Chapter 458
In the air, the clear, spiritual light emitted by the ancient bronze mirror gradually gathered into a ball of light with a diameter of a hundred meters.
Inside the ball of light, cranes, jade buildings and towers, palaces, and so on, kept flickering.
Outside the ball of light, wild winds, thunder, heavy rain, and blood mist created an apocalyptic scene!
This was two array formations confronting each other.
In the air not far away, a black dragon whose body had grown to over six hundred meters was summoning wind and rain, accompanied by thunder, spraying blood fiend from its blood-red maw, and entangling with hundreds of streaks of sword light.
On the ground, a huge blood-colored vortex was deeply embedded in the earth, creating a large pit over thirty meters deep.
A streak of purple blade aura sliced it open from inside the vortex; the next second, twelve beast souls appeared around the vortex, then shattered one by one, pouring their power into the blood-colored vortex.
The sliced-open blood-colored vortex immediately restored itself.
The beast-transformed Wuri Wuri Tianji was fighting three with one, simultaneously holding back three Heavenly Capital-level powerhouses!
These three—two Heavenly Gang level and one Spirit Derivation realm—were none of them ordinary Heavenly Capital powerhouses.
If it were Nomuhan, even fighting three with one, he could hold them back for a long time, but Wuri Wuri Tianji's strength and realm at this moment were traded for by beast-transformation and did not truly belong to his own power, so he was inevitably clumsy in his application.
And Zhang Zhang Chengbi was a peak top-tier True Person of the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend Great Perfection before his death; although his realm was gone, his vision and experience remained.
Therefore, the ancient bronze mirror could shoot out a streak of clear, spiritual light from time to time to interfere with Boerhu and Nomuhan, helping Bai Yan recover some of his declining momentum.
Higher up in the air, that Hun-Yuan Luo-Tian Disk was flashing with light.
Others might not have noticed yet, but Boerhu, who was being specifically targeted, had already felt the subtle changes in Bai Yan's attacks.
If this dragged on, in ten minutes at most, perhaps it would be Bai Yan suppressing him and fighting!
A stalemate had formed again among several top-tier powerhouses.
Now it was once again up to the middle-tier and even low-tier martial artists to change the situation.
A blood shadow charged toward Li Fei; when they were still over fifty meters apart, eighteen different phantom images of exotic beasts suddenly appeared around Li Fei.
The next second, the heaven and earth before Li Fei's eyes changed:
Above the snowfield, snow flew across the sky, a vast expanse of white, with no end in sight.
The extreme cold was bone-piercing; even though Li Fei was wearing the Gold-Thread Jade Red Qilin Armor and was in the Sword State: Golden Body and Jade Marrow, he still felt cold and weak, and his strength, True Power, and Blood Rage power were all flowing away rapidly!
Roar—
A beast roar that shook the snowfield came from afar, and Li Fei turned his head to look.
He saw an 'iceberg' several thousand meters away suddenly move; countless accumulated snow and broken ice rolled down, and this 'iceberg' shook its body, directly triggering an avalanche!
As the avalanche swept over from afar, Li Fei also saw the true face of this 'iceberg':
It was a white-furred ape standing a thousand meters tall!
The ape had three eyes, its gaze cruel and bloodthirsty, looking toward Li Fei's side.
At this time, the 'snow tide' triggered by the avalanche was getting closer and closer to Li Fei, and the height of the 'snow tide' had already exceeded a hundred meters.
Facing such a heaven and earth phenomenon, Li Fei's expression was calm.
Without a doubt, this was a small heaven and earth, and it was jointly constructed by four supernatural powers!
Within this small heaven and earth, Li Fei could unleash 【No Distance】, but his own movement distance was reduced from a hundred meters to only thirty meters, and he could not directly leave this small heaven and earth.
【Hun-Tian Golden Palace】 could also continue to absorb heaven and earth Qi, but its speed and efficiency were reduced by fifty percent.
The small heaven and earth unleashed by this Ba-Du powerhouse was equivalent to simulating the prototype of a Martial Arts Domain in advance, making it so that although this small heaven and earth could not directly forbid Li Fei's supernatural power, it could already form a certain suppression!
Such a combination of supernatural power methods made Li Fei's eyes light up, and he gained inspiration.
