Complete Martial Arts Attributes

After all, he would inevitably meet his demise at the hands of a paramount figure in the realm sooner or later. This was an unalterable truth.

Unless the five major families could dispatch a paramount figure of their own to intercept that fire-element universe-stage martial warrior!

However, was this possible?

They gazed towards the distant, intense battlefield, shaking their heads once more.

The Black Skull Universe Pirates seemed to have anticipated this, as they deployed not just five paramount figures, but others joined the fray as well.

Many warriors from the five major families were held back, utterly unable to intervene.

This "Han Zhu" was destined to fall in the end!

Indeed, as if to affirm their suspicions, the radiant burst of the black lotus, seemingly held back by an unseen force, abruptly ceased its expansion, then violently contracted, vanishing into thin air amidst the stunned onlookers.

The fire-element universe-stage martial warrior reappeared before them, his countenance grim.

He was careless!

He had nearly fallen for the ploy of this youngster before him!

That black lotus harbored a potent venom, not the ordinary kind, but one that swiftly seeped into his body along his Force, catching him unawares and poisoning him deeply.

And this poison, try as he might to purge it, coiled around his Force like an unyielding shackle, even spreading towards his flesh and blood.

Given time and certain methods, he might have been able to expel it completely, but such a feat was impossible at this moment.

"Young man, what kind of venom is this?" The fire-element universe-stage martial warrior's gaze turned icy as he stared at Wang Teng's clone.

"Take a guess," Wang Teng's clone looked at him fearlessly and said calmly.

"Seeking death!" The fire-element universe-stage martial warrior's eye twitched, and in an instant, his body transformed into a remnant shadow, viciously reaching out towards Wang Teng: "Meet your end!"

The Force condensed into a massive claw, descending upon Wang Teng. All eyes turned towards them, faces taut with tension. Could Han Zhu still hold his ground?

"I think only my main body can fight with a universe-stage martial warrior!" Wang Teng's clone raised his head and muttered to himself.

He made no move, only watching as the claw descended, seemingly resigned to no longer resist.

"Accepting his fate?" Duke Yaheng and the others shook their heads.

Within the younger generation of warriors like Zuo Gu and Chi Yi, emotions grew exceedingly complex. They neither wished for Han Zhu to beg for mercy nor for him to exhibit even greater talent.

If "Han Zhu" were to plead with a paramount figure, it would signify complete submission, implying that their younger generation of warriors had no resistance whatsoever before such figures, leaving them disheartened.

But Han Zhu's talent had already made them feel powerless.

If he could truly contend with a universe-stage figure, it would be too extraordinary. The emergence of such a prodigy among their peers would lead to despair.

The fire-element universe-stage martial warrior sneered.

Had he given up?

He had merely struggled for a moment before recognizing reality. Truly, he was nothing more than a slightly stronger ant.

Boom!

The colossal claw descended entirely, seizing Wang Teng's clone within its grasp and squeezing mercilessly.

"Feel the despair!"

The fire-element cosmic level martial fighter did not immediately kill Wang Teng's clone. Instead, he looked upon him with scorn.

"Brother Han!" Yizang Xinnuo covered her mouth, despair evident in her eyes.

From astonishment to despair, the transition was but a brief moment, and her heart plummeted to the depths.

And this time, she feared, there might be no climbing back up.

"Release him!" Hengzang Chuan's expression soured as he witnessed the scene, his voice ringing out.

If the person they wanted to protect was captured just like that, where would they put their face?

The Heishan Royal Clan utterly disregarded them, trampling their pride into the ground.

"You'd better look after yourselves." The fire-element universe-stage martial fighter scoffed, "If that Councilor Wang Teng doesn't show up, you'll be facing the Stellar Academies. Hahaha…"

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The five cosmic level martial warriors from the Black Skull Universe Pirates launched relentless attacks, leaving the five family heads struggling to keep up.

Hengzang Chuan and the others had ugly expressions. They could not spare any time to save "Han Zhu".

Under the assault of those five cosmic level figures, even the tokens in their hands showed signs of instability.

The five tokens were originally connected by some special runic form, requiring their Force to activate and maintain.

Now, with the need to fend off the attacks from the five paramount figures, their Forces naturally couldn't remain stable, resulting in an extremely fragile connection between the five tokens.

The dimensional rift at the center of the Five Burial Stars began to fluctuate.

Ripples radiated out.

Under such chaotic spatial fluctuations, the entrance to the Five Burials Ancestral Land could no longer be sustained and began to shrink slowly.

"The dimensional rift is closing!" Duke Yaheng and the others looked towards the entrance of the Five Burials Ancestral Land, their expressions turning grave.

The councilor hadn't come out. Even if they didn't need to worry too much about him, the weight of a councilor's presence was considerable. Now, with so many eyes on them, the news of his imprisonment couldn't be contained. If word reached the Stellar Academies, it would surely cause a major uproar.

For these major powers, many matters only held weight with evidence. Otherwise, they would merely remain as disputes left on the table.

But with evidence, they would have no defense and would have to face the consequences.

Before, the deaths of those councilors were shrouded in mystery, leaving the Academy Arbitration Association powerless. But now, things were different. With so many witnesses, the five major families couldn't escape responsibility.
