Soul Emperor Martial God

"Break." Xiao Yi softly commanded, as a Sword Qi struck out.

The piercing noise surrounding them instantly dissipated.

Without question, the nearly thousand Human-faced Sea Demons had used a Formation.

But the Formation wasn't very strong.

The practitioners, those Human-faced Sea Demons, were merely at the Earth Origin Sixth Layer.

Xiao Yi easily broke it with a single Sword Qi.

The battle on both sides reignited.

Ling Yu, Zhong Wuyou, and Bai Bingxue fought several hundred Demon Shadow Monsters.

The Demon Shadow Monsters were around the strength of Heavenly Origin Fifth Layer.

Although Ling Yu and his companions were of Fifth-layered Cultivation, their combat power extended far beyond that.

Three against several hundred, the outcome was unpredictable.

Meteor Sword Master and a dozen others battled nearly a thousand Human-faced Sea Demons.

Similarly, the Human-faced Sea Demons were at the strength of Earth Origin Sixth Layer.

Though Meteor Sword Master and his companions were also at the Sixth Layer Cultivation, their combat power was far above that level.

The great battle, on the surging waters of the Endless Black Sea, was on the verge of erupting.

Xiao Yi didn't make another move, simply frowning as he watched everyone's combat.

"Halberd Dao," Xiao Yi muttered to himself as he observed a black long spear thrust by a Demon Shadow Monster.

The neat charge of the group of Demon Shadow Monsters had already made Xiao Yi suspicious.

The spiritual intelligence of demon beasts was ultimately not high.

How could they launch such coordinated attacks?

And those formations deployed by the Human-faced Sea Demons, so intricate and profound, were hard for Human Martial Artists to learn.

Yet the Human-faced Sea Demons had managed to execute them seamlessly?

Xiao Yi shook his head, filled with doubts.

But considering these were powerful demons existing since Ancient Times, it was normal for them to possess numerous tricks.

Several hours later, the battle ended.

The surrounding sea surface was littered with over a thousand demon beast corpses.

The disciples of Sword Sect emerged unscathed.

After collecting the Demon Beast Cores, they pressed on.

They continued onward for 500 miles.

Along the way, every encountered demon beast was a Demon Shadow Monster.

Their strength remained unchanged, though their numbers kept increasing.

They kept fighting as they delved deeper.

The first round of the competition was to slay demon beasts.

The stronger the demon beast slain, the higher the score earned.

Naturally, they delved deeper.

Another 46 teams were also delving deeper, doing the same.

Now, Xiao Yi and his companions had left the East Sea Fortress far behind.

Their current range was between 2500 and 3000 miles.

Once they crossed this range, it would be beyond 3000 miles.

After traveling several hundred more miles, a giant beast blocked their path.

"Black Sea Giant Demon," Xiao Yi voiced on his own.

The giant beast before them was several sizes bigger than a mountain.

Dozens of massive tentacles smashed the seawater into churning black waves, causing alarms.

The Black Sea Giant Demon possessed peak combat power.

"So it is," Xiao Yi nodded, his face showing realization.

The first round of competition had a 'referee' that warned each team not to advance beyond 3000 miles.

Undoubtedly, 3000 miles was a boundary.

Within 3000 miles, the strongest demon beasts were probably these kinds of Black Sea Giant Demons, only at peak combat power.

Beyond 3000 miles, demon beasts of Extreme Realm strength must appear.

At present, their position was roughly around 2800 miles, not yet beyond 3000 miles.

"Let's battle," Xiao Yi said to himself.

Ling Yu and his two companions immediately made their move.

This level of fighting did not involve Ye Ming and the other Sword Masters.

Boom... Boom... Boom...

The tentacles of the Black Sea Giant Demon merely slapped around.

Dozens of black water giant waves surged up.

With the water control abilities of the Black Sea Giant Demon, the provoked black water must have been from not a shallow spot beneath the surface.

The toxicity of the black water grew stronger.

If hit by these giant waves, the Protective Primordial Power of Ling Yu and the others would surely dissipate instantly.

"Seal," Bai Bingxue suddenly exclaimed, a Cold Ice Sword appearing in her hand.

Where the sword pointed, the black water giant waves were instantly sealed by an extreme Cold Frost.

Ling Yu and Zhong Wuyou immediately approached the Black Sea Giant Demon.

In Ling Yu's hand, the Star Shadow Sword turned into a streak of flowing light that flashed by.

The light fell, and several tentacles of the Black Sea Giant Demon were chopped off.

Zhong Wuyou waved his large hand, and a towering tree floated on the sea surface.

