“Finally here, as rumoured it’s really ominous environment we have here.” A young warrior looked around a misty fog in an exotic land and revealed a faint smile.
Soon, the warrior proceeded and walked into the area where the gray smoke was concentrated, he realized that big, long, purple pythons were quickly dashing toward him as if they just saw their prey.
“Soul Perishing Thunderbolt!”
The warrior couldn’t help but strangely roar with surprise and anger. He was aware of the Earth-shaking, destructive aura and immediately retreated.
The purple pythons then restored their normal status. After the warrior had left, they no longer aimed at him but retreated as if they were only coming out for him.
“Why are they coming for me?” The warrior’s face became cold.
He emotionlessly looked at the exotic land with caution and anger, “This Soul Perishing Thunderbolt only aims for the host souls of the Spirit Realm warriors, keeping them away from entering leaving this treasure trove for lower realm warriors to explore. Conventionally a warrior with a realm lower than Spirit Realm should not be affected, or can it be those brats lied to me? No that can’t be. So troublesome.”
The Warrior couldn’t help but doubt. If it weren’t because he had an unfathomable realm and attained ridiculous speed, the Soul Perishing Thunderbolt would probably have hit him and destroyed his host soul.
If his host soul was destroyed, it meant that he would completely disappear from time.
The warrior’s face became was sullen and kept changing.
After a few moments he retreated and hid around the edges of the misty fog seemingly waiting for something or someone.
Soon enough a small group of warriors appeared, three Nirvana Realm and one Sky Realm.
When the hiding warriors witness how the group had gone in and out, Soul Perishing Thunderbolt had no reaction, which meant that this Soul Perishing Thunderbolt apparently didn’t aim for warriors who didn’t belong to the Spirit Realm. It proved that he wasn’t lied to.
So, why had he just entered that place, and the Soul Perishing Thunderbolt instantly reacted?
The warrior frowned but trying to find any reason. Soon enough his eyes flickered, He instantly remembered the Nine Serenities Soul Devouring Flame and his host soul had fused together. This Nine Serenities Soul Devouring Flame was the Heaven Flame which had a devilish power to burn up souls. Is it somehow related?
“Most probably… ”
“No worries, I have my own way.” The warrior suddenly smiled with a carefree look and stared confidently looked at that smoky gray area.
The strange warrior was none other than Leylin. A few weeks have passed since Leylin left Endless Sea and entered Dark Magnetic Noxious Mist.
As soon as Leylin reached here he found a serious trouble. Inside Dark Magnetic Noxious Mist, there is without Heaven and Earth aura and under the impact of the Dark Magnetic Noxious Mist, other forces of Heaven and Earth couldn’t exist in this noxious mist.
In such a situation Leylin immediately figured the crucial problem as to how one would survive, if he consumed all of his Profound Qi?
To attain Profound Qi, it required Heaven and Earth aura.
Leylin tested and observed grimly that not even top grade Profound Qi crystal are effective! The Heaven and Earth auras that had just been taken out of the pure crystal were influenced by the Dark Magnetic Noxious Mist. They evaporated instantly, not able to turn into condensed aura for him to absorb.
Contemplating in silence for a while, Leylin eventually relaxed and adapted to the current situation by not forcing himself. Leylin has various cards up his sleeves, and he has quite some confidence in his ability retreat if not venture deep inside successfully.
Since fate was governing in this direction, leylin decided to just coat tail out of it. Although not to his liking, it is what it is.
And Leylin also knows that there is no way that cultivators inside don’t have a way to deal with this problem, he would just follow their lead.
After entering and roaming around for a while Leylin came across a group of warriors, although extremely young around his age but all of them were Third Sky Of Nirvana Realm, and the leader was a Sky Realm Warrior.
To Leylin this kind of strength is nothing remarkable but it’s still astounding to view such young experts have such a profound realm. Leylin immediately concluded that the centre of Grace Mainland was leagues above the Endless Sea in terms of military might as well as martial profoundness.
The level of the warriors in Divine Land was indeed better than that of the warriors in the Endless Sea as rumoured.
The Supreme warriors of the Endless were only in the Spirit Realm while those of the Divine Land were in the True God Realm. It was obvious to tell which one is better.
