High Martial Arts: Starting with a Martial Saint Peak Cultivation

Chen Yuan carefully put away the Dark Abyss Star Core, then remembered something else.

He raised his hand and waved.

Countless rays of light flew out from the infinite storage space.

Pills, star-shattering beads, and life-saving treasures floated densely in front of Chen Tianling.

The pills alone piled up into a small mountain.

There are ninth-grade top-quality pills, tenth-grade top-quality pills, true treasure-level pills, and even a few secret treasure-level pills.

There are dozens of life-saving treasures, of all types.

Chen Tianling stared at the pile of treasures in front of him, stunned for several seconds.

"Boss, this...this much?"

His voice sounded a little weak.

The quantity of pills was frighteningly large, and the quality of the life-saving treasures was ridiculously high.

The fragrance emanating from those few treasure-level pills alone made every pore on his body relax.

Shadowy wagged its tail beside him, its little eyes full of pride.

"Tianling, you should accept these! Boss refined these himself!"

"Didn't I just tell you? Boss robbed all ten major sects in the Southern Region of that Jade Purity Continent, and even killed four Earth Immortals!"

"The resources we seized were piled up like mountains, and the boss refined them all into elixirs and priceless treasures!"

Chen Tianling was taken aback again upon hearing this.

They robbed all ten major sects of the Southern Region? And killed four Earth Immortals?

He looked at Chen Yuan, opened his mouth as if to say something.

Chen Yuan waved his hand.

"Keep it, don't be stingy with it."

Chen Tianling took a deep breath and nodded emphatically.

"Thanks, boss!"

Without any hesitation, he put all the pills and treasures in front of him into his storage ring.

But a storm raged within me.

The ten major sects of the Jade Purity Continent, plus four Earth Immortals... Boss, you've turned the entire Southern Region upside down!

They killed so many powerful figures and plundered so many resources.

This feud is no ordinary one.

No wonder the eldest brother was able to refine so many pills and treasures.

Chen Tianling clicked his tongue inwardly in amazement.

But then he thought about it again and realized that this was the boss's style.

If you're unhappy, then fight it; if you fight it, fight it to the end.

No matter if you're from one of the top ten sects or a celestial immortal, if you mess with the boss, you'll be robbed of everything.

Seeing that Chen Tianling had packed everything up, Chen Yuan stood up.

"You guys chat first, I'm going into seclusion."

He looked at Chen Tianling and Youying.

"I want to absorb that Dark Abyss Star Core as soon as possible."

Chen Tianling nodded quickly.

"Boss, you can go into seclusion without worry. We'll be guarding outside."

Chen Yi also clasped his hands in a fist salute and said so.

"Your subordinate will keep a close watch on the surroundings and will not allow anyone to disturb the boss."

The shadowy creature swung its tail and approached.

"Boss, focus on your breakthrough! If anyone dares to get close, I'll blast them with the Star Shattering Bead!"

Chen Yuan smiled and patted Youying on the head.

Then he turned and walked towards the secluded meditation chamber.

As Chen Tianling watched Chen Yuan's retreating figure, the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up in a smile.

The fact that the boss is in such a hurry to absorb the Dark Abyss Star Core means that the stone is really useful to him.

He was happier than anyone else that the gift he brought could help his boss.

.........

The Starry Sea Divine Ship, in a secluded chamber.

Chen Yuan sat down cross-legged, a thought forming in his mind.

The fist-sized Dark Abyss Star Core appeared out of thin air in my palm.

It is entirely black with a smooth, mirror-like surface.

Countless dark golden lines flowed slowly inside the stone, like miniature galaxies rotating.

A powerful, eternal divine force emanated from it.

The divine power was also mixed with a strong fluctuation of the laws of darkness.

Profound, cold, and pure.

The aura emanating from him alone was enough to stir the eternal divine power within Chen Yuan's body.

"Such pure energy."

A look of ecstasy appeared on Chen Yuan's face.

This Dark Abyss Star Core truly lives up to its reputation as a top-grade eternal treasure; the energy it contains is purer than any other rare and precious material he has ever absorbed before.

Of course, exceptions are made by the system.

What's even more remarkable is the fluctuation of the Dark Law.

He has now comprehended the ultimate laws of the six elements: space, metal, wood, fire, ice, and earth.

