Martial Conquest of the Nine Desolates-Chapter 468 - 454: The Great Enemy Emerges

Watching the corpse of Golden Roc King powerless falling from the sky, Xiao Ye breathed a sigh of relief, his tense nerves relaxed, and suddenly the side effects of the fabricated ’King Realm’ emerged, causing him great pain, making him weak all over, and forcing him to kneel on the ground.

It must be said, the experts of the King Martial Realm are indeed terrifying, as different from the Void Martial Realm as heaven is from earth, completely different levels; even with all his hidden cards revealed and the cooperation of many Ferocious Beasts and Little White, only then could he kill the Golden Roc King.

Of course, this is also quite astonishing. If this news were to spread, it would definitely cause a huge sensation.

"Ooh ooh!"

Seeing Xiao Ye kneeling, Little White quickly flew over, standing on Xiao Ye’s shoulder.

"I’m fine." Xiao Ye showed a smiling face and patted Little White’s head, this time he really owed a lot to Little White.

Xiao Ye sat cross-legged, circulating the Ten Thousand Refinement Golden Body Second Layer for a long while right there, only then did he feel his physical strength had somewhat recovered, and his injuries also temporarily stabilized.

"Hmph, daring to strike against the Ye Alliance, you deserve to die," Xiao Ye said coldly as he stood up and stared at the corpse of Golden Roc King.

Then, Xiao Ye flew towards the corpse of Golden Roc King.

The corpse of a King Martial Realm expert is bound to have many treasures; of course, he could not pass this up.

Just as he approached, Xiao Ye noticed a dark space ring on the fingers of Golden Roc King.

"There must be treasures inside." Xiao Ye’s eyes lit up as he removed the space ring, and sent his Void Martial Thought to probe inside.

This space ring was obviously high-level, its internal space huge, like a palace, and as soon as Xiao Ye’s Consciousness entered, he found a pile of High Grade Essence Stones, like a small mountain, their white glow illuminating the internal space.

"So many High Grade Essence Stones!" Xiao Ye was shocked.

By his conservative estimate, the quantity of these High Grade Essence Stones definitely reached five thousand.

High Grade Essence Stones are extremely rare treasures in the Four Great States; even high-level experts of the King Martial Realm might possess only a few hundred, and for an entry-level King Martial like Golden Roc King to possess five thousand was definitely illogical, surely acquired only recently.

Otherwise, having entered the King Martial Realm for many years, Golden Roc King’s cultivation couldn’t have made little progress, and would not have been injured by King Xingyun.

"Surely there is a hidden hand behind Golden Roc King, attacking our Ye Alliance and also aiming to kill me; these High Grade Essence Stones must be something that the hidden hand gave to Golden Roc King," Xiao Ye’s gaze turned icy, more certain of his speculation.

Besides the South Emperor, he could not think of anyone else.

"Hmph, South Emperor, you hold back because of Taiyi Palace, afraid to strike at me directly, sending Golden Roc King instead."

"Just you wait; you didn’t expect Golden Roc King would die by my hands. Now these High Grade Essence Stones belong to me," Xiao Ye naturally wouldn’t be polite; since his own space ring was too small to hold so many High Grade Essence Stones, he simply decided to use Golden Roc King’s ring.

"Let’s see what other treasures there are." Xiao Ye continued his search.

Soon, Xiao Ye made a new discovery, finding a golden longsword in his hands, its slender blade emitting a tremendous Suppression.

"Could this be a Royal Artifact?" Xiao Ye observed it for a while, suddenly becoming excited.

The Quasi-King Artifact in his hands could already unleash extremely terrifying power; if this longsword was indeed a Royal Artifact, that would be a big windfall.

Buzz!

Xiao Ye activated his power, channeling it into the longsword, immediately the winds and clouds transformed, the blade trembled, Sword Qi pierced the Nine Heavens, the extremely sharp Sword Light involuntarily emanating out, causing Xiao Ye to feel a chill throughout his body, prompting him to operate the Ten Thousand Refinement Golden Body Second Layer to resist.

After examining it, Xiao Ye frowned.

Because he discovered that although the longsword contained the Suppression of the King Martial Realm, he felt the power circulation within the blade was not smooth, clearly flawed.

"No wonder Golden Roc King didn’t use this sword in our fight; it turns out it hasn’t risen to the true Royal Artifact stage yet," Xiao Ye felt very disappointed.

To craft a Royal Artifact, aside from needing top-quality materials, it also needs to be nurtured in the King Realm for a long time to succeed, so Royal Artifacts are extremely rare, and not even some King Martial Realm experts might possess them.

"However, the power of this longsword is somewhat stronger than the Heavenly Incomplete Bow, using it as a trump card in the future wouldn’t be bad," Xiao Ye waved it into the space ring.

Then, in the space ring of Golden Roc King, Xiao Ye found two sets of Ninth Grade Combat Techniques, both very powerful, and even discovered an Intermediate level Virtual Martial Arts Cultivation Technique, and Elixirs that treat injuries of King Martial Realm experts.

