Martial Conquest of the Nine Desolates
Chapter 354 - 352: Four Giant Towers

Chapter 354: Chapter 352: Four Giant Towers

Sky Breaking King Realm, within the dilapidated ancient city, a gray stillness devoid of any life lingers, and it is unknown how many years have passed. The arrival of numerous Young Talents has broken this silence.

Entering the ancient city, Xiao Ye sweeps his gaze around. Before him stretches a wide avenue leading into the distance, piled with numerous stones, wood, and other sundries.

On both sides of the avenue, a stretch of ruined building structures all collapsed, none intact, filled with the traces of ages past, as if coming through from ancient times.

Xiao Ye attempts to release his fused Martial Arts True Intent to explore, and immediately feels a strong force suppressing his Martial Arts True Intent down.

"This place actually prevents the release of Martial Arts True Intent!" Xiao Ye’s heart sinks.

He has encountered such situations before; places like this are generally dangerous.

It’s not just Xiao Ye, even Young Talents who have reached the Void Martial Realm, releasing their intent progressed from Martial Arts True Intent, were also suppressed.

Many Young Talents in the ancient city have become "blind."

Swoosh!

Swoosh!

...

At this moment, Mid-grade Primordial Stones continue to burst from the depths of the ancient city incessantly, brushing past the bodies of the crowd and flying towards the outside of the city.

"There must be treasures there!" A powerful Young Talent, his eyes sharp, raises a Grotto Heaven behind him then breaks through the air towards the direction where the Mid-grade Primordial Stones are spurting.

Others, not wanting to fall behind, followed suit, no longer caring to grab the spewed mid-grade Primordial Stones.

"This ancient city mustn’t be simple, I better be more cautious." Xiao Ye recalls the warning from the Dynasty Envoy. His initially heated mind gradually calms down, his gaze warily scrutinizing his surroundings.

The inside of the ancient city appears very ruined, but its bleak aura cannot conceal its majestic presence.

Soon, Xiao Ye and others, acting as the vanguard, follow the direction from which the Mid-grade Primordial Stones are spurting, and arrive deep within the ancient city.

Here stand four shimmering golden Giant Towers in a row, their majestic presence evident, the surfaces glinting light, flawless, appearing out of place in the ancient city.

On the towers, from left to right, each is marked with a number.

At this moment, the first Giant Tower’s grand doors are wide open. The Mid-grade Primordial Stones, attracted by a strange force, are spurting outward.

"The source is here!"

Xiao Ye focuses towards the first Giant Tower, his pupils contracting, his face shocked, unable to speak.

Inside the first Giant Tower, light spills over. The Mid-grade Primordial Stones are stacked into a mountain. Given the size of the first Giant Tower, there must be at least a million pieces.

"My God, so many Mid-grade Primordial Stones!" Other Young Talents also witness this scene, exclaiming one after another, their faces filled with euphoria.

Entering the Sky Breaking King Realm, their greatest crisis was the depletion not being replenished, so these many Mid-grade Primordial Stones were like timely help in the snow.

For a while, several Young Talents rush in, frantically grabbing the Mid-grade Primordial Stones.

"Without a Space Ring, how many Mid-grade Primordial Stones can one person carry?" Xiao Ye shakes his head, his gaze turning to the other three Giant Towers.

If the first Giant Tower contains Mid-grade Primordial Stones, what treasures could the other three towers hold?

Curious, Xiao Ye, after ensuring no dangers around, pushes open the grand door of the second Giant Tower and steps inside.

This tower also holds blocks of brilliantly radiant stones, about a hundred or so, pure like crystals without a trace of impurity.

"Similar to Mid-grade Primordial Stones, but somewhat different..."

Xiao Ye frowns slightly, holding a stone in his hand, trying to operate the Four Profound Treasure Technique.

Boom!

Xiao Ye’s body suddenly trembles, a surge of extremely pure and boundless Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, like floodgates opening, pours into his body.

This is no longer just Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, but droplets formed by the compression of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi.

"Ah!"

Xiao Ye feels his body, unable to withstand such a terrifying Qi, feels like it is about to split apart, even his Acupoints painfully expanding, he hurriedly stops operating the cultivation technique, his face in shock.

This is his first encounter with such a phenomenon.

"What in the world is this?"

Just moments, his Ninth-Transformation Profound Martial Middle Stage Water Dark Pill improved slightly, leaving him even more shocked.

Needless to say, this stone is a Supreme Treasure for Martial Artists, far surpassing Mid-grade Primordial Stones.

"Holy shit, these are all Top-grade Primordial Stones!"

At this moment, a voice filled with ecstatic joy rings out, jolting Xiao Ye awake.

"Top-grade Primordial Stones!" Xiao Ye’s eyes shoot out bursts of sharp light.

He knows that Primordial Stones are classified into lower, middle, and upper grades. Once a Martial Artist breaks through to the King Martial Realm, Mid-grade Primordial Stones become completely ineffective, and only by cultivating with Top-grade Primordial Stones can he breakthrough in cultivation.

However, Top-grade Primordial Stones have always existed in legends, unseen in the Four Great States of the True Spirit Continent.

Only in the center of the powers of the True Spirit Continent, in Central State would one hundred Mid-grade Primordial Stones emerge, which could absolutely provoke a bloody storm in the Four Great States. No Expert of the King Martial Realm could remain seated.

