Chapter 59: Tian Ji! A Humanoid! Terrifying Talent Beyond Peak Silver!!
That young man was not weak. He was already a powerhouse at the Fifth Heaven of the Martial King Realm.
Yet under the relentless pursuit of that black mist, he could not escape at all.
Within the black mist, a youth covered in mysterious patterns stared ahead with an incomparably cold gaze.
“Damn it, who is this guy? He looks like nothing more than a first- or second-year student, so how can he be this strong?”
The young man being hunted was horrified.
Then, out of the corner of his eye, he spotted three figures standing atop the mountain ahead.
His eyes lit up instantly.
“Brothers, save me! Once we get out of here, I’ll reward you handsomely! I’m Zheng Yuntian, the grandson of the governor of Tianyun Province!”
The young man hurriedly shouted toward Xiao Xuan and the other two.
“Hiss... even this guy’s already at the Fifth Heaven of the Martial King Realm, and he’s still being hunted down. Brother Xiao, shouldn’t we run?”
Gu Xuan could not have cared less about the man’s identity as some governor’s grandson.
If they did not run now, they would all die.
The one inside the black mist was none other than Tian Ji.
At this moment, Tian Ji had also spotted Xiao Xuan’s group of three.
“Three more fools have come to throw their lives away! If I devour these four, the level of my Dark Codex will rise quite a bit more!”
A sharp gleam flared endlessly in Tian Ji’s eyes.
Xiao Xuan, however, was already staring straight at Tian Ji. In an instant, he activated the True Eye, directly merging it with his Scavenger Trait.
In the blink of an eye, Tian Ji’s realm, his Traits, and even the general state of his Cultivation Arts were all laid bare before Xiao Xuan’s eyes.
Race: Humanoid (Dark Demon Race)
Realm: Seventh Heaven of the Great Grandmaster Realm
Traits:
【Darkness Control! Gold】 (Controls Dark Power; dark-element power x120)
【Speed Enhancement! Gold】 (Speed x60)
【Strength Enhancement! Silver】 (Strength +3000%)
【Defense Enhancement! Silver】 (Defense +3000%)
【Magic Technique! Purple】 (Dark magic amplification +1500%)
【Aptitude Enhancement! Silver】
【Dark Demon-Devouring Body! Silver】 (A bloodline of the Dark Demon Race. Can strengthen its bloodline by devouring prodigies! Upgrade potential: Gold! Once activated, it can unleash the Dark Demon Body, raising all attributes by 3500%)
Cultivation Art Grade: Eighth Tier (Skilled)
Martial Technique Grade: Eighth Tier (Skilled)
Overall Assessment: An absolutely top-tier existence among High Silver talents! Its combat amplification far surpasses that of an ordinary Peak Silver talent.
If his Gold physical-type trait had been Strength rather than Speed, it would not be an exaggeration to call him a High Gold talent!!
As the prince of the Dark Demon Race, he may possess some special life-saving method! Do not lower your guard!
Looking at all of Tian Ji’s various descriptions, even Xiao Xuan could not help admiring him.
Seventh Heaven of the Great Grandmaster Realm!
And on top of that, he had fully two Gold traits above his head. He even had both burst-type and technique-type amplification.
This talent was already solidly at the burst-power level of a Peak Silver talent.
Only his technique side was a little weaker. Otherwise, he would have been Peak Silver through and through.
At this point, Xiao Xuan felt that the current talent-ranking system was still far from perfect.
In the future, after Tian Ji raised his bloodline talent to Gold, he immediately became a High Gold talent holder.
No wonder he had been so confident he could wipe out the entire human race.
In his previous life, with his strength having plummeted so badly, losing to Tian Ji was not unjust.
Because even if his strength had not collapsed, defeating Tian Ji still would not have been easy.
And Tian Ji had actually cultivated Eighth-Tier Cultivation Arts!
That talent was anything but weak.
But the higher Tian Ji’s talent was, the better.
Right now, that was exactly what Xiao Xuan wanted. The better Tian Ji’s talent, the more his own strength would rise once those Traits fell.
At that thought, he wasted no words.
“Supreme Will, assign points! Raise both my Soul Value and Vitality Value to 100,000!”
He issued the command directly to the Supreme Will within his Sea of Consciousness.
The moment the command was given, Xiao Xuan suddenly reached behind his back and drew.
The Thunderflame Frenzy Saber, now upgraded to low seventh tier, appeared in his hand.
At the same time, the likewise upgraded Silverwing Nanotech Battle Armor directly covered his entire body.
RUMBLE—!!!!!
Amid an earth-shaking peal of thunder, his figure transformed into a streak of silver lightning and shot straight toward Tian Ji!
【Command accepted! Beginning enhancement!!】
At the same time, the notification from the Supreme Will sounded out.
BOOM!!
In an instant, Xiao Xuan’s Vitality Value began soaring wildly.
His Soul Value did the same.
But at that very moment, he had already appeared directly in front of Tian Ji.
“So fast!”
Seeing Xiao Xuan appear so suddenly, Tian Ji’s pupils contracted violently.
Without a word, he abandoned his pursuit of the young man and struck at Xiao Xuan with a single palm.
HUMMMMM!!!
In an instant, accompanied by a terrifying surge of dark power, a gigantic dark palm seal smashed down viciously toward Xiao Xuan.
If that terrifying force had landed on the fleeing youth from before, it would have erased him on the spot!
“You nearly killed me last time. This time, I’ll show you my true strength!”
Xiao Xuan’s gaze turned cold at once.
“Thunder-Punishment Absolute Flame Slash!!”
With a low shout, he swung the Thunderflame Frenzy Saber in his hand and slashed down at the dark palm seal.
In an instant, a silver lightning-and-fire blade radiance hundreds of meters long tore through the air and struck the dark palm seal directly.
The moment they collided, the dark palm seal was split apart on the spot.
Yet the silver lightning-and-fire blade radiance did not weaken in the slightest.
Carrying the aura of death, its overwhelming force came slashing down toward Tian Ji.
“How... how is this possible?!”
Tian Ji’s face changed instantly.
Unblockable. If it hit him, he would definitely die!
That thought flashed through his mind in a single instant.
He wasted no time. He hurriedly pulled out a black crystal from his Storage Ring and crushed it at once.
In the next moment, endless darkness enveloped his whole body.
SHRRAK!!
The silver lightning-and-fire blade radiance engulfed him in the very next instant.
Where that terrifying blade radiance passed, the earth was ripped open into a massive scar dozens of meters wide.
The strike extended several thousand meters into the distance.
Even a mountain standing along its path was split cleanly in two by that single slash.
Behind him, Gu Xuan and Su Qingwu were both so shocked that they stood frozen where they were.
Xiao Xuan’s strength was actually this terrifying.
As for the one calling himself Zheng Yuntian, he had already fled the moment Xiao Xuan made his move.
“As expected of the prince of the Dark Demon Race. He really wasn’t so easy to kill.”
Seeing this, Xiao Xuan let out a cold snort.
But in the next moment, the corners of his mouth rose slightly.
“I refuse to believe you’ve got a whole pile of Teleportation Crystals!”
At that thought, Xiao Xuan instantly activated the Grand Derivation Soul Art.
He was no fool. Knowing full well that Tian Ji might possess life-saving items, there was no way he would attack without preparing a backup.
Before charging over, he had already used the Soul-Marking Method recorded in the peak tenth-tier Grand Derivation Soul Art to lock onto Tian Ji’s soul completely.
