In the world of "Covering the Sky," one can refine Gu (a type of poison) to become an immo

Amid the cheers of his fellow Daoists, Pang Bo took the lead and swung his foot to stomp on Ye Fan.

"boom--!"

With a single step, Qingmao Mountain trembled, and a huge cloud of dust shot into the sky.

Beneath the smoke, faint lights flickered on the arena, preventing it from being trampled through.

The mecha's mere stride stirred up a massive storm, whipping up a violent sandstorm that swept across the mountainside and toppled the bamboo forest.

The dense sand and gravel, just by hitting the ground, would pierce the earth like a sieve.

The immense force was evenly distributed in all directions.

Even across a mountain, everyone could feel the intense tremors.

Watching the stones falling around them with a clatter, the new disciples felt both fear and a burning passion igniting within them.

Looking at the towering purple mech across the mountain, they immediately understood why their senior brothers had come even though they had to abandon the elders' sermons.

To witness such a battle of giants, even death would be worthwhile!!!

The next second, before they could even worry, the senior students with binoculars clenched their fists and cheered loudly:

"Oh oh oh!!! That's it! Senior Brother Ye, cut through his mid lane!"

The newcomers stared wide-eyed, but all they could see was a vast expanse of smoke and dust.

"Senior, isn't Ye Fan being a bit reckless?"

Inside the pavilion, Weiwei's eyes gleamed with a strange light as she asked Sha Xiao a question.

Sha Xiao put down the teapot, glanced at it, and chuckled:

"Not at the moment. He's right not to engage in a war of attrition with Pang Bo."

As they spoke, the smoke gradually dissipated, and everyone saw a blue dot of light flash and fly to the waist of the purple mecha.

With a muffled "thud," an even more violent shockwave pierced through the sand and dust.

Suddenly, the silver-armored giant dodged the purple Shura's stomp, its back radiating blue light as it flew into the air and delivered a punch to the purple Shura's relatively weak waist.

The violent shockwave pierced through the air in a very short time, creating white rings in the air.

"boom--"

A violent shockwave swept across the mountains and struck the observation post outside a hilltop.

The disciples climbing on the cliff felt immense pressure coming from in front of them. The powerful airflow made their faces tremble like waves, and their bodies were pressed against the cliff, unable to move.

At this point, they understood why they dared not go to the opposite mountain to watch the battle, without needing any explanation from their seniors.

If the pressure is this great even from across a mountain, they would probably be blown away by the wind pressure if they were watching up close.

Even so, they couldn't bear to close their eyes, and despite the soreness and tears, they kept staring intently at the other side.

"But wouldn't that just put us within Pang Bo's attack range? Why not use the alternating hot and cold tactics from last time outside?"

Weiwei frowned, not quite liking Ye Fan's choice.

Sure enough, Pang Bo seized the opportunity, stirred up the sand with his fists, and slammed them down.

The sand and dust melted as they rubbed against the atmosphere, turning into a crystal-clear, transparent, hot, sticky liquid that coated the fist.

Despite its large size, the purple armor was surprisingly fast.

In the blink of an eye, two fists, like two giant fireballs, flew from the left and right, flanking the silver-armored warrior.

Sha Xiao gestured towards Pang Bo's hands, which were constantly cracking and then instantly healing:

"Isn't that the answer? After Ye Fan defeated him by breaking his limbs with that move last time, Pang Bo changed the problem by strengthening his already strong recovery ability."

Instead of addressing the problem specifically, should we solve it by strengthening our strengths and developing new applications?

Weiwei nodded thoughtfully; that was indeed a possible solution.

Unexpectedly, Pang Bo has made progress in his cultivation.

"Oh no, get out of the way!"

On the opposite hilltop, Ye Fan's supporters clenched their fists and tensed up upon seeing Pang Bo's terrifying attack.

The silver mech remained perfectly calm in the face of the overwhelming fists.

He pushed off with both feet on the waist of the purple mecha, causing the mecha to shift its body, while he nimbly moved to the side of the purple mecha where it was least likely to exert force.

"That's it!"

While everyone cheered for Ye Fan's skillful movements, Sha Xiao glanced at Pang Bo with satisfaction:

"Hehe, using it in multiple ways, you've finally made some progress."

"Bang!"

Just as the two fiery meteor-like fists were about to collide, Pang Bo transformed his fists into palms.

A sudden gust of wind surged from his palms, and along with the violent shockwave, it propelled the shattered glass and flames out at an even greater speed.

"What a brilliant move, Shattering Fire Meteor!"

Weiwei's eyes lit up as she watched Pang Bo's actions.

