Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Chapter 367: Chapter 367: Plague Demon King_1

Even among Gold-rare Level Martial Arts, there are very few Inner Sect Disciples who have cultivated them to the state of Perfection, let alone to the Transcendental Realm.

As for Gold-superior Level Martial Arts, it is said that one is not qualified to practice them without reaching the Transcendent Realm Seventh Heaven, and even if one practices, it is very difficult to comprehend.

The top ten Core Disciples generally cultivate Gold-superior Level Martial Arts.

And Gold-top Level Martial Arts are even more difficult than Gold-superior Level Martial Arts, with even more demanding requirements.

Among the disciples of the Moon Hua Sect, probably only the top three among the ten Core Disciples have cultivated Martial Arts to this extent; the rest are not qualified.

Even many Stewards, Hall Masters, and Elders of high ranks can’t penetrate the mysteries of Martial Arts at this level due to their comprehension.

In the Moon Hua Sect, there are just over thirty Gold-top Level Martial Arts in total, which is why Ling Xiao was able to find a Martial Art he liked so quickly.

However, he was also quite fortunate; if he had joined another Sect, he might not have encountered Martial Arts like the Soul Dice or Heavenly Dragon Divine Finger.

After all, these were the treasured Martial Arts of the Moon Hua Sect.

And to think that Ling Xiao only spent a mere quarter of a shichen to comprehend these Martial Arts and managed to cultivate them to the first level.

Such terrifying comprehension was truly fearsome.

But upon further consideration, the reasons are quite simple.

First, Ling Xiao possesses the Mountain and River Martial Soul, whose analytical and exercise capabilities are terrifying, allowing him to understand extremely complicated and difficult Martial Arts through the simplest methods;

Second, after the fusion of Ling Xiao’s soul with the Mountain and River Martial Soul, his comprehension soared to a terrifying degree, making so-called geniuses and super geniuses pale in comparison;

Of course, there’s also the fact that he once cultivated the Terrifying Finger, which helped him comprehend the Heavenly Dragon Divine Finger more quickly.

The rapid advancement of the Soul Dice, on the other hand, stemmed from his formidable Soul Power.

As for the Heavenly Dragon Finger, he merely glanced at it once and had basically mastered it; after all, the Terrifying Finger originated from the Heavenly Dragon Finger and, following perfection through the Mountain and River Martial Soul, was even somewhat more perfect, lacking only a few moves.

One technique understood, a myriad more to go.

Under these circumstances, learning the Heavenly Dragon Finger was nothing short of simple.

The reason for learning it was to cover up the fact that he had learned the Heavenly Dragon Divine Finger.

A Martial Art like the Soul Dice might be found in other Sects, so Ling Xiao wasn’t worried about being discovered.

However, the Heavenly Dragon Divine Finger is unique to the Moon Hua Sect, a Martial Art passed down through generations, and absolutely impossible to have leaked out.

After all, Ling Xiao obtained it through irregular means, and a bit of cover-up was to avoid more trouble.

After spending a shichen, Ling Xiao consolidated the Heavenly Dragon Divine Finger to the first level. He even tried out its might; when unleashed in his Human-Dragon Form, its power was on par with the last move ”Destruction” of the Divine Prison King Fist.

However, ”Destruction” was an area attack.

The Heavenly Dragon Divine Finger, on the other hand, concentrates True Essence into a line to deliver concentrated damage, making its single-target killing power extremely formidable.

The Soul Dice was also gradually becoming familiar with its six variations.

Since the six faces represent six entirely different methods of attack, it’s difficult to assess its power.

Overall, however, the Soul Dice has poorer controllability because the faces are random, and it’s hard to predict what dice will be thrown.

However, the overall power was even more terrifying than the ”Heavenly Dragon Divine Finger”.

In ordinary combat, using the ”Snow Lotus Sword Technique” or ”Heavenly Dragon Divine Finger” would be more appropriate.

But if facing a very powerful opponent, or an enemy with unknown abilities, the ”Soul Dice” would be more suitable.

It’s like gambling, if you’re lucky and roll the right attack pattern, then you’re formidable. But if you don’t roll the right one, although the attack will still be very terrifying, the trouble is that you can’t control it.

Now, he would still choose different martial skills according to the strength and combat style of his opponent.

The most commonly used, of course, were still ”Divine Prison King Fist” and ”Snow Lotus Sword Technique”. As for ”Heavenly Dragon Divine Finger”, ”Soul Dice”, and the Martial Way Rule, he was still in the process of comprehension and cultivation, not yet familiar with them.

Occasionally he might give them a try, but he wouldn’t use them as his main attack methods.

Even so, his current strength was still very frightening.

Even for martial artists at the Transcendent Realm Fifth Layer Heaven, defeating him would require a heavy price to pay.

Feeling that his comprehension was almost complete, Ling Xiao put aside the two newly acquired martial arts for the moment, planning to spend some time on advancing ”Cloud Dragon Divine Movement” and ”Nine Demonic Divine Arts”.

Previously, he had cultivated a large number of Gold-beginner Level Martial Arts as materials for advancement, and now was the time to use them.

The advancement process was simpler than before, mainly because of his familiarity.

About four hours later, Ling Xiao’s ”Cloud Dragon Divine Movement” had been upgraded to the Gold-superior Level Body Movement Technique ”Cloud Dragon Divine Movement: Illusion Array”.

As the name implies, Ling Xiao integrated the essence of array formations into this body movement technique, making ”Cloud Dragon Divine Movement” even more elusive, not only faster, but also harder to capture.

If he wanted to advance this martial art further, he would have to use Gold-rare Level Martial Arts as materials, which was quite luxurious.

Another four hours passed, and Ling Xiao’s ”Nine Demonic Divine Arts” also successfully advanced to the Gold-superior Level Martial Arts ”Nine Demonic Divine Art: Plague Demon King”.

After the advancement, ”Nine Demonic Divine Arts” had unlocked the abilities of two Demon Lords - the Evil Beast Demon King and the Plague Demon King!

Evil Beast Demon King: After demonization, one can use the power of evil beasts to enhance attack and defense, with some special changes occurring in the body;

Plague Demon King: After demonization, one can wield the power of plague, to spread or devour plague, without changes in the body, but the aura becomes extremely evil.

In Ling Xiao’s style, he wasn’t particularly fond of the Plague Demon King, but the power of ”plague” could also be used against enemies. As long as it didn’t harm the innocent, using it was fine.

Of course, the most important thing was that after advancing to Gold-superior Level Martial Arts, the auxiliary abilities attached to ”Nine Demonic Divine Arts” had also improved a lot. Before, they could increase one’s power by ten percent, but now they could increase it by twenty percent and come with special effects.

This was naturally a significant help in the use of other martial skills.

However, most importantly, his physical combat strength had greatly increased.

In case he encountered a situation where he couldn’t use True Essence or Soul Power, this could play a crucial role.

...

After advancing the two great techniques, Ling Xiao left the cave dwelling and went to the ”Mission Announcement Board” in the Inner Sect Main Hall.

What he did was just to take on a few Sect tasks.

By doing so, not only could he have more opportunities to train himself, but he could also earn Sect points, which were hard to come by.

If he could accumulate enough Sect points, even without exchanging them for Martial Arts Secret Books, there were other things like Spiritual Elixirs and Divine Weapons to exchange for.
