With visibility worsening, the sounds of gunfire and artillery gradually ceased, and almost everyone had fallen into hand-to-hand combat!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fei flew into the air using Wind-Riding Art and looked around; the four Imperial Camp armies and three Grandmasters were engaging Mi Han and the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two sides were not fighting intensely; apart from a few people like Ban Yanyang, the rest were not really risking their lives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Great Arhat Jing Lian, who had previously fought Li Fei, did not participate in their battle but instead directly controlled his life-bound magic treasure and headed toward the distant peak battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fei soon found Shi Caiming and the others on the battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Caiming, leading six Martial Arts Masters and three True Persons, was engaging over a thousand Imperial Camp soldiers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Tao, a Martial Arts Master with Six Supernatural Powers, manifested a massive Bodhisattva dharma image to block the front, while the three True Persons stood behind him casting spells, continuously inflicting damage. Shi Caiming led the remaining Martial Arts Masters to provide cover on the flanks, focusing primarily on defense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Imperial Camp army did not have high morale to begin with; encountering such a tough nut to crack, they fought very passively, focusing on stalling, merely surrounding the ten people and continuously exhausting them with baleful energy rather than launching a strong assault.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that these ten were in no immediate danger, Li Fei did not go to support them, choosing instead to support Ban Yanyang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Deputy Pavilion Master of the Stop-War Pavilion was clearly loyal, possessed strong fighting spirit, and was fighting very hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Helping the other party eliminate their opponent would immediately gain a strong reinforcement for his own side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he went to help Mi Han or Yan Shangzhen, it would only add another \"slacker\" to the battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fighting against Ban Yanyang was the Pudu Temple Temple-Protecting Vajra Wu Yan, a Grandmaster of the Divine Derivation Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both of their Martial Dao Domains had been expanded and were currently forming a counter-clash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fei rode the wind to the space above the two, jumped down decisively, and expanded his [Primordial Sword Realm].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He did not have much blood soul left, but the power of [Blood Rage] remained; in the \"Blood Demon Ultimate State,\" he currently had 7,000 units of blood rage power and did not need to suffer any backlash from the power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The golden light sphere merged into the Martial Dao Domains of the two Divine Derivation Realm Grandmasters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After obtaining [Sword Sacrifice], even without consuming blood soul to strengthen the sword realm, the intensity of the [Primordial Sword Realm] was already comparable to the Martial Dao Domain of a Grandmaster who had just entered the Peak Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, with Li Fei joining, even if he did not strike, he could still exert a certain amount of pressure on Wu Yan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two Grandmasters were currently locked in a struggle, exchanging blows with fists and feet; the two figures collided like meteors, fighting with great momentum.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ban Yanyang was surrounded by lightning pythons, with blue-purple electric arcs exploding into ten thousand cracks in the void; every step he took caused ten-zhang lightning lotuses to bloom on the scorched earth. Thousands of strands of gang-lightning condensed into chain prisons, turning the entire battlefield into a boiling lightning hell!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Yan sat calmly in the center of the storm, eighty-four thousand Sanskrit characters forming a glazed Buddha bell; the lightning chains lashed against the surface of the golden bell, erupting with roars like a great temple bell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whenever the lightning touched the golden bell, gilded scriptures would transform into demon-subduing pestles and flow upstream, rebounding the raging lightning back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the surface, it looked like Ban Yanyang was more proactive, but after watching for a while, Li Fei saw the trick to it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Wu Yan possessed more than one defensive supernatural power, including the top-tier defensive power [Indestructible], a mental-type defensive power similar to [Eternal Stability], and a defensive power capable of reflecting damage!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Combining several supernatural powers, up to this point, Wu Yan was completely unharmed, while Ban Yanyang, who occupied the initiative, had actually sustained some injuries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ban Yanyang had the intention to avoid such an opponent, but Wu Yan's Martial Dao Domain possessed a powerful pulling force; the closer one got to Wu Yan, the stronger the pulling force became, and the toughness of the Martial Dao Domain was far beyond that of others in the same realm, making it difficult to break.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the effect derived from Wu Yan's supernatural power—[Buddha's Grace].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as he wanted to entangle an opponent, few could escape!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fei glanced at the golden Sanskrit characters attached to the edges of the surrounding Martial Dao Domain, lost in thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was easy for him to enter, but now if he wanted to pull away and leave, he had to break Wu Yan's Martial Dao Domain first; otherwise, he would be locked in this space, and even using [No Distance] would not allow him to leave directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fei could not help but chuckle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One Jing Lian, one Wu Yan—both were top-tier \"grinders.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their killing power might not be high, but if they were determined to block someone, even if you could kill the opponent, you would not have much strength left to do anything else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hum—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like the opening of a Heavenly Gate, a vast amount of heaven and earth spiritual energy was being continuously absorbed by Li Fei within this space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He did not rush to help Ban Yanyang, but first activated the [Primordial Golden Palace].