Soul Emperor Martial God

Chapter 1798: Chapter 1798: Limit Compression

Xiao Yi temporarily stopped cultivating and felt the Physical Strength of his body.

His solid and powerful fists clenched tightly.

His intuition told him that if he were to face those demon beasts and puppets from the main round again, even without any buffs, it would be enough to crush everything.

This was where Body Cultivation Martial Artists were terrifying.

With his current Physical Strength, he could probably one-punch insta-kill old Peak of Supreme experts like Jiu Han and Ye Shang.

This was the frightening part of Body Cultivation Martial Artists.

Body Cultivation crushing all other professions was by no means empty talk.

Body Cultivation Martial Artists, besides having that terrifying Physical Strength, also possessed extraordinary physical attributes.

Just this alone, even placed in ordinary Martial Arts, was enough for a Martial Artist to unleash battle power far beyond their original Martial Arts strength.

Like the eruption of Primordial Power.

When a Martial Artist erupts with Primordial Power to a sufficiently torrential degree, if his physical attributes aren’t enough, the body—namely his five viscera and six bowels—simply can’t withstand it.

The Demon Dao requires Body Cultivation as its foundation for this exact reason.

Only Extreme Body Cultivation can achieve the Asura Body.

Only under the Asura Body can one withstand the fusion of another profession and the integration of another vast Martial Arts System, thus achieving the Demon Dao.

Like Asura Fire Control.

What the Demon Dao cultivates must be extremity; Fire Control, naturally, is also the Extreme Fire Dao.

Without a sufficiently strong body, there is no way to withstand the fusion of the Extreme Fire Dao.

The smile on Xiao Yi’s face couldn’t be suppressed.

If his greatest harvest in the main round was learning of the existence of the Demon Dao—

After all, the Demon Dao was a brand-new Cultivation System, powerful to the extreme and astonishing to the limit, usable as a new direction for future cultivation.

—then here, at the end of the Cave Mansion, this third ”useless reward” was actually his greatest harvest.

Yes, the greatest harvest.

In other people’s eyes, just Demon Beast Essence Blood naturally couldn’t compare to those Ancient Treasures.

So the third reward was the most useless, the worst reward.

But to him, this was more precious than any other reward.

Because what he cultivated was the Asura Battle Body, the strongest defiant Body Cultivation Skill under the heavens, and the amount of Demon Beast Essence Blood it required was a terrifying astronomical figure.

If Body Cultivation could crush every other profession—

Then Extreme Body Cultivation would crush all other Body Cultivations.

Only Extreme Body Cultivation could reach the level of Ancient Body Cultivation and be worthy of the name Asura.

And the body granted by the Asura Battle Body was enough to crush all so-called Extreme Body Cultivations.

The so-called Asura, the so-called Ancient Body Cultivators, in front of the Asura Battle Body were probably just a joke.

”Physical Strength, at Supreme 9999 Dao; Asura Battle Body, at the Tenth Layer peak.” Xiao Yi narrowed his eyes slightly.

He could feel that his current body was incomparably perfect.

Perfect to the point of having no flaws, perfect to the point that every part of it was filled with bursting power, invincible.

Just for this alone, his trip to the Ancient Emperor’s Tomb was not in vain.

Another thing—was not that his Fire Control strength, or the powerful flames and Beast Hand in this world, were inferior to his Physical Strength.

It was just that his Cultivation was, in the end, only at Martial Arts Great Power Level, and he had only reached Supreme 9999 Dao Fire Control strength through various buffs.

But his current Physical Strength was genuine, solid Supreme 9999 Dao level.

Naturally, the two couldn’t be compared right now.

As for his Fire Control strength—the Nine Yang Reincarnation Technique, the powerful flames of the world, and so on—Xiao Yi was equally full of anticipation.

In the future, when his Cultivation catches up to his Physical Strength—

Maybe the Body Cultivation Dao and Fire Control Skill will reach a balance.

