Chapter 311: Slaughtering Countless Foes, Forging a Legend

Chapter 311: Slaughtering Countless Foes, Forging a Legend

With a single lance, the renowned top-tier Beast King Hei Guang, who had been a prominent figure among the Ruin Beast race for over a hundred years, met his end!

"What?!"

"I must be seeing things."

"That was Hei Guang Beast King, killed in an instant?"

"Even the Three Great Beast Emperors might not have been able to do that." The hundreds of Beast Kings who had yet to join the siege were utterly dumbfounded by this scene.

It had been half a month since the news of Ling Qiang's prowess spread throughout the upper echelons of the Ruin Beast race. Almost all Flying Heaven Beast Kings knew that within the Seven Stars Human Civilization, there was an extremely formidable Second Stage Life, Ling Qiang, who could rival the Crimson Rock Beast King.

The Crimson Rock Beast King was recognized as the strongest among the Beast Kings, second only to the Three Great Beast Emperors.

However, even the hundreds of Flying Heaven Beast Kings never imagined that they had greatly overestimated Ling Qiang. In a single strike, Hei Guang Beast King, who was on par with the Crimson Rock Beast King, had perished.

"Hei Guang?!" The Crimson Rock Beast King was also taken aback. "In just over a month, how could his strength have increased so drastically? In my perception, he's still a Second Stage Life."

"Was he toying with me last time?"

"Or has he advanced to the Flying Heaven Realm?" Numerous thoughts flashed through the Crimson Rock Beast King's mind, but above all, he felt a hint of fear.

Because while other Flying Heaven Beast Kings might think, 'Ling Qiang has reached the level of a Beast Emperor,' only a top-tier Beast King like the Crimson Rock Beast King could truly understand.

A Beast Emperor?

Even a Beast Emperor couldn't kill Hei Guang Beast King in a single move! Ling Qiang was a heaven-defying existence surpassing Beast Emperors.

"This..."

"Ling Qiang?"

"My God!" Even Luo Chan, Tavarez, Jiang Zai, and the other human warriors on the eight war vessels, who were prepared for a fierce battle and had made up their minds to fight to the death, were stunned.

In an instant,

They all recalled Ling Qiang's calm and collected voice on the war vessel earlier, "This place with green hills and clear waters is a feng shui treasure ground to bury them."

At that time, no one believed in Ling Qiang, even though he had displayed heaven-defying abilities. After all, he was just an Origin Warrior.

When Li Yuan had asked them to 'stay and protect the war vessel,' many had even thought Ling Qiang was being overly arrogant, but no one dared to voice it.

But now?

"Is he really an Origin Warrior?" Li Yang was secretly shocked. "Can an Origin Warrior be this powerful? Even if Li Yuan cultivates for another ten years, he might not be able to catch up to Ling Qiang."

Li Yang had always believed that Li Yuan's future achievements would surpass Ling Qiang, but now he was filled with doubt.

"This Ling Qiang? Is he really Li Yuan?" Luo Chan, the only one who knew the truth, was the most shocked. "He's only 20 years old!"

Luo Chan was clear that after today's battle, Ling Qiang's name would spread throughout various realms.

However, if the news of 'Ling Qiang being only 20 years old' were to spread, that would truly shake the heavens.

...

This single lance had stunned all the powerful beings present, except for Li Yuan. "A mere third-grade lower-tier battle armor, an unrefined Body Refinement Star Technique, and a 34th-level warrior dares to bite off more than he can chew?" Li Yuan's speed didn't slow down as he charged towards another Flying Heaven Beast King.

Hei Guang Beast King had a formidable reputation, but as a relative of the Sky Serpent Beast Emperor, he was known for his speed among the various factions of the Ruin Beast race.

In Li Yuan's eyes,

Hei Guang Beast King was comparable to a typical 33rd-level human warrior.

If Hei Guang Beast King focused on entanglement and protected his vital points, Li Yuan might need a few more moves to finish him off. But with his head willingly offered to the Black Heaven Lance... Li Yuan had reached the pinnacle of the Flying Heaven Realm, rivaling the 35th-level Flying Heaven Warriors of the Seven Stars Civilization.

"Hundreds of Flying Heaven Beast Kings?"

"Most of them are only 30th and 31st level." Li Yuan used the Mind Palace to scan, and with a single thought, he knew whether these Flying Heaven Beast Kings posed a threat to him.

"Hua!"

Before the lance reached its target, a dazzling lance glow pierced through a hundred meters of empty space, penetrating the head of another Flying Heaven Beast King.

Perished!

