All Heavens: Starting as a Sacrifice

What exactly is this friend of mine up to? Why can't he tell me? Is it so difficult for me to even help him out?

Li Yi sighed softly, offered no further explanation, and turned to leave.

"You..." Luo Feng was somewhat angry when he saw him leave without saying a word.

She jumped up and pointed at Li Yi, but didn't know what to say.

Back inside, he picked up his phone and dialed another number. It was none other than Ma Xiao, the person he had saved before.

Let's give it a try first. It would be great if we could borrow it, but it's okay if we can't.

However, to his surprise, he actually managed to borrow 80 million from the other party.

This is indeed surprising, after all, the other party is not like Jiang Nian or Zhuge Tao, who have been martial artists for many years and have accumulated enough wealth.

This 80 million might be his entire fortune.

Even if a martial artist is very good at making money, it would still take an ordinary new martial artist one or two years to earn 80 million.

Even if the other party is a genius from the Thunder Martial Arts School, getting 80 million is by no means an easy task.

Because martial artists earn money quickly, but spend it even faster.

"Thank you," Li Yi sent him a message.

There's no point in saying anything more; words can't compare to real actions.

To judge a person, don't look at what they say, look at what they do.

"It's nothing, you did save my life after all," Ma Xiao replied.

Li Yi logged into the Limitless House. Although he might not have enough money, he still had to buy the things he needed.

We should slow down the purchase of less important items and focus on buying more essential supplies.

For example, gene-enhancing drugs, high-energy foods, and some thermal weapons.

After doing all this, looking at the completely depleted funds in his account, he let out a long sigh.

He had done all he could, and if he still couldn't escape, he could only accept his fate.

For the rest of the day, Li Yi and Luo Feng remained silent, not exchanging a single word.

Li Yi knew in his heart that he had indeed done something wrong in this regard.

Only by coming back alive can I apologize to him.

The next day, Luo Feng boarded a train bound for the wilderness.

Li Yi received a notification on his phone that 400 million yuan in cash had been deposited into his bank account.

It was none other than the money Luo Feng had deposited.

A question flashed through his mind as he picked up his phone, but without thinking much, he dialed his friend's number.

"Where the hell did you get so much money?!" Li Yi exclaimed in surprise.

How could Luo Feng possibly have so much money? He and this other person had only recently become martial artists.

Even if he has a very fruitful trip, he will still spend a lot of money.

Being able to come up with tens of millions is already a lot, let alone four hundred million! Even if he robbed a bank, he couldn't get that much.

"I had some myself, and I borrowed some more from Instructor Jiang and Supervisor Zhuge," Luo Feng said quietly on the other end of the phone.

Upon hearing his words, Li Yi fell silent, unsure of what to say.

"Although I don't know what you're up to, you have to remember that you absolutely have to pay back the money you owe me. If you don't, I'm finished," Luo Feng warned.

Although he didn't know why his friend needed so much money, he did his best.

From the very beginning, he sensed that something was off about his friend, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

He did this so that Li Yi would remember, no matter what he faced or what situation he encountered, that he would definitely have to pay back the money he owed him.

Otherwise, Luo Feng had a vague feeling that his friend might never return.

"Don't worry, I will definitely pay you back the money I owe you," Li Yi said with a smile, his emotions still churning.

Luo Feng said he wouldn't lend him a single penny, but in the end he still transferred the money into his account.

They were not only willing to lend him money, but they would even borrow money from others and then lend it to him.

"I won't talk any longer, I'm heading into the wilderness right away," Luo Feng said, then hung up the phone.

Li Yi sat there stunned for a moment, then laughed.

I'm currently heavily in debt, and I really need to find a way to pay it off.

Money is easy to repay, but favors are hard to repay.

Because money can be quantified, but human relationships cannot.

With these hundreds of millions of yuan, his plans will proceed more smoothly from now on.

We drove to the HR Alliance Building in Yangzhou City.

HR Alliance is a business alliance, and many things can only be purchased through their channels.

Of course, this is relative to individual martial artists. At the national level, there is nothing that cannot be achieved if one wants to.

