Xia Fei had seen many lights in his life, but he had never seen any light that was so dazzling.

This was an ode to life and loyalty! Furball had used Shatterstar to prove how much he cared about his master's life, so much so that he would even sacrifice his life to protect his master!

The ignorant of the universe regarded beasts as lower lifeforms, cursing them and viewing them with disdain.

Only Xia Fei had always treated Furball and Little Goldie like his friends! This was exactly why Furball had left with such composure, not even thinking about it. In his mind, dying in battle for his master was an honor, the mission for which he lived!

When Furball's Shatterstar Strike cut through space, Xia Fei's heart dropped into the icy abyss, the entire world turned dark and gloomy.

Xia Fei's eyes which cultivated supreme ocular cognition arts grew hazy from the tears and blood!

The wailing of ghosts and weeping of gods!

Truly the ultimate strike that came at the cost of a Holy Beast's life! The power of Furball's life force came down like a bolt from the heavens, instantly piercing through Azure Moon's body.

A little ball fell to the ground, a happy smile on its face. Furball felt that it was a blessing to die for his beloved master.

It was such a simple demand, and such a heavy price!

*Thump! Thump!*

Xia Fei's heart beat heavily, heavy like never before! So heavy that his life force almost crumbled!

Xia Fei could blurrily make out another small figure. It was very small, because his name was Little Goldie.

This silly guy had crawled onto Azure Moon's shoulder. Azure Moon was still frozen in disbelief that Furball's Shatterstar Strike had pierced through his body.

The silly Little Goldie gave Xia Fei a silly smile, and then he bit down hard on Azure Moon's neck!

Blood gushed out! Like an unstoppable geyser!

Little Goldie's body began to darken, turning pitch-black!

Little Goldie was born in dark space. He originally was a little lifeform on the verge of death, and it had been Xia Fei who had given him new life.

Unlike Furball, he was very dumb, but he was just as loyal as Furball!

Before Xia Fei could react, Little Goldie activated dark space!

This was no ordinary attack, for Little Goldie's small body had turned black, the same color as dark space! And then he merged into it…

After making this powerful attack, Little Goldie silently walked over to Furball's side, exhaled, and then lay down next to Furball. Two small lifeforms took their final breaths...

Xia Fei's body trembled as if he was about to erupt in flames!

He was very angry, unprecedentedly angry! "Give me back Furball!" Xia Fei let out a heaven-shaking cry that tore his throat!

Xia Fei had gone crazy!

Radix had gone crazy!

Peacock Blue had also gone crazy!

Critical Strike!

A Critical Strike that consumed his life force!

"Give me back Little Goldie!

"I want you dead!"

Xia Fei blasted Azure Moon into the air and then back down into the earth!

*Pshkl*

Xia Fei even tore a big bite out of Azure Moon's shoulder!

Xia Fei suddenly felt like he wasn't being cruel enough! He needed to employ the cruelest methods in the universe!

The Nirvana Fiend Blade tore viciously away at Azure Moon's body. Radix wept as he had the Fiend blade hack again and again! He wanted to hack Azure Moon into meat paste!

The power from burning one's life force was terrifying. Even Azure Moon could not confront the fury of life force! And this was not just one life, but three!

Xia Fei grabbed on one of Azure Moon's legs, and then he slammed Azure Moon's body into the ground like it was a hammer!

*Bang!*

Blood splattered!

*Bang!*

Flesh was mangled!

*Bang!*

Bodies came apart!

No, this still wasn't enough to vent Xia Fei's hatred!

Azure Moon didn't just need to die! He needed to die without an intact body!

A gruesome scene took place on the battlefield. In his madness, Xia Fei was venting his rage! He didn't care about what form he stomped Azure Moon into!

*Chunk*

A blade chopped down!

Xia Fei grabbed Azure Moon's head and chopped it off!

He was like a barbarian, raising up Azure Moon's bloody head while howling crazily!

This was the price, the price for enraging Xia Fei!

At this moment, a white substance like mud gathered on the ground, taking human form.

This was Mu Tianbai! He wasn't just friends with Azure Moon. He had used a secret art to fuse with him!

Pa! Xia Fei grabbed the Fiend blade and walked over grimly.

Mu Tianbai was incapable of fighting back. Azure Moon's death also meant that he could no longer stay in Azure Moon's body.

"No...no..." Mu Tianbai backed away as he begged.

Pluush!

The red-eyed Xia Fei didn't care, bringing down his blade again and chopping off Mu Tianbai's head, brutally cutting it off!

...

The world was very quiet. Xia Fei could hear nothing, and his eyes were completely red.

