"The Seven-Star Civilization is weakening."

  "After all, it's also the civilization that gave birth to many demigods. In a fourth-level civilization, it's considered extremely strong." The sturdy red-haired man said in a low voice: "At least it won't be weaker than our Gu Yue Divine Nation."

  "Lei Wu, are you going or am I?" The robust red-haired man looked at the slender purple-robed figure.

  This time, Gu Yue Shen's national decree was led by the two of them as the vanguard.

  "I'll go."

  The figure in the purple robe stood up, its voice low and solemn: "Whether I am here or not makes little difference. You continue to study the relics here, I will go hunt down the genius of the Seven Star Civilization."

  "These days, they have been sending in large numbers of first-class warriors. It's about time to get serious." said the tall and thin figure in purple robes.

  "Meika, Dongming, you both follow me." said Lei Wu, a tall and slender figure in purple robes.

  "Yes." The two people who had been silent all along stood up.

  "Right, Tiemur." The slender figure in purple robes gazed at the robust red-haired man: "Quickly seek help from Duke Xuan Tian, with less than three hundred of us, we can't hold so many entrance passages."

  "This relic, for the time being, we probably can't figure it out."

  "If Ming Tian Hou wants to thoroughly occupy this place, he must send at least a few thousand first-class warriors and hundreds of Yuan Wu warriors." Lei Wu said in a low voice.

  "Uh-huh, I'll pass on the message to General Qingtian." The robust red-haired man, Zheng, nodded his head.

  Whoosh! Whoosh!

  A figure in a purple robe, tall and thin, quickly led two Yuanwu practitioners, following the map they had recorded over the past few days.

  Hurry to channel 38.

  The entire region is desolate and barren, with endless Gobi Desert and almost no vegetation.

  Only when the crimson sun shone over the earth, there was no such thing as night, as if it were a rough and newly born world.

  There is no native life here, and the view stretches out endlessly.

  At the initial stage of Yuan Wu Zhe's speed, they can easily reach 120 meters per second in one second.

  200 kilometers? It can be reached in half an hour at most.

  Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

  The three great sources of martial arts move forward like lightning.

  "Dongming, Makka, contact everyone at all times." The tall and thin man in purple robe was giving orders while rushing: "Use the 'Life Sign Detector' to check who has died at any time."

  "At the same time, order everyone to abandon their posts at the exit of the passage and gather around us three, then concentrate on searching and killing." The tall, thin figure in purple robes said.

  "I understand."

  These geniuses of the Gu Yue Shen Kingdom have realized that after being ambushed for nearly two days, the Seven Star Civilization has begun to counterattack... In terms of individual strength, people like Lei Wu, Dong Ming, and Mai Ka are extremely confident.

  But in this half-day, a strong man from the Seven-Star Civilization came in like a tide along a passage, still putting great pressure on the Gu Yue Shen National Team.

  Even with the strong overall strength of the Gu Yue God team, having killed more than 600 first-class warriors of the Seven Star Civilization... their own casualties are also increasing continuously.

  So, Lei Wu has realized that he must gather his strength and strike back with all his might.

  "These first-rate warriors are nothing to worry about."

  "What we need to do is find the top geniuses of the Seven Star Alliance." Lei Wu's goal was very clear: "The Seven Star Civilization is no match for us, their talents suitable for war... there won't be too many, and every time they lose one, it will hurt them for a long time."

  ……

  Time flies.

  Guoyue Shen Guo was forced to start shrinking its power and concentrate on clearing up.

  The great army of the Seven Star Civilization was gradually gaining control of the initiative with its absolute numerical advantage... A large amount of intelligence gathered.

  In personal martial arts training in a large number of first-class warriors, the role has never been to fight positively... but as intelligence.

  Li Yuan and Alicia, no matter how strong they are, cannot penetrate every region within the boundary.

  However, 5,000 first-class warriors can!

  Thousands of first-class warriors, like a large net cast out, conducted a grid search at the fastest speed to find the personnel of Gu Yue Shen Guo and then report the intelligence to the hundred Yuan Wu Zhe.

  The seven great geniuses.

  After killing two Yuanwu practitioners, Liyuan rushed all the way and quickly rushed out of the underground cave that stretched for about two kilometers, closely followed by a rapid departure.

  His outerwear had changed to a 'yellowish-brown' color, almost blending in with the surrounding earth.

  Escaped by flying for twenty kilometers.

  "It's here." Li Yuan found an inconspicuous large crack in the ground amidst a vast expanse of Gobi.

  His gaze swept over the surrounding area of several kilometers again, confirming that everything was fine.

  Whoosh!

