Chapter 806: The Fierce Blast Across the Sky, The Wrath of the Peak

~21 min read 4,035 words

In the sky, two streaks of light, one gold and one red, streaked past at high speed in succession.

After reaching the Grandmaster realm, one can possess the ability to fly even without flight-type divine abilities.

Their Martial Dao Domain is equivalent to a self-contained small world; just as a bubble can float in water, a Grandmaster only needs to keep their Martial Dao Domain in a state between retracted and manifested to soar freely through the great world.

As for flight speed, it is related to the strength of the Martial Dao Domain.

If one possesses a flight-type divine ability, the flight speed will naturally be faster, and their aerial combat capability will also be stronger.

It is just that neither Qiu Zi'an nor Qi Zhou possesses a flight-type divine ability.

Normally, Qiu Zi'an is a Grandmaster of the Divine Derivation Realm, and the strength of her Martial Dao Domain is above Qi Zhou's, so her flight speed would be faster than Qi Zhou's.

But she was severely injured first and has consumed a massive amount of energy, making it difficult for her to even maintain her Martial Dao Domain, so even though Qi Zhou is still carrying a clone, her flight speed is only a hair faster than Qi Zhou's, and it is difficult to sustain.

Qi Zhou also relied on this point to conclude that he could definitely catch up to Qiu Zi'an.

The two of them, one chasing and one fleeing, continued for three minutes.

Up ahead, Qiu Zi'an's speed slowed down.

Seeing this, Qi Zhou immediately activated 【Shadow Concealment】; a shadow enveloped him and his clone, and the two disappeared into the air.

He knew that Qiu Zi'an would not keep running forever, because both sides knew clearly that if she kept running, Qiu Zi'an would have no chance of survival at all.

Qiu Zi'an's only path to survival was to fight!

And Qi Zhou could tell that, given her current state, she could at most condense her Martial Dao Domain into a blade aura and unleash one attack of the Divine Derivation Realm.

Of course, Qi Zhou would not easily let Qiu Zi'an strike him.

He did not even open his Martial Dao Domain, directly controlling his clone to activate 【Heavenly Mirror】.

A translucent circular mirror appeared above Qiu Zi'an's head; Qiu Zi'an let out a cold snort and accelerated to dodge.

The next second, thousands of silk threads wrapped around the golden ball of light on her body.

Qiu Zi'an only needed to expand her own Martial Dao Domain to easily neutralize these two divine abilities.

But in her current state, while it is easy to expand the Martial Dao Domain, it would be very difficult to re-condense it into a blade aura.

So she did not use her Martial Dao Domain, only activating her own divine ability.

Purple flames appeared out of thin air, burning away the surrounding tangled silk threads.

But because of this delay, 【Heavenly Mirror】 had completed its reflection within 0. seconds and shattered with a boom!

Thousands of fragments reflected the shattered golden ball of light and Qiu Zi'an within it.

The golden ball of light on Qiu Zi'an's body fluctuated violently, but it did not shatter.

This ball of light was generated by a top-tier Peace Talisman, which in theory could block several full-force strikes from a Grandmaster at the peak of the Establishing the Dao Realm!

If it were a Grandmaster of the Flourishing Realm, it could block them for a period of time.

Now, facing the divine ability attack of a Martial Master, it could naturally block it for longer.

But this golden ball of light generated by the Peace Talisman could not exist forever; even if there were no attacks, this ball of light would automatically disappear after thirty minutes.

Qi Zhou actually did not care how much longer the Peace Talisman on Qiu Zi'an could last; he only knew that in Qiu Zi'an's current state, maintaining her Martial Dao Domain as a blade aura, condensed but not released, definitely could not last long!

Anyway, as long as he dragged it out until Qiu Zi'an could no longer maintain her Martial Dao Domain at all, he could easily win.

The purple flames spread along those silk threads, and soon burned many of the silk threads to ashes.

Qi Zhou decisively cut off his control over 【Thread Pulling】, not letting Qiu Zi'an follow the vine to find the melon and lock onto his position.

After those purple flames burned all the silk threads, they suddenly exploded in all directions, forming a rain of fire.

This rain of fire happened to collide with the reappearing 【Heavenly Mirror】, actually igniting this circular mirror as well, quickly burning it into a translucent amber shape, and finally dissipating it completely!

