High Martial Arts: Starting with a Martial Saint Peak Cultivation

Just as the Dawnbreaker Spear's cold light reached its peak, Black Fiend's attack arrived.

The black wind gun, shrouded in thick black mist, resembled a venomous snake emerging from hell, lunging straight for Chen Yuan's throat.

The gun did not arrive.

The stench was already overwhelming.

Chen Yuan tilted his head slightly and gently raised the Dawnbreaker Spear in his hand.

"clang--!"

The tips of the two spears collided, creating a shockwave visible to the naked eye.

Hei Sha felt a tremendous force coming from the gun, which made his tiger's mouth go numb and his entire right arm tremble.

He was startled, and before he could react, the black flame dragon's dragon flames had already blasted behind Chen Yuan.

The dark red flames resembled an inverted waterfall, scorching and slightly distorting the space in their wake.

Chen Yuan didn't even turn his head.

A faint silver light shone on the surface of the Azure Sky Saint Cloth. The light was as thin as a cicada's wing, yet it steadily kept the dragon flames three feet away.

"Is that all the temperature you're getting?"

Chen Yuan's voice came from the flames, carrying a clear hint of disappointment.

He swung his spear backhand, the Dawnbreaker Spear slicing through the dragon flames with a piercing sound, its spear light like a crescent moon slashing towards the black flame dragon.

The dragon reacted extremely quickly, twisting its thousands of feet long body to narrowly avoid a fatal blow.

But the spear's edge still grazed its side, slicing through several dark red dragon scales.

The black flame dragon roared in pain, and its massive body retreated hundreds of miles.

A hint of surprise flashed in his dark golden vertical pupils.

Hei Sha seized the opportunity to create distance, his hand holding the black wind gun trembling slightly.

He glanced down at the tip of his gun.

The incredibly sturdy Eternal Low-Grade Spear had a small chip punched into its tip!

"This guy...something's not right!"

Black Fiend roared inwardly.

From the moment they started fighting, Chen Yuan felt like a bottomless quagmire to him.

No matter how he attacked, his opponent would simply deflect his attacks, and his power would vanish without a trace, like a mud ox sinking into the sea.

It couldn't even make a ripple.

"This is completely unlike the power a mid-stage Eternal God should possess!"

Black Demon gritted his teeth, a ruthless glint flashing in his eyes.

But when he looked up at Chen Yuan's silver-white Sky Saint Robe and saw the dazzling starlight flowing on the tip of the spear...

That ruthlessness was quickly suppressed by greed.

"No, that's impossible!"

Black Demon kept reassuring himself.

"He's just better equipped than me! Yes, that's it!"

"Eternal top-tier armor, eternal top-tier spear—whoever wields these can easily overpower me!"

"A good-for-nothing who came from a wandering background and doesn't even dare to venture into secret realms must have a very weak foundation. He won't last long in such a high-intensity battle!"

The more he thought about it, the more sense it made, as if he had grasped at the last straw.

"As long as I wear him down, those two treasures will still be mine!"

Without further hesitation, Hei Sha unleashed his divine sense like a knife, slamming it into the mind of the Black Flame Flood Dragon.

"Old buddy, go all out!"

"Don't hold back! Grab those two items as fast as you can, and get out of here!"

Upon hearing this, the Black Flame Dragon hesitated for a moment instead of immediately lunging forward.

Its dark golden vertical pupils stared intently at Chen Yuan.

Just now, it scanned Chen Yuan again with the keen senses unique to dragons.

As a result, all of its scales stood up.

"Master, I have a feeling something is wrong."

The black flame dragon's telepathic message carried a clear sense of vigilance.

"This guy's soul strength is completely unlike what his apparent cultivation level suggests!"

"And he didn't panic at all when the two of us joined forces."

"It felt like...like we were just playing along with him!"

Upon hearing this, Hei Sha's expression changed slightly.

"You mean, he's hiding his cultivation level?"

The black flame dragon remained silent for a moment.

"I'm not sure, but Master, I suggest we retreat immediately!"

Hei Sha frowned deeply after hearing this.

He was naturally reluctant to part with those two treasures, but the Black Flame Flood Dragon's words made him feel uneasy.

After thinking for a moment, he nodded emphatically.

"Okay, I'll do as you say."

"Don't fight to the death yet, test the waters with all your might."

"If we discover that he has indeed concealed his cultivation level, we must retreat immediately."

"If not, we'll find another opportunity to make a move."

The black flame dragon responded.

