77: Yanyang Starfall

Li Xingyan mocked from a superior position.

This sudden scene caused a stir among the crowd.

"What immense strength! Is this Li Xingyan a Body Cultivator?"

"He doesn't look like it. It's that obsidian heavy sword that appears incredibly heavy."

... In the arena, Tian Linfeng suddenly raised his head, his crimson eyes revealing unconcealed, chilling killing intent, "Li Xingyan, you have thoroughly enraged me!"

His cold voice trembled, like a demon from Hell, sending shivers down one's spine.

"Heh~" Li Xingyan sneered dismissively, "So what if I've enraged you?"

Tian Linfeng did not reply. Vast life force swiftly spread, and within a thousand meters, countless emerald green sprouts continuously broke through the soil. Numerous plants grew wildly, with vines, branches, and tree trunks intertwining and twisting to form a massive Wood-elemental Domain.

Subsequently, Tian Linfeng's body abruptly transformed into a green leaf and vanished from his original spot.

"It's Myriad Wood Convergence!"

"I didn't expect Junior Brother Tian to have mastered Myriad Wood Convergence. This is a Domain-type Cultivation Technique. I've cultivated diligently for five years and only barely reached a hundred meters. I didn't expect Junior Brother Tian to have already reached a thousand meters."

"Terrifying, truly terrifying is Junior Brother Tian's talent!"

Below the battle stage, a Spirit Beast Sect Disciple recognized the Origin of this Cultivation Technique and immediately cried out in shock.

"Myriad Wood Convergence? That's somewhat interesting."

Li Xingyan looked at the lush scenery around him, but he could sense the danger hidden within the beautiful landscape.

As for the so-called Domain-type Cultivation Technique, Li Xingyan had heard Fire Old speak of it before.

The Domain is a power that only a Nascent Soul Cultivator can control.

The Cultivation of a Golden Core requires comprehension of Dao Intent, and Dao Intent is the most fundamental manifestation of this world's rules.

When a Cultivator's Dao Intent is strong enough, he can integrate his Dao Intent into the surrounding space, thereby changing the rules around his body.

And this is the Domain.

Within the Domain, the Cultivator controls the rules of the surrounding world and can achieve invincibility!

A Domain-type Cultivation Technique is a Cultivation Technique created by a Cultivator based on the Domain. Although it cannot change the rules, it can forcibly create an environment favorable for one's own combat, greatly enhancing one's strength.

Recalling Fire Old's teachings, Li Xingyan looked around and began to ponder countermeasures.

Just then, Tian Linfeng's attack was launched.

A gentle breeze swept through the forest, and the leaves began to rustle. Immediately, countless leaves transformed into incomparably sharp blades, following the path of the wind, and shot towards Li Xingyan.

Li Xingyan's expression was calm. He unhurriedly stamped the ground lightly, and a flame rose from the sole of his foot, traveling along the ground, forming a wall of fire in front of him, blocking the dense leaf blades.

Before Li Xingyan could counterattack, countless menacing thorns rapidly weaved through the grass, instantly binding him.

Seizing this opportunity, Tian Linfeng emerged from the forest, unleashing a powerful sword art towards Li Xingyan.

"This old trick, Tian Linfeng, can't you change it?"

Flames erupted from Li Xingyan's body, instantly incinerating the thorns. Then, he picked up the obsidian heavy sword that was standing on the ground, just as he was about to counterattack.

An anomaly occurred.

Suddenly, several dark red vines, strikingly similar to the bloody thorns, broke through the ground at Li Xingyan's feet.

But to Li Xingyan's surprise, these vines not only ignored his flames, but their barbs also pierced his skin, frantically drawing his blood, Spiritual Qi, and even his flames.

"Spirit Devouring Reincarnation Art!"

On the high platform, Li Xiangyun frowned as he watched this scene.

The Spirit Devouring Reincarnation Art is a forbidden secret art that allows the unleashed spell to absorb the power of others to strengthen oneself.

It has a certain wondrous use in terms of elemental counter-restraint.

However, this is not limitless. When the opponent's power is strong enough, the Spirit Devouring Reincarnation Art will not only be ineffective but can also easily cause a backlash.

Sun Ping had painstakingly sought out this forbidden secret art in the past to defeat him, but unfortunately, the Fusion of two Dao Intents is not as simple as one plus one equals two.

The outcome, naturally, was self-evident.

Therefore, Li Xiangyun was not overly worried.

After all, no matter what, Li Xingyan had Fire Old's spirit fire as a safeguard.

A fire of heaven and earth Origin like spirit fire is not something a mere forbidden secret art can nullify.

At the same time, on the high platform.

While Li Xingyan was trapped, Tian Linfeng's figure flickered, transforming into several figures that attacked Li Xingyan from all directions.

Within the powerful sword light, Tian Linfeng's murderous eyes gleamed.

Just at this critical moment, a dark flame erupted from Li Xingyan's body. The violent flames enveloped Li Xingyan completely, forcing the vines back.

"Roar~"

A fierce tiger's roar echoed, and a demonic tiger's phantom emerged within the black flames, its bloodthirsty tiger eyes sending chills down one's spine.

Immediately, Li Xingyan formed hand seals, unleashing a Sky-Burning Seal.

"Boom~"

Dark flames rapidly swept in all directions, and the scorching heat waves made the trees rustle loudly.

Tian Linfeng was also struck and sent flying backward.

Seeing this, Li Xingyan pursued with his heavy sword. With one swing, countless trees were cut in half.

However, in a short while, the severed trees returned to normal.

At the same time, leaf blades and wooden thorns occasionally emerged from the air and ground, attacking Li Xingyan.

Tian Linfeng's figure vanished into the forest once more.

"Hiss~ It's Dark Demonic Fire."

"I originally thought that Li Xingyan being able to Cultivate to the Foundation Establishment Stage was already an extraordinary talent. I didn't expect him to have even refined a terrifying beast fire like the Dark Demonic Fire."

As Disciples of the Spirit Beast Sect, they were extremely knowledgeable about various Yao Beasts, so with just one glance, they recognized the Origin of the beast fire on Li Xingyan's body.

But precisely because of this, they were filled with shock.

After all, an adult Dark Demonic Tiger is a fourth-tier Yao Beast!

Someone heard the discussions of the Spirit Beast Sect and couldn't help but worry, "Is the Dark Demonic Fire that terrifying? Will Tian Linfeng lose?"

No one answered him, because others were equally worried.

On the battle stage, after Tian Linfeng disappeared into the forest, he began to engage in guerrilla warfare with Li Xingyan, constantly using the terrain to ambush him.

Whenever Li Xingyan tried to pursue, attacks from above and below would continuously interfere with him.

This left him no choice but to watch Tian Linfeng disappear into the forest.

Li Xingyan had also considered destroying the forest, but the trees' recovery ability was extremely fast. Every time he destroyed an area and prepared to burn the next, the previous area would have already returned to its original state.

Under Tian Linfeng's helpless tactics, Li Xingyan was wounded in a short while.

"Hoo~"

Li Xingyan took a deep breath. His injuries didn't hurt, but they still pricked his nerves.

"In that case, I can only use this move!"

In fact, Li Xingyan had been testing the limits of this forest all along, and now the time was ripe.

"Blazing Sun Starfall!"
