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

Chapter 329 The Four Regions Tremble

"All dead?"

Upon hearing this, Rexxar's eyes widened, and he was stunned for a moment, feeling as if this was a joke.

In this era where the Celestial Realm rarely makes a move, a half-step Celestial Realm expert has already reached the pinnacle. With the ability to maintain a phantom of blood and qi at all times for combat, coupled with a body strength exceeding 400 tons beyond its limits, even a martial artist at the peak of the Blood Condensation Realm cannot withstand more than a few blows.

It's just a siege of one of the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy's strongholds, and yet they've already died—three of them at once! It's unbelievable.

Rhine Manster, who had been hiding his strength for many years, attacked the stronghold alone and was killed. However, the Seeker of Light, Merk, and the three-headed Uren were both half-step Celestials who had been famous for many years, and their strength was no less than his.

When the two act together, they can defeat even a dozen or so high-level Blood Condensation Realm experts who are at their limit. Not to mention that if a Half-Step Celestial Realm expert is determined to escape, even a fellow Half-Step Celestial Realm expert would have a hard time stopping him. As for Blood Condensation Realm warriors who cannot even break through their physical limits, it would be even more impossible.

"Could it be that a Grandmaster of the Celestial Realm intervened? Who killed them?" Rexxar couldn't help but ask.

As half-step Celestials, Rhine and his two companions could not guarantee a kill against any of them, even if he and Twilight Shadow Michael joined forces. After all, at their level, their physical attributes and martial arts skills were similar, making it easy to determine a winner. However, if one side wanted to escape, given that both sides had similar speeds, a single exchange of blows would easily create distance and allow them to quickly escape.

Therefore, there are only two situations in which a half-step Celestial Being can be killed: one is being surrounded and killed by multiple half-step Celestial Beings, and the other is when a Celestial Being Grandmaster takes action.

Although Rhine and the other two were half-step Celestials, their strength was only average among half-step Celestials. They were quite different from the Storm Child Tania, Twilight Shadow Michael, and Heavenly Beast Gaia in terms of combat level, especially in terms of controlling external energy. The three of them could mobilize the surrounding energy for their own use with a wave of their hand, unlike the others who could only barely use it to maintain their blood and qi phantoms.

The most common attack method is to attack directly with a phantom, which is still somewhat inferior to a real sequence transcendent-level martial skill. However, the three of them, Twilight Shadow Mishalu, can quickly use a complete sequence transcendent-level martial skill attack. Moreover, each of the three has a trump card, and they can even go through more than a dozen moves with a Celestial Realm Grandmaster.

The Red Moon Merchant Guild has already investigated the situation of the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy very thoroughly. There are at most two people at the Blood Condensation Realm: the academy master Lin Qi and Ino, who manages Red Moon Town. There is no Half-Step Celestial Realm. Otherwise, the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy wouldn't have needed to fight at the Red Moon Auction. Once a Half-Step Celestial Realm appears, who would dare to act recklessly?

With no half-step Celestial Realm cultivators at the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy, it's clearly impossible for multiple half-step Celestial Realm cultivators to besiege Rhine and his group. The only remaining possibility is a Celestial Realm Grandmaster.

"According to the information we received, no Celestial Grandmaster was involved. Instead, a gray-robed disciple at the Bone Forging Realm of the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy was killed. The person who sent the message didn't elaborate on the details," the elder of the half-beast race explained. "Young Master Rexxar, we'd better hurry up and leave. If that gray-robed disciple gets here, it will be difficult for us to leave!"

Although the Sky Stronghold has received support, they currently hold an absolute advantage on the battlefield. The support will take time to arrive at its destinations, which presents them with a good opportunity to escape.

"Killed by a gray-robed disciple of the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy at the Bone Forging Realm? How is that possible!" Upon hearing this, Rexxar's body stiffened involuntarily, and he was almost struck by Xiao Yuan's frantic attack while she was entangled with him.

