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

Chapter 378 The Strength of the Martial Arts Alliance

If the martial arts alliance is strong enough, even stronger than he expected, then he would soften his stance. With his talent and abilities, he would have a good chance of joining the martial arts alliance.

Then proceed gradually.

The purpose of disguising one's identity is precisely this.

But if it's not that powerful, or even enough to pose much of a threat to him, then there's no need to go through all this trouble.

Ultimately, Shen Xing's joining the Martial Arts Alliance was inherently dangerous!

Because the traces of the flying shuttle were too obvious in his martial arts foundation.

This is very difficult to suppress. The spatial martial arts he learned from the flying shuttle have permeated his entire martial arts path and even laid the foundation for his future.

Moreover, Shen Xing was unaware of how much the Martial Arts Alliance actually knew about the spatial runes on the shuttle.

If someone has a high level of awareness, then they will find it even more difficult to hide.

Fortunately, the current situation is only the second one. Even if the other party vaguely realized that he was related to the shuttle, Shen Xing had already surrounded the entire spaceship in his attack just now!

Judging from the other party's technical means, they clearly do not have the technology to easily conduct dialogue across vast distances.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have just left behind a marker to provide coordinates, but would have had ample means to maintain close monitoring of the world.

That is to say-

"This spaceship belongs to me, the Emperor." Shen Xing now fully displayed the domineering presence befitting a supreme being. "Your Martial Arts Alliance is not worthy of my membership!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Mengju's expression finally changed, as if he had noticed the surrounding space was sealed off!

"You have no idea how powerful our alliance is. I'm just an insignificant nobody within it!" he hurriedly said. "Even if you reached the fourth stage of the eighth realm, you still couldn't possibly stand against our Martial Alliance. It would bring you and this world to ruin!"

"Finished? Then shut up. It's not your place to teach me!" Shen Xing raised his hand again, completely blocking all of Meng Ju's channels for transmitting his voice outward.

Even telepathic communication is impossible.

This sealing technique was learned from those veteran Eighth Realm experts in the Human Federation.

Even with Mengju's strength, he simply couldn't break through!

For the first time, he felt a profound sense of powerlessness, like a civilized person encountering a native with far greater strength than himself, unable to communicate at all, and could only collapse there in frustration.

Even more critically, Mengju had realized that the other side was not entirely unsuspecting; the blockade of the spaceship completely eliminated any possibility of him transmitting information!

The issue is no longer how to get the message back, but how to survive!

Meng Ju and the dozen or so Eighth Realm cultivators behind him never imagined that they, as Eighth Realm Great Saints of the Martial Alliance, and even with a powerful void spaceship, would fall into such a predicament so easily.

"I will not kill you." Shen Xing easily controlled all the Eight Realms on the entire spaceship. His gaze was fixed on the spaceship, making no attempt to conceal his purpose. "Only if you have any value in surviving."

"If you want to pass it on, you absolutely can."

"Enough with the noise!" Shen Xing waved his hand again, silencing the eight voices from the realm. His gaze swept over the world with disdain. "What I want, I will take myself. I don't need anyone to give it to me!"

That's right. He doesn't need to say much. As long as he plays the role of an incomparably domineering supreme being well, he can naturally get what he wants from these people.

Because, faced with such a persona, all the conspiracies and concealments are of little significance.

They knew perfectly well that if they didn't cooperate, they would die!

Some people who were secretly watching the Eighth Realm Great Saints, especially those from the Taiyan Sect, such as the Burning Heaven Great Saint, were all looking at Shen Xing with excitement.

Although they anticipated that Shen Xing would become incredibly powerful after breaking through to the eighth realm!

But how can expectations compare to the reality before our eyes?

The Eighth Realm Great Saint of the Martial Alliance, who had deeply affected and even instilled some fear in them, seemed insignificant in front of Shen Xing!

This undoubtedly gave them tremendous confidence!

