Martial Conquest of the Nine Desolates
Chapter 434 - 430: Pursuit and Kill

Chapter 434: Chapter 430: Pursuit and Kill

"Yes, when facing danger, the South Emperor’s Prince, in order to save his own life, sacrificed half of his lifespan to perform a secret technique, surely because he had no life-saving tricks left. So when we find him again, he will have no escape!" Prince Donghuang nodded.

At that moment, a group of people sat down next to Xiao Ye to protect him, in case the South Emperor’s Prince came back suddenly to harm Xiao Ye.

Among them, currently only Xiao Ye could battle and defeat the South Emperor’s Prince wielding the Heavenly Incomplete Bow.

Time silently passed by.

The entire Third Zone had now become a land of death, countless Ancient Heroic Spirits and Ancient Corpses were affected by the South Emperor’s Prince’s secret technique, turning into dust.

Even Tong Zhan, the Controller of the Third Zone, now had a weakened aura and lost a lot of strength, even showing cracks on his stern white bones.

At this moment, Xiao Ye sat cross-legged solemnly in the center, with the majestic energy of the Taiyi Pill unfolding, his severe injuries were healing at a remarkable speed, and the sound of clicking and crackling could be heard from his muscles and bones.

His consciousness, previously sunk into endless darkness due to severe injuries, was also awakening.

"This... such strong medicinal power!" Xiao Ye felt the immense energy inside his body and couldn’t help but be shocked.

The power of the Taiyi Pill not only healed his injuries but also repaired his Four Cave Heavens, gradually restoring their radiance. The Four Cave Heavens were like four volcanoes reviving, about to manifest in the void.

Fortunately, Xiao Ye promptly responded and quickly suppressed it.

The Taiyi Pill allowed Xiao Ye’s Martial Arts Foundation to not only remain undamaged but also to become even more robust than before, which would be incredibly beneficial for his future efforts to reach higher realms.

Boom!

Finally, a ten thousand feet golden light burst from Xiao Ye’s body, and the blurred flesh and blood, under the dual effects of the Ten Thousand Refining Golden Body and Taiyi Pill, healed even faster.

Four hours later, a terrifying aura burst from Xiao Ye’s body, and his eyes slowly opened, emitting two dazzling divine lights, possessing the power to awe others.

Having undergone this crisis and transformation, Xiao Ye had become even more stable and restrained. Clenching his fists lightly, he felt a tsunami-like power surging within him.

This was a completely different sensation from before, as if he had a new body, truly astonishing.

"Could it be because of the Taiyi Pill?" Xiao Ye slightly frowned, standing still and carefully sensing the changes in himself.

"Brother Xiao, you really are a monster, how can you not be killed!" Prince Donghuang saw Xiao Ye wake up and couldn’t help but marvel.

You should know, the severe injuries Xiao Ye suffered before were alarming. In just four hours, Xiao Ye was once again unscathed.

"What, did you wish I was beaten to death?" Xiao Ye glared at Prince Donghuang with annoyance.

"Hehe." Prince Donghuang grinned, very happy to see Xiao Ye recover, especially the East Emperor’s Princess who smiled brightly, her beautiful eyes misty with emotion.

Unknowingly, the children of the East Emperor had come to regard Xiao Ye as a sort of spiritual leader.

After some conversation, Xiao Ye learned about the events that transpired while he was unconscious.

"Hmph, once the Ten Great Forces make a decision one day later, the South Emperor’s Prince will have already found a place to hide. Let’s go hunt down the South Emperor’s Prince now!" A cold glint flickered in Xiao Ye’s eyes, his body emanating a terrifying killing intent, and an invincible aura.

With his current strength, he could forcefully push through the Talent Cemetery. The likelihood of encountering danger was very small, so pursuing the South Emperor’s Prince would be extremely easy.

"Good!" Prince Donghuang nodded excitedly, Nangong Xingyu had no objections.

"Mo Ye!" At this moment, Xiao Ye’s eyes shifted, looking towards the sinister youth Mo Ye sitting nearby.

Since the start of the Dynasty Battle, this was the first time he had seen Mo Ye.

"Xiao Ye..." The sinister youth Mo Ye walked up nearby, his gaze filled with unease.

With the current Xiao Ye being remarkably different from before, and even the children of the East Emperor greatly respecting him, he was naturally very nervous.

"After this, we can’t travel together; I hope we can meet again in Central State." Xiao Ye sincerely said.

Upon hearing this, Mo Ye gave a bitter smile. With Xiao Ye’s strength, entering Central State was almost certain, while his own hopes were slim.

"Xiao Ye, I hope you succeed, take care." Mo Ye didn’t linger with words, he saluted Xiao Ye with a cupped hand gesture, then turned and left, his figure disappearing from everyone’s sight.

"Brother Xiao, Brother Donghuang, Brother Nangong, let me see you off." Tong Zhan, whose aura was withered, stepped forward and said forlornly.

"I am the Controller of the Third Zone, so I can feel that the Prince of the South Emperor has already left the Third Zone, moving towards the Fourth Zone."

