Soul Emperor Martial God

Countless Star Fires, emitting a pale blue and white light, assaulted Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi felt a surge of urgency and quickly sheathed his Frost Sword.

In its place, his left hand flashed a seemingly ordinary ring that suddenly burst into brilliant light.

It was the Furious Flame Ring.

At this moment, Xiao Yi had depleted all his Primordial Power.

He could only rely on the power within the Furious Flame Ring to maintain the Purple Flame and protect himself.

The Furious Flame Ring was a top-grade Primordial Artifact.

The power it contained was enormous, and it feared it would support him for quite some time.

The Purple Flame and the Star Fire constantly neutralized each other.

The being of spiritual intelligence, seeing it could not overcome Xiao Yi, began to pulse wildly in frustration.

After a while, it shifted its focus elsewhere.

Beside its massive flaming body, something huge appeared to be taking shape.

Upon closer inspection, it was an Elixir, albeit still an embryo.

The seventh and eighth-grade Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures in the very center of the 33rd layer were continuously melting.

Streams of pure medicinal essence seeped out, flowing toward the embryonic Dan Medicine.

At the same time, medicinal power was surging from the lower floors of the tower.

Xiao Yi glanced over and immediately inhaled sharply.

"Hiss."

Countless Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures within the entire Medicine Tower were being refined at this moment.

The Medicine Tower itself was essentially a massive Alchemy Furnace.

The Star Fire served as the flame for refining.

The countless Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures were the ingredients.

The Star Fire Demon had not only mastered the prohibition at the top of the Medicine Tower,

but it also activated the refining function of the Medicine Tower.

Every floor was piled high with rare and precious Heavenly Materials.

Above the 20th floor, everything was of sixth-grade quality.

Above the 25th floor, they were all seventh-grade.

And on the 33rd floor, a large number of eighth-grade Heavenly Materials had appeared.

The rare treasures that Medicine King Valley had cherished for hundreds of years were all here.

What would the Elixir refined from all of them be like, how terrifying?

"If half an hour passes, the Elixir will take form," the creature of spiritual intelligence cackled.

"Foolish human, you will become one of the materials for that Elixir."

Xiao Yi remained silent at its words.

The power within the Furious Flame Ring was enough to sustain him for quite a while.

But after half an hour, once the Elixir took form,

the Star Fire Demon would surely surge in strength once it consumed the Elixir.

By then, his Purple Flame definitely could not continue to resist.

It would probably be the time of his death.

"I cannot just wait for death." Xiao Yi thought to himself determinedly.

His figure flashed again, charging directly towards the intelligent being.

At all costs, a desperate struggle.

With the power borrowed from the Furious Flame Ring, the Three-colored Flames condensed and burst forth,

violently striking the intelligent being.

The spiritual intelligence of the Star Fire Demon didn't dodge or evade.

It exploded spectacularly, the intelligence blown to bits.

But after a short time, it merged back together of its own accord.

"Foolish human, it's no use," the intelligence cackled.

"It doesn't matter if it's futile; I won't let you off easy," Xiao Yi resolved.

He had clearly noticed that when the intelligence was blown apart,

the flames burning the entire Medicine Tower hesitated for a moment.

The formation of that massive embryonic Elixir also momentarily halted.

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

The Three-colored Flames repeatedly exploded, repeatedly destroying the Star Fire Demon's spiritual intelligence.

And each time, the intelligence autonomously reformed.

If he couldn't completely destroy the intelligence, then he would just have to buy some time.

This was the only strategy Xiao Yi could think of at the moment.

However, after a mere ten minutes or so,

the intelligence of the Star Fire Demon went into an utter rage.

"Despicable human, I've tolerated you for long enough."

"Dare to hinder my good fortune, if you wish for an early death, I shall fulfill it."

As soon as these words were spoken, the Star Fire throughout the entire space transformed into overwhelming flames that instantaneously surged towards Xiao Yi.

"What?" Xiao Yi was taken aback.

The Star Fire Demon had evolved in just this short period of time, from weak combat awareness to incredibly sharp and efficient fire control prowess.

One could only imagine how high the Star Fire Demon's spiritual intelligence truly was.

"It's over." A sense of helplessness flashed through Xiao Yi's mind.

Faced with the onslaught of all the Star Fires, such a level of attack would surely lead to certain death even for a Martial Artist of Mu Qingyun's caliber.

How could I possibly defend against it?

