High Martial Arts: Starting with a Martial Saint Peak Cultivation

The shadow emerged from the spatial rift and returned to the bizarre and chaotic flow of time and space.

The spatial rift behind him slowly closed, and that stable space completely disappeared.

Chen Yuan glanced back and then looked away.

"Let's go, let's keep looking for the way."

The shadowy figure responded and continued to lead the way.

......

Time passed day by day.

Precise timing was impossible amidst the turbulent flow of time, but Chen Yuan silently calculated in his mind that another two days had passed.

In the past two days.

The shadowy figure continued to lead the way, occasionally venturing into the spatial rifts to explore.

The energy of the remnant soul of the true god within Chen Yuan's body has been largely integrated, and his divine power is nearly 50% stronger than before.

He was getting closer and closer to the threshold of becoming a Martial God.

He had a premonition.

Once you're out and have absorbed all the pills refined by your clone, breaking through will be a natural outcome!

Ming Sha squatted beside Chen Yuan, his vertical pupils half-open and half-closed, having completely given up thinking.

Since it can't help anyway, I'll just follow along obediently.

......

Beyond the turbulent flow of spacetime, on Earth.

Western Regions, Demon-Suppressing Fortress.

Zhou Qing sat at his desk, with battle reports from each defensive line displayed on the screen in front of him.

But he couldn't concentrate on reading a single word.

Five days have passed since Chen Yuan was trapped in the spacetime turbulence.

Although Chen Yuan's clone said there was no danger to his life, he wouldn't feel at ease until he saw Chen Yuan himself come out of there.

It wasn't just him.

Throughout the entire Dragon Martial Division, everyone was silently praying for Chen Yuan's safe return.

The Second Elder was in his meditation room. After breaking through to the next realm, he should have been consolidating his cultivation, but he couldn't calm his mind at all.

Every day, she would ask Zhou Qing if he had any news about Chen Yuan.

The same goes for the Third Elder.

Ning Yutang, who had already reached the late stage of Martial Saint, was far away on the Japanese defense line. Every day after finishing her defense duties, she would stand on the city wall and look towards the direction of the Great Xia Kingdom for a while.

Lin Zuyao has fully recovered from his injuries, and the Breakthrough Pill has allowed him to break through to the mid-stage of Martial Saint in a short period of time.

But he couldn't be happy at all, and he would send Zhou Qing a message every day to inquire about Chen Yuan's situation.

Zhou Qing sat in the command room of the Demon Suppression Fortress. On the communication ring in front of him, there were more than a dozen unread messages, all sent by the elders.

The content is the same. Has Chief Chen appeared yet?

His replies were always the same.

Not yet, keep waiting.

Zhou Qing leaned back in his chair and rubbed his temples.

"Chen Yuan, Chen Yuan, you absolutely mustn't get into trouble."

"The Human Alliance has just been formed, and all the defense lines have just been integrated. Everyone is waiting for you, the supreme commander, to return and take charge..."

If anything were to happen to Chen Yuan, the morale of the entire alliance would be severely damaged.

More importantly, the Protoss could make a move at any time.

Without Chen Yuan's powerful late-stage Martial God level strength, how could the human race possibly withstand those tenth-tier alien races?

What can we use to withstand that peak tenth-tier god-lord?

Zhou Qing took a deep breath, suppressing the unease in his heart.

"Chen Yuan, you must come back safely..."

He prayed silently in his heart.

The same prayers were being offered at the highest levels of the various member states of the Human Alliance.

In America, Smith personally contacted Zhou Qing once a day to inquire about Chen Yuan's situation.

Pierre of the Western European Union, Peter of the Polar Bear Kingdom, Amir of India, Carlos of the Southern Union...

Everyone knows that Chen Yuan is the pillar of the Human Alliance.

With him around, the human race still has a fighting chance.

Without other races, the human race is just a disorganized mess, waiting to be defeated one by one by other races.

