Chapter 362

Lantie Star, Jianshanwan City, located on the edge of the ocean; this area is quite remote.

Boom!

A dazzling stream of light fell from the horizon, hovering hundreds of meters in the air, and then Li Yuan's figure was revealed.

"In less than five minutes, this small town was completely destroyed?" Li Yuan stared at the small town below, which was already full of ruins; with the strength of his spiritual sense, he could cover the entire town.

Broken walls and ruins, building after building collapsed; shrouded in Li Yuan's spiritual sense, there were thousands of corpses of ordinary people, as well as many victims whose bones were difficult to distinguish.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Whoosh! Three figures suddenly rushed out from the ruins and quickly arrived in front of Li Yuan, bowing and saluting one after another: "Star Master Li Yuan."

"Hmm." Li Yuan nodded lightly.

After so many days passed, following his repeated interventions, the Seven-Star Alliance had long since publicly announced that he had become an Alliance Star Master, temporarily belonging to the 'Third-Rank Star Master' category.

It was just that the time was still short, and he had not yet attended the Alliance's highest meeting.

According to what Li Yuan understood, the Star Masters of the Seven-Star Alliance were roughly divided into three levels.

Heaven-Flying Star Masters, usually level 36 Star Masters like Duanmu Hong, or some extremely strong existences among level 35 Heaven-Flying martial artists, all belonged to Third-Rank Star Masters.

Second-Rank Star Masters, the vast majority of demigods belonged to this level.

First-Rank Star Masters, usually peak demigod experts, plus some mid-level demigod experts who had made great contributions and held special status.

Like Demigod Baishan, although he was only level 44, he was also a First-Rank Star Master.

Further up, there were the Alliance Master Dongfang Ji and the two Deputy Alliance Masters.

With Li Yuan's true strength, serving as a Second-Rank Star Master was more than enough... it was just that he still belonged to the 'bait' category, so naturally, he would not expose himself directly.

"Star Master Li Yuan."

"In the second minute after receiving the distress message, we arrived," the black-armored woman smiled bitterly. "But by that time, the aliens had already fled. Over 80% of the ten thousand people in this small town were killed or injured; it should have been one or two Heaven-Flying aliens."

Li Yuan sighed in his heart; he had descended on Lantie Star for nearly eight days, and the war on the entire planet was already nearing its end.

But occasional attacks were still happening.

Perhaps it was because there were fewer surviving experts, or perhaps the Ten Thousand Demon Civilization's high command had changed their attack plan... In short, the attacks by the Ten Thousand Demon Civilization's Heaven-Flying experts had once again been broken into pieces, targeting only some small cities and towns.

It was simply impossible to guard against.

The 7,000-plus Heaven-Flying martial artists of the Seven-Star Civilization seemed numerous, but major cities all required a large number of Heaven-Flying martial artists to guard them.

After all, the Ten Thousand Demon Civilization seemed not to be attacking major cities again, but the Seven-Star Civilization side had to defend with all its might.

As long as there was the slightest relaxation, it could cause casualties at the million-person level.

In this way, added to the Heaven-Flying teams searching the underground and sea areas... the number of Heaven-Flying martial artists that could finally be used to protect the many small cities and towns was very small.

"Mainly because the destructive power of the Heaven-Flying realm is too strong," another purple-armored man shook his head. "If it were just some First-Rank or Second-Rank aliens... they simply couldn't destroy so many defensive buildings so quickly."

Li Yuan nodded slightly.

Every city and every building was specially reinforced, and they were very effective against Second-Rank alien attacks... but for Heaven-Flying martial artists, whether it was steel plates or mud, there was actually not much difference.

Attacks of such a large scale affecting the entire planet like this only broke out once every many years... only then could it be called a planetary crisis.

"You have also worked hard."

"Continue to guard here for a while, then continue to patrol according to orders," Li Yuan instructed.

"Yes," the three Heaven-Flying martial artists said respectfully.

Whoosh!

Li Yuan turned into a stream of light and went away.

"Star Master Li Yuan is actually quite polite to us," the purple-armored man said in a low voice.

"Star Master Li Yuan has made great contributions to the entire civilization, and he has been at the forefront of several major battles," the black-armored woman said softly. "Logically, he is only level 33 now; although his strength is extremely strong, there should still be a lot of room for improvement... Appearing in public now actually makes it very easy for him to be targeted for assassination by aliens, but he still came."

"In the eyes of the aliens, his value is probably higher than ten demigods," the black-armored woman said.

