Tyrant Sky Martial Soul-Chapter 2302 - 2305: Netherworld Ghost Claw—Yaksha!
"By the way, Steward Ruo Xian, I’m heading back to Black Immortal Mountain next, so I’ll take my leave."
This time, Ling Xiao returned to Eight Immortals Mountain not to flirt with anyone.
He came to enhance his strength.
After returning, he plans to prepare a bit before venturing to the Ghost Prison Second Floor.
According to sect regulations, the Ghost Prison First Layer is meant for martial artists with Yin Yang Realm First Layer Hell Cultivation.
Ghost Prison Second Floor, in principle, requires reaching Second Level Hell Cultivation to enter.
However, this is merely a principle. If one is a Reincarnation Warrior, exceptions are surely made.
His reason for wanting to enter the Ghost Prison Second Floor is due to a secret message obtained when killing the Demon Envoy.
No one else has seen this secret message; only he is aware of it.
The message mentions something about another Blood Pool on the Ghost Prison Second Floor that could assist the Demon Envoy in merging the power of the Blood-sucking Demonic Beast, thereby achieving a breakthrough in cultivation and gaining more terrifying strength.
Regardless of whether this claim is true or not, Ling Xiao plans to give it a try.
Currently, he relies on the Tyrant Sky Child God to devour the Blood-sucking Demonic Beast, but learning how to completely integrate the demon beast’s energy requires some tricks.
This secret message might just be the key to unlocking those tricks, and he naturally can’t easily pass it up.
Moreover, his contribution points aren’t many at present, only 1,200 points, yet there are many things he needs to exchange for.
Killing prisoners and monster beasts on the Ghost Prison Second Floor results in acquiring more contribution points.
He’ll earn whatever he can.
Back at Black Immortal Mountain, Ling Xiao surprisingly finds his residence has been replaced.
The original straw hut has become a clean and spacious house, not as grand as the manors of Upper Eight Immortals Mountain disciples, yet still several times better than before.
This is naturally due to his cultivation level improvement.
In any sect, the higher your cultivation level, the better the treatment you receive. Ling Xiao has walked this path before and understands it well now.
Feng Ru is cultivating, and Zhou Tong now dares not provoke Ling Xiao.
En Renfeng, being a Martial Fool, is vigorously preparing for the Upper Eight Immortals Mountain assessment.
The Hei Xianshan Mountain Master remains as mysterious as ever, still absent from the mountain.
Finding nothing else to do, Ling Xiao directly heads to the Ghost Prison.
The most urgent matter now is quickly converting the energy of the Blood-sucking Demonic Beast within him.
Otherwise, having a violent beast hidden in the body remains undesirable.
What’s more, he’s about to participate in the Upper Eight Immortals Mountain assessment; any level of strength increase counts as progress. Right now, converting the demon beast’s energy is the most direct way to enhance his power.
Outside the Ghost Prison, the place is teeming with voices.
The number of people on the Ghost Prison First Layer is particularly high, probably because most of the Eight Immortals Mountain disciples possess cultivation lower than the Yin Yang Realm First Layer Hell.
Arriving at the Ghost Prison Second Floor, the numbers diminish significantly.
Ling Xiao sees mostly unfamiliar faces.
Rumor has it that the Ghost Prison has five layers in total.
Each layer corresponds to a level of hell: First Layer to First Level Hell, Second Layer to Second Level Hell, and Third Layer to Third Level Hell, and so on.
The higher up you go, the stronger the prisoners and beasts locked within.
Ling Xiao currently lacks the qualification to enter the Third Layer; even entering the Second Layer, he’s receiving a lot of dubious looks.
Many think he lacks the qualifications to step into the Ghost Prison Second Floor.
"Has the Ghost Prison become so accessible now? A waste with First Layer Hell cultivation dares to come up?"
"Exactly, just because you destroyed some insignificant sect, don’t think you’re a hero; it counts for nothing."
