In the distant sky, the void plaza that had covered the sky like black clouds had already been replaced by a wide crack. It was as if the clouds had been pushed aside to reveal the sun. However, everyone knew exactly what kind of frightening power was contained within that crack.
At this very moment, Gu Li and Old Freak Hu were standing opposite each other on the void plaza. Their eyes were filled with denseness.
Gu Li's turbid old eyes were tightly staring at Old Freak Hu before him. His eyes were almost closed as he sized up Old Freak Hu. Within the depths of his eyes was a grave expression that could not be removed …
No matter what, he had never imagined that Old Freak Hu, whose strength was slightly inferior to him a month ago, would actually become even stronger than him after a month. In terms of strength alone, Old Freak Hu had already surpassed him by an entire level!
"Tsk tsk tsk tsk, Old Freak Gu Li, how is it? Can the current me still stop the two of you?"
When Old Freak Hu saw the bewildered expression on Gu Li's face, a cold smile appeared on his withered dark yellow old face. His withered, firewood like hand played with the void in front of him as a faint aura quietly spread out. This caused the expressions of the dozens of Half Martial Emperors present to change greatly at this moment.
From their senses, although Old Freak Hu's strength was still that of an eight star Half Martial Emperor, his current aura was even more powerful than an ordinary eight star Half Martial Emperor. Even when compared to Gu Li, he was much stronger. If the two of them were to fight, it was likely that Gu Li would not be able to defeat him!
Of course, even though this was the case, there was still Chi Lin, an expert of the same level, beside Gu Li. Thus, Old Freak Hu would not dare to rashly attack.
After all, the strength of an eight star Half Martial Emperor was not something that could be easily measured. Even though his current strength was stronger than the two of them, in front of two eight star Half Martial Emperors, even he had no choice but to retreat …
"Humph, I truly did not expect that you would be able to forcefully break through to the advanced eight star Half Martial Emperor in a month's time. However, even if you forcefully break through now, it will likely be impossible for you to break through again in the future!"
A cold smile surfaced in Gu Li's eyes when he sensed the aura from Old Freak Hu's body. The expression in his eyes became even more sinister as he sneered.
After reaching the half Emperor level, the world's understanding of strength had become even more precise. After all, a half Emperor expert was far too powerful. Even the entire world had difficulty suppressing them …
The more this was the case, the more difficult it would be for a Half-martial Emperor to increase his strength. If an ordinary Half-martial Emperor wanted to increase his strength by one star, it was likely that he would need to enter seclusion for a hundred years …
Even after coming out of seclusion for a hundred years, the strength of one's body might not increase by much. This was not a lie. There were many examples of people who were unable to make a breakthrough after going into seclusion for a hundred years …
As such, one could imagine just how difficult it was to raise the strength of a Half-emperor expert!
Therefore, the necessary division of strength was quietly spread across the entire continent …
Above the Half Martial Emperor Realm, every small realm was divided into Early Stage, Middle Stage, Late Stage, and Peak Stage.
This division allowed the people of the world to have a new understanding of their own strength. At the same time, their desire for strength was ignited once again …
Four divisions. Four divisions of strength. It was as if experts of the same cultivation level were forcibly divided into three different groups.
Even though they were both eight star Half Martial Emperors, Gu Li, a mid eight star Half Martial Emperor, was still unable to contend against a late eight star Half Martial Emperor …
From this, one could understand why Gu Li felt such a grave expression in his heart after sensing Old Freak Hu's aura.
To be able to make a mid eight star Half Martial Emperor feel grave, Old Freak Hu's strength was likely at the very least an late eight star Half Martial Emperor!
Old Freak Hu merely smiled noncommittally at Gu Li's sneer. A mocking expression flashed past his eyes. Forcibly breaking through, this was something that he had never mentioned before …
The reason why he was willing to fight for Wei Yi today was because his strength had increased in the past month. With the powerful impact of the three Emperor level medicinal pellets, his strength had finally increased once again. In the end, he had broken through to the late eight star Half Martial Emperor level.
Although his strength was still not stable in a short period of time, it was more than enough to block Gu Li and Old Freak Hu …
"Haha, Gu Li, this old man believes that you should stop worrying about this old man. Heh, I'm afraid that your Alchemist Guild's new high rank alchemist has already been killed by Wei Yi's all-out attack. Haha, a bunch of arrogant hotheads. They thought that they could act without restraint just because they had some strength. They truly did not know the immensity of heaven and earth. Today's ending could be considered a wake-up call for their next life!"
Just as Gu Li was staring at Old Freak Hu with an ice-cold expression, Old Freak Hu laughed out loud. He gently stroked his beard with one hand as he looked at Gu Li with a smile on his face. It was as if he was waiting to see Gu Li's angry expression.
Hearing these words, Gu Li's expression changed once again. He had only paid attention to Old Freak Hu in front of him and had forgotten about Xiao Yan's matter. At this moment, when he turned around, the expression on his face immediately turned into one of anxiety. His gaze instantly turned and looked in the direction of Xiao Yan.