"Isn't it said that Star Master Li Yuan has demigod strength?" the purple-armored man couldn't help but say. "With such terrifying strength, how can the Ten Thousand Demon Civilization assassinate him? There is only a Third-Rank Star Realm passage on Lantie Star, and demigods cannot pass through."

In the hearts of most Heaven-Flying martial artists, a demigod was already the peak combat power of the entire civilization.

They would not fall easily.

"Star Master Li Yuan's soul attacks are powerful, but against a demigod, soul attacks are probably useless," the black-armored woman shook her head. "Whether his frontal combat power is at the demigod level... it's hard to say, after all, he is only level 33."

"If his spear technique has not reached the legendary law level, he should not have demigod-level strength," the black-armored woman said.

The other two couldn't help but nod.

According to the information they knew, two years ago, Li Yuan's spear technique level seemed to have reached the demigod level (Sixth-Stage Perfection), but it had not reached the Seventh-Stage level... Two years later, had this legendary genius of the civilization comprehended the laws?

Strength was not only related to the life layer, but also closely related to Star Arts and law comprehension.

"As for assassination?"

"The Ten Thousand Demon Civilization sent thousands of Heaven-Flying experts; aren't there a few aliens who can break through to become demigods?" the black-armored woman sighed. "So much time has passed; perhaps the Ten Thousand Demon Civilization side already has some who have secretly broken through to become demigods."

A few simple words made everyone present feel a shock in their hearts.

Alien demigods?

That was simply a nightmare.

"So, Star Master Li Yuan is very dangerous?" the black-robed person who had been silent said in a low voice. "Should we remind Star Master Li Yuan?"

"Things we can think of, the demigods cannot fail to think of," the black-armored woman shook her head. "But they still let Star Master Li Yuan come to Lantie Star to participate in the war; they should have some certainty."

"Everyone, do your own work."

Not long after, the three Heaven-Flying martial artists patrolled the small town again, and after rescuing many more people who had been buried, they quickly left... their main mission was not here.

"Too many casualties," Li Yuan thought silently; the number of Heaven-Flying aliens who died at his hands already exceeded six hundred.

But casualties were unavoidable.

These days, Li Yuan had seen too many destroyed cities and too many human corpses.

Nearly one-tenth of the people on the entire Lantie Star had been slaughtered...

"This is still because of the continuous support from major planets, and the efforts of myself, Liu Bing, and several other demigods to protect them," Li Yuan sighed inwardly. "If we didn't have these demigod-level combat powers, and the Heaven-Flying experts who rushed from various planets... after such a long time, the entire Lantie Star would probably have been slaughtered clean."

This was the war of civilizations.

There was no good or evil; the aliens came specifically for slaughter.

"Civilization war!"

"Survival," Li Yuan muttered to himself. "When the Alliance Master had not yet risen, almost all the foreign civilizations we came into contact with were trying to invade us; later, they were driven back one by one... Over the past hundred years, most foreign civilizations have been much more peaceful, and fewer and fewer foreign civilizations dare to go to war with us directly."

"Last time, I slaughtered so many Second-Rank Star Realm experts... most foreign civilizations didn't dare to say anything."

"Even the Cloud Beast Civilization rarely made any more harsh threats," Li Yuan thought silently. "Instead, they have the intention of seeking peace with us."

Why? The Seven-Star Civilization had become stronger.

With Dongfang Ji in the past, and the younger generation like Fang Hai and Li Yuan later.

The rise of the Seven-Star Civilization had already made many foreign civilizations without gods sitting in command tremble with fear.

"My spiritual sense detection range is still too small, only able to diffuse over ten kilometers; just detecting the surface takes a long time," Li Yuan thought to himself. "Not to mention exploring the interior of the entire planet... wanting to explore the entire planet once, the speed is too slow."

"If I had a Void-God-level soul... my spiritual sense could spread over a hundred kilometers, and the detection efficiency would be hundreds of times what it is now," Li Yuan thought to himself. "I'm afraid I could basically explore the entire planet inside and out in a day or two."

It was just a pity.

More than a year after breaking through to Heaven-Flying, although Li Yuan's mental power had already increased to level 48, wanting to increase from level 48 to level 50 was not something that could be done in a short time.

"If my strength could be stronger and reach the peak demigod level."

"My speed would be faster, and I could save more people," Li Yuan had longing in his eyes. "Even, I could kill into many Third-Rank Star Realms, or even kill directly to the planets of hostile civilizations, and burn the flames of war to the enemy's homeland."

