High Martial Arts: Starting with a Martial Saint Peak Cultivation

Chen Yuan stood at the entrance of the mansion, looking towards the East China Sea.

The dark clouds in the night sky had long since dispersed, revealing a sky full of stars, and the outline of Longyuan Mountain in the distance was faintly visible in the moonlight.

But at this moment, his thoughts had already drifted to the sea thousands of miles away.

Shadowy perched on his shoulder, his small eyes darting around. "Boss, how about we go avenge Old Man Lin?"

Chen Yuan looked down at it.

Why are you suddenly so enthusiastic?

Youying puffed out her chest: "Although that old man Lin was a bit impulsive, he was quite kind to me."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yuan fell into deep thought.

Lin Zuyao, who had gone to great lengths to curry favor with him, was betrayed. More than 6,000 people were killed, the defense line collapsed, and the entire situation in the East China Sea became extremely precarious.

Although Zhou Qing hasn't asked him for help this time, it would be too unreasonable for him, the strongest national guardian saint of the Great Xia Dynasty, to pretend he didn't see it.

and......

As soon as Chen Yuan had a thought, the various profound mysteries of the "Nine Netherworld Clone Technique" flashed through his mind.

Each of the nine clones possesses 70% of the original's combat power.

This thing hasn't been used in actual combat yet after I've mastered it, so I'll just have to test it out on this old, cunning alien race in the Raging Waves Cave who only seriously injured Lin Zuyao.

Chen Yuan nodded, "Okay, then I'll go."

"Okay, boss!"

Chen Yuan raised his wrist, and a flash of light appeared on the Purple Gold Saint Venerable Token, directly connecting him to Zhou Qing's communication.

It was answered almost instantly.

A light screen popped up, and Zhou Qing's resolute face appeared on the screen.

He obviously wasn't asleep either.

Behind them, the lights of the Demon Suppression Fortress could still be seen.

Zhou Qing was somewhat surprised, "Chief Chen? It's so late, you..."

"I've seen the battle report from the East China Sea."

Chen Yuan spoke directly, "I plan to personally go to the Raging Waves Cave and deal with that mid-stage ninth-tier sea creature."

Zhou Qing was taken aback.

His face immediately lit up with joy.

"Chief Chen, are you going to take action personally?"

Chen Yuan nodded.

Zhou Qing took a deep breath and calmed himself down: "To be honest, although the situation in the East China Sea is critical, it hasn't reached the level of a riot in the Netherworld Cave."

"I originally planned to handle it myself, since you just finished the martial arts school league, and I can't let you do everything yourself."

He paused for a moment and then continued.

"Ever since you killed the Netherworld Demon Lord and left behind top-grade spirit crystals to reinforce the seal at the Demon Suppression Cave, the demons inside have been very well-behaved and haven't made a sound."

"I can't leave here for the time being, but I can handle dealing with a mid-stage ninth-tier enemy in the East Sea. Since you've volunteered, I'm relieved..."

As Zhou Qing spoke, a look of relief appeared on his face.

He was truly at ease.

He wasn't 100% confident he could kill this treacherous mid-stage ninth-tier alien if he tried to handle it himself.

But when Chen Yuan went there, it wasn't just about dealing with it, it was about crushing it!

Chen Yuan nodded: "Okay, I'll set off now."

"Just keep Elder Ning calm on his side, we'll talk when I get there."

"Understood!" Zhou Qing nodded solemnly.

The communication was disconnected.

Chen Yuan put away the Holy Venerable Token and looked at the shadowy figure on his shoulder.

"We've got a job."

The shadowy figure instantly perked up, flew off the shoulder, and hovered in mid-air.

next moment.

boom!

Its size began to grow rapidly.

In the blink of an eye, a colossal beast three hundred meters long loomed above the Holy Venerable's Mansion!

Chen Yuan activated his divine sense, instantly covering the entire mansion.

"Holy Dragon Guards, assemble!"

Chen Tianling and his men, who were standing guard at various locations around the villa, suddenly moved.

next moment.

Eleven figures emerged from various parts of the mansion and lined up neatly behind Chen Yuan.

Chen Tianling stepped forward: "Boss, everyone's here."

Chen Yuan nodded and took a step forward, his figure instantly appearing on the broad back of the shadow.

Chen Tianling and eleven other figures followed closely behind, landing neatly in a line, their imposing aura rustling in the night wind.

Chen Yuan looked towards the East China Sea.

"Walk."

The shadowy figure flapped its wings!

boom!

The 300-meter-long behemoth vanished into the void in an instant, leaving only a faint purple trail in the night sky.

The next second they were already a kilometer away!

......

The night wind howled behind the shadowy figure.

The mountains and rivers below swept by under the cover of night, with the occasional twinkling lights of towns visible.

Chen Yuan estimated the distance.