At that time, he would be able to try cultivating the Demon Dao.

The Demon Dao Restriction only said that with Extreme Body Cultivation and the Extreme Fire Dao, one could fuse the Demon Dao.

Then what kind of Demon Dao existence would it be if the strongest Body Cultivation fused with the strongest Fire Dao?

An expectant smile curled at the corner of Xiao Yi’s lips.

”I wonder if what’s left is enough for another breakthrough.” Xiao Yi slowly restrained his smile and set his gaze on the flowing light.

Within the flowing light, about one-third of the Demon Beast Essence Blood remained.

And now that he possessed Supreme 9999 Dao Physical Strength, his next step would be to step into the Legendary Level.

By then, the Asura Battle Body would completely step into the Eleventh Layer.

However, the gap between the Peak of Supreme and Legend was like a great chasm.

Especially for a Cultivation Technique like the Asura Battle Body; each time he broke through to the next layer, the amount of Asura Power required would be incomparably huge.

Therefore, whether the remaining one-third of the Demon Beast Essence Blood was enough for a breakthrough, even Xiao Yi could not be sure.

”I can only give it a try.” Xiao Yi muttered to himself.

Yet just as he was about to continue absorbing the remaining Demon Beast Essence Blood—

Xiao Yi’s movement suddenly stalled.

In his perception, the Asura Power within his body had just reached 999 drops.

In the past, when his Physical Strength was still at lower stages such as the Earth Extreme Realm, Heavenly Extreme Realm, and Saint Realm, there had also been times when the stored Asura Power had reached 999 drops.

Back then, every time Asura Power reached a thousand drops, it would automatically fuse and leap, then transform into a single drop.

That was also when the Asura Battle Body broke through to a higher layer.

From then on, every new drop of Asura Power he cultivated would be far stronger than the previous ten drops, or even dozens of drops.

Barring accidents, it would be the same now.

Every time Asura Power reached a thousand drops, it would definitely fuse into one.

This was a qualitative change in the Asura Battle Body.

Correspondingly, it matched precisely the qualitative change of Martial Arts Power in Martial Arts Realm.

Like the Earth Extreme Realm, where one first touched and controlled one-tenth of Martial Arts Power.

The Heavenly Extreme Realm, where one controlled the first complete Dao of Martial Arts, also the most important first Dao in a Martial Artist’s life.

These were all qualitative changes in Martial Arts Realm or, in other words, in the Martial Artist himself.

And without a doubt, stepping from the Supreme Realm into Legend was also a qualitative leap for a Martial Artist.

Naturally, it was the same for the Asura Battle Body; once its Physical Strength stepped into the Legendary Level, that too would be a fundamental transformation.

”What if I don’t increase the number of drops for now?” Xiao Yi frowned slightly.

”And instead keep compressing the Asura Power...”

A thought rose in Xiao Yi’s heart, and in just a moment he had decided.

”Absorb.” Xiao Yi let out a low shout.

The Demon Beast Essence Blood within the flowing light was rapidly absorbed.

The Demon Beast Essence Blood entered his body and was converted into Asura Power.

However, this time, under Xiao Yi’s deliberate control, no new Asura Power was condensed.

Instead, he forcibly merged the newly converted Asura Power into the existing 999 drops of Asura Power.

Yes, he chose to continue pushing Asura Power to its extreme compression.

Asura Power, besides being the force used to perform Asura Transformation and Boundary Shattering Fist, was also the source that amplified his Physical Strength.

As long as Asura Power kept growing stronger, his Physical Strength would also keep growing stronger to the extreme.

Xiao Yi wanted to see what would happen if the strength of his Asura Power surpassed the limit originally set by the Asura Battle Body and then underwent another qualitative change.

Simply put, he wanted to make those 999 drops of Asura Power even more savage and even more terrifying, then, when a thousand drops fused into one in the future, borrow the momentum of the breakthrough to merge an even stronger Asura Power.
