Soul Emperor Martial God

"Skyfire Meteor," Xiao Yi shouted softly.

The sky filled with meteor flames, descending in an instant.

Under Xiao Yi's perfect control, thousands of meteors precisely surrounded the Five Great Demon Kings.

"Emperor Yee, Emperor Huang, all Main Hall Masters, lead your people out immediately,"

"before you completely leave East Sea Fortress, no one can stop you," Xiao Yi swiftly added.

Thousands of meteor flames, coupled with Xiao Yi's own four-colored flames, forcibly repelled the Five Great Demon Kings.

Extreme Realm Ninth Layer battle power was used to deploy a Heavenly Rank Peak Martial Technique—not enough to defeat the Five Great Demon Kings but restraining them was no difficult task.

Time was pressing now.

The Demon Kings at their level could no longer be allowed to obstruct the millions of strong human warriors in the fortress.

The self-destruction of the Golden Emperor and others just now was meant to drag these Demon Kings down with them.

Without the obstruction of these Demon Kings, Emperor Yee and the others could easily handle the tens of millions of demon beasts, leading the fortress's human warriors to an effortless evacuation.

"Purple Flame Yi Xiao, you..." Emperor Yee and others had complications in their expressions.

Emperor Huang spoke solemnly, "Let's not waste time. Let's evacuate everyone first."

"We can come back later to help him."

"With Purple Flame's strength, holding on for a while is not difficult."

"Alright," Emperor Yee nodded heavily.

A group of commanders began to rapidly lead the fortress warriors to evacuate.

One figure after another ascended into the sky, quickly flying away.

On the other side, Xiao Yi forcibly repelled the Five Great Demon Kings.

"Skyfire Seal," Xiao Yi shouted softly, striking out with a fire seal in his hand.

A fiery light soared into the sky, suddenly erupting.

A wave of flame charged straight at the Five Great Demon Kings.

With a loud bang,

the Five Great Demon Kings were instantly blasted thousands of meters away.

From afar, Emperor Yee and others' eyes filled with surprise, "Incredible, what Martial Technique is that?"

"Skyfire Seal… Skyfire Seal…" Xiao Yi shouted several times.

He continuously struck out several fire seals from his hand.

The Five Great Demon Kings were repeatedly blasted back.

The Skyfire Seal was an existence that surpassed Heavenly Rank Peak Martial Techniques.

Employing it with Xiao Yi's current Earth Extreme Ninth Layer strength, its formidable power was self-evident.

Xiao Yi continuously unleashed the Skyfire Seal, driving the Five Great Demon Kings far back behind the barrier set up by the Divine Martial King and the others, before he finally stopped.

"Break," Xiao Yi launched another fire seal, bombing towards the huge spike.

The Divine Martial King and others had already blocked this huge spike.

The situation was stagnated.

With Xiao Yi's attack joining in, the balance was utterly shattered, sending the huge spike flying back.

"Kid, why aren't you leaving? Why come back?" The Hall Master saw the huge spike being blasted away and showed no joy.

Instead, seeing Xiao Yi return, he was both anxious and angry.

"Purple Flame, go now," the Divine Martial King shouted.

In the distance, Emperor Yee and others, having just repelled tens of millions of demon beasts, intended to come over and help.

Numerous fortress warriors had already ascended and flown dozens of miles away; it wouldn't be long before they could all leave.

Here, Xiao Yi nodded.

"Alright, kid, leave now," Xiao Yi said with a light smile.

But, no sooner had his words fallen than a surge of Primordial Power gathered in his hand.

He continuously struck out several palms, heavily hitting the Divine Martial King and the others.

"What are you doing?" The Divine Martial King and his companions, caught off guard, were blasted away hundreds of meters.

"I'll hold them off, you go," Xiao Yi replied sternly, then turned around and coldly stared at the Devouring Sky Demon Whale Emperor.

"Foolishness," the Divine Martial King scolded.

"You and the Sword Sect's Genius are the last hope for the Sixteen Flame Dragon Countries."

"Without you, even if millions of fortress warriors evacuate, what then?"

"They will eventually need your leadership."

"Only if you two grow up, can you forever end this calamity of the East Sea."

Saying this, the three figures moved, about to return.

They had already prepared to die in the East Sea.

They let Emperor Yee lead the fortress warriors away, serving as the last battle force to protect the trillions of lives in the Sixteen Flame Dragon Countries.

But relying on these forces alone, they couldn't possibly contend with the Abyss Demon Emperor.

They placed their hopes on the twins.

They would rather die themselves than see the twins harmed in the slightest.

"No, don't come back," Xiao Yi shouted loudly.

"Damnation," the Hall Master coldly scolded, "You foolish boy, are you not listening to me now? Do I not matter to you anymore?"

"If anything happens to you, the Sixteen Flame Dragon Countries are finished."

Xiao Yi turned slightly, urgently saying, "If you old ones die, Flame Dragon Continent truly has no hope left."

"The three of you are the only ones who can actually confront the Demon Emperor."

"If you die, what significance does the evacuation of millions of human warriors now hold?"

"How can they contend against the Abyss Demon Emperor and the Abyss army?"

As Xiao Yi's words fell,

the Devouring Sky Demon Whale Emperor had already burst forth with a thunderous beast roar.

"You won't escape, any of you."

Underneath the chilling voice, dozens of huge waves swept in.

Several huge spikes fiercely bombarded.

"Skyfire Seal," Xiao Yi shouted softly.

Previously, when repelling the Five Great Demon Kings, he had simply executed the seal, striking with the martial technique in his hand.

This time, the Skyfire Seal was truly deployed.

