High Martial Arts: Gains one point of health per second, sweeping across the heavens.

Su Jie has completely lost his mind! He no longer cares about the cost, nor does he consider holding back!

"Stepping into the Sky" unleashed unprecedented speed. He transformed into a shooting star burning with blood-red flames, ignoring all the king-level demonic beasts rushing towards him, and charged straight toward the Skeleton Emperor Dragon!

"Roar!" The soul fire of the skeletal imperial dragon flickered, clearly not expecting that this human would still dare to charge forward after losing its protection.

Its bone wings vibrated, and countless pale bone spears shot towards Su Jie like a torrential rain. Each one contained the power of death to pierce mountains and erode souls!

"Shatter for me!" Su Jie roared, his Immortal Martial Bone left hand shining brightly, and with double the power, he threw a punch!

The violent fist energy formed a visible shockwave, shattering and annihilating all the incoming bone spears! His speed didn't decrease; he closed in instantly!

"Die! Die! Die!"

Su Jie, acting like a madman, used his left hand's fist, palm, and fingers alternately, bringing his combat power of 620,000 to the extreme. Combined with the terrifying boost from the Immortal Martial Bone, he frantically bombarded the massive skeleton of the Skeleton Emperor Dragon!

"Bang bang bang bang——!!!"

A series of explosions, as dense as the beating of drums, resounded endlessly! Bones shattered, and soul flames flickered!

The skeletal emperor dragon let out a furious roar. Under Su Jie's enraged and frenzied attack, large cracks appeared on its indestructible bones!

Seeing this, the other two royal-level demonic beasts immediately rushed to their aid! The Nine-Headed Calamity Serpent spewed forth torrents of venom, and the Primordial Savage Elephant King raised its giant foot and stomped down like a pillar of heaven!

Su Jie seemed to have eyes in the back of his head. His "Sky-Stepping Step" was so exquisite that he dodged the poison and trampling at the last second. His body was like a leech, tightly entwining the Bone Emperor Dragon, and all his attacks were poured onto it!

He fought with a style of exchanging injury for injury, risking his life for his life! He withstood the impact of several energy shockwaves, his internal organs trembled, and blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.

If it weren't for the fact that his body had undergone multiple temperings and been nourished by the vitality of the Immortal Martial Bone, his body would have already fallen apart! But he didn't care! There was only one thought in his mind—tear this skeleton apart! Avenge Chairman Chen!

He wanted to seize any opportunity to unleash his attack, which was powerful enough to threaten or even kill a royal-level demon beast!

"Piercing Void Finger!" The thought flashed through Su Jie's mind instantly. Only this energy-consuming yet terrifyingly powerful technique could possibly create a miracle in a desperate situation!

The intense exertion and injuries allowed a sliver of clarity to flash through Su Jie's mind amidst the extreme madness.

He knew that no matter how frantic the conventional attacks were, it would be difficult to completely destroy this skeletal emperor dragon in a short time, given the interference from the other two royal-level demonic beasts!

"We must create an opportunity! An opportunity for the [Void-Piercing Finger] to hit its core soul fire!" Su Jie's eyes were bloodshot, his offensive continued unabated, but his brain was working frantically.

Just then, the skeletal imperial dragon, which had been relentlessly and brutally battered by him in close combat, suddenly let out a soul-shaking roar.

The dark blue soul fire in its head suddenly burst forth with blinding light, and a massive amount of death energy converged madly into its gaping maw at an unprecedented speed.

It was thoroughly enraged and prepared to disregard the cooperation of the other two emperors and forcefully unleash its primal breath to completely annihilate this annoying insect!

It's now!

In order to concentrate this powerful breath, the soul fire defense on its head inevitably weakened and stagnated for a moment!

With all the power used for offense, gaps naturally appeared in the defense!

This fleeting gap was precisely captured by Su Jie, who had been keeping a close eye on the fluctuations of its soul fire!

"Now! Die!"

Su Jie roared, no longer holding back, and unleashed the [Void-Piercing Finger] that he had been secretly preparing!

A massive amount of blood and energy converged at an unprecedented speed toward his left index and middle fingers!

Five hundred thousand! One million! Two million!

Su Jie's eyes were bloodshot, and the veins on his forehead bulged as he relentlessly squeezed every last drop of blood and energy out of his body!

"Not enough! Still not enough! Pour it in!"

He roared in his heart, pushing his blood and qi to an unprecedented three million points!

This is the absolute limit that his physical body and meridians can withstand. Any more and he will probably destroy himself before he can even harm the enemy!

