Gao Wu: You have science, and I have magic!

huh~
Without thinking, Michael leaped into the air, riding the gust of wind and whizzing away. His movements were seamless and smooth to the extreme, which showed that this was not the first time he had done this.

If it weren't for this extraordinary body movement, he would not have been able to survive and become a Martial Saint and would have been beaten to death long ago.

It’s a pity that he met Ye Qingzhou.

"Comparing speed with me?"

Ye Qingzhou stepped forward heavily with his left foot, and then his figure disappeared from the spot, leaving only a deep pit and a strong aftermath caused by the tearing of the air.

Seventy times the speed of sound!
At seventy, you can do whatever you want without breaking the rules. When the sword speed exceeds Mach 70, do what your heart desires. No one can break your rules.

At this time, Ye Qingzhou had already reached this level.

Today on Blue Star, under the God of War, Ye Qingzhou has reached the pinnacle, unrivalled in the universe, and is the number one Martial Saint in the world.

After a fierce battle, Ye Qingzhou's mind image under the pressure of the five martial saints and Susanoo's astonishing sword underwent another transformation, evolving from Taiyi to Taichu, and the image of the innate five Tai has entered the second stage.

Taiyi has no image!

The primordial energy!

In the beginning there was no form or substance, only the innate Qi. This was a more primitive state of the universe than chaos, the beginning of Qi but before the appearance of form. The Tao had not yet been born, and heaven and earth were mixed as one, without inside or outside.

"The Taiyi Wuxiang Jing was obtained by the Sword Emperor and the White Emperor through their joint contemplation. It is the zeroth dimension closest to the spiritual world, the dimension of the mind. All things return to emptiness, and the heaven and earth have no form."

"The Taichu Yuanqi Sutra was created by the Green Emperor. It represents the origin of the world, the state of unity of all things. It is also the first dimension, the dimension of time."

"The so-called time is essentially the change in the movement of matter brought about by the flow of energy. Mastering the laws of this is equivalent to mastering the mystery of time."

Zheng~
Ye Qingzhou silently swung out a sword. This sword was not fast, and could even be said to be very slow, but at the moment the sword was swung out, the opponent had already been hit by the sword, as if it had the characteristic of "must hit".

baah~
Michael, who was flying on the sea, was suddenly cut with a wound deep enough to see the bone. The golden-red holy blood fell into the waves of the sea and was swallowed by countless fish and shrimps.

The blood of the Martial Saint contains powerful vital energy. Weak marine creatures will explode and die immediately after swallowing it. Only a few lucky ones are gifted with special talents and their genes are strengthened, and they evolve into new mutant creatures.

Some fish grew horns and scales as hard as steel, some mollusks swelled in size and became bloodthirsty and aggressive. There was even a sea turtle that, after swallowing a large amount of holy blood, turned into a giant creature over 300 meters long, with its back like a moving island.

"Ah! Ye Qingzhou!"

Michael showed an expression of shock and anger, obviously shocked again by the changes in Ye Qingzhou's mental image. Especially this kind of mental image involving the Avenue of Time, which was notoriously strange and unpredictable and difficult to guard against.

He didn't even know how he got caught!
After Ye Qingzhou slashed out with the sword, he thought to himself: "Normally, even if the speed is very fast, the sword tip must undergo spatial changes after the sword is out before it can hit the enemy. But now, I can use the power of my mind to erase the process and directly lock in the result of the hit."

There is no doubt that this is an extremely terrifying force. Even though this force is currently still limited by the coverage of the mind and cannot reach everywhere, it is still incredibly powerful.

To some extent, it is even enough to threaten the gods.

Of course, it's just a threat.

Just like a child with a knife can threaten a strong man, but the strong man can still easily kill a child who dares to wave a knife at him.

Zheng~
Ye Qingzhou swung the sword again, and the sharp sword energy tore Michael's back in an instant, leaving an unhealable wound.

Even a martial saint could not heal the wound with his own vitality, because this kind of "change" was also included in the scope of time, and was thus locked by Ye Qingzhou's spiritual thoughts, making the healing ineffective.

"Damn it! Damn it!"

Michael was so frightened that he had to squeeze his potential desperately and increase his speed to an unprecedented limit. Then he crashed head-on into an invisible barrier with a bang.

Even someone as strong as a Martial Saint would suffer severe damage after crashing into an indestructible wall at seventy times the speed of sound.

Michael was covered in blood and dizzy at this time. He dived into the surging waves below, splashing a large amount of water.

If the Martial Saint's physique had not been strong enough, he would have been shattered to pieces by now.

