Chapter 561: Bait!

The Sui Xing Battlefield, which had been shaking for an entire month, finally regained its calm. The terrifying energy capable of destroying one star system after another dissipated, and Li Xuanfeng's aura fell back to the Mid-Stage Saint King Realm.

"That was truly difficult!"

Li Xuanfeng let out a long breath.

This was the longest battle he had ever fought, lasting a full month. He had to use every trick in his arsenal to finally and completely obliterate the Star Illusion Heavenly God.

"If I encountered a member of the Twin Race with such strength, I'm afraid I wouldn't be their match!"

Li Xuanfeng thought to himself.

If the Star Illusion Heavenly God were from the Twin Race, the coordination between two bodies would have reached an incredibly terrifying level of power.

Furthermore, even if only one body fought Li Xuanfeng, after he spent a month destroying it, the opponent could immediately resurrect using their Innate Divine Ability.

Looking at it this way, the Twin Race's Innate Divine Ability was even more impressive to Li Xuanfeng. He hadn't felt it deeply before only because the gap in strength was too vast, allowing him to absolutely crush the Shui Zhui Celestial God and Huo Yan Celestial God without feeling any difficulty.

The main reason he could destroy the Huo Yan Celestial God's two bodies simultaneously despite them being far apart was due to the absolute difference in their Souls.

But the Star Illusion Heavenly God was different; her Innate Divine Ability was closely linked to the Dao of the Soul. Although Li Xuanfeng possessed the Great Dream Reincarnation Art and could easily break through her Illusion Realm, he was still unable to crush her as easily as he had crushed the Huo Yan Celestial God.

That was why this battle had lasted for a month.

If he hadn't mastered Chaos Power, it might have been impossible to completely grind away the Star Illusion Heavenly God's life force.

"It seems my strength is still insufficient; I need to improve as quickly as possible!"

Li Xuanfeng thought.

Now that his Realm had reverted to Mid-Stage Saint King, if he encountered another top-tier Upper God like the Star Illusion Heavenly God, he would certainly not be a match.

Moreover, the existence of the Twin Race made Li Xuanfeng feel that the foreign races must have even stronger Upper Gods. Although his current strength could rival an ordinary Late-Stage Great Saint, there was likely still a considerable gap compared to the absolute top individuals of that Realm.

Even the Hundred Flowers Great Sage, the number one Great Saint of the Eastern Profound Domain—if he didn't break through to Late-Stage Saint King, he wouldn't be able to surpass her.

Whoosh!

Li Xuanfeng transformed into a streak of light and landed beside Lian Yuezhou.

The Sui Xing Battlefield was composed of thousands of planets. After such a massive battle, all the planets remained intact, showing just how powerful the Formation inscriptions carved upon them were. In normal outer space, these planets would have been blasted into nothingness long ago.

"Well done. Now Master can break through with peace of mind!"

Lian Yuezhou gave a satisfied look and stood on her tiptoes to pat Li Xuanfeng's shoulder.

"It's all thanks to the fact that Master didn't resist earlier."

Li Xuanfeng said with a smile via voice transmission.

"You brat, you don't know your own strength. You almost sucked Master dry until I collapsed from exhaustion!"

Lian Yuezhou shot her Disciple a sidelong glance.

This secondary body of hers ranked third from the bottom among her eight bodies, with a cultivation of only Late-Stage Saint. If she hadn't relied primarily on the Hundred Flowers Great Sage, she never could have filled Li Xuanfeng's bottomless pit.

"I call that borrowing power. Why must you say 'suck'? If others heard that, who knows what kind of wild thoughts they'd have!"

Li Xuanfeng transmitted.

"Absorbing someone else's cultivation power is nothing rare. Anyone who has wild thoughts only proves that their own mind is indecent!"

Lian Yuezhou said.

"Oh~ then Master, do you think you are decent?"

Li Xuanfeng asked.

"Master is the dignified and solemn Palace Master of the Great Thousand Palace, a Supreme Expert feared and respected by countless Cultivators. Do you even need to ask such a question?"

"I don't think so!"

"Aside from you, my Rebellious Disciple, everyone else is very serious in my presence!"

"Blame me?"

"Who else?"

"The first time I met you, I felt you weren't a decent Master!"

"…"

"Master, are you hiding a lot of strange storybooks?"

