High-Level Martial Era

“`

“[You have slain a Third Rank creature, obtaining Spiritual Nutrient].” A Divine Palace notification flashed by.

Seeing this scene, the group of human warriors fleeing across the wilderness, as well as people like Wu Manong who were watching the battle through the war machine’s projection, were all quite excited and thrilled.

We’ve won!

The Spirit Spear, once again, proved its strength through action.

A level 32 Flying Heaven Exotic Beast? They had all condensed the True Intent of heaven and earth; even without practicing any formidable Star Techniques, their strength far exceeded that of a normal True Intent Prime Warrior.

However, facing the Spirit Spear, two against one, they were all quickly slain in an extremely short time.

In the void, Li Yuan remained calm.

If he wasn’t worried about provoking a full-scale war and triggering the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor to go on a frenzied killing spree against the fleeing human warriors, Li Yuan would have taken action long ago.

After all, once a full-scale war erupted, with hundreds of Flying Heaven Level Exotic Beasts attacking, Li Yuan’s strength, no matter how formidable, wouldn’t be enough to protect all the fleeing humans.

“No choice.”

“If they seek death and refuse to retreat, then I can’t hold back, I just hope it doesn’t trigger a war for the time being”

“Wait until all fleeing warriors return to Bright Moon Base, Ming Heart Base.” Li Yuan mused in his mind, his eyes flickering with a murderous intent: “Also wait until the ordinary warriors from the two bases have mostly retreated back to Xia Country, then I can take action without any reservations.”

When killing those two Flying Heaven Level Flying Serpents, Li Yuan didn’t even use his Phantom Body.

Li Yuan, with the ‘Shadow Domain’ deployed, was in his strongest state, which was also why he had the confidence to battle the Three Great Beast Emperors.

“Huff!”

With a thought, Li Yuan’s Divine Sense swept over the corpses of the two large Flying Heaven Level Flying Serpents below, thoroughly investigating them.

“Hmm? They actually have Storage Treasures? And their flesh and blood fused with body armor? No wonder they were so hard to kill.” Li Yuan thought to himself, a trace of caution rising in his heart.

From the Seven Star Civilization records, Li Yuan knew that creating Storage Treasures was extremely difficult; most Demigods couldn’t do it… Typically, Storage Treasures were mass-produced by divine beings.

How could the native powerhouses of the Mingxu Star Realm possess Storage Magical Treasures?

Li Yuan, with his powerful spiritual power, rapidly broke through the spiritual imprint on the surface of the Storage Treasure.

He directly delved inside for a meticulous inquiry.

All the items inside were left by the black Flying Serpents, not appearing to be remnants from fallen warriors of either the Seven Star or Tianliang Civilizations.

“These aren’t standardized.”

“They also don’t seem to be Storage Magical Treasures left by fallen warriors of our Seven Star Civilization or the Tianliang Civilization.” Li Yuan frowned.

Having this Storage Treasure and combining it with the information about the treasure in the depths of Ming Mountain that Alliance Hierarch Dongfang Ji had conveyed,

Li Yuan suddenly had many speculations in his mind.

“First, continue the patrol.” Li Yuan’s figure flickered, and he vanished into the distance as a streak of light.

…

When the two Flying Heaven Level Flying Serpents perished,

Thousands of kilometers away, at the towering Ming Mountain that reached thousands of kilometers high, the mountain range stretched skyward, many valleys between the mountains spanning tens of kilometers wide… If one looked up close, they would feel as if Ming Mountain was an endlessly extending Pillar of Heaven.

Midway up Ming Mountain, there lie a broad lake, spanning tens of kilometers. On the small island in the center of the lake, a simple and ancient palace was built.

Many gigantic Flying Serpents lived around the lake, with many exceeding eighty meters in length.

In the Flying Serpent Clan, a length of over eighty meters typically signified reaching the Flying Heaven Level.

Here was the dwelling place of the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor, one of the three sovereigns of Ming Mountain, and the stronghold of the Flying Serpent royal clan.

The palace interior was dark and damp, with each corridor exceptionally vast to allow free passage for the Flying Heaven Level Flying Serpents.

Within a super-large hall deep in the palace, a huge crystal sphere hovered in the void.

Within the crystal sphere, many purple dots flickered, densely packed and numbering in the hundreds.

A massive black serpent, its body coiled, lay there with spread wings, silently resting.

Suddenly!!

“Buzz~” The crystal sphere above burst out with dazzling red light, followed by waves of light surging outward in all directions.

“What’s happening?” The black serpent quickly lifted its head, its cold, snake-like eyes flashing with shock.

The next moment!

Whoosh~

The crystal sphere released countless rays of light, instantly forming a massive screen of light projection on the outside, which displayed the head of a green serpent.

Atop the green serpent’s head, there was a strikingly noticeable horn, as if piercing the skies.

“Your Majesty!” The black serpent lowered its head, bowing respectfully.

The green serpent in the projection was none other than one of the three sovereigns of Ming Mountain—the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor.

“Hei Guang, the Soul Crystal Ball just alerted me that Hei Jing and Qing Yanyu have died.” The Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor spoke with a deep voice: “And it transmitted their final battle scenes before death.”

Hum~

The crystal sphere once again emitted light, forming another light screen projection, which revealed Li Yuan in battle against the two Flying Heaven Level Flying Serpents.

The battle proceeded at an extremely fast pace.

Soon, the projection ended.

“Such a formidable human.” The black serpent was quite shocked: “Hei Jing and Qing Yanyu had both condensed the True Intent of Earth and Water and stepped into the mid-stage of Flying Heaven, yet they were killed so quickly by him?”

“His strength is likely comparable to a level 33, making him one of the strongest human warriors we have encountered so far.” The black serpent declared solemnly: “Only that human warrior trapped in the ‘Divine Land’ can be compared to him.”

“In this war against human forces, how many Beast Kings have fallen?” The Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor spoke slowly.

“Reporting to Your Majesty, including Hei Jing and Qing Yanyu, a total of eight Flying Heaven Beast Kings have fallen.” The black serpent reported respectfully.

Through the Soul Crystal Ball, the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor had a clear understanding of the casualties among his Flying Heaven Level subordinates.

The Soul Crystal Ball is a very special treasure.

It’s somewhat similar to Gu You’s ‘Spiritual Lamp’, although its sensing and inquiry range is far less than that of the Spiritual Lamp, it possesses other marvelous uses, allowing the departed to send back images of their last moments before death to the Soul Crystal Ball.
