This martial saint's health bar is too thick

Chapter 692 Heart Prison
Above the vast sea of ​​clouds, the gale-force winds are like knives, biting and piercing.

Below, towering, continuous mountain peaks rise majestically, and ancient trees reach for the sky like a vast sea.

Wenren was standing above the sea of ​​clouds when the space around him, which was a hundred feet wide, suddenly burst open like a piece of brocade being violently torn apart by an invisible giant hand, revealing countless deep, dark void cracks that emitted terrifying suction!

The raging spatial turbulence was like an invisible behemoth, opening its blood-red maw to swallow Wenren Zheng into the void.

Wenren Zheng stood firm like a solitary peak amidst the raging storm of destruction. The Iron-Blooded Soldier's aura erupted from his body, instantly condensing and sublimating into a solid suit of armor flowing with a crimson luster like lava.

Above the armor are majestic cities, and the clash of swords and the carnage of countless corpses.
A menacing aura permeated the air, staining the surrounding rolling sea of ​​clouds with a tragic and chilling golden-red hue.

Without him making any move, the clouds beneath his feet suddenly exploded, forcibly breaking free from the terrifying suction of the spatial rift at the critical moment.

Amidst a piercing shriek, spatial turbulence scraped against the crimson armor, blasting out billions of blinding sparks!
In the blink of an eye, Wenren Zheng had already swept across thousands of meters like a crimson meteor.

Where he had just stood, the void completely collapsed, and a huge black hole, hundreds of meters in diameter and capable of swallowing all light, was suddenly revealed, as if a piece of the sky had been forcibly ripped away!
"Void Pond Clam?"

After traveling together at sea for several dozen days, Wenren Zheng had become familiar with the aura of the Void Pool Clam. This ability to stir up the void clearly came from this tenth-grade exotic beast.

The other party wanted to pull him into the void!

"Roar--!!!"

The inhuman roar, filled with the resentment of countless living beings, shook the heavens.

A terrifying behemoth, a thousand meters tall, forcibly pieced together from countless enormous, pale skeletons and writhing, dark red flesh dripping with filthy slime, suddenly 'squeezed' out from the void behind Wenren.

Hundreds of thick tentacles covered with ferocious bone spikes and suckers, like giant fleshy pythons emerging from the deepest hell, came from all directions with the force of wind and thunder to strangle and entangle them!

At the same time, a spiritual storm powerful enough to crush the will of mountains and pollute the very essence of souls, along with a monstrous black tide of its unique domain, [Myriad Thoughts Devouring Souls], frantically assaulted Wenren Zheng's mind!

"Bone Li!"

Wenren Zheng recognized him again.

The opponent's attack method is a perfect combination of physical control and mental pollution.

Wenren Zheng's movements faltered slightly. Since Bing Sha was inherently effective against mental attacks, Gu Li's methods were not very effective against him.

But the real threat arrived in the next instant—

The world before Wenren Zheng's eyes instantly spun around, his consciousness was forcibly dragged away, and he sank into oblivion!
He is no longer a war god standing in the clouds, but...
Standing amidst a burning ruin, the sky was a shattered dark red, and the strange phenomenon of a white rainbow piercing the sun had just dissipated, leaving behind a blinding afterimage.

Wenren Zheng was standing on the familiar white jade square in front of the Imperial Study of the Blue Ling City Palace, which was now covered with cracks and scorch marks.

He could neither speak nor move his hands; he could only look in one fixed direction.

Emperor Hongguang was standing at the center of a vortex of fortune, where gold and red intertwined and the energy was boiling violently.

The other person had an aged yet calm face, with dazzling blood constantly seeping from his seven orifices, and the light that symbolized dragon energy and vitality was rapidly flowing away and disappearing from his body.

This scene is exactly the moment when Jingheng broke into the palace and Emperor Hongguang and Yunshu died for their country!

Emperor Hongguang's gaze seemed to pierce through the barriers of time and space, landing on Wenren Zheng. His eyes held a sense of relief, a sense of entrustment, and a sense of farewell.

