The terrifying explosion caused by Koya diverted the attention of the four who were besieging Li Yuan at the same time.
In that instant, the opportunity Li Yuan had been waiting for finally arrived! "Blood Boil!"
His blood began to boil, accelerating its flow throughout his body with the beating of his heart, while the Seven Star Sword continuously provided a massive amount of blood power to meet the consumption needs!
"Life Return: Full Body Extreme Enhancement!!"
In an instant, his muscles surged once again, and even the power of the wings behind Li Yuan greatly increased, an overwhelming sense of strength enveloping his entire being.
As Li Yuan underwent this extreme enhancement, his body began to show numerous injuries resembling cracks in glass.
However, with the continuous infusion of blood from the Seven Star Sword into his body, which was then absorbed by his vampire powers, it transformed into healing energy that constantly healed the damage caused by the heavy burden on his body, placing him in a balance between destruction and healing.
Before the Seven Star Sword consumed the Blood-Blood Fruit, Li Yuan had only used Life Return to enhance his limbs, as the side effects of full-body extreme enhancement were too great, and his body's self-healing ability couldn't keep up.
But now, with the Seven Star Sword providing an endless supply of blood, he could finally use Life Return to enhance his entire body without worrying about irreversible side effects from over-enhancing himself! In the blink of an eye, Li Yuan shot out like a rapidly flying red meteor, breaking through the invisible chaotic domain created by Carlo.
Previously, Carlo had been creating various forms of chaos to limit him, but Li Yuan had been searching for vulnerabilities in that chaotic power all along.
The coverage of Carlo's chaotic domain was only a few hundred meters, and this domain could move, significantly enhancing Carlo's Devil Fruit powers within it.
This was akin to the ROOM space created by the Op-Op Fruit.
Once outside the range of this chaotic domain, Carlo's powers would be significantly weakened, even to the point of being unable to affect Li Yuan.
"Be careful, he's out of my control!"
After Li Yuan erupted, Carlo immediately noticed, or rather, he could no longer catch sight of Li Yuan.
Li Yuan's speed had received an extreme boost after his outburst, so incredible that even the power of Observation Haki struggled to capture his figure.
"Close in! He can't maintain this state for long!"
Garp shouted immediately. He had studied Li Yuan's fighting style, and this method of extreme power enhancement was Li Yuan's greatest reliance for defeating top-tier fighters, but the downside was very clear: it didn't last long.
Upon hearing Garp's words, the other three quickly tried to close in. Not only had Garp studied Li Yuan, but nearly all top-tier fighters in the world had analyzed Li Yuan's combat style.
They understood just how dangerous Li Yuan was right now; one misstep, and even top-tier fighters could be killed in an instant!
"The hunt begins!"
A cruel smile appeared on Li Yuan's lips as Conqueror's Haki gathered around him, making him look like a Super Saiyan transforming, radiating a blood-red glow, with even his hair standing on end.
At that moment, his wings trembled behind him as he charged toward Carlo.
"Carlo, watch your back!"
Garp immediately warned Carlo upon seeing the blurred blood-red figure.
Garp and the others knew that Li Yuan could sense killing intent, so they kept an eye on their surroundings. Since Observation Haki couldn't detect Li Yuan, they had to rely on their eyes.
At the same time, Garp's muscles began to swell, white mist pouring from his body as he stomped the air with his legs, rapidly closing in on Carlo.
"Bone Fist: Galaxy Impact!"
Knowing his speed wasn't enough, Garp gathered all his Haki into his fist and then struck out with tremendous force.
The combination of Haki and fist energy transformed into an unprecedented red shockwave aimed at Carlo's back, where Li Yuan's figure was.
"Crushing Shockwave!"
"Thunder Cannon!"
Aima Jiang and Ivanov rushed in without hesitation to assist Carlo. They all understood that without Carlo, it would be completely unrealistic for the three of them to hold back the now erupting Li Yuan. Only by closing in together could they hope to withstand Li Yuan's explosive state.
"Chaotic Space!"
Upon hearing Garp's warning, Carlo immediately turned and activated his Devil Fruit powers, creating chaos in the space before him, while covering himself in Armament Haki, blocking vital areas with his hands.
Carlo had long known that if Li Yuan erupted, he would be the most likely target, so his priority was to protect his life until Garp and the others arrived.
Seeing Carlo and the other three react, a slight smile appeared on Li Yuan's lips.
Just as he had drawn all of Carlo's attention, no one noticed that the blood bats he had initially released had quietly approached, and one had already gotten close to Aima Jiang.
"Body Swap!"
As Garp and the others' attacks, along with Carlo's chaotic space powers, were about to reach Li Yuan, his figure suddenly vanished from the spot, replaced by a blood bat that took the full brunt of the four's combined attack! "What!"
Li Yuan's sudden disappearance left the four present in shock; they had never heard of Li Yuan possessing such an ability to vanish instantly!
"Not good!"
Aima Jiang suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of crisis; he immediately thought that Li Yuan had targeted him.
Upon realizing that Li Yuan's figure was absent from his line of sight, Aima Jiang instinctively turned around and indeed saw Li Yuan, radiating a violent red glow.
Li Yuan held the Seven Star Sword, and the blood-red lightning locked onto Aima Jiang, an indescribable pressure completely enveloping him, causing his body to tremble uncontrollably.
"Trinity: Dominance Bind: God Slaying!"
In an instant, all the Conqueror's Haki that had been spread throughout Li Yuan's body converged onto the Seven Star Sword, and countless blood-red lightning bolts filled the sky.
The black Seven Star Sword transformed into a dark red hue, perfectly merging various powers such as Haki, sword intent, and blood.
As Li Yuan swung his sword down, the world was instantly shrouded in blood-red, even the space itself was cleaved, creating a long crack as if the entire realm was split in two by that one strike.
Facing Li Yuan's sword, Aima Jiang felt a deadly sense of crisis. He desperately activated his crushing power and Haki to try to block the strike.
But at the critical moment, as a glimmer of blood-red light appeared in Li Yuan's eyes, the flow of blood within Aima Jiang suddenly became obstructed, solidifying.
"Damn it, when was I poisoned!"
Aima Jiang was going insane; the blood within him was uncontrollably solidifying, rendering his body immobile, and he even felt a sense of suffocation in his brain.
Realizing this might be the effect of Li Yuan's Devil Fruit powers, he frantically activated Armament Haki throughout his body, integrating it into his blood.
Only Haki could counter Devil Fruit abilities; only by using the power of Armament Haki to dissolve the special toxin solidifying his blood could he hope to detoxify himself in the shortest time possible!
