Martial Conquest of the Nine Desolates

"Although this group of Boundary Bandits is formidable, their overall strength is only comparable to Wu Guang. It seems Wu Guang was just unlucky, which is why he didn’t obtain the map."

Under the gray starry sky, Xiao Ye slew the leader of this group of Boundary Bandits, leaving the others leaderless, naturally causing them to collapse like a mountain and flee frantically.

Xiao Ye couldn’t be bothered to pursue them and ordered his Army Commander to lead the Spirit Army Soldiers back to the Flying Warship.

"This is the endpoint on the map, but this gray starry sky is so vast; who knows where the treasure is." Xiao Ye released his Spiritual Sense, sweeping across the area, searching the gray starry sky.

At this moment, in the direction where Wu Jiu Sha’s Boundary Bandits were fleeing, a surge of Spirit Rank aura suddenly erupted. These auras converged together, as if an exotic beast in the starry sky had awakened, shaking this part of the gray starry sky.

"My God!"

"So many Boundary Bandits!"

...

Lei Yunhu and the other three Army Commanders couldn’t help but exclaim.

Under their shocked gazes, they saw in the front of the starry sky, various enormous Spiritual Artifacts floating, flags waving above them, crowded with figures dressed as Boundary Bandits.

There were simply too many Boundary Bandits; probably numbering in the millions, they swarmed over the gray starry sky, densely packed, like a disturbed hornet’s nest, rushing in successively to surround Xiao Ye and his team.

Although they are numerous, they are clearly divided into five large camps, each camp with many Earth Spirit Realm experts stationed.

"This..."

Xiao Ye felt his scalp tingling.

The treasure hidden in this gray starry sky had attracted the attention of all the Boundary Bandits in the Blue Demon Star Domain, manufacturing immense slaughter just to find the treasure.

Despite the starry sky map of the treasure being owned by few in the Boundary Bandits, yet in front of these Boundary Bandits, although lacking the aura of Heavenly Spirit Realm experts, there were simply too many of them.

This was likely the strongest five forces of Boundary Bandits in the Blue Demon Star Domain.

The Eighth Series Blue Demon Spirit Army he commanded, even after cultivating the Ten Thousand Army Strategy, had little chance of fighting their way out.

"Hmph, you even killed Wu Jiu Sha!"

"Spirit Kings under Lord Blue Demon, do you intend to break our agreement and battle us again? You must give us an explanation for this matter!"

A red-skinned elder flew out from among these Bandits, his eyes sharp like an eagle, speaking coldly.

"Breaking the balance?"

Xiao Ye was slightly taken aback and looked in the direction indicated by the red-skinned elder, immediately seeing the crowd of Boundary Bandits parting, with a group of Spirit Army Soldiers leading the way.

"Haha, Boss Ying, we four Spirit Kings have reached a consensus with you to halt meaningless slaughter before the treasure appears. This is certainly valid."

"This lad is a newly appointed Spirit King under Lord Blue Demon, ignorant of how high the heavens are, intruding here and killing Wu Jiu Sha, which is unrelated to us."

A clear laughter rang out.

Behind this group of Spirit Army Soldiers, four figures appeared.

"Demon Weapon!"

"I’ve finally met you!"

Among them, a figure enveloped in silver light made Xiao Ye squint slightly.

However, hearing this conversation, he realized that seems the treasure indeed hadn’t appeared yet.

"Unrelated to you?"

"Just a sentence can erase all this?"

"Your Spirit King killed one of our Earth Spirit Realm strongholds, indirectly weakening our strength," the red-skinned elder said arrogantly.

"That’s simple."

"Boss Ying, you lost an Earth Spirit Realm expert, let me personally kill him to calm your anger, how about that?"

Demon Weapon walked out, with the Holy Seal of silver light, faintly visible a Spirit Seed inside his body already took root and sprouted, gently swaying and releasing waves that caused ripples across the starry sky, silencing all the voices of the Boundary Bandits.

Even among the Boundary Bandits’ Earth Spirit Realm experts, a trace of fear flashed in their eyes.

