Chapter 366: The Fury of the Eastern Demon! Civilization Access Rights

"Captured?"

A glimmer of hope flashed in Li Yuan's eyes. "Good! Xiao Bing, take her with you and head straight to Jiashanwan City. I'll wait for you there."

Initially, Li Yuan didn't hold out much hope for Xiao Bing capturing the fleeing Demigod.

After all, the vast land spanned thousands of kilometers. Even with Liu Bing's incredible speed, her divine perception had limited range, and the chances of encountering the target were less than thirty percent.

Unexpectedly, with only a twenty to thirty percent chance, Liu Bing had succeeded.

"Xiao Bing is indeed my lucky charm," Li Yuan thought to himself.

"Xiao Bing is about 2,000 kilometers away from me," Li Yuan confirmed their approximate location, and through their soul connection, they could easily pinpoint each other's positions.

Boom!

Li Yuan transformed into a streak of light and swiftly returned to Jiashanwan City, located several hundred kilometers away.

Before he even arrived, Li Yuan could see from afar that the city at the edge of the world was still shrouded by a vast expanse of dark clouds, resembling a desolate ruin.

The entire city was almost completely flattened, and the surrounding areas were also affected, resulting in heavy casualties.

This sight caused Li Yuan to sigh inwardly.

Jiashanwan City was a city similar in size to River City, and now it had been reduced to this state.

Although Li Yuan had broken through the Source Energy Array, he hadn't removed the array's foundation. Consequently, this massive Source Energy Array was still operational, albeit with restrained power since there was no Demigod overseeing it, preventing further outbursts.

"Logically, such a Source Energy Array should be extremely valuable," Li Yuan thought. "But after all this time, if no other Aliens have come to retrieve the array's foundation artifact, does that mean there are only these three Alien Demigods in the Lantie Star's Seven Stars Civilization?"

The reason Li Yuan rushed to Jiashanwan City was to prevent this Source Energy Array from being taken by a potential Alien Demigod.

With the help of this array, three initial-stage Demigods could each unleash mid-stage Demigod combat power, even trapping Li Yuan before his breakthrough. One could imagine the immense value of this Source Energy Array.

Boom!

Li Yuan stood in the void, gazing down below, his powerful aura unconcealed.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Over a dozen streaks of light flew towards him—they were Flying Heaven Warriors who had received the news and rushed over within minutes.

"Star Lord Li Yuan," they greeted him.

"We pay our respects to the Star Lord," more than ten Flying Heaven Warriors bowed respectfully.

Although they didn't know the specifics of the battle, the virtual network's 'Global System' provided them with the latest intelligence, clearly stating that this was a Demigod battle, and an Alien Demigod had appeared.

By the time they arrived, the grand battle in the city had long ended, and the sight of the massive Source Energy Array with its churning black clouds was enough to make their hearts race.

Then, they witnessed Li Yuan's return, but there was no sign of the Alien Demigod.

There was no doubt that Li Yuan had emerged victorious.

"It's safe now," Li Yuan scanned the group with his gaze, and with a thought, a wave of invisible vibrations swept through the air.

A vast plain, several kilometers away, suddenly teemed with countless figures, appearing out of thin air.

Millions of them.

There were elderly people, children, many warriors, and some individuals barely clothed... Of course, there were also the nearly twenty Flying Heaven Warriors that Li Yuan had previously captured.

The millions of ordinary people were bewildered, as for them, only a few minutes had passed.

It was undoubtedly a surreal experience.

"Who are these people?"

"Who are they?" The Flying Heaven Warriors who had come to assist were also astonished, wondering what divine power had been used to summon hundreds of thousands of people out of thin air.

"During my confrontation with the three Alien Demigods, I could only save these people," Li Yuan explained in a low voice. "Many others couldn't be rescued... They have lost their homes, so please take care of the aftermath."

Three Alien Demigods?

The group of Flying Heaven Warriors was shocked but remained respectful. "We obey the Star Lord's command."

There was a distinction between a Star Lord and a Star Lord.

Undoubtedly, in their minds, although Li Yuan was at the Flying Heaven Realm, he was no different from a true Demigod.

