Chapter 1165: Chapter 1165: Thorough Restoration
A few minutes later, the power within the great hall was completely absorbed by Xiao Yi.
Bang...
An aura of breakthrough erupted from Xiao Yi.
"Saint Realm Ninth Layer, finally reached," Xiao Yi muttered to himself.
He was already at the Saint Realm Eighth Layer, only waiting to fully comprehend the Martial Arts of Golden Flame and the Golden Flame Sacred Fire before breaking through.
In fact, on his journey to the Four-direction Dangerous Land, he had already fully comprehended both types of martial arts.
However, he hadn’t had the opportunity for a breakthrough.
Now, it happened to be the perfect time for one.
Meanwhile, the massive power he had just absorbed hadn’t been completely consumed, and there was still plenty left.
Xiao Yi pondered for a moment.
Such vast power was actually enough for him to break through to the Saint Realm Peak or even to the Half-step Saint King Realm.
However, breaking through one layer of cultivation now, even reaching the Half-step Saint King Realm, wouldn’t significantly increase his strength.
Unless he could condense the Ice Mountain Fire Sea.
To transform the Primordial Power at the Saint Realm level into Solid Elemental Power, and to reach a size of 3,333 zhang.
This power was not enough.
"Forget it, there’s no rush to break through." Xiao Yi shook his head.
Condensing the Ice Mountain Fire Sea would take a lot of time.
Xiao Yi sat cross-legged but didn’t start cultivating; instead, he took out the Star Illusion Gloves.
Last time, he planned to fully repair the Star Illusion Gloves, but Huo’er’s accident disrupted that.
Then, he was in a hurry to travel, so he temporarily put it aside.
During these six months of training, he hadn’t found the opportunity to repair them.
After all, condensing starlight required a massive amount of Primordial Power.
Now, being inside the Ice Venerate Hall, he couldn’t really condense and call down the starlight.
In this world, there are various powerful barriers and formations and so on, many of them.
But there is one thing that can ignore any barriers or formations.
That is the Heaven and Earth Martial Arts Power, not those controlled by martial artists but those contained in the world.
Those are the true Power of Heaven and Earth Rules, superior to all.
And the only thing that can surpass the Power of Heaven and Earth Rules is the Martial God.
Besides that, nothing can ignore barriers or formations unless one’s strength far exceeds those barriers or formations.
Xiao Yi naturally couldn’t surpass the barriers in the Ice Venerate Hall.
Hence, starlight couldn’t be condensed and summoned.
Bang... With a wave of Xiao Yi’s hand, a burst of flame condensed and then shot towards the Star Illusion Gloves.
The flame, like starlight, was dazzling beyond compare.
This was not the true Star Illusion Fire, but a Starlight Fire condensed by Xiao Yi using the Star Illusion Sword Technique.
The effect was the same as the summoned starlight.
Xiao Yi quickly drove the massive power inside him, continuously condensing Starlight Fire.
The damage on the Star Illusion Gloves was also being rapidly repaired.
His intuition told Xiao Yi that he didn’t have much time.
So he sped up his efforts.
A flash of light in his hand, several pellets were thrown into his mouth.
Then more... dozens more...
A full four hours later.
After almost exhausting the massive power within him and consuming large amounts of elixirs.
The Star Illusion Gloves before him gradually emitted a shocking aura.
Another few minutes, Xiao Yi stopped his actions.
"Phew." Xiao Yi took a deep breath.
The Star Illusion Gloves before him were now completely repaired.
Xiao Yi put them on his hand, clearly feeling the incredible power on the gloves.
"This is the true power a Mid-grade Holy Artifact should have," Xiao Yi murmured to himself.
...
At the same time, outside the Ice Venerate Hall.
The young man in white suddenly opened his eyes, "Finally fully comprehended."
"As expected of the Ice Venerate Token left by the Ice Venerate Ancestor; even with my talent, it took almost three hours to fully comprehend it."
"However..." A peculiar joy flashed across the face of the young man in white.
"I didn’t expect there to be such a thing left inside the Ice Venerate Hall, the Ice Netherworld Ghost Fire."
This last line, the young man in white spoke in a low voice.
Beside him, Chen Xing smiled obsequiously, "Venerable Envoy, have you comprehended it?"
"Mm." The young man in white nodded, stood up, and said, "Let’s go."
The young man in white quickly walked toward the Ice Venerate Hall.
The surrounding martial artists followed suit.
Chen Xing was all smiles, secretly thinking to himself, "This time, to have the Venerable Envoy from the Ice Emperor Palace owe me a favor, I might be able to get into the Ice Emperor Palace to train in the future."
"Most importantly, that despicable Yi Xiao is finally dead."
"I shall be the one to collect your corpse."
Chen Xing sneered coldly.
Outside the Ice Venerate Hall, the young man in white brandished the ancient Ice Venerate Token.
The Ice Venerate Token was originated inside the Ice Venerate Hall, and it also served as the ’key’ to open the Ice Venerate Hall.
"Open the Ice Venerate Hall."
Bang... With a loud explosion.
The massive barrier outside the Ice Venerate Hall instantly collapsed.
...
Inside the Ice Venerate Hall, Xiao Yi had successfully completed the repair.
After donning the Star Illusion Gloves, he turned and left.
The Star Illusion Gloves, due to being previously damaged, had their appearance slightly altered during the repair.
Even while wearing them, he wasn’t afraid of being recognized.
Of course, probably no one would recognize them, as the Star Illusion Gloves were lost for many years, damaged for many more, and ignored by everyone.
Xiao Yi had just stepped out of the Ice Nether Hall.
Ahead, a vast number of martial artist auras could already be felt.
Almost at the moment these auras were sensed, a figure in white swiftly appeared before the Ice Nether Hall.
"Hmm?" The figure in white was originally full of joy, but upon seeing Xiao Yi outside the Ice Nether Hall, the smile on his face suddenly froze.
"Yi Xiao?"
The young man in white’s eyes filled with shock, then turned cold.
"How is it possible, even after taking two of my palms, you didn’t die?"
The young man in white said, glancing into the Ice Nether Hall.
Inside the Ice Nether Hall, it was now completely empty.
"The Ice Netherworld Ghost Fire, and the other flames, were they taken by you?" The face of the young man in white changed dramatically, then gritted his teeth.
He had rushed to the Ice Nether Hall for the Ice Netherworld Ghost Fire.
But now, not only was the person he thought was dead not dead, the Ice Netherworld Ghost Fire he eagerly anticipated was also gone.
"Despicable Xiao Yi, you still live?"
The next moment, Chen Xing also arrived, and upon seeing Xiao Yi, shouted coldly.
"Seize this fiend!"
Chen Xing roared, and more than a dozen martial artists from the Dominating Star Mansion sprang into action.
Xiao Yi shook his head, his eyes cold as ever, "This time, you won’t have a chance."
Bang... Xiao Yi instantly conjured a flame.
The flame, entirely blue-white, emitted an extreme chill.
Roar... A blue-white fire dragon, like a fierce beast born from the netherworld, ferociously charged out.
Wherever the blue-white fire dragon passed, everything froze.
Including those dozen or so martial artists from the Dominating Star Mansion, including several strong Saint King Realm peak experts.
Hiss...
At the same time, within the ice seal, several martial artists from the Dominating Star Mansion widened their eyes.
A faint hissing sound echoed, and within the ice seal, the true power of the fire was contained.
"How is this possible?" Chen Xing’s face changed dramatically, "What an eerie flame."
"Ice Emperor Palm." The young man in white immediately used the Ice Emperor Palm.
