Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Chapter 467: Chapter 467: The Martial Soul of the Moon_1

”Gulp!”

Ling Xiao forcefully swallowed a mouthful of saliva. The power was too shocking, he was still three or four miles away from the battlefield, yet he felt as if he were an ordinary person walking against a terrifying typhoon, struggling not only to breathe but also to take even a single step.

”This is what a true powerhouse, a true martial artist is!”

Ling Xiao’s heart was brimming with excitement.

All along, he had yearned to become strong, but he never had a proper reference.

At first, he thought the Ling Family elder, a Martial Vein Realm Seventh Level martial artist, was powerful, but he was wrong;

Then, he believed Lin Ze, at the Martial Vein Realm Ninth Layer Peak, was a strong fighter, but he still wasn’t one;

Later, when he met Master Baiyun of the Transcendent Realm, he thought he’d seen all there was to the world, that this was the most fearsome kind of martial artist, yet he couldn’t be more mistaken;

It was only upon encountering Hei Suo that he gradually understood the Transcendent Realm was merely the beginning of a martial artist’s journey.

Powerhouses like the Demonflame Celestial were the truly strong ones, capable of obscuring the heavens with one hand, effortlessly taking a person’s life.

Now, he found his past self to be ridiculous.

The path of a martial artist truly had no limits.

The stronger you become, the more powerful people you will meet, making the world all the more splendid.

Now, witnessing the battle between these two great powers, he wondered if there were even more terrifying martial artists above them.

The frog at the bottom of the well had finally leaped out, and even though its knowledge had only expanded to a bigger well, at least it knew that it still hadn’t seen the entire sky.

The Mysterious World was vast, Northern Han Kingdom was but a small vassal state of the Human Sacred Dynasty, and the Human Sacred Dynasty was just one of the nations on the Heavenly Dragon Continent.

As for the Heavenly Dragon Continent, it was merely the weakest among the thirteen lands of the current Mysterious World.

Not to mention, beyond the thirteen lands of the Mysterious World, there were countless islands and secret realms.

The Mysterious World really was vast, with many masters, and the strong ones of the Yin-Yang Realm might just be so-so once they leave the Heavenly Dragon Continent.

Ling Xiao took a deep breath as the aura of the Ancient Golden Dragon began to flow into his Martial Veins, and his body gradually entered the Human-Dragon Form.

Under this form, although the pressure was still immense, it was much more bearable than before.

He spread his wings and sped up, flying towards the battle.

When he was a mile away from the battlefield, he finally stopped.

A battle of this level could affect everything within a mile; he certainly didn’t want to court death.

Besides, from this distance, with the abilities bestowed upon him by the Mountain and River Martial Soul, he could already clearly see every minute movement of the fighters.

And hear every slight sound they produced.

He found a place convenient for escaping and quietly hid himself.

He had come simply to observe the battle, not to fight, so the aura he released carried not a trace of killing intent.

Moreover, he used the template of the Mountain and River Martial Soul, making his aura more akin to the trees of the Thousand Ghosts Forest, so even martial artists of that high level were unlikely to detect him.

Watching the battle from such a close distance was truly exhilarating!

That direct sensation made his blood boil with excitement.

The fighters had completely surpassed the limits of existing martial arts, and many of their attacks and defenses were beyond Ling Xiao’s ability to analyze.

The Mountain and River Martial Soul couldn’t do it either.

This showed that the level of the Mountain and River Martial Soul was still too low.

Ever since he learned of the different levels of Martial Souls, he faintly realized that the Mountain and River Martial Soul was only currently at the state of a Complete Soul, Transparent Body.

It belonged to the lowest level of complete Martial Soul state.

Before this Martial Soul fused with his soul, it was merely a Broken Soul.

Interestingly, though, the Mountain and River Martial Soul could accommodate the strongest Martial Souls including those at the Out-of-body level, which speaks volumes of its terror.

Furthermore, the elevation of the Mountain and River Martial Soul fundamentally differed from other Martial Souls.

Each minor increase in its level was divided into ten grades.

Currently, it was at the ninth grade of the Transparent Body with a Complete Soul.

In the past, leveling up the Mountain and River Martial Soul coincided with the rise in Cultivation Level, but now it seemed that was no longer the case.

Ling Xiao had studied it, and now he deemed the Mountain and River Martial Soul to be a true Martial Soul in every sense, as its way of leveling up was the same as most other Martial Souls.

Basically, it could only be elevated through constant battling to accumulate experience or through medicinal means.

Of course, for Ling Xiao, there was another method to level up the Mountain and River Martial Soul, and that was ”Devouring Fusion.”

This was perhaps related to the inherent characteristics of the Mountain and River Martial Soul itself.

Other Martial Souls entering it could generate new entities within the Mountain and River World, thereby also replenishing the energy needed for the Mountain and River Martial Soul to level up.

The significance of the Martial Soul became increasingly crucial later on. It was said that, above the gold-level top martial arts, the Jade Martial Arts were basically all created according to the Martial Souls, hence the increasing role of the Martial Soul in combat.

Although Ling Xiao still couldn’t confirm this fact, he believed it wouldn’t be too far off, so raising the level of the Martial Soul remained critical.

But I digress.

Despite not being able to analyze the martial arts of those two individuals, this was not his purpose in observing the battle.

He simply wanted to experience the combat of these mighty beings up close.

From this distance, the colossal figure of the Three-headed Tiger became even more evident.

Dozens of zhang in body length, its huge form stretched across the sky, standing upon dark clouds, emanating formidable strength.

With every breath it took, the sky would tremble and the clouds would roll.

Ling Xiao didn’t know if this was the true form of the Evil Beast Demon King, but the mere size and fearsome power were enough to dispel his previous thoughts of subjugation.

He simply couldn’t contend with a being of this caliber at present.

If he didn’t want to die, it was better to earnestly cultivate and wait until the day he was nearly at that level before entertaining such thoughts.

On the other hand, the woman’s figure was not tall; in fact, she appeared quite graceful, with a voluptuous and perfect figure.

At that moment, Ling Xiao wasn’t particularly focused on her beauty; what concerned him more was the full moon behind her.

He had never seen such a Martial Soul, nor had he ever heard of it.

A moon as a Martial Soul?

Was this still human?

The woman in her bright aquamarine dress was striking, hugging her perfect figure and accentuating her form.

The longsword in her hand glimmered with blue light, dazzling and clearly not an ordinary item.

Her hair was also of an aquamarine color, falling upon her shoulders like finely cut strands of aquamarine jewels.

Her face was not very clear, as she was completely enveloped in aquamarine True Essence, but that dreamy, hazy feeling only heightened the anticipation.

There she stood, suspended high above the ground, over one thousand meters in the air, standing upon auspicious clouds, like a fairy.

It was said that upon reaching the Cave Heaven Realm, humans could attempt to harness True Essence for flight, but to do so as effortlessly and comfortably as this woman was truly not easy.
