Chapter 1644 - 1609: Breaking Through to Emperor Level Advanced Realm

Yang Xiao stood up and walked about five meters towards the center of the storm, then sat down again, operating the Wind Eagle Divine Skill.

Tuomu Lion was stunned when he saw this.

He could also step forward a few steps, but he couldn't stay and cultivate like Yang Xiao.

"What's up with this kid?"

All the cultivators in the Wind Blade Purgatory cave watched Yang Xiao nervously, while Yang Xiao had already been swept up by the extremely fierce wind blades, as though thousands of knives were slicing across his skin, leaving him covered in wounds.

However, the Wind Eagle Divine Beast within Yang Xiao constantly emitted a strong warm current, continuously repairing every wound caused by the wind blades.

The violent wind elemental evolution energy surged into his body, continuously flowing into Yang Xiao's Energy Sea.

Yang Xiao's mind was clear and focused, concentrating solely on cultivation, like a god amidst the storm.

Someone recognized Yang Xiao.

"This kid is Yang Xiao, the prodigy of Shendu College this year."

"Really? I heard Yang Xiao also performed remarkably in the Ice Lake Purgatory, capturing countless Ice Bugs."

"Ah, every year there's a prodigy, but this year's is the most incredible!"

"I truly cannot believe he can get so close to the center of the storm. To go further, one must be at Saint Level Supreme to withstand it."

...

The news of Yang Xiao cultivating in the Wind Blade Purgatory quickly spread, causing a sensation.

Just like in the Ice Lake Purgatory, many people came running to watch the spectacle.

Even Vice Dean Le came over.

The Wind Blade Purgatory was crowded, with many wanting to ask Yang Xiao for cultivation secrets and how to enter the storm's core to enjoy faster, violent evolution energy.

Vice Dean Le directly fired at the onlookers, scolding:

"What are you looking at? This guy is a genius, working so hard to cultivate while you garbage just stand here watching? Don't you feel ashamed?"

"Being a bit less talented is fine, but having poor talent and being so lazy, not diligently cultivating, that's on you."

"Look at Yang Xiao, he's been in the Academy for just over a year and is about to rise from Emperor Level Primary Level Realm to Emperor Level Advanced Realm. You can't envy this, not fated for it, just go cultivate."

"If I catch you idly watching here again, you'll be banned from the Purgatory Dungeon for three months."

The onlookers left the Wind Blade Purgatory in shame, each muttering:

"What kind of world is this? I was also once known as a genius. How did I become an idiot now? Yang Xiao is just too unreasonable!"

Yang Xiao didn't expect to inexplicably become the public enemy.

The group cultivating in the Ice Lake Purgatory laughed heartily upon hearing this, remembering Yang Xiao's past cultivation there, each chuckling bitterly.

Yang Xiao walked forward about twenty meters more.

At this moment, within Yang Xiao, the four Divine Beast Totems all gleamed golden, uniting into one, with the warm currents inside becoming increasingly overwhelming, while the violent evolution energy absorbed from outside continuously poured into his body.

Yang Xiao had been cultivating in the Wind Blade Purgatory for nearly three months, when suddenly a "boom" rang out within him, a beam of light shot from the Evolution Energy Ocean in his abdomen straight to his head.

Yang Xiao broke through to Emperor Level Advanced Realm.

The other cultivators in the Wind Blade Purgatory were astonished.

"He's done it, this kid successfully broke through the Emperor Level Advanced Realm, incredible!"

"He's a real prodigy!"

"Yang Xiao is even tougher than Dean Jingshan!"

"He might even rival Thanos Saint's prodigy, though we've only heard of their great skill."

...

In Vice Dean Le's small house, Xiao Bai was amazed as he gazed at Yang Xiao.

"Did you really break through to Emperor Level Advanced Realm?"

"Of course!"

Yang Xiao replied calmly.

After breaking through to Emperor Level Advanced Realm, he gained a new Soul Skill:

Divine Beast Armor.

When his body transforms into the Godzilla Divine Beast, besides the Defense Light Screen as the first line of defense, the Godzilla's entire body will be covered with a layer of dark scales, providing an additional 100% defense.

