BXBX NOVEL Chapter 457: 458: Crazy Upgrade
“Damn it, this monkey is so arrogant that it wants to net us all at once. Does it really think we’re as soft as clay?”
“Let’s go, old brothers, and attack it together. If we attack as one, we will surely beat it back to its original form!”
The Qi Sect elder began to roar and bellow, with powerful fluctuations of spiritual power surging around him, ready to strike at any moment.
“That’s right, this monkey is domineering and doesn’t take us seriously at all. We can’t stand for it!”
“Let’s go up and fight it. I don’t believe that just the spirit of a divine artifact can turn the sky upside down!”
“Well said, brothers go first, and I’ll follow soon after!”
“Hit it!”
The other elders nodded frequently, their strong auras sweeping through the area wave after wave. They were cheering loudly and their morale was high, but not a single one made a move forward, all of them staying in place and shouting.
This scene was very much like children bickering.
“Qi old man, go on, you’re shouting so joyfully, why aren’t you moving?”
An unsatisfied elder chastised.
“Heh, old man Gu, don’t think I don’t know what you’re up to. If I go first, you’ll just pick up the pieces afterward and even take the chance to backstab me. Your plan seems clever, but unfortunately, you’ve picked the wrong person!”
The Qi Sect elder scoffed repeatedly, refusing to make the first move.
“Pah, you’re the one inciting everyone to go first, but you don’t move an inch yourself. Aren’t you also trying to use up our strength to pick up the scraps later?”
“A bunch of old schemers!”
The group of elders was visibly frustrated, exposing each other’s shortcomings, and the scene was somewhat chaotic.
Li Xiaobai was rather speechless. Damn, these old men were such good actors. They spoke fierce words and did wicked deeds but refused to take action, just egging others on instead.
Ancestor Huorong had been trapped into a severe injury and prematurely ejected from the game because of this very tactic.
Now they wanted to repeat the trick, but no one was falling for it anymore.
The group of elders had decided that if the person next to them didn’t move, they wouldn’t move either. If the person next to them did move, they would still remain still. No matter what, staying put was the right move.
“Roar!”
Above the clouds, the Long-Armed Golden Giant Ape roared furiously, and a massive golden ape phantom appeared behind it, resonating with the majesty of its divine nature.
The Sea-Calming Divine Needle retracted its divine light and transformed into a beam of ten-thousand-foot golden light that smashed down, enveloping the entire first battlefield.
“Holy crap, this thing really is coming down!”
The smile on Li Xiaobai’s face froze. It seemed that the Sea-Calming Divine Needle, a product of the System, hadn’t realized that its host was still standing there.
Seeing the ferocity of the attack, it was obvious that it intended to kill him as well!
“Damn it all, I’m the host. Is a divine artifact produced by the System really so careless?”
Li Xiaobai cursed inwardly, realizing that human plans are no match for the heavens. He originally thought that the Sea-Calming Divine Needle would target the group of elders. Who could have anticipated this turn of events?
However, it was precisely this kind of rampant behavior that matched the positioning of the Sea-Calming Divine Needle as a divine artifact. It aimed to kill all, considering all beings of the world as enemies. If it focused on eradicating a specific existence, its vision and stature would be reduced.
“Roar!”
Liuren’s face flashed with anger, and a few sparse hairs began to emerge on her delicate face.
His whole body also burst forth with a breathtaking aura, which stood against the savage aura pressing down from the void.
With a wave of his hand, the Sea-Calming Divine Needle appeared in his grasp, and with a flicker of his figure, he charged violently towards that sky-obscuring golden cudgel.
“Kill!”
Liuren let out a long howl, as the golden light shone brilliantly, turning him into a small golden sun that seemed to scorch the heavens.
At the same time, the Long-Armed Divine Ape’s Shatter the Skies was activated, the Sea-Calming Divine Needle trembled, and a terrifying aura spread out, violently colliding with the small golden sun.
The ferocious aura exploded, scattering a strong sense of crisis all around.
The golden giant ape, overpowering with brute strength, disregarded all and stabbed the giant cudgel downwards fiercely, the intense sunlight radiated from Liuren’s body unable to melt it even slightly, as his fists transformed into rounds of colossal suns, madly hammering at the giant golden cudgel.
The overbearing aura rampaged unrestrained, the auras exploded, and waves upon waves of aftereffects surged towards the cultivators present at the scene.
Li Xiaobai felt it was not easy to remain relaxed as his Attribute Points on the System panel soared.
[Attribute Points +50000…]
[Attribute Points +60000…]
[Attribute Points +70000…]
In this round of the exchange, Liuren was more serious than before, and Li Xiaobai clearly saw that his body had grown a lot of golden hairs, with his entire person gradually transforming into an ape.
The strength he burst forth with was also terrifying, with just the explosive aftershocks surpassing the damage that the initial Sea Clan’s stomach acid caused, which was truly astonishing.
However, the benefits he could obtain were also tremendous. In just a few short breaths, he had already increased by several hundred thousand Attribute Points. The exchange between such powerhouses was indeed terrifying.
“Fuck, young friend, you’re about to be obliterated by their fight!”
The old beggar shouted in alarm, his face full of shock as he looked at Li Xiaobai.
Li Xiaobai was somewhat astonished, indeed feeling a bit of itching on his back. He turned his head to look and saw that his back had been grazed by the aftermath of the crossed hands, and at that moment, his skin was crisscrossed with bloody cuts, a mess of blood and flesh.
“Li Xiaobai, I have an All-Law Returning Elixir on me, it can heal your wounds, quickly take it!”
Sky Blade Song Que was somewhat anxious. They were in a suppressed state, unable to move, and the injuries on Li Xiaobai’s body were not to be trifled with; even his flesh was worn away.
Right below the battlefield in the sky, with waves of powerful auras sweeping down, even the exposed bones were riddled with cracks. If this continued, he feared his entire body would shatter to pieces.
The Vice Leader of the Eastern Sea had unleashed such terrifying might!
But Li Xiaobai just chuckled, flicked his wrist, took out a bottle of Heavenly Fragrance Life-extending Pills, and swallowed them all in two gulps. His wounds rapidly healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
“It’s nothing, just a minor external injury. A few elixirs will fix it.”
The old beggar was dumbfounded. He had just seen Li Xiaobai’s whole body split open, with the intestines inside his belly clearly visible. If it was a moment later, the whole person was absolutely going to turn into a pile of flesh and blood.
How could it be that he was healed in the blink of an eye?
“Kid, what kind of pills are you holding?”
“Wouldn’t it be better to save such elixirs for life-threatening moments? Why waste them here!”
The old beggar’s breathing was somewhat heavy. Clearly, he could have moved back a few steps to avoid the unleashing aura of the battlefield, but instead, he stubbornly stood his ground, taking elixirs in such a manner, which was simply a waste!
“Er… Senior, don’t you see that this is a fatal wound on me right now?”
“The usage of the elixirs was correct.”
Li Xiaobai continued cheerfully, and without moving a step, more cracks appeared on his body.
He took another bottle of elixirs and swallowed it down.
