Soul Emperor Martial God

Chapter 803: Chapter 803: Who is More Foolish?

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

Xiao Yi leaped towards the summit of the mountain.

Rolling molten lava surged down.

The scorching molten lava couldn’t hinder Xiao Yi’s steps in the slightest.

Instead, everywhere Xiao Yi passed, the lava was entirely frozen.

Xiao Yi ascended as if walking on flat land.

In just a short while, Xiao Yi reached the mountain summit.

Looking down from the summit, there was actually a gigantic volcanic crater beneath this towering mountain.

Xiao Yi surveyed his surroundings and pondered for a moment.

The entire Boiling Volcano was extremely vast, far surpassing the Wind Thunder Dangerous Land.

Since entering the Boiling Volcano, Xiao Yi had been moving forward, and judging by the distance, this should be the center of the entire Boiling Volcano.

In other words, this towering mountain was the center of the Boiling Volcano.

And this mountain was likely several hundred miles wide.

The width of just this volcanic crater was no less than a hundred miles.

The rolling molten lava below churned endlessly, containing a lava volume possibly a thousand times greater than any volcano here.

Bang... Bang... Bang...

In an instant, countless columns of molten lava erupted.

The power of the volcanic eruption was self-evident.

Especially considering the tremendous width and lava volume within this volcano.

”Ice Sky Splitting Slash.” Xiao Yi swung the Blizzard Sword heavily.

A terrifying blizzard ravaged the entire volcanic crater.

A thick layer of ice and snow instantly sealed the entire crater.

However, with a resounding boom.

The columns of magma fire easily pierced through the ice and snow.

The fierce impact even shot straight into the sky.

The terrifying heat instantaneously melted the extreme frost into ice water.

Subsequently, countless columns of molten lava rolled over, resembling the tail of a gigantic fire snake, fiercely sweeping towards Xiao Yi.

”These tricks alone can’t stop me.” Xiao Yi sneered.

Swoosh... Xiao Yi’s figure leaped directly into the volcano.

As he descended, he dodged the erupting molten lava.

The lower he descended, the waves of heat swept in continuously, becoming unbearable.

In just a moment, Xiao Yi reached the surface of the molten lava below.

His cold and proud body floated in midair.

At this moment, the surrounding lava suddenly calmed down.

The molten lava columns that had shot skyward slowly flowed down.

Xiao Yi glanced around, realizing this place was practically a molten magma world spanning several hundred miles.

Then, Xiao Yi looked beneath his feet.

The boiling lava, though appearing calm, still occasionally bubbled upwards.

Pop... Pop... Pop...

The constantly emerging bubbles felt like a fiery giant beast breathing underneath the lava, extremely eerie.

”Heh.” A mocking smile crossed Xiao Yi’s lips.

”I think I’ve come down. Even if I don’t invite you out, you’ll reveal yourself, won’t you?”

The mocking voice drifted in the tranquil molten magma world.

Gurgle... Gurgle...

A series of bubbling sounds, and a cluster of fiery red flames slowly emerged.

The shade of red in the flames was uncanny, somewhat demonic, and disturbing.

About a few meters in size, it floated in midair opposite Xiao Yi.

”Human, you have quite the nerve.”

An eerie, hoarse voice emanated from the fire group.

Xiao Yi’s expression suddenly changed, ”A powerful fire in the world with spiritual intelligence.”

He had always thought some cunning demon beast was behind the mischief.

Unexpectedly, it was a powerful fire with spiritual intelligence.

”Hehehe, what’s this, are you scared? Too late.” Laughter resounded from the fire group.

As the words fell.

The previously calm molten lava erupted violently again.

Countless columns of molten lava spewed forth instantly.

In a flash, the entire crater was enveloped and sealed by thick molten lava.

”Blocked the exit?” Xiao Yi looked up indifferently at the volcanic crater above.

”Hehehe.” The mocking laughter sounded again from the fire group.

