I am a high-level martial arts master.

Cold, deathly silent!

The vast southern sky was contained within a small space.

The colossal hand, formed from the imperial dragon energy, completely covered everything, plunging the area into absolute darkness.

At this moment, within the Great Qing Dynasty of Zhongzhou, the boundless territory continuously contributed vast dragon energy.

The dragon energy on every inch of the mountains and rivers is like a surging, never-ending galaxy!

Spanning endless time and space, it supports Emperor Qing, who sits enthroned in the Golden Palace of Daqing, unleashing an extraordinary output far exceeding that of ordinary grandmasters! The Imperial Dragon Qi, the foundation of a nation and the convergence of the will of all people, shines brightly like the sun, its power overwhelming the universe!

At this moment, Emperor Qing activated it with a secret technique, and its power was approaching the legendary realm of a Martial Saint!

This is still under the condition of cross-domain operations.

If this were within the territory of Daqing, with the blessing of this almost inexhaustible dragon energy, even a Martial Saint would not be able to gain an advantage! Of course, such unbridled extraction and consumption of the imperial dragon energy would also cause enormous damage to the foundation of Daqing's national fortune.

The cost of recovery afterward is heavy, akin to waging a protracted war, requiring decades of recuperation.

However, for the sake of the seemingly legendary golden attribute on Ye Li's body, Emperor Qing believed that this price was worth it!

Under the overwhelming power of "earth-shattering" force, the black sphere composed of raging energy turbulence and countless grandmasters was firmly imprisoned within the palm of his hand. All struggles and resistance appeared pale and powerless before this absolute power that condensed the dragon energy of an entire continent.

Space was completely locked, and time seemed to stand still.

While it may not immediately cause the death of a Grandmaster, all the Grandmasters trapped inside will have no chance of escaping for the time being!

Emperor Qing gazed indifferently into the void, looking at the young man in blue robes protected by the moonlight shield at the core of the black sphere.

"This child should belong to Daqing!"

Emperor Qing felt no further turmoil, only a slight stirring of his mind.

That colossal hand, with its five hook-like fingers, was about to forcibly tear apart the moonlight shield that Shen Qinglian was struggling to maintain, and take Ye Lishe out!

Just at this critical moment

laugh! ! !

A flash of sword light!

A sword light so dazzling that words cannot describe it!

With extreme speed! With absolute decisiveness!

Suddenly, it lit up from the deep void in the north of the universe!

It was like a ray of light born before the creation of the world, or like the final annihilation that ended all ages of silence.

When the sword light first appeared, it was still beyond billions of stars; in the next instant, it had already slashed before the giant, sky-covering hand!

Severing Heaven's Decree! Nothing can withstand its power!

Sever space! Sever the laws! Sever the flow of energy! Sever the dragon vein!

Wherever the sword light passed, the vast imperial dragon energy that formed the giant palm dissipated like willow catkins in an instant!

That dragon-shaped palm, powerful enough to suppress a vast region, was actually torn apart by this sudden sword light!

Rumble!!!

The severed giant hand lost its support and instantly disintegrated.

The black sphere that had imprisoned countless grandmasters was freed and exploded with a roar!

A terrifying shockwave swept across the area, sending the masters who had just been freed from their restraints flying once again, making the scene even more chaotic.

"who!!!"

The illusory image of the Great Qing Emperor sitting upright suddenly trembled, and for the first time, a look of shock and anger appeared on his face, which had been as calm as an ancient well for ten thousand years!

This sword strike severed the giant dragon's palm, precisely blocking the transmission of dragon energy!

Very few people in the entire universe are capable of performing such a feat.

The Buddhist sect of the Western Regions? The Taoist sect of the Southern Border? The Kingdom of Ji, or perhaps the Kingdom of Yi...?

Emperor Qing did not dwell on the sword energy used by the other party.

Once you reach their level, you'll understand one method and then all methods; with that level of strength, wielding the Dao-entering sword technique is not difficult.

Before he could continue thinking, another completely different force intervened.

Almost at the same moment the sword light severed the giant hand, another giant, earthen-yellow hand ignored the spatial turbulence and reached directly towards Ye Li!

"Hmph! You coward, trying to fish in troubled waters!" Emperor Qing's anger intensified.

"Leave it for me!"

Although Emperor Qing was shocked and furious, he still acted swiftly.

The illusory image of the Golden Palace shone brightly, and the remaining imperial dragon energy transformed into nine golden dragons with flying scales and claws, roaring as they pounced on the giant hand of the Earth element! At the same time, the sword light that had severed the giant dragon energy hand did not dissipate.

Instead, it twisted in mid-air, transforming into a long rainbow, carrying the sharpness to annihilate all laws, and actually pierced straight at the wrist of that earthen hand! Clearly, the mysterious sword master did not want Ye Li to fall into the hands of others!

In an instant, the three forces collided violently in the small space above Ye Li's head!

boom!!!

This collision was far greater than any before!

An indescribable, destructive force erupted, tearing the already shattered Southern Sky into chaos!

Fragments of the laws scatter like glass, space is completely annihilated into void holes, and time loses its meaning within them.

But after a brief battle, all three parties tacitly stopped and headed towards the heavens.

The destructive power of a battle at the Martial Saint level is too great, causing the heavens and earth to collapse, which may directly incur the wrath of the heavens.

If Ye Li were killed on the spot, this forced action would be a losing proposition.

Three wills, drawing upon the devastating aftershocks of the collision, like a raging dragon whose head has been forcibly twisted, violently tore through the barrier of the universe and plunged into the cold, desolate chaos of the outer heavens!

boom!!!

