Holy Fist!

Chapter 454 Peak Late Stage, Immortal Robe Perfected!
"Buzzing..."

An unparalleled wave of terror swept outwards, like ripples that have been spreading for millions of years, extending inch by inch from the deep world into the real world in a staircase-like pattern. At first glance, it looked like a river of hell descending from the depths of the underworld, its deadly waters flowing with countless demons, monsters, and yakshas.

Forbidden secret weapon, the Yellow Springs Demon Scroll!
This secret weapon is both a spiritual secret weapon and a terrifying secret weapon.

After all, the Asura Diagram and the Ten Directions Purgatory, which served as fusion materials, were both secret weapons of fear. What Bai Xiao ultimately obtained was naturally related to fear.

"call……"

He slowly exhaled a breath of hot air, his attention suddenly focusing.

"Let me see how effective you are."

As always, the Yellow Springs Scroll has three magical effects.

First, the evil spirits.

In hell, on the banks of the Yellow Springs, countless evil spirits roam. The spiritual will attribute of a cultivator of the Yellow Springs Demon Scroll determines the specific effect of this ability. The higher Bai Xiao's spiritual will attribute, the more evil spirits he can summon. Entangled by these evil spirits, he becomes immune to all magic; anyone attempting to influence or attack his spiritual will must first pass through the evil spirits of the Yellow Springs Demon Scroll. They are scapegoats, helping Bai Xiao withstand all spiritual attacks.

Including fear!

After the demons have exhausted their resources, they need some time to replenish themselves.

Bai Xiao sensed it briefly and was shocked to discover that with his spiritual will attribute, he was able to summon tens of thousands of evil spirits from the Yellow Springs of Hell.

In other words, there are ten thousand scapegoats before one's own will!

He took a deep breath, realizing how important this ability was, especially in defending against the Demon Bird's Secret Manual. It was far more useful than simple offensive methods.

Second, the Heavenly Demon Scroll.

This is the passive effect of the Yellow Springs Scroll, and also the ability most deeply influenced by Bai Xiao's extraordinary wisdom, as well as the direction of his greatest aspiration for advancement.

The power of the Heavenly Demon Scroll is very simple.

It can absorb and devour any energy related to mental will!

However, the specific effects of the Heavenly Demon Scroll will vary depending on the strength and stubbornness of the spiritual energy, resulting in different absorption and devouring speeds.

At the same time, this passive effect also signifies that the Yellow Springs Scroll possesses the ability to continuously grow. As long as Bai Xiao can absorb enough spiritual energy and develop the Yellow Springs Scroll powerful enough, it might even pose a threat to…

The Three Pillars of Fear?

Third, the Yellow Springs flow backward.

When the Yellow Springs Scroll enters the Yellow Springs Reversal state, your enemies will suffer a forbidden-level mental shock, becoming confused and disoriented, their senses reversing. Even grandmasters may experience a disruptive effect due to their own forbidden martial arts techniques. For a short period, they will be unable to activate forbidden techniques or unleash their trump cards.

Even, in a very small probability, the forbidden martial art may backfire on the cultivator, causing the Grandmaster and the forbidden martial art he cultivates to become locked in internal conflict and fight against each other.

When Bai Xiao saw this, his eyes lit up.

"What a magnificent reverse flow of the Yellow Springs!"

"I have plenty of forbidden effects that enhance my own abilities. But those that can be applied to others are extremely rare. The Yellow Springs Reversal can even cause a Grandmaster's existence and their own forbidden martial arts to temporarily lose connection..."

"It's an extremely powerful ability."

He didn't expect the forbidden martial arts to backfire on a Grandmaster, as that was an extremely low probability event. However, temporarily preventing a Grandmaster from using the forbidden martial arts was already a very practical and important effect, its function being top-notch.

In the pool, on the lotus platform.

Bai Xiao's eyes shone brightly, his pupils seemingly harboring thousands of ferocious demons and monsters, grotesque, bloodthirsty, cruel, and tyrannical. The invisible, icy waters of the Yellow Springs, carrying death and shrouded in fear, constantly swirled around his body.

"call!"

He slowly rose and exhaled a stream of air that meandered like a white python.

His eyes shone with an intense, blazing light.

"The Dragon Elephant True Scripture, the Kunpeng Devouring Dragon Diagram, the Flying Immortal Scripture, the Yellow Court Scripture, and the Yellow Springs Demon Scroll—there are five major paths in martial arts: external training, offensive techniques, lightness skills, secret arts, and spiritual cultivation. I have now mastered all of their forbidden secret martial arts..."

Bai Xiao sighed slightly, a surge of heroic spirit rising in his chest.

"Now, I have everything I need!"

He burst into laughter, and with a light tap of his toes, he soared into the air like a whirlwind, appearing at the summit of Elephant Mountain at an incredible speed.

……

At the summit, atop a giant rock.

Bai Xiao sat cross-legged, the contents of the Water and Fire Immortal Robe appearing in his mind.

