We made you practice martial arts, and you've mastered the Great Golden Body?

Chapter 129 The Most Deadly Form of Imagination (Hard Landing)
Meanwhile, outside...

"die!"

The first-tier undead general, with the dark blue flames in his pupils intensifying, actually spoke in human language and swung his metal greatsword with all his might, directly slashing at the boy in front of him.

It wanted to finish the job in one fell swoop and completely eliminate that boy.

"kill!"

In an instant, Shen Bailian became familiar with the rapidly increasing power. In the moment when his internal organs resonated violently, his blood was surging out like a long river, shimmering with a faint golden light.

His spiritual power poured out freely, enveloping the dragon-slaying sword. With a hum, it trembled violently, as if it were wrapped in a layer of milky white light.

In the state of God's Eye, the trajectory of the metal greatsword was clearly visible. Shen Bailian dodged the sharp blade light by turning to the side, and then swung out the Dragon Slayer sword in his hand.

At that moment, a force of up to 33 tons suddenly erupted, cutting through the white light and instantly transforming into numerous fierce and bloodthirsty blades.

Keng! Keng! Keng!
The Dragon Slayer, like a raging dragon, danced and thrashed, like deep-sea waves, its undercurrents surging, each strike stronger than the last, each wave higher than the last, its attacks growing ever more ferocious.

"How is this possible? How did Senior Brother Shen's strength suddenly become so strong?"

"Could it be that Senior Brother Shen was practicing the basic breathing technique because he was on the verge of a breakthrough and was just one step away from it?"

Something unexpected happened to all the martial artists. Shen Bailian, who was originally at a disadvantage and even on the verge of defeat, was now actually suppressing the first-tier undead general and even gained the upper hand at one point.

Bang!Bang!
A chilling blade of light burst forth, and the surrounding undead creatures were shattered and fell to the ground simply by touching the whistling wind.

"Ah~~"

The first-tier undead general roared repeatedly, its sound waves rolling outwards. The dark blue flames in its pupils flickered violently. It was not one of the lowest-ranking undead monsters; it possessed considerable intelligence and was able to assess some of the situation.

It didn't know why Shen Bailian had suddenly become so strong, but it knew that if it couldn't stop him, it would die. So it could only try its best to swing its metal greatsword to block the boy's attack.

but.

However, the first-tier undead general was completely unable to stop that terrifying blade of light. Its speed was simply too fast, as swift as lightning; its power was simply too great, like Mount Tai pressing down on him.

With each strike it managed to parry, the first-tier undead general had to take a step back. Its cleaver was already dented and battered from the continuous clashes, and its armor had been slashed with several holes.
This is not just a difference in weaponry, but also a huge gap in overall strength.

"Golden Suppression!"

After gathering his strength thirty-six times, and with the amplification from the warm current within his body during the skill upgrade, Shen Bailian's essence, energy, and spirit gradually climbed to a new peak. His fighting spirit soared to the sky, and his violent killing intent instantly enveloped the first-tier undead general.

bass!
The Dragon Slayer roared violently, and the sparse golden elemental energy of heaven and earth began to gather. The Dragon Slayer, which had been imbued with most of Shen Bailian's strength, suddenly erupted without any fancy arcs or changes.

It relied on the accumulated shockwave power, the extreme speed, the vast strength, and the gathered golden elemental energy of heaven and earth.

"Woo~~"

The first-tier undead general roared in terror. From that slash, it sensed a terrifying death intent. If it couldn't withstand it, its soul fire would likely be shattered by the pure golden elemental energy.

However, that strike was incredibly fast, like a golden ray of sunlight.

Keng!
With a flash of golden light, the metal greatsword was pierced through as easily as cutting tofu. Then, the terrifying golden light penetrated deep into its pupils, and the soul fire dimmed considerably, as if it would be extinguished at any moment.

The next moment, with a few crisp clangs, the first-tier undead general's metal greatsword broke in two and fell to the ground.

"Bang~"

From the moment Shen Bailian unleashed his power until now, in just ten seconds, the situation has been reversed. This level-one undead general finally crashed backward, falling heavily to the ground, his massive body trembling and convulsing.

However, while the Soul Flame grants it formidable combat power, it also creates its weakness: once the Soul Flame is severely damaged, there is no hope of reviving it.

Swish!
A golden light flashed, and the already dim, deep blue soul fire was extinguished in an instant with a 'whoosh'.

The Tier 1 Necromancer General, whose physical attributes reached level 16.2, is dead!

[Congratulations! Your basic swordsmanship skill has improved. Experience points +1]

Congratulations! Your character level experience has increased by 1.