"It's still early. He's not skilled enough at local deformation yet, otherwise Ye Fan would have suffered a great loss."

Sha Xiaoming took a sip of tea and said calmly.

Looking at the oncoming flames and the sharp, shattered glass, Ye Fan smiled and sighed:

"Good grief, you forced my shield out so quickly?"

He sat in the cockpit and tapped a few times, and a 3rd-level Golden Light Gu and a 2nd-level Circuit Gu appeared.

Ye Fan activated the two Gu worms, with the Circuit Gu leading the way. Hundreds of golden rays intertwined and crisscrossed, weaving a semi-circular shield. This was the third turn of the mortal path killing move—the protective golden light.

Flames and pebbles struck it, crackling and popping like water droplets falling into a lake, creating violent ripples.

As Ye Fan manipulated the silver mecha to deploy its shield, he reached to his waist and pulled out a long, rod-shaped object.

"Wow, Ye Fan has improved too. His idea of ​​dismantling a completed killing move and using the Gu worm inside for two purposes is quite bold. Pang Bo is going to suffer a loss."

As Sha Xiao watched Ye Fan remove the Circuit Gu from his killing move and launch the next killing move without affecting the Golden Light killing move, a look of surprise and delight appeared on her face.

This requires extremely refined combat intuition and confidence.

If it's dismantled too early, the protective golden aura won't withstand the first wave of intense attacks.

The demolition was delayed, and Pang Bo knew what Ye Fan was up to. Being on guard, he naturally wouldn't fall into the trap.

Sure enough, we need to put some pressure on the leaves.

The disciples watching the spectacle from the opposite hilltop couldn't understand the mystery at all; they just cheered excitedly when they saw Ye Fan about to unleash a killing move.

"It's coming! The Great Sun's Divine Light!"

"Attack his core, Senior Brother Ye!"

Without any sound or warning, a beam of light almost as bright as the sun pierced the air and shot towards the head of the purple armored warrior.

Second-stage circuit Gu, third-stage small light Gu, third-stage magnetic Gu, fourth-stage gravity Gu, fourth-stage killing move—magnetic light cannon.

"broken!"

The moment Pang Bo saw Ye Fan raising his gun behind the golden shield, he knew something was wrong and quickly swayed left and right. But one step too slow meant another, and he was still grazed on half of his head.

"He's finished."

One of the new disciples made a judgment in a low voice.

The head is a vital organ; without half a head, they don't know how they can survive.

But the next second, something happened that surprised them greatly.

Despite losing half his head, the purple armored warrior moved freely as if nothing had happened.

Without the slightest hesitation, Pang Bo endured the intense pain and quickly adjusted his posture, swinging his arm in a single-arm giant swing.

"Kachcha!"

Ye Fan never expected that Pang Bo would still have the power to resist. Caught off guard, he missed the main body, but his weapon was broken and he lost a lot of Gu worms.

At the same time, the top of the purple armored figure slowly undulated.

In half a second, it returned to its original state.

It was only then that the newcomers realized what the problem was.

"Wait! That purple armor is actually alive? Then is it even human?"

They exclaimed in surprise.

An elderly man who had arrived some time earlier cheered for Pang Bo and explained with a smile:

"You're obviously a newcomer. He's Elder Sha's disciple; how could he not be human?"

"This is the inheritance of Senior Brother Pang Bo called the Path of Transformation. It allows one to transform into all things, and injuries will hardly be reflected back to the individual."

"Not only does it consume little energy, but it also has a thousand lives per person, making it truly unstoppable in battle."

The person next to him retorted:

"What's so good about the path of transformation? It relies on nothing more than the strength of animals. While beasts may have their strengths, they are all flawed."

"Although one can exchange injuries using the beast's body, it will ultimately consume the user's own divine power and physical strength."

"Furthermore, switching transformations requires a long guidance time, which is not convenient in chaotic battles."

Some people couldn't help but nod in agreement:

"When it comes to versatility, Senior Brother Ye's armor technique is the best."

"As long as you prepare different functional modules, you can make it infinitely varied, and you can even change it while fighting, making it even more unpredictable."

"It is said that as long as there is enough source, it is even possible to use source to replace one's own divine power to drive the battle armor."

"By fighting to the very end and waiting for the enemy to tire themselves out, we can surely defeat them decisively."

Those who disagreed immediately joined the fray, listing their own advantages and disadvantages, and the argument quickly escalated.

While they were arguing, the battle between Ye Fan and Pang Bo on Qingmao Mountain continued.

"Take this!"

Piloting Unit-01, Pang Bo pressed his advantage relentlessly, activating the Transformation Gu, Dual-Gun Gu, Raw Flesh Gu, and Ironclad Gu simultaneously in his left hand.

