Batian Martial Soul

Chapter 12878 Almost died
Ling Xiao's body trembled violently, and his face showed shock and pain. His body was shaking violently, as if he was tightly bound by an invisible force and could not move.

"Ah!" Ling Xiao let out a painful groan, and then his whole body fell straight to the ground as if he was struck by lightning, and fainted on the spot.

The Demon Soul King was horrified when he saw this. He rushed to Ling Xiao and carefully took the Tianluo Demon Crown off his head.

After a long time, Ling Xiao slowly woke up. He struggled to sit up and rubbed his aching forehead. Thinking back to what happened just now, he still felt a lingering fear in his heart. He looked at the Tianluo Demon Crown in his hand, and a complex emotion flashed in his eyes.

He didn't expect that he was almost killed by this seemingly powerful magic tool.

"Boy, you usually look like you are thinking carefully, why are you acting so rashly today?" There was a hint of blame in the Demon Soul King's voice. He looked at Ling Xiao with a frown.

Ling Xiao's face froze slightly, he scratched his head and smiled awkwardly. He knew that the Demon Soul King was talking about his rash attempt to wear the Tianluo Demon Crown.

"I was careless." Ling Xiao said in a low voice, with a trace of regret in his eyes, "I thought it should be no problem to just wear a magic tool, but I didn't expect the power of this magic tool to be so strong, far beyond my imagination."

The Demon Soul King sighed, shook his head, and continued: "Do you know what level of magic tool this is? With your current realm and physical strength, you can't withstand its power at all. Fortunately, you only wear one, otherwise, the consequences will be disastrous."

Hearing this, Ling Xiao's face became even more solemn. He knew that the words of the Demon Soul King were not alarmist, and he also deeply felt the terrifying power of the Tianluo Demon Crown. He was glad that he only tried it once and did not really wear it all on his body.

"I was indeed too impulsive this time." Ling Xiao apologized sincerely. He knew very well that his recklessness had brought worries and troubles to the Demon Soul King.

The Demon Soul King looked at Ling Xiao, his eyes revealing a hint of helplessness and worry. He knew Ling Xiao was a young man with potential, but sometimes being too impulsive and overconfident could put him in danger. He hoped that Ling Xiao could learn from this lesson and act more cautiously in the future.

“Listen, no matter what situation you face, you must remain vigilant and never be careless. People only have one life. No matter how strong you are, once you are careless, you may face life-threatening danger or even lose this precious life.” The Demon Soul King’s voice was low and serious, and his words were full of concern and worry for Ling Xiao.

He continued seriously, "On the path of cultivation, you need to constantly improve your strength. I suggest that you first raise your realm to the Martial Soul Realm. This is a critical stage, and it represents that your strength and potential have reached a new height."

"At the same time, you must also learn the Earth Dragon Technique as soon as possible. This martial art can not only make your body stronger, but also transform you into a dragon demon in battle, greatly improving your ability to withstand pressure and combat effectiveness. When you reach a certain level and master the Earth Dragon Technique, you may be able to wear this set of Tianluo magic tools."

"That makes sense!" Ling Xiao's eyes lit up after hearing the Demon Soul King's reminder, as if he had just woken up from a dream. He realized that he was so excited that he ignored the actual situation.

He understood that even if he had a treasure like the Tianluo Magic Tool, his current strength was not enough to control it. Therefore, he decided to put the use of the Tianluo Magic Tool aside for the time being, waiting for the day when his strength would be improved and he could truly exert its power.

He quickly adjusted his mentality and shifted his attention to the martial arts he needed to master at the moment - Daluo Tianmo Ying and Dilong Shu. He understood that these two martial arts were equally important to him and could greatly enhance his combat ability.

So Ling Xiao began to calm down, and while recovering his strength, he carefully read the methods of practicing Daluo Tian Mo Ying and Di Long Shu. He read every word carefully, fearing that he would miss any details.

However, as he gradually gained a deeper understanding of the training content of these two martial arts, his brows began to frown.

"As expected of these powerful body movements and magical powers, their cultivation actually requires specific prerequisites to be met." Ling Xiao sighed in his heart, and gained a deeper understanding of the difficulty of practicing these two skills.

He first paid attention to the training condition of Daluo Tianmo Ying - the feather of "Daluo Demon Eagle". Although only one feather was needed, this put him in a dilemma. He had lived in the Northern Frontier for so many years, but had never heard of this mysterious demon eagle. Even after coming to the Southern Region for so long, there was still no news about the Daluo Demon Eagle.

"I don't know how to use this thing." Ling Xiao felt helpless, as if an invisible threshold blocked his way forward. He knew very well that without this feather, he would not be able to practice the Daluotian Demon Shadow, which made him feel a little frustrated.

Faced with such a dilemma, Ling Xiao could only choose to temporarily give up the practice of Daluo Tian Mo Ying and place his hopes on Di Long Shu instead. In comparison, the promotion conditions of Di Long Shu did not seem so harsh.

Just by absorbing the energy of the black-horned dragon's clone, you can improve the level of your Earth Dragon Technique practice.

This gave him a glimmer of hope. After all, the energy of the Black Horned Demon Dragon was much easier to obtain than the mysterious and hard-to-find Daluo Demon Eagle Feather. Ling Xiao decided to start with the Earth Dragon Technique and gradually improve his strength.

Ling Xiao had just experienced a fierce battle and successfully killed a black-horned dragon clone. The majestic energy was exactly what he needed to practice the Earth Dragon Technique. He started practicing without hesitation, ready to use this energy for his own benefit.

As the energy of the Black Horned Demon Dragon poured in, Ling Xiao's body seemed to have turned into a huge container, carrying this powerful force. At that moment, he felt an unprecedented sense of oppression, as if a flood-like force was madly impacting his meridians.

His meridians continued to expand under the impact of energy, as if they would burst at any time.

"Hold on! Use the Earth Dragon Technique to expand your meridians! Don't faint, or you will die!" The voice of the Demon Soul King sounded in Ling Xiao's ears, with a hint of anxiety and tension. He knew that Ling Xiao was at a critical turning point at the moment. If he failed, the consequences would be disastrous.

Ling Xiao gritted his teeth and endured the pain that almost tore him apart. He knew that at this moment, he was devouring the energy of a black-horned dragon equivalent to the first level of Tongtian Realm. This was undoubtedly a huge challenge for him. But he did not retreat, but instead strengthened his belief.
