Martial Conquest of the Nine Desolates
Chapter 193 - 191: The Peak Battle

Chapter 193: Chapter 191: The Peak Battle

The birth of the five young supremes set the Imperial City abuzz with excitement, their clamor piercing the skies and overshadowing the shock brought by Wang Lin and Xiao Ye.

These five represented the pinnacle of the Black Dragon Country’s younger generation, having stood out from countless competitors, they stood at the absolute peak, looked up to by all.

"Quick, look! Xiao Ye is heading towards the first arena, could it be that he intends to challenge Crown Prince Long Chen?" Suddenly, a martial artist’s eyes widened.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone’s gaze turned toward the heavens, and the arena fell into a deathly silence, which was then broken by a burst of astonished cries.

Long Chen, being the heir of the royal family, possessed extraordinary talent and was nurtured with the royal resources. He was about to become the strongest Xuanwu Realm warrior in the history of Black Dragon Country, shrouded in mystery.

Xiao Ye, like a comet, rose powerfully, arguably the biggest dark horse in this Heavenly Pride Battle, cultivating the Empress’s Innate Technique to the extent of the Four Cauldrons Emerge, his natural talent surpassing his peers, standing among the ranks of the first-class Innate Limit.

The two of them could be called the strongest of Black Dragon Country’s young generation. Their confrontation was absolutely thrilling and peerless!

"Xiao Ye and Long Chen, who exactly is the top young supreme?" The crowd cheered, excited and thrilled to witness such a battle.

Many martial artists stood up and hurried to the Imperial Palace, eager to have a clearer view of this showdown.

In the Imperial Palace too, an uproar filled the air, even the faces of the Xuanwu Realm warriors showed interest. They hurriedly urged their sect’s young talents to pay close attention to the battle, absorb the combat experience from the two.

Naturally, these young prodigies nodded furiously. Sometimes watching a battle between strong fighters could inspire a martial artist and help them break through their limits, an opportunity that should not be missed.

Long Chen, with his hands behind his back, his purple robe fluttering, his ink-like long hair wildly dancing in the wind, appeared heroic and extraordinary, looking down upon the lower-ranking supreme arena.

He stood there casually, like a True Dragon coiling around himself, causing the wind and clouds to surge endlessly. He was the one and only protagonist in this piece of heaven and earth, others merely supporting characters.

"Xiao Ye!"

When Long Chen saw Xiao Ye flying towards him, his eyes sharpened like a knife’s edge, almost able to pierce through the flesh of others.

"Long Chen!"

Xiao Ye landed on the first arena, dazzling divine light shooting out from his pitch-black pupils, colliding with Long Chen’s sharp gaze. The ensuing tremors in the void interwove into rippling waves, spreading outwards in all directions.

The two peak fighters had yet to exchange blows, but their contest of aura had already begun.

"Before participating in the Heavenly Pride Battle, I was very disappointed with the younger generation of Black Dragon Country. I was too lonely," Long Chen’s gaze was like a torch, his casual tone causing the void to tremble.

The young prodigies in the Imperial Palace forced a smile upon hearing Long Chen’s words. With their cultivation, to only receive such an assessment from Long Chen was quite demoralizing.

"However, I’m fortunate that you appeared. Maybe you can end my loneliness and be a worthy opponent for me, Long Chen," a hint of a smile appeared on Long Chen’s handsome and compelling face.

If it were anyone else, they would be extremely excited to receive such a comment from Long Chen. However, Xiao Ye merely responded with a faint smile.

"I share your sentiment."

Because of invincibility, thus loneliness.

The reason Xiao Ye challenged Long Chen was his desire to find a worthy opponent among his peers, capable of giving his all in battle - a feeling that only he and Long Chen could understand.

He felt so, and so did Long Chen.

"Ha ha!"

Long Chen and Xiao Ye suddenly laughed together, their laughter wild and domineering, expressing the joy of meeting a true opponent.

"Fight!"

"Fight!"

Both spoke almost at the same time. Encountering an opponent worth fighting with all their might, what need for hesitation? The peak battle was on, and the victor would be king!

Boom, boom, boom!

Both of them erupted with a menacing and heaven-reaching aura in unison, submerging the entire arena, as if myriad thunderclaps were crushing the void.

The platform underneath shone brightly, struggling to withstand the power fluctuations from both fighters.

"Heaven and Earth Cage!"

Long Chen made the first move, his hands emitting a blazing light that evolved into a vast small world, within which could be seen ferocious beasts of the Innate Limit roaring at the heavens.

This was Long Chen practicing a Fifth Grade Combat Technique, capable of manifesting beasts to attack enemies, having reached the Perfection Level, its power exceedingly terrifying.

Roar!

Roar!

...

Nearly fifty Innate Limit ferocious beasts broke free from the small world, their bodies constructed of pure force covering the sky, charging towards Xiao Ye.

"So powerful!"

What without pathway, Xue Zhan, and Jiang Yunfan, who were on the supreme arena, no longer dared to stay. They leaped off the platform and stood on the ground, looking up in awe.

Long Chen’s presence filled them with fear; had it been them, they likely would have been defeated in a single move.

"Sun and Moon Seal Technique, Great Sun Seal!"

Facing Long Chen, he didn’t dare hold back, immediately motivating his strongest combat technique, his hand slapped forward, and a proud sun blasted towards the onrushing beasts.

Almost at the same time, Xiao Ye’s Seal Technique changed.

"Sun and Moon Seal Technique, Lonely Moon Seal!" Xiao Ye let out a long howl as a moon-like silver disk rose from his palm, radiating a serene light.

Swish, swish, swish!

