Chapter 766: After Being Released from Imprisonment Xu Xiaoshou's... Semi-Saint Experience Card

Pounding rain hammered down.

The night sky over the entire East Heaven King City was obscured by a curtain of rain, becoming hazy and blurred.

The rain continued to fall, like a symphony played by the heavens, gradually building from a steady flow to a powerful crescendo.

A soft rustle.

On the long street.

The little girl, held in Xu Xiaoshou's arms, looked at the straw hat that had suddenly appeared in that instant, heard a strange sound materialize beside her ear, and felt Xu Xiaoshou's body growing increasingly hot...

Immediately, she sensed something was wrong.

"Big brother, I suddenly don't want you to hold me anymore..."

After saying that.

The little girl's hand, still holding the wooden stick from the candied hawthorn skewer, shot out abruptly.

In an instant, it pierced through Xu Xiaoshou's chest.

Rip!

Blood splattered.

In a flash, the blood was washed away by the torrential rain.

At the same time.

Lured: Passive Points +1.Observed: Passive Points +1.Attacked: Passive Points +1.

The reality of these pop-up notifications in the information bar suddenly flooded Xu Xiaoshou's consciousness, as he broke free from the Void World, escaped the bewitched state, and returned to the real world.

His eyes snapped open.

This time, the pain made Xu Xiaoshou realize the reality.

On the long street in the rainy night, as his eyes opened, two dazzling white lights suddenly erupted.

A soft rustle.

A slight sound arose.

The torrential rain, however, was instantly burned away by a terrifying heatwave, like a force that could scorch the sky and boil the seas, the moment Xu Xiaoshou opened his eyes.

"This is..."

The little girl's pupils contracted.

At that moment, she could perceive that within a radius of several miles, including the sky above, not a single raindrop could penetrate.

A completely new domain!

And the one who had accomplished all this seemed to be the young man standing before her?

He's just an Innate, isn't he?

Bewildered, the little girl wanted to withdraw her hand and escape the dangerous situation.

But at that instant, she suddenly felt a tremendous force gripping her forearm.

It was Xu Xiaoshou's hands, clamping down with immense strength.

"Sorry, big brother suddenly doesn't want to take you to buy candied hawthorns anymore..."

Xu Xiaoshou murmured softly, and his Proximity Realm force field suddenly expanded.

"Hah!"

Rippling airwaves suddenly expanded in the air.

And the little girl, clamped in his hands before his chest, instantly turned to dust and died, as if subjected to endless severing.

"Grand Void..."

Looking at his empty embrace and the bloody hole still in his chest.

Xu Xiaoshou knew that this was not so simple.

The little girl certainly couldn't have died.

She must have used an indescribable power to break free from his grip and vanish.

"Sigh!"

Inappropriately, he shivered.

Xu Xiaoshou's eyes almost rolled back as he felt the intense, comfortable changes happening within his body.

The healing power of 'Endless Life' was incredibly effective.

But it clearly wasn't good enough to instantly repair his physical injuries the moment the little girl withdrew her hand.

Instead, every cell within his body seemed to have absorbed abundant, pure energy, comfortably expanding and groaning...

This state was even more unprecedented.

"Holy Blood!"

Xu Xiaoshou understood that this was the effect of the Holy Blood Elder Sang had given him.

Upon returning from the Void World, Xu Xiaoshou hadn't received any tangible items.

The thoughtful Elder Sang had already used the power of the Void to transfer and store all tangible objects within his consciousness.

With a thought.

He could use them immediately.

And the entry of this first drop of Holy Blood into his body was clearly due to Elder Sang knowing that his disciple might be too weak to even 'take out the Holy Blood and drink it' when triggering the Void World.

Therefore, it was automatically consumed.

"Roar—"

The moment his spiritual energy and physical strength underwent sublimation, Xu Xiaoshou let out a low roar, and his entire being began to ascend, as if undergoing apotheosis.

White flames blazed.

His eyebrows, hair, and clothes were all adorned with a sacred white hue.

