High Martial Arts: Starting with a Martial Saint Peak Cultivation

While the Second Elder and Lin Zuyao were engaged in a bloody battle against the Vajra Overlord in Xuzhou, Chen Yuan's clone, far away in Japan, also received the battle report.

Xuzhou was barely held, but the Second Elder and Lin Zuyao suffered serious injuries and were unable to fight again for a short time.

The defenses in other states are also under strain.

Nearly half of the thirteen Martial Saint Elders of the Great Xia Kingdom have been injured in battle.

Meanwhile, new cracks continue to appear in the celestial cave.

If this continues, the defense line will be breached sooner or later.

Upon learning this, Chen Yuan's clone, far away in Japan, gazed in the direction of the Great Xia Kingdom and remained silent for a moment.

Then he made a decision.

Tap the communication ring on your wrist to send a message to Chen Tianling at the Longyuan Mountain mansion.

"Tianling, you take the Holy Dragon Guard and all the Shadow Blades to support the various states of Xia Kingdom. Go wherever the pressure is greatest."

Back at the Longyuan Mountain residence, Chen Tianling asked worriedly, "Boss, we've all left, what about you?"

Chen Yuan's clone waved his hand.

"Don't you know my strength? Go and guard the defenses of each state. Don't let the foreign race gain a foothold in the Great Xia Kingdom."

"........."

immediately.

Upon receiving Chen Yuan's order, Chen Tianling immediately led the Holy Dragon Guards and Youying to the defense lines of various states.

With the addition of this powerful fighting force.

The previously precarious defenses of the various states of the Great Xia Kingdom were suddenly relieved of pressure.

The shadowy creature plunged headlong into a newly formed large rift in Yongzhou, its 600-meter-long body charging wildly.

Those alien armies were like speed bumps in front of it.

Shadowblade and Netherworld Demon respectively provided support to Bingzhou and Yuzhou.

The addition of two powerful warriors at the ninth rank or above greatly boosted the morale of the local martial arts legion.

Chen Tianling led the Holy Dragon Guards to put out fires everywhere, appearing wherever alien leaders of the ninth rank or above appeared.

With eleven Martial Saints joining forces, even a half-step tenth-level alien race would have to think twice.

The situation in the Great Xia Kingdom improved considerably in a short period of time.

however.

All of this was a scheme by the foreign race.

Deep within the ruins of countless worlds lies the territory of the gods.

The deity stood with his hands behind his back on the terrace, his dark golden vertical pupils piercing through layers of void, gazing in the direction of Blue Star.

Behind him, the Seventh Elder, Shen Wuwang, bowed his head respectfully.

"My Lord, just as you predicted, Chen Yuan has transferred all his guards away."

The god's lips curled up slightly.

"Does a mere human dare to challenge my wits?"

It turned around, a cold glint flashing in its dark golden vertical pupils.

"Chen Yuan's main body is currently in seclusion at Longyuan Mountain, attempting to break through to the peak of Martial God. All of his guards have been transferred to the defense lines of various states."

"Longyuan Mountain is now as empty as a ghost town."

"This is the best chance to kill him."

Shen Wuwang hurriedly asked, "My Lord, should I personally take action?"

"No need."

The priest spoke in a flat tone.

"I still need to wear down the will of Earth, so I can't spare the time."

"Issue my order that Elders Shenming, Shengu, and Shenying depart immediately."

"Bring the combined army provided by various races, forcibly open a spatial rift within the territory of Sizhou and head straight for Luodu."

"This time, we must take Chen Yuan's life."

Shen Wuwang bowed, accepted the order, and turned to leave.

The God looked back towards the direction of Blue Star, a hint of expectation flashing in his dark golden vertical pupils.

Chen Yuan...you've been jumping around long enough.

Today is your death day!

Although he wasn't afraid even if Chen Yuan, this native of Blue Star, could break through to the peak of Martial God, eliminating him in advance would be a good option.

......

Sizhou.

About 200 kilometers north of Luodu.

A massive spatial rift is slowly tearing open.

This crack was different from the previous celestial cave cracks; its edges shimmered with an eerie dark golden light.

Inside the crack.

Powerful alien auras are rapidly approaching.

The first to emerge from the crack were three humanoid alien beings.

The leader was over three meters tall, with dark gold skin and a rich golden aura surrounding him.

