Soul Emperor Martial God

Chapter 1792: Chapter 1792: The End of the Cave Mansion

”Disperse,” Xiao Yi shouted lowly, dissipating the sword intent in his eyes.

Now, the 18 restrictions within the main formation have been broken.

This means that the main formation has been defeated.

After countless millennia, the main formation that no one could ever solve has finally been broken.

And Xiao Yi roughly understood the purpose of this test within the main formation, as well as the reason the Ancient Emperor left this cave mansion.

The Demon Dao, something Xiao Yi had never heard of before.

But the Demon Dao truly exists in the world.

However, no one could ever discover it, nor comprehend its perception.

Yet, the Ancient Emperor, this Ancient First Emperor, who mastered countless methods, and was even proficient in Five Elements Restriction, Five Cultivation Methods, and the Heaven and Earth Four Forces, discovered this path.

The Demon Dao Restriction is the center of the 18 restrictions.

The other 17 restrictions can be considered auxiliary restrictions.

The reason why the Medicine Dao Restriction is the most difficult among the 17 is because the fusion of Medicine Dao with Extreme Body Cultivation gives birth to a Demon Dao far stronger than any other form of fusion.

The Medicine Dao seems unremarkable; in normal circumstances, an Alchemist’s attack methods aren’t strong.

But here, the Medicine Dao Restriction is actually the most difficult path.

On another note, the Sword Dao Restriction is the weakest and easiest among the 17 restrictions.

But it seems easy.

In reality, the fusion of Sword Dao with Extreme Body Cultivation turns out to be the strongest, even surpassing the fusion of Medicine Dao with Extreme Body Cultivation.

The reason is simple.

Other forms of extremity, like Extreme Alchemist or Extreme Fire Daoist, don’t need to follow the path of slaughter.

But Extreme Sword Cultivation must.

”Demon Dao, huh,” Xiao Yi shook his head and rose to his feet.

This trip to the Ancient Emperor’s Tomb, without considering anything else, just knowing and comprehending this Demon Dao is already a huge gain.

The combat power unleashed by the Demon Dao is indeed terrifying.

However, he does not plan to delve deeply into it just yet.

This kind of Demon Dao, discovered by the Ancient Emperor, although he is qualified to cultivate it, is too complex and troublesome.

The fusion of two types of extremities is not something that can be achieved overnight.

The sensation of plunging into madness is something Xiao Yi doesn’t want to experience again for now.

At present, the most important thing is to continue exploring this Ancient Emperor’s Tomb.

Just now, having briefly entered the Demon Dao, he instantaneously slaughtered all demon beasts and puppets.

And those demon beasts and puppets did not reappear.

The reason being the 18 restrictions have been broken, and once those demon beasts and puppets are killed, they won’t appear again continuously.

Now that the main formation has broken, what else lies within this cave mansion?

Xiao Yi is unsure.

Moreover, indeed, within this cave mansion left by the Ancient Emperor, every restriction and test obviously serves a purpose.

And at the same time, every test has also offered clues.

Those Body Cultivation Puppets, wielding swords in one hand and controlling fire in the other.

That is a sign of the Demon Dao.

Following that, those Body Cultivation Puppets, as well as the demon beasts, their physical might was already immense.

After breaking the 15 restrictions, trials filled with yellow sand, rampant winds, and roaring lightning, and other restriction forces poured onto these demon beasts and puppets was also a manifestation of the Demon Dao.

Equal to Extreme Body Cultivation, plus another extreme path.

Of course, they were merely attempts.

Yes, attempts.

Based on Xiao Yi’s understanding of the Demon Dao Restriction, these puppets and demon beasts, being empowered with other extreme forces, couldn’t fully fuse the two kinds of extremes.

All these puppets, demon beasts, and methods were left by the Ancient Emperor.

Which means, even an Ancient Emperor as strong and mastering countless methods couldn’t perfectly fuse all these techniques into Extreme Body Cultivation.

The Ancient Emperor practiced the Demon Dao.

Clearly, he mastered Extreme Body Cultivation and perhaps successfully fused with a type or a few types of other extreme paths.

Such as Sword Dao and Fire Control Skill.

But saying all extreme paths could be fused? Absolutely impossible.

Five Elements Restriction, Five Cultivation Methods, Heaven and Earth Four Forces, the Ancient Emperor mastered all; but fusing them all into Extreme Body Cultivation? Xiao Yi absolutely doesn’t believe it.

To achieve this, likely only the legendary Martial God could!

So now that the main formation is broken, what lies ahead?

Xiao Yi slightly frowned but was full of anticipation.

He had already stood up, gazing at the Demon Dao Restriction Giant Gate ahead.

His footsteps moved slowly, beginning to step forward.

The 18 restrictions encompass different martial arts.

In fact, these restrictions had been triggered before all squad leaders entered the Ancient Emperor’s Mansion.

But which one exactly would be triggered is unknown.

Each squad leader would trigger a different one.

Previously, there were cases where 18 squad leaders entered the mansion all at once.

But even if all 18 restrictions were triggered simultaneously, the Demon Dao Restriction over here would be no exception.

Like before, Xiao Yi triggered the Medicine Dao Restriction, facing Medicine Dao tests, Medicine Dao corridors, and so forth.

If someone triggered the Demon Dao Restriction, they would only encounter ordinary martial tests, ordinary martial paths.

The Demon Dao Restriction, when triggered before the main formation, would only be ordinary martial tests.

Only in this main formation, after breaking the other 17 restrictions, would the Demon Dao Restriction truly activate its effect.

And only by breaking this 18th restriction can the main formation be broken, which is also the entrance deeper into the cave mansion.

As expected.

Stepping through the Demon Dao Restriction Giant Gate, Xiao Yi’s surroundings suddenly transformed.

”Swish...”

Having passed through the Demon Dao Restriction Giant Gate, the 18 giant gate restrictions behind had already vanished.

In their place was a solid wall.

And in front of him was an ancient room.

The room wasn’t large, at least compared to the previous enormous chambers and massive corridors.

Here, it seemed like just a plain ancient room.

But at the room’s end, an ordinary bed immediately made Xiao Yi realize this place wasn’t simple at all.

In front of the bed was a meditation mat.

This kind of scene was all too familiar to Xiao Yi.

Previously when he entered other ancient cave mansions, he had encountered such settings.

These places were invariably where the mansion’s owner meditated in their life.

This simple room was indeed the true resting place of the Ancient Emperor.

”The Ancient Emperor?” Xiao Yi lightly smiled, ”Or perhaps, should I call you senior?”

As Xiao Yi spoke, he bowed to the bed.

Although unrelated to the Ancient Emperor, this Martial Arts Emperor was someone nearly every martial artist revered and respected.

On the Flame Dragon Continent, strength commands respect.

This Ancient First Emperor naturally deserved Xiao Yi’s bow.

Besides, having benefited from many of his treasures, a gesture of respect is due from this younger generation.

But just as Xiao Yi bowed, a sudden, startlingly scorching flame aura surged overwhelmingly.

”Hmm?” Xiao Yi’s face changed.

Always cautious, he immediately sensed the terrifying killing intent within this flame aura.

”Not good.” Xiao Yi’s heart sank as he swiftly retreated.

But behind him was the wall, and his figure quickly shifted sideways.

A pair of Beast Hands and Beast Feet instantly formed.

Six of the world’s strongest flames erupted instantly.

...

Third update.
