Soul Emperor Martial God

The marrow of cold ice is extremely precious.

Yet, in reality, its greatest use lies in aiding martial artists to break through significant boundaries.

Especially for those who cultivate the Cold Ice Dao.

Within just a drop of milky liquid contain astonishing ice powers.

Such a terrifying explosion of power dramatically decreases the difficulty for a martial artist to break through the next great boundary.

Moreover, it possesses various miraculous effects such as concentrating the mind, stabilizing the spirit, and healing and strengthening the body.

These are the reasons for its incomparable value.

For someone like Xiao Yi, who only absorbs power to fill his Qi Spring in order to break through minor boundaries, it seems rather luxurious and wasteful.

In other words,

If Xiao Yi were to exchange an equivalent amount of cold ice marrow for pure elixirs of the same value, the effect would be much greater.

However, Xiao Yi currently lacks the time, nor does he have any interest in wasting it.

But let's get back to the point.

Xiao Yi performed introspection on his Qi Spring.

At this moment, the Qi Spring within is full of liquid primordial power.

And it is already overflowing in large amounts.

The golden perfect power, with both searing heat and icy coldness, circulates endlessly in the Small World outside of the Qi Spring.

The extremely cold and extremely hot liquid primordial powers are distinctly separated, each occupying half of the space, resplendently splendid.

Indeed, the primordial power has already spilled out of the Qi Spring.

Previous cultivations at various levels were about filling the Qi Spring.

But upon reaching the Heavenly Origin Zone, after the Seventh Layer, cultivation began to change.

Cultivation turned into filling the Small World.

This change is a preparation for the next level, the Extreme Realm.

As the first realm beneath the Martial God, the Extreme Realm is exceedingly difficult to reach.

For countless years, numerous heavenly talents have hesitated before this step.

This step has thwarted and blocked numerous heavenly prodigies.

Once a martial artist steps over it, it is a transformation as vast as the difference between heaven and earth, like a fish leaping over the dragon gate, ascending rapidly.

But let's get back to the point.

In the later stages of the Heavenly Origin Realm, the primordial power overflows the Qi Spring, flowing within the Small World.

This primordial power will support the entire Small World, strengthening its resilience.

After stepping into the Mysterious Profundity Realm, martial artists acquire their 'Small World' which houses the 'Qi Spring,' and from then on, transcend the mundane to enter the Dao, endowed with numerous techniques.

The Qi Spring is where True Qi and primordial power are stored.

The Small World, on the other hand, resonates with the real world, allowing martial artists to employ various techniques.

Sky-controlling flight, spiritual energy restrictions, barriers with different uses, and so on.

The stronger the Small World, the more intense the resonance with the real world, and the more powerful the techniques.

As martial artists continue to break through realms, the Qi Spring undergoes no changes, but the Small World constantly expands and strengthens.

This also results in the continual enhancement of the martial artist's techniques.

This is the difference in strength brought about by the gap in realm.

In the late stages of the Heavenly Origin Realm, primordial power fills the Small World.

This greatly escalates the intensity of the Small World.

Consequently, the resonance with the real world becomes extraordinarily strong.

This endows martial artists with new techniques.

Comprehension and even absorption of martial arts power between heaven and earth.

Heaven and Earth Martial Arts are boundless, encompassing Sword Dao, Sword Dao, Cold Ice Dao, Fire Dao, and more.

These various martial arts pervade the entire world.

This is the power of the rules of this world.

Everything exists because of this.

A martial artist's life is a pursuit of these martial arts.

Sword momentum is actually one of the martial arts techniques.

Through one's own martial arts, resonating with the martial arts of heaven and earth, one can temporarily borrow the power of Heaven and Earth Martial Arts to oppress the enemy.

But in the late stages of the Heavenly Origin Realm, it will no longer be just borrowing.

Instead, they truly draw this power into their own Small World and utilize it for themselves.

However, martial arts power is ethereal and insubstantial.

This is why the Small World's strength needs to be increased in the late stages of the Heavenly Origin Realm.

Only by resonating strongly enough with the real world can a martial artist absorb these intangible and ethereal martial arts powers.

There have been rumors that the Small World of a Martial God is as vast as the real world.

As a result, Martial Gods command the world and reign supreme over heaven and earth.

Everything a Martial God can do within their Small World can also be done in the real world.

Controlling Yin Yang, shattering reincarnation, there is nothing they cannot do.

There is also a rumor that this world itself is the Martial God's Small World.

Of course, whether these rumors are true or false is uncertain.

Yet they do illustrate the importance of the Small World.

Xiao Yi has now stopped his cultivation.

He can already sense countless martial arts rule powers from between heaven and earth.

Those once ethereal martial arts powers now seem to be within grasp.

Yet, sensing them is one thing.

To truly absorb it into the Small World was still extremely difficult.

It depended on the Martial Artist's own control power over these Martial Arts.

The deeper the Martial Artist's understanding of the Martial Arts, the higher the control power, the more distinct the perception, and the easier it was to absorb.

