Chapter 544: Chapter 314: Entering the Divine Land! You Are from an Alien Race (Extra 30)
 

“Spirit Gun.”

“According to what the Thunderglow Beast King said, each of the Three Great Beast Emperors possesses a Spirit Orb, which corroborates with some of the information we’ve gathered… But we’ve raided the residencies of the Three Great Beast Emperors and found none of the Spirit Orbs.” Luo Chan couldn’t help but say, “The remaining Beast Kings of the Mingxu Beast Clan must have reorganized.”

“What the Thunderglow Beast King said can’t be fully trusted.”

“The most crucial point is that the passage at the bottom of this lake was originally closed, but by the time we arrived, a large quantity of lake water had drained away… The sealed array at the bottom collapsed on its own.”

“This is clearly a deliberate ploy left by the Mingxu Beast Clan, much like a trap.” Luo Chan looked at Li Yuan, “If you enter, you might be in danger.”

Everyone present fell into deep thought.

What Luo Chan said made sense.

“Luo Chan,” Li Yuan said, “But there are two issues. First, aren’t you implying that if those Flying Heaven Beast Kings hadn’t intentionally revealed the passage, we wouldn’t be able to detect it?”

Luo Chan was rendered speechless.

Indeed!

Regardless of whether Qing Sheng Beast King and the others destroyed the peripheral Origin Power Array, the Seven Star Civilization would certainly conduct a thorough inquiry of Heavenly Serpent Lake, merely delaying things at most.

“Second, I don’t have a choice,” Li Yuan shook his head, “There are now only two passages, and compared to the passage at the bottom of Heavenly Serpent Lake, the other is far more dangerous.”

“If this passage is truly dangerous, and one would die upon entering it, why would the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor bother personally guarding this place?” Li Yuan said with a smile.

Li Yuan didn’t spell it out.

Recently, he had received a message from Fang Hai: “According to covert intelligence, the geniuses of the Myriad Demons Civilization who entered the Divine Land via the ‘Military Passage’ around the periphery of Ming Mountain, some had perished not long after entering.”

How did they perish? It was unclear!

This was enough to indicate that both passages could be dangerous.

Without more intelligence, Li Yuan had no choice but to gamble.

“Spirit Gun, should we wait a bit longer?” Li Yang suddenly said, “Do we need to rush in like this?”

“Yeah!”

“We can completely continue pursuing those Flying Heaven Beast Kings outside.” Others also couldn’t help but speak up.

“If the Three Great Beast Emperors keep hiding inside, shall I never enter?” Li Yuan shook his head, “Without slaying them, can we be at ease claiming the Mingxu Star Realm?”

“Give me and Jiang Zai enough time, and we are confident we can beat them,” Tavares said in a low voice.

As a Prime Warrior who had made a breakthrough with True Intent, he believed that reaching the Flying Heaven Peak was not difficult.

“I believe that you might match the Three Great Beast Emperors in the future, even slay them, but how long would that take?” Li Yuan said, “Ten years?”

“I can’t wait that long,” Li Yuan sighed.

Tavares opened his mouth but said nothing.

Reaching the Flying Heaven Peak within ten years, he wasn’t very confident about it.

Naturally, he dared not make any bold claims.

“Moreover, I can wait, but can Yu Jinghe? Whether he can force his way out on his own… that’s a complete unknown,” Li Yuan said.

“The geniuses of the Myriad Demons Civilization have already stormed in… Do we let them run amok inside? If they seize some critical treasure, the outcome of this war is unpredictable,” Li Yuan slowly said.

The other human Martial Artists present didn’t know.

But Li Yuan was very clear that anything could happen with a Divine Class Mothership.

If the geniuses of the Myriad Demons Civilization or the Three Great Beast Emperors took control of it and activated it… then even a Demigod might not be able to withstand it.

“Entering this so-called Divine Land is indeed dangerous.”

“But if there was no danger, why rely on me?” Li Yuan said with a frank smile, voicing his true feelings.

In the void, silence prevailed like a mute sparrow.

Tavares, Luo Chan, and the others were lost in thought.

In actuality, everyone knew, if ‘Spirit Gun’ had not shown his heaven-defying combat strength, prompting the Seven Star Civilization leadership to resolve to fight… facing the oppression of the Three Great Beast Emperors, the Seven Star Civilization might have already chosen to withdraw from the Mingxu Star Realm.

In war, there are victories and defeats.

Among the various Foreign Civilizations, the Seven Star Civilization is not considered one of the strongest.

In the past, the Seven Star Civilization failed more than once in vying for star realms.

For instance, in struggling over the Rob Sea Star Realm, they were constantly suppressed in battle, merely managing to maintain the defensive line.

“After I enter the Divine Land, you eight warships will return to the Bright Moon Base,” Li Yuan instructed, “With the foremost Beast Kings slaughtered by my hand, even if the other Beast Kings band together… breaking into the base won’t be easy.”

“Understood,” Tavares nodded.

They all understood that the focus of this star realm warfare was no longer the vast territories of the Mingxu Star Realm, but the ‘Divine Land.’

If Spirit Gun could succeed in killing the Three Great Beast Emperors within the Divine Land, that would be the true completion of a great achievement.

“Alright.”

“I’m going in.” With a thought from Li Yuan, layers of yellow and blue streams interwove around him, forming a domain with a diameter of about a hundred meters. The domain was the best for large-scale inquiry and could effectively provide early warnings.

“Boom~”

The domain, laden with astonishing power, broke through the layers of water currents, protecting Li Yuan as he swiftly charged toward the bottom of Heavenly Serpent Lake.

Before long.

