CHAPTER 663: CHAPTER 663, BRONZE LEVEL MARTIAL WILL

Chu Ming was suddenly stunned, then was overjoyed. No matter what, he never thought that by absorbing the Soul Power of the Evil Celestial Emperor, not only would he give birth to a Spirit Body, but even his Martial Arts Will would have the tendency to transform into the Bronze Level.

However, with the Evil Celestial Emperor’s Martial Arts Will, it must have originally been at the Silver Level. Even if he had absorbed only a trace, it would have significantly benefited his Martial Arts Will.

Poof!

A pale cyan glow emerged from the shattered seed, and then the cyan glow gradually spread. Within a few breaths, the entire seed was completely shattered. A cyan crystal flashed out from within, and a terrifying majesty enveloped Chu Ming’s Sea of Souls.

Martial Arts Will is different from Secrets Martial Arts. Secrets Martial Arts amplify the lethality of Sword Techniques in an instant, whereas Martial Arts Will is a prolonged influence. A Martial Arts Will at the Bronze Level allows every Sword Technique of Chu Ming to increase its lethality by twenty percent.

If one day, Chu Ming’s Martial Arts Will reaches the Silver Level, the amplification of each Sword Technique will be even more terrifying, reaching an astounding fifty percent. At the Golden Level, the lethality of Sword Techniques would be roughly doubled.

The memories of the Evil Celestial Emperor were not only a record of his growth but also a huge treasure trove. After all, the Evil Celestial Emperor was once a top-tier emperor-level powerhouse. He knew dozens of Secrets Martial Arts techniques, many of which were high-tier, and even had two top-tier techniques.

Moreover, Chu Ming, by absorbing the Soul Power and memories of the Evil Celestial Emperor, had also absorbed some of his understanding of martial arts. As Chu Ming organized the Evil Celestial Emperor’s memories, he unconsciously comprehended the Secrets of Immortality and Secrets of Darkness.

"This is truly a great fortune!"

Chu Ming sighed in his heart. In this Barrier, not only did his Soul Power break through to the Life and Death Realm King Level, condensing a Spirit Body, but his Martial Arts Will also advanced to the Bronze Level. If he had cultivated slowly, these two advancements might have taken him more than ten years.

However, this was not the biggest gain. The biggest gain was the memories of the Evil Celestial Emperor, containing dozens of Secrets Martial Arts. This was an immense wealth, especially the two top-tier Secrets Martial Arts. If others knew that Chu Ming had the methods for cultivating two top-tier Secrets Martial Arts, the whole Celestial Martial Continent would be thrown into chaos.

Top-tier Secrets Martial Arts are more precious than Celestial Tier Divine Weapons in the entire continent. A top-tier King, with knowledge of one top-tier Secrets Martial Arts, could claim the title of emperor, like the Night Emperor and Emperor Ming. Among these ancient emperor-level powerhouses, none of them knew more than two top-tier Secrets Martial Arts.

With Chu Ming’s current Cultivation, it’s impossible to cultivate top-tier Secrets Martial Arts. Only when he breaks through to the Life and Death Realm King can he qualify to cultivate top-tier Secrets Martial Arts. Even high-tier Secrets Martial Arts require him to break through to the Fifth Layer of the Realm of Transcendence to cultivate; this is because his Soul Power had prematurely advanced to the Life and Death Realm King. For the average Martial Artist, cultivating high-tier Secrets Martial Arts requires reaching the Life and Death Realm King Level.

Poof, poof, poof...

Just as Chu Ming stood up, the surrounding Barrier suddenly shattered, and the eerie town disappeared entirely at that moment, including all the passersby, as if they had never existed.

The scene around him changed. When Chu Ming reacted, he was already in a wilderness, surrounded by desolation.

"Phew!"

Chu Ming gently exhaled, then a gleam of cold light flashed in his eyes as he muttered, "Xu Que..."

This time in the Barrier, although he did not find the Black Demon Stone, his Martial Arts Will broke through to the Bronze Level, which was his goal.

However, he also understood that when Xu Que told him there was a Black Demon Stone in the Barrier, his intentions were definitely not pure. This made him think that anyone entering without the White Light Plate would face certain death.

...

Outside.

When Chu Ming’s figure appeared in the wilderness, the expression of the Grand Elder of the Blood Cloud Palace suddenly froze. His face turned grim as he snarled, "How is this possible?! How could he have come out from there?!"

Although Chu Ming’s combat prowess was currently not as strong as his, Chu Ming’s talent was too formidable. Even the Grand Elder of the Blood Cloud Palace felt a sense of foreboding. If Chu Ming had died in the Barrier, it would have been over, but now it seemed like they would need stronger people from Blood Cloud Palace to come forth to kill Chu Ming.

"He actually came out?"

A hint of doubt flashed across the Night Emperor’s exquisite face, followed by a look of astonishment.

"How is it possible?! A Bronze Level Martial Arts Will?!"

As an ancient emperor-level powerhouse, the Night Emperor had seen many geniuses. For example, the Emperor of Creation and the Emperor of Destruction, she had already become an emperor-level powerhouse when they were in the Realm of Transcendence, but the cultivation talent of the Emperor of Creation and the Emperor of Destruction could only move her and not shock her. However, when she saw Chu Ming’s Bronze Level Martial Arts Will, she was completely astonished.

The progression from the Martial Arts Will Seed to a Bronze Level Martial Arts Will is a long process. For ordinary people, this process takes more than a hundred years. Even for the top ten geniuses in the Realm of Transcendence, it would be impossible to achieve this without spending ten years.

However, for Chu Ming, it took only a single day to complete the transformation from the Martial Arts Will Seed to the Bronze Level Martial Arts Will.

"What in the world did he experience in the Barrier?"

The Night Emperor was curious. There were few things in the world that could intrigue her, and today there was one more.

"Interesting!"

A meaningful smile appeared on the Emperor of Creation’s face. All the emperor-level powerhouses present could clearly see Chu Ming’s Bronze Level Martial Arts Will. In their eyes, Chu Ming looked like a glowing green beacon, which was the color of Martial Arts Will.

"Phew, it’s great that Junior Brother is alright!"

Yan Nanxing let out a soft sigh of relief. Chu Ming could now be considered the pillar of the Celestial Travel Sect. If anything were to happen to him, it would be a blow that the Celestial Travel Sect would find hard to bear.

"Chu Ming has great fortune, he won’t fall so easily."

Qingxuan King said lightly, with his gaze fixed on Chu Ming. He felt that Chu Ming was different from before. As a Half-Step Life and Death Realm King, his Martial Arts Will had just reached the Bronze Level. He could have never imagined that Chu Ming’s Martial Arts Will had also reached the Bronze Level at this moment.

...

Inside the Celestial Extreme Illusion Realm.

Chu Ming flew all the way; at present, he didn’t know what level his combat prowess had reached, but he believed it was not weaker than the Snow Demon Immortal.
