Martial Conquest of the Nine Desolates
Chapter 442 - 438: Iron Blood Emperor

Chapter 442: Chapter 438: Iron Blood Emperor

Xiao Ye was brought forward flying by the Beast Robed Youth. In order to prove his conjecture, he immediately started to inquire.

However, the Beast Robed Youth appeared impatient, rarely answering Xiao Ye’s questions, and in the end simply kept silent, ignoring Xiao Ye.

Xiao Ye was suddenly speechless. Since he began cultivating Martial Arts, this was the first time he had been treated this way.

"What’s wrong, kid? Are you thinking of fighting me? Let me tell you, I, Yong Yi, am a strong warrior here, worthy to follow my Lord. I’ve even received personal guidance from my Lord."

"If you want to fight me, I’m afraid you wouldn’t last ten moves." At this moment, the Beast Robed Youth seemed to sense Xiao Ye’s mood, and he narrowed his eyes, sneering with a face full of arrogance.

Facing this person’s self-love, Xiao Ye was again speechless.

Although he was angry, it had not reached the point of fighting the other party. After all, this was someone else’s territory, and it would not be wise to start a fight without clarifying the situation.

However, the words spoken by the youth named Yong Yi had piqued Xiao Ye’s interest.

"Is your Lord very strong?" Xiao Ye asked curiously.

"Humph, my Lord’s strength far surpasses your imagination."

"At the age of seven, he started practicing Martial Arts, and by nine, he defeated his own master, seeking to find a stronger mentor. But my Lord’s talent was terrifying. Not only revered among his peers, his understanding and inspiration for Martial Arts even exceeded the extreme, making many of the older generation of experts feel inferior."

"So my Lord stopped being persistent, deciding to be his own master, daily contemplating Martial Arts alone. By the age of eighteen, he had reached the pinnacle, then he started wandering the world, challenging others to prove his Martial Arts, never defeated, rarely met an opponent, his fame spreading throughout the world, brilliant to the extreme. In the whole world, only those old fogies could suppress my Lord, but they also confirmed that my Lord would reach the realm of the Unrivaled Emperor." Yong Yi, the Beast Robed Youth, said slowly, his face full of admiration, as if his Lord was the only god in his heart.

"Unrivaled Emperor..." Hearing this, Xiao Ye had no more doubts; this must be the True Spirit Continent constructed by the energy from the Ancient Battlefield.

This was the era dominated by the Iron Blood Emperor!

And the ’Lord’ mentioned by Yong Yi, the Beast Robed Youth, was undoubtedly the Iron Blood Emperor.

Thinking of soon meeting the Iron Blood Emperor in his youth, Xiao Ye became excited, extremely thrilled. He was eager to know how his current strength compared to that of the Iron Blood Emperor at the same age.

Speaking of the Iron Blood Emperor, the Beast Robed Youth Yong Yi was like opening a box of endless words, incessantly telling the deeds of the Iron Blood Emperor.

Xiao Ye inwardly chuckled with joy; this was exactly what he wished for, so he expressed his admiration to match the other party.

Through the endless chatter of Yong Yi, the Beast Robed Youth, Xiao Ye concluded that the current Iron Blood Emperor had not yet broken through to the King Martial Realm, but had the glorious record of defeating King Martial Realm Experts.

Of course, at this period, not only were Combat Techniques crude, but the division of realms was also not as detailed as in his own time.

"At this point, the Iron Blood Emperor’s comprehension of Mysterious Rules must have exceeded the King Martial Realm, it’s just that his Cultivation hasn’t reached there yet," Xiao Ye thought to himself.

At this time, the Beast Robed Youth Yong Yi glanced at Xiao Ye and said, "Hmm, I find you rather pleasing to the eye, kid. Remember when you see my Lord, to show utmost respect. Otherwise, no one can save you, and don’t even think about discussing Martial Arts with my Lord, because you’re not qualified."

Xiao Ye was caught between laughter and tears. He had figured out the temperament of the other party along the way, didn’t bother to argue, and focused on hastening the journey.

Finally, after half an hour, the Beast Robed Youth Yong Yi, along with Xiao Ye, stopped at the foot of a huge mountain, where Xiao Ye was immediately met with a shocking scene.

At least tens of thousands of young men and women, dressed like Yong Yi, were sitting on the ground at the foot of the mountain, cultivating in the morning sun, brimming with vitality.

When these young men and women sensed the movement, they suddenly opened their eyes and greeted Yong Yi.

"Yong Yi, brought another challenger?"

"Hey, challenging our Lord is no different from seeking abuse. The two challengers that appeared before were quite strong, but still were defeated by our Lord in one move."

"He looks alright, probably just a pretty useless guy."

...

The young men and women sitting cross-legged at the foot of the mountain looked at Xiao Ye with reckless scorn, occasionally voicing their mockery.

"It seems the challengers they are talking about are Brother East Emperor and Brother Nangong. I wonder where they are now." Xiao Ye didn’t bother with these people and started pondering to himself.

"My Lord is at the top of this mountain, you walk up yourself, and remember the warning I gave you," said the Beast Robed Youth Yong Yi at this moment, interrupting Xiao Ye’s thoughts.

"Okay!" Xiao Ye nodded at these words and did not fly, but walked up the mountain path instead.

