Chapter 93 Divine Martial Arts
"boom!!!"

The dragon and tiger strike was overwhelming. Zhong Qingcang tried his best to defend, but he was still forced back several feet. The power of wind and thunder surged around his body, and he struggled to dissipate that divine martial arts technique.

"Such power..."

Zhong Qingcang's expression was solemn. He unleashed his imperial power, and his body was surrounded by violent wind and thunder spirits for ten feet. It seemed inferior to an ordinary domain, but in reality, it was a hundred times more condensed than an ordinary domain.

Domain power is a unique ability of Emperor-level spirit beasts and sixth-tier spirit beasts. To put it simply, it is the ability to control the power of heaven and earth, transforming all the primordial spirits within a certain range into the same primordial spirits, thereby enhancing the power of one's various secret techniques and combat skills.

This is also the reason why there is a gap between fifth and sixth tiers, between monarch-level spirit masters and emperor-level spirit masters. The former still relies on their own strength, while the latter can mobilize the power of heaven and earth. How can such a gap be bridged?
Only Emperor-level spirit beasts can leverage their rank to mobilize the power of heaven and earth, thus accomplishing the feat of a fifth-rank beast defeating a sixth-rank beast.

But now...

"hold head high!!!"

Shen He unleashed his golden core, causing a surge of martial arts essence. Without relying on the power of heaven and earth, he used only his own strength to unleash dragon-shaped true energy from both palms, which, carrying the force of wind and thunder, pierced towards Zhong Qingcang.

Human power can shake the heavens!
A golden elixir is swallowed into my belly, and my fate is determined by nature.

When he previously refined the Dragon-Tiger Golden Elixir, the description of his body as a blazing furnace, embracing the sun, and seemingly undergoing nuclear fission was by no means an exaggeration.

The martial arts system of the human empire has developed human strength to an extremely terrifying level. Even at the fifth level, one can still shake the power of heaven and earth to a certain extent.

Therefore, even if Shen He doesn't use anything now, doesn't use the Spirit Fusion Secret Technique, and doesn't use the Myriad Spirit Armor, he can still face Zhong Qingcang, the Heavenly Emperor Spirit, head-on with his own skills and the power of the Dragon-Tiger Golden Core.

This is the overwhelming power of the Great Thousand Martial Arts over the Lesser Thousand Low-Level Magic!
Not to mention that Shen He also has professional skills to back him up, with a series of "cheat codes" at his disposal.

……

The Secret Technique of Spirit Fusion, Five Great Emperors, and Hundreds of Monarchs.

Armed with Myriad Spirits, Imperial Domain, Divine Martial Arts.

Furthermore, with the breakthrough improvement of the Spirit Lord's talent "Form and Intent Divine Martial Arts", the power of the basic martial art "Form and Intent Fist" in Shen He's hands is no weaker than that of superior martial arts such as "Form and Intent Divine Martial Arts Scripture".

Now that he possessed all his strength, he faced his enemy without reservation, unleashing more than ten powerful palm strikes comparable to the Azure Dragon Divine Qi, which hurtled towards Zhong Qingcang with overwhelming force.

As the previous generation's Chapter of Courage, Zhong Qingcang also followed an offensive route. Faced with Shen He's incomparably domineering Divine Martial True Skill, he had no choice but to activate the Wind and Thunder Domain and fight back with offense.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Humanity's awe-inspiring power, divine might versus spiritual magic, dragon-shaped streams of energy clashed fiercely in the void, attack against attack, without reservation, terrifying power poured out, forming waves that swept in all directions, causing the surrounding peaks to tremble, mountains to shift, rocks to crumble and mountains to break.

A battle of unparalleled strength, a struggle for destiny—it's terrifying!
The crowd below watched nervously, their faces filled with astonishment.

suddenly……

"not good!!!"

One person exclaimed, his figure flashed, and in the next instant he appeared in the air, rushing into the battlefield to aid Zhong Qingcang.

But it was too late. Another divine martial arts technique struck, the power of dragon and tiger shattering the wind and thunder. Zhong Qingcang couldn't dodge in time and was hit in the chest, flying backward.

The man caught him from behind and struck him with a palm, but he was still no match for the divine martial skill. He was slid several feet before stopping.

"Cough cough!"

Just as they stopped retreating, a coughing sound was heard. It was Zhong Qingcang, who was in front, with blood dripping from his mouth, which contrasted sharply with his white beard and white robe.

