Soul Emperor Martial God

After leaving the Xiao Family, Xiao Yi found a secluded spot outside the city.

He opened up a cave and entered it.

The current state of the Xiao Family was a mess, with ruins and broken walls everywhere.

There were no seclusion rooms or even intact rooms.

Having no choice, Xiao Yi had to go outside to refine elixirs.

Before refining, Xiao Yi planned to first consume Demon Beast Essence Blood and cultivate the Asura Battle Body.

This time he obtained the Demon Beast Essence Blood from the Northern Mountain Murong Family.

Fourth-level Essence Blood, three hundred thousand vials.

Fifth-level Essence Blood, tens of thousands of vials.

After absorbing one hundred thousand vials of Fourth-Level Essence Blood.

Physical Strength soared from Mystic Breakthrough Fourth Layer to Mystic Breakthrough Sixth Layer.

It is worth mentioning that after the Mystic Breakthrough Realm, the effect of Fourth-Level Demon Beast Essence Blood was not as significant.

It was only the enormous quantity that caused a qualitative change.

The Physical Strength of each realm can only fully reveal its effectiveness with corresponding level Demon Beast Essence Blood.

For example, Physical Strength in the Mystic Breakthrough Realm requires Fifth-Level Blood Essence to be truly effective.

Physical Strength in the Earth Origin Realm requires Sixth-Level Essence Blood or higher.

After consuming another one hundred thousand vials of Fourth-Level Essence Blood.

Physical Strength reached Mystic Breakthrough Seventh Layer.

Unlike regular cultivation that fills the Qi Spring,

the Asura Battle Body requires an increasingly substantial amount of Essence Blood as one progresses.

Thus, even with the same hundred thousand vials of Fourth-Level Essence Blood.

The number of layers advanced was different.

Progress became slower the further he went.

After swallowing the last ten vials as well.

Physical Strength barely reached Mystic Breakthrough Eighth Layer.

"All the Fourth-Level Demon Beast Essence Blood has been consumed,"

"leaving tens of thousands of vials of Fifth-Level Essence Blood."

"It seems the Asura Battle Body can break through to the next layer."

Xiao Yi muttered to himself, his face full of joy.

With the breakthrough to the next layer of the Asura Battle Body, his Physical Strength would reach the Earth Origin Realm.

Without wasting time, Xiao Yi immediately began cultivating.

Tens of thousands of vials of Fifth-Level Demon Beast Essence Blood were quickly consumed and digested.

His Physical Strength rose swiftly.

Continuing to rise even after reaching Mystic Breakthrough Ninth Layer.

"Hmm?" Xiao Yi suddenly frowned. "Something is wrong."

An eerie pattern appeared on the position of his heart inside his body.

The pattern was constantly absorbing the power of the Demon Beast Essence Blood.

Once the pattern was entirely filled,

five droplets of a strange, liquid-like 'small droplets' appeared.

It was the Asura Power.

It is worth mentioning that when he killed the Old Monster Yougu in the past,

he used the Boundary Shattering Fist, completely depleting the Asura Power in his body.

However, with time, that drop of Asura Power had already fully recovered.

Now, including these newly appeared five drops, there were six drops of Asura Power in total.

"So that's how it is," Xiao Yi realized with a sudden expression of understanding.

The Demon Beast Essence Blood was originally enough for him to break through to Earth Origin Realm Physical Strength.

But now, it transformed entirely into Asura Power.

"Six drops of Asura Power, if I'm not mistaken, to break through to Earth Origin Realm Physical Strength,"

"at least ten drops will be needed."

Xiao Yi muttered to himself.

He had a clear awareness of his cultivation situation with the Asura Battle Body.

Although he did not manage to break through,

Asura Power is essential for using the Asura Transformation and Boundary Shattering Fist.

With his current Mystic Breakthrough Ninth Layer Physical Strength,

Plus these six drops of Asura Power.

His strength would definitely leap forward again.

This was almost all of the Northern Mountain Murong Family's Demon Beast Essence Blood.

Still, it was not enough to break through to the next layer of the Asura Battle Body.

It is evident how difficult it is to cultivate the Asura Battle Body.

No wonder, even with the capabilities of the Bloodthirsty Profound Monarch back in the day, after half a lifetime of cultivation, he still hadn't broken through.

He was also just at the Mystic Breakthrough Ninth Layer Physical Strength.

He must have also been stalled by the accumulation of Asura Power.

Xiao Yi shook his head, not thinking any further.

Discarding the distracting thoughts in his mind, he began refining Pure Elixirs.

No need to worry about the quantity of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, it was definitely sufficient.

And for the Demon Beast Cores,

three hundred thousand Fourth-Level ones,

tens of thousands of Fifth-Level ones,

and Xiao Yi even discovered that there were a dozen or so Sixth-Level Demon Beast Cores.

