Soul Emperor Martial God

Chapter 2266: Chapter 2262: Deadly Yet Unbreakable

In front of him, the ground was covered with white snow, and what he saw was filled with dense wind and snow.

Here, it was a cold white world.

But within this whiteness, there was also a hint of an obscure, dark glow.

Being in this place made one first feel an overwhelming sense of oppression.

That feeling of shortness of breath seemed to urgently need some explosive release.

Impatience, discomfort, pain, all needed to be endured.

Under constant endurance, one’s mind becomes more fragile, unbearable, even fatal.

The Ice Venerable’s Spiritual Consciousness looked at the proud yet painful figure 98 miles ahead, his face changing drastically.

He certainly knew how difficult it was to traverse this Wind Snow Netherworld Road.

He also knew the sensations and experiences at that distance, how intense it was.

The wind and snow on the Netherworld Road had a strong effect on attacking one’s spirit.

Even when he was in his prime, the Ice Venerable could only reach 100 miles before having to stop.

At that distance, the breath of wind and snow, combined with the Netherworld aura, could almost instantly collapse even his strong Dao Heart.

What about a young lad? One with only the First Layer of Saint Sovereign Realm cultivation?

Before, Xiao Yi appeared to move forward with eyes closed, seemingly without much obstruction, but who knew what kind of pressure he was enduring all along.

And this pressure soared instantly and erupted instantly when he reached 98 miles.

The Ice Venerable’s Spiritual Consciousness knew very well that Xiao Yi’s Dao Heart must have collapsed at this moment.

The painful, guilty, and nostalgic emotions on his handsome face showed that his mind had already been breached.

The invasion of the Netherworld wind and snow had engulfed him.

If this continued, Xiao Yi’s fate would be to be completely consumed by the Netherworld wind and snow.

At that moment, it would be irreparable.

On the Netherworld Road, traveling brings gains but surely comes at a cost.

In this world, nothing exists with only benefits and no drawbacks; everything has two sides, and nothing is absolute.

”Could it be that the person I’ve been waiting so eagerly for, so exceptional, is going to bury himself here?”

”Years ago, I couldn’t defy this sky, ending with both my body and last hope perishing today?”

Yes, exceptional.

For Xiao Yi to reach 98 miles at such a young age surpasses not only the 50-mile trial set by the Spiritual Sense but far beyond.

The Wind Snow Netherworld Road has a straightforward way of judging if a martial artist is exceptional.

Xiao Yi’s few hours of performance alone can prove his exceptional nature.

Had it been another Heavenly Talent or Monster, they would definitely fall short of his accomplishments.

In front.

Xiao Yi’s face was covered in cold sweat, and even in this icy atmosphere, his clothes were drenched.

With eyes closed, Xiao Yi’s mind was focused forward.

That old proud figure looked at him with a face full of resentment.

In this life, Xiao Yi had defeated countless enemies, provoked countless foes, and seen countless resentful gazes and hateful faces.

Yet, none of these enemies’ gazes or faces had ever stirred even a ripple in his heart or moved his expression.

Only the elderly man before him, now with such a resentful gaze, made him feel extreme discomfort instantly.

At this moment, a graceful figure suddenly appeared beside the old man.

”Young master, will you come with Yiyi?”

Her cute and charming face was also full of sorrow and sadness.

”Young master, don’t you want Yiyi anymore?”

”Rebellious disciple, aren’t you going?”

The two familiar voices echoed repeatedly in Xiao Yi’s ears.

Xiao Yi’s mind finally collapsed at this instant.

His steps finally moved forward.

”Alright.” Xiao Yi nodded.

In his heart, no matter what the cost, he absolutely did not want to see either of them show such sad expressions or the old man such reproachful intent.

Even if ahead lay the Netherworld, he would not hesitate.

Xiao Yi moved, stepping towards the two.

Behind.

The Ice Venerable’s Spiritual Consciousness watched Xiao Yi’s increasingly off-track figure, his gradually weakening aura, his face had already changed drastically.

”It’s over, it’s over.”

”This boy’s mind is completely trapped.”

”Leaving the straight path, once he’s in this endless snow, not even I can pull him back.”

In front.

Xiao Yi walked dazedly.

In his mind, he finally reached the two.

The two showed smiles, but those smiles were extremely bizarre.

The two nodded slightly, ”Come with us.”

After saying that, the two prepared to walk into the depths of the snow.

The depths of the snow were like a devouring cold vortex; once inside, there was no turning back.

The two took steps forward.

But Xiao Yi’s steps suddenly stopped.

”What is it?” the old man frowned and asked.

”Young master?” The silhouette asked.

The complexity on Xiao Yi’s face instantly turned into a bitter smile, ”Let’s stop here.”

”Young master has regrets? Afraid?” The silhouette asked sadly.

”Rebellious disciple, you...” the old man scolded.

Xiao Yi shook his head, his face calm, only a bitter smile remaining, ”In fact, from the start, I knew you were fake.”

”Hmm?” The two’s faces changed immediately.

Xiao Yi smiled bitterly, ”But even knowing you were fake, I still didn’t want to see you show any sorrow or sadness.”

”If I were all alone, with nothing binding me, I might have followed you.”

”But now, I have too many things to do.”

”There are still people waiting for me.”

Xiao Yi put away his bitter smile, turning it into a gentle smile, ”The Wind Snow Netherworld Road is indeed powerful, capable of revealing the softness I’ve buried deep inside, no, even that fatal weakness.”

”But what you don’t know is, though you are my fatal weakness, you are also my firmest conviction, unshakable.”

As his words fell, Xiao Yi’s mind became exceptionally stable again, his Sword Heart clear.

The two in front of him vanished instantly within the wind and snow.

Behind.

Originally anxious and even showing a defeated expression, the Ice Venerable’s Spiritual Consciousness suddenly widened his eyes.

In his view, Xiao Yi ahead suddenly closed his eyes, returning to the straight path, his weakened aura returning to normal.

”What’s with this boy?”

In front.

Xiao Yi closed his eyes, advancing straight again.

Within his mind, his eyes turned icy cold, staring at the surrounding wind and snow.

”I do miss them and long to see them.”

”But, I detest when people use what I dislike most to manipulate me, especially when concerning those two.”

”Wind Snow Netherworld Road? Ha.” Xiao Yi’s eyes turned completely indifferent.

”Today, I will trample you flat.”

As the words fell.

Whoosh... Xiao Yi’s forward speed suddenly surged.

Originally at 98 miles, in an instant he stepped into 99 miles, finally stopping at 100 miles.

Behind, the Ice Venerable’s Spiritual Consciousness widened his eyes, ”He reached 100 miles, this kid matched my progress.”

”Boy, you can stop now, come back quickly.”

In front, Xiao Yi did not turn back or stop, only indifferently spoke, ”Not enough yet.”