However, before Rexxar could recover from this shocking news, Lu Fanchen, who stepped off the flying transport vehicle, suddenly surged with energy. A ball of energy, like flames, enveloped Lu Fanchen, making the surrounding space somewhat blurry.

With a single step, Lu Fanchen transformed into a shooting star and hurtled towards the nearest Twilight Shadow, Misha Lu.

"Are we going to have to do it again?" Fang Zhen couldn't help but sigh when he saw this.

"Again?" Upon hearing Fang Zhen's exclamation, Yi Ye Fu Yun was puzzled. "Old Zhen, what do you mean by this?"

Just as Fang Zhen was about to reply, Lu Fanchen arrived in front of the giant arm formed by Twilight Shadow Mishalu. With a wave of his hand, numerous illusory spheres of qi and blood, each over two hundred meters long, began to spin and intertwine rapidly, transforming into a distorted ball of light with a radius of over ten meters, which then hurled towards Twilight Shadow Mishalu.

Ultimate Extraordinary Martial Skill: Starburst!

This attack sent alarm bells through the mind of Misha Lu, who was still fighting Ye Qinglu. She turned around and clasped her hands together. Countless eyes on the phantom arm opened, causing the free energy within a radius of several kilometers to be absorbed into these eyes at that moment.

The previously illusory arm became much more solid, completely losing its illusory feel, like a semi-transparent piece of glass, which slapped down on the incoming ball of light.

boom!
In an instant, the giant arm and the ball of light exploded simultaneously, turning the originally dark mountain range into a small sun with a radius of hundreds of meters in mid-air, illuminating an area of ​​tens of kilometers as if it were daytime. The center of the explosion even sent away Blood Condensation Realm warriors within a two-kilometer radius, and none of the Bone Forging Realm warriors survived.

"How can this be!"

Rexxar stared at the scene, his eyes practically bulging out of their sockets.

Such a terrifying attack would surely kill him even if he took it head-on. Clearly, the power of this attack was no longer at the level of a half-step Celestial Being, but was absolutely comparable to the attack of a Celestial Being Grandmaster.

Moreover, after the dazzling light dissipated, the two people standing in mid-air, the gray-robed disciple of the Obsidian Martial Arts School was completely unharmed, while the face of Twilight Shadow Misha was as pale as snow, clearly having exhausted a lot of energy from using that move.

Twilight Shadow Michael!
Who would believe that a master at the forbidden zone's half-step Celestial Realm, ranked fifth in the general consensus, would actually be at a disadvantage against a Bone Forging Realm disciple from the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy?
At this moment, not only was Rexxar dumbfounded, but even the others present, like Yi Ye Fu Yun, were speechless, looking at Lu Fanchen as if they were seeing a monster.

"Is he really the Brother Lu I know?" Yi Ye Fu Yun looked at Twilight Shadow Misha Lu, who had been repelled for the first time, and couldn't stop staring at Lu Fan Chen.

The players in the stronghold knew all too well how strong Twilight Shadow Mishalu was. Even when Ye Qinglu used Thousand Swords Diagram, a martial skill that had reached the level of the Super Limit, he could only fight against Twilight Shadow Mishalu. He was mostly suppressed by Twilight Shadow Mishalu's phantom and had to rely on his body to withstand the bombardment. After all, Super Limit martial skills consume a lot of energy and cannot be used continuously.

Only with Ye Qinglu's explosive power could he truly fight against Twilight Shadow Misharu.

Even so, in Yi Ye Fu Yun's opinion, it is already quite remarkable. It is definitely the peak of the game's combat power at present. After all, the big BOSS level Twilight Shadow Michael is obviously not on the same level as the Blood Condensation Realm BOSS.

But now, with just one move, Lu Fanchen has clearly put Twilight Shadow Mishalu, who has used her trump card, at a disadvantage. His combat power is simply heaven-defying.

"He didn't die from that attack. Your boss is pretty strong." Fang Zhen, who was not far away, was slightly surprised when he saw this.

