Martial Conquest of the Nine Desolates-Chapter 251 - 249 Blank Scroll

Too exaggerated!

At this thought, Xiao Ye was shocked to the point of staring with eyes wide and mouth agape.

The outside world rumored that the leader of the Four Evils on Heavenly Slaughter Island vanished without a trace three years ago, heading to the True Spirit Continent. But who could have imagined that he was actually in Yun Feiyang’s cave dwelling, climbing these White Jade Stairs. Moreover, it appeared that in these three years, he had yet to reach the top.

This was quite normal. A Mystic Martial martial artist’s strength lies in the comprehension of complete Martial Arts True Intent and the condensation of a Xuandan in their body, enabling the use of Xuanwu Power. However, in such a place, Xuanwu Power was utterly useless, and one could only rely on climbing with Physical Body Power.

If it wasn’t for Xiao Ye being in the Innate Realm with refined Physical Body, surpassing the vast majority of Mystic Martial martial artists, he wouldn’t possibly have caught up.

"It seems that the Mid-grade Primordial Stones left in the first palace were prepared for Da Sha." Xiao Ye’s eyes flickered; it all made sense now.

"Brat, there are numerous Mystic Martial martial artists on Heavenly Slaughter Island, and outside there is an array set up by me. How did you break in!" Da Sha’s face twisted somewhat hideously, clearly in great pain under such pressure.

"This question, you will know once you get out." Xiao Ye said indifferently.

Da Sha considered this place a forbidden land of Heavenly Slaughter Island and definitely regarded the treasure left by Yun Feiyang as his own. Therefore, whether or not he killed the other Three Evils, the relationship between him and Da Sha was destined to be adversarial and could not end peacefully.

Xiao Ye was not the least bit polite with enemies.

Two strong experts were confronting each other, separated by a thousand steps.

"Hmph! I am magnanimous. If you retreat quickly now, I can let go of your intrusion!" Da Sha’s eyes surged with a cold light, then quickly retracted, as he couldn’t help snorting coldly.

"Magnanimous?" Xiao Ye smiled slightly, exhibiting a mocking expression, "I think you just want to obtain the treasure left by senior Yun Feiyang and wish to avoid too much consumption."

Xiao Ye was not wrong. Da Sha’s Physical Body was not strong, and it had taken a great deal of effort to get here. How could he be willing to go through it all over again?

Having his intentions bluntly exposed, Da Sha was furious with embarrassment.

"So what if it is? Once I get the treasure, I will make you wish for death!" Da Sha yelled angrily.

"Unfortunately, the treasure left by senior Yun Feiyang is mine!" Xiao Ye laughed heartily and stepped forward.

"Ridiculous! I’ve been climbing here for three years to reach this point, and you, a greenhorn, think you can catch up to me!" Da Sha wore a look of disdain.

But very quickly, the disdain on his face turned into shock.

"How is this possible!"

Xiao Ye’s robe fluttered as he used his Physical Body Power to resist the pressure, stepping forward towards him. Although it looked slow, he was much faster than Da Sha.

"Kid, you are actually a Body Refinement martial artist; I’ve underestimated you."

"No matter how you got in, but since you’re still so young and have spent energy on body refinement, your cultivation must not be strong. If you’re so eager to die, then I’ll fulfill your wish." Da Sha stopped advancing and sat down instead, quietly resting and waiting for Xiao Ye to approach, a cold smile hanging on his face.

He knew even with his toes that the treasure Yun Feiyang had left here was extremely precious and would not allow others to touch it.

"Waiting for me?" Looking at Da Sha, who was like a road-blocking tiger, Xiao Ye sneered in his heart.

Now that his strength had advanced by leaps and bounds, he wanted to test it out.

Although Da Sha was the leader of the Four Evils, he had spent too much time here, so how strong could his cultivation be?

Both great experts harbored their own devious intentions.

Tap!

Tap!

...

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

Half a month later, Xiao Ye finally crossed the thousand steps and arrived in front of Da Sha.

Swoosh!

Da Sha, who had been sitting cross-legged on the White Jade Stairs, abruptly opened his eyes. The gaze from his sharp eyes seemed to pierce through the void as he looked at Xiao Ye.

"Brat, since you insist on your folly, go to hell!" Da Sha roared as he stood up, the bones in his body cracked under pressure, and his face twisted in severe pain.

Boom!

Da Sha’s eyes were cold and ruthless. The Xuandan inside him erupted as he threw a punch straight at Xiao Ye. The punch glowed fiercely, and the might of his formidable power swept across all directions.

"Oh? Sixth Transition Early Stage Xuanwu!" Xiao Ye was slightly surprised in his heart. He did not expect that Da Sha’s cultivation was so strong before climbing the White Jade Stairs.

If it were not for the revival of a Dead Xuan Pill, or if Da Sha had not wasted these three years, even using the Domineering Dragon Suppressing Sky Fist would not be a match.

One can only say that all of this was fated by the heavens. Da Sha encountering Xiao Ye was destined to be a tragedy, because in terms of strength, Xiao Ye was enough to compete with a Sixth Transition Xuanwu Middle Stage martial artist.

"Scram!"

Xiao Ye channeled his Physical Body Power, striving to resist the pressure, then erupted with his strongest power to meet the punch.

Under these circumstances, neither of them dared to make any big movements, or they might accidentally be sent flying by the pressure.

