This martial saint's health bar is too thick

Chapter 648 Reaching the Summit in One Day: All Laws Vanish, Enemy Leaders Slain, and Peace Reigns Over the World
On the plains, corpses lay strewn everywhere, and blood flowed like rivers.

Clanging armor, clashing swords and spears!
The eight imperial guards of the Great Blue Dynasty and the 12,000 monk soldiers of the Western Kingdom had been fighting for nearly an hour.

The two sides started by launching a long-range attack with their battle formations, followed by a large-scale charge and close-quarters combat.

The formation dispersed and regrouped time and time again.

When a thousand-man army formation is broken up, it is reorganized into a five-hundred-man army formation, then into a three-hundred-man, a hundred-man, and a fifty-man army formation.

Although the key to this battle lies with those top experts, the brutality of the fighting among these 20,000-plus warriors is actually the greatest of all!

Although the Western Kingdom has 12,000 monk soldiers, most of them have only received their weapons and started training in the last two years and lack practical combat experience.

In terms of subtle control over military formations and teamwork, the Buddhist monks' soldiers were inferior to the imperial guards of the Great Blue Dynasty.

Therefore, although the eight imperial guards were outnumbered, they fought very proactively.

However, these warrior monks of the Western Kingdom were selected from the most devout believers, possessing an extremely firm will and unwavering loyalty to the Western Kingdom!
Even if they fight to the last man, these monk soldiers will not waver!
In contrast, although the eight Imperial Guards that accompanied Wenren Zheng on this expedition were also elite soldiers selected from among the best, their fighting spirit was not as firm as that of the monks from the Western Kingdom.

After nearly an hour of bloody fighting, the eight imperial guards suffered nearly 4000 casualties, while the Western Kingdom's monks also suffered nearly 6000 casualties.

Both sides have suffered more than half their casualties!
The morale of the Imperial Guard has clearly dropped significantly, and there is a tendency for small-scale collapses.

Meanwhile, the monks of the Western Kingdom continued their valiant fight.

Once the Imperial Guard is completely defeated, the remaining 5000-plus monk soldiers can still form five thousand-man formations, equivalent to five Grandmasters.

Such combat power is already capable of having a certain impact on the top battlefield!

On the other side, the battle between the powerful figures of the Great Blue Dynasty and the powerful figures of the Western Extreme Kingdom is about to come to a conclusion.

The two sides were initially evenly matched. The Great Blue Dynasty had fewer top experts than the Western Kingdom, but it had many martial arts masters and True Immortals to assist it, which helped it stabilize the situation.

The problem arose from Jinglian's involvement.

He had previously lost the blessing of Jingheng's "Buddha's Words," causing his combat power to drop from its peak, and was temporarily sealed by the Qing Shuang Army using the power of the Dao.

After he escaped the imprisonment thanks to the nation's fortune, this great Arhat did not rashly participate in the battle at the summit.

His thinking was clear: although he had the combat power of a prince, he could not play a decisive role in the battle at the top level and could not gain an advantage in the short term.

Therefore, Jinglian chose to join the 'second-tier' battlefield.

As a prince-level expert, he could easily dominate a battlefield filled with grandmasters and martial arts masters.

A demon-subduing pestle, crackling with blazing lightning, like a dragon of divine punishment, forcefully tore through layers of space, carrying a destructive aura as it forcibly entered the two martial arts domains that were fiercely clashing!
One of the martial arts domains belongs to Liu Changwen, the president of Baisha University.

Within the Martial Arts Domain, countless raging tornadoes connecting the sky and the earth were wreaking havoc. The howling winds transformed into invisible yet incomparably sharp blades, frantically cutting and shredding everything within the domain.

Liu Changwen was engaged in a fierce battle with one of the guardian deities of Pudu Temple. The martial domains of the two Grandmasters of the Divine Evolution Realm were like two towering waves, violently colliding, squeezing, and eroding each other, attempting to completely annihilate the other!

This was originally a close contest, but Jinglian's long-planned and sudden attack instantly broke the stalemate.

The Vajra Pestle, carrying the mighty power of thunder and unparalleled penetrating force, calmed the howling winds wherever it passed, and the raging tornadoes were as if gripped by an invisible giant hand, dissipating and annihilating!
Boom——! ! !
The Vajra Pestle struck Liu Changwen's chest squarely, like a violent thunderbolt falling from the heavens. Liu Changwen's body was momentarily stunned by the backlash from the Martial Dao Domain.

The power of thunder exploded, causing Liu Changwen's blood and qi to surge.

At the same time, Jinglian's magical attack took advantage of the situation and brazenly broke into Liu Changwen's mind and consciousness!

In an instant, it seemed as if thousands of golden Buddha statues appeared in Liu Changwen's mind at the same time, solemn and majestic, yet carrying a suffocating sense of oppression.

When the university president forcibly broke free from the illusion of the Buddhist chanting, his head had already flown high into the air!

In the split second between being struck by the vajra and trapped by the illusion of the chanting, the temple guardian Vajra facing him head-on seized the fleeting opportunity to kill without hesitation. With a hand chop, he tore through his protective aura and ruthlessly slashed his neck.

The president of Baisha University, who had fought alongside Li Fei, died on the battlefield!

After succeeding, Jinglian immediately moved on to the next battlefield.

All he needs to do is lead the top experts of the Western Kingdom to wipe out the top experts of the Great Blue Dynasty, and then help the monk soldiers on another battlefield defeat the imperial army of the Great Blue Dynasty. Then he can bring a dozen or so top combatants to join the peak battlefield!
With so many top-tier combatants combined, they are already enough to temporarily hold off a peak-level combatant.

"Perhaps I am the key to victory or defeat in this battle!"

Jinglian couldn't help but think this way.

Then Taiyu arrived.

He stood on the outer edge of the Heaven and Earth Reversal Five Elements Formation, first looking up at the sky, where he could vaguely see the battle taking place through the formation.

Looking down at the battlefield below, he saw the Great Blue Dynasty's Imperial Guard on the verge of collapse and the Great Blue Dynasty's powerful warriors at a disadvantage.

Suddenly, the multicolored light in front of him dispersed, and Taiyu could clearly see the battle situation within the great formation.

He saw Ning Qingman in grave danger under the demonic spear, and saw Li Fei being suppressed by the combined forces of Zhenhe Tianwang and Xuanxin Zhenjun.
This was something that True Lord Xuanxin intentionally let Taiyu see, because the scales of victory had already tipped in their favor, and once Taiyu saw it clearly, he could easily make a judgment.

"Taiyu——"

The voice of the River-Suppressing Heavenly King emanated from within the formation, deep and resonant, echoing throughout the entire battlefield.

He made no attempt to conceal what he was about to say:
"You've already seen it. Now all we need to do is have you join us in killing Li Fei, and then the world will be at peace!"

Taiyu remained silent.

He set off earlier than Ning Qingman, and was closer to her location, yet he arrived later, simply because he couldn't be as reckless as Ning Qingman.

He must ensure that he arrives at the battlefield in at least 70% condition, so that no matter what the situation, he has room to protect himself and can withdraw at any time.

Because of too many concerns, Taiyu had to be very careful when making decisions.

Before he came, Li Fei had given Ye Ze'an two sentences inside the gate of the Daluo Sect.

One of the sentences says that if Taiyu had chosen to help the Buddhists, the outcome would have been a close call.

If Taiyu chooses to help the Great Blue Dynasty, then the Great Blue Dynasty will surely win.

But when he arrived, the situation was completely the opposite of what Ye Ze'an had said!

If Taiyu chooses to help the Great Blue Dynasty now, he may not be able to win.

However, if he chooses to join forces with the Buddhists to kill Li Fei, then Li Fei will surely die!

Even if he doesn't take action, just watching, the Great Blue Dynasty will likely lose this decisive battle!

He only needs to wait until Li Fei dies, then work with Xuanxin Zhenjun to stabilize the situation, and the three-way balance of power will be achieved.

"Taiyu!"

A majestic voice rang out from the sky.

It was Qin Ziheng who, with the help of Li Fei's [Jing'an] supernatural power, opened the passage, using the nation's destiny to transmit a message across thousands of miles:

"If you are willing to lend a helping hand today, I, in the name of the Great Blue Sky Emperor, will grant you the position of Imperial Preceptor. From now on, the Great Luo Sect and the Great Blue Dynasty will share weal and woe!"

The price will vary depending on the situation.

When Li Fei went to the Daluo Sect to discuss matters, Qin Ziheng only promised the Daluo Sect a hundred years of peace.

That's because the Blue Dynasty held the advantage at that time, and no matter how you looked at it, it was a sure win in the future.

But now Li Fei is in grave danger, his life hanging by a thread, so Qin Ziheng publicly promised him the position of Grand Preceptor of Taiyu.

Whether it brings a century of peace or the position of Imperial Advisor.

