The Martial Unity
chapter-1936

The six Master-level creatures were not only the apex predators of the region but also its rulers in many ways. These aggressive territorial creatures had risen victorious in hunts and territory disputes over many centuries, growing stronger and stronger with each victory until they reached their current size and degree of power.

It was a feat that could not be understated.

Competition in the Beast Domain was extraordinarily brutal, not just because it was inherently highly competitive but also because of continuous human encroachment and annexation of Beast Domain territory.

This continuously forced even greater inward migration, increasing density and, thus, competition.

What could be said of the creatures that had risen victorious over centuries in such a competitive environment?

What could be said of monsters that had been forged in the crucibles of the Beast Domain to become the undisputed rulers of their region?

At the very least, Rui had no words to describe them.

The monkey, the crow, the snake, the spider, the earthen basilisk, and the shark each radiated bloodlust as they beheld the creature that had challenged them.

As highly territorial creatures, it was not a challenge that they could ignore. It was not a challenge that they were willing to delay, either.

A single meaning radiated from their non-verbal communication.

Impudent human.

Raw horror erupted from within Rui as the creatures leaped into action, converging on him.

RUMBLE!!!!!

Heaven and earth shook violently, rocked to their very cores as the six Master-level creatures launched six extraordinary attacks at him.

The combined might of six Master-level attacks converged onto where he stood.

Rui never stood a chance from the very beginning.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!

The resulting explosion from the sheer weight of their attacks far exceeded anything that the Martial Senior had been hit with.

The devastating power that ensued tore the world asunder.

Nature itself mourned as the powers of the six Master-level creatures spread.

They spread far beyond the region.

The ripples from their powers caused earthquakes to ravage regions beyond theirs. They caused many hurricanes and tornadoes to erupt in the surrounding areas.

The topography of the native region of the six Master-level creatures had been altered beyond recognition.

The catastrophic power of the six Master-level creatures exceeded that of natural calamities. When exerted, the very world around them bent to their power. It was power far beyond that of the Senior Realm.

It took a long time for the world to settle from the destruction that the six Master-level creatures had unleashed.

When the dust settled, the impudent Martial Senior was gone.

Not even ashes remained.

It was as though the combined devastation that the six apex rulers of the region had erased him from the very world around them.

The impudent human was doomed from the very beginning

In fact, the outcome was so incredibly one-sided that the six Master-level creatures could not help but wonder why the impudent human had been confident enough to challenge them.

Usually, whether due to intelligence or a sense of self-

preservation, the creatures that challenged them were not too below them. Even if they were weaker, they usually weren't so to a degree where the six of them could effortlessly dominate them; otherwise, they would have never issued a challenge in the first place.

In this case, however, for the first time in their lives, they had been issued a challenge by someone powerful enough to warrant being taken seriously but ended up being weaker than any of their previous challengers.

They were not particularly surprised by the creature's size. They had faced enough Martial Masters in the past to know that these creatures, despite their diminutive size, were able to exert unfathomable power.

In the past, there had been many such Martial Masters who were strong enough to fight all six of them together.

With unfathomable speed, power, and defense and a mind-

bogglingly complex and sophisticated fighting style, each of the six Master-level creatures had quickly learned that they could not fight against Martial Masters by themselves.

They were often too lacking by themselves.

Oftentimes, they were far too slow to even touch Martial Masters; sometimes, they were too vulnerable. Other times, they simply had no solution to the absurd techniques that these annoying creatures used.

Whether it was things like misdirection or hypnosis, poison or weapons, as well as powerful forces that they didn't even understand. Just the fact that these monsters had absolute control and mastery over their power allowed them to wield it like surgeons, leaving the beasts and monsters of the Beast Domain feeling primitive and paltry in comparison.

Then there was the fact that these creatures could transform into entirely different existences, becoming inscrutable to fight!

It was unfathomable.

They were gods of war. Monsters of conflict. Beings born for the sole sake of combat in the eyes of the powerful beasts and monsters of the Beast Domain.

That was why all six of them had come to fight Rui together when they had sensed the familiar aura of a Martial Master. Only the six of them together possessed the power to defend their territory from the overwhelming might of Martial Masters.

These experiences made them wary of the Human Domain from which these beings came. Who knew just what kind of horrors it held?

That was also why they were barely able to coexist. If not for the pressure from the Human Domain and the Martial Artists that scoured it, these creatures would have long begun challenging each other for absolute dominance.

Each of the six creatures glanced at each other, flummoxed, before going back to their sections of the forest. They each had claimed about a sixth of the region that suited them, uncaring for the other parts.

They each returned, grateful that what had been shaping up to be a destructive fight with a powerful foe turned out to be a false alarm with a weakling whom they had annihilated with ease.

Alas, they didn't understand just how wrong they were in that regard.
