High Martial Arts: I Travel Through Heaven and Earth Through Dreams

Just as the emperor and his minister were on the high platform, pointing out the state of the country with great enthusiasm.

What they didn't know was that on the north gate of the capital city...

A handsome young man dressed in black had appeared here silently at some point.

On the city wall, squads of city guards patrolled back and forth, passing by him.

So many people, yet not one of them could detect his presence.

The young man in black stood quietly at the edge of the city wall.

His gaze fell upon the majestic imperial palace located in the very center of the capital.

The palace covered a vast area and was magnificent in scale.

Under the moonlight, countless palaces reflected a cool, gleaming light through their glazed tiles.

A golden dragon of fortune slept above the palace.

That was the power center of the entire Great Qi Dynasty, the most prestigious and majestic place in the entire Great Qi.

But in Lin Hanzhou's eyes, he felt that the palace was somewhat flawed.

He needs to make some slight improvements.

For example... like this.

Lin Hanzhou slowly raised his right hand.

He threw a seemingly ordinary punch at the magnificent palace in the distance.

Meanwhile, directly above the palace.

A golden sun, a hundred times more dazzling than the moon in the sky, appeared out of nowhere without warning.

It was a gigantic fist formed from the purest golden true essence.

It was so enormous that it completely enveloped the entire vast palace.

A terrifying pressure, powerful enough to make heaven and earth tremble, swept across the entire capital city, centered on the golden sun.

At that moment, all the sleeping people in the capital city suddenly shuddered.

They were all instantly awakened by this terrifying pressure that seemed to come from a god.

They all looked up at the sky in a panic.

Then they witnessed a scene that would be unforgettable for them, a scene that seemed like a miracle.

It was the middle of the night.

But the entire capital was illuminated as bright as day by that golden sun that hovered above the palace!

What incredible power this is!

……..........

Inside the palace.

All the fourth-tier experts who were in seclusion for cultivation were startled by this sudden and terrifying pressure.

"Hmm? What is this aura? It's so terrifying!"

"This is bad, this aura is coming from the palace..."

They stared in horror at the terrifying sun overhead, which emanated an aura of endless destruction!

I felt a chill rise up my spine.

They tried to escape, but to their despair, they found themselves locked in place by an irresistible and terrifying aura.

Escape? With such extraordinary means, they would have no chance of escape.

……...............

On the stargazing platform.

At this moment, the Imperial Preceptor no longer possessed the confident and dignified demeanor he had just displayed.

He was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground, trembling uncontrollably like a sieve.

He looked up at the golden sun that covered the entire palace and was slowly setting.

Feeling that terrifying aura, he couldn't even muster the thought of resisting.

In his heart, there was only deep despair.

He spoke in a trembling voice to the emperor beside him, whose face was already ashen.

"Your Majesty... Your... your feeling might... be right..."

Upon hearing this, the Emperor of Qi remained silent.

He just stared blankly at the "sun" that was about to set.

It's time to come.

He knew that this terrifying aura had long since far exceeded the scope of the Heavenly Rank.

This is absolutely the power that only a legendary Saint-level expert could possess!

If we convert this realm to martial arts, it corresponds to the fifth rank, a realm that is currently unattainable for him.

The Emperor of Qi was utterly perplexed. Where had he gone to offend such a reclusive and unparalleled expert?!

Faced with this terrifying aura, as powerful as the might of heaven, he could only feel a deep sense of powerlessness and despair.

But he was, after all, an emperor!

He can die!

But we must never die without dignity!

In his final moments before death, the Emperor of Qi mustered his courage.

He unleashed his terrifying aura as a fourth-tier True Essence Realm cultivator without reservation.

He soared into the sky, like a moth drawn to a flame, rushing towards the slowly descending golden sun.

He mustered all his strength and let out a final roar.

"Gentlemen, follow me... and fight to the death—!"

"Only by fighting to the death can we find a way out!"

Inside the palace, those fourth-tier powerhouses who had been terrified and filled with despair...

Hearing the emperor's death-defying roar, even he was stirred by the last vestige of his fighting spirit.

They knew that they would surely die in the face of such a powerful figure.

Either way, I'm going to die.

Rather than waiting to die here, it's better to die a glorious death in battle!

"War! War! War!"

In an instant, more than twenty figures flew out of the palace.

The lowest level among these figures was the fourth-order True Essence Realm.

Through the transformation of martial arts over the years, and the accumulation of resources regardless of cost.

The number of fourth-tier powerhouses produced by their Great Qi is not small!

Of course, this is also thanks to the fact that after a Ghost Master switches to martial arts, they can inherit most of their cultivation.

Otherwise, no matter how they cultivate, they could never directly reach the fourth-order True Essence Realm.

Even so, with so many fourth-tier powerhouses attacking together, fearlessly charging towards that world-destroying sun.

They still couldn't change the fact that the palace would be destroyed.

Their attack, powerful enough to split mountains and cleave seas, vanished the moment it touched the golden sun.

It vanished without a trace, like a clay ox sinking into the sea.

They themselves were burned to ashes and disappeared into the world by that terrifying Great Sun Fire.

The process happened in an instant; they didn't even have time to scream.

Finally, the golden sun, which had gathered all of Lin Hanzhou's power, slowly descended upon the imperial palace.

It wasn't moving fast, as if it was deliberately giving people time to experience its terror and power.

There was no earth-shattering noise, nor any world-destroying explosion.

On the contrary, everything seemed unusually calm, even somewhat eerie.

In the midst of this tranquility, the entire Great Qi Imperial Palace, with its seven-hundred-year history, collapsed, vanished, and vaporized in an instant...

The palace that once symbolized the glory and honor of the Great Qi Dynasty has now vanished into nothingness.

Lin Hanzhou's punch erased the imperial palace from the map of the capital.

Where the palace once stood, only a bottomless, enormous pit remains.

Inside the deep pit, a small amount of residual Great Sun True Fire was still burning fiercely.

This remaining Great Sun True Fire became the last trace of the Great Qi Dynasty.

The once glorious Qi Dynasty, with its seven-hundred-year reign, was thus shattered by Lin Hanzhou's single punch.
