Martial Conquest of the Nine Desolates-Chapter 1313 - 1296: Return to the Sealing Emperor Hall
It was as if a deity had awoken within Xiao Ye’s body, his aura surging dramatically. The four types of Emperor Martial Power were all amplified, and at the point where his palm touched the Heavenly Ascension Stele, visible ripples spread out in all directions.
The Heavenly Ascension Stele emitted a resonant sound, and the pillar of light shooting skyward grew even larger and more dazzling. Even from a great distance, it was clearly visible, drawing the attention of the Martial Artists in Sealing Emperor City.
"What?"
The Sword Emperor’s pupils suddenly shrank, and his eyes widened as he looked at the heavenly dome where the stars were shifting, disbelief written all over his face.
Could it be... that Xiao Ye’s Titled Emperor Martial Star Level evaluation was not just four stars?
"This little guy is truly terrifying!"
The always enigmatic Heavenly Elder even trembled at this moment, and the smile on his face was replaced by solemnity. Divine Radiance burst in his cloudy eyes as he looked up towards the sky.
At this moment, next to the four stars above the heavenly dome, another star slowly appeared, flickering and indefinite.
"Could it be four and a half stars?"
"No...no, it’s actually five stars!"
"Oh my God, five stars!"
With a loud rumbling sound, the fifth star finally fully appeared.
Above the heavenly dome, five stars were aligned, casting a clear brilliance. Vaguely, the True Dragon Sound roared, echoing through the air, spreading out in all directions over Sealing Emperor City.
"Five stars!"
Seeing this star, from its previous flickering presence to its complete emergence, the Sword Emperor’s heart trembled violently and he could not utter a single word, as if he saw a magnificent figure of a peerless powerhouse standing behind Xiao Ye.
Although Xiao Ye had just gained one more star, the difference in strength it represented was at least tenfold.
One must know that in this field of Titled Emperor Martial, it is already very close to the peak of Martial Arts on the True Spirit Continent. How difficult is it to improve even a little bit in strength? Even a powerful figure like him has only been evaluated as six stars!
Moreover, his cultivation is at Emperor Level 8 Mid Stage, whereas Xiao Ye’s cultivation is only at Emperor Level 7 Early Stage...
There is simply no comparison!
Xiao Ye’s future potential far surpassed his own. In the future, he was destined to become a heaven-defying existence, destined to recreate the brilliance of those in the Titled Emperor Martial Realm who could be evaluated above nine stars in the ancient times.
"I can’t stand it, even I am under pressure!"
"This brat, was he born just to make others feel inadequate?" The Sword Emperor had a bitter smile on his face, yet he was incredibly excited, his voice even trembling.
The greater Xiao Ye’s potential, the more it proved that his judgment was correct, and surely, Heavenly Elder would no longer have any hesitation.
The evaluation of five-star level strength had already far exceeded Heavenly Elder’s expectations, and alongside Xiao Ye was a Half-step Emperor.
"Alas, I didn’t expect I still underestimated this little guy. It seems these old bones of mine will yet have to offer their last bit of warmth."
"Sword Emperor, notify all forces in Sealing Emperor City. Tomorrow, I will personally preside over a summit meeting in Sealing Emperor City. Anyone who dares to defy will be eliminated by me." Heavenly Elder’s face was filled with excitement, as if he had suddenly become younger, his voice full of determination.
Having been an ancient relic of Sealing Emperor City, he had special feelings for it. Like the Sword Emperor, he did not want to see Sealing Emperor City decline step by step.
And he believed that having Sealing Emperor City aid Xiao Ye’s rise to dominance in Central State would certainly lead Sealing Emperor City to reach the pinnacle once more and continue to thrive.
"Heavenly Elder, rest assured!" The Sword Emperor chuckled and nodded.
"With the Sword Emperor and Heavenly Elder stepping in, it seems there is no problem securing Sealing Emperor City." Xiao Ye breathed a sigh of relief, ceased activating the secret technique, walked to Bing Ya’s side with a relaxed smile, though a hint of regret lingered in his heart.
One Thought Flower, Invincible, is a supreme secret technique created by the Undefeated Emperor. At the Highest Realm, it can amplify one’s strength a hundred times over.
Back in the days at the Tianwu Sea, the Undefeated Emperor manifested in a Half-step Emperor form, using this secret technique, and could rival a Great Emperor. All aspects of strength were increased a hundredfold, crushing the Demon Palace Master with overwhelming force.
Unfortunately, the requirements to perform such a secret technique are too high. To reach the Undefeated Emperor’s utmost hundredfold realm, it requires not only comprehension but also very profound Martial Arts Enlightenment, a powerful physical body, and a high cultivation realm, among other factors as a foundation.
At the very least, he is far from achieving this currently. Perhaps only after becoming a Half-step Emperor would it be possible.
Activating the Fifth Star was already his limit.
"Hmm?"
Xiao Ye suddenly turned his head, seeing Bing Ya standing there with a pure aura, like a Green Lotus, smiling at him brightly, as if the whole of heaven and earth dimmed in comparison.
"What’s wrong?" Xiao Ye smiled slightly.
"I was just thinking how the guy I used to tease at Chongyang Sect is becoming more outstanding, so outstanding that I can only look up to him." Bing said lightly, looking at Xiao Ye who’s now half a head taller than herself.
Back then, Xiao Ye’s height was just on par with hers, but now she truly had to look up to him.
She couldn’t fathom the effort and sweat this young man had put into his journey all along.
"That’s because I have to become strong to protect what matters to me, whether it’s in the past or the future." Xiao Ye sighed, gently patting Bing Ya’s head fondly as he spoke.
Protection is also Xiao Ye’s Martial Arts.
After securing Sealing Emperor City, he would establish his own sect, creating his own force, and even contend with the Four Great Emperor Domains.
At this moment, turmoil spread throughout Sealing Emperor City.
Because the starlight emitted by the Heavenly Ascension Stele was so bright, almost all Martial Artists in Sealing Emperor City could see it.
In Sealing Emperor City, within the Yue Family, one of the Ten Great Families.
Yue Xing, with his gray-white hair, sat cross-legged, repairing injuries, his eyes filled with shock.
He, being a Titled Emperor Martial, naturally knew the starlight from the Heavenly Ascension Stele, and the appearance of the five stars shocked him endlessly.
Looking across Sealing Emperor City today, apart from Heavenly Elder and the Sword Emperor, who else could achieve a five-star strength evaluation?
"Whose five-star level strength evaluation could it be?"
"It shouldn’t be Xiao Ye; he surely isn’t that powerful!"
Even though he had a hunch, Yue Xing still tried to console himself.
Meanwhile, the Titled Emperor Martial among the other Nine Major Families and Ten Great Sects were equally shocked.
But soon, their self-reassurance was shattered by the Sword Emperor.
Aside from announcing Xiao Ye’s strength, the Sword Emperor conveyed Heavenly Elder’s intentions for the Ten Great Families and Ten Great Sects to attend tomorrow’s summit meeting.
At this moment, Xiao Ye left the remaining matters to Heavenly Elder and the Sword Emperor. He took Bing Ya and flew towards the vast starry sky shrouding Sealing Emperor City.
He was going to return to Sealing Emperor Hall to retrieve the treasure he had long desired.