Soon after.

Whoosh!

A massive green streak of light traversed the heavens, awe-inspiring in its grandeur.

Amidst the awe-filled gazes of the Flying Heaven Warriors, the light dissipated, revealing Liu Bing's beauty. Her body was colossal, radiating a crystalline glow, and her abdomen bore sharp claws, resembling a legendary blue dragon, albeit without the dragon horns or whiskers.

"She's in the form of a Divine Serpent," Li Yuan thought, knowing it was Xiao Bing's disguise, pretending to be an ordinary Celestial Serpent.

If it were the Holy Blood Celestial Serpent, it would have scales and a head, but this was a mere disguise.

"I pay my respects to the Divine Serpent," they greeted.

"Divine Serpent," over thirty Flying Heaven Warriors bowed respectfully, and the hundreds of thousands of people below held their breath, witnessing this scene.

After several days of intense battles across the entire Lantie Star, even ordinary people knew the names of Li Yuan and the Divine Serpent.

"Big Brother," Liu Bing said.

"The Alien Demigod is here," Liu Bing transmitted her voice, and with a flash of light, a figure appeared out of thin air.

She was stunning, standing over two meters tall, with two curved horns growing from her head, and an incredibly powerful aura emanating from her.

However, this Demigod was currently restrained, bound by a blue rope.

"A Demigod?"

"An Alien Demigod?" The Flying Heaven Warriors present were shocked, their expressions changing as they looked at Liu Bing.

The Divine Serpent had captured an Alien Demigod captive?

"Are you Sang Qiu?" Li Yuan asked the Alien Demigod, his voice calm. "I believe you understand. Don't resist me."

On her way, Liu Bing had gathered some initial intelligence, which she shared with Li Yuan.

"Xiao Bing, stay here and guard this Source Energy Array," Li Yuan transmitted.

Whoosh!

Li Yuan approached Sang Qiu, the Alien Demigod, and with a swift motion, he grabbed her. Then, the two of them rushed towards the distant black clouds, disappearing from everyone's sight.

"Star Lord Li Yuan?"

"He went into the Source Energy Array alone with the Demigod?"

"Isn't he in danger?" Many Flying Heaven Warriors worried, some even glancing at Liu Bing.

In their eyes, this was a Demigod, and even though she had been captured, they believed caution was still necessary.

"Don't worry too much," many Flying Heaven Warriors reassured. "The other two Alien Demigods, who were even stronger, have been slain by our master. This one is the weakest."

"Liu Bing glanced at them and said, "Go on, you're busy."

This was Qiu Bingzun's clear suggestion. To the outside world, Liu Bing was an ordinary Celestial Serpent, and also Li Yuan's spirit beast, not a bloodline.

Only then could Liu Bing's identity be better concealed.

As time passed, Liu Bing also desired contact with the outside world, and she yearned for a public identity.

"What? Li Yuan has already killed two Demigods?"

"Flying Heaven, killing Demigods?" These Flying Heaven Warriors were increasingly shocked. "Another Fang Hai Demigod? How long has it been?"

In their understanding, it had only been two years since Li Yuan swept through the Second Tier Star Realm, and now he could kill Demigods.

The shock was unimaginable.

"Such a powerful Divine Serpent, and it's really Li Yuan's spirit beast?" Many Flying Heaven Warriors also thought so.

Subconsciously.

Many Flying Heaven Warriors began to report the information they knew... Liu Bing didn't care at all.

After this battle, the Demon Realm Civilization was already aware of Li Yuan's strength, so there was no need to worry about leaks.

...

Inside the Source Energy Array, dark clouds concealed everything.

"Sang Qiu Demigod?" Li Yuan looked at the completely restrained Sang Qiu Demigod and smiled, "I went to chase your companion, but they didn't seem willing to surrender. Why are you?"

When chasing after Pu Yang Demigod, the other party verbally agreed to surrender, but Li Yuan was in a hurry to kill more Demigods, so he didn't have time to entangle with him and directly killed him.

"They have many hometowns, so they naturally dare not surrender easily, but I don't have many clan ties. My parents have long passed away, and the rest are just distant relatives." Sang Qiu Demigod said, "Secondly, we have also made a Law Oath, and we must obey orders."