"Without mastering True Intent, killing a Flying Heaven-level being is too easy. The primordial energy of a Flying Heaven-level being, drawing upon the power of heaven and earth, can't block my lance..." Li Yuan thought, "No wonder the principal could, from a distance of several kilometers, use a single thought to invoke the laws and kill that Flying Heaven-level alien."

When killing Hei Guang Beast King, he still needed to get close.

But to kill ordinary Flying Heaven Beast Kings... Whether they have condensed True Intent, their strength will undergo a drastic transformation.

Ordinary Flying Heaven Beast Kings, let alone blocking the Black Heaven Lance, couldn't even withstand a single lance glow from Li Yuan.

"Die!"

Li Yuan swept his lance again, and the terrifying lance glow slashed through the sky, first piercing the head of a Flying Heaven Beast King, and then landing on the body of another, heavily injuring him.

One lance, one dead, and one injured.

"Killing a Flying Heaven-level being only increases my spiritual awakening by 0.1%. It's so difficult," Li Yuan thought to himself.

The last time he fought the Crimson Rock Beast King, he noticed two changes after his spiritual awakening reached 50%... First, killing first and second-stage aliens no longer provided spiritual nourishment.

Second, killing a Flying Heaven-level being seemed to only increase it by 0.1%.

"At this rate, I'll have to kill at least a hundred Flying Heaven Beast Kings to reach 100%," Li Yuan thought. "What about breaking through the spiritual awakening limit of 75% in the future? This is forcing me to kill a Demigod in the future."

Slaughter!

"Continue." Li Yuan's speed was astonishing as he slaughtered these Flying Beast Kings.

...

The battle raged on.

Eight Tier Four Warships unleashed their main cannons, erupting with devastating power, and continuously annihilated the Flying Beast Kings.

Simultaneously, numerous Flying Beast Kings charged towards the warships, engaging in fierce combat with Tavares and Luo Chan.

However...

The most dazzling and intense battle in the entire battlefield was still the area where Li Yuan fought.

After the successive falls of the Hei Guang Beast King and several other Beast Kings, the remaining Flying Beast Kings were filled with shock and terror. But what followed was a sense of despair... They all knew there was no way out.

If they retreated today, the Ruin Beast Tribe would face eternal damnation. They had only one path—to fight!

Fight for a path to survival! Fight for the tribe! Fight for freedom!

"Slaughter!"

"We must kill the Spirit Lance!"

"If we don't kill him, our Ruin Beast Tribe is doomed!"

"He must have used some secret treasure to become so powerful. He's only a Second Stage Life, and no matter how strong his attacks are, his body is definitely weak. As long as we can hit him... he will surely be injured or even die."

"Desperation!" Hundreds of Flying Beast Kings roared, their voices shaking the heavens and the earth, as they launched their most frenzied attacks at Li Yuan in mid-air, like moths drawn to a flame.

This was undoubtedly the most tragic scene in the thousands of years of the Ruin Beast Tribe's history!

And Li Yuan, he too erupted with full force!

Roar! Ice as cold as frost, flames covering the sky, gigantic wings flapping, sharp claws slashing—Li Yuan unleashed his full array of powers.

Multiple Flying Beast Kings teamed up, sealing off all space and attempting to trap Li Yuan in the center.

For the fate of their tribe, these Flying Beast Kings wagered their very lives.

But reality told these Flying Beast Kings that their efforts were in vain.

Boom! Li Yuan's Domain exploded first. After cultivating the 'Divine Body of All Things' and undergoing a metamorphosis in his Primordial Energy, even without training in Domain Star Arts, Li Yuan's Domain, formed by the subtleties of Wind and Earth True Intent, was terrifyingly powerful.

Boom! Li Yuan's Domain withstood countless attacks, clashing with the Flame Domain of the Crimson Rock Beast King without falling behind.

The vast Domain restricted the attacks of the other Flying Beast Kings on Li Yuan.

Swish! Swish! Swish! Li Yuan didn't use illusion techniques, but with 'Wind Feathers', he burst forth at a speed nearing eight times the speed of sound, surpassing every Flying Beast King. His figure was like a ghost, evading the combined attacks of the Flying Beast Kings.

None of the Flying Beast Kings could catch up to his trajectory, and their siege seemed futile.

So, it was time for a massacre!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Brilliant spear lights tore through the sky, each one breathtaking and heart-pounding. With each spear light, a Flying Beast King fell.

Boom! The massive bodies of the Flying Beast Kings crashed down, causing the earth to tremble and mountains to collapse.

