High Martial Arts Era 398

## Chapter 398: Yuan Kingdom! Awakening Star Continent

“Hmm? Energy fluctuations? Seems to be moving very fast?” Li Yuan narrowed his eyes: “It’s a bit far away, I can’t sense it very clearly.”

Arriving in this mysterious world, his Divine Consciousness was suppressed, unable to probe very far.

If he encountered a powerful enemy, relying on his Divine Consciousness alone would only give him a half-second warning.

And what about his eyes? They would be obstructed by various things. Just looking at the enormous trees in the canyon, Li Yuan could tell that this world was extraordinary.

But what Li Yuan excelled at was the mystery of space!

The seven fundamental Laws, each had its own specialty. Like the Water Law was best at defense, the Wood Law had the strongest vitality, and the Wind Law was the fastest… But the Space Law, as the origin of all Laws, was all-encompassing and powerful.

Just in terms of sensing and probing, it far surpassed other Laws and Paths.

You see, Li Yuan’s understanding of the mysteries of space was equivalent to the ‘Seven-Section Intermediate’ level of other fundamental Laws.

“Rumble…”

In just a few seconds, Li Yuan could feel the fluctuations getting closer, and the canyon floor trembled slightly… As if a group of ferocious creatures were trampling through the canyon.

Li Yuan looked up at the mountains on both sides of the canyon.

“Li Yuan, don’t fly upwards,” Gu You’s voice echoed in Li Yuan’s mind: “Don’t worry, I just activated the sensing function of the Ancient Divine Palace. The ones coming are all Heavenly Flight level, they shouldn’t be a threat to you… This place seems to be a terrifying secret realm. In the high mountains, or even in the sky, there should be extremely powerful Source Power formations.”

“Once you fly to the high mountains, you might encounter Source Power formations attacks. Be careful.”

“Understood.” Li Yuan was startled, but also felt a surge of joy.

He couldn’t control the Ancient Divine Palace, but Gu You could.

The Ancient Divine Palace, as the ‘True Artifact of Legacy’ left by the ancient torch deity, had many magical uses.

Moreover, without Gu You reminding him, Li Yuan had already noticed many special things about this world.

“The trees, the rocks, they all seem to be stronger than the materials on Blue Star.” Li Yuan manipulated the power of heaven and earth, sensing the various substances around him, and he discovered that these materials were special.

They were very tough, far surpassing Blue Star.

Secondly, the gravity of this world seemed to be much stronger than Blue Star… On Blue Star, a Source Warrior could jump over a hundred meters high with a single leap, but here, Li Yuan estimated that a top-tier Source Warrior could only jump a dozen meters at most.

“Under such an environment, the trees can still grow thousands of meters high. If they were on Blue Star, they would probably be protected and studied.” Li Yuan thought to himself: “Living under such incredible gravity, all living beings will be much stronger.”

Creatures must adapt to their environment in order to survive.

“But this constraint shouldn’t have much impact on top-tier strong individuals.” Li Yuan thought: “Heavenly Flight level will still be affected, their flight speed will slow down a lot… The influence on demigods will be much smaller.”

Just as Li Yuan was thinking.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The earth trembled violently, many trees fell, boulders were thrown into the air, and dozens of figures appeared in Li Yuan’s field of vision.

Leading the way were over ten human figures, most of them wearing battle armor, but the colors of the armors varied, quite mixed.

Most of them were holding weapons, like warriors, but at this moment, these warriors were mostly pale and panicked.

“Run!”

“Escape!”

“Bad luck, why did we encounter so many Heavenly Flight peak beasts?”

“Are we going to die in the ‘Abyssal Demon Blood Cave’? We haven’t even hunted a single beast, it’s so unfair.”

These warriors were fleeing in a panic, communicating with each other through Source Power, fearing they would be too slow to escape.

It was no wonder.

Originally, there were more than a hundred people gathered together, thinking it would be safer, but when there were more people, they made too much noise, attracting a large group of monsters. They were instantly killed off by half, and the remaining were being hunted.

“Roar!” “Howl!!” Behind the ten human figures were even more numerous, and generally stronger, terrifying beasts, each with a unique form. Some resembled tigers and leopards, some like flying snakes, and there were even monsters with human faces and beast bodies.

