Chapter 390: Chapter 386 Emperor’s Undying Order

(ps: I’m very sorry, yesterday I had to work overtime in the company from six o’clock to midnight, I didn’t even have time to send an announcement, let alone update. I will make up for it today.)

These three rewards far exceeded Xiao Ye’s expectations, causing his eyes to instantly redden and his breath to deepen.

Top-grade Essence Stones are a vast fortune for any Martial Artist in the Void Martial Realm. Previously, in the Heavenly King Realm, just one Top-grade Essence Stone caused a bloody battle among the Heavenly Prides.

If this number were to leak out, it would definitely tempt experts in the King Martial Realm to take risks and offend the East Emperor to strike at Xiao Ye.

The third reward was even more astonishing.

In East State, one can only become a prince ruling over his territory and commanding his people after ascending to the King Martial Realm which had been the consensus.

However, Xiao Ye has now rewritten history. Without being in the King Martial Realm, he already has the potential to open territories and establish a Kingdom, equivalent to the status of a King Martial Realm expert in the Heavenly God Dynasty, which is precisely what deeply moved him.

Once he establishes his Kingdom in East State, he can naturally enlist soldiers, harbor Martial Artists from the Yulan Domain, forever change the humble status of the Martial Artists from the Endless Sea, ensuring that no one dares to bully the Martial Artists from the Endless Sea anymore, and help him to achieve this goal ahead of time.

It can be said that he is the first person from the Endless Sea Martial Artists to stand at such a height, creating a record, from now on the possibility of the rise of the Martial Artists from the Endless Sea is also a significant meaning!

As for the second reward, what is the Forbidden Artifact Emperor’s Undying Order? Suppressing his excitement, Xiao Ye asked Emperor Donghuang.

Emperor Donghuang waved his hand and took out a token that sparkled with golden brilliance, exuding a vast ocean-like life essence. Just a slight release made Xiao Ye feel incredibly relaxed, and all the pores on his body opened up.

"The so-called Emperor’s Undying Order is a treasure that can only be crafted by an Emperor Realm Expert. It contains the Divine Skills of an Emperor Realm Expert. As long as it’s not from an Emperor Realm Expert, even if you are left with a chunk of flesh, it can revive you from a fire and even elevate your cultivation."

"This Emperor’s Undying Order only works in the Void Martial Realm and can be used only twice," explained Emperor Donghuang.

"What?"

Xiao Ye was mentally shaken.

During his time in the Genius Camp, he had heard that Emperor Realm Experts could traverse heaven and earth, recognized by nature, having escaped the constraints of the physical body, they could roam the universe, and a single drop of blood could bring them back to life, making them very hard to kill.

Yet this Emperor’s Undying Order could allow a Void Martial Realm Martial Artist to hold the powers of an Emperor Realm Expert twice, which is more terrifying than any Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, the value is truly infinite.

Such a token is the most precious among the three rewards, probably because Emperor Donghuang fears that he might face retribution from Jun Shitian, so he gave it out.

"It’s harder to refine the Emperor’s Undying Order than an Emperor Weapon, hence very rare. Moreover, due to its heaven-defying effects, in order to maintain the balance, many Emperor Realm Experts have a consensus not to easily bestow it to others, hence it is termed as a Forbidden Artifact," lamented Emperor Donghuang.

Xiao Ye nodded in agreement.

Just imagine, a Martial Artist in the Void Martial Realm holding the Emperor’s Undying Order, even a King Martial Realm Expert couldn’t kill him, wouldn’t that disrupt the balance?

Meanwhile, Xiao Ye felt immensely grateful. Such a precious treasure was given to him by Emperor Donghuang because he won first place in the Kingdom Battle, which was unexpected.

Seeing Xiao Ye’s thoughts, Emperor Donghuang smiled and said: "I bestow you the Emperor’s Undying Order in hopes that you will make a remarkable impression in the Dynasty Battle, and like my sons and daughters, be selected by the top forces in Central State."

"The more talents the Heavenly God Dynasty sends to Central State, the more it will be favored by rewards from Central State. I, too, can continue the steps of the ancient Emperors of East and enter the supreme Martial Arts Holy Land," Emperor Donghuang’s eyes were filled with expectations.

Hearing this, Xiao Ye suddenly realized. This was akin to a transaction. He had the potential, that’s why Emperor Donghuang bestowed the Emperor’s Undying Order to him, with an intention to win him over.

Xiao Ye did not find this distasteful. Each of the three rewards was astonishing and greatly beneficial to him.

Moreover, it appeared that the successive Emperors of East in the Heavenly God Dynasty had all entered Central State.

"Let me now tell you the usage of the East Emperor’s Undying Order." Emperor Donghuang explained in detail.

The East Emperor’s Undying Order was a great treasure, but the method to use it was quite simple, and Xiao Ye quickly learned it.

"Accept!"

Following the explanation from Emperor Donghuang, Xiao Ye dripped blood on the Undying Order, immediately, the Undying Order burst into deafening sounds and transformed into a stream of light rushing towards his body and merged with him.

"This is really convenient." Xiao Ye slightly smiled. After merging, the Undying Order, when his life was fading, would automatically erupt without his triggering.

With the Undying Order, his life was now secure in the Dynasty Battle.

Subsequently, Emperor Donghuang took out six hundred Top-grade Essence Stones and Xiao Ye stored them in his Space Ring.

"Xiao Ye, in ten days, I will send you to the battlefield of the Dynasty Battle. Moreover, I will soon proclaim to the world, crowning you as Heavenly Pride King," Emperor Donghuang waved his hand.

Heavenly Pride King, that is, the King among the Young Talents.

