Chapter 790: How to Pacify the World (6000)

Nine fire dragons charged into the great formation.

Each fire dragon was over three hundred meters long, carrying temperatures of several thousand degrees Celsius and a destructive aura; the might of any single one was no less than that of an Earth-grade magic treasure!

The nine fire dragons arrived suddenly, as if nine top-tier True Persons of the "Earth Fiend" level were attacking simultaneously.

This was the power of the "Great Vast Nine Dragon Boat," the life-bound magic treasure of the Fire Qilin tribe's Great Elder, Nuomuhan!

After cultivating the Heaven Fiend and Earth Fiend formation style of his life-bound magic treasure to Great Perfection, he could split the formation into nine or merge the nine into one.

Now, the formation was split into nine, manifesting as nine heaven-burning fire dragons; two of them lunged at Qi Zhou and Ji Yifan respectively, while the other seven charged at the blood-colored giant transformed by Bai Yan!

Decades ago, Nuomuhan had seen through Bai Yan's schemes, so he took a massive risk by establishing a connection between his personal fortune and the fortune of all Fire Qilin tribe branches.

Therefore, when Bai Yan refined those tens of thousands of people from the Fire Qilin tribe branch, Nuomuhan sensed it immediately.

For the survival and heritage of his tribe, he could endure it.

But with new hatred added to old, this Great Elder of the Fire Qilin tribe could no longer hold back!

With the tribe leader and all other elders away, there was no one left in the Fire Qilin tribe headquarters who could restrain this Great Elder.

Thus, Nuomuhan left the Sacred Mountain and charged out.

Given his flight speed, he had long since caught up with Bo'erhu's personal guard army.

But he had not revealed himself, hiding in the shadows instead, just to catch Bai Yan off guard at the critical moment!

However, upon seeing the compass in the air, Nuomuhan realized his plan for a sneak attack would likely fall through.

This compass contained a portion of the power of the Law of Analysis; although Yunshu was not personally present, this power could still slowly take effect.

Its function was to continuously analyze all information within the range of the light barrier!

Once information such as Bo'erhu's Dao foundation, divine abilities, Martial Dao domain, energy circulation, and martial arts weaknesses were all thoroughly analyzed, Bai Yan would not need more than three moves to kill him!

The so-called "omniscience is omnipotence"; the advantage brought by the Law of Analysis in battle is enormous.

It could be said that if Bai Yan used such a method before the battle began, his victory over Bo'erhu was only a matter of time!

Likewise, with such power shrouding the entire field, it became very difficult for Nuomuhan to sneak attack Bai Yan.

After figuring this out, Nuomuhan stopped waiting and decisively entered the fray.

Facing the seven heaven-burning fire dragons that suddenly attacked, Bai Yan was not surprised in the slightest.

The blood-colored giant's body suddenly shrank, from over three hundred meters tall down to two hundred.

As the body shrank, the blood-colored giant's power became more condensed, and the aura it erupted with became even more powerful!

Facing the incoming seven fire dragons, the black long spear danced, seemingly manifesting seven spears in an instant.

All seven spears accurately pierced the heads of the fire dragons.

Because the erupted power was too strong, the ground beneath the blood-colored giant collapsed violently; the earth shook again, and every piece of gravel splashing outward was comparable to a bullet!

Dust filled the sky.

The seven fire dragons were blasted apart almost simultaneously!

The sea of fire covering the sky engulfed several hundred meters in every direction, and the temperature of the entire battlefield rose significantly, leaving everyone feeling as if they were inside a furnace.

Having blasted apart seven heaven-burning fire dragons in one move, the blood-colored giant flicked its wrist, the long spear swung back violently, and it stabbed toward Bo'erhu once more.

Two moves later, a series of muffled, thunder-like sonic booms and explosions finally erupted.

"Bo'erhu, is this all you've got?!"

Bai Yan ignored Nuomuhan, who had suddenly arrived, keeping his focus on Bo'erhu.

True battlefield warriors grow braver with each fight; although Bai Yan had previously sparred with the three Imperial Guard armies for a long time, drills are different from real combat, so he had not used his full strength at first, instead constantly adjusting the army formation and baleful aura to fine-tune his state.