The distance from Longyuan Mountain to the East Sea's Angry Wave Cave is much shorter than the distance to the Demon-Suppressing Fortress in the Western Regions.

At Shadow's current speed, he can definitely arrive within an hour.

Then he looked down at the Spirit Gathering Pearl at his waist and felt the surge of physical power within his body after being tempered by the lightning tribulation.

Mid-stage of the ninth rank?

To be honest, he had even killed a peak ninth-tier opponent, so he didn't really take a mid-ninth-tier opponent seriously.

Just then.

The Purple-Gold Saintly Decree at his waist suddenly vibrated!

One, two, three, four, five.

Five more times!

Urgent message!

Chen Yuan raised an eyebrow and picked up the Holy Venerable Token to examine it.

A light screen popped up, displaying another urgent battle report; the red text was so bright it hurt the eyes:

"Urgent battle report from Azure Sky: The Sixth Elder was on his way to provide support to Raging Waves Cave when the previously peaceful Azure Sky Cave suddenly became disturbed!"

"The internal alien races have mobilized in large numbers, seemingly in response to the recently appeared Raging Wave Cave."

"The defenses of the Azure Wave Cave are in dire need of attention! Sixth Elder Ning Yutang has been forced to return and retake command of the Azure Wave Cave..."

After reading the battle report, Chen Yuan fell into deep thought.

The alien races of the Azure Wave Cave responded to the Angry Wave Cave?

Although these two celestial caves are both in the East China Sea, they are thousands of kilometers apart. How did the alien races inside manage to move in sync?

"It seems that there is indeed some unique way of connecting these celestial caves, and this operation seems to have been premeditated..." Chen Yuan murmured.

This made him think of a question.

How exactly were these caves formed?

A hundred years ago, spiritual energy revived, and spatial rifts suddenly appeared all over the world, from which a large number of alien races poured out.

But why did it suddenly appear?

Who opened these cracks?

Or perhaps... the crack was always there, but was only discovered a hundred years ago?

Chen Yuan thought for a while.

I realized I knew very little about this.

Don't talk about him.

Even Zhou Qing, the strongest man in the Great Xia Kingdom, and the experts and scholars from the Dragon Martial Division who had studied the Heavenly Cave for half their lives, could not explain the exact reason for its formation.

Everyone only knows one thing.

It appeared suddenly a hundred years ago, and then, as time went by, it appeared more and more frequently and on a larger scale...

"If I can't figure it out, I won't think about it anymore." Chen Yuan shook his head.

With the system and his cultivation level, he wasn't afraid of any number of Heavenly Caves.

When I break through to the realm above Martial Saint, I'll flatten all those Heavenly Cave Cracks, no matter what they are!

However, speaking of anything above the Martial Saint... Chen Yuan suddenly thought of something.

Those eyes deep within the Netherworld Cave!

He still vividly remembers the feeling of being stared at by that gaze for a moment.

Although I don't know that guy's exact level of cultivation, he is definitely stronger than the Netherworld Demon Lord at the peak of the ninth rank!

Could it be... that is an existence above the Martial Saint?

But for some reason, it was unable to cross over itself and could only stare blankly from the depths of the Heavenly Cave.

"Possibly." Chen Yuan narrowed his eyes.

If that's true, then it explains why, despite the many celestial caves on Earth, the alien races within them have never been able to truly conquer the world.

Those truly terrifying beings cannot get through.

But the question is... when will they be able to get here?

The cracks are widening, the restrictions are weakening, and one day those things will truly arrive.

By then...

Just then, the Holy Decree at Chen Yuan's waist vibrated once again.

One, two, three, four, five.

Five times!

Chen Yuan frowned deeply; the Great Xia Kingdom was truly in turmoil today.

He then picked up the Holy Decree to examine it.

The light screen popped open, and the bright red battle report text was so glaring that it made one's heart tighten:

"Urgent Battle Report from the Angry Wave Cave: The Second Line of Defense Has Collapsed!"

"The alien race's offensive within the Raging Wave Cave is too fierce. Under the personal leadership of that mid-stage ninth-tier alien race, the sea race army has broken through our second line of defense!"

"The second line of defense was completely breached two minutes ago! The garrisoned warrior army has suffered heavy casualties, with initial estimates suggesting the dead have exceeded 12,000! The wounded are countless!"

"Currently, the remnants of our army are retreating towards the third line of defense, but the third line of defense is not yet fully completed and its defensive capabilities are weak."

"Without timely support from Martial Saint-level combatants, it may be difficult to withstand the next wave of attacks from the sea race..."

Chen Yuan's face darkened after reading the battle report.

Twelve thousand men were killed in action.

How long has it been?

From the time Lin Zuyao was seriously injured until now, it has only been a few hours at most.

Twelve thousand lives were lost in just a few hours.

And this is just a preliminary estimate; the actual number will be much higher!