There are still four elements missing: time, lightning, light, and darkness, before breaking through to the Supreme Realm.

This Dark Abyss Star Core... can perfectly help him fill the gap in his Dark Laws.

"If nothing unexpected happens, my cultivation level should improve significantly after absorbing it."

Chen Yuan took a deep breath and closed his eyes.

Holding the Dark Abyss Star Core in both hands, he activated the eternal divine power within his body.

The divine power transformed into two golden threads, extending from the palm of his hand.

The moment the thread touched the core of the Dark Abyss Star, the dark gold patterns inside the stone suddenly lit up.

A surge of powerful energy flowed into Chen Yuan's body along the silk threads.

The energy was as black as ink, yet so pure that it contained not a single impurity.

As soon as it enters the body, it surges through the meridians like molten lava.

Chen Yuan grunted, his brows furrowing slightly.

This energy is far more powerful than imagined.

However, his physical body had undergone multiple tribulations of lightning, so he could withstand this pain.

He steadied his mind, accelerated the circulation of his divine power, and refined the dark energy bit by bit.

The energy was refined and then split into two streams.

A vortex of power, merging into his physical body and divine strength, slowly but steadily enhanced his cultivation.

Another surged into his sea of ​​consciousness, transforming into countless fragments of the laws of darkness.

Those fragments danced, collided, and merged in my consciousness.

Each collision deepened Chen Yuan's understanding of the laws of darkness.

He quickly became engrossed in it.

.........

Inside the main control cabin.

Chen Tianling was surrounded by Youying and Chen Yi.

The shadowy creature flicked its tail, its small eyes filled with curiosity.

"Tianling, Tianling, tell me again in detail, where did that shattering vortex take you?"

Chen Er also came over.

"We've been swept into the Cangxuan Realm, what about you?"

Chen Tianling leaned back in his chair, a hint of emotion on his face.

"I was swept away to a place called Yunyuan Star."

"That planet should have been quite prosperous, but it was affected by the energy radiation from the Dark Abyss Star Core and turned into a post-apocalyptic wasteland."

"All the creatures up there have mutated; monsters are everywhere."

The shadowy figure's small eyes lit up as it listened.

"So, did you fight your way through?"

Chen Tianling smiled and shook his head.

"I guess so, but those mutated monsters weren't very strong. The real trouble came later."

He started his story with Yun Yuanxing.

How do I find the Dark Abyss Star Core in the post-apocalyptic wasteland, and how do I leave that planet and enter the territory of the Star Luo Federation?

How did I get mistaken for a spy because of the language barrier? How did I get intercepted by three true gods in the middle stage?

How did he manage to defeat three opponents single-handedly and annihilate them, and how did he attract the relentless pursuit of the Star Luo Federation?

When it was mentioned that Lu Tianzong led three true gods to intercept him at the border.

The shadowy creature was so anxious that it stopped wagging its tail.

"Four against one? And there's a late-stage True God among them? That's shameless!"

Chen Tianling smiled and waved his hand.

"It's alright. They were dumbfounded as soon as the five ultimate law domains were deployed."

He continued speaking.

It tells how he killed a mid-stage True God with one shot and how he severely injured Lu Tianzong with three shots.

How could one punch kill two people, and the final shot pierce Lu Tianzong's heart?

The shadowy creature clapped its paws repeatedly upon hearing this.

"Well done! That's how you should play!"

Chen Yi nodded, his eyes full of admiration.

"Brother Tianling, you were able to defeat a late-stage True God at the mid-stage of True God. There are probably few people of the same level who can match your combat power."

Chen Tianling shook his head.

"I'm far inferior to the boss. The boss killed four Eternal True Gods with his peak True God cultivation."

"That mid-stage Earth Immortal named Chu Cangqiong was slowly worn down to death by the boss using the God-Slaying Sword Formation."

Chen Er took over the conversation.

"Our side is pretty exciting too."

He then began to tell his story.

Let's begin with the fall into the Cangxuan Realm.

How did he disguise himself as an immortal from the upper realm, and how did he manage to frighten the Black Wind Demon King into kneeling down with just a few words?

How to sow ten immortal opportunities in the Cangxuan Realm, and how to activate the guiding array to ascend to the Yuqing Continent.

