High-Level Martial Era - Chapter 542

Chapter 542: Chapter 312: Fame Spreads to Foreign Domain
 

“`

Such a major event occurring within the Star Realm meant that the commanders of the Tianliang Civilization’s main base dared not take anything lightly.

Immediately, the commander sent the news and the relevant battle footage to the demigods in the civilization’s upper echelons.

…Above a sea near the “Mingxu Star Realm Passage” on Tianliang Star, a super-large warship was hovering.

Inside the warship’s meeting room.

When the images of battle appeared on the giant screen projection, all the Flying Heaven Warriors in the meeting room showed looks of shock, and even the faces of those few demigods changed.

A Prime Warrior, facing hundreds of enemies alone, eventually killed more than a hundred Flying Heaven Beast Kings, and even that rather powerful ‘Chi Yen Beast King’ fell under his long spear… Such strength was truly terrifying.

“A Prime Warrior can be this strong?”

“It shouldn’t be!”

“With Sky-soaring Pinnacle Combat Power, his strength is definitely comparable to the peak of Flying Heaven. How did he do it?”

“Two months ago, during his battle with the Cloud Beast Civilization in the Rob Sea, he was far from this terrifying.” Those Flying Heaven Warriors in the meeting room were whispering cautiously to each other, their voices unable to hide their shock.

Such a powerful Prime Warrior was unheard of; they had neither seen nor heard of one before, and there was no record of one in the ancient texts.

The few demigods exchanged glances with equally shocked expressions in their eyes.

“Jin Liang, is this your intelligence? Didn’t you say that the Spirit Gun’s strength was not beyond level 34?” Ye An Semi Divine’s voice carried a hint of anger: “To be able to kill the Chi Yen Beast King, he must be at level 35.”

Jin Liang, a demigod with a full head of blond hair and dressed in purple finery, was also somewhat at a loss, shaking his head with a wry smile: “Ye An Semi Divine, if I knew the Spirit Gun had such strength, would I dare compete with him?”

Jin Liang the demigod also felt helpless; who could have foreseen the Spirit Gun’s terrifying power?

“Compete?”

“Damn!” Ye An Semi Divine’s eyes were ice-cold: “Lu Lei is dead, leaving only Rolbis, Xue Yan, Fu Yuan, and a few others. Up to now, we still do not know how Lu Lei died.”

“Now, the Spirit Gun has revealed such terrifying strength. He will surely enter the Divine Land very soon, which is even more dangerous.”

Thinking of this, Ye An Semi Divine felt waves of anger.

Ten days ago, the Tianliang Clan’s army attacked Ming Mountain. Before long, they extorted the coordinates of the entrance to the Divine Land located in the outer area of Ming Mountain, sector 67… Soon after, Xue Yan led Lu Lei, Rolbis, Fu Yuan, and a group of top geniuses into it, plunging into the interior of the Divine Land.

But after entering the Divine Land, the Tianliang Clan also lost contact with these top geniuses.

Fortunately,

The Myriad Demons Civilization had a special method to confirm whether someone was alive or dead… but soon after, it was shown that Lu Lei had died.

“Ye An, there’s no need to worry too much.” Jin Liang the demigod spoke solemnly: “There are only two possibilities for Lu Lei’s death. The first is that there is great danger within the Divine Land, and the second is that they were attacked by the Three Great Beast Emperors… All of the Three Great Beast Emperors should be at the Sky-soaring Pinnacle level.”

When Lu Lei died, Jin Liang the demigod and Ye An Semi Divine suspected that the Mingxu Beast Clan was playing dirty, but there was no way to confirm it.

“We already have the Three Great Beast Emperors.”

“And the Spirit Gun, his threat is indeed significant, but speaking of true strength, aside from faster speed, his attack capability should be similar to that of the Beast Kings… Even if he enters the Divine Land, at most it will only make it more dangerous for Xue Yan, Rolbis, Fu Yuan, and the others.” Jin Liang the demigod said: “Furthermore, the Spirit Gun killing so many Flying Heaven Beast Kings, the Three Great Beast Emperors are sure to know… He and the Three Great Beast Emperors are likely to battle each other.”

“There are advantages and disadvantages!” Jin Liang the demigod analyzed.

Ye An Semi Divine’s eyes flickered as he spoke in a low voice: “At this point, all we can do is wait.”

