Soul Emperor Martial God-Chapter 860: Entering the Volcano

Step... step... step...

In front, a Flame Giant hundreds of feet tall slowly emerged.

The flames covering its body occasionally dripped as it moved.

Drip... Flames fell onto the ground, the terrifying heat instantly burning a giant hole.

With each step of its massive body, the ground trembled.

In its presence, even the giant ship was insignificant, let alone the Human Martial Artists.

On the giant ship, a group of martial artists watched the slowly approaching behemoth with horror etched on their faces.

Only Tang Sha had a slightly fierce expression on his pale face.

"Tang Sha, don’t be intimidated by the reputation of this demon creature," Xiao Yi said solemnly.

"Brother Xiao Yi, do you understand this Fire Demon?" Tang Sha turned slightly, asking with a hopeful tone.

Xiao Yi nodded, saying, "The Fire Demon was born of spiritual intelligence within stone."

"It usually only emerges within volcanic areas with an exceptionally intense Fire Attribute Aura, derived from hard rocks wrapped in molten lava."

"Once the intelligence is born from the rock, it manipulates the fire within, forming its body."

"Because these rocks have coexisted with the molten flames for countless years, their auras are highly compatible."

"Thus, the intelligence can easily form a flame body."

"And so, these become the Fire Demon."

"However, rocks belong to the Earth Attribute spiritual intelligence, lacking vitality. The difficulty of their birth is more challenging than some intangible things."

"Therefore, the Fire Demon is almost like a mythical being, extremely rare to encounter."

Tang Sha’s pallor gradually brightened, "Brother Xiao Yi, since you understand this Fire Demon so well, do you have a way to deal with it?"

"Let’s not discuss dealing with it first," Xiao Yi responded casually, "Pre-defeat talk before the battle."

"In my impression, Brother Tang doesn’t seem like such a coward."

Saying this, Xiao Yi glanced meaningfully at Tang Sha.

"Hmm?" Tang Sha’s eyes suddenly brightened, and the death grey on his face dissipated instantly.

"Thank you for the guidance, Brother Xiao Yi," Tang Sha bowed to Xiao Yi.

"Heh," Xiao Yi chuckled lightly.

Anyone, faced with the unknown or something overwhelmingly powerful, powerful to the point of being insurmountable, will feel fear.

Martial artists, although they endure more than ordinary people, also experience fear.

They also experience various panic and other emotions.

This is why martial artists encounter Heart Demon and need to temper their Dao Heart.

The long journey of Martial Arts requires advancing with a fearless heart.

As for Tang Sha, though Xiao Yi was not particularly familiar with him, they had some acquaintanceship.

So Xiao Yi offered a few reminders, and whether Tang Sha could awaken fully depended on himself.

And it’s clear that Tang Sha is one of the Supreme Genius, waking with a spark.

"Brother Xiao Yi..." Tang Sha looked at the Flame Giant in the distance, his face anxious.

Xiao Yi said calmly, "I told you, don’t be intimidated by its reputation."

"The so-called Fire Demon, aside from its body being made of fire, how is it different from a typical demon beast?"

"Indeed, it’s rare, much rarer than the Dune Snake Emperor."

"Heh, just a demon beast with a slightly strange and intimidating appearance," Tang Sha laughed lightly.

"Umm," Xiao Yi nodded, "Though its strength is here, nonetheless."

"Later, I’ll try to break through the Flame Barrier with full force and escape."

"If not, then..."

"What?" Tang Sha asked.

"Let me try first," Xiao Yi’s face was serious, his figure flashed, soaring upwards.

"Thunder Extreme Break."

Xiao Yi’s fist surged with thunder light, violently smashing toward the Flame Barrier.

However, the Flame Barrier produced only slight ripples.

"Huh," Xiao Yi muttered, launching another punch.

On his arm, two brilliant blue Ice Patterns instantly activated.

At the same time, the Small World within his body quickly gathered a Boiling Demon Fire, beginning to burn.

The boiling aura caused Xiao Yi’s aura to surge.

This punch was Xiao Yi’s most powerful strike.

Boom... the violent power struck the Flame Barrier, causing a loud explosion.

The Flame Barrier trembled violently.

A huge depression was punched out, but the Barrier still failed to break.

"Hmm?" Xiao Yi’s face changed.

"The entire Flame Barrier is connected with the Fire Demon and all surrounding Flame Aura."

Xiao Yi glanced around.

Originally, in his estimation, this punch should be enough to break the Flame Barrier.

But after the punch, the power hit the Flame Barrier, it was dispersed to all directions, dispersing the fist’s strength.

This was why the Flame Barrier had a huge depression punched out but did not break.

The Flame Barrier, Fire Demon, and the distant giant volcano’s entire aura completely connected as one.

Achieving this requires extremely high control over Flame Aura.

The Fire Demon’s Fire Control Ability far exceeded Xiao Yi’s expectations.

Before Xiao Yi had the chance to think further.

Boom... In the sky, a massive flame palm appeared out of nowhere, smacking down hard.

Xiao Yi was directly slapped back onto the giant ship with this palm.

However, the terrifying flame temperature did not harm him in the slightest.

"How is it, Brother Xiao Yi?" Tang Sha asked urgently, "Any way to break the Flame Barrier?"

Xiao Yi shook his head, "No, breaking the Flame Barrier is akin to directly defeating the Fire Demon."

"This..." Tang Sha’s face changed.

"Then simply extinguish the Fire Demon," Xiao Yi said gravely.

"Do you really have a way to deal with the Fire Demon?" Tang Sha asked in shock.

"Perhaps just bluffing to save face, or just talking nonsense. Tang Sha, do you actually believe him?" The Second Prince sneered.

He recovered much slower from panic than Tang Sha.

Xiao Yi ignored him, saying, "Though the Fire Demon is a flame body, its intelligence is Earth Attribute."

"Unlike other demon beasts, for others, intelligence is born in their body."

"For the Fire Demon, intelligence came first, followed by the body formation."

"Or put simply, Earth Attribute intelligence imposed on Fire Attribute body, akin to occupying the nest."

"Therefore, its intelligence cannot fully reside within the flame body."

"Most of its intelligence remains in the rock or within the volcano."

Tang Sha asked seriously, "Brother Xiao Yi means directly entering the volcano to extinguish its intelligence?"

"Correct." Xiao Yi nodded.

"You’re crazy," the Second Prince sneered, "Inside the volcano is the Fire Demon’s lair, entering is akin to walking into death."

"Tang Sha, you wouldn’t actually believe this guy’s nonsense, would you?"

"Does Second Prince have another solution?" Tang Sha countered.

"Stop the chatter, I’ll go first." Xiao Yi said before flying away, heading straight for the massive volcano.

Since its appearance, although the flame hands it conjured were terrifyingly powerful.

Its own movement was exceedingly slow.

This proves, first, this Fire Demon has not surfaced for a long time.

Second, the intelligence within its flame body is incomplete, limiting control over the flame body.

Hence, the primary intelligence must be within the volcano lair.

Xiao Yi took the lead, heading towards the volcano.

"Brother Xiao Yi, wait for me," Tang Sha called out, chasing directly.
