Chapter 2562: Chapter 2565: Birth of the Emperor Artifact, Martial Arts Advancement

Ling Xiao floated in mid-air.

Facing countless civilians of Eight Immortals County City and the martial artists of the three major forces, he issued his most powerful declaration.

The most domineering proclamation——

"Those who follow me shall prosper, those who oppose me shall perish!

As for that so-called prince, wherever it’s cool, go there. Does he really think he owns the Secret Realm Academy?

The Chen Royal Clan has fourteen princes, and this guy is the most useless one, yet he dares to show off in Eight Immortals County City.

He’s simply seeking death!"

Having said that, he gently waved his hand, and the Little Demoness suddenly leaped forward, raising both hands, black light shining toward the Thirteenth Prince.

The Thirteenth Prince was inexplicably terrified, wanting to dodge, yet completely unable to escape, as one of his arms was directly melted off.

"Listen, you worthless prince, this arm is the price for your nonsense!

Today I spare your life, but in five days, you’d better not talk nonsense again."

After speaking, Ling Xiao actually turned and left.

He destroyed the Eight Immortals Palace, severed the Thirteenth Prince’s arm.

Then he left with harsh words, demanding the three major forces to give up three places at the Secret Realm Academy in five days, and floated away.

This cannot merely be described as domineering; it’s simply defiance of Morgan Lawless Heaven, an unparalleled arrogance!

Yet no one dared to laugh at him.

Nobody even considered it impossible.

They witnessed with their own eyes how the seven or eight-year-old girl behind Ling Xiao removed the Thirteenth Prince’s arm.

This was not an illusion.

They also saw Ling Xiao destroy the entire Eight Immortals Palace with one punch.

Without formidable strength, this would be absolutely impossible.

This news is sure to spread quickly throughout Eight Immortals County City, even to nearby towns, the provincial city, and the Imperial Capital!

Thus, from now until the fifth day, the confrontation between Ling Xiao and the three major forces has become a decisive battle.

If Ling Xiao wins, the Thirteenth Prince will have no way out.

If the three major forces win, Ling Xiao will undoubtedly die.

What an exhilarating battle this is!

Even those not involved feel thrilled in their hearts.

Looking forward to this confrontation.

The people of the three major forces, however, are filled with worry and rage.

"Eliminate this villain, defend the royal power! Guard orthodoxy! Protect the dignity of the three major forces!"

The martial artists of the three major forces suddenly exploded with anger soaring into the sky.

They roared wildly.

Ling Xiao dared to humiliate them like this, truly pushing them to the limit.

"I grant you authority, use every means to execute Ling Xiao!"

The Thirteenth Prince, enduring pain and humiliation, issued his most furious command.

He came to Eight Immortals County City to showcase royal authority, to weigh might and kindness evenly.

But now, his dignity has been completely shattered by Ling Xiao.

He has become a joke!

Returning to the Imperial Capital like this, he would surely be laughed at by his brothers and sisters until death.

He cannot tolerate this, anything can be tolerated, but this is absolutely unacceptable.

"The Royal Clan is not something you can provoke! Ling Xiao, the frog at the bottom of the well, you’ll pay the most severe price in the world for this!"

The Thirteenth Prince gritted his teeth, madness flashing in his eyes.

"An Hun, return to the Imperial Capital, I have no other demands; I just want Ling Xiao dead! You can find anyone, as long as you kill Ling Xiao, I’ll let you become the Lord of Eight Immortals County City!"

He gazed at a certain place behind him and spoke in the coldest voice.

"At your command!"

An Hun turned and left.

He also wanted Ling Xiao dead, but he feared not having the certainty to act alone, so he waited for the Thirteenth Prince’s order.

Under the Thirteenth Prince, some Jianghu heroes have been sheltered, and any one of them coming to Eight Immortals County City is an existence akin to a regional giant.

With these people helping, how could Ling Xiao survive?

Ling Xiao didn’t care about external matters.

After his outburst at the Eight Immortals Palace, he returned to the secret chamber of Tianlong Trade Company to continue cultivating.

His cultivation level no longer needed to improve.

Improving too fast might cause unstable foundations.

What he needs now is stabilization.

In terms of martial skills, he urgently needs to continue refining the Soul Thunder Light Shield, Celestial Thunder Divine Guard, and Dark Shadow Martial Arts.

He has already cultivated the regular Jade Level top-grade move "Breaking Yin and Yang" to the Transcendental Realm.

Next, he began training in the excellent Jade Level top-grade move "Ghost Exterminating King."

What surprised Ling Xiao was that when the Black Demon Sword and Dark Immortal Sword both recognized him as their master and became his weapons.

Not only did the grade of both weapons increase by one step, reaching the level of Mortal Emperor Tool.

Above Treasure is Spiritual Tool, above Spiritual Tool is Emperor Artifact!

Mortal Emperor Tool is significantly higher than Divine Spiritual Tool.

Moreover, with the upgrade of the two weapons, Ling Xiao discovered that Dark Shadow Martial Arts had additional moves, these moves reached the level of Immortal Rank First Heaven, with the strongest one reaching Immortal Rank Second Layer Heaven.

This made him overjoyed.

For the purpose of honing martial skills, the Little Demoness became Ling Xiao’s best opponent.

Ling Xiao was tough on himself, several times the Little Demoness injured him severely.

Thankfully, Ling Xiao spent a day to first refine a hundred Blood Spirit Pills from Blood Spirit Fruit.

Otherwise, it would have been troublesome indeed.

It was precisely this reckless training.

Upon the arrival of the last day, his body movement technique Wolf Travel Thousand Miles Nine Forms was fully mastered.

Wolf Travel Thousand Miles was supposedly a top-level Jade Level high-grade martial technique.

Yet the last two forms belonged to top-level Jade Level top-grade moves, explaining why these two forms were harder to train than others.

As for Dark Shadow Martial Arts, Ling Xiao had mastered all moves below Jade Level top-grade.

Moreover, low-quality, ordinary, good, and outstanding four moves were cultivated to the Transcendental Realm.

But only the supreme move was still at Great Perfection, unable to advance further.

Nonetheless, Ling Xiao believed, with his current grasp of these moves, not to mention running rampant in Eight Immortals County City, even going to the Imperial Capital, he wouldn’t be at the bottom of the ranks.

The practice of martial skills also subtly advanced Ling Xiao’s cultivation level.

Reaching the Intermediate Stage of First Transformation Yin-Yang Realm Seventh Layer Hell.

Perhaps this is what they mean by intentional efforts yield no results while unintended ones flourish.

As for Soul Thunder Light Shield and Celestial Thunder Divine Guard, still stuck at the entry-level without any progress.

It seems the cultivation level is still too low.

The grade of martial skills is too high, temporarily impossible to master.

Ling Xiao wasn’t anxious either, for now, he didn’t need these two moves to deal with enemies.

After coming out from the secret chamber, Ling Xiao tidied up a bit, then met with Lin Fengyuan, along with Lin Ruoxian, Yue Shang, Lin Yang, and others who came to see him, and had a meal.

Lin Ruoxian and Yue Shang also broke through, now martial artists at the Yin-Yang Realm Seventh Layer Hell.

After all, they both received strong legacies in the Bull God Labyrinth, speeding up their breakthroughs during this time is quite normal.

In the future, they might not be able to keep up with Ling Xiao, the madman, but at this current stage, this level of cultivation is greatly helpful to Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao doesn’t want them involved, but they are unwilling.
