Chapter 1506: Chapter 1158: Destructive Demon Energy Tempering! Aspiring to Returning to Truth Stage 5!

The farther one travels towards the Divine Martial Country, the colder the climate becomes.

Under the gloomy moonlight shrouded by dark clouds, the distant horizon is like a tidal wave of snow, surging swiftly from the plains.

The fierce gale following behind seems like invisible giant hands, rudely lifting thick snow from the plains, grinding it into snow powder and scattering it, covering this powerful vassal state that rose after Qin Tui.

However, when the Emperor of Divine Martial Country was severely injured during the peak war against the Fire Qilin, it was as if the country’s Qi Fortune had also undergone subtle changes. This led to its previous systems of controlling the Martial World, modeled after the Holy Dynasty, gradually being challenged by Martial World forces, and the authority of the Emperor facing severe challenges.

This situation, especially reversed completely after the rise of the World Association led by Xiong Ba. The Divine Martial Country’s court temporarily lost its grip on the Martial World, struggling to contain the development of the World Association, seemingly indirectly proving that the Emperor was gravely injured in that battle against the Fire Qilin, and even now has not fully recovered.

Originally, this situation might have continued with the expansion of the World Association, persisting until the Divine Martial Country’s Emperor recovered from his wounds, yet could no longer deal with the World Association led by Xiong Ba, forced to allow this Martial World giant that claims imperial authority and establishes underground rules to share power.

Such a scenario would inevitably be an act of helplessness.

But regardless of how weakened the Divine Martial Country’s Imperial Family becomes, constrained by the Holy Dynasty’s deterrence, Xiong Ba would not dare to provoke outrage by reaching for the country’s Divine Artifact, ultimately maintaining a peaceful coexistence where well water does not interfere with river water.

Therefore, when the Imperial authority is weaker compared to Martial World forces, lying low is indeed the wisest choice for the Imperial Family.

But the world is unpredictable, who could foresee that a mountain bandit leader from a bandit den of weak Song Country would be able to overthrow the powerful World Association, change Heavenly Destiny, and completely overturn the entire landscape of the Divine Martial Country?

No one in the world can fully grasp such matters, not even the ancient texts extremely revered by the major families can accurately encompass all the changes in the Mixed Martial Arts World.

Who could have imagined that when the Fire Qilin, this fierce beast, returned to the Divine Martial Country’s land where it once ravaged humanity, it would be in the sky, being suspended and flown over.

Below in the wind and snow-covered cities of the Divine Martial Country, some Martial World people sensed something, and suddenly looked up toward the snow-covered sky in the distance. Many abruptly widened their eyes and stood up in shock, feeling a nameless oppressive terror and trembling inexplicably.

"What is that?"

"Why do I feel anxious and terrified without reason?"

"The Abnormal People say... the Black Wind Village Chief clad in evil armor, riding a Demon Dragon, vanished over West Lake with the Fire Qilin, could it... could it be..."

"No, impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

In the distant sky, a bizarre black shadow twisted by, moving at a seemingly slow yet actually fast pace like black lightning, weaving through the clouds and mist.

Beneath the shadow, a blurred beastly silhouette radiating a faint crimson light quietly floated, surrounded by strands of Extreme Light, eerily dancing. As the beastly shadow floated across the sky, it left a clear mark akin to fingers wiping across a foggy porcelain plate, lingering until more snowflakes gradually covered it.

Such an eerie, mythic scene unfolding before the eyes of those Martial World people who had never ascended to the sky brought about waves of scalp-tingling shock, difficult to dispel for a long time.

Over centuries in the Martial World, no one had ever appeared capable of taming creatures like the Dragon and Fire Qilin, especially in the Divine Martial Country which had been long ravaged by the Fire Qilin, with the Fire Qilin symbolizing disaster and evil in legends.

Now, this symbol has been conquered by someone.

That person is the Black Wind Village Chief, the new Martial Arts Legend who vanquished the World Association’s Xiong Ba!

...

