Chapter 1456: Chapter 1457: Can You Forgive Me?
“Great Resentment Species?”
“What is that?”
Li Xiaobai raised his eyebrows and asked in confusion.
“The Great Resentment Species is something that can only be born in places of deep resentment. The formed resentment can completely replicate everything of the intruder, whether it’s appearance or cultivation level, all exactly identical. It’s like facing a flawless version of yourself!”
“This is true for anyone who enters. The terror of the Great Resentment Species lies not in its ability to wipe out cultivators with a wave of its hand, but everyone knows that once you step into it, the outcome is death, just a matter of time!”
“And the most crucial part is, as long as you’re defeated by the Great Resentment Species, your consciousness will be completely wiped out, and then taken over by the vengeful spirits, breaking free from the lake’s shackles!”
The elder from the Heavenly God Academy said, having seen much, he recognized the origin of the lake’s water at just a glance.
“Has no one been able to defeat the Great Resentment Species?”
“Since you’re facing an identical version of yourself, there seems to be an opportunity to break through.”
Li Xiaobai asked, breaking through in battle to surpass oneself is something many geniuses can achieve.
“It’s useless. The strength of the Great Resentment Species is identical to that of the invader. In other words, if the invader’s cultivation level breaks through, the strength of the Great Resentment Species will also keep up immediately. No matter what realm you break through to, it’s impossible to defeat it. You can only turn into a corpse when your power is completely exhausted!”
The elder said in a deep voice, “Throughout history, countless gifted talents have died at the hands of such vengeful spirits. This entire lake, condensed from resentment, is its source of power. Someone once tried to fight the Great Resentment Species with Heavenly Tribulation and still couldn’t escape the fate of being cut down!”
“Senior Zhang, if your strength isn’t stronger than the original owner of this battlefield, take a step back!”
“There will be many opportunities in the future. Rather, prepare sufficiently and re-enter the battle. If you retreat now, I assure you that the cultivators of the Heavenly God Academy will not utter a single word, and the matter of the forty-ninth battlefield will never be known to outsiders!”
The elder from the Heavenly God Academy said cautiously, fearing that Li Xiaobai might impulsively lead them into the Great Resentment Species, which they couldn’t handle!
“Does the Great Resentment Species have consciousness?”
Li Xiaobai asked, a thought crossing his mind.
“Of course, it does. This is a top-level vengeful spirit!”
“The Great Resentment Species, manifested by it, is just like cultivators, including thought and combat skills, which is why it is the hardest entity to deal with among vengeful spirits!”
The elder said, continuously emphasizing the might of the Great Resentment Species, hoping that Senior Zhang could calm down and not get too riled up.
But what he didn’t expect was that as soon as he said that, Li Xiaobai walked straight toward the lake without any hesitation and stepped into the water.
“Ah, this…”
“Senior, you are…”
He was shocked, and numerous cultivators behind were also shocked. What kind of operation is this? They said the Great Resentment Species is an unbeatable entity unless your cultivation level surpasses the upper limit of the original owner of the battlefield. Otherwise, no one can overcome it!
With the same cultivation level, the same cultivation technique, the same Bloodline Power, even the same thinking mode, it’s like facing yourself, and even if you break through during battle, it can also immediately adapt. What does this mean? It’s absolutely unbeatable!
“Oh no!”
“He is too overconfident. Perhaps his cultivation level is indeed formidable, reaching an unimaginable height, but there’s no way he can surpass the Great Resentment Species!”
“We’re doomed. Without Senior Zhang leading, no one can get through the barrier to return to the second layer!”
The cultivators were terrified, they couldn’t go back and would be stuck on this layer, and if the powerful figures in the rear succeeded in breaking the Formation and coming up, they wouldn’t just let them go easily!
They might even throw them into the lake to test the waters, ending up the same way—dead!
They could only hope that this Senior Zhang could hold on for a little longer. If he were to die and be occupied by the Great Resentment Species, with his cultivation level, every living being within this battlefield would suffer!
“How can those who sit and view the sky from the bottom of a well understand my strength!”
“Have a good look at how I deal with this Great Resentment Species!”
Li Xiaobai sneered at everyone’s worries. No matter how formidable this lake was, as long as the entity born of it had cultivation level identical to his, it couldn’t defeat him. He had a winning Magic Treasure!
At the center of the lake, Beixuan was already overwhelmed and couldn’t hold on, having no cultivation level to rely on, coupled with his Bloodline Power being shackled by the Binding Pill, he was no match for the Great Resentment Species, beaten into complete disarray in just a few rounds.
Li Xiaobai ignored it, staring at the water before him that was slowly rising and forming into a human shape; a brand new “Li Xiaobai” appeared in front of him.
It felt as if looking into a mirror, exactly identical!
“Hello, fellow Daoist!”
The vengeful spirit took the initiative to speak, its expression calm, as if they were merely exchanging everyday greetings.
Li Xiaobai tilted his head: “How good?”
“As good as the moment I crush your heart!”
The vengeful spirit sneered, revealing its ghastly white teeth.
“You think you can defeat me?”
Li Xiaobai stood with hands behind his back, smiling faintly.
“This is only natural. Within six feet, I am invincible!”
“If you don’t believe, then make your move!”
The vengeful spirit also stood with hands behind its back, a mocking expression on its lips.
“Alright, then I’ll try you out!”
“Bring it on!”
The lake’s surface fell into a deathly silence. The two faced each other, their clothes unmoving despite the lack of wind.
Those on the shore widened their eyes, fearing to miss any exciting part, but the next scene left them bewildered.
The two standing on the water simultaneously removed their upper garments, revealing their strong physiques, then lay down straight.
What kind of operation is this?
How can you fight while lying flat?
Do experts like to play this way?
“Hiss!”
“Indeed, even the skill given by the System can be copied over, but it should not have the System.”
Witnessing this scene, Li Xiaobai immediately understood; all of his skills had been copied, except the System. Other than that, the Great Resentment Species in front of him should not differ from him.
A Longsword appeared in his hand, fiercely splitting down; the Demon Sealing Sword Intent swept across, striking the vengeful spirit’s body without leaving a scratch!
At the same time, the vengeful spirit performed the same Sword Technique, the powerful Sword Qi sweeping over, not causing the slightest bit of harm to Li Xiaobai.
Both were enveloped with four times defensive power, and with only Transcendent Third Layer Sword Intent, neither could harm the other in the slightest.
“Hundred Percent Barehanded Blade Catch!”
The Great Resentment Species initiated the divine skill first; many cultivators on the shore, affected by this skill, charged straight into the lake.
“Senior, save me!”
“No, it even copied this move!”
“Senior, quickly interrupt its sword move; at this rate, you may not decide the victor, but everyone on the shore will be dead!”
The cultivators were flustered, watching in horror as their bodies submerged in the lake, forcibly dragged into the battleground of the Great Resentment Species, each evolving into vengeful cultivators that made their scalps tingle.
“Since it’s a vengeful spirit, it must hold quite a grudge against me too.”
Li Xiaobai got up from the water, casually took out a green hat, and walked toward the Great Resentment Species with a smile, placing the hat on its head amidst its puzzled gaze.
“Can you forgive me?”
