High Martial Arts: Starting with a Martial Saint Peak Cultivation

Shortly after Xiao Lan's voice fell, the entire Blue Star seemed to be accelerated.

The headquarters building of the Dragon Martial Division was brightly lit, and all communication channels were open.

Encrypted signals traversed mountains and oceans, simultaneously ringing the communicators of all martial saints and above on Earth.

Zhou Qing stood in the center of the command room, in front of a huge holographic star map.

A red dot is marked at the top of the star map, hovering outside the atmosphere of the blue planet.

"Is everyone here?"

Zhou Qing's voice was deep and serious, carrying an unprecedented air of solemnity.

The communications officer beside him nodded quickly.

"Reporting to the Chief, all 173 martial saint-level or higher experts worldwide have been connected to the channel."

"Representatives from all factions in the Human Alliance have also logged on."

Zhou Qing took a deep breath and pressed the switch on the holographic projection in front of him.

His image appeared on the communication terminals of every martial saint-level or higher expert on Earth.

Lin Zuyao stood in the courtyard of the Lin family's ancestral home, looking up at the light screen in front of him.

Lin Mengyao stood behind him, her face pale.

At the headquarters of the Western European Union, several veteran powerhouses with blond hair and blue eyes sat around a secret room.

Inside the military base of the Kingdom of Amelika, several figures with powerful auras simultaneously opened their eyes.

In a grand hall in the polar bear kingdom, a burly man nearly two meters tall slammed a vodka bottle onto the table.

Shadowblade and Netherworld Fiend exchanged a glance and simultaneously pressed the communication orb in front of them.

The most elite forces on Earth have all gathered at this moment.

"Everyone, I won't go into details about the situation."

Zhou Qing spoke.

His voice was transmitted to every corner of the world through communication channels.

"You all heard what the Will of Blue Star just said."

He paused, his gaze sweeping over the familiar faces in the holographic projection.

"A powerful being in the late stage of Eternal True God realm, from the cosmos, is attacking the defensive shield of our Blue Star."

"The will of Earth cannot hold out for much longer."

The communication channel was completely silent.

No one speaks.

Only faint breathing could be heard coming from different places.

"This is the biggest crisis in the history of Earth."

Zhou Qing's voice suddenly rose a few decibels.

"This is even more serious than the alien invasions of the Heavenly Cave era! It's even more powerful than any enemy we've ever faced!"

He clenched his fist.

"I know that everyone here is well aware of the gap between us."

"Above the Martial Saint is the Martial God, above the Martial God is the True God, and above the True God is the Eternal True God."

"And the strongest combat force on our Blue Star right now... is only at the Martial God realm."

Zhou Qing paused for a moment after saying this.

"The gap is so large that it's even despair-inducing."

"But surrendering and waiting to die has never been the style of warriors from Earth!"

Zhou Qing's voice suddenly rose in pitch.

"Even a cornered beast will fight!"

"Besides, we are not beasts, we are human! We are warriors who have fought our way out of the Heavenly Cave era!"

His emotions were like a fire, burning into everyone's hearts through the communication signals.

Lin Zuyao clenched his fists in his own yard.

Lin Mengyao bit her lip.

An elderly man from the Western European Union slowly closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his gaze had changed.

Several powerful figures from the Kingdom of Amelica exchanged glances and nodded in unison.

"So I'm not going to sit here and wait to die."

Zhou Qing spoke slowly and deliberately.

"Even if we can't win, we have to fight!"

"Even if it only causes them a little trouble, we have to fight!"

Even if our attacks are just mosquito bites in his eyes, we still want him to know—

"The people of Earth are not pushovers he can bully!"

The communication channel was silent for a second.

Then, it exploded.

"beat!"

Lin Zuyao's voice rang out first, old yet powerful.

"All martial artists of the Lin family are to be at the command of the Alliance!"

The representatives of the Western European Union stood up.

"The Western European Union's combat forces are all on standby!"

The powerful figures from the Kingdom of Amelica also spoke up.

"Amelika's railgun is ready to charge!"

The bald, muscular man from the polar bear country burst into laughter.

"I've been waiting to hear that! Damn it!"

Representatives from various factions spoke up one after another.

The atmosphere in the communication channel went from tense to boiling over in just a dozen seconds.

Zhou Qing let out a heavy sigh.

"Alright, since everyone agrees, let's start formulating a specific battle plan now."

He reached out and traced a line on the holographic star map.

A three-dimensional model of the blue planet was displayed before all the attendees.

