Di Qi was sent flying backward.

His entire body shattered into countless grains of sand, as if he had instantly been subjected to ultra-high-frequency quantum vibrations measured in trillions, like colossal waves crashing one after another…

"What kind of martial art is this?"

Di Qi recovered, his body rapidly reforming, flesh and blood regenerating. Yet, he halted, his expression filled with shock.

The Martial Alliance Leader, from a distance, gazing across from the other side of the dark planet, smiled and said, "It's the force of martial arts."

Di Qi asked, "Just raw force can produce such incredible effects?"

"If you're willing to spend ninety-nine percent of your time every day monotonously punching—with no friends, no entertainment, no communication, no sect, no disciples—just punching innumerable times a day, you can also achieve this effect that I have."

"It's a pity they made someone as inactive as me the supreme leader of the martial world: the Martial Alliance Leader. The world is truly unjust... I once challenged them, wanting to abdicate and let someone more worthy take over, but every sect and faction avoided me."

The Martial Alliance Leader smiled wryly, standing above the celestial ocean of planets, and said, "So-called martial arts are merely the application of force. Whether it's traditional martial arts... or new martial arts, it's all the same!"

In essence, martial arts are indeed the application of force.

Traditional classical martial arts naturally deal with macroscopic physical mechanics.

Non-classical martial arts, like quantum mechanics, are also about microscopic molecular physical mechanics.

It's just that quantum force has very peculiar characteristics, such as quantum entanglement...

"As they entered the cosmic martial world, they became increasingly flashy, utilizing so-called quantum entanglement with various quantum martial arts like 'A Dream of the Cosmos,' 'Carefree Roaming,' 'Delusional Demonic Separation Art'... I am different from them; I still adhere to the most classical martial spirit: Martial Intent!"

The Martial Alliance Leader chuckled, his eyes filled with longing and emotion, sighing as he said, "Ever since I was little and began learning martial arts, I loved listening to stories, especially from the old man at the village entrance.

"I encountered something that really broke me at the time, and I went to the old man with my questions. So, he told me a story."

His gaze seemed to be filled with vibrant colors, as if he was seeing distant memories.

"That twilight, the old man stroked my despondent head and said: 'Don't be disheartened. Three hundred years ago, in Yun Family Village, there was a very foolish person with terribly poor talent. But he relentlessly swung his sword at a wooden post, chopping countless times a day, day after day, year after year... He only mastered the simplest straight cut, but this one sword strike became divine by layering countless forces within it.

"Force is a strange thing. It's like ripples in water: the first layer is weak, the second is a bit stronger, and the third, by layering upon the others, begins to become terrifying. So, with that one sword strike, using such a foolish method, he dominated the entire martial world...'"

The Martial Alliance Leader's eyes were full of longing as he said, "He only knew that one move, but almost no one could evade it."

Di Qi couldn't help but show a trace of admiration, saying, "So, back then, you were very foolish, and encouraged by the old man, you also practiced only this one move, diligently, hundreds of millions of times, almost reaching the Dao... until you became the Martial Alliance Leader? Sweeping across the entire era?"

Such an opponent, with such pure martial spirit, is truly worthy of respect.

"No, no, no, you've misunderstood."

"If everyone could reach my level through arduous training, that would be truly laughable. No matter how hard mediocre people try, they still wouldn't become as powerful as me, the foremost figure in the entire cosmic martial world."

The Martial Alliance Leader's face was calm as he slowly explained, "I wasn't foolish at all; on the contrary, I was incredibly intelligent. From childhood, I grasped martial arts techniques instantly. Others called me a monster; I could learn any of their moves very quickly. But once I learned them, I found them uninteresting, too boring. Those sword forms, those boxing techniques, they had no learning difficulty whatsoever... My life became extremely dull."

The players nearby immediately understood.

One must know that others in parallel universes, like the Demonic Lord, You, and Zhou Meng, were all incredibly prodigious talents. How could the Martial Alliance Leader be weaker than them...?

After all, they were all alternate selves from the same parallel timeline.

Di Qi's face stiffened, his expression odd. He couldn't help but ask, "Then that day, your question to the old man was..."

"When I was eight, my question to the old man at the village entrance was: 'I'm too strong. Is there any cultivation method in this world that I can't learn? I want the most difficult, the absolute hardest kind. I want to add some challenge to my life.'" The Martial Alliance Leader's eyes were full of longing. "So, the old man told me that story. That person's cultivation method added difficulty for me."

Di Qi: "......"

The players were also dumbfounded: "???"

They had originally thought it was an incredibly inspiring story of a hardworking genius, constantly cultivating his inner force, finally able to defeat other geniuses and roam the martial world. Who knew he was a super genius from the start...

So it wasn't because he was too foolish that the old man used this story to comfort him... but because he was *too* intelligent, finding life utterly devoid of challenge, leading him to despair over life's lack of difficulty...

"As you can see."

