However, faced with the might of Fang Bai’s two clusters of spiritual fire, several stewards of the Fire Python Sect needed to divert so of their spiritual energy to protect their bodies. This significantly weakened their attacks, posing little threat to Fang Bai.
Instead, it was Shi Chengjin and several elders who closed in within tens of feet from Fang Bai and launched attacks, creating so pressure on him.
Fortunately, the two clusters of spiritual fire in Fang Bai’s palm, generated by the heavens and the earth, inherently had properties to counter external attacks, resolving part of the attacking force for Fang Bai. Otherwise, Fang Bai might truly be unable to break through and would be forced to retreat back into the defense array.
"This person must be killed! We absolutely cannot let him escape!"
Shi Chengjin shouted fiercely amidst his fierce attacks.
He was convinced that Fang Bai was a genius disciple from so super sect. Since they had already offended him, it was best to destroy him completely. Otherwise, if the opponent escaped back to his sect, it would beco a major threat to the Fire Python Sect, potentially leading to their destruction.
Li Lingfeng and others all shared this concern, so they exerted their utmost effort to besiege Fang Bai, preparing to blast him to pieces.
Out of the Fire Python Sect’s thirteen high-level mbers, aside from the three stewards killed by Fang Bai and two stewards who left the sect and went missing, there were still eight remaining.
Among these eight, there were three stewards at the seventh stage of the heavenly tribulation, four elders at the eighth stage, and one sect master at the ninth stage. Just how powerful was their combined strength?
Without the assistance of the spiritual fire, and if his physical body were not so resilient, Fang Bai might have already fallen under the fierce attacks of these eight powerful figures.
Even so, Fang Bai, having charged out of the defense array for only a few dozen breaths, had not yet escaped a hundred feet before being flayed and bloodied under the frenzied attacks of the eight strong n, looking as if he were on the brink of danger.
The eight strong n of the Fire Python Sect already had satisfied and sinister smiles on their faces.
They believed that if things continued like this, Fang Bai would surely die.
Inside the defense array, the Dragon Maiden and Zhuge Lian watched Fang Bai being pursued and attacked, his body covered in wounds, feeling intense heartache and tears stread down their faces. They wished to rush out of the array to help him, but aside from Fang Bai, no one could break this defense formation. They could only helplessly watch as Fang Bai’s injuries grew more and more severe.
"Don’t worry, I won’t die!"
Just as the Dragon Maiden and Zhuge Lian were heartbroken, Fang Bai’s voice suddenly reached their ears.
"If I wanted to escape, I would have done so long ago. They can’t stop !"
Fang Bai’s voice continued in the ears of the two won: "The attacks of the eight strong n—this opportunity is hard to co by. I’m using their power to stimulate my latent potential and temper this body. Once this trial is over, my body will be even more formidable, greatly benefiting my future strength growth... Haha, you two, stop crying, you don’t look pretty when you cry!"
Fang Bai’s final teasing words finally brought ease to the two won’s hearts.
"This Fang Bai made us worry for nothing!"
"Seeing him in such a state, I thought he... No, no, no, I can’t say anything inauspicious!"
The Dragon Maiden and Zhuge Lian exchanged a glance, shook their heads with a bitter smile, but seeing Fang Bai’s injured state from afar, their hearts were still in pain, wishing they could trade places with him.
After exchanging a few hurried words with the Dragon Maiden and Zhuge Lian using the thread condensation sound transmission technique, Fang Bai, under the protection of the two clusters of spiritual fire, fled with all his might.
Shi Chengjin and the eight strong n also pursued relentlessly, continuing their frenzied assault, vowing to kill Fang Bai.
Although Fang Bai seed severely injured, those injuries weren’t enough to threaten his life.
Inside Fang Bai’s five elents space ring, a world tree grown from a broken piece of wood continuously emitted wood spirit qi after Fang Bai was injured, stimulating the life force in his injured body, keeping him clear-headed no matter how severe the injuries.
anwhile, the seven primordial spirits within Fang Bai’s qi sea released strands of chaos spirit qi, circulating rapidly within his body, repairing his injuries.
As such, while new injuries continued to be added to Fang Bai’s body, the old injuries were healing at a visibly rapid rate.
Thus, unless Fang Bai suffered attacks several tis more powerful than the current ones, stripping away his life force instantly, there was little chance of him perishing. Instead, he seed as tenacious as an indestructible cockroach.
Of course, Shi Chengjin and others were unaware of this. Seeing Fang Bai covered in wounds, already resembling a bloodied figure, they were excited, believing that a few more fierce attacks would be enough to kill Fang Bai.
This chase continued for several hundred breaths, and Fang Bai had already advanced a thousand feet away.
"Sothing’s not right! This kid seems a bit odd!"
Finally, Shi Chengjin noticed that even though Fang Bai was severely injured, his combat strength showed no sign of decreasing; instead, it seed to be strengthening, which began to alert him.
"His injuries... Why are they still so many?"
"My spiritual artifact clearly slashed his back earlier, so deep that the bone was visible. But look now, it’s nearly healed..."
"Could it be that his body has self-healing capabilities?"
"It’s said that only those with the legendary Great Luo Immortal Body have self-healing abilities!"
"A strong individual born with three or even four innate spiritual roots is known as possessing the Great Luo Immortal Body. But such an immortal body is born once in ten thousand years!"
"Could it be that this kid truly possesses the Great Luo Immortal Body?"
"If so, his flesh and blood would be invaluable treasures! Consuming them would be imnsely beneficial to cultivation!"
...
Shi Chengjin and others quickly exchanged information, seeing greed and fervor in each other’s eyes.
A cultivator born with an innate spiritual root is known as possessing an Innate Spirit Body.
A cultivator born with two innate spiritual roots is known as possessing an Extraordinary Holy Body.
Whereas the Great Luo Immortal Body is possessed by those with three to four innate spiritual roots.
However, for Shi Chengjin and others, a cultivator with a Great Luo Immortal Body only existed in legends and had never been seen firsthand.
Cultivators in the Three Thousand Great Worlds believe that those with the Great Luo Immortal Body, due to the "immortal" character, no matter how indolent in cultivation, ultimately ascend to the Immortal Realm and beco a mber of the nine Heavenly Domains in the Immortal Realm.
As for what might exist above a Great Luo Immortal Body, Shi Chengjin and others did not know.
In their eyes, a cultivator with a Great Luo Immortal Body was an extrely rare cultivation genius, their entire being a treasure. Drinking their blood, consuming their flesh would be a great boon to themselves.
"We cannot let him escape!"
Shi Chengjin and others all thought this, each holding spiritual artifacts, increasing their attacks with more ferocity.
Even though Fang Bai was confident of his escape, it was not that easy. He battled the eight strong n, continuously fleeing towards the distance.
He knew that a thousand miles away, there was a rapid river, and if he could reach it, he would have a chance to escape.
"Caw!"
Fang Bai suddenly let out a long cry, and monts later, a flock of fire-crowned eagles ca flying rapidly from the distant horizon, and fearlessly launched an attack against Shi Chengjin and the other formidable figures from the Fire Python Sect, allowing Fang Bai to fly effortlessly over a hundred miles away.
