Peerless Provincial Governor, Son of Heaven Dragon Soul

"Very big!"

Taishi Yu said, "Xie Chucai's true strength lies in his physical body. Song Lin, you are a top expert at the Sixth Heaven level of Lingxiao City. How much combat power can you exert relying solely on your physical strength?"

Song Lin said, "My Song family has abundant resources, and we haven't neglected our physical cultivation. We can easily defeat a martial artist at the Fifth Heaven Dao Seed Realm with our bare fists."

"Xie Chucai doesn't need magical energy, Daoist techniques, or magical artifacts; his body alone can withstand some weaker Seventh Heaven martial artists. He may appear to be Sixth Heaven martial artist, but calling him Seventh Heaven martial artist isn't wrong. Because the physical body can also be considered an independent path of power cultivation," Taishi Yu said.

Song Lin was shocked. "Only martial artists at the Ninth Heaven possess such a physical physique!"

Ge Xiantong walked over. "This is the bloodline of the Sacred Dark Family! Young Son of Heaven, at the same realm, cannot match his physical strength and power. Otherwise, how could he have defeated Seventh Heaven Dao Seed Realm martial artist so many times? To contend with him, I need to reach the Sixth Heaven. Only by reaching the peak of the Sixth Heaven will I have a greater chance of victory."

The Imperial Court's Longevity Realm Giants, along with the armies of the City Defense Camp, Luantai, and Qilin Platform, headed towards the Six Thoughts Zen Temple in various directions.

Some Imperial Court experts, hidden among the spectators, carrying heavy weapons, ventured towards the six Demon Mountain.

Our goal tonight is to uncover the hidden secrets of Six Thoughts Zen Temple and find the root cause of the Ghost Infant incident.

Before long, Li Weiyi and Xie Chucai had risen five or six thousand meters above the ground and reached some branches of the Earth Demon Pine. Looking down, their figures were like dust.

The city Myriad Homes' Lanterns, a riot of lights, are all visible, while the fairyland outside the city fades into the night.

Martial arts practitioners on the ground need to channel their magical power into their eyes in order to see their battles clearly.

Li Weiyi had already summoned the Staff Spear of All Things and affixed a Divine Speed Talisman to his body, unleashing beams of Golden Crow Flame to continuously attack from a distance, giving Xie Chucai no chance to get close.

Xie Chucai knew the power of Li Weiyi's Divine Speed Talisman, so he was well-prepared. His Blood Robe contained special scriptures, and when he activated them at full power, he could unleash a speed comparable to the Divine Speed Talisman.

In a life-or-death battle, there can be no underestimation of the enemy or carelessness.

Li Weiyi landed on a tree branch tens of meters in diameter, changing the direction of his Staff Spear of All Things, with the Earth Spirit Cub upwards and the spearhead downwards.

He looked at Xie Chucai, who had caught up with him. "Do you really think that my challenge at Six Thoughts Zen Temple was just to help the Imperial Court uncover your secrets?"

Xie Chucai traversed the void and appeared on a tree branch, the two of them twenty feet apart.

He said, "I know you're very cunning, but today I won't leave you any openings. Where's your Immobilization Talisman? Why don't you come out?"

Li Weiyi raised the Staff Spear of All Things above his head, and immediately the Earth Spirit Cub and the staff frantically absorbed the Yin energy of the earth contained in the Earth Demon Pine, condensing into a gray-black energy storm that gathered around him.

"So that's how it is! Your weapon can actually absorb the power of the Earth Demon Pine for its own use."

Having already exchanged blows dozens of times, Xie Chucai dared not underestimate Li Weiyi.

"Whoosh!"

The ancestral field opened, and an ancient silver knife flew out.

The blade was covered with dense, blood-red scriptures, releasing terrifying power, and blade energy filled the sky.

He swung his sword and slashed out.

The blade's edge, like a bright silver moon, illuminated the night sky, cleaving through the earth's yin energy storm unleashed by Li Weiyi.

The magical weapon in his hand was no ordinary weapon; it was called "Blood Pool Silver Sea," a blade that the Martial Path Son of Heaven had used in his youth, which had nurtured his consciousness and the spirit of the Emperor.

The swing of this blade carries an invisible power that can intimidate the soul and will of the opponent.

Li Weiyi realized the power of the silver knife; he had clearly felt a blade of light slash into his mind. Any other martial artist would probably have suffered a mental breakdown or fled in fear.

