Soul Emperor Martial God-Chapter 1543: Vitality Annihilation

A certain region outside the Sword Domain.

Inside the cave.

The pain Xiao Yi was experiencing had become unbearable, and he was even convulsing in agony.

Outside the cave.

Whoosh... Whoosh...

Two figures suddenly descended from the sky.

Both were dressed in black robes.

The black robes concealed their faces.

But if their faces were seen, it would certainly make one shudder.

For it was a horrifying face, with deep-set eyes and a gaunt countenance.

"Bai Gu, let’s not complicate matters," one person said in a deep voice.

"Evil Bone," the other sneered, "It’s rare to witness such celestial phenomena and the emergence of treasures; how could we let it go?"

Evil Bone frowned and said, "What if it’s not the emergence of treasures, but a strong cultivator training..."

Bai Gu laughed coldly, "Fool! How could an ordinary strong cultivator invoke celestial phenomena?"

"Besides, how could there be such a coincidence in the world?"

Evil Bone cautiously said, "We are supposed to return to the branch; if anything goes wrong, how will the two of us bear the responsibility?"

Bai Gu said with pride, "What if when we return to the branch, we also bring a hefty gift for the elders?"

"How many years have we both been in these deacon positions?"

"I heard there are several vacant Squad Leader positions in the branch."

"If we can satisfy the elders, we won’t have to continue with these hardships."

Hearing this, Evil Bone had a flicker of interest in his eyes.

"Let’s go." Bai Gu said, leading the way toward the cave.

Evil Bone quickly followed.

"Huh? A barrier?" Bai Gu suddenly frowned.

"Luckily, I brought a magic artifact."

"I think this might be a cave mansion," Evil Bone said, no longer cautious, but rather with a happy expression.

A light flashed across Bai Gu’s hand.

A disc materialized out of thin air.

The disc projected onto the barrier.

A dozen minutes later.

The barrier shattered instantly.

Bai Gu’s face was increasingly delighted, "This barrier is so strong, the artifact took this long to absorb all its power."

"Inside must be a cave mansion left by a supreme expert."

The two showed joy on their faces as they entered the cave mansion.

Inside the cave mansion, Xiao Yi was still convulsing painfully and was extremely weak.

"Hmm? My barrier has been broken." Xiao Yi was shocked.

In a short time, two figures appeared before him.

"How is this possible?" Xiao Yi’s face beneath the mask changed dramatically.

He was always cautious, even setting up barriers around him while refining medicine and cultivating.

So originally, he was not worried.

But now, how had his barrier been broken?

For someone to break the barrier he set up with all his strength so easily, it had to be a supreme expert.

In his current state, how could he deal with supreme experts?

Bai Gu and Evil Bone, upon entering the cave, did not find a cave mansion.

Instead, they saw a masked figure convulsing in pain.

"Damn, it’s not a cave mansion," Bai Gu cursed.

"Sure enough, it’s a strong cultivator training, let’s go," Evil Bone said, shocked.

"What are you afraid of?" Bai Gu laughed coldly, "Can’t you see he’s in pain and convulsing?"

"Clearly he’s seriously injured."

"Anyone who could set up such a barrier wouldn’t be ordinary, and must have many treasures on them."

"It’s all easy pickings for us now."

As Bai Gu spoke, a disc materialized out of thin air in his hand.

A shadowy aura flickered within the disc.

A black light condensed and emerged.

"Bai Gu, wait," Evil Bone exclaimed, "Why do I feel this mask is familiar?"

"It doesn’t matter who he is," Bai Gu said with discontent.

"Saint Emperor Realm First Layer? Two of them?" Xiao Yi bore intense pain, his bloodshot eyes slightly hazy, but he could easily discern the pair’s strength.

"Evil cultivators?" Xiao Yi saw the faces under the black robes.

"Let it be, kill him first," Bai Gu sneered, launching an attack in an instant.

"Courting death." Xiao Yi’s heart chilled. He forcibly endured the backlash, and a flame ignited at his fingertips.

