Chapter 196: Chapter 195: The Retreat of the Beast Tide

Above the Demon Beast Forest.

A figure, swiftly flying through.

The figure was none other than Elder Yi.

In fact, he had already arrived half an hour ago.

The Sixth Elder had taken half a day to return to the Sky-splitting Sword Sect from the Eastern Desolate.

But it had taken Elder Yi only half an hour to rush from the Sword Sect to the Eastern Desolate.

He kept searching above the Demon Beast Forest.

Every time he encountered a Fire Rock Giant Beast or a Yin Wind Bat Demon, he would slay it with a burst of Sword Qi.

However, Xiao Yi’s trace was nowhere to be found.

He had almost flown across the entire Demon Beast Forest.

The Fire Rock Giant Beasts and Yin Wind Bat Demons, these Mystic Breakthrough Ninth Layer demon beasts that once dominated these woods,

were wiped out by him alone.

But each time, he cut open the body of a beast with hope,

and each time, he looked inside disappointedly, not finding Xiao Yi.

...

At the same time, outside Green Light City, countless demon beasts suddenly began to flee wildly.

It was as if some bond had been lifted from them.

They no longer wished to attack the city, rushing back into the Demon Beast Forest at great speed.

The human Martial Artists, at first stunned,

then erupted into resounding cheers.

The Beast Tide had finally retreated.

The battle could at last come to an end.

Little did they know that the person who truly ended it all was at that moment within the Demon Beast Forest, gravely injured and on the brink of death.

...

Whoosh whoosh whoosh...

The Third Elder and others, seeing the Beast Tide retreating, hastily flew into the Demon Beast Forest.

It wasn’t long before they found Elder Yi.

”Shiyi, how goes it, have you found Xiao Yi?” The Third Elder asked anxiously.

”No,” Elder Yi replied indifferently, shaking his head.

”I can’t sense his presence.”

The elders were shocked upon hearing this, ”Could it be, he has already been consumed by the Fire Rock Giant Beast, turned to ash?”

Elder Yi’s expression instantly turned cold.

Whoosh.

Elder Yi flew even higher into the sky.

Only when he could overlook the entire Demon Beast Forest did he stop rising.

He stretched out his hands, clenching them firmly.

Suddenly, Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy surged towards him.

Above the whole Demon Beast Forest, the Spiritual Energy ran wild.

Soon enough, an overwhelming wave of Spiritual Energy had completely enveloped the entire forest.

Inside the forest, countless demon beasts trembled under this formidable aura.

The Spiritual Energy covering the boundless forest seemed to transform into Elder Yi’s eyes.

Everything within the forest was in his view.

He saw it all.

The demon beasts fleeing desperately, birds resting on trees, fish swimming in the depths of rivers.

Even a tiny grain of sand.

All were within his gaze.

But Xiao Yi was nowhere to be seen.

”How could this be?” Elder Yi furrowed his brow.

Below, the six elders were suddenly alarmed.

”To forcibly control the entire boundless forest’s Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy for one’s own use.”

”Just how powerful has Shiyi become?” The Third Elder asked, astounded.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh...

The six of them instantly flew up high, joining Elder Yi.

”How is it?” The Third Elder asked.

Elder Yi shook his head again, ”The entire forest is under my perception, Xiao Yi’s figure is not there.”

The Third Elder suggested, ”Perhaps, Xiao Yi is inside the Fire Rock Giant Beast, and you can’t detect him?”

Elder Yi spoke solemnly, ”The Fire Rock Giant Beasts in the forest have been slain by me, he wasn’t found.”

”Heh,” the Sword Hall Elder chuckled, ”Perhaps, the lad has been swallowed by an even mightier demon beast, one you cannot detect, Shiyi.”

Elder Yi gave him a sharp glance, his voice cold, ”Not even an Earth Origin Ninth Layer demon beast could escape my perception.”

”Let alone the strongest demon beast in this forest is merely at Half-step Earth Element.”

The Sword Hall Elder chuckled again, ”Then that proves, the lad has already turned to ash under the molten lava within the Fire Rock Giant Beast.”

As soon as these words fell,

a burst of chillingly cold killing intent exploded from Elder Yi.

”Fourth Elder, shut your mouth,” rebuked the Third Elder.

Elder Yi’s indifferent eyes turned to the Third Elder and asked, ”Is it true as you said, that Xiao Yi was swallowed by the Fire Rock Giant Beast and then fled into the Demon Beast Forest?”

”It’s absolutely true,” the Third Elder nodded seriously.

”How could this be,” Elder Yi muttered to himself, not realizing that at that moment, his fists were clenched so tightly they cracked.

”What is it?” noticing his gesture, the Third Elder asked.

”He has a strand of my Sword Qi on him,” Elder Yi gritted his teeth, ”Now, I can’t even sense that Sword Qi.”

...

The Ten Realms Destruction Formation masked all signs of life within it.

But it was not just a simple masking.

More directly put, it should be considered part of the entire forest.

Not to speak of sensing, even if one were to look at it directly from outside the formation, they would see nothing at all.

One would see only air, or, to be precise, only the most ordinary of trees or grass.