Countless tendrils entwined with numerous sharp daggers densely attacked, continuously rampaging on the body of the Black Sea Giant Demon.

"Roar," the Black Sea Giant Demon let out a painful roar.

It had two means of attack.

One was controlling the giant waves of black water.

The other was the explosive giant force of its numerous tentacles beneath its massive body.

Normally, such a demon beast strong in both ranged and on-close combat would be difficult to deal with.

Unfortunately, its opponents were Ling Yu and two others.

Bai Bingxue's extreme cold frost could instantly ice seal its black water giant waves.

Ling Yu's sharp Sword Qi from the Star Shadow Sword could easily chop off its tentacles.

The two of them completely countered its methods.

On Zhong Wuyou's part, the dense attack from the countless daggers, hitting its huge body, left it with no way to avoid.

Of course, the three of them had used some secret techniques at this moment to temporarily increase their Cultivation.

Otherwise, the gap between Heavenly Origin Fifth Layer Cultivation and peak combat power was still quite significant.

"Roar...roar...roar..."

From the mouth of the Black Sea Giant Demon came piteous roarings.

"It's calling for nearby demon beasts," Ling Yu frowned, "Quickly kill it."

In the Endless Black Sea, demon beasts ravaged, easily gathering a large number of demon beasts.

At the same time, the tentacles of the Black Sea Giant Demon that had been severed by Ling Yu, astonishingly grew back instantly.

The Black Sea Giant Demon's numerous tentacles once again danced vigorously.

"Hmph," Ling Yu snorted coldly, "Monstrous beast, don't act wildly."

"Seal," Bai Bingxue shouted lowly.

In her hand, the Cold Ice Sword swung repeatedly.

Countless frost suddenly ice-sealed the Black Sea Giant Demon.

However, within the frost, the Black Sea Giant Demon struggled, showing a strong intention to break free from the ice seal.

"Star Shadow Sword Array," Ling Yu's Star Shadow Sword in his hand suddenly illusioned into thousands, forming a sword array on its own.

The sword array immediately surrounded the Black Sea Giant Demon.

"Squeeze," Ling Yu shouted lowly.

Within the sword array, thousands of Star Shadow Swords abruptly ran amok.

In just a few seconds, within the sword array, a burst of ice shards flew about.

Mixed within the ice shards was dense black blood, chilling to the extreme.

Clearly, the ice-sealed Black Sea Giant Demon had been ground into pieces.

Half a year later, the battle prowess of these three had become so strong, befitting the most outstanding young generation of disciples of the Sky-splitting Sword Sect.

Of course, the Black Sea Giant Demon was always a peak combat power demon beast.

The three of them expended a large amount of Primordial Power to kill it, their faces slightly pale at this moment.

"Sigh," Bai Bingxue gently exhaled a breath, looking at Xiao Yi, "Had it not been for you, we wouldn't dare to use such a large amount of Primordial Power in such a short time."

"Endless Black Sea, fraught with dangers, if the Primordial Power is exhausted, the consequences would be unpredictable."

Xiao Yi gave a slight smile and remained silent.

Honestly, the demon beasts in this range didn't provide much of a challenge for him.

His main purpose was still to ensure that everyone could safely complete this round of competition.

The group was about to leave, heading elsewhere to slay demon beasts.

Suddenly, a massive creature fiercely struck.

"Hm? Black Sea Ghost Python?" Xiao Yi's expression slightly changed.

The Black Sea Ghost Python was a Level 8 Early Stage demon beast, possessing strength not inferior to a Extreme Realm First Layer Martial Artist.

How could it appear in this range?

At the same time, from a distance, several more intense presences approached.

"4 Black Sea Ghost Pythons?" Xiao Yi's expression became a bit more solemn.

Including the first Black Sea Ghost Python that appeared, there were now a total of five Black Sea Ghost Pythons attacking Xiao Yi and his group.

Their hundred-meter-large bodies and massive heads, emanated bone-chilling cold.

Out of their huge mouths with sharp, massive fangs came ferociousness, containing terrifying poison.

If bitten, even a strong demon beast like the Black Sea Giant Demon would instantly transform into a pool of blood.

"Run," Ling Yu shouted.

"What are we scared of?" Zhong Wuyou yelled, "With Xiao Yi, the freak here, why should we run?"

Xiao Yi chuckled, the Blizzard Sword appearing out of thin air in his hand.

This was the first time he drew his sword since entering the Endless Black Sea.

Several streaks of cold Sword Qi shot out from the Blizzard Sword, instantly ice-sealing the four approaching Black Sea Ghost Pythons.

...

Third release.
