Chapter 363: Chapter 363: Three Clans Join Forces?
“Break through the Divine Spirit Realm?” Yang Xiaotian gave a bitter smile.
He was only a Martial Emperor now.
The Heartfelt Demon Ape also knew that Yang Xiaotian wanted to break through to the Divine Spirit Realm; it was a very long process. It chuckled dryly and said, “Actually, with the young master’s terrifying talent, it’s possible that the Soul Ring could evolve when you break through to the Saint Realm.”
“Break through to the Saint Realm!” Yang Xiaotian’s heart trembled.
“Yes, but before you break through to the Saint Realm, you must condense fourteen of the strongest Heavenly Fates,” the Heartfelt Demon Ape said earnestly. “Moreover, young master, whether you are at the Martial Emperor Realm or the Martial Venerable Realm, you need to lay the most profound and heaven-defying foundation to have a hope of evolving the Soul Ring!”
The Martial Emperor Realm, the Martial Venerable Realm, required laying the most profound and heaven-defying foundation?
The Martial Emperor Realm primarily cultivates qi and blood.
The stronger a martial artist’s corporeal qi and blood, the more vibrant their life force, and the higher their lifespan.
As for the Martial Venerable Realm, it’s about cultivating orifices.
A martial artist’s body has a total of one thousand two hundred ninety-six orifices. Legend has it that if one could open up all the orifices of the body, they could even achieve sanctification of the flesh and attain an Immortal Body.
“In the Martial Emperor Realm, some genius martial artists can cultivate their qi and blood to an external release level!” the Heartfelt Demon Ape said. “However, that level of external release is only considered ordinary.”
“If the qi and blood can transform into a beacon of war smoke, that would be considered stunning.”
“Qi and blood like a rainbow is seen once in a hundred years.”
“But even that is not profound. If qi and blood could transform into a Blood Sea a hundred miles wide, that would be a rarity seen once in ten thousand years.”
As the Heartfelt Demon Ape said this, Yang Xiaotian stimulated his own qi and blood. Instantly, his surging qi and blood soared up from within him, solidifying into a huge pillar that reached straight into the sky.
The Heartfelt Demon Ape stared at Yang Xiaotian’s qi and blood, which was like a pillar reaching the heavens, and was stunned.
The Iceflame Qilin trio were also shocked.
They hadn’t expected that Yang Xiaotian, at the mere third level of Martial Emperor, would possess such strong qi and blood.
“Old Ape, how do you see my qi and blood?” Yang Xiaotian asked the Heartfelt Demon Ape.
The Heartfelt Demon Ape swallowed and after a long time said, “Terrifying!”
Not profound, not heaven-defying, but terrifying!
So terrifying was the qi and blood, it revealed how fearsome Yang Xiaotian’s corporeal body must be.
The ape couldn’t figure out how its young master had cultivated such a fearsome body.
The Primordial Dragon Art was the top-level cultivation technique of the Ancient Dragon Clan. Over the years, Yang Xiaotian had been persistently working hard on it, and he had also been steadfastly consuming Heavenly Tribulation Thunder Water every day to cultivate. Without exaggeration, Yang Xiaotian’s corporeal body was already stronger than the Ancient Dragon Clan warriors of the same realm.
“However, it is said that when the Lord of Azure God was breaking through to the Martial Venerable Realm, his qi and blood could condense into a Blood Sea ten thousand miles wide!” the Heartfelt Demon Ape said.
Yang Xiaotian was astounded, “A radius of ten thousand miles?”
Although his qi and blood were terrifying now, it was simply impossible for him to condense it into a Blood Sea with a radius of ten thousand miles!
“Correct, a radius of ten thousand miles!” the Heartfelt Demon Ape said with an admiring face, “On the Azure God Continent, throughout the ages, only the esteemed Lord of Azure God has reached such a realm.”
A radius of ten thousand miles?
Yang Xiaotian tried to condense his qi and blood into a sea.
Instantly, his rolling qi and blood spread across the sky and formed a Blood Sea with a radius of a thousand miles around his body.
The Heartfelt Demon Ape and the Iceflame Qilin trio watched with stunned faces.
To know, throughout the ages, the number of Martial Emperors whose qi and blood could reach a radius of a thousand miles could be counted on one’s fingers.
Yet Yang Xiaotian’s brow furrowed.
With his current speed of cultivation, even if he were to cultivate to the peak of the tenth level of the Martial Emperor, his qi and blood would hardly reach the extent of ten thousand li.
