Soul Emperor Martial God

"Slow down," Emperor Yee seemed to have seen through Xiao Yi's intention and hurriedly stopped him.

"Do you have the confidence to come out unscathed?"

Xiao Yi, who had already prepared to fly out over the Heavenly Gold City Wall, paused upon hearing this, and then nodded.

Turning his head slightly, he looked towards Bai Bingxue and the others, saying, "You all may join the battle later."

"But remember, act according to your capabilities, stick to battles within the levels beneath the Extreme Realm."

"There's no need to go looking for trouble with high-level demon beasts."

"Surviving is in itself a contribution; for each demon beast you kill, the human martial artists reduce their losses by one."

Before leaving, Xiao Yi gave this particular instruction.

Then, he took to the air and flew off.

The demon beasts' attack was not as chaotic as the beast tides Xiao Yi had encountered before, where the demon beasts would just recklessly crash into battle.

Instead, there was a simple deployment of troops and formation, with clear distinction in their ranks.

Naturally, demon beasts and humans of differing strengths were drawn into separate battles and battlefields.

Clearly, these demon beasts were not fools.

The higher the level of the demon beast, the greater their spiritual intelligence.

And the greater the trouble, the harder to deal with.

Thousands of miles away, those thousands of demon beasts emitting terrifying auras were still approaching non-stop.

They were the horror demon beasts some seven thousand miles away.

Each one was huge and fierce-looking.

Some of them, even Xiao Yi couldn't name.

But without a doubt, they were strong.

In Xiao Yi's perception, the weakest of them possessed Extreme Realm Fifth Layer strength, and almost all had combat power above the Extreme Realm Sixth Layer; the stronger ones reached the Seventh Layer.

And there were even a dozen that had the power of the Extreme Realm Eighth Layer.

If they were to join the battle, the human martial artists would almost be completely crushed.

It was feared that only the Earth Extreme Ninth Layer Martial Artists and even the Supreme Strong could block them completely and with ease.

However, at the fortress, the Eight Emperors and 15 Hall Masters had nearly all dropped a level in strength.

But even if their power hadn't dropped, they couldn't spare a hand.

They had already all followed the Hall Master and the Divine Martial King to confront the Abyss Demon Emperor.

These strongest combatants were the weights that would tip the scales of victory in this great battle.

And what Xiao Yi could do now was to kill high-level demon beasts, reducing the casualties on the human martial artists' side as much as possible.

That was all he could do.

Swoosh...

A streak of light sped toward the distant battlefield.

Below, the battlefield was fiercely intense.

Almost every second, human martial artists or demon beasts were dying.

This was probably already tragic.

After a dozen seconds, Xiao Yi abruptly stopped and unleashed a sword strike.

"Ice Sky Splitting Slash."

A horrifying blizzard swept in, instantly killing dozens of Extreme Realm Fifth Layer demon beasts.

"Roar... Roar..." The ceaseless roars of beasts, mixed with furious breaths, echoed across the surface of the Endless Black Sea.

The thousands of demon beasts, with a strength above the Extreme Realm Fifth Layer, seemed extremely angry at a puny human for daring to traverse such a long battlefield and directly appear before them to kill their companions.

It was like a group of unrivaled overlords from days gone by, enraged by the provocation of an ant.

Thousands of demon beasts went into a frenzy.

Suddenly, a massive body burst forth from the sea surface.

It was a Black Sea Ice Crystal Beast.

Its huge body was comparable to a mountain.

Its body, made of Black Sea ice crystals, had skin so tough that it was not only incredibly hard but also contained deadly poison.

The most terrifying thing was that this type of demon beast hardly needed to practice cultivation; in the Black Sea, it would sleep daily and its body would automatically absorb the power of the Black Sea around it.

Thus, enhancing its Cultivation, strength, and body size.

For a long-lived demon beast, such a method was undoubtedly heaven-defying.

Looking at the size of this Black Sea Ice Crystal Beast, which was at least a thousand feet tall, it proved that its strength had reached at least the Extreme Realm Eighth Layer.

Xiao Yi did not dare to underestimate it. Holding the Blizzard Sword in his hand, he swiftly brought it in front of him.

Indeed, almost at the moment the Blizzard Sword appeared, the Black Sea Ice Crystal Beast had already slammed into him.

The beast's massive body felt like a mountain crashing down.

Xiao Yi only felt a surge of force against the Blizzard Sword, and his body was blasted hundreds of meters away.

"Hss." Xiao Yi's mouth leaked a trickle of blood, as he was already injured.

"Beast, if you have the guts, chase after me," Xiao Yi coldly shouted, and unleashed several Ice Sky Splitting Slashes in a row.

This time, Xiao Yi did not use the "Ice Sword Dao" to amplify his attack.

