Chapter 171

Rumble~

Riding a low-altitude aircraft, Li Yuan quickly left 100 kilometers away from the war fortress, crossing mountain ranges and rivers one after another.

Within a hundred kilometers of the war fortress, there are still traces of human activity.

Beyond a hundred kilometers, the roads gradually disappeared, the trees gradually became taller, the mountain ranges rolled and undulated, and gradually turned into the appearance of a primitive forest.

"Martial Artist Xu An, we can only send you here." The pilot laughed: "If you go further to the periphery, you may encounter flying alien races."

"Hmm, good." Li Yuan nodded and smiled: "Sorry for the trouble."

In the Mingxu Star Realm, the local alien races that can cultivate and absorb source power are mainly beasts, but there are also a few humanoids, and each race is strange and varied... It is precisely because of this that they slaughter each other fiercely, so they won't deal with human civilization.

Tier-Two alien races mostly have intelligence comparable to humans.

In the eyes of most local alien races, the hundreds of kilometers around the human civilization outpost base is the territory occupied by another special race.

Therefore, unless they want to start a war, other Tier-Two alien races will not easily invade the 'one hundred kilometer' range of the outpost base.

As for Tier-One alien races?

They don't have that much intelligence, but over the decades, batch after batch have been killed and cleared, so they also know that a very powerful force is entrenched in this area and must not be provoked.

"Whoosh!"

Li Yuan held a long spear, carried a battle saber on his back, wore a large bag, and was dressed in a full set of battle clothes and armor, flying down from a height of tens of meters to the ground.

The jungle was not too lush.

Watching the aircraft leave quickly.

"Next, I have to rely on walking." Li Yuan muttered to himself: "According to previous experience, if I want to improve my spiritual awakening level as soon as possible."

"Then, the stronger the alien race I kill, the more spiritual nourishment I obtain."

"Let's leave 300 kilometers away from the war base as soon as possible."

Within 100 kilometers of the base, alien races are almost extinct; within 300 kilometers of the base, they are slaughtered and cleared over and over again by martial artist squads, and there are very few entry-rank alien races.

Surrounded by two suns, the earth does not appear scorching.

"200 kilometers, I should be able to reach it within 3 hours." Li Yuan's figure moved tens of meters at a time.

A cliff over ten meters high? A river over ten meters wide, he crossed them with a light leap.

Maintaining a travel speed of twenty or thirty meters per second is just a stroll for Li Yuan now.

"Heaven and Man as One."

While traveling, Li Yuan was also pondering and comprehending the mysteries of Heaven and Man as One.

Comprehending the heaven, earth, and nature.

Practicing spear, standing, sitting, lying down, walking... all can be used to comprehend.

After traveling more than ten kilometers.

Suddenly, in a pile of dilapidated withered grass, several phantoms flashed by, the air exploded with a bang, and they rushed toward Li Yuan, who was moving forward, with a whistle.

"Whoosh!"

These phantoms were fast, but Li Yuan's long spear was faster, just one spear stroke across the long sky.

"Puff! Puff! Puff!" Blood dripped and splashed, and the bodies of six snake-shaped alien races were torn apart and fell to the ground.

"Feather Snake Clan?" Li Yuan glanced at them.

These six alien races looked similar to the Blood-Winged Snake Clan in appearance, but their wings were smaller and shorter, and could only be used to assist in gliding.

"Their life layer isn't even level ten, how dare they attack me?" Li Yuan shook his head.

He couldn't even be bothered to cut the items on them; it was meaningless.

The road in the Mingxu Star Realm was harder to walk than Li Yuan imagined. Those high mountains looked like they were only one or two kilometers away in a straight line, but it took a lot of time to climb over them.

Some canyons and big rivers were also difficult to cross.

However, with Li Yuan's strength, after spending nearly four hours, he still walked out of the activity range of human civilization and truly entered the savage area.

And this journey also made Li Yuan understand the true meaning of 'High Source Environment'.

On this 200-kilometer road, more than 100 alien races had already died at Li Yuan's hands.

Most of them were not entry-rank.

Most of them took the initiative to ambush Li Yuan.

