Chapter 785: Chapter 412: My Name, You Cannot Bear_2
He prepared to set up the Domain Qimen Great Formation to fend off the slash from the Netherworld Blood Child.
At this moment, several figures descended.
"Master?!"
Fang Hao was startled, looked at his master, and felt puzzled. Why did his master seem somewhat different?
Li Xuan nodded, gazed down at the Heavenly Grotto, especially at the slash that the Blood Child had formed by blood refining itself, and turned back to Jiang Buping, saying, "As a teacher, I will only take action this once. How much you can learn and perceive depends entirely on you."
Jiang Buping's expression was solemn as he respectfully nodded, "Yes, Master!"
The likes of Emperor Da Yue were overjoyed upon hearing this.
The high-ranking predecessor is going to take action, and the Da Yue Abyss must be leveled!
Looking at Jiang Buping, they couldn't help but feel immensely grateful. If it hadn't been for the predecessor's desire to teach his disciple, he might not have taken action at all. They owed a lot to Jiang Buping.
The Netherworld Blood Child below in the Heavenly Grotto, holding that scarlet long knife, had a solemn look in his eyes as he stared at Li Xuan's Extreme Soul Body, sensing a strong feeling of danger.
Li Xuan raised his hand, and the Extreme Path Soul Soldier appeared in his grasp.
As soon as the Extreme Path Soul Soldier appeared, Emperor Da Yue and the others had looks of utter shock on their faces, and they hurriedly averted their gaze.
Too terrifying!
Just one glance gave them a feeling as if their Divine Soul was being torn apart.
What Divine Weapon is this?
Jiang Buping looked at the Extreme Path Soul Soldier in his master's hand and then at his own Extreme Soul Divine Weapon, and immediately felt an immense sense of disparity—far too great.
"This is the Extreme Path Soul Soldier, and you still need to strive to nurture it. Your Soul Soldier can only be considered basic."
Li Xuan gently caressed the Extreme Path Soul Soldier with one hand.
His gaze fell on the Blood Child with a heavy face and said indifferently, "You from the Netherworld like to practice Blood Refining; now I give you the opportunity, continue your blood refining, or you will have no chance left!"
"Who are you?" the Blood Child asked in a deep voice.
"My name is not something you can withstand!"
Li Xuan's gaze was indifferent, as if he was disregarding ants.
Boom!
Below the Heavenly Grotto, a group of Blood Slaves turned into streams of blood light, constantly surging into the long knife in the Blood Child's hand.
Even the remaining Blood Children became ruthless at this moment, blood refining themselves.
Rumble!
The Heaven and Earth Laws at the edge of the Heavenly Cave Entrance were trembling, and a large number of Blood Slaves in the grotto disappeared in an instant, leaving only three Blood Children.
Each one of them was holding a scarlet long knife.
Their strength had risen to the limit allowed by the Abyss.
And the killing knife forged through blood refining had become even stronger.
"Is this all?"
Li Xuan gave an indifferent smile.
His profound gaze looked into the depths of the Heavenly Grotto. As the number of Blood Disciples, Blood Slaves, and Blood Children decreased, the grotto could accommodate new Netherworld Blood Children entering.
Thus, deeper inside the Abyss, more Blood Children descended.
"Extreme Soul Martial Arts eradicates the soul and destroys the body, an unrivaled offensive prowess that primarily focuses on soul eradication and secondarily on body destruction. All techniques are based on soul destruction.
"For every creature in the world, the extinction of the soul leads to nothingness, all becomes void.
"It's difficult to defend against the Divine Soul, yet not easy to destroy, but Extreme Soul Martial Arts was born to slay the Divine Soul—Extreme Soul Path, using one's ultimate soul to annihilate the souls of all living beings."
Li Xuan explained to Jiang Buping as he raised the Extreme Path Soul Soldier and slowly thrusted the spear out.
This thrust was exceedingly slow, as if any Grandmaster Martial Artist could easily dodge it.
However, facing this spear, the three Blood Children were terrified beyond measure. They couldn't evade at all and felt a profound terror descending upon their Divine Soul.
"Kill!"
With a roar, the long knives in their hands unleashed the strongest strike of their lives.
They executed the Great Technique born from blood refining!
Jiang Buping gripped his spear tightly, his eyes wide, focusing on his master's move. This thrust appeared plain and unremarkable, yet it epitomized the consummation of Extreme Soul Martial Arts.
Emperor Da Yue and others were even more shocked.
It felt like the high-ranking predecessor's spear thrust was only performed with the power of the Immortal Heavenly Venerable Realm, clearly suppressing his true power, solely to instruct his disciple.
Yet, the Emperor Da Yue and other Immortal Heavenly Venerables felt a sense that this thrust was unavoidable, undefendable, with an intense sense of crisis for their Divine Soul.
This thrust was not aimed at them, yet they all felt such terror.
This showed how horrendous the terror the three Blood Children felt when facing this thrust.
A spear thrust out, slow and untroubled, yet at the instant the three Blood Children made their move, a cold and chilling glint seemed to illuminate the entrance of the Heavenly Grotto.
