High Martial Arts: Starting with a Martial Saint Peak Cultivation

Chen Yuan devoted himself to alchemy on the Starry Sea Divine Ship, and the team's strength became increasingly stable.

Countless light-years away.

Chen Tianling continued to speed through the starry sky.

He followed his spiritual senses and traveled for several days without sleep.

The surrounding area was an unfamiliar star field, and there was not even a trace of any living being.

.........

Several days later.

In an unfamiliar star field.

Chen Tianling stepped into the void, traversing the sea of ​​stars at full speed.

Since being influenced by Chen Yuan's breakthrough and advancing to the mid-stage of True God, his speed has increased several times compared to before.

Each flash of movement can traverse hundreds of thousands of miles of star field, and the divine sense can also extend further.

suddenly.

His divine sense detected an unusual fluctuation in the starry sky ahead.

Several warships were fighting around a caravan.

The sparks from the collision of the energy cannon and the protective shield illuminated the starry sky.

A look of joy instantly appeared in Chen Tianling's eyes.

His steps suddenly stopped!

After wandering alone through the starry sky for so long since leaving Yunyuan Star... I've finally encountered a living person!

The other party must know the situation in this star system.

There is a lot of information that he urgently needs to know.

No hesitation.

He flashed and tore through the void to rush over there, intending to ask the other party for directions.

.........

At this moment, in the starry sky.

A convoy consisting of five medium-sized transport ships is being surrounded by more than a dozen modified armed warships.

The transport ship's protective shields were being bombarded and were flashing violently, on the verge of shattering at any moment.

Inside the bridge of the caravan's flagship, Captain Wei Jinghuan was deathly pale.

He stared intently at the identification signals of the dozen or so armed warships on the screen.

"Black Shark Pirates... How unlucky of us to run into these bastards!"

The communications officer's voice was trembling.

"Captain! Communications are jammed! Unable to request assistance from the Federation patrol fleet!"

"The surrounding space is also being affected by some kind of device; transmission signals cannot be sent out!"

Wei Jinghuan's expression turned even uglier.

The other party was clearly an expert, extremely meticulous, and had blocked all their channels for distress before making a move!

"Connect them to their communication channels!"

He said through gritted teeth.

The communications officer quickly took action.

A fierce face with a face full of scars appeared on the screen.

That was the leader of the Black Shark Pirates, nicknamed "Black Shark," a one-eyed, bald, burly man.

His cultivation level was equivalent to the peak of Martial Saint, and he was notorious in this star field.

"Black Shark! We...we are an official caravan protected by the Star Luo Federation!"

Wei Jinghuan suppressed his fear and said sternly.

"Your actions have violated federal law! Federal patrol fleets are patrolling the nearby star system!"

"It's not too late for you to stop now!"

He hoped that these words would scare away the vicious space pirates, and he also secretly hoped that the nearby patrolling Federation fleet would notice the abnormality and come to the rescue.

Otherwise, today might be more bad than good...

After hearing this, Black Shark gave a cold smile.

"An official caravan? Do you really think I, Black Shark, am new to this business?"

"You are a private caravan of the Starsea Merchant Alliance, not a federal official caravan at all."

"You think you can intimidate me by hanging a federal flag?"

Wei Jinghuan's heart sank to the bottom. The other side had already figured out their background!

"As for the federal patrol fleet..."

Inside the pirate flagship.

The leader, Black Shark, had a fierce expression and cold, bloodthirsty eyes, letting out a cold laugh.

"We have already deployed spatial jamming devices around the area, so your distress signals cannot get through at all."

"It will take at least half a day for the Federation fleet to discover the anomaly and arrive."

"By then, we had already finished moving the goods and left."

"and......"

A fierce glint flashed in his eyes.

"If we kill you, no one will know it was us."

Wei Jinghuan's face turned completely pale, and he tried to continue threatening the other party.

"You have openly committed robbery and murder, violating the laws of the Star Luo Federation. You will certainly be surrounded and wiped out by the Federation fleet!"

Black Shark simply ignored Wei Jinghuan, who was already dead, and ended the conversation on its own initiative.

Wei Jinghuan was tense as his last hope was dashed.

The other side has even used spatial interference devices; they are determined to kill and rob without leaving any survivors.

As long as they all die here, even if the Federation fleet notices something amiss and comes looking for them afterward, it doesn't matter.

As long as the other party does it cleanly enough and leaves no clues.

The Federation fleet couldn't find any trace of them either!

"It's over..."

Wei Jinghuan slumped into the captain's chair.