"Source power is rich, these Star Realm creatures don't need to eat too much, they can be affected by source power, and their growth and reproduction are extremely rapid." Li Yuan sighed inwardly.

He had read a lot of data.

Compared with many Star Realm life forms, human growth speed and reproduction are much worse.

The biggest advantage of human martial artists is comprehension.

"Star Realm creatures might be entry-rank when they reach adulthood, but often tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of them find it hard to give birth to a Tier-Two expert." Li Yuan secretly thought: "Human martial artists usually can give birth to a Tier-Two expert for every few hundred Tier-One martial artists."

Humans don't have powerful bloodline support, but their overall comprehension is unbelievably strong.

At least.

Among the many alien civilizations that human civilization has come into contact with, there are almost none that can surpass humans in terms of comprehension.

Walking in the wilderness.

"Hmm?" Li Yuan's eyes narrowed, and he stopped abruptly. His powerful spiritual sense, combined with his body, had vaguely sensed a large group of powerful alien life forms gathering hundreds of meters away.

"Finally."

"Ran into some interesting opponents." Li Yuan showed a smile.

Boom!

His figure darted out, the rock under Li Yuan's feet shattered with a bang, and he stepped hard on a big tree next to him. While borrowing force to jump, the big tree collapsed with a bang.

Battle! Erupt!

"Roar!" "Howl!" "Howl!" A large group of jackal-like alien races roared and turned into streams of light, rushing toward Li Yuan.

They were all entry-rank life forms.

As the hegemon tribe in this area, facing Li Yuan, this provocative alien life form, they naturally wouldn't retreat.

"Kill!"

Li Yuan waved the long spear in his hand, the spear shadow changed, like a star rolling, vast and mighty, with astonishing momentum.

Puff! Puff! Puff! Blood splashed, and alien races fell to the ground one after another. Their bodies followed the inertia, or hit the giant rocks.

Or rushed to the ground, or hit the big trees.

"No."

"The strength of these alien races is still too weak, most of them are only level 12, level 13, and even level 14 ones are few." Li Yuan shook his head slightly: "I don't use source power, and I easily crush them."

"No tempering effect at all."

Whoosh!

Li Yuan's figure changed immediately, instantly suppressing his strength and speed to the level 11 standard.

Immediately.

Li Yuan felt the pressure, as if those alien races could attack him at any time.

"The spear is like a rolling star." Li Yuan was completely immersed in the spear technique, fighting with these alien races.

For Li Yuan, coming to the Star Realm to roam, improving his spiritual awakening level is one aspect.

The most important thing.

Is to engage in life-and-death battles with a large number of alien races, temper his mind and exercise his courage in life and death... and comprehend the mysteries of heaven, earth, and nature in the wilderness.

Eventually.

When Li Yuan killed more than sixty jackal-shaped alien races, the other dozens of alien races finally couldn't hold on and fled one after another with roars.

Li Yuan didn't deliberately chase and kill them.

"Killed so many."

"The spiritual awakening level didn't even rise by 0.1%?" Li Yuan scanned the Divine Palace panel and muttered to himself: "Or is it that the strength of these alien races is too weak to obtain spiritual nourishment from them?"

After a little calculation, Li Yuan understood that wanting to raise the spiritual awakening level from 25.4% to 30% is destined to be a long and arduous process.

He didn't cut the corpses of these alien races.

Just uploading the battle video from just now, Li Yuan continued to move forward.

The so-called 'cutting proof materials' is a matter for after leaving the war fortress 1,000 kilometers away.

Before that, as long as Li Yuan doesn't care, he can choose to upload battle videos.

Reduce the burden.

"Slow! Too slow, faster." Li Yuan roared angrily, fighting fiercely with a large number of winged humanoid life forms in front of him.

These humanoid life forms, their limbs are extremely strong, as sharp as weapons.

Facing the long spear in Li Yuan's hand.

These humanoid life forms fell one by one, and blood sprinkled the earth.

"【You have continuously killed entry-rank life forms, obtained spiritual nourishment, and the spiritual awakening level has reached 25.8%】" A Divine Palace prompt flashed by.

Time passed, and days went by.

Li Yuan had been roaming in the wilderness.

He gradually adapted to this environment.