  Li Yuan directly drilled into a two-meter wide crevice and quickly dug out a small cave in the stone wall on one side of the crevice.

  Just enough to hide Li Yuan.

  Sit cross-legged on the floor.

  Spiritual power fully released, divine consciousness sensing within a radius of 100 meters, and faintly perceiving intense fluctuations within a radius of one kilometer.

  "Unless there is also a flying soul."

  "Or else, they must have cultivated a very special secret technique, otherwise it would be impossible to approach me within 100 meters without making a sound." Li Yuan thought to himself: "Secondly, the place I'm waiting at is more than 20 kilometers away from where I came out, so the probability of being discovered should also be very small."

  Everything is clear in mind.

  Cultivation is a major event, especially when advancing from the first stage to the second stage, which is a leap in the essence of life. Li Yuan naturally had to be cautious.

  It's better to make progress slowly than to make a single mistake.

  "Just as Coach Xu said, to kill the enemy, you must tear apart their limbs and head. Li Yuan silently recalled his teacher's teachings: 'Be cautious of your enemies, never underestimate them.'"

  Li Yuan closed his eyes.

  "The breakthrough was due to Wu Zhe." Li Yuan gently closed his eyes, and his spiritual energy had already sensed the three Star Meridians in his body.

  A thought occurred to him.

  Humm... Three stellar meridians rotate simultaneously.

  A mighty stellar vein, countless light points linked into a line, dazzling.

  The other two Star Veins have also awakened recently, with very few light points, but they are also indispensable.

  "The stars revolve and move."

  "Unleash the Ocean of Source Power." Li Yuan fully activated his three Star Meridians, and according to the Wudang Database's numerous techniques and seniors' experiences, his meridians began frantically absorbing external source power.

  Rumble...

  The original source of power remaining in Li Yuan's star pulse began to accumulate and multiply endlessly... These sources of power remained in the star pulse, circulating throughout his body with it.

  If it were before, with the source force circulating, Li Yuan's flesh and blood would frantically devour like a glutton, but now they are all full, and can't absorb for a short time.

  Xīng mài, no way to store a large amount of yuan force, can only be stored in small amounts.

  "Pressure."

  "Every part of his body was squeezed by the three-star meridian rotation." Li Yuan felt uncomfortable in his body.

  It's just like how people need to eat every day. If they don't eat, they'll be hungry, but if they eat too much after being full, they'll feel bloated... and might even burst their stomach!

  Li Yuan is like this now.

  "Continue!" Li Yuan was still operating the Stellar Pulse, frantically absorbing the external source energy.

  An hour later.

  "Rumble rumble ~" The source power in Li Yuan's three-star meridians was like a vast river, surging and circulating, with a large amount of source power still being compressed and accumulated.

  It's just like a big dam, after repeated water storage to reach the highest water level, there is already a risk of bursting.

  Li Yuan is also like this now. At this moment, the source power in his body is too overbearing. If he is not careful, it may cause his body to collapse directly.

  "So much source power?"

  Li Yuan was shocked in his heart: "Hmph, more than 90% of the source power is accumulated by this perfect star pulse."

  Have read through a large amount of materials.

  Li Yuan clearly and normally broke through as a first-class warrior, mobilizing the three-star meridians to absorb the approximate source of power... far from his own.

  "Perfect Stellar Pulse!"

  "Other first-class limit warriors, when breaking through the source warrior for the first time, can awaken two or three star meridians at once. Li Yuan muttered to himself: "Where can they compare to my perfect star meridian?"

  It can be seen from the display of the Shinto shrine's panel alone.

  The cultivation efficiency of a perfect stellar vein is worth more than 20 first-level stellar veins that have just awakened... The scene of breaking through is naturally terrifying.

  "With so much source power, perhaps I'll have a huge increase in strength once I break through." A thought flashed across Li Yuan's mind.

  Finally.

  The source power accumulated by the three-star meridian has reached a certain limit... Li Yuan had a feeling, and at this moment he felt as if he was carrying a mountain on his back.

  Even slight movement of the body may lead to a risk of bodily disintegration.

  At this time, if other strong men from Guoyue God Country were to launch a surprise attack... that would be extremely dangerous.

  Fortunately, it was very quiet outside.

  "Break through!" Li Yuan's mind stirred, and the three star meridians' surging yuan force went crazy, simultaneously impacting a point in the lower abdomen dan Tian.

  This point is a must-pass place for the three-star meridian to rotate around the sky.

  "Rumble!"

  In an instant! As if the sky was collapsing and the earth was shattering, it seemed as though the heavens were opening up and the earth was splitting apart... The originally chaotic dan Tian suddenly exploded... This special space rapidly expanded, at its very core, forming a small, special space that existed between illusion and reality.