Xiao Ye’s mind was roaring, his face full of excitement.

This was truly a supreme treasure. High Grade Essence Stones were resources for cultivation for King Martial Realm Experts. If he could obtain them, not to mention that all four Xuandan could reach the Peak of Nine-Revolution Profound Martial, even breaking through to the Void Martial Realm would be quick.

Xiao Ye quickly stepped forward, took off his outer garment to use as a wrap, and frantically collected the High Grade Essence Stones.

Almost at the same time, the Young Talents outside had already discovered this place, swarming in and starting to scramble for the stones irrespective of their status.

Moreover, the matter of the Ancient City had already spread in the Sky Breaking King Realm, and a large number of Young Talents descended from the sky, joining the fray.

"Damn it, these people are really crazy!"

Xiao Ye watched as three Virtual Martial Level 4 Young Talents fought fiercely, plundering all the remaining High Grade Essence Stones. The powerful fluctuations of the battle affected many people and he couldn’t help but curse in his heart.

"If I stay any longer, I’ll be in danger too. Ten High Grade Essence Stones are enough for me." Xiao Ye had not lost his senses, and took the opportunity to exit the second Giant Tower.

Since he was the first to enter the second Giant Tower, aside from those top-tier Young Talents, his gains were the largest.

"If there are High Grade Essence Stones in the second Giant Tower, what about the third one?"

Xiao Ye’s eyes shone with anticipation as he pushed open the door of the third Giant Tower.

Boom!

As the door opened, a fiery red light burst out from the third Giant Tower, and an immensely terrifying fluctuation directly blew him backward.

Xiao Ye stopped himself in mid-air, spitting out a mouthful of blood, and looked at the third Giant Tower in shock.

Inside, it was empty, and in the center floated a fiery red spear. It was as if endless flames had transformed into a Fire Dragon rushing toward him, terrifyingly magnificent.

"A Void Artifact!"

Seeing the spear, Xiao Ye felt the entire world disappear, leaving only this spear, and his eyes turned blood-red.

In the third Giant Tower, there was actually a Void Artifact!

Whoosh!

The fluctuation of the Void Artifact plunged the place into a deathly silence, everyone was stunned, especially the Young Talents of the Void Martial Realm who showed extreme excitement.

It is known that making a Void Artifact is extremely difficult, only an expert of Void Martial Level 6 and above could collect precious materials, and through continuous nourishment by Pocket World Power could one be forged.

A Void Artifact can increase the strength of a Void Martial Realm Expert by more than double, more tempting than High Grade Essence Stones. After all, with their cultivation level, Mid-grade Primordial Stones could still be useful, but their effect was far inferior to High Grade Essence Stones.

Moreover, Central State had issued a decree forbidding the transmission of weapons, cultivation techniques, and combat techniques above the Void Martial Realm from the Four Great States, which only increased their desire for Void Artifacts.

And here, there was actually a Void Artifact!

Madness!

Complete madness!

After the High Grade Essence Stones had been divided, people no longer had the mind to kill and plunder, but rushed towards the third Giant Tower like meteors soaring into the sky.

Boom boom boom!

Before the third Giant Tower, terrifying attacks congregated in the air, forming a huge torrent. Everyone was making their moves, and the entire Ancient City was trembling.

Screams of Young Talents echoed as severed limbs flew about, and blood rain started falling from the sky.

"This Void Artifact is mine, all of you get lost!"

At this time, a tremendous Suppression descended on the Ancient City, and brilliant light burst forth, illuminating the entire Ancient City followed by a cold voice.

Xiao Ye looked up and saw Jinpengzi standing on the back of a giant Golden Roc, his golden hair fluttering, making his appearance here.

Behind him, a Grotto Heaven with light spurting forth rose, like a Divine being making a powerful move, directly blasting the several Young Talents in front of him to pieces.

"Brother Nangong, Brother Jinpeng, there are many treasures here, we should first drive these wastes away, what do you think?"

At this time, a young man with short hair and cold eyes, who was a Virtual Martial Level 4 and had comprehended the Law Profound Mysteries, spoke. He was known as one of the top-tier Young Talents with hope to make it into the top ten of the Kingdom Battle.

Nangong Xingyu furrowed his brow and did not speak.

"Not a bad idea," said Jinpengzi, nodding, then immediately burst out with an overwhelming strength that shook all the surrounding Young Talents away.

"Get lost, or don’t blame me for making a move and killing you!" Jinpengzi coldly declared, his gaze sweeping murderously, finally landing on Xiao Ye.

"And you, you don’t deserve to be here," Jinpengzi said, a hint of sarcasm surfacing on his face.

"You don’t deserve to be here?" A cold smile appeared in Xiao Ye’s heart as he subtly looked around the four Giant Towers, where faint black mist was beginning to form.

This wisp of mist had already appeared when he opened the door of the third Giant Tower, and it was growing more and more. Others were only focused on the treasures and had not yet noticed it.

For some reason, when Xiao Ye saw this black mist, an unknown sense of crisis rose in his heart, as if a great horror was approaching.

(Tomorrow I need to revise the plot, so I took a break for a day. I owe everyone two Chapters and I will make up for them as soon as possible)
