Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Chapter 1954: Chapter 1957: Growing Stronger: Geniuses Stepping Out of the Trial Grounds

Ling Xiao can now be certain that this space was created by that emaciated woman.

If he absorbs the Yuanli Crystal, this space will collapse simultaneously.

Although this space has countless benefits, Ling Xiao cannot stay here indefinitely.

After hesitating for a moment, he clenched his teeth and resumed his cultivation.

The woman claimed it to be residual Yuanli, but in Ling Xiao’s view, even this residual Yuanli was far stronger than his own. If he hadn’t previously strengthened his Heavenly Empress Cells, he would indeed have struggled to withstand this terrifying energy invasion.

”Residual divine sense of the King of Sovereigns, help me tame this energy!”

In the Soul Sea, the residual Heavenly Destiny Divine Light enveloped the energy rushing into Ling Xiao’s body, and then the frenetic and somewhat violent energy became docile, circulating within his body’s meridians.

This caused his aura to continuously grow stronger, and his cultivation level to rapidly ascend.

”So that’s who this person is, the old Palace Master of the Nine Heavens Palace, deceived by Xuan Ming.”

As Ling Xiao continued to absorb the Yuanli Crystal, he also received part of the old Palace Master’s memories of the Nine Heavens Palace.

He learned of this person’s identity, and also learned of the enmity between him, Xuan Ming, and the Xuanwu Divine Hall.

Among these memories were many martial arts of the Nine Heavens Palace, each extremely powerful, with even the weakest being of Jade Grade Intermediate Martial Arts.

The old Palace Master himself mastered thirteen powerful martial arts.

But too much greed can lead to biting off more than one can chew.

Ling Xiao did not learn them all but instead chose the sword technique most suitable for himself.

His Killing God Body and Holy Sword White Blade were mighty, yet lacked assistance from a sword technique, making attacks somewhat monotonous.

So, Ling Xiao selected from among them a top-tier sword technique—the Nineteen Hell Sword Techniques.

This sword technique was created based on the Eighteen Layers of Hell in the Yin-Yang Realm.

The creator of the sword technique was none other than Killing God White Blade himself.

Bai Ren granted this sword technique to the Nine Heavens Palace so they could guard the Land of Ten Thousand Thunderbolts.

Bai Ren’s sword technique naturally suited Bai Ren the most.

Each move exuded a thick aura of killing intent and hellish vibe, the sword intent’s murderous air becoming even more eerie.

Combined with the Killing God Body and Holy Sword White Blade, the result was naturally optimal.

Having chosen this sword technique, Ling Xiao was in no rush to practice it, as his main goal now was still to improve his cultivation level.

He sat there, allowing the continuous influx of energy from the Yuanli Crystal into his body.

Three hours later, this energy was circulating very smoothly within his body, with most having already transformed into his own power.

He could feel that his cultivation level was steadily advancing.

If anyone were present here, they would definitely notice surrounding Ling Xiao was a juxtaposition of blazing daylight on one side and frost-like cold night on the other.

The Mysteries of Light and the Mystery of the Shadow were keys to Ling Xiao’s cultivation advancement.

This newly acquired energy simultaneously propelled these two Mysteries towards higher levels.

Ling Xiao sat cross-legged at the juncture of night and daylight, almost like the Ruler of the Vast Universe.

He was solemn and mysterious, further evoking an unspeakable strength.

”Boom, boom, boom!”

As the Yuanli Crystal grew smaller and smaller, the mysterious space grew increasingly unstable.

”Looks like it’s time to leave; it’s almost the end of the last day already without realizing it.”

Ling Xiao slowly opened his eyes, absorbing the last of the Yuanli Crystal.

Within his body, it seemed as though something had been directly shattered.

Behind him, a gigantic mirror surprisingly appeared.

”So this is the old Palace Master’s martial soul—the Magic Mirror Martial Spirit!”

The Magic Mirror Martial Spirit could turn what a martial artist thought into reality, so the old Palace Master mainly practiced illusion techniques.

Usually, it was illusion techniques, but through the Magic Mirror Martial Spirit, they transformed into reality, with the power of the illusion being tied to the martial artist’s cultivation level. It was quite a peculiar martial soul.

Additionally, through this martial soul, one could clearly find flaws in one’s martial arts, enabling rectification by comparison.

This was a utility Ling Xiao didn’t need; he had the Tai Chi Eye and could see his martial arts issues very clearly.

However, it was very useful to his friends.

As Ling Xiao stepped out of the mysterious space, the eight people who had advanced through the resurrection match had already arrived at the stage in Surprise Thunder City.

And out of the other ten people, nine had left the Trial Grounds.

These nine people had clearly experienced tremendous improvements in both cultivation level and strength.

This demonstrated that each Trial Ground exerted its unique effects.

The nine were not in a hurry to leave, standing there, staring at the first trial door.

They didn’t know what had happened inside, so they assumed Ling Xiao was behind the first door.

The time was almost up, and Ling Xiao had not come out, leaving everyone with their own thoughts.

”Judging from the order we came out, the first door should have the most benefits, so it’s the latest to exit. Who knows what kind of benefit Brother Ling got; it’s truly exciting.”

Joshua Long’s eyes revealed a peculiar gold light as he looked at the trial door, appearing quite excited.

Each of them had ten days of cultivation time, yet in reality, starting from the eighth day, people had been coming out of the Trial Grounds one after another.

It was apparent every Trial Ground had a time limit, shorter than ten days.

Only this first door seemed to require the full ten-day period, indicating it had the most benefits.

”Master’s talent and comprehension are the highest among these people. Combined with ranking first in the Trial Grounds, he can surely secure a good position in the King’s Ranking Battle.

Definitely in the top three!”

Leng Mei was equally confident in Ling Xiao.

After spending time with Ling Xiao, one would know how terrifying his talent and comprehension were, definitely beyond the reach of ordinary people.

”Hmph, he’s probably already dead in there.”

Little Dot snorted coldly.

He was very displeased with Ling Xiao getting such a beneficial Trial Ground, clearly less powerful than him, yet able to surpass him, which was really unfair.

At this moment, the first door finally began to open slowly.

A figure emerged from inside, akin to an Immortal walking out of an Immortal Palace, exuding a powerful and intimidating presence.

”It’s not Ling Xiao!”

”Green Hills Separation Fire!”

Everyone was stunned; the one emerging from the best Trial Ground was not Ling Xiao but Green Hills Separation Fire, who had advanced through the resurrection match. What on earth was going on?

”Hahaha, are you all surprised? In fact, there’s no need to be.”

A voice rang out.

The nine turned their heads to see Lin Yuan standing there.

”What exactly happened? Where’s my master?”

Leng Mei’s voice contained sharp murderous intent, which caused Lin Yuan to shiver despite himself.