The water and fire fairy robes are the icing on the cake.

This would allow him to reach an even higher level in his strongest aspect. The Dragon Elephant True Scripture is an internal cultivation technique, while the Water and Fire Immortal Robe is an external cultivation technique. Combining the two will undoubtedly produce incredible results. However, the potential points required to elevate a forbidden secret martial art to its perfect level would be unimaginably enormous.

If it weren't for the Forbidden King's enhancement, and if one could only possess one Forbidden Secret Weapon across the five categories, Bai Xiao would definitely choose to fuse another Forbidden Secret Weapon for external training, which would be both economical and reassuring.

"let's start……"

He sat high in the air, the wind and waves ruffling his training clothes.

Bai Xiao took a deep breath and his mind raced.

"Dark red!"

Suddenly, a crimson glow of sunset appeared in our field of vision.

[Skill: Beginner Water and Fire Fairy Robe (1/2000)] +
"promote!"

In an instant, a mysterious power descended, enveloping the entire Martial Arts main profession. A massive amount of potential points poured in, transforming into unimaginable experience points, surging into the Water and Fire Immortal Robe like a mighty river.

"Boom boom boom..."

The secret martial arts world is undergoing a tremendous change; the realms within it are rapidly advancing.

The commotion caused by Bai Xiao's cultivation and enhancement of the Water and Fire Immortal Robe was even greater than he had imagined. Across the entire summit of Elephant Mountain, a pair of red and blue Water and Fire wings swept across like a giant wave, traversing vast stretches of forest.

On one side, the temperature soared, becoming unbearably hot, like a tropical rainforest. On the other side, the temperature plummeted, becoming bone-chillingly cold, like an ice field or pine forest.

Above the sky, the clouds began to converge and change, turning into vortexes.

One black and one white, intertwined.

Time passed slowly, and Dark Red Modifier lost a large number of potential points.

A few minutes later.

Bai Xiao slowly opened his eyes, and a black message fell down in front of him.

[Your profession "Martial Arts Master" has been upgraded to +4260 experience!]

[Your skill "Water and Fire Celestial Robe" has gained 49700 experience!]

Your skill "Water and Fire Celestial Robes Beginner" has been upgraded to "Perfect"!

It took nearly 50,000 experience points to upgrade the Forbidden Secret Weapon, the Water and Fire Immortal Robe, to its perfect state. In that moment, Bai Xiao had spent almost 1,000 potential points. This Forbidden Secret Weapon was simply a bottomless money-devouring beast.

Sight ahead.

[Dark Red Modifier]

Potential point: August 459.8

Bai Xiao felt a slight pang of regret and took a deep breath.

【Profession: Martial Arts Master LV.3 (15230/16000)】

"Just a hair's breadth away, it was within reach."

The next second, as his thoughts drifted, Bai Xiao's blood and qi surged like a giant furnace, the immense energy within roaring like dozens of raging dragons, rampaging wildly. Beneath his skin, the power surged violently, tearing apart his flesh.

Even someone with his physique had slight bleeding from his skin pores.

If it were an ordinary peak-level martial arts master, they would probably be forced to explode by the sudden upgrade of the Water and Fire Immortal Robe Secret Weapon. It's only because Bai Xiao has the Dragon Elephant True Scripture to protect him that he can upgrade without restraint.

"Boom..." His breathing was like thunder and lightning, swirling up the remaining clouds.

Blood mist billowed from his body, and terrifying power flickered like lightning and flames, as if he were constantly unleashing a top-tier secret martial art, Thunderfire Incineration. The boulder he was sitting on could not withstand the force and shattered on the spot.

Bai Xiao tightly closed his eyes, feeling as if two opposing forces were surging within his body—one like molten lava, the other like icy frost—occupying both sides of his form, fiercely attacking and colliding with each other. This state lasted for a long time, finally reaching a balance at some point.

Complete silence descends, and we become one with each other.

At this very moment, at the summit of the mountain.

The white owl's left side was ablaze with fiery red flames, while its right side was chilled by frost, faintly forming solid ice. Simultaneously, this eerie scene appeared throughout the entire Elephant Mountain range, though its influence diminished considerably with distance.

The temperature difference is huge, the heat is intense, and the frost is flying everywhere.

"Hey!"

Mount Qunxiang.

Bai Xiao suddenly opened his eyes and took a deep breath.

Instantly, forbidden forces from all directions surged into his body like a raging tide. The spreading high temperature and the unrestrained wind and snow were all absorbed by Bai Xiao and transformed into part of the Water and Fire Immortal Robe.

He slowly stood up and moved his body slightly.

A series of crisp sounds suddenly erupted from between the bones, like beans popping open. An incomparably powerful feeling surged forth inch by inch.

Bai Xiao stood atop the mountain, his hands behind his back, braving the fierce wind.

Forbidden secret weapon, Water and Fire Immortal Robe, all effects are clear to me.

Its various abilities are extremely concise, designed solely for defense.

First, the Magic Water Robe.

Physical resistance doubled.

