High Martial Arts: Starting with a Martial Saint Peak Cultivation

Shadowblade shuddered and quickly patted his chest to pledge his loyalty.

"Don't worry, boss! My loyalty to you is as clear as day! Anyone who wants to harm you will have to step over my dead body first!"

"I will definitely protect our leader and watch him ascend to the level of a true god, and even become the strongest in the entire universe!"

Its eyes were full of sincerity.

Only it knows how much of this sincerity is genuine.

Chen Yuan ignored its flattery.

Ming Sha lay sprawled on the ground, his vertical pupils filled with despair.

It had just secretly checked its own soul and found that it was exactly as Chen Yuan had said.

That contract bound its life tightly to Chen Yuan's.

Its fall will have no impact on Chen Yuan.

But if Chen Yuan were to perish... it would instantly be buried with him!

"Depend on!"

Ming Sha cursed inwardly.

This human is too insidious.

It now regrets it terribly. Why did it take that curious glance back then?

If you don't look at it, you won't be targeted.

If you're not targeted, you won't be pulled out of the crack; if you're not pulled out, you won't be locked in the Investiture of the Gods Mirror.

You won't be tortured if you're not locked up.

If they hadn't been tortured, they wouldn't have been forced to swallow that damned Imperial Pill.

One step wrong, step by step wrong.

Now look what's happened, he's lost his life.

Ming Sha grew angrier the more he thought about it, but dared not show it on his face.

It looked up at Chen Yuan and suddenly remembered something: it seemed that it had just mentioned that "solution".

Travel through the temporal turbulence to the territory of the gods and kill them before the god is resurrected.

What if Chen Yuan really adopts this method and enters the Heavenly Cave Rift...?

A flicker of fear flashed in Ming Sha's vertical pupils.

No!

Absolutely not!

Its expression immediately changed, and its tone became unbelievably sincere.

"Um... Boss, the method I just mentioned isn't actually very reliable."

Chen Yuan raised an eyebrow and looked at it deliberately, asking, "Oh?"

Ming Sha swallowed hard and quickly explained.

"The spacetime turbulence zone is extremely dangerous. If you are not familiar with it, it is easy to get lost and never be able to come back."

"Even we beings from the ruins of countless worlds try to avoid going into that area if we can."

"That's too dangerous! It's really too dangerous!"

"Boss, your health is precious; you absolutely mustn't take any risks!"

It looked completely sincere.

His eyes were full of the look that said, "I'm doing this for your own good."

But what it was thinking was... "You can't die in there! If you die, I'll die with you!"

I don't want to die with you.

Chen Yuan looked at its appearance and a smile appeared on his lips.

He guessed it.

The spacetime turbulence zone is definitely not as simple and easy as Ming Sha just said.

This guy deliberately revealed the method at the beginning, just to lure him in.

They would use the gods to get rid of him so they could regain their freedom.

Now that he realizes his life is tied to his, his attitude immediately changes.

I was afraid he would actually go.

"Alright."

Chen Yuan waved his hand.

"If you dare to try any more tricks on me, don't blame me for being impolite."

Ming Sha trembled and quickly lowered his head.

"Yes, yes, yes, I will never dare to do it again!"

"Your subordinate will certainly be obedient and would never dare to have any disloyal thoughts!"

Chen Yuan did not pursue the matter further.

With a thought, he took out several pills from his infinite storage space.

Eighth-tier top-grade healing pill.

"have eaten."

Chen Yuan casually tossed the pill to Ming Sha.

"Take care of your injuries."

Ming Sha took the pill and quickly put it in his mouth and swallowed it.

The elixir entered the stomach.

A warm energy spread through my body.

Its wounds began to heal slowly, and its shattered scales gradually recovered.

Although its speed was not as fast as when Chen Yuan used the Divine Spring of All Things before, it was still much faster than when it recovered on its own.

"Thank you, boss..."

Ming Sha lowered his head, his voice filled with awe.

It has now completely resigned itself to its fate.

My life is already tied to someone else's hands, what else can I do but accept my fate?

The shadow shrank to the size of a figurine and landed on Chen Yuan's shoulder. Chen Yuan stood up and glanced at everyone present.

Zhou Qing, Chen Tianling, Holy Dragon Guard, Shadow Blade, Netherworld Fiend...

"Let's go to the conference room."

He strode towards the door.

......

Demon-Suppressing Fortress, Conference Room.

A long table was filled with people sitting on both sides.

Chen Yuan sat in the main seat, and Zhou Qing sat to his right.

Chen Tianling stood behind Chen Yuan with the Holy Dragon Guards. The aura of the eleven Martial Saints made the air in the conference room more tense.

Shadowblade and Netherworld Demon squatted in the corner, obediently serving as background figures.

The shadowy creature perched on Chen Yuan's shoulder, its small eyes half-open and half-closed.

The holographic screen lit up, and the online meeting of the Dragon Warrior Division began.

Apart from the eleven Martial Saints of the Holy Dragon Guard, all twelve other elders were present.

Faces appeared on the screen, each with a different expression.

"Chief Zhou, Chief Chen, what happened?"

The Sixth Elder, Ning Yutang, was the first to speak, keenly sensing that something was amiss.

Zhou Qing took a deep breath and spoke in a steady voice.

"I've gathered everyone here today to announce something very important."

He paused, his gaze sweeping over every face on the screen.

