Chapter 410: Killing the Shadow Master! (2)
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The Shadow Master of the Swift Shadow Palace died just like that!
Xiao Shi calmly caught the item that dropped after the Shadow Master died. Once the Shadow Master died, he would no longer pose a threat to the Tree Shadow Sect. This was also thanks to the fact that the Shadow Master had been severely injured by that foreign expert.
If he was in his peak state, with his cultivation at the spiritual sense stage, even Xiao Shi and the Ancient Cang’e Tree would definitely not be his match.
“The Martial Soul Realm at the Soul Awakening Stage is basically no threat to me, but if I face a Martial Soul Realm at the Spiritual Sense Stage, I’m definitely not a match under normal circumstances.” Xiao Shi thought to himself.
Through the battle with the Shadow Master, he had already sensed the incomparably huge difference between the spiritual sense stage and the soul awakening stage. With his current strength, he would definitely not be able to defeat a Martial Soul Realm expert at the spiritual sense stage.
Xiao Shi pondered that even if he could not defeat a Martial Soul Realm expert at the Spiritual Sense Stage, he would not be instantly killed like other Martial Soul Realm experts at the Soul Awakening Stage.
After he comprehended the profundity of the Kui Tiger Vajra Bloodline and stepped into the Martial Soul Realm, his Vajra Form under the three forms improved.
Now, his Vajra Form did not only have a powerful physical defense, it also had soul power protection. It was also a type of incomparably powerful soul power defense.
Under the protection of the Vajra Form, soul power attacks in the Soul Awakening Stage were basically unable to hit him. Even the Shadow Master’s spiritual sense attack this time only caused cracks to appear on the surface of his body and did not really injure him.
For other Martial Soul Realm cultivators at the Soul Awakening Stage, even if they were Body Tempering cultivators, once they were attacked by spiritual sense, they would definitely be severely injured even if they did not die.
Only a special Body Tempering cultivator like Xiao Shi could withstand the spiritual sense attack.
“Unfortunately, my other two forms haven’t changed yet.” Although he had already comprehended the profundity of the Kui Tiger Vajra Bloodline, the entire profundity was not perfected.
He still needed to continuously deepen his bloodline profundity through battle. Right now, it was equivalent to him only possessing the first level of profundity. Therefore, only one of the three forms under the Kui Tiger Vajra Bloodline had improved. He could only wait until he comprehended the second level of profundity. Only then would his second form improve.
This corresponded to the three stages of the Martial Soul Realm: Soul Awakening, Spiritual Sense, and Life Spirit.
“I wonder if my Red Tiger Form or Dongkui Form will improve when I comprehend the second level of Profound Meaning?”
Xiao Shi was looking forward to this. After all, among the three forms, the Red Tiger Form and the Dongkui Form would only begin to show their strength when they reached the intermediate three realms, closer to the late-stage.
For example, when the Vajra Form was in the Blood Martial realm, it was the strongest form among the three forms. It was considered stronger in the early stages, but the improvements in the later stages would be smaller and smaller.
After breaking through to the Martial Soul Realm this time, although the increase in soul power protection of the Vajra Form was very useful, relatively speaking, this increase was still a little lacking.
Xiao Shi believed that be it the Red Tiger Form or the Dongkui Form, the increase in the Martial Soul Realm would definitely be greater than the increase in the Vajra Form. However, this required him to comprehend the second and third bloodline profundities.
Now that he had successfully dealt with the Shadow Master, Xiao Shi was also filled with anticipation for the items it dropped. After all, he did not have many Martial Soul-grade items on hand.
Xiao Shi looked down at the item in his hand. Relevant item information immediately appeared in his vision.
[Name: Nether Eye (Heaven Rank)]
[Similar: Spiritual Sense Technique]
[Grade: Martial Soul Level]
[Introduction: This is a spiritual sense technique created by a Martial Soul Realm expert, who has outstanding talent, according to the race talent of the Nether Eye Clan.]
[Remark: This spiritual sense technique possesses the innate characteristics of the Nether Eye Clan. After cultivating it, not only can it greatly increase one’s spiritual sense, but it can also allow one’s spiritual sense to enter a difficult state to detect. Even people with stronger cultivation will find it difficult to detect it.]