Late stage of the tenth rank, the eighth elder of the God Clan, Shen Ming.

The figure to its left behind it was slender and covered in grayish-white bone armor.

The surface of the bone armor was covered with fine cracks, as if it could shatter at any moment, yet it exuded a chilling sense of solidity.

Late stage of the tenth rank, the ninth elder of the Divine Race, Divine Bone.

The figure on the right was elusive, like a moving shadow, with only a pair of blood-red vertical pupils flashing in the shadow.

Late stage of the tenth rank, one of the ten elders of the God Clan, Divine Shadow.

Three late-stage tenth-tier divine elders emerged from the crack in a triangular formation.

Following closely behind was a massive, densely packed united army.

The giant insects of the Zerg, the rotting warriors of the Undead, the assassins of the Shadow Clan, and the giant apes of the King Kong Ape Clan.

There are also lava behemoths from the Crimson Abyss Cave, ghost warriors from the Netherworld Cave, lightning elementals from the Thunder Cave, and elites from other races.

Hundreds of thousands of alien troops, a dark, overwhelming mass.

The three elders of the divine race stood at the forefront of the army, their dark golden vertical pupils gazing in the direction of Luodu.

Shenming spoke in a low voice.

"Chen Yuan is in seclusion in that human city."

"The divine decree commands that his life must be taken today."

The divine bone moved its neck, which was covered by bone armor, making a crisp "crackling" sound.

"Is a human at the late stage of Martial God level worth the three of us attacking together?"

The voice of the divine figure emanated from the shadows, elusive and unpredictable.

"Don't underestimate him. Those guys like Chi Tu and Lan Yuan have suffered at his hands, and Hui Gu even died at his hands."

"Although this person's cultivation level is only at the late stage of Martial God, he possesses multiple top-grade divine treasures, making his combat strength far surpass that of others of the same level."

Shenming nodded.

"That's why the God sent the three of us together."

"Alright, that's enough."

"Pass down the order: the army shall march straight to Luodu, and kill any human martial artists encountered along the way without mercy!"

The order was passed down.

Hundreds of thousands of alien troops began to advance towards Luodu.

Sizhou is the location of the headquarters of the Dragon Martial Division and one of the most heavily guarded states in the Great Xia Kingdom.

The alien army had advanced less than fifty kilometers when it encountered fierce resistance from the local garrison.

But this time, it wasn't ordinary alien races that came; it was the elite force drawn from various races by the gods.

Leading the group were three late-stage tenth-tier divine elders.

The garrisoned warrior legions couldn't even buy them time.

Shenming casually struck out with his palm.

A dark golden palm print descended from the sky, smashing a military fortress and its thousands of warriors into a bloody pulp.

The divine bone charged into another fortress, its bone-armored fist smashing through the city wall. Before the warriors inside could react, they were all slaughtered.

The divine shadow became even more eerie.

It transformed into countless shadows, silently infiltrating behind the defensive line and assassinating the commanders who were organizing a counterattack one by one.

Hundreds of thousands of alien troops followed closely behind, leveling everything in their path.

The monitoring station at the headquarters of the Dragon Martial Division detected the movements of this alien army immediately.

When the monitoring equipment displayed the energy fluctuations of three tenth-tier alien races, the martial artist in charge of monitoring turned deathly pale.

"Three...three tenth-tier alien races!"

He reported the intelligence with trembling hands.

The news quickly reached Zhou Qing.

Zhou Qing looked at the battle report in his hand, his pupils suddenly contracting.

Three tenth-tier alien races, along with a combined army of hundreds of thousands, are heading straight for Luodu.

What does Luodu have now?

Chen Yuan's main body is currently in seclusion at Longyuan Mountain, while his clone is far away in Japan.

The Holy Dragon Guards were transferred to various state defense lines, and Shadow, Shadow Blade, and Netherworld were all away from him.

The defenses of Longyuan Mountain are more vulnerable than ever before!

After a moment's thought, Zhou Qing immediately understood that this was a ploy to lure the tiger away from the mountain!

The alien race's target was never the defense lines of the various states, but Chen Yuan himself!

He immediately grabbed the Holy Decree.

Issue orders to all the Dragon Martial Division elders you can contact.

"All elders closest to Sizhou, immediately lead your troops to aid Luodu!"

"We must hold off the alien army at all costs; we absolutely cannot allow them to interfere with Chief Chen's breakthrough!"

