Martial Conquest of the Nine Desolates-Chapter 204 - 202: Falling into Crisis

The golden-robed youth’s dense black hair danced, his eyes like lightning in the night, incredibly intimidating, with an invincible confidence about him.

Xiao Ye was solemn in mind and spirit, fully aware that only a true Young Supreme could possess such invincible confidence.

"I am Gongsun Bo, the foremost Young Supreme of the East Nether Country! May I ask which country’s Young Supreme are you?" the golden-robed youth asked with a bow.

From Xiao Ye’s ability to block his strike, he could tell that Xiao Ye definitely possessed the strength of a First-class Innate Limit.

In the Empress’s Hard Cultivation Land, besides guarding against ferocious beasts, one must be wary of human Martial Artists as well.

"I am Xiao Ye from the Black Dragon Country," Xiao Ye responded, bowing.

"Are you the Xiao Ye who cultivated the Empress Technique and has formed a cause and effect with the Empress?" Gongsun Bo’s eyes shimmered with a sharp gleam, finally landing on the package behind Xiao Ye.

"Hmph, treating me like a fat sheep again?" Xiao Ye’s face turned cold, and he tightened his grip on the Flame Saber.

"I’ve heard that the cultivation technique created by the Empress is unparalleled. I’ve long admired it, and today, I shall experience it for myself," said Gongsun Bo, his War Intent growing more intense, almost bursting through the Nine Heavens.

"If you want to fight, then fight; quit the nonsense!" Xiao Ye said coldly.

Gongsun Bo was briefly startled, then nodded, raising the long saber in his hand high.

Clearly, the weapon in Gongsun Bo’s hands was also a Xuan Artifact.

Boom!

From Gongsun Bo erupted a Martial Arts True Intent that reached ninety percent, filled with an unstoppable sharpness.

Suddenly, the void trembled violently, a massive, hundreds of yards long Sword Light tore through the sky. The intense light slashed a terrifying fissure in the void, illustrating its sharpness.

"Heaven Burning Slash!"

"Four Tripod Heavenly Technique!"

Xiao Ye’s eyes focused, he unleashed all his strength. Seventy percent of the Flame True Intent poured into the Flame Saber, and with a swing of his hand, he sent out a Flame Blade Light, blocking the collision with Gongsun Bo’s Sword Light.

Of course, infusing seventy percent of the Flame True Intent was still not enough to block Gongsun Bo’s strike.

Above Xiao Ye’s head, four Giant Cauldrons appeared while his other hand powered the Fighting Fist Technique, pressing forward to suppress.

Rumble!

The arena burst with earth-shattering noise as the two silhouettes clashed fiercely, powerful fluctuations of battle swept around, uprooting many ancient trees.

Both were Young Supremes known for their saber skills. If Xiao Ye’s Heaven Burning Slash was filled with intense heat, then Gongsun Bo’s Blade Light was sharp enough to cut through anything.

From afar, massive Blade Lights continuously collided, stirring up a fierce wind.

"It seems that other Young Supremes from the Yulan Domain’s nations are not to be underestimated, this person’s strength is definitely not inferior to Long Chen!" Xiao Ye thought to himself, sensing a crisis.

He could contend against one Gongsun Bo, but what if a few more Young Supremes with similar strength appeared? No one knew if there were any more powerful Young Supremes than Long Chen in the Empress’s Hard Cultivation Land.

"Ah!"

The battle reached an intense climax, Xiao Ye’s eyes glinting coldly, fierce like the edge of a blade.

He shouted loudly, his Four Cauldron Level Physical Body Power and Innate True Qi erupted together, clashing with Gongsun Bo with the Flame Saber in hand.

Clang!

The two Xuan Artifacts collided head-on!

Xiao Ye and Gongsun Bo’s eyes were filled with War Intent.

A boundless burst of light erupted, deafening noises constantly rang out, and the terrifying impact force created visible currents ripping through the air, damaging the earth and toppling many ancient trees.

Swish!

Swish!

Xiao Ye and Gongsun Bo were both sent flying backward, then they awkwardly stopped and faced each other.

"This Xiao Ye is really strong. His Innate True Qi is not perfect, and his Martial Arts True Intent Realm is not as high as mine, but his strength is just as formidable, and his physical defensive power is even frighteningly strong!"

"Even if the fight continued, I might still lose. His potential far exceeds mine!"

Gongsun Bo trembled internally, feeling a bit defeated. His current state of mind was the same as Long Chen.

"This man can only be a friend, not a foe, not someone to provoke." The next moment, Gongsun Bo’s expression became resolute.

"Haha, Brother Xiao’s strength is indeed extraordinary, I admire you," Gongsun Bo sheathed his Xuan Artifact and bowed to Xiao Ye.

Xiao Ye looked surprised. Gongsun Bo was giving up just like that?

But as the saying goes, do not strike a smiling face, Xiao Ye was not someone unaware of courtesies. He returned the bow: "Brother Gongsun is too kind."

"Brother Xiao, rest assured, I only sought a sparring, not coveting your treasures, and I don’t have the strength to defeat you," Gongsun Bo said as he walked toward Xiao Ye.

Xiao Ye smiled slightly; Gongsun Bo was quite honest.

"Brother Xiao, you have formed a cause and effect with the Empress, perhaps you have already ascended to the Fourth Layer Heaven?" Gongsun Bo asked gravely.

The reason they were attracted to the Empress’s Hard Cultivation Land was not only for the endless treasures but most importantly for the Empress Inheritance.

