Chapter 284: Sweeping Away All Obstacles

Chapter 284: Sweeping Away All Obstacles



Li Yuan, Yan Jing, and Luo Chan boarded individual flying vehicles and entered the Louhaihai Star Realm.

Within a short time, the three vehicles separated, each heading towards different targets in the vicinity.

The vast land stretched before them, with a blood moon hanging high in the sky. Majestic mountain ranges extended deep into the earth, their rugged terrain and sparse vegetation creating a sense of grandeur and beauty.

However, the visible wreckage scattered across the mountains and the remnants of technological weapons were enough to reveal the brutal and bloody nature of this star realm.

Inside one of the flying vehicles, Luo Chan sat quietly, waiting for the vehicle to automatically cruise to its predetermined destination.

Suddenly, a deep voice resonated within the vehicle.

"Luo Chan?" Luo Chan immediately opened her eyes.

"I have something to report regarding your comrade Li Yuan's strength. Since there were other Flying Heaven Rank warriors present in the conference room earlier, I couldn't openly discuss it." Lin Yue's voice was low, "His strength is already comparable to that of Jing He."

"What?" Luo Chan was shocked.

Earlier, in the conference room, when she heard Lin Yue mention that Li Yuan's strength surpassed her own, she was already surprised.

Now, Lin Yue was saying that Li Yuan's strength rivaled that of Jing He?

It was common knowledge that during the past year, in the numerous battles at Bright Mountain, Jing He had proven through his actions that his strength was no weaker than that of Rudnev.

Li Yuan? Had he grown so quickly?

"Is this information reliable?" Luo Chan couldn't help but ask.

"It's absolutely accurate," Lin Yue replied in a low voice. "As for his specific combat abilities, I can't reveal them to you for now... Just know that if you encounter danger, you can trust him as you would trust Jing He."

"I understand," Luo Chan nodded.

She could comprehend that if Lin Yue's words were true, then Li Yuan's growth rate was terrifying, and he would undoubtedly become a thorn in the side of the alien civilizations.

If it weren't for Li Yuan's participation in this battle, they wouldn't have become allies.

With her identity and strength, she wouldn't even be qualified to access such information.

"Be cautious in life-and-death battles, prioritize self-preservation over killing the enemy," Lin Yue added before ending the communication.

Luo Chan sat in the flying vehicle, her heart unable to calm down for a long time.

...

In another flying vehicle, Li Yuan observed the outside world.

He had only seen the Louhaihai Star Realm in documentaries before, but now he was here in person.

"According to the intelligence," Li Yuan thought, "The entrance to the star realm has a radius of three thousand kilometers, which is within our sphere of influence."

"The three mother nest beast lairs of the Cloud Beast Civilization are located within this range, with the closest one being approximately nine thousand kilometers from the entrance."

"The twenty-eight forward bases they have established are all within five thousand kilometers of the star realm entrance."

"My first target is about four thousand kilometers from the star realm entrance." Li Yuan glanced at the information displayed on the smart cruise system, "In about four hours, I should be able to reach the edge of our sphere of influence."

Whoosh! The flying vehicle flew at an extremely low altitude along the mountain canyons. Even if they were discovered by infiltrating spies from the Cloud Beast Civilization, they were unlikely to be identified as Flying Heaven Rank... but it was always better to be cautious.

...

Four hours later.

At the overall command center outside the star realm.

"All three of them have already left their flying vehicles and begun the final stealth approach," Lin Yue suddenly spoke softly.

"I hope they all return safely," Hai Xueyuan said from the side.

The other Flying Heaven Rank warriors from the military had eager anticipation in their eyes.

...

On the mountain range shrouded in blood, the wind howled fiercely.

Li Yuan landed lightly on the ground and couldn't help but look up at the flying vehicle that had already risen into the sky.

The flying vehicle only transported them 3000 kilometers, and they had to cover the last 1000 kilometers to their destination on their own.

"It's so desolate," Li Yuan frowned slightly.

According to the intelligence, the mother nest beast lairs of the Cloud Beast Civilization absorbed the energy of the land as nourishment. Wherever they went, the once thriving and vibrant land would turn into a lifeless wasteland.