Using the "Great Freedom Sword Dao."

Martial Techniques above the middle-level Heavenly Rank are too profound and complex, requiring the amplification of Martial Arts Power to function effectively.

And, the more the Martial Arts Power aligns with the technique, the greater the amplification of its power.

But now, the "quantity" of the Ice Sword Dao was far too little, less than one-tenth, making the amplification limited.

To truly achieve a qualitative leap in power, one had to reach the Extreme Realm, with the Ice Sword Dao achieving more than one-tenth amplification.

Therefore, what Xiao Yi was utilizing now was the amplification of the "Great Freedom Sword Dao."

Boom… Boom… Boom…

Three streams of Sword Qi, like three indestructible dragons, struck directly towards the thousands of demon beasts.

Bang—a booming sound.

The huge body of the Black Sea Ice Crystal Beast was blasted hundreds of meters away.

The demon beasts behind it were also sent flying by its massive form.

Crack crack crack…

On the incredibly hard Black Crystal skin, cracks had unexpectedly appeared.

Wherever the dragon-like Sword Qi passed, demon beasts below the Extreme Realm Sixth Layer were instantly killed, turning into dust under the Sword Qi.

"Impressive," Xiao Yi thought with a surge of joy.

The Great Freedom Sword Dao truly lived up to its reputation as one of the strongest Sword Dao in the world.

Its Martial Arts Power and layers were both above those of the Ice Sword Dao.

The power it gave to the Ice Sky Splitting Slash was exceptionally astonishing.

At this moment, the countless ferocious demon beasts had completely fallen into a rage.

Roar… Roar… The continuous growls of beasts echoed as, led by the Black Sea Ice Crystal Beast, thousands of demon beasts charged towards Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi sneered coldly, his figure flashed, and he swiftly escaped.

He intended to lead these terrifying creatures even further behind.

He couldn't handle all these demon beasts by himself; all he could do was contain them, preventing them from joining the battle, while occasionally seizing the opportunities to kill one or two.

Xiao Yi had already consumed the Black Sea Essence and activated the Ice Pattern, and at full power, his flight speed was astonishing.

Among these demon beasts was one with the strength of the Extreme Realm Eighth Layer. Since this was above the Black Sea, its speed was even superior to Xiao Yi's.

If he continued flying like this, he would soon be caught by the group of demon beasts, or even surrounded.

"Ice Sky Splitting Slash... Ice Sky Splitting Slash..."

Xiao Yi could only keep using Martial Techniques while fleeing.

"Roar." The leading Black Sea Ice Crystal Beast and other demon beasts let out furious roars. The power of the surrounding Black Sea gathered and surged toward it, under its control.

Streams of black gas entered its body, and the originally cracked Black Crystal surface began to recover.

Xiao Yi's Sword Qi hit its body, and this time, it only managed to push them back about a hundred meters or so.

But for Xiao Yi, this was enough.

Swoosh… Swoosh… Swoosh…

Xiao Yi kept leaping forward, flinging out powerful Sword Qi.

In a short while, he led the group of demon beasts more than a hundred miles away.

The Ice Sky Splitting Slash, as a Martial Technique above the middle-level Heavenly Rank, consumed a substantial amount of Primordial Power.

Normal Half-step Earth Extreme Martial Artists, like Dugu Kuang and others, would only dare use it as a last resort, able to perform it only a few times at most.

For Xiao Yi, however, it was merely a powerful method he could use and expend freely.

In the distance, atop the Heavenly Gold City Wall, Emperor Yee's face lit up with joy.

"Good lad, he actually managed to do it," Emperor Yee excitedly clenched his fist.

"That's right, just keep dragging it out like this."

But just at that moment,

In the sky, a sound like thunder suddenly erupted.

"Black Prison Cage."

A huge cage materialized out of thin air, instantly trapping the Divine Martial King, the Palace Master, and others.

The cage was entirely black; each black pillar exuded a strange glow.

Mysterious Patterns were concentrated on the pillars.

Even from afar, one could feel the terrifying aura emanating from the massive cage.

It was a terrifying sensation as if one were trapped in hell.

"Not good, a Formation?" The Divine Martial King, the Palace Master, and the others' expressions changed drastically.

"Hahaha." The laughter of the middle-aged man clad in dark robes echoed through the sky, sinister and cold.

"Divine Martial King, Flame Martial Palace Master, did you think I spent the past few hundred years merely healing my wounds?"

"I have already deciphered much of the Ancient Demon Clan's Formations."

"The Black Prison Cage is one of the Ancient Formations. Once trapped within, you are all finished."

The malevolent presence permeated the entire sky, sending chills down the spine of anyone who felt it.

The third update.
