The Clansmen's First Battle Against Martial Cultivators and the Purpose of the Celestial Stars True Spirit Diagram
Having experienced the battles and clashes with the invading "True Martial World" martial arts practitioners in the "Demon Race Secret Realm," Kong Wenxuan felt nothing when he saw these "martial arts practitioners" figures formed from the "Celestial Stars True Spirit Diagram."
However, the clan leader Kong Changgeng, his uncle Kong Yushuo, and other members of the Kong Household were witnessing the combat power of these extraterrestrial "martial arts cultivators" for the first time, and they were all filled with curiosity and excitement.
After all, the Kong Household has always been at most Ninth-Grade True Spirit Lineage, and Lineage cultivators are only low-level cultivators of the first or Second Tier. They often can't even leave a prefecture, let alone go outside the "True Spirit Realm" to come into contact with cultivators from other worlds and fight against them.
Information about the outer world and even the martial arts practitioners in these "True Martial World" is mostly hearsay; people have no idea what real martial arts practitioners are like, what abilities and combat power they possess, or how to fight, battle, and even kill them if they encounter them.
At this moment, in this "Rank Advancement Trial", seeing these "martial cultivator" figures formed by the "Celestial Stars True Spirit Diagram" is their first contact with the combat power of "martial cultivators" from outside the realm, and they will fight against them, truly understanding the methods and combat power of "martial cultivators".
"Are these the legendary martial artists of the ' True Martial World '? Why do they all look so strange?"
"Are these 'martial arts practitioners' even human? How can a human grow Three Heads and Six Arms? Is this also like the degeneration and Demonization of us bloodline cultivators, a mutation caused by loss of control and depravity?"
"No! I don't think this is out of control or depravity, but rather the methods and abilities of martial arts practitioners. Otherwise, how could the ' True Martial World ' send out all sorts of out-of-control and depraved beings to fight and kill us, the ' True Spirit Realm '?"
Above the "Peacock True Spirit Star," the Kong Household cultivators and disciples looked at the various shapes of "martial cultivators" that had gathered around them and were attacking. They were all full of curiosity and discussing among themselves.
Boom! Boom! Rumble...
Of course, amidst the curiosity and discussion, some people took direct action.
A dozen or so crimson sword lights transformed from the "Crimson Fire Divine Sword" broke through the speed of sound and struck some of the attacking "martial arts practitioners" before they could react.
These "Crimson Fire Divine Sword" vary in grade, speed, and power. Some have been upgraded to the level of Second Tier high-quality Spirit Artifact, with a sword speed of three or four times the speed of sound, while others are still only First Tier Law Artifact, having initially broken through the speed of sound.
Although they both chose to strike targets of the same rank, the Second Tier Spirit Artifact "Crimson Fire Divine Sword" slashed at the attacking Second Tier "martial cultivator" figure, while the First Tier Law Artifact "Crimson Fire Divine Sword" struck the First Tier "martial cultivator" figure.
However, the results were different for each of them. One of the First Tier Law Artifact, the "Crimson Fire Divine Sword," cleaved the attacking martial artist in two along with his divine weapon and armor with a single strike, killing him on the spot. His remains turned into starlight and merged into the "Peacock True Spirit Star."
There were also those who possessed Second Tier Spirit Artifact, such as the "Crimson Fire Divine Sword," which struck the attacking martial artist, but were blocked by the divine weapon in their hand and the armor on their body, thus failing to kill them.
These attacking "martial arts cultivators" varied in strength and methods, but all possessed powerful physical bodies, sturdy divine weapons and armor, and various defensive resistances, making them far more difficult to deal with than the Demon Race figures that appeared in the previous trials.
At this moment, the rest of the Kong Household also reacted one after another. They stopped being curious, watching, and discussing. They all raised their "Five Elements Divine Swords" and "Five Elements Talisman Slips" and began to attack the figures of the "martial arts cultivators" who were attacking.
Lili!