When the story goes that Ancestor Duan Kong discovered they were extraterrestrial demons and summoned thirteen experts at the pinnacle of their cultivation to besiege them.

Chen Tianling frowned.

"Thirteen against one?"

Chen Er smiled.

"Yes, thirteen peak realm cultivators and four illusory Earth Immortals."

"The eldest brother fought against thirteen opponents single-handedly, unleashing all four of his divine swords, the Dawnbreaker Spear, the Thunder-Gathering Pestle, and the Star-Shattering Bow."

"One punch instantly kills the early stage of the Ultimate Realm, and the sword formation wipes out the rest."

"In the end, the fifty-four clones faced off against the four Earth Immortals, and the God-Slaying Sword Formation completely eroded their eternal divine power."

After listening, Chen Tianling remained silent for a long while.

Then he shook his head and laughed.

"I knew it, things were definitely more lively on the boss's side than on mine."

"I killed seven True Gods, and the boss killed thirteen Perfect Realm experts plus four Earth Immortals."

The shadowy creature wagged its tail smugly beside it.

"Of course! Our boss is going to become the strongest man in the entire universe!"

Chen Tianling nodded with a smile.

I believe you.

As everyone spoke, Chen Yi's divine sense remained extended outside the Star Sea Divine Ship.

Be constantly alert to any movement around you.

However, the Starry Sea Divine Ship's concealment is greatly enhanced after it is upgraded to a top-grade secret treasure.

Even if creatures occasionally pass by from a distance, they are completely unaware of their existence.

Everything around was calm.

.........

Time passed little by little.

In a secluded, enclosed room.

Chen Yuan sat cross-legged, holding the Dark Abyss Star Core in his hands.

That fist-sized stone has now shrunk by more than half.

The dark gold patterns inside had also become much dimmer.

However, Chen Yuan's aura continued to rise.

The eternal divine power within him had reached a critical point.

We're just one step away from breaking through that threshold.

Fragments of the Law of Darkness are also gathering more and more in my consciousness.

From the most basic Shadow Path to deeper levels of devouring, eroding, and dissolving.

All the mysteries of the laws of darkness slowly unfolded in his consciousness.

Just then.

A familiar mechanical voice suddenly echoed in my mind.

[Ding! The monthly check-in count has been refreshed. Would you like to check in now?]

Chen Yuan diverted a portion of his mind to this.

It's time to sign in again.

He responded in his mind.

"Check-in".

[Ding! Check-in successful!]

[Congratulations, host, on receiving the following rewards: Supreme Eternal Treasure Star-Slaying Blade, Supreme Eternal Treasure Sky-Splitting Axe, Supreme Eternal Treasure Boundary-Breaking Halberd.]

"Star-Slaying Blade: A supreme eternal treasure, its blade forged from meteorite iron and imbued with the power of a star's core. A single strike can shatter a star."

"Sky-Splitting Axe: A supreme eternal treasure. The axe blade is forged from void crystals and contains the power to tear space apart. A single swing can cleave through the void."

"Boundary-Breaking Halberd: A supreme-grade eternal treasure, its shaft forged from chaotic black iron, imbued with the power to shatter boundaries. A single thrust can shatter the barriers of countless worlds."

["Does the host wish to claim it immediately?"]

Chen Yuan read through the three rewards from beginning to end.

All three weapons are top-grade eternal treasures, with the same rank as his Four God-Slaying Swords and Dawnbreaker Spear.

If you put it out there, any one of these would be fought over by countless powerful individuals.

"Star-Slaying Blade, Sky-Splitting Axe, Boundary-Breaking Halberd—these names sound pretty imposing."

Chen Yuan nodded to himself.

It's a pity he used a gun.

Although these three weapons were of extremely high quality, none of them were suitable for him.

However, it's good to keep it as a legacy.

Who knows when we'll need it.

Even if you don't need it yourself, you can give it to Chen Tianling or the Holy Dragon Guards.

"receive."

Chen Yuan responded in his mind.

The words fell.

Three blinding beams of light shone from the infinite storage space.

A sword, an axe, and a halberd—three weapons of different shapes appeared out of thin air.

Each one exudes an extremely terrifying aura.

The blade shimmered with starlight, the space around the axe blade was slightly distorted, and the tip of the halberd was faintly surrounded by chaotic energy.

