Martial Conquest of the Nine Desolates
Chapter 307 - 305: The Terrifying Plan

Chapter 307: Chapter 305: The Terrifying Plan

Deep in the passage, a pungent, bloody wind blew intermittently, mixed with the painful roars of ferocious beasts, as if about to break free from their shackles, ready to appear before Xiao Ye.

The further he advanced, the more intense the roars of the ferocious beasts became, eventually exploding like thunder next to Xiao Ye’s ears, causing his blood qi to churn wildly.

Whoosh!

The solemnity in Xiao Ye’s eyes deepened, ghost-like, he swiftly swept forward, following the passage straight down.

Moreover, this passage was not the only one; there were many forks along the way. With the ineffective Martial Arts True Intent, Xiao Ye could only try his luck. After getting lost several times, he finally arrived at the underground, his feet landing on the ground.

Although there was not a single ray of light underground, a Xuanwu Realm Martial Artist could not be easily hindered by this.

"This is..." Xiao Ye was utterly shocked.

In front of him, there appeared a stone gate, ten meters high. The gate was engraved with eerie totems, identical to the one on the forehead of the man in the red robe, but many times larger, emitting a strange aura.

Furthermore, intermittent bursts of yin wind blew by, making Xiao Ye feel as though he was in the underworld.

At this time, the previous painful roars of the ferocious beast came once again, like thunder exploding, causing Xiao Ye to stagger in his steps.

"It’s coming from behind the stone gate!" Xiao Ye’s gaze was sharp.

He stepped forward, looking through the crack between the two stone gates.

Inside was a massive cage, and in the center of the cage, a huge Blood Pool had been dug out, with a three-person-tall green ferocious beast lying inside, bound by countless chains.

Gurgle!

The Blood Pool was still violently bubbling, as if it were heated, emitting steaming hot blood qi that struck one’s face.

Splashing!

Around the cage were densely packed holes, and from these holes, blood intermittently flowed out like rivers into the sea, pouring into the Blood Pool, the sound thunderous.

Every time blood entered, the ferocious beast would roar in anger, pieces of its green scale armor falling off, then new scale armor revealing itself, while its ferocious aura grew stronger.

From his angle, he could clearly see that behind the head of the green ferocious beast, there was also a blood-red stone, obviously being controlled.

Thinking back to the controlled ferocious beasts outside, a terrifying thought emerged in Xiao Ye’s mind.

"Could someone be cultivating Void Martial Realm ferocious beasts!" Xiao Ye gasped when he saw the scene before him.

And the aura of this feraceous beast definitely surpassed the Peak of Nine Revolutions Profound Martial, but it had not advanced to the Void Martial Realm—it must be a Half-step Void Martial!

It was very difficult to control or tame a Void Martial Realm ferocious beast, but it was relatively easier if one first controlled a weaker beast and then cultivated it into a Void Martial Realm beast, it just needed a massive amount of treasures.

"This method surely isn’t something ordinary bandits could possess!" Xiao Ye’s heart shuddered.

Being able to cultivate one Void Martial Realm beast meant cultivating a second, a third...

Inside the scope of Xingyun Kingdom, there weren’t that many Void Martial Realm Experts. If there were a hundred Void Martial Realm ferocious beasts forming an army, if King Xingyun did not act, it would be enough to sweep through the entire Xingyun Kingdom.

Obviously, there was a force here, testing out methods to cultivate Void Martial Realm ferocious beasts, harboring great ambition.

And this must be the ultimate mission issued by King Xingyun, where hidden Contribution Points lie.

"Who is it?" Just then, a cold shout suddenly came, followed immediately by a massive handprint descending from the sky with overwhelming power, enveloping Xiao Ye.

Xiao Ye was startled and hastily mobilized his strength, then slashed out with his saber.

Boom!

Brilliant sword light, and the massive handprint collided in midair, the surging momentum sweeping out, shaking Xiao Ye as he was thrown sideways.

From the darkness, an elderly man in a gray robe stepped forward; his eyes flickered like ghost fire, his whole body emitting a chilling presence.

"A student from King Xingyun’s Genius Camp is really something, sneaking in here. Aren’t you afraid of never returning?" the elder’s voice rasped.

Xiao Ye landed on the ground, feeling a bit relieved inside.

From the recent exchange, he realized that the gray-robed elder’s cultivation was not exceptionally strong; it was merely the Mid Nine Revolutions Profound Martial Realm.

"Just you, won’t stop me from returning!" Xiao Ye said coldly, his war intent intense.

His overall strength was now comparable to an Early Stage Martial Artist of the Nine Revolutions Profound Martial Realm. This elder was just at Mid Nine Revolutions Profound Martial Realm, he might have a fighting chance.

"Is that so? Then let me witness what exceptional abilities members of the Genius Camp have!" After the elder spoke, he stomped his foot, shaped his fingers into claws, and grabbed towards Xiao Ye, holes piercing through the air along the way, creating pitch-black cracks in the void.

Xiao Ye couldn’t afford to be careless, his eyes blazing with light, he roared with all his might, the three Xuandans inside his body erupted with terrifying power, coursing through his entire body.

