Soul Emperor Martial God

The rewards for securing first place on Star Swapping Day are indeed generous.

The vast array of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures and Cultivation Items are incredibly valuable.

However, thanks to Xiao Yi's prowess and speed in refining, he managed to complete everything in just a little over an hour.

A pile of perfect, Pure Elixir lay before him.

Xiao Yi absorbed them one by one.

However, his Cultivation did not break through.

The height of his Qi Spring only reached about three and a half percent, not achieving four percent.

After the Heavenly Extreme Realm, the Primordial Power within one's body is far purer than before.

This pure Primordial Power is one of the sources of strength for Heavenly Extreme Realm Martial Artists.

The greatest source of strength, however, is Martial Arts Power.

During the Earth Extreme Realm, the Martial Arts Power is not complete and can only be borrowed for effects.

Once reaching the Heavenly Extreme Realm, the complete Martial Arts Power comes entirely under one's control, able to create astonishing power.

Martial Arts Power combines to form a domain.

The domain is the strongest skill of Heavenly Extreme Realm Martial Artists.

Currently, my cultivation is at the Heavenly Extreme Third Layer; to advance to the next, Heavenly Extreme Fourth Layer, requires mastering another complete martial art.

Xiao Yi has already decided which one to break through—exactly the martial art of the Earth Vein Golden Fire.

The Heaven and Earth Martial Arts are the laws' power of this world.

Every living thing has its own martial arts path.

Thus, there are countless martial arts.

Earth Vein Golden Fire is the most violent and fierce; its martial art follows the same nature.

Once this martial art is mastered, coupled with its compatibility with the martial art of the Purple Crystal Spirit Flame, my strength will reach a qualitative leap.

Coincidentally, the Heavenly Extreme Fourth Layer is the level for entering the Mid Heavenly Extreme stage, yielding a significant strength difference compared to the Heavenly Extreme Third Layer.

If I break through to the Heavenly Extreme Fourth Layer, as long as I don't encounter some Old Monsters, I can freely traverse the Central Region.

There is some anticipation in Xiao Yi's eyes.

However, due to insufficient Cultivation Items presently, it has to be temporarily set aside.

For my future Martial Arts Dao, Xiao Yi already has plans.

Now, with the cultivation temporarily stopped, the next focus is on physical cultivation.

The Universe Ring in Xiao Yi's hand flashed, releasing numerous jade bottles.

Within each jade bottle is Demon Beast Essence Blood, at least at the Level 8 Peak.

A bottle of Demon Beast Essence Blood was swallowed by Xiao Yi, then absorbed; the amount of Asura Power with a destructive aura keeps increasing inside his body.

After reaching the Seventh Layer of the Asura Battle Body, with every hundred drops of Asura Power added, physical strength increases by one layer.

Once all the Demon Beast Essence Blood was consumed.

A surge of aura erupted from Xiao Yi's body.

This is the sign of a breakthrough.

Physical strength has officially reached the Heavenly Extreme Fourth Layer, with 400 fierce drops of Asura Power within.

In the rewards for first place on Star Swapping Day, the quantity of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures and Demon Beast Essence Blood is roughly the same.

Yet these Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures didn't allow Xiao Yi to breakthrough cultivation.

While the Demon Beast Essence Blood did enable him to breakthrough in physical strength.

A long time ago, the difficulty of Martial Arts cultivation had already surpassed that of the Asura Battle Body.

The Asura Battle Body is indeed a phenomenal Body Refining Technique, requiring a staggering amount of Demon Beast Essence Blood.

But Xiao Yi's Small World is equally immense.

While the Qi Spring remains the same, the Small World keeps growing with increased cultivation.

The cultivation items needed for Martial Arts far surpass the Demon Beast Essence Blood required by the Asura Battle Body.

Actually, Xiao Yi's physical strength had already reached the Heavenly Extreme Third Layer months ago.

That was enhanced by cultivating the Thunder Gang Battle Body.

But once the Asura Battle Body was cultivated, it also reached the Heavenly Extreme Third layer level.

