Soul Emperor Martial God

Chapter 1484: Chapter 1484: Utter Defeat

On the Martial Arts Arena.

Ding Qiuyue and Zhuo Wanzong once again faced each other.

However, the competition has yet to begin.

The prior arguments, interventions, and the near outbreak of a battle have already turned the spectator seats into chaos.

Now the Lin Family, Qi Sect, and Artifact Sect are taking their seats again.

And the referee from the Lin Family, the Great Elder, once again makes a lengthy announcement about rules and other matters.

He speaks with a serious tone and stern expression.

On the other side.

Xiao Yi glanced at the Martial Arts Arena and then withdrew his gaze, looking towards Elder Yun Yuan and Hui Deacon.

With Lin Ye, the Domain Master, present, even Lin Xiao and the Two Sects Sect Master dare not act rashly, so Zhuo Wanzong wouldn’t dare make any trouble.

The upcoming contest is just a formality.

After all, the outcome is obvious.

At this moment, Xiao Yi watched Elder Yun Yuan and Hui Deacon.

He clearly noticed the somewhat inexplicably complex expressions on the faces of Elder Yun Yuan and Hui Deacon since Lin Ye appeared.

Xiao Yi frowned and asked, ”Brother Lin, has he truly lived for so many years?”

According to Elder Yun Yuan, throughout the entire Sword Domain, only the Ten Thousand Sword Stele Forest, which has existed for countless millions of years, is older than him.

So the years Brother Lin has lived must be terrifyingly long.

”Really?” Elder Yun Yuan, hearing Xiao Yi’s question, couldn’t help but ask back.

”How many years has it been since the Domain Master of the Sword Domain was replaced, even I don’t know.”

”But, probably the historical records of the Sword Domain don’t remember it anymore.”

”So long that almost everyone has forgotten the name ’Lin Ye’, only knowing there’s a legendary Sword Saint in the Sword Domain.”

”No one knows how profound this old monster’s Sword Dao attainment is, nor how many Sword Dao paths he has mastered.”

”Of course, the last time he appeared, who knows how many years ago it was.”

”A legend?” Xiao Yi was stunned.

Being called a legend proves he’s an old monster that only appears in history books.

”Can someone really live this long?” Xiao Yi couldn’t help swallowing hard.

Elder Yun Yuan immediately frowned, ”Really? I thought with your realm and strength, you wouldn’t have such questions.”

”He’s still young,” Hui Deacon interjected.

Elder Yun Yuan, upon hearing this, suddenly smiled self-deprecatingly, ”Yes, he’s still young, I almost forgot.”

Hui Deacon looked at Xiao Yi and smiled lightly, ”You’re still young, you’ve only lived for just over twenty years, so you don’t feel the flow of time.”

”But, looking across the Central Region, anyone at your level of strength has lived for hundreds of years.”

”You are a Martial Arts Monster; improving your cultivation and strength comes easily to you.”

”But, it stops here.” Elder Yun Yuan joined in.

”Your cultivation still has a lot of room for improvement; but when it comes to strength, at least the hurdles of Martial Arts Great Power or Supreme Expert will hold you back for a century.”

”I’m not worried about that.” Xiao Yi shrugged and smiled, ”I have confidence in cultivation; but I’m surprised that Brother Lin has lived so long.”

Elder Yun Yuan shook his head and said, ”When a Martial Artist enters the Earth Extreme Realm, they already receive traces of Heaven and Earth Martial Arts Power, making it easy to live for hundreds of years. Those with deeper cultivation live even longer.”

”And upon entering the Heavenly Extreme Realm, mastering the first complete Martial Arts path allows living for over a thousand years.”

”Not to mention the subsequent Infinite Realm, mastering 10 Martial Arts paths; and increasingly more Heaven and Earth Martial Arts Power in later realms.”

”For me and Hui, truly living for ten thousand years is easy.”

Hui Deacon smiled and said, ”I said, this young lad is still young.”

”When he truly encounters bottlenecks in the future, like other Martial Artists, he will retreat in year-long closures, when ten years pass in a blink, he will start to understand.”

In fact, whether it’s Xiao Yi’s strength, or his deeds, or his knowledge and abilities, everything is almost perfect in everyone’s eyes.

Perfect to the point of subconsciously forgetting that he is just a young person.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yi pouted.

His retreats mostly last only a few days, at most a few months.

But he understands what Elder Yun Yuan and Hui Deacon mean.

Martial Artists, upon entering the Earth Extreme Realm, experience a dramatic increase in lifespan due to traces of Heaven and Earth Martial Arts Power within them, allowing them to live for hundreds of years.

And after, as they master more Heaven and Earth Martial Arts Power, their lifespan naturally lengthens.

When they master all Heaven and Earth Martial Arts, it truly means they live as long as the heavens and earth; of course, only a Martial God can achieve this.

Even without reaching Martial God status; with every breakthrough a Martial Artist makes, mastering more Martial Arts, their lifespan continues to extend.

If Brother Lin indeed lived such an extended life, then how terrifying must his strength be?

No wonder he could send Lin Xiao, such an almost invincible Supreme Sword Cultivator, retreating with a single sword strike.

Martial Artists pursue their path on the Martial Arts Dao; seeking strength from realms as well as longevity in life.

Like the late Senior Xinghuan, who searched for countless years but never found the mysterious Star Illusion Fire.

The great limit came, yet failing to break through the last Martial Arts path; thus reaching the end of his lifespan, falling in obscurity.

”Whew.” Xiao Yi took a deep breath, calming his mind.

The next moment, he seriously looked at Elder Yun Yuan and Hui Deacon.

”Have the two of you ever interacted with Brother Lin? Or have a grudge?” Xiao Yi asked solemnly.

This was the reason Xiao Yi pursued these inquiries.

Because, he clearly noticed their peculiar expressions since Lin Ye’s appearance.

”Interacted, indeed we have.” Elder Yun Yuan nodded gravely.

”As for grudge, that isn’t accurate.” Hui Deacon shook his head.

The two looked at Xiao Yi, and could see through his intentions at a glance, saying, ”Since you want to know, we will tell you.”

”We were in obscurity for years because of him.”

”What?” Xiao Yi’s expression changed and he furrowed his brows.

Elder Yun Yuan sighed, ”That was the first time we encountered this old monster and also the first time we clashed.”

”Result.” Hui Deacon laughed bitterly, ”It was the defeat of us two Peak Sword Cultivators, quite thoroughly.”

The word ’thoroughly,’ was emphasized heavily by Hui Deacon.

”Enough, there’s no need to say more.”

Elder Yun Yuan nodded, silent.

Xiao Yi shook his head, as they didn’t want to elaborate, he couldn’t ask more.

At this moment, on the Martial Arts Arena, the Lin Family referee kept talking non-stop.

Xiao Yi twitched his face, if he remembered correctly, this Lin Family referee was repeating the rules from the first major competition between the two sects a few days ago.

Xiao Yi shook his head, ”This major competition between the two sects is quite troublesome and complicated.”

...

First Chapter of the day.
