Chapter 601: Chapter 601 Heavenly Pulse Divine Stone_1

”It’s actually the Heavenly Pulse Divine Stone! And it’s this huge!”

No wonder Ling Xiao was surprised; the Heavenly Pulse Divine Stone was just too precious.

As the name suggests, the Heavenly Pulse Divine Stone was clearly related to the Heavenly Pulse.

According to the rumors, possessing a Heavenly Pulse Divine Stone could not only increase the success rate of condensing nine Martial Meridians into a Heavenly Pulse by more than fifty percent.

More importantly, after the condensation, the Heavenly Pulse would become incredibly powerful, more robust and larger in capacity than the Martial Veins of martial artists of the same realm.

No one knew how this stone was formed.

But the function of the Heavenly Pulse Divine Stone was recorded in the annals.

According to the Moon Hua Sect’s records, the Heavenly Pulse Divine Stone was extremely rare, and it was said to have been completely depleted thousands of years ago.

For Ling Xiao to get a piece of the Heavenly Pulse Divine Stone was to strike it big.

It can be said without exaggeration that if someone were to sell the Heavenly Pulse Divine Stone now, a piece the size of a palm could fetch a price of at least one hundred thousand Upper-grade Spirit Stones.

Those were Upper-grade Spirit Stones!

One must know that the disciples of the current sects mostly still used Low-grade Spirit Stones, and even Middle-grade Spirit Stones were hard to come by.

And the Heavenly Pulse Divine Stone that Ling Xiao found was a hundred times the size of an adult’s palm—how many Upper-grade Spirit Stones would that be worth?

If he used it himself, just one percent of it would be enough, and he could sell the rest to exchange for a large number of Upper-grade Spirit Stones.

With that thought, Ling Xiao didn’t hesitate any longer and urgently commanded the Extraordinary Swordsman to haul up the Heavenly Pulse Divine Stone from the depths of the Cold Pond.

However, Ling Xiao was too focused on the Cold Pond to notice the giant, dark green pupils in the nearby thicket, staring intently at him.

The distance between them was a good five to six hundred meters.

This distance might seem far to ordinary people, but for Transcendent Realm Martial Artists, it was just a stone’s throw away.

The giant, dark green pupils were slowly approaching Ling Xiao, seemingly unwilling to startle their prey.

Ling Xiao’s True Essence Ball could only extend to a hundred meters at most; the distance was too great, and he couldn’t detect it.

Unless he intentionally searched for it.

But his entire attention was now focused inside the Cold Pond, completely unaware of the threat behind him.

Boom!

Suddenly, a huge black shadow attacked Ling Xiao from behind at an unimaginably fast speed, as if it had reached his vicinity in just an instant.

”Extraordinary Swordsman!”

In that critical moment, it was Ling Xiao’s rich combat experience that saved his life.

The instant he felt the threat, the Extraordinary Swordsman also just happened to burst out from the Cold Pond.

In a split second, Ling Xiao switched places with the Extraordinary Swordsman.

The huge black shadow struck the Extraordinary Swordsman.

The dignified Half-step Celestial was instantly killed.

Ling Xiao didn’t dare to stay, so after collecting the Heavenly Pulse Divine Stone, he spread out the Golden Dragon Wings and soared toward the basin’s airspace.

Having obtained the Heavenly Pulse Divine Stone, he was already content. Now, he just wanted to find a way to snatch some more benefits from another place and then make a clean getaway.

During the escape, Ling Xiao looked back for a moment.

In that fleeting glimpse, Ling Xiao’s scalp tingled with fright.

What came into view was a mammoth centipede with a dark green body, its girth four to five times thicker than a well’s mouth, and its length was approximately twenty meters. It was covered with dark green hard shells that seemed even stronger than Ling Xiao’s Heavenly Dragon Scale Armor.

On both sides of the centipede’s body, there were two rows of densely packed legs and feet, all with many sharp spikes that seemed like keen blades.

This was far from being some ordinary centipede—it was like the progenitor of all centipedes!

And it was also ridiculously oversized.

Roar!

The centipede’s mouth issued a roar akin to that of a wild beast while crazy True Essence leaked out, causing fierce winds to ravage the entire jungle.

Even the nearby Cold Pond couldn’t withstand this pressure, starting to churn incessantly as if it could erupt like a volcano at any moment.

Ling Xiao was fast.

Especially after deploying the Golden Dragon Wings, his speed was even faster.

Although the Justice Pendant had ceased to function and disappeared after killing the Ancient Ship King and the members of the Black Spirit Organization, he was still an Extraordinary Realm Eighth Layer Peak Martial Artist.

Moreover, his True Essence was incomparably profound, unmatched within the Transcendent Realm.

His speed was likely unbeatable within the Transcendent Realm, as well.

But now, he was being chased by this giant centipede, and the distance between them was closing.

The centipede merely lifted its head gently, and in a flash, it was barely ten meters from Ling Xiao, opening its gaping maw wide to bite at him.

”Ice and Snow Storm!”

Without a second thought, Ling Xiao summoned the Ice Dragon Sword and thrust out with it.

He was using the strongest move from the Snow Lotus Sword Technique.

As his cultivation level increased, the class of the Snow Lotus Sword Technique seemed somewhat low, yet it still remained Ling Xiao’s most purely mastered sword skill.

The howling blizzard whipped towards the giant centipede.

But the centipede opened its mouth and, astonishingly, blew out a green-colored tornado.

Bang!

The two forces collided, and the Ice and Snow Storm was instantaneously shattered, followed by Ling Xiao feeling an impact hit him, flinging him dozens of feet away.

It was terrifying!

The attacking power of this centipede was simply insane.

In front of its attack, the Ice and Snow Storm was no match at all.

Luckily, Ling Xiao’s defenses were strong enough; otherwise, that single blow could have directly claimed his life.

Even so, he was seriously injured and, taking advantage of the force from the impact, he hastened his escape.

”Is this the horror of the giant beasts that Changge spoke of? Indeed, it is. Fortunately, I had the Justice Pendant before, allowing me to kill the Ancient Ship King in a single strike; otherwise, I probably would have died back then.”

Ling Xiao’s heart still held some fear as he tossed a handful of Upper-grade True Essence Pills into his mouth and then hastened his ascent at greater speed.

The dark green giant centipede didn’t pause for a moment. After attacking, it continued its relentless pursuit, closing the gap once more that had just been created.

Crack!

In a critical moment, Ling Xiao performed the Cloud Dragon Divine Movement and narrowly avoided the giant centipede’s strike.

The centipede bit onto the cliffside, its immense jaws cutting through the rock as easily as tofu, and then the surrounding boulders actually began to melt!

Ling Xiao barely caught his breath when the centipede’s attack came again.

Its massive tail lifted and then harshly swung, trying to smack Ling Xiao directly against the cliffside.

”Heavenly Thunder Phenomenon, Ice and Snow Storm!”

This time, Ling Xiao was slightly more prepared than before, so he invoked the Heavenly Thunder Phenomenon.

The same Ice and Snow Storm, infused with the power of the Celestial Phenomenon, had its might increased several times over. Amid thunderous roars, the Ice and Snow Storm charged towards the giant centipede.

Clang!

A sword imbued with the force of thunder and a blizzard struck heavily onto the tail of the giant centipede.

In that instant, huge sparks were produced, wildly scattering in all directions.

However, even so, Ling Xiao’s sword strike still failed to break through the giant centipede’s defenses, not even leaving the slightest mark.

It merely slowed down the opponent’s attack, and using this blow, Ling Xiao escaped even faster.
