Chapter 765: One Man Guards the Pass, A Legend Through the Ages (8000)

Ever since the New Heaven Society appeared in the world, they have been constantly refreshing the world's perception of them, and the power they display has become increasingly strong.

First came the appearance of Ye Zhao, a very young martial artist at the peak of the Dao Foundation realm who could enter the top three of the overall Wind and Cloud Ranking, and then there was You Ming, a martial arts master who suddenly emerged.

Later, Ye Zhao died in the dungeons of the Law Enforcement Pavilion, and the New Heaven Society even produced a top-tier True Person who specialized in the Dao of Curses!

Li Fei remembered that at the time, the Law Enforcement Pavilion's assessment of this person was—only one step away from mastering Dao principles!

Otherwise, the opponent would not have been able to break through the grand formation personally laid down by the Imperial Preceptor Yun Shu to curse Ye Zhao to death within the formation.

Although that grand formation was not specifically designed to prevent curses, even if there were an inside agent and a "seed" had been planted in Ye Zhao beforehand, it would still have been impossible for an ordinary top-tier True Person to kill someone through that formation.

From this, one can see the opponent's attainments in the art of cursing!

Now, this "iron wall" standing before Li Fei's path of destiny is composed of countless grievances, clearly related to the art of cursing.

"Could it be that this New Heaven Society leader, 'Qiming', is the top-tier True Person who specializes in the Dao of Curses?"

Li Fei speculated to himself.

What did the opponent rely on to dare to appear in this way?

Did they come here specifically just to stop him from breaking through his realm?

Why must they go to such lengths to target him?

What conditions did the Lu family and Xu Jing offer to move the opponent?

Li Fei had many questions in his heart.

"A rat hiding its head and showing its tail, and you dare to attend the ceremony?"

On the city wall, Wenren Zheng gave a direct response.

Regardless of what the opponent's goal was, his response was simple—

He threw an iron fist toward the firmament!

Rumble—

A series of thunderclaps rang out over Lanling City, followed by a storm that shredded all the white clouds covering the sky!

In the blink of an eye, there was not a single cloud left over the entire capital, leaving only the azure firmament, like a blue mirror, save for a huge black hole in the middle.

This punch from Wenren Zheng seemed to have punched through the very sky!

Although this punch landed on the sky, everyone on the ground still felt a terrifying pressure as heavy as a mountain!

The higher one's cultivation base, the more one could understand the horror of this punch; the martial arts masters and True Persons all showed expressions of fear.

Li Fei's mind also wavered for a moment.

He had once seen the Martial Saint Tai Yu and True Monarch Qingxu exchange blows on Mount Daluo; at that time, Tai Yu felt to him like the great sun in the sky, shining for ten thousand miles, peerless and arrogant.

But if faced with this simple, sky-breaking punch from Wenren Zheng, even the great sun would likely fall!

Among the seven current Martial Saints, the "Military God" Wenren Zheng had always been vaguely considered the "First Martial Saint."

But because the seven rarely fought each other, and no person or organization dared to rank these seven, this claim of "First Martial Saint" was not widely circulated, and no one dared to publicize it widely.

Now, having witnessed this sky-breaking punch with his own eyes, Li Fei understood somewhat why Wenren Zheng was considered the "First Martial Saint."

Just when many people thought that this suddenly emerged New Heaven Society leader might have been killed by Wenren Zheng's punch, Qiming's voice rolled down from the firmament again:

"A good punch! Worthy of being the 'Military God.' To receive without returning is not polite; the New Heaven Society returns the favor to the Great Lan Dynasty—"

The opponent was not only alive, but even dared to fight back?

If they were only a top-tier True Person, they would never have such strength.

Li Fei immediately recalled a previous speculation of his:

The reason the New Heaven Society was willing to pay such a great price, trying every means to let a martial arts master break the restrictions and enter the Tomb of Heavenly Water, was not just to kill him.

The Lu family and Xu Jing were not enough to make the New Heaven Society work that hard.

The opponent's plot was likely huge!

A top-tier True Person who was only a line away from breaking through, specializing in the Dao of Curses, and the core ability of the eighth-rank Heavenly Water Azure Soul Beast also involved this Dao.

Is it possible that the New Heaven Society's plot for the soul core of the eighth-rank Heavenly Water Azure Soul Beast was to help their leader break through his realm?

