"Dragon Turtle Shatters a Thousand Waves!"

The dragon turtle swayed its body with a seemingly clumsy yet skillful movements, and before the Steel Titan could intervene, it bit the God of Blacksmiths. Its powerful Yao Qi impacted the divine power shield, causing cracks to appear and the shield to shatter on the verge of breaking.

The Steel Titan swung its heavy arm and slammed it down on the tortoise shell, trying to disperse the Demon Power. However, it was suddenly struck from below, tripped, and fell face-first to the ground. It was Si Ming who had tackled the forty-meter-tall mechanical giant to the ground with a sliding tackle.

The next moment, the dragon turtle closed its mouth and bit down hard.

"His progress is incredibly rapid; he truly deserves to be called the Chosen One. At this rate, he'll complete the first stage of Martial Form in less than a month and enter the second stage, 'Transformation and Application,' gaining special characteristics and soul skills. The Domain Lord of that Soul Artifact is only a fourth-grade Martial Form; the Chosen One's third-grade Martial Form is more than enough to suppress him."

The village chief stroked his beard with satisfaction, looking at He Qichang diligently practicing in the hut, his eyes filled with hope.

After more than a hundred years, I can finally fulfill my great-great-great-grandfather's last wish!

"Since we've already waited over a hundred years, a little longer won't make a difference. Let's wait another half month, allowing the chosen one to further convert the power of the Martial Form. This will increase our chances of victory. This is the prudent approach. With a companion of the fourth-rank Martial Form, victory in this battle is assured... In fifty days, our entire village will be able to leave this Spirit Domain!"

Just as he was feeling pleased, Er Zhuang ran over, panting, and said, "Village chief, the outsider you asked me to keep an eye on has disappeared."

"Gone! Where did they go? Did they go to find the Domain Lord and commit suicide?"

The village chief thought about it. Although he felt that the boy was disrespectful and reckless, he was still a companion of the chosen one. If he died, it might affect the chosen one's mood and make him eager for revenge, which would ruin his plans.

Er Zhuang said, "It shouldn't be suicide. He said he was going to be a scout, to test the strength of the domain lord and gather intelligence."

"So he went to gather intelligence. Looks like he has some self-awareness and isn't a complete idiot." The village chief snorted twice.

"Village chief, can we really leave this place?"

"Of course, the prophecy makes it very clear that as long as the chosen one appears, they will be able to defeat the domain lord, so we just need to wait patiently..."

He looked up at the sky and was horrified to find that the power of the Spirit Domain was beginning to dissipate!

"How could this be? The chosen one hasn't even made a move yet?"

Er Zhuang stammered, "This... Village Chief, it seems the prophecy didn't say that the chosen one defeated the Domain Lord."

Chapter 521 Vacuum Zero-Energy Furnace

After the God of Blacksmiths disappeared, he left behind a hammer that shone with divine light. It was clearly no ordinary item. Si Ming held it in his hand and weighed it a few times. He thought that it would be quite good as a weapon. But then he thought that his own Wheel-Turning King Sword could also be used as Soul Artifact, so it didn't seem unreasonable.

With the death of the domain lord and the shattering of the Spirit Domain, the power covering the surrounding area began to dissipate. As a result, the night disappeared and the day returned. The Yao Qi that had been imprisoned in this place also began to spread outward. The Steel Titan stopped moving and stood still like a tall tower.

He thought that without the Yao Qi binding him, the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi would return, but after sensing it, Si Ming discovered that the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi here was mixed with the Evil Qi of the Five Turbidities energies, just like polluted water. After being absorbed into his body, it would have no effect in the short term, but over time it would harm his Cultivation Body.

Moreover, the Evil Qi of the Five Turbidities is similar to "inert gas," unlike Yao Qi or Devil Qi. It does not belong to the category of Spiritual Qi and cannot be used to activate Cultivation Method. Its presence dilutes the concentration of Spiritual Qi to one-tenth, which is not as good as the situation when it was filled with Yao Qi. At least Yao Qi can be absorbed and transformed before it can be used as True Qi. It's just an extra step that inevitably wastes time. But now there is no Spiritual Qi to absorb, so there is no time to waste.

