Chapter 287: Killing to the Mother Nest! Who is He?

Chapter 287: Killing to the Mother Nest! Who is He?

"Li Yuan is going to kill him."

"What about us?" Yan Jing and Luo Chan hesitated upon hearing Li Yuan's command.

Suddenly, Lin Yue's voice sounded in both their ears simultaneously, "Follow Li Yuan's instructions."

"Yes!" Yan Jing and Luo Chan responded immediately and transformed into two streaks of light, swiftly heading towards the other target areas as planned.

Whoosh! Li Yuan's body pulsated with the fluctuations of two great True Intent mysteries, his mind fused with the earth, and he keenly sensed the invisible wind fluctuations, quickly closing in on the fleeing Monkey Zi Pa in the distance.

"He's running so fast! I can only shorten the distance by a hundred meters per second?" Li Yuan was secretly astonished.

This indicated that their flying speeds were very close.

Flying speed is determined by various factors such as the mysteries of heaven and earth, Source Energy, Star Arts, and treasure artifacts.

As a Source Warrior, Li Yuan relied purely on the mysteries of heaven and earth to maintain flight, achieving a speed of approximately five times the speed of sound, which was already considered fast among flying warriors.

"If I achieve Flying Sky, my powerful Source Energy will further increase my flying speed." Li Yuan thought to himself.

Boom! Li Yuan pursued relentlessly, unhurried.

As long as the distance between them was shrinking, and he could lock onto the other's life aura... he would definitely catch up.

Boom! The thick, sturdy legs stomped in the void, and then the figure transformed into a streak of light, fleeing for its life.

Monkey Zi Pa fled desperately, his heart trembling, and even filled with some indignation: "Yanxuan is dead, Kim is dead, even Usai is dead... and he's still chasing me? How ruthless!"

All his companions were dead, leaving him alone.

"His flying speed is faster than mine."

"He'll catch up to me sooner or later." Monkey Zi Pa's mind raced: "I can't escape unless I reach one of the major Mother Nest Lair."

"I must escape to Alden! The fourth Mother Nest Lair has developed significantly and can unleash sufficient strength." Monkey Zi Pa made a swift decision.

Among the four Mother Nest Lairs, three were mature and known to the Seven Star Civilization, but they had always been unshakeable.

The last one was newly established by the Cloud Beast Civilization and was still growing.

"As long as I reach it alive, I'll survive." Monkey Zi Pa's heart was filled with longing.

According to the rules, he shouldn't have led Li Yuan to kill him.

But survival was the top priority!

The other three mature Mother Nest Lairs were all over 3,000 kilometers away from him.

Only the fourth Mother Nest Lair was about 1,200 kilometers away.

Boom! Boom! The two powerful figures, one chasing and one fleeing, tore through the sky, their bodies merging with the heavens... their control over their power was perfect during flight.

If it were a life-and-death battle, it would be difficult to control their power so perfectly.

...

"Li Yuan, be careful."

Lin Yue's voice suddenly sounded in Li Yuan's ear: "He's fleeing for his life in a straight line, but it's not towards the direction of the three major Mother Nest Lairs."

"What?" Li Yuan was taken aback for a moment. The chase had been so intense that it had only been a few seconds since he killed Usai. He hadn't realized this detail yet.

"There are three possibilities." Lin Yue's voice continued, "First, there might be a Flying Sky-level force from the Cloud Beast Civilization heading towards him."

"Second, there might be a place along his escape route that can ensure his survival."

"Third, he might have taken the wrong route, or he's intentionally leading you astray... but that's almost meaningless. The locations of the three major Mother Nest Lairs have been exposed, and he should be aware of that."

"I understand." Li Yuan had grasped Lin Yue's meaning. Flying Sky-level warriors could fly in a straight line, and there was no need to take detours.

Flying in a straight line was the shortest path.

And Monkey Zi Pa, who didn't even try to save Usai, was determined to escape. He must have a reason to flee.

"Could there be something ahead that can block me or threaten my life?" Li Yuan's heart stirred with caution.

Although his strength had greatly increased, he could only hope to escape from a Flying Sky Peak-level warrior, not invincible.

There were too many things that could threaten his life.

