Chapter 172: The Ephemeral Nature of Gathering and Parting
Chapter 172: The Ephemeral Nature of Gathering and Parting
Xu Sanyang soared through the skies, his feet seemingly treading on thin air as he flew.
Along the way, he encountered followers and kin of the Evil God, dispatching them with ease.
He turned his gaze towards the direction of Blue Star University, and with the unique perspective of his Martial Arts Dharma Form, he saw a solitary cloud drifting downwards. He nodded in satisfaction, "The old principal has finally freed himself. It seems there's no major issue... I feel like Blue Star University has been a constant target lately."
"Not only was I, an outstanding graduate, framed... but this time, Blue Star University has probably suffered the heaviest losses. After all, we attracted the attention of the Moon God, causing Him to descend upon Blue Star and even glance at the university..."
"Although the lives of the common folk are insignificant, and the cycle of life and death repeats every decade or so, there is truth to the saying that a common man's anger can cause blood to spill."
"I am a martial artist! And a madman at that... Those fools at the Federation even went as far as to shut down the 'Omniscient Brain' to aid them..."
Xu Sanyang had a clear goal in mind as he descended upon a wealthy district.
As the triple suns set, one of the castles was reduced to vapor, revealing a sturdy underground shelter.
"Who's there?"
Bodyguards rushed out, among them were practitioners at the Martial Golden Core stage, and even some at the Vajra stage.
Then, with a single palm strike from Xu Sanyang, they were all slain.
He tore through the massive metal door and entered a living room, where he saw a plump young man cowering on the ground, overwhelmed by Xu Sanyang's Martial Will.
"Sanyang... we're friends. What happened to you back then wasn't my doing..."
Before the young man could finish his plea, Xu Sanyang twisted his neck, ending his life.
"I know, and?" Xu Sanyang replied with a sinister smile. "I feel like it!"
He casually strolled to a nearby wine cabinet and poured himself a glass of red wine.
Just as he took a sip, the underground room exploded.
Whoosh!
A beam of pitch-black light descended and materialized into a machine-clad figure, its surface adorned with dragon patterns, exuding an ominous aura. "Xu Sanyang... How dare you take a life?"
A youthful voice, filled with rage, emanated from within the machine.
"So what if I did? Go ahead and add it to my sentence... Anyway, I've been quite comfortable in the psychiatric hospital." Xu Sanyang stretched leisurely. "All those who conspired against me will die! Including you!"
"Even if you become a Martial Saint, my 'Three-Winged Black Dragon' will never lose to you... It seems the only option is to execute you here and now."
This mech pilot was clearly aware of Xu Sanyang's fearsome reputation, and with some backing of his own, he knew that a proper trial might result in Xu Sanyang being sent back to the psychiatric hospital.
Therefore, he decided to take matters into his own hands and kill him on the spot!
His mech was equipped with antimatter blades and special annihilation missiles, capable of taking down even a Martial Saint...
Boom!
Before the mech pilot could finish his train of thought, the ground beneath Xu Sanyang's feet shattered, and a sci-fi-esque mechanical giant emerged.
"Is that... the Yang Tian?! And it's equipped with the latest weapons module?! The Xu family has gone too far!" The mech pilot shouted in fury.
"Don't be like that. Weren't you always boasting about your mech?" Xu Sanyang merged with the Yang Tian and replied with a mocking smile. "My mech's configuration is similar to yours... Let's have a little contest. When the hardware is equal, it all comes down to the pilot."
The dragon-patterned mech remained silent, turned around, and fled!
There was no other choice but to run!
Because its pilot knew that he was no match for Xu Sanyang!
The Yang Tian let out a derisive laugh and gave chase...
Moments later, Xu Sanyang toyed with a massive mech head in his hand, casually tossing it aside. "How boring... Is this the emptiness that follows the fulfillment of a grudge? If this is what emptiness feels like, I'd rather remain in this state forever..."
On the control panel, a screen of cerulean light appeared, revealing a bespectacled young girl. "Brother... you've gone too far. Have you forgotten who's been maintaining and repairing your mech all these years? As soon as you came out, you went straight to kill, and now the higher-ups are displeased!"
"It's fine. The old man can handle it," Xu Sanyang replied nonchalantly.
"He can handle it, but Grandpa asked me to tell you that you still need to establish some merit. Report those deaths as accidental... Now that you're a Martial Saint, join the military as a Major General, and you can even run for parliamentarian in the future..." The girl scolded.
"Of course, I've already found the merit you need. Let's talk when I get back..." Xu Sanyang cut off the communication, ignoring the furious girl, and chuckled to himself, "What a crazy world... I can bear the consequences of a common man's anger, but only because I have a good family background... Ah, life in the psychiatric hospital was simpler."
...
Blue Star University.
A colossal palm reached out, shattering the night's veil.
A solitary cloud descended, revealing an elderly man clad in white martial attire.
He gazed upon the towering Bashe zombie, as large as a mountain, and gently pressed his palm downward.
In the vast sky above, white clouds gathered, forming a gigantic hand that grasped the massive Bashe, lifting it effortlessly.
"Ye Liuyun?!"
'Ancient Sword Connection' exclaimed in a hoarse voice, and with a mighty punch, he unleashed -
The Great Venerable God's Fist!
As this punch landed, the three-headed, six-armed dark blue demon behind him followed suit.
The foundation of a Martial Saint lies in their Martial Arts Dharma Form!
