High-Level Martial Era-Chapter 521 - 305: Chi Yen’s Plot! Li Yuan’s Promise_3

```

"No matter how we plan, we cannot overcome the difference in strength."

```

...

Before long, Li Yuan, Li Yang, and Lei Meng had returned to the Bright Moon Base.

Outside the Fourth-order Battleship.

Luo Chan, Tavares, and the over ten other people stationed at the base, having received the news, came forward to greet them with notably grave expressions on their faces.

"Tavares, eyes reddening, asked, "Spirit Gun, is it true that Wu Manong has fallen in battle?"

The burly man struggled to contain his emotions.

"Ah," Li Yuan sighed softly, flipping his palm to retrieve two shields and spoke somberly, "Tavares... keep these weapons, and give them to his wife and child."

Wu Manong had a family; his wife was a Prime Warrior, and they had a son.

With red-rimmed eyes and shaky hands, Tavares took the two shields.

Everyone else felt a heavy sigh in their hearts.

Wu Manong’s death saddened everyone... but in these times, scenes like this had become all too common.

Yet, no one felt the grief as acutely as Tavares... everyone knew that Wu Manong had two close friends who shared life and death.

One was Yu Jinghe; for over a decade, they had sparred against each other as rivals but remained friends throughout.

The other was Tavares.

He and Wu Manong had the closest relationship, having fought side by side through countless life-and-death battles.

"The Chi Yen Beast King," Tavares suddenly let out a series of low growls, knowing the killer was the Chi Yen Beast King.

"Spirit Gun."

Luo Chan, in a low voice, said, "According to the message you sent back, the demigods have just finished meeting, and several of them want to see you."

"Alright," Li Yuan nodded and followed Luo Chan toward the distant Fourth-order Battleship.

No one else objected.

They all knew the outcome of the battle between Spirit Gun and the Chi Yen Beast King... and the strength displayed by Spirit Gun was both shocking and exciting to them.

This increased their awe of the enigmatic ’Number One Prime Warrior of the Civilization.’

...

Huff! Huff!

Li Yuan and Luo Chan flew into a small conference room deep within the battleship.

Boom—The conference room door closed.

Inside the conference room, three massive holographic screens projected three figures.

They were all familiar to Li Yuan.

Huff~

The Battle Garment that had covered Li Yuan’s face receded, revealing his visage.

Next, Li Yuan’s soul underwent a transformation, as he removed the covering of the Phantom Spirit Garment.

Luo Chan, despite having known this, still felt a sense of amazement.

"Senior Bai Shan, Senior San Ye, Headmaster," Li Yuan greeted respectfully.

Everyone present was aware of their identities; there was no need for concealment.

"Li Yuan, you’ve performed admirably in the Star Realm retreat operation; don’t be too hard on yourself," Bai Shan Semi-Divine said. "War always brings casualties, and everyone who has fallen is a hero of our Seven Star Civilization."

"Their names will be inscribed in the history of our civilization."

"The rise of a civilization is always accompanied by countless sacrifices," San Ye Semi-Divine added. "Whether it’s your battles in the Second Level Star Realm, or our stand in the Third Level Star Realm, protecting the Fourth Level Star Realm... generations in the distant future will remember our contributions."

"The dead are gone, the living must continue to move forward."

Li Yuan listened in silence.

Whether it was fending off foreign enemies or attacking other Star Realms... whether it was Li Yuan or the powerful demigods before him, or the countless human Martial Artists who had sacrificed themselves throughout history.

Their goal had always been one—to ensure the survival of the Seven Star Civilization.

To ensure its better survival!

The discussion in the conference room continued.

"Li Yuan, your strength is so immense that, placed in the history of our civilization, you are the strongest Prime Warrior," Fang Hai observed with a hint of admiration. "No one else can catch up to you."

"Even true intend Prime Warriors like Luo Chan, even if they break through to the Flying Heaven Level, won’t be a match for you in the short term," Bai Shan Semi-Divine said.

Luo Chan, listening on the side, inwardly sighed, acknowledging the truth in this.

The power displayed by Li Yuan in battle indeed put them, the true intend Prime Warriors, in a position of looking up to him.

"Li Yuan, what are your thoughts on the ’ten-day ultimatum’ from the Chi Yen Beast King?" San Ye Semi-Divine asked.

Whether it was to fight or to fully retreat.

