Batian Martial Soul

The Blood Calamity True Demon Palace is a mysterious and dangerous place, hiding countless secrets and treasures.

Ling Xiao went through countless hardships before finally finding the demon statue in this palace.

This golem is of great significance to Ling Xiao, as it can help him truly cultivate to the first transformation of the Nine Transformations of the True Demon.

The Nine Transformations of the True Demon is an extremely powerful and mysterious technique. Once mastered, it grants the user the power to destroy the heavens and the earth.

The first transformation is the foundation of the entire technique and is of paramount importance.

Integration and absorption!
These two simple words, however, initiated an extremely dangerous and precarious process.

That golem was no ordinary thing; it was an extremely ferocious being, a product of highly condensed killing intent and demonic intent.

The power contained within it is extremely fierce and violent, like a volcano about to erupt, containing endless destructive power.

Although Ling Xiao was a demonic cultivator with exceptional talent in the demonic path, possessing comprehension and potential that were difficult for others to match, facing this demonic statue was like facing an insurmountable mountain.

These two are like two raging dragons, each carrying a violent aura and immense power.

If they meet, and are not careful, they will not only fail to merge as Ling Xiao wishes, but will instead trigger a devastating explosion.

The power of the explosion was enough to turn everything around into dust; even this incredibly sturdy void warship might not be able to withstand it.

Ling Xiao was completely focused at this moment, and fine beads of sweat had already seeped from his forehead.

The beads of sweat, like glistening pearls, slid slowly down his taut cheek, gathering into a larger droplet on his chin before dripping down.

However, before the water droplets could even touch the ship's deck, they were instantly evaporated into nothingness by the surrounding killing intent and demonic energy, leaving only a faint trace of water vapor.

He concentrated all his energy and transformed it into the most precise carving knife.

This carving knife, carrying his will and determination, carefully guides and harmonizes the two roaring forces.

The golem's power was like a ferocious beast, rampaging wildly.

Ling Xiao's own demonic spiritual power acted like a sturdy dam, attempting to tame it.

Ling Xiao knew that he couldn't rush things; he could only proceed step by step.

He used his soul power as a buffer, gradually permeating it into the two forces.

Soul power, like a gentle spring breeze, softly caressed the violent force, attempting to wear away its unruly nature.

Every contact was accompanied by enormous risks, but Ling Xiao did not back down in the slightest. He gritted his teeth, persevered, and tried his best to force the two forces to merge together.

Time seemed to be stretched out by an invisible hand at this moment, and every breath became incredibly long.

Every breath was filled with the low growls of demons and the hissing of spiritual energy.

That growl, like a summons from hell, sent chills down one's spine.
The hissing sound was like spiritual energy struggling in agony, emitting a desperate wail.

Thanks to Ling Xiao's tireless efforts, the golem finally changed.

It sank slowly into Ling Xiao's body at a speed visible to the naked eye, like a giant star gradually merging into the vast universe.

As the golem merged with him, Ling Xiao's own aura also rose steadily.

The aura was like a surging tide, wave after wave, constantly spreading outwards.

At the same time, a strange sound emanated from Ling Xiao's body.

At first, the sound was faint and low, like muffled thunder coming from afar.

But as the golem became more integrated, the sound grew clearer and more intense.

In the end, it sounded like a demon god from the deepest hell letting out a muffled roar.

The roar shook the surrounding air, as if announcing the birth of a powerful and terrifying force to the world.

Ling Xiao kept his eyes tightly closed, enduring this tremendous change. He knew that he was standing at a crucial turning point, and once he succeeded, he would step into a completely new realm.

Time flowed on like a gentle, never-ending stream, each passing second carrying an invisible pressure that made the atmosphere inside the void warship increasingly heavy.

Ling Xiao sat cross-legged in the warship, his internal energy surging wildly like a tidal wave.

His face flushed red, veins bulged on his forehead, and large beads of sweat rolled down his face, soaking the deck of the warship beneath him.

At this moment, he is concentrating all his mind and strength on a final assault.

This is the most crucial step in fusing with the golem; success will greatly increase one's strength and allow one to enter a completely new realm.
Failure could result in severe damage, or even endanger one's life.

Suddenly, Ling Xiao roared, and the roar echoed through the warship like thunder, causing the surrounding air to tremble violently.

He used his last bit of strength to completely devour the final golem.

In an instant, everything around seemed to fall still, all sounds ceased, as if an invisible hand had sucked away all the sounds in the sky, leaving only that chilling silence.

Immediately afterwards...

"boom!!!"

A deafening roar shattered the terrifying silence, and an indescribable, terrifying dark power, like a slumbering ancient beast, suddenly awakened and erupted from Ling Xiao's body!

This power was so strong that it seemed capable of tearing the heavens and earth apart and destroying everything.

A visible blackish-purple shockwave suddenly spread out in a ring, like a surging black wave, sweeping outwards with a destructive force.

The void around the ship was instantly torn apart by this powerful force, creating countless fine black cracks. These cracks spread rapidly like a spider web, as if the entire void was about to be ripped apart by this force.

Several small, floating mountains in the distance were silently reduced to dust by the shockwave, as if wiped away by an invisible hand, disappearing without a trace.

The protective shield of the void warship flickered violently, groaning under the strain.

The protective shield twisted and deformed under the impact of the dark power, as if it would break at any moment.

Everyone inside the warship could feel the oppressive force emanating from that powerful energy; many turned pale and their bodies trembled involuntarily.

Just then, Ling Bi, who had been standing like a statue at the bow of the ship, showed a hint of solemnity on her originally calm face.

She suddenly spoke, her voice clear yet carrying an undeniable firmness that pierced through the lingering echo of thunder: "Brother, we're in trouble."

Ling Xiao had just devoured the demonic golem, and his blood and qi were churning within him, while the surging dark power around him was also somewhat out of control.

He took a deep breath, trying to suppress the churning blood and qi within his body, and circulated his internal energy to conceal the surging dark power around him.

Then, he stood up and strode over to Ling Bi's side, following her gaze to look at the boundless, deep sky outside the bridge.

In the far distance, amidst distorted light and shadow, a troop of people moved through the air in perfect unison, exuding a chilling aura. (End of Chapter)
