His cultivation advanced to Initial Rank Eight.
His soul power rose sharply.
<Snow Lotus True Solution> and <Soul Burning Formula> were both cultivated to the perfection realm.
This gave Ling Xiao a good base to cultivate <Heavenly Dragon Golden Body>.
He had two Heavens Bone Changing Pills in his hands.
Even one Heavens Bone Changing Pill was full of medicinal power. Therefore, he planned to take them one at a time. After all, Heavens Bone Changing Pill required a cultivation base of Rank Eight or above to use, which was higher than the other two pills.
If he took both pills at the same time, he might not be able to endure it.
After swallowing one Heavens Bone Changing Pill, he knew his guess had been right.
At that instant, he felt like the bones within his body shattered. That kind of pain was not something ordinary people could bear.
For the next seven days and nights, he couldn’t move. It was constant torture.
But he endured with his firm will.
In addition, since his cultivation had already reached Rank Eight Martial Vein, coupled with his vigorous true essence, it was very unlikely for him to have a qi deviation or bleed from seven orifices.
The only inconvenience was pain!
The pain was almost unbearable.
No wonder this Heavens Bone Changing Pill required a cultivation base of Rank Eight Martial Vein or above. This kind of pain and impact were truly not something martial artists below Rank Seven could endure.
After seven days and seven nights, his pain finally eased.
At this time, Ling Xiao circulated <Snow Lotus True Solution> and <Heavenly Dragon Golden Body> to maximize the absorption power of the Landscape Martial Soul.
The medicinal power crazily poured into his body, and he could feel the shackles of <Heavenly Dragon Golden Body>’s second layer break. He could faintly feel that it was going to advance to the third layer.
The strength of his body also increased rapidly.
With the perfection realm <Snow Lotus True Solution> coordinating with the miraculous fusion speed of the Landscape Martial Soul, after about ten days, the efficacy of his Heavens Bone Changing Pill was finally completely absorbed.
Ha!
Ling Xiao couldn’t help shouting while discharging turbid qi from his body.
He opened his eyes and slowly stood up.
He could clearly feel the toughness degree of his entire body, bones, muscles, skin and flesh had improved substantially.
Especially the strength of his bones, they were not any inferior to excellent grade treasured artifacts.
This was just pure physical strength before using <Heavenly Dragon Golden Body>.
At the same time, due to repeated circulation of <Snow Lotus True Solution>, his cultivation had also made progress.
Although it was not as fast as when he took the Top Grade True Essence Pills, looking at his current situation, a breakthrough to Mid Rank Eight Martial Vein was just around the corner.
At this time, his cultivation had already reached the limit of Initial Rank Eight Martial Vein, close to a breakthrough. It was just a paper’s distance away from Mid Rank Eight Martial Vein.
And his <Heavenly Dragon Golden Body> had also finally broken through the limits of the second layer and reached the third layer under the efficacy of Heavens Bone Changing Pill.
In addition to the strengthening effect of the body, <Heavenly Dragon Golden Body>’s third layer had two special traits.
One was to produce Heavenly Dragon Tendons, and the other was to condense Heavenly Dragon Scales.
There was no specific order between these two traits. Ling Xiao comprehended Heavenly Dragon Scale first.
When he integrated true essence into <Heavenly Dragon Golden Body>, a layer of golden scales appeared on his body.
Merely, these scales were still transparent and indistinct for the time being.
However, even like that, the terrifying boost in defense provided was a lot stronger than <Nine Transformation Golden Body Art>’s ninth transformation.
Here onwards, his defense made another qualitative leap.
Heavenly Dragon Scale Armor!
This was not just bragging.
The most amazing thing was Heavenly Dragon Scale Armor could also be used to strengthen his attacks depending on where it was attached.
For instance, if Heavenly Dragon Scale Armor was wrapped around the hands, then the attack would be much stronger.
