Berserk God of War

Chapter 973: Chapter 973: Reverse Soul Realm, Initial Fusion of Spirit Martial

There was no choice, Hua Meixi could only grit her teeth and leave first.

After going back, she would just make up a lie, saying that she had already warned Sikong Jing to stay away from the kids in the Chaotic Eighth District.

However, what she didn’t know was that her mother already very much wanted to see Sikong Jing.

Inside the Sky Wolf Court, Sikong Jing was truly in seclusion, and indeed had no time to see Hua Meixi...

The meridians within his body began to change and improve with the Lower Emperor Grade ”Cloud Gathering Technique,” while previously he had obtained Lu Ju’s ”Cloud Gathering Remnant Technique,” and with continuous improvement, the Cloud Gathering Beast’s meridians grew stronger...

Who knows how much time passed... Boom!

As the newly formed Cloud Gathering Beast meridians successfully closed, the True Qi within Sikong Jing’s body trembled repeatedly, and at this time, he suddenly rose and launched an array of palm strikes, controlling them to erupt continuously within the room.

The palm strikes were fierce and powerful, yet carried a hint of ethereal aura.

Shortly after, he gradually withdrew his power, and Sikong Jing chuckled softly: ”The ultimate Spiritual-grade Beast Skill, Cloud Gathering Palm!”

Although the ”Cloud Gathering Technique” is a Lower Emperor Grade cultivation technique, Sikong Jing could not directly cultivate it, merely altering the meridian paths belonging to the Cloud Gathering Beast inside the technique into a beast skill.

Because of the transformation from cultivation technique to beast skill, owing to the differences between the two, the grade lowered by a small level.

But even so, it was still his current strongest beast skill, surpassing the grade of the Ten Dragons Chaotic Kill Sword.

Exhaling gently, Sikong Jing said in a low voice: ”Now, I can break through to the Reverse Soul Realm.”

Saying this, Sikong Jing then sat down cross-legged again.

He activated the ”Emperor Beheading Technique” and fused it with the newly closed Cloud Gathering Beast meridians for an impact.

Half a day later... Boom!

The roaring True Qi surged into a new level, formally stepping into the Reverse Soul Realm.

The Golden Body Realm is where all the meridians in the body become as tough as gold and iron, while the Reverse Soul Realm goes beyond one’s own essence, stirring the soul, the most obvious manifestation being that the Reverse Soul Realm can open up the Spiritual Platform Sea of Consciousness.

And this is where the term ”Reverse Soul” comes from.

The essence of the soul is truly reversed, allowing Martial Artists to connect with their souls and open up the Spiritual Platform Sea of Consciousness, this is the Reverse Soul.

Thinking of this, Sikong Jing murmured to himself, ”I opened up the Spiritual Platform Sea of Consciousness early on during the Daoist Martial Realm; now, does my Spiritual Platform Sea of Consciousness have any new changes?”

As he said that, he unhesitatingly let his consciousness enter the Spiritual Platform Sea of Consciousness.

It was still the essence powers of human, demon, and beast, constantly flickering within the Spiritual Platform Sea of Consciousness, possessing the ”Human Demon Beast” attributes, which was also what set Sikong Jing apart.

However, after careful experience, Sikong Jing did not feel much change, and the Ten Thousand Beasts Sky Prison floated quietly within it...

But as the Reverse Soul Realm True Qi fully enveloped it... Bang Bang!

The small heart in the Dantian of the composite beast suddenly thumped heavily, that was the Beast Heart resonating.

It seemed like it wanted to do something.

Right at this moment, Sikong Jing heard the voice of the Divine Turtle from the Ten Thousand Beasts Sky Prison, saying, ”Master of Ten Thousand Beasts, you can now perform Spirit and Martial Fusion. The first thing you need to do is to condense your own Spiritual Shadow.”

Sikong Jing was stunned, but then his eyes widened in realization.

He had already learned about the situation of the Spirit Martial Stage from Hua Lidian and Yao Yuzhi.

The so-called Spirit Martial Stage is the fusion of spirit and martial arts, which is the integration of the Spiritual Platform Sea of Consciousness power with the Martial Arts True Energy within the body... but he had just reached the Reverse Soul Realm and could already perform spirit and martial fusion?