Li Yuan listened.

Only distant relatives left?

"Cultivation is not easy. I hope to live on, to live forever," Sang Qiu Demigod looked at Li Yuan, "Li Yuan, I actually received Suhal's transmission, saying that you may have cultivated a Soul Secret Technique, but I don't care."

"Don't care about Soul Control?" Li Yuan's eyes flashed with surprise.

Those who can cultivate to the Demigod level are mostly those with strong willpower and rarely bow their heads to become servants.

Many powerful beings would rather die than surrender.

Without such a strong mind, it's difficult to grow.

"In the Demon Realm Civilization, I wasn't valued much either." Sang Qiu Demigod said solemnly, "If I were valued, I wouldn't have been given this deadly task."

"Besides."

"If I become a servant of an ordinary Demigod, I naturally wouldn't want to." Sang Qiu Demigod stared at Li Yuan, her eyes shining, "But you're different."

"You've only cultivated for less than thirty years, and you already have the strength of a Demigod peak, even that powerful Flying Serpent has surrendered to you. In the future, you may become the legendary True God... If you become my servant, perhaps I can also become a deity."

"In the future, I want to return to the Demon Realm Civilization and take revenge." Sang Qiu Demigod's eyes flashed with hatred.

Li Yuan understood.

People's hearts are different. In the God Realm, there are also many False Deities and True Gods who are willing to follow the Heaven Deity... The treasures given by the Heaven Deity may be great opportunities for ordinary deities.

It seemed that Sang Qiu Demigod still had unfinished business and didn't want to die like this.

"Good."

"I've just cultivated the Soul Secret Technique. If you become my first servant, I'll help you with all my strength in the future." Li Yuan said softly, "After all, if you become a deity and return to the Demon Realm Civilization in the future, it will maximize my value."

Li Yuan said this intentionally.

All of Sang Qiu Demigod's treasures had been taken by Liu Bing, and logically, she shouldn't be able to transmit a message back to the Demon Realm Civilization... But Li Yuan was cautious, thinking that the other party might be pretending to surrender and eventually obtain some intelligence.

"Give up resistance."

"Don't play tricks. You should know that I can kill you with a thought," Li Yuan said, maintaining his Body Star Technique state. With a thought, he had already displayed the Soul Secret Technique, Nine Refinements of Soul.

After his soul transformed into a Demigod, Li Yuan occasionally practiced this secret technique, although he hadn't cultivated it to the Demigod level, it was much stronger than when he was in the Ming Xu Star Realm.

The key was that Li Yuan's soul realm was far beyond what it used to be.

"Chi~"

The invisible soul power quickly penetrated Sang Qiu Demigod's sea of consciousness, gradually displaying the Soul Secret Technique and trying to control her completely.

"Controlling a Demigod is much more troublesome than controlling a Flying Heaven."

"It seems it will take some time," Li Yuan thought to himself, fully immersing himself in the enslavement process.

...

Demon Realm Civilization, Demon Star.

In the vast and magnificent Demon Palace, all was silent, and all Demigods and Flying Heaven Warriors had already left.

In the hall, the three huge light screens that had been floating and projecting were now completely still.

The images on the screens showed the final moments of the three Demigods.

"Eastern Demon," the Northern Moon Deity's shadow sighed, "This failure isn't your fault. If we must blame someone, it's because Li Yuan is too strong."

The Eastern Demon Deity stood in the void, silent.

Although they hadn't personally witnessed the battle between the three Demigods and Li Yuan, they had seen many transmitted images and a large amount of textual information, which made them very clear about Li Yuan's strength.

After a long time.

"How can Li Yuan's strength be so powerful?" The Eastern Demon Deity's eyes were cold, and his fists clenched tightly, "In just two years, he has gone from an Origin Warrior to possessing 45th-level strength?"

"According to the last intelligence from Puyang and the others, Li Yuan's power should not have reached the 45th level," the Northern Moon Deity said, "Otherwise, he could have killed Puyang with a single strike during the final pursuit."

"His domain is very strong, probably surpassing many Demigod-level powerhouses, and his material defense is also extremely powerful."

