Chapter 529

~17 min read 3,343 words

At the summit of Mount Mount Tiansha.

Twenty-one-year-old Li Fei, the youngest Grandmaster in the world.

Two-hundred-and-ten-year-old Ying Hua Jie, the oldest Grandmaster in the world.

Two people with an age difference of ten times were about to fight.

The two-hundred-and-ten-year-old Ying Hua Jie was the challenger!

"Hahahahahaha—"

Ying Hua Jie suddenly laughed heroically, and his Gang Qi erupted.

In an instant, layers upon layers of force flowed on the summit, surging and magnificent, turning into a scene of ten thousand miles of angry waves.

This was Ying Hua Jie's Martial Dao Domain.

"It is indeed I who was blind and underestimated the number one in history!"

Ying Hua Jie cupped his fists to Li Fei:

"Ying Hua Jie of Mount Mount Tiansha, please enlighten me!"

As the voice fell, he suddenly rose from the ground and leaped into the high sky.

In the battle that followed, if the two fought on Mount Mount Tiansha, the entire main peak would likely be collapsed!

Therefore, Ying Hua Jie chose to have an aerial battle with Li Fei.

As he rose into the high sky, the ten-thousand-mile angry wave domain quickly condensed on his body.

At the same time, the phantom of a giant fish several thousand meters long appeared in the firmament!

The giant fish had a magnificent momentum, swallowing the sky and covering the sun; every scale was surging with collapsing angry waves, and as the fish tail slapped, space twisted along with it!

"In the Northern Darkness there is a fish, and its name is Kun. The Kun is so huge, I do not know how many thousands of miles it is..."

This was the highest secret manual of Mount Mount Tiansha—"Kunpeng Canon."

Ying Hua Jie clearly had already compressed and condensed his Martial Dao Domain on the surface of his body, raising his power to the peak, but there were still phenomena manifested externally, and the range far exceeded the limit of the Martial Dao Domain!

"Condensing the Dao Domain on the body, manifesting phenomena externally, every move and action draws the power of heaven and earth like a surging torrent."

Li Fei looked up at the sky, and such a sentence appeared in his heart.

This was what Shi Caiming told him, speaking of the peak state of a Dao-Establishing Realm Grandmaster!

Ying Hua Jie at this very moment was just like this.

Li Fei leaped up and swept toward Ying Hua Jie in the sky.

The closer he got, the more he could feel the Qi of heaven and earth pulling crazily like the tides of the ocean, with undercurrents surging.

Ying Hua Jie looked down from above, pressed down with both fists, and launched the attack first.

He knew that Li Fei had the 【Dragon Elephant】 divine ability, and the Dragon Elephant power was constantly superimposing; as the challenger, he naturally would not give Li Fei the opportunity to drive his power to "ten dragons and ten elephants."

The giant fish opened its blood-red mouth, carrying the momentum of the ocean's devastation, and bit toward Li Fei.

Li Fei pressed his hand on the Ghost-Slaying Blade and pushed the hilt with his thumb.

Clang—

The long blade was unsheathed again, and between heaven and earth, the white rainbow reappeared!

This blade strike was even stronger than the one that slashed Huyan Hetai away just now.

Ying Hua Jie was fully focused, ten thousand strands of force circulating rapidly, forming a chaotic vortex in the giant fish's mouth.

A terrifying suction force that swallowed the sky and ate the earth was transmitted from within, continuously devouring the Qi of heaven and earth as well as the power on Li Fei's blade aura, and the nearby space also shattered along with it.

Divine Ability—【Qi Control】!

Divine Ability—【Swallow the Sea】!

Divine Ability—【Split the Sky】!

The power of the three divine abilities blended perfectly together in the Martial Dao Domain, turning into this chaotic vortex that swallowed everything.

After witnessing Li Fei's blade strike just now, Ying Hua Jie already had a tactic in his heart.

Huyan Hetai was adept at frontal strong attacks; facing a high-burst type with stronger power like Li Fei, he was naturally beaten until he had no temper.

And Ying Hua Jie was different from the other party; his methods were more varied, stronger in control and defensive counterattacks.

Therefore, he did not think he had absolutely no chance of winning.

Devouring, dissolving, rebounding... various methods superimposed.

Li Fei was like being in the eye of a storm at the deepest part of the seabed; his blade aura was continuously worn down, and countless undercurrents were crazily tearing and pulling around him!

He decisively drove 【Sword Sacrifice】 again, consuming another 500 blood souls to strengthen the 【Primordial Sword Realm】.

