Free Web NovelChapter 1621: Chapter 1604: Revered by All Under Heaven
The land of the Three Alliances Domain had completely fallen into a battlefield; roaring great rivers were evaporated one after another, towering mountain peaks collapsed in turn, and even the mountains and rivers themselves were reshaped.
Within the Three Alliances Domain, violent winds howled; in the void, Quasi-Emperor blood brimming with pure energy drifted and scattered. A single drop could crush an entire mountain range, a single piece of flesh could nurture a Treasure Land, and now it all seemed to be casting a resplendent yet tragic elegy.
In the ten-thousand-year Martial Arts history of the True Spirit Continent, countless peerless Human Heroes and Supreme Geniuses had appeared, but those who could take that final step, leave their glory eternal, and become Great Emperors were only four in total.
Now, of the Five Sealed Emperor Strong People who had survived from the Ancient Era to this life through a Supreme Evil Technique and revived, two had already walked toward their fall.
As for the Sword Emperor and Barbarian Emperor, at this moment both had sublimated to the extreme, restoring their Quasi Emperor cultivation, returning to their most glorious state of the past. That boundlessly terrifying aura pierced through Heaven and Earth, causing the entire Central State to quake.
The Heaven and Earth Power circled in from all directions, surging and rolling within the void, as if it could suppress all things.
With every step these two great powerhouses took, Martial Arts Sound quivered and rang within their withered bodies. In the end, the sound of blood flowing inside them was clearly audible, like the surging Yangtze River, like an angry Ocean cleaving the sky, capable of penetrating ancient and modern times.
At this moment, although they were so old and decrepit as to be unrecognizable and had been forced onto a road of no return, their eyes were still incomparably bright, and they had unexpectedly become calm.
In their final hours, they both wished to fight a battle against the strongest genius of this era, to use that to offer sacrifice to the lives they were about to lose.
The Martial Artists of the Barbarian Emperor Divine Dynasty and Sword Emperor Divine Dynasty cried out in grief.
Even if in this battle the Barbarian Emperor and Sword Emperor, my Lords, could behead Xiao Ye—so what?
Once life is gone, all will turn to emptiness.
"Kill!"
Facing the Sword Emperor and Barbarian Emperor who had transformed into Quasi Emperors, Xiao Ye did not retreat in the slightest. His black hair danced wildly, all his Tao and Law surged madly; wielding the Xiao Blade in his hand, he charged forth in domineering fashion, his Combat Power raging.
He even unleashed those Tao and Law he had simulated from the Barbarian Emperor and Sword Emperor through the Hundred Battle Secret Skill.
Little White also rushed over to assist.
A battle at Quasi Emperor Level was truly too terrifying; even Half-step Emperors did not dare approach to watch. Very few people knew the details of this fight.
Some said that at the final instant, the strongest genius of this era attained sudden enlightenment, shattered all obstacles, directly transformed into a Great Emperor, and slew the Sword Emperor and Barbarian Emperor beneath his blade.
Others said that the Barbarian Emperor and Sword Emperor, after all, were figures of the Ancient Era; although they reached ultimate brilliance and became Quasi Emperors, they could not make Tao and Law eternal. They were like fireworks blooming—after reaching the Absolute Peak, they dimmed, stepping into darkness after their splendor and thus fell.
No matter what rumors circulated, after this battle lasted for a full day and night, the Dark Emperor and Sword Emperor vanished together. After their fall, the vast Central State once more burst into new vitality.
They had been born in the Ancient Era, became overlords of their age, and in the end fell in this era, leaving nothing behind.
Moreover, this battle caused incomparably great devastation.
The Dark Emperor and Sword Emperor were fulfilling their bold words: to bury this era, to drag all Martial Artists of this era into the grave with them.
The Three Alliances Domain and Holy Fire Domain were almost completely blasted through; several surrounding Great Domains were also implicated. Of the hundreds of thousands of Central State Martial Artists who had come to seek the protection of the Wuji Sect, innumerable were killed or injured.
However, those Martial Artists who survived were shouting in excited celebration.
After darkness, there will be clear skies!
Of the Five Sealed Emperor Strong People, four were already gone; only the final Heavenly Emperor remained.
By contrast, the Wuji Sect now possessed two Quasi-Emperor Battle Power; the end of the Dark Turmoil was almost before their eyes.
In their view, having swept away the Four Great Sealed Emperor Strong People, Lord Xiao, the Emperor, should descend once more upon the Heavenly Emperor Divine Dynasty and uproot the Heavenly Emperor, this malignant tumor.
