Martial Conquest of the Nine Desolates
Chapter 264 - 262 You Are Scum

Chapter 264: Chapter 262 You Are Scum

"Haha, success!" Xiao Ye said excitedly, squinting his eyes as he looked on.

Whoosh!

The glow from the Blank Scroll became increasingly intense, eventually turning completely golden, transforming the entire room into a golden ocean, with a Sacred Sound resonating and lingering on.

"What a peculiar way to record!" Xiao Ye stared at the Blank Scroll before him.

According to what Tong Xuanzi said, using a Blank Scroll to record Combat Techniques is a method only ancient powers of the True Spirit Continent would adopt. Could it be that Yun Feiyang is someone from thousands of years ago?

What would the Body Combat Skills from thousands of years ago be like?

Whoosh!

As Xiao Ye pondered, the golden light on the Blank Scroll gradually receded.

"What kind of Body Combat Skill could it be?" Xiao Ye hurriedly looked closely.

At this moment, instead of being blank, the Scroll revealed rows of tiny writing emerging densely packed.

"Ten Thousand Refining Golden Body!"

When Xiao Ye saw the domineering name of this set of Body Combat Skills, his eyes couldn’t help but light up.

"It seems that this set of Body Combat Skills is absolutely very powerful!" Xiao Ye was enthralled by it.

It must be said that the content of this Combat Technique was immensely vast. Xiao Ye spent a whole day and night reading it through.

"What a terrifying Combat Technique!" Xiao Ye lifted his head, his face full of shock.

What does Ten Thousand Refining mean? The content on the Scroll provided a detailed explanation.

Ten Thousand Refining Golden Body treats the Physical Body as the material for forging a Weapon, integrating various Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures into one furnace, causing the body to undergo layer upon layer of Transformation and forging it into a Golden Body.

The most distinct feature of the Ten Thousand Refining Golden Body is its hardness!

At that time, every part of the body will be a Weapon, and even at the highest Realm, its hardness can be comparable to that of an Emperor Weapon, something even Emperor Realm Martial Artists cannot achieve, otherwise they would have no need to forge Weapons.

At the same time, it is very difficult for Martial Artists to destroy weapons of the same great Realm.

For example, Martial Artists in the Xuanwu Realm find it hard to destroy a Xuan Artifact, and those in the Void Martial Realm find it difficult to destroy a Void Artifact.

Of course, the process of cultivating this Combat Technique can be described as brutally inhumane, with immense pain involved and the whole body at risk of shattering.

It is precisely for this reason that the Ten Thousand Refining Golden Body has disappeared into obscurity on the True Spirit Continent, unknown to many.

"As expected, it hasn’t disappointed me. The strength of this Combat Technique far exceeds my imagination; I’ve truly hit the jackpot!" Xiao Ye couldn’t help but burst out laughing, automatically overlooking the pain in the cultivation process.

His cultivation of the Four Profound Treasure Technique has made his strength incredibly robust, far surpassing that of others.

If he succeeds in cultivating the Ten Thousand Refining Golden Body, with a greatly enhanced defensive power, he would have no more weaknesses.

By then, once the four Xuandans are simultaneously awakened, he would be invincible in his realm, with even a Heavenly Son finding it difficult to contend against him.

Such temptation, how could the pain in the process of cultivation possibly stop him?

"It’s a pity though, the Ten Thousand Refining Golden Body is divided into four levels, and what I have obtained is only the First Level, which can only make my body comparable to a Xuan Artifact," Xiao Ye felt somewhat regretful; the whereabouts of the other three levels were still unknown.

"Never mind, once I successfully cultivate the First Level, it will be enough to greatly increase my strength. By then, I could also comprehend the Fourth Martial Arts True Intent; maybe I could even spar with a Void Martial Realm Expert."

Xiao Ye’s eyes became incredibly sharp, and then he looked down again.

On the Scroll, a very detailed list of the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures required for cultivating the First Level of the Ten Thousand Refining Golden Body was depicted, dazzling Xiao Ye’s eyes.

"These Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, there are as many as eight kinds in total, and I haven’t heard of any of them. Could it be possible to find all of them in the abode of that Void Martial Realm expert?" Xiao Ye was obviously skeptical of Xuan Tongzi’s words.

"Unless it’s the abode left by Elder Gai Yun Feiyang, that’s more likely," Xiao Ye muttered to himself, then tucked away the Scroll.

Afterward, Xiao Ye released Jiang Xiaobai from the Space Ring.

"Wuu wuu!"

The little fellow had been cooped up in the Space Ring for so long, it was very discontent with Xiao Ye, immediately jumping onto his head and scratching wildly with its paws.

"Alright little guy, here are some Mid-grade Primordial Stones for you!"

Xiao Ye took out ten Mid-grade Primordial Stones, which calmed Little White down.

"Mid-grade Primordial Stones are already scarce, and now they’re to be given to this little Vampire!" Xiao Ye said with a wry smile.

However, Little White’s current strength was probably comparable to that of a Sixth Transition Xuanwu Late Stage Martial Artist already, with defense so abnormal that even Xiao Ye couldn’t break through.

A day later, Xiao Ye left Wind Wave City and flew westward.

That Void Martial Realm Expert’s abode was located in the middle part of the Xingyun Kingdom, fifty thousand miles away from here. With two months remaining, there was sufficient time, so Xiao Ye planned to travel and endure harsh cultivation at the same time.

After all, without enough strength, even if he obtained the treasures, they could end up being taken away by others in the end.

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, ten days had passed.

