Soul Emperor Martial God

"Hmm?"

A massive influx of Fire Attribute essence poured into Xiao Yi's body.

Xiao Yi's speed of condensing the "Fire Trace" suddenly accelerated.

Several hours later,

After the surrounding Fire Attribute items had been almost entirely drained, Xiao Yi ceased his cultivation.

The Skyfire Seal was successfully condensed.

A teal Mysterious Flame Mark was branded on the surface of his Small World.

Xiao Yi needed only a single thought to trigger it.

"Thank you, Hall Master." Xiao Yi, showing joy, stood up and bowed respectfully to the Hall Master.

Had it not been for these Fire Attribute items, his Skyfire Seal would have certainly failed to imprint.

Thousand-year-old fire essence, Seven-Colored Fire Soul... these rare items, their grade was even higher than Cold Ice Marrow.

And from the large quantity he had used just now, their value surely surpassed tens of thousands of jin of Cold Ice Marrow.

The Hall Master waved his hand, saying, "No need to thank me, I simply fulfilled my responsibility to help you."

Then, the Hall Master instructed Ji Fan and the others to clear the remaining cultivation items.

Before long, Ji Fan and the others had left.

It was only then that the Hall Master spoke again, "If I'm not mistaken, you were just cultivating the Skyfire Seal from the Skyfire Saint, weren't you?"

"Exactly." Xiao Yi nodded.

The Hall Master also nodded, stating, "The inheritance of the Skyfire Saint has not been obtained by anyone for many years."

"The Skyfire Seal has also been lost for many years."

"Within the Demon Hunting Hall, only some vague records are preserved."

"Although I am not particularly knowledgeable about this martial technique, I do know that the minimum requirement to cultivate it is to reach the Earth Extreme Realm."

"The minimum requirement, above the Earth Extreme Realm?" Xiao Yi expressed his astonishment.

"That's correct," the Hall Master replied. "Although I can't determine your current Cultivation Realm."

"My martial artist intuition tells me, you have certainly not yet reached the Earth Extreme Realm."

"Yet to enter the Extreme Realm, you've received one of the strongest inheritances."

"Of course, as I am the Hall Master of the Demon Hunting Hall, it is my duty to assist you to the best of my ability when you cultivate this inheritance."

Xiao Yi showed a look of sudden realization.

No wonder he'd felt a lack of "follow-through" in his elemental power while condensing the Skyfire Seal earlier.

The Skyfire Seal actually required the Extreme Realm Cultivation to be practiced.

The energy bursts from an Extreme Realm Martial Artist were certainly not on the same level as the Heavenly Origin Realm.

Additionally, he could now distinctly feel the "Skyfire Seal" on the surface of his Small World binding with the Martial Arts Power.

Once a martial artist cultivates to the point of having a Small World in the Mysterious Profundity Realm, it is described as Transcendent.

Before reaching the Extreme Realm, the Qi Spring stores True Qi or Primordial Power as the source of personal strength.

After reaching the Extreme Realm, the Small World absorbs the Heaven and Earth Martial Arts Power as the source of strength for Extreme Realm Experts.

The Cultivation System of Martial Arts, as preserved on the Flame Dragon Continent to this day,

is quite perfect, fitting seamlessly with Heaven and Earth Martial Arts.

Every realm, every requirement, is definitely not meaningless.

Of course, Xiao Yi had some solutions.

To cultivate the Skyfire Seal, he could completely condense his internal Primordial Power or seek sufficient Fire Attribute cultivation items.

But such actions would surely take a lot of time, a month, several months, or even longer.

However, the assistance from the Hall Master just now had spared him these hassles.

Regardless, Xiao Yi still felt grateful for the Hall Master's help and once again bowed to him.

"Alright, enough talk," waved the Hall Master, saying, "Are you ready?"

Xiao Yi nodded.

"Make your move," the Hall Master said with a faint smile.

"Be careful, Hall Master," Xiao Yi warned as soon as he finished speaking, a layer of Purple Flame enveloping his body.

Whoosh.

Xiao Yi's figure drew a purple streak.

The next second, he vanished into thin air.

The following second when he reappeared, he was already in front of the Hall Master.

Launching a heavy punch directly at the Hall Master's face.

The Hall Master smiled faintly and said, "Good lad, you don't hold back, not sparing me in the slightest."

As he spoke, the Hall Master casually parried.