"In this battle, I have to rely on myself," Li Yuan silently vowed.

During his first mission in the Ming Xu Star Realm, he was only responsible for reconnaissance, while Liu Jing, the senior, was the main force. In the end, he didn't even have the qualifications to participate in the final clash between the two great civilizations.

The second time, in the Lieyu Star Realm, he was only involved in the Inner World battles, and the most intense star realm battles were handled by Rudnev and his team.

Now, it was his third time.

"After such a long time, it's finally my turn to shoulder the responsibility," Li Yuan's eyes shone with a faint light, "The Louhaihai Star Realm is a cancer on our Xia Guo, and I will do my utmost to eradicate it."

Since childhood, Li Yuan had heard countless stories about the wars in Louhaihai, where countless humans had perished, and even his uncle had nearly lost his life there. Xia Guo had spent a significant amount of its resources and millions of lives in that place.

After reviewing the various intelligence reports on Louhaihai, Li Yuan was determined to thoroughly cleanse the entire region.

"Yu Dage, Rudnev, and the others couldn't accomplish this, but my strength is already comparable to theirs, and I will become even stronger in the future... I have the hope to make it happen."

Perhaps the Seven Stars Civilization's higher-ups didn't have high expectations of Li Yuan, but Li Yuan had high expectations of himself.

If he had the ability, he would do his best.

One couldn't always rely on future generations.

"This time, I'll start by collecting some debts," Li Yuan moved, sensing the energy fluctuations around him. With a thought, the light around him subtly distorted, concealing his figure, and he flew towards his target like a gust of wind.

In this state, unless other powerful beings sensed his presence through their divine consciousness, it was almost impossible to detect Li Yuan's existence if they were even slightly further away.

Time passed, and Li Yuan stood under the illumination of the Blood Moon.

He crossed the desolate mountain ranges, canyons, and rivers, constantly moving forward.

"So many beasts," Li Yuan observed numerous beasts along the way, none of which were aware of his presence.

Li Yuan's divine sense had a limited range of detection.

However, having condensed the Earth's True Intention, he could perceive through the earth's vibrations. His perception was astonishing, and even from a distance of several dozen kilometers, he could sense some life force vibrations.

Two hours later.

"It's here," Li Yuan said, standing atop a mountain, his aura seemingly restrained as he gazed at a distant mountain several kilometers away.

He didn't approach any closer.

At first glance, this mountain and the adjacent peaks didn't seem extraordinary.

But this was one of the Cloud Beast Civilization's forward bases mentioned in the intelligence, the result of countless first- and second-rank warriors from the Seven Star Civilization who had ventured deep into the exploration.

At the same time, as Li Yuan approached, he could also sense the abundant life force vibrations within the mountain through the earth's vibrations.

"I'm ready and can take action at any time," Li Yuan sent a message to Yan Jing and Luo Chan.

Li Yuan patiently waited.

After more than ten minutes, Luo Chan sent a message: "I'm ready too."

A while later, Yan Jing finally replied, "I'm in position."

Everyone had arrived.

"In thirty seconds, we'll launch a simultaneous attack, killing all second-rank beasts, and then rush to the next target," commanded Lin Yue, the supreme commander.

...

Thirty seconds later.

Boom! Li Yuan burst forth like a gust of wind, completely blending with the heavens and earth, almost skimming the ground... Instantly accelerating to the speed of sound, he reached the base of the massive mountain and a seemingly inconspicuous cave in just ten seconds.

This cave was hidden behind layers of concealment. From a distance, it would be impossible to discover, but it couldn't escape Li Yuan's perception through the earth's vibrations.

"Two," Li Yuan's divine sense swept the entrance, revealing two second-rank beasts lurking there.

They hadn't noticed Li Yuan's approach.

A hint of killing intent flashed in Li Yuan's eyes as he directly unleashed the power of two mysterious forces.

Boom! Boom! Two streams of earthy yellow energy, like sharp cones, penetrated the ground, strengthening and multiplying the effect of countless steel needles. With a swift sound, they pierced through the skulls of the two second-rank beasts.

Instantly, the eyes of the two beasts widened in shock, and their heads began to gush blood as they lost consciousness.

Dead!

