High Martial Arts: Starting with a Martial Saint Peak Cultivation

Blue Star is undergoing transformation, while life on Jade Flower Star is peaceful and serene.

Just as Xiao Lan was busy digesting the fragments of the Myriad Worlds Ruins.

A desolate expanse of space, extremely far from Earth.

The void, which had been calm for countless years, suddenly showed an unusual fluctuation.

First, it was like a pebble being thrown into the water.

A faint ripple spread out from the void.

The ripples grew more intense and clearer.

In just a few breaths, a pitch-black crack appeared in the starry sky.

The crack was several tens of feet long, like a gash forcibly torn open by an invisible hand.

The inside of the crack was pitch black, and nothing could be seen.

Only a violently turbulent spatial current was churning.

The turbulent currents were a chilling deep gray, sometimes swirling and cutting like sharp blades, sometimes tumbling and coiling like giant pythons.

Fine lightning patterns continuously cracked at the edges of the spatial rift.

Each flash released terrifying energy fluctuations.

Several small meteorites nearby were swept by the aftershocks and instantly turned into dust.

boom!

A dark shadow shot out from the crack.

That speed was too fast, as fast as a pebble launched by a slingshot.

It crashed into a nearby meteorite the size of a house, producing a dull thud.

The meteorite first cracked open with several spiderweb-like fissures, and then shattered completely, with fragments flying in all directions.

And the figure finally stopped.

He lay amidst the rubble, his chest heaving violently.

This is a humanoid creature.

He was nearly three meters tall and covered in a dark blue carapace.

The carapace was covered with dense cracks, and in some places it had peeled off, revealing the charred flesh underneath.

The cracks were erratic, looking as if they had been repeatedly cut by something sharp.

The carapace should have been smooth and shiny, but now it was dull like a charred iron plate.

His facial features bear a resemblance to those of a human.

But he has a curved horn on each side of his forehead.

One of the horns was broken in half, with an uneven break, as if it had been twisted off.

There were dried bloodstains at the base of the horns, and the dark blue blood had formed a thick scab.

His body was covered in scars.

There was a deep wound on his chest, the edges of which were charred black, and dark blue blood was constantly seeping out from it.

The flesh around the wound writhed, seemingly still bearing the cutting force of the spatial turbulence.

His left arm was twisted at an odd angle, clearly broken, with bone fragments visible piercing the flesh.

A large chunk of flesh was missing from his right leg, and the edges of the wound were charred black, as if it had been burned by high temperatures.

Such injuries would have killed an ordinary living being long ago.

But he was still alive, though he was clinging to life by his last breath.

This being is none other than Boluo, who narrowly escaped death from the shattered void vortex.

He lay motionless in the pile of rubble.

After a long while, he slowly opened his eyes.

Those were a pair of cloudy, dark yellow vertical pupils.

The lingering fear and relief in the depths of his pupils remained.

His eyes moved very slowly, as if he hadn't yet recovered from the brush with death.

Using his remaining right arm to support himself, Boluo struggled to sit up from the rubble.

Every movement caused excruciating pain, as if the wounds all over my body were being torn apart.

He was breathing heavily, his throat making a hoarse sound, like an old bellows being pulled.

"I...I survived?"

He looked down at his hands.

His right hand, stained with blood, was trembling slightly.

His knuckles were covered in dried blood and grime, and bits of flesh were embedded in his fingernails.

He tried to clench his fist, and a sharp pain shot through him, but he laughed.

"I really survived!"

Bo Luo tilted his head back and burst into laughter at the dark starry sky.

The laughter was hoarse and manic, filled with the ecstatic joy of surviving a catastrophe.

The sound traveled far in the vast starry sky, only to be swallowed by silence.

No one responded to him.

Only the remnants of the meteorite he smashed in the distance were still slowly drifting and dispersing.

"I, Boluo, survived! Hahaha! I survived!"

His laughter echoed through the vast starry sky.

No one responded.

Bo Luo laughed until tears streamed down his face.

The laughter aggravated the wound on his chest, causing another gush of dark blue blood to flow out.

He was completely unaware.

Dark blue blood flowed down the cracks in the carapace, dripping onto the gravel and actually corroding several shallow pits into the stone.

Only those who have actually been swallowed by the Void Shattering Vortex know how terrifying it is.

Spatial turbulence tore everything apart like a meat grinder.