Upon hearing Fang Zhen's words, Yi Ye Fu Yun and the others all wanted to refute him.

What does "very strong" mean?

He's obviously super strong!
If Ye Qinglu hadn't withstood the attack thanks to his body, which was at the second level of the Body Strengthening Secret Technique, the entire stronghold would have been destroyed long ago.

However, what Yi Ye Fu Yun and the others did not know was that the two big bosses at the Machine God stronghold were both killed by Lu Fanchen one move at a time, right before Fang Zhen and the others' eyes. They passed away peacefully, leaving behind only two severely damaged Tier 3 weapons.

However, on the battlefield, compared to Fang Zhen and Yi Ye Fu Yun, the most surprised person was the pale-faced Twilight Shadow Misha Lu.

"Where did this monster come from?"

Misha Lu, the Shadow of Twilight, looked at Lu Fanchen with wary eyes, feeling that this world was too crazy.

Previously, the emergence of a monster like Ye Qinglu, who was at the Bone Forging Realm, was already surprising enough, but now an even more ruthless one has appeared.

The Blood Burning Secret Technique she obtained from the forbidden zone ruins not only allowed her physical attributes to soar across the board, but also enabled her physical strength to break through the 500-ton mark, not far from the true Celestial Realm's 600-ton limit.

In addition, it possesses a powerful secret technique that can directly elevate the used sequence of extraordinary martial arts to a higher level.

It was because she learned the Blood Burning Secret Technique that she gained the strength to fight against a Grandmaster of the Celestial Realm.

It's unbelievable that a martial artist at the Bone Forging Realm could be at a disadvantage against her full-force attack.

Surprised as they were, they still had to keep fighting. After all, a Bone Forging Realm martial artist was just a Bone Forging Realm martial artist. Their own blood and qi and their control over external energy were limited, and they simply couldn't support the continuous use of extraordinary martial arts techniques, let alone sequence extraordinary martial arts techniques.

Immediately, Twilight Shadow Misharu used the Blood Burning Secret Technique again, manipulating her solidified giant arm to strike out once more. Lu Fanchen didn't hesitate either, raising his hand once more to unleash the ultimate transcendent-level martial skill, Starburst.

boom!
A dazzling light rose again, illuminating an area of ​​dozens of kilometers. The two sides once again reenacted the scene from before, but this time, Twilight Shadow Misha Lu immediately used Sky-Piercing Hand, giving a Bone Forging Realm martial artist like Lu Fanchen no chance at all.

Lu Fanchen's blood and energy seemed to have hardly been depleted, and he raised his hand again, unleashing a Starburst attack.

boom!
boom!
boom!
The two sides exchanged blows several times, turning the land below into a desert spanning several kilometers, before finally ceasing their attack.

"Is this boss that strong? It can unleash so many powerful attacks in a row!"

Lu Fanchen looked at the Twilight Shadow Misha Lu opposite him, whose mouth and eyes were bleeding profusely. His face was also somewhat pale, and the thickness of the flame-like energy around him had been reduced to less than half a meter. He was also somewhat surprised.

Since he mastered the third level of the Body Strengthening Secret Technique, he quickly mastered the energy burst in a transcendent state, a skill that was also included in the Energy Secret Technique.

The energy burst in this extraordinary state is a kind of energy burning, which consumes a terrifying amount of energy stored in one's own cells. Even if one were lying in a pile of energy crystals, it would not be able to replenish it in a short period of time.

However, this state of energy burning can double the physical attributes of a person in a superhuman state.

Originally, the upper limit of his strength in the extraordinary state was 180 tons, but he can directly reach 360 tons, making his strength in the extraordinary state easily exceed 600 tons, a level that the Blood Condensation Realm cannot reach.

Moreover, having mastered the third level of the Body Strengthening Secret Technique, he not only had a clear perception of the surrounding energy, but he could also subtly manipulate the surrounding energy with his mind, allowing him to maintain the illusion of blood and qi for a long time.

