All People: I Slay Gods with Martial Arts

9: Chapter 9 Transcendent Great Perfection, Divine Void RealmThe mountain Peak was very high, thrusting above the clouds.

It spanned no more than two li.

An ancient tower sat at the center of the Peak. It had only nine levels, and its height did not pierce the sky as Feng Li had previously described; instead, it was less than a hundred meters tall.

By Ye Xiu’s estimation, the distance between each level of the ancient tower was about nine meters.

Nine levels, nine meters.

Was there some significance to this?

He withstood the pressure and strode toward the ancient tower. The invisible pressure grew heavier as he advanced.

”Is one hundred meters the limit?”

Looking at the entrance of the ancient tower not far away, the pressure on Ye Xiu had already reached its limit, and his bones were cracking and popping all over his body.

The intensity of the pressure was simply indescribable.

If the previous Feng Li were to come here, he would likely be crushed into a pulp of flesh and blood in an instant.

Ye Xiu’s whole body trembled as he slowly took a step forward.

Boom.

The invisible pressure caused his chest to vibrate, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

With the pressure increasing sharply, he found it difficult to lift his feet.

”My Bloodline is the head of the Top Ten Martial Sages, how could I not withstand even this much pressure?” Ye Xiu thought fiercely. He did not believe that the Heaven-Breaking Martial Body could not withstand even this little bit of pressure.

He took another step forward.

The cracking and popping sounds of his bones were continuous.

But a miraculous scene appeared.

His Physical Body was gradually adapting to this intensity of pressure. His blood energy was regenerating, his bones and flesh were restructuring, and his Physical Body’s strength and defensive capabilities were rapidly increasing.

As he took step after step.

The cracking sounds within Ye Xiu’s body were incessant.

In just a few minutes, he was dyed red with blood, turning into a blood-soaked figure.

Pain... So painful...

The bone-deep pain made Ye Xiu’s pace very slow, and every step he took left a blood-red footprint.

Ten minutes passed.

He had only walked a distance of ten meters.

When he stepped the eleventh meter, with a boom, his original Transcendence Realm Eighth Grade cultivation, under the high-intensity pressure, broke through to the Transcendence Realm Ninth Grade stage.

Without any supply of resource energy, he broke through purely by relying on the immense pressure.

The pain on his body decreased slightly.

His Physical Body improved in all aspects, which made the pressure on him much less.

The Physical Body of a Ninth Grade Transcendence Realm was much stronger than at the Eighth Grade, allowing him to catch his breath slightly amidst this boundless pressure.

Three minutes later.

Ye Xiu took another step.

One meter, three meters, five meters...

This time, with the Physique of a Ninth Grade Transcendence Realm, he only walked another ten meters.

The pressure that had previously crushed his bones returned.

Crackle, pop...

His bones and muscles exploded with sound again, and the terrifying noise brought with it intense pain.

”I refuse to accept this...”

Ye Xiu cursed inwardly, gritted his teeth, and persisted, continuing to take steps forward toward the ancient tower.

As the head of the Top Ten Martial Sages Bloodlines, the Heaven-Breaking Martial Body was even superior to the various holy bodies of the Yao Race. If he couldn’t even withstand this bit of pressure, then if he died here today, he would have nothing to say.

After all, what supported him to keep walking all the way was his confidence in the [Heaven-Breaking Martial Body].

Being able to suppress those Yao Race Physiques that were already at the [Mingdao Realm] upon taking human form, he truly did not believe that this kind of divine body had nothing special about it.

His steps continued with difficulty.

The short distance of a few dozen meters actually took nearly an hour.

At this moment, he was still nearly fifty meters away from the ancient tower.

The pressure had also reached his limit of endurance.

Boom, boom...

Explosive sounds appeared on his body. The powerful pressure had even begun to crush his flesh into a pulp, dissolving it into his Physical Body.

The crackling and popping sounds rang out on the mountain Peak.

Ye Xiu’s advancing figure was shrouded in blood mist; that was the state of his blood energy being compressed and exploded under extreme pressure.