"Overall," the Northern Moon Deity said, "His Law Perception should have reached the Demigod peak, and his survival abilities are exceptionally strong."

"Even compared to Fang Hai back then, he's much stronger."

The Eastern Demon Deity fell silent.

"In just a few years, he's reached the Flying Sky Realm? What kind of monster is this?"

Throughout the mortal realm, there had never been a Flying Sky Realm cultivator like this.

"With such formidable strength, he must have cultivated two Nine-Level Star Techniques, one for body refinement and the other for domain," analyzed the Northern Moon Deity. "His power foundation is at least 37.9 or even 38.9."

"38.9? An Eight-star Pulse?" The Eastern Demon Deity's pupils constricted.

Throughout the history of the Demon Realm Civilization, not even the sole True God had awakened an Eight-star Pulse.

"It's hard to say," the Northern Moon Deity said. "After all, if he doesn't have such a strong Origin Energy foundation, then his artifact must be incredibly powerful... Otherwise, it's inexplicable."

The Eastern Demon Deity nodded slightly.

All power had its reasons.

Strength was determined by one's perception of the Laws, their weapon, Star Techniques, and Origin Energy cultivation.

"These are all just our guesses."

"According to Su Ha'er's last message," the Eastern Demon Deity said solemnly, "Sang Qiu has been captured and will likely be enslaved... This time, we've truly failed."

His heart was filled with despair. He didn't care about the fallen Flying Heaven Warriors or the three Demigods who had perished in battle... The loss of the Source Energy Array was significant, but he could still bear it.

The most crucial matter was Li Yuan.

"The Flying Sky Realm is so powerful. If he breaks through to the Demigod Realm, won't he become another Dongfang Ji? No! He might even surpass Dongfang Ji." The Eastern Demon Deity felt a headache just thinking about it.

"Damn it." The Eastern Demon Deity couldn't think of any way to kill Li Yuan.

There was not a shred of hope left.

"Eastern Demon, I have an idea, but I'm not sure if I should share it," the Northern Moon Deity suddenly said.

"Speak." The Eastern Demonity looked at him.

"Let's negotiate." The Northern Moon Deity sighed. "There's no hope left. Our Flying Heaven Warriors and Demigods are ten or even dozens of times less than the Seven Stars Civilization... But you know that cultivators gather great power within themselves."

"In the past, there was only Dongfang Ji."

"Now, Fang Hai and Li Yuan have grown stronger, and that Divine Serpent is also formidable. Our hope is becoming increasingly slim." The Northern Moon Deity shook his head. "Now, while they haven't reached their full power, there's still a chance for negotiation. If we continue like this, and a True God emerges among them, that will be a real big problem."

Obviously.

After witnessing Li Yuan and Liu Bing's strength, the Northern Moon Deity no longer felt any hope for victory.

"Negotiate?" The Eastern Demonity's eyes flickered.

If any of his Demigods suggested this, he might be enraged and execute them on the spot.

But this was the Northern Moon Deity's proposal, and he had to consider it carefully.

"Even if I'm willing to negotiate..."

"Do you think the Seven Stars Civilization will agree?" The Eastern Demonity asked slowly. "Even if they do, what conditions will they propose?"

"I'll handle the negotiations." The Northern Moonity said. "If the talks fail, we can continue the war later."

"Alright." The Eastern Demonity nodded.

Soon after, the Northern Moon Deity's divine shadow dissipated, leaving only the Eastern Demonity alone in the temple.

"Ah!"

The Eastern Demonity roared, and with a wave of his hand, a terrifying divine power surged towards the ground, causing the majestic Demon Palace to tremble slightly.

"Dongfang Ji!!" The Eastern Demonity's eyes turned cold, and he gritted his teeth.

"You've truly risen."

"In over a hundred years, you've truly led a weak civilization to rise." The Eastern Demonity clenched his teeth in frustration.

Back then, if it weren't for Dongfang Ji's rise, his army of Demigods would have long ago overwhelmed the Seven Stars Civilization and completely occupied it.

How could it have come to this?

Fang Hai's rise made him anxious.