Such terrifying blood and energy were instantly drained away, and the meridians of his entire left arm groaned in agony from the unbearable strain. His skin was instantly covered with fine blood droplets, and his face turned ashen white, as if half of his life had been taken away by this one finger!

As three million units of vital energy were injected, a point of extreme darkness quietly appeared at his fingertips!

That darkness was not nothingness, but a strange phenomenon formed when energy was condensed to its extreme, even swallowing up light!

A destructive wave that distorted space and made souls tremble spread outwards from his fingertips!

"roar?!"

The Skeleton Emperor Dragon, the Nine-Headed Calamity Serpent, and the Primordial Savage Elephant Emperor, who were charging forward, all sensed this deadly threat!

Their momentum faltered, and for the first time, a look of seriousness appeared in their scarlet beast eyes! The destructive power contained in that finger strike made them all feel a chill!

Su Jie roared, pouring all his grief and power into this one finger! He pointed out with a sudden strike!

"laugh--!"

A tiny, almost imperceptible black finger strike silently tore through space, seemingly ignoring the barrier of distance, and instantly appeared in front of the massive, soul-flaming head of the Skeleton Emperor Dragon!

Too fast! Faster than you can imagine!

The skeletal imperial dragon only had time to gather its immense death energy in front of its head, forming a thick gray bone shield!

however--

"puff!"

A soft sound, like a hot knife cutting into solidified grease.

The bone shield, which contained the powerful death energy of the skeletal emperor dragon, was as fragile as paper in front of that black finger strike that had been refined to the extreme, and was instantly pierced through!

The force of the finger strike continued unabated, landing precisely on the very center of its head, on the core of the dark blue soul fire!

"boom--!!!"

It was like an explosion at the soul level! The soul fire of the Skeleton Emperor Dragon, representing life and power, was violently twisted, expanded, and then exploded the instant it was struck by the fingertip of this force that had killed nearly 300 million combat power!

A terrifying, destructive energy was released from within, instantly engulfing its massive skeleton!

"Crack... Boom!!!"

The indestructible pale skeleton of the Bone Emperor Dragon shattered inch by inch at this moment, turning into bone dust that scattered everywhere! Along with its furious and resentful soul fluctuations, it was also annihilated in the core of the explosion!

[Refining the Emperor-level monster "Skeleton Emperor Dragon" yielded 1950 points of Blood Essence!]

One strike! Instant kill!

The Void Finger, containing the terrifying destructive power of nearly three million, directly and fundamentally destroyed a quasi-second-tier royal-level demon beast!

A moment of deathly silence fell over the entire battlefield.

Whether it was the frenzied attacking monsters or the blood-soaked human race, they were all shocked by this earth-shattering finger strike!

However, Su Jie, who unleashed this earth-shattering attack, was in extremely poor condition.

The sudden consumption of three million points of Qi and Blood, concentrated on the fingers of his left hand, caused a tearing pain throughout his entire left arm, as if his meridians were about to break inch by inch!

My left arm hung limply, temporarily numb.

The backlash from the Void-Piercing Finger was extremely terrifying! If his left hand hadn't been infused with the Immortal Martial Bone, making it far more resilient than other martial artists of the same level, this single strike would have crippled his entire left arm!

"roar!!!"

The remaining nine-headed calamity serpent and the Primordial Barbarian Elephant King recovered from their shock and let out a furious roar!

This human actually killed their companion right in front of them! Unforgivable!

The two royal-level demonic beasts abandoned all restraint and charged towards the obviously weakened Su Jie with a ferocious aura that could crush everything!

The nine-headed calamity serpent's nine heads danced wildly, unleashing a net of venom, acid, and corrosive energy!

The Primordial Barbarian Elephant King was like a moving mountain range, with every step causing the earth to shake. Its huge trunk was like a divine whip, lashing fiercely at the human warriors who tried to intercept it!

Su Jie was in a low state at the moment. His left hand, which could exert twice the combat power, was temporarily unusable. With only his right hand and the "Stepping to Heaven" technique, it was impossible for him to withstand two enraged second-tier royal-level demonic beasts at the same time!

At this moment, a squad of War Kings appeared. They were sent by the Federation to protect Su Jie, the eighth-level War King Chen Feng, and the twelve War Kings behind him.

Facing the expectant gazes of everyone, Chen Feng brought news that plunged them into a deep abyss.

"I just received a message that the southern border fortress has also been attacked by a royal-level beast tide!"

Most of our human race's War Gods are guarding the Martial Arts Great Wall in the Eastern Territory, while the rest are currently seeking breakthroughs in the deep dungeon world of the Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Palace, unable to escape at all!

Others, however, are stationed in several crucial secret realms within the human territory that must not be lost, and therefore will generally not come here!