He let the 'snow tide' submerge him; immediately following, the 'snow tide' was cut off in the middle, as if it had crashed into an invisible iceberg, forced to divert.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The ground shook one time after another; in the distance, the thousand-meter-tall three-eyed snow ape took steps to charge toward Li Fei, every step making the entire snowfield tremble.
Soon, the three-eyed snow ape crossed the distance of several thousand meters, charged to Li Fei's front, then lifted a right leg and heavily stepped down toward Li Fei!
The three-eyed snow ape was a thousand meters tall; even a single foot was as large as a mountain peak, descending from the sky.
Li Fei did not dodge or evade, gripped the Ghost-Slaying Blade with both hands, raised the blade to slash upward, stabbing toward the foot sole that was the size of a mountain peak!
The disparity in size between the two was so stark, truly like a mayfly shaking a giant tree.
However, when the Ghost-Slaying Blade crashed into the foot sole that was also shrouded in golden light, a majestic, giant force capable of shaking mountains erupted from the blade body!
Boom!!!
The snowfield where Li Fei was located sank downward, kicking up a thousand piles of snow.
He and the right foot sole that the three-eyed snow ape stepped down with formed a stalemate, and he was not stepped into meat paste with one foot.
Surprise appeared in all three of the three-eyed snow ape's eyeballs.
If Li Fei had used a supernatural power to resist, this would not be surprising, but Li Fei had not used a supernatural power, relying solely on strength and physical power.
This was truly too inconceivable!
Roar—
The three-eyed snow ape hammered its chest heavily with both hands and roared toward the sky.
In an instant, the golden light under its feet surged, and the power of the entire small heaven and earth was concentrated on its body, being crushed down toward Li Fei below!
Boom!
The ground continued to sink downward, and the surrounding air was directly blasted, producing a huge vacuum airflow vortex that rapidly spread to the surroundings, eventually forming a blizzard.
At the bottom of the large pit, under the huge foot sole, Li Fei held the Ghost-Slaying Blade with both hands, the blade body pressed down by a notch.
He could clearly feel that his strength at this moment was already much weaker than before.
First, he had been weakened twice by Nomuwaxi, who possessed the 【Three Heads and Six Arms】 supernatural power, and now he was being continuously weakened by the supernatural power of this small heaven and earth.
In the Blood Demon State, the Blood Rage power that should have been 1160 units was already less than half of the original.
Strength and True Power were also likely weakened by about thirty percent.
This was the shortcoming of non-supernatural powers.
Li Fei, who possessed the Ten Thousand Blood Pearl, mastered a variety of Blood Soul Skills; as his total blood volume increased, along with repeated strengthening, the power of these Blood Soul Skills sometimes appeared as if they were supernatural powers.
For example, 【Blood Might】 combined with Li Fei's heart-mind power, becoming the self-created 【Blood Might God】, with effects no worse than heart-mind supernatural powers.
For example, the current 【Blood Rage】, the power it erupted with was even comparable to strength-type supernatural powers.
And there were 【Blood Spring】 and 【Blood Breath】; these two added together were completely comparable to a powerful life-type or healing-type supernatural power!
If one also counted the damage transfer of the Ten Thousand Blood Pearl, it could be compared to the defense-type 【Indestructible】 supernatural power.
Looking at it this way, Li Fei appeared to have only two supernatural powers, but actually had six!
But these Blood Soul Skills were, after all, not true supernatural powers, just as martial arts would be crushed by supernatural powers; Blood Soul Skills also existed with such problems.
For example, a fire-attribute martial art, when encountering a fire-attribute supernatural power, not only could the former not resist the latter, but its power would even be utilized by the latter.
Li Fei's 【Blood Rage】 was also like this; unleashing 【Blood Rage】, the warm current in his body should have been maintained for ten minutes, but it was continuously weakened by the opponent's supernatural powers, to the point that now, less than three minutes later, this power was already less than half left.
If 【Blood Rage】 were replaced by a strength-type supernatural power, it would not be so easily weakened.
Therefore, Li Fei appeared to have six 'supernatural powers', but for one, the coordination between these 'supernatural powers' was not high, and they could not compare to true six-supernatural-power powerhouses.