On the other side, all the Star Fire was being manipulated.

The Dan Medicine Embryo was also being refined at an extremely fast pace.

All the medicinal power of the Medicine Tower had been summoned to this space and then added to the Dan Medicine Embryo.

It was just waiting for the Star Fire to completely refine it into shape.

"Pitiful human, die." The spiritual intelligence cackled viciously.

Xiao Yi's heart pounded with panic, yet he was powerless.

The Three-colored Flames were his greatest trump card up to now, yet even they were useless, what more could he do?

No!

Suddenly, Xiao Yi fiercely remembered, his greatest trump card wasn't the Three-colored Flames at all.

Nor was it the Furious Flame Ring or anything else.

It was... the Ice Phoenix Sword!

It had always been his biggest trump card.

The thought had just formed in his mind.

A Supreme Divine Sword materialized in his hand.

A towering chill enveloped the surroundings in an instant.

It was the Ice Phoenix Sword.

A blue phantom, as though it had crossed spatial shackles and surpassed temporal constraints,

Flashed by.

Instantly appearing above the spiritual intelligence of the Star Fire Demon.

And, before that towering Star Fire could strike at Xiao Yi,

It pierced directly through the spiritual intelligence of the Star Fire Demon.

"It's useless, my spiritual intelligence won't be scattered..." The spiritual intelligence cackled.

But the laughter abruptly ceased.

Replaced by a sense of panic.

"How... how is this possible..." The spiritual intelligence had no face, but its rapid pulsing declared its terror.

The next second, the spiritual intelligence was shattered to pieces, no longer able to merge.

What was previously a faint bundle of Star Fire, now floated aimlessly like something without an owner.

The next second, it was forcibly absorbed by the Ice Phoenix Sword.

Simultaneously, Xiao Yi distinctly felt a change within the Small World inside him.

Upon introspection,

Sure enough, in the Small World, beside the Ice Phoenix Sword Soul, was the Fire Control Beast Martial Soul.

The bundle of Star Fire, through the Ice Phoenix Sword Soul, appeared in the Small World.

The simple-looking Fire Control Beast suddenly opened its mouth and swallowed the Star Fire.

In a short while, the Small World inside him regained its calm.

And Xiao Yi gained control of another type of flame, the Star Fire.

With a "bang,"

A cluster of flames, exuding a cyan-white color, coalesced in Xiao Yi's hand.

Xiao Yi smiled with joy, never expecting such a gain.

Certainly, the Star Fire could be counted among the fierce flames of the world.

On par with the Purple Crystal Spirit Flame, Ten Realms Annihilation Fire, and Earth Vein Golden Fire.

"Indeed, Ice Phoenix Sword, you never disappoint me." Xiao Yi looked at the Ice Phoenix Sword in his hand, smiling contentedly.

"You've saved my life again."

However, Xiao Yi had just finished his words of praise,

When the Ice Phoenix Sword suddenly quivered.

"Hm?" Xiao Yi furrowed his brows.

Before he could react,

Whoosh, the Ice Phoenix Sword, carrying him, flew swiftly in a certain direction.

When the Ice Phoenix Sword stopped, it had arrived in front of the enormous Dan Medicine Embryo.

The light flashed.

The Dan Medicine Embryo was entirely absorbed by the Ice Phoenix Sword.

"Can it be, you're this greedy?" Xiao Yi exclaimed in surprise, and then his complexion changed dramatically.

Because that Dan Medicine Embryo had now appeared inside his own Small World.

And the turbulent Star Fire of this space surged towards him in an instant.

At the final moment when the spiritual intelligence was extinguished, its task was to completely refine the Dan Medicine Embryo.

Now, the Dan Medicine Embryo had fled inside him.

The Star Fire naturally surged towards him as well.

"Not good," Xiao Yi was startled with dread.

After a moment, as the ubiquities Star Fire surged towards him but did not harm him in the slightest,

He breathed a sigh of relief.

He had now thoroughly controlled this kind of flame, naturally, he would not be harmed by it any longer.

It was just a momentary lapse in judgment.

The countless Star Fire within the Medicine Tower that had continued for thousands of years poured into his body.

Simultaneously tempering his flesh and transforming into pure strength, amplifying his Cultivation.

Almost visibly, the Qi Spring within him was being filled.

The two attributes of the Primordial Power, Ice and Fire, also rose continually in the Qi Spring.

...

Fourth update.
