Soul Emperor Martial God

Xiao Yi's battle with Bai Mohan was incredibly astonishing.

Even the surrounding Star Fire kept its distance.

On another front, Blood Flame glanced at Ye Ming and shook his head, "You are too weak."

With that, his figure flashed, his body enshrouded in blood-red flames, heading straight for Yue Fenwu.

"Sorry, little princess Fenwu."

Yue Fenwu was not afraid; her fighting spirit was intense.

"Bring it on."

Yue Fenwu cried out softly, her Star Wheel Feather Robe suddenly appearing.

Dots of star wheels, like numerous soft stars.

Sky Blue Fire, blue and white, poured forth.

Though she had the ability to control Star Fire, the skill was not inherent to her.

Thus, her control power was very weak.

Of course, relying on the Star Fire's temperature, which was far superior to Blood Flames.

The outcome of their battle was still unknown.

Although this was a competition of refining skills, it was also a contest of strength.

Passing the previous 32 levels had proven the refining skills of these individuals.

For an alchemist, before advancing to the next rank,

the most important thing was not talent, but sufficient self-protection strength.

Returning to the main point.

The battle between Blood Flame and Yue Fenwu was at a stalemate; neither could outdo the other.

The battle between Xiao Yi and Bai Mohan, however, was thrilling.

The two of them were in a fight to the death.

Xiao Yi had his own plans.

Bai Mohan was seeking revenge for a slap he had received.

Sword flowers fluttered continuously in Bai Mohan's hands.

Xiao Yi frowned slightly, thinking, "This is Elder Luo's Water Endless Sword Dao."

With that thought, a surge of Purple Flame burst forth from his hands, forcefully repelling Bai Mohan.

Meanwhile, Bai Mohan's sword edge turned, and a killing intent emerged within the sword flowers.

Xiao Yi frowned again, thinking, "This is Elder Duan Yun's Killing Sword."

Elder Duan Yun's two famous techniques were the Wandering Cloud Kill Step and the Killing Sword.

Combining the two could yield the greatest effect.

Bai Mohan, it seemed, only knew the Killing Sword, not the Wandering Cloud Kill Step.

This significantly reduced the pressure on Xiao Yi.

It wasn't long before Bai Mohan's swordsmanship changed again.

"This is the Sect Master's Divine Movement Sword Technique."

"This is the Vast Sword Technique of the previous generation of the Sword Sect."

"..."

Xiao Yi felt increasingly horrified.

One after another, the Sky-splitting Sword Sect's secret sword techniques and famous techniques were perfectly displayed in Bai Mohan's hands.

Combined with the Divine Blade's overwhelming edge.

Bai Mohan's combat power had certainly reached the Mid-stage Heavenly Origin.

No wonder so many of the Royal Capital's Heavenly Talents and Heavenly Origin Realm Combatants, unable to even provoke his Martial Soul Power, were easily defeated by him.

Xiao Yi himself had nearly been trapped by his sword techniques several times and almost lost.

"Just dealing with him this way, the Primordial Power inside my body is depleting rapidly," Xiao Yi thought with furrowed brows.

The widespread Purple Flames could block Bai Mohan's attacks,

but they too were depleting rapidly.

If he wanted to force Bai Mohan to reveal all his cards and techniques, Xiao Yi would likely have to use all his own abilities.

Xiao Yi pondered this while continuing his entangled battle with Bai Mohan.

...

Meanwhile, Ye Ming was fretting at his original spot.

He hadn't captured a single Star Power in a long while.

Seeing this from a distance, Elder Mu appeared next to him in a flash.

"Boy, are you still in the Mystic Breakthrough Realm? With just the True Qi in your body, how could you possibly capture Star Fire?"

Elder Mu, seeing that Ye Ming was Yi Xiao's friend, offered some advice.

"You are an alchemist, you should also have some Fire Control ability."

"Bring out your flames, combine them with True Qi, then you can increase the prohibition effect on the Star Fire."

Ye Ming responded with a wry smile, "But my flames are nothing to look at."

"They're just Third-class Flames, they can't really do much."

"Idiot," Elder Mu scolded, "Can't do much is not the same as completely ineffective."

"You haven't even tried, how do you know it's useless?"

"Uh," Ye Ming gave a wry smile again and said, "Thank you for the guidance, Elder Mu."

Saying so, Ye Ming awkwardly summoned his flame, 'Sky Blue Fire'.

When the flames appeared, Elder Mu's face brightened.

"Huh, these are Fire and Wood Dual Attribute flames, not bad indeed, they at least count as Second-class Fire."

"They are only one level below Blood Flame's blood-red flames."

On another side, Great Elder Mu Qingyun watched from afar, not saying much.

In his view, just a Mystic Breakthrough Realm Martial Artist, even with guidance from Elder Mu, couldn't amount to much.

