This martial saint's health bar is too thick

Chapter 599 Without waiting for the passing years, I can save the day!
Mingdu.

A sudden fire shocked everyone.

The fire started in the eastern district and spread all the way toward the palace.

This situation is exactly the same as when the Heavenly Wolf Blood Cavalry massacred the royal city!
The people in the city began to panic.

Does that great man want to carry out another massacre?

Is it not enough that they already have power? Does the Great Manchu want to wipe out the entire Sukhe family before they are satisfied?!

The fire did not spread to the palace and was quickly brought under control and then extinguished.

The cause of the fire could not be determined; it appears to have been an accident.

But everyone knew this couldn't have been an accident.

The fire has been extinguished, but the fear and doubt that were ignited in people's hearts continue to spread.
On top of the sacred mountain.

The great formation that isolated the outside world was broken, and Daman's voice once again resounded on the sacred mountain.

Two temple shamans who participated in the siege of Styx were the first to be summoned.

"Why was the talisman lit prematurely, when it's only been less than three months?"

Qilian Guanshi, seated on his divine throne, asked in a calm tone.

Despite the absence of any oppressive aura, the two shamans, both top-tier immortals, felt a tremor deep within their souls.

The two bowed deeply.

"Your Majesty, the strain caused by Li Fei is too great; everyone feels they can't hold on any longer. Coupled with the actions of the Great Blue Dynasty, we simply have no other choice. If you don't intervene soon, the city may descend into complete chaos."

Last night's fire was undoubtedly a conspiracy.

The two temple shamans knew perfectly well that the fire was the work of the heads of various families and other powerful figures.

Everyone wanted to force Qilian Guanshi to come out of seclusion!
This was just a large fire. If Qilian Guanshi doesn't come out of seclusion, the two temple shamans can't predict what will happen next.

Left with no other choice, they had to notify Qilian Guanshi.

Qilian Guanshi and Tuoba Shanhai went into seclusion. Although the formation completely isolated him from the outside world, he could not completely give up control over the outside world.

So he gave each of the two temple shamans a talisman, so that if there was an urgent matter outside that required him to come out of seclusion immediately, the two shamans could light the talisman.

Now, the talisman is lit.

Qilian Guanshi had no choice but to leave the pass ahead of schedule.

"waste!"

After listening to their stories, Qilian Guanshi spoke in an icy tone.

The two temple shamans trembled and quickly apologized.

"Let everyone come to see me."

Qilian Guanshi gave the order.

A moment later, all the top nobles of the grassland royal court, the heads of various families, including the new Khan Sukhrenhe, all came to the temple.

They gathered together in the main hall.

Everyone immediately looked at the silent Tuoba Shanhai, wanting to know if this number one warrior of the grasslands had successfully broken through to the next level.

"Because of your incompetence, Chief Tuoba and I had to leave seclusion early, which is why we failed to break through to the next realm."

Qilian Guanshi immediately shifted the blame.

"."

Everyone remained silent, none daring to voice their doubts.

“Great Manchu, the people of the Central Plains are trying to shake the faith of the grasslands, so we have no choice but to let you leave the pass ahead of schedule.”

A young voice suddenly rang out.

Everyone looked over and saw the new Khan—Sukhrenhe.

He sat beside Qilian Guanshi, his throne slightly lower than the other's.

The newly enthroned king of the grasslands has maintained a low profile and has not expressed any dissatisfaction with any of the orders issued by Qilian Guanshi.

Everyone knows that the other party is just a puppet.

Unexpectedly, the other party would step forward to help everyone out of this predicament.

The reason given by Suherenhe was the key reason why everyone wanted to force Qilian Guanshi to leave the seclusion ahead of schedule.

The Great Blue Dynasty not only shook the faith of the grassland people, but also the rule of these nobles over the people under their jurisdiction!
Qilian Guanshi turned to look at Suherenhe, a smile appearing on his face.

Although he was now the de facto ruler of the steppes, at least outwardly, he needed to show respect to the Khan.

“Indeed, I have heard reports about recent events. The Great Blue Dynasty is indeed shaking the foundations of the grasslands. This is a very vicious move, and we have no choice but to take action.”

Suherenhe nodded to Qilian Guanshi, his expression somewhat nervous, but he still tried to remain calm and asked:
"I wonder what countermeasures the Great Manchu have?"

