Soul Emperor Martial God

Chapter 1634: Chapter 1634: Dragon Flame Backlash Completely Dissipated

Whoosh...

Xiao Yi’s figure darted towards the distant ghostly light.

Before he got close, an enormous creature had already appeared in front of him.

”Nine-Cold Ghost Python?”

Almost the moment the enormous creature appeared, Xiao Yi recognized the demon beast.

The incredibly intense aura emanating from the creature confirmed to Xiao Yi that his guess was correct.

The Nine-Cold Ghost Python, an absolute monstrosity among beasts, is a notoriously fierce beast yet extremely rare.

If Xiao Yi were at his peak, dealing with this Nine-Cold Ghost Python wouldn’t be a challenge.

But in his current state, how could he handle it?

”I don’t care.” Xiao Yi steeled his heart and acted in an instant.

Roar...

The Nine-Cold Ghost Python let out a furious roar.

As a supreme fierce beast, even in some of the large and dangerous areas known throughout the Central Region, it is an overlord-level demon beast.

And yet, a mere small lake, a human martial artist weak as if near death, dared to challenge it?

Roar...

With a roar from the Nine-Cold Ghost Python, streaks of white cold light surged forward.

Wherever it passed, the lake water froze over.

Xiao Yi remained unmoved; what he needed most now was this extreme cold.

The lake water froze all along the way.

With the strength of the Nine-Cold Ghost Python, even a supreme expert would end up frozen under its breath at the bottom of this lake.

Yet, when its breath completely approached Xiao Yi, it was instantly melted away.

”Comfortable.” Xiao Yi couldn’t help but exhale a long breath.

As expected of the Nine-Cold Ghost Python, a peerless demon beast, its icy breath was indeed exceptionally freezing.

However, even this cold aura could not entirely offset the intense heat within Xiao Yi.

Whoosh...

Xiao Yi’s figure swiftly advanced.

In the water, he resembled a ”water arrow” that flashed by.

Xiao Yi’s hand instantly laid upon the giant and fierce head of the Nine-Cold Ghost Python.

Hiss...

And in just an instant.

The whole Nine-Cold Ghost Python was instantly reduced to ashes.

”So fierce.” Xiao Yi was startled.

A peerless demon beast, it was annihilated at a mere touch.

The death of the Nine-Cold Ghost Python also significantly relieved the burning sensation on Xiao Yi.

The Nine-Cold Ghost Python was a paragon among ice attribute demon beasts.

Its beast blood and inner core were treasured ice attribute treasures.

Whoosh...

Xiao Yi’s figure flickered, instantly diving into the ghostly light at the bottom of the lake.

The Nine-Cold Ghost Python, though a supreme beast, was far from enough to completely ease the burning sensation afflicting Xiao Yi.

”Hiss.” Xiao Yi gasped at the sight of a massive pile of Cold Crystal Stones on the lakebed.

Cold Crystal Stones, though named stones, did not possess a stone-like appearance; they were entirely crystal clear, resembling gemstones, radiating ghostly light akin to white illusion light, beautiful and splendid.

Cold Crystal Stones were akin to Spirit Stones.

But Spirit Stones contained pure spiritual energy.

While Cold Crystal Stones contained pure ice attribute power.

”Absorb.” Xiao Yi hesitated not even a second before beginning to absorb.

No wonder even a supreme beast like the Nine-Cold Ghost Python existed within this small Demon Beast Lake.

Such a large pile of Cold Crystal Stones was nothing less than a great treasure trove for demon beasts.

If Xiao Yi could absorb them all, even with his enormous Qi Spring, it might allow him to advance several levels in his cultivation.

Yet, now he was under the backlash of the Dragon Flame.

These Cold Crystal Stones could only be used to mitigate the burning of the Dragon Flame, not to be absorbed into primordial power and cultivation.

...

A fortnight passed in the blink of an eye.

Inside a secret chamber in Six Dragon City.

Poison Robe looked at the Third Elder, asking indifferently, ”How is it?”

The Third Elder nodded.

