Chapter 311

With one spear strike, the top-tier Beast King Heiguang, who had been famous among the Mingxu Beast Race for over a hundred years, fell!!

"What!!"

"Did I see that right?"

"That was Heiguang Beast King, killed instantly?"

"Even if the three great Beast Emperors came, they might not be able to do that." The hundreds of Beast Kings who had not yet surrounded him were completely stunned by this scene.

One must know that after half a month of fermentation, the name of Ling Qiang had already spread throughout the high echelons of the Mingxu Beast Race. Almost all Flying Beast Kings knew that in the Seven Star human civilization, there was an extremely terrifying Tier-Two life form, "Ling Qiang," who could contend with Chiyan Beast King.

Chiyan Beast King is the recognized strongest under the three great Beast Emperors.

But!!

The hundreds of Flying Beast Kings did not expect that even though they had highly overestimated "Ling Qiang," they had still underestimated him. With one spear strike, "Heiguang Beast King," who was on par with Chiyan Beast King, was dead.

"Heiguang!!" Chiyan Beast King was also a bit dazed: "It's only been a month, how could his strength surge so much? In my perception, he is clearly still a Tier-Two life form."

"Was he deliberately toying with me last time?"

"Or did he break through to the Flying level?" Many thoughts flashed through Chiyan Beast King's mind, but more than that, there was a trace of fear.

Because, while other Flying Beast Kings might be thinking "Ling Qiang has reached the Beast Emperor level," only top-tier Beast Kings at Chiyan Beast King's level understood.

Beast Emperor?

Even a Beast Emperor could not kill Heiguang Beast King in one move! Ling Qiang is a heaven-defying existence that transcends the Beast Emperors.

... "This?"

"Ling Qiang?"

"My god!!" On the eight warships in the distance, human martial artists like Luo Chan, Tavares, and Jiang Zai, who were ready for battle and had already braced themselves for a fight to the death, were also stunned.

Almost in an instant.

They all remembered Ling Qiang's calm and indifferent voice on the warship just moments ago: "Here, with green mountains and clear waters, it is a perfect feng shui burial ground for them."

At the time, none of them believed Ling Qiang; after all, no matter how heaven-defying Ling Qiang's previous performance was, he was ultimately just a Source Martial Artist.

Just now, when Li Yuan told them to "stay in place and protect the warships," many even felt Ling Qiang was too arrogant and conceited, but they just didn't dare to say it out loud.

But now?

"Is he really a Source Martial Artist?" Li Yang was secretly shocked: "Can a Source Martial Artist be this strong? Even if Li Yuan cultivates for another ten years, I'm afraid he won't be able to catch up to Ling Qiang."

Li Yang had always felt that Li Yuan's future achievements would surpass Ling Qiang's, but now he had no confidence.

"This Ling Qiang? Is he really Li Yuan?" Luo Chan, the only one who knew the truth, was the most shocked: "He is only 20 years old!"

Luo Chan knew that after today's battle, Ling Qiang would likely become famous across many exotic civilizations.

However, if the news that "Ling Qiang is only 20 years old" were to spread, that would truly be earth-shattering.

This spear strike stunned all the experts in both camps; only Li Yuan was the calmest.

"A Level 34 expert with only Tier-Three lower-grade battle armor and no body-refining star techniques, daring to open his big mouth to bite me?" Li Yuan's speed did not slow down in the slightest as he lunged toward another Flying Beast King.

Heiguang Beast King had a great reputation, but as a clansman of the Heavenly Snake Beast Emperor, he was famous among all parties of the Mingxu Beast Race for his speed... In head-on combat, he was on the weaker side among the eight top-tier Beast Kings.

In Li Yuan's eyes.

Heiguang Beast King was about the same as a normal Level 33 human martial artist.

If Heiguang Beast King had focused on entanglement and protected his vital points, Li Yuan would likely have had to spend a few more moves to finish him off. But by actively sending his head toward the Black Star Spear... one must know that Li Yuan considers himself to have reached the baseline of the Flying peak, which is compared to the Level 35 Flying martial artists of the Seven Star Civilization.

"Hundreds of Flying Beast Kings?"

"Most of them are only Level 30 or 31." Li Yuan had the Divine Palace's reconnaissance; with one thought, he knew whether these Flying Beast Kings posed a threat to him.

"Whoosh!"

Before the long spear arrived, a dazzling spear light traversed a hundred meters of sky, piercing through the head of another Flying Beast King.

Fallen!

