The power of the Five Elements, which generate and control each other, combined with the Three Elements, greatly enhanced Gu Fei's strength to a terrifying realm. The powerful fluctuations of primordial energy surged out like a fierce wind in all directions, with a momentum that shook the heavens.
In his hand, the tricolor sword light was like a divine weapon that could split the sky, unleashing a terrifying sword beam that tore through the heavens and earth. It actually broke through the power of the Eight Phases, causing Li Lingfeng, who manipulated the Purple Gold Bagua and invoked the Eight Phases of heaven and earth, to suffer a great impact.
However, the mountain-like aura that Gu Fei had split with his sword exploded, and the overwhelming force made Gu Fei retreat three steps, his flesh and skin, which he had tempered to be as strong as fine steel, tearing open with bloodstains.
"Roar!" Gu Fei let out a roar, and the entire arena shook violently like a tree in a fierce wind, the sound echoing through the sky. The young disciples watching from below were instantly stunned by the sound waves, their ears ringing, and they were filled with fear.
Gu Fei was like a reborn war god, fierce to the point of making one's heart race. In a state of madness, he slashed seven more times. These seven slashes were truly heaven-shaking,凝聚了他体内全部的三行元气，三行精气在这七剑中尽数宣泄而出。
The tricolor sword light was like a shocking rainbow, tearing through the void and sweeping across all directions. The cold sword qi spread out, making people feel as if they had fallen into an icy cave, their entire bodies cold.
There was no suspense; the other seven trigrams also shattered under Gu Fei's sword. The power representing the seven phases of heaven and earth immediately exploded, the seven forces intersecting to form a vast energy storm. This energy storm surged out like a huge wave, instantly engulfing Gu Fei.
Even with a body as tough as copper and iron, the moment the terrifying energy storm hit, Gu Fei felt as if his entire body was about to be torn apart by the powerful force. His bones crackled, and he felt a terrifying sensation of being torn apart. The pain was unbearable as his skin and flesh were torn open by the energy storm, even his skin, which was as strong as ordinary magical treasures, burst.
It was easy to imagine how powerful the shockwave produced by the explosion of the seven phases was. Even Gu Fei, whose body was strong enough to withstand ordinary magical treasures, suffered external injuries.
If it were an ordinary cultivator, they would have been torn into pieces by the energy storm, leaving no trace of their body.
With the Eight Phases' divine power broken, Li Lingfeng's face turned deathly pale, devoid of any color. Each time a trigram was shattered by Gu Fei's incomparable sword light, his body would tremble violently, and he would retreat a step. With the Eight Phases' trigrams shattered, Li Lingfeng retreated eight steps.
Blood seeped from the corner of his mouth, dripping onto his chest, making Li Lingfeng look somewhat tragic. The Purple Gold Bagua in the sky had become dim and was about to fall.
"Break it!" A roar suddenly echoed from within the energy storm, shocking all the spectators. The roar carried a fierce and wild aura, causing even the high-ranking disciples to change their expressions.
The wild and incomparable Gu Fei was truly terrifying.
As soon as the roar sounded, the spectators saw a brilliant tricolor sword light rise from the energy storm, splitting through the layers of energy waves. With a "Boom," it struck the Purple Gold Bagua in the sky.
The Purple Gold Bagua was directly struck and flew away, instantly becoming dim, and the essence, energy, and spirit attached to it immediately dissipated.
Li Lingfeng's head buzzed, and he felt dizzy, unable to distinguish east from west. His body swayed, and he staggered like a drunk, almost falling on the arena.
"This Gu Fei is so ruthless! He actually shattered the essence, energy, and spirit condensed on the Purple Gold Bagua with one sword, rendering Li Lingfeng's hard work in refining it useless."
Some high-ranking disciples who had knowledge of alchemy whispered to each other. In the art of alchemy, one's essence, energy, and spirit are used to refine magical treasures, making them intimately connected to the body. A single thread of divine consciousness attached to the magical treasure allows it to be used as easily as an arm.
If the essence, energy, and spirit refined into a magical treasure are dispersed, not only will the owner of the magical treasure suffer a great impact, but the magical treasure itself will lose its spiritual power and become no different from an ordinary weapon.
To restore the magical treasure's spiritual power, one must re-refine the essence, energy, and spirit into it. In a sense, Li Lingfeng's magical treasure was half-ruined.
After shattering the Purple Gold Bagua, the tricolor sword light, formed by the Three Elements' combined power, could no longer maintain its combined state and dispersed.
The tricolor sword light turned into flickering points of light, like fireflies, and re-entered Gu Fei's body. With the Eight Phases' divine power broken, the energy storm on the arena instantly dissipated, and the power of the Eight Phases returned to the heavens and earth.
At this moment, blood seeped from all seven orifices of Gu Fei's face, making him look terrifying and frightening. When the disciples watching from below saw Gu Fei's appearance, they let out cries of shock.
Zhao Zirou, who was mixed in the crowd, was extremely anxious. She didn't know the extent of Gu Fei's injuries, which made her very worried.
"Swish!" Gu Fei, covered in blood, took a step and was already in front of Li Lingfeng, who was now swaying on the verge of collapse.
With the Eight Phases' divine power broken, Li Lingfeng's essence, energy, and spirit were severely damaged. Essence, energy, and spirit are the source of magical power, and both Dao power and magical power are refined from essence, energy, and spirit.
At this moment, Li Lingfeng had no strength left to fight, and with his magical power nearly depleted, he couldn't even withstand a single punch from Gu Fei.
"You... lost!" Gu Fei had no intention of making another move. Although he had broken Li Lingfeng's Eight Phases' divine power, he had also consumed 95% of his primordial energy.
However, Gu Fei still had the strength to fight. Even if his primordial energy was completely depleted, he still had his powerful and abnormal body. With just his physical strength, he could still engage in a battle with ordinary cultivators without losing.
His strong physique allowed Gu Fei to fully unleash his combat power. His entire body, tempered to be both hard and soft, was like metal when hard, impervious to blades and magical treasures, and like water when soft, not resisting any force.
Every muscle and bone in his body was under his control, and every part of his body could deliver a fatal blow to the enemy. This was the terror of a martial artist.
"I lost..." Li Lingfeng was a bit dazed, unable to accept this reality. He knew Gu Fei was formidable, but Gu Fei's strength exceeded his expectations.
Geniuses are all proud. Li Lingfeng was undoubtedly a genius among the younger generation of Tai Xuan Sect, but this genius had lost today.
Li Lingfeng slowly calmed down, and the sense of disappointment and discouragement in his heart vanished in an instant. He quickly adjusted his mindset.
The myth of invincibility is just a legend. In reality, which talented person hasn't faced setbacks? Setbacks are not to be feared; what is terrifying is how you view them.
With this thought, Li Lingfeng no longer felt defeated. His eyes narrowed into slits, and two sharp, blade-like beams of light focused on Gu Fei.
"You are very strong. The next time we meet, I will defeat you. You will be my whetstone, the whetstone that will help me advance further on the path of Dao." Li Lingfeng said calmly.
"Very well!" Gu Fei's face showed no expression, and he had no extra words, but the intense fighting spirit in his tone was unhidden.
The path of martial arts is different from the path of cultivation and enlightenment. Martial techniques are combat techniques, developed by humans in ancient times when they fought against heaven, earth, demons, and myriad fierce beasts, and refined through endless battles. They are the most powerful, direct, and primitive techniques.
Battles, especially life-and-death battles, are what Gu Fei needed and sought. Wasn't Li Lingfeng also a whetstone for Gu Fei?
