# Chapter 3317: The Order of Lihentian
Chrysa, Mera, and the Cyclops had all retreated to a distance, watching solemnly from afar.
The Taiji Yin-Yang Diagram had transformed into a vortex, stirring up a storm with pulling force, as colorful clouds continuously converged toward it.
"We need to leave immediately!"
Chrysa's unease grew stronger.
Mera was extremely unwilling. She drew her golden longbow, and a golden divine arrow condensed into form.
"Twang!"
The divine arrow flew out, dragging a thousand-mile golden light.
Within the Taiji Yin-Yang Diagram, Zhang Ruochen stood at the sun position, absorbing the power of heaven and earth. His heart sensed something.
With a thought!
A divine sword flew out, its light even more dazzling than the divine arrow.
The two collided.
The divine sword shattered the divine arrow with overwhelming force, then swept across the sky, carving a "one" character mark, stabbing straight toward Mera.
Mera's Divine Realm World manifested.
From the boundless world of flames, a Monarch Sacred Artifact shield flew out, forming a crystal divine mountain.
"Boom!"
The Monarch Sacred Artifact shield exploded, turning into crystalline fragments that melted as they flew.
The divine sword pierced through the world wall of the Divine Realm World, flying toward Mera's true body.
Fear finally appeared on Mera's face. She formed a seal with her right finger, drawing all the war weapons in her Divine Realm World to strike the divine sword continuously.
Chrysa and the Cyclops wanted to help, but it was too late.
The divine sword was extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, it shattered all the war weapons Mera had summoned.
Mera's divine flames blazed intensely, billions of light patterns leaping. Without any hesitation, she immediately teleported away, not daring to take this sword strike head-on.
"Boom!"
Her Divine Realm World was pierced by the divine sword, and the world plates continuously collapsed.
"What a terrifying sword strike. Even from hundreds of thousands of miles away, it's hard to withstand. Is this the power a God King can unleash?"
Mera seriously suspected that if the distance were any closer, she wouldn't be able to dodge this strike and would be wounded by the attack.
Was this the combat power that could be unleashed below the Infinite Realm?
Her divine soul and spiritual power couldn't penetrate the Taiji Yin-Yang Diagram, so she didn't know who had struck with the divine sword.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh..."
Five more divine swords flew out of the divine temple.
"Quick, leave!"
Chrysa, the Cyclops, and Mera no longer hesitated. They fled in three different directions, rapidly retreating into the distance.
Today, they had experienced unprecedented shock. They had thought that below the Infinite Realm, they could look down on all enemies, but the world had produced a monstrous genius.
Within the purple clouds.
The eyes beneath the Liang Zang mask were filled with horror. "These three have cultivation that can be called unmatched in the current era, yet they were scared off by a single sword strike. Could it be that a God Venerable has truly emerged from the Divine Temple of Tongtian?"
"If a God Venerable had emerged, the commotion wouldn't be just this," Liang Gu said.
"Excellent. The stronger Zhang Ruochen and his people become, the more wary the Paradise Realm will be. This way, the universe will inevitably fall into greater chaos. I truly look forward to the new pattern of the universe!"
"Let's go. Head to Infinite Light Heaven. Once there, you'll understand what it means to be the Undying of Liang and to share eternity. In the end, Lihentian is a world created by Liang, the true home of our Liang Organization."
Liang Ji flew out first, not daring to stay any longer.
The rotation speed of the Taiji Yin-Yang Diagram gradually slowed. The people within could no longer continue absorbing the power of "Liang."
Xiu Chen Heavenly God teleported, appearing atop the divine temple. Not only did she have a stunningly beautiful appearance, but she also exuded a divine might that looked down on all living beings. "I sensed the presence of Liang Organization members. We might still be able to catch up."
Her divine soul had greatly increased in strength, faintly exuding the aura of a King or Venerable.
Zhang Ruochen said, "Forget it. Lihentian is very strange, and the Liang Organization seems to have a lair here."
