Chapter 482 - 468: Consecutive Breakthroughs

Chapter 482: Chapter 468: Consecutive Breakthroughs

Boom!

In the small space, Xiao Ye activated the second layer of his Ten Thousand Refining Golden Body, emanating a fierce Golden Radiance as if he were a golden-bodied War God. With a strong hand, he struck out with his Sword Light, which embodied his Slaughter Principle.

Two massive Sword Lights collided viciously, causing the void itself to collapse. Boundless energy waves swept in every direction, instantly sending the disciple who had ambushed him flying backwards, crashing heavily onto the ground with a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth and a face full of shock.

"You’ve actually grasped the Third-level Slaughter Principle!"

The disciple exclaimed in surprise, unable to believe that Xiao Ye had also comprehended the Slaughter Principle, and even more proficiently than him. Xiao Ye had easily blocked his surprise attack.

During his confrontation with Xie Ming, Xiao Ye relied on sheer strength to overpower his opponent, without displaying his understanding of the Profound Mysteries of Law, so no one knew that Xiao Ye had comprehended the most difficult and powerful Slaughter Principle, one of the Three Great Laws.

"Hmph!" Xiao Ye descended from the sky, stepping down on the disciple who was just about to rise, pinning him to the ground again. He bellowed, "We have no grievances or enmities, so why have you struck at me?"

From the earlier ambush, Xiao Ye saw that this disciple harbored a deadly determination towards him. Dare to risk breaking the palace rules to kill him, there must be a strong motive.

The disciple’s face was colored with resentment. Hearing Xiao Ye’s words, he snorted coldly, turned his head away, and did not reply.

"Not going to talk, huh?" Xiao Ye sneered coldly, slightly raising his hand, a Sword Light struck upon the disciple’s thigh, instantly splattering fresh blood.

"Ah!" The disciple screamed in agony, his facial expression twisted, "Xiao... Xiao Ye, you dare to lay your hands on me! When I return, I will definitely report to the Elders to have you sanctioned!"

"If anyone should be sanctioned, it’s you first. You’re the one trying to kill me; what does it matter if I give you a lesson?" Xiao Ye’s face was filled with a mocking tone, raising his palm slightly, ready to strike again.

Seeing Xiao Ye’s movement, the disciple was scared witless.

He dared to attack Xiao Ye because this was a small space that others would find hard to notice, right? Similarly, if Xiao Ye killed him here, wouldn’t that be a wrongful death?

"Junior Brother Xiao Ye, I’ll talk, I’ll talk!" the disciple hurriedly spoke out his thoughts.

"Afraid others will discover this space, your understanding of the Slaughter Principle surpasses yours?" Xiao Ye found this amusing and exasperating. The disciple must be some spoiled rich kid, daring to attack for such a frivolous reason.

With so many disciples in Taiyi Palace, does he plan to kill them all?

"Truly ignorant." Xiao Ye snorted coldly, kicking the disciple away. He hit the mountain wall hard, spitting out another mouthful of blood.

"Hmph!" Xiao Ye gave the other a cold glance, then strode towards the peak of the mountain.

Although the disciple was at fault first, killing him in anger would not be worth it. After all, Xiao Ye had just arrived at Taiyi Palace, and killing a fellow disciple over a dispute, even if it wasn’t his fault, would certainly impact him significantly.

Therefore, Xiao Ye did not strike, planning instead to report the incident to the Elders after leaving, letting them deal with it.

As Xiao Ye flew halfway up the mountain, he made an astonishing discovery.

For there, at the mid-mountain, stood a blood-red wordless stone tablet that emitted a rich blood light, like an ocean of Killing Aura spreading from it, causing ripples in the void.

Needless to say, this Stele must have been left by Qiu Ze, containing insights related to the Slaughter Principle, and the previous aura he sensed was emanating from this tablet.

Xiao Ye quickly took the opportunity to sit cross-legged in front of the wordless stone tablet, releasing his Void Martial Thought to establish a connection with it.

Immediately, Xiao Ye felt an overwhelming surge of inspiration rush towards him, rejuvenating his spirit like divine enlightenment.

"Indeed effective. Under such circumstances, my cultivation of the Slaughter Principle will certainly rise rapidly. It’s a pity I only have five days left, but thankfully I have the Time Tower at hand. Within its Third Layer, time can be extended by thirtyfold." Xiao Ye’s eyes sparkled with excitement, and then his consciousness delved into the Third Layer of the Time Tower, continuing his comprehension of the Slaughter Principle.

"Hmph, don’t think I’ll let you off easily just because you didn’t kill me, Fang Zheng!" At the foot of the mountain, the shabby-looking disciple struggled to his feet, the gaping wound on his right leg still bleeding, with severe pain contorting his features and a face full of resentment.

His cultivation might be ordinary, but very few disciples in Yellow Hall dared to provoke him because he had an elder brother Fang Hao.

Fang Hao was not like him - a famous figure in Yellow Hall, considered by the Elders as one of the disciples with the most potential to break into Xuanzi Hall in recent years, having advanced to the King Martial Realm and being incredibly powerful.

Fang Hao’s comprehension of the Mysterious Rules was exceedingly high, so this time he did not follow the many disciples to Yellow Dragon Island, instead choosing to practice alone in the external world, preparing himself for his assault on the Xuanzi Hall.