Xiao Ye nodded upon hearing this; a pitiful figure indeed, naturally talented with boundless prospects, but was sabotaged by the Extreme Dao Palace.

The group set off, and under Tong Zhan’s guidance, Xiao Ye and others quickly headed towards the exit of the Third Zone.

At this moment, an elderly man from the Taiyi Holy Palace stood with his hands behind his back, arrogantly atop the heavens, his deep eyes gazing down at the land below, a hint of pride flickering in the depths.

"This cunning old ghost, actually willing to give Xiao Ye the Taiyi Pill to consume, once he knows the terrifying effects of the Taiyi Pill, he will probably rush to join the Taiyi Holy Palace without considering other forces."

From the palace representing the Sword Sect, a middle-aged man wielding an exceptional longsword flew out.

Unexpectedly, the elder from the Taiyi Holy Palace shook his head, "To enter our Taiyi Holy Palace, aside from having the strength to overpower heroes, one also needs enough intelligence and wit, we do not accept mere brutes."

Hearing this, the middle-aged man laughed and said, "So you intentionally did not let us execute the Prince of the South Emperor, planning to let Xiao Ye deal with him, as a form of experience?"

"You are quite clever, why not leave the Sword Sect and join our Taiyi Holy Palace, I can recommend you to the Palace Master for the position of Deputy Palace Master," said the elder with a hearty laugh.

"Although the Taiyi Holy Palace has had Half-step Emperor level powerhouses, it’s too rigid in people’s hearts, I would rather stay in the Sword Sect, maybe one day, I can become the second Sword Dao Half-step Emperor of the True Spirit Continent," the middle-aged man with the longsword lightly said with a chuckle.

...

"Brother Tong Zhan, take care." Four hours later, at the exit of the Third Zone, Xiao Ye and others bowed their hands, a sad atmosphere spreading.

After some time together, they had truly come to regard Tong Zhan as a friend. Unfortunately, as the Controller of the Third Zone, he could not leave this area, otherwise, due to the special energy of the Ancient Battlefield, he would vanish from existence.

"There’s no need for sadness, the time spent adventuring in the Third Zone with you was my happiest days, from now on I cannot accompany you, I can only wish you well from here."

"There is one more thing I must remind you," Tong Zhan said, suddenly his tone filled with seriousness.

Xiao Ye was startled and quickly inclined his ear to listen.

"The Talent Cemetery is divided into five major zones, you have also seen the first three zones, as for the fourth zone, it is very dangerous, its Controller is also slightly stronger than me, you must be extremely careful and not be careless."

"When you reach the exit of the fourth zone, it’s best not to try to enter the Fifth Zone, as it would be a waste of time, and you might likely die inside, unable to come out again, I have seen too many such cases over these hundreds of years," Tong Zhan stated.

"Brother Tong Zhan, could the Ancient Genius of the Fifth Zone be the Iron Blood Emperor in his youth?" Xiao Ye suppressed the excitement in his heart and quickly asked.

Tong Zhan shook his head, "Whether it is the Iron Blood Emperor in his youth, I am not sure, but Brother Xiao, with your strength, you have no chance to get through."

Facing Tong Zhan’s kind advice, Xiao Ye fell silent and did not retort.

The Fifth Zone remained a mystery in his heart, and if possible, he definitely wanted to explore it.

Next, under Tong Zhan’s watchful eye, Xiao Ye and his party of four crossed the vast White Jade Square, and a boundless solemn world appeared before them.

Compared to the first three zones, the Talent Tombstones in the Fourth Zone were much more densely distributed, with one appearing every ten steps, gathering together to form a huge ’forest’ of tombstones, emitting a solemn aura like a fierce flood beast sweeping over, bringing tremendous pressure.

Prince Donghuang suddenly became wide-eyed, "My goodness, the Ancient Geniuses of the Fourth Zone, definitely exceed a hundred thousand, how cruel the Extreme Dao Palace must have been back then, to have sabotaged so many talents."

Xiao Ye also had a slight change in expression, but with his strength, as long as he was careful, even more Ancient Geniuses would hardly pose a threat to him.

"Let’s go," Xiao Ye led the way into the Fourth Zone.

The Fourth Zone was gloomy and terrifying, coupled with the extremely dense Talent Tombstones piled up together, it made the zone devoid of light, dim and dark, but this did not affect those whose cultivation had reached the Void Martial Realm.

"Brother Xiao, look!"

Suddenly, Prince Donghuang darted forward, stopping in front of an Ancient Corpse that had already been slain.

Xiao Ye followed and his gaze instantly intensified.

Because in the skin-covered palm of this Ancient Corpse, a blood-stained piece of fabric was being clutched.

"If I’m not wrong, this belongs to the South Emperor’s Prince, he indeed came here," Prince Donghuang removed the fabric, observed it for a while, and could not help but sneer repeatedly.

"There are bloodstains here, he must have greatly depleted himself using secret techniques, thus unable to stand against these Ancient Geniuses, and fled," Nangong Xingyu carefully examined the surroundings, quickly finding a trail.

"Chase!" Xiao Ye’s body erupted with a frightening killing intent.

South Emperor’s Prince, this time see what means you have to save your life!