Three top-grade eternal treasures floated quietly in the storage space.

Chen Yuan withdrew his divine sense and refocused his attention on absorbing the Dark Abyss Star Core.

"The system is giving me better and better stuff, but right now, breaking through is the priority."

He accelerated his absorption rate.

The Dark Abyss Star Core in his palm shrank another circle.

The dark gold patterns inside have faded to almost invisible.

But the energy surging into the body was even more overwhelming.

Like a great black river, it surged ceaselessly into his meridians.

Chen Yuan gritted his teeth and stubbornly remained silent.

He was an invincible boss in front of his subordinates, and they had to endure the pain.

This is a matter of prestige.

.........

Several days later.

Chen Yuan's aura finally reached its peak.

Like a volcano about to erupt, suppressed to the extreme.

then.

boom!

An extremely powerful aura erupted from his body.

The aura was so tangible that it surged outwards in all directions.

The walls of the secluded chamber were shaking violently.

The aura was about to burst out of the Star Sea Divine Ship and spread into the surrounding starry sky.

Chen Yuan suddenly opened his eyes and reached out to press down.

He controlled that violent aura with precision.

Everything was compressed inside the Starship, with not a single trace leaking out.

But even so.

Everyone on the entire Star Sea Divine Ship clearly felt how terrifying that aura was.

Inside the main control cabin.

Chen Tianling suddenly stood up, a look of surprise on his face.

"The boss has broken through!"

The shadowy figure sensed it too, its little eyes widening in surprise.

"Such a powerful aura!"

Chen and the other ten people simultaneously looked up towards the direction of the secluded meditation chamber.

Just then.

A strange sense of resonance emanated from the soul bond.

Chen Tianling was the first to sense it.

The eternal divine power within him suddenly began to boil like water.

The bottleneck in his cultivation shattered at that moment.

Late-stage True God!

He broke through on the spot!

At the same time, a powerful aura also erupted from Youying's body.

Its enormous body stretched out inside the Starry Sea Divine Ship, its scales shimmering with an eerie light.

Late-stage True God!

Chen Yi, Chen Er... Chen Shi.

The auras of the ten Holy Dragon Guards also surged at the same moment.

They all progressed from the early stage of True God to the middle stage of True God!

Powerful auras reverberated within the Starship.

Everyone broke through a minor realm, inspired by Chen Yuan's breakthrough!

.........

In a secluded, enclosed room.

Chen Yuan slowly opened her eyes.

Seven beams of light shone brightly in his eyes.

The aura of the six ultimate laws—space, metal, wood, fire, ice, and earth—flowed deep within his pupils.

Within those six halos of light, there was another dark, jet-black gleam.

That is the power of the laws of darkness.

Although he has not yet reached the ultimate level, he has already grasped the basics.

He felt the surging power within him, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.

Mid-stage Eternal True God!

His cultivation level has successfully reached a new stage.

His comprehension of the Law of Darkness has also reached a minor level.

It was a pleasant surprise.

The Dark Abyss Star Core has been completely absorbed.

Chen Yuan stretched his body, and his bones cracked and popped.

"This feels really good."

He stood up, a thought forming in his mind.

The door to the closed chamber opened automatically.

Chen Yuan stepped out.

.........

Inside the main control cabin.

Chen Tianling, Youying, Chen Yi, and the other ten were already waiting there.

Upon seeing Chen Yuan emerge, everyone bowed and clasped their hands in unison.

"Congratulations on your breakthrough, boss!"

The voices were uniform and full of energy.

Chen Tianling stepped forward, his smile impossible to hide.

"Boss, I knew that Dark Abyss Star Core would be useful to you!"

He was genuinely happy.

The fact that the gift I brought back helped my boss break through his skill level made me even happier than if he had broken through it himself.

The shadowy creature also swished its tail and came closer.

"Boss is awesome! He's reached the mid-stage of Eternal True God!"

Chen Yuan smiled and waved his hand.

"Congratulations! You've all broken through too."

He glanced at the crowd.

Chen Tianling and Youying have already reached the late stage of True God, and all ten of Chen Yi's group have also entered the mid-stage of True God.

The team's overall strength has reached a new level.

In this unfamiliar starry sky, more strength means more security.

Only strong power can bring him a true sense of security.
