“No wonder he is an emperor-class disciple.”
Li Fuchen felt his qi and blood turning cold. Peng Le’s saber qi contained extremely powerful withering and thriving laws, and also saber dao laws. It was able to affect his qi and blood vitality. If the mortal calamity power wasn’t able to block out the saber qi, Li Fuchen’s vitality might have already withered away.
“If I didn’t have the Power Devil Gloves, I can only use my blazing flame divine ability.”
Li Fuchen retreated and during the retreat, his hands were covered with black-scaled gloves.
Power Devil Gloves, earth class mid-tier body refinement gloves.
After Li Fuchen became a monarch-class disciple, he made a request for the gloves from Grandmaster Hundred Smelt, one of the five great Smithing Grandmasters of the Violet Flower Kingdom.
In order to make the gloves, Li Fuchen spent a few million low-grade spirit stones to collect the materials. After all, body refinement materials were extremely hard to find and high-grade body refinement materials were harder to find. If Li Fuchen wasn’t a monarch-class disciple that had extensive connections, it was impossible to gather all the materials.
To be honest, this set of gloves wasn’t considered a true earth class mid-tier body refinement gloves as it still had flaws. It was mainly because Grandmaster Hundred Smelt was only able to create flawless earth class low-tier body refinement equipment. He was capable enough to produce earth class mid-tier body refinement equipment but it was fortunate that Li Fuchen had provided materials of extremely high grade and there was also one earth class high-tier material. Otherwise, the Power Devil Gloves would be one tier weaker.
The process of the creation took one year and was finally completed by Grandmaster Hundred Smelt just one month ago.
Right now, it was finally the moment to use it.
After wearing the Power Devil Gloves, Li Fuchen struck with his fist again. This time, the red light was flourishing like a splendid sun and was emitting a hazy red halo.
Boom Bang!
Peng Le’s saber qi was extinguished again.
“Tree World’s Descent!”
Peng Le yelled and burst out with the Plant Wither Thrive Saber Art’s finishing move. When the saber was brandished, all of Peng Le’s qi was drawn out instantly. Within a few dozen miles, the plant shadow was rapidly growing from small stalks of grass into massive trees, malevolent green vines, unending shrubs. When inside the range of the saber field, Li Fuchen felt that everything outside was isolated and he was imprisoned in a world of plants. The malevolent vines were wrapping towards him and trying to bind him. The massive trees were extracting the surrounding vitality and attempting to extract his vitality. Those unending shrubs were like unending saber moves that were suppressing and didn’t give Li Fuchen a chance to breathe.
Everything was false and also true
The saber field caused an anomaly to the heaven and earth laws, while the deepest level of murderous intent was concealed in the anomaly.
“His earth class peak-tier saber art proficiency is even above my Cloud Flame Thousand Incineration!”
The earth class peak-tier martial arts might both be at the trance stage, but the difference with cultivation level and cultivation technique rank would affect the proficiency of the martial arts.
“In the fact of the Mortal Calamity, everything will be turned into ashes!”
Li Fuchen took a deep breath and released the red light to the extremity, making it look like a small red sun.
Boom!
Inside the sky-covering plant shadows, the red light burst out from the narrow gaps. Immediately after, the plant shadows were turned into ashes and scattered into nothingness.
“Decay of All Lives!” Peng Le immediately followed up with his kill move.
This move was an indescribable desolution and chill.
When the saber was swung, the plant shadows were gone. They were replaced with boundless dark and withered falling leaves.
The falling leaves were assaulting Li Fuchen frenziedly with murderous intent.
Every living thing would stay to decline after reaching its extreme prime. When the plants were at the peak of its thriving life, it would start to decay. That moment of decay was extremely cruel and the cruelty was exhibited from the saber moves and would naturally enhance the saber intent and the murderous intent.
Li Fuchen’s eyes were filled with admiration and he could see that Peng Le had already cultivated the earth class peak-tier to the extremity, allowing it to advance by another level, making it extremely close to a heaven class saber art.
It was a pity that Peng Le didn’t understand the Mortal Calamity.
The Mortal Calamity was originally the calamity power that was developed after all living things reached its prime. Peng Le’s saber art was only the decay of all plants after reaching its prime. The two martial arts were on fundamentally different levels.
As such, when Peng Le’s kill move made contact with Li Fuchen’s Mortal Calamity, the falling leaves started to combust and had a worse effect than the previous exchange.
Peng Le’s face turned dark as Li Fuchen’s body refinement fist art was too eccentric and seemingly restrained his Plant Wither Thrive Saber Art.
“It has been a long time since I used my greenwood divine ability. Within the same realm, no one has forced me to use my greenwood divine ability.” Peng Le sheathed his narrow and long battle saber while his body flourished with dark green radiance. Thin and green vines started to grow on his body and they were like small green snakes that were filled with spirituality.
“Greenwood Undying Vines!”
Peng Le yelled out and one of the green vines extended out and flew at Li Fuchen.
During the attack, the vine rapidly thickened into a green flood dragon and lashed at Li Fuchen,
Li Fuchen’s fist struck at the green vine’s tip.
The red light extended and withered the green vine.
However, Li Fuchen who possessed astounding spiritual awareness had frowned at this moment.
The green vine didn’t wither completely and there was a trace of vitality that still remained in the depths. The vitality was extremely horrifying and could instantly revive the green vine before it continued to lash at Li Fuchen.
After seven consecutive fists, Li Fuchen finally destroyed this green vine.
