Soul Emperor Martial God

Chapter 850: Chapter 850: Flying Sub-Saint Artifact

Rustle... Rustle... Rustle...

Below, the vast desert suddenly turned into a vortex of quicksand.

A young man stood at the center of the vortex; with a slight lift of his finger, the inner core of the giant beast, demon beast essence blood, as well as countless inner cores and essence blood from previously vanished sand snakes, all flew out from beneath the vortex.

The young man waved his hand, effortlessly storing them into a Qiankun Bag.

The next moment, the young man lifted his head, looking up at Xiao Yi in mid-air.

Whoosh...

The young man’s figure flickered and he appeared before Xiao Yi.

”Brother.” The young man gave a slight nod and greeted Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi nodded in acknowledgment, returning the gesture.

The young man was the first to speak, ”Brother, appearing in this region of ten thousand dangerous places, I suppose you are headed to the Central Region as well.”

”May I ask which territory’s Martial Artist you hail from?”

At this moment, the yellow giant ship from afar had approached.

”Who are you?” Xiao Yi frowned.

”Oh.” The young man chuckled, saying, ”We are Martial Artists from the Quicksand Territory.”

”I am Tang Sha, a disciple of the Sand Shadow Sect.”

As he spoke, the young man, Tang Sha, pointed to the corpse of the giant beast in the desert below.

”That is the Dune Snake Emperor; I injured it while leaving the Quicksand Territory.”

”Unfortunately, this wretched thing is so cunning that it escaped underground.”

”I chased it all the way here, narrowly cornering it at this place.”

”Luckily, brother you just now blocked this creature, giving me time to kill it.”

”Otherwise, this being a dangerous desert, once I appear, it would escape back into the desert, creating a hassle.”

”I see.” Xiao Yi nodded, saying, ”I am Xiao Yi from Wind Saint Territory.”

Xiao Yi knew of the Quicksand Territory.

It’s a region adjacent to Wind Saint Territory.

The strength, conditions, and overall competence of Martial Artists are similar to those at Wind Saint Territory.

And the Sand Shadow Sect is the largest sect in the Quicksand Territory.

Regarding the giant beast, the Dune Snake Emperor.

Xiao Yi initially felt puzzled, but hearing the name now, it became clear.

The Dune Snake Emperor is a type of Sand Snake Demon Beast.

Its appearance and form are no different from a sand snake; however, it’s larger, stronger, and fiercer.

It is the sovereign demon beast among sand snakes.

However, such demon beasts are extremely rare and treasured, being one of the rarest demon beasts with the sand attribute.

In the dangerous desert, sand snakes are considered among the most perilous demon beasts.

Cunning, bloodthirsty, adept at hiding in the sand.

Moreover, sand snakes favor living in groups, often numbering over ten thousand; and among these tens of thousands of sand snakes, there will be one Sand Snake King.

The Sand Snake King typically falls within the category of Seventh-level Demon Beast; some stronger ones reach Level 8 Demon Beast, which is the Earth Extreme Realm strength.

One Sand Snake King, over ten thousand sand snakes, constitutes a snake clan entrenched in the dangerous desert.

And among these various dangerous deserts, or clans, only about several dozen clans might give rise to a singular Dune Snake Emperor.

Thus, one can imagine the rarity of the Dune Snake Emperor.

Therefore, when Xiao Yi initially encountered this giant beast, he did not recognize it as the Dune Snake Emperor, mistaking it for a common Sand Snake King.

He even wondered about the strength of the giant beast during the encounter.

Now hearing its name, realization dawned.

Additionally, the Dune Snake Emperor has a very high growth potential.

Presumably, this Dune Snake Emperor was hunted all the way by Tang Sha, already harmed.

Afterward, the Dune Snake Emperor fled to this dangerous desert.

Meanwhile, Xiao Yi happened to fly overhead.

Xiao Yi flew with great momentum, clearly showing his unusual strength.

As he passed, ordinary demon beasts dared not provoke him.

The Dune Snake Emperor intended to devour Xiao Yi, using a Martial Artist’s powerful essence blood to heal its injuries.

Unfortunately, it crashed into an ’iron wall’, failed to devour Xiao Yi.

Instead, it was slain by the approaching Tang Sha.

At this moment, hearing Xiao Yi’s words, Tang Sha questioned, ”Wind Saint Territory, Xiao Yi?”

”Heh.” Tang Sha laughed, saying, ”Forgive me for being ignorant, but I have not heard of Brother Xiao Yi’s reputation.”

”May I ask which sect Brother Xiao Yi belongs to?”

