Chapter 285: Slashing Through the Sky! Attack!

Chapter 285: Slashing Through the Sky! Attack!



With the vision and perception of a True Intention Origin Warrior, Li Yuan could clearly see what was happening over ten kilometers away.

Moreover, the four powerful beings of the Cloud Beast Civilization were rushing over without any attempt to conceal themselves.

"Four Flying Heavens?" Yan Jing's expression changed drastically, "I thought the Cloud Beast Civilization only had two Flying Heaven leaders?"

Luo Chan remained silent, but her expression said it all.

"Two Flying Sky Beasts and two Second Stage Essence Beasts," Li Yuan's eyes narrowed, and his voice echoed in their minds, "Those two Flying Sky Beasts are the ones Elder Lin mentioned, Usahi and Zhipa."

"And those two Second Stage Essence Beasts are probably reinforcements from the Cloud Beast Civilization."

At a distance of over ten kilometers, Li Yuan couldn't use the Divine Palace Probe.

However, after condensing the Earth Essence, Li Yuan's perception was astonishing, and he could vaguely distinguish the differences between the four powerful figures... Flying with the Heaven Earth True Intention and harnessing Source Energy to fly were fundamentally different.

"The Cloud Beast Civilization's world-class genius?" Yan Jing and Luo Chan's expressions changed again; they weren't fools and immediately thought of various possibilities.

Why, in nearly a decade of numerous major battles, had Usahi and Zhipa never appeared to fight, but this time they chose to show up?

Why hadn't the Cloud Beast Civilization provided support before, but this time they sent two powerful beings in advance?

Why...

The numerous coincidences could only point to one thing—this was no coincidence; the Cloud Beast Civilization had a plan, and it was likely a carefully laid ambush.

It seemed like a slow revelation, but in reality, it took less than two seconds for Li Yuan, Yan Jing, and Luo Chan to finish their exchange.

"Retreat!"

The three transformed into streaks of light and rushed towards the territory of the Seven Stars Civilization.

Even someone as confident in his abilities as Li Yuan would never be so reckless as to charge into battle without hesitation.

At the very least, they couldn't engage in combat within the opponent's predetermined battlefield area.

After all, the Cloud Beast Civilization was well aware that they had three True Intention Origin Warriors on their side, and they had already demonstrated exceptional strength... Yet they still dared to attack, which meant they had some level of assurance.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The four powerful beings of the Cloud Beast Civilization roared through the sky, charging towards them.

"They've spotted us and are coming after us!" The massive purple ape's eyes gleamed with cold light.

"Can we escape?" Usahi asked coldly, "Yanxuan, Zhipa, follow me, let's attack first."

"Kim, you're the slowest, catch up later." Usahi, the blood-red flying snake, instructed.

"Okay." Kim nodded repeatedly.

Among the four powerful beings of the Cloud Beast Civilization, Usahi and Zhipa were mid-stage Flying Sky Warriors... Once they unleashed their full speed, they were incredibly fast.

As for Yanxuan? As a member of the flying snake clan, it was inherently adept at flying, and it had comprehended the Wind Essence, naturally enhancing its flight speed beyond that of an ordinary Flying Sky Realm.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" Usahi, Zhipa, and Yanxuan's speeds instantly surged, quickly approaching five times the speed of sound.

They relentlessly closed in on Li Yuan, Yan Jing, and Luo Chan.

With each passing second, the distance between the two sides narrowed by hundreds of meters... Within a minute, they would be completely caught up.

...

Outside the Star Realm, within the massive conference room serving as the command center.

"We've already killed over five thousand Second Rank Beasts, an astonishing achievement," a Flying Sky Warrior laughed, "At this rate, we might be able to kill over ten thousand Second Rank Beasts."

"Indeed, it's terrifying."

"With thousands of Second Rank Beasts, if ordinary troops were sent to fight, who knows how many casualties there would be," several Flying Sky Warriors in the conference room sighed.

Hai Xueyuan also had a relaxed expression.

Only Lin Yue's face was grave; after so long, Li Yuan and Luo Chan had been sweeping through with ease, which was surprising.

Years of experience fighting against various alien races had honed his instincts, and something felt amiss.

He couldn't quite put his finger on what exactly was wrong.

Suddenly.

"Not good." Lin Yue's expression changed slightly, "The Cloud Beast Civilization is counterattacking."

Whoosh~

A massive light screen projection appeared, immediately displaying the scene within the Star Realm... The image was constantly shaking, giving it a live-action feel.

