High Martial Arts: Starting with a Martial Saint Peak Cultivation

He turned around and looked at Chen Tianling lying on the ground, his eyes showing genuine awe for the first time.

It wasn't the fear of the strong that I felt before, but a respect and awe that welled up from the depths of my soul.

He used to think he was gambling.

They were betting that this powerful figure could lead them away from here.

Now he understands.

He wasn't gambling; he'd latched onto a powerful patron!

Even when unconscious, it can instantly kill a fourth-tier lord-level zombie.

If he were to wake up, who in the entire Anzhou would dare to speak loudly in front of him?

No.

Who on the entire planet Yunyuan dares to do that?

At the same time, a sense of lingering fear welled up from the bottom of my heart.

They just forced medicine into this adult's mouth, pricked his wrist with a needle, and pried open his mouth.

Luckily, the needle went astray.

If we actually go in and anger them... no, wait.

The person wasn't awake at all.

If he really wakes up.

He discovered they were poking his wrist with needles, and he could easily wipe them all out with a single turn.

Lin Feng shuddered and forcibly suppressed the thought.

He took a deep breath.

Walk up to the corpse of the lord-level zombie.

The body was still emitting black smoke on the ground, with a hole running through its chest, the edges of which were as smooth as polished jade.

Lin Feng crouched down, drew the dagger from his waist, and dug towards the heart of the lord-level zombie.

The feeling of the knife tip piercing into the rotten flesh was both tough and astringent, like cutting into a piece of hard rubber that had been soaked in water.

He gritted his teeth, turned the blade, and pried open a larger gash between his ribs, from which a thick stream of black blood gushed.

It emitted a nauseating stench.

"How disgusting..."

Lin Feng held his breath and reached into the still-steaming wound.

I explored inside for quite a while.

Then his fingers touched a cold, hard object.

It is about the size of a fingernail and has an irregular polyhedron shape.

Its surface was as smooth as a polished gemstone, and the energy fluctuations it emitted made his fingertips tingle.

He took the crystal core out.

The moment the crystal core left the corpse.

It shone with a dazzling dark red light under the sunlight.

The light was more dazzling than any crystal core Lin Feng had ever seen.

It is much brighter than a third-order crystal nucleus.

It is many times stronger than a second-order crystal core.

"A fourth-tier top-grade crystal core..."

Lin Feng's voice was trembling.

Xiao Zhou's eyes widened instantly.

"A fourth-tier top-grade item?!"

"Brother Feng! I've never seen a fourth-tier crystal core in my entire life!"

The other team members also gathered around.

His gaze was fixed on the still glowing crystal core in Lin Feng's palm, as if he were looking at some rare treasure.

Fourth-order top-grade crystal core.

How much can I get for leaving it at Blackrock Camp?

It can be exchanged for a year's worth of food, a top-tier set of mutated beast hide armor, and a third-tier healing potion, and you can still get a bunch of change back.

They could even exchange it for the best house in the camp.

of course.

In today's world where human life is as worthless as grass, the prerequisite is having the life to bloom.

On the star Yunyuan.

With the outbreak of the apocalypse, the gold of the old era has become worthless, and the currencies of various countries have become worthless, too hard even to wipe one's bottom.

Crystal cores are the real hard currency, and the higher the grade, the more valuable they are!

Fourth-order top-grade crystal core.

Let alone Blackstone Camp, he'd be a hot commodity even in Anzhou's largest settlement!

But Lin Feng made his decision after only glancing at the crystal core a few times.

He turned around, knelt down in front of Chen Tianling, and put the crystal core into Chen Tianling's mouth.

Xiao Zhou opened his mouth as if to say something, but then closed it again.

The female team member didn't say anything, she just watched silently.

No one spoke.

They understand.

Trading a fourth-order crystal core for a life is already a huge win.

Moreover, this crystal core was originally killed by this person, so using it to save this person is perfectly normal.

Moreover... that golden light just now made them completely understand.

The stronger this person is, the safer they will be.

The moment the fourth-order crystal core entered my throat.

The faint golden light on Chen Tianling's body brightened a bit more, this time brighter than the previous two times.

Golden light covered his entire body, and the shattered dark gold armor was bathed in the golden light.

The cracks had healed a bit more.

Although it is still very damaged, it is much better than before when it was on the verge of breaking.

His finger twitched again, this time with a much larger movement than before.

He raised his whole hand slightly.

"It moved! It moved!"

Xiao Zhou was so excited he almost jumped up.

Lin Feng squatted down in front of Chen Tianling and spoke to the team members in a low voice.

"Don't say anything, let the adults calm down on their own."