Ultimately, it couldn't solve the problem at its root.

Trust issues.

The trust between Li Fei and Emperor Hongguang was built through repeated appointments and astonishing achievements.

Even so, if it weren't for the letter left by Emperor Hongguang, and if the Great Blue Dynasty hadn't faced a desperate situation and had to rely on Li Fei, the trust between the emperor and his ministers would hardly be as deep as it is now.

The human heart is always the most unfathomable thing.

Throughout history, monarchs have been both the most committed to their promises and the least committed to them. There are a million ways to break a promise.

What position of Imperial Preceptor? When the Great Blue Kingdom was first established and needed to rely on Taoism, the leaders of the three Taoist sects almost took turns serving as the Imperial Preceptor of the Great Blue Kingdom.

When the Great Lan Emperor ascended the throne, he also promised that the Daoist school would share the glory and disgrace of the Great Lan Dynasty.

But what has become of Taoism today?

There was trust between the Taoists and the Great Blue Dynasty, but later there was more suspicion, wariness, and even hatred!

It is difficult to rebuild trust between the two sides with just the position of imperial advisor and a promise.

"Taiyu!"

After Da Lantianzi finished making his promise, the voice of Zhenhe Tianwang rang out again, this time also uttering only one sentence:

"Do you want to grovel before the Great Blue Dynasty in the future and wait for others to decide the fate of the Great Luo Sect, or do you want to take your own destiny into your own hands?"

At the same time, True Lord Xuanxin secretly transmitted his voice to Taiyu:
"Brother Taiyu, if we kill Li Fei now, we can stabilize the situation by joining forces. From now on, the world will be divided into three!"

The Buddhist path has exhausted its potential, and the Great Blue Dynasty has lost Li Fei, while our Daoist school still has at least two members with the opportunity to break through to the pinnacle within ten years. The future will be a time of great prosperity for our Daoist school. Qingxu failed to establish a Daoist kingdom, but we may very well succeed!

Taiyu's eyes shifted.

Just then, Qingding, who was attached to him, suddenly sensed that someone was communicating with him through the 'dream world' via subconscious.

At this time and in this place, only one person can do such a thing.

"Uncle Master."

Qingding communicated with Taiyu using his mind and spirit.

"What's the matter?"

“Li Fei just sent me a message in the Dream Realm, asking me to tell you that there is a Dao Principle preserved in the palace of the Great Blue Dynasty. It is the [Forgetful River] of the Styx Ancestor. If you are willing to help, he promised to hand over the [Forgetful River] Dao Principle to the Great Luo Sect afterwards.”

"what?"

Taiyu didn't quite understand for a moment.

What do you mean by having a copy of the Dao principles within the palace? Besides, even the Styx Ancestor is dead, so how could the Dao principles of the [Forgetful River] still be preserved?

The communication within the spiritual realm was extremely rapid, and Qingding explained the matter to Taiyu in an instant.

He and Li Fei had made a vow that he could not reveal a single word about this matter.

But just now, Li Fei took the initiative to break the oath between him and Li Fei through the 'Dream Realm', so he can now tell him everything.

"So this is the trump card of the Great Blue Dynasty."

Taiyu understood.

He formed an alliance with a ninth-grade beast using the Dao principle of the [Forgetful River]. However, for some reason, the ninth-grade beast has stopped helping the Great Blue Dynasty and seems to no longer care about Li Fei's life or death.

"Li Fei made it very clear that he also doesn't know how to use this Dao Principle to directly break through to the top. The relevant secret techniques are held by a ninth-grade exotic beast. However, he promised you that after this battle, even if he goes to the Abyss again, he will get the relevant secret techniques back!"

Qingding continued.

When Taiyu heard this, he thought it made perfect sense.

If the Great Blue Dynasty has already mastered how to use this Dao principle, it can directly use it on its own people; there is no need to keep it.

As for the authenticity of the Dao principles of the [Forgetful River], Taiyu also believed that Qingding would not deceive him.

A set of principles is far more valuable than the emperor's promise; it represents tangible benefits!
Even if you're unsure how to use this Dao Principle to break through to the top, you know without a doubt that having the Dao Principle beforehand will make it much easier than trying to break through without it!
The only question is whether Taiyu is willing to believe that after this battle, Li Fei will really hand over the [Forgetful River] to the Great Luo Sect and will really try to obtain the related secret techniques?

Compared to the Emperor's promise, is Li Fei's promise trustworthy?
In their minds, Taiyu and Qingding stood facing each other.

Qingding manifested its true form in Taiyu's mental world, but it no longer looked like the former number one alchemist in the world, and its brows were full of fatigue.

"Finally, Li Fei also said that he only needs your help to stabilize the situation, and he still has a trump card to turn the tide!"

Qingding said.

"Are there any trump cards?"

Taiyu looked at Qingding, "You've already made your choice, haven't you?"

If Qingding is more inclined to help the Buddhists kill Li Fei and divide the world into three, then he doesn't need to pay any attention to Li Fei contacting him through his subconscious.

Since Li Fei poses no threat to his life now, he can completely choose not to inform Taiyu about the Dao principles of the [Forgetful River].

However, he chose to tell the truth, and although he did not add any of his own attitude or persuasion, he had already made his stance clear.

"Uncle Master."

Qingding opened his mouth.

He was much younger than Taiyu, but in the realm of the mind, he looked more like an old man standing in front of Taiyu.

"It's okay, tell me your opinion."

Taiyu looked at him calmly.

Qingding pursed his lips, hesitated for a moment, and slowly said:

"Uncle-Master, I only hope that the disciples of the Great Luo Sect can have a stable future."

These words caused a slight tremor in Taiyu's calm mind.

He had met Qing Ding, who was once full of vigor and ambition, just like Qing Xu.

The reason why Qingding chose to cooperate with Qingxu and help him refine fake pills and steal the emperor's dragon energy was because, like Qingxu, he also wanted to establish a Dao Kingdom on earth and wanted to see Qingxu Zhenjun break through to the peak and see the Daoist school become unparalleled in the world!
But now, Qingding tells Taiyu that he only hopes that the disciples of the Daluo Sect will live peacefully in the future.

Without experiencing Qingding's life, it's difficult to understand his change of heart.

From a promising top alchemist to a wisp of a soul, barely clinging to life.

Qingding witnessed Qingxu's failure, the deaths of many close fellow disciples in that upheaval, and the decline of the Daluo Sect from its glorious status as a leader of Taoism to its current state of complete isolation.

These experiences changed Qingding's mindset.

Over the years, he has followed Li Fei's side, doing his best to play his part, just to help the Great Luo Sect preserve some of its legacy.

Because he felt guilty towards his fellow disciples in the Great Luo Sect, he felt that it was the bitter fruit he and Qingxu had sown from the beginning that led to the changes in the Great Luo Sect and caused the deaths of many people.

Therefore, now it is time for the Great Luo Sect to make a choice again, and Qing Ding has made a choice completely opposite to that of the past—

This time, he chose stability over risk.

"I see."

Taiyu looked at the aged-looking Qingding in front of him and murmured.

The world is divided into three kingdoms, a tripartite balance of power—this is indeed a future full of possibilities.

But this also means that the war will not end. For the next few decades, or even hundreds of years, the Great Luo Sect must be ready to fight at any time!

Because what is divided for a long time must unite, neither the Buddhist sect nor the Great Blue Dynasty would be willing to stop here.

Just now, True Lord Xuanxin said to Taiyu that just because Qingxu couldn't establish a Dao Kingdom on Earth doesn't mean they can't.

Taiyu saw in this Shangqing Sect leader an ambition no less than Qingxu's!
However, the success of one general is built on the bones of ten thousand.

Back then, Qingxu sacrificed hundreds of thousands of people in Ming Province!
If Taiyu continues to walk with Xuanxin Zhenjun, will he also have to sacrifice hundreds of thousands, or even more, of the people in the future?

Over the years, although the Daluo Sect has been closed off from the mountains, Taiyu has been secretly using the resources of the Daluo Sect to compensate the families of the victims in Ming Province.

Many of these people were sacrificed as a whole family, and Taiyu couldn't find anyone to offer compensation to. He could only stay in the mountains, filled with guilt, and dared not come down.
The exchange in the realm of the mind came to an end quickly.

Everyone saw Taiyu remain silent in the air for a moment, and then make a move—

He stepped forward and entered the Five Elements Reversal Formation.

Xuanxin Zhenjun did not stop him, allowing him to approach the main battlefield.

But just as he was about to reach the area where Zhenhe Tianwang and Li Fei were fighting, a burst of multicolored light blocked his way.

"Brother Daoist, kill Ning Qingman first!"

Xuanxin Zhenjun suddenly transmitted his voice, "Since you have decided to kill Li Fei, Ning Qingman will become a major threat in the future if she is not eliminated."

He was still unsure of Taiyu's thoughts, and dared not easily let him participate in the most crucial battle before the other party had made a clear statement.