“What I’m worried about now is not just the battle in the Mingxu Star Realm.” Ye An Semi Divine spoke slowly: “But the future.”

“The future?” Jin Liang the demigod’s pupils constricted slightly.

“The Spirit Gun, such an exceptional freak, is even more monstrous than Dongfang Ji, Fang Hai!!” Ye An Semi Divine said softly: “In the future, could he become a god?”

“Once he becomes a god, then the destruction of the Seven Star Civilization will truly be nearly an unreachable dream.”

Silence ensued.

The demigods all fell into thought.

But the Flying Heaven Warriors present didn’t have such deep feelings, first because their vision was not wide enough, and second because although the Tianliang Civilization and the Seven Star Civilization had been in continuous rivalry, there had never been a war at the demigod level… It was always the Myriad Demons Civilization that truly wanted to annihilate the Seven Star Civilization.

“The Seven Star Civilization is indeed getting stronger.” Jin Liang the demigod sighed lightly: “In these decades, more and more Flying Heaven Warriors and demigods are being born, and there are many dazzling ones. First came Dongfang Ji, then Fang Hai rose in the middle, soon there was Li Yuan… and now there comes an even more monstrous Spirit Gun.”

“All of these have the hope of becoming gods.”

“Just in a span of one or two hundred years, who knows where so many geniuses have come from.” Jin Liang the demigod shook his head.

Thinking of this.

“Dolongke, go issue the order, to increase support for the Mingxu Star Realm’s main base, and dispatch all of the Saint Heirs in the civilization… Also send five more warships.” Jin Liang the demigod ordered.

“What about the other Second Level Star Realms, Third Level Star Realms…” That Flying Heaven Warrior hesitated.

“Priority goes to supporting the direction of the Mingxu Star Realm.” Jin Liang the demigod said solemnly.

“Understood.”

…

As for the news about the battle in the Mingxu Star Realm, Jin Liang the demigod and Ye An Semi Divine did not order a ban on its spread.

Therefore,

Among the higher-ups of the Tianliang Civilization above the Flying Heaven Level, the news spread quickly: ‘Seven Star Civilization’s ‘Spirit Gun’, as a Prime Warrior, erupted with the strength of the peak of Flying Heaven, slaughtering over a hundred Flying Heaven strong fighters’.

Similarly, many other Foreign Civilizations had secret channels within the high echelons of Tianliang, at least with information exchange pathways… Faced with this explosive news, intelligence agents from various civilizations were shocked.

“A Prime Warrior? With the strength of Sky-soaring Pinnacle Combat Power?”

“This Spirit Gun, he’s too powerful, who exactly is he?”

“We have no clues about him!”

If it had been a Flying Heaven Warrior who had cultivated for many years suddenly bursting forth with such combat power, it would be just ordinary intelligence.

“`

“`

But if this was accomplished by a Prime Warrior, then it’s defying the heavens.

In terms of shock value, it’s hardly less than a devastating battle between demigods.

This also led to intelligence agents swiftly relaying the news of the “Spirit Gun” back to their respective civilizations, especially those bordering the Seven Star Civilization… With the power of the Spirit Gun, it could significantly alter the course of most Second Level Star Realms.

…

Cloud Beast Civilization.

The highest echelon of demigods convened the “Saint Lord Meeting” immediately.

The consciousness of each demigod descended upon that mysterious virtual domain.

“I believe you’ve all seen the intelligence regarding the Spirit Gun,”

“Today’s meeting has just two items on the agenda,”

“First, is the discussion about whether or not to abandon the Rob Sea and two other Second Level Star Realms.” The voice of the Black Plow Demigod was somber, “You should all be clear that facing the attack of the Spirit Gun, places like the three mother nests of beasts in the Rob Sea will have a hard time holding on.”

Many demigods began to ponder.

“Speaker, these three Star Realms have been under our management for a long time, and we’ve invested massive resources. How could we just give them up?” A demigod spoke gravely, “The battle in the Mingxu Star Realm has not yet concluded, whether the Spirit Gun can return alive is still an unknown.”

“Exactly!”

“We’re anxious, but the ones who are truly desperate are the Myriad Demons Civilization; they will certainly try to kill the Spirit Gun. Maybe the Spirit Gun won’t even have a chance to attack us before being eliminated by the Myriad Demons Civilization,” another demigod chimed in.

