Martial Conquest of the Nine Desolates
Chapter 371 - 369: Fifty Seats

Chapter 371: Chapter 369: Fifty Seats

Above the vast void of the Sky Breaking King Realm, a continent floated above the clouds, bursting forth with rays of light, like a Heavenly Court.

Hundreds of King Martial Realm experts appeared alongside an elder, standing on the continent like divine beings, their terrifying aura sweeping forth mightily, their penetrating gaze looking downward.

A crowd of Young Talents, with fervent gazes, stared at those god-like figures, feeling their blood boiling. Was the ranking battle finally about to begin?

They represented their respective kingdoms, partaking in the most dazzling stage of the East State ranking battle, possibly making a name for themselves worldwide, ascending to the peak arena of the Dynasty Battle, or perhaps becoming mere side characters, their prospects dimmed.

But having reached this point, no one wished to give up, for only after struggling does one know the final outcome.

Xiao Ye and Jun Shitian almost simultaneously stopped, feeling that vast aura, their eyes filled with a heaven-shaking war intent.

"In this ranking battle, before everyone, I will kill you," Jun Shitian glanced at Xiao Ye and then walked away.

Xiao Ye watched Jun Shitian’s retreating figure, a cold laugh rising in his heart. Who would live and who would die in the ranking battle remained uncertain.

They had irreconcilable grievances with each other, and now that the ranking battle had begun, there was no need to hurry to make a move, revealing the cards of the Slaughter Principle prematurely was unwise.

"The first round of assessment is over, anyone who hasn’t reached this plain is eliminated and sent out of the Sky Breaking King Realm," the Dynasty Envoy announced authoritatively, his voice echoing throughout the realm.

In the next moment, white light burst forth from his hands, tearing open the void, rushing in all directions of the Sky Breaking King Realm.

"Ah, Lord Envoy, I haven’t yet..."

At this moment, a young man rapidly approaching vanishes in the white light, leaving behind only his reluctant shout.

Simultaneously, other young people within the Sky Breaking King Realm also disappeared one by one.

Xiao Ye sighed softly at this sight.

Merely the first round might have eliminated eighty percent of the Young Talents, many of whom had already fallen here.

The Kingdom Battle was cruel enough, making one believe that the Dynasty Battle would be a hundred times more brutal.

Unexpectedly, Mo Ye appeared at the critical moment beside him, not eliminated but severely injured, his body half-drenched in blood.

Mentioning Xiang Nan, Mo Ye’s face was heavy, his fate seeming grim.

"I wonder what kind of experts will appear in the Dynasty Battle?" Xiao Ye thought to himself, a flash of anticipation in his eyes.

With his current strength, passing the Kingdom Battle was effortless, his sights were set on much further places.

"To those who passed the first round, ascend to the battlefield," the envoy of the Heavenly God Dynasty spoke.

Whoosh!

As soon as these words fell, the young warriors on the plain soared towards the continent, filled with fighting spirit.

Nangong Xingyu and Xiao Ye rose side by side, landing upon the Central Continent.

"This..."

As the young talents set foot on the Central Continent, their faces instantly filled with astonishment.

The Central Continent of the Sky Breaking King Realm wasn’t particularly large, about the size of the Xingyun Kingdom’s Royal City, clearly visible in one glance.

On the vast plaza of the continent, fifty seats appeared out of thin air, towering, capturing everyone’s attention.

The ten seats at the forefront were particularly imposing, entirely golden, adorned with majestic Sky Dragons—Dragon Thrones, symbolizing endless honor, immediately capturing everyone’s attention.

Without needing a reminder from the envoy of the Heavenly God Dynasty, they knew these were the seats for the top ten of the ranking battle.

The remaining forty seats, while also extraordinary, paled in comparison to the first ten.

These fifty seats represented the top fifty of this Kingdom Battle, a coveted honor for all, and with it came rewards from the dynasty, stirring a strong surge of war intent among them.

"Out of the 1,820 who passed the first round of assessment, I am quite pleased. It seems our Heavenly God Dynasty still has many exceptional talents,"

"Regardless of whether you can sit in these fifty seats, you are all standout individuals among your peers."

The Dynastic Envoy, standing before hundreds of King Martial Realm experts, flashed a slight smile, drawing everyone’s gaze, silencing the entire continent in that instant.

Next came motivational speeches, which Xiao Ye found somewhat impatient to endure, until the envoy began to explain the rules of the ranking battle, sparking his interest.

"The ranking battle is divided into two rounds; the first round filters out the top fifty. Simply sit in a seat to place among the top fifty. The remainder will have a melee to select the strongest four hundred and fifty to partake in the Dynasty Battle."

"In the second round, if you are among the top fifty and unsatisfied with your seat, you may freely challenge another to replace them," the Dynasty Envoy explained.

