Martial Conquest of the Nine Desolates
Chapter 328 - 326: Pyrrhic Victory

Chapter 328: Chapter 326: Pyrrhic Victory

In the Realm of Illusion Demon, thirty-six streams of Domineering Dragon Qi roared furiously, like real dragons rushing toward heaven, creating a powerful storm that swept through.

The entire space trembled instantly, and unable to withstand such terrifying might, the void cracked like a mirror, and the Realm of Illusion Demon began to collapse, becoming fragmented.

The figures of two great young experts had already faintly appeared in the Central Square.

When the members of Genius Camp saw the thirty-six streams of Domineering Dragon Qi filling the sky, they could not help but gasp in shock, their faces filled with astonishment.

This set of Combat Techniques was driven by four Xuandans, its power astonishingly earth-shattering, far surpassing the limits of Seventh Grade Battle Techniques, reaching an unbelievable level as if it could sweep through everything.

At the same time, as Xiao Ye launched his punch, the glow from the four Xuandans inside him dimmed, consuming a significant amount of power.

"Let me win!"

Xiao Ye roared, the four Xuandans in his body trembled, and a surge of fiery power surged out, making the thirty-six streams of Domineering Dragon Qi even more enormous.

Boom!

The Domineering Dragon Qi, carrying Xiao Ye’s resolve, fiercely collided with that giant hand, like a mountain and river storm, directly breaking through the giant hand with a majestic momentum.

"Roar!"

The sound of a dragon’s chant echoed through heaven and earth. The Domineering Dragon Qi broke through the resistance of the giant hand, opened its huge mouth, and swiftly bit towards Xiang Nan, all happening in the blink of an eye.

"What!"

Xiang Nan was stunned, because he could feel the power of the Domineering Dragon Suppressing Sky Fist clearly reaching the limit of Eighth Grade Battle Techniques.

That was a level of Combat Technique that only experts of the Void Martial Realm could cultivate. How could Xiao Ye execute it?

"To defeat me is impossible, let me devour you!"

Xiang Nan gritted his teeth, without time to think of anything else, his blurry Grotto Heaven suddenly expanded, moving in front of him like a black hole, generating a tremendous devouring force, directly devouring the Domineering Dragon Qi.

This was a technique possessed by experts of the Void Martial Realm; the Grotto Heaven opened could devour the opponent’s attack and nourish oneself, extremely terrifying.

Although Xiang Nan temporarily possessed a false Grotto Heaven thanks to his Illusion Demon Physique, it had such a miraculous effect.

Rumble!

Xiang Nan’s Grotto Heaven shook violently and then began to expand, causing Xiang Nan’s expression to change slightly as Xiao Ye’s power was too overwhelming, and his was not a real Grotto Heaven.

"Hmph, you can devour my attack? Then I will burst you. Xiang Nan, this strike will decide the outcome!"

Xiao Ye witnessed this scene, shot up into the sky, and unleashed the Domineering Dragon Suppressing Sky Fist once again; with one punch, the power of the four Xuandans inside him was completely exhausted.

"Roar!"

Thirty-six streams of Domineering Dragon Qi rushed out, then plunged into Xiang Nan’s Grotto Heaven.

Boom!

Just as Xiang Nan’s Grotto Heaven stabilized, it exploded like a volcano, and he could no longer suppress it; the Grotto Heaven blasted open.

Pfft!

The closest Xiang Nan was impacted by the explosion, and, connected to the breath of the Grotto Heaven, he could no longer bear it; he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, was blown backwards, his chest caved in, grievous wounds covered his body, and he fell powerlessly onto the Central Square, passing out.

"Finally won." Xiao Ye grinned broadly, and as his mind relaxed, intense pain made him draw sharp breaths, a feeling of weakness sweeping over his body.

Not only was his body severely injured, but his power was also depleted. If Xiang Nan’s Grotto Heaven hadn’t exploded, he would have been the one to lose.

Silence!

The Central Square fell into a deathly silence.

Everyone stared dumbly at the young figure lying on the ground, hearts pounding.

Xiao Ye had actually done it!

With a mortal body, reversing the path and defeating a Heavenly Son at a low realm, he had indeed created a stunning feat.

Who could confidently claim in the future that a Heavenly Son would always be invincible at the same realm?

The next moment, the Central Square burst into cheers, entering a state of uproar; the peak duel just now was too thrilling, even the members of Xiang Nan’s Team and Mo Ye Team were impressed by Xiao Ye’s strength.

"Really didn’t expect, this guy’s strength is so formidable."

The evil-charming Mo Ye looked at Xiao Ye fearfully, then carried the passed-out Xiang Nan away for treatment.

His strength was on par with Mo Ye; Xiao Ye could defeat Xiang Nan, and it was very likely he could defeat him as well.

"Really not bad, much stronger than when I was his age, truly deserving of being the talent favored by King Xingyun." Fu Xuedao said sentimentally.

Jiu Zhu nodded intensely, and then took out an Elixir from the Space Ring, sending it over to Xiao Ye.

"Since ancient times on the True Spirit Continent, there have been countless Heavenly Prides, but only the Heavenly Sons have made their names last through the ages. However, Xiao Ye broke this iron rule."

"Xiao Ye, just like that girl said, once you grow up, you might be able to have a battle with me, achieving great renown across the Central State."

