Soul Emperor Martial God

East Sea Barrier.

Originally intending to retreat, the Divine Martial King and three others, along with millions of human martial artists, stared wide-eyed at the giant beast being devoured by the Fire Sea in the distance.

Amidst a sea of incredulous gazes, the Devouring Sky Demon Whale Emperor was engulfed by the Fire Sea.

Countless profound marks intermingled with flames, their might overwhelming.

Its Demon Emperor body could not resist at all.

It could only be continuously bombarded and burned by the fiery light.

Roar… Roar… Roar…

Within the Fire Sea, continuous mournful and earth-shattering beast roars echoed.

"Damn human brat… stop for this Emperor… I will kill you…"

"Stop quickly… spare this Emperor's life… I will agree to anything you ask…"

The roaring was filled with anger and ferocity and gradually turned into panic, haste, and fear.

However, these roars grew increasingly weaker.

Before long, the roaring ceased completely.

The massive body of the Devouring Sky Demon Whale Emperor had turned to ashes in the Fire Sea.

The mighty Abyss Demon Emperor had thus perished.

It never imagined that it, now greatly increased in strength, would fall above the Endless Black Sea before even entering the territory of the Sixteen Flame Dragon Countries.

At the same time, up in the sky, the flames surrounding the solitary figure also completely dissipated.

The figure, powerless, fell like a lifeless cold shell.

From afar, the Divine Martial King wore a face of disbelief, "Dead? The Devouring Sky Demon Whale Emperor, this catastrophe, is just dead like this?"

The woman was also visibly shocked.

The Hall Master suddenly exclaimed, "Yi Xiao."

His aged gaze had never left Xiao Yi.

With a flash, he hurriedly soared forth.

Barely catching Xiao Yi's falling figure before it hit the sea.

"Yi Xiao, my boy," the Hall Master called out urgently.

But, he received no response.

The body he held was already ice-cold and no longer radiated any heat.

The Hall Master froze in midair.

A tear fell from his aged eyes.

The Divine Martial King and the woman instantly flew over.

"What happened?" the two asked urgently.

Dazed, the Hall Master weakly uttered a few syllables, "Life... force... severed..."

"What?" Both faces changed.

Krak Krak Krak...

The Divine Martial King clenched his fists, his face filled with anger and regret.

"East Sea Fortress under my command."

His commanding voice echoed across the entire East Sea Coast.

"Exterminate these demon beasts."

"I want these catastrophes, not a single one to escape back into the Black Sea."

"Yes." At the barrier, millions of human strongmen wore faces of indignation.

Their eyes filled with 'faith' now blazed with endless rage.

It was an endless anger towards the abyss demon beasts.

"Kill all these demon beasts," a martial artist suddenly shouted aloud.

This shout gradually became the words on everyone's lips.

"Kill all these demon beasts… kill all these demon beasts…"

Millions of human strongmen's fury filled this unified chant.

What they could do now to honor the young figure who had guarded their escape was only this.

Millions of human strongmen ferociously attacked the tens of millions of abyss demon beasts.

And the countless abyss demon beasts, previously in hot pursuit, had already lost their will to fight.

Their 'Emperor' was already dead.

Despite being fierce abyss demon beasts, they too knew fear, they too feared death.

Countless abyss demon beasts fled for their lives.

The Five Great Demon Kings fled fastest.

"Catastrophes, don't even think about escaping," various Commanders and the Main Hall Master coldly shouted.

Dozens of them chased after the Five Great Demon Kings like madmen.

The entire battlefield was one-sided.

One side consisted of Abyss Demon Beasts whose Demon Emperor had died, their combat intent and strength both plummeted to their lowest points.

The other side consisted of millions of Human Martial Artists driven mad by the death of "Yi Xiao."

The outcome of the battle was foreseeable.

Time gradually passed.

Several hours later, the battle finally drew to a close.

Under the top combat forces including the Divine Martial King, various Commanders, and the Main Hall Master.

Every time they made a move, swathes of demon beasts were annihilated instantly.

From the demon beasts' side, it was almost a passive massacre.

Of course, the number of Abyss Demon Beasts was, after all, too great.

Eventually, still, hundreds of thousands of Abyss Demon Beasts managed to escape back to the Endless Black Sea.

However, compared to the tens of millions of Abyss Demon Beasts, these hundreds of thousands of demon beasts were almost negligible.

And they could never cause any more trouble in the future.

On the side of the Human Martial Artists, the casualties were almost negligible.

With this, the once-every-century Abyss Beast Tide was completely ended.

The menace of the East Sea Abyss Demon Beasts, which had existed for countless years, was also thoroughly resolved following the complete demise of the Abyss Demon Emperor and the Ten Great Demon Kings.

The bodies of tens of millions of Abyss Demon Beasts covered the entire ten-mile plains.

From now on, there would be no more Beast Tides on the East Sea Coast!

...

Several days later.

Inside a room in the residential area of the Demon Hunting Hall within the Flame Martial Fortress.

Xiao Yi slowly woke up.

But as soon as he moved, intense pain surged throughout his body.

He couldn't help but clench his teeth.

"Uh? Kid, you're awake," a kindly voice filled with joy called out.

At the bedside was the Hall Master, who had been guarding him all this time.

"Hall Master," Xiao Yi opened his eyes, aware that his mask was still on.

"Whew, you're finally awake," the Hall Master sighed in relief, his face full of smiles.

"When I caught you earlier, your body was ice-cold and devoid of life, I thought you were dead."

"I didn't expect that just a few hours later, you'd regain your Vitality on your own."

"It's truly the protection of our Demon Hunting Hall ancestors."

The Hall Master couldn't help but sincerely utter.

"Heh," Xiao Yi gave a slight smile.

He knew it wasn't the protection of the Demon Hunting Hall ancestors.

It was the Ice Phoenix Sword that had saved him.

Time, returning to several days ago, when the four types of Martial Arts True Intent appeared, and he used the Skyfire Seal facing the Devouring Sky Demon Whale Emperor.

Indeed, his body was experiencing some mysterious backlash.

His Vitality, at that moment, was continuously fading.

He was becoming increasingly weak and even his consciousness started to blur.

But Vitality was his life force, and he was keenly aware of it.

He distinctly felt that his dispersing Vitality wasn't vanishing into thin air.

Instead, just as it was about to disappear completely, the Ice Phoenix Sword firmly caught it.

Although eventually his Vitality ran out.

But not long after, that Vitality returned to his body through the Ice Phoenix Sword.

At that moment, he was unconscious and had lost his awareness.

He wasn't clear about the specifics.

But now, upon introspection, the 'crack' in the Ice Phoenix Sword had become massive again.

The 'crack' that had almost been fully healed was now restored to its former size.

If he wasn't mistaken, the backlash of the four types of Martial Arts True Intent was taken on by the Ice Phoenix Sword.

The backlash that he would have borne was completely blocked by the Ice Phoenix Sword.

"Heh," Xiao Yi chuckled lightly.

"Ice Phoenix Sword, this must be the umpteenth time you've saved my life."

"The crack can come back if it likes, one day, I will completely restore you," Xiao Yi thought to himself.

...

Second update.
