In the underground palace, an endless divine light burst forth from Xiao Ye’s body. The Fusion King Martial Power of the Three-in-One receded like a tide, replaced by the dense Emperor Martial Power.
Xiao Ye raised his head and roared, his disheveled black hair fluttering in the wind. His entire body’s power surged dramatically, as if he had turned into a sun. The blazing light illuminated everything, and his terrifying aura swept across the Nine Heavens, releasing majestically.
Inside Xiao Ye’s body, it was as if a divine entity had awakened, the energy wave it unleashed engulfed everything.
This realm trembled and quaked, a wave of unrest as if the apocalypse had descended.
The demon soldiers, who were originally battling the devilish disciples from Taiyi Palace and the inner sect disciples from Piaomiao Sect, found their bodies burdened like they were carrying mountains, immobilized by the suppression. This was Xiao Ye creating an opportunity for them.
Taking advantage of this rare chance, the disciples of the Holy Palace and the Piaomiao Sect surged forward like a knife through butter, slaughtering all these demon soldiers.
Moreover, due to Xiao Ye’s Emperor Martial aura suppression, even upon the activation of their demon techniques, the demon soldiers’ wounds could barely heal once they were slain.
After dealing with these demon soldiers, the disciples guarded the entrance of the damaged palace, gazing up at Xiao Ye in midair, their faces filled with shock.
When Xiao Ye previously fought Jun Shitian, he had invoked this power, but his own body also suffered from its impact, causing it to crumble.
Now, the power Xiao Ye unleashed seemed much stronger than before.
"Junior Brother Xiao Ye, this old guy is something only you can handle, so do your best!" Instantly, these disciples stood at the palace door with their weapons, jointly protecting the Emperor Realm elders of the Holy Palace, silently praying in their hearts.
"How is this possible? He actually advanced to the Emperor Realm? What exactly is happening!"
The Demon Saber was utterly stunned, his face full of disbelief.
At this moment, he no longer cared about the demon soldiers slain by the disciples of the Holy Palace and Piaomiao Sect, as the demon soldiers in their Ultimate Palace were mere cannon fodder. Moreover, those he brought were the lowest-ranking in the Ultimate Palace, hardly worth mentioning.
Right now, the Demon Saber was thoroughly immersed in the shock Xiao Ye brought him.
Previously, when he fought Xiao Ye, he felt clearly that Xiao Ye’s cultivation was still in the King Martial Realm, though his strength was outstanding, the true cultivation had not even reached the King Martial Peak.
Only with the Emperor’s Xiao Blade could he unleash Emperor Realm combat power.
But now, the aura releasing from Xiao Ye felt clearly like it belonged to an Emperor Realm expert.
More importantly, this Emperor Martial aura was not one even ordinary Emperor Realm experts could possess; not even Titled Emperor Martial could compare, it was like a Great Emperor!
Xiao Ye’s guess was correct.
Since receiving the Emperor Martial Infusion, his strength and cultivation had fully advanced, even his body was cleansed. Thus, the Emperor Martial Power his body could bear greatly increased.
This time, the mysterious martial artist’s Emperor Martial Power he could endure was at least three times more. If faced with Jun Shitian, as long as the latter had no unimaginable ace, he was confident to easily kill him.
"The real battle begins now."
Xiao Ye’s body was flowing with vast Emperor Martial Power, his eyes were bright with divine radiance, enveloped in a powerful aura. He stared at the Demon Saber opposite him, clenching the Xiao Blade in his hand, the invincible war intent surged skyward from his body, and the Emperor Martial Power overflowed from within.
"Hmph, it seems the Young Palace Master was right, there must be some treasure in your body that can instantly enhance your cultivation. But such forced enhancement is not sustainable and doesn’t truly put you in the Emperor Realm."
"As long as I delay time, I don’t even need to fight you, I believe your own physical body will soon fail."
At this point, the shock on Demon Saber’s face disappeared. He stared at Xiao Ye’s body, a grim smile emerging as he said.
Hearing this, Xiao Ye’s breathing paused, then his expression turned grim.
Indeed, the Demon Saber was correct.
Even though he experienced the Emperor Martial Infusion, his body received the cleansing of the Emperor Martial Power, at this moment the Emperor Martial Power he provoked was just about three times of before, and the physical body was under immense pressure.
At this moment, his body was already starting to crack, covered with fissures, rapidly staining his long robe red. Thıs text ıs hosted at 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭•𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚•𝕟𝕖𝕥
So absolutely no time can be wasted!
The Demon Saber before him was unfathomable, absolutely incomparable to the young talents like Jun Shitian who have just entered the Emperor Realm not long ago.
To protect the Emperor Realm elders behind him, he could only fight once, regardless of win or lose!
"Less talk, defeat me if you can!"
With a roar, Xiao Ye surged the overwhelming Emperor Martial Power within, flowing like a flood, channeling into the Xiao Blade in his hand.
Immediately, the Xiao Blade in Xiao Ye’s hand seemed to resurrect as a peerless strong being, sovereign over all, unleashing an extremely sharp peerless edge.
As the blade swept, heaven and earth were shaken, and even gods and ghosts weeped!
Without a word, Xiao Ye charged forward with the Xiao Blade lifted high, struck out with one slash, sweeping across the Nine Heavens. Even the void was cleaved open, a deep ravine appeared, extending directly before the Demon Saber, intending to tear him apart fiercely.
"Haha, how dare a mere glowworm compete with the sun and moon. Today I’ll show you what a true Emperor Realm expert is, on behalf of our Young Palace Master, to take the treasure within you!"
"Divine Dragon Slash!"
The Demon Saber chuckled coldly, the saber in his hand unsheathed, the black sword light blossomed heavily. Like a lotus, it wove a pitch-black divine dragon in the void, dragon soaring the Nine Heavens, dragon roar shook the sky, colliding fiercely with Xiao Ye’s sword light.
The two peerless sword lights clashed together, instantly unleashing an unmatched energy wave. Even the heavenly dome was overturned. After the collision, the two differently colored lights swept in all directions, destroying everything in their path, leaving nothing intact.
Xiao Ye, holding the Xiao Blade, retreated explosively, immediately spitting out a mouthful of blood, his eyes turning serious as he watched the red-haired elder in the distance holding the Demon Saber.
Indeed, although he conjured Emperor Martial Power from that mysterious martial artist, compared with a real Emperor Realm strong being like the red-haired elder, the gap was significant, difficult to bridge.
