Chapter 372: Victory is in my grasp!

The emergence of this alliance was clearly beyond their initial expectations.

However, knowing the information was much better than being completely in the dark.

As the Burning Heaven Great Sage narrated, everyone gradually learned more information.

The name of this martial artist alliance was the Martial Alliance. Of course, they used a different language. It was said that some powerful martial artists even used inscriptions to design a language. The process of learning and using it could be closer to the profoundness of martial arts.

The entire Martial Alliance was mainly composed of four major martial arts worlds.

They possessed the ability to travel quickly in the void. Therefore, each martial arts world ruled more than one world.

And the Taiyuan Sect was actually created by one of these martial arts worlds!

That’s right, this sect was not originally a sect of the Taixu World. Or rather, it was a force from a martial arts world beyond this realm, using the martial artists of the Taixu World to establish a sect within the Taixu World!

It had been a million years since then.

The Taixu World of a million years ago actually had its own glorious civilization. That was the era that many sects now called “ancient”. Some of the transcendent technologies left behind from that era were enough to amaze the current martial artists, and even the martial artists of the Liantian Workshop had been studying them for hundreds of thousands of years.

“But even such a powerful ancient civilization was defeated a million years ago, and it was defeated without any resistance.” When the Burning Heaven Great Sage mentioned this, he didn’t even hide the sneer on his face. “It’s hard to imagine, right? The ancient civilization declined so quickly. At that time, all the survivors were taken away as servants and slaves by the people of that martial arts world. That’s why there is no complete inheritance of the ancient times left in the entire Taixu World.”

“Does this martial arts world you mentioned have Ninth Realm martial artists?” Shen Xing narrowed his eyes and suddenly asked.

“…” The Burning Heaven Great Sage fell silent.

“No?” Shen Xing raised an eyebrow.

“I’ve asked this question before.” The Burning Heaven Great Sage finally said slowly, “The answer is, no. The Ninth Realm is not an ordinary realm. It’s a completely new path. All the worlds in the entire void, all the martial artists are searching for it. But even so, they are definitely the martial artists in the entire void who are closest to the Ninth Realm. In terms of strength and transcendent technology, they far surpass us.”

“You lost badly?” Shen Xing asked again.

Even without saying much, everyone could see that this Burning Heaven Great Sage had definitely suffered a loss at the hands of the martial artists of that so-called martial arts world, and it was a big loss.

Even a Great Sage who had experienced hundreds of battles like him was almost shadowed by it!

Sure enough, the Burning Heaven Great Sage’s expression was somewhat gloomy.

“We were clearly using similar Yuan Power, but I had no power to resist. I still haven’t figured out how I lost.”

“I see.” Shen Xing nodded. “That’s not surprising. The world is vast, and there are too many unsolved mysteries. But constantly seeking answers is also the reason why we can continue to grow stronger.”

“Hehe.” The Burning Heaven Great Sage sneered twice. “You don’t understand.”

“No, I do.” Shen Xing interrupted him directly. “It’s just that you were easily suppressed. When I step into the Eighth Realm, I can do it even more easily.”

“…” The Burning Heaven Great Sage’s words froze in his mouth.

However, the look in his eyes as he looked at Shen Xing became extremely complicated.

Yes, this was a fact he had to admit.

Although he couldn’t move just now, he still saw everything in the entire battle.

Naturally, he understood that Shen Xing did have such potential.

This young martial artist’s attainments in space had already embarked on a path they could hardly imagine. Perhaps, even the four worlds of the Martial Alliance had not reached it!

“I don’t know what kind of supreme treasure you have mastered.” The Burning Heaven Great Sage’s expression suddenly changed. He looked deeply at Shen Xing. “But I know how crazy those martial artists of the Martial Alliance are to obtain this supreme treasure.”

“Including destroying the entire Taixu World?” Shen Xing asked.

“Destroy Taixu?” A trace of mockery appeared on the Burning Heaven Great Sage’s face. “No, in their eyes, what is Taixu worth? Destroying Taixu is not their purpose, nor is it all they have done. In order to obtain that mysterious supreme treasure, the price they paid was so heavy that even they themselves could hardly bear it!”

