Chapter 246: Strength Transformation! The Fourth Star Pulse! (Bonus 35)

"Where is Li Yuan going?"

"Didn't he kill all the enemies?"

"I'm not sure." Si Feng, Xiong Ze, and Bai Ya all gathered around, watching Li Yuan fly off into the distance, filled with curiosity and confusion.

"Don't ask."

Alicia said in a low voice, "You all saw Li Yuan's strength just now; it is far above ours... even the demigod-level genius of the Xianxu Civilization died at his hands."

"And he was defeated without any suspense."

"Since he left suddenly, there must be a reason. Why bother asking?" Alicia's gaze swept over the others. "The overall situation is settled; we should just do our own jobs."

"Understood."

"Mm, let's clean up the battlefield as soon as possible." Si Feng, Keros, and the others couldn't help but nod.

After the continuous battles, apart from the deceased Bai Xie, the remaining people had implicitly divided into strong and weak.

Status is determined by strength.

Li Yuan was naturally the undisputed number one, so when he gave an order, everyone would obey.

The victories brought about by powerful strength naturally command conviction.

The one whose strength was second only to Li Yuan was Alicia.

"After cleaning up the battlefield, we will each lead a portion of the people to continue sweeping and exploring the entire inner world," Alicia said. "Does anyone have any objections?"

"No objections."

"Let's start the sweep," Xiong Ze and Keros both said.

"What about the Divine Palace ruins?" Si Feng raised a question.

He pointed to the continuous palace complex in the distance, faintly shrouded in mysterious radiance, and the others couldn't help but look at Alicia.

"No need to rush."

"The mission is for us to protect Lin Lanyue, but she is inside the Divine Palace ruins... we have no way to save her even if we wanted to. Rushing in blindly would only trap ourselves," Alicia pondered. "We have basically swept away the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom's team now. Even their demigod-level genius is dead; they should find it very difficult to fight again."

"So, as long as Lin Lanyue can come out alive, she won't encounter an ambush by the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom like before."

The crowd couldn't help but nod.

Save Lin Lanyue? In reality, once it is confirmed that Lin Lanyue is truly in the Divine Palace ruins, others, including Li Yuan, would find it very difficult to help her.

This point is clear to both the Alliance high command and the Lieyan Family high command.

The so-called rescue actually refers to protecting her from being killed by Gu Yue Divine Kingdom experts if she comes out of the ruins alive.

But whether she can come back alive? That depends on herself.

"Additionally."

"This Divine Palace ruin contains great secrets. I know you all have ideas," Alicia's gaze swept over everyone. "The opportunities contained in the Divine Ruins are indeed hard to fathom... everyone wants them."

"But we have been in the inner world for less than two days, the situation is not yet stable, and the ruins contain many dangers... My personal suggestion is to wait for Li Yuan to return and confirm that there are no Gu Yue Divine Kingdom experts in the inner world before discussing how to explore it," Alicia said.

"Mm, that makes sense."

"No need to rush. According to the Lieyan Family's intelligence, we should be able to stay in the inner world for a year... only two days have passed." The others nodded in agreement.

Immediately, the several Source Martial genius scattered.

They began to get busy.

"Alicia, do we really have to wait for Li Yuan to return? We are fully capable of exploring the ruins first," a childish voice rang out in Alicia's mind. "The Five Elements Divine Crystals in the mine don't have a share for you; Li Yuan hasn't revealed a single bit of information to this day."

"If Li Yuan takes all the inheritance in these ruins, we will have worked for nothing."

"Are you certain?" Alicia responded.

"I am certain!!" The childish voice's volume increased by three points, tinged with a hint of excitement. "I sensed it clearly just now... what killed that demigod-level genius 'Mohu' was World Force, which means the origin of the entire inner world is still operating."

"It means the rules set by that deity still exist."

"And judging from the many rules of the inner world... this place was very likely a place where that deity cultivated juniors in the past, and there should be an inheritance left behind," the childish voice said decisively. "I am 99% certain."

"I'm not asking if there is an inheritance. Anyone can guess that the Divine Palace ruins have benefits. To say nothing else, the Lieyan Family's first ancestor, 'Demigod Demigod Yan Cheng', was able to rise, which must be related to this inner world," Alicia frowned and responded. "I am asking, do you have absolute certainty of obtaining the inheritance?"

The childish voice went silent instantly.

Absolute certainty of obtaining the inheritance? He didn't have a damn bit of certainty.

It was just that in his view, since they were going to compete, they should strive to be one step ahead and seize the initiative.