The laws of time completely fail in this context.

Every inch of the void is filled with destructive power.

There was no light inside the vortex; everything was chaos, distortion, and destruction.

Any substance that gets caught in it is like a piece of paper thrown into a millstone.

The weakest of his guards was a mid-stage True God, and among them were two of his right-hand men who had just broken through to the early stage of Eternal True God.

Those guards were elites whom Bo Luo had painstakingly trained.

He is usually loyal and has excellent skills.

But once they entered the shattered void vortex, they didn't even have time to scream before they vanished into nothingness.

Bo Luo witnessed firsthand the guard closest to him being grazed by a spatial fold.

It was as if my whole body was sliced ​​into countless thin slices by an invisible blade, and then those slices were shattered by the turbulent flow, leaving nothing behind in the end.

The other guards were also strangled one by one.

They didn't even have time to escape.

Because it's impossible to tell which way is which in the shattered void vortex; it's filled with destructive power everywhere.

Those people shielded him from wave after wave of attacks.

Someone shielded him with their body, only to be blasted to pieces by the torrent of energy.

Someone used their defensive treasure to create a shield of light for him; when the shield shattered, so did the person.

If it weren't for the guards risking their lives to protect him, if he had enough rare and precious materials on him, if it weren't for the final defensive treasure exploding and generating a thrust that threw him out of the crack...

Bo Luo has now become a pile of slag in the vortex of shattered space.

Nothing was left.

Even the soul will be completely annihilated and vanish from this universe.

"You survived. It's good that you're alive."

Bo Luo stopped laughing and raised his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth.

He slowly stood up and looked around.

He stood up slowly; a large chunk of flesh was missing from his right leg, making it difficult for him to maintain his balance.

He had to grab onto a slightly larger piece of meteorite to barely keep his balance.

An unfamiliar starry sky, an unfamiliar asteroid belt.

Broken stellar debris floated in the distance, with a few asteroids occasionally streaking by.

The entire star field was unusually quiet.

The silence was so profound, like a stagnant pool.

There were no energy fluctuations, no sounds, and no trace of any living beings.

Bo Luo frowned.

"Where am I?"

He murmured softly.

I quickly recalled the star charts I had seen in my mind.

Deep Blue Starfield, Crimson Sky Starfield, Giant Wilderness Starfield...

None of the star regions he could name, nor the terrain on the star map, matched the place before him.

He tried searching his memory for features of more remote star systems, but still found no match.

"It seems they've been left far behind."

Bo Luo felt heavy-hearted.

The teleportation from the Shattered Vortex is random.

It wouldn't be surprising if they were left behind by many star systems.

It could be separated by a dozen or so star systems, or it could be separated by hundreds.

Thinking of this, he felt a pang of bitterness in his heart.

Bo Luo was originally the overlord of the Tiangang Star Region.

In that area, he was a veritable local tyrant.

He controls dozens of star systems and thousands of resource planets.

Although his cultivation level in the late stage of the Eternal True God realm is not invincible, no force dares to provoke him easily.

The other leaders of the various forces in the Tiangang Star Domain all treated him with great respect.

The leaders of those smaller and medium-sized forces didn't even dare to breathe loudly.

They live a very comfortable life.

The daily worries are nothing more than which resource planet's production has dropped again, or which faction's envoy has come to offer gifts and ask for cooperation.

It's nothing like the mess I'm in now.

Until recently, he received a piece of news by chance.

In a remote star region deep within the universe, the lineage of a supreme being has emerged.

After the news spread, the powerful figures in the surrounding star fields went crazy.

Bo Luo naturally had the same idea.

The Supreme Realm Inheritance.

That was an incredible opportunity!

If we can obtain it, we might be able to touch the threshold of the Supreme Realm!

For so many years, he has been stuck in the late stage of Eternal True God, unable to find the opportunity to break through.

The Supreme Inheritance is the most likely hope to break through the bottleneck.

He led all his elite troops and rushed there day and night.

The warship reached its maximum speed, making one space jump after another.

Everyone was extremely excited, discussing what they would do after receiving the inheritance.

As a result, they ran into the Void Shattering Vortex halfway there.

The vortex appeared without any warning.

One second everything was calm, the next the entire fleet was caught in the crossfire.

All the warships, the reserves, and the wealth accumulated over tens of thousands of years in the fleet were gone.