A clear Peacock cry rang out, and a phantom "Five-Colored Peacock" materialized and manifested above the Kong Household members. It raised its head and sang a clear song, spreading its wings and displaying its tail feathers. Eyes that shimmered with mesmerizing light appeared on the trembling feathers, and a large amount of Five-Colored Illusory Light was unleashed, attacking the figures of the "martial arts cultivators" who were attacking.
This was the "Peacock Spreads Its Tail" illusion technique, executed by the Kong Household in concert using the "Peacock Soul-Bewitching Scripture." Previously, they had used illusion techniques, swordsmanship, Law Technique, and Spirit Technique to quickly kill the attacking Demon Race, achieving a great victory and tasting the sweetness of victory.
Now, facing these attacking "martial arts practitioners," they naturally wanted to imitate them, using illusions combined with Law Technique and Spirit Technique attacks from the "Five Elements Divine Swords" and "Five Elements Talisman Slips" to quickly kill and clear the area of these "martial arts practitioners."
Above the "Peacock True Spirit Star," Kong Wenxuan no longer needed to expend energy to propel the "True Spirit Star" to ascension and forward. In fact, under the influence of starlight, he had even recovered all his depleted energy and combat power.
However, he did not make a move, nor did he offer any instructions to the Kong Household members on how to fight these "martial arts cultivators." He even withdrew the "Great Five Elements Sword Formation" he had set up.
The Kong Household members were to confront these attacking "martial arts practitioners" directly, allowing them to engage in direct combat.
He had already figured out that both the "Star Inlaying Trial" and the "Rank Advancement Trial" of the "True Spirit Star" contained "martial arts cultivator" enemies.
This is clearly the "Celestial Stars True Spirit Diagram," or rather, the higher-ups of the "True Spirit Realm" intentionally letting the various "True Spirit Realm True Spirit Lineage" of the "True Spirit Realm" understand and become familiar with the methods and strengths of enemies from beyond the realm, such as martial arts cultivators and military cultivators. This is so that when the various "True Spirit Lineage" in the "True Spirit Realm," even the lower-grade "True Spirit Lineage" of the ninth to seventh rank, encounter these enemies from beyond the realm, they will not be caught off guard and fall into a passive position due to a lack of understanding of the opponent's methods.
Previously, the sudden invasion of martial arts cultivators from the "True Martial World" in the "Demon Race Secret Realm" made him realize very clearly that these enemies from outside the realm, such as martial arts cultivators and military cultivators, did not only exist in legends, but were real enemies outside the "True Spirit Realm".
These enemies are constantly trying to invade the "True Spirit Realm True Spirit Realm," kill its cultivators, seize its resources, True Spirit Realm objects, and even its very essence, and take them back to their own world.
Therefore, even for these low-grade "True Spirit Lineage" of the ninth or eighth rank, even if they cannot reach the outside of the "True Spirit Realm," it is still difficult to guarantee that they will not encounter invading enemies from outside the realm.
Especially now, the Demon Race in the "True Spirit Realm" has clearly colluded with the martial arts practitioners in the "True Martial World." The last invasion launched by the martial arts practitioners in the "True Martial World Realm" through the connection between the "Heavenly Demon Grotto-Heaven" and the "Demon Race Secret Realm" was successfully suppressed and repelled.
However, it is hard to guarantee that more martial artists from the "True Martial World" will not invade and even invade counties and prefectures, forcing low-grade "True Spirit Lineage" cultivators like the Kong Household to confront these invading martial artists.
Therefore, rather than suffering losses when facing real invading martial cultivators later, it's better for them to engage in some battles with the "martial cultivators" condensed and manifested by the "Celestial Stars True Spirit Diagram" in this "Rank Advancement Trial" first, familiarize themselves with the methods and abilities of the "martial cultivators," and even suffer some losses at their hands.
Only then, when facing a true invading martial arts master, will they not suffer losses or even die.
Therefore, Kong Wenxuan neither made a move nor offered any warnings, but instead allowed the clan leader, his uncle, and the other clan members to charge at the attacking "martial arts cultivators."
