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

Chapter 347 A single step can make all the difference, like an insurmountable chasm!

However, if divine weapons are useless, then it's not necessarily true that they can be used by a quasi-Great Sage!

Using divine weapons to resist quasi-Great Sages is theoretically feasible, but in reality, it would inevitably come at a huge cost. Unless forced to the extreme, very few Sages would be willing to fight to that extent for some benefit!

However, Tian Mozi was at a loss for what to do with this sudden news, but Ji Long was not about to let him off the hook.

Compared to Wenren Caifeng, who follows the path of seduction, Ji Long's style is much more domineering!

His time in this world is also limited, but now that others have offered him the opportunity, he will not hesitate to take it.

"die--!"

A colossal dragon claw, seemingly blotting out the sky, extended from the heavens, its edges bearing clearly visible spatial cracks. This was not merely an attack; its profound mystery was extraordinary. Invisible elemental forces intertwined in the shadows, effectively restricting the entire space, along with the elemental forces of numerous powerful beings.

Shen Xing saw a technique similar to the "Dragon Blocking Palm" in this move!

But it far exceeded expectations, and the effect it produced was no weaker than that of a top-tier item!

Keep in mind that it has only been a little over a decade since he brought those Earth-grade Dragon-type Intents to the Human Federation!

Ji Long's Myriad Dragons Technique has only reached the Heavenly Rank in the last year or so!

This short amount of time is but a blink of an eye for a saint, yet Ji Long has managed to fill in such a gap with his methods. Even Shen Xing is somewhat amazed.

His strength has indeed improved rapidly, but his foundation is indeed lacking.

Fortunately, he still has enough time, and he is no longer fighting alone.

Faced with Ji Long's unreasonable and even murderous methods, Tian Mozi directly felt a death threat he had not felt in tens of thousands of years.

This terrified him.

Although there are eighth-grade divine weapons in the Refining Heaven Workshop, he is just the master of the workshop. According to the system of the Refining Heaven Workshop, it is impossible for divine weapons to be handed over to him in this situation.

"Help me!" he shouted, completely disregarding his image.

Ultimately, he was a top-tier seventh-grade weapon refiner, and many sages were unwilling to see such a powerful weapon refiner perish.

"Senior, please calm down." The sect master of Taiyan Sect, named Wuyou Saint, who had been observing without saying a word, took out an ancient bell that looked extremely simple and raised his voice, "Although Tian Mozi offended Young Master Shen, he did not intend to offend you, senior. He was simply unaware of the offense and his crime does not warrant death."

As soon as he finished speaking, the ancient bell in his hand disappeared and reappeared around Tian Mozi the next moment.

The bell tolled loudly, and a desolate and vast aura swept across the entire world. Around the enormous ancient bell, large areas of pitch-black spatial rifts had appeared, and one could even faintly see spatial turbulence from beyond the world within them.

This is precisely the manifestation of the power of the Eight Realms!

"An eighth-grade divine weapon! The Taiyan Bell!"

"I never imagined I'd see this great divine weapon used again in my lifetime!"

"Even a quasi-Great Sage can only be somewhat rivaled by the divine weapons of a Great Sage!"

"With the strength of the Sage of No Worries, wielding such a divine weapon, he might very well be able to fight a Quasi-Great Sage!"

"That's right, a quasi-Great Sage is ultimately not a true Great Sage!"

"."

Many onlookers quietly spoke up at this moment, and some even seemed extremely excited.

After all, such a scene might not occur even once in thousands or even tens of thousands of years in this world!

However, most people are not very optimistic about this aspiring Great Sage.

If it really comes down to fighting at any cost, the odds of victory should actually be in the hands of the Taiyan Sect.

After all, as the number one holy land in the world, the Taiyan Sect possesses more than just one Great Saint Divine Weapon!

Furthermore, it has had tens of thousands of years of vested interests with many other powerful holy lands. If it really wanted to be serious, it could mobilize at least four or five, or even more, Great Saint Divine Weapons!

This power is the key reason why the order and rules of the entire Central Ruins have been unbreakable for the past ten thousand years!

However, Ji Long's offensive did not falter in the slightest when faced with this powerful divine weapon!

That terrifying dragon claw still slammed heavily onto that mysterious and desolate ancient bell!

boom--!