【Congratulations.】

Shen Bailian withdrew his Dragon Slayer sword, turned sharply, and kicked a necromancer monster that was trying to ambush him with his right leg, sending it flying like a soccer ball.

The flying undead immediately crashed into the massive body of a melee guard.

boom!
Under the immense impact, the melee guard was instantly blown apart, his scattered limbs flying out like bullets just fired, knocking down a large number of undead monsters.

With a slight thought, a second-tier basic nutritional potion appeared in Shen Bailian's hand in the instant silver light flashed. After putting it in his mouth, he did not swallow it immediately.

After that, they continued to fight their way through the surrounding undead monsters.

Although the first-tier undead general was destroyed by Shen Bailian, these undead monsters had no consciousness whatsoever, so there was no such thing as morale.

Upon realizing the boy's power, the undead monsters instead moved closer to him, preparing to surround and kill him.

However, these undead monsters were far too weak. Wherever the blade passed, one undead monster after another was killed, and then they would re-enter the state of resurrection.

It was a completely one-sided battle.

Ten minutes later~
The blade flashed continuously, blasting away undead monsters and knocking them down in droves.

Shen Bailian's heart remained completely unmoved; he simply acted like a war machine, relentlessly slaughtering! Slaughtering! And slaughtering again!
The terrain of the First Line Sky Grand Canyon is excellent. At its widest point, it is only about 20 meters wide, so the undead monsters cannot swarm in. The more monsters you can take down here, the less pressure there will be in the final battle later.

however.

With the Iron Body skill as a bonus, Shen Bailian's mental strength has broken through to level 10.0. In addition, he has been in the Eye of God state. As long as he has enough supplies, he can fight for several hours without any problem.

However, the other martial artists were just ordinary geniuses, and they had already exhausted most of their strength after dealing with the close-combat guards.

Add to that the undead monsters coming from all directions, and the intense battles left everyone struggling to survive, with only a dozen or so people huddled together.

Even so, some martial artists began to suffer injuries, with bright red blood dripping onto the ground.

As for Li Feiyu and the others, after their previous outburst, they gradually fell into a weakened state, and their momentum was significantly reduced.

If Shen Bailian hadn't been intentionally or unintentionally helping them share the burden, they probably would have already collapsed.

In dire straits, the strong can easily become a beacon of light, or even a source of hope, for the rest, regardless of whether that strong person possesses leadership qualities.

In the eyes of the other martial artists, or in the eyes of Li Feiyu, Qin Wuyang, Li Shaoyang and other students of the Sun-level Dragon Gate Martial Arts Program, Shen Bailian was no different from such a person.

Sudden.

Bang bang bang!
The ground suddenly trembled violently. The priest of the gods could no longer hold back. The entire army of 50,000 undead monsters was actually held back for more than 20 minutes by more than 20 warriors at the Life Establishment Realm.

It’s tolerable, it’s unbearable!

Therefore, several of those 'divinely favored priests' suddenly emerged. Each of them was equivalent to a level 16.0 Life-Establishing Realm martial artist. Riding several undead creatures with a shoulder height of seven or eight meters, they charged out from the rear of the group.

In the past half hour, Shen Bailian alone has completely killed one or two thousand undead creatures.

The remaining twenty-five warriors, though weaker, were numerous and powerful, and they also managed to kill five or six thousand.

In total, this has resulted in the loss of nearly one-sixth of the original army of undead creatures, which numbered as many as fifty to sixty thousand. This is one of the reasons why the priests of the gods were so enraged.

This has nothing to do with the final outcome, because what will ultimately determine the outcome is not these undead creatures, but a matter of face.

The gods who attacked the freshmen of the six universities did not come from the same deity.

"You all retreat quickly, I'll cover your retreat!"

As soon as Shen Bailian noticed the powerful priests favored by the gods, he immediately gave orders to Li Feiyu and the others behind him, and then charged towards them.

Although they were constantly engaged in battle, Shen Bailian's mind remained clear.

Through his divine eye, he now clearly understood that, given the current state of the other martial artists, directly confronting those divine priests would be tantamount to cutting off their own arm.

Now that the blocking mission has been completed, and even exceeded, retreating is perfectly normal.

"it is good!"

"Brothers, listen to our senior brother, let's retreat first."

In just a few tens of minutes, the "Senior Brother Shen" that Li Feiyu and the others were talking about became "Senior Brother." Although there was only a one-word difference, the meaning was completely different.

This means that these twenty-five martial artists, who are almost all among the top freshmen of Tiangang Academy, have acknowledged Shen Bailian's status among the freshmen, but their bond of life and death is still hard to shake.