"Then what is your plan?" the childish voice asked.

"No rush," Alicia shook her head. "Since generations of Lieyan Family disciples have been able to continuously break in and obtain benefits... it should be fine for us to break in later."

……

Swoosh!

With full power unleashed, Li Yuan sprinted all the way, and in just a few minutes, he had sprinted over thirty kilometers in one breath.

Confirming that he had completely shaken off Alicia, Si Feng, and the others, and that no one had followed,

Li Yuan returned directly to the edge of the canyon at the core of the mine.

But he did not alert Tong Guan and the others.

Instead, he found the end of one side of the canyon and drilled straight in.

He stopped at an inconspicuous cliff recess where basically no one could discover him, and only then did he sit down cross-legged.

"Let's begin." Li Yuan focused his mind and calmed his spirit. With a thought, he completely released the suppression on his Sea of Source Force and the three star pulses.

Hum~

At this moment, Li Yuan's powerful spiritual sense could clearly sense that in his Heart Divine Palace... golden mist was constantly pouring down from the second floor, and this golden mist flew down onto the ground of the first floor of the Heart Divine Palace.

After merging into the ground.

Sizzle~ Sizzle~ Li Yuan clearly sensed that strands of strange power were constantly permeating every part of his body from his head. These strange powers were the key to Li Yuan's body quality and spiritual sense transforming every time.

"In all likelihood, the spiritual nourishment I accumulate every time I kill an alien lifeform is these strange powers," this thought flashed through Li Yuan's mind.

Treasures that can rapidly and gently allow the body and spiritual sense to grow synchronously are extremely rare and scarce.

It involves the evolution of life.

Source Force entering the body... to Li Yuan's feeling, in terms of body quality improvement alone, it is no less than many rare treasures.

Moreover, most rare treasures can only be taken once, and the more times they are taken, the less effective they become.

But the efficacy of Source Force entering the body is, on the contrary, more exaggerated each time.

"The fourth time Source Force enters the body, I don't know how much efficacy it will have," Li Yuan felt a hint of anticipation in his heart. "I wonder if I can break through to Level 25."

If he could improve from Level 23.7 to Level 25, his base fist strength would increase by more than 60,000 kilograms.

"Rumble~" Li Yuan's three star pulses operated simultaneously, and surging, pure Source Force flowed to every part of his body's tendons, bones, blood, and flesh.

The next moment.

After merging into the strange energy transformed from the golden mist, the countless cells and flesh in Li Yuan's body, which were already 'full', seemed to have broken through some kind of shackles and chains in the dark, and suddenly became extremely 'hungry', starting to crazily absorb the Source Force.

Rumble~

Li Yuan only felt his whole body start to tremble crazily; his flesh, skin, hair, bones, periosteum, and internal organs... all started to transform constantly.

This is an all-around evolutionary improvement.

"However, it's not as comfortable as the Wan Shengyan Fruit," Li Yuan thought to himself. "The transformation and improvement of the Wan Shengyan Fruit is very comfortable."

But Source Force entering the body is extremely domineering, causing the tendons, bones, and flesh to reorganize. In reality, it is quite painful, but Li Yuan's spiritual sense and willpower are strong, so he can easily endure it.

"【Your life layer has improved from Level 23.7 to Level 23.8】"

"【Your strength has improved from...】" Time passed, Li Yuan's life layer improved constantly, and prompts flashed across the Divine Palace panel.

……"Spiritual sense." Most of Li Yuan's consciousness was placed on the Heart Divine Palace, and his conscious body arrived at the second floor of the Heart Divine Palace.

Swish~

On the second floor of the Heart Divine Palace, Li Yuan's conscious body 'watched' the golden mist constantly being born in the void of the palace.

"Last time Source Force entered the body, I guessed that some kind of essence of them transformed into spiritual nourishment; otherwise, it cannot explain why the efficacy of Source Force entering the body is getting stronger and stronger," Li Yuan thought to himself. "It's a pity that it's just a guess after all, and it hasn't been verified yet."

But Li Yuan believes that as he becomes stronger and stronger, he will eventually figure out all the secrets.

"Continue to improve spiritual sense." Li Yuan's conscious body had a thought, and immediately, a portion was separated from the massive amount of golden mist born in the void of the palace.

It directly merged into Li Yuan's conscious body.

Rumble~ These strands of golden mist seemed to have invisible magic, making Li Yuan's consciousness become drowsy. In an instant, his conscious body swayed and found itself in the Life Star space, which already had hazy radiance.

