Martial Conquest of the Nine Desolates

Chapter 1570 - 1553: Waiting for the Dark Emperor (Happy Dragon Boat Festival!)

"Whether it’s fusing the past Tao and Law or comprehending the four kinds of Mysterious to the Perfect Realm, my strength will undergo another Transformation.""The Three Alliances Domain is where I founded the Wuji Sect; here, amidst the Dark Turmoil, I shall carve out a bloody path to stand firm."

Xiao Ye stood tall, walking alone in the Three Alliances Domain, exceptionally conspicuous amidst the Dark Turmoil.

Madness!

Utter madness!

Xiao Ye’s current strength is indeed formidable, comparable to a Middle-level Half Emperor.

The Five Sealed Emperor Strong People are terrifying, but as long as he doesn’t confront them prematurely, the danger is significantly reduced.

Xiao Ye traveled through the Three Alliances Domain, using his Mortal Body to insightfully comprehend the Half Emperor Realm, deepening his Martial Arts Enlightenment, preparing to fuse the past Tao and Law.

Simultaneously, he utilized the Time Tower, furthering his comprehension of the Profound Mysteries of Wood and Earth, reminiscent of the time in the Emperor World.

But this time was different.

This time, with the heart of Slaughter, he directly faced the Dark Emperor Divine Dynasty.

Today, the Three Alliances Domain is one of the territories of the Dark Emperor Divine Dynasty, naturally filled with their Martial Artists, who are constantly hunting Central State Martial Artists.

Whenever Xiao Ye encountered Martial Artists from the Dark Emperor Divine Dynasty, he showed no mercy, killing them all without hiding his identity, walking in his true form.

He even encountered a Half Emperor from the Dark Emperor Divine Dynasty.

However, this Half Emperor was merely an Early Stage Half Emperor, and Xiao Ye severely injured him, forcing the use of a secret technique to escape.

In the Three Alliances Domain, Xiao Ye was like revisiting an old haunt, having been to many places and visited the residences of some old friends, but all was vicissitudinous.

If Xiao Ye’s actions from the border of the Fengyun Domain to the Three Alliances Domain hadn’t attracted much attention, and were merely thought to be a counter-attack against the Dark Emperor Divine Dynasty’s attempts on his life,

then his assault on the Dark Emperor Divine Dynasty’s strongmen within the Three Alliances Domain shook the world!

This was blatant provocation!

"Heavens, what is Master Xiao Ye trying to do? Is he provoking the Dark Emperor, intending to duel with him? Doesn’t he know the Dark Emperor Divine Dynasty is hunting him everywhere?"

"No, the Five Sealed Emperor Strong People are not opponents Master Xiao Ye can contend with; perhaps out of compassion, Master Xiao Ye merely wants to save the Central State Martial Artists from the Dark Emperor Divine Dynasty’s massacre."

"Alas, in these chaotic times, only someone like Master Xiao Ye would stand up for the world’s common people."

"Master Xiao Ye’s righteousness will be remembered by us all!"

...

The Central State Martial Artists marveled.

Many Martial Artists, who had previously been envious of Xiao Ye, were now won over.

Given Xiao Ye’s talent and achievements, aside from the Dark Emperor, the other Four Sealed Emperors would all open their doors to him.

But Xiao Ye chose otherwise, standing against the Dark Emperor Divine Dynasty; such courage and resolve are unparalleled on the True Spirit Continent.

Simultaneously, they also realized that Xiao Ye’s actions would undoubtedly provoke the Dark Emperor Divine Dynasty’s wrath, and even if the Dark Emperor wouldn’t come personally, his Half Emperors wouldn’t sit idly by.

Fengyun Domain, a solemn aura filled a bronze palace.

The place was shrouded in mist, exuding grandeur, with faint dragon roars resonating.

"Lord Aisi, it’s confirmed, Xiao Ye is indeed in the Three Alliances Domain, he hasn’t left."

Suddenly, a Martial Artist’s figure soared into the air, knelt on one knee before the bronze palace, and spoke respectfully.

"Hmph, after killing so many of our Dark Emperor Divine Dynasty’s Martial Artists, he still dares remain in the Three Alliances Domain? Waiting for our strongmen to come for him?"

"This kid is truly arrogant."

"Very well, once Xiao Ye’s position is confirmed, I will personally capture him and present him to the Dark Emperor."

The bronze palace trembled, bursting with overwhelming murderous intent, the aura of a Half Emperor shattering toward the sky, as if a Divine entity were awakening.

...

Time flew by, a month later.

Three Alliances Domain.

An ancient city wall in the afterglow of sunset emanated a profound feeling of antiquity, like an old man narrating tales of former glory.

The city had become a ruin, the walls crumbling, the palaces reduced to rubble.

Looking upon the city, a faint scent of blood lingered, unwilling to disperse, with dried blood barely visible on the ground.

From a bird’s eye view, one would see a massive handprint spanning dozens of miles, hitting the city’s center, forming a sunken basin.

From the giant handprint, a chilling suppression was palpable.

"Alas, Sky Sword City, once the headquarters of the Wuji Sect, how prosperous it was."

"But now, it has turned into a deserted wasteland, untouched, and because of the Dark Emperor Divine Dynasty, no one dares approach."

An elder looked longingly at Sky Sword City, lamenting.

Indeed!

This city was Sky Sword City, the former headquarters of the Wuji Sect.

But during the Dark Turmoil, the Dark Emperor struck from afar, turning it into ruin.

At that moment—

Whoosh!

A figure suddenly streaked across the sky, descending upon the ruins of Sky Sword City, causing the elder’s eyes to widen in disbelief.

The Dark Emperor had personally attacked, razing the Wuji Sect, making Sky Sword City a forbidden land, only to be admired from afar.

Who was bold enough?

To dare fly directly into Sky Sword City?

"Wuji Mansion..."

Amidst the ruins of Sky Sword City, Xiao Ye, hair flowing, walked with ease, observing the familiar scene turned to desolation, yet his heart remained extraordinarily calm.

Here, lay the flesh and blood of old friends.

"During this time, I’ve killed so many of the Dark Emperor Divine Dynasty’s Martial Artists; they must be enraged now."

"And my Martial Arts Enlightenment should suffice to attempt the fusion of past Tao and Law."

"This is where my Wuji Sect was destroyed; here, I shall resurrect it, allowing the unjustly slain spirits to witness."

Xiao Ye surveyed the surroundings, raising his hand as the Earth’s Profound Mysteries surged skyward, causing the ground to crack, earth to churn, and the surface to vibrate violently.

In a short span of time, a towering peak rose from Sky Sword City’s ruins.

Xiao Ye’s figure flashed, ascending to the peak’s summit, where he sat cross-legged, gazing into the distance.

"Dark Emperor Divine Dynasty, I, Xiao Ye, await your arrival."

"Should the Dark Emperor arrive, I will summon my Master to suppress you, ensuring your return is impossible; if merely a Half-step Emperor arrives, then I will achieve brilliance through slaughter, attempting to fuse the past Tao and Law, and slay them."

Xiao Ye’s eyes erupted with brilliant light.