“Undying trait?” A trace of suspicion emerged in Li Fuchen’s heart.
Peng Le grinned and said, “This is divine ability, my Greenwood Undying Vines. It contains the undying law. It might only be a trace but it is enough to make a low-level Battle Spirit Realm master helpless. I am already very shocked that you can destroy one of the vines. But what about two, three or dozens of vines?”
While talking, Peng Le sent out over ten green vines.
The green vines intertwined and sealed off all of Li Fuchen’s routes of retreat.
“Undying law huh?”
Li Fuchen was rather surprised at Peng Le’s divine ability.
It was a divine ability that contained the undying law and it was extremely high grade.
The strength of one’s awakened divine ability mainly depended on three aspects. Luck, individual trait, and most importantly, bone frame.
The higher the star grade of the bone frame, the stronger the awakened divine ability. It was very obvious.
Bai Lingshuang possessed the 7-star bone frame and obviously awakened the Ice Mirror that was crafty and powerful. Murong Tianxing’s Heart of Stars was also extremely dominant and was considered an all-round divine ability.
As for Li Fuchen’s Heart of Blazing Flame, it was an anomaly.
Back when Li Fuchen awakened the Heart of Blazing Flame, he was only a 4-star bone frame, but the Heart of Blazing Flame was obviously of a rather high grade. It was definitely inferior to Murong Tianxing’s Heart of Stars, but on a certain degree, it was able to produce a similar outcome.
Li Fuchen reckoned that it was probably his individual trait that took effect.
Li Fuchen wasn’t able to deal with so many undying vines with just his Mortal Calamity.
Blaze!
Blazing flame power surged out and turned Li Fuchen into a flaming person while there was a dazzling and burning flame seed at his chest.
Li Fuchen drew the Joint-Heaven Sword and slashed at the green vines.
Crash!
The blazing flame sword light had illuminated the entire place and severed over a dozen vines while the vines combusted.
“Mm!?” The strength of Li Fuchen’s blazing flame divine ability had surprised Peng Le.
The flames were extinguished while the vines started to grow frenziedly and wrapped around Li Fuchen and continued to lash at him.
Crash! Crash!
The blazing flame sword lights weaved into a net and was scattered around Li Fuchen. The green vines were constantly severed and couldn’t approach Li Fuchen.
“Go!”
All of the green vines on Peng Le’s body were shot out like countless green snakes that covered the entire place.
Some of the green vines dug into the ground and emerged from the ground to attack Li Fuchen’s lower body. Some of the vines tangled together to form green whips that had extreme offensive power. Some of the vines grew branches and leaves to cover Li Fuchen’s vision.
In an instant, the radius within a few miles had been turned into a world of vines.
While being wrapped in the vines, Li Fuchen didn’t panic or get impatient. The Joint-Heaven Sword in his hand seemed to turn alive as the brandish speed was excessively fast and had wrapped Li Fuchen in a barrier that was formed by the blazing flame sword lights. The vines that made contact with the barrier would be immediately severed and would start burning. It was hard to get any nearer.
Peng Le’s face turned dark as he could see that Li Fuchen’s blazing flame divine ability was obviously comprehended to an extremely profound level. His Greenwood Undying Vines might be superior in grade and he had also comprehended the bone frame pattern to four and a half segments. He was already considered the elite among the elites.
Peng Le couldn’t imagine how many segments of the blazing flame bone frame patterns have Li Fuchen comprehended.
The battle entered the climax and gradually entered a deadlock.
Peng Le’s Greenwood Undying Vines contained the undying law and even if it was severed and burned, it would still revive repeatedly.
Li Fuchen’s Heart of Blazing Flame contained extremely profound blazing flame law. When he brandished his sword, there wasn’t nothing he couldn’t sever and nothing he could burn.
As time elapsed, Zhang Dajiang and the others had also arrived.
They were all shocked by this scene.
It was fine if Li Fuchen was powerful. When did another person that was as formidable as Li Fuchen appear?
“Is that an emperor-class disciple?” Zhang Dajiang thought of something.
“So these are emperor-class disciples?” Qin Ming originally wanted to seize more mountain ranges after Peng Le to defeat Li Fuchen. But now, he didn’t have such ideas anymore.
As a monarch-class disciple, Qin Ming felt disappointed.
It was truly infuriating to compare with others.
Even as a monarch-class disciple, he was no different from a passerby when facing an emperor-class disciple. The residual shockwaves from the duo’s exchanges were so dreadful that he felt he would die once he got within the range of a few miles.
A long time later, Peng Le said, “I cannot win you. Let’s consider this a draw!”
There would naturally be a victor if they fought till the end. But it wasn’t necessary as this wasn’t a life and death battle. It would be a huge loss if he had to exhaust all of his greenwood power.
“Sure.” Li Fuchen didn’t desire to continue the battle too.
Although he had 70% confidence to defeat Peng Le if they fought to the end.
Apart from his blazing flame divine ability, his body refinement strength was extremely powerful and wasn’t any weaker than his blazing flame divine ability. If they fight with their lives, Peng Le wouldn’t be able to break his defenses within a short moment.
“Give me some face and return all the mountain ranges that originally belonged to the Tyrant Saber Sect.” Peng Le said.
Li Fuchen shook his head, “At most half. Otherwise, I cannot agree.”
“Alright, we shall fight again next time.”
Peng Le wasn’t angry. As long as he could defeat Li Fuchen next time, everything would be up to him.