Just then.

A figure suddenly stepped out of the void and appeared in the center of the battlefield without warning.

It was a young man wearing dark gold armor.

He stood with his hands behind his back, his feet seemingly touching the void.

The dark gold armor shimmered brilliantly under the starlight.

Chen Tianling's gaze swept over the two sides engaged in battle, and his brows furrowed slightly.

These people's cultivation level is too low.

At most, it's only equivalent to the Martial Saint level on Earth.

He poses no threat whatsoever.

next second.

"boom!!!"

The powerful pressure of a mid-stage True God swept across the entire starry sky.

The two sides engaged in fierce combat instantly ceased all attacks.

All artillery fire and offensives came to an abrupt halt.

All eyes turned to Chen Tianling.

The crew and space pirates inside the warship were all trembling and their legs were weak.

Faced with this overwhelming sense of terror, even breathing became difficult for them.

Like an ant facing the heavens... without even the courage to look up and look directly at them!

The entire starry sky seemed to be held down by an invisible giant hand.

The dozen or so armed warships shook violently at the same time.

"Beep beep beep! Warning! High energy reaction detected..."

Alarms blared frantically inside the bridge.

All the space pirates felt as if a mountain was pressing down on their chests.

Breathing became difficult, and he couldn't even move his fingers.

While the caravan also felt the terrifying pressure, their warships did not experience the violent shaking that the space pirates did.

Inside the bridge of the caravan's main ship.

Wei Jinghuan suddenly jumped up from the captain's chair.

His eyes were fixed on the figure that had appeared out of nowhere on the screen.

"Who...is this person?!"

He felt like his heart was about to jump out of his throat.

The Black Shark Pirates.

Chaos reigned on the bridge of the main ship.

In the face of such a favorable situation, someone dared to barge in and disrupt things, and what's more, it was a top expert with unfathomable cultivation!

"Leader! An unknown powerful figure has appeared!"

"This aura... far surpasses the ninth rank! It's at least the tenth rank! No, it's even more terrifying than the tenth rank!"

Black Shark's expression also changed.

He stared intently at the figure on the screen.

The other party just stood there quietly in the void, without even revealing their weapon.

But the mere aura emanating from him was enough to make this peak ninth-tier expert not even dare to breathe.

"Who the hell is this... such a powerful figure..."

Black Shark gritted his teeth, his mind racing.

He had been a space pirate in the Star Luo Federation for so many years, and he had never seen a powerhouse of this level.

How could such a creature appear in such a godforsaken place?

The caravan members were also filled with tension and looked uneasy.

The person before them possessed an overwhelming aura and was definitely not from the Star Luo Federation. At least, they had never seen or heard of this powerful figure within the Star Luo Federation!

I don't know if they are friend or foe.

This makes the already dire situation even more unpredictable.

.........

Just as both sides were stunned by this sudden aura.

Chen Tianling stood in mid-air.

The sound was calm, yet it resonated throughout every warship.

"Where is this place? Do any of you have star maps on you?"

He was speaking the language of Earth.

Furthermore, his tone was indifferent; he was merely asking for directions and had no interest in knowing about the grudges between the two parties.

They just want to get what they want.

On the caravan side.

Wei Jinghuan stared blankly at the screen.

"Um... what... what is he saying? Can anyone understand him?"

The communications officer shook his head.

"Captain, I don't understand. This is not the common language of the Federation, nor is it the language of any known civilization in the star system."

The same applies to the space pirates.

Black Shark frowned.

"What kind of gibberish is this guy speaking? Who can understand him?"

All the space pirates on the bridge shook their heads.

Both sides in the battle looked completely bewildered, unable to understand his words at all.

The two sides stared at each other, neither daring to utter a sound, and the scene remained deadlocked for a moment.

The entire room fell silent.

Only the faint sound of the warship's engines remained.

In the midst of chaos.

On the bridge of the pirate flagship, a minor leader was so tense that he lost his composure.

My finger accidentally touched the button on the weapon firing system.

The weapon system had already automatically locked onto Chen Tianling.

"call out!"

A beam of energy shot out from the cannon of the pirate flagship, heading straight for Chen Tianling.

Everyone's eyes widened at the same time.

Black Shark's entire face was contorted.

He suddenly turned his head and punched the petty leader on the head.

It knocked him off his seat.

"Damn it! Who gave you permission to fire?!"

The gang leader slammed his head against the wall, his head lolling to the side.

Blood was still oozing from his mouth.

The sound was intermittent.