After taking one Elixir, indeed the recovery speed of his injuries greatly increased, and combined with the Ten Thousand Refinement Golden Body, his injuries had almost completely healed.

Besides, there were some miscellaneous items in the Space Ring of Golden Roc.

Calling them miscellaneous is because Xiao Ye’s standards are now very high, but if placed outside, each item would be enough to cause a frenzy of slaughter for their possession.

"Besides the High Grade Essence Stones, damaged Royal Artifacts, and two sets of Ninth Grade Battle Techniques, there are no treasures left; this Golden Roc really is quite poor." Xiao Ye packed up all the treasures, looked up, and was instantly speechless.

Because Golden Roc’s corpse had been completely devoured by the Ferocious Beasts driven by Little White, leaving only a skeleton.

The Ferocious Beasts, after devouring Golden Roc’s corpse, obviously had their strength greatly increased, their eyes flickering with sharpness, and their aura full.

A King Martial Realm Expert, to be ambushed and slain by a Martial Artist from the Void Martial Realm, was already suffocating enough, and to end up in the belly of a Ferocious Beast is truly a pitiful extremity, but Xiao Ye didn’t feel any sympathy.

"After this incident, South Emperor probably won’t dare to act rashly again; I can take a breath for a moment, but South Emperor is always a huge threat," Xiao Ye frowned slightly.

His Cultivation is set here; he simply cannot cope with South Emperor.

"If it really comes down to it, when people from Taiyi Palace arrive, I’ll let them take action to help me eliminate South Emperor," Xiao Ye thought silently, "After returning this time, I must hurry to enhance my Cultivation, otherwise, once I enter Central State, I can only be bullied."

The battle with Golden Roc made Xiao Ye even more aware of his own inadequacy in Cultivation; otherwise, with the heaven-defying Four Emperors Technique, he wouldn’t have needed Little White’s intervention to contend against Golden Roc.

Whoosh!

Xiao Ye, enduring the injuries on his body, soared into the sky, disappearing quickly into the Heroic Soul Forest with Little White. The Ferocious Beasts driven by Little White also stepped forward and gradually left this place, leaving only the signs of the battle that reminded of the intense fighting that had occurred.

Four hours later, Xiao Ye returned to the Ye Alliance. Long Chen and others saw Xiao Ye’s disheveled state and were immediately shocked, their faces filled with worry.

"Xiao Ye, did you really..." Long Chen shut the doors and windows, making sure not to attract the attention of Ye Alliance Martial Artists, then came up to Xiao Ye to ask.

"Don’t make a fuss, just remember, in this world, there is no longer a Golden Roc, but you also be careful," Xiao Ye didn’t explain much and spoke indifferently, then flashed back to his room to heal his injuries, leaving a confused Long Chen.

Could it be that Xiao Ye really killed Golden Roc?

It took a long time for Long Chen to calm down, and of course, he wouldn’t doubt Xiao Ye’s words, quietly lifting the sanctuary’s restrictions on Ye City.

But the Martial Artists of the Ye Alliance dared not leave Ye City until Long Chen, risking his life, traveled outside for half a month and returned safely; only then did the Martial Artists of the Ye Alliance fully relax.

They wept for joy; the days of fear and apprehension were finally over.

As time passed, the Ye Alliance began to return to its former state, flourishing and developing magnificently.

Bang!

A month later, in a room of Ye Alliance Mansion, a strong fluctuation of power burst out, sweeping all around like a tide, making the Martial Artists in the mansion feel a great pressure.

"Void Martial Level 6 now," Xiao Ye slowly opened his eyes, his pupils intertwined with dazzling Divine Light that captivated the soul.

The battle with Golden Roc greatly aided his Cultivation; with the assistance of High Grade Essence Stone and Time Tower, he broke through the Boundary Barriers, advancing to Void Martial Level 6, significantly enhancing his strength.

"With my current strength, if I duel with Golden Roc again, even if I am still at a disadvantage, I won’t be severely injured anymore." Feeling the surging power within his body, Xiao Ye was full of confidence.

"People from Taiyi Palace will arrive soon, and since South Emperor has been quiet during this period, I should take Ye Alliance to my fief," Xiao Ye stood up and walked outside, contacting Long Chen.

In the following time, Ye Alliance became very busy as they were preparing to move to Xiao Ye’s fiefdom, truly advancing to the status of a Kingdom Level power, which excited them yet made them nervous.

Days later, busy with trivial matters, King Xingyun finally finished his tasks and personally arrived, having a long talk with Xiao Ye, who of course informed him about everything regarding Golden Roc before swiftly changing the subject.

King Xingyun thought Golden Roc had retreated because he was wary of the people from Taiyi Palace coming to welcome Xiao Ye, so he no longer pursued the matter and instead sent an army to help Ye Alliance relocate.

Elsewhere, in a desolate forest on True Spirit Continent, a shadow swiftly landed in front of a cave and respectfully knelt on one knee.