Li Fei had thought about this at the time.

Now it seemed that Qiming might have found another way to quietly break through and become a new True Monarch!

If this were the case, it would explain why the Star-Entering-Destiny technique had not been completely cleared away.

How could the handiwork of a True Monarch be so easily cleared?

And the reason the opponent was blocking his path was because he had once ruined their good deeds, and the hatred level was a bit high?

While Li Fei was pondering, Qiming's "return gift" had arrived—

A thick, dark blue thunderbolt descended from the sky, striking toward Wenren Zheng on the city wall!

A flash of anger crossed Wenren Zheng's eyes.

This thunderbolt posed no threat to him, but it contained a massive amount of curses!

Once he failed to handle it properly, these curses would scatter throughout Lanling City.

The Imperial City and the Imperial Palace were protected by grand formations at all times, so there was no need to worry.

But the grand formations of the Inner City and Outer City needed to be activated, and apart from the Imperial Preceptor Yun Shu, only the two Vice Pavilion Masters of the Law Enforcement Pavilion together with a group of True Persons could activate them; it was definitely too late now.

Therefore, if Wenren Zheng failed to completely block this curse-thunder, tens of thousands of people in Lanling City would likely suffer from the curses and die an unnatural death!

Moreover, some curses were like plagues and possessed strong infectious capabilities.

If they could not be dealt with in time, it would not just be tens of thousands of people affected.

The target of Qiming's strike was not the top powerhouse Wenren Zheng, but all the ordinary people of the Great Lan Dynasty.

This was the New Heaven Society's true return gift to the Great Lan Dynasty!

When the dark blue thunderbolt was less than fifty meters from the sky above the square, Wenren Zheng made his move.

It was still a simple punch, without any flashy moves or light effects, nor the terrifying momentum of the previous sky-breaking punch.

The dark blue thunderbolt shattered like broken glass, instantly disintegrating!

Not only that, the shattered "glass fragments" continued to break until they completely turned into nothingness, leaving no trace behind.

Wenren Zheng did not let a single bit of curse power leak out; he crushed it all!

"Dao principles? It's a True Monarch!"

In the seating area on the right side of the square, Shen Zhen exclaimed.

Her words caused the martial arts masters present to change color.

Although the Great Dao leads to the same destination in the end, the Dao principles of martial arts and the Dao principles of the arts are still different, so the True Persons present were more easily able to confirm Qiming's cultivation base than the martial arts masters.

Shen Zhen's cultivation was among the best of the True Persons, and with the Nightmare Sect's unique advantage in perception, she was the first to confirm it.

The leader of the New Heaven Society was actually a True Monarch!

If this news were to spread, one could only imagine the uproar it would cause!

And everyone present knew clearly that this True Monarch was likely not an existing one, but a newly ascended one.

The power of Dao principles cannot be faked; if any of the other three True Monarchs of the current age or that Buddha had made a move, they would definitely have been recognized immediately.

Therefore, this leader of the New Heaven Society should be a newly ascended True Monarch.

The birth of any top powerhouse is enough to change the pattern of the world!

Inside the Imperial Study, the Emperor held the Jade Seal, exerting all his strength to suppress the turbulent national destiny.

He glanced at the screen in the live broadcast; Li Fei was still standing on the high platform and had not completed his breakthrough.

As a State Marquis, Li Fei was blessed not only with his own destiny but also with the destiny of the Great Lan Dynasty.

Moreover, his breakthrough this time would affect the national destiny of the Great Lan Dynasty, so the connection between the two was further strengthened.

For Qiming of the New Heaven Society to make a move against Li Fei, who was just outside the Imperial City, at this point in time, he could avoid Wenren Zheng, who was not proficient in the Dao of Destiny, but he could not avoid the Emperor in the Imperial Palace.

Therefore, the opponent first used the pawns buried in the five provinces, using the accumulated curse-grievances of the five provinces to shake the national destiny, forcing the Emperor to first use his strength to suppress it.

This gave the opponent an opportunity to successfully set up an "iron wall" on Li Fei's path of destiny.

The Emperor's face was gloomy at this moment, not only because Li Fei was being blocked and the national destiny had not increased.

More importantly, he felt a comprehensive targeting at this moment!

It was like water versus fire, spear versus shield, order versus chaos, survival versus destruction.

