Chapter 80: Whole World
“Dragon-Blooded, you, do you crave power?”
A tempting voice sounded in his ear.
“Dragon-Blooded?” Li Yi felt a chill run down his spine, goosebumps continuously rising.
This voice was sinister, cold, and clearly possessed mature intelligence, not a newborn will.
Unconsciously, he lowered his head. Beneath his feet, that cold will was completely different from what was beneath the previous three skeletal remains!
This thing was definitely not the giant beast “Abundance and Void”!
“Evil spirits, begone!” Shouting weakly with a guilty heart, Li Yi quickly restrained his movements, cutting off the connection with that will.
His body trembled slightly, shaking all over, still feeling a lingering fear.
Even after the resonance was severed, a faint echo remained. A soft laugh lingered in his ear for a long time before fading away.
“You want the Six Strategies Qi very much, don’t you? No need to go through such trouble, I’ll give it to you…”
Before he could collect his thoughts, Li Yi sensed something and looked up at the sky. His expression changed drastically, his face contorting.
“This is… my heavens!”
In the sky, the remaining three pillars of qi — Civil Strategy, Tiger Strategy, and Canine Strategy — as if attracted by a magnet, rushed wildly and rapidly toward him.
Without exception, their direction was himself!
Among them, the Civil Strategy Qi was the closest. In just a blink, it had already entered the skeletal remains of Abundance and Void.
Li Yi turned around, following the qi with his gaze. A pale blue dragon-lizard, running like the wind, pounced towards him in a flash of lightning!
“Stay away from me!” Li Yi roared angrily. Three sharp snaps sounded in succession as he unleashed them without hesitation. “Go, die!”
Mid-air, the pale blue dragon-lizard shattered from within, but its momentum did not stop. It turned into smoky vapor, clinging stubbornly.
“Scram!” Li Yi’s figure flickered, his Thousandfold Strategy operating miraculously, yet he still couldn’t evade the vapor, which seeped into his skin.
In an instant, light erupted around Li Yi. A seven-colored light pillar rose from the ground, connecting heaven and earth!
“I fuck your grandmother!”
Li Yi’s roar echoed for a long time in the cavern.
…
This Civil Strategy Qi had a vast, majestic aura and already possessed spirit. It transformed into a smaller version of “Abundance and Void,” crouching on Li Yi’s shoulder, claws bared and lightning swirling!
The few strands of qi he had stolen earlier were like fireflies compared to a bright moon next to this one — they could not be mentioned in the same breath.
For some unknown reason, this Civil Strategy Qi still did not fuse with his Mana, but instead gradually merged into his bloodline.
Deep within his body, a Taotie feast had already begun. Every cell was swallowing and drinking greedily, overjoyed!
The newly born Bloodline Rune sprouted countless tendrils, using all its might to desperately absorb the Civil Strategy Qi, growing rapidly.
“You all are having fun…”
Li Yi felt no joy at all. His brow was gloomy, his expression serious.
Refining the Six Strategies Qi required a full day.
If he died, no matter how much he had absorbed, it would all be expelled and return to heaven and earth.
Could he last a day?
No, that was wrong. Not just one day, but a full three days!
“I’m dead.” After a long moment, Li Yi judged honestly.
“Li Yi, have you gone mad? Even if you seized the Civil Strategy Qi, so what? Can you hold onto it?”
The person hadn’t arrived yet, but the voice came first. Yuyi’s angry voice sounded not far away.
Seeing that light pillar spread, the first emotion that welled up in her heart was sheer fury!
One must know, beneath the “Connecting Bracelet,” the two of them were already a community of shared fate, inseparable.
If Li Yi died, she couldn’t escape either.
At this moment, Yuyi regretted it so much her guts felt green, but it was too late.
“I didn’t choose it. It chose me.” Li Yi was covered in metaphorical bumps, saying irritably.
“Oh? The Six Strategies Qi can actively choose a master?” Yuyi didn’t know this was the honest truth, thinking it was an excuse, she said mockingly, “It seems you are no ordinary person… Divine Favored One? Heaven’s Chosen? Or one of the Six True Bodies?”
Unable to take action, she could only curse a storm to vent her dissatisfaction.
“It’s coming!” Too lazy to argue, Li Yi pointed at the sky and said calmly.
“What’s coming?” Yuyi turned her head, following the direction of Li Yi’s finger, and her expression changed. “Huh? What’s that? In the Dragon’s Burial Ground, there are still magical beasts? Is it a magical pet?”
As she spoke, a dark red dragon-eagle swooped down, exploding in front of Li Yi and transforming into crimson mist.
