This Martial Saint's Health Bar is Too Thick!

He must lead the Daluo Sect to weather this difficult challenge!

Qing Xia, with her head lowered, was both crying and laughing as if she hadn't heard what Tai Yu said.

Tai Yu glanced at her, then turned his head to look beyond the mountains.

"Tai Yu, Master of the Sect, dare I ask what happened to the traitor Qing Xu?!"

The voice of Yun Shu thundered from afar.

Tai Yu took a deep breath, his whole demeanor becoming imposing.

He took a step forward and announced loudly,

"The traitor Qing Xu has been executed—"

...

On the highway outside Chong City, Li Fei slowly opened his eyes.

In the Dream Realm, he had witnessed the entire process of Qingxu True Monarch's breakthrough.

Although he did not enter the other person's subconscious, Li Fei still gained a great deal!

Recalling the crying he heard and the moving sensation as if he was witnessing a New Heaven, he felt that Qingxu True Monarch must have successfully broken through the Peak limit, stepping into a realm beyond!

But in the end, he saw that 'sun' fall with his own eyes.

In the Dream Realm, the dissipation of a person's subconscious signifies that person's death.

"Is it because he forced a breakthrough with an incomplete Tao Country, the foundation was unstable, so even though he broke through, he ultimately perished?"

Li Fei speculated.

This 'Observing Tao' had brought him immeasurable gains!

At this moment, trying to recall the enlightenments he had in the Dream Realm, he could not remember them at all.

It seemed like a dream, without a trace.

But he knew, some things had been deeply imprinted in his subconscious.

They would become treasures hidden within his subconscious, waiting to be called upon one day!

Li Fei carefully put away the Dream Command.

He found that the Emperor's Dragon Qi inside his body had completely dissipated without him noticing.

He wasn't sure if it had been expended or if Yun Shu had taken it back.

The Emperor's Dragon Qi had greatly depleted his lifeforce, but it also brought him a large amount of high-quality energy:

[Myriad Blood Pearl

Rank: 24 Level 86%

Blood Soul: 691 units

Blood Soul Skill: Blood Rage (Strong), Blood Slaughter (Strong), Blood Power (Strong), Blood Spring (Strong), Blood Breath

Transform Skill: Blood Demon (Strong)]

The Myriad Blood Pearl rose by 3 levels at once!

The total number of Blood Souls increased from 559 units to 691 units!

Furthermore, when the total number of Blood Souls exceeded 600 units, the Myriad Blood Pearl unlocked a new Blood Soul Skill—Blood Breath.

This was a passive Blood Soul Skill, only triggering when Li Fei's total number of Blood Souls fell below 30%.

Once [Blood Breath] is triggered, it would recover 5% of the total Blood Soul amount every minute!

Now, with a total of 691 Blood Souls, when [Blood Breath] is triggered, he could recover 34.55 Blood Souls per minute.

This recovery speed meant that he could maintain 'Blood Demon State' indefinitely and sustain [Blood Rage] at his own limits of endurance!

With this Blood Soul Skill, Li Fei's endurance in battle had instantly risen a notch.

"Becoming more and more like a BOSS," Li Fei muttered to himself.

With his current combat power, as long as he didn't challenge beyond his realm, there wouldn't be many opportunities to use [Blood Breath].

Besides the Myriad Blood Pearl, Li Fei had other gains.

He raised his palm, and a black flame sprung forth.

After slaying more than fifty Imperial Camp Cavalry, the [Flame Core] was not far from unleashing a Core Level extraordinary ability.

Li Fei, having 'Observed Tao' in the Dream Realm, and his spirit having been intensely stimulated, the Implant within him [Flame Core] had also successfully unlocked a Core Level Extraordinary Ability—Heart Fire!

Li Fei gently touched the black flame emerging from his palm.

In an instant, a strong sense of sorrow surged within him.

The scenes of Hao Yi's death and Shangguan Xiao's act of following in love reappeared in his mind.

Before Li Fei could emerge from the sorrow, the various misdeeds committed by the corrupt officials he had learned about in Xing City resurfaced in his mind, and a surge of anger followed!

Then there was the joy of breakthroughs, the tension of life-and-death crises...

In the blink of an eye, it was as if Li Fei relived his entire life, with all its joys, anger, sorrows, and pleasures flooding his heart!

Li Fei withdrew his finger, gaining an understanding of his newly acquired ability.

'Heart Fire' could make those affected recall all the unforgettable moments of their lives, their myriad emotions, exposing their vulnerabilities!

This was a rather rare extraordinary ability that targets the mental plane.

