Martial Conquest of the Nine Desolates-Chapter 250 - 248: Climbing for Three Years

The days spent in cultivation always passed swiftly.

In the first palace, Xiao Ye sat solemnly in a cross-legged position, holding a Mid-grade Primordial Stone in his hand. His body was interwoven with three intense beams of light, illuminating the entire palace.

Most of the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi absorbed into his body was devoured by the cyan Xuandan, with only a small amount being distributed between the other two Xuandans.

Boom!

As time passed, the aura emanating from Xiao Ye grew increasingly vigorous, sweeping across like intense magma, suffocating those around, even Little White was frightened and scurried away.

In front of Xiao Ye, the Mid-grade Primordial Stone dwindled at a visible rate, its ashes floating around his body.

Six months later, after Xiao Ye had devoured six hundred Mid-grade Primordial Stones, the void trembled. Red, earthy yellow, and cyan light soared into a massive column reaching the Nine Heavens, accompanied by terrifying power fluctuations that shook the Heaven and thunderous sounds echoed incessantly.

"Wu Wu!"

In the palace, Little White, who was bored, was startled and hurriedly stayed far away from Xiao Ye.

Bang!

Xiao Ye suddenly opened his eyes; terrifying beams of light shot out from his pitch-black pupils, piercing through the layers of void.

"Ah!"

Xiao Ye stood in the palace, raising his head and letting out a long howl, feeling extremely exhilarated. An even more terrifying aura burst forth from his body, sweeping across the All Heavens World.

"My strength now is so strong!" Xiao Ye clenched his fists, feeling the surging power within him, his face filled with excitement.

For a Mystic Martial Martial Artist’s Xuandan, after breaking through to the Fourth Transition, it became incredibly difficult to advance even slightly, requiring a vast amount of Mid-grade Primordial Stones. However, through his relentless cultivation, both red and yellow Xuandans have broken through again, reaching the Fourth Transition Xuanwu Middle Stage.

The cyan Xuandan, being recently revived and having absorbed the most Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, had reached the Third Transition Xuanwu Middle Stage.

Xiao Ye once again realized the defiance of the Four Profound Treasure Technique, which endowed him with an immensely solid foundation.

"Now that I can unleash the power of three Xuandans, I should be able to contend with a Sixth Transition Xuanwu Middle Stage Martial Artist!" Xiao Ye was filled with immense confidence.

The strength of the Sixth Transition Xuanwu Middle Stage was notable even in the True Spirit Continent - certainly not weak.

Though half a year had passed and his cultivation had not increased much, his strength had undergone earth-shattering changes, incomparable to before. This was still under the condition that the third Xuandan had not caught up with the other two.

Moreover, he still had the fourth Xuandan yet to be revived.

"With my current strength, I should be able to pass through the array in the third passage," Xiao Ye slowly withdrew his aura, his eyes flashing with sharp light.

With this newfound confidence, Xiao Ye could hardly wait to see what kind of treasure he would find at the end of the third passage.

"Little White, you stay here and wait for me." Xiao Ye gave Little White some instructions and took out a hundred Mid-grade Primordial Stones as a provision before leaving the first palace.

Swoosh!

Xiao Ye’s figure flashed, quickly arriving at a fork in the road.

"I have to see what’s inside," Xiao Ye said with a face full of anticipation as he headed toward the third passage.

A day later, Xiao Ye reached the area enveloped by the array.

Boom!

Just like the last time, the ground suddenly shook, and the void produced numerous peerless divine weapons, their killing aura fiercely shot towards Xiao Ye, terrifyingly overwhelming.

"Humph!"

Xiao Ye snorted coldly. The three Xuandans inside his body burst out simultaneously, forming a defensive barrier on his exterior.

Bang Bang Bang!

These peerless divine weapons exploded upon colliding with Xiao Ye’s defense after a moment of stalemate, dispersing into the void.

But immediately afterward, even more peerless divine weapons shot towards him.

"This array’s power is indeed strong; any Martial Artist below the Sixth Transition Xuanwu Realm would undoubtedly die," Xiao Ye stood firm within the array, his surroundings filled with boundless golden light, then heavily striking against his defense.

As the battle progressed, the attacks grew stronger, causing Xiao Ye’s steps to gradually slow down.

"I’m almost there!"

Narrowing his eyes slightly, Xiao Ye saw an area ahead not covered by the array, his spirits immediately lifted. ƒгeewebnovёl_com

"Domineering Dragon Suppressing Sky Fist!"

Xiao Ye switched from defense to offense, combating the boundless golden light.

Now with all three Xuandans bursting forth together, a total of twenty massive Domineering Dragons emerged from his fists, furiously rushing towards the boundless golden radiance.

Boom!

After a deafening roar, the area in front of Xiao Ye was cleared into a vacuum zone, even shaking the array.

"The power is indeed strong!" Xiao Ye smiled slightly; with his current prowess, confronting this array had become very simple.

Xiao Ye walked out of the covered area of the array and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"I hope the treasure here won’t disappoint me." Xiao Ye looked around, suddenly stunned, "Where is this?"

