Soul Emperor Martial God

The Golden Yuan Formation and the Heavenly Flame Formation share the same origin from the inheritance of the Heavenly Flame Formation Master.

The power of the Golden Yuan Formation naturally pales in comparison to the Heavenly Flame Formation.

However, during the last use of the Heavenly Flame Formation, it was only bolstered by the power of a single Extreme Realm Fourth Layer beast.

This time, the Golden Yuan Formation was enhanced by sixteen High-Grade, Gold-Attribute Primordial Artifacts.

The sixteen golden swords, uniform in attribute and integrated with the formation, naturally possessed astonishing power.

Although this round of combat prohibited the use of external enhancements such as the Black Sea Essence,

the enhancement provided by the current Golden Yuan Formation to individuals like Dugu Kuang was already close to the effects of the Black Sea Essence.

Dugu Kuang and Feng Jueqing had their combat power directly escalated by two tiers, reaching the combat power of the Earth Extreme Realm Fifth Layer.

Tuoba Ao, Wan Zuolang, Bing Wujiang, and others also escalated by two tiers, reaching the peak of the Earth Extreme Realm Fourth Layer.

However, formations belong to the techniques of martial artists and are not considered external objects.

Thus, they were not in violation of the regulations.

At this moment, the significantly empowered Dugu Kuang and Feng Jueqing attacked Xiao Yi once more.

Xiao Yi furrowed his brows and cleaved through Feng Jueqing with a sword.

Feng Jueqing alone wasn't much concern, as after numerous enhancements, he only possessed the combat power at the initial stage of the Extreme Realm Fifth Layer.

But Dugu Kuang, after multiple enhancements, had reached the peak of the Extreme Realm Fifth Layer.

His power matched Xiao Yi's own when he activated "Ice Pattern."

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

The clash between the Blizzard Sword and Dugu Kuang's fists produced deafening roars.

The most troublesome aspect was Dugu Kuang's expertise in power-focused strikes; each punch unleashed carried tremendous residual power.

Behind Xiao Yi were the members of the Sword Sect and the group of the Snow Winged Eagle.

They could not withstand the residual force from a battle of Extreme Realm Fifth Layer.

Xiao Yi had no choice but to fight while retreating, continuously maneuvering Dugu Kuang to move sideways.

His intention was to stretch the battle far apart.

After all, they were all targeting him.

On the other side, with a loud shout from Tuoba Ao, all the Heavenly Talents made their move as well.

Lin Qing'er, Tuoba Ao, Wan Zuolang, Bing Wujiang, and Huangfu Ya attacked in unison.

Among them, Lin Qing'er had the fastest attack.

Lin Qing'er's strength wasn't much less than Dugu Kuang's and even surpassed Feng Jueqing's.

With a sweep of her hand, a terrifying blaze swiftly approached.

She was, indeed, a martial artist practicing the Fire Dao.

The fire, appearing blue in color and elusive like a dream, was unpredictable.

While fending off Dugu Kuang and Feng Jueqing, Xiao Yi could only spare a free hand to condense a burst of Sword Qi to strike.

However, the Sword Qi, aimed at the blue flame, passed through it without dispersing the fire.

"What a strange blue flame," Xiao Yi frowned.

At that moment, the blue flame continued its direct onslaught.

Xiao Yi stepped back, and the Blizzard Sword timely cleaved through it.

The cold wind and snow instantly froze the blue flame, turning it into icy fragments.

"You do have some skill," Lin Qing'er's eyes flashed with surprise.

She was well aware of the sheer power of her flames.

That earlier flame, if faced by any of the other Heavenly Talents like Wan Zuolang or Bing Wujiang, would result in severe injuries.

Yet in front of Xiao Yi, that flame was so easily shattered.

At this time, Tuoba Ao and the other four were soon approaching.

"Fours tiered Extreme Realm Fourth Layer combatants, be gone," Xiao Yi coldly shouted, swinging his sword. The four were instantly repelled.

They spat out mouthfuls of blood simultaneously, their faces deathly pale.