The suddenly appearing Qiming made the Emperor feel as if he had seen an enemy of the Great Dao!

"Five provinces, snow disaster."

Inside the Imperial Study, countless light images flickered in the Emperor's eyes, as if a god were reflecting the human world in his eyes.

He quickly figured out how Qiming had broken through his realm.

This newly ascended True Monarch's Dao principles were related to the Dao of Curses; before breaking through, the massive amount of grievances was "sustenance for the Great Dao" for Qiming.

True Monarch Qingxu rebelled and blood-sacrificed nearly a million people in Ming Province!

He set fire to over a dozen cities, causing a catastrophe.

The grievances generated from this were absolutely massive!

If it hadn't been for the timely intervention of that Buddha from Pudu Temple, who used Buddhist dharma to transcend hundreds of thousands of souls and soothe the hearts of millions of people after the disaster, perhaps a newly ascended True Monarch would have appeared shortly after True Monarch Qingxu died!

And even so, the Emperor could be certain that Qiming must have gained a great deal from that catastrophe, his cultivation base having increased significantly, leaving him only a line away from breaking through.

It wasn't until the snow disaster at the beginning of this year, affecting five provinces and millions of people, that it happened.

The New Heaven Society took the opportunity to launch actions in the five provinces, continuing to accumulate "sustenance" for Qiming.

The Dao of Curses must have a target for the curse.

Similar to the Great Vows of Buddhism, the greater the vow, the harder it is to realize, and the higher the upper limit.

By the same logic, the more powerful the target of the curse, the higher the upper limit of the Great Dao will be.

The target Qiming chose for his curse was the entire Great Lan Dynasty!

Others curse people.

He curses a nation!

True Person Qingxu rebelled, damaging the national fortune of the Great Lan Dynasty, which allowed him to see his own opportunity to attain the Dao.

When the five provinces suffered from a snow disaster and the national fortune fluctuated once more, Qiming collected the power of cursed resentment while searching for the opportunity to break through his realm, eventually succeeding!

The key to his success was not the power of cursed resentment from the five provinces, but the fact that the national fortune had fluctuated again.

Cursing a nation—the more a nation declines and the more its national fortune fluctuates, the greater the chance Qiming has to break through his realm.

This is also why the Emperor feels targeted at this moment.

To Li Fei, Qiming is merely an enemy blocking his path, but to the entire Great Lan Dynasty, he is a true enemy of the Great Dao!

On the plaza, Wenren Zheng did not continue his attack.

The deterrent power of Qiming's strike just now had already been successfully established; Wenren Zheng is skilled at killing, not at saving, yet at this moment, he has the entire Lanling City behind him, with over a million citizens he needs to protect!

Construction is always harder than destruction, and protection is harder than annihilation.

Furthermore, Wenren Zheng is currently facing a True Person of the Cursed Dao.

Back when the Western Allied Forces were at the gates, this God of War was responsible for leading the army into battle, while the Imperial Preceptor Yunshu helped protect Lanling City from behind, allowing him to kill without restraint and without worry.

But now, Imperial Preceptor Yunshu has not yet recovered from his severe injuries and is still in seclusion.

Therefore, Wenren Zheng does not dare to ascend to the heavens to fight.

Outside Lanling City, the Tianlan Pasture.

There is a cavalry force here that is famous throughout the world—the Tianlan Iron Cavalry!

As soon as Qiming suddenly appeared, Wenren Zheng issued a military order to the Tianlan Iron Cavalry stationed outside the city.

At this moment, inside the pasture, tens of thousands of Imperial Guard cavalry are rapidly assembling.

Above Lanling City, even from dozens of miles away, and even though the military formation had not yet been activated, Qiming could already sense the monstrous baleful aura!

Once that world-class iron cavalry arrives outside the city, it will not be so easy for him to escape.

Fortunately, he had anticipated this, and the remaining time is enough for him.

"Since I have come to observe the ceremony, I must bring a gift!"

Qiming's voice came from above the firmament:

"The New Heaven Society presents a gift to the Great Lan Dynasty—"

As the words fell, the "Iron Wall" on Li Fei's path of destiny suddenly transformed into a torrent, surging toward him and covering the sky!

At the same time, inside the Imperial Study, the Emperor's expression changed, and the Imperial Jade Seal in his hand shone brightly once again.

He understood why Qiming chose to stand out and reveal his identity today, at the very moment Li Fei was breaking through his realm.