The man and the beast said no more and moved at the same time.

Hei Sha held the Black Wind Spear horizontally in front of him, and the black aura around him surged, making him seem to melt into a thick ink.

He took a step forward, his figure transforming into three afterimages, simultaneously stabbing at Chen Yuan from three directions.

The black flame dragon followed closely behind, its mouth wide open, but this time it spewed out flames instead of fire.

Instead, they were beams of black light formed from the laws of darkness.

There were dozens of beams of light shooting towards Chen Yuan from all directions, blocking all his escape routes.

Chen Yuan watched this scene and sighed softly.

"this one?"

He didn't even bother to hide.

He gently twirled the Dawn Spear in his hand.

Chen Yuan floated through the attack of the three afterimages like a white feather blown by the wind.

The tip of the gun tapped a few times casually as it moved.

"Ding, ding, ding—!"

After a few crisp sounds, the three afterimages vanished simultaneously.

Black Fiend's true form was thrown backward from the black mist in a disheveled state, with a deep, bone-revealing gunshot wound on his chest.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Yuan made a backhand slash.

The Dawnbreaker Gun drew a complete silver-white circle around its body.

The ring was like an insurmountable wall of light; all the black beams of light that collided with it were deflected.

Countless black fireworks exploded in the starry sky.

Chen Yuan looked up at the black flame dragon, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"Don't waste your energy."

He said.

The moment he finished speaking, he moved.

There are no fancy moves, no complicated variations.

Chen Yuan simply gripped the Dawnbreaker Spear and casually slashed forward.

With this slash, the spear's light rose from the ground, reaching a height of ten thousand feet.

Wherever it passed, a dark rift was torn open in the void.

The surrounding light seemed to be absorbed by the spear's edge, and the entire starry sky dimmed.

Black Fiend's pupils suddenly contracted.

"Get out of the way!"

He roared at the black flame dragon.

The Black Flame Dragon also sensed that terrifying sense of crisis.

It roared and twisted its dragon body, pushing its speed to the limit.

But the spear's edge was too fast.

It was so fast it seemed to have transcended space itself.

"boom--!!!"

The spear's edge struck the black flame dragon's tail with tremendous force.

The dragon scales, as hard as divine iron, were torn to shreds like paper under this attack.

Large chunks of flesh and blood flew off, and the black flame dragon let out a miserable cry.

Its massive body was cleaved away and tumbled hundreds of miles through space, smashing three asteroids before finally coming to a stop.

Black Demon wasn't much better off.

The aftershock of the spear swept across his chest, sending him flying backward.

Hei Sha felt as if he had been hit head-on by a star.

Several ribs broke on the spot, and a mouthful of dark blood spurted out, condensing into tiny blood droplets in the vacuum.

He did more than a dozen somersaults in the starry sky before he could barely steady himself.

The eternally inferior black battle robe he wore was now reduced to shreds.

Hei Sha clutched his chest, staring at Chen Yuan in astonishment.

The black flame dragon coiled up its body again, its dark golden vertical pupils filled with shock and rage.

The severed dragon tail still floated in the starry sky, dark red dragon blood continuously oozing from the cut.

"How is that possible!"

Black Demon's voice even changed tone.

"That shot...that shot directly damaged my eternal divine body!"

He looked down at the wound on his chest, where a layer of silvery-white gunshot marks still lingered.

Even with the full power of eternal divine energy used to repair it, the wound was still healing at an alarmingly slow pace.

"This isn't the power this equipment should have!"

Black Fiend roared madly in his heart.

"They broke through the protective divine power of the Eternal God so easily, without even breaking a sweat!"

"This Chen Yuan... his power level is definitely not just at the mid-stage of Eternal True God!"

"He's concealing his true cultivation level!"

The black flame dragon was also terrified and felt a chill run down its spine.

It felt the terror of that shot more directly than Black Fiend.

"Master! This person is far more complex than he appears!"

"He is very likely a late-stage, or even peak, Eternal True God!"

Black Fiend gritted his teeth fiercely.

"How insidious!"

He stared at Chen Yuan, his eyes filled with both anger and fear.

"He has no combat record and is excessively low-key, so much so that he doesn't even dare to go to the Chengwu Star System."

"So their strength is that great!"

"This guy is even more cunning than Xiao Yuanshan!"

Even so, Black Fiend's eyes still occasionally swept over Chen Yuan's Azure Sky Saint Robe.

The silver-white armor gleamed with a cold, eerie light under the starlight.

