Soul Emperor Martial God-Chapter 711: Inside the Third Layer

Xiao Yi’s palms moved slowly.

On his body, on his palms, there wasn’t the slightest ripple of Primordial Power.

He was just moving them casually.

Yet the blizzards and snow dragons that spanned a thousand feet around him moved in accordance with his palms.

Their ferocity was even more terrifying than the bloodstorm of the Red Blood Giant Wolf that had appeared a moment ago.

Time gradually passed.

It was only after a full three days that Xiao Yi’s palm movements abruptly stopped.

"What’s going on?" Xiao Yi suddenly furrowed his brows.

The text coming from the second layer’s barrier, which was the second part of the Hand Technique, he had fully comprehended.

He had understood the Martial Technique, yet he was unable to execute it.

In fact, he had finished comprehending it several hours ago.

But he had been continuously unable to execute the Martial Technique.

To be more precise, it seemed he was unable to control it.

Perhaps, it was because this set of Hand Technique was still incomplete.

Xiao Yi speculated quietly.

In the Secret Realm’s first layer, the first part of this Hand Technique had appeared.

In the second layer, the second part appeared.

So clearly, the final part of this Hand Technique was in the Third Layer.

Upon entering the Third Layer, he would obtain the complete Martial Technique.

Xiao Yi was always optimistic and didn’t think too much about it.

He took a glance at the Wind Crystals in his Universe Ring. He had been slaying demon beasts all the way through the Secret Realm, and he had collected a large number of Wind Crystals.

Each Wind Crystal contained a vast and pure force.

Especially the Wind Crystals from these hundred Red Blood Giant Wolves, the purity of the force within had even reached the Earth Extreme Peak.

"Just a bit more," Xiao Yi estimated.

The quantity of these Wind Crystals was just a little short of being sufficient for enhancing his Cultivation.

Hence, he decided not to refine them for the moment.

Walking up to the barrier, he sent out his perception.

Indeed, inside the barrier, there was the same strangling force as there had been in the first layer’s barrier.

The requirement to pass through it was to comprehend the second part of the Hand Technique.

Xiao Yi had already fully comprehended the second part of the Hand Technique.

Naturally, the pattern of the strangling force contained in the barrier was crystal clear in Xiao Yi’s eyes.

At this moment, Xiao Yi could pass through the barrier anytime.

However, just as he was about to step forward, he abruptly halted.

He hesitated.

Within the Fengxu Secret Realm, the further one went, the more dangerous it became, with ever more terrifying demon beasts appearing.

At the end of the second layer here, there was already a pack of Red Blood Giant Wolves at the Earth Extreme Seventh Layer.

Then what about the Third Layer?

What level of demon beasts would appear there?

Perhaps it wasn’t necessarily demon beasts, but there must be a great crisis.

Xiao Yi frowned slightly, and after a long while, he bit his teeth and entered without hesitation.

He wanted to see what was in the Third Layer.

Perhaps he could even find higher-grade Wind Crystals.

Of course, there might be even greater benefits to be had.

The saying goes that wealth comes from danger, and one must seize the opportunity when it arises.

When he was alone, he had nothing much to worry about.

Of course, his own Cultivation and methods already gave him sufficient confidence.

And the most important point was that he had a certain doubt.

That was about how this Ancient Secret Realm came to be, how it existed.

These Ancient secrets, he wanted to know more, to understand more.

Only then could he understand the vast Central Region.

Shangguan Xiyue’s words, he always remembered deeply.

That phrase "very far, very far," along with the archives he had consulted a few days ago, made him feel more than ever that the Central Region was far from simple.

"Whew." Xiao Yi took a light breath, shook his head, and stopped overthinking.

Some things, he couldn’t wait to do; yet he had to explore slowly, step by step.

His steps finally carried him into the barrier.

A flash of light sparkled, and he passed through the barrier.

"Eh?"

The scene that appeared before his eyes made Xiao Yi suddenly frown deeply.

This was the Third Layer.

But here, it was a calm world.

There were no snowflakes, and even more so, no blizzards.

In place of that, the sky was a swath of blood-red.

The whole world seemed like a realm of blood,

striking terror into the heart and creating an ominous disquiet.

Step by step...

Xiao Yi’s footsteps began to move.

The ground was ordinary, with no hint of abnormality.

The entire Third Layer, as far as the eye could see, was boundless.

Xiao Yi guessed that if the previous pattern held,

The first layer was a distance of six thousand miles; the second layer, eight thousand miles.

The Third Layer must be a full ten thousand miles.

A territory of ten thousand miles was indeed vast.

Xiao Yi walked aimlessly, but his senses were constantly on alert.

His awareness covered an area of dozens of miles around him.

Within that range, he could detect every rustle of the wind and movement of grass.

The eerie atmosphere here made him dare not let his guard down for even a moment.

For half an hour, Xiao Yi continued to wander without purpose.

During that time, he encountered neither demon beasts nor any danger.

Several minutes later,

Xiao Yi’s advancing steps suddenly quivered.

His expression became gravely serious.

In his perception, something was there, dozens of miles away.

Whir... whir...

His figure flitted a few dozen miles in the span of a few breaths.

As Xiao Yi stopped his flitting figure, he was already dozens of miles away.

And before him, on the ground, lay two things.

No, to be precise, they were two corpses.

The corpses had turned to skeletons, clothed in tattered armor.

The armor bore a conspicuous palm print.

The palm print had punctured through the armor.

At the same time, other parts of the armor showed signs of erosion and rot.

Xiao Yi furrowed his brow, and after a moment of sensing, his face instantly changed.

"A top-grade Elemental Artifact-level armor."

What kind of power was required to pierce through a top-grade Elemental Artifact-level armor with one blow?

Additionally, the extent of the corrosion on the armor indicated the corpses had been dead for an exceedingly long time.

Beside it, on another skeleton,

Was also a piece of tattered armor, this one with a mark of being pierced by a sharp sword.

It was similarly severely corroded.

Xiao Yi took another few looks.

Aside from the damaged armor, there was nothing else on the two corpses.

If even top-grade Elemental Artifacts had eroded over an immense span of time, what other objects could have survived?

Xiao Yi’s expression was somber as he continued onward for barely a hundred meters before encountering another two corpses.

The situation was much like the previous two.

After about fifteen minutes, Xiao Yi had traveled roughly a hundred miles.

The scene before him made him take a sharp breath.

All around were densely packed corpses, no fewer than hundreds.

Even in death, the aura emanating from the skeletal remains was enough to startle Xiao Yi.

Around him were numerous traces of fierce battles.

Despite the passage of years, the marks of these skirmishes had not been erased.

Another hundred miles ahead, corpses were scattered everywhere.

"Hisss." Xiao Yi inhaled sharply.

What sort of grand battle had taken place here countless years ago?

In the sky, the sinister blood color seemed to sting the eyes.

The vastness of skeletal remains could be described as a mountain of bones and a sea of corpses.

This place was no different from a terrifying Purgatory.

Xiao Yi’s face was so solemn it seemed as though it might drip water.

Everything here was beyond his imagination.

His gaze turned toward the distance.

There, an ancient palace appeared in his view.

"A palace?" Xiao Yi narrowed his eyes, gritted his teeth, and walked forward slowly.

...

Second update.
