Batian Martial Soul

Chapter 14726 Breakthrough
Ling Xiao remained cautious, proceeding step by step to gradually devour and erode the enemy, never making any rash or impulsive moves, lest he be careless and capsize in a ditch, falling into an unpredictable trap.

A moment later, Ling Xiao flashed back to Jian Sha's side to rest.

He looked up at the black rain whose aura had weakened considerably and asked, "Senior Sword Fiend, once we defeat this black rain, can we officially enter the third level of the Silent Realm?"

Jian Sha glanced at him indifferently, his tone calm: "What are you thinking?"

Ling Xiao was slightly taken aback: "Isn't that right?"

"This rain is just the first hurdle," Jian Sha said indifferently. "After defeating it, there are second, third, and so on... each layer more dangerous than the last."

Ling Xiao: "..."

Sword Demon slightly raised his gaze, looking at the Heavenly Gate barrier that stretched across the sky: "Your path is still very long, understand?"

Ling Xiao took a deep breath and slowly nodded: "Understood!"

Sword Fiend looked again at the churning black rain, a barely perceptible smile curving his lips: "Continue with your method. Well done. I never expected you could wear down this annihilating black rain until it had no temper left..."

Ling Xiao smiled and said no more. After a brief rest, he soared into the sky again, continuing his path of devouring.

He knew in his heart that as long as he completely devoured and refined this black rain, his cultivation level would definitely soar and directly reach the peak of the Realm Lord Realm!
By then, he would be considered a true top figure in the Silent Realm, not only in terms of the strength to fight beyond his level, but also in terms of pure cultivation realm, which would not be much inferior to those old giants of the Breaking Realm Mountain.

This frenzied process of absorption and tempering lasted for nearly a month.

Finally, the last bit of power from that black rain was completely absorbed into Ling Xiao's body, becoming nourishment for his own growth.

A vast and powerful aura, far surpassing anything before, erupted from Ling Xiao's body...

He has officially stepped into the peak of the Realm Lord realm!
The pain and torment he endured during that month were beyond the imagination of ordinary people, and no one could bear it for him. He had to grit his teeth and bear all the excruciating pain and life-or-death trials alone.

On the other hand, the rewards were also far greater than imagined.

Upon witnessing this scene, all the hidden and observing Divine Envoys of Annihilation in the third layer of the Annihilation Realm focused their gazes on Ling Xiao, their expressions becoming extremely solemn.

They all knew perfectly well that Ling Xiao had already passed the first test!
He has already qualified to enter the third level of the Realm of Annihilation!
That was the closest point to the outer passage, which meant that from now on, Ling Xiao would face the most direct and bloody suppression and annihilation from the Silent Court.

They no longer dared to underestimate this young man who had fought his way up from the bottom.

We absolutely cannot let this kid leave the Realm of Annihilation alive!
With such talent and temperament, once he breaks free from the shackles of the Realm of Annihilation and gains access to the endless resources and cultivation environment outside the realm, he will surely grow into a heaven-defying being capable of overturning their established order.

They can't afford the consequences!

However, although Ling Xiao has now passed the first hurdle, the following hurdles will only become more dangerous and deadly than the last!
At this moment, Jian Sha flashed and appeared in front of Ling Xiao, carefully examining him from head to toe, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes: "Your physical body..."

Ling Xiao subconsciously looked down at his own body, and the next moment, he was also suddenly stunned.

Originally, his physical body contained only pure and abundant demonic energy and dragon soul energy.

But at this moment, in addition to demonic energy and dragon energy, countless strands of black rain power, condensed to the point of being tangible, appeared in his body!
The three are no longer clearly distinct, but perfectly blended together, inseparable, and completely integrated into one!
Now, he not only possesses the body of a demon god and the body of a dragon soul, but also has forged an unprecedented body of black rain upon these two!
The strength of his physical body has increased by a whole level compared to before!

Let alone ordinary experts, even a true high-ranking master would find it extremely difficult to shatter his physical body with a single punch!
A great find!

An incredibly huge gain!
Ling Xiao took a deep breath, suppressing the turbulent emotions within him. All the torment and pain he had endured during this time had not been in vain!
Sword Fiend reminded, "Immediately stabilize your realm and continue to refine the remaining power of the Black Rain."

Ling Xiao looked at her.

Sword Demon said in a deep voice, "Your cultivation level has risen too quickly recently. The power of the Black Rain is violent and domineering. If you cannot completely refine and integrate it into yourself, it will definitely become a hidden danger on your cultivation path in the future. Take advantage of the fact that no one is disturbing you now and settle down for a while."

Ling Xiao nodded: "Okay!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he took out a massive amount of top-grade spirit crystals and used the energy of the spirit crystals as a supplement to refine the remaining black rain power in his body and stabilize his newly broken-through peak Realm Lord cultivation.

Even without Jian Sha's reminder, he was already aware of the situation. Rapid advancement in one's cultivation level without consolidation is like building a castle in the air—seemingly magnificent, but actually shaky and prone to collapse at the slightest touch.

Jian Sha stood quietly to the side, observing without making a sound to disturb them.

Not far away, Ling Bi was also meditating with her eyes closed. Although Ling Xiao was the main force that withstood the baptism of the black rain this time, she had the advantage of being close to the source and had also been exposed to a lot of the scattered aura. Her cultivation had also improved, and she was now seizing the time to consolidate her realm.

Another month has quietly passed.

Ling Xiao slowly opened his eyes, a sharp glint flashing in them. The terrifying aura surging within him subsided completely at this moment, returning to calm, yet appearing even more unfathomable.

Sword Fiend spoke at the opportune moment, his tone carrying a hint of approval: "Congratulations, your realm is now as solid as a mountain!"

Ling Xiao nodded slightly, then turned his gaze to Qi Tian, ​​who had arrived at the side at some point, and asked indifferently, "Qi Tian, ​​is something the matter?"

Qi Tian nodded, his expression solemn, and his gaze towards Ling Xiao carried an undisguised awe: "Young friend, your true strength now is probably... infinitely close to that of a high-level master."

Upper Lord!
Ling Xiao's heart stirred slightly, and he pondered, "What realm are Wen Yan and the others? Are they also Upper Lords?"

Qi Tian shook his head: "It can only be said that he is infinitely close to the Supreme Lord, but he is always one step short and has never truly stepped into that realm."

Ling Xiao asked again, "Within this Realm of Annihilation, are there any true high-level sovereigns?"

Qi Tian's expression was solemn as he slowly spoke: "Yes! But they are few and far between, extremely rare. Moreover, they have been silent for countless years and have never appeared in the world. Even I have no way of knowing whether they are still alive today."

Upper Lord!
Ling Xiao fell silent.

Even though he had already reached the peak of the Realm Lord realm, and even though he was almost unmatched in this Realm of Annihilation, he knew very well that he still had a long way to go!
