Martial Conquest of the Nine Desolates-Chapter 518 - 504 Xiao Ye’s Cultivation

At this moment, Xiao Ye was still trapped within the dark space created by the Martial Arts Demonic Energy.

He was aware of everything happening outside, but he simply couldn’t wake up because he was at a critical juncture.

"My cultivation, indeed, has not reached the King Martial!" In the dark space, Xiao Ye sat cross-legged with four misty Cave Heavens rising behind him, like jade tainted with dust, that once the dust cleared, would once again emit its deserved radiance.

"Damn it, when I was in the Yellow Dragon Island Space, I clearly triggered the King Tribulation!" Xiao Ye cursed in his heart, recalling the scene.

During his arduous four months of cultivation in the Yellow Dragon Island Space, on the last two days, Xiao Ye finally fully understood the Slaughter Principle, drawing a vast King Tribulation. He took out the Blood Demon Fruit from the Ancient Battlefield within the space ring, which reduced most of the Heavenly Tribulation; he successfully traversed the King Tribulation.

However, unlike other martial artists who after traversing the King Tribulation would automatically transform their Cave Heavens into the King Realm, his was obscured by a layer of misty light, making the four Cave Heavens nearly merge into one. Even Xiao couldn’t see clearly, unknown whether he had reached the King Martial level or not.

This was also why even the powerful warriors from the Emperor Martial Realm were unable to sense Xiao Ye’s level of cultivation.

But he could feel that his strength had greatly increased, he was no longer considered weak within the King Martial Realm; otherwise, at the entrance of the labyrinth for the Earth Hall assessment, he would not have defeated several disciples from the Xuanzi Hall so effortlessly.

This time, with the suppression of the Martial Arts Demonic Energy, his four Cave Heavens were rejuvenated, only then did he realize that he indeed had not ascended to King Martial, which was a significant opportunity, otherwise, he wouldn’t know when he would discover his issue.

"What exactly is going on? My cultivation has reached the peak of the Void Martial Realm, and the Slaughter Principle has been fully understood, my strength has completely stepped into the King Martial Realm, why can’t my cultivation break through?"

Xiao Ye sat cross-legged on the ground, pondering, momentarily neglecting the ten Law Enforcement Elders waiting outside; after all, without ascending to King Martial, he had no foothold in the Taiyi Palace.

But possessing unprecedented, historically brilliant four Cave Heavens, without prior practitioners’ experience, he could only explore on his own, and no one knew why even though Xiao Ye’s cultivation and the Slaughter Principle had met the conditions to ascend to King Martial, he still couldn’t break through.

"Could it be because I didn’t completely traverse the King Tribulation?" A thought suddenly struck Xiao Ye’s mind.

The Blood Demon Fruit, a Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure, could offset most of the King Tribulation, thus allowing a martial artist to pass more easily and ascend to King Martial. But this was generally the case, and it was also what Xiao Ye had heard from Nangong Xingyu.

For someone like him with four Cave Heavens, whether this would work was still uncertain.

The more Xiao Ye thought about it, the more he felt there was a significant possibility. After all, he had always strictly cultivated according to the Four Emperors Skills; there had been no issues up till now, and the conditions were sufficient for him to ascend to King Martial.

The problem now, very likely, was because of the Blood Demon Fruit; besides this reason, Xiao Ye could not think of any other.

"With my current cultivation, it is quite simple to attract the King Tribulation; just moving to the outside world and using the Fusion Cave Heaven to create a response would do." Thinking up to here, Xiao Ye made up his mind.

"I should head out now, quickly pass the Third Layer’s assessment, then become a disciple of the Earth Hall and find a secluded place to enter seclusion and draw forth the King Tribulation." Xiao Ye thought to himself, then stood up, his gaze sweeping the dark space around him.

"Hmph, just a mere dark space, it absolutely cannot trap me, Xiao Ye!" Xiao Ye roared loudly.

The fully realized Slaughter Principle and the power of the four Cave Heavens were released from him, sweeping through the dark space.

This space was not solid, but an illusion; naturally, Xiao Ye’s cultivation wouldn’t be suppressed by external arrays, making it impossible to exhibit.

"Open for me!"

Xiao Ye roared again, his back bearing the four Cave Heavens, eyes shooting out brilliant sparks, he stepped forward, and with both hands, tore through the void.

Boom!

Suddenly, a space rift appeared in the void, from which intense light shone out, invigorating Xiao Ye’s spirit.

Whoosh!

In the next moment, Xiao Ye’s figure transformed into a bolt of lightning, rushing out through the rift.

Swipe!

At the same time, Xiao Ye in the outside world opened his eyes, his pupils intertwining with dazzling divine radiance, awe-inspiring.

"Xiao Ye has awakened?" Ten Law Enforcement Elders from the Earth Hall simultaneously came to their senses, their eyes filled with joy as they looked at Xiao Ye.

Xiao Ye was able to draw out the Martial Arts Demonic Energy and woke up on his own; if this news were to spread, it would certainly create a huge sensation.

But at this moment, the expressions on the faces of the ten Law Enforcement Elders froze, plunging into shock: "Half-step Void Martial? How is this possible!"

The aura emitting from Xiao Ye was clearly that of Half-step Void Martial Realm.

At this moment, the shock in the hearts of the ten Law Enforcement Elders was beyond words.

Originally, Xiao Ye’s cultivation had always been at the Half-step Void Martial, they had thought he had already reached King Martial, but to hide his cultivation, he cultivated a secret technique to conceal his aura, which even they could not see through.

But now they realized that Xiao Ye’s cultivation had always been Half-step Void Martial Realm.

"Good heavens, a new disciple at Half-step Void Martial Realm is actually the most outstanding among the disciples in the Xuanzi Hall!" said the slightly overweight Elder, his face full of shock.

The other Elders also wore stunned expressions, their hearts pounding madly, wondering what kind of devilish disciple Xiao Ye really was.

"Cough, cough!"

Wu Tong cleared his throat, bringing the other Elders back to their senses. Thinking of their own loss of composure in front of a disciple made them feel embarrassed.

"Xiao Ye, your performance in the Second Layer was outstanding. Even if your performance in the Third Layer is somewhat lacking, we from the Earth Hall will still open our doors to you," Wu Tong said with a smile, speaking amiably to Xiao Ye.

Xiao Ye’s performance was so brilliant that his future as a powerful being was practically guaranteed, even he lowered his stance.

Hiss!

Once these words were spoken, the other fourteen disciples all inhaled sharply, their faces filled with shock.

Even if Xiao Ye’s performance in the Third Layer was mediocre, he would still enter the Earth Hall? This treatment made them nearly mad with envy; it was simply a guaranteed admission.

Even Xiao Ye was slightly stunned; he felt that the attitude of the ten Law Enforcement Elders towards him had changed significantly, but obviously, it was a good thing, and there was no need to delve deeper.

"Thank you, Elders, for your profound kindness. In the Third Layer test, I will also give my all," Xiao Ye said respectfully.
