Start from the God of Death and break through the world.

Chapter 1057 The Arrival of the High Priest of Multiple Dimensions
The chaotic forces within the Thirteenth Universe grew increasingly violent, and people began to feel the temporal and spatial disorder in this world. From this moment on, Aizen's spacetime sealing device completely failed.

Under the immense power of the world's will, Aizen's device is ultimately within the realm of mortals, and besides, Zamasu, being an energy-driven device, is not without limits.

At this moment, smoke burst from all the spacetime sealing machines around the universe, and one by one, the burned-out Zamasu spewed out, emitting alarms indicating insufficient energy.

Aizen, realizing this, also rushed out of seclusion. He had set a warning for himself: he didn't care about anything else, but if the spacetime seal malfunctioned, he would be awakened even if he was wandering in the mysteries of the True Spirit.

Upon emerging from seclusion, Aizen immediately sensed the situation in Universe 13 and rushed over, only to find Lu Li battling against the forces of spacetime.

"Brother Lu, really, you didn't even tell me about something this big beforehand..."

Aizen's tone was tinged with helplessness. He could tell that Lu Li had only come out of seclusion on short notice and then decided to start his tribulation immediately.

However, he was not fully aware of the cause and effect of the matter. At that time, Lu Li had no choice. He could not leave Xiao Fang alone and let Baby continue to manipulate everyone and do whatever he wanted.

"Aizen Sousuke, can the spacetime sealing device still be repaired?"

When Dao Yan saw Lan Ran arrive, he asked him a question.

He doesn't yet fully understand Lu Li's abilities and feels that the power of the tribulation itself is secondary to Lu Li's tribulation, since the power of the Heavenly Dao in this world is immature and not the kind of world that is good at causing trouble.

Therefore, in such a world, forcing one to break through to the ninth level is considered to involve relatively little external pressure.

However, this also presents other problems. Although the power of the Heavenly Tribulation is insufficient, under the targeting of the World Will, all parallel universes will be mobilized. In that case, Aizen's seal will fail, and the other Grand Priests and Zeno will be able to find them.

Aizen's spacetime sealing device is not actually a barrier in principle, because the device, powered by Zamasu, cannot possibly be powerful enough to contend with the Grand Priest and Zeno. If it were truly just a barrier, it would be easily broken.

The fundamental principle is that they make this spacetime unpredictable, so that it cannot be located by the High Priests or similar powers through the Ring of Time.

Simply put, it's not that they built high walls to keep people out because outsiders can't find them.

Now that the world's will has brought calamity upon Lu Li, Aizen's device has naturally become ineffective. This is because to activate the world's origin to target Lu Li, the universes of just one world are certainly not enough; the power of multiple timelines is needed to suppress him.

"No, things have turned out this way. All timelines are being drained of power. Even the high priests who were originally uninterested in this timeline will be able to sense it."

Aizen shook his head and said, "This is equivalent to our spacetime mocking other spacetimes, because when the world's will targeted Brother Lu, it drained the power from their spacetime."

Dao Yan was not disappointed upon hearing this. He could roughly guess that this would be the result. Now he could only hope that Lu Li was aware of the situation and would not fail to break through to the ninth level in the end, which would be troublesome.

"What's there to be afraid of? Didn't we agree to chop up the High Priest for fun?"

Tianhuang, exuding a bandit-like aura, said from the side, "This heavenly tribulation looks so weak. If you ask me, I could do it too!"

boom--

Just as Tianhuang finished speaking, Lu Li was suddenly knocked out of the chaotic ocean and his figure was forced back.

Dao Yan gave Tian Huang a strange look. He had already noticed that Tian Huang's mouth seemed to be poisonous.

However, Tianhuang wasn't just boasting. Although the power descended by the world's will was strong, it was only at the threshold of the ninth rank. If Tianhuang were to unleash the new power he had cultivated to its peak, he might not be able to withstand it.

For Lu Li, whose strength had reached a level that was beyond comprehension, this level of heavenly tribulation was indeed too easy.

Because the Heavenly Dao of this world has never brought calamities upon humanity, it is very unfamiliar with it and its application of the chaotic power driven by the origin of the world is also very superficial. It has only roughly used energy to squeeze Lu Li.

