The Fourth Disaster: People become gods through high martial arts and gaming

Chapter 304 Thunder Rumbles at the Bottom of the Hidden Dragon Abyss, A Single Sword Shatters a Galaxy of Stars and Valleys! (Long Chapter)

"Mental perception?"

Does the "Eternal Path to Immortality" skill exist?

The Thousand-Blade Demon looked quite calm, and even offered a special explanation, which left Yi Ye Fuyun somewhat astonished.

Facing five experts from the War God Alliance alone, even he might have been injured. However, Yi Ye Fuyun, who was only at level one, not only escaped unscathed but also managed to evade them all with his so-called spiritual perception, which was truly unbelievable.

Despite the surprise, the Thousand Blade Demon's rescue speed did not slow down.

Although Yiye Fuyun dodged the five people's attacks, his crisis was not over. If he didn't help, it was only a matter of time before he was killed, since the two sides not only had a difference in numbers, but also a difference in level.

Don't underestimate the fact that each level up only grants a small amount of free attributes. When there's a significant level difference, these accumulated attributes can easily determine the outcome of a battle.

In particular, Immortal Path Eternal has the same stamina system as in reality, so you can't fight for a long time like in other games without feeling tired.

In the Eternal Immortal Path, you'll feel tired after fighting for a while, just like a sprint in real life—a high-intensity exercise that you can't sustain for long.

High-level players usually increase their stamina to extend their endurance. Just by adding some stamina, level 6 or 7 players can extend their endurance by more than 20% compared to level 1 players. This means that if the five experts from the War God Alliance keep attacking Yi Ye Fuyun, no matter how well Yi Ye Fuyun can dodge, he will run out of stamina before the five experts from the War God Alliance and become unable to move.

At that time, even a seemingly insignificant cloud will be easily slaughtered by any player, let alone the experts of the War God Alliance.

But before Thousand Blade Demon could take more than a few steps, Ghost Marquis, who was chasing from behind, blocked his path with a spear, forcing Thousand Blade Demon to turn around and defend himself.

"I'll hold this old man off; you guys quickly deal with the newbie and the crazy woman!"

While Ghost Lord stopped Thousand Blade Demon, he also gave instructions to the fourteen people who were surrounding and attacking Yi Ye Fuyun and Ye Qinglu, intending to finish the battle quickly.

As a top-tier guild in the virtual gaming world, the War God Alliance has had many interactions with the Sky Travelers adventure group. In fact, the Sky Travelers have thwarted the War God Alliance's plans on several occasions. The two sides have fought several battles in other games, so they know the Sky Travelers quite well.

Although the newcomer, Yiye Fuyun, was beyond their expectations, they knew all too well the situation of the vice-captains of Qianren Evil Ghost and Sky Traveler.

If he can hold off Thousand Blade Demon for a short while, the fourteen of them will be enough to take down Leaf Cloud and Ye Qinglu.

"Trying to hold me back won't be that easy!"

In response, the Thousand-Blade Demon held back its strength, launching increasingly fierce attacks. It even used the longsword in its hand as a throwing weapon, hurling six swords at Ghost Marquis, the elder of the War God Alliance, while simultaneously slashing with the two longswords in its hand. The speed was so fast that ordinary people could not even react.

"I'm already used to your Eight Swords Style. Why do you think the vice president sent me to deal with you?"

Ghost Marquis brandished his spear, no longer holding back his strength. With a thrust and a pull, he stabbed eight times in an instant, each thrust hitting the blade precisely and blocking all the attacks.

For a time, the two sides were evenly matched, neither able to gain the upper hand.

"Damn it, his strength has improved quite a bit since I last saw him." Thousand Blade Demon looked at Ghost Marquis, whose level was not much inferior to his own, with a gloomy expression.

The uglier the Thousand-Blade Demon's expression became, the more pleased Ghost Lord felt, and the more relaxed he became during the fight.

