Soul Emperor Martial God

"Rise." Xiao Yi commanded in a low voice.

Just as his words fell,

Boom... Boom... Boom...

Purple Crystal Spirit Flame, Ten Realms Annihilation Fire, Earth Vein Golden Fire.

Three different colored flames floated in mid-air.

"Fuse." Xiao Yi commanded again in a low voice.

With a wave of his palm, he controlled the fusion of the three flames.

As soon as the three flames touched, they instantly exploded violently.

Clearly, the difficulty of fusion was immense.

The Purple Crystal Spirit Flame destroyed everything, burning up anything it came into contact with.

The Earth Vein Golden Fire was exceptionally volatile, its flames inherently unstable.

Only the Ten Realms Annihilation Fire, though it appeared bizarre, was exceptionally calm.

Of course, beneath this calmness hid a chilling killing intent.

Since Xiao Yi had obtained the Ten Realms Annihilation Fire, he had repeatedly achieved effects with it.

Whether it was human Martial Artists or demon beasts, they often had a great deal of their life force burned away unknowingly,

Leading to a significant decrease in strength.

"Join." Xiao Yi, not deterred, shouted loudly again.

The three flames approached each other once more.

But the result was still a mutual repulsion leading to an explosion and failure.

Xiao Yi frowned.

After multiple continuous failures, Xiao Yi gradually gained some insights.

An hour later.

When the three flames approached each other again, they didn't explode immediately.

Instead, they briefly fused together.

Until a few seconds later, they exploded again.

This indicated that the fused flame was extremely unstable.

Two hours later.

Xiao Yi muttered to himself, "This requires balance."

"One must find the balance point."

Another series of attempts followed.

Three hours later.

Xiao Yi revealed a satisfied smile.

In mid-air, a cluster of three-colored flames floated steadily.

Simply floating quietly.

It already began distorting the surrounding air, even gradually silencing it.

A destructive aura emitted from it, showcasing its immense power.

The three-colored flames were indeed the result of the fusion of the three fires.

"It's done." Xiao Yi smiled faintly.

The Nine Yang Reincarnation Technique was indeed difficult.

But his talent and comprehension were also freakishly strong.

His skill in Fire Control was extremely strong too.

Naturally, the success of the flame fusion was greatly related to Fire Control skills.

And Fire Control skills were somewhat related to the Martial Soul.

The Fire Control Beast Martial Soul was reputed to be the most useless Martial Soul on the continent.

But in Xiao Yi's view, it was the most suitable Martial Soul for him.

The ability of Fire Control Specialization was more useful in Xiao Yi's eyes than any other Martial Soul.

Moreover, he had previous experience with flame fusion.

Though previously he had only fused ordinary flames, at least they could serve as a reference.

Under multiple factors, he managed to successfully fuse the three flames in a short period of time.

However, these were only the third type of flames.

In the future, the more flames there were, the more complex the fusion would become, and the difficulty would also increase drastically.

Of course, to collect the nine strongest flames in the world is extremely difficult.

But there are more than nine flames that can be listed as the strongest in time.

Xiao Yi was not sure how many types there were exactly.

In any case, mastering nine types that met this criterion would suffice.

From this perspective, the difficulty was somewhat lessened.

Boom.

At this moment, Xiao Yi condensed another cluster of three-colored flames.

He sensed it carefully.

That strong aura filled with destruction even took Xiao Yi by surprise.

He could even be sure that with the three-colored flames, he now possessed the strength to overpower Elder Huo.

Purple Crystal Spirit Flame, Ten Realms Annihilation Fire, Earth Vein Golden Fire.

Each one was extremely powerful.

The fusion of the three, combined with the deployment of the enormous Primordial Power from within his Qi Spring.

Its power was beyond words.

...

Dispersing the three-colored flames,

Xiao Yi walked up to the figure of the Sky-splitting Sword Demon.

He bowed deeply.

"Sword Demon Senior, my apologies," Xiao Yi said as he bowed.

He planned to bring the body of the Sky-splitting Sword Demon back to the Sword Sect.

However, he had just started to move.

But suddenly, his heart chilled.

It was a kind of alertness to danger and a quick reaction developed over many years.

He distinctly felt a grim aura behind him.

The aura was filled with killing intent, with coldness.

As if any further action he dared take would immediately trigger a gale-like deadly attack.

"What's going on?" Xiao Yi was shocked.

He found that under this aura, he felt as powerless and weak as duckweed on the sea.

Drops of cold sweat gradually emerged on his forehead.

For a long moment, Xiao Yi did not move.

That sudden chilling presence had just dissipated.

Xiao Yi nervously turned his head and looked behind him.

In that instant, he had clearly sensed the aura of death.

What entered his sight was a colossal figure.

Xiao Yi recognized it at a glance.

It was the Purple Flame Lion King!

However, this Purple Flame Lion King's body was much larger than the ones he had encountered in the beast tide.

