Chapter 315: The Sacred Land! You Are an Outsider
Chapter 315: The Sacred Land! You Are an Outsider
"Spirit Lance."
"According to Lei Hui Beast King, the three Beast Emperors all possess Spirit Orbs, and this matches some of the information we've gathered... But after sweeping through the lairs of the three Beast Emperors, we didn't find a single Spirit Orb, which means they were likely taken away by other Flying Heaven Beast Kings." Luo Chan couldn't help but speak up, "The remaining Beast Kings of the Ruin Beast Tribe have most likely regrouped."
"Lei Hui Beast King's words can't be entirely trusted."
"The key is that the channel at the bottom of this lake was originally sealed, but by the time we arrived, the Power Core Array covering the lake bottom had already been shattered."
"This is obviously a trap set by the Ruin Beast Tribe. It's like a trap." Luo Chan looked at Li Yuan, "If you go in, you might encounter danger."
Everyone present fell into deep thought.
Luo Chan's words made sense.
"Luo Chan." Li Yuan said, "Two questions. First, if those Flying Beast Kings didn't deliberately reveal the Sky Serpent Lake's bottom channel, couldn't we have discovered it through our scans?"
Luo Chan was speechless.
Indeed!
Regardless of whether the Green Ascension Beast King and the others had destroyed the outer Power Core Array, the Seven Stars Civilization would have thoroughly scanned the Sky Serpent Lake, at most delaying the process for some time.
"If this channel is truly dangerous, then entering it would mean certain death. Why would the Sky Serpent Beast Emperor choose to guard this place specifically?" Li Yuan smiled.
Li Yuan didn't say it outright.
Recently, he had received a message from Fang Hai: "According to our intelligence, the Thousand Demon Civilization's genius who entered the 'Soldier Channel' near the outskirts of Ming Mountain didn't last long before meeting their demise."
How did they perish? It's unclear! But it's enough to show that both channels might be dangerous.
Without more intelligence, Li Yuan could only take a gamble.
"Spirit Lance, do you really have to rush in?" Li Yang suddenly spoke up.
"Yes!"
"We can continue hunting down those Flying Beast Kings from the outside." The others also chimed in, still concerned for Li Yuan's safety.
"If I don't go in and kill them, can we truly occupy the Ming Xu World with peace of mind?" Li Yuan shook his head.
"Give me and Jiang Zai enough time, and we can take them down." Tavarez assured.
As a True Intent Origin Warrior, he believed that reaching the Flying Heaven Realm wouldn't be too difficult.
"I believe you can match up to them in the future, and even defeat them. But how long will it take?" Li Yuan asked.
"I can't wait that long." Li Yuan shook his head, "I can't stay in the Ming Xu World indefinitely either."
Tavarez opened his mouth but remained silent.
In truth, he wasn't entirely confident about reaching the Flying Heaven Realm within ten years, so he naturally didn't dare to boast.
"Moreover, I can wait, but what about Yu Jinghe? Can he fight his way out on his own... It's completely unpredictable." Li Yuan said.
"The Thousand Demon Civilization's genius has already ventured in... If we let them obtain some crucial treasure inside, the outcome of this war is hard to predict." Li Yuan spoke slowly.
The other human warriors present didn't know.
But Li Yuan was well aware that a Sacred Land might contain powerful artifacts.
If the Thousand Demon Civilization's genius or the three Beast Emperors obtained and controlled such artifacts, even a Demigod might not be able to stop them.
"Entering this so-called Sacred Land does indeed carry risks."
"If there were no risks, why would they rely on me to enter?" Li Yuan smiled candidly, and these were his true thoughts.
In the void, there was silence.
Tavarez, Luo Chan, and the others all fell silent.
In reality, everyone understood that if not for the 'Spirit Lance' displaying his extraordinary combat power, the higher-ups of the Seven Stars Civilization might not have been determined to engage in battle... Faced with the pressure from the three Beast Emperors, the Seven Stars Civilization might have chosen to withdraw from the Ming Xu World.
In war, there are victories and defeats.
The Seven Stars Civilization wasn't considered exceptionally powerful among the various foreign civilizations.
In the past, the Seven Stars Civilization had failed to claim star realms on multiple occasions.
For instance, in the dispute over the Lob Sea Star Realm, they had been consistently suppressed, barely managing to hold their ground.
"After I enter the Sacred Land, all eight of your warships should return to the Bright Moon Base." Li Yuan instructed, "The top-tier Beast Kings have been eradicated by me, so even if the other Flying Beast Kings join forces... They won't be able to directly invade the base."
"Understood." Tavarez nodded.
They all understood that the focus of this star realm war had shifted from the vast territories of the Ming Xu World to the 'Sacred Land'.
If Li Yuan could successfully eliminate the three Beast Emperors within the Sacred Land, then it would be a great accomplishment.
"Good."
"I'm going in." With a thought, Li Yuan's body was enveloped in layers of yellow and green energy currents, forming an interwoven protective barrier.
Maintaining the largest possible range for the barrier provided the best scanning effect, ensuring effective early warnings.
