Soul Emperor Martial God

Boom...

Hee Baichuan's body suddenly erupted with a surge of momentum.

"Self-explosion?" Xiao Yi's pupils shrank as he hastily withdrew his sword and retreated.

The self-explosion of a Saint Realm Martial Artist is no trivial matter in terms of power.

However, just as he withdrew his sword and retreated, the aura of self-detonation on Hee Baichuan's body abruptly halted.

The chaotic aura immediately calmed down.

"A fake?" Xiao Yi squinted his eyes.

Hee Baichuan sneered, "Kid, you're still too green."

"Back when I roamed the Central Region, you weren't even born yet."

"A snot-nosed kid like you thinks you can take me down?"

As he spoke, flames surged along the large blade in Hee Baichuan's hand.

"So that's how it is." Xiao Yi's eyes turned cold, "It's just a fake aura created by the eruption of Fire Attribute Primordial Power."

"Heavenly Flame Slash," Hee Baichuan shouted.

A massive flame saber aura descended from the sky.

Xiao Yi swung his sword, with the sword edge enveloped in Cold Frost.

However, when the Cold Frost struck the massive flame saber aura, it instantly turned into droplets under the intense heat, then evaporated and dissipated.

Boom... The flame saber aura passed over the Frost Sword Qi and crashed down heavily, creating a loud explosion.

As the explosion resounded, a sea of fire appeared.

When the sea of fire dissipated, a gigantic crater was blasted on the ground.

Xiao Yi, standing amid it all, appeared merely disheveled, but completely unharmed.

"Heavenly Flame Slash, one of the Holy-grade Martial Techniques of the Flame Hall," Xiao Yi murmured to himself.

Across the Ancient Eight Halls, each hall contains martial techniques, cultivation techniques, treasures, and more, renowned in the Central Region.

Of course, these things require sufficient Task Points to redeem.

Being the Chief Steward of the Flame Hall for so long, Hee Baichuan naturally had plenty of Task Points to exchange for these martial arts techniques.

"Kid, it's useless," Hee Baichuan looked at Xiao Yi disdainfully.

"Even if your combat prowess is astonishing, my cultivation completely crushes yours, being a whole realm higher."

"In terms of martial techniques, this is a Holy-grade Martial Technique from the Flame Hall, which you can't compare to."

"If I wanted to kill you, it would simply take a bit more effort."

"However, I can give you a way out."

Hee Baichuan sneered, "Go back to the Flame Hall's branch and falsely report that I have perished by your sword."

"I will vanish without a trace, no longer pursued by the annoying hunts from the Flame Hall."

"And you'll gain the bounty from the wanted notice."

"Both sides profit, so why not?"

Xiao Yi shook his head, "From the moment you slaughtered your former comrades, you should have anticipated the consequences of being hunted today."

"I've told you before, either return with me to the Flame Hall obediently, or face death."

"It seems you've chosen the latter."

With those words, Xiao Yi advanced with his sword once again.

"You're the one courting death," Hee Baichuan snapped coldly, the large blade in his hand once again covered in flames.

"Heavenly Flame Slash."

A massive flame saber aura was unleashed heavily.

Unfazed, Xiao Yi responded, "Cold Ice Domain, Rise."

Boom… In a split second, a surge of Heaven and Earth Power encompassed thousands of meters around.

Whoosh…

Xiao Yi swung his sword, instantly summoning Cold Frost.

In less than a second, an area of thousands of meters turned into a snowy icy landscape.

The massive flame saber aura was instantly frozen into ice.

"This..." Hee Baichuan's face showed shock.

Before he could react, Xiao Yi had already turned into a flurry of snow and disappeared from the spot.

"Where?" Hee Baichuan's expression changed.

After all, he had been the Chief Steward of the Flame Hall before, with ample battle experience.

His vigilant eyes scanned around.

Whoosh… Suddenly, a cold wind howled past.

A drift of snow gathered behind him, and Xiao Yi's figure emerged, strangely eerie.

A sharp, icy longsword pierced through his chest with a sizzling sound.

"You... when…" Hee Baichuan lowered his head, looking at the cold sword edge protruding from his chest, dripping with fresh blood, his face full of astonishment.

The next second, Hee Baichuan's words abruptly ceased.

The life force in his body vanished completely.

His lifeless body slowly fell.

With a thud… it landed on the snowy ground, now a cold corpse.

Xiao Yi withdrew the Blizzard Sword with a satisfied smile.

He was pleased with his current combat prowess and the battle he had just fought.

He was creating a Sword Dao unique to him, based on the Ice Sword Dao while integrating other various Sword Daos.

This kind of Martial Arts Fusion is somewhat like a domain.

Domain, similarly, is a Martial Arts Fusion that initially comprises two or more complete martial arts to form a domain. The more complete martial arts integrated into it, the stronger the power.

However, Martial Arts Fusion is about creating a Sword Dao unique to oneself.

Simply put, Xiao Yi's current every move and sword strike, purely with his Sword Dao power, is as powerful as unleashing a domain.

A casual move or sword strike then equates to the domain power constructed from nine complete martial arts within him.

This is why he could easily defeat Hee Baichuan, an Early Stage Saint Realm Martial Artist, earlier.

Afterward, when displaying a domain again, the domain, constructed of nine complete martial arts fused together, actually constituted Martial Arts Power.

In simple terms, his Sword Dao consists of nine complete martial arts fused together.

The domain he unleashes is formed by absorbing the Martial Arts Power from within of those nine complete martial arts.

One is martial arts, and the other is Martial Arts Power.

Both have the same origin and source, and this is the true method of exerting domain power.

It is not merely the simple integration of Martial Arts Power or mere reliance on domain power as before.

And this was the reason Xiao Yi could instantly kill Hee Baichuan just now.

"Disperse," Xiao Yi uttered as he lowered his voice.

The surrounding snow and ice instantly dissolved.

"Harnessing Martial Arts to control the Martial Arts Power, forming a domain. This is the true combat prowess a Heavenly Extreme Realm martial artist should exert."

Xiao Yi smiled, simultaneously deep in thought.

The Heaven and Earth Sword Dao is immensely vast.

He is creating and perfecting a Sword Dao belongs solely to him.

Which means, in his future cultivation, he will continue mastering various Sword Daos, integrating them into his own Sword Dao.

Having fused merely five First-class Swordsmanships, he already possesses such combat prowess.

If the Sword Dao he creates in the future is strong enough and at a high enough level, he will certainly be able to integrate top-tier swordsmanships, including the Star Illusion Swordsmanship.

Naturally, by then, he might have already become powerful enough to make his name echo throughout the Central Region.

This also confirmed his initial feeling that the Great Freedom Sword Dao should not be fully mastered at that level as before.

It should be waiting for him much further and deeper on the Martial Arts Dao, or the Sword Dao road.

Moreover, his path of Sword Dao requires creation and perfection, and so does the path of the Fire Attribute.

However, the various worldly formidable fire-type martial arts he possesses have already been almost perfect martial arts in the world.

According to Senior Luoo's previous guidance, it might be around the Peak of Saint King Realm when he can begin perfecting the path of the Fire Attribute.

"Sigh..." Xiao Yi couldn't help but take a deep breath, calming his thoughts.

Just about to leave, suddenly, a light flickered continuously from his bosom.

"Hmm? The Task Scroll." Xiao Yi took out the Task Scroll from his bosom.

The Task Scroll flickered nonstop, indicating that there are other Academic Disciples nearby, and they're in danger.

First update.
