Martial Conquest of the Nine Desolates
Chapter 331 - 329: The Desperate Xiao Teng

Chapter 331: Chapter 329: The Desperate Xiao Teng

Xiao Ye suddenly realized that to participate in the final Dynasty Battle, one would also need to go through successive selections.

Just take the Kingdom Battle in the East State, for example, there were less than ten thousand young warriors who emerged from a thousand kingdoms; with his strength, there was indeed a great hope for him to break into the top five hundred.

But in the final Dynasty Battle, to kill his way into the top five hundred would be extremely difficult, as those who reached that stage would all be paramount fighters.

"Lord Starfall, how much time is left until the final Dynasty Battle?" Xiao Ye asked.

"There are still two years," said King Xingyun.

Hearing this, Xiao Ye sighed with relief, and his expression relaxed.

Two years was plenty of time for him, especially since he had the assistance of the Time Tower. As long as he had enough resources, his strength would continue to grow.

By then, he would certainly be able to break into the top five hundred.

"I must break through to the Void Martial Realm as soon as possible!" Xiao Ye’s eyes shone with determination.

Only by breaking through to the Void Martial Realm would he be confident in advancing through the final Dynasty supremacy; he had to seize this opportunity.

And to compete with the geniuses from all over the True Spirit Continent was also something he aspired to.

"For these nine months, cultivate well. The Heavenly God Dynasty offers special rewards to the top fifty geniuses in the Kingdom Battle, which can help you in the Dynasty Battle."

"You have one chance to seek my guidance; whenever you wish to use it, you can let Jiu Zhu bring you to me," said Lord Starfall as he finished speaking and closed his eyes once again, no longer speaking.

Xiao Ye stood up, bowed respectfully to Lord Starfall, then turned and left Qingxin Hall. Jiu Zhu seemed to have already known about the Dynasty Battle, didn’t ask further, and took Xiao Ye away from Sky City.

Back at the Genius Camp, Xiao Ye first visited the Exchange Hall and exchanged for eight drops of Essence of Primordial Stone, then, under the puzzled gaze of Jiu Zhu, spent eight hundred thousand Contribution Points to exchange for one hundred thousand Mid-grade Primordial Stones.

Mid-grade Primordial Stones were the least valuable treasures in the Exchange Hall.

As for other treasures, Xiao Ye did not exchange any; nothing was more important than improving his cultivation now.

"Before the Kingdom Battle starts, I should go demand people from the Yan Family, hopefully they have not played any tricks, and I also wonder how the Ye Alliance has developed," Xiao Ye murmured to himself.

The year he had agreed upon with the Yan Family had less than half a year left, enough time for him to handle everything before the Kingdom Battle started.

Xiao Teng was the Xiao Family’s bloodline; he naturally could not abandon him.

"The Mid-grade Primordial Stones I exchanged for, combined with the monthly supply, should be enough for my cultivation during this period," Xiao Ye thought to himself and began his days of intense and arduous cultivation.

The Genius Camp had once again returned to tranquility; everyone was immersed in their cultivation.

Meanwhile, Lord Starfall began assigning tasks again, issuing one every half a month, having the members of the Genius Camp complete them.

As for Xiao Ye, he had become an extraordinary figure in the Genius Camp, constantly in closed-door cultivation, just like those three formidable monsters, and no longer going on missions, much to Qing Wu’s frustration as she stamped her feet in anger.

Others were not surprised at this, after all, Xiao Ye’s strength was evident.

Only a few were aware that Xiao Ye and those three monsters had been recommended by Lord Starfall to participate in the Dynasty Battle, of course, they needed to race against time.

Two months later, in a desolate land very far from the Royal City.

Here, the ground was covered with eerie white bones, and interwoven with entwined ancient trees. The gray forest emanated a thick scent of death, like hell itself, very sinister and terrifying.

Crack!

Suddenly, a disheveled figure stepped on a skull underfoot and then tumbled to the ground, gasping for breath.

The disheveled figure belonged to a handsome and tall young man. However, his robe was now torn and his body was covered in scars; many wounds were deep enough to reveal white bone.

Moreover, his aura was feeble, clearly indicating tremendous exhaustion.

At this moment, the young man leaned against a large tree, eyes filled with a resentful glow.

"Yan Family, to plot to kill me with such a dangerous assignment, even as a ghost, I will not let you off!"

If Xiao Ye were here, he would definitely recognize that this young man was Xiao Teng!

When Xiao Ye went to the Yan Family to reclaim people, Xiao Teng coincidentally had been sent on a mission by them. It was only a day after his return that the Yan Family had dispatched him to a designated place, ordering him to pick a field treasure called the Nine Nether Fruit, claiming it was for the younger generation of the Yan Family to consume for Foundation Establishment.

By then, Xiao Teng had heard from others about Xiao Ye coming to save him from the Yan Family.

But Xiao Teng was under the Yan Family’s Spirit Control Secret Technique and could only obey.

However, upon arriving at the designated location, he discovered that it was all a scheme, as the Nine Nether Fruit was a Holy Fruit for a sect in the Xingyun Kingdom called the Nine Nether Sect.

The Nine Nether Sect’s power was immense, no weaker than the Eighteen Great Families, but they were elusive, so few knew about them.

Xiao Teng taking the Nine Nether Fruit was undoubtedly a violation of the sect’s taboo, which led to a furious pursuit.

Xiao Teng fled in defeat, now facing a desperate situation with a slim chance of survival.

"No, I absolutely cannot give up, the hatred of the Yan Family’s trap and the murder they plotted, I have yet to avenge, I cannot die!" Feeling the gradually approaching sounds of air breaking behind him, Xiao Teng forced himself to stand.

