Gao Wu: You have science, and I have magic!

"I'll clear the way for you!"

Qi Shengtian's hands were covered with a pair of silver-white metal arm armors. The internal energy of his body surged, and he made bursts of dragon roars, shaking the sky and causing thunder.

Dragon arm armor!

This item is none other than the peerless magic weapon possessed by Qi Shengtian, passed down by Yinglong. It possesses incredibly powerful strength and can maximize the power of the martial arts "Fish-Dragon Transformation" and "Six Forces of Military Conflict".

The only weakness is that activating the Xionglong Arm Armor requires burning blood and essence. Even though Qi Shengtian is already a Martial Saint, it is difficult for him to control it for a long time.

Therefore, it can only be used at critical moments.

Like now!

"Get out of my way!"

Qi Shengtian threw out his fist in anger, and immediately used the magic weapon in his hand to practice the heavenly martial arts he learned from "Fish Dragon Transformation". The dragon's energy and thunderous evil spirit entangled and surrounded his fingers.

Then, the ultimate move comes into play!
The swimming dragon style, the spinning dragon style, the catching dragon style, the swinging dragon style, the sinking dragon style, the coiled dragon style, the dividing dragon style, the entangled dragon style, the flying dragon style!
The Nine Styles of Dragon Fist, with its myriad variations, brought the evolutionary characteristics of the dragon clan's genetic martial arts to full fruition, forcing the two evil dragon knights to retreat step by step, unable to defend themselves.

Drink~
With a final roar, he unleashed a fatal move, Nine Dragons Soaring to the Sky. The nine moves combined into one, blasting the two dragon knights in front of him into pieces, and they exploded and died on the spot.

However, this place has been transformed into a distorted hell by the Kabbalah, the tree of life. The ground is covered with a thick carpet of flesh and blood. Even if the dragon rider is blown into pieces, he can be resurrected at any time.

The shattered flesh and blood gathered together again and turned into two huge black tumors, inside which were nurturing two new dragon knights.

"Come on!"

Qi Shengtian stayed behind to cover the retreat, the dragon-force thunder on his arm armor entwined and roared endlessly: "Leave them to me."

"it is good."

Ye Qingzhou was not the kind of person who would hesitate, so he nodded and continued on his way.

Zheng~
The famous sword was unsheathed, and the sword energy cut through the bark of the sacred tree, literally cutting open a bloody path.

The interior of the sacred tree is not solid, but a maze world with complex terrain.

"Intruder detected."

"The evil scale guards are dispatched."

"Destroy and expel."

Ye Qingzhou had just entered the sacred tree when he met a team that came to "welcome" him - thirteen guards with master-level combat power.

They were completely black, with bone spurs growing out of the joints of their hands and feet. Highly toxic substances transformed into black and red evil spirits that entangled them. Anyone who came into contact with them would die.

roar~
Thirteen evil scale guards rushed forward. They were like genetic bombs. Facing the Martial Saint, even with their grandmaster-level strength, they had no chance of winning in a head-on confrontation.

However, their blood contains a special plague virus, which is essentially the plague divine power transformed from the sacred tree. Even if a martial arts saint is infected with it, he will either die or be disabled.

"Such hospitality is a bit too enthusiastic."

Ye Qingzhou, holding the Emperor Sword Long Yuan in his hand, immediately responded.

The true secret of controlling thunder with the Nine Heavens Divine Sword!

Having entered the realm of Martial Saint, he can now finally unleash the full power of this heavenly-grade martial art.

The power of the completed heavenly-level martial arts is so strong that it shakes the world!

The Emperor Sword Long Yuan let out a dragon roar that shook the sky, and then thousands of lightning bolts fell, and the dazzling light tore through the outer shell of the sacred tree and gathered on the sword edge.

The thunder from heaven is the power!

Earth fire is evil!

The moment the two forces intertwined and merged, they turned into a new energy, extremely strong and masculine, capable of destroying all things.

Tiangang Divine Thunder Fire!
The practice of martial arts varies from person to person. Different people will often develop different styles of the same martial art based on their own qualifications and conditions.

The "Nine Heavens Divine Sword Controlling Thunder True Art" practiced by Ye Qingzhou is to use fire to attract thunder, combining the power of Gang and Sha into one. There are no fancy tricks, only saturation bombardment that creates miracles with great force.

"Since this sword has just been completed, I will use your Kabala as a sacrifice first."

shuh~
The torrent of sword energy swept through like a raging fire, and the intertwined thunder and fire were mighty and invincible, directly annihilating the attacking thirteen evil scale guards into ashes all over the sky.

Not only that, the sword move continued with unabated force, directly tearing a hole in the body of Kabbalah, the God of Life. The wound was continuously burned and devoured by lightning and fire, and it could not be healed for a while.

Ye Qingzhou walked along the passage unhindered and went straight into the heart of the tree.

Ye Qingzhou was too lazy to find the way in this underground maze-like world in the trees, so he had no choice but to tear down the wall.