"Hmph, when I return, I will have my brother take revenge for me." Fang Zheng took out a golden healing salve from his Space Ring, stopped the bleeding, and then sat down at a distance.

In this small space, Fang Zheng wasn’t willing to leave just yet, given there were inspirations left by Qiu Ze; moreover, he realized Xiao Ye wasn’t someone who wouldn’t kill him. At the same time, out of fear of Xiao Ye, he did not dare to venture to the mountainside to comprehend the Slaughter Principle, and could only awkwardly sit here.

Boom!

Just then, a majestic blood-red column of light shot up from the mountainside into the heavens, stretching up into the clouds and intertwining with the Blood Clouds of the sky in this space, as if it was looking down upon all living beings.

"How... how is this possible? His Slaughter Principle has soared to three and a half levels in an instant!" Feeling the might of this Slaughter Principle, Fang Zheng was dumbstruck.

When Xiao Ye attacked and injured him just now, the Slaughter Principle was at the level of Third Level – he had broken through so quickly. This speed was just too exaggerated; could it be that Xiao Ye, like Qiu Ze, was also a genius in the Path of the Slaughter Principle?

Fang Zheng had no idea that Xiao Ye, before entering the Yellow Dragon Island Space, already had his own comprehension towards breaking through the Third-level Slaughter Principle with a profound foundation. Now he received guidance from Qiu Ze’s inspiration, like water flowing into a channel, leading to breakthroughs.

Moreover, with the aid of the Time Tower, Xiao Ye was naturally able to break through in an extremely short period of time.

In the next three days, Fang Zheng was utterly shocked by Xiao Ye, feeling as though Xiao Ye’s Slaughter Principle was enhancing at a terrifying speed every moment, totally monstrous.

When his heart was almost unable to bear it, Xiao Ye’s Slaughter Principle impressively reached the level of Level 5, and the rate of enhancement finally slowed down.

"This new disciple Xiao Ye, what exactly is his background?" Fang Zheng was completely astounded. Even though he was very jealous of Xiao Ye, he couldn’t help but be convinced by Xiao Ye’s talent.

It seemed like even without Qiu Ze’s inspiration, Xiao Ye would still have made a remarkable achievement in the Path of the Slaughter Principle; Qiu Ze’s insights simply fast-forwarded this process. It seemed like he was witnessing the rise of another Qiu Ze in the Yellow Hall.

In the blink of an eye, five days had passed.

At this time, Xiao Ye slowly opened his eyes at the waist of the mountain. Two beams of blood-red light burst forth, piercing through layers of void.

At the same time, an immensely powerful Slaughter Principle burst forth from his body, rolling back to the Nine Heavens, shattering the Heaven.

"Just a bit more and my Slaughter Principle could break through to Level 6, what a pity that it’s time to leave. But to discover a set of techniques to control one’s mind like the ’Clear Heart Technique’ in Qiu Ze’s insights is indeed an unexpected gain," Xiao Ye said, his face full of excitement.

The so-called Clear Heart Technique is, in fact, a Martial Arts Secret Skill that allows the mind to calm down. It’s especially useful for Martial Artists who comprehend the Slaughter Principle, as it can effectively reduce the likelihood of being backlashed by the Slaughter Principle.

Back in the day, Qiu Ze managed to comprehend the Slaughter Principle to the Level 10 Realm all the way uninterrupted, thus becoming a Slaughter King Martial with strong Attack Power.

When Qiu Ze left the Yellow Hall, in addition to leaving behind his inspiration, he also fused this Clear Heart Technique into the Stele, which was discovered by Xiao Ye, and he deduced it using the Time Tower.

If it were someone else, they’d be focusing on comprehending the Slaughter Principle in such a short time; who would care about any secret technique.

"Hmm?" At that moment, Xiao Ye’s expression was joyous, his Cultivation naturally broke through the Boundary Barrier and promoted to Virtual Martial Eighth Level.

"Haha, I didn’t expect that this trip to Yellow Dragon Island would yield such great rewards, even leading to a breakthrough in my Cultivation," an excited Xiao Ye said. The deficiencies in his Cultivation and mastery of Mysterious Rules were almost made up for.

By then, he’d be fully qualified to clash with the geniuses and monsters of Taiyi Palace and the Central State.

"Time’s up; it’s time to leave. Next time Yellow Dragon Island opens, I must find a way to come again," Xiao Ye stood up, reluctantly glancing at the wordless stone tablet one last time.

The insight on this Stele could allow him to quickly comprehend the Slaughter Principle to the Level 10 Realm and then ascend to the King Martial Realm.

In a competitive place like Taiyi Palace, one must at least possess the Cultivation of King Martial Realm to have sufficient voice.

"Hmph!" Xiao Ye stepped into the void, glanced at Fang Zheng, let out a cold snort, then tore through the void in this small space, returning to the main space of Yellow Dragon Island.

Right now, in the void of Yellow Dragon Island, a dazzling portal appeared, with swarms of Disciples like a tide flying towards this portal.

"Hmph, back at the Yellow Hall, I will go to find my big brother!" Fang Zheng watched Xiao Ye’s retreating figure, his eyes flashing with a vengeful look.