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The counter-clash of the two Grandmasters' Martial Dao Domains was not only weakening each other's supernatural powers but also competing for control of the heaven and earth spiritual energy within the area, thereby gradually occupying the \"advantage of time and place.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fei's [Primordial Golden Palace] could absorb all types of heaven and earth spiritual energy and could also convert them into all types of heaven and earth spiritual energy; in this regard, he was uniquely gifted, and he could be on \"home turf\" anywhere!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He used the [Primordial Golden Palace] to quickly absorb heaven and earth spiritual energy, then converted it all into lightning-attribute heaven and earth spiritual energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this way, Ban Yanyang fought much more easily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fighting against Wu Yan, he could be described as extremely stifled; the fiercer he fought, the more severely he was injured himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could only grind it out slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now with Li Fei's help, and the added suppression of the [Primordial Sword Realm], Wu Yan's damage-reflection supernatural power was further weakened, allowing Ban Yanyang to fight more easily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, both supernatural powers and Martial Dao Domains had consumption costs; Li Fei was now continuously absorbing heaven and earth spiritual energy and converting it into lightning-attribute energy, so the heaven and earth spiritual energy Wu Yan could absorb became less and less, and sooner or later he would be \"at his wit's end.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Yan, surrounded by Sanskrit characters, turned to look at Li Fei; without any movement, a golden Buddha palm descended from the sky, like a small mountain, suppressing Li Fei!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Buddha palm carried the weight of Mount Sumeru; in the palm, the Eight Classes of Supernatural Beings chanted with heads held high, and five hundred Arhats formed a demon-subduing array, with vast Buddha light illuminating a Buddha kingdom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Buddha Kingdom in the Palm!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was both a Profound Realm Dao force and a supernatural power!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ground beneath Li Fei's feet cracked like a spiderweb; he vanished from the spot, teleporting a hundred meters away using [No Distance].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But just as he appeared, the Buddha palm followed closely, and it was even closer to the top of his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This supernatural power of Wu Yan had an automatic target-locking feature!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, Li Fei stopped dodging; the \"Heavenly Gate\" behind him sent a vast amount of heaven and earth spiritual energy into his body, which then condensed into mighty heaven and earth power on the blade's edge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He swung his blade upward; wherever the blade light passed, the Arhat golden bodies were annihilated inch by inch, and the Eight Classes of Supernatural Beings wailed!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the blade edge shattered the golden \"swastika\" seal in the center, the entire Buddha kingdom, like a broken glazed lamp, turned into a sky full of golden rain amidst an earth-shattering roar!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A flash of astonishment crossed Wu Yan's eyes; he had not expected Li Fei's explosive power to be so strong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew Li Fei had the [Dragon-Elephant] supernatural power, but he clearly did not sense the blessing of Dragon-Elephant power on Li Fei!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be this ridiculously strong relying only on his own power?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking advantage of Wu Yan's distraction, Ban Yanyang hammered a heavy fist onto the glazed Buddha bell; this time, he punched a large hole directly into the bell, and the cyan lightning struck Wu Yan's golden body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Pfft—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After one move, Ban Yanyang spat out a mouthful of blood, while Wu Yan remained completely unharmed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Li Fei could clearly feel that the number of golden Sanskrit characters around them had decreased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having watched from the side for a while, he had already roughly figured out the opponent's damage-reflection supernatural power, so he seized this opportunity and used [No Distance] to kill his way up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With little blood soul remaining, Li Fei had to fight more cautiously, especially when encountering someone like Wu Yan who possessed a damage-reflection supernatural power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, if he were not careful, he might end up killing himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fei appeared instantly behind Wu Yan and slashed at the glazed Buddha bell in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hum—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The trembling Sanskrit sound struck the heart directly; the moonlight of the [Eternal Stability] supernatural power shone on Li Fei, the cold moonlight rippling like water waves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gilded scriptures transformed into Vajra demon-subduing pestles, booming as they struck toward Li Fei!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swish—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The demon-subduing pestles hit empty space; Li Fei had already appeared in another position, slashing out with his blade again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment a new demon-subduing pestle appeared, Li Fei vanished again, repeating this process.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the blink of an eye, seven Li Feis appeared around the golden glazed Buddha bell!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom boom boom boom—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The continuous explosions merged into one; the golden Buddha bell, like shattered porcelain, exploded with a bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Buddha bell was Wu Yan's damage-reflection supernatural power; combined with the Martial Dao Domain and the power of several other supernatural powers, it appeared particularly thorny.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were many ways for damage-reflection supernatural powers to work: some reflected the power directly back, some had tracking and locking, and others were even more formidable—\"true damage reflection\"!