That's how tragic the ending was.

The entire fleet was destroyed, and all of his trusted confidants perished.

He was the only one who survived.

Moreover, in order to save his life, he consumed all the healing resources he had on him.

Several precious defensive treasures were also shattered, barely managing to withstand the most deadly waves of attacks.

Those treasures were all acquired at great cost, and each one was priceless.

Now it has all shattered into nothingness.

"Less than one-fifth of the Eternal Divine Body remains..."

Bo Luo scanned the condition inside his body with his divine sense, and his expression became even more unpleasant.

Half of his meridians were severed, and his spirit was also severely damaged.

The divine soul in the divine sea was dim and lifeless, its surface covered with cracks, like a piece of porcelain about to shatter.

Even with ample resources, it would take a considerable amount of time to recover from this kind of injury.

Now he doesn't even have a single healing pill left.

"Never mind, as long as we're alive, everything else can be solved."

Bo Luo sighed, his eyes regaining their resolve.

He has lived for hundreds of thousands of years and has an extremely strong will.

The fact that he survived the shattered void vortex means that his life was not meant to end there.

If one survives, there will be future fortunes.

This is a principle he has believed in since childhood.

"Although this place is desolate, at least it doesn't look dangerous."

Bolu continued to observe his surroundings.

The night sky was dim, and the starlight was sparse.

There was no sign of life in the surrounding meteorite belt.

He activated his remaining divine sense and spread it in all directions.

Within the range of perception, it was all empty.

There was no sign of life, no energy activity, not even a decent-sized planet.

"But it's too desolate."

He couldn't help but mutter something to himself.

This place is devoid of any life-bearing planet, not even a decent resource planet.

It should at least have some energy mineral aura.

But there was nothing there.

It's like a wasteland that has been completely swept away.

"We need to find a living creature first and ask it where this place is."

Boluo made up his mind and began to cautiously wander through the nearby starry sky.

He flew very slowly, not daring to use his full strength.

With each movement, the internal injuries would subtly flare up.

His eternal divine body was severely damaged, making even flying much more difficult for him than before.

He is in very poor condition right now.

The Eternal Divine Body lost four-fifths of its strength, and its power was less than 20% of its peak.

His soul was also severely damaged, and his range of perception was reduced by more than half.

If he were to encounter a powerful but malicious individual at this moment, he would be completely finished.

In his current state, let alone opponents of the same level, he might not be able to defeat even a late-stage True God.

"Hopefully, I won't run into any tough characters."

As Bolu flew, he prayed silently.

Servants of the level of Eternal True Gods are highly sought-after in those prosperous star systems.

The thought of his whereabouts being exposed and being caught by some powerful force sent chills down his spine.

He had heard that in some remote and barren star systems, there were gangs that specialized in hunting down lone, powerful individuals.

Those people specifically target those who are seriously injured and alone.

If they were captured, they were turned into slaves and sold on the black market.

The price is very good...

He continued searching the surrounding starry sky.

Time passed little by little.

Bo Luo found the place too desolate.

This star field is like a corner forgotten by the universe.

There are no life-bearing planets, no resource-rich planets, and not even a single passing spaceship can be seen.

In some galaxies, even the stars are lifeless.

It emits a faint red glow.

The planet's surface is pockmarked, as if it has been repeatedly bombarded by some force.

In short, it's desolate.

"What kind of godforsaken star system is this?"

Bo Luo couldn't help but curse.

The border star system where he spent his most destitute days was a hundred times more bustling than this place.

There are at least a few indigenous civilizations and a few mining planets in the border region.

What about here?

There are hardly any decent meteorites left.

"Am I supposed to heal my wounds while flying on my own?"

Bo Luo's face was grim.

In his current state, can he fly back to the Tiangang Star Region on his own?

It might take several years to fly.

Several years might not be enough.

Just as he was about to change direction and continue his search.

suddenly.

Bo Luo suddenly stopped.

The broken horn on his forehead trembled slightly, and his dark yellow vertical pupils stared intently ahead.

Ahead lay a starry sky that was no different from any other place.

It was gray and empty.

It looks completely ordinary.

A few dim stars were scattered in the distance; the meteorite belt was so thin it was almost negligible.

But Bo Luo just felt that something was wrong.

He possesses a perceptual supernatural ability inherited from ancient times, which he has already cultivated to perfection.

