Body command feeding world

Within half an hour of the devastating news brought by the dying figure at the city gate, the atmosphere in the entire Rock City had become as still as death. The once bustling streets and alleys were now deserted; vendors packed up their stalls, doors were tightly shut, and pedestrians hurried along, their faces filled with fear. The air was no longer thick with the aroma of daily life, but rather with an inescapable sense of dread and unease. Dark clouds pressed down on the city, a chilling wind swirled, and the black mist from the western wilderness slowly spread like a tide, like a colossal beast that had blotted out the sky and was slowly opening its ferocious eyes.

Wu Weigang had just returned to Ping'an Inn and hadn't even settled down when there was a gentle knock on the door.

Two cultivators dressed in the black robes of the Evil Suppression Division stood outside the door. Their auras were calm, and their cultivation was above the Condensation Realm. Upon seeing Wu Wei, they immediately bowed and greeted him. Their tone was respectful but did not allow for any doubt: "Cultivator Wu Wei, the Division Master has ordered you to enter the main hall of the inner city immediately for a meeting. All those summoned are top-tier Evil Suppression Hunters from the outer city. There must be no mistake."

Wu Wei's eyes darkened slightly, and the premonition in his heart became clearer.

The fact that the Demon Suppression Division would go to such lengths, summoning all the prominent Demon Hunters and lone warriors from the outer city, was enough to show that the changes at the Black Bone Demon Nest had reached a point where they could no longer be concealed and concerned the life and death of the entire city. He didn't ask any further questions, nodded slightly, tightened his grip on his twin marrow artifacts, and quietly circulated his bone essence, covering his body with a faint, almost imperceptible layer of bone armor. Then, he followed two black-robed cultivators towards the inner city.

The inner city and the outer city are separated by only one wall, yet they are worlds apart.

The towering city walls, constructed of demon-suppressing mystic stones and engraved with ancient and intricate runes, constantly shimmer with a pale golden light, completely isolating the city from the hustle and bustle, malevolent energy, and chaos of the outer city. Stepping through the city gates, one finds wide, clean streets and magnificent, solemn buildings. The air is devoid of bloodshed and restlessness, only the faint fragrance of talismans and the tranquil serenity that comes after the malevolent energy has settled. Those who come and go are all cultivators from the Demon-Suppressing Division, disciples of sects, or noble families, their steps steady and their auras refined. Even with solemn expressions, they maintain order and dignity.

Wu Wei followed the guiding cultivator through the long street and arrived outside the main hall of the Evil Suppression Bureau.

The square was already packed with people.

There were lone hunters clad in animal skins, their bodies shrouded in malevolent aura; leaders of small to medium-sized mercenary groups wielding magical weapons and followed by several disciples; powerful body cultivators with immense energy and formidable physiques; and assassins lurking in the shadows, their auras unpredictable… a total of thirty or forty people, all renowned top figures in the outer city. Any one of them would be a force to be reckoned with in the outer city. At this moment, everyone gathered here, standing silently, their faces solemn. No one spoke loudly; only suppressed breathing filled the air.

Wu Wei stood at the end of the crowd, his twin marrow weapons concealed beneath his clothes, his aura restrained, like an inconspicuous rock, yet he still attracted considerable attention. Some recognized him as the ruthless man who had single-handedly slain the Purple List fiend a month ago and escaped unscathed; others were curious as to why such a young man was qualified to step into this council chamber that determined the fate of the entire city. But no one stepped forward to speak; everyone was waiting, waiting for the two truly powerful figures who controlled the fate of Rock City to appear inside the main hall.

Wu Wei closed his eyes and concentrated, his mind connected with the pivot, sensing the increasingly chaotic evil energy between heaven and earth, as well as the two vast and unfathomable auras deep within the main hall, and understood in his heart.

Something big is about to happen.

It was not a small-scale riot of evil spirits, nor a sporadic invasion of high-level evil spirits, but a catastrophic disaster capable of destroying the entire Rock City.

"Gentlemen, please enter the hall."