"Feiyu, are we really going to leave Senior Brother alone?" Qin Wuyang ran wildly outside, looking back at Shen Bailian who was gradually being surrounded, and couldn't help but feel worried.

No matter how strong Shen Bailian is, he is still just a freshman who has just entered the school. He is a martial artist at the Life Establishment Realm and has not yet fully mastered the basic breathing technique. No matter how strong his physical fitness is, he can only reach level 15 at most.

And those who worship the gods?

With their combined strength at level 16.0 and their sheer number, the encirclement and attack would be far more dangerous than the first round of trials.

It wasn't just Qin Wuyang who was extremely worried; everyone else was also very concerned because the chances of them surviving were extremely slim.

"Senior Brother Li, how about I go help our eldest brother?" A martial artist with a severe shoulder injury slowly stopped. He took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and made up his mind:
"My shoulder has been pierced, so I won't be of much help in the remaining battles. If I could..."

However, he hadn't finished speaking.

boom!
As the second strongest, Li Feiyu had to take on the responsibility of the team, while Shen Bailian was in charge of covering the rear. He knocked the martial artist unconscious from behind with a chop to the neck and carried him on his shoulder.

"What do you want?" His chest heaved violently, he breathed heavily, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, and he roared angrily.
"Did our senior brother cover the retreat so you could all go and die?"

The two sentences, like the resounding toll of a bell, instantly jolted everyone awake. They all turned around and gazed at the figure that was gradually being surrounded and disappearing from sight.

In an instant, a self-deprecating smile flashed across the lips of the martial artists. Their fists clenched so tightly that their nails almost dug into their palms, bringing a piercing pain.

Genius warrior?
What kind of fucking genius martial artists are they?
"Retreat now!"

As Li Feiyu's roar spread, in an instant, many freshmen turned around and rushed towards the rocky high ground without any hesitation.

"Senior Brother, take care!"

Li Feiyu turned back for one last look at the increasingly blurry figure, then with a loud bang, his figure vanished from the spot in an instant.

He didn't want to escape in such a sorry state, but he knew very well that if he rushed forward like that, he would not only cause trouble for Shen Bailian, but also kill the remaining teammates.

Will Shen Bailian really survive?

Li Feiyu had no confidence in this.

Shen Bailian also lacked confidence in himself.

Surrounded and attacked by several 'divine priests', he felt his body was severely injured, his internal organs were about to burst, and he spat out mouthfuls of blood.

These 'divinely favored priests' are not like those undead monsters with a strength of only level 13; each of them has reached level 16.0 and possesses profound combat skills.

It only took less than ten seconds.

puff~
Shen Bailian was severely injured again. A 'divinely favored priest' used a large metal sword to cut a gash five or six centimeters wide in his chest, clearly revealing his ribs. Blood dripped onto the ground.

finally.

With a deafening bang, Shen Bailian couldn't hold on any longer and was blasted dozens of meters away by one of the 'Divine Priests.' His chest caved in, leaving a terrifying hole through which the ground was clearly visible. "Hooray~~Hooray~~"

Shen Bailian was unable to speak, his mouth was full of blood and foam, he was having difficulty breathing, his life force was rapidly waning, and the aura of death was gradually growing stronger.

The remaining 'divine priests' lowered their guard after sensing the intense aura of death, leaving it to be dealt with by ordinary undead creatures, and continued their pursuit.

however.

boom!
Thunder rumbled and spread outwards, instantly wiping out the heavily injured undead creature that was originally intended to surround and kill it. With a loud bang, Shen Bailian vanished from the spot in an instant.

[Divine Skill: Shadow Follows LV1 (0/1) (Energy Storage: 1 time)]

[Divine Matter: 913]

bang bang bang...

Shen Bailian stepped on the heads of the undead creatures without touching the ground, using the momentum to turn in mid-air as if walking on flat ground, and attacked the 'divine priests' at an extremely fast speed.

Dragons and snakes rose together, his feet like dragons transforming into snakes, soaring into the air with a fierce gale, directly causing the two 'divine priests' who hadn't even had time to react to explode with a bang.

Having refreshed his status, Shen Bailian unleashed a torrent of powerful spiritual energy.

"windward"

The dragon trembled violently, swaying slowly with the wind. In the instant its waist twisted, its bones and muscles resonated, and its power became perfectly unified, like a taut bowstring.

"One cut!"

With a whoosh, a terrifying blade of light poured out like a floodgate being opened. The other 'divine priests' attacked frantically, but to no avail.

