Soul Emperor Martial God

Countless Meteor Flames cascaded down from the sky.

Before the flames even arrived, an overwhelming aura had already pressed down on the entire arena.

In the spectator stands, a group of strong warriors changed their expressions drastically.

The oppressive aura stunned even them, creating a feeling of palpable heart palpitations that seemed impossible to resist.

On the Martial Arts Arena, Bing Wuying, who had been floating high above, jumped in shock.

"This madman, just a wave of his hand invokes such astonishing power," Bing Wuying cursed at the figure of Xiao Yi below.

Then, without looking back, he soared away, not caring that the battle below was still ongoing.

The Meteor Flames about to fall from the sky had instilled in him a perilous sense of imminent death.

He could no longer concern himself with his role as a referee.

Below the Martial Arts Arena,

the seven raging attacks from Shangguan Xiyue and the others, were already suppressed and dissipated by the sheer aura of the countless Meteor Flames.

The expressions of the seven warriors changed in an instant.

"Not good," the future leader of the Heavenly Gold Main Hall exclaimed in panic.

Bing Baifu, looking up at the Meteor Flames in the sky, frowned, "Such a powerful Martial Technique."

The seven weren't fools and didn't just stand by; they hastily launched several attacks toward the sky.

Even from a distance, the oppressive aura made them uncomfortable all over.

If the flames were truly to descend, the magnitude of its power was horrifying to even imagine.

The difference between a Heavenly Rank Peak Martial Technique and a High-level Heavenly Martial Technique was only one level, but the gap was immensely vast.

Not to mention, the Heavenly Rank Peak Martial Technique was one of the strongest in the world.

It wasn't something to be taken lightly.

The furious attacks launched by the seven towards the sky, however, did not stop the Meteor Flames by even a bit.

The Meteor Flames, still with their terrifying oppressiveness, continued to fall straight down.

"Damn it, we can't block it," the seven exclaimed in horror but felt helpless, only able to grit their teeth and stop their attacks.

By then, the Meteor Heavenly Fire had already descended.

The entire Martial Arts Arena instantly turned into a massive Fire Sea.

The surrounding barriers nearly collapsed.

In the spectator stands, the Martial Artists seated close to the arena showed shock on their faces and hurriedly retreated.

Just half a year ago, Xiao Yi had used Meteor Heavenly Fire to kill the Everyday Palace Master and others.

But back then, his combat power was far weaker than now.

Now, wielding the Earth Extreme Sixth Layer power, the Meteor Heavenly Fire was leagues apart from its strength half a year ago.

In the distance, the seven who had given up resisting, a surge of light enveloped them.

Protective barriers with staggering power shielded them.

No matter how ferocious the Meteor Fire Sea was, it couldn't hurt them in the slightest.

Xiao Yi sneered, he had known all along, being successors of the main halls, how could they not have protective items on them?

The protective items bestowed by the Supreme Strong, were far beyond his current strength to shake.

"Uh?" Suddenly, Xiao Yi's expression changed.

Among the seven in the distance, indeed, barriers had appeared.

But there were only six barriers.

One person, after giving up resistance, hadn't activated a protective barrier.

That person was Shangguan Xiyue.

From within the Fire Sea, her faint voice emerged,

"As expected, a loss is a loss, even with our combined efforts, we still lost…"

The Meteor Heavenly Fire had almost swallowed her, yet she made no move.

"This woman, is she seeking death?" Xiao Yi frowned and cursed,

With a loud bang,

A burst of Meteor Flame exploded, instantly blasting her away.

At the same time, dozens of Meteor Heavenly Fires fiercely bombarded her.

Yet, she still made no move.

"Damn it," Xiao Yi's face flashed with alarm, he gritted his teeth, and his figure suddenly flashed.

In the span of a breath, Xiao Yi was already beside Shangguan Xiyue.

He caught her in midair.

Then, with a turn and a cold shout, "Disperse."

Dozens of approaching Meteor Heavenly Fires instantly dissipated.

"What are you doing, don't tell me Master Miao did not give you any protective items?" Xiao Yi frowned and looked at Shangguan Xiyue.

Shangguan Xiyue gave a faint smile and said, "Vice Hall Master Yi Xiao, Xiyue takes back what she said earlier."

"Hmm?" Xiao Yi furrowed his eyebrows.

