Soul Emperor Martial God

Chapter 544: Chapter 544: Breakthrough, Blue Rank

”Phew.”

Xiao Yi sat down cross-legged, steadying the weak breath within his body.

After a moment, he exhaled a cloudy breath and stood up.

Just now, when he used the Skyfire Seal, it not only exhausted all his Primordial Power, but also consumed more than ninety percent of the power within the Furious Flame Ring.

However, this was not a big problem.

As a top-grade Elemental Artifact, the Furious Flame Ring would automatically absorb Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy after some time and slowly recover.

The Primordial Power within his body was the same.

With his Cultivation Realm intact, it would automatically recover gradually over time.

”Domain?” At this moment, Xiao Yi frowned as he looked at the body of the Cold Ice Palace Master.

Xiao Yi remembered that in the inheritance of the Skyfire Saint, this martial technique was defined in this way.

It briefly mentioned domains, but the details were rather vague.

Just now, when flames filled the area within a hundred meters around him,

that boundless and endless flame power left Xiao Yi feeling overwhelmed.

Xiao Yi even felt that within that range, he could dominate everything.

This martial technique, surpassing the Heavenly Rank Peak, was truly inconceivable.

Shaking his head, Xiao Yi no longer dwelled on it.

His gaze turned to the Wind Snow Compass held in the hands of the Cold Ice Palace Master’s corpse.

With a wave of his hand, he drew it towards himself.

Back then, the Wind Snow Sword Master acquired this object, but it was more of a curse than a blessing, bringing about his own death.

The Cold Ice Palace Master, despite his high position, did not hesitate to kill for treasure.

Xiao Yi examined the item carefully.

The compass, emitting an endless ancient aura.

On the very top, the words ’Heavenly Mechanism’ were engraved.

”Could it be the Heavenly Mechanism Sacred Plate?” Xiao Yi’s pupils constricted.

He touched the patterns on the compass, and then looked at the back side.

”It’s definitely the Heavenly Mechanism Sacred Plate,” Xiao Yi said with astonishment in his voice.

Xiao Yi had seen the description of this item in the ancient scrolls within the Main Hall of the Demon Hunting Hall.

Of course, being an Ancient artifact, it was separated by too long a time, so the descriptions in the records were not detailed.

It was known only that this object was the supreme treasure of Array Masters.

Array Master, Alchemist, and Soul Master were the three great professions in Ancient Times.

As time went by, only the Alchemist’s lineage remained to this day.

The other two professions, for some reason, had already been lost and vanished into the river of history.

The Soul Master, known for their eeriness, excelled in intangible tactics.

Array Masters, renowned for their formations, excelled in using profound formations to manipulate the power of Heaven and Earth.

The sun, moon, stars, mountains, rivers, and seas could all be used by their formations.

With a minor force, they could perform far beyond their own astonishing capabilities.

However, Array Masters had a fatal flaw.

That is, they needed to set up formations, then lure enemies into the formations before they could launch and kill with the Great Formation.

Setting up a formation required a considerable amount of time and valuable treasures.

This was nearly impossible in head-to-head combat, which is why they had to set up formations in advance and lure enemies into them.

This imposed many restrictions on Array Masters.

Of course, according to the records, back in Ancient Times, Array Masters were so feared that their reputation alone could intimidate people.

Some famous Array Masters were not to be trifled with.

”What a pity.” Xiao Yi shook his head.

Ancient Times must have been much more exciting than the present.

Xiao Yi couldn’t help but reveal a trace of longing.

True powerhouses always possess a heart yearning for that kind of dangerous yet rousing life.

But back to the matter at hand.

The Heavenly Mechanism Sacred Plate was considered a treasure of Array Masters.

Because the compass could have formations engraved on it, which could trigger the Great Formation at any time.

An Array Master carrying it was akin to carrying their own set Great Formation with them.

Needless to say, this showed how heaven-defying the object was, thus it was named the treasure of Array Masters.

The Cold Ice Palace Master had called this item the Wind Snow Compass, probably because he feared that the truly knowledgeable, upon hearing the words ’Heavenly Mechanism Sacred Plate,’ would bring unnecessary trouble.

Moreover, at this moment, the formation inscribed on the Heavenly Mechanism Sacred Plate was indeed the Wind Snow Formation.

Naming it the Wind Snow Compass was quite fitting.

Although the profession of Array Master had been lost, there were still a few simple and crude formations that some major powers had retained to this day.

The Wind Snow Formation was one of the lower-level ones.

If he wasn’t mistaken, this formation should be one that the Wind Snow Sword Master imprinted himself after acquiring the Heavenly Mechanism Sacred Plate.

According to Xiao Yi’s indication, the Sky-splitting Sword Sect still preserved several low-level formations.

