Chapter 3007: Combating Past and Present Translator: Legge “There are secret skills that increase the combat strength of one’s physique and bloodline in the Sanguine Ape World as well. However, they’re far inferior to the Combat Totem. This is a powerful secret skill that can help us fight those of a higher cultivation realm!1‘ Monkey said, “Back then, Great Emperor Combat was invincible and established an era because he relied on the Combat Totem.” “Increase the combat strength of my physique and bloodline?” Su Zimo murmured softly. Monkey continued, “The Combat Soul is the foundation of the Combat Totem. If you cultivate this secret skill continuously, the Combat Soul will grow with it and increase your combat strength.” Rumble! A tremor sounded from the second wall and countless dust and gravel fell, revealing another lifelike relief sculpture. Su Zimo and Monkey turned around. Apart from the relief sculpture of Great Emperor Combat on the second wall, countless cultivators of different races surrounded him. There were the Dragon race that soared through the clouds, the God race that shone brightly, the Heavenly Eye race that was born with the Heavenly Eye and the gigantic Kun race… On the tall wall, the ten thousand races surrounded Great Emperor Combat. Behind Great Emperor Combat, a Combat Soul that was a thousand feet tall condensed. It looked identical to him and had a violent aura. It was roaring at the ten thousand races with a torrential battle intent! Although the relief sculpture was in a still state, Su Zimo and Monkey seemed to be able to see experts of the ten thousand races joining forces and launching violent attacks against Great Emperor Combat! Below the relief sculpture were five words. Combating the Ten Thousand Races! Such boldness! Throughout history, Great Emperor Combat was probably the only one who dared to fight against the ten thousand races singlehandedly! Suddenly, the relief sculpture of Great Emperor Combat opened its eyes and looked at Su Zimo and Monkey. The two of them separated once more and entered different spaces. Su Zimo faced Great Emperor Combat once more. The two of them were still of the same cultivation realm. However, a thousand-foot-tall Combat Soul appeared behind Great Emperor Combat! This time round, Su Zimo could clearly sense that the increase in Great Emperor Combat’s combat strength was even more obvious. Earlier on, it had only increased by two times. Now, the combat strength of Great Emperor Combat had already increased by four times! Of course, a fourfold increase in combat strength was not much of a threat to Su Zimo. He released Four Heads Eight Arms and controlled the Duckweed Sword and many other spirit treasures and Dharmic weapons. Coupled with one or two peerless divine powers, he defeated Great Emperor Combat easily. Su Zimo left the space once more. After two exchanges, Su Zimo had a rough understanding of the Combat Totem. This Taboo Mystic Classic could increase the physique, bloodline and Essence Spirit power of cultivators. Once a hundred-foot Combat Soul was condensed, one’s combat strength could be doubled. Once the Combat Soul grew to a thousand feet, it would advance to a second level and one’s combat strength could increase by four times. From the looks of it, there did not seem to be anything special about the secret skill. Right now, Su Zimo possessed a peerless divine power that could increase his combat strength. After releasing the Eight Tusk Divine Strength, his combat strength could even increase by eight times! Under normal circumstances, it was enough to cultivate one Dharmic formulation to increase combat strength. Even if the two secret skills were released at the same time, they could not be stacked. Of course, Su Zimo knew in his heart that since it was a Taboo Mystic Classic, it should not be that simple. Monkey had yet to break free from the space of the second relief sculpture and Su Zimo waited patiently at the side. He was not worried about Monkey’s situation. According to his guess, the inheritance of Great Emperor Combat was similar to a test. As long as Monkey could clear Great Emperor Combat, he could escape from that space. As expected. Seven days later, Monkey woke up. He looked extremely tired and had expended a lot of energy. The two of them recuperated for a few days and only walked towards the third relief sculpture after recovering. On the third relief sculpture, there was only the back view of Great Emperor Combat. Compared to the first two relief sculptures, Great Emperor Combat looked even stronger and burly. Be it in terms of size or age, he was already at his peak! Beneath Great Emperor Combat was the boundless starry skies. Behind him was a Combat Soul that was ten thousand feet tall. It looked down at the world with an arrogant expression. At the bottom of the third relief sculpture were three words. Combating the Universe. Right then, Great Emperor Combat turned around and glanced at the two of them. The two of them entered the strange space once more. This time round, Su Zimo was up against Great Emperor Combat whose combat strength had increased by eight times! Even he felt a hint of pressure. Su Zimo did not dare to be careless. He released the Eight Tusk Divine Strength and increased his combat strength by eight times as well. Thereafter, he fought Great Emperor Combat. Great Emperor Combat was indeed abnormally brave. Even against Su Zimo who controlled nine peerless divine powers, he was fearless and released violent attacks. The two of them fought back and forth. Su Zimo only defeated Great Emperor Combat after he made use of the state of the Four Heads Eight Arms to release nine peerless divine powers. After leaving the space, Su Zimo fell into deep thought. The first level of the Combat Totem, the Combat Soul, increased combat strength by two times. The second level, Combating the Ten Thousand Races, increased combat strength by four times. The third level, Combating the Universe, increased combat strength by eight times. If there was a fourth level, there was a high chance that there would be a qualitative transformation and his combat strength would increase by 16 times! This time round, Monkey stayed in that space for an even longer period of time —ten years. After all, not everyone was like Su Zimo who could clear Great Emperor Combat’s eight times increase in combat strength with relative ease. After Monkey recuperated for a while, the two of them walked towards the fourth relief sculpture. On the fourth relief sculpture, Great Emperor Combat turned incomparably pale and the fur on his body was grayish-white. Only his blood-colored eyes were still emitting a strong fighting spirit! Behind Great Emperor Combat, the Combat Soul was already a hundred thousand feet tall! On the stone wall, Great Emperor Combat stood on a quietly flowing river and allowed the river to wash over his body. The fourth relief sculpture, Combating Past and Present. The two of them entered the strange space once more. As Su Zimo had expected, the combat strength of the Great Emperor Combat he was up against this time round had increased by 16 times! Even if he released all his trump cards, nine peerless divine powers and the two Grotto-heaven phantoms of the Yin Yang Grotto-heaven and Zenith Heaven Sword Tomb, he would not be able to defeat Great Emperor Combat. Great Emperor Combat smashed his Grotto-heaven phantom into pieces and it dissipated on the spot. The first battle between the two of them ended in a crushing defeat for Su Zimo. Su Zimo recuperated and fought Great Emperor Combat once more. In the second battle, he still suffered a crushing defeat. They exchanged blows time and again and he was defeated time and again as well… In this space, Su Zimo was beaten continuously by Great Emperor Combat. He could no longer remember how many times he had lost. However, as time passed and Great Emperor Combat hammered him continuously, the four relief sculptures from before flashed through his mind and a realization gradually appeared in his heart. The so-called Combat Soul was condensed with one’s Combat Intent as the foundation and the power of the Essence Spirit! The stronger the Combat Intent, the stronger the Combat Soul and the greater the increase in combat strength for cultivators!
