Chapter 360: The Civilization Half-Gods! Slaughter

Chapter 360: The Civilization Half-Gods! Slaughter

The Seven-Star Civilization, the earliest of the six starfields derived from the Star Bridge, is connected to the Flying Star and the other six planets. Therefore, they are named from the 'First Starfield' to the 'Sixth Starfield'.

For example, the starfield passage between the Blue Star and the Flying Star is the Third Starfield.

The passage between Lan Tie Star and the Flying Star is the Sixth Starfield.

As Li Yuan and Duanyu Hong rushed towards the Sixth Starfield, a unique palace deep within the headquarters of the Starfire Martial Hall on the Flying Star.

Hum~ Countless rays of light appeared out of thin air and converged, forming Li Yuan's ethereal form.

It was Li Yuan's soul projection.

With his soul transformed into a Half-God level, he could leave behind some soul imprints, which consumed very little spiritual energy when not in use, allowing for long-term maintenance.

The last time Li Yuan met Fang Hai, he left a soul imprint in the Starfire Martial Hall headquarters and the Seven-Star Temple, making it convenient to contact them in critical moments.

This wasn't a secret; many Half-Gods were aware of it.

After all, Li Yuan's soul transformation into a Half-God was public knowledge, and the alien civilization was also aware of it.

"Principal," Li Yuan said, looking at Fang Hai who was not far away.

The entire hall was empty, except for Fang Hai and the white-robed elder, Yun Lao.

Of course, Yun Lao was just an ethereal form.

"You already have a preliminary understanding of the situation," Fang Hai said, looking at Li Yuan. "The additional starfield passage on Lan Tie Star is a third-rank passage that leads to the Cloudscape Starfield."

"The Cloudscape Starfield is absolutely controlled by the Demon Realm Civilization."

"Our control over Lan Tie Star is very weak, and we didn't expect a third-rank starfield passage to appear directly," Fang Hai sighed. "Moreover, the passage entrance is quite large, spanning three hundred kilometers... It requires two Half-Gods to barely seal it off. Only by guarding the passage can we prevent the Demon Realm Civilization from sending more Flying Heaven Realms."

Li Yuan listened attentively.

Just moments ago, within a few breaths, he had quickly reviewed the information sent by Fang Hai.

Lan Tie Star had already fallen into war, with countless Flying Heaven Demonic Sons launching a full-scale attack from the oceans towards the cities on land... It was now known that the Demon Realm Civilization had already produced over a thousand Flying Heaven Realms.

Of course, there were also over a thousand Flying Heaven Warriors stationed on Lan Tie Star, putting up a fierce resistance.

"Take a look," Fang Hai said, pointing to a spot not far away.

Whoosh~ Countless lights and shadows converged, forming the ethereal forms of three planets, each glowing with light as if observed from an extremely high altitude.

"Is this the Blue Star? The Flying Star?" Li Yuan instantly recognized two of the planets.

He was very familiar with these two planets.

"Yes, the other planet is the Heaven Sea Star," Fang Hai said in a low voice. "According to the Alliance Leader, you should be aware of the planet defense system... The Flying Star, Blue Star, and Heaven Sea Star all have planet defense systems that are unshakable."

"These three planets are the most important."

"These planet defense systems were all brought by the teacher," Fang Hai explained. "But the other four planets... none of them have such a perfect planet defense system."

Li Yuan understood.

Previously, he had wondered why, according to Gu You's initial infiltration of the Blue Star, an attack of this magnitude from the Demon Realm Civilization should have been detected in advance... now he understood.

"What about the Half-Gods?" Li Yuan couldn't help but ask. "What about the Half-Gods on Lan Tie Star?"

Fang Hai looked at the nearby Yun Lao.

"In the Seven-Star Civilization, we only have sixty-plus Half-Gods, most of whom are stationed at various third-rank starfields," Yun Lao said slowly. "For example, there are nearly thirty Half-Gods stationed on the Flying Star."

