Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Chapter 477: Chapter 477: Earth Spirit Core_1

”This is the place!”

A terrifying azure energy surged out from Ling Xiao’s body.

It was the energy belonging to Moon Lady, which had been absorbed by the Ten Thousand Evil Beast Soul Spear.

At this moment, Ling Xiao, using a forbidden secret technique taught to him by Yuan Venerate, had augmented this energy onto himself.

This formidable energy was enough to allow him to maintain strength close to that of a Half-step Celestial for one shichen.

And such a secret technique could only be used once a year, and only by martial artists with exceptionally outstanding physical conditions.

Any ordinary martial artist would have certainly exploded and died.

A Half-step Celestial, how truly terrifying this strength was!

Ling Xiao believed that if he used this power to strike down Wang She, he could definitely kill it with one move.

However, using it against Wang She would be too wasteful.

If it weren’t for the fact that the opponent might very well be the powerful Evil Beast Demon King, Ling Xiao would not be joking with his own body.

This secret technique was one of the forbidden secret techniques, which caused severe damage to the body; one would be nearly completely paralyzed after a shichen, with no fighting strength left whatsoever.

If he hadn’t dealt with the opponent by then, he would be finished first.

Looking over at the nearby battle, Moon Lady obviously had the advantage, but the puppets created by the Evil Beast Demon King, though weaker, were fearless in their ferocity, and couldn’t be easily dealt with in a short time.

Ling Xiao took only a moment to break the magic array set up by the Evil Beast Demon King; the array was nothing compared to the previous Ten Thousand Beasts Blood Refining Array and posed no problem for him.

Having entered the lair of the Evil Beast Demon King, it was still a cave.

It was unclear why, but these martial artists seemed to prefer living in caves once they were out in the open, rather than building houses.

Logically speaking, martial artists of the Transcendent Realm generally possessed Storage Rings and could easily build quite nice houses in the wild with just some materials.

Inside the cave, the lighting was very dim, and there was no Light-absorbing Array.

After all, it was the Evil Beast Demon King, who could probably see clearly even in the pitch-black night, so perhaps it thought the Light-absorbing Array was useless.

Along the way, there were quite a few weapons on the ground; some already shattered, some stained with blood, and most of them were either Ordinary Treasures or Fine Treasures.

There were even quite a few Precious Treasure Artifacts.

The Evil Beast Demon King probably didn’t care for these, so after killing the martial artists, it must have discarded them carelessly; only treasures above Immortal Grade could catch its interest.

The Evil Beast Demon King might not cherish them, but Ling Xiao certainly did.

He collected all these treasures directly into the Mountain and River World; with these items, his set of thirty-six Tiangang Swords could be fully crafted into Precious Treasure Artifacts.

As for the rest, they would still be sent to the Divine Sword Sect.

The more powerful the Divine Sword Sect became, the greater his reliance on it in the future.

It was probably the appearance of Moon Lady that made the Evil Beast Demon King feel threatened, so it had sent out all its guards to block her.

In any case, as he made his way, Ling Xiao did not see a single guard and encountered no danger.

His walking was extremely light, and his excellent Body Movement Technique, Cloud Dragon Divine Movement, allowed him to move without making any sound, passing by like a ghost.

Inside the cave, which was clearly modified, there were three forks, each leading in a different direction.

If it were someone else, even choosing a path would be troublesome.

But to Ling Xiao, that was completely not a problem; threads of golden light shone from his eyes as his vision pierced through the walls, extending towards the ends of the three paths.

The path to the right, his gaze stopped just over twenty meters from the end.

Because Ling Xiao didn’t dare to go any further, that was where the wounded Evil Beast Demon King was.

The beast was actually wrapped in a giant cocoon, presumably repairing its body.

The middle path led to a jail.

The jail held many powerful martial artists, some from the Transcendent Realm, some from the Heavenly Man Realm, and even martial artists from the Cave Heaven Realm!

These people were probably the Evil Beast Demon King’s food reserves; the creature was really cruel.

At the end of the path on the left side, there was nothing else but an irregular, huge stone, exuding a thick, earthy yellow luster, feeling very mystical.

”Earth Spirit-Origin Stone!”

Ling Xiao showed a pleased expression.

He had seen the Earth Spirit-Origin Stone in the books given to him by Yuan Venerate, and along with previously encountering it used by the Evil Beast Demon King, the aura was exactly the same.

Indeed, it was like finding something effortlessly after tirelessly searching for it.

His sneaky entry into this place was for no other reason than seeking two things.

One was the Beast Spirit of the Evil Beast Demon King, and the other was the Earth Spirit-Origin Stone.

After considering, he walked towards the path on the left.

Naturally, the passage was still protected by an array formation, the Evil Beast Demon King was very cautious, but unfortunately, even with the Magic Array’s protection, it was insignificant for Ling Xiao.

It didn’t take him much time to dismantle the magic array, and then he reached the location of the Earth Spirit-Origin Stone.

”Quick, let me out!”

Suddenly, the slumbering Yuan Venerate in the Beast Ring called out.

Ling Xiao released Yuan Venerate, and with a curious smile said, ”Master, you’re not tired anymore, huh?”

”Nonsense, I didn’t expect to find an Earth Spirit Core here, hahaha, you really have great luck, kid.”

Once Yuan Venerate emerged, his eyes were fixed on that stone, and Ling Xiao could definitely confirm that his master’s eyes had never been so wide open before.

”Earth Spirit Core? Isn’t this an Earth Spirit-Origin Stone?” Ling Xiao was suddenly stunned.

He had always thought this was an Earth Spirit-Origin Stone, otherwise, he wouldn’t have come; he didn’t expect it to be different.

”Strictly speaking, this is still a kind of Earth Spirit-Origin Stone, but it belongs to the fine category within Earth Spirit-Origin Stones!”

Yuan Venerate clicked his tongue and continued, ”It’s quite difficult for Earth Spirit-Origin Stones to be born in the first place, only in places with abundant Spiritual Qi like Dragon Veins are they found, and even then, in small quantities.

But an Earth Spirit Core is the essence born at the moment when the sun and moon shine together, even rarer!

If the probability of a Dragon Vein’s appearance is one percent, the chance for a top-quality Dragon Vein is one in a thousand, the chance for an Earth Spirit-Origin Stone might be one in ten thousand, and for an Earth Spirit Core, the probability might reach one in a hundred thousand!”

”That precious!”

Ling Xiao marveled.

”Exactly, and because it’s so precious, its effects are much better than ordinary Earth Spirit-Origin Stones. You really struck it rich, kid.

When cultivating, if you use this Earth Spirit Core, the effect will be more than tenfold.

Moreover, the True Essence condensed will be purer. It is said that some martial artists skilled in Body Refining could even use the Earth Spirit Core to cultivate into an ’Earth Spirit Body,’ not only greatly enhancing defense, but also improving the efficiency of absorbing Earth Spirit Power!

There are legends that the Mountain and River Martial Soul is based on this planet’s Martial Soul, and the Earth Spirit Body facilitates its use even more; too bad your luck isn’t heaven-defying enough. If you had acquired the Mountain and River Martial Soul, it would have been even more wonderful.”