Xiao Ye’s was full of excitement, after all, he was still a 26-year-old youth, much younger than other Heavenly Prides, naturally excited about glory.

From Yulan Domain to East State, step by step he reached this position and finally gained some status.

"Thanks to Emperor Donghuang!"

Xiao Ye bowed to Emperor Donghuang, then left the Great Hall of Heroes and returned to his residence on the outskirts of the Imperial City.

He had just returned when King Xingyun, Nangong Xingyu, and Mo Ye gathered around him.

"Xiao Ye, what reward did Emperor Donghuang give you?" King Xingyun asked with a smile, his face glowing, for he had also received a reward from Emperor Donghuang due to Xiao Ye and Nangong Xingyu’s outstanding performances.

"Yes, Emperor Donghuang kept you behind alone, he must have given you some valuable treasure, right?" Mo Ye also asked.

Although Nangong Xingyu did not speak, he too looked curious.

Xiao Ye simply smiled and did not answer. Since the matter was significant, he did not want to expose the details of his reward, understanding the idiom; an innocent man bears the blame for possessing valuable jade.

Seeing this, King Xingyun smiled wryly, "It was presumptuous of me, the three of you should concentrate on your cultivation."

Hearing these words, Mo Ye and Nangong Xingyu tactfully left with King Xingyun.

Xiao Ye then locked the doors and windows, and finally sat down cross-legged in the room.

"Six hundred top-grade essence stones, enough for me to cultivate for a long time. Plus, I feel that my cultivation is about to break through..." Xiao Ye’s eyes flickered, a smile appeared on his face as he took out a top-grade essence stone and immersed himself in cultivation.

That day, all the young talents who received the rewards were immersed in joy, but soon, a decree from Emperor Donghuang spread from the Imperial City, causing a stir throughout the entire Heavenly God Emperor Realm.

Xiao Ye, Heavenly Pride King!

Since the founding of the Heavenly God Dynasty, he was the first who had not yet reached King Martial Realm, yet was enthroned as a king, his status equal to that of hundreds of King Martial Realm experts.

Xiao Ye’s name once again spread across the vast lands of East State in a dazzling manner, becoming a focal point. Together with his actions at the banquet, where he defeated many of Donghuang’s descendants, his fame skyrocketed, and many compared him with current princes and princesses.

Despite the external commotion, Xiao Ye never left his home, completely engrossed in cultivation.

On the fifth day, terrifying and immense power fluctuations emerged from Xiao Ye’s courtyard, rushing out in all directions.

"Level 2 Virtual Martial Realm!"

Xiao Ye opened his eyes, their brilliant divine light piercing the heavens. His cultivation had broken through a barrier, his whole body wrapped in intense light, dazzling like a sun.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Four Grotto Heavens appeared beside Xiao Ye, emanating terrifying fluctuations, each upgrading a level and doubling in size, which greatly increased Xiao Ye’s power.

Xiao Ye quickly concealed his aura. After all, this was the Heavenly God Emperor Realm, with too many powerful beings around. Although the presence of Emperor Donghuang meant they dared not act recklessly, the commotion from this breakthrough could attract others’ attention.

Indeed, the next moment, several enormously powerful King Martial Intents streaked through the void, withdrawing quickly upon discovering it was Xiao Ye.

"Really troublesome, it seems I need to find secluded places for future breakthroughs." Xiao Ye thought to himself, then continued to contemplate his cultivation.

The Virtual Martial Realm values Mysterious Rules over cultivation level because unless one cultivates top-tier or Great Emperor Virtual Martial techniques, increases in cultivation levels don’t significantly boost one’s strength.

But Xiao Ye was different; having opened four Grotto Heavens, every breakthrough in cultivation level caused his strength to surge.

"With the foundational power of my two Grotto Heavens, I am almost on par with those who practice upper-class Virtual Martial Arts. With all four Grotto Heavens in play, I can certainly surpass those who cultivate Emperor Techniques, and with mere power, dominate strong foes in the Dynasty Battle!"

Xiao Ye remembered his duels during the banquet, filled with immense confidence.

If not for the fear of exposing his secrets, he would indeed wish to activate all four Grotto Heavens in a duel. Now, however, he must endure and keep them as a means of protecting his life.

"I’ll strive to fully comprehend the Grotto Heaven secret technique soon so that I can righteously utilize the power of all four Grotto Heavens." Xiao Ye thought to himself, then stood up and walked out the door.

As his power could hardly increase further in a short period, and seclusion was useless, it was better to go out and learn about the news of the Dynasty Battle.

Upon stepping out, Xiao Ye found the Heavenly God Emperor Realm in a frenzy.

After some inquiries, it turned out that two days ago, the current prince emerged from seclusion, having comprehended the Earth’s Profound Mystery from the Five Elements Law to an extremely terrifying degree. With a cultivation at Level 2 Virtual Martial Realm, he defeated the commander of the Imperial Capital Guards, who was at Level 7 Virtual Martial Realm, astonishing everyone.

Many King Martial Realm experts witnessed this battle, stating that the prince’s understanding of Earth’s Profound Mystery was close to reaching the Second Realm, equivalent to comprehending the Slaughter Principle at Level 3.

Hearing this, Xiao Ye’s expression changed slightly.

Being the commander of the Imperial Capital Guards naturally meant formidable strength.

Moreover, every Mysterious Rule is divided into five realms, with complete comprehension being one of the conditions to ascend to King Martial Realm. The current prince was incredibly fearsome, far stronger than Donghuang’s descendants.

Xiao Ye admitted to himself that even with all four Grotto Heavens deployed, along with the Level 1 Slaughter Principle, he might not be able to contend with the current prince.

It seems the Dynasty Battle is not as simple as he had imagined.