When Nuomuhan suddenly attacked, Bai Yan finally stopped holding back and used his full strength!

He stabbed his spear toward Bo'erhu, and as the spear thrust out, the space around Bo'erhu suddenly solidified, making him like a mosquito in amber, unable to move in the slightest!

Although the power Bo'erhu had erupted with previously was strong, it was only a hair's breadth stronger than a peak Grandmaster of the Dao-Establishing Realm.

There was still a significant gap from the rumored combat power of his opponent.

Therefore, Bai Yan knew that Bo'erhu also hadn't used his full strength.

Facing this lethal spear strike, Bo'erhu's body suddenly expanded and grew larger; the black armor he wore shattered with a boom, and all the fragments merged into his body.

Five meters tall, covered in scales, with two horns on his head and a pair of huge wings on his back.

This was Bo'erhu's current image.

He, too, had beast-transformed without reservation!

"Just as I thought."

Seeing this scene, Bai Yan was not surprised.

Forcing the Northern Barbarian King to beast-transform was equivalent to crippling him; in a sense, the mission was accomplished.

But Bai Yan felt no joy at this moment.

Because Bo'erhu's beast-transformation was highly likely to be different from others; even after transforming, he might not need to pay a heavy price!

The Northern Barbarian Martial Dao heritage was far behind that of the Central Plains; although their physiques were tougher than Central Plains martial artists and they even possessed desperate measures like controllable beast-transformation, the difficulty of breaking through realms was far greater than the Central Plains' heritage.

The mainstream Five Elements Dao foundation of Central Plains martial arts, after thousands of years of evolution, had neared perfection; it was the most solid foundation with the lowest risk and the lowest difficulty for breaking through realms!

Martial Dao heritages in other regions, while having their own unique features and being stronger than Central Plains martial arts in certain aspects, could at most be considered narrow paths rather than broad avenues.

This is why, for over five hundred years, the Northern Barbarians had produced only one Martial Saint.

The Grassland Royal Court to the east and the two great desert nations to the south also rarely produced peak powerhouses.

Under these circumstances, no one in the Central Plains had ever possessed combat power exceeding the Grandmaster realm while at that realm; why would the Northern Barbarians be able to?

The "Prince-level" of the Western Continent was due to special bloodlines, and the Northern Barbarians had no special bloodlines.

Therefore, the Great Lan Dynasty's judgment of Bo'erhu's super-strong combat power was—beast-transformation!

This was the only reason that could explain his possession of Prince-level combat power.

But Bo'erhu could not possibly sever his own Martial Dao future just to win a single match; even if he truly unified the Northern Barbarians, he would never be able to reach the summit again.

So Yunshu's speculation was that, for some unknown reason, Bo'erhu could use beast-transformation without paying a very heavy price, and his Martial Dao future would not be severed.

Seeing Bo'erhu suddenly use beast-transformation, Bai Yan became even more certain of this speculation.

It was not yet the most desperate time, so the opponent could not possibly choose the most suicidal fighting style now.

Therefore, it could only be that the price of Bo'erhu's beast-transformation was different from others.

The long spear stabbed toward the beast-transformed Bo'erhu, and the opponent charged head-on into the spear.

In the blink of an eye, the two sides collided over a hundred times within this solidified space!

The black dragon spear in the blood-colored giant's hand shattered inch by inch again, and Bo'erhu was covered in blood with both arms fractured.

But his injuries were healing at an extremely fast speed, and the black dragon spear in the blood-colored giant's hand also re-condensed.

The seven fire dragons that had been blasted apart were reborn from the sea of fire simultaneously, charging at the blood-colored giant once more!

On the other side, Qi Zhou and Ji Yifan both expanded their own Martial Dao domains, pulling the incoming heaven-burning fire dragons into their domains.

Both were Grandmasters of the Peak-Extreme Realm; expanding their Martial Dao domains within the great formation subjected them to a certain amount of suppression, so they were temporarily entangled by the heaven-burning fire dragons.

