This martial saint's health bar is too thick

Chapter 679 Behind the Scenes
deep sea.

Hundreds and thousands of sword energies tore through the air, accompanied by a piercing shriek, and fiercely stabbed towards the massive carapace of the Silent One.

Boom boom boom boom—! ! !
The deafening explosions engulfed the field of vision, and each strike of sword energy was like a meteorite crashing into the earth.

The flash of the explosion pierced the darkness of the deep sea, and the violent energy shockwave spread wildly in a ring, tearing up the hard seabed rock layer by layer and crushing it into dust!
The dark, armored shell of Jiyan, powerful enough to withstand the combined attacks of over a dozen Grandmasters, trembled violently, emitting a teeth-grinding cracking sound. One after another, terrifying craters, tens of meters in diameter, exploded amidst the dark green blood mist and countless flying fragments of the shell!

The massive, island-like body of Jiyan was blasted backward by the overwhelming force of the impact. Its giant feet plowed out huge trenches tens of feet deep and several miles long on the seabed, with silt and rubble scattering to both sides like a tsunami.

It let out a dull, painful roar, and dark red spots on its carapace flickered wildly in an attempt to repair itself, but the power of the Dao principle of [Sword Dissolution] contained in the sword energy greatly hindered its self-healing.

The sword energy stubbornly entangled, eroded, and disintegrated its immense vitality.

This ninth-grade beast was so suppressed by Ning Qingman's sword energy that it couldn't even lift its head!

Originally, these ninth-rank beings should have had the advantage in deep-sea combat.

For example, Ning Qingman's sword energy should have had some of its power dissipated by the resistance of the seawater and the enormous water pressure before it hit its target.

Furthermore, the various methods employed by the ninth-rank masters can be amplified by harnessing the power of the ocean.

This ebb and flow can greatly narrow the gap between them and the pinnacle of human achievement.

However, the seawater in the Dao Domain had just been completely consumed by Ji Yan, and the seawater outside was blocked by the Dao Domain, so not a single drop could get in.

Moreover, the domains and supernatural powers of several ninth-grade exotic beasts were also suppressed.

This resulted in them playing very passively despite having home advantage.

Wanlin struggled to fly up again from the area stained red with its blood.

Its broken head and body writhed and regenerated at a visible speed. The new scales seemed even more profoundly blue, but its aura was noticeably weaker. Rage and terror burned in its eyes, and as it opened its massive maw, a point of utter darkness gathered deep within its throat—

A black hole radiating endless suction was spewed out by Wanlin!

The instant the black hole appeared, the primordial energy of heaven and earth, shattered rocks, and dissipated sword energy were all frantically pulled and devoured. Even the space visible to the naked eye seemed to be kneaded and pulled by an invisible giant hand, swirling wildly into that deep, dark core!
The black hole rapidly expanded, instantly transforming into a massive vortex with a diameter exceeding one kilometer.

The terrifying suction force acted on Li Fei and Ning Qingman, threatening to completely devour and crush them along with that space!
This is the strongest burst of energy produced by Wanlin burning its source blood.

In conjunction with its outburst, Mu Yuan's thousands of tentacles disintegrated on their own, and the invisible spiritual fluctuations transformed into a terrifying tide that raged within the Dao Domain!

This 'tide' carries an extremely foul aura, enough to completely corrupt the mind of any grandmaster or top-level master, causing them to go insane!
Ning Qingman's body suddenly erupted with a clear and refreshing sword intent, like a blue lotus blooming in a murky swamp. An invisible barrier of sword intent formed, and the power of [Sword Dissolution] precisely decomposed and purified the silent spiritual 'tide' that had attacked her, keeping her sword heart clear and untainted.

As for Li Fei, all the attacks from the three ninth-grade exotic beasts vanished without a trace once they came within three feet of him.

Extraordinary and forbidden!

While expanding his Dao Domain, he still maintained a small Dao Domain within a three-foot radius of himself, which was immune to ordinary Dao Law attacks, let alone extraordinary powers below the Dao Law level.

Looking up at the enormous black hole above him, Li Fei's eyes narrowed slightly. He pointed his right hand like a sword and slashed at the center of the terrifying vortex.

A line of indescribable color suddenly appeared. This line seemed to contain the great power of the beginning of the universe and the division of chaos. It looked thin, but it carried an absolute will to sever all connections and separate all matter!

This move, "Ignorant of the Sky's Height," even incorporates a portion of Ning Qingman's "Sword Unraveling" sword intent and power!
scoff-

Like the sound of tearing cloth, it resounded on the soul level, and the all-consuming black hole was forcibly split in two from the very center by this 'line'.