As the Lonely Moon appeared in an instant, countless beams of light, as sharp as sword Qi, radiated outwards, perforating the ferocious beasts that charged toward it one after another, before dissolving into sparkling points and vanishing into the void.

"Die, all of you!"

Xiao Ye quickly changed the position of his hands; one hand supported the Great Sun Seal while the other held the Lonely Moon Seal. The sun and the moon shone in rivalry, suppressing all enemies!

At this moment, the power of the Sun and Moon Seal Technique, this set of combat techniques, was brought to its peak by Xiao Ye, reaching a level of perfection. It was believed that even the Sect Hierarch of the Sun and Moon Sect could not perform better than Xiao Ye.

Boom, boom, boom!

Countless ferocious beasts were annihilated into nothingness before they could even reach Xiao Ye; the void trembled continuously, as if it were on the verge of collapse, with explosions ringing incessantly in the ears, and the battle waves swept across the Nine-layered Heaven.

When everything returned to calm, Xiao Ye was pushed back three steps, his eyes ablaze, his entire body’s blood surging with fervor.

"What a terrifying opponent!"

He felt that Long Chen’s Fifth Grade Combat Technique was no less powerful than the Sun and Moon Seal Technique, both of which were of the topmost level and also cultivated to perfection.

This was the first time he encountered a peer who had also cultivated a Fifth Grade Combat Technique to the level of perfection.

The reason Xiao Ye was pushed back was because his Innate True Qi was not yet complete, so he did not feel discouraged.

The young elite talents in the Imperial Palace looked dazed; these two were too strong, far exceeding their imagination.

"It’s the Sun and Moon Seal Technique!" He Mo’s fists cracked with the intensity of his grip.

With his intelligence, of course, he could guess that Xiao Ye had obtained it from He Wufa, which reminded him of his tragically deceased son.

"This kid’s talent is too terrifying; he can actually cultivate the Sun and Moon Seal Technique to a level of perfection!" He Mo’s breathing became heavy, and no longer could he suppress his murderous intent.

An enemy not only practiced the supreme technique of the Sun and Moon Sect but also cultivated it to the highest realm. This was a huge disgrace for the Sun and Moon Sect!

Such a terrifying enemy, he absolutely could not allow to continue to exist in the world.

...

Above the heavens, on the Supreme Arena.

"Xiao Ye, your Innate True Qi is after all not yet perfect. You should combine your Invincible Body to fight me at my peak, let me witness something extraordinary about the Empress Technique," Long Chen said, staring at Xiao Ye, exhibiting an invincible will.

"Fine!"

He was a worthy opponent for Xiao Ye to fully engage in battle; without hesitation, Xiao Ye activated the Four Tripod Heavenly Technique, amplifying his strength twofold.

Boom!

A vast surge of Blood Qi burst forth from Xiao Ye’s body, the huge column of light piercing the skies, stirring the winds and clouds, as if a God Demon had awakened.

"Fighting Fist Technique!"

Xiao Ye roared, his palms clenched to fists as he engaged Long Chen in combat, the strength around his body rolling, the four giant cauldrons emerging, shifting stars and heavens, shattering the void.

"Heaven and Earth Cage!"

Once again, Long Chen activated the Fifth Grade Combat Technique at perfection level, but it could not withstand Xiao Ye’s attacks. The powerful bodies of the ferocious beasts quickly turned into nothingness.

With a long howl from Xiao Ye, his black hair dancing wildly, he charged forward in high spirits, even piercing through the bodies of the First-class Innate Limit ferocious beasts that Long Chen had conjured, dissolving them into the void.

"Xiao Ye is too strong!"

The young elites within the Imperial Palace were thoroughly shocked; were they about to witness Xiao Ye defeating Long Chen, ascending to the first Supreme position?

Inside and outside the Imperial City, there was a stir, everyone’s gazes were glued to Xiao Ye’s figure, fearing to miss any splendid moments.

"It’s impossible; you’re all thinking too simply!"

"Long Chen, as the foremost among the young generation of Black Dragon Country and also known as the soon-to-be youngest-strongest of the Xuanwu Realm, how could he possess merely this much skill?" someone said.

Indeed, Long Chen’s expression had not changed much from the beginning to the end, as if he possessed a great amount of confidence.

On the arena above, Xiao Ye stopped his steps and looked deeply at Long Chen, "Long Chen, up to now, are you still intent on hiding your strength?"

He was not a fool; of course, he could guess that Long Chen’s strongest move had not yet been unleashed.

Long Chen responded to these words with a radiant smile.

At that moment, the howling winds above the sky suddenly stopped, and a heavy atmosphere enveloped the area.

"I never thought that among the young generation of Black Dragon Country, there would be someone who could make me unleash all of my strength," Long Chen said, stepping forward towards Xiao Ye as he spoke.

"Xiao Ye, if I’m not mistaken, you should have used the Bodhi Leaf, right?" Long Chen spoke indifferently.

"Bodhi Leaf!" Xiao Ye’s heart tightened. Such a precious treasure, who among the Innate Martial Artists wouldn’t covet it, and who would talk about it so casually?

"There’s no need to be nervous, for I have also taken it, and not just one but five pieces, which are the treasured collection of our Royal Family," Long Chen said with a faint smile.

Boom, boom, boom!

No sooner had his words fallen than an unparalleled Martial Arts True Intent burst forth from Long Chen’s body, as if connecting Heaven and Earth, creating an oppressive Suppression that made Xiao Ye feel as if he were facing a Xuanwu Realm powerhouse.

"90% Martial Arts True Intent!" Feeling the intensity of that Martial Arts True Intent, Xiao Ye was greatly startled, his eyes filled with grave seriousness.

No wonder Long Chen was known to be the youngest Xuanwu Realm powerhouse of Black Dragon Country.