"Eleven Half-Gods are stationed in the Cloudscape Starfield."

"Seven Half-Gods are stationed on the Blue Star."

"There are also a few Half-Gods stationed at several important third-rank starfields," Yun Lao added in a low voice. "Most Half-Gods cannot be moved easily... The Half-Gods stationed on Lan Tie Star number only four."

"Currently, one of them is guarding a third-rank starfield on the way to Lan Tie Star, and he cannot move."

"The other two have already rushed to the entrance of the Cloudscape Starfield. That starfield entrance is too large, spanning three hundred kilometers... It requires two Half-Gods to barely seal it off. Only by guarding the passage can we prevent the Demon Realm Civilization from sending more Flying Heaven Realms."

Li Yuan understood.

In that case, the only Half-Gods from the Alliance who could freely act on Lan Tie Star were just four. No wonder the situation was so dire.

"The starfield passages within the plane are only third-rank starfields," Fang Hai shook his head. "Therefore, Half-Gods from other planets can only travel along the starry sky in starships."

"That's too slow," Li Yuan said.

The distances between different planets varied, with the shortest being millions of kilometers and the longest being billions of kilometers... Traveling in fourth-rank starships through the starry sky would take at least several months or even years to reach their destination.

By the time the Half-Gods from other planets arrived, the war would have long been decided.

The vast distances between planets ensured that when one planet faced a devastating attack, the others had a significant buffer time to guarantee their safety.

For example, the great extinction of the Flying Star did not affect the other planets, saving the Seven-Star Civilization.

Every advantage comes with a disadvantage.

Similarly, when one planet faced a crisis, it would be difficult for Half-Gods from other planets to provide aid.

"If the situation were only like this, it wouldn't be too urgent," Fang Hai said solemnly. "What I'm worried about is the presence of Flying Heaven Demonic Sons among the Flying Heaven Realms who invaded Lan Tie Star."

Flying Heaven Demonic Sons? Li Yuan was startled.

From his previous conversations with Xue Yan and the various information he had reviewed, he naturally understood the basic system of the Demon Realm Civilization.

"Principal, are you worried that the Demon Realm Civilization will produce Half-Gods on Lan Tie Star?" Li Yuan asked in a low voice.

"Yes," Fang Hai nodded. "If there are only a thousand, or even three thousand or five thousand Flying Heaven Realms... As long as we block the starfield entrances, even with heavy casualties, we will eventually annihilate them."

"After all, although the Half-Gods from other planets cannot arrive quickly, the Flying Heaven Warriors can reach there swiftly. Over five thousand Flying Heaven Warriors have been dispatched from various planets."

"They will all arrive at Lan Tie Star and join the battle within a day."

Li Yuan listened with a shocked heart.

Over five thousand Flying Heaven Warriors? How many Flying Heaven Warriors are there in the entire Seven-Star Civilization and Lan Tie Star? This time, to save Lan Tie Star, the Seven-Star Civilization has indeed spared no effort.

"But what truly decides victory or defeat is the Half-God level."

"Fang Hai looked at Li Yuan, "Among the civilizations, only you can quickly reach the powerful Halfgods."

"At the same time, your soul attacks can swiftly kill those Flying Heaven Warriors, and your speed far surpasses other Halfgods."

Li Yuan listened.

In terms of soul attacks, Li Yuan was probably among the top three in the Seven Stars Civilization.

Even the Principal might not be able to match his soul attack.

"The most important thing..."

"Within the Demon Civilization, if there are hidden Flying Heaven Demonic Sons, they are definitely in seclusion, and it's estimated that they will nurture their souls to the Halfgod level. Only when they cultivate Star Arts to the fourth level will they take action." Fang Hai said, "So, I need you to lure them out."

"Lure them out?" Li Yuan's eyes lit up as he thought of the Principal's previous order.

He couldn't expose his true life level.

