Soul Emperor Martial God

Leaving the Xiao Family.

Xiao Yi headed straight for Mystic Breakthrough City.

His destination was...

The Thundering Desolate Marsh.

He still remembered, this was the place where he left the Xiao Family.

As a Demon Hunter, it was the first place he ventured into.

There, he made a group of rather good teammates.

"I wonder how they are now," Xiao Yi muttered to himself with a knowing smile.

Of course, he wasn't here today to reminisce.

The Thundering Desolate Marsh, a perilous region, spanned an extremely vast area.

A hundred years ago, before the Heavenly Star Thunder Crocodile was sealed.

The skies were dense with Lei Ting, and the sounds of thunder were nonstop, day and night.

In terms of danger, it was even more daunting than the current East Desolate Demon Beast Forest.

Xiao Yi took out the Ghost Mask.

This was the key to the prohibitions of the Bloodthirsty Profound Monarch's Cave Mansion, linked to the Mansion's essence.

Xiao Yi sensed for a moment and quickly found the Cave Mansion covered by prohibitions.

By the way.

The Cave Mansion, wrapped by prohibitions, was invisible to the naked eye.

Moreover, this prohibition absorbed the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy from the marsh to sustain itself.

The prohibition was continuously moving every day, so naturally, the enveloped Cave Mansion did as well.

So, without the 'key'.

Finding the Bloodthirsty Profound Monarch's Cave Mansion in this vast Thundering Desolate Marsh was almost impossible.

Even Earth Origin Realm Martial Artists absolutely couldn't do it.

With the Ghost Mask in hand, Xiao Yi effortlessly entered the Cave Mansion.

Before long, he arrived at the bottom-level secret chamber.

Following the aura, he found the main secret chamber where the Heavenly Star Thunder Crocodile was imprisoned.

Inside the secret chamber.

What met his eyes was a blood-red aura encircling.

The blood-red formed a half-circle transparent barrier.

The transparent barrier was enhanced by a strange force.

Inside the circle, thunder surrounded, and a ferocious demon beast lay coiled.

The demon beast, naturally, was the Heavenly Star Thunder Crocodile.

And the transparent circle was naturally the method the Bloodthirsty Profound Monarch had set up to truly imprison the Heavenly Star Thunder Crocodile.

Xiao Yi stepped forward and perceived for a moment.

Then, his face showed a sudden understanding.

"So that's how it is," Xiao Yi muttered.

"The encircling blood-red is the essence of the Bloodthirsty Profound Monarch's Cultivation."

"That strange force is actually Asura Power."

"The combination of the two has created a prohibition circle that has trapped the Heavenly Star Thunder Crocodile."

"Plus the other layers of prohibitions inside the Mansion, supporting each other, that have kept the Heavenly Star Thunder Crocodile from escaping for a century."

Xiao Yi nodded, then his face showed surprise.

Because, in his perception, the Asura Power added up to as many as nine drops.

It seemed that back in his time, the Bloodthirsty Profound Monarch.

Was just one step away from having his Physical Strength break through to the Earth Origin Realm.

At this moment, within the prohibition circle.

The Heavenly Star Thunder Crocodile's lantern-like eyes slowly opened.

This Fierce Beast that had slept for a century had woken up.

"Human?" The Thunder Crocodile spoke in human language, its voice filled with murderous intent.

Powerful demon beasts develop spiritual intelligence.

The formidable ones can even speak human language.

Of course, ordinary demon beasts, even those with Earth Origin or Heavenly Element Realm strength, cannot speak human language.

But the Thunder Crocodile was an exception.

It had a trace of Ancient Thunder Beast Bloodline.

Blessed with unique talents, it was born with the ability to Control Thunder, matching the strength of a Level 5 Peak Demon Beast.

Therefore, it could speak human language from an early age.

Two years ago, when Xiao Yi first saw it.

It was on the upper level of the Mansion.

However, it wasn't its real body back then.

It was just an 'Illusion' conjured by its power.

It was already speaking human language back then, formidable indeed.

"Heavenly Star Thunder Crocodile," Xiao Yi spoke indifferently.

Almost in the instant Xiao Yi's words fell.

The Heavenly Star Thunder Crocodile had already recognized his voice.

"It's you, that Innate Realm human brat from two years ago."

The Thunder Crocodile's voice carried an immense murderous and hateful intent.

Back then, it was trapped in the main secret chamber.

Its strength was also sealed.

After struggling desperately for decades, it finally contended with the Mansion's prohibition pressure and conjured an 'Illusion'.

It deliberately lured Human Martial Artists to come.

Intending to absorb the Martial Artist Essence of human warriors to restore its strength, break the prohibition, and escape to freedom.

And all of this, because of Xiao Yi's appearance, was ruined in one fell swoop.

"I want you dead," the Thunder Crocodile suddenly roared.

Its ferocious limbs, eager to break out of the prohibition circle, kill the detestable human brat before it.

However, it had barely made a move.

The prohibition force inside the circle firmly bound it.

Making it immobile.

"Damn it, damn it, damn it..."

