Soul Emperor Martial God

"""

Once the Ghost Light was completely extinguished in the invisible vortex.

Xiao Yi finally heaved a sigh of relief.

Though he had experienced many life-and-death encounters.

Still, the feeling of helplessness as he awaited death just now left him with lingering fear.

That powerlessness was truly the most terrifying thing to one's heart.

"Phew." Xiao Yi took a deep breath.

The crisis was over, no need to dwell on it for now.

He surmised that the Ghost Light was definitely more than just Spiritual Sense.

Otherwise, it couldn't have used "soul skills".

Clearly, what had just caused his mind to wander and his consciousness to blur was the strangely unpredictable "soul skills".

However, the prerequisite for using soul skills had to be a Martial Soul.

Only with a Martial Soul, could one release soul skills.

Xiao Yi wasn't entirely sure what was the deal with that wisp of Ghost Light, which was the Ice Venerate's Spiritual Sense.

But, this Spiritual Sense was undoubtedly related to the "Martial Soul".

Otherwise, the Ice Venerate would not have been able to release soul skills.

And the Taiyin and Taiyang Eyes are precisely the nemesis of the "Martial Soul".

Xiao Yi estimated that this was also why the Taiyin and Taiyang Eyes could eradicate the Ghost Light.

At the same time, this was why, after the Ghost Light was eradicated, it was completely absorbed by the invisible vortex.

From the "Ghost Light", Xiao Yi obtained quite a bit of information and memory.

Only, these bits of information and memory were incomplete or rather, quite severely fragmented.

The Ice Venerate's Spiritual Sense had existed for countless eons.

During these endless years, it must have worn down quite a bit; much of its memories had also been lost.

Apart from the Martial God, nothing, no existence, can withstand the erosion of Time Power.

Not even Spiritual Sense.

Back to the matter at hand.

Regarding why the Ice Venerate died, or his origins and such, these matters from far too long ago did not exist within the information.

On the contrary, matters from the recent few centuries were quite clear.

Xiao Yi somewhat understood this Extreme Cold Rift and some affairs within this cave.

Additionally, he obtained some Cultivation Methods and such.

Xiao Yi contemplated for a while, then shook his head.

These matters, he didn't plan to get involved with for the time being.

Right now, the most important thing was to enhance his Cultivation, to leave this place as soon as possible.

The Ice Heart Holy Fruit was the only way to save Elder Yi at present.

Xiao Yi would not allow Bing Chengtian to take it back to the Ice Martial Kingdom.

With that thought, Xiao Yi's figure flashed, heading towards the pool of water.

Within the pool, there were countless Cold Ice Marrow.

Cold Ice Marrow could only be produced in Snow Vein Lands.

And Snow Vein Lands also varied in grade.

A small Snow Vein Land could produce one pound of Cold Ice Marrow in a year.

A medium-sized Snow Vein Land could produce ten pounds.

A large Snow Vein Land could produce a hundred pounds.

Below the Everday City was a small Snow Vein Land, which could accumulate about one pound of Cold Ice Marrow in a year.

And judging by the speed of condensation and the intensity of the Cold Ice Marrow in this pool.

There must be a large Snow Vein Land underneath the pool.

Capable of producing a hundred pounds of Cold Ice Marrow every year.

Xiao Yi intently sensed the depth of the pool and his face lit up with joy.

The depth of the pool far exceeded his expectations.

He had originally thought that the Cold Ice Marrow in this pool was only about ten thousand pounds.

But now it seemed, it was at least tens of thousands of pounds.

The Cold Ice Marrow within this pool had been accumulating for definitely over ten thousand years.

There should have been even more.

But obviously, much of the force within had been drawn through the ice layer, attracted to the top.

It was also because of these forces that the area above, the Land of Wind and Snow, had sprouted almost a mountain full of rare Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

The Ice Venerate's Spiritual Sense, being an intangible thing, couldn't absorb this Cold Ice Marrow.

Instead, it was drawn upwards by him, creating that Land of Wind and Snow, and for countless years, attracted quite a few "unfortunate ones" to come.

They became his prey.

At this moment, Xiao Yi sat cross-legged next to the pool, beginning his cultivation in earnest.

He had been trapped at Earth Origin Ninth Layer for quite some time now.

He had already accumulated a large number of Cultivation Items.

He had been waiting.

"""

Now was the opportunity.

Inside his body, in his Small World, there was a surge of Cold Ice Spirit Qi.

This was the result of several months of Cultivation at the inn in Evernight City.