As a True Intention Origin Warrior, Li Yuan's combined power of the two mysterious forces was terrifying, effortlessly slaughtering 22nd-level second-rank beasts within his domain.

This was the terrifying power of his advanced skills.

Just like the might of rules, once fully unleashed, it could easily annihilate ordinary Flying Heaven Warriors. With the combined might of Li Yuan's two mysterious forces, he could sweep through large numbers of second-rank beasts.

"There's no need to delay once we start," Li Yuan said coldly.

Boom! Unleashing the power of the Heavenly True Intention, Li Yuan's speed exploded, transforming into a streak of earthy yellow light that rushed into the cave and the base within.

At the same time, in the sky and underground, even in the soil and rocks, a giant sphere seemed to form out of thin air within a fifty-meter radius around Li Yuan, as if a giant sphere had materialized.

This was the True Intention Domain formed by integrating the Earth's True Intention with the Mysterious Wind!

...

The Cloud Beast Civilization's forward base naturally had numerous alert measures.

Ordinary Flying Heaven Warriors had a certain chance of being detected if they approached, but Li Yuan's stealth skills were highly advanced.

Although far inferior to Rudnev, this forward base couldn't detect his presence in advance.

Until Li Yuan truly unleashed his power and charged in, the most powerful beasts in this forward base finally became aware.

Deep underground, there was a massive chamber.

The chamber was filled with various instruments.

Inside, several large beasts with intelligent gleams in their eyes, resembling flying snakes and apes, were present.

They had been calm moments ago, but suddenly, the constant tremors and explosions above made their faces pale with fear.

"Not good, there's an enemy invasion."

"It's a Flying Heaven Warrior."

"Alert!"

"Run!" These powerful beasts, some resembling flying snakes and others like apes, were the leaders of this forward base.

Not long ago, they had been planning an attack on certain bases of the Seven Star Civilization, but now they were all in a panic.

Boom! The heavy stone doors of the chamber slammed shut, sealing off the upward passage.

Crack! On the other side of the chamber, the previously solid mountain wall suddenly opened like a door, revealing a secret escape route.

"Go!"

"Run!" Just as these powerful second-rank beasts were about to flee, their eyes filled with fear before they could even move.

"Boom!!!"

As if the sky was falling, the thick ceiling above them exploded, sending countless rocks flying in all directions.

Then, strands of earthy yellow energy appeared out of thin air, slicing through the bodies of these second-rank beasts from all directions like blades, attempting to kill them instantly.

"Puchi~" A spray of blood erupted as the beasts' seemingly impenetrable fur was sliced open.

"Ah!"

"It's an Essence Domain!"

"How can this domain be so powerful? It's much stronger than the domains of those from the Mother Nest Lair."

"Hold on!" These second-rank perfect beasts had their own language, and they roared at each other.

Immediately, a powerful Source Energy appeared on their bodies, merging with their flesh and blood, resisting the onslaught of the Essence Domain attack.

"Puchi~"

"Boom~" These second-rank perfect beasts, empowered by their Source Energy, even managed to cast Star Arts, successfully withstanding Li Yuan's Essence Domain.

Huff! Amidst the swirling earth-yellow air currents, the air suddenly dispersed, revealing a figure completely shrouded in a black robe, making it impossible to discern their facial features.

However, the terrifying aura they exuded caused these second-rank perfect beasts to tremble in fear, as they realized this was the attacker.

"Die!"

Li Yuan's eyes turned icy, and a Black Heaven Spear suddenly appeared in his hand. Infused with Source Energy, the spear's glow pierced forward.

The power of Source Energy, the mystery of Essence, and the might of the weapon merged perfectly.

Suddenly, a terrifying spear glow erupted.

The dazzling spear light slashed through the air, striking at the second-rank perfect beasts with terrifying power, directly piercing through their defenses formed by Source Energy and resilient flesh and blood, instantly decapitating them.

Dead! In a single encounter, he had crushed and killed them.

"So weak. They're level 29, but without Source Energy battle armor and with barely any training in Star Arts, they're relying solely on their powerful physical bodies to endure." Li Yuan shook his head slightly.

