Chapter 495 - 481: Xiao Ye in Closed-door Training

Chapter 495: Chapter 481: Xiao Ye in Closed-door Training

Time flies like an arrow, in the blink of an eye.

Soon, a month had passed since Xiao Ye entered the Yellow Dragon Island Space. With the joint examination day of the Four Great Halls approaching, the Yellow Hall was immersed in fervent activity, gradually forgetting about Xiao Ye and Little White. Even the disciples from the Main Hall and the other three Sub-Halls rarely visited the Yellow Hall to look for Xiao Ye anymore.

Now, the disciples of the Yellow Hall who met the qualifications for the examination were rubbing their hands in preparation, ready to make a name for themselves in the joint examination, and then advance into a higher-level Sub-Hall.

After all, the Yellow Hall had the lowest status within the entire Holy Palace, and they were not entitled to access King Martial Combat Skills and various treasure lands.

To stand out in Central State, a place teeming with geniuses and monsters, the joint examination was their only chance.

Meanwhile, the Yellow Dragon Island Space, still opened on schedule after reaching the designated time. Every time a thousand disciples entered the space, they would grasp the time to comprehend the Profound Mysteries of Laws. However, no one realized that Xiao Ye, who had caused a huge stir in the entire Taiyi Palace, was actually here too.

During this month, Xiao Ye had been in the small space left by Qiu Ze, earnestly comprehending the Slaughter Principle, feeling the profound mysteries of the Slaughter Law.

With the inspiration left by Qiu Ze and his own high comprehension, Xiao Ye increasingly felt the depth and subtlety of the Slaughter Principle, little wonder it could be called the strongest existence in terms of Attack Power among the Three Great Laws.

By now, Xiao Ye had figured out the path to the Level 10 Slaughter Principle, like standing at the gate of a treasure hall and discovering the door.

As long as he pushed open this door, he would ascend to the supreme King Martial Realm, transforming into the Slaughter King Martial. What he needed to do now was to deepen his comprehension, using the Slaughter Principle as a key to unlock this door.

Boom!

An unparalleled killing intent swept out from Xiao Ye, transforming into an endless sea of blood. He sat cross-legged in the sea of blood like a divine being, his aura majestic.

Xiao Ye completely sealed off his senses and internal awareness, losing track of himself and even the passage of time. The Mental Tranquility Technique he had acquired automatically activated, perfectly controlling the gradually intensifying Slaughter Principle.

In a moment of transcendental clarity, he seemed to have exceeded the suppression of this Heaven and Earth, hearing the supreme profound sound of Zen chanting, crossing space-time, emanating from the deepest part of the Universe, resounding by his ears.

Xiao Ye became even clearer about the path he would take in the future.

He had a premonition that as the Slaughter Principle reached its later stages, not only effort and insight were required but also great fortune.

For since ancient times, even the Human Race Four Emperors had not comprehended the Slaughter Principle to the Hundred-level Perfection, a realm only reachable by divine beings, where even the Four Emperors had to stop.

Once the Slaughter Principle was elevated to a sufficient level and Xiao Ye felt he could not control it, he would automatically stop, stabilize his realm to avoid backlash, and then duel with Little White.

After all, Little White had ascended higher than him, easily crushing Fang Hao, with his monstrous strength, even if fully unleashed, there was no worry of harming Little White.

Indeed, Little White did not disappoint him.

After ascending King Martial, not only was Little White’s speed extremely fast, but his defense was also terribly strong. Even standing there letting Xiao Ye attack, Xiao Ye could not breach Little White’s defense, causing Little White to burst into laughter, seemingly mocking Xiao Ye’s incapability.

Xiao Ye felt both amused and helpless, but he had to admit that Little White was indeed his best sparring partner.

While the Slaughter Principle was crazily advancing, Xiao Ye’s cultivation did not lag behind. After all, reaching Level 10 in the Slaughter Principle without a breakthrough in cultivation, he still could not ascend King Martial.

Although this small space did not have the aid of a Gathering Essence Array, Xiao Ye had the Time Tower in hand. Under the thirty-fold time acceleration, his cultivation and the Slaughter Principle advanced side by side, breaking through layers.

Xiao Ye underwent a tremendous transformation, like a peerless divine sword emitting a brilliance too dazzling to look directly at.

Finally, after several bouts, Xiao Ye finally managed to make Little White feel a bit of pain. White fur stained with streaks of blood, a small wound appeared.

Although small, the wound was quite shocking.

To think that even a genius disciple like Fang Hao, who had been King Martial for a long time, could not inflict such damage on Little White.

"Although I have not ascended to King Martial, my overall strength can definitely match a King Martial Realm expert. If I encounter Fang Hao again, I can definitely overpower him!" Xiao Ye’s eyes sparkled brilliantly, his face filled with excitement.

Of course, Xiao Ye was not blindly arrogant. After witnessing a combined effort of two monstrous talents from the Main Hall, who could even contend with an Emperor Martial Realm expert, he knew the road ahead was still long.

At a minimum, he needed to pass this joint examination of the Four Main Sub-Halls to truly stand above the heroes.