In the blink of an eye, Shen Bailian successfully reversed the situation by using his skill mechanism, and two more 'divine priests' were instantly killed.

however.

The other 'divinely favored priests' are inanimate objects. No matter how powerful Shen Bailian is, they will not feel fear, nor will they care about fairness and justice.

Although they didn't understand what was going on, once they sensed the danger to Shen Bailian, they immediately swarmed forward, determined to kill him twice if they couldn't kill him the first time.

but.

Shen Bailian's Divine Eye instantly switched to detection mode. After realizing that Li Feiyu and the others had completely disappeared, his eyes instantly became as sharp as knives, and the flames of battle raged.

If we're going to fight, then let's fight!

boom!
Without the slightest hesitation, Shen Bailian charged into the horde of undead monsters once more the instant his power surged.

It turns out that he could have chosen to resurrect in front of those divine priests and then kill them when they were off guard, but he was afraid that someone might come back unexpectedly, so he chose the safest option of resurrecting instantly on the spot.

"Then let's see if you can actually kill me!"

Shen Bailian had completely entered a killing frenzy, his target clearly set on attacking the location of the 'Divine Favored Priest'.

Wherever the blade's edge struck, not a single undead monster could survive. This scene stunned the true priestess favored by the gods, and naturally made her even angrier.

Originally there were only twenty-odd people, but now one person wants to stop an army of tens of thousands?

"#￥%@￥……&*"

After the priest of divine favor chanted softly once more, an invisible wave of light spread outwards. In an instant, the mysterious power emanating from the many undead creatures began to dissipate and recombine.
The divine substance within the body of the divinely favored priest also flowed out again, acting as a binder of power, and was far more abundant and of higher quality than before.

Crackling~~
Click~ Click~ Click~ Click
With a series of chilling sounds, four thousand undead creatures instantly lost their lives, along with their chance of revival.

A moment later, four tall and burly first-tier undead generals, each with two burning, ghostly blue flames in their eye sockets, were born once more.
Each Tier 1 Undead General possessed a strength level of 16.2, and with the addition of six 'Divine Favored Priests,' the lineup was unprecedentedly powerful.

Bang bang bang! The earth began to tremble violently as ten undead monsters, each with a strength of level 16.0, lined up and attacked the boy in front of them.

We must eliminate that boy completely and once again to wash away this shame!

Wow!
The moment the terrifying blade flashed, several thunderous sounds followed, and the last one was successfully killed by 'Divine Favored Priest' Shen Bailian.

The surrounding undead creatures were completely wiped out, shooting out in all directions like bowling balls, instantly smashing and knocking down a large number of them.

"Whoo~"

"Fortunately, there are enough chances to be resurrected."

Shen Bailian took a deep breath, and the rosy complexion on her face quickly faded, replaced by a deathly pale color. Her sharp, knife-like eyes also lost their luster.

With a thud, he couldn't help but kneel down on one knee.

The 'Divine Favored Priest' was a level 16.0. If it weren't for the resurrection to refresh its status and the Golden Purification, it would have been impossible to deal with the surrounding 'Divine Favored Priests'.

However, after a series of outbreaks.

Even though Shen Bailian has the level four [Iron Body] skill with its powerful recovery effect, it's useless without time; those undead monsters simply won't give him any time to recover.

And so, through the Eye of God, he saw those rapidly approaching first-tier undead generals and 'divine priests' once again.

"They really don't give people any time to breathe."

Shen Bailian slowly stood up, but after only a slight movement, he immediately felt a soreness and stinging sensation, causing him to stumble.

He gazed at the approaching monsters, slowly bringing the tip of his Dragon Slayer sword to a wound on his chest, aiming it upwards at his heart.

"I really don't enjoy being masochistic!"

He grinned and then thrust in with all his might.

puff~
With a faint sound of a heart being pierced, Shen Bailian's pupils contracted sharply, his facial muscles twitched and contorted violently, and blood gushed out continuously.

"groove!"

Shen Bailian couldn't help but curse. He hadn't expected that he would survive being pierced in the heart. He could only endure the excruciating pain and, with a sudden twist, completely shred his heart.

The undead general and the 'divine priest', who were still dozens of meters away, were completely bewildered by this scene, not understanding why the boy would suddenly commit suicide.

however.

Wow!
Right behind them, a terrifying golden light suddenly appeared, and Shen Bailian's figure materialized, instantly killing the two first-tier undead generals.

At the same time, his legs shot out like a raging dragon, and in the instant his waist twisted, a tremendous force surged out, with a strong gale forming in his legs.

"Bang!" "Bang!"

