Soul Emperor Martial God-Chapter 786: The Final Baptism

Another Thunder Pillar struck, and Xiao Yi could only once again condense the Four-colored Flames to forcefully withstand it.

Boom... a loud explosion.

Just like before, the Thunder Pillar’s power was largely neutralized by the Four-colored Flames, then shattered by a punch from Xiao Yi.

However, this time, Xiao Yi distinctly felt a numbing sensation on his fist.

"The power of the Thunder Pillar has increased," Xiao Yi silently thought to himself with a sense of foreboding.

The rumbling Lei Ting in the high skies was already intensifying.

Naturally, the descending Thunder Pillars were also growing stronger.

Boom... The rumbling Lei Ting gave Xiao Yi no extra time.

No sooner had the second Thunder Pillar been barely scattered than another one came crashing down.

"Go." Xiao Yi uttered a low shout, and the Four-colored Flames flew out of his hand.

Boom... a loud explosion.

This time, the Four-colored Flames only managed to neutralize half of the Thunder Pillar.

Indeed, the Thunder Pillars were continuously strengthening.

The remaining half of the power struck directly at him.

Xiao Yi also threw a punch.

Boom, the clash between the fist and the Thunder Pillar ended with the Thunder Pillar being shattered.

But by this time, Xiao Yi’s fist was already dripping with fresh blood.

This was merely the third Thunder Pillar.

Boom... The next second, the fourth Thunder Pillar arrived as expected.

...

A few seconds later.

Inside the entire Secret Realm, the originally thunderous rumbling had come to a stop.

Instead, there was a continuous series of explosions.

The explosions came from the confrontations between Xiao Yi and the Thunder Pillars.

All lightning had already ceased its indiscriminate bombardment.

They seemed to have gained sentience, with Xiao Yi as their only target.

A few more seconds passed.

Boom... another Thunder Pillar struck; this was already the tenth one.

The Four-colored Flames were cast, merely neutralizing less than a third of the Thunder Pillar’s power.

The remaining force of the lightning bore down entirely upon Xiao Yi.

"Pu." Xiao Yi violently spat out a mouthful of blood.

His previously defending fists were now charred black.

Under the rampage of successive lightning strikes, his fists were covered in wounds.

Trickles of dark red blood oozed out, an utterly sorry sight.

Xiao Yi could not afford to wipe the fresh blood from the corner of his mouth, as the eleventh lightning bolt was already on its way.

This time, the ferocity of the Thunder Pillar was even more severe than before, having increased in power many times over.

Xiao Yi gritted his teeth, and both hands shot out.

Eight streams of flames surged forth, suddenly converging in his hands.

The eight streams of flames merged.

In the end, two masses of Four-colored Flames violently burst forth.

Boom... a loud explosion.

The Thunder Pillar was instantly shattered, and flickers of electric light flashed.

Both masses of Four-colored Flames also disintegrated within it, turning into specks of light.

Xiao Yi breathed a small sigh of relief, finally having a moment to catch his breath.

However, after about a dozen seconds.

When the 21st Thunder Pillar came crashing down, Xiao Yi’s expression was unspeakably grim.

The two masses of Four-colored Flames were cast, only to neutralize less than half of the Thunder Pillar’s power.

Boom...

Before Xiao Yi could react, the Thunder Pillar dispersed the flames and struck his body.

The Thunder Pillar engulfed him completely.

Even the residual force erupting around him was more fierce than any previous lightning strike.

Half a second later, the Thunder Pillar dissipated.

And at this moment, Xiao Yi’s body was emitting steam, with blackened, blood-oozing scars – an extremely eerie sight.

Xiao Yi bit down on his teeth, his expression suddenly turning cold and detached.

His legs, bloodied and marred with numerous wounds, remained steadily upright.

His proud head was held high; his ruthless eyes stared straight at the rumbling Lei Ting in the high skies.

"Let’s see how many more times you can strike me," Xiao Yi’s voice was so cold it seemed to squeeze through his clenched teeth.

With hands slightly charred, he suddenly raised them.

Instantly, a vast Fire Sea materialized before him.

The Fire Sea, composed of Four-colored Flames.

In the past, Xiao Yi had only experimented with merging small amounts of the four types of flames.

After all, each of the four flames was among the most fierce in the world, extremely violent, and difficult to merge.

Even if they merged, it would be quite unstable.

Like this time, forming a large area of fire sea through the merging, it was the first for him.

The difficulty of fusing such a vast amount of four powerful flames at the same time is unimaginable.

It has to be said that Xiao Yi truly is a Martial Arts prodigy, and his ability in Fire Control is frighteningly strong.