But this time, Lu Li was defeated, which clearly means things are a little different.

From the chaotic ocean emerged a person who looked exactly like Lu Li. He was formed from chaotic matter, with the world's origin running within him, and he held a knife that looked exactly like Lu Li's.

"This is not good. Was Brother Prisoner copied from this world before?"

Dao Yan asked, looking at Aizen.

"Zamas made a wish to the Super Dragon, asking for Lu Li's body."

Aizen said, realizing why the Chaos Rikuli had been born.

Normally, there shouldn't be any traces of explorers recorded in this world, but by sheer coincidence, the Super Dragon specifically copied Lu Li once, which is now embedded in the world's 'memory'.

Clearly, while this Heavenly Dao is unfamiliar with using heavenly tribulations to stop those who plot against it, it is not truly foolish.

After realizing that simple energy could not kill Lu Li, they began to use a new method, which was to use magic to fight magic and Lu Li to fight Lu Li.

"Just an inanimate object..."

Lu Li floated in the chaotic aura, shaking his head and sighing, "Is this all there is to the Heavenly Dao?"

He was truly disappointed because he needed even greater pressure to undergo a complete transformation when he advanced to the ninth rank.

However, the Dragon Ball world is not the kind of world where people are good at playing with heavenly tribulations. He has been cultivating for seven thousand years and is excessively strong in all fields. In addition, with the spiritual seed reaching its peak, he does not feel any pressure in this kind of heavenly tribulation.

"Brother Prisoner is really putting on an act. That's his own Chaos Body, and it's indestructible with the support of the World Source. Is that all you've got?"

Tianhuang watched this scene and complained.

Dao Yan shook his head. "Just watch. The Demon Prisoner was probably only pushed back by accident. If he gets serious, those knock-offs won't last a single strike."

As if to echo Dao Yan's words, Lu Li also stepped forward and drew his sword. The dark sword light cleaved through the chaotic sky, even reversing the flow of time.

With just one strike, Lu Li's chaotic body, formed from the will of the world, was shattered. It was also a strike, but the chaotic body was much slower than Lu Li's main body.

Moreover, Lu Li's physical body could use his soul intent, but his Chaos Body could not; it was merely a lifeless object that had been copied. Then, as if he had grown tired of it and realized that this realm of Heavenly Dao could no longer bring him any surprises, Lu Li unleashed a sweeping, powerful attack with his blade.

And so all the chaos was instantly shattered, leaving the universe empty.

The world's will was unwilling to give up and continued to extract the world's origin from other time and space, thereby generating stronger time and space forces to strangle Lu Li.

But Lu Li stood there, his blood and qi soaring to the sky, his martial arts spirit surging, the phantom of the martial arts furnace appearing on his body, and the chanting of scriptures shaking heaven and earth.

The newly formed chaotic forces pressed down from all directions, like giant hands reaching to the heavens, trying to crush Lu Li to death.

But when those forces approached Lu Li, they were all burned away. He stood inside the martial arts furnace, like a martial arts saint who was impervious to all magic.

One after another, chaotic dragons took shape in the void, roaring as they charged toward Lu Li. Lu Li's body trembled slightly, and even across several star rivers, he shattered those chaotic dragons.

At this point, the atmosphere within the universe gradually calmed down, as if the will of the world had given up on the heavenly tribulation against Lu Li.

Lu Li stood there, chanting sutras around him, his blood and qi surging ever more, stirring up the galaxy. Even the passage of time began to tremble under his power. After some void shattered, fragments of time flowed before Lu Li, from which the past and future could be seen.

At this moment, Lu Li's power broke through the shackles and advanced to the ninth level of the realm. His blood and qi were inexhaustible, his true spirit was indestructible, and his power continued to rise.

Everything seemed to fall into place naturally, without much of a bottleneck. Lu Li's aura rose to the ninth level, and under normal circumstances, his overall attributes reached 281 points.

This was already amazing enough in the eyes of pioneers like Dao Yan and Tian Huang, but Lu Li shook his head and sighed.

According to Lu Li's original plan, if he could experience a more stressful tribulation, he could hone his martial arts foundation more solidly, which would allow him to soar to new heights when he broke through to the ninth level.

