Chapter 448 - 444: Genius Showdown in Yulan Domain

Chapter 448: Chapter 444: Genius Showdown in Yulan Domain

Endless Sea, still surging as before, contains huge dangers. Many Independent Practitioners gather in groups, forming bandit forces, trying to rob martial artists heading to the True Spirit Continent.

However, for Xiao Ye and others, as many as come, as many die, without even a chance to escape. Furthermore, many bandit forces are counter-robbed by Xiao Ye, obtaining a lot of Mid-grade Primordial Stones.

Although he didn’t consider them very valuable, at least he could keep them and bring them to the Xiao Alliance.

This behavior of Xiao Ye made Xiao Teng shake his head speechlessly, knowing that Xiao Ye is now a Prince of the East State Heavenly God Dynasty, with a prominent status. If this matter was known back home, it would make many people laugh their teeth off.

After nine years, Xiao Ye stood on the deck, looking at the increasingly clear and majestic coastline through the fog, his soul stirred.

No matter the heights he reached in the True Spirit Continent, this place is always his home. A traveler returns home, and anyone would be tremendously excited, regardless of status and position.

"After I left Xiao Family Village, I actually traveled all over the Black Dragon Country, diligently cultivating, hoping that one day I could defeat you and return to Xiao Family Village."

"But in the Black Dragon Country, I kept hearing about your increasing fame; you were getting further and further away from me, and in despair, I left Black Dragon Country and came to Thunder Sea Country, mixed with some martial artists to go out to sea, and after countless hardships, I finally reached East State of the True Spirit Continent."

"Sixteen years have passed, this is my first time coming back!" Tears shimmered in Xiao Teng’s eyes as he slowly spoke.

"Then let’s go home together!" Hearing this, Xiao Ye gave a slight smile, his body already soaring into the air, standing proudly like a Heavenly God.

Xiao Teng nodded firmly: "Yes, let’s go home!"

After speaking, Xiao Teng’s body also soared into the air, flying side by side with Xiao Ye into the Yulan Domain.

To go to the True Spirit Continent from the Yulan Domain, martial artists need to set out from the port of Thunder Sea Country.

At this moment, in front of the huge port, there were several dozens of large sailing ships filled with many martial artists, wanting to head to their holy land - the True Spirit Continent!

"Look, there are Mystic Martial realm powerhouses flying in the sky!" Suddenly, a young man saw Xiao Ye and the others flash by and couldn’t help shouting excitedly.

"It really is, Mystic Martial realm. I wonder when I will be able to reach the Mystic Martial!" The martial artists on the sailboat couldn’t help but sigh.

In the Yulan Domain, anyone who could reach the Mystic Martial realm was extremely famous, starting sects, and even becoming a sovereign of a region, certainly not something they could aspire to.

"The speed of that lord just now was so fast, it seems he’s not just an ordinary Mystic Martial realm powerhouse, he might very well be at a King-level existence."

"Could it be someone from the Xiao Alliance? In our Yulan Domain, the Xiao Alliance has the most Mystic Martial realm powerhouses, otherwise those kings wouldn’t show up so easily." At this moment, a middle-aged martial artist wildly speculated.

...

With their conversation, one ship after another left the port, sailing into the Endless Sea.

"Martial artists who haven’t even reached the Mystic Martial realm want to enter the True Spirit Continent?" Xiao Ye in the sky shook his head.

After entering the Void Martial Realm, not only his cultivation greatly increased, but his senses became extremely keen, naturally able to hear the conversation of those martial artists.

"What interests me the most is what they said about the Xiao Alliance possessing the most Mystic Martial realm powerhouses in the Yulan Domain." Xiao Teng said, his eyes shining with excitement.

Xiao Ye was also thrilled, becoming very curious.

What is the current strength of the Xiao Alliance? He really wanted to know.

When he left the Yulan Domain, he had left quite a few treasures for the Xiao Alliance and added his own deterrence, it was no surprise that the Xiao Alliance could rise rapidly.

...

Today, an incredibly sensational event unfolded in the Yulan Domain. Xiao Fan, a supreme genius of the Xiao Alliance, challenged Bai Yi of Thunder Sea Country at the young age of thirteen.

Talking about Bai Yi, he is not simple. At the prime age of twenty-two, he showed a trend of being revered among his peers in the Twelve Countries of Yulan Domain, sweeping through countless peers and challenging many formidable foes, yet never defeated.

A King-level powerhouse commented that this young man almost possesses the First-class Innate Limit strength and might soon reach the Mystic Martial Realm.

Bai Yi is a heavenly pride that has risen in the Yulan Domain in recent years, extremely prominent.

As for the challenger, Xiao Fan, he is also extraordinary.

Because Xiao Fan, who is the brother of Xiao Ye, the number one genius in the history of Yulan Domain and comes from the Xiao Alliance, currently the most powerful force in the Yulan Domain!

The Xiao Alliance is indeed a superpower in the Yulan Domain, transcending the Twelve Countries, with countless powerful beings in the Xuanwu Realm and continuously producing top-tier experts. It is fair to call it the Martial Arts Holy Land of the Yulan Domain.

