High-Level Martial Era

Li Yuan understood that the feeling of increased power was an illusion due to his recent transformation.

"One spear thrust? That might be difficult, two thrusts then," Li Yuan muttered to himself, "If he uses the Demon Blood Spirit Crystal again, he should be able to finish it within ten thrusts."

The power and speed increases, as well as the defense enhancements, brought by the Demon Blood Spirit Crystal had their limits.

"Regardless."

"Facing an Initial Rank Prime Warrior, even a 22nd level one, I should have a fighting chance after activating my Origin Power Battle Suit," Li Yuan thought to himself.

If it were a 20th level Prime Warrior? Li Yuan was fairly confident of being able to defeat or even kill them.

Because Li Yuan's Fist Strength now exceeded 50,000 kilograms and could surge beyond 90,000 kilograms under the Subtlety of the heart, which wasn't much different from an ordinary 20th level Prime Warrior's burst.

If the strength was comparable and the skills were considerably superior, then even with a weaker Origin Power, there was a great chance of winning.

However, if the opponent reached the 23rd level? Then the chance of winning was slim, for a 23rd level Mid Rank Prime Warrior's basic Fist Strength was 240,000 kilograms!!

If facing a Prime Warrior above the 26th level? Li Yuan would be killed in a single move.

"Our Seven Stars Human Race Prime Warriors each possess an Origin Power Battle Suit, making our vitality ten times stronger," Li Yuan thought to himself, "But that's not the case with the native lifeforms of the Mingxu Star Realm."

This was the advantage of Prime Warriors.

In reality, among the many Foreign Civilizations the Seven Stars Human Civilization had come into contact with, most were unable to mass-produce 'Origin Power Battle Suits,' especially beast civilizations, which are generally weak in technology, almost primitive.

Even the Tianliang Civilization's research on Origin Power Battle Suits and Origin Power Weapons was inferior to that of the Seven Stars Human Civilization.

This was also one of the reasons Li Yuan dared to enter the Flying Serpent Valley.

"Flying Serpent Valley has long been under the surveillance of Outpost Station Three, with no definite traces of Second Rank Alien Race beings for so long," Li Yuan silently pondered, "Hence, the probability of a Second Rank Alien Race being born is very low, and even if one truly emerged, the chance of surpassing level 22 wouldn't exceed 1%, otherwise the Flying Serpent population's domain wouldn't be confined to this area."

According to the research of the Seven Stars Human Civilization, many of the native lives born in the Star Realms possess extremely strong bloodlines, naturally becoming First Rank Life or even Second Rank Life.

But bloodlines are also shackles, extremely hard to break through.

"Compared to the Flying Serpent race, what I really need to worry about is the Tianliang Civilization," Li Yuan thought to himself, "However, according to the information provided by the captives, aside from that Xue Shu, there don't seem to be any Second Rank powerhouses accompanying them."

"They're probably not lying."

The reason was simple.

If there were Second Rank powerhouses among the Tianliang Clan that had come, they could have easily swept through the Flying Serpent Valley.

In pursuit of Wang Zhou, they wouldn't have let him and his group escape either.

On the other hand.

"It's not out of the question that everything I know is a lie, a Killing Formation set up by the Tianliang Clan with the purpose of luring us Human Race Martial Artists away from the outpost," Li Yuan narrowed his eyes and mused, "I must be careful."

"One must struggle for treasures, indeed, but it's also about honing oneself. Yet one must not recklessly take risks."

After thinking everything through.

Li Yuan opened his backpack, drank some water, ate something, and continued to review his previously conceived plan... After confirming it was foolproof, he shouldered his pack, leaped down, and like an agile monkey, quickly stealthed into the vast forest.

Heading towards Flying Serpent Valley.

Before long.

Hum!

A figure in blue-green robes gradually materialized, almost blending in with the surrounding environment, making no sound whatsoever.

"How has his strength increased so much in less than ten hours?"

"Such strong Stealth ability."

"Is this the Unity of Heaven and Man? Indeed extraordinary. If it weren't for my special Battle Garment that conceals my presence, I'd probably be discovered by him," the mysterious figure whispered to himself, "Thankfully, the smart wristband is constantly tracking... Otherwise, I'd definitely lose him."

Even so, he did not dare to follow too closely, lest he be detected.

Whoosh!

Soundlessly, the mysterious figure moved, and a beast nearby, busy nibbling the ground, did not notice a thing.

...

It was only about 100 kilometers from the secluded clifftop to the perimeter of Flying Serpent Valley.

If Li Yuan sprinted at full speed, he could get there in an hour, but he was as discreet as possible, not very fast, and actually on the slower side.

The closer he got, the slower he went.

His strong spiritual power, and the art of Unity of Heaven and Man endowed him with such sensitivity that he could sense nearly everything within a hundred meters.

After crossing another ridge.

Li Yuan glanced at his smart wristband, following the map guidance, he had entered the 'Flying Serpent Valley' area.

Suddenly.

Li Yuan stopped, his body slightly squatting, eyes narrowing as he stared at something a hundred meters away.

Hiss hiss~

On the craggy rocks, festooned with a large number of vines, rested several serpentine creatures as thick as a man's waist and over twenty meters long.

These creatures were pitch black with only their huge, blood-red eyes standing out, resembling the snakes on Blue Star, but with a pair of long claws growing on their belly and a set of folded wings on their back.

This was the 'Black Feathered Flying Serpent.'

Rustle rustle~ One of the Black Feathered Flying Serpents suddenly raised its head, its massive body arching slightly as it unfurled its wings, which were so wide they blocked out the sun, spanning over twenty meters.

"First Rank Flying Serpents can only glide, they can hardly take off directly," the details of Black Feathered Flying Serpents appeared in Li Yuan's mind.

Their wings were not large enough to support their massive bodies taking off directly.

However, once transformed into a Second Rank Flying Serpent with the support of Origin Power, flying would become effortless for them.

Flying!

It was an ability that many clans' Second Rank powerhouses envied.

Even among the top-grade Origin Martial Artists of the Human Civilization, the vast majority were incapable of true flight, at most managing short-term levitation.
