Time flies, and hundreds of years have passed in the blink of an eye.
The end of this martial arts era lasted much longer than many people expected, and it still looks like it was at its peak in the Spring and Autumn Period.
On this day, at the gate of Chunyang Sword Sect, Ziyang Mountain.
The hot sun shines on Lieyang Peak, one of the four main peaks of Ziyang Mountain. A rich and handsome young man in purple robe is sitting cross-legged on the top of the peak. The extremely rich aura around him and the sun essence falling from the sky are quickly sinking into his body. .
This purple-robed young man's name is Li Hongyang, and he is a direct disciple of the leader of the Chunyang Sword Sect. He was once the top ranked talent in the Southern Region's Hidden Dragon Ranking, and at that time he was still ranked above Ling Feng.
At this time, although he was not as perverted as Ling Feng and became the supreme emperor in charge of a realm, his cultivation had also reached the perfection of the Great Sage Realm, and he was at the critical moment of breaking through to the Holy Lord Realm.
To break through from the realm of the Great Sage to the realm of the Holy Lord, you need to open up a cave. If you are not careful, it may cause the opened cave to collapse or over-expand. After the disaster, there will be a bang and it will explode into ashes and annihilate!
In order to improve the success rate, Li Hongyang has been at the peak of the Great Sage for thirty years. He has learned the experience of many seniors in opening up the cave. He has also been given by his master a top-grade holy weapon to suppress the world and fixate the earth, water, fire and wind. He has 80% success rate. Odds. Therefore, he was preparing to break through at the top of Lieyang Peak.
After a while, Li Hongyang stopped absorbing the spiritual energy, and instead condensed his majestic magic power at the Dantian acupoint, forming a muddy hole like a singularity. Soon the muddy hole opened up, and the clear and turbid qi evolved, and the space began to expand infinitely.
When the space expanded enough, Li Hongyang took out a bell-shaped magic weapon and suppressed the infinite expansion of the clear and turbid air. The clear air evolved into the starry sky, the dirty air evolved into the earth, and the cave sky began to form. Everything went according to plan. If there are no accidents, he can officially become a powerful Holy Lord today, and he can also get a quota as a candidate for the sect leader.
However, not long after, an invisible wave seemed to invade, and the newly stable cave world suddenly collapsed. Terrifying cracks like spider webs appeared on the earth, and tiny stars exploded one after another like firecrackers.
A moment later, there was a loud bang, and the newly opened cave world exploded like a star that had exhausted its lifespan. Terrifying waves of destruction surged out from Li Hongyang's dantian, and his body also exploded instantly and turned into ashes.
Although he is already an immortal holy body at the peak of the Great Sage, theoretically speaking, even if he is chopped into flesh, he can still reassemble his physical body. However, the power of an explosion in the cave world is so terrifying that not even the powerful Saint King dares to resist. Therefore, his physical body was completely destroyed, leaving no trace behind!
Moreover, this terrifying force is still spreading in all directions. If there are no accidents, it is normal to destroy hundreds of miles around. Fortunately, Chunyang Sword Sect, as the supreme sect, is very aware of the dangers of breakthrough. Top-level defensive formations have been deployed around Li Hongyang's retreat just in case.
Therefore, the surging air waves were restrained by the power of the formation. After a stalemate for a while, the formation still collapsed, but the damage caused had been reduced a lot.
After a moment, rays of escaping light came quickly to clean up the mess.
Not long after, everything in Lieyang Peak returned to normal, and Li Hongyang was resurrected by the leader of Chunyang Sword Sect with the help of his accumulated soul distraction.
An elder from the Chunyang Sword Sect asked: "Hong Yang, what's going on?"
Li Hongyang said: "Uncle Master, I had successfully stabilized the cave, but suddenly an invisible wave invaded, and my cave collapsed!"
After hearing this, the leader of the Chunyang Sword Sect sighed quietly and said: "The catastrophe is coming, no one can avoid it! Inform the Shenwu Emperor about this!"