Qilian Guanshi turned to look at the crowd, and an aura even more majestic than the sacred mountain rose from his body:

"Of course—we'll fight!"

A magnificent sound emanated from the sacred mountain, bathing the believers in Mingdu City in divine light, who cheered loudly.

The decision to launch a battle outside the city has been made, and everyone is making final preparations.

"Tuoba, do you think we can defeat the Central Plains?"

Inside the main hall, only Qilian Guanshi and Tuoba Shanhai remained.

Upon hearing Qilian Guanshi's question, Tuoba Shanhai's eyes hardened:

"As long as the Great Manchu exists, the sound of horses' hooves on the grasslands will one day resound throughout the Central Plains!"

This was something he was certain of from the very beginning, and he had staked everything on it.

This greatest warrior of the grasslands is Qilian Guanshi's greatest fanatical believer in the world!
Qilian Guanshi smiled slightly, then shook his head:
"I was released from quarantine three months earlier than expected, which made many things more difficult."

In his plan, he would need at least half a year to refine the Yin Soul of the Styx Ancestor, devour the other party's Dao Principles, and complete his own Dao Principles.

However, he has only been in seclusion for less than three months. He has only had time to refine the Yin Soul of the Styx Ancestor and has not yet been able to completely integrate the Dao principles of the two.

The pressure that Li Fei alone brought to Mingdu City was immense!
This was something he hadn't expected.

In addition, the Great Blue Dynasty's series of actions against the grasslands caused the nobles in the city to finally give in.

The city's protective formation, along with various consumables, elixirs, stored faith power, and national fortune, will allow everyone to defend Mingdu City for at least another six months.

But people's hearts could not be kept.
Qilian Guanshi could accurately estimate everything on paper, but he couldn't accurately estimate people's hearts.

Was he forced to leave seclusion early simply because people lacked confidence?
Doesn't this person harbor any resentment towards him?

Qilian Guanshi gave a self-deprecating laugh.

He seized power with absolute force, believing himself to be more authoritative than the young emperor of the Great Blue Dynasty!

Yet he still couldn't get everyone to follow his will.

Have you lost faith too?

Tuoba Shanhai looked at Qilian Guanshi with a serious expression.

Qilian Guanshi: "No, I only see the difficulties ahead, but that will not affect the inevitable victory!"

"Yes!"

Tuoba Shanhai bowed to him, then turned and left.

Watching the other person's departing figure, Qilian Guanshi's eyes were deep and unfathomable.

Compared to the Central Plains, the grasslands still lack cultural heritage.

Even Buddhism, with its thousand-year history, and Taoism, with its eight-hundred-year history, still cannot compare to the Great Blue Dynasty.

This time, he lied to the others, saying that Tuoba Shanhai would break through his cultivation level by taking advantage of the death of the evil demon Li Ming.

However, if Tuoba Shanhai were to actually launch an attack on the peak at this time, the probability of successfully breaking through would be less than 10%.

But just because Tuoba Shanhai couldn't do it doesn't mean the others couldn't either.

Li Ming's death presents an opportunity for all the Grandmasters who have reached the Dao Establishment Realm.

Besides Tuoba Shanhai, the grassland royal court also has two Grandmasters at the Dao Establishment Realm.

One of these two hasn't even perfected his cultivation level yet, and the other needs to leverage the power of the nation to break through; currently, neither of them has much of an opportunity.

In contrast, the Great Blue Dynasty possesses a terrifying talent pool in this area.

The four admirals, the commanders of the four imperial guards, Ni Xuan, the master of Zhige Pavilion, and Han Mu, the commander of the Imperial Guards, together make a total of ten Grandmasters at the Dao Establishment Realm!

Of these ten people, at least half have already perfected their Dao-establishing realm and reached their peak, giving them the opportunity to challenge for the top!
Therefore, Li Ming's death was undoubtedly an opportunity for these people.

Buddhism and Taoism certainly have such Grandmasters at the Dao Establishment Realm, but neither has as many as the Great Blue Dynasty!

This is why Qilian Guanshi lamented the difficult road ahead.

The grasslands were once guarded by top-tier experts, so even someone as powerful as the Great Blue Ancestor could only make the grassland royal court submit to him, but could not completely destroy the grasslands.

