I became a Sword Emperor in the Martial Arts World

Chapter 236 Did I kill your whole family or sleep with your mother?

That attack just now unleashed a burst of malevolent energy, its power reaching the fifth level of the Ascension Realm. The shockwave caused by the earth's core malevolent fire was something that even a master-level martial artist could not withstand.

The sudden deaths of his son and nephew devastated Wu Tianxi: "I want you dead!"

With a single slash, flames raged.

The martial arts technique Wu Tianxi practiced was called "Blazing Blade of Flowing Fire," and its ultimate move was a super-level martial art, a martial arts masterpiece that could lead to the realm of Martial Saint.

His martial arts true energy drew upon the earthly evil power beneath Blue Star, unleashing the might of a grandmaster. Countless fire evil energy tore through the earth's surface, surging forth and transforming into fiery blades that could burn mountains and boil seas.

Unfortunately, playing with fire in front of Ye Qingzhou was like showing off one's skills before an expert.

Despite the impact of Wu Tianxi's Fiery Blade, Ye Qingzhou's combat puppet not only remained unharmed, but its momentum even increased: "If this is all you've got, killing me would be as difficult as climbing to heaven."

After speaking, Ye Qingzhou's Fierce Bone Greatsword once again displayed its divine power.

The Nine Dragons Divine Fire truly lives up to its reputation as the most powerful fire-attribute mental image recorded in the "Blazing Sun Treasure Seal". With each of the nine divine fires that one refines, one's own strength will be greatly enhanced.

When only one or two types are refined, the increase in power is not obvious, because the power of this cultivation method increases in a quadratic sequence.

When there is only one type of divine fire, the multiplier is one.

When you possess two kinds of divine fire, the multiplier is four.

However, when using three types of divine fire, the multiplier becomes nine.

Following this logic, Ye Qingzhou has now refined five kinds of divine fire, increasing his power by a factor of twenty-five.

This powerful fiery energy was so strong that even the combat puppet No. 2, which was refined from Qiong Ao's corpse, could hardly withstand it, and its eight extraordinary meridians were constantly damaged.

If this continues, he will explode and die within fifteen minutes.

However, since it wasn't his own body, Ye Qingzhou had no scruples. At this moment, his sharp gaze fell on Wu Tianxi's Yuanling Battle Armor: "Even with the armor protecting you, how many of my sword strikes can you withstand?"

The Xuanjin Qilin Arm was the masterpiece of the Martial Saint Duan Qianfeng. It contained a small earth vein that produced an almost inexhaustible amount of earth core evil fire, which Ye Qingzhou could freely wield.

The malevolent energy circulated continuously within the combat puppet's body, causing its meridians and bones to operate beyond their limits, yet the resulting power was unbelievably immense.

Even though Wu Tianxi was a martial arts master at the fourth level of the Ascension Realm, he was forced to retreat step by step in front of Ye Qingzhou's Fire Sword Demon, and for a time he was overwhelmed and in a very sorry state.

"The Wu family has no enmity with the Qiongqi clan, so why are they being attacked?"

Wu Tianxi was extremely frustrated, completely bewildered, and felt incredibly depressed.

At the same time, what bothered him even more was that the Yuanling Battle Armor on his body kept issuing damage warnings.

"Yellow alert! Yellow alert! The armor damage rate has exceeded 30%!"

The nanobots have suffered extensive damage, and the armor's protection can no longer cover the entire body. Once the damage rate exceeds 60%, the warning will turn red.

By then, even vital areas will likely be difficult to protect.

"Tian Shu, help me!"

"Tian Shu Combat System Activating..."

"Applicant Wu Tianxi..."

"Identity confirmed..."

"Target locked..."

"Target confirmed. You have been authorized to use the Demon-Slaying Golden Crossbow. Open fire?"

"Fire!"

Wu Tianxi gave the order to fire without hesitation.

Two hundred kilometers away, a golden gun emplacement rapidly rose from the base, then turned its muzzle to face northwest. After a brief period of power storage, a golden streak of light pierced the night sky at forty times the speed of sound and sped away.

Fourteen seconds later, the 124-kilogram tungsten spear appeared out of nowhere.

Ye Qingzhou sensed danger in his sword heart, but how fast was forty times the speed of sound?

Even he didn't have time to react!

Boom~

The upper half of the combat puppet was blasted apart, and the huge kinetic energy impact sent Ye Qingzhou flying into the air. He crashed to the ground, creating a crater and raising a cloud of dust.

