High Martial Arts: Starting with a Martial Saint Peak Cultivation

Time passed by, second by second.

The starry sky to the northeast of Taihe Star has now become a hellish landscape.

The black flame dragon charged back and forth in the fleet.

With each of its attacks, a silver-gray warship exploded into fragments.

Each tail sweep could smash any spaceship attempting to form a battle array into a shower of scrap metal.

Flames and explosions rose and fell in succession.

The shattered wreckage of the ship slowly rotated in the starry sky, like torn pieces of iron.

Some of the wreckage was still emitting thick smoke, which condensed into thin, grayish-black streams in the vacuum.

Su Dingchuan's flagship has retreated to the very edge of the asteroid belt.

He stood on the bridge, his hands gripping the command console tightly.

The old scar on his right eyebrow was swollen and bright red from the excessive force.

"How many warships are left?"

His voice was terribly hoarse.

"Reporting to the Captain, less than 60% of the fleet is capable of continuing the fight."

The adjutant's voice trembled.

"The left-wing Third Standing Army was almost wiped out."

"The Ninth Elite Legion also lost more than fifty ships."

Su Dingchuan closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

He could sense that the fleet's morale had plummeted to rock bottom.

The suppressed sobs of soldiers could even be faintly heard over the communication channel.

But no one ran away.

At this distance, running away is tantamount to suicide.

Once it breaks away from the fleet formation, the Black Flame Dragon can catch up in the blink of an eye.

That beast had an extremely keen sense of space.

Any warship attempting to turn around will become its primary target.

"Special Envoy Chen..."

Su Dingchuan gritted his teeth, squeezing out the words from deep in his throat.

Are you almost there?

Inside the Black Wind Gang's flagship.

The space pirates stood by the porthole, watching the distant flames rise, laughing uproariously.

"Hahaha! Is this all the army of the Azure Sky Empire is capable of?"

"You dare chase after us? You really don't know the meaning of death!"

"Look! Look! Three more ships have been blown up by the boss's beasts!"

"These imperial lackeys are a bunch of useless trash!"

"Lord Black Flame Dragon is mighty! Chief Boss is mighty!"

Laughter, curses, and cheers mingled together.

The bridge was filled with the strong smell of alcohol and excited chatter.

Hei Sha sat in the main seat, a cruel smile playing on his lips.

He looked at the Imperial flagship struggling to retreat on the screen and shook his head slightly.

"Overestimating one's abilities."

He said in a low voice.

"A bunch of scum who don't even have an eternal God dare to block my way."

Black Demon raised his left hand and gently touched his temple.

A divine sense transmission pierced through the void and entered the mind of the Black Flame Flood Dragon.

"Stop playing."

"Get rid of these bugs quickly."

In the distant starry sky, the black flame dragon shuddered suddenly, raising its head and letting out an even more terrifying roar.

"roar!!!"

The sound was so loud it seemed to shatter the entire starry sky.

The energy shields on the surfaces of countless warships flashed simultaneously.

"Yes, my master."

The Black Flame Dragon's voice was deep and violent.

The killing intent in its dark golden vertical pupils intensified even further.

The next moment, its attack became even more frenzied.

The dragon's body, thousands of feet long, resembled a black whip of death.

With each lash, several warships were reduced to ashes.

"I can't hold on any longer!"

Su Dingchuan roared hoarsely.

He turned to look at his adjutant.

"Pour all remaining energy into the main cannon!"

"Even if it means death, we'll teach that beast a lesson he won't forget!"

The adjutant was taken aback, then roared with red eyes.

"yes!"

The flagship's main cannons lit up again.

But compared to the enormous figure of the Black Flame Dragon, that light was as insignificant as a matchstick.

Just when everyone was about to despair.

The starry sky outside the battlefield suddenly began to distort violently.

A dark crack silently opened.

The crack was tens of thousands of feet long, with silvery-white spatial turbulence surging at its edges.

Both the Imperial fleet, which was struggling to hold on, and the laughing space pirates were drawn to this sudden change.

"What is that...?"

Su Dingchuan stared blankly at the crack, a look of bewilderment flashing in his eyes.

next second.

A silver-white flying boat slowly emerged from the crack.