Now the grasslands have once again gained a top expert, but the Great Blue Dynasty has also recovered from its slump and has Li Fei, the number one genius in history!

"But victory is inevitable!"

A white prayer wheel appeared behind Qilian Guanshi, and the River Styx flowed through the six realms of reincarnation.

Outside Mingdu City.

Li Fei remained seated cross-legged.

It was already autumn, and the wild grass had turned yellow and withered.

The autumn air was bleak, and a cold wind swept across the shocking low-lying area outside the city.

The traces of the fierce battle are still vivid. More than a zhang (approximately 3.3 meters) of grassland in a radius of 100 zhang (approximately 6.6 meters) was forcibly cut away, exposing dark brown soil and forming a huge, silent, bowl-shaped pit.

Li Fei sat cross-legged in the center of the pit, his figure small yet as immovable as a rock. The pit walls were clean, knife-cut surfaces covered with a layer of withered, yellowed grass that trembled in the bleak wind.

Suddenly, a deeper, more essential stillness began to spread.

It wasn't the withering brought by the autumn wind, but the horror of life being forcibly stripped away. Vast swathes of withered yellow grass were completely annihilated, dried up, and turned to dust at a speed visible to the naked eye!
It was as if an invisible giant hand had brutally snatched away their last vestige of life. Death, like a black tide, surged silently, carrying a chilling cold that froze the soul, coming from all directions, its target Li Fei at the bottom of the pit!

The tide of death crashed violently against the edge of the crater, as if hitting an invisible barrier. There was no earth-shattering roar, only a dull, rumbling sound.

The black death energy, like waves crashing against rocks, splashed upwards, shattered, and then... swirled back.

The reversed tide washed away the deathly blackness, revealing a dazzling, morbidly vibrant emerald green light. Wherever this emerald light swept, the grass roots that had just turned to ashes suddenly sprouted new shoots, breaking through the soil at an unbelievable speed, growing wildly, taller, and sprouting leaves!
In just a few breaths, the pit walls were no longer covered with withered grass, but had formed a lush, towering "grass wall" several meters high, its verdant greenness radiating a breathtakingly powerful life energy.

However, this vigorous vitality lasted only a moment. When the energy of the tide of life accumulated to its peak and reached the "end" of its flow, the emerald green instantly faded and was replaced once again by a thicker and more thorough deathly blackness—the tide of death surged back again!

Like a giant black scythe sweeping across, the once vibrant and exceptionally tall weeds were instantly drained of all moisture and life, emitting a series of subtle and dense "crackling" cracking sounds, withering, disintegrating, and turning into even deeper black dust at an even faster speed!

Life and death, in this small space on the pit wall, play out a cruel yet efficient cycle.

Round after round!
Each life-and-death transition causes the "grass wall" to grow taller and denser in the next wave of life. The reincarnation power contained within it is like refined iron that has been repeatedly forged, layer upon layer, becoming heavier, more condensed, and more destructive with each passing cycle!
"finally come."

Li Fei remained calm as he slowly rose from the ground, allowing himself to be surrounded by the power of reincarnation and the power of the White Pagoda's Blessing Vase Array.

He stayed within the outermost range that the great formation could reach, not out of arrogance.

Rather, as long as he wants to continue to put pressure on Mingdu City, he will inevitably have to get close to the great formation to unleash his strongest attack.

If the people inside the city want to ambush him, they only need to wait until he gets close to the great formation before making their move.

Therefore, Li Fei simply never left the outer perimeter of the great formation.

"Old thing."

Li Fei looked ahead, "Finally dared to come out?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a figure appeared ten meters in front of him; it was Qilian Guanshi, who was also wearing a golden robe.

"Li Fei."

Qilian Guanshi did not show his usual expression of pity, but calmly met Li Fei's gaze:
"You are already able to rival the strongest at the peak even before reaching the top. You truly deserve to be called the greatest genius in history."

Li Fei remained unmoved. When the power of reincarnation appeared, he began to frantically absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and then activated the [Dragon Elephant] divine power.

Qilian Guanshi wasn't in a hurry to make a move; he wanted to chat with him. He was happy to stall for time, waiting for himself to enter his 'ultimate sword state'.

"If I give you more time, until you break through to the peak, then apart from a few people, I'm afraid no one in this world will be your match."

Qilian Guanshi continued, "Since that's the case, why don't we call a truce here?"

