Martial Conquest of the Nine Desolates

The Bald Youth, Emperor Dao, with an immense Emperor Realm appearing behind him, exuded an invincible might, blocking the entrance to the Great Emperor Palace like a towering mountain, cutting off all paths. His earth-shattering killing intent was locked firmly onto Xiao Ye.

He looked like a humanoid ferocious beast, grinning ferociously at Xiao Ye.

"Emperor Dao, you!"

Tang Rou, who was beside Xiao Ye, also slightly frowned, staring angrily at Emperor Dao. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

In this situation, getting into the Great Emperor Palace as soon as possible was naturally the best choice.

Although the Great Emperor Palace wasn’t within the Inner World, once the Inner World closed, they would also have to retreat from the Great Emperor Palace; otherwise, they would be trapped within it.

Time was indeed very precious. Didn’t you see even Emperor Wu Di and Ji Xukong rushing into the Great Emperor Palace?

Blocking someone’s opportunity is akin to taking the life of a Martial Artist.

And yet Emperor Dao blocked the entrance, wasn’t he just creating trouble for them too?

"You can enter; my target is solely that damn Xiao Ye." Emperor Dao glanced at Tang Rou and Huang Taiji, who were beside Xiao Ye, along with three other Young Supremes who rushed over, and said in a deep voice.

Though he was powerful, he wasn’t arrogant enough to take on six great Young Supremes at once.

After all, Xiao Ye’s strength couldn’t be underestimated now, requiring his full attention to deal with him.

Therefore, he naturally didn’t stop the others.

"Alright, let’s head in first."

Shi He’s Genius, ranked second among the Eighteen Heavenly Talents of the Inner Domain, and two other older Young Supremes exchanged glances and, after breaking through the Killing Formation on the White Jade Square, rushed towards the Great Emperor Palace.

They had no relationship with Xiao Ye, and opposing Emperor Dao for Xiao Ye simply wasn’t possible.

Emperor Dao indeed kept his promise and didn’t stop the three, letting them rush past.

"And what about you?"

"Are you planning to go treasure hunting now, or spend enormous effort and time with Xiao Ye to defeat me?"

"You must know, there are already five Young Supremes who rushed in. For every moment spent here, there will be one less treasure in the Great Emperor Palace." With a sinister look, Emperor Dao stared at Tang Rou and Huang Taiji, speaking with a malicious smile.

His intention was clear, to divide Tang Rou and Huang Taiji from Xiao Ye.

Such malicious intent.

"Hmph, Xiao Ye has helped us before; we can’t just stand by and watch him fall into danger. If you wish to target Xiao Ye, then I’ll join with him to defeat you!" Tang Rou ignored Emperor Dao’s words, stepping forward and proclaiming loudly.

Emperor Dao’s strength was indeed formidable, stronger than her.

But compared to the kindness Xiao Ye previously provided her, it was negligible.

"Brother Xiao, let’s not waste words on him; let’s charge through together. The three of us together, does he really dare to stop us?" Huang Taiji followed, a mocking smile on his face.

"Hmph, Xiao Ye, you coward, do you only know how to hide behind others?" Hearing this, Emperor Dao’s expression slightly changed.

He couldn’t fathom that Tang Rou and Huang Taiji would still side with Xiao Ye, causing his plan of division to fail.

As Huang Taiji said, if Xiao Ye and the two charged at the Great Emperor Palace together, facing three against one, he had no confidence in winning, and might even encounter danger, ultimately being a futile effort.

"Heh, Emperor Dao, I just like standing behind others, any thoughts? If you do, why don’t you defeat the three of us?" Xiao Ye sneered, operating the Second Layer of the Dominating Body, appearing like an Invincible War God, flying towards the Great Emperor Palace with Huang Taiji and Tang Rou.

He’s agreed to have Emperor Wu Di allow Tang Rou and Huang Taiji to join the First Camp precisely to handle the situation arising now.

Entering the Great Emperor Palace required every precious moment, and he’s no fool to waste time entangling with Emperor Dao.

As for Emperor Dao’s taunts?

He paid them no mind.

Once he finds the treasures and opportunities left by the Undefeated Emperor, considering what Emperor Dao has done now, he will take ruthless action, eliminating him.

"Xiao Ye, you coward, just wait, don’t let me catch you in the Great Emperor Palace!"

Seeing Xiao Ye and the two flying side by side, Emperor Dao’s face was full of rage, but he had no choice, turning and rushing into the Great Emperor Palace door.

"Heh, now it seems like the coward is you, huh?" Xiao Ye looked at Emperor Dao’s retreating figure with disdain.

Seeing the three together scared him into running away?

He truly looked down on Emperor Dao.

Woosh! Woosh! Woosh!

Xiao Ye, Huang Taiji, and Tang Rou flew into the Great Emperor Palace’s main door together.

Crash!

In an instant, the three felt their vision change. When their sight recovered, they found themselves standing in what seemed like an independent world within a palace.

This place was vast, endless, and empty. What was most eye-catching was the hundreds of pathways leading to different areas, resembling a maze.

Clearly, by traversing these paths, one could truly reach the Great Emperor Palace’s treasury.

As for the Young Supremes who had entered earlier, they were nowhere to be found.

"A palace containing another world within, truly the means of a Great Emperor." Xiao Ye marveled silently.

The pathways ahead led to different locations, as the three released their Emperor’s Martial Intent to probe, finding that before the Great Emperor Palace, an oppressive force suppressed their intent, reducing their probing range to a mere hundred meters, rendering it nearly useless.

Simultaneously, Xiao Ye realized that upon entering the Great Emperor Palace, the Four Emperor Skills he cultivated seemed to lose their call, becoming silent.

Left with no choice, they discussed momentarily and decided to proceed together, choosing one of the paths to rush down.

This road, winding and long, destination unknown, surged with majestic energy along its path.

Swish!

After progressing for about an hour, the view ahead opened up suddenly.

"What is that?"

The three focused their gaze and saw a cliff ahead, below which endless searing magma blazed with fiery light.

Suspended above the magma was a floating island, lush with green foliage, trees covering the sky and blocking out the sun, enveloping the entire island, brimming with vitality.

"That island surely holds treasure, everyone be careful!"

A glint of light sparkled in Xiao Ye’s eyes as he spoke softly.

"Haha, Brother Xiao, let me scout the path!" Huang Taiji laughed heartily, putting away his folding fan, his body flying through the air, heading towards the floating island from above the cliff.