In the sky, Mi Han's life-bound flying sword suddenly split into thousands of sword beams, continuously passing through the black dragon's body, causing the scales and flesh on its body to be stripped away, like a slow execution!

Wuri Tianji, while using his own life-bound magic treasure to counter Mi Han's flying sword, mobilized the power of the great formation to suppress Qiu Zi'an, allowing those five immortal blood shadows to entangle the opponent.

For a time, the top combatants on the battlefield were all temporarily constrained.

Li Fei and four other Martial Dao Masters, along with two True Persons from the Law Enforcement Pavilion, were also continuing to charge forward.

Three Martial Dao Masters were responsible for leading the three Imperial Guard armies and were currently inside the blood-colored giant, so these seven were the only high-end combat power remaining for the Barbarian-Slaying Army.

They also had the ability to change the situation on the field!

On the mountain peak, following an order from Wuri Tianji, one after another, the Ba-Capital powerhouses leaped down.

There were a total of fourteen Ba-Capital powerhouses in the Northern Barbarian King's personal guard army, two of whom were True Persons currently assisting Wuri Tianji in maintaining the Twelve Heavens Blood Fiend Formation.

Five Ba-Capital powerhouses had just chosen to sacrifice themselves, so the remaining Ba-Capital powerhouses who could still fight were seven, exactly matching the number on the Barbarian-Slaying Army's side.

However, besides these seven Ba-Capital powerhouses, there were over thirty Tu-Capital warriors on the Northern Barbarian side who chose to sacrifice themselves, becoming immortal blood shadows.

These thirty-plus Tu-Capital warriors could not stop a Grandmaster, but they could cause trouble for the Martial Dao Masters.

And besides them, there were over ninety Tu-Capital warriors in the personal guard army!

At this moment, these one hundred and thirty-plus people followed the five Ba-Capital powerhouses as they leaped down the mountain peak, launching a charge toward the Barbarian-Slaying Army.

"Is this your reliance?"

Bai Yan glanced at the situation on the mountain peak and asked Bo'erhu.

Bo'erhu did not speak, simply charging toward the blood-colored giant again.

After beast-transforming, he actually suppressed the blood-colored giant in a head-on collision!

Coupled with the aid of the seven fire dragons, he finally gained the upper hand in the clash.

Bo'erhu also noticed the situation on the mountain peak.

He knew that Nuomuhan was following in the shadows.

Moreover, he knew that even though the Great Lan Dynasty had assembled an elite force like the Barbarian-Slaying Army to decapitate him, the number of Heaven-Capital powerhouses sent would not be too many.

The number of Heaven-Capital powerhouses on the Great Lan Dynasty's side was several times that of the Northern Barbarians!

Even setting aside those powerhouses in the Jianghu, there were quite a few Heaven-Capital powerhouses belonging to the imperial court.

If all these Heaven-Capital powerhouses had charged into the Northern Barbarians this time, Bo'erhu would surely die!

However, he was very clear that this was impossible.

Just as he had already obtained the public allegiance of eleven tribes, yet after issuing the order for full support, apart from the Fire Qilin tribe's Great Elder who chose to take the risk out of hatred, the other ten tribes combined hadn't sent a few Heaven-Capital powerhouses.

The Great Lan Dynasty appeared to have so many Heaven-Capital powerhouses at its disposal, but in reality, how many could one truly count on at a critical moment?

The Great Lan Dynasty's comprehensive strength was indeed far stronger than the Northern Barbarians, but its various infighting and internal attrition were also far greater than the Northern Barbarians!

It was a simple truth: Xu Jing was also a Grandmaster, but Li Fei had joined the Barbarian-Slaying Army; even if Xu Jing were willing, the Emperor could not possibly send him to join the Barbarian-Slaying Army, nor could he send any Martial Dao Masters related to the Lu family.

Other powerhouses within the Barbarian-Slaying Army also had similar considerations.

Bo'erhu liked reading history; after becoming the Northern Barbarian King, he was able to grasp one point even more deeply:

The strength of a country or an organization cannot be judged solely by its data on paper; what truly matters is the magnitude of the combined force it can form at critical moments.

