And so.
Those billionaires who once topped the Forbes rich list.
They did not hesitate to sell all their assets just to become citizens of the Qian Kingdom.
Countless elite dignitaries shed blood for a passport.
And the men of Qian Kingdom, once oppressed and belittled by the fairies.
At this moment, they are transformed into ideal marriage partners in the eyes of foreigners.
Countless top foreign beauties would rather do laundry and cook as concubines than marry Qian Kingdom men.
As for those sheepdogs who flattered foreigners, they cried bitterly in front of the camera just to get a return ticket.
"Wuwuwu, please let me go back, I will never call you ordinary trustworthy men again."
"Although I have dated some black men, I now realise that men from my own country are the best, I hope you don't mind my past".
But in the face of these desperate pleas, Lu Yuan remained unmoved.
Only now do you regret it?
What took you so long?
Lu Yuan not only refused their requests to return home.
Instead, he used the resources and connections of the Extreme Martial Arts Hall.
He expelled all the hate-speech trolls and foreigners hiding all over the Qian Kingdom.
As the strongest martial artist of this era.
He was the one to call the shots in the entire Qian Kingdom.
Even the royal family had to act according to his wishes!
Then.
He opened branches of the Extreme Martial Arts Hall in every city in the country and vigorously promoted the Qi and Blood Martial Arts.
At that point.
Everyone realised.
If they didn't want to become digital beings.
Qi and Blood Martial Arts was their only way out.
And so.
Countless people joined the Extreme Martial Arts Hall and practised desperately.
Apart from eating and sleeping, they spent all their time practising martial arts.
Even the ordinary people who used to be pro-technology and anti-martial arts now woke up and joined the path of qi and blood martial arts.
And because of the existence of the Six Basic Forms.
The threshold for ordinary people to become warriors had been greatly lowered, requiring less training resources.
As time passed.
The number of qi and blood warriors skyrocketed!
In the first year.
Twenty million people became Qi and Blood Warriors!
And with Lu Yuan's help.
Tao Yaoyao, the Sweeping Monk, the Grand Master of Wudang and others...
Successively entered the realm of martial arts mastery!
In the fifth year.
The number of qi and blood warriors had exceeded one billion.
As for the martial arts masters, they numbered in the hundreds!
The tenth year.
The number of Qi and Blood warriors had reached a staggering five billion.
Among them, there were over three thousand martial arts masters!
Considering that the current total population of the Qian Kingdom is around two billion.
This meant
One out of every four people was a Qi and Blood warrior.
Truly, the concept of everyone being like a dragon and everyone being a martial artist had been achieved!
On the other hand, the Red Lotus Sect needed time to consolidate resources and manpower.
For a while.
The world of Qi and Blood Martial Arts and the Red Lotus Sect each held sway and temporarily reached a balance.
But Lu Yuan remained vigilant.
"One mountain cannot contain two tigers, there will inevitably be a battle between us and Chen Hongyu!"
Lu Yuan instructed Tao Yaoyao and the others to closely monitor the movements of the Red Lotus Sect.
"But aren't we in a cooperative relationship with him?"
asked Tao Yaoyao.
As someone closest to Lu Yuan, she was privy to many inside details.
"No, I'm just using him for mutual benefit."
"I need Chen Hongyu's help to remove all obstacles and make Qi and Blood Martial Arts the mainstream of this world!"
"And he needs my genetic data to create a legion of incomparable martial artists."
Lu Yuan said openly.
On his own.
The task of promoting Qi and Blood Martial Arts worldwide was almost impossible.
After all, touching interests was harder than touching souls.
High-ranking officials of other countries would never allow Lu Yuan to rule alone.
But Chen Hongyu's plan.
Made Qi and Blood Martial Arts the lifeline in everyone's eyes!
Either become a digital being.
Or become a qi and blood warrior.
Two choices!
Simple, brutal.
But very effective!
So, in a way.
The current situation was more advantageous for Lu Yuan.
"I have no personal grudge against Chen Hongyu."
"But if our paths diverge, we cannot work together, this is a clash of ideals."
"No matter who wins or loses, it's all about making this world a better place."
Lu Yuan said calmly.
A genius and a madman were only a hair's breadth apart.
Chen Hongyu was a pure madman.
He could do anything to achieve his goals.
The reason why he was working with Lu Yuan.
was to find out.
If Qi and Blood Martial Arts could bear the heavy responsibility of resisting the darkness.
But if one day.
Qi and Blood Martial Arts became a burden, Chen Hongyu would not hesitate to kill Lu Yuan.
Likewise.
Lu Yuan would do the same.
