Chapter 384: Chapter 382: The Fifth Generation of Donghuang Descendants

The comer questioned Xiao Ye with an arrogant attitude.

Xiao Ye frowned slightly, his consciousness withdrew from the Time Tower, and he opened his eyes.

The comer was a young man, tall and robust, with waterfall-like black hair, very heroic, but his daunting eyes were like those of a venomous snake, cold and frightening.

"Am I asking you if you’re Xiao Ye?" The youth coldly shouted again, with a sharp coldness flashing in his eyes, and a terrifying aura erupted from his body, shattering all the tables and chairs inside the room.

A surge of anger rose in Xiao Ye’s heart. It was a big taboo for a Martial Artist to be disturbed during seclusion, which could lead to a minor loss of opportunity or a severe risk of cultivation deviation.

On this account alone, even if Xiao Ye seriously injured the other party, it would still be considered polite.

What’s more, the comer addressed him in such an impolite manner, with an air of superiority.

"Do I need to answer your question when you have intruded into my courtyard uninvited?" Xiao Ye sat cross-legged on the bed without moving an inch of his body, responding coldly.

The youth suddenly sneered upon hearing this, "Perhaps you don’t know who I am. I am Huang Wuji, the descendant of the fifth-generation East Emperor, and the entire East State and Imperial City once belonged to my Huang Family. What would be the issue with me intruding into your courtyard?"

"The descendant of the fifth-generation East Emperor?" Xiao Ye suddenly understood. It seemed this youth was spoiled by the glory of the fifth-generation East Emperor, which had inflated his ego.

"But that’s all in the past. East State is not surnamed Huang now, so I am not obliged to answer your question. Please leave; I need to continue my Cultivation."

Xiao Ye recalled King Xingyun’s advice, intending not to conflict with the other party, and thus calmly saw him out.

"You dare talk to me like this?"

However, such words enraged Huang Wuji, with flames of anger burning in his eyes and a Grotto Heaven rising behind him. With a flip of his palm, he shattered the void, slapping towards Xiao Ye.

Boom!

The terrifying aura instantly shook the small courtyard, crushing everything inside to dust.

"Hmph, did you really think Xiao Ye is an easy pushover, to be squeezed as you please?" Xiao Ye had been putting up with the aggression, but the other party’s action was too much. If he continued to bear it, he would no longer be Xiao Ye.

Boom!

A surging Grotto Heaven also rose behind Xiao Ye, and he took a step forward and threw a punch, with his blazing punch immediately bursting forth unparalleled power.

Fist met palm, and terrifying forces annihilated simultaneously. The aftermath of the battle turned the whole courtyard into ruins, with deafening noises echoing in the sky.

"What’s going on?"

"Who dares to make a move in the Imperial City, do they not want to live?"

"Isn’t that Huang Wuji? No wonder."

...

The huge commotion here quickly drew the attention of Martial Artists within the Imperial City. Once they recognized the figure of Huang Wuji, a look of fear appeared, and even the volume of their discussions dropped significantly.

"With just that level of strength, you actually won first place in the Kingdom Battle. Seems like even today’s Emperor Donghuang has made a poor judgment. You really disappoint me."

"This Dynasty Battle will still depend on us, the descendants of the East Emperor. You incompetence going there would only bring shame!"

Huang Wuji stepped into the sky, his waterfall-like black hair dancing in the air, looking down at Xiao Ye sarcastically. His words showed great disrespect to the current East Emperor.

Xiao Ye was speechless. Was this person’s pride too excessive? Thinking that basking in the glory of the fifth-generation East Emperor entitled him to criticize the current East Emperor so blatantly?

"Whether I bring shame or not is not for you to worry about. If you dare to provoke me again, I won’t mind splattering your blood within five steps." Since the face-off was inevitable, Xiao Ye naturally wouldn’t hold back.

From the earlier confrontation, Xiao Ye realized that Huang Wuji’s Cultivation level was not strong, only at Void Martial Level 3. But as a descendant of the fifth-generation East Emperor, the Virtue Martial Arts he cultivated were top-notch, allowing him to fight across levels and surpass many.

This was the huge gap caused by the superiority or inferiority of Cultivation Techniques, which becomes particularly evident after advancing to the Void Martial Realm. After all, in the Four Great States, the scripting of Void Martial Realm Techniques is prohibited, and most people can only cultivate low-level Cultivation Techniques.

For instance, when Xiao Ye overcame the Heavenly Tribulation, he effortlessly defeated Jiu Zhu, mainly because the Void Martial Realm Technique Jiu Zhu cultivated was inferior.

Moreover, Huang Wuji had certainly comprehended the Profound Mysteries of the Law, overall, indeed possessing an astonishing power.

Earlier, Xiao Ye had restrained himself to avoid revealing his secrets, merely using the power of a single Grotto Heaven. Yet with his Cultivation still at Cave Heaven Level 1, his strength was only comparable to that of a Half-step Void Martial who had merged four shares of Xuanwu Power. Naturally, in a direct clash, he would be at a significant disadvantage. If he used all his Four Cave Heavens and exhibited his newly cultivated Eighth Grade Combat Techniques, combined with the Level 1 Slaughter Principle, he was confident he could crush the opponent.

"Nangong Xingyu, Mo Ye, what happened?" At this moment, Nangong Xingyu and Mo Ye flew over from the neighboring courtyard to stand with Xiao Ye, facing Huang Wuji together.

"Hmph, two more useless beings. All three of you, come at once, and let me see the level of the East State Youth Generation’s peak," Huang Wuji said, his hands behind his back.

