Soul Emperor Martial God

Outside the Medicine Tower.

At the summit of the towering building, a great fire suddenly erupted into the clouds.

Below, the powerful figures of various forces, who were waiting for their prodigies, were startled.

"What's going on?"

"The blue and white flames at the top of the Medicine Tower are emitting an extremely terrifying aura."

"Could something have happened inside?"

Many people discussed loudly.

Suddenly, one person said, "What could possibly happen?"

"This place is Medicine King Valley, the holy land of alchemists in the entire Flame Martial Kingdom."

"Before us stands the Medicine Tower."

"Inside, there is an extreme realm expert like Elder Mu Qingyun sitting in authority."

"What could possibly happen?"

With these words, everyone laughed knowingly.

"Yes, they must be engaged in an intense competition inside."

"That must be the cause of this anomaly."

"No need to worry."

...

Inside the Medicine Tower, on the 33rd floor.

Xiao Yi said coldly, "Does the elder mean that we can only wait here to die?"

Mu Qingyun did not speak but nodded slightly.

Beside him, Bai Mohan's face changed dramatically, and he clenched his teeth, "Impossible."

"This son refuses to wait here to die."

Having said that, Bai Mohan swung his sword several times, sending out powerful Sword Qi, attempting to break the spatial barrier.

However, when the Sword Qi hit the barrier, it only caused a slight ripple and could not shake it at all.

At the same time.

The huge blue and white flames in front of them were swelling at an alarming rate.

Inside the seal, countless Star Fires were being drawn out at a terrifying speed.

Gradually, these Star Fires enveloped the entire space.

From a distance, the surroundings were filled with blue and white flames.

This place had seemingly turned into a fiery purgatory.

Bai Mohan stubbornly continued to unleash Sword Qi.

At this moment, his Sword Qi had not even reached the spatial barrier before it was completely consumed by the surrounding blue and white flames.

"Damn it." Bai Mohan showed a fierce expression for the first time.

In such a dire situation, teetering on the brink of life and death, who could suppress their anxiety?

Blood Flame and Yue Fenwu also continuously unleashed flames from their hands, but to no avail.

Although Yue Fenwu could control the Star Fire, it was only a tiny amount and completely ineffective.

"Damn it," Blood Flame cursed angrily.

"Purple Flame Yi Xiao, aren't you very powerful? Aren't you a Sub Hall Master of the Demon Hunting Hall?"

"Now that the mass of Star Fire has become a Fire Demon."

"Why aren't you killing it swiftly?"

"Why aren't you saving us?"

Xiao Yi ignored them, but his face was equally desperate, his Purple Flame surging forth.

The attack of the Purple Crystal Spirit Flame did have an effect.

Large swaths of Star Fire were destroyed.

The Purple Crystal Spirit Flame, with its effect of destroying everything, even the Star Fire could not withstand it.

But, the cost was that the Purple Flame itself was also being consumed.

Xiao Yi's Primordial Power inside his body was also being rapidly depleted.

And the Star Fire continued to overflow from the seal endlessly.

Looking at the situation, even if his Primordial Power was exhausted.

The spatial barrier would still not be affected in the slightest.

"It's useless." Mu Qingyun shook his head and also struck out fully with his palm.

With his cultivation, he instantly dispersed a large amount of flames.

Even the spatial barrier trembled.

But, it was still of no use.

"To break the barrier, one must first disperse these flames."

"To disperse these flames, there must be a stronger flame that surpasses them."

Saying so, Mu Qingyun looked at Xiao Yi.

"Yi Xiao, I admit your Purple Crystal Spirit Flame is strong."

"But, your cultivation is too weak."

"If your cultivation could reach my level, combined with your Purple Crystal Spirit Flame."

"We might really have a chance to escape this ordeal."

Bai Mohan, hearing this, cursed angrily, "Damn, it's a waste to possess such powerful flames without ability."

Yue Fenwu spoke up, "This can't be blamed on Yi Xiao, the Branch Hall Master."

"Elder Mu Qingyun is how old? And how old is the Yi Xiao Branch Hall Master?"

"Instead of wasting time blaming, we might as well think of a solution."

At this moment, the mass of Star Fire grew even larger.

The Star Fire that Medicine King Valley had accumulated for thousands of years had mostly been drawn out.

And was being merged by it.

The temperature in the entire 33rd-floor space of the Medicine Tower was frighteningly high.

It even caused the void air to slightly distort.

Everything inside was slowly evaporating under this high temperature.

At the very center, a pile of legendary rare Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures was gradually melting.

Beneath that perfect exterior, enticing medicinal liquid began to seep out.

The rich medicinal fragrance was intoxicating, heartbreaking, and also alarming.

Present were all renowned alchemists.

Naturally, they knew this was an essential process in refining.

To watch so many seventh-grade and eighth-grade Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures slowly turn into medicinal potency.

For any alchemist, it was a privilege and a rare opportunity.

But, now the alchemists themselves had also become ingredients in the Medicine Furnace.

What an irony, and how terrifying.

The fate of those Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures was soon to be their own.

Those Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures were exuding perfect medicinal liquid.

Those present, however, would be exuding fresh blood and life.

"Breath… breath…" everyone started panting.

The intense high temperatures were unbearable even for their level of Cultivation.

Everyone was sweating profusely, their clothes soaked with sweat.

