go?"

"Is there a real risk of perishing?" The three God Kings glanced at each other, their eyes showing a hint of struggle.

A God King hides their original essence in their homeland Star Domain, making it hard to perish, even if the Divine Emperor of the same universe cannot easily deal with them. This is a fact.

This is why many God Kings do not wish to submit to any Divine Emperor, enjoying solitary freedom.

However!

This does not mean God Kings cannot be killed... For instance, the Supreme can easily kill any God King of their home universe.

There are methods to kill God Kings of other universes too.

The simplest is 'Causality Attack'... through the strong causal link between different true forms of the strong, if one can silently invade and influence the God King's perception, they can unwittingly 'commit suicide.' This is a method from the soul path.

Additionally, there are some special products within the Eternal Relics.

Like Abyssal Reflection, which is essentially 'soul pollution', transmited by one true form to all true forms... one must have soul will reaching Divine Emperor level to resist.

Like Void Soulfire, which is a 'Void Destruction Method', directly targeting divine rank and Inner Heaven and Earth through one true form's flesh and blood.

There are other similar methods in the vast cosmos.

All very terrifying.

A moment later.

Buzz~ In the void, a vague blood-robed figure appeared again, his gaze sweeping over the three God Kings, "How is it?"

"I am willing," Demon Cloud God King said.

"Willing to go," Demon Sea God King replied with lowered voice.

"Divine Emperor, I give up," Broken Sword God King gritted his teeth. He knew more about the Abyss Gate and felt somewhat afraid.

While Demon Cloud God King and Demon Sea God King evidently wanted to take the chance.

"Very well, Broken Sword, you may leave now," Abyss Divine Emperor's voice remained calm, "I will discuss some things privately with Demon Cloud God King and Demon Sea God King."

"Yes." Broken Sword God King turned and left, disappearing into the sky over the lake.

"You two, prepare yourselves."

"I will notify you at any time. As for how many true forms to send into battle... that is your choice." Abyss Divine Emperor turned his palm, two streams of light fell before the two God Kings, forming two divine elixirs emitting special waves, imbued with divine light, radiant glow dispersing.

"Demon Sea, this can aid your true form's cultivation within centuries."

"Demon Cloud... With this treasure, within three thousand years, you should be able to cultivate all five incarnations." Abyss Divine Emperor slowly said.

"Thank you, Divine Emperor." Demon Cloud God King and Demon Sea God King couldn't help but brighten their eyes, feeling quite excited.

Normally speaking.

For a God King to re-gestate a true form, it takes at least thousands of years, as much as ten thousand years... Like Demon Cloud God King's five incarnations perishing, the time required is even longer.

While some treasures can speed up this process, they are extremely difficult to obtain and God Kings generally cannot provide them.

Evidently!

To ensure the two God Kings can battle at their peak... Abyss Divine Emperor is willing to pay some cost.

"Go." Abyss Divine Emperor waved his hand, Demon Cloud God King and Demon Sea God King vanished over the lake, leaving only him.

"Broken Sword?"

"A dog should not be fed too well." Abyss Divine Emperor's eyes flickered with a chilling gleam, "After thinking his evolution through the Eternal Dao found the path to Divine Emperor, having long lifespan, he dares to disobey me?"

"He must die."

Buzz~ Abyss Divine Emperor once again slipped into the Time River.

...

Outside the Abyss Star, in a peculiar place, both the Demon Sea God King and the Demon Cloud God King appeared simultaneously.

"Demon Cloud, with such great risk, you are actually willing to go?" the Demon Sea God King couldn't help but say, "And you specifically told me to make sure I go as well."

"You don't understand."

"This time, not only will I go... but my true body will enter the Abyss Gate as well," the Demon Cloud God King said in a low voice.

"Your true body too?" the Demon Sea God King was shocked.

"You don't understand," the Demon Cloud God King shook his head and softly said, "Your understanding of the Divine Emperor... is too superficial."

"Do you really think the Divine Emperor is here to ask for our opinions?" the Demon Cloud God King sighed.

The Demon Sea God King was taken aback.

"Do you really think that the Divine Emperor returned the Five Elements Divine Wheel to me out of goodwill?" the Demon Cloud God King said in a low tone, "Granted us treasures to quickly restore our peak combat power, thinking for our sake?"

"He's not the three Divine Emperors of the Chaos Divine Court; he is... the Abyss Divine Emperor!"

The Demon Sea God King was alarmed, and belatedly, he understood a lot.

"Step onto the Abyss Road."

"We have no choice but to follow it to the end... it's not hard for the Divine Emperor to kill us." The Demon Cloud God King's eyes carried a hint of madness, "In these long years, the Divine Emperor has never paid such attention to us. His deliberate visit this time indicates... the Abyss Gate is extremely important to him."

