High Martial Arts Era 359
by admin## Chapter 359: Planetary Crisis! The Battle Begins!
Yun Jing Star Realm, a vast expanse of starry space, boasted a diameter exceeding four thousand kilometers. Its environment was harsh, plagued by frequent natural disasters, making the proliferation of life considerably more difficult.
Despite these challenges, the Wan Mo civilization had held dominion over Yun Jing Star Realm for eons, maintaining a population of billions across the entire realm.
This celestial upheaval immediately caught the attention of the two demigods stationed within Yun Jing Star Realm. They promptly dispatched their subordinates to confirm the emergence of a third-level channel.
“A new third-level channel?”
“Connecting to the Seven Star civilization?”
“Quickly! Report to the East Demon God.” The two demigods made their decision instantly: “This could be an opportunity for us.”
As demigods, they reigned supreme over Yun Jing Star Realm, their pronouncements dictating every aspect of the realm’s affairs, allowing them to live a carefree existence.
Yet, confined within this small realm for so long, a yearning lingered in their hearts – ascension to godhood.
Once they achieved divinity, they could transcend the limitations of the star realm, traversing the celestial realms freely, truly attaining carefree existence.
Within the main hall of the realm’s main city.
Buzz~ Countless rays of light converged, forming a illusion radiating potent energy.
“God.”
“Greetings, God.” The two demigods bowed respectfully.
“Tasi, Florence.” The East Demon God regarded the two demigods: “I have reviewed your reports. You have done well, your control over the realm is absolute, and you were the first to discover this star realm channel.”
“God, this is our duty.” Tasi, the demigod in purple robes, said humbly: “Our Wan Mo civilization has ruled this realm for millennia, our surveillance network is pervasive, reaching every corner of the star realm. Being the first to discover it is only natural.”
“The Seven Star civilization only truly rose to prominence in the past hundred years. Their primary focus is on Feixing, Tianhai, and Lanxing… they pay little attention to Lan Tie.” Tasi stated: “At least for now, I have ordered over ten Heavenly Flight warriors to the vicinity of the star realm channel, and no signs of Seven Star civilization’s strong warriors have been detected.”
“Currently, it seems the Seven Star civilization hasn’t noticed the emergence of this star realm channel.”
“Hmm, the Seven Star civilization has yet to produce a god, they haven’t merged with the realm’s essence. Their various monitoring systems are indeed weaker.” The East Demon God nodded slightly: “But this is their planet after all. They are bound to discover it eventually.”
“Therefore, we must act quickly.”
Tasi and Florence listened respectfully.
“Our Wan Mo civilization desires complete conquest of the Seven Star civilization. On one hand, we must eliminate their peak powerhouses.” The East Demon God gazed at the two demigods: “On the other, we must continually weaken their potential, severing their roots.”
“This presents an opportunity to completely obliterate Lan Tie.”
The two demigods were shocked.
Annihilate an entire planet?
“God.” Florence, clad in white, couldn’t help but ask: “Lan Tie may be overlooked within the Seven Star civilization, but it is also protected by a demigod… this is merely a third-level channel, allowing only Heavenly Flight warriors to pass. How can we destroy an entire planet?”
Within the entirety of the Wan Mo civilization, no Heavenly Flight warrior could match the power of a demigod. Even those approaching demigod strength were few and far between.
In essence.
With a demigod guarding a planet, even with numerous Heavenly Flight warriors attacking, they could only cause some damage, incapable of affecting the overall situation.
They, initially, only planned to send more Heavenly Flight warriors to infiltrate the Seven Star civilization.
“I will dispatch three Heavenly Flight Sons from the Wan Mo Temple.” The East Demon God declared directly: “I have already begun the urgent summons and mobilization.”
Heavenly Flight Sons?
Both demigods were startled.
Every normal civilization possesses a system for selecting its talented individuals. The Wan Mo civilization was no exception… as a powerful civilization with a long and rich history, spanning dozens of life planets, combined with the common cultivation methods developed over the years, capable of covering most sentient beings… this resulted in an astonishing number of second and third-tier powerhouses within the Wan Mo civilization.
