C234 Body of the Celestial Spirit
Xia Ling, who was reciting those cultivation techniques and memorizing them in the spherical underground space, also felt this violent fluctuation.
The all-out attack of a Essencial Core Rank cultivator could be said to be extremely terrifying. This kind of cultivator had already reached the peak of conventional strength, using his own strength to change the heavens and earth, reaching an earth-shattering might!
This was something that no other cultivator under the Essencial Core Rank could compare to!
Xia Ling had originally been memorizing the [Devil Descent], the highest cultivation technique in the entire Dark Demon Domain. Just by reading it, he was able to make people feel sinister and tyrannical!
Even if it was Xia Ling's words, it would be hard to recite them in a short period of time.
At this moment, there was a loud rumbling sound as if the sphere space was violently shaking! The pressure brought by the upper level, the huge steel pillar that was pressing down on the spherical space, and even the gigantic cylinder began to tremble!
The metal structures pressed against each other, emitting a loud, ear-piercing sound!
The shaking in this space almost made Xia Ling lose his balance. He steadied himself with one hand on the wall.
The corner of Xia Ling's mouth curled up into a smile. He couldn't bear it anymore, right?
If one were to open up this underground space just like that, the number of Genuine Qi that would be consumed would reach quite a high level. Even if it was a cultivator from the Essencial Core Rank, it was impossible for them to recover in a short period of time.
Moreover, after Xia Ling read "Demonic Descent", even if they were to fight, they might not lose to Cao Ba!
Su Anshan's cultivation technique was originally developed from a secret manual that was left behind in the mountain by Dark Demon Domain. However, those secret scriptures were not the same as the real [Demon Descent] in the room where Xia Ling currently resided.
[Sky Devil Descent] was an internal technique of the highest level in Dark Demon Domain. It had an overwhelming advantage over other internal techniques of this type. And facing Su Anshan's cultivation method that was extended from his low level Dark Demon Domain,
He had no idea how much it was worth.
Even if Xia Ling didn't actually train [Demonic Descent], he had only read it carefully. With his understanding, it was enough to establish his understanding of this type of cultivation method.
With Xia Ling's unparalleled understanding of martial arts, he could even break Cao Ba's move in an instant!
If a cultivator's own techniques were to be directly dismantled by his opponent in a battle, then even if he had the advantage of strength and speed, he would still inevitably be at a disadvantage!
Of course, Xia Ling was also very clear that with his current strength, wanting to completely defeat a cultivator with Essencial Core Rank was almost impossible.
Under the Essencial Core Rank, the number of people who could beat him in a serious battle would probably be very few. However, the moment he stepped into the Essencial Core Rank and used all of his skills, it might give his opponent a chance to live.
But no matter, Xia Ling did not intend to defeat Cao Ba here. He only needed to calmly escape.
With Cao Ba opening the Genuine Qi consumed in this underground space, it would definitely affect the performance of this old man. When the time came, it would not be an easy thing to stop Xia Ling.
However, he had to speed up now. Xia Ling put the [Demon Descends] back into the cabinet and then turned around to another room.
Xia Ling had already read all the books in this room. Most of them were sect history which introduced Dark Demon Domain, as well as the composition of the cultivation techniques. A sect's cultivation technique was often very complicated. It was not something that could be described with just one or two secret manuals. One also needed to design the overall concept and context.
The same thing happened in the other rooms.
It wasn't until Xia Ling pushed open the door of another room that the layout inside started to change.
This room also had a cabinet, but there were only two. They stood on two sides of the room. In the center of the room, there was a huge ice coffin.
This ice coffin was long, and under the dim light, it gave off a cold aura, as if even the air was covered in a layer of frost. It was much larger than a normal coffin.
In such an environment, for a coffin to appear would undoubtedly cause one's heart to skip a beat.
However, Xia Ling did not have a similar reaction. Even under the pressure of time, he did not have the time to be courteous with the dead. He strode forward and used the Genuine Qi to illuminate the ice coffin.
The person lying inside was an extremely tall and mature man.
Xia Ling saw this person's height and understood why the ice coffin in front of him was set to such an exaggerated length.0
The corpse was way too high up in the sky. Judging by the rough estimate, it should be around three meters high.
Xia Ling had also met some cultivators who specialized in external cultivation. These cultivators would usually have thick bodies and a growing skeleton. He would be taller than others as well.
However, very few would be able to reach a height of three meters!
Moreover, this person's four limbs and body were especially harmonious and symmetrical, as if every inch of his body was polished by a top-notch craftsman. Muscles are full but not heavy, and bones are strong but not rigid. Even the strongest outer force cultivator could not afford this.
But the master of this body had, without question, been dead for ten thousand years. However, as he laid in this ice coffin, it seemed as if the various auras in his body were still active.
Xia Ling's expression slowly turned serious. Only a high level cultivator would be able to achieve such a state — his body would not rot for tens of thousands of years!
Xia Ling had a faint thought. He seemed to have guessed that the owner of this body used to be.
He continued to walk forward and casually opened the cabinet beside him. He took out the first book from the top drawer. He then quickly browsed through them.
As expected, Xia Ling saw a very important piece of information.
"... This was the corpse of a cultivator, and he had to use the most appropriate method to seal it with Dark Demon Domain. It's from the Great War, a mysterious organization called the 'Celestial Spirit' … "
This was truly the corpse of an ancient cultivator, and it was also the "immortal spirit" that was so elusive!
Xia Ling revealed an extremely rare feeling of excitement in his heart. Ever since he stepped on Sword Emperor, it was rare for him to have such a feeling anymore.
This was the excitement that came from the depths of his heart as a cultivator after meeting an opponent!
Xia Ling continued to read.
After skipping over a series of news that Xia Ling already knew, another important piece of information appeared in the literature:
"My Dark Demon Domain will not be able to withstand the powerful attacks of the 'Celestial Spirit' for a short period of time. The other so-called righteous sects are refusing to help our sect because of the estrangement between the righteous and the evil … "
These documents should be the records of the Dark Demon Domain, so their contents were serious and pertinent, and they did not reveal much of an emotional fluctuation, nor any unrelated words. However, Xia Ling still felt endless grief and despair from the cold brush strokes!
