This martial saint's health bar is too thick

Chapter 702 Ascending to Heaven
"I thought I would never have the chance to try this route until the end of the Western Expedition, but I never expected to actually encounter it."

Li Fei spread his hands to Ning Qingman, "I always feel that there is a destiny at play, which has made me always make progress through danger."

Ning Qingman forced a smile: "Then it seems like fate is really targeting you."

"Hahahaha-"

Li Fei burst into laughter, laughing heartily.

Ning Qingman looked at him intently and asked, "What do you plan to do?"

Li Fei stopped laughing and slowly said:

"Several surrendered dukes mentioned a place—the Mor Plain."

"This place is jointly guarded by the three great powers. There is a forbidden area that the three great powers have studied for many years but have not been able to figure out. I have read through the history of the Western Continent and this place is the only one that is somewhat strange. It may be related to the Wild God."

"I plan to go to that forbidden area on the Mor Plain to gather some intelligence."

Ning Qingman: "I'll go with you."

Li Fei looked at her and gently shook his head: "Your going will distract me."

"."

Ning Qingman pursed her lips and remained silent.

Since the situation on the Moer Plain is currently uncertain, Wenren Zheng and the two Imperial Guards will definitely need to stay behind to prevent their base from being raided.

It would be best if Ning Qingman could stay as well, so that even if the Martial Ancestor and Xu Chi Han, who were at their peak, attacked together, the royal city would not be without the power to resist.

Moreover, Li Fei's purpose in going there this time was not primarily to gather intelligence, but to seek a breakthrough.

Therefore, if Ning Qingman goes with him, it will actually hinder his breakthrough.

If they were really in danger, he would only think about getting Ning Qingman away as quickly as possible, not staying behind to fight to the death.

Ning Qingman had a thousand words she wanted to say to Li Fei, but when she met Li Fei's eyes, she couldn't say a word.

She knows him too well now that they've known each other.

In fact, Li Fei could have taken things slowly, retreating his troops back to his country first, and then coming to the Western Continent after Dao Ze's injuries had healed.

Alternatively, one could rely on the Dao Domain to pursue the path of combining magic and martial arts, attempting to break through to the pinnacle.

But if we continue to wait, we may witness the resurgence of the Aragami.

Choosing to return to China now would pose a greater risk to the Great Blue Dynasty and even to all of humanity!

Choosing to go to the Mor Plains now would pose a greater risk to Li Fei personally.

For Li Fei, the answer to how to choose has always been clear.

He has always been this kind of person, and this situation is indeed in line with the 'path' he wants to take.

"Don't worry, you might not even encounter anything when you go."

Li Fei laughed.

Ning Qingman turned her head away, not wanting to speak.

Even if he encounters nothing on the Mor Plains this time, Li Fei will definitely choose to continue his advance and sweep across the Western Continent as quickly as possible.

In order to improve speed and efficiency, Li Fei will definitely lead an army by himself and take on the greatest risks.

It's not much different from the current situation.

"Then I'll go."

Li Fei said.

Ning Qingman was taken aback: "Now?"

Li Fei: "I've already spoken to Wenren Zheng about it."

Ning Qingman then realized that Li Fei had waited here specifically to say goodbye to her.

"Tch, making it sound like a life-or-death situation. When did you start liking this kind of thing?"

Ning Qingman glared at him.

"Haha, no, I just think the night view is beautiful tonight."

Li Fei pointed to the moon in the sky.

Ning Qingman followed his fingertip and unconsciously held her breath.

A full moon, like a jade plate polished smooth by time, hangs quietly in the dark blue sky.

The two stood on a pile of ruins.

The crumbling walls cast large, mottled shadows at our feet, like lurking beasts. Yet the full moon generously showered down its clear light, the moonlight like a soft veil, gently covering the dilapidated beams and broken tiles, blurring the sharp edges and gilding them with a lonely yet tender silver edge.

A night breeze swept by, carrying the scents of earth and grass, and also fluttered Ning Qingman's clothes.

She felt as if the moonlight had gained warmth, its cool touch touching her skin, and an indescribable emotion welled up within her.

She suddenly leaned forward, as fast as she drew her sword, yet as light as a fleeting, trembling sensation in the moonlight.

Her cool lips, carrying her unique scent, touched Li Fei's lips swiftly and lightly, like a flash of sword light in the moonlight.

Li Fei was stunned.

This was definitely not the fastest sword strike he had ever encountered.

He could certainly have reacted, but he just didn't react at all.

At this moment, the number one person in the world stood there dumbfounded, like a fool.

Ning Qingman had retreated to her original position, her face slightly turned to the side, the moonlight casting a faint halo around her delicate features.

