Soul Emperor Martial God-Chapter 646: Cultivating in the Cave

Flying all the way, Xiao Yi encountered no more obstacles.

After just a few hours, he had crossed the Ice and Snow County and left the Snowy Sacred Mountain, returning to the skies above the Extreme Cold Rift.

Thud... Thud...

Two muffled sounds echoed over the snowy ground.

The Flame Martial King and Bai Mohan heavily fell into the thick snow.

"Extreme Cold Rift?" Their faces drastically changed.

Feeling the chill of the fierce Gang Wind blowing continuously around them, a bone-piercing cold made them shiver uncontrollably.

"Xiao Yi, what do you intend to do?" the Flame Martial King asked with an intensity belying his inner trepidation.

Xiao Yi remained silent, simply walking to the edge of the rift to peer down.

Finally, he turned around to stare coldly at the two men.

"I went out of my way to bring you here from the East Sea Fortress, originally wanting to take your lives in front of Elder Yi."

"But the more I thought about it, the more I realized scum like you don’t deserve to disturb Elder Yi’s rest."

"So, die right here."

"Hm? Resting?" Bai Mohan’s brow furrowed, "Xiao Yi, are you saying that old fellow isn’t dead?"

"You’re seeking death," Xiao Yi’s eyes turned frosty.

The Blizzard Sword appeared out of nowhere in his hands.

"Ice Sky Splitting Slash," Xiao Yi uttered coldly.

At the tip of the sword, a terrifying blizzard abruptly took shape.

"Spare... spare us..." the Flame Martial King’s face showed panic.

"Don’t be foolish," Bai Mohan scoffed, "Both of us falling into his hands—death was certain from the start."

"We thought we’d outlive that old man, which wouldn’t have been too bad."

"Who would have thought he isn’t dead."

"But," Bai Mohan suddenly sneered, looking straight at Xiao Yi.

"Xiao Yi, your so-called ’resting’ is actually a sleep with no possibility of awakening, isn’t it?"

"The Flame Martial King’s full power punch, that old guy couldn’t block it."

"Moreover, with your current skills and abilities, if there had been any chance of the old man awakening, you would have revived him by now."

"But you can’t rescue him, and now you are angry, self-blaming, filled with resentment."

"It just proves one thing: you are useless, a waste, always a waste."

"Dammit," Xiao Yi cursed coldly, "Knowing full well you are about to die, yet you speak with such heart-piercing intent, hoping to imprint a Heart Demon within me."

"What a cunning Bai Mohan."

"Pure as paper on the surface, but black as ink inside, with a heart cold and venomous."

"However, all your tricks are nothing but a joke before me."

As the words fell, Xiao Yi wielded the Blizzard Sword with strength.

The terrible Sword Qi instantly dispersed a thousand meters of wind and snow around it.

The entire edge of the Extreme Cold Rift was in a raging blizzard, a tumultuous roar.

Once everything had quieted down,

only two icy corpses remained in the thick snow.

Xiao Yi’s face was expressionless, in truth, he could have tormented the two men for a while.

But he had no interest in wasting time on them.

His eyes suddenly changed, one cold, one blazing—the Taiyin and Taiyang Eyes.

With a flicker that passed in a moment,

the Martial Soul Power within the Flame Martial King and Bai Mohan was absorbed.

Both their Martial Souls were of the Blue Rank.

Now Xiao Yi’s Fire Control Beast Martial Soul was also a Blue Rank.

The color of the Martial Soul deepened slightly, but not noticeably.

Currently, absorbing Martial Souls below the Blue Rank was almost ineffective.

There was an effect to absorbing Blue Rank Martial Souls, but it wasn’t significant.

The gap between a Blue Rank Martial Soul and a Purple Martial Soul was huge.

To advance the Fire Control Beast to a Purple Martial Soul was uncertain how many Blue Rank Martial Souls would be needed.

The number was unpredictable, but it was sure to be no small amount.

"Hm?" Xiao Yi suddenly furrowed his brow slightly.

The Flame Martial King’s Martial Soul was absorbed, merely serving as ’nourishment’ for the Fire Control Beast Martial Soul’s advancement.

But Bai Mohan’s Martial Soul was somewhat strange.

Xiao Yi didn’t think much about it for the moment.

With a powerful slash of his Blizzard Sword, the ground was cleaved into a deep chasm, stirring up a sky full of wind and snow.

