Chapter 4: Chapter 004: Heavenly Emperor Slayer, Breaking Prison Technique
Sikong Jing's confusion and doubts finally turned into an indifferent smile.
Thinking of the deep-seated hatred for Yan Tianmo and Yan Ruyu, and thinking of Su Yuexi's camaraderie in protection...
Sikong Jing could no longer care about so much.
What of being the Master of Ten Thousand Beasts? What of transforming into a demon beast? At this point, there was no turning back!
Looking at the sky filled with demon beasts, he blurted out, "Although I am human, now I am the Master of Ten Thousand Beasts, willing to save you all."
As soon as these words were spoken, heaven and earth fell silent, and the myriad beasts made no sound!
After a while, the first golden Divine Dragon that appeared breathed out and said, "A mere human still foolishly wishes to save us, ignorant and laughable. See if you can cultivate our jointly created 'Emperor Beheading Technique' first."
As the words fell, golden chapters emerged amidst the clouds, extremely complicated.
Then, one character after another floated up, imprinting deeply in Sikong Jing's mind, lingering persistently.
Sikong Jing's entire body shook violently.
Upon first reading the 'Emperor Beheading Technique,' he could feel the tumult in his Dantian as a violent and ruthless True Qi was about to break out from its shell.
He could be sure that this was an extremely powerful Cultivation Technique.
"Complete the 'Emperor Beheading Technique,' and only then will we consider acknowledging you as our master," the Golden Divine Dragon uttered with its Dragon Breath, its voice deep and solemn.
The myriad beasts, bound by chains, stared intently at Sikong Jing, with ridicule, resentment, and a hint of expectation in their eyes.
Sikong Jing took a deep breath and said, "I have a question."
"Human, before we acknowledge you, we will not answer any questions regarding the Ten Thousand Beasts Sky Prison. Leave now," the Golden Divine Dragon said harshly, its attitude extremely hostile.
Nonetheless, Sikong Jing still asked, "My question is, how can the Crimson Spider Poison be cured?"
The Crimson Spider Poison was extracted from the demon beast, the Crimson Spider, which was present in the Ten Thousand Beasts Sky Prison as a terribly shaped spider. Its name unknown, Sikong Jing posed this question.
All the great beasts fell silent again, their eyes filled with strange expressions.
A normal person would have asked why they were trapped here, or what the Ten Thousand Beasts Sky Prison was like, wouldn't they?
This human instead asked such a technically unchallenging question.
It was simply bringing down our dignity.
That moment, the terrifying giant spider spoke in a woman's voice, "The Crimson Spider is but an inferior demon beast. As one who absorbs the Blood of Ten Thousand Beasts, you only need to reach the Bright Realm Ninth Layer to use your blood to detoxify."
The Golden Divine Dragon nodded and said, "Any Beast Poison is useless against the Master of Ten Thousand Beasts."
Sikong Jing showed a joyful expression, cupping his fists in thanks, "Many thanks, I take my leave."
As they watched Sikong Jing disappear, the Ten Thousand Beasts Sky Prison fell quiet; the beasts looked at the Golden Divine Dragon and asked, "Why give him the 'Emperor Beheading Technique'?"
This Technique was created through their collective effort, perfected over a hundred thousand years, and was prepared for the true Master of Ten Thousand Beasts.
Its full name should be: Heavenly Emperor Slayer, Breaking Prison Technique!
However, giving it to him now might be inappropriate, as this human could very possibly be a scheme of the Five Heavenly Emperors.
The beasts were puzzled.
The Golden Divine Dragon replied with a profound gaze, "If he is an ordinary human, cultivating it will undoubtedly lead to death... If he achieves Great Success, he will surely develop a Beast Heart, and will not bow to the Five Heavenly Emperors. Naturally, he can become our master."
The myriad beasts, awed, quietly disappeared into the ground.
Meanwhile, Sikong Jing's consciousness returned to the thatched hut.
"To cultivate the 'Emperor Beheading Technique' and reach the Bright Realm Ninth Layer to use my blood to cure the Crimson Spider Poison—I'll start my cultivation!"
In the Great Shang Dynasty, the realms of Martial Artists are divided into the Bright Realm, Dark Realm, Human Realm, Earth Realm, Heaven Realm... with each realm having nine layers.
The above are the Five Mortal Martial Realms, followed by the Transcendent Fifth Realm!
Before Sikong Jing was crippled by Yan Tianmo, he had already reached the Peak State of the Transcendent Fifth Realm. He was only one step away from breaking through Transcendence and entering a higher and stronger realm.
Now, although he had rebuilt his Dantian with the help of the Blood of Ten Thousand Beasts, he had to start from the beginning and cultivate again.
But the Little Ming Realm was no challenge for Sikong Jing.
The only problem was whether he could adapt to the 'Emperor Beheading Technique'. However, no matter what, Sikong Jing had to return to his Peak Realm, go back to the Great Shang Imperial City, and take the heads of Yan Tianmo and Yan Ruyu.
Once I was utterly loyal, giving everything for Great Shang, but now I am willing to turn into an Asura, to sever all humiliation!
Sitting cross-legged, Sikong Jing carefully studied the Cultivation Technique.
The deeper he understood, the more he felt like a frog at the bottom of the well. The strongest Cultivation Technique of Great Shang, that he had cultivated in the past, was like trash compared to this 'Emperor Beheading Technique'.
"However, this is clearly designed for demon beasts. I wonder what changes it will bring to me, a human?" Sikong Jing laughed mockingly after speaking as he had nothing to worry about in his current state.
Entering the cultivation state, his True Qi just began to flow. The Dantian, like a massive beast's head, started to vibrate, as True Qi swiftly circulated throughout his body. Sikong Jing opened his eyes, "Bright Realm first layer."
He closed his eyes, and continued cultivating!
Half a moment later, Sikong Jing opened his eyes again, "Bright Realm Second Layer."
He closed his eyes again...
The next instant, a roar of rage came from outside the hut, "Su Yuexi, you have some nerve! You dare to sever the limbs of my loyal servants. Are you seeking death?"
Sikong Jing reopened his eyes, his face cold as he stood up and strode out of the thatched hut.