This Fierce Beast, trapped for a century, roared in madness.

It was intolerably indignant.

"Heh," Xiao Yi gave a faint smile, "So you want to kill me."

"What of it?" The Thunder Crocodile gritted its teeth.

"I'll give you that chance," Xiao Yi said lightly.

The next second, he stepped into the prohibition ring.

"Roar."

The moment Xiao Yi entered the prohibition ring,

the Heavenly Star Thunder Crocodile attacked him furiously.

"Hmph," Xiao Yi snorted coldly.

"Asura Transformation."

The physical strength of a Mystic Breakthrough Ninth Layer burst through to the Earth Origin Realm in an instant.

The 8 drops of Asura Power within his body began to slowly deplete.

Asura Transformation was a secret technique,

capable of temporarily boosting physical strength, roughly from the Second Layer to the Third Layer.

Xiao Yi launched a punch.

Directly sending the Heavenly Star Thunder Crocodile flying several meters.

However, the crocodile's flesh, wrapped in its tough skin, was unharmed.

On the contrary, it was Xiao Yi himself

whose fist turned red and numb from the rebound.

"Roar"

The Heavenly Star Thunder Crocodile roared angrily and attacked again.

Xiao Yi frowned and increased the power of the Asura Force he was channeling.

The amplification of Asura Transformation surged abruptly,

and his physical strength reached the Earth Element Third Layer.

Once again, the Heavenly Star Thunder Crocodile was punched away but remained unharmed.

"Boom, Boom, Boom..."

A series of fierce collisions echoed.

This was a direct clash of flesh against flesh.

This was a genuine exchange of blows.

Time passed, but it was unclear how much.

One day, two days, three days...

No one knew.

All that was certain was that Xiao Yi's fists had long since turned completely numb.

His arms, too, were beginning to ache.

The number of punches he threw was no less than ten thousand,

and the Heavenly Star Thunder Crocodile's attacks were equally numerous.

Each time it struck with full force,

leaving it now panting heavily.

"You've got some skill, boy," the Heavenly Star Thunder Crocodile panted with an eerily human-like breath.

It could never have imagined

that a mere human youth from the Innate Realm two years ago,

who could barely fight its illusion,

could now fight its true form to a standstill after two years.

Meanwhile, Xiao Yi was also silently astonished.

It was indeed the same fierce beast that had once forced the Bloodthirsty Profound Monarch to seal it with his own death.

The Bloodthirsty Profound Monarch, who could slay Earth Origin Realm Martial Artists,

died because of the Heavenly Star Thunder Crocodile.

This Heavenly Star Thunder Crocodile truly possessed formidable strength.

"Are you done venting?" Xiao Yi rubbed his numb fist and asked indifferently.

"What do you mean?" the Heavenly Star Thunder Crocodile inquired.

At that moment, the Heavenly Star Thunder Crocodile no longer seemed so frenzied.

It seemed that the hearty fight had allowed it to vent enough.

And the frustration of being trapped for a hundred years was somewhat eased.

Xiao Yi replied indifferently, "Nothing much, I just don't want you to go out and randomly kill in a violent frenzy."

The Heavenly Star Thunder Crocodile was stunned at his words.

"Go... going out?"

"Yes, I'll take you out," Xiao Yi nodded.

"The fresh air, the sunlight, you've missed them for a long time, haven't you?"

"I can take you out to experience them again."

"You're willing to let me go?" The Heavenly Star Thunder Crocodile's fierce eyes narrowed.

"There's a catch, right?"

It wasn't foolish.

"Of course, there is," Xiao Yi nodded.

"What's the catch?" the Heavenly Star Thunder Crocodile asked.

"Become my servant," Xiao Yi's tone remained flat.

"What?" the Heavenly Star Thunder Crocodile immediately flew into a rage.

"I, the mighty Heavenly Star Thunder Crocodile, you actually dare to try to make me submit to you."

"To acknowledge you as my master?"

"Hahaha..." The Heavenly Star Thunder Crocodile laughed wildly.

"Boy, you're courting death."

Xiao Yi's expression turned cold, "You only have two choices."

"Either become my servant,"

"Or die."

With that, a strange and destructive aura emerged on Xiao Yi's hand.

The Boundary Shattering Fist.

"The Boundary Shattering Fist, it's that move again," the Heavenly Star Thunder Crocodile began to tremble.

Because a hundred years ago, it was this move by the Bloodthirsty Profound Monarch that severely wounded it

and resulted in its imprisonment here for a century.

"I forgot to tell you." Xiao Yi smiled coldly.

"I can also wield the power of the prohibitions set by the Bloodthirsty Profound Monarch."

"Do you think you can withstand my punch?"

At the same time, Xiao Yi, through the Ghost Mask, gained control of the 9 drops of Asura Power in the prohibition ring.

Adding to his own 8 drops,

a total of 17 drops of Asura Power were instantly consumed to unleash the Boundary Shattering Fist.

Its power would reach a terrifying level.

The Heavenly Star Thunder Crocodile would unquestionably die.
