Soul Emperor Martial God-Chapter 1497: Ancient War?

A colossal demon beast suddenly struck towards him.

Xiao Yi stepped out with his sword.

At this moment, the sword in his hand was the ’Star-cutting.’

Just as Xiao Yi was about to cut the demon beast beneath his sword, a sharp pain erupted in his mind. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

"Hiss." Xiao Yi let out a cry of pain.

The scene before him suddenly became exceedingly ’narrow.’

The only scene he could see was of him and the demon beast ahead.

Xiao Yi understood that this was because he was experiencing the battle of ’Senior Zhanxing.’

As for the battles of others in the scene, and other things, they had nothing to do with him.

Clang...

The colossal demon beast bit towards him, and Xiao Yi held the ’Star-cutting’ in front of him.

The giant beast, with its massive and sturdy body.

The Star-cutting sword couldn’t harm it in the slightest.

"Such a strong demon beast." Xiao Yi was first shocked, then retreated several steps.

"Ten Thousand Flowers Slash Star."

Xiao Yi shouted explosively.

Ten sword flowers suddenly appeared in the air.

Xiao Yi swung the sword out.

The sword flowers instantly bloomed.

The sword descended, and the demon beast was split into pieces and died.

...

Unknowingly, after some time had passed, Xiao Yi opened his eyes again.

He glanced at the path of Sword Qi on either side.

He had already walked quite a distance.

Looking back, the Sword Stele from the beginning was no longer visible.

In front, it wouldn’t take long to reach the end of the first layer of space.

He already understood the essence of this comprehension trial.

The so-called comprehension trial was to put oneself into the identity of the senior.

All his techniques, Martial Techniques, etc., couldn’t be used in the comprehension state at all.

All he could use were the means of the senior while alive, the means at that stage of the scene.

The significance of the trial was whether, given the same opportunity, the same Cultivation Technique, the same means, could one do better?

For example, in the battle scene.

Putting himself into the identity of the senior, possessing the same Sword Technique.

Could he end the battle faster?

Or in the cultivation scenes or comprehension of Martial Arts scenes.

Could he comprehend the Martial Arts faster and master it more successfully under the same circumstances?

This is the test of comprehension.

Walking the same path of Sword Dao, could he do better or faster than Senior Zhanxing?

If in these battle scenes, he failed.

Or in these comprehension scenes, he failed to comprehend, taking longer.

Then, this comprehension trial would fail.

The Sword Heart would lose its fortitude at that moment.

This also means that the Comprehender would instantly be lost in it, never waking again.

The road of comprehension would stop here, and he could only wait half a month to be forcibly expelled from this space.

Of course, although he stayed only half a month in the Sword Emperor Stele space.

But being lost in the comprehension state could very well span thousands or tens of thousands of years.

Such a loss is terrifying and extremely hard to endure.

"Phew." Xiao Yi took another deep breath.

His eyes began to close.

His mind went blank, entering the comprehension state once more.

...

Gradually, time passed.

In the comprehension state, thousands of years had passed.

At this time, the scene before Xiao Yi suddenly became inexplicable.

The further along the scene went, the stranger it exhibited.

Xiao Yi even felt that these scenes were somewhat ’obscure’ and ’blurred.’

But of course, Xiao Yi saw very clearly.

This seemed to be a void place.

Around him was pitch black, only a massive flame in front crossed the void.

"Star Illusion Fire?" Xiao Yi instantly reacted.

Then began to sit cross-legged in comprehension.

After an unknown passage of time.

Xiao Yi clearly had already comprehended the Martial Arts within.

He tried to control this flame.

But he discovered he couldn’t do anything at all.

There is only one reason, that in Senior Zhanxing’s experiences, the senior never thought to control or even obtain this Star Illusion Fire.

In the senior’s experience, what has never been done, Xiao Yi in the comprehension state, also cannot do.

In Senior Zhanxing’s experience, what he wanted to do but couldn’t, Xiao Yi can experience and try to see if he can achieve.

But what the senior never thought of, Xiao Yi cannot experience at all.

At that time, the senior’s mental state should have known that he absolutely couldn’t control this flame, hence never intended to try to control it.

At this point, the scene ended.

Xiao Yi awoke from the comprehension.

This segment of comprehension experience passed particularly quickly for Xiao Yi.

Because, during the comprehension state, when feeling the Star Illusion Fire, Xiao Yi’s speed was far faster than the senior’s back then.

Xiao Yi himself controlled multiple powerful flames of the world, also being a fire control genius.

Naturally, putting himself into the identity of Senior Zhanxing, comprehending the Star Illusion Fire was exceptionally quick.

The faster his comprehension speed, the faster the scenes pass, the slower time passed in reality.

Thinking about it, he hadn’t actually ’passed’ much time just now.

Additionally.

He finally understood the senior’s words, ’If you have the ability, you’ll discover it yourself.’

Indeed, in this scene just now, at this stage, the strength level of the senior was such that if Xiao Yi reached this level in the future; he would certainly reach the place in this scene in the future.

He roughly marked down the scene of the Star Illusion Fire’s existence.

In the future, if he arrives at that strange, unknown region, he would recognize it in an instant.

...

Xiao Yi closed his eyes once more, entering comprehension again.

The comprehension state passed another millennium.

The scene abruptly froze.

A strange demon beast suddenly appeared ahead.

Xiao Yi couldn’t describe the peculiarity of the beast.

Yet, the grim visage and extremely sinister aura suddenly felt familiar to Xiao Yi.

"Endless Black Sea demon beast?" Xiao Yi suddenly recalled.

Yes, the demon beast ahead looked very much like the Black Sea demon beast he encountered in the Eastern Domain long ago.

That seemingly endless, toxic-ridden, vast-black Endless Black Sea.

However, the beast’s aura in front was far stronger than the beasts he had encountered before.

Back during the scene when he encountered the Star Illusion Fire stage, Senior Zhanxing’s strength far surpassed that of a Supreme Expert.

Then naturally, the demon beast encountered in the scene now would be much stronger.

The surroundings of the scene similarly were a vast battlefield.

Inside the battlefield, countless killings occurred.

But quickly, these scenes became ’narrow’ again.

What Xiao Yi could see was only the demon beast ahead.

"Ancient battle?" Xiao Yi frowned slightly.

He remembered that the end of Ancient Times was marked by a battle between humans and the beast monarch coming to an end.

It was also that battle that made the world lose its colors, fracturing the continent.

The Eastern Domain was directly separated, and even the Heaven and Earth Power was shattered.

On the Eastern Domain, a complete Martial Arts path couldn’t be condensed, only a remnant, a thread of Heaven and Earth Martial Arts Power.

Could it be that the battles in this stage of Senior Zhanxing’s scene were the battles from back then?

No time for Xiao Yi to think more.

The grim demon beast ahead had already attacked.

"Ten Thousand Flower Star Fire." Xiao Yi shouted explosively.

A sword slashed out, Sword Qi crossing, flames surging atop the Sword Qi.

It was a fusion of Star-cutting Sword Dao and the Star Illusion Fire.

One sword strokes out, Sword Qi fierce, flames directly tearing apart a vast space.