In an instant, the two enormous heads exploded like watermelons, and the agile fire of the first-tier undead general was extinguished in an instant by the sharp golden elemental power of heaven and earth.

After successfully landing a blow, Shen Bailian, refreshed and ready to strike, immediately charged into the dense array of undead monsters not far away.

Unless absolutely necessary, Shen Bailian would never put himself in an encirclement, especially against a group of undead monsters with a strength of level 16.0.

After all, no matter what, Shen Bailian had to leave four resurrection opportunities. Each resurrection had a time limit of 24 hours, so four resurrection opportunities were enough to last for four days.

What he needs to do now is to help reduce the pressure on Li Feiyu and the others as much as possible, while ensuring his own safety.

Shen Bailian's actions stunned the priests in the rear, leaving them completely bewildered.

This is not the power that humans should possess!
"Could he also be a chosen one of the gods?" The priest, through his avatar, watched Shen Bailian frantically slaughtering the slaying spirit monsters and pondered to himself, "Then why is he opposing me? Could it be that..."

Suddenly, a thought flashed through the priest's mind, and he instantly realized a possibility: "Could it be that this kid has grand ambitions and wants to take this opportunity to infiltrate the human race?!"

Yes!

That's certainly the case.

The more the priest thought about it, the more reasonable his guess seemed.

Even after the fall of a god, those favored by the god are not free from their constraints. After all, over thousands of years, the god's mark has been etched deep into their souls. If they dare to betray the god, they will immediately be annihilated.

All the fallen gods now share a common enemy, or rather, a race—humanity!
The reason that boy dared to disrupt their plans must be because he had the approval of the gods and wanted to take this opportunity to infiltrate the human race.

"A brilliant plan." The priest looked at the boy from afar and murmured, "Then come and let me lend you a hand when the opportunity arises."

The northernmost border of the Divine Ruins.

The heavy rain has gradually stopped, but the thick, leaden clouds have not yet dissipated.

"0527, 0527, Comrade Zhou Xiaowei, please respond if you hear me, please respond if you hear me."

"Hu! Hu! Hu!"

Zhou Xiaowei, covered in blood, suddenly woke up, clutching his head and hunching over like a shrimp.

My head was throbbing as if it were about to split open, as if I had been struck by a heavy object. The space fighter lost control, crashed, and made a hard landing. Scenes flashed through my mind, and all I could hear were the roars of the impacts and explosions.

"0527, 0527, Comrade Zhou Xiaowei, Comrade Zhou Xiaowei, please respond if you hear me, please respond if you hear me."

Hearing the increasingly clear voice in his ear, Zhou Xiaowei knew he wasn't dreaming; he had survived.

Out of his good military discipline, he instinctively got up from the ground after hearing the sound and groped his way toward the cockpit, which had been extinguished by the rain.

Zhou Xiaowei was extremely familiar with his 'old comrade-in-arms'. In just a moment, he had reached the cockpit, established quantum communication, and immediately replied:

"Reporting to TG (Tiangang) Command, 0527 has received the message, please provide instructions."

Tiangang Academy, Tian Shu Building.

"Good good!"

"Phew~, thankfully we didn't give up calling for help, these children are saved."

The moment the reply was received, the entire conference room erupted in a huge cheer, leaving the guards outside completely bewildered.

"Don't waste time." Duan Wuyai looked at Ji Chenghu and said quickly, "Principal, quickly ask if the space fighter is still usable?"

The purpose of building the Great Xia's aerospace fighters is to eliminate the threat of flying ferocious beasts within the Great Xia territory. Therefore, they are equipped with kinetic energy weapons, laser weapons, and energy weapons.

The aura of resistance within the Divine Ruins prohibits martial artists at or above the Transcendent Realm from entering. Similarly, the army of undead creatures favored by the gods cannot exceed the Transcendent Realm.

However, its strongest state can only be stuck at level 16.9, and it also has many powerful clones and undead monsters, forming a double crushing force in terms of both quantity and strength.

However, if the space fighter is still usable, one space fighter could solve this problem.

"Xiao Wei is being checked, just wait for news," Ji Chenghu said with a smile, instantly feeling half relieved.

A few seconds later~
"Report to TG (Tiangang) Command: 0527 has undergone a full inspection and, due to the previous hard landing, has lost its ability to take off."

The words transmitted through the quantum communication device exploded like a bolt from the blue, instantly freezing everyone's smiles on their faces.

"but."

"But what?" Upon hearing the word "but," Duan Wuyai immediately rushed to the quantum communication device: "Tell me quickly, but what?"
