Chapter 1088: The Fat Daoist
On the peak of the mountain.
Hundreds of new recruits stood in the snow, gazing at the scene in front of the National Guardian Monument, their hearts already in their throats.
As they saw the pitch-black pillar of fire shoot up into the sky, the recruits widened their eyes, their faces filled with shock.
“Look! Instructor Cao Yuan has turned into a giant!”
“Wait! Wasn’t Instructor An just engulfed by the flames? He can’t be…”
“How could that be possible! That’s Instructor An; he won’t die so easily.”
“What terrifying malevolence! What on earth is that?”
“The giant that Instructor Cao Yuan transformed into is blocking a deity! My heavens! Is this the true power of the instructors?!”
“That’s not enough! What about the other three gods?”
“How could Instructor Lin possibly hold off three gods by himself…”
“Hey? Have you seen Instructor Bai Li?”
“No, he was just here…”
Hearing the recruits’ discussions, Shen Qingzhu withdrew his gaze from the National Guardian Monument and looked around, realizing that Bai Li Fatty had indeed disappeared, a look of confusion appearing in his eyes.
…
Amidst the swirling snow, a deep red figure was rushing towards the direction of the National Guardian Monument.
Bai Li Fatty gritted his teeth, his eyes fixed on the chaotic battlefield in the distance, his expression extremely grave.
“The seal of the Black King has not yet been broken; at most, I can only block one Egyptian god. With the current state of Qi Ye, even if he possesses a sick god, he can only reach the peak of the ‘Klein’ realm, and it would be very difficult to even hold off one Egyptian god…
Is there really no other choice…”
A deep glimmer flashed in Bai Li Fatty’s eyes as he raised his hand and heavily slapped three times on his own crown.
Bang bang bang—!
With each slap, a wisp of reincarnation energy surged from within him, and his realm began to soar at an astonishing speed.
With the first slap, his mental power erupted like a geyser, instantly rising from the initial stage of “Wuliang” to the peak of the “Wuliang” realm.
With the second slap, a crisp explosion echoed from within him, and the invisible shackles shattered with a bang, his mental power breaking through barriers and directly elevating to the “Klein” realm.
With the third slap, his mental power surged like a full spring, rising rapidly, pushing towards the peak of the “Klein” realm!
After three slaps, Bai Li Fatty’s face turned pale, and he stumbled, nearly falling to the ground.
“The reincarnation has not yet reached perfection; I can only elevate to this level… Since that’s the case, there’s only one last resort left.”
Bai Li Fatty steadied himself with one hand on the snow, while the other hand reached into his pocket, pulling out a straight knife that fell into his palm.
He looked up at the distant battlefield and sighed helplessly.
“That guy, Yuan Shi, why did he have to stuff this thing in my belly… Taking it out will take some effort.”
A resolute glint flashed in his eyes as he reversed his grip on the knife handle and suddenly stabbed the blade into his abdomen.
A sharp pain shot through him, and Bai Li Fatty let out a muffled groan, bending over in agony and spitting out a mouthful of blood.
His right hand, gripping the knife handle, did not loosen at all; instead, he gripped it tighter, taking a deep breath and slowly cutting open his abdomen.
Blood soaked his clothes, dripping onto the snow beneath him, quickly forming a deep red pool.
Bai Li Fatty lowered his head, looking at the gaping bloody wound on his abdomen, his pale face showing little emotional fluctuation. He silently raised his left hand and reached into the bloody opening…
A few seconds later, a jade ruyi emitting a faint white light was grasped in his palm.
Even though Bai Li Fatty’s hands, abdomen, and legs were already covered in blood, the surface of the jade ruyi remained spotless. The moment it was exposed to the air, a mysterious aura flowed out, making anyone who glanced at it feel dizzy.
Bai Li Fatty held the jade ruyi tightly, took out a roll of bandage, quickly wrapped his wound, and then struggled to stand up from the ground.
Holding the jade ruyi, he straightened his back and murmured in a low, obscure tone:
“…Jade radiance shines, golden reflection flows true, forming and containing elegance, enveloping and establishing the divine.”
As his voice fell, the jade ruyi in his hand trembled violently, and a white halo spread out, completely engulfing Bai Li Fatty’s figure.
Amidst the illusory aura, strands of reincarnation power unraveled like peeling silk, Bai Li Fatty’s short hair visibly lengthened, his skin smooth as jade. He stood there quietly, his form seemingly unchanged, yet he appeared increasingly tall and imposing.
Bai Li Fatty casually pulled out a bamboo stick, twisting his long hair into a hairpin, and with a flick of his deep red cloak, it transformed into a robe radiating a faint red hue.
Holding the jade ruyi, he slowly opened his eyes, streaks of star-like patterns crossing his gaze, deep as the starry sky.
“Only half a stick of incense…”
He sighed, shaking his head helplessly. With a wave of the jade ruyi, the white aura completely concealed his figure, making it impossible to discern his appearance.
He flickered and dashed towards the black monument.
…
Before the National Guardian Monument.
Lin Qi Ye held his forehead, beads of sweat the size of beans dripping from his brow, feeling as if his soul was about to be torn apart, suffering immensely.
His eyes slowly opened, the left one emitting a faint golden hue, while the right one held a natural light green.
Two distinctly different yet intertwined divine powers radiated from within him.
Bragi himself might not have been aware, but Lin Qi Ye was very clear that after bearing Bragi’s soul, he had gained not only the power of the god of music and poetry but also the power of the god of youth.
Bragi and his wife, Eden, shared a single heart, a dual deity, their souls and divine powers tightly intertwined.
Though both were forms of divine power, Bragi and Eden’s powers were much gentler than the combined form of Sun Wukong’s demon and Buddha. Their powers blended seamlessly, and Lin Qi Ye felt no rejection. However, the weight of the two divine souls made Lin Qi Ye’s already burdened soul suffer immensely.
Bragi had long surpassed 50% in healing progress, but this was still Lin Qi Ye’s first time bearing their souls… perhaps also the last.
Lin Qi Ye forced himself to gather his spirit and recited aloud:
“The golden tiger city stands, the copper dragon sword belt anew!”
“The rock-solid mountains are firm, the spiritual source flows long!”
“After a thousand trials and tribulations, still strong, let the winds from east, west, south, and north blow!”
As he recited the three verses, towering steel walls hundreds of feet high materialized from the void before Lin Qi Ye, surrounding the two Egyptian deities like an impregnable fortress, trapping them firmly within the walls.