Today's battle, Li Yuan's revealed strength, had extinguished the last glimmer of hope in his heart... That's why he agreed to the Northern Moon Deity's negotiation.

...

The Eastern Demonity was furious.

As time passed, the news of the great battle in Jiashanwan City spread, and the upper echelons of the Seven Stars Civilization were both shocked and delighted.

"Star Lord Li Yuan killed two Demigods?"

"So powerful!"

"The Divine Serpent has also captured a Demigod." The news quickly spread through Lantie Star's virtual network, reaching other planets.

The Seven Stars Civilization had been paying close attention to the Demigods and Flying Heaven Warriors in this battle, and they were all excited and amazed.

They knew Li Yuan was strong, but no one expected him to be this powerful.

It had only been two years since Li Yuan swept through the Second Tier Star Realm.

...

Azure Star, River City, Starfire East Lake Villa Bay Community.

"Ahua!"

"Ahua! Look at the news, big brother killed a Demigod! Two Demigods!" A cry of surprise echoed throughout the villa.

Boom! A figure flashed and disappeared, and a robust man rushed upstairs to his wife's side. He looked at the news broadcast projected in front of his wife.

"Star Realm Special Report: Great Victory on Lantie Star! Alliance Star Lord 'Li Yuan' in Jiashanwan City... In the end, he killed two Transcendent Alien Demigods. This battle will become a turning point in the war on Lantie Star..." The host was excitedly narrating.

This great victory news quickly spread and became the top headline on various planets, sparking heated discussions.

Transcending the Flying Sky Realm meant reaching the Demigod Realm.

Even Fang Hai's battle in the Ten Thousand Frost Star World hadn't been publicized like this... Many battles in the Star Realm didn't have such a significant impact.

"Big brother is so strong!" Li Yuan's younger brother exclaimed, his eyes filled with excitement.

After so many years, he had graduated from Kunlun Martial Hall and was now a 24th-level Origin Warrior.

"Big brother is incredible. Even legendary Demigods have fallen to big brother's hands." The woman next to him exclaimed, then shook her head and sighed. "But I haven't seen big brother yet."

"Don't worry.

"My brother will have the chance to meet you when he returns to Blue Star," Li Muhua said with a smile.

The woman beside him was his newlywed wife and also a classmate from Kunlun Martial University.

She had only recently become an Origin Warrior.

"Ahua," she called out.

"You never told me the truth until we got married. No wonder you had such abundant cultivation resources during university," the woman couldn't help but say. "Your brother is so powerful..."

During university, Li Muhua's true identity was beyond the understanding of ordinary institutions.

At that time, the woman only thought that Li Muhua's family had a top-level Origin Warrior as an elder.

Little did she know that Li Muhua's background was so extraordinary.

"My brother is my brother, and I am myself," Li Muhua said. "He will help us, and this is our opportunity... But whether we can become Flying Heaven Warriors depends on our own efforts."

The woman nodded slightly, having learned of Li Muhua's true identity a few months ago, and she was still a bit dazed by the revelation.

Now, she felt even more bewildered.

Even a Demigod had been killed, and this brother whom she had yet to meet was already considered the pinnacle existence in the entire Seven Stars Civilization.

For a moment, she felt a bit dizzy.

...

"My disciple is truly impressive," Li Yang, who was far away in the Ming Xu Star Realm, was also excited as he read the news.

...

Flying Star, God Warrior Star Realm.

"Didn't Li Yuan just break through?"

"He killed a Demigod just like that?"

"This! This is incredible!" Dantu Feng, Tian Daziang, Jin Huguo, and Alicia, a group of close friends, were truly shocked.

Before the Lantie Star crisis, they had guessed that Li Yuan had entered the Law Realm, but they still believed he was just an Origin Warrior... In the blink of an eye, a Demigod had fallen at Li Yuan's hands.

A Demigod!

The members of Seven Star Mountain were already the gathering place of top geniuses in the Seven Stars Civilization, but the vast majority of them couldn't become Demigods.

The rapid change in identity and strength left them in awe.

...

Flying Star, Starfire Martial Hall Headquarters.

