This martial saint's health bar is too thick

Chapter 651 The momentum is like a mountain collapsing

Li Fei reappeared on the teleportation array.

When Wenren saw that he had returned safely, he silently dissipated the immense power that had been gathered within him.

"how?"

"We went into a secret room and witnessed a piece of history."

Li Fei said.

"Oh?"

"It's a long story."

Li Fei waved his left hand and tossed a crystal to Wenren Zheng, saying, "Marshal, you can go and see for yourself."

There was nothing unusual about the Buddha statue in the secret room.

Perhaps out of respect for the Buddha, Jingheng never thought of taking the crystal out of the Buddha statue. Instead, he often blessed the Buddha statue with the words of the Buddha.

Li Fei guessed that this was both a form of spiritual practice and a way to keep a secret.

He didn't think about it that much, and simply took the crystal out of the Buddha statue and brought it out.

Wenren caught the crystal.

Although he didn't know magic, the illusion on the crystal didn't necessarily require magic to enter; as long as one's mental strength was strong enough, it was possible.

Wenren Zheng's mental strength was of course not a problem, so he quickly entered the illusion.

A moment later, he came to his senses, his face showing undisguised surprise.

"The Buddhist and Taoist traditions have been passed down for many years, and they must have kept some secrets unknown to others. Since the Buddha chose to record that battle, such crystals should still exist."

Wenren Zheng said.

The crystal that Li Fei obtained only recorded a section of information; the subsequent great battle was not recorded at all.

"Hmm, but I think the rest of the crystals might not be in Pudu Temple."

Li Fei offered his guess: "Otherwise, Jingheng could have simply placed all the crystals in one place, instead of separating them."

"Ah."

Wenren Zheng nodded and tossed the crystal back to Li Fei, saying, "You should keep this safe."

He was also interested in the secrets of antiquity, but he was more concerned with the present.

Li Fei put away the crystal and left the secret passage with Wenren Zheng.

After going up, he looked at the True Man of the Righteous Dharma Pavilion who had discovered the secret passage:
Have other areas been searched?

The other party nodded: "We've searched the whole place, but haven't found any other secret passages or rooms yet."

"it is good."

Li Fei suddenly leaped up from the ground and flew into the air.

Wenren Zheng also took to the air.

"Everyone, leave the designated area—"

Li Fei's voice echoed throughout Pudu Mountain.

Soon, the Imperial Guards and the people of the Great Blue Dynasty who were stationed in the main construction area retreated to the designated area.

A figure soared into the air and arrived beside Li Fei and Wenren Zheng.

It was none other than Yu the Great.

Li Fei asked him to come and witness the final outcome of Pudu Temple, and he agreed.

It wasn't because he wanted to witness firsthand how his former enemy would fall, but because he knew that Li Fei was intentionally making him see it.

The emperor agreed to make Taiyu the national advisor, and Li Fei also agreed to hand over the Dao principles of the [Forgetful River] to the Great Luo Sect.

With Buddhism gone, the Shangqing Sect's fate won't be much better. The Daluo Sect might usher in an unprecedented period of glory!
All of this was of course obtained by Taiyu through his own efforts for the Daluo Sect, but Li Fei did not want the other party to repeat Qingxu's mistakes.

So he wanted the other party to see the fate of Pudu Temple with their own eyes!

In that illusion, Li Fei saw Buddha fighting against the alien beasts for the future of humanity.

The prosperity and strength of the human race today is certainly inseparable from the contributions of Buddha and others in the past!
Li Fei held Buddha in high esteem.

But he still won't go easy on Pudu Temple!

The Buddhist tradition can continue, but Pudu Temple must disappear!

After everyone left the main building area, a surge of powerful true energy erupted from Li Fei's body, causing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to fluctuate.

歘——

Flames suddenly appeared out of nowhere, setting the grand halls, white towers, and jungle below ablaze!
This ancient temple, with a history of over a thousand years, was once famous for its "horse racing and lantern lighting, and a thousand Buddhas in the same hall".

With its layered palaces and forest of white pagodas, the golden roofs, bathed in the setting sun, resemble a Buddhist kingdom descending to earth.

At this moment, bursts of flame suddenly rose up, like red lotuses blooming and karmic fire descending.

