Chapter 43: Dragon Violence Divine Gift
“I don’t give a d*mn! All I know is that Haoyu died in the hands of that little b*stard, Ling Xiao, so I’m going to get him now! Sect Leader, are you going against me for that little b*stard?”
The eyes on Lin Shan’s gloomy face reeked of murderous intent. In the meantime, he unleashed a powerful life force from his body, implying that the moment Nangong Xuan was in disagreement with him, he would make his move.
“Master’s Junior Lin, I will not allow you to kill Ling Xiao. He is the hope of Longevity Sect!”
Nangong Xuan sighed but he still stood firmly in Lin Shan’s way.
“Hahaha… Fine!”
Out of anger, Lin Shan burst into laughter. He lifted his head and darted a sharp gaze at Nangong Xuan before he blurted coldly, “So Sect Leader is insisting on protecting the little b*stard? If that’s the case, let me see if there’s any improvement to Sect Leader’s cultivation. I won’t bring up the word ‘revenge’ if you can defeat me!”
Wham!
Suddenly, a gush of vigor erupted out of Lin Shan like a tsunami. As his blood rushed, his body flickered in red radiance. As though he had divine fist flames, a pair of translucent palms that shone like jade came crashing down on Nangong Xuan in a powerful force.
This was the display of the Grandmaster Boundary’s true strength — the ability to grasp every ounce of energy and realize the forces between heaven and earth. Only with that could they unleash an unparalleled, powerful force to overcome the enemy.
“If that’s the case, I apologize for my actions in advance, Master’s Junior Lin!”
As a glint flashed past Nangong Xuan’s eyes, the vigor in him started to rise. A magnificent sword intent then filled the atmosphere, shaking the void and surrounding nature.
Swoosh!
The moment Nangong Xuan joined his fingers together to act as a sword, a fiery stream of light was seen flying swiftly and ferociously towards Lin Shan, like a fallen star.
The air shook and so did the earth.
The battle between two Grandmaster Boundary masters had begun!
…
Back in Jin Se Pavilion1, Ling Xiao who was sat in a cross-legged position abruptly opened his eyes and turned his gaze towards the valley where Lin Shan and Nangong Xuan were fighting. There was a glint of shimmer in his eyes.
“A thriving Advanced sword intent with a long-lasting life force. Nangong Xuan’s on the move? The other has a forceful palm energy akin to the fire element. This fist intent seems to be in an Advanced state as well. This life force is quite similar to Lin Haoyu, so it must belong to Grand Supreme Elder,” Ling Xiao mumbled to himself.
With his sharp mental power, he quickly detected the life forces of the two powerful Grandmasters and that gave him an idea of their identities.
‘Nangong Xuan really took great pains to stop Lin Shan from going ballistic but Longevity Sect will never prosper with that Lin Shan around. I have no reason to kill him as long as he stays away from me!’
Ling Xiao thought to himself with a pitiful look on his face.
His body now sparkled in luminosity as curls of pale golden innate True Qi traveled all over his body before it gathered in his Dantian’s Sea of Qi.
Nine cyclones, as radiant as the Milky Way, spun around the center of his Sea of Qi while right in its core lay a black and white seed that generated thousands of propitious energy in vigorous brilliance. The seed harbored a mysterious life force that circulated the balance between Yin and Yang as well as life and death.
It was the work of the Sky Devouring Spiritual Seed.
“It’s a pity that the condition needed to cultivate this Sky Devouring Secret Technique is too rigid, resulting in my inability to cultivate even the first stage of Sky Devouring Spiritual Seed. Otherwise, killing Lin Shan wouldn’t be this troublesome.”
Ling Xiao sighed. The Sky Devouring Secret Technique may be a gruesome skill but it did not possess any ability to attack in the early phase. Hence, he was limited to devouring spiritual energy to hasten his cultivation.
