Soul Emperor Martial God-Chapter 718: Cold Ice Three Palm

Xiao Yi fell into a state of enlightenment.

He didn’t notice that the blood-colored skies above suddenly began to surge.

The entire sky across the Ten Thousand Miles Territory, filled with blood-red, surged forth like a massive blood dragon.

Its fierce and dominant aura seemed as if it could break through the Heavenly Dome.

Along its path, those bones that had not decayed for ten thousand years instantaneously turned into dust under the might of the blood dragon.

However, when the blood reached Xiao Yi,

its overwhelming presence and ferocious speed suddenly halted.

The speed began to slow down immensely.

The blood enveloped Xiao Yi.

It seemed to transform into gentle lake waters, quietly flowing.

Quietly brushing over Xiao Yi’s body.

With each stroke, Xiao Yi’s expression grew more solemn.

A thick scent of blood made his body uncomfortable.

Layers of chilling killing intent left his mind in a trance.

The terrifying killing intent, any single wave was hundreds of times more intense than the first or second layer’s killing intents.

Xiao Yi’s mind seemed to have entered a Blood-colored Purgatory.

It was a world of blood.

And he was in the midst of it.

The blood seemed to try to devour him.

He even felt that if he was slightly careless, his mind would sink into it, never to recover.

His mind grew increasingly resolute.

His Sword Heart, solid as a rock, firmly guarded his heart.

His expression was cold.

Every bit the blood dragon flowed, a thread of Martial Arts Knowledge would transmit into his mind.

Xiao Yi was now bearing the corrosion of the blood while distracting himself in enlightenment.

He was not only trying to comprehend the Hand Technique but all the inheritance left by King Fengxu.

Based on the Martial Arts Knowledge present, its complexity and profoundness left Xiao Yi somewhat incredulous.

This inheritance was harder, much harder than any inheritance he had ever comprehended.

Time slowly passed by.

It was unknown how much time had elapsed.

Xiao Yi had been standing by himself, never changing his posture.

Just standing there, comprehending.

The blood dragon continued to flow over his body as usual.

...

Half a month passed in a flash.

Yet, Xiao Yi was still in a state of enlightenment, not having awakened.

The length the blood dragon had traveled around him was not even half.

...

At the same time, in the first layer of the Fengxu Secret Realm.

Princess Fengxu paced anxiously.

She was waiting for Xiao Yi.

Half a month had passed, and Xiao Yi had not returned.

"Princess, I think we should not wait any longer," Li Hao’s scornful laugh sounded.

"The Fengxu Secret Realm is brimming with dangers, that lad is probably long dead."

"That’s right," a few other refining geniuses, led by Li Hao, agreed.

"Beyond this three thousand miles, further ahead lies the territory dense with Peak of Heavenly Origin Realm demon beasts."

"That Xiao Yi was so arrogant, going alone, he’s probably long dead on the road."

"You’re talking nonsense," Du Youyou’s face filled with anger.

She was furious at people speaking this way about her master.

"My master must have already passed the second layer, no, he definitely went to the Third Layer already."

"With my master’s ability, the treasures of the second and third layers must have been completely scavenged by him."

"It wouldn’t be long before my master returns unscathed with a bunch of treasure."

"Hmph, nothing but a girl spouting nonsense," Li Hao snorted coldly.

"To the second layer, the Third Layer?"

"Didn’t you hear Princess Fengxu? Even the end of the first layer already had Extreme Realm Demon Beasts."

"The dangers of the second and third layers are predictable."

"That lad, let alone going to the second layer, he can’t even make it to the end of the first."

"Shut up," Du Youyou stamped her foot in frustration.

"My master will definitely come back."

Her heart had already forgotten about the treasures; she just wanted Xiao Yi to return safely.

In just half a month, she had come to deeply understand just how dangerous the Fengxu Secret Realm was.

Even at this distance, they had endured no fewer than a hundred attacks by demon beasts in the past half-month.

"Enough, stop arguing," Princess Fengxu called out.

"If Young Master Xiao Yi does not return in another two hours..."

Princess Fengxu hesitated for a moment, then gritted her teeth and said, "We will have to leave."

Du Youyou remained silent.

Li Hao and the others wore cold smirks on their faces.

In his opinion, it would be better if Xiao Yi did not return.

Two hours passed in a blink of an eye.

Ahead, snow flurried through the air, shrouding everything in a vast expanse of white, yet there was no sign of anyone returning.

Princess Fengxu gritted her teeth again, sighed, and said, "Let’s go."

"Princess Fengxu," Du Youyou looked at Princess Fengxu with a pleading expression.

"Can we wait a little longer for my master?"

"What else is there to wait for?" Li Hao said coldly.

"The Fengxu Secret Realm is so dangerous, he insisted on overestimating his abilities and finding his own death; why blame others?"

"Do we really have to put everyone at risk in this perilous place, waiting for him indefinitely?"

"Li Hao makes a good point," chimed in refining prodigies nearby.

"I remember Princess Fengxu once said that not even the king could get through the first layer’s end."

"It’s easy to imagine that Xiao Yi definitely couldn’t have made it either."

"But, since Xiao Yi couldn’t make it, logically he should have returned."

"But now, a whole half-month has passed, and still, we have seen no sign of him."

"Therefore, there’s only one possibility."

A refining prodigy analyzed solemnly.

Finally, they stated gravely, "He must have died, perished within this Fengxu Secret Realm."

"You’re talking nonsense," Du Youyou said anxiously, ignoring the others and turning her gaze towards Princess Fengxu.

Princess Fengxu shook her head and said, "We can’t wait any longer."

"The time I agreed with Young Master Xiao Yi was half a month."

"With Young Master Xiao Yi’s abilities, had he been unharmed, he would surely have returned within half a month."

"Now that half a month has passed and he has still not returned, it appears he really encountered some misfortune."

Princess Fengxu spoke in an extremely solemn tone.

"But... but..." Du Youyou began anxiously, "What about our master if we leave?"

"Princess, once you leave the secret realm, it will automatically lock down."

"If my master isn’t dead then, wouldn’t he be trapped here?"

Princess Fengxu furrowed her brows and after a long while, she still shook her head.

"We can’t wait any longer."

"Princess..." Du Youyou wanted to say something.

Princess Fengxu interrupted her, "Today is the last deadline of the Gale Kingdom."

"The armies of the Gale Kingdom will reach the borders of the Fengxu Kingdom today."

"The powerhouses of the Gale Kingdom will make their move against our Fengxu Kingdom today."

"I cannot wait any longer."

After saying this, Princess Fengxu looked deeply at Du Youyou.

"Then... then you go, I’ll stay here and wait for my master," Du Youyou pouted.

Princess Fengxu said sternly, "Demon beasts roam this place; you would lose your life within minutes if left here alone."

"Before Young Master Xiao Yi left, I promised him I would take good care of you."

"Whether Young Master Xiao Yi has encountered misfortune or not, I must keep my promise."

Swish—Princess Fengxu moved in a flash.

Du Youyou felt a blur before her eyes and was suddenly knocked unconscious by a palm.

"Let’s go," Princess Fengxu said sternly, supporting Du Youyou.

The group then left the Fengxu Secret Realm.

...

In the Third Layer, Xiao Yi was still in a state of meditation, not yet awakened.

Time passed, unknown how much.

Suddenly, a beam of light burst out from the engulfing blood-colored dragon.

"Disperse," a cold voice commanded.

The surrounding blood colors dissipated all at once.

Revealing Xiao Yi within.

Xiao Yi moved his numb feet, not knowing how long he had stood.

The next second was filled with joy.