Those green flames, that bizarre formation, had become completely one with the forest.

It couldn’t see, it could only touch.

That is to say, one had to personally traverse every corner of the boundless forest.

Only by stepping into this great formation oneself could one discover its existence.

But, if one really used this method,

with the vastness of this boundless forest, when would it ever be discovered?

...

Three days later, the elders had searched for three full days and nights.

They still hadn’t found Xiao Yi.

At this time, the Third Elder said, ”There’s no trace of Xiao Yi’s presence, nor the presence of the Sword Qi you left for him.”

”Perhaps, he really has already...”

The Third Elder did not continue, instead, he said, ”It’s been three days and three nights, Shiyi, let’s go.”

Elder Yi shook his head, his face complex, and continued to fly high above, searching on his own.

The other elders sighed and did not follow.

They seemed to have accepted that Xiao Yi was dead.

The Sword Hall Elder sneered, ”That kid is just at the Mysterious Profundity Realm,”

”In the belly of a Fire Rock Giant Beast with nine-layered power, after a full three and a half days, it would be strange if he hasn’t turned to ash.”

”Don’t talk anymore.” The Third Elder said in a heavy tone.

”The expression Shiyi had just now, I’ve only seen it twice in dozens of years.”

”Once, was when he first returned to the Sword Sect, and his temperament had drastically changed.”

”The other time, was just now.”

”Remember, when we return to the Sword Sect, it is strictly forbidden for disciples or anyone else to discuss this matter, violators, will be dealt with by the sect rules.”

After saying this, the group of elders flew away from the skies above the Demon Beast Forest.

They had given up, little did they know, Xiao Yi was still inside the Ten Realms Destruction Formation, gravely injured and on the verge of death.

Only Elder Yi continued the search.

...

Inside the Ten Realms Destruction Formation.

”Cough cough.” Xiao Yi struggled and gradually regained consciousness.

His situation was still very grim.

He had underestimated the backlash of the Boundary Shattering Fist.

The Boundary Shattering Fist was indeed powerful, but it was far from something he could use at his current level.

It wasn’t that Boundary Shattering Fist was stronger than the Peak Earth-rank Sea Covering Slash.

The two were not comparable.

It could only be said that the drop of Asura Power was too terrifying.

This type of power seemed to be something far more potent than True Qi.

His own body couldn’t withstand releasing it all at once.

His lips were dry and cracked.

His internal organs and flesh had suffered incredibly severe injuries.

If he didn’t receive treatment promptly, he would undoubtedly die from his wounds.

Inside the Ten Realms Destruction Formation, the Earth Element Golden Core was still maintaining the formation.

The formation isolated everything.

It prevented him from even absorbing the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy to heal himself.

Although the Black Robed Elder was dead, that Earth Element Golden Core, like an ownerless object without spiritual intelligence, was still fulfilling its ’mission.’

The Black Robed Elder’s control over the demon beasts was a malicious method, not part of the Ten Realms Destruction Formation.

The Ten Realms Destruction Formation merely absorbed the Demon Beast Essence Blood Power and the Martial Artist Essence, transforming it into pure power to enhance Cultivation.

With the Black Robed Elder dead, the demon beasts naturally retreated.

But, the formation still existed, trapping Xiao Yi.

”Damn it.” Xiao Yi gritted his teeth.

He hadn’t expected his injuries to be so severe.

Actually, he hadn’t considered using Elder Yi’s Sword Qi before.

Simply put, he wasn’t sure.

He didn’t know what Cultivation level Elder Yi was.

If the Sword Qi couldn’t kill the Black Robed Elder,

and the Black Robed Elder became alert and swallowed the Earth Element Golden Core back,

he would definitely die.

Out of desperation, he could only pin his hopes on the more certain Boundary Shattering Fist.

Xiao Yi barely managed to take out his Qiankun Bag.

With trembling fingers, he took out the Heavenly Returning Pill, Life Spirit Pill, and other Healing Elixirs.

The pills entered his stomach, alleviating the injuries.

But it was only enough to keep him from dying so quickly.

To recover from his injuries was impossible.

Such near-collapse physical injuries required an immensely powerful force for repair.

”Unable to draw on the Spiritual Energy from outside, inside the formation, there’s only you left.” Xiao Yi’s bloodshot eyes stared at the Earth Element Golden Core.

”Absorb for me.” Xiao Yi silently commanded in his head, his mouth unable to utter a word.

The Ice Phoenix Sword Soul was barely conjured by him.

The Earth Element Golden Core contained all the Cultivation Power of an Earth Origin Realm Martial Artist.

He wasn’t sure if he could absorb something of this level.

He could only try.

With a roar,

Below the Earth Element Golden Core’s round and perfect exterior, the Golden Light radiated immensely powerful.

But, it couldn’t resist the absorption of the Ice Phoenix Sword at all.

A torrent of overwhelming power directly transferred through the Ice Phoenix Sword into Xiao Yi’s body.

Xiao Yi smiled.

”Ice Phoenix Sword, you’ve saved my life again.”

Xiao Yi’s heart relaxed, and he hastily mobilized the power to heal his severely injured body.

...