The vortex's structure collapsed instantly, its internal violent suction and destructive energy colliding and clashing wildly, ultimately annihilating completely with a muffled roar, leaving only a briefly existing, distorted spatial fold.

“Ouch——!!!”

Wanlin's screams were heart-wrenching. His massive body convulsed violently like a sieve, and the scales and flesh that had just regenerated burst open again. Blue blood surged wildly, and his aura plummeted like a cliff!

An overwhelming fear gripped the deep-sea behemoth.

"Stop! Halt!"

The roar of Wanlin echoed wildly within the Dao Domain, carrying a fear that could no longer be concealed:
"My companions have already attacked your fleet! If you kill us, your fleet will perish with them!!!"

The pride and ferocity it had accumulated throughout its long life were shattered at this moment.

It had never encountered such powerful humans before.

All the methods they were good at in the ocean were suppressed and rendered unusable.

All attacks are ineffective.

Even the strongest defense can't withstand a casual strike from the opponent.

This battle was so desperate!
Li Fei ignored Wan Lin and continued his attack.

With Wenren leading two imperial guards to oversee the fleet, even if they were attacked by three or four ninth-grade beasts, they would certainly be safe for the time being.

Within the Dao Domain, the three Ninth-Rank Venerables were beaten to a pulp by Li Fei and Ning Qingman, suffering immense pain!

"I surrender—"

In the end, Wan Lin, who had been the first to provoke Li Fei, was the first to give in.

"Wan Lin, you dare?"

Mu Yuan was about to speak when Li Fei suddenly appeared above him, stomped into the seabed, and most of his body shattered!

"explain."

Li Fei's gaze fell on Wan Lin.

On the other side, Ji Yan, who had been silent all along, also wanted to speak, but Ning Qingman almost cut his body in two with a sword!

As Wan Lin recovered his body, he said:
"We are commanded by the Great Will to stop you from approaching the Western Continent!"

Li Fei: "Who is the Great Will?"

Wan Lin hesitated for a moment, then, spurred on by Li Fei's killing intent, finally shouted:
"It's an Aragami!"

"A Wild God? A tenth-grade exotic beast?"

Gu Li communicated with that unknown being in his consciousness.

"It's not Rank 10. Your companion who possesses the Dao Principles is Rank 10; the Desolate God has no rank. Or rather, it's the supreme Rank 11!"

"Eleventh rank? Above the pinnacle?"

"You can say that."

"Where is the Desolate God? In the deepest part of the Abyss?"

"The Aragami are everywhere."

"Heh, what kind of reward are you talking about?"

"The Way!"

"what?"

"You heard me right. The Desolate God can directly bestow upon us Dao Principles, allowing us to advance to the tenth rank. You should have sensed it; I also possess Dao Principles, and mine are a gift from the Desolate God!"

"What exactly is an Aragami?"

"He is the God of all beasts! He is the source of our bloodline! He is the ruler of the world's will!"

The voice in my consciousness became frenzied.

Gu Li fell silent.

It had indeed heard some legends about the Aragami, but it never expected to receive such an answer.

What terrified it even more was that upon hearing these messages, it felt as if countless long-buried fragments of memory surged up from the deepest recesses of its blood, carrying a primal, instinctive impulse that made it subconsciously want to believe what the other party said.

"Join us in stopping these humans, and the Aragami will reward you!"

The voice in my consciousness rang out again.

In the real world, Wang Chengze looked at Gu Li, who had suddenly stopped:
"what happened?"

Gu Li's heartbeat rang out without any abnormality:

"We've located them; they're right here in this sea area."

"it is good."

Without hesitation, Wang Chengze sank directly into the sea.

He was surrounded by a powerful aura that pushed aside the seawater, like a divine spear piercing the surface of the sea, sinking straight into the darkness.

"Boom!"

A huge splash came from behind him, and a weight like a mountain collapsing suddenly plunged into the sea. The powerful impact of the water made Wang Chengze sway slightly.

He turned around abruptly and saw that Gu Li's huge and ferocious body had already followed closely behind and slid down.

"how?"

Wang Chengze's 'Avalanche' silently rotated half a turn, its tip gleaming coldly in the deep sea.

Gu Li's voice remained calm: "You take the lead in the attack, and I will provide support and containment on the flanks. If anything changes, I will withdraw immediately."

Its enormous compound eyes gleamed eerily in the darkness.

Wang Chengze gave it a deep look, nodded silently, and said no more. His body circulated with qi, like a deep-sea dragon, and he continued to dive rapidly into the unknown dark abyss.

A man and a beast, amidst endless pressure and darkness, advance towards a lurking, deadly threat.