"It's too easy to kill Flying-level beings who haven't mastered the True Intent. Flying-level Source Power draws upon the power of heaven and earth, but it simply cannot block my long spear..." Li Yuan thought to himself: "No wonder the Dean was able to trigger the Laws with a single thought from a thousand meters away and kill that Flying-level alien assassin."

When killing Heiguang Beast King, he still had to get close.

But when killing ordinary Flying Beast Kings... whether one has condensed True Intent or not, the difference in strength is earth-shattering.

Ordinary Flying Beast Kings, let alone blocking the Black Star Spear, couldn't even block a single spear light from Li Yuan.

"Destroy!"

Li Yuan swept his spear again, the terrifying spear light cutting through the sky, first piercing through the head of one Flying Beast King, and then landing on the body of another, severely wounding it.

One spear strike, one dead, one wounded.

"Killing a Flying-level expert only increases the degree of spiritual awakening by 0.1%, it's truly difficult," Li Yuan thought to himself.

When he fought Chiyan Beast King last time, he noticed two changes after the spiritual awakening degree reached 50%... First, killing Tier-One and Tier-Two alien races could no longer obtain spiritual nourishment.

Second, killing a Flying-level expert seemed to only increase it by 0.1%.

"At this rate, I'll have to kill at least a hundred to reach 60%," Li Yuan thought to himself: "And what about when the spiritual awakening limit breaks through 75% in the future? This is forcing me to kill Demigods in the future."

Slaughter!

"Let's continue." Li Yuan's speed was astonishing as he slaughtered these Flying Beast Kings.

The great battle continued.

The eight Tier-Four warships' main cannons also erupted continuously after charging, constantly killing Flying Beast Kings.

At the same time, many Flying Beast Kings charged toward the warships and immediately engaged Tavares, Luo Chan, and the others.

However.

The most dazzling part of the entire battlefield, where the fighting was most intense, was still the area where Li Yuan was.

After Heiguang Beast King and several other Beast Kings fell one after another.

Although the other Flying Beast Kings were furious and terrified, what followed was a kind of despair... They all knew there was no way out.

If they retreated today, the Mingxu Beast Race would be doomed; they had only one path—kill!

Fight their way out! For the race, for freedom, fight for a path to survival.

"Kill!"

"Must kill Ling Qiang."

"If we don't kill him, our Mingxu Beast Race will surely perish."

"He must have used some secret treasure to make his strength so powerful. He is only a Tier-Two life form; no matter how strong his attacks are, his body's defense must be weak. As long as we can attack him... he will surely be injured or even die."

"Fight! Risk our lives!! Kill!" Hundreds of Flying Beast Kings, like moths to a flame, roared and launched the most insane attacks at Li Yuan in the void.

This was absolutely the most tragic scene in the thousands of years of the Mingxu Beast Race!!

And Li Yuan also completely erupted!

Rumble~ Whether it was whistling ice, flames covering the sky, huge wings whistling, or claws attacking.

Or multiple Flying Beast Kings joining forces to seal off all space, attempting to completely trap Li Yuan in the center.

For the fate of their race, these Flying Beast Kings gambled with their lives.

But reality told these Flying Beast Kings that it was all in vain.

"Boom!" Li Yuan's domain erupted first. After cultivating the "Myriad Things Divine Body" and having his Source Power undergo a transformation, even without cultivating domain star techniques, the domain formed by triggering the mysteries of the Wind and Earth True Intents was terrifying in power.

"Rumble~" Li Yuan's domain withstood countless attacks, clashing with Chiyan Beast King's flame domain, and unexpectedly did not fall behind.

The super-large-scale domain restricted the other Flying Beast Kings' attacks on Li Yuan.

"Swish!" "Swish!" "Swish!" Li Yuan did not unleash phantom bodies, but relying on "Wind Feather," he could burst out with a speed nearly eight times the speed of sound, surpassing any Flying Beast King. His figure was like a ghost, avoiding the repeated joint attacks of numerous Flying Beast Kings.

No Flying Beast King could catch his flight trajectory; all the sieges seemed futile.

Then, it was time for the slaughter!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Dazzling spear lights tore through the sky, beautiful and breathtaking. Every time a spear light lit up, it represented the fall of a Flying Beast King.

"Rumble~" Massive corpses of Flying Beast Kings fell, causing the earth to tremble and mountains to collapse.

These Flying Beast Kings were mostly leaders of their tribes, but in front of Li Yuan, it was just a matter of one spear strike more or less.

