“Boom!”
With an explosion, the soil within a radius of dozens of kilometers was suddenly thrown into the sky. After it reached a peak, it fell to the ground far away.
A small number of martial arts experts had boldly come to the nearby mountains to watch the battle. At this moment, they let out countless shocked shouts and were sent flying along with the soil.
Warriors had thick skin and flesh. They had internal force to protect their bodies when they fell from a height, so they were rarely severely injured. They were mostly just in shock.
In Jiangnan province, a huge hemispherical pit had appeared. Yellow sand drifted past in the wind, and two figures were facing each other at the deepest point in the center.
The Undying Body talent and the giant bloodline combined allowed one to maximize one’s ability to survive. Wounds like broken limbs could be healed at any time.
The spiritual figure at the fusion realm had turned into a divine sword, and could easily suppress the barbarian high priest, the archangel, and others of the same level. This allowed Chen Yiming to still threaten his enemies’ lives even when he was fighting in an unfavorable environment.
With all these factors combined, even if Chen Yiming was trapped in a cage, he could still destroy everything from the inside to break out of the special sealed item.
It had to be known that from the day this special sealed item was born, no one at the fusion realm had ever walked out of its seal alive.
In fact, it was rarely used to make a move, and when it was used, it was usually aimed at multiple targets in the double digits. This time, it was only targeting Chen Yiming, which was already a sign of how highly they thought of him.
“The seal has been broken, but his aura still shows no signs of weakening.”
Zhang Cheng’s face remained expressionless as he carefully assessed the current situation.
The situation had developed to this point, and the supreme will in his body had almost given up. At this moment, it was seriously sizing up this native creature that had grown up on a desert planet.
There were those who could suppress other creatures of the same level who had reached their limits. Above them, there were those who could also fight creatures of a higher level than them.
This was the simplest and most direct way to differentiate between the amount of talent one had. No matter what type of civilization one came from, there would always be a standard. However, there was naturally still a difference between geniuses.
For example, in the martial arts civilization on the blue planet, there were three stages of the warrior realm.
When one broke through to a new level, if one’s talent could not keep up, they would quickly become mediocre. They would no longer be invincible among those of the same level and could not fight those of a higher level.
The classification of geniuses in the galaxy was the same. In different civilizations, the upper limit of talent that the geniuses could reach was different.
As for the humans on the blue planet, a civilization that could not even travel far out of the planet, they needed external help. The external help came from the fragments of the extraordinary weapons they had obtained from killing a black tide creature.
Now, a special human had been born who had actually destroyed the black tide’s plan. He had even caused a chain reaction and allowed some of them to break through the blockade.
This was completely out of the supreme will’s expectations. It was an extremely unlikely occurrence.
Judging from this special human’s performance, he could be considered a genius across the entire universe and could be on the assassination list.
“He seems to be observing me. Is there something wrong with his body?”
Chen Yiming keenly sensed that something was amiss. Zhang Cheng, who was in the distance, seemed to be unwilling to make another move.
His extremely powerful blood essence had already returned to its full state. Every time his heart beat, his aura rose steadily.
On the other hand, the other party had fallen silent. According to how it was previously, he would have already killed him like he was an ant. This was not like the normal actions of the black tide from outer space.
After familiarizing himself with his opponent’s ability to control the tornadoes, Chen Yiming decided to take the initiative to attack.
“Boom!”
Chen Yiming moved.
His powerful body caused the air to explode. It was as if a bolt of lightning had struck down from the clear sky, as if the air pressure in the physical world could not restrain him at all.
“His physique is indeed beyond imagination.”
Zhang Cheng didn’t move at all. This body didn’t have much time left. The supreme will in his body continued to evaluate Chen Yiming’s physical performance to determine what level of genius he was.
If there was concrete evidence, the next siege would not be like this one. It would only be a part of the overall operation, but an exclusive treatment would be given by the black tide.
Chen Yiming became one with his sword, transforming into a dazzling stream of light. He seemed to teleport next to Zhang Cheng and slashed at him.