"If we don't give our all, will there be a good outcome for us?"

"We must fight desperately." In the Demon Cloud God King's voice was absolute resolve, "Fighting desperately may offer a slim chance of survival, maybe even reaching Emperor status."

"Only by becoming an Emperor can we truly gain freedom."

The Demon Sea God King was stunned.

"What about the Broken Sword?" the Demon Sea God King hesitated to ask.

"I've sent him a message, tried to persuade him... Unfortunately, he's too young, too unaware of the Divine Emperor," the Demon Cloud God King shook his head and sighed lightly, "He's doomed!"

The Demon Sea God King's mind was in turmoil; he indeed knew little about the Divine Emperor... After all, in these long years, he had only met the Divine Emperor twice.

"Moreover."

"Demon Sea... don't think the Divine Emperor can't see through my thoughts." The Demon Cloud God King sighed, "The Divine Emperor sees everything, but he won't care."

"What he wants."

"Is just our lives!"

...

The battle on Beichen Star ended, but its impact was unprecedented, quickly spreading throughout the Heart Dream Universe, known by the God Kings of major powers.

"Emperor Battle?"

"The Divine Emperor's confrontation, the Heart Origin God King, faced the Abyss Divine Emperor and did not perish? Simply defying fate."

"Heart Dream God Emperor, Abyss Divine Emperor, truly terrifying, perhaps the two strongest Divine Emperors of the current Divine Realm."

"Heart Origin God King, in just over a thousand years, has stood at the peak of the God King Realm." All the God Kings of major powers sighed with emotion.

They all knew that Li Yuan relied on the Emperor Array, likely not matching the original appearance of a God King in terms of his own strength.

But so what?

A life-and-death struggle never questions why, only the result... and the result is that Li Yuan suppressed the Abyss Divine Court's army and faced a Divine Emperor without dying.

This is enough, enough to be sung for long ages.

Even.

Among the Heavenly God circles of various major forces... their channels for information were even fewer, not even knowing an Emperor battle had erupted, but they vaguely knew about the God King war.

"Heart Origin God King, single-handedly slaughtered a large number of God Kings."

"A miracle."

"God Kings! In my life, I've yet to see a God King... How long has Heart Origin God King been cultivating? To be able to single-handedly slaughter a group of God Kings."

"Unbelievable." When it came to figures like the Blood Feather Divine Monarch, Sword Demon Heavenly God, An Dao Divine Monarch, and Bai Jiang Divine Monarch, they found this news somewhat unbelievable.

Too exaggerated.

In a millennium, Li Yuan became a God King, which was already terrifying in their eyes... now even several God Kings have fallen to Li Yuan?

They could no longer describe it with words.

...

The news of this battle, along with the eruption of the Emperor battle, was even conveyed to more distant space-time regions through great power experts of the Purple Crow Universe, True Extreme Universe Realm, and Saxue Universe.

In the Eighth Dark Domain, the peak echelon powerhouses of each Great Universe, though their contact is indeed frequent... they gradually came to know.

"Emperor Battle?"

"Heart Dream God Emperor, actually cultivated the 'World Purifying Flame'?"

"The Abyss Divine Emperor's strength has further advanced... truly deserving of being called an Abyss Dominator."

"Has our Eighth Dark Domain also birthed an Abyss Dominator?"

"Fortunately, they are opposed to each other." Across the Dark Domain, leaders and powerhouses of each Great Universe focus even more on the battle between the two Divine Emperors, yet they also noticed Li Yuan's existence.

"Another peerless genius has risen in the Heart Dream Universe!"

"Not surprising, being the descendant of the former 'Honghe Alliance,' truly terrifying." Each major power in the Eighth Dark Domain remembered the name 'Heart Origin God King.'

One must know.

From a broad view of the Eighth Dark Domain, the Heart Dream Universe is already a highly monitored universe, second only to the two Overlord forces.

The Heart Dream Universe has deep heritage, many Divine Emperors, if united, capable of being counted as the third Overlord force in the Eighth Dark Domain.

...

In the depths of the Eighth Dark Domain, extremely remote from the Heart Dream Universe, there also exists a vast glorious cosmic space-time.

With over ten thousand Star Domains, exceedingly prosperous.

On a dazzling and endless giant star, in the unfathomable depths of the Time River... sits cross-legged a figure in a purple robe, his aura elusive and ambiguous.

"Abyss?"

"Heart Origin?" The purple-robed figure murmured to himself, his eyes seemingly penetrating cosmic space-time, witnessing the events of the Heart Dream Universe.

"Could it be, another junior disciple?"