"how?"

Upon seeing this, the people who came to help also asked anxiously.

"No problem!"

Zhong Qingcang gritted his teeth, his expression turning stern as he looked at Shen He again: "This is definitely not a Spirit Fusion Secret Technique or an Emperor's Battle Skill. What power have you obtained?"

His words betrayed a hint of horror!
It was truly shocking.

Although it is said that fists fear the young and strong, and sticks fear the old, that is for ordinary people. For a Heavenly Emperor Spirit like him, the spiritual power in his body will not be lost in the slightest until the last moment of his life. He can even maintain his youth and be at the peak of his life.

In fact, five hundred years old is not the limit of the lifespan of an Emperor-level Spirit Master, but rather the limit set by this world for Emperor-level Spirit Masters. Therefore, although Emperor-level Spirit Masters cannot live forever, they can remain young and maintain their peak condition.

Therefore, for a Heavenly Emperor Spirit like him, there is no such thing as a fist being afraid of the young and strong. As long as he is not dead, he is always young and strong, and his combat power will not be reduced in the slightest.

But this only highlights how terrifying the other side is!
How could a fifth-tier Monarch-level Spirit Master possibly fight me head-on as a Heavenly Emperor Spirit?
He not only attacked him head-on, but also gained the upper hand, showing no sign of weakness, and finally suppressed him.

How could his body withstand such an outburst? It was like a bottomless abyss, which could not be filled or shaken no matter how much power was poured into it.

This is definitely not some kind of spirit control secret technique or imperial combat skill; at least, it's not a secret technique or combat skill from the Spirit Control Continent.

Zhong Qingcang was filled with doubt and uncertainty, but Shen He didn't say much, only activating his Divine Martial Skill once again.

"hold head high!!!"

Once again, a dragon roared, golden light shone brightly, and dozens of streams of divine martial arts energy surged forth, rushing fiercely towards the two.

True essence exhausted, golden elixir withered?
How could it be so easy?

Five great emperors, hundreds of monarchs, and all the divine power and spirits gathered in one body, his endurance is beyond imagination.

Even if Zhong Qingcang alone joined forces, it would be difficult to exhaust his true essence.

Faced with such divine martial arts, Zhong Qingcang's eyes narrowed, and the Heavenly Mandate Emperor Spirit who came to his aid stepped forward.

"I come!"

With a sharp shout, a domain was created, filled with earth elemental spirits, forming a protective barrier for the earth.

It was Dongfang Bai's teacher, the previous generation's guardian.

"boom!!!"

With divine martial arts prowess, they once again clashed with destiny, and both sides exchanged blows, yet the defenders still retreated.

Its domineering power is unmistakable.

"Go together!"

Seeing this, the other Heavenly Mandate Emperors stopped watching and rushed to the aid of the two. Only Jun Cangming, Yin Nianyun, He Yanfeng, Dongfang Bai and other successors of the Heavenly Mandate remained uninvolved.

Staying out of it doesn't mean being unwilling to participate, but rather being unable to.

This battle is a battle between imperial spirits, a battle between heavenly mandate imperial spirits. Although they are successors to the mandate of heaven and possess imperial spirit beasts, their fifth-order bodies still limit them. They are not qualified to participate in a battle of this level and can only watch from the sidelines.

"Come!!!"

Surrounded by the nine Heavenly Mandate Emperor Spirits, Shen He remained completely unafraid. With a stretch of his arms, nine dragons and nine tigers appeared, forming nine divine dragon and tiger beams, each striking one of the Heavenly Mandate Emperor Spirits.

Fight, fight, fight! Go crazy, go crazy, go crazy!
This is not the development that everyone wants.

But now they have no choice. Both sides have reached the point where they can no longer back down and can only fight to the death.

For a moment, the summit of Fenglei was illuminated with a dazzling array of colors, like a rainbow swirling in the air.

Nine realms unfold, the power of the Emperor's Spirit manifests, and fierce battles rage against divine martial arts.

"Such power..."

"Li Taiyi!"

At the summit, amidst the Wind and Thunder Mountains, Jun Cangming looked up, his hands unconsciously clenching into fists.

On the other side, He Yanfeng and Yin Nianyun stood supporting each other, their expressions tense, their faces slightly pale, revealing a hint of fear.

