Free Web NovelChapter 1626: Chapter 1609: Light After Darkness
After the news of the Heavenly Emperor’s fall spread, the world was abuzz with excitement, countless people were crying with joy and cheering loudly.
The era of dark turmoil that enveloped the entire True Spirit Continent had finally come to an end, a period of darkness they were unwilling to look back upon.
The name Xiao Ye possessed the power of time, deeply imprinted in their hearts, never to be erased.
The Heavenly Emperor Divine Dynasty naturally crumbled under pressure from all around, as Martial Artists from various regions of Central State rushed in.
The three Half Emperors of the Wuji Sect, led the martial artists of the sect, came as per Xiao Ye’s instructions, searching the entire Unrivaled Emperor Realm.
After rescuing five old friends, Xiao Ye carefully searched within the golden palace and discovered many Martial Arts Secret Manuals, along with corpses emanating a chilling Death Qi.
These corpses were all of Central State Martial Artists, completely shriveled, their blood drained, the methods were ghastly, revealing to Xiao Ye how the vast amount of blood in the Heavenly Pit had come to be.
Beyond this, he found no other results.
"A Quasi Emperor’s strength? Settled the dark turmoil single-handedly?"
"Honored as Emperor Xiao?"
"How is this possible... Has it really been so short a time for him to reach such heights?"
...
Within the Unrivaled Emperor Realm, the five geniuses, brought out of the golden palace by Xiao Ye, after rejoicing at seeing the sun again, became mute with shock upon learning what had transpired during their imprisonment, as if a great mountain weighed on their chests, making it hard to breathe.
It was too demoralizing!
The opponents they once contended with, now stood at such a height, leaving them devoid of any War Intent, not even having the privilege to look up.
Xiao Ye was just too dazzling.
"Brother Xiao, you..." Absolute Emperor’s son Tang Yi said, with a bitter smile.
He was the least damaged of the five, able to release a trace of Emperor’s Martial Intent.
At the time when Xiao Ye crushed the Heavenly Emperor Divine Dynasty, he sensed the vibrations from the outside world, so he made a sound, leading Xiao Ye to discover them.
But he never imagined that Xiao Ye had already forcefully pacified the dark turmoil.
"Everyone, your Blood Qi is severely depleted, your Martial Arts Foundation is damaged, and your Martial Arts Cultivation is constrained, why not follow me back to the Wuji Sect, where I have Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures to help heal you."
"Today, the Martial Arts on the True Spirit Continent are dwindling and we need to create a grand era together." Xiao Ye greeted the five, speaking.
Although the dark turmoil was pacified, the True Spirit Continent suffered severe losses, even Half-step Emperors are rare now. To gradually recover, these geniuses are crucial.
They are the foundation for the True Spirit Continent to rejuvenate.
He has checked these five old friends, aside from severe Blood Qi depletion, there are no big issues.
If they rely on Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures from the Emperor World for a few years of proper recuperation, they should gradually recover.
As for the constraints on their cultivation, with his Quasi Emperor strength, he could slowly help resolve them.
"Hahaha, Lord Xiao, even if you didn’t invite me, I was planning to join the Wuji Sect anyway, after all, your Wuji Sect is the future Emperor Sect."
Dongfang Huoqing, with messy hair like a wild man, grins.
"Alright, I have no objections."
"Since my Absolute Emperor Domain has been destroyed, nowhere else to go, might as well join the Wuji Sect first."
...
Absolute Emperor’s son, Emperor Wu Di’s son, and Huang Taiji all nodded consecutively, with no objections.
They all appreciated Xiao Ye’s approach.
Especially the Absolute Emperor’s son, who was convinced by Xiao Ye’s magnanimity.
"Xiao Ye, the dark turmoil has been pacified, and the Four Great Emperor Domains shattered, the future of the True Spirit Continent is ours."
"We six will surely become the sovereigns of this era, reaching the Absolute Peak, dazzling for a time, and if we are to pioneer an Emperor Road in this era, we may end up as rivals."
"Now you’re helping us heal, aren’t you afraid of creating powerful opponents with your own hands?"
"After all, several among the five of us were once your opponents."
Nangong Xingyu, who had been silent, suddenly spoke with a solemn voice.
"Nangong Xingyu, what do you mean?"
This statement, like a sharp knife, shattered the harmonious atmosphere of reunion, causing Tang Yi and the four to slightly frown, a flash of anger in their eyes.
Did Nangong Xingyu intend to turn them against Xiao Ye?
At this moment, the four nervously looked at Xiao Ye.
The current Xiao Ye is not the same as before, and their futures are in his hands.
Xiao Ye helping them is a kindness, not helping them would be understandable.
"Brother Nangong, don’t worry, I remember what you said back in the day."
"Perhaps one day we will become opponents in order to break through the barriers of Martial Arts, engaging in fierce battle to hone ourselves."
"If that truly happens, I will not regret my decision today."
Xiao Ye gave Nangong Xingyu a deep look, speaking calmly and confidently.
These five old friends were indeed the strongest geniuses of this era, but compared to him, they fell short.
Or perhaps, he never saw these five old friends as opponents.
The current True Spirit Continent, for him, poses no challenges anymore.
It’s just...
Nangong Xingyu’s attitude left a slight feeling of displeasure.
Did Nangong Xingyu undergo a change in character, having been affected while confined by the Heavenly Emperor?
Knowing that previously, Nangong Xingyu would never have said such words.
"Haha, alright!"
Nangong Xingyu faced the angry gazes of Emperor Wu Di’s son and others, smiled slightly and said nothing more, rendering the atmosphere between them quite awkward.
With no significant discovery thereafter, Xiao Ye took Little White to leave first and returned to Wuji City.
Upon reuniting with his family, there was naturally a sound of joyful laughter.
Pei Jiang and the three Half Emperors, along with Nangong Xingyu and others, also headed towards Wuji City.
"The dark turmoil has been pacified, according to my four Masters’ instructions, I should return to the Emperor World and access the true secrets of the sect."
"Sadly, the Ultimate Palace Main Palace Master and the Cang Clan Patriarch leave me uneasy to leave."
Xiao Ye sat in Wuji City, his deep gaze directed at the Heavenly Dome, with a hint of worry.
He vaguely felt that the Ultimate Palace Main Palace Master and the Cang Clan Patriarch are not among the Five Sealed Emperor Strong People, their whereabouts are mysterious, lurking in the shadows.
Now, he can only wait for these two powerful individuals to come knocking, which is really passive.
"One year!"
"In the coming year, I will be stationed at the Wuji Sect; if there is still no trace of these two strong individuals, I will then have to ask my four masters for help."
Xiao Ye’s eyes blazed.
(More of the Martial Break story will unfold, thank you all for your continued support, Xiao Bei will strive to write the upcoming plot even more wonderfully.)