Something in the air seemed to be stirred by that fleeting, phantom-like kiss.

The flowing moonlight created subtle, invisible ripples that spread silently, over the ruins, over the silence, and all the way to the softest part of the heart.

Li Fei turned around and took a step.

The two silhouettes merged together again.

The wind stopped for a moment.

The moonlight is beautiful tonight.

Moer Plain.

The security measures deployed by the three major powers here are still in place, but they are practically useless to Li Fei.

He crossed the cordon without a care in the world and quietly arrived at the restricted area in the center, where he saw the stone forest.

These stone pillars were neither made of gold nor stone, and Li Fei did not sense any special aura from them.

He walked into the stone forest and soon passed through it, arriving at the empty area in the middle.

The towering stone pillars that once reached into the clouds are gone. The illusion that existed for hundreds of years has never appeared again since the day the Martial Ancestor and the Sword Ancestor descended.

Li Fei had learned about the situation here beforehand from several dukes and knew that there was originally an illusion here.

He looked up at the sky; the bright moon hung high, cold and desolate.

The next second, Li Fei disappeared from the spot.

A dark shadow appeared high in the sky and flew upwards at an extremely fast speed!

As you pass through the clouds, the surrounding air becomes increasingly thin.

Li Fei's strongest move is called "Ignorance of the Sky's Height," and he truly doesn't know how high the sky is in this world.
It wasn't until he began exploring the limits of the heavens that he suddenly realized:
"I don't think I've ever thought about this question before."

As a time traveler, Li Fei had never thought of exploring the composition of this world.

Is this also a planet?

What's outside the planet?
It wasn't until he arrived at the forbidden zone of the Mor Plain and saw this stone forest, and thought of that towering, seemingly endless illusion, that Li Fei decided for the first time to explore the limits of the sky.

"Why is this happening? Could it be that my subconscious mind has also been influenced by the Aragami? Does the Aragami not want the people of this world to explore it?"

Li Fei thought to himself.

Then he thought of the Abyss and the Sea Abyss, both of which were related to the Desolate God.

"The limits of the earth and the limits of the sky may both lead to the same place?"

"Is it possible that the Abyss and the Sea Abyss are actually connected? Is there also a Dao Ancestor's seal beneath the Sea Abyss?"

In that instant, Li Fei thought of many things.

He transformed himself into a sword, flying through the air with lightning speed. Over the past few centuries, the three great powers have sent countless powerful figures to this place to attempt to 'ascend to heaven,' but all have ultimately failed.

The reason is——

The limits of the heavens have not yet been reached, but the limits of the human body have been reached first.

After flying for a while, Li Fei noticed something unusual. This feeling was the same as when he tried to get close to the Dao Ancestor's seal at the bottom of the Abyss.

Even though it was only a short distance, it seemed to stretch into the distance.

The space is constantly being 'stretched'!
Having had a similar experience before, and possessing the [Distance-Free] supernatural power, Li Fei has a very keen sense of space.

He realized that if his flight speed fell below a certain 'standard', he might remain 'stationary' and be unable to catch up with the 'stretched' space.

Even the strongest experts cannot maintain high-speed flight continuously. The depletion of the world's vital energy, the damage to implants within the body, and so on are all problems.

This is also why the Western Continent has always failed over the past few centuries.

But none of these are problems for Li Fei!
With his [Material Refinement] supernatural power, he can refine blood souls into any energy source he needs.

The automatic recovery of [Blood Breath] is sufficient to compensate for the consumption of Blood Soul.

In other words, as long as Li Fei's mental will holds up, he can be a 'perpetual motion machine' without engaging in high-intensity combat!
Li Fei knew he couldn't truly be in perpetual motion; he had experienced the feeling of his mental will being stretched to its limit before.

However, he was not nearly as good as he is now back then.

Now, he wants to see which will be reached first: the limits of the heavens or his own.
Upwards, ever upwards.
The moonlight was broken up among the clouds, turning into millions of shimmering points of light.

Li Fei lowered his head, no longer able to see the world below.

Only a vast, shimmering sea of ​​clouds, bathed in moonlight, appeared silvery-gray and softly tranquil.

At that moment, he suddenly felt an utter loneliness.

In the vast expanse of heaven and earth, it seemed as if only his conscious soul remained.

Continuing upwards, even the sea of ​​clouds could no longer be seen.

The wind picked up, and the world before us seemed wider than ever before!
The loneliness was quickly overshadowed by a greater sense of freedom and liberation.

Li Fei looked up at the bright moon overhead, which seemed almost within reach. He opened his palm, letting the moonlight flow quietly through his hand like cool mercury.