In reality, this was Luo Chan activating the 'real-time filming' function of her Smart Ring.

Even with the shaking image.

Lin Yue and Hai Xueyuan still saw everything clearly.

Four massive beasts were chasing after them at an astonishing speed.

"Two Flying Sky Beasts and two Second Stage Essence Beasts, this is Li Yuan's assessment," Lin Yue's expression turned serious, and he spoke in a low voice, "The Cloud Beast Civilization had planned this all along."

In the conference room, everyone's smiles faded as they realized the severity of the situation.

After so many years of silence, the Cloud Beast Civilization had launched a fierce attack.

"Li Yuan and the others are currently fleeing," Lin Yue said gravely and a function to send the video to the command center.

"But they are only True Intention Origin Warriors, and Luo Chan isn't skilled in flight," Hai Xueyuan said solemnly, "Over a thousand kilometers... It won't be easy to shake them off."

Escape?

They could only fight while retreating.

"What about the contingency plan?" Lin Yue turned to another Flying Sky Warrior.

"The drone swarm has been dispatched, but it will take some time to arrive."

"The fighter jets carrying nuclear weapons have been dispatched," the Flying Sky Warrior said with a bitter smile, "The jets are equipped with Source Energy weapons, capable of easily killing Second Rank lifeforms."

"But you should all understand... It's almost impossible for Flying Sky Warriors to kill with technological weapons, at most causing some interference."

Everyone fell silent.

Skysoar Warriors, especially those who comprehend True Intention, possess an incredible vitality and an astonishing escape speed during critical moments... As long as they don't act foolishly, even nuclear weapons pose no threat to them.

For instance, they can instantly burrow underground in the blink of an eye.

Within a second, they can burrow hundreds of meters into the ground.

How could saturation fire be effective? Against True Intention Origin Warriors and True Intention Skysoar Warriors, a mere thought can form an Essence Domain, harnessing the power of heaven and earth, rendering most technological weapons completely ineffective.

Suddenly—

"Li Yuan."

"Li Yuan has stepped forward to face them," a Skysoar Warrior exclaimed, pointing at the light curtain projection.

"What?"

"Bad news," Lin Yue and Hai Xueyuan both quickly turned to look, their faces slightly changing.

On the flickering light curtain projection, the three mighty beings of the Cloud Beast Civilization had swiftly closed in, probably only two kilometers apart from each other... And just moments ago, Li Yuan had been fleeing alongside them.

His figure suddenly halted, and his speed sharply decreased.

He didn't turn back.

But by reducing his flying speed, he was effectively turning back to face the enemy.

At this moment, Lin Yue and Hai Xueyuan, who were observing the battle through the light curtain projection, felt their hearts leap to their throats.

They were aware of Li Yuan's strength, rumored to be comparable to Yu Jing He, but the Cloud Beast Civilization's power was also extremely terrifying.

These were at least two mid-stage Skysoar Warriors.

...

Within the Luo Bu Hai Star Realm, under the Blood Moon, on the vast and desolate mountain range—

"Li Yuan, no matter how strong you are, it's impossible for you to take on three opponents alone," Luo Chan's face paled.

"Li Yuan, we'll fight together," Yan Jing also became anxious.

Seeing Li Yuan suddenly stop, their flying speed also slowed down.

But the next instant—

"Run! Both of you, escape!" Li Yuan's voice was icy: "These aliens can't threaten me, but I can only hold them off. I can't guarantee your safety."

"I order you to flee immediately in the name of the captain. I won't joke with my life."

The Divine Consciousness Transmission was instantaneous.

Yan Jing and Luo Chan were both taken aback, but being decisive individuals, they quickly made their choice and increased their speed, continuing to fly away.

Because, whether it was Yan Jing or Luo Chan, they both deeply believed in Li Yuan's strength.

To speak of it slowly—

From the moment Li Yuan and Yan Jing discovered the Cloud Beast Civilization's side, to their escape, and then Li Yuan's decision to face the enemy alone... The entire process lasted less than a minute.

"This stupid human! How dare he stay behind alone to block us."

"He's not a Skysoar Warrior, just a True Intention Origin Warrior." The three mighty beasts were first shocked, but then they revealed bloodthirsty and ferocious expressions.

One person?

In their previous intelligence gathering, they had focused on this Earth Essence Warrior.

But after meeting him, and upon carefully sensing his power, they realized that this Earth Essence Warrior was not a Skysoar Warrior, so they completely let down their guard.

Not a Skysoar Warrior, only at the Sixth Stage Beginner level of True Intention comprehension... Naturally, they didn't consider him a major threat.