They outnumbered the Seven Star civilization by a factor of ten.
The number of demigod strongmen was also ten times greater than in the Seven Star civilization… despite the sheer number of strong warriors, their top talents were far inferior to those of Fang Hai and Li Yuan.
However, the number of secondary talents was immense.
The so-called Heavenly Flight Sons represented individuals whose comprehension of the True Intent had reached demigod level, or had even stepped into the realm of the laws.
They stood at the apex of the Heavenly Flight warriors within the Wan Mo civilization, signifying that they were on the verge of breaking through to demigod status.
The reason they didn’t breakthrough often stemmed from their pursuit of awakening stronger star veins, building a more robust foundation.
“These three Heavenly Flight Sons, upon reaching Lan Tie, will immediately attempt to breakthrough.” The East Demon God declared solemnly.
The two demigods nodded, marveling at the East Demon God’s resolute determination.
Persuading Heavenly Flight warriors of this caliber to venture into the Seven Star civilization and risk their lives was incredibly difficult.
Indeed.
In the eyes of Tasi and Florence, this was suicide… even if they could deliver a devastating blow to the Seven Star civilization in the short term, the future remained shrouded in uncertainty.
“Furthermore, I will also summon a large number of Heavenly Flight warriors to quickly follow through the star realm channel.” The East Demon God looked at the two: “But all this requires time, so I need you to mobilize your subordinates and send over 200 Heavenly Flight warriors to infiltrate Lan Tie, gather intelligence, and prepare for an all-out war.”
200 Heavenly Flight warriors?
The two demigods were shocked. How many Heavenly Flight warriors existed within the entire Yun Jing Star Realm?
It must be remembered, life born within a star realm possessed a lower potential compared to life on planets, and the number of Heavenly Flight warriors emerging was far less… moreover, most Heavenly Flight warriors would leave the star realm to reside and train on the planets within the Wan Mo civilization.
“Tasi, Florence, you will be rewarded with merits.” The East Demon God said in a low voice: “In the future, if we conquer the Seven Star civilization and obtain the treasures from the Burial of Immortals Ancient Domain… your chances of achieving godhood will increase significantly.”
For these star realm demigods, direct threats or commands from the East Demon God were ineffective. He relied mainly on enticements.
After some deliberation, the two demigods agreed: “We obey your orders, God.”
Swiftly.
The war machine of Yun Jing Star Realm, dormant for so long, began to mobilize rapidly.
……
Wan Mo civilization, Wan Mo Star.
Within a peculiar world shrouded in perpetual darkness.
Inside a grand temple.
“Pu Yang, Suhar, Sang Qiu.” The illusion of the East Demon God, towering over the three figures before him, spoke slowly: “I have already informed you of the situation and the requirements.”
“The entire civilization expects you to contribute. Destroy the ‘Lan Tie’ of the Seven Star civilization.” The East Demon God commanded: “If you agree, I will bestow upon you numerous treasures and artifacts.”
“God.”
“Does the demigod of Lan Tie lack a peak demigod presence?” Pu Yang, the bald-headed giant, inquired in a deep voice: “If they have a peak demigod, even if we breakthrough to demigod status and wield artifacts, we wouldn’t have a single chance of winning.”
“Relax.”
“How long has the Seven Star civilization been rising?” The East Demon God smiled slightly: “Their entire civilization has less than a hundred demigods, most of whom have only been cultivating for a century… peak demigod strongmen wouldn’t exceed ten.”
“Lan Tie is the least valued planet, the probability of a peak demigod protecting it is almost nil.” The East Demon God reassured them.
The three Heavenly Flight Sons finally felt a slight sense of reassurance, yet anxieties remained.
“The Seven Star civilization has yet to produce a true god, and the planet channel isn’t fully open. So, only Heavenly Flight warriors can quickly pass through the planet channel. Those powerful demigods… to come here they must traverse planets. Even with powerful warships, it would take a long time.” The East Demon God explained: “Previously, the Seven Star civilization had a Fang Hai. He was just a Heavenly Flight warrior back then, and he could arrive quickly. You definitely wouldn’t be his match, but now he has broken through to demigod status, and he did so on Feixing.”