"Is he/she dead?"

Wu Tianxi was finally able to catch his breath, coughing up a few mouthfuls of blood, and circulating his martial arts true energy to repair his injuries.

He had just received more than a dozen sword strikes from Ye Qingzhou. Although he managed to withstand them all with the help of his famous sword, his body was still numb from the shock, leaving him with at least seven hidden injuries that required several days of rest.

Just when Wu Tianxi thought the battle was over, the battle puppet, whose body had been blasted in half, suddenly leaped up and slashed at his chest with a sword.

The sword light tore through the armor, and the fiery energy immediately invaded his meridians through the wound, beginning to burn his internal organs.

"what!"

In an instant, Wu Tianxi, feeling as if his internal organs were being burned and he was being tortured, let out a terrifying scream. In his horror, he once again called for help from the Tian Shu combat system.

"Tian Shu, help me!"

"You have no chance, die!"

The combat puppet, now only half its body remaining, was being driven by Ye Qingzhou to launch an extremely fierce attack on Wu Tianxi.

Burning his blood and qi, his whole body was engulfed in flames, displaying a fighting spirit of never giving up, and directly unleashing combat power close to the peak of the fifth level of the Ascension Realm.

Amidst the raging flames, the aftershocks of the battle between the two grandmaster-level experts tore the earth apart, leaving the entire Wu family compound completely destroyed, with only a crater the size of a football field and scorching red lava remaining on the ground.

clang clang ~

With three consecutive sword strikes, Ye Qingzhou used his Heavenly Eye to see through phenomena and discern the internal structure of the famous sword in Wu Tianxi's hand, and found its weak point.

The first strike cracked the blade.

The second sword strike shattered the blade.

The third sword strike severely wounded Wu Tianxi, causing him to fall to the ground and destroying his armor.

Fourteen seconds passed in the blink of an eye. The second Golden Crossbow of Annihilation struck again. The moment Ye Qingzhou sensed the danger, he only had time to throw the Fierce Bone Greatsword in his hand before the other half of his body was blasted to pieces, leaving only a lone Qilin arm flying into the air.

puff~

The Fierce Bone Greatsword pierced through his heart. Wu Tianxi, who was already severely injured, was now on the verge of death. He felt extremely aggrieved and glared at the battle puppet that had been blasted into pieces.

"What grudge do you hold against me that you'd rather die than not kill me? Did I kill your whole family or did I sleep with your mother?"

Blood gushed from Wu Tianxi's mouth.

Under the ravages of the five divine fires, his internal organs were damaged. Even with the physique of a martial arts master, he could not survive until rescue arrived.

"I hate it so much!"

In the end, his eyes went black, and he died with his eyes wide open.

Until the very last moment, he still couldn't understand why the Qiongqi warrior in front of him would risk his life and go crazy trying to kill him.

A moment later, Wu Tianxi, who should have been dead, suddenly opened his eyes and stood up.

However, he was not resurrected at this time, but was possessed by Ye Qingzhou's ghost.

"Not bad, not bad. We lost a master-level puppet but gained a grandmaster-level puppet. No matter how you look at it, this is a good deal."

Before taking control of Wu Tianxi's corpse and leaving, Ye Qingzhou made a point of retrieving the Qilin Arm and the Fierce Bone Sword that had fallen to the ground.

Ten minutes later, the local martial arts association members from Xining finally arrived. They stared blankly at the Wu family compound, which had been reduced to a sea of ​​lava and fire, completely bewildered.

…………

The plane arrived in Linjiang City and landed smoothly on the airport runway.

ding dong~ ding dong~

"You have new information..."

Ye Qingzhou removed her blindfold and pressed the answer button on her phone: "Hello, this is Ye Qingzhou."

"it's me."

Gu Minghui's voice came through the phone: "Just now, the Wu family was wiped out."

"Oh, is there such a good thing?"

Ye Qingzhou spoke in a nonchalant tone, as if he had only killed a few insignificant stray dogs on the roadside.

"Where are you?"

"I just got off the plane and took a nap. Is that okay?"

"..."

Gu Minghui was 100% certain that this matter was related to Ye Qingzhou, but he didn't know Wu Tianxi and naturally didn't intend to stand up for him.

"The Wu family comes from a military family, and the coexistence faction behind them is quite powerful in the Eastern Pole Kingdom. They may not act based on evidence, so you should be careful."

"How could you do this? This is a society governed by the rule of law!"