Li Hongyang was in seclusion in the Chunyang Sword Sect and was protected by top-notch defensive formations. Even the powerful Saint Emperor would not be able to silently invade the mountain gate and carry out sneak attacks and plots. Only a strong Jinxian can quietly invade the Chunyang Sword Sect's mountain gate and carry out a sneak attack, but Li Hongyang is not worth a sneak attack by such a strong man!
Therefore, there is only one conclusion. This invisible wave eroding the cave sky is the will of God.
…
The next day, Emperor Shenwu's Palace, Imperial Study Room.
Ling Feng's incarnation is sitting cross-legged with eyes closed, meditating on the great road.
After a while, a woman in purple came to the door.
At this time, Ling Feng opened his eyes and said: "Ziying, come in!"
Ziying walked into the room, handed over an intelligence memorial, and said: "Your Majesty, yesterday, Li Hongyang, a direct disciple of the head of the Chunyang Sword Sect, failed to break through to the realm of the Holy Lord. The cave was destroyed, and his entire cultivation was destroyed. The day before yesterday, the Moon God Palace was destroyed. The Palace Master's disciple Yue Yan broke through to the realm of the Holy Lord, and the cave sky was destroyed, causing a lot of damage. Simply, they all have Yuan Shen distractions that can be resurrected. And according to what they said after their resurrection, the cave sky they opened has already been destroyed. It was stable, but at the last moment, an invisible wave invaded, causing the cave to collapse and eventually explode. In addition, according to Wei Chen's knowledge, the vitality of the cave of many Holy Lords and Holy Kings was quietly passing away, and it could not be stopped. It seemed that there was Invisible forces are eroding the cave world, and I am afraid that before too long, their cave world will be exhausted and eventually collapse and be destroyed. In my opinion, this may be a sign of the great catastrophe of the era!"
When Ling Feng heard this, there was no look of surprise on his face. He had been observing the Shenwu Emperor with his Taixu Heavenly Eyes for the past few days, and he had long discovered that the rolling calamity energy was like a tide, impacting the destiny pillar of the Shenwu Emperor. It was obviously the great catastrophe of the era. has arrived.
But the magnitude of the catastrophe of this era really frightened him. This martial arts path can surpass the path of gods and demons and the path of immortals and Buddhas because of the existence of the inner heaven and earth, through which warriors can understand various laws of the great path, such as Yin and Yang creation, reincarnation of life and death, time and space, etc.
Nowadays, the way of heaven has mutated, and God's will no longer allows the cave world to exist. This is obviously to cut off the foundation of martial arts. Without the Dongtian World, the road to martial arts would be a dead end once it reaches the peak of the Great Sage. Next, you can either take the path of the immortal soul or the path of the physical body of gods and demons.
If this news spreads, I am afraid it will cause huge panic and the inheritance of martial arts will be cut off.
Now, there are only two ways to defeat Ling Feng. One is to perfect martial arts again and pick up where martial arts left off. The second is to open up a new path and allow all warriors to change their cultivation. But no matter which path it takes, it must be fast, after all, this news cannot be hidden for long.
Otherwise, if news spreads that the road to martial arts has been cut off, many young warriors will turn to the immortal, Buddhist, demonic, and demonic ways of ancient times. Even the once-extinct incense and fire divine ways will resurrect. This will be a big problem for the Shenwu Emperor Dynasty. Huge impact.
Fortunately, Ling Feng had already planned. He could perfect the path of martial arts based on the human-immortal martial arts he saw outside the territory. In the end, the path he took was actually the ancient path of gods and demons.
However, he is not prepared to continue the martial arts era. The path of martial arts has no inner world where one can understand the laws of the great path, and its competitiveness does not have much advantage over those of cultivation paths such as immortals, Buddhas and demons.
The next era will be an era in which all paths run parallel and a hundred flowers bloom. Ling Feng plans to call it the Era of the Lord God!