The Martial Alliance Leader said earnestly, "I am incredibly intelligent... I could easily create world-shaking cultivation methods comparable to theirs... But I didn't, because it would have been too unchallenging, too flashy, with no difficulty at all. Life felt too easy, so I kept repeating, repeating, repeating, repeating... choosing the most difficult path to find a challenge..."

He suddenly vanished from his spot.

"I'm truly in agony!"

A complex mix of memories surfaced for him as he raised his fist high, seemingly containing the weight of a world, overflowing with endless brilliant radiance.

"Oh, how lonely I've been through countless days and nights, lamenting how uninteresting life is! Not a single challenge ever appeared... I just wanted my life to be a little harder!"

With one punch, Di Qi instantly turned into dissipating smoke, like a sand painting.

Boom, boom, boom, boom!

The quantum punch landed, countless quantum fluctuations vibrating, forming an extremely dense and ordered super-wave, one layering upon another, one overwhelming the next, creating a terrifying qualitative change.

Di Qi died countless, countless times in an instant.

Bang, bang, bang!!

"Martial Intent is limitless! Even a genius like me must be like an idiot! Punch, punch, punch wildly!"

"I am more diligent than the most diligent person!"

"I use the most brilliant mind to do the most foolish things! Only then could I reach this point!"

"You... perhaps even more intelligent than I, who am already a genius, intelligent beyond imagination, but you won't be able to learn this! Pure, sheer training!... There are no shortcuts!"

The entire sky outside the planet shattered, like a mirror.

The Martial Alliance Leader's energy, like the Demonic Lord's, could not surpass Di Qi, but his combat power had reached an exaggerated extreme, sweeping across the entire world with sheer skill.

Breaking the Dao with force.

This is the true kingly martial art.

Whoosh.

The next second, Di Qi reformed in the distance.

His eyes, watching the man in the Martial Alliance Leader's cape, flashed with disbelief, "Unbelievable! I have always fought above my league, yet there is someone who can defy hierarchy and fight from a lower position to a higher one!"

"Indeed, the world holds infinite possibilities."

"There are always some prodigies in the world who, like me, experience a lonely childhood, feeling out of place with others... So, back then, I chose to hide in the shadows, observing era after era... while he chose a boring and monotonous path to pass the time and add difficulty to his life..."

Di Qi's expression turned cold, a sense of shared experience washing over him. "Is this the meaning of life he chose?"

This pure training and accumulation, devoid of any skill or shortcut, was something he couldn't learn.

But anyone could learn it.

His method was extremely simple; anyone could follow his path. However, whether they could reach his height was another question entirely.

"Is this all you have?"

The Martial Alliance Leader stopped, draped in his white cape, and said with a bitter expression, "Indeed, the outside world is still too weak... I can no longer find my limits... I can only defeat you and go back to repeating... repeating my daily punching practice."

"You are quite remarkable."

Di Qi suddenly opened his eyes, a cold glint flashing as he stared at his opponent.

"For a long time, I have been exclusively studying and battling with the cultivation methods of others... but that doesn't mean I only learn others' techniques and have no combat power of my own. It's just... I'm integrating them."

Di Qi's entire body suddenly swelled, his aura spreading overwhelmingly, expanding.

He became completely serious. Previously, he had mainly been studying others' cultivation methods, but that didn't mean he lacked combat power himself. His learning wasn't just imitation; it was about integration and mastery.

"Great Luo Heavenly Scripture."

Di Qi's body trembled, and he completely erupted.

A terrifying aura of cosmic law violently surged through the starry sky, his body surrounded by countless celestial phenomena: tsunamis, scorching suns, storms, as if he were the sole, peerless true god, both in heaven and on earth.

"Bang!"

Both men's expressions turned cold. Without a word, they clashed instantly.

Terrifying phenomena of cosmic law spread overwhelmingly.

Di Qi's Great Luo Heavenly Scripture encompassed all things, inspiring immense dread just by witnessing it. Yet, his opponent easily shattered it with every punch and kick!

"Is this... the true ultimate system of martial arts?!"

Pan Xuexian's eyes burned with fervor. "Too powerful!! He hasn't cultivated a martial path that enhances life resilience or takes on a muscular form. This is pure martial arts, relying solely on skill and the application of force... and it's so awe-inspiring, reaching such an unfathomable height! Is this the ultimate system martial arts evolves into?"

The players watching from afar were also stunned.

"A master of mechanics."

"A physics professor."

"This person is a natural, severe grinder; despite being incredibly talented, he enjoys 'hardcore punk' hellish difficulties, seeking out the most challenging and monotonous tasks."

"My Martial Alliance Leader is so handsome, but unfortunately, he's not just a big oaf; he's also a masochistic pervert."

"He's such an intense grinder, he probably feels uneasy if he doesn't grind every day!"

Everyone was astonished!

The martial world is vast and full of surprises.

Because he was too much of a genius and found creating new cultivation methods unchallenging, he sought out the most difficult things to do, to challenge himself. What did it feel like to stack his Martial Intent to its peak?
