Chapter 408: Chapter 404: Each Reveals Their Cards

Swoosh!

Swoosh!

At this moment, numerous powerful Young Talents had already arrived at the battlefield, watching intently. When they saw the two figures in the mid-air, they were immediately stunned.

"Void Artifact!"

"Both of them possess Void Artifacts, what are their identities?"

Gazes full of uncertainty swept over Xiao Ye and Prince Bei Huang.

After entering the Ancient Battlefield, Prince Bei Huang hardly made any appearances and had been diligently cultivating, hence very few could recognize him; the same was the case for Xiao Ye.

With the arrival of the Heavenly Pride from East State and Northern State, they immediately recognized the two and couldn’t help but exclaim.

"Prince Bei Huang!"

"Heavenly Pride King Xiao Ye!"

"What, these two are Prince Bei Huang and Xiao Ye?" The crowd became befuddled upon hearing this.

The prowess of Prince Bei Huang was needless to say, while Xiao Ye, though previously strong, was only ranked in the Second Tier; how could he now have an aura as powerful, capable of contending with those at the Prince Level?

"Haha, this time our East State will completely rise, having three Prince Level powerhouses emerge all at once; let’s see who would dare to underestimate us after this." The Young Talents from East State laughed ecstatically.

This statement brought everyone back to their senses.

Indeed, during the Dynasty Battle, East State had been at a disadvantage, but this time it had completely risen, with three seats in the seldom populated First Tier now occupied by East State.

Immediately, the surrounding crowd cast fearful glances towards the Young Talents from East State, as their stature in their hearts rapidly rose.

"Look quickly, Xiao Ye and Prince Bei Huang have started fighting!" At that moment, a youth shouted loudly, causing people to swiftly focus their minds and watch intently with gleaming eyes.

This was, after all, a peak duel between Prince Level powerhouses; even just watching might provide them with insights and push them another step forward in Martial Arts.

They were extremely anticipatory of the outcome of this battle.

...

Above the Heaven, violent winds danced wildly, and the blood-red Killing Aura and Cold Qi each occupied half of the sky. Above Prince Bei Huang’s head bloomed a deep blue Mysterious Lotus, followed by another illusory Mysterious Lotus.

These two real and illusory Mysterious Lotuses, perfectly harmonious with the Heaven and Earth, were condensed from the Mystical Water Law, stirring up long Yangtze Rivers in the void with rolling waves.

This represented that Prince Bei Huang was nearing the Second Realm in his mastery of the Mysterious Law, an achievement enough to make him a subject of admiration among his peers.

Amidst rolling blood glow, a blood-red lotus also appeared above Xiao Ye’s head, emitting a chilling, intimidating Killing Aura. Massive waves of blood rose from his body, shredding the clouds and piercing through the Nine Heavens.

"The Mystical Water is nearing the Second Realm? Indeed quite powerful!" Xiao Ye fully unleashed the Two-level Slaughter Principle, his dark pupils covered with thick blood glow, and his Sky Breaking Saber in his hand vibrated excitedly, resonating with the Slaughter Principle.

"But I may not necessarily lose to you!"

Killing intent surged wildly in Xiao Ye’s heart. Suddenly bursting forth, he raised the blood-red Sky Breaking Saber high and like a Divine Dragon lunged at Prince Bei Huang, launching an offensive by chopping down a blood-colored Blade Light that seemed to split the entire sky in two.

"It’s said that the attack power of the Slaughter Principle is the strongest among the Three Great Laws. Today, I really want to test and see if the rumors are true."

Prince Bei Huang roared, his spear in hand like a Jiao Dragon emerging from its lair, the spear-tip radiating cold light, carrying the terrifying power of the Mystical Water, collided with Xiao Ye’s Sky Breaking Saber, raising enormous waves in the void.

When they collided, time seemed to pause. The sky first went silent, then burst into a brilliant light, the entire sky ablaze, too dazzling to look at.

Xiao Ye’s blood-red Blade Light trembled, as if about to collapse, it dissipated most of Prince Bei Huang’s attack, the rest shattered by Xiao Ye’s second strike.

Then, taking advantage of the momentum, Xiao Ye burst forth with dense Killing Aura, his blood waves surging boundlessly, and another even more immense Blade Light swept across the Heaven, shattering the void, striking towards Prince Bei Huang.

"The Slaughter Principle is indeed formidable. My realm is much higher than yours, yet the power is not much stronger than yours," remarked Prince Bei Huang, stepping on the void and retreating swiftly to dodge Xiao Ye’s attack.

"The more formidable is yet to come; I’ll let you witness it," Xiao Ye bellowed, thunderously shaking Heaven and Earth, his wild hair flying, his body surging with Blood Qi, his Divine Mountain’s radiant glow behind him dazzling as he flipped his hand, unleashing the Mountain and River Seal, with an Ancient Divine Mountain thundering towards Prince Bei Huang.

"Xiao Ye, we have both utilized Void Artifacts, don’t bother showing off these trifles." Prince Bei Huang spoke disdainfully, with a flick of his spear easily shattering the Ancient Divine Mountain.

After employing the Void Artifacts, their own strength became somewhat negligible, for the power of Void Artifacts far surpassed their own.