"His Majesty--!!"

Deep within Wenren Zheng's consciousness, a silent roar almost unconsciously erupted.

In that instant, it felt as if a thousand sharp blades had pierced his heart simultaneously.

The pain was like being cut into a thousand pieces, far exceeding any physical injury!
As the emperor's study companion, Wenren Zheng grew up with Emperor Hongguang from childhood. The two were not only ruler and subject, but also close friends.

Wenren Zheng's greatest regret in life, and also the biggest flaw in his mind, was that he was not by the side of Emperor Hongguang when he died.

He can't do anything, he can't stop anything!

They were unable to see each other one last time.

Even though he knew it was an illusion, Wenren Zheng still wanted to rush forward, but his body felt like it was filled with lead, and he was firmly imprisoned in place by an invisible barrier.

He could only watch helplessly as the figure, under the backlash of fortune and the erosion of Buddhist light, turned into ashes inch by inch and vanished with the wind!
In reality, Wenren Zheng's body suddenly stiffened on the spot, his muscles tensed like iron, and his eyes glazed over.

The condensed, almost tangible, iron-blooded weapon energy fluctuated violently!

With the [Beacon of Ultimate Saint], Wenren Zheng possesses the strongest Martial Saint body, and the Soldier's Fiend can also counter mental attacks, so Wenren Zheng has almost no weaknesses.

The only flaw is one's state of mind.

The most powerful fortresses are often breached from within.

The ability to create an illusion that even a powerful figure like Wenren Zheng could fall into is precisely the Dao principle of the Tenth-Rank Beast Eyes—

[Heart Prison]

This principle allows it to see into the deepest fears and obsessions of intelligent beings, and to create a unique, inescapable 'mental hell' for them!
Three monstrous beasts joined forces to kill Wenren Zheng!
Taking advantage of Wenren's being affected by the "Heart Prison," Gu Li successfully wrapped his tentacles around him.

At the same time, Xu Chihan successfully dragged Wenren Zheng and Gu Li into the void.

When the target is controlled by the [Mind Prison], if the eyes of the crowd apply external force to the target, the target will immediately wake up from the illusion.

Therefore, it did not take further action against Wenren Zheng.

In the void, countless destructive torrents composed of pure spatial turbulence, like billions of invisible spatial blades, came from all directions, frantically cutting, scouring, and tearing at Wenren Zheng's Bing Sha armor!

The armor was instantly covered with fine cracks, sparks flew everywhere, and spatial turbulence even seeped into the gaps in the armor, directly tearing Wenren Zheng's flesh and bones apart.

But it only left shallow scars on Wenren Zheng's flesh and blood.

Wenren Zheng's Martial Saint Body is his Dao principle, so he will not be easily injured.

The fierce attack finally brought Wenren Zheng back to his senses from the illusion.

"court death--!!!"

A roar filled with grief, indignation, and boundless rage exploded in the void.

Wenren Zheng's crimson armor burst into a towering, golden-red flame.

The bone tentacles wrapped around Wenren Zheng's body, like rotten wood thrown into a furnace, snapped inch by inch and turned to ashes in the sky-piercing golden flames that suddenly rose from the crimson armor and almost burned away the void!
Wenren Zheng clenched his fists, took a step forward, and directly tore apart the raging void storm around him, unleashing a powerful punch.

The golden-red fist energy transformed into a raging dragon tearing through the chaos, containing Wenren Zheng's boundless fury and the unparalleled sharpness of the [Beacon Fire Supreme Saint], roaring and piercing the boundary between the void and reality!
The residual force of the fist, undiminished, blasted out from the void like a meteor falling from the sky, slamming heavily onto the massive, umbrella-shaped body that was shrouded in eerie blue phosphorescence, catching everyone off guard.

