I am a high-level martial arts master.

The southern sky churned and turned as black as ink!

Emperor Qing was cut in two by that Heavenly Sword.

The space that had been contained within that small area suddenly burst open, and chaos filled the surroundings.

The positions of all the Grandmasters were changed, causing chaos in all directions and instantly reversing the battlefield.

Yun Huanzi, Shen Qinglian, and the others were extremely anxious at this moment, eager to find the location of Ye Li and the other disciples, but how could they possibly find them in time?

Within the chaotic storm, an immense space the size of the Southern Realm surged forth, a distance far beyond what a Grandmaster could perceive. "Damn scoundrels! Don't let me find out who you are! The Heavenly Illusion Immortal Sect will never forgive you!"

Yun Huanzi roared, searching frantically through the chaos for Ye Li's location, but found no coordinates and searched extremely far. For a moment, Yun Huanzi was as anxious as a headless fly, running around aimlessly.

Thinking of his weak, pitiful, and helpless disciple, who might have already been found by the Grandmaster.

With Ye Li's cultivation at the Innate level, how could he possibly withstand the might of a Grandmaster?

In the midst of the chaos, Yun Huanzi failed to find Ye Li and instead encountered Shen Qinglian.

He asked urgently, "Junior sister, have you found any trace of the disciples?"

Shen Qinglian's face was deathly pale; the frequent use of spells had taken a heavy toll on her health.

But before she could speak, Shen Qinglian's expression changed slightly, while Yun Huanzi looked south with a hint of fear.

boom!!!

In the distant sky, a terrifying aura that even grandmasters trembled with fear suddenly erupted.

Followed by.

A dazzling flash of light, indescribable in its brilliance, appeared!

It shines from the depths of chaos, ignoring space and time.

With an intent to kill, it swept across the entire southern sky!

*Sizzle!*

The entire southern sky was like an endless curtain that had been forcibly cleaved in two!

A massive, unimaginable crack suddenly appeared in the sight of all the grandmasters!

Chaotic and unpredictable energy turbulence surged along the edge of the crack, its length seemingly capable of splitting the entire Southern Territory in two!

Wherever the blade flashes, nothing escapes its cut! Nothing is spared!

Below the level of a Martial Saint! A strike will surely hit! A hit will surely kill!

In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen grandmasters perished under this blade.

That enormous celestial rift stretching across the sky silently speaks of a profound and unspeakable terror!

The raging chaotic energy from beyond the heavens instinctively wanted to surge into the universe through the torn crack.

However, before the chaotic energy could seep in, the annihilation concept remaining on the blade mark silently extinguished the spreading chaotic energy.

After a few breaths, the sword intent that chilled even the grandmasters to the bone finally began to slowly dissipate.

The universe's own powerful regenerative laws had only just begun to writhe, attempting to heal the shocking wound, but the process was exceptionally slow. "Disciple!!!"

The moment the knife mark appeared, Yun Huanzi, who was frantically searching in the chaos, suddenly trembled violently!

The color drained from his aged face in an instant, leaving only boundless grief!

He could vaguely sense that within that astonishing sword intent, there was a trace of Ye Li's aura!

That aura carried a resolute determination to burn everything and give everything!

What exactly does a person with innate talent have to sacrifice to be able to wield such a blade?

The familiar scenario is playing out once again.

Yun Huanzi clearly remembered that Shen Qinglian's Dao foundation was also inexplicably damaged after she went down the mountain.

"No! Impossible! My disciple!!!"

Yun Huanzi let out a heart-wrenching roar, filled with endless grief and despair. The sound waves rolled and shook the surrounding chaotic currents, causing them to pause! His eyes were bloodshot and his aura was like that of a volcano.

The raging pressure of a Grandmaster swept out uncontrollably, making the surrounding chaotic void even more violent!

It's happening again! It's happening again!!

The sect has finally produced another extraordinary talent.

A peerless genius bearing the legendary golden attribute!

Surprisingly... they were forced to resort to the old path again under such despicable attacks.

Even worse!

My junior sister was unharmed back then, except for damage to her Dao foundation.

But Ye Li's strike... even if he survives, he will definitely become a cripple with all his meridians severed.

In his extreme rage, Yun Huanzi felt his vision go black, and the next moment he sped off in the direction the blade had gone.

The other grandmasters were also filled with surprise and lingering fear.

That slash was terrifying.

If they're unlucky enough to run into it first, they'll still die!

It's safe to say this is a golden attribute; a mere Innate Realm cultivator, burning their very essence, actually managed to unleash the might of a Martial Saint, transcending two major realms! However, the Universe Realm has lost another genius…

Even the grandmasters who had ulterior motives were now filled with gloom.

They wanted Ye Li to complete the entry, but now everything was destroyed, which didn't meet their expectations. They had wasted so much effort, and it was all for naught. All the grandmasters knew the price Ye Li paid for burning the entry.

To become a Martial Saint, one must establish a connection with the relevant entries.

Even if Ye Li survives, and even if his talent remains intact, he will at most be limited to the Grandmaster realm...

Because if any part of the entry is missing, it cannot be combined with the body to become a martial saint.

