Soul Emperor Martial God

Demon Beast Forest.

Inside the Ten Realms Destruction Formation.

Xiao Yi stood confronting the Black Robed Elder.

The Black Robed Elder sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, controlling the Great Formation.

Xiao Yi kept pulling Elixir Pills from his Qiankun Bag, tossing them into his mouth by the handful.

As half a day passed, the Elixir Pills in his Qiankun Bag were almost depleted.

He had many elixirs: Heavenly Returning Pill, Life Spirit Pill, Giant Strength Pill, and many others, all intended for healing, escaping or boosting strength.

However, the elixirs for restoring True Qi were few.

After all, his Qi Spring was large enough that he had never worried about exhausting his True Qi.

Thus, he had not prepared many True Qi restoring Elixir Pills.

Suddenly, Xiao Yi's hand paused.

Ahead, the Black Robed Elder suddenly opened his eerie eyes.

"Hehe, your elixirs are exhausted," the Black Robed Elder sneered.

"What of it?" Xiao Yi retorted.

"True Qi exhausted, elixirs depleted, I want to see how you'll withstand the Ten Realms Annihilation Fire now," the Black Robed Elder, looking at Xiao Yi as if he was looking at a dead man.

Simultaneously, the Purple Flame on Xiao Yi's body was fading.

Indeed, his True Qi was nearly exhausted.

Earlier, to block the Fire Rock Giant Beast and Yin Wind Bat Demon's attacks and help Lin Jin and the others escape,

His True Qi had almost been depleted.

The past half-day was solely sustained by Elixir Pills.

But that did not mean he had no options left.

A sword emitting a sinister blood color was suddenly drawn out from his Qiankun Bag.

It was the Blood Slaughter Sword.

Once the Blood Slaughter Sword was drawn, its internal Spiritual Energy reignited the fading Purple Flame vigorously.

"High Grade Spiritual Artifact?" the Black Robed Elder exclaimed in surprise.

"No wonder you're so confident."

"I dare not claim confidence," Xiao Yi sneered coldly, "but at least, it can support me for ten days to half a month."

The power inside a High Grade Spiritual Artifact was enormously great.

Even Mystic Breakthrough Realm Martial Artists holding it could fight beyond several layers of strength.

Since Xiao Yi was using it only to sustain the release of Purple Flame, it could last for quite some time.

"Ten days to half a month," the face of the Black Robed Elder instantly turned unpleasant.

An aged finger, looking like a dry tree branch, stretched out from the wide black robe.

His face revealed unstoppable killing intent.

Ten days to half a month was too long and could lead to many variables.

He could not wait any longer; he feared mishaps.

Seeing this, Xiao Yi was immediately shocked.

But he soon steadied his emotions and said coldly, "What, you want to kill me?"

"Perhaps, you should try giving up controlling the Ten Realms Destruction Formation."

Earth Origin Realm Martial Artists were not to be underestimated.

If this Black Robed Elder truly became desperate enough to give up controlling the Ten Realms Destruction Formation to kill him,

Xiao Yi was in grave danger.

"Boy, you're provoking me, you're very clever," the Black Robed Elder sneered eerily.

"You've guessed right that I wouldn't abandon the formation."

"At least you, a mere ant, are not worth it."

The corners of Xiao Yi's mouth lifted slightly, revealing a smile of 'just as expected'.

But this smile, the next moment, froze instantaneously.

Because the Black Robed Elder had unexpectedly opened his mouth.

From his mouth, a golden light shot out.

A perfectly round, small pearl flew out.

It finally stopped in the center of the formation, supporting the operation of the formation.

"Earth Element Golden Core," Xiao Yi's face dramatically changed.

Earth Element Golden Core was the hallmark of Earth Origin Realm Martial Artists, and a source of overwhelming strength.

"Hehe," the Black Robed Elder sneered coldly, "You thought I really had no way to deal with you?"

"The means of Earth Origin Realm are beyond your imagination, ant."

