Traveling across the globe for the first time

Chapter 947: First Martial World
The leader was of medium build, but his arms were exceptionally thick, gleaming with a metallic sheen and brimming with explosive power. His aura was extremely robust, giving the impression of an ancient ferocious beast.

Judging from his aura, he is definitely a top-tier existence among the strongest.

Compared to those who have reached the Origin Realm, beginner martial artists have more harmonious Qi and blood. Each of them has extremely high control over their Qi and blood because their bodies contain only basic Qi and blood without any external amplification.

The leader first glanced at Zhang Haoran with a solemn expression, then looked at Fang Ping and said calmly, "I am the Heavenly Arm God! I am willing to join you in besieging the Human Emperor."

However, I must emphasize one point: we beginners in martial arts always fight head-on, with no regard for the consequences. We have never had the habit of taking advantage of others.

Don't judge others by your own petty standards.

However, some of you have been shamelessly ambushing the younger generation of my clan all these years, and you run away faster than anyone else when you encounter the Heavenly King.

This is a classic case of bullying the weak and fearing the strong; it's despicable.

Tianbi kept his eyes on Lin Zi while he spoke. If Lin Zi hadn't been lurking around nearby for thousands of years, waiting for an opportunity to ambush them, they wouldn't have been trapped in the Chuwu Continent.

"Maybe!"

Fang Ping shrugged, revealing an indifferent expression. In fact, he thought Lin Zi had done a very good job. Since they were enemies, they should use any means necessary.

Zhang Haoran curled his lip in disdain. Beginner martial artists are straightforward, while those with profound inner strength are cunning. This is a common perception, or rather, a persona deliberately created after a beginner martial artist's defeat.

That's all nonsense.

The current emperors were all early martial leaders back then, and they're all old silver coins now.

The King of Zhen Tian was a beginner martial artist back then, and he still has a beginner martial body now. Over the years, he has been able to fight anyone to a standstill. How is that being straightforward?
The difference between the original source and the initial martial arts is simply a difference in the method of cultivation, and has nothing to do with a person's character.

Tianbi knew that his words could only fool those naive young people, and were completely useless in front of this group of old silver coins, so he changed the subject and said: "The Human Emperor Ji killed many early martial arts experts back then, and later killed the Sword God in order to prove his Dao."

They have a blood feud with us.

Now that we have the opportunity to kill him, we certainly won't let it go.

This is also to avenge my fallen brothers.

Fang Ping laughed and said, "Hehe! Since you are willing to participate in the war, you must follow orders in all actions. If you are told to charge, you can charge; if you are told to retreat, you must retreat immediately."

Can you do that?

Fang Ping immediately sought to establish dominance, and his tone was very firm, making it seem as if he was ready to fight if Fang Ping disagreed.

His demands seemed domineering, but they were quite reasonable. If the two sides were to split into two groups and fight separately, they would definitely restrain each other and wouldn't be able to unleash their original fighting strength.

He allowed novice martial artists to participate in the battle, partly to eliminate potential threats and partly to find cannon fodder; naturally, he couldn't let them become a hindrance.

Although Tianbi was annoyed by Fang Ping's threat, he still suppressed his anger and said calmly, "Human King, rest assured, I understand the importance of unified command better than you do."

If you're worried, we can use our main force. We're willing to pay any price to defeat the King of Men.

I just hope we don't die in vain!

These words undoubtedly demonstrated the determination of the novice martial artist: as long as he could kill the Human Emperors, he was willing to use them as cannon fodder.

This answer satisfied everyone.

However, the atmosphere on the human side was somewhat strange.

Tianbi kept saying "Human Emperor," which sounded awkward to everyone, since the current Human Emperor is Zhang Tao.

Only those powerful figures in the mortal realm who harbor deep hatred for Ji would call him a false emperor and a treacherous emperor. Those old-fashioned people would not use such terms. Although they resent being used as pawns by the emperor, they still have to show him basic respect.

There is a deep-seated blood feud between the beginners and the emperors, yet they would still address each other as the emperor.

In some ways, most beginner martial artists are quite straightforward and respect powerful opponents.

Zhang Haoran didn't really care about the other person's title. Even if you call him the Emperor, you'll still get beaten up when the time comes.

On the contrary, I am very interested in that fallen sword god, wondering if he left behind any legacy.

This was the first time he had ever heard of a novice swordsman. To be used as a stepping stone for proving one's Dao must mean that one must be exceptionally strong, probably at the peak of the eighth level.

It's such a waste to kill it just to plunder a little energy.

Zhang Haoran plundered a lot of sword techniques through the Dao Competition, but those were all the Great Daos of Origin Powerhouses, and their strength was not very good. He even had very few sword techniques of Emperor Venerables, let alone Heavenly Kings.