For another, the 'priority' of three of these 'supernatural powers' had not reached the level of true supernatural powers.
The Ten Thousand Blood Pearl truly stood above supernatural powers, and even the Dao principles of peak powerhouses could not shake it; the only one was 'damage transfer'.
This was an ability even more tyrannical than the 【Indestructible】 supernatural power!
Li Fei consumed another 580 Blood Souls to unleash 【Blood Rage】; the original warm current disappeared, and a new warm current surged forth.
Immediately following, a large burst of sparks erupted from the Ghost-Slaying Blade.
Li Fei disappeared at the bottom of the pit, replaced by a large tree with branches covered in sparks.
The large tree only appeared for one second before exploding with a bang, transforming into sparks filling the sky.
Dao Strength—【Fire Tree Silver Flower Nightless Heaven】!
One of the three styles of Dao Strength self-created by Hao Yi; this move was first to discharge force, then to borrow force.
Li Fei reappeared under the huge foot sole, the Blood Rage power in his body surging into both arms, simultaneously with a majestic impact force he had borrowed!
The Ghost-Slaying Blade stabbed upward, and a pair of huge flame wings over ten meters long appeared behind Li Fei.
As this pair of wings flapped, a sonic boom sounded, and all the power on the Ghost-Slaying Blade was condensed together, forming an upward, unstoppable rushing-flight momentum.
At this moment, even if a true giant mountain were pressing down, it seemed it could not stop Li Fei from soaring into the sky, straight up to the nine heavens!
Dao Strength—【Fire Wings Soaring to the Nine Heavens】!
This style was the condensation and eruption of power, and could allow a martial artist to briefly possess flight ability.
Swish—
The golden light under the three-eyed snow ape's foot sole began to crack; the blade light touched the foot sole, followed by a series of clanging sounds, like a blade cutting jade.
The right leg of the three-eyed snow ape that had stepped into the large pit began from the foot sole, flesh and blood continuously flying, white bones breaking inch by inch, spreading all the way upward.
In the blink of an eye, this lower leg below its right knee was completely shattered!
Surprise and anger appeared in its three huge eyeballs, subsequently shooting out streaks of sharp golden light toward below.
A streak of golden light shot Li Fei; Li Fei instantly exploded into a cluster of sparks, disappeared from where he was, and appeared on the inner side of the three-eyed snow ape's right thigh, slashing out with another blade, cutting flesh and blood apart, white bones visible.
As another streak of golden light shot over, he exploded into sparks and disappeared again.
Dao Strength—【Flying Flowers and Rain of Fire】!
During this period, although Li Fei could not incorporate new implants, he practiced martial arts in the illusion realm every day.
He had already fully mastered these three styles of Dao Strength self-created by Hao Yi and could coordinate them.
【Fire Wings Soaring to the Nine Heavens】 combined with 【Flying Flowers and Rain of Fire】 allowed him to continuously 'flash' in the air, producing an effect similar to the 【No Distance】 supernatural power!
Soon, Li Fei appeared at the head of the three-eyed snow ape, holding the blade with both hands to slash downward.
The opponent's three eyeballs simultaneously shot out golden light, forming a Diamond Wall to block in front of Li Fei.
Scorching flames erupted from the Ghost-Slaying Blade; those scattered sparks left behind from continuously unleashing 【Flying Flowers and Rain of Fire】 earlier gathered toward the blade body at this moment.
Immediately following, a huge blade edge over a hundred meters long, condensed from raging flames, appeared, directly splitting the Diamond Wall!
The moment the blade light appeared, the entire small heaven and earth trembled because of it, and the ten-thousand-mile snowfield began to melt.
Dao Strength—【Heaven and Earth Single Blade】!
The blade light went downward, slashing through all obstacles; a blade mark appeared, spreading from the three-eyed snow ape's forehead all the way to its lower abdomen.
This behemoth with a body height of a thousand meters was split into two halves with one blade!
As this three-eyed snow ape was slashed and extinguished, the entire small heaven and earth also collapsed along with it.
Li Fei returned to the battlefield, currently situated at the bottom of a giant pit.
At the edge of the giant pit, that blood shadow that had charged toward him earlier was standing there, its whole body vibrating, obviously having suffered a backlash.
