Chapter 2269: Chapter 2265: Netherworld Lord?

"So strong."

Xiao Yi looked at the vast area where the Netherworld snowstorm had been scattered, his face filled with shock.

"Is this the power of Martial Arts Fusion?"

Truthfully, this sword strike didn’t seem that strong.

After all, it had merely scattered a huge area of wind and snow.

Based on Xiao Yi’s strength, if he were outside, he could easily cause mountains to collapse, turning thousands of miles into dust.

But here, they were within the Netherworld.

The frigid snowstorms here, even with Xiao Yi’s full strength, couldn’t be broken even slightly.

Yet now, this single sword strike directly scattered a huge range, as if splitting the heavens and the earth.

Xiao Yi could instantly determine that this sword was more exaggerated than the one he had used against Xie Ruhai.

Of course, during the confrontation with Xie Ruhai, he hadn’t truly unleashed a full strike; otherwise, the price would have been steep, but Xie Ruhai would have certainly been defeated.

Even so, Xiao Yi was certain that this true Martial Arts Fusion sword was far more formidable than that one.

This sword was merely the fusion of Ice Sword Dao and the world’s mighty Flame Aura.

But it was the first genuine fusion of Sword Dao and Fire Dao.

Moreover, it was a collision and blend between Extreme Cold and Extreme Heat.

"Let’s call it the Ice Nether Fire Sword Dao." Xiao Yi chuckled.

In fact, he hadn’t really unleashed that sword.

But he could be sure that this Martial Arts Fusion sword wouldn’t cause even the slightest backlash.

However, he was unsure about the consumption of Primordial Power.

Because the power used just now was...

Xiao Yi turned his gaze to the massive Ice Netherworld Ghost Fire in front of him.

This was the legendary Ice Netherworld Ghost Fire, and it was the true body.

Xiao Yi’s hand was now inserted into the flames, yet utterly unscathed.

First, because the Ice Netherworld Ghost Fire was a masterless entity, or one could say it was a product of heaven and earth.

Second, he himself controlled the Ice Netherworld Ghost Fire.

Naturally, the flames couldn’t harm him.

If it were someone else, their hand would be reduced to dust the instant it touched the flames.

Xiao Yi had no doubt about the firepower of the Ice Netherworld Ghost Fire before him.

These flames, at the end of the Netherworld Road, must be incredibly formidable.

The power consumed in that sword strike came from these flames.

Xiao Yi smiled.

Simply put, he could absorb the power of these flames.

"If I were to absorb you completely..." Xiao Yi’s face showed a hint of delighted anticipation.

Such a vast amount of flame power might be enough to drastically boost his Cultivation.

Just then, a furious shout echoed in his ears.

"Kid, don’t move recklessly."

A shout, as if a heavenly roar, made Xiao Yi’s ears ring and his body tremble instantly.

"Ice Venerable Senior?" Xiao Yi turned his head to look at the Ice Venerable’s Spiritual Consciousness, thousands of miles away.

Only then did Xiao Yi realize that, while on the Netherworld Road, the path ahead seemed shrouded in mist, unclear.

But standing outside, especially now that he had cleared away layers of mist and walked the entire Netherworld Road, everything was remarkably clear.

"Kid, you’re equipped with the Ice Netherworld Ghost Fire, thus able to touch its true body without getting hurt."

"You can even extract its strength to amplify your own Cultivation."

"But I advise you not to act impulsively."

"Beyond this flame, lies the true Netherworld, the Land of Netherworld."

In his ears, the transmitted sound of the Commander Bing Venerable’s Spiritual Consciousness.

Xiao Yi furrowed his brows and transmitted his response, "And then?"

"And then? Fool." The Ice Venerable’s Spiritual Consciousness scolded, "Do you intend to plummet into the Netherworld? Once you enter the Land of Netherworld, how do you think you can survive?"

"This flame’s true body may be powerful, but it’s of little use to you; leave it alone and retreat promptly."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yi pondered for a moment and nodded.

Indeed, the true body of the Ice Netherworld Ghost Fire was not of much use to him.

He himself controlled the Ice Netherworld Ghost Fire, and the difference between him and the flame’s true body lay only in the intensity of its power, whereas their levels were the same.

