Chapter 1557 - 1540: Assaulting the Half-Emperor Realm
Xiao Ye journeyed in reverse through the Ten Great Passes, killing any martial artist who stepped forth to block him with just a lift of his hand, painting the path of the passes in blood.Though his aura seemed ordinary, it shook the entire sky of stars, as if he could roar and sunder mountains and rivers, cover the sky with one hand, leaving countless martial artists in a daze, their backs covered in cold sweat.
This was provocation!
Provocation against the majesty of the Unrivaled Emperor Domain!
Now, with Xiao Fan and two others, Xiao Ye had already arrived at the Second Heroic Pass, standing opposite the First Heroic Pass.
The Unrivaled Emperor Domain swiftly reacted as well.
Besides the First Heroic Pass, where a half-step Great Emperor expert was suppressing the area, it was rumored that the Unrivaled Domain Master had also personally arrived!
An unseen tension spread like gunpowder, giving the impression of an impending storm; martial artists from the rear passes gathered, debating intensely.
"Ye Zi, have you lost your mind?"
At this moment, the three, including Prince Donghuang, were stupefied, as if petrified, their faces full of disbelief.
Although during this journey, Xiao Ye exhibited truly shocking strength, crossing realms and breaking barriers, able to suppress and kill an Invincible Titled Emperor Martial with ease, outstanding and unmatched, even more dazzling than the Great Emperor in his youth.
But Xiao Ye’s cultivation was only at the Emperor Sixth Level, that’s a fact, far from the Half-step Emperor Realm, so how could he break through?
Yet, at this moment, Xiao Ye ignored the queries of the three around him, stepping through the void, his hair flying chaotically, as if sensing something, his deep eyes traversing space, gazing at the Ten Great Passes and the Starting Pass.
The First Heroic Pass had transformed into a forbidden land at this time.
There, clouds and mist swirled, like a fairyland, yet enveloped with a terrifying killing intent, several half-step level auras surging, piercing through the Nine Heavens, even martial artists in the Second Heroic Pass felt heavy.
It seemed that if they took one more step, the terrifying killing intent would crush them to dust.
But Xiao Ye’s gaze fell on a young figure in the First Heroic Pass.
This figure also stood in the air, handsome in appearance, wearing a splendid robe, a purple dragon crown on his head, long hair dancing in the wind, standing there with hands behind his back, exuding an aura as if he could draw all the stars in this vast universe towards him, the sun, moon, and stars all orbiting around him.
A terrifying aura was concealed and not released, as if he alone could block the path forward.
"The Unrivaled Domain Master has really come personally!"
"It’s said that after the Unrivaled Domain Master pledged allegiance to Lord Heavenly Emperor, he received help from him, and his strength advanced by leaps and bounds. I wonder if he has broken through to the Half-Emperor Realm?"
"Even if he hasn’t broken through to the half Emperor, he’s probably not far from it. Among the geniuses from before the age of Dark Turmoil, the Unrivaled Domain Master was considered first, even Master Xiao Ye had to give way."
...
Noticing this figure, the martial artists who rushed to the Second Heroic Pass were astounded.
As the authority enforcing the Ten Great Passes, Unrivaled Emperor Domain responded so quickly, it seems that Xiao Ye’s actions indeed angered them.
"Brother Xiao, I don’t wish to be your enemy, but you shouldn’t have advanced in reverse. As the Domain Master entrusted by Lord Heavenly Emperor, I manage the Ten Great Passes, and your actions have put me in a difficult position."
"You might as well retreat, turn around and continue forward. For the sake of us being geniuses of the same era, this Domain Master can let bygones be bygones."
The Unrivaled Domain Master gazed at Xiao Ye, sighing, his words, amplified, spread like thunder through the starry sky.
"Unrivaled Emperor’s son, perhaps your Unrivaled Emperor Domain should retreat. Otherwise, this time, it might just be overrun by me, Xiao."