The strongest form of an attack that combined one’s essence, energy, and spirit was close combat. If one was far away, a portion of one’s strength would be dispersed. Such a large-scale attack was used to bully the weak, even if one had cultivated to the level of the fusion realm.
A terrifying air current shot into the sky and shook the surroundings, warning all the people who had not retreated far enough.
“This body has already reached its limit. I have to use it sparingly.”
Facing the incoming slash, Zhang Cheng frowned. What was rare was that he raised his hand to block it, and a miniature tornado appeared in his palm.
“Crack!”
Before the divine sword could slash down, a wound appeared on Zhang Cheng’s raised arm, and a trail of black blood flowed out.
“Boom!”
In the next moment, the divine sword struck the tornado.
The tornado did not move at all, but the divine sword was broken in half. The first half of the sword fell into the tornado and was shattered by the invisible force inside.
Chen Yiming had expected this outcome and retreated with the other half of his sword.
Before he landed on the ground, the sword had already reformed. It was relying on the main body’s recovery ability, not the limited recovery ability from the Undying Mark.
“So his body really can’t take it anymore!”
After Chen Yiming landed on the ground, he took the initiative to attack again. In a flash, he appeared in front of Zhang Cheng and attacked with the same combination of essence, energy and spirit, slashing at his opponent.
“He came from a desert world and is already close to the level where he can fight those at the same level within the fusion realm. If he enters…”
As Zhang Cheng felt the strength of his previous close-range slash, he was forced to release the tornado in his palm in order to reduce the burden on his body.
He could only raise his other hand and also condense a tornado in his palm to meet the incoming divine sword.
“Boom!”
The second time, the divine sword was still broken in half. Chen Yiming retreated again, and another wound appeared on Zhang Cheng’s body. Both his arms were on the verge of collapse.
“Can’t I become stronger?”
The supreme will in Zhang Cheng’s body was a little disappointed after sensing the strength of the slash at close range for the second time, but there was still a trace of hesitation.
The human in front of him was only at the level of the inscription realm. If he also broke through to the fusion realm in the future, together with the divine sword in his hand, could he truly fight those at a higher level?
There was not enough information to prove this for the time being.
Now, he was just bullying an old and weak body.
Soon, they exchanged dozens of blows.
The terrifying aftershock was controlled by the two sides to a certain extent. The goal of the black tide was not to kill humans, so they naturally did not want a high-level battle to destroy the blue planet.
Chen Yiming kept retreating once he made contact. He only used the simplest method of combining his essence, energy, and spirit, causing Zhang Cheng’s body to be covered in bleeding wounds.
Each of these wounds was bleeding black blood. His aura had already weakened to a very low level, and he could collapse at any moment.
However, there was still a qualitative difference between the tornado condensed from his body and the attack combining essence, energy, and spirit.
The divine sword formed by the spiritual figure still broke every time it hit the tornado.
Not long after.
“Just you wait.”
After the divine sword broke in half again, Chen Yiming received a spiritual fluctuation from Zhang Cheng’s body. He was threatening him.
In the next second, a distorted vortex appeared, and Zhang Cheng’s broken body disappeared. Even the black blood that had fallen to the ground was sucked into it.
Chen Yiming stood rooted to the ground and watched quietly as the figure disappeared. He wanted to stop it, but he was worried that the spiritual figure would be sucked in.
The threat of the black tide had not decreased. Once the spiritual figure entered the other party’s territory, it would be troublesome if it could not even take the initiative to commit suicide.
It was not like there were no loopholes to exploit with the ability to revive indefinitely, especially when the strength of both sides was not on the same level and the enemy was far stronger than them.
In the face of something related to the black tide, he had to remain cautious and calm at all times. As long as he did not die, he would be able to fight his way back sooner or later.
…
The battle at the ruins of the strange mountain village had ended, and peace had returned. The area 100 kilometers around it had been completely destroyed, and broken trees and puddles could be seen everywhere.
At the same time, the mutant creatures that had gathered in the space-travel passage automatically retreated and dispersed.