  "In the body, there is a point that accommodates the vast and mighty source energy like an ocean." Li Yuan suddenly had an epiphany: "This is the Sea of Source Energy."

  "From now on."

  "The power of the source is like having a solid foundation, constantly accumulating... and life also has the hope to leap to a higher level."

  Genryūkai, this is Genryū Kai!!

  In some sense, before the second order, it was just ordinary life.

  Only by opening up the source power of the sea can we take the first step on the 'path of transcendence'.

  "Continue!" Li Yuan's heart stirred and he continued his cultivation.

  Rumble...

  Three Star Veins' accumulated source power, began to frantically surge into the Sea of Source Power... causing the Sea of Source Power to continuously expand, and the source power continued to frantically accumulate.

  Hehehe ~ The source power in the ocean of source power surges, more and more, gradually like a huge vortex.

  A large amount of energy is drawn into a vortex, constantly being compressed and condensed.

  Gradually, the source power born in the center of the vortex is more pure and powerful than before.

  "This is the true Second-Order Source Power." Li Yuan thought to himself.

  At the same time.

  Whoosh! The newly transformed second-order source power, along with the special connection between the star pulse and the sea of source power, re-enters the star pulse, following its flow, and then flows into every corner of the body's limbs and joints.

  "Moisten the body."

  The moment the second-order yuan force surged into every part of his body, Li Yuan's body underwent a drastic change.

  The skeletal system, bone marrow, muscles, blood, fascia, skin, hair, etc. are all undergoing astonishing transformations under the nourishment of this powerful source.

  Change in the nature of life.

  Why is it that a normal first-class limit life has a standard fist strength of 70,000 kilograms full force, while a 20.0 class is 80,000 kilograms?

  It's because of a sudden breakthrough that the second-order source power will cause the body to undergo an extremely great transformation.

  This is a leap in the hierarchy of life.

  "Level 20! The first step to greatness." Li Yuan enjoyed this process, feeling quite delighted in his heart.

  When he was young, Li Yuan thought that Yuan Wu was incredibly powerful.

  At that time, the master of the Wu Temple in one district, the commander-in-chief of the martial arts team stationed in one place, and so on, were all from the Wu family.

  "Now I have also grown up to this point."

  "Just like the major martial universities, once you become a Yuanwu warrior, you can choose to graduate." Li Yuan also had a heroic spirit in his heart: "In some sense, Yuanwu warriors are all 'backbones' of the entire civilization. Those who truly have the qualifications to venture into various dangerous places are the vanguard of fighting against strong enemies from numerous foreign civilizations."

  Half a moment later, Li Yuan finally calmed down and continued to circulate his source energy, nourishing his physical body.

  This kind of leap in the essence of life.

  Its efficacy is no less than some of the best natural products, and it has no side effects.

  Even with the continuous improvement of physical fitness.

  Li Yuan could clearly feel that his own soul was also being nourished and was constantly becoming stronger.

  Only over ten minutes.

  Li Yuan could sense that his physical strength had soared by a large margin and had already reached the threshold of level 20.

  "Huh? Divine Palace Panel?" Li Yuan sensed the unusual change in the Divine Palace Panel.

  ——

  Life Rank: 20.1 (22.2) Tier (Second Order)

  Punching force: 83,000 kg

  Speed: 122.4 m/s

  Spiritual Power: 30.7 (31.4) grade

  Willpower: Level 33

  Spiritual Awakening Degree: 38.3% (Current Upper Limit 40%)

  Xīng Mài: 13th level (cultivation efficiency 10 + 0.5 + 0.5)

  Mastery Boundary: Gun Technique (5th Dan 42%), Body Technique (5th Dan 42%)

  Stellar Technique: Ninefold Stellar Technique 《True Understanding of Earth's Stellar Pulse》 (1st Stage 6th Level: 6th Level)

  ……

  "Life level breakthrough, reached 20th level, Divine Palace panel data changed I can understand." Li Yuan's heart was both shocked and puzzled: "But what are the notes in parentheses behind Life Level and Spiritual Power?"

  "Could it be that this is the highest level of life I can reach in such a short period of time?" Li Yuan wondered.

  It's normal for Li Yuan to have such an idea.

  Because!

  Normally, a first-class warrior enters the second class. When the source force sea opens up and the physical quality transforms to level 20, it will gradually stagnate... After that, one must slowly cultivate further.

  But at this moment, Li Yuan's life level has reached 20.1, and he can follow the star pulse rotation, that pure source of power... is still driving his physical quality to soar continuously.