Li Fei unleashed 【No Distance】 and appeared at its side, first hitting it with a 【Blood Might God】 that consumed 100 Blood Souls, then slashing across its neck with a blade!
This blood shadow subsequently annihilated.
Li Fei turned his head to look at the others.
While he was exchanging blows with this person, the other Ba-Du powerhouses and the Martial Arts Grandmasters and two True Persons on the Barbarian-Killing Army side had also started exchanging blows.
Eight against six; naturally, the Northern Barbarians held the upper hand.
Three Ba-Du powerhouses were surrounding and attacking a Martial Arts Grandmaster; it was precisely Chi Chi Chengyu, who had come to the Northern Border to atone for his crimes.
Seeing that Chi Chi Chengyu was in precarious danger and could not hold on for much longer, Li Fei immediately unleashed 【No Distance】 to rush over there.
When he disappeared from where he was, a blood shadow reappeared; it was precisely the four-supernatural-power Ba-Du powerhouse he had just beheaded.
This person was named Wuri Wuri Biezhe, a Ba-Du powerhouse of the Wuri tribe, and also the one with the strongest combat power among the five powerhouses who sacrificed themselves.
Therefore, he had actively sought out Li Fei, intending to entangle Li Fei, create opportunities for his companions, solve the others first, and then turn back together to surround and kill Li Fei.
As a result, he did not expect that he would not drag it out for long at all before being killed by Li Fei.
Wuri Wuri Biezhe hurriedly chased after Li Fei.
Li Fei flashed a few times and approached another battlefield, slashing out a blade in advance; a blade aura appeared out of thin air five hundred meters away, slashing a Ba-Du powerhouse and relieving the siege for the surrounded Chi Chi Chengyu.
"Many thanks!"
Chi Chi Chengyu glanced at Li Fei, who was rushing toward his side, and said loudly.
Li Fei did not speak, continuously using the 【No Distance】 supernatural power to attack from a distance, holding back a Ba-Du powerhouse.
A few seconds later, he suddenly appeared behind this Ba-Du powerhouse and slashed out.
But this Ba-Du powerhouse suddenly disappeared from where he was, replaced by a blood shadow.
This blood shadow let Li Fei slash him, and he also slashed toward Li Fei's neck!
His blade ultimately failed to break through the layer of golden light on Li Fei's body, while Li Fei's Ghost-Slaying Blade slashed through the opponent's body as if slashing through a mass of air.
Li Fei did not hesitate, immediately unleashing 【No Distance】 to attack another Ba-Du powerhouse on the scene who had not turned into a blood shadow.
But when he appeared behind the opponent and prepared to strike, this person also instantly disappeared, turning into that blood shadow from just now appearing before his blade.
Supernatural Power—【Twins】!
Can allow oneself to swap positions with a designated person within range, or designate two people to swap positions with each other.
This was also a space-type supernatural power, with certain limitations compared to 【No Distance】, but at certain times, it could exert wonderful uses that 【No Distance】 could not.
This blood shadow was named Wuri Wuri Xihe, also a Ba-Du powerhouse of the Wuri tribe.
He again let Li Fei slash through his body with a blade, while he himself also slashed Li Fei.
He still failed to break through Li Fei's defense, but Li Fei's blade also slashed through his body again, causing no substantial damage to him.
Supernatural Power—【Virtual Body】!
Can briefly make a certain part of the body turn into nothingness, suffering no damage.
【Twins】 plus 【Virtual Body】 allowed Wuri Wuri Xihe's value on the battlefield to be maximized; he would be the strongest meat shield and support!
"Central Plains person, from now on, don't even think about killing any more of my companions!"
Wuri Wuri Xihe said to Li Fei through gritted teeth.
Li Fei somewhat understood the opponent's supernatural power and no longer unleashed 【No Distance】 to find others, instantly slashing dozens of blades toward Wuri Wuri Xihe.
Wuri Wuri Xihe did not dodge or evade, also continuously slashing at Li Fei.
The two faced each other and attacked!
No matter how fast Li Fei slashed, every blade slashed into a void.
No matter how viciously Wuri Wuri Xihe slashed, he could never break through Li Fei's defense.
