Soul Emperor Martial God

Chapter 2078: Chapter 2078: Evil Vortex

Xiao Yi squinted his eyes, taking out a piece of Spirit Stone.

”Gather.” Xiao Yi whispered in his heart, attempting a One Thought Formation.

However, there was no response whatsoever from the Spirit Stone.

Xiao Yi took out a Holy Artifact.

Swish...

The Holy Artifact appeared in his hand out of thin air, but at the moment it was dim and completely useless.

Indeed, on the Forbidden Spirit Sacred Mountain, all external objects would be constrained and suppressed, unable to function.

Xiao Yi introspected, finding that within the Poison Realm of his body, the Poison Power and the Soul Power surrounding the two Martial Souls in the damaged Small World remained entirely unaffected.

Indeed, this was the Forbidden Spirit Sacred Mountain.

In this area, a Martial Artist could only mobilize things that uniquely belonged to himself, like his Cultivation, Primordial Power, and Martial Soul.

A Martial Artist could only exert his own strength; apart from this, any external objects or forces would be restricted here by the Heaven and Earth Power.

Xiao Yi certainly knew of the Forbidden Spirit Sacred Mountain; he had heard of it.

The reason it was a famous dueling ground was because of the peculiar nature of this sacred mountain.

No one knew how this sacred mountain was formed.

But it was certain that it was not man-made; it was truly born of the heavens and earth.

Because within this sacred mountain, there were no traces of any Martial Artist’s power.

Xiao Yi had seen this recorded in the annals of the Eight Palaces.

Of course, it was Xiao Yi’s first time coming here.

This Central Region, or rather this continent, was too vast.

So vast that even the strongest Martial Artist might not traverse every corner in a lifetime.

Here lay countless marvels, but also numerous death-traps and dangerous lands.

Simultaneously, there were countless strange places.

Some were special, some magnificent, some stunningly beautiful, and some awe-inspiring.

”A fair fight? Very well.” Xiao Yi nodded indifferently, putting away his Spirit Stone and Holy Artifact.

Little Evil Lord shook his head, Evil Power swirling in his hand like clouds.

”In fact, I don’t think you have any chance of winning.”

”In terms of real strength, you can’t compare to me.”

”I, from a young age, with the full nurture of the Evil Lord Mansion, have grown to this day; far beyond the likes of an overnight sensation. A Heavenly Talent like you cannot compare.”

”I can give you one last chance.” Little Evil Lord’s eyes sharpened.

”Join my Evil Lord Mansion, and I assure you, what you gain there will surpass what you could attain in the Heavenly Mechanism or Black Demon Three Palaces.”

”Once the number one Heavenly Talent of the Medicine Venerate Hall, Elder Tian Xie; the former successor of the Heavenly Mechanism Hall, Wuu Ling’er, all joined my Evil Lord Mansion without hesitation.”

”Understand why, and you should know.”

”My Evil Lord Mansion, stronger than the Eight Palaces, can take genuine Heavenly Talents and Monsters like you further on the Martial Arts Dao.”

”Further?” Xiao Yi sneered coldly.

”I think Elder Tian Xie and Wuu Ling’er made a very wrong decision.”

”Otherwise, they wouldn’t have silently perished, body perishing, Dao vanishing.”

”If they hadn’t joined your Evil Lord Mansion, maybe they’d still be doing well now.”

Little Evil Lord squinted, ”They were killed by you, I suppose...”

Xiao Yi interrupted coldly, ”Yes, I killed them, as all Evil Cultivators are my enemies.”

”Good, very good.” Little Evil Lord’s eyes turned icy cold, nodding.

He knew that Xiao Yi’s words were his answer.

”Then you shall die.” In the next second, Little Evil Lord struck instantly, erupting with speed.

A powerful palm strike came instantly.

Xiao Yi was prepared, and he launched a palm in response.

No matter when or where, he could instantly enter his best combat state.

Boom...

The collision of palms produced a violent roar.

The two forces, one of Poison Power, the other of Evil Power, both as black as water, were extremely terrifying.