After all, creatures like the Blood Serpent Usai and the Purple-furred Ape Zi Pa were both True Intention Skysoar Warriors.

"If they join forces to block us, we'll have a tough fight. But this idiot dares to face us alone. We'll quickly finish him off and then go after the other two." Usai transmitted.

"Mhm."

"Understood." Zi Pa and Yan Xuan both responded.

Up to this point, they still hadn't realized their opponent was Li Yuan.

After all, Li Yuan had been completely covered by his battle armor from start to finish, making his face unrecognizable.

Usai and Zi Pa, who usually stayed in the Luo Bu Hai Star Realm, often received intelligence updates slowly.

Although they had heard of Li Yuan's name, their subconscious didn't connect the dots. They never imagined that the genius Li Yuan from the intelligence reports could have grown so quickly.

Therefore, they never suspected that the person before them was Li Yuan.

Both sides approached at lightning speed.

"Boom!" Li Yuan held a spear, and his body instantly transformed into a three-meter-tall giant, his life aura surging.

Facing the three mighty beings, Li Yuan dared not hold back and immediately unleashed the 'Mystic Body of Stars'.

"Body Refinement Star Technique? Such a powerful life aura."

"So what if it's a Body Refinement Star Technique? What can you do?" The three mighty beasts roared as they pounced from different directions.

Boom! Usai's massive snake body instantly dispersed countless cold air, mixed with water currents, spreading in all directions for hundreds of meters, as if freezing everything.

Boom! The cold air eroded and swept through everything, causing Li Yuan's Earth Domain to begin crumbling.

Even his body seemed to be subtly affected.

"Domain Star Technique?" Li Yuan instantly judged that his opponent was a 32nd-level Skysoar Warrior with powerful Source Energy. Even though Li Yuan's True Intention Domain was not a match.

Not a match, so he abandoned controlling the domain.

"Roar~" The purple-haired ape, already possessing a large body, nearly five meters tall, directly unleashed his Body Refinement Star Technique, transforming into an even more colossal figure.

He held a weapon resembling a wolf-tooth club, exuding a formidable aura.

"Boom!" The wolf-tooth club, over six meters long, emanated a golden air current as it slammed towards Li Yuan, causing the air to tremble violently.

"Whoosh!"

The black flying snake, with its slender body measuring only about two meters long, seemed petite, but its wings gleamed with silver light, resembling two massive battle blades, slicing towards Li Yuan.

As the Wing Blade slashed through the air, it seemed as though space itself was being sliced apart.

"Kill!"

Li Yuan grasped his long spear, and in a flash, his Source Energy surged, perfectly combining the Mysterious Wind and Earth Essence, enhancing the power of the Black Heaven Spear, a Demi-Sacred Artifact.

At the same time, Li Yuan activated his most powerful Star Art, "True Interpretation of Earth Star Pulse," and as the spear moved, it seemed to draw upon an even greater power, making this strike terrifyingly potent.

"Li Yuan!"

"Be careful," Yan Jing and Luo Chan shouted as they fled, still keeping an eye on Li Yuan's battle with the three powerful Beast Blood Source warriors from a distance of two kilometers.

"Hua!"

A spear beam, with endless sharpness, contained an unmatched terrifying might, tearing through the sky!

"Boom, boom, boom!" The layers of frost that had just enveloped Li Yuan shattered and dispersed.

As the giant Wing Blade of the Black Flying Snake Yanxuan collided with the spear, his expression changed drastically, and a trace of fear flashed in his eyes.

But it was already too late.

With a tearing sound, the spear pierced through Yanxuan's incredibly sturdy wings, and the terrifying power ripped downwards from the wound.

"Ahh!" Yanxuan let out a painful roar, and his wings were torn apart by more than half.

A string of blood splattered into the sky.

With just one strike, the Black Flying Snake Yanxuan was severely injured, and his body flipped as he fell downwards.

"Break!"

As Li Yuan thrust his spear, he swiftly spun it, rotating with immense power, and slammed it onto the ferocious wolf-toothed club that was smashing down.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

The terrifying collision was like the impact of two falling meteors, sending visible shockwaves rippling out for dozens of kilometers.

"Boom, boom, boom!" The mountains below instantly began to collapse and fall, with countless boulders flying in all directions.

Boom! The massive purple-haired ape was sent flying backwards.

Li Yuan's entire body also fell downwards, plummeting over a hundred meters before stabilizing.

