Soul Emperor Martial God

The momentum was astonishing, as nine enormous flame puppets surged toward Xiao Yi.

Their massive bodies were no less than a small mountain.

To be able to refine puppets with the power at the Heavenly Extreme Peak, the quality of materials used must be unimaginably high.

The strength of these powerful materials endowed the puppets with immense strength, and their bodies were extraordinarily robust.

If surrounded and crushed, even an Extreme Realm expert would be instantly reduced to a mist of blood.

The flames covering their bodies further added to the primary might of these flame puppets.

With the aura of the nine flame puppets connected, each could reach the power of a half-step Limitless.

Coupled with their combined assault, even an ordinary Infinite Realm Martial Artist would have to retreat.

Wang Xinghe's gaze was ferocious and cold; in his eyes, Xiao Yi was already a dead man.

Indeed, ordinarily, Xiao Yi, only at Heavenly Extreme Third Layer, would surely die under the attack of these nine flame puppets.

He might not even last a few moves.

Yet, facing the fierce onslaught of the nine flame puppets, Xiao Yi stood unmoved.

He did not even draw the Cold Flame Sword.

"Restrict." A cold syllable escaped from Xiao Yi's lips.

In an instant, an invisible force filled the surrounding hundreds of meters.

A domineering power akin to the might of Heaven and Earth permeated within the hundreds of meters.

The nine flame puppets were instantly confined, immobilized.

"Incinerate." Xiao Yi said indifferently.

The area within hundreds of meters was instantly engulfed by towering Purple Flame.

Merely tens of seconds later, when the flaming Purple Flame subsided, the nine flame puppets had disappeared.

Not a trace of ash remained on the ground.

"Do you have any other cards?" Xiao Yi stared at Wang Xinghe coldly.

Wang Xinghe's eyes were wide open, his fingers trembling as he pointed at Xiao Yi, "How... how is this possible..."

"Just now... that was a domain."

"Three days ago, you were merely at Earth Extreme Peak. Even if you gained Senior Xinghuan's inheritance and stepped into the Heavenly Extreme Realm, there's no way you could control a domain so quickly."

"Could it be... you've broken through the top Martial Way."

"So it was you; the aura breaking through above Star Swapping City was yours."

"You've been the one breaking through these past two days..."

Wang Xinghe trembled all over as if he had seen something terrifying.

The battle intent that was originally on his face was long gone, and even his anger and madness disappeared.

He now knew that from the very beginning, he never stood a chance of winning.

From the start, his anger and madness were insignificant.

"Hahaha." Wang Xinghe laughed aloud, "I, Wang Xinghe, met such a monster; my defeat is not unjust."

"Nor is my death."

He knew his death was certain.

Xiao Yi no longer wasted words with him; several Starlight Sword Qis shot from his hand.

Wang Xinghe's mind was instantly pierced by the Sword Qi.

But a moment later, it had completely disintegrated.

A Universe Ring dropped to the ground; it was Wang Xinghe's Universe Ring.

Xiao Yi shook his head, casually picking up the Universe Ring, then prepared to leave.

As Wang Xinghe said, what he used just now was a domain.

A domain is a method that only Heavenly Extreme Realm Martial Artists can possess and control.

But not every Heavenly Extreme Realm can easily control it.

About this method of domain, Xiao Yi only gained some understanding upon reaching the Heavenly Extreme Realm.

The so-called domain requires a complete Martial Arts path as its foundation.

The complete Martial Arts path a martial artist possesses is no less than the Heaven and Earth Martial Arts.

Like the current Domineering Sword Technique.

In terms of the Domineering Sword Technique alone, Xiao Yi is no less than Heaven and Earth.

This is also why a complete Martial Arts path is the hallmark of the Heavenly Extreme Realm.

Thus, this complete Martial Arts path can span between Heaven and Earth, unrestrained by any power, and transform into a domain.

A domain can also be seen as a barrier or a prohibition barrier.

This barrier or prohibition barrier is entirely composed of Martial Arts Power.

In a certain range, one holds an absolutely controlling position.

Like just now, instantly confining the nine puppets was due to the Domineering Sword Technique suppressing the area within hundreds of meters.

However, not every Heavenly Extreme Realm can control a domain.

Because constructing a domain requires sufficiently strong Martial Arts Power, and it must be a complete Martial Arts path.

If it's an ordinary Martial Arts path, at least 9 complete Martial Arts paths are needed to construct it.

And all 9 complete Martial Arts paths require the martial artist themselves to have sufficient control power and the ability to integrate them into a domain.

That is to say, an ordinary martial artist would need to reach the Heavenly Extreme Ninth Layer Cultivation to possess a domain.

This is also why in the past, Xiao Yi had encountered many in the Heavenly Extreme Realm, like the Wind Saint Third Elder, Great Elder, and others, none of whom used a domain.

The stronger the Martial Arts, the fewer complete Martial Arts paths are needed.

But even the strongest Martial Arts cannot rely on just one path to become Martial Arts.

Even Xiao Yi's currently controlled top-tier Martial Arts, the Domineering Sword Technique, requires another addition.

The domain just now contained not only Domineering Sword Technique but also the Martial Way of Purple Crystal Spirit Flame.

This is why the nine puppets burned to nothing inside the domain earlier.

The domain formed from the complete Domineering Sword Technique and the complete Purple Crystal Spirit Flame Martial Way was what instantly annihilated the nine puppets.

The nine puppets, after all, did not possess Infinite Realm power.

Moreover, the nine puppets were dead objects without Heaven and Earth Martial Arts Power, unable to withstand the domain's power.

As for Wang Xinghe's face showing panic, it's because he realized that Xiao Yi could use a domain so quickly, having surely broken through more than two top-tier Martial Arts paths.

It's also because breaking through the Heavenly Extreme Realm requires strong and complete Martial Arts, and the stronger the Martial Arts, the longer the time needed. So he recognized that the person who had been breaking through these two days was Xiao Yi.

When one knows they are facing an existence that can only be revered.

When one knows that their supposed anger and madness are just jokes.

For Wang Xinghe, what remains is only fear.

"Hoo." At this moment, Xiao Yi exhaled gently, his face a little pale.

The method of the domain is indeed strong, and the more powerful the Martial Arts integrated, the greater the force.

However, the greater the power, the more it depletes oneself.

I have only just broken through to the Heavenly Extreme Realm; the path beyond the Heavenly Extreme Realm needs careful consideration and perhaps needs to be settled.

Of course, these thoughts can wait until leaving here.

After all, the starlight on the Martial Arts Arena is about to end.

Xiao Yi bowed again to the huge Martial Arts Stele, then his figure flashed and left this Star Illusion Space.

When he reappeared, he had silently returned to the first dazzling starlight on the Martial Arts Arena.

At this moment, the surrounding was still a rampant starlight, with dazzling light.

Xiao Yi made a slight movement with his finger, and the blinding light returned to normal.

After two hours, the three days had fully passed.

In the high sky, 36 beams of starlight vanished.

Thirty-six Heavenly Talents, bathed in starlight for 3 days, each gaining different rewards.

Each one showed a slightly unsatisfied expression.

Hmm? Something's not right.

Of the 36 Heavenly Talents, only 35 stood up from their meditation.

Only one was lying lifelessly on the Martial Arts Arena, his body cold.

"Xinghe." The Wang Family in the audience was greatly alarmed.

...

Third update.