"How did you kno— How could you have such wild thoughts!"

…"I truly never expected such a startling Prodigy to exist in this world. This has certainly opened my eyes!"

The Hundred Flowers Great Sage flew over from a distant planet as a streak of light, interrupting the Master and Disciple's pleasant private transmission. Behind her trailed a tail of light filled with blooming flowers, like a comet streaking across the void, shimmering with crystalline light that lingered for a long time.

Dressed in a gown of a hundred flowers, the Hundred Flowers Great Sage landed gracefully nearby. Her eyes, clear as autumn water, were full of curiosity and amazement as she looked at Li Xuanfeng.

Lian Yuezhou had mentioned Li Xuanfeng to her before, and she knew he was an extremely exaggerated Prodigy. However, she didn't have a clear concept of exactly how exaggerated he was until she witnessed the entire battle. Only then did she understand why even a Supreme Expert like Lian Yuezhou couldn't help but sigh with emotion when mentioning him.

The Star Illusion Heavenly God's strength was even a notch higher than that of the Hundred Flowers Great Sage. Yet, such a being had ultimately fallen at the hands of a Mid-Stage Saint King Cultivator. If this feat were to spread, it would be enough to shock the entire Canglan Realm and the foreign races simultaneously.

"It was all thanks to Senior Hundred Flowers lending me her power!"

Li Xuanfeng smiled and cupped his hands.

"Eliminating the foreign races is our duty. Any other Saint King in the Canglan Realm would have been unable to withstand my power. True Disciple Li's world-shaking talent is truly the greatest I have ever seen in my life!"

"If I were the one to borrow the power of True Disciple Li and the Palace Master, there would be absolutely no possibility of defeating the Star Illusion Heavenly God!"

The Hundred Flowers Great Sage praised him without reservation.

She could no longer question Li Xuanfeng's strength. Previously, she had thought he could break through the illusions because the Star Illusion Heavenly God hadn't used her full power, combined with the fact that Li Xuanfeng had the fire phoenix azure dragon armor, a quasi-emperor weapon, to protect him.

The facts proved otherwise. Li Xuanfeng's strength mainly came from the various powers he had cultivated and mastered, especially Chaos Power.

"Senior overpraises me."

Li Xuanfeng smiled.

The Hundred Flowers Great Sage wore a vivid gown of a hundred flowers, her silky black hair tied up with an elegant plum blossom hairpin. She looked as if she were surrounded by countless fresh flowers, possessing a natural, stunning beauty. Although she maintained a certain distance from Li Xuanfeng, her presence made him feel as if he were in a warm spring garden, filled with the scent of blooming flowers and rich fragrance.

Li Xuanfeng could no longer tell if it was the scent of flowers or her body fragrance, or perhaps the Hundred Flowers Great Sage's body fragrance simply was the scent of flowers.

"Although the Star Illusion Heavenly God has fallen, it doesn't mean this place has become safe."

"Next, I must trouble Elder Hundred Flowers to recover as quickly as possible to deal with any emergencies."

Lian Yuezhou's voice rang out, interrupting the thoughts in Li Xuanfeng's mind.

"Palace Master, are you sure you want to break through in this place?"

The Hundred Flowers Great Sage looked toward Lian Yuezhou.

"The Sui Xing Battlefield is the most special among the 'Earth-Grade' Void Battlefields. It is the center of other 'Earth-Grade' Void Battlefields and serves as the command hub for the surrounding Formation foundation stones. The foreign races will certainly not give it up easily."

"Furthermore, the intelligence of my appearance here has surely been transmitted by the Bee Ant Race long ago. It's possible that a Quasi-God King of the foreign races could descend at any moment."

Lian Yuezhou said.

"The Palace Master wants to use herself as bait?"

The Hundred Flowers Great Sage said.

Lian Yuezhou nodded.

The intelligence that a secondary body of one of the Canglan Realm's Supreme Experts and the Domain Lord of the Eastern Profound Domain had appeared in a certain Void Battlefield would generally be shared immediately by the Bee Ant Race using their Innate Divine Ability. Any foreign race member with sufficient strength and availability would flock to this battlefield upon hearing it.

Killing one of Lian Yuezhou's secondary bodies at the Saint Realm was more worthwhile than killing a top-tier Great Saint of the Canglan Realm.
