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

Chapter 362: Number of people is meaningless

Shen Xing's appearance was certainly not because he had successfully emerged from seclusion.

In fact, he still needs to accumulate the final step.

The path has been found, the combination of space and dragons has been achieved, and even the Myriad Dragons Technique is in its final stages of advancement.

However, this step takes time.

Because the improvement is simply too great.

It was so huge that even Shen Xing himself was somewhat surprised.

He appeared before Hong Hao and the others silently, without any equipment detecting him or anyone noticing, not even Tai Luo Long Sheng, who was also in front of Hong Hao.

Everyone was taken aback.

At this moment, Shen Xing appeared to everyone like a ghost, seemingly existing yet not existing; no one could even tell if he was a phantom.

"Have you finished your seclusion?" Hong Hao couldn't help but ask.

He knew very well that he was no match for Shen Xing. If Shen Xing came out of seclusion, he would probably be invincible below the eighth realm. Therefore, he was not very surprised at this moment.

However, Shen Xing shook his head, his expression grave.

"I received a communication from Sister Wenren. It was an emergency communication, and it contained only one sentence: 'The Taiyan Sect must not be destroyed.'"

Yes, that's why Shen Xing is here at this time.

Previously, when Wenren Caifeng ascended to heaven, they had already discussed the way to contact each other. Although Bajing could no longer come to this world, he could stand on the edge of the world, which was the place that was being constantly swallowed by the void turbulence.

If Wenren Caifeng needed to contact him, she would leave a message there. In case of emergency, she would even send him signals continuously.

Shen Xing discovered the message Wenren Caifeng left for him after emerging from seclusion.

There was only this brief sentence above, nothing else, not even an explanation.

This is not like Wenren Caifeng's style.

Unless, she also knows nothing and has no way to give an answer.

"Can't we destroy the Taiyan Sect?" Hong Hao and the others pondered. "Since it was Councilor Wenren who gave this warning, it must be related to the world where the Eight Realms reside. Could it be that those Eight Realms experts from the Taiyan Sect will destroy the world?"

"That's possible, but it doesn't seem likely." Shen Xing frowned. "For the Eight Realms, although this world is destined to be destroyed, it can't be destroyed casually. Because the Eight Realms' world is still constantly drawing energy from this world. If it's destroyed too early, their world will also suffer considerable losses and will be difficult to survive for long."

"That's true." Hong Hao nodded.

If it weren't for its value, those at the Eight Realms wouldn't have needed to ascend to heaven, and they wouldn't even dare to interfere in this world.

This is precisely because they are worried about the destruction of the world.

However, if it weren't for this reason, Wenren Caifeng's message would be somewhat puzzling.

"Regardless, given this statement, it's better if we keep something in reserve," Shen Xing said.

"You are the person in charge, you have the authority." Hong Hao nodded.

If Shen Xing's previous role as the person in charge was merely due to his control over the world's passage, now he has truly become a powerful figure.

Such strength is something that even those at the eighth level of cultivation would find difficult to ignore.

Coupled with his amazing mobility, even those at the Eighth Realm level probably wouldn't be able to threaten him.

Under these circumstances, Shen Xing's current status is truly deserved.

Furthermore, considering the contributions he has made to humanity, it wouldn't be impossible for him to be directly granted the title of "Supreme Councilor."

"However, the issue now is not whether we let them go or not," Tai Luo Long Sheng suddenly interjected. "It's that they are unwilling to let us go. According to the intelligence we have gathered so far, the Tai Yan Sect has probably already gathered more than two hundred saints and is confident in dealing with us. Right now, they are just gathering more to make their confidence even greater."

"Two hundred?" Shen Xing's expression remained unchanged upon hearing this news.

"Two hundred saints, you don't even care about them?" Tai Luo Long Sheng looked Shen Xing up and down, seemingly emphasizing it intentionally. "Among them, there are at least three peak saints, twenty late-stage saints, and more than twelve eighth-grade divine weapons. Apart from true eighth-realm beings, no one can withstand this power, not even the former Ji Long."

