Chapter 247: The Wrath of the Heaven Supreme Marquis! Li Yuan's Current Strength



The large conference room was silent.

Dozens of people stood there respectfully, heads bowed, as quiet as cicadas in winter, listening to the towering figure at the end of the room roar, not daring to make a sound.

At the end of the conference room.

A robust figure sat in purple armor, resembling a war god even when seated, his height was nearly two meters. Especially his eyes, which glowed a blood-red, sent shivers down one’s spine.

However, what was most distinctive was the dark red horn on his head, sharp and as if it could pierce the sky, making his aura even more domineering.

This was the Heaven Supreme Marquis.

The ruler of the tens of millions of people in Heaven Supreme City, a single command from him could result in hundreds or even thousands of deaths.

He was also the true top-tier ruler of the Moonward Divine Kingdom, wielding immense power.

The system in the Moonward Divine Kingdom was entirely different from that of the Seven Star Human Civilization.

In the latter, even ordinary people had certain rights—by law, even a powerful Demigod could not arbitrarily slaughter civilians, making the entire civilization relatively peaceful.

However, the Moonward Divine Kingdom was a mix of various races, quite chaotic.

The Demigods were high above, holding astonishing power, truly having life and death control over most of their subjects, and arbitrary slaughter was a trivial matter.

Unless!

You showed extremely high value—such as some invaluable researchers or those with astonishing martial talent.

For example, ‘Prince Mo Hu’!

"My territory is only so large; how easy is it to produce a Demigod-level genius?" The Heaven Supreme Marquis was extremely angry when he first learned of Mo Hu’s death.

Once rated as a Demigod-level genius, they would be beyond his control.

He had to use both threats and enticements to bring Mo Hu to his side.

It was for the sake of competing for the treasures within the Nexus Realm.

Now that Mo Hu was dead, although it wouldn’t cause a significant impact on him, it would certainly lead to questioning and challenges from other Demigod elders within the divine kingdom.

"Find out!"

"Based on the information transmitted by Mo Hu, Tie Mu Er, Lei Wu, and the others before they died, figure out who the genius from the Seven Star Civilization is," the Heaven Supreme Marquis said coldly. "If necessary, contact the Heavenly Virtue Civilization and the Cloud Beast Civilization. They have the deepest infiltration into the Seven Star Civilization and will definitely have detailed intelligence."

"I do not want to hear ‘I don’t know’ again when I summon you next time," the Heaven Supreme Marquis’s icy gaze swept over a few figures.

"Yes." The heads of the External Supervision Department lowered their heads.

They knew that if they could find out, there would still be room for redemption… but if they failed, dismissal would be the lightest punishment.

Several heads of the External Supervision Department quickly left.

"Tell me, do you have any better ideas about this Nexus Realm?" the Heaven Supreme Marquis asked coldly.

The people bowed their heads, looking at each other.

After a few seconds.

"Your Excellency, Prince Mo Hu’s death was due to his insufficient strength. Perhaps we should invite a ‘Divine Son-level genius’ from the divine kingdom…" a red-robed man cautiously suggested.

"Bang~"

The Heaven Supreme Marquis slapped his hand, an invisible force slicing through the air and striking the red-robed man’s face, sending him flying and crashing to the ground.

"Divine Son-level genius?"

"How many Divine Son-level geniuses does the entire divine kingdom have?" the Heaven Supreme Marquis sneered. "Not a single one is even at the First Stage. If I want to invite one, I would have to go to other divine kingdoms. What would be the cost?"

No one spoke.

A Demigod-level genius only represented the potential to become a Demigod. The Moonward Divine Kingdom would often produce several each year, making the total number not insignificant.

But a Divine Son-level genius? They were recognized as certain to grow into a Demigod if they continued to develop, and the Moonward Divine Kingdom would only produce one every few years.

What could they do?

These department heads were deep in thought.

Suddenly.

"Your Excellency, from the current situation, it seems the Seven Star Civilization has dispatched a formidable genius. Directly competing within the Nexus Realm will be extremely difficult," a black-robed figure said softly. "But we can change our approach."

"Go on." The Heaven Supreme Marquis looked at the black-robed figure.

"According to the rules we have discovered, Second Rank Beings cannot stay in the Nexus Realm for long," the black-robed figure explained. "We don’t need to rush. We just need to delay for a while until that formidable genius leaves."

"Stupid!"