“Currently, the Seven Star civilization lacks any truly strong Heavenly Flight warriors.” The East Demon God assured them.
“What about Li Yuan?” Sang Qiu, the woman, couldn’t help but ask: “Rumor has it that he has become a Heavenly Flight warrior.”
“Even if he has become a Heavenly Flight warrior, it hasn’t been long since he fought in the Second-Level Star Realm. His Source Power likely hasn’t reached its peak.” The East Demon God shook his head: “Even if his comprehension of Heaven and Earth progresses rapidly, in such a short period, he probably hasn’t even reached the law level.”
“As long as you become demigods, he will not be your opponent.” The East Demon God declared.
The three Heavenly Flight Sons nodded in agreement.
Li Yuan’s talent was indeed monstrous, but he was too young. Even if he had broken through, his strength might not have reached the demigod level yet.
“Finish it swiftly, slaughter the entire planet.”
“Once you achieve your goal.”
“Leave Lan Tie immediately, fly into the outer reaches of space. It won’t be difficult to either roam the stars or hide on some desolate planet.” The East Demon God said.
The three Heavenly Flight Sons listened attentively.
Demigods, with their immense power, could traverse space with their bare bodies. Living alone in the stars was effortless.
However, it was incredibly lonely.
“When our Wan Mo civilization conquers the Seven Star civilization, you can return.” The East Demon God looked down at the three: “The entire civilization will remember your contributions and will definitely treat your families and friends well.”
This was an enticement followed by intimidation.
“We obey your orders, God.”
“We will do our utmost, slaughtering the entire planet.” Pu Yang and the other three Heavenly Flight Sons bowed their heads in complete submission.
Without delay.
They took the treasures bestowed by the East Demon God and departed from Wan Mo Star, heading towards Yun Jing Star Realm.
Inside the Wan Mo Temple.
“It won’t be difficult for the three Heavenly Flight Sons to achieve demigodhood.” The East Demon God thought to himself: “Over three thousand Heavenly Flight warriors… under such life-or-death pressure, perhaps a few more demigods will emerge.”
“We should be able to destroy Lan Tie.”
Since the battle of Feixing a century ago, the East Demon God had abandoned any hope of obliterating the entire Seven Star civilization in one battle… He could only hope to continually weaken the Seven Star civilization’s potential, slowing down their rate of rise.
“The entire Seven Star civilization has only seven planets.”
“Wiping out all life on Lan Tie might allow it to recover eventually… but at least it will take decades, or even longer.” The East Demon God thought to himself.
Time flowed.
The mobilization of a large number of Heavenly Flight warriors within the Wan Mo civilization naturally caught the attention of numerous alien civilization spies… but only a select few strong individuals were truly aware of the emergence of a new star realm channel within Yun Jing Star Realm.
For instance, some Heavenly Flight warriors and the two demigods within Yun Jing Star Realm, and the three Heavenly Flight Sons.
The rest? They knew very little.
Even most of the summoned Heavenly Flight warriors only knew that they were going into battle, but they didn’t know the specific target, destination, or any other details for the time being.
Therefore, although the Seven Star civilization’s intelligence network received news of the Wan Mo civilization’s strongmen mobilization, it didn’t immediately raise any red flags.
……
Days later.
Feixing, Wushen Star Realm, within Li Yuan’s palace, a smart robot was brewing tea.
Li Yuan was hosting a banquet for his friends.
“Brother Jin, congratulations on becoming a member of the Seven Star Mountain.” Li Yuan smiled: “I was in closed cultivation and couldn’t congratulate you immediately.”
“Your cultivation is important, it’s fine.”
“Besides, congratulations are for others, don’t make fun of me.” Jin Hu Guo shook his head and laughed: “Don’t even compare me to you, even compared to the others like Ailixia, I am far inferior.”
“This isn’t the Brother Jin I know.” Li Yuan laughed: “Why bother with others, just walk your own path.”
Jin Hu Guo, this year 28, had achieved five-segment perfection in his skills, becoming a member of the Seven Star Mountain. This was already quite impressive, exceeding the average level of Wushen Temple members.
