Longevity Martial Arts: Starting from Inner Core Skill

Chapter 964: Chapter 29: Obstruction and the Disappearance of Vitality

“Do you want to form an alliance with me? Although the contingency measures of the Shattered Star Sacred Land are formidable, as long as we prepare in advance and resist together, there shouldn’t be any issues.”

“The contingency isn’t the biggest problem; the question is, if we enter the Newborn Land, won’t we be hunted by the Shattered Star Sacred Land?”

“What are you afraid of? The Newborn Land won’t be smaller than our starry sky here; find a place to hide, and they won’t be able to find us at all.”

These words immediately stirred some people.

“We can give it a try…”

There were several such conversations occurring, and the participating Saint Emperors knew the urgency of the situation, all quickly making their decisions.

However, just as they were about to take action, the almost closing portal showed signs of disturbance.

In an instant, all the Saint Emperors became vigilant.

Soon, a group of extremely distressed figures dashed out from the portal.

And these figures were, of course, the Saint Emperors of the Shattered Star Sacred Land who had been attacked by Wang Sheng.

Unable to enter the Newborn Land, they dared not linger.

They could only return to the Old Land.

After entering the Old Land Starry Sky, the Saint Emperors of the Shattered Star Sacred Land felt a sense of being spared from disaster.

The last beam of Divine Light was too terrifying.

If it weren’t for the Holy Master bringing out treasures, half of them would have perished.

Yet even so, they were still severely wounded, blood spilling across the starry sky.

Upon successfully returning, they didn’t stay at all but immediately left, heading to the Shattered Star Sacred Land.

Now severely injured, they must return to recover well; afterwards, they might even face the retaliation of the Starry Sky Rules. If not on their own turf, they would have no sense of security.

Even in their dire straits, no one dared to stop them, and the people of the Shattered Star Sacred Land left smoothly.

They only left behind Saint Emperors from all sides who were utterly shocked and without words.

At this moment, they looked at the portal as if staring at a man-eating tiger, possibly devouring them any moment, with no intention of entering anymore.

They, of course, recognized the people of the Shattered Star Sacred Land.

And they knew the powerful strength of the Shattered Star Sacred Land.

“Wasn’t the Shattered Star Sacred Land supposed to enter the Newborn Land? How could this happen? What’s terrifying inside the portal that even the Yuanhua Saint Emperor couldn’t block?”

“It’s more than failing to block it; I saw very clearly just now, although the Yuanhua Saint Emperor wasn’t seriously injured, he was wounded, and the others were worse, half of their bodies were gone. It’s known that the Shattered Star Sacred Land is the most proficient in physical prowess under the starry sky…”

“It seems there’s no way to enter the portal; if even the Shattered Star Sacred Land had to retreat, how could we manage it?”

The initial intention of giving it a try instantly calmed down.

They didn’t think they could be stronger than the Shattered Star Sacred Land.

If the Shattered Star Sacred Land was severely injured, them going in would basically be death.

Afterwards, what exactly the Shattered Star Sacred Land encountered became the focus of speculation.

They were eager to know what led to the Shattered Star Sacred Land’s crushing defeat and retreat.

“They must have encountered some danger in the portal, right?”

“Not necessarily; it’s also possible the Newborn Land has a powerhouse that forced the Shattered Star Sacred Land to return.”

“Impossible, though I’m not particularly knowledgeable, I know the cultivation in the Newborn Land has only developed for tens of thousands of years. It’s impossible for a powerhouse capable of repelling the Shattered Star Sacred Land to appear; it’s definitely a problem with the portal.”

“But indeed, there’s that possibility; if the Shattered Star Sacred Land dared to enter, they must be confident about the portal’s safety; otherwise, why would they enter?”

Ultimately, two possibilities became mainstream.

One is that the portal contained dangers, and the other was, naturally, that the Newborn Land had a powerhouse comparable to the leader of a top force.

Supporters of the former outnumbered those of the latter by far.

Only Fei Luan and Feng, among a few Saint Emperors, knew what was going on.

“A True Saint must have intervened; the Shattered Star Sacred Land was doomed to fail from the start.” Feng was sure that it was definitely a True Saint’s intervention; otherwise, it wouldn’t have resulted like this.

“Their losses must be significant; plans of hundreds of thousands of years turned to naught!” Fei Luan nodded in agreement.

“Not necessarily; hundreds of years later, they can still enter.” Ever since accompanying Wang Sheng, Star Fox had learned some things and knew that the invasion plan of the Shattered Star Sacred Land wasn’t completely a failure.

Jiu Cai was disdainful: “So what if that’s the case? At a True Saint’s cultivation speed, in a few hundred years, the result will remain unchanged. If the Shattered Star Sacred Land continues their plans, their end will only be more miserable.”

