Martial Conquest of the Nine Desolates

Chapter 1558 - 1541: Slaughter Shakes Heaven and Earth

This feeling is like returning to the era before the dark turmoil when the Four Great Emperor’s Sons were suppressed by Xiao Ye and couldn’t lift their heads.His body started to tremble slightly.

"Xiao Ye, do you think I, as the Domain Lord, would really give you such a chance?"

The Unrivaled Domain Master felt inexplicably flustered in his heart, and a terrifying killing intent exploded, pointing his sword at Xiao Ye in the Second Heroic Pass.

He never wanted to return to those times.

"Domain Lord, don’t be reckless."

"Xiao Ye’s fortune is indeed extraordinary; we don’t know where he acquired so many Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures."

"But by forcibly boosting his cultivation, his foundation is unstable, it will only backfire, and what kind of waves can he stir up?"

"There are countless eyes on us now, we shouldn’t humiliate ourselves and tarnish the reputation of the Lord Heavenly Emperor by taking action while Xiao Ye is making his breakthrough."

"It’s better to give him this opportunity, let him forcibly enhance his cultivation and then act, showing him the vast gap between him and you, Domain Lord."

Just as the Unrivaled Domain Master was about to lose his control and take action, a bald elder soared into the sky, emanating a Half-Emperor’s suppression, and spoke.

These words immediately made the Unrivaled Domain Master tremble, and the terrifying killing intent vanished.

"Thank you Elder Jiang for the reminder, I was out of line." The Unrivaled Domain Master took a deep breath, becoming calm, but the cold light in his eyes was surging.

Rumble!

In the city within the Second Heroic Pass, powerful momentum burst forth, causing Heaven and Earth to tremble uneasily, while the aura around Xiao Ye continued to surge.

After the surrounding martial artists calmed down, many discordant sounds emerged.

Who was Xiao Ye before?

The Sect Leader of Wuji Sect standing at the pinnacle of the True Spirit Continent, poised to create a glorious era of emperorship, even the Four Great Emperor Domains treated him with courtesy.

Such a figure, although his elegance faded, his pride remained unchanged, naturally unwilling to bow under the suppression of the Unrivaled Emperor Domain.

But now, Xiao Ye is relying on these Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures to forcibly boost his cultivation—it’s merely an act of desperation.

No matter how strong Xiao Ye is, the decline in cultivation is evident, his former elegance is gone, and going against the Unrivaled Emperor Domain is no doubt like striking a stone with an egg.

Maybe, without the need for the Unrivaled Emperor Domain to act, Xiao Ye might become obsessed due to forcibly boosting his cultivation.

Such examples are abundant in the martial arts history of the True Spirit Continent, mostly occurring with geniuses.

Yet, under many mocking gazes, Xiao Ye’s expression remained calm, and his Dharma Image was solemn.

The Emperor Realm behind him, resembling a Bright Moon, roared, releasing increasingly dazzling light, casting him as a Heavenly God.

"Damn, this guy’s cultivation has reached Emperor Realm level nine late stage, yet shows no signs of losing control..."

A short-haired man muttered to himself.

Just his words ended—

Crash!

Only to see the Ancient Tower beneath Xiao Ye tremble, horrifying cracks spread outward in all directions.

Meanwhile, the Emperor Realm behind Xiao Ye expanded seven or eight times, breaking through the constraints of Heaven and Earth, seemingly ascending, the released Emperor Martial Power filled with a sense of perfection, possessing the might to shock the world, forcing nearby martial artists to retreat violently, their breath growing difficult, faces filled with daze.

At this moment, Xiao Ye’s cultivation...

Emperor Peak!

How long has it been?

An hour hasn’t even passed!

Xiao Ye’s cultivation soared from the early stage of Emperor Realm level six across dozens of minor realms to reach Emperor Peak!

Not to mention anything else, owning such a cultivation on the entire True Spirit Continent is a rarity.

Most importantly, Xiao Ye’s breakthrough seemed to be a natural progression, without any boundary barrier, let alone losing control.

"Big Brother!"

Xiao Fan, Zhuang Zhou, and Prince Donghuang near the Stone Tower were also shaken back, their faces full of shock.

"I... have a bad feeling, Xiao Ye seems to be advancing to the Half-Emperor Realm." An ancient relic among the crowd said dazedly.

Half-Emperor Realm?

The surrounding martial artists’ hearts skipped a beat, someone was prepared to retort—

Whoosh!

Only to see Xiao Ye seated atop the Ancient Tower, suddenly open his eyes and bellow.

His pupils appeared blood-red, even his hair turned crimson, his posture tall and straight, as the vast Slaughter Principle swept forth, seemingly piercing through Heaven and Earth, weaving slaughter lotuses in the void.

From afar, one could see the entire Second Heroic Pass has transformed into a colossal slaughter lotus, crowded with stars, deeply impressive.

And Xiao Ye stood at the bud’s center, the gigantic lotus gently swaying, as if nurturing a divine being, ready to bloom, frightening power surged through all corners of the Ten Great Passes.

"I, Xiao Ye, today aim to achieve Half-Emperor through slaughter, to prove my martial arts." Xiao Ye stood suspended in mid-air, murderous intent like an ocean, coldly speaking.

At Xiao Ye’s current height, he already surpassed martial arts secret manuals, even able to modify cultivation techniques, how could he be limited by the mere Bright Moon Emperor Technique’s boundary barrier?

Using Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures to boost cultivation, for Xiao Ye, is a piece of cake.

These years of cultivation with a mortal body, relying on the Time Tower, he accumulated deeply in the Slaughter Principle, coupled with insights from the Ten Great Passes, fully qualifying to challenge the Half-Emperor.

"Those who insult me, kill!"

"Those who humiliate me, kill!"

"Those who defy my martial arts, kill!"

...

Xiao Ye’s voice was icy cold, with each syllable pronounced, the killing intent intensified, and the huge bud opened further.

The seventy-ninth level of Slaughter Principle was transforming.

In the end, his voice crashed like a heavy hammer in every martial artist’s mind, even the Titled Emperor Martial level martial artists were bleeding from their seven orifices.

"Is this the Slaughter Principle?"

"So...so terrifying!"

"Unexpectedly, Xiao Ye’s Slaughter Principle has reached this realm, his genius aura hasn’t faded but shines even brighter than before."

...

A deep chill, like a storm, swept through every martial artist’s heart.

This was fear.

They could no longer utter a word, only gazed blankly at the young figure, like a Killing God descending.

"Xiao Ye..."

"Are you actually aiming for the Half-Emperor realm?" In the First Heroic Pass, the Unrivaled Domain Master’s pupils contracted vehemently, even his breathing became heavy.

He finally understood why Xiao Ye thought he couldn’t sit still.

Xiao Ye, who was once a fierce figure capable of slaughtering Half-Emperors while just in the Emperor Martial Realm.

Despite switching cultivation techniques, during the Half-Emperor attempt, who could remain calm?

The key is, he clearly had plenty of chances to interrupt Xiao Ye!

"Elder Jiang, if our domain suffers losses this time, I will heavily punish you!"

The Unrivaled Domain Master glanced at the Half-Emperor who had previously stopped him, shouting angrily, he couldn’t care anymore, he stepped forward and rushed toward the Second Heroic Pass.

"The Unrivaled Domain Master is coming!"

The martial artists in the Second Heroic Pass exclaimed in surprise.

"Unrivaled Emperor’s son, you couldn’t hold back after all? How does it feel to tear off your own disguise?"

"Today, I, Xiao Ye, will step on your corpse to ascend to the Half-Emperor position!" Xiao Ye’s eyes coldly gazed.