Shen Xing and Lin Zhaoyang exchanged glances.

Obviously, they had already thought of the secret realm in the Giant Beast World.

Hundreds of years ago, when the fallen Eighth Realm martial artist of the Human Federation explored that secret realm, he sent back news that most of the “equipment” or arrangements inside were used to treat injuries, and they were used to treat the injuries of Eighth Realm experts.

To be able to do this, it was not strange to say that they had paid a huge price.

“I don’t know what they did specifically, but that scene was indeed far beyond my comprehension.” When the Burning Heaven Great Sage said this, a trace of fear appeared in his eyes. “It was as if the entire void was cracking!”

“How can the void crack?” Shen Xing interrupted him, his expression also becoming somewhat solemn. “In the void, even the concept of ‘space’ doesn’t exist.”

“How would I know?” The Burning Heaven Great Sage laughed self-deprecatingly. “But it was indeed too similar. It was like tearing the world apart in the Taixu World. Seventh Realm martial artists can’t withstand that kind of tearing force. Eighth Realm martial artists also can’t withstand the impact of the void being torn apart. The Taixu World barely remained intact, but another world completely collapsed in an instant. In that instant, at least a hundred Eighth Realm martial artists fell!”

A hundred Eighth Realm martial artists!

Hearing this number, Shen Xing and the others were also very shocked.

The weight of this number even exceeded that of the entire current Human Federation!

Yes, although the Human Federation seemed very strong now, and even just a few people could easily defeat more than a dozen Great Sages.

However, more than a dozen and a hundred were completely different concepts!

No matter how powerful Lin Zhaoyang and the others were, they were still only in the early stage of the Eighth Realm. There was no essential difference between them and other early-stage Eighth Realm martial artists. If there were a hundred Eighth Realm martial artists standing opposite them, even if they had all just broken through to the Eighth Realm, then once they started fighting, they would only have one choice: to flee quickly.

Even if the entire Human Federation concentrated all its current power, it might not be able to deal with them.

But such a force was wiped out in an instant!

No wonder they needed treatment. It should be said that the Eighth Realm martial artists who could provide treatment under these circumstances were definitely experts.

“This loss seemed to have upset the balance, so after searching for more than three thousand years without results, they hastily withdrew. It seemed like they gave up halfway, but they left us behind.” The Burning Heaven Great Sage chuckled twice. “It’s ridiculous, isn’t it? They didn’t tell us what it was, only that it was related to space. Other than that, nothing.”

“How did you suspect me?” Shen Xing asked again.

“Just because of your performance.” The Burning Heaven Great Sage said readily, “We have been paying attention to the Taixu World. At first, we were just suspicious, but your strength is too powerful. We have never heard of a martial artist who could easily suppress hundreds of Sages with his own strength when he had just stepped into the Seventh Realm, including several Sages at the peak of the Seventh Realm. What’s more, your power is obviously related to space, and that supreme treasure is also related to space!”

Shen Xing nodded.

When he was dealing with the Taiyuan Sect, he did indeed behave in a rather astonishing manner.

◈◈◈

But at that time, he didn’t know about these things at all, and he didn’t take too many precautions.

After all, in his opinion, he was only a few thousand years away from true invincibility. And if anything went wrong, he could just return to the Human Federation.

He couldn’t just not use his power.

However, now that he knew, he couldn’t ignore it.

“What does the Taiyuan Sect have?” Fairy Meng Han, who had been listening, suddenly asked.

“That’s right, why can’t we destroy the Taiyuan Sect?” Shen Xing also looked over at this time.

“In the depths of the Taiyuan Sect, there is a secret realm used to contact them.” The Burning Heaven Great Sage seemed to have no scruples anymore and directly revealed such a thing.

Sure enough.

Shen Xing and the others had some guesses.

Although these Great Sages of the Taiyuan Sect had guessed that he might have the supreme treasure, they definitely didn’t have a way to contact those powerful beings. Otherwise, they wouldn’t need to come and capture him themselves. They only needed to notify their superiors.

In this way, things were not at their worst.