Three faint star belts, one quite bright and the other two extremely dim, shone in the endless night sky... these were exactly the three star pulses Li Yuan had already awakened.

Their existence added much vitality to the originally dark Life Star space.

Swish~

Strands of strange starlight transformed from the golden mist 'shone' over from the depths of the Life Star space, starting to nourish Li Yuan's heart and consciousness.

After a long time.

"【Your soul has been nourished, and your spiritual sense has improved from Level 31.8 to Level 31.9】" Apparently, after spiritual sense reaches the Flying Heaven level, every point of progress is extremely difficult.

But overall.

Li Yuan's body quality and spiritual sense growth speed are already extremely terrifying, absolutely top-tier among countless geniuses of many civilizations.

"Life Star space."

"Awaken Life Star." Li Yuan felt the constant transformation of his spiritual sense and body quality. Thinking that he hadn't awakened a Life Star for several days, he had a thought and immediately calmed his heart, attempting to imprint more 'Life Stars'.

The path of creating techniques must continue.

He cannot just rely on spiritual guidance.

After all, the current spiritual awakening degree has only reached 40%, and it is still a long way from the 50% required for the next spiritual guidance... I don't know when the upper limit can be unlocked.

"Mm?"

Li Yuan's conscious body dispersed slightly, and he sensed the changes in countless 'Life Stars' in the Life Star space.

"Over these past few days, the transformation of my body quality seems to be nourishing the Life Stars as well, making countless Life Stars become even stronger," Li Yuan felt joy in his heart. "With stronger Life Stars, it will be easier for my spiritual sense to sense them."

At this moment, Li Yuan already understood why many classics mention that many top Source Martial can awaken four or five star pulses.

It's the foundation!

"With strong spiritual sense, sensing the body and the fluctuations of heaven and earth is clearer. A Flying Heaven level soul is destined to be able to reach the Fifth-Stage skill," Li Yuan thought to himself. "Similarly, improving body quality is also the foundation for Life Star awakening."

"The stronger the body, the stronger the Life Stars, and the clearer the sensing... the hope of awakening Life Stars naturally rises greatly."

Hum~ Hum~

Li Yuan accepted Source Force entering his body while sensing the Life Stars with his spiritual consciousness, searching for the traces of Life Stars.

For a time, his efficiency in awakening Life Stars was more than ten times what it was in the past.

……

In the blink of an eye, nearly two hours later, Li Yuan's fourth time of Source Force entering his body had not yet ended.

Suddenly.

Hum~ Hum~ Almost simultaneously, two invisible fluctuations erupted with Li Yuan as the core, and his body trembled faintly.

Swish~ Visible to the naked eye, on Li Yuan's body surface, nearly ten thousand light spots faintly appeared, gathering like silk threads and penetrating to the Sea of Source Force in his abdomen... another star pulse awakened.

"The fourth star pulse, awakened successfully?" Li Yuan thought to himself, feeling quite joyful in his heart. "Moreover, the second star pulse has actually successfully transformed from a first-layer star pulse to a second-layer star pulse."

These were all breakthroughs in a very short time.

The number of star pulses is important, but quality is equally important.

"Foundation!"

"Mm, body quality is already Level 24.3," Li Yuan glanced at the Divine Palace panel. "The stronger the foundation, the faster I will awaken Life Stars."

Li Yuan was very patient.

This feeling of the body and soul transforming and becoming stronger step by step, although somewhat painful and torturous, could also make people feel joy from the bottom of their hearts.

……

The Xianxu Civilization, as the most powerful civilization known to human Seven-Star Civilizations, is vast, boundless, and peerlessly powerful... but the entire civilization is not of one piece; it is also divided into many divine kingdoms and sects.

The Gu Yue Divine Kingdom is just a very inconspicuous one among the many divine kingdoms and sects of the Xianxu Civilization.

When Li Yuan was in seclusion cultivating and his strength was constantly transforming,

The news of the deaths of Mohu, Lei Wu, and the others finally reached 'Mintian City' of the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom.

This is the core of Mintian Hou's fief.

Above the city, a large number of aircraft were flying back and forth, and there were also super-large interstellar warships hovering... The entire city was extremely prosperous.

And on the east side of the city, among a complex of special high-rise buildings.

Inside a super-large conference room.

"A bunch of trash!!"

"Trash." A furious voice echoed in the conference room. "So many people died, almost the entire army was wiped out, and even Mohu died."

"As a result, you tell me that you don't even know who killed Mohu."

"Seven-Star humans? Of course I know the culprit is a Seven-Star human! Could it be an Eight-Star human!"