Suddenly, the Spear of Longinus was generated, piercing through the air at an extremely fast speed and extending towards Ye Fan.

"Pang Bo is acting irrationally. He has to appear fierce and launch a barrage of attacks, but he must not actually clash with Ye Fan. If he does clash, he will suffer a loss."

Sha Xiao frowned and made a firm statement.

Although Weiwei was puzzled, she still watched and analyzed the video carefully.

Ye Fan, sitting inside the Freedom Gu House, decisively unleashed his own killing move upon seeing the situation.

He activated the Small Light Gu, Focusing Light Gu, and Magnetic Gu, combining them into a killing move—a high-frequency light blade to meet the attack.

"Duang—!"

The enormous impact was deafening, and the sound waves sent the stream below the mountain gushing out like a fountain.

It's clearly the smaller side, the one with even less leverage.

However, Ye Fan's Strike Freedom instead cleaved a large gash in the larger Spear of Longinus and pushed it back.

"Damn! That's outrageous!"

Pang Bo was so shocked that he felt dizzy and lightheaded.

He shook his head, cleared his head, and recovered from his earlier smugness.

Once he regained consciousness, he quickly maneuvered Unit-01 backward while continuously wielding his large gun, forcing Ye Fan to move.

"Damn, she's awake? It's the same old war of attrition again, sigh..."

Upon seeing Pang Bo's fighting style, Ye Fan, who had already fought more than forty matches, immediately understood his intentions.

It's purely about dealing damage to get Ye Fan to attack more often and expend more energy.

Although Ye Fan, as a master of the Ten Absolute Physiques and the Ancient Sacred Physique, was far superior to Pang Bo in terms of the quantity, quality, and recovery speed of his divine power and true essence, he was still far superior.

But who can blame Pang Bo for possessing the miraculous food-nourishing Gu?

If a real fight breaks out, even his breathing can be considered a form of replenishment, allowing him to maintain his energy level even longer than Ye Fan.

Moreover, Ye Fan's mecha consumes far more energy than Pang Bo's transformation techniques.

Most importantly, the Transformation Dao Gu worms are not easy to kill; so far, Pang Bo has not lost a single Gu worm.

But after just two collisions, Ye Fan saw that the Armored Gu that made up the killing move was already a third of its original size, and the Hundred Qi Golden Light Gu had also been shattered.

Pang Bo's main strategy is to exchange health for mana, taking advantage of the fact that his Gu worm killing move's endurance and health bar are inferior to the transformation killing move.

Once Ye Fan is forced out of his mech, the immense drain on his increasingly powerful strength will force Ye Fan to finish the battle quickly.

"Here we go again. Isn't Pang Bo's strategy just taking advantage of Ye Fan not having activated his Life Spring yet, playing dirty tricks? What's the point besides delaying the inevitable defeat?"

Weiwei sighed helplessly. Next up was the most boring part: the internal strength competition.

As Weiwei lamented, Ye Fan could only helplessly scoff at the situation and maneuver the Strike Gundam to dodge left and right.

While looking for an opportunity, Ye Fan also quickly switched the output mode of the Strike Freedom to ranged combat mode.

In an instant, the entire battlefield turned into a chase between the two.

Ye Fan continuously unleashed a barrage of long-range attacks on Pang Bo, composed of Gu worms such as Jiao Lei Potato Gu, Explosive Bomb Gu, and Light Gu.

Pang Bo continuously used his size advantage to stir up dust and mist, gradually pressuring Ye Fan's escape and forcing him to use Gu worms to increase his consumption of true essence.

"Oh no! The silver armor still isn't working?"

"I told you we should have chosen the red triangle! Against a large, versatile opponent like Pang Bo, you have to wear him down."

"Hmph, do you think Pang Bo is a fool? If he sees you using the red triangle, he'll just switch to another beast to transform into."

Seeing Ye Fan struggling more and more, the Lingxu disciples watching the battle started arguing among themselves.

No, if we continue to avoid fighting, we will surely die.

Ye Fan quickly realized the problem and began to think of a way to break the deadlock.

He tapped the control panel with his right hand, activating the four-turn gravity gu, the one-turn weight gu, and the one-turn stability gu simultaneously.

The fourth-stage killing move—of paramount importance!

Silently, Ye Fan locked onto the most important position in the giant Unit-01—its right leg—with his killing move.

"Your right leg is quite good at feinting and deception. Unfortunately for you, I'll just look at the weight; you can't dodge it."

Ye Fan smiled slightly; he was certain that Pang Bo was definitely there!

