Chapter 418
422. Chapter 421: End of Dharma World
Fortunately, everything went smoothly, and Li Yi successfully used the three strange items to open the cross-dimensional gate and successfully escaped the Golden Academy.
This was a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters.
Nearby, there were villages similar to those in ancient times, with blue bricks and gray tiles, and curling smoke from kitchen chimneys. In the fields in the distance, one could even see farmers leading water buffaloes working. The mountains in the distance were undulating, and the air was filled with the fragrance of grass and trees. This place seemed like a paradise without strife.
"Is this the End-of-Dharma cultivation world?" Li Yi was somewhat suspicious.
It didn't look like it.
He really wanted to feel the surrounding cosmic energy, but at this moment, his soul gave a warning, and a crisis appeared from behind.
"Hmm?"
Li Yi's expression changed suddenly, and his figure instantly disappeared from where he was, increasing the distance.
Then he looked back.
He saw that where he had just been, a Daoist wearing a Daoist robe had appeared out of nowhere. This Daoist soared into the air, riding a flying sword, full of anger and murderous intent.
"An immortal cultivator from the Profound Immortal Continent... and a Jin Dan cultivator at that. He actually followed at the last moment when the cross-dimensional gate closed?" Li Yi then realized the severity of the problem and his gaze immediately turned gloomy.
Zhang Yihua scanned the surroundings with his spiritual sense and immediately sneered: "Want to cross dimensions and run away? Dream on. This Daoist won't let you run away so easily. Honestly hand over Tai Xianweng's Glazed Profound Light Mirror, as well as the other spirit artifacts and treasures on your body. Considering that your Earth is looked after by gods, this Daoist will leave you a whole corpse."
"Don't worry, this Daoist won't let you be exposed in the wilderness. I just looked at this place; the soil is fertile, full of vitality, and the mountain veins are like a dragon. Being buried here will definitely protect your descendants and bring them great wealth and nobility."
Li Yi also said without any politeness: "Since this graveyard is so good, you should keep it for your own enjoyment. I am still young, and my future is boundless, so I don't need it."
"Whether you need it or not is not up to you to decide, but up to this Daoist." Zhang Yihua's gaze was cold and full of murderous intent. He was not in a hurry to make a move because this was no longer the Golden Academy, and Li Yi couldn't run away. He was just a little curious about what kind of world this was.
Why did Li Yi choose to run into this world?
Sun Boxiu, serving as Vice Dean, saw this scene and felt disappointment in his eyes. He sighed helplessly and immediately waved his hand through the air; the defeated, severely wounded, and unconscious Luo Tianyou flew directly into the Golden Hall.
Or was there something special about this world?
However, after some observation, he did not find anything special here, and there were no traces of cultivators nearby. It was evident that this Li Yi in front of him had not planned this cross-dimensional leap but was just grabbing at straws in a panic, crossing dimensions randomly.
Li Yi's gaze also flickered at this moment, and he prepared for a fight.
He knew that this Jin Dan cultivator would not let him go, and if he didn't find a way to fight him off, he would only die in this End-of-Dharma cultivation world.
"A Jin Dan cultivator is stronger in terms of strength than the Spirit Power Realm experts of the Golden Academy, but this is an End-of-Dharma cultivation world where cosmic energy is almost exhausted. It is difficult for an immortal cultivator's strength to be exerted here, so I might not be without a chance to kill him." Li Yi made a plan in his heart because he had fought with immortal cultivators and knew their advantages and disadvantages.
Thinking of this.
His storage artifact lit up immediately.
Instantly, a Thunder Fighter was released.
"Lan Ji, control the Thunder Fighter to provide high-altitude fire support. The target is this dog Daoist in front of me." Li Yi immediately gave the order.
"Understood, Master." Lan Ji's voice came from the Thunder Fighter.
This is the benefit of fourth-generation artificial intelligence; it can directly back up the Thunder Fighter's intelligent system into Lan Ji No. 2. Although the computing power is not as good as the original, it can ensure that the authority of the Thunder Fighter is always in Li Yi's hands and will not be suddenly tampered with.
"Don't even think about it."
Zhang Yihua shouted suddenly upon seeing this. How could he let Li Yi release such a great killing weapon? He immediately waved his sword finger, and a high-grade spirit artifact sword instantly turned into a stream of light, heading straight for the fighter, determined to cut it down before the Thunder Fighter could take off.
"Dog Daoist, what's the rush? The contest between us has only just begun." Li Yi's silver pupils flickered violently. Under the warning of his soul, he rushed over directly, trying to intercept the flying sword. As long as the Thunder Fighter successfully took off, he would always have the advantage.
