Boom!!!
Another punch struck Xiang Li’s face hard.
His body instantly shot out backward and plowed a trench several hundred meters long into the ground.
“Ugh!”
Xiang Li struggled to rise from the ground.
After a single blow,
his skull was dented.
Blood flowed from the holes on his face.
With his fierce expression, he looked as terrifying as an evil ghost.
He couldn’t win.
He couldn’t win at all.
Whether it was strength, speed, or defense.
When facing Li Wuji, Xiang Li had no power to fight back.
Five minutes had passed since their battle began.
The two fought further and further apart.
Wherever they went,
nothing grew, and the scene was disastrous.
This couldn’t even be called a battle anymore.
Rather, it was a one-sided beating by Li Wuji.
If it weren’t for the inexhaustible energy supplied by the nuclear cells in his body, constantly repairing his injuries,
Xiang Li estimated that-
he wouldn’t last even ten seconds before the implantation of the nuclear cells.
Until now,
facing Li Wuji’s onslaught of fierce wind and torrential rain-like attacks,
Xiang Li’s inner energy was gradually unable to support him.
He had just made a move, preparing to climb out of the trench,
when Li Wuji instantly appeared by his side and smashed down a punch!
Boom!!!
With this blow,
Xiang Li was directly embedded into the ground.
Li Wuji, in such a state, was unwilling to waste time.
He immediately pressed his advantage.
Countless punches rained down on Xiang Li’s body like droplets of rain.
“Ahhh!!!!”
Xiang Li couldn’t resist and could only passively endure.
With the support of the nuclear cell energy,
the speed of his injury recovery barely kept up with the speed of his injuries.
But the power of the nuclear cells is large, not infinite.
As time passed,
the recovery speed slowed down.
Xiang Li, facing Li Wuji, was even more powerless to resist.
Eventually,
another minute passed.
Boom!!!
The two were ten meters underground.
Xiang Li’s body was soaked in blood, completely unrecognizable as human.
He was even breathing less and less.
It seemed that he had completely lost consciousness.
However,
Li Wuji’s expression did not ease because of this.
On the contrary, it grew more solemn.
Ever since he was robbed of his spiritual and physical powers by the Respected Elder, he didn’t fall into decay.
Instead, he began preparing for the worst and seeking methods to recover his strength.
Formerly, Li Wuji-
before the Tide Rising Period arrived, he could cultivate the Breathing Technique and secret skills, becoming the number one in the Chinese Martial Arts World. Needless to say how talented he was.
To possess his once strength, it’s nothing more than starting from scratch and retracing his steps.
It wasn’t until later,
when the Respected Elder began showing signs of something wrong,
that Li Wuji realized-
he couldn’t continue cultivating so slowly.
He had to find a way to upgrade his strength to a level that could suppress the Respected Elder and the Holy Sect Sect Leader within the shortest time.
Thus,
Li Wuji created a cultivation technique called The Ultimate Power of Chaos.
This was a method that absorbed energy on ordinary days and could exponentially explode one’s strength at critical moments.
The only flaw-
his current body and the remaining soul in his mind were not compatible.
Li Wuji could start cultivating his spiritual power from scratch,
but the compatibility issue between the physical body and soul was difficult to solve.
Therefore,
his time in the explosive state was extremely short, and the energy he could detonate was limited.
Furthermore, it required a significant amount of time to slowly polish,
to best display the strength in the explosive state.
However, as Feng said-
Xiang Li was not the most significant obstacle.
It was the Respected Elder and his former physical body.
And now,
it took him two minutes just to defeat Xiang Li.
Only three minutes remained.
Li Wuji looked at his arm,
his expression somewhat difficult.
Fine cracks had appeared on it.
This body couldn’t withstand such terrifying power and was gradually collapsing.
He had to hurry.
And go to the Holy Sect Sect Leader’s location.
Although he didn’t need to waste time searching for the Holy Sect Sect Leader’s location based on the faint perception between the physical body and soul-
still,
the Respected Elder would surely be prepared and not allow him to easily seize his body to restore his martial arts strength.
At that time,
he would have to devise countermeasures.
Having thought about it all,
Li Wuji had no hesitation left.
He immediately prepared to go to the Holy Sect Sect Leader’s location.
He exerted force on his feet,
and in a blink of an eye, he was about to take off.
Smack!
But just then-
a palm suddenly grabbed Li Wuji’s ankle.
Hmm?
Li Wuji looked down.
It was Xiang Li.
How could it be?!
He was incredulous in his heart.
Even now, Xiang Li still showed no signs of being sober.
How did his body suddenly move on its own?
To answer Li Wuji’s question-
“Sigh.”
a soft sigh-
resounded from within Xiang Li’s body.
Hearing this voice, the familiarity could not become any more familiar.
Li Wuji’s pupils shrank.
“You and I were originally one.”
“I am also acting according to your will.”
“Why make a fuss like this?”
Crack… Crackle!
A hair-raising, dissonant sound echoed in the pit.
Xiang Li’s body, which had been severely disfigured by Li Wuji’s attack, suddenly began to convulse continuously.
Like a broken doll, under the influence of some unknown power, it restored its original appearance at an alarming speed.
The damaged flesh kept mending,
and the broken bones continuously healed.
Boom!!!
Li Wuji, who had spent many years practicing martial arts and had rich combat experience,
would never let an enemy recover easily.
The moment the strange noise appeared,
his arm, filled with strange colors, slammed into Xiang Li’s body like a cannonball.