All along, the Seven-Star Civilization shared Star Realms with too many foreign civilizations, and just defending the many Star Realms was difficult.

Let alone taking the initiative to attack?

But Li Yuan also had longing and goals in his heart.

Back then, he was able to sweep through Second-Rank Star Realms... then in the future, he would be able to sweep through all Third-Rank Star Realms.

And even completely destroy many hostile civilizations.

"Destroying their race and history is the greatest respect for the enemy, and also the greatest comfort to the predecessors of past generations," the more Li Yuan saw, the clearer he was about what he had to do.

For the survival and strength of the civilization, anything could be done.

Lantie Star, about 4,000 kilometers deep underground, the temperature here was extremely high and scorching.

But this harsh environment was nothing to a demigod-level expert.

Boom—Terrifying black clouds, vast and mighty, shrouded a radius of one kilometer, repelling all matter within this kilometer to ensure that no one could spy on them.

Inside the black clouds.

"Suhar, Demigod Sang Qiu," the bald man Pu Yang radiated a terrifying aura far beyond the past, and said in a low voice: "You should have both seen the latest order from the East Demon god; now, the number of Heaven-Flying experts alive on our side is less than eight hundred. Continuing to attack will not cause any greater impact on the Seven-Star Civilization."

"Who knows when Li Yuan will withdraw."

"Therefore, the East Demon god ordered us to set up a fatal trap as soon as possible to kill Li Yuan. What are your thoughts?"

"What thoughts could we have? We have all become demigods," the silver-clad woman 'Demigod Sang Qiu' shook her head. "Before we came, we all made law oaths and must obey orders... Do you want to violate the oaths?"

"Suhar and I are fine," Demigod Sang Qiu said. "Pu Yang, you have stepped into the threshold of the laws; you should have some sense of it."

Among the three Heaven-Flying Demon Children who came from the Ten Thousand Demon Civilization, Suhar and Demigod Sang Qiu's true meaning comprehension was only at the Sixth-Stage Perfection, reaching the bottom-line requirement for becoming a demigod.

Only Pu Yang, who had cultivated in the Heaven-Flying realm for 150 years, had not only awakened a Six-Star Pulse but had also stepped into the threshold of the laws, making him one of the most powerful Heaven-Flying martial artists of this era in the Ten Thousand Demon Civilization.

It could be said.

If Pu Yang grew up normally, the probability of him becoming a peak demigod in the future was very high, and theoretically, he even had a slight hope of becoming a god.

This was also the reason why the East Demon god selected him to serve as the leader.

With such strength, once he broke through to become a demigod, he would have enough strength to compete with the demigods of the Seven-Star Civilization.

"Law oaths only have an effect after becoming a god; it doesn't matter for now," Demigod Pu Yang shook his head. "We all know that becoming a god... the hope is not great."

"Our goal is just to live well."

"To live freely," Demigod Pu Yang said solemnly.

In the Ten Thousand Demon Civilization, their life and death were controlled by the gods, and they had to obey every order.

But coming to the Seven-Star Civilization, their autonomy was very high.

"We cannot return to our homeland," Demigod Pu Yang swept his gaze over his two companions. "But the Seven-Star Civilization will not trust us even more; they will only want to kill us wholeheartedly. Even if we surrender to the Seven-Star Civilization... becoming slaves would be the best result."

"It is impossible for us to cooperate with the Seven-Star Civilization," Demigod Pu Yang said solemnly.

Suhar and Demigod Sang Qiu couldn't help but nod.

"The East Demon god has promised that as long as we can kill Li Yuan."

"Then, he will arrange for Demigod Taxi and Demigod Florence to send us treasures worth 200 God Crystals at the edge of the Star Realm passage to help us reach the peak demigod level as soon as possible," Demigod Pu Yang said.

Suhar and Demigod Sang Qiu were moved.

Before they came, although the East Demon god used both threats and inducements, he also gave them a large amount of treasures, including many powerful artifacts... If they were in the Ten Thousand Demon Civilization, they wouldn't get these treasures even if they became demigods.

But coming to the Seven-Star Civilization, they were directly bestowed upon them.

"If we can kill Li Yuan, it will also remove a future disaster for us," Suhar said in a low voice. "As long as we succeed in killing him, the East Demon god should not break his promise. As long as we don't die, we will still be of great use to the entire civilization."

"Hmm, let's plan to kill Li Yuan," Demigod Sang Qiu said softly.

"It's not that urgent."

