In the world of martial arts, there is a vast fantasy world.

Chapter 299 How arrogant!

Without the Seven Realms Jade Talisman, Shen Xing might not have had the confidence to back up his game.

However, he is now full of confidence.

He merely sneered, gripped his long sword, and transformed into a dragon, charging straight towards the Sun and Moon Sword Puppet of the Sword Tomb Saint!

He had already realized that these three Sun Moon Sword Puppets were actually only at the early stage of the Sun Moon realm!

Becoming a sword puppet will enhance one's sword-based martial arts intent, but it will also negatively impact one's basic strength.

Shen Xing unleashed a full-force strike right from the start, and the entire sky seemed to be cleaved in two by this unparalleled strike!

Even the Holy Son of the Sword Tomb was filled with amazement at this moment.

He could actually sense that Shen Xing's strength, even after donning the armor, was far from reaching the true Sun and Moon Realm level.

However, this strike achieved its goal.

With the support of martial arts mastery and astonishing foundation, he is already enough to threaten even Sun and Moon level experts!

This fueled the burning passion in the heart of the Sword Tomb Saint.

It wasn't directed at Shen Xing, but at this divine armor!

Aside from puppet-type divine weapons, the most important factor in determining their power is whether they can truly unleash the user's strength.

This is why it is difficult for those in the Fifth Realm to use the divine weapons of the Sixth Realm.

This divine armor not only enhances the user's strength in all aspects, but also provides an equal or even stronger boost to the power of martial arts intent!

This is practically equivalent to significantly boosting the user's strength in every aspect!

This divine armor is enough to drive any martial artist in the world mad!

But what if there were Six Realms Divine Armor?

At this moment, the Holy Son of the Sword Tomb even made up his mind that he must get his hands on it.

Therefore, while bracing herself to deal with Shen Xing's attack, she didn't forget to speak.

"Brother Shen, you possess the divine will of the dragon. Even if you are not a dragon, you must be closely related to the dragon race." The Holy Son of the Sword Tomb spoke with a clear intention to win him over. "The world has undergone tremendous changes, a situation unprecedented in hundreds of thousands of years. People like us from the Holy Land should make more connections and learn more about it."

Shen Xing's hands continued moving, but his eyes were already narrowed in his mind.

From just that one sentence, he could tell that the other party indeed wanted something from him.

Is it because of the power behind him?

Or is it because of his own potential?

Or perhaps armor?

All three are possible; ultimately, his understanding of the Holy Land was too limited.

However, this also made Shen Xing more vigilant.

If they have something to ask for, it doesn't necessarily mean they will only try to win them over. Judging from the way the Sword Tomb Holy Land makes sword puppets, this Holy Land doesn't seem like a legitimate and upright place.

The fact that they took a month to arrive suggests they might have been preparing some kind of "killer move."

Shen Xing's many distracting thoughts vanished in an instant, and he sneered, "What Sword Tomb Holy Land? I've never heard of it. Does it even have an Eighth Realm expert?"

Even though the Sword Tomb Saint Son was in the form of a sword puppet, his pupils shrank at this moment.

"You have Great Sages?" He clearly couldn't contain his emotions, but quickly denied it. "No, impossible. Heh, your words expose your ignorance. Since the great upheaval ten thousand years ago, no Great Sages have ever been seen in the world. I think you're more like some lucky one who obtained the inheritance of a sacred land by chance!"

The Sword Tomb Saint was indeed terrified by the phrase "Eight Realms," but he quickly regained his composure.

In this day and age, there should be no Eight Realms that should exist.

But what if the other party really has the Eight Realms behind them?

Then we absolutely cannot let it go!

This Sword Tomb Saint directly gave orders to the other two.

"Use the Soul-Connecting Sword Domain!"

"yes!"

The so-called Soul-Connecting Sword Domain is an extremely profound and mysterious treasure, and it is extremely secretive to use because it directly affects the soul without making a sound.

The reason why the Sword Tomb Holy Land is called this name is itself a sign that it is not a righteous path of swordsmanship, and is therefore a tomb of swords.

At this moment, Shen Xing was also fighting to the point of madness, unleashing all his current power. Although he was still a step behind the Sword Tomb Saint in front of him, it was an unprecedentedly powerful experience for him.

It felt like I had returned to the time when I first learned about martial arts.

Even back then, he was already yearning for this day, yearning for this immense power concentrated within himself, for ultimate strength.

