Martial Conquest of the Nine Desolates
Chapter 359 - 357 Green-haired Dead Corpses

Chapter 359: Chapter 357 Green-haired Dead Corpses

Xiao Ye unleashed the full force of his Nine-Revolution Profound Martial at its peak, transforming into thirty-six True Dragons to confront Ou Yuanfei. Each dragon possessed enough might to crush eons, their dragon might unparalleled.

The Mysteries of Gold carried a sharp momentum, its radiance bursting forth, filling the void and cutting the bodies of the True Dragons into countless pieces. However, the power of the Mysteries of Gold was also rapidly depleting.

"How is this possible!"

Ou Yuanfei, witnessing this scene, was instantly struck with terror.

With his insight, he could clearly see that Xiao Ye had become much stronger than a month ago, almost reaching the level of Void Martial Level 4, yet Xiao Ye’s aura had not yet advanced to the Void Martial Realm.

It’s well-known that even those with special physiques or who have comprehended the Law Profound Mysteries, at the peak of their capabilities in the Xuanwu Realm, could at most match Void Martial Level 3. This has become a consensus among the Martial Artists of the True Spirit Continent.

After all, the Xuanwu Realm is still the Xuanwu Realm; even a Heavenly Son in this realm couldn’t possibly awaken too much of the special physique powers.

What shocked Ou Yuanfei most was that Xiao Ye did not seem to have comprehended any Law Profound Mysteries.

"Could it be that he possesses a special physique that enhances his strength?" Ou Yuanfei, frightened, turned pale as his own Mysteries of Gold, which he took pride in, were instead suppressed.

As the saying goes, with overpowering strength, regardless of what Law Profound Mysteries or special physiques one has, all can be shattered with a single punch.

Indeed, the unfurled power of his Mysteries of Gold was swiftly overwhelmed and extinguished by the force of the Domineering Dragon Suppressing Sky Fist, its terrifying shockwaves sweeping forth, which Ou Yuanfei shattered with a single sword strike.

"Run!"

Ou Yuanfei inhaled sharply with fear, and without a second thought, he turned to flee.

There was no helping it; Xiao Ye’s combined strength was significantly higher than his. Continuing the battle would certainly result in his own death.

"Ha, weren’t you trying to kill me? Why are you running away now? I have many top-grade Primordial Stones; defeat me, and you can have them," Xiao Ye shot into the sky, pursuing him.

After this duel, he was very satisfied with his own strength, confident that among the many young talents in the Sky Breaking King Realm, he could rank within the top hundred.

Of course, he also understood that Ou Yuanfei’s grasp of the Mysteries of Gold was merely superficial, much weaker compared to Jinpengzi.

"You have top-grade Primordial Stones but I won’t have a life to take them, better to notify Jinpengzi," hearing the increasing sounds behind him, Ou Yuanfei, terrified, pushed his speed to the extreme.

"Since you’re here, why not stay!"

Xiao Ye bellowed, activating Blood Battle Eight Directions and Ten Thousand Refining Golden Body, unleashing a fierce Sword Light across the void, ruthlessly slashing towards Ou Yuanfei.

After all, he still planned to continue his retreat, aiming to break into the Half-step Void Martial Realm; he did not want to expose this forest and draw Jinpengzi here.

Splat!

Ou Yuanfei turned to strike with his sword, releasing the Mysteries of Gold and unleashing a sharp momentum. The two powerful forces collided mid-air and then annihilated together.

Ignoring the result of this sword strike, Ou Yuanfei took the opportunity to quickly escape.

"Humph, let’s see if you can keep using your Law Profound Mysteries endlessly!" Xiao Ye’s eyes flashed, his hand chopping out again.

This time, eight Sword Light tore through the void, enveloping Ou Yuanfei completely.

With four Xuandans as his foundation, Xiao Ye’s strength was robust and overwhelming. Reusing Blood Battle Eight Directions, a Seventh Grade Battle Technique, was almost effortless and consumed far less energy than the tremendously powerful Domineering Dragon Suppressing Sky Fist.

"Damn it, is this Xiao Ye a freak? His strength is so robust!"

The eight immense Sword Lights, although not posing a great danger to Ou Yuanfei, forced him into a defensive position, allowing Xiao Ye to close the distance.

"Humph, you can’t escape!" Xiao Ye coldly spoke, striking again.

"Xiao Ye, this is too much!"

Seeing it was difficult to escape, Ou Yuanfei furiously shouted, his body radiating golden light, causing the entire Heaven and Earth to tremble. He pushed his Mysteries of Gold to its limit, evidently preparing to fight desperately.

"Ha ha, I am indeed bullying you, what can you do about it?" Xiao Ye laughed heartily, unleashing a fierce punch that swept everything away.

"Ah!"

Ou Yuanfei roared in rage, his eyes bloodshot, engaging Xiao Ye in a fierce battle.

However, the outcome was already predetermined.

Xiao Ye’s four Xuandans, all at the peak of Nine-Revolution Profound Martial, provided the most robust foundation in the Xuanwu Realm, mighty and invincible. He exploded Ou Yuanfei’s body, crimson blood staining the Heaven.

"I’m not resigned, I haven’t yet entered the Central State, haven’t yet shocked the world!"

In his final moments, Ou Yuanfei roared in regret, and with his last breath, all his dreams and pursuits dissipated into smoke.

