High-Level Martial Era - Chapter 517

Chapter 517: Chapter 304: Can’t Do Anything About It! The Final Ultimatum_3
 

“Kill!” roared the Chi Yen Beast King. After he shrank in size, his palms became more agile and managed to more easily block the long spear attacks. The illusory spears shattered and the real Black Chen Spear was thwarted.

“This human martial artist is too terrifying.”

“He is the strongest Second Rank life form I’ve ever encountered. His skill level is definitely at the Beast Emperor tier.”

“No! Even if we only consider skill level, the Three Great Beast Emperors might not even match him,” conceded the Chi Yen Beast King, now focusing solely on defense.

Attack? He couldn’t distinguish Li Yuan’s real body and couldn’t possibly trouble Li Yuan. Instead, he was more likely to expose flaws.

If he chose to flee, with his flying speed, escaping wouldn’t be difficult.

But if he fled, Qing Sheng Beast King and the others would likely be caught and killed by Li Yuan, so he had to choose to stall Li Yuan.

“Hold on.”

“After all, he is only a Second Rank life form. With each clash, sooner or later, he will not be able to withstand it,” the Chi Yen Beast King was patient.

In a clash between powerhouses, the side with the weaker physical quality would easily get injured just from the impact of the weapons colliding.

But as time passed.

With each collision, the Chi Yen Beast King grew more astonished because he felt that the aura of the human martial artist clad in black hadn’t diminished or changed at all.

“Is this human martial artist’s defense so strong?” the Chi Yen Beast King found it unimaginable.

Logically, no matter how strong he was, his body was still of Second Rank level!

“Trying to use the shock of battle to overwhelm my body?” Li Yuan’s gaze turned icy as he figured out the Chi Yen Beast King’s tactics.

However, Li Yuan was protected by his half-divine-level armor, the “Stellar Garment,” which could greatly weaken external shock forces.

Plus, with the activation of his Great Earth Divine Body, Li Yuan’s ability to endure was not inferior to that of a formidable Flying Heaven Martial Artist.

If one were to point out Li Yuan’s weakness, it would be Origin Power!

Simultaneously executing several powerful Star Techniques consumed an astonishing amount of Origin Power.

…All this seemed slow, but in just over ten seconds, beings like the Qing Sheng Beast King and Li Yang had already retreated more than ten kilometers.

Under Li Yuan’s frenzied assault, the Chi Yen Beast King’s defense grew increasingly strained.

A prolonged defense is bound to fail.

“Pssht~” Suddenly, a spear stabbed out, drawing a dazzling arc in midair, piercing through layers of flames and fiercely aiming at the Chi Yen Beast King’s chest.

“Hiss~”

It was too fast. The Chi Yen Beast King couldn’t block in time and saw the spear light flare up and penetrate his chest, whereupon Li Yuan immediately felt a terrible resistance.

It was too hard.

“This is bad,” Li Yuan’s expression shifted slightly, “Such strong defense?”

After shrinking in size, the Chi Yen Beast King’s body was inherently hard, plus he was also protected by a layer of battle garment close to his skin, with his Domain weakening the attacks… making Li Yuan’s spear light strike his body but unable to penetrate deep.

Many special bloodline creatures would awaken terrifying talents at different stages.

Like the True Phoenix, which possesses the power of Nirvana.

The Seven Star Civilization was but a corner in the vast expanse of the endless dimensional river, rarely witnessing such special creatures with extraordinary gifts.

But immense strength and a sturdy body were the talents of the Chi Yen Beast King.

His body, nearly as solid as rock, could awaken Spiritual Nature and give birth to Spiritual Wisdom was an incredible feat… Just in terms of innate talent, across the entire Mingxu Star Realm, he was actuallyhigher than the Three Great Beast Emperors.

However, as a rock life form, his Comprehension was quite mediocre, which is why he never became a Beast Emperor.

“Human, you can’t kill me,” the voice of the Chi Yen Beast King resounded in Li Yuan’s mind, “I can’t do anything about you either. You are the strongest Second Rank life form I have ever seen.”

“How about we stop here and both withdraw?” the Chi Yen Beast King proposed through a mental message.

Li Yuan couldn’t speak.

To watch the other side kill Wu Manong and simply withdraw? How could Li Yuan be content with that?

“If we continue fighting, you might have a chance to kill my clan’s Beast Kings, but it will not be difficult for me to go all out and kill your two companions,” the Chi Yen Beast King communicated.

Li Yuan’s pupils constricted slightly; this was the concern he had harbored, that he wouldn’t be able to stop the other party from attacking Li Yang.

Whoosh!

Unconsciously, Li Yuan had already begun to retreat; continuing the fight seemed pointless.

Both powerhouses could not overcome each other.

“Human martial artist.”

“I can feel your rage. Was the one I just killed your friend?” The Chi Yen Beast King looked at Li Yuan and said gravely, “But you should understand that you are the invaders.”

“This is a racial struggle for survival space; does talking about invasion even matter? If your kind were powerful and had the chance to invade our world, would you stop?” Li Yuan’s eyes were cold as he finally responded to the other party.

“You have a point,” agreed the Chi Yen Beast King.

“Just like when I followed the Beast Emperor into battle, through countless years I have killed many unyielding Beast Kings. Every rise of a Beast Emperor is accompanied with bloodshed and slaughter,” the Chi Yen Beast King said, shaking his head, “Discussing justice is indeed laughable.”

“But I believe you are aware of the situation. If my kind really went all out, the casualties among your humans would not be limited to what they are now,” the Chi Yen Beast King remarked, looking at Li Yuan.

Li Yuan remained silent.

This indeed was a point the high echelons of the Seven Star Civilization couldn’t understand.

The strength displayed by the native forces of Mingxu was too powerful… Beings like the Three Great Beast Emperors, and even the Chi Yen Beast King at this level, had never taken action before.

Why hadn’t they acted? It was a mystery.

If the Mingxu native forces were determined to attack at all costs, they could have possibly destroyed many bases of the Seven Star Civilization and the Tianliang Civilization, or even wiped them all out long ago.

However.

The might of the Mingxu native forces was exactly why the Seven Star Civilization high command chose to give up the many outlying bases and withdraw completely.

If the Seven Star Civilization were to call all Prime Warriors from the Seven Star Mountain to Mingxu Star Realm and even allow a batch to break through, and if they used a wealth of rare treasures to rapidly enhance their strength and mobilize more Fourth-order Battleships… they might have a chance to win.
