Chapter 349: 0231 Absolute Peak Battle (4k asking for double monthly tickets)_2

The thirteen Absolute Peak Martial Artists are incredibly powerful.

However, within the circle of top-level fighters, it is commonly believed that Wanshixian and Cangtian Dragon King are the most likely to lead the trend and open the Eighth Realm. The former was the earliest to achieve Breakthrough Seven, possessing unmatched talent, and the latter achieved Breakthrough Seven the fastest, standing at the pinnacle for a century with unrivaled innate talent from past to present.

These two individuals are humanity’s hope against the Forbidden Zones.

...

Deep in the Void Realm...

Here, the sky grew darker, and within the roaring clouds like a black sea, terrifying apparitions occasionally appeared—either in the form of giant eyes resembling the sun and moon or as persistent eerie laughter or as towering shadows stumbling through the darkness.

Great terror, great darkness, great oppression!

In the Nameless Forbidden Zone, that the Martial Arts Absolute Peak had yet to explore, a small face the size of a palm had fallen through, stumbling and breaking through an invisible barrier, entering it.

Upon closer inspection, it was none other than the Moonlight Bodhisattva.

But now, its presence was no different from ordinary Void Things.

The Moonlight Bodhisattva trembled and spoke in some language:

"My lord, I... I have failed."

Before it, stood a presence with an unclear shape, hidden behind the fog.

"The mother has come to know... however, you should not have returned."

As the words ended, the mist dispersed, revealing a super-giant face taller than Mount Tai, its heart hanging like a mountainous bag, with a heartbeat that shook heaven and earth.

"Why..."

"It’s because you are possessed without your knowledge, you are but the presumptuous heavenly ghost."

The super-giant face exhaled a breath that scattered the Moonlight Bodhisattva, simultaneously, a loud, resonant dragon’s roar echoed through the Forbidden Zone, golden light fell, forming a tall figure standing with hands behind his back, his long hair similar to a dragon’s mane, a silhouette.

His muscles were so perfect.

His heroic presence could no longer be described in mundane terms, like that of a Yaochi Immortal’s beauty; standing there, he was the dragon, he was the world!

The super-giant face sneered:

"Tsk, tsk, is this the strongest human?"

Cangtian Dragon King shook his head, denying:

"He’s only currently the World’s Number One, he doesn’t deserve the title of the strongest human... Never mind, explaining this to you ghosts is futile; you wouldn’t understand."

The Dragon King’s form turned into a streak of blue light entering the sky, the rising greenish-blue clouds covered the dark sky, wind howled, and thunder roared. The Dragon King’s right fist opened the heavens, transforming into a greenish-blue Divine Dragon, its ultimate physical form and spirit manifested as a Dragon Claw!

stars shone in the dark sky, illuminating the Forbidden Zone. Heavenly stars connected, trembling with a buzzing sound, the mysterious power within the human body secret cache poured down like a galaxy.

From afar...

A column of light descended from the sky, colliding with the super-giant face.

It seemed like... Hou Yi shooting the sun.

After the strike, the Divine Dragon’s form dissipated.

The super-giant face was penetrated, its form growing fainter.

It shrouded itself in fog, fleeing deeper into the Forbidden Zone.

"Arrogant fool! I will remember you!"

Deep in the Forbidden Zone...

The super-giant face crawled on the ground, whispering:

"Mother, we have been discovered."

Before long...

There faintly came a misty, ethereal, both holy and eerie female voice:

"No matter, the projection of the human Absolute Peak... is but this much in strength..."

In the depths of the Forbidden Zone, giggling laughter continued.

...

Star River City.

Golden Pupils opened his eyes and said:

"Go notify Wanshixian, the main base of the Heart Happiness Sect has been found. This 37th Forbidden Zone can be named the Ghost Mother Forbidden Zone. I did not see the Ghost Mother herself, and I only briefly exchanged blows with one of her Void Venerable spirits and did not kill it."

...

On the 29th night of the trials.

The rounding up of the residual Void Things was almost complete. What remained of the problems left by the Green Fire Leader earlier were few. Considering the recent upheaval in the Void Realm, which posed greater danger than the Human World, the Martial Arts Department ended the trials early and arranged vehicles to take the surviving 286 young Martial Artists away from the Oasis, back to the long-missed Human World.

All Martial Artists who died during the trials were awarded the Heroic Medal, regardless of their faults, and their descendants, even if they lacked intermediate root bone, were eligible to attend Martial Arts Schools. If there were no descendants, their direct relatives would also receive special treatment and protection.

The Trialists’ Battle Merit was still being calculated...

