Soul Emperor Martial God-Chapter 174 - 173: Mountain Shattering Slash, Part Two

No longer tormented by the Sword Intent, Xiao Yi could directly comprehend the contents inscribed on the Extreme Boundary Stele.

At this time, everything relied on an individual’s comprehension ability.

Unrelated to True Intent, unrelated to anything else.

Whether one could understand or thoroughly grasp it all depended on oneself.

In the previous month, Xiao Yi had been singing a tune of success, effortlessly comprehending up to the third layer.

Afterward, the speed of comprehension gradually slowed down. ƒrēenovelkiss.com

The deeper one delved into the Extreme Boundary Stele, the more profound the content became, and the greater the difficulty.

There are countless forms of Sword Dao.

Ruthless, sentimental, ghostly, domineering, light...

For every ten thousand Sword Dao Practitioners, there are ten thousand kinds of Sword Dao.

Of course, there are also those who understand several kinds, or even more.

But this predecessor, he had only one: Absolute Domination.

Pure, unadulterated domination.

And it was the most overpowering of them all.

His sword would never retreat, only ever pushing forward relentlessly.

His sword always exerted endless pressure on the opponent.

His sword could even collapse one’s will to fight from the sheer aura it emitted.

Domination taken to the extreme.

What he had realized throughout his life, his unique Sword Dao, would probably be the strongest among all Sword Daos.

...

Another half-month passed.

Xiao Yi had comprehended the Extreme Boundary Stele up to the fourth layer.

He became increasingly aware of how domineering the predecessor’s Sword Dao was.

It was enough to astonish him.

Indeed, Extreme Realm Martial Artists were terrifying.

...

Another half-month went by.

The Extreme Boundary Stele, comprehended up to the fifth layer.

At the same time, a familiar text appeared on the stele.

"The vastness of Mount Tai, my sword stands at the peak, a thousand-zhang high mountain, and with one strike, I shall break it."

A sense of absolute domination and awe-inspiring power surged through his heart.

"Mountain Shattering Slash?" Xiao Yi furrowed his brows.

He closed his eyes and continued to comprehend.

Several hours later.

Xiao Yi’s face changed, "Indeed, it’s the Mountain Shattering Slash."

Several more hours passed.

The Martial Arts knowledge he had comprehended grew more plentiful.

He already knew the content of the Upper Volume of Mountain Shattering Slash.

Continuing with his comprehension, he unexpectedly came across the Lower Volume of Mountain Shattering Slash.

The sense of domination and awe-inspiring power he felt was even more intense.

He could distinctly feel the terrifying notion of a thousand-zhang high mountain being destroyed instantaneously under that one sword strike.

In a short time, he had fully comprehended this Martial Technique—Mountain Shattering Slash.

Back when he was with the Xiao Family, he had obtained the Upper Volume and successfully cultivated it.

At that time, he speculated that the Martial Artist who created Mountain Shattering Slash must have been a towering figure of his time.

Now, it seemed his guess was correct.

It was indeed a creation of an Earth Extreme Realm Martial Artist.

At that time, without the Lower Volume, his regret was enormous.

Today, by a stroke of luck, he had found the creator and successfully comprehended it.

"This is the real Mountain Shattering Slash, classified as a High-level Earth Rank," Xiao Yi was extremely delighted.

The previous Mountain Shattering Slash was merely a Middle Xuan Rank.

But even then, Xiao Yi knew.

This Martial Technique was not simple; its true essence lay in the Lower Volume.

Now having fully comprehended it and capturing its essence, he possessed the true Mountain Shattering Slash, indeed a High-level Earth Rank Martial Technique.

A Martial Technique created by an Earth Extreme Realm Martial Artist could not be inferior.

Xiao Yi’s shortcoming had always been the lack of advanced martial techniques.

Now, that gap had been filled.

It was not difficult to imagine that once he finished his comprehension, his combat strength would inevitably rise to another level.

Incidentally, Asura Transformation and Boundary Shattering Fist were not Martial Techniques.

To use them, one must consume Asura Power.

And of that Asura Power, there was only a single drop.

Once exhausted, it couldn’t be used again.

