Soul Emperor Martial God

Dense clusters of Star Fire surged forth.

The sensation of a locust swarm blotting out the sky struck fear into one's heart.

Ahead was a massive, blue-white flame, formed from the gathering of hundreds of strands of Star Fire.

"It must be this, breaking through the seals with the pull of countless stars."

Xiao Yi watched the huge blue-white flame with a cold gaze.

Originally, the hundreds of strands of Star Fire scattered throughout these 33 layers of space, each one dispersed.

Their power was weaker, and although they possessed spiritual intelligence, it was minuscule.

Their spiritual intelligence was so weak it amounted to nothing more than the most basic instinct to flee.

However, after being drawn together by Ye Ming's 'Sky Blue Fire,' they began to fuse.

Their spiritual intelligence was merging as well.

What was once feeble intelligence, skyrocketed in an instant.

Now, the spiritual intelligence of this huge flame was no less than that of a demon beast.

Naturally, upon sensing its 'companions' trapped by seals, it strenuously drew them out.

The vast number of Star Fire strands Medicine Tower had absorbed over its thousand years of existence was immense.

Moreover, they were the essence of Heaven and Earth Power, not something that could simply be sealed away.

It was only because each strand had such weak intelligence, drifting apart from each other, not understanding resistance,

that they could be sealed by the four pieces of Thunder Attraction Wood.

Now, driven by the attraction of the Star Fire, they instinctively crashed against the seals.

The accumulated Star Fire over the millennia was incredibly ferocious.

It instantly broke through the seals.

At the same time, countless strands of Star Fire coming from the seals also prepared to merge.

"They're planning to merge. Quick, scatter them!" Xiao Yi's voice thundered.

Mu Qingyun and Elder Mu also reacted instantly.

"If all these strands of Star Fire go berserk, not just the Medicine Tower but all of Medicine King Valley will be finished."

"Leave the giant Star Fire to me, you handle the numerous smaller strands."

While there were countless strands of Star Fire now, they were still within a controllable range.

As long as they were prevented from merging, eliminating them one by one was just a matter of time.

They just needed to keep the Star Fire in check, preventing it from drawing out more strands.

Then, they needed to repair the seal.

Everyone acted in an instant.

At this moment, however, Ye Ming had already collapsed weakly to the ground, depleted of True Qi due to Sky Blue Fire uncontrollably being absorbed by the Star Fire, unable to control it.

Mu Qingyun glared at him with resentment, "If anything happens to Medicine Tower, I'll hold only you accountable."

Without another word, his figure flashed, he instantly approached the giant blue-white flame.

Among those present, his Cultivation was the highest, his strength the greatest; it was up to him to confront the Star Fire.

...

Mu Qingyun, truly worthy of being Medicine King Valley's Great Elder, one of the pinnacle powers.

He restrained the Star Fire with a single movement.

After all, the Star Fire was merely the fusion of over three hundred strands.

Despite possessing extraordinary spiritual intelligence, its power was limited.

As expected, no additional Star Fire emerged from within the seal.

On the other side, Xiao Yi, Bai Mohan, Yue Fenwu, Blood Flame, and Elder Mu, faced the thousands of weak Star Fire strands.

The flames from the five of them poured out, easily annihilating swathes of Star Fire.

Which then transformed into pure power and entered their bodies.

At this rate, it would only be a few hours.

Before the 33rd layer returned to normal.

However, just seconds later, an exclamation of shock came from Mu Qingyun's direction.

The Prohibition restraining the Star Fire was being continuously burned through by the Star Fire.

Before long, the Star Fire would break the seal.

Xiao Yi looked over and shouted, "Mu Qingyun, what are you doing?"

"Just scatter it."

Mu Qingyun's expression turned ugly, "Do I need you to teach me?"

"The problem is it can't be scattered."

Saying this, Mu Qingyun's hands shot out several palms.

The Star Fire instantly scattered but then immediately merged again.

"Fire is a substance of nothingness; if it lacks spiritual intelligence, once scattered, it stays scattered."

"Now with spiritual intelligence, even if scattered, they will automatically merge back together."

Mu Qingyun explained.

Xiao Yi commanded, "Then destroy it directly."

"Destroyed?" Mu Qingyun frowned.

"Such a magnificent Star Fire is a rare treasure."

"Anyone who consumes it would see a huge rise in their Cultivation."

"To destroy it would be a waste."

No sooner had Mu Qingyun spoken than the Star Fire destroyed his Prohibition.

As soon as it left the seal, the Star Fire again drew out a great number of strands.

Mu Qingyun was shocked and quickly laid down another Prohibition to trap it.

