Chapter 413: Chapter 409 Heavenly Incomplete Arrow Technique

Deep within the sea, Xiao Ye’s expression was sharp as sparks flickered in his eyes, facing Tian Yi not far away.

At this moment, Tian Yi was drawing the bowstring into a full moon shape, with a light arrow coalescing in his hands. The terrifying aura firmly locked onto Xiao Ye, ready to release the ultimate arrow as soon as his hand was released.

"Young man, do you feel your death is certain, so you choose not to flee? I can send you on your way now." Tian Yi said coldly, the light arrow in his hand earth-shattering, parting the surrounding seawater to form a layer devoid of water.

"Senior Tian Yi, we are not accomplices of the person who stole your treasure. We were also used by him, please believe me," Xiao Ye spoke and did not wish to truly confront Tian Yi and escalate the conflict.

"Hmph, still trying to argue at the brink of death!" Tian Yi coldly huffed, "No matter what excuse you find today, you’re certainly going to die!"

Upon hearing these words, Xiao Ye also felt quite irritated, as Tian Yi was indeed failing to distinguish right from wrong, refusing to listen to explanations before taking action.

"Then I have no choice!" Suddenly, dazzling divine radiance burst forth from Xiao Ye’s eyes. A terrifying and overwhelming aura rose from him, stirring the heaven-high waves.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

In the next instant, the rolling seawater evaporated completely, and a huge vortex formed around Xiao Ye as the center, with surrounding waves raging. Any approach within a hundred steps of Xiao Ye was automatically vaporized.

"This..." Far away, Tian Yi’s expression changed drastically, staring at Xiao Ye in disbelief.

The aura emanating from Xiao Ye at this moment caused even him to tremble.

It should be known that Tian Yi, more than eight thousand years ago, could kill enemies thousands of miles away with his Heavenly Incomplete Bow, leaving behind a formidable reputation that chilled the hearts of countless young talents.

And now, the feeling Xiao Ye gave him was very much like his friend, the Iron Blood Emperor in his youth!

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

After four thunderous sounds, four Grotto Heavens slowly rose behind Xiao Ye, lined up side by side. Each was filled with endless divine light leaping forth, casting Xiao Ye in a light as if a Heavenly God had descended, every strand of hair glowing.

Four kinds of light circulated over Xiao Ye’s body, with the immense pillars of light piercing into the Nine Heavens, like four suns illuminating the seabed.

"Four Cave Heavens, how is this possible!" Seeing this, Tian Yi was dumbfounded, "Although I have lived here for over eight thousand years as a Heroic Spirit, I know that since ancient times, Martial Artists at the Void Martial Realm could only open one Grotto Heaven!"

At this time, like a bolt of lightning, Xiao Ye’s figure shot towards Tian Yi with a punch.

"Senior Tian Yi, since you do not believe me and for the sake of my life, I can only offend you!" Xiao Ye roared, with golden light shining all around. He activated the Infinite Radiant Sun Fist, his fists burning with the power of the four Cave Heavens, resplendent light hammering towards Tian Yi.

"Hmph! Don’t think that a trick can scare me, die!" Roaring, Tian Yi released the bowstring. The light arrow, like a divine dragon, with a massive tail, shot towards Xiao Ye.

Boom!

The two ultimate forces collided without inhibition, and a ferocious shockwave rushed forth. The void shattered, the sea within hundreds of miles evaporated, the whole world trembled, and countless ferocious beasts of the seabed were shaken to death, turning into a mist of blood.

"As expected, it was blocked!" Xiao Ye swung his fists, shattering the light arrow to pieces, and though his body was halted by the recoil, he suffered no injury.

Compared to when he was in the Ancient Forest, his strength had increased significantly, nearing the Void Martial Level 3. Now, with the emergence of the four Cave Heavens, his strength surged to a terrifying level, surpassing the use of the Sky Breaking Saber.

His overall strength was now undeniably the first in the entire Ancient Battlefield, and probably only a genius who had comprehended the mysteriousness to the Second Realm could contend with him.

Swoosh!

Just then, another light arrow shot over from a tricky angle, its fierce radiance exploding, aiming to annihilate Xiao Ye.

"Still not giving up, Senior Tian Yi? Your arrow technique isn’t that great; it’s not your era anymore!" Xiao Ye’s hair danced wildly, his expression arrogant. He reached out to grab the light arrow in his hand. As power surged, he then clenched his fist tightly.

Boom!

The light arrow exploded directly in his hand, unleashing a powerful shockwave, yet it failed to shake Xiao Ye’s body in the slightest.

"These four Cave Heavens are all real, who exactly is this young man?" Tian Yi emerged from the shadows with difficulty, his gaze heavy as he looked at Xiao Ye, his form more ethereal than before, evidently having expended a great deal.

"Senior Tian Yi, do you still wish to attack me?" Xiao Ye looked at Tian Yi with a calm expression and spoke.

Hearing this, Tian Yi showed a bitter smile and waved his hand, "With your strength, if you wanted to seize my Heavenly Incomplete Bow, you could’ve simply done so directly, because my arrows cannot harm you at all. You do not need anyone to collaborate from inside or outside, so I believe you are not an accomplice of that thief."