As the wind and snow fell, the crevice had already vanished.

Two icy corpses were thoroughly buried beneath the deep snow.

The once mighty Flame Martial King, and the former first heavenly talent of the Royal Capital, Bai Mohan, had perished completely, his body wrapped in the cold, desolate snow.

The next second, Xiao Yi turned around, his body leapt, and he jumped into the Extreme Cold Land.

He returned again to the cave.

There, a Cold Crystal Ice Coffin lay quietly on top of a forest of white bones.

Inside, an elderly man with a defiant face slept.

A rich life force rushed towards him.

That was the life force of the Ice Heart Holy Fruit, which Elder Yi had consumed to no effect, the energy had overflowed and was completely restrained by Xiao Yi within this place.

Beside the cave grew an Extreme Ice Sacred Lotus as tall as a person, holy, flawless, beautiful.

Next to it was a ’half-full’ spring of Cold Ice Marrow.

The entire cave was filled with a dense, pure power, evidently becoming a rare Cave Heaven Blessed Land.

Xiao Yi walked to the Ice Coffin and gave a deep bow.

Then he sensed around.

Elder Yi’s condition had not improved in the slightest.

Nor, of course, had it gotten any worse.

The situation was exactly the same as at the beginning, he was unconscious, with a trace of extremely weak life force remaining in his body, entrusted in the Great Freedom Sword Dao.

"Alas," Xiao Yi sighed.

Although his heart was heavy, he could only helplessly accept it.

"In a few days, I may need to make a lengthy journey, perhaps for a long time."

"Before that, let me keep you company for some time."

The Sixteen Flame Dragon Countries was too vast.

Xiao Yi did not know if the Demon Hunting Hall’s search mission would yield results.

If not, he would have to set out again and search on his own.

"Huh," Xiao Yi exhaled lightly and sat down cross-legged.

He just wanted to come specially to accompany Elder Yi.

But his cultivation would not be neglected.

With a flash of light in his hand, he took out a Universe Ring.

This was a reward from the East Sea Fortress, containing a large number of Demon Beast Cores.

However, there were only about a few hundred cores of Level 8 tier.

Among them, there were five Level 8 Peak cores, the rest were around Mid Stage Eighth Level.

Those five Level 8 Peak cores belonged to the Five Great Demon Kings.

If he wasn’t mistaken, the inner core of the Abyss Demon Emperor and the inner cores of the other Five Great Demon Kings should be the rewards for his other identity, Yi Xiao.

Those rewards were now in the hands of the Hall Master, waiting for him to retrieve them when he returned to the Royal Capital.

Xiao Yi took out the Eight Dragons Burning Fire Furnace and refined them one by one into Pure Elixirs.

The Elixirs were consumed and transformed into strands of Pure Element Power, replenishing his Qi Spring.

By the time the Elixirs were used up, his Cultivation had reached the Earth Extreme Second Layer Peak, just short of the Earth Extreme Third Layer.

The Five Great Demon Kings, although they were supremely strong in life.

But the inner cores left behind after death were only among Level 8 Inner Cores.

The Abyss Demon Emperor’s inner core was the same.

For Xiao Yi’s current Earth Extreme Realm cultivation, the Elixirs refined from Level 8 inner cores had a limited effect on his vast Qi Spring.

Meanwhile, in the Small World, all kinds of Martial Arts Power had reached two-ninths complete.

Two-parts Martial Arts Power, all solidified.

Nine-parts Martial Arts Power, dispersed.

He had run out of Cultivation Resources at hand, and his Martial Arts cultivation could only be put on hold for now.

Next up was the cultivation of Cultivation Techniques.

Among the rewards in the Universe Ring, there were also 100 drops of Black Sea Essence.

Strictly speaking, this was an additional reward given by the East Sea Fortress.

Previously, when the Divine Martial King learned that he had used 50 drops of Black Sea Essence in the great battle with the Demon Emperor,

he was given double compensation as a reward, that is, 100 drops.

But in fact, he also consumed 40 drops of Black Sea Essence when he battled the Demon Emperor as Yi Xiao.

He originally had 110 drops, used up 90 drops in the battle, and was left with 20 drops.

Now with the 100 drops rewarded by the Divine Martial King, he had a total of 120 drops.

Black Sea Essence was a precious treasure containing extreme cold power, perfectly suitable for cultivating the Ice Venerate Sacred Pattern Technique.
