Soul Emperor Martial God

"Asura Power?" Xiao Yi's eyebrows furrowed first.

Then he introspected within his body and was surprised to find that the pattern of the mystical design had changed.

It looked exactly like a tiny droplet.

Filled with the color of blood.

That was the Asura Power condensed into a blood droplet.

At this moment, two more pieces of information entered his mind.

"Asura Transformation, Boundary Shattering Fist," Xiao Yi muttered to himself, his face erupting with ecstasy.

The Asura Transformation was a cultivation technique.

Its effect was somewhat similar to Rising Dragon.

However, the Asura Transformation amplified physical strength; whereas Rising Dragon amplified cultivation.

The Xingyi Five Extremes were an inner boxing skill. Inner strength traveled through the meridians in a special roaming method.

Stimulating the Eight Extraordinary Meridians to achieve an amplifying effect.

Being an inner boxing skill, what Rising Dragon amplified was naturally True Qi.

But, as his own cultivation continued to break through and increase, the effect of Rising Dragon was now very small.

Rising Dragon was the only technique among Xiao Yi's Xingyi Five Extremes that had not been greatly achieved.

The other Four Extremes, Tiger Form, Leopard Form, Snake Formation, Spiritual Crane—

All had physical representations.

Observe their forms and comprehend their True Intent.

To comprehend the True Intent of Xingyi Fist was incredibly rare and profoundly mystical.

Being able to comprehend True Intent proved that Xiao Yi himself was a martial arts genius.

But Rising Dragon spoke of dragons, which were legendary creatures that no one had ever seen, not even Xiao Yi.

In his past life, he could only force himself to comprehend its True Intent through imagination and ancient paintings.

The more powerful a thing is, the harder it is to fully comprehend.

Not to mention relying only on imagination.

It's imaginable how high his comprehension ability was.

But because he had never truly seen a dragon, his Rising Dragon Technique had never been greatly achieved.

No, it could even be said that it did not even reach a minor accomplishment.

Previously in the Mortal Realm, Postnatal Realm, and Innate Realm, it could still amplify two levels of cultivation.

Now, upon reaching the Mysterious Profundity Realm, it could at most amplify less than one layer.

To bring out the true power of Rising Dragon, one had to achieve great mastery.

Xiao Yi had no confidence in doing so.

This was also the reason why he had hardly used Rising Dragon since leaving the Sword Sect to train.

To return to the main point.

The Asura Transformation was a cultivation technique.

While Boundary Shattering Fist was a martial technique.

The information in his mind did not make clear their levels.

Because they were martial arts techniques derived from the Asura Battle Body.

But obviously, they were both extraordinary, and their level was definitely not low.

Xiao Yi had previously witnessed the power of the Wood Dragon Descent.

According to his guess, they were definitely higher level than that of Wood Dragon Descent.

In other words, they were at least high-level Earth Rank cultivation techniques and martial arts techniques.

To break through to the Third Layer of the Asura Battle Body required such a vast amount of Demon Beast Essence Blood.

To a large extent, it was to activate the blood droplet and these two martial arts techniques.

These were the gifts of the Third Layer.

And they were the reason for the leap in strength.

Obviously, whether it was Asura Transformation or Boundary Shattering Fist, both were extremely difficult.

However, for Xiao Yi, no matter how difficult the martial arts or cultivation techniques were, none could trouble him.

His comprehension ability was terrifying.

In the cave, he contemplated the information in his mind, and he trained hard.

After ten days, he finally broke out of his cave.

With all his might, he punched out, and there was a loud boom.

The entire ground started to tremble.

"How strong, after using the Asura Transformation, my physical strength has actually soared to the peak of Third Layer of Mystic Breakthrough."

Xiao Yi was secretly astonished.

At the same time, he introspected within his body again.

At the position of his heart, that blood droplet had shrunk by a tiny bit.

Asura Power was a unique force of the Asura Battle Body.

It was equivalent to True Qi, yet much more powerful.

To put it more simply,

Just like executing martial techniques requires the use of True Qi.

Executing Asura Transformation requires the use of Asura Power.

Furthermore, Asura Power was the only force that could support the operation of Asura Transformation.

When Asura Transformation was executed, Asura Power would automatically convert into strength and then flow throughout the body.