"The energy shield of Blue Star's will can hold for most of the day. During this time, we need to complete the following deployment..."

Zhou Qing spoke very quickly.

"First, all martial artists of rank nine and above shall immediately proceed to the designated assembly point."

"The defenses will be deployed in seven areas, with Luodu as the center."

"After entering Earth, the enemy launched a concentrated attack immediately."

"Second, all high-powered weapons are now ready for launch."

"Use everything you can: nuclear fusion warheads, railguns, ion beam cannons."

"Third, all low-level martial artists and ordinary civilians should evacuate to underground shelters and stay as far away as possible. Don't make unnecessary sacrifices."

Zhou Qing's fingers kept tapping and drawing on the star map.

"Fourth, and most importantly."

He paused.

"If the will of Blue Star can still mobilize energy, hopefully it will create an opportunity for us to focus fire the moment the enemy breaks through the shield."

"Even if it only delays them for a second, that's enough."

Xiao Lan's voice came through the conference channel.

Her voice was tired, yet it carried a resolute air.

I will try my best.

"I'll give you a maximum of three seconds."

Zhou Qing nodded.

"Three seconds is enough."

He looked around, his voice regaining its composure.

"Everyone, time waits for no one."

"Now, everyone go back and prepare."

"Meeting adjourned!"

One by one, the communication screens went out.

Countless figures on the blue planet began to move rapidly.

The piercing alarm sounded simultaneously across all the major human alliance member states.

The highest level of red alert.

Kyoto, Bactria.

The alarm lights on the headquarters building of the Dragon Martial Division were flashing wildly, turning the entire building blood red.

"Hurry! Team one, head to the east gate; team two, head to the south square!"

"All those above rank nine, follow me!"

"Ammunition team, bring out all the psionic cannons from the warehouse!"

One after another, martial artists rushed out of the building, their footsteps quick and powerful.

There wasn't much fear on their faces.

More often than not, it is a resolute determination to face death.

"Brother, are you scared?"

A young sixth-rank martial artist asked his companion as he ran.

"What are you afraid of! Martial Ancestor almost single-handedly protected the entire Blue Star back then, today it's our turn!"

"Haha, you're right! Even if we can't beat him, we should still take a bite out of him!"

The two looked at each other, then burst into laughter at the same time.

Throughout the Great Xia Kingdom, teams of elite warriors assembled at top speed.

Orders from the military headquarters came one after another.

All martial artists of the seventh rank or above, regardless of whether they are independent cultivators or scions of noble families, are all assigned to the temporary combat sequence.

Meanwhile, the heavy alloy covers on the launch silos hidden deep in the mountains were opened one by one.

One after another, intercontinental ballistic missiles carrying nuclear fusion warheads slowly rose from the ground.

Beside the launch silos, in front of each control panel, technicians' fingers flew across the keyboards.

"Target locking system calibration complete!"

"Thruster preheating complete!"

"Ballistic trajectory calculation in progress!"

"Launching silo number three is now on standby!"

"Launching silo number five is now on standby!"

"All launch silos are ready!"

Commands echoed one after another, as if announcing Earth's last trump card.

West coast of the country of Amelica.

Inside the largest military base, the sirens blared so loudly they nearly ruptured eardrums.

One by one, fighter jets slowly rose from the underground hangar.

Although it can't even handle the most basic interstellar travel, the ion beam cannons mounted on the warships are currently the most powerful technological weapons on Earth.

"Once all fighter jets have taken off, assemble in the predetermined formation over Luodu!"

"Beam cannon charging initiated!"

"Remember, no matter what happens, wait for the signal from the will of Earth!"

The commander's voice came through the communication channel, carrying a steely, ruthless quality.

Soldiers ran into the warship in perfect unison.

Their expressions were serious, but none of them backed down.

Western European Union, Polar Bear Nation, Desert Continent Union... the whole world is taking action.

All humans and even alien races on Earth are now on the same side.

Because that black dot in the sky threatens the entire blue planet.

Outside Luodu City.

The plaza in front of the Dragon Martial Division headquarters was already packed with people.

They were not refugees.

They were martial artists who came to report.

There were elderly martial artists with white hair, and young martial artists who had just come of age.

There were generals in military uniforms, and also wandering knights carrying long swords...

They lined up in long queues, waiting to be assigned tasks.

No one cut in line, and no one made a fuss.

It was so quiet that you could only hear footsteps and breathing.

Zhou Qing stood on the rooftop of the headquarters building, looking down at the people who were preparing to die.

