Star Martial Soaring Cloud

The wind grew stronger, howling in from outside the valley, whipping up clouds of mist and pebbles, making a mournful sound, as if lamenting the departure of this chosen one of heaven.

The ancient trees in the valley swayed violently in the wind, their branches and leaves rubbing against each other, making a rustling sound, like a sad elegy.

Heaven and earth grieved for the departure of this chosen one of heaven, and the entire Demon Island mourned for him.

Wang Xiao was immersed in this endless regret, her heart filled with mixed feelings.

Looking at Feng Rujing's cold corpse and Lin Shisan's crazed, twisted smile, an unprecedented rage suddenly erupted in his heart, instantly engulfing his entire mind.

He felt he had to do something!

Since demons don't belong to the human world, and yet he encountered one.

Then he has an obligation to personally send this demon back to hell!

Even if just moments ago Feng Rujing was his enemy, an opponent he had to face, now he wanted to seek justice for this enemy.

Wang Xiao's eyes turned icy cold, and his aura became increasingly violent.

He gripped the Seven Star Sword tightly, his fingertips turning white from the force. His internal energy circulated wildly, and his muscles tensed subtly. A resolute ruthlessness emanated from him, making him completely different from his previous calm self.

He walked towards Lin Shisan step by step, leaving a shallow footprint on the ground with each step, crushing the gravel and causing the air to churn violently with his violent aura.

But at that moment, a sudden thought struck Wang Xiao, and a strong sense of crisis instantly swept over his entire mind.

He subconsciously stopped in his tracks, his brows furrowed, his gaze fixed on Lin Shisan, his eyes filled with shock and solemnity.

Lin Shisan raised his head and looked at him.

That gaze sent a chill down Wang Xiao's spine.

What kind of gaze is that?

Wang Xiao's pupils contracted sharply. He finally realized that Lin Shisan's aura was rising rapidly!

That aura was exactly the same as Feng Rujing's—vast as the sea and icy as an abyss!

wrong!

It's not just that they're identical—it's that two different auras are intertwined and merging into one!

The aura of Feng Rujing and the aura of Lin Shisan intertwined and gradually merged into one!

"You... absorbed his power?" Wang Xiao asked incredulously.

Lin Shisan laughed, a laugh filled with smug satisfaction: "Finally figured it out? Too bad, it's too late."

He opened his arms, took a deep breath, and his face was full of ecstasy.

Wang Xiao overlooked a crucial and extremely fatal thing—the moment Lin Shisan pierced Feng Rujing's chest and dug out his heart, he was not only killing him, but also plundering Feng Rujing's power!

A faint white mist surrounded Lin Shisan, which was the essence of Feng Rujing's vital energy.

These vital energies were continuously gushing out from Feng Rujing's corpse, flowing down Lin Shisan's arm and into his body.

Lin Shisan's aura was also rising at a visible speed, breaking through the limit of the Fish Leap Realm, and was still breaking through and getting stronger. The Yuan Qi around his body was also becoming more and more concentrated.

A storm raged in Wang Xiao's heart; he knew all too well the constraints of the Fish Leap Realm.

The Fish Leap Realm ultimately involves developing one's own power. Through cultivation, cultivators continuously stimulate their inner potential, absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to transform it into their own power, and gradually improve their cultivation until they reach the ultimate level of their own power—that is, the ultimate in strength.

Human strength has its limits.

No matter how high a cultivator's talent is, or how hard they work, once they reach the peak of the Fish Leap Realm, their internal power will reach saturation. No matter how much they cultivate or absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, their power will not increase by even a fraction.

This is the destiny of cultivators at the Fish Leap Realm, an insurmountable constraint, without exception.

Therefore, for cultivators in the Fish Leap Realm, once their cultivation reaches the pinnacle of power, the competition is no longer about the strength of their physical strength, but rather the exquisiteness of their moves, the level of their skills, and their control over their power. Whoever can unleash the full potential of this pinnacle of power, whoever can maintain this peak state for a longer period of time, and whoever can perfectly integrate their moves with their power will gain the upper hand.

The reason why Wang Xiao was able to run rampant in the Fish Leap Realm without fear of any opponent was because he had already reached the limit of power when he first entered the Fish Leap Realm.

His path of cultivation was far more difficult and cruel than others. From the moment he embarked on the path of cultivation, he had been struggling on the edge of life and death, and his practical experience was far richer than anyone else's.

His application and mastery of force are far beyond what ordinary people can match.

Moreover, he possesses an invincible physical body and the exquisite Seven Star Rain Steps.

Therefore, when he saw Feng Rujing and Lin Shisan coming together, he was confident that he had a way to escape and even the strength to fight – because the extreme power of the Fish Leap Realm was like an invisible shackle, hanging over the heads of all Fish Leap Realm cultivators, limiting their power ceiling.

But now, everything has changed.

Lin Shisan had cultivated some kind of evil technique that allowed him to devour the power of others and plunder the vital essence within Feng Rujing's body.

Although he was still in the Fish Leap Realm, he used this unorthodox method to break through the shackles of the Fish Leap Realm and break through the limit of power!

At this moment, Lin Shisan's power is equivalent to that of two Lin Shisans or two Feng Rujings!

This is not the joint effort of two extremely powerful individuals, but a terrifying being with twice the strength of an extremely powerful being!

What is heresy or evil? This is it!

Instead of relying on their own arduous cultivation, they forcibly seize the power of others to achieve their "supreme Dharma".

Wang Xiao felt a chill in her heart.

He was fearless even when facing any one of the twelve strongest warriors; even when facing two of the twelve strongest warriors working together, he was confident he could fight to the death.

But twice the strength of Feng Rujing, twice the strength of Lin Shisan, this was absolutely beyond his capacity to bear - even if he had a strong physique, even if his moves were exquisite, even if he had rich combat experience, in the face of an absolute power difference, everything seemed so pale and powerless.

Thinking of this, Wang Xiao did not hesitate at all. He suddenly leaped backward, using the Seven Star Rain Step to its fullest extent. Like a ghostly afterimage, he sped away towards the outside of the valley.

He knew that he absolutely could not confront Lin Shisan head-on at this moment; if he did, he would only face certain death!

"Too late!" A cold and arrogant voice rang out behind Wang Xiao, filled with undisguised disdain and mockery.

No sooner had he finished speaking than a moon-white afterimage appeared in front of Wang Xiao, blocking his path.

Lin Shisan was surrounded by dense white spiritual energy, which was mixed with a faint chill. The chill was icy and bone-chilling, even colder than the Frost Technique of the Arctic Immortal Palace.

A disdainful smile played on his lips as he silently watched Wang Xiao, as if he were observing a dying ant.

His figure also underwent some subtle changes: his originally handsome face became even more dashing, but also colder, and his brows showed a hint of composure and majesty like Feng Rujing's. However, this composure and majesty was mixed with a deep-seated ruthlessness and madness, making him appear particularly eerie.