News of this spread throughout the world like lightning. The humans had won the battle on both sides.
Chen Yiming had defeated the creatures controlled by the black tide, and the three human spaceships had successfully broken through and were on their way to Mars.
“I heard that most of the forces from the dark forest world were wiped out just like that?”
“Could it be that Chen Yiming broke through at the last minute? Isn’t this too unbelievable?”
“The mutant creatures have also retreated. The space plan should be fine, right?”
With the arrival of the black tide, most people thought that the space plan was doomed. However, after many twists and turns, there was a huge change.
When the news spread, many people thought that they were dreaming. Had the humans really blocked the black tide from outer space stars from making the first move?
However, the truth was right in front of them. The official announcement could not be fake, right?
“In the past, the martial arts teacher warned us that the further one goes in martial arts, the more important talent becomes. This time, I have no choice but to believe him. How many years has it taken for humanity to reach the limit of the master realm? But now…”
Some people shook their heads and sighed, feeling that the world had changed too quickly. They were only approaching middle age, but it was as if they were out of touch with the times.
“Almost every large country has a martial master, but those at the inscription realm and the fusion realm… If only we could popularize this path of cultivation,”
an old warrior from the west at the peak of the warrior realm said hopefully.
Of course, he also knew in his heart that it was a long process to improve his overall martial arts level.
For those who did not reach the threshold of talent, even if the method to break through was in front of them, they would still have to learn the details one by one. Those who could not do it would still not be able to do it.
This was especially true from the master realm onwards. What was involved was not only the human body, but also the power of nature.
The materialization of spiritual power was the key to exploring the outside world, and this hurdle stopped most experts at the peak of the warrior realm.
…
“A special sticky substance?”
Chen Yiming picked up a remnant of the special sealed item and rubbed it between his thumb and index finger a few times.
The toughness of this substance was unprecedented, and it could easily transform into any shape. He could not do anything to it with just his physical strength.
“What will happen if this sticky special substance is applied to the hull of the spaceship?”
Chen Yiming thought about it and realized the value it held for the humans.
The fragments of the extraordinary weapon were reforged into weapons again, and the sticky special substance could be added to the hull. The biggest problem that the spaceships faced now was that of its material, and it seemed to have been resolved just like that.
They could slowly develop techniques to simulate the environment, cryogenic sleep, social structure adjustments, and so on on the way to the new planet.
After all, escaping from the blockade was the most important thing.
Chen Yiming touched his pocket. He didn’t know when his phone had broken into pieces. From the corner of his eye, he saw that the lava was still shooting towards the huge mouth in space.
“If the huge mouth continues to devour the lava, the blue planet will really become a dead planet.”
Chen Yiming thought to himself that this was bad. He suppressed the thought of contacting the higher-ups immediately and tried to resolve the problem at hand first. His gaze traveled more than 10,000 kilometers and he saw that the cold current from the north and south poles had started to spread towards the equator.
The loss of a large amount of the core energy had already begun to affect the global climate.
After a few minutes, Chen Yiming rushed to the mouth of the volcano. It wasn’t too far from the Daxia Kingdom, and was located in a small country in Southeast Asia.
This small country happened to have the most volcanoes in the world. No wonder it was chosen by the terrifying creatures.
The passage to the depths of the core had been dug out. Chen Yiming rushed into the magma lake and sank all the way down. It took him some time to reach the place covered in tadpole-shaped symbols.
He released his spiritual power and grabbed it. Immediately, he removed a foundation base from the lava. The formation patterns immediately fell silent, and the pillar of lava that connected to the moon dissipated.
“Roar!”
The ball-shaped huge mouth floating in outer space roared at Chen Yiming, who was still deep in the core. A terrifying spiritual fluctuation appeared around him.
The world had just received the news of their victory when they were suddenly enveloped by an invisible pressure. The warriors were surprised to find that they could no longer control the internal force in their bodies.
In the secret chamber, a warrior who was at the point of breaking through spat out a mouthful of blood. At best, he would be severely injured, and at worst, he would die.
