High in the sky.
Isabella felt goosebumps rise on her skin, her expression grave as she stared intently at the White-robed Youth who was walking through the air.
The ease she had shown moments before was completely gone from her serene face; the other party now possessed the qualifications to stand on equal footing with her.
Ye Li has been promoted to Martial Dao Grandmaster!
This was something that couldn't even happen in mythology, but it was actually happening right before her eyes.
The White-robed Youth possessed boundless Blood Vitality and vitality, his life essence having undergone a genuine qualitative leap, and he had taken the initial steps into the realm of demigods!
For many years, with the nations of the four seas eyeing it covetously, the prodigies of Huaxia have struggled to grow. Yet, under these circumstances, another top-tier combat power capable of influencing the global landscape has emerged from Huaxia.
The Federation's army was deathly silent, and the two men from the Golden Moon Country were beginning to suffer mental breakdowns. The scene was too shocking; no one could remain calm.
It is foreseeable that once this news spreads from this place, it will cause a shock and uproar in countries around the world!
How did you do that?
Isabella's voice was hoarse, her fair hands gripped the mighty Holy Sword tightly, and her breathing was disordered.
Feeling the overwhelming aura emanating from the young man in front of her, she even had the illusion that his strength was above hers.
Of course, she had no intention of backing down.
As the Knight King of the Federation Temple, if she were to retreat here, she would surely chill the hearts of countless Federation warriors.
Isabella just couldn't quite understand it.
The creation of Seventh Tier martial artist's Golden Body usually requires an extremely long process, ranging from several decades to over a hundred years.
How did the other party break through to the Dao Observation in such a short time?
Hiding one's strength... that doesn't make any sense at all.
Even someone as detached from worldly affairs as her knew that Huaxia contained the largest [Beast God Secret Realm] on the entire Blue Star, located at three strategic passes within the country, each requiring two or even three Martial Dao Grandmaster to guard it.
If there were extra Martial Dao Grandmaster, they would definitely choose to prioritize resolving domestic threats rather than dealing with the Federation, with whom they have no grudges.
"Answer my question."
Isabella finally calmed her breathing slightly, raised the Holy Sword, pointed it at Ye Li, and asked, "How did you do that?!"
No matter how you look at it, you can't understand the other person's behavior at this moment.
However, this unbelievable thing actually happened.
It was truly unacceptable that a Huaxia martial artist, with Blood Vitality and energy and much younger than her, had broken through to the demigod realm in the midst of battle.
However, the moment she finished speaking...
A wave of icy air surged forth from ahead, engulfing everything!
The White-robed Youth remained calm, making a hand seal with one hand. "You are not worthy to hear this."
In an instant, a colossal ice dragon spanning the mountain range swept out from behind him and suddenly attacked!
The Ice Dragon True Intent!
This martial skill, which is only at the Fifth Tier rare level, is now being used by Ye Li with a power far exceeding the limits of what it was back then!
The Ice Azure Dragon, formed from boundless cold air, streaked across the sky and rushed towards Isabella.
Without changing her expression, she suddenly raised the Holy Sword in her hand and slashed down without hesitation!
The dazzling holy light and the colossal ice dragon collided violently!
Boom!--
The next moment, countless martial artists suffered a tremendous impact. Even the two from the Golden Moon Country, who possessed cultivation, felt their eardrums vibrate violently and their Blood Vitality surge!
Thousands of Federation soldiers vomited blood and collapsed on the spot, crimson blood seeping from their ears, before slumping to the ground.
With a deafening roar, brilliant energy ripples spread through the air, causing the holy light and the ice dragon to shatter and vanish into nothingness!
Immediately afterward, before the aftershocks had even subsided...
Boom!!--
An even more powerful metallic clang suddenly rang out from the sky, and anyone could see a turbulent ripple of wind exploding in the air!
With that loud bang, a beautiful figure clad in silver armor was slammed into the ground from the air!
The Temple Knight King coughed up a mouthful of golden blood, then quickly straightened up, his eyes glaring angrily upwards.
It turned out that Ye Li had rushed out from the previous explosion and came straight in front of her. Isabella only had time to hold the Holy Sword in front of her before he punched her from the air and slammed her into the ground!
What a terrifying physical body! Isabella's hand, gripping the Holy Sword, trembled slightly.
Without a doubt, the opponent is a martial artist skilled in close combat!
Then, let's deal with him from another angle—
"Tell me!"
Isabella was clearly provoked; her blue eyes gleamed, and she raised her hands above her head once more, her beautiful features radiating authority.
"What defines a king's bearing?!"
A raging Gale Force manifested around her, and a blazing sun-like light erupted once more from the Holy Sword!
Still want to build up your strength?
Ye Li sneered, summoned the Divine Iron in his Spiritual Platform, and the three-pointed, double-edged Divine Spear suddenly appeared in his hand!
The tip of the spear emitted a pale white light, like a section of a majestic iceberg gradually revealing itself.
After his physical body reached the Golden Body level, he was finally able to begin to unleash the full potential of this divine weapon.
Ye Li gripped his spear, looking down at the woman below.
Then, he raised both hands above his head, channeling his powerful inner energy into the Divine Spear. The spear tip shone brightly, and the shaft emitted an excited metallic tremor!
At that moment, Isabella suddenly had a bad feeling.
Alarm bells rang in her mind, and all five senses flashed ominous warning lights!
He can cleave through my protective Gale Force?!
The thought flashed through Isabella's mind, and a chill ran down her spine.
The answer to this question was quickly found.
Boom!!
The next moment, Ye Li unleashed a powerful and heavy strike, a blindingly bright white light that illuminated the heavens and the earth!
Amidst the deafening roar, the protective Gale Force surrounding Isabella, which had withstood countless attacks, suddenly shattered!
The boundless sharpness struck her pure and holy face.
Isabella's expression changed drastically. She hurriedly unleashed an unfinished golden beam, which collided heavily with the incoming attack, attempting to block it.
However, in the blink of an eye, the golden holy light was blasted apart.
A surging, sharp force swept over her body, her silver armor shattered instantly, and an arm was severed at the root, spraying golden blood. Her beautiful figure was sent flying backward, rolling hundreds of feet on the ground before the force was finally dissipated.
[Seriously injuring Isabella, the highly anticipated queen of the Federation Temple, in public, Malice Points +!]
"..."
Isabella hurriedly propped herself up, staring at the severed, slender arm on the ground, a look of deep fear flashing in her eyes.
If it weren't for the unfinished [Holy Temple World-Shaking Sword] deflecting some of its sharpness, and if she hadn't dodged in time...
It wasn't just an arm that was lost!
And, most importantly--
Her wounds have not healed.
"That sharpness... can suppress the healing power of the Holy Sword?!"
Upon realizing this terrible truth, Isabella felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave, her entire body chilled to the bone.
Only now did a sense of panic, as if death were imminent, finally arise in her heart.
Even though Ye Li had just broken through in the heat of battle, she felt no fear whatsoever.
With her peak strength at the fourth level of the Dao Observation Realm, coupled with the terrifying healing power of the [Holy Sword], she believed she would never lose.
But now, that feeling has undergone a subtle change.
Isabella's breathing quickened. "..."
No, it's not just about losing!
She might die here today!
P. S.: I'm stuck on this. I've been writing all afternoon, writing and deleting chapters repeatedly, but I'm still not satisfied. I'll finish writing it later and then post it...
