130: Many items have uses

With a thought in his mind, the abundant Spirit Tree Qi, like a surging river, continuously gathered towards Xiao Shi.

Now that he had become the master of the Azure Calamity Ancient Tree, he could retrieve this Spirit Tree Qi at will.

Basically, he could have as much as he wanted.

Moreover, in the process of converting this Spirit Tree Qi into Grand Yin Qi, he no longer needed contribution points.

He effortlessly converted a large amount of Grand Yin Qi.

This Grand Yin Qi surged towards the last Qi Lock.

This Qi Lock, which was covered in cracks and only a sliver away from breaking, shattered with a 'crack' sound under the impact of the abundant Grand Yin Qi.

Buzz!

As the Qi Lock shattered, an extremely massive Qi Vortex appeared within Xiao Shi’s body.

This Qi Vortex was very different from the others.

It seemed this Qi Vortex was the main vortex, and the other ninety-nine Qi Vortexes were secondary.

With the opening of this main vortex, the other ninety-nine secondary vortexes also received an incredibly huge boost.

It was as if they had been activated, transforming into another form!

Although it was only the opening of one Qi Vortex, the opening of this Qi Vortex brought about a significant qualitative change!

Xiao Shi thereby successfully broke through to the Qi Warrior Realm Great Perfection!

“As expected, the difficulty of opening the last Qi Vortex is much harder than all previous Qi Vortexes; opening this Qi Vortex is almost comparable to opening thirty-three Qi Vortexes in the past!” Xiao Shi exclaimed with emotion.

If it weren't for the Star Orb of Vortex Opening, it would have taken him a considerable amount of time to break through to the Qi Warrior Realm Great Perfection.

Now, with the breakthrough in his cultivation, Xiao Shi flipped his hand again and took out another item that had dropped: the Faint Saint Blood!

This was an extremely faint drop of blood from a certain Saint.

Although Xiao Shi did not know what level a Saint belonged to in martial arts, he realized that this level must not be low.

Even though this drop of Saint Blood was extremely faint, its efficacy and value were equally astonishing!

Xiao Shi knew that the main purpose of this drop of Saint Blood was to enhance his physical body.

Perhaps with this drop of Saint Blood, he could cultivate Vajra Bones in one fell swoop and form the Invincible Vajra Body!

After the Nine Refinements Vajra Body was cultivated to the Vajra Bones stage, the overall cultivation speed had already slowed down.

Even though Xiao Shi had been constantly cultivating with heavenly materials and earthly treasures, his progress remained slow.

To date, he had only managed to cultivate one bone in his body into a Vajra Bone, still a long way from final mastery.

This also made him clearly realize that relying solely on heavenly materials and earthly treasures to cultivate Vajra Bones would be incredibly slow and require a vast amount of time.

He needed items that could bring about a greater improvement!

The Faint Saint Blood in his hand was undoubtedly such an item.

However, this Faint Saint Blood contained a certain degree of Saint’s power.

If he were to use this Faint Saint Blood, he must be able to withstand the Saint’s power, otherwise, it would not only fail to bring improvement but would also cause harm.

Xiao Shi was not worried about this.

After all, he had the martial emperor mask, which allowed him to be immune to even the most powerful aura and pressure.

Unless a Saint was a more powerful existence than a Martial Emperor.

However, Xiao Shi felt that this possibility was not high.

Immediately, he began to refine this Faint Saint Blood.

Whoosh!

As he refined it, a terrifying aura and pressure immediately swept from the Saint Blood towards Xiao Shi’s body.

Xiao Shi’s face immediately showed the black martial emperor mask, and under its effect, he successfully immunized himself against this terrifying aura and pressure.

Subsequently, the refined Saint Blood transformed into a refined power that could bring immense improvement to the physical body.

The moment he felt this refined power, Xiao Shi immediately used it to cultivate his Vajra Bones.

Sizzle sizzle!

The improvement brought by this refined power was far greater than that brought by those heavenly materials and earthly treasures.

This caused the bones within Xiao Shi’s body to transform into Vajra Bones at an astonishing speed!

Even though Xiao Shi had anticipated it, he was still shocked by this terrifying speed.

“This is… Saint Blood?!”

In just a blink of an eye, a portion of the bones within Xiao Shi's body directly transformed into Vajra Bones!

