Chapter 575: 0365 All Nations at War (4k for monthly ticket and subscription)_2

The Black Queen felt regretful in her heart; if Wajit hadn’t reached Breakthrough Third, with her strength, she had a chance to take first place on the Mystic List.

But Martial Arts Cultivation requires bold advancement; when it’s time to break through, one must do so, and not lose the greater for the lesser due to a competition.

Wajit’s goal is the Absolute Peak, a higher realm!

...

Dragon Transformation Ancient Road.

Ba Quan·Du Meng concluded his long cultivation.

Unknowingly, he had become accustomed to moving freely in an area with a thousandfold gravity.

"It’s a pity, if Lu doesn’t reach Breakthrough Third, he should easily take first place on the Mystic List... In the Earth List where experts gather, it’s as hard as reaching the heavens to secure a ranking."

Although Lu is a generation younger, Du Meng already regards him as a potential rival, eagerly anticipating the day he advances to Grandmaster.

Aside from this, among the other geniuses, only Zhen Ding of the same generation can catch his attention.

As powerful as he is, he feels unbearably lonely.

...

Seven days passed in the blink of an eye.

Su City Dragon Martial.

Old Ji took a sip of tea, waiting for the arrival of midnight on August 8th.

Beside him, Ji Feiyan and Shi Ruyu were both in full readiness.

"Where is Chenzhou? Still in seclusion?"

"Yes, junior brother is researching the technique of weaving the [Cloud Mist Clothes]."

"Alright, it seems he will start a bit later."

Suddenly, everyone’s Sky Battle Tokens burst into light.

Old Ji couldn’t wait to randomly select opponents; the portal gradually solidified, and he flashed into it, disappearing from the practice room.

"Hahaha, I’ll be the first to strike good fortune!"

Shi Ruyu smiled slightly: "Master seems very excited."

Qingtian Cang said lightly: "After all, he has been at the Martial Artist realm for so long... it’s a rare chance to be impressive."

...

Infinite beauty lies in danger.

White clouds drift by, immortal cranes soar.

Old Ji radiated the aura of the End Realm, the Wave Heart Sword unsheathed, his form moved like a flying swallow, slashing through the void with one blade.

In front of him, a samurai from Cherry Blossom Island was sent flying in an instant, powerless to resist.

Facing Old Ji, who had dwelled in the Breakthrough First realm for decades and reached the limit of Qi-Blood, he stood no chance.

"I concede."

In the next moment, the samurai and Old Ji vanished from the Life and Death Platform.

And such competitions were unfolding in many places within the Battle Realm, with only the settings varying.

There were bamboo seas, isolated islands, ancient battlefields, heavenly palaces...

[Battle victory, earned 1 point]

[Heavenly Battle 666666 Star·Ji Xuantong, temporarily ranked first.]

...

"Hahaha, satisfying!"

After Old Ji came out, he couldn’t help but laugh.

At least at that moment, his name appeared in the first place among hundreds of thousands of martial artists!

At the same time, Ji Feiyan also finished her match, grumbling: "I actually ran into Wang Hongdao!"

Old Ji laughed and said: "Do you know why I haven’t reached Breakthrough Second? With my End Realm cultivation paired with a Divine Weapon, I am sweeping across the Yellow List!"

Qingtian Cang remarked indifferently: "It’s as if you will reach Breakthrough Second in a year."

...

On this day, August 8th.

The All Nations Martial Arts Tournament officially began.

To not disrupt the normal social order, the points match can only be held once a day, so the gap cannot be widened in the early stages.

Only after the points accumulate significantly can the rankings spread apart.

As time passed to the 30th day of the tournament, all four major lists saw the emergence of individuals with thirty consecutive victories.

Sky Suppressing Mystic Whale, Kunlun Ye Dongcheng, Demon Capital Heart-stabilizing Sword, Dragon King Jing Longwang·Wu Sheng... these Heavenly Ranking Grandmasters from ten or twenty years ago have already accumulated their strength to the peak of the Grandmaster level, almost reaching the Great Grandmaster level. Thus they still lead. Relatively speaking, the competition on the Heavenly List is not fierce; the structure has not changed much since before. Firstly, there are very few Grandmasters, and secondly, after reaching the Grandmaster level, it is too difficult to advance. Many have honed their skills here for a century, and the next session might still feature them.

Among the Grandmasters, what’s most abundant are those old monsters who have lived for one or two hundred years, each possessing a few unique skills.

The Earth List situation is similar. Currently, the three who directly advanced to the top hundred as Masters all have End Realm cultivation, have reached the Qi-Blood limit, and are veteran Masters trapped by acupoints, often aged between 60-100, invariably possessing [Heaven-reaching Immortal Armor], making them virtually invincible innately, pushing ahead without hindrance. The difference is, Masters cannot maintain their Qi-Blood peak like Grandmasters can, so those older than 100 often face a gradual decline in Qi-Blood, and the adage still holds true: a strong young person is feared.

