Chapter 398: Abyss Kingdom! Star Perception Continent

Chapter 398: Abyss Kingdom! Star Perception Continent

"Hmm? An energy fluctuation? It seems to be moving quite fast?" Li Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly. "It's quite far, so I can't sense it very clearly."

Arriving in this mysterious world, his divine sense was suppressed and couldn't probe very far.

If he encountered a formidable enemy, relying solely on his divine sense would only allow him to detect it half a second in advance.

Using his eyes? They would be obstructed by various things. Just from the enormous trees in the canyon, Li Yuan could tell that this world was far from simple.

But what Li Yuan was best at now was the Spatial Mystery! Among the seven fundamental laws, each had its own strengths. For instance, the Water Law was best at defense, the Wood Law had the strongest vitality, and the Wind Law was the fastest... but the Spatial Law, as the origin of all laws, was comprehensively powerful.

In terms of sensing and probing, it far surpassed other law paths.

It's worth noting that Li Yuan's understanding of the Spatial Mystery was equivalent to the 'Seventh Stage Intermediate' level of the other fundamental laws.

"Rumble~"

In just a few seconds, Li Yuan felt the fluctuations getting closer, and the canyon ground was trembling faintly... It seemed a group of rampaging creatures was stampeding through the canyon.

Li Yuan looked up at the mountains on both sides of the canyon.

"Li Yuan, don't fly up," Gu You's voice sounded in Li Yuan's mind. "Don't worry, I just activated the perception function of the Ancient Deity Palace. Those coming are all of the Flying Heaven Rank, so they shouldn't pose a threat to you... This seems to be a terrifying secret realm. There should be extremely powerful Source Power Arrays hidden at high altitudes in the mountains and even in the sky."

"Once you fly to the high points of the mountains, you might encounter attacks from the Source Power Arrays. Be cautious."

"Understood," Li Yuan's heart tightened, and he couldn't help but feel relieved.

He couldn't control the Ancient Deity Palace, but Gu You could.

As a 'Heritage True Artifact' left by the Gu Ju Deity, the Ancient Deity Palace had many wondrous uses.

Moreover, without needing Gu You to remind him, Li Yuan had already noticed many special aspects of this world.

"The trees and rocks seem to be more durable than those on the Blue Planet," Li Yuan manipulated the forces of the world, sensing the surrounding materials and discovered their uniqueness.

They were extremely resilient, far surpassing those on the Blue Planet.

Moreover, the gravity of the ground seemed much stronger than on the Blue Planet... On the Blue Planet, a Source Warrior could jump over a hundred meters with a single leap, but here, Li Yuan estimated that even a top-tier Source Warrior could barely jump ten meters.

"In such an environment, trees can grow over a thousand meters tall. If they were on the Blue Planet, they would likely be protected and studied," Li Yuan thought. "Living in such astonishing gravity, all life forms would become much more robust."

Organisms must adapt to their environment to survive.

"But this restraint should have little impact on top-tier experts," Li Yuan thought. "Flying Heaven Rank experts will still be affected, and their flying speed will be much slower... but Demi-Gods will be less affected."

As Li Yuan was contemplating this, a loud rumble echoed.

Rumble! Boom! Boom!

The ground shook violently, many trees toppled, and large rocks flew. Dozens of figures appeared in Li Yuan's field of vision.

Leading the way were over a dozen human figures, most wearing war armor, though the colors varied widely.

They mostly held weapons, like warriors, but at this moment, most of these warriors looked pale and were in a state of panic.

"Run quickly."

"Run!"

"Such bad luck, how did we encounter so many peak Flying Heaven Rank ferocious beasts?"

"Are we really going to die in the 'Abyss Demon Blood Cavern'? We haven't even hunted a single beast yet; it's so unfair." These warriors fled in a panic, communicating with each other using source energy, fearing they would be too slow to escape.

It wasn't their fault.

Originally, over a hundred people gathered, thinking it would be safer, but with so many people, the commotion was too great, attracting a large number of magical beasts. In an instant, most were killed, and the rest were being hunted.

"Roar!" "Howl!!" Behind the dozen human figures, there were even more terrifying ferocious beasts, their power generally stronger. They had various forms, some like tigers or leopards, some like flying snakes, and some were monstrous with human faces.