Yes, this is indeed an incredibly powerful force.

It is large enough to, to a certain extent, transcend small differences in realm.

Unless it's a true gap between the seventh and eighth realms, theoretically no one can withstand it.

Even if Shen Xing completes his final accumulation, he will only be at the early stage of the Saint realm.

However, Shen Xing laughed and said, "Don't worry, the number of people is meaningless to me."

He spoke in a very relaxed tone, as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

In fact, although he has now reached the final step, the mysterious shuttle in his mind seems to have assumed that he has reached the seventh realm and directly transmitted the spatial conception of the seventh realm to him.

This artistic conception is truly terrifyingly powerful.

Perhaps a true eighth-realm expert could defeat him by virtue of their superior realm, but below the eighth realm, absolutely no one could stand before him.

Having been in the martial arts world for three hundred years, this is the first time Shen Xing has felt truly "invincible"!

This is not about invincibility based on so-called "talent" or "potential," but true invincibility—invincibility in the sense that no one can inspire awe or fear in him!

This sense of exhilaration was also a powerful driving force for Shen Xing to take this step and forge his own path.

At this moment, Shen Xing's invincible aura also infected the others.

"Excellent!" Tai Luo Long Sheng was surprisingly the most excited of them all. "You are a Space Dragon Emperor, the likes of which have not appeared in millions of years! You should have this confidence! I can't even imagine what kind of astonishing power a Space Dragon Emperor possesses!"

In the martial arts of this world, space is the fundamental force that distinguishes the Saint Realm from those below it.

And the Dragon type is the strongest among all martial artists!

The combination of these two elements truly breaks the limits of imagination; it is almost the strongest power that martial artists in this world can imagine!

Tai Luo Long Sheng is right. If Shen Xing had appeared in ancient times, he would have been qualified to ascend the throne of "Dragon Emperor" based solely on this foundation!

It is not the Dragon Emperor, but the one and only "Emperor" who makes the whole world submit to him!

"From now on, I'll stay here and oversee things," Shen Xing said. "Give me all the dragon-type pills, whether they're seventh-grade or sixth-grade, as many as you have. The amount of vital energy I need for this transformation is simply too enormous."

"Good!" Hong Hao nodded. "Over the past few decades, thanks to Tai Luo Long Sheng, we have found many dragon-related treasures and accumulated a considerable amount of dragon-related pills."

In fact, Shen Xing could accumulate power gradually without the aid of elixirs.

The so-called dragon energy is the power possessed by a true dragon.

It is not that dragon energy created the true dragon, but rather that the true dragon gave birth to the dragon lineage.

If Shen Xing were willing, he could use his Yuan Power at any time to transform other people or creatures into dragon-type beings, which would be a true manifestation of a dragon.

In the past, dragons increased their numbers through this method, rather than through the propagation of their bloodlines.

Only those who possess the power of dragons are dragons; their parentage and circumstances at birth have no bearing on who their parents are or how they were born.

At this moment, Shen Xing began his seclusion here.

A large quantity of dragon-type pills were delivered to him.

Whether it was a seventh-grade, a sixth-grade, or even lower-grade pill, he crushed all of them at once, and the vast amount of vital energy surged into his body. The newly developed martial arts, which were not yet exclusively his, were gradually becoming more stable and taking shape.

Perhaps because of the sudden and large-scale collection of dragon-type pills, this commotion was also detected by the Taiyan Sect members.

"We can't delay any longer," said the Sage of Carefree. "Such a massive amount of dragon-type pills—if the Supreme Dragon Saint is preparing to complete his final breakthrough—then we absolutely cannot delay any longer."

"Is this even possible?" Some sages seemed unable to comprehend it. "Tai Luo Long Sheng appears to be a quasi-Great Sage, but in reality, he has severed his connection to the Great Dao. He was already a quasi-Great Sage tens of thousands of years ago. How could he suddenly break through at this time?"

"It was impossible in the past, but how many impossible things have happened in the Federal Holy Land?" The Sage of Carefree made no attempt to hide his gloom. "We cannot gamble."

These words silenced many people present.