"A powerful race called the Gods is plotting a plan in the ruins of the myriad worlds, with the aim of destroying the will of Earth."

"Once the will of Blue Star collapses, all the alien races in the Heavenly Cave will descend upon Blue Star in their full glory."

"At that time, the human race on Earth will face annihilation..."

The words fell.

There was a moment of silence in the conference room.

then.

"What?!"

The second elder suddenly stood up, his face ashen.

"The will of Earth has collapsed? All alien races have reached their peak?"

"How is this possible?!"

The Third Elder's expression also changed.

"Chief Zhou, is this information reliable?"

Zhou Qing nodded.

"reliable."

He glanced at Ming Sha in the corner.

"The source of the information is a half-step tenth-level alien race from the Netherworld Cave, who has already been subdued by Chief Chen."

All eyes turned to the dark red figure in the corner.

Ming Sha lowered his head, trying to minimize his presence.

Silence fell over the meeting room again, and everyone's faces turned somber.

The will of Earth collapsed, and the alien races descended at their peak.

Either of these two words alone is terrifying enough, but put together they are a nightmare!

"What about time?"

Ning Yutang was the first to calm down, her voice steady.

"How long until the Protoss make their move?"

Zhou Qing replied, "It could take anywhere from a few months to half a year."

"In other words, we only have a maximum of six months to prepare."

Ning Yutang frowned.

Half a year... is too short.

The Ninth Elder clenched his fists in frustration: "Six months... what can we possibly do?"

"How can we possibly stop those Tier 10 alien races in their full power within those massive celestial caves?"

"Even if Chief Chen can hold off one, what about the others?"

"Half-step to the tenth level, the ninth level... their sheer numbers alone could crush us."

The atmosphere in the meeting room grew increasingly heavy.

Anxiety and unease were written all over everyone's faces.

Chen Yuan leaned back in his chair, a smile playing on his lips as he looked at the tense expressions on everyone's faces.

"Alright, stop making such a long face."

His tone was relaxed.

"The situation isn't that bad."

All eyes turned to him.

Chen Yuan continued, "First, we have six months, which is enough time for me to do a lot of things."

He didn't elaborate.

But the confidence in his tone made everyone present feel inexplicably at ease.

"Secondly, the will of Earth still exists."

"It probably won't be that easy for the Protoss to dismantle it, otherwise they wouldn't have been planning for so long."

"third......"

Chen Yuan paused, his gaze sweeping over everyone present.

"Even if the alien races descend at their full strength, we are not without the power to fight back."

"My current cultivation level is mid-stage Martial God, but it may not be mid-stage in six months."

He spoke of it casually.

But everyone could sense the weight in his words.

Late-stage Martial God? Or peak Martial God? Or perhaps...?

No one dared to think further.

But Chen Yuan's words were like a shot in the arm, significantly easing the atmosphere in the meeting room.

Zhou Qing suppressed his unease.

"In any case, we must prepare for the worst."

He looked at the elders on the screen.

"This crisis affects all of humanity; it's not just a matter for our Great Xia Kingdom alone. We must unite all human forces on Earth to deal with it together."

The Second Elder nodded.

"Director Zhou is right. No one can remain unaffected at a time like this."

The Third Elder picked up the conversation.

"Those forces must receive advance notice and prepare for battle; their troops, supplies, defenses... everything must be redeployed."

"High-ranking leaders and mid-to-low-level troops must accept unified command; fighting independently will only lead to faster defeat."

Ning Yutang added.

"In addition to military preparations, logistical support must also keep up. Spirit crystals, pills, equipment... these consumables must be stockpiled in advance."

"The supply line must not be cut off once war breaks out."

Zhou Qing nodded.

"I will make arrangements for the Ministry of Resources, but relying solely on our Great Xia Kingdom is definitely not enough. Resources from other forces must also be allocated in a unified manner."

Everyone chimed in with their own details.

A plan to unite all forces gradually took shape during the discussions.

There is only one core principle.

All human forces on Earth must unite, under unified command and coordination.

And command...

Zhou Qing remained silent for a moment before voicing the question that everyone knew the answer to but dared not speak of.

"This plan is good, but will other factions... agree to it?"

There was a moment of silence in the conference room.

Yes.

Will other forces agree?

Would the leaders of those forces be willing to hand over their armies to the Great Xia Kingdom for command and their resources for allocation?

Even if they know in their hearts that this is for the greater good, they may not agree verbally.

Especially in the country of America.

Smith has always been arrogant and proud.

Make him back down?

difficult.

At this time.

Leaning back in his chair, listening to the discussion, Chen Yuan remained mostly silent, his gaze calm.

"If they disagree, I'll help them agree."

The conference room fell silent instantly, and all eyes were on Chen Yuan.

He spoke as if it were a trivial matter, but the weight in his tone was clear to everyone!

Help them agree.

Zhou Qing's lips twitched as he looked at Chen Yuan.

Faced with absolute power, one has no choice but to agree.

The first Martial God on Earth, mid-stage Martial God.

With that status in place, who would dare say "no"?

"Then it's settled."

Chen Yuan stood up and glanced at everyone present.

"On the Great Xia Kingdom side, prepare according to the plan we just discussed."

"We have also notified other factions that if any faction disagrees, they should provide me with a list of those who disagree."

"I'll go talk to them."

The two words sound so light and airy.

But everyone knows that this "talk" isn't the kind of talk where you sit down and have tea...
