Chapter 305: Unstoppable! The Final Ultimatum

Chapter 305: Unstoppable! The Final Ultimatum

In the blink of an eye, the three Flying Heaven-rank alien beasts met their demise.

This sight left the group of Flying Beast Kings utterly shocked, as Li Yuan's strength far exceeded their imagination and the intelligence they had on the Beast Emperor.

"How can he be this powerful?" Qing Sheng Beast King couldn't believe it, "A Tier 2 Lifeform with such strength?"

These Beast Kings dared to engage Li Yuan in battle.

One of the main reasons they did so was their belief that Tier 2 Lifeforms ultimately had a limit to their strength.

After all, fundamentals were fundamentals.

Not only these Beast Kings, but Li Hua and Leman, who were also stunned and excited.

"This Spirit Lance Lord, his phantom body techniques are heaven-defying. With six phantoms intertwining, it's impossible to discern his true form." Li Hua was amazed, "And his lance techniques are equally powerful. With a single thrust, even the most robust head of a Flying Heaven-rank alien beast couldn't withstand it? Killed with a single strike?"

Normally, a Flying Heaven-rank lifeform possesses an Origin Core, making their vitality formidable. If equipped with a Tier 3 battle suit, even a peak-level Flying Heaven warrior might not be able to defeat them in a single move.

"When I watched Luobis' battle footage earlier, I didn't feel his lance techniques were this terrifying." Leman, desperately struggling to escape, was equally shocked, "A Source Warrior can be this powerful?"

This shattered Leman's understanding. Even Yu Jinghe's strength paled in comparison.

Did the Spirit Lance Lord hide his strength during the Luobis battle?

Or did his abilities advance so rapidly in less than two months?

They didn't know.

If Li Yuan were an ordinary Source Warrior, no matter how advanced his technique, the power of his lance wouldn't be so fearsome.

But Li Yuan's combination of three Star Arts, especially after cultivating the Earth Divine Body, made his fundamentals truly comparable to a Skyso Warrior.

And he possessed the Black Heaven Lance!

In terms of weapons, techniques, and various other aspects, Li Yuan was stronger than most peak-level Flying Heaven warriors... With his fundamentals and the support of Star Arts, he could unleash such formidable strength.

"Kill!" Li Yuan's killing intent soared.

After sweeping through the three Flying Heaven alien beasts, he transformed into a bolt of lightning and charged towards Qing Sheng Beast King and the others.

"Retreat!"

"Run!" Qing Sheng Beast King and the other two, terrified, fled frantically.

No one wanted to test Li Yuan's lance.

Especially Qing Sheng Beast King, who had just been eager to kill Li Yuan, now fled with all his might. A layer of hazy green light suddenly appeared around him, causing his speed to surge, surpassing the other two Beast Kings.

Flying Escape Star Art!

As the three Beast Kings retreated, Li Hua's danger was averted.

"Huff!"

Li Yuan swept past Li Hua like a gust of wind and transmitted his voice to Li Hua, "Li Hua, retreat quickly."

"Alright."

Whoosh! Li Hua, already severely injured, knew this wasn't the time to hesitate. He continued to move like lightning, intertwining with Li Yuan's path, completely flying out of the range of this group of Beast Kings.

Sizzle~ Li Hua's injuries were slowly healing.

"Did the teacher take a life-saving spirit pill?" Li Yuan's divine sense sensed it, and a thought flashed through his mind, "He should be fine."

"Wuma Nong probably used one during his intense battle, but it didn't help."

In the Seven Star Civilization, there were many life-saving spirit pills, like the 'Origin Violet Longevity Pill' which was most effective for Source Warriors. Unless their head was crushed on the spot, they could be saved.

Flying Heaven Warriors also had similar spirit pills, but their effects weren't as exaggerated.

But! No matter how powerful a life-saving spirit pill was, it needed time to take effect.

Just like when Li Yuan used the Origin Violet Longevity Pill to save Liu Jing in the Ming Xu World, it still took several hours for Liu Jing's severed limbs to fully regenerate... It was only after several hours that he fully awakened and completely recovered.

Moreover, for someone like Wuma Nong who cultivated a powerful divine body, the recovery process was even slower when using the divine body.

When he fought the Crimson Rock Beast King, how long did it take? It wasn't enough time for the pill's effects to fully manifest.

A pill that could restore a body on the verge of collapse to its peak condition in just a few seconds?

Perhaps such a supreme treasure existed in the world, but at least not in the Seven Star Civilization, as Li Yuan had never heard of it.

The several Demigod-level geniuses Li Yuan killed in the Inner Realm were all from Divine Civilizations, and even they hadn't seen such a rare treasure.

