LGHTNOVELBOOK Chapter 161
Chapter 161 The End of the Martial Arts World:
The Qi and Blood Martial Arts system revolves around the human body, using Qi and blood as its foundation.
The Body-Forging Realm forms the base, focusing on refining the physical body to make it extraordinary, surpassing ordinary human limits.
In the Xiantian Realm, warriors begin to understand and control Gang Qi. They harness Qi, blood, and martial arts elements, mimicking the forces of heaven and earth with their strength.
The Human Immortal Realm transforms the qi and blood of heaven and earth from intangible to tangible. In this realm, the warrior embodies the power of heaven and earth itself. What flows within their body transcends mere qi and blood—it becomes the very essence of the universe.
In the Other Shore Realm, warriors metaphorically cross the river of body and mind, their inner worlds growing stronger with each life cycle. They open multiple interconnected inner worlds, coexisting in harmony, creating vast and boundless power.
This immense power highlights the chasm between the Other Shore Realm and the Human Immortal Realm. The difference is not merely numerical but lies in the profound integration of heaven, earth, Tao, Qi, and the essence of the physical body.
When the power within a warrior reaches a critical threshold, they transcend physically, leaving the constraints of the world behind. They can cross the chaotic void without relying on external aid. This is true transcendence.
“But… I think I’m different from others,” Wu Yingxue murmured.
After slaying the Golden Yao Demon Saint, she stood still, her expression uncertain. She gazed at her hands, noticing the intricate lines on her palms while sensing something unusual about her inner world.
Every moment, her inner world signaled insatiable hunger.
Within her, the inner world was undergoing an extraordinary transformation, consuming the principles of heaven and earth at an astonishing pace. Even the demonic essence left behind by the fallen Golden Yao Demon Saint was being devoured.
“It doesn’t seem like a bad thing,” she said after observing for a while.
Breaking through to the Other Shore Realm, she decided not to delve further into these changes. For Wu Yingxue, the nature of the transformation was secondary to the strength it brought her.
There were so many things she had longed to accomplish but couldn’t due to a lack of power. Now, with the strength of the Other Shore Realm, those ambitions could finally take shape.
With the demonic essence absorbed, she soared into the sky.
When she reappeared, she stood within the familiar terrain of the Shiwan Mountains. Stretching out her palm, she summoned a spear of heaven and earth.
The weapon shimmered as she took aim.
“Buzz—”
A faint hum rose, subtle at first, then growing into a thunderous roar.
The spear swept across the Shiwan Mountains like a force of nature, leveling everything in its path. Mountains crumbled, massive rocks tumbled, and countless demons perished in the ensuing disaster, their death cries lost in the chaos.
“Sir, do you see me now? I can protect you…”
Wu Yingxue’s voice was soft, filled with longing.
She had once wanted nothing more than to protect Xu Xi, but she had lacked the strength. Now, she had the power, but the person she wanted to protect was gone.
There was no greater sorrow than this.
…
She swung her spear silently, the weapon’s light as brilliant as the Milky Way, cleaving mountains and annihilating demons.
Finally, she extended her hand, wrapping all the humans trapped in the Shiwan Mountains in the protective embrace of heaven and earth’s power, carrying them away.
This act shocked the martial arts world. Humans, demons, and other races alike were left speechless by Wu Yingxue’s overwhelming display of strength.
“This kind of power… It doesn’t seem like she’s newly ascended to the Other Shore Realm,” some murmured in disbelief.
“It’s almost as if…”
Speculation spread. People wondered if Wu Yingxue was gifted enough to step into transcendence directly.
The mere thought was terrifying, silencing even the demons, who no longer dared to mention hunting Wu Yingxue.
But while the demons stayed away from her, she actively sought them out.
Decades passed.
Wu Yingxue’s power continued to evolve. Her inner worlds expanded to six, cycling endlessly. The Qi and blood condensed from these worlds could shatter mountains effortlessly.
“Die.”
The word was calm, devoid of emotion, spoken as casually as a greeting.
One day, she ventured alone into the heart of the demon clan’s territory.
Armed with her spear of heaven and earth, she swept through like a tempest. Gods fell, saints perished, and demons were eradicated in an instant.
“You insolent child!” a demon roared.
In desperation, even the transcendent demons acted. Yet they could only force Wu Yingxue to retreat momentarily.
Her deeds sent shockwaves through the martial arts world.
People celebrated her as the rising sun of their era, a symbol of hope and strength. She stood alongside the transcendent as one of the strongest, commanding admiration and awe.
“She will be the brightest star for tens of thousands of years!” someone proclaimed.
But Wu Yingxue’s legend did not stop there.
Two centuries later, she launched her final offensive against the demon clan.
Why the final?
Because this time, she utterly destroyed them.
Over the centuries, her inner worlds had undergone even more mysterious changes, giving rise to countless miracles.
“Die.”
The word echoed again, calm and resolute.
Within the demon’s realm, countless demons gazed at the sky in terror.
A brilliant, icy light descended—a spear forged from the boundless power of heaven and earth.
It was so immense and radiant that it seemed to stretch endlessly.
Even the transcendent demons tried to flee, but their paths were blocked by the spear’s overwhelming force.
In despair, they, along with the rest of their kind, met their end.
After this decisive battle, silence fell upon the martial arts world.
There was no need for proclamations or celebrations. Wu Yingxue had become the undisputed strongest, a title that needed no argument.
“Sir…”
Wu Yingxue felt no joy in her triumph. Instead, a profound calm enveloped her.
Her unmatched strength brought her no fulfillment. Its only purpose, as far as she was concerned, was to ensure that others could live.
Under her guidance, the human race in the martial arts world became unified and harmonious. Hunger and strife were eliminated, and every individual lived well.
Other races, too, revered her as a deity, hailing her as Emperor Wu.
Centuries later, when she saw that the survival army no longer needed her protection, she left behind a guiding principle to maintain balance in the martial arts world.
Then, Wu Yingxue departed, venturing into the endless chaos to chase the stars and seek new horizons.