The competition for the Mystic List and Yellow List gets intense, changing every ten years. Those with thirty consecutive wins are all Martial Arts geniuses similar in age to Lu Chenzhou, like Bai Miaomiao, Li Guyi, and Yue Xiping. They fall a bit short of Breakthrough Third, but because of a blessing in disguise, they rely on being unbeatable below Breakthrough Second with Intermediate Divine Weapons, smoothly advancing.

The ones struggling the most are people like "One Blade, One Monk, Two Daoists, and Two Lus."

Initially, they were undisputedly in the top ten on the Mystic List, but after entering the Earth List, their advantage vanished.

Ordinary Middle Realm fighters are manageable, as they can still fight due to their Divine Weapons, Genius-level Combat Talent, and Martial Arts skills, making overturning the odds possible.

But starting from the End Realm, the situation takes a sudden turn.

The Qi-Blood lower limit of the End Realm is 1200 points, and many people have even manifested the [Nine Mountains Mysterious Robe].

Even someone as strong as Hong Tianxiang, with both inner and outer cultivation, has a win-loss rate that is only fifty-fifty in his encounters thus far.

As for the End Realm, there’s no need to mention it: 2000 points of Qi-Blood, four times that of the Initial Realm, represents absolute physical superiority, leaving no room for comparison.

If they have [Heaven-reaching Immortal Armor], it basically means that the moment it is revealed, the match is over.

To overcome this and achieve a reversal, one would probably need a Top Class Divine Weapon, yet such an item is challenging for Masters to wield, and it’s also forbidden in the competition.

On the 31st day of the tournament, everyone noticed something unusual.

They looked at the rankings of the Earth List, and the last name displayed was: [Lu Chenzhou: 0 points]

"Could it be that Lu Chenzhou is in seclusion? There’s been no combat projection of him."

"That’s likely, otherwise he wouldn’t have zero points. With his strength, defeating Middle Realm Masters shouldn’t be an issue."

"Another possibility is that he just has bad luck, facing End Realm and Master Realm opponents 30 times in a row."

"These young Master geniuses, won’t they all fall before entering the top 100?"

"There’s a massive disparity among the Masters, the further it goes, the tougher the cross-realm battles become."

"The competition lasts a year; if these geniuses can advance to the Middle Realm, there’s still hope."

"It’s difficult; breaking through a small realm within a year at the Master level... perhaps only the Dragon King can do that?"

...

Su City Dragon Martial.

Practice Room.

Lu Chenzhou focused intensely on weaving the last True Gang silk thread into a stable structure. The moment when the yarn clothing formed, the 290 acupoint Heavenly Stars within his body resonated, projecting star beams onto the surface of the Cloud Mist Clothes. In the Qi Sea, a faint, illusory yarn clothing formed, with True Gang power surrounding it, cascading like the primordial breath of all things.

"Hoo, finally done."

With a thought, the yarn clothing extended in the wind, overlapping with his veins and vessels like the blood circulatory system of a human, finally manifesting in his 36,000 pores. A slight and thin yarn clothing emerged, covering him entirely, moving without a wind, with each silk thread entwined with True Gang as fine as cow hair, forming a peculiar force field.

He embarked on a combat journey.

In Hengduan Mountain, the Mantis Demon slashed with its blade for the 377th time!

The terrifying blade light was intercepted by the invisible force field before it could reach the yarn clothing, as if caught in a quagmire.

Lu Chenzhou pressed a palm onto the Mantis Demon’s twin blades, and with a muscle tremor, an overwhelming force crushed them.

"Too weak, can’t test the limit of the yarn clothing."

After a short rest, he entered the battle journey with Yagyu Ichiro.

At the cliff’s edge, Yagyu Ichiro sprinted forward, slashing with a blade!

Lu Chenzhou, wearing the Yaksha Sea Flipping Armor, crossed his arms in front of him to block. A crimson streak at a thousand Cauldron Level struck the Cloud Mist Clothes, exploding with a roar.

The yarn clothing shattered, dispersing into invisibility, dissipating a third of the force.

The remaining seven parts engulfed him, the armor shuddered violently, black scales sparked, and the Cold Silkworm Robe made a fluttering sound.

He flew across the sky, his expression calm: "The bones were shattered in 27 places all over the body, organs damaged and torn, heavy bleeding... still alright, at least I won’t die."

He was just worried about being instantly killed by some End Realm Master during a match, without even having the chance to admit defeat.

Now, with the protective yarn clothing, that’s no longer a concern.

Next, let’s see where his limit lies.