After unleashing his full power for more than ten seconds, Gui Hou's mouth was almost split open.

Ten seconds is enough time for the battle on the other side to end. After that, all we need to do is wait for our companions to arrive, and then we can gang up on the Thousand-Blade Demon and completely end this battle.

However, Guihou was shocked when he saw it.

On the other side, the battle was far from over. It seemed that Yi Ye Fu Yun was getting better and better at the fight. Under the siege of the five people, he dodged and weaved, and the five people could not touch him at all. It was as if he was dancing in the crowd, with the other five people as his backup dancers.

"What are you five doing! Why haven't you taken down that newcomer yet?" Ghost Marquis couldn't help but fly into a rage.

The other nine people surrounded Ye Qinglu, the vice leader of the Sky Travelers. It was one thing if the battle didn't end, after all, Ye Qinglu, this crazy woman, was really strong, someone who could fight the vice leader to a standstill.

Given that Ye Qinglu's level is the highest level in the closed beta, level nine, and he also has the opportunity to obtain the low-grade magic weapon Longquan Sword, which can increase attributes, it is much stronger than the high-grade mortal weapon he uses. It is normal that the nine people cannot take it down in a short time.

But he couldn't stand it when the five of them hadn't even managed to defeat a complete newbie at level one.

Thousand Blade Demon is no ordinary cat or dog. He once killed three elders of the War God Alliance in one go in another game. His ability to delay for more than ten seconds is already an extraordinary performance.

The five members of the War God Alliance also had mixed feelings upon hearing this.

In fact, the five of them were also quite helpless. Not only did Yi Ye Fu Yun have eyes in the back of his head, but no matter how they surrounded and attacked him, he could easily dodge them with minimal effort, which meant that he didn't consume much energy. In fact, after a series of attacks, the five of them didn't have as much energy left as Yi Ye Fu Yun.

The five of them even suspected that Yi Ye Fuyun was cheating, otherwise the range and position of his dodges would be so perfect. He hadn't made a single mistake in more than ten seconds of continuous fighting. Moreover, in the lightning-fast continuous attacks, the distance he avoided the weapon each time was only about one centimeter, which was simply not something a human could do.

"This kid is too slippery. Let's trade our lives for his," the man holding the nine-ringed broadsword said through gritted teeth.

The other four nodded, their gazes toward Yi Ye Fuyun filled with coldness.

The Immortal Path's eternal punishment for death is severe; each death results in the loss of one level. At their level, losing one level takes at least a day to recover, so no one wants to die unless absolutely necessary.

As the five men's killing intent intensified, Yi Ye Fuyun, who had been dodging, suddenly clenched his fist and punched the level 6 gunman in front of him.

"court death!"

The level 6 gunman was somewhat surprised to see Yi Ye Fuyun suddenly attack, but he swept his spear horizontally and smashed it down, intending to teach Yi Ye Fuyun a lesson.

Although his strength attribute wasn't high, it was still twelve points, which was far beyond the reach of a level one newbie. When their strength clashed, the weaker party would be momentarily stunned, and the other four would seize this opportunity to easily eliminate Yi Ye Fuyun.

boom!
The spear collided with the fist. The level 6 man wielding the spear, who had originally intended to mock the cloud, found that his spear had not only failed to repel the cloud, but had instead bent at an unbelievable angle. Then, a terrifying force came from the spear.

boom!
The level 6 armed man was thrown back more than two meters before he managed to land and regain his balance, feeling a numbness in his hands.

Before the level 6 gunman could react, Yiye Fuyun appeared in front of him and threw another punch. The movement was incredibly natural and fluid. The level 6 gunman was so stiff from the recoil that he didn't have time to dodge and was hit on the head.

boom!
The level 6 gunman's head made direct contact with the ground, instantly dropping more than half of his health. Then, "Floating Cloud" delivered another punch, punching a hole in both the gunman's head and the ground. The gunman's health was reduced to zero; he was utterly dead...

