Chapter 669 668: Yue Lingxi's Shock

'At best, he's just a top-tier genius like me. There's no way he could be a peerless prodigy!'

Yue Lingxi pouted.

She reached her own arrogant conclusion.

In her eyes, while this guy had some strength and talent, he was, at most, a High-tier Genius capable of fighting three tiers above his level, just like her.

She could glean this from their previous exchange.

He clearly had the aura of a Peak of Fifth Tier Divine General, yet he could effortlessly display the power of a Tier Seven Divine Marquis Peak. If he were to fully unleash his power...

'He should be able to manage three tiers.'

Of course.

This was only Yue Lingxi's guess.

She even felt she was overestimating him a little.

'Because this guy's body constitution and aura didn't seem special at all.'

For a genius...

The three most important factors for fighting above one's tier were body constitution, Secret Techniques, and Divine Techniques.

These manifested as a powerful aura, a formidable body, and terrifying combat skills.

The three seemed independent, but they actually complemented each other.

Take Yue Lingxi herself, for example. If her body could evolve into a Taiyin Sacred Body, her internal Taiyin Qi would transform into Taiyin Sacred Qi. With that alone, she could easily crush opponents three tiers higher than herself.

If she could comprehend a Supreme Divine Technique capable of leading directly to the Great Emperor realm and use it to unleash that Taiyin Sacred Qi, her power could jump another three tiers.

That would be six tiers in total.

The level of Supreme Divine Techniques.

As for going beyond six tiers, in addition to body constitution, aura, and Divine Techniques, one would need a special Secret Technique.

And such Secret Techniques...

...were extremely rare.

Even Yue Lingxi, the Holy Palace Saintess, had never come across such a Secret Technique.

Of course.

Secret Techniques for those below the True God realm were a different matter.

Below the True God realm.

While Secret Techniques for fighting above one's tier were still uncommon, someone of Yue Lingxi's standing could still access them. For instance, back when she was in the Small Divine Ability Realm, she had relied on a Secret Technique, her body constitution, and her skills to contend with experts at Demigod Peak.

At that time.

Her ability to fight across tiers had reached nearly six levels, and her rank on the Hidden Dragon List had once been in the top twenty—all because of that one Secret Technique.

Unfortunately.

Below the True God realm...

...all were merely hidden dragons.

Only by becoming a True God...

...could one become a True Dragon.

In comparison, the Extreme Dao List, which represented the cross-tier combat power of True Gods, was far more prestigious.

But on the Extreme Dao List, despite being a High-tier Genius, Yue Lingxi couldn't even break into the top one hundred.

This showed...

...just how fierce the competition on the Extreme Dao List was.

Perhaps.

Only by cultivating her Taiyin Body to the level of a Peak Dao Body and reaching the ability to fight five tiers above her level would Yue Lingxi have a chance to enter the Extreme Dao List and secure a spot in the top thirty.

But that was all in the future, and whether she could succeed was still uncertain.

Nothing was absolute.

It was even possible that if she failed to continue improving, she might not even be able to maintain her ability to fight three tiers above her level.

That was why Yue Lingxi had initially thought rather highly of Yang Xiao. His talent seemed comparable to hers, especially since his body constitution appeared to be even weaker than her own.

Speaking of body constitution...

'Huh? Wasn't he clearly a Middle-grade Treasure Body? How did he suddenly level up a grade to become an Upper-Grade Treasure Body? And it even seems to be on the verge of breaking through to an Ultimate-grade Treasure Body—a peak Upper-Grade Treasure Body?'

Yue Lingxi froze instantly.

'This... this is simply impossible.'

'Could it be that this guy has a way to hide his body constitution?'

'But if not...'

'Could he have really raised his Treasure Body Level by a whole grade in just a few days?'

'This... this is just too incredible.'

All at once...

Yue Lingxi stopped in her tracks again.

'I can't leave.'

This guy...

...he made her far too curious.

In just a few days.

The change in him was simply too great.

So great that she could hardly believe it.

But just as she was reeling in confusion...

...her feelings toward Yang Xiao a complicated mess...

...Yang Xiao's hand...

...at that moment, finally came to rest on the body of the man formed from Seven Evils Unite.

That touch...

...brought Yue Lingxi's consciousness back to reality, pulling her from her chaotic thoughts.

She immediately heard...

...the iron tower-like man from Seven Evils Unite threaten with a mix of nervousness and exasperation, "If you dare try anything funny, this woman will die before we do!"

"Is that so?"

Unlike before, this time...

...Yang Xiao smiled—a very confident smile.

Then.

He gently tapped with his hands.

Instantly.

The Power of Taiyin that had spread throughout the Seven Evils' body was suddenly stirred.

It all converged toward the hand that was gripping Nangong Tianling.

And seeing this scene...

Yue Lingxi's eyes widened to an incredible degree.

You have to understand...

...that was the Power of Taiyin.

'Not my Power of Taiyin, but Master's Power of Taiyin.'

This guy...

'How did he do that?'

'Even I couldn't do that! How is he doing it?'

Yue Lingxi was about to lose her mind.

This man.

The more she observed...

...the more incomprehensible and incredible his actions seemed.

But unlike her shock...

...the man of the Seven Evils Fusion felt it even more keenly.

He just didn't realize...

...how unbelievable this was.

He only thought it was a matter of course.

In his eyes, it was Yang Xiao who had sealed him in the first place.

So wasn't it natural...

...that he could also undo it?

Therefore, he wasn't surprised at all.

Instead, after sensing the state of his body, he laughed smugly.

Although not even a shred of the Power of Taiyin had left his body...

...the result...

...was no different.

As the Power of Taiyin flowed to one place, moving toward the arm that held Nangong Tianling...

...the Seven Evils' felt...

...a sensation of being simultaneously released...

...and restrained.

He felt that the hand holding Nangong Tianling was being bound, unable to exert any strength. It even began to necrotize, as if it would be completely sealed off.

But the rest of his body was constantly being freed.

He could feel his own power surging back.

'A perfect chance! Kill him!'

With a single thought...

...upon sensing that sixty percent of his power had returned...

...the Seven Evils Fusion man...

...instantly struck at Yang Xiao.

And this time...

...his target was right in front of him.

He himself could unleash at least fifty to sixty percent of his full strength.

This strike...

...was a guaranteed hit.

And the one hit...

...this brat named Yang Xiao...

...would surely die.

A ferocious and triumphant smile instantly appeared on his face.

'This mission...'

'...is a success!'

But...

...was that really the case?

Yang Xiao smiled faintly.

With a flicker of his body...

...he caught Nangong Tianling as she fell from the Seven Evils Fusion man's grasp and brought her into the Heaven-Fighting Divine Palace.

Immediately after.

His aura surged as the Divine General Talisman activated.

A black light flashed in his hand, and the Bloodthirsty Divine Sword appeared.

He raised his hand and slashed at the iron tower-like man.

An aura of Supreme Yin and Cold...

...burst from his body.

And sensing that aura of Supreme Yin and Cold...

...Yue Lingxi, who was already deeply shocked...

...was now completely dumbfounded.

Because this... was simply too unbelievable!
