Chapter 316: Chapter 174: Divine-Demon Contention, 3 Divine Techniques
Pei Shiqi felt the Inner Qi flowing through her body, and a dawning realization appeared in her eyes.
"Thank you for your guidance, Master."
Pei Shiqi’s eyes lit up.
She felt that the method of resonating and circulating her Inner Qi with her Acupoints, which had troubled her for so long, was solved in an instant!
With this new understanding,
she felt that she might be able to break through to the Celestial Human Realm within a month!
Wang Xiao nodded slightly.
"Yes. Your current Cultivation speed is decent, but you started too late, far behind many geniuses. I hope you can break through to at least the Limit Breaking Level within six months."
"When that time comes, if humans and Mutant Beasts truly go to war, you’ll have at least some ability to protect yourself when you enter the battlefield."
Pei Shiqi couldn’t help but ask,
"Master, are humans and Mutant Beasts about to go to all-out war?!"
She had, of course, been following the news recently.
She knew that for the past six months, humans and Mutant Beasts had been fighting relentlessly.
Battles were breaking out in almost every combat zone, nearly every day.
Every day, large numbers of humans were thrown onto the battlefield to fight the Mutant Beasts to the death!
Even the Martial Arts Hall had seen many young students leave to serve in the military.
It was clear how dire the war situation had become.
Because she had only recently advanced to a Tier Four Life form, and on top of that was Wang Xiao’s disciple,
it wasn’t her turn to go to the battlefield yet!
Wang Xiao said,
"It’s only a matter of time. I’m afraid that within a year, humanity will face a decisive battle with the Mutant Beasts."
"When that happens, the Mutant Beast attacks will likely be ten, or even a hundred times more ferocious than they are now."
"Of course, we humans have also made thorough preparations."
"For now, you just need to focus on your Martial Arts and improve your strength as quickly as possible."
Pei Shiqi nodded firmly.
"Yes, Master."
Regardless of whether the war started or not, she was deeply grateful to Wang Xiao in her heart.
Without Wang Xiao, she probably would have spent her entire life in the Life Evolution Institute.
She would never have had the chance to cultivate to the Limit Breaking Level, let alone the possibility of breaking through to a Tier Six Life form in the future.
Moreover,
she had a faint feeling that the key to victory in this war would fall on her master’s shoulders.
After all,
the recent escalation in the war between humans and Mutant Beasts had begun right after the assassination attempt on her master!
"Focus on your Cultivation. I’ve placed all the resources from Tier Four to the Limit Breaking Level in the Martial Arts Hall’s warehouse. Take whatever you need. Don’t hold back."
After giving Pei Shiqi some pointers, Wang Xiao didn’t stay long and slowly walked away.
He hadn’t sold the excess resources from his previous Cultivation; he had saved them.
They were perfect for Pei Shiqi to use!
With the help of these resources,
by the time the final, decisive battle broke out,
with Pei Shiqi’s Talent, she should be able to cultivate to the Limit Breaking Level!
「In the time that followed.」
Wang Xiao once again immersed himself in the Cultivation of the Mokoshu Infinite Great Treasury True Method.
The further he progressed, the greater the difficulty of Acupoint Concealed God became.
Fortunately, Wang Xiao had now cultivated the Nirvana Ninth Transformation to Perfection.
Both his Inner World and Great Daoist Nascent Soul were already extremely condensed.
He could completely control the Acupoint Gods, with no need to worry about his qi and blood spiraling out of control.
Just like that, a month passed in the blink of an eye.
「Inside the Martial Arts Hall.」
Looking at the three Dao Fruits that were once again radiating light, Wang Xiao let out a sigh of relief.
As expected, as long as one condensed a Dao Fruit, even if they traveled to other planets,
it would only take a period of adaptation for the Dao Fruit’s power to be restored.
’Three Dao Fruits, three Divine Techniques!’
Wang Xiao carefully sensed the Divine Techniques born from the Time Dao Fruit, the Space Dao Fruit, and the Life Dao Fruit.
First was the Time Dao Fruit, which gave birth to the Divine Technique, Time Bell!
By using the Time Bell, he could make Time within a certain range slow down, speed up, or even come to a complete standstill!
The more Dao Power used, the larger the affected area.
It was generally used to immobilize others.
It could also be used to dodge attacks!
The Space Dao Fruit gave birth to the Divine Technique named Space Tower.
It could affect the Space within a certain area!
For example, for suppression, killing, sealing, and so on!
The Life Dao Fruit gave birth to the Divine Technique named Life-Protecting Sword.
It condensed into a sword. As long as someone was struck by the Life-Protecting Sword and wasn’t killed instantly, they would recover in a moment!
Regrowing a severed limb was a simple matter.
It could infuse the power of life into anything in the world!
