These black exotic beasts had no signs of life, but they were no different from real creatures.
Their appearance was similar to rats, with bodies the size of cats, and their strength generally ranged around level 15 or 16.
The stronger ones could reach around level 18, but there were very few of such elites.
Individually, their strength was far inferior to that of a Prime Warrior, but they had the advantage of terrifying numbers, swarming like a torrent, possibly in the thousands.
If an ordinary Prime Warrior didn’t break out immediately, once they were encircled, they would be devoured in the blink of an eye.
What a pity!
They had encountered Li Yuan, and the present Li Yuan was indeed terrifyingly powerful.
With a physical quality of 23.7 levels, combined with the True Intent Killing Move, “Star River Whirlwind,” the strength he exploded with was simply horrifying.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Countless black exotic beasts collided and subsequently died in groups, blood flowing like rivers… yet they couldn’t stop Li Yuan’s advance, who moved hundreds of meters in the blink of an eye.
No one knew how many black exotic beasts died under the Black Chen Spear.
“What a pity, these fellows have no life signs,” Li Yuan murmured to himself, “Otherwise, my Spiritual Awakening Level could definitely have risen to 40%.”
But it wasn’t completely fruitless.
“Just up ahead.” Li Yuan had already truly sensed it with his powerful spiritual power.
Right up ahead!
It was the energy fluctuation of an Earth Origin Crystal—the strange and mysterious aura, something Li Yuan would never forget in his lifetime.
Suddenly.
“Hm?” Li Yuan’s eyes focused, and his Long Spear danced like lightning, the spear tip bursting with cold gleam, resembling starlight bursting forth, containing terrifying might.
He thrust straight toward what was in front of him.
The next moment.
“Howl~~” A piercing howl followed as a huge, nearly one meter tall black exotic beast burst forth from the multitude of beasts like lightning, brandishing its sharp claws, trying to withstand the blow from the black Long Spear.
The two forces collided in an instant.
At the moment of collision!
“Roar~~” A flicker of panic crossed the eyes of the exotic beast leader, who felt a terrifying force instantly charging through its tough skin, comparable to an Origin Power Battle Suit. Although the force couldn’t tear its skin,
more than half of that terrifying force penetrated its skin, impacting every part of its bones and flesh.
It was as if a person was hit by a stick right in the chest. It seemed like the skin wasn’t broken, but in reality, the internal organs were all shattered… The exotic beast leader was the same, blood oozing from the corner of its mouth.
Too terrifying.
“Sizzle! Sizz~” The exotic beast leader, like a streak of black light, was sent flying backward, trying to flee.
“Flee?” Li Yuan’s eyes turned cold.
With his Divine Sense, he had already completely locked onto the exotic beast leader. His figure burst forth with no reservation, as the Vigor throughout his body fully unleashed.
Nearly 500,000 kilograms of Explosive Power!
Boom!
Li Yuan’s legs forcefully propelled him forward, his terrifying power causing the ground to fracture layer by layer. In the state of Unity of Heaven and Man, he moved with a speed surpassing 260 meters per second.

Whoosh! His Long Spear swept across, and a swath of black exotic beasts exploded into pieces.
Turning into a sky of blood mist.
The final spear thrust pierced the Vast Sky, like lightning stabbing through, instantly going through the body of the beast leader that was fleeing in mid-air, entering from the rear.
Piercing the heart and exiting out the throat!
The exotic beast leader was dead!
In an instant.
The vast number of black exotic beasts that were still howling and charging at Li Yuan like a tide suddenly stopped.
“Splurt~” With a twist of the spear, Li Yuan completely crushed the internal organs of the beast leader, then withdrew his Long Spear with lightning speed.
“Thump~”
The massive body of the beast leader fell to the ground with a heavy thud, and after a brief two seconds of silence,
in the face of their leader’s death, the thousands of black exotic beasts fled in all directions like a receding tide.
Li Yuan did not stop them.
Killing these black exotic beasts conferred no benefits as they weren’t even living beings… who knew what they were.
Unable to obtain Spiritual Nutrients, why bother fighting to the death?
You should know that despite Li Yuan’s seemingly unstoppable and violent combat, the consumption of Origin Power was also incredibly high.
“If I can save some strength, I will. Who knows if there will be more dangers ahead,” Li Yuan thought to himself.
Though very confident in his own strength, Li Yuan adhered to the idea that “caution is the parent of safety,” never daring to be careless in the slightest.
“Let’s go!”
With the retreat of the numerous black exotic beasts, nothing could stop Li Yuan anymore… He proceeded on his way, marching several kilometers in the darkness, the path narrowing on both sides as if entering a cave.
Complete darkness!
Li Yuan could no longer rely on his eyes to see and had to depend on his “Divine Sense” for detection.
The ground was still flat; by now, Li Yuan was almost certain that this gorge’s bottom was man-made.
Finally.
In the midst of the darkness, Li Yuan suddenly stopped. He had reached the end… Through his Divine Sense, he detected a huge stone wall in front of him.
No! To be more precise, it was a stone gate about ten meters high.
“Is this?” Li Yuan was shocked: “Could this so-called large vein of Divine Crystals actually be an artificial relic?”
It was puzzling.
Despite having reviewed many records in the Starfire Martial Hall’s database, Li Yuan, being new to the role of a Prime Warrior, still had a limited world view.
“The aura of the Earth Origin Crystal is coming through the cracks in the stone gate,” Li Yuan was astonished, “and yet, my Divine Sense cannot penetrate this stone gate?”
Apparently impenetrable to Divine Sense despite the presence of cracks?
This was beyond Li Yuan’s comprehension.
“Let’s give it a try,” Li Yuan said to himself. Having come this far, there was no turning back.
Whoosh!
Li Yuan placed his palms on the stone gate, positioned his legs slightly bent, and then the muscles and bones throughout his body burst forth with power, muscles bulging and Origin Power erupting!