As a result, with the help of the talent that removes the limiter, he developed the various potential powers in his bloodline. After years of accumulation, he could only barely enter the ninth-order realm.

This result greatly dissatisfied Lu Li. He believed that his ninth-order path still had some flaws. The lack of supreme pressure made some of his paths less than perfect, and he would need to find other ways to make up for it in the future.

"Although it's not a perfect ninth-tier, it's enough for now."

Lu Li said with a sigh, then looked at a location in the thirteenth universe where a spacetime rift began to appear.

As if a switch had been flipped, spacetime rifts began to appear all over the universe, and figures emerged from them.

Those who came out looked at each other, seemingly understanding each other perfectly, and found the scene before them quite peculiar.

Because the people who emerged from each of the spacetime rifts were none other than the Grand Priest. In some rifts, only the Grand Priest emerged alone, while in others, the Grand Priest emerged with the Omni-King.

At a glance, hundreds of rifts appeared in the universe, meaning that hundreds of Omni-Kings and High Priests had descended.

Those who were originally watching Lu Li undergo his tribulation all changed color upon seeing this scene, and even Dao Yan frowned.

Because what they had feared had finally come to pass: in the multiverse of the Dragon Ball universe, the number of Grand Priests and Zeno was nearly infinite.

Most of these Grand Priests and Omni-Kings are from other timelines in their world; to be precise, they are all Grand Priests and Omni-Kings from the past.

Because different timelines within the same timeline will prioritize locating this point in time, the past Grand Priest and Zeno sensed that the cosmic will of the future was frantically extracting spacetime energy to target a certain being, so naturally they would want to come and see.

Once the power of the temporal turmoil subsides, they will be able to safely open the passage and descend to this point in time.

"It seems we won't be part of the future."

One of the high priests sensed this universe and accurately determined that the high priest and the Omni-King of this world were no longer there. He then turned his gaze to Lu Li, who was standing at the center of the universe. "Is this the world's will that is willing to expend its own resources to target humanity? We must have been killed by him."

Many high priests nodded in agreement, and some even carefully sensed the universe and discovered the Dragon God's seal on the Omni-King and the others.

But since we already have so many Grand Priests and the Omni-King, there's no need to rush to unseal a few more people.

Among these high priests, there are also those whose timelines are relatively close. In their memories, they actually know Lu Li, and some high priests even know about Lu Li and his group's rebellion.

The high priests simply communicated with each other using their minds and understood the situation. They were natural enemies of the human in the center of the universe, and there was no possibility or need for peace talks.

Or perhaps, the world's will mobilized so much precisely to attract their attention, to lure them to this space-time, and to kill this peculiar being that has intruded into this world.

Yes, the high priests are incredibly intelligent, and they came from all different timelines. With just a little conversation, they could easily compare and discover that although some of them had an impression of Lu Li, if they stood at the entrance of the time-space tunnel and sensed their own timeline behind it, they would find that there was no such person as Lu Li at all.

Unlike them, Lu Li, this human, seems quite special. He doesn't exist in the entirety of ancient history; he only exists at this point in time.

Such a special human being does not conform to the basic rules of their world. Even he and the Omni-King have multiple versions due to different timelines, but Lu Li only has one, which is obviously abnormal.

There is only one possibility to explain this phenomenon: Lu Li is not a person of this world. This is why the world's will is willing to expend its power to exclude Lu Li, and it may also be the reason why they were guided here.

"Lu Li, it's been a long time. Since I was led here, it means your rebellion plan succeeded and you really killed my future self."

Among the many high priests, one stepped forward with an unsettling, eerie smile on his face. "This is truly unexpected, because even defeating just one of me is highly unlikely for a mortal."

"Really? Don't you feel any regret about playing with fire and getting burned?"

Lu Li's tone was cold. He knew that this was a high priest from a very recent timeline, probably one who was high priest shortly before the start of the Tournament of Power.

The other side learned part of their plan through the Explorer's betrayal, so they invited a pair of Omni-Kings and the High Priest from other dimensions to oversee things, mainly to have some fun.

As everyone knows, Aizen activated the spacetime sealing device ahead of schedule, preventing the Grand Priest from calling for reinforcements, and ultimately causing the Grand Priest to be defeated by Lu Li.
