All People: I Slay Gods with Martial Arts

1: Chapter 1 Awakening the Heaven-Shattering Martial BodyGreat Xia Kingdom.

Jiuding Academy, the highest institution of learning.

Ye Xiu, a martial arts student admitted on a special recruitment program, stared at a series of exaggerated videos in his dormitory, lost in thought.

”Longhu Mountain Daoist Priest Undergoing Tribulation and Ascension...”

”Phantom images of celestial palaces appearing in the clouds above the Kunlun Mountains, suspected to be super-ancient ruins...”

”Giant apes twenty meters tall spotted in Shennongjia...”

”A flood dragon soaring into the sky over the East Sea, suspected to be Undergoing Tribulation to transform into a true Dragon...”

These exaggerated videos left Ye Xiu deeply shaken. If these videos weren’t doctored, then his worldview was about to shatter.

Creeeak.

The wooden door of the dormitory opened.

His roommate, Fatty Wang, walked in casually, muttering as he moved, ”Hey, Brother Ye, Great Xia is conscripting again. This is already the ninth time. With a national population of 1.5 billion, there are now 100 million soldiers. You should see the media in Eagle Country; they’re all clamoring to use nukes to teach us a lesson.”

Ye Xiu curled his lip and said nothing.

He clicked his mouse again, beginning to search through various theories.

Some said Great Xia was preparing to unify the Chinese world through force, while others speculated that these multiple conscriptions were preparations to trample over the Cherry Blossom Country.

He scrolled for a long time.

One well-reasoned speculation made Ye Xiu’s eyes light up.

The Spiritual Qi Recovery Theory!

It claimed that Great Xia had been advised by high-level Daoist masters, and everything being done now was to prepare for the recovery of Spiritual Qi.

The poster listed a series of evidence.

Ye Xiu felt the most logical point among them was the Nine Main Cities Project.

This project was Great Xia’s century-long plan.

A hundred years ago, under the site selection of Daoist Celestial Masters, Great Xia chose nine cities as cornerstones and began a century-long migration plan.

This year was the hundredth year.

The plan was quite successful. As expected, the nine giant cities became Great Xia’s strongest fortresses, housing 1.5 billion citizens.

Yanjing,

Chang’an,

Luoyang,

Jinling,

Qifeng,

Shangdu,

Yunzhong,

Tianfu,

Chaoge.

These nine main cities were the plan from back then, designed to deal with the great changes of heaven and earth when Spiritual Qi recovered.

According to the poster, the geography of the nine cities had been calculated by Daoist Celestial Masters. Even if heaven and earth underwent great changes, the locations of the nine cities would not experience much turmoil.

”Is this for real?”

As he read deeper into the post, Ye Xiu couldn’t help but feel his skepticism wavering.

”Hey, Brother Ye, you’re reading this post too? Hehe, I have to say, this poster is a real talent—talking nonsense with such logic and evidence.” Fatty Wang chuckled.

”You’ve seen it too?”

”Of course, this post is super popular. I don’t know what the network admins are doing; they haven’t banned such well-reasoned nonsense. They really aren’t afraid of causing social unrest.”

Ye Xiu was about to speak.

Suddenly, the sky turned dark in an instant.

”What’s going on?”

Both of them looked on in confusion. Before they could turn on the light, a thunderclap resounded through heaven and earth.

Rumble... Crackle...

The earth shook, and the boundless dark sky was illuminated by lightning.

Beep, beep, beep...

Air raid sirens blared. Everyone was shocked, wondering what was happening. Was a nuclear war starting?

But as a dazzling light appeared on everyone’s bodies,

those who had been screaming, thinking a nuclear war was about to start, became bewildered again.

Above the nine main cities,

the sky was shrouded in various rays of auspicious light.

Countless people watched the changes in themselves or others, all showing looks of horror.

The Spiritual Qi Recovery had officially begun.

The Blue Planet underwent a massive transformation, with land and mountains growing at millions of times their normal speed.

The sea surged with towering waves.

Various animals were evolving frantically under the impact of Spiritual Qi.

In Tianfu City,

Ye Xiu felt the changes in himself as an unprecedented power appeared within his body.

While he was wondering,

the official broadcast suddenly resounded throughout the entire city area.

”The old era has passed. Citizens of Great Xia, do not panic. Please stay where you are and wait for the completion of the Awakening ceremony.”

”For this day, Great Xia has prepared for a hundred years and has been ready for war for a hundred years.”

”The time of our trial has come.”

”After today, the city will face the first wave of Vicious Beast riots. Citizens who have awakened a certain level of combat power, please consciously protect our common home.”

”Anyone who breaks the law during the chaos will be sentenced to death. Those who assist in killing criminals will be held blameless.”

”The combat power Realms and levels are now being announced.”

”Transcendence Realm: Possessing the strength of nine oxen, a punch can shatter metal and stone.”

”Sky-Soaring Realm: Treading upon the void, walking through the air.”

”Mingdao Realm: Understanding the laws of heaven and earth, borrowing the power of the world.”

”Void Imperial Realm: Roaming the Great Void, transcending heaven and earth.”

The official words were broadcast on a loop across the nine main cities.

As Ye Xiu listened to the words and felt his Bloodline gradually Awakening, the shock in his heart was impossible to hide.

The Great Xia officials had released combat power Realms. Was this the beginning of cultivation?

And there were Vicious Beast riots in the city?

Questions flashed through Ye Xiu’s mind, taking him a long, long time to digest.

The impact of Spiritual Qi in the world lasted for an entire night.

When the sun rose normally the next day, a new chapter of history officially began.

”Holy crap, Brother Ye, I’ve awakened the Yanhuang Bloodline! Damn, I really am the child of destiny!”

Inside the dormitory, Fatty Wang’s face was flushed with excitement as he hopped around. His originally somewhat flabby body, after a night of Spiritual Qi washing, was now comparable to a professional athlete’s.

Ye Xiu didn’t speak; he felt a power he had never experienced before.

Besides that, the prompts in his mind shocked him even more.

Looking at the extra Medicinal Pills in his hand, he frowned slightly, tentatively took one out, and put it in his mouth.

The Medicinal Pill melted as soon as it hit his tongue.

The powerful medicinal force instantly fused into his Bloodline.

Boom!

An invisible aura erupted within the dormitory.

Fatty Wang, who was still hopping around nearby, looked bewildered. Before he could speak, he was blown away by the powerful air current.

Seeing this, Ye Xiu could only say ’sorry’ in his heart.

According to the official announcement, after the Spiritual Qi impact ended, there would be Vicious Beasts in the city. Most likely, they were the cats and dogs in the main cities that had evolved due to the Spiritual Qi impact.

Those beasts were not like humans.

With a whole night of Spiritual Qi supply, God knows to what extent those beasts would evolve.

He swallowed the Medicinal Pills one by one.

Ye Xiu didn’t dare waste time. Although no Vicious Beasts were visible right now, it didn’t mean there weren’t any. Although the academy prohibited keeping pets, there were definitely things like rats.

He had to obtain the strength to protect himself right now.

Stimulated by the medicinal force, the power in Ye Xiu’s body rose rapidly.

The intensity of the Heaven-Breaking Martial Body was extremely high.

Originally, the medicinal force of a single [mortal-breaking pill] was completely enough for an ordinary Martial Artist to shed their mortal coil and achieve the Transcendence Realm.

However, it was only after Ye Xiu had swallowed all one hundred pills...

...that with a boom, he broke through.