The Heavenly Buddha Hall, the Sutra Repository, the Bell Tower, and the Bodhi Grove—the places that Pudu Temple was most proud of—were instantly engulfed in flames!

The flames were no ordinary flames; they were flames condensed by Li Fei using his 'True One Realm' cultivation to perform flame magic, drawing upon the purest fire elemental energy in the world.

It ignites upon contact with wood and melts into gold upon contact with stone!
Glazed tiles shattered in the high temperature, painted brackets collapsed with a roar, and Buddhist temples were engulfed by flames one after another.

The white pagoda cracked from the heat, and the Buddhist sculptures on its body twisted and disintegrated in the fire.

The once majestic Buddha statues in the main hall had their golden bodies melt and peel away in the high temperature, revealing the charred clay beneath. One after another, the statues collapsed and shattered in the fire.
Flames soared into the sky, illuminating half the heavens. The once sacred Buddhist site, filled with the sounds of morning bells and evening drums and the chanting of sutras, is now reduced to the resounding crash of collapsing beams and the ever-flying ashes.

Taiyu stood in the air, looking down at the sea of ​​fire.

His eyes reflected a crimson hue, and also the annihilation of a thousand-year-old sacred site.

A thousand-year-old temple, reduced to ashes!
Shangqing Sect.

The artillery fire continued all night.

More than two hundred new cannons fired in turn, and tens of thousands of shells bombarded the mountain-protecting formation of the Shangqing Sect!

The Feathered Immortal Master Wu Lin, along with a Grandmaster, three other Immortals, and five Martial Arts Masters, took turns attacking the Shangqing Sect's protective mountain formation throughout the night.

These people were all from the Feathered Ascension Sect who were unwilling to remain in the mountains to cultivate and ignore the mortal world.

Previously, during the period of "competition for glory" among the three major Taoist sects, these individuals were responsible for managing the influence of the Feathered Ascension Sect, dealing with the imperial court, and wielding considerable power.

When Wu Hui became the sect leader, he wanted to further sever the connection between the Feathered Ascension Sect and the mortal world, which these people were naturally unwilling to do.

This is also why Ye Ze'an was able to persuade and win over these people.

"Junior brother, do you think Ye Ze'an actually placed someone within the Shangqing Sect?"

A man wielding a long sword descended from the sky, came to Wu Lin's side, and asked a question.

The man's Daoist name was Wuju, and he was a Grandmaster of the Feather Transformation Sect, with a cultivation level at the peak of the Dao Establishment Realm.

On the Heavenly Ranking released by Li Fei, he ranked sixth, even above Han Mu, the Grand Commander of the Imperial Guards of the Great Blue Dynasty, and Ni Xuan, the Pavilion Master of Zhige Pavilion.

Even though it was a Grandmaster on the Heavenly Ranking, who attacked all night with new-style cannons, they still couldn't shake the Shangqing Sect's protective mountain formation.

“There must have been a plan, otherwise it would have been impossible for us to break through the Shangqing Sect’s gate with just these few people.”

Wu Lin said.

Wu Ju shook his head: "Maybe it's just to put pressure on True Monarch Xuanxin and force him to come back. The great battle over there is over, but there's still no movement from within the Shangqing Sect's mountain gate."

Wu Lin pointed to the artillery position not far away, where Lan Yu and the others were silently waiting, holding assault rifles in their hands:

"Ye Ze'an prepared so many gunmen in advance so that they could be of great use after the mountain-protecting formation was broken."

Wu Ju glanced at Lan Yu and the others, then looked back at the protective mountain formation in front of him:

"Do you think True Monarch Xuanxin is really dead?"

The news that came back from Vajra City made both him and Wu Lin feel a lack of reality.

Li Fei broke through the realm in one fell swoop and killed five peak masters in succession?

too exaggerated!

Wu Lin: "If True Monarch Xuanxin hadn't died, he should have returned by now."

As agreed beforehand, if True Lord Xuanxin really returned, the Great Blue Dynasty would notify them in time, and they would withdraw immediately.

The news they received was that True Monarch Xuanxin had died at the hands of Li Fei!
"If the news from the Great Blue Dynasty is true, four Martial Saints have died outside Vajra City."

His eyes shifted, revealing some fluctuations in his emotions.

Wu Lin looked at him, knowing what he was thinking.

