Soul Emperor Martial God

Time rewound to several minutes ago.

Deep within the Extreme Cold Rift.

A figure was plummeting down at an astonishingly rapid pace.

Suddenly, a burst of firelight erupted above the figure, and a pair of flame wings appeared out of thin air.

The figure, naturally, was Xiao Yi.

"Pugh." Xiao Yi forcefully spat out a mouthful of blood, his face extremely pale.

Just now, the full strength palm strike from the Cold Ice Palace Master and Bing Chengtian had hit him squarely on his back.

These two were much stronger than the Everday Palace Master and the Snow Blade Sect Master.

The power behind a full strength strike was unimaginably intense.

As a result, Xiao Yi's falling speed was also extremely shocking.

He couldn't be certain just how many meters he had fallen.

He could only roughly estimate that it was definitely over ten thousand meters.

This rift was indeed as rumored, a devouring abyss with no visible bottom.

Even after plummeting to such depths, darkness still enveloped the space below with no end in sight.

"Pugh." Xiao Yi spat out another mouthful of blood.

After all, he only possessed Earth Origin Ninth Layer Cultivation and had taken attacks from two Extreme Realm Experts without any defense. Naturally, he couldn't bear it.

Had it not been for the protection of the Ice Armor, he would have likely suffered severe injuries and fallen unconscious, descending straight to the end of this deep rift.

Previously, the Ice Armor had not displayed such an impressive defensive ability.

After all, his enemies had not been powerful enough to pose a great threat to Xiao Yi.

But as of late, time and again, he had been encountering Extreme Realm Experts.

Only now did Xiao Yi truly feel the formidable defensive power of the armor.

But I digress.

Xiao Yi flapped his Purple Flame Fire Wings with great difficulty, struggling to fly upward.

All around him, infinite and biting Gang Winds were blowing in.

The Land of Wind and Snow above the Extreme Cold Rift was formed by the Gang Wind blowing up from within the rift.

One could imagine the appalling intensity of the Gang Wind within the rift.

During the relentless descent, Xiao Yi could clearly feel that the deeper he fell, the more terrifying the Gang Wind became.

At this depth, even the Everday Palace Master-level experts would struggle to withstand it for long.

Xiao Yi was only able to resist because of the power of the Purple Flame Fire Wings.

The Purple Crystal Spirit Flame could destroy everything, and not even the Extreme Cold Gang Wind could withstand it.

Of course, the cost was that the Purple Flame was continuously being eroded away.

Coupled with the explosive power of the "Ice Mountain Fire Sea" within his body, Xiao Yi was able to fend off these winds.

This once again proved that his decision to not rush through his breakthrough was correct.

Without the explosive power of the "Ice Mountain Fire Sea," he feared that in less than half a moment, he would be torn to pieces by these winds.

If the Gang Wind here was already so powerful,

What about deeper down?

Xiao Yi cast a deep glance at the abyss below resembling a black hole, which made one shudder.

Just how deep was this rift?

What lay hidden below?

And how perilous was it?

Xiao Yi dared not imagine, nor did he have the time to.

Although he was now struggling to ascend using the Purple Flame Fire Wings,

His Primordial Power was also being consumed at a terrifying rate.

He could not stay here any longer; he needed to make a swift escape.

Thump... thump... thump...

It had to be said that Xiao Yi's control over fire was quite astonishing.

While the Purple Flame Fire Wings were fending off the endless Gang Winds, they were also maintaining flight against the wind.

Although slow, Xiao Yi was confident that he could reach the upper edge before his Primordial Power was depleted.

But, after ascending around a hundred meters or so,

The power of the surrounding Gang Wind suddenly spiked.

"Hm?" Xiao Yi's expression changed.

The Purple Flame Fire Wings were being tossed about by the surrounding Gang Wind, showing signs of disintegrating.

The cold was so intense that, despite being illuminated by the Purple Flame, the surroundings still seemed to be icing over.

"Such strong wind, such cold Gang Wind," Xiao Yi frowned deeply.

Just as he forced himself to fly higher,

His pupils suddenly constricted.

Not far away, a faint green light appeared.

In the pitch-black surroundings, that ghostly light shone eerily green, like a ghoulish fire, chilling to the bone.

A terrifying storm vortex suddenly came into existence.

A powerful suction force latched directly onto Xiao Yi.

"Not good," Xiao Yi's face changed dramatically.

"Break for me," Xiao Yi, after all, was still Xiao Yi, his heart not too shocked.