A dozen minutes later, Gu Li suddenly looked in a certain direction:

"found it!"

"Although its aura was well concealed and hidden, it had been using its bloodline power to influence and control the sea beasts in the nearby waters, and eventually it revealed a flaw."

Wang Chengze charged in the direction indicated by Gu Li, gun in hand.
"Then go kill it!"

The darkness ahead was like solidified ink, compressing my vision to its limit.

Suddenly, one, two, thousands upon thousands of eerie lights lit up one after another in the absolute darkness.

It was as if the night sky had been torn open, revealing the billions of cold, lifeless stars that adorned it.

Wang Chengze abruptly stopped, gripping his gun and standing motionless. He finally saw clearly the ninth-rank mythical beast hidden beneath the deep sea—

A bizarre being, larger than imagined, resembling a giant jellyfish from the deep sea.

Its body possessed an eerie, semi-transparent quality, seemingly composed of seawater and shadow. And those countless, star-like specks of light covering its entire body were none other than its countless, slowly opening and closing, eerie eyes!

Just gazing at this colossal beast with its bizarre and unparalleled form, its countless gleaming eyes seemed to contain boundless malice and chaos. Even Wang Chengze, a Martial Saint, felt a slight sense of dizziness.

Without any room for probing, Wang Chengze's muscles tensed instantly like steel strings. 'Avalanche' in his hand emitted a piercing shriek that seemed to cut through the deep sea. A point of cold light exploded at the tip of the spear, and an invisible aura condensed into a line that tore through the heavy seawater, carrying a resolute killing intent capable of shattering mountains, and stabbed straight at the brightest eye.

puff!
The force struck the eye, but it was as if it had pierced a fragile bubble.

The eyeball, gleaming with an eerie light, shattered with a snap, turning into a wisp of scattered light that then coalesced again in the same spot, gleaming with the same cold, indifferent light.

Wang Chengze's shot, powerful enough to pierce a mountain peak, failed to cause any real damage.

Wang Chengze's expression remained as cold and hard as iron, but his eyes had become more serious. He flicked his wrist, and the Snowfall Spear drew a huge, perfect arc in front of him.

Wherever the force of the spear passed, the seawater was forcibly pushed aside, compressed, and solidified by an invisible force.

The arc-shaped watermark instantly extended and lengthened wildly in both directions, while simultaneously spreading rapidly forward as if it were alive.

The overwhelming force of the spear and the earth-shattering power of the avalanche are perfectly replicated in this deep sea!

The immense and vast force of the spear, carrying millions of tons of seawater, transformed into a roaring and raging water dragon. Wherever the water dragon passed, space seemed to distort, and the destructive power contained within it erupted with a deafening roar.

boom! boom! boom! boom!
One after another, the eerie, flickering eyes, like stars ignited, exploded and shattered under the impact of the raging water dragon!
Blinding fragments of light scattered and flew everywhere, briefly illuminating the dark sea as if it were daytime!
When the last eyeball turned into dust and vanished, boundless darkness surged back like a tide, swallowing up all light.

Wang Chengze's mind jolted; the scene before him instantly distorted, blurred, and reformed—

He suddenly appeared in the sky above Xuanji City, with hundreds of thousands of people below, all staring at him.

Ahead, that nightmarish golden figure stood out of thin air.

Li Fei!

"Illusion?"

Wang Chengze remained calm and composed in the face of danger.

He was certain that he was in a hallucination and experiencing the darkest and most painful moment of his life!
"This ninth-grade exotic beast possesses Dao principles, and it's of the mental type?"

Wang Chengze quickly made a judgment and realized that something was wrong.

His "Reverse Fate" ability can transfer all the damage he suffers to his opponent, but if the opponent does not inflict any damage on him, then "Reverse Fate" will be ineffective.

The Dao principles of this ninth-grade exotic beast happen to be the most effective counter to [defying fate]!
Ahead, Li Fei, just like before, strode towards Wang Chengze and threw a punch.

The phrase "Ignorant of the world" has reappeared!
Even though he knew it was an illusion, the suffocating sense of oppression and the undeniable sense of crisis still made Wang Chengze subconsciously make defensive movements and activate the [Defying Fate] principle.

Boom——

The Dao of [Defying Fate] failed once again, and Wang Chengze fell from the sky like a meteor once more. In front of hundreds of thousands of people, he was defeated by Li Fei in one move!

"puff--!"

Wang Chengze lay at the bottom of the pit, spitting out blood.

"Am I really hurt? Why?"

"It's impossible for the opponent to truly simulate Li Fei's Dao principles, so why did my [Defy Fate] fail?"

