Soul Emperor Martial God-Chapter 868: Sword Domain

After another ten or so minutes, Xiao Yi roughly stabilized his injuries.

The Primordial Power of the Small World within him and his own strength also recovered somewhat.

This time, the injuries were far more severe than imagined.

The meridians, riddled with holes inside him, the visceral pain from the freezing cold, etc., were manageable.

After all, he endured the backlash for only a very short time, a ten-day or half-month’s rest should suffice for recovery.

The most troublesome part was the physical wounds. For Body Cultivation Martial Artists, physical strength is indeed formidable.

But at best, they don’t get hurt; once injured, recovery becomes extremely difficult.

The previously charred black surface under the molten lava now appeared intact.

In truth, to recover would require at least one or two months, almost impossible to heal quickly.

Of course, there’s no rushing this process.

"Phew." Xiao Yi exhaled a murky breath.

Just as he was about to rest for a while and then continue healing, his expression suddenly changed.

Beside him, Tang Sha saw Xiao Yi’s previously miserable appearance return to normal and let out a sigh of relief.

Just when Tang Sha thought Xiao Yi’s injuries had healed, he saw the changes in Xiao Yi’s expression.

"What’s wrong, Brother Xiao Yi?" Tang Sha asked in confusion.

"Something’s not right," Xiao Yi muttered to himself instinctively.

"What’s not right? Could it be that the Fire Demon isn’t dead yet?" Tang Sha was taken aback.

"No." Xiao Yi shook his head.

The spiritual intelligence of the Fire Demon was something he witnessed personally being reduced to nothingness in the Purple Crystal Spirit Flame.

If it couldn’t be burned or even touched, that would be something else.

But since it was thoroughly burned by the Purple Flame, it couldn’t possibly survive.

The Purple Crystal Spirit Flame, as one of the world’s most powerful flames, has the effect of incinerating everything.

Anything incinerated to nothingness by it will be completely annihilated.

The reason Xiao Yi’s expression changed.

Was because, in his perception, the intense scorching sensation from before still existed.

The previously heart-wrenching feeling grew increasingly intense.

"What’s going on, the Fire Demon’s spiritual intelligence has vanished, there should be no more demons or beasts within the volcano," Xiao Yi frowned tightly.

"Then this feeling and sensation..." Xiao Yi’s heart was puzzled, with a hint of caution.

"Looks like I need to go back inside the volcano again," Xiao Yi muttered.

He only felt that this feeling and sensation were not coming from the Fire Demon, but something else.

This thing caused an extremely intense feeling.

"Back inside the volcano?" Tang Sha was stunned.

Xiao Yi stood up and started heading back into the volcano.

"I’ll go with you, Brother Xiao Yi." Tang Sha quickly followed.

Xiao Yi nodded.

The two figures flickered a few times and arrived at the top of the volcano.

At this moment, this volcano was only half remaining.

The two of them leaped down, and inside, the rocks that previously resembled ’corridors’ were completely turned to dust by the previous eruption of molten lava.

Inside the volcano, only slowly flowing molten lava remained.

Compared to before, where the flow of lava was swift and fierce, now it was gradually nearing stillness, as if it had lost its life.

This molten lava was originally controlled by the Fire Demon’s spiritual intelligence.

Now that the Fire Demon’s spiritual intelligence had dissipated, this molten lava turned into ordinary lava, no different from other volcanoes.

The power, temperature, etc., were also far less than before.

The two figures flew across the surface of the lava with ease.

In just a moment, the two reached the central area inside the volcano.

"It’s right here." Xiao Yi frowned.

The intense scorching sensation was strongest here.

"Open," Xiao Yi softly commanded.

The lava here was now just ordinary lava.

Therefore, Xiao Yi didn’t even need any specific Fire Control Technique, just a burst of Primordial Power could easily disperse the surrounding lava.

"Brother Xiao Yi, do you want to see what’s at the bottom of this lava?" Tang Sha asked puzzled.

Xiao Yi nodded.

In his perception, the source of the heart-wrenching sensation was right beneath the lava.

"I’ll do it." Tang Sha smiled, "After all, you just had a big battle and are still injured."

With that, Tang Sha waved his large hand, and under the surge of Heavenly Extreme Fourth Layer Primordial Power, the lava was rapidly parted.

At the same time, streams of yellow sand appeared spontaneously.

The yellow sand formed a sand wall, automatically isolating the lava.

"Let’s go down," Tang Sha said.

Xiao Yi nodded and jumped down.

The two descended all the way, with the lava on both sides continuously parting and descending.

The sand walls also kept extending downward.

The further Xiao Yi descended, the stronger the feeling became in his heart.

A few minutes later, they had descended a thousand feet, gradually nearing the bottom.

At this time, at the bottom, there was a wisp of ghostly white light.

"What’s going on, it’s so cold." Tang Sha shivered involuntarily.

Beneath the scorching molten lava, there was actually such a cold thing?

"What a terrifying cold aura." Tang Sha’s face showed surprise, "The aura alone ignored my Protective Primordial Power and felt freezing to the bone."

After ten seconds or so, the two finally reached the bottom.

"That is... a sword?" Tang Sha’s eyes widened.

At the bottom, there was a sharp sword standing upright, emitting an extremely cold ghostly white glow.

"Just as expected." Xiao Yi looked relieved and walked slowly towards this sharp sword.

Before, he had always felt a presence that made his heart race.

He had thought it was the terrifying aura of the Fire Demon.

But after the Fire Demon’s spiritual intelligence dissipated, when he again perceived this aura, he discovered that it contained the sharpness one would associate only with Sword Qi.

It was precisely because of this sharp aura that he dared to confirm that it was unrelated to the Fire Demon.

Only then did he dare to check the volcano’s interior.

"Hmm?" Xiao Yi frowned as he looked at this sword up close.

He discovered that the ghostly white peculiar cold light resembled clusters of flames.

"What a strange sword." Xiao Yi wore a puzzled expression.

The sword body felt extremely cold, yet the previous sensation it gave was fiery, even making his heart race.

The sword seemed to contain some inexplicable flame.

"This sword..." At this moment, Tang Sha also approached, staring at the sharp sword with an unusual expression.

"What, do you know this sword?" Xiao Yi asked.

"Not sure." Tang Sha shook his head, "But just looking at the shape and aura of this sword, it’s probably it."

"Brother Xiao Yi, look here." Tang Sha pointed at the sharp sword.

"The sword body is cold white as bone, emitting ghostly white light and cold aura."

"The blade is exceptionally sharp, the sharp aura makes it painful to look at."

"This ghostly light resembles clusters of unexplained flames."

"If I’m not mistaken, this should be the legendary Cold Flame Sword."

"Cold Flame Sword?" Xiao Yi frowned.

"Exactly." Tang Sha nodded and said, "According to legend, it was forged by a Great Power from the Sword Domain, but later got lost."

"This sword is ranked as a Mid-grade Holy Artifact."

"Sword Domain?" Xiao Yi frowned again.

"Yes." Tang Sha nodded and said, "Sword Domain is a certain place within the Central Region; legend says that the martial artists there are all Sword Dao Great Powers with immense strength."

"Also, each excels at crafting weapons, all are great masters in sword casting."

"Legend has it, when the Cold Flame Sword was forged, all flames within the Sword Domain vanished instantly, and all swords and weapons resonated incessantly in that moment."

"Ten Thousand Swords submitted, a thousand flames dissipated."

"Later, for some unknown reason, it was said that this sword was stolen, and thus it was lost forever."

"This sword has been lost for at least several thousand years."

"The time isn’t remarkably long, which is why I managed to find some records and legends about it in certain documents."