As the strongest frontline warrior, Li Yuan’s opinion was very important.

```

"My strength is still not enough," Li Yuan shook his head, "I can’t even kill the Chi Yen Beast King... To think of killing the Three Great Beast Emperors, there is no hope at all."

The Chi Yen Beast King is Fourth Rank.

So it can be basically confirmed that the Three Great Beast Emperors should be Fifth Rank, thus their mastery of abilities must be at least at the intermediate rank of True Intent, and their strength far surpasses that of Fourth Rank in all aspects... Even if in terms of weapons and Star Techniques, the Beast Emperors are weaker than the peak Flying Heaven warriors of the Seven Star Civilization, Li Yuan currently can’t shake them.

If encountered, it would be good enough just to save his life.

Bai Shan Semi-Divine, Fang Hai, and San Ye Semi-Divine were all briefly stunned.

Wasn’t it obvious that Li Yuan was no match for the Three Great Beast Emperors? Why suddenly say this?

"I need one month’s time."

Li Yuan spoke again, his eyes calm, "In one month, my strength will significantly improve, and I will have the confidence to fight a Beast Emperor, even to the point of killing one." Continue your adventure at novelbuddy

"What?"

"To fight a Beast Emperor?"

"One month’s time?" Bai Shan Semi-Divine, Fang Hai, and San Ye Semi-Divine were all shocked.

Luo Chan, who was beside them, was even more dumbfounded.

Li Yuan’s strength was already formidable, and it could get even stronger?

"Li Yuan, do you intend to break through to the Flying Heaven Level in the Mingxu Star Realm?" San Ye Semi-Divine seemed to think of something.

The others all looked at Li Yuan.

If Li Yuan broke through to the Flying Heaven Level, underwent a foundational transformation, and his strength surged greatly, then killing a Beast Emperor would naturally not be difficult.

"Li Yuan, don’t be impulsive," Fang Hai also spoke gravely, "Even if the Mingxu Star Realm is important... it’s not worth staying here forever, the loss outweighs the gain."

"Principal, rest assured, I will not be impulsive," Li Yuan said, knowing what these alliance senior executives were worried about.

"How can you achieve this?" Bai Shan Semi-Divine couldn’t help asking, "Those Three Great Beast Emperors, at least Fifth Rank... the foundational gap is too great."

It’s no wonder these demigods were losing their composure.

Normally speaking, for a 29th Level genius Prime Warrior to be comparable to a 31st Level Flying Heaven Warrior was impressive enough.

Exceptionally strong ones could be on par with 32nd Level human warriors, like Yu Jinghe and Lude Nef.

To be 29th Level and comparable to a 33rd Level? Before Li Yuan, the entire Seven Star Civilization only had one example!

Fang Hai!

Li Yuan, calculating his age, had just turned 20, and it was already incredible for him to be a match for the Chi Yen Beast King.

Now, he was claiming that in another month he could be on par with a 35th Level Beast Emperor?

How could they easily believe that?

"I can’t explain the specific reasons, but I can only tell you seniors, I am capable," Li Yuan said gravely, "I will not joke with my own life."

All was silent.

Luo Chan held his breath.

After a long while,

"Alright, Li Yuan, we believe you," Bai Shan Semi-Divine said solemnly, "In the coming month, we will fully retreat, giving up the Bright Moon Base... We will only keep the Bright Moon Base as a strategic support point, allowing the Myriad Demons Civilization to draw the Mingxu Beast Clan’s firepower."

"The Myriad Demons Civilization?" Li Yuan was startled.

"Yes."

"The underground network has sent news that the Tianliang Civilization has already sought help from the Myriad Demons Civilization, judging by the time, the genius Prime Warriors of the Myriad Demons Civilization should be arriving soon," Fang Hai said, "Of course, the Myriad Demons Civilization doesn’t care about territorial ownership, their goal is only the treasures of Ming Mountain... they will probably head straight to Ming Mountain."

"Genius of the Myriad Demons Civilization?" Li Yuan’s eyes narrowed slightly, amazed by the intelligence network of the Seven Star Civilization.

Such confidential information could actually be inquired about in advance.

"Could the Myriad Demons Civilization attack us in advance?" Li Yuan asked curiously.

"It’s possible," Fang Hai said with a smile, "Therefore, considering the one month’s time you requested, we have decided to retreat... Once they catch a glimpse of a group of Fourth-order Battleships inside our base, they should give up attacking."

"After all, the power of the Myriad Demons Civilization has its limits, as long as we temporarily show weakness, presenting a willingness to abandon the contest for the treasures of Ming Mountain... They won’t waste their energy fighting us."

"Besides, we are also planning to let two True Intent Prime Warriors break through."

Li Yuan’s pupils contracted slightly, such a bold decision.

Each True Intent Prime Warrior had the potential to become a demigod in the future... To convince such geniuses to willingly stay in the Mingxu Star Realm was very difficult.

"All these plans are based on your ability to do what you promised," San Ye Semi-Divine said, "Within a month, to possess the strength to rival a Beast Emperor."

"Yes," Li Yuan nodded.

On the flight back, he had already begun to sense preliminarily within the Mind Spirit Divine Palace... There was more than a 90% certainty.

"Li Yuan, what help do you need?" Bai Shan Semi-Divine asked.

"I need some treasures," Li Yuan pondered for a moment then said, "I can use Seven Stars Points to buy them, but some treasures are so precious, I don’t have the authority, and I need the demigods’ help."

Quickly,

Li Yuan took out a list of treasures, specifically for practicing the Ninefold Star Technique "All Things Divine Body," the Seventh Layers Star Technique "Shadow Clone," and the Fifth Layer Star Technique "Wind Feather," which listed all the materials he needed.

These were the preparations he had made on the way back.

If they could be gathered, it would be enough for Li Yuan to bring these Star Techniques to the limit of Second Order.
