Soul Emperor Martial God

Elder Mu continued,

"The Prohibition at the Peak of Medicine Tower forcibly absorbs a massive amount of Star Power every year."

"It serves to nurture the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures within the tower."

"Every few years, the accumulation of Star Power will surge, leading to an excess."

"Star Power is a form of Heaven and Earth Power."

"It can nurture not only Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures but also the human body."

"It has miraculous effects such as tempering the body, increasing Cultivation, enhancing comprehension, and overcoming Martial Arts Bottlenecks."

Upon hearing these words, Xiao Yi glanced at the Star Power surrounding him.

The Star Power, as if sentient, darted about chaotically.

It radiated a terrifying high temperature and was extremely volatile.

Clearly, it was a kind of flame, another name for Star Fire, derived from its nature.

Moreover, since it is a Heaven and Earth Power, it is undoubtedly extremely pure.

Whether tempering the body or increasing Cultivation, the effect must be significant.

Describing it as miraculous was not an exaggeration.

This was somewhat similar to the Sword Qi inside the assessments of the Sky-splitting Sword Sect's Sword Pavilion, which also increased one's own Cultivation after being shattered or captured.

However, compared to that Sword Qi,

The Star Power here was much more astounding in effect.

And while those Sword Qi could only increase Cultivation,

Star Power could increase Cultivation, temper the body, enhance comprehension, and help overcome Martial Arts Bottlenecks, making it far more precious.

At that moment, Xiao Yi looked meaningfully at Yue Fenwu.

When they had stepped onto the 33rd floor,

Everyone had shown a look of surprise, only she had smiled slightly.

Clearly, she had been here before.

Moreover, her strong flame with a mix of blue and white had the same aura as the Star Fire here.

Obviously, the flame she controlled was Star Fire.

The Star Wheel Feather Robe naturally did not possess flame attributes or abilities.

But the star wheel on the robe resonated with the aura of the stars.

If he was not mistaken, it was likely that a mighty Cultivator with immense power had forcibly imprinted this Star Fire onto her Feather Robe Martial Soul.

And had condensed a Flame Seed.

This allowed her to wield the power of Star Fire.

Considering her status as a prized disciple of the Valley Master, her previous visit here seemed reasonable.

And that immensely powerful Cultivator must be the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley.

Of course, since her Martial Soul did not naturally possess this capability,

To forcibly infuse it this way,

Would make the already volatile Star Power even more unstable and difficult to control.

Xiao Yi now understood why he had previously sensed an extremely unstable flame inside her.

At this moment, Elder Mu continued, "Currently, these 333 strands of Star Power around us represent the excess accumulated over the years."

"Your competition will be judged by the amount of Star Power captured."

"The one who captures the most will rank first in this Royal Capital's grand competition."

"The reward for first place is the choice of any two Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures."

Saying this, Elder Mu glanced at the central pile of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, stacked like a mountain.

Among them, there were even Eighth Grade Heavenly Materials, their effects considered top-grade.

"This grand competition, whether the Star Power or our Medicine King Valley's rewards, both are precious treasures not to be missed."

"Whatever you can acquire depends solely on your own abilities."

"If there are no doubts, this competition officially begins."

As Elder Mu's voice fell,

Xiao Yi, Ye Ming, Yue Fenwu, Blood Flame, and Bai Mohan, all five instantly flashed, dashing toward the surrounding Star Fire.

"Prohibition," Bai Mohan shouted first.

A Prohibition fell instantly, trapping a strand of Star Fire.

But the streak of blue and white light obviously did not want to be captured without a fight.

It crashed within the Prohibition, and after a while, it directly burned a small hole and burst out.

Xiao Yi glanced at them and was slightly startled, "These Star Fires already possess weak spiritual intelligence."

"And, this one ranks among the strongest flames in the world, with an extremely high temperature."

"Catching them is no easy task."

Minutes gradually passed.

The figures of five people leaped freely within the massive spatial barrier of the 33rd floor.

Apart from Bai Mohan's figure which seemed quite adept, gradually increasing the strength of the Prohibition and capturing two Star Fires,

The other four seemed somewhat at a loss.

However, gradually, these were no ordinary people; they started leveraging their own strength and managed to capture one.

"Don't think about escaping," Xiao Yi shouted in a low voice.

With a wave of his hand, a sky full of Purple Flames poured out.

Instantly enveloping several Star Fires.

As one of the strongest flames in the world, Star Fire excels in being sufficiently violent and extremely fast.

Whereas the Purple Crystal Spirit Flame is about the effect of Destroying Everything, including burning these Star Fires.

The Star Fire, possessing some spiritual intelligence, dared not move within the Purple Flame, fearing being burnt to ashes.

Xiao Yi sneered coldly and shouted, "Capture."

He grasped a Star Fire in his hand, and then, it was absorbed instantaneously.

Pure energy entered his body, and Xiao Yi suddenly felt invigorated, his body feeling refreshed and clear-headed.

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

The Star Fire, with its strange high temperature, could burn off bodily impurities and temper the flesh.

Achieving the miraculous effect of enhancing physical strength.

The pure power contained within could be transformed into Primordial Power inside the body, increasing Cultivation.

And because this was Heaven and Earth Power, it also contained a trace of the Power of Heaven and Earth Laws.

It could enhance comprehension and aid in overcoming Martial Arts Bottlenecks.

Knowing its miraculous effects, Xiao Yi no longer hesitated and immediately captured the other Star Fires restrained within the Purple Flame.

Transforming them into his own power.

Meanwhile, Mu Qingyun and Elder Mu were making records among the pile of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

Xiao Yi and the others also progressively began to capture Star Fires.

Only Ye Ming was still frantically chasing after a Star Power.

As Elder Mu said, this competition, if one lacked strength, coming here would be futile.

One wouldn't gain any benefits.

But, perhaps as the heavens don't fail those who try, Ye Ming finally managed to painfully capture one.

Just as he was about to absorb the Star Fire,

Blood Flame appeared out of nowhere, snatched the Star Fire, and absorbed it first.

"What are you doing?" Xiao Yi's face turned cold, appearing instantly beside Ye Ming.

Blood Flame sneered, "Purple Flame, did you not listen to the rules carefully just now?"

"This competition is about the quantity of Star Fires captured."

"Besides those we catch ourselves, we can also snatch others'."

"This is a genuine test of strength."

Xiao Yi frowned, "According to that, I could snatch yours too."

"Correct," Blood Flame said coldly, "but I doubt you'll have the leisure time to deal with me."

Xiao Yi frowned, turning his head.

There, Bai Mohan was holding the Divine Blade, staring coldly at him.

"No wonder you stopped fighting outside the Medicine Tower after I slapped you," Xiao Yi sneered.

"You wanted to settle the battle here."

As a distinguished guest of Medicine King Valley, Bai Mohan seemed to have known the rules of this competition at the Peak of Medicine Tower early on.

Thus outside the Medicine Tower, in public, he was not eager to make a move.

Mu Qingyun's intervention also made him stop immediately.

"Today you shall not get even one Star Fire," Bai Mohan's face was grim.

"Purple Flame Yi Xiao, after this refining competition, will only become a joke."

As soon as the words fell, Bai Mohan made his move instantly.

Xiao Yi was not scared at all; the battle between the two erupted instantly.