A Martial Artist who cultivated the Primordial Law Ancient Scripture and broke into the Earth Spirit Realm was truly terrifying!

Demon Weapon, with three Spirit Kings, first arrived in this starry sky and fought fiercely with them, but Demon Weapon, by himself, infiltrated the Boundary Bandit camp and took the lives of seven or eight Earth Spirit Realm experts, shocking all of them.

Plus, with the temptation of the treasure ahead, these Boundary Bandits, having gaps among themselves, reached an agreement with Demon Weapon to stop meaningless slaughter before the treasure appears.

After all, there were still three major Spirit Kings on Demon Weapon’s side, not to be trifled with.

"Fine, then this old man will wait for your performance." The red-skinned elder nodded, flew back, and withdrew with all the Boundary Bandits.

"Demon Weapon, you’re too excessive!"

Lei Yunhu’s face flushed red with anger, his body trembling.

Under Lord Blue Demon, Spirit Kings can form their own armies. If they discover a treasure, they can handle it at their discretion; this has become the consensus in the Blue Demon Star Domain.

But the Demon Weapon in front of him actually cooperated with the Boundary Bandits for the treasure and attacked his own side’s Spirit King?

This was simply insane.

Bu Qianqiu and Ye Qing, the two Army Commanders, were also furious.

"Xiao Ye, originally I planned to let you live a few more days, but you chose to avoid the path to heaven and force your way into hell."

"You are the last Martial Artist of this Era cultivating the Taichu Ancient Scripture; let me end you."

Demon Weapon stared at Xiao Ye, hatred flames spreading in his body.

Since the Spirit King Competition began, he and Xiao Ye had indeed become complete adversaries, where nothing needed to be said, only by shedding each other’s blood could it all be resolved.

"Use my murder as a bargaining chip to make peace with these Boundary Bandits?"

"Demon Weapon, after breaking into the Earth Spirit Realm, you really have no backbone left." Xiao Ye said coldly.

"Even without these Boundary Bandits, I would still make a move against you; you who couldn’t break into the Earth Spirit Realm are truly pitiful."

Demon Weapon stepped through the air, immense Spiritual Power soared skyward, forming a Spiritual Power vortex, shaking the starry sky, causing the three Army Commanders and Spirit Army Soldiers beside Xiao Ye to retreat in shock, full of astonishment.

Demon Weapon, after entering the Earth Spirit Realm, his strength was truly immeasurable.

"Without entering the Earth Spirit Realm, killing you is still a breeze; your whole life, you can only look up to me!"

Xiao Ye reached out a hand, the Tai Chu Spirit Seed shuddered, terrifying Tai Chu Spiritual Power surged forth, also forming a Spiritual Power vortex, crashing against the opponent’s vortex, causing the starry sky to fracture.

"Such terrifying Spiritual Power, he is only in the late-stage of Spirit Transformation, and yet he can contend with Demon Weapon?"

"This... this Spirit King actually cultivated the Taichu Ancient Scripture?"

...

Viewing from the distance, the Boundary Bandits all gasped.

"Ancient Spirit Rune Technique!"

At this moment, Xiao Ye leapt forward, actively charging towards Demon Weapon, as Spirit Runes appeared in the starry sky. The Thousand-Pattern Battle Map emerged, Divine Light overflowing, pressing towards Demon Weapon.

"Hmph!"

"Xiao Ye, do you really think the first realm of the Ancient Spirit Rune Technique can still threaten me? I am no longer what I used to be." Demon Weapon said with a sinister face, lightly punching, easily shattering the Thousand-Pattern Battle Map.

"Is that so?"

"I, Xiao Ye, have bided my time for three years; my current strength is far beyond your estimation?"

"Thousand-Pattern Battle Map... Nine Layers!"

Xiao Ye let out a long roar, terrifying Tai Chu Spiritual Power surged instantaneously, rune power skyrocketed, condensing nine layers of the Thousand-Pattern Battle Map in an instant. In Demon Weapon’s incredulous gaze, it was as if the hands of divine spirits were pressing down towards his head.