"Boom~"
The barrier contained astonishing power, breaking through the layers of water currents and protecting Li Yuan.
Soon.
"The Power Core Array covering the lake bottom has been directly shattered." Li Yuan's realm was so profound that he could sense the ripples spreading around him.
"This Power Core, it must be the Three Beast Emperors' creation from within the Mothership." Li Yuan mused.
The Power Core, a formidable construct, harnesses the mysteries of heaven and earth, utilizing peculiar artifacts for solidification. When activated, it unleashes a formidable might.
However, creating a Power Core is an arduous task.
Even the mysteries of heaven and earth, when harnessed by the most skilled, often prove futile in its creation.
Similar to Storage Artifacts, for Deities, crafting such items is a manageable endeavor.
But for Demigods? It's akin to climbing the heavens.
Only the adept find it effortless.
In reality, the Power Core, Storage Artifacts, and other treasures within the Seven Stars Civilization are primarily discovered within ancient ruins.
"The Alliance Leader's insight is astounding. Merely by observing Ming Mountain's exterior and the limited knowledge of Mingxu Star Realm... he deduced that Ming Mountain might be a fallen Divine Class Mothership." Li Yuan sighed inwardly.
The more Li Yuan delved into the mysteries, the more he sensed the unfathomable depth of Dongfang Ji... Just like before, the swift acquisition of the 'Divine Body of All Things' manuscript had left Li Yuan astonished.
"The Gateway."
Finally, Li Yuan reached the lake's bottom, enveloped in pitch darkness. His powerful divine sense could probe a radius of several hundred meters, and within, a radiant light shone.
This was a gateway, an abyssal passage, approximately a hundred meters wide.
From the gateway's depths, a hazy light emanated, obscuring the interior from Li Yuan's view.
Countless water currents were held at bay by an invisible force outside the gateway.
"It's somewhat similar to the entrance to the Inner Realm in Lieyu Star Realm." Li Yuan thought, recalling his initial entry into the Inner Realm.
"The gateway's surroundings seem metallic." Li Yuan sensed, "According to the Alliance Leader's intelligence... the entire Divine Class Mothership is solidified by the Power Core, even a Demigod at their peak would struggle to breach the Mothership's exterior."
These materials might not rival Demigod artifacts, but solidified by the Power Core, they become exceedingly sturdy... Li Yuan had attempted before, unable to budge them.
Observing further.
"Entering."
With a thought, Li Yuan, through his domain, descended into the peculiar gateway below.
Above the lake.
"The Spirit Lance's trace is lost." Tavarez's voice deepened, "He's entered the Sacred Land."
"He's in?"
"What of his life force?" The others anxiously inquired, their concern palpable.
"According to the Life Crystal, there's no life-threatening danger." Tavarez explained, "But he's just entered, so it's too early to tell."
Within the Seven Stars Civilization, a unique treasure, the Life Crystal, confirms life and death within close proximity.
Upon death, the Life Crystal shatters.
Yu Jinghe, before entering, had refined a Life Crystal, confirming his life.
Li Yuan, not long ago, had also refined a Life Crystal, subsequently leaving it on the Tier Four Warship.
"Let's depart."
"Without the Spirit Lance, our situation is perilous. Let's return to Ming Moon Base and fortify our position, awaiting news from Yu Jinghe."
Soon, eight warships swiftly departed from Heaven Serpent Lake.
...
Plunging into the radiant, peculiar gateway.
Li Yuan felt his eyes deceive him, now within an immense hall, its height surpassing ten kilometers, and its diameter, a vast several dozen kilometers.
This was no mere hall, but a miniature realm.
"Entirely forged from metal?" Li Yuan held his breath, awestruck within this colossal space.
The floor and surrounding walls were flawlessly smooth, all metallic, devoid of even a speck of dust.
Pristine, as if brand new.
Simultaneously, light emanated from within, illuminating the entire space, revealing its grandeur.
"A gateway?" Li Yuan, after his initial surprise, noticed over a dozen passages nearby.
Within each passage, ripples of light danced, obscuring what lay beyond.
"This must be a gathering square."
Li Yuan, referencing the intelligence, swiftly deduced, "In the past, the strong within this Mothership would gather here, then charge out through this gateway."
"That gateway, if fully opened, isn't just a hundred meters, but several thousand kilometers, serving as the foundation for a civilization's journey through the endless starry sea."
Ming Mountain might be but a fragment of a fallen Mothership.
"Which passage should I choose?" Li Yuan pondered.
A hum filled the air, an invisible force sweeping past, its strength and speed overwhelming, leaving Li Yuan no time to react.
Scanning!
Like a thorough examination.
From above, countless lights materialized, forming a colossal black serpentine shadow, its surface adorned with heavy armor.
Even as a shadow, it exuded immense power.
"A serpent?" Li Yuan's eyebrows rose, his heart filled with caution.
"An outsider!"
"Dare you intrude upon our Mothership? Do you seek death?" The black serpentine shadow glared at Li Yuan, its eyes radiating malevolence.
