Chapter 127 Killing the Styx

With a furious roar from Li Minghe, a vast sea of blood surged toward the Thunder Dragon.

The collision of the two terrifying forces produced a soaring spiritual explosion, kicking up sand and dust that blotted out the sky for hundreds of meters, resembling the mushroom cloud of a small nuclear explosion from a distance.

Ye Fan's strike had maximized the advantages of time and place. Using the yinglong sword to channel the power of Extreme Thunder Valley's weather phenomena and fully activating the Divine Sword Thunder Control Art, its power was actually comparable to a Peak Core Formation Realm strike.

The Thunder Dragon and the Blood Sea clashed, their forces constantly consuming and entangling each other, momentarily appearing evenly matched.

Li Minghe was also stunned by this sudden attack, unable to believe it came from a Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivator.

If he hadn't burned his inner elixir to forcibly obtain power, he might have died under this strike.

"No wonder Xiao'er died by his hand. This brat indeed has some tricks."

"Pity you are only at the Foundation Establishment Realm. This strike is far from enough to kill me!"

Although the explosive power of both sides was evenly matched, Ye Fan's cultivation level was a limiting factor, and his weakness of lacking staying power quickly became exposed.

Moments later, the Thunder Dragon's form was gradually devoured by the Blood Sea, its piercing thunderclaps echoing through heaven and earth like mournful wails.

Ye Fan decisively detonated the Thunder Dragon. The secondary attack evaporated most of the Blood Sea, and his figure once again transformed into lightning to escape, giving Li Minghe no chance to pursue.

Ye Fan withdrew immediately after failing a single strike. Although Li Minghe had gained the upper hand, he could do nothing about it, his aged face twisted with extreme displeasure.

"Ye Fan! I will definitely kill you!"

Li Minghe's furious roar echoed throughout Extreme Thunder Valley, yet he could do nothing but attempt to break the Formation once more.

On the other side, Ye Fan hurriedly stuffed several Medicinal Pills into his mouth to replenish his spiritual power, his pale complexion improving slightly.

"As expected of the Sect Master of the Blood Demon Sect. The power after burning his inner elixir is probably not inferior to the Golden Core Realm." Ye Fan couldn't help but sigh.

Watching as Li Minghe gathered power once more in an attempt to break the Formation, Ye Fan showed not a trace of panic. He merely focused on recovering his spiritual power, only making a second move when the five elements array flags were about to give way.

Just as Li Minghe attempted a full-power strike to shatter the Five Elements Great Array, a terrifying meteorite over a hundred meters in diameter seemed to appear out of thin air before crashing down fiercely toward Li Minghe.

"Heaven Collapse!"

"This is a curse-type Divine Ability?!"

Facing Ye Fan's unexpected attack, Li Minghe was so enraged he nearly vomited blood.

He couldn't comprehend how a mere Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivator like Ye Fan could possess so many trump cards?!

But the meteorite fell with earth-shattering force, giving Li Minghe no time to think. He could only shift his focus to neutralize the meteorite's assault first.

A crimson river surged toward the sky like a tidal wave, resembling a giant hand desperately holding up the meteorite. The collision of the two forces shook heaven and earth, making the entire Extreme Thunder Valley tremble thrice.

This immense power drained the color from Li Minghe's face. He could only bite his tongue, sacrificing a mouthful of essence blood to elevate his power another level.

"Break for me!"

The Blood Sea surged like a tide, dyeing the sky red. The terrifying meteorite was gradually devoured, corroded to nothing within mere seconds.

The Blood Sea slowly flowed back into Li Minghe's body. As if suffering from indigestion, his figure swayed three times, nearly collapsing to the ground.

Between Ye Fan's two attacks and the prolonged consumption from breaking the Formation, the power Li Minghe gained by burning his inner elixir was nearing its limit. He even had to cautiously avoid Extreme Thunder Valley's heavenly lightning, as a single strike would mean serious injury.

If he couldn't break free from the Formation soon, awaiting him would be death by exhaustion.

Li Minghe couldn't believe a Foundation Establishment Realm trash had forced him into such a desperate situation. Alongside the humiliation, an unprecedented will to survive erupted within him.

