High Martial Arts: Starting with a Martial Saint Peak Cultivation

Chen Yuan stood beneath the Tree of Origin of the World.

Feeling the continuous flow of primal power, he couldn't suppress the smile on his lips.

But he quickly calmed down.

"The scope is too large."

His divine sense swept across the entire Dragon Abyss Mountain, and the power of its origin had spread to the foot of the mountain.

Although the spread of the virus would have little impact on him, he still wanted to break through to the half-step Martial God realm as soon as possible.

"We need to rein it in."

Chen Yuan closed his eyes and established a connection between his consciousness and the World Origin Tree.

This tree belongs to him, so naturally he has control over it.

A thought crossed my mind.

The primordial power that had spread beyond the mansion was pulled back as if by an invisible hand.

The martial artists on Dragon Abyss Mountain were greedily absorbing the energy they had never felt before, when suddenly they realized... it was gone.

"Hmm? Where's the spiritual energy?"

A martial artist on patrol stopped and looked around in confusion.

How did that incredibly rich "spiritual energy" suddenly disappear?

"Could it be that the top-grade spiritual vein that Chief Chen buried has come to power?" a companion next to him guessed.

"Tsk tsk, I really want to go to the Holy Venerable's residence and freeload off for a couple of days of cultivation..."

The group lingered in the memory of the powerful energy they had just experienced, but didn't dwell on it.

......

Inside the mansion.

Chen Yuan narrowed the range of his primordial power release to within the array of the entire mansion.

The array's protective barrier lit up slightly before returning to normal.

But the world inside is completely different.

In the backyard.

The ancient and profound energy emanating from the World Origin Tree was firmly locked within the formation, not a single trace of it could dissipate.

The concentration of primal energy in the air is increasing at a rate visible to the naked eye!

Chen Yuan took a deep breath, feeling as if he were soaking in a hot spring, every pore on his body cheering.

"That's more like it."

A smile played on his lips as he walked to the Tree of Origin and sat down cross-legged.

The tree has a thick trunk and a canopy-like crown.

The emerald green leaves shimmered faintly in the moonlight.

Chen Yuan leaned against the tree trunk and closed his eyes.

"There's no time to lose."

He began to circulate the Primordial Chaos Scripture, actively absorbing the rich primordial power around him.

"boom!"

That gentle yet powerful energy surged into his body, becoming several times more violent than before!

However, Chen Yuan's physical body was incredibly strong, with meridians as wide as rivers, and he could withstand it completely.

The power of origin flowed within him, tempering his physical body little by little.

Muscles, bones, meridians, internal organs...

Every cell is being cleansed and strengthened by that ancient power.

Chen Yuan could clearly sense it.

His already abnormally powerful physical body was advancing towards a higher level at an extremely slow but real pace.

"At this rate... it shouldn't be long before we can refine our physical body to its limits."

Chen Yuan secretly made a plan in his heart.

By then, even if he doesn't reach the level of a half-step Martial God, he won't be far off.

Time passed by, second by second.

......

forecourt.

The Shadow stood on Shadowblade's shoulder, acting like an older brother, stretching out a small paw and shaking its head as it counted.

"First, you're not allowed to interrupt when the boss is speaking."

"Second, you are not allowed to disturb the eldest when he is sleeping."

"Third, you are absolutely not allowed to disturb the boss when he goes for a massage to soften his body."

Fourth, when the boss is eating...

The shadow suddenly stopped halfway through his speech.

Its gaze involuntarily drifted toward the backyard, a hint of shock flashing in its small eyes.

The aura emanating from the backyard suddenly became several times stronger!

Moreover, they were kept securely locked inside the mansion.

Not a single drop leaked out.

"Boss... has he gathered the power of origin?" Youying murmured to himself, his eyes filled with amazement.

The Shadow Blade beside him was completely stiff.

"This aura..."

Its vertical pupils were filled with disbelief.

The scent emanating from the backyard... was more than ten times stronger than before!

The World Origin Tree... has entered its growth stage?!

No, that's not right!

The concentration and intensity of this aura clearly indicate that it has entered the formation stage!

"How is that possible...?"

Shadowblade muttered to himself, his voice trembling.

A tree of the world's origin takes hundreds or even thousands of years to grow from a seedling to maturity!

Even with ample spirit crystals to feed it, it would still take decades!

But now, from the time it left the backyard until now, it has been no more than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea!

What on earth did that guy do to it?!

Shadowblade's awe of Chen Yuan deepened even further.

"What are you spacing out for?"

The shadow's claws slapped Shadowblade's face, pulling it back from its shock.

"Are you even listening to your older brother?"

Shadowblade quickly snapped out of his daze and lowered his head: "Yes! Yes! I'm listening carefully!"

The shadowy creature glanced at it suspiciously, but didn't say anything more.

With a flick of her little paw, she continued, "Fourth, you're not allowed to take food from the boss when he's eating!"

"Especially the Spirit Dragon Fish! That's mine alone; you can't even look at it twice!"

Shadowblade's lips twitched.

Would a mid-stage, ninth-level Martial Saint like him really fight with a strange beast for fish?

But it dared not show any sign of it, nodding repeatedly, "Understood, understood!"

The shadow patted its head with satisfaction.