But Li Yi was fast, and the flying sword was faster.
After all, he was a Jin Dan cultivator, and he was not in the same league as that Lin Caiyi from before. In just a blink of an eye, the flying sword had already arrived beside the Thunder Fighter. At this moment, the Thunder Fighter was starting its engine and accelerating, unable to resist the attack of the flying sword.
However, at this moment, the cry of a strange beast echoed.
Shanyi flapped its wings and attacked, its sharp claws flashing with a faint silver radiance, grabbing the flying sword. This strange beast from the savage world erupted with unimaginable power at this moment because it also knew very clearly that if the Thunder Fighter were destroyed, this battle would be very dangerous; it must protect this Thunder Fighter from being destroyed.
"A spirit beast with Foundation Establishment cultivation dares to touch a Jin Dan cultivator's flying sword? You're courting death."
Zhang Yihua couldn't help but be angry. He used his spiritual sense to control the flying sword to change direction immediately, piercing directly through Shanyi's body, and then headed straight for the Thunder Fighter.
Shanyi cried out in sorrow, fresh blood sprayed, and it was heavily injured, barely able to keep its flight steady. If it weren't for the fact that this Jin Dan cultivator's target was the Thunder Fighter, it would have died directly from this sword.
The Thunder Fighter was subsequently pierced through as well.
The hard armor could not resist the sharpness of the high-grade magic sword at all. However, fortunately, the Thunder Fighter was large enough, and this Jin Dan cultivator did not understand the structure of the Thunder Fighter. Although the fighter was pierced, it did not affect its flight. Accompanied by the roar of the fighter's engine, its speed increased, and it immediately broke the sound barrier and flew away at extreme speed.
Zhang Yihua wanted to make another move, but it was already too late.
Li Yi's two brilliant silver blade auras had already slashed over.
"Petty tricks." Zhang Yihua snorted with disdain. His magic power turned into a shield to protect his front, easily blocking the slash of these two blade auras.
"Forget it. If the fighter flies away, let it fly. Cutting you down is the same."
He controlled the flying sword again, heading straight for Li Yi. And this time, he knew Li Yi's trump cards and wouldn't be stupid enough to cut his body; instead, he wanted to cut off his head. Even as a Jin Dan cultivator holding a high-grade spirit artifact flying sword, he had no confidence in taking down that Dragon Armor.
Li Yi's soul gave a crazy warning at this moment, and his silver pupils couldn't even capture the trajectory of the flying sword.
It was too fast.
The gap in realms was too large; he was simply no match.
"Retreat!"
At this moment, the Thunder Fighter had already taken off. Li Yi didn't need to fight to the death with this Zhang Yihua. His silver Qi and blood soared into the sky, and he flew away at the fastest speed, quickly increasing the distance from him.
"Want to leave now? Too late." Zhang Yihua revealed a somewhat excited smile.
As long as he cut down this Li Yi, all his treasures would belong to him.
The high-grade flying sword arrived later but reached first, instantly catching up to Li Yi. Under the lock of his spiritual sense, the opponent had nowhere to hide. Then, a cold light flashed, wanting to slice off his head with one sword.
However, the situation he imagined did not appear. The high-grade spirit sword slashed down, but it emitted a sound of metal clashing.
"What?" Zhang Yihua's smile stiffened, and then he became furious: "Damn little thief."
He saw a phantom of a Profound Turtle appear in front of Li Yi, protecting him and blocking this fatal blow.
This was the Profound Turtle Shell.
It was the spoils of war he obtained from Lin Caiyi after killing her before. Because its owner was already dead, Li Yi could easily claim it as his own. Using it at this moment played a crucial role, blocking the fatal attack of the Jin Dan stage cultivator.
"Stunned, aren't you? I have high-grade spirit artifacts too." Li Yi mocked.
The benefit of a spirit artifact over the Dragon Armor is that it can provide all-around defense without blind spots, but the disadvantage is that it requires the cosmic energy within Li Yi's body. Without cosmic energy supply, a high-grade spirit artifact is just a display piece with no use.
"You, a Foundation Establishment cultivator, how long can you maintain a high-grade spirit artifact? This Daoist can exhaust you to death." Zhang Yihua attacked again, controlling the flying sword to attack Li Yi continuously, trying to exhaust all his strength in this way.
"Then let's see who exhausts whom." Li Yi shouted loudly at this moment: "Lan Ji, fire!"
The Thunder Fighter, which had already flown to high altitude, opened all its gun ports. After locking onto Zhang Yihua, beams of energy light shot out immediately.