This bone-chilling coldness was not perceived by the flesh, but felt by the Divine Soul!
Pff!
The three Blood Children's eyes instantly became vacant, and the attacks that had just erupted also dissipated, as if their Divine Soul Consciousness had been utterly extinguished.
Li Xuan took a step forward, spear in hand, and entered the Heavenly Grotto.
As he moved, the bodily form of Xuezhi crumbled to dust and vanished, while the remaining Blood Slaves and Blood Disciples at the entrance of the Heavenly Grotto collapsed to the ground, devoid of any trace of Divine Soul Consciousness, leaving behind only empty husks.
As Li Xuan stepped in, those empty husks also turned to dust and dispersed.
Gulp!
Emperor Da Yue and the others swallowed their saliva, their hearts trembling.
Such powerful Netherworld Warriors were nearly breaking through the Heavenly Grotto's defenses, yet the elder only struck once, and all the enemies turned to dust and vanished.
What's more terrifying is that the elder seemed to have suppressed his own cultivation, merely striking with the power of the Immortal Heavenly Venerable Realm?
A true master indeed.
"Is this Extreme Soul Martial Arts, is this Extreme Soul Divine Skill?!"
Jiang Buping murmured to himself, excited and shocked.
"Fifth Junior Brother, you must work hard in your cultivation," said Su Lingxiu as she patted Jiang Buping's shoulder with a smile, having recovered from her shock.
She then eagerly followed into the Heavenly Grotto.
"I will work hard!"
Jiang Buping clenched the spear in his hands, his expression firm, envisioning the scene of striking down an Immortal Heavenly Venerable with one thrust.
It was too shocking, too thrilling.
I, Jiang Buping, will surely make Extreme Soul Martial Arts renowned and feared throughout the Divine Realm!
"This spear strike, not bad at all," Li Xuan thought to himself.
He had indeed not used his true strength, yet this spear strike was powerful enough.
Under a single strike, Xuezhi's Divine Soul was obliterated, without a chance to resist.
The art of attacking the Divine Soul, truly domineering and powerful.
After stepping into the Heavenly Grotto, there was a rolling surge of blood ahead as Xuezhi led the Blood Disciples and Blood Slaves in an onslaught.
Li Xuan slightly raised the spear in his hand, and a cold gleam instantly exterminated Xuezhi, wiping out most of the Blood Disciples and Blood Slaves, then turned back to Jiang Buping and said, "Time for you to practice."
"Yes, Master!"
Jiang Buping, brimming with excitement, wielded the Extreme Soul Divine Weapon and charged into the fray.
Boom!
A terrifying spear light split the sky, turning into countless shining points, striking down upon its targets.
Extreme Soul Divine Skill, Star Extinguish!
Li Xuan nodded, Jiang Buping's talent was indeed monstrous, worthy of someone with a natural Divine Soul and one favored by great destiny.
He had already cultivated the Extreme Soul Divine Skill, Star Extinguish, quite well.
Thump!
One by one, figures fell under the Star Extinguish, their eyes hollow, Divine Souls wiped out.
However, their bodies remained, now devoid of all life.
This was also Jiang Buping's first time using his Divine Skill, and he couldn't yet achieve instantaneous soul obliteration and corporeal dissolution, which is why the Divine Souls perished, but the bodies didn't turn into dust.
Jiang Buping raised his hand and struck with his palm, within which lay a black abyss that instantaneously swallowed a Blood Disciple.
Within the consciousness of this Blood Disciple, it felt as if an abyss had descended, and at that moment, the Divine Soul could not resist at all and was consumed by the abyss, obliterating it instantly.
Li Xuan nodded again, this was the second Divine Skill Jiang Buping cultivated, Devouring Abyss!
So far, Jiang Buping had only mastered these two Divine Skills, but as for the subsequent Extreme Soul Divine Skills and the Extreme Soul Martial Arts Techniques, natural understanding would come as he fought throughout the Divine Realm.
"I want to practice as well!"
Fang Hao's blood was boiling as he excitedly slapped the Qimen Armory. In an instant, a legion of weapons poured forth, sweeping toward the Netherworld Warriors.
The Domain Qimen Great Formation materialized in the air immediately.
Boom!
In the heart of the Heavenly Grotto, bloodlight blossomed as three figures descended – they were three Blood Children.
Clearly, the Netherworld had noticed the upheaval in the Heavenly Grotto.
Li Xuan raised his spear slightly, and as soon as the newly arrived Blood Children touched down, they thudded to the ground, their gazes empty, their Divine Souls utterly extinguished.
"Master, leave their corpses," Su Lingxiu hastily spoke.
Turning around, she instructed Feng Yan, "Go quickly, bring back the corpses of the Blood Children."
"Alrighty!"
Feng Yan perked up immediately, finally it was his turn to shine.
He scurried over, grabbed the three corpses of the Blood Children, and started back. However, at that moment, peril suddenly descended, and he felt an intense danger looming in his heart.
Above the Heavenly Grotto, a drop of dark red blood was falling from the Domain Barrier.