Wu Hui broke through to the next realm in a single day. The opportunity arose from the deaths of several True Realm experts, which changed the fortunes of the realm. He then used a secret technique to calculate the most suitable day for breaking through and successfully achieved it.

The reason why the fortunes of Qingxu, Qiming, Yunshu, and Wuxun Zhenjun, the previous leader of the Yuhua Sect, changed was because of the successive deaths of these four True One Realm experts.

Now, outside Vajra City, the four Martial Saints—'Demon Spear' Tian Youpeng, Buddha-Eye Heavenly King, River-Suppressing Heavenly King, and Qin Mingli—have all fallen one after another.

Will a similar shift in fortune occur as before?
Will there come a day when it will be relatively easier for all Grandmasters to break through to Sainthood?

Every grandmaster who makes it onto the Heavenly Ranking has an additional chance to break through to sainthood.

Having honed his skills in the Dao Realm for many years, Wu Ju naturally has ideas about the Martial Saint Realm.

"Given what happened last time, there will probably be a lot of people 'striving to cross' this time."

Wu Lin said.

On the same day, the representatives of the Great Blue Dynasty, Pudu Temple, and the three Taoist sects broke through to the next realm. Afterwards, Wu Hui became a True Lord, the Great Man from the grasslands became a True Lord, and several other families had several more Prince-level experts.

Anyone with access to information and knowledge of the secrets of destiny will surely be able to make connections from this.

Therefore, Wu Lin believes that even if there are suitable days for Grandmasters to break through to the next realm, there will still be many people 'competing' for it.

Wu Ju's eyes were resolute: "We must fight for it!"

After saying that, he took to the air again and flew towards the Shangqing Sect's mountain gate in front of him.

"Senior brother."

Seeing this, Wu Lin quickly followed.

The two attacked in turns. Wu Lin had been attacking for over an hour and, without waiting to recover, was now going to continue his attack.

Wu Ju arrived above the mountain-protecting array, and a clear blue light enveloped the Shangqing Sect. It seemed that there were no miraculous changes, but any attack that hit the blue light would be instantly dissolved into the most basic primordial energy, which would in turn replenish the array's losses.

【The Great Array of Returning Qi to the Origin of Heaven and Earth】!
This protective array of the Shangqing Sect has a history of over eight hundred years, and has been continuously strengthened and improved by generations. With the Prince-level True Person Xuan Chen personally overseeing it, even a top-tier expert would find it difficult to break through this array in a short time.

"True Lord Xuanxin is dead, what are you still insisting on?!"

Without any force, he shouted loudly.

The sound echoed through the mountains.

"The great formation isolates the sound, so the disciples inside can't hear it."

Wu Lin came to Wu Ju's side and said to him.

Wu Ju: "I wasn't saying this to ordinary disciples."

Wu Lin understood.

The 【Qiankun Yiqi Guiyuan Grand Formation】cannot be presided over by Xuan Chen alone. All the True Persons, even Martial Arts Masters and Grandmasters within the Shangqing Sect can contribute.

These people, once they take over a portion of the 'authority' of the great formation, may be able to hear Wuju's shouts.

If Ye Ze'an really had arrangements for the Shangqing Sect, the 'insiders' he arranged would definitely be one or more of these people.

However, since the other party hasn't made a move yet, they must be wavering.

The point of having no drama is to help the other person make up their mind.

"The Mysterious Heart True Lord is dead, the Western Kingdom has been defeated, and Duke Jing'an, Li Fei, has reached the pinnacle!"

"The Shangqing Sect will inevitably be purged next. It's not too late for you to abandon the darkness and embrace the light!"

"If they continue to resist, and the Duke of Jing'an comes here in person, we will surely massacre the Shangqing Sect!!"

Wu Ju was also in a hurry and couldn't care less about anything else, so he started to use Li Fei's name to intimidate people.

His main martial art is the domineering martial art that is rare in the Feathered Ascension Sect - "Mysterious Extreme Mountain-Slaying Technique".

After cultivating this technique to the level of establishing the Dao, Wu Ju set his own path to enlightenment as "breaking through mountains and conquering sects"!
Similar to the path of enlightenment for military strategists, who aim to conquer cities and destroy nations, Wuju aims to break through mountains and conquer sects, that is, to gain access to a higher realm by destroying long-established sects.