Though those brat Leylin learned that inside the Dark Magnetic Noxious Mist, only Demon Crystals of the beasts can be used to supplement the consumed Profound Qi. Each Demon Crystal here is precious and enough for all the parties to attack each other.
The warriors here are also quite despising towards the Endless Sea which they see as a barbaric place. It seems that the ancestors in the Endless Sea were warriors who couldn’t develop in Divine Land, and thus they had crossed the sea to the Endless Sea, starting to live and form their forces there until now.
Leylin already had an inkling that the two forces were somehow linked to each other and his assumptions were proven to be true.
Beyond the Dark Magnetic Noxious Mist is the centre of Grace Mainland called Divine Land. A place filled with outstanding warriors and powerful entities, capable of ransacking the whole Endless Sea. In Divine Land, there are elites of elites centred carrying the will and legacy of outstanding warriors since Antiquity.
On the way here, through the warriors group he captured and interrogated, Leylin knew that there were a variety of warrior schools, many powerful city powers, as well as a lot of secret places in the Divine Land.
Among them, the seven great ancient factions, The Pure Land, the Divine Radiant Cult, Martial Spirit Palace, Heavenly Palace, Spirit Treasure Sect, the Devil Valley, and the Fighting Union could be described as the most ancient and powerful forces of the Divine Land. Each of these seven great ancient factions had tens of thousands of years of history. Talented people had firmly occupied this fertile Divine Land, which had the best resources for cultivation.
Besides the seven great ancient factions, Divine Land also had a lot of other large countries. Some of them were secluded families that had lasted for thousands of years, and some were secret, fearful lands, which were not to be seen or found easily.
The relationship of Divine Land’s warriors was much more complicated than that of the Endless Sea. The territory of Divine Land was immense and almost boundless.
Nearest to the Dark Magnetic Noxious Mist is the White Emperor City which was a big city of the Fighting Union, with a population of millions of people. It covered an area which was much bigger than the Kyara Sea of Endless Sea, and had more than hundreds of warriors with all kinds of levels. There were dozens of small countries, which were under White Emperor City’s control. In each of those small countries were all kinds of precious cultivation resources.
White Emperor City was only one city of the Fighting Union, and the Fighting Union was only one of the seven great ancient factions. So, it seemed that this Divine Land was indeed extremely prosperous, and its warriors were naturally countless. Powerful masters like him, who were called geniuses, could be easily found.
Seven great ancient factions had been dominating the place for tens of thousands of years, with countless cultivation resources, holding a complete collection of martial arts as well as secret cultivation methods, many secret treasures, numerous spiritual medicines, and the population of hundreds of millions of people. With such a huge population, even if the probability of brilliant warriors was tiny, at least they could still have roughly ten marvelous warriors.
In the territory of the Divine Land, the kinds of secretly dangerous, odd areas were countless, and they were not much different from this Dark Magnetic Noxious Mist. Almost every month or every day, those seven ancient factions and other forces would command their warriors to travel to the Dark Magnetic Noxious Mist.
On one hand, it was to sharpen the cultivation base of their warriors, and on the other, it was for them to collect all kinds of scarce materials, to find and kill some strange wicked beasts, or to kill enemy’s masters.
Divine Land’s forces were everywhere, creating a huge network in this vast land. Their power spread out in every corner. A large number of warriors were in several strange miasma places, reporting daily changes of the Divine Land to their Sects, so that their leaders could always be updated about the changes in this Land.
Although hundreds of thousands of warriors came into the Dark Magnetic Noxious Mist this time, it was nothing compared to those forces’ total number of warriors. Those who could enter this miasma place were a little bit mightier than ordinary warriors, but it didn’t mean that they belonged to the group of the most outstanding warriors of those factions.
The reason why such a huge force was all present here together is because of the rumours of two special items inside the mist of fog that Leylin is standing before.
Rumor has it that there are two abnormal things deep inside the Dark Magnetic Noxious Mist. The first one is the Sacred level Secret Treasure, maybe even the God level Treasure and the other one is the Pure God Soul.