His next strike would gather all his power to destroy Ye Fan along with this damned Formation.

Ye Fan's condition wasn't much better. Due to consuming a large number of Medicinal Pills in a short time, his body developed severe resistance, preventing him from relying on pills to recover in the near future.

"Life or death hinges on this final blow." Ye Fan thought to himself.

Li Minghe released all his blood and Qi power. A terrifying Blood Sea nearly submerged Extreme Thunder Valley before swiftly converging back toward him.

Under Ye Fan's tense gaze, a Blood Demon Giant rose from the earth!

Ten meters, twenty meters, thirty meters, forty meters...

The Blood Demon Giant's form continuously expanded, seemingly without end. In an instant, it became a horrifying monster a hundred meters tall, and even then, it showed no signs of stopping.

Streaks of heavenly lightning struck the Blood Demon Giant, the wounds they created instantly healing and regenerating.

The Blood Demon Giant's massive hand touched the Five Elements Formation barrier, as if intending to tear it apart by brute force.

The spiritual light on the five Formation Flags flickered wildly, appearing on the verge of shattering along with the great Formation at any moment.

"Die! Die! Die! All of you, die for me!"

The Blood Demon Giant let out a furious roar, akin to an ancient primordial beast. Fortunately, the golden armor immortal robe dissipated most of the oppressive aura; otherwise, Ye Fan might not even have been able to stand.

"Huff... The final strike!"

Heaven and earth's spiritual power madly converged toward Ye Fan. In the next instant, the perpetually lingering thunderclouds over Extreme Thunder Valley were torn open, and five colossal pillars slowly emerged from the cloud layer!

"Qiankun Heaven Imprisoning Hand!"

Seeing the hundred-zhang hand that blotted out the sky before him, Li Minghe couldn't help but tremble from head to toe. A complex mix of rage and terror nearly drove him to madness as he desperately tried to block this heaven-trampling palm.

The Blood Demon Giant raised both palms skyward to collide with the Imprisoning Hand. In that instant, an invisible force field sealed heaven and earth.

Moments later, Li Minghe felt all the bones in his body wail, his muscles tear, and his internal organs gradually shift out of place.

The Blood Demon Giant's feet sank deep into the ground. After a brief stalemate, its massive form knelt with a thunderous crash. Li Minghe couldn't help but vomit large mouthfuls of blood.

"No! Impossible! I won't lose! I definitely won't die!"

Li Minghe roared madly, attempting to counterattack. But as the Imprisoning Hand descended foot by foot, the Blood Demon Giant seemed scorched by raging flames. The blood and Qi surrounding its body gradually evaporated, its hundred-meter size visibly shrinking.

"No! This can't be! Impossible! Break for me! Break!"

"Die for me!"

Under Ye Fan's full exertion, the Imprisoning Hand was unstoppable. Ancient martial truths from the Legacies of bygone Cultivators flickered between its palm lines. The power of this single strike was enough to rival a Golden Core Realm Great Cultivator!

"NO!!"

The Blood Demon Giant roared and struggled, its muscles swelling violently in an attempt to break free. But the Imprisoning Hand descended with the force of Heaven Collapse!

Accompanied by a terrifying roar, the earth churned upward like waves.

Muffled sounds of muscle and bone explosion came from the center of the palm imprint. The Blood Demon Sect's proud regenerative abilities seemed utterly futile under the Imprisoning Hand.

When the sky-blotting dust finally settled, this once-overbearing Sect Master of the Blood Demon Sect had completely perished, his Dao extinguished.

After seeing everything clearly, Ye Fan could hold on no longer. His figure swayed and he plummeted from hundreds of meters in the air.

He couldn't mobilize even the slightest bit of spiritual power now. The outcome of falling at this speed went without saying.

"It's over... I might have overplayed my hand this time."

Just as Ye Fan prepared to close his eyes and await death, dazzling white lotuses bloomed out of thin air. A familiar, enchanting figure caught Ye Fan in her embrace.

"It's You Tan..."

This was Ye Fan's last thought before losing consciousness. By the time he woke up again, several days had already passed.