"You...how is that possible!"

"How come you are so powerful?"

The other four were stunned when they saw their companion being taken down in three punches, completely bewildered as to what had just happened.

Yi Ye Fuyun delivered three punches in quick succession. Although it seemed slow, the entire exchange between the two lasted less than two seconds. They didn't even have time to come to their aid before the man died.

However, what puzzled the four the most was the power of the Floating Cloud Leaf. They couldn't understand why a level 1 Floating Cloud Leaf could be so powerful, and why a level 6 character had no chance to resist it.

Furthermore, Yi Ye Fuyun had been desperately dodging and trying to stay alive, but now he suddenly started to counterattack. Moreover, he didn't use the longsword hanging at his waist and went straight for punches with only basic attack power, which was simply incomprehensible.

"Sorry to keep you waiting, brothers. I got used to playing High Martial Arts Descent before, and my body wasn't used to this game. I've barely gotten used to it now. Let's start a serious match." Yi Ye Fu Yun stretched, confirming that he had complete control over his body, and looked at the four members of the War God Alliance with some excitement.

The virtuality of the High Martial Descent was so high that it was practically indistinguishable from reality. In contrast, in the Eternal Immortal Path, although the virtuality was over 85%, he always felt a sense of lag. Although this lag was very, very faint, it was still very uncomfortable for him, who had already had his head blown off twice in the High Martial Descent. So he had been adjusting along the way to get complete control over his body.

Finally, just now, he has adapted to his new body.

He was also curious about how well the martial arts he learned in the game "High Martial Arts Descend" could be used in the game "Eternal Immortal Path". The effect of the "Stone Shattering Fist" he just used was not ideal. The power he exerted by mobilizing his body muscles was only about 90% of the original "Stone Shattering Fist".

There are still four experts from the War God Alliance, which is a good opportunity to try out other martial arts techniques.

The four members of the War God Alliance were all stunned for a moment.

Are you getting used to the physical body in the game because you're not used to the game's physics?

What the heck is this game called "High Martial Arts Descend"? I've never even heard of it.

What's with this "not adapting to the game" nonsense? Do you need to adapt your body to playing games?
What do you mean by "fight seriously"? Is that even a human thing to say? "You little brat, you're asking for it!"

Seeing Yi Ye Fuyun's provocation, the four were completely enraged. Instantly, they charged towards Yi Ye Fuyun head-on, with the man wielding the nine-ringed broadsword leading the way and the other three following closely behind.

"Be careful, they're going to trade their lives for yours!" The Thousand-Blade Demon, who had finally arrived, warned repeatedly, "Don't take the hit head-on!"

In virtual games, many games do not have a mechanism to harm one's own side, but Immortal Path Eternal is different. All attacks are almost realistic, which makes companions usable tools.

However, Yi Ye Fuyun seemed not to hear, showing no intention of fighting, and simply stood there quietly, waiting for the four to attack.

"die!"

The man wielding the nine-ringed broadsword suddenly exerted his strength, and the broadsword in his hand instantly turned into two afterimages, slashing at Yi Ye Fuyun respectively. Yi Ye Fuyun had no choice but to take the blows head-on. Meanwhile, the three people behind him attacked the man wielding the nine-ringed broadsword from behind at the same time, intending to kill the man and Yi Ye Fuyun together.

Just as the two blade shadows were about to land on Yi Ye Fuyun, Yi Ye Fuyun raised one hand and precisely struck the blade of the real sword with the back of his palm, deflecting the attack trajectory of the greatsword. At the same time, he took a step forward, turned around, and with his other hand, it seemed as if thunder exploded, breaking the sound barrier, and struck the side of the man with the nine-ring greatsword with a palm strike.

Advanced martial art Thunder Palm (powerless version)!
boom!
Before the attacks from the three behind him could even land on the man with the nine-ringed broadsword, he was sent flying like a cannonball, his health points instantly reduced to zero.

