Holy Fist!

Chapter 474 Spirit Surges, Dragon and Elephant Battle Crane Immortal!

"it is good."

"Go back."

Bai Xiao slowly rose, dismissed his disciples, and stood quietly in the courtyard.

His thoughts seemed to still be lingering on the terrifying nightmare, his eyes empty and distant. It took Bai Xiao a full five minutes to gradually come back to his senses.

The thought flashed.

Three items exuding a mysterious aura landed on the ground.

The Stone of Calamity, the Compass of Stars, the Well of the Void.

The Lord of the Beidou Temple told Bai Xiao how to activate it: in addition to these three items, he also needed sufficiently powerful and refined energy as fuel.

They were once activated by burning the nightmare-level beings they had killed.

Therefore, Bai Xiao's side naturally needs to be at the Grandmaster level.

"It takes the combined power of several grandmasters as torches to break through the world barrier, enter the void, and transmit information to the unknown."

His eyes flickered slightly as he thought to himself.

"despair."

With a thought, Bai Xiao lightly touched the ground with his toes and soared into the sky, instantly transforming into a white-gold meteor that landed in the Enlightenment Courtyard of Qunxiang Mountain.

The three treasures, especially the Well of the Void, were fixed in the center of an empty courtyard by special means, exuding a mysterious aura.

After a brief pause, he turned and left.

On the island in the pool, beneath the Enlightenment Tree.

Bai Xiao suddenly appeared, sitting cross-legged. As his breathing quickly calmed down, he adjusted to his optimal state and slowly opened his eyes.

"The Scroll of the Underworld".

Bai Xiao gave a soft shout.

Instantly, a surging aura of fear, like layers upon layers of roaring waves, spread out from all directions, enveloping half of the Elephant Mountain.

Black energy surged, and blood-red light flickered.

Vaguely, a pale yellow, icy river seemed to flow from the depths of the void, meandering like an ancient serpent towards an unknown end. In the Yellow Springs, tens of thousands of scapegoats floated, constantly drifting with the current. Besides them, countless terrifying creatures flowed within. Their bodies were covered in yellow spots, dull and hollow, like puppets, two mysterious forces of terror locked in a struggle of attrition.

Just a glance.

There are even colossal, terrifying creatures with the aura of a master of a peak sect.

"The three pillars of fear originate from the same source."

"The power of fear can devour and encroach upon each other; no wonder the Demon Bird and the Terror Emperor among the Three Pillars of Fear are in a state of irreconcilable hostility..."

Bai Xiao muttered to himself, his eyes flashing slightly.

"My forbidden weapon of fear, the Yellow Springs Scroll, was enhanced through the 'All Rivers Run into the Ocean, Furnace of Heaven and Earth,' essentially a cheat code. It is a completely new power of fear, unlike anything ever born before, unlike the Demon Bird or the Terror Emperor!"

"Those of such high rank are naturally able to seize the power of fear."

The more he studied it, the more excited he became.

Unexpectedly, the Fear Weapon he created to avoid the influence of the Demon Bird Codex inadvertently opened up a new path.

The Yellow Springs Scroll may one day be qualified to compete with the Demon Bird and the Terror Emperor!
"By the way, You Tian's spirit mask."

Bai Xiao suddenly remembered what he had kept from the battle at the martial arts tournament.

He raised his right hand.

Suddenly, a ferocious mask with a blue face and fangs flew over and hovered in mid-air. Under the sunlight, its mithril silver color rippled slightly.

Within this spiritual mask lies You Tian, ​​the third seat of the Court of Evil Spirits, who returned from the void. Most of his spiritual will and power have been sealed here by the world.

After acquiring the Yellow Springs Scroll, Bai Xiao initially intended to study the Spirit Mask to see if he could absorb its power. However, after experimenting, he discovered that the Spirit Mask possessed forbidden protective power. While the Yellow Springs Scroll's Heavenly Demon Scroll effect could absorb and devour any energy related to mental will, it couldn't break through the outer shell.

Only by continuously using spiritual power can we attack and wear them down.

"The offensive power of the Yellow Springs Scroll is indeed a bit lacking."

Bai Xiao thought to himself.

His gaze suddenly shifted, fixed on the captured, terrifying creatures in the Yellow Springs River, and a bold, strange idea suddenly popped into his mind.

"Perhaps I can try to control these terrifying creatures..."

"The forbidden power to erode the mask of the spirit."

Just do it.

With a thought, Bai Xiao pointed a single finger, and an endless Yellow Spring River surged forth from the void, fiercely washing over the spiritual mask.

However, the river was rushing, and the effect was slow.

Until the first terrifying creature, controlled and carried by the White Owl, crashed into the forbidden power protecting the Spirit Mask. With a deafening roar, the terrifying creature exploded instantly, a cloud of black, terrifying mist burning and annihilating the forbidden power in a flash. His eyes lit up; the effect was remarkable.

