Chapter 2632 - 2635: The Astonishing Effects of Life Essence

Ling Xiao had not had time to use the Life Essence when he suddenly felt someone approaching. He urgently placed the Life Essence and the more precious items from his Storage Ring into the Mountain and River World.

He knew who was coming from behind.

So he had to be careful.

"Who goes there!"

Thunder Venerate and others discovered Ling Xiao and instantly surrounded him.

Ling Xiao prepared himself to use the Vertical Earth Golden Light Technique.

Facing these experts, his only option was to escape.

"Reporting to the dean, it's me!"

Ling Xiao cupped his hands in salute.

"Are you that Ling Xiao? The genius Cang Lan found?"

Thunder Venerate clearly remembered Ling Xiao.

After all, Ling Xiao was the only one to have injured him since the founding of the Secret Realm Academy; it was impossible for him to not remember.

"Yes, it's me!"

"What are you doing here?"

Thunder Venerate frowned and asked.

"Uncle Wang, no need to ask pointless questions."

The Fourteenth Prince Chen Cangxiong looked coldly at Ling Xiao, regarding him from a condescending position and said, "Hand over your Storage Ring!"

Ling Xiao took a deep breath.

He felt threatened and humiliated.

But the opponents were too strong, strong enough that he could not deal with them.

Moreover, he didn't want to expose the secret of the Vertical Earth Golden Light Technique at this time.

Because using the Vertical Earth Golden Light Technique consumes too much, and if he used it before leaving the Imperial Extreme Secret Realm, he would definitely be chased by Chen Cangxiong.

Furthermore, he had already placed the more precious items from the Storage Ring into the Mountain and River World, so he was not afraid of the other party checking.

He took off the Storage Ring and then respectfully handed it to the Fourteenth Prince Chen Cangxiong.

Then, he swore in his heart that the humiliation he suffered today, he would definitely make Chen Cangxiong pay for it in the future.

Moreover, it would be soon!

"Bastard!"

The Fourteenth Prince Chen Cangxiong's investigation naturally yielded no results.

The Storage Ring contained only a small amount of Spirit Stone and some ordinary pills.

This also matched Ling Xiao's identity, a martial artist who came out of a small place, his Storage Ring naturally could not have too many better items.

But this angered Chen Cangxiong, who actually crushed the Storage Ring directly, smashing even the tens of thousands of Low-grade Spirit Stones inside.

Then, he didn't even look at Ling Xiao and turned to leave.

It seemed that he didn't take this ant seriously at all.

"Don't blame him, blame yourself for appearing here, blame yourself for being too weak!"

Thunder Venerate gave Ling Xiao a faint glance and then also flew away.

The seven elder academy members followed him in leaving.

Ling Xiao stared at the Storage Ring that had been crushed into powder on the ground, his fists clenched tightly.

"Too weak, is it? You're right! If you're too weak, you'll be bullied!

You all wait, soon, I will make him kneel before me and apologize!"

He let out a long-held breath.

Ling Xiao also turned and left.

This place was not safe to stay in for long.

Because this was the King Level Region, the Yuanling Clan had already returned, and if he stayed any longer, he feared they would annihilate him.

Leaving the King Level Region, Ling Xiao arrived at the General-level Area.

Here, blood was flowing like a river, but temporarily there was no fighting.

Ling Xiao chose a safe place, set up an Array Formation, and then took out the Life Essence and swallowed it in one gulp.

Because of this item, he was humiliated by the Fourteenth Prince Chen Cangxiong.

Therefore, he must utilize this item well.

He sat cross-legged and the Life Essence in his body began releasing its power continuously.

This power, unlike other energy, had no harm to his body.

So he felt no pain.

His cultivation level broke through its constraints in an instant, directly ascending to the First Transformation Yin-Yang Realm Ninth Layer Hell Peak.

After reaching the Ninth Layer Hell Peak, this power did not cease.

It kept accumulating.

One part!

Two parts!

...

Nine parts!

Ten parts!

Finally, the energy for breaking through to the First Transformation Yin-Yang Realm Tenth Layer Hell was completely filled.

But now Ling Xiao faced a troublesome issue.

This was the Imperial Extreme Secret Realm; within the realm, how could he open the Hell Gate?

Previous breakthroughs were small advancements within the same hell layer and did not require opening a new Hell Gate.

But this time was different; he had to open the gate of the Tenth Layer Hell.

This difficulty was greater than imagined.

If Ling Xiao asked other people, the conclusion would be that it was impossible.

But he was unaware, so he was also fearless!

He sat there, fully controlling the Life Essence within him, continuously impacting the barrier of breakthrough.

Above his head, the terrifying Hell Gate had appeared but was reluctant to open.

"Open for me!"

Although the Imperial Extreme Secret Realm was constantly affecting his cultivation, not allowing him to open the Hell Gate.

This was a mysterious energy constantly blocking him.

But Ling Xiao had a way to break it down.

This mysterious energy, in simpler terms, was running like an Array Formation.

Without being able to penetrate and understand its intricacies, relying solely on brute force was naturally futile.

But Ling Xiao could tackle it from both sides.

The Tai Chi Eye analyzed the flaws in that energy, while the Soul Core emerged, continuously assaulting the weakest points of the energy.

It took a full seven days before it was finally broken.

And at that moment, the Hell Gate opened.

Terrifying energy soared to the sky.

Ling Xiao's cultivation level formally entered the First Layer Hell of Yin-Yang Realm Cultivation, Early Stage.

Breaking through small realms within the same hell layer was easy.

But breaking through between hell layers was extremely difficult.

Being able to break through was absolutely a huge stroke of luck for Ling Xiao.

"It's so powerful, this Life Essence alone makes me achieve such a huge breakthrough, I bet no one would think of that.

Fourteenth Prince, I still have to thank you; it's like spending a Storage Ring and those Spirit Stones to trade for this huge breakthrough in power."

As the cultivation level broke through, Ling Xiao began the cultivation of new moves.

Today, he was no longer satisfied with Top Grade Jade Martial Arts Skills.

Having reached the First Layer Hell of Yin-Yang Realm, he was fully capable of accessing Immortal Grade One Heavenly Martial Skill.

Dark Shadow Martial Arts has a follow-up move that is an Immortal Grade One Heavenly Martial Skill.

Ling Xiao now intended to cultivate this move—Shadow Sword Demon.

Ling Xiao spent a day comprehending the martial skill.

This was already his ninth day in the Imperial Extreme Secret Realm.

Afterward, having successfully comprehended, he used the strong Monster Beasts in the General-level Area to refine the martial skill.

He honed the Dark Shadow Sword Demon move to the Elementary Realm.

However, he felt that this was already enough.

While most martial artists were still stuck at Top Grade Jade, or even High-Level Jade Martial Skills, he had quietly mastered an Immortal Grade One Heavenly Martial Skill.

This was a huge upgrade to his power.

The reason for stopping cultivation partly was that the time had reached the tenth day.

He had to go back and check the situation, to see what arrangements remained in the Secret Realm Academy.

Another reason was concern for Lin Ruoxian and Yue Shang's safety.

Those two were in a safe zone during the outbreak of battle, but after the fight subsided, no one could confirm their safety.

Therefore, he had to go back.

Ling Xiao concealed his true cultivation level, only revealing a Late Hell Stage Cultivation of Yin-Yang Realm Ninth Layer.

That was already quite impressive, and revealing any more might provoke trouble.
