Chapter 64

"Magic treasure?" Gu Fei grabbed the purple-golden octagonal mirror with one claw and was immediately startled. The finger strength that could penetrate stone and metal felt as if it had grabbed a piece of extremely hard steel. The powerful force that rebounded from the purple-golden octagonal mirror made his right hand fingers numb and tingling, and his finger bones even made a slight cracking sound.

At this moment, Li Lingfeng on the opposite side smoothed out the five faint finger marks on the purple-golden octagonal mirror, pinched the Dao seal, and cast various trigrams. The purple-golden octagonal mirror instantly emitted a massive wave of magical power, and then the eight forces of the Eight Trigrams surged forth.

Each trigram corresponded to a force: misty water vapor, raging flames, thick earth qi, mountain power... The eight forces of the Eight Trigrams transformed and intertwined, rotating and swirling, emitting a heavy and mountain-like pressure.

The spectators below were all shaken, watching Li Lingfeng's performance with great tension. The eight trigrams surged out from the purple-golden octagonal mirror, stirring up the eight forces of heaven and earth, and encircled Gu Fei in a spinning trap.

The eight trigrams enveloped a realm, and the eight incomparable forces that surged out from the trigrams intertwined and collided, making the trapped realm seem to revert to chaos, displaying a shocking power.

However, facing the trigrams that were encircling him from all directions, Gu Fei had a different experience. The surging Eight Trigram forces made him feel as if he were trapped in a chaotic energy storm, and he was now at the center of the storm's eye.

The eight trigrams stirred up the Eight Trigram forces, as if truly summoning these eight forces, instantly submerging Gu Fei. The entire arena shook violently, and if it weren't for the protective magical power on the arena, it would have shattered long ago.

The Tai Xuan Sect disciples watching around the arena were all dumbfounded, their mouths agape, unable to close them. The Eight Trigram powers displayed by Li Lingfeng had already defeated the outstanding successor of Tai Xu Peak, Qin Daoyun, with just water and fire forces yesterday. Now, with all eight trigrams activated and a magic treasure driving the Eight Trigram forces, the power was incomparably greater than yesterday's water and fire forces.

Among the young generation of the Tai Xuan Sect, only Gu Fei could force Li Lingfeng to use his full strength without holding back.

"Master Brother, it seems that your disciple Li Lingfeng has already won this match!" Long Hongxue, the head of Zizhu Peak, said with a smile to Daoist Xuantian.

"Not necessarily!" Daoist Xuantian's face showed no expression, his tone as calm as usual, making it hard for the heads of the seven pulses to read any hint from his face.

"Hmm, this purple-golden octagonal mirror... Master Brother, I don't remember our sect having such a magic treasure!" Chao Yang Zhenren, the head of Shaoyang Peak, said in surprise.

On the arena, Li Lingfeng's purple-golden octagonal mirror had already flown above Gu Fei, slowly rotating, emitting a powerful wave of magical power. The eight trigrams on it shone with dazzling light, and the Eight Trigram forces surged, completely trapping Gu Fei.

"Ha ha!" Daoist Xuantian actually smiled, then said with a hint of pride, "Indeed, our sect's treasures do not include this octagonal mirror."

"Then... does this mean that this magic treasure..."

The heads of the seven pulses all showed a look of surprise. They found it hard to believe, as the thought that came to their minds seemed too incredible.

"That octagonal mirror was refined by Li Lingfeng himself, not a legacy treasure of the sect," Daoist Xuantian said with a faint smile.

A magic treasure refined by himself? A disciple who had not yet condensed a Dao Pill in his body and had only been in the sect for ten years could actually refine a magic treasure? After receiving Daoist Xuantian's confirmation, the heads of the seven pulses were all shocked.

"Only a self-refined treasure can be used with such proficiency!" Daoist Xuantian sighed, his gaze never leaving the arena.

"Boom!" Suddenly, a loud noise came from the arena. The purple-golden octagonal mirror hanging in the sky shook violently, and the Eight Trigram forces below surged like a raging sea, as if a primordial beast were trying to break out of the trapped space.

The spectators below were immediately startled by the loud noise, their faces showing shock, and some began to retreat. The two young strongmen's confrontation made the spectators not want to suffer the collateral damage.

Zhao Zirou, mixed in the crowd, was also extremely nervous. The Eight Trigram forces emitted by the purple-golden octagonal mirror had trapped Gu Fei, making her very worried.

At this moment, Gu Fei indeed faced the most dangerous match since the Nine Pulse Examination. Trapped in the Eight Trigram forces, he dared not hold back any longer and unleashed all his strength.

The Five Elements primordial qi surged out of his body, forming a layer of colorful flames around him. A terrifying primordial qi wave surged out from his body, blocking the Eight Trigram forces coming from all directions.

The Five Elements against the Eight Trigrams, Gu Fei felt as if he were truly trapped within the eight trigrams, with a mountain-like pressure on his body, restricting his movements.

"Boom!" A golden qi-infused fist repelled the Heaven Trigram force. The Qian Trigram on the purple-golden octagonal mirror, representing the Heaven Trigram force, shook violently, its light flickering.

Li Lingfeng, who was pinching the Dao seal, also seemed to waver slightly. The purple-golden octagonal mirror was connected to his qi, and when the magic treasure was impacted, he also reacted.