In the primordial chaos, it seemed as if billions of stars were simultaneously extinguished, or as if a new world was being born from destruction.

An unimaginable, terrifying ripple traveled across the distant barriers of space and time, causing the entire universe to tremble slightly.

Countless creatures looked up in alarm, only to see the sky restored to normal but still bearing traces of its former fragility.

As the three terrorist groups left, an eerie stillness descended upon the scene.

But after a brief pause, the war resumed.

No one was willing to give up in their fight for Ye Li.

Due to the chaos of space and time, the entire celestial battlefield was completely disoriented.

The Tianhuan Immortal Sect, which was originally protected by the Huaguang Shield, appeared one by one on different battlefields, where they were held back by countless Grandmasters.

Within the radiant shield, witnessing the near-annihilation power of the outer heavens, he was almost speechless.

The aftershocks of a battle between Grandmasters at the peak of their cultivation were enough to kill them billions of times over, with some still remaining.

The master-level aura casually revealed by them caused fear to rise in Shen Fuyao's mind, and her legs gradually went weak. The other three also turned pale and became unsteady on their feet.

These disciples usually behaved normally in front of the sect elders, neither humble nor arrogant.

But only now did they realize that, faced with the overwhelming power of those grandmaster-level experts, they couldn't even stand up. Their legs trembled instinctively, and extreme fear naturally arose in their hearts.

Shen Fuyao looked at Ye Li for help, but saw that his expression was normal, and he was sitting cross-legged on the ground, which gave her a glimmer of hope. Could it be... that Ye Li has a way?

But meeting Shen Fuyao's gaze, Ye Li spread his hands and said:

"Senior sister, don't force yourself to stand. If you can't stand steadily, sit down and rest for a while."

"This is the aura of a grandmaster. Even I feel a little weak in the knees. It's more elegant to sit cross-legged."

Ye Li comforted everyone.

The four looked at Ye Li as if he were their pillar of support, but when they saw that even he said so, their faces immediately fell.

"What...what should we do?"

Gu Tianchen stared in horror at the scene outside the radiant moonlight that seemed to be causing the sky to collapse.

"We are like lambs to the slaughter right now."

"Don't be afraid, those people are here to capture Senior Brother Ye, they won't kill us," Luo Yuqing said, trying to remain calm.

Xiao Jue's face was grim; unable to remain calm in the face of a life-or-death crisis, he slowly said:

"It's hard to say. Maybe they'll only take away Senior Brother Ye, this peerless genius, and kill us casually. No, perhaps Junior Sister Fuyao's epic attribute can also save our lives."

"Fuyao?" Ye Li asked with a strange expression, "Isn't it Qinglian?"

Shen Fuyao looked anxious, pacing back and forth, and asked Ye Li, who had a calm expression, in a hurry:

"Oh dear! Why are you worrying about these things at a time like this? How are we supposed to get out of here?"

Ye Li waved his hand: "What can we do when a group of grandmasters are fighting?"

"Why think so much? Do you expect me to reach the Grandmaster level?"

"Even a fully-fledged Innate Realm cultivator can barely withstand one attack with their life, but what can a fully-fledged Grandmaster Realm cultivator do even if they want to?"

As Ye Li spoke, he, being the only one present with experience in fighting against a Grandmaster, understood the difficulties involved.

The mere possession of a dragon girl's remnant soul at the mid-stage of the Grandmaster realm was enough to drive him to the brink of life and death.

With this group of Grandmasters at the peak of their cultivation making their move, we can basically just wait to die.

The dragon girl within his soul also remained silent; the situation before them was almost a dead end, and life and death were practically out of their hands.

As he spoke, Ye Li used the [Gathering of Calamity Qi] technique to observe his own condition.

His luck was completely bleak, obscuring all good fortune and wealth.

When a person dies, all things come to an end; even the greatest fortune must be enjoyed while one is alive.

Even if they survive after being captured, they will surely be hypnotized and brainwashed into puppets by those powerful forces, with no way out.

Theoretically speaking, such a dangerous fortune should have been noticeable within the next few days.

But why didn't they want to observe it further?

He guessed that he had probably fallen into the trap of some martial artist, and that the person who knew he possessed this ability...

"Daqing... or even more than Daqing's husband..."

Ye Li narrowed his eyes slightly, his heart filled with murderous intent, but he could only silently lie in wait.

Seeing the crowd around him, who were as anxious as ants on a hot pan, he offered words of comfort:

"Don't panic, there's nothing we can do anyway. Why don't we pray? Pray that our sect elders will rescue us first?" "Pray... if prayer worked, what's the point of cultivation!"

Shen Fuyao said irritably, "What if it wasn't an elder or the sect leader? Master is fighting to the death outside, right now..."

"Then I'd rather risk my life than fall into their hands."

Ye Li spoke calmly, having experienced too many life-and-death ordeals along the way, and was quite composed at this moment.

But his words were dismissed by the four as the hysteria of a mentally ill person.

They don't even have the qualifications to fight to the death with a Grandmaster, and they can't even commit suicide in front of a Grandmaster.

Ye Li silently gazed at the scenery outside the protective barrier, his expression gradually turning cold.

Suddenly, a cold laugh came from outside the shield:

"When the clam and the oyster fight, the fisherman benefits; in the end, I got the scrap."

As the words were spoken, a grandmaster broke through the chaos and appeared before the water curtain of light, his eyes filled with greed.

In that instant, even Shen Fuyao's heart sank to the bottom, her face turning ashen white; the worst had finally happened.
