"Ah!" Faced with Xing Peng's sudden and bizarre change, Xiang Wentian couldn't react in time. His complexion instantly turned ashen, as the formidable claw force hit his head without any delay. With a "pfft!" sound, his head burst like a cracked watermelon, spraying out a large amount of brain matter and blood.
After Xing Peng killed Xiang Wentian with a palm strike, an extremely exhilarating reaction suddenly originated from his hand. The hand that penetrated Xiang Wentian's skull felt a surge of intense energy pouring into his fingers, then rapidly into his body, directly into his dantian, causing his Profound Qi to surge.
Although Xing Peng knew in his previous life that by using claw force to shatter a martial artist's skull, one could absorb a portion of the other's power, he had never used such a method to harm others before. Therefore, he had never experienced what it was like to absorb someone else's power for his own use. Now, in this different world, after he had slain a Heaven Level martial artist for the first time, he deeply understood why those who practiced 'Elemental Storm' enjoyed using their claw force to destroy others' skulls. This sensation of absorbing others' power for his own use was incredibly satisfying, akin to the feeling of smoking marijuana.
"This effect of absorbing others' power for my own use, although it can't absorb others' power entirely like the legendary 'North Ming Divine Art' or 'Star Absorbing Technique', having such a method allows me to learn other martial arts faster," Xing Peng muttered to himself. In the ancient martial arts of his previous life's memories, many martial arts required tremendous power to push and learn. Without enough power, one couldn't learn them, and even if one did, the displayed power wouldn't be strong. But now, with such a method, Xing Peng had extremely strong confidence that given a very short period, he could learn all the martial arts techniques in his mind and practice them to a decent level.
Xing Peng's current main practice was 'Elemental Storm', an overview of ancient martial arts. Although 'Elemental Storm' was considered quite good among ancient martial arts, there were many in Xing Peng's memories that were not inferior to 'Elemental Storm'. One of them, named 'Formless Divine Art', was what Xing Peng most wanted to learn. Because by learning this art, one could easily simulate other martial arts for one's own use, which was considered very abnormal in the martial arts world.
However, although the 'Formless Divine Art' was powerful, the cultivation requirements for practitioners were also very high. Those without enough power simply couldn't learn such an art. Not only could they not learn it, but it might also lead to practitioners becoming demonically possessed. And people with insufficient talent and comprehension couldn't learn it either.
In his previous life, although Xing Peng had cultivated to the level of an Innate Martial Artist, it wasn't because his talent was that impressive, but rather because the 'I Ching Bone Tempering' section of 'Elemental Storm' had improved his innate talent, allowing him to reach the innate level. When he was about to dominate the end of the law era as an Innate Martial Artist and was preparing to cultivate the 'Formless Divine Art', he was transported to this different world.

After arriving in this different world, Xing Peng still had a strong interest in the 'Formless Divine Art'. However, because his current body had the 'Shadow God Vein', he dared not rashly practice the 'Formless Divine Art' before having sufficient power.
The stronger the power, the stronger the force displayed by the 'Formless Divine Art', which was a unique art of the ancient martial sect 'Carefree Sect'. In the Carefree Sect, those who practiced the 'Formless Divine Art' also needed to practice the 'North Ming Divine Art' to achieve great success. Among the many martial arts in Xing Peng's memories, there was no 'North Ming Divine Art'. Although one could still cultivate the 'Formless Divine Art' without learning the 'North Ming Divine Art', the 'Formless Divine Art' without the support of the 'North Ming Divine Art' simply couldn't compare. The contrast between the two was very significant, with no comparability at all.
There was once a martial arts grandmaster named Jiumozhi who had the chance to practice the 'Formless Divine Art' without the 'North Ming Divine Art'. Although his powerful power allowed him to cultivate the 'Formless Divine Art' to a certain extent, he ended up being defeated by the Carefree Sect's leader, Xuzhu, who possessed the 'North Ming Divine Art'. Moreover, because of the forced practice, he became demonically possessed and eventually had all his power sucked away by others.
It was due to a series of reasons like these that Xing Peng had put off learning the 'Formless Divine Art'. But now, confirming that the 'Nine Yin God Claw' could absorb others' Profound Qi for his own use, Xing Peng was ready to learn this art.
As long as he learned this art, his strength would surely increase significantly in a short period, and from then on, his ability to practice this world's martial arts would also undoubtedly become faster.
Shangguan Meiyu, who was beside him, was full of surprise when she saw Xing Peng quickly kill Xiang Wentian, who possessed late Heaven Level strength. Her beautiful eyes shone with a different light.
Although Xing Peng had already demonstrated very impressive strength along the way, seeing him kill someone with the strength of a late Heaven Level martial artist with the 'Axe of Hell', Shangguan Meiyu couldn't help but wonder in her heart what level Xing Peng's strength had reached.
"Peng brother, let me pinch you, wow, it's really amazing! A Heaven Level martial artist has fallen at your hand!" Shangguan Meiyu excitedly approached Xing Peng, her slender hand quickly reaching for Xing Peng's face.
Because Xing Peng wasn't on guard against Shangguan Meiyu, he was pinched squarely on the face, immediately causing a lot of black lines to appear. Although being touched by a beautiful woman was nice, this was a bit too much...
Shangguan Meiyu didn't see the black lines on Xing Peng's forehead; she was completely immersed in excitement, her little hands touching Xing Peng's body, turning his handsome face red, and internally he sighed that his heart's capacity for endurance was insufficient. Being touched randomly by such a beautiful girl, even a monk who abstained from female contact would inevitably have ripples in his heart.
Although Xing Peng seemed very indifferent to women after coming to this world, it didn't mean he had no desires. If he didn't have desires, he wouldn't have slept with that personal maid.
If not for not knowing the purpose of this little beauty coming to him, he might have even had the heart to take her down - this girl was just too enticing.
