Chapter 1797: Chapter 1797: Asura Battle Body, Supreme 9999 Dao

The old man’s face was as dark as water.

At the same time, it carried a trace of fear and regret.

"Sorry," Xiao Yi said earnestly.

Clearly, his question just now touched the deepest pain of this senior.

The old man shook his head, said nothing, and merely sighed.

The sigh was full of melancholy and helplessness from endless years.

Xiao Yi turned around, his face already enlightened.

Within this Cave Mansion left by the Ancient Emperor, the tests and restrictions had long been set.

The first restriction was that only young Heavenly Talents and Monsters could participate.

And each time it appeared, there were no more than 18 slots, and only 18 people could receive the Prohibition mark on their arms.

This mark was branded before entering the Cave Mansion.

Xiao Yi still remembered that before entering the Ancient Emperor’s Mansion, the 15 leaders among them had the prohibition branded on their arms and then truly entered the Cave Mansion through the prohibition.

While to outsiders, the Mansion didn’t exist at all.

From the perspective of those elders and strong individuals in the outside forces, there was no Ancient Emperor’s Mansion, only the perception of the prohibition’s existence.

Or simply put, the prohibition on the arms of the 15 leaders was the starting point of all the tests.

The prohibition on the arm had already determined the subsequent prohibition tests for the participants.

And this prohibition accompanied the participants until all the tests ended.

Just like Xiao Yi at present, reaching the end of the Cave Mansion, only to trigger the final test through the prohibition on his arm.

Another point.

Xiao Yi also realized why the people from the Five Great Academies could break the main array so quickly.

Senior Luoo had entered the Ancient Emperor’s Mansion long ago.

But he wasn’t a young Heavenly Talent, so he couldn’t gain the Mansion’s prohibition recognition.

Therefore, he couldn’t participate in the tests here, nor break the array.

He only knew about the tests within the main array.

And with his strength, the methods to break these tests of prohibition were naturally not difficult for him.

As long as the Five Great Academies’ Chief was informed in advance of the breaking method, breaking the main array’s prohibition was indeed not hard for the academy.

The only difficulty was whether the Breaker had enough strength to endure the siege of demon beasts and puppets and safely break the prohibition.

This point was evidently very difficult.

Those demon beasts and puppets, later on, possess power above Supreme 9999 Dao strength.

Which young Heavenly Talent could withstand that?

Naturally, that’s why Senior Luoo attempted to have the Chief of the Five Great Academies assist Mo Youu and jointly break the array.

Xiao Yi turned his eyes back to the gigantic prohibition on the bed.

Senior Luoo and others did not come through the normal route here, didn’t receive recognition from the Cave Mansion prohibition, so couldn’t trigger this final test.

Naturally, he needed to nurture Mo Youu, and even offer great promises to the Chief of the Five Great Academies, to make the most outstanding Heavenly Talents and Monsters of this generation come and participate together.

Yet, what exactly is the true opportunity within the Ancient Emperor’s Mansion?

Why does Senior Luoo value it so much?

Xiao Yi looked again at the old man.

The old man gradually returned to his usual demeanor.

"Senior," Xiao Yi asked puzzledly, "What is the true opportunity of the Mansion?"

"The true opportunity?" The old man smiled and asked in return, "What do you think?"

"Inheritance?" Xiao Yi asked.

"I told you, it’s not," the old man shook his head.

"The true opportunity is something that can allow someone of my level to directly break through."

"Allow your level to directly break through?" Xiao Yi frowned slightly.

"Boy, your tone is quite light," the old man shook his head and chuckled.

"Do you know how many years I was stuck at this level before I died?"

"It was calculated in tens of thousands of years, with hardly any progress."

"Can you imagine what a world-shaking treasure the Mansion’s true opportunity is?"

The old man said as he gritted his teeth again, "Back when I could no longer bear martial stagnation and the endless agony of no improvement."

"That’s when I came here, planning to use my extraordinary skills to forcefully break this prohibition."

"My arrogance led me to complete ruin in this life."

"The punishment of the Ancient Emperor’s Mansion prohibition trapped me here alive, endless ages, just a miserable and lonely Spiritual Sense."

"Enough, don’t ask more," the old man’s tone deepened, "Start your test."

Xiao Yi nodded, flashed his body, and leapt into the air above the gigantic bed.

Reaching out to take the third reward.

That’s certainly a reward earned through much hardship, naturally worth taking first.

Indeed, just as he reached out, a mighty force of prohibition came to obstruct him.

However, the prohibition on Xiao Yi’s arm instantly shone brightly, nullifying the obstruction.

Xiao Yi easily took the reward.

"Hmm? Is it Demon Beast Essence Blood?" Xiao Yi was startled.

In his hand, it seemed to be a ray of light.

In reality, within the light, countless drops of Demon Beast Essence Blood were contained.

"Hiss," Xiao Yi sensed the intensity of the Demon Beast Essence Blood inside and was startled again.

Inside, each drop of Demon Beast Essence Blood was of Supreme Level.

And their quantity, afraid to be over hundreds of thousands of drops.

"These Demon Beast Essence Blood..." Xiao Yi frowned, "Are they from those demon beasts before?"

Below, the old man nodded and said, "When you were breaking the main array, why do you think those countless demon beasts survived so long?"

"Their Demon Beast Essence Blood had long been taken by the Ancient Emperor and stored as the third reward here."

"Those demon beasts could only move freely under the power of the Cave Mansion prohibition, still extremely aggressive."

Xiao Yi appeared enlightened, then was full of joyous expression.

In terms of value, perhaps this third reward indeed was the worst, the most useless.

After all, no amount of Supreme Level Demon Beast Essence Blood could compare to an Ancient Treasure like the Dawn Bell.

However, in Xiao Yi’s hands, it’s a different story.

For Xiao Yi, Demon Beast Essence Blood was instead the most precious thing, the hardest to gather.

Xiao Yi hurriedly sat cross-legged in mid-air and began consuming and absorbing.

And the prohibition test on the gigantic bed, he temporarily ignored.

Though he didn’t know what the test was.

But in any case, improving his strength first was clearly the correct choice.

Each drop of Demon Beast Essence Blood was quickly absorbed by him.

The Demon Beast Essence Blood entered his body and was swiftly transformed into Asura Power by the operation of the Asura Battle Body.

Xiao Yi’s physical strength rose rapidly at an astonishing pace.

Once he absorbed up to ten thousand drops.

Xiao Yi’s eyes lit up, "The Asura Battle Body reached Martial Arts Great Power level."

His physical strength was at Emperor Realm Peak level.

Now, merely reaching Martial Arts Great Power level had already required ten thousand drops of Supreme Level Demon Beast Essence Blood.

It is imaginable how enormous the demand for Demon Beast Essence Blood by the Asura Battle Body is.

Also imaginable is how many ordinary Emperor Realm level Demon Beast Essence Blood would be needed.

A dozen minutes later.

When the absorbed Demon Beast Essence Blood reached fifty thousand drops.

Xiao Yi’s eyes lit up again, "The Asura Battle Body reached Supreme level."

An hour later.

The remaining Demon Beast Essence Blood within the light was one-third.

Crack, crack, crack...

Xiao Yi clenched his powerful fist, the astonishing physical strength even made him a bit shocked. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

"Physical strength reached Supreme 9999 Dao."

"Now, with just my physical strength, I can crush the Fire Control power."
