Soul Emperor Martial God-Chapter 1542: An Even Stronger Backlash

"Yiyi?"

The woman’s light expression completely vanished in an instant.

It was replaced by a touch of doting love, and helplessness.

"Summon her here." The woman sighed and said.

"Yes." The servant bowed and left.

"Forget it." The woman suddenly waved her hand, "I’ll go myself."

Inside an ancient room.

The silhouette of the woman appeared out of thin air.

Inside the room, it was a mess at the moment.

A young woman seemed to have taken the room as her outlet for anger.

The woman frowned slightly, glancing around.

"Bodhi Ancient Wood takes ten thousand years to form seeds, a hundred thousand years to form branches, and three hundred thousand years to become wood."

"Your bed used no less than dozens of Bodhi Ancient Woods, only to be smashed to pieces."

"The Moon Shadow Flower needs the Moonlight essence to shine for two hundred eighty thousand years to completely bloom."

"I placed it in your room to strengthen your Dao Heart by twice, making you less likely to encounter a Heart Demon."

"And yet you crushed it to dust."

"Monarch Dao Lingtian Fruit matures only after six hundred thirty thousand years; I have painstakingly cultivated it for you, just to wait for you to break that supreme barrier and make a leap forward."

"But you shattered it with one palm..."

The woman spoke slowly.

The young woman interrupted indifferently, "I have no hope for cultivation anymore. Even if these are supreme treasures for cultivation, of what use are they to me?"

The woman’s brow furrowed, "Your talent is astounding, progressing on the cultivation path swiftly; where is there no hope?"

The young woman coldly replied, "I only know, the promise Master made to me was never fulfilled."

The woman stood with hands behind her back, proudly speaking, "Everything in this world that you need, when has your Master ever uttered ’no’ to you, when have you ever frowned even slightly?"

"When you needed the extremely cold power of the Far North to break through to the Saint Realm, your Master refined ten thousand Ice Mountains into Extreme Ice Seeds for you."

"When you needed the Heavenly East Divine Stone of the Extreme East to break through to the Saint Emperor Realm, your Master broke all Ancient Barrier prohibitions there to bring it for you."

"When you mastered 9000 Martial Souls..."

The young woman interrupted again, "That was something Master thought I needed, not what I needed..."

The woman seemed somewhat displeased with the young woman’s interruption, interrupting in the same way, "Do you think your Master hasn’t done enough, not pampered you enough?"

The woman shook her head, speaking with cold indifference, "Master should understand my meaning."

After the young woman finished speaking, she said no more.

The woman’s face turned cold, "To put it plainly, you’re still thinking about that boy."

The young woman coldly replied, "Master promised, as long as I break through to the Heavenly Extreme Realm and Saint Realm, I could return..."

"But I also stated, the premise is you have enough strength." The woman’s words had already become tough.

"You say you have enough strength; your Master gave you a test."

"But the result was you couldn’t even defeat that small waste from the Evil Lord Mansion."

The young woman countered, "I could defeat him, it was just that he had premeditatedly laid traps with a large number of Evil Cultivators in ambush."

"Yes, premeditated, you also know scheming." The woman already displayed anger.

"Do you know enough about the vastness of the Central Region? The dangers within the Central Region, do you know enough?"

"Even if your Master lets you return, can you guarantee there won’t be any enemies along your way? Enemies won’t scheme against you?"

"Your strength is not sufficient; how can your Master let you return with peace of mind?"

"Could it be that the countless pampering, the great care from your Master is seen by you as schemes against you, deceiving you?"

"Yiyi dares not." The young woman continuously knelt.

The cold expression and indifference on her face had long vanished.

Replaced by weakness and guilt.

Evidently, the young woman’s cold demeanor was merely an act.

She was still as she was back then, serene in nature, gentle and charming.

The woman noticed the change in the young woman’s expression, smiled inwardly, and helped her up repeatedly.

"Yiyi, your Master has given you tests, but since you cannot pass them, continue working hard in your cultivation."

"Until when should I cultivate?" The young woman frowned, pinching the corner of her clothes, gently asking.

The woman thought for a moment and said, "First, master 9996 Martial Souls."

"After you break the supreme barrier, your Master will provide another test."

...

Leaving the room, the woman casually set up a barrier.

