Chapter 238: Where Did This Monster Come From? Sweeping Away!

Chapter 238: Where Did This Monster Come From? Sweeping Away!



A crimson sun hung in the sky, its radiance enveloping the vast land like a sea of blood.

In a mountain range, an intense battle was unfolding.

Five Origin Power Warriors, each clad in Origin Power Armor, were engaged in a fierce fight.

The five powerful warriors were divided into two camps.

One side consisted of three individuals, led by a tall and slender figure with a hint of lightning surrounding his body. He wielded a battle knife, exuding a formidable aura like a rainbow, appearing incredibly terrifying as he relentlessly attacked the delicate-figured opponent on the other side.

The other two on this side were enveloped in crimson light; one held a long spear, while the other gripped a war hammer, their auras equally awe-inspiring.

The ones being besieged by these three were none other than Alicia and Kros.

"Kill!"

Alicia channeled her Origin Power, fully activating her Origin Power Armor. Her longsword emanated strands of blue light, resembling an endless stream, as she parried the attacks from the tall, purple-robed figure.

With each clash, Alicia was struck and forced to retreat.

However, she seemed to possess an invisible magic that made the tall, purple-robed figure stumble whenever her gaze swept over him, constantly affecting his movements.

Occasionally, her sword's glow would even leave a faint trace on his body.

Unfortunately...

In terms of overall strength, Alicia and Kros together were no match for their opponents. Even as they fled, they remained entangled.

They had already fled over ten kilometers, yet they couldn't shake off their pursuers.

With each clash, Kros' injuries worsened, making their escape increasingly difficult.

The key figure was the tall, purple-robed man; his power was truly terrifying, and he could easily sweep them both in a fair fight.

"We've only been here for a few hours," Alicia gritted her teeth, her eyes glinting with cold determination. "How can this Origin Power Warrior from the Lightning Mist lineage have such formidable willpower?"

Boom!

Time and again, terrifying mental assaults erupted from her spiritual world, sweeping towards the tall, purple-robed figure and affecting him repeatedly.

Mental Secret Art!

Alicia was also highly skilled in Mental Secret Arts; in a certain sense, she was even more proficient than Li Yuan. This was the reason she had managed to hold off the three opponents' siege for so long, alongside Kros.

Her swordsmanship was also excellent in defense.

"Lei Wu, why is it taking so long to defeat them?" The crimson-robed figures holding the spear and war hammer were growing impatient.

The battle had been raging for a long time.

They were concerned that other powerful warriors from the Seven Star Civilization might come to their aid.

"What's the rush?" The tall, purple-robed figure coldly interrupted, "The one in front of me is undoubtedly the top genius of the Seven Star Civilization... Not only is his swordsmanship exceptional, but his mental energy is incredibly strong, probably reaching the Second Stage Limit."

"He's not that easy to kill."

"However, the longer the fight goes on, the weaker my Mental Secret Art's effect on him becomes. She can't hold him off forever."

The three warriors communicated using a special 'code language', not even the common tongue of the Immortal Ruins Civilization.

Therefore, Alicia and Kros couldn't understand a word they were saying.

"Alicia, the one you're fighting is named Lei Wu, and he's likely their strongest warrior," a youthful voice echoed in Alicia's mind. "He seems to have cultivated a defensive Mental Secret Art. If we continue fighting like this, someone will die."

"Xiao Xing, can you understand what they're saying?" Alicia responded mentally.

"I can understand it; it's just a code language," the youthful voice replied. "But it doesn't matter if I understand it or not. Last time, after you consumed the heavenly materials, your mental energy only reached level 29. You can't unleash the true power of the Mental Secret Art I taught you... If you had Sky Ascendant mental energy, we could escape."

"If we can't, we should just run."

"Get rid of Kros and let me take control of your body." The youthful voice insisted, "I guarantee we can escape."

"If we delay any longer, and your body gets injured, we won't be able to escape later."

"No!"

Alicia refused adamantly, "Kros came to rescue me first; how can I abandon him?"

"What should we do then? I've worked so hard to cultivate you." The youthful voice sounded a bit anxious.

"Don't worry."

"Xiao Xing, buy some time; help is almost here," Alicia gritted her teeth and responded, "Reinforcements are on their way."

She was waiting!

Why did she lead Kros in this direction while fleeing? She was following instructions from the external base.

Just then, suddenly!

Boom!

From the distant horizon, a faint tremor reverberated through the earth, so subtle that an ordinary person wouldn't notice it.

However, the five Origin Power Warriors engaged in the battle had achieved the unity of heaven and man, and their perception abilities far surpassed those of ordinary people.

Almost simultaneously, Lei Wu, Dong Ming, and Macka glanced over, and they saw a figure rushing towards them at an astonishing speed of nearly 180 meters per second.