The boat's hull is as white as snow, and its patterns are as star-like as stars.

It was Chen Yuan's Starry Sea Divine Ship!

"It's Special Envoy Chen! It's Special Envoy Chen's starship!"

I don't know who shouted it first.

The voice was tinged with both sobs and ecstasy.

"Reinforcements have arrived! Special Envoy Chen has arrived!"

"We're saved!"

The morale of the Imperial fleet, which was on the verge of collapse, suddenly surged.

Many soldiers collapsed in front of the control panel, covering their faces with their hands.

Inside the Starship.

Chen Yuan stood in front of the main porthole, gazing at the starry sky outside, shattered by the flames of war.

"Finally made it."

He muttered something under his breath.

"The losses are not particularly severe and are still within an acceptable range."

His gaze swept over the still ferocious black flame dragon in the distance, and then looked at the dark red pirate fleet further away.

"This Black Demon is even more arrogant than I thought."

Chen Tianling and Youying stepped forward at the same time.

"Boss, let me go."

Chen Tianling said in a deep voice.

"I am more than enough to handle a mere mid-stage Eternal True God pirate leader."

The shadow also slapped its claws against its chest.

"Boss, let me go too! I promise I'll tear those bastards to shreds within ten breaths!"

Chen Yuan raised his hand and pressed it down.

"Don't move."

His tone was flat.

"Have you forgotten what I just said?"

"In the eyes of the outside world, you are not even at the mid-stage of Eternal True God, or even at the level of Eternal True God."

"Whoever rushes out will be exposed."

Chen Tianling frowned.

"But boss..."

"No buts."

Chen Yuan interrupted him.

"I'll handle these people."

He turned around, his gaze sweeping over the two of them.

"You can stay on the ship and watch my performance."

Chen Tianling and Youying exchanged a glance, both seeing helplessness in each other's eyes.

But all I could do was nod.

"Yes, boss."

Chen Yuan said no more.

A thought suddenly occurred to him.

The next second, his figure had already disappeared from the Starship.

Above the battlefield.

Chen Yuan's figure appeared out of thin air.

Without using any spatial treasures, he instantly traversed hundreds of thousands of miles solely through his control over space.

A white robe fluttered gently in the vacuum.

The suppressed aura of a mid-stage Eternal True God was released at just the right moment.

"Gentlemen of the Ninth Legion, thank you for your hard work."

Chen Yuan's voice was calm, yet it clearly reached every Imperial warship.

"I will report your bravery today to the Empire as it is."

"The pensions for all fallen soldiers and the rewards for all those who have rendered meritorious service will not be lacking."

He paused, his voice becoming even deeper.

"Leave the rest of the battle to me."

Su Dingchuan stood on the bridge, staring blankly at the white figure.

His lips trembled slightly.

"Special Envoy Chen... has finally arrived."

He pounded his chest hard, his eyes bloodshot.

"The brothers' perseverance paid off!"

"We...are saved!"

On the channel, countless soldiers wept with joy.

"Special Envoy Chen! It's Special Envoy Chen!"

"Please, sir, avenge us!"

"These damned space pirates, not a single one of them can be let go!"

The roars rose and fell, carrying with them boundless exhilaration.

Inside the Black Wind Gang's flagship.

The space pirates, who were just cheering, suddenly felt as if they had been choked.

"That guy... is he Chen Yuan?"

"The Azure Sky Empire's support arrived so quickly!"

"Damn it! We were so close to capturing Taihe Star!"

"Boss! What do we do now?"

The bridge was filled with all sorts of panicked noises.

Black Fiend slowly stood up.

He walked to the porthole and stared coldly at the white figure.

"They arrived quickly."

He said coldly.

"But that's all there is to it."

Hei Sha's divine sense swept over Chen Yuan.

A moment later, a hint of disdain appeared on his lips.

"Just as I guessed."

"Chen Yuan's aura is utterly unremarkable."

"He is indeed at the mid-stage of the Eternal True God realm, but his foundation is shallow and his divine power is weak."

"This kind of guy, let alone two against one."

"I could probably beat him by myself."

He turned to look at the space pirates.

"What's the panic?"

"That guy isn't very strong; he's no threat to us."

"It's impossible to grab Taihe Star today."

