Chapter 1025: Chapter 1012: I’ll Just Hit Once Chapter 1025: Chapter 1012: I’ll Just Hit Once “I’ve held it in for so long, I finally broke through,” Muria felt his body undergoing a sublime transformation at a life level, squinting his eyes and savoring this wonderful process, and it wasn’t just his body, the qi within him was undergoing a revolutionary transformation as well.

This transformation was also within his expectations, his qi became more solid and also more agile, and externally, it manifested as each of his attacks became more powerful, and the range of his attacks widened as well.

In simple terms, after a Martial Artist successfully breaks through to become a Martial Supreme, their combat is no longer confined to close range, they also gain the capability of long-range attacks, although they could still not compare with a Star Armor Master who naturally has an unattainable advantage in this regard.

“Martial Arts Dharma Appearance, an interesting concept!” Without needing to look back, Muria knew the kind of eye-catching phenomenon that had appeared behind him. He could feel that he was able to control every move of the Martial Arts Dharma Appearance behind him, and could use it to attack.

“Truly an interesting rule!” Muria slightly felt it and a look of interest appeared in his eyes.

The power of a Martial Supreme in the Star Armor World is approximately equivalent to the Soul Intent Level in the Erathia World, but when close-combat professionals in Erathia World break through the Soul Intent Level, under normal circumstances, they aren’t capable of creating such phenomena.

However, creating a somewhat intimidating Light and Shadow behind oneself is not a difficult task.

For example, Bloodline Warlocks manage to do this when their bloodline is stimulated to a certain extent, and in battle, a formidable bloodline projection appears behind them.

Most of these projections are merely for intimidation, to add to their aura, and don’t serve much practical purpose. But the Martial Arts Dharma Appearance behind him was different; it could truly be used in battle, without a doubt, a Martial Supreme alone could not come up with such a thing.

“The power of World Rules!” Muria deduced the fundamental reason why such a grand Martial Arts Dharma Appearance could stand behind him.

“Haha! Thank you all for helping me break through.” After briefly experiencing the source of the Martial Arts Dharma Appearance behind him, Muria’s gaze shifted to the group of young genius Star Armor Masters in front of him, all looking at him with complex expressions.

“Letting you assist me the first time probably does not suggest that you’d help a second time, good people through and through, let me experience how much my power has improved compared to before my breakthrough.”

“Damn, enough is enough, you’ve dragged us through this long enough, and you still aren’t satisfied? If you want to test your strength, go find a Titled Star Armor Master or go find Ayn Martial Venerable, what skill is there in bullying us the weak?”

Upon hearing Muria’s words, a young man immediately lost his temper; he had just summoned a White Dragon to cope with Muria’s martial qi, which had already taken his utmost effort, and now this guy wanted to use them as targets after his breakthrough, who could endure that?

“Jenos, don’t be too excessive. Before your breakthrough, you could crush us, and now after breaking through, you could easily kill us.

Plus, your strength must have significantly increased after your breakthrough, are you able to control it effortlessly? If you were to make a mistake, the cost would be our lives; do you think you can bear that responsibility?”

“That makes sense,” seeing the group of young men and women in front of him continually voicing their protests, Muria rested his chin on his hand, his face showing agreement,

“In that case, let’s compromise. All of you stand together, and I will execute a single move. You can all defend together, that should be sufficient to withstand it!”

“I mean, can’t you just let us go? You’ve already broken through to become a Martial Supreme, why bother with us, these mere high-level Star Armor Masters; we’ve caused you no offense.”

“Didn’t each and every one of you standing here want to challenge me, hoping to beat me?” Muria’s face showed surprise; he felt he had made himself very clear when he left the award ceremony venue.

“Alright then, get ready! I’ll make one move, and after that, you all can leave whenever you want.”

Muria slowly raised his palm, and behind him, the emperor in the Martial Arts Dharma Appearance similarly raised his hand slowly, palm facing down.

“Quick, come together quickly, we will attack in defense; we might not defeat him combined, but I don’t believe we can’t block his one move!”

Upon seeing some movement in the Dharma Appearance behind Muria, the group of young men and women quickly assembled, then activated their energy shields and all Star Armor defenses, also controlling all their Star Armors to attack Muria.

Whoosh———

Seeing these people initiating an attack on him, Muria remained unmoved; he raised his palm, pressing down, and the emperor, towering a hundred meters tall, did the same.