"died?"

The three men were all shocked as they stared at the man with the nine-ringed broadsword who had been instantly killed.

As level 6 players, they have some extra health points, while level 9 players, even if they put all their attribute points into strength, cannot kill them in one hit.

Now, a floating cloud is a palm strike...

Before the three could react, a floating cloud took a step and arrived in front of them, its hands crackling with thunder, before turning and sweeping past them.

clap clap clap!
Three palms were struck out, hitting the sides of the three men, sending them flying five or six meters away, killing them instantly.

"Just who is this person?!"

Ghost Marquis stared wide-eyed at the four people who had been instantly killed, unable to believe it was real.

Previously, it was one thing for a single cloud to take down one person with a surprise attack, and it took three punches to kill them. Now, it takes down one person with a single palm strike. It's practically a human-shaped BOSS.

Even he felt that he couldn't say he could survive those three consecutive blows; they were even more terrifying than the Thousand-Blade Demon.

"Killed?"

The Thousand-Blade Demon couldn't believe his eyes when he saw Yi Ye Fuyun instantly kill four people.

When Ye Qinglu said he wanted to introduce his younger brother to the Phantom Troupe, he was against it. After all, Ye Qinglu made it very clear that Yi Ye Fuyun's level was decent and should be able to meet the Phantom Troupe's minimum requirements.

Ye Qinglu always spoke seriously and responsibly, which is why he thought of testing Yi Ye Fuyun in the underground boxing ring. He had to admit that Yi Ye Fuyun's performance was better than he expected, and it did meet the minimum requirements of the troupe.

But what the hell is going on right now?

Is this what you call "not bad"?

Watching the Thousand-Blade Demon locked in combat, Yi Ye Fu Yun asked, somewhat unsatisfied, "Brother Thousand-Blade, do you need any help?"

The three consecutive strikes of the Thunder Palm were not his limit. Besides the Thunder Palm, he also wanted to try other martial arts techniques, but there were no more members of the War God Alliance. If he wanted to try, he would have to find other members of the War God Alliance.

"No need, I can handle this guy. You go help Qinglu!" Thousand Blade Demon shook his head with a smile, looking at the formidable Yi Ye Fuyun, he knew that their battle was in the bag.

"Help my sister?" Yi Ye Fuyun said with a wry smile. "I'd rather not. If I dared to go over there, she would definitely chop me up too."

"Brother Yiye, stop fooling around. Qinglu has nine people on their side. If we don't go to support them soon, it will be dangerous." Qianren Egui was speechless as he looked at Yiye Fuyun, who showed no intention of making a move. At a time like this, he still had the mood to play around.

Although Ye Qinglu is a level nine player and wields the low-grade magic weapon Longquan Sword, his stamina is not much higher than that of other level six players. It is not impossible for nine people to join forces and wear Ye Qinglu down. Not to mention that the experts of the War God Alliance are willing to perish together, Ye Qinglu simply cannot withstand it for long.

However, just as Thousand Blade Demon was speaking, Ye Qinglu, who was fighting not far away, also stopped dodging. However, unlike Yi Ye Fuyun, who was not familiar with the Eternal Immortal Path, Ye Qinglu's Longquan Sword suddenly emitted a blue light, causing the spiritual energy existing within the Eternal Immortal Path to manifest.

"Spiritual energy! She can actually condense spiritual energy?"

The Thousand-Blade Demon's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets as it stared at the Longquan Sword, which was gleaming with a bluish light.

Within the eternal Immortal Path, there exists a kind of energy called spiritual energy. It is because of spiritual energy that one can cultivate immortality. According to the NPCs in the game, only those who condense spiritual energy can step into the Qi Refining Realm, which is the realm that one advances to after level ten.

However, spiritual energy is formless and intangible, and players can only vaguely sense it within the game, let alone condense it using the spirit mentioned by NPCs.