In the sky, Jiang Dali’s formidable and strong figure was wrapped in the sinister Heavenly Tribulation Battle Armor, resembling a Yama Ghost King emerging from Hell. The black cloak danced wildly behind him, the mysterious and icy glow emitted from the profound ice crystals covering the eyes on his pitch-black mask.

A powerful, invisible aura intimidating ghosts and monsters radiated from his dignified figure sitting cross-legged. His intense Qi converged between the palms of his hands, raised towards the heavens, and vibrated gradually within the Dantian using the special practicing method of Destructive Demon Body, continuously spreading and strengthening his limbs and bones.

In the inner vision sensing, the intensely powerful crimson Destructive Demon Energy spread like countless rivers from the Dantian, finally rising through the Yongquan acupoint on the soles of his feet to combine with another stream descending from the Mud Pill Palace at the top of his head. It passed through the large and small meridians, re-converging toward the Elixir Field Energy Sea.

Simultaneous forward and reverse Qi Flow caused the two streams to merge and swirl. When the swirling force accumulated to its peak, countless Qi arrows suddenly shot out from within the Dantian, spreading rapidly throughout the entire body in the next circulation.

In this repetitive cycle, each circulation of practicing strengthens the Destructive Demon Body’s formidable True Qi, reinforcing all muscles, organs, bones, and meridians a bit more, making the overwhelming deterrent effect he exuded increasingly formidable.

Since gaining one-tenth of the power of the Destructive Demon Body directly transmitted by Bai Suzhen at the base of Leifeng Tower, he had learned and successfully integrated this Heavenly Human Level Body Refining Technique into his own secret technique of the Golden Bell Unbreakable Body.

This caused the Martial Arts Realm Progress of the nearly reaching 10th realm, Shocking the Ancient and Modern level "Golden Bell Unbreakable Body," to retract from a proficiency of 88% down to 45%, making the breakthrough to the 10th realm Shocking the Ancient and Modern level seem even more distant.

Nonetheless, Jiang Dali understood that the retracting proficiency of the Golden Bell Unbreakable Body did not imply a weakening in the martial art’s power.

On the contrary, due to incorporating many essential techniques of the Destructive Demon Body, both the effects of body refinement and power under the Golden Bell Unbreakable Body state had considerably enhanced.

The one-tenth power acquired from Bai Suzhen was entirely purified using the Breaking Realm Pearl, further fortifying his physique. After dual cultivation with Murong Qingqing, his Qi-Blood surged to an astounding thirty-nine million.

This physical enhancement is reflected in the physical strength and toughness of his body, with muscles, bones, and internal organs receiving further reinforcement, enabling even greater strength, resistance, and robust Life Force.

The might of the Destructive Demon Body lies in integrating one’s Essence Qi with Demonic Qi, subsequently fortifying the body, achieving the legendary "Supreme Demon Body" capable of suppressing all evil.

This martial art, naturally, progresses faster and deeper for those with heavier Demon Nature.

Jiang Dali inherently possesses a potent Demon Nature. At the tail pillow acupoint of his body, substantial Demonic Qi accumulates, coupled with the strong Demon Nature of the Great Strength Fire Qilin Saber and Fallen Fire Qilin, making him an excellent prodigy for cultivating the Destructive Demon Body secret technique.

Hence, during the past two days of travel, he effortlessly utilized the Demonic Qi at the tail pillow acupoint to cultivate his personal Destructive Demon Energy.

The next step is to slowly integrate Destructive Demon Energy into the flesh and bones throughout his body, further strengthening the body into a demon body.

However, merely cultivating to this point, he already feels that his originally relatively weak physique, as he assessed, has become much stronger with the enhancement of physical power.

Although he doesn’t know how long he can maintain the twelve times power state of 10th level Demon Intent if he enters the Life and Death State again.

But he estimates that with the current strength of his physique, maintaining the state of twelve times extreme power in battle should not end as miserably as it did in the battle at Heaven Mountain.

Due to the extreme nature of the secret technique he concocted, every use would overdraw the body’s potential and deplete Essence Qi. Jiang Dali couldn’t easily try the twelve times power in extreme state, he could only silently evaluate in his heart.