"Darn it, this kid is way too arrogant!" Mo Ye exclaimed in anger, about to rush forward, but was held back by Xiao Ye, who quietly transmitted his power to communicate the identity of their opponent.

After all, this is the Imperial City, and with all eyes on us right now, it’s indeed not suitable to provoke another conflict.

"What? A descendant of the fifth generation East Emperor!" Mo Ye was shocked and retracted his foot, a hint of wariness flashing in his eyes.

The identity of Huang Wuji was extraordinary, not to mention whether he could defeat him or not, even if he could, it would bring a heap of trouble.

"Don’t strike again, someone will stop him soon." Xiao Ye spoke, his gaze towards the depths of the Imperial City where he saw the Ninth General approaching at full speed, with King Xingyun at his side.

"Stop! This is the Imperial City, are you trying to rebel?"

With a roar from the Ninth General, the dignity of a King Martial Realm brought immense pressure to Xiao Ye and the others, sending chills through their bodies.

When the Ninth General’s gaze landed on Huang Wuji, his expression changed, and he squeezed out a smile and said, "Young Master Huang, these are the Heavenly Prides of the East State, invited by Emperor Donghuang himself, is it really appropriate to strike?"

With an expressionless face, Huang Wuji glanced at the Ninth General and then coldly said to Xiao Ye, "Kid, your attitude has seriously angered me, I will teach you a lesson myself at tomorrow’s banquet."

Huang Wuji’s words came to an abrupt halt, but the threatening tone was unmistakable.

Having said his piece, Huang Wuji traversed the void and flew towards the depths of the Imperial City.

"Alright, disperse!" Seeing Huang Wuji leave, the Ninth General noticeably sighed in relief and then coldly shouted to the crowd that had gathered.

Afterward, the Ninth General, along with Xiao Ye and the others, settled down in Mo Ye’s residence.

"Sigh, I forgot to tell you, among the youth generation in the Imperial City, the descendants of the previous East Emperor are the most troublesome."

"Each one of them is proud and untamed, living in the shadow of their ancestors’ glory, they carry a natural sense of superiority when facing the Heavenly Prides of the East State. Although their strength may not match the current Princes and Princesses, they are still very formidable, most of them are comparable to the top three of your Kingdom Battle, do not provoke them carelessly, whatever the outcome, it will bring trouble," the Ninth General cautioned.

Xiao Ye pursed his lips; the sense of superiority of these people was simply overwhelming. He had already received a preview, while Mo Ye and Nangong Xingyu had an odd look on their faces, clearly not expecting these people to be so troublesome.

"Especially Huang Wuji, Xiao Ye, his strength is probably a bit stronger than what you displayed in the Sky Breaking King Realm, and since you are the champion of the battle, he will definitely target you at tomorrow’s banquet, you should be careful," the Ninth General said.

Xiao Ye nodded, a hint of cold light in his eyes.

If the other party dared to be aggressive, even if it’s a descendant of the fifth generation East Emperor, he would fight back just the same.

After making further arrangements, the Ninth General arranged another residence for Xiao Ye and then left the area, while King Xingyun stayed behind to avoid any further incidents.

The entire Imperial City was too vast, and Xiao Ye had not yet encountered anyone he knew, so he hid in his room and continued to comprehend the Pocket World Secret Technique.

Boom!

The Four Emperor Skills—a volume of the Void Martial Scroll—was extremely vast. Xiao Ye temporarily put aside other content and focused on comprehending the part about the Pocket World Secret Technique. Within the room, glowing characters emerged around him, creating a remarkable spectacle.

Almost every moment, Xiao Ye would have new insights as everything seemed to fall into place naturally. After breaking through a bottleneck, a shining mantra of characters appeared in Xiao Ye’s mind.

"I’ve succeeded!" Xiao Ye’s consciousness exited the Time Tower, his face full of excitement.

Although it was only a secret technique from the Four Emperor Skills, it was still profound and vast. What he had now comprehended was the first level of the Pocket World Secret Technique, which allowed him to temporarily fuse two of the Cave Heavens.

"The fusion of the two Cave Heavens greatly increases my strength, and combined with the Great Emperor Technique I practice, I should at least no longer be passive!" Excitement shone in Xiao Ye’s eyes.

Without further hesitation, Xiao Ye began to cultivate the first level of the Pocket World Secret Technique.

With the aid of the Time Tower, and considering the first level of the Pocket World Secret Technique was not that difficult to master, Xiao Ye quickly grasped the knack. The Fire Cave Heaven and Earth Cave Heaven rose up behind him, and with his encouragement, they slowly merged, forming a new and majestic Cave Heaven.

Boom!

Instantly, the power of fire and earth intermingled within the new Cave Heaven, coursing through Xiao Ye’s body.

"My strength has increased tenfold with just one Cave Heaven!" Xiao Ye was shaken, his face incredulous; he hadn’t expected that the fusion of two Cave Heavens could produce such a terrifying effect.

"And this new Cave Heaven seems to be of a much higher level than the previous Cave Heavens. I wonder what will happen if four Cave Heavens are merged," Xiao Ye familiarized himself with the new power.

Thump, thump!

Just then, there was a knock on the door, and Mo Ye’s voice came through, "Xiao Ye, hurry up and come out, Emperor Donghuang’s banquet has started, and all the Heavenly Prides from the various kingdoms have set off, we should go too."

Xiao Ye was taken aback; he had been cultivating for a day and a night.

"Alright!" Xiao Ye got up, opened the door, and stepped out.