"Nanxiong Beast King is dead!!"

"Tianhe Beast King is dead!"

"Wuying Beast King is dead." Top-tier Beast Kings who had once been famous in the Mingxu world fell one by one. The crazy attacks of these powerful Beast Kings could indeed pose a slight threat to Li Yuan.

But it was only a slight threat, only making Li Yuan thrust his spear a few more times.

Suddenly.

"Go to hell!" The roar resounded through heaven and earth.

"Boom!" A terrifying flame giant palm, containing endless rage, slapped Li Yuan fiercely.

It was Chiyan Beast King!!

This most powerful Beast King under the recognized Beast Emperors, under the pressure of Li Yuan's eruption and in the despair of life and death, unexpectedly took a crucial step—True Intent Mid-Stage.

Chiyan Beast King had broken through.

The breakthrough in skill caused his attack power to surge by a notch, especially his attack speed, which surged, causing the previously leisurely Li Yuan to be unable to dodge in time and take a slap.

"Bang~"

Li Yuan was sent flying backward; the impact contained in this slap was very terrifying.

"Hahaha! Impressive!" Li Yuan flew backward for over a hundred meters, his laughter resounding through heaven and earth: "Chiyan, you were actually able to injure me, impressive."

Despair!

Not just Chiyan Beast King, but the other Flying Beast Kings who saw this scene were completely desperate.

Facing a direct attack from the breakthrough Chiyan Beast King, Ling Qiang was only injured? And looking at Ling Qiang's state, where did he look injured?

They did not know that after Li Yuan used Flying-level Source Power to activate the "Star Clothes," his defense was so strong that even if he stood still and took a hit from a Tier-Four warship's main cannon, he might not fall... Just in terms of survival ability, Li Yuan is considered quite good even among the Flying peak.

"Chiyan."

"My turn." Li Yuan transformed into a stream of light, whistling toward Chiyan Beast King.

In Li Yuan's eyes, all the other Flying Beast Kings combined were not as threatening as Chiyan Beast King alone.

With Chiyan Beast King's talent, once he continued to break through his Source Power to Level 35, I'm afraid even the other three great Beast Emperors would not be his match.

"Kill!" Chiyan Beast King also roared, his body shrinking rapidly to ten meters in height, and his flame domain also shrinking rapidly.

Rumble~

The domains collided. This time, Li Yuan's domain was at an absolute disadvantage, constantly being suppressed and collapsing.

"Not having cultivated domain star techniques, the gap in skill hasn't narrowed, and there is also a gap in Source Power," Li Yuan was not at all surprised that his domain fell behind.

In fact, Li Yuan had hesitated when choosing his fourth star technique.

If he had chosen a domain star technique, it would have been more beneficial for head-on combat and for binding enemies in group battles.

But an escape star technique was more beneficial for survival.

Li Yuan ultimately chose the latter.

"Swish!"

The Black Star Spear attacked! It easily pierced through the flame domain with monstrous power.

"Die!" The shrunken Chiyan Beast King roared, clenching his five fingers into a fist, triggering the Flame True Intent to cover his fist, and smashed head-on toward this terrifying spear strike.

Two terrifying forces collided.

"Bang!"

The collision of True Intent Source Power seemed to compress the air sharply, like a nuclear explosion. The terrifying air waves rushed in all directions, causing the mountains and rivers within several kilometers below to collapse, nearly turning into a flat wasteland.

"Swish~" The Black Star Spear had already fiercely stabbed into that hard fist, directly piercing through the battle armor on the surface and stabbing into the rock-cast bone fingers.

"So hard!" Li Yuan frowned and unleashed a second spear strike.

"My body is shrunken, I have battle armor protecting my whole body, and even my strongest fist almost couldn't withstand it?" Chiyan Beast King felt a chill in his heart; he truly felt the sharpness of this seemingly unremarkable black long spear.

The penetrating power was too terrifying.

"Bang~" "Bang!" "Bang!" After multiple terrifying clashes, Li Yuan's spear techniques were all blocked by Chiyan Beast King.

This battle was like a replica of their previous one.

Just when the other Flying Beast Kings thought they saw hope.

Swish! Swish! Swish! Li Yuan's figure moved, instantly revealing six phantom bodies within the layers of domains.

Shadow Domain!

Li Yuan finally unleashed this ultimate move, but he still did not unleash the seven-fold star technique "Nine Shadow Clones"; that was his final trump card, and it wasn't necessary to expose it to deal with one Chiyan Beast King.

