Martial Conquest of the Nine Desolates-Chapter 477 - 463 Who Defeats Who

Boom!

As Xie Ming took a step forward, the spacious arena trembled, followed by intense bursts of light, like silver snakes, appearing out of thin air, instantly turning the arena into a domain of thunder and lightning, spreading in all directions and forming a massive terrifying shockwave.

Although these shockwaves were fearsome, the surrounding senior disciples merely waved them off effortlessly, dissipating them into nothingness, and then continued watching with relish.

On the stage, Xie Ming stood like a Thunder God in the domain of thunder, the reflection of thunder marks visible in his double pupils. At the same time, endless electric light gathered above his head, condensing into four real and one virtual thunder lotuses, causing the air to vibrate intensely.

"The Thunder and Lightning Profoundness from the Laws of Nature, his cultivation has reached four and a half layers!" Xiao Ye noticed this scene, his pupils involuntarily shrinking.

Although Xie Ming was arrogant, he indeed had the capital to be arrogant; his understanding of the Mysterious Realm was far superior to Xiao Ye’s. As long as Xie Ming advanced further in his thunder and lightning profoundness, it would be equivalent to possessing the comprehension of the King Martial Realm, no wonder he was known as invincible below the King Martial Realm.

The difference in the Mysterious Realm is also the greatest gap between him and the disciples of the Taiyi Palace to this day.

Bang!

At this moment, Xie Ming had already made a strong move. His entire body erupted with immense power, rushing towards Xiao Ye and launching his first attack.

Yet, Xiao Ye stood with his back turned, as if completely oblivious to the terrifying force of Xie Ming, and let the thunder-wrapped fist hit him.

"Ha ha, wouldn’t this newbie be too scared to move?"

"Alas, such poor psychological quality, and he dares to confront Xie Ming? Isn’t he just asking for trouble?"

"It’s not their fault, after all, he’s from the declining Martial Arts of the East State. Even if he stands out in the East State, he’s still far from comparable to our Holy Palace’s disciples; it’s only natural for him to be scared, nothing strange about it."

...

Seeing this scene, the senior disciples below the stage couldn’t help but burst into loud laughter, filled with disdain.

"Something’s not right!" At this point, one of the elder disciples looked straight ahead, staring at the stage as if he had seen a ghost, instantly arousing everyone’s interest, prompting them to perk up and look at the stage again.

They saw Xie Ming’s fist pass through Xiao Ye’s body without any hindrance, and not a single drop of blood was drawn. Instead, Xiao Ye’s figure was slowly fading.

"Is that an Avatar?"

The area fell into a deadly silence, all elder disciples were stunned, their faces filled with disbelief.

Normally, for a Martial Artist to conjure an Avatar, one must at least possess the cultivation of the King Martial Realm. However, they could see through Xiao Ye’s cultivation in an instant—merely Virtual Martial Level 7. How could he possibly conjure an Avatar?

"This new disciple is no simple character, maybe Xie Ming has kicked an iron board this time." The first elder disciple who sensed something amiss spoke slowly, breaking the silence in the area, causing a chill to run through the crowd.

In the eyes of many elder disciples, Xiao Ye, who people looked down upon, became incredibly mysterious.

"He can actually conjure an Avatar, hmph!" Xie Ming’s eyes shot out two brilliant beams of electric light, turning back to see, indeed Xiao Ye was standing calmly ten steps away.

"Do you think you can survive ten moves with these tricks? You’re too naive!" Xie Ming roared angrily, the four real and one virtual thunder lotuses above his head suddenly grew explosively, pouring down intense electric light, directly sealing the void above the stage.

Then he burst forth once more, throwing a palm strike. Countless bolts of lightning wound between his palms, transforming into boundless killing intent, enveloping Xiao Ye.

Xiao Ye sneered disdainfully. Since fully comprehending the Void Martial Scroll of the Four Emperor Skills, his cultivation might not have progressed much, but his power was continuously increasing. He was not afraid of Xie Ming’s thunder sealing.

Moreover, with his current cultivation, the power from the unity of the Four Cave Heavens was incredibly formidable, even Martial Artists who cultivated Emperor Level Virtual Martial Arts couldn’t match him in the same realm.

Boom!

Xiao Ye waved his hand lightly, the power of the Four Cave Heavens Unity flashed on the surface of his body, his entire person erupted with an intense glow, causing Xie Ming’s thunder lotuses above his head to tremble slightly, the seal directly collapsed.

Whoosh!

Before Xie Ming’s attack could reach him, he had already performed the Perfect Realm’s Virtual Outer Body Technique, dodging Xie Ming’s second strike.

"This... how is this possible!" Xie Ming landed on the stage, his face filled with shock as he looked at Xiao Ye.

Xiao Ye hadn’t reached the King Martial level, yet he could conjure an avatar to evade his attack, he already guessed that Xiao Ye must have cultivated some secret technique, hence the special sealing of the void.

But what he didn’t expect was that Xiao Ye could actually withstand his void seal.

