Soul Emperor Martial God

Central Region, somewhere.

Outside a vast Demon Beast Forest.

Thousands of Martial Artists were watching the scene in front of them, their faces filled with shock.

The gigantic Demon Beast Forest was currently emitting towering flames.

A layer of purple flames rose, resembling a purple Fire Dragon, winding up into the sky.

A figure stood high in the air, indifferently.

Amidst the layers of flames, this figure appeared somewhat blurry, somewhat illusory.

No one could see his face, for the figure was wearing a mask.

However, it was obvious to anyone that this figure was not old, just a young man.

Before the crowd could think further.

The figure in the sky waved his large hand.

Inside the Demon Beast Forest, beams of light soared into the air.

The next second, the figure's purple flame wings flapped, and he swiftly flew away.

Simultaneously, the raging fire within the Demon Beast Forest vanished instantly.

Yet, the entire Demon Beast Forest was unharmed.

The trees, flowers, and even the smallest leaf were untouched.

It was as if the flames that had just engulfed the entire forest never appeared.

The only difference, perhaps, was the unusual silence now enveloping the Demon Beast Forest.

Yes, silence, so quiet it sent chills down one's spine.

A Martial Artist swallowed, coming back to his senses from his shock, and slightly released his perception.

The next moment, his face turned ashen.

"Wh... what happened?" the other Martial Artists nearby asked in alarm.

"No... nothing left." The Martial Artist who extended his perception trembled.

"What's gone?" the other Martial Artists pressed for answers.

"All of them, all gone," the Martial Artist exclaimed in shock, "Every demon beast in the Demon Beast Forest, all gone."

"What? How is that possible?" Martial Artists around hurriedly released their perception.

Their perception naturally could not cover the entire vast forest.

But anywhere their perception swept across was empty, not a single demon beast remained.

"Terrifying, such precise Fire Control Ability," said an older Martial Artist, gravely.

"Towering flames engulfed and ravaged the entire Demon Beast Forest."

"Every demon beast was burned to ashes under the flames, leaving no trace behind."

"Yet, the surrounding trees and flowers remained unscathed."

"This person's Fire Control Technique is truly terrifying."

"What?" the surrounding Martial Artists were startled, "Could that guy be him?"

"Who?"

"I don't know, no one knows his name, only that he's a Demon Hunter, and a newcomer at that."

"He mysteriously appeared a month ago, wearing a mask, moving like a ghost."

"Every time he appeared, the flames would be raging, ravaging the entire Demon Beast Forest."

"No demon beast inside the Demon Beast Forest escaped."

"By now, he has wiped out over 30 vast Demon Beast Forests."

Outside the quiet Demon Beast Forest, thousands of Martial Artists were discussing in shock.

Flipping a hand to massacre an entire Demon Beast Forest, some highly cultivated Martial Artists could do this without difficulty.

But to precisely kill demon beasts under the raging flames like that fiery figure just did, is nearly unimaginable.

...

Thousands of miles away, a flaming figure abruptly halted his flight.

The figure, of course, was Xiao Yi.

That's right, it had been a month since he found and joined the Demon Hunting Hall.

A month ago, after leaving Green Light City, Xiao Yi wore the Ghost Mask and went to a large Demon Hunting Hall nearby.

As he expected, his identity as a Demon Hunter when he was in the Eastern Domain had no record in the Central Region here.

He did not belong to the Central Region.

So even though he found and joined the Demon Hunting Hall, he was merely a Level 1 Demon Hunter without any title.

Titles or ranks, Xiao Yi did not care about.

What he cared about was having enough authority to access records and intelligence.

Thus, for this past month, he diligently slew demon beasts, accumulating merits and Task Points.

However, he did not linger near Green Light City.

Whether it was Star Swapping City, Green Light City, or other nearby cities, they were all on the fringes of the Central Region.

The Holy Moon Sect could easily dispatch a Martial Art strongman like Cang Yue to hunt him down.

It's not hard to imagine that the Holy Moon Sect was an extremely powerful force.

Xiao Yi did not believe such a powerful force would be located in such a fringe area.

Thus, he had to continue deeper into the Central Region.

This led him to hunt demons along the way.

In addition, his plan was to hunt demons to the best of his ability during his journey.

Then, once he had hunted enough demon beasts, accumulating enough Task Points, he would be able to advance his title.

Moreover, the Demon Hunting Hall near Green Light City was just a large branch hall.

Xiao Yi had no longer had any hopes for a branch hall.

The records and intelligence a branch hall possessed would not be much, nor of high level.

Once he accumulated enough Task Points, he should be able to find a Main Hall.

Of course, the so-called 'finding' was not literally searching.

When he left that large branch hall, he already knew the distribution of other Demon Hunting Halls.

The distribution of each Demon Hunting Hall was not a secret.

After all, the purpose of the Demon Hunting Hall's existence was to hunt demons, to provide adequate support to Demon Hunters.

"A million miles away, there is a Main Hall," Xiao Yi murmured to himself, gazing into the distance.

Given his speed, even with hunting demons along the way, he could reach it in at most ten to fifteen days.

"I need to speed up my demon hunting," Xiao Yi contemplated silently.

In the Central Region, regardless of which hall, the Task Points and merits required for warriors to upgrade their titles are immense.

...

Several days later, Xiao Yi stopped flying in front of a large city.

"Fangcun City." Xiao Yi glanced at the three large characters on the city wall, furrowing his brows.

Then, his figure flickered as he descended from the sky.

Any large city was designated as No-fly.

Xiao Yi naturally needed to land.

Fangcun City was the most famous and the strongest city within several million miles around.

Rumor has it, the City Lord of Fangcun City was a powerful Array Master.

The entire city was covered under a Formation.

Of course, whether the rumor was true or false, Xiao Yi was not interested.

He came here because a Demon Hunting Hall Main Hall was situated here.

As he stepped quickly inside, a team of City Guards stopped him at the city gate.

The reason was simple, to collect the city entrance fee.

Tens of millions of taels meant nothing to Xiao Yi now.

After paying the entrance fee, he officially entered.

However, just as he took a step inside the city gate.

"Hmm?" Xiao Yi's expression changed.

At the city gate, an inexplicable probing force suddenly descended upon him.

"Cover," Xiao Yi murmured in his heart.

A barrier enveloped him.

At the same time, the probing force dissipated silently without a trace.

"Fangcun City, somewhat interesting," Xiao Yi's eyes narrowed.

The force that tried to probe him earlier clearly carried the aura of a Formation.

Although Xiao Yi was not a Great Power in formations, he had some rare achievements, and it was not able to escape his notice.

Xiao Yi shook his head, without paying further attention, hurriedly heading towards the Demon Hunting Hall.

First update.
