Soul Emperor Martial God

Xiao Yi was astonished in his heart.

But he glanced at the splendid ice sculptures surrounding him,

and immediately understood.

Undoubtedly, the "Ice Mountain" had, during the release of the "Cold Ice Sea Covering Slash",

turned entirely into True Qi and had been completely used up.

By the way, the Ice Mountain Fire Sea is formed by the condensation of True Qi.

In fact, they are more advanced than True Liquid and True Qi, possessing Fire Attribute power

and Ice Attribute power.

However, Xiao Yi could convert them into ordinary True Qi through his own transformation.

For example, he used True Qi to stabilize someone's injuries.

Or to use True Qi to perform Martial Techniques of other attributes, and so on.

Of course, using True Qi of the same attribute to execute Martial Techniques of the corresponding type would yield stronger power.

For example, using the power of the Fire Sea, the flames released would be significantly more powerful.

Using the power of the Ice Mountain, the Ice Attribute Martial Techniques released would be even more terrifying.

The Ice Mountain, which was 1,600 zhang in length, width, and height.

One zhang is more than 3 meters.

Thus, such a majestic Ice Mountain vanished in an instant.

Such a massive amount of Ice Attribute power was depleted in a flash.

No wonder the "Cold Ice Sea Covering Slash" just now was so terrifying.

Looking at the spot in the Small World where the "Ice Mountain" used to be,

it was now completely empty.

Xiao Yi could not help but sigh.

"This time, the loss is enormous."

The Ice Mountain Fire Sea is not something that should exist in the cultivation of Martial Arts.

Its emergence and reason

were solely for repairing the cracks in the Ice Phoenix Sword.

It was an aberration.

If it were all used up, there truly would be nothing left.

Previously, when Xiao Yi used the power of the Fire Sea,

he never dared to deplete it completely.

He would leave a tiny bit of the "Fire Sea" power.

This small amount might only be one zhang in size.

It would not impact his combat,

but this small amount was the "seed."

After the battle,

Xiao Yi could use the "seed" as a guide

to absorb Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy or rely on his own recovery

to swiftly restore the Fire Sea power.

But now,

the Ice Mountain was completely gone.

It was all squandered by the Ice Phoenix Sword in one go.

The Ice Mountain was essentially scraped clean,

even to the depth of three feet.

Not a bit was left, let alone any "seeds."

If Xiao Yi wanted to restore the "Ice Mountain,"

he could only do so by consuming a large amount of "Pure Elixirs" again

and re-condense it.

However, the amount of Pure Elixirs consumed to initially condense the Ice Mountain Fire Sea

was astronomically high.

It was the entirety of the Northern Mountain Murong Family's resources.

"I've lost, really suffered a huge loss."

Xiao Yi stamped his foot in frustration.

He took out the "Martial Arts Ice Crystal."

Xiao Yi was even tempted to sell it.

This Martial Arts Ice Crystal contained 23 percent of an Origin World Stele's inheritance.

One part of inheritance included extensive Martial Arts knowledge,

as well as a complete series of Martial Techniques ranging from Low-level Xuan Rank to Peak Earth-rank.

The number of Martial Techniques contained within 23 parts, one can imagine.

Xiao Yi really wanted to consume it,

then acquire these Martial Techniques,

copy them all, and sell them for money.

Martial Techniques are one of the most precious things in this world.

Of course, Xiao Yi was just pondering casually.

Such a "treasure" was useless to him.

After all, he already possessed the full inheritance of the Extreme Boundary Stele in Martial Arts.

He didn't even regard this Origin World Stele inheritance highly.

However, if these 23 parts of the inheritance were all bestowed upon one person,

it could undoubtedly nurture an extraordinary supreme genius.

While it was of no use to himself, it would still be beneficial to bring it back to the Xiao Family in the future.

With that thought, Xiao Yi's figure flashed.

He appeared in front of the hundred or so ice sculptures of Black Demon Hall Martial Artists.

These Black Demon Hall Martial Artists included some from the Earth Origin Realm,

but they had already perished within the Ice Seal.

Xiao Yi absorbed their Martial Soul Power,

Took their Qiankun Bags,

then pulled out the Martial Arts Ice Crystal, absorbing their Martial Artist Essence.

Finally, with a wave of his hand,

Purple Flame poured down from the sky,

burning all the present ice sculptures to ashes.

Within a radius of a kilometer, not a trace of Ice Seal was left.