"Okay, continue, fifth..."

Two figures wandered around the front yard, one talking and the other listening.

But while bathed in the rich aura of the world's origin, Shadowblade's thoughts kept drifting to the world's origin tree in the backyard.

If only it could stay like this forever.

Following Chen Yuan seems like a good opportunity?

......

half a month later.

Western Regions, Demon-Suppressing Fortress.

The morning sun shines on the fortress walls, where squads of fully armed warriors are changing shifts.

Since Chen Yuan forcefully killed the Netherworld Demon Lord and two early-stage ninth-tier demons last time, and left behind two thousand top-grade spirit crystals to reinforce the seal.

Although it wasn't Chen Yuan, a Saint-level array master, who reinforced it, the demons in the Netherworld Cave became much more docile.

Occasionally, a few low- to mid-level monsters would emerge from the cracks to probe, but they were all easily driven away by the guards.

Life went on peacefully.

But today... is not peaceful.

A faint energy fluctuation suddenly came from the depths of the Heavenly Cave Crack.

The fluctuation was very faint.

The faint sound was so faint that the array master in charge of monitoring almost thought the equipment had malfunctioned.

But after carefully checking, his expression changed.

"No! This energy... has never been detected before!"

He immediately reported it.

The message was relayed through layers of communication and soon reached the command center of the Demon Suppression Fortress.

Zhou Qing, who was overseeing the operation, frowned as he looked at the monitoring data: "What kind of energy is this? I've never seen it before!"

"I don't know..." The monitor shook his head.

"But the fluctuations came from deep within the Heavenly Cave, and they were very faint, not like any demons making any moves."

Zhou Qing pondered for a moment.

Could this be the powerful being suppressed by their world's will deep within the Heavenly Cave that Chen Yuan mentioned in his message?

"Continue monitoring and report any changes immediately."

"yes!"

......

at the same time.

Deep within the Netherworld Cave, in the endless dark void.

A pair of dark golden eyes suddenly opened.

Those eyes were enormous, like two dark golden moons hanging in the void, radiating a suffocating pressure!

"Um?"

The deep voice echoed in the void, carrying a hint of surprise.

The voice was hoarse and ancient, like an echo from ancient times.

Its master is a gigantic being, lurking in the deepest darkness, with each scale on its body as large as a house.

The true controller of the Netherworld Cave.

Tenth-tier Martial God Realm... Netherworld Emperor.

It has been sleeping in this darkness for who knows how many years.

Since its subordinate, who was at the peak of the ninth rank, was killed by a human martial saint, it has only slightly opened its eyes to take a look.

But powerless to do anything about it, all they could do was close their eyes in resentment.

But now...

It caught a scent that it couldn't ignore.

The power of the world's origin!

"How is that possible...?"

The Netherworld Emperor's voice was filled with disbelief.

Its divine sense, like an invisible giant net, instantly enveloped the entire Heavenly Cave, probing towards the direction of the crack.

On the other side of the crack.

Blue Star.

That faint aura came from Earth.

"It truly is the power of the world's origin..."

The Netherworld Emperor's vertical pupils contracted slightly.

It was all too familiar with that scent.

That was the energy that permeated the air when the Myriad Realms Continent still existed.

Gentleness, antiquity, and profoundness are the foundation of cultivation for all living beings.

The reason why so many powerful figures were born on the continent of myriad realms is because of it.

But this aura disappeared after the Myriad Realms Continent was destroyed.

Only in the deepest ruins can one occasionally catch a trace of something.

But now it can actually sense this aura from Blue Star, this "barren" little world in its eyes!

"The will of Earth... is actually willing to release its primordial power to its native beings?"

The Netherworld Emperor's voice carried a hint of surprise, but more so a complex emotion.

There was envy and jealousy, and a hint of resentment.

Their multiverse continent has already crumbled, and the origin of their world has long since dissipated.

Although Earth is small, its global will is intact, and it can actively release its primordial power to nurture native life.

"but......"

The Netherworld Emperor carefully sensed the concentration of that aura, and a mocking smile appeared on his lips.

"It's so thin that it must have only released a very small portion, not even enough to completely cover the entire planet."

It hadn't noticed it before because the aura was so faint, almost negligible.

The reason we can sense it now is because it caught a wisp of aura emanating from the "window" of the Heavenly Cave Crack.

"The will of Earth is still so stingy."

The Netherworld Emperor shook his head and closed his eyes again.

It doesn't care.

So what if the will of Earth releases its primal power?

It's so thin that it won't amount to much.

At most, it can cultivate a few half-step martial gods, which will not pose any threat to its plans.

"Go ahead and keep unleashing your power..."

The deep sound faded into the darkness.

"The more primal power we release, the faster this damned suppression on us will loosen, and it won't be long before the suppression completely dissipates."

"The blue planet will be ours sooner or later..."

The pair of dark golden eyes in the depths of darkness closed completely, and deathly silence returned to the void.

Only the faint primordial power emanating from the other side of the crack continued to drift in.

It's faint, but it's definitely there.

The Netherworld Emperor's eyelids twitched slightly but did not open again.

It's not in a hurry.

We've waited so many years, what's a little longer?

"Soon..."

A barely audible sound echoed in the darkness.

"Soon..."