And this dazzling white light in the rainy night descended like a miracle, suddenly appearing in the East Heaven King City, which was still completely shrouded in darkness.

"Holy Power?"

At the end of the long street.

The little girl, who had escaped the attack, stared blankly, watching Xu Xiaoshou, who had inexplicably undergone a monumental transformation.

"What's going on..."

At this moment, the little girl hadn't fully reacted.

In her perception of time, Xu Xiaoshou had merely picked her up, run a few steps, paused, and then a straw hat appeared on his head.

And then, his entire being had undergone a qualitative change!

And also...

Holy Power!

"Where did you get the Holy Power?"

The little girl exclaimed in shock from a great distance, unable to contain her curiosity as she asked.

Because if he had possessed Holy Power for protection earlier, Xu Xiaoshou could never have been bewitched by her, allowing her to completely control his body.

But now...

All these incredible things happened after that straw hat appeared!

"Is it Sang Qiye?"

Without waiting for an answer, the little girl had already guessed the answer.

At this moment, Xu Xiaoshou flew into mid-air, his entire body convulsing. After barely adapting, he let out a heavy sigh of relief.

"Heh."

It was clearly just a soft exhalation.

The next second.

Booming!

The long street sank three feet, houses collapsed, and the earth shook and mountains swayed.

Space rippled and vibrated, cracking the ten directions, and black holes flickered into existence.

Areas ten miles away were even shattered by this Holy Power's pressure, collapsing into a void of darkness and nothingness.

However, the illusion could not conceal the truth beneath the Holy Power.

Xu Xiaoshou looked around and understood that he was within the enemy's domain.

"A very quick reaction, as expected of a Grand Void..."

After a pause, Xu Xiaoshou's gaze, empowered by the Holy Power, pierced through the illusion and fixed on the little girl at the end of the long street, who had dodged far away.

"State your name!"

Xu Xiaoshou asked in a deep voice, "You, who exactly are you?"

Accompanying his words.

With a crack.

The power of the domain was pierced.

When Xu Xiaoshou's gaze, blazing with white flames, fell upon her, the little girl's knees slightly buckled, emitting a sound of cracking bones.

"Interesting..."

She was not alarmed, but rather delighted, as if astonished by the power erupting from Xu Xiaoshou.

"I am Yi, leader of the Foreign Division."

The little girl, Yi, retorted, "And you? Can you tell me how you achieved these changes... Did it come from your master?"

Hearing this, Xu Xiaoshou did not reply, only burst into laughter.

The longer time passed, the stronger he felt the power within his body grow.

The Holy Blood of the Jinzhao Half-Saint was simply too powerful!

Like lightning and thunder, it constantly coursed through his muscles and meridians, generating primal nuclear energy and producing power with endless effects... It was simply ineffable!

Just as Elder Sang had said, as a drop of Holy Blood specially prepared by an alchemist.

When Xu Xiaoshou consumed it, he didn't even feel a hint of rampage or pain.

The only clear feedback he received was immense power.

Unparalleled, a power as if he could slay gods and Buddhas.

"Drink a drop of blood, learn a spirit skill, slay a Grand Void!"

Without further ado.

After Xu Xiaoshou finished speaking, his entire body erupted with Holy Power.

He did not use the simulacrum Elder Sang had left him.

The Holy Blood had been consumed.

Then he would become that day's Half-Saint!

"Nine Dragons Burning Ancestors, Activate!"

At that moment, Xu Xiaoshou let out a low roar.

He hunched his back, then puffed out his chest, and his entire being straightened like a spear.

And then.

Amidst a booming sound, a thick, thunderous, scorching white flame, accompanied by immense and dense Holy Power, erupted from his body, piercing through the domain and soaring to the highest heavens.

After reaching its peak, the Holy Power's white flame blossomed like fireworks in the dark, rainy night sky, scattering across the firmament.

Heaven and earth, at this moment, fell completely silent.

Clouds dispersed and the rain stopped.

The wind ceased and the rain stopped.