"Sigh, you’re right, it is indeed your era now. I have truly become old. It’s the way of the world for the old to give way to the new. You were actually able to create Four Cave Heavens, truly unprecedented." Senior Tian Yi sounded somewhat deflated, his speech imbued with a sense of vicissitude.

Hearing Senior Tian Yi say this, Xiao Ye nodded and retracted his Grotto Heavens, flying over to Tian Yi.

He and Senior Tian Yi never really had deep-seated hatred, and since he wasn’t one to hold petty grudges, he instead held a sense of respect for this friend of the Iron Blood Emperor. The injuries on his body were not enough to make him unforgiving towards Senior Tian Yi.

"Could you tell me how you managed to create the Four Cave Heavens? Your strength alone can now crush everything." Senior Tian Yi’s gaze burned intensely as he asked.

Xiao Ye smiled faintly upon hearing this but remained silent.

"I’ve been presumptuous. My physical body is already lost, with only a lingering obsession remaining. I can’t even draw the Heavenly Incomplete Bow; even if I knew the method to create Four Cave Heavens, I couldn’t cultivate it anymore," said Senior Tian Yi with considerable tact.

Every genius has their secrets, which can’t just be shared with anyone, especially such astonishing ones.

"Senior Tian Yi, the matter of the Four Cave Heavens is of great consequence. I hope you can keep this secret for me." Xiao Ye said earnestly. If it weren’t for the sake of preserving his life and the expense of using the Emperor’s Undying Order,

"Of course, but on one condition - you must help me retrieve the Heavenly Incomplete Bow. I will not permit a petty thief to tarnish my Heavenly Incomplete Bow!" The memory of the Heavenly Incomplete Bow being stealthily taken away by the South Emperor’s Prince set a flame of anger dancing in his eyes.

Hearing these words, Xiao Ye’s expression stirred, and he asked, "Senior Tian Yi, is the Heavenly Incomplete Bow that powerful? Why would the South Emperor’s Prince risk offending us to seize it?"

Hearing Xiao Ye’s question, Senior Tian Yi’s expression grew grave: "Boy, remember, the next time you encounter that ’petty thief,’ you must be careful."

"Because the Heavenly Incomplete Bow is a Quasi-King Artifact. If he can control it, even your strength would be insufficient to resist."

What!

Xiao Ye was shocked by the revelation. The Heavenly Incomplete Bow was actually a Quasi-King Artifact. If one were to unleash an attack with the bow, it would be like a Quasi-King Martial Artist taking action.

In this Ancient Battlefield, wouldn’t that be tantamount to choosing who to kill at will?

Seeing Xiao Ye’s reaction, Senior Tian Yi said, "You don’t need to worry. The bow has my unique prohibitions in place, making it very difficult for that ’petty thief’ to fully control it."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ye finally nodded in relief.

"Senior Tian Yi, rest assured, the South Emperor’s Prince nearly killed me. Once I leave here, you need not instruct me; I will make him pay a grievous price!" Xiao Ye’s eyes surged with cold light, and a terrifying killing intent emerged from within him.

Senior Tian Yi nodded with satisfaction, then pointed his finger at Xiao Ye, and a beam of light emerged, entering Xiao Ye’s mind.

"Heavenly Incomplete Arrow Technique! Senior Tian Yi, what are you doing?" Xiao Ye’s eyes widened in shock as he looked at Senior Tian Yi.

The beam of light contained vast information; it was an incredibly powerful Arrow Technique, its might formidable.

"If the Heavenly Incomplete Bow stays with me any longer, it will only gather dust. It’s better for it to follow a worthy master. Your character is good, and you’re suited to learn archery."

"When you retrieve it, you will be its new master. I’m giving you this Arrow Technique so that you might elevate it and bring forth the peak power of the Heavenly Incomplete Bow," said Senior Tian Yi with deep intent, speaking slowly.

Xiao Ye was caught between laughter and tears.

Just moments ago they were locked in life and death combat, and now Senior Tian Yi was bestowing such a grand gift upon him.

The Heavenly Incomplete Bow was a Quasi-King Artifact, and its preciousness needed no further mention, while this Heavenly Incomplete Arrow Technique was also extraordinary, of great significance.

"Then I will not refuse, Senior. Thank you for your generous gift. I will honor your reputation and broaden the renown of this Heavenly Incomplete Arrow Technique, making it known throughout the True Spirit Continent!" Xiao Ye bowed seriously as he spoke.

"Ha ha, good! To find a successor like you has settled a concern of mine," laughed Senior Tian Yi, looking very joyful.

Whoosh!

At that moment, two figures raced side by side at high speed towards their location, drawn by the disturbance of the battle—it was Prince Donghuang and Nangong Xingyu.

"Brother Xiao!" As the two arrived at the scene, they positioned themselves in front of Xiao Ye, warily watching Senior Tian Yi with their faces full of caution.

Seeing this, Xiao Ye felt warmth in his heart and proceeded to narrate the events. He naturally omitted details about the Four Cave Heavens, stating only that Senior Tian Yi had come around.

"You two young ones, I was impulsive. Thankfully, you have treasures to protect yourselves, and no great harm was done. I offer you my apology," said Senior Tian Yi to Prince Donghuang and Nangong Xingyu.

"Now that the misunderstanding is cleared, let’s leave it at that. We aren’t petty people. Senior Tian Yi, is my sister with you?" Prince Donghuang quickly inquired.