"I cultivate a breath of Domain Secret Technique. Even if it's a Flying Heaven Star Master, they can only vaguely sense that I'm a Flying Heaven." Li Yuan said, "But they can't confirm my true life level... I'll disguise myself as a newly advanced 33rd level, which shouldn't be difficult."

It was extremely challenging to completely conceal one's breath in front of other powerful beings.

Every powerful being's Divine Perception was very sensitive.

For example, how could Li Yuan pretend to be an ordinary person in front of other Flying Heaven Star Masters? It was impossible.

To completely conceal his breath, he had to cultivate some terrifying breath-concealing Star Arts, thereby altering his surface life breath.

Only some extremely heaven-defying assassins could achieve this.

Li Yuan had a high realm and powerful soul, but he hadn't cultivated similar Star Arts.

It was already very difficult for him to conceal some life breath in front of other Flying Heaven Star Masters.

"33rd level? Perfect."

Fang Hai nodded. "Even if the Demon Civilization sends Flying Heaven Demonic Sons, their numbers shouldn't be more than five... If they are allowed to safely advance to the Halfgod level and hide in our Seven Stars Civilization, it will be difficult to guard against."

Li Yuan slightly reassured Fang Hai.

If a Halfgod were to be born in the Starfield, it would only result in the loss of one Starfield. But if there was a hostile Halfgod within the civilization, this Halfgod would spend a long time nurturing his soul, and he could completely launch attacks on various planets, making it almost impossible to defend against.

Therefore, they must be eliminated!

"Are you confident?" Fang Hai looked at Li Yuan, "I'll let you participate in the battle, but first, I must ensure your safety."

"Principal, rest assured." Li Yuan nodded.

"When the Principal swept through the Ten Thousand Cold Starfield, he killed the Halfgods. But a few months ago, the enemy counterattacked, and we also suffered heavy casualties."

"Last year, our entire army was annihilated in the Blue Star's Penglai Starfield War, and we completely withdrew from the Penglai Starfield."

"Four years ago, in the Devil Mountain Starfield War, An Sen Halfgod fell." Yun Lao shook his head, "In war, is there ever eternal victory?"

"We will do our best."

Fang Hai nodded slightly.

In the Seven Stars Civilization, wars broke out every year, some on a large scale and some on a small scale. The larger-scale wars included the Ten Thousand Cold Starfield War, the Penglai Starfield War, and the Ming Xu Starfield War... Even if they lost these wars, they wouldn't affect the foundation of the Seven Stars Civilization.

Even Li Yuan and Fang Hai, who seemed to be dazzling, had only participated in a small part of the battles at different power levels.

In the Devil Mountain Starfield War, more than ten Halfgods from the Seven Stars Civilization participated, and eventually, a Halfgod even fell... At that time, Li Yuan was in seclusion, and Fang Hai was adventuring in the Nine Leaf World.

They weren't qualified to participate in the war.

This Lan Tie Star crisis was also one of the major crises faced by the Seven Stars Civilization in recent decades.

"If the situation becomes critical..."

"Afterward, we'll have to invest more resources to calm this turmoil." Fang Hai shook his head and said solemnly, "For now, we'll have to send three more Halfgods to guard Lan Tie Star."

"There are too few Halfgods within the civilization." Fang Hai sighed.

"Come, my Seven Stars Civilization, there are 68 Halfgods?"

There were five Alien Demigod guest advisors?" Li Yuan perused the complete Demigod intelligence report sent by the Principal, inwardly sighing, "All these Alien Demigod guest advisors are staying on the Flying Star?"

"68 Demigods, and only five of them are at the Flying Heaven Peak?" Li Yuan felt the pressure.

Dongfang Ji, Lan Te Demigod, Xue Bu Demigod, Xin Yu Demigod, and Fang Hai Demigod.

In other words, before Fang Hai's breakthrough, the Seven Stars Civilization had only produced four Demigod-level powerhouses? Perhaps some Demigods had concealed their strength, but at least according to public intelligence, this was the extent of the Seven Stars Civilization's top combat power.

