Soul Emperor Martial God

Chapter 867: Chapter 867: The End of Spiritual Intelligence

The Ice Phoenix Sword appeared as quickly as it disappeared.

The brilliant blue light was almost a mere flicker.

In just one second, Xiao Yi quickly let go, dispersing the Ice Phoenix Sword from his hand.

Even so, his hand that held the sword still felt a burst of icy pain.

Woosh... Woosh... Woosh...

At the moment Xiao Yi dissipated the Ice Phoenix Sword, his figure turned into an extreme flicker.

The entire Molten Magma Land had already transformed into an expanse of ice and snow.

The flowing molten lava instantly solidified.

Even the giant fiery body transformed into a huge and fierce ice sculpture.

Within a few breaths, Xiao Yi was already above the head of the giant ice sculpture.

There, in the head of the giant ice sculpture, a trace of spiritual intelligence was trembling incessantly, filled with panic.

”How... how is it possible... My sacred magma...”

The Fire Demon Spirit was not only terrified but also deeply incredulous with a hint of madness.

”No... it’s impossible, nothing can withstand my sacred magma power, nothing...”

”Nothing is impossible.” Xiao Yi’s eyes were cold, wasting no more time.

Inside him, only the last trace of Primordial Power remained.

A streak of purple flame gathered in his hand.

With a wave of his big hand, the purple flame enveloped the Fire Demon Spirit.

”No... impossible...” The Fire Demon Spirit remained in a state of incredulous madness.

But under the effects of the Purple Crystal Spirit Flame destroying everything and its terrifying high temperature, in just a moment, the whole spirit was burned into nothingness.

Crack... crack... crack...

With the dissipation of the spirit, the giant flaming body, no, the giant ice sculpture, shattered into pieces, scattering ice blocks everywhere.

In midair, Xiao Yi’s body fell powerlessly.

This was different from simply condensing the Ice Phoenix Sword and borrowing its sharpness.

Just now, the instant freeze of countless magma was due to the power within the Ice Phoenix Sword.

Even for a brief second, the backlash he suffered was exceedingly severe.

It was clearly visible that under his charred burn injuries, his limbs and chest were now covered with piercing Cold Frost.

The meridians inside his body were riddled with wounds from being frozen.

He realized that he had underestimated the power of the Ice Phoenix Sword.

As his Cultivation grew deeper, he could increasingly feel the immense power contained within the Ice Phoenix Sword.

The stronger his ability, the more impressive the power he could draw from it.

And, even though he was now at the Earth Extreme Peak, when mobilizing the power inside, the feeling of it being uncontrollable was no different than when he was at Mysterious Profundity or Mystic Breakthrough.

Previously, he thought that upon entering the Heavenly Extreme Realm, he would truly be able to glimpse the secrets inside the Ice Phoenix Sword.

But it now seemed far from enough.

He suddenly recalled what Duanmu Palace Master had said before, ”Do you really know the meaning behind the Purple Martial Soul?”

At the level of Duanmu Palace Master, even he said this with such gravity.

Then, to truly master the Ice Phoenix Sword, it might require reaching a realm beyond the Infinite Realm.

Xiao Yi shook his head, faintly smiled, and this proved again that his previous thought was correct.

The Ice Phoenix Sword was his greatest trump card all along.

Xiao Yi smiled proudly, forgetting that he was now severely injured and powerlessly falling through the air.

Thud... a heavy collision sounded.

Xiao Yi’s body fell straight onto the icy ground below.

”Hiss...” Xiao Yi gasped, almost crying out in pain.

Now, his whole body, every piece of intact skin.

The charred skin oozing black blood again hit the cold and hard ice surface, the feeling could only be imagined.

A flash of light appeared in Xiao Yi’s hand, and he quickly retrieved a handful of High-grade Elixirs from his Universe Ring and swallowed them down.

With his skills in refining, no matter how severe the injuries, as long as he wasn’t dead, he could heal himself.