He had not converted it into Primordial Power to enhance his Cultivation. He was merely storing it.

At this moment, with a single thought from Xiao Yi, this Cold Ice Spirit Qi transformed entirely into surging Primordial Power.

As soon as the Primordial Power appeared, it immediately rushed toward the Qi Spring.

Inside the Qi Spring, which was already full of Primordial Power, the addition of new Primordial Power led to immediate compression.

In just a few seconds, the Primordial Power turned liquid.

Ordinary Primordial Power was the hallmark of the Earth Origin Realm.

Whereas liquid Primordial Power was the sign of the Heavenly Origin Realm.

The Qi Spring, which was full to the brim, was suddenly emptied.

Above, the "Ice Mountain Fire Sea" quickly melted away, gradually ceasing to exist.

"Heavenly Origin Realm, achieved," Xiao Yi's eyes flickered with a sharp light.

He was now at the First Layer of Cultivation in the Heavenly Origin Realm.

However, his combat power had not increased but decreased.

The Ice Mountain Fire Sea had disappeared.

His source of strength was reduced to the ten percent of liquid Primordial Power in his Qi Spring.

Xiao Yi didn't waste any time.

He rapidly absorbed various Cultivation Items.

The three Swallowing Spirit Ice Whale Kings, twenty Swallowing Spirit Ice Whales, and countless Swallowing Spirit Ice Fish within his Universe Ring.

After these Cultivation Items were absorbed to near exhaustion,

The height of Xiao Yi's Qi Spring had almost no change.

It rose less than ten percent; no, not even half of that, even less.

The Qi Spring, which was three thousand three hundred thirty-three zhang high, was truly terrifying.

Then, a surge of power suddenly flooded into his Qi Spring.

This was the power of the Ice Mountain Fire Sea.

Though the Ice Mountain Fire Sea had vanished, the contained power would not disappear into thin air.

While ninety-nine percent was absorbed by the Ice Phoenix Sword, a small portion was retained.

Yet, this small portion was sufficient to elevate Xiao Yi's Qi Spring by more than ten percent.

Meaning, right now, the height of the Qi Spring was just over twenty percent.

Xiao Yi slightly furrowed his brows and turned his gaze towards the Small World and the Swallowing Spirit Ice Whale Emperor beside the Qi Spring, which had shrunk by seventy to eighty percent.

The Swallowing Spirit Ice Whale Emperor contained a level of power far purer than that of the Swallowing Spirit Ice Whale King.

If it had been whole, the power it contained might have exceeded that of a thousand Swallowing Spirit Ice Whale Kings combined.

Of course, now only about twenty to thirty percent remained.

But it was still an astoundingly surging power.

Within the Small World, the Ice Phoenix Sword and Fire Control Beast, these two great Martial Souls, swiftly absorbed all of this power in just a short time.

Now, the Ice Mountain Fire Sea had disappeared.

The Ice Phoenix Sword would no longer absorb these powers for "repairing the rifts".

After the Swallowing Spirit Ice Whale Emperor was completely absorbed,

The height of Xiao Yi's Qi Spring increased by a full thirty percent, reaching fifty percent.

Xiao Yi's brow furrowed.

He absorbed all five hundred pounds of Cold Ice Marrow from his Universe Ring.

The height of the Qi Spring rose by ten percent, reaching sixty percent.

That meant his current Cultivation level was of the Sixth Layer of the Heavenly Origin Realm.

One more Layer and he would truly enter the late stage of the Heavenly Origin Realm.

But this remaining Layer...

Xiao Yi's brow tightly furrowed for the first time.

There was only a difference of one Layer between the Heavenly Origin Seventh Layer and the Sixth Layer, but the strength gap was vast as heaven and earth.

And this resulted from an extremely particular requirement of the late stage of the Heavenly Origin Realm.

Xiao Yi's gaze finally rested on that pool of spring water.

Both of his great Martial Souls within his body were triggered instantly.

The Cold Ice Marrow in the spring was being absorbed at a visible rate.

The height of Xiao Yi's Qi Spring was also continuously rising.

After absorbing nearly five thousand pounds of Cold Ice Marrow,

The Qi Spring reached its full capacity of ten percent, brimful.

And now, Xiao Yi's Cultivation level was of the Heavenly Origin Seventh Layer.

Indeed, the requirement for the late-stage Heavenly Origin Realm was to fill the Qi Spring,

Not merely reaching seventy percent height.

"Heavenly Origin Seventh Layer, achieved," Xiao Yi muttered to himself with a smile.

The first update.