These Flying Beast Kings were mostly leaders of their tribes, but in front of Li Yuan, they were just another target for his spear.

"The Southern Bear Beast King is dead!"

"The Heavenly Crane Beast King is dead!"

"The Shadow Beast King is dead!" One by one, the top-tier Beast Kings renowned in the Ruin Beast World fell. These powerful Beast Kings' attacks did pose a slight threat to Li Yuan.

But it was only a minor threat, causing Li Yuan to strike out a few more times.

Suddenly—

"Die!" A furious roar shook the heavens.

Boom! A terrifying flame giant palm, imbued with endless rage, slammed into Li Yuan.

It was the Crimson Rock Beast King!

This Beast King, acknowledged as the most powerful under the Beast Emperor, took a critical step in the face of life and death—he broke through to the middle stage of True Intent.

The Crimson Rock Beast King had broken through.

The breakthrough in his technique caused his attack power to surge, especially his attack speed, which increased so much that Li Yuan, who had been leisurely dodging, couldn't react in time and was struck by the palm.

Boom!

Li Yuan was sent flying backward by the palm strike, the impact force terrifying.

"Hahaha! Impressive!" Li Yuan flew backward over a hundred meters, his laughter echoing through the heavens: "Crimson Rock, you managed to injure me. Impressive."

Despair!

Not just the Crimson Rock Beast King, but all the other Flying Beast Kings witnessing this scene, fell into utter despair.

Facing the frontal attack of the post-breakthrough Crimson Rock Beast King, the Spirit Lance was only injured? And looking at the Spirit Lance's condition, where did it seem injured?

They didn't know that Li Yuan, with his Flying Heaven-level Primordial Energy, had activated the 'Starry Armor'. His defense was so strong that even if he stood still and took a direct hit from a Tier Four Warship's main cannon, he might not fall... Just in terms of survival ability, Li Yuan was quite formidable among the Flying Heaven peak cultivators.

"Crimson Rock."

"It's my turn." Li Yuan slashed out a streak of light, roaring as he charged towards the Crimson Rock Beast King.

In Li Yuan's eyes, none of the other Flying Beast Kings posed as much of a threat as the Crimson Rock Beast King.

With the Crimson Rock Beast King's talent, if he allowed Li Yuan's Primordial Energy to continue breaking through to level 35, perhaps even the three great Beast Emperors wouldn't match up to him.

"Slaughter!" The Crimson Rock Beast King also roared, his body rapidly shrinking to a height of ten meters, and his flame domain shrinking accordingly.

Boom!

The domains clashed, and this time, Li Yuan's domain was at an absolute disadvantage, constantly being forced to disperse.

"Without cultivating the Domain Star Art, the gap in skill remains, and there's also a disparity in Origin Power." Li Yuan was not surprised that his domain was at a disadvantage.

In reality, Li Yuan had hesitated when it came to choosing the fourth Star Art.

If he were to choose the Domain Star Art, it would be more advantageous for direct combat and restraining enemies in group battles.

But the Escape Star Art was more beneficial for self-preservation.

In the end, Li Yuan still chose the latter.

"Hiss!"

The Black Heaven Lance attacked! Easily piercing through the Flame Domain, its might was overwhelming.

"Die!" The Crimson Rock Beast King, having shrunk his body, roared and clenched his five fingers into a fist, channeling the Flame Essence to cover his fist, he unleashed a head-on attack towards that formidable lance.

Two formidable forces collided.

"Boom!"

The might of the Origin Essence clashed, compressing the air as if it were a nuclear explosion, sending terrifying shockwaves in all directions, causing mountains and rivers within a few kilometers to collapse, almost turning the area into a wasteland.

"Hiss~" But the Black Heaven Lance had already fiercely pierced through that sturdy fist, penetrating the outer layer of battle armor and stabbing into the rock-hard bone fingers.

"Damn it!" Li Yuan frowned and unleashed his second lance attack.

"I've shrunk my body, and my battle armor protects my entire body, yet even my most solid fist almost couldn't withstand it?" The Crimson Rock Beast King felt a chill in his heart, truly feeling the sharpness of that seemingly unremarkable black lance.

The piercing power was terrifying.

"Boom~" "Boom!" "Boom!" In the continuous terrifying clashes, Li Yuan's lance techniques were all blocked by the Crimson Rock Beast King.

This battle was like a repeat of their previous encounter.

Just as the other Flying Heaven Beast Kings were starting to feel hopeful.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Li Yuan's figure moved, and in an instant, six phantom bodies appeared within the layers of domains.

Shadow Domain!