They didn't want Chen Yuan to die.

I don't want to right now, at least not right now.

......

In the turbulent flow of time and space.

The shadowy figure continued to lead the way.

Suddenly, its body stopped.

The small eyes were fixed on a certain point in the void ahead, without moving.

Chen Yuan noticed its abnormality.

"What's wrong?"

Youying didn't answer immediately, but observed carefully for a while longer.

Then its eyes suddenly lit up.

"Boss! I found it!"

It raised its paw and pointed to a patch of empty space not far away.

"This is it! If we can create a spatial rift here, we can return to Earth!"

Chen Yuan looked in the direction it was pointing.

That void looked no different from the surroundings, with the same bizarre bands of light and cracks.

But when his Eye of Void swept over, he could indeed feel that the space was much thinner than other places.

It's like a natural gap between the turbulent flow of spacetime and the blue planet.

Chen Yuan's lips curled up.

After being trapped for so many days, we finally found a way out.

"it is good."

He did not doubt Shadow's judgment.

The Void Beast has an innate sense of space. If Shadow says we can go back from here, then we definitely can!

"Shadow, stabilize the surrounding space as much as possible."

"I'll open up the crack."

Youying responded and closed her eyes.

An invisible force of void spread out from its body.

The spacetime turbulence within a radius of several hundred meters began to gradually subside, the constantly opening and closing spatial rifts slowly closed, and the raging spacetime storms gradually dissipated.

Centered around the shadow.

A relatively stable region has been formed.

Chen Yuan stood in the center of that stable area, carefully observing the surrounding spatial structure.

The more I look at it, the more fortunate I feel.

Fortunately, his mastery of formations had previously reached the divine level.

The spatial structure here is extremely complex, more troublesome than any formation he had ever set up on Earth.

If one were still at the Saint-level array master level, it would be impossible to open a spatial rift back here.

Chen Yuan raised his hand.

The Dawnbreaker Spear appeared in his palm.

But this time, he wasn't used for fighting; instead, he was used as a medium to break through space.

The spear tip touched the void. Chen Yuan closed his eyes and fully activated his divine-level array skills.

Streaks of array patterns spread out from the tip of the spear, extending in the void like vines.

The array patterns were pale gold, and each one landed precisely on a key point where the space was weak.

The array patterns became more numerous and denser.

Centered on the tip of the spear.

An extremely complex spatial array gradually took shape.

Ming Sha squatted to the side, his vertical pupils fixed on Chen Yuan's movements, not daring to breathe loudly.

It couldn't help at all; all it could do was pray silently.

"We must succeed, we must succeed..."

Although the shadows provide protection within this temporal turbulence, ensuring personal safety.

But it didn't want to stay there any longer.

This place is so depressing.

......

Time passed little by little.

A rare sight: a fine layer of sweat appeared on Chen Yuan's forehead.

Setting up a god-level spatial array in this spacetime turbulence is extremely taxing on one's mental energy.

Fortunately, his soul had undergone multiple enhancements, making it several levels stronger than what a late-stage Martial God should be.

If it were an ordinary Martial God Realm cultivator, they would probably exhaust their mental energy by the time they finished setting it up.

No wonder it was so difficult for those tenth-tier alien races in the sky to open up a stable, large spatial rift.

One day later.

The last rune of the formation was finally completed.

The entire formation emitted a pale golden light, enveloping the void within a radius of several tens of meters.

In the center of the formation.

A tiny spatial rift has been torn open.

It was about ten centimeters long, and you could barely see a sliver of light coming through from the other side.

Chen Yuan let out a long sigh and a smile appeared on his lips.

Only one step left!

With a thought, he took out the Thunder Gathering Pestle from his infinite storage space.

He held the purple-gold short pestle in his palm, and the dense lightning patterns on its surface began to light up.

Chen Yuan aimed the Thunder Gathering Pestle at the tiny spatial rift, and divine power surged wildly into the pestle.