The first thing that entered his eyes was Chi Lin's figure, which was blankly standing in the air. Seeing this, Gu Li's heart was extremely shocked. If something happened to Xiao Yan and Wei Yi used all of his strength, wouldn't his Alchemist Guild have suffered a double loss today?
Not only did he lose the Alchemist Guild that he had carefully managed for a long time, he had also lost a genius alchemist with even more prospects for development. After this matter, Gu Li would likely tear Wei Yi's body into ten thousand pieces and grind his bones into dust in order to vent the hatred in his heart.
In the next instant, as Gu Li's scarlet eyes looked over, the figure of a man, who was not very sturdy, was slowly reflected in Gu Li's eyes.
He was wearing a black robe, had a tall and straight figure, and a delicate and handsome face. He was indifferent as he stood there. Within his eyes, there was indifference … and … disdain!
If that person was not Xiao Yan, who else could it be?!
Seeing this scene, Gu Li's eyes appeared to be blurry due to his old age. The scarlet color in his eyes swiftly receded like the tide. He gently shook his head and then looked over again.
In the next instant, Gu Li's eyes suddenly widened. His eyes were filled with disbelief. In his heart, he felt incomparably shocked because of the scene in front of his eyes.
After Old Freak Hu saw Gu Li's shocked expression, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. With his understanding of Gu Li, the current expression on Gu Li's face caused him to feel a bit suspicious.
When Old Freak Hu turned around to look, in merely an instant, Old Freak Hu, a late stage Eight Star Half Martial Emperor expert, had the same expression as the other Half Martial Emperors on the viewing platform. His expression immediately became marvelous.
Gu Li saw that Xiao Yan was completely fearless in the face of the enormous blade that towered over the sky. He had merely extended two fingers and firmly clamped down on the frightening enormous blade. This might was really shocking!
A one star Half Martial Emperor's all-out attack was actually so easily dealt with by Xiao Yan. If this news were to spread, it was likely that it would cause quite a big commotion in the southwest region of the continent!
Although a one star Half Martial Emperor couldn't be considered as an absolute expert in the southwest region, he was still a supreme expert that truly stood at the top of the pyramid. However, a one star Half Martial Emperor was actually unable to withstand a single blow from Xiao Yan, a three star Half Martial Emperor!
Even though Xiao Yan was a three star Ban Di and was stronger than Wei Yi in terms of strength, it was likely that even some two star Ban Di would have difficulty blocking this blade of Wei Yi's. Yet, this blade, which was filled with a mighty aura, had been broken by Xiao Yan using two fingers. This kind of technique could be considered shocking!
… …
In the sky, Xiao Yan's dragon arm slowly disappeared. An arm that was as white and smooth as a baby's skin slowly appeared under the sunlight.
His arm was casually placed behind his back and his pair of clear eyes slowly closed. It was as if he was searching for something …
At the same time, an invisible energy also repaired Xiao Yan's disappearing sleeve at the same time that Xiao Yan's arm was placed behind his back.
Suddenly, a cool breeze blew towards him, causing Xiao Yan's robes to involuntarily flutter in the wind, making a rustling sound …
Although all of this appeared to be invisible, it caused the people present to involuntarily feel a surge of hot blood from Xiao Yan's action. They couldn't help but cry out in their hearts …
Domineering!
When a man was in this world, one could suppress the universe with one hand and shake the heavens with one's strength. If one was able to accomplish any one of these, one's journey would not have been in vain. If one was able to pass through it, one's future achievements would definitely not be low!
However, today, Xiao Yan had reversed the universe technique. What seemed like a certain death situation was actually a regrettable one. Wei Yi's death today would definitely have a great effect on Xiao Yan. After all, no matter what, before Xiao Yan truly took action, Wei Yi had once again allowed him to sense a trace of the Life and Death Door's aura …
Most cultivators would only be able to display their true strength at this kind of moment, stimulating the terrifying potential hidden within their bodies. At the same time, it would also allow their overall strength to advance a step further, allowing them to reverse life and death and find a way to survive!
Although that aura was extremely faint and even Xiao Yan was nearly unable to capture it, fortunately, even though it didn't have any great effect, Xiao Yan still felt a trace of palpitation in the depths of his heart. This was already enough for Xiao Yan …
…
As he recalled the strange feeling that had already passed in the depths of his heart, Xiao Yan's heart was unusually calm. It was so much so that everything in the outside world had been forgotten. His entire person seemed to exist in another world …
After quite a while, Xiao Yan's lightly shut eyes finally slowly opened. A pair of even brighter eyes slowly swept around the surroundings, as if it was the first time he had come here …
"This …"
Xiao Yan frowned slightly. However, in the blink of an eye, he woke up. Everything in his memories instantly returned to his mind. In the end, Xiao Yan's gaze also slowly landed on the shocked Gu Li's body …