The sudden burst of bell tolls seemed to sweep across the entire world. Countless powerful martial artists and even saints present felt their divine senses shake, as if their souls had been subjected to a tremendous impact.

Everyone was horrified.

But what truly terrified them was that the Sage of No Worries was now deathly pale, his face filled with disbelief.

Then, he spat out a mouthful of blood, and the Yuan energy in his body was surging wildly and even dissipating!

This is clearly a sign of severe injury!

It should be understood that a saint's physical body and soul have become completely integrated. Even if only a wisp of soul or a drop of blood remains, there is a possibility of rebirth. Ordinary methods are simply not enough to injure a saint.

Unless, of course, their very soul was directly impacted!

The current situation of the Worry-Free Saint is clearly that his divine soul has been attacked by the divine weapon!

In other words, this attack directly injured the legendary and incredibly powerful Taiyan Bell!

"How is this possible?"

The onlookers were in an uproar. Some saints who were originally preparing to help the Worry-Free Saint and suppress the arrogance of this outsider quasi-Great Saint suddenly stopped in their tracks, seemingly stunned and unable to understand the situation.

Only Shen Xing and his group sneered inwardly.

In terms of realm, this eighth-grade divine weapon is indeed at the same level as Ji Long.

But just because they're at the same level, does that mean their abilities are the same?

Ji Long is someone who, in the Human Federation, is unmatched among those of the same cultivation level!

He is a true martial arts master, one of the top geniuses in combat among all of human civilization in the two thousand years since it entered the world of martial arts!

Same level?

Ji Long has never been afraid of anyone at his level!

He had no intention of giving this group time to process everything. After the first attack, he struck again. This time, a long and majestic dragon roar resounded throughout the entire world. Another huge black dragon claw pressed straight down on Tian Mozi from the sky. The Yuan power surged, and the projection of his will was almost real. The seemingly boundless killing intent almost made Tian Mozi dizzy.

He had never felt so powerless as he did now!

It was as if they were on completely different levels. The terrifying Yuan Power that was originally capable of destroying the world was now completely unable to exert even the slightest bit of its power!

He knew perfectly well that without the eighth-grade divine weapon before him, he would have been dead in that one blow!

A body imbued with the martial arts of a saint is utterly useless!

Boom-!

A second loud bang rang out again. This time, countless martial artists across the world looked up at the sky in astonishment and uncertainty. Some mortals even knelt on the ground in fear, begging the gods and Buddhas in the sky not to unleash their wrath.

The Sage of No Worries had already spat out his second mouthful of blood essence, and his body was much weaker at this moment.

It was clear that the very source had been damaged!

Everyone knew that if things continued like this, even if he was at the peak of sainthood, he would surely die!

A single step can make all the difference, like an insurmountable chasm!

But the Sage of Worry-Free was at a loss. Everyone knew that Tian Mozi's previous statement was also to fight for the interests of their Taiyan Sect! If he abandoned Tian Mozi now, the prestige that the Taiyan Sect had accumulated over tens of thousands of years would be lost in an instant!

Without its prestige and unable to rally other holy lands, how could the Taiyan Sect possibly be a match for such a great saint on its own?

This is not some insignificant loss!

"Everyone." Seeing that the third attack was about to come, and was even more ferocious, the Sage of No Worries couldn't help but turn to look at his allies.

Although he only brought one Rank 8 divine weapon with him on this trip, there were actually at least four present. The other three came from several other powerful holy lands!

However, when the Worry-Free Saint looked over at this moment, he found that those other equally powerful saints actually had the intention to retreat!

The carefree sage immediately understood.

Faced with such a powerful Great Sage, even if they were to actually make a move, they could at most put up a slight resistance.

However, if they completely break off relations, and once they fully enter the eighth realm and become Great Saints, it will be a great calamity for all their holy lands and many saints!

Nobody wants things to come to this!

The benefits they could gain wouldn't justify going to such lengths!

The quasi-Great Sage before us is even stronger than the newly ascended Great Sage Wenren!

And even more powerful!

Boom-!

With the arrival of the third attack, the figure of the Worry-Free Saint was weakened to the extreme in an instant, even appearing incredibly thin, as if he might dissipate in the wind at any moment.

But compared to the severe physical and mental injuries, the desolation of the vest is even more devastating!

