Twenty-three hours passed in the blink of an eye. The number of people who came from Zhongzhou had reached over a thousand, and there were also quite a few from Guzhou and Lizhou who had come from afar. However, the three forces each had their own teams, and although there were many people, they were not united.
"Human brat, stop resisting! You're just a lone wolf. If you obediently come out and offer your neck for slaughter, you'll die with some dignity. Otherwise, you won't even be able to keep your corpse intact!"
Someone shouted towards the primeval forest, "This is the Ten Thousand Mountains, home to countless ferocious beasts. Even those at the Profound God Realm dare not easily enter it."
The shouts only startled the birds into scattering and fleeing, but no response was received.
"Good lad, since you're unwilling to come out, then let us capture you ourselves and cut off your head!"
The group formed an encirclement and approached the primeval forest. Here, they had laid a trap to ensure that the enemy's warships would no longer be able to escape through space jumps.
"Let's go in and take a look!"
People from Guzhou and Lizhou also joined the hunting party. Although the imperial decree reward was only for the residents of Zhongzhou Wanzu City, they could still gain a lot of benefits if they could capture Jiang Yuan. Not to mention how much he could be worth if sold to others, the luck and treasures such as warships that Jiang Yuan possessed were enough to make people drool.
On the other side
Jiang Yuan and his companion had already disembarked from the warship. Otherwise, the warship's massive hull would have been unable to traverse this primeval forest where the vegetation was hundreds of meters tall. Furthermore, since he had intentionally entered the enemy's encirclement, the use of the warship was no longer of any use.
"Brother, are we in a desperate situation now?" Jiang Jun asked with a bitter expression. Putting everything else aside, there were already more than five hundred Divine Realm alien races chasing them in this forest, and there were also thousands of Spirit Realm beings waiting to pick up any stragglers.
Jiang Yuan sat cross-legged on the ground. This was the last branch of the Kunlun Mountains. Although it was thousands of miles away from the main line, he could still draw on the power of the Kunlun Mountains from this place. It was the greatest amount of fortune he could use so far.
"Brother, say something! Otherwise, we're really going to die in this godforsaken place today!"
Jiang Jun was extremely anxious when he saw that Jiang Yuan didn't react at all. This was a matter of life and death. If he wasn't anxious about this, when would he be?
"Don't rush, let the bullets fly for a while!"
After saying that, Jiang Yuan continued meditating; he was only one step away from the Heavenly Spirit Realm.
"But this formation can only hold for another ten minutes!" Jiang Jun could only show a bitter expression as he looked at the formation that was blocking the battlefield's senses. The lightning tribulation of the battlefield kept flashing above Jiang Yuan's head. Although there was a Xuan Shen-level formation that could temporarily block it, it was not a long-term solution. In just ten minutes, the people outside would be able to break in.
Shh, don't speak!
Jiang Jun could only keep quiet. In contrast to the deafening sounds of battle outside, the two of them enjoyed a unique tranquility in this primeval forest.
But behind this tranquility lies an abyss where a fall would shatter one to pieces.
The number of divine energy patterns in Jiang Yuan's body continued to increase. The three realms within the Spirit Realm did not affect the quality of energy. Whether it was the Void Spirit Realm, the True Spirit Realm, or the Heavenly Spirit Realm, all three realms used energy patterns. Therefore, this bottleneck was much simpler than the major hurdles that required a qualitative change, but it was still a huge leap from 200,000 energy patterns to 1 million.
"Nine hundred and ninety thousand!"
Jiang Yuan suddenly paused for a moment. His divine energy runes had reached the crucial 990,000, just 10,000 away from the Heavenly Spirit Realm.
This last ten thousand cannot rely on the energy of the Holy Spirit Crystal to break through, because the energy inside the Holy Spirit Crystal is lifeless, while the energy required for a breakthrough must be extremely vibrant. Therefore, this last ten thousand must rely on his own slow absorption of the spiritual energy between heaven and earth, but time is obviously running out.
"Twin Eyes, activate."
Jiang Yuan entered battle mode ahead of schedule, but this time it wasn't for fighting, but for breaking through.
The Twin Eyes possess a wide variety of abilities, including cultivation. Therefore, once the Twin Eyes were activated, the free-floating energy in the world began to sweep towards his eyes like a tornado.
"Brother, you're going to expose yourself prematurely!"
Jiang Jun exclaimed in surprise upon seeing his actions and was about to step forward to stop him, but Jiang Yuan had already begun to act.
The formation was brutally torn apart by the twin pupils, and he needed a large amount of spiritual energy from heaven and earth to fill the last gap.
With a whoosh, the lightning struck down violently once more, and this commotion also provided guidance for the others in the entire forest.
"Look, there's that human boy over there!"
In an instant, everyone's eyes were focused on the same corner of the forest.
"His warships are already destroyed, and he's undoubtedly at his wit's end. Everyone, follow me and kill this bastard!"
This was the closest they had ever been to close combat. Before, Jiang Yuan had been running and they had been chasing him, with very little actual fighting. Now that they had the chance to kill this human bastard, how could they not be excited?
As the alien race entered the forest, some of the humans who had come to watch the spectacle shook their heads and sighed from the periphery.
"Alas, I heard that this group of alien races is chasing after our human race, and they are even genius freshmen from Huasheng Academy."
"No need to hear about it, I was in the City of Ten Thousand Races last night. That guy is definitely a student of Hua Sheng Academy, and he's quite famous."
"Really? Who is he? Do I know him?"
"A while ago, some bored people posted a list of handsome men and beautiful women on the academy's official website, and this guy was on it. His name should be Jiang Yuan!"
"Holy crap, I have to check out the official website!"
Several humans sighed, but their conversation was overheard by a figure several miles away.
