Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Chapter 86: Chapter 86 Ten Thousand Clans Battle for Supremacy_1

Having a trump card does not mean one can stop striving to enhance their strength.

Ling Xiao was very clear that he still faced many difficulties.

And his current status had been earned through strength.

To consolidate and elevate his position, he must continue to advance without cease!

Advance!

He closed his eyes and began to cultivate the Snow Lotus Qi Technique.

Cultivating a top-level internal cultivation mind technique was truly difficult, even with the Cold-Pond Golden Fluid, the Golden Snow Lotus, and the Gang Qi Pills, it might not lead to much improvement.

After all, his Snow Lotus Qi Technique had already reached the fifth layer and entered the Mastery Level. Taking the next step had become extremely challenging.

But difficult as it was, he had to proceed.

He couldn’t simply choose to give up because it was hard.

He swallowed three Gang Qi Pills in one gulp.

Given his current level, using only one Gang Qi Pill at a time would hardly have any effect.

After consuming the Gang Qi Pills, his Gang Qi flowed faster and more forcefully. He began to repeatedly expand the fifth Martial Vein.

Only through relentless forging can Martial Veins become the strongest.

Even if a martial artist successfully opened all nine Martial Veins, it doesn’t mean the task is complete.

The Martial Veins are the storage place for inner strength, regardless of the form it takes—be it True Qi or Gang Qi, it’s ultimately stored and stimulated through the Martial Veins.

The stronger the Martial Veins, the higher the quality and the greater the quantity of Gang Qi.

Cultivating the Martial Veins is a lifelong endeavor, with successful initial breakthroughs being merely the first step.

Transformed into pure Gang Qi inner strength, the Gang Qi Pill entered the fifth Martial Vein. Ling Xiao did not dare neglect, swiftly circulating the Snow Lotus Qi Technique to absorb it.

At the same time, the Mountain and River Martial Soul was also active. A portion of the cold qi from the Cold-Pond Golden Fluid stored within the Mountain and River World was extracted and merged into his body, converging with the Gang Qi.

Since his own volume of Gang Qi had long since reached the level of a Martial Vein Seventh Level martial artist, breaking through to the Martial Vein Fifth Peak Realm was relatively easy.

He had begun his cultivation after dinner.

In just one shichen, he absorbed the medicinal effects of the three Gang Qi Pills completely, fully opened the fifth Martial Vein, and successfully advanced to the Peak of Fifth Level Martial Pulse Realm.

After all, the volume of Gang Qi is simply a matter of quantity.

But advancing to the Martial Vein Fifth Peak Realm was a significant step forward in strength.

If he were to fight Ling Feifan now, he might win even more easily.

After all, Ling Feifan was only at the peak of the Fifth Level Martial Pulse as well.

And in terms of strength, skill application, and the volume of Gang Qi, he was no match for Ling Xiao.

After breaking through to the Martial Vein Fifth Peak Realm, he encountered a bottleneck; reaching the Martial Vein Sixth Layer wasn’t something that could be achieved overnight.

So, he planned to do something else first.

The move performed by the blue-clad woman he encountered at the Fulong Mountain Range kept reappearing in his mind, making it difficult for him to concentrate on his cultivation.

Therefore, he decided to try and comprehend that move first.

Even if he could not fully understand its essence, if he could grasp at least a tenth of it, it could become another ace up his sleeve.

With this thought in mind, he gently shook his body, and immediately, an exact replica of himself appeared.

That was his Martial Soul Avatar.

It possessed a third of his strength.

However, the advantage of this Martial Soul Avatar was not its strength, but its mimicry.

The Martial Soul Avatar could imitate the moves of anyone it had seen before.

Ling Xiao adjusted his strength to be roughly equivalent to that of the Martial Soul Avatar, then commanded the avatar to mimic the attack of the blue-clad woman.

”Come, attack me with all your might!”

Ling Xiao was shining with golden light all over, evidently having brought the Nine Revolutions Golden Body Technique to the level of the sixth rotation.

He did not dare to be negligent.

After all, the blue-clad woman’s move was incredibly terrifying.

Even the Level 8 Pinnacle Monster Beast Great Strength Divine Ape was killed by her Terrifying Finger. Although the Martial Soul Avatar was of lower level, and thus the move’s power would certainly be less when executed by it.

But he was suppressing his strength at the moment, so he had to be careful.

If by chance he truly was killed by the Martial Soul Avatar, that would be a joke indeed.

He did not instruct the Martial Soul Avatar to hold back.

Only through the trials of life and death could one truly hone their combat skills.

Suddenly, Ling Xiao, leveraging Xiang Yun Bu, charged toward the Martial Soul Avatar, transforming into a beam of golden light, his fists smashing down like meteors toward the other.

He hadn’t planned on holding back either.

After all, if the Martial Soul Avatar were lost, it could be recreated as long as he had enough spiritual energy and Gang Qi. He was not afraid of not being able to create another.

At this moment, the Martial Soul Avatar stood there quietly, then suddenly raised its right hand and lightly tapped.

Ling Xiao saw a nearly colorless Gang Qi that seemed to merge with the entire world; if not for his Mountain and River Martial Soul, he would have been unable to detect it.

”This is bad!”

Ling Xiao instinctively felt something was wrong and quickly changed his fists to defense, placing them directly in front of himself.

However, in the next moment, his entire body trembled, both arms and chest experiencing agonizing pain.

”Stop!”

It was too terrifying.

Ling Xiao called to the Martial Soul Avatar to halt.

Just one move, and both his arms and body had been pierced through already.

Lucky for him, he dodged the vital points at the critical moment, otherwise he would have really died a confused death in the Practice Room today.

What kind of technique was this, so terrifyingly powerful? Could this be the legendary Transcendent Martial Arts?

He shook his head.

Nobody could probably give him the answer to that question.

At least not now.

If he were to learn this move, he would truly be unbeatable at the same level.

”That blue-clothed woman, just who is she, so divine? If she wanted to eradicate Tianfeng City, I’m afraid no one could stop her.”

Thinking of this, Ling Xiao couldn’t help but inhale a breath of cold air.

Since he was young, he often heard his grandfather Hong Qi talk about stories heard from the streets.

The world outside was not as peaceful as it appeared in Tianfeng City; no one knew when war might erupt.

No one knew when a city would be simply destroyed.

In the entire world, humanity is just the most insignificant of races, and this world is home to as many as ten thousand races.

All the other races are stronger than humanity.

The reason is simple.

The key is that humanity has lost the Martial Soul that once allowed them to dominate!

Nowadays, there are very few human Martial Artists who can awaken their Martial Soul—that’s the biggest reason for humanity’s weakness.

Of course, he used to treat such stories as just that—stories.

But ever since he met that blue-clothed woman, he no longer thought the same way.

Although the blue-clothed woman looked like a human, Ling Xiao felt that she must not have been human because her aura was far too different from that of humans.

On this point, the Mountain and River Martial Soul gave the same response.

But as to what race that woman actually was, he did not know.

The reason was still that his strength was too weak, which affected the effect of the Mountain and River Martial Soul.

”Come on! To survive, for the sake of my family!”

The current Ling Xiao did not harbor such grand ideas; he wouldn’t say he was striving for all of humanity.

Because he was not qualified yet.

With his current strength, there were plenty of people who could kill him.

He needed to become stronger, and the Terrorizing Finger of that blue-clothed woman had become the move he most wanted to understand.

”Again!”