At the same time, Xiao Ye raised the Flame Saber high, pouring all his strength into it. A terrifying wave of Sword Energy emanated from Xiao Ye, sweeping out in all directions, instantly covering a hundred steps around him.

Boom!

A dazzling Sword Light, stretching two thousand feet, slashed towards the elder.

The elder slightly lifted his hand and caught the dazzling Sword Light between his palms, then clasped his hands together, astonishingly crushing the Sword Light.

"Little boy, your cultivation isn’t high, but your strength is not bad, however, compared to this old man, you’re still far behind..." The elder coldly spoke, but before he could finish speaking, his pupils suddenly contracted violently.

Rumble!

Xiao Ye was already swinging his fists, unleashing twenty-seven strands of Domineering Dragon Qi, filling the entire underground space, bombarding towards the elder.

The vast energy surged wildly in the underground space, as if it would rush up to the Nine-layered Heaven, the whole space shook violently, as if it was about to collapse.

The elder had not expected Xiao Ye’s strength to be so profound, able to continuously execute such powerful combat techniques, added with the formidable power of the Domineering Dragon Suppressing Sky Fist, he was caught off guard and sent flying.

"Hmph, just Mid Nine-Transformation Profound Martial Realm, today I, Xiao Ye, will kill you!" Xiao Ye once again gathered the power of three Xuandans, raised the Flame Saber high, executed Blood Battle Eight Directions, and then slashed towards the flying elder.

Rumble!

Terrifying power exploded instantly, fiercely striking the elder, whose body was drenched in blood that spurted out.

"Little bastard, you dare to injure me!" The elder flipped over, stomped his foot to stabilize his stance, and burst out with black energy waves.

While shocked by Xiao Ye’s robust strength, the elder was enraged, his killing intent overwhelming.

"This still didn’t kill him." Xiao Ye was shocked in his heart, it seemed that the old man before him was not ordinary; his repeated heavy hits had only caused some injuries to the opponent.

Boom!

The elder’s figure, like an arrow off its string, burst forth, his black energy erupting like a volcano. His palms repeatedly struck down, black palm winds, like giant mountains, thunderously attacked.

"Bring it on!"

Xiao Ye roared, holding the Flame Saber, executing Blood Battle Eight Directions with one hand and Domineering Dragon Suppressing Sky Fist with the other.

Only Xiao Ye, possessing three Xuandans, could withstand such a terrifying consumption.

The collision of the two erupted with earth-shattering power fluctuations, sweeping across the entire underground space centered on them.

The entire space trembled, then cracks horrifying to behold began appearing on the ceilings of the rock walls above, and these cracks grew more numerous.

"Not good, it’s going to collapse!" Xiao Ye gritted his teeth, blood already seeping from the corners of his mouth.

In terms of base strength, he was no match for this grey-robed elder, he was merely relying on two mutated version combat techniques to fight, but it was only a matter of time before he would be defeated.

"Old man, let’s stop fighting and go out to continue, otherwise, we both will die here." Xiao Ye roared, being continuously pushed back by the elder.

"Humph, no need to stop, because after I kill you, I can still escape!" The elder, like a Killing God, his terrifying intent to kill tightly locked onto Xiao Ye, his hand piercing through the void like a ghost, reaching for Xiao Ye’s chest.

"Want to kill me? You won’t get off easily either!" Xiao Ye’s eyes shone with resolute light, his Flame Saber cleaving through the void, slashing towards the grey-robed elder.

"Want to fight to death? But your speed is not fast enough," sneered the elder, his hand moving even faster.

"Old man, I have been waiting for this move for a long time, Ten Thousand Refining Golden Body!"

A trace of mockery surfaced on Xiao Ye’s lips, as his body erupted with intense light at the instant the elder’s palm struck, making his body seem like it was cast from gold.

Bang!

The elder’s palm heavily struck Xiao Ye, producing a clang of Golden Spears, the terrifying power was reduced by seventy percent by the Ten Thousand Refining Golden Body, the remaining forty percent blasted onto Xiao Ye.

Pfft!

Xiao Ye forcibly withstood this force, spewing a mouthful of blood, his Flame Saber brought a cold gleam, sweeping past the elder’s neck.

Instantly, a bloody head soared into the sky, the elder’s eyes wide open, seemingly unable to believe he would die before his death.

To think, his power was enough to have blasted Xiao Ye, only he had not anticipated that Xiao Ye had cultivated the Ten Thousand Refining Golden Body.

After killing the elder, Xiao Ye could no longer help but collapse on the ground, gasping for breath.

"Fortunately, I did not reveal the Ten Thousand Refining Golden Body at the beginning, otherwise, I would have been the one to die," Xiao Ye felt a lingering fear.

With his current strength, facing a Mid Nine-Transformation Xuanwu Realm martial artist was still somewhat forced, let alone this elder who was very strong.

"The ferocious beast inside, I can’t handle it, it’s better to get out first." Xiao Ye struggled to stand up, who knew if there were other experts around, if another one came, he would be the one to die.

When Xiao Ye’s gaze inadvertently swept across the elder’s corpse, his body trembled because on the elder’s palm, there clearly was a Space Ring.
