Chapter 377: The Levels of the Eighth Realm
In any case, since the people of the Martial Alliance have already appeared nearby, it means they are heading for the Tai Xu World.
They arrived a bit earlier than expected.
But it’s not the worst timing, because the Human Federation was actually prepared.
And at this time, Shen Xing was also in his position—the position of the Great Emperor.
Yes, since he had prepared an “answer” for the people of the Martial Alliance, he naturally had to act accordingly.
He had even requisitioned Azure Sky Island, turning the entire island into his “Imperial Palace.”
Of course, there was no Empress.
Shen Xing’s image was that of a martial artist obsessed with the Martial Path, so there was not much point in pretending otherwise.
And that was indeed his true personality.
In his life of less than two thousand years, the vast majority had been spent in cultivation. Someone not obsessed with the Martial Path could not have achieved this.
He didn’t have to wait long.
Just two or three years later, an incredibly massive spaceship, filled with boundless Yuan Qi, forcefully tore through space and descended before Azure Sky Island.
This alone almost caused the entire world to collapse.
Shen Xing’s eyebrows furrowed.
With a wave of his hand, he easily resealed the world that seemed about to shatter.
This move seemed to catch them off guard, causing even the Eighth Realm martial artists on the spaceship to be momentarily stunned.
“This native Eighth Realm is not simple!”
The Eighth Realm martial artist managing the spaceship was named Meng Ju.
Before arriving in this native world, he had been filled with disdain for his mission, thinking it was just a routine check on a project that had suffered a major failure, and to give the natives a small shock. The whole process would perhaps only have a little bit of fun at the very end.
But, having fun was one thing.
As a Great Sage, he wasn’t so arrogant that he lacked this kind of insight.
This native Great Emperor was indeed skilled!
This level of space manipulation was not something an ordinary Eighth Realm martial artist could do. At least, he himself couldn’t do it without the help of a magical treasure.
Immediately, Meng Ju decided to change his approach.
In the Martial Alliance’s long process of conquering the void, they had inevitably encountered some powerful or promising native martial artists. Their attitude towards these martial artists was completely different.
They would try to truly accept them as part of themselves, making them serve the Martial Alliance forever.
The entire Martial Alliance had grown rapidly in this way.
However, it was just one move, so there was no need to rush to a decision.
“Who will go test his level?” he turned and said to the Great Sages behind him.
Spaceships like this often had more than ten Eighth Realm Great Sages.
Although within the Martial Alliance, the Eighth Realm already held an extremely high position, Eighth Realms were not all the same.
Eighth Realms could vary greatly in strength. Someone like Meng Ju could almost match the combined strength of all the other Eighth Realms on the entire spaceship. And within the Martial Alliance, the difference in status brought about by this difference in strength was also enormous, beyond what ordinary people could imagine.
Now, facing Meng Ju’s question, this group of Eighth Realms was filled with a desire to show off.
“Let me go, Your Excellency,” one of them, named Hao Ran, spoke first.
After he spoke, the other Eighth Realms seemed to have lost their enthusiasm.
Meng Ju looked at the Eighth Realm who had spoken, and was quite satisfied.
This one was the most powerful of all the Eighth Realms under his command.
Although he had only stepped into the Eighth Realm for less than ten thousand years, his talent and growth speed were indeed astonishing.
If there was anyone among this group of Eighth Realms who might reach his current level in the future, or even own a Void Spaceship of their own, it would only be this one.
“Hao Ran, don’t be careless,” Meng Ju still reminded him, “According to our previous investigation, although this one hasn’t been in the Eighth Realm for long, his strength is indeed powerful. It’s not just that move just now. Just seeing how naturally he can use his power in this fragile world shows his mastery of space.”
“I understand, please rest assured, Your Excellency,” Hao Ran didn’t show the slightest bit of contempt.
Although he was born in a Martial Great World, having grown to this level, he was naturally not some young novice. In these years following Your Excellency Meng Ju in exploring the endless void, he had also discovered martial artists with extremely astonishing talents in some worlds.