Therefore, Taiyu was instructed to kill Ning Qingman first to demonstrate his stance.

Taiyu glanced at Ning Qingman, whose blue robes were stained with blood, then turned his head and threw a punch, shattering the multicolored light blocking his way!
"Taiyu?!"

歘——

The sun blazed across the sky, shattering the distorted air and violent energy, and crashed into the giant Buddha's palm in the air!

Layer upon layer of multicolored light, like mountains, blocked the 'Great Sun' before being shattered one by one.

Xuanxin Zhenjun was prepared and managed to barely block Taiyu's attack.

"Why?!"

He was furious and utterly bewildered.

With victory seemingly within reach, why did Taiyu choose to help the Great Blue Dynasty?

"Qingxu once asked me why I refused to help him."

Taiyu raised his right arm, and intense flames gathered in his palm.

He threw a punch forward, and the [Great Sun Soaring to the Heavens] technique allowed his power to surpass the 'Heaven and Earth' before him!
As the fist was thrown, the light shattered like glass, the space was torn apart, and a pitch-black 'passage' appeared, pointing straight towards the Buddha's palm!
"Perhaps it's because I've never had the same ambitions as you."

As Taiyu finished speaking, the giant Buddha's palm caved inward.

Despite the full force of Xuanxin Zhenjun's obstruction, Zhenhe Tianwang finally managed to stabilize his [Great Thousand Seal], preventing Li Fei from escaping.

"Foolish! Cowardly! You dare call yourself the pinnacle?!"

Enraged, the Heavenly King of Zhenhe had no choice but to reduce his pressure on Li Fei and divert some of his power to control the Martial Dao River and attack Taiyu.

Faced with the questions and insults from the River-Suppressing Heavenly King, Taiyu did not refute or explain.

People like Qingxu only care about achieving their own goals and don't care how many bones lie beneath their feet on the way to the top.

But Taiyu could not do it.

That's why he didn't choose to help Qingxu back then, but instead kept trying to stop her.

Because he couldn't accept that if he failed, everyone in the Great Luo Sect would be buried with him!
It's the same now.

Choosing to divide the world into three factions with Buddhism means that the Great Luo Sect will inevitably be tied to the war machine in the future, and will have to compete with Buddhism and the Great Blue Dynasty for victory.

In this process, countless people will die!
If the Great Blue Dynasty could truly unify the world and end the war...

With Qin Ziheng's promise and the friendship between Qingding and Li Fei, even if something unexpected happens in the future, Taiyu might be 'eliminated,' but at least the vast majority of people in the Daluo Sect can live well.

Of course, this is only the worst-case scenario.

If it were only for this reason, Taiyu would not have helped the Great Blue Dynasty.

The existence of the Qingding Cauldron, along with Li Fei's promise of the [Forgetful River] Dao Principle, were the key factors that truly moved him!

Qingxu's rebellion depleted 80% of the fortune that the Great Luo Sect had accumulated over eight hundred years.

The remaining 20% ​​was used by Taiyu to help Qingwei break through to the next realm.

The Great Luo Sect's fortunes are almost completely gone, and its future is destined to be fraught with difficulties.

If Qingwei can break through to the top and then, along with the Dao of the River of Oblivion, another person can reach the top.

With the addition of two new peak-level experts, the Great Luo Sect will gather new fortune and usher in a new era!

Taiyu himself can live for another hundred years or so. At that time, the Daluo Sect will have three peak experts, which will not only be enough to protect itself, but also to look forward to a more glorious future!
Of course, all of this is based on the premise that Li Fei does not die today and will keep his promise in the future.

Along the way, Li Fei's true character had already been revealed through his numerous world-shaking deeds—

Tancheng.

Despite having only met Ning Qingman a few times, he was willing to withstand the heavenly tribulation for her and face the siege of two great demons.

Emerald Green City.

Knowing it was a trap, they still willingly stepped into it for the sake of the people of that city.

Li Fei and Qingxu are completely different people.

Therefore, Taiyu was willing to believe the other party's promise!

Ye Ze'an's plans were meticulous and detailed, demonstrating his wisdom in securing peace and stability for the world.

Li Fei's "strategy" is the result of his unwavering commitment and clear conscience in making every major decision over the years, and the courage to act without regret.

His 'strategy' lays the key in people's hearts!

It was only after the two 'plans' combined that Taiyu finally made up his mind.

Boom——

This time, the golden river failed to engulf the 'Great Sun'; instead, it was torn apart by the overwhelming power!
With the task of suppressing both the Qing Shuang Army and Li Fei, and then diverting his forces to deal with Tai Yu, the Heavenly King of Zhenhe was naturally overwhelmed.

Xuanxin Zhenjun had no choice but to abandon the idea of ​​using the great formation to cut off Li Fei's absorption of the world's energy and instead adjust his power to stop Taiyu.

Otherwise, once Taiyu breaks the Great Thousand Seal and Li Fei escapes, he will have the opportunity to reunite with Ning Qingman, which will create new variables.

The "unity of man and sword" between Li Fei and "Sword Immortal" Ning Qingman is no longer a secret; all the strong in the world know that the two have such a "combination technique".

Therefore, ever since Ning Qingman arrived, neither Zhenhe Tianwang nor Xuanxin Zhenjun dared to relax their suppression of Li Fei.

Without the obstruction of Xuanxin Zhenjun, Li Fei successfully absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and the national fortune that had been bestowed upon him was used again to strengthen his defense.

In addition, the Heavenly King of Zhenhe also diverted some of his power, so Li Fei finally stopped 'bleeding'. The blood soul restored by [Blood Breath] and [Blood Spring] exceeded the blood soul consumed.

However, he did not choose to take the opportunity to restore his 'health bar'.

The upper limit of 'Ultimate Sword State' lies in the limits that [Blood Rage] and [Sword Sacrifice] can reach.

Li Fei's speed in actively absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth has reached its limit, and the upper limit of [Blood Rage] has also been reached.

He's now raising the cap of [Sword Sacrifice]—

He directly 'reset' the blood souls within the Ten Thousand Blood Pearls, keeping only about 1000 blood souls in the Blood Spring.

Such a choice is like walking a tightrope; if Zhenhe Tianwang and Xuanxin Zhenjun suddenly launch a counterattack, he could be killed on the spot!
However, Li Fei still unhesitatingly poured all the blood souls restored by [Blood Breath] and [Blood Spring] into [Sword Sacrifice].

The 'Ultimate Sword State' has reached an unprecedented limit!
Moreover, after such a long period of 'tempering,' enduring the constant high-intensity pressure from the third strongest in the world without 'collapsed,' the upper limit of 'turning the tide' has also been raised to a whole new level—

The dark golden sword peak erupted with an incomparably sharp sword intent, and the sword peak trembled violently, like an unparalleled divine sword that could not be restrained and was about to be unsheathed!
But Li Fei didn't rush to switch from defense to offense; he remained focused on turning the tide.

On the other side, Buddha-Eye Heavenly King, who was suppressing the White Flame Army, sighed.

A star suddenly lit up within his body, then collapsed, and a vast power surged out from within the Buddha-Eye Heavenly King.

[Selfless Sacrifice]!
Having once again abandoned a supernatural power, Buddha-Eye Heavenly King was on the verge of falling from grace.

A colossal Buddha statue appeared behind him, its outstretched hand supporting him. A third eye appeared on its forehead, radiating boundless light.

The Buddha's light, like an invisible chain, tightly bound the white flame dragon, while also shining towards Taiyu.

Compared to the intense light emanating from Taiyu, the light emanating from the Buddha's eyes was much softer and dimmer.

However, the Buddha's light shining on Taiyu effectively reduced the opponent's momentum and strength.

Taiyu was simultaneously facing the obstruction of three supreme beings: Zhenhe Tianwang, Xuanxin Zhenjun, and Fomu Tianwang.

"Taiyu, you should know that my [Sacrifice] can still be used. Don't force me to perish together with you!"

Buddha-Eye Heavenly King transmitted his voice to Taiyu.

Taiyu remained silent, but continued to throw punches.

He knew that Buddha-Eye Heavenly King's "self-sacrifice" was his last trump card, and he had clearly sensed that the opponent's realm was unstable.

If I continue to use [Sacrifice], I will definitely fall in cultivation level afterward, and it will be almost impossible to recover my cultivation level.

The Buddhist community will lose a top figure!
In that case, even if they succeeded in killing Li Fei today, it would still be a loss for the Buddhist sect. Even if the world were divided into three parts in the future, the Buddhist sect would have little chance of winning.

Therefore, Taiyu did not think that Buddha-Eye Heavenly King would easily reach this point.

However, the opponent's threat is also real, because once the opponent is forced to continue using [Sacrifice], they will probably not hold back anymore and will directly abandon all the remaining supernatural powers!
Because Buddhism doesn't lack a great master, what it needs is a hopeful future.