An aged yet majestic voice emanated from within the main hall, like the deep tolling of a bell, striking the ears of everyone present and invigorating their spirits.

No one dared to delay, and they entered the main hall one by one.

The main hall was extremely magnificent, with beams and pillars carved with evil-suppressing beasts, and the floor paved with white jade and black stone. On the high platform directly in front, two figures sat.

On the left is a man dressed in a purple-gold robe to suppress evil spirits. He has a square face and an imposing presence. His aura is as vast as the deep sea. Golden light flows between his eyes. He is Xiao Cangxuan, the chief of the Evil Department of Panshi City. He is the highest authority in Panshi City and his cultivation is unfathomable.

On the right was a man dressed in a blue and white cloud-patterned Taoist robe. He had a gaunt face, white hair and beard, and held a whisk. His aura was clear and sharp, like a hermit immortal. He was Qing Xuanzi, the resident elder of the Qingyun Sect. He was a powerful figure in the sect, with a respected position and strength far exceeding that of ordinary city experts.

The two sat upright on the high platform, their auras merging to form an invisible pressure that enveloped the entire hall, causing all the top experts from the outer city present to involuntarily hold their breath and feel awe.

This is absolute suppression in terms of realm, a height that mortals cannot reach.

"The reason I have summoned you all today is self-evident. You have all heard about what has happened outside the city," Xiao Cangxuan said slowly. His voice was not loud, but it clearly reached everyone's ears. His tone was heavy, with an undisguised solemnity. "The Black Bone Fiend Nest has undergone a major change."

These eight short characters, like a thunderclap, resounded throughout the hall.

Everyone's expression changed drastically. Even though they had already guessed it in their hearts, they still couldn't help but tremble when they heard the head of the Evil Suppression Division confirm it with his own ears.

The Black Bone Fiend Nest is one of the most ferocious, treacherous, and stable fiend nests in the Western Wilderness in the past hundred years. It is home to countless evil spirits and has been sealed by the Evil Suppression Division and the Azure Cloud Sect for many years. It has never experienced such a major upheaval before.

Qing Xuanzi held his whisk and flicked it lightly. His voice was clear and cold as he continued, "This is not an ordinary raging tide, but... the master of the Black Bone Fiend Nest, the Black Bone Fiend Lord, has awakened."

The Demon Lord!

These two words instantly silenced the entire hall, even the sound of breathing ceased.

The Lord of Fiends is the master of the fiends, a supreme being formed from the condensed fiend energy of heaven and earth. Born in the core of the fiend nest, it possesses intelligence and controls countless fierce fiends. Its terror far exceeds that of ordinary high-level fiends by hundreds or thousands of times.

"The first thing the Demon Lord does upon awakening is to devour blood and flesh to reshape its demonic body and stabilize its origin." Xiao Cangxuan's gaze swept over the crowd below the stage, his tone growing increasingly heavy. "And the hundreds of thousands of living beings in Rock City are the most succulent and convenient prey in its eyes."

"Rock City...is on the verge of collapse."

As soon as the words were spoken, everyone in the hall turned pale, as if they had fallen into an ice cave.

The blood and flesh of hundreds of thousands of lives meant that once the Fiend Lord led his horde to attack, the entire Rock City would be transformed into a living hell, and no one would be spared.

Someone stepped forward, trembling, their voice strained, and bowed, asking, "Master, Elder, may I ask... what is the cultivation level of that Black Bone Fiend Lord? Can we... withstand him?"

This is the question that everyone cares about most, and also the question that they fear most.

Xiao Cangxuan and Qing Xuanzi exchanged a glance, a hint of solemnity flashing in their eyes. After a moment of silence, Xiao Cangxuan slowly spoke, each word clear and distinct:

"The Black Bone Demon Lord's cultivation is slightly stronger than that of a martial arts master."

Martial Arts Master!

These three words stand like an insurmountable chasm before everyone.

A suppressed gasp erupted from inside the hall. Everyone turned pale, their eyes filled with despair and disbelief.