However, Li Weiyi had the protection of his mental power and the Fusang Divine Tree Spirit God to block the sword light in his mind.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

With the shifting balance between offense and defense, Xie Chucai, wielding the Blood Pool Silver Sea, was filled with soaring energy. His spirit and momentum reached their peak as he continuously changed his stance and slashed out with his sword.

Li Weiyi mobilized the Yin energy of the earth, wielding the Staff Spear of All Things to launch attacks from afar time and time again.

"He's closing the distance between us, trying to use his superior physical strength to exploit my weaknesses. I can't just sit here and wait to die."

"Fight!"

A crimson-gold flame armor appeared on Li Weiyi's body, and his internal magical energy circulated wildly.

The Dharma energy resides within, while the power of thought manifests without.

Combining internal and external approaches.

"Boom!"

Li Weiyi wielded the Staff Spear of All Things, and star trail patterns erupted from its blade, causing the earth's yin energy to surge wildly. It clashed head-on with the Blood Pool Silver Sea Xie Chucai had cleaved, causing countless blood-red scriptures to explode.

The overwhelming force of the impact hit the two of them.

Li Weiyi's blue robe, which was just Magic Tool Battle Robe, was torn to pieces in an instant.

His body flew backwards into the void, landing on slender branches and silver leaves a hundred meters away.

Extremely far from the main trunk of the Earth Demon Pine, Li Weiyi's body bobbed up and down with the cold wind in mid-air, as if he might fall to the ground thousands of meters below at any moment.

This was Li Weiyi's first time engaging in close combat with Xie Chucai, and he truly felt the immense physical strength of his opponent.

Xie Chucai's eyes were filled with disbelief. Li Weiyi mind master, had taken a direct hit from his blade, and on the surface, it seemed as if he hadn't been injured at all.

The martial arts practitioners watching from below were also stunned.

"Didn't you say that Xie Chucai could withstand Dao Seed Realm at the Seventh Heaven Realm with just his physical body? Now, with his physical body plus his magical energy, plus his magical weapons and combat weapons, it seems that he couldn't even seriously injure Li Weiyi, let alone kill him with a single strike." Song Lin felt that Taishi Yu was exaggerating too much and overestimating Xie Chucai.

Taishi Yu frowned. "Li Weiyi's weapon is very strange. It can mobilize the power of the Earth Demon Pine, and he is proficient in the Mind-Martial Combination. He uses internal martial arts and external mental arts, and has caught up with the gap in some realms."

Ge Xiantong said, "In my opinion, it's because Li Weiyi's physical strength is not weak to begin with, so he was able to withstand it."

"That's right! A normal mind master doesn't have his combat reaction speed and physical strength. Formations and talismans, the main attack methods of mind masters, become dispensable to him," Taishi Yu said.

Song Qingli stood beside County Princess Yun Chang's carriage, gazing up at the sky. "Is he wearing an official's robe from the Imperial Court?"

Inside the carriage, an aged voice rang out. "These are the three hundred Provincial Governor's Official Robe that Mist Son of Heaven of the Mist forged after he slew the flying dragon. The dragon's soul was divided into three hundred parts and sealed within the robes to guard the Three Hundred Prefectures."

After Li Weiyi's outer robe burst open, the Provincial Governor's Official Robe was revealed.

The official robe was made of a lustrous, iridescent material, and the rank badge on the chest featured a dragon and cloud pattern. The dragon was powerful and graceful, soaring through the clouds.

The belt is adorned with gemstones and jade pendants.

The long-winged official hat was taken out, put on, and straightened.

The handsome young governor stood atop a cloud-covered branch, much like some of the most brilliant martial arts champions of the time during the reign of Mist Son of Heaven a thousand years ago. Such a figure has not been seen for a thousand years.

"Smack!"

Xie Chucai swung his knife and cut the tree branch.

Li Weiyi did not fall with the tree branch; his body was enveloped in a cloud of purple mist and disappeared into space. The next instant, he appeared dozens of feet above Xie Chucai's head, wielding the Staff Spear of All Things from a distance, leaving a trail of fiery light.

"So your spatial treasure is an official robe."

After Xie Chucai shattered the light trail, he immediately released the Dao Heart Manifestation.

He knew very well that against spatial escape treasures, only the Dao Heart Manifestation and Battle Intent could restrict them; otherwise, Li Weiyi would seize the initiative in the attack.