”Heh heh.” Poison Robe let out a sinister laugh.

...

Outside the Six Dragon Territory, within a large lake.

At the lake bottom.

”Whew.” Xiao Yi exhaled a heavy breath.

The once vast swathes of Cold Crystal Stones had completely melted away.

Meanwhile, the intense heat within him had been partially neutralized.

The originally rampant primordial power in his body had stabilized.

However, his body remained thoroughly flushed with heat.

The Dragon Flame backlash within him was still not entirely eradicated.

Ultimately, the Dragon Flame backlash was truly fearsome.

The Dragon Flame itself was not something that could be wielded by human martial artists.

Years ago, Xiao Yi had borrowed the Dragon Flame to traverse through spatial turbulence.

Yet, that was merely a borrowing, achieved by unlocking the first seal of the Eight Dragons Burning Fire Furnace, to borrow just a trace.

But in the battle with Long Xiao half a month ago, Xiao Yi had fully mastered it.

Naturally, attempting to master the Dragon Flame brought severe consequences.

Originally, a trace of Dragon Flame shouldn’t have resulted in such dreadful backlash.

Yet, Xiao Yi forcibly integrated the Dragon Flame as the seventh mighty flame using the Nine Yang Reincarnation Technique.

It’s worth noting that the Nine Yang Reincarnation Technique was inherently a method to command flames.

His Purple Crystal Spirit Flame, Ten Realms Annihilation Fire, and other powerful flames could all form a reincarnation circle, coalescing into a ring around Xiao Yi’s wrist only after mastery.

Thus, when the Dragon Flame was incorporated into the Reincarnation Ring, it meant the flame was under Xiao Yi’s control.

And moreover, the trace of Dragon Flame surged to a level uncontested by the other six flames.

The surging Dragon Flame empowered Xiao Yi in the battle against Long Xiao.

Yet the subsequent backlash almost consumed and incinerated Xiao Yi.

”Whew.” Xiao Yi couldn’t help but exhale another heavy breath.

The Dragon Flame backlash within him was still not entirely removed.

Yet Xiao Yi no longer needed to worry.

Clang... At the bottom of the lake, an astounding sword hum suddenly echoed.

A sharp sword emanated a brilliant blue light, illuminating the entire lake bottom.

It was the Ice Phoenix Sword.

Previously, in his hazy consciousness and extreme rush, he had forgotten about the Ice Phoenix Sword.

When it came to the coldest items in the world, Xiao Yi had never seen anything that could surpass the Ice Phoenix Sword.

In fact, he had panicked; if he were truly near death, the Ice Phoenix Sword Soul within him would have triggered automatically.

A martial artist’s Martial Soul is bound to them for life from the moment of Awakening, accompanying them throughout existence.

Therefore, the Martial Soul would trigger automatically.

With the cold ice power of the Ice Phoenix Sword combined with Xiao Yi’s vast internal primordial power, defending against the Dragon Flame backlash shouldn’t be problematic.

However, the discovery of an enormous pile of Cold Crystal Stones at the lake bottom saved him significant effort.

Without this pile of Cold Crystal Stones, Xiao Yi wasn’t sure how much primordial power and Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures he would have had to expend to continuously invoke the cold ice aura of the Ice Phoenix Sword.

At this moment, the Ice Phoenix Sword coalesced into form.

Of course, it was not manipulating the power within the sword, merely coalescing the sword body.

Xiao Yi continuously infused primordial power into the sword; extreme cold emanated from the sword body.

As he activated the sword’s ice aura, Xiao Yi simultaneously gulped down elixirs.

Neutralizing the Dragon Flame backlash entirely required no small amount of cold aura; unsure if his internal primordial power would sustain, he naturally consumed copious elixirs to replenish it.

Hiss... hiss... hiss...

Threads of cold aura steadily seeped into Xiao Yi’s body.

That extreme cold, rapidly offset the burning sensation on Xiao Yi.

Its speed and efficacy far surpassed that of the Cold Crystal Stones.

...

The fifth update. (Explosion)