As for Wuma Nong's breakthrough to Flying Heaven rank?

His techniques, mental power, and willpower could transform rapidly because they were intangible.

But the transformation of the physical body was far more complex, impossible to achieve in one go. Just like in the Inner Realm battle, when Li Yuan and Eli entered Tier 20 from Tier 19, they needed to find a quiet place and spend several hours at the very least.

Transitioning from a Source Warrior to Flying Heaven rank required condensing the Origin Core in the Origin Sea, a more complex and dangerous process. It usually took at least two or three days, sometimes even ten days or half a month. If disturbed during the breakthrough, the consequences were severe, often resulting in death or permanent injury.

... "Boom!" With Li Yuan's all-out pursuit, his speed far surpassed that of the fleeing Beast Kings.

Even Qing Sheng Beast King's speed couldn't match Li Yuan's.

In the blink of an eye, Li Yuan had already closed in on the two slower Beast Kings.

"Die!"

Boom! The six Li Yuans simultaneously swung their long lances, with powerful Origin Power surging from their palms and amplifying the Black Heaven Lance, unleashing dazzling lance beams. Although the two Beast Kings tried to resist, one of them couldn't withstand the lance beam and had his head pierced through."

Another beast king was a giant turtle. Li Yuan's first shot didn't pierce through its shell, but instead caused countless cracks to appear... The third shot followed the cracks in the shattered shell, directly slaying it.

It couldn't stop Li Yuan's onslaught.

"These Star Realm Flying Heaven Beasts are much easier to kill than the Flying Heaven Beasts of the Cloud Beast Civilization," Li Yuan thought to himself. "Their Star Arts, defensive battle armor, and everything else are far weaker."

Without the heritage of a civilization, their foundational cultivation might not be inferior, but their overall strength was significantly weaker.

"One more left," Li Yuan said, fixing his gaze on the fleeing green flying snake.

The opponent had activated Water Mystique, yet its flying speed was incredibly fast, clearly having cultivated a Flying Escape Star Art.

But before Li Yuan could pursue and kill the Qing Sheng Beast King, a terrifying aura descended with a thunderous boom. Countless layers of flames dispersed, crushing everything in their path like a sea of fire.

The void trembled, and as Li Yuan's True Intention Realm touched the other's domain, it immediately showed signs of collapse.

Clearly, in the clash of domains, Li Yuan was far inferior to his opponent.

The Crimson Rock Beast King, seeing the Qing Sheng Beast King in danger, couldn't afford to kill Lai Meng and finally arrived.

There was no communication between the two sides.

As their domains clashed, a terrifying giant palm hovered in the air, enveloping Li Yuan. Combined with the flame domain, it seemed as if space itself was about to freeze.

"34th level? It should be the 'Crimson Rock Beast King' under the command of the Sky Serpent Sovereign," Li Yuan deduced the opponent's identity from their form, strength, and abilities.

The three Beast Sovereigns ruled this world, but they weren't a unified force.

Not all Flying Heaven-level beasts wanted to wage war with the Seven Star Civilization. Over time, the Seven Star Civilization had communicated with more than one Flying Heaven-level Beast King from the Ming Xu World's native forces.

Only then did they learn many hidden secrets about the Ming Xu Star Realm.

At this moment, facing the Crimson Rock Beast King's full-power attack, Li Yuan didn't rely on his Illusory Body to dodge. Instead, his eyes blazed with a terrifying battle intent, and five of his six Illusory Bodies suddenly dissipated.

Boom! Li Yuan didn't retreat but advanced, and with the activation of the 'Divine Body of Earth,' his momentum was awe-inspiring. His speed also soared to its peak in an instant, not far behind the Crimson Rock Beast King.

"Annihilate!"

Boom! Li Yuan's Black Heaven Lance suddenly drew upon the power of Earth and Wind True Intention Mystiques. He thrust the lance forward, and its lance light resembled a terrifying pillar of light, dazzlingly bright.

He directly confronted the giant palm that struck like a flaming meteor.

Boom!

A terrifying blast echoed, and an invisible wave of energy surged in all directions.

The Crimson Rock Beast King felt intense pain, and countless fine cracks appeared on its palm. Its majestic body was sent flying backward by the force of the blow.

Li Yuan was also knocked back by the palm strike, his blood and energy surging.

But Li Yuan's eyes shone with unparalleled brightness.

"His attack power is only slightly stronger than mine," Li Yuan realized.

If it were a 34th-level human warrior like Dean Hai, Li Yuan knew he would have little chance of gaining the upper hand in a direct confrontation and could only hope to defend himself.