Once Buddha-Eye Heavenly King decides to sacrifice himself, he will definitely do his best to "exchange favors" for Buddhism!
"Taiyu, turn back before it's too late—"

"Brother Dao, what benefits did the Great Blue Dynasty promise you? Tell us, and we can discuss it further."

"Taiyu, if you don't stop now, I will make you regret it for the rest of your life!"

The three top experts were all frantically communicating with Taiyu.

Persuasion, coercion, and enticement.

However, Taiyu remained silent throughout, only continuously urging the Great Sun Soaring into the Sky.

At the most critical moment of life and death, this leader of the Great Luo Sect became the most steadfast ally of the Great Blue Dynasty!
Taiyu knew that if things continued like this, Buddha Eye Heavenly King would definitely not be afraid of death, as the other party had the determination and courage to sacrifice himself for Buddhism!

His actions now are simply doing what Li Fei asked him to do—to stall for time as much as possible.

Li Fei said he still had a trump card to turn things around, and Taiyu chose to believe him.

Xuanmo Kingdom.

Xuanji City.

Wang Chengze called a halt to the attack the moment Li Tianyu led his army to attack, and then surrendered the city!
He didn't know what the situation was like in the Western Kingdom; he only saw in Li Tianyu a determination to fight to the death.

The enemy is absolutely determined to die as they attack the city today!
The Wang family couldn't afford the consequences of Li Tianyu dying here, so Wang Chengze had no other choice.

The true ruler of the Wang family was calmer than anyone else; otherwise, he wouldn't have chosen to rebel immediately after Li Fei won the battle of Cuiqing City, and wouldn't have taken the initiative to express his submission to the Great Blue Dynasty at the first opportunity.

He saw this earlier than many others—

As long as Li Fei is in the Great Blue Dynasty, the future of the Xuanmo Kingdom is destined to be one of conquest.

The royal family, representing the Xuanmo Kingdom, surrendered the city!
"To the palace, quickly—"

After leading his troops into the city, Li Tianyu didn't waste a single second and rushed towards the Xuanmo Kingdom's palace at top speed.

She then ordered Wang Chengze to summon the remaining civil and military officials of Xuanmo Kingdom to hold a surrender ceremony in a square in the palace.

The ceremony was also very simple—

Li Tianyu publicly read out the imperial edict, appointing Wang Chengze as the ruler of Xuanmo Kingdom. From then on, Xuanmo Kingdom became a vassal state of the Great Blue Dynasty, and all future rulers of the kingdom must be appointed by the Great Blue Emperor!
The Great Blue Dynasty will station troops in the Xuanmo Kingdom, and some important positions in the Xuanmo Kingdom will be held by officials from the Great Blue Dynasty.

Dozens of the younger generation of the Wang family need to go to Lanling City and settle there there.

During the reading of the imperial edict, the ministers of Xuanmo Kingdom, as well as many members of the royal family, changed color several times, almost standing up to voice their opposition.

But they were all suppressed by Wang Chengze with the aura of a grandmaster and warned with stern eyes!

"King Xuanmo, step forward to receive the imperial decree!"

On the makeshift platform, Li Tianyu spoke loudly.

The former ruler of Xuanmo Kingdom could call himself emperor.

But now, the ruler of Xuanmo Kingdom has been demoted to the King of Xuanmo.

Wang Chengze, the top Grandmaster on the Heavenly Ranking, had no choice but to lower his head and accept the imperial edict from Li Tianyu, a Foundation Establishment stage martial artist.

"Xiao Wang, obey the decree!"

hum-

When Wang Chengze received the imperial edict issued by the Heavenly Emperor, a strange change seemed to occur between heaven and earth.

Something is being drawn away from this place, seemingly out of nowhere.

Li Tianyu looked up at the sky and bit her lip.

She knew that this was the national destiny of the Xuanmo Kingdom, and a part of it was beginning to merge into the national destiny of the Dalan Dynasty!
This matter should have been done by Li Fei himself, as that would have been most beneficial to his path to enlightenment.

But now only Li Tianyu can lead the Barbarian Slayer Army to accomplish this.

The Barbarian Slayer Army was Li Fei's army, and Li Tianyu was able to successfully force Wang Chengze to surrender mainly because of the deterrent effect brought by Li Fei.

Therefore, the credit for the complete conquest of Xuanmo Kingdom can also be attributed to Li Fei.

However, the effect would certainly not be as good as if Li Fei did it himself.

"Hopefully we can make it in time."

Li Tianyu silently recited in his heart.

Xuanji City was once the capital of the Great Desert Empire. Conquering it would be more symbolically significant than conquering Chishen City, which is why she chose to lead her troops here.

But she didn't know if things would go as smoothly in Crimson God City as they did on her side.
At the same time, in the Crimson City.

A barbarian army and a group of powerful soldiers from the southern border have begun their siege of the city, but the Yuwen family within Crimson God City shows no sign of changing their stance.

The city's protective formation was activated, firmly blocking all attacks.

With this small force, even if these people fought for a year, they would not be able to break through the Crimson God City.

"Li Fei, what are you still resisting for?"

"Buddha-Eyed Heavenly King still has the [Sacrifice] ability to use, Taiyu can't possibly save you!"

“As soon as you die, I will immediately turn my attention to the Buddhist sect and join forces with Taiyu to stabilize the situation. That way, Ning Qingman will not die, and Wenren Zheng will be safe.”

"Can't you see that Ning Qingman is about to be killed by the demonic spear? She's in this situation to save you, and you're just going to watch her die?"

“Wenren Zheng was already injured, and now that Jingheng has returned to his peak, he is trapped inside the formation and is in equally dangerous condition.”

"And what about the Azure Frost Army? How many casualties have they suffered so far in their efforts to hold off the River-Suppressing Heavenly King for you?"

"The Imperial Guards outside and those from the Great Blue Dynasty also suffered heavy casualties!"

"Li Fei, as long as you die, this battle can end, and many people can live!"

"Give up, stop this pointless resistance!"

The voice of True Lord Xuanxin echoed in Li Fei's ears.

While persuading Taiyu, he also tried to win over Li Fei's heart.

Li Fei remained silent throughout.

When I was pondering my path to enlightenment, the path of bringing peace and stability to the world was the safest and most likely to succeed.

However, Li Fei actually had many other options, such as proving the Dao through force or through fortune.

Pursuing the path of enlightenment solely for the purpose of bringing peace and stability to the world does not align with his desires.

After ascending to the Heavenly Tower and restoring his foundation, Li Fei witnessed Lin Tianyi's Dao of the Unity of Law and Martial Arts. Inspired, he decided on his own path to enlightenment.

He wants to take the path of bringing peace and stability to the world, but he will not simply prove his path through power.

This will be an unprecedented, unique, and destined-to-be-difficult path to enlightenment!
From the moment he successfully signed the Alliance of the Wild Gods and completely conquered the Northern Barbarians, he officially embarked on his path to enlightenment.

Once this step is taken, there is no turning back!
So even though the Qing Shuang Army suffered heavy casualties, and even though Ning Qingman was ambushed by the Demon Spear and was in danger, Li Fei could only watch helplessly.

He could only wait for 'feedback' from the two great desert kingdoms before he could begin his path to enlightenment.

Otherwise, if he were to change course, he would have no way to attain enlightenment and would be powerless to change anything.

Finally, Qin Ziheng's voice came through the national destiny:

"Li Fei, the Xuanmo Kingdom has completely submitted, but the Chimo Kingdom has not yet responded."

"enough."

"You want to force yourself to begin proving your path?"

"Correct."

"Your failure to personally go to the two great desert kingdoms to complete the conquest already lowers the success rate. Now that only one of the two great desert kingdoms has been conquered, the success rate of proving the Dao is even lower. Let's wait a little longer!"

Qin Ziheng's voice was very anxious.

He was genuinely afraid that Li Fei would act impulsively. After all, Tai Yu had intervened to hold the situation in check, so they could wait a little longer.

But Li Fei did not respond; he made his choice directly.

If Qin Ziheng's life was like walking on thin ice, then Li Fei's life was about doing things he knew were impossible!
There are always things that are more important than life and death, and even a million people cannot stop them!

The dark golden sword peak, which had been trembling violently, suddenly shattered, transforming into endless sword light that soared into the sky.

Knowing full well that the path to enlightenment is incredibly difficult, he still insists on proving it despite insufficient conditions!
Li Fei took a step forward, and his aura began to rise.

What is there to fear in death?!
The Buddha's palm, which had been pressing down on Li Fei's head, was forced upward by the unparalleled sword intent, and the '卍' character on the palm was covered with cracks.

The Heavenly King of Zhenhe suddenly turned to look at Li Fei, about to withdraw his power and suppress him again.

But a blazing sun, exuding an invincible aura, hurtled toward him!

