Martial Conquest of the Nine Desolates
Chapter 383 - 381: Seven East Emperors

Chapter 383: Chapter 381: Seven East Emperors

The Dynasty is the pinnacle of power in East State, controlling the vast lands and revered by hundreds of kingdoms. Every hundred years, an Emperor Realm Expert ascends the throne, known as the East Emperor, whose dignity deters all directions.

The Heavenly God Dynasty has been established for eight hundred years, spawning eight East Emperors in its enduring and splendid glory, immortal through the river of time. Hundreds of King Martial Realm Experts in East State, just like lords, bow and pay homage to the Heavenly God Dynasty.

The reigning East Emperor of the Heavenly God Dynasty possesses a cultivation that is terrifying beyond compare.

"In the future, I will reach the heights of the East Emperor, not only to be revered among my peers but to be revered throughout the entire East State!" Xiao Ye sat on the giant ship, listening to Mo Ye’s introduction about the Heavenly God Dynasty, a curious gleam flashing in his eyes.

It has been a week since they left the Starfall Royal City. Propelled by the "Sky Wind Chariot," the fastest Royal Artifact, they had long left the territory of Xingyun Kingdom and were sailing towards that vast and lush Heaven and Earth.

Xiao Ye, Nangong Xingyu, and Mo Ye were seated cross-legged on the deck of the giant ship, drinking wine and talking about the Heavenly God Dynasty, besides cultivating.

Nangong Xingyu’s hair danced in the wind, his demeanor ethereal, sitting aside pouring his own drink, rarely speaking.

On the contrary, Mo Ye, having done his homework before departing, revealed many secrets of the Heavenly God Dynasty, opening Xiao Ye’s eyes while also embarrassing him.

"Xiao Ye, the current East Emperor has a son and a daughter who can directly participate in the Dynasty Battle. I’ve heard that both their talents and strengths are terrifying. Although you were the first in the Kingdom Battle, you are still far behind the children of the East Emperor," Mo Ye said.

Since the Kingdom Battle, Xiang Nan died in the Sky Breaking King Realm, and Mo Ye was completely convinced by Xiao Ye’s strength, holding great admiration and looking up to him.

Xiao Ye nodded upon hearing this.

The children of the East Emperor were not only of noble status but also had access to cultivation resources incomparable to his; even a pig with their advantages could have extraordinary strength, let alone the terrifyingly talented children.

"My strength is nothing in East State, I must still strive hard," Xiao Ye thought to himself.

...

The sky was clear, and cloudless.

The fierce sun in the afternoon shone overhead, casting brilliant golden rays.

Suddenly, an ancient war chariot crushing the heaven trailed a giant ship, sailing toward a vast portal.

Needless to say, this was Xiao Ye’s group heading to the Heavenly God Dynasty. Even with the speed of the Sky Wind Chariot, it took them a month to near the Heavenly God Dynasty.

"Have we arrived?"

Xiao Ye, inside the giant ship, walked onto the deck, looking at the radiant portal emitting an aura that tightened his heart.

He learned from Mo Ye that the first East Emperor of the Heavenly God Dynasty had carved out a world from the void as the dwelling place for the dynasty, known as the Heavenly God Emperor Realm.

Through the generations, the Heavenly God Emperor Realm had expanded tremendously, no less vast than the lands of East State, requiring at least a King Martial Realm Expert to access.

The entrance to the Heavenly God Emperor Realm was the vast portal in midair.

Boom!

The moment the Sky Wind Chariot passed through the portal, Xiao Ye felt the giant ship shudder before sailing in, arriving at another grand world.

"This is magnificent!" Mo Ye also came out, standing shoulder to shoulder with Xiao Ye, overlooking the vastness below, his face filled with shock.

Xiao Ye was also astonished.

The terrain of the Heavenly God Emperor Realm undulated with ancient trees everywhere, engulfed in mists, with steep peaks rising from the ground like swords piercing the heaven, with clouds and rainbows, and various Spiritual Beasts appearing.

As the Sky Wind Chariot pulled the ship forward, they saw many lakes, clear and sparkling, with dragons and fish swimming about.

It was a world brimming with infinite vitality, akin to arriving at a Pure Land, allowing one to relax body and soul, containing multiples more Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi than the outside world, immensely beneficial for a Martial Artist’s cultivation.

Such a vast scenery gave Xiao Ye a huge impact, too much to take in at a glance.

"The Heavenly God Emperor Realm is almost equivalent to an East State, the methods of an Emperor Realm Expert are indeed extraordinary," Xiao Ye thought in his heart.

Two hours later, an ancient complex of buildings emerged into Xiao Ye’s view, grand and majestic with an imposing aura.

Above this ancient architectural complex, endless rosy clouds spiraled around.

As they drew closer, the ancient architectural complex fully displayed in front of Xiao Ye.

Looking ahead, there were huge and luxurious palaces standing on the land, appearing like meticulously stacked Imperial Palaces with various houses, skyscrapers, and pavilions placed on the land, incredibly luxurious.