Normally, to enter the Qi Refining Realm, one must obtain a cultivation technique and practice it according to the technique in the game in order to figure out how to condense spiritual energy. Or rather, such a cultivation technique is like a tool that can play a great auxiliary role, making it easier to control spiritual energy. The better the cultivation technique, the more the difficulty is reduced. However, such cultivation techniques are all in various sects, and one cannot obtain them before joining one.

But now, Ye Qinglu can condense spiritual energy on her own without any cultivation techniques, which is simply unbelievable.

As Ye Qinglu looked at the blue light emanating from the Longquan sword in her hand, a slight smile appeared on her lips.

"As expected, a strong spirit combined with the Shocking Breathing Technique is effective." Ye Qinglu felt the spiritual energy flowing through her body, and her evaluation of the game "High Martial Arts Descent" rose to another level.

In Ye Qinglu's view, the spiritual energy within the Immortal Path of Eternity was designed to cultivate the spirit of pioneers. Its main purpose was to encourage players to train their spirit, as a stronger spirit allowed for better control over spiritual energy. The so-called cultivation techniques were likely tools for amplifying spiritual perception, enabling players to better manipulate spiritual energy with their willpower.

However, the training method of the Eternal Immortal Path is clearly far inferior to that of the High Martial Descent method. The High Martial Descent method allows one to directly hone and improve one's spirit through visualization, while the Eternal Immortal Path is very indirect. One can only exert pressure on the spirit by manipulating more spiritual energy, and one still needs to figure out how to manipulate more spiritual energy. The two are not just one level apart.

"Spiritual energy! How can she control spiritual energy?" Ghost Marquis was also shocked when he looked at Ye Qinglu.

With his spiritual energy perception so vague, he couldn't understand how Ye Qinglu managed to do it. Being able to condense spiritual energy meant that Ye Qinglu could advance to the Qi Refining Realm without joining a sect, which would put her far ahead of everyone else in terms of level.

"Kill! We must kill her!" Ghost Marquis looked at Ye Qinglu with icy eyes.

Ye Qinglu is currently at level nine. Only by reaching level ten can he advance to the Qi Refining Realm. Players will lose levels if they die. Now, by killing Ye Qinglu, we can significantly slow down his advancement speed, thus giving the War God Alliance more time to explore how to condense spiritual energy.

The nine experts from the War God Alliance also understood the importance of killing Ye Qinglu, and their eyes turned increasingly bloodshot as they launched a series of attacks on Ye Qinglu without reservation.

"Well done! Let you try this trick!"

Ye Qinglu watched as the nine people rushed in from all directions. She held her Longquan sword horizontally, and the blue light grew brighter and brighter, even dazzling the people of the distant brigade and the War God Alliance.

At this moment, time seemed to stand still. Everyone around could feel the vague spiritual energy surging wildly towards Ye Qinglu. Even the spiritual energy that was originally vaguely perceived became clear at this moment.

In the blink of an eye, everyone saw a phantom figure over a hundred meters tall standing proudly in the Thousand Needle Forest. The phantom figure held a long sword in the same pose as Ye Qinglu in the phantom.

"rise!"

Ye Qinglu raised his Longquan sword.

Suddenly, three hundred longswords formed from spiritual energy appeared around the phantom that was over a hundred meters tall, hovering above the Thousand Needle Forest. The players in the Thousand Needle Forest were all stunned and did not understand what was going on.

A divine intervention?

Special BOSS?

"go with!"

Ye Qinglu swung the Longquan sword at the members of the War God Alliance.

In an instant, three hundred spiritual swords, each tens of meters in size, swept towards all members of the War God Alliance like a long river of sword energy.

Until the three hundred spiritual swords dissipated, a canyon over a kilometer long appeared in the entire Thousand Needle Forest, and the War God Alliance was completely wiped out...