Seeing that Li Fei was finally about to reveal his trump card, Tai Yu also stopped holding back and unleashed his full power!
The Heavenly King of Zhenhe had no choice but to turn back to defend. If he were seriously injured, the Buddhists would be unable to fight this battle.

boom--! ! !
The Buddha's palm in the sky was pierced by the sword light, creating a large hole, and then it collapsed completely.

Li Fei rose from the ground, passed through the Buddha's palm, and arrived in the air.

Within the flying sword, the seven supernatural powers began their final fusion.

The initial fusion of supernatural powers formed Li Fei's Hunyuan Sword Domain.

After establishing his Dao in Emerald Green City, the seven supernatural powers were further integrated to form the Primordial Sword Body.

Now that Li Fei has begun to prove his Dao, his seven supernatural powers have completely merged together, forming a unified whole.

this is--

The Way!

Outside Vajra City, the earth trembled violently, as if a dragon were turning over. Above the sky, a sea of ​​clouds fell, and the clouds of the nine heavens hung low!

Between heaven and earth, a vast and powerful aura converged here and surged into Li Fei's body.

With the influx of fortune, the flying sword's body underwent another transformation.

This is the fourth transformation!
Lin Tianyi is the first person in history to successfully integrate magic and martial arts. He condensed the Dao principles by combining magical and martial arts supernatural powers, opening up a completely new path for the cultivation world.

Now, Li Fei has become the second person to integrate magical techniques and martial arts into a Dao principle!

Moreover, he attained enlightenment with seven supernatural powers, one more than Lin Tianyi's six.

In addition to his unprecedented flying sword physique, he has actually opened up a new path on the basis of Lin Tianyi's path of combining magic and martial arts!
Therefore, by combining martial arts and magic to prove his Dao, Li Fei gained even more blessings from the heavens.

"How could it be so fast?!"

The True Lord Xuanxin, who was hiding in the shadows, showed a look of shock.

He didn't even have time to activate the Heaven and Earth Reversal Five Elements Formation to disturb Li Fei.

Even if Li Fei were to break through to the next realm on the spot, this speed is simply too fast!

For a thousand years, no top expert has ever attained enlightenment so quickly.

The moment the first foot was stepped out, the Dao principles were formed in the next second?
"wrong."

The Heavenly King Zhenhe, whose strength was even higher, sensed something was amiss.

In the air, Li Fei had already vanished into the void, disappearing from everyone's sight.

Just as Tian Youpeng, the 'Demon Spear' who was thrusting his spear at Ning Qingman, suddenly sensed something was wrong and immediately withdrew his spear to defend.

In the void, a hand as smooth as jade reached out and caught Tian Youpeng's spear held horizontally in front of his chest.

hum-

The magic spear vibrated violently, and Tian Youpeng's tiger's mouth split open.

Li Fei's attack was too fast; before he had even fully emerged from the void, the attack had already arrived!
Tian Youpeng looked up and saw Li Fei's eyes appearing from the void.

His mind jolted, and he realized that a blood-red giant sword, bathed in moonlight, was already slashing towards him!

With a muffled groan, he abandoned his demonic spear without hesitation, released his grip, and stepped back into the void.

Even though he was just a hair's breadth away from killing Ning Qingman, Tian Youpeng chose to give up without hesitation.

Because he sensed the long-lost aura of death emanating from Li Fei!
In the void, just as Tian Youpeng was about to flee, a bright moon suddenly appeared above his head.

"Where did the bright moon come from in the void?"

The thought had barely formed when the moonlight began to fall upon Tian Youpeng.

Immediately afterwards, he felt the space around him freeze, filled with a sense of eternity and unchanging nature.

The power of the mind was transformed into a tangible force by the [Eternal Stabilization] supernatural power, becoming a real 'barrier' in the void!
Tian Youpeng stretched out his right hand, using his arm as a spear, and thrust it forward, fully activating the [Boundless Killing Path] to shatter this solidified space.

Snapped!
His fist slammed into Li Fei's chest.

Li Fei stepped in front of him to block the attack.

A murderous intent flashed in Tian Youpeng's eyes. He did not back down or change his moves, but continued to punch, intending to ignore Li Fei's defense and directly shatter his heart and pierce through his body!
This punch shattered Li Fei's golden jade scale armor, but that was all. The fist stopped in front of Li Fei's chest, and it didn't even break through the skin on his body.

Tian Youpeng opened his eyes wide.

For some reason, he felt that his [Infernal Killing Path] had been inexplicably weakened by a large margin!

He ultimately failed to ignore Li Fei's Hunyuan Sword Body defense.

"You seemed to be having a lot of fun just now."

Li Fei remained expressionless as Asada Yuto threw a punch.

A sea of ​​vital energy has gathered around us!
The [Chaos Golden Palace] can only be used in the real world and cannot quickly absorb energy in the void. However, at this moment, it is perfectly integrated with the [Distanceless] divine power, allowing the energy of heaven and earth in the real world to directly travel through the void.

The next instant, the sea of ​​primordial energy surrounding Li Fei and Tian Youpeng boiled over completely, as if it had been ignited, evaporated, and transformed into unparalleled power, madly crushing towards Tian Youpeng!

The [Sword Sacrifice] divine power could originally only be activated with life force, but now, with its perfect fusion with [Golden Palace of Chaos], it can 'refine' the primordial energy of heaven and earth!
Tian Youpeng attempted to retreat, but the overwhelming force blocked his escape route.

He had to raise his left arm to shield himself.

Snapped!
Li Fei's right fist smashed Tian Youpeng's arm with tremendous force, splattering blood and flesh and breaking bones.

The fist, carrying an incomparably dazzling light, pierced straight through Tian Youpeng's body!

Tian Youpeng's eyes widened in fury as he unleashed a furious outburst. His remaining right arm was enveloped in purple flames, and he lunged at Li Fei's head like a demonic dragon.

But just like before, this attack still failed to ignore the defense of the Hunyuan Sword Body and was blocked by Li Fei.

"you"

Tian Youpeng's eyes were filled with resentment, doubt, and despair.

Li Fei met his gaze with icy eyes, then strode forward, his movements as sharp as a sword cutting through the air.

Tian Youpeng's body was torn to pieces, leaving only his head; the rest of his body turned into a bloody mist!
Li Fei reached out and grabbed Tian Youpeng's head.

The Demon Spear has fallen!
Lin Tianyi's fusion of magic and martial arts is a perfect balance and mutual transformation between magic and martial arts.

Li Fei's combination of magic and martial arts cannot achieve perfect balance, but it can achieve a seamless integration, with each element merging with the other.

Therefore, after proving the Dao through the unity of magic and martial arts, the 'boundaries' of the seven supernatural powers were completely broken, resulting in many more combinations and variations!

However, this was not the key to Li Fei's victory.

He still has very little blood soul in his body. If Tian Youpeng's [Boundless Killing Path] can take effect and fight him head-on, directly affecting the Myriad Blood Beads and depleting his blood soul, he will actually be in great danger!
The real turning point was that Tian Youpeng unleashed his full power twice with the [Boundless Killing Path], but neither time could he ignore Li Fei's defense.

Li Fei carried Tian Youpeng's head away from the void with one hand.

Inside the Heaven and Earth Reversed Five Elements Formation, everyone was closely watching Li Fei's movements.

Less than three seconds passed between him entering the void and reappearing.

He now has another severed head in his hand.

"The Demon Spear is dead?!"

"how is this possible?"

"It must have been that ninth-grade beast in the void that helped him!"

Zhenhe Tianwang, Fomu Tianwang, and Xuanxin Zhenjun quickly exchanged ideas, none of them believing that Li Fei could kill Tian Youpeng in such a short time.

The opponent has completed the Dao principles, and his combat strength is at least on par with Qin Mingli.

Even if the Heavenly King of Zhenhe were to kill it, he wouldn't be able to kill the Demon Spear so quickly.

"His Dao principles are not fully formed yet, hurry up and kill him!"

King Zhenhe suddenly said angrily.

He finally realized something was wrong—

Each top expert's Dao principles are unique, possessing a distinctive aura.

However, although Li Fei had clearly condensed the Dao principles, he only possessed the magnificent aura of the Great Dao, without any other special aura.

This shows that his enlightenment was not yet complete, and the principles of the Dao have not yet been fully formed!

"Amitabha--"

Buddha-Eye Heavenly King let out a long sigh, a sigh that seemed to contain endless compassion, yet also carried the resolute determination to sever all ties.

Without further hesitation, he slowly brought his hands together in front of his chest, his knuckles seemingly bearing a thousand pounds of weight, each movement as solemn as a mountain about to collapse.
"If I don't go to hell, who will?"

The moment he finished speaking, his aura suddenly changed dramatically!
Once the thought of self-sacrifice arises, there is no turning back.