Xiao Yi shook his head, saying, ”No sect, no school, Deacon of Asura Hall in Wind Saint Territory.”

”Ah, a Deacon from Asura Hall.” Tang Sha smiled, ”No wonder when that wretched thing hit Brother Xiao Yi hard, you remained unscathed.”

”The physical strength of an Asura Warrior truly lives up to its name.”

Xiao Yi nodded, casting his gaze over the giant ship, observing closely.

On the ship, there were numerous Martial Artists; most were young warriors, with a few elders.

”This is a flying Sub-Saint Artifact.” Tang Sha noticed Xiao Yi’s gaze, explaining.

”The outstanding heavenly talents of our Quicksand Territory’s younger generation are about to journey together to the Central Region.”

”Since the journey is fraught with danger, traveling together ensures more safety.”

”Besides, having a Sub-Saint Artifact for protection greatly enhances safety.”

Xiao Yi nodded.

Whether it’s a Spiritual Artifact, a Primordial Artifact, or a Sub-Saint Artifact,

they all come in various classifications and serve different functions.

The flying type is among the rarer and more valuable types.

Like the ones Xiao Yi encountered before in Wind Saint Territory, those Wind Saint Guards with Iron Wind Wings.

Iron Wind Wings are flying type Primordial Artifacts.

As Sub-Saint Artifacts, their functionality is even stronger.

Such as the yellow giant ship before him, it is an earth-attribute Sub-Saint Artifact.

This type of Sub-Saint Artifact does not possess strong offensive capabilities but provides strong defense and flying speed.

Moreover, a guide can imprint their aura onto this type of Sub-Saint Artifact.

A Sub-Saint Artifact can autonomously connect with the rule power imprinted by the guide in heaven and earth.

The Martial Artists aboard only need to control the Sub-Saint Artifact to fly quickly.

Without needing to enter the Heavenly Extreme Realm to perceive the guide’s rule power.

This method, although good, is very expensive and lavish.

However, for Xiao Yi, it’s better to travel using his own method; he has already established a connection with the guide’s rule power, and he can never get lost in the ten thousand dangerous places, no matter what accident occurs.

If using a Sub-Saint Artifact for travel, once something goes wrong with the Sub-Saint Artifact, and the connection with the rule power is broken, that would be a hassle.

Of course, such a situation is almost impossible.

Let’s get back to the point.

”If there’s nothing else, I shall take my leave.” Xiao Yi nodded.

”Wait.” Tang Sha tried to persuade, ”Brother Xiao Yi, since you’re going to the Central Region anyway, why not come with us?”

”No need.” Xiao Yi shook his head, saying, ”Thanks for Brother Tang’s kind offer.”

”Hmm?” Tang Sha frowned, ”The speed of traveling with the Sub-Saint Artifact should be considerably faster than Brother Xiao Yi flying by himself.”

”Moreover, Brother Xiao Yi helped me kill this Dune Snake Emperor this time.”

”I, Tang Sha, am not accustomed to owing favors, so...”

”Tang Sha, why are you wasting words on him?” An impatient voice came from the ship.

The speaker was a prince dressed in lavish clothes.

”This Sub-Saint Artifact, we bought it together, at a great cost; why let some unrelated fellow aboard?”

”Besides.” The prince dressed in lavish clothes gave Xiao Yi a cold look, ”Tang Sha inviting you has given you enough face.”

”In Wind Saint Territory, the only one worth our respect is Lih Fengxing.”

”With your constant rejections, do you truly think you’re someone important?”

”Second Prince, you...” Tang Sha frowned.

Xiao Yi narrowed his eyes, shaking his head, looking at Tang Sha, ”I am accustomed to traveling alone, Brother Tang, appreciate your kindness.”

”Alright then.” Tang Sha nodded, saying, ”Since Brother Xiao Yi insists on an independent journey, I won’t continue to persuade.”

Saying this, Tang Sha’s hand flashed with light, taking out something, ”This is the map from our Quicksand Territory leading to the Central Region.”

”It marks some extremely dangerous places.”

”Brother Xiao Yi might find it useful.”

”This million mountains, ten thousand dangerous places, have many ancient terrifying monsters sleeping within them, Brother Xiao Yi, be cautious.”

”Hmm.” Xiao Yi took the map, offering thanks, ”Farewell.”

”Farewell.” Tang Sha nodded, ”Hope Brother Tang gets to see you in the Central Region.”

Xiao Yi smiled, nodded, his figure flickered, controlling the air to fly away.

...

Part One.