Li Lingfeng's face was extremely serious. He continuously pinched the Dao seal, his magical power surging, and cast powerful magical power towards the purple-golden octagonal mirror, making it shine brightly and emit even greater power.

He was fully activating the magic treasure's power. If the one trapped in the Eight Trigram forces were an evil demon, he could even refine the demon with the Eight Trigram forces.

Li Lingfeng's Eight Trigram powers were still at a basic level. If he could cultivate to the great completion stage, no matter how powerful the demon, once trapped, it would be completely refined, disappearing from the world, dead and gone.

Unfortunately, Li Lingfeng's Eight Trigram powers were still far from the great completion stage, and Gu Fei's Five Elements combat skills were also powerful.

The Eight Trigram powers could not cause substantial harm to Gu Fei. The Five Elements Fist, with its mountain-like force, repelled the Eight Trigram forces, making it difficult for them to approach.

Gu Fei roared repeatedly within the Eight Trigram forces, the trigrams shining with brilliant light. Although repelled, Gu Fei found it difficult to break through the Eight Trigram forces and escape.

This was a clash between Dao techniques and combat skills, a confrontation between a Daoist and a martial artist. Li Lingfeng used Dao techniques to activate the magic treasure, stirring up the Eight Trigram forces and the eight forces of heaven and earth, making the world seem to lose its color.

But Gu Fei's performance was even more astonishing. The Five Elements Fist, each punch as heavy as a mountain, surged with a blinding five-colored qi, forming a surging sea of five colors, blocking the Eight Trigram forces. The power he unleashed with his flesh and blood was truly terrifying.

"Very well, it seems I have to use that move to break this formation." Gu Fei's long hair danced wildly, his eyes flashing with fierce light, and he was about to use his ultimate move.

In fact, Li Lingfeng's Eight Trigram powers had formed a profound innate Eight Trigram formation, trapping Gu Fei tightly. The purple-golden octagonal mirror above Gu Fei was the eye of the formation.

Despite his young age, Li Lingfeng not only refined his own magic treasure but also delved into formations, truly a genius with boundless potential.

Gu Fei now realized that prolonged combat was greatly disadvantageous to him. If he continued to grind it out with Li Lingfeng, he might end up losing. Li Lingfeng cultivated Dao techniques, using them to draw on the heaven and earth's qi, which was a natural ability of Daoists.

Although Gu Fei could also absorb heaven and earth's qi, his power came from his own Five Elements primordial qi. He had not yet broken through to the Transcendent Realm, and his body had not been transformed, so he could not communicate with heaven and earth, making his primordial qi endless and cyclic.

Whether a Daoist or a martial artist, at the Awakening Realm, they could not achieve complete internal and external transparency, with endless magical power and primordial qi.

Only by breaking through to a higher cultivation realm, from the Awakening Realm to the Transcendent Realm, could a Daoist condense a Dao Pill and a martial artist transform their entire body, reversing to the innate state, achieving endless magical power and primordial qi.

"Roar...!" Gu Fei roared, his black hair dancing wildly, his eyes emitting two terrifying beams of light, his appearance extremely fierce and terrifying.

"Boom!" A volcano-like surge of power erupted from his body, instantly tearing his upper clothing into countless pieces, exposing his upper body. His bronze-colored skin shimmered with a brilliant light, making him seem powerful and terrifying.

"Clang!" Gu Fei's right hand emitted a qi glow, a three-colored qi glow shooting out several yards, the three colors swirling, representing the Three Elements of the Five Elements.

The grayish color was earth qi, the golden color was metal force, and the water-blue was water essence. The Three Elements shot out from Gu Fei's hand, then quickly shortened to about one yard.

Gu Fei looked extremely strained, his right hand veins bulging, and sweat the size of soybeans appearing on his forehead. The sweat had not even flowed down when it was evaporated by the surging primordial qi.

Forcing the Three Elements to merge into a one-yard-long three-colored sword light, the three forces collided and intertwined, making the power even more immense and terrifying.

With Gu Fei's current cultivation, he could only勉强 achieve the merging of the Three Elements, and the duration was very short. He was taking a desperate gamble, win or lose.

"Kill!" Gu Fei shouted, taking a step forward. "Boom!" The entire arena shook violently, making a dull sound, and then he swung the light sword with great effort, chopping towards the approaching Gèn Trigram.

The three-colored sword light surged, like a dazzling divine light cutting through the void, as if space itself was being split. The Gèn Trigram, representing the mountain force, was silently split into two halves.

Gèn represents the mountain, and the mountain force is extremely heavy. The Gèn Trigram condensed a force as heavy as a mountain, but it was shattered by Gu Fei's three-element sword light, which cut through the mountain force like a withered tree.

The breaking of the Dao technique shocked Li Lingfeng, as if struck by lightning. His body wavered, and a trace of blood seeped from the corner of his mouth, indicating he was injured.

The sword light, after breaking the Gèn Trigram, did not dissipate but directly broke through the Eight Trigram forces and the trapped realm, slicing out.

"Swish!" A light sound, and the sword light left a long mark on the arena, extending beyond it.

Everyone was shocked. When the three-colored sword light left the arena, it had become dim and seemed about to dissipate, but no one dared to be careless.

Where the sword light went, the spectators below hurriedly dodged. A green figure shot up from the crowd, palm striking the sword light.

"Boom!" The person dispersed the sword light and then floated down from the air, landing on the ground. A disciple at the Transcendent Realm had intercepted the sword light that had broken out of the arena.