The common mark of these beasts was their eyes, glowing with a blood-red hue, showing their extreme ferocity.

"Pfff!"

"Pfff!" Two human figures who lagged behind were instantly caught by a ferocious beast's blood-filled mawth, their bodies torn apart.

Blood splattered everywhere, the scent of blood further inciting the ferocity of the beasts, making them even more frenzied.

"You guys, look ahead, there's someone."

"Seams also a Flying Heaven Rank."

"Stupidly standing there, not even running away, just watching us."

"Seeking death!" These human warriors thought the black-armored youth was very foolish.

Standing there foolishly in the Abyss Demon Blood Cavern, watching in the face of so many ferocious beasts and not even running away.

But these human warriors didn't have the leisure to care, they were all fleeing madly.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

They quickly rushed to Li Yuan's area, and the ferocious beasts behind them were getting closer and closer.

"Rip! Roar!" One of the beasts, resembling a lizard, its tail moved, its four hooves stomped on a huge rock, its over thirty-meter-long body turned into a streak of light, and it dashed in front of Li Yuan, opening its mawth to bite down.

"That foolish youth is doomed."

"Such a fool!" These human warriors had many thoughts upon seeing this scene.

The next moment, however, left these human warriors stunned.

"Hum~"

Li Yuan's eyes turned dark, an invisible soul wave swept over the several kilometers of the canyon's bottom.

In an instant!

Those ferocious beasts' faces showed a trace of fear, followed by their eyes dimming.

Rumble~! "Boom!" Over thirty ferocious beasts' bodies instantly became powerless, falling from the air.

Their huge bodies, following inertia, either toppled large areas of trees or crashed into the ground, causing the earth to tremble and raising a sea of rocks.

Ultimately, they all became motionless.

"These beasts, their life levels aren't low, but their wisdom seems very weak, so easily they were soul-annihilated by me?" Li Yuan's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise.

Facing this large group of beasts, Li Yuan directly used the soul secret technique 'Heart Scorching Blade.'

It's worth noting that when Li Yuan's soul cultivation was at level 45, he could soul-annihilate mid-stage Flying Heaven Rank warriors.

(Chapter End)

Now, Li Yuan's soul will had reached Level 49, and his Law Perception had advanced even further, allowing him to delve deeper into his soul research. As a result, the power of his Heart Scorching Blade was far more formidable than before.

Normally, Li Yuan could easily annihilate Flying Heaven Peak-level beings with his soul attack.

However, it was too easy; with a single attack, he had annihilated nearly ten Flying Heaven Peak-level ferocious beasts and over twenty mid-stage Flying Heaven-level beasts.

Instantly, Li Yuan deduced that these beasts seemed unusual, as if they weren't regular cultivators, and their resistance to soul attacks was significantly weaker.

"In this place, so many Flying Heaven Peak-level beings just appeared out of nowhere? These human warriors are also Flying Heaven-level, and even in the Divine Realm, the number of powerful beings on a normal planet wouldn't be this high." Li Yuan was perplexed.

According to his knowledge, even in the Divine Realm, under normal circumstances, there would only be dozens to hundreds of Demi-Gods on a single Life Planet.

While there were many Flying Heaven-level beings, they shouldn't be this rampant.

Where was this place?

At this thought, Li Yuan's gaze shifted to over a dozen human silhouettes not far away. Their eyes were filled with bewilderment.

Because!

In the moment he annihilated the ferocious beasts with his soul attack, Li Yuan had already used Mind Control to temporarily control these human warriors.

These human warriors were generally mid-stage Flying Heaven-level, mostly at Levels 33 and 34.

The weaker ones had already been killed by the group of ferocious beasts.

With Li Yuan's strength, he could easily trap them in layers of illusions for a short time.

Huff! Li Yuan moved, arriving before one of the burly figures. This man was only Level 32, the weakest among the group.

He was trapped in Li Yuan's Mind Control and couldn't snap out of it.

"Tell me," Li Yuan's soul inquired. "Where is this place, and where are you from? Who is the strongest person you know, and what is the most powerful force?"

Soul communication allowed them to perceive each other's spiritual fluctuations without the need for language.