Moreover, judging from that strike, its power was so astonishing that even a legendary entry would have paid a price far greater than that.

Ye Li's face was deathly pale, feeling the extreme weakness of his body, like a candle flickering in the wind.

This strike cut off half of his lifespan.

From now on, my lifespan will be permanently reduced by half.

Originally destined to live 300 years, now, with one cut, he can only live 150 years.

The remaining 150 years include Ye Li's past 19 years of life, so to be precise, he only has less than 131 years left to live. And this is a permanent reduction of half of his lifespan!

The more Ye Li's cultivation level increases, the more lifespan he loses! He will permanently follow him.

For example, when Ye Li broke through to the Grandmaster level, his lifespan, which was originally nearly ten thousand years, would be reduced to only 5000 years because of this innate strike.

"But it doesn't matter."

Ye Li struggled to hold on, his weak face filled with pleasure.

The fact that this strike not only didn't kill them, but also took down more than a dozen grandmasters is already the biggest surprise.

It's just half of the lifespan limit.

As long as Ye Li can break through to the Martial Saint realm, he can obtain an eternal lifespan and will not be afraid of such a mere loss.

Behind them, Shen Fuyao and the others stared at the torn sky in the distance, their minds almost going blank.

They stared in shock, almost speechless, at the figure kneeling on one knee before them.

Innate level can defeat a Grandmaster!

Moreover, it was at the early stage of the Innate Realm, reversing the Grandmaster Realm to perfection. Even in ancient myths, such a terrifying thing has never happened.

Shen Fuyao stared at Ye Li's back, subconsciously covering her mouth as the words he had spoken not long ago came to mind.

"I haven't even made a move yet, what are you all panicking about?"

Right now, Ye Li has successfully kept his word.

But Shen Fuyao knew exactly what price she had paid to unleash this power.

Her master's foundation was damaged, so how could she not understand the price he paid?

The price paid for unleashing this sword strike, including burning one's foundation, was far too heavy, even more desperate than death.

In order to understand Shen Qinglian's damaged Dao foundation, Shen Fuyao once read through countless classic texts within the sect.

Among the related records are countless promising grandmasters who, after burning their Dao foundation, could not accept reality, fell into madness, or even committed suicide. Death is only a matter of a moment.

But cutting off the foundation of one's path is like a high-ranking emperor being reduced to a beggar.

Only those who have possessed something know the pain of losing it.

Even if Ye Li survives, he will feel his talent and abilities are now so inferior, a world apart from what he had before. He will watch his cultivation stagnate due to his lack of talent and gradually approach the end of his life...

This is a thousand times, ten thousand times more terrifying than death!!

Just as Fuyao was shaken, a giant hand reached out from the sky.

"Damn it! Damn it!!!"

Emperor Qing was furious.

Seeing Ye Li wield the "Cause and Effect Blade", his anger almost ignited the entire world.

Unexpectedly, while he was entangled with those grandmasters in the heavens, Ye Li actually injured himself!

If Ye Li had been captured or even killed, he wouldn't have panicked like this.

But Ye Li was so reckless as to destroy the entry himself!

The entry is a miracle!

Even a martial saint cannot create a most ordinary white entry out of thin air.

However, even if Ye Li's entries remain after this strike, their value will be greatly diminished.

"Damn brat!"

Emperor Qing roared in fury, his voice filled with intense anger for the first time:

"I will skin you alive and tear you apart, and spend the rest of my life imprisoned in purgatory to be tortured!!!"

Extreme anger resounded throughout the southern sky.

In Emperor Qing's eyes, Ye Li had no control over his own body; this life belonged to his Great Qing!

They even sacrificed a divine book for the golden attribute of Ye Li.

After seeing the entry for Ye Li's self-destruction.

The massive Earth Hand and the Heaven-Slaying Sword then tacitly dispersed, no longer clashing with Emperor Qing.

Clearly, Ye Li, who had shattered his own foundation, was now worthless in their eyes, a useless cripple.

But Emperor Qing didn't care. The imperial dragon energy condensed again, and a huge black hand once again grabbed from the sky.

This time, however, the target is no longer Ye Li.

Instead, it was Shen Fuyao behind Ye Li!

The forceful use of the Imperial Dragon Qi this time will require decades of recuperation to recover, and the price paid was too high; some interest must be recouped. Even though Ye Li is dead, the existence of Shen Fuyao as an epic character makes the trip worthwhile.

As for Ye Li?

Just as he said, anyone who dares to damage the foundation of their Great Qing will be suppressed in purgatory and suffer extreme torment for the rest of their life! Boom!

The next instant, the entire world suddenly went dark.

Faced with Shen Fuyao's deathly pale expression, he felt as if the entire world had locked him in, leaving him helplessly standing there.

In the midst of utter chaos, a soft shout reverberated through the void:

"Hahahaha! You stinky lucky bastard!"

"I'm still alive, what the hell are you looking at?!"

His words were crude, his voice arrogant, and he carried a carefree attitude of wantonness.

Then, right before Shen Fuyao's eyes, the sword light that she thought had been extinguished once again pierced through the dark and hopeless world before her!

"Take another stab from me!!!"
