The Heavenly Severing Steps has three major realms: Wind Movement, Cloud-Soaring, and Sky Traversal. These three major realms are further divided into nine minor realms: Entry, Minor Success, and Major Success.
Xiao Yan's cultivation of the Heavenly Severing Steps has progressed from the initial entry level to the minor completion of the Wind Movement Realm, all within just a few months.
As Xiao Yan's Heavenly Severing Steps slowly improved, his speed once allowed him to move freely among the Half-Emperor Half-Emperor, as if he were in an empty field.
However, as time went on, the Half-Emperor- emperors that Xiao Yan faced were no longer so easy to deal with. After some Seven-Star Half-Emperor used their Dou Technique, their speed was not much worse than Xiao Yan's.
Even when facing an Eight-Star Half-Emperor like Old Monster Hu, Xiao Yan already found it quite difficult and could no longer handle it as easily as before.
Xiao Yan was not surprised by this. His strength came from his Dou Technique, while those seven-star and eight-star Half-Emperor also possessed various impressive Dou Technique. Under their full power, Xiao Yan would naturally find it difficult to cope.
This world is fair. It's impossible for only Xiao Yan to obtain high-level Dou Technique. Power is not the exclusive right of any one person. Everything requires personal effort!
Unbeknownst to many, Xiao Yan had already set up a void arena above the Ancient Wilderness City for three days, during which time he received a constant stream of Xiao Yan.
In just three days, Xiao Yan had already taken on dozens of battles, and the vast majority of them were against Seven-Star Half-Emperor level experts.
There was no way around it; the temptation Xiao Yan offered was simply too tempting Void Lightning Pool Invitation was currently the most eye-catching item in the Wilderness. Anyone who obtained it would try every means to hide it to avoid bringing endless trouble upon themselves.
On the other hand, Xiao Yan did the opposite. Instead of hiding, he brazenly took out this thing that would make everyone envious, which was clearly intended to provoke people to make a mistake!
The requirement of exchanging a hundred blows drove everyone who heard the news crazy. As long as one could injure Xiao Yan within a hundred blows, they could obtain a Void Lightning Pool Invitation. This temptation was like a hot woman deliberately seducing a man. These guys, who were crazy for strength, would naturally rush forward all at once, as if the Void Lightning Pool Invitation was already theirs.
It remains to be seen whether their actions are a case of taking something for granted or like moths to a flame...
Within three days, Xiao Yan had fought almost every single Seven-Star Half-Emperor in the entire Ancient Wilderness City. This was an extremely energy-consuming and Dou Qi task. Fortunately, Xiao Yan's Spiritual Strength had reached the Late Emperor Realm, and coupled with his identity as Second-Tier Alchemist, he was able to recover his battle -Dou Qi Xiao Yan and Spiritual Strength in the shortest amount of time. His battles continued one after another.
While many challenged him, the fact that Xiao Yan was able to withstand dozens of battles and preserve the Void Lightning Pool Invitation demonstrates that no one was truly able to harm Xiao Yan during these three days of fighting.
Xiao Yan Xiao Yan, on the other hand, benefited from it all. Each battle not only brought him great gains, but also made him more adept at controlling the Heavenly Severing Steps.
With a mere thought, Xiao Yan Xiao Yan could teleport anywhere in the void. In an instant, he could teleport five times in succession and return to his original position, leaving behind clear and solid afterimages in the places he had teleported.
From the outside, it appeared as if five Xiao Yan had suddenly appeared in the void, while four of them, after a gust of wind, turned into distorted afterimages and gradually dissipated into the void.
Only then did everyone realize that the four Xiao Yan who suddenly appeared were actually afterimages. And with such terrifying speed, it was no wonder that Xiao Yan dared to boast in public.
However, even so, the battle continued...
The allure of the Void Lightning Pool Invitation is undeniably immense.
Even among those who challenged Xiao Yan, there were many who understood Xiao Yan strength, knew his speed was terrifying, and were well aware that their chances of harming Xiao Yan were extremely slim, yet they were still willing to give it a try...
Perhaps, I will just happen to be there when Xiao Yan is not in his best condition, and perhaps I will have a chance to hurt Xiao Yan Xiao Yan. I don't need to kill him, just to hurt him in the slightest, that would be enough.
Unfortunately, the moment they had been hoping for—a moment when Xiao Yan was out of sorts—never came.
As for launching a coordinated attack on Xiao Yan, that's even more unrealistic.
Putting aside the deep rifts among them, Xiao Yan alone, with his puppet, was enough to hold his own against most of them. Facing the Northern King, none of them were willing to fight him alone.
Moreover, standing behind Xiao Yan are the two most powerful forces in the Ancient Wilderness City: the Alchemist Guild and the Cloud-Hidden Pavilion. These people would not be foolish enough to become enemies with the Cloud-Hidden Pavilion.
Over the course of a few days, Xiao Yan had amassed over a million Spirit Coin, an amount that was considered extremely impressive among Half-Emperor level experts.
Among these people, what surprised Xiao Yan the most was that there were even those who used Lightning Invitation as stakes, which added three more Lightning Invitation to Xiao Yan's wealth over the past three days.
In other words, Xiao Yan now possesses four more Lightning Invitation Lightning Invitation after excluding his own, while the total number of people who can enter the Void Lightning Pool is only thirty.
Now, one-sixth of the thirty Void Lightning Pool Invitation have fallen into Xiao Yan's hands. It's hard to imagine what kind of scene Xiao Yan would face if the people in the city found out about this!
Fortunately, on the fourth day, Xiao Yan's Heavenly Severing Steps finally achieved the long-awaited breakthrough!
Xiao Yan successfully advanced from the Lesser Completion stage to the Greater Completion stage by using the Heavenly Severing Steps Wind Movement First Realm, which means that his speed will increase dramatically once again!
While breaking through, Xiao Yan took the opportunity to demonstrate the changes he had undergone.
The Heavenly Severing Steps allowed Xiao Yan to face Seven-Star Half-Emperor without any of his previous concerns. In fact, Xiao Yan even stripped the Seven-Star Half-Emperor of his robes in front of everyone, which enraged the latter. If it weren't for the limitations of his strength, Xiao Yan Xiao Yan probably have been torn to pieces by the other party long ago.
With the speed of Seven-Star Half-Emperor, every move Xiao Yan makes is enough for Xiao Yan to repeat. At this speed, Xiao Yan could easily crush any Eight-Star Half-Emperor in one hit.
As the fifth day passed, Xiao Yan's smile became even brighter, because by this time, he had two more Void Lightning Pool Invitation in his hand, meaning that Xiao Yan now possessed a total of seven Void Lightning Pool Invitation!
Seven Thunder Tokens—enough to set the entire Ancient Wilderness City abuzz in an instant. Xiao Yan, Xiao Yan, carefully put them away, his face remaining calm, as if he had never taken any extra Lightning Invitation. But in his heart, however, he was already beaming with excitement.
The seven Void Lightning Pool Invitation will be another huge fortune for Xiao Yan!