Ye Qingzhou stopped in time and said with a click of the tongue: "From the sound of it, it's a good start. He's lucky enough to be alive."

After falling into the water, Michael quickly regained consciousness and controlled cell regeneration to quickly recover from his injuries. As long as he was not injured by Ye Qingzhou's Taichu sword energy, no matter how serious the injury was, it would not be enough to threaten the life of the Martial Saint.

"Damn it! This area is blocked by a barrier! There's no way to escape!"

Michael was filled with despair, but he still did not give up struggling: "Ola! As long as we find Ola and join forces with her, even if we can't win, at least we can save our lives!"

The reason why Michael did not choose to join the Knights of War and the Knights of Famine was because he did not want to be dragged into the war of gods, which would be seeking death.

After making the decision, Michael immediately turned around, accelerated back to the main island, and rushed towards the place where he had agreed with Ola.

"Want to ask for help?"

Ye Qingzhou naturally saw what Michael was thinking, and immediately followed him slowly, slashing with his sword from time to time to aggravate Michael's injuries and make it impossible for him to maintain his victorious posture.

In this way, the two of them chased each other, almost across the entire Japan from east to west, and arrived at Hirado City.

Hirado City was not at peace at this time. Half of the city was reduced to ruins. The once prosperous streets and shopping malls were now like a typhoon, with only ruins left.

At the same time, two figures, one blue and one red, collided fiercely in the center of the city and fought endlessly.

Rumble~
The blood-red sword energy is fierce and brave, carrying an irresistible tyrannical will, as if a high and mighty king is holding the sword against your throat and asking, "Submit, or die?"

The navy blue shadows of the trees tower into the clouds. Under their shade, the earth is full of vitality, giving people a feeling that all things are competing.

In the ruins of a building that was cut in half by sword energy, Yingyue lifted up the ceiling that was pressing on her body, and the wounds on her skin healed quickly, becoming delicate and smooth again.

However, the originally solid mental image has now become much fainter. It is obvious that it has consumed a lot of energy and is gradually becoming unsustainable.

In the thick smoke and dust, a knight wearing pure golden armor, holding a greatsword and a strong shield, walked slowly towards them.

Knight King Aura is the leader of the Paladins, and he has another identity, that is, the squire of the Knight of War among the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse!
"Beautiful lady, you have the dual gifts of creation and space, and have infinite potential. Are you willing to convert to my Lord and start a war on earth?"

"No, I already have a master."

Yingyue chose to refuse without hesitation.

"This... is such a pity..."

Aura raised the knight's sword in his hand high into the air and shouted: "Sword of Damocles!"

Then, a huge and overbearing force gathered in the sky. It shone brightly, like a ball of blazing heavenly fire, transforming into the shape of a sharp sword.

The sword of Damocles was about to fall on Yingyue, destroying her body and soul and completely wiping her out of this world.

"Ah~"

A figure accompanied by screams passed by like a meteor, smashing the summoned Sword of Damocles and creating a deep pit on the ground.

In the pit, Michael was left with only his left hand and right leg. He was once the sacred eagle of the Western Kingdom, but today he was about to lose his wings here. His face was as panicked as a loser. "Ola, save me!"

"Ok?"

Aura did not continue to attack Yingyue. Instead, he raised his shield, held up his sword, and took a cautious defensive stance.

"Are you Europa's top expert, Aura, the Knight King of the Holy Knights?"

Ye Qingzhou fell from the sky and landed in front of Yingyue.

As he spoke, he raised his hand and swung out two swords, cutting Michael, who was trying to struggle to get up, into a human stick, completely depriving him of the ability to resist.

"The Ultimate Sword Saint, Ye Qingzhou..."

Ola looked at Ye Qingzhou with a serious expression. As a veteran of many battles, he already felt how terrifying the enemy in front of him was, because he felt nothing from Ye Qingzhou.

Even if he used the power bestowed by God, he could only see a vague chaos on Ye Qingzhou's body.

"My dear!!"

Yingyue cried with joy.

Ye Qingzhou saw that Yingyue was exhausted and must have suffered a lot in the battle against Aura, so he comforted her softly, "It's okay, leave the rest to me."

"You have to be careful, this tin can has some abilities."

After Yingyue gave some instructions, she picked up Michael from the ground and retreated to the outskirts of the battlefield.

Ola ignored Michael's distress signal. His eyes never left Ye Qingzhou for even half a second after he appeared, because in his eyes, Ye Qingzhou had become a major threat to the entire Western world.

