Martial Conquest of the Nine Desolates
Chapter 381 - 379: Four Emperor Skills

Chapter 381: Chapter 379: Four Emperor Skills

After the Heavenly Tribulation, with the handling of Jiu Zhu and Fu Xuedao, Royal City and Sky City restored their previous order, while announcing to the outside world that surviving the Heavenly Tribulation was the feat of a powerful Martial Artist from Xingyun Kingdom.

At this time, King Xingyun brought Xiao Ye to a palace.

Just as Xiao Ye anticipated, King Xingyun first inquired about the Heavenly Tribulation, as the event was astoundingly rare, almost never seen in the annals of history.

However, after Xiao Ye skillfully dodged the question, King Xingyun did not pursue any further. After all, it is quite normal for geniuses to have secrets, and even the closest relationships do not justify revealing everything.

"Xiao Ye, do you know your ranking in the Kingdom Battle?" King Xingyun asked.

Xiao Ye shook his head, his mind filled with curiosity about what ranking the Dynasty Envoy would have given him after he fell unconscious.

"After the Kingdom Battle, the Heavenly God Dynasty sent a message that as long as you could awaken from the rebound of the Slaughter Principle, then you shall be ranked first!" King Xingyun said gravely.

Joy covered Xiao Ye’s face - he was actually the first? Being number one among all the Young Talents of East State was exciting, not to mention the substantial rewards that the Heavenly God Dynasty must have for the first place.

"Fortunately, you’ve awoken. In a few days, the top five hundred Heavenly Pride from the Kingdom Battle will be heading to the Heavenly God Dynasty, and the top fifty will receive their rewards."

At this point, King Xingyun’s expression became solemn: "However, what I want to discuss with you now is about the Void Martial Realm. It concerns the upcoming Dynasty Battle."

Xiao Ye braced himself attentively and nodded, all ears for what was to be said.

"To open a Grotto Heaven and advance to the Void Martial Realm, to step onto the path of comprehending the Law Profound Mysteries, is considered entering the forest of the strong on True Spirit Continent."

"At this realm, Cultivation becomes secondary, and understanding the mysteries of the Law is the most critical. Don’t assume that those with only Level 1 Void Martial Cultivation are weak; some can instantly defeat those at Virtual Martial Level 7, or even Virtual Martial Ninth Level."

"That’s an exaggeration!" Xiao Ye couldn’t help but gasp in amazement, his face full of disbelief.

Virtual Martial Level 1 defeating Virtual Martial Ninth Level? That would require terrifying strength.

Seeing Xiao Ye’s reaction, King Xingyun smiled slightly: "That’s not an exaggeration at all. Among the Human Race Four Emperors in the Void Martial Realm, which one hasn’t easily traversed eight or nine realms to vanquish enemies?"

"The most astonishing Undefeated Emperor, when he was at Virtual Martial Level 2, killed an expert of the King Martial Realm, precisely because his comprehension of the Law’s Profound Mysteries surpassed that of many King Martial, hence even at Virtual Martial Level 2, he attracted the King Tribulation, causing a sensation, leaving behind an immortal legend."

Xiao Ye twitched at the corner of his mouth, is this even human?

King Martial and Virtual Martial are as different as heaven and earth, and there are so many realms in between – and yet one can kill across them?

Suddenly, Xiao Ye’s self-satisfaction about having opened four Cave Heavens ceased to exist.

It seems impossible for him to dominate the Void Martial Realm merely on the basis of the four Cave Heavens; this realm is nothing like what he had imagined - the Law Profound Mystery is the ultimate power everyone seeks.

"The path of Law Profound Mysteries is so vast; with each Mystery further divided into Five Great Realms. Fully comprehending one Mystery or advancing the Slaughter Law to Level 10, along with Cave Heaven Evolution Perfect, one can progress to the King Martial Realm."

"That’s why many people focus on comprehending Law Profound Mysteries and temporarily give up on advancing their Cultivation," King Xingyun sighed.

Xiao Ye hurriedly made a mental note. This was the first time he had heard such secrets about advancing to King Martial Realm – the difficulty of these two conditions goes without saying, no wonder experts in the King Martial Realm are so rare.

"Looking at the East State Youth Generation, there’s no one who has understood a Mystery to the First Realm, but the other Three Great States certainly have such geniuses. They will be your opponents in the Dynasty Battle, and you must be careful," King Xingyun cautioned.

Xiao Ye frowned slightly - it seemed that among the Four Great States, East State’s martial prowess was the most backward, at a disadvantage in the Dynasty Battle.

"The more challenging it is, the more exciting the challenge. Only with strong opponents can one advance." Xiao Ye quickly adjusted his mindset, looking forward to the Dynasty Battle very much.

Afterward, Xiao Ye consulted King Xingyun on a few more questions, to which King Xingyun answered everything, trying his best to assist.

"In three days, I will take you to the Heavenly God Dynasty, get ready," King Xingyun said at last.

...

That day, Xiao Ye declined King Xingyun’s offer to stay and said a brief farewell to everyone from the Genius Camp, then he left the Royal City.

"After promoting to the Void Martial Realm, even my flying speed has increased a lot." Xiao Ye flew through the air, covering hundreds of miles in just the time it takes an incense stick to burn.

"Let’s do the closure for preparation here." Xiao Ye’s eyes narrowed, and he plunged toward a vast mountain range, then he hollowed out a mountain peak and entered inside.