A top-tier Source Warrior, when defending with all their might, would require at least two spear strikes from Li Yuan to defeat.

But Li Yuan didn't know that among the countless beasts born in the Mother Nest Lair, those with true potential had already been taken away, leaving behind only defective ones... Even so, these second-rank perfect beasts, under normal circumstances, wouldn't directly engage in combat, serving only as commanders.

"Next."

Li Yuan soared into the sky, flying swiftly upward from the underground chamber, passing through layer after layer of caves... Each cave was filled with countless beast corpses, their blood forming a river.

Every cave had a massive hole, freshly created by Li Yuan's forceful destruction.

He charged forward, killing his way in.

Li Yuan took approximately 12 seconds to consecutively attack 6 layers of caves, eliminating all the beasts that his Divine Consciousness had detected in this forward base.

"Target 1 completed, 834 second-rank beasts killed, none escaped. He's now heading towards Target 4." Li Yuan sent a message to the command center.

Boom! The seemingly calm mountain suddenly erupted with a terrifying blast, rocks tumbling and a huge cave appearing at the summit, from which a column of earth-yellow light soared into the sky.

The first target was a surprise attack, requiring stealth.

But once the assault began, speed was crucial! The faster, the better!

"Next target, estimated arrival within three minutes." Li Yuan's eyes turned icy. "Kill!"

Boom! Li Yuan transformed into a beam of light, merging with the heavens, and his speed skyrocketed to four times the normal rate.

Star Realm, Command Center.

Lin Yue, Hai Xueyuan, and Yan Jing were all present, aware that the assault by the three True Intention Origin Warriors had commenced.

Would they be able to dismantle this round of attacks from the Cloud Beast Civilization?

Suddenly—

"Good!" Lin Yue exclaimed, his eyes gleaming with joy. "One target down, Li Yuan has completed Target 1, killing 834 second-rank beasts without a single escape. He's now heading towards Target 4."

"Good."

"Impressive." Everyone was excited, at least a portion of the targets had been achieved.

"No news yet on Target 2." Lin Yue shook his head.

Nearly twenty seconds passed.

"Luo Chan's message: Target 2 completed, some second-rank beasts escaped, but over 600 killed." Lin Yue whispered. "Yan Jing's message: Over 500 second-rank beasts killed, but the mission wasn't fully accomplished."

The command center fell silent.

When the first message arrived, they were thrilled, but upon comparison, they realized the true extent of Li Yuan's prowess.

"This is a blessing."

"Having a genius like Li Yuan is a blessing for Xia Guo and the Seven-star Civilization." Lin Yue whispered.

The first round of attacks by Li Yuan, Yan Jing, and Luo Chan was indeed astonishing.

But such a large-scale assault.

The Cloud Beast Civilization, even with their quick reaction time, was well-prepared.

Approximately two thousand kilometers from the base attacked by Li Yuan.

The continuous mountain range, with two of its mountains forming a vast canyon, was now shrouded in countless black mists.

If Lin Yue and Hai Xueyuan were here, they would undoubtedly discover a rapidly growing Mother Nest Lair.

One side of the canyon's mountain had been completely hollowed out.

"What's going on?"

"Was the forward base attacked?"

"Has the Seven-star Civilization's counterattack finally arrived?"

"Are they trying to disrupt our offensive?" Within the mountain, five powerful presences had gathered, sensing the situation.

They gazed at the three light projections in the middle, observing the battle scenes.

This was before several Forward Bases were destroyed, automatically transmitting back.

In one of the projections, they only saw a blurry black figure flash by, and a terrifying gun beam swept across, instantly sweeping everything away.

In the other two scenes, the battles were much more intense, and it was more exciting for them to watch.

"What a powerful marksmanship."

"The Essence Domain, its might is actually this strong? It's probably approaching mid-level True Intention." The Cloud Beast Civilization's five geniuses immediately judged.

The mysterious powerful one who condensed the Earth Essence was the most formidable.

"One of them is Luo Chan, an old rival." Blood Serpent Usai's eyes turned cold, and her voice carried a chilling murderous intent.

Usai had fought with Luo Chan twice and recognized her.

"The bait has taken the hook."