The Martial Body Master is a supreme realm that transcends the mortal physical body, the marrow-transforming artifact, and the Three Realms. It is an insurmountable barrier for mortals to cultivate, and is a true terrestrial immortal.

To make everyone understand just how deep this chasm was, Qing Xuanzi slowly stood up, his green robe fluttering even without wind.

The next moment, an unbelievable scene unfolded.

The pale blue mutated blood essence surged into his body like rivers flowing into the sea, then burst forth from his entire body, wrapping, shaping, and solidifying layer by layer on his skin—a layer of luminous armor condensed from blue flames slowly covered his entire body.

The armor was neither iron nor gold, neither solid nor illusory, but entirely formed from mutated azure blood essence flames interwoven with its own Daoist aura. The flames flowed like molten jade, the armor plates possessing clear and translucent outlines, their surfaces adorned with flame patterns resembling intertwined azure clouds and branches. Each plate burned with a restrained yet ferocious azure fire essence, incomparably powerful, impervious to all evil, and unharmed by any blade. Its radiance was gentle yet carried an unassailable majesty, possessing a fundamental difference in life level compared to the bone armor formed by mortal cultivators using bone essence, the iron armor forged from ordinary iron, and the magical armor refined from demonic weapons.

This is the Martial Body Armor, a symbol of blood essence transcending the mortal body and resonating with the Great Dao.

At the same time, Qing Xuanzi flicked his wrist, and the whisk in his hand suddenly transformed into a stream of azure flames, stretching, coalescing, and condensing in mid-air—a longsword entirely formed from azure flames, silently hovering before him. The sword's blade was as clear as burning jade, its cry as melodious as a phoenix's cry in the heavens. It had no physical form, no dullness of ordinary weapons, yet it contained terrifying power capable of burning mountains and boiling seas, annihilating all evil. With each flick of its flames, the air in the hall was sliced ​​apart, emitting a piercing, tearing sound.

This is a weapon of martial arts, a product of the unity of intention and Dao.

Flames transform into armor, flames transform into weapons, blood essence undergoes metamorphosis, mortal bodies attain enlightenment, a single movement changes the color of heaven and earth, a single strike causes all evil spirits to bow down.

This is the Martial Body Master.

The audience, including Wu Wei, were all dumbfounded, deeply shaken, and filled with extreme awe and reverence.

Among them, the strongest had only just entered the Condensation Weapon Realm, condensing marrow weapons and using bone marrow, blood essence, and bone essence to drive weapons. They were still trapped in mortal bodies, trapped in tangible weapons, and trapped in the Three Elements Realm.

The Martial Body Master has long transcended the mortal realm. His blood essence has undergone a transformation, his Dao flames have become weapons, and his flame armor protects him. He breathes in harmony with the Great Dao and resonates with the rules.

The gap between mortals and martial arts masters is like that between an ant and a dragon, a drop of water and the ocean, or ordinary iron and a divine weapon. It is an insurmountable chasm, a complete transformation of the level of life.

The Black Bone Demon Lord is even stronger than the Martial Body Master.

Everyone's hearts sank, and just as despair was about to overwhelm them, Xiao Cangxuan spoke up, stabilizing the situation:

"You need not despair. **Although the Fiend Lord is strong, he is not yet invincible.** Elder Qingxuan and I are both at the peak of the Martial Body Realm. It may be difficult for one of us to stand against the Fiend Lord alone; but if the two of us join forces, we can confront him head-on, restrain him, and protect the core of the great formation."

Upon hearing this, everyone's tense nerves relaxed slightly.

But Xiao Cangxuan's next words made the atmosphere sink again:

"The real calamity lies not in the Fiend Lord alone, but in the high-level Fiends under his command—their numbers far exceed any previous Fiend Tide, numbering in the hundreds and thousands, sweeping in from all sides. Once Elder Qingxuan and I are tied down by the Fiend Lord, we will be unable to spare any more resources. Once these high-level Fiends break through the defenses, the outer city, the inner city, the common people, the cultivators… will all be instantly submerged, leaving not a single blade of grass behind."