Any trump card is most effective the first time it is used, because others are unaware and find it difficult to defend against.

To what extent can a True Person of the Cursed Dao who has quietly broken through his realm exert influence?

To go to such great lengths, even at the cost of exposing his greatest trump card, just to stop a junior still in the Foundation Establishment stage from breaking through?

Even if Li Fei is the greatest Foundation Establishment cultivator in history with astonishing future potential, it still seems like using a cannon to kill a mosquito.

Why not just find an opportunity to kill him in secret instead of exposing himself publicly?

It is only now that Qiming has suddenly attacked Li Fei that people see his true target—

It is not Li Fei.

Or rather, Li Fei is just an incidental bonus, a "buy one, get one free."

Deep within the Imperial Palace is a palace surrounded by heavy security, guarded not only by elite Imperial Guards but also by True Persons from the Righteous Law Pavilion.

This is the place where Imperial Preceptor Yunshu is in seclusion.

In the battle against True Person Qingxu, Yunshu was truly wounded at his foundation and has been in seclusion for over a year; during this time, he was only called out by the Emperor once to be questioned, which was the time Li Fei was there.

The rest of the time, he has been in seclusion within this palace.

Yunshu's Dao principle is the Dao of "Analysis," and after becoming the Imperial Preceptor, the Great Dao he chose was "Supporting the Dragon."

The Dao that Qingxu stepped onto above the summit is "Rising with the Dragon," establishing a Daoist nation on earth.

Yunshu's Dao is to assist the Great Lan Dynasty in unifying the world.

As long as the Great Lan Dynasty can conquer the Western Continent and complete an unprecedented unification, Yunshu can ride the momentum, transcend the realm of a True Person, and step above the summit!

Therefore, whether it is Qingxu or Qiming, both are enemies of Yunshu's Great Dao!

Likewise, Yunshu is also an enemy of Qiming's Great Dao.

As peak powerhouses, there is no distinction in rank between a Martial Saint and a True Person.

But in terms of the variety of methods and the difficulty of defending against them, a True Person is certainly stronger.

In a head-on fight, Wenren Zheng is confident he could kill Qiming.

But if Qiming is determined to flee, it would be very difficult for Wenren Zheng to do anything to him.

Only Yunshu, who is also a True Person, possesses the "Analysis" Dao principle, and has chosen national fortune as his path to attaining the Dao, poses the greatest threat to Qiming!

In fact, if it weren't for the fact that Yunshu was wounded at his foundation and is in seclusion healing, Qiming would not have been able to break through his realm so smoothly.

It is highly likely that Yunshu would have become an enemy blocking his path!

So this leader of the New Heaven Society is truly good at choosing his timing!

The timing of the breakthrough is one thing, and the timing of his appearance today is also perfect.

The Lan Patrol Pavilion has been established, and a nationwide live-streamed referendum is underway; if this succeeds, the central government's control over the regions will be enhanced, and both national fortune and national strength will increase as a result.

Choosing to jump out today as the leader of the New Heaven Society and publicly oppose the Great Lan Dynasty is meant to strike at the empire's momentum and prevent the national fortune from increasing.

This is the first reason.

To stop Li Fei, the empire's number one genius, from breaking through his realm, thereby further preventing the national fortune from increasing.

This is the second reason.

Finally, and most crucially:

Qiming wants to use Li Fei as a "springboard" to leverage the connection established with the national fortune during his breakthrough to attack Yunshu, who is deeply "bound" to the national fortune!

While one cannot say for sure that he can kill Yunshu, being severely disturbed at a critical moment of healing would very likely cause Yunshu's injuries to worsen.

Qiming wants to completely cut off Yunshu's hope of attaining the Great Dao and ensure that he cannot make a move for at least the next ten years!

As long as he eliminates this Imperial Preceptor who poses the greatest threat to him, the subsequent actions of Qiming and the New Heaven Society will be much smoother.

Such a scheme, with every step linked to the next, is the true handiwork of a True Person.

After the Emperor realized this, he could only act immediately to protect Yunshu.

It is not that he has abandoned Li Fei.

Firstly, Qiming is acting along the path of Li Fei's destiny, which makes it difficult for others to intervene immediately.

Secondly, Li Fei is currently outside the Imperial City.

