Martial Conquest of the Nine Desolates-Chapter 207 - 205 Young Emperor

(I’m really sorry for the late third update, Xiao Bei has been busy running around during the day recently, and the updates will come earlier once things settle down, I apologize again.)

The Second Layer Heaven mountain range stretched endlessly, surrounded by peaks, filled with the cries of apes and roars of tigers, and ferocious beasts running rampant; a resounding roar echoed throughout.

Xiao Ye stood atop a barren hill, holding his breath, his gaze firmly fixed on the distant Red Dust Flower.

At this moment, the Red Dust Flower had three leaves unfurled, gently swaying with the breeze, its black, white, and gray petals looking extremely peculiar.

"Oh heavens, let me catch the Red Dust Flower," Xiao Ye prayed inwardly, then took out a poison gas bomb from his bag, his palms sweating with tension.

There was only one poison gas bomb, and its effectiveness was uncertain. If this attempt failed, with his speed, capturing the Red Dust Flower would be nearly impossible.

This was crucial for him to obtain the Empress’ inheritance.

Whoosh!

Xiao Ye did not notice that a hazy light suddenly emerged, condensing into a young man with an illusory figure, who was as handsome as a jade sculpture.

He was the Empress’ Follower Zero.

"Does this youngster really have a way to capture the Red Dust Flower?" Zero’s gaze was gentle, and a smile emerged at the corner of his mouth.

Ever since Xiao Ye had entered the Emperor’s Hard Cultivation Land, Zero had been paying close attention to his movements.

"Here goes nothing!"

Xiao Ye stepped forward, tossing the poison gas bomb in his hand towards the Red Dust Flower.

Swish!

Feeling the sound of the bomb cutting through the air, the Red Dust Flower quickly closed its three leaves before the poison gas bomb could arrive, already uprooting itself, ready to flee.

"Damn it!" Xiao Ye cursed out loud.

Even if the poison gas bomb worked on the Red Dust Flower, it still had to hit the target.

"Alas, it hasn’t been easy to find an Empress Technique Cultivator, and although his talent is average, I’ll help him this time. I believe the Empress won’t blame me," Zero sighed softly and reached out towards the Red Dust Flower from afar.

Buzz!

Instantly, an invisible strange force froze the fleeing Red Dust Flower in midair.

Hiss!

The Red Dust Flower actually emitted a hissing sound, like the sound of humans in panic.

Bang!

The poison gas bomb that followed immediately hit the Red Dust Flower; a thick black mist erupted and enveloped the Red Dust Flower completely.

Hiss! Hiss!

The Red Dust Flower hissed even more intensely, its three leaves shaking violently, and then it fell to the ground.

"Did it work? What just happened?" Xiao Ye was startled.

He clearly saw the Red Dust Flower being restrained before the poison gas bomb even hit.

Xiao Ye scrutinized his surroundings but found nothing, his face filled with confusion.

"Could it be that my luck is so good that even the heavens are helping me?"

Xiao Ye grinned, quickly grabbing the immobilized Red Dust Flower.

"Ha ha, I finally got the Red Dust Flower!" Xiao Ye’s face lit up with excitement; with the Red Dust Flower in hand, there was hope for his Innate True Qi to reach perfection.

"Just right, there are no Young Supremes in the Second Layer Heaven, I can safely consume the Red Dust Flower." Holding the Red Dust Flower, Xiao Ye quickly descended the barren hill.

"He he... This kid managed to get such a thing, capable of releasing poison gas to restrain the Red Dust Flower," Zero stood on the barren hill and muttered to himself.

"Without the Emperor’s Stature, yet able to cultivate the Four Tripod Heavenly Technique to this level, can he break the iron laws of the True Spirit Continent and step into the Great Emperor Domain? I’m really looking forward to it," Zero murmured.

...

Xiao Ye arrived in a cave and sealed the entrance with a huge rock.

"Only these three leaves of the Red Dust Flower are useful."

Xiao Ye recalled the information passed on by Zero carefully until he was sure it was correct, then he started, picking off the three leaves of the Red Dust Flower.

"Grind the three leaves to extract their juices and mix them together for consumption," Xiao Ye muttered to himself; Innate True Qi surged to his palms, and he slowly began to grind.

Hiss-hiss-hiss!

Three different colored juices flowed out from the leaves, which Xiao Ye wrapped with his Innate True Qi and then ingested.

"It has to work!" Xiao Ye muttered, focused and waiting for the effects of the Red Dust Flower’s juice.

Boom!

Almost instantly, a surge of heat rolled back up, like a heavy hammer, smashing hard on top of Xiao Ye’s head.

"Crap!" Xiao Ye’s head buzzed, his vision was filled with stars, and his consciousness plunged into boundless darkness.

"Where am I?" When Xiao Ye opened his eyes again, he looked around and found that he was still in the cave.

"Huh? Someone’s here!" Suddenly, Xiao Ye’s gaze sharpened, and he was horrified.

He saw a youth with long black hair scattered in front of him, sitting crossed-legged with his eyes tightly closed.

"Isn’t this me? How can there be two of me?" When Xiao Ye saw the youth’s face clearly, he was shocked, hairs standing on end.

Xiao Ye hurriedly looked down and saw his own body was ethereal, like a wisp of smoke.

"Is this an out-of-body experience?" Xiao Ye was stunned, recalling the strange and extraordinary stories told by the elders back in Xiao Family Village, out-of-body experience being one of them.

Boom boom boom!

