Martial Conquest of the Nine Desolates

The war chariot was filled with an ancient aura, as if it had traversed the long river of time, resembling a Great Emperor inspecting the four directions, crushing the heavenly dome. The rumbling sound spread like a thunderstorm across heaven and earth.

A towering figure atop the chariot was enveloped by countless anomalies, possessing an invincible power. As his eyes opened and closed, they emitted piercingly sharp, substantial rays, landing on Xiao Ye and making him tremble with fear, his body feeling cold, as if a longsword was hanging over his head, ready to strike at any moment.

At this moment, the entire Sky Sword City plunged into a deathly silence. The martial artists from Wuji Sect trembled in fear, panic spreading through their bodies, unable to maintain composure.

Nangong Xingyu and Prince Donghuang wore expressions of utter despair.

Now, as the Ultimate Palace was on the move, about to awaken, leaders and domain lords from various sects remained at their posts, preventing the Ultimate Palace from taking advantage of the situation.

And right now, not only had the Iron Blood Domain Master himself come, but two half-step Emperors were dispatched as well, determined to annihilate Wuji Sect.

Conversely, Wuji Sect, besides a considerable number of titled Emperor Martials, only had Xiao Ye’s half-step Emperor’s body for half-step Emperor level battle power, aside from the Heavenly Elder.

However, Wuji Sect’s two half-step Emperor battle powers had significant flaws, unable to employ their top-tier battle power. How could they stand against three half-step Emperors?

"Hmph, Xiao Ye, do you still think you have a chance to escape today?"

"I, the Domain Master, have long known that Wuji Sect and Taiyi Palace have formed an alliance. Therefore, before I arrived, I already dispatched another half-step Emperor to intercept the Taiyi Palace Master. Even if he cannot be killed, it will hold him back from helping."

"Additionally, I sent a message stating that any sect forces in Central State daring to aid Wuji Sect will be mortal enemies of our Iron Blood Emperor Domain."

"So, you are certainly doomed today. Surrender the Emperor’s son."

The war chariot crushed the heavenly dome, hovering directly above Wuji Mansion. The Iron Blood Domain Master sat atop, seemingly a divine figure, looking down at Xiao Ye, his voice filled with endless killing intent.

It was this young man, who not only severely damaged the vitality of the Iron Blood Emperor Domain, but led to the death and injury of many titled Emperor Martials, including the fall of a half-step Emperor.

Finally, he captured the Iron Blood Emperor’s son, crippling his cultivation, and rumors spread throughout Fengyun Domain that Infinite Sect was the martial artist prison of the Iron Blood Emperor Domain, severely tarnishing its reputation, pointing also towards Xiao Ye’s involvement.

This already greatly violated the bottom line of the Iron Blood Domain Master.

If Xiao Ye isn’t killed, how will he maintain his footing in Central State?

No matter the cost, Xiao Ye must be erased today!

"What?"

"Even the Taiyi Palace Master was intercepted?"

"Heavens, how many half-step Emperors does the Iron Blood Emperor Domain possess?"

"No wonder Taiyi Palace has remained silent until now."

...

The Iron Blood Domain Master’s voice echoed, causing the martial artists from Wuji Sect to change their expressions drastically, their minds in chaos.

With half-step Emperor forces from Iron Blood Emperor Domain at their doorstep, they had pinned their hopes on the Taiyi Palace Master for assistance, not anticipating such strategic moves from the Iron Blood Domain Master.

"Xiao Ye... it seems my day of falling has come sooner than expected..."

"I fear this time, I cannot protect Wuji Sect, but I will try my utmost to at least take a half-step Emperor down with me. Find your chance to escape." The Heavenly Elder communicated to Xiao Ye.

Boom!

Upon finishing, blood Qi surged and burned throughout his body, bursting into endless divine light enveloping him entirely, pushing his battle power to the peak of his existence, dazzling like a meteor, moving as if teleporting, raising his palm towards a half-step Emperor clad in yellow robe.

"Hmph, the Netherworld King is inconsequential, Domain Master, you needn’t act. Today I shall slay this half-step Emperor of Wuji Sect!"

The yellow-robed elder sneered, unleashing rolling mysterious aura from his person, drawing upon the power of heaven and earth. Without engaging combat techniques, each casual move carried immense power in battle against the Heavenly Elder.

"Heavenly Elder!"

Xiao Ye’s heart ached and was filled with guilt.

If this battle erupts, the Heavenly Elder is likely truly to fall, and it was all caused by him.

"Alas, I was barely rescued from Sky Prison by you, and so soon, my old life has to end. If I could choose again, no matter what, I wouldn’t follow you here."

"But nevertheless, to engage with a half-step Emperor before dying isn’t a wasted life." Pei Jiang sighed self-mockingly then ascended, charging at the Iron Blood Domain Master.

"Hahaha, Senior Pei Jiang is truly carefree; I shall accompany you in battling the Iron Blood Domain Master!" Nameless Dominator Body erupted, golden blood Qi surged to heaven, shoulder to shoulder with Pei Jiang as they charged towards the Iron Blood Domain Master.

"Damn it!"

"Brother Nangong, Prince Donghuang, I will cover you. Ensure my parents, brother, three village chiefs, and Yaya are safely moved!"

"This is my last request, Xiao Ye!"

"Everyone else, fight with me!"

Xiao Ye went berserk, black hair wildly tumbling, a majestic Emperor’s Martial Intent akin to the Yangtze River directly injected into the half-step Emperor’s body, wielding the Nine Dragon Holy Method, charging towards a red-robed half-step Emperor.

Roar!

Though Little White was injured, feeling Xiao Ye’s intense emotional fluctuations, it roared skyward, joining Xiao Ye in attacking the red-robed half-step Emperor.

"Ye’er!"

"Brother!"

Xiao Yang, Luo Meilan, Xiao Fan, and the three village chiefs cried out in sorrow.

Xiao Ye’s words still resounded in their ears, shaking their souls profoundly.

That was likely the final testament of Xiao Ye’s life.

The half-step Emperor realm was beyond their reach or comprehension, but they knew there was a real possibility their son might fall.

"Uncle, Aunt, three village chiefs, come with me!" Nangong Xingyu and Prince Donghuang gritted their teeth, rushing to the side of Xiao Ye’s relatives.

"No, I want to fight alongside my brother..." Xiao Fan promptly said.

Luo Meilan and Xiao Yang were unwilling to leave.

Clatter!

Suddenly, an intensely cold chill swept over, directly freezing their bodies, leaving their eyes wide open but unable to move.

"Father, Mother, three village chiefs, I apologize."

"I wish to fight alongside Xiao Ye; even if it means death, I am willing." Bing Ya emerged, still pale but resolutely determined.

With that, she rushed into the heavenly dome, pursuing Xiao Ye.

"Go!"

Nangong Xingyu and Prince Donghuang knew the situation was critical, unleashing a thick Emperor Martial Power, maneuvering Xiao Ye’s relatives away from Wuji Mansion.
