Martial Conquest of the Nine Desolates
Chapter 438 - 434: Easily Defeating the Enemy

Chapter 438: Chapter 434: Easily Defeating the Enemy

The strength of the controller of the Fourth Zone completely surpassed the Prince Level. Although Li Renjie didn’t believe Xiao Ye could handle it, at the insistence of Prince Donghuang, he still led the four of them forward through the Blood-colored Desert.

About two hours later, fierce winds howled and sand filled the sky as the dense sound of close combat came from afar, the thick scent of blood rushing to their noses.

Xiao Ye looked up and saw that the desert ahead was covered by countless Ancient Corpses and Ancient Heroic Spirits, it was boundless and endless.

Of course, most of the Ancient Young Talents did not take action and stood on the side as spectators, their eerie eyes firmly fixed on the scene, a sinister and terrifying aura bursting from their bodies.

There were also about ten thousand Ancient Young Talents forming a surrounding circle, enclosing the Young Talents from the Four Great States, repeatedly attacking with decayed weapons, not giving them time to rest.

Xiao Ye swept his gaze over and immediately noticed that only about three hundred of the Young Talents from the Four Great States remained, their bodies covered in wounds, their robes soaked with blood, their aura weak.

Among them, Xiao Ye saw the Prince of Western Emperor, Prince Bei Huang, and some who had shown their prowess in the First Stage, possessing the strong power of Prince Level.

They were the spearhead of the group, leading the charge with over three hundred Young Talents, sending several Ancient Young Talents flying with a single powerful move.

However, whenever this happened, new Ancient Young Talents from the surrounding circle would replenish their ranks, keeping their numbers around ten thousand, firmly encircling them, preventing their escape.

The Young Talents from the Four Great States had been fighting for several hours, and now many were staggering, clearly reaching their limits.

Xiao Ye shook his head upon seeing this; his strength was now far beyond the Prince Level, and such levels of combat were beneath his notice.

"Brother Ren Jie, is that the controller?" Xiao Ye’s gaze shifted, looking towards a figure standing upright in mid-air.

It was an Ancient Young Talent who had survived as an Ancient Corpse, standing proudly in the void, holding a rusty long stick, towering nearly two meters tall, showing that he was exceptionally burly before death; the decayed flesh on his body emitted a foul stench.

Although the opponent had not made a move, the mere aura from his body indicated his extraordinary strength, which must be very formidable.

"Yes, he is the controller." Li Renjie licked his dry lips, his voice rough, "He is incredibly powerful, previously eight of us at the Prince Level joined forces, yet we couldn’t withstand ten moves from him, and were instead injured by the shock."

"He disdains to strike at us again and has set conditions, stating that we must break out from a siege of ten thousand Ancient Young Talents to pass the Fourth Zone."

Xiao Ye smiled upon hearing this; it was the second challenge of the Dynasty Battle, reaching the Fourth Zone meant all were formidable, it was unexpected that it had bred such strong contenders at the Prince Level.

"How strong can he be? As long as he is not a fighter of the King Martial Realm, I can handle it," Xiao Ye muttered softly.

Swish!

At that moment, the controller in mid-air apparently sensed something, and his sharp eyes pierced through the void, looking towards Xiao Ye’s direction.

"Oh? Did a few more trash come?" The controller’s rotten jaw lifted, he sneered sinisterly, his tone laden with disdain, "Then you all join in as well."

"This generation’s Young Talents are truly useless, even the strongest eight could not withstand even ten of my moves, far inferior to our time."

The words of the controller immediately caught the attention of the Young Talents from the Four Great States. When they saw the figures of Xiao Ye and the others, their faces lit up with surprise, especially the talent from the East State, who shouted excitedly, seemingly seeing hope.

To know, Xiao Ye and his three companions had gained significant fame in the First Stage of the Dynasty Battle, four powerful fighters at the Prince Level dominating and seizing a large number of Imperial Dynasty Tokens, eventually earning the title ’Four Evil Gods.’

With the joining of four fighters at the Prince Level, they might indeed be able to break out.

Prince Donghuang and others heard this but made no move, instead their eyes showed playfulness, observing the controller of the Fourth Zone.

"Hmph, did you not hear what I said?" The controller’s gaze darkened, his voice filled with anger.

As his voice fell—

Rustle!

Instantly, a thousand Ancient Young Talents stepped out, completely surrounding Xiao Ye and the others.

"Is there only this method to get through the Fourth Zone?" Xiao Ye glanced around, the large number of ten thousand Ancient Young Talents posed no significant threat to him.

"There’s another way, which is for you few to withstand twenty moves in my hands."

The controller gave a ferocious smile, spreading his arms, immediately the sky changed, a scorching red light condensed in mid-air, then burst into flames, forming a Fire Domain. A vast suppression swept forth, causing the Young Talents from the Four Great States below to tremble, feeling immense pressure, their complexions turning pale.