Rumbling!

Three Xuandans revived simultaneously, the scene was terrifyingly breathtaking; the power burst forth like magma, causing space around Xiao Ye to boil and distort.

Boom!

In mid-air, the two fists collided, Da Sha screamed in agony, feeling an immense force transmitted from his fist, rattling his bones like a hail of pebbles, and as a cloud of blood burst forth, his body involuntarily retreated.

"Ah!"

The pressure of the White Jade Stairs increased the further one went, bearing down on Da Sha and eliciting another terrible scream from him as he staggered and rolled down the stairs.

"Damn brat, just you wait, if I, Da Sha, don’t kill you, I swear I’m not human!" Da Sha roared, his figure swiftly disappearing from Xiao Ye’s sight.

"Damn it, Little White!" Xiao Ye was indifferent to Da Sha’s threats, but his heart was seized by anxiety.

What if Da Sha returned to the first palace to get the Mid-grade Primordial Stones? How would Little White fare against someone with such terrifying cultivation?

"I really am a mess when it comes to the people I care about," Xiao Ye immediately let out a bitter smile.

Given Da Sha’s current state, how much strength could he muster? If he were to face Little White, it was likely he would just get trounced.

With this thought, Xiao Ye calmed down and didn’t chase after him, instead continuing to climb forward.

"I wonder how my strength now compares to a Heavenly Son with a special physique," yearning in his gaze, Xiao Ye was filled with an intense desire for battle.

Among martial artists of the same realm, probably only the Heavenly Son could be considered his match.

So what if he didn’t have a special physique? Xiao Ye had the Four Profound Treasure Technique and had built the deepest foundation in the Xuanwu Realm on the True Spirit Continent, he even dared to directly confront the Heavenly Son.

"Let’s see what kind of treasure Senior Yun Feiyang left behind."

The fact that Da Sha persisted for three years without giving up made him even more eager for the treasures here.

Another month passed, and the pressure on the White Jade Stairs grew even more, causing Xiao Ye’s bones to crack audibly, blood seeping into his robe; every step he took was excruciatingly painful as he persisted, teeth gritted.

Adding in the previous time, Xiao Ye had been climbing for two whole months, an astonishing duration.

"Hm? It’s almost the end!" Xiao Ye painfully looked up, barely able to see the exit of the White Jade Stairs, and his heart burst with joy, as new strength surged within him.

This path of tribulation tested not only the physical body but also the martial artist’s willpower.

"I finally made it up!" A month later, Xiao Ye climbed the final step and the pressure vanished; he collapsed on the ground, gasping for breath.

This path of tribulation was incredibly challenging, an almost torturous experience, and even with his physical body, he felt unbearable pain.

"Let’s see what’s here." After resting for a moment, Xiao Ye quickly got up.

After such effort, he certainly hoped for a substantial discovery.

At the end of the White Jade Stairs was a spacious plaza. In the center of the plaza stood a stone platform.

Xiao Ye hurried over and was momentarily stunned.

"Damn, just a ring?" On the stone platform lay a ring, quietly resting as it emitted a faint glow.

"Senior Yun Feiyang, you’re not playing with me, are you?" Xiao Ye felt like crying without tears; after a painstaking three months, was this ring all he got? What sort of treasure was this?

Grinding his teeth in frustration, Xiao Ye reached out to pick up the ring.

Boom!

At that moment, a mysterious sensation filled Xiao Ye’s mind.

It was a space ten meters high and ten meters wide, within which there lay a scroll.

A thought from Xiao Ye, and the scroll instantly flew out, appearing in his hand.

"This..." Xiao Ye looked at the booklet in his hands, his face covered in shock.

What was the space he had just sensed? And it could summon items out of thin air?

With another thought, the scroll disappeared again, reappearing in that space.

"Could this be the Space Ring mentioned by the Black Dragon Kingdom’s Monarch!" Xiao Ye pondered for a moment, then shuddered with excitement flashing in his eyes.

Back in the Yulan Domain, the Black Dragon Kingdom’s Monarch had mentioned a legendary treasure of the True Spirit Continent called a Space Ring, a separate space within it where martial artists could store their items, very conveniently.

However, Space Rings were exceedingly rare, and even a King Martial Realm Expert on the True Spirit Continent might not possess one. The entirety of the Thirteen Countries of the Yulan Domain sold together wouldn’t compare to the preciousness of a single Space Ring.

And now, such a valuable treasure appeared in his hands?

Xiao Ye’s face flushed with excitement; just the Space Ring alone far exceeded his expectations. From now on, he could store items within the Space Ring, which would be tremendously convenient.

"No, that’s not right! The purpose of the tribulation path left by Senior Yun Feiyang is to test the physical body, it definitely has nothing to do with the Space Ring." Xiao Ye calmed down and, with a thought, he summoned the scroll out of the Space Ring again.

"It seems the treasure mentioned by Senior Yun Feiyang must be this scroll."

Full of anticipation, Xiao Ye opened the scroll, only to become dumbstruck and bewildered, because the scroll was blank.

Rubbing his eyes in disbelief, Xiao Ye looked again, but the scroll remained blank without a single mark.

"Senior Yun Feiyang wouldn’t leave behind an empty scroll; surely there’s a special method to uncover its secrets," Xiao Ye thought darkly.