For an army, being able to make two or three tenths of its soldiers united as one, absolutely obedient to orders, and daring to fight to the death, already makes it a strong army.

As for an army where all soldiers dare to fight and struggle, daring to fight to the death until the very last person, Bo'erhu searched through history and could not find even a few such armies.

As for such countries or organizations, there was not even one!

Even Bo'erhu's own personal guards, at such a dangerous moment, still did not have many people willing to voluntarily undergo beast-transformation to sacrifice themselves to the grand array.

Therefore, he also did not believe that the Great Lan Dynasty could send many powerhouses to kill him.

As long as he, Wuri Tianji, and Nuomuhan could temporarily block all the Heaven-Capital level powerhouses of the Barbarian-Slaying Army, he believed that his side held the advantage in the remaining battles between the Hegemon-Capital powerhouses and the Earth-Capital warriors!

If that really didn't work, his personal guards still had over ten thousand warriors remaining, among whom at least two or three thousand were willing to undergo beast-transformation and sacrifice themselves for him.

This was also a force that could not be ignored!

This was Bo'erhu's reliance; this tactic of his was learned from the battle examples of the Western Allied Forces invading the Great Lan Dynasty back then:

Use lower-level military force to influence the middle level, then use middle-level military force to influence the upper level, rolling layer by layer in this way to secure victory like a snowball!

A distance of three li, even if not flat ground and filled with various hills and trees, would not take long for a Martial Arts Master to traverse.

With Li Fei executing the Sword State: Heaven and Earth Unbound, his movement speed was faster than the other few Martial Arts Masters.

He charged at the very front, taking the lead!

The Golden Thread Jade Scale Armor on his body had already entered combat mode, turning into a full set of golden scale armor that wrapped around his entire body.

He intentionally avoided the battlefield of the three Grandmasters; after crossing another hill, on a slope several hundred meters ahead, he saw a Northern Barbarian warrior leaping high, jumping over twenty meters into the air.

Subsequently, he landed heavily more than two hundred meters away, smashing a large crater into the ground!

This person was clearly a Hegemon-Capital powerhouse of the Northern Barbarians, also taking the lead and charging at the very front of his own side.

He was over two meters tall, wearing a light brown animal skin, holding a pair of heavy hammers in his hands, with blue electric light flashing all over his body, looking astonishingly imposing.

After he landed from the air, only thirty-some meters remained between him and Li Fei.

For two Martial Arts Masters, this distance was no different from being face-to-face.

This Hegemon-Capital powerhouse revealed a ferocious smile and roared loudly in the Central Plains language:

"I am..."

Before he could finish speaking, his expression changed, and he abruptly turned to swing his heavy hammers toward the right side.

Li Fei appeared instantly on his right, punching over!

This Hegemon-Capital warrior's reaction speed was extremely fast, and his movements were truly like lightning, completing the turn and hammer swing in an instant, with all the blue lightning on his body surface concentrated on the heavy hammer in his right hand.

This was his divine ability 【Mystic Thunder】!

It could convert internal energy into a special lightning power, possessing both extreme lethality and the ability to significantly enhance reaction speed, movement speed, and attack speed.

Besides this, it could also significantly enhance physical strength, allowing the lightning power to be circulated at a speed far exceeding the flow of internal energy, and even using this lightning power to repair a damaged body.

Similar to Li Fei's 【Heaven-Mixing Golden Palace】, 【Mystic Thunder】 was also a comprehensive divine ability.

The fist flashing with golden light collided with the heavy hammer flickering with blue lightning, and the ground beneath the two men instantly collapsed downward!

The massive shockwave pulverized all the surrounding trees and rocks.

Because the 【Mystic Thunder】 divine ability could significantly enhance physical strength, and the Dao foundation this person cultivated also focused on physical strength, he was even stronger than many seventh-grade exotic beasts in head-on clashes!

But when Li Fei's fist smashed into his heavy hammer, a massive force far exceeding his imagination struck!

The heavy hammer dented inward, and the blue lightning on it scattered in all directions.

The web between the thumb and index finger of this Hegemon-Capital powerhouse split open immediately, his wrist bone fractured, and the heavy hammer in his hand was struck to hit his own chest in reverse!