However, he quickly calmed down, he was the Master of Ten Thousand Beasts, having opened up the Spiritual Platform Sea of Consciousness in the Daoist Martial Realm.

He, Sikong Jing, was truly different from the others!

”Senior Divine Turtle, how do I condense my own Spiritual Shadow?” Sikong Jing gently asked.

The Divine Turtle soon replied, ”It involves condensing the power of your Spiritual Platform Sea of Consciousness into your own life-bound Spiritual Shadow. We demon beasts have no special method; it forms automatically upon reaching the Spirit Martial Stage.”

”As for you, Master of Ten Thousand Beasts... we don’t know, there’s still more for you to experience.”

Sikong Jing, being human, yet possessing the bloodline of the Master of Ten Thousand Beasts, made it difficult for the fierce beasts to understand or guide him.

In response to this, Sikong Jing furrowed his brow, then unknowingly let go of his heart, body, and Spiritual Platform, allowing the bloodline of the Master of Ten Thousand Beasts within him to run its course, while he seemed to empty himself to feel everything within.

Gradually, he seemed to find himself in various past battles, both his own battles and ones where he transformed into a Blood Devouring Demon Beast.

All appeared as though specters drifting by, yet also seemed to be re-experiencing them.

Bang bang bang bang...

The little heart within the composite beast’s Dantian pounded with increasing intensity.

The bloodline of the Master of Ten Thousand Beasts within his body, along with the various meridians throughout his body, continued to operate, and as time went on, a faint phantom gradually manifested in the Spiritual Platform Sea of Consciousness.

That was a phantom of himself; as if opening the bloodline like a demon beast, Sikong Jing automatically condensed the Spiritual Shadow.

The Spiritual Shadow represents the tangible embodiment of the power of the Spiritual Platform Sea of Consciousness reaching a certain level.

At this moment, Sikong Jing felt that the strength of his Spiritual Platform Sea of Consciousness was exceedingly powerful and unlike before, not difficult to control; now it seemed he could wield it with the Spiritual Shadow.

If before this power was intangible, it now gradually became tangible, able to flow freely like True Qi.

For instance, if previously when he wanted to channel the power of the Spiritual Platform Sea of Consciousness into a line, he needed to concentrate his mind, now just a thought sufficed.

Buzz...

In that moment, the Spiritual Shadow opened its eyes, and it vanished within the Spiritual Platform Sea of Consciousness.

It seemed to completely overlap with Sikong Jing, and subsequently, Sikong Jing sensed the Spiritual Shadow and the True Qi within him continually merging.

No one knew how much time had passed when the Spiritual Shadow returned to the Spiritual Platform Sea of Consciousness.

And now the phantom seemed to be shimmering with light, carrying the True Qi aura of his ”Emperor Beheading Technique.”

Sikong Jing could genuinely feel that if he unleashed any technique now, as long as he utilized the power of the Spiritual Shadow, he could fuse his Spiritual Platform Sea of Consciousness power into it, making the True Qi stronger, more precise, and more formidable.

”Whew...”

Sikong Jing glanced at the Spiritual Shadow for a few moments before slowly withdrawing his gaze, asking: ”Is this what Spirit and Martial Fusion is?”

After a moment of silence, the voice of the Divine Turtle sounded, ”Yes, you have already achieved the Spirit and Martial Fusion, which only those in the Spirit Martial Stage can accomplish. From now on, your cultivation will revolve around the concurrent operation of spirit and martial arts, as your martial prowess strengthens, so will your spirit...”

”And achieving spirit and martial fusion below the Spirit Martial Stage is exceedingly rare, whether among your Human Clan or among the demon beasts, especially upon just entering the Reverse Soul Realm, extremely rare!”

The Divine Turtle emphasized heavily, making Sikong Jing realize just how special he was now.

”Indeed, I now feel that if I were to kill Lu Ju again, I no longer need to resort to assassination.” Sikong Jing nodded heavily; he could feel his entire body’s power growing even more terrifying due to the Spirit and Martial Fusion.

His combat power now probably wasn’t much weaker than Yang Yi’s.

And he was merely at the Reverse Soul Realm, whereas Yang Yi was at the peak of the Martial Battle Realm.

Further steps were in order, and next, I’ll imbibe the inner core of the Emperor Martial Stage Iron Winged Divine Vulture.”

With Sikong Jing’s power increasing, he could already begin to attempt absorption...
