Soul Emperor Martial God

Chapter 1538: Chapter 1538: Enhanced Fire Control Ability

The surroundings were littered with corpses.

Scarlet blood flowed over the ground; signs of fierce battles covered the entire Ten Thousand Sword Stele Forest.

The faces on the bodies mostly revealed fear and despair.

Xiao Yi couldn’t help but wonder, was his expression truly so terrifying during the slaughter earlier?

Xiao Yi shook his head and stopped thinking about it.

He suddenly closed his eyes, then opened them abruptly.

When he opened them, the pair of eyes that were originally clear and sharp had already changed.

Under the gaze of the Taiyin and Taiyang Eyes, invisible vortices appeared one after another out of thin air.

The vortices quickly absorbed the Martial Soul power of the surrounding corpses.

The Martial Souls of these thousands of Sword Cultivators, Xiao Yi had no intention of sparing.

Originally, his plan was to wait until he separated from Elder Yun Yuan and the other person, and then return alone to absorb them.

Martial Soul is the manifestation of the Heaven and Earth Rules.

The more profound the cultivation level of a martial artist, the harder it is for their Martial Soul to dissipate even after death.

Therefore, Xiao Yi is not worried.

But since unexpected changes occurred later, and he sensed a nameless expert watching him from behind, he had to flee millions of miles away, and then circle back to the Ten Thousand Sword Stele Forest here.

One minute later.

The Martial Soul power of the bodies on the ground had been completely absorbed.

It must be said, those Sword Cultivators who could come to the Sword Domain were by no means ordinary.

The Martial Soul of thousands of Sword Cultivators were almost all above Blue Peak Stage.

Purple Martial Souls accounted for the majority.

There were also quite a few who had Deep Purple Rank.

Additionally, there were a few Black Martial Souls.

Xiao Yi closed his eyes and dispersed the Taiyin and Taiyang Eyes, his eyes returning to normal.

Through introspection, the place within his Small World showed the Fire Control Beast bouncing around cutely, clearly somewhat excited.

”Will it breakthrough?” Xiao Yi squinted his eyes, somewhat anticipating.

However, after a dozen seconds.

The Fire Control Beast stopped its jumping, emitting a dense deep purple glow.

But it was also very clear that the breakthrough was still far from enough.

”Logically, there should be enough power.” Xiao Yi furrowed his brow.

Thousands of high-tier Martial Souls, including Deep Purple and Black ones, should be enough for a Purple Martial Soul to breakthrough.

Now that the Fire Control Beast didn’t break through, there was likely only one reason: the method and level of the breakthrough.

Generally, for martial artists, the second awakening of a Martial Soul requires increasingly higher tier of Martial Arts Saint Pill the more extraordinary the Heavenly Talent or Monster they are.

If the rank of the Martial Arts Saint Pill is too low, the failure rate would be significant.

Take, for instance, the eight Young Masters encountered at the Blood Light Cave Mansion; their Martial Souls should have originally been ordinary purple.

This tier of Heavenly Talents, though excellent, was not astonishingly exceptional.

The Martial Arts Saint Pill needed for their awakening would likely have been enough at the Supreme Expert level.

That means the Supreme Elder within their mansion or someone like the Master could help them breakthrough.

If a normal Peak of Saint Emperor Realm helped them breakthrough, their chances of failure would be very high.

Similarly, at Mo Youu’s level.

Clearly, Mo Youu’s talent far exceeds that of the Heavenly Talents of the Eighteen Mansions.

A monster who was famous in Central Region a dozen years ago, who suppressed the Five Great Academy Talents at a young age, was definitely one of the strongest Monsters of the present.

For his Martial Soul to awaken to the second level, if an ordinary Supreme Expert rank Martial Arts Saint Pill was used for him to breakthrough, the failure rate would be tremendous.

Therefore, Senior Luoo, who is a legendary figure of such a level, personally helped him with the breakthrough awakening.

Besides success rate, the tier and strength of the Martial Arts Saint Pill also determine the strength and perfection of the awakened Martial Soul.