His chest caved inward, he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, and his entire body flashed with electric light again, instantly tearing through the air and retreating backward at supersonic speed.

While retreating, he used Mystic Thunder to heal himself.

A golden figure appeared on his retreat path, drawing a blade to slash at him.

This Hegemon-Capital powerhouse felt a huge crisis and immediately wanted to execute another divine ability.

But his mind suddenly jolted, and a sea of blood appeared before his eyes...

The golden blade light erupted in the jungle, slashing through countless trees and rocks along the way, and finally spread out for two hundred meters before stopping.

In front of Li Fei, the Hegemon-Capital powerhouse who used heavy hammers had already been cut in two by his blade!

A Martial Arts Master with three divine abilities had been killed instantly like this before he could even use all of them!

Li Fei's body expanded, having already entered the 'Blood Demon State', and he had consumed 580 blood souls to execute 【Blood Rage】.

However, he had not used the Vajra Seal for those two strikes just now, relying solely on the limit of strength his body could withstand to crush his opponent.

After slaying this opponent, Li Fei did not stop and continued to charge forward.

While charging, the words Bai Yan had said to him before the battle surfaced in his mind:

"In this battle, the most ideal situation is that we few Grandmasters and top-tier True Persons can resolve the battle with our strikes. But there is also a possibility that all of us top combatants will be temporarily tied down, and at that time, you will need to break the stalemate.

I am clear about your abilities; you may become the most critical link on the battlefield when the time comes!"

The current situation was indeed as Bai Yan had predicted, requiring the power of the Martial Arts Master level to break the stalemate.

Li Fei looked ahead; his actions just now immediately attracted the attention of the powerhouses on the Northern Barbarian side.

Three Hegemon-Capital powerhouses charged at him simultaneously!

This was a battlefield; there was no talk of one-on-one.

On the battlefield, the more dazzling one performs, the closer one is to the Grim Reaper!

Li Fei did not dodge, charging forward to meet these three Hegemon-Capital powerhouses.

Just as the three Hegemon-Capital powerhouses were about to complete their encirclement, Li Fei suddenly disappeared from his original spot and then appeared behind one of them.

Possessing the 【No-Distance】 divine ability, he was not afraid of being surrounded at all!

Behind Li Fei, it was as if a 'Heaven Gate' had opened, with a massive amount of Heaven and Earth spiritual energy pouring into his body; he gripped the Ghost-Slaying Blade with both hands, the Blood Rage power equivalent to 1160 blood souls erupted within him, and he slashed down with the blade!

The Hegemon-Capital powerhouse he attacked did not turn around; a circular dark iron shield engraved with thorn patterns suddenly appeared on his back.

Bang!!!

The Ghost-Slaying Blade struck this shield, erupting with a large spray of sparks.

A notch appeared on the shield, but it was not broken by Li Fei.

Not only that, Li Fei also felt a massive rebounding force coming from the shield!

Divine Ability—【Thorn Shield】.

Its effect is to reflect all physical attacks!

The Ghost-Slaying Blade in Li Fei's hand vibrated violently, the golden light on his body surface cracked, and the Sword State: Golden Body Jade Marrow had been broken by his own attack!

However, with the Ten Thousand Blood Bead transferring the damage, he was not injured by his own attack.

Glancing at the notch on the Thorn Shield, he knew that this divine ability of the opponent was not unsolvable; he could use 【Blood Might God】 to attack their mind, or simply break their damage-bearing limit.

But he had no intention of entangling with such an 'iron turtle' opponent; as the opponent turned around to prepare a counterattack, the Ghost-Slaying Blade suddenly bloomed with ten thousand rays of golden light.

【Infinite Brightness Fire】!

The golden light enveloped the surrounding dozens of meters, and all three Hegemon-Capital powerhouses were hit simultaneously.

Li Fei's move did not seek to injure the enemy, only to temporarily affect the opponents' perception and hinder the three from joining forces.

Taking advantage of the brightness not yet dissipating, he had already appeared behind another Hegemon-Capital powerhouse, slashing down with the blade in both hands.