With a swift movement, a figure darted across the sky, its momentum like a rainbow.

Alicia and Kros, their peripheral vision naturally turned towards the figure rushing towards them, emitting a faint yellowish-brown light.

The face was unclear.

But both of them, through the prompt on their smart ring watches, instantly understood—0001 had arrived.

Li Yuan had come!!

From Li Yuan's running speed, they also judged that Li Yuan had already broken through.

"We're saved."

"We're saved." The childish voice instantly rang in Alicia's mind: "The little freak has come, we don't need to run anymore."

"Shut up."

Alicia responded coldly, her longsword whistling in her hand as she focused on blocking Lei Wu's ferocious attacks.

She knew that this was the most dangerous moment.

"Kill!" Kros went crazy, his eyes turning slightly red, desperately blocking Dong Ming and Macka's attacks.

The two fought while moving towards the rushing Li Yuan.

With their desperate efforts, Lei Wu and the other two couldn't take down Alicia and Kros for a while.

"Reinforcements have arrived."

"Such speed, it must be a Fifth Stage Level 20 Origin Warrior."

Lei Wu, Dong Ming, and Macka could tell from Li Yuan's burst of speed that he was no ordinary opponent.

"Dong Ming, go stop him." Lei Wu gave the order.

"Understood."

The tall, fiery figure holding a long spear instantly broke free from Kros and transformed into a stream of fiery light, rushing towards Li Yuan who was already within a kilometer of the battlefield.

"A genius from the Seven-Star Civilization, so what?"

"My physical qualities are at Level 21, and I'm also a Fifth Stage Skill! Stop me? I'll kill you." The tall, fiery figure was full of confidence, as he was also a core genius of the Moonward Divine Kingdom.

Facing a genius from the Seven-Star Civilization, one couldn't help but feel a sense of superiority.

Moreover, they had been slaughtering their way here, sweeping through a large area in just a few hours without encountering any obstacles. Even when they encountered Alicia and Kros, they still had the upper hand.

How could they not be confident?

Boom! The tall, fiery figure's speed also soared to 180 meters per second, his limit in the Heaven and Man As One state.

Boom, rumble~

The two figures ran on the ground, one resembling a small boulder with a yellowish-brown aura, and the other like a fiery meteor... The ground shook violently, and in just a few seconds, they had covered over a kilometer and finally collided.

"Die!" The tall, fiery figure roared, his long spear lashing out like a dragon emerging from the sea, viciously stabbing towards Li Yuan.

This spear attack was so fierce that it caused the air to explode with a thunderous sound.

Dong Ming believed that even Lei Wu would have to slightly dodge this spear attack.

Boom! Just as Li Yuan approached the battlefield and saw that Alicia and Kros seemed to be holding on, he had been intentionally hiding his speed. But at this moment, he suddenly unleashed all his strength.

His speed soared from 180 meters per second, surging forward at an incredible rate.

"Not good." Dong Ming's face changed slightly, sensing Li Yuan's aura suddenly becoming like a primordial beast.

But before he could react...

"Damn you!" A furious roar sounded like a thunderclap.

Boom! A terrifying mental shockwave swept over like a rolling river.

"Bang!" Dong Ming, as a core genius of the Divine Kingdom, had a decent talent and mental energy, reaching Level 25... However, Li Yuan's mental energy had also increased significantly compared to before.

It had jumped from Level 30.5 to Level 31.4, and after surpassing Level 30, each level increase was already very impressive.

It was like a huge hammer smashing down, causing Dong Ming's mind to go blank instantly.

In the Heaven and Man As One state, Li Yuan unleashed a mental secret art.

Whoosh!

His Black Heaven Spear suddenly thrust forward, unleashing a terrifying force of over 300,000 kilograms. The spear shot out like a myriad of stars in the sky, its power swirling like a river. The spear tip contained an unmatched, terrifying might.

True Intention Strike—Star River Cyclone.

This defensive strike, when used offensively, was equally terrifying, causing the spear's power to surge.

"Slicing!"

The spear, with its terrifying force, instantly deflected Dong Ming's spear, which was thrusting forward due to inertia. Following the spear tip, it pierced Dong Ming's body, directly tearing through the surface origin power defense and then completely piercing the origin power armor.

A single spear pierced through.

Impact force erupted!

"No!!!" The excruciating pain instantly brought Dong Ming back to his senses, and his eyes filled with endless fear.

"Slicing~"

Dong Ming's tall figure, along with his origin power armor, was torn into two halves.

"Boom!" Without hesitation, Li Yuan swiftly moved in and unleashed another rapid spear thrust.

The strike directly hit the half-severed body of Dong Ming, who had been thrown into the air, and exploded on his head.

"Bang!" In an instant, Dong Ming's head shattered.