Remember, Jin Hu Guo’s talent and potential were considered average when he first entered the Wushen Temple.
One could imagine that Jin Hu Guo had been diligently cultivating all these years.
Soon.
After seeing Jin Hu Guo off, Li Yuan continued to sit alone, sipping tea. He seemed to be relaxing, but secretly he was constantly observing the ‘Starry Sky Ten Thousand Phenomena Chart,’ contemplating the profound workings within.
Even with his True Intent comprehension reaching six-segment perfection, Li Yuan still felt a deep sense of mystery in the Starry Sky Ten Thousand Phenomena Chart.
The creator of this chart was far beyond Li Yuan in terms of realm.
“Crossing the threshold into the realm of the laws is truly difficult.” Li Yuan thought to himself: “In the past year since becoming a Heavenly Flight warrior, my progress in both Wind and Earth True Intent has surpassed my combined progress from the past few years… yet neither has reached the law level.”
Of course.
Currently, Li Yuan had achieved six-segment perfection in both Wind and Earth True Intent, and both were nearing their respective limits… the power of their fusion had significantly enhanced his gun technique compared to a year ago.
“Once Earth True Intent transforms into the law level, I believe I have a good chance of comprehending the second or third moves of the ‘Boundary Cloud Spear’.” Li Yuan pondered.
The ‘Boundary Cloud Spear’, a true god’s ultimate technique, had nine moves in total. Each move’s power would see a substantial increase.
Suddenly.
“Buzz~” The smart ring on his wrist vibrated intensely, Li Yuan’s expression shifted.
An emergency? Li Yuan activated it with a thought.
Whoosh~
Light converged, quickly forming a miniature projection. A figure in black robes appeared within.
“Principal?” Li Yuan asked, recognizing the caller as Fang Hai.
“Li Yuan, Lan Tie is facing a planetary crisis.” Fang Hai’s expression was grave: “The situation is dire, and your help is needed.”
“Planetary crisis?” Li Yuan was taken aback.
A planetary crisis, by definition, represented a threat capable of endangering the planet’s very existence.
What could it be?
“Go there immediately, with Duan Mu Hong, and head to the entrance of the sixth star realm.” Fang Hai instructed in a low voice: “I will send you the details shortly.”
“There’s one thing you need to be aware of, try to conceal your aura, make everyone believe you just recently broke through to Heavenly Flight… it’s crucial.”
“Understood.” Li Yuan’s heart skipped a beat.
With a thought, Li Yuan, carrying the Ancient Divine Palace and Heaven Serpent Hall, two subworld artifacts, flew out of the palace.
……
He arrived in the sky above the Seven Star Mountain.
Several Heavenly Flight warriors awaited him, Duan Mu Hong, dressed in white, leading the group.
Besides him, there were several other Heavenly Flight warriors, all peak Heavenly Flight warriors stationed within the Wushen Star Realm.
“Duan Mu.”
“Li Yuan, you’re here?” Duan Mu Hong nodded: “Congratulations, you’ve finally broken through to Heavenly Flight. Are you going to join the battle?”
Apparently, Duan Mu Hong had received the message, and they were going to ‘act’ together.
“Hmm, I just broke through recently.” Li Yuan nodded: “With this planetary crisis, I have no other duties, I naturally should participate.”
“Li Yuan has become a Heavenly Flight warrior?”
“Li Yuan has become a Heavenly Flight warrior?”
“Congratulations.” The other peak Heavenly Flight warriors spoke one after another. Although surprised, they weren’t too shocked.
In their opinion, Li Yuan’s strength and realm made breaking through reasonable.
“I sense Li Yuan’s aura, it should be at level 33.” A man in gold armor was quite excited: “Before breaking through, Li Yuan already had the strength of a Star Lord. Now his strength is probably close to that of a demigod… he will definitely be a great help.”
“We are all contributing what we can.” Li Yuan stated.
“Let’s go.” Duan Mu Hong said: “We can chat along the way.”
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! A group of Heavenly Flight warriors transformed into streaks of light, quickly rushing towards the entrance of the star realm.
