The seventh layer of the Asura Battle Body has broken through.

This means his physical strength has surpassed the peak of the Heavenly Extreme Realm and entered the Saint Realm.

Currently, he is cultivating the techniques of the eighth layer.

However...

Several hours later, Xiao Yi suddenly stopped cultivating, frowning deeply.

The demon beast essence blood in his Universe Ring was completely exhausted at this point.

And now, he has merely cultivated to the midpoint of the eighth layer.

In other words, his current physical strength is at most around the sixth layer of the Saint Realm.

Compared to his current cultivation of the sixth layer of the Saint King Realm, battle power above the Saint Emperor Realm, this level of physical strength hardly brings any substantial improvement.

However, this was within Xiao Yi’s expectations.

The Asura Battle Body is a heaven-defying technique, its difficulty in cultivation needs no elaboration.

The cultivation items required are terrifying in quantity.

Long ago, this was already comparable to the massive cultivation items needed for his vast small world cultivation.

One can imagine the massive amount of cultivation items required.

Moreover, after the seventh layer, Xiao Yi had never found the whereabouts of the subsequent techniques.

Therefore, for a long period, he did not deliberately collect demon beast essence blood.

The demon beast essence blood obtained from previously killing demon beasts was mostly used as medicine for refining or for other purposes, and was not specifically kept.

Naturally, now that he suddenly obtained the techniques for the last five layers, he doesn’t have enough for cultivation.

However, to think that the first seven layers of the Asura Battle Body were lost in the Eastern Domain surprised him.

The former Eastern Domain was not separated from the Central Region.

It was only in the Ancient Times, during the last earth-shattering battle between human martial artists and demon beasts, that the sky collapsed and the earth cracked, separating the Eastern Domain.

Of course, that last battle also marked the end of the Ancient Times.

This means the first seven layers of the Asura Battle Body were lost in the Eastern Domain before that.

The war between the Ancient Eight Halls and the demon beasts was by no means a short-term war.

This should have taken up a long period during the Ancient Times.

In this way, the Asura Battle Body’s history can be traced back to a very long time ago.

This heaven-defying technique requires only demon beast essence blood and in massive quantities.

One could even say it is a technique created specifically for hunting and killing demon beasts.

Back when he was in the Eastern Domain, Xiao Yi thought it was created by an ancient strong person of the Demon Hunting Hall.

But now it seems to be the technique of the Asura Hall.

Moreover, who exactly created it is still unknown.

Xiao Yi thought about this for a while, shook his head, and didn’t dwell on it further.

The Ancient Times were indeed rich and colorful.

But evidently, there were many ancient secrets within.

Xiao Yi didn’t know anything, so thinking too much was futile.

After cultivating for a few more days, Xiao Yi chose to emerge from seclusion.

He was out of demon beast essence blood, and staying in seclusion was pointless.

The next step in his training had to begin again.

...

Leaving the seclusion room, Xiao Yi returned to the treasure vault and returned the last five layers of the Asura Battle Body.

Without saying farewell to the Master of the Main Hall, he sought out the previous deacon to inquire if the Master of the Main Hall had any instructions.

The deacon replied that there were none.

So he left the Main Hall.

However, not long after leaving the Main Hall, an elder blocked his path.

"Chengfeng Hall Master?" Xiao Yi looked puzzled.

Chengfeng Hall Master sneered, "I knew you wouldn’t obediently stay in seclusion."

"You’ve just come to the Asura Hall, and the time spent in the Asura Hall’s seclusion room wasn’t long."

"Uh." Xiao Yi was taken aback and asked doubtfully, "Why is Chengfeng Hall Master looking for me?"

"What do you think?" Chengfeng Hall Master’s face turned stern, "Since you don’t want to stay in seclusion in the Asura Hall, then obediently go back to Wind Shattering Hall for seclusion."

Having said that, Chengfeng Hall Master’s old hand grabbed Xiao Yi’s arm.

"Uh." Xiao Yi’s face twitched, "Is this trivial matter worth Chengfeng Hall Master’s effort to find me specifically?"

As always, Xiao Yi couldn’t break free from Chengfeng Hall Master’s grasp.

"Ha, effort?" Chengfeng Hall Master sneered.

"It’s a long journey for you, but for me..."

Before he finished speaking.

Xiao Yi’s face changed.

Whoosh...

Chengfeng Hall Master’s figure flashed, and he flew away with Xiao Yi.

In just over ten minutes, when Xiao Yi steadied himself with a stagger, he was already inside the main hall of the Wind Shattering Hall.

However, compared to last time with Hengtian Palace Master’s guidance, this time Xiao Yi was not in a sorry state, just a bit unsteady when landing.

"So fast." Xiao Yi was extremely shocked.

In his view, the strength of Chengfeng Hall Master and Hengtian Palace Master should be on par.

But in terms of speed, evidently, Chengfeng Hall Master was much faster.

After all, the Wind Dao excels in speed.

"Come, go into seclusion." Chengfeng Hall Master forcibly dragged Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi was full of black lines, "Chengfeng Hall Master, I have my own plans..."

However, Chengfeng Hall Master clearly did not listen to Xiao Yi.

"You aren’t even willing to spend a mere one or two months in seclusion."

"In the Ancient Times, reckless youngsters like you would’ve long been eaten by demon beasts."

At this moment, a deacon came hurriedly.

"Chengfeng Hall Master." The deacon said respectfully.

"What is it?" Chengfeng Hall Master asked, face stern.

The deacon said, "The Master of the Main Hall requests Vice Master Xiao Yi’s presence."

"The Master of the Main Hall?" Chengfeng Hall Master paused, then looked at Xiao Yi.

"Go to the Master of the Main Hall first, discuss matters, then go back to seclusion, I’ll be waiting here."

Xiao Yi pursed his lips, didn’t respond, and turned to leave.

With Chengfeng Hall Master watching, he probably wouldn’t even think of setting foot outside the main hall of the Wind Shattering Hall after discussing matters.

Behind him, the deacon softly said, "Chengfeng Hall Master, Vice Master Xiao Yi is already a renowned strong person; why force him?"

"Renowned?" Chengfeng Hall Master snorted, "No matter how strong or talented he is, in the end, isn’t he still a brash youngster?"

"If he goes astray, it needs correction."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yi’s face was full of black lines.

But faced with such old-fashioned yet incredibly powerful figures, he was helpless.

...

Arriving in front of the Master of the Main Hall’s study.

Just as Xiao Yi was about to enter, he heard a conversation inside.

"Master of the Main Hall, I have passed the inheritance path and came to request only a quota."

"The quota for our Wind Shattering Hall has already been given."

At this moment, a crisp female voice spoke.

"Master of the Main Hall, the quota for the Ancient Emperor’s Tomb should be given to the capable."

"As fellow Heavenly Talents of the Wind Shattering Hall, I believe we have the right to strive for it."

"I urge the Master of the Main Hall to treat us fairly."

"Hehe." The Master of the Main Hall chuckled, "Are you two certain?"

"Yes." The female voice echoed again.

The voice was full of confidence.

Xiao Yi frowned slightly; those two voices seemed familiar.

Xiao Yi shook his head and pushed the door open.

"Oh, you’ve arrived." The Master of the Main Hall glanced at Xiao Yi and smiled lightly.

"Master of the Main Hall sought me?" Xiao Yi asked in confusion.

At the same time, he glanced at the two people inside the room.

One man, one woman.

Seeing Xiao Yi, their expressions first showed surprise, then delight, "Senior Brother Xiao Yi?"

"Muu Ning, Nan Feng?" Xiao Yi frowned slightly, "Drop the ’Senior Brother’ title."