"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" The six Li Yuans erupted simultaneously, stunning the other Flying Beast Kings. They couldn't distinguish which one was Li Yuan, and at the same time, Li Yuan forced Chiyan Beast King into a desperate situation.

Divine Fist Smashes! Shaking the world!

Chiyan Beast King could block one attack from Li Yuan's phantom bodies, but he couldn't block them forever... Pfft! The Black Star Spear suddenly thrust straight, stabbing into Chiyan Beast King's chest.

"Pfft~" The battle armor was pierced through.

"Rumble~"

The terrifying power contained in the long spear erupted, instantly causing layers of rock to explode.

One spear strike truly injured Chiyan Beast King.

Whoosh!

In shock and anger, Chiyan Beast King finally retreated, wanting to leave, but in front of Li Yuan, who had unleashed the Shadow Domain and the star technique "Wind Feather," how could he escape? He was injured again and again under the Black Star Spear.

Chiyan Beast King felt death approaching.

"Escape!"

"Escape immediately!! As long as Ling Qiang hasn't left the Mingxu world, you are not allowed to show your heads. All of you, flee far away." Chiyan Beast King's voice rang out in the minds of the two hundred surviving Beast Kings, his voice filled with despair and grief: "As long as we survive, my Mingxu Beast Race still has hope."

"Still have hope!"

Rip~

Six more long spears attacked. The real Black Star Spear avoided the divine fist and stabbed into Chiyan Beast King's back, causing his injuries to worsen.

"Kill!"

"Ling Qiang, come fight!" Chiyan Beast King roared, his eyes no longer filled with despair, but with a kind of madness of someone ready to die.

He understood that he could not escape; Ling Qiang would definitely not let go of such a big threat, but he would use his life to buy time for the other Flying Beast Kings and fight for a chance at survival.

And even more, to fight for some hope for the Mingxu Beast Race.

"Escape!"

"Go!"

"Awoo~~" Those surviving Flying Beast Kings many let out grief-stricken roars, unable to bear seeing Chiyan Beast King fall, but they also understood that fighting again was meaningless, and they began to flee in all directions.

"Whoosh!" Li Yuan's eyes were cold; he ignored the other Flying Beast Kings and just stared at Chiyan Beast King, attacking.

In Li Yuan's eyes.

All the other Flying Beast Kings combined were not as threatening as Chiyan Beast King alone.

Once Chiyan Beast King cultivated body-refining star techniques and accumulated for a while longer... Li Yuan admitted that he might have to flee in panic.

Whoosh!

The thirty-sixth spear strike hit. Chiyan Beast King's body finally could not withstand the continuous attacks and exploded with a bang. His Source Core shattered; he no longer had the strength to fight.

But his head remained.

"Suppress!" Li Yuan suppressed him with his domain, and then followed up by thrusting his spear into Chiyan Beast King's head along the wound.

Pfft!

Chiyan Beast King's head completely collapsed from the inside. Dead!!

"Chiyan is dead!"

"Escape."

"As long as we survive, live!!"

"That Ling Qiang will leave our world sooner or later. As long as we are alive, we can take revenge on the Seven Star human civilization." Those Flying Beast Kings who had already fled tens of kilometers away were filled with grief and indignation.

They could only watch helplessly as the breakthrough Chiyan Beast King died.

"Are they all fleeing?" Li Yuan's gaze swept across the void. Numerous Flying Beast Kings were fleeing crazily; not even one Beast King dared to stay and attack the warships.

They all began to retreat.

For a moment, the entire void seemed to quiet down. In the distance, Tavares, Luo Chan, and the others, who had just finished the battle, held their breath and watched this scene.

In the void stood the black-clad figure holding a long spear, looking like a god of war.

The earth had turned into a flat wasteland under the impact of repeated clashes, leaving only the corpses of numerous Flying Beast Kings.

The shock in the hearts of these human martial artists was indescribable.

Nearly three hundred Flying-level experts besieged one Source Martial Artist, and in the end, over a hundred Flying-level experts fell.

Over a hundred!!

No matter how weak these Flying Beast Kings were, or how lacking they were in good weapons or star techniques, they were still true Flying-level life forms, and among them were super-powerful existences like "Chiyan Beast King."

And no matter how strong Ling Qiang's power was, he was ultimately just a Source Martial Artist!

This battle could absolutely be called a miracle.

Not just a miracle for the Seven Star Civilization, but even among many exotic civilizations, Tavares, Li Yang, and the others believed that this could definitely be called a "legendary feat."

