High Martial Arts: First day of dropping out of school, reward: Devouring the Emperor's Body

There were almost no traces of large-scale gatherings of people throughout the entire forest area.

Eric was stunned. They had thought the enemy would be easy to find, but the final result was unexpected.

No trace of the enemy was found in the entire forest area.

"Could it be that the enemy has already escaped?" Gemu couldn't help but ask.

Eric shook his head: "That's impossible. In such a short time, a force of five thousand men, carrying so many heavy weapons and half a million kilograms of star crystals, how fast could they possibly run!"

"They must have some way of hiding themselves and erasing their traces! Since the drones aren't working, Gemu, it seems we'll have to go ourselves and scout out this forest area first!"

Eric and Gemu are both experts at the Heaven and Earth Realm. Apart from the Martial God, almost no one can pose a significant threat to them, so they plan to search the forest area themselves first.

Sometimes, technology is not as reliable as seeing with your own eyes!

"Listen up, everyone! You all stay here and wait. General Gemu and I are going there! When we return, everyone go into the forest and conduct a thorough search!"

"yes!"

After saying this, Gemu and Eric immediately took to the air and headed towards the vast forest area.

Soon, Li Mo and his group, who were scattered throughout the forest, saw the two Heaven and Earth Realm martial artists above them.

"Holy crap! He's actually at the Heaven and Earth Realm!" Xu Feng exclaimed in surprise. This level of martial artist was utterly overwhelming for them.

They were almost powerless to resist!

Originally, everyone was happy that Li Mo's plan to split the group into smaller units had allowed them to evade the enemy's drone reconnaissance, but now that they saw two martial artists at the Heaven and Earth Realm hovering in the sky, they were immediately terrified.

"Don't make a sound!"

"Don't make a sound, everyone lie down!"

"This forest is very dense; they won't be able to find us! Hide well!"

All the squad leaders began giving instructions to their team members, and they didn't dare to breathe loudly.

Fortunately, there were quite a few strange beasts in the forest, which concealed the presence of the vanguard brothers scattered in all directions.

Otherwise, they would probably be discovered by these two martial artists at the Heaven and Earth Realm very soon!

Despite everyone's best efforts to remain hidden, Gemu and Eric circled over the forest area, and the final result was exactly the same as the drone's search.

Nothing was gained!

This puzzled Eric even more. The other side was carrying so many weapons, plus hundreds of thousands of kilograms of star crystals. Such a large target could not have gone undetected unless it had directly burrowed underground.

Little did he know that Li Mo had already sent all the star crystals and heavy weapons back. Now, all the brothers in the vanguard battalion were only carrying the most basic individual combat equipment. Coupled with the plan to break up into smaller units, hiding in this forest couldn't be easier!

Gemu sighed, then glanced at the towering trees in the forest and said, "Forget it, I think the vanguard battalion has probably already escaped back! Let's go report to Marshal Morpheus!"

Eric was still unwilling to give up, and said in a deep voice, "We came out with an army of 100,000, we can't possibly go back empty-handed, can we? How are we going to explain this to Marshal Morpheus? This vanguard battalion first wiped out our medical unit, and then destroyed our mining area! I don't think they'll go back so easily!"

Eric looked down at the forest below and had already guessed part of Li Mo's plan.

"I think they must be in this woods. Let me give it a try!"

As he spoke, Eric suddenly paused, runes flowing across his dark skin, and the next second he unleashed a palm strike towards the forest below.

boom!

A deafening roar was heard, and then a palm print tens of kilometers in size instantly appeared in the forest below!

Within the area covered by the palm print, all birds and livestock perished!

Even a large, dense forest was completely wiped out!

Turn it to rubble!

This is the strength of a martial artist at the Heaven and Earth Realm!

It is called the Heaven and Earth Realm because martial artists who reach this realm can draw upon the power of heaven and earth. In terms of attack power alone, martial artists in the Heaven and Earth Realm are actually very close to those in the Martial God Realm.

Many martial artists at the Heaven and Earth Realm fail to reach the Martial God Realm because their spiritual cultivation is insufficient. Breaking through to the Martial God Realm requires sudden enlightenment; "If one hears the Dao in the morning, one can die content in the evening."

Many martial artists at the Heaven and Earth Realm do not have such an opportunity, which leads to them remaining at that level for their entire lives.

Although one's spiritual cultivation cannot advance, one's physical cultivation can continue to accumulate.

In other words, basic attributes. Many martial artists at the Heaven and Earth Realm have basic attributes comparable to those of a Martial God, so their attacks can also have an effect similar to that of a Martial God.

Eric is actually 130 years old this year. He reached the Heaven and Earth Realm when he was 90 years old and stayed in the Heaven and Earth Realm for more than 40 years, which is why his attack is so powerful.

Seeing this, everyone was stunned. They never expected that the enemy's Heaven and Earth Realm warrior would attack indiscriminately!

Eric's single palm strike just now killed at least fifty of the vanguard battalion's brothers. Li Mo said in a deep voice, "These two Heaven and Earth Realm warriors are not easy to deal with!"

As Li Mo was speaking, Eric struck out several more times in all directions, destroying large areas of forest and also meaning that many of his brothers died at Eric's hands.

Faced with this situation, all the brothers in the vanguard battalion remained silent, showing no fear whatsoever, preferring to die rather than reveal their positions and alert the enemy.

Eric was also puzzled: "Could my intuition be wrong? Are the vanguard troops really not here?"

With that, Eric delivered the final blow.

Unfortunately, the direction of that final palm strike was precisely where Li Mo was standing!

The most powerful attack from a martial artist at the Heaven and Earth Realm was about to strike, and everyone showed expressions of fear.

"Get out of the way!"

At this moment, Li Mo immediately stepped forward. If he didn't react, all the senior officers of the vanguard battalion would probably be wiped out by Eric!

Li Mo leaped into the air and landed on a large tree. Facing Eric's invincible palm strike, Li Mo made a bold decision.

He definitely couldn't withstand Eric's attack right now; even with the Heavenly Emperor Armor, his head would be shattered by that invincible palm strike.

So Li Mo made a bold decision: he took off the Heavenly Emperor Armor and threw it into the air to catch Eric's attack.

Then a miraculous scene unfolded: Eric's terrifying palm strike had no effect this time, and the forest he attacked remained completely intact.

Eric was completely bewildered. He couldn't figure out what was blocking his attack. Just as he was about to get closer to take a look, a beam of golden light suddenly shot towards him from the direction of his attack!