Zhang Yihua scanned with his spiritual sense and dodged several attacks in succession. When he encountered attacks he couldn't dodge, the Daoist robe on his body immediately lit up with rays of light, turning into a Bagua diagram to block the attack.
The Daoist robe on his body was not just for show; it was itself a high-grade defensive spirit artifact, making it easy to block such attacks.
But the Thunder Fighter did not stop its attack because of this; instead, energy beams poured down continuously, determined to consume all of the opponent's magic power.
So what if he is a Jin Dan stage cultivator? As long as his magic power is exhausted, he will still be reduced to a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
"Damn it."
Zhang Yihua withstood the artillery fire, knowing that this battle must be decided quickly, and he couldn't care about the consumption of magic power. A pale golden rope suddenly flew out from his sleeve. This rope swam like a spirit snake, and in just a blink of an eye, it flew to Li Yi's side.
"Bind!"
Zhang Yihua pinched a magic seal, and the golden rope immediately shook and transformed into a golden snake, directly entangling the fleeing Li Yi.
Li Yi was immediately entangled in place and unable to move, but fortunately, with the protection of the Profound Turtle Shell, his life was temporarily safe.
"This Daoist knows you are not afraid of thunder magic. Today, I will use the Samadhi True Fire to completely refine you."
Zhang Yihua immediately opened his mouth and spat, and a three-colored flame condensed into shape. Then he blew again, and the Samadhi True Fire grew in the wind, instantly turning into a sea of fire and covering him.
However, when this sea of fire arrived beside Li Yi, it weakened at an unimaginable speed. By the time it actually reached him, only a small flame remained, and even when the wind blew, this small flame was extinguished.
"Haha, you want to burn me to death with this little flame?" Li Yi couldn't help but laugh loudly.
Zhang Yihua's face turned red instantly. He discovered the reason for the problem.
In this world, spiritual energy is almost extinct, and all spells have no effect here. The previous duel relied entirely on his own magic power as a Jin Dan cultivator. Once it is exhausted and cannot be replenished, he will likely be reduced to a mere mortal.
Boom! Boom!
While speaking, the Thunder Fighter's attack came again.
Zhang Yihua immediately used his spirit artifact to block it, and he roared: "Thief, even if spells are useless, this Daoist can still kill you."
As he spoke, he took out two pills, swallowed one directly, and held one in his mouth to replenish his magic power at any time.
This was to prevent a situation where his own consumption was too great and his magic power was insufficient.
Li Yi raised his eyebrows at this scene, never expecting the opponent to be so cautious, eating two pills before his magic power was even used up. If this continued, he didn't know how long it would take. The number of pills carried in a Jin Dan cultivator's storage spirit artifact must be quite large.
"You have supplements, and I have them too."
He was not to be outdone and took out the Seven-Colored Stone. Cosmic energy immediately flowed, filling the surroundings. Then he pinched a magic seal, absorbing all the overflowing cosmic energy into his body to maintain the operation of the high-grade spirit artifact.
Zhang Yihua's eyes widened suddenly upon seeing this, not expecting Li Yi to have such a trick.
"Damn it." He was furious again and controlled the flying sword to continue attacking Li Yi.
But it was to no avail.
In the Profound Immortal world, flying swords of the same grade cannot break defensive spirit artifacts. It is precisely because of this that the value of defensive spirit artifacts is higher than that of offensive spirit artifacts of the same level.
Zhang Yihua felt hatred in his heart. Previously, Lin Caiyi was defeated and the Profound Turtle Shell was taken, but now it had become a foreshadowing aimed at himself.
Moreover, there is no spiritual energy in this world, his spells are useless, and his strength is greatly reduced. It is not easy to take down this Li Yi for a while. The worst thing is that this little thief holds a Seven-Colored Stone that provides a steady stream of spiritual energy, so he is not afraid of consumption at all.
However, Li Yi is not a person who just takes a beating without fighting back.
"Needle of the Flying Eye."
His mind moved at this moment, and a divine needle was released. The divine needle rotated like a sharp knife, instantly cutting off this golden snake.
The mid-grade spirit artifact Binding Demon Rope was destroyed, Zhang Yihua's spiritual sense was damaged, his body swayed, and a wisp of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
Li Yi succeeded in one strike, and the divine needle chased after the opponent's flying sword again.
"Damn it." Zhang Yihua was shocked and quickly controlled the flying sword to retreat.
If the high-grade flying sword were destroyed, it would be a disaster.
"Jin Dan cultivator, that's all you are." Li Yi had to withdraw the divine needle upon seeing this, but he mocked him again.
"Little thief, hateful." Zhang Yihua felt a wave of frustration in addition to his anger.