The Skyfire Seal contained numerous intricate and mysterious fire seals.

Countless Fire Seals had already condensed into a "Skyfire Seal," permanently branded within the Small World.

With a single thought from Xiao Yi, the branding within the Small World immediately activated.

A surging force of flames enveloped Xiao Yi in an instant.

Moreover, this surging flame force filled the area around him within a hundred meters.

At that moment, Xiao Yi felt his body brimming with power.

The reason why the Skyfire Seal is defined as a "Domain Martial Skill",

is because the current fire-light-filled 'hundred-meter range' constitutes a form of domain.

However, it's different from the Forbidden Element Domain, as it doesn't have a prohibiting effect.

It simply transforms the surrounding hundred-meter area into a flame world thoroughly controlled by Xiao Yi.

Black water torrents and giant spikes attacked simultaneously.

With a boom, they were blocked by the flame domain.

From a distance, it appeared like a hundred-meter barrier of firelight, barring these assaults.

Within the firelight, Xiao Yi violently spat out a mouthful of bloody spittle.

Those giant spikes, even the Divine Martial King and two others had to join forces to barely block them.

How could he possibly withstand it alone?

He was already gravely injured, but, so long as the primordial power inside his body didn't run out, the Skyfire Seal's barrier of firelight would continuously block these attacks.

Allowing everyone behind him to safely retreat.

"Purple Flame," the three, including the Divine Martial King, exclaimed in shock, preparing to come assist.

"There's not much time," Xiao Yi bellowed, "If you don't want my death to be in vain, leave now."

Indeed, there wasn't much time left.

The Devouring Sky Demon Whale Emperor's massive body, its head and torso, had almost fully unleashed the aura of the Heavenly Extreme Realm.

Now, only a small part of the tail still lacked the aura of the Heavenly Extreme Realm.

This signified that there wasn't much time left until the Devouring Sky Demon Whale Emperor fully stabilized its power.

"Let's go," the Hall Master gritted his teeth and sighed.

Purple Flame Yi Xiao was his successor, and he valued Yi Xiao more than anyone.

However, given the current circumstances, he couldn't afford to be swayed by his personal feelings.

The greater good and the billion lives of the Sixteen Flame Dragon Countries took precedence.

The Divine Martial King nodded, "Let's go, we still have Xiao Yi, and we still have hope."

"Damn, I almost forgot about that kid Xiao Yi," the woman's expression changed.

"Don't panic," the Divine Martial King said solemnly, "That kid previously risked his life to grievously injure the Demon Emperor but also suffered a near-fatal injury."

"There's no way he'd recover so quickly in just four hours."

"He must have been healing inside the fortress, and maybe he has already evacuated with the other fortress warriors."

"Whew," the woman sighed in relief, "Alright, let's leave too."

"Sigh." The Hall Master sighed, seeming to age hundreds of years in an instant.

The three turned and flew away.

They were the only ones who could confront the Demon Emperor in the future.

Just wait till half a day later when the intense poison within their bodies dissolved, and their strength recovered; even if they couldn't necessarily kill the Demon Emperor, they could at least stop his devastating march across the continent.

In the distance, Xiao Yi desperately resisted.

"You lowly humans, don't think about escaping," an icy voice filled with rage resounded.

Wave after wave of black torrents and giant spikes furiously struck, but were all blocked by Xiao Yi's Skyfire Seal.

Every second, Xiao Yi spat out mouthfuls of fresh blood.

He knew he couldn't hold on for much longer.

But, before he died, he had bought enough time for everyone to escape.

The Skyfire Seal was extremely draining on primordial power.

However, now as a cultivator of the Extreme Realm Second Layer, using it had become somewhat easier.

His much-strengthened Small World inside his body also allowed him to absorb Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy and replenish primordial power faster.

Also, with the amplification of the Top-grade Elemental Artifact, Furious Flame Ring, he managed to maintain this barrier of firelight around the Skyfire Seal briefly.

"Pu... Pu…" Xiao Yi continued to cough out bloody spittle.

His internal organs were already severely damaged.

His cold eyes glanced briefly at the departing Divine Martial King and the others.

"Heh." Xiao Yi chuckled, quite content.

He was relieved that he was still wearing a mask.

Otherwise, if they knew that the twins were actually the same person,

they probably wouldn't have agreed to leave at all.

Xiao Yi was never a noble, selfless person.

He just knew he had no other choice.

If the Divine Martial King and the others died, Xiao Yi's high talents would be useless.

How long might it take for him to grow into a Martial Artist capable of contending with the Abyss Demon Emperor?

In that time, the Abyss Demon Beasts would ravage the entire continent.

Beyond the East Sea Fortress, there were many other people he cared deeply about,

like the elders of the Xiao Family, or the elders of the Northern Mountain County Sky-splitting Sword Sect.

These smaller forces would likely be instantly annihilated under the onslaught of the Abyss Demon Beasts.

As long as the Divine Martial King and the others recovered their strength, they could surely halt the unstoppable advance of the Abyss Demon Beasts.

Even without Xiao Yi, stronger Heaven's Talents and more formidable fighters would eventually emerge among the Sixteen Flame Dragon Countries.

"Pu… Pu…" Xiao Yi couldn't remember how much blood he had spat out.

He only knew his current injuries were as severe as they could get.

He was merely holding on through sheer willpower.

His gaze finally rested on the woman.

He had promised her that everyone from the Sword Sect would return without a single loss.

Now, only he, Xiao Yi, remained.

In his view, he had still somewhat fulfilled his promise.

"Heh, we promised to return together, and I've never let you down before. This time, let me disappoint you just this once."

...

The third update.
