Soul Emperor Martial God-Chapter 1451: Sword Power
In the sky, a streak of light flashed by.
It’s not hard to imagine, the speed of this streak of light is astonishingly fast.
The streak of light, of course, is Xiao Yi rushing on his journey.
After the battle with Ye Liu, he had been traveling at full speed, and had now left the Eighteen Mansions Territory, heading toward the Sword Domain.
Counting it up, there was still a little over a month until the time on the Sword Token.
Yet Xiao Yi was confident he could arrive on time.
However, after the battle with Ye Liu, even though he won, it was not an easy victory.
In fact, his growth rate has been extremely fast, at least in terms of strength.
But at the same time, this vast Central Region is also full of hidden talents, countless monsters.
So he had to consider whether his growth rate was still not fast enough.
This Central Region is filled with countless Heavenly Talents, with a number of Supreme monsters as well.
Ye Liu is one of them, but among them, there must be even more monstrous existences than him.
Even to the point of being terrifying existences.
Like the Young Master of the Evil Lord Mansion, or the number one Heavenly Talent in the Eighteen Mansions who has yet to make an appearance, or Mo Youu, and so on.
These monsters might have terrifying talents, terrifying abilities, or perhaps they are simply terrifying existences.
If he couldn’t even surpass these young prodigies, couldn’t stand above all the younger generation.
What will he use to challenge those ancient powers?
And what will he use to contend with those Old Monsters?
If he had enough time, he wouldn’t fear them, but he doesn’t.
He’s unlike other Heavenly Talents who have great power backing them.
All he has is just himself and his sword.
"I’ve pushed my growth rate to the limit, but is it still not enough?" As Xiao Yi flew rapidly, he gritted his teeth.
"If relying solely on my growth isn’t enough, then I need to gain more opportunities."
"Sword Domain, don’t let me down."
Xiao Yi’s eyes sharpened as he increased his flying speed.
...
A month later.
Whoosh...
A streak of light suddenly descended from the sky.
A figure effortlessly dissipated the wind force and gracefully landed.
"Sword Domain, I’ve arrived." Xiao Yi smiled confidently.
Sword Domain is just another region, but it is extremely distant from the Eighteen Mansions Territory.
In terms of distance, it might be far more than hundreds of regions away.
Even a Martial Arts Emperor, traveling at full speed, would take more than two months.
Yet Xiao Yi arrived in just over a month.
This was naturally because he relied on the technique of Starlight Descent to maximize his speed throughout the journey.
With ninety-four thousand starlights empowering him, his power was already extremely close to Great Power in martial arts.
Naturally, his journey was also very swift.
"Hoo." At this moment, Xiao Yi took a deep breath.
Although this was within the Sword Domain, it was still only the fringe area.
The grand event in the Sword Domain was not held here.
However, calculating the time, there were still several days until the event began.
If he were to continue traveling at full speed, he could reach it in less than a day, so he wasn’t in a hurry.
"Hoo." Xiao Yi took another deep breath and then sat down cross-legged.
Sword Domain is a famous region in the Central Region.
The place he landed in was a Demon Beast Forest.
The reason he sat cross-legged was because he needed to meditate and cultivate for a while, as well as rest for a bit.
Indeed, rest.
Traveling at full speed to the Sword Domain wasn’t easy for him.
The main reason was that he had been traveling by unleashing the power of ninety-four thousand starlights the whole way.
After all, this is a technique from Star Illusion Swordsmanship.
Maintaining this state always consumes a lot of Primordial Power.
Previously in the Eighteen Mansions Territory, at most a few regions, or a dozen or so regions’ distances, traveling at full speed was manageable.
But over this month, crossing over a hundred regions at full speed without resting to recover Primordial Power was quite taxing.
"Rest for a day, then head to the Ten Thousand Sword Stele Forest." Xiao Yi murmured to himself, then completely closed his eyes, meditating cross-legged.
The Ten Thousand Sword Stele Forest is a Holy Land of the Sword Domain.
The grand Sword Cultivator event was to be held there.
Two hours later.
Xiao Yi slightly opened his eyes, glancing at the distance.
There, a black panther-type demon beast emitting a ferocious gleam was staring at him intently.
"Black Leopard, Seventh Layer of Saint King Realm demon beast." Xiao Yi immediately recognized the demon beast but paid it no mind.
He hadn’t fully recovered much Primordial Power yet.
But he didn’t consider a mere Seventh Layer of Saint King Realm demon beast a threat.
Roar...
The Black Leopard is quite a vicious and sensitive demon beast, especially adept in speed.
It seemed to feel the human before it wasn’t much stronger than itself.
At the same time, it sensed the human’s weakened state.
So, it did not hesitate any longer.
After an angry roar, it transformed into a black shadow, with sharp claws aiming straight for Xiao Yi’s throat.
"Courting death." Xiao Yi narrowed his eyes, without moving his body, a strand of Sword Qi condensed at his fingertip.
Whoosh...
At this moment, a streak of light suddenly pierced through the sky.
The speed of the streak of light was extremely fast.
The black shadow had yet to approach Xiao Yi and was already struck down by the streak of light.
With a sound.
The Black Leopard fell to the ground.
A pitch-black long arrow pierced through its head and into the ground.
The corpse of the Black Leopard was thus ’nailed’ to the ground, blood flowing everywhere.
"Such a sharp arrow." Xiao Yi glanced, surprised.
Moments ago, it was this sky-breaking arrow that had instantaneously taken the life of the Black Leopard.
What surprised Xiao Yi was that this arrow was not made out of Primordial Power but a real arrow.
If it was made of Primordial Power, Xiao Yi wouldn’t be surprised.
But this was a tangible arrow, presumably not of low-quality material.
Whoosh... At this moment, a figure appeared out of thin air.
The newcomer was a middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man was burly, not dressed in fine clothes, but in burlap.
Underneath the humble attire was a robust, muscular body, clearly very strong.
"Kid, are you looking to die?"
"In this Sword Leaf Forest, you dare to be so careless, meditating with your eyes closed?"
"Luckily, I happened to pass by, otherwise you would’ve been devoured by that fiend."
The words of the middle-aged man carried no malice, only a reminder.
"Devoured me?" Xiao Yi chuckled, noncommittal.
He could see at a glance that this middle-aged man was an Eighth Layer Martial Artist of the Saint King Realm.
Suddenly... whoosh...
A black shadow shot forth from afar.
"It’s the Overlord Black Leopard, be careful." Xiao Yi cautioned, as Sword Qi condensed at his fingertip.
The Overlord Black Leopard was a Ninth Layer of Saint King Realm demon beast.
This middle-aged man couldn’t withstand its assault.
However, the middle-aged man felt no fear, and with quick reflexes, he swung his sword.
The sword fell, and a dazzling light swished across the sword body.
The incoming Overlord Black Leopard fell dead, instantly cut to pieces.
"How is this possible?" Xiao Yi was slightly surprised.
But what truly surprised him was the dazzling cold glint of the sword just now.
If he wasn’t mistaken, the sword in the middle-aged man’s hand was just a Sub-Saint Artifact level sword.
Yet the power of the sword just now was not inferior to a low-grade Holy Device.
"Hmph." Suddenly, a disdainful snort sounded.
A figure appeared out of nowhere, the new arrival was a young man.
"Bumpkin, you’re an outsider martial artist, aren’t you?" The young man said disdainfully and proudly, "That’s the Sword Power only our Sword Domain Swordmen possess."
"Sword Power?" Xiao Yi frowned.
...
End of the second update.