However, just as Shen Xing was enjoying this power, he suddenly felt a jolt, as if his vision had changed drastically. The entire world had become completely different, infinitely dark, with only countless broken sword blades scattered throughout the space.

Without the slightest hesitation, Shen Xing directly connected with the flying shuttle within his divine soul.

In an instant, his figure vanished from the spot.

Instead of returning to the Xuanlong Secret Realm, they went straight back to the spaceship.

Everything vanished without a trace, and everything returned to normal.

Shen Xing breathed a slight sigh of relief.

The opponent had indeed hidden some tricks, but it still didn't seem to be enough to stop his shuttle.

This saves us the trouble of using the Seven Realms Jade Talisman.

However, the strength of a true Sun and Moon Realm cultivator is truly formidable.

Shen Xing recalled the battle just now and couldn't help but be amazed. He had already given it his all, pushing his strength and the performance of his armor to the limit, but he was still clearly suppressed.

If the other party hadn't also been testing him, or even planning to use methods to restrict him, he probably would have already teleported away.

But this battle also confirmed Shen Xing's guess.

Once he reaches the late stage of the Mountain and Sea realm and his armor is further optimized, he will definitely have the power to fight the Sun and Moon forces head-on.

Furthermore, if the martial arts intent were to grow further, it would not just be at the initial stage of the Sun and Moon realm.

This kind of border crossing is already quite powerful.

However, after a moment of excitement, Shen Xing had to return to reality—at the current rate of efficiency, it would take at least twenty years to reach that point.

"In martial arts, besides competing, one must also be able to endure a long period of pursuit." Shen Xing seemed to have gained a new understanding.

So he calmed down and continued his spiritual practice.

but--

"Fire one faster-than-light missile," Shen Xing ordered immediately after returning to the Xuanlong Secret Realm.

The target is none other than the Sun and Moon Sword Puppet of the Sword Tomb Saint!

It's impossible for me to allow him to play dirty tricks on me while I can only silently endure it.

It can be said that, when locked on by the detection device, the faster-than-light missile is the nemesis of the sun and moon and the Grim Reaper in this world!

Beneath the mountains and seas, no one can escape!

That is indeed the case.

When the faster-than-light missile traversed hundreds of thousands of miles, striking the puppet of the Sword Tomb Saint with a streak of light across the sky, the Sword Tomb Saint's own expression also turned extremely gloomy.

There's no escaping it!

There's no way to avoid it.

This method seems simple, just extreme speed, but that speed is so terrifying that even saints cannot compare!

Perhaps a sage could block this attack by relying on his mastery of primordial energy and space, but the sun and moon could never stop it!

Even with the power of the seventh realm, such as a secret treasure, the result will be the same if it is not a perfect counter!

"How arrogant!" The Sword Tomb Saint spat out these words, then sneered, "So what if he destroyed a sword puppet? It's laughable. He's probably just a lucky guy who doesn't even know what a holy land is!"

The rest of the people around him were terrified.

Clearly, the Sword Tomb Saint was enraged.

Sword puppets are not easy to obtain; they not only require matching but also training and a long period of adjustment.

Not to mention the sword puppets of the Sun and Moon Realm!

In addition to the previous theft of Fiora, it can be considered both old and new grudges.

Sword Maiden, that's a sword puppet that can be trained to the seventh realm!

"Holy Son," a Sun-Moon Realm cultivator beside him suddenly said, cupping his hands, "Now that things have come to this, ordinary methods, even those with seventh-realm inscriptions, are probably insufficient to deal with this person."

"Exactly!" Sword Tomb Saint Son nodded, recalling the scene from before.

Even the Soul Sword Domain couldn't defeat the opponent.

However, he quickly laughed.

Even the Soul-Connecting Sword Domain couldn't do anything to him, which means that the treasure he possesses is probably extraordinary. Even a saint would be tempted by it!

"If any of the Supreme Elders emerge from seclusion, notify me," the Sword Tomb Saint Son instructed.

Then he began his own cultivation.

At this level, one's perception of time is different from that of ordinary people; even several years pass in the blink of an eye.

At this moment, Shen Xing was naturally unaware that he was at risk of being targeted by a sage.

He is currently digesting the various benefits that this battle has brought him.

Firstly, it allowed them to become familiar with their own strength; secondly, it validated the armor.

Currently, the armor is undergoing further improvements, and he continues his training.

