Martial Conquest of the Nine Desolates-Chapter 1348 - 1331: Iron Blood Emperor Domain, the Death Knell Sounds!
(Today is the Lantern Festival, wishing all readers a happy Lantern Festival.)
Boom!
In the sky, Elder Changmei suffered severe injuries, with several of his bones broken. He no longer had his previous immortal demeanor, continuously coughing up blood, staining the sky, in an extremely embarrassing state.
At this moment, he was surrounded by Heavenly Elder, dozens of Emperor Beasts, and Titled Emperor Martial from the Wuji Sect. The severe injuries affected his strength, causing him to be overwhelmed.
A mistake made once, leads to mistakes all along!
He had been too careless with the Half-Step Emperor’s body, directly struck by the terrifying combat techniques of the Half-Step Emperor, which resulted in severe injuries and the current predicament.
"Despicable!"
"That was clearly just a shell of a Half-Step Emperor’s body, merely an empty husk without the Divine Charm, so how could it wield such terrifying combat techniques?"
Elder Changmei operated his cultivation technique, forcing his body to absorb the primordial energy within a hundred miles, repairing the injuries. Recalling the terrifying power of the Nine Dragon Holy Method, his heart was in turmoil.
Such combat techniques are formidable even compared to his peak strength, let alone now where he faces so many powerful opponents, his mind seriously scattered. If things go awry, he might indeed fall here today.
After all, even though Heavenly Elder’s vitality is declining, he is genuinely a Half-Step Emperor.
Thinking of this, Elder Changmei had thoughts of retreating.
Although the various treasures on Xiao Ye, even the Emperor Realm cultivation technique, tempted him greatly, they were insignificant compared to his life.
Having cultivated to this realm, his lifespan greatly increased, vitality abundant, he could easily live for several hundred more years, becoming invincible in an era without Great Emperors, even potentially reaching the supreme realm, so naturally he cherished his life.
"Old bastard, next year on this day will be your death day!"
Xiao Ye roared madly, pushing the Dayan Driving Heaven Technique, controlling the Half-Step Emperor’s body, flying towards Elder Changmei, terrifying energy soaring to the sky, firmly locking onto his opponent.
"Xiao Ye, though I am from the Iron Blood Emperor Domain, having reached this realm, the Iron Blood Emperor Domain no longer binds me much."
"Let’s stop here; I promise never to interfere again in your Wuji Sect and Iron Blood Emperor Domain’s struggle!"
Seeing this scene, Elder Changmei’s heart pounded, hurriedly shouted his plea.
A Half-Step Emperor lowering his stance to plead with Xiao Ye—unbelievable in the past, enough to shock audiences.
"Hmph, I, Xiao Ye, don’t provoke anyone in the Three Alliances Domain, yet your Iron Blood Emperor Domain sought trouble; do you think I’ll let you go today?" Xiao Ye said coldly, simultaneously raising his hands in a supporting-the-sky gesture again.
The Dayan Driving Heaven Technique elevated from entry-level to intermediate, allowing Xiao Ye and the Half-Step Emperor’s body to connect, but only capable of activating this one combat technique.
Other techniques require Xiao Ye to carefully ponder and comprehend before possibly displaying them.
But even if it can only activate this one technique, it’s sufficient.
Boom boom boom!
Simultaneously, the void shattered, nine Holy Dragons surged from the Half-Step Emperor’s palms, shocking the Heavenly Dome, their massive bodies annihilating everything, Half-Step Emperor’s power sweeping across the heavens, heading towards Elder Changmei.
"Damn it!"
Elder Changmei roared, unleashing all his cultivation, invincible Sword Intent soared, forming a domain, confronting the nine Holy Dragons.
Boom boom boom boom!
As if the creation of the world, energy rolled forming endless energy storms, stretching hundreds of miles, nine Holy Dragons shattered one by one, turning into starlight drifting in the void.
While Elder Changmei’s invincible Sword Intent domain also shattered, blood stained his body, half of his form exploded, retreating frantically mid-air.
In direct confrontation with the combat technique of that Half-Step Emperor’s body, he was overwhelmed!
"Unique Dao Skill!"
Heavenly Elder seized this opportunity, directly evolving his martial attack technique, carrying infinite anomalies, once again engulfing Elder Changmei’s broken body, worsening his injuries, rapidly reducing his qi, plummeting helplessly from the sky.
"Should be dead now."
Xiao Ye breathed a sigh of relief, retracting the Half-Step Emperor’s body, feeling a severe headache, his Emperor Martial Intent exhausted, struggling to hold his spirit, staring at Elder Changmei’s blood-covered figure. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞
The Wuji Sect members also showed relieved smiles.
"Even in death, I won’t let you have peace!"
At that moment, Elder Changmei’s plummeting body suddenly paused, his eyes widening fiercely, filled with venomous hatred, flipping over, dragging his broken body towards the Sword Emperor and others.
Pfft!
In a flash, Sword Emperor spat blood, sent flying.
"Ah!"
Beside Sword Emperor, five Titled Emperor Martial also exploded simultaneously.
"Seeking death!"
Heavenly Elder enraged, like an angry lion, unleashed a torrent of energy surging across the Nine Heavens, his figure flickering past, a heavy punch directly penetrating Elder Changmei’s body, even exploding his head, instantly losing all qi.
"Damn it!"
Confirming Elder Changmei no longer had any life essence, Xiao Ye gritted his teeth.
In the negligence, the opponent managed to kill five Titled Emperor Martial, with Sword Emperor’s life uncertain. If not for Heavenly Elder’s swift response, their Wuji Sect would have suffered even worse casualties.
Meanwhile, Iron Blood Emperor Domain.
In a luxurious palace, the Iron Blood Emperor’s son in blood armor sat cross-legged, meditating.
"With Elder Changmei’s involvement, Xiao Ye should fall."
"Not having Xiao Ye perish by my hand is a regret..." Iron Blood Emperor’s son suddenly opened his eyes, a cold smile appearing.
Elder Changmei, one of their Iron Blood Emperor Domain’s Half-Step experts, in addition to ten thousand Iron Blood Army, annihilating a Wuji Sect should be effortless.
Dong dong dong!
At this moment, melodic bells suddenly rang from deep within the Iron Blood Emperor Domain, echoing across the domain, filled with mournfulness, as if someone wept.
"Is this the sound of the death knell?"
Iron Blood Emperor’s son’s expression turned to stunned disbelief.
The tolling of the death knell symbolizes a ritual, each time marking the passing of a major figure in the domain, needing all martial artists within to pay tribute.
Such recognition requires at least an Eight Stars Titled Emperor Martial.
And within the Iron Blood Emperor Domain, the death knell hadn’t been rung for nearly a hundred years.
"Emperor’s son, bad news, Elder Changmei’s disciple reports..."
"Elder Changmei’s Soul Jade has shattered."
Then suddenly, a servant hurriedly entered the palace, addressing the Iron Blood Emperor’s son, causing his pupils to dilate, a wave of chill sweeping through his body.