Ye Qingzhou protested loudly, his tone filled with righteous indignation.

Gu Minghui was speechless, inwardly cursing: When you wiped out the entire Wu family, why didn't you mention the rule of law?

"In short, be careful. If things get really bad, you can come to me. The Tianji Research Institute can still protect you."

Ye Qingzhou could tell that Gu Minghui was trying to win him over on behalf of the martial arts faction, so he didn't refuse: "Okay, if I really can't hold on, I'll definitely run away and come to you for help."

After hanging up the communication, Ye Qingzhou fell into thought: "It seems that the Eastern Pole Kingdom is not a monolithic entity either. There are militant factions and coexistence factions. The civilization of Blue Star is on the verge of extinction, yet they are still busy fighting among themselves. The worst aspects of human nature."

However, compared to other countries, Dongji is already considered to have backbone.

At least for now, the militant faction is still in power in Dongji Country, and they are fully prepared for war.

As for the other nations of Blue Star, apart from the Northern Alliance, they have basically all surrendered and conceded defeat. Not only that, they are also trying to sabotage the Eastern Extremity Kingdom and curry favor with the enemy.

If one is concerned about their own safety, joining the coexistence faction is actually the most rational choice.

"But my knees are too stiff, I can't kneel down."

In an instant, Ye Qingzhou made his choice: "Even if it's just for myself, I will fight to the last moment. My heart for the sword will never bend."

Outside the airport, Butler Liang Bo personally drove to pick them up.

As soon as he entered the house, a small figure rushed over and jumped into Ye Qingzhou's arms. Who else could it be but the adorable Xiao You Ruo?

At the same time, Yingyue, dressed in a dark blue dragon-patterned cheongsam, walked over gracefully and took Ye Qingzhou's arm with practiced ease: "My lord, you've finally returned."

"Has anything happened at home in the last two months?"

"no."

"How's Xiaoyou Ruo doing at school? Did she eat any of her teachers or classmates?"

"No, she's very popular at school, and everyone takes good care of her."

Upon inquiry, Ye Qingzhou learned that You Ruo's school was a private middle school, which could be entered by paying money, and most of the children there were either rich or noble, with some students' parents even being members of the Linjiang Chamber of Commerce.

After the school informed You Ruo of her relationship with Ye Qingzhou, anyone with a sound mind wouldn't come looking for trouble.

"It's good to have power and influence; everyone you meet is a good person."

Ye Qingzhou said with deep emotion.

He recalled his experiences in the orphanage in his previous life. He could only say that the poor are the group most vulnerable to the world's malice. Many people he encountered in his life were ill-intentioned, and at the very least, they would show him all kinds of disdain and coldness.

But once you become rich and successful, the people around you will immediately put on a smiling face, and you will no longer be surrounded by malice and cold looks, but by flowers and applause.

Ye Qingzhou's status in Linjiang City is now quite extraordinary. His master-level combat strength confirms his identity as a martial arts prodigy, and his future is destined to be limitless.

Therefore, those surrounding him were mostly people offering flattery and fawning.

Ye Qingzhou didn't care about this.

Yingyue personally brewed a pot of tea for Ye Qingzhou and asked softly, "My lord, how was your trip?"

"What I was looking for, I couldn't find."

Ye Qingzhou picked up the teacup, took a sip, and let the aroma of the tea linger on his tongue: "However, the harvest was quite fruitful, and the trip was worthwhile."

Although the whereabouts of the Holy Sword Xuanyuan are still unknown, Ye Qingzhou returned from Kunlun Cave Heaven with a full harvest. Among the most important treasures was the Flying Frost Sword, which had been reforged and was barely refined to the level of a divine weapon.

It's just that the sword soul is still very weak because only one-fifth of the God of War's soul has been absorbed, and it needs to recuperate for a while.

Secondly, there are the five-colored divine stones.

This is a cosmic treasure that surpasses even the rarest natural materials, a rare gem that would even tempt a tenth-realm martial god.

"Yingyue, protect me."

"Yes, my lord."

With Yingyue guarding outside, Ye Qingzhou took out the Five-Colored Divine Stone and began to study it carefully.

Ye Qingzhou activated his Heavenly Eye and immediately saw the internal structure of the Five-Colored Divine Stone. He couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, "Indeed, the Divine Stone is the crystallization of the five elements, a supreme treasure of the primordial state."

Upon looking directly at the five-colored divine stone, a divine light emanated from it, and the five elements circulated. Ye Qingzhou felt as if time and space were being distorted.