"Brother Gongsun, if I had received the Empress Inheritance, do you think I would still be standing here? I would have found a place to hide long ago," Xiao Ye said with a wry smile.

Gongsun Bo nodded: "True, if it were me, after receiving the Empress Inheritance, I definitely would have hidden as well."

"Actually, when many Young Supremes from the Twelve Countries of the Yulan Domain first ascended to the Third Layer Heaven, they joined forces to challenge the Fourth Layer Heaven, but all attempts failed."

"Is it really that difficult to get through the Fourth Layer Heaven?" Xiao Ye asked curiously.

He didn’t know much about the Fourth Layer Heaven, only that one needs the strength of a Superior Innate Limit to possibly break through.

"Ah, let’s not talk about it," Gongsun Bo waved his hand, "Brother Xiao, you haven’t been to Wind Canyon, have you?"

"Wind Canyon? What place is that?" Xiao Ye asked curiously.

Gongsun Bo looked exasperated: "Brother Xiao, didn’t the elders of your sect tell you before you entered the Emperor’s Cultivation Land that it is the place where the Bodhi Leaves are nurtured?"

"Bodhi Leaves!" Xiao Ye’s body trembled, his face filled with excitement.

Obtaining a few Bodhi Leaves would bring the day he could challenge the Mystic Martial nearer.

"Brother Gongsun, I am an Independent Practitioner, that’s why I don’t know where Wind Canyon is, please take me there!" Xiao Ye hurriedly said.

"Independent Practitioner!" Gongsun Bo’s eyes widened, once again taken aback.

"Brother Xiao, because of the Empress’ Cause and Effect, you are now the common enemy of many Young Supremes, are you sure you want to go?" Gongsun Bo asked.

Xiao Ye’s eyes flickered, then he nodded, he had to obtain the Bodhi Leaves, hiding was not his style.

"Alright, I’ll take you." Gongsun Bo sighed helplessly, then led Xiao Ye into the dense forest.

The two talked as they walked.

Gongsun Bo was very knowledgeable and knew far more about the Emperor’s Hard Cultivation Land than the average person.

"Brother Xiao, generally speaking, in the year spent in the Emperor’s Hard Cultivation Land, the first eleven months are spent searching for treasures, and in the last month, it is the time for the Young Supremes from the Thirteen Countries of the Yulan Domain to fight and snatch treasures from each other, known as the Supreme Struggle," Gongsun Bo explained.

Xiao Ye suddenly understood.

It was normal, in eleven months the Young Supremes could find many treasures, and one could just kill them to snatch those treasures.

Such speed far surpasses searching by oneself, it’s like reaping where one has not sown.

About a day later, a very vast canyon appeared in their sight.

Boom boom boom!

Intense battle sounds erupted from the canyon, shaking the surrounding mountains and forests, trees swaying incessantly, and the ground trembling.

"Such battle fluctuations, those are at least from a Second Class Innate Limit expert!" Xiao Ye listened carefully, his expression growing solemn.

"Brother Xiao, the Bodhi Leaves are formed from the essence of the Bodhi Tree, if a martial artist tries to pick Bodhi Leaves, they will be attacked by the Bodhi Tree, you must be careful," Gongsun Bo turned back to instruct.

Xiao Ye nodded, and the two entered into the mouth of the canyon.

In the center of the canyon, more than a dozen figures were attacking a giant tree.

The tree’s crown almost pierced the clouds, its branches as thick as water buckets wildly dancing in the air, tracing bizarre trajectories as they fought with those dozen young martial artists.

Additionally, there were dozens of Young Supremes not engaging in the battle, standing in separate camps.

They were watching coldly, figures like Long Chen, He Wudao, Xue Zhan notably among them.

"Is this the Bodhi Tree?" Xiao Ye’s face filled with shock.

This Bodhi Tree looked like a ferocious beast, just thinking about the countless branches could make one’s scalp tingle.

The techniques of the Supreme Empress were terrifying, having left behind such a peculiar tree.

Bang!

Just then, a slightly weaker youth was struck by a branch, screamed out loud, and smashed into the ground like a meteor.

Then, he was enveloped by a ball of white light, teleporting back to the starting point.

The treasures that fell from his body caused a frenzied scramble.

Suddenly, a youth, surrounded by a powerful aura, took the chance to soar out, stepping on the attacking branches as he moved forward, grabbed a purple leaf and then darted out like lightning.

"Haha, I got the Bodhi Leaf!" The youth who succeeded threw back his head and laughed, attracting many greedy gazes.

The youth’s laughter abruptly stopped, his expression turned solemn and he quickly rushed toward the canyon’s exit.

"Hmph, leave the Bodhi Leaf behind!"

One after another, young martial artists soared out, prompting others to look as well.

"Xiao Ye!" In the canyon, He Wudao’s gaze sharpened when he saw Xiao Ye at the edge of the canyon, then a cold smile formed on his face.

"Haha! Our Black Dragon Country’s number one Young Supreme, Xiao Ye, has arrived. He’s tied by fate to the Empress. All treasures and inheritances are his, you fools might as well stop trying!"

He Wudao laughed loudly, his voice amplified by True Qi, instantly spreading throughout the canyon.

Shua!

Shua!

Suddenly, the valley quieted down, a slew of sharp, knife-like gazes piercing through the void, all converging towards Xiao Ye and Gongsun Bo, with ill intent.

"He Wudao!" Xiao Ye’s eyes emitted a sharp light, his fists clenched with audible cracks, rage burning in his heart.

Dah!

Dah!

One by one, the Young Supremes walked towards Xiao Ye.