Burning life force conferred terrifying combat power, but it came with terrifying consequences. At this moment, Xia Fei's life force was slowly leaving his body, like a cocoon unwinding.

His mind empty, Xia Fei staggered up to Furball and Little Goldie. He threw the heads of Azure Moon and Mu Tianbai on the ground and then hugged the two little fellows.

Men cried blood instead of tears when their hearts were broken, and at this moment, Xia Fei's heart had been pulverized!

Like a madman, he dumped out a pile of bottles from his spatial ring and began to pour medicine into the mouths of Furball and Little Goldie.

Alas, the two of them had lost consciousnesses long ago, so the medicine entered their mouths and dribbled out from the sides.

Radix stood to the side, so overcome by sadness that he couldn't watch, ghostly tears flowing endlessly from his eyes.

Suddenly, Xia Fei noticed the five-seed fire lotus in his spatial ring. Not caring what it was, Xia Fei tore up the fire lotus, took the seeds, and placed them in the mouths of Furball and Little Goldie.

Several minutes passed, but nothing happened.

Xia Fei despaired. His heart was in terrible pain, and there was a great weight on his chest that made it difficult for him to breathe.

Placing one of the crystalline lotus seeds in his mouth, Xia Fei hugged Furball and Little Goldie and slumped to the ground. Gradually, Xia Fei began to lose consciousness, his vision blurring...

...

Xia Fei felt like he was in a dream. Something was licking his face, constantly licking his face, and making it very sticky.

"Causing trouble..." Xia Fei raised a hand and wiped his face. He touched something very furry and warm…

"This feels like...

"Furball!"

Zing!

Xia Fei sat up suddenly and opened his eyes. It really was Furball! He was lying on his head while Little Goldie was in his chest, snoring away.

Xia Fei didn't dare believe his eyes, shouting excitedly, "Furball! Little Goldie! You're not dead! You didn't die!"

Xia Fei swept up Furball and Little Goldie in his embrace, right up to his heart, so excited that he couldn't speak.

"It's a good thing you had those lotus seeds. When you started losing consciousness, the seeds became white streaks of light that saved all of you," Radix yammered excitedly. "Weren't you always saying that a trial that didn't kill you was a blessing?! This is that trial that didn't kill you!"

Even Peacock Blue extended his blades of grass and embraced Furball, Little Goldie, and Xia Fei.

Although Little Goldie was still his silly self and Furball was still the cunning Furball, Xia Fei was different. He couldn't help but love these two guys, no matter what.

At this moment, the final level of the Seven Star Steles changed, turning into a clear sky with a plain of green grass.

That elderly voice announced with a laugh, "Xia Fei, congratulations!"

Xia Fei looked up and saw that an old man had appeared, wearing a strange robe and holding a strange cane, his bald head shining under the sunlight.

"Who are you? Why are you congratulating me?" Xia Fei demanded of him.

"I'm congratulating you because you've overcome this mortal tribulation. For all things in the world, only when there is destruction can there be reconstruction, and only then can one become invincible!" the old man stated firmly.

"Rebuild after destruction, becoming invincible!?" Xia Fei was taken aback, muttering, "I feel like I've heard that before..."

"That's very normal, for it is the truth, the eternal truth of the universe! To reach heights that one's predecessors could not reach, one must break free of the world, becoming a special and unconventional existence!

"You and your beasts have overcome this mortal tribulation, so you've gotten stronger by an entire tier! Is such a good thing not worth congratulations?" the elder shook his head and smiled.

"Stronger by an entire tier?" Xia Fei muttered as he stood up. He stretched his limbs and found that he was brimming with energy, as if he had been reborn!

Critical Strike!

Xia Fei tried to use his maximum speed limit combat techniques, and he immediately shot off like a streak of light!

No, that wasn't light, but something moving even faster than light!

Everyone knew that light speed was 300 million meters per second, but Xia Fei's Critical Strike was a whole 500 million meters per second, almost double light speed!

This wondrous feeling left Xia Fei rather dizzy. Now that Xia Fei had broken light speed, everything around him seemed to slow down, like a movie in slow motion.

His eyes, nose, and every other part of his body became abnormally sensitive!

Xia Fei didn't know what was going on, but this was definitely a huge boost!

In the past, in his high-speed attacks, Xia Fei had relied on his well-developed nervous system to predict and react. Now that he had exceeded light speed, he still had his nervous system, and everything around him seemed to move slowly!

In these circumstances, even if Xia Fei didn't have his enhanced nervous system, he could still make the most accurate judgment, and Xia Fei's judgment had always been top-class!