Li Fei stabbed the opponent's heart with one blade, the blade tip protruding from his back, and then he did not pull the blade out, but erupted the blade strength from the blade edge, wanting to explode it inside his body!
Boom—
The strength exploded, but Li Fei's eyes blurred, and Wuri Wuri Xihe had already disappeared.
The two people's positions were swapped.
From facing each other, they became back-to-back.
Therefore, Li Fei's strike still missed.
Li Fei immediately wanted to use Sword State: Hun-Yuan Sword World to carry out an all-around, no-dead-angle attack on Wuri Wuri Xihe in the small heaven and earth!
But just as he prepared to make a move, Wuri Wuri Xihe behind him disappeared again, replaced by Wuri Wuri Biezhe.
A dozen beast shadows appeared; the next second, Li Fei reappeared in a snowfield.
A flash of anger crossed Li Fei's eyes.
Looking at the three-eyed snow ape that appeared again in front, he directly consumed 376 Blood Souls to unleash a full-power 【Blood Might God】!
The thousand-meter-tall three-eyed snow ape had all three eyes widen simultaneously, revealing a look of terror.
The next second, a boundless sea of blood surged from all directions, swallowing the ice, snow, and icebergs!
"Sure enough."
Li Fei confirmed his guess.
These Ba-Du powerhouses who sacrificed themselves had already completely lost their physical bodies, and only in this way could they resurrect time and time again.
And in the condition of losing their physical bodies, the form in which they maintained their existence was only spirit.
If one launched an attack directly targeting their spirit, it was striking at the vital point!
Sure enough, Li Fei hit it with a full-power 【Blood Might God】, and it actually directly affected the opponent's small heaven and earth.
The thousand-meter-tall three-eyed snow ape directly disintegrated, and the entire small heaven and earth also began to collapse!
Li Fei was not satisfied, and another full-power 【Blood Might God】 was blasted out.
The next second, he returned to the battlefield and turned to look, only to see Wuri Wuri Biezhe's blood shadow blurred and unclear, barely even able to maintain a basic human shape!
Wuri Wuri Xihe not far away was shocked at the sight and immediately launched 【Twins】, swapping his position with Wuri Wuri Biezhe.
But Li Fei ignored him, only turning his head to look at Wuri Wuri Biezhe after the swap.
A third full-power 【Blood Might God】 was blasted out!
Bang—
The blood shadow representing Wuri Wuri Biezhe directly exploded!
"Wuri Biezhe—"
Wuri Wuri Xihe was shocked, because he felt that Wuri Wuri Biezhe's spiritual imprint had become extremely weak, like a candle in the wind, likely to be completely extinguished at any moment!
Seeing that Wuri Wuri Biezhe did not 'resurrect' again, Li Fei revealed a satisfied smile.
From the start of the battle until now, he had used 【Blood Rage】 twice at full power, one instance of super-limit strength, four full-power 【Blood Might God】 strikes, plus several 【Blood Might】 and damage-bearing instances, consuming a total of 3724 Blood Souls.
Currently, 115 Blood Souls remained in the Ten Thousand Blood Pearl, and 3000 remained in the Blood Spring.
【Blood Breath】 was already taking effect, recovering at a rate of 188.25 Blood Souls per minute.
After solving Wuri Wuri Biezhe, Li Fei did not rush to kill Wuri Wuri Xihe, but entangled with the opponent, simultaneously relying on the 【No Distance】 supernatural power to strike out sword Qi and blade light from a distance, entangling the other two Ba-Du powerhouses.
"You go help the others!"
Li Fei transmitted his voice to Chi Chi Chengyu.
Chi Chi Chengyu turned and left without hesitation.
Just a moment ago it was eight against six; the Northern Barbarian side could form a three-against-one situation locally.
But now, with Li Fei solving another Ba-Du powerhouse, while he alone entangled three people.
Consequently, the Barbarian-Killing Army side could free up one Chi Chi Chengyu to support the others, forming a two-against-one locally!
But Chi Chi Chengyu had only run out for five hundred meters when Li Fei's eyes suddenly blurred.
By the time he came to his senses, he discovered that he and Chi Chi Chengyu had swapped positions.