“The Origin Power Array that once concealed the lake bottom has been directly breached.” Li Yuan’s realm and spiritual power were excellent, allowing him to sense the various fluctuations that were diffusing around him.

“This Origin Power Array must have been obtained by the Three Great Beast Emperors from the Mothership,” Li Yuan mused.

An Origin Power Array, centered on the mysteries of heaven and earth, using Origin Power as its core and stabilized with various extraordinary items, could unleash tremendous power at critical moments.

However, Origin Power Arrays are exceedingly rare; even demigods mostly don’t utilize the mysteries of the universe with high efficiency.

Just like storage treasures, which are easy for divine beings to create.

But for demigods? It is as difficult as ascending to the heavens.

What is difficult for others is not difficult for the accomplished.

In fact, most of the Origin Power Arrays and storage treasures of the Seven Star Civilization were discovered in various ruins.

“The Alliance Hierarch is indeed formidable, deducing that Ming Mountain might be a fallen Divine Class Mothership based only on its appearance and the scant information from the Mingxu Star Realm,” Li Yuan mused silently.

The stronger he became, the more he could feel the unfathomable depths of Dongfang Ji… Like before, the speed with which the latter collected the numerous materials needed to cultivate the ‘All Things Divine Body’ had surprised Li Yuan considerably.

“Passage.”

Li Yuan finally reached the bottom of the lake, where it was extremely dark, but his powerful Divine Sense allowed him to scan hundreds of meters in all directions. What was key, however, was the bundle of light.

This was a passage with a diameter of about a hundred meters, akin to a deep abyss.

The passage emitted a hazy glow, preventing Li Yuan from seeing the space inside clearly.

A tremendous flow of water was kept outside the passage by an invisible force.

“It does have some resemblance to the portals leading to Worlds within Worlds,” Li Yuan thought to himself, recalling the scene when he first entered the World within Worlds in the Fierce Feather Star Realm.

“However, the surroundings of this passage seem to be made of metal,” Li Yuan sensed. “It should all be the outer shell of a Mothership. According to the information provided by the Alliance Hierarch… the entire Divine Class Mothership is forged into a single entity by the Origin Power Array, and even a demigod would have to attack thousands of times to breach the shell.”

These Mothership shells may not be on par with Semi Divine Artifact materials, but through the combination via the Origin Power Array, they become incredibly sturdy… Li Yuan had already tried and couldn’t shake them in the least.

He observed for a while longer.

“Enter!”

With a thought, Li Yuan passed through his Domain and fell into the strange passage below.

Above the lake.

“We’ve lost the trace of the Spirit Gun,” Tavares spoke solemnly. “He has entered the Divine Land.”

“He went in?”

“What about his life signs?” the others hastily asked, very apprehensive.

“According to the ‘Life Crystal’, there is no immediate danger to his life,” Tavares spoke solemnly. “However, he just entered, and it’s still too early to say for sure.”

Within the Seven Star Civilization, there’s a special Secret Treasure called ‘Life Crystal’ that can confirm the life or death of living beings within close proximity.

If one dies, then the Life Crystal will shatter.

Yu Jinghe had refined a Life Crystal before entering, to determine his life or death status.

Li Yuan, not long ago, also refined a Life Crystal, then left it aboard the Fourth-order Battleship.

“Let’s go.”

“Without the Spirit Gun, we are very vulnerable now,” Luo Chan said softly. “Better to quickly return to the Bright Moon Base, stand firm, and wait for news from Yu Jinghe and the Spirit Gun.”

Soon after, eight Warships swiftly departed from Heavenly Serpent Lake.

…

After falling into the glowing strange passage.

Li Yuan felt a flash before his eyes and found himself in an immensely vast hall, the height of the hall was probably more than ten kilometers, and the diameter was even dozens of kilometers.

This could no longer be called a hall, it was more like a small-sized space.

“Completely cast from metal?” Li Yuan held his breath, the huge space had an exceedingly smooth floor.

Fully forged from metal, without even a speck of dust, everything seemed brand new.

At the same time, there was a faint light shining from all sides of the space, making the whole area as bright as day, with nothing obscured.

“Passage?” After the initial shock had passed, Li Yuan immediately saw that there were more than a dozen passages not far away.

At the depths of each passage, there was a shimmering light curtain, making it impossible to see what lay beyond.

“This should be the assembly square,”

Li Yuan had information and quickly deduced: “In the past, the powerhouses of this Mothership must have gathered here before advancing through the passage I just traversed.”

“If that passage were fully opened, it should stretch not just one hundred meters, but thousands or even tens of thousands of meters.”

You see.

According to the information provided by Alliance Hierarch Dongfang Ji, a Divine Class Mothership could reach thousands of kilometers in length, fully capable of serving as a foundation for a civilization… sailing the endless starry seas for eons.

Ming Mountain is possibly just the half of that Mothership that crashed into the ground.

“Which passage should I choose?” Li Yuan wondered silently.

Hum~ An invisible force suddenly swept across the void, its power was so strong, and its approach so swift, that Li Yuan had no chance to dodge.

Layer by layer of inquiry!

It was akin to scanning.

In the next moment, without giving Li Yuan time to react further, boom! An abundance of light abruptly congealed high in the space.

Countless beams of light converged to form a giant black Flying Serpent Phantom, covered with heavy scales.

Even as a phantom, it emitted an immensely powerful aura.

“Flying Serpent?” Li Yuan’s eyebrows raised slightly and a sense of vigilance surged in his heart.

“Alien Race!”

“You dare to trespass our clan Mothership; do you wish to die?” The massive black Flying Serpent Phantom loomed over Li Yuan.