The golden armor on his body bloomed with light, and even more vast power surged out from the battle armor!

Under the dual blessing of the Martial Dao Domain and the 【Jing'an】 divine ability, the effect of 【Sword Sacrifice】 at least doubled, which made Li Fei become more affluent when using this "self-mutilating" divine ability.

The white rainbow slashed through the chaotic vortex, and the golden light flashed by.

Li Fei, who broke through the spatial restraint, activated 【No Distance】 to arrive behind Ying Hua Jie and slashed horizontally with his blade.

The blade edge slashed across Ying Hua Jie's waist, and his whole body shattered into countless azure crystal chips.

Immediately following, a new Ying Hua Jie appeared several hundred meters away.

Divine Ability—【Substitute Shadow and Change Form】!

This divine ability combined with the other few divine abilities, plus the changes derived from the divine abilities, allowed Ying Hua Jie to use substitutes an infinite number of times within his own Martial Dao Domain, and complete the shifting of positions!

This meant that before his power was exhausted, or before his Martial Dao Domain was completely broken, he was almost in an invincible position.

This was also one of the reasons Ying Hua Jie had the confidence to win against Li Fei.

The giant Kun turned around, opened its mouth, and swallowed toward Li Fei again.

The chaotic vortex reappeared.

Li Fei just drew his blade and shattered the vortex again.

After doing this several times, Ying Hua Jie took the initiative to seek change.

Although Li Fei could not do anything to him for the time being, the Dragon Elephant power was constantly growing, as if there were no end!

This made Ying Hua Jie not dare to wait any longer.

The phantom of the giant Kun leaped up and turned into a Golden-Winged Peng!

This was the second stage of the "Kunpeng Canon"—

Transforming into a Peng, soaring ninety thousand miles straight up!

Wherever every tail feather of the Golden-Winged Peng swept, the clouds were all twisted into cotton-like cracks, and the Gang wind stirred up by its wings was wrapped in shattered thunder, actually forming an inverted ocean of lightning above the firmament!

Ying Hua Jie's hair and beard bristled with rage, and he hammered with both fists.

Boom boom boom boom—

Bolts of lightning struck down like a rainstorm!

Li Fei did not use 【No Distance】 to dodge, letting these lightning bolts strike his golden armor.

The phantom of ten thousand miles of mountains and rivers flashed, and the shouts of billions of people gathered.

It was like the protection of national fortune, with the power of the whole nation protecting his body!

The 【Jing'an】 divine ability could bless attacks, and could also bless defense.

Even compared to the offense, the defense blessed by the 【Jing'an】 divine ability was even stronger!

"Is this the divine ability the late Emperor helped him condense with national fortune?"

Ying Hua Jie's gaze changed, and he decisively carried the phantom of the Golden-Winged Peng and crashed straight toward Li Fei!

Ten thousand bolts of lightning gathered on the wings of the Golden-Winged Peng, making Ying Hua Jie's speed almost like teleportation.

Li Fei did not dodge or evade, holding his blade and colliding toward him!

In the sky, ten thousand bolts of lightning exploded.

Li Fei flickered constantly within the phantom of the Golden-Winged Peng, tearing its body apart and slashing it open constantly.

Ying Hua Jie's fist momentum was like the waves of the ocean, layered upon layers; and also like thunder exploding, explosive and masculine.

He swallowed Li Fei's power time and time again, dissolved it, and then superimposed it onto his own fist force to give a counterattack.

The stronger Li Fei's power was, the more explosive his counterattack was!

Ying Hua Jie also practiced both styles of fist techniques to the Creation Realm, and blended them perfectly together, one Yin and one Yang, one hard and one soft!

In terms of the application of force and Martial Dao attainments, he was above Li Fei.

But the situation of the fight was that he was shattered into crystals filling the sky time and time again, and re-gathered time and time again.

The battle armor on Li Fei's body also appeared with multiple damages, but it was repairing at an extremely fast speed!

The 【Refining Matter】 divine ability could repair the damage to the 【Primordial Sword Realm】.

Besides this, the power blessed by the 【Jing'an】 divine ability, besides being used for offense and defense, could also be used to repair the sword realm!

Unless Ying Hua Jie could destroy Li Fei's battle armor over a large area in an instant, it was almost difficult to hurt Li Fei.

Physical-level attacks were difficult to be effective, and Ying Hua Jie also tried to coordinate Creation Realm fist force and divine abilities to launch mind-spirit attacks.

The Kunpeng state shook heaven and earth, suddenly intruding into Li Fei's consciousness to run wild!