"Oh?"

Li Fei's expression shifted slightly. "You're planning to surrender?"

Qilian Guanshi smiled: "It's a ceasefire, not a surrender. As long as you agree, the Grassland Royal Court can sign a ceasefire agreement with the Great Blue Dynasty. As for the terms of the ceasefire, we can discuss them."

Li Fei never expected Qilian Guanshi to make such a suggestion.

He waited outside the city for more than two months, preparing for the great eruption of the Qilian Mountains.

Is this the result?

"How long do you want a truce?"

"Three years. Three years should be enough for you."

"Ah."

"You are the greatest genius in history, time is on your side, do you dare to bet with me on this?"

Qilian Guanshi spread his hands and asked this question.

He was clearly trying to stall for time; he was plotting something.

But he laid out his ideas before Li Fei—

You are the greatest in history. I dare to give you time to continue to grow. Do you dare to bet with me on this?

Li Fei remained silent.

The primordial energy of heaven and earth, like hundreds of rivers flowing into the sea, continued to surge into his body.

The grass walls surrounding the large pit withered and grew back, and the power of reincarnation continued to accumulate and strengthen.

The silence didn't last long; Li Fei gave his answer.

He took a step forward and instantly appeared in front of Qilian Guanshi, standing face to face with him:

"You all think I still need time to grow."

The sword energy sliced ​​Qilian Guanshi's body into hundreds of pieces, causing it to shatter and dissipate into scattered light and shadow.

This is merely a clone created by Qilian Guanshi using magic.

"But I can crush you into the dust right now, why wait for the future?"

Li Fei took a step forward and plunged alone into the Sea of ​​Reincarnation outside the pit!

He transformed himself into a sword, carving a path through the Sea of ​​Reincarnation—

"Three years? I don't even want to wait three days!"

The [Dragon Elephant] Divine Power has not yet been enhanced to its strongest level; he has not yet entered the 'Limited Sword State'.

However, the power of reincarnation outside has not yet been pushed to its strongest point.

A sigh came from the Sea of ​​Reincarnation from Qilian Guanshi:
"Pity"

"Do you think you can stand against me in your current state?!"

As the word 'resistance' fell, the alternation between emerald green and pitch black in the Sea of ​​Reincarnation was no longer a simple color change, but transformed into a substantial energy storm.

At this moment, the fifth cycle had just ended. The newly grown grass wall was over ten feet tall, so green it was almost black. Among the branches and leaves, there were faint streams of emerald green and pitch black light intertwined and swirled, emitting a terrifying pressure that made people's breaths suffocate.

The sixth wave of death, carrying all the power of reincarnation accumulated from the previous five waves, was no longer a tide, but transformed into a jet-black energy pillar, condensed to its extreme and about ten feet in diameter. Like a spear of judgment from the Netherworld, it descended from the sky with a shrill cry that could annihilate all things, piercing straight into Li Feitian's skull!

The ten top combatants currently existing in Mingdu City include Tuoba Shanhai, who uses military tactics to control the Heavenly Wolf Blood Cavalry and has temporarily reached the level of a prince.

The combined power of everyone, plus the power extending from the White Pagoda's Wish-Fulfilling Treasure Bottle Blessing Array.

There is also the power of faith stored atop the sacred mountain, and the destiny of the grassland royal court.

All of them were fused together by Qilian Guanshi using the Dao of Reincarnation, transforming into this pillar of destruction!

Qi Lian Guan Shi spoke powerfully, but he did not underestimate Li Fei in the slightest, and his first move was a devastating attack!

Just as the Pillar of Destruction was about to strike, Li Fei moved.

He raised his right arm, his five fingers loosely clenched as if holding an invisible heavy sword. An overwhelming sword intent suddenly erupted from his body, no longer as sharp and incomparable as before, but as heavy as a mountain and as solid as the earth!
He delivered a level punch to the cascading pillar of death.

A punch is a sword.

This sword strike was as if a mountain had forcefully held up the collapsing heavens and earth.

Turn the tide when it is about to fall, and support the collapsing building.

From being surrounded by enemies and teetering on the brink of collapse, to the current situation gradually changing, who has played the most crucial role?
Of course it's Li Fei!
He sat idly outside Mingdu City for more than two months, not just chatting online with Ning Qingman every day.