  "High probability."

  "It's all thanks to the Perfect Stellaluna." Li Yuan was quite excited in his heart, this kind of physical quality surge was really cool.

  It's as if, from a past infant, in an extremely short period of time, grew into a robust man.

  "876,000 kilograms!"

  "912,000 kilograms."

  "966,000 kilograms." Li Yuan felt the transformation of his body and could also see the detailed changes in his standard punching power and spiritual strength on the divine palace panel.

  This is an unprecedented transformation.

  ……

  Ryūsei Star Boundary, War Fortress.

  Inside an ultra-large conference room.

  At this moment, gathered here, in addition to Wuma Nong and Yu Jinghe, there are four more figures.

  Two of them are very young, naturally Tavares and Abbot in Wu Ma Nong Kou.

  The other two had much stronger vital energy and looked much older in appearance.

  It was the two flying heaven-level powerhouses of the Lieyan family who stayed in the Lieyu Star Boundary - Yan Yunhu, Yan Junling.

  "Old wizard, how's the situation?" Tavares, with a stature as majestic as that of a war god, said in a low tone.

  He and Abbott have just arrived and are still getting up to speed on the situation.

  "It has been seven hours since the vanguard troops entered, and five hours since Li Yuan and Alicia's group entered." Wu Manong was extremely calm: "Now, all of the Alliance's mobilized forces have been deployed to the border."

  "Over 1,200 people have died in the first-class Wu area."

  "Preparatory source Wu, 16 people died."

  "The seven geniuses are all safe for the time being." Wu Manong said calmly: "At the same time, we have killed more than 100 of them, and although our casualties are heavy, the situation has basically been reversed."

  "Now we have forced the team of Kusari God Country to shrink." said Wuma Nong.

  "How many sources of Wu are there on our side?" Abbott asked the key question.

  "There are already over 70 ordinary source warriors, and six of the seven great geniuses have broken through. Wu Manong said in a low voice: "But it's hard to win with just these six... Si Feng broke through as a source warrior at level 20.3 and encountered a powerful source warrior from the Gu Yue God Country. If not for Xiong Ze arriving in time to rescue him, he would probably be dead already."

  "The opponent is also a five-segment skill, but the physical quality is much stronger, and it must be after entering the boundary of the boundary, using some precious treasures." Wu Manong said.

  Moreover, we still don't know if this is the strongest person in the Guoyue God team.

  Everyone present felt the pressure.

  The accumulation of treasures will only make the God Realm of the Moon even stronger.

  "What about Li Yuan?" The middle-aged man in the fiery red robe, Yan Yun Hu, asked doubtfully: "Isn't he supposed to be the strongest? Let him make a move."

  In Jinghe and Tavares they were both stunned for a moment, then looked at Yan Yun Hu with puzzled eyes.

  "What's wrong?" Yan Yun Huo felt the gaze of Wu Ma Nong and others, and couldn't help but say: "Is there a problem with what I said?"

  "Cloud Fox." Yán Jùn Lǐng frowned and said, "Lǐ Yuán still needs to take the 'Wàn Shēng Yán Guǒ', that's a fourth-grade treasure, completely digesting it will also take a lot of time... be patient and wait."

  "I can wait."

  "But the more we delay, the more likely it is that Gu Yue will truly understand the secrets of the realm and send even more people to kill us." Yan Yun Huo couldn't help but say: "When the situation collapses, can they bear the responsibility?"

  "Shut up." Wu Manong's eyes flashed with a cold glint: "Not satisfied? Then send a first-class warrior from the Lieyan family to see if they can win?"

  He had long been dissatisfied with the Flame Family.

  "What attitude?" Yan Yun Huo also got angry at this time, he asked himself as a flying warrior.

  Always stayed in Lieyu Star Boundary's breeding zone, and was even more so the one who had the final say.

  "That's my attitude."

  "Not convinced? Believe it or not, I'll beat you until you surrender." Wu Manong's eyes were icy cold: "Remember, I'm the commander-in-chief."

  "Besides, isn't the current situation largely caused by your Liet Yan family?"

  "With such a treasure land, why hide it and not report it? If you had reported it earlier, would the situation have become so bad? Would there be an opportunity for the Gu Yue Shen Kingdom to intervene?" Wu Manong sneered: "If you really have the ability, then don't let the alliance come to wipe your butt."

  "Have you seen those thousands of warriors who died in battle?"

  "They didn't have to die." Wu Manong stared at Yan Yunhu, a formless aura spreading out, as if it was about to erupt in the next instant.

  This gaze made Yan Yun Hu's heart feel slightly empty.