Clearly, most demigods were not willing to give up just yet.

As time passed, and after deliberation, the highest level of the Cloud Beast Civilization reached a consensus—if any of the Second Level Star Realms were to be attacked by the Spirit Gun, the other two would immediately begin full retreat.

“The Spirit Gun, has he really become so powerful?” Wudong Xue Demigod sighed inwardly.

When he first received the intel on the “Spirit Gun”, he was profoundly shocked as well.

And at today’s Saint Lord Meeting, he rarely kept silent.

“The second item on the agenda is concerning eradicating the Spirit Gun,” Black Plow Demigod spoke slowly, “The Myriad Demons Civilization, has just sent us a message… hoping we can join forces to eliminate the Spirit Gun.”

“Together? To collaborate?”

“The Seven Star Civilization poses a threat to us, but an even graver threat comes from the Myriad Demons Civilization.”

“Cooperating with the Myriad Demons Civilization is akin to asking a tiger for its skin,” the many demigods conferred amongst themselves.

Engaging in war with the Seven Star Civilization didn’t necessarily mean that they were allies with the Myriad Demons Civilization.

Apart from relations like those between the Myriad Demons Civilization and the Tianliang Civilization, it’s rare for different civilizations to have absolute trust.

The relationships between different civilizations are extremely complex.

Finally, with the strong advocacy of the Speaker Black Plow Demigod, the higher-ups of the Cloud Beast Civilization agreed with reluctance to utilize their intelligence network to the fullest, searching for any trace of the Spirit Gun, and if necessary, passing the information on to the Myriad Demons Civilization.

Although they were not keen on cooperating with the Myriad Demons Civilization, the Cloud Beast Civilization’s higher-ups were more eager to kill the “Spirit Gun.”

…

Time went on.

Not only the Cloud Beast Civilization, but even the distant Immortal Ruins Civilization began to hear of a supreme genius “Spirit Gun” born within the Seven Star Civilization, with a formidable record of battle.

Within the Seven Star Civilization, they no longer kept it a secret either; the news spread rapidly and they even took active measures to promote the dissemination of the information.

“Mingxu Star Realm, a grand victory!!”

“Spirit Gun, in one battle, slew over a hundred Flying Heaven Level beings from an Alien Race.” Just these two pieces of news were enough to send the popularity of the “Spirit Gun” skyrocketing, quickly reaching the ‘top headlines’ on the virtual network of the Seven Great Planets.

…Martial Divine Star Realm, at the palace atop Seven Star Mountain.

“This ferocious?”

“Spirit Gun, with Flying Heaven Peak strength?” When Duanmu Mountain Master received this news, he was somewhat befuddled.

With many members of Seven Star Mountain convened in the Mingxu Star Realm, Duanmu Hong naturally paid close attention to the war affairs of the Mingxu Star Realm.

With his privileges, he even obtained the battle footage.

“How did he do it?”

“Even with the foundation of a Prime Warrior, no secret treasure should enable him to exert such monstrous power, to annihilate a Beast King of level 34 in one move?” Duanmu Mountain Master looked at the intelligence, slightly bewildered, “Is that really Li Yuan? Could I have guessed wrong?”

It was too monstrous.

Suddenly.

“Duanmu!” A calm voice suddenly resounded in his mind, “You should have guessed long ago that the Spirit Gun is Li Yuan.”

“Alliance Hierarch.” Duanmu Mountain Master’s heart jolted.

Only the Alliance Hierarch could bypass the palace’s defenses and speak directly into his mind.

His heart was filled with even greater shock; previously, he had only conjectured based on various clues.

Now, it was confirmed.

“Warn again each Seven Star Mountain member who knows of this message, they are absolutely not allowed to leak it!” Dongfang Ji’s voice carried a trace of chill, “Anyone who leaks the information will be deemed a traitor to the clan!”

“Yes!” Duanmu Mountain Master’s heart chilled.

He understood the gravity of the situation; a Prime Warrior displaying Flying Heaven Peak strength was enough to astonish many Foreign Civilizations… Now, if they were to also learn that the Spirit Gun is only 20 years old, they would likely go mad, and it would be normal for them to take any kind of action.

A 50-year-old Prime Warrior achieving this is one thing, but a 20-year-old Prime Warrior doing so… the difference is tremendous.