Even with multiple enhancements, the gap between them and Xiao Yi remained vast.

Even Xiao Yi's opponents were not a match for him.

At this moment, Dugu Kuang and Feng Jueqing were the only two left attacking Xiao Yi.

However, they couldn't do anything against him.

Instead, as time gradually passed, they were completely at a disadvantage.

It goes without saying for Feng Jueqing—if he hadn't reached the Initial Stage of Extreme Realm Fifth Layer, he would have been blasted away by Xiao Yi's sword just like Tuoba Ao and the others.

As for Dugu Kuang, although he had the combat power of the Peak of Extreme Realm Fifth Layer,

he had gone berserk, acting like a madman, with only one thought in his mind: 'battle'.

He didn't even attempt to dodge and was determined to fight Xiao Yi to the death.

Xiao Yi could easily handle him and it wouldn't be long before he found Dugu Kuang's flaw and defeated him with a single sword strike.

Of course, given Dugu Kuang's character, even if he hadn't gone berserk and was clear-headed, he would likely have fought to the death.

The green flames from Lin Qing'er attacking from a distance were also all sealed by Xiao Yi's ice.

"Xiao Yi, don't underestimate me," Lin Qing'er shouted angrily.

Her eyes suddenly changed.

A faint glimmer covered her pupils.

Her aura also soared instantly to the Peak of Extreme Realm Fifth Layer, matching Dugu Kuang.

"Martial Soul amplification?" Xiao Yi frowned.

"Xiao Yi, forcing me to use the Green Illusion Eyes, you should be proud," Lin Qing'er said with a cold smile.

The Green Illusion Eyes, one of the special Martial Souls, were at the Blue Peak Stage, very close to the Purple Martial Soul.

"Thousand Eyes Sect, I see," Xiao Yi nodded. "Those green flames just now were the Green Illusion Fire, right?"

Xiao Yi had probably heard about the Green Illusion Fire.

It was an extremely powerful flame, among the top-tier flames.

"I told you, you're underestimating me," Lin Qing'er said, noticing Xiao Yi's unfazed expression and feeling slighted.

"Angering me can be deadly."

Lin Qing'er shouted coldly, and the green pupils in her eyes suddenly flared brightly.

A violent surge of green flames shot out fiercely.

"Uh?" Feng Jueqing, who was fighting with Xiao Yi, was startled by the flames and hastily retreated.

Xiao Yi's expression changed, "Ten Realms Annihilation Fire?"

"Seal." Xiao Yi repelled Dugu Kuang with a sword strike, and a sky full of Cold Frost appeared, barely sealing off the flames.

"Hahaha," Lin Qing'er laughed coldly. "Xiao Yi, you've heard of the notoriety of the Ten Realms Annihilation Fire, haven't you?"

"This is one of the most formidable flames in the world, with astonishing power."

Xiao Yi frowned. "Your Green Illusion Eyes can't fully control the Ten Realms Annihilation Fire, so why force it?"

Lin Qing'er's eyes were dripping with several drops of fresh blood, clearly suffering from backlash.

The Green Illusion Eyes could illusion any object of green light, including the Ten Realms Annihilation Fire.

But the world's strongest flames are not so easily illusory.

"Hehe," Lin Qing'er sneered, "What, are you scared now?"

"You don't know the effects of the Ten Realms Annihilation Fire, do you?"

"I have already sent several strands of flames into the Golden Yuan Formation, where hidden Ten Realms Annihilation Fire will continually burn your life force, burn your Cultivation."

"It won't be long before your strength severely declines."

"In this chaotic battle, you stand no chance of winning."

"Of course," Lin Qing'er's beautiful eyes narrowed, saying, "If you leave the Martial Arts Arena now, or sincerely kneel and apologize to me, maybe I'll spare you."

"Otherwise, wait for your life force to be completely consumed by my Ten Realms Annihilation Fire and die."

Xiao Yi remained impassive, silent.

His Blizzard Sword continuously kept Dugu Kuang and Feng Jueqing at a disadvantage.