The real dead end is not that the city defenses will collapse at the first touch, but that the high-level evil spirits are like a surging tide, making it impossible to hold the line.

Despair once again overwhelmed everyone in the hall like a tidal wave.

Wu Wei stood in the crowd, his mind trembling. His eyes were fixed on Qing Xuanzi's blue flame armor and flaming longsword, feeling the extraordinary power emanating from him. An unprecedented sense of urgency and longing welled up in his heart.

He has now refined his marrow weapon, honed his three elements, and mastered his spear skills. He seems powerful, but in front of a martial arts master, he is still just an ordinary person and is still vulnerable.

To protect Ya Ya, to survive this catastrophe, and to withstand the terrifying Black Bone Fiend Lord and the endless high-level fiend tide, he must become stronger, break through the mortal realm, condense his body token, and step into the realm of martial body.

The Body Token is the core of the Martial Body Master, the proof of the fusion of the physical body and the Great Dao, and the key to transcending the mortal realm.

Just then, Shu's voice slowly resounded from the depths of his marrow sea, carrying a faint hint of disdain and indifference, yet every word was clear and struck straight to the source:

"There's no need to envy, much less look up to."

"The Heavenly Dao they cultivate is incomplete, bound by rules, and flawed."

"The physical body they condensed was also incomplete, their foundation was unstable, and their power was flawed. Even if they stepped into the Martial Body Realm, they would still be puppets of heaven and earth, unable to truly transcend."

"But you are different."

"You cultivate the three elements of blood, bone, and marrow, your origin is pure, and your Dao heart is flawless. With me guarding the depths of your origin, I will mend the flaws in the Heavenly Dao and forge a perfect foundation for you."

"When you condense your Body Token, it will be a perfect Body Token, without flaws, omissions, or regrets, far surpassing these so-called sect elders and evil-suppressing officials. You will truly achieve enlightenment through your physical body, impervious to all evil, and walk the Great Dao alone."

Shu's voice, calm yet filled with unparalleled confidence and certainty, was like a ray of light in the darkness, instantly illuminating Wu Wei's anxiety and confusion.

A perfect body, without flaws or omissions.

Wu Wei clenched his fists, his twin marrow organs trembling slightly, his heart burning with desire and anticipation like flames.

He no longer looked up at the martial arts techniques on the high platform, nor feared the seemingly insurmountable chasm, because he knew that his path was more righteous, purer, and more perfect than theirs.

Once he condenses his body seal, he will truly possess the power to protect everything.

On the high platform, Xiao Cangxuan and Qingxuanzi looked at the expressions of despair, awe, or trembling among the crowd below, sighed softly, and then began to set up a defensive line.

"Although the Black Bone Fiend Lord is powerful, he has not yet fully recovered his fiendish form, and the fiendish horde also needs time to regroup. We still have a chance to catch our breath." Xiao Cangxuan's voice was calm, suppressing the panic among the crowd. "The inner city will be guarded by all the elite troops of my Demon Suppression Division, with the rune array fully activated to resist the Fiend Lord and the core fiendish horde; the outer city..."

The mention of the outer city made everyone even more anxious.

The people in the outer city were mostly ordinary hunters, commoners, and rogue cultivators. The strongest among them were only at the Marrow Transformation Realm, and there were very few at the Condensation Realm. Faced with the boundless high-level evil tide, they had no power to resist at all, like lambs to the slaughter.

The realm of martial arts masters is a distant legend and an unimaginable myth to them; the gap is as vast as heaven and earth.

Seeing the people in the outer city living in constant fear, Qing Xuanzi gently waved his hand, his voice cool yet carrying a hint of reassurance:

"Please do not panic."

"The outer city will be fully defended by all disciples, elders, and formations of my Qingyun Sect stationed in the city. The Qingyun Locking Evil Formation will be set up to block high-level evil spirits, protect the people, and relieve the pressure on the inner city."