Speed had two major disadvantages. The first was acceleration. Many speed warriors needed to accelerate over a very long distance before hitting their maximum speed, but Xia Fei had Critical Strike! He could be at maximum speed from the start!

The second was reaction time. Speed warriors without sufficiently swift reflexes would easily get into trouble, like running into a wall or not reacting to a trap in time.

Now, Xia Fei had subdued both of these shortcomings, and he had increased his speed to beyond light!

In this way, Xia Fei's combat power was multiplied several dozen times! He had gone beyond light speed!

Xia Fei also felt like his energy reserves had grown larger. He had already possessed impressive energy control, and he could now control his own energy as his heart desired!

"When you destroy and then rebuild, no foe in the world can stand against you! When you destroy and then rebuild, no foe in the world can stand against you!"

Xia Fei excitedly repeated the words twice as he looked at his body in disbelief. This sensation that he was bursting with combat power filled him with confidence!

Furball happily smiled, as did Little Goldie, and Radix clapped his hands in excitement. "Beyond light speed! Xia Fei, you're beyond light speed! You can move faster than light!"

The elder smiled and stepped forward. "What do you think? I didn't trick you, right? To achieve that which no one has achieved before, you must destroy and then rebuild! Your faster-than-light speed is your reward for this feat!

"Come, come, come. All of you, just come with me. I will take you to a place that is simply unimaginable."

Xia Fei was startled, asking in shock, "Where are you taking us?"

The elder said, "Do you not want to become a god? You've overcome the Seven Star Steles, so you've obtained the right to become a god. Only one last step is missing before you can ascend to the realm of the gods."

After some thought, Xia Fei asked, "What's the last step?"

"Enlightenment," the elder said firmly. "Meditate before the wall at the summit of K'un Lun for three years, comprehending the differences between mortals and gods, and you will become a god!"

Xia Fei was stunned, his expression darkening. He said in a raspy voice, "Meditate for three years!? No, my loved ones and brothers are fighting for their lives against the dragons! I can't leave this place!"

The elder was flabbergasted. "Those are all your mortal fetters! If you want to become a god, you must toss aside such distracting thoughts. Brothers? Loved ones? Gods have nothing of the sort!"

Xia Fei shook his head, his face turning agitated. He grabbed Furball and Little Goldie and turned to leave.

"My apologies. If that's a god, then I, Xia Fei, refuse to become a god!

"In that battle just now, I came to understand that what's most important in life isn't becoming a god, but being together with the people you care about! Just like how I'll never abandon my two friends Furball and Little Goldie, I can never cast aside my loved ones and brothers to go off and be a god all by myself!

"If I did that, even if I became a god, there would be no joy in it!" Xia Fei replied with incredible resolve. Just moments ago, he had seen Furball and Little Goldie in a wretched condition. He believed that they had died, and his heart had shattered!

Thus, Xia Fei's greatest concern at this moment was Avril! His Skywing brothers! His friends, like Oro!

If the dragons weren't dead, then Xia Fei would never become a god!

"That's not your choice." The elder laughed eerily. "My name is Eternity, and I am one of the gods. My mission is to have you abandon these fetters, follow me, and reach the heights of the gods!"

"Nonsense!" Xia Fei glared as he cursed. "You becoming a god is your business! I'm Xia Fei! I don't care about becoming some god!"

"Hmph!" the elder snorted. "You're like this because you can't cast aside your love, friendship, and that accursed affection! There's no way you can become a god like this! I will not watch as someone with such incredible potential goes down the wrong path!"

"Hahahaha!" Xia Fei threw his head back and laughed! Thick with fiendish energy! It was as if that fiendish Xia Fei had returned!

"I decide who I am and what I become, not you!" Xia Fei declared firmly.

Turning around, Xia Fei looked at Furball and Little Goldie and shouted, "Stop standing around! Dismantle these Seven Star Steles! If this dumb god won't let us out, we'll smash apart his shrine! Fight our way out!"

"Awoooo!" Furball and Little Goldie were abnormally excited. This was the real Xia Fei! The Xia Fei that Furball and Little Goldie were willing to die for!

He was unruly! Unreasonable! Not caring for any rules!

The elder's eyes flew open as he barked, "You dare to touch the God-Surpassing Stairs!? This is the domain of the gods!"

With a rumble, a dark silhouette moving faster than light erupted forward!

Xia Fei grabbed the elder's head and swung the Fiend Blade Nirvana!

"I won't just smash your shrine! I'm also slaying a god today!"

*Schwing*! The blade swung, and blood gushed into the air!

A third head dropped to the ground!

Xia Fei was truly unreasonable! He had just slain a god!

Xia Fei raised his head high and bellowed, "I'll slay anyone who stops me, god or demon!"