"Chief...Chief...I didn't mean to...I was just too nervous..."

Black Shark's facial expression was absolutely priceless.

There was fear, anger, and a hint of despair.

He wanted to kill that blind fool, but right now the most important thing was that mysterious expert!

He turned around abruptly and stared intently at the screen.

I pray that the energy beam doesn't harm the other party.

No, a more realistic prayer is... that the other party doesn't get enraged by this attack.

however.

After the light from the energy beam faded.

The figure clad in dark gold armor reappeared.

Unharmed.

There wasn't even a scratch on the armor.

Chen Tianling turned his head and his gaze fell on the pirate flagship.

That gaze was as cold as ice that had stood for millennia.

He hadn't originally planned to act immediately; he just wanted to ask for directions.

But how dare they open fire on him?!

Although that attack didn't even qualify to tickle him.

But to attack him first is already a capital offense.

"You dare to lay a hand on me? You're asking for death."

When Black Shark saw that cold gaze, his heart almost jumped out of his throat.

And although he couldn't understand what Chen Tianling was saying.

But it's obvious that the other person is angry!

He quickly turned on his external communication, his voice trembling.

"Senior! Senior, spare us! It's a misunderstanding! It was an accident by our subordinates..."

He hadn't finished speaking.

Chen Tianling waved his hand casually.

The power of the Law of Ice spread out silently.

A visible, icy-blue shockwave emanated from him and spread out toward the pirate fleet.

Everything was frozen in the wake of the shockwave.

The protective shields of those dozen or so armed warships shattered into ice shards the moment they came into contact with the shockwave.

The warship's hull froze solid, and the space pirates inside were frozen solid before they could even escape.

The henchman who was sent flying by Black Shark's punch was still in the position of tilting his head and spitting blood.

The fear on his face was frozen in time.

Black Shark was the last one to be frozen.

He remained in the position of pleading with his mouth open, his entire body, along with the chair, turned into an ice sculpture.

The spatial interference device was also shattered, and the broken parts drifted away in the starry sky.

Not a single one escaped.

The entire ferocious pirate fleet was transformed into ice sculptures floating in the starry sky within moments.

On the caravan side.

Everyone who saw this was stunned.

Wei Jinghuan's mouth was agape, unable to utter a single word, and cold sweat poured down his forehead like rain.

A dozen armed warships, hundreds of space pirates, and the Black Shark leader at the peak of the ninth rank... were all wiped out by the opponent with a casual wave of his hand?

I didn't even see how he died!

What level of powerhouse is this?!

Chen Tianling withdrew his hand and flashed away.

They appeared directly inside the bridge of the pirate flagship.

He landed in front of the black shark's ice sculpture and casually took the spatial ring from its finger.

He probed into it with his divine sense and quickly found a star map.

The star map was only the size of a palm, and the information it recorded was very brief.

Chen Tianling unfolded the star chart.

"The Vast Expanse of the Azure Sea..."

He whispered the names marked on the star map.

This star field is called the Cangming Star Field, and it covers a vast area, encompassing several star systems.

The star map marked some inhabited planets and territories of influence, but the details were very brief.

The area where Black Shark is located is just a remote corner of the Cangming Starfield.

Chen Tianling searched the other space pirates and found that the star maps were largely the same.

These are all simplified versions, only marking a few nearby routes.

"We have a star map, but it's not detailed."

Chen Tianling was somewhat disappointed.

This simplified star chart is sufficient for most people, but it is far from enough for him.

What he needed was a high-precision star map that showed detailed star system structure and power distribution.

Ideally, it should be like the one he got from Chu Cangqiong.

Chen Tianling turned his head and his gaze fell on the fleet that was clearly a merchant caravan.

The other party is a legitimate merchant caravan, and their star maps should be much more detailed than those of space pirates.

Inside the bridge of the caravan's main ship.

Zhao Donglai saw the mysterious expert looking in their direction.

My whole body trembled.

next second.

Chen Tianling appeared directly on the bridge, silently, as if he had appeared out of thin air.

Wei Jinghuan was so frightened that he jumped up from the captain's chair.

"Sir...sir..."

His voice trembled violently, and his legs were shaking.

Chen Tianling took out the star map he had looted from the space pirates and unfolded it to show them to the other party.

Do you have a more detailed star map than this?

Wei Jinghuan looked at the star map in Chen Tianling's hand, and then at Chen Tianling's mouth.

His face showed both fear and confusion.

He said, his voice trembling.

"M-Sir...we...we don't understand what you're saying..."