That dazzlingly sacred silhouette, enveloped in white flames, seemed to become eternal in the night, a most brilliant and vivid stroke against the darkest backdrop!

Yi was stunned.

She felt the Holy Power on Xu Xiaoshou.

But she had never imagined that the increase in Holy Power could be so rapid?

Isn't he just a mere Innate Realm cultivator?

With this magnitude of Holy Power eruption, isn't he afraid of bursting?

At the same time.

Across the entire East Heaven King City, almost everyone noticed this sacred display of white flames.

At the trade fair site.

Rao Yaoyao and the demonic beast Wu Xia were originally confronting each other in mid-air. At this moment, both of them involuntarily turned their heads, their eyes wide with surprise, drawn by the monumental changes in the central city.

"Holy Power again?"

Below, the Red Coats and White Coats, including the crowd at the trade fair whose barrier had been blown open, allowing them to see outside, were equally stunned.

"Holy Power?""Did the Holy Divine Palace send a Half-Saint this time?""Rao Yaoyao, one of the Seven Sword Immortals, is already here. Who is this Half-Saint fighting against?"

At the central city battlefield.

The storyteller, who had been suppressed by Teng Shanhai, instantly managed to escape.

Almost simultaneously, after the two separated, they looked up, horror in their eyes.

"Holy Power?"

At this moment, one of the two thought about tonight's enemy: there was actually someone else with Half-Saint level power. Wouldn't that mean only Rao Yaoyao could handle them?

And the other thought that, to deal with the Holy Servants, the Holy Divine Palace had actually brought out a Half-Saint this time?

Such immense Holy Power erupted in an instant. The two, who had previous experience observing Holy Power, at this moment, neither would have thought that the scene before them was merely the unfolding of a holy simulacrum.

Meanwhile, far from the battle on the long street.

Mei Si Ren stopped in his tracks.

He looked at the Holy Power and suddenly laughed self-deprecatingly.

"Xu Xiaoshou..."

Apparently, all of this was just Mei Si Ren's own wishful thinking.

Xu Xiaoshou was indeed merely an Innate, and with his Innate body, he was indeed controlled by a Grand Void.

But as the heir to Yu Tu's will and the destined one of Ba Zun An, how could he truly be controlled by a Grand Void without any means of resistance?

That young man.

He indeed looked like just a young man.

But what was riding on him were the heavy stakes of many strategists.

Such a person, even without his intervention, wouldn't easily fall into the hands of the Holy Divine Palace, would he?

Mei Si Ren held his folding fan, thought for a moment, and still moved forward.

It could be said that he was one of the few who knew the truth behind this white flame sacred display.

Naturally, he also knew that Xu Xiaoshou could use a holy simulacrum to fight a Grand Void. But essentially, he was still just an Innate.

The Grand Void on the other side had been famous for a long time. Who could say that nothing else would go wrong in the process?

In the battle.

Looking at Xu Xiaoshou, whose Holy Power was surging and erupting, Yi at this moment was already so suppressed that she couldn't even lift her head.

Mortal flesh, even a Grand Void, how could it contend against the might of a Saint?

However, Holy Power truly did not belong to Xu Xiaoshou alone.

"I never thought that I, a dignified leader of the Foreign Division, would have to consume a drop of Holy Blood just to capture a junior..." Yi muttered.

Yi was smiling bitterly.

Subsequently, she took out a drop of golden Holy Blood and consumed it as well.

In an instant, a homogeneous Holy Power erupted, and the pressure of the Saint Path could no longer affect her in the slightest.

"Little fellow..."

Yi slowly stepped forward.

With this step, her little girl form underwent a monumental transformation.

This time, she actually transformed into Elder Sang's appearance.

That straw hat, that coir raincoat, and those large dark circles under his eyes... Except for the playful gaze within the dark circles, which was completely unlike Elder Sang's demeanor.

Yi's entire being was permeated with Elder Sang's essence!

"Good disciple, are you going to commit master-killing?"

Yi's demeanor suddenly became subdued, even her gaze became identical to Elder Sang's, and her words were filled with deep disappointment.