The Vajra Bones, which required an immense amount of heavenly materials and earthly treasures to cultivate even one, were now forming in large quantities under the effect of the Saint Blood.

And the formation of each Vajra Bone brought a great degree of enhancement to Xiao Shi’s body.

His physical strength became increasingly formidable.

When all the bones in Xiao Shi’s body had turned into gleaming golden Vajra Bones, his skin, tendons, and bones all combined into one.

His body instantly radiated a brilliant golden light, shining brightly and dazzlingly.

At the same time, within this golden light, his physical strength also surged at an astonishing speed.

Originally, the cultivation of Vajra Bones only made his physical strength comparable to the Qi Warrior Realm Late Stage.

But now, with the unification of the Vajra Skin, Vajra Tendons, and Vajra Bones, his physical strength immediately soared to a level comparable to the Qi Warrior Realm Great Perfection!

And it was still continuing to climb!

This was a significant transformation process.

Once the three were unified, his body would gradually transform into the Invincible Vajra Body!

Whoosh!

The entire transformation lasted for a long time.

When the transformation was over, Xiao Shi clenched his fist.

He could clearly feel the terrifying power permeating his physical body.

Now, his physical strength alone had already reached a level comparable to the Qi Warrior Realm Great Perfection, and it was the Qi Warrior Realm Great Perfection after completing the Qi Vortex combination and condensation.

“It should… be more than this!”

Xiao Shi gently closed his eyes.

After sensing the changes in his body, his eyes suddenly opened.

In an instant, a brilliant golden light burst forth as he opened his eyes!

His figure immediately expanded at a visible speed, his body continuously growing larger, directly transforming into a massive giant three meters tall!

Golden light shimmered on his body, his skin appearing as if it were coated with golden paint.

His muscles were bulging, like an enraged Vajra!

It was precisely… the Invincible Vajra Body!

In this state, Xiao Shi could clearly feel that his strength was far greater than in his normal state.

“Is this… power comparable to the Blood Martial Realm?” Xiao Shi’s eyes gleamed with excitement.

As a Heaven-grade body refining cultivation technique, once the Nine Refinements Vajra Body was cultivated to the Invincible Vajra Body, it possessed formidable combat power capable of transcending a realm!

It is important to know that transcending a major realm is an extremely difficult feat.

Especially as the realms get higher, the gap between realms becomes even greater!

The gap between the Qi Martial Realm and the Blood Martial Realm is much larger than the gap between the Qi Martial Realm and the Entering Martial Realm.

A martial artist who possesses strength comparable to the Blood Martial Realm while in the Qi Martial Realm is extremely rare, even throughout the entire Tianwu Continent.

However, although Xiao Shi could possess power comparable to the Blood Martial Realm when activating the Invincible Vajra Body, this state caused a significant drain on his stamina.

It could not be maintained for too long.

Secondly, the Invincible Vajra Body also possessed a unique characteristic: it could not be defeated!

Should a defeat occur, the entire Vajra Body would be broken, causing a significant drop in strength.

Even if it were activated again in the future, its power would be greatly reduced and unable to reach its current intensity!

This is somewhat similar to the 'Boy Skill' (Tong Zi Gong)... but the 'Boy Skill' is about not breaking one's virginity.

And the Vajra Body is about not being defeated.

“It seems I need to be cautious when using the Invincible Vajra Body against enemies in the future…” Xiao Shi thought to himself.

Especially when facing enemies stronger than himself, he must not use it lightly.

Otherwise, one defeat would mean the subsequent loss of this powerful effect.

In addition to this, Xiao Shi could also feel that besides its formidable combat power, the Invincible Vajra Body also possessed some other special aspects.

However, he would need to study these slowly later.

After completing the cultivation of the Nine Refinements Vajra Body, Xiao Shi continued to take out the dropped items.

This time, he took out the enlightenment bead.

Xiao Shi was also very much looking forward to the killing move within the enlightenment bead.

Although he now had the Absolute Severing Blade Technique, which was sufficient in terms of moves, the killing move recorded in the enlightenment bead was definitely much more powerful than ordinary blade techniques!

After all, given the preciousness of the enlightenment bead, it would be difficult to find even one in the entire vast Tian Dou Province, or even the Star Luo Territory.

Xiao Shi immediately held the enlightenment bead and began to comprehend the powerful killing move within it.

