Chapter 608: Martial Arts Supreme

Above the nine heavens.

A huge blood-colored pupil, more than five hundred feet in size, appeared, breaking through the pitch-black clouds and staring at Donghai City.

Absurd, strange, evil...

The appearance of the huge blood-colored pupil seemed to gather all the evil in the world.

Causing negative emotions to rise unconsciously in people's hearts.

Those with profound cultivation in the city could see at a glance.

That was clearly a person's Dharma image!

"Is it a Soul Transformation Xueying Laozu?!"

The cultivators of Donghai City exclaimed.

Just as the blood-colored pupil appeared, they saw a tall old man ascend to the sky; although he had no heaven-shaking Dharma image, his momentum was not weak in the slightest.

This was Donghai City.

Naturally, someone soon recognized that the tall old man was the previous City Lord of Donghai City—Gao Tianxia!

The blood-colored pupil blinked.

Just in that opening and closing, Gao Tianxia had already arrived.

With just one punch.

Instantly—

Clouds stretching for who knows how many thousands of miles were broken open, the bright moon was obscured, and the blood-colored pupil erupted with endless blood glow, as if blood-red clouds illuminated half the sky.

The next instant.

The blood-colored pupil disappeared, and along with it, Gao Tianxia also disappeared.

"Is this the Soul Transformation Realm?"

Nie Siming, Yuan Xiong, and the others looked up at the sky.

Their eyes were filled with excitement.

They were military cultivators and were naturally extremely eager for strength.

To fight three thousand miles away in a single thought.

How could they not envy such god-like methods?

Just as the few were envying.

A figure had already quietly returned to the Wu'an Marquis Prefecture.

Ning Zhongtian said happily: "Big Brother."

But soon it turned into astonishment.

They saw Li Rui holding two corpses that had already lost their vitality; they were two of the six Dao Body Realm experts who had set up the demonic array to slaughter the city.

One of them was none other than the blood-haired child.

Those were two Dao Body Realm experts.

And they had died just like that.

Ning Zhongtian couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

His Big Brother was truly fierce to an unimaginable degree.

Li Rui spoke faintly: "Hang these two corpses on the city wall, so that the people of Wan Fadian know the consequences."

"Very well."

Ning Zhongtian nodded.

Having said that.

Li Rui then looked up, toward the direction where his master Gao Tianxia had left.

Surprise appeared in his eyes.

Even he had absolutely no idea that Gao Tianxia had already broken through to Soul Transformation.

Worthy of being the number one in the world in the Jin Ting Small Cave Heaven.

Coming to the cultivation world, he was still fierce to an unimaginable degree.

Just at this moment.

Lines of small text also appeared before his eyes.

【Congratulations to the host for completing the "Famous in the Jianghu" plot—Martial Arts Supreme.】

【Walking the Jianghu, one should naturally seek fame; dominating the martial arts world, I alone am supreme. Congratulations to the host, after sixty years of time, you have finally achieved something, ascending to the top in one go, becoming the Martial Arts Supreme.】

【Completing the task "Martial Arts Supreme," reward is being calculated...】

【Task rating: S.】

【Obtained 50 achievement points!】

【Name: Li Rui】

【Age: 60】

【Talent: Superb Comprehension, Wisdom Eye, Great Dream Immortal Travel, Demon-Suppressing Victory, Innate Immortal Martial Dao Fetus】

【Cultivation Technique: Wan Gu Chang Qing Gong, True Martial Nurturing Soldier Art, Vast Sea Green Lotus Visualization Diagram, Immortal Dao Chang Qing Visualization Diagram, Zhuxian Array Diagram】

【Items: Spirit-Raising Book, Immortal Fruit】

【Achievement: 80/100】

Looking at the four characters "Martial Arts Supreme" on the panel.

Astonishment flashed in Li Rui's eyes.

He had anticipated that after slaying those Dao Body Realm experts, he would obtain achievements, but he never expected it to be an achievement like "Martial Arts Supreme."

But soon.

He heard the commotion outside the house and understood instantly. Where was this?

It was Donghai City.