Since the Asura Battle Body is stronger than the Thunder Gang Battle Body, it took the lead.

To simply put it, even if Xiao Yi cultivates both Body Refining Techniques, physical strength remains at the Heavenly Extreme Third Layer, but the Thunder Gang Battle Body provides additional amplification.

This is somewhat like the time Xiao Yi practiced near the mountains of Eastern Domain Purple Cloud City, using Heavenly Thunder to temper the flesh, enhancing physical strength.

Of course, now Xiao Yi's physical strength has reached the Heavenly Extreme Fourth Layer.

Under the current training of the Asura Battle Body, when the internal Asura Power reaches a thousand drops, that's when the physical strength steps into the Saint Realm.

"Still short 600 drops." Xiao Yi murmured.

He is well aware that the Demon Beast Essence Blood needed for these 600 drops of Asura Power is a staggering quantity, and he cannot rush it for now.

Now, with Martial Arts cultivation halted, physical cultivation must also temporarily stop.

So, next is...

"Time to leave." Xiao Yi stood up.

A long time ago, he planned to breakthrough into the Heavenly Extreme Realm before leaving Star Swapping City.

Now the Heavenly Extreme Realm has been reached, and he leaped three layers, reaching Heavenly Extreme Third Layer cultivation, along with gaining the inheritance of the Star Illusion Saint.

Physical strength also reached the Heavenly Extreme Fourth Layer.

There will be much more assurance in traveling through the Central Region after.

Leaving the seclusion room, Xiao Yi headed towards the back hall of Wind Shattering Hall.

"This time leaving seclusion so quickly?" Senior Li He looked at Xiao Yi, asking with slight surprise.

"Yes." Xiao Yi nodded, saying, "Just a normal seclusion, so it did not take too much time."

"Oh?" Senior Li He chuckled, "You just broke into the Heavenly Extreme Realm; in Martial Arts cultivation, do you have any doubts?"

"Although I dare not claim to be a formidable expert in this Central Region."

"At least, I can guide you through ordinary Heavenly Extreme Realm cultivation."

Xiao Yi smiled, saying, "Thank you for your kind offer, Senior Li He, but I currently have no major doubts."

"At least not at this level."

"There might be in future cultivation paths, but I haven't encountered them, so for now, I won't think much about it."

"Well, you are optimistic." Senior Li He nodded with satisfaction, "Indeed, a Martial Artist should maintain such a mindset to walk further on the Martial Arts Dao."

"Oh, by the way, did you come to the back hall specifically to see me?" Senior Li He asked.

"Yes." Xiao Yi nodded, saying, "I came to bid farewell."

"Farewell?" Senior Li He was first surprised, then understood.

"I knew you wouldn't stay too long in Star Swapping City."

"You are not someone who settles, plus you may have pressing matters."

"Go, only by going to more vibrant places can someone like you, a Heavenly Talent, shine."

"Thank you, Senior Li He." Xiao Yi performed a slight bow.

The time spent in Star Swapping City was greatly indebted to Senior Li He's care.

Senior Li He waved his hand, saying, "No need to thank me; the Central Region is filled with threats; you must be cautious."

"Outside the great cities, bloodshed is commonplace."

"But remember, you are the Wind Master of Wind Shattering Hall, the Deacon of Wind Shattering Hall."

"As long as Wind Shattering Hall exists, whenever you are near it, it's your strong shield."

"Keep that in mind."

"I understand." Xiao Yi nodded, expressing thanks.

...

After bidding farewell to Senior Li He, Xiao Yi sought out Lih Fengxing and the others.

"Hmm? Leaving? So soon?" Lih Fengxing and the others looked on in amazement.

"But then, the Star Swapping Day has ended, so staying in Star Swapping City doesn't hold much significance."

Everyone packed up and left together.

Outside Star Swapping City, the group glanced back at the first great city they arrived at in the Central Region, sharing a knowing smile.

Just as they were about to leave, a graceful figure blocked their path ahead.

"Deacon Xiao Yi, it seems you've forgotten our previous agreement." A woman glared at Xiao Yi with displeasure.

It was Lvu Qingran.
