High Martial Arts: Starting with a Martial Saint Peak Cultivation

End of the meeting.

With Chen Yuan's confident promise, the heavy atmosphere in the command room was swept away.

The crowd dispersed and returned to their posts, preparing for the upcoming battle.

Chen Yuan and Zhou Qing walked out of the command room side by side.

We followed the passageway of the fortress and climbed to the highest section of the city wall.

Standing atop the hundred-meter-high city wall, one can see the distant landscape, where the dark crack that stretches across the sky is now churning wildly.

The crack edges are expanding slowly but noticeably.

"At most, we have three more hours," Zhou Qing said in a deep voice. "The sealing formation is about to give way."

Chen Yuan stood with his hands behind his back.

He gazed calmly at the crack in the distance.

Zhou Qing hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but speak:

"Chief Chen, I know you are powerful, but... I still have to remind you not to let your guard down."

He paused, then continued:

"The Netherworld Demon Lord is the master of the Netherworld Heavenly Cave. He has lived in that demonic realm for countless years. His power is not just as simple as his realm."

"It possesses a strange, nether power that can erode a martial artist's protective aura and even corrupt spiritual energy! Once you're tainted by that power, it will be extremely troublesome."

"Moreover, it has an extremely strong recovery ability; as long as it is not a fatal injury, it can heal in a very short time."

"After breaking through to the peak of the ninth rank, I estimate these abilities will only become stronger..."

After Zhou Qing finished speaking, he looked at Chen Yuan with obvious worry in his eyes.

Although Chen Yuan is at the peak of Martial Saint, the Netherworld Demon Lord is also at the peak of the ninth rank and possesses strange abilities.

After listening, Chen Yuan turned to look at Zhou Qing, a faint smile appearing on her lips.

"understood."

It's still these few words.

Zhou Qing was taken aback.

Chen Yuan had already turned his gaze away and continued to look at the crack in the distance.

"They have their methods, and I have my trump cards. We'll see in a moment."

Zhou Qing opened his mouth but ultimately said nothing.

Looking at Chen Yuan's calm and composed profile, he suddenly felt a sense of peace.

......

Time passed by, second by second.

The atmosphere on the city wall grew increasingly heavy.

All the warriors gripped their weapons tightly, their eyes fixed on the ever-widening crack in the distance.

Lin Zuyao stood not far away, his eyes firm despite his nervousness. This was his first battle after breaking through to Martial Saint!

Although he can't defeat the Netherworld Demon Lord, he can definitely help deal with ordinary demons.

More than two hours later.

boom!!!

The dark crack that stretched across the sky and earth in the distance suddenly began to tremble violently!

The crack's edges expanded wildly, instantly increasing in width from several hundred meters to nearly a thousand meters!

Black mist erupted from the crack like a volcanic eruption, instantly filling half the sky!

Lightning exploded, and space distorted!

Followed by.

A monstrous surge of demonic energy erupted from the depths of the crack!

The aura was so strong that it caused the entire Demon-Suppressing Fortress to tremble slightly!

Countless martial artists turned pale, their hands trembling as they gripped their weapons.

"They're out..." Zhou Qing said in a deep voice.

The words fell.

A colossal figure slowly emerged from the depths of the crevice!

That was a terrifying monster that was a hundred meters tall!

It was completely black, surrounded by a thick black mist.

It has two horns on its head, a ferocious face, and a pair of blood-red eyes like two blood lamps, radiating a chilling light that makes people's hearts tremble.

Behind it, a dense army of monsters surged out like a tidal wave!

The monsters came in all shapes and sizes: ferocious demonic soldiers, enormous demonic beasts, and eerie demonic spirits...

The levels range from Tier 1 to Tier 8, and the number of them is simply countless!

Among the countless demonic creatures, two exceptionally powerful auras stood out: two early-stage ninth-rank demonic warriors!

One creature resembled a giant wolf, its body engulfed in eerie green flames; the other resembled a giant python, its body coiled with jet-black chains.

It was also a recent breakthrough.

They followed behind the Netherworld Demon Lord, their eyes filled with excitement and bloodlust.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

The Demon Lord of the Underworld laughed loudly, his laughter shaking the heavens!

"Three hundred years! A full three hundred years! I have finally broken through that shackle!"

"Weak natives of this land, are you ready to face my wrath?"

The demon army behind it roared excitedly at the same time, the sound shaking the heavens and the earth!

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Upon hearing this, the arrogance in the eyes of the Netherworld Demon Lord intensified.

Looking down at the distant Demon-Suppressing Fortress, his blood-red eyes were filled with contempt.

"A mere late-stage Martial Saint dares to obstruct me for so many years! Today, I will raze this fortress to the ground and slaughter all the humans here!"

As soon as it finished speaking, its demonic energy surged, and it was about to lead its army to attack the Demon-Suppressing Fortress!

Just then.

A faint voice came from the direction of the Demon-Suppressing Fortress: "Finally out?"

The Netherworld Demon Lord's pupils contracted, and he abruptly turned his head to look!

On the highest section of the Demon Suppression Fortress, a young figure stood with his hands behind his back.

He was a young man who looked to be only in his early twenties.

His robes fluttered in the wind, but his expression remained calm.

But what alarmed the Netherworld Demon Lord was that it couldn't see through the young man's true strength for the time being!

"This is......"

It hadn't reacted yet.

Chen Yuan's lips curled slightly as he stood on the city wall.

"I was almost asleep while waiting."

The words fell.

A thought suddenly occurred to him.

hum! ! !

A silvery-white light instantly surged from his body, enveloping his entire body, and as the light flowed, it transformed into a complete full-body battle armor!

Chen Yuan casually shook hands.

A jet-black spear appeared out of thin air in his hand!