The Heaven Supreme Marquis shook his head. "In the past, the one controlling this Divine Palace Ruins was just a Demigod family from the Seven Star Civilization, with limited resources and limited talent. But now, the one in charge is the ruling body of the Seven Star Civilization, and the resources they can mobilize are beyond your imagination."

"If we give them time, they might find all the exits and guard them."

"At that point, even if we invite a Demigod-level genius, they might face a group of Origin Martial Artists right from the start."

"The most important point."

"The Seven Star Civilization will continuously send their top geniuses to explore the Divine Palace Ruins. They might obtain all the treasures at any time," the Heaven Supreme Marquis said coldly. "We must compete and cannot afford to waste time."

The Heaven Supreme Marquis saw things clearly.

But his subordinates were at a loss. Without being able to invite a Divine Son-level genius, how could they compete? Wasn’t this a death sentence?

"Your Excellency, then let’s compete externally."

"Another voice chimed in, "Instead of fighting internally, why not directly target the source and breach the war fortress of the Seven Stars Civilization located in the Flame Feather Star Realm?"

"Let's occupy their passage directly."

"At that time, if we occupy both passages, everything will be under our control." The speaker was a purple-robed woman. "But this plan is not just a simple contest of geniuses... it's a declaration of total war against the entire Seven Stars Civilization."

"I'm afraid that relying solely on the power of our territory might not be enough to win." The purple-robed woman added respectfully.

Ming Tian Marquis fell into deep thought, a hint of hesitation flashing in his eyes.

Currently, only the forces under his command were competing. If they won, they would reap all the benefits.

If he could convince other Demigods from the Divine Kingdom to join, or even the entire upper echelon of the Divine Kingdom, the power he could mobilize would naturally be more formidable. However, the benefits he could gain would also be significantly reduced.

After a long period of contemplation...

"Go and summon Jin Heng." Ming Tian Marquis suddenly spoke up.

With these words, everyone in the room immediately understood Ming Tian Marquis's intention—to wage an all-out war.

Because Jin Heng was the most powerful Origin Warrior under Ming Tian Marquis, and his fame was immense.

Not long after...

Everyone left the conference room, leaving only Ming Tian Marquis sitting there alone.

He had just contacted several Demigod friends.

"Four Demigods will mobilize their forces to the best of their abilities."

"Gather a group of powerful Origin Warriors, and even let them directly transcend to the Skysoar Realm in the Flame Feather Star Realm, unleashing their strongest combat prowess." Ming Tian Marquis tapped the armrest, and the crisp sound of his fingertips colliding with the armrest echoed in the conference room as he silently pondered, "It should be enough."

"The Seven Stars Civilization?"

"With such a vast treasure located in the nexus of countless dimensions, which civilization wouldn't covet invading it?"

"Dongfang Ming is indeed formidable, but he's been in a stalemate with the Ten Thousand Demon Civilization for so long... It's impossible for him to deploy the full strength of his civilization against me." Ming Tian Marquis was certain of this.

He understood the true depth of Dongfang Ming's power and the Seven Stars Civilization.

But precisely because he understood, he dared to challenge them.

"If we go to war, the worst-case scenario is to report to the clan." Ming Tian Marquis's eyes flashed with a hint of cold determination.

He came from a terrifyingly powerful clan within the Immortal Ruin Civilization, and his background was profound, which was why he could dominate the Moonward Divine Kingdom.

Boom! Ming Tian Marquis stood up, and on his purple battle armor, faint streaks of purple flames blossomed and burned, emitting an incredibly terrifying aura.

"The Path of Laws."

"The remnants of a Fire Deity, containing untold treasures, might just be the key to my next step towards godhood." Ming Tian Marquis's eyes were filled with endless desire.

The treasures left behind by the Fire Deity were worth betting everything.

If he could obtain them, he wouldn't even bat an eyelid at sacrificing the countless lives in his territory.

...

When Ming Tian Marquis made his decision in the Moonward Divine Kingdom, news of the battle between Li Yuan and Mo Hu had already reached the war base in the Flame Feather Star Realm.

"The Moonward Divine Kingdom actually sent a Demigod-level genius?" When Wugama Nong, Yu Jinghe, and Tavares received this news, they were all shocked.

The following news left them both surprised and delighted.

"Won?"

"The Demigod-level genius Mo Hu was defeated by Li Yuan, and he couldn't even escape into the Divine Palace?" Wugama Nong, Tavares, and the others were astounded.

All four of them were dispatched here, capable of fighting Skysoar Warriors, and their status and experience were extremely high. Naturally, they had a good understanding of the various systems in the Moonward Divine Kingdom.