The Emperor's cultivation is average; it is only because he is the Son of Heaven, bearing the Dragon Qi of the Son of Heaven and the national fortune, that he can command such great power.

But this power is strongest only within the Imperial Palace, and secondarily within the Imperial City.

Once outside the Imperial City, he would fall below the summit.

Therefore, the Emperor could only choose to act to protect Yunshu, who is deep within the Imperial Palace, and even then, it might not be in time, because the opponent made his move first and has already seized the initiative.

As for Li Fei, facing the full-force attack of a True Person of the Cursed Dao, there is absolutely no possibility of survival!

With a heavy heart, the Emperor projected his power toward the place where Yunshu was in seclusion.

At the same time, outside the Imperial City, on the high platform.

After Qiming finished speaking, Li Fei's entire body suddenly erupted with a deep blue light, with monstrous cursed power surging within it!

Wenren Zheng immediately acted to protect the Crown Prince and the others, preventing them from being accidentally injured.

On the other side, the group of Martial Dao masters and True Persons immediately activated their strongest defensive measures and quickly moved away from Li Fei, avoiding him like a venomous snake or scorpion.

"Marquis of Jing'an Li Fei shall fall today—"

Qiming's voice descended from the sky, sealing the fate of Li Fei!

To outsiders, the gift from the New Heaven Society today is to make the Great Lan Dynasty lose one number one genius and one of its youngest national marquises!

Datong Prefecture, Wu'an University.

Shi Caiming stood up abruptly, looking at the image on the television screen, shocked and furious, when he suddenly began to cough violently and spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Principal!"

Qin Zhen, who was beside him, hurriedly supported him.

Feng Province provincial capital, Lu Mansion.

"Hahahaha, you can be considered to have died as you deserved!"

Lu Wenzheng laughed heartily.

Finally, there is one less opponent who was like a bone stuck in his throat!

Xu Jing, who was beside him, also breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that the stone pressing on his state of mind had loosened:

"Although he did not die by my hand, this is also good..."

The joyful mood of the two did not last long.

Because from the live television broadcast, it could be seen that Li Fei, who had clearly been struck by the methods of that newly ascended True Person, had not fallen.

Li Fei was still standing tall on the high platform!

When the "Iron Wall" transformed into a torrent and swept toward him, he had nowhere to hide and could only block it head-on.

Unlike any attack he had faced before, this was the first time Li Fei had directly withstood the power of a Dao principle!

The invisible torrent composed of infinite power of cursed resentment crashed into Li Fei, making him understand for the first time what Qiming's Dao principle power was.

Other curses are curses for you to die.

Qiming's curse is a curse that kills you!

Once tainted by the power of his curse, no matter how abundant one's life force may be, as long as one cannot break or resist the curse at the level of Dao principles, the damage caused by the curse will exist forever until the cursed target is completely dead.

This is what is called a curse that kills you!

It has nothing to do with the amount of power; this is an absolute crushing at the level of power!

No matter what Dao energy, techniques, or sword stances Li Fei unleashed, he could not resist this power.

Even an eighth-grade exotic beast would quickly suffer from rotting flesh and blood, organ failure, and a weakening life force, eventually dying completely.

But after being hit, Li Fei still stood perfectly fine on the spot, without shedding a drop of blood or losing a piece of flesh.

Because the Myriad Blood Bead transferred the damage!

Even damage at the level of Dao principles can still be transferred by the Myriad Blood Bead!

After the damage was weakened by 100 times, the remaining 1% of damage could not cause any harm to Li Fei, who was in his sword stance.

After the power of the Heavenly Water Soul Bone reached a balance, the Dao foundation was no longer damaged, and the Myriad Blood Bead was finally no longer "half-blooded."

Not only that, with the 【Heaven-Mixing Origin Gold】 incorporated into the fifth implant, it underwent a second strengthening, and Li Fei ultimately gained over 500 more blood souls.

So at this moment, the number of blood souls in his Myriad Blood Bead is 2, 27, and the number in the blood spring is still 3, 00!

The first impact of the curse torrent caused the blood souls in Li Fei's Myriad Blood Bead to instantly drop to only 10, and the blood souls in the blood spring decreased by over 500.

The first wave of this torrent alone caused Li Fei to lose over 3, 00 blood souls!

The second wave, which followed immediately, could have taken Li Fei out directly.