Xiao Ye’s expression remained calm as he too spoke, his words spreading in the starry sky, replying to the other.
The Unrivaled Domain Master was clearly targeting him but pretended to be amiable in front of others, doing a perfect act, and naturally, Xiao Ye would not be polite either.
Hiss!
Upon hearing this, the surrounding martial artists gasped.
The Unrivaled Domain Master had expressed his stance, yet Xiao Ye remained so aggressive, even intending to overrun the Unrivaled Emperor Domain? Such audacity!
"It seems Brother Xiao is still very confident in his strength, then there’s nothing to be done."
"Brother Xiao, once you step out of the Second Heroic Pass, though my martial arts talent is not comparable to yours, I will have to personally act to erase you, otherwise, I cannot answer to Lord Heavenly Emperor."
However, the Unrivaled Domain Master showed no anger, his eyes even more fervent.
He had anticipated that with Xiao Ye’s personality, he would definitely refuse; this was precisely what he hoped to see.
"Oh?"
"What you mean is, you will wait for me to step out of the Second Heroic Pass before taking action? Fine, I hope you can hold yourself, not tear away your own facade."
Xiao Ye glanced at the Unrivaled Domain Master, then flickered, landing atop a stone tower in the Second Heroic Pass city.
"What is Xiao Ye planning to do?"
Everyone was full of doubt.
"Is elder brother going to assault the Half-step Emperor Realm?"
Xiao Fan, Zhuang Zhou, and Prince Donghuang, though also full of doubt in their hearts, quickly rushed up to secure the area around the stone tower.
"The heavenly materials and earthly treasures brought from the Emperor World are enough to let my cultivation soar to Emperor Peak in one go."
Xiao Ye’s hand brushed over his space ring, and immediately, various heavenly materials and earthly treasures, exuding rich fragrances and tremendous energy waves, were taken out by him, bursting with a glow that illuminated the entire Second Heroic Pass, bringing silence, making every martial artist’s heart jump fiercely.
"Oh heavens, so many heavenly materials and earthly treasures!"
"What level are these treasures at? Why do I feel that just by breathing lightly, my cultivation is increasing? It’s terrifying."
"These heavenly materials and earthly treasures have nearly vanished from the True Spirit Continent, yet they have heaven-defying effects on us Titled Emperor Martials!"
...
Moments later, exclamations arose, and in every martial artist’s eyes, a strong greedy glint flashed. If it weren’t for Xiao Ye’s previous slaughter to intimidate, who knows how many would have rushed forward.
Xiao Ye paid no heed to the commotion outside.
In the Emperor World, he had Xing Shuo help him discern the effects of the heavenly materials and earthly treasures in his territory, memorizing them.
His back manifested an Emperor Realm like a bright moon, with a wave of his hand, over a dozen heavenly materials and earthly treasures were devoured by the Emperor Realm, then directly refined.
The gap in cultivation now was negligible to him; he focused more on martial arts accumulation and inspiration, as he had the foundation to let his cultivation break through anytime he wished.
His actions, however, left those around him shocked.
Xiao Ye... what’s he doing?
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Xiao Ye’s Emperor Realm immediately began trembling, exuding an overwhelmingly terrifying aura, sweeping across the surroundings.
The heavenly materials and earthly treasures thrown into the Emperor Realm exploded like suns, releasing immensely pure energy, rapidly transforming the Emperor Realm.
Meanwhile, Xiao Ye’s cultivation surged as if on a rocket.
Emperor Sixth Level Mid Stage!
Emperor Sixth Level Late Stage!
Emperor Seventh Level Early Stage!
Emperor Seventh Level Mid Stage!
...
"This..."
Seeing Xiao Ye surge in such a violent way, the Second Heroic Pass fell into a deathly silence.
Above the sky of the First Heroic Pass.
Seeing the divine light enveloping the Second Heroic Pass, as if a divine was reviving, the Unrivaled Domain Master’s hand trembled, a sense of foreboding arising within him.