They knew the significance of a Demigod-level genius.

"If we were at the First Stage, we probably wouldn't have won."

"Hmm, in terms of talent, we might not be weaker than the 'Demigod-level genius' sent by the Moonward Divine Kingdom, but they can mobilize more resources... If the situation were reversed, we wouldn't be as capable as Li Yuan." Wugama Nong, Yu Jinghe, and the others couldn't help but sigh.

Even Yu Jinghe and Wugama Nong, who already knew Li Yuan's background, were even more impressed by him.

High talent must be utilized effectively.

How long has Li Yuan been cultivating? He's already capable of defeating a Demigod-level genius from the Moonward Divine Kingdom in a face-to-face battle.

"The Moonward Divine Kingdom's choice of a Demigod-level genius shows their determination. After this defeat, they will most likely not challenge Li Yuan." Yu Jinghe spoke softly, "Now, if they lose again, they are unlikely to compete with Li Yuan."

"We must be prepared."

At this, Wugama Nong, Tavares, Flame Fox, and Flame Peak felt a chill in their hearts, understanding Yu Jinghe's implication.

The war in the Nexus Realm would likely come to an end.

With Li Yuan guarding the area, it would be almost impossible for the Moonward Divine Kingdom to send another First Stage Warrior to compete in the short term.

In that case, the war base they were guarding would likely see a sharp increase in the probability of a major battle.

"If they dare to come, then let's fight." Tavares laughed, "A civilization that birthed a deity?"

"We're not afraid of fighting the Second Rank warriors of the Ten Thousand Demon Civilization."

"We're all Second Rank, who's stronger than whom?" Abbott also exuded a bloodthirsty glow.

All four of them had experienced countless life-and-death battles and grew stronger through them.

How could they be afraid? As the 'top-tier existence' among the Origin Warriors of the Seven Stars Civilization, they were the sharpest blades in the Second Tier Star Realms, leading the entire civilization in countless battles.

"We're not afraid of war."

"However, let's first report Li Yuan's performance and the latest situation in the Nexus Realm."

"Wugama softly spoke, "I wonder if the upper echelons of the Alliance can allocate more resources to us."

...

The upper echelons of the two great civilizations were in turmoil, each with their own countermeasures, but the Nexus Realm remained calm.

At this moment, Li Yuan was the pillar of stability in the Nexus Realm.

Even the Demigods of the Moonward Divine Kingdom had temporarily extinguished their direct desires to seize control of the Nexus Realm.

Beneath the majestic mountain range,

On one side of the dark canyon, eight hours later, Li Yuan's transformation finally concluded.

He sat quietly here.

"The fourth Origin Energy Infusion is finally over." Li Yuan's mind was filled with tranquility.

With a thought, his psychic consciousness permeated his entire body, sensing every subtle thread of power.

"Rumble~" Within the Origin Energy Sea, a surge of Origin Power stirred, instantly creating a towering wave that rushed into numerous Star Pulses.

Four Star Pulses shone in unison, transforming Li Yuan's entire aura into something extraordinary.

Powerful!

Unprecedented power!

In this moment, Li Yuan simultaneously mobilized countless subtle threads of power and Origin Power, and his strength exploded, far surpassing his past self.

If he were to encounter Prince Mo Hu again?

Li Yuan estimated that it would only take two or three moves to defeat him, a one-sided crushing victory.

"25.9 level?" Li Yuan's gaze swept over the Divine Palace Panel.

---

【Life Tier: 25.9 (Second Stage)】

Fist Power: 413,000 kg

Speed: 258 m/s

Mental Energy: 32.8 level

Willpower: 33 level

Spirit Awakening: 40% (Current Limit 45%)



Star Pulse: 16 level (Cultivation Efficiency 10+1+1+0.5)



Skill Stage: Spear Technique (Fifth Stage 43%), Body Technique (Fifth Stage 43%)



Star Technique: Earth Star Vein True Understanding (First Stage 7th level: 7th level)



"Physical quality increased by 2.2 levels, and fundamental fist power increased by approximately 130,000 kg?" Li Yuan silently contemplated.

The effect of Origin Energy Infusion was far better than the Fourth Tier Divine Treasure 'Ten Thousand Lives Extending Fruit'.

Mental Energy also increased by a full level.

If Li Yuan were to purely cultivate the Divine Secret Art, it would take a long time to achieve such an increase.

At 32.8 levels of Mental Energy, Li Yuan estimated that it was already quite impressive among Skysoar Warriors.