The order was issued and the entire Dragon Martial Division sprang into action.

The elders closest to Sizhou immediately led their warrior legions toward Luodu.

However, they are quite a distance from Luodu, and it would be impossible for them to arrive in a short time.

And those warrior legions that were already stationed throughout Sizhou.

After receiving the order.

Knowing they were no match for the enemy, they still charged headlong into the alien army without hesitation.

Legions of warriors launched suicidal attacks against the alien army on plains, in valleys, and along riverbanks.

An army of tens of thousands.

They couldn't even last an incense stick's time against three tenth-level alien beings, but they still charged forward.

No one backed down.

Because they knew that behind them lay Luodu, and the only hope for Blue Star's victory, Master Chen, who was in seclusion!

For every second they held off the alien army, Chief Chen would have one more second to break through.

As long as Chief Chen can break through... their deaths will be worthwhile!

at the same time.

In Luodu, the city's protective formation has been fully activated.

A pale golden light enveloped the entire city.

This grand formation was set up by the Dragon Martial Division at great expense and by several Saint-level formation masters working together. Its defensive power is sufficient to withstand a prolonged attack from multiple ninth-tier alien races.

The warrior legion remaining on the city wall stood ready for battle.

Everyone gripped their weapons tightly, their eyes fixed on the north.

The horizon at the farthest point.

A massive, dark army of alien races is slowly approaching.

Chen Tianling was frantically rushing back with the Holy Dragon Guards. His face was terribly gloomy, and his eyes were full of self-blame and killing intent.

We've fallen for their trap!

The boss sent them to support the defenses of the various states because he trusted them.

As soon as they left, the alien races rushed straight to Luodu.

This is clearly an attempt to kill the boss while he's in seclusion!

"Faster! Faster!"

Chen Tianling roared, his spiritual energy burning wildly throughout his body.

Behind them, Chen Yi to Chen Shi also burned their spiritual power, and the eleven of them transformed into eleven streams of light, rushing towards Luodu.

Shadow, Shadow Blade, and Netherworld Fiend were also frantically rushing back.

The shadowy figure's eyes were also filled with killing intent. Its 600-meter size allowed it to accelerate at full speed, and the power of the void surged wildly around it.

It flew while cursing wildly in its mind.

That damned alien race, daring to scheme against its leader!

When it gets back, it must chew up all this junk!

Shadow Blade and Netherworld Fiend also flew back desperately, but they were farther away than Chen Tianling, and they couldn't catch up in time.

Longyuan Mountain, the ninth level of the cultivation tower.

Chen Yuan sat cross-legged in the center of the Spirit Gathering Array, and the divine power within his body was increasing at a visible rate.

He was just one hair's breadth away from reaching the peak of the Martial God realm.

But this little bit will take time.

Just then.

The view from the clone was transmitted simultaneously.

He "saw" the alien army rushing straight to Luodu, and he also "saw" the figures of three late-stage tenth-tier god elders.

Chen Yuan opened her eyes.

A cold glint flashed in his eyes; these alien races really knew how to pick their timing.

It's neither early nor late.

It just so happened to come at the crucial moment when he was about to make a breakthrough.

He raised his hand and put the lightning-gathering pestle above his head back into his infinite storage space, and then put away the spirit crystals and pills that he hadn't finished absorbing.

Then he stood up.

Feeling the divine power within his body that was only a hair's breadth away from the peak of Martial God, Chen Yuan's eyes were as cold as knives.

"Since you're courting death, don't blame me for being impolite."

He picked up the Holy Decree, edited a message, and sent it to Chen Tianling, Youying, Yingren, Mingsha, and the elders of the Dragon Martial Division.

"No need to come back. Just go about your business. These few petty scoundrels are no threat to me."

The message was sent and the Holy Order was instantly flooded with replies.

Zhou Qing's message popped up first.

"Master Chen! You've emerged from seclusion? Have you broken through to a higher level?"

Chen Yuan replied, "Not yet, but soon."

Zhou Qing was silent for a few seconds, then sent another message.

"Chief Chen, we are too weak to share the burden with you..."

Chen Yuan's lips twitched slightly as he looked at the message.

"Alright, stop getting sentimental."

"Just a few level 10 alien races, it won't take long."

"You must guard the defenses of each state and prevent other alien races from taking advantage of the chaos."