"continue."

"Crash..."

"Rumble..."

The Yellow Springs River, carrying hordes of terrifying creatures, crashed into the mental mask. The exploding fog of fear frantically annihilated the forbidden power within the mask. The terrifying creatures captured by Bai Xiao were used as human bombs to blast open the mask's seal, revealing their true nature.

Time passed slowly, and half of the Elephant Mountain was shrouded in black mist.

Finally, as the colossal, terrifying creature, comparable to a peak-level sect master, collided with the barrier, a crack appeared in the forbidden power's protective barrier. White Owl moved with incredible speed, instantly unleashing the Yellow Springs Scroll to sweep across the area.

"Crash la la la..."

In an instant, a portion of You Tian's original spiritual will was brought out from within the spiritual mask. The Heavenly Demon Scroll effect of the Yellow Spring Demon Scroll activated rapidly, frantically assimilating and absorbing this power, converting it into its own might.

Their greedy and thirsty appearance was like that of a starving ghost who had been starving for a thousand years.

This situation lasted for about ten seconds.

The forbidden power protecting the spiritual mask quickly gathered, and the trickle that had been flowing from the newly healed crack instantly disappeared.

Bai Xiao raised an eyebrow, a thought flashing through his mind.

In the Yellow Springs River, the second and last super-giant fearsome creature of peak sect master level that he had captured charged forward.

Boom!
The crack in the spiritual mask reappeared, and the source of power continued to drain away.

Bai Xiao's Yellow Springs Demon Scroll, however, seemed to be enjoying an unprecedented feast, frantically absorbing its essence and eating until its mouth was greasy.

Ten seconds later.

The crack healed for the second time.

The once numerous terrifying creatures in the Yellow Springs River were now few in number. With a thought, Bai Xiao quickly withdrew the power of the Yellow Springs Demon Scroll.

He took a deep breath and gazed quietly ahead.

The job panel popped up.

[Willpower: 423.3 → 459.9]

The value is +36.6.

His Spiritual Will attribute has surged by over thirty points. It has also become the highest attribute on Bai Xiao's current four-dimensional stat panel. His previously highest Physical attribute, at 457 points, has now become second.

"My mental and willpower attributes have increased by almost one-tenth overall."

He muttered to himself, exhaling a breath of hot air.

At this moment, Bai Xiao's eyes were bright and piercing. He was full of energy and his senses were incredibly sharp, able to detect things several kilometers away.

"Crash la la la..."

Within the Yellow Springs Demon Scroll, the original tens of thousands of evil spirits were instantly replenished, reaching the original limit of 15,000. The next second, the limit was broken, and the number began to surge, reaching 20,000 in a short time. With a crack, as if breaking through a bottleneck, the power of the Yellow Springs Demon Scroll underwent a subtle transformation.

Bai Xiao's mind stirred.

Within the Yellow Springs, the 20,000 evil spirits instantly split into two groups, left and right. The 10,000 evil spirits on the left rapidly merged, expanding wildly until they transformed into a terrifying Yellow Springs Demon. It had three heads and six arms, wielding a steel fork, with a blue face and fangs, radiating an aura of extreme terror.

It possesses astonishing mental attack power!
The ten thousand evil spirits on the right also merged, transforming into a gigantic Yellow Spring Demon wielding a dark black shield, possessing unimaginable mental defense. Any mental attack targeting Bai Xiao, even the simplest wave of killing intent or intimidating aura, would be blocked by this heavy shield.

Fork Demon, Shield Demon.

Bai Xiao gave these two names.

The original 20,000 demons have turned into two fear demons.

One is primarily offensive, the other primarily defensive.

He could sense that once these two demons were controlled, even a master-level opponent would be affected; it was a powerful mental technique.

"good."

Bai Xiao nodded slightly.

"However, for some reason, I always felt that these two demons were somewhat like those terrifying creatures in the mist I encountered in my nightmares..."

He squinted, seemingly lost in thought.

five minutes later.

Bai Xiao snapped out of his daze and glanced down at the mental mask in his hand.

Two cracks running from side to side appeared on the outline of the blue-faced, fanged demon, seemingly the result of the two tears that had been made earlier.

"While I'm tearing apart the forbidden power of the spiritual mask, I'm also tearing apart the seal. If this happens a few more times, the seal might be broken, and You Tian's spiritual will could return. But it doesn't matter; by then, its spiritual essence will probably have been greatly weakened by what I've absorbed..."

Bai Xiao removed his mental mask and looked ahead again.

Suddenly, the class panel of the King of Secret Weapons appeared in my sight.