But Li Yuan wouldn't give up the pursuit... as long as he killed this Zi Pa, the threat from the Cloud Beast Civilization in the Louhaihaihe Realm would be greatly reduced.

After all, it would be extremely difficult for the Cloud Beast Civilization to cultivate another Flying Sky Mid-level warrior in the Louhaihaihe Realm.

If he didn't kill Zi Pa today and let him escape, he might hide for decades before reappearing... how could Li Yuan possibly remain at the Source Warrior level for so long?

"I can't rely on another Source Warrior with greater strength than me to be born among us." Li Yuan's eyes were determined. "I must kill him."

"After that, I can attempt to uproot the three major Mother Nest Lairs, thoroughly clearing the Louhaihaihe Realm and restoring peace to Xia Nation." Li Yuan never forgot his original intention throughout this journey.

The three major Mother Nest Lairs were right there and wouldn't leave.

...

Over a thousand kilometers away.

In the mountainside near the fourth Mother Nest Lair, one of the three remaining Flying Sky Beasts, the black beast 'Alden', gazed at the scene revealed in the projection with shock.

The scenes in the three projections were chaotic and somewhat blurry.

They were images and messages sent by Kim, Usai, and others before their deaths, as well as messages sent back by Zi Pa... a figure in black, with an unrecognizable face, but an overwhelming and domineering presence, a chilling long spear piercing the sky. Such strength and dominance made one's heart tremble.

"A spear master?"

"Suspected of combining the mysteries of Earth and Wind True Intents?"

"How did the Seven Star Civilization produce such a terrifying Source Warrior genius?" Alden's heart chilled as he witnessed such formidable power.

Far surpassing his own.

For a Source Warrior to reach this level, how profound must their understanding of techniques be?

The Sixth Stage Beginner level of understanding is the common standard for Flying Sky Mid-level warriors.

The Sixth Stage Intermediate and Advanced levels of understanding are the Flying Sky Peak levels.

Warriors like Yu Jing He, Ruoden, and Li Yuan before and after his breakthrough had an understanding of techniques at the Flying Sky Peak level, but the gap was still significant.

The Sixth Stage Perfected level of understanding belongs to the Demigod level.

"Able to form four phantom bodies with a single thought and withstand Usai's domain with his True Intent domain." Alden thought to himself, "This human Source Warrior should be at the Advanced level of True Intent."

The key was that he had searched through various intelligence and found no trace of this mysterious genius.

Suddenly, a burst of light condensed, quickly forming a light screen projection. Within it was a vague silhouette of a giant flying snake, its body shimmering with a crimson energy flow, resembling an enlarged version of Blood Serpent Usai at first glance.

In the projection, Blood Serpent Usai's eyes were filled with cold intent, subtly overlooking Alden.

"Alden," a deep voice echoed within the mountain's belly.

"Wu Dong Blood Saint Lord." Alden bowed slightly, appearing quite respectful at first glance.

In the Cloud Beast Civilization, only Demigods and above were referred to as Saint Lords.

"The intelligence you reported is very timely. This mysterious genius of the Seven Stars Civilization is indeed unknown to us." The deep voice resonated, "You have made a great contribution."

"Soon, the reward will be delivered to the Star Realm!"

"But now, Usai has perished, and Zi Pa... may not make it back alive." The deep voice said, "I need you to guard this Mother Nest Lair."

"As long as you can hold it, you will have made another great contribution."

Alden fell silent.

Guard this place? What a joke!

"Demigod, I can't do it." Alden shook his head repeatedly, "That human Origin Warrior is too terrifying... I think we should temporarily avoid his edge and retreat."

"Do you want to abandon the Mother Nest Lair? This is an order." The deep voice carried a hint of anger.

Just as he was about to continue speaking.

"Demigod, the signal is not good." Alden suddenly spoke, and then his heart stirred.

Boom!

The entire projection instantly crumbled.

"Hmph! You want me to stay and guard this place?" Alden muttered, his eyes glinting with a trace of icy coldness, "You can't order Zi Pa around, and you can't stop him from fleeing this way... As long as the Seven Stars Civilization isn't stupid, they will definitely suspect this direction."

"It won't be long before it's exposed."

"You want me to guard it? An incompletely developed Mother Nest Lair? Even with me, the chances of holding it are no more than seventy percent."