One must know that the mirror surface formed by 【Heavenly Mirror】 is located in a space interlayer; ordinary attacks hitting it would only pass straight through, unable to cause the slightest damage.

As a result, the purple flames unleashed by Qiu Zi'an could actually burn even the space interlayer!

Qi Zhou had long anticipated this and had pulled back in advance to retreat, dodging the rain of fire that Qiu Zi'an erupted.

The purple flames Qiu Zi'an unleashed were not a single fire-attribute divine ability; she had a total of five divine abilities, using one fire-attribute divine ability as the core, with the other four divine abilities assisting, strengthening, and pairing together to cultivate these purple flames.

These purple flames could not only ignite others' internal energy, blood Qi, and spiritual power, but could also ignite the space interlayer, and even divine ability power could be ignited!

When Qiu Zi'an was still a Martial Master, she had once used these purple flames to ignite an opponent who possessed the 【Indestructible】 divine ability, and then it only took a few minutes to exhaust their divine ability power, eventually burning them to ashes!

Just now in the 【God-Sending Thousand Shadow Domain】, Qiu Zi'an had actively retracted her Martial Dao Domain, so these purple flames could not be used to help Li Fei.

Now that she had completed the condensation of her Martial Dao Domain, making Qi Zhou not dare to release the 【God-Sending Thousand Shadow Domain】 again, her purple flames could then form a deterrent against Qi Zhou.

Seeing that the erupting rain of fire failed to find Qi Zhou, Qiu Zi'an's mind stirred, and the ten thousand scattered sparks suddenly began to rotate at high speed with her as the center.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—

The sky full of purple sparks formed a huge vortex with a diameter of over a thousand meters in the air!

The flight speed of these purple sparks all exceeded ten times the speed of sound; they looked like tiny specks, but they could drive a large amount of surrounding airflow.

Soon, a huge tornado took shape, and the strong wind force uprooted the towering trees on the ground one by one, sweeping them into the air.

And whether it was trees, broken soil, or rocks, as long as they touched even a tiny spark, they would be instantly burned to ashes.

Qiu Zi'an used all five divine abilities on these purple flames; what was enhanced was not just the power, but also the control.

Gathering and dispersing at will, controlling with subtlety!

The tornado affected a range of a thousand meters, and the countless sparks in the wind were still absorbing the heaven and earth origin energy, so the heaven and earth origin energy within a range of more than two thousand meters became chaotic as a result!

Qi Zhou did not expect Qiu Zi'an to have this trick; the chaos of heaven and earth origin energy would also affect the effect of 【Shadow Concealment】, so he decisively used 【Thread Pulling】.

To the southwest of Qiu Zi'an, a thousand meters away, countless transparent silk threads appeared out of thin air, forming a huge net.

Once this net was formed, the surrounding strong winds and chaotic heaven and earth origin energy calmed down as a result.

Qiu Zi'an looked over here at the first moment, confirming that Qi Zhou must be within the range covered by this net!

While controlling the purple flames to ignite those silk threads, she flew rapidly toward that side.

The net Qi Zhou formed was also rapidly spreading to one side, but it was ultimately not as fast as the burning speed of the purple flames; when Qiu Zi'an rushed to this side, all the silk threads had been burned away.

Countless sparks flew in the direction the silk threads were spreading.

The strong wind whistled again, and the heaven and earth origin energy also fluctuated as a result.

"Found you!"

When a spark abruptly disappeared, Qiu Zi'an immediately sensed it and turned her head to look at that spot.

She controlled the purple flames with subtlety; those countless scattered sparks were equivalent to her eyes!

When she rushed toward the place where the spark disappeared, a mass of dark red light suddenly bloomed from that spot.

【God-Sending Thousand Shadow Domain】 reappeared!

It was just that this time, the range covered by the Martial Dao Domain was only a few dozen meters.

The larger the range covered by the Martial Dao Domain, the more heaven and earth origin energy it could influence.

And the smaller the range, the higher the 'solidity' of the Martial Dao Domain would be.

Qi Zhou only expanded a few dozen meters of the 【God-Sending Thousand Shadow Domain】; this was the limit he could compress, clearly intending to hard-carry this strike from Qiu Zi'an.

But Qiu Zi'an did not immediately unleash the blade aura she had already condensed toward the front, but suddenly turned around and flew toward another direction, while simultaneously unleashing the blade aura without hesitation!

