Martial Conquest of the Nine Desolates

Chapter 1604 - 1587: The Martial Arts of the Quasi Emperor

"Hahaha, the five Sealed Emperor Strong People are truly the best targets for performing the Hundred Battle Secret Skill. Truly, heaven is helping me!""If I can simulate all of the Sword Emperor’s Martial Arts using the Hundred Battle Secret Skill, I will definitely break through!" Xiao Ye was extremely excited.

Undoubtedly, at this moment, he had already performed the Hundred Battle Secret Skill, and activated the Hundred Battle Eye, spying on the Sword Emperor’s Martial Arts.

It must be said that cultivating the Hundred Battle Eye is indeed very difficult, but once successful, it becomes astonishingly powerful.

His mastery over the Hundred Battle Secret Skill had improved again, and now he could even spy on Martial Arts as complex as the Sword Emperor’s Quasi Emperor Martial Arts.

After a year of closed cultivation, Xiao Ye had digested parts of his five senior brothers’ Martial Arts, the Four Emperor Skills—Emperor Martial Scroll had reached its extreme limit, only one final step was needed.

Meanwhile, speaking of Mysterious Skills beyond Slaughter Principle, both Earth and Wood skills were only one step away from perfection.

One might say that his current strength was at a very subtle critical point.

Perhaps success could come overnight, breaking through the Four Emperor Skills to Half-Emperor Level, possessing Quasi Emperor strength, or perhaps being trapped for decades.

To escape from this plight, he came to challenge the Sword Emperor.

In Xiao Ye’s line of sight, the Sword Emperor appeared as a mass of condensed Tao and Law emitting a suppression far more terrifying than his five senior brothers, vast as the ocean, with countless Martial Arts Runes dancing. Each simulated thread touching his mind brought him inspiration.

These were the Quasi Emperor Martial Arts!

Yet, Divine Chains wrapped around Sword Emperor, preventing him from unleashing his full strength.

However, these Divine Chains had dimmed significantly, as if ready to shatter entirely, allowing Sword Emperor to completely transcend.

The Sword Emperor was a Quasi Emperor level, yet his strength was still restricted. Where else in the world could one find such a perfect target?

Although sparring with the Sword Emperor’s Martial Arts was full of danger, as long as he didn’t suffer a fatal injury, Xiao Ye could fully rely on the Healing Holy Medicine gifted by his five senior brothers to recover.

The Hundred Battle Secret Skill seemed tailor-made for his duel with the Five Sealed Emperor Strong People.

"Five Sealed Emperor Strong People, you wreak havoc upon the world, so I, Xiao Ye, will borrow your Martial Arts for my breakthrough!"

Xiao Ye’s war intent boiled, his eyes shining brilliantly, unleashing all his strength in an active assault on the Sword Emperor.

How terrifying are the effects of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures birthed within the Emperor World?

Plus, with the enhancement of Dominant Body and True Martial Physique, even with injuries to the Half-Emperor Body, there was substantial restorative effect.

In just a few dozen breaths, Xiao Ye’s wounds stabilized, and even the bleeding ceased.

"Xiao Ye, are you giving these Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures to me by bringing them to spar with this Emperor?"

"Then this Emperor will not hold back!" Sword Emperor saw this and greed flashed in his eyes, completely unaware he had turned into Xiao Ye’s teacher, sword qi radiating wildly, suppressing Xiao Ye like a volcanic eruption.

The Sword Emperor was extremely brilliant, his strength terrifying, repeatedly sending Xiao Ye flying, scattering golden blood, but Xiao Ye would quickly retrieve Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures from his Space Ring to heal his wounds, rapidly refining with Dominant Body and True Martial Physique, then charging at Sword Emperor again like possessing an Undying Body.

Puchi!

The seven-colored sword light swept all directions, cutting the void, directly shattering Xiao Ye’s Suppressing Universe Palm, even slicing off half of Xiao Ye’s hand, blood staining his whole body.

Hiss hiss hiss!

Several kinds of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures were refined, leading to an expansive, pure life energy like the raging Yangtze River, wrapping around Xiao Ye’s body, allowing his half-hand to grow back within less than half the time of a burned incense stick.

"Has Master Xiao Ye gone mad?"

"What is he trying to do? Clearly no match for the Sword Emperor, yet he continues to spar?"

...

Now, not only the Five Sealed Emperor Strong People, but even Pei Jiang and Sword Emperor were dumbfounded watching the battle.

They knew Xiao Ye’s body had many Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, but using them so recklessly to spar with Sword Emperor was truly wasteful and completely uneconomical.

Moreover, Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures would eventually run out; what would be used to contend with the Sword Emperor then?

As everyone was in shock, Sword Emperor felt utmost frustration.

He was a dignified Quasi Emperor, although limited, he was not someone an Extreme Half-Emperor could match lightly, using some time he could completely annihilate an Extreme Half-Emperor.

However, Xiao Ye leveraged those Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures to bridge the gap in strength, avoiding lethal injuries each time, leaving him helpless.

The most nerve-wracking to Sword Emperor was the near endless supply of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures Xiao Ye seemed to possess, not running out even after these four hours.

This was entirely a war of attrition, neither side besting the other.

"Xiao Ye, do you dare not use those Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures?" Sword Emperor struck Xiao Ye with his sword again, his patience exhausted, murmuring angrily.

"No choice."

"Sword Emperor senior, your strength is too overwhelming. Without using Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, I would have been killed long ago."

"To be able to spar with you, I have no other option." Xiao Ye displayed an innocent expression, his eyes gleaming fiercely, continuing the Hundred Battle Secret Skill, simulating the Sword Emperor’s Martial Arts.

"It’s that feeling again!"

Sword Emperor’s body trembled, his face darkened.

From battling Xiao Ye until now, the feeling of being spied upon had never disappeared.

"This kid has something strange about him!"

"His Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures should still be plentiful, if this Emperor wanted to kill him, either exhaust his Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures or pay a heavy price to boost strength."

Sword Emperor’s gaze swept over the Thought Avatars of the Four Great Sealed Emperor Strongmen not far away, full of guard.

Though interested in Xiao Ye’s Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, the Five Sealed Emperor Strong People were not friendly, and if given the chance, none would refuse to kick a man when he’s down.

"Xiao Ye, this Emperor does not wish to waste time with you, this sparring session is now over." Sword Emperor withdrew his gaze, snorted coldly, and then directly vanished from the spot.

Sword Emperor... actually left?

At this moment, everyone was stunned, especially the Martial Artist from Sword Emperor Divine Dynasty looking incredulous.

Sword Emperor had the upper hand, why leave?

"Truly unfortunate, Sword Emperor must have realized something and that’s why he left."

Xiao Ye felt the simulation of portions of Sword Emperor’s Martial Arts in his mind using the Hundred Battle Secret Skill, his heart stirring with excitement.

In the next moment, his deep gaze turned towards the Thought Avatars of the other Four Great Sealed Emperor Strongmen.

"Four of you, I, Xiao Ye, challenge you."

"Does anyone dare to accept the challenge?"

Xiao Ye’s body was covered in blood, yet his spirit remained strong, speaking out loud.

Once those words emerged, the whole world fell into deathly silence, everyone’s expression was dazed.