At the side, the servant respectfully and perplexedly asked, "The Holy Daughter has always treated people with calmness; it’s the first time this old servant has seen her so angry."

The woman shook her head, "Clean the room, and bring another Monarch Dao Lingtian Fruit."

The servant departed.

The woman looked at the door and couldn’t help but sneer, "Yiyi, you are destined to inherit our Holy Moon Sect’s glory; how could I let you leave."

"I only have you as a disciple. That waste of a boy from the Eastern Domain is not worthy of you."

...

Inside the cave of the Sword Domain.

Xiao Yi still gazed at the sky.

Only, the face behind the mask was filled with extreme pain.

In the eyes, drops of fresh blood slowly flowed down.

"Just a little longer, almost found it." Xiao Yi gritted his teeth.

Using the Taiyin and Taiyang Eyes to discern the mysteries of Heaven and Earth is not as simple as imagined.

In this rebellious act, his eyes were already so painful he could barely bear it.

Though earlier he quickly discerned two thousand Flame Martial Ways.

But those flames were all Second-class Flames.

And now, he wanted to discern the world’s formidable flame, the Ten Realms Annihilation Fire Martial Way, and find its compatibility with other Martial Ways.

The difficulty was evidently much greater.

However, the more he used his eyes to discern the Heaven and Earth Martial Way, the more uncomfortable it became.

After over ten seconds.

The blood in his eyes was already flowing profusely.

"Found it." Xiao Yi suddenly rejoiced, quickly retracting his gaze.

The Taiyin and Taiyang Eyes dissipated.

However, blood continued to flow freely from his eyes.

Forehead and body filled with cold sweat.

"Damn it, ugh..." Xiao Yi barely had time to howl in pain before his body could no longer stand and collapsed.

In collapse, he did not lose consciousness but was extremely pained.

Evidently, he suffered a backlash.

He was more than aware of this backlash feeling, identical to the backlash previously felt when activating the forces within the Ice Phoenix Sword.

Except that previously, the backlash from the Ice Phoenix Sword was only cold and unpredictable.

Now, the left side of the body was cold to the soul, while the right side was exceedingly hot.

At a closer look, the fallen Xiao Yi had cold white vapor emanating from the left side of the body; the right side was completely red, burning his black attire to nothingness.

Inside his body, two extreme cold and hot auras clashed relentlessly.

Xiao Yi never feared so-called pain, having endured injuries and life-and-death crises that had honed his remarkable willpower.

But now, this pain was unbearable, causing cold sweat to flow and immense agony.

The coldness on the left side felt as if freezing his bones, and soul.

The heat on the right side was akin to being in a Fire Sea, turning into ashes in an instant.

Crack crack crack...

Xiao Yi’s fists clenched, making creaking sounds.

Cold sweat from his forehead flowed into the bleeding eyes.

Muffled sounds of cries emanated from beneath the mask.

...

The disturbances in various ancient places once again vanished.

Inside the Wind Shattering Main Hall, the expression of the Wind Shattering Palace Master suddenly twitched.

"It vanished again."

"Appearing, disappearing, disappearing, appearing, what is this Crown playing at?"

Beside him, the Chengfeng Hall Master’s expression also twitched, "Hall Master, still investigating?"

"What do you think?" The Master of the Main Hall glared at the Chengfeng Hall Master, looking at the sky where the anomaly had long disappeared, appearing somewhat exasperated.

The Chengfeng Hall Master sighed in relief, "That matter with Xiao Yi..."

The Master of the Main Hall waved his hand, "That Luo definitely wants to fuse the Sword Emperor Origin with Mo Youu’s Martial Soul."

"If used for absorption and refinement, it would take at least decades; but if merged into a Martial Soul, it can be completed in a short time."

"If I and Old Asura go to Black Cloud Academy now, the day would be over."

"However, all that’s needed is for the boy to pass the test."

"If that boy can bring out the Sword Emperor Origin, it’s proof he has passed the test—the only concern being that he is safe."

"Then..." Chengfeng Hall Master puzzledly asked, "Hall Master, how should we handle it next?"

"Nonsense." The Master of the Main Hall coldly shouted, "Catch that boy quickly to inherit and take over."

Chengfeng Hall Master appeared bitter at the words, "He has long fled without a trace, you know how elusive he is, where can I catch him?"

...

Second update.
