Soul Emperor Martial God

Chapter 664: Chapter 664: Void Rift

”Break.”

Xiao Yi bellowed loudly, and a flash of light burst from his hand, causing the surrounding Purple Crystal Spirit Flame to surge up several times more intensely in an instant.

That was the amplifying effect of the Furious Flame Ring in his hand.

The Furious Flame Ring, also a top-grade Primordial Artifact, had an extremely astonishing effect on enhancing flames.

At the same time, an immense amount of Primordial Power from the Small World within Xiao Yi’s body poured out.

The Purple Flame within a dozen meters around him became even more solidified.

The terrifying temperature burnt through the floating light at a very rapid pace.

The power of the floating light was gradually consumed by the fire, finally dissolving into nothingness.

It wasn’t that he had the strength to surpass a Half-step Heavenly Extreme.

Rather, he could block and obliterate an attack that exceeded the Half-step Heavenly Extreme.

The formidable effect of the Purple Crystal Spirit Flame, with ample and sufficient power support, could exert unimaginable effects.

”Phew.” At this moment, Xiao Yi breathed a sigh of relief.

He glanced at the Blizzard Sword, thankful that the floating light was burnt away quickly enough; the sword body had only minor cracks, nothing too severe.

If nurtured for some time, it should be repairable.

Of course, now was not the time to think about these things.

Xiao Yi’s gaze looked ahead, his expression incredibly grave.

The floating lights emitted a series of rampant auras: destruction, rage, engulfment, and so on.

If he was not mistaken, the path ahead was surely like before—the further he went, the denser and more powerful the floating lights became.

The crucial question was, how much farther was it to the end?

If he couldn’t break through completely in ten days or half a month, his own danger would be imminent.

Xiao Yi stood in place, contemplating for a moment.

He calculated the protective items he carried with him, as well as the consumption rate of his internal Primordial Power.

He also considered how much Black Sea Essence he had left and how long he could hold on.

After a long moment, he made a decision.

He would continue to move forward.

But he would ensure that he still had more than half of his Black Sea Essence and Primordial Power remaining.

That way, even if the road ahead remained boundless and vague, he would still have the assurance to withdraw and retreat.

If it was clearly suicidal, he wouldn’t be foolish enough to continue.

He could only return to the Eastern Domain and wait until his Cultivation was higher before attempting this journey again.

Although he had to go to the Central Region and was eager to do so; but if his life was lost, all would be in vain.

Thinking this, Xiao Yi’s figure flashed, and he resumed his journey.

His speed was extremely fast, and with the Purple Flame upon him, he was like a purple streak of light.

Unfortunately, this purple streak of light was far less than the violent spatial turbulence surrounding him.

In both speed and aura, they were incomparable.

Whoosh...

The purple light streaked swiftly through the air; occasionally, it would collide with a spatial light.

This occasional collision was simply unavoidable.

But just like him, these spatial lights were also mindlessly shuttling through this shattered space.

Xiao Yi wouldn’t be so unlucky as to have every floating light charging towards him.

Thus, it seemed that he only occasionally collided with these spatial lights.

Now, the purple flames around a dozen meters of his surroundings were solid enough that these spatial lights were not as easily penetrating as the first time they had encountered them.

But Xiao Yi also couldn’t just wave his hand and extinguish these spatial lights.

When a spatial light came his way, the solid purple flames could defend and burn away its surface just a bit.

Barely able to slow down the speed of these lights slightly.

This provided Xiao Yi with some reaction time, and by moving forward rapidly, he managed to dodge them.

Continuing to move forward relentlessly.

Two hours later, Xiao Yi could not calculate how far he had flown.

But the one thing he could be sure of was that he was constantly progressing.

This shattered space stretched endlessly to the left and right, with no end in sight ahead.

That is to say, shuttling through it, there was absolutely no sense of direction to speak of.

If one’s sense of direction was slightly off, it was feared that one would take a wrong turn, change the direction of advance, and stray erratically.

Once this happened, one would completely lose their way in this boundless shattered space.