"Damn it!"

Arthur became furious upon seeing this and was no longer as calm and composed as before.

At this moment, he was no longer able to monitor the battle outside. He quickly stood in front of Ye Qingzhou and said, "Mortal, you are courting your own death!"

“A good dog stays out of the way.”

Ye Qingzhou didn't bother to talk nonsense and just stepped forward and swung his sword.

He just shook his wrist, and the sword tip trembled, turning into sword shadows all over the sky. These sword shadows were colorful, each containing the innate yin and yang and five elements, which were mutually reinforcing and restraining, forming a complete cycle of heaven and earth.

"Ah! Five-colored divine light!"

Arthur was hit by dozens of sword energies and let out a scream on the spot. His skin was torn and his flesh was covered in blood.

His genes were blessed by the power of the plague, and possessed the characteristics of super-fast evolution, able to quickly adapt to any kind of "harsh environment".

However, attacks with complex attributes like the Five-Colored Divine Light are the most effective moves against him.

The forces of the five elements are mutually generated and restrained, and the innate qi even touches upon the principles of the Great Dao, and he is merely a mortal body that has borrowed divine power. It is difficult for him to transcend the heaven and earth, and he himself is still within the five elements. So when facing the five-colored divine light, he really has no way to deal with it and can only take it head-on.

"Are you of the royal bloodline of Yuguo?"

A hexagram magic circle appeared under Arthur's feet. His figure shook and became blurred. He twisted his limbs like light smoke and avoided Ye Qingzhou's sword attack.

"I am your father."

At the same time that Ye Qingzhou drew his sword, he also used sarcastic words to stir up the opponent's emotions, hoping to create the flaw he wanted in this way.

But Arthur was also a veteran, and he remained unmoved by Ye Qingzhou's ridicule. He remained absolutely calm and looked at Ye Qingzhou with murderous eyes.

"You are the dead survivor of Yu Country. Once I capture you, you will be transformed into a new battle angel through the reincarnation pool. You will become one of my most satisfying collections."

In ancient times, the Emperor of Mie once led his people to exterminate the Feathered Civilization and established the Sanctuary of Eden on earth. In the midst of a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood, he used the corpses of countless Feathered People as fertilizer and planted the sacred tree of life, Kabbalah, and the sacred tree of wisdom, Cervantes.

At the same time, tens of millions of Feathered People had their flesh and blood refined and turned into combat puppets called angels, becoming slaves for eternity.

Even death cannot bring relief.

Because the reincarnation pool preserves their bloodline genes, even if they die in battle, they will be resurrected and continue to serve as minions of the Emperor of Destruction.

"Soon, you will meet the same fate." Arthur showed a grim smile, his eyes cruel and bloodthirsty: "A martial arts genius like you, the flesh and blood must be very delicious, especially the heart and liver. I can't help but want to taste them myself."

As he spoke, he showed Ye Qingzhou a drooling expression.

Ye Qingzhou could see that the person in front of him was really greedy for his body.

"As the rumors say, the descendants of the Holy Blood like to feed on humans. Monsters like you really make me want to kill you."

Murderous intent!
The stars shift!

Ye Qingzhou's murderous intent moved, and the cold sword energy turned into a rain of meteors in the sky, blasting towards Arthur.

Arthur was locked in by divine consciousness and had no way to escape.

"My Lord, please bless me!"

Boom~
The enormous plague power began to pour into his body, and Arthur's life energy level also continued to rise, until it reached the ninth level of the Martial Saint, the peak realm, and was only half a step away from becoming the Martial God, before it stopped.

At this time, only a rough outline of his human body remained, and his flesh and blood had been twisted and deformed by the power of the plague, turning him into a complete monster.

He grew three heads, six arms, and his eyes turned into honeycomb-shaped compound eyes. The bone spurs on his spine pierced through his skin and turned into sharp long hairs.

The degenerated tail vertebrae once again grew into a thick and powerful lizard tail, covered with thick scales like armor, and the erect dorsal fin was sharper than a blade.

Rumble~
The sword energy bombarded and caused a series of explosions.

Amidst the splattering of flesh and blood and broken bones, Arthur walked towards Ye Qingzhou with heavy steps and a ferocious look on his face. With every step he took, the wounds on his body would heal quickly, and the squirming flesh and blood continued to repair every injury.

But in the blink of an eye, Arthur appeared in front of Ye Qingzhou again unharmed, opening his bloody mouth that exuded a foul stench and plague-like gas towards him.

roar~
"Distorted flesh and blood, the body of a god?"

Ye Qingzhou avoided the splashing water and his expression became cautious when he looked at Arthur.

The opponent's appearance gave him a bad feeling: "Is the terrifying power that once destroyed the Temple of the Gods really related to the Emperor of Destruction?"

The essence of plague is a harmful disease.

And this kind of disease does not only occur in the physical body, even the mind of an individual will be polluted and eroded by the power of the plague, and eventually become a killing machine that has lost its ideals and whose mind is full of chaos and madness.