Master Gao Tianxia had sat here as the number one in the world for a hundred years, and Donghai City had long since become a holy land for the martial arts people of the Yu Kingdom.

Tonight.

He fought six great experts with his own strength.

Completely subduing those Jianghu people.

Martial Arts Supreme was naturally well-deserved.

The small text jumping on the panel had just ended when more lines of small text appeared.

【You have spent sixty years becoming the Martial Arts Supreme, founded a great martial arts sect, went down the mountain alone to sweep away the demons of the world, kept the Jianghu peaceful for thirty years, and the disciples you took all became famous figures in the Jianghu; you began to pursue a higher realm, you began to try to evolve the Taiji, until one day... shattering the void.】

【Unlocked hidden achievement, Ruling the Eight Wildernesses!】

Li Rui's eyelids twitched.

This mention of the "Eight Wildernesses" originated from ancient times.

At that time, the world was not divided into fourteen continents, but into the Eight Wildernesses.

The last person to achieve ruling the Eight Wildernesses.

Was that Lord of the Immortal Court!

This achievement could not be called anything but great.

A full seven days passed.

Before Gao Tianxia returned.

That Xueying Laozu of Wan Fadian had been chased by him for half of Taihua Continent; this was the power of verifying the Dao through strength.

"Master."

Li Rui looked at the returning Gao Tianxia.

The still-tall Gao Tianxia appeared vividly in the front courtyard of the Wu'an Marquis Prefecture.

"Little Rui, we martial artists should always have something in reserve, do you know?"

Li Rui listened earnestly to his master's teachings.

Having something in reserve...

Ginger is indeed spicier when old.

Before he was even born, this master was already the number one in the world, and his Jianghu experience was far too much for him.

The most powerful thing in the Jianghu is nothing more than keeping an ace up one's sleeve.

His master had actually hidden a whole major realm, which truly surprised him.

It was just that, unlike his own tribulation inside his body.

His master had gone to the Heaven Beyond Heaven.

Indeed.

It was the same Heaven Beyond Heaven that Marquis Dingyuan Liao Qi went to; it was an extremely special place, transcending the cultivation world.

Precisely because of this.

That True Person Miejue of Wan Fadian could not discover the tribulation.

But one must know one thing.

The Heaven Beyond Heaven is a battlefield.

Inside are endless extraterrestrial demons; in other words, if Gao Tianxia wanted to hide the tribulation, he not only had to go to the Heaven Beyond Heaven, but also go deep into it, while dealing with the heavenly tribulation and also dealing with those extraterrestrial demons.

It could not be called anything but perilous.

Ordinary cultivators were already using all their strength just to deal with the heavenly tribulation; how would they dare to be distracted?

Only an existence like Gao Tianxia, who verified the Dao through strength, would dare to do so.

The danger was great, but the effect was also extremely good.

Otherwise, Donghai City might have been directly wiped out today.

Li Rui was also surprised by his master's accumulation and breakthrough.

Enjoying the luck of a small cave heaven alone.

Coupled with several hundred years of accumulation.

Breaking through realms quickly was normal.

Gao Tianxia looked at Li Rui, appreciation appearing in his eyes: "Little Rui, your True Martial Realm is not bad, it has some meaning. All Daos lead to the same destination; we grandfather and grandson don't need to walk the same path. Practice well, you can have a great future."

Li Rui nodded: "Yes, Master."

If his senior brothers saw this, they would certainly be shocked.

What kind of person was Gao Tianxia?

He walked the path of the invincible.

Being willing to say words like "all Daos lead to the same destination" meant he recognized Li Rui's path from the bottom of his heart.

It surpassed all praise.

Clearly, the scene of Li Rui revealing his True Martial Realm and suppressing the six Dao Body Realm experts just now had been seen by Gao Tianxia.

Subsequently.

Li Rui accompanied Gao Tianxia out, walking all the way to the Donghai Pavilion.

Ascending the pavilion.

They happened to see the rising sun, illuminating the sea surface until it was bright red.

Gao Tianxia stood with his hands behind his back, facing away from Donghai City, and spoke faintly:

"Then let us have another sixty years of sweeping away demons."