The Wind Snow Formation was one of them.

Of course, although it was only a low-level formation, it was considered a treasured existence within the sect.

The Wind Snow Formation wasn’t particularly strong in itself, but under the amplification of the Heavenly Mechanism Sacred Plate, its power was extremely formidable.

Moreover, this place was the Extreme Cold Land, where the wind and snow were relentless all year round.

The Wind Snow Formation, in this place, was truly a tiger that had grown wings.

Even, given enough time and with the aid of the Heavenly Mechanism Sacred Plate, controlling the entire wind and snow power of the Extreme Cold Land wasn’t out of the question.

Another point was that there were numerous Ancient Relics in the Extreme Cold Land.

Of course, these relics were hidden in various barren lands, unknown to anyone.

But the Wind Snow Formation could point out and sense the exact locations of these relics through the Heavenly Mechanism Sacred Plate.

And, although there were strong barriers or Cave Mansion Restrictions within the relics,

If the Wind Snow Formation was powerful enough, it could easily break or even disregard these prohibitions.

Securing the treasures and inheritance within the relics would be a breeze.

No wonder the Cold Ice Palace Master was so ambitious.

Given enough time, perhaps all of this could indeed be realized.

”Sigh.” Xiao Yi took a deep breath.

Things had roughly become clear.

However, regarding the relics in the Extreme Cold Land, he had not the slightest interest.

Nor did he wish to waste his time.

Putting away the Heavenly Mechanism Sacred Plate, Xiao Yi turned his gaze towards the surrounding corpses.

The Cold Ice Palace Master, Everday Palace Master, Snow Blade Sect Master, Ice Martial Sect Leader...

The strong warriors from the Demon Hunting Hall’s Five Halls, one palace, one sect, and two teachings—all thousands of Martial Artists—were all dead.

Previously, the Everday Palace Master and others attempted to flee but were killed by Xiao Yi’s ”Skyfire Meteor.”

Although his primordial power had been exhausted just a moment ago.

But inside the Furious Flame Ring, there still remained some power, enough for him to use ”Skyfire Meteor” once more.

As a Heavenly Rank Peak Martial Technique obtained from the inheritance of the Skyfire Saint,

Its power was far superior to Furious Flame Slash.

That the Everday Palace Master and others couldn’t escape was within expectations.

By the way, the Cold Ice Palace Master and the others had originally set up multiple ambushes to deal with Qin Feiyang and his group.

However, they didn’t want any extraneous complications.

Therefore, long before, they had already sealed off a range of a thousand miles, driving away any unrelated Martial Artists.

Thus, this major battle did not affect any other Martial Artists.

The surroundings, although in complete disarray, didn’t have a single unrelated Martial Artist daring to see the excitement.

Of course, to be cautious, Xiao Yi still waved his hand mightily, setting up a layer of prohibition.

After setting the prohibition, Xiao Yi’s eyes suddenly changed.

The Taiyin and Taiyang Eyes consolidated and emerged.

From the ground, the Martial Soul Power from the thousands of corpses surged forth.

The Martial Souls of the Cold Ice Palace Master and Everday Palace Master were of Blue Peak Stage.

The Snow Blade Sect Master, Ice Flame Sect Leader, and Ice Martial Sect Leader were of Blue Rank.

And among the other corpses, there were even a dozen people who possessed Blue Rank.

The rest were almost uniformly above the Green Rank, with the weakest being at Green Peak.

It had to be said that the quality of Martial Artists in the Extreme Cold Land was indeed astonishing.

When all the Martial Soul Power was completely absorbed,

The Fire Control Beast Martial Soul in Xiao Yi’s Small World finally broke through, reaching the Blue Rank.

The color of the Ice Phoenix Sword Soul, which was already deep purple, deepened slightly.

However, these minor changes were almost negligible.

After everything was in order, Xiao Yi waved his hand mightily, drawing in all the Universe Rings and Qiankun Bags from the bodies of the Cold Ice Palace Master and the others.

Then, with a flash of his figure, he completely departed.

This time, the Demon Hunting Hall involved in the Extreme Cold Land, totaled five.

The Cold Ice Main Hall and the four auxiliary halls.

Among them, the Cold Ice Main Hall had its strong warriors fully emerge.

In the four auxiliary halls, only the Deacons and above Demon Hunters were involved, while the ordinary staff below Deacon did not appear here.

And there was one auxiliary hall that hadn’t participated in this battle.

Whether they were involved or if there were any who slipped through the net,

The details and investigation could be left to the Hall Master to send someone to handle.

Xiao Yi didn’t need to worry about it; he couldn’t be bothered to care either.

After all, what was left were just minor matters and miscellaneous tasks—it wasn’t necessary for him to be concerned.

The second update.