However, at this moment, her bewitching power could no longer affect Xu Xiaoshou, who was imbued with Holy Power.

Even this time, the information bar did not pop up.

"Master-killing..."

Xu Xiaoshou, high in the sky, heard this and smiled.

Once upon a time, this was his only dream for becoming stronger!

"Jinzhao Sky Burning!"

Without further ado.

With a single angry roar.

The power of the Jinzhao original seed within his body completely ignited.

This was a power that even Elder Sang marvelled at, a power that, in terms of 'quality,' had already surpassed the Severing Dao Realm, rich in calamitous energy, and could even pose a threat to Severing Dao and Grand Void cultivators without the blessing of Holy Power.

Xu Xiaoshou rarely fully ignited the Jinzhao original seed.

Because he couldn't bear it.

But now, with Holy Blood healing his body and Holy Power blessing him.

Why not ignite it like this?

From a considerable distance, Xu Xiaoshou lowered his eyelids, then angrily opened his Heavenly Gate.

In an instant, a continuous fluttering sound filled the air.

White flames surged forth like a mountain flood and tsunami, overturning everything in the eight directions.

In an instant, it scorched the entire visible world.

The domain unfolded by Yi, like something in a cauldron, was instantly clung to by the white flames and burned to ash.

Xu Xiaoshou felt a stirring in his heart, recalling the scene in the Eight Palaces where Elder Sang had pulled an entire world of white flames from the Hundred Thousand Mountains.

That was the power he longed for.

He hadn't dared to think about it before... But now, he dared to think about it, and he dared to do it!

"Dragon, Fusion, Realm!"

He raised his hands, then pressed them down.

With a boom, the void shattered.

The originally restless Five Elements and Six Paths elements, and the endless shattered blades overflowing from the spatial cracks, were almost simultaneously assimilated by the white.

Ten miles of white flames.

A realm was born!

"Seriously, he's insane..."

On the other side, Yi was already going mad from watching.

She wasn't stunned by the attack. She was dumbfounded by the world-destroying scene before her.

Although Yi had repeatedly told herself that this young man, even with Holy Blood consumed and a holy simulacrum, was still essentially just an Innate.

But who could tell her which Innate in this world was as unreasonable as the person before her?

Just how much power, not just Innate... no, not just Severing Dao level power, was hidden within this guy? Therefore, was he able to unleash such spirit skills that were originally enough to threaten a Grand Void, even after losing the constraints of his cultivation?

"Seriously, he's insane!" Yi silently complained.

At this moment, she didn't even dare to use her spiritual sense to touch this Dragon Fusion Realm that had engulfed her domain.

Because not just the domain, but her spiritual sense, Dao rhythm... even the power she could control and spiritual energy within her... it was so exaggerated that her entire Sea of Qi was ignited under Xu Xiaoshou's gaze!

"Clouds and Rain Vanish, Style!"

Yi formed hand seals, using the Grand Void power that could vanish everything, and first extinguished all the white flames containing calamitous power on her own body.

Afterward, she then rose into the air, wanting to confront this person whose momentum was growing stronger.

He couldn't be allowed to continue, otherwise, she truly didn't know what other moves he would unleash.

But when she looked up, the person who had just been dazzling the world within her sight...

had vanished?

"What are you looking at? I'm here!"

Xu Xiaoshou's voice, after dispelling his vanishing art, suddenly came from behind her.

Yi turned her head at light speed and lunged forward with the momentum.

Because, behind her, this person must have been preparing an attack while she was unprepared.

"Take this punch!"

A punch was certain.

However, Xu Xiaoshou at this moment seemed to have already anticipated Yi's thoughts. Even though there were still several body lengths between them, he took a step as if ascending to heaven, and when his figure reappeared...

His fist was already pressed against Yi's 'old face'.

This was not Yi's face.

This was, in Xu Xiaoshou's heart, the old face of the one who had fed him the seed at Swan Lake, making him suffer endless torment, and he had sworn to make him pay for everything.

"Passive Punch, Break!"
