Chapter 423 - 245: The Heart Scripture of Myriad Poisons Shocks the World! Rakshasa Kui Divine Skill Breaks Through Again!
Su Que stood up from the poison field and then used his lightweight skill to leave the Tang Sect ruins.
He thought, since the Heart Scripture of Myriad Poisons has now progressed to the 9th Realm Shocking, he might as well continue to enhance it in one go.
Back then, he followed Li Xuanji’s master to Miaojiang, absorbing the poisons from numerous toxic creatures there to enhance the Heart Scripture of Myriad Poisons.
He heard Li Xuanji’s master say that deep within Miaojiang, there is a Miaojiang Holy Land.
Inside the Holy Land, many exotic flowers and grasses containing extremely potent poisons are supposed to grow.
However, at that time, Li Xuanji’s master said there were extremely formidable experts in the Miaojiang Holy Land.
Therefore, he didn’t venture into the Miaojiang Holy Land to absorb the poisons from the exotic flowers and grasses there to enhance the Heart Scripture of Myriad Poisons.
Now, he has reached the Peak of Divine Realm, making it a suitable time to explore the Miaojiang Holy Land.
However, to be cautious, he decided to first cultivate the Tang Sect Divine Intent Diagram and the Rakshasa Kui Divine Skill, to further enhance his strength.
Then, he would explore the Miaojiang Holy Land and enhance the Heart Scripture of Myriad Poisons.
With this thought, he directly found a quiet and secluded courtyard in the back mountain of Tang Sect and began his cultivation.
He first cultivated the Tang Sect Divine Intent Diagram.
In the training room of this courtyard, he sat cross-legged and focused his mind on contemplating the Tang Sect Divine Intent Diagram.
A hellish landscape from the Tang Sect Divine Intent Diagram—a sea of fire—formed in his mind.
This sea of fire was burning with black flames, emitting an intense evil qi, very fitting for the Tang Sect, an Assassin Sect.
Su Que’s heart stirred, and he moved this sea of fire from his mind into his heart.
The new divine intent entering his heart caused his heart to start beating violently.
Cultivators can generally only integrate one set of Divine Intent Diagram into their bodies.
If multiple Divine Intent Diagrams are integrated, it will cause damage to the organs and apertures.
Now, this Tang Sect Divine Intent Diagram is the tenth set of Divine Intent Diagrams Su Que has integrated into his body.
This black-flame-burning sea of fire entered Su Que’s heart and immediately produced side effects on his heart.
However, cultivating the Divine Intent Diagram is also a form of practice.
Su Que is able to reverse the side effects that occur during practice.
This sea of fire, forcefully moved into his heart by Su Que.
He immediately felt a warm current explode in his heart.
He felt his heart was extremely comfortable.
This warm current continuously nourished his heart.
Making his heart muscles firmer and more resilient.
His heart began to beat more powerfully.
The blood in his blood vessels also surged more quickly.
If he focused and listened, he could hear the rushing sound of blood flowing within his body, like mighty rivers crashing.
After Su Que integrated the divine intent belonging to the heart into his body, he began to contemplate the divine intent of the organs and apertures within it.
More than three hours passed, and Su Que finally integrated all the divine intents from this set of Divine Intent Diagram into his body.
He used his spiritual power to introspect his whole body.
Inside his body, he found that besides the various majestic landscapes and star phenomena that were already there, a new hell had been added.
’The world within my body is becoming richer and more complete.’ Su Que thought to himself, then felt a moment’s urge and summoned his attributes.
A dense cluster of small words appeared before his eyes.
He looked at the area of remaining lifespan.
Name: Su Que (21 years old)
Remaining Lifespan: 2393
Talent Value: 477
After integrating the Tang Sect Divine Intent Diagram and reversing the side effects, his remaining lifespan increased by 20 years.
’Next, cultivating the Rakshasa Kui Divine Skill!’ Su Que recalled the cultivation method of Rakshasa Kui Divine Skill and practiced according to it.
With his breathing and Qi circulation, he quickly cultivated the first wisp of Rakshasa Kui Divine Skill True Qi in his body.
Then, he focused his mind on this wisp of True Qi, moving it along the cultivation route of the Rakshasa Kui Divine Skill, circulating it round after round.
This wisp of True Qi grew stronger.
Transforming from a wisp into a stream.
He glanced at his attributes.
Rakshasa Kui Divine Skill (1st Realm Initial Insight 30%)
His talent value is extremely high, and coupled with the Rakshasa Kui Divine Skill, which progresses speedily at the cost of lifespan, the progress was swift.
He looked again at his remaining lifespan.
Remaining lifespan: 2398
Because the Rakshasa Kui Divine Skill advanced by 1 realm, his remaining lifespan increased by 5 years.