Some of the things Li Yi wanted to buy were things that even the Extreme Martial Arts Academy couldn't get their hands on, but he could obtain them through the HR Alliance.

Because those things are too obscure, most martial artists may not be able to use them.

Moreover, since the HR Alliance has already solved these niche issues, there is no need for the Extreme Martial Arts Academy to enter the field and spend a lot of effort to continue developing them.

Li Yi spent a lot of money to acquire some extremely rare resources, such as very rare poisons that cannot be used against martial artists.

For example, certain restricted firearms have to be brought in from other places by the HR Alliance.

It is also quite valuable, although its function is not very significant, but it is sold at a high price.

Li Yi hadn't considered these things before, but now that he had enough funds, he naturally wanted to acquire them.

He firmly believed that it was better to be prepared.

Two days later, he was fully prepared, and his storage space was packed to the brim.

He made the most of every inch of space, which contained a wide variety of weapons, including light and heavy weapons, firearms, and melee weapons.

Medical supplies and emergency food are properly stocked.

Most importantly, he obtained the gene serum.

This is a test tube emitting a pale blue hue. Drinking it will destroy any chance of future growth.

This grants a powerful boost to strength, allowing one to reach a new level of power in a short period of time.

Li Yi's current punching power is around 13,000 kilograms. If nothing unexpected happens, he should be able to successfully reach the level of intermediate warrior if he takes the gene serum.

Without much hesitation, he swallowed the pale blue potion in one gulp.

He felt a violent force surge through his limbs and bones, and the power of heaven and earth kept penetrating his body. He felt as if he had regained the feeling when he first practiced the guiding technique.

A violent power invaded his body, further strengthening his physique at a rate far exceeding his expectations.

It wasn't until a day and a night later that the effects subsided and his condition stabilized.

Chapter Twenty-Five: Return to the Heavenly Shroud

Li Yi stood in front of the punching power testing machine. The effects of the gene serum were gradually wearing off, and he could sense his own improvement.

Gene serums are like a pre-emptive payment for future talents, although the effect of this payment is not good, it is quick.

Similarly, the more talented a person is, the greater the boost they will receive after using gene serums.

Li Yi unleashed a full-force attack, and numbers immediately flashed on the testing equipment.

Punching power: 17036 kg.

The growth is enormous, directly reaching the threshold of intermediate-level warrior.

His speed also reached about 108 meters per second.

This level of strength and power is considered relatively weak among intermediate-level warriors.

No matter what, he is still much stronger than before, and he has also made great progress in the second level of the World Destroyer Spear Technique.

However, my mastery is still not perfect and I need more time to hone my skills.

After testing his strength, he boarded a train bound for the wilderness.

He wasn't sure if he would ever return after this trip.

But he still owes a lot of debts in this world, including not only money but also debts of gratitude.

He had to survive no matter what, he had to come back no matter what, and he still had a bunch of creditors waiting for him to pay back their money.

Upon arriving in the wilderness, he did not rush to hunt monsters.

He took out the Record of All Heavens and waited quietly.

The power within him was dwindling, and soon he felt a repulsive force silently pushing him out of this world.

The world before him reversed in the next moment, and he returned to the world of Shrouding the Heavens once more.

It is night here now, lonely and dark.

Li Yi, however, smelled an extremely strong stench of blood, which was not coming from anywhere else but was nearby.

The altar not far away emitted a faint blue light, extremely eerie and malevolent. Just one glance was enough for Li Yi to feel a powerful malice envelop him, and he felt a chill run through his body.

Before the altar lay the corpses of nearly a thousand people, including men, women, and children.

These people were slaughtered like pigs, with a gash cut open at the neck to drain all their blood.

At first, it may not be particularly painful, but as time goes on, you can feel the blood slowly flowing away, and eventually you can even feel your body slowly getting cold.

They were powerless to resist and could only watch helplessly as they walked toward their deaths.

It seemed even the moon in the sky couldn't bear to watch this scene, so it let the dark clouds obscure it.

The rituals continued, with over a hundred more people remaining besides the nearly one thousand who had already died.
