Chapter 1608 - 1591: The Final Battle Approaches
"Damned thing, that brat Xiao Ye actually hid his strength during the duel with me!"The Barbarian Emperor clenched his fists, like a berserk ferocious beast, filled with hatred as he fully comprehended the situation.
Many factors can influence the strength of the Quasi-Emperor Realm, including cultivation techniques, combat techniques, secret techniques, physique, and understanding of martial arts.
The strength that Xiao Ye just displayed, even though not quite at the Quasi-Emperor level, at least surpassed the Extreme Half-Emperor level, almost on par with what they could summon now.
Especially the Emperor Realm that nurtures three perfected mysterious forces, faintly emitting Half-Emperor power from a distance, as if an Emperor Road was forged, spreading through heaven and earth, making him feel a pang of unease.
If Xiao Ye had unleashed such power from the start, he wouldn’t need any Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, and they couldn’t have stopped him, much like when Xiao Ye and they mutually countered each other before.
The expressions of the Five Sealed Emperor Strong People turned incredibly solemn at this moment, feeling as if a mountain was pressing down on them.
Clearly, Xiao Ye possessed sufficient strength, but why would he hide it?
"You five Sealed Emperor Strong People teamed up, yet you dare not fight me?"
"Or are you considering whether to pay a painful price to kill me?" Xiao Ye asked with a cold laugh, his eyes radiant.
Earlier, he hid his strength to feign weakness before the Five Sealed Emperor Strong People, making it easier to execute the Hundred Battle Secret Skill.
Otherwise, if he unleashed all his power, as long as the Five Sealed Emperor Strong People weren’t fools, they wouldn’t duel him for long.
Since he’s been discovered, he chose not to hide anymore, confronting the Five Sealed Emperor Strong People directly, using the Hundred Battle Secret Skill to simulate their martial arts, break through and end this dark turmoil.
He still possessed quite a lot of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures from the Emperor Realm, and with his current strength, although perilous, the success rate wouldn’t be considered low.
Moreover, even if he failed, he could summon the Four Emperors for assistance, so he would not fall into annihilation.
Fortune favors the brave!
"Xiao Ye, there’s no need for you to provoke, didn’t expect you to reach this level, truly beyond my expectations."
"This battle has no meaning; let’s just stop here. Between us, there will be a final showdown, and that day will soon come."
The Sword Emperor’s eyes flashed as he spoke first, quickly transforming into sword light and disappearing from sight.
He was the first to discover Xiao Ye was probing the secrets of their martial arts.
Now, Xiao Ye’s strength is almost on par with them, and with so many Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, even teaming up would not be advantageous, making it hard to kill Xiao Ye, better to seize the time to cultivate.
Once breaking through the shackles, they would become flawless Quasi-Emperors, sweeping across.
"Humph!"
The Barbarian Emperor resentfully glanced at Xiao Ye, then vanished together with the Heavenly Emperor.
"What a pity."
With a sigh, the Wind Emperor transformed into a gentle breeze and departed.
In the blink of an eye, four of the Five Sealed Emperor Strong People left, leaving only the Dark Emperor remaining with a somber expression.
They, the Five Sealed Emperor Strong People, facing such a good opportunity, were unraveled by Xiao Ye’s mere few words.
"Dark Emperor, you vowed to take the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures from my hands, you wouldn’t be scared away, would you?"
Xiao Ye thought to himself that it’s a pity, eyes scanning the Dark Emperor.
Under the gaze of his Hundred Battle Eye, he saw the Dark Emperor’s martial arts as a mass of dark brilliant light, the chains binding the Dark Emperor’s martial arts were nearly breaking, his recovery pace exceeding Xiao Ye’s expectations.
"Xiao Ye, you are not yet qualified to act arrogantly before me!"
"A year later, whether or not I become a flawless Quasi-Emperor, I will face you in a life-and-death battle, it’s either you or me."
"Also, you must never forget--the Cang Clan, and the ultimate palace main Palace Master." The Dark Emperor spoke coldly, enveloped in Wu Guang, seemed to teleport away.
Xiao Ye’s growth is too terrifying, putting immense pressure on him; he can’t wait anymore, a year is the maximum timeframe he can accept.
In a year, perhaps he can achieve extreme elevation.
"The Dark Emperor indeed knows the whereabouts of the Cang Clan Patriarch and the ultimate palace Main Palace Master."
The brazenness in Xiao Ye’s eyes slowly subsided, exhaling gently, without an idea, he chose not to dwell further.
Under the gaze of his Hundred Battle Eye, the Dark Emperor is likely close to breaking free from the Evil Technique’s restriction, restoring Quasi-Emperor’s strength.
As for the other Four Sealed Emperor Strong People, they are about the same, when the time comes, during his battle with the Dark Emperor, they certainly wouldn’t stand idly by.
"Is the grand showdown taking place a year later then..."
"At that time, it’s either I, Xiao Ye, will fall, or the dark turmoil will be completely ended."
"Four masters, your disciple won’t disappoint you."
Even though the strength of a Quasi-Emperor is within reach, Xiao Ye still feels significant pressure.
His power exposed, within this year, the Five Sealed Emperor Strong People likely won’t accept his challenge, certainly focusing madly on cultivation, waiting to intercept his breakthrough.
"Luckily, from the battle with the Barbarian Emperor, I acquired a portion of his martial arts, maybe using this I can leap the Dragon Gate, allowing the Four Emperor Skills to completely break through."
Xiao Ye flew back.
"Sect Leader!"
"Lord Xiao!"
"Why did the Five Sealed Emperor Strong People all leave together?"
...
Seeing Xiao Ye flying through the air, all disturbances ceased, the Martial Artists from Wuji Sect, hiding far away, finally dared to show themselves, each filled with puzzled expressions.
"Xiao Ye, your strength..."
Having been thrown back by the pressure from the Five Sealed Emperor Strong People, unable to approach, the Sword Emperor hurried forward.
Among everyone, only he saw clearly, Xiao Ye easily resisted the Dark Emperor’s move, before the Five Sealed Emperor Strong People retreated.
He can hardly imagine what level Xiao Ye has reached.
"Senior Sword Emperor."
"Next, I will give my all and retreat to prepare for the final showdown with the Five Sealed Emperor Strong People in a year."
"Wuji Sect and the still-sleeping Little White, I entrust you to take care of them."
Xiao Ye said to the Sword Emperor.
"What?"
"The final showdown after a year!"
Upon hearing Xiao Ye’s words, the Sword Emperor was shocked, ready to inquire further, but Xiao Ye left him only a silhouette.
A year’s time is very brief.
Xiao Ye did not want to waste any time, immediately retreating upon returning to Wuji City.
Meanwhile, at the Heavenly Emperor Divine Dynasty.
Swish!
The towering figure of the Heavenly Emperor flashed, rushing into the golden palace of the Emperor Divine Dynasty.
"Dark Emperor, you all can break free from the Supreme Evil Technique’s restraint, but what does it matter? We are not martial artists of this life, declining vitality is a fact, even if reaching Quasi-Emperor realm again, advancing to Emperor Realm is challenging."
"The Dark Emperor and those four probably couldn’t have imagined that when I first arrived at the Central State, I began deploying, and I would be the strongest of this era."
The Heavenly Emperor sat atop the throne, a smile forming on his face, gazing towards a certain direction of the Heavenly Emperor Divine Dynasty.
There lies an expansive starry sky, where stars emerge, radiating star light, brilliant and dazzling.
