Soul Emperor Martial God

Xiao Yi reached out and took the ring.

As he held the ring, the light surrounding it instantly surged into his mind.

It was the aura left in the prohibition, as well as the information left by the Sky-splitting Sword Demon.

Unexpectedly, the light wrapping the ring,

As well as the light from that book,

constituted the last two pieces of information.

Once Xiao Yi had assimilated the information contained in the light,

He immediately showed a look of astonishment, followed by wild joy.

Yes, wild joy.

It was even more surprising than just having achieved the Earth Element Golden Core and breaking through to the Earth Element Second Layer.

For this ring turned out to be a Primordial Artifact, and it was top-grade.

Named the Furious Flame Ring.

It was the only one recorded in the history of the Flame Martial Kingdom and had been lost to time.

According to the information left by the Sky-splitting Sword Demon,

The Furious Flame Ring was found in some ancient ruins.

He had never used it since finding it.

There simply had been no opportunity to use it.

He had just obtained it when he was already preparing to go to the Flame Sacred Mountain to face the Life and Death Barrier.

Thus, the world did not know that this sole top-grade Elemental Artifact was in his possession.

Also, although the Furious Flame Ring was recorded in history,

It was only the name that was recorded.

As for other information, there were no records at all.

Indeed, the era when the Furious Flame Ring appeared was too ancient.

So ancient that only the name remained in the river of history.

Xiao Yi joyfully slid it onto his finger.

Then, he nodded in satisfaction.

The Furious Flame Ring, on the surface, looked aggressive in design and shape.

It was otherwise unremarkable.

Worn on the finger, most people would think it merely decorative.

He himself could wear it casually.

As for its effects, it was to amplify the power of flames.

Any flame, magnified by it, would turn into a towering fury, drastically increasing in power.

Simply put, its effect was the same as the Flame Gloves.

However, the Furious Flame Ring was the most powerful of all top-grade Elemental Artifacts.

The Flame Gloves were merely low-grade spiritual artifacts.

The difference in their effects was like heaven and earth.

The amplified power of the flames was utterly incomparable.

Originally, Xiao Yi had planned to forge the Flame Gloves into top-grade Spiritual Artifacts.

Unexpectedly, he now had the Furious Flame Ring, a top-grade Elemental Artifact that far surpassed top-grade Spiritual Artifacts.

Besides amplifying the power of flames,

The Furious Flame Ring had another effect.

Like the Universe Ring, it could store items.

Xiao Yi released his perception into it and took a glance inside, immediately gasping at the enormity of the space.

It was so large that it could contain a massive mountain.

As a top-grade Elemental Artifact, it was among the most precious and powerful weapons between heaven and earth.

Its effects were naturally terrifying.

Incidentally, the Furious Flame Slash had no relation to the Furious Flame Ring.

It was just that the Sky-splitting Sword Demon had named his own created Martial Technique after the ring.

After wearing the Furious Flame Ring,

Xiao Yi reached for the second light, the book.

The light transformed into information, pouring into his mind.

When he had fully assimilated this aura, Xiao Yi's expression suddenly turned terribly shocked,

Even more so than when he had just obtained the Furious Flame Ring.

The book's cover bore five large characters: Nine Yang Reincarnation Technique.

Without a doubt, this was a Cultivation Technique.

Years ago, the reason the Sky-splitting Sword Demon chose to break through using Fire Dao,

Was largely due to this Cultivation Technique.

This technique, likewise, was obtained by the Sky-splitting Sword Demon in those ancient ruins.

The book did not specify the grade of the technique.

The Sky-splitting Sword Demon did not know either.

He only knew that this technique was extremely powerful but also incredibly profound.

It was extremely difficult to cultivate.

Even a genius like the Sky-splitting Sword Demon had been unable to master it.

Its efficacy lay in merging some of the most formidable flames in the world.

Nine, representing the extreme in numbers.

Once the nine strongest flames in the world were gathered, they would form a reincarnation cycle.

At that time, the power would be immense, capable even of destroying heaven and earth.

It would return all things in the world to reincarnation.

"Hisss." Xiao Yi inhaled sharply.

He couldn't truly feel the power of this Cultivation Technique; his Cultivation and realm were not yet at that level.

But the few words describing the technique,

had already proven its terrifying and astonishing nature.

No wonder the Sky-splitting Sword Demon had been willing to give up his favored Sword Dao,

and instead diligently pursued the Fire Dao.

To master this technique, first, one needed to possess the most formidable flame in the world.

The Overlord Flame Sword's Martial Soul, endowed with a supreme, dominant fire,

only just met the requirement, barely qualifying as the first type.

The Sky-splitting Sword Demon's second reason for retreating to the Flame Sacred Mountain was to seek the second type of flame.

This second flame resided within the Flame Sacred Mountain itself.

Named Earth Vein Golden Fire.

Rumored to be a Divine Fire that flowed through underground magma.

Existing for an incomparably long time.

Seemingly sentient, it moved along with the magma, automatically traversing the earth veins.

The Sky-splitting Sword Demon had expended great effort to locate its trace.

Xiao Yi furrowed his brows in thought.

The Nine Yang Reincarnation Technique, such a mystical Cultivation Technique, everyone wished to cultivate it.

As the saying goes, "Fortune favors the bold."

Xiao Yi decided to take a risk and search for it.

His enemies were numerous now; he urgently needed strength.

Of course, he just wanted to try.

If he wasn't confident, he wouldn't joke about his life.

With that thought, Xiao Yi turned and left the Prohibition.

Indeed, as soon as he left the Prohibition, a dense, blazing fire instantly attacked him.

With a "boom."

Xiao Yi waved his hand and a swath of Purple Flame enveloped his body.

Had it been before when he was severely wounded, he naturally couldn't have resisted these flames.

But now, his injuries had healed,

and his Cultivation had significantly increased.

Furthermore, the Purple Crystal Spirit Flame, capable of destroying everything, formed a barrier that could naturally withstand these flames.

Naturally, the Primordial Power within Xiao Yi's body was also rapidly depleting.

By his estimate, he had about an hour.

Including the time to return to the Prohibition.

He only had half an hour to search.

Adding a margin for safety and leaving more Primordial Power for the journey back,

his time was definitely less than half an hour.

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

Xiao Yi's figure dashed swiftly.

20 minutes later.

He arrived at the peak of the Holy Mountain.

The peak turned out to be a huge volcanic crater.

And it was an active volcano.

Inside, magma surged violently, extremely frightful.

Even standing at the edge of the volcano, Xiao Yi felt uneasy due to the waves of heat.

According to information left by the Sky-splitting Sword Demon, it was here that he had found the Earth Vein Golden Fire.

And he had restrained it.

Hundreds of years had passed since then.

It was unknown whether the Earth Vein Golden Fire had broken the Prohibition, or if it had left.

The entire earth vein spanned the deepest parts of the continent's surface.

The Earth Vein Golden Fire, wandering everywhere, was almost impossible to trace again.

However, Xiao Yi seemed to be in luck.

The methods used by the Sky-splitting Sword Demon back in the day were indeed formidable.

Hundreds of years had passed, and his Prohibition had not been breached by the Earth Vein Golden Fire.

Of course, the Prohibition had weakened considerably.

He estimated that if he had come a few years later, it would have broken the Prohibition and escaped.

...

Third update.

I remember owing an update yesterday, but I'm temporarily unable to make up for it.

I can only apologize and plan to make it up later.