According to some theories within the Alliance, it was easier for martial arts miracles to be born in harsh environments.
Many martial artists within the Martial Alliance were even deliberately thrown into some small worlds for training.
But even so, the limit of growth in a small world was at most the Seventh Realm.
At the Eighth Realm level, the civilization’s foundation was particularly important.
Similarly, if a martial artist truly appeared who could break the rules on his own, then even the Martial Alliance would have to treat him with respect.
Was the one before him that kind of person?
Hao Ran took a step forward, his figure appearing directly in front of Shen Xing.
“We are from the Martial Alliance,” Hao Ran’s expression was not arrogant, but his eyes glowed with a purple light, obviously some profound Martial Path Intent. He was carefully sizing up Shen Xing, “Are you the master of this world?”
“Martial Alliance?” Shen Xing nodded slightly, as if confirming something. Then, he raised his hand, and in an instant, terrifying Yuan Power roared out.
Hao Ran’s expression changed drastically.
In his perception, the surrounding space seemed to become incredibly viscous in that instant.
The Yuan Power that filled it was so powerful that it far exceeded his expectations.
Even Meng Ju on the spaceship had a change in expression at this moment.
Because it was too powerful.
Far more powerful than they had anticipated!
It wasn’t that they had seen any spatial mysteries, but simply because of the quality and intensity of the Yuan Power.
The Martial Alliance divided the Eighth Realm martial artists into five stages, and the gap between each stage was very obvious, a gap that most martial arts techniques could not overcome.
Hao Ran and most of his subordinates were in the first stage, while he himself was in the second stage.
But now, whether it was their senses or the detection magical treasures on the spaceship, they clearly showed that this person’s Yuan Power quality had already reached the third stage!
In a native world that was already collapsing, a third-stage Eighth Realm martial artist had actually been born?
And how long had he been cultivating!
◈◈◈
“No, no, he absolutely can’t be like what we asked about before, a native who only used a few thousand years to reach this stage!” Meng Ju’s expression was now extremely solemn, even with a hint of surprise.
As the owner of a Void Spaceship, he would receive generous rewards if he discovered something of extremely high value while exploring the void.
This could be a treasure of resources, a world of considerable value, or a powerful individual.
The rewards for discovering a powerful individual were the greatest!
Especially a powerful individual of this level!
At this time, Meng Ju hadn’t thought about the treasure from ten thousand years ago yet, but Shen Xing had indeed attracted his attention!
However, the one who was most miserable at this moment was Hao Ran.
He had already tried all of his techniques, but to no avail!
The surrounding space was like a powerful seal. He could see that it was a powerful Eighth Realm Inscription, but even so, the feeling of having no power to resist still filled him with unwillingness.
But Shen Xing, at this moment, did nothing. He just stood aside, looking down at him, as if trying to judge the level of the Martial Alliance from his struggle.
He was clearly just a native!
But no matter how unwilling he was, reality clearly told him the answer!
In front of a powerhouse of this level, status was not an issue at all. In fact, once the other party joined the Martial Alliance, he would instantly gain a status and future that far surpassed his own!
Martial artists, no matter where they went, had to rely on their strength.
“Great Emperor, please be merciful,” Meng Ju’s figure appeared outside the spaceship at this time, but he still stood on the imposing spaceship, his whole body’s Yuan Power closely connected to the entire spaceship.
Just the slight leakage of Yuan Power directly caused large spatial rifts in the surroundings.
If Shen Xing’s power wasn’t still maintaining the stability of the entire space, this world would have collapsed again at this time.
However, through this display of power, Shen Xing also clearly recognized the level of this spaceship.
Technologically, it was indeed extraordinary.
It wasn’t just a simple accumulation of Yuan Power using Eighth Realm Inscriptions. The inscriptions on the entire spaceship had already become a whole, and in a sense, it even had a trace of the essence of a single inscription on the Shuttle.
This also gave the other party a huge boost.
At least a several-fold increase in strength.