While he was maintaining this extraordinary burning state, he should normally be invincible within the Blood Coagulation Realm, but he only managed to gain the upper hand against the Shadow of Twilight, which is truly unbelievable.

Meanwhile, the entire Sky Battlefield fell into a deathly silence after the two exchanged several blows, especially the Bone Forging Realm warriors and the Organ Refining Realm players, who were all stunned.

Compared to the others, the battle between the two was like a human nuclear weapon. After just a few exchanges, the area within several kilometers became a death zone. What were Bone Forging Realm warriors or Blood Condensation Realm warriors? Under such destructive power, they were nothing more than ants.

"What kind of medicine did Brother Lu take? He's too powerful! I feel like the BOSS is about to collapse!" Yi Ye Fu Yun looked at Twilight Shadow Misha Lu, who clearly couldn't hold on for much longer, and couldn't help but say with shining eyes.

The fight between the two was purely based on brute force, with no skill involved. Lu Fanchen managed to defeat the BOSS so easily; it would be a lie to say he wasn't envious.

“I guess he must have mastered the third level of the Body Strengthening Secret Technique.” Fang Zhen looked at Lu Fanchen, who was enveloped in flames, and analyzed, “There is a technique for energy burning recorded in the energy secret techniques we learn. I tried it before in my superhuman state, but because my body was not strong enough, I died the moment it burned. You need to master the third level of the Body Strengthening Secret Technique to withstand such energy burning.”

"I remember that the third level of the Body Strengthening Secret Technique is not something that can be practiced in the Bone Forging Realm. At least one must reach the Blood Condensation Realm to practice it. Did he actually succeed?" Yi Ye Fuyun was full of surprise.

His older sister, Ye Qinglu, had considered practicing the third level of the Body Strengthening Secret Technique, but the difficulty was too great, especially the idea of ​​using terrifying energy to destroy cells. At their current Bone Forging Realm, the energy intensity they could condense was simply insufficient, so they couldn't practice it at all. It was already a miracle that they could achieve the second level of perfection.

"He really hit the jackpot this time. Just the merit of killing a Blood Condensation Realm expert is probably enough to make him a lieutenant." Fang Zhen looked at Lu Fanchen with a sigh, but a hint of fighting spirit also ignited in his eyes. "However, his strength is only temporary. As long as we break through to the Blood Condensation Realm before him, we will only be stronger!"

Many players in the Bone Forging Realm nodded in agreement with Fang Zhen's words, and they were all eager to break through to the Blood Condensation Realm.

After exchanging three more blows with Lu Fanchen in mid-air, the Shadow of Twilight, Mishalu, used the impact and dazzling light to transform into a blur and fly towards the depths of the Mountain of the Dead, at a speed approaching that of a flying transport vehicle.

"You're running away now?"

Lu Fanchen, who was about to make a move, was stunned. He never expected that the big boss of the story battle would be so intelligent and escape so easily.

At this moment, not only Lu Fanchen and the players present were dumbfounded, but everyone from the three factions was also stunned, especially Rexxar in the crowd, whose eyes were wide open.

Twilight Shadow Michael!
A master ranked fifth in the half-step Celestial Realm of the Forbidden Zone!

At this moment, they were actually forced to flee by a Bone Forging Realm disciple from the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy. If this were told to others, even ghosts wouldn't believe it, but it happened right before their eyes.

"Young Master Rexxar, let's run! This mission has failed, and it will be too late if we don't escape now!" The orc elder shouted a reminder on his smartwatch almost immediately.

"Trying to escape in front of a group of Bone Forging Realm warriors?" Rexxar, regaining his senses, glanced at Fang Zhen and the others in mid-air, as well as Lu Fanchen. He gritted his teeth, used the Sequence Transcendent-level Footwork, and disappeared into the forest as several afterimages.

As Rexxar disappeared, the members of the three factions present finally realized what was happening and scattered in all directions.