Dongfang Bai and the others, watching the figure fighting fiercely against nine Emperor Spirits in the sky and still holding his own, were also filled with mixed feelings.

Who could have imagined things would turn out this way?

One man fighting against nine Heavenly Mandate Emperors?
Or is it Li Taiyi who lost his destined spirit beast?

What exactly happened to him when he left the holy city?

The following is a mix of emotions, a blend of feelings.

With the battle raging above, there was no time to spare for anything else.

Although the nine imperial spirits had the upper hand by joining forces, they could only gain the upper hand and not win. Faced with the divine martial arts, they were still half-offensive and half-defensive, and none of them dared to make a rash attack.

After such a fierce and exhausting battle, it was unclear how long it lasted before Zhong Qingcang finally gritted his teeth.

"A dragon shakes the heavens and earth!" "Boom!"

In an instant, the wind rose and the clouds surged, lightning flashed and thunder roared. Zhong Qingcang transformed into a dragon, soaring into the sky to draw upon the wind and thunder, intending to further mobilize the power of heaven and earth to unleash a deadly move.

"Ouch!!!"

Seeing this, Shen He also took a deep breath, and golden light shone from his abdomen.

Golden light shone brightly, as bright as the midday sun, and dragons and tigers surged forth in a ferocious rush.

In an instant, the dragon and tiger energy flowed into his chest, abdomen, heart, and lungs, transforming into a single burst of energy.

"boom!!!"

With a single breath, mountains and rivers were shaken, dragons and tigers trembled in the heavens and earth, and an unparalleled torrent of energy pierced the sky, heading straight for Zhong Qingcang.

"That killing move is aimed at Shen Tu Yu!"

However, Zhong Qingcang was not alone; the eight Emperor Spirits joined forces to resist this Divine Martial True Skill, Xingyi Ultimate Technique.

but……

"boom!!!"

The Divine Martial True Skill possessed extraordinary power, breaking through the interception of seven Heavenly Mandate Emperor Spirits in succession, and finally penetrating the earth's barrier, only to be blocked by the previous generation's Guardian Chapter.

But the resistance was just an illusion. The next moment, the barrier shattered, and the Dragon Tiger Stream burst through the body. The previous Guardian Chapter retreated with blood spurting out, already severely injured.

"Heaven is terrified by thunderous fury!"

Just then, Zhong Qingcang, transformed into a startled dragon, crashed down, his strike carrying the force of heaven and earth's winds and thunder, hurtling towards Shen He.

"boom!!!"

The wind and thunder exploded, and the heavens and earth pressed down hard. Shen He disregarded his own safety and activated his Divine Martial True Skill again, using the "Supporting the Sky" technique to resist. However, he could not withstand the force and was forcibly blasted off the sky by the wind and thunder, like a meteorite falling on the top of Fenglei Mountain.

"Walk!!!"

This attack dealt the first blow to the enemy, but no further killing moves followed. Instead, Zhong Qingcang shouted and flew away with the heavily injured previous guardian, along with Jun Cangming and the others below.

The seventeen Heavenly Mandates and the nine Great Emperor Spirits have now withdrawn.

He left alone, standing atop Fenglei Mountain, coldly watching them depart.

After such a short while...

"boom!!!"

With a loud bang, the rocks beneath their feet instantly transformed into a spiderweb, spreading deep into the mountainside and engulfing the entire mountain.

"what!!!"

Shen He's body trembled, and a beam of blood burst from his chest, bringing excruciating pain. His Spirit Control Armor dissipated, and beams of spiritual light flew into the Spirit Control Ring, all of which were used to distribute the damage to the injured spirit beasts.

"teacher!"

Zhang Xuanming flew up and rushed to his side. Seeing that his mouth was stained with crimson blood, he couldn't help but frown.

"nothing!"

Shen He shook his head, raised his hand to wipe the blood from his lips, and then used his true energy to stabilize his internal injuries. In just a moment, the excruciating pain subsided considerably, and he couldn't help but exclaim, "Truly, it is the Heavenly Mandate Emperor Spirit!"

Seeing that he was alright and could still speak, Zhang Xuanming relaxed, but then doubts arose again: "Teacher, why did they suddenly leave?"

What else can we do but not refund?

Shen He smiled and said, "I can't do anything to them, and they can't do anything to me. In the end, it's either a fight to the death or one side has to go far away. They're just trying to protect themselves."