Last time, the divine souls of already-dead Liang Organization members had appeared collectively, making Zhang Ruochen vigilant. Moreover, at that time, the divine soul of an unknown ancient Heavenly Venerable had also appeared.
Xiu Chen Heavenly God knew what Zhang Ruochen was wary of and snorted coldly, "So what if it's an ancient Heavenly Venerable? Just a remnant soul. I have not only recovered a large portion of my Heaven-Earth backlash injuries but also reached sixty percent of the Infinite Realm in divine soul strength. Why should I fear a remnant soul?"
Zhang Ruochen shook his head slightly, feeling that Xiu Chen Heavenly God had become too inflated, truly believing she had returned to her peak state from a hundred thousand years ago.
Ah, he had been too good to her, letting her improve too quickly, making her forget that she, too, was just a remnant soul.
"Did you encounter the remnant soul of an ancient Heavenly Venerable in Lihentian?" Zhuque Huowu asked, confused.
Xiu Chen Heavenly God said, "I carefully sensed that aura at the time. It doesn't belong to any current era powerhouse."
"The aura was very strong. Although it was just a remnant soul, that unique and supreme Dao resonance was unmistakable, surpassing ordinary Indestructible Infinite cultivators. It was undoubtedly an ancient Heavenly Venerable," Zhang Ruochen added.
Zhang Ruochen had witnessed Feng Tian's strike and borrowed the divine power of Heavenly Mother, so he had some understanding of the power of Indestructible Infinite.
The Dao resonance of that aura was even deeper than Heavenly Mother's.
Heavenly Mother was known as the number one powerhouse of the Rakshasa Clan, with too many legends about her. Some even called her the number one of the Lower Three Clans. If someone had a more profound and unfathomable Dao resonance than her, who could it be but the strongest of an era?
Moreover, it must be a very powerful existence among the successive Heavenly Venerables.
Zhuque Huowu fell into thought, then said, "That's impossible! Lihentian has its own order. As far as I know, this order was established together by the current era's Heavenly Venerable, All Heavens, God Venerables, and God Kings. They even have divine soul thoughts left on Guangjing Mountain. Once they discover an ancient supreme being appearing, threatening current era great gods who are attacking the Infinite Realm, they will strike to kill them."
"If the divine soul thoughts on Guangjing Mountain can't kill them, then a Heavenly Venerable will take action in the Real World, or send a God Venerable's true body into Lihentian to kill them."
"It's been many years since the remnant soul of an ancient Heavenly Venerable appeared!"
Zhang Ruochen said, "Could it be that because of the Infinite North Expedition, the old monsters barely surviving in Lihentian have become restless, wanting to interfere with the current era?"
"That's possible! The Infinite North Expedition has caused the current era Infinite cultivators on Guangjing Mountain to lose their advantage. After all, everyone is just remnant soul thoughts. Some powerful old monsters no longer care about Guangjing Mountain."
Zhuque Huowu knew that Zhang Ruochen had cultivated for a short time and could be considered a "newcomer," unaware of many secrets in the world. So she added an extra sentence, telling him that Guangjing Mountain was a prehistoric divine mountain left at the junction of Infinite Light Heaven and Infinite Purity Heaven. When current era great gods from the Heavenly Court and Hell wanted to attack the Infinite Realm, they would go to Guangjing Mountain to comprehend the Dao, as it was the safest.
Lihentian was boundless, with no top visible above, no bottom visible below, and no edges in any direction. Therefore, based on different characteristics, it was divided into countless heavenly layers and regions.
Many places were dangerous even for Grand Void great gods, and only the area near Guangjing Mountain was relatively safe.
Zhuque Huowu's attitude had changed greatly compared to before. She spoke to Zhang Ruochen in a peaceful tone. Unlike before, she had always been wary of Zhang Ruochen, with subconscious hostility.
"The older the divine soul thought, the lower the likelihood of its survival."
Wu Yue walked over. The darkness aura on her body was so dense it couldn't be dispersed, like layers of gauze, mysterious and hazy.
Everyone's gaze was drawn to her.
Shenba Princess let out a soft exclamation: "Have you broken through the final barrier?"