The aura was also much more terrifying.

"The Purple Flame Lion King has stepped into the Seventh-level?" Xiao Yi's face turned pale in shock.

He realized that he could not sense the true strength of this lion king at all.

A Seventh-level Demon Beast, in terms of the Demon Essence, could match a Human Martial Artist in the Heavenly Origin Realm.

The normal Purple Flame Lion King, with the power of Demonic Essence from the Earth Origin Ninth Layer, could instantly kill someone in the early-stage Heavenly Origin.

Even mid-stage Heavenly Origin practitioners couldn't hope for a good outcome.

Thus, the strength of a Purple Flame Lion King with the Heavenly Origin Realm's Demon Essence went without saying.

By this time, that killing-intent-filled aura had already dissipated.

But Xiao Yi still couldn't relax.

"Flame Sacred Mountain, how can there be such a powerful Purple Flame Lion King here?"

Xiao Yi wondered in his mind.

But the next second, he suddenly realized.

He saw the huge Purple Flame Lion King wasn't even looking at Xiao Yi.

Then, it casually walked over to the side of the Sky-splitting Sword Demon.

With a thud, it lay down on the ground.

Its massive head nuzzled against the figure of the Sky-splitting Sword Demon.

Then, it started to nap on its own.

The demeanor was extremely comfortable and lazy.

At that moment, another huge Purple Flame Lion King appeared.

Its aura was no less intimidating than the previous one.

It too walked over to the Sky-splitting Sword Demon, lay down, nuzzled, and then fell asleep.

Before long, more Purple Flame Lion Kings appeared.

Gradually, there were eight.

However, these eight Purple Flame Lion Kings didn't have a strong aura, only reaching Earth Origin Ninth Layer.

One of them, Xiao Yi recognized.

It was the one he had encountered during the beast tide in Fire Cloud City.

Two huge lion kings lay down on either side of the Sky-splitting Sword Demon.

The eight smaller ones were behind the Sky-splitting Sword Demon.

Xiao Yi frowned and glanced at the prohibition outside.

This prohibition had been set up by the Sky-splitting Sword Demon.

Other than his successor who held the Northern Mountain Sword Master's Token, no one else could enter.

However, this prohibition did not reject this group of Purple Flame Lion Kings at all.

This proved.

Perhaps just before or at the moment of the Sky-splitting Sword Demon's death,

he had allowed these Purple Flame Lion Kings to enter, or maybe he trusted them.

"Phew." Xiao Yi took a deep breath, bowed again toward the figure of the Sky-splitting Sword Demon.

"Since Senior Sword Demon enjoys staying here, I won't insist on anything else."

After that, Xiao Yi turned around and gradually left.

If he wasn't mistaken, this group of Purple Flame Lion Kings were probably the Sky-splitting Sword Demon's guardian demon beasts.

And between them existed not a forced relationship but a close bond.

Xiao Yi guessed right, but what he did not know was,

The Sky-splitting Sword Demon's real guardian demon beasts were only the two largest ones.

For hundreds of years, since the Sky-splitting Sword Demon's death,

the two Purple Flame Lion Kings had always been guarding here, even reproducing offspring.

In their eyes, their master was always there, just meditating with closed eyes.

They liked to stay beside their master, comfortably napping.

For hundreds of years, as always.

Perhaps, they believed even more that it was the master who had accompanied them for hundreds of years.

Although the master no longer spoke, they didn't care.

...

Xiao Yi did not know these things, nor did he need to know.

Originally, he had made a promise in front of the Tomb of Garments at the Sect,

because he felt the body of the Sky-splitting Sword Demon had been unattended for hundreds of years, lonely and pathetic.

But now, knowing that such a group of demon beasts accompanied it day and night,

he also wouldn't insist anymore.

Moreover, observing the unfathomably deep aura of the two huge Purple Flame Lion Kings,

presumably, even a strong person like Elder Duan Yun might not be their match.

With them guarding, the body of the Sky-splitting Sword Demon would be safe and never desecrated.

Perhaps, this is truly the best resting place for Senior Sword Demon.

...

Soon, Xiao Yi left the Flame Sacred Mountain.

Three-colored flames protected him, and the blazing fire on the mountain couldn't harm him at all.

Swoosh swoosh swoosh...

Xiao Yi's figure flickered and he once again entered the Flame Holy Sect.

At this time, two disciples of the Holy Sect were escorting a group of Martial Artists towards a certain place.

These Martial Artists walked while murmuring with bleak expressions on their faces.

"Alas, even Purple Flame Yi Xiao was defeated by that mysterious strong being."

"What can we do?"

"It's already been three full days, he's probably been burned to ashes on Flame Sacred Mountain, dead beyond doubt now."

...

In the darkness, Xiao Yi gave a faint smile, "Everyone thinks I'm dead?"

"Heh." The corners of Xiao Yi's mouth slightly curled up.

A plan came to his mind.

...

Second update.
