Soul Emperor Martial God

"Sea Covering Slash," Xiao Yi called out softly.

Waves of sword sounds surged forth.

Thousands of Snow Ice Lions, all dead.

Thousands of demon beast corpses, seemingly undamaged externally, yet their insides had long since turned to mush.

If one were to look more closely, one could see an indescribable fear emerging within their deep, soulful eyes.

A towering tidal wave, reflected in their eyes.

Even though demon beasts are ferocious, they too can feel fear.

The next second, Xiao Yi waved his hand grandly.

The Demon Beast Cores and Essence Blood of thousands of Ice Lions were all drawn into his hand.

With a flash of light, they were collected into the Universe Ring.

Although Level 5 Inner Core and Essence Blood were of little use to him now, they were still a valuable fortune.

"Let's go," Xiao Yi said indifferently.

The two resumed their journey.

He did not want to waste time on these common demon beasts.

While they could not fly through the sky, they could only travel on foot.

However, fortunately, both were strong beings from the Earth Origin Realm, and their speed of travel was still extremely fast.

However, several days later,

Xiao Yi still looked the same.

While Bai Bingxue was now completely disheveled.

During these days, the two increasingly recognized the dangers of the Extreme Cold Land.

The quantity and density of demon beasts here were astonishingly high.

Even in any demon beast forest Xiao Yi had ventured into before, none had nearly as many as here.

During these days of travel, they had encountered demon beasts and fought more than a hundred times.

The most troublesome part was that all these demon beasts here were of the Ice Attribute.

Perhaps due to the environment, most had snow-white fur.

This allowed the demon beasts to effortlessly hide within the snow and wind and launch sudden sneak attacks.

Moreover, the demon beasts here were not weak; the weakest they encountered all possessed Fourth Level Peak strength.

It was easy to assume that under the cold of the Extreme Cold Land,

ordinary demon beasts simply couldn't survive. Those that could live here wouldn't be weak.

Another point, the Extreme Cold Land was truly vast.

The landscape and environment inside, far from just being snowy terrain.

Glacial rivers, snow forests blanketed in silver, and snow mountains that frequently erupted with blizzards, and so on.

Different places harbored different demon beasts, with greatly varied attack methods.

Combined with the Extreme Cold Gang Wind from high above,

All these made up this perilous land of Extreme Cold.

Even Xiao Yi had suffered a bit upon first entering.

Of course, if it were just him alone, it wouldn't really matter.

But Bai Bingxue had suffered quite a few major losses.

"Xiao Yi, have you thought of a plan?" Bai Bingxue, usually so aloof, now looked exhausted.

The experiences of just a few short days had overwhelmed her.

She also looked at Xiao Yi somewhat astonishedly.

In just a few days, Xiao Yi had exhibited alertness, sharpness, and practical experience to an almost infuriating extent.

If it weren't for Xiao Yi's care, she would surely be injured by now, not just disheveled.

She even believed that if it were only Xiao Yi by himself, even if Xiao Yi was not a powerful martial artist, but merely an ordinary person,

he would still be able to walk through this Extreme Cold Land unharmed.

At this moment, Xiao Yi nodded, saying, "I have a plan."

In reality, Bai Bingxue's cultivation was not weak.

At least, the dangers they encountered along the way could not pose a serious threat to her.

After all, she possessed Seventh Layer Cultivation of Earth Origin, and every day received martial arts instruction from a senior swordswoman, making her combat strength astonishing.

It was only because her practical experience was too lacking that she kept finding herself at a disadvantage.

And Xiao Yi, in fact, had a plan long ago.

Only because he had received quite a few kindnesses from the Sky-splitting Sword Maiden had he specially honed Bai Bingxue a bit.

At this point, the two were situated in a glacial region.

As they spoke, they failed to notice a huge dark shadow gradually approaching beneath the thick layer of ice.

Suddenly, a loud boom resounded.

The entire glacial ground shook unbearably.

Xiao Yi frowned, the next second, he exclaimed, "Not good!"

He hurriedly swept up Bai Bingxue, leaping straight up.

Almost the instant his feet left the ground.

A colossal creature burst through the ice, stirring up a hundred yards of ice chips.

"It's the Ice Whale," Bai Bingxue's face changed dramatically.

The Ice Whale, a Seventh-level Demon Beast, had an extremely massive body.

This place is practically the domain of one of the demon beasts in the Extreme Cold Land.

That gigantic mouth could swallow an ice mountain in an instant.

