Chapter 892 - 723: Thousand Hands Divine Skill and the Martial Seal Path

Lou Yi directly skipped over the first two options and stared straight at the third.

Divine Skills?

This was the first time he acquired a Divine Skill directly from a corpse.

Previously, it was nothing but talents, martial arts, elemental affinity, or energy, etc.

However, considering the identity of the target, Lou Yi felt relieved.

Celestial Abyss Demon God, the true colossus standing at the pinnacle of this world, unrivaled martial artist.

Even True Monarchs and Demon Kings might be slightly inferior compared to him, his might is truly earth-shattering.

If not for being constantly trapped in the Celestial Abyss unable to escape, he might have altered the power dynamics of the Main World.

Even a clone of the Demon God is an existence far beyond Lou Yi’s true body.

Being able to bypass not just one rank to touch this freshly forged corpse, it makes sense to reap a larger harvest.

Without hesitation, Lou Yi directly chose the third option, Divine Skills.

In the next moment, the prompt about Divine Skills also appeared.

Thousand Hands: Generate multiple Spiritual Arms on the basis of the original body, each enjoying abilities similar to the original arms, some effects can stack...

Lou Yi read the Divine Skill introduction several times but couldn’t make much sense of it, knowing this would require validation through practice.

Currently, there were too many people around, making it inconvenient.

He informed the female scholar Yun Jin briefly and then headed to a secluded area far away to prepare for contemplation.

The female scholar Yun Jin watched Lou Yi’s figure disappear into the forest, her eyes flickering, pondering silently.

"Junior Sister, why do you keep this person with us? His background is very suspicious." Nearby, the beast-bone man said discontentedly.

He was named Xu Feng, the eldest senior brother of the Treasure Vase Lineage, remarkably powerful, having entered the pinnacle of the True Martial Realm long ago.

Yun Jin gave Xu Feng a mild look: "Do you know, the sensation he gives me deep down is even stronger than our Master.

Even compared to the Vein Master of the Bright King Seal lineage, it’s no less impressive."

"What?!?"

Hearing this, everyone present was greatly shocked.

On the other side, Lou Yi was already alone.

He looked at the Attribute Panel:

Thousand Hands (Uninitiated 0/1000)→Thousand Hands (Initiated/?)

Subsequently, a massive amount of energy poured into his body from the void.

This energy was not gentle; it felt scalding and hot, like lava.

Moreover, it seemed to trigger a fierce chemical reaction with the Qi-Blood inside, turning Lou Yi’s entire body like a boiled crab, blushing.

All pores on his head and body surface spurted white fog like a torrent, soon turning the surrounding dense forests into a white, foggy artificial landscape.

His flesh, organs, muscles, bones, even cells, continually iterated and regenerated, advancing favorably.

His Qi-Blood strength continuously surged, progressing on the basis of the Second Realm’s pinnacle.

This was undoubtedly a transformative change, ranking foremost in Lou Yi’s entire cultivation journey.

Once the change was complete, Lou Yi felt his body lighten by dozens of kilograms.

His vision became broader, touch more sensitive, body filled with explosive strength, the eagle in his mind also grew more vibrant.

"Thousand Hands."

The Thousand Hands Divine Skill can operate constantly or hide in usual times, easily summoned when needed like a talent.

Under Lou Yi’s armpits, instantly, two ancient bronze-colored arms grew.

From the appearance, the so-called Spiritual Arms seemed no different from his original two arms, except for a slightly deeper color.

Then, two more arms grew from either side of his waist.

Adding Lou Yi’s original two, totaling six arms.

The six arms waved simultaneously, very harmonious, without any issues of coordination, as if the body were naturally meant to have six arms.

’It’s a pity, missing two heads, otherwise it would look more spectacular.’ Lou Yi thought.

In the myths from the previous world, many Immortal Gods in their prime had the image of three heads and six arms, such as Nezha and Yang Jian.

"Heaven-Sundering Claw."

Lou Yi performed the advanced martial technique Heaven-Sundering Claw.

Six hands formed claws, releasing compressed black Gang Qi from the palms, ’whoosh whoosh whoosh’ breaking through the air, crossing several miles of space, landing on a mountain thousands of meters tall in the distance.

’Boom!’

The mountain was directly disintegrated by this move.

With four extra Spiritual Arms, the number of compressed Gang Qi unleashed while performing Heaven-Sundering Claw was equivalent to three times the original.

However, despite the extraordinary effect, it wasn’t stunning.

Lou Yi furrowed his brows, waving six fists simultaneously, constantly exploring.

Soon, he discovered something special.

The force support points of the body’s additional four Spiritual Arms didn’t originate from within the body but from the depths of the void.

And in his mind, the enhanced eagle’s light faded in and out.

Two vague green figures marched out consecutively, standing beside it, also taking eagle forms and quickly stabilizing.

These two green eagles, with eyes full of spirit, like they were real eagles alive.

Either could control his current body, and the strength of their Divine Soul wasn’t much weaker than the initial eagle.

What did this mean, single core turned into triple core?

Lou Yi’s heart surged.

Meaning that when fighting others in the future, deploying the Thousand Hands Divine Skill would be equivalent to having three people combined?

This significance represents far more than merely adding two more.

"Heaven Shaking."

Lou Yi burned his Qi-Blood, and his six arms simultaneously struck fiercely at a point in the void, releasing six immense forces at that moment.

Each force reached, or at least approached, its previous peak state.

’Boom!’