Although the Crimson Rock Beast King was also 34th level, its Star Art and weapon were too ordinary, giving Li Yuan an opportunity to exploit.

The reason Li Yuan chose to confront the Beast King directly was to gauge the strength of the three Beast Sovereigns through their clash.

"What?"

"He's not at a disadvantage in a direct fight with the Crimson Rock Beast King? Is this something a Tier 2 Life can do?" The other Flying Heaven Beast Kings watched in awe, their hearts trembling at the sight.

"Spirit Lance!"

"This! He's not worried about his body in a direct confrontation? Can he withstand it?" Both Lai Meng and Li Yang held their breaths in astonishment.

Not to mention the shallowly experienced native Flying Heaven Beasts, even they found it hard to comprehend the Spirit Lance's consecutive displays of power.

"Kill!" As Li Yuan's figure darted forward, he instantly split into six.

Five-fold Star Art - Shadow Transformation Clone! The earlier direct confrontation was to gauge the enemy's maximum strength. In a real fight, this wouldn't be the case.

The six Illusory Bodies intertwined, swiftly closing in on the Crimson Rock Beast King like ghosts.

"Illusory Bodies?"

"Suppress!" The Crimson Rock Beast King's heart grew heavy, and he immediately activated his domain. The raging flames in the void surged, completely engulfing Li Yuan's six Illusory Bodies.

The flames danced like dragons, attempting to shatter the Illusory Bodies to confirm Li Yuan's true body.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

But Li Yuan's six Illusory Bodies seemed to exist in another void, evading the corrosive flame light each time... with incredible agility.

The domain couldn't annihilate the Illusory Bodies.

By activating a five-fold Star Art and two True Intention Mystiques... if it were this easy to break, this move wouldn't be so formidable.

Finally.

As the Illusory Bodies intertwined, Li Yuan approached the Crimson Rock Beast King once more.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Six lance lights whistled out, a total of six lance lights sweeping in from all directions.

"Get lost!" The Crimson Rock Beast King roared, his palms swinging wildly. The giant palms moved swiftly, and their power was terrifying.

Like a dream bubble, five lance lights simultaneously vanished.

The Crimson Rock Beast King's giant palm then struck Li Yuan's true body, blocking this terrifying attack.

"You can block it once, but not twice," Li Yuan's eyes turned icy with killing intent.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Li Yuan's six Illusory Bodies moved again.

The terrifying aspect of the Shadow Domain lay in its ability to conceal its true position during intense battles, attacking as if six true bodies were striking simultaneously, thereby masking its actual offensive intent and leaving its enemies unable to discern its true intentions.

"Retreat!" The Scarlet Rock Beast King roared.

He had clearly realized this, and his towering body, standing several dozen meters tall, suddenly began to shrink, reducing to a mere ten meters in the blink of an eye.

As his body shrank, his strength diminished significantly, but his body density skyrocketed, and so did his defensive capabilities... This was the Scarlet Rock Beast King's innate ability.

At the same time—

"Boom!" The previously dispersed domain, which had covered a radius of a thousand meters, rapidly contracted, now enveloping only a hundred meters or so... As the domain's coverage shrank, its power surged.

"Ssss—"

"Ssss—" Li Yuan's Black Star Spear pierced the flame domain, instantly feeling layers of flame resistance, slowing down the spear's speed and suppressing its power.

"Kill!" The Scarlet Rock Beast King roared, and after shrinking, his palms became even more agile, easily blocking the attacks of numerous long spears. The spear phantoms dissipated, and the true Black Star Spear was deflected.

"This human warrior is too formidable."

"He's the strongest Tier Two lifeform I've ever encountered. His skill level is undoubtedly on par with the Beast Emperors." The Scarlet Rock Beast King had given up and was doing his best to defend.

Attacking? He couldn't do anything to Li Yuan since he couldn't discern Li Yuan's true body, but it was easy for Li Yuan to find his weaknesses.

If he wanted to escape, with his flying speed, it wouldn't be difficult to get away.

But if he fled, Qing Sheng Beast King and the others would likely be caught and killed by Li Yuan, so he could only choose to stall Li Yuan.

"Hold on."

"He's still just a Tier Two lifeform. After repeated clashes, he'll eventually be overwhelmed." The Scarlet Rock Beast King was very patient.

When powerful beings clashed, the weaker one in terms of physical attributes would easily sustain injuries from the mere impact of weapon collisions.

But time passed.

With each clash, the Scarlet Rock Beast King became more and more astonished because he felt that the aura of this black-clad human warrior showed no signs of weakening.