The Martial Arts Alliance may be powerful, but it is far from invincible to the Federation they have now joined!

Perhaps, before long, the strongest force in this void will change its name to the Federation!

At this moment, after detaining these eighth-realm experts whose strength he had restricted, Shen Xing looked at the spaceship in front of him and stopped pretending.

He immediately broke into a smile.

"Although I don't know if I can obtain any related inheritance, just analyzing this spaceship should yield quite a few results."

"That's natural." Lin Chaoyang and the others flew over from behind, also looking at the void spaceship with great anticipation. "Have you noticed that this spaceship doesn't bother to conceal its inscription technology at all? It's like it's deliberately showing off. This makes it easier for us to analyze it."

This isn't about showing off skills.

Ordinary natives, upon seeing this spaceship, could clearly sense the incredible technological prowess of the Martial Alliance.

The inscriptions on these artifacts are so intricate that they could make even an eighth-realm cultivator dizzy, far exceeding any imagination.

Unfortunately, it was useless against Shen Xing, who had already seen something far more powerful on the flying shuttle.

It has no effect on the other warriors of the Human Federation. They have only taken a little over four thousand years to get to where they are today. So what if there is a gap? They have enough time and enough confidence to bridge that gap.

In this situation, the fully exposed rune design of the spaceship actually made their analysis much easier.

This is especially true for Shen Xing.

In terms of spatial mastery, he might even surpass the Martial Arts Alliance.

I just lack some inspiration.

And the inspiration came from this spaceship in front of me.

"Give me a thousand years at most." After carefully examining the spaceship, Shen Xing said with great certainty, "In a thousand years, we will be able to build a better and more powerful void spaceship. Not to mention, some of the design concepts on this spaceship would be better if we used a technological mindset."

Even a powerful organization like the Martial Arts Alliance has significant differences in its thinking and philosophy compared to the technological path of the Human Federation.

This is determined by the civilized environment.

Martial arts is ultimately a path filled with idealism. In this world, all principles and all matter can be influenced by vital energy and then changed by the will of the martial artist. Under such circumstances, even if they are far ahead in martial arts techniques, human civilization still has a certain level of advantage.

If we could analyze void ships, or even manufacture them on a large scale...

The initiative is now in their hands.

"We can extract more intelligence from those prisoners through torture." Lin Chaoyang and the others were already very interested. "Especially since it's very important how long it will be before their Martial Arts Alliance sends people again."

"I understand." Shen Xing nodded.

The best person to do torture is him. Only a tyrant like him, who is completely unreasonable and will kill anyone who doesn't do what he wants, can be truly intimidating.

In fact, to persuade him, these prisoners would readily tell him everything about the Martial Alliance, especially its power.

And that is indeed the case.

During the subsequent interrogation, Shen Xing didn't even ask many questions or use any special methods, yet these martial artists completely depicted a true martial arts alliance.

Indeed powerful.

The Supreme Four rule the Martial Arts Alliance.

Composed of four supreme elders of the alliance, these four are said to be the martial artists in the entire void who are closest to the next realm. Even though they have not made a move for a long time, no one doubts their power.

Below the four is the level known as the "Grand Elder".

Each of the Grand Elders has reached the fifth stage of the Eighth Realm, which also represents an ultimate level. Each of them is truly invincible, and they are even unable to distinguish one another from the other.

However, the number of Grand Elders is not large.

There are only about ten people in total.

There are actually about ten of them.

Five of them command the Void Exploration Army, the most powerful organization in the Martial Arts Alliance.

Despite being called an "army," the entire organization is actually the martial arts alliance's external conquest agency, with over one hundred martial artists at the fourth stage of the Eight Realms under its command! And over five thousand at the third stage of the Eight Realms!

Even a second-stage martial artist like Meng Ju could only be a lowly soldier in this organization!

The weaker ordinary Eight Realms are not even qualified as soldiers; they don't even have their own void spaceships.