This is also why he was persuaded by Ye Ze'an to risk his life and personally attack the Shangqing Sect's mountain gate.

If he can personally break through the Shangqing Sect's mountain gate and play a key role in the destruction of the Shangqing Sect, he can take advantage of the situation to ascend to sainthood in one fell swoop!
A sect with a history of over 800 years can bring Wuju tremendous rewards!
However, he did not kill the leader of the Shangqing Sect, Xuanxin Zhenjun, and he did not make any contribution in that battle.

The main contribution to the attack on the Shangqing Sect's mountain gate was the more than two hundred cannons.

Even without the help of a possible inside agent within the mountain gate, there was no guarantee that they could break through it.

Even if he were to actually breach the Shangqing Sect's gates afterward, the feedback Wuju received would not be enough for him to use the momentum to prove his Dao.

But there may be a 'battle' among martial artists next. The more he gains and accumulates here, the greater his chances of winning that 'battle' will be!
Without any drama, they continued to make appeals and relentlessly tried to win people over.

Inside the 【Qiankun Yiqi Guiyuan Grand Array】, Xuan Chen Zhenren, who was in charge of the array, immediately cut off all external sounds.

No one else could hear the noise outside except him.

But after doing so, he felt very regretful.

Because this would only make him seem guilty!

After the fall of Xuanxin Zhenjun, he was the first person in the Shangqing Sect to know the outcome.

Because True Lord Xuanxin left him a life tablet, a magical artifact related to destiny. Once True Lord Xuanxin perishes, this life tablet will shatter.

Upon seeing the life tablet shatter, Master Xuanchen was filled with terror!

"How could the Sect Leader be dead?"

Even if the Western Kingdom suffers a defeat in the war, with the abilities of True Lord Xuanxin and his prior preparations, self-preservation will certainly not be a problem.

Actually died?

Master Xuanchen refused to believe the outcome and waited anxiously.

But after waiting all night, Xuanxin Zhenjun still hadn't returned.

If True Monarch Xuanxin had not been in trouble, he would have rushed back immediately when the Shangqing Sect's mountain gate was under continuous attack.

Upon hearing Wu Ju's shout, Master Xuan Chen immediately cut off all external sounds, because deep down he already believed in that outcome.

"Master, brother."

Master Xuanchen's eyes were filled with sorrow.

He did not resent the other party, because the other party's choice was indeed the most beneficial to the Shangqing Sect.

It's all history now, and it's pointless to say anything. He and Xuanxin Zhenjun will inevitably become sinners of the Shangqing Sect!
Suddenly, the [Qiankun Yiqi Guiyuan Array] showed unusual activity.

The azure light fluctuated violently, and a force within the formation suddenly turned against itself and attacked the formation!

"Xuanbi. Even you..."

Master Xuanchen immediately realized who was behind this: it was a Grandmaster from the Shangqing Sect!

Xuan Bi's sudden defection seemed to send a signal, and multiple nodes within the [Qiankun Yiqi Guiyuan Array] experienced problems!

Master Xuanchen closed his eyes in pain.

He knew that not all of these people had been persuaded by Ye Ze'an.

It's likely that the mole Ye Ze'an planted has been secretly colluding and communicating with the others.

The new cannons were incredibly powerful. The Feathered Ascension Sect members had not retreated outside the mountain gate, True Monarch Xuanxin had not returned all night, and True Man Xuanchen had just suddenly cut off the outside world.
All of these events combined led the people within the sect to make a judgment.

Any defense is always easiest to breach from within.

Although the [Qiankun Yiqi Guiyuan Grand Array] is powerful, it cannot withstand the sabotage caused by someone inside.

Wu Ju and Wu Lin, along with a group of powerful members of the Feathered Transformation Sect, joined forces, and with the timely adjustment of the cannons' positions, they broke a gap in the great formation in just a few breaths!
In fact, at this point, Master Xuanchen still had the opportunity to adjust the grand formation.

With his prince-level combat strength, killing the leaders Wuju and Wulin would not be difficult at all.

But he ultimately did not do so.

He completely relinquished control of the [Qiankun Yiqi Guiyuan Array] and went alone to the forbidden area in the back mountain of the Shangqing Sect.

A moment later, True Person Xuanchen piloted a flying boat and escaped from the Shangqing Sect!

No one stopped him, because everyone knew they couldn't stop him.