"According to the intelligence, the Demon Realm Civilization has over a thousand Demigods, with about a hundred of them being Demigod-level powerhouses?" Li Yuan silently shook his head.

No wonder the Demon Realm Civilization could produce Divine Beings generation after generation.

With such a large base, the chances of producing Divine Beings were far greater.

Compared to the Demon Realm Civilization, the Seven Stars Civilization's top combat power was indeed too weak.

If the Demon Realm Civilization had such combat power, what about the stronger Immortal Ruins Civilization?

At this moment, Li Yuan finally understood the significance of the Alliance Lord to the entire civilization... If the Alliance Lord hadn't unleashed his divine might during the Flying Star War over a hundred years ago, the Seven Stars Civilization would have perished long ago.

"Time!"

"The rise of the Seven Stars Civilization was too short. The oldest Demigods are only three or four hundred years old, and they are still growing." Li Yuan thought to himself, "Given enough time, we can produce more Demigods and Demigod-level powerhouses."

"The four Demigods of Lantie Star."

"Only one is at the middle Demigod stage, while the other three are at the initial Demigod stage." Li Yuan's eyes flashed with battle intent, "Now, I don't even have the qualifications to participate in wars in the first, second, and fourth-rank Star Gates."

"But within my capabilities, I will do my best."

...

The warship traveled at an incredible speed.

After six hours, the warship had already carried over a hundred Flying Heaven Warriors and directly passed through the Sixth Star Gate into Lantie Star.

What appeared before their eyes was an ultra-large city with a population of tens of millions.

As a passageway between Star Gates, the area around the entrance and exit naturally became a transportation hub, attracting a large population to form a city.

This city was a transportation hub on Lantie Star, but now, a large number of people were pouring in from the Star Gate, continuously flowing into the Sixth Star Gate.

Even with the naked eye, one could see countless flying vehicles rushing from the edge of the sky.

A chaotic scene unfolded.

"The news has spread, and this is a planetary crisis."

"The battle between Flying Heaven-level beings has a massive impact, and many cities will be destroyed."

"The death toll has already exceeded a hundred million, and who knows how many more will follow."

"We don't even know how long this great war will last." A nearby Flying Heaven Warrior spoke in a deep voice, "Time is short, our strength is limited, and we can only arrange for some elites to evacuate, heading towards the Flying Star."

"But countless ordinary people on Lantie Star, anyone with some ability, are desperately trying to escape, wanting to leave this star." Another Flying Heaven Warrior also sighed.

Li Yuan, with his divine perception, could sense the fear and unease on the faces of countless ordinary people in the city with just a thought.

This great war had come too suddenly.

The entire Seven Stars Civilization was unprepared.

"Compared to such a planetary crisis, the Fish Spirit Tide is like child's play." Li Yuan sighed inwardly, feeling heavy-hearted.

In previous Star Gate wars, it was mainly warriors who participated, and ordinary people were not greatly affected.

But this time, it directly threatened the homeland of the Seven Stars Civilization.

"In the past, during the Great Extinction on the Flying Star, the entire star was nearly wiped out, and it was even more tragic than the current Lantie Star." Li Yuan felt a strong sense of crisis.

The scenes he had seen in school textbooks were now becoming a reality.

Today it was Lantie Star, but would it be the Blue Star in the future?

"Absolutely not," Li Yuan silently vowed, his eyes filled with a terrifying determination.

...

The warship hovered in the sky above the city.

"Everyone."

Duanyu Hong spoke in a deep voice, "Your information has all been recorded in the 'Star System.' Through global positioning, you can check the locations of all our strong warriors."

"White represents the initial Flying Heaven-level strength."

"Red represents the intermediate Flying Heaven-level strength."