Therefore.
In these ten years.
Lu Yuan had never let up.
Every day, apart from practicing, he worked hard to perfect Qi and Blood Martial Arts.
With the blessing of the "Will of the Martial World" and "Heaven's Reward for Hard Work".
Lu Yuan's strength had reached a terrifying and unimaginable level.
[You've practiced the Wind and Thunder Fist a million times and understood the ultimate secret, Extreme Intent - Wind and Thunder!]
[You have practiced the Eight Extremes Fist a million times and understood the ultimate secret, Extreme Intention - Eight Extremes!]
[You've practiced the Buddha Palm a million times and understood the ultimate secret, Extreme Intention - Buddha Realm!]
Lu Yuan clenched his fists.
A feeling of unprecedented power surged through him.
He had a feeling deep inside.
That he had entered a new realm.
A realm stronger than that of martial arts mastery.
With a single blow, he could easily kill a martial arts master!
Especially if he used his techniques.
The terrifying momentum was like a raging river and sea.
Even the emptiness could not withstand it, emitting a faint cracking sound!
This meant.
He had reached the limit of power in this world!
At the same time.
The long-dormant Red Lotus Sect became active again.
Bad news followed bad news.
London fell!
Paris fell!
Boston fell!
After consolidating all their resources.
With a momentum like breaking rotten wood and smashing decay, the Red Lotus Sect swept away all the remnants of the various nations.
They were heading straight for the Qian Kingdom.
The army surged forward.
The shadow of war loomed over everyone.
Panic spread throughout the land!
"Prove to me the value of Qi and Blood Martial Arts!"
Chen Hongyu sent out his challenge.
"As you wish."
Under the watchful eyes of everyone.
Lu Yuan leapt into the air, transforming into a long rainbow that disappeared into the sky in the blink of an eye.
The border of the Qian Kingdom.
Next to the tens of thousands of Extreme Realm warriors stationed by the Red Lotus Sect.
There was also a flood of steel, consisting of hundreds of thousands of warplanes, tanks and heavy armour.
In the adjacent sea area.
Six large aircraft carrier fleets were in charge of vigilance patrols, ready to support the battlefield at any time!
Without exaggeration.
Just with this force.
It would be enough to flatten any major world power in a day.
Not to mention.
After integrating all resources.
The entire world became a production factory for the Red Lotus Sect.
They had a constant supply of supplies and reinforcements, and could easily wage wars for decades.
On the other hand, in the Qian Kingdom.
The only one who can truly threaten the Red Lotus Sect...
is only Lu Yuan!
And for the sake of merciless killing, Chen Hongyu deliberately broadcast all of this live for everyone to see.
In the face of such a huge disparity in strength.
Everyone felt desperate.
Even those who trusted Lu Yuan the most, like Tao Yaoyao, were pessimistic.
They thought that it was impossible for him to defeat such a powerful steel tide alone.
But Lu Yuan was fearless.
Just as the whole world was watching with extreme suspense.
A golden rainbow streaked across the sky and landed on the battlefield!
"Fire!"
The moment Lu Yuan appeared.
Nora controlled all the heavy cannons and armour and immediately aimed at that figure.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Thousands of shells poured down like a torrential rain, showering the ground within a hundred metres of Lu Yuan.
"Boom!"
Mountains crumbled, rocks scattered.
The acrid smoke filled the entire battlefield.
The once level ground was now shattered by shells, filled with craters and cracks everywhere.
Under such a saturation bombardment.
Even a legion of a thousand Extreme Realm warriors would be reduced to ashes in an instant!
But the next moment.
An incredible scene unfolded for everyone.
[Extreme Intent: Lingbo Micro Steps]!
[Extreme Intent: Divine Variations]!
[Extreme Intent: Rushing Cicada]!
Lu Yuan activated dozens of high-level body arts to the extreme.
His figure moved like a ghost, effortlessly weaving through the rain of bullets.
His relaxed demeanour seemed like a casual stroll in his own garden.
And as Lu Yuan's speed increased.
In the end, all that remained was a blur, impossible to target with a laser sight!
But before the onlookers could even breathe a sigh of relief.
An even more shocking scene was about to unfold.
[Extreme Intent: Golden Light Spell]!
[Extreme Intent: Golden Bell Shield]!
[Extreme Intent: Iron Cloth Shirt]!
A thin golden membrane, as delicate as the wings of a cicada, completely enveloped Lu Yuan.
It was bathed in a golden glow.
Lu Yuan's aura transcended the mortal, exuding divine power.
It was as if a divine king had descended to earth, his power at its peak!