Xiao Yi's expression turned grave, "Mu Qingyun, how long can you trap the Star Fire?"

"If it continues to pull out a vast amount of Star Fire, it's unthinkable."

"Hahahahaha." Just at that moment, Bai Mohan burst out laughing.

"Since that's the case, let this young master absorb it."

After saying this, Bai Mohan's figure flashed, and he instantly appeared beside Mu Qingyun.

With a wave of his hand, he prepared to absorb the huge mass of blue-white flames.

However, the Star Fire fiercely resisted.

Bai Mohan couldn't succeed so easily.

Before long, the Prohibition placed by Mu Qingyun was once again burned away by the Star Fire.

Free from the Prohibition, the Star Fire once again attracted a large amount of Star Fires.

Mu Qingyun and Bai Mohan still wouldn't give up.

Mu Qingyun once again confined the Star Fire.

Bai Mohan tried to absorb it a second time.

On the other side, Xiao Yi and the others were busy dealing with thousands upon thousands of weaker Star Fires and simply couldn't stop them.

Time gradually passed.

The Star Fire had broken free from the Prohibition several times.

The number of ordinary Star Fires in the space was increasing ever more.

"Evil obstruction, give up resisting," Bai Mohan's expression turned cold, repeatedly failing to successfully absorb the mass of Star Fire.

He unleashed a palm strike, intending to forcefully capture it.

Unexpectedly, as his palm struck out, the Star Fire was dispersed.

Then it rapidly scattered.

The densely packed ordinary Star Fires in the space surged towards it instantly.

By the time Mu Qingyun and Bai Mohan realized this,

the original mass of Star Fire had already grown several times larger.

"We're in trouble," Mu Qingyun exclaimed in shock.

He could never have imagined that the Star Fire could be so cunning.

Only then did he think of completely destroying it.

But it was already too late.

The Star Fire had grown several times larger, and its strength had also increased several-fold.

Mu Qingyun could no longer easily confine it.

Thousands upon thousands of ordinary Star Fires were being quickly absorbed by the Star Fire.

The Star Fire was swelling at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Its aura was also becoming increasingly terrifying.

At the same time, its spiritual intelligence was also soaring.

"Bang bang..."

A few powerful flames were shot out from the Star Fire.

They headed straight for Xiao Yi and the others.

Clearly, the Star Fire would no longer allow anyone to destroy its power.

Xiao Yi and his companions were startled and hastily retreated.

Several people returned to their original spot.

"That mass of Star Fire is now beyond what we can handle," Xiao Yi said through clenched teeth, his gaze turning coldly towards Mu Qingyun and Bai Mohan.

If it hadn't been for these two trying to destroy it earlier, they wouldn't be facing this situation now.

Mu Qingyun's complexion turned ugly.

Xiao Yi looked at Elder Mu and asked, "Your Medicine Tower has had a Prohibition for thousands of years, forcibly drawing Star Fires from the sky."

"That Prohibition should naturally be able to confine them."

"Why not use it?"

Elder Mu rapidly answered, "If the Prohibition were effective, would we have needed to set up another seal a few days ago?"

"The Medicine Tower's Prohibition is strong, but these Star Fires are no ordinary thing."

"Even the Medicine Tower's Prohibition can no longer suppress them."

"A few days ago, we had to gather a group of Fire Control masters, along with four pieces of Thunder Attraction Wood, to mobilize Heaven and Earth Power and lay down the seal."

"We didn't expect that the Star Fires would still forcefully break out."

"What do we do now?"

Elder Mu looked towards Mu Qingyun.

Mu Qingyun shook his head, his face ashen, and he simply uttered a few words, "There's nothing we can do."

Xiao Yi's face changed, and he quickly picked up the weakened Ye Ming who had fallen to the ground.

He said solemnly, "Since this is a disaster of your own making, resolve it yourselves."

"Please forgive me, but I can no longer keep you company."

With that, Xiao Yi turned and left.

The present situation had already gone beyond his ability to help.

The mass of Star Fire was continuously growing stronger, and the rate of its growth was alarming.

If they didn't leave now, a few minutes later, escape would be impossible.

"You can't leave," Mu Qingyun shook his head.

"Let me tell you the truth, the Medicine Tower is in essence a giant Alchemy Furnace."

"It's also the treasure that guards Medicine King Valley."

"With the Star Fire running amok, all 33 floors of the Medicine Tower will be filled with these flames."

"The Prohibition of the Medicine Tower will also automatically activate, with the effect of refining."

"A simple explanation is that right now, everything within the Medicine Tower will turn into materials."

"It will be burned by these Star Fires and eventually turned to ashes."

"What..." Xiao Yi's face instantly turned deathly pale.

...

First release.
