"Did you really take that step?"
Ye Tianxiong stared at Lu Yuan intently.
Normally expressionless, a rare seriousness appeared on his face at this moment.
On the other side, the Sweeping Monk ignored his own injuries and struggled to get up from the ground.
Like a devout disciple, he gazed at Lu Yuan eagerly, looking for a clear answer.
For only by reaching the pinnacle of martial arts could one understand the true terror of this realm.
Although they were only at the half-step pinnacle, the gap between them and the true martial arts pinnacle was like night and day, incomparable!
Facing the hopeful gazes of everyone present, Lu Yuan remained silent.
Instead, he decided to prove it with action!
He took a step forward.
There seemed to be invisible steps beneath his feet, supporting his stride.
Unhurriedly, he walked on air, step by step, until he reached the battlefield above!
Facing hundreds of genetic warriors armed with laser weapons, Lu Yuan simply extended his right hand.
Then, a grasp in the void.
It felt as if he was grasping the wind.
This was the move he had demonstrated during his live martial arts demonstration years ago. However, the difference now was that he was performing it at the peak of martial arts, making its power many times stronger than before.
Above all, all the grandmasters present felt an unprecedented sense of fear.
It was as if Lu Yuan was holding everyone's lives in his hands!
"Oh no!"
Ye Tianxiong's face changed dramatically.
He rushed forward, trying to stop Lu Yuan.
But it was too late.
Amidst the incredulous gazes of everyone present, Lu Yuan pointed his finger like a sword and slashed forward violently!
A massive sword aura burst out from his fingertip, rushing towards all the genetic warriors.
Laser weapons, biological armour, special alloys - they all seemed as fragile as paper against this sharp, fierce sword aura.
Where the sword aura passed, it was like a sickle reaping wheat.
The once formidable Red Lotus Sect, which had inflicted heavy casualties on the warriors present, now fell in large numbers without any resistance.
The power of a single finger, terrifying to such an extent!
The onlookers, including all the warriors, were frozen in astonishment, as if turned into statues.
What had they seen?
Lu Yuan had dissolved all the genetic warriors with a single move?
So it wasn't that the martial arts were ineffective, but rather that their own strength was too low to unleash the true power of the martial arts?
"Namo Amitabha, Master Lu has successfully evolved. This is a blessing for our martial arts world!"
"Capturing the wind as a knife, breaking the river with a finger, this is the true peak of martial arts!"
"Martial arts has reached the divine realm!"
On the battlefield, blood flowed like rivers, and the smell of blood permeated the air, mingling with the severed limbs and shattered weapons scattered everywhere.
The entire summit of Emei seemed to have been transformed into a human purgatory.
However, the onlookers were more energetic than ever.
Their gazes at Lu Yuan were filled with awe and fervour.
This was the true pinnacle of martial arts!
Even more incredible,
Lu Yuan was only sixteen years old!
The pinnacle of martial arts at the age of sixteen, what a concept!
From now on,
the entire martial arts world...
No!
Maybe the whole world would bow down to him!
"Are you alright?"
Lu Yuan descended from the sky and supported the exhausted Tao Yaoyao.
"That move of yours just now was really cool, can you teach me in the future?"
Seeing Lu Yuan, Tao Yaoyao instantly turned into a fangirl, her eyes sparkling.
"You should rest for now."
Lu Yuan said helplessly.
"Let's go!"
Seeing that the outcome was set, Ye Tianxiong immediately led the remaining members of the Dragon Group to retreat.
"Damn it, those Dragon Group bastards actually ran away!"
Wu Hongsheng cursed in anger.
"Don't worry, they won't escape."
Lu Yuan replied calmly.
He turned in the direction Ye Tianxiong was running, raised his fist and struck out.
"Fist Intention: Wind Thunder!"
"Fist Intention: Dragon Tiger Dual Form!"
Fierce winds howled and lightning crackled.
The clouds transformed into dragons, and the wind transformed into tigers.
After merging the Form Intention Boxing with the Wind Thunder Fist Intention, Lu Yuan's power skyrocketed many times over.
Countless thunderbolts converged into a snarling thunder dragon that charged directly at Ye Tianxiong.
Before Ye Tianxiong could do anything, a white-faced giant tiger charged at him!
The outcome was decided without suspense.
In the face of the peak of true martial arts,
the so-called top strength of the internal realm was totally inadequate.
After just a few rounds,
Ye Tianxiong was torn to pieces by the Thunder Dragon, and all the members of the Dragon Group were wiped out!
"Fist power taking shape, this is the highest realm of Form Intention Boxing!"
All the warriors present were petrified, as if they were witnessing a deity.
"Senior, take a rest, I will settle this once and for all."
Lu Yuan's gaze was deep as he looked in the direction of the capital.
The Dragon Group and the Red Lotus Sect were just white and black gloves.
The real mastermind was somewhere else!
"They still have many tricks up their sleeves. Be careful."
The sweeping monk reminded him.
The Shaolin Temple suffered a great loss back then and has yet to regain its vitality.
Lu Yuan nodded.
Then he soared into the sky and disappeared from everyone's sight.
In the capital,
in an underground base.
Every three steps there was a guard, every ten steps a post.
Hundreds of trained genetic warriors patrolled the base around the clock.
In addition,
the entire base was equipped with a laser stereoscopic defence system. The defence was extremely tight, not even a mosquito could get in!
However, at that moment,
the base glowed red and a piercing alarm sounded.
"Warning! Intruder detected!"
"Warning! Proceed to highest level immediately. The artificial intelligence 'Nora' will take over all defence measures!"
Inside the laboratory,
an artificial intelligence was controlling the base's combat systems.
"Dr Chen, the enemy's strength is too great. I suggest you retreat immediately."
"No need, he's already here."
Dr Chen Hongyu, who wore black-framed glasses, appeared very calm.
"Bang!"
The next moment,
The door, made of a special alloy that could withstand nuclear bombardment, was sliced into a pile of scrap metal by an invisible sword aura.
A young figure ignored the rain of bullets and entered the laboratory.
Behind him,
The corridor was stained red with blood, and numerous limbs were floating in the pool of blood.
The pungent smell of blood permeated the entire base, enough to make one feel nauseous.
In this scene, which resembled a hell on earth,
He didn't look like a sixteen-year-old boy, but rather a devil emerging from hell!
"We meet at last, Master Lu."
Dr Chen Hongyu looked very calm, as if everything was expected.
"You are Dr Chen? The founder of the Red Lotus Sect?"
It was hard to imagine.
This middle-aged man in his forties with an ordinary appearance was actually the mastermind behind everything.
Wearing a white coat and black-rimmed glasses, he looked no different from a university professor.
But only those in the know would understand.
The seemingly dull and stiff man in front of them was actually extremely ruthless and cunning!
Lu Yuan surveyed his surroundings.
Most of the laboratory was filled with scientific equipment.
In addition to this,
On both sides of the corridor were rows of glass jars filled with nutrient fluid.
The pale green liquid contained brains of people of different ages, nationalities and genders.
These brains were connected to various devices and computers, and looked very eerie.
Seeing this scene, four words immediately flashed through Lu Yuan's mind.
The brain in the jar!
"These specimens are my perfect masterpieces. I think Master Lu will be very interested."
"After all, they all come from the same place as you."
Dr Chen Hongyu smiled slightly and suggested something.
"What do you mean by that?"
Lu Yuan suddenly looked up, his eyes fixed on him.
In simulated reincarnation, it was strictly forbidden for simulators to reveal any information about the main world to anyone.
Violators would be immediately erased.
However, from Dr Chen Hongyu's words, he definitely knew something!