At that moment, the massive gaping maw was directly swooping towards Xiao Yi and his companion.

"Sky-splitting Slash," Xiao Yi released a Sword Qi.

Hiss...

The terrifying Sword Qi struck the Ice Whale, instantly splitting its body into pieces.

With a loud boom,

The lifeless body of the Ice Whale fell straight from mid-air, crashing onto the glacier and stirring up ice waves a hundred meters high.

Xiao Yi waved his hand grandly, drawing the Demon Beast Core and Essence Blood from the air.

The trick with the demon beasts here lies right here.

Their presence is entirely merged with the ice and snow landscape, undetectable by senses.

Xiao Yi could only react at the moment they revealed themselves, either evading or counterattacking.

Of course, coming across a demon beast like the Ice Whale was rare.

Their encounter was simply bad luck.

"Hmm?" Bai Bingxue then reacted.

"Xiao Yi, can you withstand these extreme cold Gang Winds now?"

The two of them were standing in the air.

Xiao Yi nodded, setting Bai Bingxue down.

The oncoming extreme cold Gang Winds couldn't touch them, being automatically blocked a few meters away from Xiao Yi.

"This is the method of controlling snow and wind passed down by Senior Wind Snow Sword Master," Xiao Yi explained.

The Wind Snow Sword Master pursued the Soft Sword Dao and Wind Snow Sword Dao.

His understanding of snow and wind was exceptionally profound, and his control over them incredibly adept.

The ability to control wind and snow left Xiao Yi in awe.

Though he had already studied his Martial Arts Knowledge before,

Studying was one thing, truly mastering and making it his own was another.

He had only ever used the past Sword Masters' Sword Dao as a reference to enhance his own level of Sword Dao.

Just a few days earlier, while traveling, he had fully mastered the Wind Snow Sword Master's techniques.

Using these wind and snow controlling methods, Xiao Yi was able to fly by controlling the air with minimal expenditure of Primordial Power.

And the speed of flight was not affected at all.

While flying, the speed of their travel significantly increased.

Ten days later, they finally arrived at Evernight City.

Evernight City was surrounded by huge walls on all sides.

From a distance, in this endless world of ice and snow, it looked like a tiny black dot.

But only upon reaching the base of the wall did they realize how massive this colossus was.

In terms of area, it was about half the size of the Royal Capital of Flame Martial Kingdom.

That is to say, it spanned the area of a hundred cities.

To build such a city of ice and snow on this barren land was quite remarkable.

In the distance, the millennium-unchanged aurora enveloped the sky above Evernight City.

The entire city was bathed in a cascade of flowing lights, incredibly beautiful.

This was Evernight City — the fortress lying across the icy world.

...

Meanwhile, in a different area of the Extreme Cold Land,

A young man with starry eyes and arched eyebrows slowly sheathed his sword after splitting an Ice Whale.

As the sword returned, starlight surged.

"I've been out training for nearly half a year, I wonder how the sect is doing, I'm still far behind Senior Brother Mo Han."

The young man shook his head, "The Ice Edge Conference is about to start, I need to hurry to Evernight City."

With that, the young man flew up, surrounded by countless flickering lights of the Star Shadow Sword, blocking the extreme cold Gang Wind in the high altitude.

Though it was strenuous, he barely managed to resist.

Elsewhere, in another area of the Extreme Cold Land,

Two bloodthirsty figures stood on countless demon beast corpses, a terrifying sight.

"Hey, Ye Ming, if it wasn't for Sword Sect Elder Shiyi's guidance back in the day, I wouldn't bother about you."

"I have trained with you for half a year, and your cultivation has improved significantly."

"It's time for you to repay me, tell me about Purple Flame's whereabouts."

Ye Ming gave a wry smile, "Wuyou Brother, you've brought me to this Extreme Cold Land for nearly half a year now."

"I've told you countless times, I really don't know Brother Yi's whereabouts."

"You..." Zhong Wuyou gritted his teeth, "Hmph, the Ice Edge Conference is about to begin."

"Such a grand event, all the Heavenly Talents from various places will gather, I don't believe that guy won't show up."

Ye Ming said, "Wuyou Brother might be disappointed, as far as I know, personnel from the Demon Hunting Hall won't be participating in this Ice Edge Conference."

Zhong Wuyou frowned, "Hmph, so Purple Flame won't go."

"Xiao Yi will be there."

"Well, I'll just have to defeat him first then."

...

Second update.
