Seeing that Yan Xibei was crawling closer and closer, and the veins around his body were thicker and thicker. His face was so twisted that it did not look like a human anymore, Li Yao gritted his teeth, picked up a broken saber, and charged at Yan Xibei, shouting, "Don't be fooled, everybody. This old fart likes bluffing!"
"How can he be unharmed after taking a full-strength strike from Chief Xiong? His capability must've hit rock bottom. Let's kill him while he's down! "
Li Yao shrieked and jumped to his feet!
In the next second, he was slapped away by the hand of blood mist condensed in front of Yan Xibei as if he were a fly. After waving his hands and feet for hundreds of meters, he crashed into a rock brutally, breaking it into pieces!
Li Yao was seeing stars. He felt that every bone in his chest had been broken into at least three pieces. A mouthful of blood was stuck in his throat, and he couldn't have been more frustrated.
Li Yao, however, was beaming with a smile that indicated that his scheme had worked out. He sensed carefully and found that, as he expected, there were only two Black Spider Death Curses left!
"Seriously?"
Li Yao was dumbfounded. The muscles around his eyes were twitching crazily. He recalled carefully and realized that he had not adjusted the angle completely at the last moment. Yan Xibei's attack did not hit his heart precisely but slightly to the right.
Li Yao spat out a mouthful of saliva mixed with blood. Looking at the lightning streaking across the sky, he was of a mind to roar at the sky. But after summoning his spiritual energy for three seconds, he gritted his teeth and said, "You've seen it, haven't you? Yan Xibei is heavily wounded and feeble. His attack was too soft to be forceful at all … Pu!"
A mouthful of blood was finally spurted out. Illuminated by the lightning, his face was paler than a dead man's.
But the qi-trainers and Cultivators knew that he was not lying. After Xiong Wuji advanced into the 100th level of the Refinement Stage, he boasted the combat ability of the Core Formation Stage at least. How could Yan Xibei be unharmed when he launched his strongest attack at the cost of his entire life?
His flesh and blood could be recovered quickly. However, the combat ability that had been lost could not be recovered so easily.
Right now, Yan Xibei was at his weakest.
With every second, his strength was rapidly recovering!
"Let's go, everybody. This is your last chance! "
In the roars, the dozens of qi-trainers and Cultivators who were still able to stand up all burned their souls and staggered toward Yan Xibei!
Yan Xibei's face changed. Under the blood-red light, it was faintly glowing green. It glared at Li Yao with incomparable resentment.
He had just merged with the immature apocalyptic body when he was heavily injured. Just as Li Yao said, he would not be able to recover in a short time.
He had been planning to buy himself more time by bluffing. He did not expect that the wretched 'Sand Scorpion' would see through his plan this time!
Naturally, Yan Xibei did not care about the flies that were swarming him. Many of his blood vessels and organs had just been formed. It was not suitable for him to make a big fuss!
"You're courting death!"
Gnashing his teeth, Yan Xibei snatched a qi-trainer casually and dragged him to his front. He slashed the new mantis limb brutally and beheaded the qi-trainer immediately!
He had no time to think about his plan anymore. He was simply venting his anger by killing!
However, the miserable death of a qi-trainer only made the remaining qi-trainers more determined to fight. He charged forward, facing death with equanimity!
Li Yao gritted his teeth and sprinted again. His computational ability soared as he calculated the trajectory and strength of Yan Xibei's attack precisely. He adjusted himself to the most appropriate angle.
When he slashed his saber at Yan Xibei's insect body brutally, his heart was scratched brutally by the bloody claw of the void, too!
The attack almost pierced through his heart.
The penultimate Black Spider Death Curse that had been lurking in his heart for a long time … It vanished into thin air after a feeble scream!
"It works!"
Li Yao was overjoyed. He vomited blood and laughed while he guided his spiritual energy to repair his damaged heart and calculated the second chance accurately.
"Now is the time!"
When Yan Xibei grabbed a qi-trainer in each of his hands and exposed his chest, Li Yao blinked and charged at Yan Xibei's face directly!
As he expected, Yan Xibei had prepared a thorough defense for his chest. The bloodstained spider threads interweaved into the sharpest defense net. A cluster of blood bullets rushed out and hit Li Yao's chest crazily!
In the meantime, deep inside Li Yao's heart, a cluster of spiritual energy had been accumulating for a long time and was spurting out of his chest almost at the same time!
The high-speed collision of the two streams of spiritual energy finally obliterated the last Black Spider Death Curse that was stuck in the middle!
BOOM!
Li Yao was blown away again. This time, he happened to crash into a drum tank of the Giant Axe Tribe. Dull noises echoed from the drum tank.
LUM DUM! LUM DUM! LUM DUM!
In the darkness, Li Yao did not hear anything. He only heard his heartbeat getting clearer and louder, as if it were a war drum that was beating fast from slow to fast!
All nine Black Spider Death Curses had been obliterated. He regained the ability to liquefy his spiritual gas and advance into the Building Foundation Stage!
Li Yao grinned and burst into silent laughter in the darkness. He condensed his soul to the maximum and unleashed the spiritual gas around his body blatantly!
The range of his spiritual gas was thirty meters, forty meters, fifty meters … seventy meters, eighty meters!
"Huh?"
While Yan Xibei was distracted by the many qi-trainers, he suddenly sensed that a cluster of spiritual gas was expanding beyond his expectations.
The other qi-trainers looked at Li Yao in shock, too.
They discovered, to their surprise, that the cluster of spiritual gas did not stop expanding after it reached eighty meters. It was still expanding one meter after another!