His eyes were a little red.

"This is Earth..."

He said something in a low voice.

Two figures quickly approached from a distance.

One was dark purple, and the other was dark red.

It was Shadow Blade and Netherworld Fiend.

They landed on the rooftop, their footsteps extremely light.

Zhou Qing turned around and nodded to the two of them.

"You've arrived."

Shadowblade stepped forward.

"Ming Sha and I are currently the strongest fighting force on Blue Star, so naturally we should be at the forefront."

Ming Sha nodded without saying a word.

Zhou Qing smiled, a smile tinged with deep weariness and apology.

"I didn't want to trouble you, but now that things have come to this, there's no other way."

He was silent for a few seconds, then spoke.

"I just want to ask you one honest question."

What's the win rate?

Shadow Blade looked at him, his vertical pupils slightly contracting.

He opened his mouth, but in the end only said one sentence.

"Very low, almost none."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Qing gave a wry smile.

"Just as I thought."

"It's even lower than I expected."

He turned his head and looked up at the sky.

"But I still want to give it a try."

"If we don't try, there's not even the last glimmer of hope left."

Zhou Qing's eyes reflected the dim protective shield high in the sky.

And the dark blue figure constantly bombarding outside the protective shield.

Even from hundreds of miles away, he could feel that terrifying energy fluctuation.

With each strike, the entire sky trembled.

The light emitted by the protective shield grew dimmer and dimmer, like a lamp that was about to run out of oil.

Shadowblade followed his gaze and spoke in a low voice.

"Eternal stage of Eternal True God".

Even if he is seriously injured, his strength is less than 20% of his peak.

"But it's just these two percent..."

He stopped and didn't continue.

Ming Sha stood aside without saying a word, his eyes fixed on the plains outside Luodu City.

There was a long silence.

Then he spoke.

"Perhaps... we still have our most powerful trump card."

Zhou Qing and Ying Ren were both taken aback.

The two followed Ming Sha's gaze.

On the plain, a colossal statue soars into the clouds.

A statue of Chen Yuan.

Dressed in white, holding a gun, with deep, penetrating eyes, he seemed to still be gazing down upon this land.

"The Celestial Guardian Statue".

Shadowblade's eyes lit up.

"The master left behind a statue of a celestial being, saying that one could contact him."

Zhou Qing also came to his senses.

"Yes, the idols do have the function of transmitting messages."

But then he hesitated.

"But the biggest problem now is that nobody knows what Wu Zu went through after leaving Blue Star."

"Where is he now? What is his cultivation level? Is he safe?"

"and......"

Zhou Qing paused, his brows furrowing.

"When the Martial Ancestor left, he was only at the peak of the True God realm."

"Even if he makes contact, he might not be able to eliminate the enemies outside through the celestial statue from such a distance."

"The difference between the peak of True God and the late stage of Eternal True God is an entire major realm."

Both Shadowblade and Dark Fiend fell silent.

They all understand this principle.

Ultimately, the celestial statue is just a communication treasure.

At such a distance, very little power can be transmitted.

Chen Yuan himself is far away in the depths of the universe.

Even if he knew Blue Star was in trouble, by the time he returned, Blue Star would no longer exist.

"Let's take a look first."

Shadowblade sighed.

"If all else fails, then try this last resort."

Zhou Qing nodded.

"Right now, let's focus all our efforts on preparing for battle."

He turned and walked downstairs.

After walking a few steps, he stopped again.

Thank you.

"For the sake of Earth."

Shadowblade and Netherworld Fiend exchanged a glance, neither of them speaking, but both pairs of vertical pupils held the same resolute determination.

The core space of Blue Star.

Xiao Lan watched all of this in silence.

Her gaze swept over the assembling army, the rapidly charging weapons, and the running warriors.

And then there are the ordinary people huddled together in underground shelters.

She knew they were all fighting desperately.

But she still didn't have much hope.

"Too weak."

Xiao Lan said something in a low voice.

The creatures on Earth are still too weak.

time is too short.

It's only been a little over a year since Chen Yuan left.

After she devoured the ruins of countless worlds, the spiritual energy concentration on Blue Star increased several times over, and rare and precious materials emerged one after another.

But even the best resources need time to be transformed.

Can a civilization develop from an early stage of martial god to a true god in just one year?

The answer is no.

"If only we had ten more years, or even just five more..."

Xiao Lan bit her lower lip, her eyes filled with resentment.

"It won't be that pathetic."