Amidst the blinding flames, a smaller version of “Martial Vanguard,” wrapped in endless fire, landed on Li Yi’s other shoulder.
This was the Canine Strategy Qi.
As the qi coiled around him, the seven-colored light pillar outside Li Yi’s body violently shook, expanding to twice its size!
“What… what exactly is this?” Yuyi was speechless with shock, even the longbow in her hand felt a bit hard to hold.
“I told you, it… chose me…” Li Yi shrugged.
As if to prove his words, another brown pterosaur plummeted down.
This time, it was the Tiger Strategy Qi.
A smaller “Leixu” clung to his back, making the surrounding gravity heavy and oppressive.
Three strands of qi surged and roiled around his body, and the seven-colored light pillar had already connected into a mountain-like formation, like a peacock spreading its tail, covering heaven and earth!
“The remaining three strands of Six Strategies Qi are all with you?” Yuyi covered her chest. She suddenly felt her brain wasn’t working well enough.
Li Yi nodded. His mind was clear as a mirror: right now, four large words were hanging above his head—”Aim at Me.”
…
The human head pyramid had gained over twenty more heads, now totaling eighty.
Yazi stood holding his sword, filled with murderous intent, yet seeming to carry a hint of leisurely ease.
Those who came earlier arrived alone and were easily slain. The people who came later finally learned and began arriving in groups of three or five.
Currently, over ten people had gathered, eyes greedy, but no one was willing to make the first move.
They had all personally witnessed Yazi’s sword draw and slash that seemed to sever heaven and earth, that horrifying scene, and they all knew they couldn’t block that blade.
Perhaps the first person would die, and the second could take advantage to strike, but who wanted to be the first?
More importantly, that human head pyramid truly emitted a certain baleful aura, making everyone somewhat lacking in courage.
“What, keep stalling and I’ll have refined all the Six Strategies Qi…” Yazi actively provoked, sneering coldly.
At that moment, a light pillar shot into the sky.
“Someone else has obtained the Six Strategies Qi!”
Some were tempted, but only a very few. That aura was too far away. Since it was also Six Strategies Qi, the one before their eyes was more tangible.
Buzz!
A few breaths later, amidst the clamor echoing between heaven and earth, the seven-colored light pillar expanded to twice its size!
“One person obtained two strands of Six Strategies Qi?”
Someone sensed a clue. The exclamation of disbelief stirred countless shocked gazes.
More attention focused intently on the light pillar.
Before they could react, the light pillar actually expanded again, like a peacock spreading its tail, covering heaven and earth!
“Three strands?”
“It’s three!”
First came shock and disbelief, then those pairs of eyes turned into hungry, forest-bright red!
Three, a full three strands of Six Strategies Qi!
“Grab it, I want to grab it!”
No one spared another glance at Yazi. No one knew who took the lead, but the others woke as if from a dream, pouncing toward the light pillar like a pack of wolves.
This scene played out one after another across the entire Dragon’s Burial Ground.
Viewed from high above, from all directions, streams of people surged forth, bustling and crowded, giving a feeling of a zombie siege.
Three strands of Six Strategies Qi!
No one was a fool. Who couldn’t do such simple math?
Facing empty space, Yazi was first astonished. Hesitating for a moment, a faint trace of jealousy and resentment actually appeared in his eyes.
He paced back and forth a few steps, then suddenly snorted lightly. “Three strands of Six Strategies Qi? I’d like to see what kind of Heaven’s Pride talented individual you are… Your refinement needs three days? Hope you can survive the first day. Wait till I finish refining, then we’ll play.”
However, with the whole world as an enemy, surviving one day?
Yazi also knew that possibility wasn’t very high.
Within another light pillar, Dragon Whale’s expression was also ugly. After some thought, he shook his head. “Leaving the rain Domain, my strength drops sharply; it’s a bit dangerous… Moreover, I specialize in water. What use are the other strands of Six Strategies Qi? I’d better peacefully be my Rain God!”
At the third light pillar, the fox-masked woman let out a long sigh of relief, saying nothing.
She had not the slightest desire to compete.
“Stop talking nonsense, quickly remove the Connecting Bracelet!” Yuyi angrily shouted. Just thinking of the upcoming scene made her shiver all over. “I won’t accompany you to your death!”
“Do you think I would remove it at this time?” Li Yi shook his head. Having finally got someone to share the burden, how could he let go?
“You… you’re shameless!” Yuyi was so angry she almost went mad.
“Other than being shameless, do I have any other way?” Li Yi smiled bitterly.