This was because the spiritual power was too strong. Just the fluctuations alone had affected the entire blue planet, causing severe interference for the weaker creatures.
“Uh… the blockade shouldn’t be able to attack the planet, right?”
Chen Yiming felt the anger coming from afar. It was as though he had snatched the food from the mouth of a tiger.
The lava from the core of the blue planet had caused the huge mouth on the blockade to forsake its role and focus on devouring. If not for the fact that the huge mouth’s main body had not participated in the blockade, the terrifying creatures would have long turned around and given up.
After a while, the oppressive aura dissipated. The truth was that the role of the blockade was to stop any creatures that tried to escape.
The war weapon was in charge of matters on the blue planet.
Chen Yiming let out a long sigh. The main body of the huge mouth on the blockade wasn’t some temporary power like Zhang Cheng.
Of course, it was also possible that billions of humans on the blue planet had helped him this time. After all, once an attack that exceeded the level of the fusion realm landed on the blue planet, no living creatures would be left on the surface.
If they really wanted to turn the blue planet into a dead planet, the black tide would not have gone through so much trouble. Their ultimate goal was still to harvest the negative emotions, not to kill the humans.
The oppressive aura disappeared, and Chen Yiming was able to take a look at the foundation base.
The foundation of the formation was a strange stone. It was irregular in shape, and was about three meters in length,width and height. To ordinary people, it looked like a huge rock.
The interior of the strange stone was engraved with complicated patterns and unknown words. He took a look and realized that he could not understand it at all, but he was not discouraged.
Clearly, it was the work of another civilization. Unless one understood the meaning of the words and patterns, it was very difficult to analyze it directly.
“This was refined from the core of the dark forest world. It’s of great use. Remember to keep it well.”
Suddenly, the female spirit sent over a thought.
“What exactly is this?”
Chen Yiming quickly sent back a thought. He had wanted to find out more information about the black tide from the female spirit, but he hadn’t been able to find a suitable opportunity.
As the former goddess of the dark forest world, the female spirit would definitely be targeted by the black tide. It was very likely that they had been secretly searching for traces of her. He was also afraid that she would be exposed if he interacted with her rashly.
“The functions of the different formations that can be set are different. They can be used as a weapon after gathering energy, or as the core of the planet. They can gather the energy needed for cultivation from the void in space for many years,”?the female spirit replied to Chen Yiming patiently.
“Gather energy from outer space for cultivation? This should be the original function of the core of the dark forest world, right? As for its use as a weapon, it should be a modified function.”
Chen Yiming thought to himself that this was a good thing. With this foundation base, no matter where humans went in the future, they could create an environment suitable for cultivation.
The environment for cultivation was indispensable before one had materialized spiritual power. The human martial arts civilization had developed after the appearance of the space-travel passages due to the influence of the dark forest world.
When one could use their materialized spiritual power to explore the outside world, the influence of the cultivation environment was much smaller. It was more about one’s understanding of the power of nature.
Taking advantage of the fact that the female spirit seemed to have become easier to talk to, Chen Yiming quickly asked,?“The black tide has arrived, but the first wave of the black tide should have failed, right? How long will it take for the black tide to take action again?”
After obtaining the foundation base, he was even more determined to go to the dark forest world. Therefore, he needed to know more about the black tide so that he could formulate a plan.
It would be best if he could learn about the time needed for the completed war weapon to appear from the female spirit.
“The first wave of the black tide did not fail, because there is more than just one blockade. You have to escape out of the solar system first.”
The female spirit revealed a piece of bad news.
“The solar system?”?Chen Yiming was dumbfounded.
Although he did not know what the other blockades were, from what the female spirit said, there was no doubt that the human spaceships had not really broken through the encirclement. The same could be said of the terrifying creatures.
“No wonder the supreme will ended the battle after saying some words, even though I interfered with the blockade and destroyed the special sealed item.”
Chen Yiming immediately understood. The threat of the black tide was still hanging over their heads, and it could fall at any moment.
