Martial arts have become extinct worldwide, yet I am forced to have a large family.

The liquid flowed down his arm, and a tearing pain instantly spread throughout his body.

"Senior Liang, did you just experience this kind of pain?"

Yang Xian felt that every inch of his flesh and blood, every bone in his body, was being forcibly broken down and then reassembled.

It hurts, but the results are good!

The Four Realms!

Five Realms!

Six Realms!

……

Yang Xian's aura surged at an unbelievable speed.

The massive resources redeemed from the system shop transformed into a torrent of pure energy, continuously surging into his body.

However, just as his realm was about to touch the barrier of the ninth realm, the surging torrent of energy came to an abrupt halt.

[Ding! Host has exhausted all points!]

Yang Xian's cultivation level ultimately reached the peak of the eighth realm.

There is still a huge gap between us and the Ninth Realm.

"Have I run out of points?"

Yang Xian was somewhat unwilling.

Having come this far, they were ultimately unable to break through to the ninth realm due to insufficient resources.

Is this the only way forward?

"Bang!"

Yang Xian slammed his fist into the metal wall beside him, leaving a deep fist-shaped dent in the sturdy wall.

A sense of powerlessness welled up inside me.

Going out now to face that terrifying monster would be no different from suicide.

Not only will they not be of any help, they will also be a burden to others!

"Where...where can we find any more resources?!"

A moment later, Yang Xian suddenly raised his head, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.

"Oh, right!"

"There's one more place!"

------

Above Nanhai City.

"boom!"

Liang Gaoyi's figure was knocked away again, and the golden light dimmed a little more.

However, instead of crashing to the ground in a sorry state as before, he managed to stabilize himself in mid-air, dissipating most of the force.

He was indeed taking hits, but he was also adapting to the fighting style of the Ninth Realm at an astonishing speed.

In that brief moment, his understanding of the laws deepened considerably.

Although it is still far inferior to that true god, at least it has a sliver of a chance to fight back.

"Drink!" Liang Gaoyi seized the opportunity and tried to throw another punch.

"Useless!" The demon god easily dodged and scoffed, "With your meager skills, you can't possibly hurt me!"

"Is that so?" Liang Gaoyi wiped the golden blood from his lips and retorted without backing down, "Then why did you dodge just now?"

Seeing that the other party still refused to back down, the demon god raised his hand and unleashed another shockwave.

"Stop getting too cocky!"

The attack had locked onto Liang Gaoyi's aura and should have hit its target every time.

This time, however, Liang Gaoyi's figure only swayed slightly before he brushed past the shockwave.

The demon god's purple eyes narrowed, finally realizing that something was wrong.

"My power... is fading?"

It could sense that the power of law emanating from the abyss rift seemed to be slightly disturbed, becoming less smooth.

"Did you find it?" Liang Gaoyi, hovering not far away, spoke slowly:

"Did you really think those seemingly useless attacks I just made were just a retaliation?"

"Every attack I launch is actually aimed at disrupting your connection with the Abyss!"

The demon god's expression changed slightly, and he subconsciously glanced back at the spatial rift in the distance.

The pitch-black rift was flickering erratically, and the spatial structure at its edges showed signs of disorder, severely disrupting the passage between the two realms.

"I've already figured it out..." Liang Gaoyi's voice rang out again:

"The limit of your body is only the peak of the eighth realm."

"Your true reliance comes more from the blessing of the laws of the abyss itself."

"Without it, beating me won't be so easy."

"Humans... love to play tricks!" the demon god roared angrily, and charged at Liang Gaoyi once again.

The two sides clashed again.

Just as Liang Gaoyi said, the Demon God's combat power was significantly weakened after losing some of the support of the laws.

Although Liang Gaoyi was still at a disadvantage, it was no longer a one-sided crushing defeat, but a fight that could barely go back and forth.

Inside the city, everyone saw the golden light in the sky regain its footing and even begin to fight back, and their extinguished hope was rekindled!

They roared and shouted, cheering on the golden figure in the sky.

Hearing the voices below, a savage glint flashed in the demon god's purple eyes:

"Human, you've really pushed me to the limit!"

"Since I can't deal with you, I'll deal with these noisy ants first!"

With a flap of its wings, it instantly broke free from Liang Gaoyi's entanglement and arrived directly above the core area.

It looked down at the tiny figures below and let out a cold laugh.

"Feel the wrath of the gods!"

After speaking, the demon god slightly raised his hand and swung it sharply towards the city below.

In an instant, countless destructive purple lightning bolts roared through the clouds in the sky!

Each bolt of lightning contained enough power to easily kill an eighth-realm Martial Saint!

This is an attack that no human can withstand!

"Oh no, it's attacking us!" Shen Qingtong's expression changed drastically, and he roared frantically into the communicator, "Everyone! Find cover immediately! Hurry!"

"Boom—!"

Amidst flashes of purple light, it poured down in fury.

At this critical moment, a golden figure appeared instantly on the top of the city's tallest building.

Liang Gaoyi opened his arms and unleashed the last of his true energy without reservation.

hum!

An enormous golden shield instantly expanded, enveloping the entire core area.

Liang Gaoyi must choose to absorb all the damage in order to ensure the safety of the people below.

Rumble...!

The devastating purple lightning struck the golden shield, unleashing a deafening roar.

The shield trembled violently, and ripples spread across its surface.

The entire city of Nanhai was shaking violently, as if the end of the world had arrived!

The first wave of thunder attacks has ended.

The golden light emanating from Liang Gaoyi weakened considerably, and he could no longer hold back a mouthful of golden blood, which dripped down his chin.

"How utterly foolish!" The demon god sneered at the sight. "To actually withstand my divine punishment for a bunch of ants? Let me see how many times you can withstand it!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a second wave, a third wave... even more violent purple lightning struck down one after another!

The golden shield's light flickered and trembled under the bombardment of thunder, as if it might shatter at any moment.

Countless people in Southsea City hid in crumbling shelters, feeling the earth tremble violently and hearing the sounds of impending doom coming from the outside world.

"Lord Martial God...you will definitely win! You will!"

"Please, please hold on!"

"..."

Prayer was the only thing they could do.

Xu Junhao used his last bit of true energy to create a precarious protective shield.

Jiang Xingtian, who was on his last breath, was in the same situation.

Shen Qingtong stood on the broken wall and gave his final command to all the martial artists who could still move.

"All martial artists! Activate your true energy, stabilize the buildings! Block those shockwaves! We cannot allow any civilian to be injured in front of us!"

At the top of the building, Liang Gaoyi's knees trembled violently, and he was about to collapse at any moment.

"Junior Yang...I'm sorry..."

"Senior... I can't take you home..."

His vision blurred and his consciousness began to fade.

But he knew he couldn't kneel.

The God of War has his own dignity!

The South China Sea has its own backbone!

China has its own pride!

Human beings possess an indomitable spirit that will never bend!

Liang Gaoyi gritted his teeth and used his last bit of strength to straighten his bent body.

"I can't give up yet!!"

"Hold on... just a little longer..."

"Below my feet... lies the entire South China Sea!"
