Chapter 430: Chapter 426 Martial Arts Extreme Realm

Xiao Ye only felt his mind and body ascend to a peculiar realm, experiencing a wonderful sensation as if his pores were opening up, merging with Heaven and Earth, and every movement filled with ’Dao Rhythm.’

In an instant, divine rings descended, enveloping the heavily injured and blood-drenched Xiao Ye, making him appear like a Divine King controlling All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds, exuding formidable Heavenly Might.

Unintentionally, Xiao Ye swung the Sky Breaking Saber forward, instantly creating an immensely vast Sword Light that shattered the void and repelled a Thunder Beast after its huge paw indented the ground with each step, only ceasing three steps away.

Boom!

Xiao Ye then slapped down a Mountain and River Seal, summoning an Ancient Divine Mountain, its silver waterfalls cascading down three thousand feet, and golden Divine Trees towering sky-high, their forms swaying and scattering golden specks amid the mountain forests, where Spiritual Beasts howled upwards.

This Ancient Divine Mountain, as if truly descending from the Heavenly Court, exuded terrifying power, pressing down towards a Thunder Beast with immense force.

Boom!

The Thunder Beast too was repelled, retreating two steps back before stopping.

At this moment, Xiao Ye shifted his gestures, his fists dancing, punching through the sky. Each punch contained terrifying power, pushing back another Ferocious Beast.

Death Slash, Ten Thousand Refining Golden Body, Infinite Radiant Sun Fist, and Mountain and River Seal were successively displayed by Xiao Ye. Each move was executed flawlessly, containing a Perfect profoundness, transforming every battle technique in his hands from decay into magic, repelling the previously unstoppable Thunder Beast.

Prince Donghuang and others gaped, their expressions shocked to the extreme, hearts stirring up tumultuous waves.

It felt like Xiao Ye was no longer the Xiao Ye they knew; although his power hadn’t increased at all, that extreme level of might instilled fear in their hearts.

What exactly was happening?

"Ha... Xiao Ye, indeed you are a worthy opponent of mine, even stepping into this domain. Then I’ll lend you a hand, hoping in this life you could reach the peak."

Tong Zhan murmured softly to himself, the happenings around Xiao Ye awakening his long-seated memories, Xiao Ye’s figure slowly merging with the timeless silhouette in his memory.

They looked so similar!

"Roar!"

Under Tong Zhan’s control, five Thunder Beasts roared skyward, then pounced towards Xiao Ye with enormous paws.

Xiao Ye, his senses sealed, was in a special state, yet when the Thunder Beasts approached, they were repelled by him.

Divine rings enveloped Xiao Ye, creating a vast domain centered around him, emanating Divine Power so mighty it allowed no living creature to step closer!

Xiao Ye freely stretched his limbs under the siege of five Thunder Beasts, his power not increasing, but his strength exploded substantially.

"This feeling is just too exhilarating!" Xiao Ye murmured, his lips curling slightly. As he repelled another beast, he suddenly withdrew from that peculiar state, his eyes regaining clarity, and the divine rings enveloping him dissipated.

"What... What just happened to me?" Xiao Ye stunned for a moment, recalled the peculiar state, and incredulously looked at his own hands.

"Ten moves have passed, Brother Xiao, you’ve won, even dominating the latter part." At that time, Tong Zhan waved his hand, immediately turning the five Thunder Beasts into beams of electricity that entered the space between his eyebrows.

"I lasted ten moves?" Xiao Ye heard this and was again dumbfounded, full of confusion.

Before, when he engaged with the five Thunder Beasts, he was heavily injured at the first encounter, although he used all his techniques, he still was completely suppressed.

To talk about lasting ten moves, even five would be difficult, but now Tong Zhan actually said he had the upper hand?

"Brother Tong, what exactly happened?" Xiao Ye’s gaze settled on Tong Zhan.

"Yes, Brother Tong, what happened to Brother Xiao just now?" Seeing Tong Zhan seemingly understand something, Prince Donghuang and others also came over to inquire.

Tong Zhan heard this and cracked a smile, his face covered only with dried-up skin appearing extremely fierce and sinister.

"Brother Xiao, why not try the combat techniques you’ve cultivated?" Tong Zhan did not respond directly.

Under Tong Zhan’s gaze, Xiao Ye, full of doubts, then followed the advice and deployed the Ten Thousand Forging Golden Body.

Instantly—

Boom!

Brilliant, resplendent golden light enveloped Xiao Ye’s body, raising a golden protective shield, his body seemingly made of gold, emitting a strong aura, each movement exuding a suppressive sensation, filled with a Perfect significance.

"Ten Thousand Forged Golden second layer, I’ve actually reached the Perfect Realm!" Xiao Ye’s face was filled with excitement, signifying that his Physical Body’s defense in the Void Martial Realm was akin to being invincible.

Of course, this was relatively speaking, if he encountered a freak, like the Young Emperor, at the Void Martial Realm, with an understanding of Mysterious comparable to King Martial Realm experts, breaking his defense would still be easy.

However, for the time being, such a deviant had not appeared, so relying solely on his defense, he could dominate the Ancient Battlefield.