"The Dao Heart Manifestation have spread across nine miles. Xie Chucai is only a small step away from becoming Young Son of Heaven," Yao Qingxuan, hidden among the spectators on the ground, remarked.

Normally, the inferior root of the Dao seed realm, in the external manifestation of the sixth heaven's Dao heart, is called Dali.

A person like Shi Jiuzhai, who is at the Sixth Heaven the Dao Seed Realm, can have their Dao Heart Manifestation in three miles.

Those who inherit the legacy can reach more than five miles in the Sixth Heaven, and their strength far surpasses that of martial artists of the same realm, allowing them to overcome adversity and defeat those above them.

Young Son of Heaven could typically travel ten li (approximately 5 kilometers).

The extent to which the Dao Heart Manifestation spread can reflect the difference in combat power among martial artists to some extent. However, it is not absolute, and the difference is not exaggerated to several times or even ten times.

An Xianjing said, "Given Xie Chucai's physical advantages, at this level, his combat strength won't be inferior to the Young Son of Heaven. Do you think he has a chance of winning?"

"It depends on whether his martial arts can break through to a higher realm. Once he breaks through and condenses the Dao Lotus, his martial arts techniques can unleash their full combat power. It's too difficult to break through Xie Chucai's defenses using only mental power!" Yao Qingxuan said.

Many people with exceptional insight could see that Li Weiyi was refining some kind of treasure, and the fluctuations of his martial arts within his body were out of control. That's why the Feng Mansion behind his head was constantly shining with golden light, and his magical energy was constantly vibrating.

"Boom!"

Blood Robe and official robes mingled, and Profound Ice Force clashed with Golden Crow Flame.

The Provincial Governor's Official Robe is a rare treasure. In addition to its Spatial Power, it greatly enhances both speed and defense. Even if restricted by the opponent's powerful Dao Heart Manifestation, it can still create distance and attack from afar.

Xie Chucai said, "With your fighting style, you'll never be able to break through my defenses, let alone defeat me. My cultivation is deeper than yours; by employing a delaying tactic, you'll be the one who exhausts your magical energy and mental power first."

"Alright, then you try taking one of my moves."

Li Weiyi directly activated the dragon soul within the Provincial Governor's Official Robe, and instantly, a giant dragon in the form of mist flew out. Its head, claws, scales, and tail were all very solid, exuding the aura of Ancient Son of Heaven.

Dragon Roar's roar resounded, and thunderclaps exploded in Xie Chucai's mind.

Xie Chucai's expression changed drastically. He immediately activated the silver blade in his hand with all his might, stepping on the blood pool and with a silver sea above his head to resist the Ancient Son of Heaven's aura contained in the dragon soul. Then, he strode forward and swung his blade with domineering power.

Li Weiyi stood at the dragon's head, his spear descending from the sky like a dragonfly skimming the water, pointing directly at Xie Chucai's head.

Xie Chucai sensed danger for the first time. He abandoned his attempt to fight the dragon soul head-on and used the force of the dragon claw's strike to fly away from the Earth Demon Pine in the void. In doing so, he also avoided the Golden Crow Flame Spear that was thrusting towards his head.

This can be said to be the first time since the start of the battle that Xie Chucai has been truly defeated and put at a disadvantage.

It is the power of the dragon soul within the Provincial Governor's Official Robe.

"He can actually summon such a powerful dragon soul. Just how far has he progressed in cultivating the Dragon Awakening Art?"

Among the martial arts practitioners watching the battle below, Taishi Yu believed that the Dragon Awakening Art was passed down to Li Weiyi by Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning believed that Li Weiyi was a descendant of the Taishi Family.

In any case, this life-or-death battle representing the top geniuses of Lingxiao Shengjing and Du'e Temple has far exceeded the expectations of countless people.

Who could have imagined that Li Weiyi, who was never favored, could achieve such a result with only the initial stage of Six-star Mind Master?

Even the martial artists at the Seventh Heaven of the Dao Seed Realm in Lingxiao City were no match for Xie Chucai in such a close fight.

The Third Palace Master, atop the Qilin Platform, gazed at the Earth Demon Pine, her willow-leaf eyebrows slightly furrowed.

When the dragon souls burst out of the Provincial Governor's Official Robe, she clearly sensed that Li Weiyi's Dragon Awakening Art was merely a facade and could not possibly mobilize so many dragon souls.

This feeling was subtle, but as the Saint Spirit King Mind Master, she noticed it!