"We're unlikely to receive any reinforcements! We're truly fighting alone now! We can only rely on ourselves!"

His words were like the cold wind of winter, blowing away the last glimmer of hope in everyone's hearts, but also igniting the most resolute will to die!

Chen Feng led his squad to Su Jie. He didn't roar, but amidst the deafening battle cries, he took a deep look at the genius he was ordered to protect.

Time seemed to freeze for a moment. He spoke in a deep voice, not loud but crystal clear: "Su Jie, live on. The future of humanity needs you."

The next moment, he resolutely turned around, raised his battle sword high, and let out his final battle cry: "Gentlemen, follow me—charge!"

Twelve figures followed closely behind, without hesitation.

"Protect him!!"

"Hold them off! Buy that human prodigy time to recover!!"

The surviving human war kings and warriors also let out a desperate cry! Although they did not know Su Jie, Su Jie was their only hope at this moment!

He proved with that earth-shattering finger strike that he had the ability to threaten or even kill a royal-level demon beast!

On the battlefield, Chen Feng roared to the sky, his blood, martial veins, and martial bones completely reversed and boiled!

He merged with the twelve equally resolute figures, transforming into the most intense and massive pillar of energy, like a second sun rising on the blood-red battlefield, relentlessly crashing into the Primordial Barbarian Elephant King that was accelerating its charge!

"Boom—!!!"

A deafening roar engulfed everything.

A devastating energy storm erupted in front of the Primordial Savage Elephant King, instantly engulfing its massive, mountain-like body!

The shockwave, powerful enough to level hills, slammed into the incredibly tough barbaric leather armor of the Primordial Barbarian Elephant King, causing its unstoppable momentum to abruptly halt, emitting a roar of pain and rage.

Its body, covered with a rock-thick skin, was charred and cracked from the explosion, and dark golden blood seeped out from the cracks like lava.

Although this desperate combined attack failed to kill it, it successfully halted its advance!

After the deafening roar of the self-destruction, the area seemed to fall into a brief vacuum.

The Primordial Savage Elephant King shook its head, which was dazed from the explosion, and let out a deafening roar. The surging beast tide behind it was also stunned and paused in fear by the sudden and terrifying explosion that originated from life.

The light ignited by Chen Feng's team with their lives not only briefly halted the most ferocious attack of the beast tide, but also struck the hearts of every survivor like a heavy hammer.

"For the sake of humanity, kill!"

Without hesitation, several War Kings rushed forward again, forming a final barrier with their bodies in an attempt to stop the advance of the Emperor-level monster!

"Boom!" "Thud!" "Ah—!"

The light from the self-destruction shone brightly again, and the screams of the martial artists continued unabated.

They were willing to risk their lives to buy Su Jie even a single extra breath of time to recover!

Su Jie's eyes were filled with tears as he watched Chen Feng's squad charge into self-destruction and his compatriots fall one after another, using their flesh and blood to buy him a chance to catch his breath!

He frantically activated the "Original Breathing Technique," while the system instantly converted the 1200 points of Qi and Blood Essence he had just acquired into Qi and Blood, injecting them into his parched martial meridians.

The excruciating pain in his left arm was slightly relieved by the nourishment of his abundant blood and qi, but he clearly could not use the Dongxu Finger again for a short period of time.

The two royal-level demonic beasts have already broken through the fragile defenses built with their lives, and their attack is imminent!

A desperate situation! A truly desperate situation!

Su Jie gritted his teeth, channeling his remaining power into his left arm. The light of his immortal martial bone shone brightly once more, preparing for a final, desperate strike!

At this critical moment—

"Buzz—!"

A grand, majestic sword cry, seemingly emanating from the heavens, suddenly resounded throughout the entire battlefield!

A dazzling, galaxy-like, and majestic sword aura, stretching across the sky like divine punishment, slashed down from the distant horizon! Its target was the nine-headed calamity serpent charging at the forefront!

The righteous energy and unparalleled sharpness contained in that sword energy made both royal-level demonic beasts feel a fatal crisis!

"laugh--!"

As the sword energy swept past, one of the nine-headed calamity serpent's heads, spitting venom, was severed in an instant! Dark green venomous blood gushed out like a waterfall!

"Who goes there?!" The Primordial Barbarian Elephant Emperor was shocked and furious. He stopped abruptly and looked warily in the direction from which the sword energy was coming from.

Su Jie also looked up sharply and saw a figure shrouded in a hazy glow, with an aura as deep as the sea and combat power far exceeding that of President Chen Mingyang, walking step by step through the void in the distance.

In his hand, an ancient longsword was emitting a sharp sword light that made the world pale in comparison!