But with a bright moon hanging high, under the shroud of moonlight, Li Fei had more than enough to protect himself.

These seven divine abilities of Li Fei looked like they had no coordination, unlike others whose multiple divine abilities were superimposed layer by layer, combining to become stronger.

But when he broke through his realm, the seven divine abilities blended together, also forming a style unique to him:

【Sword Sacrifice】 and 【Dragon Elephant】 were used to strengthen offense and defense.

【Eternal Stability】 strengthened mind-spirit defense.

【Refining Matter】 was mainly used to repair the sword realm.

【Mixed Heaven Golden Palace】 was mainly used to strengthen endurance and recovery.

【No Distance】 enhanced movement.

【Jing'an】 strengthened everything!

This was Li Fei's path, almost having no weaknesses, being powerful in all aspects.

In one sentence—it was full of the beauty of numerical values!

Fighting until now, Ying Hua Jie hadn't even been able to hurt Li Fei once, and the blood souls Li Fei consumed were all consumed by himself proactively.

And what made Ying Hua Jie feel even more cold-hearted was—Li Fei's power was still increasing!

Ying Hua Jie also had divine abilities that could absorb the Qi of heaven and earth to enhance his endurance in a protracted war, so he wouldn't show signs of fatigue if the fight continued.

But he knew very clearly that he had already driven his power to near the limit.

And as for Li Fei's limit, he still couldn't see where it was...

Ying Hua Jie's state of mind did not waver.

Before the battle started, he knew very clearly that this life-and-death battle of his needed to break through his own limits!

If one doesn't break the limit, how can one break through the realm?

Swish—

After his body was slashed and shattered by Li Fei's blade again, Ying Hua Jie's body re-condensed a thousand meters away.

Before Li Fei could chase over with 【No Distance】, all the essence and blood in his body ignited!

Hum—

The phantom of the Golden-Winged Peng almost turned into substance, and a hissing sound that shook heaven and earth rang out.

Lightning flashed, wings spread open, and the Golden-Winged Peng soared upward!

Mind-spirit, blood Qi, force, divine abilities, and even the Martial Dao Domain, all burned in the most extreme way!

The accumulation Ying Hua Jie had honed for more than thirty years was all turned into firewood at this moment.

He did not intend to continue consuming time with Li Fei.

Taking advantage of his state of mind still being at its peak, and borrowing the immense pressure brought by Li Fei, he launched the final "leap" without hesitation!

The limit of power was broken through at this point.

Ying Hua Jie mainly cultivated the "Kunpeng Canon," and at this moment, spreading his wings and flying high with the momentum of transforming into a Peng was with the mindset of "wanting to compare heights with the Heavenly Lord," wanting to break through the limit of the firmament, thereby completing the final leap and breaking through to become a Saint!

Li Fei, who stood in front of him, was that "Wall of Heaven," that "Cover of the Firmament"!

Ying Hua Jie's Dao of the common man, honed through life and death, actually also had two methods:

The first is that in a life-and-death battle, after experiencing hardships and defeating a strong enemy, he breaks through the limit with the most perfect and peak state of mind, taking that final step.

The second is that in a life-and-death battle, finding it difficult to defeat a strong enemy, he is forced to break through the limit one step ahead between life and death, thereby completing the breakthrough of the realm.

The risk of the latter is of course greater, but if he succeeds, the probability of successfully breaking through the realm will also be greater!

Li Fei's strength far exceeded Ying Hua Jie's imagination, and he could only break through the realm using the second method.

And the moment Li Fei exploded without reservation, with the traction of Qi and the interaction of Qi fortune, he simply couldn't hold back.

The greatest help he could give Ying Hua Jie was to go all out!

Once he held back, all previous efforts would be wasted.

Verifying the Dao through power and breaking through to become a Saint can only rely on oneself to break through.

As long as Ying Hua Jie can hold on, what Li Fei brings him will be a greater probability of breaking through the realm!

The two fought for less than three minutes, and the Dragon Elephant power had already reached the level of "ten dragons and ten elephants."

Li Fei held his blade with both hands and slashed down toward the Golden-Winged Peng flying with wings spread in front of him.

The limit power was 4400 units of blood rage power, and after a ten-fold amplification, the explosive power approached 180,000 tons!

Just this physical explosive power already exceeded the limit of the Dao-Establishing Realm!

And Li Fei also had the 【Primordial Sword Realm】 and various divine ability blessings.

Following his blade strike downward, ten thousand bolts of lightning in the firmament were annihilated!