Asura Power was extremely strong by itself, and with the mystical operation of Asura Transformation, it became a powerful technique that amplified physical strength. ThischapterwasoriginallypostedonM^VLEMPYR.

According to Xiao Yi's estimation, this tiny drop of Asura Power.

Could support him in operating the Asura Transformation for a whole day.

Just a tiny droplet, yet it contained an immense amount of energy.

...

Using the Boundary Shattering Fist also required the consumption of Asura Power.

However, Xiao Yi did not yet know how much was needed.

He planned to experiment right now.

"Boundary Shattering Fist," Xiao Yi roared.

The bloody droplet at his heart immediately went berserk.

A surge of crimson energy suddenly condensed in his fist.

"How terrifying this power is," Xiao Yi was instantly alarmed and then a sense of foreboding flooded his mind.

With a booming sound,

the heavens and earth seemed to produce a thunderous roar.

At the same time, his head turned blank.

Pain as if his heart was being twisted assaulted him from his fist, from within his body.

The bloody droplet could be seen diminishing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Stop—puh…" Xiao Yi forcefully spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

Puh… Puh… Puh…

After spitting out several mouthfuls of blood, he finally stabilized the internal injuries.

His fist had twisted and deformed.

"Damn it, to utilize the Boundary Shattering Fist is to instantly mobilize all Asura Power."

"This is beyond the limit my body can endure."

Xiao Yi gritted his teeth in frustration.

But the next second, when he saw the scene before him, he was utterly shocked.

In front of him, the river that had been flowing ceaselessly now stopped abruptly.

The section of water in the middle had vanished into thin air.

On the opposite side of the river, there used to be a small patch of forest.

Now, it was eerily empty, not even a leaf or a branch was left.

Beyond that, there used to be a tall mountain.

Now, it was leveled, leaving only a pile of dust.

"So… so powerful…" Xiao Yi was in shock.

He could not estimate the strength of this punch.

Utilizing the Asura Transformation, a drop of Asura Power could last a day.

But to use the Boundary Shattering Fist, it would completely deplete a drop of Asura Power in an instant.

And this was something Xiao Yi's body could not bear at present.

Therefore, he had not truly released the Boundary Shattering Fist.

He had only just begun to execute the move and, feeling that his body couldn't withstand it, he immediately retracted his fist.

A drop of Asura Power had been consumed by only about one third.

But just this was enough to produce a power that was frighteningly strong.

The devastation before him completely exceeded his imagination.

If he had truly fully released the Boundary Shattering Fist and a drop of Asura Power had been exhausted,

the power would have been unimaginable.

Perhaps it would have surpassed the Mystic Breakthrough Realm.

Of course, he only dared to think about it.

Without a surprise, if he had truly fully executed the move, he would probably die from his body collapsing before the enemy did.

"Gulp." Xiao Yi couldn't help but swallow.

He now understood clearly.

No wonder the Asura Transformation and Boundary Shattering Fist were only unlocked at the Third Layer.

To use Asura Power, one's body must be able to endure it.

Simply utilizing the Asura Transformation already required a physical strength no less than the Mystic Breakthrough First Layer.

To attempt the Boundary Shattering Fist, having a physical strength at the Mystic Breakthrough First Layer was just the beginning and far from enough.

"Asura Transformation, Boundary Shattering Fist," Xiao Yi murmured to himself.

Whether deploying the Asura Transformation or the Boundary Shattering Fist, both required the expenditure of Asura Power.

This small droplet of Asura Power, if exhausted, would slowly recover at a slow pace within the body.

However, this would take a long time, at least ten to fifteen days.

Alternatively, one could recover quickly by absorbing Demon Beast Essence Blood.

But that would require a large amount of Essence Blood.

Xiao Yi sat down cross-legged, stabilizing the injuries from the backlash he had just suffered.

After a while, he stood up indifferently.

"My cultivation has reached the Mysterious Profundity Fifth Layer."

"My physical strength has reached the first tier of the Mystic Breakthrough."

"It's time to leave."

Xiao Yi spoke to himself, his figure flickered, and with a burst of Purple Flame Fire Wings, he flew off in an instant.

This month and a half of training had greatly increased his strength.

But, he thought, that tiny droplet of Asura Power was his greatest gain.