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Yan's reflection turned the counter-attack power into demon-subduing pestles, adding a portion of his own power while also having a tracking and locking effect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If someone else hit it with ten parts of force, they might get twelve parts of force reflected back, with tracking, making it very difficult to avoid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was why Ban Yanyang had fought so exceptionally stifled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Li Fei saw it very clearly: although Wu Yan's reflection speed was fast, it was not faster than his [No Distance]; as long as he was fast enough, the reflection could not catch up to him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seven slashes in an instant, the glazed Buddha bell was completely shattered, and the seven demon-subduing pestles chasing Li Fei dissipated along with it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how powerful a supernatural power was, it had a limit; it was impossible to absorb damage infinitely and then reflect it infinitely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Yan's supernatural power had already been weakened by a layer from Ban Yanyang's Martial Dao Domain, and then further weakened by Li Fei's [Primordial Sword Realm].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Ban Yanyang and Li Fei striking one after another, they finally completely broke Wu Yan's damage-reflection supernatural power!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the supernatural power broken and unable to be used for a while, and lacking the damage-reflection power, the intensity of Wu Yan's Martial Dao Domain was further weakened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Amitabha.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Temple-Protecting Vajra did not show a nervous expression, still calmly putting his hands together, his whole body shrouded in golden light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The [Indestructible] supernatural power remained!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A great sun suddenly appeared behind Li Fei, with the shadows of a dragon and an elephant flickering within it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The 7,000 units of blood rage power doubled, equivalent to a terrifying explosive force of 56,000 tons condensed on the blade's edge!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heaven and earth spiritual energy surged like a tidal wave, and the scorching force spread to the surroundings; both lightning and Sanskrit characters were shrouded in a world of flames.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next instant, a blade mark appeared in the world, and the entire world collapsed along with it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Heaven and Earth Single Blade]!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, when Li Fei used [Dragon-Elephant], his base power was at most 3,000 units of blood rage power; now, in the \"Blood Demon Ultimate State,\" his base power reached as high as 7,000 units of blood rage power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under these circumstances, the [Dragon-Elephant] divine ability only needed an instant to complete a doubling of his power, which already granted Li Fei immense strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A single strike of [Heaven and Earth Single Blade] completely shattered Wuyan’s [Buddha’s Grace]!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ban Yanyang could not help but reveal a look of astonishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a Grandmaster of the Divine Derivation Realm, his combination of divine abilities was inherently offensive, yet the killing power Li Fei erupted with in this instant was actually stronger than his own!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he hadn't known that Li Fei had yet to break through his realm, he would have almost thought this was some Grandmaster of the Establishing Dao Realm making a move!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After breaking [Buddha’s Grace] with one strike, Li Fei immediately sent a sound transmission to Ban Yanyang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The [Primordial Sword Realm] had not consumed blood-soul to strengthen itself with [Sword Sacrifice], so after erupting with one strike, the sword realm was already on the verge of collapse and could not last more than a few seconds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, Wuyan still had the [Indestructible] divine ability on his person; killing him would be too time-consuming and laborious, and there was simply no need to waste energy here with the opponent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether or not to kill Wuyan was not the key at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, Li Fei did not intend to continue entangling himself with the opponent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Ban Yanyang immediately transformed into a bolt of thunder and crashed toward the edge barrier of the Martial Dao Domain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had wanted to leave for a long time!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without the force of entanglement, the sturdiness of the Martial Dao Domain was also significantly reduced; Ban Yanyang successfully broke through the barrier and charged out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fei also took the opportunity to leave using [No Distance].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two of them headed toward the peak battlefield in the distance by tacit agreement; that was where the key to deciding the outcome of this war lay!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, the azure giant formed by the baleful energy of the Sky Blue Cavalry’s military formation no longer had the blessing of the Son of Heaven’s dragon Qi, and it was once again at a disadvantage in its confrontation with the River-Suppressing Heavenly King.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side, Qin Mingli was being continuously suppressed by Wenren Zheng, and with his retreat blocked by seven strands of baleful energy, he could neither advance nor retreat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Defeating a powerhouse and killing a powerhouse were two completely different levels of difficulty; peak powerhouses were already hard to kill, and Qin Mingli, who possessed a True Dragon physique, was even harder to kill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if no one else intervened in today's battle, Wenren Zheng, leading seven thousand Imperial Guard troops, could truly kill Qin Mingli here, leaving him unable to even run away!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go help the Grand Marshal!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fei assessed the situation on the field and immediately said to Ban Yanyang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of the two peak battlefields, Wenren Zheng was in an absolute dominant position here;
