Chapter 1488 - 1489: Breakthrough by Borrowing Power

Chapter 1488: Chapter 1489: Breakthrough by Borrowing Power

Eight gigantic Flood Dragons guard the front, terrifying in their might. Each Flood Dragon exudes an incredibly fearsome demonic aura, and their dense defenses are challenging for the people to breach.

Seeing this, many people swallowed nervously.

A single Flood Dragon might be manageable, but eight really pose an impassable obstacle, akin to a dead end.

"Welcome to the second checkpoint!" A voice emanates from a Flood Dragon’s mouth, its lantern-like eyes gleaming with a bloodthirsty intent, causing many to look grim.

"Rules!" Xiao Tianyu fixed his eyes on the Flood Dragon. Since this is a checkpoint, there must be conditions to pass. It’s unlikely that everyone will perish here.

"Passing is simple!" The Flood Dragon grinned menacingly and said, "Each person must withstand an attack from us eight Demon Venerables, but you can only defend and not retaliate. This is the condition for passing. Anyone who dares to violate the rules will be slain without mercy!"

Whoosh~

Upon hearing this, many inhaled sharply. Just defending, without striking back, can anyone pass?

It clearly seems like a path leading to death.

Suddenly, many faces turned pale and grim. The conditions for passing were too cruel.

Many eyes turned towards the eight Flood Dragons. Even though their combat strength might not match a Divine Separation Sixth Layer expert, it’s not far off; who could withstand their combined strike?

This is a dead end.

"Brother Xiao, Brother Li, Sister Qingluan, you three might have a chance to pass. Don’t mind us!" Ye Lingshuang’s beautiful eyes flashed. He and Ye Zhan, with similar talent, and still at Divine Separation Second Layer, were doomed to die.

"Since you call me Brother Xiao, I naturally won’t abandon you!" Xuanyuan Hao spoke up.

"Indeed!" Li Fei nodded, defense was his forte. Then, his sturdy figure stepped forward, looking at the eight Flood Dragons, saying, "I have two friends; their passing conditions will be added to mine. I’ll bear it for them, is that permissible?"

Li Fei’s booming voice left many speechless; this guy seemed reckless with his life.

If he bore what the other two experienced, Li Fei would have to endure twenty-four attacks without countering. Iron-willed or not, it’s a likely death sentence.

"No!" The Flood Dragon shook its head, "The rules are set and cannot be altered. Everyone must withstand a strike from each of us eight Demon Venerables, otherwise, it’s a violation, and merciless death follows!"

This statement made Li Fei’s eyes radiate coldness.

"Don’t look at me like that, Demon Venerable remembers you!" A Flood Dragon snorted coldly, "When you pass, I’ll ensure your death is miserable!"

Force varies in intensity; it’s evident that when Li Fei passes, they’ll exert full strength to ensure his demise.

This remark stirred fear within many; clearly, offending these eight Flood Dragons is a sure path to death. After all, they guard this place; they are the rule, everything follows their whim.

If the flattery is good enough, they might just lightly tap with a finger.

The people’s thoughts were right; though each must endure their individual strike, the force of the attack is at their discretion.

Just as Li Fei offended the eight Flood Dragons, should he pass, he’d surely endure their full-force strike.

Would he survive full force?

At this moment, Xiao Tianyu frowned slightly, his gaze releasing a chill.

"I’ll see whether you can kill me!" Li Fei roared, stepping forward, dark powers swirling, his Dark Gold Armor emanating surging magical light, akin to a Demon King by birth.

"Seeking death, I’ll grant you!" The first Flood Dragon raised its Giant Axe, slashing at Li Fei. Suddenly, Li Fei felt as if a mountain descended from the sky, overwhelming with demon power.

"Humph!" Li Fei snorted coldly, his demon power intensifying, his Dark Gold Armor radiating boundless magical force, making even his physique more robust.

Boom~

A thunderous sound, the Giant Axe fell on Li Fei, and suddenly, dark gold demon patterns flowed over him. Though cracks formed on the Demon Pattern Armor, he endured.

Even if the Axe lacked an edge, a single strike could split the heavens and earth, yet he bore it.

At this moment, the Flood Dragon that slashed Li Fei hesitated.

Dong~

Li Fei stomped forward, reaching the second Flood Dragon, a canopy above replenished with Mo Yun, the armor still blazing with dazzling dark gold light. The cracks formed by the prior axe strike were instantly repaired by Li Fei.

Moreover, his aura seemed to grow stronger, more fearsome.

Xiao Tianyu was also momentarily stunned; was this guy using the power of the eight Flood Dragons to temper his physique?

Li Fei was originally a person with exceptionally terrifying defense, even having displayed Divine Guardian despite a regression in cultivation to Divine Separation Second Layer, his defense remained incredibly formidable.

"Your turn!" Li Fei roared, shaking the earth.

"Unexpectedly, you possess such defense, but you offended our demonic visage; you must die!" The second Demon Dragon roared furiously, its Giant Axe slashing downward towards Li Fei.

This strike was even more terrifying than the previous one, but Li Fei’s deep eyes gleamed with magical light and remained as steadfast as ever. In the void, demon might soared.

Crack~

A thunderous sound emerged as the Giant Axe fell on Li Fei, quickly causing his armor to fracture, blood already starting to seep from the corners of his mouth, yet he still took a step forward, reaching beneath the third Flood Dragon, meeting its gaze, a provocative glint within.

"Endured again?" Many people’s pupils slightly contracted, amazed at the unbelievable defense.

At this moment, even the talents from the Peng Family, Celestial Killer Alliance, and Heaven Concealing Sect were slightly dumbfounded.

Furthermore, after enduring strikes from two Demon Dragons, Li Fei’s aura rose another notch.

Was this guy trying to break through using borrowed power? Xiao Tianyu pondered internally. Li Fei was once at Divine Separation Third Layer; although his cultivation regressed, he was well-versed at that level, and a breakthrough was inevitable sooner or later.

"Come on!" Now, Li Fei roared, demon patterns flowing over his Dark Gold Armor as the third Flood Dragon struck him with its axe. Instantly, a thunderous boom reverberated, the armor cracked, but quickly repaired itself.

His aura surged once more.

He then took a fourth step, reaching beneath the fourth Flood Dragon, coldly saying, "Will I die miserably?"

Earlier, this Flood Dragon claimed Li Fei would die miserably, but Li Fei’s robust demon physique stood beneath it, asking, "Will I die miserably?"

The words contained a strong flavor of defiance.

Roar~

The Flood Dragon roared suddenly, raising its Giant Axe, a colossal storm of destruction forming, with demon might surging through the void. Under everyone’s gaze, the axe slashed down, directly striking Li Fei.

Of course, these Flood Dragons, though resentful towards Li Fei, dared not break the rules, so they could only stand still and attack.