Though the Heavenly Emperor was usually very amiable and did not possess the same cruelty as the other Four Great Sealed Emperors, the Central State Martial Artists were still full of wariness toward him, believing that such a person should not exist in this era.
Yet Xiao Ye did not act thus. He only dispatched several Half Emperor Battle Power from the Wuji Sect to carry out a bloody purge of the Barbarian Emperor Divine Dynasty, Wind Emperor, Dark Emperor, and Sword Emperor’s Four Great Divine Dynasties, leaving behind no hidden dangers.
As for Xiao Ye himself, ever since that Quasi Emperor battle, he had never appeared again.
Moreover, someone had once personally seen Xiao Ye covered in blood, his body shattered, his Combat Power exhausted.
This news, once spread, conveyed an extremely dangerous signal to those Central State Martial Artists who had survived by luck.
Heavens!
Could it be that in that Absolute Peak duel with the Sword Emperor and Barbarian Emperor, Lord Xiao the Emperor had not broken through, and had likewise stepped onto a road of no return?
Such doubts flew everywhere; some even could not resist going to the Wuji Sect to seek an audience, but they were all turned away.
This made the surviving Central State Martial Artists even more uneasy.
However, although the Dark Turmoil had not been completely ended, after all only the final Heavenly Emperor Divine Dynasty remained.
And the Heavenly Emperor seemed also intimidated by the current might of the Wuji Sect, sealing off the entire Heavenly Emperor Divine Dynasty and restraining his subordinates, who would not lightly set foot in the mortal world.
Amid these several great upheavals, the surviving Central State Martial Artists tried to walk out of the Three Alliances Domain and Holy Fire Domain, rebuilding their former Sects amid the ruins.
It seemed as though the vast Central State had recovered the Order it had before the Dark Turmoil; everywhere was brimming with vigorous life force, displaying a scene of flourishing prosperity.
Even the Taiyi Palace Master, who had originally been stationed to guard Wuji City, led the remaining Martial Artists of the Taiyi Palace to rebuild the Taiyi Palace.
Yet no matter how proud these Central State Martial Artists might be, they all maintained a sense of gratitude toward Xiao Ye, allowing the Wuji Sect to stand at a height honored by the entire world.
At the same time, they remained deeply concerned about the condition of Emperor Xiao.
Time flew like a shuttle, years rushed by; in the blink of an eye, a full year had passed since that Quasi Emperor Level battle. The Three Alliances Domain and Holy Fire Domain, which had nearly been blasted through, were slowly being restored through the actions of the Wuji Sect’s Half Emperors.
In the Three Alliances Domain, within a mountain range a hundred miles away from the Wuji Sect.
Inside a palace built from piled stone, a youth in a black robe and a boy in white clothing sat facing each other.
Without needing to say it, this youth and boy were precisely Xiao Ye and Little White.
After that battle with the Barbarian Emperor and Sword Emperor, who had sublimated to the limit and restored their Quasi Emperor strength, even though Xiao Ye was immensely powerful, he was still gravely wounded; his Combat Power was completely depleted, and he had almost fallen.
After the war, he moved into this mountain range to enter Meditation, and while healing his injuries, he also stabilized his Realm.
Over the course of this year, aside from his family occasionally visiting, only Little White had accompanied him.
"Little White, you’re saying that after being severely injured by the Dark Emperor, at the brink of life and death, a mysterious inheritance surfaced in your mind, allowing you to break through in one stroke and even transform into human form?"
"This..."
At this moment, Xiao Ye carefully questioned Little White, his face full of shock.
When Little White fought the Dark Emperor, he displayed many unfathomable Combat Techniques, whose Power was no less than Emperor-level Combat Skills. When he joined forces with Xiao Ye to face the Sword Emperor and Barbarian Emperor, he had only suffered minor injuries. Now these doubts were finally resolved.
Regrettably, regarding these Combat Techniques, Little White himself was utterly confused and could not even pass them on, which left Xiao Ye rather regretful.
Little White’s encounter was simply unheard-of!
He himself had labored bitterly at cultivation to obtain his current Quasi-Emperor Level strength.
Yet Little White had only been grievously wounded and fallen into slumber; upon waking, he had reached this level. Truly, comparing one person to another is infuriating.
It seemed that Little White was far from being merely a Ferocious Beast.
Xiao Ye grew more and more curious about Little White’s origin; the next time he met the Empress, he would certainly ask her clearly.
"Fortunately, with the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures my senior brothers gave me, my injuries could recover so quickly, and my Realm could be stabilized."
"Heavenly Emperor, you truly can endure in silence." Xiao Ye’s deep gaze looked into the distance as he murmured softly.