For more than two months, he waited for the Myriad Blood Beads to upgrade, while also comprehending the sword.

This is the technique I've come to understand—

[Save the world from collapse!]
Even if the heavens and earth were to crumble, I would save the heavens from collapse!
Although the phrase "ignorant of the heavens" can also be used for defense.

But this newly created [Sky-Swept] is currently Li Fei's strongest defensive move!

He also incorporated the defensive power of the Hunyuan Sword Body into this move.

The immense force burst forth from the body, instantly transforming into a dark golden mountain, solid as a substance and as heavy as black iron, rising against the heavens and holding back the descending pillar of destruction.

Boom——! ! !
A deafening roar erupted, and the entire crater shook violently before collapsing downwards.

The dark golden sword energy collided violently with the pitch-black pillar of death. There was no stalemate, only a violent clash and annihilation of energy.

The pitch-black death energy, like ice and snow meeting the blazing sun, crumbled and dissipated wildly before the heavy and powerful sword energy, then transformed into even stronger life energy, reborn from death and merging into the cycle of reincarnation.

The characteristic of the Dao principle of reincarnation lies in the cycle of energy.

Qilian Guanshi's explosive power is not very strong at the peak, and it is even inferior to Li Fei in his 'Ultimate Sword State'.

But he gets stronger the more he plays!
Outside the pit, wild grasses rapidly change between life and death.

The power of life once again transformed into a tide of death, merging into the pillar of destruction.

The seventh cycle!
The dark golden mountain peaks were constantly being worn away, descending inch by inch!

But Li Fei's aura did not weaken; instead, it became more restrained and profound, like a divine weapon that had been honed.

His [Dragon Elephant] supernatural power is still enhancing the power of the dragon and elephant, and his basic strength has not yet reached a tenfold increase.

Moreover, the sword intent and momentum of the sword move 【Turning the Sky Down】 have become even stronger and more perfect through this refinement!
【Save the Sky】is the third creation-level ultimate move created by Li Fei after 【Ignorant of the Sky】 and 【Fellow Travelers】.

The characteristic of "Ignorance of the Limits" is its ability to encompass all things, thereby continuously raising its upper limit.

The characteristics of 【Save the Sky】 are somewhat similar to those of 【Ignorance of the Sky】.

The greater the pressure you bear, the stronger your power will be!
Therefore, Li Fei is currently sharpening his sword with the help of Qilian Guanshi's power of reincarnation, just like he did back in Cuiqing City.

On the city wall, a flash of anger crossed Qilian Guanshi's eyes.

He certainly saw through Li Fei's intentions.

"You really think I'm a whetstone?!"

His eyes sharpened, and he formed a hand seal.

On the sacred mountain, another stream of faith flowed into his body.

Even more turbulent than before, the life force and death force began to converge and rotate wildly at the edge of the pit, forming a huge millstone of life and death that covered the entire pit!

Outside the sinkhole, the seventh cycle has just ended, the eighth cycle has begun, and then the ninth and tenth cycles.

In the blink of an eye, Qilian Guanshi pushed the power of reincarnation to ten lifetimes!
The millstone of life and death, covering the sky, pressed down, and the dark golden mountain peaks, like bamboo shoots being sliced ​​off section by section, continued to descend.

Li Fei's aura was like a ignited furnace, with dark golden light flowing beneath his skin, and even the surrounding space trembled!

Under this terrifying pressure, he had pushed the defense of the Hunyuan Sword Body to its limit.

But that's still not enough.

Therefore, he used the [Refining] divine power to consume 600 blood souls to enhance the [Dragon Elephant] divine power, instantly bringing it to the limit of 'Ten Dragons and Ten Elephants'.

Li Fei entered the 'Ultimate Sword State'!
The 'Sword Peak,' which had already lost half its height, stopped its decline.

But as new reincarnation power surged into the millstone of life and death, the 'Sword Peak' began to decline once again.

What's your trump card?

On the city wall, Qilian Guanshi stared intently at the figure below 'Sword Peak'.

He knew that Li Fei must have a trump card if he dared to wait for him alone outside Mingdu City.

Is Ning Qingman nearby?
Or is the White Flame Army nearby?
Or something else?
Qilian Guanshi awaits Li Fei to reveal his trump card.
You can't escape death every time!

He clenched his fists, thinking with some resentment.