To achieve this step, one must at least possess the same Mysterious Realm as him, or have such powerful cultivation to forcefully break through. However, he had not sensed any trace of Mysterious Energy from Xiao Ye just now.

So how exactly did Xiao Ye manage to do it?

In fact, not only him, but even the elder disciples below the stage let out cries of confusion, while only the elder hosting this duel flashed a peculiar look in his eyes, deeply gazing at Xiao Ye.

Others might not see it, but he could see through it with his sharp eyes.

"Ha, Xie Ming, you claim to be invincible under the King Martial Realm in the Yellow Hall? You can’t even touch me, a new disciple at Virtual Martial Level 7. You might as well commit suicide to avoid tarnishing our Yellow Hall’s reputation." Xiao Ye, with his hands behind his back, had his lips curled and his face was full of mockery.

These words almost made Xie Ming spit blood with anger, but the reality was as such. Xiao Ye managed to easily dodge his attacks without displaying any hint of his real strength, rendering him powerless to refute.

"Ah, I must kill you!" Xie Ming roared in anger, his eyes turning bloodshot, as he threw his fists towards Xiao Ye again, like a thundering Jiao Long dragon.

Xiao Ye remained calm and unaffected, executing the Virtual Outer Body Technique to dodge Xie Ming’s attacks.

Though this secret technique was formidable, it also had a significant flaw—if an enemy could lock down the void with power, one couldn’t escape. But Xiao Ye, with his terrifying power, could completely shatter any such blockage.

Thus, this secret technique displayed unparalleled power in Xiao Ye’s hands, playing Xie Ming like he was between his fingers.

"Xie Ming, this is the fifth move. You still can’t even catch my shadow. How can you claim you will defeat me within ten moves?"

"The sixth move now. Xie Ming, from now on when you step outside, you really shouldn’t claim you’re a disciple of Taiyi Palace, or else you will shame us. It would make others think all disciples of our Taiyi Palace are as useless as you."

"The seventh move now..."

"The eighth move now..."

On the stage, Xie Ming lunged towards Xiao Ye time after time, yet he was effortlessly dodged every single time, not even managing to catch his shadow, turning the scenario utterly ridiculous and leaving the elder disciples petrified.

If it weren’t witnessed with their own eyes, they would never believe that a new disciple at Virtual Martial Level 7 was capable of toying with an elder disciple renowned to be invincible under the King Martial Realm.

Particularly, every comment Xiao Ye made while dodging seemed like a knife stabbing into Xie Ming’s heart and also darkened the faces of numerous elder disciples.

If they were not even comparable to Xie Ming, who Xiao Ye described as trash and garbage, then wouldn’t they be even less than garbage?

"Only one move left, I thank you in advance for your one thousand high grade essence stones." Xiao Ye suddenly stopped his movement, standing proudly on the stage, his eyes filled with mockery as he looked at Xie Ming from a hundred paces away.

Although he temporarily had no shortage of top-grade essence stones, when they were offered to him, he saw no reason to turn them down. Moreover, with his unprecedented possession of Four Cave Heavens, he would need enormous amounts of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi when challenging the King Martial Realm later.

At that time, these one thousand high grade essence stones would definitely prove useful.

"Xiao Ye, you’re getting ahead of yourself. With the last move, I will surely defeat you, not giving you a chance to last ten moves!" Xie Ming’s eyes were fiery, his face full of rage.

If he failed to defeat Xiao Ye by the tenth move, not only would the high grade essence stones he borrowed from various places end up in Xiao Ye’s hands, but he would also be utterly disgraced, and that’s in front of nearly all the disciples of the Yellow Hall.

Such an outcome would feel worse than death.

Boom!

At this moment, terrible energy erupted from Xie Ming’s body, a Grotto Heaven rose behind him, making the surrounding void tremble violently like boiling water.

On the True Spirit Continent, Martial Artists of the Void Martial Realm value the Mysterious Rules more than cultivation because each advance in the Mysterious Realm can drastically increase one’s power while the impact of advancing cultivation pales in comparison.

Prior to this, Xie Ming had held back from using his Grotto Heaven, fearing he might kill Xiao Ye and breach the rules of the Holy Palace. But his performance now showed that he had abandoned that concern, as he absolutely could not afford to lose.

Swoosh!

In the next moment, Xie Ming transformed into a bolt of lightning, carrying a terrifying might, and burst towards Xiao Ye.

"The last move will not be you defeating me, but me defeating you!"

Xiao Ye’s eyes became sharp, like two sharp blades piercing through the void, his long hair waving without wind. Behind him, a unified Grotto Heaven slowly rose, enveloping the area and releasing an immense energy, like howling seas billowing in all directions, causing the complexions of many disciples below to darken.

Xiao Ye was simply too terrifying, and even many elder disciples who were close to attaining the Half-step King Martial felt ashamed and under immense pressure.

Boom!

This time, Xiao Ye didn’t dodge; instead, he met the attack head-on. With the Grotto Heaven behind him, he thrust his palm forward, unleashing boundless Divine Radiance.