The thunder patterns on the thunder-gathering pestle became brighter and brighter, changing from light purple to dark purple, and then from dark purple to dazzling silver-white.

The purple crystal in the center of the lotus-shaped pestle head shone like a miniature sun.

Countless tiny arcs of electricity leaped out from the crystal, forming a dense network of lightning around the pestle.

The entire Thunder Gathering Pestle exuded a terrifyingly violent aura, causing even the Shadow to unconsciously take a step back.

Chen Yuan gripped the Thunder-Gathering Pestle tightly.

At the most critical juncture of the spatial array's operation, the pestle was suddenly slammed into the crack.

"Open it!"

A silver-white lightning bolt, as thick as a water bucket, shot out from the lightning-gathering pestle and slammed into the ten-centimeter-long spatial rift.

The moment the lightning bolt collided with the crack, a terrifying aftershock, a mixture of lightning and spatial energy, suddenly exploded outwards.

Chen Yuan was prepared; his Azure Sky Saint Cloth instantly covered his entire body, blocking all the aftershocks.

The Shadow immediately erected a void shield, protecting the Netherworld Demon behind it.

The spatial rift began to expand wildly under the bombardment of the lightning pillars.

ten centimeters.

Half a meter.

one meter.

five meters.

ten meters.

In just a few breaths, the crack expanded to tens of meters long, forming a stable spatial passage.

The blue sky and white clouds were clearly visible on the other side of the passage, and a familiar feeling emanated from the passage.

It's the scent of Earth.

It has spiritual energy, the power of the world's origin, and that familiar smell of air.

A burst of wild joy erupted from Ming Sha's vertical pupils.

"It's a success! Boss, it's a success!"

Its voice was trembling.

After being trapped in this godforsaken place for several days, I can finally get out!

Ming Sha looked at Chen Yuan with eyes full of admiration.

He is proficient in formations, alchemy, and combat, and has reached a god-like level in each of them.

This human is practically a legendary all-rounder, with absolutely no weaknesses!

Chen Yuan put away the Thunder Gathering Pestle and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Walk."

He leaped onto the shadow's back, and the demon quickly jumped on as well.

With a flap of its wings, the shadowy creature flew toward the spatial passage.

Just before rushing into the passage, Chen Yuan glanced back at the turbulent spacetime behind him.

Bizarre bands of light, constantly opening and closing spatial rifts, slowly rotating vortexes, and raging storms.

He never wants to come back to this godforsaken place again in his life.

The shadowy figure plunged headlong into the spatial passage.

Inside the passage was a twisted tunnel, with countless points of light flashing by on both sides.

A strong sense of spatial oppression surged from all directions, but unlike the dizzying sensation when entering, the exit was much smoother.

I don't know how much time passed.

It could be a fleeting moment, or it could be a very long time.

The light spot in front of them suddenly exploded, turning into a blinding white light.

......

Yanzhou, Yunlan City.

Over the city center.

The sky, which had been clear and cloudless, suddenly cracked open.

The opening was several tens of meters long, like a giant eye opening in the sky.

Followed by.

A silver-white lightning bolt, as thick as a water bucket, shot out from the opening and slammed straight into the ground.

"boom!"

The lightning bolt struck the city center square, blasting a charred crater several meters in diameter.

Gravel flew everywhere, and dust billowed up!

Fortunately, there were not many people in the square at the time, and no one was injured.

But this immediately terrified the surrounding citizens.

Screams, cries, and vehicle alarms mingled together, turning the entire street into chaos in an instant.

Before the citizens could react, dark clouds began to gather wildly from the crack in the sky.

Dark, heavy clouds surged in from all directions, enveloping the entire city of Yunlan in the blink of an eye.

Lightning flashed and thunder roared in the clouds.

Streaks of lightning, like silver snakes, kept striking down.

The sky was as dark as dusk, and a strong wind was howling, making the GG signs on the street rattle loudly.