Then, under Tong Zhan’s gaze, Xiao Ye once again tried to use the Infinite Radiant Sun Fist, his fist broke through the Nine Heavens, propping up a vast domain filled with the utmost rigid and positive energy, its power explosively increased.

"Infinite Radiant Sun Fist, I actually cultivated it to the Perfect Realm!" Xiao Ye was stunned, his face full of disbelief.

When Xiao Ye launched the Mountain and River Seal, he was bewildered as if he had been struck by a treasure from the heavens: "This has reached perfection too..."

These three sets of Eighth Grade Battle Techniques, although aided by the Time Tower and the corpses of deep-sea ferocious beasts, were all one step short of reaching perfection.

But now, they had simultaneously taken the final step, entering the Perfect Realm, unleashing their peak power, to say he achieved this during his duel with Tong Zhan seemed quite impossible.

"Could it be that strange state from earlier?" A flash of inspiration crossed Xiao Ye’s mind.

"Indeed, Xiao Ye, you just entered the Martial Arts Extreme Realm," Tong Zhan said with a smile, his eyes filled with admiration.

"Martial Arts Extreme Realm?" Xiao Ye was full of confusion, as this was the first time he had heard this term.

Noticing the questioning looks from everyone, Tong Zhan explained: "Martial Arts Extreme Realm, as the name implies, is the ultimate boundary of martial arts."

"Once one enters this realm, any combat technique they cultivate can evolve to perfection, unleashing the strongest power, and leave an imprint of the extreme realm in the heart. Therefore, even if one falls from the Extreme Realm later, with the imprint present and diligent cultivation, all techniques can swiftly be brought to perfection."

"Just now when I saw brother Xiao enter the Martial Arts Extreme Realm, I gave him a hand by purposefully attacking and allowing him to practice all his combat skills several times. Therefore, if he falls from the realm, he can still maintain the perfection."

His!

Hearing Tong Zhan’s explanation, everyone couldn’t help but inhale a breath of cold air, shocked as they looked towards Xiao Ye.

"Brother Tong, how can one enter the Martial Arts Extreme Realm?" Prince Donghuang asked eagerly, as he still had several combat techniques that were not yet perfected.

Hearing this, Tong Zhan gave a wry smile and shook his head: "I don’t even have the qualifications to enter the Martial Arts Extreme Realm, how would I know?"

"Martial Arts Extreme Realm is more elusive than mysteries, an ethereal state that is beyond human control. Throughout history, only the Human Race Four Emperors and a few other exceptional individuals have stepped into it during their lifetimes."

"For instance, the Undefeated Emperor entered the Martial Arts Extreme Realm a total of five times in his life."

Hearing this, Prince Donghuang’s face fell into disappointment, envying Xiao Ye to the extreme, wondering whether this meant Xiao Ye’s future achievements would match those of the Human Race Four Emperors?

"So it is." Xiao Ye was also very excited internally, the chance to perfect all Eighth Grade Battle Techniques all at once was indeed a rare opportunity.

Whether he could enter the Martial Arts Extreme Realm again would depend on fate.

"Brother Tong, thank you for lending a hand just now," Xiao Ye thanked Tong Zhan with a bow.

"No need to thank me. Being able to witness the Martial Arts Extreme Realm is my honor. Moreover, fighting against you, I’ve recaptured that boiling blood sensation, I should be the one thanking you," Tong Zhan said with a smile.

Xiao Ye nodded his head, showing respect towards Tong Zhan, recognizing him as a worthy opponent.

A peak duel concluded, misunderstandings cleared, Xiao Ye and Prince Donghuang among others, no longer distanced themselves from Tong Zhan, instead becoming good friends.

With Tong Zhan, the controller of the Third Zone, their journey was naturally smooth.

"Brother Xiao, I uphold my promise; now, I should give you a big gift," Tong Zhan said as he escorted Xiao Ye and others to a mountain peak.

"What kind of gift?" Xiao Ye curiously inquired, looking at Tong Zhan’s mysterious demeanor.

"A month ago, Prince Nangong came to the Third Zone wielding a Quasi-King Artifact, seeking me with a piece of material for crafting a King Artifact, intending for me to kill you all in the Third Zone."

"Why would I need the material for crafting a Royal Artifact in this state? So I refused him then. Seeing his arrogant expression, I used the Array of the Third Zone to trap him in this mountain."

Out of curiosity, I took the form of a Young Talent to meet you, wanting to see for whom Prince Nangong was willing to exchange a piece of crafting material."

What!

Hearing this, Xiao Ye’s eyes blazed with raging fury, and his fists clenched with a crackling sound.

Again, it was Prince Nangong, this person really was like a persistent haunter, actually using the material for crafting a Royal Artifact to have Tong Zhan kill them.

"Damn, if I don’t kill him this time, I am not the Prince Donghuang!" Prince Donghuang was also extremely angry.

Nangong Xingyu didn’t finish speaking, but the two cold beams shooting from his eyes displayed his equally immense fury.

"Brother Tong, are you saying Prince Nangong is trapped here?" Xiao Ye’s eyes were cold as he looked at the mountain before him.

It was time to settle accounts with Prince Nangong once and for all, this time he would see how the other party could escape.
