Gao Wu: You have science, and I have magic!

Chapter 244 You are right, just a simple dish
Facing the combined attack of five armies, Ye Qingzhou moved his body and five-colored divine light bloomed behind him. Gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, all kinds of colors illuminated everything.

Although the five bronze statues were created by refining weapons, their materials and energy were all within the system of the Five Elements circulation. Therefore, when the five-colored divine light shone on them, they were immediately unable to move and were fixed in place.

"Five-colored divine light, the Feather Clan's unique skill? Interesting little fellow..."

The mysterious voice was rough and bold, and it suddenly stirred up waves in Ye Qingzhou's heart: "If it's just like this, you are not qualified to pass the test."

Five golden-red flames were seen gushing out from the ground and sinking into the bodies of the five bronze statues. Then, the bronze statues underwent amazing changes from the inside out.

They became even bigger and more ferocious, with a pair of huge golden horns growing on their heads. In their scarlet eyes, blood-red flames constantly flowed, emitting a terrifying heat current.

This is a flame full of divinity. The essence of its power is the violent fluctuation of negative emotions. Therefore, it is not included in the five elements. It is a complete entity with incredible and terrifying power.

"Heart-burning fire!?"

Ye Qingzhou was shocked at first, but then he was filled with endless joy.

It's really hard to find a place to break through the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it!
One of the nine divine fires is the Heart-Burning Earth Fire. This is a poisonous fire that originates from the core of the earth and fuses with the negative emotional energy of the spiritual world. It is full of evil spirit and can easily arouse the desires of living beings, pollute people's consciousness, and corrupt their minds.

With the blessing of the Burning Heart Earth Fire, the five bronze statues have reached a new level of strength, having broken through from the master level to the grandmaster level. Every move they make can attract the evil fire of the earth, and every move they make has the power to melt gold and iron.

clang clang ~
After just a brief exchange of moves, Ye Qingzhou was in danger and narrowly escaped death several times.

The sharp edges of the five weapons, spear, halberd, axe, shield and bow and arrow, had extremely alarming destructive power. Each attack carried the force of fire. Under the impact of high temperature and high pressure, if Ye Qingzhou's Indestructible Golden Body had not been cultivated to the level of mastery and able to withstand the damage from the master, he would have been defeated long ago.

The Baking Furnace of Heaven and Earth was opened. Ye Qingzhou held the Yin in his arms and the Yang in his arms, madly absorbing the opponent's fire evil into his body, and used the Baking Furnace of Heaven and Earth to forcibly refine it into the purest energy.

immediately……

Start in second gear, explosion mode!
After Ye Qingzhou used the Heaven and Earth Furnace to absorb and refine the Heart-Burning Earth Fire, his own skills reached a new level. With the six fires combined into one, the power of his fire-attributed moves suddenly increased by a full thirty-six times!
Zheng~
The Yan Emperor's sword was unsheathed, and its mighty power was like a huge sun falling into the mortal world.

The Six Ding Divine Fire, the Red Lotus Karma Fire, the Fiery Sun Sky Fire, the Yin Wind Ghost Fire, the Vermillion Bird Divine Fire, the Burning Heart Earth Fire, the Six Divine Fires, each divided into yin and yang, intersected and entangled on the sword edge.

Then, a mysterious aura suddenly arose.

Holding the magic weapon, Ye Qingzhou suddenly stepped into the realm of super speed and displayed amazing sword skills.

Divine weapons and imperial weapons!

Li Huo Liekong!

This is a special martial art that can only be activated with the blessing of the peerless divine weapon, the Yan Emperor Sword. The thirty-six-fold increase in the power of fire-attributed moves makes it the most powerful killing move in Ye Qingzhou's hands.

At the same time, Ye Qingzhou also displayed the super-level martial arts that he had learned by himself...

Secret sword, super-class martial arts, divine edge and ultimate shadow!
bang~
As Ye Qingzhou took a step forward, his body rolled up a wave of air, and the hard ground beneath his feet exploded instantly. With the violent recoil force, he stepped into the ultimate super-speed realm.

The golden feather robe and flowing cloud boots on his body were constantly rubbing against the air violently, emitting blazing flames.

The speed of the blade is so fast that it can destroy any trace!

This sword simplifies the complex, condensing all the moves Ye Qingzhou has learned in his life into one sword, condensing it into the fastest and strongest sword.

As long as it is extremely fast, it will be unmatched.

Stand at thirty!