It was obvious that these people at the mountain foot regarded this peak as a Martial Arts Holy Land; if he dared to fly, it would undoubtedly provoke their anger.

Just stepping onto the mountain path, Xiao Ye felt a special aura enveloping the entire mountain. This aura was very comforting, like the sun warming everything, extremely pleasant.

"Could this be the aura of the Iron Blood Emperor?" Xiao Ye felt a surge of excitement and sped up towards the summit.

Soon, Xiao Ye arrived at the top of the mountain.

The peak of the mountain was incredibly desolate, everything in sight empty and clear, seemingly barren and desolate. In the center grew a gigantic mulberry tree, its numerous and luxuriant branches swaying with the breeze, offering a sense of boundless exhilaration.

Below the mulberry tree, there was a thatched house, which looked very simple, yet it was very tidy.

On a large rock next to the thatched house, there was a figure of a young man, his black hair spread out over his shoulders, sitting with his back to Xiao Ye, as if turning his back on all the beings of the world.

Quiet!

Extremely quiet!

A gust of wind blew past, disturbing the hair of this figure, and the sunlight filtering through the dense mulberry tree cast speckles of light upon him.

Upon seeing the back of this young figure, Xiao Ye’s heartstrings trembled fiercely.

Although the other party did not exude any aura, he gave Xiao Ye the illusion of facing the entire world, suggesting that no matter how strong man may be, it is difficult to contend against nature.

Iron Blood Emperor!

Xiao Ye’s heart was shaking; this was the figure who, in ancient times, had reached the pinnacle of cultivation and had unified the True Spirit Continent with an iron hand, Sovereign Over All. Even the river of time had not managed to erase his existence. Now facing the most powerful legendary figure in the history of the True Spirit Continent, an indescribable emotion rose in his heart.

"You, you have finally arrived." Just when Xiao Ye did not know how to approach and speak, a voice calm as a still well came.

Xiao Ye’s eyes widened; the Iron Blood Emperor actually knew he was coming? How could this be possible!

"I sense the aura of a supreme epoch in you; it seems Jue Dai really did it, merging the paths of us four into one unparalleled cultivation technique. She truly is the most intelligent among us, even Wudi cannot compare with her in this regard."

The next moment, the words of that figure struck Xiao Ye like lightning, causing his head to buzz, and his face was filled with incredulity.

Supreme era?

The "Jue Dai" mentioned by Iron Blood Emperor undeniably referred to the Supreme Empress.

But the four Emperors of the Human Clan, each separated by a millennium of time, why does it sound as if Iron Blood Emperor knew the other three Emperors? He also knew about the Supreme Empress creating the Four Emperor Skills.

What exactly is going on here!

Before him, was this the youthful Iron Blood Emperor, or the true Iron Blood Emperor?

And where he was now, was it an environment formed from the energy of an ancient battlefield or the genuine world?

Xiao Ye just felt a multitude of doubts rise up in his heart, leaving him completely dumbfounded.

"Hehe... Perhaps talking about this has frightened you. Once you reach our realm, you’ll naturally understand everything." The Iron Blood Emperor chuckled softly, rising from the boulder, looking at Xiao Ye with a smile at the corner of his mouth.

Boom!

Xiao Ye’s pupils contracted instantly, a chill rushed from his feet to his brain, his mouth agape in shock, his jaw nearly dropping to the ground.

Because the appearance of Iron Blood Emperor... looked too much like Nangong Xingyu!

If it weren’t for the completely different temperaments between the two, Xiao Ye would almost believe that the person standing before him was Nangong Xingyu himself.

The events of the day had left Xiao Ye’s brain completely devoid of the ability to think, and he stood there stupefied.

"You have come here, which means you must have laid down the foundation of the Four Emperor Skills well, and you can be considered a disciple of us four. I hope that you can carry forward the will of us four and become the strongest in the history of True Spirit Continent, to save the True Spirit continent from its crisis."

The Iron Blood Emperor was dressed simply, with an aloof temperament, as if he were the Sovereign of the entire world, demanding reverence.

With a multitude of doubts in his heart, yet upon hearing this, Xiao Ye’s whole body trembled.

When he first saw the avatar of the Supreme Empress, he had also heard her say these words. So what is the calamity that both Emperors referred to?

At that moment, Xiao Ye calmed his mind, suppressed the doubts in his heart, straightened his clothes, and gave a deep bow to the Iron Blood Emperor.

Not to mention anything else, just by merit of the other party having saved the True Spirit Continent several times, he was a benefactor to all of the Human Clan, worthy of such a profound bow.

The Iron Blood Emperor did not stop him, but looked on with a smile at the corner of his mouth. It was only after Xiao Ye straightened up that he spoke slowly, "You’re here to challenge me, so make your move first, and we will talk about other matters later."

"Show me your strongest strength so I can see how well Jue Dai has chosen a disciple for us." Iron Blood Emperor said, his deep eyes shining like stars.

Excited by his words, Xiao Ye understood that Iron Blood Emperor intended to mentor him! Such an opportunity was unique to him alone in the entire True Spirit Continent.

Immediately, Xiao Ye raised his spirit to its peak, not caring to ask about the doubts in his heart for the moment.
