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

Chapter 341 Are they also human?

"how come?"

Fan Yaoguang and the others stared at the long sword hanging high in the sky, like the sun, and could hardly believe their eyes.

Directly manipulating external objects with one's Qi and blood is something that even martial artists in the Bone Forging Realm, let alone those in the Blood Condensation Realm, can do. However, achieving precise control is very difficult. It is already difficult for a martial artist in the Blood Condensation Realm to separate dozens of streams of Qi and blood. Hundreds of streams of Qi and blood are simply a dream, let alone thousands.

This level of control is so advanced that even a Grandmaster of the Celestial Realm, whose brain has been tempered, would be considered to have mastered a thousand streams of blood and qi simultaneously, let alone a Blood Condensation Realm martial artist.

Simultaneously controlling three thousand longswords was something even Fan Yaoguang and Ke Xueli, both Grandmasters of the Celestial Realm, couldn't comprehend how Ye Qinglu managed it.

However, Fan Yaoguang and the others did not know that Ye Qinglu did not use her blood and qi to control the longsword, but rather used the force transformed from her blood and qi to control it. This was much more difficult and required much more power than simply using blood and qi to control it.

"Has my sister mastered it?" Yi Ye Fuyun looked at the three thousand longswords, a look of surprise on her face.

Although Ye Qinglu has advanced to the Blood Condensation Realm and can control a considerable number of longswords, he can only control a little over a thousand, and he can precisely control a thousand of them.

It is simply impossible to precisely control three thousand longswords.

Therefore, Ye Qinglu and Qianren Egui devised a new method to control a large number of longswords: the connection of forces. By using a single force to connect multiple longswords, one force can control multiple longswords.

While this requires a higher level of control over individual forces, it can significantly reduce the amount of force that needs to be distributed.

Over the past few days, Ye Qinglu has clearly mastered this manipulation method.

"Congeal!"

In mid-air, Ye Qinglu pointed one finger to the sky, and instantly a huge phantom more than two hundred meters tall appeared around him. The phantom had hundreds of arms, just like the legendary Thousand-Hand Guanyin.

"go with!"

Ye Qinglu glanced at the alien army in all directions and made a single gesture in the air.

In an instant, the hundred-handed phantom unleashed a barrage of lightning-infused punches at the three thousand longswords, and almost instantly, three thousand scorching beams of light scattered from mid-air.

Only then did the besieging alien army react and fight back with all their might. In particular, the five Grandmasters of the Celestial Realm formed phantoms that were over two hundred meters long, and unleashed extraordinary martial arts techniques.

boom! boom! boom!
At that moment, a deafening roar echoed across the sky, and the area within a radius of several kilometers was reduced to wasteland by the impact.

Even after the explosion ended and the dust settled, the players, who were seasoned veterans, were still in awe. As for Fan Yaoguang and the other crew members, they were speechless with astonishment.

The surrounding green hills and clear waters, mountains and ravines, have now all turned into desert within a visible range. The earth is riddled with holes and has sunk dozens of meters, turning the place where everyone was standing into a mountain.

As for the original 3,000-plus alien army that had been besieging them, at this moment, apart from the hundreds of aliens standing next to the five Celestial Realm aliens who were unharmed, the rest of the aliens had their bodies pierced through and were lying on the ground, dead beyond any hope of survival.

The five Celestial Realm beings exchanged glances, their gazes turning colder as they attacked Ye Qinglu almost simultaneously.

The five Celestial Realm anomalies unleashed their attacks, some slashing, some bombarding. Though simple, their power was immense. Especially with the blessing of the Celestial Realm Grandmaster's blood and qi, the power of their martial arts techniques rose to a whole new level, far surpassing the third level of ordinary extraordinary martial arts techniques.

"not good!"

Upon seeing this, Fan Yaoguang also manifested a phantom image over two hundred meters tall and quickly made a move to block it.

Five Celestial Realm experts joined forces to attack, especially since one of them was a high-level Celestial Realm expert. Even if he used his latest armor to defend with all his might, he couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't be seriously injured. If it were a Blood Condensation Realm warrior, he would definitely be dead.

In mid-air, the attack of the high-level Celestial Realm alien was deflected by Fan Yaoguang's attack. The attacks of the other four Celestial Realm aliens, including the attack of the mid-level Celestial Realm alien, were neutralized by the clash of the thousand longswords controlled by Ye Qinglu. The attacks of the remaining three Celestial Realm aliens all struck Ye Qinglu.

Ye Qinglu was struck on the ground like a cannonball, creating a crater tens of meters deep. The attack from the three Celestial Realm beings also left several rifts extending for kilometers above the crater.

"Damn it! This is it."

Fan Yaoguang frowned deeply, feeling immense self-reproach.

Originally, he should have immediately ordered his adjutant, Ke Xueli, to join him in blocking the high- and mid-level Celestial Realm aliens. Given Ye Qinglu's demonstrated strength, and the fact that he could easily hold off the other three low-level Celestial Realm aliens, they could have easily fought against this army of aliens.

But now that Ye Qinglu is dead, even if he and Ke Xueli can hold off the high-level and mid-level Celestial Realm aliens, the others no longer have the power to fight against the three low-level Celestial Realm aliens.

