High Martial Arts: Enlightenment after Practices

The Power of his Heart Image erupted like a mountain flood, surging forth along the optimized path.

His Heart Image perception expanded to its full eight-hundred-meter radius.

He locked onto several of the most densely packed areas behind the shield, where at least five hundred Feathered Warriors were gathered, preparing to meet the attack.

Then, he ignited his Heart Fire.

VMMMM—

Inside the pale blue Energy Shield, sparks of dark gold ignited without any warning.

One, two, ten, a hundred...

The Feathered Warriors were stunned. They stared at the sparks materializing out of thin air inside the shield, their eyes filled with confusion and fear.

’Doesn’t the shield block Energy attacks?’

’Why are flames appearing inside the shield?’

They didn’t know. The Flame True Seal of Golden Crow Burning Heart·Raging Fire was, in essence, a manifestation of the Power of Heart Image—a spiritual attack.

As long as Xu Wuyi’s perception could penetrate the shield, the flames could manifest anywhere.

The Feathered People’s Energy Shield was designed to defend against physical and Energy attacks. Its ability to block the Power of Heart Image was... limited.

It wouldn’t be difficult for other Innate Martial Artists to accomplish something similar with their Power of Heart Image. The true difficulty lay in striking so many enemies from a distance.

"Spread out! Spread out now!" a Priest shrieked.

But it was too late.

Xu Wuyi opened his eyes. Reflected in his dark gold pupils were the panicked figures inside the shield.

He raised his right hand, his fingers slowly closing into a fist.

"Liaoyuan."

BOOM!!!

Over two hundred Flame True Seals erupted simultaneously.

A sea of dark gold flames raged inside the shield. Like moths thrown into a Melting Furnace, the Feathered Warriors were instantly ignited and incinerated.

Their tormented screams were muffled by the shield, unable to escape.

But those outside could see. They could see the figures struggling and falling within the flames. They could see large patches of space inside the shield being rapidly cleared.

Ten seconds later, the first wave of flames began to subside.

Inside the shield, over three hundred Feathered Warriors had been reduced to charred corpses.

A massive gap had been torn in the Feathered People’s defensive line.

"The shield’s Energy is down by 12%!" Ye Guanlan reported, looking at the readings on the detector. "Keep attacking! We can break it in about three more hits!"

Xu Wuyi didn’t pause.

The Power of his Heart Image surged once more.

A second wave of Flame True Seals materialized inside the shield.

BOOM!

Another two hundred-plus flames erupted.

The Feathered Priests frantically reinforced the shield, trying to stop the flames from spreading.

But once ignited, the fire of the Heart Image was like a cancer clinging to the bone. Unless Xu Wuyi actively stopped it or his Power of Heart Image ran out, it would not be extinguished.

Twenty seconds later, the second wave of flames subsided.

The shield’s Energy dropped to 63%.

「Inside the rock mountain, in the command hall.」

The old Priest watched his warriors fall one after another in the Crystal, watched the shield’s Energy plummeting, and a look of utter despair finally appeared in his pure black eyes.

"It’s over..." he murmured.

The young Priest had already collapsed into his chair, his face ashen.

The middle-aged Priest gritted his teeth and said hoarsely, "High Priest, we... let’s surrender. If this goes on, everyone will die..."

"Surrender?" The old Priest gave a bitter laugh. "Do you think the Federation will accept our surrender? After the battle at Wind-Erosion Valley, how many of them did we kill? And in Zone E-9, how many more did we kill?"

「Outside the shield.」

Xu Wuyi was preparing to launch the third wave of his attack.

But just then, the shield flickered violently, and then... it actively dissipated.

Inside the rock mountain, the defensive facilities shut down one by one. The floating watchtowers slowly descended, and the Feathered Warriors on them laid down their weapons.

The main passage gate on the face of the rock mountain slowly swung open.

Three Feathered Priests walked out of the passage, led by the same old Priest from before.

They carried no weapons. Their wings were lowered, and their faces showed no will to fight.

Xu Wuyi paused, his brow furrowing slightly.

"What’s the meaning of this?"

The old Priest stopped ten meters in front of Xu Wuyi. He raised his head and looked at Xu Wuyi with his pure black eyes, which held no hatred, only a deep weariness.

"We surrender," the old Priest said. "The Quicksand Star Realm... is yours."

Silence fell over the plaza.

The Federation Martial Artists looked at each other, scarcely able to believe it.

Lei Hong, his War Axe resting on his shoulder, grinned. "Surrender? You want to surrender now? Where was this attitude earlier?"

The old Priest ignored him, keeping his eyes on Xu Wuyi. "As a condition of our surrender, I hope that you... can grant us a path to survival."

"Let us leave the Quicksand Star Realm and return to the Feathered People’s homeworld. I guarantee that all our warriors will lay down their arms and offer no resistance."

Xu Wuyi watched him in silence.

After a few seconds, he slowly shook his head.

"No."

The old Priest closed his eyes.

After a long moment, he slowly opened them again. A flicker of grim resolve flashed through his pure black eyes.

"If that’s the case..."

His body began to swell. The edges of his gray-white wings took on a dark red sheen, and the other two Priests also began to burn their Life Origin.

A terrifying Energy Fluctuation erupted from the three of them—an aura that far surpassed the Innate level. They were burning everything they had to launch a final strike.

But Xu Wuyi was faster.

The moment their Energy Fluctuations became abnormal in his Heart Image perception, he had already moved.

The dark gold "Liaoyuan" spear became a blur, piercing one Priest’s chest almost instantly.

The instant the spearhead entered the body, dark gold flames surged down the shaft, devouring and quelling the rampaging Energy within.

At the same time, Lei Hong and Ye Guanlan also struck, instantly killing another Priest.

The Feathered People were never known for their individual combat prowess. Even their previous elite squad had been no match for the three humans, let alone these three Priests.

The old Priest looked down at the spearhead in his chest, then back up at Xu Wuyi, a bitter smile tugging at his lips.

"You... really wouldn’t... give us a chance..."

Xu Wuyi pulled back his spear and retreated.

The bodies of the three Priests turned to ash at the same time, scattering in the wind.

He turned to face the Federation Martial Artists behind him.

"Charge in," Xu Wuyi’s voice carried across the entire battlefield. "Leave no one alive."

"KILL!!!"

Amidst earth-shaking roars, two thousand Martial Artists surged into the rock mountain like a bursting dam.

Only now had the battle truly begun.

But the outcome was already decided.

Xu Wuyi stood his ground, watching the Martial Artists charge into the passage, listening to the sounds of slaughter and screaming from within.

He slowly raised a hand, palm facing up.

His Heart Image perception enveloped the entire rock mountain.

Then, he ignited his Heart Fire.

Dark gold sparks lit up in every corner of the mountain.

This time, he showed no mercy.

The fires of Liaoyuan would burn all enemies to ash.

「Three hours later.」

The sounds of battle inside the rock mountain gradually died down.

The Feathered People’s main base had fallen completely.

The last of the Feathered People’s forces in the Quicksand Star Realm had been annihilated.

Xu Wuyi stood at the summit of the rock mountain, looking down upon the devastated battlefield below.

The phantoms of flame in his dark gold pupils slowly faded, but the will to fight in his heart had not diminished.

The Feathered People Civilization would not let this go, and the war between the Federation and the Alien Races was still far from over.