“Only those among us know about that secret realm, but it’s not easy to enter. It’s very dangerous for those who don’t know about it and are not strong enough.” The Burning Heaven Great Sage revealed everything. Then he looked at Shen Xing. “If you send people to seal and control it now, you can still buy some time. However, they attach great importance to that supreme treasure. Sooner or later, they will come back to check.”

“So what?” Shen Xing was noncommittal and showed no fear. “Even if they come now, as long as I can escape, it will be their doomsday sooner or later—the path to the Ninth Realm is already in my hands!”

Yes, there was no need to fear.

They might be powerful enough, but when he heard that they were only at the Eighth Realm, there was no need to fear.

Shen Xing had enough confidence in his own strength.

Just as Lin Zhaoyang initially said, even in the worst-case scenario, if the enemy came and they, including the entire Human Federation, were no match for them, as long as Shen Xing could escape, there was still a chance!

The Human Federation could still preserve the fire, and it could still start over and have a stronger, more glorious future.

Compared to the initial period of the Dark Era, this was not the worst-case scenario.

Under these circumstances, Shen Xing’s mentality was indeed stable.

“That’s right, you do have the confidence to say that.” The Burning Heaven Great Sage looked at Shen Xing, his gaze deep. At this time, he didn’t hide it anymore. “And I can see that the final victory might really be in your hands.”

He didn’t cooperate for no reason.

Naturally, it was because he saw a real chance of winning!

Although he didn’t know what that supreme treasure was, it was clear that this person in front of him had already obtained enough benefits from that supreme treasure!

Even if he didn’t need to open up a new realm and reach the Ninth Realm, which was theoretically uncertain whether it existed or not, as long as he reached the Eighth Realm, with this kind of space power, he might be able to protect himself in front of the Martial Alliance!

At that time, it would be clear who held the victory.

More importantly, the Burning Heaven Great Sage had no goodwill towards the Martial Alliance.

Yes, the Taiyuan Sect was indeed created by the Martial Alliance, but he was a native of the Taixu World!

“Do you want to join us?” Shen Xing also saw the Burning Heaven Great Sage’s intention.

“I want to join you!” The Burning Heaven Great Sage said directly, “You were right just now. Not only in the Taixu World, but in the world of martial arts, the strong are ultimately respected. Before, the Martial Alliance was stronger, but later, it is very likely that you will be stronger!”

That’s right, he didn’t need Shen Xing to trust him. As long as Shen Xing needed his power, that was enough!

A Great Sage, at this level, which one was simple?

Enemies and allies were the most mysterious judgments.

Shen Xing, Lin Zhaoyang, and the others looked at each other, and they could already see the answer in each other’s eyes.

Yes, they had no reason to refuse.

They didn’t need to trust him. As long as he was useful, that was enough.

“Even so, the seal on you cannot be lifted in a short time,” Shen Xing said.

“Good.” The Burning Heaven Great Sage was also straightforward. “I’m only surrendering now because I’m afraid of being expelled.”

“Hehe.” Shen Xing chuckled twice. “Then it’s time for you to show your worth.”

Yes, there were still a group of Great Sages hesitating not far away.

But the Burning Heaven Great Sage’s surrender would definitely give those Great Sages a big push.

Who was the Burning Heaven Great Sage?

He was a veteran of the Taiyuan Sect and one of their strongest. Looking at all the Great Sages in the entire Eighth Realm world, he was also one of the undisputed strongest!

If such a person surrendered, then the strength of this Federation Sacred Ground was indeed extremely powerful.

Not to mention these Great Sages who actually didn’t know the details, even the Great Sages of the Taiyuan Sect who knew the reasons behind it would be shaken!

Because the Burning Heaven Great Sage’s surrender meant that the Taiyuan Sect’s biggest secret, their last trump card, and their strongest backing were all known to the Federation Sacred Ground!

And now, the only secret realm that could bring help was also under the control of the Federation Sacred Ground!

If they continued to fight, the hope of winning was extremely slim!

The entire Eighth Realm world fell silent for a while.

It wasn’t short, it was decades.

However, this time was just a blink of an eye for Eighth Realm martial artists.

Anyway, Shen Xing had been constantly absorbing Yuan Qi from this world and rapidly becoming stronger. He was not in a hurry.