"puff--"

A dull thud accompanied by the popping of viscous liquid. The punch caused the eyes to cave in violently, their bodies covered with spiderweb-like cracks. The tens of thousands of eerie blue compound eyes embedded in them, like fragile glass that had been ignited, cracked and burst open, exploding into viscous liquid!
It let out a shrill scream as its massive body crashed down from the sky.

Wenren Zheng followed closely behind, bursting out of the void and charging towards the crowd.

His eyes were bloodshot, and his killing intent boiled like a volcanic eruption, making everyone feel as if they were standing in front of a torrent of soldiers composed of hundreds of millions of troops!
Before everyone's gaze could fall from the sky, Wenren Zheng had already caught up with them.

boom! boom! boom!
Wenren was throwing punches wildly, each punch condensing the golden-red weapon energy to the extreme, like small doomsday stars, tearing through the air with a piercing shriek, and slamming into the shattered body of the crowd.

Wherever the fist's energy passed, the space was plowed out with visible distortions!
Gu Li emerged from the void, brandishing its hundreds of thick, newly grown tentacles, recklessly intercepting Wenren Zheng's fist. *Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!*

One by one, the tentacles disintegrated, and dark green blood rained down from the sky like a storm.

Each time Wenren Zheng unleashed a punch, it caused Gu Li's massive body to tremble violently and let out a painful roar, but it did not retreat an inch.

"Who made these strange beasts join forces in such a life-or-death situation?"

Not long ago, Gu Li coveted the Dao of the Eyes. If Li Fei hadn't stopped him, he would have killed the Eyes and tried to 'devour the Dao' long ago.

But now, Gu Li is actually willing to sacrifice his own source blood in order to protect Zhong Mou from injury?

Although Wenren Zheng was angry, he did not lose his reason and was still thinking.

Xu Chihan and Gu Li had clearly made an alliance with Li Fei, and attacking him now would be a violation of that alliance.

This alliance was signed by their own lifeblood, and they should have suffered a severe backlash.

However, Wenren sensed that the auras of these three strange beasts did not appear weak.

"Could it be because of the Aragami?"

The name flashed through Wenren Zheng's mind.

After encountering the crowd, his memories of the Wild God were never forgotten.

"The formidable enemy that Li Fei encountered is probably also related to the Desolate God."

Wenren Zheng already had a guess in his mind, but still asked through telepathy:
"why?"

The two enormous figures of the strange beasts crashed down to the ground from a height of tens of thousands of feet, like out-of-control meteorites.

Boom——!
The bone crashed heavily onto several mountain peaks, causing the mountains to collapse in large areas, like sand dunes crushed by a giant. Boulders rained down, and shockwaves swept out in a circular pattern.

A moment too slow for the crowd to react, it crashed into the depths of the forest below.

A dense forest spanning several miles vanished instantly, flattened, crushed, and reduced to dust by the sheer force of the impact.

A huge, circular crater covered with radial cracks appeared on the ground.

Smoke and dust obscured the sun, and broken stones and logs cascaded down like a waterfall, obscuring the view.

Neither of the two strange beasts spoke to Wenren Zheng, and the crowd had recovered, so they once again used [Heart Prison] on Wenren Zheng.

Just as Wenren Zheng had regained his footing and was about to continue his attack, his body suddenly stiffened again.

The scene that tore his heart apart once again brutally and incredibly 'real' occupied his entire mind!
Immediately afterwards, the void was torn apart again, and Xu Chihan manipulated the void storm to attack Wenren Zheng.

It is undeniable that "selflessness" is an extremely powerful principle, but it is mainly manifested in self-preservation.

Of course, with the [Selflessness], Xuchi Han can attack without holding back or worrying about its own safety, and can attack recklessly.

However, its attack still has a long way to go before it can break through Wenren Zheng's [Feng Huo Ji Sheng] defense head-on.

The damage caused by the spatial cutting shook the Martial Saint's body, forcing Wenren Zheng to break free from the descent into the [Heart Prison] once again.