Suddenly, just as Langnusky's spear swept across...

Ye Fan changed his attitude of dodging, the power source behind him suddenly went out, and he fell downwards in an instant.

After taking cover under Longinus's spear, he quickly restarted and charged back towards his main body along the spear.

"What happened? The silver armor is gone?"

"No! He's under gunfire, he's found Pang Bo's location?"

The spectators spotted Ye Fan's location almost simultaneously with Pang Bo.

At this moment, Strike Freedom was already infinitely close to Unit-01.

At this distance, if Pompo were to swing the Lance of Lonnusky back, the first thing he would have to cut is Unit-01 itself.

Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Pang Bo decisively abandoned the Lonnusky Spear and retreated quickly.

With a release, he sent the heavy Spear of Longinus plummeting straight toward Ye Fan.

Ye Fan's lips curled slightly as he activated the Lion's Roar Gu, Amplification Gu, Trumpet Flower Gu, and Vibration Gu to form a deadly attack—the Lion's Roar Megaphone:

"Hmph, trying to escape?"

He let out a hum, which carried the flavor of a Buddhist mantra he had learned at the Great Thunderclap Temple.

The enormous sound wave rippled through the air, enveloping Unit-01 and vibrating every part of it.

Besides the direct power, this move also contained a touch of control, causing Pang Bo to subconsciously stop in his tracks.

In that instant, Ye Fan's Strike Freedom had caught up.

He held the light blade that had been activated at some unknown time and was about to slash at Unit-01's thigh.

At the critical moment, Pang Bo regained his senses and mobilized all his divine power and true essence.

In an instant, a huge wave of light crashed down from above Ye Fan's head and onto the chest of Unit-01.

"Pangbo is going to lose!"

Vivi said affirmatively.

"Hehe, it's hard to say."

Sha Xiao smiled noncommittally, stood up, and tapped the old pine tree next to her with her cane.

In an instant, the entire mountain peak emitted a layer of shimmering light, and even a speck of dust became as hard as iron.

Faced with Pang Bo's all-out light wave technique, Ye Fan, without the defense of the Hundred Qi Golden Light Gu, had no choice but to give up the attack and focus all his energy on maneuvering the moving Gu worms to quickly dodge the light wave.

In the blink of an eye, the light wave struck the earth.

There was no sound; first came endless light and heat, followed by a shockwave that could destroy mountains and fill seas, and a mushroom cloud.

The moment the blow came crashing down, Sha Xiao, who was watching from the mountaintop, helplessly pressed his hand on the table.

True essence permeated the Gu worms that covered the entire Qingmao Mountain. An aura powerful enough to instantly annihilate the entire Yan region flashed by, and Qingmao Mountain was enveloped in a radiant light.

"boom--!"

The powerful explosion inevitably sent shockwaves crashing down on the surrounding mountains.

"Stop the attack."

Several elderly men with white beards jumped out from the crowd watching the battle on the opposite mountain. They formed a hand seal, creating a semi-circular light shield that enveloped all the disciples.

The violent shockwave passed in an instant, but the elderly people still looked uneasy.

"Tsk tsk, you're making great progress. In just half a month, you've already acquired the power of a desperate strike from the second level of the Dao Palace."

"Although it is thanks to the support of Fellow Daoist Sha's earth fertility that it possesses such divine power, at least it is sufficient for guarding the mountain."

The elders of Lingxu Cave Heaven discussed among themselves and then quickly disappeared.

After the violent explosion, the first to be hit was Unit-01, which had lost both legs and was half-crippled.

As for the Strike Freedom piloted by Ye Fan, it had already disintegrated amidst a roar.

"It seems that Senior Brother Pang will win this time."

The newlyweds, still shaken, put down their binoculars and commented.

"Hehe, you're overthinking it." The Ye Fan fan crossed his arms, pointed at the dust, and laughed, "This is Senior Brother Ye's strongest form!"

The newlyweds quickly looked over again.

Sure enough, they discovered a humanoid figure, about the size of a normal person and charred black, flying towards the purple Unit-01 amidst the endless dust.

The dust was blown away, and Ye Fan, dressed in a set of gleaming golden body armor, traversed a hundred meters in a single step.

Weiwei smiled as she poured tea for Sha Xiao:

"Pang Bo has severed both his legs; his defeat is inevitable. Senior, is it still necessary for Ye Fan to continue?"

Sha Xiao stood outside the pavilion, tightened his grip on his cane, and smiled:

"The outcome is still uncertain, so it's hard to say."

Upon hearing this, Weiwei was somewhat incredulous. Given the current situation, what other means did Pang Bo have to turn things around?
