37: Chapter 37 Ten Thousand Snake Gorge, the Battle Emperor Descends

"A Dou Huang-level black snake? With such high intelligence, claiming the mountain as its own and collecting protection fees?"

Hun Tiandi heard this, his handsome face showing a strange expression.

"It is a Tier 6 Magical Beast with strong intelligence. The black snake, Commander Xia Qing, consumed a Transformation Herb, shedding its magical beast form, and its intelligence is higher than others of the same tier."

Han Tian said. Being a black snake magical beast, he controls the poisonous snakes below Tier 4 in the Ten Thousand Snake Gorge.

With ten thousand snakes moving, anyone would have to be cautious.

"A Transformation Herb? That herb is extremely rare and only works on magical beasts; that is a Tier 7 pill!"

Hun Tiandi looked astonished.

Some magical beast clans are extremely fond of this type of pill.

Hearing this, Hun Tiandi finally breathed a sigh of relief, understanding why Han Xue and the others were so wary of passing through Ten Thousand Snake Gorge.

After all, the strongest in this caravan was Han Xue, who had the strength of a five-star Dou Huang.

Compared to Commander Xia Qing, she was slightly lacking.

"I hope that guy won't be too excessive! Brother Yun Tian, rest early, I still have to keep watch!"

Han Tian sighed lightly and turned to walk outside the camp.

Hun Tiandi looked at the quiet camp, could only shake his head helplessly, and turned back to his tent.

Back in the tent, Hun Tiandi did not rest; he pondered in his heart, fearing there would be a significant crisis tomorrow.

In terms of Fighting Qi cultivation, even ten Hun Tiandis would not be a match for Commander Xia Qing right now, but he had other trump cards.

"Soul power?"

The God Refining Art passed down by the heart of samsara contained a type of soul Dou Technique, which could be called a Soul Technique.

Dou Techniques that cultivate the soul are extremely rare on the Fighting Qi Continent, even among the eight ancient clans passed down from ancient times.

They only had cultivation techniques for the soul, but no offensive Dou Techniques, which are Soul Techniques.

The God Refining Art, which cultivates soul power, actually came with a Soul Technique. If news of this Soul Technique were to spread, the entire Fighting Qi Continent would be in an uproar.

And the fate of him, Hun Tiandi, would be a death with no burial place.

Hun Tiandi had a certain talent in cultivating Fighting Qi, but he was not confident about cultivating Soul Techniques.

He was not a god; he couldn't just master any cultivation technique or Dou Technique with ease and make rapid progress.

"Soul Technique: Soul Weapon Art!"

The essence of the Soul Weapon Art lies in offense and slaughter—it is purely for attack, possessing extreme killing power.

The Soul Weapon Art has seven levels. After cultivation, it allows soul power to possess powerful aggression, directly attacking and destroying the souls of others.

Although this Soul Technique has powerful attack capabilities, it is very difficult to cultivate, requiring the consumption of a large number of souls.

Therefore, the refinement of the ten thousand soul banner must be put on the agenda.

Once the ten thousand soul banner is refined, the speed of collecting souls will increase significantly, which will also be helpful for the cultivation of the Soul Weapon Art.

"Since that's the case, then I shall begin cultivating the Soul Weapon Art!"

The Soul Weapon Art has flaws; it emphasizes slaughter and attack, but does not focus on defense.

A famous person once said: The best defense is offense!

Once successfully cultivated, soul power will turn crimson. The seven levels are: Crimson, Orange, Yellow, Green, Cyan, Blue, and Purple.

Every time the Soul Weapon Art breaks through a level, the soul power changes to a corresponding color.

Among them, Tier 1 corresponds to crimson, Tier 2 to orange, Tier 3 to yellow, Tier 4 to green, Tier 5 to cyan, Tier 6 to blue, and Tier 7 to purple.

Among these, crimson soul power has the lowest power, and purple soul power is the strongest!

Whether it is divine sense or soul power, both are emitted from a person's source soul.

Hun Tiandi was not lacking in cultivation techniques or Dou Techniques; in fact, he had too many.

He only chose one or two that suited him.

"Senior Brother Lin, has that brat Yun Tian received word and already gone into hiding?"

The speaker was one of the people following Senior Brother Lin Yunfeng, out to hunt down Hun Tiandi.

They had been tracking for two days without detecting any trace of Hun Tiandi, which made Senior Brother Lin Yunfeng very angry. However, there was still a year left; as long as they didn't give up, they would eventually find him.

"Hmph, that brat cannot escape, keep chasing!"

Senior Brother Lin Yunfeng said angrily. He drew the long sword in his hand and slashed into the air. Sharp sword Qi flew, tearing through the air with a whistling sound.