Sixth-Level Demon Beast Cores were incredibly precious.

A Sixth-Level Demon Beast is not easy to kill.

Presumably, the Murong Family itself possessed not only Sixth-Level Cores but also Sixth-Level Essence Blood.

The essence blood had all been used by the Murong Family's experts to soak their physical bodies.

Demon Beast Core, human martial artists cannot consume.

Demon Beast Essence Blood, however, can be used by human martial artists to soak their bodies and enhance their strength.

…

Returning to the main topic.

Xiao Yi took out the Eight Dragons Burning Fire Furnace and officially began refining.

With a bang.

Purple Flame burst from his hand and then was thrust into the furnace.

During refining, the fire inside the Eight Dragons Burning Fire Furnace, like the breath of a fire dragon, instantly refines the materials, its power astonishing.

Indeed.

Xiao Yi rapidly threw batches of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures into the furnace.

Before long, it was time to start Solidifying Pills.

He added a Demon Beast Core.

In just a few seconds, Pure Elixir began to take shape.

With the Eight Dragons Burning Fire Furnace, his refining speed greatly increased.

Half a day later, three hundred thousand Fourth-level Inner Cores had been completely consumed.

One hundred and fifty thousand Fourth-grade Pure Profound Cave Pills were refined.

Another half day.

Tens of thousands of Level 5 Inner Cores had been completely consumed.

Fifteen thousand Fifth-grade Pure Breaking Profound Pills were refined.

Looking at the nearly mountainous pile of elixirs in front of him, Xiao Yi smacked his lips.

"This time, there won't be any accidents, will there?"

"If all goes well, the Earth Origin Realm, I must break through."

Xiao Yi confidently spoke and gulped down the pills like jelly beans.

Ice Phoenix Sword Soul and Fire Control Beast Martial Soul, both Martial Souls activated together.

The elixir had barely entered his stomach when it transformed into pure power.

Then it entered the Small World.

The Small World, although inside the body.

In fact, it was a space that he had created himself, controlled by him, immense in size.

According to Xiao Yi's guess.

Originally, 450 Pure Breaking Profound Pills.

Had been enough to fill his Qi Spring by twenty percent.

And had broken through two layers of his Cultivation.

Now first consuming Mysterious Profundity Pills.

Though Mysterious Profundity Pills were not as potent as Breaking Profound Pills, the massive quantity caused a qualitative change.

About 50,000 Mysterious Profundity Pills should fill up the Qi Spring.

Unexpectedly, after consuming them, his Cultivation only broke through two layers.

From Mystic Breakthrough Fifth Layer to Mystic Breakthrough Seventh Layer.

"Something's wrong, there's a problem." Xiao Yi's expression changed.

He clearly felt that the amount of power needed to fill his Qi Spring had become much greater.

And it wasn't just a little more, but significantly more.

Disbelievingly, he consumed the remaining 100,000 Mysterious Profundity Pills.

His Cultivation broke through two more layers, reaching Mystic Breakthrough Ninth Layer.

"How is this possible?" Xiao Yi's face showed incredulity.

The power needed to fill the Qi Spring had always been consistent.

Why had it suddenly started to increase so dramatically?

He couldn't figure it out.

But, after he swallowed fifteen thousand Fifth-grade Pure Breaking Profound Pills.

He began to understand.

His expression suddenly became extremely horrified.

The Qi Spring True Liquid inside his body was already completely filled.

But now, the Qi Spring suddenly began to churn fiercely, as if it had turned into a turbulent sea.

And as the pills entered his stomach and transformed into power again.

This power was all swallowed by the Qi Spring.

Indeed, it wasn't absorption, it was outright devouring.

The Qi Spring had seemingly become a bottomless pit.

After all the elixirs had been consumed.

Such a large amount of Pure Breaking Profound Pills completely transformed into power.

The Qi Spring suddenly changed.

An extremely frigid aura continuously lingered above the Qi Spring.

Soon, it formed into a huge Ice Mountain.

The Ice Mountain was precisely large enough to occupy over sixteen hundred spans of space.

At the same time, an intensely hot terrifying aura also lingered.

Before long, the space of over sixteen hundred spans outside of the Ice Mountain transformed into a Molten Lava Sea.

Three thousand three hundred and thirty-three spans of Qi Spring, completely divided.

Half Ice Mountain, half Fire Sea.

At the very top of the Qi Spring were the Ice Phoenix Sword as well as the Fire Control Beast Martial Soul.

Below the Ice Phoenix Sword was the Ice Mountain.

Below the Fire Control Beast was the Fire Sea.

"Ice Mountain Fire Sea?" Xiao Yi furrowed his brows, "How could my Qi Spring exhibit such a strange mutation?"

…

The third update.