Xiao Yi dare not take the slightest carelessness; repeated close brushes with danger and countless life-and-death battles had given him an exceptionally keen intuition, and he continued straight ahead.

Time gradually passed, several more hours elapsed.

Ahead, the end still couldn’t be seen.

Xiao Yi’s complexion, aside from being solemn, was also unsightly.

The streaking lights around him were the true force of spatial fragmentation, powerful and dangerous.

Although it seemed as if he could keep traversing indefinitely, in reality, the Purple Crystal Spirit Flame was constantly burning away the streaking lights it encountered, being rapidly depleted every moment.

This meant that his internal Primordial Power was also being consumed at an alarmingly fast rate.

Xiao Yi gritted his teeth and swallowed a handful of Elixir.

This was not the first time he had ingested Elixir.

He had to ensure that his Primordial Power remained abundant at all times.

The next second, he leaped forward once again.

Time slowly passed, and most of the day was gone.

Counting it up, he had been moving forward in this place of rampant streaking lights for one day; and before that, he had flown for another day in the chaotic storm.

In other words, he had been flying in this chaotic spatial current for a full two days.

At this moment, his face was extremely unsightly.

He had swallowed large amounts of Elixir several times, and even, one hour ago, he once again ingested a large quantity of Black Sea Essence.

”I can only hold on for two more hours at most,” Xiao Yi said through gritted teeth.

His face was filled with reluctance as he gritted his teeth.

If he moved forward for another two hours and still couldn’t see an end ahead, he would have no choice but to turn back.

Reluctant as he was, he had no other options.

Two hours wasn’t a long time, and it passed in a flash.

But for Xiao Yi, this two-hour journey was excruciatingly difficult.

The further he went, the denser the streaking lights became, and the stronger their power.

It was clear that the area he was currently traversing had streaking lights that had entered another level altogether.

”There’s no way out,” Xiao Yi said, his face a picture of ugliness as he sighed.

Ahead, there was no sign of an end.

As far as the eye could see, it was endless.

The spatial streaking lights that constantly shuttled past, their mere aura already made his heart tremble immensely.

Had it not been for the solid protection of the Purple Crystal Spirit Flame, he would not dare to be so calm.

Of course, it was also fortunate that these streaking lights were erratically moving without consciousness, rather than attacking intentionally.

Otherwise, he probably would have died thousands and thousands of times by now.

Now, he had no choice but to retreat.

There wasn’t much Black Sea Essence or Elixir left on his body, but it should be enough for him to leave.

Thinking this, Xiao Yi’s face showed dejection and annoyance, and with reluctance, he turned around.

However, the moment he turned around, the scene before his eyes made him inhale sharply, his face dramatically changing.

Behind him, dark cracks had appeared out of nowhere.

From within these black cracks emitted a destructive aura even more dreadful than the streaking lights.

”Void Rifts?” Xiao Yi’s face turned deathly pale in an instant.

Swoosh...

Just then, a streaking light flew past the crack.

In just an instant, the streaking light froze.

Half of it disintegrated into nothingness at the edge of the crack; the other half was devoured, leaving no trace.

Xiao Yi gasped.

Void Rifts would only appear in a place where the spatial disruption was extremely severe, to the point of near nothingness.

Legend has it, they could devour everything, turning all to nothingness.

Even an Extreme Realm Expert would surely die if they fell into one.

Swoosh... Swoosh... Swoosh...

At that moment, dozens of spatial streaking lights passed through, and instantaneously, they turned into nothingness in front of the Void Rifts.

A terrifying suction force suddenly emerged.

All the streaking lights around could not resist and were drawn towards the Void Rifts.

”Damn it,” Xiao Yi bit down on his teeth.

The horrifying suction force began to draw in his body.

Taken by surprise, he could only quickly move forwards to flee.

This chaotic spatial current was clearly not a place where someone of the Heavenly Extreme Realm could safely traverse; it was a deathtrap even for ordinary Heavenly Extreme experts.
