Connects with the Celestial Spirit above, meets the Earth Evil below.

When the Martial Saint strikes, the land within a hundred miles feels like the end of the world, a scene of celestial collapse and terrestrial rupture more shocking than any disaster movie effect by a hundredfold.

Boom boom boom boom boom~

A sky full of fist shadows, all condensed from high-energy cosmic rays, each punch capable of shaking mountains and stirring wind and thunder.

Michael is called the Divine Eagle because his formidable fist technique stands atop the Martial Dao of the Western Pole Kingdom, looking down upon all beings.

Even among Martial Saints, there are distinctions!

The essence, energy, and spirit of a Martial Artist represent the physique, energy, and mind of a person. Reaching the pinnacle in any one of these can elevate oneself to the realm from Extraordinary to Saint.

However, the Heaven-Ascending Seventh Layer is the Martial Saint, and so is the Heaven-Ascending Ninth Layer, yet the power difference between these realms is vast.

Unlike the water-level Martial Saints such as the Chuyun Three Saints and the Baekje Arrow Saint, Michael has elevated his essence, energy, and spirit to their extremes, leaving no weaknesses, making him the Ultimate Martial Saint of the Heaven-Ascending Ninth Layer Realm.

Yet in battle, Ye Qingzhou never falls behind, displaying formidable power, he is clearly also an Ultimate Martial Saint with essence, energy, and spirit at their peaks.

Xuanyuan, Dragon Abyss, Flame Emperor, Celestial Punishment, Flying Frost, the Five Great Divine Weapons blossom with brilliant light, forming a sword array behind Ye Qingzhou, spreading like a peacock's tail.

"Flame Sun Treasure Seal, Nine Dragons Divine Flame? And the Five Emperors Dragon Sword Art from Fish-into-Dragon Transformation?"

Michael's mind links with the Net of All Causes, instantly discerning the martial arts origins of Ye Qingzhou's swordsmanship, yet despite his insight, his face is full of bewilderment: "The previous Sword of Impermanence manifested from the Path of Water, but the Nine Dragons Divine Flame evolves from the Path of Fire. How can you possess two completely different mental images?"

This sort of thing has never happened before.

Even using the Net of All Causes, it can't analyze the principles of Ye Qingzhou's techniques, and in its database, Ye Qingzhou remains a complete enigma.

"Take a guess?"

Ye Qingzhou does not answer, as the Five Great Divine Weapons each display the supreme skills of Divine Weapon Emperor Wu.

Metal commands slaughter.

Wood commands metamorphosis.

Water commands mystery.

Fire commands radiance.

Earth commands centrism. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

The Innate Five Elements Qi evolves into the Dao via mental imagery, presenting a magnificent array of dazzling colors. For a moment, Sword Qi interweaves brilliantly.

What one thinks and imagines reflects the world, transforming into the myriad forms of heaven and earth; this is the Power of Mental Imagery!

Ye Qingzhou's Infinite Heart Image, being the origin of all things, naturally allows for the free transformation of three thousand paths.

With the computational support of the Net of All Causes, Michael nearly possesses a foreknowledge ability, able to predict the attacks and strategies of the enemy, keeping himself undefeated.

In countless past battles, Michael has used this trait to thwart the opponents he has encountered.

But now, he faces an opponent that not even the Net of All Causes can analyze or predict.

Facing the overwhelming sword light, Michael can only manage to parry, quickly getting injured.

"The only one who can block the Net of All Causes is the Feather Race's unique mental image 'Taiyi Wuxiang', but that scripture has long been lost, and Taiyi Wuxiang is pure emptiness that cannot harbor or manifest other Dao forces. This person's mental image is definitely peculiar!"

The more Michael fights with Ye Qingzhou, the more shocked he becomes: "Nick was right, this child must not be left!"

"Switch!"

Michael shouts and retreats; just in that brief instant, his Power of Heart Spirit has been heavily drained. Though his mental image is incomparably powerful, when fully activated, the consumption is equally astounding.

Ye Qingzhou, with a thought, turns and strikes with a sword, shattering the oncoming ray of light.

The tremendous impact triggers a violent explosion, gouging the earth below into a huge pit the size of a football field.

"Silent Arrow?"

Ye Qingzhou is, of course, well aware of the Baekje Sword Saint's reputation, and the most threatening thing isn't the various divine shooting techniques recorded in the Eastern Yi Arrow Scripture, as those divine skills can't be cultivated without sufficient conditions.

What makes Li Zaijun most feared is his Silent Arrow.

This arrow strikes silently and with unparalleled power, and unknown how many powerful beings have met their end to this insidious and treacherous archery. Had Ye Qingzhou not mastered the Heart Sword Secret Technique, with the Light of Spiritual illuminating all changes around him, it would indeed be difficult to sense the danger beforehand.

"Courting death!"

Ye Qingzhou intends to draw his sword and cut down Li Zaijun, who could pose such a hidden threat. The latter, seeing the unfavorable situation, immediately uses his unique body technique to hide in the shadows.

Meanwhile, a sudden angry shout rises: "Your opponent is me!"

Guh Xinyou, one of the Chuyun Three Saints, slashes fiercely with his Heavenly Cloud Sword. In the fierce blade light, Ye Qingzhou seems to see a giant serpent with eight heads and eight tails roaring in the raging sea waves.

Secret Sword, Direct Heart Shadow Stream, Great Snake Dance!

Guh Xinyou's cultivation, although at the Heaven-Ascending Seventh Layer Realm, has a physique honed to the extreme, to matchless strength.

Simply in terms of physical strength, he can even contend with the Divine Eagle Michael without falling behind.

At this moment, he grounds his swordsmanship on his own Direct Heart Shadow Stream technique, wielding the Divine Weapon Emperor Wu of the Heavenly Cloud Sword. This divine weapon, forged in the Dongji Kingdom, was swallowed by the Eight-Headed Great Serpent, and later obtained by Susanoo of the Three Noble Sons, forged into a divine weapon, thus possessing extraordinary divine power.

With this sword in hand, Guh Xinyou possesses combat power comparable to an Ultimate Martial Saint, raising his cultivation two levels higher, posing a real threat to himself.