Hei Sha withdrew his gaze, a hint of resentment flashing across his face.

"Let's give them a break this time."

"However, he couldn't stop us from leaving like this."

He no longer hesitated.

With a flick of his right hand, he took out a silver ring about the size of a palm.

The entire ring was woven from countless fine silver threads.

The surface is filled with rich spatial law fluctuations.

It's as if you could suck the entire starry sky in just by pressing it into the void.

It was that eternal, supreme spatial treasure—the Space-Containing Ring.

"Stand firm."

"Black Fiend said in a deep voice."

"I'll take you all into the Void Ring right away."

"We'll let you out once we break through."

The space pirates nodded in agreement.

"Boss, you must be careful!"

"Then Chen Yuan definitely can't stop you!"

"The Boss is awesome!"

Black Demon sneered.

"rest assured."

"Him?"

He raised his right hand and made a sweeping motion in the air.

Countless silver rays of light surged out from the Navigation Ring.

Like a boundless net, it enveloped the entire Black Wind Legion fleet.

A flash of light.

One hundred and eighty space pirate warships, along with all the space pirates on board, were all collected into the space ring.

Outside Taihe Star, only a solitary black figure remained.

Black Fiend put away the Void Ring.

He raised his head and beckoned to the black flame dragon in the distance.

The black flame dragon immediately understood.

Its massive body twisted in mid-air and flew towards Hei Sha like a black torrent.

In just a few breaths, it shrank to ten feet in size and coiled up beside Hei Sha.

A human and a beast float side by side in the starry sky.

"Your Mightiness."

Black Demon spoke first.

His voice was hoarse and cold, like a piece of cold iron rubbing against each other in the dark.

"You've come at just the right time."

"You've ruined my plans."

"We'll settle this score with you another time."

Chen Yuan looked at Hei Sha.

His gaze was as calm as a stagnant pool.

The divine sense had already silently swept over the other person's entire body.

"This Black Fiend has comprehended the three laws of space, fire, and darkness."

Chen Yuan silently made plans in his mind.

"The Law of Fire has reached its ultimate level, while the Laws of Space and Darkness are slightly weaker."

"That black flame dragon is about the same."

"His combined combat strength is quite formidable among those of the same level."

"Unfortunately, in front of me, they are not even ants."

His lips twitched almost imperceptibly.

"I really want to wipe them out with a single thought."

Chen Yuan sighed inwardly.

"That won't do."

"I have to act under everyone's watchful eyes."

"Don't go too far."

Chen Yuan no longer hesitated.

A thought suddenly occurred to him.

A silvery-white light surged from within him, instantly covering his entire body.

That is the Celestial Armor.

The silvery-white armor plates covered the armor in layers like scales.

The shoulder armor flares slightly to the sides, and there is a dark gold star pattern on the chest.

The waistband was tightened, and the boots were like silver.

The cloak behind her fluttered gently in the vacuum.

The entire suit of armor features sharp yet elegant lines.

Despite being a defensive treasure, it exudes a chilling fighting spirit.

However, at this moment, Chen Yuan kept its true qualities well hidden.

To outsiders, this is a piece of eternal, top-quality defensive armor.

Although precious, it's not exactly extraordinary.

Black Fiend, who was preparing to break through and leave, suddenly stopped.

His gaze was fixed on the Azure Sky Saint Robe on Chen Yuan's body.

"That's... the Eternal Supreme Battle Armor!"

Black Fiend's pupils suddenly contracted.

His consciousness reflexively swept over it.

Once, twice, three times.

"That's right! It's the eternally top-quality product! There's absolutely no mistake!"

Black Fiend's breathing suddenly became rapid.

He stared intently at the silver-white armor, his eyes burning like two will-o'-the-wisps.

"This guy, whose strength is inferior to mine, actually possesses a permanent, top-tier defensive battle armor?"

"Are you kidding me!"

"Wearing such a fine item on him is a complete waste!"

Black Fiend's fists clenched so tightly they cracked.

Greed grew wildly in his heart like weeds.

"I follow the path of beast taming, so my physical combat strength is relatively weak."

"Defense, in particular, has always been my weakness."

"If I could get my hands on that armor..."

"My strength has more than doubled!"

Black Demon swallowed hard.