And there was the Dawnbreaker Spear in his hand, as dazzling as a star.

"If only I could get my hands on it... if only I possessed a treasure of this caliber... I wouldn't be in this predicament!"

Greed and fear were tearing him apart.

In the end, greed prevailed.

Hei Sha took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed his injuries.

"Old buddy!"

His telepathic communication carried a ruthless determination, as if he had already decided to burn his bridges.

"Use that trick!"

"This is our last chance!"

"Alright, from now on we won't lack resources. We can just leave the Canglan Empire and fly far away!"

"If we lose, we'll both die here!"

The black flame dragon remained silent for a moment.

It twisted its broken dragon body and slowly coiled up.

"Understood."

Its voice was deep and resolute.

"Master, let's attack together!"

Black Demon nodded.

He bit his tongue and spat a mouthful of blood onto the black wind gun.

The dark red patterns on the surface of the black wind gun instantly lit up, as if countless blood worms were wriggling on the gun body.

Hei Sha was completely enveloped in black energy.

His aura began to decrease instead of increase, becoming extremely restrained.

But the killing intent in those eyes was so intense it seemed to solidify.

"Black Wind Annihilation!"

Black Fiend roared furiously.

He and his gun transformed into a black lightning bolt, shooting towards Chen Yuan.

That speed was more than twice as fast as before!

The black flame dragon also moved.

It opened its dragon mouth, and the dark red dragon flames were compressed wildly, eventually condensing into a dark purple ball of light only the size of a human head.

The sphere of light, though small in appearance, exuded an aura of destruction that made the entire starry sky tremble.

"The World-Destroying Dragon Flame Pearl!"

The black flame dragon raised its head and spat out its breath.

A dark purple orb of light tore through the void and crashed down on Chen Yuan.

Two extremely powerful attacks, one from the left and one from the right, locked onto Chen Yuan almost simultaneously.

"Yo ho."

Chen Yuan raised an eyebrow, his tone tinged with amusement.

"Not only did they not run away, but they even dared to fight back?"

He gripped the Dawnbreaker Gun tightly.

"Fine, let's finish this quickly so we can get back to work sooner."

Before he finished speaking, he had already rushed forward to meet him.

The Dawn Spear shone with an unprecedentedly brilliant light.

The light was no longer restrained as before; it now shone brightly, illuminating the entire starry sky.

Chen Yuan simply thrust his spear forward.

"Buzz—!"

The silver-white spear light collided violently with the black lightning and dark purple orbs in the center of the starry sky.

That instant.

The entire battlefield seemed to have been paused.

All sound disappeared.

All the light froze.

next second.

A visible energy ring erupted from the point of impact.

The ring expanded outward at a speed exceeding the speed of light.

Wherever it passed, all asteroids were reduced to dust.

Even the distant dust clouds were forcibly pushed back tens of thousands of miles.

Although the Ninth Legion fleet, where Su Dingchuan was located, was extremely far away, it was still thrown about by the aftershocks.

The shields of dozens of warships lit up and then went out simultaneously.

Inside the bridge, Su Dingchuan clung tightly to the command console to avoid being thrown off.

"Is this what a battle between eternal true gods is like?!"

He stared at the apocalyptic scene outside, his pupils dilating in shock.

"This is terrifying! The aftershocks of this energy are almost as powerful as a salvo from the Imperial fleet's main guns!"

The adjutant beside him slumped to the ground, his face deathly pale.

"The combined power of the Black Fiend and the Black Flame Dragon is truly astounding!"

"Can Special Envoy Chen really handle this alone?"

"I hope he's not hurt?"

Su Dingchuan pursed his lips and remained silent.

But the knuckles of the hands that were pressing on the control panel had turned completely white from the force.

He was also afraid.

Not only was he afraid, but all the soldiers in the channel held their breath.

No one speaks.

Everyone was waiting, waiting for that light, brighter than the sun, to spread out.

The aftershocks of the energy lasted for nearly half a minute.

The light gradually dimmed.

The starry sky returned to its original colors.

Su Dingchuan was the first to rush to the porthole, staring wide-eyed out.

Then he froze completely.

In the center of the battlefield, Chen Yuan remained standing in the same spot, his position hardly changing.

He held the Dawnbreaker Gun in one hand and had the other hand behind his back.

The Celestial Armor was spotless, without a single scratch.

He looked like he had just come back from a walk; not even the hem of his clothes was wrinkled.

"This...how is this possible!"

Su Dingchuan cried out in disbelief.