However, while the improvement in cultivation level wasn't that fast, the development of the research institute did begin to accelerate.

During this period, a steady stream of people of all kinds have been sent into the spaceship. Each person has undergone strict screening. Although, given Shen Xing's current reputation and the current power of Mingwen Company, there must be quite a few undercover agents and spies among those sent over.

But I'll say it again.

Preventing undercover agents cannot rely on people's hearts, but on systems.

With proper systems in place, even undercover agents must work diligently.

You might even have to be more serious than others, otherwise you risk being eliminated.

In this context, the number of people in research institutes is also growing rapidly, and most of them are no longer students, but true elites from all walks of life.

However, Shen Xing's main focus was on nurturing those gifted students.

On the one hand, their potential is indeed excellent; on the other hand, their loyalty is guaranteed.

Although there are systems in place so that loyalty doesn't matter, those in core positions still need to be mindful of certain things.

During this process, Shen Xing also found a suitable candidate to design armor for himself.

He was a man named Hao Ran, 102 years old. He was not only a top mechanical expert who had designed the Seven Realms Armor, but also had the cultivation of the Fourth Realm Perfection. In terms of talent in cultivation, he even surpassed the principal of Linjiang School.

Moreover, he has an extremely high talent for learning and applying inscriptions.

From any perspective, this character can be considered an enhanced version of Xu Qing.

Putting aside other things.

If there are enough pills, it shouldn't be a big problem to quickly push him to the Mountain and Sea Realm. At that time, he will be able to learn the Five Realms Inscriptions, and designing armor for him will be much simpler.

However, despite having such thoughts, Shen Xing was not in a hurry.

He had another idea in mind.

Meanwhile, in the other world, surveillance of the Furnace Heaven Domain is being intensified.

Shen Xing used his growing wealth to purchase a large number of high-performance detection devices to conduct full-coverage monitoring of the entire outer perimeter of the Furnace Heaven Domain. Although he did not go to such an extreme degree inside in order to avoid alerting the enemy, he still conducted a considerable amount of monitoring.

The main purpose of surveillance is to find opportunities to enter through legitimate channels.

Because the obvious fact is that the new alchemists and weapon refiners in the Furnace Heaven Domain were clearly not born from within.

They are all exceptional talents, one in ten thousand, and only from outside could such a large number be gathered.

Although it's unclear how they managed to be so discreet that they went unnoticed, as long as surveillance is conducted, intelligence on personnel coming and going will eventually be found.

Shen Xing now has enough patience.

In any case, he won't be able to make any major breakthroughs anytime soon.

And so, time continued to pass as preparations were made on all sides.

The first year after breaking through to the Mountain and Sea realm passed quickly.

On the occasion of a traditional festival of the Human Federation, Shen Xing once again gathered with the important figures on the spaceship.

The spacecraft now houses over 100,000 people of all ages and backgrounds, and this is the result of meticulous refinement. Of course, compared to the size of the spacecraft, this number of people still seems quite empty.

However, Shen Xing was not in a hurry.

There are at least a decade or more to gradually fill in the gaps.

He was sitting with several acquaintances at the moment.

Nangong Jinyi, Hu An, and the others have all entered the Spirit Realm. Nangong Jinyi is still stronger. She has been in the Spirit Realm for two and a half years and is not far from the middle stage of the Spirit Realm.

After all, they were not lacking in elixirs.

Compared to Shen Xing, the only difference lies in the foundation of the Myriad Dragons Technique.

However, this gap in foundation will only widen over time, which is inevitable.

But compared to her original potential, she has made considerable progress.

At this moment, Nangong Jinyi had also drunk a little wine, and a blush appeared on her cheeks. Her temperament was even more outstanding. She said slowly, "I had some contact with Xue Yu a few days ago. She has also entered the Spirit Realm, but her progress in martial arts has fallen far behind mine. Even Wu Qilin, in terms of realm alone, is only barely on par with me. This is all thanks to the boss."

She enunciated the last two words very clearly, which stirred Shen Xing's heart.

It's not anything else.

It's just that seeing Nangong Jinyi, who still exudes the air of a young lady, call out the word "boss" gives me a strange feeling.

She indeed rarely addresses people that way.

However, Shen Xing didn't say anything about it, but simply followed her lead and asked, "Wu Qilin? Hasn't he reached the mid-stage of the Spirit Realm yet?"