The controller of the Fourth Zone, a Flame Monarch, with every movement could make all flames bow down, terrifying indeed, the scorching flames in mid-air condensed into four Flame Lotuses, burning the sky, drastically increasing the temperature of the air.

"Mysteries of Fire, broken through the Fourth Realm?" Xiao Ye’s heart skipped a beat, no wonder the eight top Prince Level contenders could not withstand even ten moves from him.

It seems that the controller of the Fourth Zone was an extremely powerful Young Talent in ancient times, almost reaching the extreme of the Void Martial Realm in terms of insight.

Even Prince Donghuang was left dumbstruck, obviously not expecting the other party to be so powerful.

"How will you choose now?" The controller stood amidst the endless sea of fire, sneering at Xiao Ye.

"I choose the latter, but I only need myself," Xiao Ye spoke.

What!

The Young Talents from the Four Great States who were paying attention to this side, their expressions changed drastically all of a sudden. Was Xiao Ye planning to face such a powerful controller alone?

"Xiao Ye, have you gone mad? If a few of us join hands, there’s a great chance for us to break through the encirclement of ten thousand Ancient Geniuses. Why must you seek death on your own!" The Princes of Western Emperor and Northern Emperor yelled.

But immediately after, the expressions on their faces froze, and all their words were swallowed back.

Boom!

A majestic Grotto Heaven rose behind Xiao Ye, his body radiating bright golden light, breaking through the prohibitions of the Fourth Zone and rising into the air to confront the controller hovering midair, their gazes intertwining with dazzling divine light.

The disbelief on the faces of the Princes of Western Emperor and Northern Emperor intensified. To break open the prohibition of the Fourth Zone and achieve flight, one needed strength far surpassing the level of a prince.

Could it be that Xiao Ye has become this powerful?

"Your strength has reached this point; it seems this generation still has powerful prodigies. You are fit to be my opponent," for the first time, a grave light appeared in the controller’s eyes.

"Unfortunately, you still aren’t worthy to be my opponent, Xiao Ye," Xiao Ye smiled lightly, his voice spreading across the skies, causing a slight twitch in the lips of the Young Talents from the Four Great States.

Such a powerful controller, with such a high realm in mysteries, only to receive such an evaluation from Xiao Ye—what trump card does Xiao Ye have?

"You’re seeking death!" The controller, outraged by the comment, who was a peer-respected Heavenly Pride of his time and a hero in death, how could he not be furious?

Boom!

The controller waved his hand, and his Mysteries of Fire condensed into four enormous Fire Dragons. Their massive bodies obscured the skies, roaring as they charged at Xiao Ye.

Calm and composed, Xiao Ye’s body’s golden light shone even brighter. A golden protective shield rendered him impervious to all techniques, and despite the attacks of the four Fire Dragons, they couldn’t breach his defense, not even shaking his body the slightest bit.

"How is this possible!" The controller was greatly shocked.

To know that at the Mysteries of Fire, he had reached the Fourth Level, exerting attacks comparable to the Virtual Martial Ninth Level. Yet, they couldn’t even break through Xiao Ye’s defenses, deeply shaking him.

"The controller of the Fourth Zone doesn’t seem to be much," Xiao Ye spoke lightly. He then executed the Infinite Radiant Sun Fist of the Perfect Realm, shattering the four Fire Dragons midair.

"You’ve attacked, now it’s my turn," Xiao Ye concluded, retrieving the Sky-breaking Bow from the Space Ring, causing a terrifying aura that instantly shattered the void for miles around.

At the sight of the Heavenly Incomplete Bow, the controller trembled, enveloped by a strong sense of crisis shaking him to the core.

This sense was only experienced from the Iron Blood Emperor during his youth in the same era.

But before he could react, Xiao Ye had already drawn the bowstring to a full moon, instantly shaking heaven and earth, with the terrifying power of Heaven and Earth rushing towards him, condensing into a radiant Light Arrow in Xiao Ye’s hand.

Whoosh!

Like a torrential flow, the Light Arrow streaked through the air like a rainbow piercing the sun, triggering thunderous winds and countless phenomena.

"No!"

The controller shouted, desperately moving his body and summoning the Mysteries of Fire for defense, but in front of the Light Arrow, nothing could block its path. The arrow grazed half of his body, turning it to ash, with a miserable scream resounding midair.

The controller, severely wounded, fell to the ground powerlessly, his face full of fear, staring at Xiao Ye who was stepping through the air towards him.

The scene fell into a deathly silence, even the Ancient Geniuses forgot to attack the youths from the Four Great States, and likewise, the youths from the Four Great States also stopped, completely petrified.

In just one move!

Just one move!

The controller, who they perceived as immensely powerful, was actually... effortlessly defeated by Xiao Ye? The whole process seemed as easy as having a meal or drinking wine.