Sacred level Secret Treasure in itself is a precious treasure while God level Secret Treasures are very rare. Even in the Divine Land, it is not like everyone can have it. Because there are no God level blacksmiths and God level Alchemists in the Divine Land, the lowest God level Secret Treasures and Refined Pills can be enough to drive people crazy.
As for Pure God Soul, it’s even more intriguing and mind blowing.
When a Third Sky of Spirit Realm warrior enters the True God Realm, he can refine his host soul into God Soul. God Soul has a variety of marvelous effects. One of them is the criterion to distinguish between True God Realm warriors and Spirit Realm warriors. Once the condensation of the God Soul is completed, a warrior officially becomes a God Realm warrior with an immortal soul. Thus, even if he was dead, he can always use the God Soul to be revived. Except for some specific techniques and secret treasures that can destroy the God Soul, it is very hard to get rid of. We can say that it is the root of the True God Ream warriors’ strength.
If one can get the Pure God Soul, they can perceive the martial arts of a True God Real Warrior!
With that comprehension, a warrior didn’t need to worry about bottlenecks, and they would never encounter a ‘Possessed by the Devil’ state. Once their strength had accumulated to a sufficient degree, the warrior could easily enter a new realm.
The purpose that people enter this Dark Magnetic Noxious Mist is for the Pure God Soul and the Secret Treasures.
Leylin was able to prove a theory of his own that martial Spirits are not as mysterious as one would have imagined. In fact, the so-called Martial Spirit is only some kind of martial art Upanishads and is not that magical.
The understanding of Endless Sea’s warriors toward martial spirits is too shallow. They think that martial spirits are too mysterious or too important.
The fact that some people are born with innate martial spirits is because one of their ancestors had reached the True God Realm.
A True God Realm warrior can pass his martial art Upanishads on to his descendants, helping them have their own fundamental seeds of martial art Upanishads and thus be able to continue their cultivations through the inheritance of martial arts Upanishads and become warriors without relying on any other forces.
In the Merchant Union and Endless Sea, warriors consider martial spirits very important, even take martial spirits as their fundamentals as an essential factor that determines their future.
But here in Divine Land they aren’t that worthy, there are many places that sell Martial Spirit seeds. Martial Spirit Seed is also known as Original Seal of a Martial Spirit or Martial Spirit Fruit. They call it by many names; in fact, the essence is the same. As long as it is integrated into a body, it is equivalent to understanding a kind of martial art Upanishads so that that the body also has a martial spirit. Frankly speaking, martial art Upanishad and martial arts are the same.
Leylin was able to testify that Martial spirits and martial arts have no differences. Leylin already had suspicion about the credibility and huge emphasis everyone put of Martial Spirit. Leylin from the get go has been able to study various Marital spirit as well as marital skills to create various spells for himself, in essence all those spells are just martial arts or skill that enables him to mimic the ability of Marital Spirit.
If these Martial Spirit were really so special, how come with extensive study Leylin has been able to base dozens upon dozens of spell/Martial skills on them.
On the same note one would question what’s the difference between the two then? It’s quite simple, the difference is between the origin.
Martial spirit are inheritance. True God Realm warriors took advantage of this martial spirit inheritance to hand down their own martial art Upanishads to the next generation. As long as the offspring was not extinct, the martial spirits may be inherited from generation to generation. This martial spirit inheritance is much more mysterious than words; it was directly stored in the descendants who were born. The birth of descendants is equivalent to cultivating them.
However, this also has a great drawback. The drawback is that this martial spirit inheritance makes the future generation instantly know a kind of martial arts without going through any arduous cultivation.
Because of this their martial knowledge is lower and they cannot teach others because they could only use but don’t know the process and methods of the formation of martial arts.
Without knowing what method to form a martial spirit, one person can still enjoy the results without having to go through any hardships of cultivation, and thus they would lack experiences. Once entering the Sky Realm, a person will need to have the essential understanding of each kind of martial arts, conception, as well as Upanishads. However, since that person lacks necessary experiences, regarding the comprehension of conception and Upanishads, he cannot compare to those who have undergone arduous cultivations.
