Berserk God of War

Rumble...

As if provoked by the meridians in the One Claw Corpse Bone of the former Master of Ten Thousand Beasts, the dried-up, damaged Beast Veins and demon beast Dantian in Sikong Jing’s body suddenly seemed to awaken, as if they were about to restart.

Originally, his Beast Veins needed his Human Clan meridians to reach the Emperor Martial Stage before they could feed back and repair the injuries.

But now, they were flaring up ahead of time because of the existence of that One Claw Corpse Bone.

Sikong Jing sensed the condition inside his body, divine light bursting in his eyes.

Without any delay, he sat down cross-legged, directly entering a Cultivation state, directly rebooting the Fierce Beast Dantian.

Just like that, Sikong Jing kept observing and comprehending the One Claw Corpse Bone of the former Master of Ten Thousand Beasts, engraving the meridians within it into his right hand—a completely new meridian appeared inside Sikong Jing’s right hand.

Though it was only a single claw, it belonged to the former Master of Ten Thousand Beasts.

Its power was far from anything the meridians of Holy Martial Thunderstorm Roar Beasts, Ice Eternal Mystic Turtles and the like could compare to.

And because it was from the former Master of Ten Thousand Beasts, it shared the same root and origin as him...

Though the meridians were no less complex than those of a Divine Martial demon beast, Sikong Jing was still able to engrave and comprehend them.

As Sikong Jing continued Cultivating, the Beast Veins and cocoon-like Dantian kept generating True Qi, continuously repairing all of his Beast Veins.

It was precisely the One Claw Corpse Bone that had triggered this activation.

And when Sikong Jing finally finished repairing everything, the True Qi in his Beast Veins naturally wanted to immediately recover to the Peak of King Realm of the Emperor Martial Stage, which was also Sikong Jing’s current strongest state...

But in that instant, Sikong Jing murmured inwardly, "I can’t let it recover. Otherwise, the Human Meridian and second Dantian will be crushed."

For now, things were only just repaired; although True Qi had been generated, it hadn’t yet flooded his entire body.

And the same old problem—The Master of Ten Thousand Beasts’ bloodline was too terrifying.

If he let the Fierce Beast Dantian and True Qi directly restore to the King Realm of the Emperor Martial Stage, then his Human Clan Double Emperor Veins would once again vanish without a trace, to the point he wouldn’t even be able to locate them...

The Human meridians and Dantian he had painstakingly Cultivated would be ground to dust.

So Sikong Jing absolutely had to suppress it, keeping the Human meridians and Beast Veins in a balanced state.

Thinking of this, Sikong Jing forcibly suppressed the realm of his Beast Veins, then turned to Cultivate the Demon Battle Heavenly Technique, beginning to stimulate his Human meridians and Dantian, letting the talent of his Double Emperor Veins run wild...

Right now his Human meridians had just stepped into the Spirit Martial realm, so he kept his Beast Veins at the Peak of Martial Combat realm.

At that level, the two sides formed a strange balance.

Immediately after, Sikong Jing began simultaneously comprehending the meridians within the One Claw Corpse Bone while continuing to Cultivate the Demon Battle Heavenly Technique. This time, it was the Beast Veins feeding the growth of the Human meridians.

So his Cultivation speed was ridiculously fast.

But maintaining balance between the two was truly hard—they were fundamentally in conflict.

Suddenly, Sikong Jing thought of something and spoke in a low voice...

"Right, following Black Demon’s Pure Spirit Seven Heart Technique, and using the Demon Form Spirit Shadow control method for the Demon Path Seven-layered Body, I can use the Human-shaped Spirit Shadow to control the Human Meridian, and the Beast-shaped Spirit Shadow to control the Beast Veins..."

"As long as the Spiritual Shadows stay in balance, then the two meridians can remain balanced and even promote each other."

With that idea, Sikong Jing then used the Pure Spirit Seven Heart Technique to repair his two damaged Spiritual Shadows.

Time trickled by...

The Human-shaped Spirit Shadow recovered, and the Beast-shaped Spirit Shadow finally recovered as well.

Though the Pure Spirit Seven Heart Technique was tailored for the Demon Form Spirit Shadow, there were many things within it that could be referenced, borrowed, and learned.

