High Martial Arts: Starting with a Martial Saint Peak Cultivation

Chen Tianling sheathed his spear and glanced at the ravaged battlefield.

Beneath their feet lay endless wreckage of warships, and the lingering auras of three mid-stage True God powerhouses.

He knew that the Star Luo Federation would definitely not let this go.

A power that controls multiple star systems in the vicinity had three True Gods killed in its own territory, and hundreds of warships were also lost.

They couldn't possibly swallow this insult.

We need to get out of here quickly.

Chen Tianling activated his concealment technique, and with a flash, he tore through the void and left.

.........

The Supreme Command of the Star Luo Federation.

The holographic conference room was deathly silent.

Situ Zhen sat at the head of the table, his face as gloomy as the sky before a storm.

On both sides of the conference table, virtual projections of more than thirty high-ranking federal officials were all online.

But no one spoke.

"Still can't get in touch with Han Tiefeng and the others?"

Situ Zhen's voice was low and cold.

The Minister of Communications broke out in a cold sweat.

"Reporting to the Commander-in-Chief, Minister Han, Deputy Commander Ye, and Blood Blade Warrior, all three of their communication devices have been lost."

"The patrol fleet near the A49 system has also lost contact; more than three hundred warships seem to have vanished into thin air."

"We have dispatched the nearest reconnaissance fleet to investigate, and we expect to receive news in half an hour."

Federal Intelligence Minister Lo Chiu-hong frowned.

"The simultaneous loss of contact between three mid-stage True Gods and the loss of contact with over three hundred warships is no coincidence."

Defense Minister Bae Jin-gwook clenched his fist.

"Just who is this outsider? Even three mid-stage True Gods couldn't defeat him?"

Situ Zhen did not answer, but stared intently at the area marked in red on the holographic star map.

In that area, the three points of light representing mid-stage True God powerhouses had already gone out.

Half an hour later.

The reconnaissance fleet sent back a message.

The communications officer's face turned deathly pale the moment he received the message.

"Report! The reconnaissance fleet has arrived at the outer edge of the A49 system..."

His voice was trembling.

"Confirmed: Minister Han Tiefeng, Deputy Commander Ye Canglan, and Bloodblade Warrior—all three True Gods have perished in battle!"

"Over three hundred Federation warships were completely annihilated, with not a single survivor!"

"The battlefield is littered with the wreckage of warships and the corpses of three true gods..."

The communications officer swallowed hard.

"It has been reduced to a bloody mist, leaving only residual energy fluctuations."

There was dead silence in the conference room.

Then it was like a pot of boiling water exploded.

"completely annihilated?!"

Luo Qiuhong suddenly stood up, her composure completely vanishing.

"Three mid-stage True Gods! Three hundred warships! All dead?!"

"Just what level of cultivation does that extraterrestrial invader possess? Is it a late-stage True God? Or even a peak True God?!"

"Regardless of his cultivation level!" Pei Zhenyue slammed his fist on the conference table, shaking the entire surface. "Slaughtering Federation soldiers in the heart of the Federation is a blatant declaration of war against our Star Luo Federation!"

"He must be brought back and put on a public trial as a warning to others!"

Other senior executives also roared in anger.

"Yes! If we don't avenge this, where will the Star Luo Federation put its face?"

"No matter which faction sent this person, he must pay the price!"

"They killed three of us true gods; they must pay with their blood!"

"This is blatant invasion! A provocation against the entire Federation!"

Situ Zhen raised his hand to silence the crowd.

His face had turned extremely gloomy.

"You are all right, this grudge must be avenged."

"But the most important thing now is to block the news and prevent the public from knowing that the three true gods have died in battle."

"Otherwise, it will cause nationwide panic."

He turned to look at Pei Zhenyue.

"Minister Pei, immediately mobilize the army to seal off all star systems surrounding the A49 star system."

"Activate the highest level of intergalactic martial law; all civilian air routes are shut down."

"Every wormhole and every shipping route must be thoroughly investigated."

"We must not let this murderer escape our federal territory!"

Pei Zhenyue clasped his hands in a fist salute and replied, "Your subordinate will take care of it immediately!"

Situ Zhen then looked at Luo Qiuhong.