No wonder, when Burning Heaven Great Sage faced the Eighth Realm of the Martial Alliance, he was so desperate.
Although this level was still within the scope of the Eighth Realm, it was indeed far beyond the level of Burning Heaven Great Sage and the others.
If he had to say it, it was probably equivalent to the mid-stage of the Eighth Realm, if the Eighth Realm had a mid-stage.
However, a hint of disdain appeared on the corner of Shen Xing’s mouth.
“Martial Alliance, what a big name, but your strength is only so-so,” he raised his hand again, and this time, the surging Yuan Power even enveloped the entire spaceship!
Meng Ju’s expression changed drastically, because he was shocked to find that the other party’s Yuan Power level had actually increased again!
It was rapidly approaching the fourth stage!
How was this possible?
“Great Emperor, please calm your anger!” Meng Ju didn’t care about much, and hurriedly shouted, “I am just an ordinary Eighth Realm in the Martial Alliance. There are many powerhouses in my Alliance. Moreover, we are friends, not enemies, with the Great Emperor. The Alliance welcomes all powerhouses to join!”
There was no other way. An Eighth Realm of the fourth stage also possessed extremely high power and status within the Alliance.
He was almost at the top of the pyramid.
If this person was truly a martial artist of that level, then after joining the Alliance and obtaining the Alliance’s resources and powerful magical treasures, he could only look up to him. Perhaps, he would even have the chance to reach the fifth stage, the level that was said to have reached the limit of the Eighth Realm and was exploring the path to a higher realm of the Martial Path!
“Welcome all powerhouses?” Shen Xing didn’t stop, but he didn’t attack further either.
He just looked at him coldly.
“My perception of you isn’t very good. This world was destroyed by you.”
“It can be repaired!” Meng Ju quickly said, “My Alliance even has the ability to create worlds. Not to mention repairing this world, even making it more powerful than before is easily done. With the Great Emperor’s ability, after joining the Alliance, you can even repair this world on your own.”
Where was the slightest bit of Meng Ju’s original appearance now?
His expression was even respectful to the extreme.
His heart was also somewhat nervous and uneasy. He even regretted coming to this world so abruptly.
No matter what, he should have investigated thoroughly what level the Great Emperor who unified the entire Tai Xu World was at!
But, the fourth stage!
How was this possible?
At this moment, Meng Ju’s heart was also filled with some fear and disbelief.
Their Martial Alliance controlled countless worlds and possessed countless resources. They had already reached the pinnacle of the Martial Path. They had never encountered any existence in the entire void that could compare to them!
But even with their power, they only had less than a hundred Eighth Realm martial artists at the fourth stage!
How could a martial artist who stayed in a broken world reach this level?
Could it be that he had some great opportunity?
Meng Ju thought of his mission here. Even though he had reached this level, at this moment, his soul still couldn’t help but jump violently.
Could it be?
If it was really like that, if it was really the supreme treasure that killed hundreds of Eighth Realm martial artists in one go! Then his achievement this time would truly be unparalleled!
However, Meng Ju obviously didn’t expect that Shen Xing’s strength was even more powerful than he had anticipated.
From the moment he stepped into the Eighth Realm, Shen Xing could feel the fundamental difference between his Yuan Power foundation and that of other Eighth Realms.
As long as he was in the void, his strength was almost constantly increasing wildly.
These past few years of researching the gaps in the universe had made his strength increase rapidly.
It wasn’t just his understanding of the Great Path of Space, but also his basic power.
Although he was still in the Eighth Realm, ordinary Eighth Realms were no longer in his eyes at all.
With such a huge gap in strength, just relying on some of the abilities he had learned from Wenren Caifeng was enough for Shen Xing to observe the emotional reactions of the Eighth Realm in front of him.
After discovering that this person’s aura had suddenly become agitated, he knew that the other party had thought of the supreme treasure.
It seemed that the strength he had shown now could be considered powerful even within the Martial Alliance.
That’s right, Shen Xing had made many preparations these past few years. The probing had actually begun from the moment they met.
