Soul Emperor Martial God-Chapter 1685: Ran Qi’s Advancement

The entire venue was in an uproar.

Around, exclamations rose and fell.

At this moment, everyone’s eyes were focused on the two people in the Martial Arts Arena.

The brilliance of these two today completely overshadowed Ye Liu and Beiyin Dong from yesterday.

Yet the two on the Martial Arts Arena looked unusually calm.

Xiao Yi’s calmness naturally came from his strength.

But Ran Qi’s calmness seemed somewhat inexplicable.

Compared to the gritting teeth and excitement on Sword Mountain last night, this moment was indeed strangely tranquil.

At this time, the Sword Palace referee shouted, "The match begins."

The moment he finished speaking, the Sword Palace referee didn’t hesitate for a moment and instantly retreated far away.

Yesterday’s battle between Ye Liu and Beiyin Dong had already sounded the alarm for him.

Although he is a referee, he is also an experienced strong practitioner.

But compared to those truly monstrous talents, he is far inferior.

Yesterday, the instant the battle between Ye Liu and Beiyin Dong erupted, he was already shocked.

Today, he had no doubt the battle between Ran Qi and Yi Xiao would only be more intense than yesterday.

Therefore, he didn’t hesitate to retreat instantly to the edge of the Martial Arts Arena.

The battle had been announced to start.

But neither Xiao Yi nor Ran Qi made a move immediately.

Whoosh...

In Ran Qi’s hand, a long spear instantly condensed.

The spear was his Martial Soul, the Mad Dragon Cloud Piercing Spear.

Back then, when he first met in Fangcun City, the Mad Dragon Cloud Piercing Spear was a Purple High-Rank Martial Soul.

Of course, now, Ran Qi had successfully achieved his Martial Soul’s second Awakening, so the Mad Dragon Cloud Piercing Spear also advanced to a Black Martial Soul.

Moreover, its black glow was extremely intense, far surpassing Xue Bai, Heu Youu, and others.

More importantly, the Mad Dragon Cloud Piercing Spear, its body itself, was an Ancient Treasure born from thunder and lightning, so as a Martial Soul, its power was astonishing.

Not to mention, the Martial Soul had now advanced to black.

Speaking of Martial Souls, Ran Qi’s Martial Soul was enough to rank among the top five among the younger generation on the continent.

The reason for saying the top five was still Xiao Yi’s conservative assessment for now.

Ran Qi made a move, condensing his Martial Soul, representing that he did not dare to underestimate this battle and would go all out from the start.

Xiao Yi made no moves.

Ran Qi also temporarily did not make any moves, just staring directly at Xiao Yi.

"Although the match between the talents is drawn by the Sword Palace referee."

"But I knew yesterday that you and I would inevitably meet."

"Because, looking at the tens of thousands of martial artists here, and the thousands of forces and talents... there aren’t many qualified to fight you."

"Ye Liu already fought with Beiyin Dong yesterday."

"Naturally, today it’s me and you."

Ran Qi’s voice echoed throughout the venue.

All the martial artists present turned black in the face.

Ran Qi’s meaning was that he, Ran Qi, and Ye Liu, and at most Beiyin Dong, were the only ones qualified to fight Yi Xiao.

Other forces and talents simply had no qualification.

Even so, the martial artists present only showed disgruntled expressions, uttered a few grievances inwardly, but no one refuted it.

Because they knew it was the truth.

The battle between Ye Liu and Beiyin Dong yesterday had already shown the terrifying strength of these Supreme Monsters.

A strength that would shame even renowned martial artists of the older generation.

And Ran Qi, his reputation had never waned.

No one knew how far Ran Qi, who hadn’t appeared for years, had grown to this day.

"Let’s begin." Xiao Yi said indifferently.

"Alright." Ran Qi shouted, "Thunder Spear Domain."

Boom...

The invisible Heaven and Earth Power instantly covered the entire Martial Arts Arena.

Crackle...

The thousand-meter Martial Arts Arena was instantly filled with crackling lightning.

