Chapter 1785 Hot pursuit
Li Chengxi knew nothing about magic, mainly because the way he became a god was different from the way ordinary mortals became gods.

Anyone who can become a god is basically a veteran of many battles. Even if they are not wizards, they definitely understand magic.

Li Chengxi was different. He became a god inexplicably and had no idea about many common sense things that one should know before becoming a god.

But if we don’t understand, we can ask.

Since entering the valley yesterday, Li Chengxi has asked Orday that the valley itself must be shrouded by a huge barrier. Even if it is not an artificial barrier, a natural barrier is still a barrier.

It is inevitable to isolate the inside and the outside. Even if He Luoyu chases after them, it is not easy to get in.

So now looking at the He Luo fish, it is like an octopus stuffed into a glass bottle, directly hit the outermost layer of the barrier.

Its tentacles kept striking, but without making any sound. However, every time it struck, the entire sky as far as the eye could see would light up slightly, and then spread out in all directions from the place where it was struck like a shock wave.

The barrier of the valley is powered by underground spiritual veins. Considering that it has still existed for more than a thousand years since Qingshan Sanren left, its strength can be said to be very high.

Li Chengxi didn’t dare to guarantee that He Luoyu would definitely not be able to break the barrier. After all, the barrier was not set up by him, and he didn’t know the specific details.

But what is certain is that if He Luoyu wants to get in, he will have to work hard.

Seeing that it couldn’t get in, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Damn, being chased by a monster as big as a mountain, the feeling of oppression was really too strong.

Li Chengxi said to Ran Xiaoyi:

“The reason why the Heluo fish chased you is because of the pair of steel whips on Yiyi’s back. The way you Wuzhu sealed it is quite interesting. When the Heluo fish was sealed, its power was actually continuously poured into the steel whips.”

Using the power of the sealed person to seal it is a bit of a trick but not a miracle.

The problem lies in how you use the energy you absorb.

It is useless to simply release it between heaven and earth. After all, it is the other person’s own power. When you release it, the other person absorbs it back. He may even be able to grasp the details of your seal and break the seal.

So there must be an efficient way to utilize this surplus power.

It is hard to say what the original seal of the shamans in southern Xinjiang was like, but judging from the fact that they had to build a building and reinforce the seal every hundred years, the original seal was strong but unsustainable.

In order to solve this problem, the later shamans must have had in-depth communication with the locals and used a clever method.

That is the Qingyang Whip.

They changed the form of the seal from simple suppression to absorbing the He Luo fish’s own power to seal it.

The energy used to maintain the existence of the entire building, spell traps, mechanisms, etc. is only a very small part. Even if it is not used intentionally, the scattered energy dissipated from the seal is enough.

Most of the energy of the Heluo fish was poured into the Qingyang Whip.

On the one hand, it was because the effect of the Qingyang Whip was to wipe out all the evil spirits in the world, and He Luoyu was also covered by it, thus perfectly restraining it.

On the other hand, the magic weapon Qingyang Whip, regardless of its capacity, can grow.

When Li Chengxi first looked at the bamboo slips left by Qingshan Sanren, he thought that since they were weapons he used when he was young, they could at most be perfect-grade magic items.

But when he got the Qingyang Whip, he found that it was actually an epic magic item, which confused Li Chengxi.

Until he saw the description at the bottom, oh, that’s what it was. It’s hard to say what grade the Qingyang Whip was originally, but during the time it was used as a reservoir to help seal the Heluo Fish, the Qingyang Whip itself was constantly upgraded due to the continuous injection of Heluo Fish’s energy.

The same is true for the growth of magic weapons. The more often a cultivator uses a magic weapon, the stronger it will become. Otherwise, it will become weaker.

The Qingyang Whip was continuously infused with energy during the thousands of years it was sealed. Its grade was improved bit by bit, and its capacity became larger and larger, eventually completely draining the Heluo Fish dry.

This is why the blue bar of the He Luo fish is always empty.

Moreover, this kind of draining does not just involve the blue bar, because the Qingyang Whip is now at the level of an epic magic item, and its capacity is so large that the Heluo Fish cannot fill it at all.

What happens if there is not enough energy?

Start to absorb the essence of the Heluo fish, which is the foundation of the Heluo fish.

“Don’t be fooled by its appearance of being very powerful. In fact, it is already at the end of its strength. If it can take away the Qingyang Whip and feed back the energy that was sucked away, it can still survive. If not, it will soon turn into ashes.”

This is also the reason why, although Heluoyu’s level is similar to Jiufeng’s, it does not have the godhood level.

Because it was sucked away.

One of the greatest features of epic and legendary magic items is that their effects have the ability to utilize or distort the laws of nature.

This is a power usually possessed by gods.

The Qingyang Whip is a special-killing weapon. The reason why it can reach the epic level is probably because it absorbs the divinity level of the Heluo Fish.

If you put yourself in his shoes, it is not difficult to understand why He Luoyu is chasing him so relentlessly. Anyone would do the same.

According to Olde, everything in the world actually has magic, it’s just a matter of how much.

Running out of magic power is not a big problem, you just need to wait for it to recover, but if the magic power is exhausted and not recovered, then that person is dead.

It is said that this situation is very rare, but there is a special term in magic called “magic exhaustion syndrome”. People who suffer from this disease can only rely on magic crystals to prolong their lives, and it cannot exceed one week at most.

It is definitely unscientific for the Heluo fish to grow so big. It is a mollusk. Without blue, it means there is no unscientific force to support it. It will not take long for it to be crushed to death by its own weight.

Judging from the blue bar of the Heluo fish, there is nothing that can fill it up in an instant. It is now completely fighting for its life, trying hard to get back the power that was sucked away.

So Li Chengxi was not panicked at all, and his voice was calmer than before because he knew clearly that He Luoyu would not live long.

Li Chengxi’s voice was not loud, and only Ran Xiaoyi, Qin Yan and Ning Xian’er who were around Yang Yiyi could hear it. Everyone else was still paying attention to the He Luo fish that kept hitting the valley barrier.

After hearing his explanation, the people around him felt relieved. After all, given the size of the Heluo fish, it was really not a monster that human power could resist.

But not long after they felt relieved, everyone heard a loud click.

An ugly and terrifying crack appeared above my head, as if the sky had split open, spreading from one end of my vision to the other.

He Luoyu kept up the hard work, and with a few clangs, the crack widened further. Everyone was horrified to see that an obvious gap had been opened near He Luoyu.

And this mollusk is moving towards the gap and trying to get in…