There were five stages to the Sky Devouring Secret Technique, which were Sky Devouring Spiritual Seed, Sky Devouring Golden Lotus, Sky Devouring King Tripod, Sky Devouring Divine Sea, and Sky Devouring Realm!
In his past life, he had managed to get his hands on an incomplete Sky Devouring Secret Technique and cultivated it to the third stage, Sky Devouring King Tripod state!
The emergence of the Sky Devouring King Tripod was an existence that could fend off gods and was impenetrable by ten thousand skills. It was a dominant and undefeatable presence.
However, the condition to cultivate the Sky Devouring Secret Technique was tough. The first stage, which was the Sky Devouring Spiritual Seed required Five Elemental Spiritual Seeds in peerless form in order to materialize.
The Sky Devouring Spiritual Seed Ling Xiao possessed was a semi-finished product as he only had two of the Five Elemental Spiritual Seeds, the water and fire elements.
He could only acquire impeccable combat power when the true Sky Devouring Spiritual Seed was materialized.
“Still, this Ancestral Dragon Secret Technique is quite the feat!”
The thought of the Ancestral Dragon Secret Technique made Ling Xiao very excited.
After cultivating the Legendary Dragon’s Body, Ling Xiao had awakened an innate divine gift that belonged to the Ancestral Dragon secret Technique.
Dragon Violence!
According to the Ancestral Dragon Secret Technique records, the Dragon Violence is a first-class innate divine gift. Even among the legendary True Dragons, only those with the best bloodline could awaken this divine gift.
The Legendary Dragon’s Body could erupt two times the combat effectiveness through Dragon Violence!
The Earthly Dragon’s Body could erupt four times the combat effectiveness through Dragon Violence!
The Flying Dragon’s Body could erupt eight times the combat effectiveness through Dragon Violence!
The Heavenly Dragon’s Body could erupt sixteen times the combat effectiveness through Dragon Violence!
The True Dragon’s Body could erupt thirty-two times the combat effectiveness through Dragon Violence!
Most importantly, it was possible to overlay the combat effectiveness that came with the Dragon Violence divine gift.
For example, if Ling Xiao’s combat effectiveness was at 100%, he could double it by cultivating the Titanium Demon-Slaying Punch. His combat effectiveness would then be brought up to four times its value by wielding a top-notch spiritual tool. With the Dragon Violence divine gift, Ling Xiao’s combat effectiveness would eventually multiply to eight times the strength!
If Ling Xiao did not cultivate the Sky Devouring King Tripod, which was capable of fending off gods and demons in the past life, he would have been no match for True Dragon Supreme.
Being at the ninth tier Supreme Boundary, True Dragon Supreme was only slightly weaker than Ling Xiao. If True Dragon Supreme had managed to activate the thirty-two times combat effectiveness in a True Dragon’s body, he would have reigned as the best in the world.
Hence, that was why Ling Xiao became deeply wounded after True Dragon Supreme ambushed him.
This was the amazing power erupted from the combat effectiveness that was multiplied by thirty-two times!
Not only did the Ancestral Dragon Secret Technique grant Ling Xiao with a powerful flesh, but it gave him a great explosive force too. Even the current Sky Devouring Secret Technique could not compare to this explosive force.
This Dragon Violence divine gift was Ling Xiao’s trump card. His amazing combat effectiveness, paired with the Dragon Violence divine gift surmounted him over two boundaries with the capability to kill a Dragon Tiger Boundary master.
Of course, this was not the only card up Ling Xiao’s sleeve.
The Pulse Unsealing and True Qi Boundaries were only the beginning of the path to martial arts. Only by achieving the Spiritualization and Dragon Tiger Boundaries could Ling Xiao unleash his powerful skills.
Back in the valley.
The battle between Lin Shan and Nangong Xuan soon came to an end.
Although the victor could not be determined, Lin Shan was out of sorts.
“Sect Leader, who knew your battle with me would come to a draw. I’ve really underestimated you!”
Lin Shan uttered coldly with his eyes wide.
