Chapter 458: Hardening One's Kung Fu

. 。A snow sculpture, fast as lightning, came charging from afar, straight towards the Flying Crane warship. 。 Xiang Qingcheng's body only released a mighty sword intent, and the snow carving was start...During the following period, Lu Xiaotian only refined a few furnaces of pills. After all, he was not short of pills now. Besides refining more than ten earth-type Jinding Pills, he had everything else he needed. Instead of wasting time on alchemy, Lu Xiaotian spent every day using his second and third divine souls to deduce formations, making his attainments in formations increasingly profound.

While the main soul continuously cultivates the Great Heavenly Soul Technique, and the nameless technique of the serpentine scales within the black scales.

“Hiss!”

The punch was like a diamond, as if it had been gathering strength for a long time, suddenly springing up like a venomous snake. It caught people off guard.

This is a test.

After cultivating for over a year in the cave, Lu Xia Tian suddenly felt a tingling sensation on his skin while practicing this nameless technique. Especially when he punched, the energy running through his hands intensified the tingling. Lu Xia Tian was surprised and looked closely, discovering that a layer of fine, pale red scales appeared on the surface of his hands when he channeled his energy.

Lu Xia Tian suddenly remembered, Xun Xiu’s move was also like this, but Xun Xiu's scales were black, like snake scales, and his current body's fine scales were light red scales, which looked a bit like dragon scales. Could it be because of the fire dragon blood he consumed

Although he had some doubts in his heart, he did not stop practicing the serpentine nameless kung fu. The scales that formed on his body represented that he was officially入門 into cultivating this technique. This nameless kung fu is divided into three layers. The first layer simply imitates the movements. When cultivating to the second layer, the body will undergo various changes when using the kung fu, and the moves will also carry a demonic serpent's aura. The third layer is the legendary transformation. It is said that the black figure cultivates to the extreme and directly transforms into a giant black python. Although it seems to be only three simple layers, most people can only get stuck at the second layer, unable to reach the third layer of transformation.

Lu Xia Tian, including the previous Xun Xiu, had only touched the threshold of the second layer. As for why he cultivated so quickly, Lu Xia Tian guessed it was related to his cultivation of the Taihao Battle Body and the Soul Swallowing Dafa.

Originally, Lu Xia tian was a little puzzled. Such a powerful physical training method as the Ta Hao Battle Body lacked corresponding battle skills. After all, without battle skills, cultivators couldn't fully display their offensive and defensive capabilities. In the past, when Lu Xia tian fought with others, he mostly relied on his strong physique and short-range burst of power, but he didn't truly demonstrate the strength a cultivator should have. In contrast, Xun Xiu displayed the terrifying power of close-quarters combat to its fullest.

Now it seems that the Ta Hao Zhan Ti is more like a mother body, the degree of transformation of the body is far beyond other physical training methods. Moreover, the Ta Hao Zhan Ti seems to have great inclusiveness. The current snake-shaped body refining method is an example. Also, the Hun Shen Da Fa is also extremely divine. Not only can it cultivate the Soul War Method, but it can also eliminate the sinister aura of the Snake-Shaped Kung Fu. However, every time he refined the Beast Soul Battle Pearl, he could feel that a trace of essence from the demon beast's primordial spirit was swallowed by his own primordial spirit, but he couldn't detect any abnormalities himself, and he didn't know whether this phenomenon was good or bad.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

However, regardless of the circumstances, both "Ta Hao Battle Body" and "Swallowing Soul Great Law" possess extremely strong inclusivity. And these two mysterious martial arts seem to be able to complement each other to a certain extent, one focusing on the physical body and the other on the soul. At least from what I can see at present, cultivating these martial arts is beneficial to him.

Hiss....

Lu Xia Tian's punch was like lightning. He didn't need to make a sound with his mouth, but between each punch, there seemed to be the faint sound of a snake spitting venom, making it quite mystical.

Practicing the martial arts techniques over and over, even just mimicking the most basic serpentine movements, revealed their endless variations. Each move seamlessly connected to the next, transforming into countless possibilities. Each strike possessed incredible power, and Lu Xia Tian could finally understand the true terror of physical cultivation at this moment.

After several hours, Lu Xiaocen finally stopped. A white aura lingered above his head, swirling like a python within the faint mist, with a hint of dragon energy as well. Lu Xiaocen closed his eyes and meditated until he absorbed the white aura completely back into his body. Only then did he open his eyes again.

After doing all that, Lu Xiaotian spread his hands. A white porcelain bottle appeared in his left hand, and a transparent bead materialized in his right palm. Inside the bead, two souls of the Black Abyss Elephants were sealed. Throughout this period, Lu Xiaotian wasn't solely cultivating the nameless technique of the serpent form; he had continuously refined the Soul War Beads. The souls of the two Black Abyss Elephants had been successfully refined by him. At this point, he was quite familiar with the soul refinement art. Due to the power of the souls, this secret art was incredibly easy to learn. Previously, when refining, Lu Xiaotian felt that it was a difficult task, and the Soul War Bead already contained the essence of one Black Abyss Elephant. Using it directly would be a waste, considering the terrifying physical strength of the Black Abyss Elephant. Even Lu Xiaotian, a sixth-rank body cultivator, was far inferior in terms of sheer physical power compared to the Black Abyss Elephant.

He was reluctant to waste the primordial spirits of the Black Abyss Elephants, so he tried sealing two primordial spirits together into the Soul War Yuanzhu. Unexpectedly, it actually worked. The Soul War Yuanzhu, as a vessel, wasn't only capable of containing one demon beast's primordial spirit.

Since it could accommodate two, perhaps it could accommodate a third as well. Lu Xia Tian looked very carefully at the other small bottle in his hand. At this time, he only had this seventh-rank fire dragon spirit left on him. The reason why he didn't stay in the pottery figurine's cave was because he was worried that cultivating this kind of sorcery on the other party's territory would arouse the pottery figurine's suspicion. After all, in the eyes of the pottery figurine, he was just a cultivator at the foundation building stage, but the fire dragon spirit could allow him to have terrifying combat power comparable to a nascent soul early-stage cultivator in a short period of time.

Now he had no other monster essence on hand to experiment with, and in this unfamiliar place, he couldn't go looking for others. Even though refining this seventh-order fire dragon essence carried some risk, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and do it.

Just to be safe, Lu XiaTian set up another formation specifically designed to confine Yuanshen around the area.

Having done all of that, Lu Xia Tian opened the vial. The seventh-order Fire Jiao's soul and spirit hadn't emerged yet, but a terrifying divine consciousness pressure surged out from within.

Facing this unprecedentedly powerful demonic beast spirit, Lu Xia Tian didn't dare to be even slightly careless. He stretched out his finger and snapped it repeatedly, a large number of soul-binding ash lines formed into a fine net, directly sealing the mouth of the bottle. Once the fire dragon spirit dashed out from inside, it would directly crash into the fine net woven by Lu Xia Tian with soul-binding ash lines. several spiritual materials like the Gui Xin Stone and the skull of the Earth Demon Bear in front of him. A swirling mass of mana enveloped these materials.The spiritual energy continuously eroded th...