Only a hot scorching smell lingered.

Having done everything,

Xiao Yi nodded, then his figure flashed,

and he completely departed.

...

On the other side,

the elders and disciples of various Sword Sects had already gone far away.

During this time, they had gradually regained some strength.

However, they had never thought of going back to help Xiao Yi.

They only thought of escaping quickly.

Just at that moment, a figure swiftly approached them.

It was Ye Ming.

Xiao Yi had left him behind halfway when he rushed to rescue others.

His speed was not fast,

so he only now caught up with the elders and disciples of various Sword Sects.

"Ye Ming."

"Senior Brother."

The elders and disciples of the Northern Mountain Sky-splitting Sword Sect, their faces lit up with joy.

"We thought you were dead."

Miao Qianhuo and others looked at Ye Ming excitedly.

The Third Elder also looked at his beloved disciple with relief.

"Why are you here?" Ye Ming didn't get excited with them,

but instead, he asked,

"Where is Brother Yi?"

"What Brother Yi?" Miao Qianhuo asked.

"Purple Flame Yi Xiao," Ye Ming said.

"I encountered him at the Demon Hunting Hall in Meteor County and asked him to rescue you."

"Didn't you see him at all?"

"So that was Purple Flame." Miao Qianhuo and the others showed a look of realization.

"He was the one who helped us escape."

"But he told us to leave first."

"He stayed behind to deal with the people from the Black Demon Hall."

"What?" Ye Ming's face turned pale.

"Brother Yi alone, how can he handle over a hundred Martial Artists from the Black Demon Hall?"

"Plus, there was one from the Heavenly Origin Realm."

"Hasn't everyone recovered quite a bit of strength by now?"

Ye Ming looked at the other Sword Sect elders, "Hurry, follow me to help Brother Yi."

The Sword Sect elders, each of them looked hesitant.

The elder of Anyun County said outright, "We just managed to escape, and now go back?"

"Are you out of your mind?"

"Purple Flame Yi Xiao is well-known, he won't be in danger."

"Even if he can't beat them, he can surely escape."

"You..." Ye Ming stomped his foot, urgently saying,

"If you won't go back, I will."

"I cannot let Brother Yi face this danger alone."

Ye Ming had just moved,

when the Third Elder grabbed him.

"Ye Ming, don't be impulsive."

"Your Mystic Breakthrough First Layer Cultivation won't be of any help if you go."

"It will only hold him back."

"By the way, have you completed the task I assigned you?"

"Uh," Ye Ming hesitated.

The Third Elder said angrily, "Didn't I ask you to go to Meteor County to seek help for our rescue?"

"After asking for help,"

"you should've also inquired in Meteor County if Xiao Yi had arrived."

Ye Ming looked troubled, "Disciple didn't inquire about Junior Brother Xiao Yi's situation."

"Since I had to rush back..."

The Third Elder interrupted, "Then why are you worrying about Purple Flame Yi Xiao?"

"Quickly come with us to Meteor County and look for news of Xiao Yi."

The Third Elder's stern expression

made Ye Ming, who greatly respected his teacher, give up the idea of searching for Purple Flame Yi Xiao.

The Third Elder breathed a sigh of relief.

He was worried Ye Ming would go back and be killed.

"Brother Yi." Ye Ming stood there,

gazing into the distance, murmuring to himself,

his face showing a worried expression.

Just then, a fiery red figure, in a flash, sped toward them.

It was Xiao Yi, wearing a Ghost Mask.

Swoosh, Xiao Yi landed instantly.

"Brother Yi," Ye Ming called out excitedly.

Xiao Yi nodded.

"Purple Flame Yi Xiao?" The elders of various Sword Sects were instantly shocked.

"How did you come back so fast?"

"Couldn't defeat that Old Monster Youshui?"

"Did you flee back?"

Xiao Yi gave them a cold glance, "The group from the Black Demon Hall has been completely slaughtered by Yi."

"Let's go, I'll escort you for another part of your journey."

"Escort you back to Meteor County."

Xiao Yi said this,

but he was actually worried about the people from Northern Mountain County.

Now that 'Ice Mountain' had disappeared,

his combat power had significantly decreased. He wasn't sure he could handle another Heavenly Origin Realm Martial Artist.

If someone from the Black Demon Hall were to pursue them, it would be troublesome.

Moreover, the injury on his shoulder, with the stark white bones showing,

also needed him to find a safe place to treat it swiftly.