All the supernatural powers, vast Buddhist power, and even the foundation of his golden body that he cultivated were completely relinquished and transformed into the purest and most thorough power!
Behind him, the magnificent Buddha statue, which was originally solemn and radiant, was struck as if by an invisible giant hammer, instantly covered with countless cracks, and finally turned into golden light spots that scattered and flew away.

A tremendous aura, far surpassing anything before, erupted from the body of the Buddha-Eye Heavenly King, which had already "sacrificed" itself!
Boundless Buddha light soared into the sky, pure, vast, and blazing, as if a sun was being born within him, its light illuminating the earth!
Almost at the same time that Buddha-Eye Heavenly King used his [Self-Sacrifice] technique without reservation, another vast surge of fortune gathered and flowed into Li Fei's body.

"Li Fei."

Ning Qingman, covered in blood, flew to Li Fei's side, reached out her hand to him, and wanted to perform the "Man and Sword as One" technique again.

But Li Fei just smiled and shook his head:
"From now on, you don't need to protect me anymore. I will protect you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Hunyuan Sword Body shone brightly, no less than the Buddha-Eyed Heavenly King with his boundless Buddha light!

Previously, Li Fei had killed the demon Li Ming in Cuiqing City. Li Ming was the first peak expert to die at his hands, but Ning Qingman helped him in that battle.

Moreover, without Ning Qingman's two previous killings of Li Ming as a prelude, Li Fei would not have been able to kill Li Ming in that battle either.

Now, Demon Spear Tian Youpeng is indeed a top-tier expert who died at the hands of Li Fei, and he killed him independently!
The Heavenly King of Zhenhe was right; Li Fei had indeed not yet completed his Dao attainment, and the Dao principles had not been fully condensed.

Therefore, he was a person below the peak level who single-handedly defeated the peak level!

unprecedented!

He reversed the fate of a martial arts master during the Dao Foundation stage.

A martial arts master reversed the fate of a grandmaster.

A Grandmaster is comparable to a top-tier expert.

Compared to these achievements, the Grandmaster's feat of defeating a top-tier expert is undoubtedly the most incredible and the most difficult!

Li Fei tossed Tian Youpeng's head high into the air and shattered it with a single punch.

Prove the Way through force, and once again reach the pinnacle!
To prove one's Dao by combining law and martial arts is both to prove one's Dao with force and to open up a new path by leveraging external forces.

Therefore, this is a way of proving the Dao that combines momentum and force, inspired by the master of the Gouchen Sword.

Li Fei initially chose the path of enlightenment to bring peace and stability to the world, but he did not intend to actually follow this path completely, because he had many other ways to achieve enlightenment.

He began by bringing peace and stability to the world, and after embarking on the path of enlightenment, he would not immediately complete it.

Because the path he chose to bring peace and stability to the world was one of complete conquest—

Not only must we pacify the grasslands, but also the northern barbarians, the two great desert kingdoms, and finally the westernmost kingdom!
After setting his ultimate goal, Li Fei began his path to enlightenment through the principle of bringing peace and stability to the world. The process of enlightenment will not end immediately before the Western Kingdom is destroyed.

He can take advantage of this process to achieve enlightenment through the unity of law and martial arts, and finally finish the job after completely destroying the Western Kingdom.

This is the path to enlightenment that Li Fei has chosen for himself, a path unprecedented in history!
But things have now deviated from his original plan. He has only conquered one of the two great desert kingdoms. To successfully conclude the campaign, Li Fei must do more.

First, one must unite law and martial arts to attain the pinnacle of enlightenment.

Reverse the Demon-Slaying Spear once more, prove the Dao with force, and reach the pinnacle once more!

Li Fei's aura intensified further, but the Dao principles still hadn't fully manifested.

He deliberately attacked the Buddha-Eyed Heavenly King behind him.

The Buddha's light and the sword light clashed across the sky.

Boom——! ! !
The Heaven and Earth Reversal Five Elements Grand Formation was completely torn apart, and True Lord Xuanxin had no choice but to dispel the formation.

In mid-air, Buddha-Eye Heavenly King flew backward.

After sacrificing himself completely, his strength increased dramatically, yet he found himself at a disadvantage!

Li Fei's figure flashed, instantly catching up with the flying Buddha-Eyed Heavenly King. His fist struck like a sword, and a ten-thousand-foot-long sword light engulfed the Buddha-Eyed Heavenly King.

"Sacrifice yourself! Sacrifice yourself! Sacrifice yourself! Is this all the Buddhism knows?"

Li Fei unleashed a flurry of punches at the Buddha-Eyed Heavenly King, transforming his "Ignorance of Heaven's Height" into countless sword techniques.

Buddha-Eye Heavenly King manifested the form of the Thousand-Armed Tathagata to continuously deflect the sword attacks, using the "Myriad Lights Return to Buddha" technique to "transform" Li Fei's sword beams.

However, he encountered the same fate as Yuto Wada—his [All Light Returns to Buddha] was significantly weakened!

"What are you"

"You orchestrated such a grand scheme just to kill me. Ming Qi has already sacrificed himself, and now you will do the same—"

Li Fei's punch completely shattered the Thousand-Armed Tathagata's defenses, slamming heavily into the Buddha-Eyed Heavenly King's face:

"So what? Can you kill me?!"

boom--

Buddha-Eye Heavenly King fell from the sky like a meteorite, crashing heavily into the earth and creating a huge crater, sending dust billowing into the sky.

"How can it be"

Buddha-Eye Heavenly King lay in the pit, golden blood flowing from the corner of his mouth, his eyes glazed over.

Supernatural powers are, after all, powers below the pinnacle. Ming Qi cultivated the path of 'sacrifice oneself to become a Buddha'. After using the [Sacrifice] technique to completely abandon the seven supernatural powers, he greatly increased the success rate of breaking through the realm and was finally able to break through.

Buddha-Eye Heavenly King is already a Martial Saint. Even if he uses [Self-Sacrifice] to give up all his supernatural powers, the power he can obtain will not be ridiculously strong.

After sacrificing himself, his combat strength would probably catch up with that of Taiyu.

This level of improvement is already significant for a top-tier expert, which is why Buddha-Eye Heavenly King was so confident in threatening Taiyu.

However, [All Light Returns to Buddha] failed to achieve its intended effect, and in a direct confrontation, Li Fei's displayed power was simply exaggerated!

It seems that Li Fei was the one who used the self-sacrifice technique, while the one who was ultimately crushed was none other than Buddha-Eye Heavenly King.
In the sky, a ray of brilliant light, like a divine sword, fell straight down, piercing the Buddha-Eyed Heavenly King in the crater.

"Come, kill me—"

Li Fei roared and charged down.

boom--

The Imperial Guards and monks fighting haphazardly on the plains were all thrown off balance by the violent tremors beneath their feet and collapsed in unison.

A giant mushroom cloud rose from the pit where Buddha-Eye Heavenly King was located!
The Heavenly King Zhenhe, who was fighting with Taiyu, couldn't help but turn around to look, his face filled with horror.

He fought Taiyu head-on, but the Qing Shuang Army suffered too many casualties and its combat strength declined. After joining forces with the Bai Yan Army, they were temporarily blocked by Xuanxin Zhenjun with endless formations.

The battle on this side is still undecided, but the battle between Li Fei and Buddha Eye Heavenly King has already been decided.
There was no one left at the bottom of the pit.

The moment Li Fei collided with Buddha-Eye Heavenly King, he tore through space, forcibly slamming the opponent into the void.

A bright moon hung high in the sky, encircling the two of them and creating a 'cage' around them.

The primordial energy of heaven and earth continuously "escaped" from the real world into the void, and was constantly "refined" to transform into an invisible torrent of power.

Li Fei and Buddha-Eye Heavenly King engaged in close combat!

Buddha-Eye Heavenly King was not skilled in the Way of the Void, and his speed in absorbing the primordial energy of heaven and earth was far inferior to that of Li Fei.

Therefore, he is at a significant disadvantage when fighting in the void.

Moreover, he was surprised to discover that Li Fei was not merely utilizing the void—

Li Fei is refining, eroding, and controlling the surrounding void in an inconceivable way!

The phantom images of towering mountains rise from the ground, the outlines of rushing rivers meander and flow, and the illusion of vast jungles spreads out.
Immediately afterwards, the outline of a magnificent city appeared, within which seemed to be the phantoms of billions of human beings living, working, and shouting.

A powerful sense of humanity and the strength of the nation permeated the air!
By combining the [Refining Objects] supernatural power with the [Peace and Tranquility] supernatural power, and with the help of several other supernatural powers, Li Fei is transforming this void into his own 'kingdom'!
Buddha-Eye Heavenly King exerted all his strength to activate [All Lights Return to Buddha], and ten thousand feet of Buddha light shone from his body, trying to 'convert' the surrounding void that was being refined and transform it into his own Buddha kingdom.