"Is this human warrior's defense so formidable?" The Scarlet Rock Beast King couldn't imagine it.

Logically, no matter how strong one was, their body was still only at the Tier Two level!

"You want to use the impact of our battle to wear me down?" Li Yuan's eyes turned cold as he discerned the Scarlet Rock Beast King's thoughts.

However, Li Yuan was protected by the semi-divine armor 'Starry Robe', which could greatly reduce the impact of external forces.

Additionally, he had activated the Earthly Divine Body, making Li Yuan's endurance no less than that of a powerful Skysoar Warrior.

If there was a weakness to Li Yuan, it was his Primordial Energy!

Using multiple powerful Star Arts simultaneously resulted in an astonishing consumption of Primordial Energy.

...Time seemed to slow down, and in just ten short seconds, Qing Sheng Beast King and the others had already retreated over ten kilometers.

Under Li Yuan's relentless attacks, the Scarlet Rock Beast King's defense became increasingly strained.

A prolonged defense would eventually lead to defeat.

"Pfft!" A spear suddenly thrust forward, slicing through the air with a dazzling arc of light. It pierced through layer upon layer of flame obstruction and ruthlessly aimed at the Scarlet Rock Beast King's chest.

"Ssss—"

It was too fast. The Scarlet Rock Beast King didn't have time to block it, and a spear beam erupted, directly penetrating his chest. Instantly, Li Yuan felt an incredible resistance.

It was too hard.

"Not good." Li Yuan's expression changed slightly: "Such strong defense?"

After shrinking, the Scarlet Rock Beast King's body had become even harder. Additionally, he wore a layer of battle armor, and the domain's layers further weakened the impact... When Li Yuan's spear beam penetrated his body, it couldn't go any deeper.

Many lifeforms with special bloodlines awaken formidable talents at different stages.

For example, the True Phoenix possesses the ability of Nirvana.

The Seven Star Civilization is just a small part of the endless Dimensional River, and such lifeforms with extremely powerful talents are rare.

However, the Scarlet Rock Beast King's innate talents include infinite strength and an extremely solid body.

His body is almost like a rock, and the fact that he could awaken spirituality and develop spirit intelligence is truly astonishing... In terms of innate talent alone, he is actually superior to the three Beast Emperors in the entire Ming Xu World.

However, as a rock-based lifeform, his comprehension ability is quite average, which is why he hasn't become a Beast Emperor yet.

"Human, you can't kill me." The Scarlet Rock Beast King's voice resonated in Li Yuan's mind: "I can't do anything to you either. You're the strongest Tier Two lifeform I've ever seen."

"Why don't we call it quits and both retreat?" The Scarlet Rock Beast King transmitted.

Li Yuan couldn't bear to do so.

How could he just watch as the other party killed Wu Ma Nong and then retreat? Li Yuan wouldn't be satisfied with that.

"If we continue fighting, you might be able to kill my group of Beast Kings, but if I go all out, killing your two companions won't be difficult either." The Scarlet Rock Beast King transmitted.

Li Yuan's pupils constricted slightly, as this was one of his concerns. He couldn't stop the other party from attacking Li Yang.

Huff!

Unknowingly, Li Yuan had already retreated, as further fighting had little meaning.

Neither of the two powerful beings could do anything to the other.

"Human warrior."

"I can sense your anger. Was the one I killed just now your friend?" The Scarlet Rock Beast King looked at Li Yuan and said in a low voice, "But you should understand that you are the invaders."

"This is a racial conflict and a struggle for survival space. Does it make sense to talk about invasion or not?"

If you are powerful enough to invade our world, would you really stop?" Li Yuan's eyes turned cold, finally responding to the other party.

"You're right."

"Just as I followed the Beast Emperor in battle, countless non-subservient Beast Kings were slain over the long years. Every rise of a new Beast Emperor is accompanied by bloodshed and slaughter." The Scarlet Rock Beast King shook his head. "Discussing justice is indeed laughable."

"But I believe you understand the situation. If our race truly disregards everything, the casualties among you humans will be far more than they are now." The Scarlet Rock Beast King looked at Li Yuan.

Li Yuan remained silent.

This was indeed a point that the Seven Star Civilization's higher-ups couldn't comprehend.

The strength revealed by the native forces of Ming Xu was too formidable... Even the three Beast Emperors, and powerful beings like the Scarlet Rock Beast King, hadn't taken action before.

Why hadn't they acted? It was a mystery.

If the native forces of Ming Xu were to spare no cost and launch a full-scale offensive, they might have already destroyed countless bases of the Seven Star Civilization and the Heavenly Virtue Civilization, and possibly even exterminated them all.

