Spanning hundreds of kilometers, a Flying Heaven Warrior, if flying at full speed, could arrive in just a few minutes.
However, that would make too much noise.
For ‘Number Three’, he knew for certain that there would be Flying Heaven Peakers guarding Kunlun Martial University, protecting Li Yuan. If he were to fully unleash his power, he might be intercepted before he could even get close.
Fight with a Flying Heaven Warrior? Number Three was not interested.
As one of the most terrifying assassins of the Tianliang Civilization infiltrating the Seven Stars human civilization, he was an ace, rarely making a move… But once he did, it would be earth-shattering, and the target’s value astonishingly high.
Across the Blue Star, targets of Li Yuan’s caliber had not appeared for a long time.
It should be noted that even for Yu Jinghe, Number Three, after some analysis, had chosen to refrain from acting, unwilling to take the risk.
But Li Yuan? No choice!
“Geniuses of the Seven Stars human civilization, if only having the potential to reach the peak of Flying Heaven, are not worth my effort.” Number Three was clear on this: “Only those with the potential to become Demigods.”
The Flying Heaven Realm, it was only the beginning of transcending the mundane, still carrying the word ‘mundane’. They still fell within the understanding of ordinary people and could theoretically still be killed using conventional technological weapons.
A Demigod, however, already had a touch of the divine.
A civilization can only stabilize itself by giving birth to Demigods, like a tree with a main trunk that can flourish and become lush.
If a civilization can produce a group of Demigods, then it can truly be considered powerful, standing tall between heaven and earth, fearless of most storms.
“According to the records, Xia Country gave birth to a total of three Demigods,” Number Three’s true body sat cross-legged in the inconspicuous house in the small town.
His consciousness was entirely focused on the ‘Blood Shadow Incarnation’, which blended into the rainy night and continued to move forward.
The Stealth speed of the Blood Shadow Incarnation was very slow.
It only moved a few hundred meters per second.
However, whether it was rivers and mountains along the way or the streets and houses of the towns they passed… mere terrain offered no obstacle to his progress.
“One, Dongfang Ji, stationed at Feixing.”
“One, Dantai Lie, guarding the entrance to the Wanhan Star Realm.”
“Only the oldest Star Lord Bai Shan remains, far away in the Central Capital of Xia Country. After I kill him and turn into a shadow to flee, Bai Shan will take at least ten minutes to arrive, and he won’t be able to track me,” Number Three thought to himself: “The other Flying Heavens secretly guarding? They can at most kill my Blood Shadow Incarnation.”
He had absolute confidence in the Star Techniques he practiced.
Star Techniques!
They were mighty powers developed based on the Star Meridians in the body, requiring immense Origin Power to drive… Any Star Technique, once mastered, held unbelievable power.
The stronger and more numerous the Star Meridians, the more potent and numerous the Star Techniques that can be cultivated.
The Life Star is the source, the Star Meridians are the foundation.
For instance, the two major Star Techniques that Number Three practiced, ‘Blood Shadow Star Technique’ and ‘Shadow Star Technique,’ allowed him to create ‘Blood Shadow Incarnations’ and to move unseen in darkness, respectively, both unique even among the Tianliang Clan.
Those two major Star Techniques, working together, had allowed him to breach the defenses guarded by Demigods of the Seven Stars human civilization and infiltrate Blue Star.
Direct combat? Number Three was rather average at the Flying Heaven level.
But under the combined effect of the two Star Techniques, he became an extremely terrifying Flying Heaven assassin.
This was also why the Tianliang Clan chose him for the task.
Choose any other Infiltrator? Spy? They would undoubtedly die facing the traps set by the Seven Stars human civilization.
Only Number Three, he was sufficiently confident.
About fifteen minutes later.
Number Three’s Blood Shadow Incarnation was gradually getting close to the location of Kunlun Martial University, becoming increasingly cautious in his movements.
“Many powerful beings.” Number Three’s consciousness, hidden in the Incarnation, carefully perceived his surroundings while concealing his aura.
He dared not release his spiritual power at all.
Kunlun Martial University, as one of the Seven Stars human civilization’s vital places, was constantly staffed by more than four Flying Heaven Warriors, each of whom… felt as scorching as the sun to Number Three’s senses.
Fortunately, the Blood Shadow Incarnation was not Number Three’s true form, carrying little of his Soul Power, difficult for other Flying Heaven levels to detect.
At the same time.
Number Three could also sense that there were some extremely terrifying things hidden within Kunlun Martial University.
“It’s the Origin Power Array, as expected, containing lethal attacks,” Number Three became even more vigilant.
Suddenly, his Blood Shadow Incarnation stopped, frowning: “The rainy night is conducive to my advance, the weather can interfere with one’s perception.”
“But today’s rain is far too heavy.”
Abnormally heavy.
Downpours like this in the northwest of Xia Country during winter?
But Number Three didn’t think much of it, as so far, he hadn’t noticed anything particularly out of the ordinary.
Time passed.
Finally, Number Three infiltrated outside the villa area belonging to the Sixth Institute, but he dared not be the slightest bit careless.
“As expected, there is a Flying Heaven level existence closely guarding, such obvious spiritual fluctuation.” Number Three continued as the map directed.
At this moment.
He was only about 500 meters away from Li Yuan’s villa, and he didn’t dare to get any closer because he sensed a Flying Heaven level presence within that villa.
The aura didn’t seem very strong, but it undoubtedly belonged to the Flying Heaven level.
“Wait!” Number Three was very patient, completely concealing his own aura, blending perfectly into the darkness.
Instead, he felt reassured.
If there were indeed an enormous trap laid, the Seven Stars human civilization would not leave such a glaring loophole.
“Perhaps, the Seven Stars human civilization’s lethal trap is intended to lure top-grade Origin Martial Artists into attacking,” Number Three thought.
