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

"No wonder I felt unwell; it turns out this thing has reappeared on Earth!"

The man frowned slightly, then let out a soft exclamation.

This dark ruin, which resembled an apocalyptic natural disaster, seemed like an annoying little animal to the man.

As he lightly stomped his foot on the black ground, the darkness of the Dark Ruins let out a shrill scream, like a mouse whose tail had been stepped on by a cat, and then receded like a tide.

The man appeared right in front of Li Mo and his companions. Upon seeing his methods, Li Mo and the others couldn't help but gasp in shock.

For some reason, Li Mo felt that he was unfathomable.

To be honest, since joining the army, Li Mo has met several martial gods who represent the highest combat power of mankind.

It must be admitted that the power of the Martial Gods is indeed very strong. Moving mountains and filling seas, flying and escaping are all within their grasp. However, Li Mo can still have a general idea of ​​their strength.

But this person was different; Li Mo felt that he was unfathomable.

First of all, it's certain that he was able to repel the Dark Ruins, so he must have at least the strength of a Martial God.

But he looked too young, about the same age as Li Mo and the others. There could never be such a young martial god on Earth!

Just then, the man noticed Li Mo and the others behind him. He turned around, glanced at everyone, and finally fixed his gaze on Li Mo.

"Oh? Another ancient god has appeared. Interesting."

As he spoke, the man noticed the Emperor Shock Spear that Li Mo was holding.

Before Li Mo could react, the Emperor Shock Spear slipped from his hand and then flew into the man's hand.

He muttered to himself again, "General Yue handed the Emperor-Slaying Spear to you... I understand."

Li Mo looked somewhat embarrassed and slowly asked, "May I ask who you are?"

The man didn't reveal his identity, but instead returned the Emperor Shock Spear to Li Mo, then uttered a puzzling question: "Young man, wouldn't you like to kill this Dark Void beast with your own hands?"

Li Mo was speechless. What young man? This man looked about the same age as him.

However, considering that many Martial Gods possess the ability to restore their appearance, and that this man might be one of them, Li Mo could only reply, "You jest. How could I possibly be a match for Dark Ruins? Even Martial Gods find this opponent troublesome!"

Given Li Mo's current level of cultivation, the Martial God is practically a god-like existence.

To everyone's surprise, the man said, "If we're talking about dealing with the Dark Ruins, even the Martial God might not be stronger than you! I don't have much time, come with me!"

As he spoke, Li Mo felt a surge of energy coming from his body, and then he and the man flew up together.

Although the Dark Ruins had just been repelled by this man, it was not completely destroyed. It seemed to have suffered some serious injury and kept emitting miserable cries like a baby crying.

On the ground, Li Mo didn't feel much, but once he got into the air, he realized how vast the Dark Ruins were. As far as the eye could see, almost everything was covered in black mud, and most of the things in the Sumeru Secret Realm had been swallowed up by the black mud.

The man glanced down from the air and then pointed to a spot in the darkness.

"Look at that spot, what do you feel?"

At first, Li Mo didn't feel anything, but after calming down and paying close attention, he discovered that a strange fluctuation was emanating from the place the man was pointing to.

The fluctuation was very subtle, and given the sheer size of the Dark Ruins, Li Mo probably wouldn't have noticed this anomaly if the man hadn't pointed it out.

The man slowly said, "The Dark Ruins are composed of dark matter. They use dark energy to devour all matter and then convert the absorbed matter into their own dark energy. This is what makes them invincible! No form of attack can directly destroy their energy! Yet they can absorb matter!"

"Energy itself cannot be destroyed, but the place where energy is stored can. The place I just pointed to is the energy core of the Dark Ruins. Once it is destroyed, the Dark Ruins will turn into energyless dark matter! It will be no different from being dead! Try using the Emperor's Spear to destroy its energy core!"

Li Mo roughly understood what the man meant.

The energy core of Dark Ruins is equivalent to the human heart; destroying the heart will cause Dark Ruins to die.

The principle is simple, but the simpler the principle, the more people will understand it.

If destroying the energy core could annihilate the Dark Ruins, then so many martial gods wouldn't fear the Dark Ruins.

"Senior, please do it! Even the God of War couldn't withstand the Dark Ruins. Even if I knew its energy core, I'm afraid I still couldn't destroy it!"

The man shook his head, then a smile played on his lips. "Don't worry, you're different! An ordinary Martial God would need almost self-destructive-level divine soul power to destroy the energy core of the Dark Ruins, but you don't!"

The man's words made Li Mo doubtful, but in order to resolve the Dark Ruins as soon as possible, Li Mo still resolutely raised the Emperor Shock Spear.

Then he aimed at the energy core of the Dark Ruins and threw it with almost all the strength he could muster.

Compared to the vast Dark Ruins, Li Mo's spear was like a tiny star shining faintly among a sky full of stars, posing no threat whatsoever.

This gap is far more exaggerated than moths flying into a flame.

Li Mo himself didn't believe that his attack would have much effect on the Dark Ruins. However, just after the Emperor Shock Spear pierced the energy core of the Dark Ruins, the Dark Ruins, which covered hundreds of kilometers of land, emitted an astonishing sound!

Immediately afterwards, the vast darkness shattered like glass and then began to recede at an alarming rate!

Even the gloomy sky regained its light.

"Ding! Congratulations on defeating Dark Ruins! You have gained 200,000 Devouring Points!"

Upon hearing the system's notification, Li Mo's face was filled with disbelief.

He actually killed Dark Ruins!

This is someone even the God of War couldn't handle!

What exactly happened?

The man beside him also praised, "Not bad, not bad! No wonder Commander Yue entrusted the Emperor-Slaying Spear to you! The Great Xia Dynasty has a worthy successor!"

Judging from the man's voice, Li Mo gradually guessed his identity!

If he's right, this person is the true number one expert in the world, the only one who has surpassed the Martial God realm!

Regardless of the book, the materials, or the word of mouth, it is said that he has been missing for nearly two hundred years.

Over the course of these two hundred years, he has become a human legend and the only human hero recognized by the world's three major nations.

Chen Han!

Li Mo should have realized this long ago; there is only one person in the world who can deal with Dark Ruins!

Li Mo looked nervous and immediately clasped his hands in a fist salute to Chen Han.

"Li Mo, captain of the Silent Whisper Squad of the Tiger Legion, pays his respects to Marshal Chen!"