"It's truly incredible that the five innate energies can be used in such a way."

Ye Qingzhou's eyes shone brightly, and his mind was shaken. It was as if he could glimpse the vast power of the ancient goddess Nuwa from this five-colored divine stone.

Even just getting a glimpse of the whole picture through a small tube is far more efficient than blindly groping around like a headless fly.

In particular, the ingenious application of the five innate energies broadened Ye Qingzhou's horizons.

Previously, he had cultivated the Five Elements to the Origin, and thought that his understanding of the Five Elements was profound enough. He had mastered the principles of mutual generation and mutual restraint of the Five Elements, and even cultivated the Five-Colored Divine Light, a peerless divine power that could break through all laws with a single sword.

But now, compared to the Yin Empress Nuwa, Ye Qingzhou realized that there are always people more capable than oneself, and heavens beyond heavens.

"The five elements are: metal (representing change and transformation), wood (representing bending and straightening), water (representing downward flow), fire (representing upward movement), and earth (representing cultivation and harvest). These attributes are merely their outward manifestations. The true core of the five elements is actually the five states that all things exhibit in the process of change."

"Yin and Yang on Earth transform and generate endlessly, thus giving rise to the Five Elements of Earth, which give rise to all things. The Five Elements contain the changes of Yin and Yang, and by mastering these changes, one can go against the current and trace back to the origin of the laws—the Great Dao."

Time and space are both manifestations of the rules of the Great Dao.

The Tao gives rise to Yin and Yang, and Yin and Yang give rise to the Five Elements. Therefore, theoretically, through the Five Elements of the Primordial Qi, it is possible to trace back to the source, reach the origin of the laws, touch the Great Tao, and thus grasp the essence of time and space.

Soon, Ye Qingzhou became completely engrossed in it.

In order to further explore the secrets contained within the Five-Colored Divine Stone, he risked great danger, using the method of spiritual travel to leave his body and enter it.

The moment Ye Qingzhou's mind and consciousness entered the Five-Colored Divine Stone, his vision went white, and his consciousness instantly entered a wondrous world.

Here, space is infinite and time is endless, as if it were a primordial state before the creation of heaven and earth.

"Where am I?"

Ye Qingzhou's consciousness was completely lost within it, and he couldn't even find a way to leave.

Darkness and deathly silence almost swallowed his will, but fortunately Ye Qingzhou had long since forged a flawless sword heart, with a bright and clear light in his soul, and a mind that never wavered, making him immune to all negative emotions.

The brilliant sword light illuminated the surrounding darkness. After an unknown amount of time, a man's voice finally rang in Ye Qingzhou's ears: "You're early."

"What do you mean, 'arrived early'?"

Ye Qingzhou asked, puzzled.

Then, his consciousness was drawn by a strange force, traversing an unknown distance, before being pulled into a vibrant planet in the void.

Here, there is finally light and vibrant colors, and the air is filled with the breath of life.

"Welcome to my country."

A man whose face was obscured appeared before Ye Qingzhou.

Strictly speaking, it was Ye Qingzhou who was summoned to his presence.

"Who are you?"

"The person who brought you from Earth to this blue planet."

"!!!"

Ye Qingzhou was greatly shocked.

Was my time travel not an accident, but someone else's scheme?

"Don't be nervous. I mean you no harm. In fact, strictly speaking, I should be considered your savior. Without me, you would already be dead on Earth, wouldn't you?"

"Who exactly are you?"

"I have had too many names and titles, but you can call me the Azure Emperor."

"The Azure Emperor Fuxi!"

Ye Qingzhou was taken aback upon hearing this. Among the Five Emperors, the Azure Emperor was the most mysterious and also the head of the Five Emperors. In ancient times, he was revered as the first of all kings.

The origin of civilization in the Eastern Pole Kingdom is none other than the Azure Emperor Fuxi!

"Where am I?"

Ye Qingzhou did not fully believe what the other party said and remained skeptical.

Fuxi saw through Ye Qingzhou's suspicion, but did not get angry: "This place is the Spirit Realm."

"The spirit world?"

"In terms of the technological civilization of today's Earth, you can think of this as a zero-dimensional space, where there is neither space nor matter, nothing at all, only pure consciousness."

The Azure Emperor then laughed and said, "I must say, you are very bold. You dared to enter the Spirit Realm before you had even cultivated your primordial spirit. If I hadn't left a mental mark on you, you would have surely died."