"So arrogant, these should all be True Intention Origin Warriors... However, the Earth Essence one might be a Flying Sky Warrior."

"Her domain probably hasn't reached the sixth stage intermediate level, otherwise it wouldn't be able to directly annihilate those."

"Even if it's a Flying Sky Warrior, its strength is comparable to Usai and Zi Pa, and it should have broken through not long ago. Its strength is highly likely to be around the same level as us." The five geniuses discussed.

Even though Flying Sky Warriors have a high technique realm, refining the Source Core also requires a significant amount of time.

"Kim, Yanxuan."

The Blood Serpent looked at the two new powerful ones: "For many years, I and Zi Pa, Alden have been wary of Rudnev and Yu Jing He. We've been enduring and dare not take action."

"The Seven Star Civilization probably doesn't know that their secret has already been exposed."

"This time, the higher-ups of the civilization have specifically sent the two of you over, greatly increasing our overall strength."

"This time, we must give them a surprise and strive to annihilate these Flying Sky-level forces." Usai solemnly said.

"Rest assured."

"The Half Deity sent us here to cooperate with you, aiming to occupy the Louhaih Star Realm in one move." The one named 'Kim' solemnly said.

His body wasn't too massive, completely black in color, with eight legs growing on it, resembling a giant spider.

"Kim is skilled in Restraint, and I'm skilled in Poison Fog." The black serpent named Yanxuan solemnly said, and its outer layer of scales had a faint layer of dazzling light, making the other few beasts reluctant to approach.

Poison is something that inspires great wariness.

Kim and Yanxuan are both world-class geniuses sent by the Cloud Beast Civilization, and they have already condensed the True Intention... Combined with their own natural talents, they can unleash extremely formidable strength.

"There's no time to waste."

"Alden, you stay here and protect the Mother Nest Lair."

"The target of these humans is definitely those Forward Bases." Usai solemnly said: "We'll go and kill them now."

"I'll make the armies in those Forward Bases retreat slowly, so that they won't notice our actions... Yet, it will attract their continuous attention."

"Kill them."

"Kill!"

Soon, four massive beasts left the mountain's belly and quickly transformed into four streams of light, leaving this Mother Nest Lair.

With their flying speed, even if they deliberately slowed down and reduced the heaven and earth fluctuations.

2,000 kilometers would also take less than an hour to arrive.

...

One hour later.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" In the continuous mountain range, a seemingly ordinary mountain body suddenly erupted with intense sounds, as if a big explosion was happening.

"Rumble~" Accompanied by a dazzling earth-yellow light, the massive mountain body collapsed.

Gradually, the interior of the mountain was revealed... Numerous beast corpses rolled down.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Whoosh! Three streams of light pierced through the layers of dirt and had already reached hundreds of meters in the air, revealing Li Yuan, Yan Jing, and Luo Chan.

"So powerful."

"Such a terrifying marksmanship." Luo Chan was full of admiration for Li Yuan, and her eyes only held admiration.

That previous shot.

At the bottom of the cave, it directly swept a large area, annihilating dozens of Tier 2 beasts, completely eliminating their thoughts of escape.

This made her no longer have any doubts about Li Yuan's strength.

"11th target, completed."

Yan Jing's face showed a hint of excitement: "We've killed over five thousand Tier 2 beasts."

The three, after annihilating the two Forward Bases of the Cloud Beast Civilization, had already gathered according to the plan and continued the slaughter.

None of the Forward Bases could withstand their attacks.

"I feel something strange, like the Cloud Beast Civilization is using these Tier 2 beasts as bait, intentionally luring us." Luo Chan solemnly said: "Their reaction is too slow."

"Their reaction does seem a bit slow." Li Yuan frowned.

Suddenly.

"I understand, it's not that their reaction is slow." Li Yuan abruptly turned her head, her gaze calm as she looked into the distance: "They're using these Tier 2 beasts as decoys, intentionally luring us. The formidable ones have arrived."

Li Yuan's hand already gripped the Black Heaven Spear tightly.

"Not good!"

"Flying Sky Realm?" Yan Jing and Luo Chan also sensed the powerful auras rapidly approaching from over ten kilometers away.

"It's Usai." Luo Chan further sensed a familiar aura.