Xiao Yi’s Qi Spring of three thousand three hundred and thirty-three Zhang, with such immense True Qi, only high-level Martial Arts could truly bring out this tremendous advantage.

...

Xiao Yi continued to comprehend.

As the saying goes, "In the mountains, there are no distinguishing sun and moon; one loses track of time while cultivating."

A month quietly passed.

Outside the Spiritual Barrier of the Extreme Boundary Stele was that pavilion.

Outside the pavilion was the Sword Hall.

At this moment, the Sword Hall was a scene of bustle.

No, to be correct, the entire Sky-splitting Sword Sect had become busy.

Disciples, even those who had been in reclusive training for a long time, immediately came out; even those who had been on journeys outside, immediately returned.

All because today was the day the grand competition of the entire Sky-splitting Sword Sect began.

The sect-wide competition, held every five years, although this time it was nine months early, was still one of the biggest events within the Sword Sect.

If one could stand out in it, one would indeed rise rapidly in the Sword Sect in the future.

And if one managed to secure a ranking at the forefront, the rewards were tantalizingly rich.

Because of this matter, in the Outer Sect Treasury, Elder Yi, who was rarely not reading at his desk, was now deeply in thought on his own.

"Three months have passed; why hasn’t that kid come out yet?"

"The sect-wide competition is about to begin."

At the same time, four figures came flying, controlling the air.

It was Lin Jin and his three companions.

"Greetings to Elder Yi, no, to Elder Shiyi," the four of them greeted respectfully.

"Dispense with the formalities." Elder Yi, unusually not calm, waved his hand irritably.

"Erm," Lin Jin and his companions exchanged glances.

Finally, it was Lin Jin who bravely asked, "Elder Shiyi, do you know where Xiao Yi is at this moment?"

"We have searched the entire Sky-splitting Sword Sect and still have not seen him."

Elder Yi said gravely, "He has other important matters; you need not ask further."

"The sect-wide competition is about to start, you go prepare on your own."

"Once he has finished handling matters, he will go there himself."

The matter of the Extreme Boundary Stele, Elder Yi could not possibly reveal.

The four were filled with disappointment.

"It sounds like Xiao Yi is being held up by something; I don’t know if he can make it back in time for the sect-wide competition."

Lin Jin said worriedly.

"Don’t worry, I have confidence in Brother Xiao Yi," Tie Niu said with a simple smile.

"It’s better if he doesn’t make it back in time," Liu Yanran said, her face full of coldness.

"If he doesn’t participate in the sect-wide competition, he won’t have the chance to face Guu Changkong."

"Three months have passed; I wonder to what extent Guu Changkong’s strength has reached now."

"With Guu Changkong’s ruthlessness, he will definitely play dirty."

Liu Yanran seemed to have already forgotten the sorrow and loss she had felt when she was drinking heavily that night three months ago.

"But, the overall assessment is three months from now," Qin Feiyang said.

"If Xiao Yi cannot participate in the preliminary assessment now, he won’t qualify for the overall assessment."

"Let it be," Lin Jin said, "Xiao Yi isn’t someone without judgment; he definitely has his own plans."

"Let’s head to the Martial Arts Arena first; maybe he is already there."

The four flew away on air.

...

Within the Spiritual Barrier of the Extreme Boundary Stele.

Xiao Yi was utterly unaware that a month had slipped by again since he began comprehending the Upper Volume of the Mountain Shattering Slash.

He was even more oblivious that the sect-wide competition had already started.

Because at that moment, he was completely absorbed in comprehension.

He had now comprehended the Extreme Boundary Stele to the Fifth Layer.

At the same time, a new Martial Technique was emerging on the stele.

Sea Covering Slash, a peak Earth-rank Martial Technique.

With one slash, an endless ocean surged in an instant.

Waves upon waves, following the sword’s path.

One wave could destroy mountains ten thousand Zhang tall; one wave could swallow boundless forests.

Countless giant waves, as if never ceasing, would eventually engulf the land.

Its dominance was even more extreme than the Mountain Shattering Slash.

Peak Earth-rank, only second to the existence of Heavenly Rank Martial Techniques.

How terrifying.

...

...

Third update. I always update late at night, sorry.
