High Martial Arts: Starting with a Martial Saint Peak Cultivation

Within the territory of the Great Xia Kingdom.

One after another, the rioting caves were suppressed.

But the situation is not so optimistic in other parts of Earth.

Powerful nations like the Polar Bear Kingdom and the Amelia Kingdom have paid a heavy price.

Those weaker forces were even more overwhelmed and exhausted, barely managing to hold onto their own little territory.

And those that simply could not be held onto.

They could only wait helplessly for other forces to come to their rescue.

Nanyang Alliance.

This is a force jointly established by several countries and powers near the islands of Central and South Asia, and its strength ranks among the middle on Earth.

now.

The headquarters of the Nanyang Alliance was in a state of chaos.

The uprisings in various places have overwhelmed them, leaving them severely short-handed.

And just then, bad news arrived.

......

Nanyang Alliance, Lanwa State, Po Sa State.

In an inconspicuous, deep mountain.

A strange ripple suddenly appeared in the air, as if the space had been torn apart by an invisible hand.

A crack slowly appeared.

It is less than ten meters long, and its edges shimmer with a ghostly blue light.

A small grotto.

The appearance of the cracks was quite noticeable and was quickly detected by a nearby monitoring station.

"Report! A new crater-like fissure has been discovered in the mountainous region of Padang! Preliminary assessment indicates it is small!"

The monitor's voice was transmitted to his superiors via a communication loop.

The message was relayed along the way.

They eventually arrived at the military command post of the Nanyang Alliance stationed in Po Sa State.

In the command center.

A middle-aged man is looking at a map.

Rahman, the highest military commander of the Nanyang Alliance stationed in Borneo, possesses the cultivation level of a peak Martial Emperor.

He frowned upon hearing the news and casually glanced at the monitoring screen.

The crack was less than ten meters long and the aura it emitted was not strong.

Based on past experience, the strongest alien race within a small celestial rift is only at the fifth level, equivalent to a Grandmaster.

Even if there are more powerful alien races inside, they cannot get out.

"It's just a small cave, don't worry about it too much."

Rahman put down his teacup, speaking casually.

"Just send a standard warrior legion to handle it."

"Sir, who should we send to lead the team?" the adjutant asked.

"Let Hassan go; he happens to be nearby."

"yes!"

......

An hour later.

In the mountainous region of Po Sa State, in front of the Tianku Crack.

A thousand-strong warrior legion has been assembled, fully armed, and their imposing presence is not to be underestimated.

The leader of the group was a burly middle-aged man named Hassan, who was at the peak of the Martial King realm.

Hassan stood in front of the crack, his gaze sweeping over the less than ten-meter-long fissure, a relaxed smile playing on his lips.

"A small cave, not bad luck."

He had already begun to make plans in his mind.

If these small caverns can be cleaned up, there is a high probability that they can be turned into controllable secret resource points.

At that time, the military will be able to make a lot of extra money just by selling the entry slots.

"All troops, prepare!"

Hassan waved his hand, his voice booming.

"Once the alien race emerges, kill them immediately! Don't let a single one escape!"

"yes!"

The thousand-strong army responded in unison, their morale soaring.

Just then.

The first alien race emerged from the crack.

Several strange beasts, the size of oxen and covered in black scales, rushed out, their auras ranging from the third to the fourth rank.

"kill!"

At Hassan's command, the thousand-strong army immediately charged forward.

Swords flashed and spiritual energy burst forth.

These low-level alien races were no match for the well-trained warrior legion.

One after another they fell, their blood staining the ground red.

Hassan didn't even make a move; he simply stood in the back watching, occasionally nodding.

"Not bad, the teamwork is much better than last month."

He was satisfied.

At this rate, the surging alien races can be cleared out in a maximum of two hours.

Then you can send people in to explore.

however.

What Hassan didn't know was...

Deep within the crevice, a pair of eerie green eyes silently watched all of this.

......

Inside the Heavenly Cave.

This was a gray, gloomy space, filled with the smell of decay.

A figure hovered in mid-air at the edge of the crack.

It was a humanoid alien race.

It has a slender build, grayish-white skin, almost no muscle, and looks extremely thin.

Its head is very large, completely disproportionate to its body.

Her pair of deep green eyes were so dark they looked like two bottomless pits, making anyone who looked at them feel dizzy.

Its limbs are slender, and its fingers are like withered branches, but the fingertips glow with a faint luminescence.

His entire body looked so fragile that a gust of wind could blow him over, but the light in his eyes sent chills down one's spine.

Mind-stealing demon.