"My Golden Core is enough to continue controlling the formation."

"I'll take your life now."

The Black Robed Elder finally stood up.

He was controlling the formation through the Golden Core inside his body.

Thus, freeing himself to deal with Xiao Yi.

"Without the Golden Core, what kind of Earth Origin Realm are you?" Xiao Yi said, his expression grim.

"Without the Golden Core, you can't exert Earth Origin Realm strength; you are at best a Mystic Breakthrough Ninth Layer."

"You're scared," the Black Robed Elder remarked, looking at Xiao Yi's ghastly face, and laughed triumphantly.

"That frantic expression doesn't look like the confident you from before."

"Weren't you always very smug?"

As soon as these words fell, the Black Robed Elder struck instantly.

That terrifying dry palm contained an inexplicable, immense force.

It directly reached for the grim-faced, panic-stricken Xiao Yi.

In his view, even with only Mystic Breakthrough Ninth Layer strength,

Killing a Mysterious Profundity Realm kid was effortless.

"Damn it," panic surged on Xiao Yi's face.

Xiao Yi shouted loudly, thrusting forward his Blood Slaughter Sword.

"Mountain Shattering Slash."

"Earth-class Advanced Martial Technique?" The Black Robed Elder's pupils constricted.

But he soon reacted, "Hmph, just a Mysterious Profundity Realm kid with an Earth-class Advanced Martial Technique, so what."

"Begone." The Black Robed Elder waved his hand.

Xiao Yi, along with his sword, was directly smacked away.

"Ugh." Xiao Yi violently spat out a mouthful of bloody essence, his face deathly pale.

The Black Robed Elder, being an Earth Origin Realm Martial Artist.

Even without the Earth Element Golden Core, capable of only exerting Mystic Breakthrough Ninth Layer strength,

Was far beyond what Xiao Yi could withstand at the moment.

That single move had already severely injured Xiao Yi.

"Not bad, not bad," the Black Robed Elder mocked, laughing as he slowly approached Xiao Yi.

"An Earth-class Advanced Martial Technique, plus a High Grade Spiritual Artifact, your strike just now was comparable to an attack from a Mystic Breakthrough Fifth Layer Martial Artist."

The Black Robed Elder spoke disdainfully, his steps slow.

He could easily kill the kid in front of him.

But he enjoyed more seeing the despairing expression of the ant in front of him as he died in panic.

"Sea Covering Slash." Xiao Yi, enduring his injuries, vibrated the Blood Slaughter Sword.

Sword sounds surged like the tide.

The Black Robed Elder waved his hand, and the sword sounds instantly dissipated.

"Interesting, an Earth-rank Peak Martial Technique."

"This move is comparable to the full-strength strike of a Mystic Breakthrough Seventh Layer Martial Artist."

"But that's all there is to it."

The Black Robed Elder strolled slowly, gradually approaching Xiao Yi.

"If you want to beat me, you need to use a Heaven Rank Martial Technique."

"Of course, that's impossible."

"Not to mention whether you have it or not, even if you do, it's something that even Mystic Breakthrough Realm Martial Artists cannot execute, let alone you in the Mysterious Profundity Realm."

As the tone of his voice fell, the Black Robed Elder arrived in front of Xiao Yi.

From a superior position, mockingly, he looked down at Xiao Yi.

A terrifying withered palm slowly descended.

He seemed to have already envisioned the scene of the young man being crushed into pulp.

"Kid, die. In your next life, remember not to overestimate yourself like this."

"This is the ignorant fate of provoking an Earth Origin Realm Martial Artist."

The Black Robed Elder sneered sinisterly, striking with his palm.

But the next moment, he suddenly saw a hint of a successful plot on the young man's face.

In the next instant, he heard a blood-thirsty roar.

"Boundary Shattering Fist."

Xiao Yi unleashed his punch, fully mobilizing the drop of Asura Power within him.

On the fist, a surge of terrifying power suddenly formed.

"Damn it," the Black Robed Elder's expression drastically changed in an instant.