He suddenly laughed, feeling more cheerful than ever before.

Riding the wind between heaven and earth, soaring ten thousand miles into the clouds.

I roam freely in the vast天地 (heaven and earth), I am not a god but I am still arrogant.

Without even being trapped in a desperate situation, merely by exploring the limits of the heavens, Li Fei took a step towards his own 'Dao' and vaguely found an opportunity for a breakthrough!

Doing one thing for a long time can easily make people lose their sense of time.

After an unknown amount of time, Li Fei felt the world around him suddenly change.

The bright moon disappeared, replaced by an enormous bronze gate that stood majestically in the sky.

It has no top, no bottom, and no boundaries, as if it has existed since time immemorial!
Li Fei had also seen the same bronze gate in the deepest part of the Abyss.

The difference is that the bronze gate beneath the abyss bears the seal of the Three Pure Ones Dao Diagram left by the Dao Ancestor.

In the center of the two bronze doors located at the edge of the sky in front of Li Fei, there is a huge '卍' character.

Boundless light is contained within it, and faint chanting emanates from it, gradually bringing peace to one's mind.

"Buddha's seal?!"

Li Fei's pupils contracted.

"So, at the ends of Heaven and Earth, Buddha and Tao are respectively responsible for sealing one end?"

"If that's the case, then what about Jingheng?"

"Buddha and the Aragami have cooperated?"

"."

Li Fei's thoughts were somewhat confused.

Suddenly, a flash of light appeared before his eyes.

A figure appeared out of thin air a hundred meters away.

Li Fei looked solemn, his hands clenched into fists.

The newcomer was shirtless, exuding a powerful aura with bulging muscles, bearing more than a dozen grotesque scars that emanated different mysterious auras.

It was none other than the Martial Ancestor!

Li Fei looked up at the bronze gate above.

Although he hadn't seen it clearly, he sensed it very clearly—

That beam of light clearly came from inside the door!
"Kid, so eager to get yourself killed?"

Martial Ancestor looked at Li Fei, his eyes filled with regret, struggle, and hatred!

Li Fei was also sizing up Wu Zu, noticing a new 'scar' on the other's body.

This 'scar' also exudes the aura of a tenth-grade exotic beast—

"Void Pond Clam!"

Li Fei narrowed his eyes: "You swallowed it?"

Martial Ancestor patted the new 'scar' on his chest and grinned menacingly:
"Yes, I thought that acknowledging my ancestors would bring me a bright future, but I never expected to become my prey."

Li Fei sneered.

Xuchi Clam undoubtedly knew how to protect itself.

From the initial Great Battle of the Abyss to the later Battle of the Western Buddhist Kingdom.

Then came the battle on the Western Continent.

It always manages to escape unscathed.

Unexpectedly, they ended up walking right into a trap.

"It didn't have to die, but it didn't expect you to come and die on your own."

"That's what the Martial Ancestor said."

Li Fei understood the unspoken meaning behind the other party's words.

"It seems that the God of Desolation did not initially intend for the Martial Ancestor to use [Beast Devouring] to devour the Void Pool Clam."

"But I explored the ends of the heavens alone while my injuries were not fully healed, which gave the Aragami an opportunity."

"In other words, even the Desolate God cannot quickly recover from injuries at the Dao level; he can only have the Martial Ancestor devour the Void Pool Clam to accelerate the recovery."

"Moreover, even now, the other side has only sent out the Martial Ancestor. Perhaps this is the strongest measure they can use."

In the blink of an eye, Li Fei had already connected many ideas.

"Why come here of all places? How foolish!"

The Martial Ancestor shook his head.

When he appeared, Li Fei had already sensed that the surrounding space had subtly changed.

The Sword Ancestor, who was skilled in the Way of Space, is dead. Now that the Desolate God has sent the Martial Ancestor, it means that Li Fei will probably find it difficult to avoid battle or escape in this place.

"Did Buddha cooperate with the Aragami?"

Li Fei asked, trying to get information out of the Martial Ancestor.

"Buddha? Which monk are you talking about?"

Martial Ancestor shook his head, "You'll know once you beat me."

Li Fei looked at the man and asked, "Is there no other way to save you?"

"save?"

Martial Ancestor's eyes gradually turned blood red, and a primal, ancient bestiality emanated from him, unleashing a torrent of killing intent and ferocity.

"Kill me, and you'll have saved me!"

Judging from the aura he exuded, not only had his injuries healed, but he had also absorbed another portion of the Dao principles, further enhancing his strength!
Li Fei's condition at this time was far from his peak, and the gap between the two was huge.

This was indeed the desperate situation he wanted.