"The total number of Eighth Realm cultivators in the entire Martial Alliance exceeds fifty thousand!" Meng Ju attempted to threaten Shen Xing. "This is the accumulation of countless worlds throughout the void over countless billions of years. It's already reached saturation. Many more native Eighth Realm cultivators don't even qualify to join the alliance. Your world is as insignificant as a grain of sand to the Martial Alliance. Even if you reach the Fourth Stage, it's the same. Conversely, joining the alliance will instantly grant you hundreds, even thousands, times more power and resources than you currently possess. Even if you don't want to be suppressed, with your talent, you might very well become a Fifth Stage Grand Elder in the future, or even transform the Supreme Four-Person Council into a Five-Person Council."

It must be said that Monju's confidence was not without reason.

If what he said is really true, then joining the Martial Arts Alliance is indeed very attractive.

For a truly strong person, being temporarily dependent on others is not a problem.

Which strong person didn't rise from the ranks of the weak?

Moreover, even within the vast Martial Arts Alliance, warriors at the fourth stage of the Eighth Realm are among the very elite.

There is absolutely no pressure.

If Shen Xing were really just an ordinary "native emperor," he might actually be able to join.

Unfortunately, he is not.

Whether it's the flying shuttle or the Federation from another universe, it's destined that he can never truly join the Alliance.

However, the strength of the league somewhat exceeded his expectations.

According to Mengju, the alliance has existed for at least more than one hundred million years, the equivalent of a homeworld's time.

Even though the path to higher realms has always been blocked and no one has ever succeeded, the accumulation brought about by such a huge amount of time is still quite terrifying.

Fifty-eight realms!

This is an unimaginable number for Shen Xing and for the Federation as a whole.

However, there was some good news as well.

The good news is that because there are so many realms and so much time, the Alliance's way of calculating time is completely different from the common understanding of life.

Even if Mengju is trapped here and has not responded for a long time, the next time the Martial Arts Alliance sends someone will be at least five or six thousand years later.

This is because they valued this place, which had once lost its treasure, enough; otherwise, it would be normal for people to arrive only tens of thousands of years later.

Moreover, the next group they send won't be too strong; it'll probably just be a fleet, plus at most a few third-stage eighth-realm warriors.

For Shen Xing right now, it's not really a problem.

Moreover, in his perception, his strength should not even be considered to be at the fourth stage, but at most the second stage.

It's just that the uniqueness of the spatial path makes his elemental power quality seem comparable to that of a fourth-stage martial artist.

This means that there is still a lot of room for him to grow in terms of ability.

It is entirely possible to achieve rapid growth again in a short period of time.

"So, the next thing to do is still development and preparation for war." After Shen Xing released all the intelligence he had obtained, the reaction at the Supreme Meeting was relatively calm.

After all, in their view, although the number 58,000 realms seemed shocking, upon closer examination, it was not actually an insurmountable distance.

First of all, this rune spaceship already possesses the level of the eighth realm.

From this perspective, it's actually just about 50,000 spaceships. Isn't that much simpler than training 50,000 people at the Eighth Realm?

Moreover, in the world of martial arts, realm is ultimately paramount.

Once Shen Xing truly succeeds in breaking through to that point and reaching the legendary next realm, what good will a million of those so-called Eighth Realm experts do?

"After creating the Void Spaceship, we should also actively travel to other worlds," Lin Chaoyang suggested at this moment. "On the one hand, it's to quickly obtain high-quality resources. On the other hand, doesn't the Martial Alliance look down on ordinary Eighth Realm cultivators? We do. Their behavior is actually heading towards the end of civilization's development."

Indeed, in the countless worlds of the entire void, the number of Eight Realms far exceeds fifty thousand.

There are nearly a hundred eighth-realm beings in one Taixu World, so five hundred Taixu Worlds would have fifty thousand beings.

According to Mengju, there are at least several thousand worlds like the Taixu World in the Martial Alliance.

This is what they have been searching for over a long period of time.
