Soul Emperor Martial God

The perilous land of flames, inside a cloud-reaching volcano.

The sound of fierce battles constantly echoes, shaking the skies.

From a distance, flames can be seen soaring into the sky from the volcano's crater, with gigantic molten lava fire columns shooting upwards.

This terrifying display continued for most of the day before it finally ended.

After most of the day...

Inside the volcano, the entire surface of the molten lava is devastated.

The surrounding volcanic walls, burnt with holes by the flames, are terrifying to behold.

The volcanic walls inside were always enduring the flame aura, making them highly fire-resistant, yet now they are burnt beyond recognition.

It is not hard to imagine that the previous battle was extraordinarily fierce.

At this moment, a figure stands firmly on the surface of the molten lava—it is Xiao Yi.

"Phew." Xiao Yi breathes heavily, gradually calming his chaotic breath.

In front, a colossal creature floats powerlessly on the surface of the molten lava—it is the Demon Flame Beast.

"As expected of a Saint King Realm demon beast, truly formidable." Xiao Yi murmurs to himself, calming his breath.

The fierce battle with the Demon Flame Beast lasted most of the day before Xiao Yi managed to kill it.

In terms of strength, the Demon Flame Beast is probably around the fifth layer of the Saint King Realm.

It was not easy for him to slay such a demon beast, even though he could.

His chest and both arms bear considerable burn injuries.

The battle lasted half a day, exhausting as it was, but it was a thoroughly satisfying fight for him.

As for the nearby territories, there are no renowned places, merely some small regions.

In terms of martial artist forces, roughly comparable to Fangcun Territory, the strongest is just a martial artist around the second or third layer of the Saint King Realm.

Martial artists of this level naturally cannot deal with the Demon Flame Beast.

"Phew." Xiao Yi takes a deep breath, dispelling his thoughts, and walks slowly towards the Demon Flame Beast's corpse.

The molten lava rolls, yet Xiao Yi walks on it as if it were level ground.

Only some Fire Control Warriors with extremely strong fire control abilities can do this.

Beside the Demon Flame Beast, Xiao Yi crouches slightly, examining the corpse.

Since he first stepped into the volcano's crater, he has sensed something unusual.

The aura of the Demon Flame Beast is extremely mixed, and the aura of this molten magma world is also chaotic and mixed.

Whoosh...

Xiao Yi releases a Fire Blade from his hand, instantly dissecting the Demon Flame Beast.

A Demon Beast Core leaps out.

Xiao Yi grabs it, senses it, and his face changes in surprise.

"The same mixed aura." Xiao Yi frowns.

The so-called mixed aura is that the aura on the core seems to have many strands.

How could one demon beast have many strands of aura?

Ten seconds later, after careful sensing, Xiao Yi understands.

"I see, this is the Demon Flame Beast." Xiao Yi smiles slightly.

The aura emitted by the core consists of many flame auras.

After recognizing these auras individually, Xiao Yi names them.

"Sky Blue Fire, Demon Blood Fire, Magma Fire, Youyun Fire..."

To a Fire Control Warrior, identifying some special flames is not difficult.

Most of these flames are first-class, and some are second-class flames.

If he is not wrong, this so-called Demon Flame Beast is formed from the fusion of these flames.

Multiple first-class and second-class flames birthed this strange demon beast from the molten magma.

Xiao Yi senses the molten lava again and nods.

As he expected, this molten lava also emits the same aura.

The mixed aura in the molten lava matches these flame auras.

So, this molten lava is also formed from the fusion of these flames.

"The world is vast, truly mysterious." Xiao Yi chuckles lightly.

Normally, molten lava is a special type of flame.

But the lava here is formed from the fusion of various first and second-class flames, which is peculiar.

Moreover, the lava here is much hotter and stronger than that in other flame perilous lands.

Xiao Yi stores the core and then also stores the Demon Flame Beast's corpse.

Apart from the core, the demon beast's body can also serve as materials.

After finishing everything, Xiao Yi conjures Purple Flame Fire Wings, preparing to fly away controlling the air.

Suddenly, he seems to remember something and disperses the Purple Flame Fire Wings.

"The flame aura here is so extraordinary, and the lava temperature is so high—it's a good place for cultivation."

Xiao Yi surveys the surrounding lava, nodding.

There are only about two months of journey left to reach the Four-direction Domain.

Along the way, it might be hard to find such a place again.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yi sits cross-legged.

His body floats on the surface of the molten lava.

The scalding lava below does not harm him in the slightest.

"Phew." After a while, Xiao Yi takes a deep breath.

The flame aura here is indeed very effective.

However, he intends to put cultivation on hold for now.

After all, his cultivation level recently surged, so there is no urgency.

Whoosh... Light flashes in Xiao Yi's hand, and the Star Illusion Gloves appear instantly.

"Starlight, descend." Xiao Yi shouts solemnly.

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

A thousand rays of starlight descend instantly.

However, these starlights do not fall upon Xiao Yi but blanket the Star Illusion Gloves.

Indeed, Xiao Yi wants to take this opportunity to repair the Star Illusion Gloves.

Starlight descent is a technique.

This technique requires a certain consumption of primordial power in the body.

The starlight power needed to repair the Star Illusion Gloves is absolutely vast.

On this scorching lava surface, Xiao Yi can absorb the flame aura as the consumption for primordial power.

Simultaneously, Xiao Yi begins to comprehend the Star Illusion Swordsmanship.

After an hour, Xiao Yi pauses his cultivation with a gleam of joy in his eyes.

"Indeed, after reaching a higher cultivation realm, mastery of the Star Illusion Swordsmanship becomes easier, comprehending it faster."

Currently, the descending starlights have already reached one thousand five hundred.

Thinking this, Xiao Yi swiftly resumes comprehending.

Now is the time to comprehend, and the speed is rapid; Xiao Yi seizes the opportunity to continue comprehending.

Time gradually passes.

After two hours, the descending starlights reach two thousand.

Half a day later, the starlights reach five thousand.

After a day, the starlights remain five thousand.

Xiao Yi furrows his brows, opens his eyes, "It seems to be at its limit."

The descending starlights have reached a critical point, unable to increase in a short time.

However, this is sufficient.

After all, Xiao Yi did not intend to master a large amount of starlight now; his only purpose was to repair the Star Illusion Gloves.

With five thousand rays of starlight gathered, they all pour into the Star Illusion Gloves.

The damaged Star Illusion Gloves are visibly repairing at a rapid pace.

Xiao Yi is filled with happiness; at this rate, it won't be long before the Star Illusion Gloves are fully repaired.

Thinking so, Xiao Yi closes his eyes to rest, steadily manipulating the starlight.

After a while, he frowns suddenly.

In his perception, the repair speed of the Star Illusion Gloves suddenly slows down.

In his perception, the descending starlights gradually thin out and even disappear.

"Hm?" Xiao Yi's face changes, looking towards the sky.

At the crater, something is quickly devouring his starlight.

"Eating my starlight?" Xiao Yi's face shifts, then turns cold.

...

Second update.

Owing one more update, will catch up tomorrow.