The might of these forces caused dramatic shifts in the high-altitude clouds.

Miles of white clouds were suddenly turned into what seemed like densely packed dark clouds under the two forms of black as water power.

Was this really a battle capable of being unleashed by two young men?

Hiss...

A few breaths later, a trace of blood seeped from the corner of Xiao Yi’s mouth, leaking from beneath his mask.

But Little Evil Lord stood motionless, with a cold smile on his face, yet a hint of surprise in his eyes.

”Legendary Twenty Thousand Dao Cultivation.” Xiao Yi squinted, eyes filled with surprise.

Indeed, the intensity of the aura erupting from Little Evil Lord at this moment was definitely at the level of a Twenty Thousand Dao strongman.

If he guessed right, earlier in the Heavenly Sand Secret Realm, Little Evil Lord absorbed the cultivation of the Heavenly Sand Two Monsters through the Sand Devouring Pearl, and that breakthrough was when Little Evil Lord advanced from Legendary Ten Thousand Dao to Legendary Twenty Thousand Dao.

As far as Xiao Yi knew, from the moment a Martial Artist steps into the Legendary Ten Thousand Dao, the subsequent Twenty Thousand Dao is a formidable threshold.

Legendary Ten Thousand Dao and Legendary Twenty Thousand Dao represent the difference between newly entering and firmly establishing oneself in the Legendary Realm, manifesting legendary strength.

The disparity was astonishingly vast.

Therefore, under the current Legendary Twenty Thousand Dao cultivation of Little Evil Lord, just one palm had already injured Xiao Yi.

Little Evil Lord, gazing intently at Xiao Yi, also bore an expression of surprise, ”You have not entered the Legendary Realm, yet you can explode with strength above that?”

With his cultivation, he could instantly kill those Supreme peaks or those newly entering Legendary Ten Thousand Dao.

Yet now, Xiao Xun, clashing a palm with him, only came to be disadvantaged with a mouthful of blood?

”How do you know I haven’t entered Legendary?” Xiao Yi sneered, ”Or maybe your Evil Lord Mansion’s intelligence is mistaken?”

”How do I know?” Little Evil Lord sneered, eyes glinting with derision, ”You truly haven’t entered Legendary.”

”From the moment a Martial Artist steps into the Legendary Realm, the heaven and earth sense becomes extremely strong.”

”Between those in the Legendary Realm, there’s a strong sense too.”

”Even if you have means to conceal your aura, I could still sense a hint of it.”

In truth, Little Evil Lord had not been entirely sure that Xiao Yi hadn’t entered the Legendary Realm.

He had seen many powerful methods of concealing oneself.

But to conceal an aura as perfectly as Xiao Yi’s, with not the slightest hint leaking, was a sight he beheld for the first time.

Therefore, he even speculated whether Xiao Xun had managed to conceal the intense sensation emanated from the Legendary Realm.

But when Xiao Xun spoke those words, he was entirely convinced.

”Alas.” Xiao Yi thought to himself.

Originally, he intended to deceive this Little Evil Lord.

Though fighting with all might, his absolute power’s threshold was all within the inferences of Little Evil Lord’s intelligence.

Whereas he knew nothing about the threshold of Little Evil Lord’s power.

This would undoubtedly place him at an invisible disadvantage.

Yet, Xiao Yi never imagined that his words would instead lead Little Evil Lord to confirm the fact of his non-entry into the Legendary Realm.

On Little Evil Lord’s face, the confidence now grew more intense.

Knowing oneself and knowing the enemy leads to a hundred victories in a hundred battles, a principle as simple as that.

”Hmph.” Little Evil Lord snorted coldly, stepping back dozens of paces, the surging Evil Power in his hand suddenly swirling into a vortex.

”Evil Vortex.”

The moment the Evil Power vortex formed, Little Evil Lord slapped his hands forth again.

The Evil Power, inherently vast, was now concentrated again with the profoundness of this vortex, significantly increasing its force.

”This palm, you cannot withstand.” Confidence engulfed Little Evil Lord’s face.
