Chapter 1633: Chapter 1616: Keeping the Appointment to Battle the Heavenly Emperor
Regarding Bing Ya’s actions, though the Wuji Sect’s strong practitioners were puzzled, they still followed orders.
Without mentioning the Heavenly Emperor who controlled Nangong Xingyu’s physical body and sought to manifest as a Great Emperor in this life, just the purple light that leveled the entire Northern State conveyed an unusual undercurrent that even the most ordinary Martial Artist could sense surging throughout the True Spirit Continent.
Although the terrifying phenomena evolved from the purple light were mere illusions, akin to mirages that quickly vanished, no one dared to ignore them.
Because that scene was so horrific, it made people tense and unable to remain calm, like a shocking storm about to occur, stiflingly oppressive.
Time flies, half a year’s time passed in an instant, nearing its end.
For the Central State Martial Artists, it felt like enduring several decades, filled with anxiety under pressure, yet also anticipation.
In half a year’s time, repay Nangong Xingyu’s favor, and then in a life-and-death battle, settle everything.
The words Emperor Xiao spoke in Wuji City still echoed!
Emperor Xiao and Heavenly Emperor, these two who could be called the strongest on the True Spirit Continent, are about to engage in their promised battle.
This battle almost determines the fate of countless Martial Artists on the True Spirit Continent, making it impossible for them not to be anxious.
And after the frequent apparition disturbances, Nangong Xingyu finally appeared!
On this day, the world trembled, night fell, covering the blazing sun, as Star Light surged, the Nine Stars in a Row triggered horrific anomalies, causing Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi to sweep away like a tide.
Nangong Xingyu did not hide or evade the upcoming peak battle with Xiao Ye; it seemed half a year’s time was enough for him to become extraordinary.
His black hair was like a star river, bright and dense, his eyes cold and sharp, like blades, exuding an indestructible will and killing intent, cutting across the eternal sky.
"Xiao Ye, your restraints are useless against this Emperor, I wait for your challenge."
Nangong Xingyu looked distantly toward the direction of Wuji City, uttered a cold voice, and then acted cleanly and decisively.
The Star Battle Body was terrifyingly boundless, with Star Light resembling peerless sword light, directly sweeping through Fengyun Domain, where the three sects rebuilt amid ruins resided.
In this era, the Wuji Sect shone brilliantly, commanding the world, while the three sect forces were branches of the Wuji Sect, each with Elder-level figures of the Wuji Sect presiding over them.
After the dark turmoil’s great reshuffle, these three sects had the strength to vie for first-class forces.
But all were slaughtered by Nangong Xingyu, and the boiling blood light pierced the heavens, lingering long upon the Heavenly Dome, as if representing the will of the Heavenly Emperor, reducing even Half Emperors to ants, shocking the entire Central State, and terrifying many powerful individuals.
Emperor Xiao had once restrained the Heavenly Emperor, forbidding the harm of Central State Martial Artists.
And now, the Heavenly Emperor, upon emerging, directly massacred the Wuji Sect’s three subordinate forces, which was undoubtedly a provocation.
Moreover, after Nangong Xingyu slaughtered these three sects, he didn’t leave, instead sitting meditating in Fengyun Domain, his war intent boiling, as though waiting for the destined showdown to unfold.
The Martial Artists in Fengyun Domain, terrified, all withdrew from this domain, not daring to linger.
Fengyun Domain had become a Forbidden Land.
And shortly afterward, a thrilling piece of news spread from the Three Alliances Domain—Emperor Xiao had also emerged, responding to the Heavenly Emperor’s provocation: Heavenly Emperor, choose your burial ground, in three days, I shall send you there.
This kind of tit-for-tat long-distance exchange was full of gunpowder smell, intensely direct, and highly anticipated.
"I never expected that during my secluded meditation, so much would happen."
In Wuji Mansion, Xiao Ye learned of the events over the past half year, his eyes growing colder.
"Xiao Ye, it’s rumored that the Heavenly Emperor’s power has revived, incomparable to half a year ago."
"Moreover, that apparition probably does relate to the Cang Clan Patriarch, your battle with the Heavenly Emperor might draw him out," Bing Ya said softly, looking at Xiao Ye, concern filled her beautiful eyes.
Before the Heavenly Emperor emerged, she had already made preparations.
To avoid being caught up in the Quasi Emperor battle, to avoid past mistakes, she had relocated Xiao Yang, Luo Meilan, Xiao Nian, and other clan members from Wuji City, secretly settling them elsewhere.
Now, her greatest worry was undoubtedly Xiao Ye and the Heavenly Emperor’s battle.
Because this battle was not as straightforward as it seemed, large changes could very well occur.
"Rest assured, during this half-year of arduous training, I am not the same as before, if the Cang Clan Patriarch intends to make a move against me, unless he’s the Emperor, it won’t be easy either."
"If the Cang Clan Patriarch and Ultimate Palace Main Palace Master both appear because of this battle, that’s precisely what I hope for."
Hearing this, Xiao Ye clasped Bing Ya’s small hand, exuding supreme confidence, every inch of his skin like jade, emitting a hazy glow, pristine and untainted.
Over a half-year controlled by the Heavenly Emperor, Nangong Xingyu made not insignificant progress, so did Xiao Ye?
This time’s peak showdown, aside from fulfilling Nangong Xingyu’s long-cherished wish, he also harbors a resolve to quell everything.
"This..."
Hearing Xiao Ye’s words, Bing Ya blinked, somewhat dazed.
She had also seen in the ancient scrolls of the Iron Blood Emperor Domain the introduction of the Cang Clan Patriarch.
This was undoubtedly a peerless figure, whose strength in the thousands of years of martial arts history of the True Spirit Continent was among the greatest below the Four Emperors of the Human Race, arguably more terrifying than the Five Sealed Emperor Strong People.
So many years had passed, with the opponent reviving in this age using Ancient Evil Technique, only now revealing their trail, and what realm the strength has reached, no one knows!
Did Xiao Ye really possess such great confidence?
Emperor Xiao emerges, shaking the world!
Taiyi Palace Master and many strong individuals friendly to the Wuji Sect arrived one after another.
Regarding the aims of these strong individuals, Xiao Ye naturally understood, but simply responded calmly.
In the blink of an eye, three days passed, the entire Central State atmosphere becoming extremely heated.
Nangong Xingyu remained seated firmly in Fengyun Domain, but surrounding domains were active, with Martial Artists quietly approaching, wishing to observe the battle.
Facing Emperor Xiao’s strong response, the Heavenly Emperor did not make a move, still seated firmly in Fengyun Domain, likely making that place the battlefield.
Wuji City.
Under many intense stares, Xiao Ye soared skyward, heading toward Fengyun Domain.
Among the Martial Artists sending off Xiao Ye, there was a highly conspicuous woman in a green dress, who appeared very sorrowful at this moment.
She was graceful and slender, her long hair draped over her shoulders, her fair and flawless features stunningly beautiful, her skin snow-like, her soulful, beautiful eyes red, shimmering with tears, vivid and beautiful.
"Xiao Ye, since our parting in East State, we haven’t met, and now upon meeting again, you are going to engage in a life-and-death struggle with my brother?"