Worthy of being passed down for thousands and ten thousands of years!

... "Escape?"

"Hunt them down!!" Li Yuan did not immerse himself in the joy of victory. After seeing the situation on the battlefield clearly, he gave orders to Tavares, Luo Chan, and the others.

Although Li Yuan had killed six of the top eight Beast Kings and slaughtered over a hundred Flying Beast Kings during the fierce battle just now.

But even more had fled.

Li Yuan knew that after this battle, these Flying Beast Kings would definitely not dare to gather again, but they would likely hide forever, and they were filled with hatred for the Seven Star Civilization.

As long as he was in the Mingxu Star Realm, these Beast Kings would hide and not dare to show their heads.

But how long could he stay in the Mingxu Star Realm? Three years? Ten years? He would have to leave sooner or later.

Then.

Killing one more now would reduce the threat to the future Seven Star Civilization!

Extermination was the correct approach.

"Kill!"

"Four warships as a group, ensure your own safety, and hunt them down as much as possible." Tavares, Luo Chan, and the others immediately followed Li Yuan's orders, following the warships and splitting up to hunt them down.

Boom!

Li Yuan's speed was the most terrifying; he charged directly toward the large group of Flying Beast Kings fleeing toward Ming Mountain.

In just a few dozen seconds, he caught up.

"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" Spear lights crisscrossed, and Flying Beast Kings fell one by one.

Seeing this, the other Flying Beast Kings fled even more crazily; many Beast Kings even dove directly into lakes or the earth, trying to shake off Li Yuan and the other human martial artists.

... A quarter of an hour later.

After a crazy hunt and slaughtering over fifty Flying Beast Kings, Li Yuan completely lost the trail of the other Flying Beast Kings.

On the vast earth, scenes of the aftermath of the great battle were everywhere.

"Go!"

Li Yuan stepped on the head of a four-hoofed alien beast covered in purple scales and flew back to the place where the battle first erupted.

In the void.

"Rumble~" The eight Tier-Four warships gathered again. After Tavares, Luo Chan, and the others hunted them down crazily, they had no more targets and flew back one after another.

"Ling Qiang!"

"Ling Qiang." Tavares, Luo Chan, Li Yang, and the others were filled with respect in their eyes.

Following that, they also saw the massive four-hoofed alien beast under Li Yuan's feet, whose four limbs had been severed and whose head had been half-shaved off.

"Lei Hui Beast King?"

"Lei Hui Beast King, one of the three top-tier Beast Kings under the Heavenly Snake Beast Emperor?"

"This is? Surrendered?" Li Yang, An Yongya, and the others had looks of shock in their eyes.

Only Luo Chan and Tavares were relatively calm, as if they had expected this scene.

"Lord Ling Qiang, and all respected human lords." Lei Hui Beast King was severely injured, his voice filled with a trace of terror: "I have been providing you with intelligence all along; I truly hope to cooperate with the great Seven Star Civilization and am even more willing to submit to the Seven Star Civilization forever."

"Lei Hui!"

"Don't be hypocritical," Tavares sneered: "You traded with us in secret just to obtain some cultivation resources, and we didn't give you any less."

"If you truly wanted to submit, why didn't you surrender directly just now? During the battle, you didn't hold back at all," Luo Chan sneered even more.

Many human martial artists suddenly realized and understood.

Lei Hui Beast King must have been one of the Seven Star Civilization's sources of intelligence within the "Mingxu Beast Race."

In a sense, Lei Hui Beast King was a "beast traitor."

It was just that it had survived until the end, while all the other top-tier Beast Kings had died in battle.

"Lei Hui."

"I know you are willing to cooperate with us," Li Yuan's voice was cold: "As long as you tell me everything you know, I will not kill you... Otherwise, you should understand that I could have killed you just now."

Of the eight top-tier Beast Kings, Li Yuan only left one, Lei Hui Beast King.

"This little beast understands, understands." Lei Hui Beast King nodded repeatedly.

He had already chosen to submit; to survive, he naturally would no longer have any bottom line.

"I ask you."

"Where are the three great Beast Emperors now? Where is the entrance to your Divine Land?" Li Yuan asked directly: "Also, a human martial artist from my Seven Star Civilization once entered Ming Mountain and went missing; do you know where he is?"

"Additionally."

"What agreement did the Tianliang Civilization reach with you when they last charged into Ming Mountain?" Li Yuan asked everything in one breath.