Ye Qingzhou finally stepped into the super-speed realm of thirty times the speed of sound. He swung his sword and the speed was so fast that it was incredible and shocking.

At the age of thirty, people from all the countries on Blue Star would stand up respectfully if they saw such a swift sword.

With such a sword speed, the martial arts master is just a stronger ant.

One sword after another, as fast as flowing light.

No sound is heard, no shadow is seen!
Finally, after hundreds of sword lights flashed alternately, the five-weapon war statues were all shattered.

Rumble~
It was not until this time that the rolling air waves transmitted the sound, and the sonorous and sharp sound seemed to tear the eardrums and reach the human heart.

At this moment, Ye Qingzhou's whole body was red, a large amount of water vapor was evaporating like smoke, and he was also gasping for breath.

The astonishing consumption in the second-level explosion mode far exceeds the ordinary overclocking mode. What's more, in just a short moment just now, Ye Qingzhou instantly slashed out more than a hundred sword moves of Li Huo Liekong and Shen Feng Jueying.

Each sword is enough to kill a top master who has reached the third level of the heavenly realm.

Each sword is enough to cut off a medium-sized warship with a displacement of 5,000 tons.

He used this kind of sword moves over a hundred times!
"This should pass, right?"

Ye Qingzhou has already exerted his full strength, even using the divine weapons and emperor's weapons, activating the Heaven and Earth Baking Furnace and the second-level explosion mode. Only in this way can he, at the level of a martial arts master, kill the grandmaster-level Five Weapons War Statue.

He is really squeezed dry now, not a drop is left.

However, in the bloody arena, five iron-blooded images of golden swords and iron horses emerged out of thin air, and the damaged war images quickly returned to their original state. They stood up again and displayed the cultivation level of a Martial Saint.

"Fuck me!"

Ye Qingzhou gritted his teeth, his hands holding the sword were shaking, he wanted to die now.

What kind of rubbish test is this?

It would be fine if he was surrounded and killed by enemies of higher levels, but now he actually has to jump two major realms. With the cultivation of a martial arts master, he is going to face five Five Weapons War Statues at the level of Martial Saint head-on?
This guy is going to win with his head!

I'm going to fight you!
Even in a desperate situation, Ye Qingzhou never gave up. While cursing in his heart, he ignited his fighting spirit with great willpower and overcame his fear of death.

Even if I die, I will die in battle with dignity!
The Heaven and Earth Furnace in his body started to run at high speed again, and countless energies gathered. Five dragons flew up behind Ye Qingzhou, performing the Five Emperors Dragon Sword Technique and charging towards the Five Weapons War Statue.

After a while...

Ye Qingzhou held the sword to the ground with both hands, trying to hold up his broken body. He was now covered in wounds, but he couldn't even hurt his opponent's skin. Even so, he did not admit defeat.

His eyes, full of fighting spirit, were still fixed on the opponent in front of him.

"Fail the test, die."

The warrior statue holding a spear made a sudden lunge, knocking the Yan Emperor's sword out of Ye Qingzhou's hand and stabbing it fiercely into his chest.

Immediately, the golden body was broken, blood splattered, and the spear pierced through the body from behind.

"Is that the end?"

Ye Qingzhou's soul fell into a vortex of death and his consciousness was submerged in darkness.

…………

"you are dead."

"I am dead?"

"Yes."

In a daze, Ye Qingzhou opened his eyes, and what came into his sight was a man with ears like swords and horns on his head.

He has a strong physique and a majestic bearing, standing before our eyes like a mountain with no peak to be seen.

Ye Qingzhou had once felt the same aura in Yinglong's flesh and blood, but the aura of the man in front of him was even more majestic and passionate than that of Yinglong.

Ye Qingzhou instantly understood the identity of the man in front of him—the War Emperor Chi You!
At the same time, the strong man in front of him is also the ancient Martial Emperor who is respected as the Lord of War by the Dongji Kingdom. The military philosophy of the Dongji Kingdom originated from him.

"Meet the Lord of Arms."

After the ceremony, Ye Qingzhou examined his own condition and immediately realized that he had once again entered the spiritual world, and had entered the kingdom of God opened up by the War Emperor Chi You.

Am I really dead?

After trying for a while, Ye Qingzhou found that he could not return to the real world, and could not even sense Xu Yuebing's existence, which meant that he could no longer use the signposts in his mind to return the same way.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Chi You spoke again, but the information he revealed made Ye Qingzhou feel confused.