  If it were a normal 29th-level Yuan Wu Zhe, he could have killed him with one move, but Wuma Nong? That's a Yuan Wu Zhe genius who ranks among the top twenty in the entire civilization.

  "Lao Wu, say a few less words." Yu Jinghe said in a low voice.

  "Hmph." Wu Manong snorted coldly and turned his head back to continue gazing at the holographic map projection in the distance.

  As well as numerous participants, messages were constantly being relayed back and forth.

  Suddenly.

  "Huh? No good! Kuros and Alicia are calling for backup." Abbott's face changed slightly.

  Pointing at the two flashing light screens.

  "Help! Encountered three 5th dan martial artists, one of whom is at least level 22! Requesting backup!"

  "Help!"

  ……

  In the boundary of boundaries, Li Yuan's closed-off great earth fissure, in the underground cave.

  Extremely quiet.

  "Finally, the breakthrough of Yuanwu has been completed." Li Yuan sat cross-legged, feeling the terrifying power surging within his body: "It's actually true that one day's breakthrough can bring me to level 22.2! It's truly unimaginable!"

  Li Yuan's gaze swept over the Shengong panel once again.

  ——

  Life Rank: 22.2 (Second Tier)

  Punching force: 194,000 kg

  Speed: 184 m/s

  Spiritual Power: 31.4 level

  Willpower: Level 33

  Spiritual Awakening Degree: 38.3% (Current Upper Limit 40%)

  Xīng Mài: 13th level (cultivation efficiency 10 + 0.5 + 0.5)

  Mastery Boundary: Gun Technique (5th Dan 42%), Body Technique (5th Dan 42%)

  Stellar Technique: Ninefold Stellar Technique 《True Explanation of the Earth's Stellar Pulse》 (1st Stage 6th Level: 6th Level)

  ……

  Outside, Yu Jinghe and Wu Malong thought that Li Yuan had broken through for so long because he had swallowed the "Wan Sheng Yan Guo", which required a lot of time to digest the effect of Wan Sheng Yan Guo.

  Only Li Yuan himself understood.

  No!

  It's just because the "source power" born from the Source Power Ocean is too pure, causing his physical quality to be in rapid evolution.

  Until 22.2 level, the life hierarchy is thoroughly stabilized.

  From level 19.9, a leap to level 22.2, consumed more than 4 hours of Li Yuan's time.

  But the time spent is worth it.

  "Fist strength is about 2.5 times that of the breakthrough, and explosive speed is 1.5 times that of the past." Li Yuan's heart was filled with both joy and shock: "Perfect Star Pulse!!"

  Up until now, Li Yuan has been confirmed without a doubt, this is all thanks to Perfect Star Pulse.

  Other warriors who have just broken through are generally around level 20.0 or 20.1, and even the strongest ones who have just broken through are only around level 20.3.

  How about you?

  Soared directly to 22.2 magnitude!

  "With a strong foundation like this." Li Yuan clenched his fist, his entire body seemingly overflowing with endless power: "Next, I can still take another dose of the Elixir of Life Extension."

  "Is the energy entering the body?"

  At that time, Li Yuan's physical quality will soar to what extent, he can't imagine at all.

  Suddenly.

  "Huh?" Li Yuan lowered his head to look at the smart ring on his wrist, his expression slightly changing: "Kross and Alicia are in danger?"

  "Three powerful source warriors? All of them are fifth-grade skills? One of them is suspected to be level 22?"

  Such a lineup is already terrifyingly strong.

  Even if Kross and Alicia become Genbu, they may not be able to withstand it.

  "Check the location coordinates." Li Yuan immediately queried each other's location coordinates.

  As No. 0001, Li Yuan has extremely high authority and can view other people's communicators and their relative positions at any time.

  "23 kilometers?"

  "Help is near! There's hope for rescue." Li Yuan's body moved and he instantly shot out of the cave.

  A thought occurred to me.

  Boom!

  The source power armor covers the whole body, and immediately the three major star meridians in the body rotate, surging source power rushes out from the sea of source power.

  In an instant, a layer of hazy yellow light enveloped Li Yuan completely.

  Source Power Unleashed! This is the true full power state of a Source Warrior!

  "Whoosh!"

  In a state of unity between heaven and man, the whole body's energy is circulating.

  In just one second, Li Yuan's explosive speed had soared to an astonishing level, exceeding 220 meters per second.

  The entire person transformed into a terrifying stream of light, rushing far away, as if flying close to the ground. With each step, a terrible force burst forth, causing the earth to tremble slightly.

  23 kilometers?

  In just about 2 minutes, Li Yuan was able to rush over!