"It really is a post-apocalyptic wasteland. Not only is the natural environment polluted, but even the Spiritual Qi is contaminated."

Si Ming shook his head, not thinking about it any further. In any case, this wasn't his territory, so there was no need to be so petty or make distinctions. The Heavenly Martial Alliance was a much better fit for a base.

Turning his head, he saw Xu Zhengyi leap into the air and unleash eight kicks in mid-air. Although the priest blocked them all, Xu Zhengyi immediately used the momentum to flip over, head down and feet up, striking with both hands, smashing through his opponent's defense. His fist struck the top of the head, and the priest staggered, bleeding from all seven orifices, and fell to the ground dead.

"Well done," Si Ming praised.

Xu Zhengyi shook his head and said, "If he hadn't been seriously injured and could only use one arm, I would never have been his match... Of course, it's also thanks to my master's excellent teaching."

"Master leads you through the door, but cultivation depends on yourself. That's the style of our lineage. Everything depends on your own efforts. I've left you the Cultivation Method; how you practice them is up to you." Si Ming tossed the iron hammer to the other party. "Since you call me master, I can't treat you unfairly. This is for you."

Xu Zhengyi hurriedly declined, saying, "The Domain Lord was destroyed by Master alone. This Soul Artifact should rightfully be Master's spoils of war. How could I possibly lay a finger on it?"

"Take it. I can't use it anyway. I just tried it, and it didn't work at all. I guess I don't have the corresponding Spirit Root."

Si Ming didn't feel any regret at all. The Barbarian Continent had no choice but to choose the Martial Form system due to environmental changes, while the Sea Continent had better options. There was no need to pick up a sesame seed and lose a watermelon.

Although Martial Form's integration into the sea of consciousness can be attributed to personal power, it is still separated by a layer and inevitably has the appearance of being an external force. It cannot compare to the Internal Cultivation martial arts Dao Body where all Divine Ability originate from oneself. Even though Martial Form seems to be able to improve his strength quickly, Si Ming does not feel envious.

It's fine to have a little exposure and broaden one's horizons, but it's better to avoid studying another martial Dao Body. He doesn't have the energy for that. This is different from learning from Cultivation Method within the same system or embracing diverse styles. It's not like he's stuck on a bottleneck in his original cultivation and has to seek alternative methods.

The main road is right ahead, so running along it is the right thing to do. Even if there are beautiful views on another side road, just take a look and appreciate them; there's no need to skip over and run on the side road.

Xu Zhengyi looked at the hammer and said with distress, "My disciple, who has no Spirit Root, has even less chance of obtaining Martial Form from it."

"If you can't use it yourself, you can give it to your companions, or at the very least, use it for trading. Martial Form is a thing of the Barbarian Continent, and it will be more effective in your hands. Remember, the martial arts I pass on to you can only be used as an aid. Unless you have no future on the path of Martial Form, you must distinguish between primary and Martial Form. Martial Arts is the mainstream method here. If you encounter any questions about Martial Form cultivation, you can ask someone for advice, but if you encounter any questions about Internal Cultivation, you have to figure it out yourself. You have to learn to weigh which path is more suitable for you."

"If I have any questions, I can ask you, Master."

"I'm sorry, my visa for staying here seems to be expiring soon."

Si Ming pointed downwards, and there he saw a spatial array appear beneath his feet, slowly operating, causing his figure to gradually become blurred.

"It seems that person won't let me stay any longer. However, I've memorized the signs here. If fate allows, we'll meet again. I hope that next time I see you, you'll have become a savior. Remember, it's better to take the direct path than the roundabout one."

"Master!"

Before he could stop him, a burst of light shot up from below, and Si Ming's figure vanished.

In a moment of distraction, when Si Ming regained his senses, the scene before him had changed, and he was back in the mountain cave. At the same time, Murong Qing and He Qichang also returned.

"Hey, now that we've completed the mission, where's the promised reward?" Si Ming shouted.

In no time, the task settlement interface appeared before my eyes, just like the game I played in my previous life, with numbers jumping around incessantly, full of wicked humor.