...

In the distance, hundreds of miles away.

On the yellow giant ship, Tang Sha’s expression changed.

They couldn’t clearly see the battle there but could see the sudden ice and snow world, as well as the momentarily calmed battle.

”What’s going on, the battle seems to be over.” Tang Sha said in a deep voice.

”I’ll go take a look.”

”Tang Sha, the battle may have ended, but who knows what’s now happening there.” The Second Prince said displeasedly.

”If you want to go see, go die on your own, we’re not going with you.”

”Don’t worry.” Tang Sha said in a deep voice, ”You wait for me here, I’ll go take a look.”

”I’ll go too.” The woman in white standing at the bow of the white giant ship said coolly.

”No.” Tang Sha shook his head, cupping his hands, ”Friends from the Flower Sea Sect, please wait here.”

”Though the battle has stopped for now, we don’t know if it’s truly over.”

”If I go alone, even if the battle erupts again, I can retreat in time.”

The woman in white thought for a moment, nodded, and said, ”Alright, if... if that gentleman is in danger...”

”No, I believe Brother Xiao Yi.” Tang Sha said earnestly.

”Let’s hope so.” The woman in white said softly, ”If that gentleman is fortunately unharmed, please inform us promptly, as our Flower Sea Sect is adept in refining and healing, and we have many skilled Alchemists here.”

”Okay.” Tang Sha nodded, then his figure flashed, hastening back to the volcano.

With Tang Sha’s strength, the hundreds of miles took just a moment.

Even before arriving, from afar he already saw a shell-blackened man sitting cross-legged on the ice surface in a very sorry state.

”Hmm?” Tang Sha frowned, but the next second, his face lit up with joy.

Although Xiao Yi was presently in a wretched state, he could still recognize his silhouette.

”Brother Xiao Yi.”

Tang Sha quickly descended, arriving at Xiao Yi’s side.

”It’s great, you really are alive, what happened to that Fire Demon beast?” Tang Sha asked urgently.

”Never mind, let’s not worry about that now, while the battle is paused, let’s get out of here quickly.”

Tang Sha made as if to carry Xiao Yi.

”Hiss.” Xiao Yi gritted his teeth, with his body covered in injuries, even a touch felt like a needle prick.

”Don’t move, put me down.”

”That beast is dead, its spirit turned into nothingness.”

”Oh, really? Brother Xiao Yi, bear with it, I’ll get you out of here first, otherwise that beast might chase...” Tang Sha instinctively said, suddenly snapping back to reality.

”Wha... what, Brother Xiao Yi you said that beast’s spirit is already nothingness?”

”Yes.” Xiao Yi said irritably, ”Hurry up and put me down, I’m healing.”

Tang Sha, with a face of embarrassment, supported Xiao Yi to sit down cross-legged.

”Oh right, Brother Xiao Yi, seeing you’re so badly injured, how about I have the Flower Sea Sect...” Tang Sha intended to say to let the Alchemists from the Flower Sea Sect come over to help.

Unexpectedly, before he could finish speaking, he already saw Xiao Yi taking out handfuls of High-grade Elixirs and throwing them into his mouth.

”Gulp.” Tang Sha swallowed and said in shock, ”Brother Xiao Yi, are those handfuls you have of High-grade Elixirs or candies?”

”What do you think?” Xiao Yi rolled his eyes.

The Elixirs Xiao Yi consumed were of two types, one for healing, and the other for restoring Primordial Power.

After about an hour, Xiao Yi barely stabilized his injuries and also recovered some Primordial Power.

The skin on his body, weeping blackish blood, the wounds, and so on, were gradually healing at a visible speed.

Alchemists, as the most noble profession on the whole continent.

Simultaneously, it’s also one of the rarest professions, which is not without reason.

Especially high-grade Alchemists, with their powerful medical skills and miraculous Elixirs, almost grant Martial Artists a second life.
