352: Integrating the Heavenly Level Body Skills

This was a desolate space, filled with a grey mist that made visibility hazy and indistinct.

There was no sound, an extreme quiet, and occasionally, a strange flicker of fire would flash in the distance.

Buzz!

The Void Realm trembled slightly, twisting to form a portal, from which a figure was then ejected.

“Is this the Sky Tomb? It’s filled with a sense of decay, but the energy is indeed abundant.”

Standing on the ground, Lin Xiu surveyed his surroundings, his gaze settling on a patch of mist ahead.

There, the mist surged like ocean waves.

And just as Lin Xiu was observing it, the mist behind him suddenly thinned, and then a somewhat ethereal figure emerged.

The figure held a blade in its raised hand, poised to strike down on Lin Xiu’s head.

Hiss!

Suddenly, a deflating sound, like a balloon being pricked, emanated.

Lin Xiu turned his head and caught a rhomboid crystal floating in the air.

He glanced at it, then clenched his five fingers.

The Qi and Blood Condensation Art circulated, and a pure energy from the crystal flowed into his palm, surging towards his Dantian.

This power was as gentle as spring water, carrying a hint of coolness, and without much transformation, it became a part of his body.

“Absorbing the energy of heaven and earth to transform into Fighting Qi always takes some time. This energy, however, is convenient, even more direct and convenient than Medicinal Pills.”

Lin Xiu opened his palm; the crystal had already turned to powder, which slipped away as he turned his hand, “It’s just too little; it only added twenty thousand experience.”

“Name: Lin Xiu”

“Age: 29”

“Realm: Nine-star Dou Zun (102w / 1900w)”

“Space: Hand Control Progress (99%)”

“Physique: Eighth-Rank Perfection (99%)”

“Soul: Heaven Realm Early Stage (20%)”

“Aptitude: Ninth-Rank”

“Abilities:”

“Heaven Rank Intermediate: Qi and Blood Condensation Art lv14 (Max)”

“Heaven Rank Elementary: Yuan Beast Star Spirit Body lv13 (Max)”

“Heaven Rank Elementary: Guiyuan Forbidden Extinction Method lv13 (Max)”

“Heaven Rank Elementary: Great Creation Palm lv13 (Max)”

“Earth High-Rank: Nine Thousand Thunder Movement lv12 (Max)”

... “Attribute Points: 11”

... “Still need eighteen million experience to reach Nine-star Dou Zun Perfection. After that, the Nine Revolutions will probably require a lot of experience too, and there’s still the Half-Saint above that...”

Lin Xiu took a deep breath, then shot towards the entrance of the Sky Tomb’s second layer.

The overall structure of the Sky Tomb resembled an inverted pyramid, with the first layer being the largest and the third layer the smallest.

Although there were many energy bodies in the first layer, most of them were not strong, making them useless to Lin Xiu.

“From the first layer to the second layer, it’s estimated to take a few months, but that doesn’t have much to do with me.”

Flying in the air, Lin Xiu found that due to the strong energy pressure in this area, flying for extended periods consumed a great deal of his own energy.

Even Lin Xiu needed to recover by walking every now and then.

As for tearing space, it was impossible to do so here.

He had tried to use the Void Ancient Dragon’s talent, but the result was a bruised head.

“The things left by the Dou Di are indeed interesting. It’s hard to find a place with such strong pressure in the outside world. It’s a good opportunity to raise the Rank of my movement Fighting Skills.”

Movement Fighting Skills were not simply about movement, so even though Lin Xiu could easily tear space for instant teleportation in the outside world, he still coveted movement Fighting Skills.

In the following time, Lin Xiu continuously used various movement Fighting Skills, immersed in the Cultivation of improving their Rank, and did not feel bored.

In a flash, Lin Xiu had been in the Sky Tomb for a full two months.

“Currently, “Nine Thousand Thunder Movement”, “Dragon Roaming Steps”, “...” can be Fused. Do you wish to proceed with Fusion?”

“You consumed 1 attribute point and obtained the Heaven Rank Elementary Fighting Skill “Aurora Phantom Body”.”

“Aurora Phantom Body?”

A large amount of information surfaced in his mind, and Lin Xiu muttered softly as he digested it.

Not long after, the Heaven Rank Elementary movement Fighting Skill had its Rank directly maxed out.