”Young human, I knew people like you, so proud.”

”The more dangerous and bizarre the place, the more you want to venture in.”

”The more I block you, the stronger your curiosity grows.”

”When this curiosity and your arrogance reach the peak, you’ll lose your mind and charge in recklessly.”

”Just like you now, foolishly jumping into my world of magma.”

Xiao Yi’s face slightly changed, ”So cunning, adept at mind manipulation, your spiritual intelligence has existed for quite a while, hasn’t it?”

”Indeed.” The eerie red fire group, with a voice full of pride.

”However, whether it’s been a hundred years, a thousand, or several thousand, I’ve forgotten.”

”I just know that with a simple stratagem, you greedy, foolish humans will be at my mercy.”

Xiao Yi chuckled coldly, ”Like the martial artists from various forces around, worshipping you as the Holy Mountain?”

”Correct.” The red fire group let out a contemptuous laugh.

”Did you deliberately lure me down?” Xiao Yi inquired.

”Yes.” The red fire group boasted, ”Those fools outside seemed to fear you a lot.”

”Proving you’re strong.”

”A strong person like you is the most suitable as my nourishment.”

”I see, I understand.” Xiao Yi suddenly smiled.

”All these years, you’ve been guiding the martial artists of various forces around, worshipping you, offering you martial essence blood.”

”On the other hand, you’ve driven them to kill each other, continuing to provide you nourishment.”

”It is because of this that you’ve grown.”

The martial essence blood is the most vital thing for a martial artist, containing the majority of their cultivation and essence.

At first, martial artists from various forces willingly offered their essence blood.

Through the scorched land, the essence blood was transmitted into the towering mountain and absorbed by this flame.

Then, during the actual competition for the three Earth Core Flame Fruits, martial artists from different factions fought fiercely, inevitably resulting in casualties.

Moreover, considering the fierce eagerness of various sect forces for the Earth Core Flame Fruit, the casualties would definitely not be few.

The death of a martial artist would, on the contrary, allow the scorched land to absorb more essence blood, enabling this flame to grow faster.

Additionally, the so-called rule that only one Earth Core Flame Fruit could be seized by one person.

It was merely this flame giving weaker sect forces hope.

To prevent all three Earth Core Flame Fruits from being taken by the strongest forces.

This way, the fights for the fruits became more intense, with heavier casualties.

After saying this, Xiao Yi finished.

The red fire group let out a loud mocking laugh, ”Impressive, clever human.”

”However, you’re too clever; all three Earth Core Flame Fruits were taken by you, and my ’food’ was scared away by you.”

”So, I’ll have to use you as compensation.”

”I really want to see what your exceptional intelligence and that clever brain have inside.”

”Devouring you will make me wiser and make those fools easier to manipulate, right?”

”Huh? Intelligence?” Xiao Yi sneered, ”A mere intangible entity, daring to be so arrogant after just gaining some spiritual intelligence?”

”If you know I’m exceptionally intelligent, didn’t you consider that I wouldn’t be like those fools outside, easily lured down by you?”

”Hmm? What do you mean?” A voice of surprise and doubt came from the eerie fire group.

”What do you think?” Xiao Yi smiled mockingly, ”If I wasn’t confident, do you think I’d come here to die in vain?”

”From when you were always putting on airs and manipulating the martial artists of the great forces outside, I knew your power wasn’t too strong.”

”Otherwise, why bother manipulating when you could slaughter wantonly?”

”Among the hundreds of surrounding forces, just some in the Heavenly Extreme Realm and a group at the Earth Extreme Peak, you were already apprehensive, not daring to show up, only putting on a mystic display.”

”How strong could your power really be?”

”You...” The voice in the eerie fire group showed a hint of disbelief.

”You knew all along that I was luring you down, knew I’d block the exit, and it was you luring me out?”

”Heh.” Xiao Yi chuckled coldly, ”Not too dumb after all.”