A large tree, as thick as an adult's waist, three zhang away, was blasted into several pieces by the fierce sword Qi.

The seven people continued to search for traces of Hun Tiandi.

Hun Tiandi firmly believed that cultivation techniques and Dou Techniques are not about quantity, but quality.

Up until now, Hun Tiandi's cultivation techniques and Dou Techniques were: Blood Scripture, Ten Thousand Sword Art, Half-Step Crushing Fist, Three Thousand Lightning Movement, God Refining Art, and Basic Sword Art.

First, the Blood Scripture is his main cultivation technique. Although it is not yet in use, once he finds an opportunity to locate Innate Blood, he can evolve it.

At least for now, Hun Tiandi already knew of the existence of one type of Innate Blood.

His Senior Brother Jian Wuchen, who possessed the Innate Sword Body.

The Fighting Qi Continent is so vast; finding an innate physique is extremely difficult because they are too rare.

They are even rarer than the Heavenly Flames naturally nurtured by the world.

To cultivate to perfection and evolve it into a High-Tier Heaven-Grade cultivation technique, the time required is immeasurable.

Perhaps, hundreds of years would pass, and Hun Tiandi still wouldn't have found an innate physique.

In fact, Hun Tiandi knew of another innate physique's existence, and even had a bold idea.

That was Hun Tiandi himself, his innate physique: Blood God Body.

"If pushed to the limit and he cannot find an innate physique, he would refine his own Blood God Body to evolve the Blood Scripture."

Hun Tiandi roared in his heart.

Second is the Ten Thousand Sword Art, the signature technique of the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion in the Central Plains. It is a sword-based cultivation technique that converts Fighting Qi into sword Qi, using the sword Qi to temper the body.

It makes the physical body ten times stronger than others of the same tier.

Third is the soul cultivation technique: God Refining Art, and the Soul Technique: Soul Weapon Art.

The God Refining Art is used to strengthen soul power. Due to the special innate environment, his soul power was currently at the mid-stage of the Mortal Realm.

Hun Tiandi had not yet cultivated the Soul Weapon Art, but to deal with the Dou Huang-level powerhouse, the black snake Commander Xia Qing, tomorrow, he had to get started.

Dou Techniques: Half-Step Crushing Fist, Basic Sword Art; Movement Technique: Three Thousand Lightning Movement.

The Soul Weapon Art is very difficult to cultivate. If one does not consume souls and relies solely on self-cultivation, perhaps even a thousand years would not be enough to master it.

The Soul Weapon Art is divided into: Soul Transformation and Weapon Condensation.

Soul Transformation is naturally about changing the state of one's own soul power; the first tier is crimson...

Weapon Condensation is condensing the form of soul power into the shape one desires, such as a blade, spear, sword... as long as it is a weapon form with extremely strong aggression, it will suffice.

Operating the Soul Weapon Art, he began to change the white soul light ball in his sea of consciousness, bit by bit, gradually turning it pale crimson.

As time passed, under the faint strands of power descending from the heart of samsara, the conversion speed was extremely fast, changing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The soul power changed from white to pale crimson, and the killing power of the soul power increased tenfold.

Regarding the use of soul power, he had used it before to destroy a sea of consciousness.

It had saved his life twice in danger.

But that was only a crude application; now that he was cultivating the Soul Weapon Art, the Soul Technique was truly powerful and eerie.

Hum!

The space of the sea of consciousness trembled; all the white soul power had transformed into pale crimson. The first stage of Soul Transformation was complete.

The next stage was Weapon Condensation; the weapon chosen for condensation was very important.

"Choose the sword!"

Hun Tiandi opened his eyes, a trace of excitement appearing in them, and he said softly.

Simply because swords are dashing!

Subsequently, the crimson light ball in the sea of consciousness gradually changed and began to compress—the circle became an ellipse, the ellipse became a pillar, and finally, it transformed into a crude sword shape.

The pale crimson sword-shaped soul power swam through the sea of consciousness, emitting a faint pale crimson glow.

It was still very crude right now and needed to be meticulously polished.

This process would take a long time at the very least before the pale crimson sword-shaped soul could take its final form.

With a thought, he operated the Soul Weapon Art and began to stabilize the form.

After cultivating the Soul Weapon Art, Hun Tiandi's soul had completely changed its form; from then on, it would reside in the sea of consciousness in the shape of a sword.

Whoosh!

"Brother Yun, are you awake? It's time to go!"

Hun Tiandi had just woken up when a familiar voice sounded outside the tent; the person who had arrived was none other than Han Tian.
