Martial Conquest of the Nine Desolates
Chapter 380 - 378 Success

Chapter 380: Chapter 378 Success

Four Cave Heavens rose in unison, their suppression vast, crushing the Ancient Blue Sky. Their power was unparalleled, automatically orbiting around Xiao Ye, rendering the Heavenly Tribulation between heaven and earth incapable of harming him in the slightest.

"Disperse for me!"

Xiao Ye looked up and let out a long howl, as billions of rays of dawn burst forth from his body. The terrifying might covered the skies and swept across all directions, reaching an unbelievable realm of strength, and directly dispelled the surrounding Heavenly Tribulation.

Xiao Ye’s hair was disheveled, the traces of blood on his body could not conceal the sharp edge of the moment, his cold eyes flashing like electricity, likened to a Demon God gazing at the thunder clouds above the Heaven.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The thunder clouds rolled violently, the majestic Heavenly Might surged in this space, and eventually, as if admitting defeat, they stopped raining down tribulations and gradually dissipated, clearing up the sky once again.

"Is it over?" Xiao Ye whispered to himself, looking down to find the Space Ring still intact. He retrieved the last two Cloud Ginseng Fruits and swallowed them together.

With his Cultivation reaching the Void Martial Realm, his Physical Body would become even stronger, capable of healing even if his meridians were shattered.

Hum!

One could see Xiao Ye’s body shining with a priceless light, resonating with the sound like a great bell tolling, bursting with endless vitality. The burned skin on his body rapidly peeled away, revealing new fresh skin that shimmered with color, and the injuries within his body were also gradually healing, no longer a concern.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The four types of Martial Arts True Intent comprehended by Xiao Ye underwent a transformation, turning into four types of Consciousness lurking within his mind. With a thought from Xiao Ye, one type of Consciousness spread out, bringing everything within a hundred miles back to him with utter clarity, including most of Royal City and the entire Sky City—none could escape Xiao Ye’s detection.

Among them, there were about thirty individuals with immensely strong Qi, standing out in the vast sea of people like the sun, easily noticeable. When Xiao Ye’s Consciousness reached out to them, it was repelled.

"They are Void Martial Martial Artists; I didn’t expect so many in the Royal City." Xiao Ye smiled slightly, unconcernedly retracting his Consciousness.

Don’t forget, he has comprehended four kinds of Martial Arts True Intent and possesses four types of Consciousness. In this aspect, he has great potential to explore, and the Cultivation Technique created with the full force of the Supreme Empress is not to be underestimated.

"Finally reached the Void Martial Realm!" Xiao Ye felt emotional, and his heart was uncontrollably excited.

When he first arrived at the True Spirit Continent, the Void Martial Realm was something he had to look up to. But now, he too had entered this realm, stepping into the forest of the powerful, and even possessed the unprecedented four Cave Heavens, strong enough to instantly kill most Void Martial Martial Artists.

Of course, Xiao Ye did not become blindly arrogant.

The True Spirit Continent was too vast. Even among peers, geniuses were as plentiful as carps crossing the river, difficult to count. Behind him were Heavenly Prides such as Jun Shitian and Nangong Xingyu, and ahead was the Iron Blood Emperor’s son who stood at the peak amongst the youths of Central State, both in background and Cultivation far surpassing him. He had no right to be proud yet.

He had his chances, but did that mean others didn’t?

However, Xiao Ye’s greatest reliance was the Time Tower and the Fusion Emperor Road. He believed that as long as he persisted and worked hard, he would eventually surpass those people.

"According to what the Supreme Empress said, after I advance to the Void Martial Realm, I should be eligible to step onto the Fusion Emperor Road." Xiao Ye’s eyes shone intensely, preparing to examine himself when suddenly his heart moved, and he looked towards the distance.

He saw two figures, one behind the other, flying towards him as swiftly as swords, coming over after seeing the tribulation clouds disperse—Jiu Zhu and Fu Xuedao.

Boom!

Leading was Jiu Zhu, clad in a green robe fluttering, a vast Sword Qi Grotto Heaven rose behind him, devouring the Ten Directions Essence Qi, and a strong suppression descended.

Jiu Zhu remained silent, directly driving that Grotto Heaven, rolling towards Xiao Ye to crush him, the overwhelming momentum sweeping out, as if a vast world was pressing down, exploding the air around it.

"Hm?" Xiao Ye frowned slightly, but stood firm like a Rock. Why was Jiu Zhu attacking him?

When he saw the expression on Jiu Zhu’s face, he immediately realized, "Is he trying to test my strength?"

Xiao Ye’s eyes blazed with intensity and War Intent, seizing the opportunity of breaking through and opening up four Cave Heavens. He was extremely confident—even if he was newly promoted to Void Martial, he had the power to crush most of Void Martial.

Boom!

Without any hesitation, Xiao Ye stepped forward, exuding unmatched Overlord Presence, spurred the Overlord Sky Fist, and threw a punch. With Divine Power overwhelming the sky, and his black hair flowing wildly, he met Jiu Zhu’s Sword Dao Grotto Heaven.

With witnesses present and not staking their lives on it, Xiao Ye naturally did not directly drive the four Cave Heavens but instead fought Jiu Zhu with only a portion of his power.

Even so, Xiao Ye’s strength was too overpowering, as if a Young Emperor had revived, executing the ultimate form of Domineering Dragon Suppressing Sky Fist. Countless True Dragons as if from the Heavenly Court, all charged towards the Heaven, emitting terrifying Dragon Might.

This unparalleled and terrifying aura scattered the clouds above, and Jiu Zhu’s Sword Dao Grotto Heaven was shaken nearly to the point of collapse. With just his initial foray into Void Martial, he possessed such might—unprecedented in history and defiant of the entire Cangyu.