Instead, he turned and took out the Blizzard Sword, delivering a heavy Ice Sky Splitting Slash.

Xiao Yi aimed to use a formidable attack to negate the storm's suction force and then quickly escape.

But as it turned out, the startling Sword Qi from the Ice Sky Splitting Slash couldn't affect the suction force in the slightest.

Almost in an instant, before Xiao Yi could react, his Purple Flame Fire Wings were already frozen into ice by the cold Gang Wind.

His body was helplessly being sucked straight towards that speck of Ghost Light.

Xiao Yi only felt everything go dark before his eyes.

By the time his vision returned, he found himself inside a cave.

"Hm?" Xiao Yi was startled.

The Extreme Cold Rift was flanked by sheer cliffs all around.

Unexpectedly, there was a cave within these cliff walls.

The inside of the cave was a vast expanse of white, densely covered with Cold Frost.

Outside, the harsh and terrifying Gang Wind could not penetrate inside even slightly.

The cave was not very large, only a few dozen meters in length and width.

Inside, there was nothing else or any danger, just white bones everywhere, extremely horrifying.

Crack, crack, Xiao Yi's footsteps stepped on a piece of skeleton.

The bones made only a faint sound and showed no sign of breaking.

Clearly, the owners of these corpses must have been individuals with astonishing Cultivation before their demise.

"Hm?" Xiao Yi's eyes narrowed slightly.

Not far away, a white skeleton cradled a shiny Token.

This was the ancestral Token of the Snow Winged Eagle Clan.

Before coming to the Extreme Cold Land, Xiao Yi had conducted a detailed investigation.

Hundreds of years ago, there was an Extreme Realm Expert from the Snow Winged Eagle Clan who, relying on their natural ability for Wind Control and Snow Control, decided to explore the depths of the Extreme Cold Rift.

And the result was that this expert never came back.

If he wasn't mistaken, the owner of this skeleton in front of him was that very Extreme Realm Expert from the Snow Winged Eagle Clan back then.

Xiao Yi's eyebrows furrowed tightly, his heart increasingly horrified and increasingly cautious.

The Snow Winged Eagle Clan's abilities in Weather Control and Snow Control were quite formidable.

The flying speed of most experts with Peak Combat Power was comparable to that of Extreme Realm Experts.

And the flying speed of Extreme Realm Experts was more than ten times stronger than that of ordinary Extreme Realm Martial Artists.

Such an individual had still met their end here.

Just how treacherous could this Extreme Cold Rift be, worthy of the name of the most dangerous place?

At this moment, Xiao Yi's gaze shifted.

Inside the cave, there were several other corpses that had not turned into skeletons.

Instead, they were frozen into ice by the Cold Frost.

The bodies were intact, but the life within had ceased long ago.

One must conclude that their deaths had not been too long ago.

"Wind Snow Sword Master?" Xiao Yi looked at one of the corpses, his expression changing.

Indeed, this corpse was the Wind Snow Sword Master.

There were portraits of all the previous Sword Masters in the Sword Sect, and Xiao Yi naturally recognized him at a glance.

By this time, the Wind Snow Sword Master was already dead.

The several corpses around him had looks of horror on their faces, their arms were pointing straight to the back as if they had seen some terrifying entity.

Only the Wind Snow Sword Master, under a stern face, showed pride and arrogance without a bit of fear.

The Strongest Sword Master throughout the history of the Sky-splitting Sword Sect was indeed quite extraordinary.

"Hm?" Xiao Yi frowned, aside from the Wind Snow Sword Master, the other corpses had very odd postures.

Following the direction they pointed, Xiao Yi turned his head slightly.

As he turned his head, his hair stood on end and his scalp tingled.

It was that ghastly green glow.

Xiao Yi had thought it was just his imagination before.

Now it seemed that it was far from mistake.

That Ghost Light was a human face, smiling sinisterly.

Xiao Yi reacted extremely fast, thrusting his sword backward, aiming straight for the Ghost Light.

If he was not mistaken, this cave's scattered white bones and the Ghost Light had to be connected.

However, Xiao Yi's full-force stab pierced through the Ghost Light.

But the human face was not damaged in the slightest.

"Heh heh," the Ghost Light let out a cold laugh, "Kid, to be so young and yet so bold, impressive."

"Who are you?" Xiao Yi held back his shock and asked with a cold voice.

"Hahaha," the Ghost Light laughed out loud, "After thousands of years, I, the Ice Venerable, have become unrecognizable, it seems?"

...

The second update.