The aura of lightning was violent yet sharp.

That was Ran Qi’s strength.

This move, Xiao Yi had witnessed it outside Fangcun City in those years.

However, the Thunder Spear Domain of those years was clearly not comparable to today’s Thunder Spear Domain.

Boom...

Almost the instant the domain appeared, the Martial Arts Arena, reconstructed only last night, was again reduced to dust in an instant.

Under the lightning’s aura, the destruction of the Martial Arts Arena was more thorough than yesterday, not even leaving any powder.

"The Extreme East Iron Stone, reduced to nothing under the domain’s lightning, not even leaving powder?" The surrounding spectators’ faces changed drastically.

Xiao Yi nodded slightly, "With just the domain’s amplification, it instantly surpasses the barrier of 9991 Dao."

Xiao Yi wouldn’t be mistaken.

Ran Qi’s cultivation, like Ye Liu, was at 9990 Dao, just reaching the Supreme level.

Yet now, just by unleashing the domain, Ran Qi’s strength instantly stepped into 9991 Dao.

"It seems you’ve treaded solidly and swiftly on the Martial Arts Dao over the years." Xiao Yi praised.

"It’s not limited to the Martial Arts Dao." Ran Qi sneered, "Take my move and then speak."

"Spear Devour."

Ran Qi thrust out a spear attack.

A cold glint flashed with the spear.

Under the Thunder Spear Domain, more than a dozen blue Thunder Dragons followed the attack.

"Compared to those years, today’s spear is truly the Mad Dragon Cloud Piercing Spear." Xiao Yi smiled indifferently.

Bam...

A Purple Flame gathered in Xiao Yi’s hand, covering his hand.

When facing Heu Youu, he didn’t even need to gather powerful flames; even ordinary flames could defeat the enemy with one punch.

In a battle with Xue Bai, constrained by Xue Bai’s troublesome tactics, he gathered the Purple Crystal Spirit Flame to defeat the enemy with a finger.

And now, facing Ran Qi, as the battle commenced, Xiao Yi had already gathered the Purple Crystal Spirit Flame.

Such was Ran Qi’s strength.

Ran Qi was undoubtedly more than a notch stronger than the other Eighteen Mansions’s Talents.

Boom...

The Thunder Spear and Flame Fist collided instantly, producing a massive boom.

"Using a bare fist to take my spear? Yi Xiao, you’re underestimating people too much." Ran Qi, holding the spear, sent dozens of blue Thunder Dragons straight for Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi remained silent.

In fact, Xiao Yi wasn’t particularly invested in this battle.

But when he concentrated his formidable flame, especially the Purple Crystal Spirit Flame, it indicated that he acknowledged Ran Qi as a worthy opponent.

Boom...

Another deafening boom sounded.

The dozens of blue Thunder Dragons on the Mad Dragon Cloud Piercing Spear were blasted apart by Xiao Yi’s Flame Fist.

The rampaging lightning, in a rampant form, was scattered behind Ran Qi, permeating half the Martial Arts Arena.

At the same time, the Flame in Xiao Yi’s hand was largely dispersed by Spear Devour, spreading over the Martial Arts Arena.

The Martial Arts Arena might have been reduced to nothingness under the lightning,

but within this range, it had clearly become a domain of rampant lightning and flame.

"Amazing, is this the strength of Ran Qi and Brother Yi?" In the spectator stands, Ye Liu exclaimed, eyes filled with delight.

Within the Martial Arts Arena range.

Xiao Yi glanced at the spear tip on his fist, nodded, "Your Martial Technique has also grown a lot, enough to catch my attention."

"You think that’s all?" Ran Qi sneered.

"Thunder Beast."

A massive beast of lightning abruptly condensed on the tip of Ran Qi’s spear.

At the same time, Ran Qi’s aura once again surged.

"Hmm? Reaching the Supreme 9993 Dao realm." A slight trace of awe flashed in Xiao Yi’s eyes.

...

Second update.