The void at the impact point visibly trembled, and Lou Yi could even feel a slight rebound force on his fist.

’This strength...’ Lou Yi’s eyes lit up.

One must know, the space in the chaotic void is extremely sturdy, far surpassing that of the Main World.

Otherwise, experts of the Third Realm might have a chance to tear space apart.

Instead of drifting around in the void daily, relying on luck, the chaotic void would not become a graveyard full of despair and fear for countless experts.

This move was equivalent to having three of himself simultaneously delivering attacks no weaker than before, its power far surpassing the previous peak.

This is also the wonder of the Thousand Hands Divine Skill, with a stacking effect, not merely increasing by two pairs of hands.

Otherwise, with Lou Yi’s Disguise Talent, he could easily morph into a thousand hands.

But it would be utterly impossible for each hand to perform Martial Arts, with each hand maintaining the intensity of previous states.

After acquiring the Thousand Hands Divine Skill, Lou Yi’s strength received a considerable leap.

He is confident that now, if he contended with the Mid-Third Realm old woman surnamed Zhao of the Taiyi Sect or Anran, the Unicorn Ant Great Demon, he would have a significant chance of winning without waiting for them to get injured.

And this is merely at the introductory stage of the Thousand Hands Divine Skill.

Unfortunately, advancing requires unknown conditions, which need to be slowly explored later.

With his strength enhanced, Lou Yi felt pleased and returned to the team.

With his current speed, even a hundred miles away was a mere flick of the finger.

However, the atmosphere in the team was quite oppressive.

Yun Jin, Xu Feng, and others either had serious expressions or were downhearted, so Lou Yi also put away his smile at the sight.

Occasionally, some faint discussions reached his ears.

"Master is unconscious, we are certainly going to be at the bottom again in this Martial Arts Conference."

"Don’t be discouraged, Second Senior Sister has extraordinary talent, her strength is no less than that of the Vein Masters when they were younger..."

"Second Senior Sister is formidable, but she’s too young, and time waits for no one.

If we end up at the bottom again this time, the status of our lineage might truly be replaced by other branches."

"Alas, where is the path for the Treasure Vase Lineage?"

After listening for a while, Lou Yi understood the concerns of these Martial Artists, which involved the struggles among the various lineages in this world’s Martial Arts.

In the True Profound Continent, the Martial Seal Path is divided into many lineages.

The most influential ones include the Treasure Vase Seal, Lion Seal, Bright King Seal, Sun Seal, etc., and they generally have strong backgrounds and foundations.

And the Grandmasters of the Martial Seal Path once declared that whoever can lead the continent’s Martial Artists back to the Main World, all lineages will revere them.

However, to lead the tribesmen back, one must at least have cultivation above the Third Realm True Profound Realm to roam the chaotic void with ease and search for space nodes.

Although this world has considerable resources, they are insufficient to support a breakthrough to the Second Realm.

It requires the use of the Five-Colored Spirit Essence collected from beyond to aid the breakthrough.

Even if a qualitative change cannot be achieved, it can easily elevate strength to a higher level.

However, obtaining the Five-Colored Spirit Essence is difficult. The Grandmasters of various lineages have joined forces to collect it from the void, gathering only a small amount every thirty years.

The Martial Arts Conference of the Fan Kingdom aims to compete for this incredibly precious Five-Colored Spirit Essence.

Only the top five in each Martial Arts Conference are qualified to obtain the Spirit Essence.

The Treasure Vase Lineage has already fallen out of the top five in two consecutive sessions due to the Vein Master’s serious injuries, gaining nothing.

If this continues, the decline of the lineage is inevitable, and there’s even a risk of being swallowed by other lineages.

Everyone was very worried, especially as Lou Yi learned from their words that a few powerful branches were always covetously eyeing their lineage, harboring sinister intentions.

It was imaginable that after arriving in the Fan Kingdom, they would surely face various targeted actions.

’The Martial Seal Path is quite magical and different from the Martial Arts I practiced before.’

’If I can learn it, it should enhance my strength. Even if it doesn’t, it can increase my foundation.’

’This lineage is now in a crisis, perhaps this is my chance to step in.’

Lou Yi thought to himself.

However, even though he was very curious about the Martial Seal Path, he wouldn’t actively propose to learn it to avoid arousing suspicion. He would only observe during others’ practice.

"Treasure Vase Seal!"

The senior brother of the Treasure Vase Lineage, Xu Feng, stood on the open ground ahead, not minding being watched.

His lips moved rapidly, while his black and yellow hands made dazzling gestures.

In addition, his Qi-Blood was operating in a special state, causing patches of cyan and red to flash across his skin from time to time.

The three aspects seemed to form a resonance.

The next moment, a powerful energy surged from his body, instantly forming a black-red treasure bottle about the size of a human in front of him.

The treasure bottle spun and gleamed in the air, beautiful yet dangerous.

Immediately it flew around Xu Feng, enhancing the aura he emitted even more.

Moreover, Lou Yi noticed changes in the air flow and dust around Xu Feng’s body, as if the treasure bottle could affect the surrounding void.

’A beggar’s version of the Grandmaster Domain?’ Lou Yi thought to himself.

The desire to learn the Martial Seal Path grew even stronger in his heart.

But the art should not be easily transmitted, so he was still waiting for the right opportunity.

"Brother Lou, what Martial Mark do you cultivate?" Yun Jin suddenly asked, her voice as clear and pleasant as an oriole.
