Soul Emperor Martial God

Xiao Yi and his group had just entered the five thousand li range.

Towering black water churned instantly, mixed with thunder and lightning that fell in a flash.

Xiao Yi was prepared early.

The Blizzard Sword appeared out of thin air in his hand.

With one swing of the sword, countless Cold Frost surged forth, transforming into a massive Ice Barrier that enveloped everyone.

The Ice Barrier emitted an extremely cold aura.

Strands of Martial Arts Power filled it.

The entire barrier was extremely hard.

Boom… boom… boom…

Inside the Ice Barrier, the people only heard dense and intense booming sounds from outside the barrier.

The sound was deafening and made one's heart tremble.

Seconds later, the Ice Barrier shook.

The four clansmen of the Snow Winged Eagle's color changed instantly.

Ye Hong exclaimed breathlessly, "Young Master Xiao Yi, can this barrier you casually deployed really withstand the Single-Horned Demon Python's attack?"

"Don't worry," Xiao Yi nodded slightly.

After a dozen seconds, the booming sound outside the barrier abruptly stopped.

Xiao Yi waved his hand largely and dispersed the barrier.

The scene that appeared before everyone made their eyes widen and hearts panic.

Centered around them, the area within several li seemed to have turned into a vacuum.

The surrounding sea water had been evaporated by dozens of meters.

Dozens of meters below, the crackling power of thunder and lightning still emitted.

After tens of seconds, the sea water from several li away finally surged back.

Ahead, a hundred meters away, a ferocious giant beast with a menacing gaze was staring intently at the group.

It was precisely the Single-Horned Demon Python.

"Gulp," the four clansmen of the Snow Winged Eagle couldn't help but swallow their saliva.

The surging back of the sea water caused the surrounding waves to roll.

The rich, poisonous aura of the black water made one's scalp tingle.

Just then, a flash of Ice Sword Qi shot past.

With a slicing sound, it was like paper being cut through.

The ferocious giant beast ahead was instantly bisected by the Sword Qi.

The Sword Qi then struck into the sea surface, instantly freezing the entire sea, including the rolling waves and the surging black water, all turning into ice sculptures.

"How strong," everyone gasped, looking at Xiao Yi in awe.

The one who had drawn the sword was naturally Xiao Yi.

The Extreme Realm Three-layered Demon Beast, Single-Horned Demon Python, had been killed by him in an instant.

Xiao Yi smiled and retracted the Blizzard Sword.

No one noticed that under his clothes, a brilliant and mystical Ice Pattern on his arm was emitting a subtle glow.

"We will stay in this range for about half a day," Xiao Yi said.

"Slay the demon beasts with your own abilities."

"Don't worry about accidents, everything is under my control."

"Alright," everyone said joyfully.

With such a strong protector, they had no inhibitions to boldly train—an opportunity they would not miss.

Around them, a large number of subordinate demon beasts emerged from the water.

Human-faced Sea Demon, Demon Shadow Monster, Black Sea Poison Scorpion, and so on.

Half a day later, after a fulfilling battle.

The sea surface was left with thousands of demon beast corpses.

Xiao Yi and his group set off again.

After reaching the 5900 li range, Xiao Yi stopped again.

"We are about to enter the 6000 li range, where the demon beasts will possess Earth Extreme Fourth Layer strength," Xiao Yi said solemnly.

"The second round of competition will last 10 days."

"We will spend the remaining time in that range, slaying demon beasts."

"Huh?" Ling Yu and others frowned.

"Xiao Yi, didn't the rules of this round say we could reach the 8000 li range?"

"Are we not moving forward?"

Xiao Yi shook his head, "I cannot take you further with me."

What Xiao Yi said was the truth; the 6000 li range would have Extreme Realm Fourth Layer demon beasts.

He could continue deeper on his own.

But with everyone, they could only reach this range.

Within this range, he was still confident in ensuring everyone's safety; further in, he was not.

"Don't worry," Xiao Yi continued, "no other team can go deeper either."

Although the rule was within 8000 li.

Xiao Yi was certain that absolutely no team could penetrate beyond 7000 li.

At most within 6500 li.

He had been beyond 7000 li and was very aware of the crises there.

Xiao Yi even believed that if he took everyone to the area beyond 7000 li.

Even with him there, they would definitely end up annihilated.

"Xiao Yi, what demon beasts are beyond 7000 li?" Bai Bingxue asked, puzzled.

"A bunch of terrifying creatures," Xiao Yi replied solemnly.

"Alright, let's start the training."

Xiao Yi did not elaborate further.

The group completely entered the 6000 li zone.

This time, there was no immediate attack by demon beasts.

"Hmm?" Xiao Yi frowned.

The surroundings were calm, without even ordinary demon beasts.

Given the density of demon beasts in the Endless Black Sea, this seemed somewhat odd.

Everyone was also puzzled.

"Xiao Yi, could it be that other teams have wiped out the demon beasts in this area?" Ling Yu asked.

"No," Xiao Yi shook his head.

"Each team set out from one of the 16 fortresses."

"We're just going deeper now."

"The vast expanse of the Endless Black Sea spans tens of thousands of li and even longer."

"Normally, it's impossible for us to even encounter each other."

"And if we do, it wouldn't be now."

In the second round of competition, teams could fight and even kill each other.

Normally, this would likely happen in the last few days.

When teams have exhausted all the demon beasts in their own maritime territories and cannot go further,

they could only move to other teams' territories to steal points.

But now, the second round had just started less than a day ago.

Xiao Yi frowned, and at that moment, a massive beast ferociously attacked from afar.

Its terrifying presence, even from a great distance, made everyone's hearts tremble.

"What a powerful presence," Ling Yu and the others frowned.

Only Xiao Yi suddenly turned pale.

"Double-horned Demon Python?" Xiao Yi exclaimed in shock.

"How can a Double-horned Demon Python appear in this range?"

Indeed, the huge creature that suddenly attacked had a body spanning a kilometer.

It looked almost identical to the Single-Horned Demon Python.

The only difference was that it had two horns on its head instead of one.

It was indeed a Double-horned Demon Python.

"Xiao Yi, with your strength, it shouldn't be a big problem to deal with this beast, right?" Ling Yu asked.

Xiao Yi shook his head and said solemnly, "The Double-horned Demon Python is a beast from the Extreme Realm Fourth Layer."

"It is an absolute ruler among them, even stronger than the Deep Sea Demon Wolf King by several degrees."

"The Double-horned Demon Python should appear in the area beyond 7000 li with those monsters."

"It's impossible for it to appear here."

"Something's not right."

Xiao Yi furrowed his brows and said, "Let's not fight, retreat back to the previous maritime zone."

With a shout, Xiao Yi wrapped everyone in Primordial Power.

In a flash, he planned to retreat.

But just then, dozens—no, hundreds of powerful presences suddenly attacked.

"Ha ha ha ha, thinking of leaving now? Too late."

A triumphant and ferocious laughter echoed through the sky.

The leader, rapidly flying over, turned out to be Bai Mohan's team.

And beside him, there were hundreds of strange Martial Artists.

"It's teams from other kingdoms, a total of 25," Ling Yu and the others gasped.

Teams from the Mystic Ice Saint Sect, the Ice Martial Sect, and the Heavenly Gold Kingdom were clearly among them.

"Xiao Yi, I told you, you won't leave the Endless Black Sea alive," Han Ming laughed coldly.

...

The first update.