"Or is it all a lie?"

"No, what if everything I experience in the illusion is actually reflected back to me?"

"."

While Wang Chengze was immersed in an absolutely realistic illusion, everyone was communicating with Gu Li:
“He has been trapped by my Dao principles and is in an illusion. You may make your move now.”

"Why didn't you just kill him?"

"This is your chance to make a contribution. Don't you want the God of Desolation to bestow upon you the Dao principles?"

".good."

The massive body of the Bone Demon began to move.

Ahead, Wang Chengze, holding a long spear, stood quietly in the seawater.

He kept his eyes closed and remained motionless, while glowing eyes appeared around him.

Gu Li came up behind Wang Chengze, and hundreds of tentacles wrapped around him.

These tentacles penetrated the surrounding eyes without any hindrance.

Just as they were about to touch Wang Chengze's body, all the tentacles suddenly trembled violently.

Countless invisible mental shockwaves converged, overlapped, and erupted like a raging tidal wave, sweeping wildly in all directions indiscriminately!

One by one, the illusory eyes shattered.

This time, the shattered eyes did not reappear.

Wang Chengze suddenly opened his eyes, waking up from the illusion.

He had just regained consciousness when his chest caved in and he spat out a mouthful of blood!

He immediately activated [Rebellion] to protect himself, while looking around.

Gu Li's tentacles surrounded him, but did not attack him; instead, a powerful mental attack swept outwards.

"It saved me?"

Wang Chengze realized what was happening.

"Why?!"

The crowd questioned him angrily.

A multitude of glowing eyes surrounded Gu Li.

Soon, Gu Li's most powerful mental attack vanished without a trace, becoming ineffective once more.

"I guess the reason you haven't taken action directly is because if you do, it's easy for the target to break free of your illusion, so you need my cooperation."

"Gu Li said."

It was also a powerful being in the realm of mental cultivation, and it roughly understood the intricacies of the matter.

Unfortunately, it lacked the principles of Tao, and its mental and spiritual level was vastly different from that of its opponent.

Anger blared from all directions, and whispers echoed in their hearts:

"You think I can't kill you all?!"

Wang Chengze looked solemn.

He had examined his injuries and was horrified to discover that he had caused them himself!
[Defying Fate] can reflect the damage others cause to him, but he is powerless to deal with the damage he causes to himself.

Although he didn't know why Gu Li was so determined to help him, even if he and Gu Li joined forces, it seemed they couldn't defeat a ninth-grade beast with such strange Daoist power.

"As a ninth-rank official, why would you stoop so low as to help humanity?"

All eyes were on him, demanding an explanation.

Even if Gu Li chooses to stay on the sea and remain neutral, it can understand.

It didn't understand why, after learning of the existence of the Aragami, the other party stood even more firmly on the side of humanity.

"Because it doesn't want me to kill it."

Suddenly, a crack appeared in the void, and a voice came from it.

Immediately afterwards, a golden sphere of light flew out from it.

Inside the sphere of light, Li Fei and Ning Qingman were safe and sound.

Beside him was Wanlin, whose head was the only remaining one, and two large clumps of dark red and dark blue primal blood that emanated terrifying energy fluctuations and flowed like lava.

Gu Li looked at Li Fei, who had appeared, and breathed a sigh of relief.

He glanced again at Wanlin, who now only had a head left, and at the two clumps of primordial blood, and secretly rejoiced.

The Aragami (wild gods) might actually be real.

But if the Wild God is really that powerful, why did all the ninth-grade beasts flee the continent a thousand years ago?

Why did it eventually come to the point where humans dominate the world?

More importantly, Gu Li has yet to see where the Aragami is.

But Li Fei, the god of death, was right beside them!
It has signed an alliance with Li Fei, making it easy to pinpoint its location.

It continues to help humanity, but its ultimate fate remains unknown.

But if it chooses to help these ninth-rank officials in the sea, not to mention the consequences of violating the alliance.

Gu Li had no doubt that he would be beaten to death by Li Fei!
The kind that's very cruel.
Moreover, with the resurgence of the Desolate God and the attack by the ninth-grade alien beast in the sea, Li Fei might not still believe in himself and Xu Chi Han.

In order to protect himself, Gu Li had no choice but to take the initiative to declare his position, follow Wang Chengze into the sea, and take action against the crowd.

In hindsight, it made the right bet.

Li Fei glanced at Gu Li and Wang Chengze, and nodded.

Then, looking into the eyes of the crowd, the golden Dao Domain expanded once more in the deep sea:

"Tell me what you know, and I'll give you a chance to live."