If I could find a beginner swordsman to learn from, I would probably gain a lot.

Zhang Haoran knew that now was not the time to ask whether the Sword God had left any legacy; he could inquire after the victory.

He coughed lightly and said, "Your name is Tianbi, right?"
It is said that he inherited the legacy of the Overlord Emperor, possessing a body of jade bones and unparalleled strength.

Especially those iron arms, which can withstand the attacks of an emperor.

He survived being punched several times by Donghuang back then.

Tianbi said proudly, "That's right, my master is none other than the Overlord Emperor!"

He had also fought against emperors.

Which of the surviving early-stage martial arts masters didn't fight against an emperor back then?

Zhang Haoran really wanted to say something: Li Hansong, the reincarnation of the Overlord Emperor, is now a human and has been taken in as a subordinate by Fang Ping. Since you have accepted the Overlord Emperor's legacy, you should join the human world.

However, it is inappropriate to say these things in public; Fang Ping and Tian Bi should communicate privately.

"What advice does the Sword Master have for me?"

With strength reaching the eighth level, their spiritual power is incredibly strong, even for a beginner martial arts expert. They had already seen what was happening here.

That's why they were able to react so quickly; as soon as they were threatened, they came out immediately.

Novice martial artists are all very warlike; they need to seek breakthroughs in battle.

If they weren't afraid of causing misunderstandings, they would have stepped forward long ago.

"I wouldn't presume to offer advice; I just have a small question that I need to confirm."

Zhang Haoran said without any politeness, "I heard that you know a unique skill called 'Primordial Martial World'!"
Is it possible to block the enemy's fundamental amplification?

Tianbi's expression turned serious, but he still nodded in agreement, saying, "You're right."

The reason we were able to fight against the original powerhouses for over a thousand years was because of the Primordial Martial World.

As long as you are within the area covered by the Primordial Martial World, your source amplification can be isolated.

Without these external forces, your inherently powerful beings are almost defenseless.

Zhang Haoran didn't care about the other party's sarcasm. The other party had been beaten so badly back then that he could only eke out a living on a few continents. It was understandable that he had resentment in his heart.

He glanced at the Heavenly Kings brought by Tianbi and said indifferently, "Can they all use the Primordial Martial Heaven and Earth?"

Tianbi's pupils contracted, and his heart tightened. He seemed to understand his plan, but he still answered truthfully, "It's possible, it's possible..."

However, that would come at a huge cost.

If we fight side by side, using the Primordial Martial World will also affect you, making it somewhat counterproductive. The Emperor's strength is too great; the Primordial Martial World cannot completely isolate the source amplification.

On the contrary, your strength will drop by several levels.

Two cold glints flashed in Zhang Haoran's eyes. He said coldly, "We're challenging an Emperor. How can we expect to avoid paying a price?"

Everyone here today is prepared to perish.

So, please don't mention the cost or anything like that.

If necessary, we would even self-destruct to kill the enemy.

"My only question is whether the Initial Martial World can be used on a specific person, rather than covering an entire area."

Tianbi hesitated only slightly before saying, "Trapping just one person is fine!"

However, the effect will be much weaker, and it won't last very long.

If I were to activate the Primordial Martial World, I should be able to trap the Human Emperor for a while. However, in doing so, my strength would inevitably decline, making it impossible for me to directly withstand the Emperor's attacks.

When facing other powerful beings of the same origin, Tianbi felt a sense of superiority from the bottom of his heart. When fighting against those of the same level, he was not afraid of anyone.

But when facing Zhang Haoran, he felt a little apprehensive.

It's not surprising that Tianbi felt this way. Sword Technique's Heart-Slaying ability is almost the nemesis of beginner martial artists. Their blood and qi are much larger than those of the Origin Powerhouse, and once they lose control, they are almost certain to die.

"no!"

Zhang Haoran resolutely refused, saying, "The Initial Martial World cannot be initiated by you."

You inherited the legacy of the Overlord Emperor, possessing an incredibly strong physical body and a pair of iron arms, making you perfect as a meat shield.

I see that the people who came with you are also quite powerful, so let them be the ones to launch the Initial Martial World!

If one doesn't work, try two; if two don't work, try three. Multiple people working together will always yield some results.

A flicker of pain flashed in Tianbi's eyes, only to be replaced by hatred.

The cost of activating the Primordial Martial World was considerable. If it could be used as freely as a battle technique, they wouldn't have been defeated back then.

If the Heavenly Arm activates the Initial Martial World, it's not too bad; at most, it will only cause a severe loss of vital energy and a decline in strength.

If someone else initiates it, it will come at the cost of their life; otherwise, it will have no effect on the emperor at all.