The Medicine Tower was essentially a gigantic Alchemy Furnace.

In terms of grade, it was definitely above the eighth grade.

An Eighth Grade Alchemy Furnace, its degree of preciousness and rarity, was comparable to an Extreme Realm Expert.

Combined with the Star Fire that had fused over the centuries.

Its power was imaginable.

Time slowly passed.

The light white flames almost engulfed the entire space.

Everyone could only muster their own flames and Primordial Power Barriers as a defense.

Ye Ming was powerless to resist.

Xiao Yi had already released the Purple Flame, enveloping both of them.

On the other side, the youngest and weakest, Yue Fenwu, also began to struggle.

Xiao Yi glanced over, the protective barrier formed by the Purple Flame was not big, but not small either.

Accommodating one more person was not a problem.

"Little princess, come in," Xiao Yi said, slightly opening a gap in the Purple Flame Barrier.

Yue Fenwu nodded and hurriedly entered.

It wasn't that Mu Qingyun and Elder Mu didn't want to protect her.

Rather, the dense Star Fire made even their own defense very difficult, they were barely managing themselves.

Their flames could barely block these Star Fires and they had to support them with their own substantial Primordial Power.

Xiao Yi, with his innate Purple Crystal Spirit Flame, was not afraid of these Star Fires and thus defended with ease.

Time once again slowly passed.

Inside the Purple Flame Barrier, Ye Ming's face was bloodless, yet he managed a grim smile.

"Brother Yi, it seems this time, we are undoubtedly going to die."

"However, to die alongside you is also an honor for me, Ye Ming."

"What?" Xiao Yi smiled and said, "Do you really want to die?"

"If you do, I'll just leave you here."

Ye Ming laughed heartily, "True to form, Brother Yi, you can still joke so calmly in such a crisis."

"Facing death so lightly, Brother Yi, you truly are formidable."

Beside them, Yue Fenwu had remained silent, merely watching quietly.

Although she couldn't see the face hidden beneath the mask,

she could clearly feel that the person in front of her had never panicked nor given up.

Even as sweat drenched his forehead, his eyes beneath that mask were still so determined.

For a moment, she desperately wanted to see the true face hidden beneath that mask.

What kind of man was he really?

"Heh," Xiao Yi chuckled lightly at that moment, "Facing death, naturally everyone is afraid."

"But I know I won't die, so there's no need to fear."

"What?" Ye Ming exclaimed.

The people outside the Purple Flame Barrier were also startled.

Xiao Yi chuckled, "I, Yi, have survived countless dangerous places."

"And I am still very much alive today."

"This time, this Medicine Tower will not claim my life either."

As he spoke, evident arrogance crossed Xiao Yi's face.

He suddenly produced a cluster of Three-colored Flames in his hand.

Indeed, it was a combination of the Purple Crystal Spirit Flame, the Ten Realms Annihilation Fire, and the Earth Vein Golden Fire.

Xiao Yi had been waiting and brewing all along.

He knew that the Three-colored Flame alone couldn't break the barrier of this prohibited space.

Thus, he could only keep depleting his internal Primordial Power.

Continuously compressing the Three-colored Flame.

The flame he currently held, though only the size of a palm,

contained more than half of the Primordial Power from his vast Qi Spring.

His vast Qi Spring, even now reduced to 50% of its height, contained an extremely astonishing amount of Primordial Power.

He had wanted to continue compressing it, to maximize his chances.

But now, there was no more time.

That cluster of Star Fire in the distance had already almost merged all the Star Flames.

That was no longer a mere cluster of flames.

It was essentially a demon beast, a Star Fire Demon.

Delaying any further would mean death for everyone.

The next second, Xiao Yi threw his hand, launching the Three-colored Flames towards the spatial barrier.

With a loud "Boom", the space vibrated instantly.

The entire space suddenly whitened.

When everyone realized what had happened, the barrier in front of them had been blasted open.

Of course, the gap was quickly self-repairing.

Everyone had to escape quickly.

Without needing Xiao Yi to say more, Mu Qingyun and others had already sprinted, leaping towards the gap.

Xiao Yi, too, grabbed Ye Ming with one hand, and Yue Fenwu with the other, throwing them fiercely.

He threw them towards the gap.

Of course, throwing Ye Ming was the main intent, Yue Fenwu was just incidental.

"Ah." Amidst their shocked cries, both were thrown out of the 33rd floor of the Medicine Tower.

It was then that Xiao Yi made his move, vanishing in an instant.

But, because he had delayed a step earlier,

Mu Qingyun and the others had already escaped.

He, who had blown open the space barrier, ended up being the last to leave.

Of course, being able to escape was fortunate.

But at that moment,

outside the gap, Bai Mohan suddenly turned around, his eyes dark and his expression extremely cold.

A terrifying Sword Qi issued from his hand, shooting straight at Xiao Yi, who was about to fly through the gap.

It was a Sword Qi given for protection by the Sword Sect Master, its tremendous power was imaginable.

Inside the gap, Xiao Yi was startled and quickly defended.

"Poof," Xiao Yi spat out a mouthful of blood, utterly unable to resist.

He was blasted back by the force of the Sword Qi, failing to escape through the gap.

By then, the brief moment had passed, and the spatial barrier had already completely self-repaired.

...

Second update.