Perhaps in the eyes of most in Eight Immortals County City, Ling Xiao is a hero, but in the eyes of these proud Eight Immortals Mountain disciples, Ling Xiao is just an overambitious and greedy scoundrel.
These proud fellows harbor jealousy towards Ling Xiao, thus harboring little goodwill towards him.
In fact, a disciple in a scarlet-red robe suddenly appears in front of Ling Xiao, a cold face exuding a sinister aura.
"Late Stage Second Level Hell cultivator of the Yin Yang Realm?"
Ling Xiao glances at this person, realizing he should be an outstanding disciple from Red Immortal Mountain.
He’s stronger than those who underwent the First Layer Ghost Prison trial before.
To be honest, such cultivation is quite decent, but unfortunately, he’s not even a First Transformation Martial Artist.
To try to bother Ling Xiao with this level of cultivation, he’s truly overestimating himself. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂
"Stop, today the Ghost Prison Second Floor is reserved by Miss Chi Linger. Unless you are a Disciple of Red Immortal Mountain, you’re forbidden from entering!"
This person coldly says, looking at Ling Xiao.
"Move aside!"
Ling Xiao, not bothering with this type of henchman, directly replies.
"What did you say?"
The person pauses, seemingly not expecting Ling Xiao to speak to him this way, surprised.
"I told you to move aside!"
Ling Xiao raises his head, speaking indifferently.
"You’re asking for it!"
The person, as a martial artist with Late Stage Second Level Hell cultivation, even if not a First Transformation Martial Artist, is still someone of some status in Red Immortal Mountain. He can’t tolerate Ling Xiao’s outrageous behavior.
Immediately, he swings a fist at Ling Xiao.
"Netherworld Ghost Claw · Yaksha!"
Ling Xiao’s left hand suddenly transforms into sharp claws, unleashing the Netherworld Ghost Claw obtained from Yuan Neng.
Originally, this martial skill was just like the Falling Star Sword Art, a Mid-Tier Jade Martial Technique.
Yet it suited the Child God Martial Soul Transformation form well, hence Ling Xiao practiced it.
The first move of Netherworld Ghost Claw is executed.
The massive claw emanates eerie blackness, manifesting the ferocious visage of Yaksha.
This move has only reached proficient level due to Ling Xiao’s brief cultivation time.
Even so, upon executing this claw, it cripples an arm of the opponent.
The arm, encapsulated in blackness, instantly decays to a skeleton.
"Scram!"
Ling Xiao retracts his hand, coldly commanding, "Leave, or face death!"
The person is horrified, turns swiftly to escape, but accidentally collides with someone.
"Young Miss!"
Ling Xiao also turns to look at this so-called young miss, who indeed is none other than Chi Yan Er’s elder sister, Chi Ling’er.
"Quite impressive, aren’t you?"
Chi Ling’er coldly regards Ling Xiao.
"Not as impressive as you, trying to monopolize the Ghost Prison Second Floor!"
Ling Xiao retorts sarcastically.
"That’s because I have the strength!"
Chi Ling’er sneers, "Don’t think your deeds are forever unknown! My poor sister, did you kill her?"
Ling Xiao doesn’t answer because he knows this will eventually be exposed, and he never intended to argue.
"Seems you won’t defend yourself."
Chi Ling’er says icily, "In that case, don’t blame me for being rude! I am no weakling like Chi Yan Er, who only follows men!"
"Have you finished speaking? May I enter the Ghost Prison Second Floor now?"
Ling Xiao calmly asks Chi Ling’er.
With this statement, a wave of murmurs spreads among the crowd.
"Is Ling Xiao out of his mind? Chi Ling’er clearly wants to retaliate against him, yet he dares to enter the Ghost Prison Second Floor? Suicidal, isn’t it?"
"Who knows, maybe after defeating the Demon Envoy he believes he’s invincible under the heavens, his mind might be a bit off."
