Chapter 796: Battle of Body Integration

The next day, at dawn!

He Pingsheng opened his eyes from a cave deep within a valley.

He let out a deep sigh: Good, those people probably can't find me anymore!

I killed six of them in one go; they must know my combat strength by now—unlikely they'll come bothering me again.

Perfect!

I'll sleep in this cave for a few days, then walk out directly.

Too lazy to fight over any stone steles anymore.

Thinking this, He Pingsheng subtly shifted his spiritual sense, turning inward.

He looked toward the Treasure Basin inside his body.

Inside the Treasure Basin, there was one item!

It was a talisman: Five-Five Split!

Too bad, after a whole night, it was still Five-Five Split—still only one!

That means it wasn't successfully enhanced.

This…

He Pingsheng was startled—somewhat disappointed, yet somewhat pleased.

Disappointed because he felt he had a real need for this item, and would soon use it—but it hadn't been enhanced.

Pleased because the lack of enhancement proved the item's true high rank.

Wait!

When I reach Body Integration, I'll enhance it then!

He took out the Five-Five Split talisman and tossed a vial of pills into the basin.

These pills were called 【Offering to the Divine Pill】, crafted by He Pingsheng himself during the earlier contest, and required enhancement.

Once enhanced to supreme grade, even if his spiritual sense was depleted, one pill would instantly restore it fully.

The Offering to the Divine Pill was only sixth-rank, so enhancement would certainly work.

He pulled out the Dao Refining Heavenly Stele and continued refining his Dao techniques.

Yet, just after He Pingsheng had begun refining his Dao for a short while, a powerful spiritual sense surged violently into his cave.

So strong was this spiritual sense that it triggered the automatic defense of the 【Purple Mansion Nine Shields Method】 in his mind.

"This…" He Pingsheng snapped open his eyes, instantly stowing the Dao Refining Heavenly Stele, stepped with his foot, and flew out of the cave, standing in midair.

Far off, on the horizon!

On the peak of a massive mountain stood a giant.

No…

Better to say—it was a colossal bird.

A thousand zhang wide, its entire body overflowed with surging flames, crimson fire erupting and igniting trees and forests within a thousand-zhang radius.

Phoenix Clan!

The immense aura from the Phoenix Clan pressed upon He Pingsheng, making his body tremble slightly.

He Pingsheng turned his neck slightly, glancing behind him!

Likewise, on another mountain peak a thousand zhang behind, another colossal phoenix stood.

The two phoenixes were identical in appearance.

"I understand!" He Pingsheng said calmly: "To kill me, you've gone to great lengths—slipping in clones to merge with the Dao, and you've just now reached Body Integration, haven't you?"

"Correct!" The colossal crimson phoenix replied: "We entered Body Integration last night!"

"So what?"

"Do you think this Body Integration cultivator can't kill a mere Void Refinement?"

"He Pingsheng… I admit you're strong—peerless in your realm!"

"But I don't believe you can stand against a Body Integration cultivator!"

"Especially two Body Integration cultivators!"

He Pingsheng said nothing, but secretly activated his 【Void Swift Movement】 technique.

Indeed!

Useless!

The space here had been sealed by some powerful force.

And with his current spiritual sense strength, he could sense the depth of this sealing.

The force sealing the void came from a thousand li away!

Though He Pingsheng couldn't see what lay a thousand li distant, based on yesterday's experience, he could guess—Kongkong Crown Prince was disrupting the rules here with spatial power, preventing him from properly using Void Swift Movement.

After all, the Kongkong Beast Clan excels in spatial laws.

Not surprising!

"Nirvana Rift Space…"

The colossal divine phoenix atop the mountain suddenly rose, spreading its wings and blotting out half the sky!

Then He Pingsheng saw a colossal, despair-inducing sapphire claw reaching through the air toward him.

This strike not only sealed the void, but also froze time!

Another pressure unique to Body Integration descended like an endless ocean, layer upon layer.

Against an ordinary prodigy, this strike would have killed or crippled them instantly.

Too bad, his opponent was He Pingsheng.

He Pingsheng hesitated for less than half a breath—then a certain power erupted from his body.

Whoosh…

He activated the Three Thousand Thundering Method, instantly shifting a hundred zhang sideways.

A hundred zhang may seem short, but it was enough to evade the claw's attack.

The colossal sapphire claw struck empty air, missing He Pingsheng, and slammed violently into the valley below where he had been meditating.

Instantly, the entire valley turned upside down, the earth rippling like waves.

A few breaths later, a thunderous boom erupted—cracks shattered, dust rose thickly, and beneath the dense smoke, molten magma churned, visible and hidden.

A Body Integration strike—shatters mountains, splits seas—its power boundless.

"Again!"

The colossal phoenix, brimming with arrogance, unleashed another identical technique toward He Pingsheng.

He Pingsheng didn't move—he still dodged using the Three Thousand Thundering Method.

But barely had he dodged when the phoenix's clone struck simultaneously.

The same technique tore toward He Pingsheng.

As if meticulously calculated, the second attack landed precisely where He Pingsheng had just moved to.

This time, he couldn't dodge—he was slammed by immense force straight into the valley floor.

He Pingsheng was driven directly into the churning magma below.

Yet, less than two breaths later, he flew out of the magma, standing again in midair.

At this moment, his body bore not a single wound.

"You're not dead?" Feng Wu narrowed his eyes: "Not even injured?"

He Pingsheng said: "Feathered beast, what are you, to think you can wound me?"

Seeing He Pingsheng so invincible, Feng Wu instantly turned into a streak of light and fled.

Are you kidding?

If you can't even break his defense, what are you waiting for?

Why stay?

He's already invincible.

"Want to run?" He Pingsheng smiled, and seven divine nails flew from his mind-sea.

Seven green divine nails.

Technique: Formless North Star Nails!

Technique: Ten Thousand Corrosive Attachment!

These seven spiritual nails carried deadly poison, hurtling toward the phoenix.

"Again!"

Shiiii… shiiii… shiiii…

Another seven identical green nails flew toward Feng Wu's clone.

With his current spiritual sense strength, he could launch only two full spiritual attacks.

But it didn't matter!

Soon, he swallowed a supreme-grade 【Offering to the Divine Pill】.