The whole city felt like it was the end of the world...

Li Chong, the inspector of Yunlan City, possesses the cultivation level of a peak Martial King.

He was standing on the roof of a building at the edge of the city center square, looking up at the crack in the sky and the surrounding thunderclouds, his face as white as paper.

His legs were trembling uncontrollably.

It wasn't that he was cowardly, but rather that the energy fluctuations surging from that crack were simply too terrifying.

That energy was far beyond his comprehension; he was nothing more than an ant in the face of that fluctuation.

However, he was appointed by the Dragon Martial Division as the Inspector of Yunlan City, the city's most powerful martial artist.

Protecting the citizens is his duty.

"Pass on my orders!"

Li Chong gritted his teeth, his voice trembling.

"Immediately evacuate all residents in the surrounding area! Evacuate everyone within a three-kilometer radius!"

"Summon all martial artists of Martial King rank or above from Yunlan City to provide support!"

"Notify Yanzhou Headquarters: A medium-sized celestial fissure has appeared in Yunlan City! The energy leaking from within is terrifying, and there is a suspected risk of it expanding. Requesting emergency support!"

Orders were passed down one after another.

The martial arts system throughout Yunlan City began operating at high speed.

On the streets, uniformed martial artists and ordinary military police are urgently evacuating citizens.

The crowd surged in the opposite direction of the city center like a tide, with cries and shouts mingling together.

Li Chong led his guard team of twelve men, leaping from the rooftop of the building and landing at the edge of the plaza.

Of the twelve people, Li Chong, the most powerful, was at the peak of the Martial King realm. Most of the others were at the early or middle stages of the Martial King realm, while the two weakest were at the peak of the Grandmaster realm.

This level of strength is only what you'd expect in normal times.

They are already considered a force to be reckoned with in Yunlan City.

But at this moment, facing that crack in the sky, twelve people combined wouldn't even be enough to fill its teeth.

Li Chong knew this very well, but he couldn't back down.

None of the guards retreated.

The twelve men, weapons in hand, stared intently at the crack in the sky, ready for a desperate battle.

Every second counts, and every citizen we can evacuate is a blessing.

Just then.

Deputy Inspector Zhou Yan suddenly gripped his long sword tightly, his gaze fixed on the depths of the crack, his voice trembling so much he could barely speak.

"Old Li... something's coming out of there!"

Li Chong's heart leaped into his throat.

He gripped the long sword in his hand, his spiritual power surging wildly, and shouted fiercely at the warrior legion behind him.

"Everyone! Prepare for battle!"

"As soon as that thing shows itself, attack with full force! We cannot let it gain a foothold in the city!"

Dozens of warriors behind him responded in unison, all pointing their weapons at the crack in the sky.

Li Chong stared intently into the depths of the crack, his palms sweating as he gripped the knife.

A blurry shadow is slowly emerging from the crack.

It's getting closer and closer, clearer and clearer.

Li Chong's pupils suddenly contracted.

"They're here!"

He raised his long sword high, about to give the order to attack.

next second.

The figure flew out completely from the crack.

It wasn't a different race, but a person!

A young face, silver-white armor, with a small blackish-purple beast and a miniature dark red beast perched on his shoulder.

That face was recognized by everyone in the entire Great Xia Kingdom.

Chen Yuan!

Honorary Chief of the Dragon Martial Division, Guardian God of the Nation, Supreme Commander of the Human Alliance!

Li Chong's knife froze in mid-air, his mouth agape enough to fit a fist.

The weapons of the dozens of martial artists behind them also froze, and the expressions on everyone's faces were frozen.

From fear to shock, from shock to disbelief, from disbelief to ecstasy.

Chen Yuan looked down at the charred crater in the square blasted by the lightning pillar, then looked at the martial artists around him who were on high alert and the citizens being evacuated in the distance.

His lips twitched slightly.

"Is this a welcoming ceremony prepared for me?"