Finally, Li Yuan unleashed this ultimate move, but he still refrained from using the Seventh Rank Star Art, 'Nine Shadow Clones'. That was his last trump card, and there was no need to reveal it against a single Crimson Rock Beast King.

"Huff!" "Huff!" The six Li Yuan figures unleashed their attacks simultaneously, leaving the other Flying Heaven Beast Kings dumbfounded as they couldn't distinguish which one was the real Li Yuan. At the same time, Li Yuan also cornered the Crimson Rock Beast King.

Divine Fist unleashed! Shaking the heavens! The Crimson Rock Beast King could block one of Li Yuan's phantom body attacks, but he couldn't keep blocking them... Pfft! The Black Heaven Lance suddenly stabbed forward, piercing the Crimson Rock Beast King's chest.

"Pfft~" The battle armor was pierced.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The terrifying might contained within the lance erupted, causing the layers of rock to shatter instantly.

With just one lance, the Crimson Rock Beast King was truly injured.

Huff!

The Crimson Rock Beast King, in his fury and desperation, finally retreated, wanting to leave. But in front of Li Yuan, who had unleashed the Shadow Domain and the Star Art 'Wind Feather', how could he escape? He was injured again and again by the Black Heaven Lance.

The Crimson Rock Beast King felt death approaching.

"Escape!"

"Escape immediately! As long as the Spirit Lance remains in the Mingxu World, you must not show yourselves until it leaves. Flee far away!" The voice of the Crimson Rock Beast King resonated in the minds of the over two hundred Beast Kings who were still alive, filled with despair and indignation: "As long as we survive, there is still hope for the Ruin Beast Race."

"There's still hope!"

Sizzle~

Six lances attacked again, and the true Black Heaven Lance avoided the Divine Fist, piercing the back of the Crimson Rock Beast King, worsening his injuries.

"Kill!"

"Spirit Lance, come and fight!" The Crimson Rock Beast King roared, his eyes no longer filled with despair, but with a kind of madness, embracing death.

He understood that he couldn't escape, and the Spirit Lance would never let go of such a great threat. But he was willing to sacrifice his life to buy time for the other Flying Heaven Beast Kings, grasping at a glimmer of hope.

And to give the Ruin Beast Race a shred of hope.

"Escape!"

"Go!"

"Roar~~" Many of the surviving Flying Heaven Beast Kings unleashed indignant roars, unable to bear the sight of the Crimson Rock Beast King's fall, but they also understood that continuing the fight was meaningless, and they began to flee in all directions.

"Huff!" Li Yuan's gaze turned cold, paying no heed to the other Flying Heaven Beast Kings, focusing solely on attacking the Crimson Rock Beast King.

In Li Yuan's eyes.

All the other Flying Heaven Beast Kings combined were not as threatening as the single Crimson Rock Beast King.

Once the Crimson Rock Beast King cultivated the Body Refinement Star Technique and accumulated more levels, the gap would only widen.

Whoosh! The thirty-sixth lance pierced, and the body of the Crimson Rock Beast King finally couldn't withstand the relentless attacks, exploding with a boom, his Origin Core shattering, leaving him without the strength to fight further.

But his head remained.

"Suppress!" Li Yuan used his domain to suppress, and with another lance, he stabbed into the Crimson Rock Beast King's head through the wound.

Pfft!

The Crimson Rock Beast King's head disintegrated from the inside, dying!! "Crimson Rock, escape."

"Just escape. Just survive!!!"

"That Spirit Lance will eventually leave our world. As long as we survive, we can seek revenge against the Seven Stars Human Civilization." The Flying Heaven Beast Kings who had escaped dozens of kilometers away were filled with indignation.

They could only watch helplessly as the evolved Crimson Rock Beast King died.

"Are they all escaping?" Li Yuan's gaze swept across the void, and countless Flying Heaven Beast Kings were frantically fleeing, and not a single Beast King dared to stay behind to attack the warship.

They all began to retreat.

For a moment, the entire void seemed to quiet down, and in the distance, Tavares and Luo Chan, who had just finished their battles, watched this scene with bated breath.

In the void, a black-clad figure wielded a long spear like a divine warrior.

The earth had become a wasteland of ruins from the repeated clashes, leaving only the remains of countless Flying Beast Kings.

The human warriors were in awe, a feeling beyond words.

Nearly three hundred strong Flying Beast Kings besieged a single Origin Warrior, and in the end, over a hundred Flying Beast Kings fell.

Over a hundred!