The blade aura burning with purple flames appeared, and the heaven and earth origin energy within a thousand-meter range was driven by it, surging toward this side like a tide.

On the path of the blade aura's strike, several hundred meters away, a figure suddenly appeared; it was actually Qi Zhou!

It turned out that he had separated from his clone just now, and then deliberately controlled the clone to fly in one direction, while also using 【Thread Pulling】 to quickly form a net in that direction, creating the illusion that he was breaking through in that direction.

After Qiu Zi'an flew over, he again deliberately controlled the clone to actively collide with a spark, exposing the clone's position.

The final and most critical step was that he used the clone to unleash the 【God-Sending Thousand Shadow Domain】!

The clone had his mind and his three divine ability powers, and could also form a Martial Dao Domain, but the power would be smaller, and since the clone used the Martial Dao Domain, Qi Zhou himself could not use it.

So this technique was actually relatively useless.

Qi Zhou used it at this time just to trick Qiu Zi'an into using her final desperate strike.

But he did not expect to be seen through by Qiu Zi'an!

When Qi Zhou and the clone separated, Qiu Zi'an had already roughly locked onto two areas through the changes in heaven and earth origin energy.

Once the clone actively exposed itself and released the 【God-Sending Thousand Shadow Domain】, she understood Qi Zhou's tactic.

If the one in front of her was the main body, it would be impossible to separate from the clone, so it was definitely a decoy thrown out by Qi Zhou.

So she immediately controlled a large number of sparks to fly toward the other area she had locked onto, thereby confirming Qi Zhou's position, and then unleashed her desperate strike without hesitation!

All of this seemed complex, but in reality, the psychological game between the two sides happened in the blink of an eye.

Qi Zhou decisively dispelled the 【God-Sending Thousand Shadow Domain】 unleashed by the clone, while simultaneously controlling the clone to use a secret technique, burning itself and erupting regardless of the cost!

Five 【Heavenly Mirror】s blocked in front of Qi Zhou.

In the mirror surface, the crescent-shaped blade aura burning with purple flames arrived in an instant.

The first 【Heavenly Mirror】 had not yet had time to actively shatter before it was slashed open by the purple blade aura.

The second 【Heavenly Mirror】 actively shattered 0. seconds before the blade aura touched the mirror surface, causing a bit of weakening to the purple blade aura with space power.

Then came the third, the fourth...

When all five 【Heavenly Mirror】s were shattered, Qi Zhou finally expanded the 【God-Sending Thousand Shadow Domain】 in time.

The purple blade aura struck the dark red Martial Dao Domain, slashing straight into it like a hot knife through butter!

The 【God-Sending Thousand Shadow Domain】 was like shattered porcelain, breaking into pieces in the air, revealing Qi Zhou inside.

Boom—

Only until this moment did the sound of thunder resound in the air, followed by the sound of heaven and earth origin energy surging like a monstrous wave.

With just one strike, Qiu Zi'an made Qi Zhou face life and death!

Seeing that the blade aura was about to strike Qi Zhou's body, a bolt of lightning suddenly appeared, shooting out from Qi Zhou's chest and colliding with the blade aura Qiu Zi'an had unleashed.

BOOM!!!

The lightning was also shattered by the purple blade aura, but the momentum of this strike was also almost exhausted, and Qi Zhou took the opportunity to dodge to the side, avoiding this strike.

This thunderbolt was triggered by a one-time magic treasure refined for him by Qiming, with power sufficient to rival the full-force strike of a Grandmaster at the Peak Realm!

As one of the founders of the New Heaven Society, he naturally also had trump cards to save his life.

"Pfft—"

In the distance, Zhang Yuqing spat out a mouthful of blood, bleeding from her seven orifices, and was completely powerless to fight again.

But she still stared fixedly at Qi Zhou, hope remaining in her eyes.

"If Qi Zhou is a member of the New Heaven Society, he must have trump cards for survival that we don't know about. Even if my final blade can shatter his Martial Dao Domain, I might not be able to kill him."

"As long as Principal Zhang can shatter his Martial Dao Domain and force out his trump card, I have the confidence to kill him!"

This was the conversation between Li Fei and Zhang Yuqing before she withdrew her Martial Dao Domain.

Before Li Fei rushed out of the 【Spirit-Parasite Thousand Shadow Domain】, he said one last thing to her:

"The plan remains unchanged. Principal Zhang, find an opportunity to force out his trump card, and leave the rest to me!"