Even if he were to consume six layers of Heavenly Tribulation Thunder Water every day for cultivation, it would still be impossible.
It’s unknown how the Lord of Azure God managed to cultivate to the extent of ten thousand li in the past.
“Aside from the Heavenly Tribulation Thunder Water, is there anything else that can temper the body and improve qi and blood?” Yang Xiaotian asked the few people around him.
The Heartfelt Demon Ape thought for a moment, then said, “The Elf Clan does have something that can temper the body and improve qi and blood.”
The Elf Clan!
“Are you referring to the Life God Tree, old ape?” Yang Xiaotian blurted out.
“Indeed,” said the Heartfelt Demon Ape. “The Life Force of the Life God Tree can temper the body, improve qi and blood, and strengthen vitality. If the young master could cultivate under the Life God Tree while consuming Heavenly Tribulation Thunder Water, the effect would double!”
“However, not everyone can cultivate their qi and blood to the extent of ten thousand li, even with the help of the Life God Tree and treasures like the Heavenly Tribulation Thunder Water.”
“Back in the day, the Lord of Azure God possessed the innate Thunder Prison Divine Body, which is why he could cultivate his qi and blood to ten thousand li within the realm of the Martial Emperor.”
The Thunder Prison Divine Body is one of the most top-notch divine bodies in the world.
Yang Xiaotian nodded.
The Thunder Prison Divine Body, huh?
He cultivated the Primordial Dragon Art and possessed the Dragon Emperor’s Body, which was stronger than even the most top-notch divine bodies in the world.
“Old Ape, if we go to the Elf Clan City now, are you confident?” Yang Xiaotian asked.
The Heartfelt Demon Ape pondered and said, “The Elf Clan is protected by the Elf Grand Array. It’s not an easy task to break through, but once my injuries are healed, it will be no problem at all.”
Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaotian was relieved. Given the Heartfelt Demon Ape’s current rate of injury recovery, consuming a dose of six layers of Heavenly Tribulation Thunder Water and one Heavenly Life-Extending Pill each day, it would be fully healed in half a month.
“We’re heading to the Elf Clan City now!” Yang Xiaotian stood up and declared.
The Elf Clan City was not close from here; by the time they would reach the Elf Clan City, the Heartfelt Demon Ape’s injuries should be almost healed.
Thus, Yang Xiaotian and the others set off toward the Elf Clan City.
Just as Yang Xiaotian and his party were heading to the Elf Clan City, the Elf Queen Xi Yuandong and her five companions finally managed to escape back to the Elf Clan’s territory.
After returning to the Elf Clan’s territory, Xi Yuandong thought of the disgraceful scene with the Sky Demon Clan, thought of her grandson Xi Luo and the numerous high-ranking members of the Elf Clan who died tragically, her anger surged, burning with a vengeful fury.
“Back then, the Heartfelt Demon Ape killed the Ancient Ancestor of the Charm Clan. The Charm Clan harbored a deep hatred for the Heartfelt Demon Ape. Contact the Clan Leader of the Charm Clan for me; I want to join forces with the Charm Clan to eliminate the Heartfelt Demon Ape!” Xi Yuandong said through gritted teeth.
“Also, contact the Clan Leader of the Giant Clan. The old Clan Leader of the Giant Clan also died from injuries inflicted by the Heartfelt Demon Ape, and the Giant Clan certainly cannot wait to devour his flesh and blood!”
Upon saying this, Xi Yuandong’s murderous intent surged, “I refuse to believe that our Elf Clan, Charm Clan, and Giant Clan, united, still can’t kill that demon ape!”
Xi Mo, the Patriarch of the Hai Family, and several others respectfully complied with her orders, and followed Xi Yuandong’s command to contact the Clan Leader of the Charm Clan and the Giant Clan.
Dawn was breaking.
As Yang Xiaotian and his companions were on their way to the Elf Clan City, they heard some bad news. The Undying Wraiths had broken out of Demon Ape Ridge and began attacking the cities surrounding the Red Fire Country.
Hearing the news, Yang Xiaotian felt a heavy burden.
Any creature that is bitten by the Undying Wraiths will be invaded by the Undying Death Qi and will turn into an Undying Wraith as well. These Undying Wraiths crave fresh flesh, lack any reason, and are very difficult to kill. Wherever they go, death follows.
The thing he feared had still happened.
“Let’s go to the Red Fire Country first!” Yang Xiaotian pondered and then decided.
Since the Red Fire Country wasn’t far from their current location, they were not in a rush to reach the Elf Clan City.
