Chapter 419: Chapter 415 Visitors from Central State

The young man in white appeared indifferent, a giant bow strapped to his back and an extraordinary transcendent aura about him. His long hair flowed over his shoulders, fluttering in the wind as he stepped through the air toward this side.

Upon seeing the newcomer, the area instantly quieted down, with all eyes firmly fixed on the white-clothed youth, a look of fear evident in their gaze.

Especially the wounded Princes of Western Emperor and Northern Emperor, who had eyes brimming with surging hatred, as if they wished they could swallow the white-clothed youth alive.

Xiao Ye and the Prince of East Emperor likewise had unpleasant expressions, turning grim.

It goes without saying, the person who arrived was the Prince of Southern Emperor, the very one who went around snatching Imperial Dynasty Tokens in the days leading up to the end of the first stage.

"That bow is not simple." The East Emperor, West Emperor, and North Emperor looked at the Heavenly Incomplete Bow, a flash of surprise in their eyes, while the Southern Emperor showed a face full of delight.

"Brother Donghuang, Brother Nangong, we meet again." The Prince of Southern Emperor descended, a smile on his face that felt like a breath of spring, carrying a sense of peace.

"Hmph!" The Prince of East Emperor snorted coldly, turning his head away.

With the Four Great Imperial Martial Artists present, it was not realistic for him to act against the Prince of Southern Emperor now, not to mention that with the Heavenly Incomplete Bow, he couldn’t win against the Prince of Southern Emperor either.

Nangong Xingyu’s eyes flashed coldly, saying nothing.

"This Dynasty Battle, I will not let you continue to act arrogantly. There will ultimately be a peak showdown between you and me," Xiao Ye clenched his fists, whispering in his heart. He was extremely repulsed by despicable persons like the Prince of Southern Emperor.

Seeing everyone’s reaction, the Prince of Southern Emperor didn’t care, he strode over to the Stone Platform, and with a wave of his hand, a pile of Imperial Dynasty Tokens appeared on it.

"These are the Imperial Dynasty Tokens I snatched," the Prince of Southern Emperor said lightly.

So many!

The East Emperor, Northern Emperor, and Western Emperor were slightly startled to see so many Imperial Dynasty Tokens, their expressions turning odd.

Among the other Young Talents, at most only a little over thirty tokens had been acquired, a significant gap when compared to the Prince of Southern Emperor.

"A total of two thousand and two Imperial Dynasty Tokens, the most acquired thus far." The Southern Emperor announced with authority after counting the Tokens but inadvertently furrowed his brow.

"How come there are only two thousand and two? My child has obtained the Quasi-King Heavenly Incomplete Bow and, in theory, should be able to sweep the entire Ancient Battlefield. Aren’t these Imperial Dynasty Tokens too few? What exactly happened?"

Under everyone’s gaze, the Prince of Southern Emperor calmly walked to one side, standing with the Heavenly Incomplete Bow on his back.

At this moment, the Princes of Western Emperor and Prince Bei Huang stepped out, filling their fathers’ eyes with hope.

"I guess that the Imperial Dynasty Tokens in the Ancient Battlefield must have been mostly snatched by the Four Great Princes. The number my son obtained must be no less than the son of Brother Southern Emperor," North Emperor and West Emperor exchanged through transmission, smiles on their faces.

However, when they saw the number of Imperial Dynasty Tokens these two produced, only around a hundred or so, they were instantly stunned as if they had seen a ghost.

To think that the Prince Level strong ones managed to snatch so few Imperial Dynasty Tokens! If this got out, people would certainly laugh their heads off, setting a new record low for the Dynasty Battle.

So who is the biggest beneficiary of this Dynasty Battle? A trace of doubt rose in the hearts of the Four Great Imperial Martial Artists.

The Princes of Western Emperor and Prince Bei Huang saw their fathers’ disappointed faces and felt both embarrassed and angry, looking viciously at the Prince of Southern Emperor.

They could bear being suppressed by the Four Princes Level strong ones like Xiao Ye, but being sneak-attacked by the Prince of Southern Emperor and gravely injured in the end, they felt incredibly frustrated.

Fortunately, the Prince of Southern Emperor had his reservations and didn’t take all their Imperial Dynasty Tokens, or they would be even more embarrassed now.

"It’s our turn," the Prince of East Emperor grinned, "Let’s shock the Four Great Imperial Martial Artists thoroughly, letting everyone see that they shouldn’t underestimate our East State Heavenly God Dynasty."

Xiao Ye smiled at this and took the lead towards the Stone Platform.

Together, their Imperial Dynasty Tokens totaled over eight thousand, certainly enough to dominate the top four spots in the first stage.

The four walked up to the Stone Platform and, under the expectant gaze of the East Emperor, each brought out their own Imperial Dynasty Tokens, piling them up like a small hill on the platform.

Beforehand, Xiao Ye and the others had already distributed the over eight thousand Imperial Dynasty Tokens according to their strength.

"This..."

The expressions of the Four Great Imperial Martial Artists changed drastically, looking at Xiao Ye and his companions with shock.

Turns out, the biggest beneficiaries of this Dynasty Battle were these four!

"What exactly is going on? My child is strong and it’s understandable that he snatched so many Imperial Dynasty Tokens but what about my daughter, Xiao Ye, and Southern Emperor Xingyu?"

"Could it be..." East Emperor pondered for a moment, his eyes gleaming brightly, coming up with a possibility that excited him extremely.

Afterward, the East Emperor suppressed the excitement in his heart and began to count the number of Imperial Dynasty Tokens in the four piles.