One had to admit, in this area Black Demon was simply a born genius.

Not long after, the Human-shaped and Beast-shaped Spiritual Shadows broke through together; both Spiritual Shadows directly reached the Venerable Realm. In other words, Sikong Jing would no longer be stuck at the King Realm.

At last, he had broken through that bottleneck.

"If I want balance, the Human-shaped Spirit Shadow must be slightly stronger, only then can it suppress the crushing pressure of the Beast Veins on the Human Meridian."

Muttering again, Sikong Jing focused on Cultivating the Human-shaped Spirit Shadow, finally pushing it all the way up to the Emperor Realm.

With things developing like this, the two meridians were now completely held in balance.

After settling the balance issue, Sikong Jing continued to increase the power of his Human Meridian and Beast Veins.

Spiritual Battle Realm, Spirit Movement Realm, Shadow Control Realm, Sea Crossing Realm... all the way to the final Heavenly King Realm of the Spirit Martial Stage, and this time the two types of True Qi no longer needed to be ranked; both were maintained at the Heavenly King Realm.

Because the Human-shaped Spirit Shadow was still a bit stronger than the Beast-shaped Spirit Shadow, he was able to keep them under control.

Now, Sikong Jing could certainly begin charging toward the Emperor Martial Stage, and for him it would be easy.

With the Fierce Beast Meridian True Qi present, it would of course be simple.

But just as he was about to冲击 upward, something suddenly suppressed his True Qi—it was... the Spiritual Martial Lock.

A sharp light flashed in Sikong Jing’s eyes; he instantly withdrew all his True Qi and said, "I almost forgot about this thing."

The Spiritual Martial Lock pinned him down in the Spirit Martial Stage.

After reaching the Spirit Martial Peak, the Spiritual Martial Lock naturally began suppressing him.

Sikong Jing pondered briefly, then murmured, "Right now Cangyu Sect should believe I’ve been reduced to a pile of bones, but if I break the Spiritual Martial Lock now, Elder Ruan will definitely know at once."

"That would prove I’m still alive."

"And if I can even shatter the Spiritual Martial Lock, then Yinlu and the others will be in danger again."

As long as Sikong Jing broke the Spiritual Martial Lock, Cangyu Sect would know that the Demon Battle Heavenly Technique was capable of threatening the Spiritual Martial Lock and even the Emperor Martial Lock. They would definitely become desperate to force him out of the prison.

What method would they use?

Of course they would threaten him with Yinlu and Brother Daniu’s lives, forcing him to come out.

Thinking of this, Sikong Jing completely calmed all of his True Qi, then said, "Besides, the Demon Battle Heavenly Technique is a Demon Extermination Technique. Once I reach the Emperor Martial Stage, the scales on my body will start shedding more or less, and right now I can’t afford that."

"I’ll wait until the two-month deadline ends, and after the Absolute Formation Gate closes, then we’ll talk."

As soon as the Absolute Formation Gate shut, Yinlu and the others would be completely safe; Cangyu Sect would need three years before they could enter again.

"No, that’s not right. War Tiger said that in history there were Demons who broke the Emperor Martial Lock and reached the Holy Martial Stage, yet were still executed."

"Maybe breaking the Spiritual Martial Lock after the Absolute Formation Gate closes is still risky... And I also need to return to the Central Plains; the best method is to let senior War Tiger reach the Holy Martial Stage and carry me through the Desert Sea Absolute Array."

Same thing as before—without control of the Desert Sea Absolute Array, he was just an ordinary Demon here.

As for the Demon Puppets, could they take him back to the Central Plains?

Sikong Jing had gone out to ask about that during this period.

Black Demon’s setting for them was still the role of Guardians of Divine Demon Island—they couldn’t easily leave Divine Demon Island... and their powerful strength also came from the center of Divine Demon Island.

If they stayed away too long, they would directly shatter.

More importantly, the Demon Puppets had actually been tricked by Sikong Jing.

To quote that intact Demon Puppet: "Master of Ten Thousand Beasts, Black Demon Lord’s setting is that only once you reach the Divine Martial Stage can we guide you to Divine Demon Island. You had reached it before, but now you haven’t..."

"So aside from the center of Divine Demon Island, we cannot obey any of your commands."