Such straightforward rules were quickly understood by the young talents.

"Alright, I’ll give you two days to adjust. The first round begins in two days; now you can collect your belongings from me."

After the Dynasty Envoy finished speaking, he waved his hand and suddenly treasures densely appeared in the void, including Space Rings, weapons, Mid-grade Primordial Stones...

Except for Xiao Ye, others who were either severely injured or had greatly exhausted themselves, hurried forward to retrieve their belongings and then took out their treasures to start recuperating.

"Nangong Xingyu never feels indebted to anyone. In this ranking battle, I will help you secure a top ten position," said Nangong Xingyu after retrieving his Space Ring, and then he went to find a place to retreat for seclusion on his own.

Xiao Ye slightly smiled bitterly upon hearing this. In Nangong Xingyu’s eyes, was he really that weak?

"However, the first round involves 1,820 people competing for fifty seats; the competition will definitely be fierce," Xiao Ye thought to himself, already having an idea for the first round of the competition.

Xiao Ye himself barely had any exhaustion, and since he temporarily couldn’t create a Grotto Heaven, after retrieving his Space Ring, he simply found a place and started to comprehend the remaining two and a half levels of Slaughter Principle; if he could gain some insights, his strength would soar again.

After all, with the Time Tower in hand, two days equaled two months.

During these two days, the King Martial Realm experts from various kingdoms casually conversed, and Xiao Ye became a frequent topic of their discussions.

They had witnessed Xiao Ye being blasted into the Death Mountain Range, and they were extremely curious about how he managed to survive and walk out alive, as even they couldn’t detect what had happened inside the mountain range.

Had Xiao Ye truly understood the Slaughter Principle?

Next were Jun Shitian and Nangong Xingyu, whose strengths were absolutely superior among everyone, with a very good chance of securing a top three position.

However, when discussing Jun Shitian’s background, the Golden Roc King only dodged the questions and changed the subject, as if Jun Shitian was a big taboo, even frightening him.

On the third day, as the blood sun rose in the Sky Breaking King Realm, a majestic voice spread forth.

"The ranking battle begins, we will now start the first round!" said the Dynasty Envoy.

Boom!

Suddenly, young Heavenly Prides opened their eyes, their pupils flashing with astonishing war intent, and a powerful aura erupted involuntarily from them.

After two days of rest, the majority had returned to their peak condition.

"I’ve cultivated in hardship for twenty years; this time, I must break into the top fifty!"

"A top ten seat will definitely include one for me!"

...

Loud shouts filled with confidence echoed through the void. Numerous figures surrounded by powerful auras tore through the void, rushing towards those fifty seats.

1,820 people competing for fifty seats was indeed very intense; the first round had just begun and it had already set off a terrifying storm of battle.

Most people’s gazes were fixed on the top ten seats, eager to receive the rewards of the Heavenly God Dynasty.

"Humph, the first seat is mine!" A powerful young man stepped forward, his imposing aura forming a field around him, sweeping away all youngsters in his path and assertively moved towards the first seat.

Everyone couldn’t help but exclaim; this person’s performance in the initial assessment had been mediocre, easily overlooked, yet the strength he exploded with at this moment was so formidable.

"Humph, you wish, get out of my way!" Jun Shitian’s eyes were like lightning, odd totems moved on his handsome face, and he struck at his opponent with his palm.

Immediately, both of their auras surged, terrifying suppression spreading in all directions like two giant waves colliding in the sea.

Pfft!

With just one move, the young man was sent flying by Jun Shitian, spitting blood.

Jun Shitian powerfully occupied the first seat, then provocatively looked towards Xiao Ye.

"Humph!" Xiao Ye snorted coldly, jumping into the air unlike others and flew towards the later seats.

He had already made up his mind; after all, there was a second round in the ranking battle and there was no need to fight to the death initially, revealing his Slaughter Principle.

Nangong Xingyu slightly furrowed his brows, surprised by Xiao Ye’s actions, then diverted his gaze and firmly took the second seat.

"Get out of my way!"

Xiao Ye shouted loudly, displaying the Domineering Dragon Suppressing Sky Fist, and instantly numerous True Dragons burst from his fists, sending the battling young ones flying away.

Without revealing the Slaughter Principle, fighting for a top ten position would be difficult, but it was relatively easier for the later positions.

As his fists flew, no one could withstand him, eventually causing the gathered youths to stop and make way for him, their faces speechless.

"Damn, this guy is so strong, yet he’s bullying us!"

Xiao Ye ignored others and headed straight for the fortieth seat.

Suddenly—

Boom!

A terrifyingly intense Sword Light shattered Heaven, tore through the clouds like Divine Punishment, and viciously struck towards Xiao Ye, evidently someone had made a move against him secretly, and their cultivation was alarmingly powerful.