She once again turned her gaze to the statue outside Luodu City.

Chen Yuan's statue was still clearly visible in the night.

"Chen Yuan..."

Little Blue murmured softly.

"What should I do?"

Outside of Earth.

Bo Luo watched as more and more cracks appeared on the protective shield, his whole body trembling with excitement.

"Honey, there's definitely a treasure!"

Bo Luo licked his chapped lips.

Dark blue blood dripped from the corner of his mouth, but he didn't care.

"A planet that has awakened consciousness is hidden so cleverly, and there is only a group of weak natives inside."

"What does that mean?"

Bo Luo muttered to himself.

"This means that the being who hid this planet simply didn't have time to move its contents!"

"This means that this opportunity was a gift from God to me, Boluo!"

He became more and more excited as he thought about it.

The more excited you are, the greater the pressure you apply to your palms.

boom! boom! boom!

One palm strike after another.

The protective shield was riddled with cracks, and fragments began to peel off from the edges.

"You ants inside, you can't stop me!"

Bo Luo roared loudly, his voice echoing through the starry sky.

"Those who know what's good for them will open their shields themselves, and I might spare their lives!"

"Otherwise, once I smash this shell, none of you will survive!"

His voice, faintly transmitted through the cracks in the protective shield, reached deep into the Earth.

Countless people heard this threat.

Some people's hands are shaking.

Someone's teeth are chattering.

But no one backed down.

Fuck you!

A young martial artist standing in the square raised his middle finger to the sky.

His voice was loud and trembling, yet exceptionally clear.

"There are no cowards on Earth!"

Everyone around laughed.

He laughed very loudly.

Laughter drowned out the fear.

Boluo couldn't hear the sounds inside the Blue Star, but he could see the actions of those ants.

Several weak locals actually dared to yell at him.

This made him even angrier.

"It seems you're going to have to suffer the consequences instead of accepting a polite offer."

Bo Luo's eyes turned cold.

He didn't say anything more.

Instead, it began to build up its strength.

Dark blue eternal divine power condensed between his palms, forming a continuously compressing ball of energy.

A terrifying aura surged from the surface of that energy sphere.

Even the surrounding space began to distort.

"Since that's the case, then I'll forcefully break through this tortoise shell!"

Bo Luo let out a loud shout.

He thrust out both palms forcefully.

The ball of energy, carrying a destructive aura, slammed heavily into the protective shield.

boom!

The protective shield emitted a piercing buzzing sound.

The cracks spread rapidly.

But it still didn't completely shatter.

Xiao Lan screamed in the core space, her body trembling violently.

Both World Origin Trees simultaneously emitted a blinding green light, desperately channeling energy into the protective shield.

"I won't let you in!"

Xiao Lan gritted her teeth, her eyes bloodshot.

Her voice echoed in the core space.

The cracks on the protective shield, under the repair of the green light, slowly began to heal a bit more.

Bo Luo was stunned.

His smile immediately widened.

"Fine! I'll see how long you can hold out!"

"The will of a planet at the level of a true god has actually managed to hold me off for so long."

"The more you act like this, the more I want to know what's hidden on this planet!"

Bo Luo raised his palm again.

The dark blue divine power began to gather once again.

He had made up his mind to get in no matter what.

As for whether there will be a powerful figure guarding it...

Bo Luo had already ruled out this possibility.

"If there really is an Eternal God of the same level as me inside, they would have made their move the moment I entered this area."

"There's no way I could have just easily spent so much time hitting the shield."

He gave a cold laugh.

Bo Luo became more and more certain as he thought about it.

The mysterious powerful figure who hid this planet is definitely not here right now.

Even if he's on his way back, by the time he arrives, it'll be too late.

"I would have already run away with the treasure by then!"

Bo Luo's lips twitched slightly.

He knew, of course, that doing so would offend a mysterious and powerful figure.

But so what?

Fortune favors the bold.

"Now that we've already started, even if we give up now, they will never let me go."

"We might as well go all the way and grab all the benefits first!"

A ruthless glint flashed in Bo Luo's eyes.

"Let's do it!"

Without further hesitation, he mobilized all the remaining eternal divine power within his body and began a frenzied attack on the protective shield.

"I, Bo Luo, swear I will find out what's in here today!"

"Anyone who gets in my way will die!"

Dark blue light flickered incessantly in the starry sky as palm strikes slammed into the protective shield one after another.

The cracks on the protective shield were multiplying, and the sky above Blue Star was trembling violently...