But-
Compared to before.
This time,
although his fist hit Xiang Li’s body,
it seemed as if it didn’t affect him at all. He just calmly stared at Li Wuji.
“Sigh.”
Another sigh.
“My current strength is what you once desperately pursued.”
“How come now it seems you’ve forgotten its abilities.”
“Could it be that you’re getting old and confused?”
Xiang Li’s body slowly stood up from the ground.
He looked at Li Wuji’s arm as if it was nothing, just taking a step forward.
Standing in front of Li Wuji.
With a compassionate expression,
Xiang Li’s face appeared very out of place.
But Li Wuji knew that very well.
It was Respected Elder who was controlling Xiang Li’s body.
Power of the Heart.
As the name suggests,
it is the power of idealism.
In more colloquial terms,
it can, to a certain extent, ignore the laws of reality and achieve various impossible things.
Used in research, it can forcefully break through the key step of some impossible-to-complete medicines’.
Or, like helping Xiang Li, fuse nuclear elements with human cells.
Used in combat, the holder of the Power of the Heart’s share can directly reshape the rules of reality.
This level of ability is aptly called a bug.
Li Wuji initially couldn’t even imagine how a Heavenly Person with this ability was sealed.
Not until later,
after seizing power and truly possessing the Power of the Heart,
did Li Wuji understand.
Although the Power of the Heart is very terrifying, even omnipotent,
having power inevitably requires a price.
Such a terrifying Authority Power not only requires extremely slow cultivation, but also can be dozens or even hundreds of times that of other powers.
Even just using it can put a terrifying burden on the user’s body.
If it’s just some combat abilities that conform to the laws of reality, it’s fine.
But if it’s an anti-reality ability,
just a small-scale and non-specific modification requires a terrifying amount of energy consumption.
If it is a modification with a specific target,
based on the strong and weak of the target,
the amount of energy required will exponentially increase enormously.
That is something a human body simply cannot bear.
If not careful, it will lead to a situation where both the soul and the physical body collapse and instantly turn into a puddle of mud.
That’s why,
for so many years,
Respected Elder has been relying on others or creating cloning himself, never using his real body to do things.
It’s just because the risk was too great.
And now,
seeing Xiang Li in front of him,
Li Wuji instantly understood what Respected Elder’s plan was.
There are many bodies that Respected Elder can use,
but the body of the Holy Sect Sect Leader is the strongest.
It is also the biggest trump card for facing the Heavenly Person in the future.
Respected Elder is not willing to watch Li Wuji regain control of his body.
Because once that happens,
even if he can deal with Li Wuji, he will have to consume a large number of bodies, which will not be worth the loss.
Therefore,
As soon as Respected Elder, who sensed something amiss through Xiang Li’s body,
decided to take the initiative to appear.
The goal,
of course, is to.delay Li Wuji’s footsteps.
Until,
the situation is settled.
Things have become difficult…
Li Wuji’s face turned extremely ugly.
Once he was also a holder of the Power of the Heart’s Authority,
he naturally knew the many pros and cons of this power.
Although now using Xiang Li’s body,
the Power of the Heart’s Authority that Respected Elder can exert certainly won’t be much.
However,
with the Power of the Heart’s Authority,
as long as Respected Elder is determined to delay time, he might not be able to deal with him.
But even so,
Li Wuji has no intention of waiting for death.
With this thought,
his gaze became sharp.
The divine light on his body surface illuminated the night sky.
The colorful arm suddenly tore through the air and slammed into Xiang Li with unstoppable force.
This time,
he gave it his all.
As long as he forcefully destroyed Xiang Li’s body,
then no matter how powerful Respected Elder was, it would be just like sourceless water.
Facing Li Wuji’s attack,
Respected Elder, who was controlling Xiang Li’s body now, remained calm.
He also threw a punch, seemingly light and fluttering.
Next.second,
their fists collided heavily.
Boom!!!
An invisible shock wave swept through once again.
Roaring sounds were endless in their ears.
Smoke and dust filled the air, completely engulfing both figures.
But, to Li Wuji’s great surprise,
when facing his full-strength attack,
Xiang Li… or rather.Respected Elder,
remained unharmed, not even shaking his body at all.
On the contrary,
a huge ravine appeared behind him.
It looked as if his fist had not hit Respected Elder,
but had directly bombarded the ground.
Crack.
Just then,
a crack suddenly appeared on Respected Elder’s body.
Unlike ordinary injuries,
underneath this crack was not flesh and blood.
But chaotic darkness.
Swish!
Seeing this scene,
Li Wuji suddenly looked up, his face full of disbelief as he looked at Respected Elder.
“Have you gone mad?”
Respected Elder actually used Authority Power to directly change the force rules on Xiang Li’s body,
making him able to ignore Li Wuji’s attack and pour all the force onto the ground.
The consequence of doing so,
is causing permanent and irreversible damage to Xiang Li’s physical body and soul.
Even if Xiang Li recovers later, his strength will be greatly reduced.
Faced with Li Wuji’s questioning,
Respected Elder remained silent.
He controlled the nuclear cells in Xiang Li’s body, quickly releasing energy.
His attack, like a fierce wind and torrential rain, descended.
Li Wuji had no choice but to fight back.
However, his attacks could never harm Respected Elder.
On the contrary, going all out only made his burst state time reduced rapidly.
Why?
Looking at Respected Elder, who was covered in cracks but still continuing the attack,
Li Wuji was puzzled.
Respected Elder seemed… very anxious?</p
