Logging 10,000 Years into the Future-Chapter 474
Chapter 474
The figures of the five military marshals swayed slightly, their expressions indescribable. Behind them, the generals, commanders, admirals, and the Star Generals participating in the drill all wore expressions of shock and awe. In their minds, a phrase that Lu Sheng had previously spoken suddenly surfaced.
“I intend to shatter the divine pedestal and wage war against the heavens …”
Now, they finally understood. The true meaning behind Lu Sheng’s words. He had anticipated the arrival of the Extreme Martial Sage; he had been prepared for this battle with a Martial Sage.
Moreover … Lu Sheng actually succeeded. He had managed to shatter the projection of the Extreme Martial Sage’s will with nothing but his bare fists. Even though it was merely a projection of will, he accomplished …
“An unprecedented feat!”
One of the marshals murmured.
In the three hundred years since the rise of martial arts, many desperate struggles had taken place. But a Level 8 versus Level 9? Never before!
It was a chasm that stretched across heaven and earth. But now, it seemed that someone was about to cross this chasm. A gleam of indescribable brilliance flashed in the eyes of the five marshals.
“Should we do something?” One marshal spoke.
The other four exchanged glances and suddenly issued a series of commands. The generals who received the orders were visibly shaken but soon took a deep breath, responding firmly, “Yes.”
Immediately, the warships arranged on the sea began to operate slowly. Cannons extended from the front and sides of the warships, and the military formation grew solemn … It seemed to be waiting for something.
Lu Sheng was waiting too. He looked up at the sky, his spiritual power radiating across the world. His mind raced, absorbing the insights gained from that recent punch.
Many realizations continuously merged into his mastery of fist techniques, breaking through the shackles of the Fourth Realm and advancing toward a new, wondrous realm. Even Lu Sheng hadn’t expected the gains from this battle to be so immense.
His fist technique unexpectedly broke through to the Fifth Realm.
“The Fourth Realm represent a domain, but what is the Fifth Realm?” A flash of inspiration sparked in Lu Sheng’s mind, as if he had grasped something.
At this moment, the sky suddenly changed. The bright sky darkened in an instant. It had been a clear day with no clouds, yet it now looked as though a storm was about to arrive.
Lu Sheng’s eyes lit up. He shook his body lightly. Pale golden metallic shards swiftly shot out from beneath his combat suit, slipping out from under his clothing. There were countless golden blades, numbering in the hundreds or even thousands. It was impressive how Lu Sheng could conceal so many fragments on his person.
These golden blades gathered above his head, quickly assembling into the original form of the outer ring blade.
“They’re here!” On the deck of the highest warship, the eyes of the five marshals flashed, their expressions becoming solemn. Not long after, a figure appeared amidst the darkened sky. With the arrival of this figure, it was as if the entire world was suddenly illuminated.
He was, in every sense, the sole presence.
Countless people present felt an overwhelming urge to bow down. Yet, at that moment, a warship on the sea’s surface suddenly shuddered violently.
Boom!
A cannon roared. A deep blue shell shot into the sky at a speed beyond the naked eye’s ability to follow. But it was caught lightly by a hand.
The figure in the sky looked down, a beam of light from his gaze cutting through countless distances, landing precisely on a soldier in uniform. The soldier’s face turned deathly pale, his body trembling … But before the figure in the sky could act further, Boom!
A second cannon shot rang out. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Then came a third, a fourth … countless shots! All the warships on the sea aimed their cannons at the figure in the sky, a deafening roar filling the air. Shells flew into the sky, each one stopped in midair, suspended around the figure.
A dense swarm, like bees. Yet this did not diminish the fervor below. The fists of the five marshals clenched tightly, their eyes flashing with excitement and madness. They never expected these human-made shells to harm the Martial Sage. They just wanted to make a statement! A statement of the military’s stance towards Lu Sheng!
“Fire, keep firing!”
One of the marshals growled through clenched teeth, “To hell with you … Martial Sage!”
The pedestal has been shattered! The backbone of the Dragon Nation’s military had been bent for too long … It was time to straighten it out. Even if it might break as a result!
Amidst the roaring cannons, Lu Sheng could clearly sense the atmosphere. The momentum that had once splintered within the military was slowly coalescing again.
Clang!
Behind and above him, countless golden blades had fully combined into a massive golden blade wheel. With a casual shake, he embedded the inner ring blade into it.
The “eye” of the giant golden blade wheel was lit.
“Let’s not let this momentum scatter again …” Lu Sheng’s eyes flickered as he took a step forward. In that single step, he traversed countless distances in an instant.
One step … and he had reached the heavens! He appeared directly in front of the figure in the sky. A white-robed Extreme Martial Sage revealed his true form. He resembled a youth, but his hair was snow-white. His expression was indifferent, with an ancient weariness in his eyes that hinted at the passage of time.
It had to be said—his aura was at its peak.
The Extreme Martial Sage’s gaze was fixed on Lu Sheng. From it, Lu Sheng sensed a bone-chilling killing intent. Below, the sound of cannon fire continued unabated, as shells shot into the sky. But as soon as they neared a radius of ten meters around the Extreme Martial Sage, they stopped silently, hovering in midair.
The Extreme Martial Sage glared coldly at Lu Sheng and suddenly waved his sleeve. The densely packed shells around him all reversed direction. In an instant, countless explosions lit up the sea below. On the vast surface of the sea, warships erupted, flames rose … The sound of cannon fire ceased.
On the sea, warships could be seen sinking, with the wreckage of white sails scattered across the waters. Many soldiers with weaker martial prowess were engulfed by the flames or floated in the water.
“They all died because of you …” The Extreme Martial Sage spoke coldly, looking at Lu Sheng.
Lu Sheng stared at the sea below for a moment, then looked up. In his eyes, there was none of the guilt or self-reproach that the Extreme Martial Sage sought; instead, there were two blazing flames.
“No.” Lu Sheng shook his head, a strange glow flashing across his face.
“They are warriors, soldiers whose spines do not bend! Someone like you, hiding in a temple and playing god, would never understand …”Lu Sheng smiled slightly and said, “Nor do you need to understand anymore.”
As he spoke, Lu Sheng’s thoughts moved. Below, the giant golden blade wheel spun rapidly, soaring into the sky. In an instant, it ascended to the heavens, its golden glow dazzling like the sun.
Yet, it felt cold. Lu Sheng raised both hands. He left a space between his palms … Just enough to hold the giant golden blade wheel.
Then, directing his hands toward the Extreme Martial Sage, he assumed a blade-wielding stance and struck down hard.
“Heavenly Blade Devotion Wheel!”
