I am a high-level martial arts master.

Shen Luo finished speaking.

Three thousand three hundred and thirty-three illusory figures suddenly solidified behind him!

This is an energy entity woven from human emotions, each wielded by a faintly discernible male silhouette, their faces blurred yet exuding a domineering aura of control. "I humbly request your assistance! To subdue the demon!"

Shen Luo clasped his hands together, a hint of fanaticism flashing across his compassionate face.

Three thousand yellow-haired phantoms roared silently, each assuming a different posture, and surged towards Ye Li in an overwhelming manner.

"Damn, this is an eye-opener! The victim can actually team up with that blond guy."

Ye Li's eyes burned with ferocity. Faced with this torrent of figures capable of engulfing even those at the Innate Realm, his blood and qi erupted like a volcano! Boom—!

The remaining clothes on his body turned to ashes, revealing a muscular body as if cast from divine gold.

It was as if magma was flowing beneath his skin, and streaks of crimson gold appeared, causing his aura to rise once again!

"If numbers are useful, what's the point of cultivation?!" Ye Li sneered, advancing instead of retreating!

He stomped his feet on the earth, his body transforming into a crimson-gold meteor, crashing headlong into the vast ocean of thousands of figures.

boom!boom!boom!boom!boom!

The dense, explosive sounds, like a torrential downpour hitting banana leaves, resounded throughout the heavens and earth!

With a casual punch, the aftershock obliterated dozens of illusory figures that surged forward.

With a sweeping kick, his true energy descended like a ferocious beast, blasting countless phantoms into countless dazzling points of light.

He was like a tiger among sheep, unstoppable by anyone.

Wherever it passed, the crowd was plowed open, leaving a golden tunnel!

In just a few breaths, the illusory figures in front of him were killed by his fists, numbering three thousand.

But the remaining hundred or so people were the true foundation of the Pure Love Evil Sect.

bang

In the clash of their full strength, the illusory figure in front of them was sent flying backward.

But Ye Li realized that he naturally couldn't kill him with a single blow.

Because the remaining people were all phantoms of half-step Grandmaster or even Grandmaster level.

In their youth, these individuals were all dominant figures, ranking among the top ten on the list of prodigies. Now, with over a hundred of them working together, they are truly formidable. Moreover…

Swish!

Ye Li was about to smash the illusory figure in front of him with a punch.

Suddenly, space shifted, and Shen Luo appeared abruptly in front of him, exchanging a punch with him.

"Not only can it summon phantoms, but it can also swap positions with them to launch surprise attacks and block damage at crucial moments."

The grandmasters in the sky wore solemn expressions.

Such a battle was so terrifying that it could be said to be a battle that would be difficult to replicate in history.

The team consisted of over a hundred half-step Grandmasters and Grandmasters in their youth, their bodies working in perfect harmony, coupled with the Buddha's body capable of teleportation at will. Such a lineup was something even the Martial Saints who had escaped the Sea of ​​Suffering in the Universe could not match in their youth.

"In the end, it's the will of Heaven that can't be defied," a grandmaster remarked.

"The Buddha's disciple a hundred years ago also faced a calamity before breaking through to the Innate Realm and died tragically. The stronger one becomes, the more calamities one will encounter." "If Ye Li were to possess the Heavenly Book now, with his extraordinary talent, he would be able to soar freely in the sky and leap freely in the sea. Therefore, the obstacles he would face at this time would be even greater."

"Every step is difficult, every three steps bring disaster; life is full of trials and tribulations, and good things often come with hardship."

The masters shook their heads and sighed.

Strong individuals attract each other, and terms and phrases naturally become similar.

The stronger one's talent, the stronger one's luck, and the more likely one is to attract powerful people from the surrounding area, and the more capable people one will encounter!

This is due to both human greed and divine intervention.

This is also why the most talented individuals within a sect rarely use time-limited secret realms to compress their cultivation time.

The more time you skip, the greater the challenges you'll face next time.

If one cultivates peacefully within the sect during body tempering and reaches the Innate Realm without incident, then when one goes out into the outside world, who knows how many calamities and tribulations will accumulate.

If Shen Luo wins this battle, then it will be Shen Luo's turn to suffer.

As Fuyao listened to the surrounding stories while standing beside Shen Qinglian, a chill rose from the bottom of her heart.

Given her epic journey, which has been smooth sailing all the way, perhaps great calamities await her in the future.

Thinking this, she looked up at Shen Qinglian:

"My master also has a gold-level attribute, yet he has only reached the Grandmaster level so far. I wonder what kind of dangers he encountered in his youth."

Below, the battle continues and becomes increasingly dangerous.

The phantoms formed a grand formation, their true energy surging like waves. These phantoms wielded different techniques and moves, with countless special effects linked together, restricting Ye Li's movements. Ye Li's figure spun rapidly within the phantom battle formation, his crimson-gold blood energy raging like a dragon, and more than ten phantoms shattered wherever his fists passed.

But the remaining hundred phantoms suddenly contracted, their energy intertwining to form a net.

The next moment!

Shen Luo appeared out of thin air behind Ye Li!

He formed a mudra with his hands, and dark golden Buddhist light flowed from the edges of his palms as he struck Ye Li directly in the back of the heart!

The power of the Buddha's physical body from a thousand years ago was poured into this sneak attack!

boom!!!

The palm print was firmly imprinted on his back, causing blood to spill from Ye Li's mouth.

Because this body of a Buddhist disciple is adapted to the authentic Buddhist practices, it can exert even greater power.

Therefore, long before the war began, he had already thoroughly comprehended Buddhist teachings and practiced Buddhist martial arts. Now, he could easily wield various Buddhist scriptures. "Fellow Daoist Ye, you should give up."