"I know he's in the Flying Heaven Realm, and his strength surpasses mine from back then, and by a wide margin," said Fang Hai, his face filled with joy.

"I didn't expect it to be so soon."

"How long has it been? Li Yuan's strength has already reached this level?"

"Indeed, it's unbelievable," said a faint figure of Cloud Elder. "To unleash Demigod-level strength in the Flying Heaven Realm is already extremely rare. Like you back then, with a Law Perception at the Seventh Stage Intermediate, your strength only increased to the 42nd level, and you managed to kill those two Demigods in the Star Realm."

"This is almost the limit of strength in the Flying Heaven Realm."

"The Second Stage Eight-Star Pulse is indeed worthy of its reputation," Cloud Elder sighed.

As the 'Grand Steward' of the Seven Stars Civilization, Cloud Elder's insight far surpassed that of ordinary Demigods.

"According to the message Li Yuan sent me, he should have broken through in Law Perception, comparable to the Seventh Stage Intermediate," Fang Hai said. "Entering the Flying Heaven Realm, his Star Technique has transformed, and his Law Perception progress is indeed astonishing. He should be close to my level."

"In terms of Law Perception."

"Even my master might not surpass him," Fang Hai shook his head. "Li Yuan's strength will continue to improve. Before becoming a Demigod, he can truly rival the peak of Demigods with his Flying Heaven body."

The peak and limit of Demigods are usually at the 45th and 46th levels, with variations due to differences in weaponry and Law Perception.

The 47th level requires an Eight-Star Pulse, and it's also quite rare among Demigods. Most of them have the strength to reach the False Deity threshold and can be called 'Demigod Invincible.'

As for the 48th level, an Eight-Star Pulse is required, which is extremely rare even in the God Realm.

"There's hope to rival the peak of Demigods."

"However, his Origin Energy and Star Technique have already reached their limits. To further improve his strength, he needs to work hard to enhance his Gun Technique."

"Although he combines two Laws, reaching the Demigod limit in Law Perception, and even the False Deity threshold, will be difficult and require more time," Cloud Elder said.

"It's indeed challenging."

"Before I broke through to the Demigod realm, my Law Perception was at the Seventh Stage Intermediate level," Fang Hai shook his head.

A Law Perception at the Seventh Stage Intermediate level is at the Demigod peak level.

The Seventh Stage Advanced level is at the Demigod limit level.

If the Law Perception can reach the Seventh Stage Profound level, there's hope to ignite the Divine Flame and achieve the False Deity realm.

"With Li Yuan's strength, the Lantie Star conflict should be coming to an end," Fang Hai said. "If the Demon Realm Civilization chose to kill him, they must have deployed their strongest power, and it's highly unlikely there are other Demigods."

Cloud Elder nodded.

"With Li Yuan's strength revealed, there's no need to continue his secluded cultivation," Cloud Elder said with a smile. "There's no need to stay low-key anymore."

"What do you mean?" Fang Hai wondered.

"Let him return to Blue Star. With such strength, he should come into contact with some of the highest secrets of the civilization," Cloud Elder said. "The master's return is unknown, and you two will have to shoulder the heavy responsibilities."

"According to the master's instructions, wait for a while longer."

"It's about time to send Li Yuan to the Nine-Leaf Trial," Cloud Elder said. "With his strength, passing the trial won't be difficult... With him here, the entire Seven Stars Civilization will remain as stable as Mount Tai."

"Good."

"After the Lantie Star conflict ends, I'll sign the transfer order," Fang Hai nodded.

...

Lantie Star, Jian Shan Bay City.

Li Yuan continued to control the Mind Soul, and after about eight hours, Sang Qiu, the Demigod, opened her eyes again.

She looked at the black-clad figure standing not far away, her eyes filled with reverence.

"Master," Sang Qiu, the Demigod, said respectfully.

"Good," Li Yuan opened his eyes, a hint of fatigue in his eyes. He could clearly sense the invisible soul connection between himself and Sang Qiu, the Demigod.

This was his third soul servant.

And the first Demigod-level servant.

"Tell me everything you know about the Demon Realm Civilization, especially regarding Lantie Star," Li Yuan said.