"This is …"
Everybody gasped. A feeble flame was rekindled in the depths of their hearts that were as despairing as ashes. Hope!
Yan Xibei grinned hideously. "Xiong Wuji has reached the 100th level of the Refinement Stage, but he still kneels before me! Even if a second person advances into the 100th level of the Refinement Stage, so what? "
Despite his words, he still crawled toward Li Yao against the siege of dozens of qi-trainers.
Li Yao gritted his teeth and expanded the range of his spiritual gas without bothering about anything. Eighty-six meters, eighty-seven meters, eighty-eight meters!
Eighty-eight meters seemed to be his limit. After he reached the limit, the edge of his spiritual gas was seething, but it could not be expanded by half an inch anymore.
Yan Xibei burst into laughter. "You are only in the 88th level of the Refinement Stage!"
Li Yao took a deep breath while he was laughing. Taking a deep breath, he meditated on the hundreds of structures of the liquefied spiritual gas in his brain while he manipulated the enormous spiritual gas of the 88th level with his burning fighting will. Compress, condense, and liquefy!
For regular Cultivators, as long as they stored the spiritual gas at the peak of the Refinement Stage, which was the 14th level of the Refinement Stage, they would reach the critical threshold. They would be able to compress the spiritual gas of the 14th level into 'spiritual liquid', which would allow them to advance into the peak of the Building Foundation Stage at best.
Then, what would happen if the enormous spiritual gas of the 88th level were all compressed into spiritual liquid?
DUM! DUM DUM! DUM DUM DUM DUM DUM!
There were no drummers on the drums of the Giant Axe Tribe, but they were still drumming passionately because of Li Yao's strength.
Li Yao's body seemed to have turned into a giant swirl that absorbed all the spiritual gas around him. While revolving at a high speed, the spiritual gas was condensed into spiritual liquid.
Like a ferocious tiger, he broke through the low level, middle level, and high level of the Building Foundation Stage without any hindrance and rushed into the peak of the Building Foundation Stage with ease!
BOOM! BOOM BOOM!
Quite a few drums couldn't bear the pressure any longer and exploded after they played the loudest notes!
Li Yao's outburst was not over yet.
He sensed that after reaching the peak of the Building Foundation Stage, there was still endless spiritual gas around him at his disposal. He could continue compressing it!
He was far from reaching his limits!
"This is …"
Li Yao was both surprised and delighted. He made up his mind and continued compressing it crazily!
The spiritual gas was condensed into spiritual liquid. The spiritual liquid, under the high compression, was showing signs of solidification!
When the spiritual liquid solidified, it would become a Jin Dan. It was the Core Formation Stage!
"I need to advance into the Core Formation Stage and kill this monster!"
Li Yao's eyes were bloodshot. His skin was cracking. But what was flowing out of the wounds was not blood, but streaks of crimson brilliance mixed with spiritual energy!
He was going to risk everything and fight for his life!
For ordinary Cultivators, the Core Formation Stage was a hundred times more difficult than the Building Foundation Stage. Not only did they have to replenish countless Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures before the Core Formation Stage, they also had to be guided by secret arts and meditate deeply during the Core Formation Stage. They also had to find a unique opportunity or state of mind in order to have a slim chance of success!
In the middle of a life-and-death battle, to say a few words of courage and make a breakthrough to the Core Formation Stage was something that only happened in legends!
Today, Li Yao was going to break into the legendary level!
"Condense! Condense! All the spiritual liquid, condense for me! "
As more and more spiritual liquid flowed into his body, the vortex in the depths of his abdomen gradually showed signs of condensing. His entire spine felt numb and itchy, and a chilly feeling rushed to the top and bottom of his spine like a tide!
However …
Li Yao's eyes suddenly widened. His eyes were filled with bloody mist and he couldn't move.
He was not ready for the Core Formation Stage after all.
Maybe the immense spiritual gas of the 88th level of the Refinement Stage was far more than what was required for the Core Formation Stage, but his brain had not reached the stage where he could completely control the spiritual gas and condense them into liquids before condensing them into solid drops and melding them together in the most perfect way!
His current state was somewhat like a 'dinosaur' among the Cultivators. He boasted enormous strength, but his brain was too small for him to make use of the strength reasonably!
"Damn it. I'm going to be mentally deranged!"
Li Yao grunted. His computational ability was beyond his limits. Countless cerebral vessels exploded, and his brain went blank. He completely lost control of the spiritual energy in his abdomen.
Dominated by the inertia of the rotation, countless spiritual liquids were still flowing into his abdomen and condensing. But the structure was deformed and the shape was hideous. It did not look like Jin Dan but more like a lump, a lump of spiritual energy that was beyond Li Yao's control and could explode at any moment!
Nobody in the outside world knew anything about it.
They only felt that Li Yao's aura was rising to a level that they could not understand at all while he was lurking inside the tank!
Everything that happened to Li Yao was too bizarre. Even Yan Xibei, although he had learned a thing or two about the Building Foundation Stage, Core Formation Stage, and Yuanying after joining the Temple of Immortals, did not know what was going on with Li Yao's weird state at all.
He only vaguely sensed that 'Sand Scorpion' was about to enter the Core Formation Stage!
Yan Xibei was soaked in cold sweat. Ignoring the fact that his wounds were not fully healed, he roared and tore his wounds apart, forcing out clusters of bloody mist that formed dozens of bloody claws and blew away the qi-trainers around him.
Then, he turned into a streak of redness and dashed at the tank!
"You want to form the core? Not so fast! "
Yan Xibei grinned hideously. The scorpion tail that had just been regenerated, which contained all the strength of the apocalyptic body, pierced toward Li Yao's abdomen that was almost swollen! —