He calmed his heart and spirit, continuing to channel the Rakshasa Kui Divine Skill True Qi within his body.
This Qi, as he channeled it, grew more robust and overbearing.
If it were any other cultivator, they would certainly be harmed by this Qi.
However, as this Qi flowed through his body, he could feel a comforting warmth wherever it passed.
Evidently, the side effects of the cultivation technique were reversed, and the overbearing Qi not only didn’t harm his body, but actually nourished it.

Rakshasa Kui Divine Skill (1st Realm Initial Insight 36%)
...
The progress in cultivating the Rakshasa Kui Divine Skill was accelerating rapidly.
About a stick of incense later, Su Que felt a new force erupting within his body, so he checked his attributes again.
Rakshasa Kui Divine Skill (3rd Realm: Ascension 1%)
’Another breakthrough!’
His heart stirred as he began to guide the force within his body.
Immediately, this force compelled the Rakshasa Kui True Qi to spread outward from his body.
It instantly formed a protective Qi force around his body.
This protective Qi force emitted a faint purple hue and its shape vaguely resembled a Rakshasa clad in armor.
’This should be what Li Xuanji mentioned, that when the Rakshasa Kui Divine Skill is cultivated to a certain degree, one can manifest the Rakshasa Battle Armor!’
Now, because the Rakshasa Kui Divine Skill is only at the 3rd Realm: Ascension, the defense of the battle armor isn’t very high yet.
However, as the realm of the Rakshasa Kui Divine Skill increases, the defense of the battle armor will improve accordingly.
’My defense, from the outside in, includes the Exotic Golden Bell Shield, Rakshasa Battle Armor, Myriad Poison True Qi Membrane, Withered Wood True Qi Membrane, Dark Evil Fist Protective Force, plus my resilient body.’
’It should be tough to break through my defense, right?’
With this thought in mind, Su Que calmed his heart and continued to cultivate the Rakshasa Kui Divine Skill.
After cultivating for another cup of tea’s time, Su Que suddenly felt the Rakshasa Kui Divine Skill had ascended another realm.
Rakshasa Kui Divine Skill (4th Realm Elite 1%)
Su Que felt his body growing warm, as the damage from the Rakshasa Kui Divine Skill was reversed, allowing his physical body to strengthen further.
Remaining lifespan: 2396
This breakthrough increased his lifespan by 8 years.
’It seems the deeper I cultivate the Rakshasa Kui Divine Skill, the more damage it does to the body!’
Su Que recalled what Li Xuanji once told him.
The Rakshasa Kui Divine Skill is said to have a saying called "Twenty-Seven Limits".
A martial artist, even when past twenty, continuously cultivating the Rakshasa Kui Divine Skill, most could not surpass twenty-seven years of age.
Usually, at the age of twenty-seven, the Rakshasa Kui Divine Skill of this martial artist nearly reaches its peak, simultaneously lifting his martial arts realm to a very high level.
And that martial artist, typically at the age of twenty-seven, becomes invincible in the world.
Simultaneously, they also die at the age of twenty-seven.
’I’m only twenty-one now, and twenty-seven seems too far away for me.’
’In a few more days, I’ll have this Rakshasa Kui Divine Skill reach its limit!’
Su Que amused himself in his thoughts.
According to Li Xuanji, the Rakshasa Kui Divine Skill is not just inner strength but also contains many martial arts techniques.
It includes Four Extremes, Two Dominations, One Extinction.
Four Extremes includes Ghost Axe Slash, Electric Light Grasp, Meteor Piercing, Firefly Bomb.
Two Dominations includes Nine Nether Sky Dominator, Nine Heavens Thunder Dominator.
One Extinction includes Celestial Destruction, Heaven and Earth Extinction, Heaven·Earth·Human Three Realm Extinction.
According to Li Xuanji, when the Rakshasa Kui Divine Skill is cultivated to a certain degree, these techniques can be performed one by one.
Su Que felt that with his current realm of Rakshasa Kui Divine Skill at 4th Realm Elite, he could perform the Four Extremes.
Thinking of this, Su Que suddenly stood up and began practicing the Four Extremes in the training room.
In the Four Extremes, Ghost Axe Slash is actually a hand saber; Electric Light Grasp is actually a claw technique; Meteor Piercing is actually a finger technique; Firefly Bomb is actually a fist technique.
Practicing the Four Extremes was actually a process of familiarizing himself with the overbearing True Qi born from the Rakshasa Kui Divine Skill.
Su Que wasn’t planning to use the Four Extremes as his main martial arts techniques.
He cultivated the Four Extremes because he wanted to integrate the Rakshasa Kui Divine Skill and the Four Extremes into his Seven Injuries Fist.