"Minister Luo, mobilize all intelligence resources to cooperate with the military in searching for the target."

"Distribute the target's imagery and energy signature to every reconnaissance fleet."

"Once the target is spotted, do not act rashly; report it immediately."

Luo Qiuhong nodded: "Understood."

Situ Zhen stood up, his eyes burning with a cold killing intent.

"As for the pursuit... this time fifteen true gods have been dispatched."

"With the leadership of the two seniors, Lu Tianzong and Qin Ruohan, both late-stage True God experts, we must bring this person to justice!"

A collective gasp filled the conference room.

The fifteen True Gods, led by two late-stage True Gods, represent almost half of the Star Luo Federation's True God-level combat power.

The last time a force of this size was deployed was thousands of years ago when a full-scale war broke out with the Dark Empire.

"With seniors Lu Tianzong and Qin Ruohan personally taking action, that kid has no chance of escape!"

"Fifteen True Gods—even a peak True God could be put to the test!"

Situ Zhen said coldly, "Once the specific action plan is finalized, act immediately. There is no time to lose. Dismissed!"

.........

With the order issued by the Federal Supreme Command, the entire Star Luo Federation entered a state of martial law.

Galaxy A49, Galaxy A50, Galaxy A51, and dozens of surrounding galaxies were all blocked.

All civilian air routes were shut down, and the wormhole tunnels were taken over by the military.

More than two thousand Federation warships patrolled between star systems.

Every commercial spacecraft undergoes rigorous inspection.

The citizens of the Star Luo Federation were unaware of what was happening, only informed that the Federation was conducting a large-scale military exercise.

Meanwhile, in secret, the fifteen True God powerhouses had already divided into five search teams.

A comprehensive search was launched in all directions, centered on the A49 galaxy.

.........

Time passed day by day.

Chen Tianling traversed the starry sky at full speed.

Although his concealment techniques are not as good as Chen Yuan's "All Things Return to Nothingness", they are still quite good at the mid-stage of True God.

The Federation warships tasked with the search flew past him several times without finding any trace of him.

But that's it.

The Star Luo Federation's search network is becoming increasingly dense, leaving him with less and less room to maneuver.

Several times he had to take detours to avoid the key search areas.

This slows down the speed considerably.

"We'll be out of the Star Luo Federation's sphere of influence in a little while."

Chen Tianling compared the star map in his mind.

Not far ahead of him was the border of the Star Luo Federation.

Once you cross that boundary, you'll find a no-man's-land buffer zone.

Once they arrived there, the Star Luo Federation fleet dared not conduct such a large-scale search.

He sped up and flew toward the border.

The boundary line is getting closer and closer.

Getting closer.

however.

Just as he was about to cross the border.

Four auras at the True God level suddenly appeared in the void ahead.

One True God in the late stage, and three True Gods in the middle stage.

They blocked his path in a fan shape.

Leading the group was an elderly man dressed in a blue robe, with a stern face and surrounded by the light of the Earth and Thunder Laws.

Lu Tianzong, a late-stage True God.

Behind him stood three mid-stage True Gods, one of whom was a burly cyborg warrior.

Its left eye is an electronic eye, and its right arm is a robotic arm made of liquid metal.

He has the Federation's most advanced combat support system implanted in his body and is the ace of the Star Luo Federation's cyborg force.

Lu Tianzong looked at Chen Tianling, a cold smile curling at the corner of his mouth.

"Intruder, we've finally found you."

The cyborg warrior behind him moved his mechanical arm, making a cracking sound.

"You're really good at hiding! We had a hard time finding you."

"If Senior Qin Ruohan hadn't predicted that you might escape through this border, you might have really gotten away."

Lu Tianzong had secretly sent Chen Tianling's location to other search teams.

Before long, even more powerful True Gods will arrive.

By then, Chen Tianling will have no chance of escaping!

Chen Tianling looked at the four people in front of him, his face expressionless.

One late-stage True God, and three mid-stage True Gods.

Do you think you can stop him with so few people?

However, his gaze lingered on the cyborg warrior for a moment longer.

The other party only had an original brain; the rest of their body parts had been replaced by machines.

This type of modification is quite rare.

This is considered a characteristic of this civilization.
