Soul Emperor Martial God

Chapter 2174: Chapter 2171: Who Is the Soul Emperor of This Generation?

Swish...

The surrounding space power surged even more intensely.

As Elder Huoo spoke, he intensified the surrounding prohibition’s blockade.

The two conversed in the Holy Moon Sect Square, seeming without the slightest impropriety, yet none of their dialogue would ever be transmitted out.

”Indeed, it’s stepping into the Saint Sovereign Realm.” Xiao Yi’s eyes narrowed.

On that day of the great battle, he personally faced Beiyin Wuwei. Although he could not discern anything unusual, the martial artist’s intuition was indeed precise.

The sensation and judgment from direct confrontation couldn’t lie.

Today, hearing the answer from Elder Huoo, it turned out to be true.

Regarding this doubt, Xiao Yi had not asked the Eight Masters of the Main Hall before.

The reason being, during his conversations with the Eight Masters of the Main Hall these days, although only briefly, it was evident that the Eight Masters hadn’t noticed anything amiss.

In terms of strength and cultivation realm, Elder Huoo might not be as strong as the Eight Masters.

Regarding various secrets, Elder Huoo was also not as informed as the Eight Masters.

But when it comes to understanding martial arts, this top dean of the Central Region evidently holds greater authority.

Moreover, he has always known Elder Huoo as a respected elder whom he can trust, therefore he asks about this doubt now.

Xiao Yi organized his thoughts and said solemnly, ”During my battle with Beiyin Wuwei that day, he once used the technique of space escape.”

”Yet in my perception, he was indeed only a Supreme Realm cultivation aura.”

”It’s simple.” Before Xiao Yi could finish asking, Elder Huoo had already answered, ”Because the Time Dao is stronger than the Space Dao.”

”The Time Dao has its many special features.”

”One of which is that the Time Dao can directly control space; regardless of Beiyin Wuwei’s cultivation realm, even if he is merely in the Saint Emperor Realm, he can wield space techniques like a Saint Sovereign Realm.”

”Gasp.” Xiao Yi took a deep breath, ”Ignoring realm to directly wield space techniques?”

Elder Huoo chuckled, ”Xiao Yi, I remember telling you that when viewing things, one must look at their essence.”

”Essence?” Xiao Yi paused for a while, nodded, and said, ”I understand.”

”Saint Sovereign Realm martial artists can control space techniques because they have more than ten thousand complete martial arts and possess Heaven and Earth Resonance.”

Stepping into the Saint Sovereign Realm, having Heaven and Earth Resonance, then one can control space techniques.

More simply said, Heaven and Earth Resonance is the true reason why martial artists can wield space.

”Beiyin Wuwei’s Time Dao is extremely strong, even if his realm hasn’t reached, and the number of complete martial arts is insufficient, he can make up for these shortcomings with the strength of the Time Dao.”

”In other words, the Time Dao alone has an ability comparable to Heaven and Earth Resonance.”

”Thus, he can manipulate space anytime and anywhere, which is what they call possessing space techniques.”

”And this,” Xiao Yi paused and continued, ”is also why neither the Eight Masters nor all the martial artists present at the time found him to be a Saint Sovereign Realm expert despite watching him use space escape.”

”Correct.” Elder Huoo nodded, ”More crucially, the Time Dao has an excellent effect on shielding martial arts trajectory, perception, and such.”

”Returning to the essence, the Time Dao is incredibly strong, terrifyingly so.”

”It can even accomplish many things other martial arts cannot.”

”Thus, he can conceal very well, fooling everyone.”

”Coupled with his rumored wasted martial constitution, naturally, no one suspects him in the slightest.”

Elder Huoo looked serious and said, ”But he couldn’t deceive an old man like me, because I have seen my disciple personally use the Time Dao and know its martial arts trajectory and profoundness.”

As someone who truly experienced the Time Dao, and even saw it in person from the Soul Emperor.

Naturally, Elder Huoo could see through the nuances at a glance.

”How strong exactly is the Time Dao?” Xiao Yi asked solemnly again.

”Stronger than you imagine.” Elder Huoo replied solemnly, ”The so-called crossing-level battle is a joke before it.”

”Let’s take the simplest example.”

”The Space Dao has the capability of space retrospection; that is, a Saint Sovereign Realm martial artist can revert something that happened in a location to present before them.”

Xiao Yi nodded, he naturally knew of this ability.

Elder Huoo continued to explain, ”But this is merely the pure use of the Space Dao.”

”Its essence is that whether martial artists or all things, as long as they exist and move in this world, they will leave a trace.”

”These traces permeate the space trajectory.”

”Saint Sovereign Realm martial artists merely need to use space ability to reproduce these traces in reverse.”

”More simply put, the essence is the trajectory.”

”Countless trajectories reconstructed create images, leading to the so-called space retrospection.”

”However, if the space within this range has been destroyed or altered, the trajectories will be disturbed, causing the failure of space retrospection.”

Xiao Yi nodded, ”Just like certain space formations.”

”Like when I was trapped in the Blood Moon Formation half a year ago, afterwards the formation shattered, but the space trajectory there was affected.”

”Thus, even top figures like the Asura Hall Master couldn’t use space retrospection to see what happened inside nor truly know my fate.”

”Moreover, there are some special perilous grounds where space trajectories are unusual to begin with.”

”Like the Forbidden Spirit Sacred Mountain.”

”Smart.” Elder Huoo smiled broadly, ”Therefore, though powerful, space retrospection has many restrictions.”

”But.” Elder Huoo’s expression grew heavy again, ”The Time Dao is completely unrestricted.”

”It is the truly genuine space retrospection, no, rather it’s time retrospection.”

”Anything that happened in this world cannot escape time retrospection.”

”Now you can imagine how powerful the Time Dao is.”

”One last question.” Xiao Yi nodded and continued, ”Since the Time Dao is a heavenly Dao, also renowned as the martial arts only the Soul Emperor can wield.”

”Then how did Beiyin Wuwei wield it? Could he be the current Soul Emperor?”

”No.” Elder Huoo shook his head, ”I can only answer the latter part of your question.”

”He is not the current Soul Emperor, his Martial Soul level isn’t sufficient.”

”Of course, I don’t know what his Martial Soul is, but if the Soul Emperor were to appear, even if not fully grown, it would impose clear pressure on nearby martial artists.”

”That is the pressure brought by the Martial Soul, or rather, the pressure from the Heaven and Earth Rules induced by the strongest martial soul of the era.”

”Beiyin Wuwei is far from reaching this level.”

”Moreover, once upon a time, I speculated whether you could be the current Soul Emperor.” Elder Huoo chuckled lightly.

”After all, the current Soul Emperor is destined to emerge from the most monstrous young generation of this era.”

”And you, are the most powerful monster among the young generation.”

”But facts have proven, you don’t qualify either, the pressure your Martial Soul exerts on me or other martial artists is far from enough.”

”Pressure, huh?” Xiao Yi pondered, nodding his head.

Elder Huoo added, ”Even if it’s your peak-level purple sword Martial Soul, emitting aura sharp enough to evoke a sense of danger even to someone at my level.”

”Its intrinsic pressure is also far from enough.”