Sun and moon wheels, thousands of mountains lined up in formation, Heavenly River pouring down.

Ten thousand zhang of golden light, ink splashing into a formation, snow waves collapsing clouds...

The layered images that had appeared when the 【Primordial Sword Realm】 was fully unfolded earlier now reappeared in the firmament.

This time, these ten thousand images were no longer "each in their own formation," but combined harmoniously to form the true—

Great Thousand World, Ten Thousand Images Changing!

On the basis of the Gouchen Sword Sect's Creation Sword Art "Great Thousand," Li Fei, with the 【Ten Thousand Images】 ability derived from divine abilities and combining the unique skills of more than a dozen Grandmasters with the solid foundation of the 【Primordial Sword Realm】, created a new Dao force.

Originally, this style of Dao force was only a semi-finished product, but after being honed in the battle with Ying Hua Jie, and now under the traction of the interaction of Qi fortune, borrowing the momentum of the other party's breakthrough, Li Fei successfully completed this style of Dao force.

This was his first style of Dao force to reach the Creation Realm level!

It was also the first style of Dao force truly created by himself!

This style was both a sword move and a blade move. It had fist intent and spear intent, encompassing everything.

At this very moment, facing the Creation-level move pressing down from above, Ying Hua Jie's most intuitive feeling was—

The sky has collapsed!

Terrifying power far exceeding imagination crushed down, and the Golden-Winged Peng flying with wings spread had its figure twisted, no longer in a soaring state.

Pitch-black cracks spread in the air, covering the surface of the Golden-Winged Peng.

"Break for me—"

Ying Hua Jie's eyes were about to split, his whole body bathed in blood, crazily driving his power!

The Peng spreads its wings, soaring ninety thousand miles straight up.

But what if ninety thousand miles is still not the limit of the firmament?

Ying Hua Jie held a mortal determination, wanting to compare heights with the Heavenly Lord.

Yet he did not know the height of the sky!

The figure of the Golden-Winged Peng soon turned into a phantom again, and its power was forced to fall from the peak.

"What a pity."

At the summit of Mount Mount Tiansha, the crowd of Grandmasters had been staring fixedly at the battlefield in the sky, unwilling to miss any detail.

Seeing this moment, they all understood that Ying Hua Jie still hadn't been able to hold on under Li Fei's powerful strength, and the breakthrough of the realm had failed.

Verifying the Dao through power, the probability of success is very low to begin with.

Ying Hua Jie used his own failure to once again corroborate this point.

Seeing this scene, the crowd of Grandmasters couldn't help but feel a sense of sorrow.

Although Ying Hua Jie could not yet be counted as the world's strongest Grandmaster, he was already the strongest Grandmaster among the "Three Mountains, Four Sects, and Seven Great Families."

Even he failed to break through his realm; among the Grandmasters present, how many could have the opportunity to become a Saint?

In the sky, Ying Hua Jie's momentum began to fall back, and blood flowed from his seven orifices constantly.

If the opponent had been changed to Huyan Hetai, would I have been able to succeed today?

Such a thought only existed for an instant before being denied by Ying Hua Jie.

If the opponent were changed to Huyan Hetai, I might be able to win this life-and-death battle, but it certainly wouldn't be as oppressive as the battle with Li Fei, and wouldn't be able to break through the limit so intensely.

In that case, the success rate of breaking through the realm would be even lower, and it probably wouldn't have succeeded either.

In the end, I was just not strong enough.

Ying Hua Jie sighed and looked at Li Fei:

"It's a pity I couldn't let the Marquis of Jing'an enjoy himself to the fullest."

Under the interaction of Qi fortune, he knew that Li Fei hadn't reached his limit yet!

"What was the name of that move just now?"

Ying Hua Jie asked.

Li Fei recalled the insights just now and the process of Ying Hua Jie's failure to break through his realm, feeling something in his heart, and almost blurted out:

"【Not Knowing the Height of the Sky】."

Ying Hua Jie was startled, then laughed loudly:

"Hahahahahaha! What a 'Not Knowing the Height of the Sky'! I, today..."

Before he finished speaking, a ball of black flames suddenly bloomed in his dantian.

"Hmm?"

Ying Hua Jie was shocked in his heart; the momentum and power that had clearly already fallen were actually starting to climb again!

"Huyan Hetai?"

Ying Hua Jie, under the traction of Qi, looked toward the distance:

"No! You are not..."

"Truly trash!"

A thick voice came from the distance:

"Ying Hua Jie, this seat has come to help you break through your realm—"