Xiao Yi's full-force punch was easily caught, simply fended off by a casual block from the Hall Master.

The punch missed, and Xiao Yi flipped around to unleash a kick.

Similarly, the Hall Master just reached out to block, effortlessly stopping Xiao Yi.

With a thud.

Suddenly, a turquoise flame fiercely enveloped Xiao Yi.

It was the Star Fire.

The turquoise flame appeared alongside the purple flame without causing any abnormalities.

Instead, they fused together.

In an instant, Xiao Yi's aura greatly increased.

This was the Skyfire Saint's fire control technique and experience.

Previously, even when fusing flames, Xiao Yi only dared to focus them in his hand.

After all, the world's strongest flames were not to be underestimated.

But now, Xiao Yi managed to have flames enhance his body.

Without a doubt, with flames enhancing him, Xiao Yi's speed and strength soared.

This could already be considered a secret technique.

At this moment, Xiao Yi threw another punch.

The Hall Master accepted it and nodded, saying, "Not bad, your combat strength has just about reached the early stage of the Extreme Realm Second Layer."

Xiao Yi's face lit up with joy, and he thought to himself, "Skyfire Saint, truly a Martial Arts Great Power from the Ancient Times."

"Their fire control technique is indeed the most precious inheritance."

Of course, it must also be said that the Demon Hunting Hall has an impressive heritage, maintaining even Ancient Times inheritances.

Xiao Yi continued to strike punch after punch.

You should know, even wielding the Blizzard Sword, he only had the strength of a half-step Earth Extreme.

Even with Martial Arts Power added, he barely entered the threshold of the Extreme Realm.

But now, unarmed, merging just two types of flame to his body,

His combat strength ignored the gap of realms, directly reaching the standard of an early stage Extreme Realm Second Layer.

What if he merged four types of flames?

Xiao Yi wanted to try, but he couldn't do it at present.

The Skyfire Saint's fire control technique and experience had only just come under his control, not yet reaching the point of effortless command.

After some days, once more skilful, he would try merging four flames.

The fire control technique from Ancient Times was truly formidable.

Thump... thump... step... step...

Xiao Yi combined kicks and punches, unleashing storm-like attacks on the Hall Master continuously.

The Hall Master's expression turned from casual to solemn.

"Truly worthy of being Purple Flame Yi Xiao, what terrifying practical combat ability."

"Young man, just how many great battles have you been through at your age?"

Xiao Yi smiled and kept attacking, saying, "Of course, it's nothing compared to the Hall Master."

The Hall Master chuckled and said, "Be less modest, with just the merging of two flames, your combat strength has reached the early stage of the Extreme Realm Second Layer."

"With your terrifying combat experience, you can already be invincible at the mid-stage of the Extreme Realm Second Layer."

With a bang,

The Hall Master waved his hand and sent Xiao Yi flying with a palm strike.

"You can stop now," the Hall Master said with a smile.

Xiao Yi nodded, knowing the exceptional strength of the Hall Master, which is why he had been going all out.

However, as an Extreme Realm expert, the Hall Master's power of Heaven and Earth Martial Arts was contained within his own Small World.

Even with Xiao Yi's keen perception, he couldn't sense the Hall Master's true Cultivation Realm.

He only knew that even the aura of the Flame Martial King, compared to the Hall Master's, was as different as clouds and mud, not on the same level at all.

"Then the Skyfire Seal doesn't need to be used," the Hall Master said with a smile.

"With your current cultivation, even martial artists in the mid-stage Extreme Realm would find it difficult to block."

The Hall Master smiled and looked at Xiao Yi with increasing satisfaction.

"Ah, for the grand event in half a year, I feel very reassured with you participating."

Xiao Yi said in confusion, "Hall Master, you haven't told me what the grand event is about."

The Hall Master smiled and said, "Oh, that is..."

The Hall Master was about to explain.

But unexpectedly, the sound of fierce fighting came from outside.

"Huh?" Xiao Yi frowned, who would dare get rowdy at the Demon Hunting Hall Main Hall?

At that moment, Sub Hall Master Ji Fan hurried over.

"Hall Master," Ji Fan said with a wry smile on his face.

"What's the matter?" the Hall Master asked with a frown.

Ji Fan said with a bitter smile, "Reporting to the Hall Master, the Senior Swordswoman has arrived."

"But she is in a thunderous mood, and we didn't dare to stop her."

...

Second update.