Hungry? Eat some beast flesh, then practice "Heavens and Myriad Stars", and nourish the body with source power, basically no need to eat too much.

Thirsty, drink mountain spring water directly.

Tired? Then practice "Sutra of Observing the Great Sun and Starry Sky", which can not only strengthen spiritual sense but also eliminate fatigue.

Li Yuan doesn't need to return to fixed observation points or garrison points to rest.

The rest of the time.

Li Yuan is either fighting with alien life forms or on the way to find alien life forms.

Or occasionally having insights into heaven and earth, he will also stop to practice spear silently, and then continue to travel and fight.

Such cultivation efficiency is astonishing.

Accompanied by killing more and more powerful alien life forms, and even many level 17, level 18 alien life forms.

Li Yuan's spiritual awakening level, even if the improvement is difficult, is also constantly soaring by relying on killing a massive amount of alien races.

Quantitative change leads to qualitative change, from the initial 25.4%, gradually breaking through to 26%, 26.5%...

Li Yuan's spear technique realm and physical fitness are constantly improving, as if there are no bottlenecks at all.

Mingxu Star Realm, No. 3 outpost base, inside the nine-story chief officer's office.

"Chief."

"In these ten days, except for the martial artist who died in battle, most of the other martial artist squads registered at the base and roaming outside have records of entering observation points to rest." A thin and tall martial artist officer said solemnly: "But Xu An doesn't have this record. In these ten days, he seems to have evaporated into thin air."

"No record of him? He didn't return to the observation point?" Senior Liu Jing asked.

"No record." The thin and tall martial artist officer said: "We can only confirm that he is constantly moving through the smart ring positioning, and he should still be alive."

"Fine, I know, go down." Senior Liu Jing said, without making any instructions.

Waiting until only he was left in the room.

"Beep~"

Senior Liu Jing clicked on the projection, and videos appeared one after another, all showing scenes of Li Yuan's first-person perspective fighting fiercely with a large number of alien races.

All uploaded to Senior Liu Jing here.

"Really crazy."

"Ten days, the number of kills is more than a normal squad." Senior Liu Jing felt quite emotional in his heart: "Combining the information records, is it really sleepless and tireless?"

"Hmm, enough to give a full score for life-and-death roaming."

For a teenager who just turned eighteen, Senior Liu Jing felt there was no need to be too harsh.

Too much is as bad as too little.

January 13, 2044.

On the top of an inconspicuous mountain peak about 600 kilometers away from the No. 3 outpost base.

On a giant rock.

Li Yuan was standing there, holding the long spear in his hand tightly, the spear tip pointing forward, as if sensing something.

Gradually.

Li Yuan's whole person didn't seem so abrupt anymore, but instead vaguely blended into the surrounding scene. This is a very mysterious scene.

"Whoosh!" The long spear danced and stabbed forward, as fast as lightning across a circle, but retracted in an instant.

Li Yuan slowly opened his eyes, his peripheral vision couldn't help but glance at the Divine Palace panel:

【Life Layer: 16.8 (Tier-One)】

Fist Strength: 24,400 kg

Speed: 70.2 m/s

Spiritual Sense: Level 26.9

Willpower: Level 30

Spiritual Awakening Level: 28.9% (Current limit 30%)

Star Pulse: Level 10

Skill Realm: Spear Technique (Fifth Stage 5%), Movement Technique (Fifth Stage 6%), Fist Technique (Perfect)

"I think I'm improving fast enough."

"But the improvement of fifth-stage spear technique is still a lot slower than when it was fourth-stage." Li Yuan secretly thought: "Spiritual awakening level, still 1.1% short, continue to work hard."

Whoosh!

Li Yuan leaped lightly, like an ape, and quickly rushed down the mountain to look for other alien life forms.

A moment later.

Li Yuan's spiritual sense was released, sensing in all directions, and he stopped abruptly, turning his head to look at the mountain forest not far away.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

I saw three human figures wearing light purple robes in the mountain forest in the distance, each holding weapons, jumping over at high speed.

"Human martial artist?" Doubt flashed in Li Yuan's heart: "Something is wrong, why didn't the smart ring remind me that a martial artist is approaching?"
