Soul Emperor Martial God

"The closer you get to the Netherworld, the more you can feel the aura of the coldest place in this realm."

"The extreme cold seals everything outside the Netherworld."

In the distant snowstorm, Xiao Yi seemed unaware.

But the Ice Venerable’s Spiritual Consciousness from behind saw it clearly.

At this moment, Xiao Yi’s aura was slowly being frozen, along with the martial aura on him, showing signs of freezing.

Up ahead.

After several seconds, Xiao Yi felt it too.

His eyebrows, hair, and clothes were covered in layers of frost.

The blood in his body began to freeze slightly.

The cold had already invaded his body, even starting to freeze his limbs, bones, and internal organs, affecting even the Small World.

Just a few more seconds.

Within the Small World, the flow of Primordial Power halted; the originally inexhaustible Qi Spring instantly became a frozen, dead spring.

The complete Martial Arts carried within the Small World also began to freeze.

Xiao Yi squinted his eyes.

Bang...

In his hand, a flame suddenly appeared.

The flame was purple.

"Purple Crystal Spirit Flame? The most destructive and powerful flame in the world?" The Ice Venerable’s Spiritual Consciousness was startled.

And as a mass of flames continuously emerged from Xiao Yi, the Ice Venerable’s Spiritual Consciousness was filled with shock.

"Earth Vein Golden Fire? The most violent and powerful flame in the world?"

"Star Fire? The fastest meteor flame in the world?"

"Boiling Demon Fire... Ten Realms Annihilation Fire... Ice Netherworld Ghost Fire... This..."

Up ahead.

Xiao Yi was enveloped by flames of various formidable types.

In an instant, all the cold on his body vanished.

The terrifying heat brought him utmost warmth.

The blood, limbs, bones, and internal organs that were once frozen all returned to normal, even becoming somewhat scalding.

"Hmm?" Xiao Yi suddenly frowned.

Being a Fire Control Warrior, he was extremely sensitive to his own flames.

Just a moment ago, he had felt something was amiss.

The Netherworld cold had infiltrated his body, almost sealing everything inside the Small World.

Yet, in an instant, the ice within dissolved suddenly.

He couldn’t be mistaken, and he was not incorrect about his body’s control.

His flame’s eruption warmed his entire body from the outside in, removing the cold from his blood before entering to reach his internal organs.

The Small World should have been the final destination for his powerful flames.

But surprisingly, the ice in the Small World was the first to dissolve?

The feeling was as if the Netherworld cold, upon touching something within his Small World, began to dissolve automatically.

"An illusion?" Xiao Yi furrowed his brow.

The Netherworld cold here couldn’t even be resisted by Senior Ice Saint during his lifetime; he couldn’t believe something in his body could resist and even dissolve it so effortlessly.

Xiao Yi squinted his eyes, not thinking much of it, attributing it to his mental fatigue, possibly mistaken feelings.

Xiao Yi continued forward.

Suddenly, the path ahead became easier.

Yes, easier.

Xiao Yi moved forward, accelerating without showing any discomfort on his face.

Over him, six layers of Flame Barrier.

The incoming wind and snow were entirely blocked outside, not touching him at all.

Behind.

The Ice Venerable’s Spiritual Consciousness had already widened his eyes, filled with a certain... unexplainable confusion.

"Possessing six of the most extreme powerful flames in the world? Is this kid a monster?"

"Hmm, what’s going on?"

"Unaffected by storm and Netherworld?"

𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

"Something’s wrong; even multiple powerful flames in the world can’t block the cold deep in the Netherworld."

"The Netherworld is the source of the world’s cold, the ultimate yin-cold place, capable of sealing even heavenly power, let alone powerful flames in the world?"

"What on earth is going on?"

The Ice Venerable’s Spiritual Consciousness was full of confusion.

He found that the more he looked at Xiao Yi, the more he couldn’t understand him.

What kind of terrifying character had entered his Ice Venerate Hall today?

He possessed all the thoughts and memories of his original body, but he still couldn’t comprehend what was happening now?

A young man possessing six kinds of powerful flames was already astonishing to the extreme.

Now this young man was leisurely walking on the Netherworld Road, easily progressing?

Everything that was happening seemed far beyond this Old Monster’s understanding.

The Ice Venerable’s Spiritual Consciousness said no more, simply waiting.

Up ahead.

Xiao Yi walked briskly.

The surrounding stormy snow couldn’t even approach him, let alone hinder him.

The six layers of Flame Aura entirely isolated the wind, snow, and cold here.

"Indeed, powerful flames in the world are formidable." Xiao Yi smiled.

Swish... swish... swish... swish...

Xiao Yi’s speed suddenly surged.

In just two hours, he covered tens of thousands of miles.

Here, it’s already the end of the Netherworld Road.

He was now standing before the Ice Netherworld Ghost Fire.

"The end of the Netherworld is nothing after all." Xiao Yi smiled proudly.

The Netherworld Road was a grand challenge for anyone.

But he, Xiao Yi, had walked straight to the end.

For a Martial Artist, this feeling... it’s like the Martial Arts Dao they pursue, difficult to tread but with every step forward and every gain, a sense of achievement that words can’t describe.

The accomplishment earned through one’s efforts, step by step, might be one of the pleasures of the Martial Arts.

Of course, above all, the word ’strength’ is the most crucial harvest.

At this moment, Xiao Yi finally understood the Netherworld Road.

When he stood at the end of the Netherworld Road, he was suddenly enlightened.

"So this was the Ice Nether Sword Dao of Senior Ice Saint."

"This is the Ice Netherworld Dao, the extreme snowstorm world combined with the long road of the Netherworld Gate, the union of the two achieving the world’s only Ice Netherworld Dao."

"The extreme cold place, where it connects with the Netherworld aura, birthed this strange fire of the world, the Ice Netherworld Ghost Fire."

The Ice Netherworld Ghost Fire’s core was right before him.

"Ice and Fire Melt is not impossible."

"The Dao of mutual restraint cannot be integrated, but nothing is absolute."

"All things are interdependent yet also antagonistic; the principle of extremity reversal is that when two seemingly irreconcilable extremes reach their peak, they perfectly harmonize."

"The Ice Netherworld Ghost Fire is the best proof."

"I understand." Xiao Yi’s lips curled into a smile.

He finally accomplished his goal for coming to the Ice Emperor Palace this time.

Xiao Yi extended his hand to grasp the flame before him.

His eyes slowly closed, as he quietly comprehended.

After a while, Xiao Yi opened his eyes again, but did not retract his hand, only observing closely.

Time passed without knowing how long.

Xiao Yi just stood there, watching.

Time might have been an hour, or perhaps a day.

Suddenly...

A Flame Sword suddenly formed in Xiao Yi’s hand.

The sword body emitted a ghostly blue light with an icy white gleam inside.

"Ha." Xiao Yi shouted, slashing down with the sword.

This sword fell across the sky.

This sword marked the complete fusion of his Ice Sword Dao and flame path.

Boom...

A loud roar.

The Netherworld aura and endless snowstorm ahead were forcibly cleaved into a path across the sky.

...

Third update.

Today’s update is complete.