This supernatural ability is called "Microscopic Insight Technique".

He obtained it by chance in an ancient site.

Legend has it that when this supernatural power is cultivated to its peak, one can perceive the changes in the texture of a single grain of dust.

It took Bolu tens of thousands of years to perfect it.

This supernatural power had saved his life countless times.

Back then, his enemies set up a deadly formation to surround and kill him.

It was thanks to this perceptive ability that he was able to detect the aura of the formation in advance and escape by sheer luck.

On another occasion, he encountered an assassin disguised as a merchant on a trading planet.

The other party was extremely well concealed, even mimicking the aura of an ordinary person.

However, the Microscopic Insight Technique detected an unnatural pause in the person's breathing rhythm.

Based on this, he struck first and killed the assassin.

Now, the supernatural senses are subtly issuing a warning.

There... is something there!

Bo Luo squinted, his whole body tense.

He controlled his breathing and silently stopped in place.

Then he activated his sensory abilities to the fullest extent and began to investigate carefully.

His dark yellow vertical pupils contracted slightly, and tiny glints of light swirled deep within them.

That is a sign of the operation of supernatural powers.

"The space here... seems to have been shrouded by some kind of force."

The more Bolu perceived, the more certain he became of his judgment.

The starry sky ahead appears normal.

However, the way the spatial ripples flow is subtly different from the surrounding area.

It's like someone used a transparent curtain to cover something.

When those spatial ripples flow into that area, they are guided away by an extremely gentle force.

Walk around it instead of going straight through.

The technique was extremely exquisite.

If you don't pay close attention, you won't notice the difference at all.

"What a brilliant technique."

Bo Luo's pupils constricted slightly.

Even with his late-stage Eternal God level of vision, he could only discern a slight clue.

The person who set up this shelter must be more powerful than him!

If it were an ordinary eternal god, they probably wouldn't notice anything unusual even if they flew past it ten thousand times.

Even at his peak, he might not have been able to see through it at a glance.

"Who on earth would go to such lengths to hide in such a place?"

Bo Luo's inner alarm bells rang loudly.

His first thought was that a powerful figure had laid a trap here.

My second thought was that there might be some incredible secret hidden here.

My third thought was—run!

In his current state, if he encountered a powerful opponent who had set up such a concealment, they could crush him with a single finger.

But just as he was about to turn around, he stopped.

"wrong."

Bo Luo calmed down and looked ahead again.

"In my current state, I can't run very far."

"Besides, this place is so desolate, if a powerful person were to set a trap, they wouldn't choose this place."

He analyzed it.

It is desolate, remote, and lacks resources.

In a place like this, what powerful person would be so bored as to set a trap?

Unless that strong person has something wrong with their head.

That leaves only one possibility.

What is hidden here that it doesn't want the outside world to discover?

"What could it be?"

Bo Luo's curiosity was piqued.

He narrowly escaped death from the vortex of shattered space.

Severely injured and resources exhausted.

But they unexpectedly discovered a place that had been deliberately hidden.

"Perhaps it's a secret stronghold of some ancient power?"

"Or perhaps, it's a secluded retreat left behind by some powerful figure?"

Bo Luo licked his chapped lips.

The skin on his lips had peeled off, and there was a bloody smell.

After much hesitation, he finally decided to go closer and take a look.

However, they didn't just fly over there in a grand manner.

Instead, it gathered all its energy, like a shadow merging into the starry sky, and moved forward little by little.

He suppressed all the remaining power in the Eternal God Body to the minimum.

Even my heartbeat slowed down deliberately.

Breathing almost stopped.

Like a cold meteorite, he silently slid toward that abnormal area.

He knew he was taking a risk.

But he also knew that, given his current severe injuries, if he didn't get the right opportunity, it would take hundreds of years just to recover.

If they are found by their enemies during this period, they will surely die.

Moreover, the news must have already spread to the Tiangang Star Region.

He took all his elite troops out with him, but they were all wiped out.

Those forces that he had previously suppressed would never miss the opportunity to take advantage of the chaos.

He must recover his strength as soon as possible.

"Let's take a gamble."

Bo Luo's gaze gradually hardened.

"Being able to emerge from the shattered void vortex means that my life was not meant to end."

"Perhaps... this is where I, Bo Luo, can turn my life around!"