He was still persisting, ignoring the flesh on his body that was gradually being crushed.

The entrance to the ancient tower was getting closer and closer.

Forty meters... Thirty meters... Ten meters...

At this moment, Ye Xiu was miserable; his entire body was left with only ghastly white bones, as his flesh had almost all been crushed by the invisible pressure.

His blood energy was dried up, and his internal organs were gone.

In this skeletal state, he should have died long ago.

But strangely, he had not died.

Apart from his mental state being tortured to extreme exhaustion, his consciousness had not dissipated.

”Seven meters left...”

With a skeleton devoid of flesh, he could no longer see anything, and the sensation of pain had long since been lost along with the dissolution of his muscles.

At this moment, Ye Xiu had no path of retreat to speak of.

Relying on intuition, he continued to walk forward. The ghastly white bones were extremely terrifying under the sunlight.

Five meters... Three meters... One meter...

The skeleton was trembling and already showed signs of cracking.

”Did I bet wrong?”

Ye Xiu sighed in his heart.

Stepping this step might very well lead to his death and Dao dissipation.

But he had no path of retreat left. Even with the miraculous nature of the Heaven-Breaking Martial Body that allowed him to remain alive in a skeletal state, all his own senses had already vanished.

In this era of Spiritual Qi revival, he had almost been deprived of the opportunity to become stronger.

At this moment, he could only stake everything on one throw.

He stepped forward fiercely.

Boom.

The skeleton collapsed and shattered; the terrifying pressure was unimaginably powerful.

Crack...

The moment the last bone disappeared.

The sound of a heartbeat suddenly rang out. Above the mountain Peak, in the clear sky and bright daylight, rosy clouds appeared.

Spiritual Qi was gathering.

It seemed as if a great power was manipulating the universe, causing Ye Xiu, who had already completely vanished, to begin to reconstitute.

This state only lasted for three minutes.

Ye Xiu’s figure reappeared outside the ancient tower.

”Indeed, one must face death to find life.”

Feeling the power that had improved once again in his Physical Body, Ye Xiu was slightly shocked. It was worthy of being the Bloodline ranked at the head of the Top Ten Martial Sages; besides being able to gradually become stronger with pressure, it could even revive in desperate situations.

Moreover, this Physique could actually allow him to remain alive while in a skeletal state.

This was somewhat miraculous.

[Ye Xiu] [Bloodline: Heaven-Breaking Martial Body] [Realm: Divine Void Realm] [Legacy Cultivation Technique: Primordial Martial Arts General Outline] [Legacy Martial Skill: Pride of the World]

”After my Physical Body restructured, I broke through to Transcendence Ninth Grade, but what kind of Realm is the Divine Void Realm?” Ye Xiu introspected at the character panel in his Sea of Consciousness, with many doubts in his heart.

After this breaking and then rebuilding.

His strength had increased tremendously. Besides the power of his Physical Body, the Qi he had condensed throughout his body had reached at least 20 Dragon power.

This was an extremely terrifying value.

If his previous Nine Dragon power at the Transcendence Realm Ninth Grade was the Peak that the Transcendence Realm could reach, then this [Divine Void Realm] was a full twice as strong as the Peak Transcendence Realm, not to mention the ordinary Ninth Grade Transcendence Realm Cultivators who didn’t even have one Dragon power.

It could be said.

If the [Divine Void Realm] could also be considered a rank within the Transcendence Realm, then at this moment, Ye Xiu had directly cultivated the Transcendence Realm to a flawless Great Perfection stage.

Besides this.

After reaching the [Divine Void Realm].

The Legacy Martial Skill, [Pride of the World], had also been activated.

This kind of Legacy Martial Skill was a martial art originating from his Bloodline, and its source was very likely from a Martial Venerable of the Primordial era.

It was very strong.

Once unleashed, it could gather all the blood energy in his body and blast out a heaven-shocking strike.

The amplification of his Qi could reach as much as five times.

It was the ultimate of ultimate moves.
