Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Chapter 226: Chapter 226 Heavenly Dragon Scale Armor_1

Cultivation Level advanced to the early stage of Eighth Layer.

Soul Power surged.

Both ”Snow Lotus True Scripture” and ”Soul Burning Secret” had been cultivated to the realm of Great Perfection.

This provided Ling Xiao with excellent conditions for cultivating ”Heavenly Dragon Golden Body.”

In his hands, he had two Qianyuan Bone Changing Pills.

Each Qianyuan Bone Changing Pill was full of medicinal power, so he planned to take one first. After all, these pills required a Cultivation Level above the Eighth Layer to use, a higher requirement than the other two pills.

Taking two at once, he feared, would be more than he could bear.

As soon as Ling Xiao swallowed a Qianyuan Bone Changing Pill, he understood his guess was right.

In that instant, his bones felt as if they had utterly shattered, and that kind of pain was truly unbearable for an ordinary person.

For seven days and nights, Ling Xiao couldn’t even move, tormented every day.

But with his unwavering will, he tenaciously held on.

Furthermore, his Cultivation Level had reached the Eighth Layer of Martial Veins, and with his robust True Essence, he managed not to become deranged or bleed from seven orifices.

The only problem was the pain!

It was almost unbearable.

No wonder the Qianyuan Bone Changing Pill required a Cultivation Level above the Eighth Layer of Martial Veins to use. Such pain, such a powerful impact, was truly more than Martial Artists below the Seventh Level could withstand.

After seven days and nights, the pain finally subsided.

At that time, Ling Xiao fully activated ”Snow Lotus True Scripture” and ”Heavenly Dragon Golden Body,” pushing the absorbing power of Mountain and River Martial Soul to his limit.

The frenzied medicinal power kept surging into his body, and he could clearly feel the shackles of the second layer of ”Heavenly Dragon Golden Body” starting to crack, with a faint sensation of advancing to the third layer.

The toughness of his body improved rapidly, with astonishing speed.

With the ”Snow Lotus True Scripture” at the Great Perfection realm combined with the magical integration speed of the Mountain and River Martial Soul, about ten days later, the medicinal effect of the Qianyuan Bone Changing Pill was finally almost completely absorbed.

Ha!

Ling Xiao couldn’t help but let out a loud shout, expelling the waste gas from his body.

He opened his eyes and slowly got to his feet.

He could distinctly feel that the toughness of his muscles, bones, and flesh had significantly improved.

Especially the robustness of his bones, which he feared was now comparable to a Fine Treasure.

This was still just the raw strength of the body, without having activated ”Heavenly Dragon Golden Body.”

At the same time, since ”Snow Lotus True Scripture” was being operated repeatedly throughout this process, his Cultivation Level too was subtly improving.

Although not as fast as when he took the Top-quality True Essence Pill, it looked like the advancement to Intermediate Stage of Eighth Layer Martial Veins was not far off.

At this moment, his Cultivation Level had reached the Pinnacle of the early stage of Eighth Layer Veins, nearing the limit of breakthrough, with only a thin barrier separating him from the Intermediate Stage.

And his ”Heavenly Dragon Golden Body” finally broke through the second layer’s shackles and ascended to the third layer with the help of the medicinal effect of one Qianyuan Bone Changing Pill.

The third layer of ”Heavenly Dragon Golden Body,” besides continuing to strengthen the body, had two special characteristics.

One was the formation of Heavenly Dragon Tendon, and the other was the condensation of Heavenly Dragon Scales.

There was no order of which came first, and the Heavenly Dragon Scales was what Ling Xiao comprehended first.

When he merged True Essence into the Heavenly Dragon Golden Body cultivation technique, his body surface began to show a layer of golden scales.

These scales were transparent and barely visible for the moment.

Even so, the terrifying level of defense provided by the scales was much more powerful than that of the nine rotations of ”Nine Rotations Golden Body Technique.”

From now on, Ling Xiao’s defense had undergone another qualitative leap.

Heavenly Dragon Scale Armor!

This was not simply for show, especially since its defense was terrifyingly strong.

Moreover, the most ingenious part was that the Heavenly Dragon Scale Armor could be used to strengthen attacks depending on the part of the body it was attached to.

