Chapter 685: Chapter 483: Tugging at the Soul (Alliance Leader Bonus: Prosperity Gu)

In the darkness, two dazzling lights appeared, like two sharp swords, forcibly splitting this endless abyss. Li Yi and Yang Wei joined forces to fight their way out of the building, advancing triumphantly. Along the way, the evil objects and monsters that approached were severely injured, either killed immediately or grievously wounded, lying on the ground with mournful cries of reluctance.

They had only advanced a few kilometers, yet already the ground was littered with corpses.

However, the monsters in the darkness seemed endless. No matter how many were killed, there were always more monsters charging in one after another.

The frenzied state of the monsters was very unsettling.

It must be noted that when Li Yi got off the train before and made a move, he managed to intimidate some monsters, preventing them from approaching rashly. But now, no matter how many monsters he killed, it had no deterrent effect. It seemed as if some force was secretly manipulating these monsters, making them lose their fear and turn frenzied.

But there was no time to think about that now.

Trying to break through this darkness was not an easy task because this dark area was vast. Without a train, walking was too slow, not to mention the monsters blocking the way.

"What on earth has Yang Wei cultivated? His strength and physique are truly astonishing. From the beginning of the battle until now, he hasn’t even taken a breath. Is this also some kind of supernatural power?" Li Yi’s body was enveloped in a silver Gang Qi, as if it cost nothing to expend. The twelve acupoints within him continuously provided massive amounts of Qi-Blood.

His entire body emitted a silver aura that burned like flames, no matter how deep the darkness, it could never engulf the light on him.

With such a strong physique, Li Yi’s battling ability was terrifying even without using mana. He could fight here for three days and nights without risk of exhaustion. If he supplemented his strength with elixirs, he could battle for a month, assuming he didn’t encounter any overly terrifying monsters.

"Not bad, your strength is finally somewhat presentable, actually able to keep up with my pace." Yang Wei took a moment to glance his way, nodding in affirmation of Li Yi’s abilities.

"Have you been enhanced by supernatural powers, or do you practice some kind of dual cultivation technique?" As Li Yi swung his massive silver axe, the Sword Gang tore through a monster before him. He then flew forward close to the ground, his Gang Qi exploding again, forcing nearby monsters to retreat.

Yang Wei replied, "It’s not supernatural powers, it’s the Heavenly Gang Undying Battle Technique. With this technique in operation, nothing is unbreakable, and I remain unfatigued after a hundred battles. It pushes my life’s potential to its peak, every move is a flawless killing strike. Combined with the unlocked shackles of an Evolver, I can surpass limits and peaks in a single blow. Plus, I understand your Fist Power. If I consolidate all my strength into a single point, and gave me a decent weapon, I could make several rounds of killing in this world."

His aura surged, his whole body glowing with golden light, revealing his keen edge, while the immortal aura entwined him, unleashing power with every gesture.

Just a slight movement of his long sword caused a series of explosions in the air, seemingly tearing through space, cutting the monsters in half with a single strike.

From afar, it looked like a golden sword light bursting forth, taking away swathes of evil objects.

"Heavenly Gang Undying Battle Technique?"

Li Yi’s eyes shifted, noticing certain traits in Yang Wei’s combat style. The opponent was using a special battle technique to stack his strength to the utmost, while also squeezing his life’s potential, appearing like someone on their deathbed flaring up once more, unleashing infinite power.

Yet the brilliance of this battle technique lay in maintaining this state indefinitely.

This was surpassing the limits to the pinnacle.

No wonder he could decapitate the Undying Sword King with one strike.

But logically, this technique should have some flaw.

Either the peak state doesn’t last long, constantly falling out of battle mode, or it backfires afterward, leaving one heavily injured.

But this Yang Wei seemed to have circumvented such risks.

"No, he hasn’t avoided the risk; it’s that he’s constantly maintaining this state." Li Yi quickly noticed the clue.

As one approached Yang Wei, energy from the surroundings crazily surged into his body, as if turning into dry wood, fueling his burn. Moreover, his sword seemed to absorb part of the life force of the monsters he killed, feeding it back to him.

He’s not afraid of the darkness’s erosion, combined with the monster’s life force as nourishment, making him increasingly fierce.

The consumption couldn’t keep up with the increase.

No wonder the golden aura on him grew ever denser.

To break this method, one must not besiege him. A master of equal level must be engaged to deplete his life’s potential and force him out of the battle mode to have a chance at victory.

"As his life’s potential is released, his strength is actually increasing..." Li Yi then noticed another detail.

This Yang Wei wasn’t just growing stronger as he fought; his entire being was transcending in battle, undergoing rapid evolution.

Clearly, the Heavenly Gang Undying Battle Technique he spoke of perfectly matched his Evolution Method. As long as he fought, he would evolve and break through. He was already in the Spirit Power Realm, and if he kept killing in the Dark World for days, he might emerge in the Spirit God Realm.

Truly terrifying.

