Returning from the Divine Palace ruins, Li Yuan was already aware of the recent situation: nearly ten thousand First Rank Martial Artists from the Seven Star Civilization were stationed in the World within Worlds.
Carrying out inquiries almost everywhere.
At the several hundred explored exits, warriors were left on guard, positioned there as a precaution.
However, in the days since Li Yuan emerged from the ruins, the Seven Star Civilization hadn’t suffered any attacks.
So subconsciously, Li Yuan had assumed that Gu Yue Divine Kingdom had given up.
At least for the upcoming year, during the time he’d still be staying in the World within Worlds, he didn’t expect any further assaults.
“I didn’t expect them to be waiting for us here.”
“The number of exit points issuing alarms has surpassed 164?” Li Yuan glanced at his smart wristband, where various data was continuously updating.
A hint of murderous intent crossed his eyes.
All of this could only mean one thing—the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom had launched a full-scale attack.
All of a sudden.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Whoosh! Several figures flashed by and had already arrived outside Li Yuan’s tent. It was Alicia, Si Feng, and Kross.
“Li Yuan.”
“Li Yuan.” The three looked at the tent without barging in.
Whoosh!
Li Yuan stood up, and with a move, he was already outside the tent.
“There’s nothing much to say, you all must have received the message,” Li Yuan said gravely, “The Gu Yue Divine Kingdom has been silent for so long. By daring to attack again, it shows they are confident in fighting us.”
“They even believe they can annihilate us,” Li Yuan stated gravely.
Alicia, Si Feng, and Kross couldn’t help but nod in agreement.
“Each of you lead a team, according to the intelligence pointers, to engage in battle and try to clear them out,” Li Yuan said indifferently.
“Li Yuan, what about you?” Alicia couldn’t help asking.
“I will stay outside the Relic Divine Palace.”
Li Yuan revealed a faint smile, “No matter what tactics the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom has… their ultimate goal must be to send top-notch talents into the Relic Divine Palace.”
“After all, the ultimate treasure of the Fire System Divine resides within the ruins of the Divine Palace,” Li Yuan said. “Their top talents, after completing their breakthrough, will certainly come here.”
“If I were to join you all in clearing out those First Rank warriors… we might give them the chance to slip into the Relic Divine Palace,” Li Yuan said, “The loss would outweigh the gain.”
Exchanging glances, the three found Li Yuan’s rationale sound.
“Of course, if you encounter an unbeatable supermaster, send me a message, and I will come as quickly as possible,” Li Yuan said.
Any master that could defeat Si Feng and Alicia was certainly no ordinary opponent.
“Alright.”
“With Li Yuan guarding here, we need not worry,” they said.
“Let’s go. If we can’t win against Li Yuan, can’t we still slaughter a bunch of First Rank Martial Artists?” Si Feng said cheerfully, as this journey in the World within Worlds was also a trial for them.
Just then.
Quite abruptly.
The smart wristbands of the four vibrated again, and they all couldn’t help but look down; Si Feng and the others’ expressions changed instantly.
“A Prime Warrior has died?”
“How is that possible! A Prime Warrior killed in such a short time?” Alicia and Kross were somewhat shocked.
It was understood that the strong individuals from Gu Yue Divine Kingdom who entered were only at the First Order Limit.
In terms of power and speed, they were absolutely at a disadvantage compared to the Prime Warriors.
“To kill a Prime Warrior so swiftly, with not a single message sent back, it’s likely a Fifth Stage Intermediate Rank technique, or even more sophisticated,” Li Yuan whispered.
“Let’s go.”
“Take advantage of the fact that they haven’t broken through yet, and try to track and kill them,” Si Feng, Kross, and Alicia quickly departed.
Only a group of First Rank warriors remained, continuing their patrol in the area, on alert.
Li Yuan stayed where he was.
“What a pity.”
“The Boundary Spirit can’t grant me the inquiry privilege over the entire World within Worlds,” Li Yuan murmured to himself, seemingly speaking to the air.
There was no response.
But Li Yuan believed the Boundary Spirit could hear him… it just wasn’t willing to give him the inquiry privilege.
After all, whether it was the Seven Star Civilization or the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom, it truly didn’t care about their conflicts and killings.
Even if billions died.
To it, those would just be numbers.
Its purpose was to select a Direct Disciple of a Divine, strong enough, with high enough talent… Does it matter which dimensional civilization this disciple comes from?
“After all, I am only a disciple accepted after the master’s death,” Li Yuan thought to himself.
This True Phoenix Divine was a follower of the Ancient Torch Divine, and it didn’t necessarily have to listen to him.
“Continue cultivating.”
“As long as I am strong enough, I can easily suppress the entire World within Worlds,” Li Yuan sat down cross-legged, quickly calming his mind.
“Since the enemy has attacked.”
“It’s time to enhance my strength,” In Li Yuan’s mind emerged the many cultivation tips of the Fifth Layer Star Technique, “Stellar Mysterious Body,” along with the most important ‘Star Mark.’
…
About 270 kilometers away from the Relic Divine Palace, in an ancient pathway filled with sand and stones.
On the ground, there were bodies scattered haphazardly.
A sultry woman in a fiery red Battle Garment, with a strong and curvaceous figure, gently wiped the fresh blood off her long sword.
“A Prime Warrior? The strength was decent, but too bad they encountered me,” The woman’s eyes were cold.
Suddenly.
The device on her shoulder trembled slightly, transmitting a voice: “Freya, how’s it going?”
“Ran into a bit of trouble,” The sultry woman replied softly, “No big issue, it’s already been dealt with, but they carried ‘life locators’; the Prime Warrior’s death would’ve surely alerted the enemy, they’re probably coming to capture me now.”
As she was speaking.
Whoosh!
The woman had turned into a streak of light, rushing toward the exit of the passage, her voice steady and relaxed, “Roman, what about you?”
“I’ve escaped and am now in Stealth mode,” The voice came through the device, “But Muba is being besieged, facing a super master of the Seven Star Civilization, likely to be doomed.”