Dressed in a light blue robe, Nangong Xingyu stood with his hands behind his back, a strange light flickering in his eyes as he looked indifferently at Xiao Ye.

As a Void Martial Realm Expert, Jiu Zhu carried extremely precious elixirs, making it very simple to heal Xiao Ye’s injuries. After Xiao Ye took them, it wasn’t long before his condition stabilized.

"I will keep my promise. Once you’re healed, I will fight with you," Nangong Xingyu said to Xiao Ye, then sat down cross-legged, slightly closing his eyes. His aura became very ethereal, as if blending into the void.

"Great!" Xiao Ye showed an excited smile, then went all out to heal his injuries, adjusting his strength to its peak.

He was very much looking forward to battling Nangong Xingyu.

Hu!

As the battle reached its peak, the challenge officially ended, but no one left, their gazes fiercely fixed on the two figures.

It looked like Nangong Xingyu was going to wait there until Xiao Ye was healed, and even Jiu Zhu and Fu Xuedao hadn’t left.

Thus, they all waited patiently in the Central Square, eager to witness Nangong Xingyu’s strength.

Time passed day by day, and in the blink of an eye, five days had passed. Xiao Ye, who was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, started radiating golden light from his body, his Dharma Image dignified, and the fierce wounds on his body gradually disappeared.

Moreover, the aura emanating from Xiao Ye was also steadily increasing.

"The Ten Thousand Refining Golden Body not only allows me to have an invincible physical defense in the Xuanwu Realm but also speeds up the healing of my injuries," Xiao Ye thought with great surprise.

The Healing Pills given by Jiu Zhu were certainly precious, but it was also because of the Ten Thousand Refining Golden Body that Xiao Ye was able to heal most of his injuries in just five days.

At the same time, the power of the four Xuandans within his body was also gradually recovering.

Another five days passed, and suddenly, a powerful aura erupted from Xiao Ye, whipping up gusts of wind and billowing dust, the intense light rushing towards the heavens, causing changes in the wind and clouds.

"Has his strength recovered?" Those still waiting in the Central Square couldn’t help but look towards Xiao Ye, their spirits lifted.

"Something’s not right, why hasn’t Xiao Ye gotten up yet?"

But after waiting for a full half an hour, Xiao Ye still hadn’t opened his eyes, the surging power within his body churning like a raging torrent, growing stronger and stronger.

"This kid is about to make a breakthrough!"

Everyone was shocked; many people felt amazed that Xiao Ye, having just gone through a fierce battle, was now facing a breakthrough. His potential was truly terrifying.

Even Jiu Zhu and Fu Xuedao showed a gleam in their eyes.

"A breakthrough? Interesting," remarked Nangong Xingyu who sat cross-legged like a deity, surrounded by Star Light, his lips curved in a fleeting smile.

Boom!

At this moment, all four Xuandans within Xiao Ye erupted with intense light; four streams of Mystic Martial Power flowed within his body like boiling magma.

"I never expected, after the battle with Xiang Nan, to have such a good fortune, allowing all my four Xuandans a chance to advance by a whole grade," Xiao Ye felt emotionally moved.

All four Xuandans advancing by a grade, his strength was going to surge again. Now facing Nangong Xingyu, he felt he had a chance.

Xiao Ye did not dare to be careless, he had already taken out a Mid-grade Primordial Stone from his Space Ring, then immersed his consciousness into the Time Tower, striving hard to advance to a new realm.

On the Central Square, the light around Xiao Ye grew more and more intense until it reached a climax, then his body once again exploded with terrifying fluctuations, sending shockwaves sweeping out.

"Ah!"

Several youths close to Xiao Ye on the square were caught off guard and were sent flying by the shock.

This scene shocked everyone; just the power fluctuations emanating from Xiao Ye had such astonishing force, what level had Xiao Ye’s strength reached?

Shua!

At that moment, Xiao Ye suddenly opened his eyes, two brilliant beams of Divine Light shot out, piercing through the void, sending chills to those who touched it.

"Finally, a breakthrough!" Xiao Ye stood up, his black hair moving without wind, his body filled with immense confidence, a war intent that could shatter mountains and rivers surged forth.

With all four Xuandans upgraded by one grade, his strength more than doubled. If he were to contest with Xiang Nan again, Xiao Ye was confident that he could defeat Xiang Nan without a scratch.

This was the terrifying aspect of the Four Xuan Treasure Technique; once he made a breakthrough, his strength doubled. Looking at all the martial artists in the Xuanwu Realm, who had his kind of potential?

Even more, Xiao Ye had a hunch, his current maximal strength had truly stepped into the Void Martial Realm, ranking him genuinely as the second among the talents in the Genius Camp, only second to that monstrous first, Nangong Xingyu.

As for how big the gap was with the monstrous first, Nangong Xingyu, only a fight would tell.

"Nangong Xingyu, come on, let me see your strength," Xiao Ye gripped his fists tightly, his gaze burning intensely.

Nangong Xingyu had long been standing calmly in front of Xiao Ye, clearly just standing there yet seeming as if at a great distance, elusive and unfathomable.

Xiao Ye was momentarily startled, his gaze becoming incredibly solemn.

Because he realized, there wasn’t a single flaw in Nangong Xingyu’s being, he didn’t even know how to attack, this was the first time he had encountered such a situation.