Every extraordinary ability that targets the mental realm is very precious, such as the 'Dragon Power' of 'Beast King's' first master, Zhang Shan.

'Dragon Power' is a pure mental deterrent, whereas Li Fei's 'Heart Fire' is much more complex and significantly more powerful!

Li Fei's spiritual power was already comparable to the Tao Foundation Stage Peak, and after the 'baptism' of the Emperor's Dragon Qi, his spiritual power became even purer and more concentrated.

Such spiritual power, once struck by his own 'Heart Fire,' would momentarily lose its defense.

It is even more difficult for martial artists below the Tao Foundation Stage Peak to resist 'Heart Fire'!

Li Fei's self-created 'Blood Power God' is a fusion of magic and martial arts, like a heavy hammer, charging headlong to directly breach the opponent's mental defense.

Now with 'Heart Fire,' Li Fei could use 'Blood Power God' to break down the opponent's guard and then enter with 'Heart Fire,' combining hardness with softness, a perfect combination!

"I wonder how powerful this combination of moves is?"

Li Fei suddenly felt eager to try.

His opportunity came soon enough.

...

October 25, at 8:47 AM.

The reinforcements dispatched from neighboring Yi Province by the court finally arrived at Chong City.

This troop was led by the Chief of the Zhi Ge Department from Yi Province, Pan Tianhao, and included over a hundred martial artists as well as more than four hundred Imperial Camp Cavalry!

However, many in this troop were injured, clearly having just experienced a major battle.

They were ambushed on their way by a True Master and two Martial Arts Masters from Daluo Sect!

After the collapse of the Qingxu True Monarch's Tao Country, that True Master chose to return to Daluo Sect, while the other two Martial Arts Masters fled elsewhere.

Pan Tianhao did not pursue with his men; instead, he continued on to Chong City as per orders received in advance.

Shortly after everyone arrived in Chong City, new orders from the court came through:

"By order of the State Preceptor, we are to set out immediately to intercept the fleeing rebels of Daluo Sect!"

Pan Tianhao conveyed Yun Shu's order to the crowd.

Li Fei and several Sitting Officials, including Lv Wenxing, were also present.

"Lord Pan, there are many rebels who have fled from Daluo Sect; where do we go, and who exactly are we to intercept?"

Lv Wenxing asked.

Having defended Chong City, their merit was as good as secured; even if they couldn't compare to Li Fei, they were sure to be rewarded upon their return.

Under such circumstances, Lv Wenxing and the others were extremely reluctant to take on another mission.

Unfortunately, they did not have a say in the matter.

Pan Tianhao glanced at Li Fei before speaking:

"The State Preceptor has ordered us to head to several different locations to intercept the fleeing rebels from Daluo Sect; as for who exactly we are to intercept, that is unclear."

"This..."

Lv Wenxing and his companions exchanged looks.

With Daluo Sect brimming with powerful individuals, if they happened to intercept a True Master, Martial Arts Master, or even a Great Grandmaster, wouldn't that be suicidal?

Just as they were considering moving with the main force, Pan Tianhao's following words shattered their hopes:

"We have to go in three different directions; we can only split our forces. Lord Li, since you have defended Chong City and coordinated well, you will continue on your way, heading immediately to Ming Family Town in the northwest, and you must arrive before 7 PM tonight! The remaining two groups will be handled by us."

"Lord Pan..."

"Enough!"

Pan Tianhao abruptly stood up, his gaze sternly fixed on Li Fei:

"Lord Li, please carry out the order!"

He had no authority to command an imperial envoy, but this was an order from the State Preceptor Yun Shu.

Li Fei slowly stood up, his gaze calmly meeting Pan Tianhao's:

"Understood."

Pan Tianhao gave him a deep look and then turned to lead his men away.

"This Chief Pan might be one of the Eldest Prince's men."

Lv Wenxing watched the departing figure and said to Li Fei through a transmission.

Having decided to follow Li Fei from now on, he felt less constrained in voicing his thoughts.

Knowing the merit Li Fei had accumulated in this battle, and still assigning him a task so unceremoniously, potentially land him in danger, it was very likely the intention of the Eldest Prince.

"It doesn't matter."

Li Fei said calmly, "Let's set off as well."

He then led Lv Wenxing and the others away from Chong City.

Under the morning sun, Li Fei looked back in the direction of Daluo Sect.

From the moment the interception order was issued, this once massive entity could be considered completely collapsed.

Yet, when one whale falls, countless life forms arise.

A new world was on the horizon!

...

Around 12 PM, there will be another chapter