“Heaven-rank spiritual sense technique!” Xiao Shi’s eyes lit up. Although he did not know much about the spiritual sense stage, he also knew that spiritual sense techniques were extremely rare in the entire Xingluo Territory.
This spiritual sense technique was no longer like ordinary cultivation techniques that could be seen everywhere. The spiritual sense technique was extremely rare to begin with. Not to mention a Heaven-rank spiritual sense technique, even the worst yellow-rank spiritual sense technique would often cause various experts to fight crazily for it once it appeared.
The value of such a Heaven-rank spiritual sense technique was even more terrifying.
“The power of this spiritual sense technique is mainly to make it difficult for the spiritual sense to detect it.” Xiao Shi’s heart skipped a beat.
Apart from being able to use his spiritual sense to attack, he could also investigate the target. This kind of investigation was usually extremely deep. Not only could it detect the physical condition of the target, but it could also detect the strength of the body.
He could also investigate the target’s soul power.
Usually, before the battle between two Martial Soul Realm experts at the spiritual sense stage, they would use their spiritual senses to investigate each other. As for this kind of spiritual sense that was difficult for ordinary people to detect, its value and meaning were incomparably huge.
Whether it was used to investigate or attack, it could have unexpected effects. This also made Xiao Shi even more anxious to break through to the spiritual sense stage as soon as possible.
But he also knew, even if his body broke through to the spiritual sense stage, he could not cultivate this spiritual sense technique. After all, spiritual sense would not be born when his body broke through.
He had to break through with the Red Tiger lineage of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect to give birth to spiritual senses.
“From my current killing situation of the Martial Soul Realm, the drop pattern of items in the Martial Soul Realm mainly depends on the target’s cultivation. For example, the item dropped by the expert in the Life Spirit Stage I killed previously is an item that can only be used at the Life Spirit Stage.
“The Shadow Master who was killed this time is at the spiritual sense stage. Therefore, what he dropped is an item that can only be used at the spiritual sense stage.”
Through these few kills, Xiao Shi successfully concluded the pattern of items dropping in the Martial Soul Realm.
Each stage in the Martial Soul Realm basically dropped items from their respective stages. Of course, it was also possible for items of a higher level to drop. However, the probability would be very low.
Boom!
Five different soul shadows exploded in the air. The five elders of the Swift Shadow Palace flew back at the same time.
“They’re even stronger than before!” The Second Elder said with a solemn expression.
Their battle this time was different from the last test. Last time, after they were divided, it was equivalent to fighting one-on-one in three places. This time, it was their team battle. Originally, they had one more person in terms of numbers. Moreover, the cooperation between the three elders could make up for their weakness.
It should have been a one-sided situation. However, Luo Jun and Tong Binhong’s combined strength was not weaker than the three of them. This made the three elders of the Swift Shadow Palace very shocked.
“…It’s not that they’re stronger than before, but that they didn’t use their full strength last time. They deliberately hid their strength!” The First Elder said in a low voice. She had a bad feeling.
Especially after the Shadow Master wrapped him and Xiao Shi in white hair, they clearly saw many tree vines and branches emerge from the white hair again, enveloping the ball formed by the white hair.
This was originally the Shadow Master shutting the door to beat the dog. But no matter how she looked at it now, she felt that something was wrong. Luo Jun and Tong Binhong looked like they had victory in their grasp from the beginning to the end. They did not panic at all. Moreover, they had hidden their strength.
But they believed with the Shadow Master’s strength, it was not difficult to suppress this mysterious Body Tempering expert. After all, the Shadow Master was at the spiritual sense stage. This mysterious Body Tempering expert was only comparable to the soul awakening stage.
As she was thinking, the ball formed by many vines suddenly disintegrated. These vines and branches all shrank back into the Ancient Cang’e Tree. From there, the figure in the ball was revealed.
When the three elders of the Swift Shadow Palace looked over expectantly, the scene in front of them made them freeze in midair as if they had been petrified. They had never expected this.
Inside the ball, there was only this mysterious Body Tempering cultivator covered in a black cloak left. They could no longer see the Shadow Master.
No!
When they looked carefully, they also saw a pile of bones falling from the sky!!