However.

The strength of the native forces of Ming Xu was precisely why the higher-ups of the Seven Star Civilization chose to abandon the numerous peripheral bases and retreat entirely.

If the Seven Star Civilization were to gather all the True Intent Origin Warriors from the Seven Star Mountain, and even allow a group of True Intent Origin Warriors to break through in the Ming Xu Star Realm, then use a large number of rare treasures to quickly enhance their strength, and mobilize more Tier Four Warships... there would be hope for victory.

Killing the three Beast Emperors was not impossible.

But the cost was too great.

The Seven Star Civilization had to defend and compete for more than just the Ming Xu Star Realm, a Tier Two Star Realm.

If they were to focus all their efforts on conquering the Ming Xu Star Realm, what about the other Star Realms?

"With your strength, your status among the human forces here must also be very high." The Scarlet Rock Beast King stared at Li Yuan and said, "I represent the highest level of our world, and I hope you convey this to your higher-ups."

"We don't want to start a great war."

Li Yuan stood in the void, his heart already understanding why the native forces of Ming Xu had only destroyed many bases and hadn't wiped out the human warriors everywhere.

These Flying Heaven Beast Kings weren't afraid of Li Yuan and the other True Intent Origin Warriors, or the Flying Heaven Warriors who had just broken through.

They were afraid of the entire Seven Star Civilization and the Heavenly Virtue Civilization.

Compared to the two civilizations, the native forces of Ming Xu were extremely weak.

"In ten days, as long as you withdraw from our world, we won't attack." The Scarlet Rock Beast King said slowly, "But if your bases are still here after ten days..."

"Then, it will truly be a war of no return."

"I believe you don't want to see the three Beast Emperors take action." The Scarlet Rock Beast King stared at Li Yuan, "This is our final warning."

"Your civilization is very powerful."

"But if you want to conquer our world, believe me, the price you'll pay... will be more than you can bear." The Scarlet Rock Beast King spoke in a low voice, "This is our world."

"We won't retreat, and we have no other choice!"

Saying this!

Whoosh! The Scarlet Rock Beast King suddenly waved his hand, and two shields flew out, "These were the weapons of the fallen warrior, take them back."

Li Yuan stepped forward and manipulated the power of the heavens to receive Wu Ma Nong's weapons.

"Remember."

"Only ten days!" The Scarlet Rock Beast King stopped transmitting his voice, and his words echoed throughout the heavens.

Boom!

The Scarlet Rock Beast King soared into the sky, transforming into a stream of fiery light.

...

"Ten days?"

Li Yuan looked at the shield left by Wu Ma Nong, which was floating in front of him, deep in thought. Suddenly, he waved his hand and put it away in a Storage Artifact.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Li Yang and Lai Meng flew up, and Lai Meng said, "Spirit Lance, thank you."

"Thank you for the rescue." Li Yang also expressed his gratitude.

"I came too late." Li Yuan shook his head.

If he had arrived earlier, Wu Ma Nong wouldn't have died.

"We were too careless." Li Yang spoke in a low voice, "In the past few days, we hadn't encountered any Flying Heaven Rank ambushes... Who would've thought that so many Flying Heaven Beasts would suddenly appear, and even the Scarlet Rock Beast King came to kill."

"Spirit Lance, you've done more than enough." Lai Meng agreed, "In war, casualties are inevitable. Since we've joined the battle, we've already prepared for death."

Li Yuan nodded slightly.

The Seven Star Civilization hadn't encountered such an intense Tier Two Star Realm war as the Ming Xu Star Realm in a long time.

"What did the Scarlet Rock Beast King mean by ten days?" Li Yang suddenly asked.

"After ten days, if we still don't retreat, then the native forces of Ming Xu will show no mercy, and all three Beast Emperors will take action." Li Yuan spoke in a low voice.

Li Yang and Lai Meng were both startled.

"Let's go back first."

"We'll report this to the Alliance." Li Yuan shook his head, "and wait for the Demigods' decision."

"Mhm."

The three of them quickly departed.

In the distant void.

Eight Flying Heaven Beast Kings were flying at high speed towards Ming Mountain, the atmosphere was quite solemn.

"Uncle Scarlet Rock, you couldn't kill him alone."

Qing Sheng Beast King's eyes glowed, and he roared, "If we call Black Broad Beast King and Lei Hui Beast King, the three of you together will definitely be able to kill that human!"

"Qing Sheng!"

The Scarlet Rock Beast King glanced back, his voice cold, "Do you really want to bring our world into such a situation?"