"Body Refinement Star Art! It's so violent when attacking, especially with the condensed Gold Essence." Li Yuan frowned slightly.

From the head-on collision, Li Yuan understood that he was at a slight disadvantage.

In terms of technique, weaponry, and other aspects, he held an absolute advantage.

Regarding Star Arts, both sides were evenly matched.

But the opponent was a Level 32! With a much stronger foundation than Li Yuan, and having mastered the True Intention, which excelled in offense, he naturally had the upper hand in direct combat.

However, it was only a slight advantage.

The most crucial point was that every head-on collision would inflict significant damage on Li Yuan's body due to the terrifying impact force. Li Yuan's eyes turned icy: "If I engage in repeated head-on clashes with him, I'm definitely not his match."

"But I don't need to fight him head-on."

The previous head-on collision with the spear was just Li Yuan testing his most powerful burst, wanting to gauge the strength of his spear attack.

Now that he knew the outcome, it was time to end the fight using his most proficient method.

Huff!

Li Yuan moved, and faint green energy currents appeared around him as he darted like lightning towards the Black Flying Snake, which had caused severe damage and was now fleeing in panic.

It's better to cut off one finger than to injure ten.

In a sense, killing a True Intention Second Stage Beast Blood Source had more value than killing an ordinary Flying Sky Beast Blood Source.

"This is bad," thought the frantically fleeing Black Flying Snake as fear flashed in its eyes.

Having endured a strike from Li Yuan's spear, it was well aware of the human warrior's terrifying strength.

"Stop!"

The other Blood Serpent, Usai, roared in anger, its wings trembling. Its massive body lunged forward, and its huge mouth opened, spewing out a terrifying stream of freezing light.

Like a river of frost, it rushed towards Li Yuan, freezing the air along its path, as if layer upon layer were being frozen and trapped, reaching the pinnacle of terror.

At the same time—

"Sizzle!" An invisible mental attack, accompanied by the frost, instantly penetrated Li Yuan's mind.

"Die!" Madness flashed in Usai's eyes, eager to see Li Yuan frozen to death.

This was another offensive Star Art he had cultivated—the Frost River! The frost contained astonishing corrosive power, capable of severely injuring even top-tier Source Warriors with the slightest touch.

Usai's spiritual power was quite formidable, so he specialized in cultivating Spiritual Secret Arts, hoping to affect his opponents slightly before the Frost River arrived to strike them down.

"Buzz!"

Li Yuan, under the mental attack, merely revealed a hint of mockery on his face.

Mental attack? A Flying Sky Mid-Stage Beast Blood Source, a Demi-God, was barely enough to use a mental attack on him.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Facing the approaching Frost River, Li Yuan moved, instantly splitting into three, each scattering over a hundred meters, easily dodging this terrifying attack.

"Not affected at all? How powerful is his spiritual power?" Usai was shocked: "And he can even create so many phantom bodies? How is this possible?"

"Isn't he a master of Earth Essence? Could he be a Double True Intention expert?"

"Damn it, a hidden human talent, so strong, and he didn't even tell us!" Usai was both furious and bewildered.

When did the Seven Star Civilization produce such a formidable Source Warrior? There was no news at all before!

"Kill!" Li Yuan, unleashing his full power, had his three shadows flash and rush towards the Black Snake Yanxuan like three streams of light.

Whoosh! Usai's wings spun, and he roared, releasing a terrifying frost as he charged into close combat with one of Li Yuan's shadows, attempting to block his path.

"Ha!" The monkey Zi Pa roared, brandishing his massive wolf-tooth club and sweeping it across the heavens, aiming to crush one of Li Yuan's bodies.

"Boom~"

"Pfft~" The two Li Yuan figures, like fleeting illusions, instantly vanished.

"Fake?"

"Damn it!" Usai and Zi Pa, both shocked and enraged, roared and charged towards Li Yuan.

Whoosh! Li Yuan's true body, like lightning, darted past the two Flying Sky beasts, finally approaching the fleeing Black Snake Yan Xuan. He was a bit flustered.

Yan Xuan knew that with his own strength, he couldn't possibly withstand Li Yuan. His only chance at survival was to stall until Usai and Zi Pa arrived.

"Swoosh!"

The long spear, like a flying snake, cast a shadow that seemed to contain countless variations of moves, unpredictably attacking the Black Snake Yan Xuan.

"I must survive! Survive!" Black Snake Yan Xuan's eyes fixed on the spear.

His injured wings were rapidly recovering, and with a sudden burst, he followed closely behind, his massive wings slicing through the sky.