"If I were to use the Mental Secret Art again, it would be extremely difficult for Prince Mo Hu to withstand it easily." Li Yuan thought to himself, "Even without losing focus, my strength would be reduced by more than 20%."

"If it were a normal 29-level Origin Martial Artist, they would likely lose focus." Li Yuan muttered.

Li Yuan was already very satisfied.

For the Mental Secret Art to have such a significant effect during a direct confrontation... it was already very rare.

However, the most exciting aspect of this Origin Energy Infusion for Li Yuan was not the breakthrough in physical quality or Mental Energy, but rather the Spirit Awakening and Star Pulses.

"I never expected that reaching 32 levels of Mental Energy would fulfill the requirement for a 45% Spirit Awakening limit." Li Yuan's peripheral vision scanned through numerous Divine Palace prompts, landing on one that stood out.

【Your Mental Energy has reached 32 levels, and the Spirit Awakening limit has increased from 40% to 45%】

Of course, reaching a 45% Spirit Awakening limit did not affect anything for the time being, as even if Li Yuan continued to accumulate until the limit, he would still be unable to undergo Origin Energy Infusion.

But what it meant was crucial—it indicated that Li Yuan was very close to reaching the 45% Spirit Awakening limit.

"Reaching 32 levels of Mental Energy results in a 45% limit."

"I wonder what the requirement is to reach a 50% limit? 34 levels? Or 35 levels?" Li Yuan silently speculated.

According to Li Yuan's knowledge, reaching 35 levels of Mental Energy was the peak for a normal Skysoar Warrior.

Increasing Mental Energy from 35 to 36 levels would also be a significant hurdle, making further breakthroughs extremely challenging.

"I hope..."

"I hope the requirement for a 50% Spirit Awakening limit isn't too high." Li Yuan thought to himself, feeling a glimmer of anticipation.

Because once the Spirit Awakening limit reached 50%, it would trigger the second Spirit Guidance.

The first Spirit Guidance had allowed Li Yuan to awaken a Perfect Star Pulse.

And the second time?

"Continue to cultivate diligently, and with perseverance, as Mental Energy continues to rise, naturally, reaching the awakening of the fifth Star Pulse shouldn't be far." Li Yuan thought, "Now, with four awakened Star Pulses, there should be a significant increase."

Li Yuan silently sensed the four Star Pulses within his body, and compared to when he had just awakened the fourth Star Pulse, there was a massive change.

All of this was the result of his continuous awakening over the past hours.

He now possessed one First Tier, one Second Tier, and one Third Tier Star Pulse.

Consequently, Li Yuan's Star Pulse level rose to 16.

"With three awakened Star Pulses, I can cultivate three-tier Star Techniques." Before entering the Star Realm, Li Yuan had already learned many three-tier Star Technique secrets in the Starfire Treasury.

However, Li Yuan temporarily had no plans to cultivate.

"My Perfect Star Pulse has already chosen to cultivate an auxiliary Star Technique." Li Yuan thought, "Then, the second Star Technique must be one that excels in offense."

"The second Star Pulse has awakened to the Third Tier in a short time. Continuing to cultivate, perhaps it can awaken to the Fifth or Sixth Tier." Li Yuan contemplated.

At the Origin Martial Artist stage, even with five or six awakened Star Pulses, one could usually cultivate two Star Techniques, and the limit was three Star Techniques.

So.

The choice of Star Technique is especially crucial.

"If I want to surpass Wugama nong and Yu Jinghe by the time I reach Level 29, it's best to cultivate a powerful Star Technique." Li Yuan smiled.

Three Star Techniques? That's too weak.

...

After considering everything, Li Yuan checked his smart ring, which had numerous messages awaiting his attention.

There were messages from Alicia and Si Feng.

And also from Wugama nong.

After reading them one by one.

"Everything seems normal. In the past eight hours, Alicia and her team eliminated a group of fleeing Moonward Divine Kingdom members, but they haven't encountered any further obstacles or powerful experts." Li Yuan thought to himself.

Following the recent battle at the Divine Palace Ruins, the entire Nexus Realm seemed to have calmed down.

"Wugama nong's intention."

"Can I start exploring the Divine Palace Ruins now? Explore its secrets and see if I can find any treasures?" Li Yuan pondered.

Why are two great civilizations fighting over the Nexus Realm?

Because the Divine Palace Ruins do indeed contain a great treasure, and a portion of this treasure that has been revealed... has given birth to a Demigod of the Seven Stars Civilization, the 'Flame City Demigod', and has also created a powerful Demigod family, with countless Skysoar Warriors emerging over the past hundred years.