Compared to this architectural complex, the Royal City of King Xingyun seemed like rural stone houses.

Most astonishing were the seven towering divine statues aligned in the center of this architectural complex, all in the form of men wearing armor and cloaks, holding imperial weapons, their profound eyes gazing towards the heaven, exuding an invincible confidence.

Xiao Ye merely gazed for a moment, then felt as if his mind was drawn in; seven magnificent figures stood proudly in the void, receiving the worship of billions, sovereign over all.

"Are they the Seven Venerables of the Heavenly God Dynasty?" Xiao Ye’s mind was shaken, and he developed a sense of adoration for these seven East Emperors.

Rumble!

The Sky Wind Chariot descended slowly with the giant ship from the sky, landing on a vast square outside the city, alongside which numerous other giant ships were parked. Xiao Ye estimated, there had to be no fewer than five hundred.

"Hey, other kingdom’s geniuses have come to the Heavenly God Imperial City."

People came and went incessantly in the square, and they could not help but talk upon seeing Xiao Ye and the others.

"Follow me into the Imperial City," suggested the Starfall King, stepping off the chariot and walking towards the city.

Xiao Ye and the other two jumped off the giant ship, following Starfall King step by step into the city.

Whoosh!

Upon entering the Imperial City, they were immediately greeted by a bustling atmosphere, with a sight of prosperity and flourishing. The busy main roads were filled with traffic and noise.

"Remember, the martial artists you see now are likely the descendants of an East Emperor, remember not to provoke conflict, otherwise even I cannot save you," Starfall King cautioned as they walked.

Xiao Ye nodded.

It was quite natural; the Heavenly God Dynasty had been established for 800 years, through seven East Emperors, whose descendants had proliferated significantly.

"The first thing upon entering the Imperial City is to worship the Seven Venerables," said Starfall King, and soon he led Xiao Ye and the other two to a giant altar.

On the altar, in front of each of the seven East Emperor statues was a large cauldron. The cauldrons bore incense that smoked continually, and martial artists would devoutly walk up to them and bow in deep respect.

"East Emperors above..."

Starfall King muttered under his breath, performing a grand salute facing the statues of the Seven Venerables. Xiao Ye and the others mimicked and followed suit in the formalities.

"You’ve had a tough journey, Brother Xingyun."

After completing their rituals, a general with a goatee beard, accompanied by a troop of soldiers, approached and courteously clasped his hands towards Starfall King. His armor shone with a metallic luster, and his saber glimmered menacingly at his waist.

"The Ninth General." Starfall King’s face lit up with a smile, and he stepped forward to exchange pleasantries with the general.

"He is a King Martial Realm Expert." Xiao Ye’s eyes narrowed as he observed the general, feeling oppressed by the aura the latter unintentionally exuded.

"Your Starfall Kingdom has indeed become quite the sensation in this Kingdom Battle, seizing the top two spots, especially with Xiao Ye taking the first place. When the envoy brought back the news, Emperor Donghuang was overjoyed upon hearing that a genius has finally emerged from East State," the general laughed heartily.

Xiao Ye was speechless.

Did it mean in the eyes of Emperor Donghuang, aside from himself, no one else counted as a genius? That’s setting the bar quite high.

"Presumably, this young brother here must be Xiao Ye, the first place winner of the battle? Achieving first place with the cultivation of a Half-step Void Martial, even I was quite startled."

At this moment, the Ninth General’s gaze landed on Xiao Ye, and his eyes sparkled with a curious light.

"Greetings, Lord Ninth General!" Xiao Ye greeted with neither servility nor overbearing pride.

"Ha, indeed impressive; truly, every generation has its own new talents," the Ninth General waved his hand and then said to Starfall King, "Brother Xingyun, the others from various kingdoms have arrived earlier. I’ll arrange accommodations for you first. Tomorrow night, Emperor Donghuang will personally host a banquet in your honor and present the awards for the Kingdom Battle."

Starfall King nodded with a smile: "Then I’ll have to trouble Ninth General."

"Why stand on ceremony with me, old ninth?" the Ninth General spoke heartily, personally arranging accommodations for Xiao Ye and the others, each obtaining their own independent courtyard.

This place was the outer area of the Imperial City, yet it was lively. Meanwhile, Starfall King was dragged away by the Ninth General for a drink.

Xiao Ye wasn’t too particular about the lodging but was quite looking forward to the banquet the next night.

Nangong Xingyu loved tranquility and did not leave his courtyard after entering, while Mo Ye also knew his own limits and seized every moment to cultivate.

"I wonder what realm the children of Emperor Donghuang have reached? How big is the gap between me and them?" After settling down, Xiao Ye sat cross-legged on the bed, his consciousness sinking into the Time Tower, ready to continue contemplating the Pocket World Secret Technique.

Through his long efforts, he had already deciphered some parts of the Pocket World Secret Technique and would soon attempt to temporarily merge the two realms.

Bang!

Just then, a formidable aura descended from the sky, directly landing in Xiao Ye’s courtyard.

The visitor stepped forward, entering the room and coldly said: "You must be Xiao Ye?"