Whoosh whoosh––

On an unnamed hill, fierce winds howled at this moment. Over the vault of heaven, a dense mass of dark clouds gathered, heralding the imminent arrival of a storm.

A young man clad in a black robe, bearing a domineering battle blade on his back, sat cross-legged at the heart of the gale, immovable as a boulder.

Circling around him was a luminescence of azure light; each flash caused the surrounding wild winds to intensify.

Swish!

Suddenly, the youth in black opened his eyes, and a pair of piercing gazes cut through the void, striking awe into the hearts of those who beheld them.

At this moment, the howling gales ceased, and the brilliant sunlight pierced through the clouds, bathing the landscape below.

"Finally, I’ve broken through to the Fourth Transition Xuanwu Early Stage with the Wind Dark Pill!" The youth in black stood up, a confident smile on his face.

Needless to say, this youth in black was Xiao Ye.

On his journey to the cave dwelling of a Void Martial Realm expert, he spent half the time in cultivation. Eventually, among the three Xuandans, the Wind Dark Pill was the first to break through, greatly enhancing his overall strength.

"My Mid-Grade Primordial Stones are down to eight pieces left," Xiao Ye said with a wry smile on his face.

Although the density of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi in the True Spirit Continent was much higher than in the Yulan Domain, it still couldn’t compare to Mid-Grade Primordial Stones.

"Monkey, did you say that you found a young man cultivating here with Mid-Grade Primordial Stones?"

Just then, twenty li away in the heavens above, a group of Martial Artists, each armed with a weapon, was rapidly flying toward Xiao Ye.

The leader was a bearded burly man, exuding physical strength and muscles as if cast from iron, creating a visually oppressive aura.

Currently, he was staring at a young man with a thin, monkey-like face.

"Yes! Boss, I saw it while hunting three days ago. That youth had at least twenty Mid-Grade Primordial Stones in his hands!" the young man confidently claimed.

Twenty pieces – worth making a move!

Hearing this number, the bearded man licked his lips, a sliver of greed flashing in his eyes.

"Are you sure his cultivation is only at the Third Transition Xuanwu Late Stage?" the bearded man steadied his mind, asking with concern.

They were bandits from Qingfeng Village, a notorious force in the Xingyun Kingdom with five hundred members. The bearded man was a Martial Artist who had reached the Sixth Transition Xuanwu Late Stage, considered a strong figure among bandit forces.

The greatest fear for bandits was choosing the wrong target to rob, hence the man’s questioning.

"Boss, I, Monkey, am also a Martial Artist of the Xuanwu Realm. Don’t I have even this bit of discernment? I even tried to get close to that youth and took a good look at him, so I’m certain of it," the thin-faced young man patted his chest, assuring.

"Not bad, you’ve got some brains!" the bearded man laughed boisterously.

A Martial Artist at the Third Transition Xuanwu Late Stage was definitely within his grasp.

As the Qingfeng Village party conversed, they had already flown above the hill where Xiao Ye was located.

"Hm? Who’s that?" Xiao Ye, who was about to leave after his breakthrough, heard the sound of piercing air and looked up into the sky, squinting his eyes.

He could sense that they were heading toward him.

"Little brother, remember me?" The young man with a thin face flew in front of Xiao Ye, his face full of smugness.

"Oh? It’s you!" Xiao Ye replied with a cold smile.

Three days ago, while Xiao Ye was deeply engrossed in cultivation, this thin-faced young man suddenly appeared, looking like he had ill intentions. However, seeing that the other party had just reached the initial Xuanwu Realm not long ago, Xiao Ye didn’t pay much mind to him.

Now it seemed, the other party had ill intentions from the start.

"Little brother, I won’t lie to you. We are from Qingfeng Village. Our Boss is even a Martial Artist at the Sixth Transition Early Stage Xuanwu, far beyond what you could contend with."

"So I advise you to obediently hand over all the Mid-Grade Primordial Stones," the thin-faced young man shouted loudly.

"So, bandits, huh? Such a pity, you’re too late..." Xiao Ye shook his head in mock regret.

"Too late?" The thin-faced young man was taken aback, "Have you been robbed before?"

"Fear not, I’ve used all Mid-Grade Primordial Stones for cultivation. Had you arrived earlier, considering the effort you’ve made, I might have even rewarded you with one," Xiao Ye said, the corners of his mouth curling into a mocking smirk.

"You little bastard, you dare to play me!" The thin-faced young man finally realized and exploded in rage.

"Don’t bother with this kid. Kill him and search the body!" The bearded man, arms crossed, commanded coldly.

"Yes!"

From the bearded man’s side, thirty-six shadows burst forth, their power surging toward Xiao Ye.

"Rob me of my possessions, and without a word, you want to kill me then loot the body?" A furious flame ignited in Xiao Ye’s eyes.

These bandits’ methods were too cruel; undoubtedly, they had killed plenty before.

"You want to kill me, Xiao Ye, with such trash characters? You really think too highly of yourselves!" Xiao Ye swept his gaze over the Martial Artists, speaking coldly.

Among these Martial Artists, the strongest was only at the Third Transition Xuanwu Middle Stage, and the others were far more inadequate.

"How dare you call us trash? This kid is too arrogant, I’ll crush every bone in his body!" The charging bandits were enraged, one after another deploying Combat Techniques to strike down Xiao Ye.

"Sorry, I misspoke. Calling you trash might actually be too kind, because you’re scum!"

A cold light streaked across the pitch-black pupils of Xiao Ye’s eyes, followed by the simultaneous thunderous punch of both fists.