The gun barrel is twelve feet long and adorned with tiny starlight.

Zhou Qing stood aside, completely stunned by Chen Yuan's transformation.

"This is... a Saint-grade top-tier item?!"

As the number one martial saint of the Great Xia Dynasty, he knew all too well what the concept of a saint-level top-grade item meant!

His own Heaven-Slaying Blade was a Saint-level top-grade weapon!

But those are offensive weapons!

He actually possessed a defensive, Saint-grade top-tier battle armor, but he kept it as a trump card to be used in crucial moments.

And the long spear in Chen Yuan's hand... Zhou Qing was shocked once again when he scanned it with his divine sense!

It's also a Saint-level top-grade item!!!

Two Saint-grade top-tier items?!

Before he could recover from the shock, Chen Yuan had already spoken.

"Chen Tianling, hold the line."

Behind them, Chen Tianling and the others responded in unison, "Yes!"

Chen Yuan glanced at Youying on his shoulder again, and Youying instantly understood.

"Understood, boss!"

As soon as it finished speaking, it leaped into the air!

The instant it takes to the air.

boom!!!

Miniature figurines that are only three centimeters in size suddenly expand wildly!

One meter... ten meters... one hundred meters... two hundred meters... three hundred meters!!!

Dark purple star patterns flowed, spiraling horns pointed straight to the sky, and huge dark purple energy wings spread out, blotting out the sun!

The overwhelming pressure of a Martial Saint in the early stages erupted!

"roar!!!"

The shadowy figure looked up to the sky and roared, its howl shaking the heavens!

Excitement and fighting spirit resounded throughout the entire battlefield!

Chen Yuan took a step forward and instantly appeared on the broad back of the shadow, looking down at the Netherworld Demon Lord and the countless demons in the distance.

This moment.

Countless eyes across the battlefield were focused on that figure!

On the walls of the Demon Suppression Fortress, countless warriors were filled with fervor!

"Chief Chen has made his move!"

"With Chief Chen here, we're sure to win!"

Meanwhile, the arrogant and overbearing atmosphere on the monster's side instantly froze.

The smile on the face of the Netherworld Demon Lord froze completely.

It stared intently at the silver-white figure in the distance, and for the first time, fear appeared in its blood-red eyes.

Peak of Martial Saint!

Moreover, it was a Martial Saint at the peak who exerted immense pressure on it! What's even more terrifying is that the giant beast beneath that human was also at the early stage of the ninth rank!

This means that there are at least three ninth-tier combatants in the opposing camp at this moment!

And those two demons at the early stage of the ninth rank.

At this moment, I was completely dumbfounded.

"Demon... Demon Lord, what's going on?" the demon wolf stammered. "Wasn't it said there was only one late-stage Martial Saint? How... how did a peak Martial Saint suddenly appear?!"

"And that behemoth! Early stage of the ninth rank! We didn't sense it at all before!"

The serpent panicked.

"My Lord, the intelligence is incorrect!"

The Netherworld Demon Lord's face was ashen, and his demonic energy surged violently around him.

It has only one thought now.

The intelligence was wrong! We've been tricked!

Now that we've already come out, are we just going to slink back?

That would be so embarrassing!

And will that human martial saint let it go?

Certainly not!

They will definitely pursue and kill it while it retreats, and things will only get worse then!

"I'll fight to the death!" The Netherworld Demon Lord gritted his teeth, a ruthless glint in his eyes. "I am also at the peak of the ninth rank, why should I fear him?!"

Suppressing its unease, it roared at Chen Yuan in the distance, "Human! State your name! I do not kill nameless nobodies!"

Chen Yuan stood on Youying's back and smiled faintly upon hearing this.

"A dying person doesn't need to know."

The Demon Lord of the Underworld roared in fury: "Arrogant!"

Its demonic aura surged, and it was about to attack!

However, Chen Yuan was faster than it!

Chen Yuan simply clenched his right fist and casually swung it forward.

The Sacred Ruins Suppressing World Fist!

boom!!!

A terrifying fist intent was unleashed in an instant!

That fist intent was like a falling meteor, carrying a world-destroying power, heading straight for the Netherworld Demon Lord!

Wherever the fist's intent passed, space shattered and the void twisted!

Extremely fast!

The Netherworld Demon Lord's pupils shrank drastically. He had no time to dodge and could only brace himself and meet the attack head-on!

boom!!!

The intent of the fist exploded violently!

A terrifying shockwave swept in all directions, instantly turning the surrounding monsters into dust!

The Netherworld Demon Lord's massive body, which was hundreds of feet tall, was shattered in half by this punch!

His entire upper body, from the waist up, exploded into a bloody mist!

Only his lower body was still barely hanging in the air!

"ah!!!"

The Netherworld Demon Lord let out a shrill scream, his voice filled with fear and disbelief!

How is that possible?!

How is this possible?!

It's at the peak of the ninth rank!

The opponent is also at the peak of the ninth rank!

Why could one punch shatter half of its body?!

The difference in strength is just too great!

Everyone on the city wall of the Demon Suppression Fortress in the distance was stunned.

Zhou Qing stared blankly for a long time, unable to utter a word.

One punch... and he crippled the Netherworld Demon Lord?

Lin Zuyao trembled all over, his eyes filled with fanaticism!

Is this Chief Chen's true strength?!

That's incredible! Absolutely insane!

The ordinary martial artists were completely excited!

"Master Chen is mighty!!!"

On the battlefield.

The Netherworld Demon Lord frantically burned his life force, and his shattered half of his body visibly reformed.

But the arrogance in its eyes had completely vanished, cleared by Chen Yuan's punch!

The human before it was no match for it!

"Retreat! Retreat now!"

It roared wildly and turned to flee into the crevice!