The Divine Beast Armor will become Yang Xiao's second line of close-range defense; only if the opponent breaks through both the Defense Light Screen and the Divine Beast Armor can the Beast Soul's body be harmed.

Compared to before, it essentially gives the Beast Soul an extra life.

"Xiao Bai, after more than a year of cultivating in the Fiery Flame Furnace's Purgatory, how are you faring now?"

"I'm not as spectacular as you, I've only improved a little bit in cultivation, still far from breaking through."

"That's okay, take your time, you have plenty of time. As I've mentioned before, regarding going to the Ancient Continent, will you join me or not?"

"Regardless of whether I join, you're going to the Ancient Continent, right?"

"Yes."

"Then I'll go with you."

Xiao Bai nodded.

The reason Yang Xiao planned to take Xiao Bai to the Ancient Continent was because Vice Dean Le initially advised him that, since Xiao Bai came from the Ancient Continent, he was familiar with the place and could act as a guide for Yang Xiao's exploration.

Yang Xiao found Xiao Qingliu in the Ice Lake Purgatory.

Xiao Qingliu had already sat in the front, cultivating with the Spirit Transformation Pearl, occasionally catching an Ice Bug.

Peng Lao and others nodded to Yang Xiao as he approached.

People had a good impression of Yang Xiao, especially because he generously lent the Spirit Transformation Pearl to others, allowing many to use it near Xiao Qingliu.

"Brother Yang, you're here."

"Brother Yang, we really missed you. The power of the Ice Lake Purgatory is no less than the Wind Blade Purgatory, come cultivate with us here from now on."

"Without you here, Miss Qingliu misses you a lot."

Xiao Qingliu laughed:

"Stop talking nonsense. Do you still want to borrow my Spirit Transformation Pearl?"

The crowd laughed.

Yang Xiao smiled and said,

"Since everyone misses me, let me give you all a great gift."

Yang Xiao finished speaking and quickly dashed into the Ice Lake Tunnel.

"What is he doing?"

"Oh no, Brother Yang is going to catch Ice Bugs."

In an instant, Yang appeared from inside, holding a twenty-centimeter long Ice Bug, as thick as an arm.

"Catch it, he's caught a big Ice Bug!"

Peng Lao's face changed and he shouted loudly:

"Everyone below Emperor Level Realm, run quickly, the rest of you follow me to defend."

Peng Lao quickly condensed a Defense Light Screen, blocking the entrance to the Ice Cave.

Dozens of Emperor Level Transcendent experts also acted together, with dozens of Defense Light Screens layered within the Ice Cave Tunnel.

"Boom!"

A loud explosion shook the tunnel.

The fierce energy shock wave shattered more than twenty layers of Defense Light Screens before reluctantly halting.

The sky was filled with ice mist mixed with fine liquid, floating in the cave.

Peng Lao was shocked, shouting:

"Oh my, it's evolution energy condensed into a liquid, it can be absorbed directly, everyone hurry, don't waste it."

Peng Lao opened his mouth wide, sucking hard, the surrounding mist entering his mouth.

Everyone else followed suit, vigorously absorbing the evolution energy mist in the air, thrilled by the fierce evolution energy directly infused into their bodies.

Moments later, Peng Lao suddenly sat on the ground, hands forming a seal, eyes closed, cultivating with excitement.

"Whew!"

Peng Lao opened his eyes and stood up, bowing towards Yang Xiao.

Yang Xiao was surprised,

"Aye, Peng Lao, what's the meaning of this?"

"Thank you, Brother Yang. You've loosened the Genetic Evolution Space I've been stuck on for years, I just increased my attribute value, you know, I haven't improved in ten years, this advancement indicates I might break through to Saint Level Supreme."

"Thank you, Brother Yang!"

Peng Lao bowed deeply again.

Meanwhile, four other individuals also bowed to Yang Xiao in gratitude.

"Thank you, Brother Yang, I've finally broken through to Emperor Level Middle Stage Realm, I've been waiting for this day for a long time."

"Thank you, Brother Yang, I've broken through to Emperor Level Advanced Realm."

Yang Xiao waved his hands,

"Alright, stop thanking me, just a little effort, I'll capture more Ice Bugs for you when I have time, I noticed there are even bigger ones inside."

Yang Xiao holding Xiao Qingliu's hand, walked away.
