Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Chapter 328: Chapter 328 Sky-covering Big Hand_1

Guanghan Celestial Venerate was not willing to clash with Demonflame Celestial.

That was because, in terms of cultivation level, she and Demonflame Celestial were evenly matched, but when it came to combat power, she feared she was truly no match for him.

If he really had decided to attack, then she would definitely have been injured.

Therefore, when Demonflame Celestial left, she naturally breathed a sigh of relief.

However, suddenly, her face changed drastically.

Just as she had relaxed slightly, a Sky-covering Big Hand in the sky fiercely struck down towards Ling Xiao.

All she could manage was to weaken the strength of this hand, but she could not completely block it.

The terrifying power struck directly above Ling Xiao’s head.

Ling Xiao had thought himself doomed, believing that even if this palm held only one-tenth of Demonflame Celestial’s power, it was not something he could endure.

But in that moment, his Mountain and River Martial Soul spun wildly, and the fusion with his soul seemed to increase madly.

When the palm struck his head, he seemed to see a figure standing behind him, and then meeting the palm head-on.

That person looked exactly like him!

Boom~~

Following a huge booming sound, Ling Xiao completely lost consciousness.

When he regained consciousness from his coma, the ones watching over him were Dai Yuling and Lan Yu’er.

Dai Yuling’s face was streaked with tears as if laden with raindrops.

Lan Yu’er was not faring any better.

Seeing him wake up, the two girls pounced joyfully like happy magpies, no longer minding the distinction between men and women, and tightly grabbed his hand.

”You really scared us to death, you’ve been unconscious for a full three days and nights!”

Lan Yu’er said, crying and laughing at the same time, elated beyond measure.

”Three days and nights?”

Ling Xiao gave a wry smile, feeling that it was just a momentary affair, but it turned out to have been three days and nights already, truly a waste of time.

”Yes, you don’t know, because of what happened to you, Guanghan Celestial Venerate and Elder Master Yang went directly to Volcano Palace and fought Demonflame Celestial into severe injury. In the end, if not for the people from the Enforcement Hall stepping in to stop it, Demonflame Celestial would have been killed.”

Dai Yuling excitedly said.

”Elder Yang and Guanghan Elder are okay, right?”

Ling Xiao quickly asked.

”They are also injured, but as you know, Elder Master Yang is also the Medicine Hall Master, so such injuries aren’t a big deal to him. As for Demonflame Celestial, he’ll probably need at least a month to recover. This time he disregarded his Elder status, and by attacking an Outer Disciple like you, he has violated the rules of the Sect.”

Lan Yu’er sighed and said, ”What’s infuriating is that someone in the Enforcement Hall actually shielded Demonflame Celestial, claiming he’s a genius rarely seen in the Sect for a century. Since he’s already injured, he won’t be punished any further, and they even sent him to the Moon Blossom Pagoda to recuperate and cultivate.”

”As long as Elder Yang and Guanghan Elder are okay, then it’s good.”

Ling Xiao was just an Outer Disciple and had no say in the Enforcement Hall’s decisions; what he cared most about was the safety of the two Elders who had sought revenge on his behalf.

Of course, there was also his master, Yuan Venerate, but he couldn’t ask that question.

”Help me up, I want to go see Elder Yang.”

Ling Xiao was still worried about his master; he believed that if Master Yuan Venerate had not intervened, Yang Dan Lin and Guanghan Celestial Venerate might not have been able to severely injure Demonflame Celestial when joining forces.

”You might as well forget about it. Elder Master Yang asked me to tell you ’Master’s fine.’ Did you really become his disciple?”

Lan Yu’er asked, puzzled.

”Master’s fine?”

Ling Xiao breathed a sigh of relief. The master referred to by Yang Dan Lin was naturally Yuan Venerate.

”No issues then, I really do need a good rest,” said Ling Xiao.

Speaking thus, he closed his eyes; he wanted to check the condition of his body.

Because during his time at Guanghan Palace, when the Sky-covering Big Hand of Demonflame Celestial came crashing down, he distinctly felt something within his body undergo a change.

However, when he looked internally at his body, he discovered that apart from the fusion rate between his Mountain and River Martial Soul and his soul nearly reaching ninety-nine percent, there was no other oddity with his Mountain and River Martial Soul.

Additionally, his Heavenly Dragon Golden Body continued to strengthen, reaching the tenth stage, just half a step away from smoothly advancing to the fifth level.

With his current state, even relying solely on his body’s power, he could kill ordinary warriors in the first level of the Transcendent Realm.

This was indeed a significant gain.

Not only had the palm strike from the Demonflame Celestial not killed him, but it had also turned his misfortune into a blessing—an outcome the Demonflame Celestial had certainly not anticipated.

Only one more step to be promoted!

Ling Xiao’s current situation was such that his Soul Power was frighteningly strong, to the extent that even the soul of a Heavenly Person Realm Expert might not be stronger than his.

In terms of cultivation level, he had already reached the storage of ninety-nine percent of Half-step Grandmaster.

Physically, his Heavenly Dragon Golden Body was also just a little short of entering the fifth layer.

It could be said that once the Heavenly Dragon Golden Body made a breakthrough, he could step into the Transcendent Realm at any time.

But now it lacked that last bit, which required the right opportunity, something that couldn’t be rushed.

However, he was not in a hurry. Once he entered the Inner Sect, he would face Hei Suo directly, so he needed to solidify his foundation so that upon advancing to the first level of the Transcendent Realm, he wouldn’t need to fear Hei Suo.

Therefore, a breakthrough in the Heavenly Dragon Golden Body was indispensable!

Over the following half a month, Ling Xiao spent all his time recovering from his injuries.

The attacks from a Heavenly Person Realm Expert were terrifying. Despite his strong recovery abilities, it still took him a full half-month to truly completely recover.

Yet, this recovery phase was also crucial for him.

His cultivation level had risen too quickly of late, inevitably leading to some issues here and there.

So he took every opportunity to use the Mountain and River Martial Soul’s analytical and practice capabilities to resolve all issues in his training.

This included solving issues with the application of martial skills that were slightly off.

On the day he was supposed to recover, Ling Xiao had planned to visit Elder Master Yang and Guanghan Celestial Venerate, but both were in seclusion, so he didn’t make the trip.

Interestingly enough, within the Outer Sect, someone actually issued a challenge to him.

One was Zhao Zhi, and another was Zhao Ci.

In addition, there were several other disciples previously ranked in the top ten of the Outer Disciples.

Of course, these were just challenges within the Outer Sect, not life and death battles.

Ling Xiao had no deep grudges with these people. Taking this opportunity to practice some of the ideas in his mind wasn’t a bad thing at all.

Therefore, he welcomed the challenges from all comers.

As a result, he inadvertently broke another record.

In one day, he accepted challenges from as many as thirty Outer Disciples, and all these disciples were Half-step Grandmasters.

Especially Zhao Zhi, who was now second in the Outer Sect. He could have advanced to the Transcendent Realm and entered the Inner Sect earlier, but he purposely suppressed his cultivation level when he realized the benefits of steady progress from observing Ling Xiao.

This was actually a very smart move; otherwise, once one entered the Inner Sect, they would have to start from the very bottom.

But by accumulating strength before entering the Inner Sect, at least they wouldn’t be the weakest, and thus they would not fare too poorly.
