And Wen Xuexian's blade severed the entire Star River!
Where the sword intent points, all futures beco desolate, all possibilities return to void.
Without future, all struggle, hope, and fear lose their aning.
The body may not die, but the heart is already gone; this is a more thorough and terrifying 'slash' than killing!
"The Third Blade, Absolute Future!"
Wen Xuexian's voice echoed in Li Fei's heart and spirit.
First, let the past be clouded, then heavily wound the present, only then can one completely sever the future!
After these three blades, all causality concerning Li Fei in this world will be severed; to the world, he will be a person who has never existed, destined to disappear and annihilate on the spot!
This is the Taoism of the Red Dust Pavilion Master Wen Xuexian, nad similarly to her moniker—
[Red Dust Slayer]!
This is the Taoism that can sever causality, attacking the opponent directly from the level of causality.
After taking Wen Xuexian's third blade, Li Fei is becoming increasingly faint and void in the perception of the four surrounding Martial Saints.
His heart and spirit are enveloped by a grand sword intent, gradually peeling away from this world!
Yet two lines of causality still closely connect him, preventing complete loss—
The Mixed Elent Sword Heart of the past!
The Myriad Blood Pearl of the present!
Precisely because Li Fei relied on the Mixed Elent Sword Heart to endure the 'Slash of the Past,' and used the Myriad Blood Pearl to reclaim his self in the 'Slash of the Present,' he avoided being completely severed from causality when facing 'Slash of the Future.'
"Obtaining the Myriad Blood Pearl, I am undoubtedly a fortunate one. But to beco today's Li Fei is not just due to the Myriad Blood Pearl. There are all my choices, those seemingly foolish steadfastness, the Tao I've traveled, the path I've walked... With these, I can confidently stride towards the future!"
Li Fei slowly opened his eyes.
He transford from a near fully fading phantom into the most vibrant stroke on white xuan paper!
Wenren Zheng's eyes widened, Ning Qingman's face showed delight, Zuo Jun and Wang Chengze were puzzled.
Clearly, Li Fei's aura hadn't strengthened, yet his presence suddenly intensified, as if he beca the center of the entire heavens and earth!
Newly arrived in the Martial Saint Realm, Zuo Jun and Wang Chengze couldn't understand, but Wenren Zheng and Ning Qingman saw plainly that this was a deepening connection between Li Fei and the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth!
Peak strong people's power of Daoism is to absorb Heaven and Earth Qi through the Tao Foundation, then combine with 'essence, Qi, spirit' and life origin, finally inject into Taoism to form a kind of power.
Upon the breakthrough to the peak, cultivation of Tao Foundation, Divine Skills, and Martial Arts Domain reaches the limit, incapable of further strengthening.
Thus, to enhance the power of Daoism, one can only deepen the connection with the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, leaving a deeper 'imprint' on the Great Dao with one's Taoism.
This can't be done by re diligence, thus many peaks struggle for decades without making strides.
Now, Li Fei has greatly deepened his connection with the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, equivalent to a sudden leap in cultivation!
"Impressive, admirable, thank you."
Li Fei, calming his heart and spirit, saluted Wen Xuexian.
His confidence in accepting Wen Xuexian's three blades before challenging Lin Tianyi was based on his Myriad Blood Pearl's imminent upgrade, even if so loss occurred it wouldn't matter.
Unexpectedly, these three blades didn't cause any substantial harm to him, not even a single Blood Soul was lost, yet he almost lost himself!
Ultimately underestimated the heroes of the world.
Li Fei believes, even Lin Tianyi without employing Taoism likely couldn't withstand Wen Xuexian's three blades.
Even if Lin Tianyi used Taoism, given sufficient opportunity and preparation, Wen Xuexian might even severely injure Lin Tianyi!
His gratitude towards Wen Xuexian is because she intentionally allowed intervals between the three blades, granting Li Fei more grace in resolving, escaping from the sword intent.
After three blades, Li Fei thoroughly traversed his past, present, and future, deepening connection with the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, thus the reason for increased cultivation.
"You took these three blades by your skill, no need for thanks."
Wen Xuexian's tone returned to calm.
Just now Li Fei's presence was so overwhelming it overshadowed the changes on her.
At this ti, Wenren Zheng and Ning Qingman looked at her, discovering her evolution.
Evidently, after severing past left causality, the Red Dust Pavilion Master's cultivation has also grown!
"Qingman."
Wen Xuexian looked at Ning Qingman behind her, "From now on, our causality ends, the martial world road is distant, wish you well."
After speaking, she saluted Li Fei and then turned and left.
Ning Qingman looked complexly at the departing figure, finally taking a deep breath and saluting towards the back.
Only then did the martial world people hiding far away realize this battle had concluded.
Prior, Ning Qingman and True Monarch Wu Hui's battle darkened the sky, anomalies covered several miles, stirring hearts and spirits.
Everyone thought the battle between the stronger Li Fei and the Red Dust Pavilion Master would certainly be grander, more thrilling!
Unexpectedly it was all 'much ado about nothing'?
The brilliance of Wen Xuexian's three blades can only be grasped by those reaching the peak, only understood by Li Fei who personally experienced the great terror hidden within.
To outsiders, it was naturally plain and enigmatic.
"Father, next will the Duke Jing'an challenge the Heavenly Tower Master?"
The little girl who earlier queried Gong Chang in the tea shed had left with her parents, gazing afar from a hillside where Li Fei and others stood.
"Yes, next should be without further interference, right."
The girl's father patted her head, uncertainly replied.
The girl gazed up at him: "Isn't it said that to challenge that Heavenly Tower Master, one must first ascend to the highest of the Heavenly Tower. We can't even ascend Yu Mountain, how can we watch this battle?"
Her father laughed bitterly, unsure how to respond.
Indeed, they were rely here for the spectacle, having seen two rare peak battles, already fortunate; can they truly expect to witness the final great battle?
Even witnessing Li Fei and Red Dust Pavilion Master fighting firsthand, they watched bewildered, as if amidst clouds; next Li Fei's battle inside Heavenly Tower with the world's number one, perhaps not even a sound will be heard.
These people may be unaware when the fight concludes or the departure occurs, rely foolishly waiting here.
Just as this father intended to comfort his daughter a few words, Li Fei's voice resonated through the heavens for the second ti:
"Li Fei arrives at Yu Mountain, requests the Heavenly Tower Master to co out and duel!"