Dong Ming, the core genius of the Moonward Divine Kingdom, was dead. The most lethal weak point of an Origin Martial Artist was their head. Otherwise, even if their body was half-destroyed or their heart shattered, as long as they had precious life-saving items, they might still survive.

The lives that had stepped onto the Extraordinary Path were far superior to those who hadn't.

Therefore, in a battle against an Origin Martial Artist, the best way to confirm their death was to destroy their head.

"You have killed a Second Rank Being and obtained Spirit Nutrients. Your Spiritual Awakening Degree has reached 38.7%." A Divine Palace notification flashed in Li Yuan's vision.

The reason for such a significant increase was that on his way here, Li Yuan had casually killed an ordinary Origin Martial Artist from the Moonward Divine Kingdom, as well as several First Stage Warriors.

In fact, the current Moonward Divine Kingdom's team was centered around Lei Wu, Dong Ming, and Macka. With over a hundred people concentrated within a radius of several dozen kilometers, they were searching the area. Once anyone encountered a situation, they would send a message, and Lei Wu and the others would rush over.

This group of over a hundred people was like a massive grinding wheel, crushing all Seven Star Civilization experts they encountered along the way.

This was why Alicia and her team were discovered so quickly.

However, Li Yuan's intrusion also meant that there was a chance to deal a devastating blow to the Moonward Divine Kingdom's team within a very short time.

"Kill!"

With two strikes, Li Yuan eliminated Dong Ming without stopping to collect any spoils of war. Instead, he moved like a flash of lightning, his speed showing no signs of slowing down, and continued his assault towards the distant Lei Wu and Macka.

...

"What?"

"He killed Dong Ming in a single exchange?" Lei Wu and Macka were both shocked by what they saw.

They had thought that even if Dong Ming couldn't stop this newly arrived Seven Star Civilization Origin Martial Artist, he should at least be able to stall for some time.

Who would have thought that Dong Ming would die in a single exchange?

"What kind of monster is this?" Macka's heart trembled.

"Even if it were me, giving it my all to kill Dong Ming would still take dozens of moves. But this person did it in a single exchange?" Lei Wu was even more shocked: "If my combat power is 600, this person's combat power is definitely over 1000!"

"This guy is at least a Demigod-level genius, an absolute main force from the Seven Star Civilization. I can't beat him."

"Run!"

Boom! Boom! Lei Wu and Macka sent out messages like lightning while simultaneously retreating without hesitation.

There was no other choice! Li Yuan's overwhelming strength had completely terrified them.

"Pursue and kill!"

"Don't let them escape." Alicia and Kros wanted to chase, but their hearts were heavy.

The previous battle had left their bodies significantly damaged.

...

"This...?"

"Li Yuan?" Kros and Alicia were both shocked and excited.

They knew Li Yuan was powerful, and once he broke through to become an Origin Martial Artist, he would undoubtedly be even more formidable. But they never expected he would be this terrifying.

"Running for their lives?"

"That purple-light figure's speed is almost on par with mine! It'll be easier to kill him now." Li Yuan instantly made a decision and sprinted towards Macka.

Boom! Boom! Boom! The ground shook as Lei Wu and Macka fled in different directions, especially Lei Wu, whose physical qualities were slightly better than Li Yuan's. Although his skill level was lower, overall, his speed was comparable to Li Yuan's.

As for Macka? His speed was impressive, but under Li Yuan's full burst, his killing speed was even more terrifying.

In just over ten seconds, Li Yuan caught up with Macka.

"Perish." Li Yuan's eyes turned cold.

In a life-and-death battle, a clash of civilizations, he couldn't afford to hold back.

Boom! A mental shockwave surged, and a dazzling spear light tore through the sky, piercing Macka's chest.

The corpse ripped apart, and blood rained down from the sky, quickly splattering in all directions.

A single strike, and Macka was dead!

"Not bad, running faster than me by a bit," Li Yuan frowned, looking towards the distant purple-light figure that had already fled nearly two kilometers away.

The speed of Li Yuan's mental attack depended on the range of his divine perception, which was only effective within a hundred meters, and the closer the target, the better the effect...

When facing an opponent with such formidable physical qualities, determined to escape, it was almost impossible for Li Yuan to catch up.

"I'll wait for one more day."

"I'll take the Life Extending Fruit, and when I encounter him again, killing him won't be difficult." Li Yuan didn't rashly pursue either.

Currently, he couldn't confirm if that purple-light figure was the strongest member of the Moonward Divine Kingdom's team.

Strengthening his own power was the top priority.

Huff!

Li Yuan stood in place and quickly collected the numerous spoils of war left behind by Macka.

"Li Yuan."

"Li Yuan." Alicia and Kros finally caught up, a few seconds slower.