Li Yi was secretly alarmed. If this guy got hold of the Heavenly Dao Sect’s Dragon Subduing and Tiger Suppressing Technique, he’d be unstoppable, practically flying up to stand shoulder to shoulder with the sun.

However, his Divine Martial Path was also extraordinary.

Once the three hundred and sixty-five acupoints were lit, combined with the Five Qi Realm, and mastering Dragon and Tiger Power, he could truly claim his power was boundless. Moreover, when Five Qi Chaoyuan occurred, the Primordial Spirit Flower that would be nurtured—he couldn’t even imagine its strength.

Additionally, Li Yi discovered under the influence of Yang Wei’s battle technique, his combat seemed nearly divine. All techniques came naturally to him, even replicating killing moves he only glanced at, and executing them with more proficiency than their original users.

This truly makes one’s heart pound with fear.

It seems as if this person was born for battle.

The two joined forces and advanced several kilometers.

At this point, they found that the number of monsters around had suddenly decreased significantly.

It seemed that the encirclement had been broken through.

Realizing this, everyone’s spirits were lifted, and they hurried their steps, eager to escape this predicament in one go.

"Do not let your guard down, the real danger is just beginning." Li Yi suddenly sensed something, he looked towards the depths of the darkness ahead, his earlier Gang Qi had slashed forward, spanning three kilometers in an instant, but it suddenly extinguished halfway.

The probing strike was intercepted by something.

At the same time, the soul’s warning appeared again.

"On the battlefield, behind every soldier stands a general. The monsters earlier were just a small appetizer, and moreover, the other side is waiting for us to break through, thus putting us in a dilemma. I knew this all along, but there’s no choice; either we break through, or be trapped and die in the building." Yang Wei said calmly at this moment, his demeanor completely different from before.

Afterward, he slowed his pace, signaling the others behind him subtly.

The people behind, including Yu Chuan, Ning Wu, Hai Li, and others, understood the signal and immediately gathered to prepare for self-defense.

"Careful." Suddenly, Li Yi shouted.

The next moment.

Flames appeared in the darkness ahead, and then the fire grew larger, the surroundings instantly became bright, and this fire was very eerie, black-red in color, burning out of thin air, and its burning range grew larger and larger, until finally turning into a vast sea of flames sweeping towards them, all the people only felt their souls painfully scorched under the illumination of the flames.

"It’s the soul-searing Hellfire." Mei Ling behind them reminded.

"Let me handle it."

Seeing this, Li Yi could no longer hold back, he extended his finger, a dazzling light gathered, and then pointed forward.

Dividing River into Land.

In an instant, the sea of Hellfire was split open, forming a straight path piercing into the far distance, no matter how the Hellfire raged around, it could never engulf this opened up path, as if some mysterious power was blocking it all.

Once the flames were split open, everyone was unharmed, having stood firm in this Hellfire Sea.

Yet the astonishing flames were enough to melt everything, the surrounding ground was sinking, dark red magma flowing and intermittently bubbling.

The heat emanating was roasting not people’s bodies, but their souls, making one feel a piercing pain throughout the body, as if about to be melted.

Additionally, in this fire sea, a tall figure emerged, its entire being wrapped in hellfire, skin charred black, holding an iron whip embedded with nails, at this moment fixing an unwavering gaze on Li Yi, Yang Wei, and the others, as if about to drag them into hell to never reincarnate.

"It’s the legendary Demon, the Hell Flame Demon, its fiery whip can pull out a person’s soul, extremely terrifying, everyone be careful." The strong man Hai Li shouted loudly, he seemed to know these monsters in the darkness very well, directly calling out the opponent’s name and the corresponding tactics.

"I’m not good at extinguishing fire, Li, it’s up to you, I’ll go kill that demon." Yang Wei was enveloped in golden light all over, holding the Immortal Gold treasure sword, directly charging forward disregarding the Hellfire’s scorching.

In the fierce flames, his figure transformed into a streak of golden light tearing through the sky, the air roaring, sonic booms continuously exploding.

In just a split second, Yang Wei had already arrived in front of the Flame Demon.

The Immortal Gold treasure sword swung down, dazzling sword light burst forth, under the pinnacle of power, nothing could withstand it, with just one strike the Flame Demon’s head was cleaved into a ghastly gash.

However, the monster did not die, the flowing from the wound was not blood, but dark red magma.

The magma squirmed, the wound healed, the Flame Demon roared, swinging the fiery iron whip in its hand, instantly wrapping around Yang Wei.

The barbs on the iron whip pierced into Yang Wei’s body, as if hooking onto his soul, at this moment pulling hard, trying to extract his soul from his body.

But something strange happened.

The Hell Flame Demon did not pull out Yang Wei’s soul, instead, from within his body it pulled out a monstrous dog-like black wolf.

The wolf had red eyes, was biting the iron whip, snarling ferociously.

"His soul is a dog? No, that’s not right, there’s a dog residing within his soul." Li Yi’s eyelids twitched, revealing an incredulous expression.

The monstrous dog immediately charged at the Hell Flame Demon, but its form quickly blurred, gradually disappearing from everyone’s sight.