"I see!"

Zhang Xuanming suddenly understood, but his doubts remained: "After they go back, will they gather a large army to attack, or... cultivate destiny!?"

"That depends on them."

Shen He laughed and said, "No matter what, we'll meet force with force and water with water!"

His words were calm, but Zhang Xuanming still hesitated, even showing some trepidation: "What if they really disregard the Dark Demon King Beast and send the next generation of Destiny Spirit Masters here..."

It's no wonder he's like this. Although these nine Emperor Spirits are the destiny of the past, they can already contend with Shen He and even have the upper hand. If the Holy City of Spirit Control really becomes desperate and disregards the Dark Demon King Beast to cultivate the next generation of destiny to attack the Martial Kingdom, then the Martial Kingdom's situation will be worrying.

After all, he was a Celestial Spirit Master, a Celestial Spirit Master whom even the Dark Demon King could not match. His power was deeply ingrained in the hearts of the people and was an unchanging iron law of the Spirit Master Continent for thousands of years.

Zhang Xuanming was filled with worry, but Shen He didn't care. He flipped his hand and took out an object, his eyes filled with an inscrutable expression: "Destiny... Ha!"

……

On the other side, outside of Wuhan.

A divine light descended, and everyone appeared.

"puff!!!"

"teacher?"

The previous guardian's body trembled and spat out a mouthful of blood, which horrified everyone, especially Bai Dongfang.

Zhong Qingcang's expression was cold as he turned to the woman who had been talking to Shen He earlier: "Quickly heal his wounds!"

The woman nodded and used her spiritual power to heal his injuries.

Meanwhile, the old man in black angrily questioned Zhong Qingcang, "Why did you retreat? We had already severely injured him. If we had just pressed our advantage..."

"Go all out in one go?"

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted. Zhong Qingcang looked at him coldly: "He has five great imperial beasts, including the Golden-Winged Roc King. His strange power is terrifying. How confident are you that you can keep him here?"

"This……"

The old man in black hesitated, unsure how to refute.

Zhong Qingcang shook his head: "He can't do anything to us, and we can't do anything to him. If we don't want to fight to the death, we can only withdraw first."

The old man in black was unwilling: "So we're just going to let him start a war?"

"We certainly can't let this go unchecked!"

Zhong Qingcang shook his head and turned to look at Jun Cangming and the others: "With his current strength, it will take him some time to unify the Eastern Continent. We old guys still have several decades of life left. Within these decades, you must advance to the level of Emperor Spirit. At that time, the Seventeen Destinies will join forces and, even at the cost of our lives, we will eliminate him."

"This……"

Upon hearing this, all the successors to the Mandate of Heaven were greatly shocked.

The old man in black was also somewhat taken aback, but he quickly turned around and said, "Li Taiyi's growth rate is too terrifying. Even if our disciple becomes an Emperor Spirit, we may not be able to defeat him."

"So we need to have more than just this one plan in mind!"

Zhong Qingcang took a deep breath and looked into the distance: "I've made up my mind. When I get back, I will apply to the city lord to train the next generation of Destiny Spirit Masters and make preparations for relocation."

"what?"

Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed. The woman who was healing the Guardian Chapter turned around abruptly and stared straight at him: "Are you really going to use the power of destiny to deal with him?"

Zhong Qingcang nodded: "This is the only way we can do it!"

"What about the Dark Demon Beast?"

The woman's expression was icy: "You're gambling with the entire Spirit Control Continent!"

"I told you, this is the only way!"

Zhong Qingcang remained expressionless, coldly observing everyone: "If we allow him to spread the flames of war across the continent, the Dark Demon King Beast will be resurrected ahead of schedule, and we will still have to cultivate new Fated Spirit Masters. This is an unchangeable outcome."

"But Dark Lord Beast..."

"The power of destiny is the highest power in the world!"

The woman was about to speak when Zhong Qingcang forcefully interrupted her: "As long as it doesn't clash with an equal amount of dark power, the power of destiny won't dissipate. Although the power he possesses is strange and terrifying, it hasn't reached the limits of destiny. A Destiny Spirit Master can eliminate him without causing destiny to dissipate."

Having said that, he ignored the woman's reaction and looked directly at the other Imperial Spirits: "Whether to fight or concede, let each of you vote!"
