Chapter 1632: Chapter 1615: Peerless Adversaries of the Era
Although Xiao Ye only exchanged dozens of moves with the Heavenly Emperor, who controlled Nangong Xingyu’s physical body, he simulated quite a bit of the Heavenly Emperor’s Tao and Law through the Hundred Battle Secret Skill.
If it weren’t for the fact that this was Wuji City, and his family and clan members were here, even if he let the Heavenly Emperor go, he wouldn’t stop so quickly.
Because the Tao and Law of the Quasi Emperor were of great use to him, this was confirmed by the other Four Sealed Emperor Strong People.
"The strength of the Heavenly Emperor is much stronger than the other Four Sealed Emperor Strong People!"
The more Xiao Ye pondered and analyzed the Martial Arts of the Heavenly Emperor, the more he could sense its profound and unfathomable nature.
Compared to the Half Emperor, the biggest advantage of the Quasi Emperor, aside from absolute cultivation suppression, was the ability to mobilize the Heaven and Earth Power.
Even though martial artists who reach a high level can move mountains and seas with their own power, human power is ultimately limited; how can they contend with Heaven and Earth?
According to his speculation, at his peak, the Heavenly Emperor would control at least 50% of the Heaven and Earth Power!
Even if he were to use all his trump cards, his current strength could only be equivalent to a Quasi Emperor controlling 40% of the Heaven and Earth Power.
It could be said that among the Five Sealed Emperor Strong People, the Heavenly Emperor was the most powerful, especially since he had taken control of Nangong Xingyu’s physical body, freeing himself from the slash of time. His chances of proclaiming himself Emperor in this lifetime were very high.
The Heavenly Emperor was undoubtedly a generation-defining hero, even unable to be buried by the river of time.
"With this part of the Heavenly Emperor’s Martial Arts, I can help push the Four Emperor Skills of my Half Emperor Realm to an even higher level!"
Xiao Ye’s eyes flashed with excitement.
In terms of true realm, he was only at the Half Emperor Realm now.
The reason he could bridge the chasm between Half Emperor and Quasi Emperor, control Heaven and Earth Power, and possess Quasi Emperor strength was not just due to two Half Emperor transformations or mastering four great mysteries and one great law, but primarily because of the Four Emperor Skills.
If he could elevate the Four Emperor Skills to the Quasi Emperor level, his strength might even reach the Great Emperor level and be on par with a Great Emperor.
Cultivating the unprecedented Four Emperor Skills to become a Fusion Emperor, destined to be unrivaled in the world, was only a matter of time.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
At present, Xiao Ye closed his eyes to comprehend the Heavenly Emperor’s Tao and Law, using it as a foundation to deduce the Four Emperor Skills, with divine light swirling around him, covering his entire body.
At this moment, four Half Emperor Powers and Slaughter Half Emperor Power simultaneously shot towards the heavenly dome, shaking the void.
Xiao Ye, merely sitting cross-legged casually, exuded an unparalleled presence, resembling a Demon God.
While Xiao Ye was cultivating painstakingly, events occurring in Wuji City also swept out like a storm, shaking the Four Great States of Central State, East, South, and North, putting everyone on edge.
The Heavenly Emperor was not dead, and moreover controlled the physical body of this lifetime’s Heavenly Pride, Nangong Xingyu, which was like a Death God standing behind them, capable of taking their lives at any moment—who dared to relax?
The martial artists of True Spirit Continent did not thus blame Xiao Ye but showed him enough respect, for without Xiao Ye, they would have continued their desperate struggles.
However, even though there was an agreement between the Heavenly Emperor and Emperor Xiao, the martial artists of True Spirit Continent still dared not venture out and train easily, choosing to hide within their sects.
Nangong Xingyu’s name, like a supreme taboo, was deeply engraved in the hearts of the martial artists of True Spirit Continent.
At the same time, the impending peak battle between Emperor Xiao and the Heavenly Emperor in half a year was keenly anticipated, already recorded in the True Spirit History Book even before it began.
No matter the outcome of this battle, it was destined to be renowned throughout the river of time!
It was rumored that Emperor Xiao also began seclusion in Wuji City, preparing for his clash with the Heavenly Emperor.
Six months was a short time.
Time flew by like a shuttle, slowly passing amidst the tremors of various forces.
The Heavenly Emperor indeed adhered to his agreement with Emperor Xiao, not walking the mortal world, and no one saw the Heavenly Emperor walking in Central State, completely vanishing.
However, this did not warrant celebration, for an even greater upheaval occurred on True Spirit Continent.
Some martial artists personally witnessed a strand of purple light, seemingly pouring from the Nine Heavens, tumultuous and terrifying, wielding the power to shake the earth, directly splitting apart the entire Northern State!
While the Northern State escaped the dark turmoil, it could not avoid this disaster.
Countless Heavenly Pride Dynasties and Dynasties above the Northern State were obliterated as dust; not even a martial artist or ferocious beast survived, all turning to dust, sinking into the Endless Sea.
Amidst that purple light, a tall figure faintly stood atop the heavenly dome, seemingly contending with boundless lightning, with heaven and earth power penetrating and shattering the heavens, an extent of terror beyond common sense.
This tall figure, akin to a Great Emperor, seemed to tread the entire heaven and earth beneath his feet, imperiously unrivaled, wielding infinite power, seemingly capable of ascending the Nine Heavens and delving into the Nine Nether.
Every inch of his body contained invincible power, impervious to all techniques.
Yet, this was just a fragmentary shadow, akin to a projection emerging across the river of time, soon vanishing without a trace, but the fracturing of the entire Northern State was a fact, completely defying common sense.
The entire True Spirit Continent was in an uproar!
Heavens!
So terrifying!
A strand of purple light flattened the entire Northern State?
Was this human power or a natural disaster?
If it was human power, it was too terrifying, almost comparable to the Supreme Empress’s division of continents in history.
Could it be that the Heavenly Emperor broke his promise and intervened?
As the current foremost power on True Spirit Continent, Wuji Sect naturally acted upon the news, sending Half Emperor Strong Person Wu Ming for investigation; after careful inspection, it was determined to have no connection with the Heavenly Emperor.
This was chilling!
Could there be such terrifying strong entities hidden on True Spirit Continent?
For a moment, various rumors and gossip spread wildly, all martial artists were trembling in fear.
After the destruction of Northern State, a month later, that fragmentary shadow unexpectedly reappeared in Southern State.
This time, although no purple light emerged nor any damage was caused, it was witnessed by many martial artists.
Subsequently, that fragmentary shadow began appearing more frequently, even showing up in Central State; Taiyi Palace Master personally appeared to inspect, but found no result.
Realizing that the fragmentary shadow caused no further destruction, the martial artists of True Spirit Continent remained heavily burdened.
For they sensed that True Spirit Continent might usher in even greater crises, this era was bound not to be tranquil.
These six months were the most turbulent period in True Spirit Continent; countless martial artists had their hearts in their throats.
They could only hope that Emperor Xiao’s reemergence would pacify everything.
"Purple Blood appears, Ghost God perishes!"
"Could that fragmentary shadow be the Cang Clan Patriarch... has he finally appeared?"
In Wuji Sect, Bing Ya, dressed in a plain robe, had a pale face.
The threat of the Cang Clan Patriarch and Ultimate Palace Main Palace Master, Xiao Ye chose not to incite panic, revealing it only to her without invoking concern for family and clan members.
With such a deduction, naturally, Bing Ya dared not be careless; she, who usually paid no attention to Wuji Sect affairs, appeared to seize control of Wuji Sect, preparing escape plans to guard against contingencies.