Conversely, if the Martial Artist had only a superficial understanding of a certain Martial Arts, the perception would be incredibly vague, let alone absorption.

Currently, the forces Xiao Yi perceived the most distinctly were, naturally, the Domineering Sword Technique and the Ice Sword Dao.

"Absorb." Xiao Yi uttered in a low shout.

These two Martial Arts powers from heaven and earth surged over like a tsunami.

The Martial Arts Power entered the Small World and became the power controlled by the Small World.

This Martial Arts Power that was absorbed had truly become his own power.

Initially, it was just a sword momentum created by borrowing the Martial Arts Power, and its might was already extraordinary.

If it was truly controlled and exhibited by himself, how strong would it be?

An hour later, Xiao Yi stopped the absorption.

There were limitations to the absorption of Martial Arts Power.

It depended on the Martial Artist's own Cultivation Realm and the Martial Arts control power.

"Ice Sky Splitting Slash." Xiao Yi let out a low shout.

On the Blizzard Sword, a mini 'blizzard' suddenly erupted.

This time, aside from consuming a massive amount of Primordial Power, it also merged with the Domineering Sword Technique's Martial Arts Power.

With a thunderous boom,

a terrifying Sword Qi blasted out of the cave.

The piercing Gang Wind that blew continuously outside was instantly cleaved apart.

Even Martial Artists of the same caliber as the Everday Palace Master couldn't endure this piercing Gang Wind for long.

Yet under this sword strike, it did not stand a chance.

"Powerful." Xiao Yi narrowed his eyes.

This was the might of the Martial Arts Power.

Or more precisely, it was the Martial Arts prowess of the Domineering Sword Technique.

Xiao Yi collected his thoughts.

Late-stage Heavenly Origin Cultivation was about filling the Small World and absorbing Martial Arts Power.

Once the Small World was completely filled by Primordial Power,

and one type of Martial Arts Power's absorption degree reached ten percent,

then the Martial Artist would be able to step into the Extreme Realm.

That so-called ten percent of Martial Arts Power referred to a complete ten percent of that particular type of Martial Arts.

For instance, the Domineering Sword Technique.

In the whole world, there were countless Martial Arts, such as Sword Dao, Sword Dao, Stick Skill, Cold Ice Dao, Beast Dao, and so on.

Sword Dao was just one among these countless Martial Arts.

And Sword Dao could be divided into countless varieties like the Great Freedom Sword Dao, Domineering Sword Technique, Fierce Sword Dao, Soft Sword Dao, and so on.

Of course, there were differences in strength among the various Martial Arts.

What Xiao Yi needed to do was to absorb a complete ten percent of the Martial Arts Power contained in the Domineering Sword Technique from the forces of heaven and earth.

Then, he could break through to the Extreme Realm.

The Martial Arts Power that Xiao Yi had absorbed into his Small World now was probably around half of ten percent, not yet sufficient.

But that wasn't a problem for him.

With Xiao Yi bearing the Sword Dao Inheritance from the Sky-splitting Sword Demon, such comprehension and absorption were a piece of cake for him.

It should be mentioned, by the way,

though Xiao Yi had obtained the Domineering Sword Technique from the Sword Dao Inheritance of the Sky-splitting Sword Demon and had comprehended over a hundred percent,

that hundred percent referred to all of the Sword Dao Knowledge of the Sky-splitting Sword Demon.

However, the Sky-splitting Sword Demon did not represent the complete Domineering Sword Technique.

He too had been continuously training and pursuing the Domineering Sword Technique, though he had already reached a very profound level.

Xiao Yi also wasn't certain just how much of the complete Domineering Sword Technique the senior Sky-splitting Sword Demon had comprehended.

But undoubtedly, this Martial Arts Knowledge would allow him to proceed smoothly with absorbing Martial Arts Power before reaching Earth Extreme Peak.

However, filling up the Small World was a different matter.

The Small World was twice the size of the Qi Spring.

Furthermore, after the Xuan Realm, as one advanced through Cultivation, the Qi Spring's size remained unchanged, but the Small World kept expanding with the Cultivation Realm.

For Xiao Yi to fill the Small World completely, the required power was unimaginable.

The Extreme Realm was an obstacle for almost all Supreme Geniuses.

Yet, what truly stumped them was the absorption of Heaven and Earth Martial Arts Power,

their understanding of the Martial Arts they practiced, and their control over it.

Conversely, filling the Small World was a mere trifle for them.

Many major forces possessed the Extreme Boundary Stele.

These Extreme Boundary Steles could let the younger Heavenly Talents easily comprehend and acquire the Martial Arts Knowledge of the Extreme Realm.

However, comprehension was one thing.

Actually transforming this Martial Arts Knowledge into their own, subject to their control, and reaching the level where they could absorb the Heaven and Earth Martial Arts Power was extremely difficult.

This posed high demands on the Martial Artist's aptitude, comprehension ability, talent, and so on.

Xiao Yi, on the other hand, was the exact opposite.

With the enormous Qi Spring resulting in a massive Small World, filling it had become his greatest obstacle.