Chen Tianling's eyelids trembled slightly.

Then it slowly opened.

Those eyes are different from the last time.

Last time, his gaze was so weak it was almost unfocused.

Although he was still very weak this time, a glimmer of clarity had appeared deep in his pupils.

He could now see the faces in front of him clearly.

Chen Tianling used all his strength to slowly sit up from the ground.

The movements are very slow.

Each joint was making a subtle clicking sound.

He looked down at his hands, then at the wounds on his chest that were slowly healing.

Feeling the divine power within his body, which had become extremely weak.

His divine power has been restored by a small amount.

But the situation is not optimistic, like a river that is about to dry up.

Only a few thin puddles remained in the riverbed.

He still possesses the cultivation level of a True God in the early stages, but the actual combat power he can currently unleash is limited.

It's less than one percent of its peak.

He was once a true god-level powerhouse who could withstand the power of laws, but now he has to grit his teeth to even stand up.

An extremely weak divine consciousness was released from his body.

It barely covered the entire planet.

That divine consciousness was only one percent of his peak strength.

But that's enough.

He spent a short time learning the language of the survivors on the planet from their consciousness.

It took a few more moments to scan the planet from top to bottom.

It's different from Earth.

Civilization on this planet has collapsed.

The city was reduced to ruins, and the creatures living within it underwent drastic changes due to some kind of force.

The survivors are hiding in the walled-off base, barely clinging to life.

Outside, there were countless zombies and mutated beasts.

The most powerful creature on this planet.

They were several mutated beasts and zombie kings of level eight.

Eighth rank, equivalent to a Martial Venerable level martial artist on Earth.

Chen Tianling withdrew his divine sense and silently calculated in his mind.

Eighth rank.

If it were during his prime...

He died in one breath.

Nowadays, one breath... is enough.

Although his actual combat strength has now fallen to the level of Martial Saint.

But this is comparable to a fully-fledged Martial Saint on Earth.

The understanding of the laws remains, and the patterns of the laws of metal and space are still there.

Although divine power is weak.

But divine power is itself a higher form of energy than spiritual power.

It's more than enough to deal with the eighth-order beings on this planet.

In other words.

Even though he is seriously injured now, he is safe on this planet.

However, the spiritual energy is not as concentrated as on Earth.

Chen Tianling finally felt relieved, and then he coughed violently.

"Cough cough cough..."

Each cough aggravated the wound in his chest, causing him to furrow his brow in pain.

"grown ups!"

The female team member instinctively took a step forward.

Remembering what Lin Feng had just said, she stopped in her tracks, not daring to approach.

Lin Feng also took half a step forward.

His voice was full of worry: "How are you feeling now, sir?"

Chen Tianling slowly raised his head.

Speaking in a hoarse voice in the newly learned Yun Yuanxing language, "I'm fine... just still very weak."

His gaze slowly swept across the faces of Lin Feng, Xiao Zhou, the female team members, and the other team members.

Then he lowered his head slightly.

Thank you.

His voice was hoarse but solemn.

"If you hadn't dug me out of the rubble... I might still be buried under the debris."

Lin Feng quickly waved his hand.

"Sir, please don't say that!"

"We just happened to be passing by! Just a coincidence!"

Chen Tianling didn't say much; some favors don't need to be mentioned.

He raised his head.

"Have you seen a very unusual ring around here?"

"There are some patterns engraved on it."

"It's made of the same material as the armor I'm wearing."

Lin Feng paused for a moment, then shook his head: "Sir, when I searched that ruin, I didn't see anything but rubble and steel bars, nor did I find the ring you mentioned."

Chen Tianling was silent for a moment.

Then he nodded.

It seems the ring is indeed not around here.

Perhaps it was flung further away by the vortex of shattered space, or perhaps it landed somewhere else...

"grown ups."

Lin Feng cautiously began, "You're so badly injured right now, it's too dangerous for you to be out there alone. Would you like to come back to camp with us?"

"Although Blackrock Camp is not large, it can at least provide shelter from the wind and rain, and it also has medicine and food, so you can rest assured to recover from your injuries."

"I'm sure the leader would also welcome your arrival."

His eyes were full of anticipation as he finished speaking.

The other team members also looked at Chen Tianling, their eyes filled with the same expectation.

Chen Tianling looked at them but did not answer immediately; his primary task now was to recover from his injuries.

Then find the boss.

The soul bond was still intact, and he could vaguely sense that his boss was still alive.

And he's in much better shape than him.

This means that the boss must have escaped from the shattered void vortex as well.

There's no need to worry about the boss's safety for now.