Xiao Ye, using his own strength to operate Combat Techniques, of course, was considered trivial.

However, the disdain on Prince Bei Huang’s face soon vanished, because following that Ancient Divine Mountain, two more came suppressing down, overshadowing the sky and towering into the clouds.

"This lad’s own strength can actually continuously operate Eighth Grade Battle Techniques!" Prince Bei Huang’s expression changed slightly, as he thrust his spear forward again, blasting the two Ancient Divine Mountains into smithereens, the terrifying fluctuations sweeping outwards in all directions.

"Sometimes, even minor skills can put you in a very embarrassing situation."

Just then, Xiao Ye’s icy voice sounded, and a vast and boundless blood-colored blade light, like a star river pouring down from the Nine Heavens, ferociously slashed towards Prince Bei Huang, its terrifying power overwhelming the entire world.

Prince Bei Huang’s face changed drastically, as he hadn’t even retracted his spear yet, a critical point in his defense and offense, making Xiao Ye’s timing chillingly precise.

So, this was Xiao Ye’s goal all along, such combat awareness is astonishing!

"Despicable!"

Prince Bei Huang desperately shuffled his body, trying to retract his spear for defense.

But he was a step too late; the blood-red blade light shattered his power defense, cutting into his body, nearly severing his right shoulder, and from the gruesome wound, fresh blood spurted out, staining the Heaven red.

"Prince Bei Huang is injured!" Seeing this, all the onlookers exclaimed in shock, their faces filled with astonishment.

A prince-level powerhouse was actually injured by Xiao Ye; could Xiao Ye be about to win?

"The four princes of the Ancient Battlefield each have terrifying trump cards; they are not so easy to defeat," a tall and dignified Heavenly Pride lightly said.

"Xiao Ye..."

Meanwhile, Prince Donghuang and Nangong Xingyu, who had arrived at the scene, exchanged glances, both seeing the shock in each other’s eyes.

Xiao Ye had become so powerful now, ranked at the peak level of the Ancient Battlefield.

"Good, Xiao Ye, I truly wasn’t mistaken about you. With me, Brother Nangong, and you, East State can certainly dominate and shake the might of the Heavenly God Dynasty!" Prince Donghuang declared passionately with blazing eyes.

...

Above the Heaven, Prince Bei Huang temporarily sealed his wound, his palm holding the spear trembling slightly as he stared at Xiao Ye, his eyes flickering with terrifying rage.

"How dare you injure me, now no one can save you!"

Prince Bei Huang thundered, and suddenly, an extreme cold Qi burst from his body, spreading in all directions, freezing the air within ten miles, forming a vast domain of cold Qi.

This is Prince Bei Huang’s ultimate move, the Eighth Grade Battle Technique Cold Nine Heavens at the Perfect Realm.

Xiao Ye’s body surrounded by blood light, he frowned slightly.

Although this Eighth Grade Battle Technique was powerful, it didn’t pose any threat in the face of Xiao Ye’s own Void Artifact Sky Breaking Saber.

Vaguely, a chill arose in Xiao Ye’s heart as he sensed an extremely terrifying dangerous aura emanating from Prince Bei Huang.

"With my current strength, to feel this way, could it be that Prince Bei Huang is using his trump card?" Xiao Ye inwardly trembled, his gaze growing solemn.

There must be something unusual happening for him to act this way; he must take it seriously.

"Xiao Ye, my Eighth Grade Battle Technique Cold Nine Heavens is not that simple," Prince Bei Huang said in a cold voice.

Boom!

The next moment, above Prince Bei Huang’s head, two Mystical Lotuses, one real and one unreal, suddenly splashed out a vast river with rolling waves, filling the Heaven, then seamlessly merging with the cold Qi domain.

The originally rolling waves of the vast river were instantly frozen by the cold Qi domain, forming large layers of ice in the void, spreading rapidly, bringing a vast and immeasurable force, turning this area into a frozen world.

Bang!

Inside the Ancient Battlefield, giant stones, mountains, rivers, and everything else were frozen and then directly shattered into pieces.

"Too terrifying, run!" The young talents watching the scene quickly retreated. Fortunately, Prince Bei Huang had no intention to harm others, avoiding any casualties.

"What!" Xiao Ye’s face shifted dramatically; Cold Nine Heavens and Mystical Water of beyond the First Realm had fused together, and it seemed that their interaction could greatly enhance their effect, the frozen targets were being shattered by the power of Mystical Water.

"It is then, cold can freeze water... no wonder you cultivated this Eighth Grade Battle Technique!" Xiao Ye felt a surge of fear, admiring Prince Bei Huang for coming up with such a terrifying move.

But now was not the time for him to think more, as the extreme cold Qi mixed with Mystical Water was swiftly advancing to freeze him.

"You have a trump card, and I, Xiao Ye, also have mine!" Xiao Ye no longer dared to keep anything hidden, raised the Sky Breaking Saber high, and bellowed, "Death Slash!"

Boom!

Instantly, two levels of Slaughter Law rapidly converged on the Sky Breaking Saber, a huge blood-red blade light surged, breaking through the Nine Heavens, as if from the Nine Nether, intending to cut through everything in the world.