【Class: King of Secret Weapons LV1 (17200/19000)】

Before breaking through to Grandmaster, Bai Xiao had already successfully ascended to the Mystic Martial King profession. Afterwards, he fought in successive battles, slaying the Beast Dragon God in the southern Federation and facing the Fear Knight in the Nightmare of Fear—all Grandmaster-level opponents. Naturally, his Mystic Martial King profession experience increased rapidly.

It looks like it's about to break through to level two.

It's important to understand that 19,000 professional experience points are equivalent to 380 potential points. Add to that the boost from the martial arts school master's profession, which is equivalent to 650 potential points. If the Dragon Elephant Martial Arts School were to become a top-tier school in the future, the boost would be even stronger, reaching a full 760 potential points.

Bai Xiao looked down and glanced at the modifier.

[Dark Red Modifier]

Potential point: August 752.1

"Once the King of Secret Weapons profession breaks through..."

"My potential points can directly reach more than 1,600 points."

A thought flashed through his mind, and he began to feel restless.

Bai Xiao looked up at the sky and saw a blazing sun slowly rising, having moved from the horizon to a seventy-degree angle and heading towards the center of the sky.

"Perfect timing, it's almost ten o'clock..."

He sat cross-legged and immediately took out secret techniques such as "Ninety-Nine Breathing Holes" and "Heaven and Earth Springs," intending to create a diagram of breathing holes that could encompass the stars in the heavens.

"Next, it's your turn to make the trip."

In an instant, a tall and mighty dragon-elephant glass figure slowly emerged from Bai Xiao's cross-legged body, completely overlapping with his own.

"despair."

The dragon and elephant clones stood up.

His battle form was exactly the same as Bai Xiao's, as he fully unleashed the Dragon Elephant Scripture. His entire body was enveloped in a golden, shimmering light, with illusory images of raging dragons and elephants intertwined around him.

An extremely terrifying surge of peak energy and blood was enough to make one's heart tremble.

“My forbidden clone has a time limit; it can only last for about half an hour. However, that should be enough…” Bai Xiao murmured.

Suddenly.

The dragon and elephant split into two, soaring into the sky.

Behind it, a five-clawed golden dragon, resembling a winding mountain range, seemed to sweep across the sky. Even more striking was an ancient, colossal elephant, towering and majestic, shattering mountains and rivers.

……

Donghai City, suburbs, Hexian Martial Arts School.

At this moment, the entire martial arts school was on high alert, with numerous disciples blocking all entrances to the mountain gate. However, a large number of martial artists from the Eastern Secret Martial Arts World, having heard the news from the morning, had gathered here, extremely excited.

Just kidding, that was a challenge from a grandmaster!
Moreover, it was the first battle of that Dragon Sect member who had just broken through!

You have to see it, you can't not see it.

As long as I can witness the whole thing, it would be worth dying for.

At this very moment, the area around the Crane Immortal Martial Arts School was bustling with activity. Even some of the sect leaders from the Eastern Nine Gates had come here in person, waiting for that moment to arrive.

Of course, the vast majority of people were kept outside the martial arts school. Only martial artists of the highest level, such as the masters of peak styles, were allowed to enter.

Time passed slowly, clouds drifted by, and a gentle breeze blew.

Ten o'clock in the morning.

"Rumble, rumble..."

Suddenly, everyone heard a deafening roar, like the simultaneous cry of a dragon and an elephant, shattering the silence from the distant horizon. At the top of the sky, a terrifying white-gold streak of light, trailing golden-red flames, plummeted like a meteorite.

With an extremely domineering and aggressive attitude, they charged towards the Crane Immortal Martial Arts School.

"Dragon Sect's White Owl, he's here!!!"

"It's the Dragon Elephant Hall Master! What a terrifying aura!"

"Dragon and Elephant versus Crane Immortal!?"

The crowd of onlookers went wild and became a commotion.

Crane Immortal Martial Arts School, a martial arts training ground.

In the surrounding area, the leaders of the Nine Eastern Gates stood quietly, waiting. In addition, there were also some elders and disciples of the Crane Immortal Martial Arts School.

One of them was unusually young.

It was Liu Xinzong, who had once competed with Bai Xiao in the fighting tournament.

And in the center of the martial arts arena.

An elderly man with white hair and dressed in white sat cross-legged, breathing evenly, as if he had merged into the surrounding airflow and become one with the entire space.

His eyes were closed, and he exhaled slowly, displaying the profound and majestic demeanor of a master.

Sudden.

Liu Heming suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze like two sharp swords.

He looked up instantly, gazing at the distant horizon.

"Friends come from far away……"

"call out!"

Crane Sect soared into the sky, like a crane spreading its wings, carrying with it a vast expanse of surging air currents. Forbidden power shook the universe, transforming into a palm strike that cleaved the heavens.

"boom!!!"