For example, by enveloping the hands with the Heavenly Dragon Scale Armor, the resulting attack would be much more powerful.

Besides, when the Heavenly Dragon Scale Armor attached to the whole body, it was equivalent to perfect absolute defense. Moving amidst tens of thousands of Martial Artists, even when facing the ambush of tens of thousands, as long as his defense wasn’t broken, he wouldn’t sustain any damage at all.

At this level, numbers basically had no significance for him; to try to use the human sea strategy against him was like a fool’s dream.

Of course, there was a reason why the Heavenly Dragon Scale Armor was condensed rather than created.

The reason was that Ling Xiao’s current True Essence was insufficient to maintain the Heavenly Dragon Scale Armor indefinitely.

Generally speaking, for Transcendent Martial Arts like the Heavenly Dragon Golden Body, even an Eighth Layer Peak Martial Master would be considered extremely powerful if they could maintain the Heavenly Dragon Scale Armor for twenty breaths.

Therefore, the Heavenly Dragon Scale Armor, like many defensive treasures, was basically used as a life-saving item, and would not be deployed unless it was a moment of crisis.

Ling Xiao’s True Essence was extremely thick, stronger by a lot compared to the True Essence of an Eighth Layer Peak Martial Master, and basically close to the total True Essence of a Ninth Layer Pinnacle Martial Master.

Thus, maintaining the Heavenly Dragon Scale Armor for a hundred breaths was not an issue for him.

Moreover, since his Mountain and River Martial Soul could Devour True Essence, the more enemies there were, the more advantageous it was for him.

Normally he wouldn’t dare to condense the Heavenly Dragon Scale Armor continuously, but when facing thousands of troops, even constant condensing wouldn’t be a problem.

Because the Devoured True Essence would be enough to sustain the Heavenly Dragon Scale Armor.

He had calculated it.

Without using the Heavenly Dragon Scale Armor, Martial Masters below the late stage of the Eighth Layer Martial Vein couldn’t harm him unless they possessed Divine Weapons.

Once he used the Heavenly Dragon Scale Armor, with his current cultivation level, he could stand undefeated even against an Eighth Layer Martial Vein Peak Martial Master.

He could completely exhaust the opponent!

As for early-stage Martial Masters of the Ninth Layer Martial Pulse, they would still pose a challenge for him, but at the very least, he could ensure he wouldn’t die.

For nearly half a month, Ling Xiao focused on solidifying the third layer of his cultivation of the Heavenly Dragon Golden Body and completely absorbing the remaining medicinal effects.

And he tried to perfect the use of the Heavenly Dragon Scale Armor.

After all, this also counted as a skill—when to employ the Heavenly Dragon Scale Armor, and where to apply it, all mattered.

Covering the full body definitely had the worst defensive effect, whereas focusing the defense on one point naturally produced the best outcome.

It all depended on the enemy faced.

Luckily, he had the Martial Soul Avatar, which allowed for repeated trials and practice.

After half a month, his use of the Heavenly Dragon Scale Armor had reached a state of perfection, and the third layer of the Heavenly Dragon Golden Body was completely stable.

The only thing was that he had yet to cultivate the Heavenly Dragon Tendon.

However, he was not in a hurry.

Because he knew well that haste makes waste.

The more impatient he became, the more likely it was for him to fall into devilment.

His current rate of cultivation was already incredibly fast; there was really no need to take risks, which could lead to loss outweighing the gain.

During this half-month period, because he hadn’t consumed the Qianyuan Bone Changing Pill or other Spiritual Medicines, Ling Xiao used the Shadow Cultivation Secret Technique again.

The main body continued to solidify the cultivation of the Heavenly Dragon Golden Body and perfect the use of the Heavenly Dragon Scale Armor.

One of the two avatars focused on elevating the Martial Soul and prepared to develop new finishing moves.

Since he had previously fused two brand-new Martial Souls, this was necessary.

The other avatar persistently trained in the Divine Prison King Fist.

Avatars could also utilize the Mountain and River Martial Soul to analyze and comprehend, and the main body’s memories were shared, so the benefits Ling Xiao gained from the previous war could be utilized by the avatars as well.

Therefore, training in Martial Skills, using avatars, proved to be quite effective.
