Soul Emperor Martial God

Upon the twelve Xuan Lock Chains, everyone continued leaping upward.

Twenty-four Xuan Lock Chains attacked simultaneously this time, making it impossible for the group to progress with ease merely by avoiding them.

Originally, there were only twelve chains attacking everyone, coinciding with each person needing to deal with only one chain.

But now, each person needed to cope with two chains.

With one chain, one could easily evade during the gap.

With two chains, evasion was impossible.

"Hah." Xiao Yi let out a low shout and punched out fiercely.

The powerful fist burst forth vehemently and clashed heavily with the Xuan Lock Chain.

Clang...

The thick iron chain, resembling a coiling serpent, was blasted open with a punch.

Yet at the same time, Xiao Yi's fist also felt a sudden pain.

A clear white mark appeared on his fist.

Xiao Yi distinctly felt that what he had just impacted wasn't akin to a chain, but rather more like a towering mountain crashing forcefully against him.

Had it not been for his remarkable physical strength, with his cultivation sealed, one impact of the chain could have smashed him into pieces.

This second difficulty was unbelievably challenging.

Although the group's leaping speed was slower than before, they continued moving forward steadily.

The twelve individuals progressed while also observing one another.

The other eleven individuals were startled to see Xiao Yi punch away the gigantic Xuan Lock Chain.

Xiao Yi was equally surprised by the others' methods of dealing with the chains.

The eleven of them already had weapons in hand.

Judging by their aura, they were all low-grade Holy Devices.

Of course, with their cultivation sealed, they couldn't wield the full power of the low-grade Holy Devices.

However, at this moment, a mysterious power enveloped their weapons.

If Xiao Yi was not mistaken, this mysterious power was Martial Arts Power.

Moreover, it felt similar to Ran Qi's spear style earlier.

It wasn't as profound as Ran Qi's spear style, but astonishingly powerful nonetheless.

The eleven relied on their weapons and the mysterious power wrapped around them to withstand the attacks of the Xuan Lock Chains.

"What exactly is going on?" Xiao Yi was filled with confusion.

Martial Arts Power is typically used in domains.

This is common knowledge for Heavenly Extreme Realm Martial Artists.

Yet now, with everyone's cultivation sealed, it's impossible to unleash a domain.

Although domains consist of more than two complete Martial Arts, maintaining them still requires a certain amount of Primordial Power.

Without being able to mobilize Primordial Power, naturally, domains cannot be unleashed.

While Xiao Yi couldn't fathom it, he didn't hesitate for a moment.

Without knowing when, the speed of the twelve individuals gradually increased again.

Though the attacks from twenty-four Xuan Lock Chains were troublesome, the twelve managed to adapt with their full efforts.

One more thing, Xiao Yi had previously sensed the cultivation of these eleven individuals.

After all, they were the first to reach the mountain's peak during the first difficulty.

Of course, Xiao Yi had sensed them.

These eleven individuals all had a cultivation of Heavenly Extreme Seventh Layer, meaning they had stepped into the late stage of Heavenly Extreme Realm.

Yet now, with their cultivation sealed, their unleashed strength far exceeded the Heavenly Extreme Seventh Layer.

And as they continued leaping forward, as the difficulty increased, these eleven's strength continued to grow.

This moment revealed the enormous gap between true Heavenly Talents.

Back in Star Swapping City, Wang Xinghe also had a Heavenly Extreme Seventh Layer cultivation, and even with his cultivation unsealed, his strength peak barely reached the Heavenly Extreme Ninth Layer, just entering the Heavenly Extreme Peak.

At this level, he wouldn't last more than a few moves against Xiao Yi.

Now these eleven individuals, all with a Heavenly Extreme Seventh Layer cultivation and sealed, had already unleashed a power close to the Heavenly Extreme Peak, nearing half-step Limitless level.

Xiao Yi firmly believed that if these eleven individuals had their cultivation unsealed, their combat power would definitely exceed the Infinite Sacred Realm.

In other words, these eleven individuals absolutely possessed the strength capable of slaying a Saint.

Whoosh... whoosh... whoosh...

The twelve individuals continued progressing, with the altitude constantly rising.

Initially already atop the mountain peak, above the Cloud Sea, now they ascended even higher, reaching an altitude of over ten thousand meters.

The fierce Gang Wind blowing at high altitude grew increasingly intense.

In the distance, on the cliff's edge, all the Heavenly Talents gazed up at the twelve's elegant figures, showing expressions of shock.

They were well aware that they absolutely couldn't achieve this themselves.

The elder's expression shifted to delight, "These twelve lads, not only could the Twenty-four Locking Sky Formation not stop them, but even the Thirty-Six Sky-reaching Formation can't halt their steps?"

The elder displayed an expectant expression.

On the other side, upon the Xuan Lock Chains, after the twelve adapted, their speed increased again.

The twenty-four Xuan Lock Chains' attacks could no longer significantly hinder them.

Just then.

Another piercing and unnerving clang... clang... clang sounded.

This time, as many as thirty-six Xuan Lock Chains came tearing through the sky.

Counting the current twenty-four chains attacking them and the twelve they were stepping on.

Add it up, a total of seventy-two chains.

On the cliff's edge, the elder's face changed, "Another Thirty-Six Sky-reaching Formation?"

The elders nearby frowned, "These twelve people already triggering the Thirty-Six Sky-reaching Formation is quite impressive, but now there's another one."

"On the Xuan Lock Chains, with cultivation sealed, enduring two Thirty-Six Sky-reaching Formations while constantly ascending and moving forward is almost impossible."

Though there were seventy-two chains, the formation remained unchanged, still just the Thirty-Six Sky-reaching Formation.

Only now, it became doubled.

In the distance, upon the Xuan Lock Chains, Xiao Yi's gaze turned cold, "Never-ending."

His fist moved continuously, the fist wind like shadows, forcibly knocking away all the chains attacking him.

Seventy-two Xuan Lock Chains, twelve beneath their feet, meaning a full sixty chains attacked them.

Just then, five chains simultaneously attacked one Heavenly Talent.

Compared to before, the difficulty had skyrocketed to another level.

Except for Xiao Yi forcibly knocking away the five chains attacking him, the remaining eleven couldn't withstand it instantly.

Thump... thump... thump...

Several Heavenly Talents could not withstand, and the massive counterforce in their hands caused them to vomit blood and retreat.

A few who managed to block were severely untidy.

"Huh?" Xiao Yi suddenly turned his gaze with mild suspicion to a nearby chain.

The Heavenly Talent on this chain was neither clumsy nor chaotic, but instead easily sidestepped the five chains' attack.

He moved with light steps, as if leisurely strolling, dodging the attacks and progressing smoothly.

"Remarkable, an Array Master?" Xiao Yi was slightly astonished.

At this time, that Heavenly Talent also noticed Xiao Yi's gaze and sneered coldly.

"What? Surprised?"

"These Xuan Lock Chains are difficult for us to pass because of the formation upon them."

"Charging forward like a brute bull can't last long, can you?"

"Listen up, you eleven, the first place is already mine."

"Remember, the one who defeats you today is named Sikong Yu."

That Heavenly Talent, named Sikong Yu, spoke with a condescending sneer, and his speed increased instead of decreasing, quickly widening the gap with everyone else.

"Bastard, stop being so arrogant," shouted the ten Heavenly Talents angrily, hastily chasing after him.

Xiao Yi shook his head, not bothered to care.

Within him, he instantly mobilized several drops of Asura Power.

His physical strength soared in an instant, and he chased after them in a flash.

Second update.