Chi Xingtian and Zhuque Huowu immediately showed shock.
Even the usually cold Moon God had a bit more focus in her eyes.
Even if they didn't primarily cultivate spiritual power, they understood what breaking through the final barrier meant. It was truly leaping out, allowing one to be called a King or Venerable among gods.
The titles "God King" and "God Venerable" represented nobility and status.
In any major clan of the Hell Realm, one could sit in the highest seat, participate in major clan decisions, and take part in the layout of the cosmic chessboard.
Many gods believed that reaching the Great God realm meant escaping the identity of a pawn and becoming a chess player.
In reality, that was only because they hadn't yet leaped out of the mundane pattern.
Great gods were indeed chess players, but only chess players of the mundane world, controlling the mundane chessboard. The highest vision of the mundane world could only reach the Great God level.
Even the descendants of All Heavens and Heavenly Venerables, before becoming gods, were mostly taught by True Gods and Great Gods.
If All Heavens and Heavenly Venerables truly wanted to personally teach disciples, they would definitely aim to cultivate Eon-level geniuses.
Wu Yue glanced at Shenba Princess but didn't deny it. She continued, "Don't think that just because countless unparalleled figures have been born in the universe since ancient times—some being Heavenly Venerables, some even Primordial Ancestors—they all had good endings in Lihentian. They were regarded as prey by current era God Venerables and All Heavens, as soul medicine."
"Catching the remnant soul of an ancient Heavenly Venerable, refining and absorbing it, and seizing their insights is often equivalent to one or two Eons of bitter cultivation."
"Therefore, truly powerful figures, back in ancient times, passed their remnant souls to their successors, unwilling to suffer this humiliation. This is also why some great gods, after breaking through to the Qiankun Infinite initial stage, can quickly enter the Qiankun Infinite middle stage, peak, or even reach Great Unbound Infinite within one or two Eons. Such people aren't necessarily talented or perceptive; most of them inherited the remnant souls of Heavenly Venerables or Primordial Ancestors."
Wu Yue wanted to name a few current era young Great Unbound Infinite cultivators, but stopped herself.
Without evidence, there was no need to speculate.
Zhang Ruochen said, "Do you mean that the one who attacked me might not be an ancient Heavenly Venerable? Could it be from the current era?"
"Who in the current era could be this strong? Hao Tian, or Fengdu Dadi?" Xiu Chen Heavenly God was unrestrained, directly naming Hao Tian and Fengdu Dadi.
"Not necessarily. The world's supreme experts aren't necessarily all among the All Heavens of the Heavenly Court and Hell." Zhang Ruochen thought of the Thunder Clan.
Wu Yue nodded, saying, "Many Primordial Ancestor Realms hide great secrets. Even those with Tianyuan Wuque spiritual power can't deduce them. If one or two old monsters comparable to Hao Tian and Fengdu Dadi suddenly appeared, it wouldn't be surprising at all. However, the one you mentioned didn't appear this time, probably because Guangjing Mountain took action."
Zhang Ruochen became curious about Guangjing Mountain. A place where current era Infinite cultivators from both the Heavenly Court and Hell would lodge their divine soul thoughts—wouldn't their divine soul thoughts fight each other?
Moreover, after becoming a god, it seemed he hadn't released his divine soul thoughts or entered Lihentian.
Wu Yue walked toward Moon God, and these two stunningly beautiful women began communicating through secret sound.
"Since that ancient Heavenly Venerable's remnant soul has likely been dealt with by Guangjing Mountain, we don't have to fear anything now! Those three old monsters from the Paradise Realm must be eliminated. They probably haven't fled far. Wu Yue, since you've already determined everything with a single thought, help us calculate their position!" Chi Xingtian said loudly, not treating Wu Yue as an outsider.
Earlier, being suppressed by the Cyclops had left Chi Xingtian with a belly full of anger.
Having just absorbed the power of heaven and earth, his injuries had recovered considerably, and both his physical body and divine soul had grown. He was no longer as weak as before.
Fight! He had to regain his face!
