Chapter 388: Ancient Martial Soul
In Ling Xiao’s view, the Plague Demon King’s main body was more valuable than any treasure.
As long as he obtained it, his <Nine Demon Gods Art> would be one-tenth completed.
Why one-tenth?
Instead of one-ninth?
That was because according to Ling Xiao’s judgment, after improving <Nine Demon Gods Art>, he guessed that the True Demon Great Empire’s body would be needed to create a truly complete version of this miraculous technique.
“This king will fight you to death! Even if this king is weaker than you, this king can perish together with you!”
The Plague Demon King was thoroughly angry.
Beyond his expectations, even though he had lowered his head and begged for mercy, the other party was like that. Now that he couldn’t survive, he would absolutely not let Ling Xiao survive.
At that moment, a huge abyss mouth appeared behind him again, moreover, that big mouth opened wide and continuously absorbed the plague of the entire Plague Valley.
The Northern Han Country’s troops that were stationed outside the valley were surprised to find that the plague of the Plague Valley was continuously shrinking. The thick fog was also gradually dispersing, exposing everything in the valley.
“Could it be that the Great Masters of the Moonlight Sect succeeded?”
“That’s great, this valley is finally saved, and now, we don’t have to stay in this ghastly place all day around!”
The plague in the Plague Valley rapidly receded, and almost instantly, it integrated into the Plague Demon King’s abyss mouth.
Then, a dark green spheroid that emitted a green light condensed in the opened mouth.
Ling Xiao could feel that this dark green spheroid contained the plague power of the entire valley, and its power had reached a terrifying level.
Therefore, when the other party was preparing a move, he was not staying idle.
The Ice Dragon Sword appeared in his hands.
And a powerful aura continued to condense on the sword.
“Ka ka ka, drop dead, drop dead, let’s die together!”
After a short while, the Plague Demon King let out strange laughter, and that dark green spheroid shot out from the abyss mouth, attacking Ling Xiao with the momentum of destroying everything.
“Really? I want to see who will die!”
Ling Xiao slowly raised his Ice Dragon Sword, injecting all Vast Wintry True Essence he got from Vast Wintry Celestial Worthy.
<Snow Lotus Sword Art> ultimate form——Ice Blizzard!
Until now, Ling Xiao had never given up on comprehending the final form of the Snow Lotus Sword Art. When he had left the Moonlight Sect, he had already comprehended sixty to seventy percent.
And after coming to the Plague Valley, via the experiences he gained in the battles, the comprehension of this move had already approached ninety percent.
Although he had not completely comprehended it, he firmly believed that this move would be much more terrifying than any other move.
As for the reason he didn’t integrate the power of celestial phenomena, it was mainly because he was not skilled enough to completely control this move, and doing so might only cause unnecessary accidents.
Moreover, this style alone was more than enough to deal with this desperate attack of the Plague Demon King.
This, however, was Ice Blizzard in his Half Dragon Form!
Suddenly, the scenery of the entire underground palace changed completely. The cold wind howled and a snow dragon fluttered. It seemed as if it instantly changed into a doomsday scene of the late winter.
The moment that sword move was launched, it seemed that a terrifying ice storm wreaked havoc in the entire world, destroying everything.
Boom——
The Ice Blizzard met the dark green spheroid.
And in an instant, countless cracks appeared on the spheroid, then it turned into dust.
After the dark spheroid was smashed, the Ice Blizzard continued to crazily sweep across everything. Wherever it passed, it left behind a big mess. Everything was destroyed.
Fortunately, this place was far away from where Shangguan Lei was hiding. In addition, there were also no slaves here. Otherwise, those people would have lost their lives.
This was Ice Blizzard, a terrifying move!
“No——!”
The Plague Demon King wanted to escape. Unfortunately, his efforts were useless. The Ice Blizzard seemed very slow, but its range was too big. Even before getting close, its terrifying attraction force pulled the Plague Demon King into the center of the Ice Blizzard.
He couldn’t escape at all.
Humm~~
Ah~~
The continuous painful screams were mixed with the sounds of the storm, forming terrifying music.
And after ten full breaths, the Ice Blizzard gradually subsided.
And a green core fell on the ground, which was swallowed by the phantom behind Ling Xiao.
“I didn’t expect this Plague Demon King’s main body to be such a core.”
Even after killing the Plague Demon King with one move, Ling Xiao didn’t even have a hint of a smile.
Just a Plague Demon King, whose cultivation base had been restored to just Initial Rank Four Transcendent Realm, had caused such a big massacre.
What about the other eight Great Demon Kings?
Furthermore, each Demon King had seventy-two powerful Demon Generals under them!
Where were they now?
There was no way to know how much they had recovered.
This feeling made him feel a bit powerless.
After all, he was still too weak to save the common people by his power alone.
Moreover, this Heavenly Dragon Continent was still too small and too weak!
“Master!”
Suddenly, that green phantom behind him spoke.
A martial soul that can speak?
This was ‘Out-of-Aperture’ leveled martial soul!
Ling Xiao hadn’t expected that after swallowing the Plague Demon King’s main body, his Plague Demon King Martial Soul would actually step into the third level of the martial souls——‘Out-of-Aperture’.
Incomplete Soul——Intact Soul——Out-of-Aperture, and there furthermore were higher realms.
The cultivation of martial souls wasn’t easy.
And once you entered the Out-of-Aperture level, you, furthermore, needed to continue to cultivate continuously to achieve a total of nine stages, namely one breath, one minute, one moment, one hour, one day, one week, one month, one season and one year.
The current Plague Demon King Martial Soul of Ling Xiao should be in the Out-of-Aperture’s ‘one moment’ stage.
The so-called one moment was sixty breaths.
This was one kind of way to divide time in the Profound Realm.
In other words, he could release his martial soul from his body for at least sixty breaths, which was also a moment.
After leaving the body, the martial soul could not only still boost the martial artist in all aspects, but it could also fight by itself, which was totally different from the soul separation of the intact soul stage.
“Oh, very good, since you can speak, it makes things convenient. Where are the treasures of the Plague Demon King? Also, he seemed to have said something before his death. What did he say, and what did he mean?”
Ling Xiao asked with excitement.
At first, he was still thinking about how to thoroughly search this underground palace to see if he could find the treasures of the Plague Demon King.
Now, it was much easier.
“Of course, Master, please follow me!”
The Plague Demon King Martial Soul actually flew in front of Ling Xiao.
And before going to the place where the Plague Demon King Martial Soul’s hidden treasures were located, it continued to say: “The Plague Demon King screamed three words ‘Immemorial Martial Soul’ in horror before his death!”
“Immemorial Martial Soul? What does that mean?”
Ling Xiao asked in confusion.
The Plague Demon King Martial Soul explained: “Immemorial Martial Soul is a martial soul passed on from the Immemorial Era. Therefore, they often possess the aura and inheritance of the Immemorial Era’s martial artists. Moreover, they are more terrifying and stronger than awakened martial souls.”
“Oh? It seems the Plague Demon King regarded the Ancient Golden Dragon within my body as the immemorial martial soul.”
Ling Xiao thought inwardly.
The vast and majestic ancient aura of the Ancient Golden Dragon within his body was truly like a martial soul passed down from ancient times.