The common characteristic of these monsters was their eyes, glowing red, appearing extremely ferocious.

“Poof!”

“Puff!” Two human figures who were slow to escape were instantly bitten by a ferocious beast’s gaping maw. Their bodies were torn apart in an instant.

Blood splattered everywhere, the smell of blood spreading out, further stimulating the ferocity of more beasts, making them appear even more frenzied.

“Look, there’s someone in front!”

“He seems to be Heavenly Flight level too.”

“He’s such a fool, he doesn’t know how to run, he’s still watching us.”

“He’s asking for death!” These human warriors all thought that the young man in black armor was very stupid.

How dare he stand there foolishly in the face of such a large group of beasts? He didn’t even know to run.

But these human warriors didn’t have the leisure to care. They were all madly fleeing.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

They quickly rushed to the area where Li Yuan was, and the beasts behind them, running wildly, were getting closer and closer.

“Rip! Roar!” One of the beasts, resembling a lizard, flicked its tail, its four paws stomped heavily on a boulder, and its massive body, over thirty meters long, turned into a streak of light, instantly charging towards Li Yuan, opening its mouth wide to bite down.

“That foolish boy is dead.”

“What a fool!” Those human warriors, witnessing this scene, had various thoughts in their minds.

The next scene, however, left these human warriors dumbfounded.

“Hum…”

Li Yuan’s eyes turned dark, and an invisible soul wave swept across the several kilometers of the canyon floor.

In an instant!

The faces of those ferocious beasts all flashed with a look of terror, and then their eyes dimmed one after another.

BOOM~!!! “BOOM!” The bodies of over thirty beasts instantly became weak, and they all fell from mid-air.

Their massive bodies, following their momentum, either smashed into a large number of trees, or hit the ground, causing the earth to tremble, and rocks to fly everywhere.

Eventually, they all became motionless.

“These beasts, their life levels are not low, but their intelligence seems to be very weak, they were killed so easily by my soul attack?” Li Yuan’s eyes flashed with surprise.

Facing this large group of beasts, Li Yuan had directly used his soul technique, ‘Searing Heart Blade.’

You see, back when Li Yuan’s soul level was 45, he could already kill Heavenly Flight Intermediate warriors with soul attacks.

Now, Li Yuan’s soul will had reached level 49, and his Law comprehension was far beyond the past, he had a deeper understanding of souls, and the power of ‘Searing Heart Blade’ was much stronger than before.

Normally, Li Yuan would have a high chance of soul killing a Heavenly Flight Peak with this technique.

But this was too easy. One attack instantly killed nearly ten Heavenly Flight Peak beasts, and over twenty Heavenly Flight Middle-level beasts?

Immediately, Li Yuan judged that these beasts were not normal cultivators, their resistance to soul attacks was much weaker.

“This place, so many Heavenly Flight Peaks just pop up like this? These human warriors are also all Heavenly Flight level. Even in the Divine Realm, the number of strong individuals on a normal planet wouldn’t be this abundant, right?” Li Yuan was confused.

As far as he knew, even in the Divine Realm, normally, a planet would only have dozens to hundreds of demigods.

There were many Heavenly Flight level, but they shouldn’t be rampant to this extent.

Where the heck is this?

Thinking about this, Li Yuan looked towards the over ten human figures not far away. Their eyes were full of confusion.

Because!

At the moment when he soul-killed those beasts, Li Yuan had already used ‘Mind Soul’ to temporarily control these human warriors.

These human warriors, generally Heavenly Flight Middle-level, were mostly level 33, 34.

Those weaker? They had already been killed by those beasts.

With Li Yuan’s strength, it was still possible to make them fall into an illusion in a short period of time.

Whoosh!

Li Yuan moved, and he was already in front of a burly figure, he was only level 32, the weakest of this group of humans.

He was trapped in Li Yuan’s ‘Mind Soul’ and couldn’t wake up at all.

“Tell me.” Li Yuan asked through soul communication: “Where is this place, and where are you from? Who is the strongest person you know, what is the strongest force?”

Soul communication, perceiving each other’s mental fluctuations, didn’t require language.