Usually, while the enlightenment bead was precious and rare, even if one obtained it, they would need sufficiently powerful comprehension to grasp the killing move within.

If one's comprehension was insufficient, owning the enlightenment bead would be useless.

Xiao Shi was quite confident in his own comprehension.

After all, he had been taking pills to enhance his comprehension since the Entering Martial Realm; even if his initial comprehension wasn't great, after being boosted by so many pills, it had already reached a level difficult for ordinary people to achieve.

Immediately, the moment he held the enlightenment bead, Xiao Shi’s mind suddenly shook.

A clear image emerged in his mind.

This image was of a blood-stained giant axe.

The entire giant axe was crashing down.

This axe strike was simple and unadorned, seemingly nothing extraordinary.

If an ordinary person saw this axe strike… they would surely not see anything special.

But Xiao Shi saw something different in this simple axe strike.

He felt that this simple axe strike seemed to contain a certain profound Dao charm, earth-shattering!

The falling giant axe directly struck a black shadow.

A piercing scream, unheard by the ears but perceptible by the soul, erupted from the black shadow.

The entire scene abruptly stopped there.

Although it had ended, the axe strike he had just witnessed still echoed in Xiao Shi’s mind.

This axe strike brought him immense shock.

Especially the momentum it contained when it fell, which deeply shocked him, as if it was etched into his soul, unforgettable.

At the same time, the enlightenment bead in Xiao Shi’s hand, after presenting this image in his mind, shattered in response.

Clearly, the previous scene could only be comprehended once.

The difficulty of comprehending something from this brief scene was extremely immense!

Xiao Shi continuously recalled the axe strike from the previous scene.

While recalling, he raised his hand, instinctively wanting to imitate it.

Each imitation brought him profound insights.

Through continuous imitation, his comprehension of this axe strike deepened.

He even experienced some mental enhancement.

This enhancement made Xiao Shi’s thoughts more acute, and as his right hand rose and fell, it subtly began to carry a hint of the giant axe’s descending power from the image.

This greatly surprised him.

He felt that if he continued to comprehend in this manner, he would gradually grasp the essence of this axe strike.

However, he also knew that this would take some time and could not be achieved in a short period.

After comprehending for a while, Xiao Shi temporarily stopped and continued to take out the dropped items.

He took out the corrosion breath.

This was a special aura, quite different from auras like Grand Yin Qi.

The corrosion breath was not used for the opening of Qi Vortexes.

According to the item’s description and notes, this aura needed to be refined, and then one could master an ability called ‘Corrosion’.

However, there was no further record of this ability.

Its specific function and effect would only be known after mastering it.

Xiao Shi immediately attempted to refine it.

However, what he didn’t expect was that the entire refinement process was incredibly difficult.

It failed at the very beginning.

It seemed very hard to succeed.

“Could it be because the corrosion breath and I are not compatible? So it’s difficult to refine?” Xiao Shi frowned.

The notes for the corrosion breath clearly stated: “Refinement will have a certain degree of difficulty; it needs to be compatible with oneself to be refined.”

The current difficulty Xiao Shi faced in refining it already indicated that the corrosion breath and he were not compatible.

“Although I cannot refine it, perhaps… it can!” Xiao Shi’s gaze suddenly fixed on the Tree Shadow on the ground.

He thought of letting the Tree Shadow refine the corrosion breath!

Immediately, he controlled the Tree Shadow and tried to make it refine the corrosion breath.

Buzz!

At once, Xiao Shi clearly felt that the Tree Shadow was much smoother in refining the corrosion breath than he was.

There were no problems encountered during the process.

It was incredibly smooth.

In an instant, the entire Tree Shadow successfully completed the refinement of the corrosion breath.

Swoosh!

Xiao Shi clearly saw that after refining the corrosion breath, a mouth appeared on each branch of the Tree Shadow!

Xiao Shi’s eyes flickered, deep in thought.

He took out a Qi Warrior Grade weapon.

Controlling one of the branches, he opened its large mouth and bit down fiercely on the Qi Warrior Grade weapon.

Crack!

Even a Qi Warrior Grade weapon was easily bitten apart by this mouth, and a harsh chewing sound rang out.

And after biting and swallowing this Qi Warrior Grade weapon, this branch was actually able to form the shape of that Qi Warrior Grade weapon!