Feng, Jin, and others felt a chill in their hearts.

The cultivation speed of the Lifeless True Saint was the most terrifying they had ever seen.

Jiu Cai’s words were undeniable.

Finally, Feng laughed: “Not to mention hundreds of years later, the current state of the Shattered Star Sacred Land is probably not good either.”

Everyone also chuckled.

It’s impossible to feel good after suffering under a True Saint’s hand.

Meanwhile, within the Shattered Star Sacred Land, the atmosphere was indeed solemn.

“It seems we misunderstood Xing Yuan; it’s not that he didn’t want to open the portal, but that there was simply no way to open it. A Twelfth Realm powerhouse exists in the Newborn Land, not weaker than me.” Yuanhua finally understood where the problem lay.

Saint Emperors existed in the Newborn Land.

Their plans were naturally bound to fail.

Though Hong Yun wasn’t weak, his injuries weren’t particularly severe, he spoke: “Holy Master, if that’s the case, our arrangement will all be in vain… What’s next…”

He didn’t finish speaking, but the Saint Emperors of the Shattered Star Sacred Land understood his meaning.

If such a powerful Saint Emperor exists in the Newborn Land, even if there’s any opportunity, it’s probably already in their hands.

Even if they have another chance to enter hundreds of years later, there might not be much opportunity left unless the Saint Emperor of the Newborn Land is a fool, but evidently, that’s impossible.

Yuanhua also understood this clearly, remaining silent for a long time.

In the end, he could only sigh helplessly.

“Let’s take it step by step, recover from injuries first, and then prepare to face the punishment from the Starry Sky Rules. The Old Land won’t be peaceful…”

He had no good way to break from this situation either.

He could only indirectly admit failure.

The Saint Emperors of the Shattered Star Sacred Land knew this was their only option.

The presence of a Saint Emperor in the Newborn Land comparable to their Holy Master was, in itself, an insurmountable obstacle.

This was also the greatest unforeseen event.

Soon, each Saint Emperor left one by one.

They had to recover from their injuries quickly to face the backlash.

Subsequently, the Shattered Star Sacred Land announced a hundred-year seclusion, not emerging during this time.

This was expected by the other forces.

And just a few days after the Shattered Star Sacred Land announced its seclusion, a terrifying star-thundering descended upon the world, striking at the Shattered Star Sacred Land.

The dense lightning almost enveloped the entire Shattered Star Sacred Land.

Any single lightning bolt could severely injure an Eleventh Realm Saint, and even in the center, the lightning was challenging for someone at the Twelfth Realm to handle.

Yet, the Shattered Star Sacred Land was shrouded within.

The thunder echoed continuously for three months.

No cultivator dared to approach.

“This is a heavenly punishment; it seems the method the Shattered Star Sacred Land used to kill Saints and forcibly open the portal carried significant backlash.”

Wang Sheng naturally was attentive to the situation of the Shattered Star Sacred Land.

Seeing such thunder and recalling the scene reported by the Deep Sea Saint Emperor on that day, he roughly guessed the method used by the Shattered Star Sacred Land to open the portal.

He chose not to get close, continuing instead to collect resources and enhance his cultivation.

And as the Shattered Star Sacred Land fell silent, the Old Land’s starry sky superficially seemed to have regained tranquility.

Every force was busy doing its own things, without any conflict.

Decades passed in a flash.

Old Land Starry Sky, Edge Star Domain, Silver Wing Star Domain.

In the starry sky, there’s no notion that the Edge Star Domain is weak; the Silver Wing Star Domain is considered a pretty strong star domain in the Old Land Starry Sky, governed by a large force, Xuan Guang Star.

Each force must remit corresponding resources to Xuan Guang Star at fixed times.

However, today, the person responsible for collecting resources for Xuan Guang Star discovered that there was actually a star system’s force that hadn’t submitted resources.

A star system; this is no small matter.

Therefore, the Xuan Guang Palace directly dispatched an Eleventh Realm to investigate secretly.

If any issues arise, they need to be reported immediately.

Wen Hua Saint of the Eleventh Realm was chosen.

“Ah, I wanted to cultivate, but why was I assigned this errand? Hope it won’t be troublesome…”

Through the cross-boundary portal, Wen Hua Saint entered the target star system, the Silver Pivot Star System, after a few days.

His first stop was the world where the largest force of the Silver Pivot Star System resided.

If any problem arose, this would likely be the center of the issue.

But when he arrived, he found out there was indeed a big problem, although not an issue with resource submission.

An issue that gave him a creepy sensation.

“How can it be, the whole world has not even a trace of life…”