The three Ba-Du powerhouses immediately seized the opportunity to use killing moves on Chi Chi Chengyu!
"Fuck!"
Li Fei cursed, while using 【No Distance】 to run back, simultaneously striking out sword Qi and blade light from the air to support Chi Chi Chengyu.
While Li Fei was running back, one of the Ba-Du powerhouses surrounding Chi Chi Chengyu suddenly ran toward the distance.
Both sides' speeds were extremely fast; by the time Li Fei ran back, the opponent had already run out over three hundred meters.
Li Fei immediately realized something was wrong.
Sure enough, he and that Ba-Du powerhouse who had run outward swapped positions.
Consequently, the scene once again became Chi Chi Chengyu being surrounded and attacked by three people, while Li Fei was 'isolated' outside.
Glancing at the rear, over a hundred Tu-Du martial artists of the Northern Barbarian King's personal guard were about to arrive here.
Once these people arrived, Li Fei would continuously swap positions with the Tu-Du martial artists, while Chi Chi Chengyu would always suffer the surrounding attack of the three Ba-Du powerhouses!
Chi Chi Chengyu was a dual-supernatural-power user, and the three Ba-Du powerhouses surrounding him were also dual-supernatural-power users; fighting until now, Chi Chi Chengyu was already not lightly injured.
Li Fei no longer held back, blasting a full-power 【Blood Might God】 at Wuri Wuri Xihe!
Wuri Wuri Xihe's blood shadow immediately became blurred and unclear; not giving him a chance to react, Li Fei immediately followed up with a full-power 【Blood Might God】.
Bang—
The blood shadow exploded.
Unlike Wuri Wuri Biezhe, Wuri Wuri Xihe's spiritual imprint was directly extinguished!
He was a dual-supernatural-power user, weaker in all aspects than the four-supernatural-power Wuri Wuri Biezhe, and his spiritual damage-bearing ability was also the same.
Therefore, Li Fei's two full-power 【Blood Might God】 strikes could be considered damage overflow.
Originally, he had wanted to wait for 【Blood Breath】 to recover a portion of Blood Souls before attacking, but Wuri Wuri Xihe's supernatural power was too disgusting; if he did not kill this person quickly, the situation on the battlefield could be changed by this Ba-Du powerhouse who was merely a dual-supernatural-power user!
On the mountain peak, a blood shadow was completely extinguished, and Wuri Wuri Tianji, as the controller of the great array, immediately noticed it.
He had no choice but to split off a portion of his heart-mind to pay attention to the battle on the ground, and then was greatly shocked!
Among the five sacrificed Ba-Du powerhouses, Wuri Wuri Biezhe, with the strongest strength, was beaten to the point of being unable to resurrect?
Wuri Wuri Xihe, with the strongest battlefield support ability, was directly extinguished?
"It's him again!"
Wuri Wuri Tianji 'stared' at Li Fei with a heart full of rage.
Means capable of launching attacks on the spirit were mostly arts.
But the arts of art-users would be countered by the 'essence, Qi, and spirit' of martial artists, making it very difficult to cause serious influence on a martial artist's heart-mind.
And martial arts capable of influencing the spirit were very rare, and heart-mind-type supernatural powers were even rarer.
Wuri Wuri Tianji did not understand; clearly Li Fei had no heart-mind-type supernatural powers, so why could he extinguish two blood shadows?
From the start of the battle until now, this person who only had two supernatural powers had successively killed three Ba-Du powerhouses, with the best record on the entire field!
Even the immortal and indestructible blood shadows had been solved by him twice, charging back and forth on the battlefield, unstoppable by anyone.
How tyrannical?
"The Number One Prodigy in History"
Wuri Wuri Tianji silently recited this title with some bitterness.
Even though he was far away in the Northern Barbarians, he had also heard rumors about Li Fei.
Originally, he had felt that these rumors were somewhat exaggerated.
But seeing it with his own eyes today, he had to admit that the Central Plains people perhaps were not bragging; Li Fei was indeed worthy of the title 'Number One Prodigy in History'!
And such a prodigy, the Northern Barbarians had never had.
To be able to let such a magnificent and peerless prodigy go to the battlefield to kill the enemy.
This was also the foundation of a great nation!