At most, they could capture a few streams of Star Power, which was better than nothing.

However, just at that moment, as soon as his thought settled.

The entire space's Star Fire suddenly went berserk.

Hundreds of streams of Star Fire, like cats that had smelled blood, all surged towards Ye Ming.

Ye Ming was immediately startled.

Before he could react, the Star Fire had flown towards him and passed through the Sky Blue Fire in his hands.

In an instant, the Star Fire burst into brilliant light, and its power surged tremendously.

"What's going on?" Mu Qingyun immediately reacted.

He flashed to Ye Ming's side.

After a glance at the flame in Ye Ming's hand, he exclaimed in surprise, "Fire and Wood Dual Attribute, with an exterior of blue, emanating from an illusion."

"Is this… could this be the Sky Blue Fire?"

Sky Blue Fire was known as one of the most rare flames for an alchemist.

Although its own attack power was not great, it was extremely beneficial for refining.

This fire, born of both fire and wood attributes, would ignite any other flame upon contact, increasing its power tenfold.

Simply put, it was an exceptional nourishment for other flames.

Or rather, a catalyzing power.

"This isn't good, quickly disperse the flame in your hand," Mu Qingyun shouted.

"Otherwise, the hundreds of streams of Star Fire gathered around you will burn you to ashes."

...

On the other side, in the midst of battle were Xiao Yi and Bai Mohan.

As well as Blood Flame and Yue Fenwu.

They were immediately drawn to this bizarre scene.

Xiao Yi, seeing Ye Ming's current situation from afar, immediately leaped over.

"Disperse," Xiao Yi uttered in a low voice.

Intending to forcefully scatter the Sky Blue Fire in Ye Ming's hands.

However, instead of extinguishing, the Sky Blue Fire burned even brighter.

Ye Ming's face was immediately filled with panic, "Damn, I can't control my own flame, I can't disperse it."

Xiao Yi frowned, looking up into the sky, his expression suddenly changed drastically.

The hundreds of streams of Star Fire had already merged into a massive white and blue flame.

"We're in trouble," Xiao Yi cried out in alarm, "Star Fire already contains a faint spiritual intelligence."

"When scattered, the problem isn't too severe."

"Once they merge, their spiritual intelligence greatly increases, as does their power."

"They are consciously drawing the Sky Blue Fire from within Ye Ming's body to nourish themselves and increase their own strength."

At the same time, inside the sealed space, suddenly there was a 'crackling' sound.

The very center of the space started showing hairline cracks.

"What's going on?" Blood Flame and the others were startled.

"The prohibition at the Peak of Medicine Tower, which can forcibly draw the power of the stars."

"Normally, even Martial Artists of the Heavenly Origin Realm absolutely can't produce cracks in this space."

Xiao Yi and Yue Fenwu looked puzzled.

Only Mu Qingyun, Elder Mu, and Bai Mohan seemed to have realized something, their faces turning ashen.

"Could it be… could it be..." Elder Mu involuntarily trembled.

Seeing this, Xiao Yi furrowed his brows tightly, clearly sensing an incredibly terrifying aura of danger gathering in this space.

This aura could destroy everything.

Even Mu Qingyun, such a being, felt his own aura thrown into disarray.

"What on earth is going on? What's happened?" Xiao Yi shouted loudly.

Mu Qingyun snapped back to reality, exclaiming in alarm, "Inside the prohibition, there are a large number of Star Fires."

"Used to maintain the nurturing of medicinal materials for the entire Medicine Tower."

"Over the centuries, the Medicine Tower has absorbed a vast amount of Star Fire."

"Even though it gets captured in large amounts every few years, the quantity is still staggering."

"For hundreds of years, Medicine Tower has never experienced any anomalies."

"But, a few months ago, the Star Fire inside Medicine Tower suddenly increased drastically, causing the entire tower to shake incessantly."

"We had no choice but to forcefully seal it."

Elder Mu took over the conversation, "Kid, remember a few months ago when I asked you to return the Thunder Attraction Wood?"

"Those days, my Medicine King Valley gathered a large number of Fire Control experts, based on the Thunder Attraction Wood, and set up a Great Formation."

"We forcefully sealed the numerous Star Fires."

"Elder Bai was also involved."

Xiao Yi frowned, "Gathering many experts from Medicine King Valley, along with Bai Mohan, and using four Thunder Attraction Woods to set up the seal, should have been as stable as Mount Tai, how could it now…"

"It's the Sky Blue Fire…" Xiao Yi immediately realized.

As soon as his words fell, the cracks in space suddenly intensified.

Countless Star Fires burst forth densely.

In just a few seconds, their number was enough to cover the sky and block out the sun.

"It's over," Mu Qingyun's face was ashen.

...

The second update.