Now, Zhang Yuqing had successfully shattered the 【Spirit-Parasite Thousand Shadow Domain】 and forced out Qi Zhou's trump card; she could only trust that Li Fei would not disappoint.

A figure suddenly appeared in front of Qi Zhou—it was Li Fei!

"How is this possible?!"

Qi Zhou suddenly widened his eyes.

Previously, while chasing Zhang Yuqing, he had been keeping an eye on his rear and had not seen anyone flying in the air.

And if Li Fei had been traveling on the ground using 【No-Distance】 all along, the distance covered in these few minutes would have been enough to exhaust his supernatural power.

So he did not understand how Li Fei had caught up.

In fact, Li Fei had been using Sword Stance: Shadowless and Formless the entire way.

Although this move was not as good as 【Shadow-Covering】, it was still enough to deceive Qi Zhou from a distance.

After all, Qi Zhou did not possess perception-type supernatural abilities.

If they were inside the Martial Dao Domain, Li Fei's move would naturally have been unable to escape Qi Zhou's perception.

But at this moment, Qi Zhou's Martial Dao Domain had already been shattered by Zhang Yuqing.

Li Fei held the Ghost-Slaying Blade high with both hands, his eyes cold and sharp:

"Die—"

The blade descended, and the transcendent power erupted!

Qi Zhou had no time to re-condense his Martial Dao Domain and could only explode his strength with all his might, forming layers of water curtains in front of him.

The surrounding Heaven and Earth spiritual energy also surged madly into the water curtains; Li Fei felt as if a vast ocean had suddenly appeared between him and Qi Zhou, his ears filled with the sound of crashing waves.

Dao Strength—【Surging Wave Curtain】!

Facing the 'ocean' before him, Li Fei did not hesitate in the slightest. The Ghost-Slaying Blade, carrying an explosive force of over twenty thousand tons, slashed down.

Swish—

The ocean was sliced open from the middle.

One blade to sever the sea!

The blade edge broke through layers of water curtains and fell toward Qi Zhou's head.

"Don't even think about it!"

Qi Zhou's expression was ferocious; dense threads appeared on the Ghost-Slaying Blade, frantically pulling at the blade edge.

At the same time, a powerful force of consciousness forcibly intruded into Li Fei's heart lake.

【Spirit-Parasite】 activated!

Without the reinforcement of the Martial Dao Domain, 【Spirit-Parasite】 could not seize control, but it could consume the target's consciousness while simultaneously affecting their mind.

Previously, because Qi Zhou was wary of Li Fei's 'Great Dao Body', he had never used 【Spirit-Parasite】 on Li Fei.

But now, at this life-or-death moment, he could no longer care about that and had to stake everything on one throw.

Qi Zhou appeared in Li Fei's heart lake, over a thousand meters tall, his entire body shimmering with golden light, like a deity!

With just one step, he caused Li Fei's heart lake to splash with giant waves, churning endlessly.

This was a struggle at the level of consciousness.

The Ten Thousand Blood Bead could deflect direct consciousness attacks, but it could not immunize against control at the level of consciousness.

It just so happened that Qi Zhou was not using 【Spirit-Parasite】 to attack Li Fei, but to influence Li Fei's consciousness, thereby affecting his body.

In the heart lake, a sea of blood like a galaxy hanging in the nine heavens suddenly descended from the firmament, striking Qi Zhou and dragging him into it!

After Qi Zhou launched 【Spirit-Parasite】 at him, Li Fei also fully activated 【Blood-Might God】.

Now, the upper limit of 【Blood-Might】 had become 484 blood souls; its power doubled in 'Blood Demon Stance', and by fusing with the power of consciousness to form the unity of magic and martial arts, its power increased once again.

Yet Li Fei still felt it was not enough. He activated the 【Refining Matter】 supernatural ability, instantly refining another 200 blood souls into the power of consciousness, merging them into this strike of 【Blood-Might God】!

Boom—

In the heart lake, Qi Zhou's massive body shattered with a roar!

"Heh, so this is the end."

Before Qi Zhou's consciousness dissipated, he left one last sentence in Li Fei's heart lake.

In a trance, he seemed to see that snow from many years ago again:

The seventeenth year of Jiawen. Yushan City. Loyal to the monarch and patriotic, the Qi family colludes with the enemy.

Everything could never go back.

The clash at the level of consciousness lasted only an instant.