Given the unexpected incidents during these trials, as compensation, the Martial Arts Department, excluding the Divine Weapons and Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures which could not be mass-produced, doubled the quantity of other resources for exchange including the Swallowing Elephant Belt to facilitate more Trialists in exchanging rewards.

Su City Dragon Martial.

Lu Chenzhou returned to Villa No. 32.

Ji Xuantong said wearily:

"Rest well for a few days, don’t push yourself too hard. This period can be spent understanding and summarizing the battles over the past month, which could also yield you some gains."

Lu Chenzhou nodded:

"Understood, Master, I will do just that."

He pushed open the door and saw that his parents were safe, so he was relieved.

Having not seen Lu Chenzhou for a month, the elderly couple thought their child had gone on a business trip.

Little did they know, Lu Chenzhou had left the human world and ventured into the Otherworld.

Li Xianghua asked,

"Child, was the business trip smooth?"

Lu Chenzhou smiled faintly,

"Yes, I completed the mission perfectly."

Rounding up, he and the Cangtian Dragon King had together saved Su City!

Lu Guoping said,

"Good, it’s great that you’re back safe. I heard that Su City has been in complete chaos these past few days. There were cultists and Void Things everywhere, but thankfully the police were effective and managed to quell it."

Li Xianghua whispered,

"It seems many people died too."

Lu Chenzhou returned to his bedroom, sighing inwardly.

He had a premonition that this incident was just a spark. The days of relative peace were over, giving way to the tumultuous and unpredictable era of the Void Realm.

"The Forbidden Zone... the source of all evil."

This operation had deepened Lu Chenzhou’s understanding of the Void Realm. He hoped that one day, humanity could tranquilize the Forbidden Zone, making the Void Realm a paradise for Martial Arts.

He looked towards the Martial Arts Tree.

[Golden Body Skill: Great Success (50%)]

A golden flower bud was blossoming.

"Although I haven’t practiced for a month, being beaten up in real combat with demons has also accidentally improved my proficiency quite a bit. However, the progress can’t compare to Mr. Chen’s professional training. Hard Qigong cultivation is different from fist techniques. Martial arts like fist techniques and spear skills are best honed in real combat."

There was another reason why Hard Qigong cultivation was slow.

That was the lack of inspiration; it required persistent effort.

Inner Strength, Heavenly Pile, Hard Qigong—these are the three Grand Emperor Martial Arts.

...

Qingtian Cang Villa.

"Ha ha ha, Chenzhou has the makings of a Spear God!"

Ji Xuantong, looking at the returning Qingtian Cang, couldn’t help but laugh.

Qingtian Cang said,

"I’ve heard about it. I happened to meet an elder from the Eight Extremes Sky Spear in the military. The elder thought highly of Lu Chenzhou’s spear technique, choosing Tiger Gall was the right choice."

"That’s right, he killed a Great Void from the End Realm with a single spear."

Old Ji spoke excitedly, boasting without any reservations.

"Stop dawdling, go open your acupoint."

"Alright then."

...

Three days later, October 2.

Lu Chenzhou and Wang Hong arrived at Qingtian Cang’s residence.

Qingtian Cang looked at them and smiled,

"You both look good. This trial was worthwhile. The battle merit from the defense battle has been calculated. There might be some discrepancies from the actual situation, but it won’t be off by much.

Lu Chenzhou 2600 points! Ranked third."

Wang Hong, a bit shocked, asked,

"Chenzhou’s performance, only third?"

As Chenzhou’s teammate, he knew how exceptional Chenzhou was.

Qingtian Cang smiled,

"The first place, Yue Xiping from Hua Mountain, with End Realm Cultivation, Heavenly Sword Seed, one mastery in Lower Grade True Sword Technique, intermediate prowess in Middle Grade True Sword Technique, also possesses a Divine Weapon."

Wang Hong was stunned.

"Heavenly Sword Seed? A top-level sword Dao talent."

Qingtian Cang said,

"There’s always someone better. If it weren’t for Li Guyi getting injured and unable to participate in the last battle, it would have been difficult for Chenzhou to make it to the top three. Li Guyi also has a top-level talent in saber techniques. They are both formidable."

Lu Chenzhou nodded,

"Indeed, this trial truly was an eye-opener."

Third place didn’t discourage him. He hadn’t even considered ranking highly initially; if it weren’t for his extraordinary performance in the last defense battle, he might not have made the top ten.

At least he had enough to exchange for the Swallowing Elephant Belt now.

Wang Hong earned 1400 battle merit.

Though he couldn’t match Lu Chenzhou, he had also fought desperately.

This trial also led him to comprehend the Heavenly Heart Imprint, making the trip worthwhile.
