Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Chapter 579: Chapter 579 Breaking Through Desperation_1

At the same time that Tantai Lingzi encountered trouble, Leng Hao at the fourth challenge also faced pursuit.

Leng Hao’s luck was even better than Shangguan Lei’s; he obtained two Immortal-grade Treasures, one a weapon and the other armor.

Additionally, he had a set of Gold-top Level Martial Arts and a gourd filled with pills for restoring True Essence.

These pills were incredibly important for him right now.

Previously, in order to obtain those items, he had become extremely exhausted, with his True Essence nearly depleted.

Thanks to the armor from the Immortal-grade Treasure, he withstood a blow from a Half-step Celestial at fifty percent strength. Although he spat blood from the hit, he wasn’t eliminated, and now he was fleeing with heavy steps.

He didn’t want to give up.

Because the longer he held on, the more Moonlight Points he would receive as a reward.

Leng Hao truly lived up to his reputation as a genius, as his performance in this instance was classic compared to Shangguan Lei.

Incredibly, he used the same method as Ling Xiao, relying on a deathtrap to kill the Half-step Celestial that was after him.

Of course, compared to Ling Xiao, he was a bit less skilled, given that Ling Xiao had killed a true Heavenly People realm guardian.

But no matter how you look at it, the brilliance of a genius shone through.

If anything was to blame, it was just that Ling Xiao was a bit too monstrous.

”Good, the pursuer’s been killed, now I can finally catch a breather and see what other good items I can get.”

Leng Hao wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and quickly found a safe place to start healing. As long as he recovered from his injuries, he could potentially continue his trial and obtain even better items.

After he recovered from his injuries, Leng Hao pressed on but unexpectedly, just after he had gotten a Transcendent Pill, he encountered an even more terrifying pursuit.

Transcendent Pills are better than Top-grade True Yuan Pills for replenishing and enhancing True Essence, typically middle or high Yellow Grade pills.

Such pills were something no one in the Moon Hua Sect could refine.

Yuan Venerate could refine them, but he was not a member of the Moon Hua Sect.

It must be said, obtaining this item was incredibly lucky for Leng Hao.

Despite the presence of many treasures, he didn’t get greedy and turned to flee instead.

This time’s monster was a Half-step Celestial using sixty percent of its power, stronger than the previous one; if he didn’t run, it would be death!

At the same time, Dai Yuling had come across the biggest opportunity of her life.

This opportunity could potentially transform her from an ordinary disciple into a truly astounding genius!

Of course, it was only a possibility.

Whether she could seize this chance was still unknown.

Elsewhere, Ling Xiao was still analyzing the situation in the Land of Ten Thousand Thunderbolts. After almost a day’s worth of analysis, he finally made some headway.

”The flaw has been found. Now it’s time to break through!”

The weakness within the Land of Ten Thousand Thunderbolts, unlike man-made Array Formations, required control to be exploited. Otherwise, under natural law, once a flaw was discovered, it would be fixed promptly.

Ling Xiao might be able to get in but might not be able to get out.

So Ling Xiao decided to take control of the flaw first.

He wasn’t yet qualified to control the entire Land of Ten Thousand Thunderbolts, but just one weakness shouldn’t be too big a problem.

Hm?

Just as he planned to take control of the weakness, Ling Xiao frowned and stood up suddenly.

Trouble had come again.

Spending a long time outside the Land of Ten Thousand Thunderbolts, it was impossible not to attract the attention of the fourth challenge’s monsters.

The monsters of the fourth challenge were all very peculiar, not giant beasts or fierce animals, but mostly humanoid monsters.

But even the weakest was a Half-step Celestial at ten percent strength.

This time the one targeting Ling Xiao was a Half-step Celestial at fifty percent strength.

It was clear that this guy was not planning to let him focus on analyzing and controlling the weaknesses of the Land of Ten Thousand Thunderbolts.

”I don’t have time to play with you!”

Ling Xiao thought for a moment, then directly summoned the Book of Seals and released the Black Dragon King and the Dream Illusion Girl.

The Dream Illusion Girl could only be used once and belonged to a Transcendent Realm Ninth Layer powerhouse, but she had one special trait, which was to create illusions to affect enemies.

The Black Dragon King was a Half-step Celestial with ten percent strength, but if he entered the Black Dragon Form, he could reach the full strength of a Half-step Celestial.

Individually, neither of them could take on a Half-step Celestial at fifty percent strength, but together, it might not be the same story.

”Release · Dream Illusion Girl!”

”Release · Black Dragon King!”

”Stop that guy, try to kill him if you can.”

After giving the orders, Ling Xiao sat down cross-legged once more and continued with his task.

He had a feeling that within the Land of Ten Thousand Thunderbolts lay a great opportunity, one that was incredibly useful to him and absolutely not to be missed.

As for what exactly this opportunity was, that was yet to be known.

He didn’t yet have the ability to see it so quickly.

”Control!”

Another shichen passed, and suddenly Ling Xiao’s eyes burst open as a powerful surge of Soul Power, in the form of Mountain River Will, was injected into the weakness.

Success!

Under his control, the weakness could now be sealed or opened at will.

This meant that the Land of Ten Thousand Thunderbolts had essentially become a place he could enter and exit freely.

He glanced at the Dream Illusion Girl and the Black Dragon King, they had both perished in battle.

However, the Half-step Celestial at fifty percent strength had also fallen.

They had all perished together.

He tried to seal the Half-step Celestial at fifty percent strength into a Seal Card, and to his surprise, it was a success.

This led to a conclusion.

The Book of Seals now belonged to him, and the enemies killed by the monsters inside the Book of Seals were essentially as if slain by him, that’s why he could seal them.

”Extraordinary Swordsman, fifty percent strength Half-step Celestial, can be used three times.”

This was the new information that appeared on the card.

He wondered if he could seal the Heavenly People realm gatekeeper; if he could, that would be impressive.

With that thought, Ling Xiao immediately entered the Land of Ten Thousand Thunderbolts through the flaw, finding the conditions inside completely different from the outside.

There were virtually no thunder and lightning storms here; only at the mountaintop was there a thunder and lightning storm, more ferocious than the one outside for some reason.

He glanced at it, then went looking for the body fragments of the Heavenly People realm gatekeeper.

Although the gatekeeper had been blasted to dust, the Crescent Blade had not been shattered. He hadn’t noticed before, but this weapon was actually a high-grade Immortal-grade Treasure.

The Crescent Blade still bore the gatekeeper’s residual soul and some body fragments. He attempted to seal it, but the outcome was somewhat disheartening.

”Within the same supreme realm, martial artists can only seal creatures of the same realm, and they must be personally slain; those killed by environmental means do not count.”

This meant that as a Transcendent Realm Martial Artist, Ling Xiao could only seal creatures from the Transcendent Realm.

Half-step Celestials were actually part of the Transcendent Realm martial artists; it was just that as they approached the Heavenly People realm, they received such a denomination.

Moreover, Ling Xiao had killed that being using the Land of Ten Thousand Thunderbolts, so it didn’t count as his own kill.

He didn’t meet either condition, so sealing was out of the question.

”Tsk!”

Ling Xiao shook his head in disappointment, then turned his gaze towards the mountaintop.