But while the damage was terrifying, the energy absorbed by the Myriad Blood Bead was also extremely terrifying!

If a Dao Foundation stage martial artist were to continuously attack Li Fei, even if they managed to deplete 3, 00 of his blood souls, the Myriad Blood Bead might not necessarily level up.

Because the level of energy is too low.

But when a True Monarch attacks with the power of Dao principles, the energy level is directly maxed out!

The 2, 00-plus blood souls in the Myriad Blood Bead were instantly cleared, and the Myriad Blood Bead leveled up 3 times in a row!

It rose from level 33 to 36; the cleared blood souls were not only instantly restored to full, but there were also 200 more than before, bringing the total to 2, 31!

Immediately following, the second wave struck; the Myriad Blood Bead again decreased to only 10 blood souls, and the blood souls in the blood spring decreased by over 1, 00.

Then the Myriad Blood Bead leveled up 3 more times!

It rose to level 39, the blood souls were restored to full, and the total increased by 222, becoming 2, 53!

Finally, the third wave struck; the Myriad Blood Bead's blood souls were once again left with only 10, and the blood souls in the blood spring decreased by over 1, 00.

The Myriad Blood Bead leveled up 2 more times!

Level 41, blood souls increased by 158.

After the three waves, this attack by Qiming finally came to an end.

The total amount of blood souls in the Myriad Blood Bead within Li Fei's body reached 3, 11, and 256 blood souls remained in the blood spring.

Heaven have mercy, Li Fei had never experienced such fast leveling!

In the blink of an eye, the Myriad Blood Bead leveled up 8 times!

He looked up at the sky and shouted loudly:

"Qiming!! Is this all your skill amounts to?!"

"How is that possible?"

For a moment, everyone present stared dumbfounded at that figure on the platform.

Even Wenren Zheng, the Martial Saint, looked at Li Fei with shock in his eyes.

A True Monarch attacked, yet failed to kill him?

Not only was he safe and sound, but he even dared to provoke a True Monarch?

Everything that happened on the high platform was too subversive to people's perception!

Qiming, above the firmament, was equally stunned.

According to his estimates, the first wave of his attack alone would have been enough to kill Li Fei, and the remaining power would have followed the connection of the national destiny to strike at Xiang Yunshu, who was in seclusion healing, catching the other party off guard.

As a result, this attack was actually completely blocked by Li Fei?!

"What the hell are you relying on?"

Qiming almost couldn't help but curse out loud.

Just a moment ago, he had set up obstacles on Li Fei's path to breaking through his realm, preventing Li Fei from succeeding.

Now it was Li Fei's turn to stand in his way.

One man guarding the pass, and even a True Monarch could not break through!

Having lost the opportunity of the first strike, not only was Xiang Yunshu now on guard, but the Emperor within the Imperial Palace had also set up obstacles in the "pool" of national destiny, which could defend against his second strike.

There would be no better opportunity than the one just now.

All his schemes and countless efforts had turned into nothingness before that figure on the high platform!

Qiming had calculated every variable and obstacle, but he had never imagined that his grand plan would be ruined by a mere junior at the Dao Foundation stage.

"Today, this Marquis invites the heroes of the world to witness a grand feat."

Li Fei looked up at the sky and continued:

"As a True Monarch, you used despicable means to ambush me, a junior at the Dao Foundation stage. In my eyes, you are not worthy of being called a hero. Get out—"

This last word, "get out," sounded like the ringing of a sword and echoed through the clouds!

I invited the heroes of the world to witness my breakthrough; you are not worthy of being called a hero, so get out!

This scene was also seen by millions of people via live television broadcast.

The Marquis of Jing'an publicly told a peak powerhouse to get out!

Above the firmament, Qiming was furious and was about to attack Li Fei again.

But a force of Dao principles had already protected Li Fei.

He had laid the groundwork with the technique of using stars to enter one's fate, acting against Li Fei on the path of fate so that Wenren Zheng, who was protecting the Dao, could not intervene immediately.

But so much time had passed since he started his attack; even if Wenren Zheng was not a True Monarch and did not have as many methods, he was still a peak powerhouse who had mastered Dao principles, and he finally found the right direction to send his power onto Li Fei's path of fate.

If he were to attack Li Fei again, he would be clashing head-on with Wenren Zheng.

Still the same saying, the best timing had already been missed.