The former European Pantheon suffered a devastating disaster because of this, and eventually fell into ruin and decline, and was successfully taken over by the Queen of Heaven Hera.

Now, Ye Qingzhou is also facing the same threat.

"I will crush you bit by bit, squeeze your blood, and taste your pain."

Arthur uttered mad mutterings, and the bloodthirsty nature in his heart could no longer be suppressed. If he was a monster, he should at least have been wearing human skin before.

Now, he has torn off all his disguises and turned into a complete bloodthirsty beast.

bang~
Arthur stomped his left foot on the floor, causing the inside of the sacred tree to shake.

Before Ye Qingzhou could even stand firmly, a fist as big as a millstone had already hit his face. The blow was over forty times the speed of sound, and the fist rubbed against the air, creating a blazing flame.

Such a terrifying kinetic impact is no different from being hit head-on by a small meteorite. Even an indestructible golden body cannot withstand such an attack.

Dang~
Ye Qingzhou was knocked away by a punch.

Click~
After encountering the violent impact, the space barrier inside the sacred tree made a shattering sound.

Shaking his head, Ye Qingzhou stood up from the ground unharmed. A piece of armor as black as ink slowly emerged, turning from virtual to real, covering Ye Qingzhou's entire body.

"Luckily I was wearing the Black Hell Emperor Armor, otherwise I would have been seriously injured by this punch."

Ye Qingzhou was also secretly shocked at this moment. The opponent's strength was beyond his imagination. If it weren't for the protection of the Black Hell Emperor Armor, the previous attack would have been enough to cause him serious injuries.

"You almost got me hurt."

"die!"

Arthur, who had fallen into a state of madness, no longer had his previous calmness and cunningness. He used his reason to exchange for the Plague Knight's unparalleled power.

Ye Qingzhou only provoked him a little and he launched a series of fierce attacks.

"Third gear!"

Ye Qingzhou also activated the explosive mode, with five swords coming out at the same time, fighting Arthur head-on.

The fight between the two became more and more intense, forty times the speed of sound, forty-one times the speed of sound... and continued to increase, and soon broke through to fifty times the speed of sound!
Boom boom boom~
Two figures, so fast that they could not be caught by the eyes, fought fiercely in the maze-like space of the sacred tree. Wherever they went, it was like a hurricane passing through, causing horrific destruction like a natural disaster.

After a hundred moves, Arthur's body finally couldn't hold on any longer. His cells began to disintegrate, first his internal organs, then the muscles in his limbs.

Soon, the skin and flesh on his body began to fall off, revealing his white skeleton.

"impossible!"

"I have the protection of the gods, why would I be defeated by a mortal!?"

Arthur was unwilling to accept defeat. The hatred in his heart was gnawing at him, making him cry out in grief.

Ye Qingzhou was not surprised at all: "Your foundation is insufficient. If you forcefully borrow divine power, it would be fine if you can win quickly. But once you get into a tough fight, you will waste your own life. Isn't failure a natural thing?"

The combination of the Immortal Golden Body and the Heaven and Earth Furnace allows Ye Qingzhou to use the opponent's force to his advantage and have unlimited endurance. With such a solid foundation, he is naturally not afraid of fighting a war of attrition with his opponent.

From this we can see how important the foundation of martial arts is.

Without sufficient foundation, the so-called strength is nothing but castles in the air. The higher you jump, the harder you fall, and in the end you will be smashed to pieces and die without a burial place.

For example, Arthur's body had completely turned into a pool of pus at this moment, and the bones left after his death had also broken and shattered into debris on the ground.

After dealing with the people blocking his way, Ye Qingzhou finally reached the heart of the tree smoothly.

Countless vine-like blood vessels gathered here from every corner of the sacred tree, just to extract nutrients and hatch a body that can carry the projection of the Plague Knight.

At this time, half of the Plague Knight's body had struggled out from the tumor-like tree. With a force, he forcibly pulled out his right arm.

In the palm of his hand, he was holding a strange sword handle.

The blade part is very special, it is composed of two pythons intertwined in a spiral shape, just like the DNA arrangement of creatures on the blue planet.

Zhuang Bancheng, who was parasitized by the Plague Knight, looked up at Ye Qingzhou and said, "Hmm? According to the arrangement of the Omni-Cause Network, no one should be able to break into this place at this time."

At the same time, his eyes fell on Ye Qingzhou's wrist: "And you, you vicious little thing, don't put poison in other people's homes casually, it's very rude."

"Oh my dear, I have been discovered."

Yingyue giggled and transformed from the form of a bracelet into a human form, but she did not stop poisoning.

Before entering, Ye Qingzhou had already ordered her to secretly release toxins against the plague cells, to fight poison with poison, to see if she could destroy the life circulation system of the Tree of Life.

Judging from the opponent's reaction, it should be effective.

Since it works, don't stop! (End of this chapter)