Just when Ola wanted to do everything he could to kill Ye Qingzhou here, the situation on the battle took a sharp turn for the worse - the battle between gods had already been decided!

The joining of Huangdi made the plans of the Famine Knights and the War Knights come to nothing, and even they themselves were involved.

The Famine Knight was hunted by the Yellow Emperor, while the War Knight was "shared" by the three war gods: the Snake Mother Yin Ji, the Queen of Heaven Hera, and the Earthly Serpent Jörmungandr.

The three noble sons of Izumo were also suppressed by Chiyou with his Tyrant Fist and became trophies.

Ola apparently received the final oracle from the War Knight, asking him to leave the Izumo area, retreat to the Holy See, and preserve the fire of war.

"Ye Qingzhou, how about we end this battle here?"

Aura received the oracle and now just wanted to get away as soon as possible.

But Ye Qingzhou didn't intend to let him go, so he refused directly: "You want to run away after you offended me?"

Zheng~
The sword of the Beginning vibrated again.

Click~
Aura looked at the sword scar on his chest in surprise. If he hadn't been wearing the holy armor, he would have been injured. "What kind of sword move is that?"

"you guess?"

Ye Qingzhou then smiled without saying anything and just kept swinging his sword.

The Primordial Sword's ability to erase time made it hard to defend against. Aura's holy armor was soon covered with scars, as if it would break in the next instant.

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God!”

Ola had to call for the blessing of divine power. The War Knight had fallen. Although he was not truly dead, the power of the divine magic he had bestowed on him had dropped sharply and could no longer provide him with strong enough protection.

Just as a golden shield similar to an eggshell appeared on Ola's body, it was shattered by Ye Qingzhou's swords. Ola was so scared that he quickly raised the shield in his hand.

"As solid as a wall!"

A large amount of spiritual energy emerged from the shield, transferring all the injuries on Ola's body to the shield, which allowed him to escape temporarily.

Seeing that Ye Qingzhou was about to swing his sword, Aura quickly used telepathy to transmit his voice: "Wait! We can talk!"

Ye Qingzhou was too lazy to reply, he just wanted to kill the opponent in front of him.

"I'm sorry for hurting your woman, but I can compensate you! Just name your price!"

Ye Qingzhou was still too lazy to respond. After killing the Knight King and then breaking into the Vatican, wouldn't all the treasures on Mount Paradise be his?

How can something given to you by others compare to something you take yourself?

"Ye Qingzhou, don't go too far!"

Seeing that Ye Qingzhou's attacks were becoming more and more ferocious, Ola became furious. He stopped defending and instead showed an attitude as if he was ready to die together with Ye Qingzhou.

"You talk too much nonsense."

Ye Qingzhou's attack never stopped. He soon shattered Ola's shield, shield and armor and began to attack his body.

Feeling the threat to her life, Aura was also very decisive: "Let's die together!"

He held the golden sword in both hands, raised it above his head, and began to call for the coming of the power of war: "War Oath, Sword of Victory!"

Although the War Knights have fallen, the Avenue of War still exists. For two thousand years, the existence of the Holy See and the Paladins has continuously strengthened the power of the Avenue of War.

At this moment, Knight King Aura launched a blow that was sure to bring victory, because it was a sacred oath.

Amid the melodious sound of horns, the golden sword that fell from the sky was gorgeous and domineering. The power of war was unmatched, and its might was equivalent to the full-strength attack of a war knight.

This is the attack of an emperor-level martial god. The power is so strong that it is like a mountain collapsing or a meteor falling to the ground.

Even Ye Qingzhou's infinite mind image could not completely dissolve this terrifying blow that could destroy the world.

Rumble~
In the blink of an eye, his figure melted away like spring snow in the dazzling golden sword light.

The body of the Knight King Aura, who swung the sword, also collapsed directly under the impact of the divine power. Before he died, he continued to laugh wildly: "Hahaha, die with me!"

"Lang Jun!"

When Yingyue was heartbroken, Ye Qingzhou's whisper echoed in her ears: "Don't worry, I'm not dead."

"what?"

Then, she saw a drop of blood appeared on the palm of her hand. In the blink of an eye, golden silk threads like roots grew from the drop of blood, interweaving into a palm-sized cocoon.

"I need to digest the war power in my body and rebuild my body. During this time, you will protect me."

Ye Qingzhou's voice came from the cocoon, and Yingyue happily hugged him in her arms: "My dear, you have actually cultivated the magical power of rebirth by dripping blood. It's incredible." (End of this chapter)