Seventy percent hope sounded high.

But Alden was unwilling to risk the thirty percent chance of death.

If his clan could offer him benefits, he wouldn't mind obeying, but the precondition was that his life wasn't threatened.

Previously, Usai was the great leader, and everything was basically decided by Usai.

Or, to put it another way, the three Flying Sky Beasts balanced each other out.

"Hmph! Usai is dead, Zi Pa is as good as dead, and from now on, I'm in charge of this Star Realm." Alden waved his massive hoof claws.

He quickly gathered all the items within the mountain's belly and focused on covering up any traces of his existence.

Boom!

His massive form moved, and Alden quickly escaped along another passage within the mountain's belly.

...

At the heart of the Cloud Beast Civilization was a rather large planet where billions of beasts lived.

The entire planet was governed by numerous temples, each established by a Demigod of the civilization.

Today.

Within one of the towering temples, nearly a thousand meters high, with an exterior resembling a giant snake, was a magnificent palace that resembled a massive snake's lair, vastly different from ordinary human architecture.

"He must die!"

"Alden dares to disobey orders, he must die!" The Flying Sky Beast Demigod roared, exuding a mighty and fierce aura.

The roar echoed throughout the palace.

"Damn it!" The Wu Dong Blood Demigod's heart was bleeding.

He had paid a huge price to obtain a 'Young Mother Nest,' and now it might be lost?

It was important to understand why he valued the Luo Hai Star Realm so much. The resources and territorial area of this Star Realm far surpassed his fiefdom within the civilization.

Of course, he wasn't the only Demigod investing resources into the Luo Hai Star Realm... This was a collective decision by many Demigods, and he was just the one in charge.

"Now, I can only hope that the mysterious Origin Warrior's strength isn't strong enough." The Wu Dong Blood Demigod thought to himself.

What could he do if Alden disobeyed orders? Nothing!

Across the Star Realm, he couldn't do anything to him... Even if Alden didn't betray the civilization, when he contacted him again, he couldn't even get angry.

Just like Alden, the Wu Dong Blood Demigod looked up at the blurry projection of the black-clad figure, his heart filled with the same confusion, "Who is he?"

Suddenly.

"Hmm? Zi Pa is dead?" The Wu Dong Blood Demigod received the message and shook his head irritably, "Idiot!"

"They're all idiots!"

...

Within the Luo Hai Star Realm.

"Hmm." The last domineering spear pierced through Monkey Zi Pa's skull, instantly killing him. His massive body collapsed and fell heavily onto the peak below, motionless.

Only a direct hit to the head could instantly kill a Flying Sky-level life.

"Finally killed. Practicing body refinement Star Art is indeed difficult to kill, much harder than that Blood Serpent." Li Yuan slightly shook his head, tightening his grip on the long spear in his hand.

Just now, he had chased for 600 kilometers before catching up with his opponent.

Both sides fought fiercely, or rather, Zi Pa frantically fled, while Li Yuan encircled and attacked him repeatedly... Finally, the burly monkey reluctantly fell.

Whoosh!

Li Yuan waved his hand and collected the storage treasure, giant wolf fang staff, battle armor, and other treasures left by his opponent.

In the end, only a corpse remained.

"Target 'Monkey Zi Pa' is dead, location coordinates..." Li Yuan quickly sent the coordinates to the base.

A Flying Sky-level corpse had no use for him.

But for the entire Seven Stars Civilization, it had certain research and memorial value, and they would calculate Seven Stars Points.

"I've killed my way here."

"This Monkey Zi Pa fled in this direction, there must be a secret ahead." Li Yuan transformed into a stream of light and quickly investigated along the same direction.

While flying, Li Yuan sensed the vibrations of the world around him, afraid of missing anything.

...

Just ten minutes later.

"Hmm?" After flying for hundreds of kilometers and searching, Li Yuan suddenly stopped and turned to look in another direction, sensing something.

Hundreds of kilometers away, a strange vibration emanated from the earth.

He slightly adjusted his direction and rushed over at high speed. After dozens of seconds, he finally saw clearly.

"Another Mother Nest Lair?" Li Yuan stared at the misty canyon, his eyes bursting with astonishing killing intent.