"I feel my cultivation is not far from Virtual Martial Ninth Level." Xiao Ye muttered to himself, then picked up a High Grade Essence Stone and delved into intense cultivation.

Time flew, and another three and a half months passed, leaving just half a month until the joint examination of the Four Sub-Halls.

On this day, the bell of Taiyi Holy Palace echoed and the Holy Sound lingered. A terrifying pressure of the Ultimate Path that surpassed everything, soared from the depths of the Holy Palace into the sky.

At the same time, all Martial Artists in both King Martial Realm and Emperor Martial Realm felt this ultimate suppression, their bodies shivering uncontrollably.

However, disciples in the Void Martial Realm felt nothing.

"Is that the Palace Master’s summoning bell? Could it be that this time the Palace Master is going to personally preside over the joint assessment?" Tian Jiu in the Earth Hall said with a face full of shock, looking out the window.

In the entire Taiyi Holy Palace, the only one who possessed such ultimate pressure was the Palace Master of Taiyi, a top powerhouse of Central State, truly standing at the peak of the True Spirit Continent, overlooking all Martial Artists and serving as the spiritual pillar of Taiyi Holy Palace.

Sure enough, the next moment, a dignified voice rang in the ears of all the elders of the Sub-Halls.

"Yes, Palace Master!" Hearing the voice of the Holy Palace Master, Tian Jiu’s face grew stern, then he rose and flew out of the palace, heading deep into the Holy Palace.

At the same time, the Law Enforcement Elders from the other four Main Halls, including the Main Hall, all appeared, their Emperor Martial Realm pressure vast, as they too received the transmission from the Holy Palace Master.

Disciples within the Holy Palace watched in shock as many Elders flew towards a steep, cloud-shrouded peak.

"Is that Duantian Peak, where our Holy Palace’s Master cultivates in seclusion? With so many Law Enforcement Elders rushing there, has something major happened?"

"What else could be a big deal? The biggest event in our Holy Palace recently is the upcoming joint assessment of the Four Main Halls. It must be that the Palace Master has some tasks to assign, hence summoning all Law Enforcement Elders."

"You’re right, this year’s joint assessment seems to be very interesting."

"Which year’s joint assessment wasn’t interesting? When the time comes, besides the monster of the Main Hall, other outstanding disciples from the Sub-Halls will appear. I’m really looking forward to it."

...

Disciples from all parts of the Taiyi Holy Palace, seeing the scene of many Elders rushing to Duantian Peak, couldn’t help but excitedly discuss, the noisy voices were thunderous, looking forward to the joint assessment in half a month’s time with great anticipation.

What exactly the Holy Palace Master intended to gather all Law Enforcement Elders within the Holy Palace for, no one knew.

Yet, that day some disciples had personally seen, upon returning from Duantian Peak, several Law Enforcement Elders had faces filled with worry, some with excitement, some shaking their heads sighing...

This strange scene had also prompted some speculation among the Holy Palace Disciples, each discussing excitedly.

But soon, their attention was drawn to the upcoming joint assessment of the Four Main Halls.

On the day before the assessment started, the disciples of the Four Main Halls became restless, and even those without qualifications to participate were very excited.

Because witnessing powerful genius disciples taking action is also a form of cultivation.

At this moment, in the buildings of Yellow Hall, powerful disciples opened their eyes, their radiant gazes tearing through the heavens, their boiling war intent reaching the Nine Heavens.

"Hmph, I’ve been in the Yellow Hall for over six years, having reached King Martial two years ago. Unfortunately, I failed in the assessments of previous years, unable to break into Xuanzi Hall. After cultivating for this year, my strength has increased significantly, this time I will surely succeed!"

A long-haired, older disciple, radiating strong King Martial Realm pressure, with hands clasped behind his back, surged into the sky, his face full of confidence.

"Wuwei senior brother, maybe you’ll fail again this time, while your junior brother here will replace you to enter Xuanzi Hall." At this moment, a presumptuous voice echoed, darkening the face of the older disciple immediately.

Fang Hao!

Seeing Fang Hao, who was walking on air approaching, the older disciple’s face showed a mocking smile.

Both were outstanding disciples of Yellow Hall, both having reached King Martial, having not-so-small grievances between them, hence every encounter was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder.

"Fang Hao, I heard that previously, you were even suppressed by a new disciple at Level 8 of Virtual Martial and couldn’t lift your head. Now you still have the face to mock me?"

"If it were me, I would have found a hole to crawl into long ago, to avoid embarrassing myself and letting others think all the disciples of Yellow Hall are useless!" the older disciple mocked.

"Hmph!" Hearing the other party revealing his scars, a towering killing intent rose from Fang Hao, his fists clenching with a crackling sound, unable to respond.

He had been suppressed by Xiao Ye, who was at Level 8 of Virtual Martial, and severely injured by Little White, which had become his shame.

"Xiao Ye, and that beast, don’t let me find out where you are, otherwise I will definitely find a way to kill you!" Fang Hao’s eyes flickered with cold light.