At this moment, Xiao Ye discovered that his physical body was actually circulating Innate True Qi on its own, and as if released from the suppression of Heaven and Earth, it was rapidly improving, quickly reaching Innate Perfection.

"So quickly to Innate Perfection!" Xiao Ye was thrilled.

The Red Dust Flower made his soul leave his body, and yet his cultivation level actually broke through on its own, which was simply magical.

Boom!

Suddenly, a strange force began to pull him upwards, his ethereal body passed through the mountain walls, flying towards the sky above the Second Layer Heaven.

"Holy shit!" Xiao Ye was extremely terrified, thinking if his soul couldn’t return to his body, wouldn’t he become a wandering ghost?

But no matter how he struggled, he couldn’t escape this state.

"Since Zero said the Red Dust Flower would work on me, he definitely wouldn’t harm me." Xiao Ye gave up struggling.

Then, without going through the Heavenly Ladder, he crossed the boundary and arrived at the Third Layer Heaven, which was like an original forest, and kept drifting upwards.

"This..." Xiao Ye was shocked to his core.

Right now, he felt like an outsider, observing everything happening in the Empress’ Hard Cultivation Land.

Xiao Ye looked intently ahead and saw three young martial artists fighting to snatch a defensive-type Xuan Artifact, and further ahead, he saw Wind Canyon.

Right now in Wind Canyon, the intense fluctuations of battle were earth-shattering; over twenty Young Supremes were making their moves, vying for the Bodhi Leaf.

"Hmm? That’s Qin Mu!" Xiao Ye’s gaze sharpened as he saw Qin Mu leaning against a large rock, resting with his eyes closed, appearing lazy and not snatching any treasure.

"Hmph, Xiao Ye, I’ve blocked the Third Layer Heaven, I’d like to see how you get the Empress’ inheritance." Qin Mu was muttering to himself with a blade of grass in his mouth.

"So you’re really harboring this thought." Xiao Ye heard everything clearly and couldn’t help but sneer.

Gradually, everything in the Third Layer Heaven became smaller and smaller as he flew towards the Fourth Layer Heaven.

"The Fourth Layer Heaven, where the Empress left her inheritance!" Xiao Ye’s heart raced; could he now see the entire view of the Fourth Layer Heaven?

However, he was quickly disappointed. His body did not drift into the Fourth Layer Heaven, but directly out of the Empress’ Hard Cultivation Land, climbing through howling winds towards heaven, continuing to drift upwards.

"Damn it, where am I drifting to!" Xiao Ye wanted to cry.

That attracting force grew stronger and stronger, Xiao Ye soared like a Roc into a strange space.

Here, the air was filled with a cold aura, and there were stars twinkling around, with their dim light supporting a land of brightness.

"Where is this place?" Xiao Ye looked at those stars.

Boom!

Just then, a young man with a vigorous and vivacious presence appeared from the boundless void, about thirteen years old. His eyes were as bright as stars, and his body surged with perfect Innate True Qi, but there was an extremely terrifying aura about him.

"Innate Limit Cultivation!" Xiao Ye was dumbstruck.

Can Innate Limit have such a powerful aura? Compared to Qin Mu, who is known as the top young man of the Yulan Domain, this young man is way stronger!

And this young man, he looks to be just around thirteen!

Innate Limit at thirteen, this is beyond monstrous!

Boom!

The void trembled again, and another young man appeared.

He wore a blood-red armor and looked to be around thirteen as well, his eyes were like two blood moons, his expression ice-cold, his black hair danced wildly behind him, his aura was no weaker than the first young man’s.

Xiao Ye’s eyes nearly popped out.

Such a blow!

A deep, deep blow!

When he was thirteen, he was still practicing Fierce Tiger Fist in Xiao Family Village, in the Body Refining Stage, not even stepping through the doors of Martial Arts.

Boom!

The void trembled once more, and the third young man appeared, stepping proudly in the void, his youthful and naive face full of unmatched confidence.

This young man was too astonishing; he seemed to have trampled the whole world underfoot, reigning supreme above all people, defeating all invincible foes.

When Xiao Ye saw the young man’s face, he twitched at the corner of his mouth.

Because this young man seemed to be only about eleven years old!

"Damn it, what the hell is this place, who are these kids?" Xiao Ye was almost driven mad, deeply feeling the disparity.

All the confidence he had built since he embarked on his journey was crushed to dust.

Boom!

At that moment, a silhouette enveloped in mist appeared; it was a young girl, about thirteen years old, her youth still apparent, but already showing extraordinary beauty, stunning to the extreme.

The moment Xiao Ye saw this young girl, a sense of kinship and familiarity surged in his heart, as if he had seen the Supreme Empress herself.

"Could this be the Supreme Empress in her youth! And those three young men, they must all be Young Emperors!" Xiao Ye exclaimed, astounded to the utmost.

"The Unrivaled Emperor’s unrivaled bearing, Iron Blood Emperor’s iron-blooded coldness, Undefeated Emperor’s aura of invincibility..." Xiao Ye looked over at the other three young men, becoming more certain of his guesses.

Indeed, only the Four Emperors of the Human Clan could have such terrifying talents!

The Four Emperors of the Human Clan, unrivaled in an era, now appeared as young men.

Looking at their cultivation, they were all at Innate Limit, but their aura far surpassed that of First-class Innate Limit martial artists.

"Is this...the Great Emperor Domain?" Xiao Ye murmured. novelbuddy-cσ๓