Unless there is an extremely rare and miraculous Martial Spirit, warriors of Divine Land don’t bother with them. Leylin could also conclude that his Martial Spirits are rather good, even the most basic one the Petrification Martial Spirit was now mutated because of Leylin and is a rather top class seed.
The Star Martial Spirit is one of the strongest Martial Spirit even in the Divine Land belonging to the Divine Radiant Cult one of the strongest forces in Divine Land.
Meanwhile his Immortal Martial Spirit is even more miraculous, Leylin could guess that the main elements of this Martial spirit revolves around the Immortal Blood.
And lastly his mysterious Devour Martial Spirit is an uncanny ability that goes beyond the whole concept and understanding of Martial spirit inheritance. It’s just too marvelous and astounding to be even qualified as a mere Martial spirit.
…
Leylin waited for a while after everyone had disappeared. He took out Sky-breaking Shuttle and then tried to communicate with it. ” Help me through that barrier in front of us, avoid those destroying souls’ thunderbolts, and go straight to the center. How much Profound Qi do I need to spend?”
“One-tenth.”
“Ok. I will inject the Profound Qi into you, and then you will bring me in there.”
“Possible.”
The Sky-breaking Shuttle broke through a gorgeous silver channel and brought Leylin into that place. When he penetrated that area, the Soul Perishing Thunderbolt around that silver channel didn’t have any reaction because the Sky-breaking Shuttle had formed a channel to cover him. It helplessly let him continue ahead.
The shaking halo rippled out. Leylin body was like lightning drilling into the area in just one blink.
After re-appearing, Leylin realized that he was in a magnificent old city center. There were hundred-meter-high ancient buildings with ancient stones together with dozens of these building which looked like small mountains. The roads in the ancient city extended in all directions. They were all smooth and made of hard, green stones.
There were four enormous mountains at the four sides of the ancient city. These four mountains formed into the Four Symbols, respectively showing the postures of a bowing Black Turtle, meandering Azure Dragon, dancing Vermillion Bird, and the patrolling White Tiger. The four mountains were huge and vaguely surrounded the ancient city.
Two vast rivers flowed meanderingly, hanging in the sky above the ancient city. The two rivers intertwined, emitting beautiful dazzling lights.
The two galaxies hanging in the sky were immense. Bursts of volatility came up from the two rivers. Floating corpses in the water of the Milky Way could be faintly seen. People could also see God lights zooming over in the galaxy as if there was some secret treasure that had a spirit and was operating in the galaxy.
The ancient city, the four mountains, and the galaxies suspended in the sky all constituted this magnificent but strange place.
After emerging, Leylin instantly looked at the two galaxies that were hanging above his head as well as the gorgeous weaving beam of lights.
He could feel a violent shaking power transmitted from that weaving point. That energy was extremely intimidating and seemingly endless.
The four long-ranged mountains surrounded the ancient city, forming the four postures of the bowing Black Turtle, meandering Azure Dragon, dancing Vermillion Bird, and the patrolling White Tiger, which brought along the meaning of wealth and fortune. This meant this land was a blessed land, very rare on Earth and sky, as it was blessed and protected by the four ancient sacred creatures.
In this imposing ancient city, some figures could be seen from time to time in those buildings. They were all outstanding warriors who could enter the exotic land. Those warriors wore cold faces, sometimes raised their heads looking at the sky, and watched around all four mountains as they seemed to be aware of something.
“Marvellous….” Leylin was awe stuck for a while but soon after he calmed down and looked around scanning everyone, the whole place was filled with various warriors each of them were in groups and at least of Nirvana Realm.
“Such a level is just too weak for me…..A. I. Chip show my stats.”
[Beep! (Berkan Lenoir) Leylin Farlier, Strength: 47.8, Agility: 42.5, Vitality: 65.0, Profound Qi: First Sky of Sky Realm. Status: Healthy]
After his audacious battle with Mahishaasur and afterwards gaining a bit of time, Leylin was able to break through the barrier of Nirvana Realm and entered Sky Realm without any hitch. Leylin’s body radiated with unbelievable undulation, looking at him everyone couldn’t help but take a step back.
Although Leylin was just at First Sky of Sky Realm but his Profound Qi was unbelievably pure capable of competing against even Third Sky of Sky Realm in terms of raw power.