Lin Xiu digested all the information and could already skillfully control it.

Taking a step forward, two other figures rushed out of Lin Xiu’s body.

Three Lin Xius simultaneously rushed forward, leaving behind a trail of afterimages.

These afterimages moved nimbly, with light occasionally flashing in their eyes.

A thousand meters away, Lin Xiu turned around, looking at the numerous figures.

“The speed is similar to the Nine Thousand Thunder Movement, but with just a thought, I can appear inside any afterimage at will, making my form even more elusive compared to the Thunder Phantom Body.”

After experiencing the effects of the Aurora Phantom Body, Lin Xiu revealed a satisfied smile.

“Although the speed hasn’t increased much compared to the Nine Thousand Thunder Movement, there’s one particularly good thing: I can now ignore the energy pressure of the Sky Tomb.”

Before his soft laughter in the air had faded, Lin Xiu had already transformed into a speck of light, disappearing into the distance... Today was the fifth month since the Sky Tomb opened.

Boom! Boom!

Flames splattered, and sounds roared.

An energy body let out a mournful wail, yet it could not escape the fate of being consumed by the flames.

A slender jade hand gently beckoned, and the energy core shot over, landing in her palm.

“Is this really the Sky Tomb?”

The woman’s face was veiled, and a tone of suspicion emanated from behind the veil.

Beside her, Huo Xuan frowned deeply, “It is indeed a bit strange. According to the clan’s descriptions, there should be many energy bodies in the Sky Tomb.”

“Yes, we’ve already entered the second layer, but let alone nine-star energy bodies, even eight-star and seven-star ones are rare. I really suspect if we entered a fake Sky Tomb.”

A strong sense of confusion and frustration flashed in Huo Zhi’s exposed eyes.

“Here.”

Tossing an energy core to Huo Zhi, Huo Xuan asked, “After absorbing it, you should be able to Breakthrough to eight-star, right?”

Huo Zhi shook her head, “At least one more eight-star energy core.”

After speaking, she sighed, feeling very frustrated.

The situation inside the Sky Tomb was completely different from what she had anticipated.

Her original plan to attempt a Breakthrough to Nine-star Dou Zun here was likely in jeopardy.

Whoosh!

In the distance, two energy bodies appeared.

Upon seeing them, Huo Xuan and Huo Zhi immediately prepared for battle, but then saw the two energy bodies turn and flee.

“They ran away?”

In this situation, Huo Xuan was stunned. The energy bodies in the Sky Tomb’s second layer possessed some instincts from their former lives, but they should be more savage and bloodthirsty.

Why had they become timid and fearful?

He felt that even with Huo Zhi’s combined strength, they hadn’t reached a level that would scare two eight-star energy bodies.

“Don’t just stand there! We finally ran into them, we can’t let them get away like this. One for each of us.”

A fierce glint flashed in Huo Zhi’s eyes, and she immediately chased after one of them.

“Huo Zhi, don’t run off recklessly, it’s dangerous!”

Huo Xuan shouted.

But all he heard was Huo Zhi’s voice.

“I’ll wait for you at the entrance to the third layer.”

Without looking back, Huo Zhi chased the energy body and disappeared into the distant mist.

“Sigh...”

Huo Xuan sighed and turned to run in the direction the other energy body had left.

The Sky Tomb had completely changed. The number of energy bodies in the second layer had sharply decreased. Huo Zhi’s own strength was not weak, and she had the Red Lotus Karma Fire protecting her, so she should be fine.

He should take this opportunity to collect more energy cores; otherwise, this trip to the Sky Tomb would truly be in vain... In the depths of the firmament, a beam of light shot out, falling directly to the ground and transforming into an incredibly thick wall.

This wall was transparent, and one’s gaze could penetrate it, stretching endlessly.

At this moment.

Beside the wall, which was like a natural chasm, was a grey mist, dark dust, and a figure sitting cross-legged.

The surrounding energy converged towards this figure, and when the energy within his body reached its peak, the converging energy suddenly lost its pull and scattered.

Dust flew up, spreading outwards.

“This mother worm is indeed a bit tricky. If not for this energy wall, I could crush it with one hand!”

Lin Xiu exhaled, looking at the energy wall with a hint of helplessness.