However, the power of the Dao was inexplicably weakened, and this 'battle for home ground' ultimately ended in defeat for Buddha-Eye Heavenly King.

When Li Fei finished refining the surrounding void, he stood within his own 'kingdom'.

The phantoms of mountains, rivers, cities, and people floated and swirled around him, and endless vital energy obeyed his commands!

Xu Chihan, who was watching from the shadows, was terrified.

After obtaining the Dao principles, it became very arrogant, believing itself to be absolutely invincible in the void.

But seeing Li Fei's performance now, it feels it can take some more time to mature.
Within the 'Void Kingdom', Li Fei's combat power increased once again, while Buddha-Eye Heavenly King's combat power was weakened.

With one side gaining and the other losing, the outcome is already decided!
Ning Qingman stood at the edge of the pit, calmly watching the battle in the distance, doing nothing.

Li Fei told her before he made his move that she didn't need to do anything more in this battle.

"I will protect you from now on!"

Li Fei's words still lingered in her mind.

She didn't need a reason; she believed him!

So she stopped drawing her sword and quietly awaited the final outcome.

Li Fei didn't keep her waiting long.

In just a moment, he emerged from the void carrying another severed head.

Buddha-Eye Heavenly King has fallen!
"Zhenhe—"

Li Fei held the severed head high in his hand and roared, "Today I will completely eradicate Pudu Temple!!"

Upon hearing the sound, the Heavenly King of the River turned his head and looked on, his eyes wide with fury.

He saw that Buddha-Eye King had his eyes closed and his face was full of sorrow, as if he had already foreseen the final outcome.

"impossible!!"

The Heavenly King of the River Suppressor roared, and the golden river pushed aside the great sun in front of him, about to kill Li Fei.

Li Fei squeezed his right hand hard, and the head of the Buddha-Eyed Heavenly King in his hand turned into dust!
The Buddhist and Taoist sects joined forces to kill him, and he was once again trapped in a deadly predicament.

Knowing full well that he lacked the necessary conditions for attaining enlightenment, he still chose to forcibly pursue enlightenment for the sake of Ning Qingman and many others.

Although there are thousands of people, I will go!
This has always been Li Fei's way.

The path of self-sacrifice to attain Buddhahood, which Mingqi renounced, must be proven by force, and can be accomplished by giving up everything of oneself.

Li Fei wanted to prove his own path with force, but he had to first get himself into a dead end and then break through it with force!

He had originally given up on this path to enlightenment, because if he deliberately set himself into a deadly predicament, his heart would not be sincere, and he would not be able to attain enlightenment.

Given the previous advantages of the Great Blue Dynasty and Li Fei's combat strength, it is almost impossible for them to fall into a deadly situation again.

Unexpectedly, this misfortune turned into a blessing in disguise. The deadly trap set up by the Buddhist and Taoist sects created a great opportunity for Li Fei to prove his Dao through force!

With his slaying of Buddha-Eye Heavenly King, he forcibly broke this deadlock.

Heaven and earth resonated once more, and another vast and powerful force of fortune surged forth—

Prove the Way through force, knowingly doing the impossible, to prove the Great Way in one's heart.

Li Fei reaches the pinnacle with three certifications!

His Dao principles have changed once again. Although they are not yet perfect, they have already exuded an aura that is unique in heaven and earth!
Before the Heavenly King of Zhenhe could reach him, Li Fei's aura changed once again.

It's not over yet!

Li Fei attained enlightenment three times, and each time he received a boost of fortune.

His personal fortune was already incredibly strong. After receiving three blessings, his fortune became almost tangible, like the national fortune of an independent country!

No one's personal luck has ever been this intense!
Therefore, Li Fei, without hesitation, sought enlightenment once again, following the method he had previously envisioned.

A giant sword appeared behind Li Fei, its blade piercing the sky and stretching across the heavens and earth. Golden dragons coiled on the blade, along with the phantom images of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains and the silhouettes of billions of living beings.

The energy and fortune rise, solidifying into something tangible!
Prove your path through momentum, and reach the pinnacle by leveraging personal luck.

Li Fei has achieved the pinnacle of four certifications!

The moment he completed his enlightenment, the River-Suppressing Heavenly King charged straight towards him, carrying a long golden river.

Li Fei didn't hesitate to charge in headfirst:

"roll--"

boom! ! !
The golden divine sword that pierced through the heavens and earth made a downward pressing motion.

The vast and magnificent river of martial arts was cleaved in two!
The River-Suppressing Heavenly King flew backward at an even faster speed, like a meteor, spitting out a mouthful of blood in mid-air.

Completely desperate, Xuanxin Zhenjun, who was hiding in the shadows, dispelled the formation without hesitation and ran away.

Li Fei did not continue to pursue Zhenhe Tianwang, but turned to look into the distance.

Without him making any move, a thunderous roar suddenly erupted from somewhere more than three thousand meters away.

A dazzling sword light suddenly shot out from the void, forcing out a figure at the same time.

The opponent was surrounded by a dense array of formations, which barely managed to block the attack.

It is none other than True Lord Xuanxin!

Li Fei actually unleashed a move called "Ignorant of the Sky's Height" from a distance of over three thousand meters, and also transmitted his unparalleled physical strength over the distance!
Xuanxin Zhenjun protected himself with his natal magic weapon, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, and looked incredulously in the direction of Li Fei.

He didn't understand how he had revealed his location.

He prepared for this battle for more than half a year in advance, using various formations he had painstakingly studied to isolate his aura, conceal his location, and also left behind many deceptive formations to confuse others.

Even if Yun Shu were to be resurrected, it would take a long time to use the [Analysis] Dao principles to pinpoint his location.

How could Li Fei see through it at a glance?
Xuanxin Zhenjun activated the formation again, and the hundreds of thousands of formations stacked around him disintegrated, turning into thousands of beams of light that fled in all directions!

Li Fei remained expressionless and immediately located the true form of Xuanxin Zhenjun.

After successfully proving his Dao through Qi Luck, Li Fei could see through the subtle changes in the flow of Qi Luck in the world.

As a top-tier expert, Xuanxin Zhenjun possesses immense fortune, making him appear like a torch in the darkness to Li Fei, easily visible even from a great distance!
From then on, unless someone possessed a Dao principle of concealment, all methods of concealment in the world would be rendered useless in Li Fei's eyes!
He struck again, his move "Ignorant of the Sky's Height" hitting Xuanxin Zhenjun precisely from thousands of meters away, knocking him down from the sky.

"how is this possible?"

Xuanxin Zhenjun could not understand Li Fei's methods at all.

On the other side, Taiyu, the Qingshuang Army, and the Baiyan Army joined forces to besiege Zhenhe Tianwang, buying Li Fei time to deal with Xuanxin Zhenjun.

Li Fei stood motionless, unleashing the immense power within him—including physical strength, blood energy, and the power of blood rage—all directed at the distant Xuanxin Zhenjun from afar!

These powers were not diminished at all during the process of traversing the void, just as if Li Fei were really fighting Xuanxin Zhenjun in close combat!
A True Lord's location was seen through by the Martial Saint, who then located his true position and allowed the Martial Saint to get close.

Then the outcome would no longer be in doubt.

In the battle between Qingxu and Taiyu for the position of leader of the Great Luo Sect, Yun Shu secretly helped Taiyu find Qingxu's true location using the [Analysis] Dao Principle. Even though Qingxu's strength was superior to Taiyu's, he ultimately lost to Taiyu.

Xuanxin Zhenjun's combat power was already far inferior to Li Fei's, and when Li Fei got close to him, he was almost completely suppressed and beaten from beginning to end, with no power to fight back!

What horrified Xuanxin Zhenjun even more was that he discovered that every time he clashed with Li Fei's power, a portion of his own fortune would be scattered.

He had never encountered such a direct attack on fortune and destiny before!
If this fight continues, even if he can withstand Li Fei's attacks, Li Fei can rely on his own strong luck to completely shatter all his luck, destroy his destiny, and cause him to fall from his cultivation level on the spot!

"All the mistakes are my fault. I only ask that you not take your anger out on the Shangqing Sect."

Xuanxin Zhenjun had already foreseen his fate and begged for mercy, hoping that Li Fei would spare the Shangqing Sect.

Li Fei remained silent, unleashing a barrage of "Ignorant of the Sky" attacks from afar!

The roar of thunder echoed continuously from afar, and Xuanxin Zhenjun's pleas for mercy never ceased.
At a certain moment, a brilliant ray of light pierced through Xuanxin Zhenjun's protective formation, shattered his natal magic weapon, and blasted his body into dust.

A true sage has fallen!

Li Fei never responded to him until his death.

Xuanxin died with endless regret.

Within a short period of time, all three top-tier players died at the hands of Li Fei.

This is also unique in a thousand years!
Li Fei was still not satisfied. He turned to look at the besieged Zhenhe Tianwang:

"Make way, everyone!"