All weapons, whether sharp, blunt, or fists and feet, will deal half the damage to you. This includes the impact and cutting force applied by the weapon.

Second, the Divine Fire Robe.

Magic resistance doubled.

All attacks, whether energy, sword energy, or force, will deal half damage to you. This includes attacks from sects like Thunder and Netherworld Sect.

Third, the immortal robes possessed him.

For a short period of time, your physical attributes will double.

Furthermore, during this period, any attacks the enemy makes against you will bounce back to them, causing the same damage they intended to inflict on you.

Bai Xiao glanced at them and took a deep breath.

The Water and Fire Immortal Robe's effects are simple, powerful, and straightforward.

It's just about stacking numbers, but it's absolutely useful, and extremely useful!
The effects of the Demon Water Robe and Divine Fire Robe alone are enough to make it worthwhile. It's equivalent to halving the destructive power of any attack Bai Xiao receives, regardless of its type. Furthermore, the Celestial Robe's possession state further amplifies all of Bai Xiao's defensive capabilities. This is because the power of various secret martial arts is determined by the cultivator's own four-dimensional attributes. If Bai Xiao's physical attributes were to jump from 270 to 540, the effect would be unimaginable.

Furthermore, the fairy robes reflect damage.

The enemy's fatal blow to White Owl will become a fatal blow to himself!

"The Water and Fire Immortal Robe is truly worthy of being the champion's reward in the Martial Arts Tournament."

"Indeed qualified."

A slight smile played on his lips; he felt incredibly happy.

In a short period of time, he once again possessed two forbidden secret weapons!
Bai Xiao's mind was clear, and he felt joy in his heart. His aura and power involuntarily began to circulate, like terrifying storms sweeping through every corner of his body. His martial will poured out in full force, with terrifying beings protecting and surrounding him, releasing an unimaginable aura of terror.

It's as if they can sweep across the world and roam the void!
"Boom!"

Bai Xiao was already just one step away from the late stage of the peak, and now that he has mastered two forbidden secret martial arts, it's only natural that things will fall into place!

"Bang!!!"

A thought breaks through!
His aura suddenly surged, stirring up the wind and clouds, as if he could single-handedly influence the weather conditions of an area surrounding Qunxiang Mountain.

Trees swayed, and wild beasts fell to the ground.

With a single step, Bai Xiao revealed his terrifying power.

Peak build, late game!

……

Half an hour later.

The Dragon Elephant Martial Arts School, in its quiet courtyard.

Bai Xiao stood alone, silently sensing the changes brought about by the breakthrough in his cultivation level.

"I was surprised that he broke through to the late stage of the peak ahead of schedule."

"However, the work that needs to be done must continue!"

His eyes were bright and piercing.

Because of one's own cultivation level, one can further improve.

"Seize the forbidden life force and obtain the creation of heaven and earth!"

In an instant, Bai Xiao unleashed the two forbidden martial arts techniques he had just acquired—the Water and Fire Immortal Robe and the Yellow Spring Demon Scroll—to their full potential, his entire body surging with a platinum-gold aura. In a flash, the Water and Fire Immortal Robe transformed into a powerful protective garment, providing terrifying defense. The Yellow Spring Demon Scroll, meanwhile, became a river of deathly terror.

He took a deep breath, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes.

"Boom!!!"

The Grandmaster's foundation, that towering tree, its dense root system spread through the void before firmly embedding itself into the two forbidden secret martial arts.

All resistance was forcefully suppressed by Bai Xiao.

This includes the Water and Fire Immortal Robe, which he did not create through fusion.

After all, the five forbidden martial arts techniques could easily suppress one of your techniques!
About twenty minutes later.

The process is over, the forbidden road is easily taken.

"Crackling..."

At the dantian, a sound like a sudden clap of thunder was born.

The towering tree, representing the foundation of a grandmaster, actually began to grow again under the full nourishment of the two forbidden martial arts techniques. A continuous stream of boundless vitality poured into it, and mysterious forbidden power transformed into nutrients. It felt like bamboo shoots sprouting after a spring rain, growing overnight at an unbelievable speed.

A few breaths passed.

On the ancient, platinum-gold tree, six fruits hung heavily. Each fruit carried an aura of mystery and profound mystery.

In addition to the original four, two more were added.

A black and white symbol, embodying countless tiny, terrifying patterns.

A red and blue color, incompatible like water and fire, half blazing hot and half icy cold.

"call!"

White Owl exhaled a long, scorching breath.

He sensed that his cultivation, which had just entered the late stage of the peak realm, was rising again, as if he had been pushed forward by two giant hands, rushing into the distance. At this moment, Bai Xiao seemed to have been immersed in the late stage of the peak realm for many years, having traveled a long distance, his light boat having already passed ten thousand mountains.

"Accumulate knowledge and experience, then unleash your potential and soar to new heights!"

These two words inexplicably came to his mind, and he looked ahead with deep eyes.

The terrifying improvement in the four-dimensional attributes has finally been revealed!