In addition, when the entire body was covered with Heavenly Dragon Scale Armor, it was equivalent to having a perfect absolute defense. Even when facing the siege of thousands of martial artists, as long as his defense was not broken, he wouldn’t receive any injuries.
At this level, numbers were basically meaningless in front of him. If the enemy wanted to destroy him with crowd tactics, it was tantamount to a dream.
Naturally, there was a reason Heavenly Dragon Scale Armor was condensed but not produced.
Ling Xiao’s current true essence was not enough to continuously maintain Heavenly Dragon Scale Armor.
Generally speaking, a Transcendent Martial Art like <Heavenly Dragon Golden Body>, even for a Peak Rank Eight Martial Vein Martial Artist, just being able to maintain Heavenly Dragon Scale Armor for 20 breaths was already very amazing.
Therefore, like many defensive treasured artifacts, Heavenly Dragon Scale Armor was basically a life-saving tool. Generally, it wouldn’t be used until a crisis.
Ling Xiao’s current true essence was very vigorous, much stronger than an ordinary Peak Rank Eight Martial Vein Martial Master’s true essence. It was nearly on the level of a Peak Rank Nine Martial Vein Martial Master’s true essence.
Therefore, he was able to maintain Heavenly Dragon Scale Armor for 100 breaths without any problems.
In addition, his Landscape Martial Soul could absorb true essence, so the more enemies he had, the better for him.
Ordinarily, he wouldn’t dare to condense Heavenly Dragon Scale Armor at all times. But when facing thousands upon thousands of enemies, even if he condensed it all the time, there would be no problem.
He would absorb back enough true essence to maintain Heavenly Dragon Scale Armor.
Even without using Heavenly Dragon Scale Armor, martial artists below Late Rank Eight Martial Vein wouldn’t be able to hurt him unless they used an artifact.
And once he used Heavenly Dragon Scale Armor, with his current cultivation base, even against a Peak Rank Eight Martial Vein Martial Master, he would remain invincible.
He could exhaust the other partyto death!
As for Initial Rank Nine Martial Vein Martial Masters, it was still very difficult to deal with them, but he could at least ensure that he wouldn’t die.
In the next half a month, Ling Xiao spared no effort to consolidate <Heavenly Dragon Golden Body>’s third layer. At the same time, he absorbed the remaining medicinal power.
Moreover, he also tried to master the use of Heavenly Dragon Scale Armor.
This, after all, was a kind of skill. He needed to research where and when to use Heavenly Dragon Scale Armor.
The defense would be the worst when covering the entire body. The defense was better when partially covering the l body. The defense would naturally be best when it was condensed to one point.
The crucial point, however, depended on who the enemy was.
Fortunately, he had a Martial Soul Clone, so he could test and practice repeatedly.
After half a month, he had thoroughly mastered the use of Heavenly Dragon Scale Armor, and <Heavenly Dragon Golden Body>’s third layer was also completely stabilized.
Merely, Heavenly Dragon Tendons had not been cultivated.
However, he was not in a hurry; he knew that he shouldn’t eat hot tofu impatiently.
The more impatient he was, the easier to suffer a qi deviation.
His current cultivation speed was already very amazing. There was no need to take risks. It wouldn’t be worth the loss.
In the past half a month, because he hadn’t swallowed the remaining Heavens Bone Changing Pill, he used <Shadow Cultivation Secret Technique> again.
The main body continued to consolidate <Heavenly Dragon Golden Body> as well as practice Heavenly Dragon Scale Armor.
Among the two clones, one concentrated on his martial soul’s improvement while preparing to develop new ultimate skills.
Because he had merged two martial souls to create a completely new martial soul before, he had to become acclimated with them.
The other one continued to practice <Divine Prison King Fist>.
The clones could also use the Landscape Martial Soul to analyze things, and they shared memories with the main body. So, the clones could similarly use Ling Xiao’s benefits from the previous war.
Therefore, using clones to cultivate martial skills was quite effective.