So, if the entire treasure of the Nexus Realm could be obtained.

How valuable would it be?

"According to the Flame Clan's intention, Lan Yue should be following a path similar to that of her ancestor, the 'Flame City Demigod', venturing deeper into the ruins?" Li Yuan silently pondered.

Hmm.

Li Yuan slowly stood up.

"My physical qualities and Mental Energy have already reached their limits in the short term, but I can still make progress with Star Techniques."

Li Yuan had already made up his mind: "But with Star Techniques, I can still make progress."

"Earth Stellar Pulse True Interpretation", this Star Technique can still be cultivated.

"With the concentration of God Crystal energy in the Mysterious Stone Chamber, I should be able to cultivate it to its limit within a day or two." Li Yuan headed towards the bottom of the canyon, where the Mysterious Stone Chamber was located.

The place where Li Yuan cultivated was not far from the 'Mysterious Stone Chamber' at the bottom of the canyon, just a few kilometers away.

"Perfect."

"If I venture into the Divine Palace Ruins and get trapped inside, and the Moonward Divine Kingdom sends powerful experts to attack, Alicia and her team might not be able to hold them off."

"Mmhmm, if they send more people, I'll just slap them all to death." Li Yuan was confident in his own strength.

Mo Hu, a level of security.

The Moonward Divine Kingdom would be unlikely to send more powerful experts, as such talents are rare.

"Let's wait two more days to confirm that the Moonward Divine Kingdom won't dare to send more powerful experts into the Nexus Realm. Then, it won't be too late to venture into the Divine Palace Ruins."

Li Yuan didn't think there would be any issues with waiting for two days.

To be precise, if he cultivated an ultimate Star Technique to its peak, the chances of success would be even greater.

Soon.

In the darkness, Li Yuan followed his senses and approached the Mysterious Stone Chamber.

"A Black Beast?" Li Yuan's powerful Mental Energy allowed him to sense countless Black Beasts lurking in the darkness, watching him.

But perhaps having witnessed Li Yuan's strength, none of the Black Beasts dared to approach him, let alone surround him.

Unimpeded.

"The stone door closed again?" Li Yuan arrived at the entrance of the stone chamber and was stunned for a moment.

He remembered that he hadn't closed the stone door when he left... after all, he didn't know how to close it from the outside.

He thought for a moment.

Li Yuan placed his palms on the stone door, and with a slight exertion of his strength, the heavy stone door slowly opened under his push.

Boom!

A dense wave of Origin Power and God Crystal energy surged out from the stone door.

Li Yuan remained cautious and used his Divine Perception to confirm that there was no one inside the stone chamber.

"Enter!"

Stepping into the stone chamber, Li Yuan once again sat cross-legged, sensing the dense Earth God Crystal energy within. The cultivation methods of "Earth Stellar Pulse True Interpretation" appeared in his mind.

"Let's begin."

...

"Do we have to wait for another two days?" Alicia received a message from Li Yuan before he entered the stone chamber.

"Should we continue patrolling and guarding the Divine Palace Ruins?"

"Should we ask for help if we encounter any threats?" Alicia looked at Li Yuan's command.

After a moment of thought.

She conveyed the command to Si Feng, Kros, and the others.

"Alicia, that Li Yuan definitely has a big secret. I suspect he discovered something at the core of that vein?" A childlike voice echoed in Alicia's mind, "Why don't we go down to the bottom of the canyon and take a look?"

"No."

"Let's be cautious, and as for Li Yuan?" Alicia shook her head, unable to stop the image of the young man's handsome face from appearing in her mind, "He said two days, so let's wait for him for two days."

"We can ask him again in two days."

...

Time passed, and approximately five hours after Li Yuan entered the stone chamber.

In the originally dark stone chamber, a faint light appeared. Li Yuan, sitting cross-legged in the center, emanated a hazy yellowish-brown glow from his body.

"116,620 Life Stars."

"116,630 Life Stars." Li Yuan focused intently, and his powerful Psychic Consciousness continuously imprinted Star Scars on each Life Star.

Finally.

"116,640 Life Stars." Li Yuan precisely imprinted the final Star Scar.

This also represented that the Star Technique "Earth Stellar Pulse True Interpretation" had truly reached its first-tier limit.

In an instant!

"Boom!" Li Yuan's Perfect Star Vein erupted with dazzling light.

The brilliance was so intense that the entire stone chamber seemed like broad daylight.