The stronger the Martial Arts Saint Pill, the more it can help the Awakener awaken a more perfect and stronger Martial Soul.

If Xiao Yi guessed correctly, currently his Fire Control Beast is undoubtedly preparing for awakening in the most perfect manner with the help of the Taiyin and Taiyang Eyes.

Otherwise, it would absolutely be impossible for such enormous Martial Soul power to fail to allow it to breakthrough.

Still, what will the Fire Control Beast become after a perfect form breakthrough?

Xiao Yi’s heart inevitably held some quiet anticipation.

He possessed the counter-heavenly means of the Taiyin and Taiyang Eyes, essentially not needing others to help him awaken.

He only needed to absorb sufficient Martial Soul power.

This is also why Xiao Yi doesn’t return to the Main Hall for ’shelter’, he would rather venture outside for training.

”Hopefully I can breakthrough before entering the Ancient Emperor’s Tomb,” Xiao Yi muttered to himself.

Boom...

A mass of flame conjured in Xiao Yi’s hand, testing the current power of the Fire Control Beast.

Upon releasing the flames, the astonishing temperature and absolute control shocked Xiao Yi.

”So strong.” Xiao Yi’s body trembled.

Xiao Yi introspected once more.

There are a total of two Martial Souls within the Small World, one is the Fire Control Beast, the other is the Ice Phoenix Sword.

The Ice Phoenix Sword Soul’s rank is just purple.

But it’s unusually dense purple, distinctly dark.

This purple almost surpasses any purple Martial Soul in density.

Furthermore, the Ice Phoenix Sword is still in a damaged state.

Xiao Yi compared the two.

The deep purple of the Fire Control Beast still pales in comparison to the purple glow of the Ice Phoenix Sword.

But this is already darker than any other purple Martial Soul Xiao Yi has encountered.

Probably, within the Purple Rank Martial Souls, only the Ice Phoenix Sword might surpass the Fire Control Beast currently.

Purely based on Purple Rank Martial Souls, the Fire Control Beast could already crush other various purple Martial Souls.

Though not reaching black, it doesn’t match other black Martial Souls.

But the Fire Control Beast, as the weakest demon beast on Flame Dragon Continent, has no other ’traits’ except its pure Fire Control Specialization.

This specialization under the current deep purple rank is sufficient to grant Xiao Yi an exceptionally terrifying Fire Control Ability.

”Now that the Fire Control ability has greatly increased, perhaps...” Xiao Yi seemed to think of something and he suddenly smiled.

The Fire Control Beast’s further enhancement undoubtedly gave Xiao Yi much stronger Fire Control Ability than when he appeared with the identity of ’Yi Xiao’ previously.

Whoosh...

Xiao Yi changed into Purple Flame Fire Wings, the wings fluttered, and he soared away.

The Universe Ring and Qiankun Bag of thousands of Sword Cultivators were already taken by him before he left the Ten Thousand Sword Stele Forest with Elder Yun Yuan and the other person.

Hours later, Xiao Yi crossed the Sword Domain directly, and left the Sword Domain.

With the increased Fire Control Ability, his flying speed with the Purple Flame Fire Wings also significantly accelerated.

Within a short number of hours, he could easily fly across a vast region.

Outside the Sword Domain, within a certain region.

Xiao Yi casually landed atop a demon beast forest, then sought out a small mountain, carved out a cave, and entered.

Next, it’s time for cultivation.

The Ten Thousand Sword Stele Forest has already become a place of trouble; within the Sword Domain, following the fall of thousands of Sword Cultivators, surely much chaos will arise.

Therefore, Xiao Yi did not choose to cultivate within the Sword Domain.

Instead, he deliberately exited the Sword Domain to start cultivating in another region.

Whoosh... whoosh... whoosh...

Light flashed in Xiao Yi’s hand, and pieces of Cultivation Resources appeared out of thin air.

Among them, not few are Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures that are encountered once in a millennium; not few are perilous inner cores with immense power; and not few are Treasures containing pure strength.

Of course, the most eye-catching ones are none other than the Spirit Veins.