Zhou Qing replied solemnly, "Director Chen, rest assured, the defense lines of each state are entrusted to us."

Chen Yuan put away the Holy Venerable's Decree.

His figure flashed and disappeared into the cultivation tower.

next second.

He appeared above Longyuan Mountain, and his late-stage Martial God divine sense spread out in all directions, instantly covering the entire Luodu City and a radius of nearly 100 kilometers.

The city's protective array has been fully activated, and a pale golden light shield completely covers the entire city.

On the city wall.

The remaining warrior legion stood ready for battle.

On the northern horizon, a massive, dark army of alien races had approached to within a hundred kilometers of Luodu.

Chen Yuan withdrew his gaze and prepared to fly north.

suddenly.

His divine sense detected something amiss.

The core hub of the city's protective formation is located in an underground secret chamber in the center of Luodu City.

That was the control center of the entire formation.

As long as the core hub remains intact, the city's protective formation can continue to operate.

But at the moment.

His divine sense detected that someone was approaching the underground chamber.

It wasn't the warriors sent by the Dragon Martial Division to reinforce the guards, but rather a few furtive figures.

He actually knew the person leading the group.

Liu Cang.

Liu Cang, who was once suspended from his post for investigation by a single sentence and suffered a lot in the General Affairs Department, and whose family was also implicated as a result.

now.

This former Minister of People's Livelihood, who was only at the mid-stage of Martial Venerable, now possesses an aura that has reached the peak of Martial Venerable.

Chen Yuan frowned slightly, his Eye of the Void piercing through layers of buildings and landing on Liu Cang.

Then he saw it.

There was an extremely subtle alien aura within Liu Cang's body, which originated from the same source as the seed he had previously removed from Smith.

The power of alien races.

This guy has defected to a foreign race!

Chen Yuan's eyes turned completely cold.

"OK......"

Luodu.

The core hub of the city's protective formation, the entrance to the underground secret chamber.

Liu Cang, along with a few trusted confidants, quietly made their way to the vicinity of the entrance.

His eyes were filled with madness and hatred.

Ever since he was sent flying by Chen Yuan's single glance at Longyuan Mountain, and then taken away for questioning by that woman Lin Wei, his career has been completely ruined.

He lost his position as Minister of the Ministry of People's Livelihood and was imprisoned in the General Affairs Department, where he suffered a lot.

To protect him, his father, Liu Zhenyue, personally went to Longyuan Mountain to kneel down and beg for forgiveness from Chen Yuan, offering up most of the Liu family's assets.

He was also whipped ten times with the Soul-Suppressing Whip, which further shortened his already limited lifespan.

As a result, the Liu family plummeted from one of the nine great martial arts families in Luodu to an ordinary first-class family.

And all of this is because of Chen Yuan!

He hates!

He hated Chen Yuan for taking everything from him, hated Lin Wei for kicking him when he was down, hated his father for being too cowardly, and hated those who used to fawn over the Liu family for now avoiding them like the plague!

He thinks about how to get revenge every day.

Just then, a mysterious voice echoed in his mind.

The voice told him that it could give him strength and help him take revenge.

The voice rang out again not long ago, asking him to do something.

That is to shut down the protective formation of Luodu.

Liu Cang agreed.

He accepted the power of the alien race, and his cultivation level skyrocketed from the mid-stage of Martial Venerable to the peak of Martial Venerable.

He didn't care about the fate of humanity or the survival of Earth.

He just wanted Chen Yuan dead.

As long as Chen Yuan dies, all the humiliation he suffered will be worth it!

He didn't care what would happen after the alien races conquered Luodu.

Since the Liu family is finished anyway, he has nothing left to miss.

"Sir, the entrance to the core hub is just ahead."

"A trusted aide said in a low voice."

Liu Cang nodded, a ruthless glint flashing in his eyes.

"Let's go inside."

"Close the great formation and welcome the divine army into the city. Today is Chen Yuan's death day!"

He strode toward the entrance.

He had only taken a few steps when a faint voice came from behind him.

"Liu Cang, where are you going?"

Liu Cang's body stiffened abruptly.

He will never forget that voice in his life.

He slowly turned around and saw a figure he hated to the core.

Chen Yuan stood not far away with his hands behind his back, watching him with a half-smile, his eyes like those of someone looking at an ant about to be crushed.