In the process of the emperor’s palm descending, it continuously expanded and grew, possessing a momentum that seemed to obscure the sun. Loud bursting sounds resounded in the air, with visible clear Qi traces swirling around the emperor’s palm like ribbons.

Boom Boom Boom——

Facing the continually descending palm of the emperor, bearing immense pressure with nowhere to escape to, forced to group together, the Star Armor Masters controlled their armors to aggressively attack.

Their attacks were not ineffective against the emperor’s palm; each attack blasted holes of various sizes on the palm,

But the moment these pits and dents appeared, with the stars around the emperor shimmering, his palm instantly healed back to its original state, making it seem as if the attacks of the Star Armor Masters were ineffective against the emperor’s palm.

Eventually, under the desperate and helpless gazes of the group of Star Armor Masters, the palm that had expanded to its limit struck them, and finally, like dumplings dropped into a pot, they tumbled and fell from the sky one by one.

This scene was also broadcast live to millions of households in the federation by journalists who closely followed with their cameras, providing them a thoroughly exhilarating visual feast and showcasing the birth of the second Martial Supreme in more than three hundred years.

…

“Hahaha!”

In the conference room of the Douglas family, as the numerous elders watched Muria condense his Martial Arts Dharma Aspect on the live broadcast, bursts of unrestrained laughter echoed throughout the room, even the family head seated at the highest place could not help but reveal a brilliant smile.

The emergence of a Martial Supreme, comparable to a Titled Star Armor Master, signified that the Douglas family grew stronger by a margin, which would lead to greater influence within the federation, more resources, and the development of more exceptional talents in a beneficial cycle.

Moreover, most crucially for Muria himself, in the view of the family head and these elders, the still underage Muria had broken through to become a Martial Supreme at this time, indicating that his future was boundlessly promising.

He might even advance to a higher echelon of existence, which would be even more astonishing than the currently most famous and attention-grabbing Ayn Martial Venerable in the federation; being young was the greatest asset.

However, the expressions on the faces of representatives from the three great families in the same conference room were not as pleasing, the total amount of resources being fixed meant that when someone received a larger share, others would have to receive less.

“Gentlemen, the battle has ended, so your requests can no longer be fulfilled by us. Would you stay here, or disconnect?”

An elder said, smiling amiably at the representatives of the three great families. The strength of his family filled him with immense pleasure, for at his position, he was tightly bound with the family’s honor and disgrace.

“Hmph!”

With a greatly dissatisfied snort, the projections of the three great families disappeared from the bottom of the conference room; they no longer wished to see the smug faces of these Douglas family members.

…

“Lord Long, Young Master Jelos has broken through and become a Martial Supreme,” Butler Paris approached an elderly man sunbathing in the once again peaceful and tranquil manor, and cautiously spoke.

“I saw it,” the old man opened his somewhat cloudy eyes and then said with a smile.

“Would you perhaps spare a bit of your time to guide this young family member? You must have seen his potential, which definitely holds a chance to reach higher levels.”

“Let’s not. He’s already reached such a state on his own; he no longer needs guidance from an old fellow like me who’s of no use, and I shouldn’t overstep in matters that aren’t my concern,” the old man still chose to shake his head in refusal.

“But…”

“There’s no but, don’t underestimate that young lad. He is much more outstanding than you imagine. If it had been in my time, his breaking through at such an age would also have caused a huge sensation; even a Martial Emperor seated high above would have reached out to him, wanting to take him as a disciple.”

“In that case, you…”

“I am not a Martial Emperor, so I am not qualified to teach him. However, speaking as peers is possible,”

“But he is your junior; how could you possibly treat him as your peer?”

“In Martial Arts, age does not matter; the accomplished can be teachers.”

…

“What’s going on here? First, we had a twenty-seven-year-old Martial Supreme, and then not long after, out pops a seventeen-year-old young Martial Supreme. Things are changing too quickly nowadays,” an elderly man straightening his back while trimming a roadside flower bed, looked towards the end of the neat street where news was being broadcasted on a large screen, smacking his lips,

“I thought Martial Arts would completely wither away in our generation, but lo and behold, two new Martial Supremes have emerged. Achieving such feats at their age, they both have the potential of a Martial Emperor.”
