Chapter 978: Chapter 978 Sky-swallowing Behemoth

"Boom!"

The moment the Light and Shadow Battle Armor cracked, a terrorizing energy burst from Ling Xiao’s body.

An ultimate, dread-inspiring image of destruction had merged with Ling Xiao’s very essence.

Behind Ling Xiao, a monstrous shadow faintly appeared, unclear to others, but Ling Xiao understood.

He had succeeded—the perfect fusion of the Golden Crow Eclipse and the Void Shadow Crocodile had given birth to the horrifying Sky-swallowing Behemoth, Tao Tie!

Golden hair fluttered wildly.

Light radiated in all directions.

The roaring of the giant beast echoed from behind.

At this moment, Ling Xiao had not only crushed the Blood Skeleton’s attack but also elevated his cultivation level to a terrifying stage—Early Stage of Five Elements Heaven!

He had directly broken through from the Early Four-Phenomenon Realm to the Early Stage of Five Elements Heaven.

He had completely skipped the intermediate process!

"What’s happening here?"

"His cultivation level broke through? And directly to the Five Elements Sky Cultivation Level?"

"How is this possible? I’ve never seen anything like it!"

"What do you call a genius? This is a genius!"

"And what’s with that terrifying roar from the beast that makes one’s heart tremble?"

People watched Ling Xiao in astonishment; the scene before them was overwhelmingly shocking.

The aura emanating from Ling Xiao was definitely of the Five Elements Sky Cultivation Level, not the Four Symbols Heavenly Realm!

More terrifying was the eerie roar of the giant beast, which made everyone shiver and panic upon hearing it.

What on earth had Ling Xiao done?

How had he broken through in the midst of battle?

No one could answer this question.

Even Ling Xiao himself was somewhat puzzled.

Since ancient times, no one had completely figured out the mysteries of cultivation, regardless of race. Cultivation was always like feeling one’s way across a river by groping for stones.

What is right?

What is wrong?

What is the correct path of cultivation?

One could only judge by limited experience.

However, in reality, the ’correct’ experience might become entirely inappropriate in a different environment.

The Blood Skeleton was forcefully shaken back by the fierce power, and if not for the White Bone Cage, he might have been blasted off the Martial Arts Platform again.

A look of extreme terror was written all over his face.

No one could understand the fear in his heart; standing in front of him seemed not to be a man but a giant beast capable of swallowing the sky.

Rumors had circulated that in the Ancient Era, a Sky-swallowing Behemoth had once passed through the Mysterious World, capable of devouring a planet in one gulp.

The ancients called it "Tao Tie," but its true form had never been seen.

Yet that fear had been passed down through generations.

The Blood Skeleton had also read about it in books and hadn’t taken it seriously, thinking the ancients had exaggerated. How could such a creature exist in this world?

But now, he realized that the ancient fear was neither exaggerated nor forgotten due to the passage of time; it had only been understated.

Others couldn’t see the Tao Tie clearly.

Neither could the Blood Skeleton. What he could see was only a gigantic maw, like a black hole, seemingly capable of devouring everything.

He felt his very soul trembling.

Even with the effect of the Frenzy Pill, he still didn’t dare to approach for battle, nor even to stand up.

"Are you scared?"

Ling Xiao looked at the Blood Skeleton, and with a slight wave of his right hand, the White Bone Cage disintegrated.

Others could not see, but the Blood Skeleton could see his White Bone Cage being devoured by the giant beast in a single bite.

"I surrender!"

The Blood Skeleton had completely lost the courage to fight; he did not want to continue any longer, he could even foresee his own death.

"Surrender?"

Ling Xiao sneered coldly, "You are smart, indeed, knowing you can’t win and choosing to surrender. When I was at a disadvantage just now, you didn’t think about sparing my life. Now, you actually try to save your life by surrendering?

Don’t forget, this is a battle to the death!"

"Blood Skeleton, stand up! You are now at the Six Arts Heavenly Realm Cultivation Level, don’t be frightened by his momentum; it’s merely terrifying on the surface!"

Si Kong Zun shouted loudly.

The Blood Skeleton was stunned for a moment, a gleam of light flickered in his eyes, then it dimmed completely.

"No, Vice President, you don’t understand, you really don’t understand!"

The Blood Skeleton shook his head, at this moment, Ling Xiao simply could not be measured by Cultivation Level, this terrifying pressure was even more fearsome than many Cave Heaven Realm powerhouses.

When he faced Martial Artists from the Cave Heaven Realm, he was not so desperate; even if he couldn’t beat them, he could run away.

But at this moment, he didn’t even have the thought of escaping.

"Hmph, it seems we can only resort to the last resort, this waste!"

Si Kong Zun gave a cold snort, thinking inwardly.

Then, a beam of light suddenly shot out from the center of his brow, moving so fast that most people didn’t notice.

This light beam entered the center of the Blood Skeleton’s brow.

In that instant, the Blood Skeleton lost his self-awareness.

His eyes emitted a red glow, completely controlled by Si Kong Zun.

Si Kong Zun’s actions naturally didn’t escape Ling Xiao’s eyes.

This old guy, really shameless.

Under the control of Si Kong Zun, Blood Skeleton no longer had any fear and madly launched an attack on Ling Xiao.

"Well, if you really had no power to fight back, I would genuinely feel reluctant to kill you, but now, I do not need to show any mercy!"

Ling Xiao sighed but did not draw his sword.

He could sense the terrifying power of the next move, even if it was merely executed with his finger as a sword, it would easily kill the Blood Skeleton.

The gigantic shadow shifted from behind him to his right-hand finger sword.

Heavenly Origin Power constantly gathered, making the image of the giant beast increasingly clear.

It was a beast of destruction.

It was a beast that devoured everything.

Although it wasn’t real, it still possessed an extremely fierce aura.

"Tao Tie!"

"Sky-swallowing Behemoth!"

Numerous people exclaimed; they couldn’t understand how Ling Xiao could control such a terrifying thing.

Rumors had it that even the King of People could not contend with the Gluttonous Beast — how could Ling Xiao, a mere Martial Artist with Five Elements Sky Cultivation Level, possibly contest it?

"No, no, that’s not the Gluttonous Beast, it must be a special Martial Skill that can condense the image and aura of the Gluttonous Beast."

A Martial Artist with keen eyesight finally understood the trick.

"But even so, this feels too real, that evil, terrifying aura, it’s just like the real Gluttonous Beast has descended, what Martial Arts has this guy cultivated?"

"I don’t know."

"It’s strange, up to now, no one has ever seen him unleash his Martial Soul. What exactly is his Martial Soul?"

"Is it not that giant eye?"

People discussed fervently but still could not see through Ling Xiao’s true nature.

Even those closest to Ling Xiao didn’t understand what Martial Arts he possessed, what kind of Martial Soul he had.

Ling Xiao felt a deep emotion in his heart, although because of the low level of his cultivation, the Gluttonous Beast he condensed was still in its infancy, both in terms of aura and power it was vastly inferior to a real Gluttonous Beast, not at the same level at all.
