Chapter 483: Hurricane Kick and Vicious Prison Finger

Xiang Shaoyun's long black hairs started whipping about as his eyes shone like a pair of bright suns. He had an unrivaled bearing about him, making him look like the son of a god. A faint aura rippled out of him, allowing him to completely ignore the gravity field.

He then vanished, as if he had transformed into a gust of wind, and instantly reappeared at the bewildering shell devil's flank. A radiant saber energy shot out of the Overlord Skyslaying Saber, accurately striking a tiny opening on the bewildering shell devil's shell, slicing it apart and killing it.

This was a Devil Emperor whose superiority was defense. Yet a seventh-stage Skysoar Realm cultivator had killed this very beast with one hit. Nobody would believe this without personally witnessing it.

Of course, if Xiang Shaoyun had to fight the bewildering shell devil head on, he would have to spare no small amount of effort to kill it. But with his gift of instincts, he had long found the bewildering shell devil's weakness. The devil was protected by layers of shell, but there were tiny openings in the layers, and these were weak points as well.

That was how he had been able to accomplish an astonishing feat of killing it with one hit. Killing this bewildering shell devil emperor had granted him 20,000 contribution points. That wasn't surprising, as the stronger the devil one killed, the more contribution points one could gain. Since Xiang Shaoyun was already a genuine War Emperor, it was possible he could really accumulate enough contribution points in half a year.

After killing the bewildering shell devil emperor, he dragged its corpse into the Nether Soul Domain to feed the ghostrunes. Currently, the ghostrune patriarch was already a third-stage Devil Emperor. He had grown rapidly after consuming the blood and devil core of the devil wind beast patriarch.

With the growth of the ghostrunes, Xiang Shaoyun was starting his plan to transform them into a powerful army. The large supply of devils here in the Devil Domain would serve as fodder for this army of ghostrunes.

Xiang Shaoyun was in no rush to go anywhere. Before this, he had only been rushing so he could find a chance to expose and deal with Huo Xudong. Now that he was alone, he could focus on cultivating some battle techniques to further increase his combat prowess.

After all, as he grew in strength, some of his battle techniques were no longer suited for his current cultivation level, such as Star Destroying Finger, Gold Helix Fist, and the other low-level techniques. Using them would only greatly affect his offensive prowess.

After obtaining the yin devil wind, his power of wind had grown greatly. Thus, now would be the time to cultivate a wind elemental battle technique. He already had one newly created technique, Wind and Lightning. This was a battle technique utilizing both the powers of wind and lightning, something he created by accident in his thoughtless state. It possessed the strength to be his trump card.

However, that one technique was not enough for him. Trump cards would generally exhaust a large amount of energy upon usage. Furthermore, a trump card was definitely something extremely powerful and would be a great choice against an opponent one needed to kill, but it was too powerful to be used in a normal spar.

Xiang Shaoyun searched his brain for the numerous battle techniques he had memorized, and he soon stopped at a tier-5 technique called Hurricane Kick. This was an emperor-grade technique, and although it was classified as a lower tier-5 technique, it was enough for now. After all, the Ziling Sect did not have too many of these unique battle techniques collected. Of the ones he knew, this one was most suitable for him currently.

After reaching a certain degree of mastery over the Hurricane Kick, one would be able to unleash a hurricane with each kick. The stronger one was, the stronger the hurricane would be. If an Emperor used this technique, the created hurricane would be powerful enough to easily destroy several mountains at once.

Of course, destructiveness was not the greatest advantage of Hurricane Kick. Its main advantage was its efficiency in group battles. By unleashing hurricanes during a group battle, one could throw the battlefield into chaos and find an opening to kill one's enemies amid the chaos.

Having made up his mind, Xiang Shaoyun started studying the technique's essence and key points. He had always been one with great comprehension ability, and after his Nether Soul Domain turned corporeal, his soul power had also grown greatly, granting him comprehension comparable to a top-tier Emperor.

It took Xiang Shaoyun less than one day to fully understand the key points of this emperor-grade technique, and he was ready to start cultivating it. And with the help of the wind energy within his body, he was able to quickly obtain an initial mastery over the Hurricane Kick.

Instead of stopping somewhere to focus on cultivating this technique, he planned to continue fighting the devils while comprehending it. That way, he would be able to master this technique faster.

The Devil Domain was filled with devils, and Xiang Shaoyun had frequent devil encounters as he traveled. He started his cultivation through battle. Initially, each kick of his was extremely stiff as he was still very unfamiliar with the technique.

As he battled on, he started being able to control his legs like his hands. He was also starting to create sharp blades of wind through kicking. However, these blades of wind weren't exactly powerful as they could only harm late-stage Devil Kings.

After two days, Xiang Shaoyun was no longer creating wind blades when he kicked. Rather, he was creating true hurricanes formed of spiraling wind blades, seemingly capable of ripping everything apart. The prowess of his kicks had grown considerably.

"At complete mastery, I might be able to create a storm as powerful as the storm created by yin devil wind with one kick. Even if I can't create a storm that powerful, it won't be that much weaker either," muttered Xiang Shaoyun as his comprehension on the technique increased.

He was one who was once trapped in the storm created by the yin devil wind. He was equipped with the knowledge of the flow of wind, and combined with the yin devil wind he had in him, cultivating the Hurricane Kick wasn't something hard for him.

Generally, even an Emperor would take between one to three months to reach initial mastery over an emperor-grade technique. And yet, Xiang Shaoyun had only taken three days. One ought to admit that he was truly a genius cultivator.

Today, after killing a random Devil King, Xiang Shaoyun stopped for a short break. It was not that he was tired, but he was going to cultivate a different battle technique. Some high-level cultivators would probably say that he was biting more than he can chew if they knew what he was doing here.

However, Xiang Shaoyun did not care. Each of his stars contained a different power. If he did not have a corresponding battle technique for each element, he would not be able to fully unleash their prowess.

Since he was going to stop using the Gold Helix Fist, he needed a new gold elemental battle technique. Soon, he decided on a tier-5 battle technique called the Vicious Prison Finger. This was both a gold elemental battle technique and a finger battle technique. Thus, it could serve as a replacement for both Star Destroying Finger and Gold Helix Fist.

To cultivate the Vicious Prison Finger, one needed to have tough finger bones and gold energy laced with vicious energy. If one met both requirements, one would have access to extremely destructive attacks, as if one could pierce the blue dome of heaven and break the prison that was this world with a jab of one's finger. At full mastery, one would be able to kill even a high-level Emperor with a single jab.

Since Xiang Shaoyun had cultivated a finger technique before, his finger bones definitely met the requirement. And with the existence of the vicious gold energy in his star, he met the second requirement as well. Cultivating this technique would not be hard for him.

And thus, Xiang Shaoyun started focusing on cultivating the Vicious Prison Finger. He took even less time cultivating the Vicious Prison Finger. After about a day and a half, he already reached an initial mastery over it. With one jab, he was able to kill a peak devil armored rhinoceros king, which was known for its powerful defenses.