And Qiming knew clearly that the price he would have to pay was not just as simple as missing a good opportunity!

This point would only be revealed in the future.

Even if this True Monarch, who was best at seizing opportunities, was furious in his heart, he could only choose to retreat.

Any later, and the Heavenly Blue Iron Cavalry would arrive!

Above the firmament, no more sound came.

"."

The scene was quiet for a few seconds.

Everyone was waiting for the counterattack after the True Monarch's thunderous rage.

As a result, nothing happened.

Li Fei turned his head to look at Wenren Zheng on the city wall behind him.

Wenren Zheng spoke slowly:

"That person has already left."

Hearing this, the expressions of the powerhouses present were somewhat dazed.

The Marquis of Jing'an told a True Monarch to get out.

And the other party actually got out???

The series of events that happened today were too surreal, making people feel as if they were in a dream.

"Li Fei."

Wenren Zheng descended from the city wall at some point and arrived on the high platform.

"Grand Marshal."

Li Fei saluted Wenren Zheng.

If he hadn't sensed the other party's power of Dao principles protecting him just now, he wouldn't have dared to tell Qiming to get out.

He was brave, but he wasn't brainless.

There weren't many blood souls left in the blood spring; if Qiming had hit him again, he would likely have been finished.

"Can you still break through?"

Wenren Zheng asked.

Looking into the other party's eyes, Li Fei suddenly felt a surge of heroism:

"Why not?"

A hint of a smile appeared on Wenren Zheng's usually stern face, and then his expression became solemn again; he actually cupped his hands to Li Fei and said:

"This Marshal will protect your Dao; please, Marquis of Jing'an, break through!"

The "God of War" took the initiative to salute Li Fei!

The bystanders watched this scene, feeling numb.

There had been too many shocks today; they were already shocked numb.

Li Fei was also somewhat flattered.

In fact, he didn't know that this salute from Wenren Zheng was not only out of appreciation and admiration for him, but also gratitude for his contributions to the Great Lan Dynasty!

Wenren Zheng had already guessed some of the dangers hidden behind today's events, which was why he offered this salute.

"Very well, many thanks, Grand Marshal!"

Li Fei returned the salute to Wenren Zheng.

He turned around, took a deep breath, and slowly closed his eyes.

The next second, the power of the martial path and the art of sorcery, which had already completed their fusion, surged forth from his body once again.

Inside his body, the five implants of the 【Primordial Heaven Gold】 had completed their preliminary fusion and began to construct the true foundation of his martial path.

The differentiated true soul transformed into a true spirit, which was now truly merging into the body of the flying sword.

That powerful aura reappeared, shooting straight into the clouds!

The Crown Prince, the First Imperial Prince, the Third Imperial Prince, Qin Zishu, and a group of ministers all stared fixedly at that figure.

Not far away, Zhu Fenghua, Shentu Yue, Ning Chuan, Lan Ruoyun, and a group of experts were also watching without blinking.

Inside the Imperial Study, the Emperor's gaze fell upon the desk, where a slip of paper lay.

He scanned the first three sentences and finally fixed his gaze on the last one:

A single sword can hold off a million troops!

In front of television screens, over a million people subconsciously clenched their fists, many of them praying for this Marquis of Jing'an.

At this moment, Li Fei was the focus of the entire world!

All his power turned into a torrent, rising upward, growing stronger and stronger.

This time, no one could stop Li Fei from breaking through his realm!

And so, the barrier that was like a natural chasm to many was crossed by him just like that.

A dazzling golden light bloomed from Li Fei's body, and immediately after, a golden pillar of light shot into the sky.

Connecting heaven and earth!

The vast aura made all the martial arts masters present change color in unison.

When they broke through their own realms, they had nothing even remotely close to this level of momentum.

As for the television screens, nothing remained but a screen full of gold.

On the high platform, Li Fei opened his eyes.

Martial path, Master realm, achieved!

Sorcery path, True Spirit realm, achieved!

Such an achievement was only reached by the world's number one, Lin Tian, at the age of 32.

Li Fei had done it 12 years earlier than him!

At 20 years old, he had simultaneously become a martial arts master and a contemporary True Person.

He had even blocked a strike from a True Monarch while at the Dao Foundation realm.

There has been no one like him before, and I fear there will be few to follow!

Throughout the ages, counting all the illustrious figures.

Look to the present day!