In front of Xiao Ye, Jiu Zhu was entirely at a disadvantage.

Pff!

After only a few exchanges, Jiu Zhu was forced to retreat, coughing up blood, his face pale. The force of Xiao Ye’s punches shook his meridians, and further fighting could incapacitate him.

"Damn it, you’re a freak, kid," Jiu Zhu said with a bitter smile.

Fu Xuedao beside him also nodded, his face full of shock.

Xiao Ye’s strength was terrifyingly formidable. It must be known that Jiu Zhu was at Void Martial Level 6 in his cultivation, yet Xiao Ye, who had only just entered the Void Martial Realm and hadn’t even displayed his Grotto Heaven, easily defeated Jiu Zhu.

Even if he and Jiu Zhu joined forces, they probably couldn’t withstand more than twenty moves against Xiao Ye.

In the Void Martial Realm, to possess combat power spanning five levels, what kind of genius was this?

"Lord Jiu Zhu, my apologies."

Xiao Ye, upon seeing the two of them, revealed a hint of a smile on his face.

"Don’t come at us with that routine, you are a martial artist of the Void Martial Realm now, plus your stunning performance in the Kingdom Battle, calling us ’Lord’ is practically killing us with kindness." In front of Xiao Ye, Jiu Zhu no longer held his usual demeanor, even showing a bit of admiration in his expression.

Xiao Ye was momentarily startled, then suddenly understood.

This was a world where power determined status, Jiu Zhu’s words made sense, and Xiao Ye was not someone who put on airs, so he nodded in agreement.

"Xiao Ye, tell me quickly, how did you recover from the backlash of the Slaughter Principle? And how could a mere advance to the Void Martial Realm bring about the Heavenly Tribulation? That could almost be considered a minor King Tribulation," Fu Xuedao asked urgently.

Jiu Zhu also pricked up his ears to listen intently.

"Actually this... I don’t know myself," Xiao Ye pretended to ponder, then shook his head.

He absolutely couldn’t reveal the fact that he had obtained the Supreme Empress Inheritance until his strength was sufficiently powerful.

"A Heavenly Tribulation induced by advancing to the Void Martial Realm has never happened before in the True Spirit Continent. Even the Undefeated Emperor, at Virtual Martial Level 2, attracted a Heavenly Tribulation because his strength was terrifyingly strong. Could it be that, kid, you are more defy-the-heavens than the Undefeated Emperor?" Jiu Zhu muttered.

Xiao Ye’s expression changed slightly; he hadn’t expected that among the Human Race Four Emperors, the most dazzling Undefeated Emperor had such an experience. How did he compare to the Undefeated Emperor from back then?

Jiu Zhu was about to continue speaking when he was interrupted by Fu Xuedao: "Stop the idle chatter. I wonder how Lord Starfall is now; he is still undergoing tribulation."

"Right, Lord Starfall!"

Xiao Ye was shocked, then a color of guilt spread across his face, feeling a burning shame.

In order to save him, King Xingyun had sent him into the True Dragon Pond, yet had to leave the Royal City to find a place to undergo tribulation because of the backlash from the Heavenly Tribulation, while he himself had been chatting and laughing with others.

"I’ll go take a look."

At this moment, Xiao Ye’s injuries had somewhat recovered. His body rose into the air, flying towards the outside of the Royal City, with Jiu Zhu and Fu Xuedao following behind.

"There!"

Xiao Ye arrived outside the Royal City, his gaze sharpening as he looked towards the west, involuntarily inhaling a breath of cold air.

He saw dark clouds shrouding the sky, boundless Thunder Light striking down in unison, innumerable and relentless, like a cover of destructive light extending for hundreds of miles, the area completely transformed into an apocalyptic scene.

This Heavenly Tribulation was more than a hundred times stronger than the one he had passed, no wonder King Starfall had to avoid it by such a distance.

"I truly wonder what the realm of King Martial would be like," Xiao Ye worried for King Xingyun while inwardly musing.

Boom!

As time passed, the Heavenly Tribulation became even more terrifying, like a hundred suns dazzling the eyes, blinding and forbidding, the dreadful might shaking all directions, chilling to the core, as if anything would turn to ash before this Heavenly Tribulation.

This was the power of the heavens, impossible to counter by anyone other than an unmatched warrior.

Finally, after two hours passed, the dense thunderclouds gradually dissipated, and the Heavenly Tribulation ceased.

Anxious in his heart, Xiao Ye was about to fly over when suddenly a disheveled and bloodstained figure stepped through the air towards this place, covering miles with a single step, swiftly passing by.

"Lord Starfall." Xiao Ye recognized the figure and couldn’t help but be stunned, almost bursting into laughter.

Where did this bear any resemblance to that intimidating Lord Starfall who held sway over the heroes, his hair, eyebrows, and robe all burned away, bare and arriving as such, his body also charred, with fierce wounds healing rapidly, at an incredibly fast speed.

This was probably the most wretched moment in Lord Starfall’s life.

"Haha." Jiu Zhu and Fu Xuedao, who had followed, finally couldn’t hold it in and almost burst into tears of laughter.

"Hmph, if you two keep laughing, do you believe I will throw you into the Heavenly Tribulation to taste this agony?" King Xingyun grunted angrily.

At those words, Jiu Zhu and Fu Xuedao immediately shut their mouths and straightened up, not looking sideways.

King Xingyun took clean clothes from his Space Ring, found clear water outside the Royal City to wash up, and then with the three of them flew towards the Sky City.

However, that bald head and singed eyebrows still caused Xiao Ye to burst out laughing.

"Humph, you little brat, come with me, I have something important to tell you!" King Xingyun cast a displeased glance at Xiao Ye.
