Chapter 885: Chapter 870: Monster Showdown
The Taiyi Palace Master looked at Xiao Ye with eyes full of expectation.
As the master of the Holy Palace, he naturally knew of Xiao Ye’s performance over this period, so he was very eager to see what level Xiao Ye’s power had reached after two months of bitter cultivation.
However, Wu Xiu, the middle-aged Martial Artist of the Invincible Emperor Domain, was wide-eyed and speechless.
Could the Taiyi Palace Master truly believe that Xiao Ye could match the battle-crazed, monstrously powerful Yan Nantian?
Although he had heard quite a bit about Xiao Ye’s feats in the Invincible Emperor Domain, he never thought that Xiao Ye could reach Yan Nantian’s level!
Xiao Ye was slightly stunned upon hearing this, then he nodded in acknowledgment.
From the Taiyi Palace Master, he learned that many disciples had once passed the Emperor Domain selection and entered the Invincible Emperor Domain, but they were heavily ostracized as outsiders.
Additionally, their strength truly could not compare to the disciples of the Invincible Emperor Domain, leading to much gossip.
If he were in their place, the gossip would surely be even greater.
Because he was an exception, chosen by the Invincible Emperor Domain!
The Invincible Emperor Domain hadn’t revealed the manifestation of the Undefeated Emperor in him, so the disciples within the domain would surely be displeased with him.
What he needed to do now was to use his strength to shut the mouths of those in the Invincible Emperor Domain!
He, Xiao Ye, was entirely qualified to enter the Invincible Emperor Domain!
In these two months of cultivation, Xiao Ye’s power had undergone an earth-shattering transformation, becoming incomparable to two months ago. Facing an opponent like Yan Nantian was indeed a good opportunity.
“It seems there is no one among the peers here suitable to be my opponent. How boring, I thought there would be something interesting.” At this moment, Yan Nantian glanced at the devilish disciples of the Holy Palace who glared at him, shook his head in disappointment, and prepared to leave.
A genius like him naturally selected opponents among his peers or those who had not long attained the Emperor Martial Realm.
To duel old monsters who had cultivated for decades or centuries would be to seek abuse; it’s foolish behavior.
Meanwhile, in Yan Nantian’s eyes, only the opponent mattered, completely ignoring the Elders and Palace Master of the Taiyi Holy Palace.
Upon hearing Yan Nantian’s words, the disciples of Taiyi Holy Palace gnashed their teeth with anger, wishing they could kick Yan Nantian to death.
Being confronted at their doorstep and mocked for being unworthy opponents was such an insult!
Yet they understood that even the Red Robed Gentleman was defeated by Yan Nantian in one move, so throughout Taiyi Holy Palace, perhaps only Xiao Ye could contend with Yan Nantian.
Boom!
At that moment, a mighty and unparalleled King Martial prestige suddenly swept across the sky, drawing Yan Nantian’s attention.
Only to see Xiao Ye stepping out into the air, with each step causing the void to shake violently, fierce winds swirling around his body.
“Since Brother Yan has pursued us to Taiyi Holy Palace, our palace will naturally not let you down.”
“I, Xiao Ye, shall duel with you as Xiao Ye.”
In Xiao Ye’s dark pupils, a brilliant light flashed, his robes fluttering in the wind, invincible war intent rising to the sky, shaking the heavenly dome.
Seeing Xiao Ye walking out into the air, the disciples of Taiyi Holy Palace were instantly excited.
“Hmm?”
“You’re not bad.”
“In my path to becoming the Great Emperor of this era, sweeping across all peers, you are one of the few worthy opponents, but your cultivation is still a bit weak, at just the King Martial Level 8 Late Stage, slightly lower than mine.”
Yan Nantian’s eyes suddenly brightened, an unusual light flashing in his pupils.
From Xiao Ye’s explosive aura, he could see Xiao Ye was no ordinary person.
Xiao Ye was rendered speechless.
This guy is too narcissistic; his goal is to sweep across his peers and become the Human Clan’s fifth Great Emperor.
And he says my cultivation is too low?
Your cultivation doesn’t seem all that high either, does it?
“A Martial Artist’s strength isn’t only judged by the level of cultivation.”
“Brother Yan, your cultivation is only at the Early Stage King Martial Ninth Level, yet you can exert the combat power of the Emperor Martial Realm; why can’t I, Xiao Ye?”
“On our True Spirit Continent, strength determines superiority, not the level of cultivation.” Facing Yan Nantian’s questioning, Xiao Ye calmly responded.
Upon hearing this, Yan Nantian grinned broadly: “You’re interesting, even more arrogant than me. Then I’ll play with you a bit.”
Swoosh!
Before Yan Nantian’s words had finished, he vanished from the spot, drawing a burst of exclamations from the crowd.
Yan Nantian, that guy, attacked without even a heads-up.
At the same time, Xiao Ye sensed gusts of wind breaking behind his head.
Swoosh!
Xiao Ye’s body exuded the mighty King Martial power of the Wind Attribute, using the technique Overriding Eight Desolates, leaving behind multiple afterimages on the spot as Yan Nantian’s palm slashed through, breaking all afterimages.
During two months of bitter cultivation, Xiao Ye had cultivated Overriding Eight Desolates to the Perfect Realm, combined with the King Martial power of the Wind Attribute, maximizing his speed with additional amplification. The technique was wonderfully executed, like a passing breeze.
“To be able to dodge my strike, you’re indeed formidable. You’ve started to make me excited,” Yan Nantian exclaimed, his eyes full of fervor.
“Hehe… An eye for an eye!”
Xiao Ye coldly smiled, disappearing from the spot right after speaking, using Overriding Eight Desolates to approach Yan Nantian’s side. Purple light surged from his body, and his fists, seemingly capable of shattering the Nine Heavens, directly smashed toward Yan Nantian’s head.
Perfect Realm Sky Breaking Fist!
Boom!
As Xiao Ye’s Sky Breaking Fist smashed down, he immediately felt two palms meeting him with astonishing speed. Two incredibly domineering and terrifying forces fiercely collided, making heaven and earth tremble, with deafening explosions ceaselessly echoing.
Both Xiao Ye and Yan Nantian quickly retreated.
“So… so powerful!”
Witnessing the two young figures in mid-air, the disciples of Taiyi Holy Palace were all astounded.
The most shocked, undoubtedly, was Wu Xiu, the middle-aged Martial Artist from the Invincible Emperor Domain, whose eyes seemed about to pop out.
“Xiao… Xiao Ye, actually this strong!”
Having dueled with Yan Nantian before, he knew the other’s combat ability and movement speed were simply beyond what a King Martial Realm Martial Artist should possess. Just these two points were enough to dominate the King Martial Realm.
And Xiao Ye was not inferior to Yan Nantian in these two aspects!
