High-Level Martial Era

At this moment, Li Yuan finally understood why the Cloud Beast Civilization had suddenly launched such a massive offensive, even deploying two Second Rank Exotic Beasts with condensed True Intent.

It turned out there was a queen's nest hidden in the dark?

The previous three queen's nests had been drawing the essence of the earth from the Rob Sea Star Realm, continuously giving birth to a massive number of First Rank and Second Rank Exotic Beasts, and every one to two years, they would initiate a great war.

Thus, they already posed a great threat to Xia Country, compelling it to keep a million-strong army on standby near the passage to Star Realm year-round.

If one more were to be added? The pressure would only be greater.

"This queen's nest seems not yet to have grown to its peak," Li Yuan compared it with the intelligence he knew and quickly came to a conclusion.

And Li Yuan's perception ability was astonishing; he could generally sense the surging black fog within that gorge was faintly continuing to expand.

"It must be destroyed," was the thought that immediately followed in Li Yuan's mind.

Even if, for the time being, he couldn't destroy the three mature queen's nests, this fourth one must not be allowed to grow any further.

"Here, it's not possible to contact the base to send a message," Li Yuan slightly furrowed his brow.

Once past five thousand kilometers from the entrance and exit of the Star Realm, the signal would be cut off. (Chapter 282)

And the location where Li Yuan was at the moment was nearly six thousand kilometers from the Star Realm entrance and exit... well outside the range for signal reception.

Now, Li Yuan stood alone.

"Kill!" Li Yuan thought for only a few seconds before he grasped his Long Spear, transforming into a streak of light, bursting into the gorge.

Swish!

Other areas of the Star Realm might also be desolate, but there were still some plants around, and from time to time, you could see quite a few low-lying trees, but the sides of this enormous gorge, stretching several kilometers across, were completely silent, showing not even a hint of life.

Even the rocks and soil were faintly tainted black.

It was as if everything had been polluted, instinctively arousing disgust in Li Yuan's heart.

Closing in quickly.

Danger! Danger!

As Li Yuan drew within about two kilometers, his formidable spiritual power intuited a significant threat... as if the enveloping fog contained a grave danger, one that could threaten his life.

"Indeed, this is a queen's nest still in the midst of growth and transformation," Li Yuan's eyes shifted slightly, "Judging by the aura it gives off and its size, it should already have grown past halfway."

About the queen's nest.

The Seven Star Civilization had once breached one, hence there was detailed intelligence, especially since Li Yuan entered the Rob Sea Star Realm... he had obtained all the data on the queen's nests.

It was a very special symbiotic life form.

Not a single entity, but rather composed of a large number of nurturing creatures that merged together, with the strongest core creature at its center.

They also leveraged a rare treasure, "Myriad Beasts Blood Source" to form a powerful and special Origin Power Array, which allowed them to continuously draw energy from all directions of the land to supply the nurturing creatures for breeding Exotic Beasts.

To breach a queen's nest, it sounds simple: break the Origin Power Array, seize the Myriad Beasts Blood Source, and the whole nest would naturally collapse on its own.

But!!

Aside from the time in a Third Level Star Realm when the Seven Star Civilization happened to break through a powerful nest and got a glimpse of its secrets... they never breached another one since.

As for the three major queen's nests in the Rob Sea Star Realm, years ago, Lude Nef had led a large number of Flying Heaven Level Prime Warriors into battle there, facing off in a bloody war, even killing several of the Cloud Beast Civilization's top combatants.

Yet in the end, they could only retreat helplessly.

"In terms of strength, I should be slightly stronger than Lude Nef in aspects such as attacking, fleeing, and Divine Body Defense, except possibly in stealth," Li Yuan thought to himself, not yet aware that Lude Nef had made a breakthrough.

"If even I can't manage it, then I fear no Prime Warrior of my Seven Star Civilization could," a cold light flickered in Li Yuan's eyes, "And as time goes by, the might of this queen's nest will only grow, making it even harder to conquer."

With that thought,

"Hum!"

A thought crossed Li Yuan's mind, and within a radius of about fifty meters centered on him, strands of earthy yellow and green auras instantly appeared.

A domain combining two great True Intents!

Overall, its power had greatly increased compared to before he had condensed the embryonic form of the True Meaning of Wind.

"Kill!"

Li Yuan, transformed into a stream of light, maintained a hundred-meter diameter domain akin to a vast sphere, thundering forward and rushing towards the queen's nest shrouded in numerous black mist.

These mists were the strange powers exhaled by many creatures, meant to protect and conceal themselves.

"Rumble~"

As the domain of True Intent descended overwhelmingly, it rolled forward like a terrifying steamroller, dispersing the black mist right in front of it.

But farther away, more and more black mist surged crazily.

"Roar!!"

"Roar!" From within the endless black mist, angry howls and roars could be faintly heard, as if countless Exotic Beasts were roaring in fury.

In a blink of an eye,

Li Yuan, with his domain, plunged hundreds of meters into the black mist, and even the domain of True Intent was nearly submerged by the black mist... but as the domain dispersed a great deal of the mist, it became much thinner.

Thus, from the outside, Li Yuan's domain of True Intent could still be seen.

And within that thick black fog,

Li Yuan already began directly clashing with the massive queen's nest.

It was only now that he could vaguely glimpse the true appearance of the queen's nest.

There were countless black biological tissues pulsating, like a sea of flesh... seen from a great height, it was clearly an unbelievably large flesh ball.