"With the Evil Suppression Division in the inner city and the Azure Cloud Sect in the outer city, Rock City will not fall easily."

These words were like a reassuring pill, calming the panicked hearts of everyone in the hall and restoring some color to their faces.

With the combined defenses of the Qingyun Sect and the Zhenxie Division, two top-tier forces, they at least had a glimmer of hope and the confidence to fight.

Xiao Cangxuan then assigned tasks, demarcated defense lines, allocated supplies, and secured the scouts. Everything proceeded in an orderly and efficient manner.

Half an hour later, the meeting ended, and everyone left the main hall one by one, returning to the outer city to prepare for the battle against the evil tide. The entire Rock City entered the highest level of alert.

Wu Wei did not leave immediately. After everyone had dispersed, he turned and walked towards the high platform. He bowed to Xiao Cangxuan and said in a sincere and urgent tone, "Master, I have a request."

Xiao Cangxuan looked at Wu Wei, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. He had already noticed this young man, who was so young yet possessed a calm demeanor and a restrained spear intent. He knew that Wu Wei was a newly promoted top expert in the outer city, and he was also aware that a mysterious child was with him.

"Please feel free to speak."

"I have a younger sister named Ya Ya. She is currently being cared for in an outer city shelter. She is young and frail and cannot withstand the fright, let alone the danger of the evil tide." Wu Wei's voice was earnest and his eyes were firm. "I implore the Lord to have mercy and allow me to move my younger sister into the inner city and place her under the protection of the Evil Suppression Division. I am willing to defend the line to the death to repay the Lord's great kindness."

Ya Ya was his only weakness, the person he had to protect no matter what. Even with the Qingyun Sect's defenses, the outer city was still fraught with danger; only the inner city, the core protected area of ​​the Zhenxie Division, was truly safe.

Looking at the determination and protectiveness in Wu Wei's eyes, Xiao Cangxuan remained silent for a moment, then slowly nodded, his voice authoritative yet carrying a hint of approval: "Agreed."

"Take my token and go to the shelter to bring the child into the inner city. Place him in the residence in the backyard of the Zhenxie Division, where he will be personally guarded by the inner city guards to ensure his safety."

As he spoke, Xiao Cangxuan raised his hand and waved it, sending out a purple-gold token that landed in Wu Wei's hand. On the token, the evil-suppressing patterns flowed, exuding boundless majesty.

"Thank you, Master!"

The huge weight that had been hanging over Wu Wei's heart finally lifted completely. He let out a long sigh of relief, bowed deeply to Xiao Cangxuan, and turned to leave quickly.

With Ya Ya safe, he had no more worries and could focus entirely on preparing for battle, honing his skills, and relentlessly striving towards that perfect form.

Stepping out of the main hall of the Evil Suppression Bureau, the dark clouds grew even thicker, and the black mist of the Western Wilderness had spread to the edge of the sky. The ferocious roars could be faintly heard, and the earth trembled slightly. A catastrophe that would sweep through the entire city was imminent.

Wu Wei gripped the purple-gold token in his hand, feeling the pulse of the double-edged marrow weapon in his arms. Blood essence, bone essence, and marrow power flowed steadily in his body, the power of the three elements became more and more condensed, and the spear intent became more and more sharp.

He showed no fear, only determination.

So what if he's the Black Bone Demon Lord? So what if he's in the Martial Body Realm? So what if he's a monstrous high-level demonic tide?

He possesses twin-edged marrow artifacts, a three-element Dao foundation, a pivotal companion, a perfect physique within reach, and people to protect.

With a great battle looming, he was ready.

Using blood as flames, burn away all evil;

Using bones as armor, guarding life and death;

Using marrow as a weapon, cleave through the heavens;

He set an example by his own conduct, thus ensuring a lifetime of peace and stability.

The wind in the Western Wilderness grew colder and colder, and the sky over Rock City grew darker and darker, but Wu Wei's eyes grew brighter and brighter, like the tip of a spear piercing the darkness, firm and fearless.