Shen Luo said with a compassionate tone, "Your talent is unparalleled, and Heaven will not allow it to go unchecked. Therefore, Chi has chosen to stand on my side."

"If you were to take the Heavenly Book, the calamities we face in the future would be far greater than what we are facing now."

"Sometimes, being too talented is not a good thing; the stronger one's talent, the greater the pressure from heaven and earth."

"Ji Xun possesses a legendary entry, and in order to prevent him from becoming too powerful, Heaven has chosen to use you to counter and hinder him from obtaining the Heavenly Book."

"And you probably possess epic attributes, coupled with extraordinary talent, so it is fate that has sent me to hone you."

"My talent cannot compare with yours, so allowing me to obtain the Heavenly Book is an acceptable outcome for all parties."

Shen Luo tried to persuade and win people over, but his actions didn't falter in the slightest.

The illusion of owing favors is a one-time measure with a time limit.

This battle must kill Ye Li here; otherwise, if he escapes and the consequences of fighting again after a short respite are beyond his ability to bear. After this battle, his Buddha-son physical body will be completely annihilated, returning him to his level of being outside the top two hundred.

Before his physical body is annihilated, he will not only destroy Ye Li.

We must also kill all the prodigies!

Therefore, his heart was more resolute than ever before.

We must seize this opportune moment, with favorable timing, location, and popular support, and kill Ye Li right here!

"That's all."

Ye Li snorted coldly, raising his hand to deflect the countless beams of divine light that were sweeping towards him: "I see you've exhausted all your tricks and are at your wit's end." Shen Luo smiled slightly and said:

"Likewise, Fellow Daoist Ye has probably exhausted all his methods..."

Halfway through his speech, his expression changed slightly, as a familiar yet strange feeling emanated from Ye Li.

"This is·……

Shen Luo's expression shifted slightly, and he looked at Ye Li with a strange feeling, saying:

"Fellow Daoist, what are you doing?"

"Hehe! Can't you tell?" Ye Li said with a slight smile.

"I've used every trick in the book!"

As Ye Li spoke, Shen Luo watched in astonishment as Ye Li's body seemed to be an abyss, and an indescribable, terrifying suction force suddenly erupted.

"Buzz!!!"

In the initial silence, a buzzing sound suddenly arose.

Centered on Ye Li, the primordial energy of heaven and earth within a radius of a thousand miles went completely berserk!

Above Ye Li's head, a huge funnel-shaped vortex formed!

Crimson spiritual energy, scattered starlight, the essence of the earth's veins...

All the free energy was brutally torn apart and surged toward that standing figure!

"Are you kidding me?!"

"Has this guy gone mad?"

"Yun Huanzi, what is your disciple stirring up?"

High above, the grandmasters watched the scene below in disbelief, and even Yun Huanzi was astonished.

Because Ye Li broke through at the last minute!!!

Breaking through in battle? Are you kidding me?

Opening up the bone orifices requires calming the mind and nourishing the qi, let alone at this moment in the midst of an extremely fierce battle, Ye Li actually chose to break through in the heat of battle!

Where did this madman come from?

It was only at this point that everyone realized a horrifying truth.

Ye Li seems to be only at the Acquired Perfection Realm, yet he held his own against countless Condensation Realm cultivators in battle!

If Ye Li were to reach the same level, to what extent would his combat power expand?

But this was just everyone's expectation, because breaking through in battle was unprecedented.

But for Ye Li at this moment, what kind of bullshit rules are they?

[Amazing Wisdom] Break through this barrier!

Realm: Acquired Perfection (1/1) Ten

Gather Qi, transform it into Qi, and condense it into Qi!

This is the insurmountable barrier that must be overcome to reach the innate realm from the acquired realm of perfection.

Every step is incredibly difficult, and every improvement signifies a leap in strength.

Unfortunately, breaking through to the Innate Realm is extremely difficult; only the legendary geniuses, one in a billion, can achieve it in one step.

Therefore, ordinary people further break down the methods for overcoming innate limitations.

During this period, every step achieved blocked countless heroes and powerful figures, each step being roughly equivalent to a small realm difference in the Acquired Realm. But at this moment, as Ye Li pointed to the golden number ten.

"boom!!!"

It was as if a volcano that had been dormant for thousands of years had been detonated within Ye Li's body!

The Qi Gathering Realm involves compressing the vast internal energy from a gaseous state to a liquid state, causing a surge in both the total amount and purity of internal force. With every movement, the internal energy flows like a surging river. He ignored Shen Luo's astonished gaze and the hundred or so illusory figures of Grandmasters who were attacking again.

The liquid true energy that was originally surging like a river within Ye Li's body was forcibly compressed and condensed under the absolute control of [World-Shaking Wisdom]! *Pfft!*

Countless tiny bloody gashes instantly burst open on Ye Li's body, as if he could not withstand the immense pressure inside.

But his eyes were fierce and mad, and instead of stopping, he squeezed every inch of flesh and blood to its fullest extent!

The funnel-shaped vortex formed by the primordial energy of heaven and earth suddenly intensified!

The spiritual energy within a thousand miles was brutally drained, turning into a violent torrent that poured into Ye Li's body without regard for anything else. It became the fuel for him to forcibly compress his true energy. For every bit of true energy he compressed, ten or a hundred strands of spiritual energy would surge into it to fill the gap.

"Stop him!"

The pity on Shen Luo's face was instantly replaced by surprise.

He had never seen such a crazy act, actually breaking through the Qi Gathering barrier of the half-step innate realm under the watchful eyes of powerful enemies!

But at that moment he felt incredibly surprised.

Because if Ye Li's true energy were to surge and he were to make a single wrong move, he would explode and die.

Shen Luo: "Victory is assured in this battle!"