With one step, he vanished from his spot and reappeared above the head of the River-Suppressing Heavenly King.

Ning Qingman watched his departing figure and smiled.
"It seems like we really don't need to protect him anymore."

Upon hearing Li Fei's command, the Frost Giants and the White Flame Dragons all retreated.

Taiyu also stopped punching, turned to look at Li Fei, his expression complicated.

He guessed that Li Fei's trump card must be very powerful.

But I never imagined it would be this powerful.
"With Lin Tianyi out of the picture, who in this world can stop him?"

With this in mind, Taiyu also stepped back, leaving the battlefield to Li Fei.

The Heavenly King of the Rivers stood on the ground, the earth beneath his feet was already riddled with holes, with crisscrossing cracks.

He looked up at the figure in the air, his eyes filled with anger, pain, resentment, and confusion.

In the end, everything returned to calm.

"Amitabha."

The Heavenly King of Zhenhe clasped his hands together and said, "Thank you for giving me the opportunity for a fair fight."

In the air, Li Fei stared coldly at his opponent:

"I just want to kill you with my own hands!"

"please--"

Boom! ! !

Li Fei descended from the sky with unparalleled power, charging towards the River-Suppressing Heavenly King.

The earth, as thin as paper, suddenly shattered and collapsed downwards!
A golden river surged from the void, carrying countless martial arts phantoms and the millennia-old heritage of Buddhist martial arts, rushing towards Li Fei.

But before it even touched Li Fei's body, this invincible martial arts river automatically collapsed and turned into nothingness!

Zhenhe Tianwang was kicked away by Li Fei, and then immediately caught up with Li Fei and punched into the ground!
"So that's how it is. This is your Dao?"

The Heavenly King of Zhenhe coughed up blood, and after only one round of fighting, his ribs were broken and the bones in his left arm were completely shattered!
The third-ranked person in the world was as vulnerable as a grandmaster in front of Li Fei!
Li Fei's path to enlightenment is not yet over, but after using his destiny to achieve enlightenment, his Daoist aura has officially manifested, and the power of his Daoist principles can be utilized.

The Dao he condensed is called—

[I alone have my own law!]
Within ten feet, all laws are empty.

Ten feet away, the reach of the technique and the extent of the force!
"No wonder you killed Demon Spear and Buddha Eye so quickly."

The Heavenly King of Zhenhe smiled bitterly.

If he had known earlier that Li Fei's Dao was this kind of ability, he definitely wouldn't have chosen to fight Li Fei in close combat.

Without close combat, he cannot fully unleash his fighting power, but he can at least put up a fight.

In close combat, he was like a grandmaster without any principles in front of Li Fei!
Although he, as a 'Grandmaster,' is certainly stronger than any other Grandmaster in the world.

But if they are both Grandmasters, who in this world can compete with Li Fei at the same level?
In just two moves, Zhenhe Tianwang was severely injured by Li Fei!
Amitabha

The Heavenly King of Zhenhe closed his eyes, and in his final moments, he clasped his hands together and faced west as he died.

"Go to hell!"

Before the Heavenly King of Zhenhe could finish his final move, Li Fei punched him so hard that his head exploded!
This man, ranked third in the world, ultimately couldn't withstand three moves from him!

As Taiyu watched the headless corpse of Zhenhe Tianwang fall, he subconsciously swallowed.

Legend has it that if Lin Tianyi, the number one person in the world, were to go all out, he could kill any top expert in the world with just one move!
Even if Li Fei hasn't reached that level yet, he seems to be very close.

After killing the River-Suppressing Heavenly King, Li Fei looked up at the sky.

After his fourth enlightenment, the Vajra Nirvana Array of the Great Sun Tathagata in the sky dissipated.

That Buddha voluntarily withdrew the great formation!
At this moment, Wenren Zheng, who had escaped, was chasing after Qin Mingli, who had transformed into a ninth-grade true dragon, not giving him a chance to escape.

Li Fei vanished from his spot and arrived at the aerial battlefield using the [Boundless Distance] technique.

Wenren turned to look at him, nodding with a satisfied expression:
"give it to you."

After saying that, he took the initiative to withdraw the soldiers who were besieging Qin Mingli and retreated.

"it is good."

Li Fei responded and used the [Boundless Distance] technique to arrive on the head of the Ninth-Rank True Dragon.

Within ten zhang (approximately 33 meters), the [Taiyi Heshui] technique is ineffective!
Without the support of [Taiyi Heshui], Qin Mingli's [Transformation into a Dragon] supernatural power can at most transform him into an eighth-grade flood dragon, not a true dragon.

"I am willing to surrender."

Qin Mingli unleashed a deafening roar from the dragon's head.

Snapped!
Li Fei threw a punch, and the dragon head beneath his feet immediately exploded, turning into a rain of blood that fell from the sky.

Immediately afterwards, the remaining dragon body broke apart inch by inch!

Without the true dragon body, the dragon's body is unable to recover from such injuries.

With a single move, Qin Mingli died!
After throwing a punch, Li Fei turned around immediately, without even looking at the dragon body beneath his feet.

He glanced in the direction of the Buddhist capital, a look of disdain in his eyes:

"Jingheng ran away."

The opponent was far away in the Buddhist capital. After withdrawing the power of the great formation, they actually fled.

The Sky Blue Iron Cavalry couldn't catch up with or stop their opponent.

However, as the abbot of Pudu Temple and the true leader of the Western Kingdom, Li Fei found it utterly disdainful that he would choose to flee under such circumstances!

Mingqi and Buddha Eye Heavenly King voluntarily sacrificed themselves for Buddhism.

Knowing that the situation was hopeless and that he was no match for Li Fei, the Heavenly King of Zhenhe still chose to fight to the death.

Jingheng actually ran away alone?

Wenren Zheng was not surprised at all upon hearing this: "He can't affect the overall situation on his own. We'll kill him sooner or later."

"Ah."

Li Fei nodded, looking at Wenren Zheng with concern, "Grand Marshal, are you alright?"

Wenren Zheng was bleeding profusely, clearly indicating that his injuries were very serious.

But he smiled easily and waved his hand:
"It's alright, with you here now, I can finally get some rest."

"The expedition to the Western Continent still requires you, Grand Marshal, to lead the army. How can you rest so early?"

As Li Fei spoke, he directly transferred a portion of his own fortune to Wenren Zheng to help stabilize his injuries.

A look of surprise appeared in Wenren Zheng's eyes.

He was well aware of his injuries and knew that they couldn't be resolved in a short time because they affected his Dao principles. He might even have long-term consequences, and he probably wouldn't be able to consider reaching the pinnacle again in this lifetime.

But I never expected Li Fei to have such methods?
Having good fortune doesn't necessarily solve injuries at the Dao level; otherwise, Qin Ziheng would have healed Wenren Zheng long ago.

Jingheng's injury cannot be left to be treated until the very end.

At this moment, Li Fei used his own fortune to heal Wenren Zheng. His mastery of fortune was unparalleled in the world!

"Not in a hurry."

Wenren Zheng stopped Li Fei, saying, "Let's finish this up first."

He pointed downwards: "You tell everyone the result of this battle."

Upon hearing this, Li Fei looked down.

After his sudden outburst, the powerful figures from the Great Blue Dynasty and the Buddhist sect ceased their fighting.

The Imperial Guard and the monk soldiers also ceased fighting.

Everyone is waiting for the final result.

Looking at the devastated land, corpses and blood were everywhere.

Li Fei took a deep breath and raised his right hand:
"From this day forward, the Western Kingdom shall cease to exist!"

"We have won this battle!"

The sound carried far and wide, resounding throughout the heavens and earth.

Above the sky, the sea of ​​clouds dispersed.

The brilliant sunlight fell and shone on Li Fei.

The fortune belonging to the Western Kingdom collapsed and merged into the national fortune of the Great Blue Dynasty.

A portion of the Buddhist kingdom's fortune also converged on Li Fei and merged into his body.

The grasslands defeated the Manchus and destroyed their capital.

The Northern Barbarians descended to the Abyss and signed the Alliance of the Wild Gods.

Xuanmo submitted.

The Western Kingdom's successive defeats shattered its national destiny.

Having reached this point, Li Fei has finally completed his path to bringing peace and stability to the world!

A vast and boundless energy flowed into his body, and heaven and earth resonated once more—

The grasslands, the northern barbarian kingdoms, the two great desert kingdoms, and the westernmost kingdom.

The Great Blue Dynasty had twenty-three provinces.
The response resonated throughout the entire Eastern Continent, and even those at the pinnacle of the world felt a sense of connection!
Wenren silently stepped aside, leaving Li Fei alone to bask in the sunlight and be admired by everyone.

Li Fei closed his eyes, and his aura surged once more!
Once you reach the summit, your sword will cleave through the Five Great Peaks.

To bring peace and stability to the world, one must possess the five highest credentials!
