The Divine God Against The Heavens
The Divine God Against The Heavens Chapter 149
When Ye Xiao and the venomous beast arrived in front of each other in an instant, Ye Xiao slashed his sword at the head of the venomous beast at full force.
“About!”
The sound of metal collisions rang out all around him. Since Ye Xiao attacked with his sword first, the poisonous beast had no chance to attack.
“Srr!”
The moment his sword landed on the head of the venomous beast, green blood spurted out from its head like a fountain.
“Zii! Zii!”
Ye Xiao flipped in the air and flew back. His sword was still stuck to the head of the poisonous beast.
Not long after, Ye Xiao saw a shocking sight. The part of his sword that was stuck in the head of the venomous beast completely melted due to that terrifying poison. That terrible poison acts as an acid. And another part of the sword immediately fell to the ground.
“This poison is very surprising!” Ye Xiao had no way of imagining how powerful the poison of this ferocious beast really was. If he were to replace the sword, what would happen to him?
He could not help but tremble in fear of the poison beast's poison.
“Ziii!”
“Desir!”
The poisonous beast once again flapped its wings and flew towards Ye Xiao furiously while spewing poison arrows from its mouth.
Ye Xiao also flew towards him while taking out another sword that was exactly the same as the one that had just melted. Originally, what he had obtained was a pair of swords from Mu Chen's tomb.
He turned around and dodged the poison arrow and once again thrust his sword into the head of the venomous beast. This time, the venomous beast became clever and immediately retreated.
It managed to dodge Ye Xiao's attack but Ye Xiao also guessed that the same attack might not work on this beast because it was already a Fifth Grade Magical Beast that would become a Level Magical Beast Six. He already has an intelligence that is not inferior to adult humans.
Ye Xiao flapped his wings and with an increase in his speed, he once again appeared in front of the poisonous beast immediately and thrust his sword into the wound on his head.
“Zii!”
The poisonous beast cried out loudly in pain as the sword pierced through his wounded head. Ye Xiao did not stop here, he once again arrived in front of the poisonous beast, held his head from both sides with his dragon claws, and instantly tore it apart.
“Ziii!”
“Bang!”
The poisonous beast groaned loudly in pain and then fell onto the lifeless ground. On the other hand, his green and poisonous blood was scattered everywhere within a meter. Some of his blood also fell on Ye Xiao's dragon claws as he used both of his claws to tear off the poisonous beast's head.
He had no choice but to take the risk because this beast was actually very frightening and if given the chance, it could instantly kill Ye Xiao. So, since he was wary of this ferocious beast, he took the risk and tore his head apart.
When the blood of the poisonous beast fell on both of its claws, he was frightened to the point that his mind went blank for a moment. He could not think of anything at this moment.
But then, he suddenly discovered that this poison did not actually affect his claws at all.
Why these?
When he thought about it, he guessed perhaps it was because his claws were from the Heaven-Eating Divine Dragon. The dragon scales that grew on his hands as he turned his hands into dragon claws, not allowing the poisonous blood to touch his skin and therefore, it did not affect him at all.
After some time, Ye Xiao dragged the corpse of the poisonous beast out of the small and narrow cave. He was now preparing to devour his corpse so that he could break through to the Martial King Realm.
“Eating!”
Ye Xiao placed his hand on the corpse of the poisonous beast and began to devour it. Simultaneously, he also took out the pill his master gave him and swallowed it.
“This is the time for breakthrough!”
The energy contained within the pill was extremely violent. And at this moment, Ye Xiao was also devouring the poisonous beast which made the energy within his body even more ferocious. However, right now, Ye Xiao did not think too much. He circulated the First Layer of the Nine Dragons Universal Circulation Technique and shaved it little by little.
Once a small amount of energy was released, he began to absorb the energy into his stomach and began to purify.
If it was a normal person, then doing something like this was unimaginable because the energy within his current body was truly too terrifying. If a normal person had absorbed it like Ye Xiao, it was likely that just a single strand would completely destroy their body.
But it did not affect Ye Xiao much as he circulated the First Layer of the Nine Dragons Universal Circulation Technique which was an unknown rank technique. With that, not only was Ye Xiao able to absorb this violent energy, but he was also able to refine it. He did not even waste a single point as he subdued the violent energy and refined it so as to increase his cultivation.
In such a situation, Ye Xiao's cultivation began to develop rapidly. Even though he was already a Ninth Peak Stage Origin Core Realm martial artist and only half a step away from the Martial King Realm, this half step was still extremely difficult to take.
To move from Origin Core Realm to Martial King Realm, one had to experience a process that was like a river gushing out from the core.
“Blowout!”
With an explosion, Ye Xiao's ordinary core in his dantian exploded and all of the spirit energy within his dantian began to wreak havoc.
At the same time as the explosion, Ye Xiao's aura rose rapidly. It was very fast, and it was very surprising.
“Ahh!”
Ye Xiao groaned in pain but he still did not stop and started circulating the First Layer of the Nine Dragons Universal Circulation Technique with all his strength, which slightly reduced his pain.
As for Ye Xiao's aura, it had increased by several times as his strength increased. That feeling was one that approached the Martial King Realm. With one more step, he could pass through the barrier blocking his path and become a Martial King.
Suddenly, with Ye Xiao as the center, spirit energy within a range of several thousand miles, as if they were summoned, began to rapidly surge towards Ye Xiao's body and gather around him.
Back then, his aura was clearly different from before. There is a change, the point is, this is the real power.
Ye Xiao could feel the changes happening inside and outside of his body. The spirit energy from the world entered his body as if he was a whirlpool that sucked everything he came into contact with.
The more he absorbed, the more he felt like absorbing spirit energy. He did not know the reason behind it but his instinct told him to continue absorbing as much spirit energy as he could. He also felt as if fifty percent of the spirit energy he absorbed disappeared after entering his body.
It seemed, something or someone was stealing spirit energy from his body quickly. Luckily the spirit energy was endless here otherwise, he would not be able to replenish himself completely.
Suddenly his dantian also began to expand, and only when it expanded to double its previous size did it stop expanding.
For most martial artists, progressing only needs to break through one barrier, which is often thought of as coming out of a pair of ‘ shackles’. An extremely talented person might have to break through many shackles. But no matter how talented one was, to break out of the Origin Core Realm would definitely never double the size of one's dantian.
Only when a martial artist broke through to the Martial Emperor Realm could their dantian size enlarge. Before the Martial Emperor Realm, when breaking through, one's size would never be able to expand but yes, the quality of the spirit energy within it would increase and grow denser.
Just like when one broke through to the Origin Core Realm of the Qi Condensation Realm, the quality of their spirit energy would increase because a core would form within one's dantian.
“It's coming, it's coming!” Ye Xiao muttered excitedly as he felt his breakthrough was coming.