"Heh." Shangguan Xiyue revealed a playful smile again, "Earlier, Miss Xiyue said that Mr. Yi Xiao is naturally cold-hearted."

"But now it appears, Mr. Yi Xiao, you also have a tender side."

"Furthermore." Shangguan Xiyue paused as she spoke.

Her head leaned slightly towards Xiao Yi and then she gently sniffed.

"Miss Xiyue's earlier guess seems correct; beneath Mr. Yi Xiao's mask, there must be a gentleman as pure as jade."

"Such a transcendent aura, ordinary men would not possess it."

"You..." Xiao Yi's brow furrowed as he finally realized he was holding Shangguan Xiyue in a 'princess carry.'

He hastily put her down and said indifferently, "Miss Xiyue is joking."

His cold voice fell.

Xiao Yi's figure flashed, and he returned to his original spot.

"Disperse." Xiao Yi waved both hands, and it took a full ten seconds before the surrounding Meteor Flames dissipated.

Gradually, the Martial Arts Arena returned to its original state.

Xiao Yi glanced at the sky, where Bing Wuying's figure was no longer visible.

"Hmm?" Xiao Yi looked to the other side.

Only then did he realize, Bing Wuying had already run to the spectator seats.

"Bing Wuying, you can come back to announce the results," Xiao Yi said sternly.

Although Bing Baifu and the others blocked his Heavenly Fire Meteor,

they relied on the protective items given by their Hall Masters, which was akin to an indirect admission of defeat.

Upon hearing this, Bing Wuying then realized and hurriedly leaped back to the Martial Arts Arena.

In the spectator seats, Zhong Wuyou scoffed.

"Still one of the thirty-two commanders, if he leads his soldiers into battle and encounters danger, he would definitely abandon his comrades and flee first."

"Ha ha ha ha." A burst of laughter erupted from the spectator seats.

Bing Wuying's face darkened, yet he offered no retort.

His escape just now did not escape the notice of the powerhouses in the spectator seats.

"I declare, the final victor is Flame Martial Main Hall's Yi Xiao." Bing Wuying quickly announced, seemingly unable to bear the mocking gazes from the spectator seats, and promptly left.

The outcome was decided, and the victor was clear.

Xiao Yi turned around, preparing to leave.

Just then, Shangguan Xiyue softly called out, "Mr. Yi Xiao... no, Vice Hall Master Yi Xiao."

"What?" Xiao Yi turned his head coldly and asked.

Shangguan Xiyue took graceful steps forward, slowly approaching, "Miss Xiyue... just wanted to apologize for what happened just now."

"Actually, I knew you wouldn't become my Heart Demon."

"It's just that, I've always been competitive, so I unhesitatingly teamed up with the others, my apologies."

"I know," Xiao Yi shrugged, unfazed.

"You know?" Shangguan Xiyue's beautiful eyes flashed with a hint of surprise.

"Heh." Xiao Yi smiled faintly, "Miss Xiyue's capabilities, I had already witnessed them."

"Just a few words from the successor of Heavenly Gold Main Hall and Miss Xiyue changes her decision?"

"Heh, does Miss Xiyue think me a fool, or herself the foolish one?"

"You..." Shangguan Xiyue's eyes flashed with annoyance, "Mr. Yi Xiao, your tone of speech still remains as irksome as ever."

Xiao Yi shrugged again and said no more.

Just then, the indignant gazes of six other people were cast towards him.

"Yi Xiao, you are very arrogant."

"Arrogant?" Xiao Yi smiled coldly to himself, "If I were not somewhat arrogant, those Hall Masters above your heads would probably not be satisfied."

The fact was, Xiao Yi was not someone who enjoyed ostentatiously showing off.

But since the Hall Masters required him to display enough talent and strength to satisfy them,

then he would show it.

Another reason, as he had mentioned before, he did not want to waste time.

The sooner he finished the competition, the sooner he could return to the Main Hall's Spirit Gathering Array to cultivate.

In the Spirit Gathering Array, the Spiritual Energy was dense, and the cultivation speed was extremely fast.

It was a pity, he only had one month.

No, to be precise, just over twenty days left.

And so, he did not want to waste time.

While speaking, Xiao Yi glanced at the 15 Hall Masters in the spectator seats.

At this moment, the face of the 15th Hall Master darkened.

...

Third update.