The idea of ​​retreating, which had been firmly established, vanished completely at this moment.

"I'm not leaving."

He thought fiercely to himself.

"Let's grab this armor first, then we can leave!"

His divine sense, swift as lightning, traveled towards the black flame dragon beside him.

"Old buddy, let's go together later."

"Find a way to kill Chen Yuan, or at least severely injure him!"

"I want his armor!"

The black flame dragon let out a low roar.

"No problem, Master!"

Greed and murderous intent ignited in its dark golden vertical pupils.

Chen Yuan naturally saw the changes in Hei Sha's expression clearly.

"Heh, so you've taken a liking to my armor?"

He chuckled inwardly.

"You have good taste."

"Unfortunately, I wasn't born with that kind of luck."

Chen Yuan wasn't in a hurry to make a move.

His mind started racing again.

A dazzling beam of light shot out from his body and landed steadily in his palm.

That was the Dawn Shot.

The gun barrel is straight like a dragon, with specks of star blue showing through its silver-white color.

At the tip of the spear, a faint, cold glint flickered uncertainly.

At this moment, it is also suppressed to the eternal supreme level.

Even so, the chilling intent emanating from the gun still sent a slight chill through the entire starry sky.

Black Demon's eyes lit up again.

"Long spear!"

"Another timeless masterpiece!"

He was so excited that he was trembling slightly.

"And the quality of that spear is actually higher than my Black Wind Spear!"

"Just how many treasures does this kid have on him?"

Black Demon licked his lips.

The greed in his eyes was almost overflowing.

"If we can obtain these two treasures, even if we fail to seize Taihe Star, this trip will be worthwhile!"

Chen Yuan was too lazy to waste any more time with him.

He held the Dawnbreaker gun horizontally in front of him, his voice calm and clear.

"Black Wind Star Pirates".

"He has committed the crimes of plundering the borders of the Canglan Empire, killing the Empire's soldiers and civilians, destroying the Canglan Empire's warships, and disrupting the Canglan Empire's trade routes... He is guilty of multiple crimes and, according to the laws of the Canglan Empire, shall be executed."

With each word Chen Yuan spoke, his voice grew colder.

"This special envoy is giving you one last chance."

"Surrender now, and I'll spare your life a little longer."

"If you insist on resisting, you will bear the consequences."

Hei Sha was taken aback when he heard this.

Then he threw his head back and burst into laughter.

The laughter was hoarse and grating, like a broken saw repeatedly tearing at metal.

"Surrender?"

"Spare my life?"

Black Demon laughed so hard that tears almost streamed down his face.

"Chen Yuan, who do you think you are?"

"A useless piece of trash with all cultivation but no battle record! What right do you have to talk to me about the laws of the Canglan Empire?"

"In this vast sea of ​​stars, might makes right!"

He abruptly stopped laughing.

His facial expression turned ferocious and savage.

"Today, I want more than just your gun! I want your armor too!"

"I'll take your life!"

The moment the words fell.

Black Fiend flipped his right hand.

A jet-black spear appeared out of thin air.

The gun was entirely black, with dark red patterns entwined on its shaft.

Black smoke swirled around the tip of the spear, as if countless wronged souls were wailing.

It was his weapon—the Black Wind Gun.

Eternal inferior grade.

"Die!"

With a roar, Hei Sha merged with his spear and shot towards Chen Yuan.

The black flame dragon followed closely behind.

Its size suddenly increased, and it regained its terrifying size of several thousand feet.

Dark red dragon flames gushed from its mouth, heading straight for Chen Yuan's back!

The human and the beast worked together in perfect harmony.

Even before the attack arrived, its terrifying power had already caused the surrounding asteroids to shatter.

"Good timing."

Chen Yuan thought to himself calmly.

His fingers tightened slightly on the Dawnbreaker.

"Since you're so eager to die..."

"Then I'll play along with you until the end."

Chen Yuan did not move.

He slowly raised the Dawnbreaker Gun.

On the silver-white gun barrel, streaks of starlight began to flow.

The light was extremely faint and dim.

But it was this seemingly casual lift that...

The entire starry sky seemed to fall silent in that instant.

Only a glint of cold light at the tip of the spear, so bright that it was impossible to look directly at it.