Time continued to flow.
The rain gradually lessened, and the clouds covering Kunlun Martial University began to disperse, revealing the first light of dawn.
A new day, which seemed to promise good weather.
This Blood Shadow Incarnation was now completely concealed, with both blood circulation and heartbeats nearly nonexistent.
He silently stared at the beautiful villa.
Waiting for the villa owner to come out, or for the Flying Heaven level bodyguard to leave.
He waited until daylight grew brighter.
Around eight o’clock in the morning, the clouds had completely cleared, the villa’s surroundings were tranquil, with only the sounds of birds and insects.
Occasionally, some students would leave the other villas.
Finally.
At Villa No. 61032, the Logistics Department’s delivery staff brought meals to the front door.
Soon the door moved, and a young man dressed in a black practice outfit walked out.

“It’s Li Yuan, he is… a Flying Heaven level soul?” Number Three was shocked to his core as he watched intently.
He was able to sense other Flying Heaven level beings by feeling their spiritual fluctuations, a secret technique he had cultivated.
Number Three then realized what had happened from last night until now.
The ‘Flying Heaven level Guardian’ he believed in was actually Li Yuan himself!!
This was absolutely staggering news.
A First Rank Martial Artist, possessing a Flying Heaven level soul? Perhaps some Demigods could pay a great price to accomplish this, but what would be the point?
Normally no one would do such a thing.
Many thoughts flashed through Number Three’s mind as he considered all the possibilities.
The next instant.
“Kill!” Number Three’s Blood Shadow Incarnation acted in a flash, without a hint of murderous intent, the sword was already thrust out abruptly.
“Swoosh!” There was not the slightest disturbance in the air.
Five hundred meters?
For a Flying Heaven level being, they could easily fly at the speed of sound, and even several times faster when going all out.
In just one second, Number Three’s Blood Shadow Incarnation would be able to kill Li Yuan.
Resist? No matter how skilled you are as a First Rank Warrior, there is no chance of survival.
Chi~
In an instant, Number Three’s Blood Shadow figure had already covered three hundred meters, leaving less than two hundred meters remaining.
At that moment, Li Yuan had just received his breakfast from the delivery person.
“You’re as good as dead.” The eyes of the Blood Shadow Incarnation turned icy, and a thread of killing intent finally revealed itself. Explore new worlds at M V L
…
“Thank you,” Li Yuan said politely, taking the breakfast.
Suddenly, his pupils contracted, as his overwhelmingly powerful spiritual power instantly sensed something.
Danger!
Extreme danger!
Li Yuan instinctively looked up.
He saw a nearly transparent figure crossing the vast sky in a flash, a sword whistling as it thrust straight at him.
With one glance, the assailant had closed in by dozens of meters again.
“Not good,” Li Yuan thought, greatly alarmed.
In the blink of an eye, Li Yuan instinctively cast the Spiritual Secret Technique, “Soul Shock.”
Escape? Li Yuan’s mind reacted quickly, but his body was too slow to support any attempt at escape.
“Boom!” An overwhelming wave of spiritual fluctuation swept out like a river in flood, crashing into the Blood Shadow Incarnation’s consciousness.
It could only slightly affect it.
As an incarnation of a Flying Heaven level being, Number Three’s cultivated Blood Shadow Incarnation, despite containing little soul power, was still of the Flying Heaven level… Blocking Li Yuan’s spiritual shock wasn’t difficult.
At that moment.
“Die.” Number Three could no longer hide his murderous intent.
Just as Number Three thought his success was inevitable and Li Yuan believed his death was certain,
suddenly
Boom!
The vast sky seemed to darken, as if dense clouds and rain were enveloping it; both Li Yuan and Number Three’s Blood Shadow Incarnation instinctively sent out a thread of their consciousness.
They both sensed it.
“Whoosh!”
It was a drop of rain!
From a kilometer high in the sky, a drop of rain hurtled towards them. This drop was moving so quickly, far surpassing Number Three’s Blood Shadow Incarnation’s burst… Ten times the speed of sound? Twenty times?
“What?” Li Yuan was stunned for a moment, as he vaguely saw many mysteries within that fleeting raindrop, containing the utmost beauty and truth of the universe, inspiring longing and reverence.
It was like the ancient saying, ‘Hear the Way in the morning, and you can die content in the evening.’
At that moment, from that single raindrop, Li Yuan had a vague glimpse of ‘the Way’, an origin of everything he sought after.
A single raindrop!
Insignificant at a glance, but when it embodies profound and supreme mystery, it holds an incomparable might.
“Puchi!”
The raindrop had crossed the heavens and earth, landing on the forehead of Number Three’s Blood Shadow Incarnation, where a flicker of terror flashed through his eyes.
“The Law? It’s the legendary Law’s Profound Meaning!” Number Three’s consciousness dissipated instantly.
Hum~
In silence, the body, nearly transparent and with a robe faintly tinged with blood-red, burst apart like a bubble.
Only weapons and Combat Armor fell to the ground.
A single raindrop!
A Flying Heaven level force had fallen.
“This?” Li Yuan was stunned, swallowing reflexively.
The delivery person beside him was even more baffled, far weaker and not even fully realizing what had just occurred.
“That was?”
Li Yuan looked up towards the sky, not having noticed before, but now finally seeing clearly.
At a kilometer’s height, a young figure in black clothes was standing in mid-air.
Eye contact!
As Li Yuan looked up at him, the black-clothed figure also looked down, peering at Li Yuan.
Boom!
Li Yuan felt as if his very soul were thundering, his entire spiritual view dominated by the presence of the figure in black.
A Divine Being!
At that moment, to Li Yuan, the figure in black clothes seemed an omnipotent deity.