At this time, after practicing 36 Circulations, Jiang Dali feels that his spirit has reached the peak, the power inside his body surges, as if every muscle contains a terrifying immense power, so he slowly retracts all his strength to the Dantian, suddenly opens his eyes, abruptly raises his arms high and lets out a heaven-shaking roar as if a Demon King has descended upon the world.

"Ah!!!!——"

This long roar is an uncontrollable release after reaching the peak of his power. The roar completely overpowers the howling of the wind and snow in the high sky, shaking the surrounding air, clouds, and snowflakes as if being pushed away by countless invisible giant hands, making the fierce cold wind whistle sharply and sweep far away, and the heavy snow and clouds roll out like giant dragons sweeping in all directions.

With the power of one person!

It has already shocked the world to such an extent.

This is simply the demeanor of a Martial Arts Legend.

Rumble——

As if attracted by the magnetic field of his strong life force, suddenly, lightning flashed a few times in the clouds not far away.

Jiang Dali took a long breath, looked at the dangerous thunder accumulating in the clouds nearby, and slowly restrained his aura, not wanting to create complications on the journey now, because he planned to make a breakthrough, to elevate his Power Realm to the level of Returning to Truth 5 Realm in one go.

Until today, the Black Wind Martial Arts First Tournament, lasting nearly twenty days, has ended completely at Dragon Tiger Gang faster than expected.

The outstanding expert players selected throughout the entire tournament were all within his expectations, with no dark horses appearing out of nowhere.

Among them, the three players Ping Shengaoqi, Tie Niu, and Ning Su already have the potential to break through to the Heavenly Human Realm.

Among them, Ping Shengaoqi, who has comprehended the true essence of Little Li’s Flying Knife, is the most outstanding.

Jiang Dali did not relax his attention and nurturing of the players.

But due to his current status and busyness, he really couldn’t immediately personally attend to the Martial Arts progress of these people.

So, he entrusted the task of nurturing these core top players to Bai Ting to handle personally.

And the entire Black Wind Martial Arts First Tournament has contributed more than twenty million Cultivation Points and Potential Points to him.

Now, his total Cultivation Points have reached over 25 million, and Potential Points have also reached over 28 million.

These massive Cultivation Points and Potential Points are fully capable of supporting his direct breakthrough from Returning to Truth 3 Realm to Returning to Truth 5 Realm, thoroughly surpassing the past Xiong Ba.

He had originally planned to use this rare massive amount of Cultivation Points and Potential Points to improve his Martial Arts Realm, with the Power Realm only intended to be elevated to Returning to Truth 4 Realm.

But since discovering that Ying Country’s Holy Tomb can serve as a resource point for leveling up the Martial Arts Realm, he has changed his mind and is now ready to make a single push to break through to Returning to Truth 5 Realm, so that the next time he sees Bai Suzhen, he can surely be shocked into saying the one sentence he most wants to hear.

Gathering his thoughts, Jiang Dali began to prepare and brew.

The Demon Dragon, sensing the terrifying and flamboyant intimidating aura on Jiang Dali fade, also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, seeing the fearsome thunderclouds in the blizzard not far away, full of deterrence, quickly descended to lower altitude, preparing to sneak away.

All living beings naturally revere the heavens.

Even the Demon Dragon, cultivated by the reverse defying War God from the War God Temple, could not help but fear heavenly might, let alone dare to know there is thunder looming at Heaven’s Edge.

Yet, after descending over two hundred feet, a suddenly erupting strong to fearful life aura, like a volcano explosively erupting from beneath thick snow, wildly burst from Jiang Dali’s robust body.

This aura is so strong, so lasting, it is just like a rainbow reaching the sun, earth-shaking, akin to the surging Yangtze River, rolling continuously, frightening the Demon Dragon’s heart, making its blood rush throughout its body.

The Fire Qilin below, also taken aback with flames shooting three feet high from all over its body, its lantern-like enormous eyes filled with astonishment and fear, looked up at the sky in wonder, letting out a bewildered low growl.

"Woo!?..."