With Twilight Shadow Michael as the strongest fighter, the outcome of the battle was already decided after his defeat. If he didn't escape, he would only be waiting to die.

"Damn it! Here we go again!"

Lu Fanchen watched the hundreds of Blood Condensation Realm cultivators fleeing and gritted his teeth as he charged toward the nearest Blood Condensation Realm cultivator. As for chasing Twilight Shadow Mishalu, that was simply impossible. Not to mention that he couldn't match Twilight Shadow Mishalu's speed, who was at the third level of the Sequence Transcendent Footwork Perfection Realm, killing a big boss like Twilight Shadow Mishalu was too much trouble. In that time, he would have killed several Blood Condensation Realm bosses.

In an instant, the entire Sky Stronghold launched a frenzied pursuit of the members of the three forces. After Lu Fanchen and his group had been chasing for a few minutes, they rushed to the Heavenly Might Stronghold to make another killing when they suddenly received news that the NPCs at the Heavenly Might Stronghold had begun to scatter inexplicably, indicating that this story battle had completely ended.

Tianhe District, Tianhe City.

Inside the magnificent arena, Shadow Tiger fought a fierce battle against an earth dragon that was over two or three hundred meters tall. The fight continued until Shadow Tiger unleashed a beam of light that shot into the sky, extending several kilometers into the air and slicing a gash over a hundred meters long into the earth dragon's body. Shadow Tiger then retreated to the safe zone, his face beaming with joy.

"I've finally mastered this sword technique to the third level!" Shadow Tiger looked at the heavily injured Earth Dragon in the distance, his eyes filled with excitement.

With one extraordinary fist technique already at its third level of perfection, and now another extraordinary sword technique at its third level of perfection, he only needs one more extraordinary footwork technique at its third level of perfection to break through his physical limits and achieve the status of a half-step Celestial.

Just as Shadow Tiger was still savoring the memory of his previous strike, a middle-aged human man with a stubble beard suddenly appeared beside him. This middle-aged, unrestrained man was no less powerful than Shadow Tiger, but he was already forty years old, a few years older than Shadow Tiger.

"Congratulations, Junior Brother Yinghu! You've already mastered the third level of another extraordinary martial skill so quickly!" The middle-aged, boisterous man said with great delight. "Now, you probably won't need three years to become a half-step Celestial, making you the youngest half-step Celestial in our Tianhe Domain City in decades!"

"You flatter me, senior brother." Yinghu couldn't help but smile.

The youngest half-step Celestial in Tianhe City was Rexxar, but now he finally has the opportunity to surpass Rexxar and become one of the most outstanding geniuses in Tianhe City.

"By the way, what brings Senior Brother Feilong here to see me?" Yinghu asked curiously.

As one of the peerless geniuses under his teacher's tutelage, Feilong had already mastered the third level of two extraordinary martial arts techniques half a year ago. He had been working hard to break through to the third extraordinary footwork technique. He was usually so busy that he could hardly find anyone and they could only meet once every few months. Now that he had come to see him, he would not believe that there was nothing wrong.

"It's nothing. I heard you have some connection with the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy." Feilong nodded, not hiding anything.

“I do have some cooperation with the Obsidian Martial Arts School.” Shadow Tiger looked at Flying Dragon with confusion. “Is there a problem with the Obsidian Martial Arts School?”

"No, not at all." Feilong looked around and came to Yinghu's side, speaking very quietly. "I just received some news that the Red Moon Merchant Guild, Smiling Skull, and Earth Star Pharmaceuticals recently sent nearly a thousand Blood Condensation Realm experts, along with several Half-Step Celestials, to attack the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy's stronghold in the Dead Mountain Range. As a result, the three were utterly defeated. Moreover, one of the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy's Bone Forging Realm disciples not only defeated Twilight Shadow Michael, but also scared Rexxar so much that he turned tail and ran. Now this news seems to have spread throughout the Four Domains, and I just wanted to confirm with you whether this is true?"