Meanwhile, the five Celestial Realm anomalies in mid-air smiled again, all looking at Fan Yaoguang, the only high-level Celestial Realm master present. Their eyes were filled with unusual excitement, as if they were seeing a rare delicacy, and they couldn't help but lick their lips.

However, just as the five Celestial Realm aberrations were about to take further action, the sound of falling rocks coming from the meteorite crater made Fan Yaoguang and the others, including the five Celestial Realm aberrations, all look towards the meteorite crater.

"Is she okay?"

Fan Yaoguang was stunned as he watched Ye Qinglu slowly emerge from the pile of rubble.

Even with his latest armor, he would be seriously injured by the attacks of three early-stage Grandmasters of the Celestial Realm. Even with a Grandmaster's recovery ability, it would take some time to recover. If it were a severe injury like a severed limb, it would take several days to fully recover.

Ye Qinglu, however, suffered no minor injuries whatsoever. At most, she had some scrapes and bruises, which were visibly healing.

"That really hurts. It seems I need to practice more body-strengthening techniques in the future and reach the third level of perfection as soon as possible." Ye Qinglu patted the dust off his body, looked at the three early-stage Celestial Realm aliens in mid-air, and raised a finger.

Instantly, three sword lotuses composed of thousands of longswords appeared in mid-air, and the hundred-handed phantom struck directly at them. Boom!
The three sword lotuses shot out thousands of rays of light directly at the three early-stage Celestial Realm aliens. The light converged at a single point, and the power made the space itself seem to distort.

Three early-stage Celestial Realm beings immediately tried to block it, but even with the support of Grandmaster's blood and qi, their extraordinary martial arts techniques only managed to hold out for a moment before being pierced by the light.

The three early-stage Celestial Realm aliens were severely injured on the spot. Some lost their arms and legs, while others had half of their abdomens pierced. Although they would not die due to their Grandmaster-level vitality and would only need a few days to recover, their combat strength had been significantly affected.

"A mere Blood Condensation Realm cultivator possesses power approaching that of a high-level Celestial Realm cultivator?" Fan Yaoguang exclaimed in astonishment as he looked at the three early-stage Celestial Realm anomalies who had been severely injured in an instant.

In the Sky Dome Sanctuary, a Blood Condensation Realm cultivator being able to contend against a Grandmaster at the initial stage of the Celestial Realm is something only a peerless genius, one in ten years, could accomplish.

A Blood Condensation Realm cultivator severely injuring three early-stage Celestial Realm Grandmasters with a single move is unprecedented, even in the history of the Sky Dome Sanctuary.

However, before Fan Yaoguang and his crew could even be surprised, they saw dozens of Bone Forging Realm members of the Sky Guard Regiment suddenly surge in aura. Their clothes and hair moved without wind, and they were enveloped in a ball of energy. Although they were not as stunning as Ye Qinglu, the energy generated by dozens of them together made the earth tremble.

"Go! Don't let any of those outcasts escape!" Yi Ye Fuyun gave the order directly.

With a single command from Yi Ye Fu Yun, dozens of members of the Sky Guard Regiment charged towards hundreds of Blood Condensation Realm anomalies. They did not hesitate at all, as if the people in front of them were not hundreds of Blood Condensation Realm cultivators, but merely ants on the roadside.

"All members of the Dawn, listen to my command! Cooperate with the Obsidian Martial Arts School to kill these aliens!" If Fan Yaoguang doesn't eliminate these aliens quickly, they might escape and gather even more aliens, at which point they won't be able to escape.

With three early-stage Celestial Realm anomalies severely injured, this is the perfect opportunity to launch a counterattack.

No sooner had Fan Yaoguang given his orders than the Sky Guard Regiment members, who were engaged in a chaotic battle with the aliens, stunned Fan Yaoguang and his men.

The dozens of members of the Sky Guardian Regiment blended seamlessly into the hundreds of Blood Condensation Realm aberrations, completely disregarding the attacks of the high-level Blood Condensation Realm aberrations. They took a hit while simultaneously inflicting a severe injury on the high-level Blood Condensation Realm aberration, trading injury for life.

Dozens of people were like a meat grinder, slaughtering hundreds of Blood Condensation Realm aliens. These Blood Condensation Realm aliens could not even seriously injure dozens of people from the Sky Guard Regiment, let alone kill them. It was a completely one-sided battle.

For a moment, Fan Yaoguang and the others began to doubt whether Ye Qinglu and the others in front of them were really human.
It's one thing for Ye Qinglu, a Blood Condensation Realm cultivator, to be able to transform and possess astonishing combat power—after all, there are always geniuses in this world who defy common sense. But for all the Bone Forging Realm warriors in the Sky Guard to be able to transform and constantly overwhelm the Blood Condensation Realm anomalies, this is beyond the explanation of genius; it can only mean that they are not even the same species.

However, Fan Yaoguang and the others did not know that the current members of the Sky Guardian Corps could be said to be the most elite group of experts in the Sky Guardian Corps. The other hundreds of members who had ventured thousands of kilometers into the restricted area had long since died. Those who survived had all mastered the second level of the Body Strengthening Secret Technique and were all at the peak of the high-level Bone Forging Realm.