However, he didn't say any of this.

As Zhang Haoran just said, they are challenging the emperor, not playing house, and everyone must be prepared to perish.

If he emphasizes the cost, it will make people think that novice martial artists are afraid of death.

At this moment, the five people behind Tianbi stepped forward together, their powerful blood and energy comparable to that of the Seven Heavenly Kings.

One of them first swept his eyes over the crowd with hatred, then resolutely declared, "Heavenly Arm God!"

Let the five of us launch the First Martial World!
"We've been cooperating for a long time, and our strength isn't weak. If we join forces and activate the Primordial Martial World, trapping that scoundrel for a while shouldn't be a problem."

Faced with the temptation to kill the emperor, these people have gone all out, even at the cost of their lives to activate forbidden spells.

Zhang Haoran glanced at the five people. They were all at the seventh level of the Heavenly King realm. Their auras were connected, indicating that they had indeed been cooperating for a long time and were probably following the same path.

With these five people sacrificing their lives to activate the Primordial Martial World, the effect should be even better than the Heavenly Arm.

He nodded in satisfaction and said, "Alright, it's the five of you. As long as you can seal off the Human Emperor's source amplification, we will definitely be able to kill him. Even if we can't kill him, we will make sure he suffers a severe injury that is difficult to recover from."

At this moment, Tianbi reminded him, "Even the initial martial world is not omnipotent, otherwise we would not have been defeated back then."

In the past, there have been supreme experts who tried to trap emperors with the Primordial Martial World.

That was a powerful figure no weaker than the original god. He activated the Primordial Martial World at the cost of his own life, but it only weakened the Eastern Emperor's strength by 30%.

Moreover, the attack didn't last long. All of us who remained joined the siege, but not only did we fail to kill Donghuang, he also slaughtered a large number of us."

Tiandi's expression was pained, as if he were recalling those unbearable past events.

Zhang Haoran sneered inwardly, "That's because you chose the wrong opponent. Is Donghuang an ordinary person?"
They are ranked among the top three in the game.

"You think you can trap him with the Primordial Martial World? You're just courting death."

Combat requires not only strength but also strategy.

If it had been the Spirit Emperor who was trapped back then, they might have succeeded.

If they can actually kill an emperor, they will definitely gain a lot, and it is possible that several beginner martial artists with the strength to break through the ninth level will appear.

Once they possess the strength to rival the Emperor, the struggle between the Origin and the Primordial Martial can continue, and history will be rewritten.

Unfortunately, there is no if in this world.

They were just unlucky; they overestimated themselves and insisted on challenging someone they couldn't afford to offend.

Perhaps it is fate that the initial martial arts will inevitably be replaced by the origin, while these people can only eke out a living.

Zhang Haoran didn't say these words aloud. Now that they were comrades-in-arms, it was best not to hurt each other too much.

It's estimated that the reason this novice martial artist is willing to make such a big sacrifice is because he wants to accomplish what he couldn't do back then; it's become an obsession.

Tianbi took a deep breath and continued, "Sword Master! Don't overestimate the power of the Primordial Martial World, nor underestimate the Emperor."

Otherwise, the tragedy of that year will be repeated.

We must be fully prepared and make good use of this time. Even if we can't kill the Human Emperor, we must cripple him.
Otherwise, their sacrifice would have been in vain.

"If the Human Emperor can unleash his full power, he will crush even the strongest beings, and many people will die in the process."

People in the Three Realms hold emperors in awe, knowing they are powerful, but they are not entirely clear on the exact extent of their power.

After all, after the establishment of the Heavenly Court, the emperor rarely took action, and even when he did, few people were able to witness it.

Tianbi had once faced off against the Emperor head-on and knew very well how terrifying the Emperor was.

Otherwise, how could Lin Zi, a mere sixth-level Heavenly King, possibly prevent so many Heavenly Kings from leaving the Initial Martial Continent?

It wasn't that they couldn't kill Lin Zi, but rather that they feared angering the Emperor and completely severing the lineage of the Initial Martial Arts.

Zhang Haoran understood what Tianbi meant and didn't dare to underestimate the Emperor. Doubling one's Qi and Blood would result in crushing damage; this was common sense, how could he not know that?

However, he waved his hand dismissively and said, "Don't worry, I have my own plans!"
I called you over here simply to reduce unpredictability, not to have you play as the main force.

Besides, you're not qualified to be the main force. You only have one supreme expert. Look how many we have on our side.

Since Laozi dared to bring the false emperor down to the mortal realm, he naturally has ways to weaken his power and won't let everyone die.

At this point, he glanced at Emperor Fengtian, seemingly asking if the other party was confident in sealing the Emperor's original Dao.
