362: The experience points required to break through the semi-saint

A long time ago, the Sky Tomb was merely a place for the strong to rest in peace.

But at some unknown point, the Sky Tomb gradually changed, becoming twisted.

Many remnant Souls of energy bodies were inexplicably imbued with the desire to devour each other.

From then on, the Sky Tomb became bloodthirsty and murderous.

Usually, only those with stronger strength could remain unaffected by this situation.

For example, someone like Xiao Xuan. Weaker individuals, like the Blood Blade Saint, could only maintain intermittent lucidity.

In the first and second layers of the Sky Tomb, those energy bodies were left with only an instinctive desire for slaughter, devoid of any reason.

At this moment, hearing Lin Xiu's words, the Blood Blade Saint, enduring his discomfort, asked in surprise, "Really?"

"Let's try it."

Lin Xiu spread his palm, and a small flame Dragon rose. The purplish-brown flame flickered, gradually separating into a silver flame.

If one were to gaze at this silver flame, one could faintly see a silver Dragon coiling within, and in one's mind, one might even hear the sounds of Dragon roars.

Lin Xiu looked at him. "This is the Nine Dragon Lightning Flame. The flame contains Dragon roars, which have the ability to deter the Soul. I will try to use it to cleanse your remnant Soul."

"Do you have confidence?"

The Blood Blade Saint's eyes flickered, revealing a hint of hesitation.

He had naturally heard of the Strange Flame Ranking's twenty-third ranked flame, and now learning that it would be used to forge his Soul, he couldn't help but feel apprehensive.

"Now there's an opportunity to live like a normal person right in front of you. Don't you want to give it a try? Do you want to continue living like this, neither human nor ghost?"

Lin Xiu said in a deep voice.

The Blood Blade Saint nodded. "It's better to live a bad life than to die a good one. I'll adjust myself."

"No wonder he was still a Half-Saint even in death."

Noticing the other party's fear, Lin Xiu provoked him unceremoniously.

"Heh! This Saint hates it most when others look down on him. You brat, since your strength is stronger than mine anyway, why don't you just force it? As if I could resist, it's annoying."

The Blood Blade Saint puffed out his beard and glared, saying that one shouldn't hit someone's Face. How could this person stab at someone's wound?

Lin Xiu understood his meaning and commanded the Nine Dragon Lightning Flame to directly rush into the Blood Blade Saint's head.

Facing the incoming silver flame, the Blood Blade Saint's eyes trembled slightly, but in the end, he did not resist.

At worst, it was death. There was no hope in such a life, and he had had enough.

A hint of relief flashed in his eyes, and then he closed them.

"Watch it carefully; don't let that remnant Soul disappear."

Lin Xiu instructed the little fire Dragon. Seeing that there was nothing else to do, he began to absorb the One-Star Dou Sheng crystal core... On the other side.

Xiao Yan and the others were on their way.

Because it was a projection, Xiao Xuan disappeared after giving his instructions.

And he wasn't worried that Xiao Yan would be in trouble.

After all, he had displayed his power earlier.

The third layer of the Sky Tomb was not large, and everyone was familiar with each other. If anyone didn't give Xiao Xuan Face, then they should be prepared for their home to be gone... The silent gray mist suddenly swelled like a balloon, and then two figures rushed out from within.

"You Cultivate here. I need to recover."

Hun Diao, like throwing trash, dropped Hun Li and projected his figure into the stone tablet ahead.

Bang!

Falling to the ground, Hun Li lay there dejectedly, his eyes somewhat blank.

After a while, he slowly sat up, rubbed his Face hard, and said, "No wonder there are fewer and fewer Soul Clan Old Ancestors in the Sky Tomb. It turns out they were all killed by Xiao Xuan."

Recalling the scene of Xiao Xuan's attack, Hun Li's eyes couldn't help but show a look of terror.

That wasn't even Xiao Xuan's main body; it was just a projection's strike.

Now everything was over.

The path to the second layer was blocked by an energy barrier, and the Old Ancestors they could find were one dead and one injured.

Xiao Xuan could definitely kill him. Keeping him alive was probably for Xiao Yan to gain experience.

However, could he last until then? He always felt that Lin Xiu's gaze towards him was not right.

Hun Li's Face was as bitter as could be, unable to smile at all.

Hun Ya's decision earlier was correct. If he hadn't come in, he would still be alive. How could he be like this, with no escape?

Thinking of this, Hun Li scrambled to the stone tablet. "Senior Hun Diao, let me hide inside too."

After wailing a few times, the stone tablet emitted a halo and sucked Hun Li in... In a blink of an eye, a week passed.

Lin Xiu slowly opened his eyes, a glint of light flashed, and a faint arc curved at the corner of his mouth. "I've reached the Peak of the Nine Revolutions Dou Zun Realm."

"To Breakthrough this stage, the experience needed is almost a small goal, tsk."

Looking at the information on the panel, Lin Xiu couldn't help but click his tongue.

All along.

From Dou Zun to Dou Sheng, there was a huge chasm. In terms of titles, they were only one word apart.

However, their strengths were completely not on the same level.

From Dou Zun Peak to Half-Saint was just one step away, but this step, some people spent their entire lives trying to cross and never did.

The one Lin Xiu remembered most vividly was Yao Chen, an Alchemist who had once astonished the continent in his early days, but was held back by this very bottleneck.

He later became a Half-Saint by Breakthroughing with the help of a Dou Sheng bone provided by Xiao Yan.

This time, Lin Xiu gave the skeleton to Yao Tianhuo. To this day, Yao Chen has only recovered his former Peak strength, still trapped within the Dou Zun Realm.

It is said that to Breakthrough this step, there is a unique Cultivation method.

This is the so-called Nine Revolutions to Sainthood.

"Xiao Yan relied on the Bodhi Ancient Tree's hundred Reincarnations to cross this threshold. This time, I seem to have directly materialized it, rather than it being vague."

Lin Xiu's gaze fell on the experience bar next to the Realm, nearly a hundred million experience points, which was truly daunting.

However.

This was the Sky Tomb, where energy bodies existed, which could reduce a lot of trouble.

"The previous Dou Sheng crystal core provided almost forty million experience. If I can get three more, it will be enough for me to advance to Half-Saint."

Lin Xiu couldn't help but fantasize for a moment, then shook his head. "Don't court death."

From his previous encounters, he could feel the gap between himself and a Dou Sheng.

Before reaching Half-Saint, trying to fight a Dou Sheng across ranks was not very realistic.

"However, if I can't fight a full-strength Dou Sheng, can't I fight an injured one?"

Lin Xiu murmured, the image of the Dou Sheng energy body who left with Hun Li flashing in his mind.

The other party took a blow from Xiao Xuan; it was impossible for him to be unaffected.

And he wasn't alone; he also had the Blood Blade Saint.

In fact, he could even advance to Half-Saint before looking for that person, and it wouldn't be too late.

"Hun Li definitely cannot be let go. Anyway, the Soul Clan has already been offended. Moreover, he has Soul Clan blood in him, and perhaps I can analyze information about the Void Swallowing Flame or the Spirit Devouring Clan from it."

Lin Xiu didn't continue to ponder, because the Blood Blade Saint had already woken up, and his aura was recovering.

Although the blood-fiend Qi was still present, it was much calmer than before.

"Brother Lin, awesome!"

Opening his eyes, the Blood Blade Saint felt more refreshed than ever before. For a moment, he didn't know how to describe his feelings, and he gave Lin Xiu a thumbs up.

Lin Xiu stood up and smiled slightly. "Since you're well, let's set off. We'll start with Half-Saints."