"The Emperor is waiting for me?"

"good."

Chi You seemed to admire Ye Qingzhou quite a bit: "A long time ago, in order to save the world, I once intended to use the method of slaughtering the world with blood, blocking the disaster of Yuan Qi, closing the Heavenly Gate forever, and preventing the Taixu Divine Dynasty from crossing the spiritual world and invading the mother planet." Upon hearing this, Ye Qingzhou immediately realized that Chi You was most likely talking about the Battle of Zhuolu.

But according to historical records, Chiyou suffered a crushing defeat in this battle, his body was scattered, and the Jiuli tribe disappeared in the long river of history.

"The Green Emperor, the Sword Emperor, the Yellow Emperor, and the Flame Emperor all disagreed with my plan, so they attacked together. Even the Kunlun Divine Mountain secretly assisted the Yellow Emperor and Yinglong, and killed me in the battle between the two armies. Before he died, the Green Emperor told me that in the future, someone would come with the hope of ending the 'predestined fate' to prove me wrong."

After Chi You finished speaking, he looked at Ye Qingzhou with his piercing eyes: "Tell me, did I really do something wrong back then?"

Killing the world with blood, destroying all those who practiced Yuanqi martial arts, and then closing the Heavenly Gate and sealing off the spiritual world, there is indeed a certain probability that the Taixu Divine Dynasty can be prevented from invading the Blue Planet.

Unfortunately, there are no ifs in this world.

Ye Qingzhou replied: "The War Emperor is not at fault."

"Oh?"

This answer surprised Chi You: "Then why did I lose?"

"Because the War Emperor is too weak."

"Ok?"

Chi You was stunned when he heard the voice, then he laughed heartily: "Hahahaha, you are right, the reason I lost at that time was not because I was wrong, but because I was too weak!"

The emperors joined forces, with the support of the Queen Mother of the West and some high-ranking officials of the Scale and Feather tribes. In comparison, the War Emperor Chi You was indeed a weakling.

"You really suit my taste!"

Chi You laughed loudly and said to Ye Qingzhou: "How about it? Do you want to become my disciple and inherit my teachings? When your magical powers are fully developed, there will be few people in the world who can rival you."

Ye Qingzhou looked puzzled: "Didn't they say that I failed the test?"

"You are wrong. The real assessment only officially begins after you fail."

Then Chi You explained the reason: "Victory and defeat are common in the military. I do not judge heroes by success or failure. In this world, only those who are indomitable and have a fighting spirit that transcends life and death are qualified to inherit the way of fighting the heaven and become my successor."

The way to fight against heaven is the way of natural selection.

Under the avenue, all things compete for life and death, the strong prey on the weak, and only by never-ending battles can they survive!
"The assessment of the Five Weapons Battle Statue has never been a test of strength, but a test of fighting spirit. Therefore, even though Xu Ri Shu has reached the realm of a martial god, he was eventually defeated by the army formation and could only use the method of stealing the sky and replacing the day to save his life."

Chi You looked at Ye Qingzhou and said, "Before, there was a man who was born proud and had the same temperament as me, so I gave him a chance and let him inherit my legacy. Now you are the same, you are unyielding even in death, and your fighting spirit is inextinguishable. As long as you can see through the extremes of life and death, I can give you the same opportunity."

buzz~
Behind Ye Qingzhou, the sword spirit of the Tianxing Sword made a buzzing sound, and it was obvious that it was extremely eager for Chi You's way of fighting against heaven.

The way of fighting against the sky already contains the meaning of conquest and killing, which is very consistent with the way contained in the Heavenly Punishment Sword.

"How about you accept this test?"

Chi You then reminded: "Think clearly, the previous death was fake. If you give up, you can leave the spirit world now and return to your body. But if you accept the test, then if you fail, you will really die."

"I accept."

Ye Qingzhou agreed without hesitation.

Boom~
The moment he agreed, Ye Qingzhou's consciousness was swept into a strange world by the torrent of thought and he became a citizen of the Great Qi Kingdom.

The dream is hazy, like reality or illusion.

Ye Qingzhou found himself turned into a newborn baby. He could not control his own body and could only observe the host's life from a third-person perspective.

The host's name is Brother Niu. He is very unlucky. After all, he was born in a farmer's family in ancient times. Isn't this the worst bad luck in his life?
Since he was old enough to understand, Brother Niu has been helping out at home and doing housework within his ability.