"This place is the Abyss Demon Blood Cavern, and I'm from the Tang County of the Abyss Kingdom," the burly man said, his eyes filled with bewilderment. As he communicated through his soul, he also muttered, "The Star Perception Continent is vast, and it's said that there are countless Life Planets outside the stars, with numerous powerful beings. But according to the legends, the ruler of my Abyss Kingdom is one of the continent's peak powers, having ruled for over ten thousand years. I don't know which country is the strongest..."

Upon hearing the burly man's words, Li Yuan's expression changed slightly. "The Divine Realm Common Tongue?"

The man was speaking the Divine Realm Common Tongue, which was surprising.

It was known that both Gu Yu and Master Chu Bing had provided information that included the Divine Realm Common Tongue. With his abilities, Li Yuan could learn it in a very short time, and he had already done so, even if he didn't speak it perfectly.

But there was no doubt that he understood it.

"Could it be that I've arrived in the Divine Realm?" Li Yuan wondered.

"Don't jump to conclusions, Li Yuan," Gu Yu's voice echoed in Li Yuan's mind. "The world is vast, and many powerful civilizations in the mortal realm also use the Divine Realm Common Tongue. Some super-powerful beings create their own worlds, and the lifeforms living in those worlds also use the Divine Realm Common Tongue, but that doesn't necessarily mean they've come to the Divine Realm."

"Continue asking!"

"If you were transported to this so-called 'Star Perception Continent,' then this continent must hold secrets." Gu Yu said, "When you arrive in an unfamiliar world, the first thing to do is understand it, and only then can you uncover deeper secrets."

"Mmm."

...

Time passed, and Li Yuan used Soul Secret Techniques to simultaneously question the dozen or so human warriors.

Soul communication was incredibly fast.

Half an hour later, Li Yuan had learned a lot about this world from these warriors, and he also obtained books, information crystals, and other items from their Storage Artifacts.

"That's enough," Li Yuan said, a hint of fatigue flashing in his eyes.

Controlling so many Flying Heaven-level beings for an extended period had consumed a significant amount of his soul power.

"To leave the Abyss Demon Blood Cavern, I must obtain the heads of three ferocious beasts as proof," Li Yuan thought, his gaze as sharp as a sword.

Huff! Huff! Huff! In an instant, the bodies of all the ferocious beasts were torn apart, as if slashed by a sharp weapon. This was to conceal the evidence of soul annihilation.

Immediately, three of the beasts' heads flew up, and Li Yuan collected them into his Storage Artifact.

"In exchange for all the information you've given me, I'll grant you an opportunity," Li Yuan said to the group of warriors.

With everything prepared, Li Yuan moved, and his speed instantly soared beyond eight kilometers per second, disappearing at the canyon's end.

Seconds later...

"What happened?"

"What just happened to us?"

"I feel like I just had a very long dream."

"It seems someone asked me many questions, but I can't remember the specifics." One by one, the dozen or so warriors regained consciousness. Soon, they were startled by the sight of the lifeless bodies of the ferocious beasts several kilometers away.

These people were at least Flying Heaven-level and not entirely foolish.

They quickly analyzed the situation.

"A master!"

"We must have been saved by some super-powerful master!"

"Could it have been that foolish young man from earlier? I think so. I was wrong; he's not a fool but a super-powerful master."

"He killed these ferocious beasts directly? How cruel!" The Flying Heaven-level warriors were filled with awe.

So formidable!

Immediately, the group of humans rushed towards the beasts' heads like madmen.

"Quick!"

"They're all ours!" The dozen or so warriors fought over the heads, which represented wealth to them.

Even those who had just been fleeing for their lives began fighting each other.

...

Li Yuan rushed through the canyon, which had numerous forks, covering several hundred kilometers in one breath before stopping at a large rock on a hillside. He sat down.

"Sister Gu Yu!"

"You must have heard," Li Yuan said, his eyes gleaming as he spoke in a low voice. "The Star City!"

"The strongest among us, a Level 35 warrior, said he'd heard that in the starry sky beyond the stars, there's a Star City that surpasses the Three Thousand Divine Kingdoms as the most powerful force."

"Could it be that we've truly arrived in the Divine Realm?"