Bang...

A Purple Flame shot out in an instant.

Evil Bone’s face changed, "No, this Purple Flame... it’s him... Yi Xiao, run..."

Before Evil Bone finished speaking.

The Purple Flame had already engulfed the two of them.

The two transformed into nothingness almost in the blink of an eye.

Only two Universe Rings and a disc were left at the scene.

Xiao Yi’s current cultivation was at the Saint Emperor Realm Fifth Layer.

Even without utilizing the formidable flames of the world, killing these two of the Saint Emperor Realm First Layer was just a flick of the fingers.

Xiao Yi let out a sigh of relief, but the severe pain within his body assaulted him once again.

His sturdy body convulsed in agony.

On one side of his body, a cold white aura seeped out; on the other side, a scorching heat burnt dangerously red.

This situation lasted for nearly an hour.

Only after an hour did Xiao Yi recover from the backlash.

The clothing on his right had been burned to nothing.

The clothing on his left was damp with cold sweat.

"Whew." Xiao Yi exhaled heavily, sensing within his body.

There were no injuries within his body.

But the inhumane torment earlier nearly shattered his mind.

"Taiyin and Taiyang Eyes, this is the first time they’ve caused such terrifying backlash," Xiao Yi felt a lingering fear.

The Taiyin and Taiyang Eyes were granted by the Ice Phoenix Sword.

It signified the Ice Phoenix Sword’s recognition of its master, providing validation.

It seemed, not using the power within the Ice Phoenix Sword all these years was the right choice.

Clearly, even more dreadful backlash lay within the Ice Phoenix Sword.

Although the backlash did not injure him internally, the pain and torment nearly stripped him of his combat capability instantly.

"Ice Phoenix Sword, how much longer until I unravel your secrets?" Xiao Yi breathed deeply.

"Right." Without another thought, Xiao Yi immediately recalled the matter of Martial Arts Fusion.

The fusion point between the Ten Realms Annihilation Fire and his internal Martial Arts Power had been found.

Now, it was time for the fusion.

Whoosh... Whoosh... Whoosh...

The Heaven and Earth Martial Arts Power of the Ten Realms Annihilation Fire descended instantly.

Xiao Yi likewise absorbed it instantly.

"It’s done." Xiao Yi introspected the Martial Arts Power within his Small World, his face filled with joy.

Having prepared everything, Xiao Yi sat cross-legged, stabilizing the chaotic aura caused by the backlash earlier.

Minutes later, Xiao Yi opened his eyes.

"Purple Flame Domain, rise." Xiao Yi commanded in a low voice.

With his aura stabilized, it was time to test the power of the fused Martial Arts Power of the third intense flame.

Bang...

In the Purple Flame Domain, additional fused Martial Arts Power of the Earth Vein Golden Fire and Ten Realms Annihilation Fire converged.

A flame formed.

The flame, compared to before, was marginally stronger.

But to say it was significantly stronger wouldn’t be quite accurate.

"The flame’s power, Fire Control Ability, has strengthened by about ten percent." Xiao Yi frowned slightly.

This ten percent was not much.

Compared to the manifold increase brought by the earlier fusion of the Earth Vein Golden Fire, it paled greatly.

Perhaps it was due to his lower cultivation and weaker power back then.

After all, at the time, he was merely at the Heavenly Extreme Realm.

And now, he had the cultivation of the Saint Emperor Realm, hence the less noticeable increase.

"No, it’s not right." Xiao Yi felt there was something different about the Purple Flame Domain.

Xiao Yi pondered a moment and produced an Emperor-grade Heaven and Earth Treasure.

It was a fruit.

However, the originally vibrant fruit quickly turned black.

In just ten seconds, the vitality of the Holy Fruit was depleted, turning to dust.

Xiao Yi glanced at the surrounding Purple Flame Domain, suddenly realizing.

"It’s the effect of the Ten Realms Annihilation Fire."

The increase was present, but it all manifested in the Ten Realms Annihilation Fire.

...

Third update.