In this battle, they were betting everything, but the more they did so, the less they could afford to take too many risks.

The Sage of No Worries is right. If the Tai Luo Dragon Saint really takes that final step, their risks will skyrocket.

"Then that's settled." Seeing no reply, the Sage of Carefree made the final decision: "Make the final preparations!"

"good!"

"Gather everyone!"

"The final battle, and the order that will last for countless years to come, rests in your hands!"

"."

Although these sages each had their own concerns, once they made their decisions, their fighting spirit remained fervent and unwavering.

After all, this was a group of the most powerful martial artists.

To reach this point, to achieve this level, no saint has not fought countless battles in blood and fire. They would never have the slightest fear because of the power of the Federation Holy Land.

Under these circumstances, the Sage of No Worries decided on the timing of the battle.

This time was naturally also relayed to the Federal Holy Land.

With a scale like this, it would be impossible to keep the news from leaking out. Even the surprise attack launched by the Federal Holy Land using the Star Destroyer Cannon was already known to the Taiyan Sect.

However, even if you know about this level of combat, it's difficult to do anything about it.

These are over two hundred saints!

In reality, when they actually appear, coupled with some wavering saints, the number will probably be even greater!

but--

"There's no need to worry at this time." Shen Xing continued to devour the surging Yuan Qi, refining it at a speed that would amaze even a Great Sage. "I've already taken this final step, and I still have enough time to refine some more Seventh Realm Martial Dao Intents."

"That's good." Hong Hao was completely relieved.

The message was relayed: everyone in the Federal Holy Land, including everyone in the Refining Heaven Workshop, should continue with their business as usual and need not worry.

"A mere charade!" The Sage of Carefree seemed unimpressed after learning the truth.

The decision has been made, so there is no need for any further concerns. Even if it means death this time, the Sage Wuyou and many other sages are already prepared!

Thus, the date of the decisive battle remained unchanged.

When that day finally arrived, outside the endless mist that had existed for hundreds of thousands of years in the Refining Heaven Workshop, one figure after another appeared. Each one was unable to control their aura, and their vast and mighty pressure almost merged into one, rolling and spreading, and even spreading throughout the entire world in a very short time.

Countless unsuspecting mortals or weak martial artists looked up at the sky in horror at this moment.

Even though some of the martial artists had experienced the same aura more than a hundred years ago, they could clearly feel the difference this time.

Previously, it was just congratulations, and the aura it exuded did not have any intimidating power.

And this time...

It was as if the entire sky was about to collapse. The burning fighting spirit of hundreds of saints combined together, and even the stars seemed to be tinged with an indescribable blood color.

"Hahaha!" Saint Wuyou laughed loudly, "Three hundred fellow cultivators have actually come! The treatment of the Federation Holy Land is second only to the Dragon Clan. Even in defeat, we can have no regrets!"

Yes, even the Sage of No Worries himself did not expect that three hundred sages would respond!

They could only guarantee that two hundred and thirty saints would come!

This is enough to show that most saints do not want to see the Federal Holy Land rule the whole world!

"Fellow Daoists, let's begin." Someone had already unleashed all their Yuan Power.

"The Refining Heaven Workshop, which has existed for hundreds of thousands of years, will also perish today."

"What a pity, what a pity."

"The glory of ancient martial arts will probably never be seen again."

"The Holy Land of the Federation is in fact a demonic realm from beyond, not one of our own. How can they be granted the title of king or emperor?"

"."

Streams of surging Yuan energy, carrying boundless pressure, crashed towards the mist. At this moment, the entire world trembled and the earth roared. Countless martial artists far away collapsed to the ground in horror. Words could not describe the terror of this moment, as if the end of the world was about to arrive!

However, some martial artists had already sensed something was amiss at this moment.

They've already come knocking on our door, but the Federal Holy Land seems to be doing absolutely nothing.

Even the Refining Heaven Workshop remained completely silent.

If they weren't mistaken, the great formation of the Refining Heaven Workshop seemed to still be in its normal state!

Yes, the mountain gate formation was not fully activated at all!
