The Martial Unity

A maelstrom of pressure had engulfed the entire Gereign Region. Every animal, monster, human, and Martial Artist felt a mind-churning pressure crash into them. True terror sprung up within their hearts, crippling them.

Many froze, paralyzed.

Others shivered in horror.

Many simply fainted then and there, despite the enormous distance between them and the source of the great pressure that they experienced.

Rui and Zenshin gulped as they stood up behind their Masters, trying to maintain their composure as much as they could. Senior Zenshin in particular, struggled as he did his best to resist the mental pressure crashing into him.

Rui was a lot calmer, yet even he felt a tingling nervousness. The battle had begun sooner than he had expected. One moment, the two Martial Masters were standing right before them, and the very next moment they disappeared.

Every cell in their body screamed danger.

A peril unlike anything they were accustomed to washed over them. Every instinct in their body wanted them to run away.

Master Zeamer's very existence seemed to morph into an entirely different entity. He turned into the rotating dichromatic spiral that Rui had come to grow familiar with in the past two years, having fully activated his Martial Mind.

"What a paltry Martial Embodiment." Master Haishi's voice echoed across the skies from all directions. "Allow me to bear mine!"

Master Zeamer raised an eyebrow as a vast mist wrapped around the hypnotic spiral, obscuring it and everything around it.

The two Martial Embodiments captured the totality