Thus, the most powerful martial arts techniques often require the utilization of one's Martial Arts Dharma Form to be executed effectively.
The Great Venerable God's Fist was a technique of the highest caliber, surpassing the S-rank in the classification of the Daming Supreme God Fist. When combined with Gu Jianton's photochemical abilities, it was almost comparable to the legendary Buddha's Palm Technique.
A mere Martial Saint, upon mastering this move, could challenge a Martial God!
"The Monist School has changed; they now only bully the old, the weak, the sick, and the disabled."
With a casual flick of his sleeve, Meng Lao was pushed aside by Ye Liuyun, infuriating him to the point of nearly spitting blood. "Little Ye, who are you calling old, weak, sick, and disabled? Let's have a spar... I'll even let you use one hand, and I won't use my Martial Saint law form!"
Ye Liuyun smiled faintly. Facing the blazing white-hot sun and the shadow of a fist within it, countless white clouds appeared around him, layer upon layer, transforming into a sitting Buddha with dangling earlobes like pearls, manifesting the 'Perfect Countenance.'
The Buddha brought his hands together and unleashed a mighty palm strike—the Buddha's Palm!
The pinnacle of martial arts was not exclusive to the master of the Monist School alone!
Furthermore, Ye Liuyun's cultivation had already reached the realm of a Martial God, and his martial arts law form had evolved once more into a 'Martial Arts Primordial Spirit'!
The primordial spirit he cultivated was the 'Impermanence of Gathering and Scattering Buddha's Law Body'!
As he executed this palm strike, it felt as if the heavens and the earth were manifesting themselves. The blazing white-hot sun was enveloped by layers of clouds, shrinking smaller and smaller until it rested in the Buddha's palm.
Even the white clouds purged the evil god's aura that had lingered over Blue Star University.
With his debut, Ye Liuyun, the Martial God, had effortlessly defeated Bashe and then defeated Gu Jianton, the host of the master of the Monist School. His prowess was truly awe-inspiring.
However, at that moment, Ye Liuyun brought his hands together and a hint of anger appeared on his face as he said, "Quick... Seal off the entire school, and while you're at it, clear the rubble and treat the wounded."
Meng Lao hurried over and saw that Gu Jianton had fainted, the imprint of the sun on his forehead had disappeared, and he lay unconscious beside Ye Liuyun.
He sensed something and immediately cursed, "You little brat, I really shouldn't have chosen you as the principal... What have you turned Blue Star University into? In the history of our university, there has never been a time when we've been beaten so badly. And you couldn't even capture one of their 'divine seeds'..."
"I received a federal dispatch earlier to battle a progeny of an evil god..."
Embarrassment flashed across Ye Liuyun's face as he explained, "The master of the Monist School is skilled in manipulating minds and has three divine seeds. Today, two of them have already been destroyed... His true body is being pursued by Nie Ying and the others; he won't get away."
"As for the remaining seed, I'm not sure where he hid it... It shouldn't have been separated for long."
"You fool, and Nie Ying and the others are fools, too... Not one of them came to support me, leaving this old bone of mine to hold out until now... Cough, cough..."
Meng Lao coughed up mouthfuls of blood, his vigor visibly fading before their eyes. "Never mind... I'm just a gatekeeper anyway. This Federation isn't what it used to be..."
...
In the vastness of space, countless orbital cannons fired, annihilating the offspring of the evil gods one by one.
The turmoil on Blue Star was being quelled at an even faster rate.
At some point, the Omniscient Brain quietly resumed its functions, coordinating the distribution of resources and the search for survivors with impeccable order.
Inside a meteorite.
A cultured and amiable middle-aged man sat cross-legged in the cramped space. He was none other than the master of the Monist School.
He coughed, expelling chunks of his internal organs from his mouth, appearing to be severely wounded.
If not for the grace of the evil god, granting him unimaginable vitality, such severe injuries would have claimed his life long ago.
"Nie Ying... and the Federation... Indeed, there is a traitor among us, and a high-level one at that."
Fear flashed in the eyes of the master of the Monist School as he recalled something terrifying. "The Moon God, Taiyin... Could they have fallen?"
This time, various schools had their own agendas. The Monist School wanted to attack Blue Star University, the Worship Moon Sect wanted to release the Moon God, the Stellar Phenomenon School wanted to resurrect their own deity, and as for the Chaos Association, they were always present wherever there was chaos. They appeared to be working together, flaunting their power, but in reality, they were like disintegrating demons, unwilling to unite unless it meant certain death. They merely chose a time to strike together.
His severe injuries were proof that this incident was a trap.
The Federation's true target was the 'Moon God'!
"Never mind, at least I managed to save myself, and I still have one divine seed left..."
When it came to preserving his life, the master of the Monist School was undoubtedly the best.
"Maintain this cosmic velocity, and once we pass the surveillance limit, we can directly space-shift..."
As the master of the Monist School lost himself in thought, a blade of light streaked across the meteorite, slicing through it with its anti-matter power.
"Who is it?"
The master of the Monist School appeared in space, his body protected by layers of vine-like armor.
Before him stood a mech, and behind it whirled three massive fireballs.
"Back then, I was ambushed, and that projection of an evil god was the 'Dark Lord'!"
Xu Sanyang's voice echoed from within the mech. "The Dark Lord is merely an aspect of the Void Gate... So, Master of the Monist School, can you tell me who in the Federation is working with you?"