’Right now, these three Divine Techniques have only just been born. I need to practice and get familiar with them!’
After some thought, Wang Xiao contacted Ye Tianying directly, expressing his desire to enter a Sixth Level Hazard Zone and spar with some Tier Six Mutant Beasts.
After all,
nothing could improve the proficiency and power of his Divine Techniques faster than fighting against a powerful Tier Six Life form.
With his current strength, as long as a Tier Seven Mutant Beast didn’t intervene, probably only a joint attack from special-blooded Mutant Beasts like the Celestial Roc King and the Nine-headed Serpent—the ones Elder Gu had mentioned before—could pose any threat to him.
Therefore, there wasn’t much danger for him in going to a combat zone now.
"Wang Xiao, your safety now concerns the future of all humanity. I can’t make a decision immediately. Please wait a moment while I consult with Elder Gu and Elder Yuan."
Ye Tianying didn’t agree right away.
At this critical juncture, he didn’t want any accidents to happen.
"Alright."
Wang Xiao wasn’t in a hurry.
「A moment later.」
Ye Tianying agreed to Wang Xiao’s request, telling him to secretly follow an army unit to a Sixth Level Hazard Zone.
This Sixth Level Hazard Zone was located in a desert next to the Tibetan Region.
Its leader was a Tier Six Heaven-Swallowing Lizard.
It was thousands of meters long, as massive as a small mountain.
Since the target was enormous,
it didn’t take Wang Xiao long to find it!
CLANG!
A great bell materialized behind Wang Xiao and was struck lightly.
The sound waves vibrated.
Ripples of time suddenly spread out, completely freezing the surrounding time!
"Hmph?!"
The Heaven-Swallowing Lizard had been slumbering, but it suddenly sensed something amiss and let out a fierce roar.
A torrent of power erupted from its mouth, as if it could devour everything in the world.
’This Mutant Beast is certainly special. It can actually resist my Time Great Dao slightly. If this were an ordinary Tier Six Life form, even its Yin Spirit would probably be frozen solid!’
’Of course, it’s also because my application of the Time Great Dao is still immature!’
As Wang Xiao pondered, a Treasure Tower materialized, RUMBLING and shaking.
The space for hundreds of miles around was completely sealed!
Then,
the violent Power of Space formed a massive cage that ruthlessly crushed down upon the Heaven-Swallowing Lizard.
The Heaven-Swallowing Lizard was already struggling to resist the interference of the Time Bell. Now, being crushed by the Power of Space, it let out an unwilling roar before being pulverized into dust!
"Let’s go. On to the next location!" Wang Xiao said to the accompanying military officer.
Seeing Wang Xiao dispatch a Tier Six Mutant Beast so cleanly and efficiently, the officer was left completely dumbfounded!
Th-this was just too fast!
They had tried to hunt this Heaven-Swallowing Lizard before, even requisitioning three Tier Six Life forms for the task.
Unfortunately, the Heaven-Swallowing Lizard still managed to escape!
’As expected of the founder of the Martial Arts Evolution Path. He’s truly extraordinary. Given enough time, I’m afraid humanity will have another Tier Nine Life form!’
The officer immediately began to lead the way for Wang Xiao.
「During this period.」
The pressure on all their combat zones was immense.
Having Wang Xiao help deal with some of the more troublesome Mutant Beasts was, of course, for the best!
And so,
for the following period,
Wang Xiao, led by various military officers, traveled to the combat zones and began an indiscriminate sweep of the Mutant Beasts!
In just one short month,
the number of Tier Six Mutant Beasts that died at Wang Xiao’s hands had already reached six or seven.
As for Tier Five Mutant Beasts and those at the Limit Breaking Realm, the count was over a hundred!
This continued until the Mutant Beasts sensed something was wrong and began to retreat from the front lines.
Only then did Wang Xiao stop and return to the Martial Arts Hall.
After more than a month of practice,
he had become much more familiar with the Time, Space, and Life Dao Fruits.
Although he had not yet reached the level of his Destiny Dao Fruit and Cause and Effect Great Dao,
at least he could now use them without burning himself out and causing self-injury.
In addition,
his Cultivation of Acupoint Concealed God was also nearing completion, with only the last one hundred Acupoints left to forge their Acupoint Gods!
’Phew, it’s time to travel. A world of warring Divine-Demons... I wonder what it will be like. I’m actually a little excited.’
After arranging matters at the Martial Arts Hall, Wang Xiao once again announced that he was entering seclusion.
’Time to go.’
Wang Xiao lay down in the Biological Pod and repeated the thought in his mind.
In that instant,
the Book of Space-Time bloomed with a faint golden light, casting out Wang Xiao’s Soul Projection and drawing it into the book.
HUMMM!
A flash of golden light tore through infinite Space.
Wang Xiao instantly felt himself arrive in a new world.