The next second, another Thunder Pillar came crashing down.

Xiao Yi’s eyes were cold, his hands raised high.

Within the Four-colored Fire Sea, the flames instantly went wild.

As the Thunder Pillar descended, it got engulfed by the Fire Sea, and in an instant, it was burnt into nothingness.

Boom... Boom... Boom...

Every second, a Thunder Pillar would crash down without fail.

Another dozen seconds later, the 39th Thunder Pillar came hurtling down.

The Four-colored Fire Sea, once again, burned it to ashes.

However, just a few seconds later. frёewebnoѵēl.com

When the 41st Thunder Pillar came crashing down, Xiao Yi’s face underwent a drastic change.

Almost at the instant the Thunder Pillar appeared, Xiao Yi felt a pressure that was overwhelmingly difficult to counter.

Under this pressure, he felt as insignificant as an ant.

Boom...

The Thunder Pillar struck down.

The Four-colored Fire Sea surged up to envelop it.

But in the end, as strong as the Four-colored Fire Sea was, it also got instantly dispersed; and the Thunder Pillar, within the flames, turned into nothingness.

Xiao Yi had come to understand.

These Thunder Pillars, every ten of them marked a boundary.

Before the tenth one, although the power of each one increased, the increase was small.

But after every ten pillars, the power would drastically jump in quality.

Xiao Yi once again waved his hand grandly, and the Four-colored Fire Sea was conjured forth.

The following Thunder Pillars, nine in a row, Xiao Yi blocked them all.

Each time, it ended with the Four-colored Fire Sea and the Thunder Pillar ’perishing together.’

Of course, the power of each pillar still increased, but it was still within his capacity to bear, and with other methods, he managed to catch them all just in time.

The next second, the Lei Ting in the high sky suddenly surged in intensity.

And within the Subspace, only the last Thunder Pillar remained.

The 51st Thunder Pillar.

This one, without a doubt, would be the strongest of them all.

And furthermore, it was an entire level stronger than the 50th one.

"The last one, huh? Bring it on," Xiao Yi bellowed.

Boom... In the high sky, a fierce roar thundered, as if it was a declaration from an enraged Thunder God.

The Thunder Pillar, in an instant, came crashing down.

"This is the moment I’ve been waiting for," Xiao Yi’s eyes turned icy.

In his hand, the Eight Dragons Burning Fire Furnace materialized out of thin air.

A Dragon Flame was instantly expelled and shielded in front of him.

He had not used the Dragon Flame from within the Eight Dragons Burning Fire Furnace until now because the Primordial Power consumption required to drive a single Dragon Flame was too great, and he simply could not sustain it for long.

He did not know how long these thunder and lightning, or rather the Thunder Pillars, would continue, so he had not used it up till now.

Only at this very moment, with the last Thunder Pillar, did he use it.

And his own body, continuously clashing with the previous Thunder Pillars, was already running low on Primordial Power.

The very last bit of his Primordial Power was just enough for him to unleash a single Dragon Flame.

Boom... The Thunder Pillar fell, and colliding heavily against the Dragon Flame.

In that moment, the entire Subspace, suddenly shook non-stop.

An intense aura swept through the entire Secret Realm.

In that instant, it was as though the heavens and earth had lost their color.

Seconds later, everything returned to normal.

The Thunder Pillar, had by then disappeared.

The Dragon Flame, as the last of Xiao Yi’s Primordial Power was exhausted, also dissipated.

"Whew." Xiao Yi let out a breath, nearly staggering and falling to the ground.

From the start of his journey across the Thunder Pool, to enduring the thunder and lightning, comprehending the Inheritance, and then to the continuous, relentless struggle under the 51 Thunder Pillars.

Not only was all his Primordial Power completely drained, but his mind and spirit were also greatly depleted.

And on top of that, with the severe injuries all over his body, it was admirable he hadn’t collapsed outright.

Several seconds later, Xiao Yi barely gathered some strength.

Around him, what was once a calm aura suddenly went berserk again.

Countless thunder and lightning appeared out of nowhere.

"More?" Xiao Yi gritted his teeth, his face changing once again.

Boom... Boom... Boom...

Countless thunder and lightning surged toward him.

Just as Xiao Yi was about to forcibly stand up and shield himself with his methods,

he discovered that these thunder and lightning had no power at all; yes, not even the slightest bit of force.

The thunder and lightning struck down on him directly.

Instead of causing any pain, they brought him a warm and comfortable sensation.

The blood on his body began to slowly fall away, and his wounds were also healing.

If the countless thunder and lightning before were an attack on him,

then the thunder and lightning now were a baptism for him.

...

The second update.
