Soul Emperor Martial God

Xiao Yi murmured to himself, preparing to break through to the Heavenly Extreme Realm here.

However, in his current state alone, it's impossible to break through.

Now, it's just a state of mind and spirit. To break through cultivation, to build the first complete Martial Path, needs to be done in the physical body.

Xiao Yi closed his eyes.

Swish... the next second, with a flash, his spirit vanished from this subspace.

He had completely comprehended the Star Illusion Saint's inheritance, and he could control part of the prohibitions in this subspace.

Naturally, leaving this subspace was a mere gesture.

He only felt darkness before his eyes, and then when his vision cleared, his spirit had returned to his body.

On the Martial Arts Arena, under the most dazzling first starlight, Xiao Yi let out a light breath.

The spirit wandering outside was not an easy task.

For the spirit, it's an exceedingly tiring affair.

"Prohibit," Xiao Yi shouted lowly.

As expected, during the time his spirit was wandering outside, Wang Xinghe continuously used starlight to bombard his flesh without interruption.

It's evident that the Martial Path Wang Xinghe cultivated was the Star Illusion Skill of the Star Illusion Saint.

Although it's unknown how Wang Xinghe learned and cultivated this skill, his Star Illusion Skill wasn't very strong.

Xiao Yi had completely inherited the Star Illusion Saint's knowledge, and his control over these starlights far surpassed Wang Xinghe's.

With a slight mental shout, the starlight originally bombarding from above was instantly confined.

"Hmm?" Wang Xinghe behind him naturally sensed it, his eyebrows furrowed.

Outside the barrier, the audience of martial artists reacted as well.

"Huh, the starlight bombardment has stopped."

"That kid has been bombarded by starlight for hours, he must be unable to bear it anymore."

"He should have given up exploring the opportunities within the starlight, stopping the bombardment."

In fact, from start to finish, no one could clearly see Xiao Yi's current situation beneath the starlight.

From the beginning, Xiao Yi's figure had been completely 'submerged' within the snowflakes.

To the naked eye, it was completely inconspicuous.

Unless they released their perception.

However, around Xiao Yi, restrictions and formations had long been arranged, casual martial artists couldn't detect him even if they tried.

Of course, heavenly talents bathe in starlight and can't be disturbed, so no one would actively perceive.

At least until the end of the Star Swapping Day, three days later, before the starlight retreats, no one would do so.

Of course, unexpected incidents were not out of the question either.

Over at the Wang Family's spectator seats, Wang Family's Great Elder Wang Shan noticed the starlight bombardment had ceased.

He had long known the reason for the starlight's bombardment of Xiao Yi.

Now seeing the starlight stop, he naturally felt puzzled.

A probe of perception was quickly released, crossing the barrier, directly towards Xiao Yi.

However, before this perception could approach Xiao Yi, a hoarse cough sounded from the Wind Shattering Hall's spectator seats, causing the perception to dissipate instantly.

The one who coughed was none other than Senior Li He.

"Wang Family, my patience is limited, do not provoke my bottom line any further," Senior Li He said gloomily, glancing at the Wang Family Patriarch and Wang Shan.

"The heavenly talent of our Wind Shattering Hall is comprehending, and cannot be disturbed."

"If you dare to probe or disturb again, next time it won't just be a cough from me."

Wang Shan's face changed slightly, not daring to say more.

Within the barrier, inside the starlight.

Xiao Yi observed everything, smiling faintly.

With a light movement of his fingers, the next second, 36 beams of starlight suddenly burst with brilliance.

The rampant starlight caused the entire audience to light up, as if engulfed in a field of green light within a radius of a thousand meters.

"What is happening?" All the martial artists' expressions changed, looking towards the sky.

Including the Star Swapping City Lord and Senior Li He, who also looked surprised and puzzled.

The Star Swapping Day had been held many years, but for such unusual occurrences to happen as in this edition, it was the first time.

Everyone looked towards the rampaging starlight in the high sky.

Xiao Yi moved his fingers again, and a starlight vortex appeared beside him.

The next second, his figure moved and disappeared from the original spot.

In the original place, only a snowflake-wrapped shape remained.

When Xiao Yi appeared again, he had arrived in the Star Illusion Space.

As expected, the starlight on Star Swapping Day descended from the Star Illusion Space.

In other words, the Star Illusion Space had always been hidden above the Martial Arts Arena.

However, no one had been able to discover this subspace, nor could they forcibly enter.

Having obtained the Star Illusion Saint's inheritance, opening an 'entrance' within the starlight to enter the Star Illusion Space wasn't difficult for Xiao Yi.

...

Inside the Star Illusion Space.

Xiao Yi sat cross-legged, swallowing several elixirs to stabilize his injuries.

During the time his spirit wandered, Wang Xinghe had controlled starlight to bombard him for hours.

Fortunately, Wang Xinghe didn't have strong control over these starlights.

Otherwise, being bombarded for such a long time without any defense would have at least resulted in severe injuries for Xiao Yi.

Yet now, he was merely moderately injured, not severely.

After a while, Xiao Yi cleared his mind of distractions.

About to break through to the Heavenly Extreme Realm, he must maintain a clear mental state.

Breaking through a Great Realm signifies that a martial artist is about to cross a significant threshold.

The Martial Arts Dao also advances one step further.

Maintaining a steadfast spirit is one of the necessary preparations.

"Condense." After an hour, Xiao Yi was fully immersed in the breakthrough state, suddenly letting out a low shout.

In the sky and earth, surging Martial Arts power descended in an instant.

The overflowing Martial Arts power was absorbed entirely through his body, attaching to the Small World within.

Within the Small World, a certain Martial Arts power that had already reached 90% began to tremble incessantly, seemingly cheering, leaping for joy, as if celebrating its imminent completion.

Indeed, Xiao Yi had already decided which Martial Art to break through.

"Domineering Sword Dao, unite." Xiao Yi shouted wildly.

In the sky and earth, the Martial Arts rule power belonging to the Domineering Sword Technique surged forth.

Though seemingly only one step away from completion, this remaining 10% Martial Arts power surged immensely and mightily, resembling a vast Martial Arts River descending from the heavens.

Xiao Yi, bathing under this Martial Arts River, immediately felt an unparalleled sense of comfort throughout his body.

His internal organs, perception, Small World, and so on, seemed to undergo earth-shattering leaps.

The 90% Martial Arts power was continuously increasing and perfecting.

Xiao Yi smiled contentedly; he had long had all the requirements to break through to the Heavenly Extreme Realm, and breaking through was merely a matter of thought.

Xiao Yi conducted introspection; within his body, the Small World, the Domineering Sword Dao was constantly attaining completion, but the pace was not swift.

Under normal circumstances, such a vast Martial Arts River descending should cause the absorption of Martial Arts power to quickly complete the process, yet the last portion towards completeness was truly vast.

Of course, Xiao Yi had long decided which Martial Art Dao he would break through.

"Domineering Sword Dao, accomplished," Xiao Yi's voice was filled with satisfaction.

Time gradually passed.

And so, the Heavenly Extreme Realm was achieved.

Xiao Yi's face was full of joy.