Simply put, once his Cultivation reaches a high level, the Ice Netherworld Ghost Fire he unleashes won’t be inferior to this true body, perhaps even stronger.

Absorbing the true body of the Ice Netherworld Ghost Fire would merely serve as a catalyst for transforming Primordial Power.

Simply put, to him, this true body is no different from ordinary Cultivation Items; it’s just more greatly effective.

Since the Ice Venerable’s Spiritual Consciousness had placed great emphasis on warning him, Xiao Yi decided not to take the risk.

With that thought, Xiao Yi retracted his hand and took another look at his surroundings.

"Whew." After a while, Xiao Yi took a deep breath and completely withdrew his gaze.

The purpose of coming to the Ice Emperor Palace had been accomplished.

The entire Netherworld Road had been traversed, and he understood what Martial Arts Fusion meant.

A year and a half ago, in the sword wielded by the Senior Swordswoman, there was Extreme Cold yet with Flame Aura; the reason, he also knew now.

The Senior Swordswoman couldn’t completely fulfill the inheritance of the Senior Ice Saint.

And the inheritance of the Senior Ice Saint himself, along the Ice Nether Sword Dao, had only traversed a thousand miles’ distance, still far from complete mastery of the entire Martial Way.

But today, Xiao Yi has comprehended the entire Ice Nether Martial Way.

In other words, he can now control a complete Ice Nether Sword Dao, and in the future, he can master other Ice Netherworld Dao as well.

Back then, the Senior Ice Saint could split continents with a single sword.

His current Cultivation naturally can’t reach that level yet, but should he attain the Cultivation Realm of the Senior Ice Saint someday, the sword he strikes will be even stronger.

Xiao Yi couldn’t help but feel some anticipation.

Most importantly, if he can fuse Ice and Fire, then other Martial Arts Fusion will naturally not be an issue.

Though he hasn’t tried yet, it’s no longer difficult; it’s only a matter of time for refinement.

Once he exits the Ice Emperor Palace, he can begin experimenting with truly fusing his various Martial Arts in practice.

Such as the fusion of Poison Dao with Sword Dao, Poison Dao with Fire Dao, and Sword Dao with other formidable Fire Daos, etc.

"Heading to the Demon Domain, I have a greater grasp now."

"Once various Martial Arts are all fused, even without any augmentations, without suffering any backlash, I’ll have the power to compete with those Old Monsters."

Xiao Yi murmured to himself a few times, clenching his fist tightly.

Strength is the best guarantee.

From today onwards, Xiao Yi also counts as having the capital to traverse the continent fearlessly.

...

Xiao Yi turned and left, retracing the Netherworld Road with ease.

Around him, there was no further invasion of wind and snow, no pressure whatsoever.

Xiao Yi’s face returned to a calm and composed expression as he briskly made his way back.

However, he didn’t notice that behind him, the massive flame body was mildly and strangely pulsating.

Beyond the flames, wisps of astonishing yet visually elusive spatial fluctuations trembled continuously.

Only, these tremors emitted no sound whatsoever.

...

In a certain place in the world, pitch black, eerily cold.

In the darkness, a rigid and misty voice suddenly echoed, carrying joy and excitement.

"Our king is about to return."

Crack, crack... In the darkness, sounds like stone walls breaking echoed.

Bouts of Yin Wind, bouts of howling, accompanied the sound of shattering walls, as if a moment of frenzied dance by demons.

Those ancient auras, any one of them could be more ancient by hundreds or thousands of times than the Ice Venerate.

Those howling sounds were filled with shock, reverence, and a chilling melancholy.

All the owners of these howling voices stared at a corner of the pitch-black world, where the only light among the blackness was located.

The light was quite dim, coming from a grotesque yet ancient and extraordinary throne.

On the throne lay emptiness.

But at that moment, the initially rigid and misty voice suddenly transformed into ferociousness and fury.

"Why? The Netherworld Lord clearly came back; why not enter?"

"Outside the Netherworld Gate, it’s evidently the aura of the Netherworld Lord; why... master... why..."

The rigid voice gradually came to a halt.

The howling sounds turned to silence.

Everything returned to darkness, to calmness in an instant.