These Flying Beast Kings, no matter how weak or lacking in good weaponry and star arts, were still true Flying Heaven-level lives, and among them were powerful beings like the Crimson Rock Beast King.

But no matter how strong the Spirit Lance was, it was still just an Origin Warrior! This battle was an absolute miracle.

Not only was it a miracle for the Seven Stars Civilization, but even in many foreign civilizations, Tavares and Li Yang believed that this would be known as a legendary feat.

Worth spreading for thousands of years!

... "Escape?"

"Pursue and kill them!" Li Yuan did not indulge in the joy of victory. After understanding the battlefield situation, he gave orders to Tavares and Luo Chan.

During the intense battle, Li Yuan had killed six of the top eight Beast Kings and slaughtered over a hundred Flying Beast Kings.

But even more had fled.

Li Yuan was clear that after this battle, these Flying Beast Kings would never dare to gather again, but they would likely remain hidden, filled with hatred for the Seven Stars Civilization.

In the Mingxu Star Realm, these Beast Kings would hide, not daring to show themselves.

But how long could Li Yuan stay in the Mingxu Star Realm? Three years? Ten years? Eventually, he would have to leave.

So.

Now, killing one more Beast King would reduce future threats to the Seven Stars Civilization.

Slaughtering them all was the right thing to do.

"Kill!"

"Four war vessels per group, ensure your safety, and pursue them relentlessly." Tavares and Luo Chan immediately followed Li Yuan's orders, chasing after the war vessels.

Boom!

Li Yuan's speed was terrifying, directly charging at the large group of Flying Beast Kings fleeing towards Bright Mountain.

In just a few dozen seconds, he caught up.

"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" The spear's light crisscrossed, and one by one, the Flying Beast Kings fell.

Seeing this, the other Flying Beast Kings became even more frantic, many even plunging into lakes and the earth to escape, determined to shake off Li Yuan and the other human warriors.

... After a quarter of an hour.

In the frantic pursuit, after slaughtering over fifty Flying Beast Kings, Li Yuan completely lost track of the other Flying Beast Kings.

On the vast earth, the aftermath of the great battle was everywhere.

"Let's go!"

Li Yuan stepped on the head of a four-legged beast with purple scales all over its body, returning to the place where the battle had first erupted.

In the void...

"Boom!" The eight fourth-tier war vessels regrouped, and after Tavares, Luo Chan, and the others had pursued and killed without finding their targets.

"Spirit Lance!"

"Spirit Lance." Tavares, Luo Chan, and Li Yang all looked at him with respect in their eyes.

Following closely, they also saw the huge four-legged beast beneath Li Yuan's feet, its four limbs severed, and half of its head sliced off.

"Lei Hui Beast King?"

"One of the three top-tier Beast Kings under the Sky Serpent Sovereign, Lei Hui Beast King?"

"This... surrendered?" Li Yang, An Yongya, and the others' eyes widened in surprise.

Only Luo Chan and Tavares remained calm, as if they had expected this.

"Spirit Lance, esteemed human warriors." Lei Hui Beast King, severely injured, spoke with a hint of fear in his voice: "I've been providing you with intelligence, and I sincerely wish to cooperate with the great Seven Stars Civilization."

"Lei Hui!"

"Don't be insincere." Tavares sneered: "You secretly traded with us to obtain cultivation resources, and we didn't hold back in giving them to you."

"If you truly wish to surrender, why didn't you surrender directly during the battle? You didn't hold back in the fight." Luo Chan coldly sneered.

The many human warriors understood, and they all realized the truth.

Lei Hui Beast King was likely one of the Seven Stars Civilization's intelligence sources within the Ruin Beast Tribe.

In a sense, Lei Hui Beast King was a traitor to his kind.

However, he managed to survive until the end, while the other top-tier Beast Kings all perished in battle.

"Lei Hui."

"I know you're willing to cooperate with us. As long as you tell me everything you know, I won't kill you... Otherwise, you should understand that I could have killed you just now."

Among the eight top-tier Beast Kings, Li Yuan only spared the Lei Hui Beast King.

"I understand, I understand." Lei Hui Beast King nodded repeatedly.

He had chosen to surrender, and to survive, he would naturally have no bottom line.

"I'll ask you."

"Where are the three Beast Sovereigns now? Where is the entrance to your sacred land?" Li Yuan asked directly: "Also, one of our Seven Stars Civilization's human warriors entered Bright Mountain and went missing. Do you know where they are?"

"Additionally..."

"The Heavenly Virtue Civilization invaded Bright Mountain and reached an agreement with you. What was it?" Li Yuan asked all the questions in one breath.