Xiao Ye split the ground open with a palm and buried Ou Yuanfei’s corpse in the deep pit he created. After finishing this, Xiao Ye stood still.

In the battle with Ou Yuanfei, he noticed that in his Dantian, it seemed like a ’line’ connected his four Xuandans, forming a cycle of four types of Xuanwu Power and creating an amplitude in power.

"Could this be the Four Profound Treasure Technique?" After carefully sensing, and finding nothing else special, Xiao Ye burst into hearty laughter.

He was not a Heavenly Son, nor did he possess Law Profound Mysteries, yet he killed Ou Yuanfei. How could he not feel exhilarated?

"Once my Cultivation reaches the Half-step Void Martial Realm, it should be even more against the heavens. Maybe I could even compete with Jinpengzi." Hope glimmered in Xiao Ye’s eyes as he rose into the air and returned to the forest filled with skeleton corpses to start his closed-door cultivation.

Currently, Xiao Ye’s biggest challenge was to advance from the Peak of Nine-Revolution Xuanwu to the Half-step Void Martial. As long as his cultivation reached Half-step Void Martial, with the secret technique and insights he obtained from the Puppet Sect, he would find his path forward clear and smooth.

Xiao Ye circulated his Cultivation Technique and absorbed the Primordial Energy from the top-grade Primordial Stones, but he found that all four Xuandans were already saturated and couldn’t devour any more.

Clearly, absorbing Primordial Energy was not the method to break through to the Half-step Void Martial.

"Alas, I was really careless, thinking that advancing to Half-step Void Martial wouldn’t be difficult. If I had known, I would have sought guidance from King Xingyun earlier," Xiao Ye expressed his frustration.

Now situated in the Sky Breaking King Realm, he couldn’t risk asking those Young Talents for advice, could he?

Not to mention possibly attracting Jinpengzi, but with his unprecedented four Xuandans, others’ experiences might not necessarily apply.

"It seems I have to figure it out on my own." Xiao Ye composed himself and continued to attempt breakthrough methods.

Time slowly passed by, and a year had gone by since the numerous Young Talents entered the Sky Breaking King Realm.

Many Young Talents headed toward the Sky Breaking King Realm, facing dangers and perishing while also discovering opportunities and treasures which greatly enhanced their strength.

At this moment, in the sky above the entrance to a massive mountain range, numerous Young Talents burst forth with strong momentum, battling with soldiers clad in Golden Armor, trying to charge into the mountain.

These Golden Armored Soldiers, each quite tall, were shrouded in corpse qi and faces covered in green hair. Even if half of their bodies were blown apart, leaving no blood, they would still fight ceaselessly.

Moreover, their strength was formidable, reaching the level of Void Martial Level 2, far more terrifying than those skeletons. Under such disparity, many Young Talents fell and were torn to pieces, their blood staining the heavens.

At the very forefront of the Young Talents, Jinpengzi and others were fighting against many, and even Nangong Xingyu was entangled in a fierce battle, unable to enter the mountain range.

"Damn it, these green-haired corpses are too strong, our losses are too heavy, let’s go!" a Young Talent shouted loudly, rushing towards the outside of the mountain range.

One led, and coupled with the terror of the Golden Armored Soldiers, many Young Talents fought as they retreated, coming to rest outside the mountain range.

However, those in the mountain range did not pursue, their sinister gaze swept over the Young Talents once before turning to fly back into the mountains.

"We failed again, we’ve failed so many times over the past half a year. I’m the only one left from my kingdom!"

"Hmph, this mountain range likely harbors the Slaughter Principle of breaking through the heavens; what does it matter if a few people die? As long as we comprehend the Slaughter Principle, winning first place in the Kingdom Battle will be a breeze."

"Right, we can’t give up, there’s only one chance!"

...

Among the many Young Talents, expressions of disappointment mixed with fervent words...

This mountain range was discovered six months ago when a powerful Young Talent stormed it, discovering not only numerous treasures but also sensed the aura of the Slaughter Principle.

When he picked up a Void Artifact, it unexpectedly activated the green-haired Golden Armored Corpses within the mountain. After barely escaping, he managed to leave information about the mountain before dying from severe injuries.

This news stirred a thousand waves, driving all Young Talents mad.

Entering the Sky Breaking King Realm, they had more or less understood that the most precious treasure of the realm was the residual Slaughter Principle!

In the past, even with only ten layers of comprehended Slaughter Principle, it had been enough to kill a King Martial Realm Expert across realms, showing the formidable attack power of the Slaughter Principle.

Such a precious treasure, how could they not be moved?

Yet these Golden Armored Warriors were too terrifying, even their combined attack hadn’t gained them a step into the mountain.

"It seems that no one will be able to enter the mountain for a while," Jinpengzi, hands clasped behind him, withdrew his greedy gaze, then scanned the three beside him.

"Ou Yuanfei has been missing for half a year and might have entered a dangerous area and perished. Since we cannot enter the mountain, you’re no longer needed here, go look for Xiao Ye."

"If you find Xiao Ye, inform me immediately," Jinpengzi said nonchalantly.

But what he didn’t realize was that Ou Yuanfei had died at the hands of Xiao Ye, although he didn’t believe Xiao Ye had that capability.

The three Young Talents from Jinpeng Kingdom glanced at each other, nodded, then soared into the sky, flying off into the distance.

"The Slaughter Principle, I must obtain it!" Jinpengzi’s gaze heated up again as he looked towards the mountain.