His gaze pierced through the vast ancient forest, and an ancient city appeared in his vision.

"Molten Lava City!" A glimmer of hope surged in Xiao Teng’s eyes, and his heart trembled slightly.

For on his journey, he had heard that this city was controlled by forces made up of Martial Artists from the Endless Sea. Any Martial Artist from the Endless Sea in need of assistance could seek help there.

Most importantly, the name of that force was the Ye Alliance, and Xiao Teng’s intuition told him that this force must be connected to Xiao Ye.

The Ye Alliance was an emerging power, and the strongest among them was a Void Martial Realm Ferocious Beast, incredibly terrifying. It was precisely because of the existence of this beast that the Ye Alliance rapidly rose and firmly seized control of a city.

"The Martial Artists from the Nine Nether Sect who are chasing me include Void Martial Realm Experts. As long as I can break into Molten Lava City, I will certainly survive!" Thinking of this, Xiao Teng no longer concealed his figure, quickly ascended to the Heaven, and flew towards Molten Lava City.

"There! That kid’s over here! Chase him!"

Suddenly, a loud shout rang out, and figures soared into the sky, dressed in green robes, their gaze leaping like ghost fire, roughly fifty in number, each with an overwhelmingly powerful aura.

They pursued Xiao Teng, and the six leading the chase directly initiated their attack. A raging torrent of power formed, hurtling towards Xiao Teng.

"I can’t stop, or I won’t be able to escape!" Feeling the terrifying power fluctuation behind him, Xiao Teng gritted his teeth fiercely. His body burst into a fierce light, constructing a Power Defense.

He was determined to withstand the opponent’s attack.

Boom!

The dazzling torrent of power shattered Xiao Teng’s defense, then slammed into his back with a deafening explosion.

Pfft!

Blood spurted from Xiao Teng’s mouth as a massive force propelled his body forward, speeding him up even more. He quickly escaped the attacking range of those behind him. At that point, Molten Lava City was already within sight.

"Ah!"

With bloodshot eyes, Xiao Teng desperately resisted the pain in his Physical Body, pushing his speed to the Extreme, flying towards Molten Lava City. The Green-robed followers behind him cried out in alarm, but could only watch as Xiao Teng got farther away.

"What trash!"

At that moment, a tall figure descended, also wearing a green robe. The tremendous Suppression bursting from his body revealed his high Cultivation.

A Void Martial Realm Expert!

"Defiled our Nine Nether Sect’s Holy Fruit and still trying to flee?" The towering Green-robed Man took a step forward, streaking through the Heaven like a meteor, rapidly pursuing Xiao Teng.

The distance between the two visibly narrowed.

"This is bad!"

Xiao Teng’s heart skipped a beat, and his body felt ice cold.

When Xiao Teng arrived above Molten Lava City, the Green-robed Man had already caught up. A large hand covered the Heaven, reaching out to slap Xiao Teng.

"Lords of the Ye Alliance, I am a Martial Artist of the Yulan Domain from the Endless Sea, a clansman of Xiao Ye, please save me!" Xiao Teng, eyes splitting with urgency, desperately shouted out.

But under the amplification of power, his voice could not spread out at all.

"Grotto Heaven!" Xiao Teng felt a chill in his heart and was filled with despair.

Clearly, the other party had used the Pocket World Power to isolate the surroundings so that his voice couldn’t spread.

Boom!

The large hand arrived with a bang and sent Xiao Teng flying, collapsing a swath of buildings in Molten Lava City, and he fainted from loss of blood.

"Hmph, it looks like you have some connection to the Ye Alliance. I’ll take you back now and let you taste the punishment of our Sect!" The tall Green-robed Man flew towards Xiao Teng.

"Who goes there, and why have you come to our Molten Lava City?"

Just then, a youth clad in a Purple Robe suddenly appeared, his eyes shooting out discerning light that landed on the Green-robed Man.

"Roar!"

Almost simultaneously, a ferocious wolf-shaped beast, as tall as two men and covered in snow-white fur, emerged behind the Green-robed Man, unleashing a mammoth wave of power that shredded the void, spreading from the beast.

"A Void Martial Realm Ferocious Beast; looks like this one belongs to the Ye Alliance. I’ve heard that several Void Martial Realm Experts have died at its mouth; I can’t be careless." The Green-robed Man frowned slightly at the sight of the beast that seemed troublesome to provoke.

"I am a protector of the Nine Nether Sect, here to apprehend a fugitive from my Sect. If I have offended the Alliance, I ask for forgiveness." As he spoke, a Grotto Heaven rose behind the Green-robed Man and quickly devoured Xiao Teng into it.

"The Nine Nether Sect?" The Purple Robed Youth eyed the collapsed buildings, raised his eyebrows; the Ye Alliance had only been established recently and, if unnecessary, it was best to avoid making enemies, especially since the other was a Void Martial Realm Expert.

"Very well, this is the Ye Alliance’s territory, and I hope that you will leave promptly," voiced the Purple Robed Youth, gesturing respectfully.

"Of course, I will depart at once." The Green-robed Man laughed heartily, his form soaring into the sky and quickly disappearing from sight.

Seeing the Green-robed Man leave, the Purple Robed Youth sighed in relief, patted the head of the white Ferocious Beast, and said, "Little White, let’s head back, it was just a false alarm."

"Roar!"

However, the white Ferocious Beast growled softly, its eyes focused on the Green-robed Man’s retreating figure, showing a puzzled expression.

It felt that the figure the Green-robed Man had taken into the Grotto Heaven had a somewhat familiar aura.