From a young age, Xiao Fan received the boundless affection of the entire Xiao Alliance. He consumed numerous Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, and he did not disappoint, showing terrifying and unparalleled talent. At the age of thirteen, he possessed the strength of a First-class Innate Limit, and the older generation of Martial Artists believed that he was very likely to reach the heights of the Supreme Genius Xiao Ye and continue the glory of the Xiao Alliance.

How could such a battle between these two geniuses not cause a sensation?

When the news spread, it captured the attention of the entire Yulan Domain, tugging at everyone’s heartstrings. Suddenly, countless strong individuals rushed to the location of the challenge, and even the kings of the Twelve Countries were no exception—all arriving at the site of the challenge.

These kings came not because the duel between these two youngsters would be particularly spectacular, but because Xiao Fan is Xiao Ye’s younger brother, and they must ensure Xiao Fan’s complete safety.

The incident of Xiao Ye punishing the kings of the Twelve Countries in Yulan Domain years ago left a deep impression on them, with even three kings’ cultivations being destroyed and imprisoned within the Xiao Alliance as slaves forever.

Therefore, they dare not be careless about Xiao Fan’s safety.

At the summit of Heavenly Peak, Bai Yi, adorned in a blue robe, seeing many powerful individuals from the Xiao Alliance arriving and even the kings making their appearance, couldn’t help but give a bitter smile.

He felt that this upcoming challenge might be the most foolish decision he had ever made in his life.

He had no doubt that if he caused even a single hair on Xiao Fan to be harmed during the duel, these strong warriors of the Xuanwu Realm would definitely not let him go.

However, if he didn’t give his all, he wasn’t entirely confident in facing Xiao Fan, as the opponent’s strength was not inferior to his own.

"Supreme Xiao Ye, you really are remarkable. I have always aimed to follow in your footsteps, but today, even without seeing you, I might lose to your brother," Bai Yi lamented with a bitter smile, then stopped dwelling on it.

Since he had come, he had to give his all, otherwise losing would tarnish his own illustrious record, something his proud self would not allow.

As time passed, the number of spectating Martial Artists grew, soon exceeding hundreds of thousands. They all stood at the foot of the mountain, looking up towards the summit with faces full of excitement, and the noisy voices surged towards the Nine Heavens.

"Xiao Fan is here!"

Suddenly, someone shouted, and the scene instantly fell into dead silence. Their gazes collectively turned in one direction.

They saw a group of figures floating in from a distance, stepping through the air, all of them powerful beings from the Xuanwu Realm. Their robes fluttering, they resembled a group of Banished Immortals, firmly captivating everyone’s attention.

"It’s people from the Xiao Alliance, don’t talk nonsense now." Many Martial Artists who came to spectate fell silent, not daring to utter another word.

There was no choice; the speed of the Xiao Alliance’s growth over the years had been truly terrifying. Among their ranks, Shi Bo and Wu Daniu, prominent figures in the Yulan Domain.

"Uncle Shi Bo, Uncle Daniu, stop following me. I still have to defeat Bai Yi," spoke a young man in a black robe.

His eyes sparkled like stars, his youthful face was rosy, and his smooth hair draped over his shoulders, making him look very dashing and spirited.

Unless one was well-acquainted, no one would guess that this young man was a powerful being possessing a First-class Innate Limit.

"Xiao Fan, be careful. This Bai Yi is no ordinary adversary," Shi Bo, who usually had a stern face in the Xiao Alliance, smiled as he spoke.

"I know, I will definitely win today. Don’t worry, Uncle Shi Bo, Uncle Daniu," Xiao Fan burst forth with an awe-inspiring War Intent, the glow in his eyes blazing like an unsheathed Divine Sword, showing off his edge to the world.

Since Xiao Fan had not yet reached the Void Martial Realm, he could not truly fly through the sky. He leaped up and shot straight towards the summit of Heavenly Peak.

Shi Bo and Wu Daniu exchanged smiles and shook their heads. They both saw in Xiao Fan the echoes of the young Xiao Ye; perhaps Xiao Fan might even surpass his brother in the future, making their current worries perhaps somewhat unnecessary.

Next, the two descended and prepared to enjoy this peak showdown.

Without needing them to call out, the kings of the Twelve Countries of the Yulan Domain proactively came forward to greet them, being very enthusiastic.

Nevertheless, their minds preoccupied with Xiao Fan, they responded lukewarmly to a few words and stopped the small talk, causing a series of kings to offer bitter smiles continuously, but there was nothing they could do—who could compete with the formidable Xiao Alliance?

"Little Xiao Fan has grown up so much." Those from the Xiao Family who had returned to the Yulan Domain, hearing the news of this peak confrontation and following the crowd, concealed themselves, ready to watch this grand battle unfold.

Xiao Ye, seeing Xiao Fan as he was now, smiled contentedly; the child of the past had grown into one of the rare Supreme Geniuses of the Yulan Domain.

"Xiao Ye, worthy of being your brother, he truly is freakish!" Xiao Teng, standing by, clicked his tongue in astonishment. To possess a First-class Innate Cultivation at this age, if not called freakish, then what?

Xiao Teng’s gaze swept around, spotting many old acquaintances, and he became extremely excited. If it weren’t for Xiao Ye not wanting to reveal himself yet, he would have already charged out.