"Black represents the advanced Flying Heaven-level strength." Duanyu Hong's gaze swept across all the strong warriors, "Purple represents the Flying Star Lord-level strength."

"Gold represents the Demigod-level strength."

"However, members at the black level and below cannot view the whereabouts of Flying Star Lords and Demigods. This is to prevent information leaks." Duanyu Hong explained, "At the same time, you can only view the locations of strong warriors within your patrol areas."

Everyone listened quietly.

In this planetary war, with thousands of Flying Heaven Warriors participating, it was highly likely that there would be one or two Alien spies.

Therefore, certain measures to prevent leaks were necessary.

"There are indeed many Flying Heaven Warriors," Li Yuan said as he looked down at his intelligent ring, which displayed the color purple.

But with Li Yuan's access, he could accurately locate every Flying Heaven Warrior on the entire star.

He could even view the locations of the four Demigods.

"Good."

"Everyone's tasks have been assigned. Proceed with your actions." Duanyu Hong spoke in a deep voice, "Remember, if you encounter an overwhelmingly powerful opponent, immediately flee and seek help. There's no need to fight to the death."

"Yes."

"The ship's hatch opened, and over a hundred Flying Heaven Warriors quickly departed, forming small teams and heading towards their respective target areas.

Only Li Yuan and Duanyu Hong remained on the warship.

"Li Yuan, my task is to patrol the Yuanlian Province." Duanyu Hong looked at Li Yuan, "What about you?"

"Free to act as I see fit," Li Yuan smiled.

"Free to act as you see fit?" Duanyu Hong nodded in understanding, "I understand. You're like Mu Ji Demigod, patrolling globally."

Among the thousands of Flying Heaven Warriors, some had garrison duties, some had patrol duties, and some had reconnaissance duties.

But their goal was singular—to eradicate the Flying Heaven Demonic Sons who had infiltrated from the Demon Civilization. The stronger the warrior, the larger the area they were typically responsible for.

Demigods were in charge of the entire global range. Any troubles that Flying Star Lords couldn't handle would be passed on to the Demigods.

Soon, Li Yuan flew out of the warship, the surrounding light distorted, and he disappeared into the sky.

"Li Yuan has likely reached the Demigod level." Duanyu Hong thought to himself, "With another Demigod, we can greatly reduce our losses."

Whoosh!

Duanyu Hong piloted his battle ship and swiftly departed.

...

In the void.

"Xiao Bing, I hope you can help me this time." Li Yuan's arm was wrapped in a green serpent.

"Big brother's hometown is also my hometown." Liu Bing Lian said, "What do you want me to do?"

Liu Bing readily agreed to Li Yuan's request without a second thought.

"Let's split up and investigate the land areas in the Western Hemisphere." Li Yuan said, "Kill all the alien Flying Heavens we encounter along the way."

"With your strength, you shouldn't encounter too much trouble."

Over a year later, Liu Bing had cultivated to level 36, and her frontal combat strength was terrifying.

The key was her astonishing speed; even most Demigod-level experts couldn't match her in flight speed.

"Big brother, rest assured. I know what to do." Liu Bing nodded excitedly, "I'll do my best to avoid exposure. With my soul power concealed, those alien Flying Heavens probably won't realize my existence."

"Good." Li Yuan nodded.

Liu Bing was now a Demigod-level soul, and although her soul power was weaker than Li Yuan's, her flight speed was faster... When it came to scouting speed, she far surpassed him.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Li Yuan and Liu Bing split up.

Through their soul connection, they could easily communicate on a planet, allowing Li Yuan to instantly transmit intelligence from the entire planet to Liu Bing.

...

At the other end of the planet, tens of thousands of kilometers away.

Huff!

A rapidly moving figure suddenly stopped, his white hair flowing, it was none other than the only mid-level Demigod on Lantie Star, 'Mu Ji Demigod'.

He was frantically scouting.

"Li Yuan has arrived?" Mu Ji Demigod's eyes flashed with surprise, "Am I in charge of the Eastern Hemisphere, while Li Yuan takes the Western Hemisphere?"

