200: Chapter 200 is skipped.
Daoist Taixu's eyes were bloodshot and his hands trembled as he took two steps forward. "Bai Zhu, you'll be fine. You'll be fine..."
He had raised Bai Zhu since childhood; though not his biological son, he had long regarded him as his own.
Throughout three hundred long years, he had always taken pride in Bai Zhu.
With Bai Zhu's help, he had become a Martial Artist, reached the Innate realm, and eventually even became a Life and Death Realm expert, wielding great power he never dared to imagine in the past.
Seeing Bai Zhu in this state now, how could his heart not ache?
Beside him, the Secretary-General also stepped forward with a sorrowful expression, his voice choking as he said, "We have failed you! We have failed you!"
The Secretary-General was also an elder of the Blue Star Civilization. Thanks to the spread of normal Laws of the Universe after the Great Migration, the Lifespan of those in the Xiantian Realm could reach five hundred years.
Bai Zhu smiled slightly and shook his head slowly. "Secretary-General, please do not say that. You did it for the sake of the entire civilization!"
Hearing Bai Zhu say this, the Secretary-General felt even more grief-stricken.
Bai Zhu's contribution to the civilization was truly immense; the presence or absence of Bai Zhu led to two completely different outcomes.
Just as the Secretary-General was about to say more,
Suddenly,
A commotion broke out.
"Who is it?!"
Gu Daoyi's eyes flashed like lightning as he instantly barked out a shout.
His expression was grave, and his massive Life and Death Realm aura was fully revealed.
Just now, he had inadvertently glimpsed something unusual, and turning his head, he saw a blurred figure standing quietly a few meters away.
A faint colored light enveloped the person, obscuring their form.
This immediately put Gu Daoyi on high alert.
The person was only a few meters away, yet he hadn't noticed when they appeared at all.
He didn't even know who it was!
He was familiar with the auras of almost all Life and Death Realm experts in the Blue Star Civilization.
But from this individual, he could not detect any aura whatsoever.
In his Divine Sense, there was no one there at all.
The person could only be seen with the naked eye!!!
Obscuring their form and appearing at such a critical moment—Gu Daoyi couldn't help but suspect the worst.
Was it an enemy?!
Was it a friend!?
Regardless, at this critical juncture, he couldn't let them get close.
With a boom,
Gu Daoyi's Divine Sense surged, sealing off the aura of Bai Zhu's room.
This was an effective method to prevent mental probes.
Martial cultivation gave birth to Divine Sense, while the Cosmic Union's cultivation utilized pure Mental Energy.
Through constant contact between the two, Martial Artists had naturally discovered how to block Mental Energy probes.
At this moment, it wasn't just Gu Daoyi.
Because of Bai Zhu, a large number of Daoist experts were already present.
Hearing Gu Daoyi's shout, they all vibrated their Divine Sense, cutting off Mental Energy probes on one hand and sealing off the blurred figure on the other.
Ji Yebai had long known about the numerous experts here.
He hadn't come silently; choosing this method was inherently a form of testing.
On one hand, he wanted to know the reason for Bai Zhu's failure; on the other, he wanted to test the level of these people's will.
Ji Yebai smiled slightly.
He walked forward.
"Halt!!!"
Gu Daoyi roared!
However,
Ji Yebai ignored him completely and took another step forward.
At this, a fierce light gleamed in Gu Daoyi's eyes.
"You're looking for death!!!"
With a cold low roar, his aura erupted violently, causing the floor tiles beneath his feet to crack under the pressure. In the next instant, white light surged around Gu Daoyi as he threw a savage punch toward Ji Yebai.
With this punch, Gu Daoyi had no intention of holding back.
At this moment, whether the newcomer was a local expert of the Blue Star Civilization or a spy from another civilization, since they hadn't identified themselves, they would be treated as an enemy!!!
It was precisely this decisiveness that had allowed the Blue Star Civilization to emerge from the Great Turmoil of years past.
Gu Daoyi was very resolute, and he didn't hold back his strength in the slightest.
Martial cultivation focused on the Physical Body.
The Physical Body was the Foundation of a Martial Artist.
At such close range, Gu Daoyi was one hundred percent certain that even a Legendary Intermediate or even a High-level Legendary would not dare to block this punch with their own strength.
At long range, Legendary Warriors who focused on mental cultivation were stronger;
But once in close quarters, a Martial Artist with diverse Moves and power elevated to the Peak was unstoppable.
But,
Such a powerful punch
Failed to achieve even the slightest result.
Under everyone's incredulous gazes, Gu Daoyi's punch—which concentrated his entire body's strength—came within three meters of the blurred figure, only to be frozen in place as if it had entered some kind of gel.
Seeing this, everyone's expressions changed drastically.
At this very moment,
Everyone realized.
This was a powerful enemy!
A terrifyingly powerful enemy!
Although Gu Daoyi was only at the first level of the Life and Death Realm, he was still in the Life and Death Realm.
A full-force punch contained not just True Essence, but also unparalleled punching force.
With multiple forces condensed, even a fellow Life and Death Realm expert wouldn't dare say they could take this Move lightly.
In an instant, everyone's hearts chilled.
"Who are you!?"
Daoist Taixu shouted.
Simultaneously, the auras of everyone present skyrocketed.
The moment Ji Yebai's foot landed, they attacked directly.
Boom!!!
The wind and clouds surged.
An indescribable terror.
Nearly ten Life and Death Realm experts and dozens of Xiantian Realm experts present
Attacked together.
And it was an unreserved attack.
The air in front of them exploded directly.
Attack after attack fell frantically toward Ji Yebai.
Buildings collapsed, and trees were snapped one after another.
Even the ground beneath their feet began to tremble incessantly.
If this place weren't a Daoist Holy Land covered in countless runes, this single strike would have been enough to sink the entire ground.
However,
Facing such an onslaught, Ji Yebai didn't stop for a second.
Buzz!!!
He took a step forward without haste, and a terrifying pressure was instantly born.
Accompanying the pressure was an invisible ripple.
Everyone present, even those in the Life and Death Realm like Daoist Taixu, felt their True Essence stagnate and their Divine Sense grow sluggish.
The invisible ripple spread out, and the earth-shattering strike combined from everyone was directly smoothed away before their incredulous eyes.
As the ripple brushed over their bodies, everyone present even had the illusion that they were facing an irresistible god.
At this moment, everyone was stunned.
What a scene this was.
There were ten Life and Death Realm experts from the Blue Star Civilization, and dozens of Xiantian Martial Artists from Daoism, Buddhism, the government, and other factions.
With such strength, even if they went to the Panxi Civilization, they would have to be taken seriously.
But now,
In front of this blurred figure, they couldn't even last for a breath.
Everyone was like being trapped in amber, frozen in place.
Pressure as heavy as a mountain and a god-like fear that one couldn't look directly at deeply filled the hearts of everyone present.
At this moment, even moving a single bit felt incredibly difficult for them.
High-level Legendary?!
Legendary Peak!?
Just what kind of great power was required to achieve this with a single step!?
What was his purpose?!
What did he want to do!?
The Blue Star Civilization is in danger!
Countless conjectures swirled in their minds.
Fear grew and their hearts trembled.
Facing the crowd's fear, Ji Yebai smiled slightly.
Passing by Daoist Taixu, Ji Yebai fixed his gaze on Bai Zhu.
Clack!
With just one step,
He passed through the crowd and appeared in front of Bai Zhu.