He could distinctly sense the odor of death from that punch.

He instinctively wanted to flee.

But it was already too late.

Xiao Yi's fist had already been launched.

With a booming sound,

The entire world seemed to turn blank.

Everything, under this punch, became dim and lightless.

Even with the brightness of that punch, Xiao Yi couldn't open his eyes.

He didn't know what the outcome for the Black Robed Elder was.

He only knew his own body ached.

In that moment, his body felt as if it was tearing apart.

It was as if every inch of his body was forcefully splitting open.

The Boundary Shattering Fist was a move he couldn't fully control yet.

This was his first use, and the backlash was enough to make him wish for death.

Seconds later, the Boundary Shattering Fist faded.

The light dispersed.

What entered his sight was a scene of devastation.

The Ten Realms Destruction Formation, the barriers on all sides, vibrated non-stop.

The ground seemed to have been scraped off a layer.

The Black Robed Elder lay on the nearly shattered ground, barely breathing.

"Puh... Puh..." Xiao Yi suddenly spat out several mouthfuls of blood.

His condition was actually very bad.

The backlash of the Boundary Shattering Fist had far exceeded his expectations.

He couldn't even stand firmly, barely managing to walk using the Blood Slaughter Sword to support himself toward the Black Robed Elder.

"He's not dead yet," Xiao Yi's expression turned cold.

The Black Robed Elder wasn't dead yet, but he was close to dying.

"Kid... kid, you've been feigning ignorance all along." The Black Robed Elder's face was filled with resentment.

"You... you were waiting for me to spit out the Earth Element Golden Core."

"You were luring me to kill you."

"Cough cough," the Black Robed Elder also spat out large amounts of blood.

However, he didn't even have the strength to wipe it away.

"To deal with an old monster like you, how could I not be cunning?"

Xiao Yi coldly sneered, then said no more.

The Blood Slaughter Sword fiercely pierced down, ending the life of the Black Robed Elder.

Only when he felt the Black Robed Elder had no signs of life, turning into a corpse, did Xiao Yi finally breathe a sigh of relief. Then suddenly, everything went dark.

With a thud, he collapsed to the ground.

The backlash of the Boundary Shattering Fist was too severe.

The meridians and muscles in his body had almost all been shattered by the rebound of the Boundary Shattering Fist.

This injury was undoubtedly the most severe one since he started his journey.

His current state was even weaker than that of a baby.

It was only his astonishing willpower that had allowed him to watch the Black Robed Elder die before he passed out.

But, it was all worth it.

The Black Robed Elder, an elder of the Black Demon Hall, was ruthless and cold-hearted.

Xiao Yi knew well that if the fight dragged on, it would only be disadvantageous for him.

Once the power in the Blood Slaughter Sword was exhausted, it would be the time of his death.

Therefore, he could only induce the Black Robed Elder to make a move.

The Sky-splitting Sword Sect also had Earth Origin Realm predecessors.

There were books about Earth Origin Realm cultivation in the sect, and he certainly knew the characteristics of the Earth Origin Realm.

He was even more aware of the existence of the Earth Origin Golden Core.

He intended to provoke the Black Robed Elder to spit out the Earth Origin Golden Core.

Without a doubt, he had succeeded.

His cultivation in the Mysterious Profundity Realm had made the Black Robed Elder extremely careless.

He didn't know if the Boundary Shattering Fist could kill an Earth Origin Realm.

But he knew, combining his Mystic Breakthrough First Layer physical strength with the Boundary Shattering Fist, he could kill a Mystic Breakthrough Ninth Layer Martial Artist.

And he was successful.

Every step had been calculated by him.

If it weren't for his continual calm and calculated approach, he would already be a cold corpse.

This world, with its brutal and dangerous aspect, was displayed vividly in that moment.

That's why, ever since leaving the Xiao Family, Xiao Yi had always been extremely careful and cautious.

He couldn't afford to be careless; the Xiao Family was still waiting for his return.