"Pfft~" The wing blade grazed the spear shaft, avoiding a direct clash, and instead, it retracted immediately.

He had dodged the spear.

"I dodged it! If I can dodge one spear, I might be able to dodge the second one too." Black Snake Yan Xuan rejoiced inwardly, exerting all his strength to keep his eyes on Li Yuan's long spear.

"Pfft!"

"Swoosh~" "Boom!" Two more spears tore through the sky, and although one grazed Black Snake Yan Xuan, causing his blood to boil, he managed to dodge them.

At this moment, in his desperation to survive, Black Snake Yan Xuan pushed himself to the limit, striving to maximize his agility.

This left Li Yuan momentarily at a loss.

"Hmm?" A hint of surprise flashed in Li Yuan's eyes as he vaguely sensed something mysterious in the frantically writhing body of the Black Snake.

The rhythm of the wind.

Li Yuan, having trained with the Half-Deity Lie Wind for a year, was already close to the Fifth Stage limit, just a step away from grasping the embryonic form of the Wind Essence.

But he had been unable to break through.

Until this moment.

From the Black Snake Yan Xuan's body, Li Yuan vaguely sensed something.

It wasn't that Yan Xuan's realm was higher than Lie Wind's, providing better guidance for Li Yuan.

Instead, it was an inexplicable opportunity that, at this moment, triggered something within Li Yuan, allowing his past accumulations to further break through and transform.

"Pfft!"

"Boom~"

Several spears flew by, but Li Yuan still couldn't hit Black Snake Yan Xuan... It was clear that in the face of life and death, Yan Xuan had also entered an extremely mysterious state.

"Human, die!"

"Kill!" Blood Serpent Usai and Zi Pa had arrived, each unleashing their attacks towards Li Yuan.

The attacks were ferocious and fierce.

"Are they here?"

Li Yuan sensed the attacks coming from behind and, with a thought, he once again used his Star Art to instantly create four phantom bodies.

The rhythm of the wind!

The four phantoms darted and weaved, dodging the attacks of the two Flying Sky beasts while simultaneously thrusting their spears towards Black Snake Yan Xuan.

"Swoosh!"

This spear, spinning, contained the vast and fierce Earth Essence, with the mysterious wind surrounding it from all sides.

Continuously condensing and merging, it integrated into the Earth Essence.

The combination of these two Essences created an incredibly intricate fusion, generating a subtle change that allowed Li Yuan to vaguely perceive a vast and unfathomable fluctuation in the heavens and earth.

This fluctuation flashed by in an instant.

But the mysterious rhythm also made the power of this spear reach an unprecedented peak, surpassing any previous attacks by Li Yuan. Its speed was terrifying.

Four spears erupted simultaneously!

"Swoosh~" Four faint spear lights remained in the void.

Three lights vanished, leaving only the last one, dazzling and heart-shaking.

Only the true spear remained.

"No! I mustn't die!" Black Snake Yan Xuan was horrified, a hint of fear flashing in his eyes.

What kind of spear is this? How could it be so much stronger than before? It shouldn't be! If this human warrior had such power, he should have killed me with the first spear.

In an instant, numerous doubts flooded Black Snake Yan Xuan's mind, along with a deep fear of death.

"Pfft!"

Too fast!

Too fierce!

The spear had already pierced through Black Snake Yan Xuan's wing blade and into his gaping mouth, blood-filled mouth, directly penetrating his skull! Yan Xuan, dead!

At this moment, the heavens and earth seemed to quiet down.

Blood Serpent Usai and Monkey Zi Pa were both shocked, witnessing this scene. They could vaguely sense the terrifying power of this spear.

"What?"

"That spear?" Yan Jing and Luo Chan, fleeing in the distance, and Lin Yue, Hai Xueyuan, and others watching the battle from outside the Star Realm, were all equally shocked by this scene.

In a very short time, Li Yuan had killed a True Intention Second Stage beast, including two powerful Flying Sky warriors?

...Huff!

The four Li Yuan figures in the void turned around simultaneously, looking at Blood Serpent Usai and Monkey Zi Pa, who were still in shock. Li Yuan revealed his teeth and said, "It's time to send you on your way!"

The two Flying Sky beasts exchanged a glance.

"Run!" Their massive bodies instantly retreated, fleeing into the distance.

"Run?"

"Can they escape?" Li Yuan took a step forward, combining the mysteries of the two Essences, sensing the vastness of the earth and the fluctuations of the Wind Essence... His speed instantly soared.
