The Body-Tempering Martial Path Begins with Burning My Soul

In the far-flung wastelands, demons run rampant and martial artists hold sway. Human lives are as worthless as blades of grass. There are divine weapons that require the blood sacrifice of three thousand living people to awaken, and demonic blades that grant anyone the power of gods and demons. This is a world turned upside down, a world torn apart by war. Xu Yi, an extraterrestrial demon, awakens in the body of a living corpse. Facing this mysterious world, he realizes he may be different from the rest. Hidden deep in his soul is a divine ability that lets him deduce cultivation techniques by burning his soul. Xu Yi sighs. “Then let’s start by burning my soul.” Dingzhuang Art deduces Dingzhuang Force, increasing his vitality by thirty percent. Copper Skin Art deduces Copper Skin and Iron Bones, making his body impervious to blades and spears. Iron Sand Palm deduces Crimson Sun Palm, driving demons away. Shadowless Steps deduces Midair Steps, letting him float three zhang above the ground. And it seems these techniques have yet to reach their limits? Many years later, Xu Yi gazes at the reflection stretching thousands of zhang across the sky, lost in thought. Things seem to have spiraled out of control. Then he turns to a demon he has pinned into a corner and asks, “Do you think I’m scary?” The demon shakes its head vigorously. “Not at all, Your Majesty. You’ve just put on a little weight lately.” Xu Yi points toward the humans huddled far away and asks in confusion, “Then why do they look like they’re trembling?” “They’re just a little cold. They only need to put on a few more layers.” Xu Yi nods in satisfaction. “Good answer. As a reward, I’ll give your body one of my soul fragments.” “Thank you, sir, thank you… Huh?”