"My daughter has seized a total of two thousand and three Imperial Dynasty Tokens, ranked fourth."

"Nangong Xingyu has seized a total of two thousand and ten Imperial Dynasty Tokens, ranked third."

"And I have seized a total of two thousand and twenty Imperial Dynasty Tokens, ranked second."

"Xiao Ye seized a total of two thousand and thirty Imperial Dynasty Tokens, ranking first."

The Eastern Emperor reported the rankings in one breath, his voice filled with joy.

His Heavenly God Dynasty’s four top warriors had, all at once, taken the top four ranks in the first stage of the Dynasty Battle. This was not only the highest record for East State, but also the highest in the history of the Dynasty Battles, bringing great honor to his face.

"How is this possible, my son has the Heavenly Incomplete Bow, he should be the first." A cold gleam flashed in the eyes of the Southern Emperor, as he cursed inwardly.

As for the young talents present, there wasn’t much surprise.

Nonsense, with four Prince Level peak strengths emerging from East State at once, who would dare to compete? Achieving such results was not surprising.

The young talents who stepped forward after held very few Imperial Dynasty Tokens, none exceeding a hundred, which officially confirmed the rankings of the first stage of the Dynasty Battle.

The four Prince Level peak strong people from East State effortlessly dominated the top spots, with Xiao Ye ranked first and the Southern Emperor’s son fifth.

The number of geniuses originally participating in the first stage of the Dynasty Battle was over ten thousand. More than nine thousand lost their Imperial Dynasty Tokens and were eliminated due to insufficient numbers of tokens, leaving only one thousand who passed the first stage; it was incredibly brutal.

Among them, thanks to Xiao Ye and others, an unprecedented total of three hundred and thirty people from East State passed the first stage. Xiao Ye looked around and discovered, to his surprise, that Mo Ye was among them and had not been eliminated.

The young talents who passed the first stage cheered, their eyes gleaming with tears. This signified that they were one step closer to the Sacred Central State.

Hadn’t they been diligently cultivating just for this day?

"Now tell the Emperor what exactly happened?" After the rankings were confirmed, the Four Great Imperial Martial Artists pulled their respective talents aside to inquire in detail.

"So that’s how it is, all four of you are now at Prince Level strength!" The Eastern Emperor was full of excitement after hearing the account from the Prince of the Eastern Emperor.

"Father, you are mistaken—the current Xiao Ye has already surpassed the Prince Level," the Prince of the Eastern Emperor said with a smile.

The Eastern Emperor nodded and looked at Xiao Ye with approval, feeling emotional within.

Back in the Heavenly God Emperor Realm, he knew Xiao Ye had immense potential. He had not hesitated to bestow Emperor’s Undying Order on him, but what he didn’t expect was that Xiao Ye would grow so quickly, even surpassing the Prince of the Eastern Emperor whom he had carefully groomed.

"Your Majesty urges you, even if you bear resentment in your hearts, do not act against the Southern Emperor’s son for now, not only because he possesses a Quasi-King Artifact that you cannot contend with."

"Moreover, representatives of the major forces from Central State have already arrived at the Ancient Battlefield. If you take action now, it will incur their displeasure, and the gains will not make up for the losses. You will definitely have the opportunity to confront each other in the second stage," the Eastern Emperor suddenly, with a grave expression, admonished.

"Representatives of the major forces from Central State have already arrived?" Xiao Ye’s breathing tightened upon hearing the news, his eyes bursting with an intense light, "I wonder if Bing Ya’s Ice and Snow Palace is among them?"

Upon hearing this, both the Eastern Emperor’s Prince and Princess were excited, while Nangong Xingyu remained quite calm.

"Now I will take you to meet the representatives of the various forces from Central State," the Eastern Emperor said. A huge Seven-Colored Rainbow Bridge appeared beneath his feet, stretching into the boundless void, with the end unknown.

The Eastern Emperor ascended the Rainbow Bridge, his Dragon Robe billowing, his body soaring into the air.

Immediately, the East State geniuses who had passed the first stage of the Dynasty Battle, led by Xiao Ye, stepped onto the Rainbow Bridge one after another, headed to the Unknown Land.

The Southern Emperor, Northern Emperor, and Western Emperor also erected Rainbow Bridges, leading the young talents who passed the first stage up in succession.

Four colossal Rainbow Bridges seemed to connect to otherworldly spaces. As they ascended, the scenery before their eyes changed, with stars abruptly turning and mists all around, as if they had left the Ancient Battlefield and arrived at the Immortal World.

"What is that?"

Xiao Ye’s gaze suddenly focused, and he saw a grand array of palaces not far away, each one gleaming with golden light, situated above the clouds, exuding an aura of overlooking all heavens, and resonated with the Sound of Dao, as if divine beings lived within, accepting the worship of all mortal life.

Looking over, there were a total of ten palaces, each with a plaque hanging above, inscribed with brilliant golden characters.

Piaomiao Sect!

Luofu Mountain!

Sword Sect!

Taiyi Palace!

Taixu Sect!

Sky Wind Pavilion!

Five Elements Sacred Palace!

...

Each palace represented a powerful force from Central State, dominating thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, standing at the pinnacle of the True Spirit Continent. Those names made Xiao Ye’s blood boil.

These were truly powerful forces, representing the ultimate combat power of the entire True Spirit Continent. In those places, Emperor Realm Experts were aplenty, and exceptional monsters emerged; joining such forces, his future life would surely not be lonely or monotonous.

When Xiao Ye saw the last palace, his heart trembled, his eyes bursting with an intense light.

Ice and Snow Palace!

Bing Ya’s Ice and Snow Palace had also come.