The Sage of No Worries could even sense that a crack had appeared on the Taiyan Bell!

The divine weapon is an eighth-grade divine weapon, but how much of its power can it unleash in the hands of someone at the seventh realm?

"Great Sage! Great Sage!" The Sage of No Worries roared to the sky several times, as if filled with endless resentment, and finally withdrew the ancient bell!

The path of martial arts has always been like this!

It may seem like just a small difference, but if you don't reach that level, you'll never reach it, and you'll always be at a completely different level!

They can't take that step! Even at the peak of the seventh realm, they are nothing but ants in front of those who have already stepped out!

However, with his withdrawal, Tian Mozi was already on the verge of collapse!

"I'm willing to join you! I'm a top-tier seventh-grade weapon refiner!" he shouted at the oncoming dragon claw, his face filled with terror. "I'll do whatever you ask! I'm also a late-stage seventh-grade saint, the head of the Refining Heaven Workshop, I..."

boom--!

Without the slightest hesitation or even a moment's pause, the dragon claw pressed down directly.

At this moment, a saint has fallen!

All those present, including the sun and moon, were stunned, and all the saints remained silent.

They witnessed the entire process. Under such absolute power, what difference was there between the so-called saints and the so-called seventh-grade weapon refiners, who were so high and mighty, and the most humble mortals?

At this moment, no one dared to show any contempt for the "Federation"!

The seamless succession of two near-Great Sages is unprecedented in the entire history of civilization, spanning tens of thousands of years, hundreds of thousands of years, and even if all records from ancient times are included!

But this is exactly what happened within a single power!

This alone is enough to make this force stand out from all other forces!

"Gentlemen," Shen Xing's voice carried far and wide, "Tian Mozi offended us first, and he deserved to die. We are not unaware of the reasons behind his actions. However, in the martial world, the strong are ultimately respected! At this moment, we are the ones who are respected. Does anyone have any objections?"

The entire room fell silent.

The Sage Wuyou, who had suffered severe injuries, had already fled back to Cangmang under the protection of many sages of the Taiyan Sect.

Even if they didn't leave, they still wouldn't dare to make a sound at this time.

Without this central figure, the other sages were even less likely to succeed.

"Since no one is resisting, from this day forward, our Federation will have a Refinement Workshop within the Zizai Refinement Workshop," Shen Xing continued, his voice clear. "Please rest assured, everyone. We are not lawless or disorderly. All the promises we made at the beginning remain valid. Two years from now, all those above the Sun and Moon realms may reside here permanently! They may also enjoy all the facilities and inheritances within our Federation's Refinement Workshop."

As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere at the scene finally became a little more lively.

Some days and months passed with a long sigh of relief, and even a hint of excitement.

For them, it would be more advantageous if Shen Xing could keep his promise, because this place was indeed extremely suitable for cultivation.

Now that this force has firmly established itself, it means that this place can continue to exist for a long time!

Clearly, once the news spreads, more and more powerful cultivators from the Sun and Moon realms will flock here!

The more bustling and prosperous a place is, the more conducive it is to spiritual practice!

A more powerful, more open, and more orderly holy land seems poised to replace the Taiyan Sect and become the new number one holy land!

At this moment, those saints seemed to have finally accepted this reality.

Saints like Tian Yanzi, who had already sided with the Federation, were beaming with joy.

"Young Master Shen, no, Master Shen, you are too kind," Tian Yanzi said with a smile, then respectfully looked towards the horizon and asked, "May I ask what this Martial Venerable's name is, and how we should address him?"

Upon hearing this, everyone looked up at the sky.

Clearly, for at least the next few decades, this person will be the new Martial Venerable, the strongest in the new world, and even more powerful than Wenren Martial Venerable was back then!

After all, this person showed no mercy when he made his move.

But at this moment, Ji Long's figure fell from the sky and stood directly next to Shen Xing.

"All matters concerning the Federation in this Central Ruins are entrusted to Junior Brother Shen. I, too, will follow Junior Brother Shen's arrangements. Titles are irrelevant and need not overshadow the main ones."

"."

These words stunned even Tian Yanzi.

However, looking at the serious expression on the face of the person in front of him, and then at the other Federation Saints, who all appeared calm and composed as if it were "how things should be,"...

The way they looked at Shen Xing had completely changed!
