Chapter 1543: Chapter 1526: Progress, Defying the Heavens
The term ’Dark Turmoil’ has been mentioned by the Four Emperors more than once. freewebnovel.cσ๓
What exactly has happened on the True Spirit Continent to warrant such evaluation from the Four Emperors? I fear it’s more than just the appearance of the Ultimate Palace Main Palace Master and the Cang Clan Patriarch.
Given this, why do the Four Emperors, who care deeply for the people of the True Spirit Continent, refrain from taking action themselves and entrust this to me?
"Yes, Iron Blood Master!"
Although Xiao Ye was filled with doubts in his heart, he still respectfully bowed to the void and paid his respects. He had no objection to the arrangement of the Four Emperors.
Upon hearing once more about the onset of the Dark Turmoil period on the True Spirit Continent, Xiao Ye became worried about the safety of Wuji Sect, severing ties with the past, transforming into an ordinary Martial Artist—his perfectly tranquil mental state was disrupted.
"Xiao Ye, do not worry. Your Wuji Sect, along with your family and friends, are presently safe. Over the next five years, you should continue to pursue your martial path."
"By the time you quell the Dark Turmoil and return to the Emperor World, you will naturally understand everything."
Seemingly seeing through Xiao Ye’s thoughts, Iron Blood Emperor’s ethereal voice transmitted once again.
As soon as the voice faded, the terrifying Emperor’s Thought that permeated the void dispersed entirely.
"My family and friends are currently safe... but what about after five years?"
Xiao Ye understood the meaning behind Iron Blood Emperor’s words and suddenly clenched his fists.
"Worrying now is of no use. I must follow through on this path severing the past until the end, only then would it be possible to attain supreme glory from mere ordinariness and strive for a higher realm."
Seated cross-legged at the same spot, Xiao Ye closed his eyes, forcing himself to empty everything from his mind; ten days later, he opened them again, his eyes were calm.
"Continue cultivating!"
Springing to his feet, Xiao Ye set forth on the continent, resuming his meditation.
No longer laden with worries.
Free from pressure.
Xiao Ye discarded all distractions, akin to an observer, watching the Emperor World’s sunrise and sunset, the blooming and withering of flowers, and he seemed like a participant who partakes in all these.
His alignment with this continent’s mountains and landscapes was perfect; every day he faced the sunrise, practicing internally, undergoing training.
Rather than labeling this as martial cultivation, one could say it was a tempering of mental realm.
During this period, the Four Emperors of the Human Race, once again departed the Emperor World with his eight Half-step Emperor senior brothers, yet he paid no attention or gave thought to it, being fully engrossed in his martial arts.
As the cultivation continued, Xiao Ye’s cultivation level began to rise steadily.
King Martial Level 5!
King Martial Level 6!
King Martial Level 7!
King Martial Level 8!
...
Time flies, and two years swiftly passed by.
Crash, crash!
On the coastline of Xiao Ye’s territorial continent, tumultuous waves surged vigorously, massive tidal waves rolled, the aura of Perfect Wind Profoundness and Mystical Water permeated, amidst steam turning fog, transforming into countless hands of waves rising to the sky, evolving into extremely terrifying killing moves, like a myriad of Martial Artists attacking, densely packed.
Xiao Ye hovered above the sea, his long black hair danced wildly, his robes billowed, behind him an Emperor Realm rose, resembling a bright moon forming a martial arts anomaly of ’the moon rising over the sea,’ unleashing an aura of Emperor Martial Level 1 cultivation.
Despite its ordinary appearance, the Emperor Realm surprisingly emitted a resounding clang. Upon closer inspection, one could distinctly find a blurred silhouette sitting cross-legged within this Emperor Realm, seemingly imbued with Divine, emitting a resounding clang, bearing similarity with the Emperor Realm pioneered by Four Emperor Skills.
"Bright Moon Emperor Technique, though traditionally the most ordinary of Emperor Martial techniques, has integrated my understanding of martial arts, becoming distinctly different."
Xiao Ye’s eyes flashed like lightning, raising his palms, meeting the advancing hands of waves.
If Xiao Ye’s eight Half-step Emperor senior brothers were here, they would certainly be stunned.
In the past, Xiao Ye fought against this sentient ocean with profound laws. But this time, he relied solely on his own cultivation to confront it head-on.
It’s important to note that when Xiao Ye initially entered the Emperor Realm and encountered this sentient ocean, using various trump cards, he managed to step into the Demon God Domain and push forward.
Yet now Xiao Ye’s cultivation... was merely at Emperor Martial Level 1!
Crash, crash, crash!
The void trembled chaotically, terrifying explosions echoed throughout the heavens. As Xiao Ye’s palms struck forward, the Emperor Realm resembling a bright moon hovered, like a dam opening its gates, releasing strands of bright moonlight, each akin to an indestructible sword, surrounding him. They clashed incessantly with the advancing hands of waves, colliding head-on.
Every hand of the wave contained the Perfect Realm of Wind and Water Profoundness, unleashing terrifying power, and with countless numbers, their relentless barrage made the cold moonlight enveloping Xiao Ye groan under the pressure, quickly being distorted and shattered.
However, Xiao Ye showed no signs of panic; his tongue emitted a resounding chant, causing the Emperor Realm suspended like the bright moon to tremble, as if Sacred Sound resonated, the brilliance intensified. From within the silhouette seated there took a step forward.
This figure was enveloped entirely in misty moonlight. Once it merged with the Emperor Realm, a terrifying aura permeated, towering to ten zhang tall, like a Demon God standing tall, its gaze icy cold, devoid of any emotion.
This figure was not the Four Emperors’ silhouette contained within the Emperor Realm opened by Four Emperor Skills, but Xiao Ye himself!
This represents Xiao Ye’s understanding of martial arts, unlike Four Emperor Skills, which encapsulates parts of the Tao and Law.
Back then, when he and Emperor Wu Di discussed martial arts, both could manifest their martial enlightenment, but now it is completely substantiated - a stark contrast.
This step is something many Half-step Emperors cannot achieve.
The appearance of this figure bore an identical appearance to Xiao Ye, emanating a world-suppressing, sovereign aura, starkly contrasting with the seemingly ordinary Xiao Ye.
Boom!
Upon the appearance of this peerless figure, it directly took action, causing tremors across the Heavenly Capital, clearing all waves within a hundred steps around Xiao Ye as Emperor Martial power exhausted, dissipating.
Xiao Ye meanwhile raised a finger, a tempest of blood light flying, terrifying Slaughter Principle seeping through, a dreadful Sword Light a thousand feet long emerged, sweeping away all waves en route.
Xiao Ye stepped back onto the coastline, appearing at ease and carefree.
"As long as one’s enlightenment in martial arts surpasses realms, low cultivation can result in supreme power defying the heavens. This is why the Four Emperors of the Human Race established records beyond any successor’s capability."
"It’s a pity though... despite my great progress these two years, I have no clues about the third and fourth Profound Mysteries, although the Slaughter Principle has reached the seventy-fifth level."
"In a few more years, I can definitely ascend to Half Emperor using Slaughter Principle."
Xiao Ye turned and gazed at the serene ocean, a smile emerging on his face.
He was extremely satisfied with the outcome of this trial.
Law Profound Mystery requires not only exceptional perseverance and martial talent but also relies on fortuitous opportunities. They cannot be forced.
Moreover, he has already merged Slaughter Principle, Wind Profoundness, and Water Profoundness within himself; striving to comprehend additional Profound Mysteries poses a significant challenge.