In the air, the Ghost-Slaying Blade continued to slash downward, and the threads binding the blade snapped one by one.

The blade edge finally swept across Qi Zhou's body from top to bottom.

A white air shockwave flew out from the direction of Li Fei's strike, spreading for over a thousand meters, cutting through the sea of clouds above as if slicing the firmament apart!

BOOM!!!!

A massive thunderous explosion finally rang out in the air, shaking the wilderness.

This blade, a violent strike across the sky!

This blade, a powerful slash against a Grandmaster!

Three thousand meters away, Qiming suddenly stopped flying, widening his eyes as he looked into the distance.

His techniques gave him ultra-long-range vision, so he clearly saw this scene in the distance:

Qi Zhou's body split from the middle, cleaved vertically into two halves.

The immense force blasted the two halves of the body to either side, blood splattering everywhere, revealing Li Fei behind them.

"No!!!"

Qiming's angry voice rolled toward the distance like thunder.

Even when his most critical plan was ruined by Li Fei in Lanling City, he had never been as angry or lost his composure as he was at this moment!

Qi Zhou was the best and only true friend he had in this life.

"I want you to die—"

Qiming rushed toward Li Fei in a rage!

The terrifying aura of a peak powerhouse, even from several thousand meters away, still made Li Fei feel an overwhelming and terrifying pressure!

With the number of blood souls he had left, even if he exhausted them all, the Ten Thousand Blood Bead could not be upgraded, and he could not replicate that scene from Lanling City.

Li Fei could only fully activate 【No-Distance】 to teleport continuously in the opposite direction, getting as far away from Qiming as possible.

He hid in the jungle; it was difficult for Qi Zhou to find him, but that did not mean Qiming could not find him.

He dared not gamble, so after landing and hiding in the jungle, he continued to activate 【Heaven-Mixing Golden Palace】 to absorb Heaven and Earth spiritual energy, replenishing his losses, and then frantically activated 【No-Distance】.

But supernatural power was also composed of a martial artist's 'essence, Qi, and spirit'; 【Heaven-Mixing Golden Palace】 could only replenish innate Qi, not blood-Qi and consciousness.

So if Li Fei used 【No-Distance】 hundreds of times in a row, his consciousness would be exhausted, and his supernatural power would be gone.

However, with the 【Refining Matter】 supernatural ability, he could solve this problem:

Activate the 【Refining Matter】 supernatural ability, consume blood souls, and convert them into the power of consciousness!

The composition of supernatural power was 60% innate Qi, 20% blood-Qi, and 20% consciousness.

Li Fei had 【Heaven-Mixing Golden Palace】 to continuously replenish innate Qi, and the 【Refining Matter】 supernatural ability to continuously replenish the power of consciousness.

As for blood-Qi, the blood-Qi brought by Li Fei's massive vitality was incomparably robust, so he did not need to worry about depletion for the time being.

Of course, constantly using supernatural abilities would also cause wear and tear on the implants themselves.

But Li Fei could also use the principle of 'equivalent exchange' of the 【Refining Matter】 supernatural ability to consume his own vitality to compensate for the wear and tear of the implants.

So as long as his blood souls were not used up, he could keep using supernatural abilities!

In the blink of an eye, Qiming crossed a distance of a thousand meters, leaving a trail of sonic boom clouds in the air.

And Li Fei had continuously activated 【No-Distance】 more than a dozen times, flickering constantly in the jungle.

But he soon discovered a despairing fact:

His movement speed while fully activating 【No-Distance】 was still not as fast as Qiming's flight speed.

One 【No-Distance】 could only teleport one hundred meters; Li Fei could use 【No-Distance】 at most ten times in one second, which meant teleporting 1000 meters.

And Qiming's flight speed in the air exceeded three times the speed of sound, crossing over 1000 meters in a second!

If Li Fei possessed the realm of a Grandmaster, the teleportation distance of 【No-Distance】 would be longer, and only then would he have a chance to shake off Qiming.

But now he could only be caught up little by little.

The terrifying pressure coming from behind was getting closer and closer; for the first time, Li Fei felt the threat of death!

Just as Li Fei was about to enter Qiming's casting range, a brilliant azure star suddenly flew out from Li Fei's body.

This star was exactly the same as the one inside Bai Yan's body, and it was also the power of Dao rules left behind by Yunshu.

The azure star flew toward the Morning Star!