From the age of ten, they have to start working in the fields and doing heavy physical labor.

When he was fifteen years old and mature, his family began to arrange for Brother Niu to get married.

The family used the surplus food they had saved over the years to find him a wife of equal status. Although she was not pretty or virtuous, Brother Niu's family still had to take on a lot of foreign debt because of this.

This is extremely dangerous for Brother Niu, because it means that the family's financial situation will become extremely fragile in the next few years after he gets married.

If there is any mistake, the whole family may not be able to repay the debt, and become landless tenants or even refugees.

So, during the day, Brother Niu had to work hard in the fields, and after finishing the crops, he had to go to the landlord's house to work.

At night, when he returned home, he would hurry up and have children with his wife, while his wife was still young and had good fertility, and they would have as many children as possible.

In the agricultural era, women’s reproductive period was very short, and they generally could not get pregnant after the age of 30.

why?
Because they have to go to work in the fields soon after giving birth, they develop various diseases that prevent them from having children, and their physical potential is exhausted by the difficult life.

What’s worse, some older people can’t even walk.

At four o'clock in the morning, Brother Niu had to go to the fields to work in the dark, and the sun would set at six in the afternoon. He would only eat one meal in the field and another meal when he returned home in the evening.

The food was very light. Because the salt and iron industries were government-run, Brother Niu could only eat expensive salt. Only when he was busy with farm work and sweated too much would he be stingy and add more salt to his rice. Otherwise, he would not be able to replenish the salt intake and would have no energy to work in the afternoon.

During the day, he faced the earth and had his back to the sky, under the scorching sun and sweating profusely. Occasionally, Brother Niu would take a short rest in the shade, and boldly imagine what kind of life the emperor led.

Ye Qingzhou was silent.

This is the life of countless cattle and horses. They are exploited to the limit and never think about why they live such a miserable life.

In the eyes of the powerful people in Da Qi, cattle and horses like Brother Aniu were not considered human beings. They were just a group of "livestock" that reproduced and lived on this land.

The only purpose of its existence is to support the powerful.

Brother Niu's life, like his father's, may not exceed the threshold of thirty-five years old, but he is content with poverty and still works hard to live.

He worked diligently every day, cultivating his one-third acre of land, supporting his elderly mother, and taking care of his wife and children, even though his body became increasingly hunched over.

Unfortunately, his efforts soon became meaningless.

Natural disasters destroyed his hopes, and the heavy taxes of the empire forced him to sell his lovely daughter.

Even so, the natural disasters, famine and plague that followed still took away his mother, wife and son one after another...

Finally, at the age of thirty-five, he lost everything he had, was left alone, and became invincible.

Ye Qingzhou could only watch all this happen but could do nothing. His voice could not reach Brother Niu's ears at all.

On the mass grave, the emaciated Aniu cried until he was hoarse. He could not understand what life meant to him. All he had left was indignation: "Am I born to suffer?"

"Why should I suffer like this!"

The flame of anger was finally ignited at this moment. Even though it was just a spark, it had the potential to spread across the prairie.

Because in the vast land of the empire, there are not one person, not ten people, but hundreds and thousands of people like Brother Aniu.

"Because you are weak."

Ye Qingzhou's words reached Brother Niu's ears for the first time.

After a brief moment of shock, Brother Niu quickly accepted the fact.

Because in troubled times, ghosts are not scary, especially for people who are already in deep despair, ghosts are more likely to become their beliefs.

Soon, under the guidance of Ye Qingzhou, Brother Niu diligently practiced martial arts, and then joined the rebel army. Relying on his sharp swordsmanship, he killed all the enemies on the battlefield, was appreciated, and became the son-in-law of the rebel leader.

After the death of the rebel leader, he took over the military power, won battle after battle, defeated various heroes, and even defeated the army sent by the empire to quell the rebellion.

After ten battles and ten decisive battles, they advanced triumphantly all the way and arrived at Tianjing.

The empire sent a beautiful princess with a letter asking for peace. As long as Brother Niu was willing to stop his troops, he would be crowned king.

"Master Ye, do you think I should accept it?"

Brother Niu looked at the gentle and beautiful princess, and thought of the title of king that was within his reach, and he was moved.

Ye Qingzhou smiled coldly: "If you seek the skin of a tiger, you will be eaten by it in the end. Have you ever been able to endure humiliation and bear heavy burdens for many years in exchange for the good life you desire in your heart?"
