Soul Emperor Martial God-Chapter 1676: Blood Saint Undying Body

"This Xue Bai still dares to provoke? Has he got a death wish?"

"No, Xue Bai isn’t a fool. Could it be that he wants to..."

The surrounding martial artists watching the fight began discussing again.

Provoking Yi Xiao was clearly not a wise move.

Xue Bai, being one of the Eighteen Mansions’s Talents, wasn’t a fool, so his purpose was self-evident.

On the martial arts arena, Xiao Yi spoke indifferently, "As you wish."

Although he knew Xue Bai’s provocation had ulterior motives.

But with the absolute disparity in strength, there was no need to worry.

With one glance, Xiao Yi could tell that Xue Bai’s cultivation level was about the same as Heu Youu’s, both at the 9400 mark.

At 9500 marks, one would step into the realm of Great Power.

Then, martial artists would experience a qualitative leap compared to the peak of the Saint Emperor Realm.

Before that, there was a noticeable gap between 9400 marks and 9300 marks, but it wasn’t too significant.

"Alright, Yi Xiao, straightforward as expected." Xue Bai praised, with a trace of admiration in his voice.

In his heart, however, he secretly rejoiced, "Yi Xiao, you’re this arrogant, so don’t blame me then."

"In this battle, perhaps I might actually win."

"Defeating you would make me undoubtedly the foremost among the Eighteen Mansions’s Talents."

Whoosh...

Waves of blood-red energy surged rapidly from Xue Bai’s body.

As it surged, blood blisters continually formed and burst, eerie and chilling.

"Could it be..." Among the audience, there were many astute observers, as well as renowned strong figures from the major forces of the Central Region.

Many recognized Xue Bai’s technique.

"That’s... the Blood Saint Undying Body, the Forbidden Technique of Blood Light Mansion."

"I’ve heard that even the Master of Blood Light Mansion, before assuming his position, only dared to try cultivating it after reaching the Supreme Level and only then managed to succeed."

"This Xue Bai is truly formidable. Yet to reach Great Power, he’s already cultivated it successfully."

On the martial arts arena.

Xiao Yi listened to the surrounding discussions, frowning slightly, "Blood Saint Undying Body?"

This was his first time seeing this technique.

But he had long heard of the infamous Blood Saint Undying Body.

It was the foremost Forbidden Technique of Blood Light Mansion, with origins tracing back to the Ancient Times.

The technique was inexplicable and its power astonishing.

It was clear that Xue Bai’s aura at this moment was continuously soaring.

The blood blisters surging on his body became increasingly dense.

From the audience, Ye Liu shouted, "Brother Yi, the Blood Saint Undying Body is no ordinary method."

"Once fully condensed, it becomes exceedingly troublesome."

"But its condensation usually takes a long time, you..."

On the martial arts arena, Xue Bai spoke first with a sneer, "Yi Xiao, did you agree to take this move of mine?"

"Or are you reconsidering?"

"I’ll let you choose even now while my cultivation technique isn’t complete, to defeat me directly."

"But the distinguished Purple Flame Yi Xiao, even seems afraid, hesitant to fight. Tsk tsk... I don’t mind, go ahead and strike."

Xue Bai’s words were clearly meant to provoke.

But Xiao Yi didn’t care, he noticed that Xue Bai’s tone was unconsciously becoming cold.

Yes, cold.

Xue Bai’s aura, voice, gaze, everything was unconsciously becoming cold.

That kind of coldness, Xiao Yi didn’t know how to describe, only that it made one feel an inexplicable chill in the heart.

He had heard of the Blood Saint Undying Body, but didn’t know the details.

It was Ye Liu, once regarded as a playful son.

But Xiao Yi knew well that Ye Liu dwarfed the other talents of the Eighteen Mansions.

As one of the Eighteen Mansions’s Talents himself, his knowledge far exceeded the others, so he must be very familiar with the Blood Saint Undying Body.

Even he had spoken out to warn.

The Blood Saint Undying Body was indeed very troublesome.

However, Xiao Yi also wanted to see how powerful the foremost Forbidden Technique of Blood Light Mansion really was.

Previously, he knew that within the Central Region, there were countless untold secrets.

Especially those ancient secrets, dangerous and alluring, yet few knew much about them.

Being one of the overlord forces of the continent, the Eighteen Mansions were naturally involved with many of these ancient secrets, techniques, etc.

"Ancient forbidden technique? I’ve long been eager to experience it," Xiao Yi thought to himself with anticipation.

"I wonder how it compares to my Blood Slaughter Demon Scripture."

While Xiao Yi thought this, the momentum of Xue Bai’s aura was escalating ever faster.

The aura, initially at just the 9400 level, was visibly rising one level after another at an accelerated pace.

In a short moment, Xue Bai had already surpassed the realm of Martial Arts Great Power.

And the rise of aura continued without stopping.

marks, 9601 marks, 9602 marks...

Every second, Xue Bai’s aura grew a fraction.

Unknowingly, the expressions of the audience watching the match began to change.

They became filled with astonishment.

While the participating talents around, in their eyes, the colour of vigilance grew more intense.

"It’s reached 9800 marks, this lunatic..."

This included talents from the other Eighteen Mansions, such as Thunder Light Mansion’s young master Lei Ba, Arrow Star Mansion’s young master Lingg Hong, and others.

After several minutes, Xue Bai’s rising aura suddenly halted.

At this moment, Xue Bai’s veins had visibly appeared, engulfed in a sheen of blood.

"Alright, Yi Xiao, it’s your turn now." Xue Bai sneered.

"9989 marks, infinitely close to Supreme," Xiao Yi shook his head, his tone carrying some disappointment.

At 9990 marks, one would enter the Supreme level.

When ten levels away from a complete ten thousand martial paths, a martial artist would be considered a generation’s Supreme.

Yet now, Xue Bai only reached 9989 marks, still one mark short of Supreme.

Though it seemed just one mark away, the difference was worlds apart.

marks still fell within the realm of Martial Arts Great Power, albeit an invincible one.

However, it still could not enter the Supreme.

Xue Bai heard this and noticed the disappointment in Xiao Yi’s tone, and his face flushed with anger.

"Yi Xiao, don’t be arrogant."

"I know your battle record is astonishing. I can’t do much to you."

"But defeating me won’t be that easy."

Xiao Yi shook his head. He was already disappointed and didn’t intend to waste any more time, even if just for a few minutes.

Whoosh...

On the martial arts arena, a flash of fire streaked by.

This scene replicated precisely the previous battle against Heu Youu.

Again, there was an explosive sound.

However, after the explosive sound subsided, the flame stopped, but the result was not like before when one punch sent Heu Youu flying off the martial arts arena.

Xue Bai still stood on the arena, the corners of his mouth curled into a sneer.

"Hmm?" Xiao Yi frowned.

Looking closely, his fist had already pierced through Xue Bai’s body.

Even with his body directly pierced, Xue Bai continued to laugh coldly?

Looking closer, Xue Bai’s body had taken on a blood-red hue.

"I see," Xiao Yi realized, "Liquidizing the body."

Xiao Yi swiftly retracted his fist and then launched another punch.

Boom... an explosive sound.

This punch from Xiao Yi, even a mountain could be shattered to dust.

Yet the fist still pierced through Xue Bai’s body.

The force on the fist penetrated straight through, creating a massive crack on the martial arts arena behind Xue Bai.

Yet, Xue Bai continued laughing coldly.

"It’s useless," Xue Bai sneered, "The Blood Saint Undying Body has condensed, I now stand in an invincible position."

...

Second update.