"We have only just finished breaking through," Pu Yang said softly. "Let's first cultivate our Star Arts to the Fourth-Stage level and further control our artifacts... let our strength improve further, then we can plan."

For the past ten days or so, the three of them had been hiding in the depths of the planet to retreat and break through.

Today, they finally gathered in one place.

"We are only level 40; it's very difficult to cultivate our Sixth-Layer Star Arts to the Fourth-Stage limit, at most we can just enter the door; it won't take too long," Suhar said in a low voice.

Under normal circumstances, one needed a level 42 physical constitution to cultivate Sixth-Layer and Seventh-Layer Star Arts to the Fourth-Stage limit.

But it was obvious that there was not so much time for the three demigods to cultivate slowly.

"Enough."

"As long as the Star Arts initially step into the Fourth-Stage," Demigod Pu Yang said. "We are not relying on ourselves to kill Li Yuan, but on the Source Power Array composed of artifacts."

"Then that's it."

"According to the locations of the dead Heaven-Flying experts, we have already determined the approximate range of Li Yuan's activities."

"Ten days later, we will officially take action," Demigod Pu Yang said, and Suhar and Demigod Sang Qiu both agreed.

After they reported to the East Demon god, they continued to stay here and continue to cultivate with concentration.

The three demigods did not separate again.

Before, they were separated because they had not yet broken through to become demigods, and they were worried about being wiped out by the Seven-Star Civilization in one go... Now that they had all completed their breakthroughs, they naturally gathered in one place. In this way, even if they encountered the mid-level demigod 'Demigod Mujie', they would have the certainty of retreating unscathed by joining forces.

Not long after, to cooperate with the three demigods, the East Demon god ordered again, ordering the Ten Thousand Demon Civilization experts on Lantie Star to disperse and hide completely, while still maintaining low-frequency attacks... forcing the Seven-Star Civilization experts to remain in a state of full alert.

In the blink of an eye, twelve days later.

Lantie Star.

In a void.

"These days, the major sea areas have been roughly explored, but the number of Heaven-Flying aliens found has become fewer and fewer," Li Yuan walked on the seabed, accompanied by the fluctuations of invisible heaven and earth power, and the surrounding water flow dispersed directly.

In the last five or six days, on the entire Lantie Star, only ten or twenty Heaven-Flying aliens were found and killed every day.

"According to the Dean, Demigod Sanye, and their speculations, now, the remaining Heaven-Flying aliens should not exceed 500, and most of them are hiding deep underground," Li Yuan thought to himself. "Wanting to catch them all, it will take a group of demigods to sweep the entire planet again and again."

Only by repeated screening could they avoid fish slipping through the net.

If they relied only on Li Yuan, Liu Bing, and Demigod Mujie, it would be a huge project.

"Hmm?"

Li Yuan suddenly received a reminder and immediately checked it; he saw that in the 'Global System' of his smart ring, six requests for help appeared almost in an instant, all of which were red warnings.

"Six places? Three in the Eastern Hemisphere, three in the Western Hemisphere," Li Yuan's pupils shrank. "Of the three in the Western Hemisphere, two are in the north, and one is in the south."

Li Yuan was mainly responsible for the southern region of the Western Hemisphere.

And a red warning represented encountering more than fifty Heaven-Flying aliens.

Six places.

It represented that this wave of attacks by the Ten Thousand Demon Civilization mobilized at least three hundred Heaven-Flying aliens... The battle had lasted for such a long time, and the Ten Thousand Demon Civilization actually still dared to concentrate its remaining few troops on a large scale?

Was it the final struggle?

Boom!

Li Yuan's figure moved, and he rushed to the nearest area under attack at the fastest speed.

No matter what the Ten Thousand Demon Civilization was planning, he had to rush over first, because the cities under attack were all large cities with at least millions of people... once they fell, the consequences would be very serious.

At the same time.

Demigod Mujie and Liu Bing were also rushing to the cities under attack... and a large number of Heaven-Flying martial artist teams patrolling freely were also rushing to support frantically.

"Qimeng City, which is under attack."

"It's not far from me."

"It will only take a minute to arrive," Li Yuan thought to himself, and vigilance also arose in his heart.

Qimeng City, as a large city with a population of over ten million, had a huge urban area, spanning tens of kilometers.

At this moment, many Heaven-Flying martial artists were engaged in fierce fighting in the city; one side wanted to kill more Heaven-Flying experts and ordinary people, while the other side was trying its best to resist.

"Hold on!"