This Hegemon-Capital powerhouse did not have a divine ability like 【Thorn Shield】, but he did not dodge either; his figure changed, and two heads and four arms suddenly appeared on his back.

Divine Ability—【Three Heads and Six Arms】!

Of the two extra heads, one had a face full of compassion, and the other had a face full of rage.

The compassionate face's eyes emitted white light, looking at Li Fei, causing the fighting spirit in Li Fei's heart to diminish significantly, and the erupted Blood Rage power also decreased by a portion.

Even the internal energy and true power on the Ghost-Slaying Blade dissipated by a portion rapidly!

The compassionate face controlled two arms to press palms together, clamping the slashing Ghost-Slaying Blade.

At the same time, the angry face's eyes emitted red light, also looking at Li Fei.

Wherever the gaze reached, the golden light on Li Fei's body surface weakened by a notch.

The angry face also controlled two arms, with two fists emitting red light, slamming together toward Li Fei's chest.

Boom!!!

The ground beneath the two men also collapsed downward.

Li Fei was punched in the chest, the defense of the Golden Body Jade Marrow was broken again, but the Golden Thread Jade Scale Armor on his body blocked the remaining force, so he was not affected in the slightest.

The Ghost-Slaying Blade he slashed was clamped by the opponent's two hands, but even the weakened power still exceeded the opponent's expectations.

A flash of astonishment crossed the eyes of the compassionate face.

The blade edge forcibly slid between the opponent's palms, slashing toward the compassionate face's head, splitting it open from the middle!

The remaining power slashed entirely into the opponent's body.

Without the compassionate face's head, the two arms clamping the blade edge disappeared immediately; this Hegemon-Capital powerhouse spat out a mouthful of blood and hurriedly dodged to the side.

Li Fei was thoughtful; it seems this 【Three Heads and Six Arms】 divine ability of the opponent not only gave them two extra sets of combat systems that could cooperate with each other, but also gave them two extra lives?

In less than a second, the disappeared head and arms reappeared!

It looks like the opponent also has a divine ability similar to 【Regeneration】.

Another one that is hard to kill!

Li Fei's eyes were sharp; seeing that the three Hegemon-Capital powerhouses were about to converge, countless sword-qi suddenly surged out from within his body.

A golden sphere enveloped the four of them within it.

Sword Stance: Primordial Sword Realm!

The experts from both the Northern Barbarians and the Barbarian-Slaying Army noticed the golden sphere on the battlefield, recognizing it as a small world formed by human effort.

Such a small world is difficult to break from the inside, but very easy to destroy from the outside!

Both sides rushed toward this location, wanting to support their own people.

Someone on the Northern Barbarian side possessed a flight-type divine ability, while all experts of the Barbarian-Slaying Army were restricted from flying, so in the end, it was a Hegemon-level expert with a flight ability who arrived above the Primordial Sword Realm first.

Just as he prepared to strike and shatter this small world of Li Fei to deal Li Fei a heavy blow.

The golden sphere suddenly unraveled on its own.

A golden figure rushed out from within, then instantly appeared atop the canopy of a large tree.

This person was none other than Li Fei.

He was seen holding a saber in his right hand and a severed head high in his left, letting out a long howl!

The sound of the long howl resounded throughout the entire battlefield.

Among the three Hegemon-level experts, two possessed divine abilities adept at self-preservation; fortunately, the third one did not.

Thus, inside the Primordial Sword Realm, while the other two were blocked by sword Qi, this person was targeted by Li Fei with his full strength, seized by the opportunity using 【Blood Might God】 to forcibly control him, and then beheaded with a single saber strike!

In less than a minute, Li Fei had killed two enemy Hegemon-level experts in a row!

At this moment, all the top experts clashing on the battlefield could not help but look toward Li Fei's direction.

After howling at the sky, Li Fei felt incomparably exhilarated.

In his mind, he could not help but recall that gold medal inscribed with "As If I Am Personally Present," followed by the scene of the day he was enfeoffed as a Marquis.

Marquis of Jing'an.

How can one pacify the world?

Only by standing tall with a horizontal saber!

Seeking monthly tickets.
