Boom!

The rune array around the completely exploded hill, merged into the void, all disappeared. The terrifying aura that it could no longer suppress flowed out, rolling and sweeping across all heavens.

Fizz! Fizz! Fizz!

This aura soared into the sky and kept surging. Four Emperor Realms rose as if they could dominate all things, undergoing a perfect transformation, soon stabilizing.

Immediately, a very young figure rose into the air.

Splash!

The young figure’s black hair danced wildly, his eyes sharp. The void around him rippled like water, with visible ripples spreading outwards.

Four huge Emperor Realm shadows evolved into four magnificent figures, standing behind this youth, making him look like a divine spirit.

Four different Emperor Martial Powers, as turbulent as a rushing river, filled with terrifying strength, causing heaven and earth to tremble.

"Finally, my cultivation has broken through!"

"The simultaneous transformation of four Emperor Martial Powers has increased my strength several times over!"

Xiao Ye clenched his fists, feeling the simultaneous transformation and the surge in power of the four Emperor Martial Powers, his face full of excitement.

Before the Ancient Array - Qiankun Formation completely disappeared, his cultivation finally broke through to the Level 8 Early Stage of the Emperor Realm.

If it wasn’t for his previous attempt, where using the Time Tower would make the Qiankun Formation’s effects disappear, he could have refined all four Holy Dragon Crystals in less than half a day.

For safety reasons, he refrained from using the Time Tower this time while refining.

If his previous four Emperor Martial Powers were like a small stream, now they are like the Yangtze River, completely incomparable.

"The Holy Dragon Crystal should be the ultimate state of Heaven and Earth Elemental Stone, only possible to breed in the Ancient Era. Unfortunately, they can only be used once. If I didn’t have four Emperor Realms, I could only use one piece."

"Otherwise, refining a dozen Holy Dragon Crystals might push my cultivation to Level 9 of the Emperor Realm," Xiao Ye thought regretfully.

Swoosh!

The next moment, his deep gaze looked at Qiong Sen, who was suppressed by his powerful aura not far away.

"Xiao... Xiao Ye, your cultivation has broken through!"

Qiong Sen’s face was full of fear.

At this moment, he was locked by Xiao Ye’s powerful aura. If he moved slightly, he would be struck by a thunderous attack, so he dared not move.

Before Xiao Ye’s cultivation breakthrough, he could easily defeat him. How could it be possible now?

"Qiong Sen, if you honestly participated in this True Martial Baptism quota competition, maybe I would have helped you get a quota, but you..."

Xiao Ye’s gaze grew colder.

Even though he was breaking through to Level 8 of the Emperor Realm, he was well aware of the external happenings.

Regarding Qiong Sen, he was already filled with killing intent.

"Xiao Ye is here!!!!"

Feeling Xiao Ye’s killing intent, Qiong Sen shouted in panic and attempted to escape.

"Hmph, do you think you can escape?"

Xiao Ye coldly smiled, stepped out in the void, and suddenly reached for Qiong Sen.

Boom!

The terrifying Emperor Martial Power surged, triggering the riot of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, weaving a massive hand that chased after, directly striking down at Qiong Sen’s head.

After Xiao Ye’s cultivation broke through to Level 8 of the Emperor Realm, the Emperor Martial Power could already manifest all things, suppress Qiong Sen effortlessly, without needing any combat techniques.

"Ah!"

Qiong Sen was terrified, and before he could unleash his strength, he was suppressed by this massive hand, letting out a miserable scream, blood and flesh flying, creating a blood rain.

The strongest genius among Pure Yang Alliance’s young generation that hasn’t undergone True Martial Baptism has fallen!

"Xiao Ye Brother..."

Severely injured, Guo An’an’s face showed a shocked expression.

She knew that Xiao Ye’s strength would definitely surge after his cultivation breakthrough, but she didn’t anticipate it would be so terrifying, able to kill Qiong Sen with a single strike.

Xiao Ye... has become even more unfathomable.

"An’an, thank you." Xiao Ye flew towards Guo An’an, his eyes showing a hint of softness.

He remembered the scene of her risking her life to block Qiong Sen, which he had witnessed.

Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!

Xiao Ye raised his hand, the four Emperor Martial Powers fused, and the silver Fusion Emperor Martial Power enveloped Guo An’an entirely. Being so close to Xiao Ye made her body tremble, her face flushed.

Then, a more unbelievable scene took place.

Her injuries were recovering at an astonishing speed.

"Xiao Ye Brother, hide quickly. Not just the four great talents of the Northern State are hunting you, but others are also looking for you."

"Because someone spread the word that you possess numerous advanced combat techniques and cultivation techniques."

"Qiong Sen’s scream surely attracted people." Guo An’an regained consciousness and said anxiously.

"Someone spread the news?" Xiao Ye slightly frowned, then smiled wryly.

At this moment, Guo An’an was still concerned enough to warn him.

"No worries, now in the Plain Battlefield, I fear no one. I’ll heal you first." Xiao Ye said lightly, activating the Fusion Emperor Martial Power to heal Guo An’an.

"Xiao Ye Brother..." Guo An’an was stunned, realizing she’s even more unable to see through Xiao Ye.

Could Xiao Ye believe he can contend with the combined forces of the four great talents of the Northern State?

"Xiao Ye!"

Just then, a fierce sound of wind breaking arrived. In midair, figures flashed. A group of figures levitated over, exuding a powerful aura.

Xiao Ye looked up, squinting his eyes slightly.

There were about ten of them, most of whom he had seen in the Plain Battlefield’s central area. They were powerful, including You Lei, who had fought him.

At the moment, You Lei’s gaze was filled with doubt as he looked at Xiao Ye.

"Are you here to snatch my Holy Dragon Crystals, or to take my cultivation techniques and combat skills?" Xiao Ye glanced at the youths and asked casually.

"Hmph, stop talking nonsense. Let’s attack together and seize his Holy Dragon Crystals and cultivation skills!"

"Yes, otherwise when the four from the Northern State arrive, we’ll have to step aside."

"After taking the cultivation techniques and combat skills, we can simply surrender and leave, abandoning the True Martial Baptism. As long as we’re powerful, there’s still a chance for True Martial Baptism."

...

The next moment, except for You Lei, the dozen youths shouted in unison, charging towards Xiao Ye.

"There are only ten slots for the True Martial Baptism this time, and with too many people on the Plain Battlefield today, I’ll sweep across the entire battlefield!"

Xiao Ye’s black hair billowed as he whispered to himself.