This principle is similar to the Styx Ancestor's [Forgetful River], both belonging to the strong control type, but ultimately it is impossible to control a top-level expert indefinitely.

Once he regained his senses, Wenren Zheng didn't ask any more questions.

Since the other side has adopted a do-or-die stance, then let's fight!

The crimson-gold aura of the warrior swept across, once again attacking the crowd's gaze.

Wenren Zheng knew that Xuchi Han possessed the Dao of "Selflessness," so he never considered attacking him.

Apart from Li Fei, there is no other person in the world who can harm Xu Chihan in a short period of time.

The Fiend sliced ​​through the massive body of the crowd, and the aftershocks spread outwards. Several nearby mountain peaks were as if they had been cleaved in two by an invisible giant blade, rolling down the steep mountainside with a rumble. Smoke and dust rose into the sky, forming a huge mushroom cloud!
Gu Li once again activated his newly repaired tentacles to block, while simultaneously unleashing the [Myriad Thoughts Devouring Souls] domain in an attempt to disrupt Wenren Zheng's mind.

Xu Chihan also used the power of the void to protect everyone's eyes.

After everyone's gazes recovered, it activated [Heart Prison] again, causing Wenren Zheng to fall into an illusion.
Whether it's the Void Pool Clam or the Eyes of the Crowd, Wenren Zheng, whose cultivation has broken through, is confident that he can defeat any of the tenth-grade exotic beasts on his own.

However, facing two Rank 10 experts at the same time, with Gu Li assisting from the side, this siege was equally dangerous for Wenren Zheng.

His situation was not much better than that of Wang Chengze, who was thousands of miles away.
The capital city of Seferon.

Li Fei and Ning Qingman reunited, and the Martial Ancestor and the Sword Ancestor also stood together.

Just then, Li Fei received a message from Wenren Zheng via the remote communication device:

"I was attacked too! It was Xu Chi Han, Zhong Mou, and Gu Li!"

Li Fei's gaze sharpened, and he frowned.

In his perception, the oath he had made with Xu Chihan and Gu Li had not been touched at all, and the connection between them remained intact.

But clearly, the other party had somehow bypassed the oath without alerting Li Fei at all!

Li Fei looked up at the sky:
"It's Him again?"

Ning Qingman noticed the change in Li Fei's mood: "What's wrong?"

Li Fei told Wenren Zheng about the attack and then took Ning Qingman directly into the void.

He was going to take Ning Qingman to meet up with Wenren Zheng.

He worried that Wenren Zheng wouldn't be able to hold on by himself.

On the other side, Sword Ancestor slashed his iron sword in front of him, breaking through the void, and stepped into it together with Martial Ancestor, chasing after Li Fei and Ning Qingman!
In the void, Li Fei revealed the identities of Martial Ancestor and Sword Ancestor to Ning Qingman, and told her that the two were likely being controlled by the Desolate God.

"I think they should also have a certain degree of autonomy."

After listening, Ning Qingman shared her speculation.

Li Fei recalled the scene where Martial Ancestor was willing to endure the backlash to remind him, and seemed to be deep in thought:
"Indeed, they should have some autonomy, but they are unlikely to cross the line in the big picture."

Ning Qingman: "If the Martial Ancestor and the Sword Ancestor had gone to kill Wenren Zheng with the Xuchi Han and the other strange beasts first, Wenren Zheng would definitely be dead. Then, when they came to kill us together, their success rate would have been much higher."

But they didn't do that.

The fear of alerting the enemy was part of the reason, but I believe the bigger reason was the choice made by the Martial Ancestor and the Sword Ancestor themselves.

Li Fei nodded: "You're right. It's a pity we can't help them break free from the control of the Wild God."

"Moreover, I saw a total of five people in the illusion left by the Buddha. We can only confirm that the Dao Ancestor has reached the pinnacle and is sealing the Desolate God. As for the remaining four, the Martial Ancestor and the Sword Ancestor have appeared, as well as the Buddha and a woman. We don't know what their situation is."