He received two messages from Li Yuan and Fang Hai.

"Rumors say Li Yuan is level 33? But according to Fang Hai, Li Yuan already possesses Demigod-level combat strength?" Mu Ji Demigod thought.

"Fang Hai's words are trustworthy."

"With a smaller search area, my scouting efficiency will naturally increase significantly." Mu Ji Demigod thought.

...

Huff!

After breaking through the Flying Sky Realm, Li Yuan's flight speed far surpassed the past, as he swiftly advanced along the planned scouting route, his divine perception spreading to sense everything along the way.

Shuttling back and forth.

"There are no alien Flying Heavens on the surface of this area." Li Yuan quickly headed towards the next area.

The Seven Star Civilization's higher-ups had already formulated a plan.

First, they would scout near large cities, then the continental surface, followed by the continental interior, and finally, the sea areas... After all, there were no humans living in the sea areas.

The key was to eliminate the threat to ordinary people.

"There are no alien Flying Heavens in this area." Li Yuan swiftly swept through another area, his flight speed and divine perception allowing him to cover a vast area.

"It seems like..."

"After the first wave of raids, the Demigods revealed themselves, and the alien Flying Heavens of the Demon Civilization hid." Li Yuan thought, "Are these alien Flying Heavens waiting for something?"

Li Yuan had a premonition that the principal's prediction might be correct.

...

"Big brother."

"I've found three alien Flying Heavens and killed them." Liu Bing sent a soul message to Li Yuan, "I'm continuing to scout."

"Good, try to conceal your tracks." Li Yuan replied through a soul message.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Li Yuan searched with all his might, and after swiftly scouting several city areas, he finally discovered the aliens' whereabouts.

"Hmm?"

"Such a faint Heavenly Earth Power fluctuation, it should be from a Flying Heaven lifeform, but it's not shown on the planet map. Are they aliens?" Li Yuan sensed a subtle Heavenly Earth Power fluctuation hundreds of kilometers away.

This kind of fluctuation was beyond the perception of ordinary Flying Heaven Warriors.

But Li Yuan's perception ability rivaled that of a Demigod-level expert, and he immediately rushed over.

Boom! Boom!

Li Yuan tore through the earth, his actions subtle yet swift, as he quickly delved into the earth for nearly two hundred kilometers.

His divine perception enveloped the area.

"A nest."

"Here, there are actually over twenty alien Flying Heavens hiding?" Li Yuan confirmed.

In the depths of the earth, over twenty alien Flying Heavens were gathered, seemingly waiting for orders.

They were all humanoid creatures, some with wings, some with multiple arms, and some with scaly armor.

The Demon Civilization's humanoid experts were a mixed bunch, and there were many alien beasts among them.

"Ah~"

"No!"

"Me?" Over twenty alien Flying Heavens, most of them perished silently, while the two mid-level Flying Heavens struggled for a few seconds before dying as well.

After such a long time, Li Yuan's soul attack secret art had improved even further, its might becoming even more terrifying.

Only two Flying Heaven peak experts, their eyes filled with struggle, desperately resisting Li Yuan's soul attack.

They even roared in anger, but for a while, they couldn't fully regain their senses.

"Huff!"

Li Yuan flashed and charged into the cave where they were hiding, his palm emitting a dazzling light as he slashed down mercilessly.

Using his palm as a blade!

Whoosh!

The terrifying blade light sliced through, its power instantly reaching the Demigod level, directly sweeping away the two Flying Heaven peak experts still struggling.

Puff! They fell, and Li Yuan waved his hand, collecting all the treasures left behind by these powerful alien Flying Heavens.

"Continue." Li Yuan flashed and tore through the earth, rushing towards the next area.

...

In the distant Demon Civilization.

"Li Yuan has appeared?" The Eastern Demon God received the news, both surprised and delighted.