A race renowned for its spiritual power in the ruins of countless worlds.

Their physical defenses are extremely weak, but their mental strength is terrifyingly powerful.

This Mind Flayer's cultivation level is "mid-stage of the ninth rank".

It looked at the human warriors outside the crack who were slaughtering low-level alien races, and a strange smile appeared on its lips.

"They've taken the bait..."

Its voice was hoarse and low, as if it were talking to itself.

It and the king paid a huge price to open this rift.

The suppression from the will of Blue Star is too strong.

They could only carefully tear out a small crack that could easily expand to "fish".

Furthermore, the other ninth-tier clansmen and kings besides him paid a heavy price and have retreated to the depths to recuperate, entrusting him with the task of controlling the Blue Star human race.

It seems to be working well.

The humans outside the rift clearly didn't take it seriously; the highest-ranking fighter they sent was only a peak Martial King.

"madness."

The Mind Flayer chuckled softly, its eerie green eyes beginning to glow.

Its spiritual power, like invisible tentacles, silently surged outwards through the cracks in the celestial cave.

......

Outside the crack.

Hassan was watching the battle from a high vantage point when suddenly his body stiffened.

An invisible force entered his mind.

The power was cold and viscous, like a venomous snake slithering through his consciousness.

He wanted to shout but couldn't open his mouth; he wanted to move but his body wouldn't obey him!

They couldn't even resist.

That power was too strong, so strong that his mental strength was like paper in front of it!

Just two seconds.

Hassan's eyes glazed over for a moment, then returned to normal.

But a strange, eerie green light appeared deep in the depths of his eyes.

at the same time.

The thousand-strong warrior legion below also froze.

Then restore.

The whole process took less than three seconds.

No one noticed anything unusual.

On the battlefield, the warriors continued to kill the low-level alien races that were pouring out, their actions exactly the same as before.

But their eyes had changed.

......

Inside the Heavenly Cave.

The Mind Flayer withdrew its mental energy, closed its eyes, and processed the memories it had read from Hassan's mind.

Nanyang Alliance, Lanwa Kingdom, Great Xia Kingdom, Chen Yuan...

It opened its eyes.

A hint of apprehension flashed in his dark green pupils.

"Those useless fools from the Land of Shadows have indeed failed."

It muttered to itself, its tone tinged with sarcasm.

"But it's all for the best. Their actions alerted us, allowing us to see the true strength of Earth."

It paused, then smiled again.

"That human named Chen Yuan is indeed strong. He can even kill a half-step tenth-level Icefield Profound Dragon... Unfortunately, his attention is entirely focused on the Great Xia Kingdom, and he has no time to care about anything else."

"And we'll take advantage of this opportunity..."

The Mind Flayer's gaze pierced through the cracks, looking into the distance.

"First, take down the Lanwa Kingdom, which only has two early-stage Martial Saints, and then take down the Nanyang Alliance."

It is very confident in its plan.

The Lanwa Kingdom only has two early-stage Martial Saints, and they are currently overwhelmed by the Tianku Uprising.

While controlling an early-stage Martial Saint might be difficult for it given its mental strength, it's not impossible with the assistance of other ninth-tier members of its race.

Once Lanwa is controlled, and the high-ranking officials of the Nanyang Alliance are taken over, the entire force will become its puppet.

Then it slowly seeps outwards...

As for the Great Xia Kingdom?

A hint of apprehension flashed in the Mind Flayer's eyes.

It's best not to provoke that human named Chen Yuan for now.

But he probably won't make a move as long as he doesn't touch the Great Xia Kingdom.

After all, those major powers have always been "minding their own business".

"Let's get started."

The Mind Flayer's voice echoed in the hazy space.

It raised its withered, twig-like fingers and pointed them out of the crack.

An invisible wave of mental energy emanated and landed precisely in Hassan's mind.

Hassan's body trembled slightly, then returned to normal.

He turned around and said to his adjutant behind him, "The alien races here have been mostly cleared out. I'll go back and report to Commander Rahman."

"Yes!" The adjutant, who was also under control, had no suspicions.

Hassan turned and left, a fleeting glint of eerie green light in his eyes.

His target was Rahman, the highest-ranking military officer of the Nanyang Alliance stationed in Basa.

By controlling Rahman, one can control the entire garrison in Posa state.

Once the garrison is under control, they can continue to infiltrate upwards, layer by layer, until they take over the entire Nanyang Alliance.

Inside the Heavenly Cave.

The Mind Flayer closed his eyes, his smile growing ever deeper.
