Cultivation Begins with Skill Points-Chapter 250 The Power of Yunling Realm Martial Artist

Chapter 250: Chapter 250 The Power of Yunling Realm Martial Artist

The war was about to begin, as a large number of sea beasts, under the command of the sea apes, landed ashore and started slaughtering the residents of the Luoxing Islands.

Soldiers against soldiers, generals against generals.

Zhong Lin was also targeted by a Spirit Sea Realm powerhouse among the sea apes. The opponent was a water monkey over two meters tall, with messy hair of a reddish-gray color, holding a refined steel rod. Under him sat a sea beast resembling a shark, also boasting Spirit Sea Realm strength.

This made the fish resemble Zhuang Zhou from the previous world’s "King of Glory", mysteriously able to swim through the air.

"Human... die."

The water monkey, having locked onto Zhong Lin, let out a roar with a fierce expression. Its mouth split open, revealing sharp fangs entangled with bits of flesh, appearing exceedingly ferocious.

The shark beneath it moved, propelling the entire being towards Zhong Lin, striking down with the diamond rod in a manner reminiscent of splitting a mountain.

Sonic booms erupted, white air waves unfolded, and the surrounding air seemed bound, instilling a belief that if struck, one’s entire body would explode into a mist of blood.

Zhong Lin spread his right hand, summoning a spiritual treasure sword, swinging it to meet the oncoming terrifying golden sword Qi.

Boom!

The airwaves spread outward like ripples in water, reducing everything they touched to dust.

Feeling the powerful aura of the two combatants, whether Luoxing Island martial artists or low-ranked sea clan members, all distanced themselves, fearing the repercussions of their clash.

With just one strike, Zhong Lin already gauged the water monkey’s strength.

Not impressive.

Of course, this lackluster assessment was mainly from Zhong Lin’s perspective, given his substantial spiritual origin and robust physical body. Human clan martial artists of the same level would find it hard to match him.

But unfortunately for him, he encountered Zhong Lin. Zhong Lin’s spiritual origin and physique were unmatched, and his fifth-layer Dragon Elephant Golden Body could easily overwhelm even this adversary.

Nevertheless, Zhong Lin chose not to kill it excessively, merely suppressing his strength to engage in a fierce battle, avoiding drawing too much attention.

Meanwhile, his eyes constantly scanned the battlefield, observing the surrounding combat situations.

With the sea ape clan’s full-scale assault, the battle fully intensified.

Ordinary martial artists engaged in formation-based combat, Spirit Sea Realm martial artists fought one-on-one duels, and even Spirit Embryo Realm combat began escalating.

This was Zhong Lin’s first time witnessing Spirit Embryo Realm martial artists in action, opening his eyes wide and dispelling his arrogance, becoming more composed.

"See, this is the Spirit Embryo Realm, the second realm of the Transcendent Realm, forging an innate spirit embryo with supreme cultivation. Upon reaching this realm, the physical body is so powerful that even without using liquid spiritual origin, relying solely on physical strength, a punch or a kick can obliterate a common Spirit Sea Realm cultivator, reaching the extreme of power."

Chen Jia’s voice came from the Soul Nourishing Ring.

Zhong Lin sighed internally, "I now understand why it’s rare to see anyone cultivating powerful physical body techniques. All it takes is to condense a spirit embryo, rivaling what I’ve painstakingly achieved with the fifth-layer Dragon Elephant Golden Body, that is truly annoying."

"You’ve worked hard to cultivate physical martial arts, only to find in the end that all it takes is to cultivate a spirit embryo, and those things come naturally. Doesn’t that render all your previous efforts meaningless?"

"Can’t say that," Chen Jia comforted. "For you, cultivating the Dragon Elephant Golden Body only cost some time, but the battle strength it brought you made you almost invincible at the same level.

Moreover, if you can refine the Dragon Elephant Golden Body to the ninth layer, you can still sweep across the Spirit Embryo Realm. Didn’t you notice that even with their strong bodies, these water monkeys are evidently stronger than human martial artists? So physical martial arts still have their uses."

Without needing Chen Jia’s words, Zhong Lin could observe that the Luoxing Island martial artists fighting in the void were generally at a disadvantage, primarily because the water monkeys had overly formidable physical bodies, with each punch and kick containing immense power, while human martial artists relied more on various powerful martial arts to counterattack.

"Watch out!"

Zhong Lin’s heart suddenly tightened with a sense of danger, rising to the forefront.

He noticed two Yunling Realm martial artists abruptly changing their battlefield and approaching near Zhong Lin at an unknown time.

Seeing the two supreme masters in Yunling approaching, Zhong Lin felt a shock in his heart, his face changing drastically, wishing to retreat, but it was already too late.

A frightening spiritual wave instantly struck, piercing his mind like a sharp blade.

Having comprehended sword intent with clarity, Zhong Lin, possessing three-tenths of its potential, should have had a strong mental resolve. But now, under this spiritual assault, he felt like a helpless infant, all resistance defused and utterly destroyed.

"Ah!"

Zhong Lin’s face turned stark white, spurting blood from his mouth.

"Retreat quickly!"

Chen Jia roared from the Soul Nourishing Ring, as an overwhelming spiritual force swept out from the ring in Zhong Lin’s hand, crashing against the aftershock of the Yunling Realm martial artists’ battle, akin to a wild dragon.

Roar!

Zhong Lin clearly heard a muffled sound coming from the Soul Nourishing Ring, showing that Chen Jia suffered significant injury at that moment.

"Great opportunity, hurry and get out."

Despite the piercing pain in his mind, Zhong Lin swiftly retreated, slashing his sword to kill the water monkey riding the fish in front of him, collecting the corpse into his storage bracelet.

"This place is not suited for lingering, leave now."

Chen Jia’s weak voice emerged from the Soul Nourishing Ring, indicating a major depletion of vitality.

After completely escaping a distance, Zhong Lin retrieved a Purple Mansion Pill and swallowed it.

The Purple Mansion Pill—a sixth-grade elixir—had effects of cleansing the divine soul, purifying the physical body, and enhancing the divine sense physique.

The elixir dissolved upon entering, a refreshing sensation surged into his mind, pacifying the previously throbbing head promptly.

"Master, how are you?"

Zhong Lin asked while channeling a stream of liquid spiritual origin into the Soul Nourishing Ring.

"Rest assured, I won’t die."

Chen Jia replied feebly, but his words remained clear.

Zhong Lin quietly breathed a sigh of relief, glancing in amazement at the distant battle involving a man and an ape.

"Master, was it Soul Power that invaded my mind just now?" Zhong Lin inquired.

"Yes! You’ve experienced the might of Yunling Realm martial artists, right? Spirit Sea Realm warriors are strong in spiritual origin, Spirit Embryo Realm warriors in the physical body, but Yunling Realm warriors are comprehensively powerful, excelling in spiritual origin, body, and soul, with no shortcomings.

In front of Yunling Realm warriors, even Spirit Embryo Realm holds no value.

Though the body and power of Yunling Realm cultivators may not outshine Spirit Embryo Realm warriors significantly, the soul power of Yunling Realm is extremely formidable. A Spirit Embryo Realm warrior unable to withstand soul impact falls into passivity, easily slaughtered.

Unless a Spirit Embryo Realm warrior possesses a spiritual artifact to guard the soul, only then can they barely contend with Yunling Realm. Otherwise, before Yunling Realm cultivators, the Spirit Embryo Realm is akin to ants, albeit slightly harder to kill, requiring more time to eliminate."