“This is the Abyssal Demon Blood Cave, I’m from Tangle County of Yuan Kingdom.” The burly man’s eyes were dazed, he was transmitting information through his soul, while also muttering to himself: “The Awakening Star Continent is vast and boundless, it is said that there are countless life stars outside the heavens, countless strong individuals, but it is said that the lord of my Yuan Kingdom is one of the peak strong individuals on the continent. He has been stationed in Yuan Kingdom for over ten thousand years, there are many countries on the continent, I don’t know which one is the strongest…”

Li Yuan’s face changed slightly when he heard the burly man’s words: “Divine Realm language?”

The burly man spoke in the common language of the Divine Realm.

You see, both the information provided by Gu You and Qiu Bingzun included the ‘common language of the Divine Realm.’ With Li Yuan’s soul strength, he could learn it in a very short time, he had already learned it, it was just that he couldn’t speak it very fluently.

But understanding it was no problem.

“Could it be that I’ve come to the Divine Realm?” Li Yuan was shocked.

“Don’t worry, Li Yuan.” Gu You’s voice echoed in Li Yuan’s mind: “The vast expanse of heaven and earth, many powerful civilizations in the Mortal Realm will use the common language of the Divine Realm… Some super strong individuals open up worlds, the creatures living within their worlds will also use the common language of the Divine Realm, it doesn’t necessarily mean that they have come to the Divine Realm.”

“Keep asking!”

“You were teleported to this so-called ‘Awakening Star Continent,’ so this continent must hold secrets.” Gu You said: “Arriving in a strange world, the first thing to do is to understand this world, only then can you explore the deeper secrets.”

“Mhm.”

…

Time passed, and Li Yuan simultaneously questioned these over ten human warriors through soul techniques.

Soul communication was incredibly fast.

Half an hour later, Li Yuan had already learned a lot of information about this world, and he had also obtained quite a few books, information crystal stones, and so on from these human warriors’ ‘storage treasures.’

“That’s enough.” A hint of fatigue flashed in Li Yuan’s eyes.

Controlling so many Heavenly Flight level for an extended period of time was still very draining on his soul strength.

“Abyssal Demon Blood Cave? To leave, you need three beast heads as proof?” Li Yuan thought, his eyes sharp as swords.

POOF! POOF! POOF!

The bodies of all the beasts were instantly ripped apart, as if they were injured by sharp weapons. This was to cover up the traces of soul killing.

Immediately, three beast heads flew up, and were collected by Li Yuan into his storage treasure.

“I’ve given you so much information, so let me give you a chance.” Li Yuan’s gaze swept across these human warriors.

After doing all of this.

Whoosh!

Li Yuan moved, his speed instantly surged to over eight kilometers per second, and he disappeared at the end of the canyon.

A few seconds later.

“What happened?”

“What happened to us just now?”

“I feel like I had a very long dream.”

“It feels like someone asked me a lot of questions, but I can’t remember what I said.” These over ten warriors gradually woke up, and they were soon frightened by the countless dead beast corpses without any vital signs, several kilometers away. They were all shocked.

These people were Heavenly Flight level, after all, not complete fools.

They quickly analyzed it.

“A master!”

“We must have been saved by some kind of super master!”

“Could it be the foolish boy just now? It must be him. I was wrong, he wasn’t foolish at all, he was a super master.”

“He directly killed all these beasts? How cruel.” These Heavenly Flight level were full of awe.

He was too ruthless.

Then, this group of human warriors got excited: “The heads of these beasts, most of them weren’t cut off by that master, maybe he doesn’t think they are worth it.”

“Quick!”

“They’re all ours.” The over ten human warriors rushed towards those beast heads like they were crazy.

For them, beast heads represented wealth and opportunity.

Even, these human warriors who were just fleeing together, actually started fighting each other.

…

Along the canyon with numerous forks, Li Yuan rushed out for hundreds of kilometers in one go, before finally stopping, sitting down on a boulder on a hillside.

“Sister Gu You!”

“You should have heard it.” Li Yuan’s eyes shone, he said in a low voice: “Starry Sky Ancient City!”

“That level 35 warrior with the strongest strength just now said that he had heard of a Starry Sky Ancient City in the starry sky beyond the heavens, which is the strongest force above the three thousand divine kingdoms.”

“Could it be, we really came to the Divine Realm?”