"The Empress said that as long as I advanced to the Void Martial Realm, I would be qualified to open the Fusion Emperor Road," Xiao Ye’s heart pounded with excitement.

He came to this sparsely inhabited place to cultivate in seclusion, to avoid prying eyes, and then to start opening the Fusion Emperor Road qualification because the regular Void Martial Realm Techniques were not suitable for him with the four Cave Heavens that he had opened.

Now Xiao Ye sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and began to inspect his own body.

As time ticked away, a divine glow circulated over Xiao Ye’s body. A mysterious aura, as if breaking through constraints, emanated from within him.

Buzz!

Following that, thunderous roars erupted from within Xiao Ye’s body, as his blood qi surged like the mighty Yangtze River, creating a terrifying torrent that soared into the sky, causing the belly of the mountain to tremble.

That fearsome blood qi interwove in the void, eventually revealing four giant cauldrons, like four massive stars, each emitting an aura that seemed to suppress all heavens.

"So it is! The Four Cauldrons have appeared!"

Xiao Ye opened his eyes, his gaze firmly locked onto the four giant cauldrons, seeing above each cauldron, stood a figure that seemed to crush eons, under which all creatures of heaven and earth appeared to wail.

Xiao Ye naturally understood that these four figures must be the images of the Human Race Four Emperors, each an invincible existence.

Boom!

The four cauldrons trembled violently, releasing four vast, boundless auras. The four figures stepped forward simultaneously, shining brightly, then converged together, turning into a torrent of information that rushed towards Xiao Ye’s mind.

"Ah!"

Xiao Ye’s head felt like it was splitting, his soul trembled, muscles tensed, sweat poured down, soaking his robe.

He clenched his teeth, desperately enduring the pain, because this torrent of information could very well be the qualification for the Fusion Emperor Road.

Within the belly of the mountain, wails of unbearable agony sounded from time to time. After the duration of an incense stick’s burning time, the torrent of information finally ceased, and the four cauldrons in the void also slowly disappeared.

"It’s finally over." Xiao Ye lay on the ground, gasping for air.

Just this short while felt as long as centuries to Xiao Ye, he feared if it lasted any longer, he wouldn’t be able to hold on.

"Let’s see what the qualifications for the Fusion Emperor Road are." After resting for a moment, Xiao Ye leapt up, examining the information torrent in his mind.

Soon, Xiao Ye was astounded: "This..."

The information contained within was immense, each character shone like a star, deeply imprinted into Xiao Ye’s mind, impossible to forget even if he wanted to.

Overall, the information torrent was divided into three scrolls: Void Martial Scroll, King Martial Scroll, and Emperor Martial Scroll.

The content of the King Martial Scroll and Emperor Martial Scroll was like reading an arcane tome to Xiao Ye; after looking at just a dozen or so characters of the King Martial Scroll, his soul felt a pain as if pricked by needles, frightening him enough to stop immediately, his face turning pale.

"It seems that one can only peruse the content of a scroll when one’s cultivation reaches a corresponding realm." With lingering fear, Xiao Ye then checked the content of the Void Martial Scroll.

Although it was still very taxing on the spirit, at least he could understand this scroll.

"To claim the title of Emperor, one needs to comprehend the Law Profound Mysteries, understand oneself, be recognized by heaven and earth, and embark on a path that leads directly to the peak of Martial Arts."

"After the Human Race Four Emperors claimed their titles, based on their own enlightenment in Martial Arts and the Mysteries they comprehended, each created their own Great Emperor Technique."

"In order to create the Fusion Emperor Road, I devoted immense effort to integrate the four Great Emperor Techniques into one, resulting in a new Four Emperor Skills. However, the primary condition to cultivate it is the establishment of Four Cave Heavens."

At the beginning of the Void Martial Scroll, these words were left, as if a supremely arrogant woman standing in the Nine Heavens was explaining the Martial Arts in front of Xiao Ye, passing on an endless legacy.

"Great Emperor Technique!" Xiao Ye’s eyes widened with ecstasy.

The massive content of this information torrent was actually the integration of the cultivation techniques of the four Great Emperors, known as the Four Emperor Skills.

Martial Arts techniques can be superior or inferior; of course, Xiao Ye knew this. But even the strongest technique was nothing compared to the Great Emperor Technique, and what he had was the Four Emperor Skills, which transcended even that.

Why wouldn’t Xiao Ye be excited?

Moreover, he had created the unprecedented Four Cave Heavens; it’s possible other Void Martial Realm Techniques weren’t suitable for him.

"The Four Emperor Skills are the cultivation methods of the four Great Emperors in the Void Martial Realm, indicating the Law Profound Mysteries they comprehended. With the Four Cave Heavens as the foundation, the Emperor’s Power of the four Great Emperors can be manifested in one person!" Xiao Ye’s eyes shone.

Treasure!

This is an absolute treasure!

This is tantamount to presenting the past of the four Great Emperors directly before him!

If this news were to spread, the entire True Spirit Continent would go mad, and the Four Great Emperor Domains of Central State would spare no expense to pursue him.

Of course, the difficulty of cultivating the Four Emperor Skills was immense, as were the resources required. It was like a key that could open a door leading to the supreme peak for Xiao Ye, but how far he could walk still depended on Xiao Ye himself.

Xiao Ye finally understood why it was called the qualification for the Fusion Emperor Road; having the Four Emperor Skills didn’t guarantee success.

"Why did the Empress leave her legacy in Central State but placed the Four Emperor Skills in the Yulan Domain?" Xiao Ye found it very peculiar.