At the end of the third passage, it was no longer a palace, but a cold space. At the center of the space was a White Jade Staircase.

The White Jade Stairs stretched endlessly into Heaven, resembling a road to heavenly ascension, extremely peculiar.

"Young one, only by completing this path of trial will you obtain the treasure I left behind." Just as Xiao Ye was absent-mindedly standing there, a man in a green robe, appearing very translucent, suddenly emerged beside the White Jade Stairs, clearly an energy avatar.

"Senior Yun Feiyang!" Upon seeing the man, Xiao Ye was thoroughly shaken.

He had seen this technique of leaving behind an energy avatar in the place of the Empress Inheritance.

How powerful was Yun Feiyang exactly, to possess such ability? Since he deliberately left this path of trial, the treasure must be extraordinary.

However, after leaving these words and glancing at Xiao Ye, the energy avatar laughed heartily and then dissipated into nothingness.

"What exactly is the treasure?" Xiao Ye, uplifted, didn’t hesitate and stepped onto the White Jade Stairs.

Boom!

Just having stepped onto the first white jade stair, Xiao Ye felt his body stiffen, a tremendous pressure descended, pressing him down unexpectedly and making stars appear in his eyes.

"Damn!"

Xiao Ye winced in pain and immediately burst forth with power to resist this suppression. However, this suppression was very elusive and intangible, providing no leverage to counter it.

"Xuanwu Power doesn’t work!" Realizing the pressure did not lessen, Xiao Ye was dumbfounded.

"Try Martial Arts True Intent!"

Xiao Ye consecutively utilized three types of Martial Arts True Intent, all to no effect.

"Only Physical Body Power can be used!" Xiao Ye, with surging Blood Qi all over, resisted the pressure and finally stood up from the White Jade Stairs.

Ever since he ascended to Xuanwu, he hardly had to use his Physical Body Power, and now it had unexpectedly helped him.

"The path of trial... only Physical Body Power is effective..." Standing on the stairs, a spark of realization suddenly flashed through Xiao Ye’s mind.

"Could it be, the treasure left by Senior Yun Feiyang is related to the physical body?" Xiao Ye’s face showed intense excitement.

After becoming Xuanwu, he was very eager to find a technique or combat technique that could temper the physical body. Given the rarity of his current Physical Body Power, he did not want to give it up.

Tap!

Xiao Ye steadied his emotions and, powering through with his Physical Body Power against the pressure, continued marching upwards.

The pressure-filled White Jade Stairs, though not incredibly strong for a martial artist of the Xuanwu Realm, would be very easy if one could use the Xuanwu Power.

But once the Xuanwu Power was rendered ineffective, only relying on Physical Body Power to proceed made the difficulty horrendously hard, and few people could get through.

After all, among the Xuanwu Realm Martial Artists, who would temper their physical body unless necessary? Even achieving Xiao Ye’s level is exceedingly rare.

Tap!

Tap!

...

In the silent space, only Xiao Ye’s footsteps echoed.

"How long exactly is this White Jade Stairway!" After one day, Xiao Ye had climbed at least two thousand steps, yet he still couldn’t see the end.

Moreover, with every additional step on the White Jade Stairs, the pressure increased slightly, accumulating over time to reach an astonishing level. Even Xiao Ye was starting to find it tough.

"Keep going!"

Xiao Ye sat on a stair to rest for two hours, then lifted his foot and continued upwards.

"Damn, why can’t I see the end yet!" A month later, Xiao Ye cursed loudly.

Walking this far, Xiao Ye was almost at his limit; every step required a long time to rest, and his body was soaked with sweat.

Among the Martial Artists of the Xuanwu Realm, how many could walk this far relying solely on Physical Body Power? This was simply a seemingly unbreakable predicament.

"Hmm!"

At that moment, Xiao Ye’s pupils contracted sharply. Because upfront, a vague old figure appeared.

That old figure, bent over under the pressure, with his robe soaked in mottled blood, looked in immense pain, yet he still refused to give up, trying to step forward.

"How can there be someone else here!" A chill ran through Xiao Ye’s heart.

Almost everyone from Heavenly Slaughter Island had died, and it was impossible for anyone capable of reaching that spot to exist.

"Could it be another martial artist has discovered this place?" Xiao Ye thought to himself as he concealed his presence.

Once the old man noticed him, he might take action. Before understanding the opponent’s strength, Xiao Ye did not want to alarm them.

However, Xiao Ye’s reaction was a bit slow; his cursing had already been heard by the old man ahead.

Swoosh!

A pair of eyes, flickering with cold light like that of a venomous snake, suddenly stared straight at Xiao Ye.

"You’re not from my Heavenly Slaughter Island yet you dare to intrude into the forbidden land of Heavenly Slaughter Island; are you tired of living?" The old man’s voice, full of killing intent, rang out.

Hearing this clear declaration of stance, the identity of the other party was seemingly obvious.

"Heavenly Slaughter Island... You are Da Sha!" Xiao Ye was incredulous.

That Da Sha, rumored to have disappeared for three years and went to the True Spirit Continent, was actually here.

Could it be that he had been climbing these White Jade Stairs for the past three years? That was too extreme!