In his extraordinary state, he could remain undefeated even when facing a half-step Celestial Being, let alone dealing with a high-level Blood Condensation Realm martial artist.

Soon, most of the Blood Coagulation Realm aliens were dead. A low-level Celestial Realm alien with half of its abdomen missing was killed by Ye Qinglu and Yi Ye Fuyun. The two high-level and mid-level Celestial Realm aliens who had been fighting Fan Yaoguang and Ke Xueli turned around and ran away without saying a word, completely disregarding the lives of the other aliens. The other aliens, seeing this, also scattered and fled.

This scene surprised Fan Yaoguang and the others.

Although I've seen large armies of aliens flee before, this is the first time I've seen one flee so decisively.

Normally, when an alien army flees, it will be guided in an orderly manner to other alien companions, constantly increasing the strength of the alien army. To simply abandon it and only care about escaping is something even a captain like Fan Yaoguang has never seen before.

However, as Fan Yaoguang and the others followed Yiye Fuyun out of the restricted area, they finally understood why the alien army had fled so decisively.

From the edge of the Dead Mountain Range to the restricted area, spanning thousands of kilometers, their detection instruments could only detect a few scattered aliens, never any large groups of them. It was as if the alien army was blocked by an invisible barrier thousands of kilometers away.

As for seeing land that the aliens couldn't even set foot on, it was even more unbelievable to Fan Yaoguang and the others.

Since the Great Migration, aliens have been omnipresent in every place Fan Yaoguang and others know. If it weren't for a genius who discovered the technology to identify aliens hundreds of years ago, there wouldn't be shelters like these for people to live in.

Whether it's the Mountain of the Dead or the Misty Mountain region where the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy's headquarters, Crimson Moon Town, is located, as mentioned by A Leaf of Clouds, these are places that aliens simply cannot set foot in. This is something that Fan Yaoguang and the others have never seen or heard of before.

"Captain, this is absolutely the biggest discovery since the Great Transfer. Although the environment here is not ideal, there is no disturbance from aliens, and we don't have to worry about alien invasion. If we can get all the younger generation of our shelter to settle down here and grow and improve in peace, our Sky Shelter will probably see a significant increase in overall strength in just a few years, surpassing other shelters and obtaining more selection slots from the Temple." Sitting in the flying transport vehicle, Ke Shirley looked out at the vast land and couldn't help but say.

The crew members on the Dawn all nodded in agreement, their eyes filled with indescribable excitement.

I originally thought that the survivors, including Yi Ye Fu Yun, were living a difficult life in a small place. Since everyone was human, they would help each other and conduct some trade. They would get some resources from the Eastern Seventh District, while Yi Ye Fu Yun and the others would get weapons and equipment to fight against the aliens.

But to their surprise, the place where Yi Ye Fu Yun and the others lived was a pure land, and also a very vast one.

Providing them with a temporary rest stop is out of the question; even if we moved all the people from Sky Dome Shelter over, it would be a drop in the ocean.

However, it's impossible to move everyone here. Although the Pure Land is a Pure Land, the cultivation environment is too poor. At most, people who are not at the Bone Forging Realm can come here without worry and can safely cultivate to the Bone Forging Realm. Unlike people living in the shelter, who don't know when they will be corrupted and will be disposed of before they can cultivate to the Bone Forging Realm.

If the safety of the younger generation can be guaranteed, this would be a huge boost for a shelter. After all, less than one-fifth of the people in a shelter can grow up safely to adulthood. If all of these people grow up safely, the number of strong individuals will increase significantly.

As for the sanctuaries within the restricted area, there is more than just the Sky Dome. However, for a sanctuary to continue to exist, it needs to be strong enough to ensure its long-term prosperity. Among these, the selection quotas from the Temple are very important for producing more Celestial Realm experts. However, the number of Temple selection quotas is limited, and the younger generation of the sanctuaries must compete for these quotas themselves.

The more powerful the younger generation of a strong sanctuary, the more temple slots it can obtain. Conversely, the fewer and weaker the younger generation of a weak sanctuary, the less likely they are to obtain any temple slots at all.

"I understand what you mean." Fan Yaoguang looked at the excited crowd and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I will definitely have a good talk with the master of the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy about this matter. On the way here, I have already seen that the technological level of this Pure Land is not very good. There is not even a basic means of ultra-long-range communication. The weapons and armor are also very backward. The cultivation level may be due to environmental and technological issues. I heard that even Grandmasters of the Celestial Realm are extremely rare. I don't have to worry about the master being unwilling."

Upon hearing this, the adjutant, Ke Shirley, breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Although Fan Yaoguang is very strong, he is someone you can't be careless about. The Dawn has finally encountered a great opportunity. If you don't make a fortune from the Obsidian Martial Arts School, it would be a disservice to the scrapped Dawn.

While Fan Yaoguang and the crew of the Dawn were discussing how to make a fortune off these survivors, two flying transport vehicles slowly came to a stop on the roof of the Crimson Moon Building on Crimson Moon Mountain.
