Soul Emperor Martial God

Chapter 1974: Chapter 1974: The Greatest Trouble

Heavenly Mechanism Region.

In the high sky, a black streak of light crossed the sky at an astounding speed.

The streak of light was naturally Xiao Yi.

After breaking through the eighteen Cave Mansions, he first met with the Heavenly Mechanism Palace Master, then met Senior Luo and the Soul Hall Master.

Unfortunately, the Ten Thousand Poison Fruit he had been anticipating, he was unable to obtain as he had hoped.

This truly left him feeling disappointed.

Senior Luo’s words, ’I don’t need it anymore,’ directly refused him and reneged on the deal.

It seemed very much like a trick.

But was it really a trick?

Xiao Yi didn’t think so, and he wasn’t a fool.

Senior Luo was not an ordinary person, and that consistently cold face resembled a gaze that had already seen through all things in the world.

Such an old monster wouldn’t bother with such a pointless trickery on a young talent.

So, what was the reason?

He had already brought back fifteen Martial Arts Relics, yet the agreement was reneged.

Xiao Yi didn’t know the reason either.

But he was too lazy to think about it; the matter of the Ten Thousand Poison Fruit, he could only let go.

First, the Ten Thousand Poison Fruit was extremely rare, and probably only Senior Luo had one in the Central Region.

Secondly, if it required seeking Senior Luo to return it, Xiao Yi would rather give it up.

Senior Luo was definitely not a kind person.

Dealing with him was akin to skinning a tiger, extremely dangerous.

Moreover, there was the matter of the Soul Hall Master, which nearly cost him his life.

Overall, too much happened in this month and a half.

First, the meticulous guidance of the Heavenly Mechanism Palace Master for a month, then entering the Soul Calamity Secret Realm and Heavenly Soul Ancient Land, secluding, and more.

This month and a half, his gains were undeniably huge.

In terms of the Soul Master aspect, he reached the supreme peak level directly under the two treasure lands.

The Fire Control Beast also newly acquired Thunder Control Power.

As for formations, Xiao Yi was even more confident now.

Formations, mysterious and unfathomable.

Now, he could be considered an extremely strong Array Master.

A pile of Supreme Formations had already been mastered long ago.

And many Legendary Formations were also mastered under the guidance of the Heavenly Mechanism Palace Master.

The harvest was indeed enormous.

But no matter how great the harvest, he still planned to venture out.

For a Martial Artist, the fastest way to improve strength was ultimately experiencing the world, not working behind closed doors.

What he learned and gained this month and a half needed a process of digestion, and experience was the best method.

With his current strength, he could easily wander the Central Region.

With a body full of Poison Dao and Soul Master techniques, his bursting strength was just slightly less than his supreme peak cultivation when he emerged from the Ancient Emperor’s Tomb.

Most importantly, he now had even more life-preserving trump cards than before.

Ice Storm Devouring Soul, Soul Power Origin.

And his formations, especially the Thunder Dao Formation.

The last moment against Tu Qianqiu truly left even Xiao Yi amazed.

What surprised him the most was the Thunder Control Power from the Fire Control Beast.

Originally, his current body was devoid of Primordial Power, unable to condense the slightest Sword Qi or flame, let alone being inexperienced in Thunder Dao and the power of thunder and lightning.

But he could completely use formations and the help of Spirit Stones to set up the Thunder Dao Formation.

He could control the power of his own formation.

And the Fire Control Beast within him endowed him with Thunder Control Power, allowing him to indirectly manipulate the power of thunder and lightning within the formation.

Simply put, using external forces like the Thunder Dao Formation, he utilized the Fire Control Beast’s Thunder Control Ability.

Xiao Yi was amazed that the Six Dragons Sky Covering Formation, which consumed an entire High Grade Spirit Vein to set up, contained terrifying Thunder Dao Power that surpassed those at the Forty Thousand Dao level.

First, the immense power contained in an entire High Grade Spirit Vein was substantial.

Second, the Six Dragons Sky Covering Formation even surpassed ordinary ancient formations, and was one of the strongest Thunder Dao formations in the hands of the Heavenly Mechanism Palace Master—extremely powerful.

The immense thunder power produced was effortlessly controlled by the Fire Control Beast.

This truly surprised Xiao Yi.

He knew that even at his previous peak, he could not manipulate the same level of firepower so easily in Fire Control Skill.

This indicated that his newly acquired Thunder Control Ability unexpectedly surpassed his long-standing confident Fire Control capabilities all at once.

Xiao Yi even sensed that the current Thunder Control Ability hadn’t reached its limit and could achieve even higher levels.

Even controlling thunder power equivalent to Fifty Thousand Dao or Sixty Thousand Dao would be manageable.

A trace of astonishment flashed in Xiao Yi’s eyes.

He introspected the Fire Control Beast within the Small World, more precisely the horns.

The Thunder Control Ability derived from these horns far exceeded his expectations.

He always felt that after the Fire Control Beast gained these horns, it became significantly stronger.

This wasn’t just an upgrade in color grade, but seemingly a fundamental transformation.

Xiao Yi shook his head and stopped thinking.

Anyway, this Thunder Control Power became yet another formidable trump card and technique for him.

Inside the Universe Ring, there was still a High Grade Spirit Vein.

Before secluding, the Heavenly Mechanism Palace Master gave him two High Grade Spirit Veins, meant for exercising and carving formations with.

However, when Xiao Yi entered the seclusion room, he immediately took out the Heavenly Mechanism Sacred Plate.

Exercising and practicing formations on the Heavenly Mechanism Sacred Plate was much more effective than carving on High Grade Spirit Stones.

This was the reason he could comprehend that formation knowledge completely within a single day.

One of them had already been used in the battle against Tu Qianqiu, so only one remained now.

As long as he didn’t set up some extremely powerful formation, this remaining High Grade Spirit Vein would suffice for a long while.

...

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

Xiao Yi’s figure continuously flickered and sped through the high sky.

His speed had already peaked, and his eyes grew colder.

No matter how strong his Poison Dao and Thunder Dao were,

Sword Dao and Fire Dao were what he had been cultivating so far, and which he was more confident would take him further on the Martial Arts Dao.

Moreover, what is a Martial Artist without Primordial Power?

Though the Ten Thousand Poison Treasure Book overturned the entire cultivation system, and the strength it granted him now was not much less than his previous peak,

This was ultimately not a normal martial cultivation.

If he wanted to travel further on the Martial Arts Dao in the future, he would still need to recover.

He could ignore his appearance.

But this body, he must restore as soon as possible.

Originally, he hoped for the Ten Thousand Poison Fruit.

Now, since that is hopeless, he can only rely on himself.

The biggest problem with his current body lies not in its worn condition.

Xiao Yi had suffered from a damaged body before.

Going through spatial turbulence back then, his body was in as bad a condition as it is now.

If it were merely a damaged body, he had methods to repair it.

But the biggest trouble lies in the deadly poisons.

The overwhelming poison that erupted from the Poison Pill had already thoroughly integrated into his skin, meridians, bones, and internal organs, including the Small World.

In other words, he had become one with the overwhelming poison.