Lan Yu and the others were brought into the Shangqing Sect by several True Persons of the Feathered Ascension Sect using the Wind Riding Technique.

They immediately followed the pre-arranged battle plan, dividing into several large groups, each led by a martial arts master or a true immortal, and charged towards the most crucial locations of the Shangqing Sect—

Alchemy room, weapon-making room, library
A barrage of gunfire erupted inside the Shangqing Sect's mountain gate.

Unless facing a martial arts master or a true master, even a disciple of the Shangqing Sect with a Dao Foundation stage cultivation level would be completely unable to stop Lan Yu and his group!
Lan Yu and the others were positioned very far apart. Even when some gunmen were killed by the Dao Foundation stage warriors of the Shangqing Sect, a continuous storm of bullets still enveloped them from all directions.

Once the protective energy is torn open, these Shangqing Sect disciples will be hit.

With the physical strength of someone at the Foundation Establishment stage, it's impossible to block a bullet with one's bare body.

Wu Ju and others, along with a group of powerful figures who defected from the Shangqing Sect, also held an advantage in terms of strength.

Moreover, with the death of True Monarch Xuanxin and the escape of True Man Xuanchen, most of the disciples of Shangqing Sect had lost their will to fight.

The battle lasted less than an hour before the Shangqing Sect was completely overrun!
Once one of the three major schools of Taoism, it is now engulfed in smoke and fire, with many disciples riddled with bullets!

Among the powerful figures within the sect, some surrendered, some died, and some fled.

The Red Desert Kingdom.

Akagami Castle.

The attack by the barbarian army also lasted all night.

First, they rushed to the front lines at full speed regardless of losses, and then they continued to attack the city regardless of losses.

By now, the weapons on the more than 1,000 Imperial Guards are on the verge of complete destruction.

"General, the army's formation is about to collapse!"

"Continue the attack! Without the enemy's formation, charge straight in and besiege the city!"

The adjutant in charge of leading the barbarian army roared.

He received a death order: unless Crimson City surrendered, the attack could not stop, even if it meant sacrificing everyone!

Just as the adjutant gave the order, the city gate in front suddenly opened.

"Please stop, everyone! We are willing to surrender!"

A voice came from inside the city.

The barbarian army's offensive has temporarily ceased.

Soon, witnessed by a group of soldiers, a ceremonial guard walked out of the city.

The person in the lead was dressed in white, looked very young, and had tear stains on his face.

The young man held a wooden box in both hands and walked step by step toward the barbarian army.

He stopped 30 meters away from the barbarian army, and the honor guard behind him also stopped.

The young man knelt on both knees, holding the wooden box high in his hands, and cried out in anguish:

“My father, Yuwen Qiuchuan, was blinded by evil and unwilling to surrender. After our persuasion, he has now come to his senses and is willing to open the city gates, surrender, and commit suicide to atone for his sins!”

Upon hearing this, the commander of the Barbarian Army was still somewhat bewildered, while the group of powerful soldiers from the Southern Border Army who had come with him all changed color.

Yuwen Qiuchuan is the head of the Yuwen family and a Grandmaster of the Peak Realm!

Previously, the Yuwen family plotted a rebellion in Chishen City, and in the end, it was Yuwen Qiuchuan who personally killed the ruler of Chimo Kingdom!
This person is actually dead?

The Yuwen family is different from the royal family of Xuanmo Kingdom. The Yuwen family has two Grandmasters, and their influence in Chimo Kingdom even slightly surpasses that of the royal family.

Besides Yuwen Qiuchuan, the Yuwen family also has another ancestor who is a Grandmaster of the Dao Establishment Realm and is on the candidate list of the Heavenly Ranking.

Within Crimson God City, if anyone could kill Yuwen Qiuchuan, the head of the family, it would only be that ancestor.

The commander of the Barbarian Slaughtering Army stepped forward and approached the kneeling young man from the Yuwen family, opening the wooden box he was holding.

Inside the wooden box was a human head, its eyes wide open in anger, its face filled with resentment.

The adjutant examined the human head carefully, then raised his right hand and took a deep breath:

"All troops, listen to my command, advance into the city!"

On this day, the Yuwen family, representing the Crimson Desert Kingdom, participated in the surrender ceremony within the imperial palace of Crimson God City.