"In just one minute, a demigod will arrive."

"Hold them off," the thirty-plus Heaven-Flying martial artists responsible for defense had all been dispatched.

Dozens of kilometers deep underground.

Three figures, using artifacts to cover their auras with all their might, were each dozens of kilometers apart, forming a triangle, faintly surrounding the entire urban area of Qimeng City.

"Pu Yang, is this trick going to work?" Demigod Sang Qiu asked via artifact communication.

"After so many days, thousands of Heaven-Flying experts have died in battle, and we have already clearly understood the approximate activity range of their three demigod combat powers," Pu Yang said. "The other five places are a diversionary tactic to attract Demigod Mujie and that flying snake."

"Qimeng City is the only large city under attack in Li Yuan's activity area; he should come," Pu Yang said.

"What if he doesn't come?" Demigod Sang Qiu asked suspiciously.

"Then we will activate the artifact array to destroy the entire city and then retreat," Pu Yang said indifferently. "If he doesn't come, we will destroy the cities one by one... and slaughter the entire planet clean."

"Hmm," Suhar and Demigod Sang Qiu both nodded slightly.

The three demigods quietly sensed the Heaven-Flying battle breaking out in the city above.

Suddenly.

"He's here," Demigod Pu Yang had a trace of killing intent flash in his eyes. "It's Li Yuan."

"He came quite fast; there's no need to execute the second plan."

Bursting with full speed, Li Yuan arrived at Qimeng City in just one minute, and at a glance, he saw the fierce battle breaking out in the void.

Heaven-Flying realm fierce fighting, even a slight ripple, would cause a large number of ordinary people to die.

Whoosh!

Li Yuan approached at extreme speed and rushed directly into the city that had already turned into ruins; those Heaven-Flying aliens had already sensed Li Yuan's descent, and in their shock and anger, they wanted to flee for their lives.

Hum~ Hum~ Invisible soul fluctuations diffused, and any Heaven-Flying alien that approached within a five-kilometer radius of Li Yuan died almost instantly and fell directly down.

Even a peak Heaven-Flying expert, if their will was slightly weaker, would have the danger of falling when facing Li Yuan's soul attack, the 'Heart-Burning Blade'.

In the blink of an eye.

More than ten Heaven-Flying aliens died.

"Star Master Li Yuan is here."

"Star Master Li Yuan," the Heaven-Flying experts of the Seven-Star Civilization all showed excitement.

Just at this moment.

"Hmm?" Li Yuan keenly sensed the drastic change in the surrounding heaven and earth power; the heaven and earth within a radius of tens of kilometers seemed to have changed at this moment.

Boom—From all directions, above and below, a large amount of black clouds appeared instantly, and the black clouds surged.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

In three directions, Li Yuan also sensed three terrifying forces erupting through the power of heaven and earth.

"Mystery of Earth! Mystery of Wood! Mystery of Water!" Li Yuan distinguished the power fluctuations of the three directions.

The three forces were different from each other, yet they faintly joined together to form a whole, connecting and gathering with each other, directly sealing a huge area of tens of kilometers in radius.

"It's a Source Power Array."

"A demigod-level Source Power Array."

"This is a trap!" How high was Li Yuan's vision? Almost the moment this huge array erupted, he had already fully confirmed it.

In fact.

If Li Yuan had fled at the first moment, with his burst speed, there would have been a slight hope of rushing out of the array range.

But at this life-and-death moment, Li Yuan did not choose to flee, but instead stood in the void.

"Boom!"

Li Yuan's heart moved, and he directly unleashed the Nine-Layer Star Art "Heaven and Earth River", and at the same time activated the battle armor on his body, the "Nine Dragon Profound Armor".

"Roar~"

"Roar~" Nine yellow dragons roared, surrounding the earth-yellow airflow that covered the sky and earth, like nine terrifying rivers, instantly shrouding a radius of nearly ten kilometers.

Protecting most of the Heaven-Flying martial artists and millions of ordinary people in this range.

"Boom—" Li Yuan's domain collided violently with the surging black clouds, instantly stirring up terrifying ripples.

The terrifying black clouds constantly impacted Li Yuan's domain, but they could only suppress the nine yellow dragons and could not completely crush them.

"What?"

"We three demigods joined forces, using three artifacts as a base, combined with the Source Power Array with 72 demigod artifacts as the foundation laid in advance, and we still can't crush Li Yuan's domain?" Demigod Pu Yang, Demigod Suhar, and Demigod Demigod Sang Qiu were all stunned.
